Just did some googling and Wikipedia browsing and stumbled on something crazy

As late as 2004 the Democrats had all 6 Senate seats from South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana...Crazy!

Edit - and both Dakotas were represented by a Democrat in their only Congressional district at the same time, too.

Edit 2 - And the Democrats were winning their elections by double digits in the Dakotas

Rick Scott

So I saw that he was trending on Twitter and it was because he said that the Senate trial was a complete waste of time. Then I was reminded of how much of a right-wing partisan hack he was. But what is baffling is that he has won all three of his state-wide races by less than a point. You would think that with those results that he would be more of a moderate and try to represent all his constituents...But he has shown us that there is no reason to reach out to the so-called moderate voter or trying to be bipartisan...You get elected by shoring up your base not by pretending to be a moderate...Give your base something to vote for and they will come out for you, pretend to be some moderate and you will lose (in most instances)....Especially in Florida.

Wow, didn't realize I had hearts...

Just saw that I had hearts...LOL, pretty shocking because for some reason I thought I was disliked on here.

Any Republican Senator hearing the Democrats presentation and arguments

But still deciding to acquit is just a plain a$$hole.

I can see Trump's defense now in the Georgia case

“He was president at the time of this, meaning he can only be impeached for this. He can’t be prosecuted. ”.....obviously, this is the exact opposite point they are making on this impeachment case

Yes, I am being nitpicky, but a thing bothering me

With the Democratic House impeachment manager is his constant calling Trump president....trump is watching this and he is a narcissist, if he was being called former president this would really get under his skin....plus calling him president is kind of honoring him

If Democrats lower the $75,000 threshold on stimulus checks

And if the bill is still passed 51-50 on party lines with VP Harris as the tie breaker vote ....then what would be the reason for lowering the threshold?

So now the White House press reporters want to ask follow up questions

A thing that drove me crazy during Press Secretary press conferences under Trump is that a reporter would ask a question, but Spicer, Sanders, or Mcamaney would lie and spin. Then they would call on another reporter and that reporter would let them off the hook by moving on to another unrelated question....now I am constantly seeing reporters when it’s their turn to follow up with the previous reporter’s question
