    History without context is for IDIOTS! It’s like blaming Bush for 9/11, which Democrats ALSO did. Anyone with a brain understands there was nothing Trump could have done to prevent what has happened. It is a world pandemic not limited to our country. Thank China.

    Just know. Individual states have performed differently and Democrat run states and cities are the ones burning due to their policy that has NOTHING to do with Trump. Leftists are purposely burning down the country so people like YOU can say, “derp, derp, on Trumps watch, derp derp”.

    Considering Leftists are rewriting history any chance they can get, there might not be anything to remember. We’re all just racists aren’t we? If only
    White people weren’t around things would be so much better. Just look at Africa and what a successful example of prosperity it has been. Oiy.

    Not really avoiding the topic....I just don't have anything that hasn't already been expressed.
    IMHO, I don't really think tRump will leave quietly. He would sooner see all his militant tRump supporters
    start a civil war than to abide by the laws of this country.
    And in my "not so humble" opinion....I view tRump as a danger to this planet.
    Go Bears!!!

    Just wanted to pop a note to my fellow Virginian... We took your advice (sort of) and whole family voted early this AM.

    Very good experience... moved very fast (maybe 10 mins tops, discounting travel time) and still reasonably crowded, even after 12 days of early voting...

    The poor lady handing out the sample Republican ballot looked awfully lonely...

    :)

    Didn't New York just take 6 weeks to tabulate its ballots? I wouldn't call it a disaster, but that ballot operation definitely wasn't good.

    They look exactly like the ballot being given out. They're neither Dem or Rep.

    I agree, Trump is a Troll "Trump is an internet troll"-- Rush Limbaugh

    since you have admitted that Trump is troll, the joke's on you.

    Incompetent rebuttal; thought-terminating clichés

    Incompetent rebuttals are arguments where the salient premise is based on: [highlighted pertains to your comment]
    non arguments, a non argument isn't really debatable or they are not worthy of debate owing to any of the following types noting the fact they all have one thing in common--they lack sufficient dignity worthy of a response, they come in many different flavors, especially those which contain vacuous declarations and/or allegations (which cannot be substantiated, i.e., 'making stuff up'), rebuttals rife with weasel words ( improper use of generalities such as 'some people are saying' 'everyone knows' 'well-established fact'.) ad hominems, loaded terms & phrases,, off topic/irrelevant deflections, sentiments (words that reveal emotional attitude devoid of fact, logic and reason) off point arguments/deflections (off point is a sibling to off topic, where off topic is attempting to highjack the thread. It's done a lot in internet forums, and if the person to whom you directed the topic change accepts it, then you're off into a new direction, but, as such, of course, doesn't refute the original premise offered), egregious strawman arguments, egregious cynicism, off-the-charts ill-logic, 'kill the messenger" tactics, i.e., attacking the person presenting the argument rather than the argument, itself ( the only time kill the messenger is valid is for a well-established discredited source, such as Alex Jones, David Duke, etc, ), childish remarks, trivialising your opponent's argument -- cheap shot, childish or sophomoric comments/logic arising from ignorance (for example, NYTimes is a 'radical leftist rag' -- that's a remark born out of ignorance, it's also an 'kill the messenger' tactic) and then there is the classic thought-terminating cliché; these are cult-tropes, born out of groups who have a demagogue leader who is the master of implanting them in his flock. See, the demagogue doesn't like dissent, so when anyone challenges someone in his flock, he, being a master mind manipulator, will have planted a number of thought-terminating clichés into the minds of his subjects ( via repetition) so they will toss it up to the opponent in an attempt to kill the conversation ( wrongfully thinking it improves their argument ) so TTCs are simple terms catch phrases or words whose sole purpose is, to kill the conversation, such as 'TDS' "NeverTrumper" "Leftist Loony" "Triggered"(noting that the terms are not necessarily devised by the demagogue himself, they could be created by other believers, or have already been around and adopted by and they catch on with the group ) etc., pithy aphorisms assumed to be always true ( aphorisms exist because empirical observations tend to be true, but cannot be used as the salient premise to refute an argument as they are not, nor cannot be, absolute), last, but not least, and a significant debate sin, is posturing; posturing type comments, come in two basic categories, one is where you flaunt, i.e, for example, your military service, but of course if the argument can be improved by your qualifications of expertise in a field, that is okay, what I mean is something like 'I served while you were dodging the draft" whereupon your service doesn't improve your argument about whether dodging the draft was moral, or not, or flaunting your education, or authority of some kind, unless it's pertinent to the argument, and the other type of posturing are those comments which are motivated by puffing oneself up, and this is done by shaming, belittling, mocking, patronizing, 'mansplaining', flaming, where one talks down to ones opponent in order to puff oneself up.

    Well yeah. Trump is the quintessential snake oil salesmen.

    Most of those don't do well if they haven't mastered the art of "baffle then with bs"

    Where I live the sample ballots have nothing filled in. It just shows the names of those running and any bills that made it onto it. If you have questions then ask the person handing them out. They do not try to influence you by pointing to any particular name or "yes/no" vote. Same thing for the last two states that I lived in.

    The people of Virginia are so uninformed they can't figure out what R and D by a name means wow. I've lived in 6 different states and never seen of a sample Rep and Dem ballot. Very telling though.
