  1. That you believe that this excerpt is somehow especially pertinent to what you would call the left-wing press, just shows how biased your perceptions are. It reminds of that story about what happens when you ask a hungry man what does 1+1 equal? His answer: 2 hamburgers.
  2. What's really bizarre about your projection errr prediction re the behavior of those who oppose Trump should he win, that's exactly how Trump supporters behaved when he lost. The majority of his voters still believe that the election was stolen. That Trump was cheated out of his victory. These people are the epitome of sore losers. It's the kind of lunacy that led to the the Jan 6 invasion of the Capitol.
  3. What is the definition of "to steal"? To steal is to take something without permission or unlawfully. https://www.google.com/search?q=to+steal+definition&oq=to+ste&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j69i64j69i60j69i65l2j69i61j69i60.3127j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  4. You know someone has nothing when they invoke the future. You've got nothing.
  5. Really? Government increases the cost of regulation to business by £9.9bn The RPC’s latest IVB report confirms that regulatory measures introduced by Government over the last year increased net direct costs to business by £9.9 billion. When combined with the figures for the previous two years, the total increase for the parliament to date is £14.3 billion. This compares to the Government’s target of keeping costs constant and not increasing the regulatory burden on business during this period. https://rpc.blog.gov.uk/2023/02/24/government-increases-the-cost-of-regulation-to-business-by-9-9bn/
  6. Is this the strong evidence you're referring to? Republican Admits Biden Tapes Might Not Be Smoking Gun And in an interview on Newsmax on Tuesday, Kentucky Representative James Comer left some room for reasonable doubt around the existence of any audio recordings involving the Bidens—only that someone the FBI interviewed claimed they existed. "I can confirm they were listed in the 1023 that the FBI redacted," Comer said on the program. "We don't know if they're legit or not, but we know the foreign national claims he has them." https://www.newsweek.com/republican-admits-biden-tapes-might-not-smoking-gun-1806407
  7. It makes little difference whether Trump declassified documents at heart of federal indictment: legal scholars FIRST ON FOX: Legal experts tell Fox News Digital it makes little difference whether former President Trump declassified the documents at the heart of his federal indictment. Under the Espionage Act, the crime would be improper retention or disclosure of sensitive defense information, not classified documents, according to former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andy McCarthy, who told Fox News Digital that he's "argued for a long time that Trump’s declassification claims are a red herring." "The Espionage Act crime is willful retention of national defense information, not classified information," McCarthy said. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/makes-little-difference-whether-trump-declassified-documents-heart-federal-indictment-legal-scholars
  8. Nice try at deflection. I wasn't referring to Trump, though, was I? My comment was directed at the roughly 2/3 of Republican House members who refused to certify the results of the 2020 elections. You think the conduct of Democrats in the House after the 2016 election was equivalent?
  9. Here's an interesting piece of info: Update: Two members of Congress who have seen the 1023 told the New York Post that the executive at issue was Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky. In 2020, former Giuliani aide Lev Parnas — then himself under indictment on federal charges — told Politico that Giuliani had met privately with Zlochevsky in mid-2019, in the middle of Trump’s effort to get Ukraine to announce an investigation into Biden. “Asked to detail any contacts he had with Joe Biden from 2013-2019, and whether Hunter ever facilitated any meetings,” Politico’s Natasha Bertrand wrote, “Zlochevsky replied: ‘No one from Burisma ever had any contacts with VP Biden or people working for him during Hunter Biden’s engagement.’ " https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/06/13/gop-biden-allegation-analysis/
  10. Maybe because it's really insubstantial news. Here's an excellent explanation of how tendentious it is: Here's an excellent analysis of why this "evidence" is so tendentious. Here's an excellent analysis of why this "evidence" is so tendentious . The GOP ‘bribery’ allegations against Biden remain transparently thin But despite incremental new revelations about the form and about the push for the form to be released, nothing about the situation has changed from that first news release. Republicans are hyping a secondhand allegation from a single source — an allegation that was in the hands of Attorney General William P. Barr’s Justice Department in mid-2020 without leading to criminal charges or, it seems, any specific investigation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/06/13/gop-biden-allegation-analysis/ bypass paywall: https://archive.ph/6qanL
  11. He's referring to Kash Patel, who made a lot of dubious claims. As for Kash Patels tenure as chief of staff... "After the November 2020 elections, Patel was dispatched to the Defense Department as chief of staff to the acting defense secretary where, among other activities, he reportedly pursued the idea that Italian military satellites had been used to turn votes to Joe Biden in the presidential election, according to Jonathan Karl’s book and the House Select Committee hearings. Since leaving office, Patel has joined the board of directors for the former president’s media company, Trump Media & Technology Group. On June 19, 2022, Trump sent a letter to the National Archives designating Patel as one of the former president’s “representatives for access to Presidential records of my administration.” https://www.justsecurity.org/82723/trump-associates-stated-plan-to-publicly-release-declassified-documents/ Patel was subpoenaed to testify to the Grand Jury investigating Trump and has gone remarkably quiet since then.
  12. Just to clarify. The conservatives in Canada got a plurality of the votes. Not even close to a majority.
  13. Anything close to the big majority of Republican members of the House, 139 to be exact, who voted against certifying Biden's victory in 2020?
  14. Of course, what's far worse than that is a living President who doesn't attend the inauguration of his successor. Can you name any Presidents who have done that in the 20th or 21st century? I can only come up with one.
  15. You missed this quote from that article: “The establishment, the media, the special interests, the lobbyists, the donors—they’re all against me,” Trump said today in an online ad. (This from a billionaire real-estate developer who himself is a donor, a special interest and a media brand.)" https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/what-is-the-establishment-now-213565/
  16. Actually, William Barr launched John Durham on an investigation designed to prove just that. Durham came up with nothing,.
  17. If only there were ways to store power created by solar and wind.
  18. Do you think that repeating links like the one from that loon who believes Mike Lindell has made a serious documentary are going to make them better. Or an editorial from the NY Post is serious reporting? Neither of those articles address Raskin's rebuttal. And apparently they believe that William Barr is an honest person.
  19. Your memory is faulty. All the people who signed that document were former intelligence agents who had worked for various branches of the govt.
  20. It turns out that the author of this article also wrote a favorable review of Mike Lindell's election fraud documentary. It is to laugh. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/except-lefts-mockery-oans-disclaimer-mike-lindells-met-vaughn?trk=public_profile_article_view
