Their data says that regardless of whether they included in their write-up. 2.1 projected for 2025 is higher than what is projected for other countries.

IT. WAS. A. JOKE. He doesn’t have dementia or Parkinson’s, he’s just old and slow, which I agree is enough to make him unfit. That’s debatable LOL! IT. WAS. A. JOKE. Don’t hold your breath. He’s been whining about deserving “at least” 3 terms since his first term and some of his supporters have already started floating the idea of ending presidential term limits. Realistically the only reason they won’t push it is because Trump will be 82 by then and probably clearly unfit for office But never underestimate the cult of Trump. He could be in a permanent vegetative state and the GOP would probably still prop him up weekend at Bernie’s style and run him on the ticket while the faithful Trump worshippers trample each other just for a chance to touch his robe 🤣

Trump is 78 years old, and he will officially be the oldest candidate on the presidential ballot in US history as Biden was only 77 back in 2020. Back then Republicans said that was too old, there ought to be an age limit, nobody that age can possibly be trusted to run the country. I guess in hindsight they were actually right about something or once. What’s with Republicans and their ancient candidates they’ve running i the last 3 elections does he wear diapers? 😂

…and now he’s endorsed Harris U.S President Joe Biden drops out of the 2024 race, endorses Harris https://www.thestar.com/news/world/united-states/u-s-president-joe-biden-drops-out-of-the-2024-race-endorses-harris/article_c7e77640-4577-11ef-8ed0-87c8e174c3cd.html

The name for the Democratic candidate on the November ballot simply needs to say “Not Old and Not Trump”.

Yes. Because your original claim is ridiculous. There’s no shortage of anti-biden lunatics on social media that’s their natural home. What minimal fake news factchecking happens there isn’t Biden. Meanwhile Musk is now personally censoring and banning people from Twitter if they offend his period politics or ego. The reason they failed is because the vote was along party lines as expected and there was not enough of a majority. But it’s clear he did so the things he was accused of: withholding Ukraine aid in exchange for non-existent dirt on Biden and inciting Jan 6 attack. From your own link: “Barr’s letter didn’t say what Mueller learned that fell short of a crime about a broad range of Trump associates who had Russia-related contacts. It also didn’t answer why several of those people lied to federal investigators or Congress during the Russia probe since there wasn’t any direct coordination going on.” It is a fact they discussed releasing Hillary’s hacked emails and terms for a Trump presidency to stop supporting Ukraine’s resistance to Russias proxy invasion. Lacking further details due to obstruction it was unclear if either of those or others constituted a crime First let’s be clear the letter said; “We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails … are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement — just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.” Second Biden didn’t get them to write and sign the memo. Your own link says Morrell, one of the intelligence officials, got his colleagues to sign. Third let’s set the record straight that other Russian disinfo about the Bidens has been proven such as Alexander Smirnov, a key source of Republican accusations was exposed as having fabricated his claims and working with Russian intelligence. Your link is to an opinion piece in a conservative newspaper. Nothing in the actual set of facts proves he was spied upon and nobody was charged with that. Amd Sussman was acquitted. Yeah so? That doesn’t contradict any of what I said. SCOTUS took issue with the specific legislation that was passed, which they claimed was outside presidential authority. So Biden took another route with a smaller program that was well within his authority and has nothing to do with the SCOTUS ruling, which is why it actually happened Huh? Qualified it? The arguments about special prosecutors that Trump lawyer made have tried before in previous cases and were thrown out. Cannons ruling is just another example of Republican judges ignoring all past legal precedents to achieve their own personally desirable outcomes. Tjat is Cannon’s new made up argument. As one legal expert pointed out: What are the regulations under which special counsels are appointed? Special counsels have been around for decades. From the 1970s until the late ’90s there was the independent counsel statute, which provided for a much more independent special prosecutor than what Attorney General [Merrick] Garland authorized in this matter. The Supreme Court upheld the statute in Morrison v. Olson, but it expired in 1999. After its expiration, DOJ implemented its own regulations providing for the appointment of special counsels who possess functions similar to U.S. attorneys. In 2020, in an Appointments Clause case involving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Supreme Court essentially reaffirmed Morrison v. Olson as a valid exception to a general rule about appointments. What surprised you most about the decision? One very surprising thing is how Cannon deals with the Supreme Court precedent in United States v. Nixon. There’s a sentence in that 9-0 opinion which resolves this issue entirely. The sentence says that Archibald Cox, who was one of the prosecutors of Nixon, was appropriately appointed pursuant to the statute. And you would have thought that would have ended this inquiry. Cannon does something I think I’ve never seen a district judge do before, which is that she looks into the history of the Nixon case, decides the issue wasn’t particularly briefed, and as a result determines that a sentence in a Supreme Court opinion that was decided 9-0 was, in fact, “dicta,” which means that it is not binding in subsequent cases as legal precedent. And as a result, she as a district judge was entitled to disregard it. I’ve never seen a district court conclude that a portion of a Supreme Court opinion is not binding; that was a first for me. In my seminar at Harvard Law School, I teach that portion of the Nixon opinion, and the beginning of it is essentially whether the matter is justiciable and whether the case is properly in the court, partially because it’s an intra-branch fight — it’s two parts of the executive branch that are litigating against each other. It was important to the court to point out that the special counsel was validly appointed and validly in the court, because if they thought he had not been, then the matter would not have been justiciable. The entire first part of the Nixon opinion is really about justiciability…. An appeal in the 11th Circuit would take roughly a year to decide. If Trump is elected president, after his inauguration he will certainly order the Department of Justice to dismiss the federal cases against him. The Department of Justice would then dismiss those cases and there would not be an appeal. If Trump is not elected, there’s a strong chance that the 11th Circuit will reverse Cannon’s decision. Whichever way the 11th Circuit ruled, I suspect the issues would then be decided in the Supreme Court. I’m not going to predict what the Supreme Court would do. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2024/07/what-the-judge-was-thinking-and-whats-next-in-trump-documents-case/ In other words another criminal republican president already tried and failed with that argument a half century ago

How about some examples or evidence to back your claim? It’s certainly been true of every fascist so far. Scholars place fascism on the far-right of the political spectrum.[6][5][7] Such scholarship focuses on its social conservatism and its authoritarian means of opposing egalitarianism.[ … To appeal to Italian conservatives, fascism adopted policies such as promoting family values, including policies designed to reduce the number of women in the workforce—limiting the woman's role to that of a mother. The fascists banned literature on birth control and increased penalties for abortion in 1926, declaring both crimes against the state.[153] Although fascism adopted a number of anti-modern positions designed to appeal to people upset with the new trends in sexuality and women's rights—especially those with a reactionary point of view—the fascists sought to maintain fascism's revolutionary character, with Angelo Oliviero Olivetti saying: "Fascism would like to be conservative, but it will [be] by being revolutionary."[154] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism#:~:text=Scholars place fascism on the,authoritarian means of opposing egalitarianism.

LMAO what???! Not my my dumb rule, your dumb argument

Sure it does. All fascists have been social conservatives obsessed with their definition of “traditional values” and “traditional culture” and traditional gender roles where women have a duty to be submissive housewives and men are expected to be the macho unchallenged “head of the family”. Every fascist regime also has enjoyed the support and collaboration of the financial/industrial economic elite.

Trump supporter Elon Musk Trump the criminal There is no crime called collusion and he wasn’t charged with any crimes related to it. . It is a fact that his campaign colluded with Russians and lied about their secret meetings. The purpose of the Mueller investigation was to determine if any of that collusion violated any actual criminal statutes Ot is also a fact that the investigation found that was Trump White House obstructed the investigation and it is also a fact that his attorney general protected him from Obstruction charges Those people wrote and signed that letter on their own. Another false narrative. Trumps people wee meeting with Russian envoys and intelligence agents. Thos contacts were monitored and the Trump campaign officials were interviewed about their activities, in other words they wee told that their activities had been noticed by intelligence officials Not sure what exactly this refers to but Trump himself was not spied on Once again your lack of knowledge and understanding is on full display. . SCOTUS didn’t forbid him from finding any way of forgiving any amount of student debt. Thats not how courts work. Divided along partisan lines, SCOTUS ruled that the president didn’t have authority to amend a particular piece of legislation, period. It also noted that a number of conservative states rely on predatory lending to students as a source of income and the legislation in question would unfairly deprive them of that profit. However the Biden team noted they were still able to forgive a significant amount of debt and interest within their existing authority simply through EO, which had been their “plan B”. They are in full compliance with SCOTUS. More lies. In 2022, Biden was asked by a reporter how he can assure allies Trump wouldn’t come back to power. Biden’s exact quote was “I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.” In addition, the novel ruling of special counsels by a Trump loyalist the very first day after the assassination attempt will likely be overturned because special counsels have been used for decades, there is nothing illegal or unusual about the one prosecuting Trump.

Its true if Obama had a son he would look like Trayvonn Martin, whose killing was justified because he had facebook photos of him wearing a hoodie trying to look cool. Who was shot dead despite have not committed any crimes after he confronted a grown man following him. This republican myth is that before Obama there was no racism or that black people gladly accepted racism as their burden to bear due to the moral failings of their people, and that black people are so unintelligent they don’t know what’s going on or what’s in their best interest and will believe whatever democrats tell them. That’s a perfect example of Republicans’ racist views

Make up whatever bullshit you want, “punch a nazi” started after Charleston where multiple ACTUAL right wing Nazi groups marched and paraded in the streets including a night-time torch-carrying march chanting “jews will not replace us”. Others gave speeches in their Nazi regalia and red MAGA hats And then one of them drove his car into crowd of “left wing” counter-protesters killing a woman Besides you can’t make general comments about all liberals based on ANTIFA….I know you righties love to do that…..anymore than I can make comments about all conservatives based in the ACTUAL Nazis supporting Trump

Laura Loomer Cheers Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s Death in Racist Rant Laura Loomer, a white nationalist and Donald Trump’s one-time favored pick for a campaign role, sparked outrage on social media by metaphorically dancing on a Black Congresswoman’s grave. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), a progressive voice in Congress who fought for civil and women’s rights, died Friday evening at 74, shortly after she announced she was battling pancreatic cancer.

So the Republican Obama lynching effigies were legitimate hateful right/wing threats? What about the “Hang Trudeau” T-shirts and hoodies?

Yep. What typically differentiates fascism from other types of dictatorship or authoritarianism especially left wing dictatorships is its strict social conservatism and its close ties to industrialists, business leaders and tycoons.

That’s not rewriting history it’s establishing history that Republicans don’t like and only in recent years have started revising. The south has always been conservative and the most racist part of the country. True today, true 150 years ago. There was a time when Democrats were the party of rural America and urban labourers (just as in Canada CCF/NDP were the party of rural Canada). The Republicans wee the party of industry commerce and heavily centred in the northeast. Socialism, the welfare state, etc that Republicans typically associate with today’s “left” barely even existed in the 1800’s at least not in North America and didn’t become relevant to American politics until well into the 20th century. The division was urban/rural and industry-labour. Given that, and Lincoln being Republican, the racist, staunchly conservative southerners wee Democrats who believed civil rights and desegregation were socialist plots to destroy American capitalism First they split from the Democrats to form the “States Rights Democratic Party in protest of Truman’s desegregation of the military. The leader of this party, Strom Thurmond, a KKK member and grandson of slave owners would later become one of the longest serving Republican Senators. Thurmond joined the Republican party in 1964 in protest over 1964 Civil Rights Act. Republicans Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon sought to capitalize on this. Nixon aid Kevin Phillips told the New York Times in 1970 that "Negrophobe" Whites would quit the Democrats if Republicans enforced the Voting Rights Act and blacks registered as Democrats. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Democrats#:~:text=Some southern Democrats became Republicans,and Mills E. Godwin Jr. Bullshit. Conservative policies divide people by race and ethnicity. Republicans like to say this, basically implying that non-white people aren’t intelligent enough to understand the real issues or their own interests…the inferior races have all been fooled , if only they’d understood that only their white saviours in the Republican Party can truly set them free.

LMAO it’s 100% correct and you unhinged response only proves me correct. You’re just another delusional right wing internet kook threatening violence in the name of national greatness….the key feature of the 20th century fascists. PS no way I want to be under the same flag as you American nutjobs or any other foreigners. That’s just more of your absolute batshit No I think you’re the delusional one. You havr zero awareness yourself or the real world. You let your cult leader dictate your beliefs to you.

Sure, but none of those people made their country great. Hitler didn’t run for office saying “vote for our party, I’ll make myself dictator, round up millions of people for imprisonment or extermination and start a world war that will call tens of millions.” He simply promised to restore Germany’s lost economic and military greatness, and let people read between the lines (or not) regarding his intent to end democracy, given their many open criticisms of democracy that stopped short of explicitly calling for its end. Again letting supporters choose their own reality about what they wanted to believe.

Yes And DNC had its own platform too https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/2020-democratic-party-platform Thank you for proving once again that you’re batshit crazy. BTW you forgot to mention the Lizard people who fool everyone into thinking the earth is round

Yes you did in 2016, I’m hoping you don’t do a repeat

Substitute the word “American” for “German” or “Italian” and that’s exactly what the fascists said in Europe around 100 years ago. If you really want to stop being called fascist you should stop talking like one. It’s all fun and games until someone loses a democracy.

You mean the Dixiecrats used to before they migrated to the Republican Party decades ago, or like the anti-Obama protesters lynching Obama in effigy, or the White nationalists, KKK and neo-nazis who openly support amd endorse Trump? Also I don’t recall any Republican ever calling for the “suppression” of any hate speech, their standard response has been to decry it as (maybe) reprehensible but then say nobody is forcing you to listen to it and amd speech should not be silenced. Unless that speech is directed at Trump and/or Republicans, Israeli government policies of any kind, and possibly the bible…. then they call for suppression

Notice the blood on the ground

Technically. But if doing so caused a stampede and people got hurt or died you would be likely be charged with some offence if you didn’t actually believe there was a fire. How exactly will Republicans enforce that plank of their platform without actually forming a dictatorship?

Another opposite-of-reality joke. As evidenced by the Democrats current in-fighting over replacing Biden, the party is not under the cult leadership of anyone much less Pelosi and Schumer of all people Reality has also shown that the GOP is the cult of Trump and TrUMP alone, with RNC in Milwaukee being widely described as a “ring-kissing contest” of speaker after speaker adulating Trump as humanity’s lone saviour and benevolent god HE ALONE CAN SAVE US. Not his team, not his people, ONLY HIM The RNC is also described as “ritual humiliation” for all those Republicans who dared to challenge him like Haley and DeSantis, who each were required to appear on stage to repent their sins and express their newfound undying loyalty to Trump while the crowd booed and jeered All you need to do is look at this humiliation display and how Republicans have canceled and attacked all Republicans who have refused to bend the knee to Trump (Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Pence etc etc) to know that the claim that the GOP is a free speech party that welcomes diversity of thought is a hilarious joke Mile Pence did not attend RNC out of fear for his personal safety The GOP has no coherent platform because it is the cult of Trump and has no independent beliefs or consciousness except to worship Trump and support whatever he decides to do or not do, say or not say “we have no idea what he might say or do but whatever it is we unconditionally support it because we worship him”. That was essentially what they publicly declared in 2020 when they didn’t release a platform. In 2024 I believe they simply photocopied the Trump campaign platform and declared it their own, after Lara Trump took over leadership of the GOP and earlier this year declared that ”every single penny” of RNC funds should go to Trump. To whit: those espousing the exact same political and economic views as Trump supporters are shunned and abused if they don’t support Trump as the ideal party leader while while those with un-conservative views who publicly support Trump are welcomed and celebrated. For example Liz Cheney, a traditional conservative whose congressional voting record was actually highly consistent with the Trump White House and GOP colleagues, and who had one of the highest ratings from conservative groups and lobbyists is a HATED ONE solely because she opposed Trump’s 2020 election lies. Meanwhile those with un-conservative views who support Trump are welcomed with open arms, e.g, Elise Stefanik, a long-time moderate Republican whom Conservatives had long decried her as a “New York liberal,” whose congressional voting record was least consistent with the Trump White House and GOP colleagues, who had one the worst ratings from conservative groups and lobbyists, but always publicly praised and supported Trump including his 2020 election lies She is welcomed with open arms and was even considered to be a potential Trump VP pick The Republican Party has become the “choose your own reality” party with Trump as the undisputed god. You can believe the nobody has done more to stop Putin or COVID than Trump, or you can believe that Trump is the only one to know COVID was a hoax and Putin is the good guy. You can believe Trump conceded the 2020 election with dignity and denounced the “heinous attack” on Jan 6 or you can believe he continues to fight the stolen election and the J6 attackers we’re peaceful visitors on a family-friendly self-guided tour and are political prisoners. As long as you unconditionally worship Trump your perception of reality doesn’t matter. In fact, Trump and his closest supporters intentionally create conflicting perceptions of reality as he has personally and deliberately said all of these contradictory claims, knowing his followers will cherry-pick, exaggerate and fabricate whatever “facts” they need to in order to believe their beliefs align with their infallible Messiah. In the cult of GOP, unconditional worship of the messiah and unconstitutional hatred of all those who refuse to do the same is all that matters. No policy platform or shared perception of reality is required for that.
