Oh I did. Show me the left going after the left.

Ok. So you just confirmed your lack of intellect.
You mentioned the "opposition" going after Trump. I referenced the "opposition" doing the same to Biden.
If Trump's "opposition" is the left, can you figure out who Biden's "opposition" might be?

There you go again being dramatic.
Who has Trump put in jail for opposing him. I'll wait.

So he's just lying about his desire/hopes/plans to do it?
Why waste the time talking about bullshit if it's just bullshit ?
Maybe spend the time working on a plan for the few things he'll actually do?

Clearly Trump was right about election interference... he won this one in a landslide.
Yeah, this is America. **** your feelings.

So they interfered with the vote to reduce the Democrat numbers? Interesting. Was it the Russians making bomb threats in left-leaning areas? Was it the huge increase in votes that Trump got from ballots that were otherwise blank?
Trump was stating the only possibility of a loss was of the system was rigged against him.
Interesting. How would he know the outcome beforehand?

How many videos are there of libs steeling Trump signs, setting Trump signs on fire or just generally being violent towards Trump supporters?

I'd bet a nickel they are fewer than the obverse.
Show me the stats and we can see who gets the nickel.

Here, deny this shit Rob:
"The CPI has risen almost 20% under Mr. Biden, but that doesn’t even include some major expenses for millions of Americans, like the cost of homeownership. The monthly mortgage payment on a median-price home has increased a stratospheric 115% on Mr. Biden’s watch.

And when the mortgage rates were pushed into the toilet due to Trumps recession, housing prices shot through the roof.
Your point?

Unfortunately, there’s no end in sight for “Bidenflation.”

Hmmm dropping steadily for two years, and about at the point Trump DOUBLED it to when he took office.
So Trump increased it to 2.3% and he is your savior. Biden reduces it to 2.6%, and he ruined your life.
Well I guess you'll be happy when Trump pushes it back up again.
Maybe he can double it again? Win!

The president and his big-spender allies in Congress have already added $6.9 trillion to the federal debt, and his Treasury Department recently announced that it expects to borrow almost $900 billion more in the third quarter of this year alone.

You mean Trump, right? Because debt as percentage if GDP had a MAJOR spike during his presidency, and has dropped under Biden.
Hopefully Trump won't repeat the spike he created last time he was in office, Right?

Worse yet, the White House is pushing for a $7.3 trillion budget next year—a level never seen before—and all that spending will mean more borrowing and more inflation. That’s particularly troubling since inflation has already begun re-accelerating in recent months". - Originally written by the Washington Times.

Well, Trump will make sure none of that money gets spent, and will reduce our debt to zero, probably in his first year. A
And gas will be a dollar a gallon, open heart surgery will cost a hundred dollars, and eggs will be so plentiful, retailers will pay you to take them home.

Illegal drug manufacturers, runners, dealers, will say "Thank you sir, for the cost-negative eggs and cheap gas. We no longer have to deal drugs to make 100x what we would make in a minimum-wage job." And all the addicts will be healed because there will be no fluoride in the water, all adderal users will be given legal heroin instead, and they will do great in school and get better jobs.

And cars! Wait untilk you see the flying cars Musk is going to make! They won't be electric, though. He is going to drop all that nonsense and start making coal-fired vehicles. In fact, we will go back to coal for ALL transportation.
The blimps that will have to replace airplanes will be YUUUUGGGGE. Simply the best.
And you will all applaud.

Why not comment on the war or what you think about stopping or doing more war? You just keep on and on about the same nothingness.

You mean like the endlessly boring and nonsensical stuff you post about the "killer" vaccine, or how AI is creating Terminators to take over the world?

It's meaningless; even if you are right, it doesn't change trump is president and nobody cares on top of that. Do you want trump to try to end the wars or do you wanna nuke Russia and/or Iran or China or what?

Would I prefer war didn't exist? Sure. But there IS no "stopping" war. People will always want more of everything, and what others have, and will always be in conflict to get it.
And on top of that, there will always be religion to tell people to war against other religions, or the non-believer.

That is the nature of life, and the nature of self-aware being who created religion in order to gain power.

If you think Trump is going to change the nature of life and human nature, then you drank WAY too much of the KoolAid.

1st part is dumb, you don't realize the significance.

I've already said I don't think trump can change anything, he's just gonna expose evil/how the system works as we go into insanity.

Does war technology not end with AI wiping out large portions of humans? Idk, I could see Israel just sending drone swarms to clear out parts of Gaza. Terminator tech is real, like SKYNET is literally very real and ran by British and US military. Cyberdyne is actually a real company too. Everything you see in the terminator movies are real military technology being developed for years and years, maybe outside of time travel. But you make fun of it when you can literally go onto sites like DARPA and see things like robot tech and satellite constellations connecting all war machines and cybernetics and machine based human telepathy and robot swarms and nanotech injections to hook you up to the internet like john Connor in terminator Genisys. All real tech, be blissfully ignorant if you like. Your taxpayer dollars fund it

WTF are you talking about? Clearly huge spike under Bush/Obama due to "Great Recession" and a spike due to Covid. Can we stop putting things that happened due to Covid on Trump and crediting things that should be credited to lifting the lockdown to Biden???

It's a start...they need to just outright break them up and pass legislation giving people ownership of personal info

The examples were from a list of 5,276 lies he told.

Now your list is over 24,000 lies lighter

Put them in a spreadsheet sorted by date to make sure there are no duplicates. The Lame Stream Media (Fox included) gets awfully petty, but this thing of inventing lies and then documenting each and everytime these "inaccuracies" were uttered is beyond petty.

I don't think Trump can get around the 14th. However, he can still threaten deportation of illegals (ie the parents) and possible separation, which would eliminate the problem of illegals coming here to give birth for citizenship rights. TBH, I'm pretty sure that's a small problem. I have a much bigger issue with anybody being able to claim asylum and stay here.

Lie databases or list are a joke...I'd never put stock in something like that since they'll always include personal judgement calls by the creator

Or as Rob demonstrated, they apply their own metric (ie biggest tax cut) to create a lie and then when Trump says "biggest tax cut" at all of his rallies, interviews, etc that becomes 500 lies. Foolishness.....

The vast majority of asylum seekers aren't seeking a safe place. They're country shopping and chose the US. You're supposed to stop at the first country that allows to be free of whatever you're fleeing if you're claiming asylum. That would've been mexico or Canada before the US would have been an option

If I was seeking asylum, the US would be high on my list too. My problem is a lot of these people lack identification and aren't seeking asylum. And if they're seeking freedom, economic opportunity, etc, I'm all for that. Let's find an organized way for them to become contributing members of society and someday citizens. My son's soccer coach is a legal immigrant, was legitimately fleeing a war and went thru all sorts of shit to become a citizen and now he's a contributing member of society. And he didn't get to stay in America while they sorted his shyt out. My mom's an immigrant, my wife's immigrant - there is a right way and wrong way to do it. BidenCo normalized/decriminalized the wrong way with terrible results.
