    You’re truly hysterical. Biden is the de facto president. Has been since November. He is the only national leader we have had since then.

    Rupert "Empire Builder" Murdock and Trump fell out, thus FOX calling Arizona for Biden which absolutely "Outraged" the dear leader. Fox has been backing away ever since. Even had that absolute clown 'Tucker Carlson" back off.

    Murdock showed Trump who was in control then Trump started his 'My own network gig" with OAN or the like. You don't do that to the Australian Fascist.

    Kind of like FSU vs Miami - Can't lose in such a match-up.

    Personally I think Murdock is even worse than Trump and would be pleased to see that Propaganda Machine wiped from the face of the earth.

    For the record, Trump wasn’t duly elected. But granting that for argument, there is no legal dictate anywhere that any private business has to give any elected official any special treatment or consideration as a customer.

    Of course these idiots get caught up in the details. The argument itself is BS. FACTS:
    1. Trump has lied incessantly about election fraud since the primaries in 2016.
    2. Trump called on senators to object to the EC certification
    3. Trump had a rally on 1/6 & invited his followers.
    4. Trump Jr. tweeted threats to those who did not stand for his father over the constitution
    5. Trump publicly pleaded with Pence to thwart the constitution
    6. Trump, the leader of the executive branch, told the rally crowd to pressure the legislative branch.

    Who ever invaded the capital, it is on Trump.

    Libtard General Mattis on trump. Posted on the ultra-liberal website Military.com so take it with a grain of salt.
    He nails it. Not only does he accurately describe the legacy of trump's enablers, but I think he also referred to trump as a stain. Maybe not, but that is how i read it.
    This is so obviously the truth but maybe people will again attack Chaos for not being a patriot.

    Former SecDef Jim Mattis Denounces Pro-Trump 'Violent Assault' on US Capitol

    "Today's violent assault on our Capitol, an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule, was fomented by Mr. Trump," Jim Mattis said in a statement provided to Military.com. "His use of the Presidency to destroy trust in our election and to poison our respect for fellow citizens has been enabled by pseudo political leaders whose names will live in infamy as profiles in cowardice."
    "Our Constitution and our Republic will overcome this stain and We the People will come together again in our never-ending effort to form a more perfect Union, while Mr. Trump will deservedly be left a man without a country," he said.

    Wow, THANKS.

    ummm - lol about "libtard Mattis" - I caught that.

    Just thank GOD, THANK GOD, the military didn't get swept up in the Trump Corruption machine. (At least that I know of)

    I am incredibly proud and relieved that the Military Services kept their head.
    My personal take is Trump was 'rebuffed" when he approached the military to participate in his "Coup" and while I have no proof that, whom would doubt that he attempted it??

    That's why things got so sideways with Trump and the Military, think he was told to "Piss Off"

    The Cubanos that came in the late 50's and early 60's were the ones con dinero. I grew up in Coral Springs in the 80s, and their kids were mi maestras de Espanol, and I went to school con los ninos. Most already had family in the area. The ones who came after, including the Murial boat lift, were the desperate and poor, and as already pointed out, aren't doing so well in comparison. Nice try, but another fail.

    As for comparing the Capitol Coup Attempt to the BLM protests, I'll sum it up this way. John Lewis said you need to sometimes make good trouble. I believe the majority of the BLM protests were an attempt at just that. Did they all go as planned? Things rarely do. Did things sometimes get out of hand and end in violence. Regrettably, yes. And I do not condone the violence, and everyone who participated in the violence should be arrested and punished.

    The Capitol Coup Attempt had nothing good. It was just trouble. It was seditious idiots, riled up by the President himself, in an attempt to delay the inauguration of the next, duly elected President Elect. It was bound to go south and end up in bloodshed. It's what many of them wanted. We were lucky not more ended up dead, and even more lucky that every Senator, Congressperson, and Vice President Pence all ended up unharmed, and able to complete their duties later on in the day.

    Sometimes, trouble can be good and righteous. But on Jan 6, that was just plain stupidity and trouble just for the sake of trouble.

    That is such a damned lie.

    Cubans throughout Miami who came in the 60s came with nothing. Absolutely nothing. And they made it. How do I know that? Because that's my community. That's my family. These are the stories of the families of many of my friends. They could not bring anything with them to the United States, they had to start from scratch. And they made it.

    So I'd suggest you read a little more and talk with people who lived it before talking out of your rear end.

    I personally know someone who came to the US within the last twenty years, and managed to pay off his house by running a business.

    I trust my own eyes over your BS.

    For sure Doc - West Virginia has been hit as hard as any state first with
    Purdue Pharma passing out 60's like they they were M&M's, then Covid.

    Should be putting in the work to help his district and not support Coup attempts.

    Over 270 electoral votes were cast for him, so I don’t really know what other metric you would prefer to use.

    For your second point, I of course agree. I said that I don’t mind them enforcing their own rules, but I appreciate their policy of letting presidents have a wide latitude, as I’d like for us to know what is going on in Trump’s mind.
