Ask them if they really think the federal government, under both Republicans and Democrats, spent 40 years covering up for Donald Trump. All so that it could be revealed now.

we can't bring logic and truth to a dogma-fight.

That's a good one, I might have to steal it.

What’s also being missed is that the “Biden admin” has these docs for four years; if anything in there could’ve taken down Trump they’d have released it long ago.

The torpedoes they keep launching continue to circle back around & take out their own people.

Ask Ted Lieu about the "Shrimp Boy" incident and his connections (documented) to the case, involving drug smuggling, arms smuggling, CCP involvement, democrat party contributions, personal meetings between Lieu and "Shrimp Boy", and various criminal enterprises entailed in the saga. There is at least enough evidence of crime to warrant a full scale DOJ investigation.

"The left has also mastered a particular rhetorical trap: dismissing specific, verifiable details in favor of “the bigger idea.”" Yep...but they've been at that ever since Dan Rather's "fake but true" account of GWB's Guard record. Nothing they believe is grounded in what people would consider reality.

Should read "most rational people would consider reality."

Here we go again — the political Hail Mary built on repetition, not evidence. If there were proof, it would have surfaced during the endless investigations, impeachments, subpoenas, leaks, and hostile DOJ scrutiny over the last decade. Instead, what we get is recycled, uncorroborated allegations from decades ago amplified for maximum election-year impact. That’s not accountability — it’s narrative warfare. The tactic is simple: make the charge graphic enough, repeat it loudly enough, and let the stain linger whether proven or not. But accusations are not convictions. Evidence matters. Due process matters. And political desperation is not a substitute for proof.

The new calumny is actually even worse than this tried and true strategy of repeating uncorroborated accusations to establish guilt. The current standard for guilt — at least as it pertains to President Trump — is now to simply state that “his name was mentioned” so many times in the Epstein files. At first it was “hundreds” of times, then “thousands” of times, then today I actually heard a commenter say that Trump’s name was mentioned “tens-of-thousands” of times. No context for the mentions, mind you. No agreement on the number of mentions. Just that his name appeared. Voila! PROOF of guilt!

Seriously?? And, how many people are swallowing this garbage? I really don’t want to know the answer.

My TDS mom has been insisting it was "proven" he raped a 13 year old. She makes it sound fairly recent. She also insists it's "proven" that Trump's guilt is everywhere but it us "proven" he specifically ordered his undermines to remove his name from it, and that's why the most recent magic bullet to get Trump was a dude. She insisted for the last year she only wanted the list to help all those poor underage victims, not to get Trump, no sirree, she doesn't really care if he is in it, its about justice, but of course now none of the information available matters and going after the people named is irrelevant, everyone knows Trump is the only guilty party in the fabled list and if he isnt in there, then someone took him out.

She did the same thing with the Mueller report. Totally proved as fact everything she emotionally wanted to be true about Trump but it was all hidden in the redactions.

If during the Biden years the Democrats had released the files with literally everything redacted except Trump and anyone thought to be his ally, she would have been happier than a pig in shit and declared justice done and the case closed and supported blocking any further investigations into it. You know, because this is about justice, not just punishing Trump for hurting her feelings with his rudeness.

She loves the Meidas Report. She also fought me about Trump saying to inject bleach, and now denies she ever thought or said that. That shows you the quality of her sources right there.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Also: it's good that the organization that runs NPR and PBS can no longer feed at the government trough.

The Leftys you're corresponding with are showing the truth of a couple of Hitler's maxims about propaganda:

“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”

“The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.”

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”

-- Adolf Hitler

At least we know that it still works. The one who says if an accusations is made true if it is repeated 100 times is stupid beyond all measures of stupidity. You really shouldn't bother with people like that.

Except that they all get to vote, so they get to bother with you.

I am very glad you have added U for “ungodly” to the AWFL acronym!

Could also be “unhinged”.

I can’t help but remember, back in 1965, we had “toga parties.” Yes. We did.

I went to Animal House. We had one on campus.

It is true. University was so much fun back then, radical fun. Fun fun.

Fun times. Did I say, fun?

Thankfully, I think the #MeToo era has inoculated a lot of people against this nonsense. We've seen enough false accusations that look *exactly like this,* of something allegedly happening decades ago but with nothing to back it up, that I think this will backfire on the Democrats; more people will look at this and just roll their eyes and say "wow, they're really getting desperate, aren't they?" than will actually give it any credence.

I think this should be the pivot point into armed conflict. Let democrats defend their lives because of their mouths. Everything they think do or say must carry weight, so maybe it's finally time to stop. This isn't another "little thing," it's more of the same to distract from failed authoritarian fascist efforts to make everyone else like them, crazed pigs with no clue.

The DEMOCRATS will not need a message to win the House in 2026. Orange Man Bad, a do-nothing Senate and a bifurcated electorate are more than enough…

★ The Totenberg Rule - FIRST, THERE IS **NO OFFICIAL TOTENBERG RULE**

▾The concept typically refers to one of the following contexts:

1. The "Friendship Exception"

In journalistic ethics, the "Totenberg Rule" (or "Totenberg Exception") refers to her long-standing, 50-year friendship with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Related Legal Rulings

2. If you are referring to a legal "rule" issued by Judge Amy Totenberg (Nina’s sister and a Senior U.S. District Judge), it likely pertains to her significant rulings on Georgia's voting systems:

Northern District of Georgia (.gov)

▾Voting Machine Ban: In 2019, she issued a preliminary injunction preventing Georgia from using its old electronic DRE voting machines, requiring a move to paper-auditable systems.

▾Age Verification: More recently, in 2025, she blocked Georgia’s social media age verification law, citing potential violations of free speech protections

“Kafkatrapping,” defined as: your refusal to acknowledge that you are guilty of [some charge] simply confirms that you are guilty of it. The burden of proof is applied unequally. Conservatives and Republicans are not afforded the same evidentiary standard in the court of public opinion.

Truly, the conservative movement needs it's own 5th column; its own media attack strategy; its own brigade executing the Alinsky Rules for Radicals.
