And Britbox, look at this breaking news. The entire Russian collusion narrative was not only a farce. It was pure projection. The Democrats were the ones getting made-up Russian dirt on Trump, not the other way around:

Am I the only one who is appalled at Trump's response to the question about a peaceful transition? I mean... this is the United States of America we're talking about here? Seriously.. what the absolute fuck?? Look... we know the Trumpists are going to support him no matter what, but for him to win independents and non-Trumpist Republicans will have to vote for him. But those comments were absolutely disqualifying. It's ironic that one of his arguments has been that Biden and the leftists will turn America into Venezuela, but seriously if voters even allow this thing to be close then Venezuelan democracy is what we'll end up with. How the fuck can Senate Republicans not speak up about this? :astonished-face: :facepalm:
It's shocking of him to say this, but it's on a continuum of where he's been going for some time, in terms of his fear that he's going to lose this election. He's talked about a 3rd term, which isn't an option. He's been setting up the notion that the mail-in ballots will be played with, even though he himself votes by mail-in, and in denial of the fact that there's no compelling evidence of voter fraud in terms of mail-ins. Of course he never addresses the disenfranchisement of people of color, which has been going on since forever. He's been planning for a post-election fight, setting it up that it could be illegitimate. Most of us know that, because of COVID, and the number of write-in ballots, there is a good chance the results won't be known night-of. Now tRump is trying to say that the Supreme Court could declare a winner immediately. No wonder he's trying to seat a new judge asap. Desperate times call for despot measures.

Right but the Democrats hiring teams of lawyers to litigate the voting process in various swing states and the Democratic governors of Michigan, Pa, and North Carolina recently extending the voting deadlines by as many as two weeks is not at all a sign of their doubts about Biden’s chances. Not at all, idiot.

And, btw, the Obama administration did not facilitate a peaceful transition of power to the Trump administration. They deliberately sabotaged the Trump administration with the bogus FBI investigation into Flynn and the Trump campaign. Obama and his cronies were working to get Trump impeached before he was even inaugurated. And now, Hillary has openly said that Biden should not concede under any circumstances.

He's talked about a 3rd term, which isn't an option.

That was a joke to taunt low-information Democrats like you, idiot.

He's been setting up the notion that the mail-in ballots will be played with, even though he himself votes by mail-in,

HE HAS DISTINGUISHED BETWEEN ABSENTEE BALLOTS AND MAIL-IN BALLOTS A MILLION TIMES. How are you this low-information? You can never properly characterize your opponent’s arguments. First you did it to McConnell on the point about divided government and now you are doing it again with Trump on the issue of mail-in ballots.

Trump has said dozens of times that he is fine with absentee ballots because the verification process for them is rigorous. He distinguishes between absentee ballots and mail-in ballots. How do you not know this? How are you that low-information?

in denial of the fact that there's no compelling evidence of voter fraud in terms of mail-ins.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?! How are you this ignorant? There are dozens of examples of fraud with mail-ins in recent years. Goodness fucking gracious. There was just an example of it today with 7 mail-in ballots for Trump being discarded. And your own church magisterium (the New York Times) even did a recent story on the disaster caused by mail-in ballots in the New York Congressional election. Do you even read your own sacred newspaper? How are you this clueless? The Democrats are clearly trying to use mail-in ballots to steal the election. Everyone can see it. And only an idiot would think the Democrats care about protecting people from Covid on Election Day; they simply want to use mail-in ballots to cheat and are using Covid as the excuse.

I could give you a list of 20 links but for now, this will suffice:

So, let me get this right (I haven't got too much time right now, but sure I'll be checking it in more detail later)...

Steele was sourcing stuff from a Russian spy who the FBI knew of since 2009.
Hillary Clinton's campaign paid Steele for a dossier on Trump.
That false dossier was fraudulently used to get FISA warrants.

Right so far?

I've just skimmed over all the stuff about internal FBI agents taking out liability insurance in case there was a future freedom of information request.

It's going to be interesting how this unfolds next week.

I've already acknowledged Trump is wrong on that issue. However, you know full well the Dems will not concede in any event, the court cases will begin and the mob will be out on the streets.
There is almost no option that the election will be decided on election night, if many vote via mail-in, due to the pandemic. You say the Dems won't concede, but neither will the Trump side. But what do you mean about a "mob" being out on the streets? What is your worry about mayhem? Because the Prez wouldn't guarantee a peaceful transition of powers? You have to admit that he's asking for trouble, given that we know this will be a longer than usual outcome, most likely. He's set up the argument for the election being jiggered, since early last Spring. He's all about setting up the base for a war if he doesn't win. Are you comfortable with that? As an outside observer?

Actually Ginsburg was not a great anything if you are talking about political impact on the world. The court is better off without her on it. She wasn't by any means a great legal mind and intellectually she was nothing special. She was just a left-wing activist on the court, which is why you like her.
This is where hiding in the shadows of the internet serves you. There is no one, even Republicans and partisans that would agree with you that Ginsburg wasn't a great legal mind, or deeply intellectual. You think that if you just keep saying stuff it means something? (And, btw, you are repeating yourself, not just in text but in links. Give it a rest. If no one cared the first time, they aren't going to care to hear you blather on the next or the next.)

RGB becomes the first woman to lie in state in the capitol, and also the first Jewish American to lie in state.


Are you as complimentary of the antebellum American South for having the first two Jewish-American Senators, Judah Benjamin of Louisiana and David Yulee of Florida, the first of whom (Benjamin) served as the Confederate Secretary of State?

Of course, I know that you didn’t even know that. But now that you do, you don’t even care. The antebellum South was a philo-Semitic society and you have never once credited it for being such. Please stop playing the Jewish card, because you don’t actually care about that. If Ginsburg was on the right, you would not slobber over her Jewishness. In fact, Kushner is Jewish and Ivanka converted to Judaism. Mnuchin is also Jewish. Have you once credited the Trump administration for its inclusiveness of Jews? We all know the answer to that one.

You also have never once credited Trump for being the most pro-Israel president or for helping Israel to forge peace agreements with the UAE and Bahrain, a feat for which he was just nominated for a Nobel Peace prize. Are you simply jealous that Obahmmy and Kerry were too incompetent to ever pull something like that off?

Yes, but that’s only the start of it. Now we have new testimony (just released this week) from an FBI agent named William Barnett who worked on Mueller’s team and says that the Special Counsel Office was just motivated by a “get Trump” attitude guided by conspiracy theories vis-a-vis Russia and had no evidence whatsoever for their contentions.

The whole Russia hoax was a lie and a sham. How stupid do Moxie and especially Tinfoil Federturd have to feel for ever defending this? They fell for a conspiracy theory the whole time. Not only was everything about Trump false, but it was the Democrats who were relying on information from a Russian spy for the dossier (Russian dirt on a political opponent) and it was Hunter Biden getting millions from the family of a Russian government official (Russian ties) and it was the Mueller team wiping 30 phones clean to cover their malfeasance (obstructing justice). They did everything they accused the Trump campaign of.

Again, how stupid do Moxie and especially Tinfoil Federturd have to feel? Moxie wasn’t as bad about it, but she still thought there was a legitimate basis for opening an investigation on the Trump campaign. The reality is there was none. One of the FBI dorks who was in on the scheme on framing Carter Page is now in jail for altering an email about Page, and it was Hillary colluding with the Russians, Hunter Biden taking Russian money, and the Mueller prosecutors destroying incriminating evidence.

Of course, the Democrats can pull this type of gaslighting off because they control most of the airwaves and their voters are dumb and ignorant.

As are you, and 99% of people in the world. But you’re just mad that those links I posted showed how wrong you are about mail-in ballots. Your very own church authority (the New York Times) just did an article less than 2 months ago about how there was massive mail-in chaos in the recent NY Congressional election, and your clueless ass didn’t even know about it. There are dozens of stories across the country about mail-in ballots causing fraud and you are downright ignorant of them. Just an ignorant Democratic Party voter. (And sorry that the news this week showed just how wrong you and others were on so-called “Russian collusion.” It turns out everything was the opposite of what the Democrats claimed.)

But, let’s drive this point home about mail-in ballots and how wrong you were. Here’s yet another example, you clueless ignoramus, with a repost of the August 3rd article from the New York Times itself about how disastrous mail-in ballots recently were:

Here you go, muh-muh-Moxie. Not only are you dead wrong on mail-in ballots, but GW law professor Jonathan Turley just said the exact same thing about McConnell’s position in 2016 versus 2020 on a Supreme Court nominee in an election year that I told you. The difference is DIVIDED GOVERNMENT between the Senate and White House. McConnell has been completely consistent on that in both 2016 and 2020.

say what you want about the NYT. I think their Opinion pages are absolute crap. But my gawd.. they can put together an investigative report. They pretty much tell us what smart folks have known for years. Trump is not a businessman. He is a failure. As he likes to say a sleepy loser. He's made suckers of his supporters.

Actually no, we don’t have to give the New York Times that credit. For one thing, they illegally obtained someone’s tax returns (if indeed they did get them and aren't simply making information up). For another, they held this story for right before the first debate to create more negative headlines against Trump, being that they are simply part of the Democratic Party apparatus. And for yet another, they completely botched the Russia collusion story, among others, and we can’t trust that they are accurately representing any information they claim to have gotten their hands on. Oh, and by the way, did you miss that his tax returns said nothing about business ties to Russia? What ever happened to the guarantees from NYT “investigators“ and their allies in the media that if only we saw Trump’s tax returns we would see massive ties between him and Russia?

Also, this “Trump only paid $750 in taxes” line is refuted by the New Slavetrader Times’ own report:

It is unlikely tonight that Chris Wallace - being that he is a registered Democrat and the most prominent celebrity Democrat (of which there are many) on Fox News - will ask Joe Biden much, if at all, about Hunter Biden's business dealings overseas, including the recently revealed $3.5 million gift from the wife of Moscow's former mayor. Trump will probably have to broach the issue and press it for it to be discussed to any significant degree. But for anyone interested, some of the info about just how corrupt the Biden crime family is can be seen in the short video below. Britbox should take an interest in it:

You seem nervous about the debates, Cali. Even having Fox News moderate isn't thumb on the scale enough for you.

I’m not nervous, lol. The Republicans haven’t been the ones trying to get the debates cancelled like Pelosi has. And if you weren’t clueless you would know that Chris Wallace is a registered Democrat and absolutely loathes Trump. He was rooting for Trump’s impeachment all throughout last fall and this January and February despite the Bidens clearly being a crime family and Trump making a complete reasonable request to the Ukrainian prime minister. What I do know for sure is that almost all of the questions will be slanted against Trump, like this: “Do you, Mr. President, feel ashamed that as president 200,000 Americans have died from coronavirus during your tenure?”

Of course Wallace will not provide any context or mention that Democratic governors managed the virus far worse and suppressed usage of hydroxychloroquine. And I doubt Trump will say anything about how the 200,000 figure is totally inflated bunk. Btw, do you as a proud “woman” agree with Rose McGowan and Tara Reade? Do you take their side?

POS Biden just played the card of caring more about the military than Trump. This is what Biden actually said about the military in 2016. So empathetic and kind of him:

People are saying Trump was too tough on Biden. I say he was too nice. Trump did a decent job but he could have offered even more devastating substance, especially on mail-in fraud. The information on it is so widespread that he should have been more prepared to provide details.
