That's right.

 

[Old_Slapper]

If Trump did WHAT? My post was about the largest-ever caravan that happened WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT, and about the tariffs that failed the first time around when foreign countries called hi bluff by imposing dollar-for-dollar retaliation.
Did you not catch the news back then?

We all caught the news back then. I guess you also caught the news about how well funded that caravan was.

A Trump pardon that was "rigged"? Can you explain a "rigged pardon"? I really have NO clue what that could even mean.
The right has complained about Biden's pardon, while never saying a negative word about Trump's. That's hypocrisy.
Can you show me how it ISN'T hypocrisy?

I meant to say conviction that was rigged. The judge was a huge democrat supporter.

There were also many people on the right that complained about Trumps actions. I am willing to point out bad actions by Trump. Are you able to do the same towards Kamala?

Trump was convicted 29 may 2024. Here is the verdict sheet, if you would like to read it: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24706406-trump-verdict-sheet/

You are so predictable.
I really wish you would actually do your homework on this case. You will see just how flawed it is, but then again, as a liberal tool, you will not notice how deep this judge is in democrat party. He donated thousands to the democrat party. He also sends topless photos, of himself, to advertise in high school fundraising pamphlets. Ya, this will be overturned.

Trump did his best to stack the courts the last time around, and is trying to prevent the current administration from doing their own stacking before January.
Or, do you think he just wants to put more liberal judges in chairs when he gets in, but wants them to be HIS liberal judges, so they can reinstate Roe v Wade?

You said that, but where is your proof? Where did he say he was going to stack the courts?

After Trump assigned more republicans into the supreme court, the dems were the ones playing with the idea of stacking the court to gain control of it. Look it up!

You know...
I was sitting here going over all the arguments we have had with Rob. We are just repeating ourselves. He will never admit that the left is crooked, and he will always believe the right is nothing but bad. Here I thought he was the unintelligent one, but it is us that keeps arguing with him. He will NEVER admit he's wrong. Women leave their men for a reason. Some reasons are more clear than others.

Oh I realized his game plan some time ago. I even called him out on it several times. He hates the right, Republicans, Conservatives and most of all, Trump. He demands proof and facts and if you decide to give him that proof and those facts he will counter with they are wrong, we are wrong or 10 pages of misdirection. He will not tell us what he would do definitively because if he did he thinks we will counter him the same way he does all of us. Even if someone partially agrees with him he will find a way to still put them down. Like I said... he has done this on several other forums, been banned and he moves to the next one. He seems comfortable here. As I said before... it keeps him from doin' the 187.

He can't even admit the left has made bad choices and doesn't have any faults.

He's typing some stupid thing right now.

It's because historically the left has done better with the economy since 1947 blah blah blah...

A person should only be making minimum when first entering the workforce to gain a track record they can use to move up...it was never intended for individuals to stay in minimum wage jobs...

Except we have 42 MILLION people making less than a living wage.
That means 42 MILLION people that you think should move up within a year or two of entering the workforce.

Can you demonstrate the availability of 42 MILLION jobs on any given day for these people to move into?
Even if we assume only 25% "turnover" per year, that's 10 MILLION higher-paid openings for these workers to move into, as they are too old for a job with pay that they can't even live on.

That's a dog whistle as minimum wage rises so do the cost of goods. Leaving the minimum wage earner no closer to the "living wage". The only ones that benefit from the so called "living wage" is the ones collecting the taxes...

You are conflating minimum wage with living wage.
A living wage is determined by what a full-time worker would have to earn to live in a given area without going into debt just to pay their daily bills.

We all caught the news back then. I guess you also caught the news about how well funded that caravan was.

I'll assume Biden funded it?

I meant to say conviction that was rigged. The judge was a huge democrat supporter.

Ohhh, the CONVICTION was rigged. So none of the evidence was legitimate, Trump never overestimated the value of his properties, the properties were all worth what he claimed, he paid the taxes based on the claimed values, the jury was made up of all anti-Trumpers (even though they were picked by Trump's attorneys)?

Just one big scam, yet no one has shown the proof of this to the courts and had the decision overturned?
Sounds like the whole "stolen election" story. Claims, but no proof.

There were also many people on the right that complained about Trumps actions. I am willing to point out bad actions by Trump. Are you able to do the same towards Kamala?

Sure. Which ones would you like me to point out?
Pick the most egregious.

You are so predictable.

THOUSANDS? Holy crap! I guess you forgot about Judge Thomas's many years of trips paid for by a GOP donor, that he "forgot" to declare? I guess you forgot about Ginny Thomas's ties to First Liberty Institute and the failure of her and Clarence to keep their business dealings separated? I guess you forgot about the Wisconsin judges who RECEIVED upwards of $150,000 in donations FROM the GOP?
You're upset becaus a judge donates TO a party, but not when a judge gets money FROM a party?

Are you suggesting that judges should not be allowed to vote or have a poiltical leaning?

You said that, but where is your proof? Where did he say he was going to stack the courts?
After Trump assigned more republicans into the supreme court, the dems were the ones playing with the idea of stacking the court to gain control of it. Look it up!

"Assigned more republicans". Do you not understand this is in order to have a right-leaning court? As in "stacking", so that it's not a bipartisan court?

Hold the line for WHAT? For Trump to appoint left-leaning judges whenever there is an opening?
Do you think that is the case, or "hold the line" so that any opening can be filled by a right-leaning appointment?
I can only hope you're pretending to be naive, and are not really that clueless.

It's because historically the left has done better with the economy since 1947 blah blah blah...

No no, that's all bullshit. H
istory has been faked since 1947 in order to make Trump out to be a liar.
The Annunaki traveled through time in pyramids and changed all the records. They were paid by Soros with bitcoin through his deep state dark web contacts.
They bought gold with the bitcoin and brought it back with them and buried it in order to enslave humans and make them mine for the gold.

but yet we are at an all-time high with homeless and people in poverty.

See, there you go again. Are you going to claim again that I made that statement? The statement highlighted in bold font. Are you saying I made that statement?

DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION!!! ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!

 

[spokey9 5,000+ posts]

Can you demonstrate the availability of 42 MILLION jobs on any given day for these people to move into?

Well that's why tariffs on China ain't a bad thing

But raising minimum wage won't move them up because basic expenses will rise at the same rate...so the only ones that actually benefit are the ones collecting taxes

**** man, it's been two years and you'd still argue that bones do not have nerves in them, if I brought it up again.

And it looks like you are violating forum rules again with your attempts at sharing info you think you are finding in an attempt to dox me.
I thought your were mister law and order when it came to forum rules?
Yet more of your hypocritical "rules for thee, but not for me". Such a stereotype, you are.

Should it get reported so the mods can kill the thread or maybe give you a vacation?

DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION!!! ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!

Every time I screenshot your posts about how the numbers are "manipulated", you call me a liar.
If you don't believe screenshots of your OWN posts, what the hell WOULD you believe?
It's really easy to avoid the truth when your life is "alternative facts".

Like your "alternative" use of the word "in" that tells you that there are no wires "in" your sub box, no pipes "in" your walls, no blood "in" your veins, no cars "in" the Lincoln Tunnel at rush hour, no pith "in" a tree trunk, no water "in" the pipes that aren't "in" your walls, no nerves "in" bones.

When you simply make up any shit you can think of to support your argument, anything is possible.
For example, I have an amplifier in a Sucrets tin, powered by 4 watch batteries, and it drives my four 15" Skars to 150dB.
You see, my "alternative definitions" of words make that claim the truth.

Well that's why tariffs on China ain't a bad thing

But raising minimum wage won't move them up because basic expenses will rise at the same rate...so the only ones that actually benefit are the ones collecting taxes

Tariffs that get paid by the US consumer, meaning their hourly wage is effectively reduced.
THAT will teach China a lesson!

Yes, plenty of proof has been presented, but it was thrown out. Do your research with your eyes open.

Sure. Which ones would you like me to point out?

I asked you to name one. Why are you trying to avoid it? Are you scared you might make your democrat gods mad?

WOW... you preform precise searches for a republican, but not a democrat? Again, you proven to be a huge tool. And again, you dismissed the bad acts of a democrat. By tossing in the acts of a republican. Guess what, those are all pure accusations towards Thomas. No proof has been given.

Are you suggesting that judges should not be allowed to vote or have a poiltical leaning?

I said nothing about judges voting. However, the liberal judges are not afraid to show what side they are on.

"Assigned more republicans". Do you not understand this is in order to have a right-leaning court? As in "stacking", so that it's not a bipartisan court?

Do YOU know what stacking the court is? In case you don't, it's adding more than 9 judges to the court. The libs have talked about doing it since the republican appointed judges became the majority.

Hold the line for Trump to take office so no more puppet libs. Or maybe we should all more libs to get in the supreme court so they can continue to prosecute those who speak against the dems.

Hydroponic tomato. Mexico. Pretty much flavorless.
If we can do it better, why aren't we?

Yes, plenty of proof has been presented, but it was thrown out. Do your research with your eyes open.

Empty claims are not proof.
Even Trump himself couldn't provide a shred of proof under a court order.

I asked you to name one. Why are you trying to avoid it? Are you scared you might make your democrat gods mad?

You want me to name a thing Kamala did that makes me upset? OK: She went too easy on Trump int he debate. She should have ripped him to shreds like a piranha, using everything bad about him AGAINST him.
Every tome he lied, she should have just shouted "liar" over his voice, the way he felt a need to talk over her.
She shoukd have campaigned 3x as hard as she did.

Good?
OK, now get off your chest what you want to say you disliked that she did.

WOW... you preform precise searches for a republican, but not a democrat? Again, you proven to be a huge tool. And again, you dismissed the bad acts of a democrat. By tossing in the acts of a republican. Guess what, those are all pure accusations towards Thomas. No proof has been given.

WOW, you perform searched for a Republican, but not a Dmeocrat? What a tool!
Here's how it goes, old-timer: If you want to live in a glass house, don't be a fool and throw stones.
If you're gonna ***** about a judge donating TO the Democrat party, be REALLY ******* sure that other judges aren't getting donations FROM the Republican party.
Don't be a hypocrite.

"Pure accusations"? You're joking, right? Put down the KoolAid for two seconds, and watch this:

I said nothing about judges voting. However, the liberal judges are not afraid to show what side they are on.

If ytou think a judge shouldn't donate to a party, then you think a judge shouldn't support a party. Voting for a member in a party is supporting a party.
So if judges shouldn't support a party, they shouldn't vote.

But you're comfortable with judges getting donations FROM a party. Right?

Do YOU know what stacking the court is? In case you don't, it's adding more than 9 judges to the court. The libs have talked about doing it since the republican appointed judges became the majority.

PACKING the court is adding judges to tilt the total in one's favor.
Stacking the court is making it partisan in one's favor so that the majority will rule as you want them to. Roe v wade was an example of a stacked court giving a decision the minority has wanted for years.
Two VERY different concepts.

Hold the line for Trump to take office so no more puppet libs. Or maybe we should all more libs to get in the supreme court so they can continue to prosecute those who speak against the dems.

Ahhhh, some honesty, "No more puppet libs".
Instead we get "puppet conservatives".
Which is good and fair in order to get majority rulings in SCOTUS, but "puppet libs" getting majority rulings in SCOTUS are bad and unfair.
Right?
Be careful, your hypocrisy is showing.

For someone who can't even admit who actually pays an import tariff, you sure make a lot of bullshit claims about what I do or don't do here.

Tariffs get paid by US importers. Consumers aren't importers. Go back to school.

**** man, it's been two years and you'd still argue that bones do not have nerves in them, if I brought it up again.

**** man, you are the one who keeps trying to bring it up in conversation trying to bait me.

And it looks like you are violating forum rules again with your attempts at sharing info you think you are finding in an attempt to dox me.
I thought your were mister law and order when it came to forum rules?
Yet more of your hypocritical "rules for thee, but not for me". Such a stereotype, you are.

I made a true statement about what you have indeed done. I have given no other information so go cry in the corner.

Should it get reported so the mods can kill the thread or maybe give you a vacation?

Have at it.

Every time I screenshot your posts about how the numbers are "manipulated", you call me a liar.
If you don't believe screenshots of your OWN posts, what the hell WOULD you believe?
It's really easy to avoid the truth when your life is "alternative facts".

Yes, you are a liar. I said the numbers could be manipulated. Do you not distinguish between the words could and are?

Like your "alternative" use of the word "in" that tells you that there are no wires "in" your sub box, no pipes "in" your walls, no blood "in" your veins, no cars "in" the Lincoln Tunnel at rush hour, no pith "in" a tree trunk, no water "in" the pipes that aren't "in" your walls, no nerves "in" bones.

Oh look... here you go again with your nerves baiting again. You do this lashing out thing every time I trigger you. Have you no control over your emotions?

When you simply make up any shit you can think of to support your argument, anything is possible.
For example, I have an amplifier in a Sucrets tin, powered by 4 watch batteries, and it drives my four 15" Skars to 150dB.
You see, my "alternative definitions" of words make that claim the truth.

You used the Sucrets amp already like a few days back kid.

Tariffs that get paid by the US consumer, meaning their hourly wage is effectively reduced.
THAT will teach China a lesson!

Incorrect. As I stated above, go back to school. Tariffs are paid by the importers. They can eat some of the cost, add some of the cost to the product being sold or they can demand the supplier lower the price of the product. The only thing the consumer is doing is possibly paying a higher price. Prices go up and down all the time and this would be no different.
