A poster I have set to ignore is currently the most recent commenter in 10 different threads. Sounds like a breakdown.

Probable timeline of a Biden exit if elected?
Kemp replied to RochesterRob's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Since you are certain, perhaps we could work out a wager? -
Thanks for your great knowledge on writing. I have made my living as a writer. The bottom line remains that this anticipated blockbuster is a whole bunch of nothing, so far, and it's getting late in the game. Don't despair, though. Big news coming on Hillary's emails. If only she was running for President.
-
After everything you've seen, expecting Republican Senators to become honorable sounds far-fetched to me, especially if they lose their seats. They will dispute their losses just like Trump will.
-
Once Barrett's in, it won't matter what Roberts wants.
-
All those Trump judges have been put in place for a reason.
-
We disagree. I hope I'm wrong.
-
It would be great for the country, but hardcore Trumpers want no part of that and they now represent the majority of Republican voters. The Republican Party of 4 years ago, is gone. It may come back. It might not.
-
The Republican Party no longer exists, no matter how this plays out. They will try to resurrect it, but I think it's too late. They will either be forced to be remade as the Trump Party or fail to exist. When faced with that choice, they will become the party of Trump.
-
I hope you're right, but I sincerely doubt it.
-
There is nothing in the Constitution about postponing an election. She's supposedly an Originalist. If she goes on to say that a President can delay an election, she will be an activist judge, something Republicans supposedly are 100% against. Who's shocked? Absolutely no one.
-
Senator Mike Lee said it would be wrong to pack the court, because there should be 9 justices. Four years ago, when there were 8, he wasn't bothered by that. Hypocrisy has become the daily norm of the Republicans.
-
Funny that Barrett isn't sure whether a President can postpone an election. I thought she's supposed to be an originalist. Maybe some of the time?

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Kemp replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
https://patch.com/us/across-america/stimulus-talks-stall-confirmation-hearing-underway-blog Nice job, Trump supporters. You're real patriotic. Nice job, Rudy. Try to murder as many as you can. At the event in Northeast Philadelphia, Giuliani spoke off the cuff about issues such as the Democratic Party being “controlled” by Black Lives Matter and what he described as the president’s outstanding handling of the “Chinese Communist virus.” “People don’t die of this disease anymore,” he said, adding that Democrats were overblowing COVID because they wanted to frighten people. Coronavirus cases are on the rise again in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. There have been more than 214,000 reported coronavirus deaths in the United States. -
You've shown you can't refute the facts so I suppose you had no choice other than to venture into the absurd.
-
I didn't expect serious answers. I wasn't disappointed. Back to the topic, for a sec. If Biden wins and Trump disputes it without proof, will you back Trump? Don't answer. We already know the answer. People who support criminals are garbage.

Is today National Non-Sequitur day?

You didn't answer my 1st question. You ignored my question as to why there are so many connections to Russia among Trump associates. You think it's a series of coincidences? Don't be afraid to answer. Remember when he said he only hires the best people? Roger Stone-Convicted of a crime Paul Manafort-Convicted of a crime. Michael Cohen-Convicted of a crime Michael Flynn-Convicted of a crime. Rick Gates-Convicted of a crime. George Nader-Convicted of a crime George Papadapoulus-Convicted of a crime Most of those above were charged in things involved with Russia. More coincidences? He wouldn't answer questions in an investigation where he did nothing wrong? Innocent people aren't afraid of testifying. Why do you believe that despite being subpoenaed, some refused to testify? like who specifically? Barr, Stone, McGahn, Hicks, etc,. Do you have any idea what you're talking about at all? You don't care that Trump believes the dictaor, Putin, instead of his own employees. You don't care that Trump is hiding something from the American government and people. Is it because you are Russian? You didn't answer why Trump wouldn't reveal his taxes. Why? You didn't answer why Trump won't reveal his medical records.Why? Yes, there's only one video of Trump belittling someone with a handicap. How many videos would it take to bother you? Trump has told only small, hyperbolic lies? Really? Some small lies he's told: In the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, in which 17 people were killed, Trump cast his mind back to the 2016 mass shooting in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. “You take Pulse nightclub,” he said during a televised meeting with members of Congress. “If you had one person in that room that could carry a gun and knew how to use it, it wouldn’t have happened, or certainly to the extent that it did.” In fact, a uniformed and armed off-duty police officer, with 15 years experience with the Orlando Police Department, was working security that night. He exchanged gunfire with the perpetrator. Despite the bravery of Officer Adam Gruler, and the quick response of his colleagues, 49 people were killed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Speaking at a rally just over a week after a series of terrorist attacks in Paris and its surrounds left 131 people dead, Trump told the crowd: “Hey, I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering.” He repeated his comments during an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week”: “I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down, as those buildings came down. And that tells you something. It was well covered at the time, George. Now, I know they don’t like to talk about it, but it was well covered at the time. There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population, that were cheering as the buildings came down. Not good.” As the Washington Post pointed out at the time, the exchange demonstrates the difficulty of fact-checking Trump. The police said it didn’t happen, yet he insisted he saw it. Despite extensive examinations of news reports, no visual evidence has ever been found to support the claim. Curiously, there are also no examples of Trump expressing this opinion at the time of the attacks or at any stage before the rally. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The President has recognized that an anti-abortion stance plays well with his voting base. Addressing a rally in Green Bay, he told the crowd that with late-term abortion “the mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby, they wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby”. Late-term abortions are rare and generally only occur due to a threat to the mother’s life or if the child has fatal abnormalities. Where a baby is born, and dies due to severe abnormalities, parents and doctors make a decision whether to resuscitate or not. This is not the execution of a healthy, or even viable child. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 1.4 per cent of abortions occur after 21 weeks (out of a standard 40-week pregnancy). According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, less than one per cent of abortions occur in the third trimester and almost exclusively occur in the most extreme situations. “Allowing to die does happen,” said Arthur Caplan, a bioethicist at New York University Langone Medical Center, but “very rarely — say, a baby born with no lungs at 20 weeks”. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A year into his presidency, Trump told a West Palm Beach crowd: “You know, one of the things that people don’t understand — we have signed more legislation than anybody. We broke the record of Harry Truman.” Not quite. According to govtracks.us, the President actually passed the least amount of legislation in the first year of anyone elected to the office since World War II. Trump signed off on 96 laws in the period, while Truman racked up 126 in his first 100 days alone. John F Kennedy takes the record at the one-year mark with 684 signed bills. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trump’s vitriol should have been directed at his own administration when he tweeted: “Put pressure on the Democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from there [sic] parents once they cross the Border into the US.” He was still peddling this lie a year later. In an interview on Telemundo in June, he claimed: “When I became president, President Obama had a separation policy. I didn’t have it. He had it. I brought the families together. I’m the one that put them together.” There was no specific law under the Democratic administration of Barack Obama to separate children from their parents. It did occur occasionally when the parents were charged with a crime and placed in custody, due to a policy of not imprisoning children. However, illegal immigrants were rarely prosecuted and instead held in family detention centres under Obama, while under Trump the Homeland Security Department now refers all illegal border crossings for prosecution. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following his against-the-odds win in the 2016 presidential election, Trump tweeted: “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” The Electoral College result was a resounding win, but not a landslide. In fact, the margin of victory ranked just 46th out of 58 presidential elections. Trump had 56.9 per cent of the college. Washington had 100 per cent twice, Ronald Reagan picked up 97.6 per cent, and even fellow impeachment-target Richard Nixon garnered 96.65 per cent of votes. In terms of the popular vote, by the official results the President lost by just under three million to Hillary Clinton, the largest margin of any presidential election ever. There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, certainly not to the extent of explaining such a deficit. Trump even established the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, chaired by Vice President Mike Pence, but it was unable to confirm any irregularities and was disbanded before it could hand down such a finding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The most significant legislative success of the current administration was the passing of US$1.5 trillion in tax cuts, which among other things lowered company tax rates from 35 per cent to 21 per cent, and reducing the alternative minimum tax, which is designed to guarantee that high-income earners with significant deductions still pay a minimum amount of tax. Trump, the only modern president not to have released his tax returns, told reporters that his plan was for the working people and not people like him. “No, I don’t benefit. I don’t benefit. In fact, very, very strongly, as you see, I think there’s very little benefit for people of wealth.” The President expanded in a speech in St Charles on November 29: “This is going to cost me a fortune, this thing — believe me. Believe me, this is not good for me.” Without access to Trump’s tax returns it is impossible to know exactly how the tax cuts would affect him — maybe he’s about to declare bankruptcy, as he has six times in his business dealings. Writing the day after his original claim, a New York Times analysis found: “President Trump could cut his tax bills by more than $1.1 billion, including saving tens of millions of dollars in a single year.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mexico will pay for the wall that still hasn't been built. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He will have a great health plan for America. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He will have a huge infrastructure bill, etc,. etc,. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trump didn't say that the only way Biden can win is if it's crooked? He didn't refuse to say he would abide by a peaceful transition if he lost? Have you ever even visited reality? Noted that you avoided dealing with two questions in regards to Trump being a con artist. Not even Trump supporters can attempt to refute that. Crimes he has committed (You can stop waiting) The Emoluments Clause Stealing from charity Stealing from emplotees Stealing from contractors By refusing to testify and blocking others from testifying, he has postponed the ineviatable, but that dam will break soon enough. Unless he becomes America's official dictator. If he does, you will be one of the ignorant who supports his putting you under his thumb.

He raised my taxes. His inability and lack of desire to address the virus helped kill a friend of mine. He is currently involved in dismantling the democracy in my country. Under him, violence is soaring. Stop me when you've heard enough.
