even with trump specifically, there's better examples of campaign finance violations. but they likely get too close to the grift for everyone else, and set a bad precedent to enforce.

hillary paid for the bogus steele "dossier" with campaign money, lol, and iirc she expensed it as legal.

The real fun invention is "Judeo-Christian values," because, like, that's conflating already, why not just say Abrahamic? Just this constant dance to avoid saying Islam shares most of its DNA with Christanity. Like, Mormonism is more divergent than Islam.

Or that basically any other religion doesn't share most of those values.

This is how I feel about all of these stupid election interference cases. There's so many crimes but they hand picked a couple dumb ones like you said, to avoid anyone looking hard at what the uniparty themselves are guilty of. So loving wild that trump was right all this time about deep state election witch interference hunts, but for the not quite right reasons. Just looking to get their headlines and talking points for the election then quietly dismiss everything in December when nobody cares anymore.


Still think he should go to prison for the rest of his life for leading the funniest coup attempt in modern history though.

:ssh: that "coup" was deep-state bullshit, too.

The real profit in the solar industry is the grifting though, and if people were able to just buy them those poor solar panel lenders would go out of business.

pretty much every shred of evidence I've seen has driven me to logically conclude that Biden will eat poo poo, except for the fact that C-SPAM agrees with me, and C-SPAM predictions are always wrong

like, the only reason I'm even entertaining the idea of Biden winning is that we're never right

there is reason to believe bidens in a stronger position than he deserves. Trump is a legendarily bad candidate. 'In office I accomplished nothing, out of office I got rid of abortions for you' is an awful sales pitch, the kind of squishy lib who defines much of the electorate thinks all the legal cases against him are a big problem, and Biden's biggest weaknesses are things Trump is in a uniquely bad spot to capitalize on. Haley would be walking away with this election; trump's unique weakness has made it a fight.

There was a British ship navigation system before GPS that made all its money by using proprietary charts - the coordinates were useless otherwise - and by ships having to rent the transceiver, not being able to buy them. When the UK joined the EU this monopoly was broken up and the company went broke almost immediately.

the arguments against polling results are really becoming tortured & more bizarre as the election grows nearer & biden does worse with various demographics.

this is what I meant by pointing out the mass delusions bc of echo chambers: they've convinced themselves that the pollsters' lying eyes were hypnotized by trump's magical charms or media's desires to get clicks rather than by statistical sampling.

I'm hearing that old saw I'VE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED BY A POLLSTER SO POLLS ARE BOGUS in real life, including a dumbass I know who somehow earned a loving Ed.D. like Dr. Jill Biden. (He once said the Mormons "came to America to escape persecution in England.")

but the reverse could also be true and they might want to plan for that

everything in those tweets about the siena poll was as stupid about polling methods & statistical sampling as the guy who thought mormons came to america for religious freedom.
