Mid-Term Elections 2021

Since this thread was started by the Russian Troll, the title has read:
Mid-Term Elections 2021



So, what is this about? I am not all that familiar with the details of Russian Elections.

The State Duma is currently in it's 7th Convocation, since 2016. And expiring this year, when a new Election (in 2021) will be held for the 8th Convocation - to last another 5 years.

President was last elected in 2018, his term to expire in 2024. He was only legally allowed to run for re-election once, which was 2018, I guess.

So, that would seem to mean that this year, in 2021, is the Mid-Terms for Russia Elections.

Now it all makes more sense.



Does anybody know of any other nation which has "Mid-term" Elections in 2021?



Ted's not Russian. He's just stupid.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

Arizona GOP representative struggles to justify new voting restrictions

An Arizona Republican lawmaker on Friday defended a GOP-sponsored bill that would change the mail-in voting process by arguing that state lawmakers need to "correct problems" regardless of whether there was actual fraud in the 2020 election.

As he reemerges onto the public stage, Pence sticks to the same strategy he used by Trump’s side: Total fealty

COLUMBIA, S.C. —When former vice president Mike Pence reemerged for his first post-White House appearance at a convention center chicken dinner here Thursday night, he did not mention how then-President Donald Trump's supporters marauded through the Capitol on Jan. 6, threatening to hang him. Or that the president attacked him on Twitter for lacking "courage" as the Secret Service rushed him to safety that day. Or the criticism Trump has leveled toward his former No. 2 in recent weeks.

In fact, as Pence met privately with about 400 pastors in the cavernous First Baptist Church downtown and traveled across South Carolina, hobnobbing with and fundraising for Christian groups and conservative candidates, he spoke with an almost reverence about the former president.





History is going to remember Pence as the man with the brown stain on his pants. Too funny…

Democrats midterm prospects were in the toilet before any of that happened buddy.

Not only is that a historical fact for either side, but the Dems have gone way too far this time.

A brown stain on his pants? Are you implying that he dry humped naked butts?

It's called a brown nose. Like the one Obama had from getting his DEEP in all the ass cracks of hostile foreign leaders while he spent half of his presidency bowing to them.
