    Yeah, I was dating a girl who was good friends with his mother. Used to crash at their place after shows back when SWIL was playing alot in 2003-2006. GF and I would sleep in his bed once in a while when he was at his fathers.

    And before you ask, no we didn't soil his bed with ANYTHING.

    Yeah, broke my heart to hear what happened. When he was young he was a good polite kid. And of course the victims and their families.
    But then GF and I broke up and so all of us became distant. Then years later I saw the news.

    But the Clinton thing is kinda my point. No one is screaming for him to be prosecuted... that I see anyhow.

    I get it. He isn't president anymore, so its not a priority like the Pres. but the thing is, the hatred should be as much for him as it is for Trump or its a tell that there is obvious bias.

    I'm not some evil person like the bulk of this forum wants to try to paint me as, simply because I don't buy into gossip, hearsay and biased news and I try to maintain an open mind up until ALL the facts are out.

    I'm also human can make mistakes like everyone else and I can miss news or information, as this world moves fast and todays headline is often lost by tomorrows headline, so if you don't see things instantly, sometimes ignorance plays a part.

    I just wish that more people understood they are so far away from these cases there is no way to know all the truth and details and so I find it concerning, so many people can come to such a conviction all the while not even being close to the facts or the truth and only relying on the media, which we all know is just out to manipulate the masses to their directives.

    Maybe I missed some pertinent info that others have seen...but this place.... Instead of asking if one knows about this or that, is just sooo quick to say your racist, or your a Trump loyalist or your evil or your stupid, or whatever. I don't know how many times it was insinuated in the last couple of days about me that i'm a Trump loyalist, but I laugh at it. I didn't vote for him and it just shows that people come to conclusions and then don't listen to anything else that SHOULD alter their opinion if they had an open mind. But they don't. I can say I didn't vote for Trump a thousand times here but it will be ignored and the same people will come back with their condemnation of me simply because I struggle to keep my opinion based on facts and not rumors or unsubstantiated reports and I don't buy into their line of thinking.

    If I wanted to insult you, believe me, you would know.

    I wouldn't insult you, even though you are a dog.

    I am concerned but keep in mind for some reason Trumpers feel the need to display their Trumpiness. They love flags and getting people riled up. It’s part of their shtick, it’s a way to give the middle finger to people. The rest of us don’t have the need for the attention. Or we would drive huge trucks with huge tires and a ten foot Biden flag out the back. But maybe we don’t care that much or don’t have micro-penises I don’t know

    You don't have to drive very far to find Trump signs.

    He was prosecuted in ways. He was impeached and he was sued and paid his victims off. He was a good president, but he was a sick man. His deeds were one reason Hilary didn't get elected.

    Trump is both a bad president and a bad man.

    No one is trying to make you out as evil here

    No, there is no way to know all the details. But, a president should act a certain way. He/She should be held to a higher standard. No other president has acted the way Trump has, and if they had they would be forced to step down.

    I had to laugh when people were talking about "updating" the electoral college, since essentially the update would be making the electoral college representative and proportional. In other words, make it match the popular vote....lol

    to you point which is a good one. And I'm fully on board the 'D's packing the court train' if they sweep the elections. It would be the D's using power in the same manner the the R's always do when they have it. IMO, the SC should have at least 19 justices, but that's an argument of degree

    That really depends on how many you intend to set fire to. My quota is pretty high.

    There is zero chance of Trump getting reelected. Why? Because I will not allow it!

    You have to love a poll that is entitled...."Likely Voters"........you know mags makes these up several times a day, right? What Trump is going to face are "Unlikely Voters" and by and large composed of minorities, seniors and younger people who either were Republicans or have never voted before.

    It's only interesting in the sense of immediate results.

    It doesn't show us how MANY people have voted. If there are 120 Ds and 90 R's (not saying those are the #s), those #'s don't mean shit compared to the total # of voters.

    Now, if we only knew how many total votes will be cast, we'd really have something.

    it's especially interesting if you don't do math

    * around 130 million people voted in 2016. Estimates are around 150 million will vote in 2020

    * the number of people who have already voted is approaching 100 million. Call it that for fun

    * so Biden is at 66 million and trump at 32 million in the 'already voted' category

    * so then trump gets 69% of the 50 million election day votes; about 34.5 million. That gives trump 66.5 million

    * and Biden gets 27% of those 50 million votes, or 13.5 million. That gives Biden 79.5 million

    so then, Biden wins by 13 million, which sounds about right if the national polling is close
