Trump didn't set a standard.

It occurred to me tonight while listening to a talking head pundit discussion, that when Trump first started saying the election was rigged, he didn't say what evidence he would finally accept that the election wasn't rigged, and no one challenged him to set a standard much less to keep challenging him to set a standard.

So, the result of this is, the election is always rigged. Because there is no end standard! This must never happen again. We must not let him get away with this without poking and prodding for an answer, because the answer is then going to be, the election is always rigged if I haven't won!!!

I wish someone would follow Alina Habba(Trump's lawyer) with signs saying...He's not going to pay you! Or "Whatever he

promised you, you're never going to get it." Or, "You should have got all your money upfront, Habba" or "HA HA Habba, he's not going to pay you anything." "You like working for empty promises, Habba"

And so forth.

Does anyone here want to die for something Trump did, that you didn't even support.

Sure you didn't overthrow the government while he was in office to get rid of him. So, you're to blame if someone attacks and gets you killed?

That's kind of how I feel about the GAZA situation. You can rarely find even in a free environment more than 60% of the population agrees with any political movement.

So, I'd guess at least a minimum of 40% of the people there are going what the hell, I didn't support Hamas.

Even if I assume the best intentions from Israel, I think they're moving more with expediency than sheer deliberation and smart attacks.

I could be wrong. We'll see.

Why do you always have to opt out, not opt in?

This is kind of a personal gripe, but it's directly relates to the complaints about TikTok collecting data, and every other company.

You know, that statement where if you don't opt out, you're automatically opted in. Whoa! We just all accept that now. No one even questions it. Why are we always opted in, because we didn't opt out?

(I know, I'm probably attacking the advertising base used everywhere, but I am pretty sure it wasn't always this way)

If it was up to me, I'd tell Congress to address that issue as far as data collection.

What I wrote my conservative congress person today about Ukraine

Basically this, "if you're going to fund Ukraine, fund it, if not, don't, but don't sit on the goddamn thing for a month for two letting them get killed and beat down, and then get around to it." Because that's stupidest thing ever.

I don't know if that's the right approach, but that's what I did.

With embryos as people we're only an short jump away from ruining someone's life...

through a manslaughter or murder charge for killing a human being. It could be as simple as fender bender and a woman having a miscarriage shortly afterwards. If not one of those you could still face a costly lawsuit affecting your life for years. So, they're either lying about what a human being is, or they need to apply it just like you killed a baby in a baby carriage. That's what you would do for a human being especially a child. People get the death penalty for killing "children" intentionally.

Now all we need now is golden kneepads for the Freedom Caucus.

And several other Republicans. Yes, that's what they need.

(I found an old post in the archive about golden kneepads from years ago but couldn't revive it.)

Sometimes I torture myself listening to

...shouty Mark Levin on the way home in the evening. It sounded like he was going point by point why Biden should have been indicted, and I'm thinking, does that fool even realize when you throw the book at Biden, you're throwing an even bigger book at your orange Jesus Trump. No way around it marky.

throw the book at someone

to punish (someone) as severely as possible. The judge threatened to throw the book at him if he committed another offense.

Next time you hear it suggested Biden is weak compared to Trump. (responds weak, enemies are emboldened, etc.,)

Yes, any rational person initially looks weak besides a knee-jerk irrationally acting f****** idiot (and that's every other day for Trump)

Wouldn't a bill to sue social media companies, really open the door WIDE to suing gun sellers, and manufacturers?

Not that I would be sorry about that. But they want to be able to sue social media for what happens to kids.

Maybe someone can clarify?
