And we probably should stop letting people over 65-70 vote. They are way too out of touch with the times, stuck in the past. JMHO.
This is a joke I hope.
He is mad because somewhere along the line he fell off the train. Heck, maybe got pushed off based on the way he talks and acts.
Wow, I laid the bate for some harsh reactions and this is the best I could get? GET OFF MY LAWN! lmao, and he still votes. I expected more. We definitely need age limits on candidates and voters. Definitely.
There should also be IQ limits. If you're too stupid to form coherent independent thoughts, you can't vote. I would LOVE that.
Actually I might go with you on IQ levels. I saw where average ACT scores are below 20 for the first time since 1990. The top score is 36.
That is what we get by lowering standards in order for large segments of our population to pass.
Lot's of dumb people in this country.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
We don't let teachers teach kids anymore. They teach test-taking. Anything beyond the public school getting its annual money from the government costs parents extra. It's a dam shame what has happened to education.

We agree. It a reason why you see more and more private schools. When I was young, a kid who went to public school, the only real private schools were the Catholic schools and a very few high priced private schools.
Now it seems about half the churches have a school of some sort and there are numerous private schools that fall in to what I call the mid priced private schools. The ones that don't cost so much that only the wealthy can afford.
I do understand that your definition of wealth and my definition are different. I am just saying they are inexpensive enough that you don't have to be the kid of some corporate CEO or the kid of a parent who owns a football team. I am talking about a kid who's parents are maybe a nurse and a shop floor supervisor. People who make very good money, but they aren't wealthy by any means.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
Religious schools only wish to use government tax dollars to indoctrinate children into religion. As for "private schools, you know, if we stopped allowing religion and for profit schools to siphon off tax dollars intended for public schools we could much better fund public schools.
It seems a lot of times private schools end up teaching anyone who doesn't believe what they teach are the godless hoards or communists.

I must be out of it, I didn't know President Bidens son lost his life in Iraq.
That's just his speech impediment making him stutter.
Corn pop probably gave him a brain tumor a decade or so after he got out of the military, in retaliation for his dad taking a "length of chain" out to confront Corn pop and his gang of bad dudes.
I must be out of it, I didn't know President Bidens son lost his life in Iraq.
Boy you race to the board with "hit the old guy over the head every time he slips" talking points don't cha? Well, after you are done drooling down your ancient American bibb over Biden being old, maybe I can connect the dots for you. Biden blamed the burn pits for his son's cancer. In his mind, his service in Iraq got him killed. Kind of shameful to attack that, but I know you come from the party where the POTUS craps on war heroes and gold-star families, so not shocked.

Yes yes, we know. Biden can do no wrong, no matter how you have to spin it.
"My son died in Iraq" is not a speech impediment. In fact, it's a lie.
BIDEN blamed the burn pits for his son's brain cancer a decade or so later? How many others got brain cancer from burn pits?
Look, it's tragic, okay? But old Joe is being old joe again. Misrembering, and making things up. Like how his first wife died from a drunk driver.
Corn pop.
I've agreed numerous times he's old and I hope he doesn't run again. But I'm not going to lower myself to the level of attacking him every time he makes a gaffe reminding us just how old he is. If I thought for a second that he was incompetent, I would sound the alarms, trust me. But compared to the last guy Joe is sane, has his crap on point, and is kicking butt getting dem legislation through total gridlock. Now talk to me during dem primaries in 24 and I might be a bit harsher, but if anything removes him before 24, President Harris would be the result and I prefer Joe stumbling here and there. But hey, y'all let us know what Tuckums comes up with next over on Klueless klan News so we can have another meaningless debate tomorrow night.

I'm not a Dr. Oz fan... but find it hilarious that ad said he's unfit to run.... Fetterman had a stroke... has auditory processing issues to the point that he has to read questions asked of him... and has various cognitive issues from the stroke.... dude is definition of unfit for office.... again, a situation where both parties give the voters crap to vote for...
I'd like a guy like Fetterman for POTUS. He's a decent man who cares about regular people and takes no crap. Pennsylvanians would be ignorant to NOT send him to congress over Oz. And I liked the Oz show back when it first got popular.

Wow... he seems pretty extreme for me.... I would love to be able to vote for someone who is a centrist who will actually work with both sides... Joe said he was going to do that but went crazy left once elected...

Dude has a history of lying... I can't tell if this was just a lie or his dementia... it's sad watching elders lose their cognitive ability...
A liar? OMG. Thankfully there's never been a lying POTUS before. We should invoke the 25th or impeach him immediately.
Yes... he has a history of lying... just because there have been other presidents who have also lied does that mean Joe shouldn't be held accountable... I dunno if he should be impeached for lying but invoking the 25th for his cognitive decline would not be that hard to prove...
You will find lots of people that blame military activity as the cause of cancer and premature death of a former service member.
Burn pits have been taken up by Jon Stewart. Just like the 9/11 compensation before.
Sometime the claims have merit. Agent Orange for one.
Right now there are about a million commercials/email per day looking for Camp Lejune victims.
We have a long history of cause and effect going back to asbestos, Love Canal, Erin Brockovich, roundup and even baby powder.
You may drop the word liar with ease, but that is not appropriate when dealing with the loss of someone you love.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Ted Cruz Falls For Fake News, Then Blames The Real Media For Calling Him Out
Sen. Ted Cruz’s latest attempt at owning those danged libs failed miserably on Thursday when the Texas Republican fell for a tweet of a nonexistent news story supposedly published in The Atlantic.
Cruz tweeted a link to what looked like an Atlantic article headlined “The Evolution of White Supremacy” with this subhead: “In Dearborn Michigan, Muslim parents who oppose teaching pornography to children become the new face of the far right.”
Later, after many people pointed out that there was no such Atlantic article, Cruz deleted his tweet.
The story that was the supposed subject of the tweet does have a basis in reality. A group of Muslim parents recently did object to LGBTQ books being available to students, according to the Detroit Free Press.
However, the Atlantic never wrote about the controversy, and the author credited with writing the nonexistent article, Abby Ohlheiser, hasn’t worked for the magazine since 2014, according to WGHP-TV.
Naturally, Twitter users fact-checked Cruz’ post and found it fact-free.
Some people called out the senator for deleting his tweet of the fake article without publicly admitting his mistake.
When Cruz finally fessed up, he blamed a familiar scapegoat: the media.
“Didn’t know it was fake,” he wrote. “You guys are so insane, it could easily have been real.”
Some people decided Cruz needed to be reminded of other times he spread misinformation in his unending efforts to, yes, own those libs:
Meanwhile, the journalist Ohlheiser said having her name falsely attached to a fake news story made for a challenging day.
Trump's Truth Social app soars to No. 1 on the Google Play store After long wait, Trump-owned app scores 100,000 plus downloads in first days in Android marketplace. By Charlotte Hazard Updated: October 14, 2022
Former President Donald Trump's social media app Truth Social soared to the No. 1 downloaded app on the Google Play store Friday after its long-awaited debut.
Truth Social sat atop the free apps list ahead of such brand names as Tik Tok, Amazon, WhatsApp and Instagram.
"It took us a while to get here," said Devin Nunes, the CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group that owns Truth Social. "But we're glad to be here. So we're hopeful now that everyone who has an Android can either go to the Google Play Store or the Samsung Galaxy Store and download the app."
Nunes told the John Solomon Reports podcast that Truth Social is still continuing to update many features to keep improving the app while expanding its reach internationally to places like Britain, Canada and Portuguese-speaking countries.
"Our next feature to come out is direct messaging," Nunes explained. "So that you can be not only in a social network and get your news, but people that you follow, and people that follow you — you'll be able to communicate with them. And it's all part of us building out this separate ecosystem of giving the American people their voice."
Nunes said theTruth development team is dedicated to more than building an app: its goal is to create a new free-speech "internet superhighway."
"We have very dedicated people who believe in free speech and who work 24/7 around the clock," Nunes said. "I mean, this is how we're able to do this. We're constantly building and testing one brick at a time very. It's very methodical, and just making sure that we can't be taken down by a tech oligarch."
100K downloads is a major fail bro. There are 330 million Americans, and 100K is 0.03% of those 330 million. Just saying, that's not popular, that's reviled. Especially when the real big social media platforms are now measured in the billions. And just an FYI, but the whole thing will come down upon his first conviction in NYC because misused funds collected for political purposes to do it. After he misused vet and children funds collected as charitable donations. This scumbag will not be allowed to spread his lying poison at all.

Donald Trump Is an Antisemite and Republicans Are Totally Cool With It
Donald Trump is an antisemite.
He regularly employs antisemitic tropes, essentializes Jews as a monolithic group, and entertains base stereotypes of Jews. He suggests that Jews are—or at least should be—more loyal to Israel than the United States. And yet, his defenders insist he can’t truly be antisemitic because his son-in-law is Jewish and his daughter converted to Judaism. Plus, he supports Israel.
Trump himself has said he is “the least antisemitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life.” But that, like most of the words that come out of Trump’s mouth—is a lie.
For American Jews, Trump’s anti-Jewish utterances are not necessarily surprising or unique. They are the kind of words that most of us have heard in whispered tones (or perhaps from clueless Gentiles) our entire lives. If, as Isaiah Berlin once joked, an antisemite is someone who hates Jews more than is absolutely necessary, Trump rarely went too far beyond that line into Grammy Hall territory—a “classic Jew hater.”
But on Sunday that changed, as he took his antisemitism to a new and much more dangerous place—implicitly threatening Jews. And, once again, his fellow Republicans said nothing.
On his social media site, Truth Social, Trump wrote this:
“No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S. Those living in Israel, though, are a different story – Highest approval rating in the World, could easily be P.M.! U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel – Before it is too late!”
Trump has made similar statements in the past. Last December he complained that “People in this country that are Jewish no longer love Israel.” He added that “evangelical Christians love Israel more than the Jews in this country,” who according to the former president “either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel.” (For good measure, he threw in that classic antisemitic dog whistle—“Jewish people run The New York Times.”)
Trump says things like this because he views politics in a wholly transactional manner. In his mind, he’s been incredibly supportive of Israel. As president, he moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and thus, American Jews should vote for him. It’s a quid pro quo.
It would never occur to him that American Jews might take into account other factors—like whether a presidential candidate regularly makes openly antisemitic statements, runs blatantly antisemitic ads, or helms a political movement that has turned a wealthy Jewish philanthropist into an antisemitic bogeyman.
It certainly would never dawn on him that the voting patterns of American Jews are driven by something other than a finite, definable good.
Indeed, American Jews have long been among the most loyal bloc of Democratic voters. That’s largely because, of the two major political parties, Democrats are consistent supporters of equal rights for minority racial and ethnic groups and are far less likely to give aid and comfort to antisemitic voices (though the party has not been as stalwart on this point as it once was). Quite simply, the values of the Democratic Party largely align with the values of the Jewish community in America.
The idea that American Jews’ political support could be informed by shared values—or a moral core—is as foreign to Trump as is the idea that values and morality are actual human attributes.
Indeed, Trump is likely unaware in his Sunday post that he gave voice to one of the more despicable and long-standing antisemitic tropes—that Jews are as loyal to Israel, as they are to America. Disloyalty is a charge that has been levied against Diaspora Jews for thousands of years, long before there even was a state of Israel. But Trump found a way to put an even worse modern spin on it by suggesting that “U.S. Jews have to get their act together…Before it is too late!”
Before what is too late?
Does that mean that if Trump comes back into power he will use the presidency to attack Jews for their lack of loyalty, or perhaps Israel for the supposed sins of their Jewish brethren in the United States? It’s not often that a potential presidential candidate demands votes by implicitly threatening an entire group of Americans, but here we are.
But if we dig deeper into Trump’s words, there’s an even more unsettling accusation. Unlike the usual charge of Jewish dual allegiance, Trump appears to suggest that Jews aren’t even loyal to America. According to Trump, the only real concern is the fate of Israel, which makes sense considering he once told a group of Jewish attendees at a White House Hanukkah event that Israel is “your country.” Our only true allegiance is, and apparently should be, with a country that is 5,000 miles away, not the place we call home.
Trump’s antisemitic slander is more than just another crude attack on Jews, it’s an assault on the very idea of what it means to be an American, particularly for those of us from immigrant backgrounds, who maintain an affinity and appreciation for our home country.
Unsurprisingly, Trump’s latest disgusting attack on American Jews received the same response it almost always does from his fellow Republicans: crickets. If you were searching social media to find a prominent Republican who criticized Trump’s threatening language you were out of luck.
This, of course, is the same political party that regularly castigates Democrats for not speaking out against antisemitic members in their own camp. Or as Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said earlier this month, in defending Kanye West after he tweeted out an explicit threat against American Jews, he can’t really be an anti-Semite since he 100 percent supports Israel—as if the latter somehow excuses the former.
As one exasperated Jewish friend texted to me on Sunday evening, “all you f***ers who tell me you can’t support the Democrats because Rashida (Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan) or Omar (Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota) are antisemites. Where the f** are you today?”
For years, Republicans have been more than happy to ignore Trump’s racism and misogyny—considering it politically useful to look the other way as he attacks minority groups as insufficiently American. But then again for Trump’s Republican enablers, unlike the Jewish Americans he vilified on Sunday, their true allegiance is clear—and it’s not to America.
I could have sworn there were some GOPers on here saying how Durham was going to expose the deep-state plot. I wOnDeR wHaT hApPeNeD?
Durham loses again in court, but trial airs FBI flaws
The Danchenko verdict is the latest setback for the Trump-appointed special counsel's investigation into the FBI and Russia inquiry.
Special Counsel John Durham’s probe into the origins of the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation suffered another high-profile blow Tuesday, but his disciples see a silver lining in the veteran prosecutor’s checkered courtroom record.
After about nine hours of deliberations, a federal jury acquitted Russian policy researcher Igor Danchenko on Tuesday on four felony false-statement charges brought as part of Durham’s probe of misinformation that triggered the FBI probe of former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Simply put, federal prosecutors are not used to losing. So, Durham’s defeat at the Danchenko trial — which came less than five months after a similar acquittal in another case brought by the special prosecutor — represents an unmistakable defeat.
However, Durham and his aides used the forum of the recent trials to air evidence of what they suggested was a failure by FBI personnel to pursue leads as they probed the sourcing of the Steele dossier, a compendium of allegations former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele assembled about links between Trump and Russia. Danchenko was Steele’s key source when compiling the dossier.
Durham’s open criticism of the FBI produced an unusual spectacle at the trial, as he and his team attacked the competence of FBI agents and analysts who were the prosecution’s key witnesses. The back-and-forth led to disclosures about senior investigators’ refusal to pursue inquiries that more junior FBI personnel thought were warranted, as well as ongoing efforts to discipline FBI personnel over issues related to the Trump-Russia investigation.
Defenders of the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe have said Durham’s criticisms have focused on a relatively small part of the broad investigation, although Durham could offer more disclosures in a forthcoming report. However, his back-to-back courtroom defeats suggest he and his aides misjudged those cases and committed some of the same investigative gaffes they’ve decried in the original probe.
Danchenko managed to defeat the charges against him even though he declined to take the stand in his own defense and called no witnesses during the trial. His attorneys suggested to the jury that he was the victim of a politically inspired prosecution by Durham, who was tapped in 2019 by then-Attorney General William Barr to look into how the Trump-Russia probe began and played out.
The jury of seven men and five women deliberated for about nine hours over two days before returning their verdicts.
Danchenko initially showed little emotion as the successive “not guilty” verdicts were read aloud by a court clerk shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday. At least one member of the jury looked directly at him as the verdicts came down.
Danchenko glanced briefly at his wife, who began crying as the verdicts were delivered and was handed a box of tissues by a bailiff via one onlooker in the audience. Later, Danchenko teared up himself and embraced his attorneys.
Durham did not address reporters at the courthouse, but issued a written statement saying: “While we are disappointed in the outcome, we respect the jury’s decision and thank them for their service. I also want to recognize and thank the investigators and the prosecution team for their dedicated efforts in seeking truth and justice in this case.”
The four charges the jury considered all involve Danchenko’s statements about his dealings with Sergei Millian, who served in 2016 as head of the Russian American Chamber of Commerce.
Danchenko told the FBI that he received a call in July 2016 from an unidentified man who shared derogatory information about Trump. The Russian researcher said he believed the man was Millian and that the pair agreed to meet up in New York, but the man never showed.
Durham’s team said Danchenko never had contact with Millian and invented the entire story to cover for having told Steele that Millian was the source of a lurid story about Trump’s alleged actions at a Moscow hotel.
“There was no call with Millian and there was no call with any individual,” prosecutor Michael Keilty said in a closing statement for the Durham team. “It’s a not-to-be believed story.”
But the prosecutors found themselves in the difficult situation of having to prove a negative — that Millian never talked to Danchenko — and having to do so beyond a reasonable doubt.
Durham’s team suggested that the absence of Millian’s known phone numbers from call logs for Danchenko’s phone proved the two men never spoke, but the defense noted that people often speak via a variety of phone apps, such as WhatsApp and Signal.
They also noted that travel records showed Millian, who did not testify, arriving in New York from Asia on the night before the day Danchenko said he was supposed to meet the anonymous caller in New York.
Before the jury verdicts Tuesday, the criminal case against Danchenko had already proved to be difficult for Durham and his team. At the conclusion of the prosecution’s evidence on Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Anthony Trenga granted a defense motion to throw out one of the five false-statement charges the former think tank employee faced.
Durham had charged Danchenko with lying to the FBI when he said he never “talked” to public relations executive Charles Dolan about the compendium Trump’s political opponents paid Steele to compile about Trump’s ties to Russia. Many of the stories in the so-called Steele Dossier appear to be apocryphal and FBI personnel who testified at the trial said they were unable to corroborate any of it.
While there was proof at the trial that Danchenko emailed with Dolan about the dossier, there was no evidence the two men ever spoke. Durham’s team alleged the jury could find the emails amounted to talking, but Trenga- — an appointee of President George W. Bush — said it appeared Danchenko’s denial was literally true so the count had to be thrown out.
The prosecution of Danchenko on false-statement charges is the third criminal case brought by Durham’s team.
The first, against FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, netted a guilty plea from the lawyer for forging details in an email related to a surveillance application during the early stages of the Trump-Russia probe. Clinesmith, who said he altered the message to save himself time, got no jail time.
Jurors in Washington made short work of Durham’s second outing, a single-count false-statement charge against cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann for allegedly lying about his client when relaying to the FBI suspicions about computer links between Trump and Russia.
A prosecutor argued to jurors that the evidence of Sussmann’s guilt was “overwhelming,” but after a two-week trial, the jury took just six hours to acquit the Washington lawyer.
Shortly after the verdicts were received, Trenga called Danchenko to the lectern, saying “Your bond has been discharged and you’re free to go.” After that, the Russian national also began crying and embraced both of his defense attorneys, Stuart Sears and Danny Onorato.
In the wake of the verdicts, Onorato and Sears shook hands with Durham and his prosecutors, Keilty and Brittain Shaw.
“We’ve known all along that Mr. Danchenko was innocent. We’re happy now that the American public knows that as well,” Sears said outside the courthouse, flanked by his client. “We thank these jurors for their hard work and deliberation for reaching the right result.”
The defense lawyers declined to answer questions from reporters, while Durham never came to the cameras stationed in front of the courthouse and commented only in his written statement.
Typical trump supporter’s need a villain like antifa to coverup their own deplorable acts like white supremacy, insurrection, and taking away women’s rights.
