That is an interesting opinion by you, that is of course, if you're not trolling. Solely because you have pointed out many times that the blue-pilled will vote Dem no matter what. That opinion I believe can be fact checked to be true. But if you are serious, I have so many questions. Please feel free to ignore them all.

Do you think that the incumbent Dems will get beaten by other "fresher" Dems or by another party.

If by another party, and of course I mean by a Republican, will they cry voter fraud?

If replaced by someone else in their party or by a Republican or even by some other party, do you think anything will change in the House of Representin'?

If it does change, will it be better or worse?

Why does the electricity not fall out of the outlet when nothing is plugged into it?

It has never worked.

Thus, Bannon is an idiot.

Claiming executive privilege when you'd already been forcibly ousted from the White house three and a half years prior to the alleged criminal conduct for which you are being investigated is also dumb.


(Helping Chinese billionaires launder money in order to purchase the US Presidency is also dumb, especially when you have that big of a target pained on your back, but that's not strictly relevant here.)


Cool hair, though.

Why did Trump write a letter waiving Bannon's executive privilege if he didn't have it to begin with?

I'm assuming everyone in the country is getting lower gas prices. By me, they seem to be down about $.80 from the peak. Go ahead and call me an ignorant conspiracy nut, but something tells me this trend will follow through to November just in time for the elections so that lo and behold, the Dems can pound their chest they brought gas prices down from historic highs. Naturally, they did nothing to raise them, but everything to bring them down. So I wonder, how low do you gentlemen think this will go? I'm guessing about $2.50/gal. Anyone else share this sentiment?

To try and make his buddy look slightly less non-credible, to present a "good-guy" image to his fanbase, and to get to feel like he still has some executive power.

That ain't Bannon, and Trump told him not to comply.

And...California can now use up to 15% ethanol in standard gas, and ethanol is taxed at a different rate than standard gas, is that being taken into account? And if ethanol is about 110 Ron, are the gas companies using the same 87/89/91 mixes, or are they using lower grade fuel in anticipation of the ethanol bump?

On the first part, yes, you're right. Here's a correct photo:





On the second part, I'm honestly going in a few different directions with that.

In terms of pure facts: you are saying (and I completely believe you here) that a person who was not the President instructed a person who had formerly been a member of the former-President's buddy club, long after both of them were no longer in any sort of Federal office, not to testify as to things which occurred three and a half years after he was separated from employment at the White House, on the basis of Executive Privilege.

So... does this mean that the plan to rectify the purported fraud of the 2020 presidential election was hatched during the first six months of the former President's term in office, in 2017?

This argument is ******* stupid. Contempt of Congress is bullshit charge that shouldn't exist in a country with the 1st amendment.

Well the REAL plans involved newly-learned information about Area 51 and a secret extraterrestrial base under the sea (near San Diego). As I understand it, YES, Trump and Bannon were claiming Executive Privilege, just as Eric Holder did with BHO.

When you consider that this was a joke of a farce of a miscarriage of justice, the Bannon non-trial was simply a side show. Two tier justice ain't justice. Not being able to face your accuser is not justice. No cross-examination? No justice. No equal representation, no justice. If you want to nit-pick Bannon, you completely, TOTALLY missed the point.

being a science-denier may be criminal offense.





Joe Biden has been implicated in payments for international sex trafficking. And his DOJ and FBI has been hiding the evidence for years. But Trump was mean!!!!

You make it sound so bad! It was just Hunter going on a bender and ordering up some hookers who went over state lines. Wasn't it?

your eyes also don't jump around digitally--in relation to your face--because your computing software is pretty poor.
