Re: TRUMP AHEAD?

I don’t think any of Trump’s detractors on this thread have much except a superficial grasp of the sociological underpinnings to Trump’s broad support. You only revert to one level of analysis: that his supporters are 1) deplorables and 2) under-educated. This might help to widen your understanding...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?

Am I being misinfored. Is Trump doing well enough to be a potential winner? Yes, Trump is doing well enough to win the 2024 election. But I think this is the result of more than just the volume of disinformation directed at the voters. There has to be an interaction between the doggerel verses eman...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?

SCOTUS justices are human, they live in neighborhoods, the personal welfare of their families is undoubtedly a consideration in The Brave New World where the illegal intimidation of justices and their families at their homes is allowed by the Democrat Party. What is it that leads you to claim that ...

Re: Democracy

So you don’t recognize a disguised racially motivated remark nor do you pay attention to the connotation intended by those who utter this mantra. I have no idea why you insist in bringing "RACE" into this.. So you must have it that culture spans multiple races and cannot apply to a specif...

Re: Democracy

As someone dead centre, still in the Conscious Pilate's seat. I am increasingly becoming aware and vexed at the the LEFT wing of my plane, insisting on muting people of opinions that don't match their own. That free speech can be tainted towards silence by ridiculous and baseless accusations such a...

But the largest, the most important and consequential issue here is •election interference•.
It could be an instance of dirty politics. But not much more so than any negative ad posted by the Democrat Party.

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?

How do you know? Simple. Once real and open underhandedness is seen to have worked — using the legal system to block a political opponent — it is inevitable that the other side will employ the same. The chasm, the abyss, the divisions within the nation will not abate and will increase, to the detri...

Re: Democracy

Every parliamentary election across the world today appears to miss the point. There is an obsession with the idea that democracy is about votes. The prime question is whether a candidate is a ‘democrat’ or an oligarch, or similar. The USA is well set to vote for an oligarch, or extreme authoritari...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?

You're quite wrong about that. How do you know? The same way anyone knows anything. The Trump Persecutions are highly publicized acts of corrupting the law for political purposes. The Spirit of the Law has been corrupted by the letter of the law, which is the only way The Spirit of the Law can be c...

Re: Master criminal Trump

''The first felony conviction of a former US President wasn’t for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, illegal CIA coups, drone striking weddings, or spying on Americans… It was because Trump misclassified a $130,000 payment for a porn star’s NDA. Tells you everything you need to know.'' He could have add...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?

Where are the MAGATS when it is expected that they would talk?

Shouldn’t there be cries of rigged, corrupt, incompetent, scam, conflicted, never had a chance, witch-hunt and all Biden’s doing?

Why have the MAGATS (rhymes with maggots) been silent?
