Does any of youse have an opinion on Yang? He's the guy offering $1000/month to every American citizen. I mean that's his campaign promise.
He polls at barely above zero but in the betting markets he just moved ahead of friggin Beto. Which is weird. I think it's that guys who play on predictit would really like $12k/yr with no work required, so they can play on their computers.
Does this guy have anything politically?

looks like he wants to pay for it with a Euro style VAT on everything. Basically the only thing you could buy that wouldn't explode from inflation or stupidly high rising costs is more domestically grown food and we don't exactly have a hunger issue over here. Maybe if they mandated rent control then that would help.
A better solution would be to free up income by bailing out young Americans with tons of student debt. Seeing as how the Fed can't do sh!t right now anyways since interest rates are low already and they're holding long term bonds worth about 4 trillion dollars, I'd say that's going to be a legit instrument during the next economic downturn. Lots of people who want to buy houses and consume all the dumb goods Americans love but can't because the money is getting sent to Uncle Sam instead

Just because it's a ~felony~ doesn't make it a big deal. Removing wood from the Petrified Forest is felony and I doubt that would help you win a presidential campaign. If you set the bar low enough then it's extremely likely every presidential campaign has "cheated," and they've certainly lied. I bet someone on Obama's campaign went faster than the speed limit once! Oh no!!
Draw a line and decide what's cheating and what's actually going to help you win a campaign. Direct collusion and full backing of the Russian government? Yeah, sure, I can believe that. Some b.s. technicality in campaign finance law? No, that doesn't absolve you of being WRONG about 2016.
Wow. So Tiny has warped your mind so much that you think a felony is not a big deal.
A felony can send you to prison. A felony is ALWAYS a big deal!!!
Wow. So. You are so obsessed with hating Trump that you exist in some weird black and white world where any deviation from the law no matter how small (which mind you, might not even be a fair law to begin with) is subject for imprisonment?
Tell me more about the time you opened up someone else's mail and did 10 years in prison. And I hope to God you've never visited a National Park after sundown you pathetic criminal trespasser!!!!
Trump tried to dump detainees in S.F.! I’m not even sure they’d mind, but that’s unbelievably stupid.

I don't open other people's mail. Nor have I criminally trespassed at a National Park.
I am stating the law. In the law, a felony is a crime with punishment that may include prison time of one year or more.

I want to recap some stories on Trump and his associates.
Let's start with the Access Hollywood tape that came out before the election.
Grab them by the P****
And people still voted for him

Are you intentionally being retarded to waste my fvcking time or are you actually that obtuse? Just curious
You're wasting your own time when you reply to someone.
An anonymous person online cannot waste your time.
But I agree with your point that there are degrees of felonies that are bigger than others.
I think tax evasion of millions of dollars and money laundering of millions of dollars would be a big thing, for example.

Biden isn’t done. If he’s done then Trump should have been a long time ago.
That is a logical statement. Unfortunately it probably isn't true. CURRENT Republicans do not hold their candidates to the same high standards that CURRENT Democrats do. We got rid of Conyers and Franken pretty much immediately upon accusations.
Biden already had the issue of being pretty damn old and seeming like every day of that age. Add in his touchy behavior over the years, and it just makes him seem out of touch and just old. He's just about last on my list at this point. I would vote for him of course over Trump if it got to that, but I don't think most Democrats are solidly in his corner. He will be 78 in November 2020. Time for him to enjoy the fruits of his labor and just retire.
Democrat voters didn't get rid of Conyers and Franken, the Democrat party did.
Biden still leads in the Democrat polls and voters may choose him over the others still.
The people that post on social media don't equivalently represent the people that actually vote.
Biden is leading because of name recognition. We are still a far way from any votes or even debates happening.
Plus we don’t need a bland remnant of a previous administration without STRONG feelings (HRC & Gore).
Nope...sorry brother. I said he couldn't win unless there was cheating. He cheated. I put no level of cheating on it, and this is pretty serious anyway and could have swung the election the other way if information about those two affairs came out right at the end (which is what they were trying to prevent). Again, during the 2016 election the whole Russia collusion thing wasn't part of my reasoning with regard to cheating. I didn't even believe there had been Russian collusion at that point. That wasn't clear until much later...until after he was in office. If I make a BIG claim that he can't win the election, then I get to decide the parameters of such a claim...and I did...no cheating and no involvement by space aliens.
It is not a technicality either. There are two types of campaign finance violations...one is a non-felony (what staffers on Obama's team were charged with), the other is a felony (what Trump did). It is a felony for a reason. It is there in order to try to level the playing field. Trump played with an unfair advantage...cheating. Makes me right about the 2016 election.
Going faster than the speed limit is not equivalent to TWO FELONIES that were committed with the precise purpose of keeping that information from the public so that he could win an election.
I was right about the 2016 election. You are usually right, but you are not here. I reject your assessment.

These are the facts and they are indisputable. The GOP has already read the tea leaves. Those up for re-election are already coming out against him in instances of Trump Insanity Talk.
