Posts: 6685How the President of the United States is Elected.
Pretty obvious you did not ask me. I return to the source document: The Constitution of the United States of America.

The 43 president of the United States of America was inappropriately granted the presidency by the United States Supreme Court. They should have stayed out of it. Instead they decided to to pick the next head of the branch of the executive for the United States Government.

There is noting more core than the selection of the President of the United States of America. The Supreme Court violated the Separation of Powers Doctrine when they awarded the presidency to #43. The election was stolen from the American People.
I did not see any Republican outcry when #43 was elected.

Posts: 2682An opinion.
First, your personal opinion about an issue in general doesn't give you the right to accuse people. Your mockery of Khelif was mean-spirited and uncalled for.

However, I was presented with real-life facts by another member that changed my opinion. After digging into this some more, I do believe now that this is a non-issue blown way out of proportion by conservative ideologists who grabbed a chance to wind up the troops.
If you weren't lazy, you could find our dialogue somewhere in this thread. But alas.

Posts: 7457Stolen Again? You mean like in 2000 and 2016?
Just curious, what do you suppose Trump means when he tells people at his rallies that they don't have to vote because he will "win" anyway?

Do you think it might have something to do with this:"You don't have to vote, don't worry about voting," he told his New Hampshire fans.
These Swing State Election Officials Are Pro-Trump Election Deniers.
Nearly 70 pro-Trump conspiracists are election officials in key battleground counties and they are poised to make a giant mess on Election Day.

You know, these are the same people who agreed with Trump that it is ok to assassinate his VP for not following his order to steal the 2020 election.
The same Felon Trump, that is, who was convicted 34 times for Conspiracy to Commit Election Fraud in a scheme to improperly influence (STEAL) the 2016 presidential election. And from the same Repub Party that was proven to have stood by and ignored enough blatantly obvious violations of the Voting Rights Act in Florida for GW Bush to steal the 2000 presidential election.
My god. Imagine what a different world we would all be living in if only those 2 elections had not been stolen:
No Attack on 9/11.
No 900+ lies by Bush-Cheney plunging us into 2 Repub counterproductive quagmire wars in the Middle East.
No Financial Crisis.
No two Bear Market Crashes in the broad USA Stock Market.
No $Trillions added to the deficit just to create 1 million fewer jobs with that Repub legislation than without it.
No failed China trade war that plunged the USA Manufacturing and Agriculture Industries into Recession so deep Trump had to issue emergency welfare checks just to keep them afloat.
No Trump's Pandemic.
No one million Americans Mass Murdered and millions more around the globe due to Trump's Pandemic Covid.
No business and school closures.
No Millions upon Millions of jobs wiped out.
No two more Bear Broad Market Crashes in the broad USA Stock Market.
No Inflation.
No skyrocketing costs of rent, food, gas, etc.
Yes, a very different world.

Not talking specifically about oil, of course.
Then they use those profits to buy more things. Later, when the market takes note of the good news about more things being bought, that triggers another All Time Closing High or ten in the market.
And so it goes. Been happening that way in good and healthy economies like this one since, well, since the stock market was invented.
But you will see it happening that way much, much more often during Dem economies than under Repub economies. For fairly obvious reasons.

The market is overvalued, and it's been so for a long, long time. We've been overdue for a major correction, but I'm not sure this is actually it. All I know is that my retirement fund is safe!

Posts: 4638MDS, I quizzed someone on another forum about this, and he repeated the same "2020 was the safest election there ever was" nonsense. The election being stolen is a theory. I asked him what the facts were to support that theory. He could not give one. All he could do was launch personal comments about me.

Posts: 4638Market is finally tanking
Back when I shorted oil, it took a long time for the market to get it right. The term peak oil has been erased from minds like the ridiculous Covid measures. I argued with the peak oil nuts about increasing USA oil production and most of them said it was fake. I looked at the oil workers making a bundle with the new trucks and the like. They knew it was not fake. Eventually, oil went from $100 to $20, and I made huge money but it took a long time.
So the lie is peak oil never happened, and the even bigger one is Biden's astute economic management made up for the economy being shut down 2 years. All that was done was the printing of money, and when you do that, you pay back the debt first via inflation. This recent rally made zero sense to me. How can you rally when the consumer is so much poorer? The answer that was given was AI. AI was going to make things so much more efficient. And that is literally what drove the hype train.
If Treasuries yield 5% market, fair market value is less than that as stocks are riskier. That means a yield at minimum in the stock market should be 6 to 8%, and I would say 8% given the weaker consumer and the likelihood earnings are going down. The current market has a PE of 28 which corresponds to a high 3% yield. The market should be half of what it is right now and probably less than that.
It never made sense but what would trigger a selloff? With oil, the peak oil nuts were shocked when the price of oil went down and Saudi Arabia did not cut production. In this market, I am not sure what the trigger is. Maybe it is Buffett selling so much stock. Maybe it is Nvidia not performing when it came to a delay in releasing the latest AI chip. You never know.
What I told people is you know your going to cause deaths when you shut down the economy and make everyone poorer. You have no clue whether the Covid measures are going to work. If you are a Democratic douche, you think your brilliant monetary management saved the day. You see, Elvis, we could implement the Covid measures and have no economic downturn. No, you douches just have not paid the bill and thank God that bill is coming due now.
We went $10 trillion further in debt due to a virus with 0. 2% mortality and lost trillions more due to decreased economic activity. The Covid plan ranks up there with the worst economic fuckups in our country's history.

Posts: 4638This shows how warped you are. A person posts facts to counter Democratic lies / propaganda and you do not like and so it is QAnon / conspiracy theory. This is why you are a douche. You do not have a single objective cell in you body. Democrats good, Republicans evil.

Posts: 7457Please provide the link for where Joe Biden or any other Democrat promoted or passed a law or enacted an Executive Order requiring any school or sports organization to violate their already existing rules for separation of men from women's sports or women from men's sports in order to allow "transgender women" to compete in women's sports or "transgender men" to compete in men's sports.

Fact check: Posts criticizing Biden order on gender discrimination lack context.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ts/6686171002/
On the Algerian boxer, it is quite possible that the now banned Olympic organization that administered THEIR gender test merely looked for a Y chromosome and it was on that basis the boxer was determined to be "male. ".Transgender athletes at college and Olympic levels
The executive order does not address athletics beyond the mention of discrimination in "school sports." Further, transgender amateur athletes already have policies they must follow in order to compete.
..........
Our ruling: Missing context
The claim that Biden's gender discrimination executive order says transgender women must be allowed to compete on women's teams is MISSING CONTEXT, based on our research. The order protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and states children should not be "denied access" to "school sports." The The White House said this would include having transgender females play on women's teams. But the posts do not acknowledge that rules for transgender athletes are already in place at the college and Olympic levels, as well as in many states and school districts. Further, it is false to say any educational institution that receives federal funding must add biologically male athletes to teams.
However, as you can see, many women, even those with a uterus and the ability to get pregnant, long the dividing line between male and female among strict conservatives, can be tested and shown to possess a Y chromosome:
Can a person with a Y chromosome give birth to a child?

Posts: 805I am too lazy to look that far into this particular issue, but lets say you are right even though I believe I read she has the chromosomes and hormone profile of a man and looks extremely masculine and I still 100% believe Olympics is corrupt and controlled by Corporate America, Liberal Media, and Big Tech and they are now doing an all out damage control campaign because they realize how many people like myself will no longer be supporting the Olympics after this last fiasco in a long line of controversies.

After the constant trans agenda and for years trying to get trans men to compete against women, stuff like this is going to happen. It's not like this is the first time. Olympics had to do the trans first dinner jesus picture thing to promote their agenda and give a middle finger to all christians. They brought this on themselves and now if its true this Algerian boxer is in fact a female, its the people promoting this in your face strange trans agenda bullshit who are really to blame.
And I support more acceptance for Trans people, there are obviously people born Trans and cannot help who they are. But this agenda has gone so far beyond that, especially trying to give hormones to young kids and giving athlete of the year awards to guys like Bruce Jenner just because he transitions into a female at 60 years old even though he has a family.
Just to be clear, you and tooms support letting Trans men compete against women? This is a huge part of the agenda for Democrats. This is what you support when you support Democrats.

See how that works?
Nothing says disunity and disaster like endangering the lives and National Security of everyone in the Intel community and everyone in America by doing what that twice Impeached, kicked out of office, violent, cop-attacking, maiming and killing Insurrectionist mob-inciting, former president and now 34 times convicted Felon did regarding those classified documents and everything else he touched, said, did and enacted over the past 9 years.
