That's according the former president's fractured understanding of the Constitution. He said that because a bipartisan group of lawmakers are working to reform the Electoral Count Act. 

According to Trump, "Actually, what they are saying, is that Mike Pence did have the right to change the outcome, and they now want to take that right away. Unfortunately, he didn't exercise that power, he could have overturned the Election!"

Interesting logic indeed considering if in fact the VP has that right why would "they" take it away from the current VP?

But we're talking about the same person saying "the January 6 rioters are being treated unfairly" and he would pardon them.

A dying father's regrets.

Why do anti-vaxxers even show up at hospitals when they get COVID?

Especially after saying they don't trust doctors, the science, or the vaccines.

Especially when getting vaccinated isn’t about politics. It’s about staying healthy & saving lives. "Our society is seriously messed up when politics plays a role in your decision not to get vaccinated". Even Trump said, "Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get (Covid), it's a very minor form. People aren't dying when they take the vaccine.", but many of his supporters turned on him for saying it. 

People have all sorts of reasons not to get vaccinated and I respect that, but there is no reason to spread false and/or misleading information.

Saw the story about tensions over wearing masks on the bench by Supreme Court Justices but though it was very unlikely that it was true. And according to the parties involved it wasn't true. It finally happened; NPR is now less reliable then the LP Blogs!

Why is Trump railing against vaccine equity efforts and saying white people are sent to 'back of the line'?

Because of all of his criminal investigations, doubt Trump spent enough time in NY State to see any "medical health lines". With about every pharmacy, med center, and doctor's office administering vaccines, it takes a very active imagination to create imaginary lines with racial discrimination. 

According to Trump, "In New York state, if you’re white, you have to go to the back of the line to get medical health." Is Trump for or against being vaccinated or it just more of his baseless ranting?

*shouldn't be necessary to mention, but those words with the blue line under them, is a link.

Kansas Senator Roger Marshall is a "moron", his staff is completely inept, or both. Apparently Marshall and/or his staff don't know federal law already requires Fauci to submit an annual financial disclosure report and those reports are publicly available. Took me about 5 seconds to download Fauci financial disclosure.

Being ignorant of Federal law is bad enough, but Marshall asked Fauci to give up his Rights under the Fifth Amendment.  Not saying it's just the Republicans in Congress, but in the last five years many of them said some pitifully stupid stuff. 

That's what Governor Jim Justice said last week, but today tested positive for COVID-19, enduring a high fever and extremely elevated blood pressure and heart rate. He is fully vaccinated so hopefully he will recover quickly. 

With such a deadly virus, mask mandates shouldn't even be necessary, but when they are put in place, some people will still violently argue against wearing a mask. And others, some including MAGA members of Congress will compare mask mandates to the Holocaust. 

When I read reviews of games added to state lotteries it reminds me of something President George HW Bush said:

"I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid. And my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States." George H. W. Bush

Saw where South Carolina and Virginia Lotteries are adding Cash Pop to their game repertoire and apparently some are saying things like "worst game ever" before they even held the very first drawing. Of course they are only opinions, but over time offering many opinions without much explanation can and does add up to questioning a poster's credibility. 

I have an option of playing 42 scratch-off type games, four minute Keno and purchasing tickets for 6 drawn games (pick-3, PB, MM, etc) Online. The scratch-off games have a "try" feature and I did "try" a few. Hardly ever buy scratch-offs at a store or out of a Kiosk so my opinion, pro or con has about the same effect as "I do not like broccoli" has on the people that love broccoli.

Really nothing to add.

and it's fueled by discontent with stances on vaccines and the Capitol riot. Trump did say he is "against mask and vaccine mandates", but he can't ride the fence by being for vaccinations and against mandates especially when many elected public officials are making mandates and saying ".832 million Americans died from covid". The total number of Americans cases is now 59.4 million. 

The red state primaries are going to be very interesting this year when many of them will have Trump backed candidates against mainstream Republicans. Then the real question becomes "will the losers' backers vote for the winner in November" or will they stay home?

The Jan 6 commission will play a huge role too.

Especially among the uneducated. A person has to be really stupid to suggest someone is "thin skinned" because they pointed out a rule that apparently either means nothing or is not being enforced. But hey we're talking about the people that can't stop talking about widespread election fraud with no proof. 

The logical fallacies I'm talking about are the very dangerous claims being made about getting a covid vaccinations. The FDA told the CDC to create the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System and to record all deaths of people that were vaccinated.  The anti-vaxxers are using that information hoping none their uneducated readers will get vaccinated. In other words they want people to think every death recorded was caused by vaccination. 

The primary objectives of VAERS are to:

• Detect new, unusual, or rare vaccine adverse events;
• Monitor increases in known adverse events;
• Identify potential patient risk factors for particular types of adverse events;
• Assess the safety of newly licensed vaccines;
• Determine and address possible reporting clusters (e.g., suspected localized [temporally or geographically] or product-/batch-/lot-specific adverse event reporting);
• Recognize persistent safe-use problems and administration errors;
• Provide a national safety monitoring system that extends to the entire general population for response to public health emergencies, such as a large-scale pandemic influenza vaccination program.

Ask any of anti-vaxxers how many people died of a direct result of being vaccinated and they will either lie or say nothing. As to why they are making it look like all recorded VAERS deaths are from vaccinations, ask them.

But according to the rules:

No personal attacks.Criticize ideas, not people.  Flaming will not be tolerated.  This includes any material which is vulgar, defamatory, inaccurate, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others' privacy, sexually-oriented, or violates any laws.

Don't know if that rule applies to blog entries and comments though noticed an blog entry was censored for mentioning a harmless synonym for an adult beverage. 

I don't make the rules nor am I complaining about how the rules are applied. Just saying if childish name calling is fine in Lottery Post Forums, the rules should be amended to reflect that.

the Biden election was certified by Congress and after a year of not only seeing courts dismiss almost every election fraud claim and many of the lawyers having their license suspended, some of Trump's Kool-Aid drinkers are still pretending they have "proof of widespread election fraud". Spreading false and misleading election information must be their hobby and while as useless as it is, some gullible people will believe it. 

Political false and misleading statements under the 1st Amendment umbrella is one thing, but potentially endangering the lives of gullible people is border line criminal. Still haven't read a logical reason for spreading vaccine misinformation or why it's necessary to tell people they won't be getting vaccinated. I heard people argue that Trump never said "Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get (Covid), it's a very minor form. People aren't dying when they take the vaccine" probably because their uneducated minds can't distinguish the difference of him being in favor of getting vaccinated and and against mandates. 

The last time I looked over 832 million Americans died from the virus so why anyone wants to chance that someone will take their bad vaccine advice is beyond logic. One of the resident anti-vaxxers only posted one day in the last three weeks and mentioned something about the reason being "day to day". I sure hope the reason isn't Covid. 

And not just carded; the clerk wanted to scan my "proof of age". I looked them right in their eyes and asked "do you really believe I'm not at least 18?". They said it was the "store policy" to check everyone so I said "no thanks" and went to another store without even asking why they wanted to scan my drivers licence to buy lottery tickets at the counter when I could get the same tickets at one of their two kiosk machines. 

Not worth arguing or questioning why because there are many other stores and most have a Kiosk machine. Heard clerks asking for ID for purchasing beer or cigarettes, but first time for wanting to scan my ID.
