Election Temperature

9% with an asterisk. If I suck at math then you swallow all Democratic bullshit. I provide a source on his networth and you provide nothing but a hunch. Saying to me you don't care what he is worth but say nothing to your comrades who brought it up to begin with

Watched this video, and saw some of the "smarter" ppl wearing masks and costumes to hide their identity.
I wonder if there were any military or off-duty police and court system employees in attendance.

There was in fact one Black woman in the crowd.
Maybe she's not "Black", but she's like O.J.?

Income levels and self-perceived entitlements make ppl do strange things.

Houston, let's assume for one minute there is a mass conspiracy for some new world order that is currently being worked on in the background as you say. What would happen?

I don't really care where the R&D, banking, or manufacturing take place if the entire world prospers and benefits from such efforts.

I have no issue with the world becoming one intertwined globe, with all humans working together to better it. The old shit of "us vs. them" will eventually disappear as we become more dependent on each other.

Perhaps we become more compassionate to each other, and maybe for once, we do what religion has taught us.

If that is the outcome of your conspiracy, then I am willing to try it.

@Moe , the great reset has been said over and over by Biden and AOC , This is nothing new . I do believe the Americas will become a continent of R&D and Service industries . Europe banking and Asia MFG. You talk of coal I believe coal is still the most used energy in the world ( China ) The term New World Order is the way all this breaks down. The Green New Deal is a big part of the Great Reset . I used to have a friend from China who sold centrifugal pumps to the O&G industry . I used to ask him “ Do you ever think US and China will go to war . He would laugh and say we are in a currency war . Every time you print more money we have do work harder to sustain. Their workers have it bad.

Billionaires don't pay $750 in taxes, when they pay taxes.

A 9% difference is huge.

Don't try to do math or statistics.

You suck at it.

"Forbes had his networth at 2.1 billion."

I can't believe that we are still having this discussion.

I think it is well established that Trump lies like other people breathe.

So we don't really know how much money he has. Nor do I care...

He is not any less of a traitor because he has money...

81 with an asterisk. Wow such a huuuuge difference. You should know that. If you fixed me 2 large fries and 1 had 81 and the other 74 would you see the difference. Lol

You have to give Trump credit for one thing. He avoided war. The Israelis were pushing him to go to war to Iran for them, and he circumvented that.

He pulled troops out of Afghanistan and limited any military escalations in Syria. War was just not his thing, which is a plus we have to give him.

April 2020....Forbes had his networth at 2.1 billion. He had lost 1 billion before that. What is your source. States and cities have a plenty of authority in handling riots and civil unrest and Corona virus. Most big cities are Democrat controlled.

The quicker you realize Trump is NOT a billionaire, the quicker you'll see some the 30k lies he told and typed on Facebook and Twitter.

Trump killed 4 civilians and one police officer this week.

The civilians ran over by cars, shot while jogging, shot in Kenosha, lost eyes, paralyzed or maimed during these protests and counter-protests.....

Protesters, rioters and terrorists who lost jobs after being ID'd by employers.... Trump's fault.

Businesses destroyed by protests, riots and lack of Covid-19 planning...

The Karens causing scenes... fueled by Trump's Madness.

America hasn't seen civil unrest like this in 50+ yrs. The past 4 years were NOT normal.

Thanks Donald Trump For Making America Great Again!

Tbrmskss.........its 50/50. Surely a statistical analysis guru can see that.

You're a minority and don't want to be treated differently.

We got it.

Fancy that...

74 million people is the most votes an incumbent President has ever received. I may be wrong but that is what I read. Second swing states are just what they are. They can vote one way and then another. Georgia is not really surprising if you are familiar with the state and its people. Far as Trump's worth I would like to know your source. I know he has lost money while being President but I am sure he is a billionaire without being made rich because of politics. We can set here and point fingers about each others party forever. I think we should all be concerned at how divided we all are. I personally want whoever the President is to be very successful because that means the country as a whole is. I will say Obama did something's that were good for us all and things I didn't think were so good. I will say also I didn't vote for Obama his first term but I did his second. I can also say I have voted for either party at times. This is the first election I voted all red. Hopefully our leaders will find common ground and get this country to some kinda normalcy. I hope we can agree on that. Its been a bad year, to many people have died and I think really depressed with all going on

V P MICHAEL PENCE and 30 PIECES OF SILVER.
V P Michael Pence is another JUDAS. How many pieces of SILVER did MICHAEL PENCE get to purger himself against President TRUMP.
JUDAS 2,000 years ago perjured himself against Jesus Christ.
This week V P MICHAEL PENCE perjured himself against President TRUMP and the AMERICAN PEOPLE for how many pieces of SILVER?
PENCE will go down is history as the one man who destroyed THE AMERICAN CULTURE.

Sapp,

You're right. Trump attempted to bill himself as the Billionaire Next Door.
The "aww, shucks" stuff didn't work for Sarah Palin and it wasn't going to work for him.

First of all, he's not a billionaire and is VERY CASH POOR. You can't tell your voters you're really, really rich, and then beg them for money for lawsuits and attorney fees to challenge an election.

He has a brand, a name that he leases to companies and buildings.

You guys were conned for 4 yrs and the country will feel the residual result for at least a decade.

" I doubt 74m people will just go away and bow so you can have piece of mind. That is laughable."

First of all, they lost by like 9 million votes.

Second of all, they will not all come out to vote in 2024.

Thirdly, they will probably lose again in 2024 because of the fire they created in the belly of the Democratic 2020 voters. The evidence is Georgia's run-off election.

Think about that... Trump caused Arizona, Georgia, PA and a few swing states to go Blue.

Trump is a failed businessman, "reality" TV show host that had no business in the White House.
At most, his "fame" should have gained him a mayor title in a small town.

Capitalism also rewards people willing to screw over others to make a buck. It exalts self interest or selfishness into its first commandment. It does not reward kindness, compassion, charity, service to others unless there is a profit involved.

Capitalism is the antithesis of the ethos of Jesus in my view. Christianity says: abridge ourselves of our superfluities for the supply of others necessities. It’s more about sharing bread than making a lot of money selling bread.

John Winthrop warned at the end of his “Model of Christian Charity” sermon that Reagan loved to quote from for its “city on a hill” line that “God will break out in wrath against us if we pursue our pleasures and profits.”

Winthrop was more Marxist than Capitalist, and he was one of the founders and leaders of the Puritan community in early 17th century America.

Houston. These are far fetched conspiracy theories.

JC555,

My own critique of the concept of whites privilege, as many people who write about it point out, is that such privilege is always part of whiteness, but a white persons privileges can be either more or less depending on their social class, their gender, they sexual orientation, even their body type or attractiveness

Tall, fit or not fat white men have an advantage over short, heavy set men it appears. 93% of Fortune 500 CEOs are white and male and 2 inches taller in average height than the full pool of white males and are on the fit or thinner side in body shape.

Upper class status gives privileges over lower class. Straight has an advantage over gay.

Some people are born on third base, others on first, and some are born having a difficult chance to make the team or get an at bat.

Thanks to my class status and whiteness, I feel I was born in second base. I had two college educated parents. It can be more if a challenge to be a first generation student in college. A child of upper class, college educated African American parents has some more advantages, I’d say, than a child of white working class parents with no college education.

But when it comes to facing a police man in a traffic stop at night, I’d certainly prefer to be a white person of any class than an African American of any class.

But these are generalizations, not absolute truths.

We all get prejudged very quickly. Consider how long it takes someone to swipe right on a dating site.

In worlds outside of dating sites and dating, it’s wise to take more time than a quick look to judge someone, and some people even read profiles on a dating site.

White people have a range of advantages or privileges I’ve felt. That privilege is no fallacy to me. Prager, like Trump, is appealing to racism or his beliefs about what book a white person would buy in this time and era when so many who’re people have an animus or contempt towards political correctness.

Some people like getting off on being political incorrect as a sign of their freedom and individualism and contempt for people looking down on them for being politically incorrect.

Trump loved being politically incorrect and many love him for that. He’s an elite who pretends he’s not elite. He can do that easily because he’s great at being dumb and contemptuous of those who know history. He can make claims that he had the best first term of any president in history because he does not expect people to know the history to challenge him on that stuff.

Obama had to prove he’s very intelligent. Trump had to show people he was not in spirit a preppy person from an elite education He was very successful in showing sone of us how moronic and foolish and ignorant he could be. Others I guess were impressed by his wealth and could help make them rich. Trump College was a con, a fraud of a college. The writers for The Apprentice made him look savvy and smart as a business man. He inherited millions and millions from his father. He was born on third base.

Dennis Prager is a right wing culture warrior that my Trumpian friends listen to.

@Moe , what you don’t get is this is not through attrition or growth it is planned the New World Order or the great Reset . You see we have been at war with China for 12 years and it can’t continue . It is a currency war this is creating slavery in China. Originally under Clinton we were going to use the Mcquiladoras against China ....China is a communist country so they own that Robot that makes that part for Ford . When Ford went to Mexico they owned the Robot ..not Mexico. But the CCP is just over 40 families 8 rulers they profit from all this . The people are dirt poor and work hard . Someday it will come that whatever you do a guy in China would make the same. China does not honor international business law IP to them means nothing.
Lots of companies are coming home , I knew the engineer that took JD small mowers and tractors to China .
He used to brag how he cut cost ...today JD mowers are back in the US . Nobody In the world works harder then America ...an example is project warp speed and this is because capitalism rewards hard work. Communism doesn’t.

SAP moves so much he must be running from the Cops. That's why he wants to defund the Cops. Stop chasing him.

Ps JC555,

My own judgment of MoeandKathy is that their posts are some of my very favorite to read as I appreciate their intelligence, their wisdom, and the style and voice of their posting.

I would hold back on calling someone uneducated just as I would hold back on saying someone has selective reading until you know more about them from what they say rather than what you assume.

There are also a wide variety of intelligences, and posters may have different types of intelligences, including emotional intelligence or the ability to fix things and make things work or a brilliance with data and numbers or erotic intelligence

I’ll keep looking for that Prager book and for reviews of it online.
