It ain't a majority, and ain't nothing silent about them.

This is it. They didn’t have the majority in 2016 or 2018.

He may squeeze by on electoral math, but I can’t see how he’ll ever get the majority.

Gore actually beat Bush and we still lost.

Thanks to God Barrett is in. Keep it fair. Keep it fair.

Hey Guys!

Donald Trump has the power to access all kinds of cool top secret information that would expose Biden's family!

But you have to admit having Rudy run a conspiracy story in the NY Post is so much more convincing to the public than if Trump just shared actual evidence of a conspiracy for the first time.

Yeah man, Rudy is doing a great job and relieving the president of the trouble of actually having to produce real evidence for once.

Speculative fantasy is so much fun! Yay!

Go Rudy!

Curious how this sits with the few critical thinking Democrats on this forum.
The ones who treat politics as they do their sports teams need not reply.

I have no idea what this is even about. Can you provide a factual source for some background?

I'd like you to provide the factual source. Does the person who possesses the hard drive in this situation have the right to disseminate the information contained within?

Twitter's CEO has now released a statement explaining their policy, however the NYPost article did not link to any of the sensitive photos(crack pipe photo really) and they are still saying that this falls under their policy on hacked content, when
1. there is still zero evidence the content was hacked
2. how the content was obtained has been publicized and I am assuming the repair shop owner understands his legal rights when it comes to ownership of abandoned hardware.

Well gotdangit thats refeshing.

So basically your theory is that the republicans were playing straight up with obama for six years then stopped when the republicans got in power?

Feels like you're arguing disingenuously

You argued Harry Reid was justified in his ending the judicial filibuster because of alleged obstruction.
I showed confirmations were on pace with Bush the previous President. You then argued well that's only because Obama had a filibuster proof Senate majority his first two years. I showed he was at a slower pace his first two years than his last two in his first term when he was supposedly being obstructed. You don't have a point anymore. Thanks for playing.

You can stick your fingers in your ear and go lalalala "Im not listening to you" all you want. Fact of the matter is that an article you posted disproved your own point. Stop while you're behind.

Or to quote someone that Im sure is one of your heros, "facts dont care about your feelings."

I mean it has been pretty widely known for a very long time we all have been **** by the system.

Have you ever read Noam Chomsky?

You know what he can be fact checked too. He said Iraq was fought to enrich US oil. Go and look at whether US oil has gotten anywhere in Iraq. Nope.

But he’s right most of the time and he’s voting for Joe.

Of course it’s disingenuous. I’ve had this conversation many times. They’ll always bring up Harry Reid eliminating be filibuster but when you ask them about the unprecedented Republican obstruction that Reid faces in the Federal courts they:

To make a correct assessment you’d have to look at the number of openings and nominations vs the amount of confirmations other wise you’re not actually making an accurate comparison. For example Trump has filled a record number of Federal judges but that’s only because of the unprecedented, norm breaking and anti Democratic obstruction that McConnell participated in.

A scheme that he happily admits to complete with evil villain laugh:

That's freakin bananas. I hope that allows them to push this way over the top and create a historic landslide all the way down the ticket

I would not be surprised if Trump is incapacitated by election day. He's not cured and hopped up on drugs, running off to do rallies and looks like complete garbage.

He clearly had a stroke last November when he was hospitalized at Walter Reed in the middle of the night. He's showing signs of dementia and stroke side effects in his speech and his limbs and motor functions.

He's just not well. He's so desperate now that instead of healing he's burning the candle. He could be killing himself in the process. I doubt he will avoid much more serious illness if he keeps this up.

This was him in Iowa tonight. He's a mess
