“Americans re-elected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary,” Mr. McConnell said in a statement issued not long after news of Justice Ginsburg’s death became public. “Once again, we will keep our promise. President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”
There is a rumor floating around that Ginsburg's daughter said her last words on her deathbed were "Don't let the current president pick my successor!"
I don't know whether this is some kind of stupid joke or just one more Democrat line of BS, but either way... see #1 in the OP.
The thing is that you can steal the election without committing any fraud. Fraud isn't the only problem with mail in voting. Even when there is no fraud, it is not a fair process ... an example of why that is in my last post. Fair elections require a secret vote. It's a basic principle of fair voting. And mail in ballots are not secret.
Have not yet heard about that specific issue, but about mail in voting in general, it is lacking in some of the most important features that assure a fair election, not the least of which is that your vote is not secret.
When you vote in person you are in private and no one else knows who you voted for. It's an anonymous vote. Not so when you vote by mail. People see who you voted for.
This has a very serious effect on the results because when your vote is not secret, it can be influenced.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg with the problems with mail in voting.
Atty. General Barr did a very good job of laying them out this week. It's frightening. The Democrats are trying to use the mail in system to steal the election.
Yes I've watched Biden's speeches and deceptively scripted Q&As and (fake) "press conferences."
He really gets some hardball questions:
"Mr. Vice President can you name your favorite color?"
"Mr. Vice President, name the 5 things that people should know about Trump that would make him lose the election?"
And did you notice the "reporters" at Biden's phony press conferences are about 16 years old? They look like they are working for a high school newspaper. It's so obvious that it's rigged it's embarassing!
When Trump gets press questions the first one always starts off "Mr. President why did you lie about..."
And then they get more vicious from there...
There is a theory out there that by bashing Biden's cognitive abilities, Trump is setting up a scenario that if Biden is even capable of putting a single coherent sentence together in the debates people will dismiss the charges of dementia. Of course we all know he has it. But the theory is that the Trump side set the bar too low so Biden will look better than people expect in the debates.
Said perfectly. The guy is a multi-billionaire. He is the only president in history who will leave office with less money than he started with. Estimates are it has cost him over a billion dollars to be president. And on top of that he has to be exposed to all these people who might have the Chinese Plague? PLEASE!!! Who needs it. No one but an absolute patriot would do what President Trump is doing. He is the most incredible, hard working and dedicated person ever to hold the office.
Hunter Biden ‘Made 411 Trips Across 29 Countries’ Often to Make Deals with ‘Foreign Oligarchs’
Foreign oligarchs with which his father was supposed to be negotiating deals in the interests of the United States, not the interests of the Biden family.
The new reality is that the battle is between globalists and Nationalists.
I agree with the concept of your post. But the reality is that the two parties still represent the two sides of this issue. The majority of the Republican Party supports Trump who largely represents nationalism and the majority of the Democrat Party supports Biden who (effectively) will favor the globalists.
It's fine to talk about theory, but the reality is that it is a binary choice: Trump or Biden. And the Republican Party is largely aligned with Trump while the Democrat Party is with Biden.
Neither party has every represented a "pure" ideology. They have always represented a compromise for voters as neither of them support exactly all of the elements that individual voters support. But I think it still makes sense to talk in terms of party even now since each of the two parties clearly represents the essence of the opposing ideologies of nationalism versus capitalism.
It's a Venn diagram, the parties do not completely overlap the two opposing ideologies. But the intersection is significant.
I should mention the reason I wanted to know is that I started feeling really sorry for the ants. They are magnificent creatures with amazing skills. But they can't be on my kitchen counters. Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
I've had my share of dogs, and they definitely grieve.
Recently I have been experimenting with safe methods of killing ants. After studying ants online I learned a lot about them in the process. I don't think they grieve, but one thing I wanted to know was if they felt pain. According to the experts, ants (and insects in general) do not feel pain because they have no pain receptors. But they are aware when parts of them are not functioning right and that probably causes something like anxiety.
Yes, he does deserve it for his huge success with North Korea. During the Obama administration, NK was sending missiles over Japan and on dangerous trajectories and performing menacing nuclear tests on a regular basis. There were growing predictions of a world nuclear war triggered by a NK nuclear event when President Trump took office.
The missiles stopped, the dangerous nuclear tests stopped, and no one has talked about a world war in several years.
That is all attributable to President Trump and his Reganesque Peace Through Strength policies.
President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for that monumental accomplishment alone... something no other world leader has ever been able to accomplish.
SHAWNTHOR you posted one on my blog a week or so ago that was one of the funniest I've ever seen. I think Conrad commented on it. I saw it on my phone and I don't sign in here on my phone so I couldn't comment. But that had to be one of the funniest cartoons I've ever seen here. It was about Biden, but forgot exactly what it said. MAN that was hilarious!
The Democrats want to control your life and if given power they will use it to control every aspect of it from what healthcare you can and cannot have what kind of transportation you can and cannot use what schools your children can and cannot go to what means you can and cannot have to protect yourself and your family when you can and cannot worship your faith what foods you can and cannot eat, what kinds of energy you can and cannot use, what words you can and cannot say, right down to what thoughts you can and cannot have.
The Democrats Marxist assault NEEDS TO BE STOPPED COLD.
Vote for President Trump if you value your freedom!
In fact, since cryptocurrencies can be used for limited purposes as if they were cash, the criticism that profits are not realized until they are "cashed out" is less applicable than it is to most other investments.
And remember that the 'apparent profit' of once who invested is only virtual, and only realised when they trade out ...
This is a rookie investor's misunderstanding.
All profits are "paper profits" unless and until they are "cashed out." This includes money you have in a bank account, a stock, a cryptocurrency or any other investment that involves a book accounting entry. It isn't cash until it's cash.
So there is no relative disadvantage to an investment just because the profits have not yet been converted to cash. That is true of all investments.
One of the primary risks is that they could become illegal to use in major countries. If they were to become illegal to use in America especially, that could be the end of them. They would become worthless in an instant if this happened.
Central banks are not fond of competition from cryptocurrencies, so this is a real possibility.
We often hear criticism of the Federal Reserve in America and how, since the gold standard was abandoned, it has become a fiat currency with nothing backing it and therefore very risky to own.
But I'm betting all my dollars that the US dollar will be the LAST currency to fall in the event of a worldwide economic catastrophe. And so are most savvy investors all over the planet. The US Dollar IS the world's gold standard. Cryptocurrency is highly risky. Invest in American enterprise and the US dollar if you want your money to be safe.
