Some convert joins up, and starts dissing the Pope? Just excommunicate this loser, and ban him from Heaven. Surely the Pope has that kind of power.

MAGA is virtuosically incompetent. Ultimately, that's what will save America. Unfortunately, they're doing a lot of damage along the way.

"Okay, that's nice..."

MAGA has come to the Catholic Church, and we've all seen what happens when MAGA comes to town. If he's smart, the Pope should excommunicate him immediately, and threaten every other MAGA with the same if they don't straighten up.

See, how is that legal? JFC...

Thanks, corrected.

States use a variety of methods for voting, and not all use machines. Besides, all they need are two companies, and if one gets a bad rep, states will buy from the other one, so they both have to balance any temptation to cheat against their profits.

Do you really think the violence of the Israeli state is limited to Palestinians?

No, of course I don't think that, and I wrote the exact opposite, and you even quoted it:

The Israelis have had ample opportunity to reign in their aggression toward their neighbors for years

And I even mentioned them bombing Lebanon. So, no, I DON'T think their aggression is limited to Palestinians, as I clearly indicated.

I understand entirely. I've been studying this stuff closely ever since they stole the 2000 election.

The problem with rigging Congressional districts is that there are so many of them, all run by different people, in different regions of every state, that it becomes impossible to keep close enough track of them to 1) Pull off the crime, and them 2) Keep it quiet. With multiple people involved with each district, sooner or later you'll have someone feel guilty, get arrested and want to cut a deal, change their political affiliation, get angry and want revenge, etc. With that many people, in that many districts, it would be impossible to keep it under wraps.

Presidential elections are much easier. You only have to flip one race in only seven swing states, a much easier assignment.

Your voting is recorded, but not the actual candidates you voted for. In 2024, there were a lot of anecdotal reports from the swing states of people finding that their ballots had entirely disappeared, which was probably cases of ballots being challenged and tossed out. That's common in many states. Florida uses it routinely, to challenge votes in Democratic counties, until the vote whittles down to a slight Republican lead, and then they call the race. That's how both DeSatan and Rick Scott, and other Florida MAGAs, won by very slight fractions of a percent, against far more popular Democrats.

Vote challenges and dismissals are a major vote suppression tactic in Red states, and the media NEVER covers it.

I feel he should have been instantly disqualified and imprisoned just for that phone call to Georgia where he's like (paraphrased) "C'maaahn, guy, just get me some votes. Gimme some votes (or else), guyyy."

Absolutely! And if that wasn't enough, we actually have the 14th AMENDMENT, that prohibits anyone who has participated in an Insurrection, from holding office, and yet not a single Democrat tried to invoke that amendment.

That would have kept Trump from ever holding office again, as well as numerous other MAGA traitors. It wouldn't have been a controversy - he clearly planned and launched a violent Insurrection, and the 14th Amendment covered it perfectly. MAGA would scream, but that's what they get for losing their Insurrection. If you shoot at the King, you best not miss.

Except they did miss, and instead crushing them for it, the Dems gave them a Mulligan - go ahead, take another shot at destroying America. If the Dems had shown any leadership at all, they could have easily, and legally, kept all MAGA traitors out of office, but they were too cowardly, as usual. MAGAs will use any law, policy, amendment etc., and manipulate it far beyond any reasonable expection, to get what they want, but Dems won't even use the tools that our ancestors gave us to avoid exactly the situation we are in. If those composers of the 14 Amendment could see this, they would be so angry at 21st century Dems: "WHY DO YOU IDIOTS THINK WE PASSED THOSE FUCKING AMENDMENTS?"

Valid. Cheating is their normal default state, so they're good at it. You can't take your eyes off these people for a second, they're waiting for that exact moment to strike, and they're always doing something to distract us from their active corruption.
