oh you're the guy that has a massive hard on for Walz, then when pressed for facts about your gripes, you posted completely incorrect info. you may live in Minnesota, but you don't live in reality.
WTF dude? What I posted was correct. Skimpy was the one who used a different metric for the wrong state. Even by the metric Skimpy used, MN is still high of the list of tax burdens.

Indeed, the facts were presented to him two months ago and then he still said it's Walz's fault (post # 981). 🤣

I guess maybe this? Granted being an adjudicated sexual abuser and notorious sex pest for half a century isn't exactly breaking news about Trump generally.

I don't think a groping story from 1993 will cut it. If there's a video from something recent that CLEARLY shows Trump groping - that's something else, and even then might change things only very slightly.

From NYTimes, billionaire owner of the L.A. Times refuses to allow its editorial board to recommend voting for Kamala Harris. Head of editorial board resigns in protest.

The head of The Los Angeles Times’s editorial board resigned on Wednesday after the paper’s owner quashed a presidential endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris.

In an interview with The Columbia Journalism Review, Mariel Garza, who held the title editorials editor, said she had quit because “I want to make it clear that I am not OK with us being silent. In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.”

Ms. Garza said the editorial board had planned to endorse Ms. Harris, but Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the billionaire owner of The Los Angeles Times, decided this month that the newspaper would not make any endorsement for president. The paper did not explain to readers why it was not issuing an endorsement.

Even if there's video of him groping a minor in the very recent past, I would not expect it to make a real difference.
I mean that’s just getting disgusting at that point if so. We all know the cult followers would excuse it away as edited/fake even if it is overwhelming concluded that it wasn’t. The entire GOP would/will fall in line immediately. I really don’t think there is a bottom to the depravity that they’d excuse and deflect away. Brian Kilmeade was literally doing it today on Fox “News” deflecting Kelly’s comments that Trump is campaigning and is indeed a far-right authoritarian /fascist. I’m sure anyone in the GOP as a representative or as a talking head, will do the exact same thing.

What has proven otherwise? Nothing. All those on the right who admonished him for Jan 6 (McCarthy, McConnell, Graham, etc.) has come back to his side, tail between their legs like the little bitches they are. Most of the real patriots on the right have spoken out already, but unfortunately a lot of that has fallen on deaf ears. Because the people who should be listening, either like this new fascism, are apathetic to it, or are just plain stupid.
I just saw in a video in that twitter link thread, Trump saying "you see that girl going up the escalator, I'm going to be dating her in ten years." Not exactly pedophilia but certainly characteristic of his lack of character.
Yeah that’s quite old news at this point. Can’t remember when I heard that exactly but it was a while ago. It yet another thing gone down the memory hole/baked in to the depravity.

That’s pretty pathetic. If you can’t give your editors and writers an explanation for something that’s pretty typical. It’s such an easy case to make it.

Did you hit your head this morning?
Democrats and their voters are not like MAGA.
You think too highly of people.
Anyone not already dedicated to defeating MAGA is not going to be swayed by reason.

If you truly understand MAGA for the Nazi movement that it is, there is no reason to hold back or play nice with them. Today we fight them in the political arena. To determine the shape of the battlefield tomorrow. What starts with voting will end in blood.

So? I saw it before. I saw it again tonight embedded in the thread linked here. I'm sure not everyone checking this thread has seen it. Trump's the same creep, only getting more and more unhinged.

False retort. I have often said the electorate is dumb as rocks. I don't generally think highly of people at all.

OTOH to defeat the fascists, we don't need to become the fascists. We aren't talking about playing nice. You're literally saying we should fake kompramat if that's what it takes to defeat Trump.

Why even have a free and fair election if the end justifies the means? Can't Joe Biden just declare Kamala Harris as dictator and execute a military coup? /s

We all understand the stakes here and it's fine if you say it's long past time to throw away the kid gloves and fight likes our lives depend on it. But most of us don't believe in lying, cheating or stealing. Nor taking arms to the streets as your war and blood rhetoric seems to suggest.

I’m not really addressing anything in your previous conversation in those replies. However, my thinking is that perhaps he is more concerned with the fact that Trump would have pretty much completely unchecked power if he were to become elected. And once that happens all hands are off as to what happens next.
