Damn, you ARE dim-witted when it comes to reading.

"I dunno" is another way to say "I don't know", which is an answer to your question.
I expected that you would have an answer, since you asked it.

Were you actually hoping I'd have the answer because you DON'T know?

So, you wish to not give your personal opinion? I thought you only followed whatever the courts say. The courts say they are innocent. Are you saying you don't always agree with the courts?

"Personal opinion" on factual information?
Seriously; you can't possibly be that thick.

What is your personal opinion of standard air pressure being 14.7 psi?

Hang on a second. So hypothetically, one could say the SOTUS decision to over turn Roe v Wade was faulty. Does that mean potentially other court findings could be faulty.... like the EJC vs Trump? Seems like a possibility.

This moron does not know how to obtain a birth certificate?

But he's fit to sit in the Senate. And if it's so impossible to retrieve Birth Certificates, then why would we want that same gov't in charge of anything, let alone in charge of the entire economy (ie socialism)? Do these morons even think before they speak?

Typical lib who throws a bunch of worthless words to distract from the actual conversation. It's totally obvious that you will not accept that you are wrong. Instead, you just want to do your normal anger crying and throw insults. Your just so pathetic.

Rob has never wrong - by definition. Why do you think he's know as "Always Right Rob"?

Fine, let's say Trump is guilty of all those things. He's still a better president than what your side has to offer.

Do you have a problem with people who are brain dead (is Which Way Do I Go Joe?) or also brain dead (Word Salad Kamala)?

Some Glocks have had a problem with misfiring. That is a fact and a reason I do not, and will not, own one. Many people have asked that gun to be pulled.

Again, the Right is not supporting this guy. They are only speaking against the left media who is trying to stretch the story and flip it. You should know all about that.

I love how the media tried to stretch that into something it wasn't. Pretty crappy, but the lamestream media is the main vector for the disease known as TDS.

Hmmmm, FOUR points below the national average.
It seems we have some other states we need to look REALLY hard at, to find out why their numbers are so high. Maybe Minnesota can teach them how to get THEIR numbers down, while our continue to drop, huh?

Medicaid Fraud Control Units Annual Report: Fiscal Year 2024

oig.hhs.gov

You do know you cited the payment error rate vs the fraud rate.

And the link doesn't support the cited stat. WTF????

CBS is just pissed that Trump is funnier than the actual comedians they pay to belch out the narrative.

NEW FLASH - It didn't say "the right-wing media". If you can't comprehend what is posted, maybe you should avoid commenting on it.

So, you are talking about the MAGA people who are wacked out? You think they actually speak for the majority of the MAGA people? That's like me saying "You believe it's okay to march ***** in front of children" because there are liberals marching around ***** in front of children.

You're either being intentionally obtuse, or you have no clue about the real world outside of your basement.
"Guns don't just shoot by themselves" is a central tenet of the pro-gun argument, and has been expressed probably thousands of times, ESPECIALLY when gun control comes into the forefront of the news. It falls right in line with the "guns don't kill people; people kill people" phraseology.

Have you ever heard THAT one before? Do you know anything about guns, or the pro-gun/anti-gun debate?

Show me a credible source that states guns don't go off on their own. You are probably taking a quote from a small group that is not considered as a credible source. Again, you can't take on person's word and project it onto a vast group of people.

So a drunk guy wants to show off his gun to his daughter he was arguing with, points it AT HIS DAUGHTER who he was just arguing with, and accidentally pulls the trigger, killing the daughter he was just arguing with.
You just made the strongest argument for gun control one could imagine.
Wow.

If you talk to any credible pro-gun person, they will tell you that this guy is an idiot. He's drunk while handling a loaded gun. You should really take some time to find out what people really think about this matter, rather than finding some stupid statement to spark your selfish and ignorant argument.

Almost every gun ever made has had a problem misfiring. Glock has sold probably 24 million guns, with accidental discharges numbering less than 1,000.
What magical gun do you own that has a perfect record?

Almost every gun? Hmmm. I call BS on that, unless you can show facts on that. I'm guessing you're the one who is not very educated with guns.

You supported him multiple times in this post alone.

Not once did I defend him from being stupid. You talk as though he purposely killed her.

I thought you only go by what the courts say. Are you saying there are flawed court prosecutions?

That sounds an awful lot like the excuse the right-wingers immediately made up for the shooting of Alex Pretti: "His gun is known to discharge by itself, and went off while sitting on the driver's seat of a police vehicle, so they had to shoot Alex in the head".

Again, the court said it was an accidental discharge. Are you going against the courts? Are you saying the courts can be bias against certain political parties?

Gee, if that is true, I wonder if the courts were swayed in the Trump hearings.

The same people who argue that guns do not just go off.
Convenient.

More like you being part of the same people who will only agree to court hearings when they support their argument. We all know how convenient you find that.

Rob,
This is what the Republicans are saying about the Epstein files. Now that they have been released, we are demanding actions. I don't see the liberals saying the same.

 

[Old_Slapper]

None. Which is why I have no right to tell a woman what she should or should not do with her body.
Will you be OK with it when a woman decides what you can or cannot do with your body?

Maybe you get a benign tumor on your face, and women decide you should not get the surgery.
You good with that?
How about prostate cancer, but they decide it's not worth the money to extend your life by 5 years?
Cool?

So, it's not ok to tell a woman she's not allowed to get an abortion, because it's her body, but it's ok to force a woman to get a COVID shot? What happened to "My body, my choice?" Does it only apply when the left decides it does?

 

[Old_Slapper]

So it WAS too complicated for you. What pays for welfare programs? Taxes?
Who collects taxes? The government. When more taxes are collected than spent, what happens? Surplus.

The Fed gov't gets surplus taxes from California that are disbursed to states other than California. That makes California a "donor state".

Any state that gets back more than it gives is a "taker state" or a "welfare state".
FFS, it's really NOT that difficult.
Did you ever learn about finances, economics, or even simple budgeting in school, or were you out sick those years?


It goes to the taker states that can't self-sustain. Do you want to see the list again?

"Spends more money on new programs". TF are you babbling about?
You can't sustain a budget if you spend money?
If you don't spend money, then a budget isn't even a necessity.

Did you have a liquid lunch and dinner today, or something?


What did I describe as a "proper budget"? Can you quote it so I know what TF you are talking about?

The same non-argument from a typical right-winger who HAS no argument to offer.
Why not just post MAGA! and a stupidazz picture of the Orange Idiot a dozen times? It would be as strong an argument as anything you've posted so far.

Done.

This was in July 2025. More recently, polls show 60% of the country views Trump unfavorably.
Probably not what you were hoping to prove, I bet.

The second Google result has nothing to do with the massive exodus of business that you referenced.
Can you try to stay focused and remember your own posts, for at least a post or two?

Where does this prove the massive exodus of businesses you described?
What does it have to do with the fact that California gets back less from the Feds than it gives to the Feds each year, on the order of $275.4 Billion dollars? $275.4 BILLION dollars that funds the red taker states who can't self-sustain without money from all the donor states?

Huh?

I just realized something. You are too ignorant to understand Californias income. I believe your lack of understanding California budget is due to you not living here. Let me school you on California's "Greatest Economy."

California's main source of income is from taxes. As you know we are the highest taxed in the country. Our income tax is 16%. The state gets $0.80 per gallon of gas and there are more drivers in California than any other state. In other words, California taxes it's people so much that it has allowed California to have the highest income in the nation. So, you're saying it's okay to have so many people on government assistance because people pay enough taxes to support it?

Every time the liberals come up with a new scam to help illegals, they find some way to raise the taxes. CA sales tax is 7.75% which brings most of the cities charging over 9%. With a 8.8% tax in Duluth, and a 6.8% for MN, you don't feel the pain as much. What's your income tax, about 6%. Ours is 13.3%. Let that soak in for a minute. On top of all of this, Newsom is pushing for a mileage tax on all of our vehicles.

Interesting, coming from people who voted for and idolize a 34x convicted felon, r@pist, racist, tax cheat, pathological liar, se*xual predator.

Trump is an idiot. I don't know how many times I have to say that, so show I do not idolize the person. I only support him because he's much better than any of the other candidates. Much better than the democrats, who believe they should protect illegal immigrants before Americans.

Any official who doesn't support the rights of ALL people on our soil should be removed from office.
Trump is one of them.

I know this will bother you (and there's at least one moron here who doesn't even believe it), but the COTUS protects the rights of all people in our country, whether they are legal or not.

A politician should not believe in the selective application of laws.
Or do you think they should? Should friends of Trump be allowed to break the law, while non-friends get prosecuted for the same infraction?
Is that what Dear Leader should be allowed to do?

So as not to be the dip shit hypocrite we all know you to be... you will be respecting the rights of any and all persons on your property or in your house no matter if they broke the laws to get in there. You are a stand up kind of guy.

Seriously; you can't possibly be that thick.

You are literally telling everyone that because you only speak to what you call facts and offer no opinions or thought of your own on any matter, that you are incapable of doing so. This is literally all you got.
