... So far Trump and his surrogates have been almost invariably laughed out of court. Last night was an exception. The judge was not laughing. This judge, a member of the conservative Federalist Society, all but accused Trump's lawyers of lying to the court and attempting to disenfranchise an entir...

She's a pretty respected former Fed prosecutor and private litigator. And she's made very inflammatory claims about Dominion, which interestingly they have not tried to rebut. If she doesn't have proof, I would think she will be ruined by them and their supporters. It should be a compelling week. I...

I'd give Biden less than a 10% chance of taking office. The fraud is so obvious, i don't think the Republican state legislatures in these battleground will not direct the electors to vote for him. I think it's more likely this doesn't even get to the Supreme court. Sidney Powell is a beast. Maybe s...

Sorry, didn't realize that. I'll see if the moderator can delete this thread.

I listened to Dr. Fauci on Face the Nation this morning. Looking ahead, he talked about the two vaccines that have made it through trials with 90%+ efficacy rates, with others hopefully on the way. The ultimate public health strategy of a vaccine is for wide enough adoption to allow for herd immunit...

The title of this thread is incorrect and misleading; the lawsuit was filed by two individual voters, not by the Trump campaign. Good eye Tortoise. But it's a little murkier than that. The law firm representing the Plaintiffs is the same firm that represented the Trump campaign in its election laws...

well said glennds.. I think glennds is the forum's ambassador, well able to navigate the oftentimes varying political views expressed here! Vinny Thanks for the compliment Vinny. Seriously though, it's been getting a little hot around here. TBH, it's not like there is zero redeeming value that Trum...

Personality issues aside, let's not forget Americans historically tend to be moderate. While they might vote a far right/left populist in from time to time, they don't tend to stay in love with these populists very long. This is the same reason why the populists on the far left have not been able t...

And thank you to doodle for proving of the point.... I won't argue that the left doesn't have some bad ideas...but loony conspiracies....please enlighten me. The only one I can name are the 9/11 truthers. A poll conducted around the time of the 2008 election showed a little over 1/4 of registered D...

Thank you for sharing that. It's not a bad article. The second part gets a little hinky with the talk about Biden's mental health and Hunter's corruption and so forth. But the first part about the entrenched status quo being threatened by an agent of change like Trump and maybe being comforted by a ...

An Arizona judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit from two voters alleging mishandled ballots, the final election-related case pending in the state that voted for a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time in more than 20 years. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/526995-judge-tosses-...

It is time to state something very plainly. Donald Trump is a liar. By which I mean he is a congenital liar. Some with more qualifications might call him a pathological liar. If Harry Truman were still alive, he'd just label Trump as a lying son of a bitch. I'm comfortable with any of those charact...

How do you "pardon" someone who has not been formally accused or convicted of an actual crime? Throughout Trump's administration the MSM as continuously based their rhetoric on "what if" scenarios. Granted, Trump has done his best to give them ammunition, but how do folks get so...

Totally stupid to believe to in any election fraud. It requires one to believe that ALL the election fraud was dedicated towards Trump losing. Yet those same fraudsters did NOTHING at all to stop Republicans winning positions in the House, the Senate, or all the state legislatures. If you really be...

Proof or GTFO. Seriously. Court cases have gotten nowhere for lack of evidence. Neither Rudy nor any of Trumps lawyers have used the word "fraud" once in court. The only time they use the word "fraud" is outside of a legal setting, like social media, press conferences, etc where...

Then where do you get your information?

What about Illinois Nazis?
I hate Illinois Nazis.

Do we need a new law that says the current President must begin the transition of power before the electors meet in mid-December to officially designate the President-elect? Maybe that law needs to say that when the mainstream media designates someone as President-elect, even before the electors me...

If Trump is acting within the law and is not overstepping his authority within the executive branch, it's just plain silly to claim that he's an authoritarian with murderous intent. Sure. But I do think it is relevant, maybe not to the level doodle is implying, but it is just another datapoint for ...

You assume (wrongly) that providing the basic shelter, food, and necessities for the life of the "hopeless cases" would inflate the currency. I don't think you really understand what actually causes inflation. Simply "printing money" alone doesn't cause inflation... see the tril...

If it were, why would San Francisco, with its exceedingly liberal government, have a much greater homeless problem (proportionally) than, say, Des Moines, IA, which is run with a much more conservative outlook?

Even those that will not ever "contribute to elevating overall society" don't deserve to die in a ditch. Not trying to be a dick, and I don’t necessarily disagree, but you made a normative statement here and I’d like you to back up your rationale. Harry Browne has frequently said you have...

Don't forget New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern:



Recently re-elected in a landslide.

So Trump admits for first time that Biden won, but says he's not conceding. All his lawsuits are getting tossed out. There is no evidence. Is there any reasonable defense of this mans behavior and that of his administration? There is no recent precedent for any of this. If you doubted Trump's psych...
