Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold expressed "disappointment" Monday at the Supreme Court's 9-0 decision that her state cannot bar former President Trump from appearing on the ballot in 2024, saying it was now up to voters to "save our democracy."
 
It was always up to the voters, which is also terrifying.

Congrats to the winners. It's no losers in this. 

I hope Dade Phelan gets voted out. Enough Rino’s in the political scene already. 

A loss is a loss. Both Jasper and Silsbee lost to Bellville. You could’ve just as easily replied “Check with Jasper” in your first post. 

We shall see. Just like Bill was toast.  Just like Hillary was toast. Just like Biden (take your pick) is toast. Just like Pelosi was toast. All above had reason to be criminally charged and prosecuted. Nothing. 
 
I have lost so much respect and confidence in our “system”. I’ll believe it when I see it. 

Mere pawns. The machine will find another lawsuit against Trump. And another. And another. (Picture the phrase “And another” fading out into infinity…).

The Speaker cannot pass laws. The Speaker can control chair and co-chair positions and I believe deny any bill to come up for a vote.
 The Speaker cannot submit bills any different than any other member. 
The Speaker cannot give money to his district or declare an emergency.
So what has Phelan done (since he was the rookie in 2021) that any other Republican would have done? Appoint committee chairman? Oh wait, when the Republicans had complete control, Phelan has appointed a total of 30 Democrats to committee chairman positions. Those committee chairmen can control what bills are allowed to be voted on in committee, thereby allowing them to come to the floor of the actual House of Representatives. The committee chairman are therefore in a fairly powerful position and Phelan gave a substantial percentage to Democrats.
So, what has this Hall of Fame, multi-state champion head coach done that the theoretical rookie head coach will not do? Appoint more Democrats instead of from his own party? I am almost positive the claimed rookie head coach would not do worse.
Your analogy is worse than weak, it is silly. If he wins election to the House again, so be it. If the Republicans again elect him as Speaker, then they get what they deserve. Hall of Fame? Multi-state champion? You’ve got to be kidding….
Again, I will ask, name what accomplishments that Phelan has done that another Republican would not have done in order to get conservative issues past?
 Oh yeah, his district isn’t Orange County only. It is most of Beaumont, all of Port Arthur, part of Nederland, most of Groves and Port Neches, Taylor’s Landing, Kirbyville, Jasper and so on. 

I say the same thing about the US House &  Senate
The “smart” ones leave with way more than they could make in the private sector. 

I take offense to that. I’ve been working pretty hard in my pickleball game. 

You said erect. 

What's worse is I heard Splendora scheduled their own homecoming during their bye week. 😂

You said it. 

Let's consider what a liberal and conservative politician (at least on the federal level) have in common for at a chance at agreement across the aisles... I'll start:
1. Dishonest
2. Self-serving
3. Corrupt
4. Manipulative
5. Hypocritical
6. Criminal
7. Supercilious
8. Think they're above the law

I’m familiar with that story and the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. I don’t  trust any of them and we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. But this is as ugly as I can recall.

Dude... It's ok to be wrong. I was once, I think. Let it go.

I didn't early vote because I haven't studied all of the candidates for ALL seats well enough to make an informed decision. It's hard to cut through all the BS to make an informed decision.

Wrong about keepin it going. Let it go...

You're not wrong.
 

From what I heard today, List has been narrowed down to 8 applicants. 4 interviewed today and 4 will be interviewed tomorrow. List will then be narrowed down to 4. These final 4 will then have one on one interviews with the sup & principal. 

You said erect. 

I guess I’m just not agreeing that if a head coach is “bad” then ALL his assistants are bad. 

I ask simply to point out that if "Good head coaches have good assistants..." and he has never been a head coach, then he most likely does not have a stable of good assistants.
