  1. I’m aware. This story fading from the news is beneficial to Dotard, because we all know it’s true. You do, too, which is why you immediately refused to answer a simple question.
  2. Has Kelly denied it happened?
  3. If he promises no class on Fridays, no weekend homework and Ice Cream for lunch, I’m in.
  4. Snowflakes needs their safe space. If that thread gets reported I’m sure it’ll be here within minutes.
  5. At least the British print version used to have tits. I could understand that. This ... why spend every evening getting told to fear shit and told to buy shit that won’t make you thinner or longer?
  6. I wasn’t around then, but I heard about it later.
  7. Correct. And the best time to actually reach the barely-informed voter is within 60 days of the election. Defeating Trump is the only way to save lives he’d otherwise destroy. I would expect more and more of these revelations because now is when they could really move the needle, whether that’s changing a few minds, or convincing a few to actually vote for a change.
  8. I’m not for outright making shit up. If someone mistakenly slams Dotard a bit like this, correct it and move on. Skip the fucking lecture. Spare me the sanctimonious shit. These people would have any amount of “other” in chains if that got them a .5% capital gains tax cut. So THIS video doesn’t show he’s got serious mental decline. Oh no, the horror. He deserves this treatment and we have democracy to save. But you do have a point. Dems are supposed to be the party that loses out of principle. We should sing kumbaya, call for disbanding the military, lose resoundingly, and watch the west crumble with a clear conscience.
  9. Why? Is it because the Dotard Party is so honorable, their campaigns stick to truth and positivity, and our elections are decided by which side avoids the cheap shots?
  10. I thought he was groverat. But you make a good point.
  11. Agree not to ignore, and that he brings a unique perspective and interpretation. But you’re overselling it. He spends far too much time picking a fight, and derailing a thread without actually backing up his points. He’s bizarro Escriva/Laphroaig/LonghornLaw.
  12. Do some criminal defense. You'll stop asking that question in about 6 months. The answer is: a lot.
  13. And by Troll you mean Trumpist Intellectual. It was said in another thread that the GOP should replace the elephant for the troll face as it’s logo. It’s all they even pretend to offer as cover for all the gritting and the rape of our political traditions and norms.
  14. I agree. I didn't post it before, but if you cut an post the quote above into google, it shows up a total of 1 time. How many times do things show up in a google search with one hit? It was The Christian Post. Not sure there's anything special about that, just the lack of other coverage. It seems that Redfield acknowledged what anyone would in his shoes, that money is a possible motivator for fraud. Not that he thought it was happening to any significant degree.
  15. That quote is in the second video below:
  16. How are they going to do this? I get that they might want to. But what you're talking about takes competence. Trump ain't no Cheney. Let's assume, arguendo, that Biden takes the EC. What does the GOP coup look like? I'll grant that they will try to rig the election. Gym laid out one plan for us today (again, I think a fascistic takeover is beyond the grasp for these D-teamers). But humor me and consider that they just can't quite get that done.
  17. The problem is Arthur Brooks is looking at Trumpism as if it was an isolated bad presidency that led to the upheaval. Trumpism is more akin to the cataclysmic events in our history. After the Civil War the GOP won 9 of the next 11 presidential elections. After the onset of the Great Depression Dems won 7 of 9. Following the fracture of what historians call the Democratic-Republican Party in 1924 (marking the beginning of the robust two-party system Brooks looks to for solace) the Dems won 6 of 8. It's foolish to look at the 1970s, when liberalism was losing intellectual momentum and conservatism was stretching its legs as a data point for the resilience of today's GOP. If anything those roles are reversed. Progressive ideas abound, and are, for the first time in a while, a decent threat to take control of the Democratic Party. I would argue, that, If your looking for parallels, Biden is the Dems Nixon, who with conservative support, though wasn't conservative. Conservative activists saw the disaster in '64 as reason enough to get in line with the GOP in '68 and hope to continue to work within the party apparatus to capture it ideologically. One could easily see that dynamic play out over the next decade or so as boomers give way to millennials as the dominant electoral block. In short, I agree. If GOP activists want to prevent long-term electoral carnage, they need to work with their donors to isolate Trump as a political force. There's no guarantee that any strategy along those lines would be successful, but if there is any path to parity with Dems in the near-term it includes total disavowal of Trumpism.
  18. Low blow bringing this shit up right as football anticipation is usually at its highest, but isn't because the season will undoubtedly be cancelled.
  19. Meh. Fox would just give a Colmes-like “liberal” 3 hours from 2-5 am to offset Hannity, Ingraham and Tucker. Or trot out morons paid to put a face to conservative straw men easy to knock down. Librrals need to study and use the conservative playbook. They need to convince rich liberals to open up their checkbooks to fund liberal media. Trying to force fairness on a blood sport is a fool’s errand.
  20. Fortunately for DOTUS the next distraction is about to hit, since his executive order on the matter only tells others to "consider" the issue. Dirty libs will be wailing about a few million newly homeless. Sad.
  21. It's the first half of Jaws in a loop. At no point does anyone make the mayor hire Quint. At no point do we do what's really necessary at this point - shut everything down again, pay people who are unemployed or work in jobs that will die because they can't work, stop evictions again, etc., etc. Instead we keep looking at the water and all the money it can make us, and jump right back in. Will schools opening and then closing be our "my kids were on that beach, too" moment. Nah.
  22. He keeps this in the bag for that very reason:
  23. Add DC and PR statehood and Trump in Sing Sing til he croaks and we can move on. Anything short of that and the damage he’s done to our traditions means the next GOP potus has a blueprint to a dictatorship.
  24. If we get a Biden administration, he better not pull a Ford, and issue pardons and so on. Heads need to fucking roll. We should need a new supermax or ten just for all these people. Otherwise, the republic is done with the next GOP victory.
  25. 12 more weeks of this weak shit. Actually that kind of hammers home brisket's fears. If this is what they've got the chances they'll direct most of their efforts towards suppression and theft are 100%. We need to pretend these attacks are devastating. Gin up some polls showing Trump gaining ground all over the place so maybe they get complacent. That and figuring out safe ways to drive massive numbers of people to early voting locations.
