I would not expect you to be able to dial in, you’re emotionally stunted. Other than that carry on.

Again, at the risk of appearing rude, the question of evidence or lack thereof is best answered by you. I don’t care one way or the other what you think or feel. That’s the beauty of being an American. As for damaging the republic, I have a few thoughts on that. First, the republic is strong enough to withstand legal challenges that come with results a candidate chooses to bring. We saw that with Gore v The Republic, which ended the way it started. We saw that with Trump = Russia and all that nonsense the suckers drank in, going from “Treason!” to “If not treason then obstruction of justice in defending himself against baseless accusations!”. We saw that with Clinton’s impeachment, with the phony Trump impeachment and the Mike Flynn debacle. We saw it with the assault on decency and the SC in the Kavanaugh gearing, and the republic marched on. Now that said, there is a part of me that recognizes the brilliance of the “destroy Trump at every turn” strategy employed by the liberals for 5 years. They’ve tossed everything at him and you—the faithful— gobble it up like a Lewinsky on a presidential staff. Trump, to you folks, is everything someone could possibly be...liar cheater homophobe misogynist islamaphobe Xenophobe racist sexist Russian spy and so on. You buy it all, and while that doesn’t make you bad husbands, fathers or sons or daughters, it does make you almost impossibly gullible. We’ve got @oldmanfan lamenting his wicked life before coming to Jesus in the form of Biden like it matters at all. Anyway, understanding how emotionally pliable you sorry bastards are, they ran gamut after gamut and guess what—it worked. You voted in large numbers for a guy who eats his pudding through a straw and often has no idea who he ran against. Again, old man fan brags about voting for a ham Sammy over Trump and guess what—mission accomplished, he did. So, let’s even assume the goal is to destroy the confidence in our system and vilify the opponent in an attempt to prevail in the next election. Honestly, it seems like it was a very effective strategy employed by the Dems for 4 solid years. Trump supporters used to joke “Ah, this time you got him!” when yet another dem dirty truck campaign was introduced. On some level you have to acknowledge that for the libs, hatred sells and it resulted in a creepy old man being announced king. Maybe that is the strategy when all is said and done?

Well..Thank You?

Ah, so you’re still on the Russia Ride. I applaud your perseverance and seeing it through past the point where Heidreich Mueller und his gang of 12 tapped out. So, so much hand wringing.

I’m not the grammar police, I type quickly and auto correct rat f***s the best of us. That said, I’m not sure what your query is. Are you suggesting that I am under the illusion that DJT does not have narcissistic tendencies? I’ve never suggested that, nor do I believe that. I think it’s a job requirement at Senate level and above. Since the question of pretending appears to be projection on your part, I’ll assume we just move on.

Again, I’m always amazed at the level emotional angst of some of you folks. You can sit and watch a Tom Clancy novel play out over 4 years, be led along by your collective noses with tales of bed sheets stained by urine and clandestine meetings in plain sight in Trump freaking tower, only to be left home alone, desperate and dateless when the entire scandal breaks apart and Reinreich Mueller exposed as a guy long past his prime.... and see no problem with it. No stains on the institution, no problems with our reputation abroad, just a bunch of dummies who got skitched for 4 long years shouting RUSSIA in shrill English. On the other hand, pursuing lawful recourse breaks the whole damn thing apart in 30 days? It’s laughable. I admitted nothing, Comrade. I simply acknowledged your feelings as yours and moved on. Again, though, if you’re right, what’s the problem?

My goodness the narcissism🤣. Not you “you”, “you” the collective. Maybe you’re fine (you you, not the you collective here) and dislike the approach but are willing to see it through. People are dropping conspiracy, goal posts, 50 suits by 50 different people, and the fall of the republic. Let’s just agree to disagree and see. It. Through. The evidence submitted. Or lack thereof if you prefer. Either way, I don’t really care.

See, that’s the spirit. I really don’t know why all you folks are fussing so much. You seem to have it in the bag, but there’s an awful lot of hand wringing about things. My advice—just look at what the evidence presented is, consider whether or not it’s valid, and process accordingly. That’s what DJT supporters were forced to do for nearly 4 years. You’ll be fine, and we’ll all be better for it.

There are not 47 Trump cases, Ricky ######o. Why you let people lie to you is beyond me. All I ask for is patience as we see it through. Where is the downside? Shocking— the filter edited out a legal surname. Re Tar Do

You never trust the people in charge in any organization* when they say “No, we didn’t $&@$ up.”. We don’t allow it for Bernie Madhoff, we don’t allow it in criminal trials, and the right to adjudicate it in court is granted in the constitution even if it makes some people squishy in the shorts. *I’m speaking generally of course. We all know that creepy dudes jamming their package while going over boob/over sweater is perfectly acceptable so long as the creeper follows certain political ideaology and “owns” it.

Sure it does. Poll watchers being boxed out. Votes found as if by magic. Pipe breaks that never occurred. People encouraged to leave a polling place during as the count was proceeding. Ballots under tables. Dominion reliability. Statistical anomalies. There’s plenty to be concerned with, so just sit tight as we see it through. Faith in our system is vital, and it has been shaken though incompetence or outright fraud.

In my career, I’ve worked with multiple people arrested for embezzlement, met with 3 people ultimately convicted of murder, know a guy who “walked the yard” with John Gotti Jr, and met all sorts of other unusual and interesting folks. A guy I met on a scouts camping trip—smart guy, friendly as hell, owned his own tech company—arrested for molesting a friend of his teenage daughter at a sleepover. Nothing surprises me anymore.

That’s not entirely unpossible. 🤣

I really have no idea what @oldmanfan istrying to convey here, he’s all over the page. He’s hates Trump, yet only mildly upset at Cuomo for causing the deaths of thousands, he’s doing cartwheels and working the balance beam defending Joe Biden while acknowledging his own yet unexplained indiscretions of his past, and apparently has never heard the term gold digger, groupie, starfu**er or many others that describe a person who will allow a powerful man to do exactly what Trump said. I’ve asked many, many women about that comment from all political persuasions and universally the answer comes back “Of course there are women like that.”. Why are we pretending this way? I’m not sure how old he is but I’m beginning to think he was born in the 1630s. I’m guessing Puritan.

What is this nonsense? You’re willing to wager all you have that I was wrong on..what? Drunk driving? Skipping school? Flipping someone’s books in the hall? Seriously, what is this nonsense? If I’m reading you correctly, you’re acknowledging sexually assaulting and/or groping women? And because you lacked self-control, you think everyone did? As for apologies by Biden, this is what he said: That’s my responsibility, I think. I shake hands, I hug people, I grab men and women by the shoulders and say, ‘You can do this.’ And whether they’re women, men, young, old, it’s just the way I’ve always been. It’s the way I try to show them I care about them and I’m listening. And over the years, knowing what I’ve been through—the things that I’ve faced—I’ve found scores, if not hundreds, of people have come up to me and reached out for solace and comfort: something, anything, that might help them get through the tragedy they’re going through. And so-it’s just who I am,” he said. My goodness he seems really apologetic that he’s so comforting and people don’t understand him. 😂 If you treated women the way Biden has by groping, pawing or smelling them like they are fresh meat for the taking—-please, spare me the explanation, it’s your burden to carry, not mine. I don’t apologize for things I thought were funny when I was 17, nor do I apply the sensibilities of a 59 year old me in 2020 to a 19 year old me in 1980. It’s waste of time and effort and means nothing at all. I don’t allow someone else to tell me that “Baby it’s cold outside” is inappropriate and glorifies sexual assault while “You spin my head right ‘round” is about empowerment. Again though, if you followed a similar path as Biden—and in spite of your almost compulsive desire to defend him, I still find it hard to believe you would treat women or children that way—-random internet confessionals do no one any good at all. And I can see why you would see it that way. That’s why your support for Biden is so funny.

I voted Trump x2. Reluctantly the first time. As for outrage, Biden is who he is—a powerful man who takes liberties with the women and children whenever he can. The bigger issue I have is the men that allowed them to be groped so they could go off and brag about how close they all were to Biden. Again, it’s textbook enablement, and Biden’s explanation classic victim-shaming.

This is classic enablement behavior because you enjoy the safety of a status quo politicians. Joe Biden’s snuggly hair smelling with his body pressed firmly against any available flesh was never normal. Never. The liberties Biden took would get his ass kicked in ANY normal scenario from either of our lives, or I’ve totally misjudged who you seem to be. He’s the guy from the local plant in a position of authority that reaches in, pulls the wife close, rubs her shoulders (or worse) while whispering what he might do to her if she was of the mind. He’s the judge who offers to look the other way on a ticket in exchange for certain considerations carried out in the secrecy of a dark hallway. I was born in 1961, am the son of a woman who would jab a fingernail in that creepsters eye, married to a woman who would do the same, and raised my own daughter to recognize the power dynamic in play with this old douche. I’m 100% certain you did the same, and how you can rationalize this behavior as anywhere approaching normal for that time is absurd. Did it happen? Of course it did, but this is a far cry from normal behavior of that time, and honestly, I was taught the boundaries at a very early age. If you were wrong and felt you had to apologize, that’s on you. It may explain your rationalization that Biden’s behavior as a *&$#ing US Senator was “normal”.

I’ve come to the conclusion that you and those like you voted for the old days. You could outwardly espouse progressive ideology while staying in your bubble. When Biden ran his game on super predators, his alliance with Ted Kennedy and the good old boys network in the senate, it was perfectly ok with you—so you want more of that. You can scream about women’s rights, but the truth is groping women and children is acceptable because Biden gives you cover, and they were disposable anyways. Biden’s explanation that the victims simply misunderstood his intent when pawing them is classic victim blaming—and that works for you likely because you understand it. Wow—these are very harsh words for Cuomo. You’re en fuego.

Jesus—Cuomo only “screwed up”? My God, he’s got the deaths of tens of thousands on his hands. As I told you previously—- I’m no scientist, but I’ve known for decades that being around older people with a simple flu virus was dangerous for them. I prayed the last 10 years I wouldn’t catch a cold before visiting my mom at Thanksgiving and she was a perfectly healthy 70+ year old woman. Where the *&$# is your outrage over this a*holes actions? And you’re correct, Trump isn’t Cuomo (he actually worked diligently to get Cuomo’s ass out if the frying pan), but it’s certainly possible to despise Trump and Cuomo as well.

It’s this type of over-emotional reaction that ensures we continue to get knuckleheads and people like Biden in the senate and White House. “Only cares about himself....” so he ran for office, gained traction and presided over a roaring economy. He encouraged repatriation of money long held off shore due to onerous taxation, cut through regulation and was rewarded for his patriotism by being branded treasonous. When it became apparent the story was little more than tabloid fodder, you’d think folks that supported job creation and low unemployment but hated Trump would at least be grateful that fellow Americans had work. Nope—not the Biden boys, to you, it’s overwrought angst and handwringing must resume. Better to get back to Biden policies of old where the swamp prevailed and people knew their place. Which brings us to today. It’s obvious the mist is falling over Biden’s brain, where he’d once laugh off a misstep or inappropriate joke with a hearty laugh and a “Oh jeez, look at me” now supporters aren’t sure if it’s sarcasm, tongue in cheek or just an old guy rambling on. I think the old man lost his way in this conversation—there’s nothing remotely funny or “tongue in cheek” about a serious illness to a major political figure—that’s why no one involved laughed it off. Harris looked like she was responding to a patient with a head injury with that sympathetic nod.

You said all that needs to be said. The country might be in the mood for the old “VP disagrees with boss so naturally he gets a serious illness and resigns” gag if only we weren’t in the 11th month of death and despair. He just missed on the timing of the joke, maybe not fully briefed on the current death total. Maybe he thought we were under a hundred thousand or so—that’s when it brings the house down. The man is toast. He never had a good feel for what to say and when, but as old age has ravaged his brain, the filters are just dropping. This isn’t a joke, it’s a babbling old man. But he’s your babbling old man, so let’s pretend he just misread the crowd.

Then we agree. Thank you.

And decided to solve the problem by supporting a tired old geezer who has made a career out of things like that. Good for you.

This statement belies Biden’s commentary over nearly 50 years in public life. He’s made many, many statements like this and it cost him multiple times in multiple elections. That’s the fascinating part about watching you folks line up to worship at the altar of Bidenism—he’s always been a nitwit, he has trafficked in lies about himself, his education, the deaths of his first wife and his children, he’s made racially insensitive comments and all of that occurred before he lost several steps cognitively. A few weeks back, he thought he was running against someone named “George” and his wife had to correct him. It strikes me as odd that none of the other parties seemed to get the tongue in cheek hilarity. Harris nodded with the type of slight smile a caregiver would have when her patient confused a 2016 Honda Accord and his old 1955 Chevy, and Tapper just moved on at the very oddly placed joke/reference to a COVID-like illness. Worse, where was Biden’s acknowledgement that it was a joke? No laugh, no sly grin, just a meandering and out of context joke by a doddering old man. I remember—I remember it well and it received coast to coast coverage and was hotly debated. Thanks for acknowledging my point, even assuming it was a “tongue in cheek” joke.

This is a surprisingly tepid response from you. You’ve been quite passionate about COVID and everyone’s responsibility, yet Biden’s comments about serious illness during a time of a worldwide pandemic only rises to the level of dampening the “mood” of the country? Millions infected world wide, millions on lockdown and out of work, and your chosen candidate makes light of it all (at least from your perspective) and that’s it—-we’re not in the mood for his dark humor? Interesting.
