Twitter could just a point a legal representative in Brazil and the problem would be resolved

The whole thing would be resolved with starlink, encryption, and onion routing.

No misinformation or pro-Trump, pro-Russia inforware to worry about when you can hide it.

If I get to decide what is disinformation or not then I’ll go for it… otherwise go “dark” as far as the government is concerned. EFF!

Not sure I agree with you on the treatment of Romney. Dems literally said he would "put black people back in chains" which is pretty offensive and racially charged, especially for a. person who grew up in a family that fought for civil rights.

They didn't make him fear for his life and go into hiding. He didn't move to impeach a democratic POTUS twice. He didn't take the unusual step of holding a long press conference urging against supporting a specific democratic candidate.

It wasn't democrat legislators who publicly floated the idea of recalling him from the senate for lack of loyalty to their leader.

Democrats didn't accost him in the airport. His own party made him run for his life the capitol. He was relentlessly mock and bullied online by Trump and humiliated by being asked to apply for SOS only to learn it was done as a joke. His own niece bowed to pressure to stop using the Romney name in her surname.

He has shared he has been shunned his GOP colleagues in the senate during his final term. Democrats still talk to him.



All of that outweighs the hyper-partisan bullshit rhetoric that was unkindly spewed 12 years ago.

Disagree. The Dems were horrible to Romney during the campaign. They were blatantly dishonest and disgustingly calling him a racist. Dems were also very wrong in their criticism. Remember when the Dems blew off Romney calling Russia our greatest threat?

I do remember. They got that one very wrong. And now we have the GOP once again trying to elect a guy, who at the very least ,holds Putin in high esteem. Don't misunderstand me, just as I've said before, I'm not saying this things were right; rather as I've outlined in my previous post the GOP has far outweighed democrats their awfulness in terms of they treated Romney. With regards to Russia, the democrats and Romney are aligned on Russia and the GOP is at odds. So it is odd to revisit that point as a sign of mistreatment. Because just maybe the GOP is in the wrong about this now?

I'm puzzled you don't see MAGA's treatment as worse when it them who put Romney's safety in jeopardy. And when Trump plan to pardon those he encouraged to commit that chaos.

So, from what I can tell, Trump has accepted the rules of the debate, which are the same rules as the first debate and what was agreed to months ago. Harris has not agreed to the rules, which is odd since I thought she was the one mocking Trump for not wanting to debate. Apparently Harris wants the mics to be live during the entire debate.

Yes, the Harris team knows that Trump would not be able to control himself and like the image of his continually trying to talk over her. They also like the image of her fact-checking his lies as a way to frustrate him. Apparently Trump's team agrees with them. They are managing a child and must establish some guardrails.

It's Harris that wanted hot mics... The Trump team wanted the same rules as the first debate. So who is the child here?

Komrade Harris wanted a cheap sheet and to sit down...

And ABC claims they won't give the Democrats the questions in advance, like they did when Trump debated Crooked Hillary.

It makes one wonder why Romney likes hanging out with the Dems... He is like a dog returning to its vomit.

Ted, I remember before you became a MAGA person you used to at least say you hated both parties equally

Given the actions of the Dems in recent history I hate them more now... Let me give you some more recent examples:


1. In the spending bill the FCC got like $42.5b to expand rural internet... but decided not to give any to the most promising solution for political reasons:

2. The Biden administration says they are going fund high speed rail now after they spent $7.5 billion on 7 EV changing stations... Ask California how their high speed rail is going:

The Dems are nothing more than a bunch of political hacks that can't get sh*t done. Now I hope they lose and lose bigly.

I’d love to hear how that doesn’t apply to the Republicans as well.

What did they get done when they were in power?

Yes, that's what Moli said and I gave the reasons.

Trump is still and will ever be the child.

Once you allow yourself to believe that your political opponents are fundamentally and uniformly bad/evil, you have crossed the line from a partisan to a cultist.
