J6.

J6 was close to 4 years ago and the power transferred. Democracy survived just as it did for the 4 years he was president.

And he tried his damndest to roll through that guardrail.

Here's a question bearcat ---

You own a company and have a CEO. You have decided to fire him. The CEO tries to falsify the company bylaws to keep the office for himself. He doesnt succeed.

Are you telling us that 'because he didnt succeed' everything is copacetic with the ex-CEO? I mean, you should jump right back to him -- your company survived.

Your comeback is 'well he didnt succeed'. Really? That is your defense of those actions? A justification of those actions? And of him?

If so, give me a holler. I know some companies for sale you would really like....

Tang I don't disagree with you if that was indeed his intention. There have been conflicting reports on what happened. My opinion is before Covid Trump was in pretty good shape and Biden was not a great candidate. I think Trump thought he had the election won and his ego couldn't accept that Biden beat him. Couple that with the irregularities that occurred with the election and I think he felt there had to be cheating involved and his actions were a result. I don't think he was attacking democracy any more than I think he was correct in his thinking or actions. I don't condone anyone trying to change votes or change the results and ultimately it didn't happen. Had he really wanted a coup I think you would have seen more overt actions in that regard.
There is no doubt in my mind that Trump is his own worst enemy at times but his first term was better than what we've had in the last 3 years plus change and I don't see him as a threat to democracy.

You've been indoctrinated...and you claim to not even support trump. Laughable.

And you claim to be an independent.

Pay better attention. You are confusing like with support.

I support Trump. I said I am voting for Trump this time. I voted for him last time. Did not vote for him in 2016. Voted 3rd party, which I usually do, or else a write-in.

I support Trump's policies. I just don't like his personality. He is a true narcissist (which is much more than just being egotistical) and is highly annoying. I haven't liked him since the early '80s. In fact, I can't stand him.

In fact, I have voted in every presidential election since 1968, and I really haven't liked many of the candidates I voted for.

But I liked all of them better than I like you.

I sure as hell am not voting for the Marxist you support. That will be the death of our country as a free western civilization. You're just too dumb to realize it.

And you're wrong about the border bill, too.

Do you know what a 'Marxist' actually is?

That question is about as dumb as some of Tom's. Even if I didn't know, I could look it up in about 5 seconds.

But I'm old enough to have actually lived through McCarthyism, so yeah, I understand about commies, Marxists and socialists. Any of the 3 are anathema to a free society and capitalism.

You want to nitpick words all the time. I refer to Kamala as a Marxist strictly b/c her father actually is one. Dyed in the wool. Whether Kamala's true policies match that, or not, IDGAF. She certainly has those tendencies, so if you want to split hairs on the differences, which I absolutely have understood for decades, feel free.

Please feel free to generalize to the extent of being rhetorically idiotic.

Yeah, how dare I nitpick at what appears to be shallow stupid rhetoric. The sheer horror.

Quote:Whether Kamala's true policies match that, or not, IDGAF.

Good for you. At least you are honest that you dont give a flip about how much you exaggerated or misspeak.

Halperin had an update today. He has heard from a couple of dem insiders who say that not only is Kamala behind in PA in their internal polls, these people believe, at this point, she's not going to win PA. And the issue with that is that it becomes very unlikely Kamala can win the EC if she loses PA.

Rasmussen's daily poll ticked to Trump +6 today. The 5 day moving average is Trump +2 nationally, which is an EC blowout for Trump.

If things continue like this, then Halperin may have been spot on to say that insiders believed Kamala could find herself in the same spot as Biden* was by the middle of September.

Hey T, if you don't get it, that's on you. I explained the Marxist comment. You have no ability to connect the dots, apparently.

Why wouldnt she poll differently? She's said from the start she was the last person in the room for every major decision of the Biden Administration and she has clearly voiced that she is very proud of their accomplishments. She's basically said there is nothing she would do different. She's been caught strait up lying to the American people regarding Bidens mental competence (worse yet---she's still maintaining that lie when everyone now knows its simply not true). Other than a wild attempt by the media to do an Oprah style instant Harris makeover---there is little reason to expect her to poll any different from Biden.

She'll get a somewhat better number than Biden, simply for her race and gender.

If she doesn’t win PA, she sure as hell ain’t winning GA and NC. That’s 270 and let’s start the fkn MAGA party!!

Harris went from the most unpopular Veep in history and facing undercurrents of Ds wanting a "Biden/notHarris" ticket to worldbeater?

It was manufactured media and mirrors.

Reality comes crashing.

She can't speak.
She has no published policy.

Let’s assume Halperin is right…(we don’t know for sure)

The basement strategy is obviously backfiring. But she’s caught in a catch 22, the more she visible then the more people repudiate her.

Right...and unnamed sources talking to a guy who's not involved in the campaign. A guy who works for Newsmax no less. A guy who was fired for sexual harassment complaints made by several women.

What basement strategy, trump's? He's the one with no events this week. She's been traveling all over the place.

But boo ******* who...she's not talking to the incompetent media.

Halperin was the first media type to break news that Biden was stepping down. He definitely is still connected

She can’t even do a podcast? Trump has done numerous long form interviews with various people along the political spectrum.

He’s done events and rallies, and has already participated in a debate.

People know where to find him.

Well, almost:

Halperin said last week that their internal polls wasnt as good as the public polls. He also said there would be more polls coming out that week that would be bad for Harris.

That happened. So unnamed sources or not, what they said was going to happen did actually happen.
