Not defending Tim Scott, but just curious ... Do you promise to accept the results of the 2024 presidential election regardless of who wins?

Well, buckle up, hold on to your hats, whatever you need to do to prepare yourself for the new scary gun in town: the ZOMBIE GUN! https://twitchy.com/laura-w/2024/03/22/zombie-guns-maxwell-frost-n2394258 .

I still think that there’s a good chance that it will be someone not being greatly discussed. But, If I had to put money down, I’d say Tim Scott. .

Why wasn't Maxwell arrested with Epstein when he was FIRST charged in 2006? And after a two-year investigation, who gave Epstein that sweet deal of a single state charge of solicitation in 2008? Donald Trump's Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta. And who still wasn't arrested at the time? And who held on to the very end?

Biden’s ‘you ain’t black’ comment comes back to bite him as Tim Scott mocks the president leaking minority voters. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/2958479/bidens-you-aint-black-tim-scott-mocks-president-leaking-minority-voters/#google_vignette

Why wouldn’t they use Francis Scott Key? Has anyone said they are changing the name?

Ghislaine Maxwell, his representative, was at Chelsea's wedding in 2010, which was 6 years after Trump ended his relationship with him. Did they ever disavow him prior to him going down? And true on that last statement. Which is why it was odd that they had Slick campaigning for Biden. When the least tone deaf thing to do would have been to let Slick just fade into the woodwork.

What did Trump have to do with Acosta back in 2006? Nothing. And guys like him don't make decisions that don't come from higher-up. From what I can tell, Maxwell went into hiding before Epstein was arrested. She was finally found/caught. And again, why would Trump "wish her well" if she could embarrass him? Wouldn't he want to wish her ill?

Good lord. If that poll has validity if the Republicans just ran a run of the mill candidate (Nicky Haley, Tim Scott, etc.) they'd win in a landslide. Trump is such a turnoff to suburban women who cost him the 2020 election.

So says master prognosticator Scott Adams, who somehow didn't see his 3rd wife's divorce filing coming ...

Perhaps Scott Campbell should read some more, beore throwing all the lemmings into a frenzy.

Too bad the R operatives don't agree with the MAGA's here. She being the VP candidate would add a couple percentage points to the D ticket. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4642282-noem-scott-burgum-trump-vp/ “She’s just done, too much drama,” said one Republican senator who stays in touch with Trump.

If the payments were made by Trump in order to benefit the campaign but were not reported as campaign expenses, then that constitutes a campaign violation even (and especially) if the funds did not come from the campaign. The argument being presented is that the arrangement to pay Stormy Daniels came on the heels of the Access Hollywood tape. Since the tape was very damaging to Trump, the possibility of Daniels’ going public with him cheating on his wife right after their son was born would likely be viewed as a problem for the campaign. So Trump arranged to pay for something that benefited his campaign in a manner that concealed it from campaign finance reporting requirements. It’s a bit complicated if you’re not familiar with the issues here, so I’ll give a hypo: Let’s say that in addition to Bill being on the Epstein flight logs, Hillary herself was on them a bunch. During the 2016 election with all of the Pizzagate stuff, Hillary realized that her name on the logs would be a problem if it were made public. But if she arranged to pay off Epstein / Maxwell with campaign funds, she’d have to report it to the FEC. So instead, she used Clinton Foundation money to pay Epstein / Maxwell to keep the logs secret during the campaign. That would be a campaign finance violation because the money was spent to benefit the campaign but wasn’t properly done under campaign finance laws.

Scott doesn’t like black people, so no surprise he’s against this.

Rosanne Barr, Scott Baio and Kid Rock not pulling their weight, Irv?

Don't give us the BS Hillary was all over the air saying the election was stolen your a lying POS that twists things to your own agenda 90% of the time and IF you were to look and research it as hard for the others as you do against the likes of Scott you would find just as much evidence going the other way but that wouldn't fit or help your freakin agenda . So just stop with the BS ...

lmao - you’re going to be very disappointed - as usual. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21165424-epstein-flight-logs-released-in-usa-vs-maxwell

so will you vote for him? Scott Jennings is a conservative R advisor: https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2024/02/11/sotu-panel-d-full.cnn

More from the actual program, for those intelligent enough to wonder. More from the Actual @60Minutes Transcript Scott Pelley: You bring up ideology, but you don't wanna talk about it. Your Twitter site brings up grooming and you don't wanna talk about that. And what your critics say is that you're trying to impose your values on all of the parents and schools in this country. Tina Descovich: So I addressed the ideology. So I'm gonna take this one because I addressed the ideology for you to say that we don't want to address it is fake. Scott Pelley: What ideologies do you disagree with? That was the question. Tina Descovich: Yeah, and I answered that, I said Children, parents do not want their Children, let me rephrase that clearer. Parents do not want their Children learning that they can change their gender in kindergarten through third grade. 70% of parents, we know that because of the polling. Parents do not want gender… Scott Pelley: So to be clear, transgender ideology is something you disagree to? Tiffany Justice: Gender ideology has no place in American public schools, no place. Tina Descovich: 70% of American parents agree with that. They want their Children to learn to read, write, do math, history and science. They don't want…. Scott Pelley: 30% of American parents, according to your statistic, who want that kind of teaching in their school.

Mr. Plessy no doubt regretted his decision to fight that whole "separate but equal" thing. He really should have waited a hundred years or so when the composition of the Court was favorable to him. https://www.oyez.org/cases/1850-1900/163us537 Hell, for that matter, that foolish Dred Scott probably regrets not just returning to his slave master. He could've prevented the Civil War. Maybe even for another decade or so.

SLEEPERS, AWAKE! By Scott Johnson The new book by Victor Davis Hanson is The End of Everything: How Wars Descend Into Annihilation. It was published this past Tuesday. The New York Post extracted Victor’s thesis statement from the book for this column (the headline doesn’t come close to capturing the thesis). In the book Victor recounts the annihilation of Thebes, Carthage, Constantinople, and Tenochtitlan. Victor provides a précis in the publisher’s video below https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/05/sleepers-awake.php Wall Street Journal review of the book: https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/books/the-end-of-everything-review-annals-of-total-destruction-c11777cc .

Maritime Journalist Shares Early Analysis of Francis Scott Key Bridge Disaster From his link: “The vessel notified the MD Department of Transportation (MDOT) that they had lost control and a collision with the bridge was possible,” ABC quoted the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s report as saying. “The vessel struck the bridge, causing a complete collapse.” She struck the southwest support column at a speed of 7.6 knots (8.7 MPH). Cameras from the Vessel Traffic Service captured footage of the collision and subsequent collapse. The ship’s lights went out twice before the collision, indicating possible issues in the engine room. Despite the quick restoration of lighting, this suggests a full blackout occurred, prompting the emergency generator to restore basic electrical services and lighting. Without propulsion or tugboats, a ship this size is nearly impossible to stop. The emergency generator does not connect to propulsion but should support steering and navigation systems but the ships heading appears to have been pushed off course by the wind directly into the support column. Ships are not required to have tugboat escorts when passing under the Francis Scott Key Bridge so they have limited ability to slow down on their own when they lose power and can not put the propeller into reverse. https://gcaptain.com/ship-lost-control-before-hitting-baltimore-bridge/ https://twitchy.com/samj/2024/03/26/maritime-journalist-shares-early-analysis-of-francis-scott-key-bridge-disaster-n2394406 You can read Konrad's full analysis here.
