To insinuate that it's Trump's fault couldn't be more disingenuous.  It's such an outrageous claim that few would even consider it.  I doubt that even hard core far left libs believe it.

 

Well, you don't believe anything it Trump's fault anyway, so no biggy.

If you're referring to the Israel and Bahrain/UAE "peace" deals, you're greatly overstating what was really accomplished.  As even a novice Mideast observer will tell you, there really can't be a "peace deal" if the Palestinians are not involved.  Trump (and Kushner) took the easy way out simply for political expediency.  Knowing Kushner, there was probably some personal financial benefit.  So in essence, Kerry was right.    

 

[But though Trump described the agreements as peace deals, the reaction from Palestinians was a stark reminder that the agreements are not seen as such by many in the region.]

[The pacts have been criticized by Iran, Turkey and Qatar. The biggest Gulf power, Saudi Arabia, has remained silent, leading to speculation that the kingdom quietly approves of the agreements but is reluctant to openly support them.]

Even at snopes they quote it like this:

 

Stone: I don’t want to overplay the facts here, but if someone will study the president’s authority in the Insurrection Act and in his ability to apply — impose — martial law if there’s widespread [inaudible, might be “cheating”], he will have the authority to arrest Mark Zuckerberg, to arrest Tim Cook, to arrest the Clintons, to arrest anybody else who can be proven to be involved in illegal activity. 

 

Sounds like he is saying that someone should study if the President has Authority under the Insurrection act to impose martial law IF there is widespread [sic] cheating, to arrest anyone PROVED involved in illegal activity.

 

From Roger Stone legal expert in a call in show. Are you worried about this seriously???

 

So let's get this straight - HRC saying Biden should wait until his loss in confirmed before conceding is somehow very bad, and dangerous to boot. But Stone (regardless of your waffle) musing about Trump declaring martial law on some trumped up charges, is perfectly legit. About as hypocritical as expected.

 

Oh, and I wasn't 'worried' about Stone's comments. I brought them up to show that people on either side say things, and the reactions are based totally on partisanship. Thanks for helping me make that point.

Russiagate was the attempt to prevent a Trump presidency or, in the event he became President, remove him from office.  A rejection of the 2016 election results.

 

The Mueller probe was that portion of Russiagate to be used as the vehicle to remove Trump from office.

 

The sham impeachment was another attempt to remedy the results of the 2016 election.

 

These are some of the events which were efforts to overturn the will of the people and remove a sitting president because the Dems rejected the 2016 election results.

 

These are not my opinions.  These events actually transpired.

There is an obvious difference between someone directly disputing election results and an assertion that certain actions were undertaken due to the unstated motive of disputing election results. The thing about imputing unstated motives is that there's no way of proving or disproving such an assertion. All it does is further establish proof of your political biases.

For four years the Dems have rejected the results of the 2016 election (while simultaneously and hypocritically aghast that Trump would even ponder it) and have done everything within their power, legally or illegally, to subvert that election result.  Four years on and their entire campaign for the 2020 election is focused on one issue and one issue only . . . to remove President Trump.

 

Anyone actually believing that they would be voting for Biden are deluded.  For it will be President Harris in very short order.  Under no circumstances would I want a Harris presidency.

 

Vox - Kamala Harris’s decline in the polls, explained

 

She had a single high point during her candidacy yet within 5 months of that she was polling in single digits and dropped out.  The Dems rejected her then but will vote for her now.  Why?  Doesn't matter who it as as long as they can remove President Trump.

Only in Trump supporters' minds does the opposition not rolling over equate with 'rejected the results'. In effect, the results were acknowledged, accepted and the transition of power executed. The same things Trump now refuses to commit to, by the way.

 

Only in Trump supporters minds the President and his administration are immune from criticism, censure or investigations. Granted, when the Republicans were in a position to do so, no issues from the usual suspects (for reference, look up Benghazi). As for Democrats doing something illegal - do tell, or better yet, don't - if all you've got is the usual mumbo jumbo made out of insinuations and conspiracy theories.

 

You could, of course, continue to ignore that the Democratic Party got a platform, and that it is publicly available (linked even on this topic, surely on previous ones). But even if this was just about Trump - it's enough for some.

 

The nonsense about Harris replacing Biden is another Trump campaign talking point, not supported by anything much. By the same reasoning one could posit Pence will take over from Trump.

 

As for Harris's support - is this another case where you trust polls and such when results fit your narrative?

Of course they had to formally acknowledge and accept it by executing the transition of power.  They had no choice.  Duh.

 

I can't speak for other Trump supporters but I've never objected to valid criticisms.  That doesn't mean I won't rail against unwarranted, baseless, or fabricated criticisms.  You might mistake the difference but I won't.

 

As to the Dem platform, granted it's published, I sincerely doubt Biden could recite even a portion of it.  I highly doubt he created and wrote the platform.  On the other hand Trump needs no teleprompter or even written notes to tell you exactly where he wants to take the country on any given issue.

 

Biden's losing it.  That's plain fact.  There are too many videos out there to post evidencing it.  We have evidence of Biden reading off the teleprompter and speaking the instructions.  We have multiple videos in which he completely loses his train of thought.  Don't know what to tell you if you don't want to acknowledge evidence that everyone has been witnessing with their own eyes.  You won't convince me to refute what my eyes are seeing.  Try someone else.

 

Given Biden's deterioration the Dems would most certainly pull the plug if he were to lose it on national security issues.  Harris would replace him.  How soon that would be would be anyone's guess but it depends on how rapid Biden's deterioration becomes.

 

I don't need to trust the polls that said Harris was polling in single digits.  She dropped out.  Whatever her true polling numbers were the fact that she dropped out is evidence enough that they had to have been dismal.  That's only common sense.  C'mon, man.

 webfact "The president has maintained a respectful demeanor in his remarks about Ginsburg since her death, but he has drawn criticism from Democrats for not honoring her wish, reportedly dictated in a statement to her granddaughter, that she be replaced by the next president".

This was the webfact I was quoting above!

Stop deflecting this fact

The Constitution doesn't give make a wish references in its text to dems and scj  especially on their death bed! The left would have you believe your President should appease these  ridiculous wishes .

The constitution says the office  nominates!

The tradition has been honored for centuries!  !

How many SCJ wishes on their  death bed  have been appeased  by passed president opposition party lol

If you got a problem like these disrespectful jeering hecklers, vote him out . Would you go to a wake and jeer publicly!

Above is the last paragraph in the article. About sums it up perfectly. But for one thing. This last wish was the result of her not retiring after Obama, in the hopes that Hillary would become President, and she would then step down giving her the Supreme Court pick. Hillary lost. So - she remained on the Court hoping she would outlast Trump. She did not. Supreme Court Justices do not get to pick their successor, a fact that RBG obviously new very well. To hurl insult at the President of the United States while he pays his respects? Disgusting absolutely disgusting. Anything for power it seems.

RBG wish was only that a choice not be made before the election. Rather consistent with the Republican stance when President Obama nominates Merrick Garland whose nomination Mitch  McConnell (R-KY) refused to allow to be brought to the Senate.

But you said we know where Trump stands on the issues. We don't on this one. ANd it wasn't just a campaign. He has repeatedly promised to come up with a health insurance plan. He has repeatedly claimed that he already has one. The last time he made such a promise he claimed that it would be ready in 2 weeks. The 2 weeks was up august 1, 2020.
