Ohhhhhh no. You will repeat the same BS over and over again, somehow believing that if you repeat it more often, it will somehow become true.
And furthermore, if the votes for Biden were fraudulent, how come "down ballot" Republicans often received many more votes than Cheeto Tweeto? Are you saying that all of the ballots for Biden contained just a presidential vote and nothing else? Because if you are saying that, and since those ballots are required by law to be kept for a while, you should be able to file a lawsuit to examine them. But you haven't. Gee, I wonder why.
You seem to forget that every "serious country" (your words) in the world insists on Federal control of elections. Are you OK with that? Because if you aren't, you don't want the US to be a "serious country."
The Federal government determines what types of ID's are valid for registering to vote and what procedures are required if you can't provide the types of ID required. Are you OK with that? Because if you aren't, you don't want the US to be a "serious country."
The Federal government provides a voter ID card to the voter which must be used when voting. Are you OK with that? Because if you aren't, you don't want the US to be a "serious country."
The Federal government provides the voter rolls to the various polling places, often with photos of the voter. So that when you show up, your photo and signature matches the Federal government voter roll. Are you OK with that? Because if you aren't, you don't want the US to be a "serious country".
The Federal government determines the number and location of polling places and how many polling places are required for how many citizens. Are you OK with that? Because if you aren't, you don't want the US to be a "serious country".
Most "serious countries" hold elections on a weekend day and have determined that election day is a Federal holiday. Are you OK with that? Because if you aren't, you don't want the US to be a "serious country".
Because if you aren't OK with any of that, then you don't want the US to be a "serious country". Serious countries require all of the above because they understand what it takes to be serious. But you aren't OK with it, are you? You might be OK with one or two things but not all of them. Ohhhhhh no. You can BS about "seriousness" all you want, but the simple fact is that you don't want "serious". What you want is "control."

Posts: 1782Reps and Dems. Same dirty coin
Great discussion with Krystal Ball on the failures of US politics, both Reps and Dems, and the lies of Biden (as we all discussed a few weeks ago).
Krystal Ball is from USA, so hopoefully you will have no trouble understanding her. She certainly talks a fantastic game.

As a result a lot of the biggest gainers (tech stocks) sold off substantially.
3. Apple is experiencing supply chain problems. You might know (I'm never sure with you) that Apple assembles a large percentage of their products in China.
When China started locking down due to Covid in 2022 (yes this year) their supply chain disruption has been causing many analysts to doubt Apple can get.
Their products to stores in sufficient quantity to meet analyst projections.
4. At least a dozen other reasons.
OH and I didn't invest when Biden took office. I started investing when Ford was in office.

LOL. Killing babies. Is the Morning After pill a murder weapon now? A BBBJ+CIM must surely be some form of infanticide too.

As you know, the voicemail was regarding Hunter's dubious business deals with some Chinese tycoon. That is the context, and is why Sleepy Joe referred to an article on the matter which was about to be published.
The real questions are: why did Biden lie when he said he had no idea at all about any of his son's dubious business deals (despite being referred to as "the big guy", as in "10% for the big guy" and secondly, why does the mainstream (fake news) media show no interest in investigating why a sitting president lied about a potentially criminal matter?
But of course, to ask is to answer.

You're clear of that driving with a suspended license charge? You're in the clear from attending that Jeffrey Epstein party? You're clear from the reports that said you were using drugs again?
You want to take a few ambiguous words from a recorded conversation and turn it into a conspiracy theory, and you're completely aghast that reputable media isn't interested in spreading the story.
Is it possible that your political beliefs have completely over-ridden any semblance of judgement?

If one suspects they have it do a test and if positive then call the doc without delay. There are some excellent oral treatments available, especially when started early.

Also, on top of rates going higher, the Fed has gone from buying MBS to selling them. That you are fighting the Fed shows once again that you are an amateur.

Let's print money and pay people not to work and invest in the stock market. Look it is a miracle. We had a pandemic and everyone is richer now. Yeah, that is what happens when you rack up cash advances with a credit card.
Sane people know that these cash advances cannot work for long, and the time to go short the market was when the bill comes due which is now. You are so fucking stupid you think that somehow magically that bill never comes due. Hell, why not just print all this money and no one has to work? Seriously, that is the genius Democratic plan.

Posts: 1044Constitutional right lmao
Perhaps the funniest thing about the hoes mad meltdown is the unhinged shrieking that abortion is a "Constitutional right". As if Madison, Washington, Adams, Jefferson et al were thinking "We absolutely must enshrine the right of hoes to kill their kids" while they were writing it. LMAO.
Just shows yet again how far the wacko left has strayed from reality.
