The slogan would certainly indicate that he/they don’t believe America to be great now. Something they would go to town on had someone on the Democratic Party side come up with it. 2 hours ago, carpetmonster said: The mid 1980s when Diff’rent Strokes taught us that as long as whites have the money and power and minorities are small, cute and amusing then it’ll all be fine. Nah, 1950's, before Korea and the Soviets had become a threat. WW2 was over, America was the only real power (atomic or otherwise, the Soviets only had a couple of them), the minorities knew their place (the kitchen, the other side of the tracks, the back door, the back of the bus) and the economy was booming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been living in US for 28yr now. I’ve spent the last seven years trying to get a straight answer out of them on this. my answer is typically, do you want the tax and immigration policy of that time? . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea that is you went back to the "Good old days" then similar people would be there complaining about things and were wanting to go back to the "good old days". Rinse, repeat until you get back to the stone age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 The Colorado Republican Party has appealed the Trump ballot ban to the Supreme Court. This will extend the stay on that ruling beyond 4 Jan until SCOTUS either hears and rules, rejects the appeal, or remands. Trump is planning to appeal too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively taking Trump out. Probably a few, there's a lot of spineless b*****ds in that party. Would not being on the ballot in Colorado and Maine make much difference to the outcome of any election though? Both fairly solidly Democrat places. Be interesting to see if many more states follow. Wonder when the last election was where one of the main candidates wasn't on the ballot in certain states? I know Lincoln wasn't on the ballot in a lot of southern states prior to the civil war, anyone know if it has happened since the civil war era? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he got an electoral college vote from Maine (1 out of 4) in 2016 & 2020. You're right in that it doesn't impact the electoral arithmetic significantly. Its starting to become a bit of a crescendo. Are there any battleground states where the 14th ammendment might be in play? I'm not sure on the later point. TxRover might know. Trump would probably take the comparison to Lincoln (I can see him using that). He also hopes to return the USA to the 1800s! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More significant (even if slightly) then. Michigan's Supreme Court rejected an appeal to have removed from their ballot but I think there's talk that might change depending on what happens with law suits. That would be a big blow as Trump won that in 2016. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean no criticism of your post, but even consideration of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War in the political mechanics of the 2020's reveals a lot about the shitshow of contemporary America. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. The whole thing is a complete circus and I can't for the life of me understand why the vast majority of America can't see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that, more than once, he's - laughably - said about him doing more for African Americans than any President since Lincoln.

Michigan went the way it did because it lacked a law similar to that Colorado relied upon. Not sure the story in Maine, sitting in London City Airport hoping to make tomorrow’s Raith match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
