Dear Josephus,

Mate even on that metric your tosser is a loser.

In 2008 the number of eligible voters was 213,313,508 and 32.58% of them voted for Obama.

Because the population of the US increased over that time in 2020 the number of eligible voters was 239,247,182 and only 31.02% of them voted for Trump.

Of course the vote that really mattered was Biden's at 81,283,098.

Give it away.

"You can see from mhaze's post how this works. First it was the Democrats to blame, then it was the media, then it was the big tech companies, then it was never-Trumpers, then it was Republican Governors, then it was Republican election officials, then it was the Trump appointed federal judges, then it was the Republican stacked Supreme Court and finally it was the Republican Vice President who Trump's mob wanted hung."

Standard SR. When you can't deal with my actual views. When they make toooo much sense for you to follow, then make up new views for me and then opinion how silly they are. Berk

LM,

I think you might need to research what is symbolised by the Reichstag fire. Sorry but I can't be bothered educating you any further.

SR,

Re Trump's approval rating. I was saying it increased but since you can't deal with that you go down a different rabbit hole. Standard SR.

I couldn't help but notice that you ignored the other data. Too raw?

Paul,

Nice rant; did you write it for your own amusement?

You should know that it's not good form to laugh at one's own jokes.

I meant to mention earlier that the Riley is going to be fitted with electronic (no points) ignition and EFI.

Issy,

Your huge win on Biden, after declaring TruMp a sure thing. LOL, I'd love to see your explanation. Is it on the PORKY AWARD THREAD?

Dear mhaze,

Mate you don't have actual views. When you get pulled up on anything they change at the drop of a hat.

'But that's not what I really meant and you know it.'

You just can't keep up with your own spin.

This is your current 'view' which is totally at odds with reality:

"Trump and the deplorables have had an election win and a chance to re-make the US in ways to make their lives tolerable ripped from their grasp by a combination of monumental electoral fraud and outright media lies and censorship."

They did not have a win they had a loss, in a landslide. Your President's party has lost control of the House, the Senate and the Presidency. Get over it.

Dear Mr Opinion,

You wrote to Canem Malum :

« You can like Trump if you wish but I must inform you that I think he has a undiagnosed mental illness »
.

According to the American Psychiatric Association :

• nearly one in five (19 percent) U.S. adults experience some form of mental illness
• one in 24 (4.1 percent) has a serious mental illness*
• one in 12 (8.5 percent) has a diagnosable substance use disorder

* Serious mental illness is a mental, behavioral or emotional disorder (excluding developmental and substance use disorders) resulting in serious functional impairment, which substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities. Examples of serious mental illness include major depressive disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder :

I cannot make a diagnostic on the mental health of Captain Ahab (alias Donald the dictator). I have no competence in such matters.

What I can say is that I have encountered a few people during my professional and private life whose “weltanschauung” (worldview) is very similar to that of Captain Ahab (alias Donald the dictator). It is what I think can best be described as a “topsy-turvy” view of the world. Everything is upside down and the wrong way round.

Facts are fiction. Beliefs are facts. Truths are lies. Friends are foes. Love is hate. Strength is weakness. Courage is cowardice. Loyalty is obedience. Devotion is servitude. Loss is victory. Fear is admiration … and add a “vice-versa” to each of those. Oh, and leadership is dictatorship – no questions asked !

That is the lens I have come to use to observe people like Captain Ahab (alias Donald the dictator). Naturally, the lens has to be adjusted for each individual until the image becomes perfectly clear.

Once the lens has been correctly focused, I no longer have any problem understanding the person’s “topsy-turvy” worldview and can better anticipate his or her erratic (error-atic) ideas and convictions and be better prepared for them.

Perhaps you might like to give it a try.
