#188 Ugh! is right!

But, one can hope. One can dream. I have seen the mountain top and have seen the promised land. I might not get there with you ... Yeah, I have a dream!

#128 Thanks!

#185 What's funny is that you turned an imaginary strawman about me into your very own strawman that you created to attack me!

Nope. You cannot make this --- up, folks.

They willingly provide it, free of charge and free of thinking.

#185 The lady doth protest too much, methinks

#124 ALOT of Democrats are. So?

I also notice that you couldn't name a single one of those "ALOT"s you mentioned?

#183 *sigh* You're right.

#122 Doesn't TDS stand for Trump Devoted Sycophant?

#180 I vote "AYE!" (getting ready to go to Colonial Williamsburg this December for their Grand Illumination)

#178 Most excellent.

Are those on the other side of the aisle always that, well, lazy in their thinking/replies?

#172 Bravo!
#173 Excellent.. and thank you.

#171 You've made your position very, very clear:

He (the Trump) thinks you are stupid.

He thinks we are all stupid.

They know they have no platform.

They know they have no policies.

They know they are not improving a single life except the predators and plutocrats who bankroll them.

So they distract.

They misdirect.

They shake jangly -------- in the air like cheap street magicians stalling the crowd.

They need to believe we're stupid enough to swallow this crap, because seventy-seven million people already did.

And they're banking on you being just stupid enough to swallow it again.

So the real question is ...

Are you?

#118 As usual, BJ boi is attempting to hedge his bets by saying "I just hope these Epstein files Democrats are demanding don't turn into Pandora's Box that everyone ends up wishing had stayed shut."

It is as if BJ boi has not once heard the unified chorus on the left, Democrats, and progressives (along with every single independent American):

Torpedoes be damned, full speed ahead: If Democrats or anyone on the left or any progressives are in/on the "Epstein files," bring it on, prove their guilt in a court of law, then throw away the key.

Apparently, you think we're concerned about this "Pandora's Box."

We're not.

#169 Your "clarification" of "mail in voting has enough security built in to be reliable" belies your transparent attempt to throw shade on all forms of voting that are NOT in-person.

Here's how someone who wasn't sucking on an orange dick would put it, honestly:

"In person voting is the most secure form of voting, but mail in voting has enough security built in to be reliable."

And completely transparent person would say something like this:

"In person voting is the most secure form of voting, but mail in voting has enough security built in to be reliable, while other forms of voting, including the blue finger dip, also have some strong security features. But every form of voting has its advantages and disadvantages, such as ...."

Nope, you were too busy sucking on an orange dick than to be transparent and honest.

#167 Oh, BJ boi is enough. Thanks.

#105 "Daddy, a man put his thing inside me and I didn't want him to!," sobbed BJ boi's 12-year-old daughter.

"Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear, let me comfort you, my dear. There, there now. Was it his finger, or was it more, sweetheart?"

"Oh, daddy, I just don't know *sob* I just don't know...."

"There, there, my precious. But don't worry, I bet it was just his finger. Let me dry your eyes, my dear. After all, if it was just a finger, then no harm, no foul, right?"

#102 Your post sounds like a take on the classic, burlesque-era joke entitled, The Aristocrats

On the White House lawn, Trump could rape her, Epstein her underage daughter and son, and then chop off their heads with a butter knife and then repeat the process with their corpses, and he could still count on your vote.

#164 Whoops:

The most secure form of voting is in person. #143 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-11-18 07:43 PM

If you always tell the truth, you never have to remember what you said.

#160 Yeah? And? Supposedly the Trump never, ever actually said "I will release the Epstein files on day one"... but, yet, he's talking all the grief over that affair because that's exactly what he wanted his voters to believe.

So, shove it with your attempt to normalize a clear intent.

Otherwise, why with the bovine excrement defending in-person voting as being the only secure way to vote?

Oregon's 3+ decade experiment in universal mail-in voting - with other voting jurisdictions now following suit - has shown mail-in voting to be both popular and successful. And safe and secure.

It is the GOP misconception that mail-in voting only helps Democrats that prompts absurd comments like "in-person voting is the only secure vote." It is a transparently lame attempt to cast shade on any and all voting other than in-person voting.

And, apologies for my "shove it" comment, above. Low and slow is much more effective.

#154 "Poll worker checks ID, verifies district and crosses off name indicating ballot has been secure. "

Mail in: elections supervisor sends - via USPS - a secure ballot. No checking of "ID" necessary, because said voter had to produce proof of eligibility, with the elections supervisor... when they register to vote. No registration, no ballot.

Next?

"Where I'm at the voter feeds the ballot into the machine. That's a more secure paper trail than mail in."

Oh, and just where are those ballots, that you felt all warm and fuzzy about watching go into the counters - just where do you think those ballots end up? In your precinct, where you voted? Nope. They are gathered up (harvested, it you will), then taken to the place where the ballots are all tallied for the results in the county/parish. Gosh, sometimes they're taken to a central location and then taken to the central place where all the ballots are all tallied.

Meanwhile, mail in ballot goes from supervisor of elections -> previously registered voter -> voter completes ballot in the privacy of their own home -> returns ballot to supervisor of elections via USPS -> supervisor of elections opens ballot, confirms its eligibility, then feeds it into the tabulating machine. If the tabulator is wrong, the mailed in paper ballots are there for a manual, hand-count.

Yeah.

Anyone who is trying to defend in-person voting only as the only secure way to vote (while at the same time screwing those in the military stationed overseas, out of their right to vote) is un-American and insane.

And all your sanctimonious insistence on in-person voting being the only secure way to vote completely overlooks the quote (attributed to Stalin): "It doesn't matter who votes that counts, it only matter who counts the votes." And your wet dream of in-person voting (and its racist demand for ID) is completely impotent when face with that true danger to this democratic republic of ours.

#155 Oh, it is "a stupid pejorative." And you just HAD to call it out.

Couldn't help yourself, could you, fragile snowflake.

#78 And, yet, you cannot name a damn thing the Trump is doing to help America.

Nothing whatsoever.

#77 There are none so blind as those who cannot see:

"Trump himself called Boebert, regarding her signing onto the Epstein petition and spoke to her yesterday, I am told. Trump playing phone tag with Mace. So far, they are not planning to remove their names from the petition."

holy ----, Donny had to play phone tag with Nancy Mace! how hilarious is it that when America's self-appointed bathroom panty inspector's phone rang and she saw it was Dear Leader, she was all I'm not answering that ----.'

as for five-time international lap-hockey champion Handy Oakley, they actually summoned her to the While House Situation Room " and when she got there, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel were waiting for her.

oh my god, it's like a Murderer's Row of morons " a -------- Hall of Fame " with all these incompetent clowns going pretty please, Lauren, we'll be your best friend.'

what do you suppose all these geniuses offered Boebert to get her to change her vote? a bag of money? an ambassadorship? some important White House role " something meaty she could get her hands around?

#77 There are none so blind as those who cannot see:

here's another perfectly normal thing: Epstein asking a reporter if they'd like to have "photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?"

#77 There are none so blind as those who cannot see:

"i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc."

now, let's not jump to conclusions here. just because Donny was holed up for hours at Epstein's house with one of those underage spa girls' doesn't mean that anything untoward was going on.

maybe Donny was helping her with her math homework. maybe he was explaining how you can lower the price of a prescription drug by a thousand percent. maybe she was giving him makeup tips on how not to look like a fluorescent tangerine -------. if so, he wasn't listening.

look, let's not bicker and argue about who was spending hours alone with who.
