Politics Thread

[Muskie in dayton]

As the time approaches for inauguration, it appears that the president has become a little unhinged.
Georgia has recounted all the votes 3 times I think, and additionally had a verification of the signatures on mail in ballots done by investigators, with no discrepancies found.

Threatening the Georgia Secretary of State to find ballots to reverse the election results sounds desperate. I actually feel sorry for the SoS as a Republican trying to his job, and getting threatened by the president of the country. Has to be hard. Hopefully this nonsense ceases on Jan 20th.

Now that this story has prove to be fabricated and WaPo issued a retraction, do you Dems feel silly? You should.

Does it make you wonder what else you have been lied to about? It should.

Sorry, I must have missed this.

Was the tape of his call to the Georgia official a made up tape? I'd like to read about that. Please provide link.

I mean I’m absolutely SHOCKED the dems would make shit up. SHOCKED I TELL YOU! No it wasn’t a made up tape the Georgia official lied about what was in it, tried to destroy the evidence of the lie, then a real version was found that, unsurprisingly, shows Trump said nothing of what was alleged. There is no low that dems will not stoop to.

The Washington Post issued a retraction yesterday Paul. Two months after they “Broke” a story. Look it up.
Funny how you “miss” things that don’t support your ridiculous beliefs. This the exact “Fake News” that yellow journalistic outlets like the Bezos Post have been spreading for 4 years.

And how about that Biden Border Crisis, huh? Now Dallas is opening up an entire Convention Center to house the flood of illegals.
You “missing” that too?

We are housing 3,000 illegals in a convention center while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money. We’ve lost our way pretty damn hard.

Might be a good investment to send a whole shitload of those J&J vaccine doses down to the border and jab everyone coming in. Not particularly fair to US citizens who are waiting on their vaccine, but it might be the best bet to avoid a surge related to this group.

So we got a crisis at the border, we’ve got a media engaged in what I consider to be a 1984-esque war with the people, and now Biden wants to ship more jobs oversees with a planned corporate tax increase from 21 to 28% in order to pay for his buffoonery of a “covid” relief bill. Why does Amtrak get a billion dollars for covid relief?

I'm not "missing" anything.
The tape I referred to, and linked to, which MuskieDayton linked my post that contained it, was a tape of Trump pressuring Raffensberger to find 11,780 votes in his favor so he could win by 1.

The new tape, a different tape, of the Georgia investigator with Trump, was finally discovered. If I understand it, it was slightly different than the what the Post reported from an interview with the supervisor of the person. Some of the precise wording was incorrect, but the tenor of the conversation was the same. So...the Post issued a retraction to that...as they should.

Now...should I hold my breath for Trump to retract any of his 30,000 lies? How about just one. How about he retracts that he really won the election bigly.

Then ask yourself, why did Trump's chief of staff visit an investigator in one state in the Union. And why did the president of the United States had time to call and exert pressure on this investigator.

I am not sure how one is related to another here?

We are spending billions on defense while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money. We’ve lost our way pretty damn hard?

We are subsidizing sports stadiums while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money. We’ve lost our way pretty damn hard?

We are funding high school football while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money. We’ve lost our way pretty damn hard?

We are painting the Brent Spence Bridge while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money. We’ve lost our way pretty damn hard?

We are building parks while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money. We’ve lost our way pretty damn hard?

We are funding jails while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money. We’ve lost our way pretty damn hard?

We are cutting taxes while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money. We’ve lost our way pretty damn hard?

We are funding museums while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money. We’ve lost our way pretty damn hard?

I think the underlying issue is that while we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets begging for money, and that is independent of all of the other funding decisions that we make. I would call your rep and ask them to support funding for homeless veterans.
