The subtle nature of Trump's corruption. There is one way to prove it and see it work.

..If, Biden is nominated, (and I am not endorsing Joe, although he would be a great candidate, as most would be,,) every time that the name Biden is mentioned, to many people, a thought will come that Joe is the guy that Trump tried to get information on, and his son, and the idea corruption will come to mind. You think that will pass? not be true? go away?
...The answer is never. Trump is impeached because of that corruption, and the name Biden signifies Trump's corruption. Yes, true Trumpers will ignore it, but most of us will think of Biden immediately and think of Trump trying to get dirt on Biden and his son. Kind of a "no brainer"
...When people think of Richard Nixon, if they lived through it all, guess what we think of, "I am not a crook" The Trump corruption will always be associated with Trump trying to get dirt on Biden. What better way to emphasize that corruption then nominating a person who will signify and strengthen the notion that Trump is corrupt,...every time the name is mentioned. And because of the media, and what the media has discussed, Trump will be associated with Biden corruption.
...Why say that? The media (all media) has mentioned the name Biden with Trump's corruption thousands of times. Not once but over and over and over, in many ways. Sometime the media approves, sometimes the media denies there is a connection between Trump and corruption. But Biden has been mentioned as a clean person, not trying to get dirt on Trump, and Trump has been mentioned as someone who did try, (or may have tried...depending what you want to believe) to get dirt on Trump.

Global Warming? Absolutely.. Right now it is 26 degrees above normal where I live.

Normal high temperature for the Chicago area on December 26 is 33 degrees. Right now it is 59 and we will get to 62. We have already set a record for heat for today. And it is about noon. People can argue this and that. But 60 degrees in late December in northern Illinois?. Tomorrow still predicted to be in the 40s, and that is 10 degrees above normal.
Sure it has been cold. And it will get cold again. But this is way beyond a normal heat spell in late December. Way beyond the beyond

Rudy exposed his anti-Jewish attitude. His anti Soro's comment is true hatred.

...Rudy has exposed a truth that is ugly, vile, and disgusting. That the Republican Party is deeply associated with anti-Jewish attitudes. Just as important, you need to know, that this will get around to Jewish people everywhere. Those Jewish people who voted Republican before, will never ever vote Republican again. Yes, an apology will come from some Republicans, perhaps even Rudy, but that will be meaningless. Rudy like Trump cannot keep his mouth shut.

...In another post, Rudy has doubled down, and will NOT apologize. (see post #4 below)

Rudy said, "I am more of a Jew than Holocaust survivor George Soros."

The Republican Party is NOT dead. They said the same thing about us in 1972

Democratic Party won one state: Mass.... I worked for McGovern, and watched the returns come in that night.
And they said it was "all over for us."... Strange how politics works & who wins in 76? Was it Jimmy Carter?

.... Yes, it was. Was the Democratic party "dead"? No it wasn't. There will always be an opposing party. The name might change, but what it stands for will be the same. Lots of money to support the Republican Party.
.......................say it again..........."Lots of money to support the Republican Party"........................
................................again.........."Lots of money to support the Republican Party".........................
................................again.........."Lots of money to support the Republican Party"

...............get the picture?


What happened in the 1972 election? ...Here is why they said Democratic Party was Dead.

It was held on Tuesday, November 7, 1972. Incumbent Republican President Richard Nixon defeated Democratic Senator George McGovern of South Dakota. ... Nixon won the election in a landslide, taking 60.7% of the popular vote and carrying 49 states, and he was the first Republican to sweep the South.
Nixon......................................................................McGovern
Electoral vote‎: ‎520 ....................................... ....... Electoral Vote 17
Home state‎: ‎California........................................ Home state South Dakota

States carried‎: ‎49 ........... ....................................... States carried: 1
Popular vote‎: ‎47,168,710 ....................................................29,174,000
Percent of vote 60.7...............................................................37

The Democratic Party did not die after this election. We won the very next election..
The idea is this: Never, ever, underestimate the opposition, no matter what it looks like..

Question: Who tells the truth, and who lies?..That's it.

...In the end, that is what it comes to. Who do you trust to tell the truth? Who lies the most? I had a known liar tell the truth to me once. A student (I was also a student in high school) informed me that Kennedy had been shot. He was telling the truth, but I needed it to be verified. That fellow lied about everything but that.
...Yes, Trump lies and lies and lies. So much so that CNN published an article yesterday about his lies in the last two weeks. (it is in Editorials & Other Articles) ..But it doesn't matter. Trump has proven beyond any doubt that he lies most of the time. He makes things up, and tries to verify them with more lies. Seventy percent of the U.S. believe that he is a habitual liar. Maybe 5 percent are not sure, and the 1/4 remaining believe Trump is telling the truth, and the rest are lying. Don't ask why, that is who Trump supporters are.Maybe the numbers are not totally accurate, but there are a lot of people who believe Donald Trump. I don't, but some do. Or, some don't care that he lies all the time. He is their "leader."
...It is not a new show. In the 50s, the show was that Native Americans do nothing but kill others. It was all a lie. So many other examples. " The war in Viet Nam was a just war" It was not. Nixon: "I am not a crook", Nixon was indeed a crook. It goes on and on.
...Trump has gotten away with lying in the past, and he will continue to do so. In the end, Donald Trump will be known as a "liar" first, and the rest after that. Nancy Pelosi is telling the truth. Who is McConnell protecting? Nancy Pelosi or Donald Trump?

Trump makes 99 false claims in 2 weeks: CNN

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/21/politics/fact-check-trump-two-weeks-december/index.html

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Washington (CNN) — President Donald Trump made 99 false claims over the two weeks that ended last Sunday.

Trump made 22 of the false claims at a campaign rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He made 16 of them in a lengthy exchange with reporters during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

The economy was Trump's top subject of dishonesty, with 25 false claims. He made 22 false claims about military affairs, largely on account of his presence at a NATO summit. He made 15 false claims about NATO itself, 11 about impeachment.

Trump is now averaging 63 false claims per week since we started counting at CNN on July 8, 2019. He made 38 false claims last week, 61 the week before.

No........I did not make this up...CNN proves this..Listen and watch...Good Luck!!!

Why Joe Biden is our best bet.

Every time you hear the name "Biden" we now think about Trump's corruption.

...Because Trump tried to get dirt on Biden's son. It is that simple. Yes, 30 percent will vote for Trump. Or maybe 35 percent. But the rest of us, will not vote for Trump, and we have all heard hundreds of times that Trump wanted dirt on Biden's son. So, there is already significant sympathy for Joe Biden and the focus will be on Trump's corruption..every time we hear the word "Biden"
...We must win in order to save this country and undo some of the crap that Trump has done. Trump cannot deal with the word, "Biden" and attacking Joe only makes Trump look worse. (Which is what we want, isn't it?)
...We want Donald Trump to look worse to the most. Joe Biden will do that, because Trump has already done some "illegal" acts to the Biden Family. And keeping those acts in the public eye is most important. Just saying the word "Biden" highlights Trump's evil acts which he was impeached for.

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
