here we go again

Your Republic is based on democracy and theres only one party and one candidate that are threatening to ignore the democratic will of the Republic. Ironically they call themselves Republicans.

Perhaps you would agree that the safest way out is to take power away from ALL
of them, so as to reduce the wrongfulness to the masses, eh?

Ya. That's what I said long ago.

You're right about that if it's a close race. But if electoral votes for Trump goes over 300 (a distinct possibility) then it's game over.
The post election 'protesting' will probably be as bad (if not worse) than when Trump won four years ago, and downtown Portland imo will stop looking like a ghost town... it will look like a war zone.

Strange... I live about 10 mile ...[text shortened]... dn't know anything about rioting, looting, burning and physical attacks. No one here talks about it.

All of the votes must be counted before we KNOW the electoral count for any state, much less the country.

You guys F'ed this up by suing to stop states from being able to start counting mail-in ballots before Nov. 3rd.

Yes and if we are not careful we will lose our Republic as well.

Only by those like you willing to do anything to subvert it to their own ends.

I would not expect a wannabe Euro State person like you to get it.

The ultimate power in a democratic republic rests with the People. Limiting government's ability to deal with problems that the People want resolved is just another way for the elite to maintain control.

With the always existing caveat that no government should be able to violate individual Natural Rights even if a majority want them to.

Oh no, say it ain't so!

Whatever happened to instant gratification? You know that instant gratification is a right, right?
And if it's not in the constitution it SHOULD be... in the constitution.
Or bill of rights, because it's a right...

Right? 😮

There are some police that are deputized by the county sheriff to pursue perps
through border towns, yes. But for a local cop to cross state lines...? That is not common practice.

But either way, artful dodger, the local police are NOT under the jurisdiction of the Feds.

It is illegal to cross State lines to chase fugitives. If they have corrupted their own police, then you are looking at a State vs State war. For example, California gangs would be able to overpower local police in any of the little States nearby and have a good chance of intimidating their own police to look the other way e.g. Crips, Hells' Angels, Mara Salvatrucha-13. Or, in New York, the Mafia could do the same thing. You need the FBI with the power of RICO to stop organizations like this.

@AThousandYoung

That's nice. Didn't really contra what I had said.

And it is *still* the case that the feds do not oversee the local police, lest we forget the core of that subthread.

The Feds oversee any case that crosses State lines.

Yes, because when it goes interstate, it can be construed to be federal,
but the FBI does not come roaring in every time a speeding driver on I-95
crosses a state border in hot pursuit.

now, besides boring me to death, do you even know what you are trying to prove at this point?

the VAST number of criminal cases are in state jurisdiction, NOT federal. The feds have
the FBI for federal cases ONLY. Enough of your pointless lesson giving.
