    Thank you for your reply. I still do not agree with you, but I appreciate you taking the time to thoughtfully articulate your views so that I may better understand them. You and I have a different interpretation of the information regarding the allegations of his financial misdeeds. I have no...

    Prior to 2008, no more attention than I gave to most every other Senator. I am sure that with some digging, I could find things he has said or done that I think are reprehensible, but that is true for all politicians. After all, a degree of narcissism and moral “flexibility” just seems to come...

    I am genuinely not seeking to criticize you or anyone else for believing what you do about Biden. I try to at least understand all points of view, but this is one that I struggle to grasp. I can understand being vehemently opposed to Biden’s political views or believing that Biden is incompetent...

    This is a bit of a loaded question. Of course I will vote against anyone who wants to kill me regardless of their political party. There are plenty of Democrats who are outspoken defenders of the Jewish people and of Israel, just as there are plenty of Republicans who are not. I vote based on...

    Do you think that is because voting by mail encouraged more left leaning people to vote who otherwise would not, or that left leaning people who would have voted anyway were more inclined to choose mail as their preferred method?

    You are right, I was remembering what I had read about the surge in Republican voting in the California primary. Unlike wine, my memory does not improve with age. It seems that in heavily blue states, Republicans are less incentivized to vote in primaries (for obvious reasons) but voting by mail...

    I do not have a desire to get into Clarence Thomas, but he and his wife have made their opinions known on the election. A 7-2 split is also neither rare nor evidence of anything nefarious.

    This is true. It is also true that older voters tend to vote more Republican and tend to vote at a higher rate. It is also true that mail in voting statistically increases the vote share of republicans, especially in blue states. I assume it is because it makes it easier for seniors to vote, but...

    Yes, and SCOTUS had multiple election cases brought to them, including Pennsylvania. They declined them all. https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-pennsylvania-elections-us-supreme-court-5cc6aee8c328c7bb1d423244b979bcec

    From what I have read, mail in votes tend to boost Republicana, probably because it makes it easier for seniors to vote. As you said, it sure seems Republicans shot themselves in the foot with that one in 2020.

    This very well may be true. Who am I to say? I am certainly no expert on state election law. However, SCOTUS was given ample opportunity to intervene if they thought any states were doing something untoward, and yet they did not. It is also not as it SCOTUS has had any qualms about getting...

    Sure is odd that 2016 was such a free and fair election when Obama was running the show, but once Trump took over, the 2020 election was mired in cheating and corruption. Hmmm

    With regard to Biden getting more votes than Obama…so did Trump

    That is like saying, “Well, a US company could break the law and steal our data and sell it to the Chinese, so we might as well allow the Chinese to legally install spyware onto the phones or over 100 million Americans.” Sure, banning TikTok is not a perfect solution to all of the myriad...

    My understanding is that it does not target users at all, but rather the company that owns TikTok from being able to operate in the US, as well as app stores from distributing the app.
