The article you’ve provided clearly says Trumps dialogue is not to be taken literally. ( It does say there are other ways the election might be tinkered with, but these are for another discussion. ) I don’t find that article to be particul

Odd you should pick Favre. How about Elizabeth Warren, who cheated deserving minorities out of benefits, then going on to be fabulously wealthy as a modestly paid public servant? Does she trip your rage trigger as well?

You can see it moving, hear it revving, and watch the huge clouds of tire smoke. The social contract says you have to follow the laws our representatives write and our police enforce. A good citizen fights the cops in court, with laws. A
