[meaner gene]

Name any harm Trump had brought to the nation while President for his 4 year term in office doing the people's business, excluding January 6th.

Excluding January 6th?

Is that like, Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

 

[bodecea]

You leftist terrorist have killed the nation.
You have obliterated our borders with brown gangs , destroyed the dollar , bankrupted the youth, killed European culture etc etc

So, again. When are you leaving? It would be a Win/Win.

USA only had a few hundred thousand slaves and most were shipped to other nations

Slavery has been huge in Africa since early man

This is Trump's impotent tantrum... You can all see what a loser he is.

They cheer it on. They love it.

A true group pathology.

Irrationality has become the new common sense, for RWers only, that is. The rest of us live in the real world.

The real world had a fraudulent election. Repeating it wasn't and that is realty is not working. The guilt shown by everyone involved is glaring.

Still no evidence, I see. And there never will be.

How would you know that? Do you know what an illegal ballot is? You are going to find out.

You are going to submit an illegal ballot, aren't you?

Time for troll patrol?

'CRIME OF THE CENTURY!' Trump issues furious statements lashing out at Pence and Mitch McConnell for his election loss

On Saturday, former President Donald Trump issued a pair of statements doubling down on the "big lie" that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him — and specifically going after former Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for not doing more to...

www.rawstory.com

He's ruminating, fuming, lashing out, pissed, piqued, storming. (Crime of the Century? Has this average IQ'r ever had a thought, phrase, moniker, meme, tag line of his own invention? Remember, Make America Great Again was Reagan's).

Anyone else think the legal cases are getting ready to start breaking? The walls are closing in and he knows it? Remember his attorneys must be apprised of what is coming down the pike. Discovery, requests, subpoenas, etc.

Think of JUST his DC hotel financials being turned over yesterday by GSA to congress. McGahan has come up with a deal to testify to congress. Cohen just went to see the NY prosecutors (8th 'visit') less than a month ago. Trump ORG's CFO is negotiating a deal to keep him and or his SONS out of jail. That's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

May 15, 2021

"As our Country is being destroyed, both inside and out, the Presidential Election of 2020 will go down as THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!" wrote Trump in his first statement, following up with a second that said, "The polls were a joke. I won States in a landslide that I was predicted to lose days before the election," Trump added. "Other states had me purposely so far down that it would force people, even fans, to say "Let's stay home Darling. We love our President, but he can't win." ... It's called SUPPRESSION POLLING and it should be illegal."

"The 2020 Presidential Election was, by far, the greatest Election Fraud in the history," continued Trump. "Had Mike Pence had the courage to send the Electoral College vote back to the states for recertification, and had Mitch McConnell fought for us instead of being the weak and pathetic leader he is, we would right now have a Republican President who would be VETOING the horrific Socialistic Bills that are rapidly going through Congress, including Open Borders, High Taxes, Massive Regulations, and so much else!"

The "Crime of the Century" was perpetrated by thousands of nefarious masterminds, coordinators, collaborators, and perpetrators at every level in multiple states - including Republican governors, secretaries of state, attorneys general, election commissioners, supervisors, auditors, and judges - Trump-appointees included - and not a single suspect was ever implicated.

Wow. Crime of the Millennium, at the very least!

Not yet.

And when they make that decision on January 6th, or for however long it takes to certify or determine, that certification is final and non-reviewable.

Bullshit. Everything is reviewable.

There is separation of powers. The courts can not review the acts of congress which the congress gives alone to congress. Ex: If congress expels one of it's members, the court can't review or change it.

LOL... Something like a general election that has the ability to change the citizen's nation against it's will, of course is reviewable on that basis alone. Congress works for we the people, and not as dictator's.

Yeah, but Trump is a total piece of trash and anyone believing anything he says at this point is in a cult.

Name any harm Trump had brought to the nation while President for his 4 year term in office doing the people's business, excluding January 6th. Now in the few days Bidens been President, name the problem's he is causing this nation. Be honest now.

Why excluding January 6th?

The United States Census of 1800 was the second Census conducted in the United States. It was conducted on August 4, 1800. It showed that 5,308,483 people were living in the United States, of whom 893,602 were slaves.

1810 THIRD CENSUS: U.S. population totals 7.2 million, including 1.4 million African Americans, of whom 1.2 million are enslaved.

I don't even believe that there were thousands of affidavits.

Trumps lawyers had websites where people could fill out an affidavit online. So many of the affidavits they had were made by bots and trolls.

Read my signature, those people are real. Aren't you sick of lying yet? Admit the election was stolen. It is going to be proven.

It's never going to be proven because it didn't happen. Biden won fair and square due, in large part, to the fact that the majority of the electorate were sick and tired of Trump's antics and his piss poor response to Covid.

I don't expect Trump supporters to like it, but I expect rational people to accept it because that's what happens in life. Just like our favorite teams can lose the big game, our preferred candidates can lose elections or reelections if and when they fail to expand their voter base which is exactly what Trump failed to do from day one.

In fact, I'll go further than that. When a candidate seems to go out of his way to alienate independents, it's almost as if he wanted to set the stage for losing just so he could make claims of fraud and create even more conflict which he's long been reported to like.

If you believe there was no fraud you are dishonest or stupid or both. Period.

I've admitted that there is limited fraud in every election. But there was NO systemic fraud which changed the outcome of the election. Grow up and be an adult. That means accepting reality instead of denying it.

Hard to believe you can actually take this approach, but you might want to believe that this nation is systemically racist also. It's time for the left to quit lying and race baiting, and all to the point of destruction of the very thing they desire so bad or exceedingly to be leadership over.

This country was built on racism.

It was built on hard work and determination by all whether freeman or slave. Once slavery was abolished, of course everyone had the opportunity to struggle foward against all odds, even in the face of all sorts of evilness, but white's were just as much a part of ending slavery, and struggling to help the black's overcome slavery as anyone was...

The bolded portion of your statement is patently false since once slavery was abolished the white supremacists of society created another system of captivity for black people via a series of legislation and court rulings - Jim Crow, "separate but equal", the convict leasing problem are just a few examples of such.

The 13th Amendment which abolished slavery states ""Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." How to get around this? Create a bunch of laws that apply only to black people and are easily if not impossible to avoid violating and voila, you now you have new crop of free labor

Does an Exception Clause in the 13th Amendment Still Permit Slavery?

Does an Exception Clause in the 13th Amendment Still Permit Slavery?​

The amendment, which officially abolished slavery in the United States in 1865, includes a loophole regarding involuntary servitude.

The year the Civil War ended, the U.S. amended the Constitution to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude. But it purposefully left in one big loophole for people convicted of crimes.

The 13th Amendment, ratified in 1865, says: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” Scholars, activists and prisoners have linked that exception clause to the rise of a prison system that incarcerates Black people at more than five times the rate of white people, and profits off of their unpaid or underpaid labor.

“What we see after the passage of the 13th Amendment is a couple of different things converging,” says Andrea Armstrong, a law professor at Loyola University in New Orleans. “First, the 13th Amendment text allows for involuntary servitude where convicted of a crime.” At the same time, “black codes” in the south created “new types of offenses, especially attitudinal offenses—not showing proper respect, those types of things.”

After the Civil War, new offenses like “malicious mischief” were vague, and could be a felony or misdemeanor depending on the supposed severity of behavior. These laws sent more Black people to prison than ever before, and by the late 19th century the country experienced its first “prison boom,” legal scholar Michelle Alexander writes in her book The New Jim Crow.

“After a brief period of progress during Reconstruction, African Americans found themselves, once again, virtually defenseless,” Alexander writes. “The criminal justice system was strategically employed to force African Americans back into a system of extreme repression and control, a tactic that would continue to prove successful for generations to come.”
States put prisoners to work through a practice called “convict-leasing,” whereby white planters and industrialists “leased” prisoners to work for them. States and private businesses made money doing this, but prisoners didn’t. This meant many Black prisoners found themselves living and working on plantations against their will and for no pay decades after the Civil War.

Was this slavery by another name? Armstrong argues that the 13th Amendment makes an exception for “involuntary servitude,” not “slavery,” and that there are important historical and legal distinctions between the two. However, she says no court has formally dealt with this distinction, and many courts have used to two terms interchangeably. In 1871, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that a convicted person was “a slave of the State.”

Like chattel slavery before it, convict-leasing was brutal and inhumane. Across the country, “tens of thousands of people, overwhelmingly Black, were leased by the state to plantation owners, privately owned railroad yards, coal mines and road-building chain gangs and made to work under the whip from dawn till dusk—often as punishment for petty crimes such as vagrancy or theft,” reports The Washington Post.
Many prisoners died in these conditions. In July 2018, researcher Reginald Moore announced he’d found the remains of 95 Black prisoners who’d died working in Sugar Land, Texas in the early 20th century. Experts estimate their ages ranged from 14 to 70, meaning some would’ve been born into pre-Civil War slavery, freed, incarcerated and then forced into unpaid labor again. More than 3,500 prisoners died in Texas between 1866 and 1912, the year Texas outlawed convict-leasing because the death toll was so high.

States also benefited and profited off of prison labor by forcing chain gangs to build roads and creating prison farms to grow crops like sugar and snap peas. Today, states and private companies still rely on prisoners performing free or extremely low-paid labor for them. For example, California saves up to $100 million a year, according to state corrections spokesman Bill Sessa, by recruiting incarcerated people as volunteer firefighters.

“[States] would not be able to incarcerate as many people as they do without this, in effect, subsidy of the cost,” Armstrong says. “So it masks the true nature or the true cost of incarceration.”

Decades of prison and civil rights activism have sought to improve conditions and pay for incarcerated workers. In 1971, inmates at New York’s Attica Correctional Facility took control of the prison and issued a list of demands, including the right to join labor unions and earn a minimum wage. More recently, in the summer of 2018, prisoner laborers across the United States went on strike to protest what they called “modern-day slavery.”

In 2020, Congressional Democrats introduced a joint resolution to remove the "punishment" clause from the 13th Amendment. The resolution would need to be passed by a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress. Then, three-quarters of states would need to approve the change for it to become federal law.

"Then the only suspect I have is God himself."

Thank you, meaner gene.
Wish I had thought of that myself.
Of course it was God.
Who else?
As poster Schmidlap has cogently explained....more than once.....there had to be thousands involved in this huge fraud. Yet, none have confessed. Or been apprehended.

Therefore, it is God who put Joe Biden into the White House.
And kicked Don Trump out.

Amen. All praise be to him.
------------------------------------------------------------------

"they talked about 1619 fake history,"

What was fake about 1619?
It happened didn' it?
I don't remember it, but......but I'm pretty darn sure that 1619 was a real thing.
You don't?
----------------------------------------------------------------

".....you dummies will be erased from history as will I."

OK, that's probably true.
However, I'm sorta kinda suspecting there is a growing sentiment that you earned the window seat for the first launch.

Don't forget to drop us a postcard. Even a text.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have excellent common sense and I can connect the dots

Well, that's a bazinga!!
A done deal.
Common sense found all that fraud.
But, to date, common sense has decided to not reveal it.

In fact, there is an argument to be made that the poster's 'common sense' itself....... hasn't been revealed either.

A lot of keeping secrets around here. It seems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This whole thread was kind of entertaining to read through (actually I scanned through. It got a tad repetitive, you know.)
It reminded me of that thread about the gal insurrectionist who jumped through a busted door after being warned not to by the police aiming guns at her.
THAT chatroom brouhaha went on and on forever. With more than its' share of Bizzarro Desk nutjobbery. Which, now that I think about it, really does reminds me of this thread.

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. Only those with higher IQ's understands why Trump's pissed.
2. If your a moron, just go back to sleep.
3. Massive Fraud isn't American.

Actually, it doesn't make me feel good at all. You see, I sized Trump up as a liar early on. It wasn't even hard to verify the lies either because facts are a matter of public record, and the Internet makes searches virtually effortless. You just have to be able to discern between reliable and highly questionable sources, and even that's not really all that difficult to do.

Yeah, it's not a good feeling to know that millions of people can be so easily hoodwinked, especially by someone who is so transparently dishonest and maybe perhaps not mentally well.

You see, I've known of other liars, unlike Trump, who came off as sincere and believable. Bernie Madoff comes to mind since he defrauded so many people out of billions of dollars. After all, you would have to assume that most people would be extra attentive and cautious when it comes to their life savings. Even so, they got cheated just the same.

Joe Nacchio is another name that comes to mind. He took over my former employer's company in the late 1990's when I had investments there, including a big 401k. I had a bad feeling about him almost from the beginning, but very few people took my warnings seriously. Again, I was right. And thankfully, I moved the money out that I could before the stock value went down to around $1 a share from a high that was somewhere around 40 something, if I remember correctly.

Yes, investors have learned the hard way over the years from smooth talking con men like Bernie Ebbers of MCI WorldCom and Ken Lay of Enron fame.

Then there's all the so-called religious leaders who fleece their flocks while living like Kings. I won't even bother to name any of them here.

But who could forget what Jim Jones, formerly from SF, did when he was in Guyana and led over 900 people to suicide or forced suicide before he took his own life by shooting himself in the head back in 1978.

How about Marshall Applewhite of Heavens Gate fame back in 1997. I won't even get into it. I'll just post a link about him.

You might ask why I even bring him up. The answer is simple. It's because as crazy as he and his theories were, he had FOLLOWERS, and they followed him...to their deaths.

This is one of the problems with the world today, if not at any time in history, because many human beings are susceptible to the advances of charismatic con men who promise some kind of special inclusion even as they separate them from their families and friends.

What's different about Trump is that he's perpetuating his fraud in the political world as opposed to the world of faith or finance. But it is fraud none the less, and he will willingly burn down America in the furtherance of his fraud. I just don't want that to happen.

As a salesman, Trump has had decades of creating his own reality in the minds of others. He may be the very first person he cons.
It would be interesting to know whether or not he could pass a polygraph test while saying these things.

I agree completely. This isn't just a dishonest huckster. I don't know if there is a word for it, but he will say absolutely anything in the moment that he feels will help him, and appears to absolutely believe it the moment it leaves his mouth.

As fascinating as that is, what's more fascinating is that this quality appears to have transferred to his flock. They're not kidding. They're serious. I say it all the time: This is a true group pathology, the likes of which this world hasn't seen in 85 years.
