Exactly. Trump and all his toadies deserve no mercy.

Greetings!

Yeah? You think so?
Yeah, pretty much. I've been shocked at the contempt shown for our republic and method of government by the cowards who kowtow to Trump and suck down and spout out his (and the Russian's) propaganda. Seems like the last patriotic Republican died August 25, 2018.

Imagine believing the Russia conspiracy theory in 2020, or that either party has ever served the American public in our lifetime.

Imagine believing the Russia conspiracy nonsense and then insisting this election was different because their guy won. Dunno if Bren's done that, but watching the media push that narrative has been amusing as hell.

Obviously, there's nothing suspicious about a senile old man who can't speak straight half the time and barely campaigned getting the most votes of any president in history.
In other news, Trump just broke Obama's 12 year streak as the most admired man in America.

Whats next?
Amazingly, the Electoral College vote can be challenged under federal law and the United States Constitution. Republican electors in seven contested states cast alternate votes for Donald Trump to keep their legal options open. State legislatures retain their constitutional authority to offer alternative slates of electors. And Congress is the ultimate arbiter of the race since the ballot count can be contested during the joint session on January 6. If Brooks and one Senator object to certain state elector slates, then all bets are off. On January 6, Republicans may control the Senate and have strength in the House, just one Senator could step up and begin to change the course of history!

None of this is true but thanks for sharing I guess.

Also, when was your diagnosis of serious mental illness and what meds are you on?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

How disingenuous!

Your memory hole is active, I see...  ;D

Tubesock Army engaged in hyperbole; your expectation that this will have any effect on the outcome is not correct, though. How does any of this imply a failure in CNN reporting?
I love you rawma. CNN doesn't.
Prove me wrong!

He shouldn't. He's not good at it which is most likely due to his heavy intake of CNN.

Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake.

Quote from: Pat on December 29, 2020, 12:20:18 AMIf you charge a 5% fee on stock, commodity, or bond transactions there will be fewer transactions. A lot fewer. Not to mention increasing taxes by 50% and hobbling the capital sector will have many other repercussions.

If the number of transactions is only half the 2008 total, there would still be an extra trillion dollars in the treasury.

Quote from: Pat on December 29, 2020, 12:35:59 AM
Yet you claimed that 5% would raise $2 trillion/year, which is roughly half the yearly revenue of the entire federal government, from all types of taxes.

You can't have it both ways. If it's an insignificant sales tax, then it won't make a dent in the debt. If it can make a dent in the debt, then it's a 50% increase in all taxes.

Insignificant for the person paying the fee, numbnuts.

The subject remains your claim that CNN claimed something specific (that an objection could not be made by a representative and a senator) that was not true. If you're not just casting random aspersions, post a link.

I never said that.

The following is a nonsensical non sequitur then.

Quote from: Shasarak on December 29, 2020, 06:58:54 PM
I fact checked the claim that a member of the House and a senator can object to the electors and turns out that it fact checks: true.

So....turns out relying on CNN is not so accurate.

Where did I say that "CNN claimed something specific"?

What was the reliance on CNN then? Why claim it's inaccurate if there was nothing specific related to what you fact checked? Non sequitur or nonsense or both?
