A browncoat as president, how cool would that be? That said JO, we can't afford to split the vote this time. Next time buddy.

Browncoats aren't even willing to put their money into bringing back Firefly. If they are that poor, untalented and diffident, how could they run a country? You've got to remember that a Browncoat President will need thousands of Browncoat appointees to take charge of the US government. If the Browncoat President picks all Democrats or all Republicans to be his appointees (he'd have to, or else there would be chaos as the D's fought with the R's) it would be best if the Browncoat President was either a Democrat or a Republican. And pretty please, no "Independents" as appointees. That is the highway to chaos. You'd see that if you read the Firefly comics.
How much did each Game of Thrones season cost to make? About $10,000,000 per episode. Assume a Firefly episode would cost what a G.O.T. episode costs. If Browncoats cannot get enough money to do that, they certainly can't get the money to elect a President.

The 'Verse and America would be better without a Browncoat President. Pick a D or a R for President.

Quote:What is the definition of Browncoat? Somebody who watched Firefly one time then forgot it? In that case, it is possible a "Browncoat" could be President. But if you want an FDR or a Lincoln, you definitely don't want a Browncoat if that is defined as somebody who wants to break America into Alliance vs Independents. For that you want a Jefferson Davis. You'll find plenty of that type here at fff.net. As a matter of fact, America has tens of millions of that Davis type, who break things and can't or won't get anything to function.

Being a browncoat in my opinion is to self identify as one.

Quote:Is self identifying as a Browncoat like self identifying as a Democrat? In America, it pretty much means nothing. Those "Democrats" that either don't vote or decided in 2016 they would vote for the Green Party because Bernie wasn't the candidate are the same "Democrats" that gave Trump his victory. How do I know this? Trump got 46.1% of the vote. Hillary 48.2%. 5.7% for Green Party/Other. "Other" decided that Trump would win. Or maybe the 50% who didn't vote or didn't register are who really decided Trump would win. Trump was elected by a little more than a quarter of eligible voters.

Sorry two, I'm not going there with you. I can only speak for me. I'm a Browncoat at heart and an independent. Just as each topic is different from the next so is what makes me tick. I guess that's why I'm not an idolog.

Trump admits that Easy Voting would Defeat Republicans. That’s because they’ve made Their Base White and Evangelical
Trump admits in an interview on Fox News that a mail-in ballot program that made it possible for the public to vote with ease and increased turnout would keep Republicans from ever being elected again:
What has changed? What made Trump say it?
First, Hispanics are now 18 percent of the US population, up from about 6 percent in 1980. In order to win fairly, Republicans needed to gain a significant proportion of that vote. The Bushes knew this, and cultivated that constituency. George W. Bush typically attracted 40 percent of the Hispanic vote. But the dominance of Evangelicals and xenophobic southern and rural whites turned the party increasingly xenophobic and anti-immigrant. (Most Hispanic Americans are not immigrants, but many whites coded them that way). The increasingly vitriolic racism of the Tea Party and the Republican base against Hispanics drove some of them out of the party. Trump only got 28 percent of the Hispanic vote, very substantially off from Bush’s percentages. His favor-ability ratings by late last fall had further fallen among Hispanics to only 25 percent.
Second, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders now make up 6 percent of the US population, up from 1.6 percent in 1980. They now come to over 20 million people. Many were conservative and business-oriented and the old Republican Party had a shot at them. But the racism has also caused many of them to flee. They heavily now favor the Democrats and they really don’t like Trump.
And another thing: the proportion of whites in the population has fallen to only 60 percent from 75 percent in 2000. The number of counties that are majority non-white is rising. So since some significant proportion of whites vote Democratic, you can’t get elected just with what’s left of the white vote. Trump got in only because a few tens of thousands of traditionally Democratic whites in the Midwest switched to him because he said he’d bring jobs back from China and because there was a significant fall-off in the African-American vote, at least a point in Michigan, for instance.
So the lesson is that Republicans can now only win by poaching whites from the Democrats and by suppressing the minority vote.
They succeeded in 2016 (and the lackluster campaign of Hillary Clinton helped). But in the electoral college, Trump’s victory was by the skin of his teeth in three Midwestern states. The old saying attributed to circus impresario P. T. Barnum is that “A sucker is born every minute.” But the opinion polling in Michigan, at least, does not support the notion that white workers are likely to be suckered again.
So if Trump can’t steal some white Democrats this time, that really does leave only one hope, which is to find ways of preventing African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians from voting.
The Republican Party has obviously made some very bad choices. Gravitating to the Neo-Fascist Breitbart crowd, the nativist crazies, the rapidly declining evangelicals, and generally old white people has been stupid policy. But it is in many ways Nixon’s legacy. What worked in the 1980s may not work in the 2020s. And if the numbers are any indication, the Republicans could become a long-term minority in the near future, as they were from 1931 until 1952.
The arc of history may or may not bend toward justice but it sure as hell bends toward reality.

The Trump administration on Tuesday weakened one of the nation’s most aggressive efforts to combat climate change, releasing new and much worse fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, handing a victory to the oil and gas industry. BURN MORE FUEL! (at the request of Exxon)

Trump on Friday removed Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson -- who had told Congress about the whistleblower complaint that led to Trump's impeachment.
The White House

The Honorable Richard Burr
Chairman
Select Committee on Intelligence
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20515
The Honorable Mark R. Warner
Vice-Chairman
Select Committee on Intelligence
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Chairman Burr and Vice-Chairman Warner:
This is to advise that I am exercising my power as President to remove from office the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, effective 30 days from today.
It is extremely important that we promote the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of Federal programs and activities. The Inspectors General have a critical role in the achievement of these goals. As is the case with regard to other positions where I, as President, have the power of appointment, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, it is vital that I have the fullest confidence in the appointees serving as Inspectors General. That is no longer the case with regard to this Inspector General.
At a later date, I will be submitting to the Senate my nomination of an individual for this position who has my full confidence and who meets the appropriate qualifications.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump
Mitt Romney's speech on why he'll vote to convict Trump of abuse of power
The defense argues that the Senate should leave the impeachment decision to the voters. While that logic is appealing to our democratic instincts, it is inconsistent with the Constitution’s requirement that the Senate, not the voters, try the president. Hamilton explained that the Founders’ decision to invest senators with this obligation rather than leave it to voters was intended to minimize—to the extent possible—the partisan sentiments of the public.
This verdict is ours to render. The people will judge us for how well and faithfully we fulfilled our duty. The grave question the Constitution tasks senators to answer is whether the President committed an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a "high crime and misdemeanor.’
Yes. he did
The President asked a foreign government to investigate his political rival.
The President withheld vital military funds from that government to press it to do so.
The President delayed funds for an American ally at war with Russian invaders.
The President’s purpose was personal and political.
Accordingly, the President is guilty of an appalling abuse of the public trust.
What he did was not "perfect”— No, it was a flagrant assault on our electoral rights, our national security interests, and our fundamental values. Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one's oath of office that I can imagine.
