I'm Never Trump, but the OP is beyond disingenuous and stupid. Trump lost 4 states by less than 1% (and 51 electoral votes): AZ, PA, WI, GA. Without those electoral votes, Biden would have lost. As for the irrelevant popular vote, Trump's % > Clinton's in 1992

Hell no! This country became the world's greatest economy due to immigrants. We had a century of bad immigration laws which have queues years long at current quotas. It is grossly immoral to scapegoat immigrants for stupid laws that hurt our economy.

Congratulations. I'm not an immigrant or an MD, but my primary language in kindergarten was French. I was a valedictorian at 16 and college graduate at 19. I'm an MIS PhD: I don't put it on my handle. I am very pro-immigration and would lift all quota caps. Trump uses the issue.

No, this is actually a fairly weak argument. Ask me if I give a damn what stupid Statists require elsewhere. This is pushing on a string rubbish which would deprive you of exercising your political right over some misplaced arbitrary mark of the beast.

Hell no. Even a dimwitted leftist authoritarian like you is seriously not going to target a former POTUS and Presidential nominee paying his respects at the request of Gold Medal families. Trump could not ask for better publicity. I happen to be Never Trump, but this is stupid.

I suppose leftists like Clooney actually believe that, paying lip service to Biden's capitulation of his nomination under pressure from the party elite and donors, fools other people. It's a soft coup.

No. He's an evil career political whore, and America deserves a lot better. His Presidency has been a failure. Entertainers should keep their incompetent boring, self-indulgent opinions to themselves rather than expose their stupidity to the world and alienate half their fans.

Hell no. Leftists think every Never Trump vote belongs to them. Pemce would never vote for a socialist like Harris. I suspect he will protest-vote for a third-party candidate like Chase Oliver or write-in a vote, perhaps even himself

No. By any objective standard, Trump is an incompetent debater. I wrote 3 posts on details of this year's infamous Trump/Biden debate. The debate was not won by Trump so much as lost by Biden. Biden went basically incoherent at points. Trump wasn't incoherent, just wrong.

Trump is an anti-trade protectionist. It's a policy that harms economic growth. Part of the issue is Trump's economic illiterate understanding of the trade deficit. I bash Sen. Graham's Trumpist rhetoric in a recent podcast. https://t.co/ftRBzXjNPo

I honestly thought the Trump daughter-in-law's music video was a prank or parody. The late Karen Carpenter was wrong: "Don't worry that it's not good enough For anyone else to hear, Just sing, Sing a song" Daddy-in-law won't steal her music..

No. Trump is the most unprincipled, corrupt, self-serving political whores ever to occupy the Presidency.

The whole partisan leftist tweet is rubbish, but I'm tired of the latter trite accusation.

Leftists lack analytical skills. Federal mandates have nothing to do with to with voluntary exchanges in the private sector. Federal subsidies exacerbate inflationary trends. You need to look at things like barriers to entry to daycare providers.

The relevant question was NOT whether contraceptives were good or bad but as the dissents of Griswold noted, the right of the federal government to trump state laws over a made-up right to privacy not enumerated in the Constitution. States are not likely to restrict BC today.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) September 5, 2024
No. This is Constitutional illiteracy. It's true that the Griswold decision was/is flawed for much the same reasons. Health regulation from a Constitutional basis is a state, not federal responsibility. Contraceptives have been around since at least the nineteenth century

Idiot! You leftist morons are making an issue over Trump mistaking someone from an old photo, probably with small faces. Here's a side by side; they are both blond and have similar features.

Gaslit by Trump, lawyers and Trump's Justice Department. Quayle had also won office statewide like Pence. So, Pence was probably looking for some reassurance he had been doing the right thing
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) September 7, 2024
Typo. Clear from context. Quayle didn't talk to Trump on Christmas; Pence did. These leftist idiots are giving Quayle undue credit, when in fact Pence rejected Trump before ever talking to Quayle. That's just a fact.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) September 7, 2024
This is an outright lie by a leftist troll refusing to give Pence the credit he deserves. The Woodward claim simply discusses a late Dec. call. The fact is Quayle on the record told Trump on Christmas he couldn't do it AS HE HAD REPEATEDLY SAID earlier (cf. Smith indictment).

I don't know NY state law and how or why the SCOTUS immunity ruling may be relevant. Trump's issue in NY has to do with a hush money decision when Trump was still a private citizen. I don't know the timing of the misstated business transactions but they aren't protected.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) September 7, 2024
How stupid are Trump's lawyers? They want to dismiss the NY (not federal) business fraud convictions based on SCOTUS' Presidential immunity ruling. First of all, SCOTUS deals with the US Constitution, not the NY state one. Second, Trump's fraud was private, not official conduct.
