2020 Elections

[TorontoGold]

I feel bad for the kids having to grow up in the this screwed up country. Girls have to worry about going to the bathroom, the dumb ass dems don’t want you to call your mom mother, they want to pay off off college debts for kids that decided to go to college, this county is as backwards.

If you work for your stuff you get punished. Everyone want something for free it ridiculous. A lazy screwed up society. PS if you don’t like what I have to say I don’t care.

Why would girls be afraid of the bathroom?

Why would girls be afraid of the bathroom?

If you're asking, you need to start paying closer attention and researching on your own now more than ever.

lol WTF are you even on about? This is drivel

You have been putting your two Canadian cents in these U.S. political threads for how long?

 

[IrishLax]

Why would girls be afraid of the bathroom?

Because Dean Bongino told him so.

To be fair, there is an absolutely massive culture war + political correctness problem in the United States. What Trumpists don't realize though is that there are a ton of center-Left and center-Right people that agree with them about the stupidity of "awomen", letting males compete in female sports, Latinx, cancel culture, etc. A broad cross-section of American think all the "woke" nonsense has gone too far.

But they are NEVER going to support someone like Trump because he is a serial liar, confirmed fraudster, likely tax cheat, and newly minted wanna be dictator currently trying to steal an election through any means necessary. So as long as you align these issues with Trump, you're going to ultimately lose... which is why the Republicans no longer control the House, Senate, or Presidency. Trump's defective personality took a blow torch to the Republican party in four short years. We'll see how and if they recover from this.

I have regular contact with plenty of women, some even have daughters (can you believe that), and I have not once heard about them being scared to go to the bathroom. I was in university less than 10 years ago, and the only time my friends were scared to go to the bathroom was at a dudes house they didn't know.

 

[GowerND11]

Because all the rapists are identifying as female now, and they're going to assault girls in bathrooms.

Lmao I have literally never heard of "awomen" and....hoo boy what a mess. I do think a lot of it takes away from some of the real change that should happen (look at all the people in this thread scared of a transgender person *gasp* using the bathroom?!). It's incredibly disappointing.

But Lax, there's PILES of evidence.

Presidential results with breakdown by county.
Hovering over counties, Dems share of the vote:
- DeKalb 83.1%
- Fulton 72.6%
- Clayton 85%

Georgia Senate races (both listed, but Warnock/Loeffler:
- DeKalb 83.9%
- Fulton 72.5%
- Clayton 88.5%

Maps look the same for red-blue counties.

A) You are describing a vast majority of politicians, Trump is not unique in any of the bolded qualities.

B) Republican party needed a blow torch taken to it.

LAX just summed up my entire political belief system.

Political correctness is a huge problem... but that doesn't make Donald Trump's bullshit the answer.

I understand why people gravitate to him and his attitude. The idea of 'sticking it to the snowflakes' is one that appeals to even me sometimes, and a lot of you conservative folk would probably consider ME to be a snowflake... But there are better ways of going about things than whatever it is Donald Trump decides to do at any given time.

(Shoutout to Trump for a strong economy and doing a generally decent job overall, despite what lunatics on the faaaaar left would have you think, until Coronavirus hit the fan. Boo Trump for being a generally shitty human being that totally botched a chance to win himself re-election with the way he responded to the virus.)

The lawyer on Trump's call with the Georgia Secretary of State, Cleta Mitchell, has resigned from her law firm, Foley & Lardner.

Ms. Mitchell in an email to clients blamed her departure on “a massive pressure campaign in the last several days mounted by leftist groups via social media and other means against me, my law firm and clients of the law firm.” The Lincoln Project was one that tweeted that the firm represented Major League Baseball with their phone number.

Ms Mitchell has been advising Trump on legal matters involving alleged voter fraud. Trump's call to the Sec of State of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, vaguely threatened him with “a criminal offense” as he pressured him to “find” enough votes to change the state’s presidential results.

 

[Irish#1]

I don’t think so. Within half a percent they can request a recount.

Could be true, but that's what was reported on the local news this morning.

Don't sugar coat it. Tell us how you really feel? lol

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again. DJT would still be president if he would have just kept his mouth shut. Not only can't he control his own ego, he's being vindictive about losing. More importantly, he just put DC politics right back there they were and will stay from now on. Anyone that's not a career politician and wants to run for president will pay for Trumps personality and find it extremely hard to get nominated let alone elected.

Thank you, Georgia.

Not a moment too soon, too.

Most of all, I can't help but laugh my ass off at Rudy working on this for over a year for Trump and this is what he comes up with in October before the election. It's truly hilarious if it wasn't so sad (and likely illegal). Trump got impeached over trying to get Ukraine to interfere in the election and Rudy swoops in a year and a half later trying to pull it off himself to disastrous results. I'd like to blame Rudy but he's the one who has been stealing Trump's money this whole time so I'm not sure who the biggest fool is here.

Couple months since this comment and Trump has been impeached again, and in the least surprising news ever, Trump is refusing to pay Rudy Giuliani his legal fees.

The proverbial chickens are coming home to roost for everyone that peddled lies following the election. It’s one thing to make a claim about “fraud” that you can’t prove... it’s another to target a company that can claim damages from the lies. Fox News, Newsmax, etc. have all already aired/printed “clarifications” and have ceased disparaging Dominion with lies about voter fraud. The pending court cases will likely take years to play out but some of the bad actors, like Sidney Powell, will likely be bankrupted.

I'd uncharitably like to see some burnt earth consequences for the liars and facilitators. Can't help it, and believe that the country BADLY needs it.

If you'll remember, after the Senate had been swept for bombs, etc. and the terrorists moved out of the Congress, Hawley (Mo) objected to Pennsylvania's electoral votes.His argument had been litigated through their state courts with unanimous decisions that it had no merit and their petition for SCOTUS to hear it was rejected. His (and their) solution would have been to cancel millions of Pennsylvanians' mail-in votes allowed by their 2019 law on behalf of millions of his constituents.

Since the KC Star and St Louis Post-Dispatch had editorials condemning his actions, he wrote a guest column in the Southeast Missourian. Since Hawley is an honorable man, here it is.

Guest column: Sen. Josh Hawley responds to critics: 'Why I objected'

He is a man of principle.

If I was given the chance to pick, I'd go Haley, Thune (though his time has likely passed), or Cotton. Big fan of those three.

 

[IrishLax]

If Ben Sasse gets the nom in 2024 then he'll likely get my vote. I used to be a big fan of Nikki Haley (and I thought she was a good appointee by Trump and did a good job at the UN) but she has turned into a disappointingly vapid, pandering fraud in recent months as she eyes 2024.

If I had to bet, I think the "front runners" will evolve rapidly over the next two years depending on what happens with lawsuits, criminal cases, and midterms.

Can't make this up... Sidney Powell's defamation defense is that her lies were so stupid and so outlandish that no one with a brain should've believed them. This is after repeatedly going on television and participating in press conferences with the President's lawyer where she not only claimed them to be statements of fact but said she had evidence to back up her claims. She should never be allowed to practice law ever again, and I hope that she loses every penny of the millions of dollars she grifted from MAGA people during her post-election charade.

LOL, Hard to make that argument with a straight face when there were millions of people who did believe her. Enough so, that there is probably a pretty clear money trail from people who did believe.
