[Robin]

Everyone has a theory!
Here is mine.
Rome fell because they were no longer Romans.
Republicans fell because they were no longer republicans.
America.......................
Well, you get the idea. those are facts, what caused them to be non entities(?), well, thats theoretical.

You can call it theoretical, I call it factual. The GOP has acknowledged the problem. Now whether or not they do anything is a different story… that’s a theory.

In the context of what I said, your post makes no sense.

Interesting they don’t release how many voted, just the number registered. Just saying.

I’m sure it happens, we all know it does, but to what extent?

I do not think people should use this a general rule for why we lost, especially in NYS. I have seen this stated many places this is why Hochuls won, but we so blue here it’s insane to think that.

Yes we have seen all the fraud back in 2020. Nothing is going to be done about any of the fraud today either! No Justice for virtually anything. All exposure yes, accountability? Nope. Maybe bits and peices here and there but nothing to amount to anything. I even question the actual numbers of illegals getting exported. Millions flooded over here? It would take decades to find them and round them up.

Trump said this in the interview. What does 60 minutes have to do with this? That is his exact quote in the video. All I did was watch the video and paste his words.

What does 60 Minutes have to do with this?

CBS's 60 Minutes has faced backlash over its editing practices on several high profile interviews, involving VP Harris and President Trump just for a couple of examples.

Then there's this... CBS faced backlash after an edit replaced a question by Major Garrett with a voiceover implying Netanyahu's role in the war, reshaping Hegseth's answer.

CBS News is Fake News Media and is not a trusted news source. CBS is one of the worst offenders. That's all I'm saying. They are known to deceptively splice and rearrange video clips. The Kamala Harris interview is a good example of CBS's editing practices that cross the line into distorting the speakers' original meaning... That is - Fake News.

 

[Bigfoot]

It’s a direct quote, though taken out of context.

^ This ^

 

[Bigfoot]

CBS News is known to be the worst of the worst. And when considering the rest of the Fake News Media major players. That's really bad, CBS News can not be trusted, even if watching a video. As there is a good chance the video has been edited, not for time constraints, but to change the perception. They've been caught doing that time and time again.

The Fake News Media can't be hated enough. IMO

My uncle, in NY and in his 70s now, has an anti AR-15 sign on his fridge but owns a mini-14.

Brainwashing works.

I just laugh every time I’m there.

Zero is your Uncle?

Nobody with even one foot in the real world thinks this is going to be good for the economy.

You need to escape your news bubble before reality slaps you in the face.

The economy *was* doing very well, despite all the media trying desperately to convince the rubes who still listen to them that it wasn't.

The market closed one quarter of one percent lower yesterday than it did on election night. Do you want to update your post?

Isn't the national debt up >10% in < 2 years? Yep.

Haven't average gas prices now been higher under trump than under Biden? Yep, and that will keep getting worse.

Aren't prices on all consumer good still skyrocketing? Yep. Yep, yep, and yep.

The stock market has been on a bull run which I've enjoyed, but the bottom 90% of Americans' economic situation has significantly deteriorated over the past two years, and trump calls these complaints of affordability a hoax, and is very happy about how much oil companies are making because of the iran war (don't take my word for it he literally said it!).

 

[Blimey]

The popular opinion is that the war with Iran and the resulting high gas prices sank the Republicans. People say that was the main reason the Democrats won big time.

The shellacking has happened and there's no changing that. So I figure at this point. Might as well bomb certain parts of Michigan and Minnesota too.


Sarcasm - Maybe, but maybe not...

Do you actually want to know why the republicans suffered the worst midterm loss in generations? I mean do you genuinely and truly want to know? Are you able to read it without tourettes about TDS kicking in? This guy lists the reasons.

This is why: Resign, Mr President

I’m seeing lots of Medicare for all posts in a lot of places. Get ready to get bent over. I know I’ll lose a small fortune because mines is great and cheap.
All I know is the government never does anything good or cheap.

Al-sayed says Michigan is the capital of Arab America. Let that one sink in. This dude is scary.
