• Outrage

    From Jeff Thiele@1:387/26 to Aaron Thomas on Monday, June 13, 2022 14:25:46
    Is it obvious yet that virtually everything you're angry about isn't what you think it is? Why do you suppose that is?

    * New York does not have only one type of bail.
    * Sexual assault is not eligible for cashless bail in New York.
    * The scope of executive orders is limited to executive branch employees.
    * There is no evidence whatsoever that "leftists" tried to bribe Trump to keep some secret about COVID.
    * Nancy Pelosi did not forbid the deployment of the National Guard on 1/6.
    * There are black people in Texas, and they participate in politics.
    * Biden didn't say that white people are the greatest threat to America.
    * Biden didn't issue an executive order mandating COVID vaccinations for employees of all companies with more than 100 employees.

    And that's just from the last few days.

    Accept of course the narrative does not fit your liberal generalities.
    Then it's crickets...
    As I recall I have warned you in the early days of Biden Administration as I said then it was going to be a disaster, since we last have spared over this very subject.

    It gives no pleasure, to say that I was all this time. Just look all that has happened since we last spoke? It has been nothing short of a cluster_fu*k. Hasn't? Are you about to tell me that these "worst of times" has nothing to do with Joe Biden? Perhaps you will tell me that someone else is to blame.
    Well I guess, I'm just going to have to wait and see.

    That makes no sense.

    As I recall I have warned you in the early days of Biden Administration
    as I said then it was going to be a disaster, since we last have spared over this very subject.

    It's not perfect, but it's not nearly the disaster that the Trump administration was, especially in its waning days.

    It not nearly the "cluster_fu*k" that the previous administration was. The January 6 hearings are putting that on full display. And before you complain about partisanship, you should know that every witness testimony and every deposition video has featured Republicans. Every single one.

    They also utterly trashed your previous assertion that there was proof of widespread election fraud. Trump's family knew there was none, his aides knew there was none, his campaign knew there was none, his lawyers knew there was none, and Trump knew that there was none. The only people who thought such proof existed were Trump's supporters, because he lied to them and they believed him.

    That's been their Narrative since Day 1 of the Biden Regime. First it was blame it on Trump. Well, that wears after a while, especially since Trump was not in office anymore. Then they blamed Putin, later Ukraine.

    But that's normal for Lefties: Blame everyone/everything other than their repeatedly failed policies for the ills that they caused.

    If you expect Jeff to admit his error, you'll wait forever since Lefties will go to their graves insisting that they were right - no matter how much evidence to the contrary.

    If you expect Jeff to pin the blame on someone/something else, you won't wait long at all.

    The American people were given two choices: a ho-hum Democrat or a despotic wanna-be dictator. They chose wisely.

    Biden was the better choice. Maybe if Republicans had come up with someone better than Trump, things would be different. But they didn't.

    You are aware that the nation is hearing sworn testimony from multiple Trump advisors and appointees, right?

    I'm sure that they would allow Trump to testify as well, were he willing, unedited and on live television carried by multiple networks.

    Cheney didn't "doctor" any videos, any more than the highlight reel from a sporting event is a "doctored" video, and she certainly didn't edit anything
    to make it appear that someone said something they didn't say (a la James O'Keefe). The January 6 Committee has a lot of evidence to present to the American public, and limited time in which to do so. Of course they're not going to use that precious time airing multi-hour deposition recordings. They're focusing on the portions relevant to the topic at hand.

    To be honest, I don't have time to watch your tripe. The US Justice
    Department, Federal Courts, and state audits and investigations (whether governmental, independent, or wildly biased toward Trump) have found any evidence of widespread voter fraud. Mike Lindell has spent millions trying to find some, but has come up empty-handed at every turn. Trump himself has not been able to provide any such proof. And yet, we're to believe that Gregory Deyss has a treasure trove of such evidence? I think not.

    There is no record of Biden standing up to Putin, Xi Jinping or
    begging like dog to the Saudis to increase oil production.

    What do you call the extensive sanctions on Russia and Putin if not
    "standing up to Putin".

    You mean like Liz Cheney who was caught using a doctored video with selective audio from the Donald Trump's daughter
    to make her baseless
    claims.

    Proof?

    How is that proof of using a "doctored" video. It is a clip from her
    testimony before the Jan6 committee.

    More food for thought that Jan 6th was a setup at https://tinyurl.com/r6jbadmb

    That is an article that is full of false statements and bias.

    But on the issue of Trump's guilt she is correct.

    Guilt, what guilt?
    https://tinyurl.com/yuy5rkdv

    And that article is ten months out of date. It makes statements that
    are no longer true, e.g. that "no one has been charged with

    You're claiming that Biden has not stood up to Putin, but probably also blame Biden for the consequences of crippling sanctions on Russia.
    Yes Putin should be held personally responsible for his actions.
    Why should the Russian people have to be punished, and be made to struggle
    when they are innocent in this?

    That would be like holding you accountable and every other individual who
    can't read the writing on the wall that the Biden regime is very un-American.

    Also splendid job with intentional avoidance not answering the accusation that Spineless Biden has not stood up with strength to the Taliban or President Xi Jinping of China.

    That is demonstrably false, especially given the level of sanctions on Russia since the invasion of Ukraine.
    If Trump was still office Putin wouldn't of dared to invade Ukraine.
    Putin did so because he knows Biden is weak and therefore no threat.

    Explain what liberty you have lost under Trump.

    We almost lost our democracy.
    You're being overly dramatic on purpose, because you think it makes you sound smart. *OR* That is the first thing that popped into your head, and if that is the case.. That proves it, you are not as smart as you have thought.

    Trump broke laws, committed crimes, and attempted a coup. There is overwhelming evidence of that. Your videos are rubbish.
    Your response to the videos, is a matter of your opinion.
    It is obvious that it is not mine.

    Your not much a patriot if you do not believe in America First.

    There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
    Voter Fraud does not need to widespread to be considered voter fraud, it is voter fraud nonetheless, and therefore it is proof, and that is all that is required to be a called a fact.

    No, it isn't. Trying to hold onto power after losing an election is un-American. Not honoring our 230-year tradition of a peaceful transition of power is un-American. I don't think you know what it means to be an American.

    Also splendid job with intentional avoidance not answering the
    accusation that Spineless Biden has not stood up with strength to the Taliban or President Xi Jinping of China.

    We are done in Afghanistan. And what has Xi Jinping done that needs standing
    up to? Both Afghanistan and China are sovereign countries.

    That is demonstrably false, especially given the level of sanctions o Russia since the invasion of Ukraine.
    If Trump was still office Putin wouldn't of dared to invade Ukraine. Putin did so because he knows Biden is weak and therefore no threat.

    Actually, Biden wouldn't have invaed Ukraine because he knows Trump would do his bidding and veto any attempt for Ukraine to join NATO. Biden is not
    Putin's puppet, and would have allowed it.

    No, I'm not. Trump tried to subvert our democracy and remain in power after losing an election. That's about as un-American as it gets.

    Trump broke laws, committed crimes, and attempted a coup. There is overwhelming evidence of that. Your videos are rubbish.
    Your response to the videos, is a matter of your opinion.
    It is obvious that it is not mine.

    It is my response to the overwhelming evidence being presented. This week is the fourth hearing, which will feature Brad Rafensperger -- the Georgia Secretary of State, a Republican, and the official that Trump pressured to "find" 11,780 votes. Do you think the committee would waste time with his testimony if it was irrelevant to their investigation?

    The 2020 Georgia election was audited no less than three different times, and not the slightest evidence of widespread voter fraud was ever found.

    You continued belief in widespread election fraud in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary is delusional.

    They are the patriots that Trump supporters wish they were.
    Your not much a patriot if you do not believe in America First.

    "America First" is a racist policy. However, as far as prioritizing American interests goes, attempting to remain in power after losing an election is not putting America first. It goes against every belief that America was founded on. Trying to put the power to choose the next president into the hands of
    one man rather than into the hands of the people of the United States is not putting America first. It goes against every belief that America was founded on.

    There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
    Voter Fraud does not need to widespread to be considered voter fraud, it is voter fraud nonetheless, and therefore it is proof, and that is all that is required to be a called a fact.

    Sure there were small incidents of voter fraud, a significant number of them committed by Republicans, but none were even close to the scale needed to change the election results.

    There are many reasons for the refugee crisis. The fact that it existed well before Biden took office pretty much rules him out as a primary cause.

    That is how we hold leaders accountable, other than war. It's illegal to assassinate foreign leaders.

    JFK did in Diem (Vietnam).
    GWB did in Saddam Hussein (Iraq).

    There are other examples.

    Even though it may not be official policy not to assassinate
    foreign leaders, there are ways around it. Such as targeting the
    military command structure of a country during a time of conflict.
    If a foreign leader happens to be a part of that military command
    structure ...

    [..]

    You continued belief in widespread election fraud in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary is delusional.

    Are you calling the majority of Republicans in Congress delusional?
    Are you calling the majority of MAGA supporters delusional?
    Just because they believe every word Donald Trump tells them does
    not make them delusional. Or does it? I cannot honestly tell you,
    since I have never attended any of Trump's rallies. But he did
    make some speeches to joint sessions of Congress. So maybe all the
    members of Congress are delusional, which explains the actions of
    the J6 committee (those members being in a state of denial).

    is voter fraud nonetheless, and therefore it is proof, and that GD>is all
    that is required to be a called a fact.

    Sure there were small incidents of voter fraud, a significant number of them
    committed by Republicans, but none were even close to the scale needed to change the election results.

    RED LETTER DAY!

    Jeff T. finally admits Trump was right!

    There was voter fraud, just as Trump has been telling everybody
    all along! But not all those votes were counted, which is why he
    wanted to allow states ten more days to count *all* the ballots,
    and then re-certify those results. Which would have shown Donald
    Trump as the clear winner over his opponent.

    Now that you know The Truth, time for you to apologize to Trump.

    It gives no pleasure, to say that I was all this time. Just look all that has happened since we last spoke? It has been nothing short of a cluster_fu*k. Hasn't?

    (1) nothing is Biden's fault;

    (2) Per Biden, some of what we are going through is a great and painful transition towards Green Energy (which could be taken as "it is
    intentional";

    (3) Taking Biden's word for us being in a transition, it is not the administration's fault that they decided it was time to start this
    transition before the alternatives were proven and affordable enough;

    (4) According to at least one member of this echo, they are proven and affordable... which leaves out the "if you have lots of cash lying around,
    and are willing to possibly have to replace a $1000+ battery every 5 or so years, after the warranty has run out," meaning that the cars themselves might be proven but the battery tech is still not as reliable as what we have now;

    this administration's energy policies, and printing of more and more money, have also been causes of the inflation crisis. Administration policy is also the ONE part of the WHOLE equation that CAN be changed/controlled... but it
    is not the fault of Biden, or his administration, that this is being overlooked. Administration policy is not their responsibility, I guess???

    Hello Jeff,

    There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
    Trump says there is. And his legion of MAGA followers believe him.
    That's all that counts. So please. Get with the program.

    The irony is, Trump's supporters have been the ones suffering from "TDS" all
    along. Some are starting to realize it, some are still oblivious.

    I was having a discussion with two die-hard Trumpsters last night.
    Both of them believe The Big Lie as Gospel Truth. Nothing could be
    said, or shown, to dissuade them from their view. When I reminded
    them the courts ruled against him, as no evidence could be shown,
    they both said that was because Democrats had rigged it so that
    votes cast for Trump remained uncounted, and the judges who ruled
    on those cases were liberals appointed by Clinton and/or Obama.

    There is one thing I have learned from experience. Actually two
    things. One is never argue with a Trumpster. The other is never
    argue with a woman. And two women, at the same time? I might be
    crazy, but I'm not that crazy!

    On 19 Jun 2022, Mike Powell said the following...
    It gives no pleasure, to say that I was all this time. Just look al that has happened since we last spoke? It has been nothing short of cluster_fu*k. Hasn't?
    (1) nothing is Biden's fault;

    And not everything is Biden's fault.

    (2) Per Biden, some of what we are going through is a great and painful transition towards Green Energy (which could be taken as "it is intentional";

    Partially, yes. Part of it is global geopolitics.

    (3) Taking Biden's word for us being in a transition, it is not the administration's fault that they decided it was time to start this transition before the alternatives were proven and affordable enough;

    In fact, most of it is geopolitical.

    (4) According to at least one member of this echo, they are proven and affordable... which leaves out the "if you have lots of cash lying
    around, and are willing to possibly have to replace a $1000+ battery
    every 5 or so years, after the warranty has run out," meaning that the cars themselves might be proven but the battery tech is still not as reliable as what we have now;

    The transition will not be happening overnight, but we need to get on it and take it seriously.

    (5) You won't hear that this transition is more painful for lower income Americans, but you might hear that we should have stronger social
    programs so that they don't need cars to get to jobs they also shouldn't need;

    Aren't most transitions? That's no reason to halt progress. And yes, we need
    to offset the adverse effects on lower income Americans by offering them financial assistance.

    (6) You might also get drawn down a philosophical rabbit hole regarding the "social programs" and "needing jobs" part of #5 that will totally derail any conversation about how the transition is more painful for the lower class. Either that, or you will be told that "Republicans/conservatives" don't care about the lower class so you
    should not, either.

    The transition is necessary, but will not happen overnight. High gasoline prices are unrelated to the transition and are being caused by goepolitics.

    There is indeed a mix of "Ukraine War" and "COVID-19" and whatever else will be mixed in, but there will be a 100% total ignoring of the fact
    that this administration's energy policies, and printing of more and

    Hello Bj”rn,

    Every day they get one day older. Quite a few of them are of an age
    that they don't have all that many days left.

    LOL! And there's no reason to believe that they'll get any wiser by age? Some of us actually think that we do so (I'm soon to be 74)... :-)

    You don't understand. Not really your fault. Even though you are
    from Sweden, and have spent a significant amount of time in Florida,
    you still don't understand.

    While there does remain hope for some in Florida and other parts of
    the USA, there is no hope for anybody from Texas. Here's why -

    Joe Biden recieved 7 million more votes than Donald Trump.
    Joe Biden also received 306 electoral votes from the Electoral
    College - more than the 270 needed to win.

    None of that mattered to Republicans in Texas, who formally voted
    in a state-wide convention this weekend on a party platform that calls homosexuality an "abnormal lifestyle choice" - thus denying Log Cabin Republicans in Houston a booth at the convention, or to participate
    in their convention.

    This homophobic group of Republicans then went on to main event -

    "We reject the certified results of the 2020 presidential election,
    and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States."
    - resolution passed unanimously by a voice vote at the convention

    That is the official resolution of Republican Texas State Party.

    According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, two-thirds of Republicans
    nationally believe the 2020 presidential election was stolen from
    Trump. So please. Do not blame it all on Texas, just because Jeff
    lives there.

    Hello Jeff,

    Yes Putin should be held personally responsible for his
    actions.
    Why should the Russian people have to be punished, and be made
    to
    struggle when they are innocent in this?
    That is how we hold leaders accountable, other than war. It's
    illegal
    assassinate foreign leaders.
    JFK did in Diem (Vietnam).
    GWB did in Saddam Hussein (Iraq).

    I'm not sure about Vietnam,

    I know the daughter of a former president of Vietnam.
    Both she and her father were there at the time.

    https://millercenter.org/the-presidency/educational-resources/diem-coup


    Eighteen days after JFK recorded his thoughts on the Diem matter,
    he was silenced by an assassin in Dallas, Texas.

    No evidence to date has ever been revealed by our government to
    support the contention that Lee Harvey Oswald had anything to do
    with it.

    And thanks to live television coverage, we all know what happened
    to Oswald (who was never charged with JFK's murder) inside the Dallas
    police station ...

    but Saddam Hussein was tried and executed by the
    interim Iraqi government, not the United States.

    A Shiite hit squad, hand-picked by the US military.

    What do you call the extensive sanctions on Russia and Putin if not "standing up to Putin".

    Sanctions extensive or otherwise, do you really believe that Putin is suffering or do you believe that the citizens of Russia is where the
    real suffering is.

    Actually, I do believe that Putin is suffering, albeit not as much as his oligarchs or the citizens of Russia.

    And that article is ten months out of date. It makes statements that
    are no longer true, e.g. that "no one has been charged with
    insurrection". There have now been multiple convictions for seditious conspiracy.

    One is innocent until proven Guilty.

    That is true. And as I said "convictions" so they are no longer
    innocent. Also there are some of those closest to Trump who are
    admitting guilt by asking for a pardon.

    Sorry Dale this also goes for the Donald Trump too.

    Yes it does, but his time may yet come.

    There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

    Voter Fraud does not need to widespread to be considered voter fraud,
    it is voter fraud nonetheless, and therefore it is proof, and that is
    all that is required to be a called a fact.

    It does have to be widespread to have any impact on the elections. In
    the 2020 election, there have been a few isolated proven cases of voter
    fraud. Would you care to guess how many and what party they voted for?

    It is also un-American to steal election, if it is *someday* comes to be

    Do let me count the ways, He is weak on foreign policy.
    How you ask? Were you at all aware that spineless biden is rolling back the Trump Tariff's on China. Please explain how that will benefit our country?

    Also splendid job with intentional avoidance not answering the accusation that Spineless Biden has not stood up with strength to the Taliban or President Xi Jinping of China.

    We are done in Afghanistan. And what has Xi Jinping done that needs standing up to? Both Afghanistan and China are sovereign countries.
    Yup we sure are done with Afghanistan along with all that equipment that was left behind in this oversize catbox.

    about them either. The United States of America is also a sovereign nation and yet Hordes of illegals continue to flow into our country, but that's ok right? Want to come to America? Great ! Do it legally. I have no issue with legal immigration whatsoever.

    That is demonstrably false, especially given the level of sancti Russia since the invasion of Ukraine.
    If Trump was still office Putin wouldn't of dared to invade Ukraine. Putin did so because he knows Biden is weak and therefore no threat.

    Actually, Biden wouldn't have invaed Ukraine because he knows Trump
    would do his bidding and veto any attempt for Ukraine to join NATO.
    Biden is not Putin's puppet, and would have allowed it.
    ? I do believe your having a Biden Gaffee moment there Jeff.

    I think Ukraine should be in NATO... Why not..
    I do understand why Putin would have an issue with that because then world would end him if he invaded a NATO country.

    Trump broke laws, committed crimes, and attempted a coup. There overwhelming evidence of that. Your videos are rubbish.
    Your response to the videos, is a matter of your opinion.
    It is obvious that it is not mine.
    You know what this *circus* is actually all about?
    It is not as it appears to be on the surface, not even close.
    I will tell you once again I have transcript of Trump's words from that day of January 6th and there is nothing in that transcript whatsoever that comes
    close to being slightly incorrect or anything else that is considered what you would call icing on the cake. It's just a bunch of nasty allegations and other tripe made up by sycophants of the democratic party and some of those are Republicans (as you have pointed out with eagerness.) These so called Republicans are taking a big risk. They have forgotten on which side their bread is buttered. Majority of this noise is coming from the dems and no real surprise the leftwing media or what Rush used to call the "drive by media".

    What this is essentially. In short is: Theater....
    It is all about changing the minds of the American People about Trump, make
    him appear sinister and evil so that there is no way it will be possible or
    to make it extremely difficult for Donald John Trump to be able to run again for the Presidency in 2024. Thats what this all is.
    As I said it is a big risk because if Trump is Triumphant, you and your party will be over for a long long time.

    It is my response to the overwhelming evidence being presented. This
    week is the fourth hearing, which will feature Brad Rafensperger -- the Georgia Secretary of State, a Republican, and the official that Trump pressured to "find" 11,780 votes. Do you think the committee would waste time with his testimony if it was irrelevant to their investigation?
    Sure why not just look at the length of time and the multiple millions that
    the American Taxpayer paid, last time there was a witch-hunt. Only to end with an acquittal. So no they will not stop even when logic suggests to do otherwise.

    They are the patriots that Trump supporters wish they were.
    Your not much a patriot if you do not believe in America First.

    "America First" is a racist policy.
    If you believe that America First was racist, then I would recommend that you pick up a book proverbially not from Karl Marx.
    It would also be a great idea to pick up a dictionary.

    No, it is about holding Trump accountable for his crimes. No one is above the law. Trump was, temporarily, because it was decided that a sitting president cannot be indicted. But now that Trump is no longer a sitting president, he most definitely needs to be held accountable.

    As I said it is a big risk because if Trump is Triumphant, you and your party will be over for a long long time.

    58% of Americans currently think that Trump should be prosecuted. That
    includes 19% of Republicans. That may not sound like much, but it's one in
    five Republicans. Statistically speaking, one in five of your Republican friends thinks Trump should be prosecuted.

    It is my response to the overwhelming evidence being presented. This week is the fourth hearing, which will feature Brad Rafensperger -- th Georgia Secretary of State, a Republican, and the official that Trump pressured to "find" 11,780 votes. Do you think the committee would was time with his testimony if it was irrelevant to their investigation?
    Sure why not just look at the length of time and the multiple millions that the American Taxpayer paid, last time there was a witch-hunt. Only
    to end with an acquittal. So no they will not stop even when logic suggests to do otherwise.

    Trump's impeachments were not criminal trials; they were political. *Those* were theater. This is much, much different. Given the evidence uncovered so far, logic most definitely does not suggest to do otherwise.

    They are the patriots that Trump supporters wish they were.
    Your not much a patriot if you do not believe in America First.
    "America First" is a racist policy.
    If you believe that America First was racist, then I would recommend
    that you pick up a book proverbially not from Karl Marx.

    "America First" has always had racist undertones, especially concerning immigration. That has absolutely nothing to do with Karl Marx.

    It would also be a great idea to pick up a dictionary.

    I know what those two words mean, but I also know that the two of them
    together have a connotation that is more that the sum of its parts. And you know it, too.

    Is this the "evidence" you have?

    Surely you know that the population of the US isn't evenly distributed,
    right? There are densely populated cities that contain millions of people,
    and there are sparsely populated counties that contain just a few hunderd people. More sparsely-populated areas tend to vote Republican, and more densely-populated areas tend to vote Democrat.

    You can't tell who won by looking at colors on a map. But you knew that
    right? I mean, surely you're not that ignorant, right? Surely you're not that -- ahem == misinformed, right?

    It does have to be widespread to have any impact on the elections. In
    the 2020 election, there have been a few isolated proven cases of voter fraud. Would you care to guess how many and what party they voted for?

    It's no mystery, take a look at the map of red vs blue and you have
    your answer. There is a helluva lot more Red then Blue which is where
    the misinformed reside.

    That is a complete non answer, except that you seem to be implying that
    the Red state voters are misinformed.

    Since you seem not to know the (or don't want to know) the answer, I
    will give you some info to educate you. It was easily found with a web
    search. The summary is that the amount of fraud discovered
    A. could not have effect on any election and
    B. was mostly by Trump voters.

    Here is the quoted article:

    A team of Associated Press reporters spent months reviewing every
    possible voter fraud case in six battleground states disputed by former President Donald Trump, and they found "fewer than 475 " a number that
    would have made no difference in the 2020 presidential election," AP
    reports. The disputed ballots identified in more than 300 local election offices amounted to just 0.15 percent of President Biden's margin of
    victory in the six states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada,
    Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

    "The cases could not throw the outcome into question even if all the potentially fraudulent votes were for Biden, which they were not, and
    even if those ballots were actually counted, which in most cases they
    were not," AP reports. "The cases are bipartisan. Some of those charged
    with fraud are registered Republicans or told investigators they were supporters of Trump." In fact, every specific case written up in the AP
    report involved a Trump supporter voting twice or casing a ballot
    illegally.

    Three apparent Trump supporters were recently arrested in Florida and
    charged with casting more than one vote, The Washington Post reports.
    The three residents of The Villages are charged with having voted in
    Florida and also another state, Michigan, New York, and an undisclosed
    state, the Post says, and they were arrested after the county elections supervisor ordered an investigation.

    All these cases "underscore that suspected fraud is both generally
    detected and exceptionally rare," AP reports, but "Trump's false claims
    of a stolen election fueled the deadly Jan. 6 attempted insurrection at
    the Capitol, have led to death threats against election officials, and
    have become deeply ingrained within the GOP, with two-thirds of
    Republicans believing Biden's election is illegitimate."

    Sending out ballots and receiving ballots are two different things. If some voters have the right to mail in their ballots, why shouldn't all voters have that right?

    Joe Biden received 7 million more votes than Donald Trump.
    Joe Biden also received 306 electoral votes from the Electoral
    College, more than the 270 needed to win.

    On January 6, 2021 a joint session of Congress was held in
    order to certify the results. 147 Republicans (the majority
    of the Republican members of Congress), refused to accept
    the votes of the American people and attempted to overthrow
    the elected government of the United States of America.

    On that very same day, Donald Trump had asked his stooge
    to deliver the goods, as he was an integral part of the plan.
    But for some unknown and unexplainable reason, his stooge
    got cold feet and chose to do his Constitutional duty instead.

    But that's okay. All has been forgiven. 2020 was just a dry
    run for the main event, now scheduled for 2024.

    The MAGA crowd is now replacing secretary of states across
    the land, thus ensuring that no more stolen elections will ever
    deny Donald Trump from winning an election ever again.

    His new vice president Sarah Palin will see to that.

    COVID is still a threat, although a manageable one if enough people are vaccinated. The more that are vaccinated, the mor emanageable, but we have to take what we can get.

    Sending out ballots and receiving ballots are two different things. I some voters have the right to mail in their ballots, why shouldn't al voters have that right?
    Fine, but why make those changes in 2020 and not in 2019 or 2018? (Hint: We needed to remove a certain somebody in 2020!)

    We were in the middle of a pandemic in 2020.

    Every American should have had a nerve hit when Trump tried to s election.

    What if Trump is Triumphant, then what?

    After two previous acquittals of phony investigations, that were nothing more then witch-hunts... Who would you bet on? Yeah I will bet it all on Red 45.

    what evidence are you referring to Jeff? The fact of the matter is as
    follows: There is NO evidence that is not being fabricated by the Democrats. Why would they do this you ask...to prevent Trump from running in 2024 because they know that if he runs he WILL win and they will be in deep shit. they are already in danger of losing control of congress and when they lose control of the whitehouse it will be all over.

    Nope, Nevada did not accept in-person ballots after election day.

    COVID is still a threat, although a manageable one if enough people a vaccinated. The more that are vaccinated, the mor emanageable, but we have to take what we can get.
    Trump left the covid engineers with no choice but to unleash it. (Technically, covid really was Trump's fault.)

    There is no evidence of "COVID engineers."

    Who do you actually believe is paying for those tariffs? Hint: it sure as hell is not China. It's you, the usual sheep, that so *love* to be robbed over and over again!

    The only ones that benefit from it are the big corporations and their billionaire share holders, because that gives them the opportunity to surpass the Rules of the Free Market. The alleged cornerstone of US capitalism. DUH!

    Of course the legal term is called an acquittal.

    Exoneration and acquittal are not the same thing.

    BINGO!

    Monica's blue dress (with the stain) was in the evidence room
    for all to see, but none of the Senators bothered to take a look.

    And there indeed was a Russia scandal exposed by the Mueller report.

    You do realize Melania once played the part of the first female
    President of the United States in her previous life in Slovakia ...

    You did mention African Americans. That said, pointing out that they often vote Democrat seems to be supported by numbers. Pointing out that they often don't get what they are promised is also fact.

    Implying that black people are the reason Republicans can't win urban areas
    is, though. There are plenty of people of all colors in urban areas that vote Democrat.

    I don't see anything racist here, but a Democrat who does not like that you pointed it out sure would.

    For that matter, if that is true, why are there Black Republicans and conservatives, some of which even run for and hold public office? They are not stupid people. Most of them are better educated and well-spoken than anyone in this echo, and moreso than either of our recent

    the ignorant (and by ignorant I mean anyone who believes Biden is a president as well as any lib-tard) choose to ignore the FACT that s Biden has taken office, Gas prices have reached a higher point than ever, Inflation is at an all time high,
    That is true around the globe.
    But not like it is here. See Japan, Germany, Canada, and several other developed countries. Our rate of inflation is higher than theirs, and is staggering compared to Japan's.

    Japan appears to be an outlier, as do Venezuela and Argentina. You can compare different countries' inflation rates here: https://www.ft.com/content/088d3368-bb8b-4ff3-9df7-a7680d4d81b2

    There are quite a few countries, including the US, that are hovering around
    6%. Some countries are handling it better, some worse, but it's far from just
    a US problem. Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from those countries
    doing better than us.

    Joe makes caucasians -sound- like they are dangerous, when statistically they are not.

    A subset of them -- white supremacists -- are dangerous, and that's exactly what Biden said.

    Nancy & Chuck make caucasians -look- dangerous by inviting
    the January 6 attack.

    Pelosi and Schumer did not "invite" the January 6 attack.

    They also make caucasians -look- stupid by going
    to a "George Floyd vigil" wearing Kente cloth. (Like we think all black people are from the same tribe!)

    People are allowed to express themselves through their clothing.

    It's only natural though. Had he said "the greatest threat is bl supremacy" then all black people who I'm unfamiliar with would b suspects to me.
    I don't doubt it. That's your racism showing its ugly head.
    No, that's an example of the kind of things that can result when the president colludes with the secretary of homeland security in pitching a narrative that distracts from bigger problems that those same people caused together.

    White supremacists do pose a major threat in this country. There is no "narratice" being "pitched;" it's a fact.

    But for some reason you seem to be very offended and victimized by Biden's calling out of a group that you claim to not be associated with. Interesting.

    were murdering people then we'd hear about it, and we're not hearing
    about it.

We lack election integrity, and we separate children from their fathers, but we've got freedom of religion and freedom of speech 60% of the time and that's pretty swell compared to other developed nations.

    Trump handled the pandemic badly. From asserting that it was a "hoax" to downplaying its severity to announcing arbitrary deadlines for a virus to exit our bodies to starting a feud with Fauci when Fauci disagreed with Trump's decidedly non-scientific advice to the American people, he
    handled it very, very badly.

    Isn't there more to it than that? He handled the pandemic badly with a bunch
    of words that spewed from his mouth? How about his actions/inactions?
    Democrats are downplaying the seriousness of covid as we speak, because they want people to feel like Biden cured covid ahead of election day.

    Sending out ballots and receiving ballots are two different things. If some voters have the right to mail in their ballots, why shouldn't all voters have that right?

    Fine, but why make those changes in 2020 and not in 2019 or 2018? (Hint: We needed to remove a certain somebody in 2020!)

    Accepting mail-in ballots after election day (provided that they had an appropriate postmark) is not illegal, and it does not mean that the polls were open after election day.

    Fox News said that Nevada was still taking in-person ballots for 10 days after election day. It had nothing to do with mail-in ballots or covid.

    COVID is still a threat, although a manageable one if enough people are vaccinated. The more that are vaccinated, the mor emanageable, but we
    have to take what we can get.

    Trump left the covid engineers with no choice but to unleash it. (Technically, covid really was Trump's fault.)

    We were in the middle of a pandemic in 2020.

    It seems like the virus was engineered for Trump removal purposes, and it worked.

    Biden never said that.

    When the president tells the nation "the greatest threat is white supremacy," then non-whites hear that as "white people."

    It's only natural though. Had he said "the greatest threat is black supremacy" then all black people who I'm unfamiliar with would be suspects to me.

    No, they don't. If you're so sure that they do, why do you feel the need to misquote him?

    Joe makes caucasians -sound- like they are dangerous, when statistically they are not. Nancy & Chuck make caucasians -look- dangerous by inviting the
    January 6 attack. They also make caucasians -look- stupid by going to a
    "George Floyd vigil" wearing Kente cloth. (Like we think all black people are from the same tribe!)

    It's only natural though. Had he said "the greatest threat is black supremacy" then all black people who I'm unfamiliar with would be suspects to me.

    I don't doubt it. That's your racism showing its ugly head.

    No, that's an example of the kind of things that can result when the president colludes with the secretary of homeland security in pitching a narrative that distracts from bigger problems that those same people caused together.

    There's no evidence that there's COV-19 engineers, but there's evidence that there are other SARS engineers.

    "Domestic terrorism from white supremacists is the most lethal threat in the homeland. We cannot and must not give hate any safe harbor." -- President Biden

    Exactly. You were misquoting it to twist it into "Joe's addressing danger,"
    but he's not addressing real dangers. If white supremacists were murdering people then we'd hear about it, and we're not hearing about it.

    Plus Joe is totally "giving hate safe harbor."

    "addressed" lol he doesn't address anything except George Soros talki points

    Evidence?

    Everything Joe does or says is on the Soros agenda. They see eye to eye more than Joe sees eye to eye with the American people. An example is Joe's executive order which takes rights away from federal police. George wants Joe to cripple the police, and Joe obeys George's orders.

    Congratulations that the "vast majority" of Fauci colleagues echo his BS. That doesn't disqualify what the others have said about "the virus appears to have been intentionally modified." People suspected it before this news was published, and Fauci's dissenters confirmed it for us. The media (people like you) want to cherry pick our science for us, but I'm sorry to tell you that "the vast majority" of Americans aren't as dumb as your people had hoped.

    Indeed it is.

    What Chuck & Nancy did is worse than wearing blackface.

    And most funerals are public events that do not require an invitation.

    Funerals are campaign stops for scumbags like Joe Biden. Has he been to any brown people funerals from the Uvalde disaster?

    We are hearing about it. What do you think happened at the supermarket in Buffalo, or the Wal-Mart in El Paso?

    He's white, he's racist, he killed people, but he's mentally ill, and he was a lone wolf. It doesn't match Joe & Alejandro's idiotic "white supremacy" slogan.

    Plus Joe is totally "giving hate safe harbor."

    In what way?

    He's segregating people by saying "white supremacy is our biggest threat."
    Only an idiot who watches the news too much and doesn't go outside to see reality enough will fall for Joe's crap. You'd be better off trying to defend AOC than Joe Biden. Give it a try! She's a smart lady!

    George funded Joe Biden, and Joe punished federal police officers. George funded Chesa Boudin and Alvin Bragg, and they are dropping the charges for all of Obama's sons.

    Do you have evidence to support this hypothesis? No, of course you don't, you're making it up because you've been brainwashed to believe that scientists are "evil".

    Nuclear fallout is a threat. Maybe we should mutate nuclear disasters so that way we can study it and prevent it from hurting people?

    As of right now there appears to be very little evidence supporting that hypotheses. There is an investigation, not sure if much has been found yet.

    Investigate my butt. Dr Fauci's associates (some) concluded that COVID-19 appears to have been mutated in a laboratory, Fauci threatened to ruin their careers for dissenting, and it's all been documented. But defenders of the agenda will say "appears to be very little evidence.." because you guys are brainwashed into agreeing with Fauci.

    The Democrats chose to wear Ashanti kente cloth. The Ashanti tribe shares similarties with Democrat culture; they are born into wealth, and they traded slaves for other goods. PERFECT for reflecting their own beliefs, but also cultural appropriation; not all Africans support slavery like Jeff's friends do.

    Not sure about this, but I did read where a Soros-backed DA on the West Coast (SF?) got recalled because he was too-soft on criminals. That
    means there were enough people fed up with him to circulate a petition
    to get the recall on a ballot, and enough people to vote in favor of it
    to make it happen. Since it happened on the West Coast, he must have
    been really, really bad.

    News articles suggest that George Soros is supporting he campaigns of these liberal DAs (Bragg, Boudin, etc) because of their soft on crime beliefs.
    Notice how the president (who also takes generous campaign donations from Soros) has nothing bad to say about any of that crap.

Jeff's not disputing that there were differences of opinion, he just said "the vast majority" <of Fauci's NIH colleagues> agree with Fauci.

    Dr. Robert Redfield (fmr CDC director) holds the opinion that covid was
    created in a Chinese lab, to which Fauci responded "that's his

    have never received anything of significance, what they have been promised w/ a better way of life by the dems,
    less crime, better schools, more opportunities for employment - what
    might be the cotton candy flavor of the moment but it never seems to
    come to fruition, and yet they continue to vote democratic.

    It's all because the black people, isn't it? Didn't have to wait long for the racism to come out, did we?
    I never mentioned the word "black people" but since you brought it up.

    You did mention African Americans. That said, pointing out that they often vote Democrat seems to be supported by numbers. Pointing out that they
    often don't get what they are promised is also fact.

    I don't see anything racist here, but a Democrat who does not like that you pointed it out sure would.

    Fauci's colleagues have not said that COVID seems to have been born in a lab; in fact they say the opposite, and Fauci agrees with them.

    The part that makes the "COVID = weapon" believeable to some is not so far fetched. We have discussed before that:

    (1) the US government participates in and/or funds gain-of-function research into viruses and bacteria;
    (2) they do so with the stated goal being to come up with antidotes,
    vaccines, etc., that would be of benefit should an attack or pandemic take place;
    (3) other countries also do this;
    (4) some of the US-funded/assisted research happens in these other countries; (5) some of these other countries are not places that many Americans
    believe should be trusted with conducting such research, i.e. that could possibly use the research beyond the stated goal above and create biological weapons with what they find.

    That is not too far fetched, and history does contain evidence that it does happen. While there is no evidence that the US government was ever involved
    in assisting Nazi Germany in such a way, the Nazis did indeed have gain-of-function labs whose stated purpose was to create antidotes and
    vaccines in the event that a biological attack should take place against Germany or their troops. At least, that is what everyone (including
    Hilter!) was told.

    While they may have also been doing that, the real reason that Himmler and others wanted the research to take place was so the Nazis could covertly
    create new biological weapons of their own. Evidence now suggests that
    they not only took part in this research but actually used what they found
    at least once in Northeastern Italy, after the fall of their fascist
    government and Italy's subsequent realignment with the Allies.

    The Japanese did the same thing in Manchuria, experimenting with gain-of-function (for a supposedly good cause) on their captives while
    planning biological disasters for their foes. There was a meeting of German and Japanese scientists aboard a submarine somewhere in the Indian Ocean
    during WWII where they exchanged notes.

    Even a smart person should question whether or not funding/participating in such research in or with less-than-friendly countries could lead to someone later using what was learned against us, or against other innocent
    countries. History proves it can happen. It does not sound like it
    happened with COVID but, seeing as how China has about as much regard for
    their minority groups as the Japanese did for the Chinese, if I were a US researcher or top health official I would not want to be in any way
    involved in working with China on any gain-of-function research.

    That means nothing.

    I'm not being racist, but there are more non-white criminals in the news than there are whites. So it doesn't jive with Joe's pitch to non-white voters that
    "it's the white ones you ought to be scared of!"

    That depends on where you live. When I think of criminals, I usually
    picture a white person because most of the criminal types around here seem
    to be. Now, if I was in a part of the country dominated by non-whites,
    then the criminals there are probably more likely to be non-white.

    IIRC, last I checked, you are more likely to be the victim of a crime that
    is perpetrated by someone of your own race.

    No, they didn't. They expressed solidarity.

    were supposedly honoring.

    "Domestic terrorism from white supremacists is the most lethal threat in the homeland. We cannot and must not give hate any safe harbor." -- President Biden

    Domestic terrorism in general is always at the top of threats to the
    homeland. The recent mass-shootings, which I see as terrorists acts, would prove that point. They were Americans shooting at Americans. Now, with
    those recent shootings, a lot of the perpetrators were not white. As best
    as I can tell, only one has been tied to being a potential "white
    supremacist."

    I believe Biden said "white supremacists" in that statement for a reason, but
    I don't believe that we would agree on that reason. It was either a
    devisive statement or a leftist dog-whistle. Either way, it seems to have worked.

    The statement would have been just as true, if not even a little more so,
    if he had said, "Domestic terrorism is the most lethal threat in the
    homeland. We cannot and must not give hate any safe harbor." That would
    have covered all domestic terror threats, and all hate. Joe, or his
    handlers, decided to narrow down the threats and the hate that cannot be tolerated for a reason.

    No, they didn't. They expressed solidarity.
    Solidarity with a tribe of Ghanians who terrorized innocent people.

    Solidarity with African-Americans.

    Wearing Kente cloth isn't solidarity with African-Americans, and neither is inviting yourself to a funeral of a person whom you've never met.

    When non-liberals/non-leftists do such a thing, I think it is called
    "cultural misapropriation." When they do it, it is "solidarity."

    Exactly. You were misquoting it to twist it into "Joe's addressing danger," but he's not addressing real dangers. If white supremacists were murdering people then we'd hear about it, and we're not hearing about it.

    The mass shooter in Buffalo targeted the store because its clientele was
    mostly black and/or non-white. That is the only one I have heard of
    recently. Most of the other shootings, and crimes, seem to be white/black/hispanic persons perpetrating their crimes against persons of
    the same skin color, or diverse crowds.

    Everything Joe does or says is on the Soros agenda. They see eye to eye more than Joe sees eye to eye with the American people. An example is Joe's executive order which takes rights away from federal police. George wants Joe to cripple the police, and Joe obeys George's orders.

    Not sure about this, but I did read where a Soros-backed DA on the West
    Coast (SF?) got recalled because he was too-soft on criminals. That means there were enough people fed up with him to circulate a petition to get the recall on a ballot, and enough people to vote in favor of it to make it
    happen. Since it happened on the West Coast, he must have been really,
    really bad.

    I was having a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday... a Democrat
    who cannot stand Trump... and the topic of the mass shootings came up. I
    mentioned that, aside from the one person in Buffalo, the demographic seems to have shifted from "angry white males" to males of multiple races. We both came to the conclusion that there is something going on that is making people go off the rails beyond the "usual suspects."

    Like what? I've long suspected that leftist activists are preying on mentally vulernable people with drugs and/or subliminal messaging. But is that what you're hinting at?

    No, certainly not. I am thinking more along the lines of something non-conspiratory. Like we goofed when we started closing mental
    institutions, or the deterioration of the family unit, or something else
    that is causing people to snap or to feel so otherwise hopeless that a
    killing spree seems like a good idea.

    One thing I am pretty sure we are doing wrong is being too tolerant, or inattentive, of persons with violent and sociopathic tendencies.

    The Democrats chose to wear Ashanti kente cloth. The Ashanti tribe shares similarties with Democrat culture; they are born into wealth, and they traded slaves for other goods. PERFECT for reflecting their own beliefs, but also cultural appropriation; not all Africans support slavery like Jeff's friends do.

    Yea, the real goal of study is something that they don't talk about.

    Do you have evidence to support this hypothesis? No, of course you don't,
    you're making it up because you've been brainwashed to believe that scientists are "evil".

    Nuclear fallout is a threat. Maybe we should mutate nuclear disasters so that way we can study it and prevent it from hurting people?

    It is very interesting that you mention nuclear fallout. You might not be
    old enough to remember, but most of the folks who protested nuclear energy
    in this country were also the same type of folks who protested what we now
    call gain-of-function labs. While some of them were NIMBYs ("not in my back yard!"), those who joined them were of the left-leaning political persuasion.

    I am not sure when folks from that camp suddenly changed their minds about gain-of-function labs, but I suspect for many of them (especially in this
    echo) that change came after early November 2020. Possibly earlier that
    year, like when they realized that Fauci did not particularly care for
    Trump. For a few, it may have simply been because they don't want China to
    be blamed for a pandemic.

    I doubt that most of them were on board much earlier than March, 2020.

    I personally choose to believe what many scientists have said... although possible, COVID-19 likely did not start in a lab.

    That is a complete non answer, except that you seem to be implying that the Red state voters are misinformed.
    No I was stating it was the other way around, these blue areas are metropolitan. They are dem controlled strongholds. Why are they
    democrat? Why do African Americans in large numbers vote Democrat,
    they have never received anything of significance, what they have been promised w/ a better way
    of life by the dems,
    less crime, better schools, more opportunities for employment -
    whatever might be the cotton candy flavor of the moment but it never
    seems to come to fruition, and yet they continue to vote democratic.

    Perhaps because the Democrats have given them more than the Republicans
    have?

    I do not know about you Dale, but if someone promised me something,
    and then didn't deliver; a better way of life, or whatever it was. I
    would never trust them again.

    It would seem to me that the current status for African Americans *IS* a
    better way of life than they had twenty years ago. It may not be
    perfect, nor as good as the rest of us are privileged to have, but it
    is better for many.

    It was easily found with a web search.

    So was this and IT is video evidence, not some "quoted article" by a
    left leaning publication.
    https://tinyurl.com/2vjsvwx2

    ? Video evidence of what? It has nothing to do with the existence or non-existence of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

    What it is evidence of is the suppression of an elected official
    attempting to find out what the governor was doing.

    Why would anyone protest a "photo id requirement on all absentee
    ballots." What are these dems afraid of.

    The bill she was protesting against was a lot more than requiring photo
    id on mail in ballots. That bill reduced the ability of many people
    (mostly African Americans) to vote by reducing the number of polling
    places and times, plus other things designed to reduce the number of
    Democrat votes in future elections. It was based on the false premise
    of the Big Lie of Trump that there was widespread voter fraud in the
    2020 election.

    Sending out ballots and receiving ballots are two different things. If some voters have the right to mail in their ballots, why shouldn't all voters have that right?

    telling us anything? That's like saying "MSNBC spent months trying to validate Trump's claims but couldn't."

    Not hardly. AP is a centrist and trusted news source.

    AP has a lot of divisive articles on their website. I don't see it as centrist at all:

    "Some women fear setback to hard-won rights" <- sounds leftist
    "Mitt Romeny Republican is now a potent GOP primary attack" <- leftist "Sweltering streets: Hundreds of homeless die in extreme heat" <- leftist

    Trusted by unsuspecting liberals sounds more like it.

    The polls were not "kept open until the desired results were achieved".

    Not in all states, just in Nevada.

    No, certainly not. I am thinking more along the lines of something non-conspiratory. Like we goofed when we started closing mental institutions, or the deterioration of the family unit, or something else that is causing people to snap or to feel so otherwise hopeless that a killing spree seems like a good idea.

    It's nice of you to call these things "goofs" and it's modest for you to say "we" like you had any choice in these matters.

    Andrew Cuomo (D) closed the Broome Developmental Center in Broome County NY (that's the county where the Buffalo shooter is from,) and I'm not sure how custody agreements go here in NYS, but in Indiana County Pennsylvania, there's
    a Democrat family court judge who facililtates fatherlessness (at least for me
    and my oldest son.) Coincidences, perhaps!

    Now these are possibly examples of what I was thinking of. I am not sure
    they are part of any conspiracy so much as they are just bad policies. In
    the case of the mental institutions, I think both political sides are to
    blame -- the left said it was not correct to lock people away, that they
    could reform them, etc., while the right disagreed until someone showed them they could save money not locking them away.

    The USA is not the only place that happened, either.

    As a society, we seem to look at divorce with less of a stigma than we used
    to. In some ways, I am not sure that is a bad thing as some marriages are worse than the alternative. However, it has also contributed to the deterioration of the family unit. It is not the only factor. Judges who
    have a prejudice against the fathers (or mothers!) certainly don't help.

    I honest think that part of the problem lies with (at least part of) our society and how we raise kids with the idea that they "need to have kids"
    of their own when they hit a certain age. Not teaching them about, or
    giving them proper access to, birth control is another factor. Abstinence until marriage is a great idea but it is quite obvious it is *not* effective *at all* in practice.

    Drug addicts that get pregnant and continue using during pregnancy lead to children with psychological issues which also does not help.

    One thing I am pretty sure we are doing wrong is being too tolerant, or inattentive, of persons with violent and sociopathic tendencies.

    School staff members don't want to stir things up, and single moms can't discipline their kids. "No TV or internet while I'm at work and while you're home alone." (yea right!)

    If they even try to discipline them. There are some parents who worry
    about their kid's behavior and may take action. There are others who worry
    but do not (scared of the kid, worried about what society would think if
    they find out, etc.). Then there are those who think their kid cannot do anything wrong and actually enable the kids... even after the kid does something serious enough to land them in jail, they work to get them out.

    That last group in particular should not be parents.

    It would seem to me that the current status for African Americans *IS* a better way of life than they had twenty years ago. It may not be
    perfect, nor as good as the rest of us are privileged to have, but it
    is better for many.

    I think in some ways, it *was* getting better. The largest city in
    Kentucky has been lead by "non-Republicans" for at least 40 years now. Their policies over the last 10-15 years of that time have lead to a lot of older African Americans, who lived in decent areas of town, either finding their
    area going downhill or becoming gentrified to the point where they can no longer afford to live there.

    The family of Briana Taylor pointed that out as one of the reasons they
    thought the cops were so aggressive in certain areas... that it is some
    part of the city's plan to gentrify more areas and make more tax money by driving (certain) people out of those areas.

    Most White Democrats in that area seem overall please with the
    administrations in question, so they keep electing the same people. Since
    1990 (or slighly before... I cannot remember when Abrahamson first took
    office) they have only had 2 or 3 mayors, so they get re-elected plenty.

    I doubt that Louisville, Kentucky, is the only place in the USA where
    African Americans are being gentrified out of their neighborhoods.

    Sending out ballots and receiving ballots are two different things. If some voters have the right to mail in their ballots, why shouldn't all voters have that right?

    Fine, but why make those changes in 2020 and not in 2019 or 2018?
    (Hint: We needed to remove a certain somebody in 2020!)

    Better Hint: We wanted to avoid people getting Covid from waiting in

    I think Aaron would make a better point asking why some people want to keep these particular COVID-prevention, not in person options in place after the pandemic.

    It's part of my own personal agenda to teach Pennsylanian men not to become fathers in Pennsylvania, unless they're emotionally strong enough to say goodbye to their children forever, and financially strong enough to say goodbye to 35% of their gross income for up to 18 years. Kids are great, but they can be weaponized.

    think if they find out, etc.). Then there are those who think their kid cannot do anything wrong and actually enable the kids... even after the kid does something serious enough to land them in jail, they work to get them out.

It's sickening when people refuse to be wrong, and it's menacing to realize that they're passing the idiotic philosophy on to their kids.

    Not hardly. AP is a centrist and trusted news source.

    It would be more accurate to suggest that they are dangerously close
    to leaning left.
    Source:
    https://www.thefactual.com/blog/is-the-associated-press-biased/

    AP often includes subjective, leftward analysis in hard news reports
    and omits sources in its political writing. This reflects the worries
    of some, conservative critics about the creep of liberal bias at the organization, which
    they argue is moving away from simple reporting to providing
    contextual and biased analysis.

    OK, you pick a single paragraph from that article (which BTW is an
    article which concludes that AP is a neutral and factual news source)
    which says what you want it to say, while ignoring the overall analysis
    in the article. I'll call your article and raise you one:

    The AP had an average Writing Tone score of 0.79, placing it in the 96th percentile in our dataset. This is the tenth-highest score in the
    dataset out of all 245 sources that we analyzed, suggesting that
    articles from AP are almost always written in a highly neutral tone.
    This means articles from the site rarely use emotionally loaded language
    or sensationalist reporting.

    Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) reaches a similar conclusion, classifying
    AP as "Least-Biased"--MBFC's centrist category-- but close to
    "Left-Center". This borderline positioning is due to left-leaning editorializing, but MBFC assesses that AP has an overall balanced story selection. AP also receives the highest possible rating for factual
    reporting due to proper sourcing of information and a clean fact-check
    record. MBFC corroborates AllSides in finding a slight left-leaning bias
    in some instances, though they credit AP for maintaining a largely
    neutral voice in coverage of the Trump presidency.

    They want to hold hearings on January 6th when they should be holding hearings on the Origins of Covid w/ 600,000 dead in the U.S. and over 4 Million dead worldwide. President Biden has failed to do anything meaningful to hold China accountable.

    "Integration" has always been a part of the "we shouldn't lock them up" narrative. For some illnesses, and some patients, that could very well be true. For sociopaths that have shown an affinity for violence, maybe not
    so much.

    It's part of my own personal agenda to teach Pennsylanian men not to become fathers in Pennsylvania, unless they're emotionally strong enough to say goodbye to their children forever, and financially strong enough to say goodby
    to 35% of their gross income for up to 18 years. Kids are great, but they can be weaponized.

    That they can. Parents often use them as weapons in such a situation... or maybe bargaining chips is a better term. It is the kids that suffer from
    that behavior.

    Having worked in IT for years has taught me that making things "much
    easier" for the user is not always a good thing. It almost always goes hand
    in hand with "much easier to abuse."

    Back in the early 20-teens, someone in the Federal Government came up with
    a bright idea to make it easier for people to apply for some form of
    federal loan or assistance. You go to the website, give it some minimal identifying information, and it would pull in your federal tax return info (either for the previous year, or multiple previous years). So it was
    "much easier" to apply.

    It was also "much easier" for non-honest individuals to pull the federal
    tax return information of persons (plural) who were not themselves. They
    then used that information to file fradulent tax returns the following year that were close enough to what the real person filed the previous year that they were able to get around most of the federal fraud prevention edits.

    That had a ripple effect, so the crooks not only got away with federal
    refund money, they also got away with refund money from the state the real person lived in, and from whatever other money-making schemes that they
    could use that stolen return information for.

    But, you know, it made it "much easier" than applying for the
    loan/assistance in person or by mail, and "much easier" than having to gather that info on your own so, by the logic of some, that makes it a good thing.

    Do we call people "Mitt Romneys" when we suspect them of rino-ism? I don't. Mitt Romney doesn't vote liberal on everything. I'm somewhat pleased with his voting record. He ain't a bad guy, just not a Trumper. To say that "calling people a Romney is the new thing," is BS.

    Homeless people die in the heat, and they also die in the snow. We don't need the AP to tell us about that. We need them to tell us how we can help them.

Ergo no MediCare for all, but rather the right to get a premium, private insurance (costing four times as much than the extra taxes to pay for the former).

    How then can anyone believing in that, then accept that the government actually can take control of how more than half of the citizens (of the wrong gender) are allowed to make decisions about their own fucking bodies!?!?

    Yeah, how's that for less government and more freedom, you poor suckers...

    Hello Björn,

    [..]

    How then can anyone believing in that, then accept that the government actually can take control of how more than half of the citizens (of the wrong gender) are allowed to make decisions about their own fucking bodies!?!?

    Yeah, how's that for less government and more freedom, you poor suckers...

    Eugene Robinson (he won a Pulitzer) tried to explain it to us -

    This isn’t your country anymore. You are now governed by a secretive
    and unaccountable junta in long black robes, and there are going to be
    some changes around here.

    Our de facto rulers are Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel
    A. Alito Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett,
    with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. usually joining in. Be sure to
    remember their names, because they are now large and in charge — and
    because they envision a United States far different from the nation
    we’re accustomed to.

    I describe them with a term more commonly used for Latin American
    military regimes because, well, that’s what it feels like.

    They want a country where women, once again, are at best second-class
    citizens. Their decision Friday to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade
    ruling that protected the constitutional right to abortion means that
    women, unlike men, no longer have dominion over their own bodies.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/06/27/supreme-court-roe -abortion-christians/


    Now that you know who our real rulers are, and how we are all
    controlled and manipulated by what amounts to being a junta, you
    can sleep well at night, knowing that Turkey has agreed to allow
    both Sweden and Finland to join NATO, where women in black robes
    are not allowed to pray.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Hello Bj”rn,

    [..]

    ... about "Some women are happy about the USSC's ruling?"

    This is one thing that we in the free world do not understand about the crazy talk from the MAGA crowd.

    It is all very simple. So simple even a small child would understand.

    Wasn't the GOP once the party that had on it's agenda less government and more freedom?

    If you want to be stupid, I can be stupid too. That is the principle
    the GOP was founded on.

    Ergo no MediCare for all, but rather the right to get a premium, private insurance (costing four times as much than the extra taxes to pay for the former).

    Donald Trump wanted to be stupid, and tried mightily to be stupid,
    but John McCain could not be stupid. As a result, we are all still
    stuck with Obamacare, with retirees having MediCare ...

    How then can anyone believing in that,

    Cardinal rule of politics - once you give something away, you can't
    take it back. FDR gave us social security. LBJ gave us medicare. GWB
    expanded medicare with unfunded mandate, Obama gave us Obamacare.

    Everybody loves freebies.

    then accept that the government actually can take control of how more than half of the citizens (of the wrong gender) are allowed to make decisions about their own fucking bodies!?!?

    What do women want? I will not even pretend to know the answer
    to that question. But one thing is for certain. Guys will do whatever
    a woman wants. That is just the way it is, and always has been, since
    man has walked this earth ...

    Yeah, how's that for less government and more freedom, you poor suckers...

    The wonders a woman can do with a coat hanger ...

    The media has you (and many others) spazzing out over nothing. The USSC ruling has not outlawed abortions; it has left the power up to the state governments (state government as in providence government.) Now the providences "can" decide (as individuals) on abortion rights. I put "can" in quotes because the providences have always had the power to do so, but now they are forced to decide for themselves.

    Province governments, such as New York province's government, California's province government, and Virginia's province government, already allow doctors to murder babies up to and including on the day they're born. (It's not "murder" unless the baby is 2 days old.) Are you outraged that 1 day old
    babies can't be murdered in the other 47 provinces? Or that some pregnant women will need to travel to another province to murder their baby legally?

    Oops and I didn't mean to say "women" I meant to say "birthing persons." (Wouldn't want to offend men with uteruses.)

    I don't know about the middle one, but the other two are true, right? Right or wrong, there are some women who are worried right now, and the heat kills homeless people every year. You would have to go deeper into the article to prove a lean.

    The proof is in the headlines. "Some women fear setback to hard-won rights," that's not necessarily a fake story, but zeroing-in on that aspect of the USSC
    ruling is a leftist approach. Why can't our pals from the AP publish the story
    about "Some women are happy about the USSC's ruling?"

    By this logic, wouldn't that make the second headline rightist? :)

    Do we call people "Mitt Romneys" when we suspect them of rino-ism? I don't. Mitt Romney doesn't vote liberal on everything. I'm somewhat pleased with his voting record. He ain't a bad guy, just not a Trumper. To say that "calling people a Romney is the new thing," is BS.

    Some people do. I would not, either.

    Hello Dale,

    Trump insisting on going to the Capital himself and becoming furious
    when the secret service would not allow that.

    The person who testified to this said she was told this by another
    person who was also not in the car when it supposedly happened.

    She was quite clear about what she had observed, and what she was told
    in various points in her testimony. As to this particular item, she was clear that she was told this by another person while the Secret Service Agent involved was in the room. If it were not true, he could easily
    have interjected at that point.

    Don't let it bother you. Mike Powell is nothing more than a shill
    for Donald Trump. There are others doing the same. What is going on
    sounds like standard Trump gaslighting, "People are saying ..."

    Let's look at a few facts. Real facts that can be independently
    verified. Here's one of those facts -

    Cindy Hutchinson's testimony (under oath) followed switch from lawyer
    being paid by Trump. Records - MSNBC Prime.

    Ari Velshi (MSNBC) showed public records that indicate Donald Trump's
    Save America PAC making regular payments to Elections LLC, the law firm
    of Stefan Passantino, who represented Cassidy Hutchinson until she
    changed lawyers about a month before testifying at the J6 hearing.
    This shows a possible connection between the switch and her willingness
    to testify. This was aired on 06/30/2022.

    The question is, have lawyers representing these people (which had
    included Cindy Hutchinson) really been representing Trump?

    Meanwhile, the Secret Service was never asked if it happened, and
    apparently the officer involved says it did not.

    The Secret Service had not yet been asked because they had given their testimony well before Tuesday's session. They have said that they are willing to reply under oath, but to my knowledge they have not yet done so.

    Notice none of the critics of Cindy Hutchinson's testimony have
    done so under oath. Nor or any of them willing to do so. This is
    all nothing more than standard Trump gaslighting.

    There have been some things to come out of the hearings, yes, but
    having a special unscheduled day for someone to repeat things they did
    not witness, and only heard second or third hand, only gives those that
    doubt the validity of the whole process more ammunition for their
    claims.

    You focus on this one item. As I said above, she did not claim direct knowledge of that particular incident -- but that she was told about it
    by a reliable observer. I admit that until the Secret Service Agent is asked under oath, that item remains hearsay.

    Her testimony was both damning and credible. Especially since all of
    it was made while under oath, the penalty for lying being perjury.

    I am sure secret service agents would have no problem being sworn
    in and testifying under oath. But critics (shills of Donald Trump)
    are not willing to do so. And we all know the reason why.

    OTOH, much of her testimony was based on things that she directly observed. She was in the tent prior to Trump's speech. She hear him
    tell the Secret Service to let the armed people into the rally area *without* surrendering their arms.

    If she perjured herself, then she should be charged. But no charges
    have been filed. Could be because she actually told the truth.

    Taken as a whole, her testimony was valuable to the J6 committee and
    worth making public.

    Not only was her testimony valuable (and credible) to the J6 select
    committee, but it was also the most damning presented to date. This is
    what the public needed to know, and not be hidden.

    For Life,
    Lee

    -=the entity known as MIKE POWELL attempted to insinuate ... =-

    Trump insisting on going to the Capital himself and becoming furious
    when the secret service would not allow that.

    The person who testified to this said she was told this by another
    person who was also not in the car when it supposedly happened.

    She was quite clear about what she had observed, and what she was told
    in various points in her testimony. As to this particular item, she was
    clear that she was told this by another person while the Secret Service
    Agent involved was in the room. If it were not true, he could easily
    have interjected at that point.

    You don't know why she was not corrected, or if the agent even heard what she
    was told.

    No cross examination, no real Republicans, NO NOTHING. Fake stories
    and an all Fake Narrative being produced, with ZERO pushback allowed.
    Unselects (twit me please) should be forced to disband. WITCH HUNT!

    Sounds like standard Trump gaslighting, "People are saying ..."

    You focus on this one item. As I said above, she did not claim direct
    knowledge of that particular incident -- but that she was told about it
    by a reliable observer. I admit that until the Secret Service Agent is
    asked under oath, that item remains hearsay.

    But you posted that as if it was fact, which is why I focused on that item.

    I did not question the other ones.

    Time for MIKE POWELL to take the stand and testify, under oath,
    to the J6 select committee ...

    For Life,

    Nor do you know if she was corrected, nor if the agent agree with her.

    I posted it as something that came out -- sorry for not transcribing her
    exact testimony.

    I did not question the other ones.

    All of which are also pretty damning for Trump.

    I am sure it is, otherwise you'd not be posting it.

    I am still waiting to see any credible articles you might want to share.
    Thanks for being patient, and just know that I have not forgotten.
    Not in the slightest.
    Truthfully, I had one helluva day on Friday it was nightmarish.
    Day began at 7:30 am Friday and ended a 3am the next morning. (Saturday)
    My Arris cablemodem/([router]) was no longer recognized with my service provider after a restoration of my account with my ISP. The hardwired
    machines continued to function, but the router connectivity was lost which meant no wifi and with no wifi there is no IP for any of the wireless devices. New Cable Modem has been provided, by the ISP but the router that the ISP provided was garbage. No GUI in the old-school sense of the word, only a app
    on my cellphone, but it was still lacking the connectivity to create DYN as
    it did not exist within. I have replaced the router with a Linksys Hydra 6 router and now everything is now fully restored.
    So now, I will be able to once again re-focus my gaze, while you continue to wait patiently.
