    I am quite impressed with Trump's decision to insult Bruce Springsteen in front of a New Jersey crowd, by pretending that his crowd was much larger than a typical Springsteen crowd. Takes quite a bit of political skill to come up with that idea. Or a loose cannon for a mouth and no filter between his tiny brain and his big mouth. He's probably lucky his crowd was so small, as most of them might have decided then and there to vote for Biden. In addition, Trump also introduced two former New Your Giants football players in front of the south Jersey crowd, which was more pro-Eagles and anti-Giants.

    At this rate, Biden won't have to campaign at all: he can just let Trump campaign for him. One state down, 49 to go . . .

    Trump claims in Wildwood his crowds are bigger than 'wacko' Bruce Springsteen crowds

    Trump blasted by Springsteen fans as taunts star about crowd size at rally
    If Trump wants to compare himself to Bruce Springsteen we should ask the question how large would his crowd be if his red hat wearing fans had to pay $100 plus per ticket (and frequently several hundred dollars) to see him? Fair question if he wants to make the comparison.

    Pence is a one issue voter. He will not vote for the candidate who tried to have him murdered on 1/6.

    The voir dire process in court to seat jurors is driven by the defense and prosecution attorneys, not the judge. Also, Democrats should avoid criming in red states and MAGAts should avoid criming in blue states if they want a jury predisposed to their acquittal.

    more chickens coming home to roost. Write off big losses n a building, move the ownership to a different LLC, and then write off the loss again. Standard accounting practices in trump world or how not to pay taxes by cheating 101?? Wonder if this was in the syllabus at Trump U

    Loss in IRS audit fight over Chicago tower could cost Trump $100 million–plus (msn.com)

    Former President Donald Trump may face an IRS bill in excess of $100 million after a government audit indicates he double-dipped on tax losses tied to a Chicago skyscraper, according to a report by the New York Times and ProPublica that drew on a years-long audit and public filings.
    ......................
    The tax records cited by the report indicate that Trump twice deducted losses on the Trump International Hotel and Tower, which opened in 2009 on the north bank of the Chicago River’s main branch, which cuts through the city’s downtown.

    The report said Trump initially reported losses of $658 million in his 2008 filings under the premise that the property fit the IRS definition of being “worthless” because condominium sales were disappointing and retail space went unfilled amid a deep U.S. recession.

    But in 2010, the published report said, Trump transferred the ownership of the property to a different holding company that he also controlled, using the move to save money on taxes by reporting an additional $168 million in losses over the next decade on the same property.

    I’ve said this many times before —

    - Set aside the indictments and findings of fraud.
    - Set aside what your own ears and eyes told you on Jan. 6.
    - Set aside what all rational people now know to be fact — that Trump’s election fraud lies were manufactured lies at inception.
    - Set aside the political allies and opponents alike.

    Just listen to the people that actually worked with him while in office — first hand, day-to-day, who discussed his competency to hold the office of the Presidency. Look at the unprecedented volume of those people who all echo the same sentiment— he is unfit to be President.

    They don't care. They're so pot committed at this point they can't admit they were wrong.

    The analogy I've drawn a few times was FSU fans and Jameis. No matter what he did or was accused of, they refused to admit it, while the rest of college football just stared. He was their guy, no matter what.

    When someone is confronted with a lie and fails to refute it, are they any better than the liar?

    The 80K number for the Trump NJ rally was a lie by one right wing extremest and the number just kept getting picked up and repeated by other right wing outlets to the point the lie became the number. There was less than half that many there and they left early.

    Kind of reminds me of the representation of the crowd at Trump's inauguration in 2017. The crowd was estimated at 300,000 to 600,000 at the most. Trump and the boys claimed 1.5 million suggesting it was on par with the crowd at Obama's 2009 inauguration. For a comparison see the pic below:

    Doctored photo. There was more democrat influenced protesters on the streets in 2017 than all the people shown in that picture. Nice try bamboozlers.

    The photo is not doctored. The protesters were not on the mall, as that area is controlled access during the Inauguration. They just couldn't fill it. Sorry that hurts your feelings.

    Correct only the photo wasn't doctored and that the leftist protestors were over a mile away from the National Mall and the area near the Capitol where Trump was sworn.
    More than 200 arrested in D.C. protests on inauguration day
    I would also add that charges were dropped against those arrested most of whom were only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While there was indeed violence and vandalism it was actually committed by very few protestors.
    Government drops charges against all inauguration protesters

    You've got to stop believing the fake news from Fox (not really) News, OAN, Newsmax and right-wing websites and social media posts.

    No hurt feelings at all. I don't care, but still think it doctored. Thanks for playing though.

    Sure, you don't. That is why you ran here, without evidence, to claim it was doctored. Because you care so little.

    LOL! I agree with TV news of both stripes. You do the same. Swear off for 30 days and you'll likely be a new person.

    I read print media of both stripes. I can't agree with the media that shills for the democratic party and the Biden Administration. This is obviously more than you do.

    Thanks for playing though.

    Post a link to a reputable source that wouldn't doctor a photo. Excuse me if I don't trust the accuracy of the pictures you posted. Thanks for playing though.
