She lost me waaay before that. Lol.

That’s probably one of the most racist things I’ve ever read on this forum.

Per Capita there aren't. You can't use raw numbers. Black citizens only make up approx. 13% of the nation. I have explained this to you before. You know you're being disingenuous.

That has nothing to do with my post, nor does it have anything to do with the proposed ID requirement to vote. You're a smart guy. You don't have any issues with the requirement either.

C’mon CB. You left out the actual requirements which are normal: “(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States. “(2) A valid United States passport. “(3) The applicant's official United States military identification card, together with a United States military record of service showing that the applicant's place of birth was in the United States. “(4) A valid government-issued photo identification card issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government showing that the applicant’s place of birth was in the United States. The birth certificate is only required with some alternative ID not described above. It’s no big deal. As a matter of fact, no one should be put off by the ID requirement unless they have a hidden agenda. (I dare not say “like stealing an election”). Note: The REAL ID Act is an Act of Congress that establishes requirements that driver licenses and identification cards issued by U.S. states and territories must satisfy to be accepted for accessing federal government facilities and nuclear power plants and for boarding airlineflights in the United States. Basically it’s a DL or other government issued ID. The same thing you would need to board an airplane or cash a check at a bank or open up a savings account or apply for a loan.

I've said he has cognitive decline. And he does. Do you agree? People use the term dementia loosely and incorrectly to mean cognitive decline (which is a very generic term which easily describes Joe Biden's symptoms). It doesn't take away from the fact that he is rapidly losing his mental acuity.

In Congress, July 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Well, if EVERYONE did that, then DJT would win.

Or a cock.

True, but the Jan. 6 Trials could begin as soon as September. The Supreme Court will let a lower court decide in this case, what is and what is not an official act as pertains to this case.

I would give 1,000 likes for this post.

Biden couldn’t think or articulate his answers. He lost horribly admittedly even by his own party members and liberal “news” networks. A poll put it at 67-33 for Trump. That was CNN’s poll. Do you think Biden performed poorly?

I agree with you. I was very surprised.

You read my mind.

I think Biden forget his injection.

Playing the devil's advocate, if I were Joe Biden (it hurt me to even say that), I would: 1. If I were Joe Biden, I would mention the word "felon" every other sentence. Now you and I know the charges brought against Trump in an unfriendly land with a kangaroo court and judge were frivolous. But lots of independents do not. 2. If I were Joe Biden, I would tout my false job numbers (false because they are predicated on everyone returning to work after the Covid-19 shutdown which he caused). 3. If I were Joe Biden, I would - and this is a big one - harp on the loss of abortion rights. Even though many of us more conservatives are against it, many out in the world are not - especially independents and women. 4. Finally, if I were Joe Biden, I would continue to spew lies that put me and my family in the best light. If Hunter comes up in the debate, I would play on the emotions of the voters by talking about how horrible addiction is and how by God's grace, Hunter has been able to overcome it. The rest of the time I would revive a Corn Pop story, make up a few instances about my accomplishments that never existed, refer to some dead co-workers as if they were still alive, mumble incoherently until I just said, "Oh never mind"... you know, just be myself.

I guess we'll have to define lie. Look, I'm voting for Trump 100%. Do I believe he's always truthful? No way. Keeping it real, I think @Bobcat1 has a pretty good game going on here. That being said, the Biden camp is going to have to drink 10 to 1 over the Trump camp. Lol.

Yes, they are both old. But one has to be led around like a toddler. A little memory loss is expected. I experience it all the time, and I’m waaaay younger than them. But the Easter bunny never had to lead Trump around. Trump hasn’t stumbled and fallen in public getting into a plane or walking across a stage. Trump hasn’t mumbled and slurred his speech in nearly every single speaking engagement he’s involved in (and he does a lot more public speaking than Biden does). To claim that Joe Biden doesn’t have rapidly increasing cognitive decline is either irresponsible or a flat out lie.

For hopefully the last time, I never said he has Alzheimer’s disease. I know very well what dementia is, what Alzheimer’s is, what cognitive decline is. I don’t need a tutorial from a supposed medical professional, who can’t read the contents of a post. However, we would all know what mental condition Joe Biden has if he would commit to having a physical and mental exam that would explain his slurred speech, his inability to focus and form clear and cogent sentences. If there is nothing wrong with him then the whole world would know that too. But we all know that’s not the case, right?

Alzheimer's is a terribly tragic disease. Glen Campbell recorded a song he co-wrote and recorded in 2014 called "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" a few years before he died due to Alzheimer's. He had already Alzheimer's for 3 or 4 years when the song came out. Listen to the words. It's heart-wrenching when you understand its meaning. I'm still here, but yet I'm gone I don't play guitar or sing my songs They never defined who I am The man that loves you 'til the end You're the last person I will love You're the last face I will recall And best of all, I'm not gonna miss you I'm not gonna miss you I'm never gonna hold you like I did Or say I love you to the kids You're never gonna see it in my eyes It's not gonna hurt me when you cry I'm never gonna know what you go through All the things I say or do All the hurt and all the pain One thing selfishly remains I'm not gonna miss you When you realize he's not going to miss the love of his life or his wonderful children because he won't even know who they are... Dude.

I never said he had dementia. I said it’s a stimulant that helps to improve concentration and attention span. More often than not, is prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy patients Ritalin, Adderall and Vyvanse are all very similar medication’s for those ailments. The biggest difference is how fast each one of them acts, and how long the medication stays in your system in my non-medical estimation, I think Adderall is a good middle road. That being said, it could be any number of things that they are pumping into him.

Yep. Saw that.

Although Ritalin would be possible, it is more likely that Adderall would be used. Whatever the case, I would be interested in seeing a drug screen immediately before & after by both candidates...

Ritalin (a trade name for the prescription drug methylphenidate) is a stimulant that can help to improve concentration and attention span and is most widely used for ADHD and narcolepsy patients.

Respectfully, it's about all of those things. Emancipation from slavery (mostly African at that time) in America.
