This is just the first of many falsehoods and lies that the Democrats and bias Media puts out between now and November 3rd to put Trump Administration on the defensive. After great Trump jobs report. 2020 Trump = 8 million jobs recovered in 4 Months 2009 Financial Crisis Obiden = 8 million jobs in 8 years. (by the way Joe Biden was in charge of job recovery. Joe's son received a new job. Hunter and Chris Heinz received jobs as HEDGE FUND MANAGERS OF ROSEMONT SENECA LLC after Joe gave them $130 million guaranteed loan from TALF RECOVERY PROGRAM. Then Hunter/Chris passed the millions in profits thru an offshore registered entity in the Cayman Islands tax shelter. It works on those that can't think for themselves and focus on the real issues of the day. The Democrats are going to get quite nasty. More so then they already are, if you can imagine. Shameful.

If you know how young those people were, including who they were forced to kill or be killed, you probably would have added perspectives....... The survivors are usually intelligent in the field or might have intelligent team mates and leaders (except those giving orders on uninformed condition from far away) that kept them alive............ There is an international best selling novel might give you a different perspective on how it was back then in the field and in the office....... Judging from what they have been through, good experience brings out excellent characteristics, bad experience does otherwise........ with exceptions......... They voted for Trump probably because he promised to improve their lives and conditions shall he was chosen........ He gave them hope as someone with military background who could may be empathize and help them thrive in life...... Soldiers make up one third of the votes, no? Not sure how far has he been keeping his promises after he was elected............. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could at least toss in a metaphor, or an educative story from the past. Your commander in chief is calling significant part of his voter base (and defenders of the US position in the world as a superpower) "bunch of losers". I would say it's deeply idiotic.

What you do not seem to grasp is that the US duopoly political-party system tends to surrender to the extreme elements in each Party and then produces candidates outside the mainstream.

The more extreme candidates got thinned out. Biden has signalled that he’s more moderate on many/most issues, which is what he needs to be in order to get elected. There is Irrefutable evidence that he implied that McCain was a loser because he was captured. It’s not a stretch to think he’d call casualties something similar. It’s what he does. Their electoral system is corrupt and dysfunctional. Their court and legal system is contaminated by politics, which makes it worse. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s no chance they’d accept some of my ideas, but opening the process to at least one more party would be a good start. Both parties need a swift kick to their tender parts. Giving the moderates a platform to get together and leave the more wingy candidates to swing in the wind can’t be worse than today’s status quo. The two-party system is keeping the civil war alive. It needs to die. There needs to be a winner - a united party. Edited September 7, 2020 by Rufus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zhong Lu + 845 September 7, 2020 (edited) Also, no matter who wins the presidential election, it won't matter 'cuz nothing major is going to happen, barring acts of God. Just a lot of screaming by both sides. Kinda like the last 4 years. When people are this deadlocked, they cancel each other out. For any real movement, going to have to wait another 10 years for Texas to turn blue and the old Fox news viewers to die off. Demographically the country is turning very very blue. All the blue states remain blue states and the red states are turning purple. Also, countries over time become more and more urban due to natural population increase.

Jan van Eck + 7,558 MG September 7, 2020 What you have here, folks, as delineated in the Post above by "Yoshiro Kamamura," which is not his name and that Poster is not even Japanese, he is an agent of the Red Chinese Military, propaganda and disruption unit, is a display of what passes for "fair trial" in Communist countries. First you have the "trial," and then you either "go to prison," or more likely, get packed into an open truck, paraded around in front of the townsfolk, and taken out to the field outside town. You are forced to kneel before the open pit, and then shot, your body (dead or still alive, nobody cares at that point) tossed into the pit. And that is the end of you. In the USA, as in Western countries, a trial has at least three possible outcomes. The Court may find you Guilty, or Not Guilty, or "not proven," which in the US system is a "hung jury." Another possible outcome is that, part way through, the prosecution realizes that they cannot continue a good-faith prosecution and files a Motion to withdraw the Complaint; another possibility is a Directed Verdict of not guilty, issued by the Judge; another possibility is an Order b y the Judge of not-guilty notwithstanding the decision of the Jury. In the Communist system, as they have in China, there is only one outcome: "Guilty." And death by shooting is common in China. There is no Appeal. There are no safeguards. You are immediately taken out and shot dead. Bye-b ye you. Mow, Mr. Yoshi wants to integrate that Chinese version to the USA when it comes to Donald Trump, the President, notwithstanding that in the US system of justice the President cannot be criminally charged. If the people are dissatisfied then he can be impeached, that's it. When Yoshi writes that "Trump stand fair trial and go to prison," he is not talking about a fair trial, because the outcome of a fair trial is up to the Jury. Only in Yoshi-land does a "fair trial" automatically end up in prison sentences. Yoshi is a Communist, an agent-provocateur, sesnt here in the Internet for the specific purpose of disrupting Western internet forums. Harbor no illusions about Yoshi Kamamura. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can get a constitutional amendment it is AOK. There is a good reason the founding fathers insisted on the electoral college. It is to protect the rights of the larger less populated states. They also get TWO SENATORS that have nothing to do with the population of the state. You would probably like to change that too.

Actually, this kind of state-equal-ism is a form of socialism. After all, why should the smaller and/or less populated states be treated the same as the larger states? If the smaller states want more power, get more people to move there! Btw, in true capitalism, police should be defunded -- only private security/armies should count (which is fine with me, as the city police practically works for my neighborhood, always having a car parked at our gate). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but the Constitution is the law of America. No change can occur outside of the procedures outlined therein. If it is not followed it is up to the American people to see that the offenders are removed from power. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
