Adam 'in the rear, with the gear'

@djtimm @xevekiah Trump claims to have seen them though He wasn't talking about 1000 people scattered across the country He was talking about large gatherings being reported by trusted news sources, which is not something that happened

@wheellock @xevekiah Thousands of people is probably an exaggeration. Muslims cheering the fall of the towers were interviewed by police. I am sure there were thousands cheering across the nation.

THEN ARREST HIM. How many times are they going to say “there’s proof he raped kids” only to do nothing about it?

@djtimm @xevekiah It's gullible to think the Dems hadn't vetted their candidate, for starters I get that there was a movement of grifters trying to deceive gullible people, including offering fake documents like this Are you really claiming that Trump was being deceived?

@wheellock @xevekiah Or maybe not so gullible?

@djtimm @xevekiah Odd, Grok found lots of examples when I specifically asked for false statements, not just misleading ones

I did ask Grok and got zero hits for "false statements by Donald Trump". When you change it to false or misleading statements, you get a bunch. As I said before, try to sneak in misleading, or exaggeration into the mix. It is an old trick to mix the quantifiable in with vague terms to get the results you want.

@djtimm @xevekiah I guess there's always the possibility that Trump was exceedingly gullible and really believed what he was saying, but that's an even better reason to not vote for him

That whole birther thing was up in the air for a while. The Certificate of Live Birth that Obama released in 2008 was a short form copy and was missing pertinent information. This gave rise to the rumors. In 2011 the White House released a long form Certificate of Live Birth. To my knowledge, his official Birth Certificate has never been released. You can't really say that Trump was "caught in a lie" if he actually believed what he was saying. And you can't say he didn't believe it, unless you have secret mind reading powers.

@EldarMamedov4 Forceful how? You want them to storm a capital or something?

Genuinely puzzled as to why aren't Democrats forcefully defending Obama's Iran deal? It was a legitimate, legacy-defining accomplishment. Instead, they're letting Trump's wreckage define the terms. Makes no sense.

@JamesSurowiecki Beyond that, also want sanctions lifted, permission to develop nuclear power without fear of reappraisal, reparations for the damage we've done to their country , the right to toll the straights ...and an apology

@JamesSurowiecki They're worried we'll re-arm and attack them again in six months, because we've basically promised to do that They're also worried we'll attack in the middle of negotiations, because we also did that

Isn't the obvious deal that we agree to stop bombing, Iran agrees to open the Strait and stop tolling, and we call it even and everyone goes home?

@djtimm @xevekiah If we're talking about his lies in general, there's a whole Wikipedia page devoted to the subject en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_… You could also ask grok, if you trust that more

@djtimm @xevekiah Those are the big obvious lies Trump told while campaigning, that I can think of off the top of my head

@djtimm @xevekiah You may be right, but it boggles my mind that people would like or trust Trump more Even then, he was regularly rude and had been caught in numerous lies

@wheellock @xevekiah Trump beat Hillary because voters neither liked or trusted her. Whoever she was running against was bound to win.

@imshillgates @RachelBitecofer I'm a fairly extreme lefty and I assure you that we do not control the Democratic party: half of us don't even vote Dem, and those who do are mad about it The majority of Democrats are centrist moderates who agree with the positions expressed by @rachelbitecofer here

@RachelBitecofer You are not the norm and you know it. Apologies. You seem completely reasonable.

Almost everyone I know who supported Trump has abandoned him at this point, including me. This might go down as the biggest collapse in this history of US politics.

@HotDawgFingers @xevekiah I'm unclear what your point is Could you maybe take a deep breath and try to express your point more clearly Who is it do you think has the power to arrest a sitting US president?

@wheellock @xevekiah Yes they do retard. Its that thet bent over and let him shove the constitution up their asses and they liked it. Fuck you traitor

@djtimm @xevekiah How about James Comey lying about Clinton's emails in 2016 to get Trump elected the first time?

@xevekiah Show us the tape. Or STFU. You sound like Schiff announcing proof of Trump colluding with Russia to beat Hillary. When Schiff was asked under oath if he had seen such smoking gun evidence, he answered "No".

@BuckeyeFanatic0 @xevekiah This isn't proof, but it is evidence that would warrant an investigation if the subject was anyone other than Trump The previous administration having access to these files is unlikely to be true, unless the Biden admin departed from the way the DoJ has traditionally worked

Because there isn't such proof. Just understand this...if there was proof, the last administration would have had it and would have used it already. The Epstein Files were not "found" recently, they were in the possession of the DoJ. If any such evidence existed, Trump would already have been in jail.

@xevekiah Even once Trump is no longer president, he's still rich enough and has enough powerful friends so that he'll likely never face justice for his numerous crimes

@xevekiah Ted Lieu doesn't have the power to arrest Donald Trump No one right now has the power to arrest Trump, no matter what he does or did We would have to remove Trump from power first, and we can't even manage that

@hardee_ty @MadelaineLucyH A, B, C, & D have all agreed to share medicine if any of them gets sick, and now A gets sick: the state doesn't "seize resources" from B, C, & D to help A, it executes the contract that they all agreed to

@hardee_ty @MadelaineLucyH If the state exists at all (and I'm of the opinion they shouldn't), then the state should be viewed as a voluntary collusion

I know how Elon Musk thinks because I've known so many of his type over the years. If Person A is sick and Person B,C,D are not, Person A should be left to die because it's unfair that B,C,D should have to share resources. If Country A has a surplus and Country B is starving, Country B should be left to starve because they have failed as a state. If Company A can make an extra 0.5% profit by impoverishing 50,000 families, then Company A should make the extra 0.5% profit. To him it's not about morality, it's about you being a weak idiot for not understanding 'rationalism'.

@MadelaineLucyH I don't know anything about how Musk thinks (for all I know, he doesn't) My question is: should A, B, C, and D work out for themselves how to distribute a scare resource like medicine, or should a fifth party like E come along and force a certain distribution?
