  1. It's not about Scarborough or Fox. It's about you.
  2. Some context here. The above X post is a thread with pictures of an affidavit, signed by a poll worker in Wisconsin. The poll worker details unusual activity. Specifically that paper ballots were being tabulated AFTER poll watchers were sent home. Then, an email is included where (someone appearing to be managerial in nature) applauds a worker for getting just the right amount of ballots in. Do these things have innocent intent? Possibly. But that is why we have investigations. That is why the certification should have been paused. When we don't get it right and we ignore the possibility that we are being defrauded, we lose our country.
  3. All I see are excuses. You still believe the people that lie to you and berate the people that believe what they want to believe. My point wasnt that Trump is truthful. I didn't even bring him up. My point wasn't that Fox is a paragon of truth. My point was that you are a hypocrite for turning a blind eye to lies. In this case, maybe the biggest lie in the history of our political system. As to why Scarborough hasnt been sued, who would do that? Who has the standing to say they have been harmed by his lie?
  4. Oh no. They said he was as fit as ever. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/03/06/scarborough_f_you_if_you_cant_handle_the_truth_this_version_of_biden_is_the_best_biden_ever.html Scarborough: "F-You If You Can't Handle The Truth," This Version Of Biden "Is The Best Biden Ever" That was in March. Joe didn't suddenly fall of a cliff. We've seen the decline since 2020. Scarborough lied. He flat lied. And you still believe people like him. People that knew better. And you post things like you did above under the air that you are better. The reality is, you are far worse.
  5. I am going to go out on a limb and say that an argument of reason and compromise won't play well on a political forum. Not that you aren't wrong. You just won't be heard.
  6. What did the other news networks and the Democrat party do when they didn't reveal Joe's mental decline? Would you call that a lie? Don't you still believe them?
  7. That plea was far less than many thought they would pay at trial. They probably did a risk analysis and determined the payout was better than the chance. After all, the "authority" wrote a report blaming them. Every leader of every nation grounded their aircraft. It would have been very difficult to overcome all that.
  8. They were the monster the press was slaying. Who was going to believe them? There was a lack of redundancy. That was true. But there was a dozen mistakes made by the airline, the supplier and the pilots that would have stopped the whole thing.
  9. Actually, what I'm saying (to use your example) is the driver removed the airbag system, replaced it with a cheaper, uncertified system, didnt test it to see if it worked, ignored repeated malfunctions and failed to stop at the light while ignoring warning signs and drove off a cliff. But the original design had a slight flaw. It is interesting that you will argue with me, the expert on the airplane, because the narrative you've been told is so ingrained in your skull.
  10. Yeah, no. I'm saying both pilots were poorly trained and incapable of doing their job. I'm also saying that the investigation was incestuous. The people that owned the airline and would be financially responsible for their role determined they were not at fault. As for the system, yes it should have had redundancy. But that system does very little that can't easily be overcome by the crew. And, BTW, it was an updated version of the system on the 737NG. It did the same thing as the system on the older airplanes. If you knew how many systems were not working on your Airbus, you wouldn't fly on it. They are veey prone to system failures.
  11. 100% incorrect. I'm a captain on a 737 and I'm telling you that the MCAS system was a piece of cake to override. The reason both accidents happened over seas is because their training and standards are sh1t. Air Malaysia, for example, bought an improperly and uncertified AOA vane. They then installed it incorrectly. That airplane flew for over a month with pilots reporting the fault to the mechanics. The mechanics would "pencil whip" it and send it flying again. The pilots would keep flying it because the airline wouldn't pay the crew if the flight didn't go. The guys that crashed the airplane were told the stall warning was continuously alerting from takeoff to touchdown on the previous flight. The mechanic "pencil whipped" it. During the takeoff roll, the pilots got the stall warning well before the reject speed. They flew anyway. The captain called for the immediate action items, but neither pilot knew them. It was one switch. They just had to turn off one switch. The captain asked for the first officer to run the checklist, he couldn't find it because the checklist was in English and his English wasn't good enough. The captain asked the FO to fly. While the captain was looking for the checklist the FO crashed. The country of Malaysia investigate their state owned airline and their fellow countrymen and determined that the big, bad American company was to blame. $$$ To be fair, the system had a single point of failure and lacked redundancy. They fixed that. But we were given this problem, in flight, in a simulator and it took 10 seconds to diagnose and fix. Literally one switch. Also, you might find it interesting that the fuselage of the Max that lost a door plug was manufactured in....Malaysia by Spirit Aero. Who used to be in Wichita KS.
  12. Your problem is that you and reality don't know each other. As for Kelly, this is what he actually said: He's saying that Trump brought those things up at other times. But he is not saying it happened that day. John Kelly was fired, though. Do you always, automatically believe fired employees? Especially the ones that denied anything happened until after they were fired? You need to get a grip on reality.
  13. John Kelley never said he heard Trump say that. He just repeated the rumor.
  14. Adam Shitforbrains was on saying that Joe Biden's policies were amazing. That got me to wondering, is that just hyperbole or do the democrats really want high inflation, massive amounts of illegal immigration, known terrorists crossing the border, Chinese spying on our bases in our country, rampant crime, political prosecutions, women unable to compete in sports or feel safe in a bathroom, etc? Is this dystopia their utopia?
  15. The reality is, no one who has come forward, ever heard him say it.
  16. But you aren't doing that. You are subverting the will of the people to install a leader. You are doing the exact opposite of democracy. And I can prove it by quoting you; "dead brains". Don't you get it? You are absolutely everything you say we are. You are the bad guy here.
  17. At the time, we had a make shift, working model. Those "elites" codified a government that recognized rights and delegated power to localities. You want to use elites to anoint a leader that will centralize government and disregard the wishes and rights of the people you disagree with. Do you really think that's analogous?
  18. So your solution, to save democracy, is to have some elite, appointed people annoint a new leader?
  19. CNN...that is CNN...fact checked Joe. It wasn't pretty: https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/05/politics/fact-check-joe-bidens-abc-interview/index.html And that was just in 20 minutes. To be clear, CNN (to my knowledge) has never refuted these claims in the past. They aren't new lies. What is new is that CNN is actually telling the truth for once. There is no doubt that Operation Joe Has To Go is in full swing. But the side story here is that the liberal MSM outlets are showing us that they can be honest when they want to be.
  20. My wife noticed he was holding a pen and I found this: How does that work? Hold a pen loosely with one hand at either end. Your focus stays centred when you’re talking, and you aren’t flinging your energy or your point around the room. It works standing or sitting. Genius. Problem solved. Now why would he need to hold a pen?
