To be honest, having a hard time finding the motivation to go vote. I will get up and go do it .... but I understand why some people don't in states like Tennessee. The cake is baked in our state.

Because if your candidate loses and it ruins our society you want to be able to tell your children that you tried.

Can anyone make this make a little sense for me? I am being genuine, I promise. My entire life you have Election Day and you go to bed knowing who the president is. The end. This was even with antiquated voting strategies. Here we are today already being groomed by every major news source that “results will take a few days to be counted and delivered.” Everyone just accepts this as the norm as if they have short term memory loss. This has never been a thing. Why now?

Lolol. Also see below.

I don’t know what any of this is supposed to mean. As best I can tell, it seems completely irrelevant due to your forgetting about the start of the discussion. If you want to coherently rewrite it, I don’t mind to address it then.


Then: has to stand up in court.
Now: lawyerly semantics to ask for something more statutorily precise than collusion.


Then: Witch hunt.
Now: they looked into it and let it go because “what difference does it make”

Then: Russian nonsense, full of lies. Totally made up long enough for everybody to buy the BS.
Now: “But they hired a foreign guy to do oped!!!!!!!1!!!(one)!!!111

“I cAn’t reMemBeR eveR whiNinG bEforE…”

Then: bad to punish people for crimes they didn’t commit.
Now: we should punish people for crimes that don’t exist.

Then: important to draw distinctions.
Now: distinctions are lawyerly semantics.

“I cAn’t reMemBeR eveR whiNinG bEforE…”

Then: bad to punish people for crimes they didn’t commit.

Poor baby Trump and his double standard.

“I cAn’t reMemBeR eveR whiNinG bEforE…”


Then: stuff has to rise to a high enough level to bring a case.
Now: “but they hired a foreign guy to do oppo research!”

Then: if our laws are too broad we should ignore them.
Now: foreign agent means whatever I want it to mean.

“I cAn’t reMemBeR eveR whiNinG bEforE…”

Then: important to question the line between questionable and legal.
Now: lawyerly semantics.

Pretty sure that’s just from one relatively short thread about the Mueller report, didn’t event bother to find the Trumputingate thread or to look up what you said about the multiple cases that have been brought, including the one where he was convicted by a jury.

I especially like the one about an overbroad definition of obstruction “murdering any version of America I want to live in” juxtaposed with your current crying about me trying to get you to rely on a fixed definition of foreign agent.

It’s the biggest group of hypocrites on the planet when they talk about protecting democracy. It’s their party trying to buy votes by letting the whole damn world into the country for the past 4 years . Or constantly fantasizing about abolishing the electoral college or packing the courts. Nobody is more FOS than a liberal talking about protecting democracy bc a bunch of idiots stormed the Capitol on January 6th.

The list of anti democracy on the left is extensive. The most egregious example is their attempts to remove Trump from the ballot. They didn't even want to give voters the chance to vote for him

The Democrats should have the sour grapes. I would be livid if my party's nominee was replaced, and I was just told to accept/support that person. It's literally fascism at its finest. It feels like free-thinking and dignity left the Democratic Party some time back.

The standards expectation is a individual reflection of the person.

Just to show how much the political landscape has changed in Tennessee over the last 30 years ....

Does anyone remember what Robert Dole's last campaign stop was in 1996?
Cotton Eye'd Joe's country/dance nightclub off Lovell RD in west Knoxville the night before the election. No $hit.

Also, George W. Bush was in east Tennessee the day before the 2000 Presidential Election. The votes of Tennesseans mattered back then.

I didn't say it was .... it looks like a way to offset loopholes.

A lot of horrible policy reasons for this.

Factor in the almost certainty that $100M will eventuality be reduced to a fraction of that and it's even worse.

Im all for closing carried interest loopholes and to eliminate preferences in the tax code. Ive been pretty consistent this cycle in voicing displeasure to adding more preferences (whether from DJT or KH)....

They matter now too. I don’t really care if politicians campaign here or not
