Mr Trump will be the last ever president of United States of America as after him it will no longer be the United States. $ will be the worst ever currency to hold on. Mark my words.

I'm entitled to defend myself against ignorant attacks with no substance .
If you don't get the nickname system by now just move on chief.
 
LOL, the imbecilic Trumptards would love an extended "Stay-At-Home", .........going to be a inbred baby boom.

Ya, many do. The first version wasn't all that great, imo - but good on balance.

Incidentally the main bad stuff was removed after the US left, lol.

Yeah, the mail-in ballot data for this special election is extraordinary:

"Tracking data shows a significant voting gap along generational lines. Roughly 56% of voters 65 and older returned a mail ballot. Just 19% of those younger than 35 did so. "

"There’s a voting gap along ethnic lines, too: While 40% of white voters returned their mail ballots, only 21% of Latinos did so. "

"But there is no doubt that a win for Republicans in a state that is overwhelmingly controlled by Democrats would be remarkable. "

Also this article says no advantage for either party: https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...-voting-by-mail-gives-one-party-an-advantage/

Yeah, it's utterly absurd that the US doesn't have widespread mail-in voting. It's simply good policy, not a partisan one. Works fine in all 5 states that have it universally.

And worth remembering about CA-25 that it was a huge aberration for Hill to win. That was the first time a Dem won there in 25 years.

It's fundamentally a more conservative district.

Like the time Trump said Obama wiretapped him, had it investigated and found nothing.

Or like the investigation into illegal voters in an election that Trump won, that found nothing.

Or Durhams investigation into the FBI.

So on and on and on.

Useful distractions for his base to go after who will conveniently forget the outcome.

Yep.

Frum is correct here:

U.S. reports record $738 billion budget deficit in April

The United States on Tuesday reported a record $738 billion budget deficit in April as an explosion in government spending and a shrinking of revenues amid the novel coronavirus pandemic pushed it deeply into the red.
www.reuters.com www.reuters.com
The Treasury Department said the budget deficit in April was the first to reflect the enormity of government spending that has been authorized to try to mitigate the economic impact of the crisis. The previous record budget deficit for any month was $235 billion in February 2020.

As the SCOTUS arguments happened yesterday, this is worth a read.

The White House argument is patently absurd. Even more absurd is that it isn't obvious that this will get tossed 9-0 as it should. The conservative politicians on SCOTUS are doing their damnedest to find any reason to give Trump a pass.

For Trump, Following the Law Is an Undue Burden

Much like their client, the White House’s lawyers don’t seem to understand what a president does, but they’re not letting that stop them.

What is ‘Obamagate’ and where did it come from?

In a weekend tweetstorm, US President Donald Trump unleashed a new and unfamiliar hashtag on the world - '#OBAMAGATE!'

What's Behind Trump's Criticism of Obama

Trump has disparaged the former president on issues ranging from the Iran nuclear deal, to trade negotiations with China, to the amount of time Obama spent playing golf during his presidency - but why?
www.voanews.com www.voanews.com


Experts say criticism of a former commander-in-chief is damaging to the office of the presidency, particularly on matters of foreign policy.

The TDS and Trumptard propagandists cannot see that the parasitic financial institutions ARE the common enemy of a flourishing population.

FROM EACH ACCORDING TO THEIR ABILITY. TO EACH ACCORDING TO THEIR NEED COMRADE.

You don't get to complain about the effects of wealth redistribution policies when you support them.

Tell you want. California and New York City should secede and form a new People's Republic of Progressivestan where they can have all the state funded abortions and welfare a good progressive can dream of.

That actually comes out of the Bible and is perverted by the marxists.
A freeloader socialist isn't giving anything he can according to his ability and he wants to receive more than what he really needs.

It fits better in a capitalist system were the market rewards people according to the value they contributed, the only system we have that can offer people freedom and which is responsible for uplifting the greatest amount of people out of poverty and into the middle class.
You can also freely give anything you have in abundance to anyone that seem needy. There's no reason for a communist dictator to try and micro-manage what a persons person's abilities or needs are and to enforce equality.

Anyway it was applicable to the early church in a small community. As basically give what you can to help support the the spread of Christianity and fund the disciples' travels and still relevant in churches today rather than the old testament rule of a straight 10%.

You specifically said go and burn a cross with your people.
What does that mean?

It's an action carried out on a piece of wood that usually involves fire. If you think burning a piece of wood is racist, then you must be the racist.

Isn't that the rule that even Jumanji22 proclaims and is common rhetoric here on the forum.

It's like calling a black person a baboon/monkey/k****r (apparently the only racists have an issue with this, it's not even racist). Or telling Muslim dudes to go jihad (which you have very eloquently addressed, maybe...maybe not).

I didn't call him a racist. But setting fire to a piece of wood does seem like it goes hand in hand with a lynching, in my head anyway for some reason.
