When was the last time a republican presidential candidate garnered 50% or more of the national vote. Your kind is disappearing.

In presidential elections the GOP has only won a majority or plurality of the national vote one single time since the 1980s.

if you like the popular vote you should be thrilled with the fact the national vote favored our control of the House.....of course we all know the popular vote is irrelevant in the overall control of the House.......and the election of presidents........overall, you folks have only elected four presidents since Nixon......two destroyed the economy with uncontrolled inflation, one doubled the national debt and the fourth got impeached.....good job.....

Since Nixon: Only four Republican Presidents have been elected. One Republican President tripled the national debt. (Reagan) One Republican President took an annual surplus and turned it into a trillion dollar deficit in his last budget year, 286 billion surplus to a 1.4 trillion deficit. (GW) Another Republican managed to increase the debt by more than any other President while only in office for 4 years and is the only President since Nixon to lose jobs while President and he get impeached twice. (Trump)

71% are in favor of allowing gay marriage. PMP is an ignorant, hate filled douchebag. His opinion on anything is pretty much worthless. The downside of this is that it makes it easier for SCOTUS to do away with gay marriage protections, meaning states will still be able to outlaw gay marriage, and of course, many will. This bill simply forces them to recognize a marriage regardless of where it's performed. But we're going to see the same crap we see with abortion. Couples having to go to a different state to marry. Because of hate filled people like PMP.

Assuming someone brings a case before SCOTUS and gives them the opportunity to reverse themselves.

Not a very sterling track record, is it? Yet idiots keep voting for these clowns.

I think it will happen. The only question is whether it remains a constitutional right, which is a much narrower question than whether it should be legal. Two very different things.

They'll do like they did with abortion. 1) Pass a law making marriage only for one male/one female. 2) Fake same sex couple applies for marriage license, is denied. 3) Fake same sex couple files lawsuit challenging state law. 4) Challenge runs up the court food chain till it hits SCOTUS. Or, like they did with the phony praying football coach, they'll take it straight to SCOTUS and not bother with the lower courts.

Nah. It's an issue of liberty.

People are either for liberty, or against liberty. It's not a selective thing.

Some are for the liberty of the states to determine issues such as marriage and abortion. That does not mean they are against abortion or gay marriage.

The Senate on Tuesday approved legislation to codify protections for lawful same-sex and interracial marriages, marking a historic win for Democrats anxious to secure the rights amid growing concern that a conservative Supreme Court majority could take them away.


The Respect for Marriage Act had been largely expected to pass after it earned essential support from 12 Republicans during a key test vote just before Thanksgiving, putting it on a glide path to President Joe Biden's desk later this month. The bill next heads to the House, which is expected to vote on it next week -- as early as Tuesday -- before Biden signs it.

Codifying same-sex marriage into federal law became a top priority for Democrats in light of the Supreme Court's decision in June to overrule its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision guaranteeing a constitutional right to abortion nationwide.

Of course we should never mention the $7 trillion debt incurred by trump or the massive debt of GWB. Those minor accomplishments are to be forgotten!

Trump didn't actually have $7T and most of the debt he did have was fast tracking the vaccine and providing funds to the people you wouldn't let work....as to Bush's "massive debt"........Obama doubled it along with the cumulative debt of every other president we ever had......so I think we ought to mention it frequently, don't you?......

This bullshit wouldn't be necessary if people would accept and enforce the full faith and credit clause of the constitution

Yes, it was trumps debt. He did in four years what took Obama 8 years. A big chunk of that debt was the tax cut for wealth corporations and their stock holders.
