Incidentally, Pete, now that you've appointed yourself as a guru for the more capable, perhaps you should go back to school and bone up on American government and politics? You're understanding of the American constitution is particularly weak.
It's Pete to friends - Turtle/Charlie to the rest of us.

Uwe Noble. You know we're laughing at you, right? The entire left is laughing at you. Sometimes we stop to pity you, but then we get back to laughing at you.

Keep supporting your oppressors. We've stopped trying to help you long ago because it's just funny at this point.
Laughing at me. This from someone who can write a line like "Keep supporting your oppressors" and keep a straight face. Yes I'm laughing a the crap you come out with.

I think I'll take education advice from someone who knows when to use a contraction and when to use a determiner.

I've demonstrated to you in as few syllables as possible how you are wrong, but you are steadfastly refusing to be corrected. This is one of the reasons we laugh at you.

By the way, would anybody like to join me in lauding Trump for his great generosity in donating his salary to the Veterans' Affairs department? How many other American Presidents have given up their salary like this?

Why not all three.

I believe the answer is yes.

Are those the same veterans he ripped off so much that the courts banned him from running any more charities? Or are they different veterans?

He won't be re-elected. A coup is different to winning an election. Would you like me to school you on that too?

Looking forward to a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court. This could go down as possibly Trump's greatest achievement.

I do realise how inconvenient it must be when someone points out the facts for you.
The facts, in their hoards, point to one conclusion. And that is Donald Trump is quite frankly a disgusting human being. His supporters seem to have a few methods of response to the mounting list of despicable things he's either said or done, i) other people behave badly too you know! ii) flat out denial any accusation has merit iii) understate the seriousness of any allegation. It's never a critical evaluation of a person who should be held to the highest standards, always the response of a wounded cat in a corner. And when I say "mounting list", it's genuinely massive. He can barely go a day without being horrific.

Here's another one for y'all. In 2016, Joe’s last year in office, the Bidens earned about $400k. In 2017 and 2918, the Bidens made more than $16.5 million. How did that happen? Has he paid his income tax on this?

They know. All Trump's supporters know exactly what he is. It's why they support him. In 2016 they had deniability. It was remotely possible they were just gullible fools, but there's no question now what he is and there's no question that it's why his supporters support him.
They are all in the basket now.

You have no idea whether DJT is a "disgusting human being". You just believe everything you read in the liberal media. You need a lie down.

Because Biden isn't a fraud he has released his tax returns.

So that’s why he’s barely paid any tax for over a decade. All is forgiven Don. I’m humbled by your generosity.

This is all Mitch McConnell and he had to invent a way to bypass the consitution in order to try and get it done.

I'm not surprised by the tax revelations but they are just one of an increasingly large number of revelations that show he is unfit to be president. Any normal president would have been removed for any one of these revelations but McConnell keeps him on because he gets to pack the courts.

I expect that the forthcoming election will result in violence. Trump will go out to an early lead and will then declare himself the winner. Postal votes will start to be counted and it will become obvious that he has lost but he'll dig in and litigate those votes out of existence. Violence will ensue. This is what happens when you campaign on division and smears instead of policy. Politics in the US has become toxic and there needs to be a serious rethink about how to conduct it, I'm not holding my breath though.
