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.

I feel the same way about Biden and his sucking of CCP cock. The Democrats died in 2016 when they closed ranks around Hilary and showed they were more interested in preserving their status quo than representing the American people.
And Hillary is terrible because she is a lizard-faced alien who heads the Pizza Hut child pornography ring? Or did you have another reason? It's hard keeping up with all the many conspiracies and all of Q's "revelations." Also, I've no idea what CCP is supposed to mean. My first thought was the old CCCP, but you're one C short and that would make it Trump and Putin, so you probably mean something else.

Well, besides a trainload of philosophical and ideological problems and flaws--ranging from an alignment with globalism, corporate corruption and Marxism, Hillary is terrible because she's a lying, corrupt cunt that maintained a private server transferring classified government data and communications--which makes her a criminal, and a felon--crimes that if YOU or I had committed, would have us certainly arrested, prosecuted, and sent to federal prison. Next, Hillary facilitated the sale and transfer of Uranium worth billions of dollars to Russia. Next, Hillary has been a totally corrupt slug for facilitating the sale of favours by others--officials, ambassadors, and so on--in exchange for immense donations to the Clinton Foundation. Then, of course, there is her infamous handling and supervision of the whole Benghazi scandal--where Americans were abandoned and left to die--all on her watch.

Anyone that seeks to defend Hillary should be aware of how much of an absolutely corrupt and treasonous bitch she is. She is a terrible and disgusting woman, and a horrible politician and official, in any capacity.

Semper Fidelis,

Hilary is terrible because she's a continuation of the Democrat elite establishment that feels public office is owed to them. You could hear it in her incredulity that Trump won. Hilary is terrible because the DNC squashed Bernie Sanders in order to put their pet politican forward as presidential candidate. (Not that I'm a fan of Bernie) Hilary is everything wrong with the Democrats. Talking progressive out one end, and perpetuating their power base out the other.

And CCP means Chinese Communist Party. You know, the foreign power that controls Biden. Just like Russia controls Trump, right?

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

What amazes me is how the Democrats can look at themselves in the mirror after screwing Bernie repeatedly, but somehow they're the 'progressive' party.

My favorite part is where Hillary facilitated the sale of Uranium to Russia, and she and her husband Bill has been dealing and trading favors with Russia (as well as foreign officials from all around the globe) for decades now--most of it a matter of public record, not even speculation--but Trump is somehow a Russian asset cuz a random guy the Clintons payed to write a now largely discredited document said so.

You gotta forgive Bren, he's obviously widely uninformed on these topics, but still wants to contribute on this topic to throw dirt at a straw version of the people he's opposing, cuz he's not even informed about WTF they actually believe.

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?

I am curious, do you have shares in CNN?  Some kind of finanical incentive?

I was looking for a link on CNN about the riots in Portland the other night but according to them there was no such thing.

Interesting.

This isn't hard to figure out. The Democrats represent a rather wide range of progressive positions, and some of those positions are only allied by necessity ("enemy of my enemy" thinking, much like the crumbling alliance between Trump and the Republican party). Even so, Bernie goes too far for many of them.

Found an interesting article a while back about...

DESPAIR

https://www.wnd.com/2020/11/lefts-propaganda-despair/
"They'll say: "True, your business is dead. Your income is gone. You can't pay your mortgage or your rent. You can't pay off your loans. Things are terrible." They'll try to distract you from the fact that it was their policies that destroyed everything you owned in the first place. And then they'll try to lure you in with their socialist siren song of "universal basic income"; "forgiveness of student loan debt"; mortgage and rent "moratoria"; and "fair housing." (Because "Housing is a right!")
"You can't fix it without us."

Gone is your independence, replaced by the ring in your nose by which they plan to lead you around. You can't vote against them now, because they control everything you have.
That is how a relative handful of people who produce nothing become more powerful than millions of people who produced everything. They, not you, will decide which industries will prosper and which will shut down. They, not you, will decide which enterprises operate, what those enterprises make, how much they can charge, who owns them, what the owners can take from them and what their employees must be paid.

That is the ugly reality hiding behind the left's propaganda of despair."

TRUTH.

Nope. If you have some evidence of significant errors by CNN, post links; I would be interested in looking at them.

Progressive is clearly a relative thing; in the Senate the Democratic party includes Joe Manchin and Elizabeth Warren (note that Bernie Sanders is an independent despite running in the Democratic primary). In a two-party system, who else would be the progressive party?

I know a few Bernie supporters who were upset over the 2016 primaries; they went on to support Hillary in the general election. They seemed satisfied with last year's process if not the result, though, and Sanders and Biden sought common ground before the election to unify their supporters.

More interesting will be watching the Republican Senators struggling between support for the idea of elections and for Donald Trump this coming Wednesday.

Let's get real.  If Bernie was president he would fall in line to maintain the status quo.  If not he'll be destroyed.  I will say this.  Republicans should expect Democrats to engage in Trump style overreaches of power in the future because blatant hypocrisy has become acceptable.

Trump calls the Georgia Secretary of State asking for him to find enough votes to swing the state's presidential election, and suddenly nobody here wants to talk about the election?

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-insists-he-won-georgia-in-call-with-state-election-official-urges-him-to-find-votes-report
QuotePresident Trump insisted that he won the state of Georgia in the 2020 presidential race during a phone call with Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger over the weekend, reportedly urging him to "find" enough votes to reverse the state's results.
QuoteRaffensperger replied Sunday morning stating: "Respectfully, President Trump: What you're saying is not true. The truth will come out."

Quote from: Donald TrumpI just want to find 11,780 votes

Quote from: Ryan Germany, the secretary of state's general counselLet me tell you what we are seeing. What we're seeing is not at all what you're describing, these are investigators from our office, these are investigators from GBI, and they're looking and they're good. And that's not what they're seeing. And we'll keep looking, at all these things.

I guess Trump didn't learn from the Ukraine phone call and subsequent impeachment.
