    Yeah... and this conspiracy is such a well kept secret that not a SINGLE one of them has ever written a book desccribing how this "process" works. Or maybe these are journalists who don't know how to write.

    You appear to be close to joining the group of posters who can't comment on anything without making up some baseless conspiracy theory. You are more than free to do that. But be aware that those of us who are here for serious debates already KNOW all your conspiracy arguments. They all boil down to "anything that displeases the lord Trump is a conspiracy". Do you actually expect us to take them seriously?

    Posters who make a claim AND show evidence (please read my sig!) are worth exchanging ideas with. The rest are just here... for amusement purposes. But not for serious debates.

    How can anyone possibly offer a serious debate when defending the Democratic Party? Accept your loss and learn from it.

    Not any where near as coy and evasive as Harris' declining to state how she voted on CA's law and order proposition mitigating the earlier proposition that greatly eased criminal prosecutions that she supported. Why would Trump's view on the Fla abortion proposition help any voter to decided who to vote for as president? He has clearly stated that constitutionally the federal government and the president have little if any say on abortion. Harris claims she does have the power, and consistently lies about Trump's position.

    You need a new dictionary, and probably a new forum. As for the Pledge of Allegiance, it was only after people started questioning that very long-standing tradition that the left lost their frickin' minds! Cutting off 12-year-old kid's junk, all the pronoun nonsense, pushing communism in American (!) classrooms!!! No, whatever you want, we should do the EXACT opposite.

    Classic projection.

    I hated the pledge even when I was a kid. Its massively creepy to anyone not indoctrinated...I seem to be immune.

    Communism you need to look up in your new dictionary.

    Pronoun nonsense...agreed.

    No idea about the boy, but probably in agreement there.

    Its almost funny you are sticking to the "free reporter" line and trying to call me out for not showing evidence. IDK. Maybe you been asleep for 20 years and the names Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and Bradley Manning mean nothing to you.

    And I am sure that Michael Hastings just met with an "accident" as reported. I suppose you need a link to that one. Maybe even one for Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. Chris Hedges and Scott Ritter didn't just get cancelled...their whole platform got cancelled. Scott has been getting harassed with crap charges.

    And I am sure this is just "conspiracy theory" cause no one dropped a book about it into your lap yet. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...an-activist-journalist-fired-ap-b1852245.html

    So sorry about that guy. I thought everybody and their dead dog had a clue what was going on. But yeah, I can see it might be a bit hard to grasp if one still thinks the good ole boys who own all the major media are just happy go lucky chill dudes whose only desire is to get the truth out there. Snort.

    You clearly haven’t negotiated much. If at all.

    I agree that anybody who has not accepted they lost cannot be taken seriously. But the ONLY ones who haven't accepted their loss are MAGAs. Tell me... did you or did you not lose in 2020? If you say no, by YOUR OWN reasoning, you cannot be taken seriously.

    No no no.... That is complete nonsense. You're saying that Tucker Carlson was fired by Rupert Murdoch for not being biased????

    THIS is what you said...

    By which you are claiming that they are FORCED to be biased. That might happen in Fox, i don't know. But not in REAL news media. But then you provide a link to an article about a reporter who was fired for BEING biased.

    From your link:
    "The young reporter recently fired by the Associated Press says her termination was part of a broader pattern of censorship against pro-Palestine reporters."​

    Different individual media has different policies. But these policies are not some sort of "hidden agenda". They are known, written and taught to their reporters. YOU were claiming that reporters are fired for NOT being biased.

    Furthermore, if this were true, it would need to be a "conspiracy" among ALL the MSM. Otherwise, what each reports would be different.


    So, bottom line.... if you can't SUBSTANTIATE your wild claims (that reporters in ALL MSM are forced to be biased IS a wild claim and a conspiracy theory) with REAL facts.... Which means fact that DO address and confirm your claim, how can we expect to take you seriously?

    It's nothing personal. But please understand that a poster who is going to use some hidden "conspiracy theory" to dismiss any FACT that is provided to them... what expectation could there be of a serious debate with somebody who does that? There are dozens of posters like that in this forum. And most of us don't want to waste our time taking seriously posters who are not going to contribute anything useful.

    You are new in this forum, and now have a chance to demonstrate that you can be considered among serious posters who provide serious arguments. Please don't blow it!

    It's your choice, though....

    We lost in 2020, we learned from it the last 4 years and we came back stronger and won large November 6.

    This post is one of the worst deflections I've read today. Surely you can actually address what I posted that hit the spot?

    Who needs to look in a dictionary?! Read Karl Marx who is the father of communism. Being such an expert on communism you should have known that.

    Democrats beat themselves badly. You need new leaders who aren’t anti American.

    We simply overwhelmed Democrats with votes. Cheating was impossible. We beat you at your own game of voting early. Republicans simply out smarted Democrats which wasn’t hard to do.

    That is a possibility. I will have my America back if I decide to leave this beautiful Island.

    Trump just revealed his true self. Not sure he can be bothered to answer any questions about abortion. as not sure he cares. It is a hot issue...that is complicated and he would rather simply avoid it. Now that he is "secure" in his win..... he does not have to sell, persuade, or convince anyone to vote for him. It is very likely that he has no real intelligent position on "reproduction" . His main thing is THE WIN. and because it was resounding....... his bragging of same is paramount. Now he wants to be fawned over..as opposed to being questioned.
    His nastiness is there for the world to see. Diplomats shudder at his attitude and comments.
    He seems to have an issue with "freedom of the press" as well as "freedom of speach" ( responsible )

    Trump’s view on abortion is unimportant. What he did by giving the states the right to vote on it is what matters. My guess is Trump is pro-choice.

    Trump gave the people the choice to decide. It’s irrelevant where he stands but if I had to guess he is pro-choice. Trump is a New York liberal at heart and I don’t mean today’s confused liberal.

    Projection. Nothing I said there is incorrect, you just want to disagree.

    This began with you saying:
    I replied:

    And you insist I substantiate it? Why have I not demanded you substantiate your claim do you think?

    Well, its because I don't demand the impossible. What is in people's heads cannot be directly substantiated, and the degree of freedom journalists have is largely in their heads, the heads of their bosses, and operatives of the deep state, and some others. But no credible person would ever claim they had 100 percent freedom ie, they can say whatever the hell they want. And they certainly would not demand direct substantiated proof that the stated reason for a firing is a lie, since that would require mind reading.

    Any reasonable person would have been happy with the list of famous names I mentioned as evidence enough that failing to toe the lines comes with hard consequences dropped from above.

    But if you want to pursue it further, you can take it up these people who also cannot directly substantiate what they say either, even though its perfectly obvious its true:

    Just think...you could be the first to take issue with them and their "wild claims" and "conspiracy theories".

    Dictionaries offer concise definitions. I am not seeing a concise definition of this communism that we have been speaking of, something which DentalFloss claimed is being pushed in American classrooms (while simultaneously a fascist flag pledge?)

    But hey, if you want to jump between us, that fine. But if you are not going flesh out this claim of communism pushed in American classrooms I am going to ask you nicely to please step aside.
