    Right wing repeater is right on time :rofl: Were your posts kicked off Facebook or Twitter?

    You think the NYP is lying?

    I wonder how much fact checking, and limiting of the spread of the story, would be going on if the news broke and it was Trump's name in the headline.

    Interesting how you have already assumed anything in that story is true. 

    The Biden Camp has not denied anything.

    The email evidence seems to be pretty overwhelming.

    I do think it's kind of convenient, if not suspicious, that a laptop was recovered from a repair shop, and all this came to light because of that.

    “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,”

     

    I thought Biden said he didn't have anything to with his son's Ukrainian connections.

     

    ""The Biden campaign did not respond to five requests for comment from The Post before publication of the initial account. The candidate himself declared an early-morning lid Wednesday, meaning he will have no public events.""

    Interesting. 

    I'm interested to see what the Biden apologists come up with on this.

    "I've got mine, fuck you."  The Republican mantra that's finally out in the open.

    It's a lot more akin to - I have mine, and you don't have the right to take it from me and force me to give it to someone I don't want to. Despite how much you want to.

    In this case the FBI. Do you think the FBI hold on to them so Trump can have a gotcha moment?

    But, feel free to supply different data. Or just blindly believe Trump, he certainly has shown how honest and scientific he is over the last 4 years.

    So . . .  What year was that?

    I hear this all the time.  "Why are MY posts censored when that liberal's posts aren't?"  Because Obama and Harris were actually born in the US and are citizens.

    It's not a double standard based on political party  It's a single standard based on who is lying and who is advocating violence.  And currently, one party pretty much has a monopoly on those.

    If you are referring to this micro universe, then it actually seems to be lopsided to the right . . . until it isn't.

    In one of his unhinged rants Trump claimed the reason he opposed a new stimulus is that money would go to 

    the 'crime infested blue states'.

    Here are the top 10 states for homicides in the most recent year for which full FBI data are available

    Rate is per 100,000 people:
     

    STATE RATE
    MS 13.4
    LA 13.3
    AL 12.2
    MO 11.4
    NM 10.8
    SC 10.2
    MD 9.3
    TN 9.2
    AR 9.1
    IL 8

    What year was that?

    Because discrimination is illegal.

    If someone wishes to sell 'to the public', they have to sell to the whole 'public'. 

    A baker is permitted to choose to sell or not sell wedding cakes. 
    But if that baker chooses to sell wedding cakes, he has to sell wedding cakes to everyone. 
    They cannot say "I'll sell wedding cakes to anyone except black people" or "I'll sell wedding cakes to anyone but Jewish people". 

    And all Trump has to do to stay on Twitter is to follow the rules. Those same rules apply to everyone. 
    But he's been ignoring rules his ENTIRE LIFE. 
    I don't think he's capable of exercising enough restraint to do that.

    I seriously doubt if the standards that are applied to Trump would be applied to Biden.

    My wife grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana (aka 'hurricane central') and still has a lot of friends in that part of the country (SW. LA and E. TX).

    The grandkid of one of her friends went back to college in TX and promptly contracted cv-19 due to inadequate precautions.  Returned home to Houston and gave it to her parents.  Parents subsequently gave it to the grandparents (my wife's friends).  Grandma has a mild case.  Grandpa is in ICU and is not expected to live.

    I hope they all fare well with Delta.

    “Wildfire has been an important process affecting the Earth's surface and atmosphere for over 350 million years and human societies have coexisted with fire since their emergence. Yet many consider wildfire as an accelerating problem, with widely held perceptions both in the media and scientific papers of increasing fire occurrence, severity and resulting losses. However, important exceptions aside, the quantitative evidence available does not support these perceived overall trends. Instead, global area burned appears to have overall declined over past decades, and there is increasing evidence that there is less fire in the global landscape today than centuries ago. ”

    BTW here in the US, in1930 and 1931 more than 50 million acres burned

    It comes down to believing the narrative or understanding  the facts, I choose the latter.

    But But But - TRUMP!!!

    i'm not surprised, and i am not at all confident i will get my fly swatter anytime soon. I agree with Coreece, they just came up with a design on the spot and will have to organize manufacturing and distribution. 

    if i get it by the election that would be great, but i will settle for getting it by the inauguration / secession / civil war or whatever next January brings.

    Get used to those broken promises from Biden's camp.

    "Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.

    He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made."

    Tax avoidance is legal. With a little digging tax fraud is the issue that results in jail time.

    "As the president wages a re-election campaign that polls say he is in danger of losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he has personally guaranteed. Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million."

    Convenient timing - 

    I wonder if it was Ok when it was Romney, back then.  As Reid said, "It worked."

    I want you to be wrong. I want him be firm with Trump and Wallace. I want him to call Trump out on his lies and tell him to quit bullshitting using the word. I want him to call out the moderation if they are allowing Trump to lie and bullshit. I want him to come unglued the first time Trump uses one of his childish nick names for anyone. I want him to be in charge.

    That's not his nature.

    You are wanting him to be something he's not.

    Maybe Kamala can lead him.
