A warning from Ben Franklin - Politics Discussion

Maybe because the super rich don't need countries - they just need resources.

Having a group of people noticing what you're doing and calling you out can get tiresome - so they need to be shut up.

[–] DarthAckbar (2039) 2 months ago

they called it "spamming" when i did 5 in a row

now i only do it once a day or so

[–] BeaSouth (3282) 2 months ago

I typically disagree with your political takes but I thought that was an unfair threat by Mod4. “LOL”doesn’t hurt anybody and we all have seen far more vicious posts from other people. You “LOL’d” one of my posts one time and I took it as a good ol’ fashioned sarcastic retort and thought it made your point without berating anybody. No harm in that

[–] DarthAckbar (2039) 2 months ago

thank you, and i agree

it is meant as a very polite way to be a smart ass, lol

Posts are only spam on social media when someone posts ads when committing. Posting LOL five times in a row are not ads.

[–] tvfan (12729) a month ago

It's not necessary to post ads to consider it spamming.

A while back one of the mods on this forum called out a user that posted the same repetitive statement over and over. Not all rules are the same for every site.

reply

[–] beancrisp (1625) a month ago

Wouldn't it be more accurate to call it trolling?

reply

[–] tvfan (12729) a month ago

Perhaps, but the mod still considered it spamming.

Biden and Kamelturd and his nefarious minions are hell-bent on ignoring old Ben, attempting to tear up the Constitution

Trump tells court he had no duty to ‘support’ the US Constitution in bizarre legal defence
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-us-consitution-legal-b2428941.html

"“Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social

..and bring about a dictatorship,

Trump has said he wants to be a dictator (to be fair though 'on day one, only'. Not sure how that would work though...)

reply

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

Writing on his platform TruthSocial in December, Mr Trump said that the result of the election – which he described as “a massive fraud” – should allow for “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
“Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!” he wrote.

why would a President support a fraudulent election? a Presidents job is to secure free and fair elections.

how would Trump be a dictator for one day?

Biden and Kameltoe have been Dictators for 4 years now. no one is allowed to question their authority and they can do whatever they want.

An argument then why we can say that elections were free and fair...

how would Trump be a dictator for one day?

A question I asked just above. However there is no reason to think Defendant Donald would necessarily be telling the truth (he is prone to exaggeration), while, even if he is, he could still do a lot of damage in just one day..

Biden and Kameltoe have been Dictators for 4 years now.

Hyperbole noted.

no one is allowed to question their authority and they can do whatever they want.

They are subject to the same checks and balances as any in the past (although, er, thanks to the recent Supreme Court ruling they can now legally assassinate their rivals and other dubious new things as they would be 'official acts')

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

Obama said elections cant be hacked, but then Nancy said the 2016 election was hijacked, then Nancy said Trump would hijack the 2020 election and Joe said he would lose by chicanery. then after the election Joe and Nancy said elections cant be hijacked. Hillary said that the 2024 would be hijacked by Russia again and the DOJ said that Iran, China and Russia would hijack the 2024 election. I am confused, can elections be hijacked or not?

reply

[–] filmflaneur (1086) 2 months ago

Anything is possible. However Defendant Donald lost 60 legal cases failing to convince the courts that the results of the last election were fraudulent.

reply

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

so there was no chicanery? Joe said he was going to lose by chicanery. why didnt Russia help Trump again to hijack the election?

reply

[–] filmflaneur (1086) 2 months ago

If they did then it didn't work out ..

reply

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

did anyone investigate for collusion again?

reply

[–] filmflaneur (1086) 2 months ago

With Trump (and I am hardly a supporter of his) I think the lack of collusion was seen as the final verdict.

reply

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

so there was no collusion? Joe said he was going to lose by chicanery. did Trump lose by chicanery?

reply

[–] filmflaneur (1086) 2 months ago

The idea of collusion (with Russia) was refuted by Mueller. And there has, apart from the usual isolated cases unrelated to any grand conspiracy, been found no election fraud in 2020

reply

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

Mueller never investigated the 2020 election, in fact, the fed govt did not investigate the election at all. why? cause the dems know they would have been caught hijacking the election and colluding with China and Ukraine to steal the election.

reply

[–] filmflaneur (1086) 2 months ago

Mueller never investigated the 2020 election,

I never said he did, just that he looked into alleged Trump-Russian collusion.

cause the dems know they would have been caught hijacking the election and colluding with China and Ukraine to steal the election.

Thank you for your unsubstantiated opinions, and you are welcome to them. I suspect you just don't accept democratic results and resort to believing in outlandish conspiracies to justify your disappointment.

reply

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

that was in 2016. he found none. and the Durham report said all the evidence presented by the dems was fake.

unsubstantiated opinions is the best part of being a American. you can say whatever you like with no repercussions but only if you are a democrat. dems can say elections can and cannot be rigged in the same sentence.

I'm failing to see the logic here, or even what the hell he is babbling about.
If his election was fraud the constitution and all other laws can be thrown away?
... or just the ones stopping him from staying in power without a vote ?

reply

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

the law of the constitution was thrown away when dems cheated and stole the election. Trump was trying to make sure the election was fair and honest and make sure there was no chicanery or collusion. the dems refused to investigate like they did in 2016. why? cause they know they would have been caught hijacking the election.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (15583) 2 months ago

No heres what happened:
Trump lost and his huge ego was forced to make up the lie that it was rigged to save face.
He then decided the way forward was to declare that elections therefore dont matter anymoer and h'es allowed to stay in office.
--------------------------------------

on the dubject of "the fix" :
Have the magas decided on a "how" yet?
as in "how" did the dems rig the election?
Because up until now every possible method has been proposed , and none with any form of evidence ,
but to be taken seriously with the accusation of rigging it you must surely fix on a how? surely ?

Or is the official line "They rigged it - but we dont know how!"

reply

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

reminds of the Big Lie the dems concocted for the 2016 election. Hilldog was supposed to break the glass ceiling but then Trump won fair and square. then the dems made up a lie that Russia hijacked all the voting machines and that Trump colluded. it all turned out to be a Big Lie. lol

now the DOJ is saying that China, Iran and Russia will be hijacking the election and Joe said that Netanyahu said he would also help hijack the election.

why is Joe allowing other Countries to hijack our elections?

reply

[–] moviechatterer (15583) 2 months ago

" then the dems made up a lie that Russia hijacked all the voting machines "
no they didnt .
how many posters here are saying that?
vs ALL MAGAS claiming daily 2020 was rigged .

--------------------------------
"DOJ is saying that China, Iran and Russia will be .."
probly said "will be trying to influence"
Do you have the actual DOJ quote?

--------------------------------

also you totally ignored my "how did they rig it" question

reply

[–] JoWilli (19957) 2 months ago

it was rigged with mules and collusion. China and Ukraine also influenced people to vote for Joe by putting fake ads on twitter. also the voting machines were compromised and there was lots of fake votes.

millions of people said the 2016 election was hijacked, when in fact it was fair and honest.

millions of people said the 2020 election was rigged, and there is lots of evidence it was. see first post.

what we need is some kind of investigation, maybe Mueller is not doing anything and he can investigate for 2 years.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (15583) 2 months ago

mules
collusion.
fake ads on twitter.
voting machines were compromised
fake votes

So a multi pronged approach then eh?
5 different attack vectors , and still not a shred of evidence
You gotta hand it to them scheming commie demoRats , they pulled off the scam of the century there!

--------------------------
2020 election was rigged, and there is lots of evidence
erm, No , no there isnt
If there was any evidence everyone outside the maga club the world over would not be laughing their tits off at this deluded fantasy.

No, the big question is why republican voters still haven't proven capable of figuring out that "attempting to tear up the Constitution and bring about a dictatorship, with the lying, grifting, scumbag at the helm. supports the Big Lie; he lives by it. and his adoring followers believe it, all evidence to the contrary." all EXACTLY apply to trump, and that they've just been duped with "alternative facts" basically from the very start...even though they were TOLD that "alternative facts" were what they were being "informed" with.
