  1.  @midnightrunner684  repeating mistakes is a certain sign of idiocy. We're not idiots.

  2.  @edwardprofit4537  twice impeached, never until now convicted and his conviction, for 34 felonies. Sentencing can be for up to 4 years, all sentencing concurrent, plus probation, community service and fines. Most likely, as a first time offender, no prison time, although I'm sure he can talk the judge into it.

  3. Just another, in a long line of successes. Of course, there may be an opportunity to top this success by appealing and the appellate court increasing the penalty...

  4. They chose their replacement god, as the original one went against their prosperity gospel doctrine. Choosing man and mammon over godliness and nation. Because, do note how many are extreme fundamentalists.

  5. @brennalee98 compared to Trump, who couldn't even get 1/3 of the first page of the SIOP, the actual instructions on how to use those nukes? Sorry, I'll take Biden, at least he knows how to read something more complex than a primer about Spot and Puff.

  6. Easy enough work for both Walz and Harris. After all, Trump brought Vance on after seeing an advertisement in the paper, "Idiot seeks new village" and Trump thought it was a match made in heaven. And as we well know, Trump gets everything bass ackwards.

  7.  @jimcarr1354  they said that the Teflon Don couldn't be convicted. Yet he died in prison, alone.

  8. Registered Democrat after those insane about tea jumped from Libertarian to GOP, hijacking things toward insanity. Only the second time though that I voted party line. I vote for platform, interests and national welfare, not blind loyalty to a person or party and my only sworn affiliation remains for the laws and Constitution of this nation. My contract may have expired upon retirement, my sworn word of honor has no expiration date.

  9. "Veterans are #1", incessantly heard from GOP types. Every veteran can tell you that they're really holding up the third digit, as those same misleaders lead the charge to cut our VA benefits and the VA budget - including the first years of the GWOT after 9/11. All giving it to the little guy, never a suggestion of a reach around.

  10. That's the shrinking minority core of his followers and hence, way less than 10% of the vote.

  11. Be extra careful! You might start gaining weight from all of those yummy new recipes. :D I came close more than a few times.

  12. Hence, why the Bunker Boy video was such a hit.

  13. Interesting is, one of the last 5 questions is of being awake, aware and oriented X3, aka person, place and time. So, it was hard for him to know who he is, where he is and what year it is.

  14. @Aleksandr Aleksievich Palm-Leeis at least they didn't conspire with foreign powers, or ignore a pandemic that's killed 130000 US citizens and that number is climbing rapidly.

  15.  @user-ij6ng5bi8j  Putin's been saying that for years, he's still losing to Ukraine. You know, like a grown man losing a fist fight with a toddler. Given Trump's lack of performance without Putin and well, even with him and Putin's drained impotency, well, everyone knows about Trump's impotency.

  16.  @ethicalhacker9720  the same way Tokyo Rose did.

  17. He worked diligently and tirelessly in bankrupting his casinos - six times. He worked exhaustively at bilking Trump U students of their money. He incessantly bilked contractors of their hard earned money. Let's face it, Donald Trump could fuck up a wet dream.

  18. Hey now, give him due credit. He made billions into millions! Total success, like the great success of the Zealots at Masada.

  19. I don't vote for reproductive equipment. I vote for brain, heart and soul. Three things absent in Trump. Come to think of it, does he even cast a reflection?

  20.  @Sayid-al-Furat  oh? Who's the emperor of that imperialist organization?

  21. I've reminded my conservative friends, those who are denied the vote by ballot retain the right to vote by bullet. People are getting that pissed off, what with so many people dying of this virus that idiot refuses to lead the efforts against or even allow a full court press. He's also refusing to fund the states, despite the massive tax revenue loss and insane expenses in state responses to the pandemic, which will result in the loss of essential services. So, Trump is defunding the police, fire and EMS.

  22. He didn't even send most of the money Congress authorized. Looks like most diverted illegally to a wall vanity project, which is misallocation and misappropriation, both felonies.

  23.  @germyw  look up Nixon's Southern Strategy, which aligned with southern Democrats platforms, perfecting a conversion from what the GOP originally stood for to what it stands for today.

  24. Our nation's first conservative party was the Whig party. It got hijacked by Nativists, a populist isolationist and Protestant first group that was every bit as weird and zany as the MAGAts.They tore the party apart to the point that the same conservatives finally abandoned ship and formed a new party, the Republican Party. The new party's first candidate for POTUS, some Abraham Lincoln guy. Fairly quickly, the remnants of the Whig party dissipated like a weak squall that it was, leaving our current leading parties that we have today - albeit with changed positions post-Nixon's Southern Strategy.

  25.  @lindaj71  that's an entirely not my problem issue. I was a soldier, not a chaplain, the chaplain had the love department, I was in the smite department. It's one thing for a leader to say that they despise someone's political views and endorsements, but to express hatred in an already hatred and threat laden campaign, that brings things into the realm of terrorist threats, which he has encouraged. As far as I'm concerned, any terrorist attacks upon her should result in domestic terrorism charges being levied against him.

  26.  @olika9076  no, he's simply hiding behind a hill of beans.

  27. They're in the temple of Our Lady of Perpetual Audits. At least, according to the Lord of the Lies.

  28.  @Missunderstood103  thereby, while proclaiming adherence to Christian values, rejecting Matthew 25:35-40, condemning themselves.

  29.  @pamelabryant7390  more, the reverse is true. All of the smart criminals have Trump by the gonads.
    10
  30.  @brandonjames6855  that depends upon the vote. To say otherwise is to invite sedition charges. Well, unless you take up arms when you lose, then it'd be treason charges for the survivors. Because, we in the US Army swore an oath to our Constitution and laws, not a party or a single senile old man.

  31. Seriously, I really did start laughing at the comment. I've been on a few juries over the years, 15 minutes won't get you figuring out when to have a bathroom break. Still, everyone's likely tired of the place and each other by now, to put it nicely, so Friday before COB is the most likely bet, just to avoid the risk of another week stuck in the courthouse.

  32.  @stevegolacks8731  equality isn't legal? Fascinating, do enlighten us as to how equality isn't legal.

  33. Wouldn't matter, it's literally a religion with them.

  34. We don't nationalize businesses in the US. We do eminent domain businesses though.

  35.  @SweetJustice11  nope, he actually used and was serious, a Groucho Marx joke, "Who are you gonna believe? Your eyes and ears or me?". I'll believe my own senses over the senseless every time.

  36.  @OldPainlessSR-71  partial birth, like partial pregnancy, which by definition would be equally valid. Now, enlighten me, show me a partial birth or partial pregnancy. I'll wait, the universe will become quite cold before you can show me anything real - absolute zero.

  37. Well, ever notice that some show up at multiple rallies that are quite distant from each other? Hard to work and have a job if you're crisscrossing the nation following Trump around like a little puppy.

  38.  @favouritemoon4133  he's not been a US President for a number of years. Enough years to rack of a significant number of felony charges.

  39. I just hibernated. Woke up late, dragged until lunch time, ate then, slept until 4:30, made a quick ugly dinner, now preparing to hibernate again until tomorrow. Considered walking the three quarters of a mile to the food bank, but it's going to be below the 20's until the end of the week, so I'll just wait until it warms up a bit to at least low refrigerator temperatures, my pantry can withstand it.

  40. Just remember, MAGA has their historic place. After all, Samson defeated the Philistines with the jawbone of a MAGA. I'll just get my hat...

  41. I have, the words were covered by George Carlin in his 7 words that you can't say on TV.

  42. I'm comforted by the fact that the Teflon Don eventually died in prison. This one will as well, if ever he lives so long as to get to trial after his term.

  43.  @DerSteppenwolfe  careful, your hyperbole is showing. There has never been a WMD inside of our schools. Guns, yes, but as a hint, name one school that had every single student killed. No nerve agents, blister agents, choking agents or nuclear weapons have been used. In the early 20th century, there was the Bath schoolhouse disaster, a former school board treasurer blew up a school full of children, but that' still not a WMD. The next worse was in Texas, where a natural gas that'd normally e flared off was used to heat a school and due to that source, had no stench of mercaptans that we add to natural gas to detect a leak. A pipe began to leak badly, a spark set off the gas/air mixture and pretty much picked up the occupied school and gravity took over. Walter Cronkite was a cub reporter that went to the scene and when asked to, he put down his notepad and started helping dig through the rubble. You also missed the mark on Nazism, they're simply vanilla flavored fascists. Some neo-nazis are supporting him, just as the Nazi party supported Mussolini's fascist regime. Trump being a weakling and imbecile, well, that's spot on target. Trump has only one real skill, he's a different form of WMD, weapon of mass distraction. Whenever something especially vile gets released/leaked, take a look at the Senate to see what he's distracting you from noticing. Still, I've had Trumpettes go on and on about how I shouldn't be allowed to do that. I simply remind them of the golden rule. My gold, my rules and try to interfere, well, I've firearms as well and our chief difference is, I served for nearly 28 years in the army. I know how to use mine effectively. Shut the idiot down. It isn't what you will do that counts, it's what the other idiot believes that you might do that counts and if I use the damned thing, then I have to clean it and frankly, they're not worth that much trouble. We have one critical advantage against Trumpettes, they're only around 28 - 31% of the population, so they're a minority. Go out and vote for somebody!

  44.  @hunglikeahorse---fly  they switched from following the Holy Ghost to following Beelzebub, the Lord of the Lies. So sad, too bad, they're earning a very warm reception, per their own former faith. The funniest thing I've found in Christianity is, there is nothing Jesus taught that wasn't already in the Old Testament. Well, more fully in the full Tanakh.

  45.  @OldPainlessSR-71  sedition is not patriotism, it's the polar opposite.

  46. @brennalee98 no, I'll not vote for Putin's running mate.

  49.  @chunksinfante1789  thank you for your input from the short bus in Saint Petersburg. As a guy who rode the short helicopter to work, I'm fairly entertained.

  50. Nobody has waged war against the US, we're also not at war, since Congress hasn't declared war since WWII, so there is no enemy to give aid and comfort to. And since treason is the only crime enumerated in the US Constitution, narrowly and precisely being defined there, there is no treason. They're both too cowardly to ever consider picking up a gun and attacking anyone. Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
