  1. One of the ways that people who have nothing to offer in the way of rebuttal is to claim fake news and offer no credible fact in rebuttal.. I will say this for you: you didn't even bother to offer facts. You have nothing
  2. An accurate answer? What does that mean? The problem with your question is that it rests on the assumption that someone is Biden's Whisperer? In that it's similar to a when did you stop beating your wife question because it assume that someone is Biden's whisperer without offering evidence. I did offer evidence in the case of Trump. He did pretty much a 180 degree turn on the issue.
  3. Is your point that they are really Chinese?
  4. I remember when there was a Congresswoman who said not to worry about the extinction of one species because another will come along to replace it. Yours is that kind of thinkiing. Why would it "naturally" come down just as fast as it went up. You think this situation is analagous to shooting an arrow straight up into the air? This is pre-scientific thinking. The laws of physics probably will see the temperature eventually come down after the level of greenhouse gasses comes down. As for brainwashing people...you mean people who won't engage with the science and instead offer conspiracy theories?
  5. Call me a cockeyed optimist but I live in hope of their redemption.
  6. "It must have made her squirm"? More mind reading or body language reading. Your comment is ridiculous. By all accounts she acquitted herself honorably in the performance of her duties on this day. As did Mike Pence when he was in the same position. You've got nothing.
  7. 4 informants incited that crowd? Ridiculous. It was a crowd that was chanting Hang Mike Pence. Do you have a source that can identify these 4 alleged informants? Another ridiculous conspiracy theory.
  8. All those lying videos? More conspiracy nonsense.
  9. No. I'm claiming that what you presented as facts are actually falsehoods. Lets start here: "Virtually every illegal alien is on public assistance of some kind." Not even CAIR a highly bigoted and suspect organization claims that: According to them, 59% of undocumented alien households receive benefits.
  10. In the way American law operates, yes he was innocent. What is preventing you from understanding the doctrine of presumption of innocence? It's a bedrock of the US judicial system.
  11. "Post hoc ergo propter hoc" It's the latin phrase to define a logical fallacy. It means "after this therefore because of this." How intimidated would Putin be by someone who said he would consider this? Trump to look at recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, lifting sanctions The United States, along with the EU, has refused to recognize the annexation Donald Trump said Wednesday he would consider recognizing Crimea as Russian territory and lifting the sanctions against the country if he’s elected president. At a wide-ranging news conference, Trump said he “would be looking into that” when asked about his stance on Crimea and Russia. The Crimean Peninsula has been part of Ukraine for decades, but Russian President Vladimir Putin annexed the territory in March 2014 after a popular revolt toppled Kiev’s pro-Russian government. https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-to-look-at-recognizing-crimea-as-russian-territory-lifting-sanctions-putin/
  12. Love how you invoke the trope of "son of immigrants". And the son inherited hundreds of millions from his humble immigrant father. And destroyed the business his father left him. And actually would have gone bankrupt if not for the extraordinary obstacles bankruptcy law put in the way of banks seeking to reclaim their cash.
  13. Members of the "rowdy" crowd beat police officers. And attempted to surge violently into the chambers were members of congress were sequestered. Why were they looking for members of congress? What has that to do with a demonstration. Many were there explicitly to stop the transfer of power..
  14. And he's reversed himself on the question of trade with China. Now he's gung-ho in favor of it.
  15. Odd that you should accuse someone else of a reading comprehension problem. The House of Representatives charged him. That's what impeachment is. They didn't convict him. What do you think it means to charge someone with an offense? "In criminal cases, a charge is a formal accusation of criminal activity. The prosecuting attorney decides on the charges, after reviewing police reports, witness statements, and any other evidence of wrongdoing. Formal charges are announced at an arrested person's arraignment. For example, X was charged with murder." Just because impeachment and trial in the Senate aren't criminal proceedings doesn't mean that they aren't analogous to a criminal proceeding. He was not found guilty.. The impreachment process is analagous to a grand jury investigation. The Senate proceedings are the trial. Here's what a document that you are plainly unfamiliar with, says: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S4-2/ALDE_00000689/ If someone isn't convicted, then they're not guilty. That was a basic tenet of English law and was inherited by the United States. How can someone be found guilty of something if they are not convicted of anything?
  16. A serious issue? Like a stolen election? Or Joe Biden being corrupt? Yours is just ianother conspiracy allegation. On what issues did Biden reverse himself in a way I couldn't be explained by ordinary electoral politics? Whereas Trump's enthusiastic embrace of the H-1B program is a reversal that goes to the heart of what MAGA is all about. I reversal of how he characterized the H-1B program previously.
  17. Swarming with deep state assets? You should be posting this in the fiction forum. These rioters attacked the Constitutionally mandated transfer of power. The heart of a democratic republic.
  18. And how were those high costs different from those plaguing both developed economies and most of the rest of the world? Is it your contentionr that Joe Biden's policies were responsible for that too? Sensible people would look for a common cause. Like a gap between supply and demand due to covid. But apparently, covid only works as a reason and excuse for America's poor economic performance during the last year of the Trump administration As for employment figures, were they overstated during the Trump administration, too?
  19. In what criminal court proceeding was Bill Clinton found to be guilty of perjury? Nor did the Senate vote tdidn't result in him being removed from office.
  20. Are you actually claiming that the House Democrats didn't issue that report? Is that all you've got? You've got nothing.
  21. Right wingers have offered such a huge smorgasbord of candidates, many of them being actual people, that it's impossible for me to choose
  22. If gophers were allowed to vote and voted the way their states did, it would have been a popular vote landslide for Trump.
  23. Bipartisan? It is to laugh. , This is the report of the Republican majority and it's agitprop. Look at the headlines they quote in this report. All right wing media. House Democrats release new report defending Mayorkas against GOP's "sham" impeachment effort Washington — House Democrats released a report on Monday defending Defense Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas against an impeachment effort they call a "politically motivated sham" aimed at appeasing the far right. In their 29-page report, which comes ahead of a House Homeland Security Committee vote on a resolution to impeach the cabinet secretary set for Tuesday, Democrats on the committee argued that the impeachment effort is a "total waste of time," stating that it fails to outline any charge that constitutes treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors — the constitutional basis for impeachment. "We don't see the high crimes and misdemeanors standard being met," Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the top Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee, said in a news conference on Monday. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/house-democrats-report-alejandro-mayorkas-gops-sham-impeachment/ And if that's not enough, how many Democrats supported the recommendation to impeach Mayorkas? The House voted along party lines last night to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. https://www.npr.org/2024/02/14/1231326417/house-alejandro-mayorkas-impeachment-george-santos-special-election Too funny.
  24. European stocks and currencies rallied sharply on Monday after the Washington Post reported U.S. tariffs might be less aggressive than President-elect Donald Trump has previously threatened, injecting optimism into regional markets. Trump's aides are exploring tariff plans that would be applied to every country but only cover critical imports, the Washington Post reported on Monday. The discussions centre on imposing tariffs only on certain sectors deemed critical to national or economic security, the report said, citing three people familiar with the matter. https://archive.ph/eeSmu#selection-1407.27-1419.179 If this is true, it may possibly be due to the Trump Whisperer: Elon Musk
