Looking at the details of the case, it is hardly black and white.
The "Stand Your Ground" law came into play with regard to self-defence.
“Stand your ground” just means that you have no duty to retreat before resorting to force. You still have to reasonably believe that the use of deadly force is immediately necessary to protect yourself from the other party’s use of deadly force against you in order for self defense to apply. |

Not surprised to see Lake is viewed as a joke even while Trump is winning comfortably. Absolute whack job.

FL is gone. Based on the rust belt polls from a few weeks ago this seems to confirm that the easiest path does in fact lie through those 3 states (MI/WI/PA)
Can't believe I am saying this but for the first time in the History of the United States of America
269-269 seems legitimately in play this November.
If Biden loses NE-2, I can't see him winning the rust belt trio.
270-268 would be massivly contested by Republicans. They would demand Recounts in NE-2, MI, PA, WI if that actually happens. |

Senator Rick Scott is cruising/sailing to Re-Election.
45 % though seems a little bit to low for my liking. If Trump is at 54 % in FL Scott is probably at 51 %. Scott isn't going to underperform Trump in FL by 9 Points.

Not a wrong call, per se, but the 1998 KY Senate race comes to mind.
CNN waited until 92% of the vote was counted before calling the race for Jim Bunning. Soon after, Scotty Baesler surged into the lead for practically the first time all night.
Bunning eventually won, though, so not a wrong call.

Crockett and Green both represent the worst of our government, and I'll throw in AOC, Ilhan Omar, Tlaib, Gaetz, and Boebert as well. This is one of the worst things to come out of the Trump era, and unfortunately has infected both sides of the aisle. Completely eschew dignity and professionalism and in favor of bombast, ad hominem attacks, and theatrics. Politics isn't supposed to be entertainment, it should be boring. Because actually getting things done is not exciting - it's heavily procedural and tedious. Unfortunately, certain members of government don't seem to be there to actually get anything done but rather make a name for themselves. They couldn't make it in show biz so instead they ran for office.
MTG is a trashy grifter who I still can't decide if she actually believes half the stuff she says or if it's just to grift the lowest common denominator of voters. Crockett, OTOH, is a very nasty, mean-spirited person with zero respect for decorum or decency and also is a butcherer of the English language. Watching the two of them go out it is like watching two s-l-u-t-s on a VH1 reality show get in a drunked brawl. They're both idiots and an embarrassment to their districts and need to GTFO of Washington and let the adults get back to governing.
I'll agree with this. It was worthy of booking a Steel Cage Match on WWE.
MTG is who she is. If she's not a racist, she acts in ways to allow people to think she is, and she always ends up doing something that's not helpful to more important causes.
Jasmine Crockett is a black woman who hates white people, and is allowed to pretty much let that show. She's not a "racist" in the sense that she thinks white people inferior to black people, but she hates white people as a group and pretty much lets it show. The same is true of the worst Squad members (Pressley, Bush, Omar); they hate white people, and they're not really trying to hide that. They, too, hurt their own causes, some of which have merit and could be advanced by reasonable compromises, but that's not in their nature.
This is the result of a "Resistance" mentality being the default response to problems. In a real sense, this is the only way the spreading of the "Resistance" mentality can turn out.
I totally agree. It’s really sad how many Democratic reps hate white people and how many Republicans are unfairly judged by people making assumptions about hatred in their hearts when that’s impossible to know. |
