I find it interesting that Biden rallied to that extent in Dearborn with the rest of the vote being 3,385 for Biden to 2,729 for Uncommitted. The percentages don't just flip at that rate, and usually just stay pretty close to the same % throughout the day. If it does change, it's gradual and wouldn't change that greatly.

You're too quick to assume foul play. It skewed heavily in part because none of the absentee ballots were in that early tally reported on the tv clip, and the absentee ballots didn't have as many Uncommitted voters.

It could also depend on which precincts were reporting first.

True, but it's still Dearborn.

Perhaps that's the case. Does MI count absentee ballots last? Many states count them first.

So it's just a coincidence that they recorded only the Muslim precincts? I suppose it is possible.

Biden's visit to the border is all for show. It's silly.

^ What does that tweet even mean? Biden tried to pass a bipartisan border bill that the border patrol union endorsed. The GOP blocked it. Now they want Biden to keep their name out of his mouth? What's their issue?

The Union leader was very critical of Biden and called all the problems at the border his fault.

Just the fact that you think voting is rigged shows you've taken the red pill. So great that Trump has convinced half the country that our voting is rigged even though it's been proven time and time again that it's not. This is not good for our democracy.

A tweet from a random guy with no cited source and no link? What do you know about natural gas? Do you have any idea whether this is accurate? And honestly do you really think Biden and the Dems are worse on knowing what sorts of fuels are best to use? Your party wants to just "drill baby drill" and burn coal and oil until the heat death of the universe. Most of your party won't even admit that climate change exists. Maybe sit this one out.

Michael Schellenberger isn't a random guy. I'm going to pass on your offer.

The US is producing more oil than any other country in history right at this moment. Republicans would have you think the opposite.

IMO it's a bad look for the Border Patrol Union to so openly criticize Biden. They should theoretically be willing to work with Presidents of both parties even if they don't 100% agree with each President's immigration policies. We're getting to a bad place where we have government employees who openly profess their desire to be part of a single political party and not work with the other party. The notion of nonpartisan civil servants is important to the stability of the country.

I agree with that. It's unfortunate that it has been so bad as to push the frustrations out in the open.

Why is Biden having a fence erected around the Capitol before his State of the Union address? This seems odd to me.
