In fact not only do we not get along we are barely on speaking terms
A phone isn't a difficult piece of technology to operate. After years of Googling and being able to read and follow links it's not too hard to find information the information that comes on your phone.

You're simply making excuses for your laziness.

If the Troll posts the link, and does not read that link then he doing the laziest of research. It is up to HIM to read what he posts, and as he has consistantly proven he fails to do.

Love of Country is not Blind Patriotism. It is not devotion to one person or one party. It is knowing fighting for your country is single most important thing you can do. Do not accept the notion violence is the answer.

What he did was to post about how bad Mexican trucks and truckers are and then posted statistics comparing them to American truck drivers. Only, he took a small piece of data as proof instead of examining his link fully and then learned the numbers actually proved the safety inspection violations were almost identical to US trucks and the percentage of American truck drivers taken out of service was over three times higher than Mexican truck drivers. It was hos lack of properly examining his link that blew up in his face.

Board con cares NOTHING about truth. He supports DeSantis which is the same as saying you support the violent end of all POC, all LGBTQ etc. :twisted:

A modifaction of the truth is NOT the truth.

Kinda like that old "Modified Limited Hangout" from Watergate (soon to be 50-Years ago on June 17). You cannot modify the truth, any modification of the truth makes that truth a lie

I also explained that as a rule the DOT only stops suspect trucks or trucks from suspect companies for inspection.
Which explains why the USA numbers were that high.

Speaking of triumph the insult dog he’s at the traitors inauguration making fun of the stupid fucks


Also just watching the interview about Senator Mike Lee who lied about being involved in the attempt to send an alternate electors to overthrow the government and the journalist said it will not matter to the Republican party that he could read his lies on stage and they would give him a standing ovation.

Republicans are traitors and enemies of the human race and the biggest problem the human race faces other than Global warming.

Abbott’s truck stunt at the border cost Texas $4.2 Billion.

DeSantis’ homophobic tantrum with Disney could cost Floridians $2 Billion AND 25% higher property taxes.

If they’re willing to hurt their own constituents with political stunts, why the hell would anyone vote for them?

Easy. It’s easy to manipulate white cons. Just show a drawing of a Black kid in a math book and set up your campaign fund.

Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has granted a request to stay the execution of Melissa Lucio. Now she can prove her innocence.
Texas planned to execute Melissa Lucio on Wednesday. Republican and Democratic state legislators had prayed with her on death row and called for her execution to be halted. Sister Helen Prejean had spoken on her behalf. Even Kim Kardashian lent her support.

Why? Because Melissa Lucio is innocent.

Now the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has granted a request to stay her execution. Lucio will now have a hearing to prove that her conviction is wrongful and based on a coerced "confession," unscientific evidence and false testimony.

Lucia can point to her repeated assertions of innocence, and newly discovered evidence that wasn't presented at trial.

I represent women who have been wrongly convicted when no crime occurred. Perhaps shockingly, of the exonerated women listed in the National Registry of Exonerations database, 70% were victims of no-crime wrongful convictions......

I would like to meet her. A lot of sisters are *not f'ing around* with their advocacy work.
