Thanks for the advice. Any insights on what my ailment(s) may be?

No, sorry. If you want a leader don't go to a carnival barker, if you want mental health care advice don't ask a non-professional.

Child Psychology says that if you want to teach a child something, you have to tell them three times.

 

Not trying to insinuate anything, nor offer up any kind of cheap-shot insult.

 

But I do wonder, if you got banned three times for "misinformation" ......... did you learn anything?

 

Did it ever occur to you that if someone went to the trouble of banning you on three separate  occasions for "misinformation"......... that maybe it IS misinformation?

 

Three times seems to be the magic number for teaching kids. What magic number does it take for YOU to learn?

Mainly because there's a difference in value placed on verifiable facts and hard evidence. Some people here wonder why others are drawn by conspiracy theories. It shouldn't be so surprising I guess because religious people have jumped that shark already.

Gentleman, as usual the nuanced depth and intelligence of your analyses, your grasp on reality and its intricacies have blown me away. I leave an enriched man, as always.

As a Mental Health professional I would tell you to steer clear of both parties if I were you.  Then instead if getting wrapped in the lies spouted by the Donald, take a round the world cruise to see that the earth is not flat. Then and only then look from outside of the box you have been sitting in and look at the folks inside your box for a true perspective. Just a thought.

No they are possible if the facts being presented on the subject are not a false narrative and misleading.

Worse, this newspaper belongs to Rupert Murdoch.  If you can't trust a Rupert Murdoch news outlet to be unbiased, who can you trust?  

 

For the Fox News fans, that's sarcasm.  I'm not sure you can recognize it.  Rupert Murdoch takes the ratings obsessed infotainment called cable news and manipulates it to play king-maker in politics.  He still does, but you only recognize it when you disagree with his choice of king.

i would suggest that it was mainly Murdoch who made Trump and he can also break him, like he did in Australia with PM Whitlam

.  

"Kill Whitlam."

 

"This was the confidential instruction for a political hit job issued by Rupert Murdoch to his editors'

 

"The target was Australia's Prime Minister Gough Whitlam"

 

'Ten months after that "Kill Whitlam" directive, the prime minister was dismissed by the governor general of Australia'

Please provide one single shred of evidence that the tampering of the votes keeps happening. So far, almost all of the voter fraud in the 2020 election was done by Republicans.

I could provide you with a dozen shreds of evidence, but you would dismiss them all.  You don't like Trump and that's OK... But if you think the person we have as President now is better, there's something wrong with you.

I am sure that all your links will be verifiable or not.

I agree with Bild766 above: either put up or shut up. And how do you know I would dismiss all the evidence you have? Just because I don’t like Trump? Real men (and women, for that matter) are not afraid to admit it when they were wrong about something and review their point of view. It’s called increased or advancing insight.
That’s the difference with all those extremists who keep screaming at the top of their lungs that they are right, even though facts and evidence would suggest they are very wrong. But I’m guessing that you and I have quite different interpretations of what facts and evidence really are.

The New York Post is having a field day, or rather, field week.  Murdoch is sending a pretty clear message to the loser.  A few days ago, they had a full "Trumpty Dumpty" front page, which was posted on here, and then, two days ago, before Trump came out with this, they ran a piece speculating on just what his "big announcement" would be:

 

 

Trump begging Jared, Ivanka to join him for campaign launch: sources (nypost.com)

 

I think Murdoch's abuse of news outlets to promote Faux News is appalling, made more so by his success in using his media empire to play king-maker, or more often, king-slayer. 

 

That being noted, I look forward to the Murdoch Media vs Trump battles that are about to ensue.

Trump's paymaster

 

Since Trump left office, entities controlled by the Saudi government, a repressive regime responsible for the murder of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, have sent billions to Trump and his family members. 

Trump's candidacy for president raises the prospect of a major party nominee that is on the payroll of a foreign government.

Maybe the Trump fan boys here can learn a thing or two from this video: “Donald Trump failed America!”

Should, but the tampering with the votes keeps happening.  In order for Trump to win, the voting has to be fair.  

Funniest post in the thread!  Thanks, made my day.

By running for president he can write off his entire lifestyle as campaign costs.  He can also keep hitting up his supporters for more $$$.

It is being reported that the Dems have spent TEN TIMES more on the midterms than the GOP.  So I'm wondering if they are running low on $$$ (it seems they are always coming up with fundraising events) or they didn't want to spend it on their orange headache.  DT has picked their pockets by instructing his followers to send donations to HIM, not the RNC. 

As of yet there has been no report of RNC support for the sore losers, my guess is they are not going to be drawn into the legal expenses like they were with the former president's stolen election claims, which put quite a dent in their coffers.

You're on -- bring it!  It's ok to start with just the first half dozen.

But also tell why each hasn't held up in court.

And yet somehow Trump's legal team couldn't find any of them. Or maybe what you have is not shreds of evidence but evidence that's been shredded.

Do you sell pillows by any chance?  Your claims of having non-existent evidence sounds vaguely familiar. 

[ballpoint]

Given the adverse response the Trump effect had on the midterms for the Republican Party, it's now quite simple to tell who's a Republican supporter and who's a Trump supporter.  And it would seem we have a number of the latter on this forum.  For a while it could have been argued that they were one and the same, but definitely not now.

    Yes, let's see the dozen.  I want to see solid, reputable, verified data that clearly shows the election was 'stolen' from Donald Trump in 2020.   Have at it.

The clue was out there.

 

The Trump supporters have been calling old school Republicans ‘RINO’.
