Yes. Most people believe, despite heavy evidence toward the contrary, that voter fraud can never impact an election.
Odd I thought it was obvious by now. I suspected that after the media told everyone that Joe Biden was president they would do some research and find evidence to the contrary

Here we see the Trumpette in its natural habitat, assuming the role of victim and letting fly its native screech. "REEE, REEE, THIS ELECTION STILL ISN'T OVER, REEE!" The enraged Trumpette can be heard for miles, echoing deep into the night.

First, no it isn't. Second, the United States is actually pretty bad at social mobility, regardless of whether or not the initial low socioeconomic status was caused by systemic oppression.

Although it's not always the case, generally speaking, poor families stay poor and rich families stay rich.
This is agreeable considering systemic oppression runs deeper then racism.

Indeed. Most of the people I'm referring to are on food stamps, get utility assistance and a lot of them get Section 8 (HUD) rental assistance. A lot of them simply trade their food stamps for beer and drugs and are so uneducated they probably couldn't cook meals if they did spent their food money on something healthy. It angers me when it comes to how they treat their kids. I could care less that they are fat, lazy pieces of shit, but that's no reason to have your kids go hungry. They think other people should feed their kids and that's fucked. Then their kids go hungry, see their parents doing drugs and not working and then that's how they grow up and act.
These people are probably the wrong kind of poor to make example of. Either that they are trying to hide that they are poor due to social stigmas of being poor. I'm not denying that they exist and perhaps abuses the system but keep in mind that there are those that are actually poor and some don't even have kid(s). There are legitimate poor people actually needs these things just to survive, mainly the unrepresentative or underrepresented minorities that largely gets ignored. Also the system is design to keep them poor, heck they are not even allowed to save money for the rainy day or anything else, or else they either lose their benefit, their health insurance, or both. Every programs out their that supposed to help people get to home ownership are a joke, because these people will not qualify enough to even get one foot into the door, even with loans like USDA. Also consider with some seniors, their raise that they sometimes get annually, gets canceled out by the medicare premiums, thus keeping them in worst off shape because they have even less money to spend on the economy due to inflation. I should also mentioned that depending on the benefit type, the people are not even allowed to get married or again they lose the aforementioned things.

since were talking statistics...

the total number of US covid-19 deaths is 0.07% of the total US population.
the total number of suicide deaths is 0.014% of total US population
the total number of transgender people is 0.6% of total US population (estimated, not actual)
the total number of transgender violent deaths is 0.00215 % of estimated transgender population and 0.00001 % of total US population

Fact check:
  1. There's no reason to think we will have "dark times" when Biden is president.
  2. There's no reason to think things will "get worse than when Obama was president."
  3. Obama did not stoke race wars.
  4. Obama brought the GDP way up, not down.
  5. There were job gains under Obama, not losses.
  6. The rate of economic improvement did not change under Trump (pre-COVID).
  7. Including Trump's ineffective response to COVID-19, we saw and continue to see economic disaster under Trump.
  8. Economies wouldn't have been hit as hard if there had been an effective response to COVID-19 from the Trump administration.
  9. It's not a matter of "if" Biden will win. Biden is the president-elect.
Four likes for nonsense?

ad 1: You have an inactive President in play at a time where Covid economical impact will hit full force, that just appointed an industry lobbyist as chief of staff.

ad 2: That had in his program a pledge not to raise taxes for people with up to 400k of yearly income, when with Obama it was 200k. This means no effective tax raises for any programs whatsoever. So anything you plan to do that costs big money, has to be debt financed, or financed through corporate taxes, we know aint happening. Also, thats a structural claim, that makes no sense. Except if you 'believe'.

ad 4: GDP is not a measure anymore that tells you how main street is doing. Financial gains have been decoupled from 'real' economic gains, and were responsible for most of GDP gain in the last 40 years. Also Obama watched over the Wall Street bailout after the 2008 financial market crisis, which tanked GDP - temporarily.

ad 5: In absolute numbers, there are always job gains (even through the worst stock market crash since the 1920s (?)), because your country is growing (immigration). Thats a platitude, you have to be more specific.

ad 6: Important point, but there are better ways to make it. 'No rate change' can actually be an achievement. (Generally speaking, not necessarily in this case.)

ad 7: True, but you increased competitiveness towards other economies, and now have more options for the coming months probably (can be argued, that you always had more options, because you can print USD). Also, there was no scenario in which Covid-19 could have been 'controlled' in the US pretty much since the beginning. Doesnt mean, you shouldnt try to mitigate it. (Reduce deaths.)

ad 8: Wrong. Corp america was on the side of 'keep the economy open for as long as possible'.

How does that get you 4 likes? Because it sounds good?

When we are talking about a disease that will infect about everyone if left unchecked, that's a lot of death. If we did no masks and no physical distancing, that would be over 3 million deaths in the United States alone. When you consider how overwhelmed hospitals would be, that number would probably be much higher.

You're assuming that the 1% is a one time deal, but you can catch covid19 a second time and have it worse.
We don't have enough evidence yet to calculate what the death toll could be.


That's good you claim you don't blindly follow what your leaders and media tell you to think, believe and be outraged by. However, you'd have fooled me because you act just like the rest of the liberals do.

You're easily fooled then, go build another strawman.

There's so much hypocrisy coming from the left that they don't even try to be consistent any more. They just do what makes them feel good or whatever they want to do. They spent most of this year shaming and getting people arrested for gathering in groups and then say fuck it and go gather in groups hundreds of times larger whenever they feel like it. They fucking know they are wrong and they just don't care.

Everyone is a hypocrit. You just lack the self awareness to see it in yourself. Because you just do whatever makes you feel good and whatever you want to do.

Yes, you and the rest of the Liberals. You also keep claiming I'm racist yet I'm not a Liberal. So that wouldn't make much sense. Me being racist and all.

Well you keep calling it China Wuhan Virus, so yeah it makes sense to call you a racist.
Liberals can be racist too, the difference is they try to not be and change.
While you embrace it and say there is nothing wrong with the statements you make.


Wow, a whole 121 people. That's some big ass sample size that you know, reflects the entire population. /s

You claimed that no young people died without underlying health conditions. I disagreed.
You told me to prove it. I did.

No cost is too great.

I think you misunderstand what you are saying.

No cost, whether it's masks or lockdown, is too great. Right?

But you're arguing in all your posts as if the cost is too great.

3. Sundays and Mondays are low-reporting numbers? I suppose we don't have to wear masks during those days, then.

No, it means the paper work doesn't get done on those days & they don't back date them.

Yes. Most people believe, despite heavy evidence toward the contrary, that voter fraud can never impact an election.

It's not whether voter fraud could never impact an election, there is no evidence that voter fraud has impacted a US election.

Trump has claimed there was definitely fraud (because he doesn't understand why he might lose) without any evidence and loads of idiots have believed him. Now it's possible that there was fraud, it's possible that the majority of votes for Trump were fraudulent.

But claiming it without any evidence makes you look unreliable. They threw out testimony from one of the observers because he had posted on social media before the election that it was going to be fraudulent, although his testimony was pretty idiotic as well. He claimed that he just kept seeing votes for Biden, when that is what you would see if there were loads of legitimate votes for Biden. As he had already drawn his conclusion before the event and there was no real evidence, then he was an unreliable witness.

Trump lost the election because he is a criminal. A lot of people don't like their president to be a criminal.

There are literal youth shelters for everything.
Youth shelters that are aimed a specific population are not the norm, and if there are youth shelters aimed at specific populations these are in cities where there are there is an alarming rate of homeless youth such Seattle or Vancouver where it is possible to have multiple shelters.
But even then there are reasons as to why trans youth and other at-risk youth would avoid shelters. Youth shelters are commonly not long term solutions, they're short term solutions until the youth can get their own social worker and then the shelter's case manager, director, and the youth's social worker try to come to a conclusion. First option is always family reconciliation. And to even be admitted into a shelter you have to get consent from your parent or guardian, and once that parent knows a certain youth is a shelter nothing is stopping them from initiating a runway youth report and unless there is physical abuse is happening there's nothing that can be done.

Long term youth shelters exist, but they're a last resort option.

And no youth shelters does not negate the trauma trans youth or any youth faces.

I see Biden is already assembling a team full of war monger$ :toot: :gun:

Top tip - Start investing in companies that have contracts in arms supply to fund your next gen consoles (yes plural, you'll be able to afford them all)

Obama partly responsible for the Yemeni genocide. Arming terrorists via Operation Timber Sycamore. Yet nobody can fathom out the real reason they made you hate and get rid of Trump :wacko:

Depleted uranium causing birth defects in the middle east = :toot:
Trump boasting he can grab gold digging women's pussy and generally not acting presidential = :cry:

Dear oh dear America :teach:

You must have watched too much RT... ;)

https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/02/14/the-united-states-used-depleted-uranium-in-syria/

https://web.archive.org/web/2020110...united-states-used-depleted-uranium-in-syria/

350 vehicles in the western dessert. Depleted uranium used for 'armor piercing quality'.

Otherwise banned as a weapon from armed conflict (international treaties). We know the US doesnt care about those (american exceptionalism), but its not like you go around and poison populations throughout an entire war. Like in 2003.

Same trick is done in terms of russian support of the 'peace movement'. Overexaggerate moral claims. Thats the MO of RT 24/7. ;)

Also pretty much the same trick as behind "babykillers, killing them babies" (the US pro choice debate).

If you dont like your president over his lack of eloquence, then you need to be anti-war as a minimum with all the crimes that are inevitably committed.

The Military Industrial Complex got rid of Trump, they couldn't care less about his character quirks. I'm not calling them flaws, as war should be our main concern (well it is for the poor people in the Middle East) and his haters were claiming his 'flaws' would start another war. On the contrary.

Also notice how the so-called 'desperate refugees' never actually make out of their countries as they're either too frail, sick or injured. Yet another accusation at Trump was that he was r#cist for being tough on immigration.
Well tough luck all the genuine refugees. The west only want your fittest.

'You need to be anti war.' Wow, so much easy. As if the world would be seen through the eye of an eternal six year old. Why do you need to be anti war? Because of the crimes inevitably committed.

Moral guideline.

Wait, let me consult with my moral authority figure for a moment. The religious representative.

Yeah, they say this checks out. Except for crusades against infidels though, you are supposed to follow those. Because they are moral.

Also reminded me of the separation of state and religion, which I dont quite know, why its there. I'm certain you do have to follow moral rule though. Thats what my religious representative also tells me.

(Even if it hasnt been a guiding principle of foreign policy for the past 200 years at least.)

He tells me I should organize protest movement in the name of secular peace movement, that has all the trappings of a religious organization, but is secular for sure.

Also I'm pretty sure 'Obama' (The anticrist) dint arm 'a people' and that was the decision of his foreign policy department, which at best he didnt veto... ;)
-

Also - the military industrial complex didnt axe trump for not going to war. He rearmed the entire sector. He raised military spending. He made arms deals in the middle east. Significant arms deals some people for some reason wanted to call 'peace deals'. (Between parties, that never have been at war - period.)

West only wants the 'fittest' immigrants is actually correct though. Although thats industry interests. Which pay more bills than humanitarian interests. Which in the standard economic model helps out everyone (in the west).

Issue - if you have qualification gaps you end up with a larger proportion of people whose outlook is to 'open a local store' than your economy needs. As a result, often the first generation loses hope and outlook ('no upward mobility, from 'bad part of town', 'bad part of town' doesnt get developed into better part of town (as its supposed to happen (market forces), if labor is cheap enough and you have many people that are intrinsicly driven) - as a result you are producing a societal hot zone.

So there is a 'rational' explaination for this also, that isnt purely 'profit' driven (we gladely take your educated). If your economy, as a host country isnt growing, and you tell people to see their perspectives in asian goods getting cheaper, and an internationaly connected ruler class....

The middle eastern wars cost each American $10,000.
I doubt Trump's updates came anywhere near to that.
