    Typical response from a racist pompous jerk who finds his entertainment getting attention from his circle jerk of racist homophobic bigot friends. I've never considered anything you or your friends post as intellectual. Slander, bullying, and degrading women is far from intellectual. Good riddance to you, and your little circle jerk boys club. You guys are like middle school boys begging for attention, but the only attention you get is from each other. Proud Boys united. Heil Trump! Put on your tin foil hats, fight the truth, and embrace QAnon and anti-science.

    You said "data'. I said "data". If you have something specific in mind, you might want to specify. I googled your term and that is what came up.

    Like I said, Ukraine is a corrupt country and opinions are divided.

    You can fabricate your condemnations (if he really cared about the nation...) to your heart's content.

    The president has authority to de-classify most documents if they are not protected by statute. At any rate, your layering of a treasonous motivation seems ludicrous.

    OK if I use "listless" instead of "sleepy"? I didn't realize that Trump had popularized the word.

    I was against Trump's push for the recount, but I can completely understand his surprise at the outcome. I'm no fan of his but, yes, I will vote for Trump over Biden if it comes down to that. If it does, both parties should be ashamed.

    How can an opinion be a lie? Lax immigration is in large part about grooming future voters for the Democratic Party.

    An Executive Order that was drafted an never issued. You can revel in your conspiracies. I'm not particularly interested in helping Trump but nor am I interested in fostering extreme conspiracy theories. There is a pathway to throw the election to the legislatures. It was Trump's only hope, I guess, so he went for it.

    Democrats have done it, too, though not in the exact same fashion nor have they pushed as hard.

    Trump had to overcome the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, and the Mainstream Media to become President. Hard to blame him for being a little paranoid about the voting processes. Like I said, I hope we're done with him.

    BTW, my comment about illegal immigrants and voting was more of a broad indictment and not a comment about the 2020 election per se.

    It was his nickname for Joe Biden. It's well-known enough to have its own Wikipedia page.

    There is a difference at being surprised and being accepting. Trump's personality cannot accept losing. This goes back to his days in business. It's more than a brand, it's his ethos. He was within his rights to request recounts and take the issue to court. It's telling that none of his lawyers repeated his lies about voting in front of judges who could've penalized them for lying in court.

    I agree that a Biden v Trump rematch would be a sorry state of affairs. But I cannot in good conscience ever support a candidate who sought to undo the election to the point of repeatedly pressuring his vice president to overthrow the law, coerce state leaders to "find" votes for him and help enact him president against the will of the people. If Joe Biden did this against, let's say, Tim Scott or Ron DeSantis, I would actually have to vote for the Republican against all of my better judgment. Nothing matters more to the health of the country than having leaders who are willing to lose and cede power when they do. That is not Donald Trump. You've got to be willing to "take the L" in a democracy and the GOP, under the continued leadership of Donald Trump, cannot do that.

    It wasn't phrased as an opinion, so I apologize for using the word "lie". However, there's no evidence for this; there are no laws that all illegal immigrants to vote, there's no bipartisan appetite for immigration reform, and there's no indication that Hispanics are monolithically supportive of Democrats. Trump's election gains among Hispanic voters in 2020 show that both sides are wrong to assume things about this demographic.

    I'd argue that lax immigration enforcement is more complicated than a conspiracy theory about Democrats wanting to "groom" future voters. We all like cheap stuff: cheap food, cheap construction, cheap lawn care, cheap janitorial services, cheap hotels, etc. The underbelly of the service industry is powered by illegal immigration. Even the most socially conservative die-hard Republican donor would probably not like to see what happens to their bottom line if they lost their cheap, clandestine labor force.

    Trump and team actually called Homeland security to ask about seizing the machines. Democrats did not ever seek to switch legit votes for congressional role call.

    She is more qualified than Trump...that is for sure. However, when you have the entire GOP machine, including faux news, trying to amplify your missteps...it makes her look worse. The good thing she has taken a low profile to learn how to deal with higher profile. I guarantee that she is learning from Biden.

    The best quote about being the vice president came from Texas' own John Nance Garner when he described the office as "not worth a bucket of warm piss"

    Kamala Harris stated on July 31, 2023 in an interview with ABC News: “There are polls that also say I have great approval ratings.”
    No recent public poll shows Kamala Harris with ‘great approval ratings’


    https://www.politifact.com/factchec...ent-public-poll-shows-kamala-harris-with-gre/

    excerpt:

    Our ruling
    Harris said, "There are polls that also say I have great approval ratings."

    The most recent poll in which more people approved than disapproved of Harris’ performance was more than 100 publicly released polls ago, in October 2021. Her FiveThirtyEight average is hovering at about 12 points underwater, and hasn’t been less than 9 points underwater during the past 18 months.

    We rate the statement False.​
