A blow to her head? Body found under his desk? Left Congress suddenly? Big topic of discussion in Florida...and, he’s a Nut Job (with bad ratings). Keep digging, use forensic geniuses!

Trump Calls For Investigation Into Joe Scarborough For Murder of Staffer in 2001 https://thedcpatriot.com/trump-call...oe-scarborough-for-murder-of-staffer-in-2001/

We can expect him to JAQ about the Clintons and Vince Foster any time now.
 
This hugging, wearing, squatting upon and humping of the flag is one of a number of backward, even primitive aspects of America that baffle the world--or at least the civilized parts:

- "Mah gunz!"
- "Mah freedumb!"
- "No commie Metric system!"
- "No commie health care!"
- "No tax!"
- "No welfare!"

I know it's not a majority in all instances who decry progress. But enough do, and one of the two political parties is all to happy to pander to them. To the point of installing such a laughable clown to cry over as Trump to represent them on the world stage. How far has fallen a once great nation. I fear it will require at least a generation to get past this episode of depravity. The young must be the vanguard that holds at bay the nihilistic impulses of the older cohort that fears the diminution of whiteness. Keeps in check the hypocritical, anti-Christian "Christians" who would sell their souls for power to oppress the majority. Brings to heel the unfettered greed of the monied class, for whom lust after the almighty dollar eclipses every notion of contribution to the common good.

Not really, no. In fact, in a saner time (1970, and it's hard to imagine calling the year of Vietnam and Kent State "saner," but there ya go), Richard Nixon got lambasted for suggesting that Charles Manson, then on trial, was "guilty, directly or indirectly, of eight murders without reason." And now we have a President openly accusing a political foe of a murder, with no evidence and for no other reason than (IMO) as a distraction for his mouth-breather die-hard constituency.

The ironic thing is that Nixon's basic complaint, in context, was the way the media was portraying Manson as a "rather glamorous figure"- IOW, "fake news." And Trump, of course, while complaining endlessly about "fake news," is busily manufacturing some to keep the focus off of his own manifold (and manifest) failings.

:thumbsup:

Trump wants to Make America Great Again but I find his entire presidency and those who support him (overwhelmingly GOP) are doing the exact opposite. I'm hoping that this is the extreme end of the swinging pendulum and it will now start to swing the other way.

His base is a collective example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

This is like a bad dream. Even for trump this is hard to believe. One of the accusers has written:
"What might a young woman have heard in a Republican office 2 months before 9/11? What if she learned something she wasn’t supposed to?"

Almost impossible to believe even trump could go off the rails like this. Hillary belongs in jail. China developed the coronavirus. Which one of trump's sons says is a hoax that will disappear if Joe Biden gets elected. Obama committed the worst political crime in history. Joe Scarborough murdered a staffer. This whackjob might say anything. Where are the men in white coats when we need them? This has got to stop. We can't go on like this. Can we? :(

We have no choice but to. We have to hang on. We have to outlive this insanity.

It's basically everything we spent years warning about in the conspiracy theories forum. Widespread belief in CTs is corrosive to democracy. How can a CTist even conceive of voting for one side, when they really believe they're a bunch of murdering psychopaths who have kiddie sex dungeons in the basement of a pizza parlor? How can a non-CTist even conceive of voting for a party that actively promotes those kinds of nonsense beliefs? How do you debate with someone who turns around and spouts brand new nonsense every day? How do you debate with someone who thinks you're crazy and/or fatally stupid?


Politics is the art of compromise. How can there be a compromise when there's no middle ground between crazy and sane?

I had a Silverado for a while. It had fuel lines, hydraulic lines, even some water lines. But I don't think it had any blood lines.

I've never owned a Ford, so I don't know about them.

A certain 1958 Plymouth Fury had bloodlines.
Christine!

Well sure, but ... you know ... Plymouth.

What can you expect?

Because they don't really believe it. The CT stuff is just fodder for demonizing the enemy.

What they really believe is that if Democrats get into power they will be forced to consider the needs of others, a fate far worse than being raped and murdered.

It can be done, but first you have to understand the real issues. It's not the CTs, they are just a means to an end.
 
How can all of you be so certain that there isn't a Deep State, pedophile network of Satan-worshipping cannibals?

The trouble with this is that it's a national poll vs state polls. As we learned in 2016, the majority of Americans may vote for Biden, but it's those swing states that decide who's elected.

Yup, but it would be very hard to make up a nationwide 8% deficit into an victory in the EC. Not impossible I guess, but the combination of narrow wins in swing states and a blodbath everywhere else is pretty unlikely.
 
And it seems strange that Obama WASN'T in the While House during the 9/11 attacks.
