The thing about Democrats is that if they didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all. :-)
CNN is trying to regain its credibility after being notoriously hyper-partisan for the past 6 years. That, and it appears that "permission" has come down from the top that Biden is now fair game (as the Democrat powers that be clearly don't want him running again). As a result, CNN has, finally, started fact checking Biden.
Their official Presidential fact-checker is a reporter named Daniel Dale. He has been remarkably quiet ever since Biden got in (despite Biden's repeated whoppers of lies), but it looks like he has been unleashed. He therefore did a brutal take-down of Biden's midterm messages in his article Fact check: Biden’s midterms message includes false and misleading claim. He called out NINE significant factually inaccurate whoppers.
That's it. That's all. Congrats to CNN for at least trying. If you hyper-Democrat partisans were criticizing Trump over his lies, are you going equally hard after Biden?
Let the cognitive dissonance in the comments begin in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... GO!
I think someone is trying to earn a spanking from David.
ReplyDeleteNot for this blog. Hard for anybody to disagree with it!
DeleteLOL Of course Biden is Lying, He is a Politician, A Professional Cheat, Liar, Hypocrite and Thief.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!
DeleteI read your fact check article. The President’s remarks were pretty calm compared to the ex-president’s remarks last night in his candidacy announcement. Daniel Dale did a nice job with that.
DeleteFWIW, the 2 “M’s” Musk and Murdoch are both naturalized US citizens, and thus able to vote.
I really wish you’d stop commenting on our politics: it’s not your battle and you’re not affected by US policy decisions, at least not directly. I read the blog for the spanking stories. If you won’t agree to be subject to Greg Abbott or Ron Johnson’s whims regarding your healthcare, just STFU!
Your outrage at my comments on US politics amuses me.
DeleteYou are right madam,women are too emotional for politics. The topic of Zionism touches your hysteria button.Apart from that you have interesting comments. Here we esteem a woman such as you are. We call her the mare that needs to be riden with the chicote. A worthsome wildcat you are.
DeleteI'll take that as a compliment, as it sounds kinky.
DeleteSo, thank you!
Is it okay for a left wing loony to fall in love with you? Not asking for a friend. PS I'm a spanking virgin, so be gentle with me PPS what if he's a closet junta fetishist?
DeleteSure, all political stripes are very welcome to fall in love with me and spew their man-juice into their hands in my honour (but if you REALLY love me, you'll eat it).
DeleteHey, a lap Libtard might inspire you and give strength to your arm!
DeleteMan-juice? We libtypes don't have any..
DeleteMisstress Julie,can I be your west coast Asian sub boy? I'll do anything to pleasure you! But I won't grovel.I've always been dead-set against groveling. .
DeleteFiona: yes. Good workout routine for upper body. Every gym should have a few lap libtards available for that. :-)
DeleteMan-juice. Well, they do have that drippy fluid that oozes and leaks out when they see a pretty conservative gal.
I also despise grovelling, unless it's sincere in the sense they are grovelling to be spared their punishment, then a bit of a grovel is okay. Futile, but okay. But you have to understand that I get immense pleasure from blistering a boy's bum black and blue. AFTER that, then sure, in the more conventional manner of tongue in my asshole, or even pussy if in the mood. But you would have to really, really earn that. Not sure you'd be up to it, you know?
Know why many of us Asian boys are sissies? Because of hot white doms like you! My man clit is leaking as I write this, thinking of you.
DeleteExcellent!
DeleteJulie,you should be ashamed of yourself for promoting anti-Asian racism. We should be fighting racism not "getting off" on it. I am an Asian man,also on the West Coast, and I can tell you in all truth that many of us are as masculine as the white guys. Probably more so because we rely on brains,not big he-man biceps. You should retract all racist comments NOW!
DeleteAm I? I was not aware of that. I quite like Asians, and every other ethnic group you could name. All races have sissy boys, and God bless them.
DeleteYou are right,very correct,Miss Julie. Many of us Japanese men find white man very hot,not just gays. Can you show Japanese boy spanked and spermed by you with strap on dildo. You have many great admirals in Japan. You are the best of white women to us. We thankyou extremely.
DeleteI find all sorts of races and body types super hot! Vive la différence!
DeleteDo recall CNN changed ownership this year. Their ratings have been tanking. Despite not winning a lot of seats, the total vote on the right was up pretty well this year races like NY governor, usually a 20+ point Dem win, was more like 5. They say they want to appear nonpartisan, as opposed to Fox and MSDNC.. I mean MSNBC. They had been checking the right.. so they had to start checking left. This could be legitimate business motivation, not political. Or it could be political. Time will tell
ReplyDeleteYes, and the new CEO has stated that the bias needs to go and CNN needs to get back to being more objective, which I imagine comes as a real shocker to the left who believed that was always the case 😂. It is true CNN ratings had tanked, and they were one of many in a crowded field of leftist propagandists, so it does make business sense. But, as you say, we'll see. So far the hits against the current administration have been extremely mild.
DeleteGOP equals Rejected fascist losers
ReplyDeleteBTW one of your Canadian friends tried to kill our 80 year old speaker but had to settle for her 82 year old husband

Elon Musk and Rupert Murdock are legal immigrants who can’t vote in America either:)
Thank god
He was an illegal immigrant protected by SF's sanctuary city laws. Glad you willingly kept him. You own that one.
DeleteAnd yet the right keeps focusing on people of color being the problem.by vilifying immigrants, which has always been an American thing to do. Ask yourself why Fox News focuses on “caravans” when we have a worker shortage and the facts show immigrants contribute less crime not more. Fox and the right just uses fear to convince people the country will be ruined if we are all equal and aren’t ruled by whites. Sad
DeleteThat's a reach. The right is composed of people of all colours, and immigrants of all stripes, who generally think illegal immigration is... illegal, and should be shut down.
DeleteI myself am pro legal immigration, up to a reasonable point, independent of race and religion.
The magnitude of the previous President's lies is so wildly greater than that of any other American President or politico that fretting about Biden's comparatively minor foibles is ludicrous. It's like how media--especially the NY Times, made such a big deal out of Hillary's e-mails. Compared to the thousands of lies we then experienced from the White House from 2017 to 2021, chronicled by various media, they were next to nothing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your cognitive dissonance take. I was getting worried there.
DeleteNow, which nine Trump "lies" would you categorize as worse than the nine "foibles" in the CNN article, made in the course of ONE speech.
Hillary's emails were pretty major shit. She was Sec of State and routed classified emails to a server in her home, then actively destroyed evidence when asked to produce it using bkeacbit and literal hammers!
As I said, if Dems didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all 😂
So typical… like we aren’t passed lying and onto major crimes. Obviously Trumpty Dumpty has the worse night ever and you have to deflect. It’s ok, sucks to be a trumper right now as he is going down almost as hard as your ideology. Trump is going to lose his business and possibly his freedom, not because of his ideology, but because he is a criminal. Criminals shouldn’t run for president, they should just stay rich assholes that never get called out except by Bernie Sanders. Trump has always been a waste of life it just takes a while for come around to go around because we trust people to be human.
ReplyDeleteYour inability to cite a lie worse than Biden's is noted. Your inability to cite a crime President Trump is accused of is also noted. Your surrender is gracefully accepted.
DeleteI get that you're desperate for attention and the fumbling approval of a bunch of feckless idiots who think maaaaaaybe if they agree with you vocally enough, you *might* just pay attention back. But i really just want to know...is there any right-wing talking point you disagree with, or do you actually believe they're right about literally everything? Because if you do, that might be the first indication that you're not really paying attention. Also, for all the accusations and investigations and hearings lobbed at Hillary, she never ducked them. Never pled the fifth. But your tubby idol there is literally trying to get the Supreme Court to help him get out of testifying or handing over his taxes.
ReplyDeleteYour complete lack of any point at all within your ranty word salad is noted. As I said above: cognitive dissonance.
DeleteYou're a Hater because you disagree with the liberal world view. We have laws against hate speech.Therefore you should be arrested. Your hateful views have no place in the new world order.
DeleteThey should lock me up and throw away the keys. Daily fuckings from libtards... oh... they can't get it up? Ok, then, from my fellow conservative inmates!
DeleteI have a dream.I dream of a day when little white-livered bois and little black-bottomed doms will play together in peace.They will put away politics and live happily under the benign gaze of the Grand Inquisitor.
DeleteA great sentiment :-)
DeleteHeres some fun ones about the lies but i do believe the real crimes will come out with those tax returns - which he is probably fighting so hard against bc hes just a private guy :)

I've previously debunked the "30,000 lies" - like the one where he said the Big Macs if stacked would be a mile high.
DeleteIf that's the best they could do for the "top 15", it's not too convincing!
I wonder if these people are paid trolls? Dem paid? CCP paid? Is there a difference? I'd be honoured if that was the case! Over the target.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Biden and still believe he’s way better than Trump. He shouldn’t lie or exaggerate and I did not enjoy that speech. But you’re delusional if you think it’s the same as Trump. You want a bigger lie from Trump than anything Biden said? Trump still says he won in 2030x Trump is giving a big speech today. I look forward to reading your post that shows a fact check on that speech.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate you saying the first part.
DeleteStating the he believes the 2020x was rigged is an opinion he is entitled to hold. As we have learned, the election system is imperfect and has many problems, not the least of which that it was not designed to be fully auditable. The Dems held a similar opinion about the 2016x.
Yes, am looking forward to his speech.
As ususal your spot on Julie. Most of the leftist idiots out there still haven't got it through their heads just where these leftist, SOCIALIST, Idiots in control are taking this country. I can't believe that these people have risen in power, even in your country. They have been working on this transition by starting in our schools with the 5-6 year olds, by not teaching the basics of what a man and a woman are. Even our latest supreme court justice refused to give the definition of a woman.
ReplyDeleteWe need to go back to reading writing and math and quit teaching these kids that they aren't normal by not being happy being male or female. Kids need to be kids and as they get older let their parents teach the kids about the birds and the bees. We also need to teach these kids about the history of this country and of our success and our failures. This teaches them not to return to our mistakes of yesteryear. As the older generation we need to return our children to the values of yesteryear and the family value.
As far as Biden goes, he doesn't know what day it is or who is telling him how to run this administration. It would be interesting to find out who is really running things. We need a good centrist right wing President to bring this country back. As much as Donald Trump wasn't always politically correct he accomplished more than any president to bring us back to prosperity, and security. We are a nation under attack by the leftist Dumbocrats, calling us all racist and mysoginist and we need a change in power and elections that are honest and counted in one day not this 2-6 week bullshit. Even Florida can count 7.5 million in one day why can't it all be done and be done securely.
We need a strong President and soon, whether its Trump or Desantes. Bring them on. MAGA is not a bad word it stands for Make America Great Again. Praying for your Country also. Firefighter Steve
Thank you Steve, well said. Klaus Schwab seems to be in power. Did you see the pic of Schwab at the G20? What's he doing at the G20?
DeleteAhh, yes, the expected response after the thorough bitch slap down Trump received from the American voters! And how did he respond? Like a petulant little child who didn't get his way. But, to answer your question, yes, anyone who broke the law should be held accountable for their actions - whether Trump who broke the law soooooo many times and potentially Biden as well. Still waiting to hear your repudiation of all things Trump...
ReplyDeleteBitch slap? Republicans gained a plurality of the popular vote, and Trump-endorsed candidates are winning at around the 90% level. Not bad.
DeleteSo, Trump broke the law soooo many times? Can you give one example?
Acting Officials
DeleteThe law allows for maximum of 210 days after a position becomes vacant for it to be filled. Keeping an officer in such an “acting” position past the statutory limit violates the appointments clause. Although past presidents have employed a handful of unlawfully serving officers, Trump made an art form of it.
2. Steel Tariffs
The Trump administration violated the separation of powers in March 2018, when it issued a 25 percent steel tariff under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act (TEA).
3. Border Wall
Trump once again violated the separation of powers when in February 2019 he repurposed funds from the military budget to build his border wall without congressional approval. (OOPS!)
4. Bump Stocks
Despite considerable bipartisan support in Congress for passing a bill banning bump stocks, President Trump told members of Congress not to address the issue. Instead, the president directed his administration to ban bump stocks by reinterpreting existing laws that ban fully automatic guns. Thus, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms reinterpreted the word “machinegun” to include bump‐stock devices, despite a longstanding determination under both the Bush and Obama administrations that bump stocks did not fit within the legal meaning of “machinegun.”
As a result, possession of a bump stock is now a crime, even though Congress has never passed a law criminalizing the devices. Before the ban was enacted, members of the president’s own administration had warned him about approach, saying that only Congress has the power to ban bump stocks.
Have you had enough yet, Julie? Oh, no, let me go on...
5. Bombing Syria
Another instance of Trump’s ignoring the separation-of-powers doctrine to do what he pleases is his air strikes in Syria. In April 2017, the Trump administration ordered the bombing of a Syrian military base to “save” Syrians from the Assad regime. Regardless of the humanitarian justification, Trump did not inform Congress of this bombing mission, much less inform Congress. He did this very same thing again in 2018.
6. Covid Executive Orders
Trump built on Obama’s pen-and-phone governance to bypass the constitutional structure when he short-circuited congressional negotiations over COVID relief in August 2020 by issuing four pandemic-related executive orders. These orders extended unemployment benefits and placed the onus on states to top them up, suspended the payroll tax for many workers, facilitated an eviction moratorium later declared by the Centers for Disease Control, and suspended student-loan repayments. While these may or may not be sensible policies to provide relief to low-income people economically hurt by the global pandemic, even leading progressive legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky found them unconstitutional.
Oh, I see. Shifting the goalposts to questionable use of executive powers. Obama was the master of that. It's just the way the game is played nowadays. But I agree with you in that I disapprove of most of that, but if one side does it, the other side has to as well or they're suckers, so blame Obama.
DeleteAnd, yes, Trump was bitch slapped? What part of that don't you understand. ALL of his endorsed candidates who cried wolf the past 2-plus years were SOUNDLY defeated. Don't try and act like the gains the Republicans made had anything to do with Trump because they....did....not....whatsoever. That's why he ranted and raved the night of the election and even into the next day. The American people know his election wasn't stolen and are sick of anyone who would appoint him as the dictator he wanted the US to become. Thankfully the American people - Republicans and Dems alike - have had enough of him. BTW, I am an independent, and as I previously stated, anyone who breaks the law should be held accountable for their actions.
DeletePolitico is a lean-left/centralist pub that reported on Trump's key races. This article - and many, many others showing the Republicans' disgust with the election results, refute your so-called 90 percent claim, so let's just label that has #FakeNews
DeleteThis piece shows in the most critical races for Trump's endorsements, the tally is 9 for, 9 against and 3 still to be decided. Certainly not a 90 percent record that you state - unless you are counting ALL Republicans who won - but that wasn't the convo, was it, Julie? No, the original comment was about Trump and you commented that he was not "bitch slapped" because there was a 90 percent win rate for Rs.
https://www.politico.com/2022-election/results/trump-candidates-endorsements-11-8-22/
He endorsed a bunch of candidates, 90% of those he endorsed won. Was his endorsement critical? It likely was in their primaries. Hard to know for the general.
DeleteA "bunch" is a nebulous figure and what makes it truly laughable is that you follow it by saying 90 percent were endorsed!!!!!! Here, however, is an actual fact from Ballotopedia: Trump’s endorsees won 15 of the 35 called battleground races (39%). This is telling because these are the same states in which he cried election fraud and kept visiting time and time again doing political rallies. It is a great day for democracy as the voters in those states ROUNDLY gave the orange-painted buffoon and his puppet candidates like Oz, who doesn't even live in the state in which he ran, by the way, the message that they are tired of his whining and political games and want someone in office who believes in democracy and our nation not becoming a dictatorship. RE: Jan. 6.
DeleteOk, less nebulous, at last count, of the 235 candidates he endorsed, 213 won, which is a 93% success rate. I'm not talking about only battleground districts. If you look at anybody's success rate on battleground districts, of course it would be lower, duh, but that's not how these things are measured for anybody else.
DeleteThe whining about "dictatorship" is wearing thin. He had 4 years in office then stepped down. Not a hint of dictatorship. Grow up.
we all consume the information we desire - I would prefer a younger POTUS - but 46 did quell the pandemic, achieve high employment (compared to the world) , now lower gas prices, infrastructure bill passed, medical bill passed to reduce drug costs and even directed $$ to repair parts of the wall - but a change is anticipated
ReplyDeleteActually, more pandemic deaths under Biden than Trump, but nobody "quelled" anything. It went away on its own as do all viruses.
DeleteWe'll see how employment holds up as Biden's inflationary recession kicks in.
Infrastructure bill is mostly a useless green boondoggle.
Trump was the one who had the greatest impact on lowering drug prices, not Biden.
And then there's the fact he's senile and drugged up out of his mind, but ignore that 😂
Double standards: you call out CNN for not liking republicans (no self respecting person does), yet ignore fox “news” sucking off republicans at every turn.
ReplyDeleteThis is why nobody takes you seriously for your political bullshit.
I was congratulating CNN for being more even-handed. Read my post before commenting, geeze.
DeleteFox News is relatively unbiased. Fox Opinion is, of course, heavily biased. But you don't watch Fox, so how would you know?
Democrats are not going to lose anymore they in general are better at politics than republicans. They are in it to win it while republicans are trying to do what may seem right for the country and is common sense. Also 60% of the country likes the democratic platform. All that red on silly district maps is extremely rural areas with very few voters. So unless republicans start embracing some liberal ideas (abortion, gender identity, etc.) and let go of the religious right they are going to eventually go extinct. Pretty much anyone under 35 wants what the Democrats are selling regardless of the future consequences those policies have.
ReplyDeletePopular vote in midterms was 51.7% for the Republicans. Making up a lot of ground in states they did not win this time. A key voting block that disproportionately helped the Dems was young unmarried woman. No hope for those sluts, need to work around them 😂.
Delete“No hope for those sluts, need to work around them” – Julie, the Slut-Tamer, Delmar
DeleteI tend to steer clear from such inflammatory remarks.
STILL, it’s a wasted opportunity that it wasn’t “need to [spank some sense into] them”.
Men should be the ones to fix/spank young men of the opposing political affiliation. And women should do the same to the young ladies’ counterpart.
Now, that’s some demeaning political take I can support (in a fictional setting)! 😉
I would take the vote away from women - too emotional, too easy to manipulate with emotional appeals in general.
DeleteBut your spanking idea is second best!
If you get a chance look up Klaus Schwab on the internet. Really interesting as they say most leaders refer to him as the Anti-Christ. He advocates for lockdowns even certain religions. Google Him if you want your eyes opened then maybe just maybe some of the blue dog democrats will realize where their dumbocrat buddies are leading this country. Now they are trying to take our cash system and make it cashless by July of 2023. Give me Liberty or Death. I prefer death. Firefighter Steve
ReplyDeleteI know of Schwab and am deeply suspicious of him!
DeleteThe general concept of criticizing politicians "unfairly" or in service of the critics' agenda, is a good thing in my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteIt just needs to be done by everyone with agenda to every politician of the differing agendas.
Hopefully any overzealousness from the opposing parties will cancel each other out. What will remain is what is necessary for all democracies - politicians being held accountable for what they promise, say and do!
One thing I would dare say is positive about Biden's presidency is that he doesn't have any "fanboys" like, say, Obama or Trump had. Trump in particular, and I hope this won't be seen as partisan take, "could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose votes"! Now, that's potentially very dangerous.
Mediocre politicians, on the other hand, have built-in safety against that kind of risk!
I love holding the powerful to account, even if over-zealously (but short of outright setups and lies). The Dems HAVE NOT been appropriately held accountable so far by the the majority of the mainstream media. Trump was subject to setups and lies.
DeleteLike to be an outlet for your frustrations. A dem puppy to be feminized, humilated, forced bi, and serve..
ReplyDelete-dreaming of your control
You wouldn't be Dem for long under my watch 😉.
DeleteI don't have cable, but I have noticed thru other sources that CNN is turning a little right. Every election is a choice between “my” party and the “national traitors". May I say that Biden is the most dangerously radical President in US history. You sure can suck in the snarky libtards.
ReplyDeleteHopefully more balanced, as opposed to right wing, as news should strive to be.
DeleteYes, I enjoy it!
Here is Daniel Dale’s analysis of Trump’s 2024 announcement last week. He told many untruths including ones that have been debunked repeatedly. Any honest comparison of Biden and Trump’s speeches will show that Trump uses dishonesty way more.
ReplyDeletehttps://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/11/15/politics/fact-check-trump-announcement-speech-2024/index.html
Yes, I saw the speech and noticed the same inaccuracies. Most were directionally true exaggerations to make his point in a more engaging manner. (e.g. "They say the ocean will rise 1/8 of an inch over the next 200 to 300 years. But don't worry about nuclear weapons that can take out entire countries with one shot.") - that was "fact-checked" as false. 😂
DeleteBy contrast, Biden's lies tended not to be exaggerations, but outright directionally wrong lies.
Call it delusion or cognitive dissonance but you’re wrong. He told many outright lies and you had to have seen that. He claimed China had never paid tariffs before him. They had paid billions under Obama. He also exaggerated or misstated figures like gas prices, the cost of materials left behind in Afghanistan, gas prices, etc. But also outright lies.
DeleteIt's hyperbola, which is a form of lie. Exaggerating to make a point more compelling. Unlike Biden who makes claims that are the opposite of the truth.
DeleteTrump does it for effect. He gets people talking about whether it was really $0 in tarifs from China before him, or some number which is much smaller than what Trump did. There is no dispute that Trump holds the record for tariffing other countries that tariff the US.
It’s not hyperbola. Saying no President had ever imposed a tariff on Chinese goods when many had is a lie. Saying he completed the border wall is a lie. Saying Obama took Presidential records with him is a lie. Not hyperbola. Lies intended to misrepresent the actions of others. You see that right?
DeleteAs I said above, hyperbola is a form of lie. I agree with you.
DeleteThe difference is that the things Trump lies about are generally directionally true. Yes, other presidents also tariffed China, but nowhere near to the same extent.
Other politician's lies are completely directionally wrong, e.g. that Biden lowered gas prices (yes, they lowered a bit, but it was due to his policies that they rose so much in the first place.)
You see that right?
Sorry Trump’s lies are directionally untrue. He says Obama took papers like he did and he didn’t. Biden’s untruth about gas prices is completely in line with Trump’s misrepresentations. He wants to lower gas prices like Trump wants to complete the wall. Neither happened. And Trump’s habitual exaggerations are dangerous like saying a Russian missile hit 50 miles into Poland. I know you are choosing not to see fault but you started this conversation on lies and by any measurement Trump’s record on that front is abysmal.
DeleteOkay, can we agree we're 50-50 on the lies?
DeleteNot even close. Trump lies way more and since you even ask that, you are definitely too far gone. You pretend you want to debate but you’re head is too far in the sand to hear anything but what you already believe. You can call out Biden for lies but Trump’s are like a fire hose. I now realize you don’t see that because you’re choosing not to look.
DeleteAs a Democrat though I am thankful for Trump. The Dems stayed in control of the Senate and defied history in how many seats they retained in the House. So thanks to Donald Trump and those that believe he is the same as other politicians.
I watched a Mike Pence town hall last night and I disagree with his views and he definitely exaggerated but he is way better than his former boss.
Coming off a post that points to CNN of all places lie-checking Biden 9 significant times in one speech. Unreal how deep your head is in the sand.
DeleteMy head is above ground and 9 untruths v 20 untruths is not 50:50 unless you choose to be delusional. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/11/15/politics/fact-check-trump-announcement-speech-2024/index.html
DeleteYeah, I read the 20. All of them are hyperbolic type lies done for effect. I.e. is inflation the worst it's been in 50 years, or just really bad now. Who cares! It's really, really bad now.
DeleteBiden, on the other hand, claims gas prices fell during his administration, which is a directionally untrue lie.
You need to use discernment when comparing them, not prejudice.
Trump didn’t just exaggerate, he lied. He cited an incident where Biden thought he was in Florida when he was in Idaho. That was made up by a satirical web site and the incident never happened. And he accused Obama of taking Presidential records. He didn’t. And again I think saying zero in tariffs when it was billions is not an exaggeration, it’s a lie.
DeleteI think you mean to say Trump’s lies “feel true” but that’s only to those predisposed to agree with him. They are still lies.
His point was Biden had lost it. Directionally true based on all the confused incidents.
DeleteAnd yes, Obama took a lot of presidential records and held them for a long time, ostensibly to digitize them. NARA was in agreement with that. And NARA and Trump were in the process of reaching agreement on which documents were considered personal bt Trump when the raid occurred (and news has just dropped that was a huge nothingburger).
On tariffs, its directionally true that Trump did more tariffing of China than anyone before.
They don't "feel true", I agree with you they are untrue. However it is hyperbole, which he is known for. If he were ever to say something I consider to be directionally untrue, not just an exaggeration to make a point in a more entertaining way, I'd have a problem with that.
I do appreciate your posts because they give me insight into Trump supporters. How you can read those two articles and not see the difference is fascinating.By your own definition, most of the Biden untruths are “directionally true”. Unemployment is down. Corporate tax law has changed, Etc. Dale characterizes most of them as exaggerations in the article you posted. The fact you then say that Trump is just guilty of hyperbole but Biden is a huge liar is sadly predictable but sad nonetheless.
DeleteYes, some were exaggerations, and I was not concerned about those (e.g. how many miles travelling he spent with Xi, because, directionally, he has been close to Xi). But his claims that things are going in a certain direction due to his policies, when his policies take the thing in the opposite direction, are what I would call bald-faced lies, such as increasing social security, reducing the deficit, or lowering gas prices.
DeleteJust catching up and seeing you
Deleteposted that Obama took documents with the permission of NARAA. Where did you read that? Everything I see is that NARAA always had them and that Trump’s claim is a bald faced lie that he’s been repeating a lot lately.
It's more complicated than that. See https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/09/about_those_obama_classified_records_in_the_chicagoarea_furniture_warehouse.html
DeleteNARA is playing a game. Obama kept the records in a building owned by his foundation and under his control. NARA now claims that while they just happen to sit there, they are really owned and controlled by NARA.
It would be like Trump and NARA making a joint statement today that while Trump has physical possession of the documents in Mar-a-Lago, in fact, by agreement NARA owns and controls them.
But the NARA administrator is a rabid anti-Trumper, hence the different treatment.
Nope. Your article states it is a NARA controlled facility. That is the legal way these documents are to be handled. And yes if Mar a Lago was not controlled by Trump but instead was controlled by NARA then the situations would be similar. NARA is non-partisan and is “rabid anti-Trump” only in that they are rabidly pro-law. But I know this is wasted on you Julie but in case others reading this want the truth. Here is a Julie verified fact-checker’s take on why Trump’s claim is a lie. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/18/politics/fact-check-trump-special-counsel-response/index.html
DeleteMy understanding is that the building was owned and managed by Obama, and only nominally under NARA control. At any rate, it's a normal thing for all Presidents to go through a process with NARA to determine what they consider to be personal. The whole raid, it was recently reported, turned up nothing of value, just things President Trump considered personal mementos. Washington Post reported that. Typical leftist propaganda, attempting to smear their opponents, just like Russiagate all over again.
DeleteThe Washington Post said the documents show Trump
Deletewas trying to feed and protect his ego rather than purposely hurt national security. Still his actions of cavalierly handling such
material could have a negative impact and it’s still illegal. And if a Democrat has acted like that Conservatives would go crazy. And any reasonable person knows that.
You see the spin you're putting in it, right?
DeleteJulie, Biden is fair game for the leftist media now because they want him to resign after January 21, 2023. The 22nd Amendment makes that date relevant as that marks the point beyond two years of his term, thus if Harris is elevated to the presidency after that date, she will be eligible to run for two additional terms instead of just one if she’s elevated before that date.
ReplyDeleteThe comments about Biden’s cognitive issues will increase publicly. Behind the scenes there will be a meeting or two where he will be encouraged to resign or they’ll threaten the 25th Amendment. Eventually, he’ll resign “to spend more time with my family.”
Harris will not be the nominee in 2024 unless she completely reversed course. Instead, the DNC will tell her to choose Newsome as her VP. He will then spend the next 2 years running around the country getting national name and face recognition and doing the happy stuff that makes people feel good (visiting schools, military in hospitals, etc.) so that there’s a “good” association to his name.
Very perceptive.
DeleteI am totally voting for a Harris & AOC ticket. That will explode all the trumplican heads and the party will be finished. Then this country can move on into the 21st century like the rest of the civilized planet.
DeleteThat's a take. A dumb take, but a take.
DeleteTwo points:
ReplyDelete1. Isn't enough going on in Canada to capture your attention? Please leave US politics to the people who can actually vote here.
2. I've been listening to the "Trump Tapes." These are UNEDITED interviews with Bob Woodward. About 40 hours of Trump. If you want to learn what he really said, listen to this. It's fascinating. I can see why people like you would support him. One thing he isn't is stupid.
What happens in the US is critical to the rest of the world, and especially Canada. Or do you not consider your country to be a world power and leader?
DeleteInteresting, I did not know that was available. I'll have a listen. What part in particular are you most enraged by?
And what are "people like me"?
Yes, of course we are a world power. That doesn't give other countries' citizens the right to try to influence our politics. BTW, I agree that Biden is a schlub and if an honest Republican was running against him, I would have switched parties. Biden puts me to sleep.
DeleteI'm not enraged by the Trump tapes. Listening to the interviews is scary. He isn't stupid. That comes out clearly. He has an agenda that starts and stops with his personal power. I don't disagree with many of his ideas. I'm a bit of a nationalist. We could stop sending Canada money :)
That's cool. We don't want your money. You'll want our softwood lumber and energy, though.
DeleteOops, missed "people like you." They are people who want simplistic answers to complex questions. For example, We spend too much on Social Security. Answer: Pay less to our retirees. Here's one from the tapes: Trump: Why do we provide military support to rich nations like Japan and South Korea. He goes on a lot about making them defend themselves. "People like you" probably agree. Do you remember who we fought against in WW2 and who is forbidden to be a military power How about South Korea? Maybe, just maybe, if we didn't support them, they might ally with China who will. Is that dangerous to us?
ReplyDeleteWay off. I am not "people like you". You seem to be a bigot.
DeleteI'm not a bigot. I'm just tired of name calling and this blind belief that helping people is wrong. We don't need your wood or energy, by the way. I live in the Pacific Northwest where the majority of softwood used in the US originates. The oil sands of Canada are expensive to produce and represent a very small fraction of the global supply.
DeleteIf you use the term "people like you", it means that you have some imaginary group in your head that you demonize, not treating people as individuals, which is the heart of bigotry.
DeleteYou assume "people like me" are so evil we don't want to help people. Has it ever occurred to you that different people have different ideas of how best to help others, and that your way may not work?
So, in what way is the US sending money to Canada? Was not aware of any aid coming our way. Presuming you mean trade? Are you anti-free-trade?
I am in favor of free trade and support our cooperative anti-tariff agreements. The United States protective treaties provide military support for Canada. You benefit from our investments in our large, very expensive, military. I support protecting our neighbors for strategic and political value. But please recognize that I'm helping to pay to protect you. I'm happy we do.
DeleteWell, I don't think the US wants China or Russia taking over Canada, so it seems to be mutually beneficial. Countries don't do unilateral favours for one another.
DeleteBut you're just one small guy in a big country, and likewise I'm one small gal in a big country, and we both have as close to nothing to do with these decisions as is possible!
Politicians, Dems, Repubs, or the various Canadian flavors, pretty much all work for ... anyone but their constituency; their puppet masters pull their strings, and those puppet masters have agendas that politicians pretty much HAVE to lie about. The most basic lie is that; politicians pretend to work for the voters. There in Canada, your Trudeau, and Freeland work to implement Klaus Schwab's WEF agenda; here, it's Biden taking direction from Soros, Obama, Schwab, and our own domestic oligarchs. If they were up front about the real agenda... to enslave us all using poverty, fear, envy, hate... well, how would they be elected??
ReplyDeleteAnyway if you want a picture of where that is taking us, give this a read: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/quinn-you-cant-escape-fourth-turnings-winter-death
And if you want to understand how it's taking us there, and this is only one of them, consider how the politician's overlords used covid to bridle us, described well here... https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/road-totalitarianism-revisited

That guy is pretty extreme! I'm a bit more optimistic than him.
Delete... I used to be too. Then I started reading other than MSM, which here in US is now just the fourth branch of the entrenched (liberal democratic) government.
DeleteOld joke, pardon me if you've heard it... A Russian diplomat, flying commercial to the US from Russia, and seated next to an American, were talking... American asks what took the Russian to America.
Russian replied, I'm going to study the American methods/means of disseminating propaganda.
American asks, surprised, "What propaganda????"
The Russian just replied "Exactly."
And it's true.
C
I was always assumed reporters to be incompetent, but 2016 revealed that they are paid propagandists.
DeleteJulie, I admire you that you can deal with so many morons out there. You taught me something about Klaus Schwab. A lot more things make sense as I read about them. It's too bad that most people just don't get it that Trump only wants to Bring America back to the ways of an America first policy and take care of our people first. Keep up with your great Blog and don't pay attention to these morons that hate trump and over 80 million people that support him.Were just Deplorable and smelly Walmart shoppers. And they are mostly, bigoted, small minded, anti-religious, anti american socialists. Just Saying. Fire Fighter Steve
ReplyDeleteYup, there's a lot of people who don't swallow the bullshit anymore, and more every day.
DeleteTalking with you is classic Brandolini's law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini%27s_law
ReplyDeleteBrandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place. It states that "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."
You produce so much bullshit; it's so much work to even engage in a discussion with you.
You don't accept anything that normal rational people accept (at say any university where smart people tend to hang out). So it's impossible to engage. So many smart people just don't.
Are you referring to me calling attention to a CNN fact check on Biden as being "misinformation"? If not, please cite the one worst piece of misinformation you believe I've spread, and I'll either correct your misinterpretation of me, agree I was wrong on that one, or argue the point with you.
DeleteThis sort of comment, that carries no actual information or argument in any concrete form is the sort of thing educated people ought not to accept.
I doubt I'll hear from you again, though 😂.
You miss the point: I am not engaging with your nonsense at all. It's just a huge waste of time.
ReplyDeleteWill you convince anyone? no.
I don't intend to convince anyone that I am right or you are wrong in these messages; I am simply observing that trying to respond in a rational way to any of your political arguments is a waste of time. Nothing would ever change your mind about anything. You are a troll.
I don't think I missed the point at all. Your inability to cite even one example is noted. Your surrender is gracefully accepted.
DeleteHi. I'm a Typical Canadian Male (sorta). Okay, male-ish. I'm passive,supine,spine-less and overly polite. I don't like Trudeau,but I'm scared of him. Is that okay? I don't want to offend anyone, but where can I buy a Confederate flag? And a National Socialist flag? I'm asking for a friend.
DeleteYou seem to be the perfect Liberal, or NDPer or Green even. Sorry about never getting laid. Even though those guys have been acting like fascists and racially discriminate at the drop of a hat, I won't tolerate fascism and bigotry here, so begone whence you came, libtard.
DeleteI'm so offended! I'm going to my safe space and have a good cry. I cry not for myself but for all people-kind and for the basic dictatorship I admire. But I won't cry for veterans,because they used assault-style weapons. And they're bad white supremacists, and they're against womens' right to murder their unborn kids,and they're just plain evil, although I don't believe in Absolutes. Like,everything is relative, or something...
DeleteOff to the safe space!
DeleteThis is your style:
DeleteI know you are but what am I?
jeez
?
DeleteAMEN. ff steve
ReplyDeleteGlad Trump is running. He’s probably the one Republican who would lose to Biden (again).
ReplyDeleteThat's what everyone said in 2016 too, how'd that work out for you? :-)
DeleteIn 2020 people knew it was a disaster. In 2016 they didn’t know yet. He motivates the left to get out and vote like no one else … plus there’s a big chunk of conservatives who simply won’t vote for him (I know a bunch of them).
DeleteActually, by any measure you care to name, his Presidency was extremely successful. Peace in the Middle East, no new wars, best economy ever before COVID, lowest minority unemployment, the Southern border under control, new better trade deals, lower taxes and regulations, bringing industry back, low gas prices, energy self-sufficiency, criminal Justice reform, the list goes on and on.
DeleteYes, the deep state media brainwashing machine was against him, and people like you fell for all the hoaxes, one after an other, hook, line, and sinker. You probably still believe them all, even after they've been so thoroughly debunked.
Trump's 2020 loss was a testament to the power propaganda has over the weak-minded. We'll see after another couple of years with out of control crime, millions of illegal immigrants, massive inflation, out of reach gas prices, poor folks dying from the cold, if that's enough to wake you and your ilk up. I doubt it. I think you're happy being a brainwashed drone. Oh well.
Even if you believe all that, he still tried to overturn the election, which makes him a traitor and unfit for office.
DeleteHe questioned the election based on his opinion that it was rigged. Dems did the same in 2016, and went a step further by manufacturing the Steele Dossier, lying to the FISA courts, performing illegal surveillance of President Trump, and then fraudulently trying to remove him from office using that as a pretext. Which is worse?
DeleteI don’t recall a mob storming the Capitol waiving Hillary flags in 2016. Trump fomented an insurrection then watched with glee while it unfolded. His own advisers pleaded with him to make an effort to stop it and he did nothing. So yeah, that’s worse.
DeleteMassive rallies in Washington objecting to Trump's election and claiming it was Russians. Considerable violence and property damage on inauguration day. Madonna calling for bimbing the White House. You really don't remember? Selective memory. And then there's the time 150 cops got injured defending the White House during BLM riots and the administration was advised to sequester in the bunker.
DeleteOh yes, the bunker Trump wasn’t hiding in. LOL. None of those were attempts to overturn an election or to prevent the peaceful transition of power. Selective memory? It cracks me up that you can see no wrong in Trump but call others brainwashed.
DeleteHiding? Interesting how your definitions change when it's one side versus the other. Sign of a dishonest troll. Begone.
DeleteTrump's loss in 2020 was the result of rigged and fraudulent voting visible to the vast majority of people in the world except the powers that be and people with their head in the sand. How many cemetary occupants will roll up to vote in 2024...😋
ReplyDeleteLOL. He lost and he’ll lose again because he’s a loser.
DeleteA billionaire who became President, admired by half the world, is a "loser"? Interesting definition. Show some respect for your betters.
DeleteBetters? Trump leaves misery in his wake and is an awful human. He is “betters” to very few and certainly not to me. If it meant adopting his megalomaniacal world view, there is 0 chance I would trade places with him.
Delete"Misery in his wake" - who, precisely now, was left miserable and for what reason? MS13 gang members? Illegal immigrants? Criminals? Drug dealers? Human traffickers. Yup, all of those. Who else, other than snowflakes, of course.
DeleteYou are more manly than most libtard men. I wish Canadian men would grow a pair. Aside from the truckers we are wimps. I am a Canuck old stock gal and our guys are all pussies. Just like American Bidenites.PS our hero is a woman Tamara Lich
DeleteEvery contractor he stiffed. Every investor he left holding the bag after his numerous bankruptcies. Every employee who he hired that regretted ever making a deal with the devil. Every woman he assaulted. And every American who had to listen to him lie and belittle his way thru his Presidency.
DeleteLibtards have low T, no doubt. TLich is great.
DeleteEvery last one? 😂
Those who use the term libtard are uninterested in a civil discourse, but I’m a troll 🤷♂️
DeleteI'll engage with anybody who makes cogent points backed by evidence. In the absence of that, yup, libtard trolls.
DeleteYou aren’t really. Your mind is so made up that no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince you. You have an extreme case of confirmation bias. It’s your blog though. I’m just glad you can’t vote in our elections.
DeleteAnd you prove with yet another comment an inability to engage. The CORRECT response would be to actually come with a cogent point backed by evidence. 😂
DeleteLOL. What evidence do you want? A pro Trump mob attacked police and stormed the Capitol in order to prevent the peaceful transition of power at Trump’s urging. And even if you believe his statements were vague and he didn’t intend that outcome, he did zero to attempt to stop it for 3 hours, which he probably could have done with one tweet. Which of course begs the question, if he could have stopped it and didn’t even try, that was probably the goal all along. His own family was begging him to try… but he just watched gleefully. That makes him a traitor to democracy and an insurrectionist. The facts are there and not in doubt, you choose to ignore them. I can’t help that. 🤷♂️
Delete"Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!"
Delete"I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!"
Remain peaceful … perfectly fine to have overrun the barricades and have entered the Capitol. He didn’t say leave, he didn’t condemn, in fact he praised his supporters in his video that FINALLY asked his supporters to leave (3 hours farther the assault began). Never mind the further escalation well over an hour into the assault when he tweeted about Mike Pence’s “lack of courage”. He knew what was going on and he loved it. His reluctance to disavow proves it.
DeleteThe supporters he praised were the peaceful and law abiding ones who made up the vast majority of the folks who came to protest. Like when Dem politicians praised the BLM protesters, despite there being violence amongst them. As I say above, if Dems didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.
DeleteYou are right about Dems. I support Ye in what he said about BLM and certain other comments he made.Truth really does liberate, which is why lefties hate it.
DeleteThe BLM organization has proven to be an outright scam. Very little if any of the donated money went to assist black people. A lot went to re-election campaigns for Dems, and the rest lined the organizers' pockets. The whole protests were carefully orchestrated by Dems to sow division in an election year, give them a fictitious "issue" they could run on, and fund their campaign.
DeleteA lot of what Ye says is truth, but when he talks about "The Jews" as a collective, he's lost me. Yes, he considers he was screwed over by the recording industry, many of whose leaders happened to be Jewish, but projecting the acts of a few bad people onto an entire race and religion is evil bigotry.
" The Jews in the recording industry" is like "the Americans devised Free-Fire Zones" or "the Italians started the Mafia". It's a shorthand.
DeleteShorthand for what?
DeleteRead Professors Tony Martin and Kevin MacDonald. Also find out what two Jewish authors,Israel Shahak and Gilad Atzmon, have to say on this issue. BTW the ADL says the former are anti-semites and the latter are self-hating Jews. Go figure.
DeleteAlways up for a good read. Will look into them.
DeleteThat response will get you a rosy red rump, girl!
DeleteI'm always willing to read a different point of view, even (especially?) if everybody tells me not to. But my views on anti-Jewish bigotry are well-stated in my comment 6 up on Ye. But everyone is calling everybody else a Nazi or an anti-Semite or an Islamophobe nowadays, even when their target clearly is not, so I'd prefer to read the material directly for myself and make my own determination.
DeleteI even read "Mein Kampf" and read for myself what an unhinged Jew-hater Hitler was.
Two more interesting books are one by Byran Mark Rigg about Hitler's Jewish soldiers and the other by Edwin Black about the Haavara,, or Transfer Agreement.
DeleteIf you're talking about Nazi Germany's policy of incenting and facilitating Jewish emigration pre WW2, I know all about that. They tried to "purify" Germany that way before their "newer better" approach of just slaughtering Jews.
DeleteIt's reasonable to question things like the exact number of Jews killed and the exact method of killing them (reasonable but pointless), but trying to justify the mass slaughter, or sugarcoat it somehow, is not on.
Yes, there were prominent Jews who wanted to make Germany Communist, and prominent Jews who were bankers who were considered to be exploiting the common man. The evil shit happens when you generalize your hatred of individuals like that to their entire race, which has proven to lead to the fucking Holocaust, where millions of innocent Jews, men, women, and children perished.
While I know Ye is not advocating for a Holocaust (duh), that's why Ye's comments were so wrong. Comments exactly like that, perhaps even from people who would not have advocated for a "final solution", created the atmosphere where the Holocaust became possible, because too many people are tribal and easily brainwashed.
Shamir was openly pro Nazi.The Zionists were among the biggest financial supporters of the NSDAP. See Leni Brenner on the Zionist support of the National Socialists. The dovetail is obvious. Here in this country we know exactly who supported the Bolshevik murder machine. As St.Augustine says, the Truth does not need laws to defend,it is like a lion that can defend itself.
DeleteNot exactly. Certainly not if pro Nazi equates to anti Jew. The Stern Gang did try to make a deal with the Nazis in 1941 to oppose British rule in Palestine in exchange for the release of Jews from Nazi hands. Nazis and Shamir both wanted Jews out of Germany. Shamir's enemy was Britain, Hitler's enemy was Britain. That's as far as any proposed "alliance of convenience" went. Shamir was a tough sob. I can believe he would use Hitler to advance his aims.
DeleteGuess you didn't watch the Jan. 6th hearings.
ReplyDeleteWas not worth my time to hear a one-sided presentation of fanciful imaginings. Without any opposition in the room, you're not going to get truth, only propaganda.
DeleteGot it, but facts are facts. Burying your head in the sand and pretending like real information doesn’t count is as stupid as Kellyanne Conway’s “alternative facts” idea. You probably agree with her but that would never surprise me that you agree with con artists. The entire republican party is melting down. People are not sure that’s true but that’s only because things take longer than people expect. The party is done, Cruz, Graham, McConnell and of course Trump are all jokes now except to the few die yards who truly have cognitive dissonance. Good luck
DeleteYeah, keep telling yourself as the popular vote went more strongly Republican than ever before, and Republicans won back the House. But keep sucking down your copium.
DeleteJan. 6th hearings on TV was just left wing propaganda put out by rich hollywood actors that love all the chaos. More bullshit that Libtard Trolls just can't see because all they want to believe everything they see on CNN, etc. Firefighter Steve
ReplyDeleteThis proves what Ye is saying.
DeleteSOME of what he was saying.
DeleteTrumpty Dumpty! Fox News cutting away from his speech! Chris Christie speaking out against Trump. This is the beginning of the end. Go curl up in a ball and wheel cause reality is spanking you harder right now than Davis ever could. I hope Trump gets the nomination, it will be an easy cruise for the dens to victory. Most intelligent people have figured out his con game. Sad for those who are still suckers.
ReplyDeleteSuch insightful commentary. The quality of the typical Dem argument 😂.
DeleteNot an argument, just facts that make it quite obvious that you are on the wrong side of history. The GOP should have won this mid term by a land slide but Trump made sure they didn’t. Trump endorsing a bunch of people in ruby red districts doesn’t counter his beyond stupid picks in swing states where it actually mattered. Trump and your ilk are the past. Get used to it. Not an argument, just facts on the ground. I don’t blame you for not acknowledging reality but facts don’t care about your feelings snowflake.
DeleteDems got soundly trounced on the popular vote and lost the house. Good enough for me for now.
DeleteLove love love it. Republicans barely win the pop vote and suddenly dems are trounced. Nope! The tiny majority in the house and loss in the senate says it all. Not even gerrymandering the hell out of the red states can save them. I would love to see the reaction if republicans won the popular vote and lost the
DeletePres. to the dems. As it is they cry wolf every chance they get with ZERO evidence, just bs anecdotal claims. They would go ape shit if dems won only because the electoral college. Suddenly democracy would matter. I really hope
It happens soon. Dems tried to gerrymander New York and the courts said no and dems complied. Republicans ignored the courts and gerrymandered on. Which party believes in law and order? I’m guessing you will say the coup party. Not a surprise. Just more stupidity. Wake up!
Point is, pop vote in 2020 was a 4% gap in favour of Dems. In 2022 it's shaping up to be the opposite, so that's an 8% swing, which is very significant, which lead to taking the House given all the seats were up for grabs. In the Senate, only 1/3 of them were up for grabs, so not as good a result, and Dems saw big declines in their vote margins even in heavily Dem states. Take the L.
DeleteRe. Electoral college, Republicans are not whiny bitches like the Dems are. They play by the rules.
Re. election malfeasance, while the Republicans are better at gerrymandering for the most part (but see Nadler's district 😂), the Dems pushed all sorts of unconstitutional shit through the lower courts to get things like ballot boxes, mass mail in, lax signature checks, and ballet harvesting in. A lot of that was clearly unconstitutional and has now been reversed, but Mark Elias and team did a great job judge shopping, so hats off to them, they definitely cheated better in 2020 at least.
Doesn't it occur to you that increasingly large numbers of Americans have finally woken up to the fact that 2020 American presidential election wasn't actually fraudulent and that Donald Trump is just a very bad loser
ReplyDeleteThe good citizens of Arizona decided that Kari Lake wouldn't be a good choice for Governor. I've got republican friends in that state who said many Republicans chose not to vote as they just wish she'd concentrate on the state issue
Or Lauren Boebart who came very close to losing one of the safest republican seats in the House of Representatives due to her obession with the big steal
The question is that if the majority of Americans can see this why can't a Canadian citizen
Polling differs on the question, but there is no doubt that a significant number of US voters, across party lines, believe that election integrity is an important issue. In the 80% range (see https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/september_2022/election_integrity_61_say_issue_is_very_important).
DeleteIn a very recent poll (Nov 14) "The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 57% of Likely U.S. voters believe it is likely that the outcome of some elections this year will be affected by cheating, including 30% who say it’s Very Likely." (https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/voters_worry_about_election_cheating_don_t_trust_mail_in_voting)
So if you think everything is just hunky-dory with the election system, you are in the minority.
Any thinking person looking at what just happened on election day in Maricopa County would be utterly appalled. If you think "nothing to see here", you are blinded by your own partisan fervour and should take a step back and recognize that.
Rasmussen is hardly a credible source of data as it's a conservative polling organisation and known for it's push polling
DeleteDon't you stop and wonder why even Fox News doesn't run their polls on the news segments.
Talking heads such as Carlson, Hannity and Ingrams love them though
The difference is the Fox News journalists have a degree of credibility and won't touch them
As for Maricopa County, any thinking person sees a rather pathetic loser in Kari Lake who simply can't concede
Surely you're evidence is better than some Youtube videos
I don't agree. A big fault of their pollsters has been over sampling Dems. Rasmussen has a great track record of predicting things accurately. I think you make up spurious allegations, not by citing fact, but based on your prejudice and wishing to boost phony pollsters.
DeleteIf you think what I said was unjustified and biased, look in the mirror first.
The facts on election day failures in Maricopa are clear. You can't spin that. Sorry.
Biden conflated debt and deficit , twice, conflated relative and absolute twice about social security , and unemployment and gas prices. Whereas the other guy out and out lied all day every day about everything . Biden is fair game because he is running for office not because cnn is turning over a new leaf. Any comment on Stuart Rhodes seditious conspiracy conviction? You seem so adamant that nothing happened Jan 6.
DeleteWas not following the Rhodes case closely. He seems like an idiot and it seems like a ridiculous charge on the surface. He was "planning to" do something (bring guns to the capital to overthrow something), but then never actually brought his guns to the capital? How is that even illegal? And the VP of the organization was with the FBI? Shades on the Whitmer "kidnapping".
Delete
