do you Americans even understand how your system works?

Gosh. I dunno.

Why don't you tell us how it works Comrade. You being a foreign agitator here in the free world on a work VISA should make you the expert eh?

And it's not even 69!

Yet.

Teslas are.

I swear when I drove one it was like I was driving a big ole Iphone.

Trump should direct the DOJ to release the files, which you admit is wrong and outside the scope of the president's responsibilities, but since he doesn't give a shit anyway....then do it.

Trump already has no respect for norms or the rule of law. But. He does not need to DO anything but tell his people to release the files and get out of the way.

And besides you know as well as I do that Trumpy's the one who fanned the flames of multiple conspiracies and made multiple campaign promises to release the files in order to get himself elected. Biden promised no such thing. The onus is now on him.

So because Trump is a crook and Biden wasn't....

Sure. Can't disagree with that.

But. You ask why Biden did not release the files.

Because Biden respected the rule of law and did not conspire with the DOJ like they were his personal lawyers. He let the DOJ investigations take their natural course. As he should have.

Why don't you ask a reasonable and valid question like why didn't democrats demand their release during the Biden administration?

Let me introduce you to Donnerboy.

He's not done making excuses for Biden.

Let me introduce you to reality.

Reminding you that it's not normal for the President to conspire with the DOJ like this administration does is not an "excuse".

Which of course why it's NOT a "fair question".

Do try harder.

Because otherwise, your silence is consent that Biden participated in a coverup.

No. It isn't. You just made that shat up.

Even in a court of law you can't draw negative conclusions from no response.

You lie and lie and pretend it's normal. Just like Shady JD makes up his statistics without batting an eye or ever apologizing.

Like Trumpy claiming 300 million Americans have been killed by drugs from Venezuela.

It's not normal to lie so much.

Nothing about this administration or its rabid hateful followers is normal.

Do you even realize how retarded that is? You're literally saying Biden participated in a coverup.

No he isn't gasbag. And this is why it's NOT A FAIR QUESTION.

Biden did not push for an investigation into the Epstein files because that's not his job.

In the U.S. system, it is a long-standing norm for presidents not to direct the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate specific individuals. This practice protects the DOJ's independence and prevents the weaponization of law enforcement for political purposes.

The President has a constitutional duty to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" but is not meant to control specific criminal prosecutions. Directing the DOJ to investigate particular individuals target political rivals or protect allies is an abuse of that power.

A functional democracy relies on the public's trust that justice is applied impartially, based solely on the facts and the law. Presidential interference could undermine this trust by creating the perception that political loyalty, rather than objective facts, influences legal outcomes.

Trumpy and his minions are obviously not interested in maintaining a functional democracy.

Why are you trying to dismiss a fair question?

Is it really a "fair" question?

Why do you think it's "fair"?

Re #20

No one here owes you anything you farging gasbag.

Not to mention the left's two attempts on Trump's life.

Two confused individuals with mixed ideologies is not the "left". Or the "right".

Btw- there has been four attempts on Trumpy life.

There have, however, been four publicly confirmed assassination attempts on the Republican nominee's life since he entered politics, in which law enforcement were able to verify that the intent of the culprit was to kill Trump.

GFY with your weak and hateful lies liar.

No one believes that was the intention of the largely peacful protest.

What exactly was the intention of those in the crowd who built the gallows and the groups with weapons and tactical gear and wrist ties who were searching for Mike Pence while chanting "Hang Mike Pence!"?

See Corky? You found heaven in an enchilada!

Heaven is all around us. Jesus did say that the kingdom of God is already here.

From the gospel of Luke:

Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, Here it is,' or There it is,' because the kingdom of God is in your midst."

From the gospel of Thomas:

His disciples said to him: On what day will the kingdom come? : It cometh not with observation. They will not say: Lo, here! or: Lo, there! But the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.

When you die you don't go "up" or "down" as many low info humans would like to believe. Don't ask me why they want to believe that. It reminds me of why humans wanted to believe the earth was at the center of the solar system and the entire universe revolved around it.

Think about it. (thought experiment!).

What would happen if when you die you don't go out of your body either up or down ... but you go "in"?

If you keep going "in" you will eventually "fall" into the Nothing. Where we all came from. Nothing neither is nor is not.

Also if you think you know of the Nothing then you do not. If you understand that you do not know then you do.

Remember tho.. Words are inadequate to describe the Nothing and what happens there and how we came from it and how we will return to it. But that never stopped mankind from trying. We usually call them philosophers religious leaders or poets.

Just being against facism (antifa) will soon get you labeled a terrorist.

Following recent left-wing violence and the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump stated on September 15, 2025, that he is in favor of designating the anti-fascist (Antifa) movement as a domestic terrorist organization.

Only one problem. Antifa is not a group. It's an ideology.

Careful.....misquoting vaccination statistics is a first-class ticket out of here.
#18 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Good thing I am not misquoting anything then.

Just quoting the facts. Do you have a different understanding?

It's tough to get exact statistics for all Americans.
My facts are based on CDC data.

Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (4+ doses DTP, DT, or DTaP): 80.4%
Polio (3+ doses): 92.5%
Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) (1+ doses): 90.8%
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) (primary series + booster dose): 80.0%
Hepatitis B (Hep B) (3+ doses): 91.4%
Chickenpox (Varicella) (1+ doses): 90.3%
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) (4+ doses): 81.4%
Combined 7-vaccine series: 69.7%

I am relying on the combined series rate of 69.7%.

But it's true this is for children. Which eventually become adults or so I am told.

Trumpy killing 1/10 of Americans would be about 33 million people.

Seems a bit of hyperbole but any unnecessary deaths is still a very serious matter to consider.

Our sharp turn away from facts and science WILL cause (has already caused) Americans to die.

While 30% of Americans are no longer vaccinated even 1/10 seems to be a bit high for a number of Americans that will be killed or will have their lives destroyed by Trumpy's criminal negligence and hateful ignorance.

But who knows what the future holds for us now as I guess anything is possible with this dumpster fire of an administration.

Re 11

The experience of the quantum field is not universal. The experience of the Nothing will be universal.

In quantum field theory, a vacuum is not considered empty but is described as a "sea" of fluctuating quantum fields. (Quantum Foam makes you Roam) From this "nothingness," virtual particles can pop into and out of existence.

Some scientists, like Lawrence Krauss, have argued that this scientific observation provides a mechanism for a universe to come from a kind of "nothing".

How to describe something that is nothing? Many Eastern philosophical traditions see the relationship between something and nothing as a core principle of reality.

In Taoism, the concept of the Tao is understood as a nameless, permanent nothingness from which everything arises. The Tao is not separate from the world but is the ultimate source and ground of all existence.

In Buddhism everything exists only in relation to other things. In this view, "everything" is made possible through its relationship to "nothing".

And yes I have personal experience that strengthens my understanding of the Nothing. But there are no words for something that is nothing.

But this "Nothing" that I did "experience " definitely matters.

A lot.

But no worries. We have all "experienced" it (You remember Nothing about Nothing! Of course! ) and we will all get to "experience " it again.

I believe that people will be surprised by who makes it to heaven and who gets sent to hell.

I believe that people will be surprised by what "heaven and hell" (death) turns out to be.

I have been to the Nothing.

And Nothing Matters.

A lot.

No she wasn't. The investigation included videos and eye witnesses that showed her climbing through a window, empty handed, when she was shot and killed.

Either you're a liar or too lazy to read.

Ashli Babbit had a one in her pocket.

She had a concealed weapon.

Therefore she was armed.

Her family received $4.9 million dollars in the wrongful death suit against the US Capitol Police.

You ----- are slipping.

So, suspicion is really just projection. A reflection of your own flaws and poor characteristics.

I know you are but what am I?

GFY with your weak arse attempt at kindergarten insults.

It's a well known fact that MAGA accusations most often turn out to be confessions of the crimes THEY (or their representatives) currently are committing.

That's just what the people are saying.

And OneRunt was just quoting them as an unimpeachable source! This must be so confusing for him.

But I bet the NYT doesn't knuckle under. They've had some practice at this. They have tangled with folks way smarter than the F-Troop crew.
