    “If Trump and DeSantis both run…”

    That would be a tough decision. As a Florida resident, I think DeSantis is an outstanding Governor and I wouldn’t want to lose him. But assuming that he’s re-elected as Governor in 2022, then being elected as President in 2024 would only affect the last two years of his second term as Governor. He couldn’t serve a third consecutive term.

    I fully support Trump. I voted for him in 2020, and I would vote for him in the future. He’s was the best President the U.S. has had in a long time.

    But if the mobs of ignorant, irrational Trump-haters are keeping the Democrats in power, maybe Trump should step aside and turn the reins of the Republican party over to someone else who’s more palatable to the voters.

    “It is a democracy since people are the deciding factor as to which party should be in control.”

    Also, that assumes that elections are fair and impartial. That’s not the case when voters are not required to properly identify themselves as registered voters when casting ballots. That’s not the case when ballots are mass-mailed to the population and insufficient measures are taken to authenticate the ballots. And that’s not the case when millions of illegal aliens are dumped into the country and allowed to vote (which is the Democrats’ obvious goal).

    “It is a democracy since people are the deciding factor as to which party should be in control.”

    That presumes that people are free to express their opinions without fear of reprisal by the government and the mob.

    “This is how a democracy is supposed to work.”

    One party is using mainstream news organizations and social media to spread misinformation, suppress facts and opinions they don’t like, and intimidate people who disagree with them.

    That’s not how a democracy is supposed to work.

    @CTLAWYER

    Is there a limit to the number of times a Vice President can be elected?

    Hypothetical scenario:

    A person is elected as VP. Six months into his term, the President dies, and the VP becomes President for the remainder of the term.

    Then another candidate is elected as President along with the SAME Vice President. Again, the President dies after six months, and the VP becomes President again.

    Could that weird scenario repeat indefinitely (until the VP succumbs to old age)?

    I think you’ll find it was filthy treasonist Republicans who stormed the Capitol in the January 6th insurrection

    That was a direct result of the filthy treasonist Democrats who work in the Capitol aiding and abetting violent criminals in the streets all over the country, and teaching them to hate and rebel against law enforcement officers.

    First, it (a tarp) is good for light rain but don’t use it when heavy downpour is forecast since the water can “pool” and the weight will collapse your succah.

    Put one or more refreezable ice packs in the cooler, and wrap the tefillin bag in a thick, dry towel.

    I suppose you could put a thermometer in or next to the tefillin bag, ideally one that records the max temperature, and check it after it’s been in the hot car all day.

    Republican states gained House seats and electoral college representation whereas Democrat states overall lost.

    To be specific, the Red states gained three House seats and Electoral College votes, while the Blue states lost three. Hopefully that six seat/vote advantage will help the 2022 and 2024 elections put the nation back in the hands of the people who want to improve it, not destroy it.

    How was Hatzalah of Florida operating until now, before this new law?

    The bill wasn’t needed simply for Hatzalah to exist. The bill authorizes them to use flashing red lights and sirens on their vehicles and to respond to emergencies:

    Volunteer Ambulance Services: Authorizing certain medical staff of a volunteer ambulance service to use red lights on a privately owned vehicle under certain circumstances; authorizing vehicles of volunteer ambulance services to show or display red lights and operate emergency lights and sirens under certain circumstances; authorizing privately owned vehicles belonging to certain medical staff of a volunteer ambulance service to display or use red warning signals under certain circumstances; providing that county and municipal governments may not limit, prohibit, or prevent volunteer ambulance services from responding to emergencies or providing emergency medical services or transport within their respective jurisdictions, etc.

    … it still isn’t reparations, it’s to make them no different than Americans just like Americans receive unemployment (or even stimulus) so to illegals should get it too

    That’s like saying that people who are in prison should get the same privileges as everyone else. For example, other people have the privilege of not being in prison. Therefore, people in prison should be released from prison.

    Things happen in pressure situations. Why was he under arrest?

    “Authorities said the car was pulled over for having an expired registration and after determining the driver had an outstanding warrant, police said they tried to arrest him. The driver then re-entered the vehicle, and an officer fired, striking him, police said. The vehicle traveled several blocks before striking another vehicle. … Court records show Wright was being sought after failing to appear in court on charges that he fled from officers and possessed a gun without a permit during an encounter with Minneapolis police in June. In that case, a statement of probable cause said police got a call about a man waving a gun who was later identified as Wright.”

    In short, Chauvin’s defense attorneys will likely make a credible case, backed by evidence, that Floyd’s death was not caused by the knee on his neck but by the battered condition of his heart, …

    That may be true, but the prosecution has argued that the police have a responsibility to do all they can to keep a person in their custody healthy, especially if he’s restrained, i.e. in handcuffs.

    Of course, this whole mess wouldn’t have happened if the guy had simply cooperated with the police. And his resistance may have been due to the fact that half the politicians in the country have been aiding and abetting the BLM and “defund the police” lunatics, rather than encouraging people to respect law enforcement agencies.

    There wasn’t a video of him refusing to comply & resisting.

    The police body cam videos showed him resisting and screaming like an ape from the moment they first approached him, when he was in the driver’s seat of his own vehicle.

    Two or three officers spent several minutes trying to get him to sit in the back seat of their squad car. His lack of cooperation was why they eventually had to give up and put him on the ground.

    The issue is not that they had to use force. That was obviously necessary. The issue is that (according to the prosecution) three officers kept him face down on the ground, in handcuffs, too long. (The fourth officer at the scene was focused on keeping an angry group of spectators away.) And after he lost consciousness, they made no attempt to resuscitate him. It wasn’t until the ambulance arrived that he was turned over and put on the stretcher.

    I’ve been watching the trial.

    Multiple Minneapolis police supervisors have testified that placing a detainee in the prone (face-down) position on the ground, with his arms handcuffed behind his back, makes it hard for him to breathe, and that the detainee should be moved onto his side, or into a seated or standing position, as soon as possible. There’s also been testimony that all Minneapolis police officers, including Chauvin, know that through their training.

    And multiple police body cam videos show that the detainee was held in that prone, handcuffed position for nine minutes, even after he became unresponsive.

    The defense hasn’t started its case yet, though.
