- Re: Trump's big 2020 election speech tonight, Robert
- Wow, this article took forever to come up. I think it's available in full from theblaze.com . IIRC, there are a lot of speeches which are not broadcast on ABC, CNN, or NBC. It was broadcast on PBS, CBS, NPR, and Pacifica Radio. I even got to hear it on You...
- Re: Trump's big 2020 election speech tonight, Robert
- Interestingly, I did not hear the Schumer, Jeffries, nor Newsom rebuttals on any stations. I suppose in some strict sense, this could be considered censorship, but I have doubts. Anyway, NPR did an in-depth investigation and concluded that the documents do...
- Re: Trump's big 2020 election speech tonight, Robert
- I just heard that the current presidential administration made major cuts to the department (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) that oversees interference in elections. Why in the world would do that if you were concerned about interference ...
- Re: Trump's big 2020 election speech tonight, Robert
- Just to be clear: this is from the article: "CISA was established in 2018, during the first Trump administration and received broad bipartisan support, investment and praise." So, its primary design and operation was for monitoring election interference. b...

- Re: Trump's big 2020 election speech tonight, Robert

- Re: Trump's big 2020 election speech tonight, Robert
- Republican Voters: Tend to view traditional briefings with skepticism, often seeing them as platforms for "hostile" media to attack the President. They generally favor Trump’s direct, unfiltered communication (via gaggles and social media), interpreting i...
- Re: Trump's big 2020 election speech tonight, Robert
- I think you're right. Formal press briefings would've been better because, according to Brave Leo, "Ronald Reagan did not stop holding press briefings specifically because of confirmed cognitive decline, though his frequency of formal press conferences dro...
- Re: Trump's big 2020 election speech tonight, Robert

- Re: Trump's big 2020 election speech tonight, Robert
- It was just fear. Biden's staff thought that admitting cognitive decline was tantamount to giving up any hope of a Democratic Party presidency, as when Richard Nixon left office. Completely irrational, of course, but I think that's what grabbed his staff a...

Re: July 17, 2026 (fwd), robert

- Re: July 17, 2026 (fwd), robert

- Re: the income tax, Robert

conservatives in polls, Robert

history matters, Robert

Re: 🥬 Salad spin (fwd), robert
