I hope everyone can listen to this link. For all intents and purposes, this should signal the end of Trump.

I agree with Bryan Tyler Cohen. One of the strongest confirmations that a particular, scandalous story is true, is Trump insistence it is a hoax or fake news. Sandra Huckabee Sanders also calling it a hoax, only further added to the credence of the story. She is nearly as discreditable as Trump himself.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Does anyone think or know if when we vote in a Presidential election that data is compiled that indicates if you voted for a Presidential candidate that is not running for the party you're registered with? I've done that many times regardless of what party I was registered with/as but never have thought of asking if that information is actually collected, compiled or used as an actual indicator if folks are voting outside their own party. In other words, voting trends.

Any ideas about that?
I don't know for sure because I've never worked on a campaign, but I do have an idea. If they have access to that data, they will store it.

But my suspicion is that most of that kind of data is derived from exit polling and extrapolated over the population.
I officially pulled my ass out of and away from the Republican party. Changed my voter registration to unaffiliated. I want nothing to do with the GOP not even on paper. Especially on paper. Imma gone.

I listened to this. It was compelling and in character for Trump.

This man breaks my heart and stores my faith in humankind at the same time. He shares so much wisdom. He has so much internal strength. Trump's only strength is a loud mouth and even at that, it's just noise.

Also, note how ____ subgenius responds. Doesn’t give a flying ____ what Trump has said, now verified, watch Jersey Girl’s video clip, and instead kvetches about a supposed gotcha. It’s not a goddamn gotcha. It’s been ____ out front, on tape, on tv, on Twitter, in front of aides, for the world to see. Instead subgenius acts like the opposing team just got away with a roughing the passer non-call. ____ Christ. I’ll never believe another Republican cares about this country, its veterans, again.

Some days what I read on this forum sickens me as much or more than what I read on the news every day. The apathy and ignorance really disappoints.
I don't think it's much of a mystery why these guys act this way. They have everything it takes: they have no problem lying (they seem to actually enjoy it, in fact), they can't think for themselves, and believe their idiotic gut feelings over what evidence really suggests. Liars of a feather flock together. They don't open their mouths to argue; they only have lies to remind you they stopped thinking. I don't listen to what they have to say because it's coming from a place of nonsense. You can't defend Trump without lying. That was true on 2015 and it hasn't changed.

No Trump supporter will ever enjoy credibility again (with normal people) until they renounce Trump, and even then, they've likely tarnished their reputations permanently. I can tell you this: if I have any inkling someone is a Trump supporter, I will not do business or associate with them in any way. They've lost the required trust. To be a Trump supporter, something serious must be wrong with them, an irredeemable defect. I have no time for worthless people, and if you can't be trusted, you're worthless.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

To quote the ever present Hillary Clinton, "What difference does it make?"

And don't get me wrong, im not asking that you dismiss how offended you have been by Trump's statements or behaviors. But rather, im asking you what real impact this, or any of your other countless grievances from the past 44 months, has on the relevant policies and procedures from that branch of government?
...
zilch
...
Its like H Bush not liking broccoli and banning it from the White House, its an irrelevant characteristic.

So, yes, people like me who you have incessantly insulted, trilled, and denigrated since 2006 don't really care about your sensibilities being offended because we primarily care about the substance and not the style. We are typically people that do not subscribe to the cult of presidency that so many of you held dear from 2008 to 2016.
So, if you expect me to suddenly drink the Biden Kool-Aid because Trump insulted the myth of John McCain then prepare to be disappointed. What Trump says about "The Maverick " amounts to diddly squat when i experience the policies of the Trump administration.

Schmo speaking of disassociating... I don't know if you saw my post on the previous page. It was a reply to you. Here's a repost of my comments:

I couldn't leave my name on the voting rolls that way. I figure if I happen to come down with Covid and it dicks me away, then that'll have to suffice as my 2020 vote.

Who did you vote for in last five or six presidential elections?
