52. My original post was intended to be sarcasm in response to Mike Johnson's comments yesterday casting doubt

Tue Jun 9, 2026, 08:23 PM

Jun 9

on the primaries in California because their boy Spencer Pratt didn't make the cut for the LA mayoral race. JD Vance pretty much said the same. So for Republicans it's only a fair election if they win, otherwise the election must be rigged. Trump needs to learn about 'moot point' because he's been claiming the 2020 election was stolen for 6 years. Now he's got Todd Blanche at DoJ, and Bill Pulte managing 18 intelligence and security agencies, and I'm quite certain they'll get right on it.

It is incredible Edmond that we can disagree in one thread and completely agree mr715 Jun 9 #22
