    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    In unrelated news, and speaking of Scott Adams, the internet is an amazing place.

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    While I more than agree with the point in general, some exceptions are in order. Somebody like @camberiu, who does argue his points on a regular basis - dare I say well, even when I disagree - I am willing to listen to stuff they suggest is worth my time (=link) as well. Even if I find myself...

    Agreed. We can agree, I imagine, both on the good intentions behind that move as well as that it backfired. Again agreed. One of the few positive things Trump may have accomplished is simply moving the Overton window in terms of how much he was willing to let the relationship with China...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    I simply asked where you draw the line. As you noted, the US was not attacked in the European theater. So I asked you what made WWII defensible. We can certainly opine about whether a given war was ill-considered, or even most for that matter. But you don’t go into that level of detail. You say...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    I skimmed over rather than read the article you linked, firstly because Ms. Johnstone has always struck me as slightly unhinged at least, and secondly because I do not dispute the premise that Biden is not at all a Chinese puppet. I am not sure what is your point there. It is indisputable that...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    Curious as to what shape would a government that you support have. What part of Biden’s Cabinet picks offend you? What policies are what you consider “the great racketeering scheme”? Is just foreign policy? Do I understand that any US engagement abroad is a racket? Were American lives on the...

    It did hit 80 million. The final count is more than 80M for Biden.

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    At the risk of sounding brusque, I am not interested in “another point of view”. I gave you mine - actually written, rather than just links to others’ crap - and you are free to respond or ignore. Just flooding the zone with shit will not cut it. Too Trumpy. Particularly when the “other point...

    Here is the deal with Russiagate. I hesitate to write about this because I do not want the focus shifted to this. The overarching issue with Russia is the circumstantial evidence. There is just too much smoke - undisputable smoke - for there not to be fire. Here is what is not in dispute...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    Arguing, essentially, that Gov Kemp (R-GA) took massive bribes to let Dominion rig Georgia's ballot tabulators using hack technology provided by the CIA to Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and that's only one part of a conspiracy involving "many thousands", including Barr's DOJ. My take is that is not...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    This is true but also misses the point, in a big way. Which opens the gate for takes like this one: The salient point - and the one worth repeating - is not that they haven’t proved voter fraud. There are a lot of things in life that you can’t prove with absolute certainty, and but for which...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    Spot on, all of this. In fact, multiple bills to beef up election security were passed by the House; they all died in the Senate, where Mitch McConnell refused to even take them up. If there was a scintilla of evidence that fraud anywhere near the alleged scale was taking place, of course Bill...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    When you’ve lost Tucker Carlson, you’re in trouble. He says they asked her for evidence to support her election fraud claims, but “she never sent us any evidence despite a lot of requests, polite requests, not a page. “When we kept pressing she got angry and told us to stop contacting her.”

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    There is the formality, and there is reality. The reality is not only that in modern US history, never has the US government - or anyone else for that matter - waited until the electoral college to meet before assuming who the next president will be, but that the law explicitly endorses this...

    You remind me of an old Russian joke. Loosely translated: Question: Is it true that Professor Stapleton won $100,000 in the lottery? Answer: 1. It wasn’t Stapleton, it was Baskerville. 2. He isn’t a professor, he fixes shoes. 3. It wasn’t $100,000, it was $100. 4. It wasn’t the lottery, it was...

    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    Lost in all this is that the same people that bash the media calling election results, exult - and tweet out the AP confirmation - when it’s in their favor. That the same people deriding the election results as fraudulent, have no objection to the Senate results that worked out in their favor...
