Mark Knight Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Sandy, I believe another "tell" about this man is that his rebuttal posts bring up unrelated topics, as if to change the path of the discussion. Donald J. Trump's presence on or absence from Twitter is inconsequential, IMHO, because Trump still has avenues to make his views, however absurd, public. The M$M that Koch and Ben demonize still hang on Trump's every word. They sprint to be the first to publicize his every word posted to his Truth Social medium. And yet Mr. Koch still claims that Trump's bloviations have been "Cancelled" in the media. Such claims are a deviation from what is actually occurring. Where I was raised, an untruth is still an untruth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMLO Mexico's President didn't. Can you have a Democracy without Freedom of Speech? If a person yells "FIRE!" in a crowded theater, he should be silenced. He has lost his right to free speech... at least till tensions die down. That is essentially what happened to Trump and his Twitter account. It was right to "cut his mic."

Douglas Caddy Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Any legislation passed by Congress to assist the rebuilding in Florda stemming from the recent hurricane should contain a provision that none of the funds can used by the State of Florida in the transportation of migrants from one state to another state of those who had crossed the borders of the United States Edited October 3, 2022 by Douglas Caddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be understood but specifying it in the legislation would make it unquestionable. I'm still questioning why, after unanimously voting against appropriations for hurricane relief [with the exception of Senator Marco Rubio, who failed to attend the vote], Florida's congressional delegation is pressing for even more federal aid. Do they simply want to vote against federal funds again? I don't see their point. Apparently, they WANT the money from the federal government. But they want to be seen as voting against spending federal funds to do it. That's the only answer that I can see, and even that doesn't make sense.

Douglas Caddy Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 From a New York Times editorial today titled, "The Supreme Court isn't listening, and it is no secret why." The actual cause of its historic unpopularity is no secret. Over the past several years, the court has been transformed into a judicial arm of the Republican Party. This project was taking shape more quietly for decades, but it shifted into high gear in 2016, when Justice Antonin Scalia died and Senate Republicans refused to let Barack Obama choose his successor, obliterating the practice of deferring to presidents to fill vacancies on the court. Within four years, the court had a 6-to-3 right-wing supermajority, supercharging the Republican appointees’ efforts to discard the traditions and processes that have allowed the court to appear fair and nonpartisan.

Matthew Koch Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 7 hours ago, Steve Thomas said: - Donald Trump - "The radical Democrats believe in abortion and really right from the moment of birth, and even after birth. You can't let this happen," the former president said." I'm still scratching my head over that one. Steve Thomas Hi Steve, My parents live in Colorado this is true: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/250895/colorado-governor-signs-bill-codifying-access-to-abortion-contraception From the article "The law enshrines into statute the exclusion of any rights to unborn children, allowing abortion for any reason— including reasons of disability, sex, and race— up until birth." You can ask William he lives in Colorado... Virgina had a law were you could even kill the baby after birth. Trump quote is accurate.

Trump has sucked you into his alternative universe and I'm pretty certain that it'll be years before you finally work yourself out. My posts about you are really for the benefit of other readers. You can just ignore them. Ditto. I'm not going to engage further with M. Koch's alternate facts and MAGAt hijacking of this thread. As we have witnessed during the past few days, it's too much Koch elephant manure to shovel, and it detracts from our forum's focus on reality. Correcting Ben's repeated "Patriot Purge/J6 scrum" delusions has been onerous enough this year. I did respond to M. Koch's Fox News tropes blaming Biden for our 20 year Afghan War debacle, and Ben's equally absurd notion that George W. Bush is a "Donk hero." No mas. Edited October 3, 2022 by W.
