It may be the most common sport (though even there, the US is NOT the most litigious nation. Not even in the top few.) … but I guarantee that it’s not the favorite one.
That never made sense to me. The candidates who are most likely to be campaigning on their manliness, their strength, and their toughness, campaign on the promise of “this country is in terrible shape, and the voting system cannot be trusted”, before asking people to vote for them anyways, before publicly whining how unfair it is that they lost and that the other person must have cheated. This is all in the course of saying why they’re the wise and responsible person to handle the important job. What?
After Hillary lost in 2016, she conceded the election to Trump, wrote her third memoir, filmed a documentary, co-founded a production company, and started a podcast. And the guy who said that she, like other women, were too emotional to be trusted with the presidency? After multiple efforts to thwart the democratic process, including an insurrection, he’s still whining about how unfair it was that he lost an election over two years ago, repeatedly citing the repeatedly and thoroughly debunked bits of “proof” to justify his whininess.
The Republicans might have had some big wins if their candidates had more of a platform than just whining about how Biden isn’t the real president. The fact that so many of them lost, will hopefully encourage the Republican party to stop being the Trump Party. Trump lost. It’s time to move on.
I blame my generation for advising young people to become doctors or lawyers, because of the earning potential. Now we have more lawyers than ever, and they need to litigate to survive, so they sue the doctors on behalf of their clients for real or imagined patient care transgressions. (Shakespeare was right!)
I can’t wait to see how many Republicans file law suits because they lost. Especially in those states that passed new voting laws because of the unproven cheating.
And the coin was fake. I know more about flipping coins than anybody, and I’m never wrong. Beyond the twenty cameras and dozens of people circled around the flip, someone should have been ‘monitoring’ .
Meanwhile, back in the White House, President Biden continues doing his job: trying to find ways to help people get out of debt, keep their homes, pay their medical bills; bringing our country’s aging infrastructure into the 21st century, finding ways to combat climate change, addressing the wrongs done to indigenous peoples, racial and cultural minorities; rebuilding international relationships with allies; supporting countries and peoples being threatened by invasion and natural disasters. Like the EverReady bunny. He just keeps on going. He may not be a great speaker, but he is a pretty good ‘doer’ and his actions are clear and straightforward. Just think where we would be if every proposed action wasn’t challenged all the way to SCOTUS. Or where we would be if Congress people would actually look at the purpose of the actions proposed rather than who was doing the proposing. It’s sickening to hear our so-called representatives yammering opposition to things they haven’t even bothered to read, let alone think through. Especially when they haven’t even tried to come up with alternatives.
hmmm…so Florida shows the USA how common sense election laws, voter rolls, IDs, drop box restrictions, and counting such can result in a clear outcome to the detriment of those by whom chaos reigns supreme…
“Let’s kill all the lawyers” is a line from William Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2. The full quote is: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”.
Makes about as much sense as Orange Traitor’s judge shopping and stopping debt relief for lower income college students. You know, one for a criminal to keep criming, the other something that would help the actual economy and working Americans.

This is why we should stop electing lawyers to public office, they use double speak and know how to circumvent the law!
