That Ralph gave me lip service says more about Ralph not living up to the standard he sets for others than anything about me.

CW's propaganda is an insult to any intelligent human being. Providing my opinion that CW is spewing lies and propaganda is not insulting CW. That's just you making up bullshit as a dodge.

It's always them and never you. At some point you have to take responsibility for the failures of your organization.

I keep asking because you keep dodging and trolling.

Yes, we get it. When you can't answer a question, you accuse of dodging and trolling. Bit boring really...

Answer with a real discussion that is not dodging trolling bullshit and I won't have to ask again.

You remind me of those annoying robocalls about the car warranty. They always promise it's the final warning. Then they call again. I can't count the number of times I have asked you a wide variety of questions and always the same answer: see previous reply above.

Your trolling is not in the spirit of the new dynamic and it has no place here and neither do you if you continue trolling.

Ah. that's why you called me a coward in the new FTP comments, the new dynamic...

Yes, I agree, everything after that statement is your usual dodges and trolling. Ralph did address you and basically gave you lip service. I have no idea why you would think insulting CW on the regular basis would get him to take you seriously or if he even reads your posts...

Just because something had not happened yet does not mean it cannot happen.

But it's not going to happen spontaneously and you have proven to us one thing, working toward your goal is not in your forte.

One Demand is still fresh because the package has not even been opened yet.

And never will...

Please explain why democracy is not an alternative.

To what? Democracy? My aren't you witty asking the same question over and over. Get a candidate and we will talk democracy. Don't worry, I'm not holding my breath...

But you have never had a candidate that passes your litmus test. What are you doing to improve?

Please explain why democracy is not an alternative.

It already is democracy, no alternative needed. You are not doing democracy but advocacy, and poorly at that. You have been at this for almost a decade with zero candidates to show for it, why would anyone think your batting average is going to change? Have you upped your game? Updated your site so your failed Billy Joel contest is no longer listed and the dates somewhat current? Got anyone to back you? Or is One Demand still as stale as five year old bread?

Trump is president and Putin gets his two day invasion handed to him on a silver platter. Back up: Bolton. Sure I don't him but he is more likely to be "factual" than Trump or you...

There WAS NO TRUMP/RUSSIA COLLUSION during the 2016 election.. :D

There was no “collusion” found because, as Mueller made exhaustively clear, the investigation never looked at whether the fictitious crime had been committed. You are likely never to find something that you are intentionally NOT looking for. And when what you are looking for is limited to actions taken within an extremely narrow set of parameters.

Trump’s Acting AG had quietly ordered the counterintelligence investigation be halted. Mueller’s team simply had to note any questionable actions committed by Trump’s team that fell outside the strict parameters set for him by the Acting AG… but they could not investigate those actions further. When have you ever heard of law enforcement NOT being able to further investigate whether even more serious crimes were committed?

As for Hunter Biden’s laptop… the information came from a laptop dropped off and left by someone claiming to be Hunter Biden. Of course, the shop has no video evidence to support this claim, and the employee who received the laptop and is the only witness just happens to be legally blind. And how convenient for Hunter to drop off his laptop and then just refuse to go back to retrieve it when the shop notified him that it was ready! What perfect timing — right when Trump is needing a big crisis for the Biden’s to help his failing campaign! The info might be from Hunter’s laptop… but hard drives can easily be cloned. President Biden’s daughter’s personal diary was stolen and dropped off with a right-wing news group. Republicans will do anything to stay in power.

Ukraine-Russia war: Over 6.4M people displaced in Ukraine, 12M stranded or unable to flee, UN coalition says
UN Refugee Agency estimates that more than 3.2 million refugees have fled Ukraine since Feb. 24.

This is Ukraine under Biden and Harris...

Under President Trump's 2nd term, it's more than likely that Putin would have stayed in Russia, as Putin did for President Trump's entire 1st term..

Which would you have preferred??

A decimated and all but destroyed and defeated Ukraine under Biden and Harris??

Or a peaceful and prosperous intact Ukraine under a President Trump 2nd term..

It's a very simple question..

The fact that ya'all don't want to answer is pretty much an answer in itself..

Just because you make up a choice does not mean it's the only other alternative...

I am open to other logical and rational alternatives..

Got any with facts to support???

Several... But you are missing the point..

If the American people had known about all this, it's more than likely that, even with the fraud and cheating, President Trump would have won the election..

And, given the fact that President Trump kept Putin in his corner, it's more than likely that Putin would NOT have attacked Ukraine under President Trump's 2nd term..

So, the question still remains..

Would you prefer an intact and unmolested Ukraine under President Trump??

Or do you prefer a decimated and totally demolished Ukraine under a Biden regime??

Also, considering Trump paid off Stormy (and what's her name) right before the 2016 election, I don't understand why you'd bring up the subject of cover ups, either.

Michale?

And the relevance to the current situation is... what exactly???

Under Biden, Ukraine is all but destroyed...

Under President Trump, Putin was contained and content to stay in his corner....

It's a simple question..

Which do you prefer???

...I'm sure Trump being President had nothing to do WITH it, right?

Also, considering Trump paid off Stormy (and what's her name) right before the 2016 election, I don't understand why you'd bring up the subject of cover ups, either.

Michale?

Shirley you know that both ALL CAPS and boldified text are the equivalent of shouting, right? As you've chosen to show us the errors of our Libtard ways excessive SHOUTING is counterproductive to your cause.

It's your voice so it's your choice, just saying.

You posted a number of things that I disagree with, but so what?

I'd still like to know

1- why should we care about Hunter Biden? What law did he break?

2- Ivanka got a bunch of Chinese patents and the Saudis bailed Jared out with a massive loan. I'm sure Trump being President had nothing to do we it it, right? The kids didn't break the law and until proven otherwise neither did Hunter.

Also, considering the entire Trump family's corruption I don't understand why you want to even bring up the subject.

Is there ANYONE here who would be OK with President Trump if it meant that Ukraine would not be suffering and being decimated right now???

Anyone??

For the very first time in 85 yrs, I voted for the Dem, after having posted on this forum that the choice for 20 was between "An over-the-hill, marginally competent, venal mediocrity Dem, and an equally venal, ignorant ass-hole-of-a-human-being, reality TV actor Rep, that I had to go with the Dem.

And yet, look how good things were under President Trump..

And look how utterly and completely frak'ed things are under Biden at the helm...

Can you admit that you were wrong?? :D

THAT is the true test of character...

And, with all the GOOD that President Trump did, even though persecuted 24/7/365....

Imagine how AWESOME things would have been under President Trump if he, and this country didn't have to deal with the complete and utter BULLSHIT that Democrats and Trump/America haters pushed...

Hell, we probably would have had a MARS colony (settlement) by now if Democrats and Trump/America haters had put COUNTRY before their hate and bigotry...

For the very first time in 85 yrs, I voted for the Dem, after having posted on this forum that the choice for 20 was between "An over-the-hill, marginally competent, venal mediocrity Dem, and an equally venal, ignorant ass-hole-of-a-human-being, reality TV actor Rep, that I had to go with the Dem.

My hat's off to you. Putting Country over Party makes you a true Patriot.

Born and raised Democratic, I nevertheless truly had to hold my nose to vote for Hillary -- even though she was running against the clearly unqualified Trump.

So I'm every bit as dissatisfied as you with our crappy two party system.

Now, I have learned enough about you in the last week or so to KNOW that, if it was a choice between President Trump and a totally decimated and war-torn Ukraine, you would choose President Trump in a stone cold minute...

But hay... Maybe I am wrong..

Which would you prefer??

President Biden and a completely destroyed and decimated Ukraine with tens of thousands of Ukrainians maimed and dead???

OR....

President Trump and an untouched and flourishing Ukraine with all her citizens happy and free??

Yer call...

Democrats, Big Tech and Leftist Rags said that the Hunter Biden laptop was NOTHING but Russian disinformation..

We now know that THAT is a false and bullshit claim..

Ergo, you people now need to look at the FACTS that came from the Hunter Biden laptop and incorporate those facts into ya'all's group think...

Failure to do so is to deny the facts and deny reality..

Because.. Even when they ADMIT the facts, the NY Grime is STILL a Left Wing Rag...

So, they need to give die hard America hating morons a hook to hang their hats on..

To look to the FACTS, you need to look at the original reporting that documented AS FACT all the facts from the Hunter Biden laptop, complete with sworn affidavits that are in the FBI's possession...

I get it.. Ya'all need to hang yer hats on whatever tenuous hook ya'all can find..

But the FACTS are there... Just as the FACTS of the NO RUSSIA COLLUSION are there...

But there are none so blind as those who REFUSE to see..

I skimmed over some of the copy-paste-boldify stuff (your habit of overdoing this does not serve you as well as posting what you have to say) read your words and my question is why do you even remember let alone care about Hunter Biden?

Because.. If Democrats and Big Tech and Leftist Media hadn't conspired to HIDE these FACTS from the American people, then Biden would NOT be POTUS...

And if President Trump were POTUS, then Russia would not have invaded Ukraine..

Now, I have learned enough about you in the last week or so to KNOW that, if it was a choice between President Trump and a totally decimated and war-torn Ukraine, you would choose President Trump in a stone cold minute...

Why do you care and why should I/we?

Because of the FACTS that I just stated...

I skimmed over some of the copy-paste-boldify stuff (your habit of overdoing this does not serve you as well as posting what you have to say) read your words and my question is why do you even remember let alone care about Hunter Biden? Is right-wing media still obsessed with him? What does Hunter have to do with anything? Likewise, collusion is old news (until Trump gets indicted at which point Mueller's report will suddenly be relevant again.)

Why do you care and why should I/we?

The facts are finally coming out...

But they are in reruns? How many times are you going to post the same story form a different source? And they are all still quoting the NYT as it "appears" to be from the laptop. Why is the NYT using that language if it is as proven as you allege?

The Times has now expressly and unambiguously stated that the laptop was abandoned by Hunter Biden, contains authentic emails, and is part of the basis for the ongoing investigation of Biden by federal authorities. Even with this admission against interests, the Times is downplaying the possible criminal charges in coverage strikingly different from its coverage of Trump officials charged on the same grounds.

It's hard to post the facts about something that the Left tried so hard to hide and what actually may have turned the tide of the 2020 election...

For two years, the New York Times has been largely quiet. Now, it appears, the truth can be told.
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/hunter-biden-laptop-new-york-times-jonathan-turley

The facts are finally coming out...

Biden would NOT be president if Democrats, Leftist Media and Big Tech had not conspired to hide the facts from the American people..

Yes... :D

Does that include the email where Hunter writes: "...and that we need to abide by FARA and any other U.S. laws in the strictest sense across the board."?

As much as ya'all include President Trump's plea to 6 Jan rioters to "protest peacefully"... :D

It works both ways, Bashi...

Am I? Or are you lumping me into your version of the "left" for convenience?

I have thought since early on that there was little to no collusion but that was not due to a lack of trying. Trumpers: We want to coordinate with you. Russia: Na, we got this!

There are PLENTY of facts that prove the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop and the emails that were contained within..

For those who are actually interested in looking at the FACTS, that is..

Does that include the email where Hunter writes: "...and that we need to abide by FARA and any other U.S. laws in the strictest sense across the board."?

Actually , there was at least one "Biden voter" who DID know the truth about the laptop, and voted for Biden anyway, (me).

For the very first time in 85 yrs, I voted for the Dem, after having posted on this forum that the choice for 20 was between "An over-the-hill, marginally competent, venal mediocrity Dem, and an equally venal, ignorant ass-hole-of-a-human-being, reality TV actor Rep, that I had to go with the Dem.

Th real tragedy here is that we Americans were ever subjected to such a choice. Must be something wrong with the system!!

For those who are actually interested in looking at the FACTS, that is..

Hunter Biden scandal: Media slowly acknowledges legitimacy to emails after dismissing laptop story in 2020
The New York Times verified Hunter Biden's emails after multiple outlets suggested they were 'Russian disinformation'
https://www.foxnews.com/media/hunter-biden-scandal-new-york-times

Have those emails been modified?

Not according to sworn affidavits..

I repeat: every single thing will have to be independently corroborated.

Every single thing HAS been independently corroborated...

THAT's the point..

Big Tech, Leftist Media and Democrats hid these facts from the American people..

Not according to sworn affidavits..

I repeat: every single thing will have to be independently corroborated.

Big Tech, Leftist Media and Democrats hid these facts from the American people..

Of course you wouldn't.. You still are at the Starter's Mark over the Russia Collusion delusion.. :D

But the facts are clear..

The Hunter Laptop emails, like the Hillary Clinton emails are a fact.. If Democrats and Big Tech and Leftist Media hadn't conspired to hide these facts, Biden would not be in the Oval Office..

This is also fact..

Have those emails been modified? Added to? Small juicy details inserted here or there? Was the laptop his or was it a plant with emails added to it that were hacked from somewhere else? I repeat: every single thing will have to be independently corroborated.

Yes we do.. The FBI has sworn affidavits that PROVE those emails came from that laptop..

The mere fact that Lefties, Big Tech and Leftist media tried to bury the facts as "Russian Disinformation" provide facts to support theclaim

Well, for starters, it contributed to the complete and utter fraud of the 2020 election..

I wonder why the post leaves out this little nugget from the NYT article:

In the same April 2014 email, Hunter Biden indicated that Burisma’s officials “need to know in no uncertain terms that we will not and cannot intervene directly with domestic policymakers, and that we need to abide by FARA and any other U.S. laws in the strictest sense across the board.”

The other problem of course is:

Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop.

We don't know if it came from that laptop. If it did come from that laptop then every single thing will have to be independently corroborated due to Giuliani's completely incompetent chain of custody and the general sketchiness of the entire situation.

You may very well get your victory lap, but I wouldn't be putting on the track pants quite yet...

The difference is NOW, all that information has been authenticated and established as fact by Left Wing rags..

There are several eyewitnesses that stated unequivocally Joe Biden's involvement in Hunter Biden's influence-peddling schemes...

The FBI has sworn affidavits that makes this connection factual...

But the point is still valid.. Democrats and Weigantians made it clear that the information on Hunter Biden's laptop was nothing but "Russian disinformation"...

That claim has now been PROVEN to be factually not accurate..

The cover-up failed.. This is fact...

no proof of malfeasance yet, but i'll keep an open mind. it's certainly possible hunter misrepresented his influence with his father to profit from foreign companies, but then we already knew that.

Democrats are feeling pretty thankful for the Ukraine war to distract the US masses from all the hits the Left is taking..

There WAS NO TRUMP/RUSSIA COLLUSION during the 2016 election.. :D

The New York Times hates to say The Post told you so..

It’s not until the 24th paragraph that the story mentions e-mails involving Hunter Biden and his associates in those deals, followed by these two sentences: “Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.”
https://nypost.com/2022/03/17/the-new-york-times-hates-to-say-the-post-told-you-so/

At the behest of my new-found BFF :D I'll forgo the posting of the entire txt of the article.. Feel free to peruse it for yerselves and see how badly the unholy triad of Big Tech, Leftist Media and Democrats conspired to keep the FACTS from the American people to prevent President Trump from maintaining his rightful position as PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES..

Biden voters should be hanging their heads in shame and should feel so utterly used and duped...

Ukraine would be *CRAZY* to accept this deal....

Elsewhere on Fox News, the Hunter Biden story was completely debunked as a giant nothingburger.
http://www.chrisweigant.com/2020/10/30/friday-talking-points-the-scariest-election-ever/

It has now been established as FACT that, far from being "completely debunked" the Hunter Biden laptop story has been completely and 1000% authentic as factual by the main Democrat Party Propaganda outlet, the NY Grime...

It's also established as FACT that, had Democrats not conspired with Big Tech and Leftist Media outlets to hide the fully factual Hunter Biden Laptop story, Joe Biden would not be President today.

And, as has ALSO been established as fact, with President Trump in office, Putin would have maintained his low profile/hiding behind his desk while President Trump was in office and would not have attacked Ukraine...

QED... Biden voters are directly responsible for Putin's invasion of Ukraine...

Kinda puts it all in perspective, eh? :D

Nobody says it better than Glenn Greenwald...

He and I disagree on a lot.. Most notably gun control and domestic surveillance..

But GG has *NEVER* given ANY hint or reason for anyone to doubt his journalistic integrity...

When it came to domestic surveillance, Greenwald gave as much passion going after Odumbo as he did going after Bush...

THAT is journalistic integrity...

People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-tax-bill-investigation.html

Looks like Leftist Media, Big Tech and MANY Democrats have some 'splainin' to do...

An opinion poll showed that if Americans had known about the laptop and its contents, 17% in swing states would not have voted for Biden. That number could have tipped the presidential election to Donald Trump. Forty-five thousand votes separated the two. But instead, Big Tech censored the story to limit its reach and help the Democrats.

Every Biden voter was duped... Every Biden voter is complicit in Putin's savagery against Ukraine... :^/

The NYT Now Admits the Biden Laptop -- Falsely Called "Russian Disinformation" -- is Authentic

The media outlets which spread this lie from ex-CIA officials never retracted their pre-election falsehoods, ones used by Big Tech to censor reporting on the front-runner.

Shirley, you jest....

It is undeniable that if Big Tech and Leftist Media had not worked so hard and were so successful at discrediting THE FACTS....

Joe Biden would not be President today and Putin would not be savaging Ukraine...
