Anyhow it is time you leave the bullshit about stolen election. It deprives any other argument you may have.
Anytime you lose Dondi...

And not much evidence is "proof".
Well you saved me from wasting my time reading it.

Sounds like BS, 60 court case losses indicate there was zero evidence of election fraud.

It appears you have no understanding of what evidence is and is not.

See what we got to look foreword to.


They (Cult) will never learn and interacting with them only feeds their need to improve self esteem.

I only call it out when I see it. i.e. it's not MY over-use.

I'm really trying to have a discussion on the issues. I keep throwing things out there that might prime the pump, but it just never really gets any traction. Nobody want's to do any more than insult "the opposition".

And it is not lost on me that whenever a "thinking Democrat" or conservative tries to have a discussion here, they just end up walking away, leaving the same, tired circle Jerk, with me as the "loyal opposition". But even I get my fill of it sometimes. I have hope in my fellow man and I expect that the young guys here will eventually mature, as I did when I was one. I thought that article (and other things I've referenced, will sink in at least a little bit. But I suspect few people actually read any of those articles or watch any of the videos. But "few" is more than "none". So here I am.

Didja ever wonder why I'm right so often? It's not me. It's the quality of my news sources. As I've mentioned before, I dumped TV in 1997. I have news sources from all over the world with a myriad of takes on each issue, allowing me to determine the "truth" from all the facts from all the diverse sources.

Plus, way back in 1964 my 4th grade teacher taught us about press bias with an excellent exercise. It was a simple story about a man breaking into a bakery and stealing a loaf of bread. One news story was sympathetic to the bakery, and the other was sympathetic to the thief. It was a solid lesson, that a fourth grader could understand, regarding bias in the press, and how you can clean it away from the facts in a news story, regardless of the source.

And, as I used to tell my daughters when they were kids (they are all over 40 now), the press is not only biased in how they present news stories, but also in what stories they choose to report. And I, as a news consumer, get to choose what stories are important and what stories are fluff.

I love that movie! I bought it when it first came out as a testimony/reminder of where we are headed. It was very prophetic. It even seems to have a bit of DEI in it. And, "Welcome to Costco. I love you."

I talk to a couple of these gullible people everyday at work. It amazes me how intelligent people, and the ones I know are, fall for this BS.

Oh well, the cult needs to have a base I guess.

Maybe when you come here with some reasoned subject for discussion that is not misinformation and outright fantasy, you will get some reasonable discussion.

I won't hold my breath waiting for it.

It does not work. Like I mentioned "we" try to have these discussion at work, they bring it up as they know I will listen to their positions.

The civil discussion is their POV and myself and others debunking, they do not want to hear it and it always ends with us being "brain washed woke people" or something similar.

They both often site the same source and its articles as in the OP, its a very hard right leaning site for grooming disciples, it is working with the 2 guys I have known for 17 yrs. I have watched there slide down the crazy rabbit hole.

Not many of the Trump voters I lnow believe 2020 was stolen, it was all about their wallet for them.

You're a poster child for the Dunning-Kruger Effect. In summary, you're too stupid to know you're stupid. Or better yet, too insane to know you are insane.
