  1. It's easy to con someone who wants to buy the lie that you are selling. One allegedly possible explanation is that some Chinese businessmen allegedly wanted to believe that they could buy access to Joe Biden through Hunter, and Hunter allegedly took them to the cleaners.
  2. Are you aware that "allegedly" is not proof and can not be used as evidence in court? BTW: How many allegedly claims have been made in the last couple of months regarding this subject?
  3. Investigate away. I'm waiting for evidence of criminal activity, not opinions about how the questioning should have been done.
  4. Anecdotal evidence is a statistically insignificant number of cases that do not prove a correlation. If I flip a coin three times and it comes up heads twice that does not prove a coin will come up heads two thirds of the time. A vaccinated person who has exposed himself to thousands of people during an election campaign is at high risk of catching Covid whether he is vaccinated or not. However he is at low risk of having a serious infection. Scientific studies of vaccine effectiveness are ongoing due to the evolving nature of the virus and the vaccines developed to prevent/minimize infections, but they always involve thousands or millions of people. If I tossed a coin a few thousand times and it came up heads two thirds of the time, then I would believe the coin is biased in some manner to come up heads.
  5. anecdotal evidence noun : evidence in the form of stories that people tell about what has happened to them His conclusions are not supported by data; they are based only on anecdotal evidence. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anecdotal evidence It is most definitely anecdotal evidence. Jabbed you are less likely to get Covid, less likely to get a severe case of Covid, and less likely to die from Covid.
  6. Whoever would come out ahead in primaries that would have many competitive candidates.
  7. You have to look through that rambling nonsensical tirade about a stolen election and "fight like hell" carefully to find the one use of the word "peacefully". Trump watched the ransacking of the Capitol for hours on television and ignored all those telling him to call of his mob. Only after it was clear that the mob wouldn't successfully prevent the certification of the election or hang of Mike Pence did he tell his followers to go home. The demonstration became illegitimate as soon as it breached the police lines. That would have been the time for Trump to call them off.
  8. Not just the torturer but everyone who paid to watch. Those are dangerously defective people and they should not be allowed to roam free.
  9. "Trump is the one going against the deep state." Right, and you know that's true because Trump said so. And of course you can trust Trump because he said he's trustworthy. Just ask the students of Trump University.
  10. A violent attempt at overturning legitimate election results, which fortunately failed. That's not leaving voluntarily, that's leaving after all other options have been exhausted. Trump had not quite subverted the rule of law enough to stay in power. I'm sure he will be better prepared if given another chance.
  11. No, the Executive Office (the Presidency) is one of three branches of the the US government and is constrained by law. If you don't understand that...
  12. Demonizing and scapegoating minorities, punishing businesses and elected officials that don't support his policies, restricting protests and public access to government records---generally treating the government as if it were his to do with as he pleases.
  13. That's two who do not understand the difference between anecdotal and scientific.
  14. I've been fully vaxed and boosted and have never caught Covid. I'm not making that up. There are reasons why science is based on studies of large numbers of people, not on anecdotal evidence.
  15. I'm sure you'll post credible scientific studies that show this. ????
  16. Breitbart, InfoWars, One America.... Any of these ring a bell? Now please tell us about this "left wing media" that you think is somehow misrepresenting Republican Presidential primary candidates.
  17. Let's return to your post above that I commented on. How is the "left wing" media treating any of these candidates in an unfair manner?
  18. True. ""This amendment prohibits classroom instruction to students in pre-kindergarten through Grade 3 on sexual orientation or gender identity. For Grades 4 through 12, instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited unless such instruction is either expressly required by state academic standards ... or is part of a reproductive health course or health lesson for which a student’s parent has the option to have his or her student not attend," according to the amendment." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/called-dont-gay-rules-expanded-12th-grade-florida/story?id=98691183
  19. Not in Florida. Just ask DeSantis, he'll tell you that is strictly forbidden.
  20. The media focus can't be too bad for them; the only name I recognize is Nikki Haley, and I don't recall unjustifiably negative or biased news about her. George Santos, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz can some bad press, but they generally deserve it.
  21. I don't think he did. If he had he would have found this: "What justifies the use of the term fascism is that Trump and Co. and the GOP tried to stage a violent coup. The other reason to use the fascist label is that the GOP are trying to say they’re conservatives, and they’re acting out of desire to preserve tradition and their patriots. Well, conservatives do not try and have violent coups, whereas Trump was, as Bill Barr said, a wrecking ball. And fascists are wrecking balls."
  22. As indicated by my earlier post I think aspiring fascist is a reasonable description of DeSantis. He has a record of pushing or exceeding the limit of legality to punish state officials and businesses who oppose him, restricting rights to protest and evading Florida's "Sunshine Laws" so people don't know where he is or what he's up to.
  23. Teachers "trying to get young kids to change their gender, learn about gay sex and how to "swallow"" are even rarer than voter fraud. I'm not aware of it ever happening. What are the "many lies being propagated about US history" that are being taught in schools?
