You might be right. I think there are probably a few things that cost him, all contributing. From CV-19 ineptitude to attacking McCain in AZ continuously to being a douche bag.

I will say that Trump did himself no favors by not commenting more strongly when the George Floyd incident occurred. Frankly his weak response made a terrible situation worse, and was a contributing factor to all the protests. Which of course he tried to play a military response.

In the end it probably motivated more people to go out and vote against Trump, than for Biden.

They're soooo bad at this!

One thing I will give trump and his cult: they have given comedians around the world endless material to use.

Her pettiness rises to a whole new level.

Is that the same press secretary that once said, she'd never lie to us?

Don’t trust a liar that tells you they don’t lie.

More conservative tears... too many posts by lefties... Boo hoo

And Fox News is already spilling propaganda on how Biden is going to take away guns raise taxes on the middle class and defund police as if it’s gospel now. Poor Babies.

An Honest man will never tell you he's honest.

A Truth teller will never tell you he doesn't/won't lie

Actions speak louder than words...

Too many posts by "Lefties" because the Trump Supporters wont come out and state whether they believe the election was stolen - without any evidence.... and they won't come out and state that Trump got crushed.

I guess this forum is going to be pretty quiet the next four years.

It's such a shame.

Licking each others' -wounds over at Parler... where all the men are strong, all the women are good looking and subservient, and Donald Trump won the election... "by a lot."

I do wish 40 would come back.

I don’t. He’s a troll. He played within the rules well enough to not be tossed, but he was still a troll. He’s the only poster I’ve ever blocked. He wrote nothing of substance, ever. It was a waste of my time to read his nonsense.

Putin has reassigned him to another message board.

Just kidding

I agree other than I didn't block him and because he was so obviously trolling I never expected him to write anything that related to reality.

What a pile of lying BS. You kept urging 40 to make a wager that if Trump lost the election, 40 would quit posting on this board forever and vice versa...and you kept reminding him of your offer, again and again, and again.

He wants him back to gloat.

I want him back. I've always liked him even when I hate him.

I believe you...you've always been upfront about your feelings!

Yep, I have limited filters for that stuff. Say what's on my mind usually.

So glad the coup attempt is now over. I can finally stop pounding Trump every second of every day and get started on Biden's centrist corporatist ass. Back to normal... the same old crap that got us Trump in the first place and put us in the shape we are in... His cabinet is less than impressive and as usual, no progressives in prominent positions! Screw Biden and his horse.

Do you actually believe that he would get progressives past the Senate? I think his picks so far are solid.

40' hasn't posted in quite a while. He hasn't even responded to my PM. I sincerely hope he is OK...

Yes I think he could get them through the Senate. There is no reason to deny them that is not purely ideological. Progressives are not fascists and after what we saw Trump get approved... PUH-lease.

You forgetting about Moscow Mitch?

He is one vote, unless he denies votes on the cabinet, but I'm not sure he would go that far. But he might. Still hoping we can win the Georgia seats in January, that would take Mitch out of the driver's seat.

As Mitch goes, so goes the Senate. He rules that crowd (at least the GOP majority). I don't expect the Dems to win both seats, but it would sure be nice...

Why question a mitzvah?

So the party that wants national lockdowns, businesses destroyed, people without masks fined, houses inspected for having too many people, cops parked outside of churches and gyms to enforce compliance.. we still cool with that?


Words have no meaning any more... I would like for you to go find me the last time real fascism was removed from power because it held a fair election, and lost, then challenged it through the lawful court system, and lost... no buildings swarmed, no shots fired, no skulls cracked... just removed from power through the existing legal system while blustering like a 5 year old...

Honestly, thanks for this reply. This is what I hoped to get back to.

I know you respond in good faith. Give me the evening and I'll get back to you on this.

On


The


Floor

For what it's worth, the dems say they will respect the wishes of doctors and scientists. Dr. Fauci doesn't want lockdowns, and I'm quite sure the Dems will trust experts similar to him. Even Biden himself has said on numerous occasions he won't lock things down.



The dems have had an aid package ready since August. The GOP was too busy ignoring the majority of Americans as they thought their first package and subsequent packages needed to address the 1% more than the 99%.

In prior threads, I gave examples how the UK, Canada, Japan, and other nations have helped small business owners and employees. There's language in the package from August which covers assistance and help for workers.

Again, it's ready. The GOP became too preoccupied with a TAKE THAT on the bench, and they honestly would rather have trickle-down fallacies than actually help the majority of Americans. Now isn't the time for Reaganomics in a pandemic.



Not sure how this is much different than fines for seatbelts, enforcing speed limits, etc.

I know you understand the seriousness of this epidemic. I understand the "if we give a little..." but do understand that's encroaching on the slippery slope fallacy.



I'm only okay with this if there's a warrant and all legal processes are followed.

If others would follow rules, we wouldn't need more rules.

It's like regulations vs pure libertarian ism. People like you and me will do what's right to keep our loved ones safe. It's because of the reckless selfish individuals that we need laws, regulations, and enforcement.

Do what's right and you'll be fine.



Theoretically we have a system of checks and balances that should stop and halt and tyranny. Ultimately the stress check showed that we'll stop at trying to overthrow the will of the people this time. There's the whole bugaboo about Chads from '00, but that's a different topic for a different time.

Did our system hold an individual accountable for backdoor deals through election dirt? (Ukraine-Biden dirt) (that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader)

Did our system hold an individual accountable for 10 instances of obstruction of justice? (Mueller Report findings) (that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader)

Did our system hold an individual accountable for a baseless travel ban?(exalts nation and often race above the individual)

Did our system hold an individual accountable for ordering federal troops to clear out peaceful protestors in-front of a house of worship? (forcible suppression of opposition)

Did our system hold people accountable for the forcible removal of multiple healthy uterus from migrant women? (exalts nation and often race above the individual)

These last points you may argue "but Rocket, he got voted out...".

DC...we've been closer than a pixel of descending into fascism for awhile. The ethno-cleansing at the border and travel ban, the forceful suppression of the release of evidence of crimes, etc.
--------------------------

You should know I'm no fan of Joe. I hope you remember how critical I was of Obama.

We want the same things, DC. As I've said with Jules, we just get off a few exits apart from each other.

That system that allowed a wanna-be dictator to get way-to-close to his goal wasn't put into place overnight. Accountability has been a bad word to our governing body for FAAAAR longer than Trump was a 'thing'. And while getting Trump out was something that needed to happen, we also just elected a guy that has had a hand in crafting the system that ushered in the Trump years. Seriously, Biden has been here for 50 years.
