A completely stupid, idiotic statement that cannot be supported in any way. And you ask what's wrong with me?

You would vote for Satan if he lied about being anti-abortion. Deny THAT!

OK. It gets wearisome, but I'll deny another dumb statement of yours. I deny THAT!

Just because we are not dimwitted enough to cause an arms race doesn't mean we have to match your spending

I don't care what you do so long as you take care of yourself and don't look to us to do it.

You have the prize for stupid and idiotic. Second place is nowhere in sight. You're a Trump supporter. 'Nuff said.

Try to control that ADS. It's getting the better of you.

Then explain why you support Trump. I used Satan in place of Trump because I know you Bible thumpers believe in that myth. A useful fiction to cast your personal blame elsewhere. Trump personifies the myth. Deny THAT!

Can you explain why Trump's core base is filled with white evangelicals? No, I didn't think so.

Wow. You took your drama pills today, didn't you? Well, of course I deny it.

I make statements I can support. You don't. I'm OK with that.

Regarding #1:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/un...ent-low-trump/

As is usual, your own site supported my contention in #1. "According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the country's unemployment rate dropped to 3.5% in fall 2019 — the lowest rate in about 50 years, since December 1969." They went on to say that it was not due to Trump. They, of course, have no way of knowing that. All that can be said is that it happened under his admin. You can be sure that if it had happened under the Obama admin, they would have fallen all over themselves giving him credit.

You should know by now that I don't make statements I don't feel pretty sure I can support.

No, you cherrypick and then lie.

Oh stop whining. Show me where I've done it and we can discuss it, but your lie about Gen. 3 is disgusting. You should be completely ashamed of yourself.

Let me repeat that -- They went on to say that it (low unemployment) was not due to Trump.

Wasn't that (the bolded sentence) the point? Then you added your own interpretation to it to confirm your own "truth".

You are right about our recent performances. That was entirely due to the moron some of us morons elected to the White House. We will get over it and are doing so with the old man in the WH now running things.

However, the rest of the world will long remember that America once elected a proto-fascist as the most powerful man in the world. God knows what he would have done had he been elected for a second term.

We now know his administration colluded with the Russians. Thank God he is no longer immune from prosecution (if he ever was - no thanks to the criminal AG Barr).

Yeh, Yeh, you had a bad trip getting on the Trump bus, but any failures are your own and have nothing to do with any supposed outside influence. I doubt you will do any better with a geriatric running things, he can't put two words together

That's one of the funniest things you've ever said here. For lack of coherence, you win the prize. You can barely put two words together and make sense.

You have a marked inability to coherently reply to a question or comment. Not blaming you for that, old age affects some people more than others.

Biden btw has had a speech impediment since childhood and has fought mightily to overcome it. It still arises from time to time and does not reflect his mental abilities. If you were really concerned about him, you would know that and not criticize him for something he should be congratulated for.

(Later edit: Correction: you do not win the prize for lack of coherence, someone else here is in first place.)

Here's your chance: Can you explain why Trump's core base is filled with white evangelicals who, btw, were prominent at the Trump Insurrection?

That's not my statement; it's your statement. It's up to you to support your own statements. I said I can support mine, not yours.

I'm going to disagree with you, Athos. I've known 'Clete since the late '90s (??) when we answered questions on one of the first Q&A sites -- and when that one died, moved to others. He always has a unique perspective, being on the other side of the world and living in the Southern Hemisphere. I may even still have the reports I did (in 4th grade) on emus and platypuses! We learned what an interesting and varied continent Australia and its inhabitants are.
