-Cheney's endorse Harris-

The Dems and MSM brag about the endorsement...

Waaaait what?

-Putin endorses Harris-

The Dems and MSM blame Americans, and not a word about Russia...

Waaaait what?

Nobody talks about it because everyone could see that Putin was trolling and not serious about his endorsement of Harris.

Also yeah, Democrats shouldn't have bothered with the Republican endorsements clearly.

Everyone, at least on the right, can tell when Trump is trolling most of the time, but the Dems and MSM love to complain about it as if it was legit.

Trump trolls quite a bit more than the left seems to realize, or they think it helps them more than it actually does.

The old guard Rep endorsements didn't just hurt the Dems it totally helped the new Reps. It was a double whammy. Definitely not a good move.

Idiocracy achieved. 

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson said fairly recently that he was approached by one of the parties to run for some type of political position. It sure sounded like it was for Prez, and he made it sound like he is interested, just not now since his kids are young.

He makes it pretty clear he's a Dem, so odds are good it was the Dems who approached him.

Imagine a Gabbard vs Johnson election.

Well it's be fun to say the least, to think there'd be a good chance of him winning too, lol. We are already at "ow, my balls" level of writing in some specific media. 

Back to reality, I seen a better match for next term though, the Republicans pass an amendment so presidents can run a third term. Trump Vs Obama. What a showdown that'd be.

Trump is responsible for Jan 6th but none of these guys are responsible for radicalizing at least a couple individuals that tried to assassinate Trump .... seems a pretty big double standard to me.  

Bigger question is WHICH January 6th are we talking about? Are we talking about the January 6th 2017 insurrection? ;)

Inauguration protests: Police injured, more than 200 arrested | CNN Politics

Jan 6, 2017: Democrats object and disrupt final count of Electoral Votes.

Some people on these forums have amnesia, don't you think? I think a dose of reality needs to smack them in the face. But but but Russian collusion! We need to remove Donald Trump because of Russian collusion!! Bunch of tin foil hat conspiracy theorists who tried to remove a sitting president based on bullshit. But but he made a phone call to Zelensky!! 

It is also interesting that the most racist comments are coming from radical leftists on these very forums. For example, I have seen the use of people of color (POC) on these very forums ALL THE TIME!

Democrats 1950's:

Colored people are not allowed into this area. Only white people can enter.

----------------Mirror Image--------------------

Democrats of today:
People of color are allowed into these safe spaces. White people are not allowed to enter.

To make sure I get my point across... people of color is just the reverse word order of colored people. *Mic drop* Another way to segregate people is to create safe spaces. *Mic drop* I don't need to cite any stupid news article. I don't need any proof that liberals use these racist abhorrent words or segregate people based on race. We have all watched and listened to the use of POC on these forums time and time again from democrats and democrats only. Hell...it is freaking cited in the damn CNN article I cited above if anyone needs that proof. 

CNN article:

“The only source of light on this miserable day is the massive, multi-racial, multi-generational progressive resistance movement led by women and people of color that’s already emerging to confront Donald Trump’s agenda of hate and growing stronger every single day,” Democracy for America Executive Director Charles Chamberlain said in a statement following the inaugural ceremony.

Can't wait to see the racist democrats on these forums argue against me on any of these points. Anyone who defends the use of people of color can now be identified as a racist since the definition of people and the definition of color hasn't changed.

To be clear, you are cool in my books The_Yoda. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and consider things through the right lenses. This post was not directed at you by any means. Please consider what I wrote and digest it for what it is worth. 

I could be considered beige, peach perhaps with a tad of orange. The poor sods that are Albino's really get the blame for everything

(a.k.a the sad thing is, the term people of color doesn't even make sense)

Please God, please!

You are correct. People of color doesn't make sense at all. It is like saying maker of shoes instead of shoemaker.

Can we talk about who is the biggest winner here: JOE BIDEN. He'll go down as the only one defeating Trump.

If Harris had won, he would just be a footnote of an old fart keeping the seat warm before history would have been made with the first women president.

(Yes, I think his 'Garbage' remark, was fully intentional. Jill even wore red while voting)

The American electoral system is the most sophisticated system that civilized men could ever come up with.

The EC basically tells both parties:

A - If you only cater to either the rich or poor, you will lose.

B - If you only cater to the countryside or cities, you will lose.

C - If you don't attempt to appease all Americans, you will lose.

The Founding Fathers were practically political geniuses for their time.

I'll extend an olive branch: I totally get it, something's gone wrong. But I can't help but be frustrated when people on the right in this very thread make shitty posts like the one a couple above. That's totally dismissive and derisive but for some reason it's only the left who has to watch their rhetoric. The right has figured out how to make the shitty rhetoric a feature rather than a bug and it is wholly frustrating. People of positions of power on the right made jokes about the attack on Paul Pelosi while the democratic party in its entirety gets blamed if someone random on facebook does the same for Trump's assassination attempts. 

Here's a simple example. see if any republican on TV ever calls it the democratic party, no instead they call it the democrat party as a little insult every time. Or mispronounces people's names or says "Barack Houssein Obama". Is there anything like that from the left that is from positions of power rather than just random left internet users?

Trump is responsible for Jan 6th but none of these guys are responsible for radicalizing at least a couple individuals that tried to assassinate Trump .... seems a pretty big double standard to me.  

Edit - holy don't watch past the first couple minutes.  The word Fight suddenly started sounding weirdly wrong.  the first section of clips is what I was after, the second section completely lacks context and is just Dems using the word fight ... don't waste your time after like 2 min.

The only thing I saw of any concern seemed to be from actors. If someone on the left in a position of power had denied the results of the election and called people to the capital to protest I can see your point about double standards. Instead, what it seems like to me is that you were equating an amalgamation Democrat saying different things to a single individual, denying the election and then calling for protests which turned violent. And if that's all Trump had done I might just give him a pass if I wasn't aware of the elector shenanigans as well.

Im too lazy to go back to the original post, whats up with the test you guys are discussing? I took it 7 years ago and my wife took it 5 years ago so I may be able to provide an opinion on it.

All I can say is I failed first time not because I was too fast, but because I was too slow at 20mph on a 30mph rd. I also took the test in US and Brazil, for reference

It truly is a dumb argument between me and a few others.  Basically, on the theory test there is a question, "what do you do when you get a flat on the motorway?"  I answered, "change the tire," which was wrong.  The right answer is call "emergency services with the closest phone."  

I'm being told I am wrong and that isn't true.  Then it got into some stupid semantic war to prove I don't know what I am talking about for reasons.  Bear in mind I was questioned by folks who never stepped foot in the UK or haven't even taken the test, because of course they would know more.  Just like some in this thread knowing more about middle American than me, because some how living in middle America for 32 years means nothing. 

The UK driver's test is no joke, both the theory, hazard awareness and practical.  Way harder, and rightfully so, than US driver's test.

The irony being I think the whole emergency services to change tires on the motorway is actually a good thing and better than the US's perspective of "figure it out yourself."  So I even like their position, but some how I am still the enemy for reasons.  

Why a mod chose to bring up a completely off the topic discussion is a mystery to me.  

Oh got it. Yes the test is really hard in UK, and while I do not remember this question popping up I definitely believe this is a real question and the right answer is call emergency services. I dont know if I would do it though, I think I would say fuck it and change the tyre myself. I don't remember many people close to me failing the theory test, but I remember the hazard test was difficult and I almost didnt pass. The pratical test is hell on earth, a lot of people fail a few times.

My experience in US, 20 years ago, to get a drivers license in Michigan was 1) go to police station (???) to have the test, didnt study at all and had no idea whatsoever of US rules, passed first time. Then scheduled the pratical test a few days later, literally my first time driving in US, no idea of the rules, passed. The guy just said "yeah I can clearly see you have been dirving for a long time, just next time check if there is people crossing the street, you should have stopped for them twice. Passed, see ya!"

Brazil: You mostly need to pay to pass.

I don't know why I bother clicking these links. What a waste of my fucking time. First link is about protests that in no way got inside the Capitol building so that's certainly not the same. And the second link is a bunch of objections getting smacked down by Biden cuz they didn't have Senator signatures. I thought you would at least bring up the cavanaugh shit but no, it's even stupider. 

Are you trying to tell me that someone in a position of power on the left led the black block in 2017? Or did Biden or Obama make efforts to use their department of Justice and pressure state officials to upend the election? 

And then it was just a bunch of dumb crap about the use of the term "people of color". Just to make it clear just because both phrases contain the word color does not mean that they're the same. Just like if somebody uses the term black people or blacks hits notably different even if they have to both have the word black in them.
