I'm pretty sure that you don't know what "rigged" means.
Trump nominated 3 people for the SCOTUS.
They were vetted and then a vote was taken in the Senate.
All three of them were approved in this way.
That's how it works.
That's how it has always worked.
That's how every other President has nominated people and that's how their nominees are confirmed.
So...NOT RIGGED!!!!
As far as trying to overturn the election, a lot of interesting theories and accusations.
Nothing proven in court
I understand that there is a case pending against him.
Should be interesting.
I guess he could be convicted and end up in jail.
Or, he could also be re-elected in November.
Either way, you will still be afflicted with the TDS.
That's not in doubt.
I'll give it to Drjohn that Scotus was not rigged by trump .
It was through foul play by Senate leader Mitch McConnell in 2016 by holding the nomination of a new justice (Merrick Garland well regarded conservative judge but too level headed for the far right branch in the Republican party). McConnell's excuse was ...that because it was an election year the nomination had to be done by the up coming president....giving trump an extra nomination during his term when RBG died in September 2020 (4 months before the end of trump's term) the old bird could not hold on for 4 more months . Neil Gorsuch has only McConnell to thank for his seat .
Shitty manœuvre that will be used in the future by Democrats to deny Scotus nominees and maybe even other strategic positions....you never know how that precedent will be used in the future and come to haunt the Republicans.

So 50% of Americans are "brainwashed MAGA goofs with a bogus evangelical religion"? There is absolutely no other reason people might want to vote for him? Immigration, economy, crime, foreign relations, wars in Ukraine and Israel being funded with taxpayers money....no other reason?
Your astute analysis of American politics is very insightful and impressive. You are so much smarter than them because you watch MSNBC, the View, Stephen Colbert and read the New York Times and Washington Post....they would never spread misinformation........or would they? Ever stop to consider who is actually in the disinformation bubble? Probably not. ...no...definitely not.
Merrick Garland is a moderate Liberal who has been on the Democratic Party's shorlist for a Supreme Court posting since 1997. It was Bill Clinton who appointed him to the DC Circuit in 1995. According to Politico, what you would consider a reliable source, he was NOT a conservative.
If you go further back about Garland you will see that he has always been a moderate conservative. The far right qualify that as liberal which is quite far from the truth as Lindsey Graham months prior was hinting for his selection ....but even so....it was not McConnell's to make .
As for Politico being a reliable source ...once again it all depends who writes the article. I never trust any source entirely ...never did never will. Ex. National Post yes good source but an article written by Conrad Black becomes fish wrapping paper 98% of the time , which stinks 2 days later
no, basically almost more people don't vote as those who do
if he really had that kind of support he'd have won in landslides both times, he didn't even win the popular vote
so the brainwashed number who actually did vote for the orangutan is more like 25% or less, cause there are some who will just not vote Dem down there, even when they
put up a POS like Trump
just like here with Liberals, haha
although in the U.S. they actively go out of their way to prevent people they don't want voting to have the ability
This makes Twitter
More like 1/3 hard core types. Anti-vaxxers , flat earthers, anti-science and affraid of everything types.They are gone and are never coming back. Tyranny of the minority.
I'm wondering if any of the Trump haters here have ever tried to verify what CNN, The Wapo, NY Times or Democrats say? Have any of you ever bothered to seek out other opinions, viewpoints or narratives that might not fit with what you've been told from left-leaning media and politicians? And no, I don't mean Fox news, which I personally have never watched.
There are foreign media, on-line sources and right-leaning media that often show that big stories the Dems spread are often half-truths, selective quotes, gossip or unconfirmed. But, by far the favoured method is to simply ignore, or not report whatever doesn't fit their agenda. Issues of race and immigration are notorious for that approach.

People talk about the "Swamp" in Washington.
The sleazy, greasy and corrupt politicians that inhabit the Swamp.
Hilary Clinton personifies that type of swamp dweller.
Her main claim to fame?
She's Bill Clinton's wife.
She parlayed that nugget of notoriety into a run at the Presidentcy of the US.
Turns out she was more hated than Donald Trump.
Who knew?
Yes because hes offered a concrete platform to adress all these issues and is not just blowing smoke up evryones asses. Thats why hes selling the bibles and the NFTs and whatever other litteral pieces of shit to his supporters. Hes like the shopping chanel rolled into jim jones rolled into reggie rich all in one.
If Trump gets re-elected h'ell just pardon himself and it will be viewed as the most corrupt event in American politcal history. All the other stuff nothing will happen just like the firtst term. No wall , no immigration reduction, didnt do anything to China or North Korea, didnt reduce crime economy was worse, etc..
As much as youve checked the veracity of 'alternative news'
If he was on Bill Clintons shortlist then he was actually a Democrat 30 years ago. That is far enough back.
What does Conrad Black have to do with anything? That was not who I sourced it from. And going back over 30 years in history for a person on Bill Clintons radar is far enough to determine a persons political leanings at this point.
You must have forgotten the part where Hillary got 3 million more votes than Donald.
