  1. If you're going to cite uncomfirmable facts of your existence as some kind of evidence, you should prepare to be challenged. And given that your hate filled comments don't exactly square with this this: "My friends arent full of hate, like the terrorist loving america hating antisemitic Socialist/Leninist/National Socialists here who just spew insults." And I know there is a rule in here about misleadingly cutting quotes to change their meaning. But you didn't the word socialism all by itself. You wrote "national socialism". Nazism. And it certainly points to some kind of ego dysfunction that you proclaim yourself the winner of an exchange. And then there's the grandiosity: "Does the elephant acknowledge the flea?" I'm beginning to think that you are some kind of conceptual comedian who declares that he is free of hate while posting personal insults based on no informaton that I've offered. If so, thanks for the laughs.
  2. Just pointing out an opposing viewpoint. I guess it's one you don't trust. Can't say I blame you. It's also a diagnostic test.
  3. Thanks for sharing with us an allegation that has been debunked many times over even in investigation done by Republicans in states where they control both the legislature and the governor ship.
  4. Thank you for sharing absolutely no independently confirmable data with us. And information about your possibly imaginary friends. Still, it's kind of hard to believe that someone who typically spews stuff like this actually has any friends who aren't full of hate: "My friends arent full of hate, like the terrorist loving america hating antisemitic Socialist/Leninist/National Socialists here who just spew insults."
  5. I don't know. Would we all grow webbed feet like Kevin Costner did in Waterworld?
  6. Well, I can think of one person who cares: you. Otherwise, why post?
  7. You clearly don't have even a basic understanding of how the stock market works. DJT didn't start trading openly until Mar 26. Here's where it stood on Mar 25 And here's where it closed on Mar 26, 2024 https://www.google.com/search?q=djt+stock+price&oq=djt+stock+price&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggAEEUYOzIGCAAQRRg7MgYIARBFGDsyBggCEEUYPDIGCAMQRRg80gEIMzYxOGowajSoAgCwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  8. It is odd how someone who claims to be from New York also has friends and family in NC and/or TN. Very conveniently placed family. And unlike the quoted sources, no way to fact check if they even exist.
  9. Please. Everyone knows that Fox News is at least halfway in the tank for Kamala. And if you don't believe me, will you believe this guy? Trump claims Fox News ‘has totally lost its way’ after the network announces it will interview Harris Former President Donald Trump on Monday criticized Fox News in a series of social media posts, claiming the conservative-leaning network “has grown weak and soft on Democrats” after the network announced it will interview Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump posted on social media that Fox News anchor Bret Baier, who will interview Harris on Wednesday, is too soft on the left. In a separate post, Trump claimed that Harris’ spokesperson, Ian Sams, “virtually owns [Fox]” and took shots at several Fox News personalities, including Neil Cavuto. “Lyin’ Kamala Harris has wisely chosen Bret Baier, of FoxNews, to do a much needed interview, because he is considered to be ‘Fair & Balanced,’ though often very soft to those on the ‘cocktail circuit’ Left,” read one of Trump’s posts. https://archive.ph/cpnyS#selection-1183.0-1218.0 Donald Trump Says Kamala Harris' Campaign 'Virtually Owns' Fox News Former President Donald Trump has accused Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign of having an outsized influence on Fox News. The network announced on Monday that the vice president agreed to sit for a prerecorded interview with chief political anchor Bret Baier, scheduled to air on October 16. In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump criticized Fox News for what he perceives as disproportionate airtime given to Harris campaign representatives. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-kamala-harris-owns-fox-news-1968940
  10. I guess when you got nothing, personal anecdotes whether true or make believe will have to do.
  11. WThat's because DJT is what is called a meme stock. It's valuation has little to do with its financial prospects which are clearly dismal. It's an X wannabe. That a company's worth depends on whether or not its chief shareholder becomes President, show what a dismal investment it really is.
  12. Thanks for continuing to be disingenuous. Still trying to treat Trump's statements as separate and unrelated propositions. If you ignore context and his history, you might have a point. But it would still be basically dishonest.
  13. Or maybe it's you who aren't facing an obvious truth about context. "They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-immigrants-are-poisoning-blood-country-biden-campaign-liken-rcna130141 Clearly, it's willful naivete on your part to ignore the fact that Trump hasn't been singling out Europeans or other nations where the population is mostly of European ancestry. And willful naivete is a form of dishonesty.
  14. You're the one who parsed Trump's statement to show that there wasn't a logical connection between his 2 claims in order to debunk that fact that Trump was making racist claims.
  15. Thanks for the willful naivete. In an anti illegal immigration speech he pivots to talking about criminality and bad genes. This is coming from the guy who said this: DURHAM, New Hampshire, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Donald Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner, said on Saturday that undocumented immigrants were "poisoning the blood of our country," repeating language that has previously drawn criticism as xenophobic and echoing of Nazi rhetoric... Trump used the same "poisoning the blood" language during an interview with The National Pulse, a right-leaning website, that was published in late September. It prompted a rebuke from the Anti-Defamation League, whose leader, Jonathan Greenblatt, called the language "racist, xenophobic and despicable." https://archive.ph/IW6qy Here's a word you might want to contemplate: con·text /ˈkäntekst/ noun the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed. https://www.google.com/search?q=context&oq=context&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg8MgYIAhBFGDwyBggDEEUYPDIGCAQQRRhB0gEIMTU3OGowajeoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  16. The problem with that sketch wasn't whether it was offensive or not, but whether it was funny. It just wasn't. This reminds me of the furor surrounding the cancellation of Ellen Degeneres' sitcom. Supposedly it was cancelled because she came out but the fact is that the big problem with the was that it wasn't funny. At least, not funny enough to get good ratings. Edit: I should note that I think Sarah Sherman is great. It's just this sketch that wasn't.
  17. So not secretive at all yet... "The US was aware of the Qatari payments to Hamas, a former senior State Department official involved in the region told CNN on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter."
  18. Donald Trump’s running mate has hit on a new strategy to defend the GOP’s oft-criticized health-care record: talk about his own family’s experience. “Members of my family actually got private health insurance, at least, for the first time … under Donald Trump’s leadership,” Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said at this month’s vice-presidential debate, repeating a line he has used on the stump. Vance added that his family members switched off Medicaid, the government health insurance program for low-income Americans, while Trump was in office between 2017 and 2021... “If any Vance family members transitioned to the marketplace because they earned out of Medicaid, they should be grateful that Trump and Republicans in Congress failed to repeal and replace the marketplace with an alternative that would have provided far less affordable coverage,” Andrew Sprung, an independent health analyst who has been tracking Vance’s policy proposals, wrote in an email. https://archive.ph/tEAIb#selection-821.0-825.20 Thanks, Trump. Trump issues executive order to start rolling back Obamacare Within hours of taking the oath of office, President Donald Trump on Friday night signed an executive order aimed at trying to fulfill one of his most impassioned campaign promises: Rolling back Obamacare. The multi-part executive order stated that the administration’s official policy is “to seek the prompt repeal” of the Affordable Care Act – but at the same time emphasized that it must continue to uphold the law. With his signature, Trump sent a powerful signal on Day One of his presidency: His top priority in the Oval Office will be dismantling the health care law that covers some 20 million Americans. https://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/20/politics/trump-signs-executive-order-on-obamacare/index.html Trump Slams McCain Blocking Obamacare Repeal: 'Honestly, Terrible' Trump said McCacain did “a horrible horrible thing” by casting the deciding vote against an bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act... "It’s a little tougher without McCain’s vote, but we’ve got some time," Trump said, acknowledging the difficulty in passing the Senate health care bill before a critical September 30 deadline. "We are going to do it, eventually." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-slams-mccain-blocking-obamacare-repeal-honestly-terrible-n804056

  19. Israel's goal in helping Qatar was to keep Hamas in power by helping Qatar to provide assistance that Hamas wasn't providing and by doing so, subduing popular discontent with Hamas. Who knows if Hamas would even have been in power if Israel hadn't allowed Qatar to send money into Gaza?
  20. There was plenty secretive about it. While before it was known that Israel tolerated it, what was news was how active Israel was in assisting the money's delivery. Really, nothing ignorant? You claimed that "Qatar sent aid money to Gaza , would have been rather harsh on Gaza to stop that aid money from entering into Gaza." So, according to you, this giving of aid preceded Israeli permission and assistance in its delivery.. You sure about that?
  21. Federal emergency response workers operating in North Carolina's Rutherford County in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene were told to evacuate on Saturday over concerns that an "armed militia" was threatening workers in the area, it has been reported. An official with the U.S. Forest Service, which is supporting recovery efforts along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), sent an message to numerous federal agencies at around 1 p.m. on Saturday warning that FEMA has advised all federal responders in Rutherford County to "stand down and evacuate the county immediately," The Washington Post reported. National Guard troops had come across two trucks of "armed militia saying they were out hunting FEMA," the email said. https://www.newsweek.com/armed-militia-hunting-fema-hurricane-responders-1968382 This kind of thing was predicted: As Trump pushes false FEMA claims, officials warn of 'extremely damaging' impacts One of the falsehoods they took issue with is one that former President Donald Trump has pushed repeatedly on the campaign trail since Helene slammed into Florida's Gulf Coast and dumped up to 30 inches of rain in some parts of the Southeast. Trump claimed that disaster funds were being used on immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally rather than Americans impacted by disasters... FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts," the memo said in response to those claims. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/misinformation-amid-helene-recovery-extremely-damaging-fema-official/story?id=114572760
  22. Is that what it shows? Got that gem out of a scientific journal, did you?
  23. I was asking you the question to reveal your ignorance. And it did. Whether that ignorance is feigned or genuine I'm in no position to determine.
  24. They want nothing to do with Spain? Well, then, if that's the case then a closed border shouldn't even be an issue.
