I hate Joe Biden.

Bernie Sanders is my guy.

That being said, you have no leg to stand on since you are a Candace Owens supporter. That woman is trash. Pure trash. She is a grifter that will say anything negative about black people for money.
Saying negative things about people only makes one trash if the said matter is usually lies,

Enlighten us with two or thrée examples.
Do not include her claim that Democrat party fought to keep their slaves because that is a fact.

Children may not die but they can infect adults who might die.
Back to the children matters and school reopening.
Fredo's brother ie Cuomo the York governor has said he wants schools to reopen in the fall , well there are guidelines to be followed.

Like teamwork Schuck Schumer also supports the reopening of schools.

Looks like the dems are seeing that school shutdowns is not a winning strategy. Any parent would not want his/her kids to stay at home for a long time.

Meanwhile some teachers union had bodybags representing the children who will fie if schools reopen.

o time to get up to speed.
The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act
(SMMA) was buried in the 2012 National
Defense Authorization Act for good
reason – because it repealed the 1948
Smith-Mundt Act. The Smith-Mundt Act is
also known as the U.S. Information and
Education Act, which authorized the State
Department to engage in propagandizing
foreign countries as a form of public
diplomacy.
The SMA established that via the
Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG),
Voice of America (VOA), and Radio Free
Europe (RFE), the U.S. State Department
and Office of Public Affairs were
authorized to disseminate propaganda to
foreign publics, but were strictly
prohibited from releasing that same
propaganda in America for public
consumption. Put simply, our government
was permitted to lie to people in other
countries, but not to us here at home.
This prohibition was lifted in 2012, when
the SMMA was signed into law by
President Obama, allowing the same
propaganda disseminated by our
government to foreign publics, to now be
released in the U.S. for the very first time.

This mayor of Portland while siding with antifa blamed feds in the courthouse for the chaos nevermind that the protesters were outside .
They were withdrawn and the protesters were about to incinerate local cops .

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D)
on Thursday condemned the
violence that recently convulsed
his city, stating demonstrators are
“attempting to commit murder”
following an attack on East
Precinct, where violent left-wing
agitators attempted to set it ablaze.
“When you commit arson with an
accelerant in an attempt to burn
down a building that is occupied by
people who you have intentionally
trapped inside, you are not
demonstrating, you are attempting to
commit murder,” Mayor Wheeler,
who has remained relatively soft on
demonstrators — even joining them
last month — said.

And by the way, are there no media on the right who can cover this, or don't they care at all too?
Biden has said to blacks that They aint blek if they dont vote for him

He also questioned this black reporter who questioned him about his cognitive tests whether he was a junkie ( in other words are you out of your mind)

He also said that latinas think diversely but all blacks think the same.

If Trump had said this there would have been nonstop 24/7 calls for him to be lynched

I didn't say he broke law by not paying his taxes. We all take deductibles on so many things like mortgage, charities and political contributions. That's not the problems Americans have with Trump. The problem we have with him is to release his taxes and we know his worth and who's bankrolling his businesses. How come he's the only president in history fighting all the way to Supreme Court in other not to release his taxes. We have had 44 Presidents before him but he's the only one hiding his taxes. Name one President who did that.
There is no law to release his taxes. its just a precedence.
When its a DA seeking you taxes for a nuisance value, you go to court to seek redress.
Part of the reason the DA is after Trump is from client attorney privelleged documents that Mueller confisicated from Michael Cohen .

As Stalin said Show me the man I'll show you the crime.

Ignorance is a disease.

Capitalism is a flawed system (the corporations/Bourgeois become too powerful. Profit over lives/morals)
Socialism is a flawed system (the government/officials become too powerful)

The most developed countries run a mixed economy- capitalism mixed with socialist policies. eg Sweden, Norway etc


The progressive democrats want socialist policies but not a socialist economy. Nationalised healthcare, unemployment safety nets and police reforms
China is a socialist country.

Start a thread on capitalism, socialism, marxism, communism.

This proof nothing. How come trump who self admitted that he didn't pay taxes for 9 years because he wrote off the losses in his businesses and all of a sudden you posting junk that's confirmed. You know absolutely nothing about American taxes. I won't cheat on my taxes because I don't want the IRS problem. Don the Con has been lying for years that he is under audit. Audit of taxes doesn't take years. Keep your junk to yourself and fellow cultists. By the way cultist, the ones you posted was 15 years ago. Does that make sense to you.
Did yoi not watch the debates with Clinton over this matter. Way back in 2016?
Trump clearly explained that he took a 1b loss and deducted it over 10 years. He said thats what the law allowed for and if Clinton was against that she would have changed the law to prevent that. He also said Warren Buffet and many other enterprenuers have used the same law for dogs years. There was no law broken.

American Presidents have been releasing their taxes for almost 50 years because Americans don't want their leaders to be corrupted or compromised. That's why they put their businesses under Blind Trust when they become the President. The only exception is Don the Con.
Why then does Joe Biden finances not get investigated. His son was getting millons from China and Ukraine and from gov. His son squandered all that money in béer parlour and strip joints where he even got sued by his favourite stripper over child support.
Most likely Joe was getting a cut of the money.

That's a bold lie. Let Trump release his taxes. Show us the copy of the taxes Rachel Maddow releases. Trump's scared to high heaven to disclose his taxes because Americans will find out he's a fraud that's heavily indebted to Deutsche Bank and Russian Banks not talking of the Russian Oligarchs that are funding him. Biden released the last two years of his taxes, how come Trump is crying all the way to the Supreme Court so as not to make his taxes public. He is a monumental fraud that will soon be kicked out of our National discuss.


Rachel Maddow embarrassed herself
and MSNBC Tuesday night when she
hyped the fact that she “ got Trump tax
returns,” only to reveal two pages from
the president’s 2005 1040 form. Those
two pages revealed President Donald
Trump had made $150 million in 2005,
deducted $100 million in losses, and
paid $38 million in taxes.
Not the damning evidence the Left was
looking for. Instead of proving, as
Democrats had alleged throughout the
2016 election, that Trump hadn’t paid
taxes in decades, Maddow revealed
that Trump had paid taxes—and at a
larger share of his income than
President Barack Obama or Vermont
Sen. Bernie Sanders.



There you go. Story buried by media because useful idiots like you should believe the careless propaganda you regurgitate all day here.

Trump campaign is requesting a fourth debate — or rearranging the schedule to have the first debate in early September, before early voting.

They also list potential moderators (moderators are selected not by campaigns but by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates)
On debates. The 2016 mods were clearly anti Trump.
Lisa Holt of NBC
Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddaz of ABC
Cris Wallace ( He is now clearly antiTrump )

The mods should not all be political activists of the DNC media complex.

Speaking of being partisan I would love to see Tucker Carlson with John Lemon for instance.

Or Ingraham with Anderson Coopér.

Saying they are almost immune is almost factual unless twitter and facebook give the figures of children below 14 who have succumbed. Just blocking his account while we know its more or less the truth is in my opinion a systematic attack on Trump. There are lots of lies and misinformation on Facebook and twitter.

The riots happened because for almost 9mins a police officer knelt down on the neck of a restrained (hand-cuffed) black man and not for what happened before the incident.

if George Floyd didn't want to get inside the police patrol vehicle, the officers could easily have called for a big van for back up to ferry him to the police station. Yes George Floyd might have committed a crime (allegedly he presented a fake $20 bill) the police officer should not be the judge and jury. Ask yourself a question, will the police officer have knelt on the neck of a white man?
The process of subduing him led to his death.
Again he had too much drugs in his system that before being subdued he was already saying he could not breath while standing.
What did the autopsy say caused his death?

Granted the riots that ensued since seem to have been well thought out and planned And some have nothing to do with George Floyd. Why burn a church in DC, burn a pig placed on a flag and also burn bibles placed on the flag?

My opinion is that a lot of issues are being exaggerated to the maximum in order to ensure Trump is removed from office. And I also opine that leftists are being used by people involved in high crimes like child abuse, spygate, ukraine plunder and so on.
The attacks on Trump have been unrelenting and are building up to a climax. Deutche Bank has been forced to reveal his dealings with him now.

Before the elections Im sure more schemes will be rolled out.

So I am done with you for now Felicia because Charity begins at home.
I quoted New York Post. The article is accurate
It does not suit your propaganda because it clearly shows York lost 26% of mailed in ballots.
Right wing or left wing idiocy is not the subject matter here.

As a very important person solely because you are the only one in America and that alone makes you all knowing,
The question asked, and I repeat just like I repeat to my curently home schooling kids

If York cant handle 400k , how will the country handle 130m ballots sent to every voter, plus the maybe more than 130m filled in ballots recieved?

Or maybe you do not understand where the 130m figure is from.In 2016 Hillary plus Trump total votes were just below 130m. States have to send at least 130m via USPS and then recieve the 130m filled in ballots( can be more depending on fraud). There I hope that makes it easy for your fixed brain to comprehend.

The New York City Board of
Elections disqualified 84,208 vote-
by-mail ballots — 26% of the total
cast — in the June 23 Democratic
presidential primary, according to
a report cited Wednesday evening
by the New York Post
That’s means 84,208 ballots were
not counted or invalidated — 26
percent of the total.
One out of four mail-in ballots
were disqualified for arriving
late, lacking a postmark or
failing to include a voter’s
signature, or other defects.
.


See how hard it is for you to justify mail in entirely. If Big Apple disqualified 84k votes out of around 400k mailed in, extrapolate that to 260m votes or so, more so in states where volume of mail in votes was so low in some cases they did not count them initially because the state had already been won. I explain here
Take Calif where Clinton got 8m and Trump got just above 4m.If mailed in votes were 2m say the state would have been called for Hillary before counting the mailed in.

Maths is so simple, maths has a very bigly logic division.

Unpaid Coon from the Cave. Let me tell you how it works in America since you never step out of Nigeria in your life. In America, the elections are run by States and Local Governments. Each State decides how they want to run their elections since we do not have Federal Agency running elections. Some States will send Mail in to every voters and some will only send to those that requested it. It's a preference for each States to decide what they do. I always get Mail in ballots but never voted by mail in ballots in my life. I have voted absentee couple times before. The bottom line is that Trump is a liar and a demagogue in the sense that he voted by mail and he was crying against States that are mailing mail in ballots. No matter how much he cries, people are going to vote the way they want and he will lose in a landslide on Nov. 3rd. How come you are not joining the Civil protest in Nigeria to better your life instead of kissing the A@s of the smelly Orange buffooon. That will do you no good where you are.
Mr Know it all. Trump does not hide the fact that he voted by mail in.
Has there any mail in election in the last 6 months or so? If so were the results contested and why?

And if masks are the solution to flattening covid pandemic curve , why is it difficult for voters to just have masks and vote in person .Preferably even with a form of identification proof. This would make the resuults more legit. Afterall these
