[IsraelTimes] Lawyer for former US president argues ’long-held precedent and practice’ prohibit Congress from compelling him to testify.
Former US president Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... is suing the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol to avoid cooperating with a subpoena requiring him to testify.

There seems to be no precedent or Constitutional basis for this, but we seemed to have jumped to the French Revolution template during the BLM riots.

on the H of Representative national vote, the Republicans won 52-47 or so.
Much of this is due to the gerrymandering.
However, the get-out-t-vote, GOTV effort was badly underfunded in key districts, per some analyses.
Lindsey Graham's proposed 15 week abortion ban proposed in Oct, gave the Dem's a lot of ammunition to pump this issue and bring a handful of Ds to the HoRepresentatives.
Also, Trump's rally in PA, cost Oz a bunch of votes and energized the D GOTV based on after the vote interviews in PA.

Trump gave us Oz as a candidate. He's part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I agree, time for Trump to shut the fuck up and sit down.

One of the interesting things was that the Democrats funded Trump endorsed candidates in the Republican primaries, tens of millions of dollars worth.
Near as I can tell, every one of these candidates who received over $1M in Democrat money in the primaries lost.
Another interesting things was that the democrats organized college GOTV with beer and pizza. They couldn't do this as well in 2020 because of the pandemic.

Here is my description of the conditions for the election in the states Republicans underperformed:
1. Automatic registration of people who have no intention of voting.
2. Voter rolls under control leftist ERIC system.
3. Corrupt SOS
4. Resistance to cleaning the rolls.
5. Significant deviations from actual voting legislation and constitutional procedures.
6. Refusal of courts to enforce election laws.
7. Unrestricted mail-in voting.
8. Count center style tabulations with various restrictions to prevent actual observation of the count process.
9. Count processes that go on forever with no Election Day ballot count available to prevent the creation of additional ballots.
I think it is obvious that the issue is Trump’s use of social media.

[APNEWS] Utah Democrats’ decision to back an independent rather than nominate a member of their own party to take on Republican Mike Lee transformed the state’s U.S. Senate race from foregone conclusion to closely watched slugfest.
Independent Evan McMullin,
... CIA 10-year man, professional NeverTrump “Republican” who’s earnt his daily caviar and champagne as a policy wonk for “Conservative” orgs funded by sympathetic far left billionaires like George Soros and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar when he isn’t sucking up NeverTrump and Democrat dollars running failed political campaigns for various offices as the Deep State candidate...
an anti-Trump former Republican best known for his longshot 2016 presidential bid, attracted millions in outside spending in his campaign against Lee. He forced the second-term Republican to engage with voters more than in prior elections and emphasize an independent streak and willingness to buck leaders of his own party.
Ultimately, though, it wasn’t even close. Lee is on his way to a double-digit win.
That’s spurring a debate: Did Democrats’ strategy create a blueprint to make Republicans campaign hard, compete for moderates and expend resources in future races? Or does the sizeable loss prove that Republicans’ vice grip is impenetrable in the short term, no matter the strategy?
The answers could contain lessons for both red and blue states unaccustomed to competitive elections.
Some Democrats say supporting McMullin was worth it — it shifted the political conversation, made the race competitive and forced Lee to spend almost double what he spent in his 2016 campaign. But other Democrats say the strategy hurt down-ballot candidates who didn’t have a strong top-of-the-ticket contender to help boost them.

Study the loss hard for innovative ways to continue to lose creatively. This loss was less boring. It was the Honeynut Cheerios of campaign losses.

One of the main reasons so much new money is continually injected into our economy is so there is lots of money to lose on races like this one. I'm ready to get into the ballot printing or polling bidness in my twilight years.

Just moving the chairs around. This was the test as to whether we still have elections. We don't.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
