    I believe allowing 10 million illegal immigrants unvetted to flood our country is an "insurrection" to which Biden is guilty, not yet proven but I and many "feel" that way. He should be struck from the ballot!

    The expression is pass muster, as in a military inspection, condiments have nothing to do with it.

    Wrong.

    The Freedom to Vote Act (formerly known as the For the People Act),[1] introduced as H.R. 1,[2] is a bill in the United States Congress[3] intended to expand voting rights, change campaign finance laws to reduce the influence of money in politics, ban partisan gerrymandering, and create new ethics rules for federal officeholders.[4][5][6][7]

    The act was originally introduced by John Sarbanes in 2019, on behalf of the newly elected Democratic majority in the United States House of Representatives as the first official legislation of the 116th United States Congress.[6][8] The House passed the bill on March 8, by a party-line vote of 234–193.[9][10] The bill was viewed as a "signature piece of legislation" from the Democratic House majority.[11] After the House passed the bill, it was blocked from receiving a vote by the then Republican-controlled Senate, under Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.[12][13]

    In 2021, in the 117th Congress, congressional Democrats reintroduced the act as H.R. 1 and S. 1.[14] On March 3, 2021, the bill passed the House of Representatives on a near party-line vote of 220–210, advancing to the Senate, which was split 50–50 between Democrats and Republicans (with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris holding the tie-breaking vote[15]), and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed to bring it to the floor for a vote. On June 22, 2021, a vote on the bill was held in the Senate. It received unified support from the Democratic caucus, but Senate Republicans blocked the bill with a filibuster, as it lacked the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture after a party-line vote.

    Believe that if you will. But the democrats knew before hand their bill was going nowhere. That it would be blocked. A brilliant PR move. Would the democrats have introduced this bill, this legislation if they knew it would pass, I don’t think so. The democrats want to gerrymander as much of the republicans do. They don’t want to give up their huge advantage in drawing maps in Illinois, California, New York, New Jersey etc as the republicans don’t want to give up their advantage in drawing maps in Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama and other red states where they hold a trifecta.

    I believe it because it is indisputable fact that Dems in the House passed a bill, twice, ending partisan gerrymandering. It was blocked, twice, by Senate Repubs.

    The dems don't need gerrymandering -- they are masters at sucking-up to blacks, Latinos, females, welfare queens, illegal aliens, corporate heads, and the queer groups.

    You do, I don't. But I'm a cynic from way back and don't trust either major party. When it comes to politics, one can never take it at face value.

    The MAGA strategy book was written by Pee Wee Herman.

    The pissy Trump worshippers never seem to grasp the reality that banning Trump from the GOP primary ballot is a Republican initiative.

    The diversity of America is clearly expressed by representational self-governance, and is embraced by the Democratic Party, no doubt.

    White supremacists demur.

    Why are the democrats afraid of Trump and are trying every trick they know to keep from allowing voters to choose Trump if they desire?

    I agree it is predictable. Idiocy breeds idiocy.
