		<description>I just read this article with tantalizing - and disturbing - hints about one of my possible &#039;This Changes Everything&#039; McLaughlin Awards for 2020. It&#039;s a long read, but well worth at least a perusal. 
&#039;The public learned about the targeting of VR Systems in June 2017, when The Intercept published the leaked NSA document. The document revealed that a company that makes voter registration software had been targeted in a Russian phishing campaign that was “likely” successful against at least one of the company’s employees.
...
The fact that so many significant questions about VR Systems remain unanswered three years after the 2016 election undermines the government&#039;s assertions that it’s committed to providing election officials with all of the timely information they need to secure their systems in 2020. It also raises concerns that the public may never really know what occurred in 2016.&#039;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I&#039;d like to add another column for next year&#039;s McLaughlin Awards: &quot;This changes everything&quot;. Here are my nominees:
 * RBG (or another liberal justice) dies &lt;/I&gt;

Why on earth would anyone wish to make such a prediction as that. Not that it hasn&#039;t already been predicted around here before - maybe the same commenter.

For her part, RBG has a long and highly productive life ahead of her.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Actually, whenever I&#039;m scrolling past all the flame war crap, I just think those two need to get a room already...&lt;/I&gt;

Well, CYBERSTALKING DOES include sex..

&lt;B&gt; It may also include monitoring, identity theft, threats, vandalism, solicitation for sex, &lt;/B&gt;

While Kick hasn&#039;t gotten around to that yet, I am sure it&#039;s only a matter of time.. :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; I also don&#039;t see evidence that kick did the more severe things you&#039;re accusing her of.&lt;/I&gt;

You mean, other than her own words that she dug up all that information on me and my children..</description>

		<description>But you are, of course, wrong..

I didn&#039;t bring a knife to a gunfight..

I brought my words to a flame war which was fully appropriate..

It was Kick who escalated it to a gunfight..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;If you bring a knife to a gunfight it&#039;s still your own damn fault for fighting.&lt;/I&gt;

Shirley, you are not advocating that I am to blame because *I* didn&#039;t escalate to cyber-stalking...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Whether justified or not is irrelevant. &lt;/I&gt;

Maybe to you..

But that is the basis of my entire point..

&lt;I&gt;The core property that defines stalking is that the attention is unequal and unrequited. &lt;/I&gt;

Simply not factually accurate..

I can spend day and night calling Kick every name in the book..  She spends day and night trying to dig up personal information on me and my family to retaliate and to threaten me into silence.

You saying they are both the same is the epitome of a false equivalency..

&lt;I&gt; You paid kick as much attention as she paid you, and when you stopped she stopped.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea??  And if person A starts yelling and cursing at person B all day and person B responds by slicing at Person A with a knife all day..

You would say that Person A paid as much attention to person B as Person B paid to Person A???

&lt;I&gt;Not stalking.&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk or harass an individual, group, or organization.[1] It may include false accusations, defamation, slander and libel. It may also include monitoring, identity theft, threats, vandalism, solicitation for sex, ***or gathering information that may be used to threaten, embarrass or harass.***[1]&lt;/B&gt;

The facts say different..</description>

		<description>As I said, it&#039;s not really my point to debate the finer points of what has occurred in the past.

You have your perspective and I have the facts.. :D  J/K 
 
You feel I deserved what I (and my family got) and I just don&#039;t think that&#039;s the case...  

Nasty name-calling justifies nasty name-calling in return.. No more, no less..

Escalating into cyberstalking is bad mojo.. Because that could lead to a very VERY dark place..
 
My only point was to show the confluence of attitudes vis a vis stalking and Party ideology...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;1. kick only posted in response to provocation. when you stopped posting, she stopped trolling you.&lt;/I&gt;

And the 14 yr old girl was only raped in response to the low cut top and tight skirt she wore..

The *WHY* is irrelevant.

The *WHAT* is the point..

&lt;B&gt;Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk or harass an individual, group, or organization.[1] It may include false accusations, defamation, slander and libel. It may also include monitoring, identity theft, threats, vandalism, solicitation for sex, &lt;I&gt;***or gathering information that may be used to threaten, embarrass or harass.***&lt;/I&gt;[1]&lt;/B&gt;

By ANY definition, what Kick was doing was stalking...

WHY she was doing it is completely and utterly irrelevant..

&lt;I&gt;2. kick never suggested that she was interested in contacting you or any member of your family in person in any way.&lt;/I&gt;

Not required for stalking.. She threatened to release personal or private information about me and my children if I did not toe her line..

So, what you seem to be saying is that her actions were justified because I called her some pretty nasty names..

Is that the point you are trying to make??</description>

		<description>@m,
&lt;i&gt;How is that not &quot;stalking&quot;??&lt;/i&gt;

two ways:
1. kick only posted in response to provocation. when you stopped posting, she stopped trolling you.
2. kick never suggested that she was interested in contacting you or any member of your family in person in any way. she didn&#039;t go there, and gave no indication that she ever would.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;What kick did to you was not stalking&lt;/I&gt;

Kick herself stated that she called up &quot;some friends&quot; to do background checks on me and my family..

How is that not &quot;stalking&quot;??

Of course, I don&#039;t believe Kick HAS any friends..  She probably paid several of those FIND OUT ANYTHING ABOUT ANYBODY web sites to dig up information on me..

Again.. How is that NOT stalking??

DH simply asked CW for his address..  And you (jokingly, I know, but still) called that stalking..

How is someone not ASKING for information but actually scouring the internet to FIND information...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I hope you were just using that to make a point as DH stalking CW can&#039;t be bad because it is not happening.&lt;/I&gt;

No, of course you weren&#039;t stalking CW.. As I said, the fact that CW&#039;s home address is also his work address makes the issue moot..

And I am sure JL was not seriously accusing you of stalking..

My point wasn&#039;t the stalking/non-stalking.. My point was the difference in attitudes of stalking based on ideological positions..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;What kick did to you was not stalking. &lt;/I&gt;

What do you call scouring the internet for information on persons??

&lt;I&gt; In his case what makes it a little stalky is that cw generally leaves dh alone, so most of the attention is directed one way.&lt;/I&gt;

That&#039;s a distinction, not a difference</description>

		<description>Russ,

&lt;I&gt;And FYI, the police have mistakenly shot and killed an innocent person who pulled their concealed weapon. In Birmingham, Alabama last year, a young man who had just finished up his time in the military was shot and killed when police mistook him for the shooting suspect they were looking for.&lt;/I&gt;

As usual, you have no cite for this claim.

Because you KNOW I would find out that yer full of shit and it didn&#039;t go down that way..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;You&#039;re not a 14 year old girl who was sexually violated, you&#039;re a grown ass man who made the conscious decision to participate in a mud fight.&lt;/I&gt;

So, yer comparing the stalking of me and my family to a mud fight??

While it may not have been the rape of a 14 year old girl, stalking is a LOT closer to THAT than it is to a mud fight..

You DO realize that people have been KILLED by their stalkers, right??

Funny how you treat stalking differently depending on ideological beliefs..

DH stalking CW  BAD

Kick stalking me and my family??  meh...

&lt;I&gt;When people escalate a conflict, lines get crossed, and all parties share responsibility for the fallout.&lt;/I&gt;

Bullshit...

What *EXACTLY* did I do to Kick to justify her stalking of myself, my kids and my grandkids??

No answer??</description>

		<description>I&#039;d like to add another column for next year&#039;s McLaughlin Awards: &quot;This changes everything&quot;.  Here are my nominees:
* RBG (or another liberal justice) dies
* Trump&#039;s &#039;early physical&#039; was a preamble to a major health crisis (or death)
* N Korea&#039;s &quot;Christmas Surprise&quot; is a missile attack on an American ally
* ProPublica, or other investigative journal, publishes conclusive proof that voting machines in one of the &#039;swing states&#039; was hacked in 2016.
* The &#039;Pee Tape&#039; surfaces on the Internet - and shows Trump masturbating nude as the ladies pee on the mattress.
* Financial records, emails, or video are leaked, conclusive proof that several of Trump&#039;s loudest defenders are being blackmailed (by Russia? by FOX News?)
* The &#039;secret vault&#039; at the National Enquirer of of &#039;catch-and-kill&#039; stories is discovered and published, which even FOX News finds too putrid to defend</description>

		<description>Chris, a great column and a great way to end the year. 
I would be proud to have gotten 4 out of 11 predictions!  Who could have predicted that:
* Anyone would defend &quot;Sharpiegate&quot; and &quot;Let&#039;s Buy Greenland&quot; with a straight face?
* Republicans in the House of Representatives, in defending Trump shifting resources from the military budget to &#039;the wall&#039; -and&#039; denying Ukraine Congressionally-approved funds, are implicitly handing over their &#039;power of the purse&#039; to the Executive branch? 
* Evangelicals would find NOTHING too offensive that Trump says or does? (Though the Christianity Today editorial may -cross fingers- be a crack in the dam)
* The mass media would clutch pearls - and then quickly move to the next shiny object - at overt racism and anti-Semitism in Trump&#039;s words and actions?
* Farmers, miners, and many others who have seen little benefit from Trump&#039;s trade wars continue to stick with him (what does that say about the Democratic Party&#039;s persuasive powers?)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;You spin a good fantasy yarn..

But you have no basis in fact, training, experience or expertise..&lt;/i&gt;

I’ve got a helluva lot more experience and knowledge on this matter than you, that much is clear!  Please tell me what I said that qualifies, in you opinion, as “fantasy yarn”?  Do you think that if you pull your gun out during a possible live shooter incident that the police are going to just take you at your word that they should just keep going and ignore you because you pinky swear that you are not involved???   Really, Spanky? 

And you comparing idiots like you pulling your gun out during an active shooter incident to some life-saving medicine that you can count on to work is the funniest shit you’ve said in a long time!   You are much more likely to shoot yourself or another wanna-be hero than doing anything to help the situation.   Even if you are able to shoot and disarm the active shooter, you will be held until they can determine whether you are involved or working with the shooter or not!   Every single wanna be hero who pulls their concealed weapons out will be handcuffed and held until the whole incident plays out!  By all means, test this theory out for yourself if you think I am wrong!   

And FYI, the police have mistakenly shot and killed an innocent person who pulled their concealed weapon.  In Birmingham, Alabama last year, a young man who had just finished up his time in the military was shot and killed when police mistook him for the shooting suspect they were looking for. 

Just the fact that you claim that I am anti-gun is proof enough that you do not know what you are talking about.</description>

		<description>JL,

&lt;I&gt;i am content to stay out of it, but if you&#039;re going to call me out i&#039;d be happy to let you know how i feel about your flame war with kick. i am deeply saddened that it has happened, but i don&#039;t assign blame to any one side for the escalation.&lt;/I&gt;

So, you are saying that, in the case of a 14 yr old girl being raped because she wore a low cut top and short skirt, you wouldn&#039;t assign blame to any one side for the escalation?? 

What did I do that would justify stalking??

Being an annoying and arrogant prick??  

Supporting President Trump??

Sharing family pics and personal anecdotes with online friends??

What was it about my actions that would justify a deep dive into my personal life and the lives of my wife, my children and grandchildren??

I am sincerely curious as to what I have done that would justify having myself and my family stalked??</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;It&#039;s like fear mongering over a life saving drug that can save MILLIONS OF LIVES every year, because it&#039;s MAYBE SLIGHTLY COULD BE POSSIBLE that there MIGHT MAYBE be a bad batch that COULD MAYBE SLIGHTLY POSSIBLY kill a single person.

It&#039;s moronic and it&#039;s NOTHING but hysterical hate-based fear mongering..&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;The needs of the many.. Outweigh the needs of the few&lt;/B&gt;

Especially if those few are hate-filled bigoted Trump/America haters...   :eyeroll:</description>

<p>It's like fear mongering over a life saving drug that can save MILLIONS OF LIVES every year, because it's MAYBE SLIGHTLY COULD BE POSSIBLE that there MIGHT MAYBE be a bad batch that COULD MAYBE SLIGHTLY POSSIBLY kill a single person.</p>
<p>It's moronic and it's NOTHING but hysterical hate-based fear mongering..</p>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Just because it has not happened yet doesn’t mean it is not a concern!&lt;/I&gt;

Yes, that is exactly what it means..

It&#039;s called fear-mongering without ANY basis in fact.. :D

&lt;I&gt;Anyone with a gun out in these scenarios will find themselves looking down the barrel of the officers’ firearm and being placed in handcuffs. This is not a quick process and what is worse is that it can delay the search for the actual shooter!

So unless you have visual contact with the actual shooter and are firing at them, do the police a HUGE favor and keep your concealed weapon CONCEALED! Don’t pull it out “just in case” you might need it&lt;/I&gt;

You spin a good fantasy yarn..

But you have no basis in fact, training, experience or expertise..

It&#039;s simply your hysterical Left Wingery anti-gun bullshit talking..</description>

&lt;/i&gt;

You’ve never provided any evidence that it is a real stat.  You are a wanna be cop who has been exposed for lying in your posts  time and time again.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Gun control advocates raise the alarm that a permit holder will accidentally shoot a bystander or a police officer responding to reports of a mass shooting will accidentally harm a permit holder. This has never happened in a mass public shooting.&lt;/i&gt;

Just because it has not happened yet doesn’t mean it is not a concern!   What has occurred is that officers have been forced to disarm and detain those citizens to rule them out as being involved.   Anyone with a gun out in these scenarios will find themselves looking down the barrel of the officers’ firearm and being placed in handcuffs.  This is not a quick process and what is worse is that it can delay the search for the actual shooter!

		<description>&lt;I&gt;2018 stats are available, but can’t find your stats on any government website. Strange how that stat is not even part of law enforcements UCR reporting, so once again you prove what a lying, fear-mongering shitsprayer you truly are!&lt;/I&gt;

Can you prove it&#039;s a false stat without relying on Left Wing propaganda bullshit??

No you can&#039;t..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law earlier this year making it easier for people to carry guns with them into places of worship, former Vice President Joe Biden criticized the action. “It is irrational, with all due respect to the governor of Texas, it is irrational what they’re doing on the same day you see a mass shooting … and we’re talking about loosening access to have guns,” Biden said.

It’s hardly irrational. Permit holders have stopped dozens of would-be mass public shootings?in malls, churches, schools, universities and town centers. Gun control advocates raise the alarm that a permit holder will accidentally shoot a bystander or a police officer responding to reports of a mass shooting will accidentally harm a permit holder. This has never happened in a mass public shooting.&lt;/B&gt;

This is why it&#039;s SOOOO important that Democrats be taken far away from the levers of power..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;John Lott: Concealed-permit gun holders save lives — Texas church attack just the latest example

The attack on the West Freeway Church of Christ reminds us of an important truth that too many still deny:

Concealed-permit gun holders save lives. And in today’s world, they and their weapons should be welcomed in churches and other houses of worship.


Within seconds of the shooter opening fire on the Texas congregation Sunday, he was shot dead by two parishioners with concealed handgun permits, one of them a former FBI agent. Four other parishioners had their concealed handguns drawn, ready to respond. The attacker killed two congregants before he was taken down, but the death toll could have been much higher.

JAMES CARAFANO: TOP 5 WORLD HEADLINES TO WATCH FOR IN 2020 — SOME WILL SURPRISE YOU

“The citizens who were inside that church undoubtedly saved 242 other parishioners, and that might get swept aside,” said Jeoff Williams, a regional director with the Texas Department of Public Safety. “It was miraculous. The true heroes in all this are the people who were sitting in those pews today and responded, the immediate responders … it was truly heroic.”

“Today evil walked boldly among us,” Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn said at a press conference. “Let me remind you, good people raised up and stopped it before it got worse.”&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/john-lott-concealed-permit-gun-holders-save-lives-texas-church-attack-just-the-latest-example

The solution to Crowd Based Mass Shootings is obvious..

More good guys with guns...

The facts speak for themselves..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Compare that to the paltry 10-12 thousand dead from gun violence. And the majority of that number are scumbags whose passing made this country a better place...

Seems a valid trade-off to me..&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Hay!! That thing just killed a civilian!!!&quot;
&quot;We project an 11% collateral casualty rate.  Acceptable.&quot;
&quot;Yea... Unless you happen to be part of that 11%&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Yea, you probably say the same thing to the young girl who was violently raped because she wore a short cut skirt and a low cut top..

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/29/barack-obama-sanctions-russia-election-hack

Trump was the one who tried to get the sanctions removed which resulted in Congress voting (almost?) unanimously to change it so Congress, not the President, determined when sanctions ended.  

Also:
&lt;I&gt;Mental health is the key to addressing these mass murder events.. Concentrating on the tool used is nothing but a placebo and will actually cost more lives than it saves..

Odumbo&#039;s CDC proved that beyond any doubt..&lt;/i&gt;

How did the CDC prove this?  The Dickey Act still prevents the CDC from directly researching gun violence...which means you are WRONG, and either you are intentionally lying when you make such claims, or are just ignorant.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Murkowski ‘disturbed’ by McConnell’s vow for ‘total coordination’ with White House for impeachment trial&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.ktuu.com/content/news/-Murkowski-disturbed-by-McConnells-vow-for-total-coordination-with-White-House-for-impeachment-trial-566472361.html

Couple questions I would like to ask Murkowski..

Was she just as &quot;disturbed&quot; when House Democrats had &quot;total coordination&quot; with Trump/America haters whose ***STATED*** goal was a coup against President Trump??

		<description>&lt;I&gt;asking for someone&#039;s home address as a pre-condition for donating to their organization crosses a delicate line, and does not inspire trust.&lt;/I&gt;

While I would not argue the point, all things being equal, I would point out that a home address that is also a WORK address muddies the absolute-ness of your point..</description>

She would not say that Biden had not talked to her about being his running mate when asked; she only would say that she would not be running for president or the senate.</description>

		<description>@don,
asking for someone&#039;s home address as a pre-condition for donating to their organization crosses a delicate line, and does not inspire trust. the legal definition of cyber-stalking is still a bit murky, but i&#039;d wager most experts would at least consider this a step in a dangerous direction.

@cw,
i want to send you a free pie. please send your home address, phone number, social security number, bank account routing number, and favorite flavor. as it happens, i&#039;m also a prince from nigeria.

		<description>&lt;B&gt;New York Synagogue Attack: Machete-Wielding Suspect Captured In NYC After At Least 5 People Wounded In Monsey&lt;/B&gt;
https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2019/12/28/stabbing-monsey-synagogue-attack/

This is the point that hysterical anti-gun zealots simply refuse to comprehend..

Even if there was a way to guarantee that bad-guys would never get any guns (an impossible task) there is still a MULTITUDE of ways a psychotic scumbag can commit mass murder..

Australia proved that beyond ANY doubt.

If you address ONLY the tool used, people will STILL die in mass murder events..

The *ONLY* way to actually have a chance to STOP the violence and the murder is address the PERSON...

Mental health is the key to addressing these mass murder events..  Concentrating on the tool used is nothing but a placebo and will actually cost more lives than it saves..

Odumbo&#039;s CDC proved that beyond any doubt..

Interesting side note..

Deaths from Crowd Based Mass Shootings are up in 2019..

194...

Number of deaths in 2019 caused by illegal immigrant criminals??

Over 10,000

Democrats and Trump/America haters sure have funny priorities..  :eyeroll:

They want to (allegedly) save 194 lives by taking away law-abiding citizens&#039; only means of self-defense but they also want to aid and abet the brutal murders of over 10,000 Americans... 

Weird...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Texas Republican credits church security team, change in state law after shooting

The deadly shooting inside a Texas church on Sunday prompted Republicans there to credit the changes in state law that permitted concealed firearms inside places of worship after it was revealed that the gunman was fatally shot six seconds after opening fire.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/texas-republican-credits-church-security-team-change-in-state-law-after-shooting

SIX SECONDS!!!

SIX FRAKIN&#039; SECONDS!!

Because there was an armed citizen, the shooting was over in &lt;B&gt;***SIX SECONDS***&lt;/B&gt;

And there are people who STILL believe that guns are the problem..

Those people need their heads examined..

Guns are the problem

Guns are the SOLUTION to the problem!!

It&#039;s really THAT simple..</description>

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hecklers-biden-quid-pro-joe-new-hampshire

Joe Biden is damaged goods.

There is simply no way he is going to win the election even if he does win the primary..

As far as the primary goes, I will laugh my ass off if, for all their hoity toity talk of &quot;diversity&quot; and such, Democrats nominate an old white guy as their candidate.. :D

It would be worth having to vote for Biden in Nov to be able to laugh at that all thru 2020...  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;3 Dead After Shooting At West Freeway Church Of Christ In White Settlement

A witness told CBS 11 News the gunman walked up to a server during communion with a shotgun and then opened fire. According to the witness, another church member — identified as a former FBI agent and part of the church’s security — shot the suspect.&lt;/B&gt;

Another Crowd-Based Mass Shooting cut short by a good guy with a gun...

So much for the bullshit claim that the &quot;good guy with a gun&quot; mantra is a myth...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Thankfully, she is an incredible person whose record in the Georgia Legislature was very strong and she has been a leading force in battling the Republicans attempts at voter suppression.&lt;/I&gt;

You DO realize that what you are calling &quot;voter suppression&quot; was a law that was created and voted INTO law by Georgia DEMOCRATS!!

Well, at least you are not being sexist or racist about it..   :^/

&lt;B&gt;&quot;She&#039;s a woman and she&#039;s black.. Definitely VP material!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Obama insisted harsh sanctions be brought against Russia for their interference in our 2016 election.&lt;/I&gt;

Bullshit..

He refused to even ACKNOWLEDGE the Russian interference. He was afraid it would hurt Hillary&#039;s election chances.

How do we know this??  Because he himself STATED it..

He put POLITICS before the safety of this country.

&lt;I&gt;Trump is compromised. Trump hates the Ukrainians because Putin has instructed him to hate them. &lt;/I&gt;

Yea, you keep saying that.. But as usual, you don&#039;t have a single solitary fact that says this..

Even Democrat&#039;s Golden Boy Mueller exonerated President Trump on Russia collusion..

You sound EXACTLY like an Odumbo birther..

A broken record with not a SINGLE fact to back it up..</description>

<p>Yea, you keep saying that.. But as usual, you don't have a single solitary fact that says this..</p>
<p>Even Democrat's Golden Boy Mueller exonerated President Trump on Russia collusion..</p>
<p>You sound EXACTLY like an Odumbo birther..</p>
<p>A broken record with not a SINGLE fact to back it up..</p>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;You can stop saying Trump/America. They&#039;re two different things. There&#039;s Trump. There&#039;s America.&lt;/I&gt;

And those who hate Trump also hate America..</description>

		<description>That is simply not enough to be vice president in 2020.

I like her but she need to get more experience before anyone can consider her for their number two.</description>

		<description>Liz,

I heard from folks back in GA right after Biden announced he was running that he’d met with Abrams (who people were at that time pushing to get into the presidential race or the Senate race) and had said he believed that the two of them would be able to beat Trump soundly.   This would give her the needed national exposure and experience she needs to help her take her career to the next level, and it would give the Democrats the diversity they should be striving for on their national ballot.   It was at this time that Biden supposedly first mentioned only planning to serve one term.  

I think Abrams would be a great VP for whoever the Democrat’s pick as their presidential candidate.  A young black female on the ticket will definitely excite more voters and hopefully increase voter turnout..  Thankfully, she is an incredible person whose record in the Georgia Legislature was very strong and she has been a leading force in battling the Republicans attempts at voter suppression.</description>

		<description>Balthasar and Russ,

Choosing a vice president is a very, very serious proposition and involves substantial analysis.

Why would you choose warren or Abrams?</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Trump has slapped Russia down 20x harder than Odumbo..&lt;/i&gt;

Obama led the call for the removal of Russia from membership of the G8 in response to Crimea being invaded.
Trump is the sole person, other than Putin, calling for Russia to be added to the G7 roster despite Russia remaining in Crimea.

Obama insisted harsh sanctions be brought against Russia for their interference in our 2016 election.
Trump has continuously called for sanctions to be lifted off of Russia, told the Russian Foreign Minister that he had no problem with Russian interference in our elections, and has claimed it was actually been Ukraine that was guilty of interfering in the 2016 election — a claim that our intelligence agencies say is pure Russian propaganda!

Trump has chosen to discredit our intelligence agencies and the counterintelligence community countless times by saying that he trusts the word of Putin over their hard data and evidence showing Russia aided his campaign during the 2016 election.  

When Russian ships rammed a Ukraine naval vessel and held their entire crew captive for over a year, not only did Trump remain silent, he ordered the State Dept. NOT to put out a statement condemning the Russians.

Trump is compromised.  Trump hates the Ukrainians because Putin has instructed him to hate them.  You knowingly support the biggest traitor in our nation’s history!</description>

You can stop saying Trump/America.  They&#039;re two different things. There&#039;s Trump. There&#039;s America.

Blinded? I had no real idea who he was. All I knew was that the words he was saying were garbage.</description>

It was clear who Trump was talking about; Mexicans.  And Trump seemed to think that their government was sending them to the US for some reason.  

Did ya notice how Trump slipped up and said:

&lt;I&gt;They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with&lt;b&gt; us.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/I&gt;

Which makes total sense — he naturally associated himself with people that have lots of problems and that are criminals.</description>

		<description>Balthy,

Nah, Biden is going to go with Stacey Abrams as his VP.  Actually, I think Stacey Abrams is going to be the VP choice for whoever wins the nomination!   It makes sense... the Democrats want to get back the black voters who did not show up for Hillary excited to vote Democrat again, and Abrams is the person to do that.   I think Biden already promised Abrams that he would only be a one term president and that he’d make sure she got plenty of experience as VP to prepare her to take over the White House in 2024.   

While I think Warren would make a great VP, I honestly think she’d be better running the Treasury and implementing some of her plans to clean up the financial institutions in this country.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;&quot;When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.

That is how it ALWAYS is with ya&#039;all..  You lie and bullshit and pull things out of context, just to make your bullshit case..

Sounds reasonable. And unites the party, philosophically. Warren&#039;s got some strong views, but basically, she&#039;s a technocrat.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;That&#039;s called hearsay..&lt;/i&gt;

Sure, if you mean that I heard him say it.

You don&#039;t understand. Republicants have been taking a beating for the last few years at the ballot box - in Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas. Many of these places, Trump went to rally the troops. And they didn&#039;t show up.  

And his poll numbers never rise, much.

I think that the election is VERY winnable. We only have to keep Bernie off the ballot!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Not factually accurate..&lt;/i&gt;

I quote:

&lt;b&gt;&quot;When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people,&quot; Trump said at his campaign announcement.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt; people here in Weigantia, talked IMPEACHMENT even before President Trump took office..&lt;/i&gt;

facts?</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I have the fact of McConnell shooting his mouth off.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea.. That&#039;s called hearsay..  :D

&lt;I&gt;Well they did, until it got too pricey.&lt;/I&gt;

They NEVER did..  Democrats, INCLUDING people here in Weigantia, talked IMPEACHMENT even before President Trump took office..

So don&#039;t try that bullshit that ya&#039;all were willing to give President Trump a chance..

Ya&#039;all wanted his head since 10 Nov 2016...

&lt;I&gt;Very first thing that Trump said was to villify and demonize Mexicans.&lt;/I&gt;

Not factually accurate..  But why start now, eh??   :eyeroll:</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;SO, yer admitting that the GOP worked with Obama?&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, they did, often to the dismay of Democrats. I don&#039;t think he realized just how perversely partisan that they could be.

&lt;i&gt;So, you don&#039;t have any facts&lt;/i&gt;

Pulleeese. The recent rash of mass murders aren&#039;t leftists, you know. Very first thing that Trump said was to villify and demonize Mexicans. Y&#039;all throw stones from a glassy house.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Obama would be surprised to hear that. So you&#039;re saying that first, he needs thicker skin.&lt;/I&gt;

SO, yer admitting that the GOP worked with Odumbo???

&lt;I&gt;Out of 400 bills? Probably. According to Mitch, it just doesn&#039;t matter.&lt;/I&gt;

Probably?? So, you don&#039;t have any facts, yer just spewing..

OK..

&lt;I&gt;BINGO on that. Working with someone involves accommodation, and he just doesn&#039;t accommodate. So much so, that I imagine his hotels are terrible.&lt;/I&gt;

You don&#039;t want accommodation..  Democrats don&#039;t want accommodation...

You and the Democrats want ANNIHILATION!!  Ya&#039;all have made that perfectly clear from the second that Trump wiped the floor with Hillary Clinton..

&lt;I&gt;That&#039;s funny, because there are enough clues that a mantra of Pelosi&#039;s is &quot;all roads lead to Putin&quot;, and no one disagrees.&lt;/I&gt;

Everyone who is NOT a Trump/America hater disagrees..

But you and the Dumbocrats ignore and vilify and demonize those people..

Which explains EXACTLY why we HAVE President Trump...</description>

Let&#039;s face reality.

Odumbo was 10 times the friend to Putin than President Trump has EVER been...

Odumbo would not arm Ukraine..

Odumbo let Russia walk into The Crimea...

Odumbo eased and eliminated MANY of the sanctions against Russia...

Odumbo cancelled the missile defense program for the area, at the request of Putin..

All these FACTS and more prove that Odumbo was fellating Putin...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Democrats have been trying to work with Trump, or didn&#039;t you notice the legislation that was passed on the same day that they impeached him?&lt;/I&gt;

Oh bullshit.. Yes it&#039;s true that Democrats have gone along with President Trump here or there..

But &quot;working with&quot; someone means you don&#039;t badmouth them on a daily, oft times HOURLY basis..

&lt;I&gt;But it sure ain&#039;t easy. There are 400+ matters that have been sent to the Senate where they sit on McConnell&#039;s desk gathering dust, for example.&lt;/I&gt;

For example...???  Anything that&#039;s GOOD for the country and not just good for Democrats???

&lt;I&gt;White House meetings have resulted in Trump grandstanding, or just leaving the room. At least once, he just changed his mind.&lt;/I&gt;

OMG!!!  President Trump changed his mind!!!!????

&lt;B&gt;&quot;OH MY GOD, WHAT A FUCKING NIGHTMARE!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Marisa Tomeii, MY COUSIN VINNY

Frak impeachment!!!  Just take him out and SHOOT him!!!!!

You see why it&#039;s impossible to take you people seriously???

There is no low or medium with ya&#039;all..

It&#039;s all BLARING HYSTERIA all the time..

&lt;I&gt;He doesn&#039;t understand truth, civility, or the rudimentary way that governments work, &lt;/I&gt;

TRANSLATION:  He doesn&#039;t work the way YOU want him to work..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Elections have consequences..&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Barack Odumbo


&lt;I&gt;and wants desperately to hand it all to Putin.&lt;/I&gt;

Of course you think that..

Just as of course you don&#039;t have a SINGLE SOLITARY fact that supports it to the exclusion of all else....</description>
