  1. What we need to do as a result of the Trump presidency is rewrite the whole Constitution.
  2. Teaches "history" at an American university. Par for the course, I guess. The same tired old line, people just can't accept that a loser like Oswald assassinated a president. Gotta make something up.
  3. Les Paul is a blast from the past. I didn't know there were Les Paul guitars. How much would a Mary Ford cost me?
  4. No, but they're making a movie about her, a thriller called "The Girl with the Leg Tatoos." Then we will know!
  5. Why doesn't Trump let it all hang out and just tweet this? "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" Wouldn't that sum it up? He shouldn't hold in his emotions. I notice that his hair has already turned gray.
  6. To make a long story short, who stole the 2000 election for Bush, the Florida Supreme Court or the U.S. Supreme Court, or is it too complicated to figure out (sort of like the plot of "The Big Sleep")?
  7. COUNTERING TRUTH DECAY A RAND Initiative to Restore the Role of Facts and Analysis in Public Life “RAND is studying ‘Truth Decay’—the diminishing role of facts and analysis in American public life. As a nonpartisan institution that seeks to advance the public good through research and analysis, RAND is concerned about the threat Truth Decay poses to evidence-based policymaking. We invite fellow researchers and engaged stakeholders to join our efforts to find solutions.” https://www.rand.org/research/projects/truth-decay.html
  8. Ha! Yes, don't let this lady fool you with that RED dress she's wearing. You see that little BLUE animal on the table? What a deviously clever message. And God, those ugly tattoos on her legs! There's no telling where else she's tattooed. The more people who know it the better: Stay away from this woman!
  9. Meet a new Republican senator! Former Auburn football coach, now Alabama senator, Tommy Tuberville, on the three branches of government and on the origin of World War II: “’Yeah and that’s how our government was set up,’ Tuberville said in response to a question about a politically divided Congress. ‘You know, our government wasn’t set up for one group to have all three of branches of government. It wasn’t set up that way, our three branches, the House, the Senate and executive.’… “’As I tell people, my dad fought 76 years ago in Europe to free Europe of Socialism.’” This country will continue to be in good hands. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/11/alabama-senator-tommy-tuberville-blockhead-interview-wwii-socialism-american-government.html
  10. It's not just fascism, it's racism. I was born and raised in the segregated South, I still live in the town I was raised in, so I know it when I see it and I know what I'm talking about. I think I've noted before that every one of my surviving relatives that I know of is a racist. And guess what, they didn't vote for Biden. I don't have to ask them. Wheeler seems to have taken your reference to fascism personally. There are "a lot of good people" in Trump's base (even my relatives are "good people," relatively speaking), but there are plenty of fascists (and racists) in Trump's base too and Wheeler of course knows it.
  11. And I've called all the judges who have dismissed lawsuits filed by Trump's lawyers. The judges have assured me that they're not part of any anti-Trump conspiracy and that Trump's lawyers are simply full of crap.
  12. I'm mainly familiar with the coverage on CNN. In my view CNN covered most of Trump's administration with great restraint. It took them forever to stop beating around the bush and call Trump just what he is, a xxxx. That will be x'ed out here, of course, but the word means prevaricator, I guess that word is okay. He's a constant, pathological xxxx and CNN finally said it. Maybe my term "patriotic duty" was not the right one to use. Try the term "just telling the truth." Reporting facts, not Trump fantasies. Labeling constant falsehoods for what they are. I think that's fairly sound journalism. And IMO a shameless pathological xxxx in the White House is not exactly good for the country. In fact it's downright dangerous. But that's just my patriotic opinion.
  13. I agree. In a democracy I think the media felt a patriotic duty to push against something like Trump, and I can't blame them. The support for something like Trump in a democracy in unfathomable to me, unless it's because people in fact don't want democracy. And right now it looks like millions of Americans don't.
  14. A simple data input error corrected? The same kind of error could have been shown and corrected on FoxNews and other media covering the vote count several times during the day.
  15. Conspiracy theories have gotten such a bad name in the constant Trump blizzard of disinformation that I don't think Biden and Harris would touch the JFK case with a 10-foot pole. I would like to be wrong.
  16. Why provide these videos to us? What can we do with them? Why don't you provide them to Rudy Giuliani, who could use them? Don't you think these videos should be presented by Trump's lawyers to the courts? I've heard that there's a hotline that's pleading for evidence of fraud. Call and tell them what you've got.
  17. A friend just quoted a commentator to me who said, "Our whole lives are spent between sex and a crematorium."
  18. If there's any justice in the world, Trump will end up in the same place O.J. did (eventually). And I think the state of New York is salivating while it waits for Trump to leave office.
  19. I know that covid-19 has "worked convincingly" on almost 240,000 Americans.
  20. — George W. Bush Bush should have added, "And believe me, I know something about stealing elections."
  21. That was a great clip SNL showed last night, though I had seen it somewhere before. It was a white Bronco on the freeway with a bunch of police cars tailing it. They said it was Trump in the Bronco.
  22. I'm always interested in what God's people have to say. This morning in his internationally televised Sunday morning church service, Donnie Swaggart slightly changed his customary boast about him and his congregation going to heaven. He said, "We are leaving this world and crooked elections behind." He then said, "The election is not over," so "we should be in prayer." I was wishing that I had a custard pie to throw at the TV set, but it would be too much of a mess to clean up.
  23. He'll probably ask his hottest female followers to join him on a rocket ship to the nearest passing comet. (Melania, if she's still around, will beg off, claiming she has a fear of heights.)
