no thanks - most people don't remember he's former FBI director Christopher Wray's buddy. That's disqualifying in and of itself.
Chris Christie is reportedly weighing a third bid for the White House. The former New Jersey governor previously sought the Republican nomination in 2016 and 2024, winning zero states in either contest.

rereading another #bookmarked post, timely given the renewed interest in finding the Dobbs leaker...
Mary McCord's husband, Sheldon Snook, worked for Chief Justice Roberts. "After the Supreme Court launched a heavily publicized internal investigation into the leaking of the Dobbs decision (Alito opinion), something interesting happened.  Sheldon Snook left his position."

just reread Brown's post from Nov 15, 2024. Spot-on on so many of his points, #5 definitely. His "PS" post saying "Thune could become a legend"; sadly, he did but not in a good way.
Must read thread from Senate insider

this was posted on Election Day. I stand with my 'I don't believe the Statehouse will be able to keep her in check'. Ohio's GOP has lost their 'supermajority'. They'll need D help to override any vetoes, NOT gonna happen.
Ohio you got what you wished for, just remember that when it gets bumpy. She's not fit to be governor and I don't believe the Statehouse will be able to keep her in check.

2 yrs ago, Chuckles was telling the GOP they 'need to embrace bipartisan bills', I'm sure the Congressional Ds in 2027 will be doing the same. 🙃🙄🤨
hmm, Chuckles must have forgotten this back from last year (probably due to eating raw hamburger) - GOP needs to 'embrace "bipartisan" bills' but not the Ds)

sure Pete. If electoral college is scrapped, Texas, Cali, NY, Oregon, MI, NC will determine who is POTUS. In your words, it will become 'one voter's vote is greater than another voter's.' In other words, 6 states votes count more the other 44. So much for "state of democracy".
Mayor Pete has more thoughts on scrapping the Electoral College: "It's a matter of fundamental fairness." "I don't see how you get to the idea that any one voter should have a greater vote than another voter."

going to be interesting, GOP has had Gov (26 agencies), AG, Auditor (since 1995), Treasurer & SOS control since 2011. Only Auditor stays R meaning a ton of job openings to fill. Not a lot of 'pickings' from the D pool because of the GOP run.
