"There's the champion of the "law and order" party telling people that laws don't apply to their criminals."

No surprise; he's the same guy who believes in democracy...unless the majority of the voters choose the other side.

"Nixon scuttled the Vietnam Peace talks"

And four years later, had to accept worse terms to get NV to promise not to take over Saigon immediately.

"Vietnam was LBJ's baby."

Nonsense. Nixon'a peace deal contained less than Nixon was offered four years prior.

"I despise Trump, but whatever blame you can ascribe to him is limited. "

One easy thing to ascribe is Trump's choice to make the single biggest mitigator of the pandemic- wearing a mask - a political statement. Another easy thing to ascribe to Trump is 4% of the population with 20% of the deaths.

Not much of a blame limit, according to math.

" It's a logistical impossibility."

If that were true, Oregon would have a quarter-century's worth of logistical problems to report. Instead, it has zero instances to report.

Why doesn't your fantasy line up with their reality?

"Maybe Adam Kinzinger should not have voted against impeachment back when"

Exactly. I'm sick to death of folks who are, just now, discovering Trump is a dangerous buffoon. I'd put Sasse, Collins, and Murkowski in that lame-azz group as well.

Speaking of Collins, I wonder if she still believes Trump "learned his lesson"....

"Via Skype, hiking her skirt up, unbuttoning the top two buttons on her blouse, pointing to her Ann Coulter-long her neck, with a "Hm? HMMMMMM?"

BradRaff: "Sure, honey. 11,780 votes. That means you still lose. Please join Trump in the loser line. Mr. Perdue will be along to join you shortly. "

On foxnews.com:
"Warnock declares victory in Georgia runoff, but Loeffler says she has path to victory'"

She's on the phone right now with Raffensperger, asking if she, too, can have 11,780 votes.

Judith Miller right now on Fox: I think Mitch McConnell is as uncomfortable as Mike Pence.

"...who takes larger portion of the blame?"

Trump. He's the #winner. Bigly. Sooooooo much winning.

Mitch McConnell will no longer be the leader of the Legislative Branch.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy!

" eventually, people get tired of one city speaking for an entire state"

Although strangely, they never get tired of that one city paying for an entire state.

" If not this election, at some point mail-in ballots will create a election disaster."

Oregon's quarter-century of mail-in ballots have created exactly ZERO election disasters. Same with the military's century and a half.

At this point, you're just a liar, repeating stupid lies, and ignoring the fact the total absence of a single shred of proof speaks volumes.

" Adding the shear volume of millions of ballots makes auditing logistically impossible to verify accuracy without a margin of error."

Nonsense. There are redundant checks and balances, you're just afraid to educate yourself on them. For example, what do the election officials do when a ballot is returned without originally being requested?

" you can recount the same incomplete or corrupted data a million times and you'll get the same result."

Please show how Oregon's (or in this case, Georgia's) data was incomplete or corrupted...or have the nads to admit you don't have a shred of proof.

Professionals who get paid A LOT of money to find that very thing can't find ANY. And when every single Republican lawyer gets in front of a judge and has to provide actual EVIDENCE, they stipulate they have NONE. Do you understand what the word "stipulate" means??? It means they're admitting up front there was NO FRAUD.

At this point, you're just a liar, repeating fanciful lies.

"If a companies' business still relies on a dead founder's work 95 years into the future and can't innovate "

Why should "Innovation" be the barometer in creative works, but not built works? Homes and buildings don't go into the public domain after 95 years. Should anyone get to call themselves DuPont, and sell chemicals? Should the Golden Arches eventually go into public domain, so any roadside joint could call themselves McDonald's and sell whatever crap they want???

"why should we pay tax dollars to protect their legal right to those assets? "

Nobody is asking you pay a penny. All they're asking is the same ability to pass down valuable assets as business titans have; the current law undervalues the creation if it's connected at all to art or creativity. Successful folks get to pass assets to children, grandchildren, and further...unless of course, they're songwriters authors, or other creative thinkers.

"No one has an inherent right to their IP."

That suggests I can copy a new bestselling book, and sell it for one-quarter the retail price.

"A *trademark* is different than a copyright."

Yeah; one is based on stuff not easily stolen or appropriated. Tell me: should all the 100+ year old items in the Smithsonian be released to the public?

"I was running down mail-in voting long before the election back when the idea was first being discussed."

That's because Trump started running it down, the minute he realized it might lead to his loss.

Tell me: does it bother you at all that professional after professional, all paid very well to discover ANY examples of what you're claiming, can't seem to find any? Are they all incompetent, blithering idiots?

"So you are admitting mail-in voting created an advantage for Democrats? You make it sound like Trump may be justified in his anger."

What a riot: you're excusing Trump and blaming the Democrats for a problem created by Trump.

"Just is a bad idea with too many ways to go wrong that can't be adequately trusted."

Then since Oregon has been doing it for a quarter century, and the military for over a century and a half, you should be able to produce a litany of examples why it can't be adequately trusted. Why can't you seem to find any? Why do you never produce any?

You have the same problem as every Republican lawyer in court to date: allegations, without a shred of proof. There's a word for that: LIES. And there's a word for folks who willingly believe lies when there is no proof: DELUSIONAL.

"I mean....suppose they wanted to eliminate early voting hours in districts that vote Democrat. Wouldn't that be wrong?"

Your analogy is stupid: mail-in voting is equally open to all; the only aspect that alters favorability is participation.

In contrast, purposely closing Democratic wards is purposeful disenfranchisement.

"That a pointless question and has nothing to do with what I'm talking about."

Nonsense. His question goes to the heart of your hypocrisy: you're against it because it favors Democrats, but you're fine with it when Republicans win, and so are those Republicans.

"It means nothing to me that you believe mail-in voting benefits Democrats. If what you say is true, that's all the more reason it should be disallowed. "

Annnnnd....we've come to the crux of the problem: Trump discouraged mail-in voting, lied about it, in fact, and his phluffers bought that lie, hook line and sinker.

"Voting must be right the first time....period. No chances for redo."

You're ignoring the fact every time there's a redo, it turns out they got it right the first time.

Stop spreading lies. You have no proof, you've never had proof, and every Republican lawyer, once in a court of law, has admitted they have no proof, either.

Are they all lying, or just you?

"Just as possible as George Floyd dying of COVID complications."

You're choosing to be backwards. Had Floyd not had a knee on his neck, he wouldn't have died. Had Reese not had Covid, he wouldn't have died.

Your pretense these instances are the same is idiotic.

"So, again, a Lib doesn't care that EVERYONE got tax breaks."

Everyone did NOT get tax breaks. The richest 1% got 83% of the cuts, the richest .1% got 60%. By comparison, the top 1% got 27% in the most lopsided code I'd ever seen before the Trump code.

Most of the middle class got tax increases, and they start in 2021. Once again, you have no f^^king idea what you're talking about.
