• Donald Trump is a liar

    From Alan Ianson@1:153/757 to Aaron Thomas on Mon Jul 17 01:22:02 2023
    Trump is not missing. He's busy these days spinning up fresh
    conspiracies to rile up his base.

    Tucker Carlson is interviewing all the Republican presidential candidates to figure out which ones are RINOs, but Trump didn't participate just yet.

    Tucker Carlson is a liar.

    Trump doesn't "spin anything up."

    Donald Trump is a liar of epic proprtions. He always has been and always will be.

    He's right about everything he says. The media is full of it.

    The media?

    How can you trust the media??

    I trust the facts.

    They exploit black, gay, an now hispanic people on a daily basis. Is that socially acceptable behavior in your social circle?

    I don't see any of that in my social circle.

    It's hard to trust anyone besides Trump. These other guys just emerged
    from out of nowhere. Trump can't even get a decent running mate because everyone just sucks so bad.

    Which ones do you think emerged from out of nowhere? There are some I'd
    not heard of before, but most of them have held office before and some for
    a while. They are known entities to many.

    Perception plays a part. Vivek, for example, doesn't get much MSM air time (or didn't until recently). So he looks like he just "emerged out of nowhere" if you weren't watching other sources of news.

    But sometimes they really do appear out of nowhere. In our last Gov election in Michigan, we were paying attention to the candidates. Then in the month before the election this Tudor Dixon magically appears and grabs a bunch of of the Rep votes - just enough to pull the other candidates down and let the incumbent traitor/tyrant "win".

    He is the only one I can think of that I didn't really know much about beforehand... at least out of the serious contenders. He does seem smart,
    and well spoken.

    Ya, I like him. He doesn't have the presence of Trump, but he seems to have a good head on his shoulders and his platform isn't "take from the 'rich' and give to the poor".

    I know that happens. In the case of Michigan, I would not doubt the possibility that Dixon's magical appearance did exactly what it was intended to.

    That was my take on it too.

    The other candidates, well I've heard of them, but why do they want to be president all of a sudden? They haven't done enough to prove themselves, and I'm willing to bet that we'll have buyer's remorse later down the road with any of them.

    The leftists are still leftists - I don't think that
    moderates are a real thing. A headline reading "Trump
    partners with former Democrat" would frustrate me.

    Moderates like me are a real thing. I also think that if we could get statistics on where voters placed themselves, it would divide equally
    among liberals, moderates and conservatives.

    I don't know if I'd call him "wonderful", but he is well spoken, talks the anti-Woke talkin points and seems very intelligent.

    But I understand your suspicion. After the diaster of Tudor Dixon here in Michigan, I'm very leery about "magic" candidates on the Republican side.

    I still think that Tudor was an Elitist plant to pull votes away from better Republican candidates that would have made it much harder for the Dems to cheat in the last election.

    The other candidates, well I've heard of them, but why do they want to
    be president all of a sudden?

    Sometimes just to get exposure for other offices in the future.

    I think you are right about the cancelling thing. Then again, I have some leftist friends who believe that there is no radical left and that they are moderates. Knowing that they supported the antics of Antifa in 2020, I
    wanted to ask them if they really believe that Antifa is a arm of the
    "radical middle" but I didn't want to get drawn into their yelling/cursing others into submission routine.

    I still believe that the 2020 election was interfered with;

    In what way?

    Lots of ways: Nevada turned election day into election week-and-a-half. (Allowed time for Biden to catch up.)

    NY sent mail-in-ballots to all registered voters throughout the state.
    (Allowed time for Biden to catch up.)

    Covid was engineered for the sole purpose of removing Trump from office. (People often blame the sitting president for everything.)

    Every TV show, TV channel, and celebrity espoused anti-Trump culture.
    (All we know about Trump is what we hear in the media.)

    The Trump-Russia collusion story.
    (Was proven to be false.)

    I consider all this stuff "election interference" because it was all orchestrated for the sole purpose of altering the election outcome, and it just barely worked (Obama was shocked that nearly 1/2 of America's voters didn't fall for it.)

    What else did he lie about?

    More recently Trump has said that the DOJ, Justice department, and the Biden administration have weaponized against him.

    Who's to say that it's a lie? There are other people repeating the claim. Nothing's been proven otherwise yet.

    These are obvious lies. Trump is being investigated and/or arrested because of his crimes.

    Trump is a huge threat to Democrat access to taxpayer revenue. Money makes people evil. Evil people will do anything they can to maintain the flow. Trump hasn't hurt the American people in any way at all, but Biden has, yet all the eyes are still focused on Trump.

    In what way?

    Lots of ways: Nevada turned election day into election week-and-a-half. (Allowed time for Biden to catch up.)

    Biden didn't need to catch up, the votes needed to be counted.

    NY sent mail-in-ballots to all registered voters throughout the state. (Allowed time for Biden to catch up.)

    See above.

    Covid was engineered for the sole purpose of removing Trump from office. (People often blame the sitting president for everything.)

    Covid had nothing to do with the election.

    Folks may have taken Trump's actions or lack thereof around covid into their vote but covid did not change the election.

    Every TV show, TV channel, and celebrity espoused anti-Trump culture.
    (All we know about Trump is what we hear in the media.)

    We all know Trump for who he is. He is not camera shy.

    The Trump-Russia collusion story.
    (Was proven to be false.)

    It was not proven false. That is magical thinking.

    I consider all this stuff "election interference" because it was all orchestrated for the sole purpose of altering the election outcome, and it just barely worked (Obama was shocked that nearly 1/2 of America's voters didn't fall for it.)

    There is no basis in fact for any of that.

    What else did he lie about?

    More recently Trump has said that the DOJ, Justice department, and the
    Biden administration have weaponized against him.

    Who's to say that it's a lie? There are other people repeating the claim. Nothing's been proven otherwise yet.

    The courts.

    Many (something like 60) court cases were filed but they all failed for lack of evidence.

    These are obvious lies. Trump is being investigated and/or arrested
    because of his crimes.

    Trump is a huge threat to Democrat access to taxpayer revenue.

    Trump is a huge threat to democracy and all Americans. Democrats and Republicans alike.

    He tried to overturn the will of the people.

    Money makes people evil. Evil people will do anything they can to maintain the flow.

    I agree that some are evil. Money does not make someone good or evil.

    Trump hasn't hurt the American people in any way at all, but Biden has, yet all the eyes are still focused on Trump.

    Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election has hurt all Americans and the democracy they have been growing and nurturing to create a more perfect union.

    Today Donald trump is not the only threat.

    Sure, you vote on election day but the votes are not all counted on that day. Often there is a projected winner shortly after the polls close but if the race is close that may not be the case.

    Not true, and the best example is how he treated Covid information.

    but Biden has, yet all the eyes are still focused on Trump.

    How has Biden hurt the American people? Is it because his Build Back

    To be fair, not everyone gets Election Day off. I would guess that most do not, unless they work for the government or work in a building (like a
    school) that is used as a polling place.

    My father worked for the federal government and, IIRC, he was not off on Presidential Election Days, while we would be because our school was a
    polling place.

    All the Democrats and all the media quickly blamed Trump for covid; they did

    hesitate for a second. They convinced the voters that Trump was the reason
    h
    covid entered the country. Despite the common knowledge that it entered every untry on earth, USA voters were conditioned to believe that it entered the
    SA
    ecause of Trump.

    Remember, they originally blamed Trump for suggesting that we should stop
    what we were doing. Don't forget DeBlasio and Pelosi both bristled publicly about the idea that folks shouldn't get out and celebrate Chinese New Year
    in their respective towns/districts. Other D's made similar remarks...
    that people should be out enjoying their normal activities.

    Shortly after, they "never said that" and "were always for shutting down"
    to slow the spread.

    Trump is not the only one who didn't react quickly, but he is certainly the only one who gets blamed and has it stick.

    How has Biden hurt the American people? Is it because his Build Back Better bill is making infrastructure work and creating good paying jobs?

    More people died under Biden then Trump, due to covid and covid related illnesses. You can look that up anywhere.

    At the Oct. 22, 2020, debate against then-President Donald Trump, Joe Biden said anyone who is responsible for 220,000 deaths from COVID should not be president.

    By my calculations, Joe Biden is now responsible for 417,000 + deaths more than the 396,000 who died while Trump was president. By his own thought process, Biden should have resigned several months ago, especially since he told us he was going to fix this.

    Unbelievable that so many people could have voted for this incompetent fool. Biden has many gaffes on Youtube, I am really surprised that he does not have a youtube award hanging in his office, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynpHSU36Q00

    Then there is this
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GurAj0LyJpw
    reading from cue-cards and mumbling, Biden is a disgrace.

    It was under Trump's order that he made tens of thousands of beds available, he also ordered two hospital ships on each side of the nation, he also put companies to work to make hundreds of ventilators available not only for use here in the U.S. but also helped other nations as well.

    You people on the left claim to be factual but most of you if not every single one of you have a selective memory when it comes to Trump and all the good that he did as it relates to covid response the China Virus + and for the positivity of the Nation.

    You might think your being honest and factual but when the real truth is known (later-on) after the so called facts are initially released, then we all learn what really happened and why.
    All of you are proven to be dishonest and even deceitful.

    Covid in the U.S. is something that should of never have come to our shores and it wouldn't of if the stupid Chinese would of locked down their country, I don't want to hear the excuses, well they did not know, they knew GD well what they were doing, they locked down Wuhan... but then they let their citizens fly out of China. Sounds very much the intentional to me.

    They should be punished for it. Nothing will bring back the dead, but they may rest easier. This pansy of a President Biden will do nothing about that, he is too busy lying to the American people, when he has said on several occasions that he was not involved and knew nothing of his sons Hunter's business dealings, now WE are learning that he did know, because he was not only involved but was actually on the take as well, there is tons of evidence that he did know and is personally profiting from these dealings along with his crack head son Hunter.

    They are truly a crime family syndicate. Records show Millions received, they thought they were slick putting all that money into hundreds shell companies LLC's. Yeah we know about that too. His goose is cooked. As more information comes out the DOJ and the FBI will not be able to protect him.

    You can talk about and suggest look at Trump all you wish, it is a whole bunch of nothing.

    There is a word for word Transcript from the following locations,
    Trump & his GA Phone call. Newsflash it's not illegal to ask go find votes. January 6th word for word transcript there too.
    Document's Case nothing there either.
    Go get educated: https://www.archives.gov/news/topics/presidential-records-act The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) applies to the Presidential Records Act (PRA) FIVE YEARS AFTER THE PRESIDENT HAS LEFT OFFICE. NARA uses this time to begin to conduct archival processing and otherwise prepare for the onset of public access. (Trump Presidential records will become subject to FOIA on January 20, 2026).

    Trump is extremely innocent compared to Biden.
    As it turns out the phone call that Trump made to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of which Trump was impeached over and Acquitted, as it turns out he was right to ask because we all finding out now the truth as more information is known. btw President Zelenskyy was not threatened by Trump in anyway, he was asked "Did Donald Trump threaten you?" Zelesnkyy was taken back and acted shocked as well as surprised as he Zelenskyy said he did not feel threated in any way.

    Every lefty outlet tried to make a story out of that but as usual it failed and did NOT have the intended result that was hoped for.

    That doesn't add up. "Election Day" is "Election Day;" it's a holiday in USA. We've never seen "Election Day" mutate into "Election 10 Days" unti Trump.

    Sure, you vote on election day but the votes are not all counted on that day. Often there is a projected winner shortly after the polls close but if the race is close that may not be the case.

    Yes. What you're saying is true. However, Nevada kept polls open for 10 days, whereas the other 49 states only had polls open on Election Day.

    every country on earth, USA voters were conditioned to believe that it en
    the USA because of Trump.

    I don't know anyone who believes that Trump was responsible for covid.

    Just scroll back a few hundred messages and you'll see at least 2 leftists who blamed Trump for covid. Plus the leftists on TV; they blamed him also.

    I know many on the other hand who believe Trump's response was dismal.

    Ask them how Biden's response was better. The hospitals are still full of covid patients, nobody trusts the vaccine, and the obituaries are still through the roof.

    I haven't seen that. I've seen many blame Trump for his lousy response
    to a massive threat.

    That's the equivalent of blaming Trump for covid.

    The tall tale wasn't proven true either.

    Do you remember how many convictions came from the Mueller probe?

    0 Trump convictions from the Mueller probe.

    NY sent mail-in-ballots to all registered voters throughout the state (Allowed time for Biden to catch up.)

    How did that give time for Biden to catch up?

    It didn't, my mistake, but it gave an unprecedented opportunity to all the voters in my state to vote from home. First time ever, because pesky Trump needed to be removed.

    What evidence is there that Covid was engineered?

    Dr Anthony Fauci admitted on TV that he mutated SARS, and COVID-19 is a mutation of the SARS virus, and he also admitted to intentionally mutating SARS. The dots are easy to connect.

    The Trump-Russia collusion story.
    (Was proven to be false.)

    Members of the Trump campaign did communicate with Russian elements.

    Then we should be calling it the "Members of the Trump campaign/Russia collusion" instead of "Trump/Russia collusion."

    Trump is a huge threat to Democrat access to taxpayer revenue. Money makes people evil. Evil people will do anything they can to maintain the flow.

    Did you realize how accurately you were describing Trump above?

    No, I have no clue. Why does that sound like a Trump description to you?

    Trump hasn't hurt the American people in any way at all,

    Not true, and the best example is how he treated Covid information.

    Trump told us to wear masks. I still wear a mask everywhere I go, and I have not been sick since 2019.

    How has Biden hurt the American people? Is it because his Build Back Better bill is making infrastructure work and creating good paying jobs?

    His "Bipatisan" Infrastructure Bill was a scam, and red cities still have lead water supply pipes. His border policy changes have allowed millions of unvetted migrants to enter the country. Covid is still killing people rampantly, the covid vaccine is killing and injuring people rampantly, there's an orgy of Chinese equipment in the sky above us, and these are just a few of the ways that Biden has hurt the American people.

    It didn't. It just took 10 days for the votes cast on or before
    election day to get counted.

    Maybe in your state! But Fox News (sometimes credible) reported that Nevada kept polls open for 10 days beyond election day, thereby allowing voters to walk in and cast ballots as late as November 13.

    You are wrong. He was not blamed for covid, he was blamed for the ways that he reacted to covid which had the effect of many more deaths and serious illnesses than there might have been.

    Whether I'm right or you're right, the bottom line is that Trump was blamed for covid. If not for covid itself, then for the "reaction" to covid. Trump was blamed for covid.

    Think of it this way:
    $today = 07232023;
    $electionDay = 11032020;
    if ($today !== 11032020){
    echo "It's too late to vote.";} else {
    echo "Your vote has been accepted!";}

    I'm not sure what !== means. I recall that != is not equal. But if
    it means greater than, then your code is correct and is exactly what happened.

    In PHP, it's a "not equal to" comparison operator. If it's not election day, you shouldn't be able to walk into a polling place in Nevada and cast a ballot.

    Me thinks that you are confusing Vote with Count the Vote.

    Every state counted mail-in ballots after election day, and that has happened in previous elections. But Nevada allowed walk-in voting for 10 days beyond Election Day.

    All states have "Early Voting," but only Nevada managed to allow "Late voting."

    And then there's the unconstitutional actions by non-Legislative offices in changing election rules. State and Federal Constitutions clearly
    state that only the Legialature can set the election rules, yet here in Michigan, for example, the Secretary of State unilaterally changed them
    - because of COVID, you know.

    Same here. Andrew Cuomo is responsible for all those mail-in ballots being sent out. It wasn't our legislative body.

    All the Democrats and all the media quickly blamed Trump for covid;

    And used COVID as an excuse to change the election rules illegally.

    You get it! I don't know how these guys could see it any other way.

    To be fair, not everyone gets Election Day off. I would guess that most do not, unless they work for the government or work in a building (like a school) that is used as a polling place.

    That's true, but for the people who do get federal holidays off, Al should ask them how many days they got off for Election Day. One, or ten? ;)

    Remember, they originally blamed Trump for suggesting that we should stop what we were doing. Don't forget DeBlasio and Pelosi both bristled publicly about the idea that folks shouldn't get out and celebrate
    Chinese New Year in their respective towns/districts. Other D's made similar remarks... that people should be out enjoying their normal activities.

    Absolutely, I remember. But the people who watch too much TV, nah, they don't remember.

    While I disagree with his conclusion I also, if true, strongly
    disagree with that practice.

    If his statement about "all" is accurate, but corresponds to the period
    of time when there was a severe lock down because of Covid -- does that

    IIRC, it means the same in some languages as "!=" in others, but I am guessing typo. :)

    If that were true, then his code goes against what has been practice for
    a long time (decades?). It would imply a vote is valid only if cast on election day. But it is standing practice for early ballots to be cast,
    and we have done that for many years.

    More people died under Biden then Trump, due to covid and
    covid related illnesses. You can look that up anywhere.

    There is a big difference between "died under" and "died because of".

    At the Oct. 22, 2020, debate against then-President Donald
    Trump, Joe Biden said anyone who is responsible for 220,000
    deaths from COVID should not be president.

    By some calculations, 200K is more or less what has been estimated as
    the number of deaths *because of* Trumps ineptitude in handling Covid.

    By my calculations, Joe Biden is now responsible for 417,000 + deaths more than the 396,000 who died while Trump was president. By his

    Again, you are equating "under" with "because of".

    Biden has many gaffes on Youtube,

    Biden readily admits that he has a stuttering problem. So did a King of England. It does not effect ability to think.

    Well, I can't say that. 40+ years ago, when my Jr. High was used as a polling place, we got the day off. But I was too young to vote then.

    But most employers will tell their employees that they can come in late or leave early on Election Day to get to the polls - if their normal work schedules don't allow for it.

    Seeing how the polls stay open for 12 hours, I don't see where most people would have a problem getting there. And every polling place that I've seen has allowed anyone in line before the polls close still vote even if it's after the polls have officially closed.

    Trump is not the only one who didn't react quickly, but he is certainly the only one who gets blamed and has it stick.

    That's only because the Elitists in the media keep harping on it.

    This is not correct.

    Covid was/is a thing but it has nothing to do with the election.

    The Trump-Russia collusion story.
    (Was proven to be false.)

    It was not proven false. That is magical thinking.

    As was thinking it was true.

    It was true. There were many indictments and convictions around that.

    Meuller himself said the invetigation did not exonerate Trump, because it did not.

    There is no basis in fact for any of that.

    Obama was indeed shocked that nearly 1/2 of American didn't vote Biden.
    There is fact in that.

    Biden got more votes, he won the popular vote.

    There is fact in that.

    It was not about voters. Voters had already voted. The issue was counting
    the votes.

    If it takes them that long to count votes, something is amiss.

    I tend to agree it took a long time in some states.

    The last few cycles I have voted by mail. Here in BC those votes are not even counted until 5 days after election day. They give the post office 5 days to get the votes delivered and then they are all counted. Even so those mail in votes have to be post marked on or before election day.

    Most times there is a projected winner announced on election night or soon after. If enough people vote by mail there is no way to know the outcome until all the votes are counted.

    Sure, you vote on election day but the votes are not all counted on that
    day. Often there is a projected winner shortly after the polls close but
    if the race is close that may not be the case.

    Yes. What you're saying is true. However, Nevada kept polls open for 10 days, whereas the other 49 states only had polls open on Election Day.

    Was that for mail in votes to be collected?

    It is the same here in BC but it is only 5 days, and only to collect votes made on or before the election.

    I don't know anyone who believes that Trump was responsible for covid.

    Just scroll back a few hundred messages and you'll see at least 2 leftists who blamed Trump for covid. Plus the leftists on TV; they blamed him also.

    Some may do so, but I haven't heard it. I know many blame trump for his lack of action on covid.

    He should have acted on the advice of experts rather than trying to come up with his own solutions like bleach or oxychloroquine.

    I know many on the other hand who believe Trump's response was dismal.

    Ask them how Biden's response was better. The hospitals are still full of covid patients, nobody trusts the vaccine, and the obituaries are still through the roof.

    That is why a pandemic must be taken seriously.

    I haven't seen that. I've seen many blame Trump for his lousy response
    to a massive threat.

    That's the equivalent of blaming Trump for covid.

    No, that is blaming trump for his actions, or lack thereof.

    Do you remember how many convictions came from the Mueller probe?

    0 Trump convictions from the Mueller probe.

    Many in Trumps inner circle were convicted. Many were also pardoned by Trump.

    Maybe in your state! But Fox News (sometimes credible)
    reported that Nevada kept polls open for 10 days beyond
    election day, thereby allowing voters to walk in and cast
    ballots as late as November 13.

    Funny, but I can not find any such report -- and find several reports
    that say that the polls in Nevada closed on Election Day. Perhaps Fox News was a little loose with the truth?

    Fox News reporters tell lies often, and just like all the others, they purge articles from time to time. The only way to know for sure would be to ask someone from Nevada, someone who pays attention to elections.

    There is a big difference between "died under" and "died because of".

    How did that give time for Biden to catch up?

    While I disagree with his conclusion I also, if true, strongly
    disagree with that practice.

    If his statement about "all" is accurate, but corresponds to the period
    of time when there was a severe lock down because of Covid -- does that change your disagreement?

    No, not really. I think they should ask you if you want one first, like
    they did here. If they are like here, they have many dead people, other
    former residents, and bad addresses on their roles.

    Would you agree or disagree with sending mail-in-ballots to all
    registered voters who request them?

    Under those circumstances, if they request them, I would not disagree.

    Here, excluding COVID, you can only send in a mail-in if you qualify for an absentee ballot.

    You can now vote early in person, though. They have been having three
    early days, including a Saturday, in the week before the Tuesday "on time"
    day. I think it works very well.

    That said, the turn-out for the recent governor's primary was abyssmal,
    even with the three early days. Outside of the urban areas, the rural
    counties averaged 18% turnout.

    Yes, but some still want there to be exceptions to this, but only for

    Never forget Bertrand Russell's wise advice:

    "A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be
    accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears
    into something he can understand."

    Considering that Aaron isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, maybe the true facts were lost in translation?

    Fox Propaganda channel has trained propagandists on the air.
    So let's please give Aaron some credit for being original.

    We had live hearings of RFK, Jr. testifying before a Congressional
    panel of Republicans today. He is nothing like his father. Although
    he did (very briefly) get a part-time job as an assistant district
    attorney one time. This guy should be invited to participate in
    this forum, as he would fit right in with the MAGA crowd.

    Biden received over 7 million more popular votes than his closest

    which is not the way it went down,

    now. The media makes stuff go away from time to time. Google surely doesn't want that information to stick around.

    Sounds like, once you accept an "alternate fact" it is hard for you to
    admit that it was a lie you were fed.
