On a recent SMD post I wasn't sure why all of a sudden I couldn't embed Facebook posts; I later discovered I had toggled on my friends vs. global audience. That has now been adjusted.
It's one thing to attack Trump for nepotism in his administration, but I don't know who is going to vote for Biden based on Ivanka's position on COVID-19.

"Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner threaten to sue The Lincoln Project over Times Square billboards"
I wonder if Florida still uses the infamous butterfly ballot.

"Trump casts early ballot in Florida: 'I voted for a guy named Trump'"
Both Trump and Biden oppose in concept open immigration and free trade. I think Biden would be smoother in style and more diplomatic, but not a change in substance. Both Trump and Biden are interventionist.

"If Trump loses the election, will it be the end of ‘America First’?"
Darn! Trump canceled out my vote for Jo Jorgensen, but we voted in different states. Trump will lose 2 home states in 2 elections, which will make or tie the US POTUS record.

"Trump casts early ballot in Florida: 'I voted for a guy named Trump'"
The craziest end I've ever seen in the end of game 4 of the World Series where the winning run player literally somersaulted on the way to home plate and still scored when the catcher mishandled the relay throw home.

The latest IBD poll (the prior one Trumpkins promoted showing Biden ahead by only 2.3%) has Biden out in front by 7. All 5 of the latest RCP polls show Biden at the magic number of 50 or above, while it looks like Trump will have a hard time reaching 2016's 46%.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) October 25, 2020
The latest poll from the Dallas Morning News has Biden up by 3. Just a reminder: Trump leads in no Clinton state (232 electors). If Biden wins Texas' 38, he clinches the Presidency even if he loses every other state (unlikely).

The only thing worse than a Biden Presidency is Trump's reelection. But remember when Trump and his minions dismissed Biden as an election rival, Trump's extortion of Ukraine wasn't political because Biden wasn't going to get the nomination? Be really careful of what you wish for

Washpo is covering Washington's Archbishop Gregory's promotion to cardinal by Pope Francis, effective next month. You'll never guess why. He will be the first black American cardinal.

Progressives are freaking out over the admission the Presidency cannot control a pandemic by fiat. No doubt Catholic Joe Biden will pray extra hard as President for God to end the disease in the US.

"Mark Meadows"
Well, Meadows represents a POTUS who still doesn't understand how COVID-19 testing, like South Korea showed, is critical in identifying contagious people who can be isolated. Trump is still promoting the lie that testing is the problem, not the solution.

It's one thing to use the filibuster for public policy, but the Democratic abuse of it in politicizing judicial nominations is an abuse of the role of advise and consent.

"Senate Republicans vote 'overwhelmingly' to advance Amy Coney Barrett's final Supreme Court confirmation"
Listen to Woods' interview with Miller, whose own administration has thrown him under the bus for daring students to check out both sides, e.g., of the face mask kerfuffle.https://t.co/JFqOq5uZUt

My latest post takes on Biden's "public option" extension of ObamaCare, on the road to wretched nationalized healthcare.https://t.co/2tNx6chIxd

An idiot Fox sports announcer, in discussing Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw, started bashing the 2017 champion Astros as home stadium "cheaters". As a native Texan, I take exception to Astros Derangement Syndrome in my latest post.https://t.co/BrXVPxoVZu

It's sad to see Sen. Collins and the Democrats vote against a highly qualified, erudite female jurist for hypocritical, totally political reasons, Collins in a likely vain attempt to save her Senate seat.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) October 27, 2020
"US Senate confirms Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court"
The filibuster should never have been applied to judicial nominees vs. policy. The Democrats have sought to politicize the court since at least FDR's attempt to expand the court with crony rubberstamps for his economically illiterate public policies.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) October 27, 2020
"Harry Reid"
The Democrats never understood the concept of a double-edged sword in terms of filibuster reform. Now some of them threaten retaliation by ending the filibuster and packing the court if they win Senate control. Guess what happens if and when they lose it again?
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) October 27, 2020
"Harry Reid"
This morally contemptible attempt to politicize the Court would undermine its credibility and integrity as an independent branch of government. RBG, with advancing age and known healthcare issues, could have resigned during Obama's tenure and didn't.#ExpandTheCourt

As a former registered conservative Texas Democrat, I can remember when a yellow dog could get elected running on the Democrat ticket. Tower and Clements were like the first Republicans to win statewide office in a century.

"Texas is on its way to becoming a Democratic state"
With one week to go, it looks like Biden is holding steady at the magic number 50; whatever momentum Trump has is in certain Southern states like Georgia, but Biden only needs 38 electoral votes more than Clinton.

I initially started a post on Biden's COVID-19 policy (upcoming) and in passing referenced Trump's misleading claims over his travel "ban". Debunking his lies became its own post: https://t.co/w5oDwpoTWM

My latest post is a short critique of Biden's alleged COVID-19 plan. https://t.co/3FL9lL1xG5

Rubbish. I wonder how many more deaths resulted from the hypocritical left's far more prolific protests, riots, and looting.

Are you really that stupid? Obama pulled in a LOT of money from Wall Street. Why the hell did investment bankers invest so much into Obama? They wanted a seat at the table--it had zero to do with the free market. Many powerful companies play both sides to buy access.

Why didn't the Senate convict you after you illegally and unconstitutionally tried to extort Ukraine in order to attack Biden politically and you got impeached over the biggest, and most credible corrupt scandal in US history?

I got the election wrong looking at all the polls, although my call on Biden winning the election still seems on track.https://t.co/0JKAlhN5WX

This is Soft Rock America. Overnight Biden has taken the lead in Georgia. Trump sees his chances of reelection slip slidin' away. https://t.co/iaeS2xztmr

Trump's crackpot, inflammatory excuses for losing the election are a stain on the Presidency. The polls overall showed Biden at 50%, and as I write, Biden has won a majority of votes, nearly 3 points more than Trump overall. I don't recall Carter or Bush acting like sore losers.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 6, 2020
This is Soft Rock America. Biden has taken the lead in Pennsylvania. Apparently Trump and his minions got tired of winning. If Biden holds his lead in Pennsylvania, Trump is done. https://t.co/jvKPx4fTFT

This is Soft Rock America. Awaiting the official confirmation of Biden's victory with Trump mathematically eliminated from reelection. The long nightmare of the Trump Horror Show is almost over. The American people are the winners. https://t.co/xoKxoFskrv

Be clear: I supported Jorgensen, not Trump or Biden. Trump's sore loser divisive behavior is un-American. I don't know how anyone seriously considers Trump's false accusations of fraud. His narcissism won't accept the fact he lost over 50% of the vote, in line with most polls.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 6, 2020
CNN, AP, ABC, FNC and NBC have finally called Pennsylvania for President-Elect Joe Biden. Congratulations, Mr. Biden. Just like being impeached, Trump becomes one of the few Presidents to be denied reelection in American history.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 7, 2020
Sore Loser Trump is attempting to disenfranchise voters whose ballots were delayed in delivery by USPS by Election Day. This is fundamentally unjust and un-American. Trump is a stain on the American Presidency.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 7, 2020
I know it won't happen, but I wish President-Elect Biden would say, "The American people have spoken, and you, Donald J. Trump, are fired!"
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 7, 2020
Progressives are jeering at Kasich recommending Biden pursue a centrist policy. Well, the GOP will hold the Senate after the Georgia runoffs and what happened to Obama after he pointed out elections have consequences? Obama made Trump possible.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 7, 2020
"John Kasich"
You're idea of "justice" is picking someone else's pocket. "Greed" is a smear; businesses, unlike government, do not compel payment at gunpoint. Unless we are talking self-serving political whores like you who became a millionaire on the taxpayer teat.

Yeah, Biden will remember a hymn written in the late 1970's he once heard at Mass, as a "practicing Catholic", but he "forgets" the Church's moral teaching on abortion.
