I'll leave it at that for now.
You don't believe China printed ballots that were triple counted?

DeepSight:
Courts have rules. Do you know the rules? Please just go and sit down. The truth is that so long as Trump doesn't win, you will complain.
This is why I cant take you and your ilk seriously. There simply is nothing that can be against Trump for you.

The very fact that ALL courts threw his claims out including Republican appointed judges, is enough to show you that he had absolutely no case.

For heavens sake his own Attorney General Bill Barr said there was no fraud.

Will you remember his recorded phone call asking the secretary of state in Georgia to rig him an extra eleven thousand votes? Nope. You will forget that one. Objective indeed.

But for you, when the man is in power, and he appoints those who are all his yes men, and the DOJ that is supposed to be independent starts repeating all his personal delusions, thats what is credible.


How is that a standard? ? ?

Pathetic.

No case moved to discovery..Every case was thrown out of technicalities. Each and every. Which means whatever evidence he had was never argued out
How's that.
Over 60 cases all thrown out
In Georgia where Ruby Freeman and daughter Moss are on tape double countiy,the case was set to .. Two days after January 6 and was declared moot. I'll revisit where the mother daughter couple are today in a few months.

DeepSight:
Nemo Judex.
Trump went to all the courts and his case was thrown out all the way including by Republican appointed judges.

He is a sick man who can't take a loss. You have been tainted by his illness.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 9:30am On May 12
Have you addressed the allegation that DOJ, FBI CIA etc are out to stop him by all means. If we can agree on that we can make progress .A seroous attempt to liberate your mind from the evil left .
When he lost suddenly New York changes the law.
A case is brought to a former senior litigation partner by a lawyer who was a junior in the same department albeit for 2 years.. Which former partner will let his junior from "another mother" lose his case.
After 2021 you have Alvin Bragg,Fani Willis , Jack Smith ,e Jean Carroll and impeachment 2 .Then you have 2 assassination attempts.
You still remember this year alone on Feb 22 some deranged guy was shot at Mar a Lago too.
Besides the guy at the WH Correspondents dinner.
Trump is better off than hypocrites who don't say what's in their minds.
Who doesn't know he is a braggard who says what he will do ,and does it. Every knows that.




DeepSightZ:
Is there any Jury that decides against Trump that you would not call biased? Look into your heart and answer that question sincerely. After all how many courts decided against Trump in the election matter and you still believe he won. Even when all Republican appointed judges decided against him?

This is enough to show there is nothing objective about you on these matters.

Aside from this case, anyone can list several instances of Trump's sexual misconduct off the top of their head. There are so many. And you know it.

Where to start will even be a problem. A man who himself said one of his pleasures about owning a pageant was that he could walk into the dressing rooms of the contestants. How many pros have his story and how many has he paid off? The fact that he has raped minors is cast in stone. No amount of grammar can wish it away. There is credible testimony.

Don't worry he will not be in power forever and all these laughable stories being cooked up by his laughable hires will end.

Have some self respect.

Democrats have not seen any unredacted files, certainly not the full six million pages. period. Stop lying. I have told you this before.
In other words 3 unreleased documents have Trump all over? I believe they have grotesque stuff that can't be released.
And what do Trumps divorces have to do with this.
Trump has a chequered past. In college he was known as the ladies man changing them every other week. Went on with his life.Owning a beauty pageant. High profile women whom he described would let themselves be grabbed by the P by a successful person. You know this is true today. That is if you are not a lord of poverty.

This man has lost a civil case for sexual assault and paid for it and yet you carry on. Go and sit down jaare.
I've shown how FBI covered up for Biden and by extension Democrats. Imagine FBI digging up your past. All their resources. They ended up with only claims of Jane Does whose stories didn't add up.

New York state assembly changed the law specifically for E Jean Carroll to file lawsuit whose statue of limitations had expired. She was sponsored by Trump hating Reid Hoffman and George Conway. The judge in the case mentored E Jean Carroll lawyer before he became judge. E Jean Carroll . Her case mirrored a 2012 TV drama of Law and Order.lLkke Lewinsky she kept the dress she wore , She changed the year of the alleged incident when it was discovered the particular dress had not been designed. She told Anderson Cooper on live TV in 2019 that rape was sexy , he abruptly cut off the show. She claimed she has never slept with any other man after the incident.Tell me who can forget the year they last had sex . A woman whose career was about relationships.
Judge himself called Trump a rapist despite the jury finding no evidence of rape but sexual violations. When Trump said she is not his type, the judge quickly rewarded her with millions of dollars using the biased jury verdict as the elephant in the room.
The New York law was signed in 2022 when efforts to jail , mudsling and bankrupt Trump were in high gear. Led by FBI and DOJ under Biden.

With Trump you take every accusation and stretch it to the limits.When it's democrats you happily ignore and dismiss any allegations as conspiracy theories.
Trump inquisitors are not just the media ,it's the intelligence community, CIA, FBI and big tech. Run by the same people who covered up Hunter Biden laptop and lied about it
FBI had the laptop in 2018 and had verified it's contents. At the sham impeachment,FBI said nothing. After 51 IC members said it was Russia disinformation, FBI said nothing. They produced the laptop in court however at hunter Biden trial.Two clear instancea that would have stopped the impeachment,and also affected the 2020 election.
E Jean Carroll lawyer had first joined the litigation dept headed by the same presiding judge in the case.No conflicts ?

I am sure you know I have no issues condemning such things where true. What made me shake my head is the fact that we both know you would close your eyes to similar things about trump.
Trump is twice divorced. A judge can accept or reject reasons a divorce, so couples will write anything to sway the judge. It's usually about the money in most cases ,eg he raped me whole married.....

The cases about Trump only came up after he joined politics. The DOJ releases are FBI records where Jane Does ( I believe setup by Hillary and Co) made complaints that were entered into record, then leaked selectively .
Anything Cris Wray FBI and Merrick Garland DOJ released about Trump is to me highly suspect.

A very simple question you refuse to answer. What did Democrats see in the unredacted about Trump that they have not revealed.
I'm unlike you who just believes what known evil democrats and liberals push through.

Panama canal has two ports on both sides.Were operated by Hong Kong company. They no longer do so. China actively seeks to control global ports they been building modern ports for countries on loans eg Sri Lanka.
In a war over Taiwan say ,what do you think would happen if they blew up the ports.
China air defence proved useless against America or Israel. Ditto Russian. Venezuela and Iranian Chinese and Russia air defence systems didn't shoot down a single plane ,they were all blown up. Who will buy systems that are porous. Don't forget UAE has an Iron Dome battery.
The US has one rare earth mine in production.. Extracting rare Earth's is hard on the environment,they are happy another country doing it . This resulted in a 90% control by China of REEs .I'm not sure whether you know the extensive needs for permanent magnets.
The US is not begging for cease-fire. The clerics project themselves as strong men ,they are making ridiculous demands to save face before they are blown up. They all celebrate martyrdom.For them dying is so welcome ,I won't give the details why......
There will be fewer kids killed in Gza now that Iran's money is cut off. So the Gaza people who want peace should be happy when Hamas loses funding. Right!



Mikasaobi:
The Panama Canal is just bad business for china, that’s not making an effort to neuter china. You and the author are using the wrong word here. The USA depends on cheap Chinese imports, that’s how it is and the Panama Canal has nothing to do with it. If you want to make an effort, produce your own goods and encourage your allies to do the same.

If the west doesn’t buy Russian oil, gas and fertilizer, they will sell to someone else, simple. E no concern you how china does business.

I intentionally left out Greenland in my post to give you the mining perspective of rare earths, but you’re back with this Greenland nonsense. Dude the USA and Canada have a lot of rare earths, they don’t need Greenland. They are not mining them because it’s too expensive compared to buying from china.

They don’t call them rare earths because they’re rare, it’s because the mining and processing is complex and expensive. For now only china can produce them cheap.

After seeing the USA beg Iran for ceasefire, you’re still talking about what awaits china in Taiwan.

If you care about needless deaths then speak up about the kids in Iran killed by tomahawk. Talk about civilian deaths in Gaza and Lebanon.

You also said the USA obliterated sales of Chinese air defence, how exactly did they do that? Did they stop Pakistan, Iran or maybe North Korea. China is not known for its military influence, they influence economically, I don’t understand the point you and the author are trying to make.

If you stop reading 🤡 stories , you’ll be fine. Take care

Bombshell bombshell

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/may/8/white-house-official-monica-crowley-promises-bombshell-2020-election/


Ambassador Monica Crowley, the U.S. government’s chief of protocol, said the administration will “soon” produce evidence that proves President Trump won the 2020 election.

Ms. Crowley, speaking Wednesday at an event hosted by Breitbart News, didn’t reveal more about the evidence but expressed confidence in what it would show.

“He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that,” she said.

That matches comments by other high officials, including FBI Director Kash Patel, who have talked about evidence of a conspiracy to subvert the 2020 vote, which made President Joseph R. Biden the victor over Mr. Trump’s vehement objections


I'll be following and updating this story


https://thefederalist.com/2026/05/11/fulton-county-fights-federal-subpoena-for-records-about-botched-2020-election/

Fulton county whose 600,000 ballots were seized by FBI got a new subpoena ...
It seeks names, positions/functions, residential addresses, email addresses, and personal telephone numbers for essentially the entire 2020 Fulton election workforce.

They are fighting against this new one , requested by a prosecutor outside of Georgia. Most likely a Florida prosecutor.

This is no laughing matter. It has been established that Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Strzok etc conjured up the Russia hoax ,then conspired to remove him via Mueller and sham impeachment 1.
Logically it follows, they took him out through the 2020 fraudulent elections after which they sought to silence,jail, bankrupt and murder him to cover up the original sin.
Media played a huge role in the scandal.

I'll have the last laugh.

***Making efforts to neuter,check my wording. It's a process that will take years ***
Russia would rather sell oil at market prices. China is buying it at a discount and reselling excess to to Europe. Russia,Venezuela and Iran oil at discounted prices give their manufacturing industry a huge edge. Iranian oil going to China,I didn't say it's zero. Check my wording. It could be zero BTW.

Panama canal ports at both ends were controlled by a Hong Kong company which was temoved. Means in a war they could shut down the canal. 40% of America cargo transits through Panama.

Rare Earth's . Greenland has 39 rare Earths China was trying to capture. They are now under US exploration.

China won't invade Taiwan soon,they know what awaits them. TSMC is already building fab plants in America,if they shut down there will still be plants manufacturing below 5 Nm chips somewhere else. Intel is also set to increase semiconductor plant manufacturing in mainland America.

I've been calling for end to Russia Ukraine war for months ,let them give Putin 25 years the eastern Ukraine to save face. Zelensky also saves face for not losing an inch of Ukraine. Both sides are hardly making any progress ,just needless deaths.

Ive always thought of manufacturing something in Nigeria one day ,with Chinese dunping goods at ridiculous low prices competing becomes a problem.
So China not Russia is the country that's a threat

Mikasaobi:
I don’t recall anyone calling you a lunat*c, but quoting a lunat*c is not helping you bro.

The Panama Canal didn’t neuter china

China doesn’t need Venezuela oil, they can get heavy oil from Russia. The USA sanctions drove Venezuela to China.

Iranian oil is still going to China, Bloomberg confirmed

The USA will need at least 5 years for a reasonable mining and processing of rare earths. China won the trade war Taco started and placed sanctions on rare earths and magnets for military use. The USA tried using secondary imports from India and South Korea, didn’t work. Now Taco is going to beg china to ease the sanctions so the military can produce radars and missiles to fight Iran. Who’s the boss here, you tell me.

Taiwan is same ol story.

“Socialists have a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they know, wealth just exists somehow, and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it.” —Thomas Sowell

Thomas Sowell received a demonstration this week, courtesy of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The New York congresswoman declared, “You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth — but you can’t earn that, right?”
In other words, billionaires don’t create wealth through skill, innovation, risk-taking, or delivering value to millions of customers.

They simply steal it. By definition.Notice that AOC never paused to examine how people like Taylor Swift, J.K. Rowling, or Palmer Luckey actually built their fortunes.

As Sowell observed decades ago, socialists display remarkably little curiosity about how wealth is created.

To them, the pile of wealth simply exists, and the only real question is how to redistribute it.Meanwhile, in New York, Mayor Zohran Mamdani filmed himself outside Ken Griffin’s $238 million penthouse to push a new “pied-à-terre” tax on luxury second homes.AOC, Mamdani, and their enthusiastic supporters in coastal cities aren’t really debating tax rates.

They’re asserting that your success ultimately belongs to them.James Madison warned of exactly this danger in Federalist No. 10.

He described factions consumed by “a rage for an equal division of property” and called such schemes “improper or wicked.” More than two centuries later, he remains correct.

On a 55-39 party-line House vote, Washington Democrats passed , terminating LEOFF Plan 1, the pension that covers cops and firefighters hired before 1977. Democrat Governor Bob Ferguson signed it in April 2026. Every yes vote was a Democrat. Every Republican voted no.

Where the money goes when the plan is restated June 30, 2029:
110% of liabilities transferred to a new plan to cover promised benefits
Remaining ~$3.9 billion swept into a Pension Surplus Holding Account
$569 million pre-allocated to the Climate Commitment Account
$880 million to refill the rainy-day fund Democrats already drained
The rest available to the legislature for the General Fund

Retired first responders sued in federal court April 30, 2026, alleging Contract Clause violations. : (), who has paid into LEOFF 1 since 1972.

Evidence that a private meeting was organized by CISA on November 3, 2020, at 3:30 PM Eastern Time with select members of a secret “Election Security Initiative.”

The list includes over 200 names of individuals, government entities, private businesses, media outlets, and at least one tech giant.

What were Obama grades for a start?

DeepSight:
Harvard never admitted unqualified students, period.

Question: does Harvard enroll unqualified students because they are black?

Gemini:

The question of whether Harvard admits "unqualified" students based on race is a central point of debate in American law and education. However, it is important to clarify how the admissions process works and how it has changed following the 2023 Supreme Court ruling.

1. The Legal Status of Race in Admissions
As of June 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard that race-conscious admissions programs are unconstitutional.

The Ruling: Harvard and other universities are now prohibited from using race as a standalone factor or "plus factor" in the admissions process.

The Result: Harvard's data for the Class of 2028 and 2029 shows a significant drop in Black student enrollment (falling from roughly 18% in 2023 to 11.5% by 2025). This suggests that without the ability to consider race, fewer Black students are being admitted under the current criteria.

2. "Qualified" vs. "Unqualified"
In elite admissions, the term "qualified" is often misunderstood. Harvard receives approximately 50,000 to 60,000 applications for roughly 2,000 spots.

The Baseline: Harvard officials have testified that the vast majority of their applicants—upwards of 15,000 to 20,000—are "fully qualified" academically, meaning they have the grades and test scores to succeed at the university.

Holistic Review: Because there are far more qualified students than seats, Harvard uses "holistic review." This considers factors beyond grades, such as leadership, artistic talent, geography, socioeconomic status, and (previously) race.

The Myth of "Unqualified": Evidence from court trials indicates that students admitted through diversity initiatives still met high academic thresholds. They were chosen from the pool of "qualified" candidates to help create a diverse learning environment, rather than being "unqualified" students jumping over "qualified" ones.

3. Other Preferences (Legacy and Donors)
While the debate often focuses on race, critics and legal experts point out that Harvard also grants preferences to other groups:

Legacy Applicants: Children of alumni.

Dean’s Interest List: Children of major donors.

Athletes: Recruited students for sports teams.

Studies presented during the SFFA trial suggested that these groups—which are statistically more likely to be white and wealthy—often receive a much larger "tip" in the admissions process than racial minorities ever did.
