He overcame a lifelong speech impediment and I’d have the ass if everyone jumped on any and every misspoken word And spoke. One thing he is not is a pathological liar.

Have you examined his mental state? I am aware of no diagnosis of “senility” as you call it. Another mainstream right wing media lie?

“People who have nothing to hide don’t destroy evidence to keep it from being publicly archived as required by federal law” - Donald Trump in 2016 about Hillary’s emails. Which time was he lying, then or now?

Every bit of what I read is hearsay. Was it even sworn testimony? Putin’s got you in his hip pocket.

Trump ain’t down yet.

Mice do not have the capacity for rational thought. Cute little joke, but that’s about it.

They want to live in a country that offers religious freedom, not a theocracy. You are confusing religion with a form of governance. Muslim Iranians left in droves in the 70’s and 80’s when the Ayatollah took over. Even Saddam let Muslims wear western attire. Really not that intelligent a question.

Where did you study the Holocaust? All I remember is some WWII battles and maybe a picture or two of Auschwitz. You apply that same logic to slavery? Knife fights don’t win gun fights, and I don’t know if the Jews even got to keep their knives. Are you an immigration attorney? If you are, state your case. If not, I’ll just get my legal schooling from FOX, like ya’ll do.

George Washington forced the vaccine on the military. It was nowhere near 100% safe, but better than the alternative. Absolutely no comparison between George Washington and Donald Trump. Not even an nice try.

No, if you support the wall you are an isolationist. If you shut want to shut travel down from China when the infections are coming from Europe, you are using xenophobia to gin up fear. If you disagree with homosexuality, you’re just behind the times. You paint with a mighty broad brush, sir.

No, he forced it on the military. How dare you compare George Washington to Donald Trump.

Not at all. Why should tactless insults from someone I don’t know from Adam bother me? And you people call liberals snowflakes. Righties are the biggest crybabies I know of.

You need to chill, dude. That statement is the load of crap. I’m a lefty and I don’t judge like that, and I’m not unique. It’s just so easy to assume people who don’t agree with you hate you. Then you’re free to hate back all you want.

That’s pretty simplified. Of course we should question the leaders of our governments. The statement I replied to expressed amazement that so many trust the government,not it’s leaders. Big difference there.

So we agree in theory, just not the degree.

He is. With the exception of the Chinese and possibly the Japanese, the other races are prejudiced, of course, but don’t see themselves as superior. Only the European, extended to us, see the white race as superior. That is the definition of racism.

I think one party would filibuster any attempt to enact any law requiring Congressional vaccination. Plus, if the government doesn’t abide, that’s what the Constitution and free elections are for. We aren’t expected to follow suit. We’re expected to inform ourselves and make our opinions heard at the polls, or in the market, for that matter.

We don’t. We simply acknowledge its existence and try to talk about it. There are extremists, but that isn’t representative of mainstream liberal thinking. The right doesn’t even want to acknowledge it, much less talk about it.

Nope. Smallpox. TB, Polio. George Washington ordered inoculation against Smallpox for a the entire Continental Army. I believe one in ten infected, one in 500 dead and an overwhelmed healthcare system qualifies as a national crisis. Congress should be ashamed for not mandating it or regular testing for all members. I’m not saying everyone should be forced, but guidelines should be pretty darned strict.

Point taken. That doesn’t mean your statement wasn’t paranoid.

What the frick did anything I said have to do with race? The Reich, er, I mean the Right seems a lot more paranoid about race than the Left.

Amerikan = Fascist. That intelligible enough? And, let me cover it before you come back with an unintelligible insult. I am anti-Fascist. Antifa. Get it? I like freedom. I also recognize that with it comes responsibility, i.e. respect for public health authority and responsibility in following science to protect not only me, but my fellow citizens. That includes you.

You must be Amerikan.

Feel better now?

So what, anarchy’s the answer? You have a different system you prefer? Belarus, perhaps? The Soviet long game, now Putin’s, is to destabilize western democracies. In the U.S., that means aggravating racial divisions, subverting democratic institutions and inciting the “proletariat” against the “bourgeoisie”. Enough Americans are now buying into these subversions that the Russians have a shot at achieving their goals. It has been proved time and again that voter fraud is statistically insignificant in the U. S. To claim otherwise is not only unpatriotic. It’s un-American. We have the safest voting system in the world.
