Methinks he would if someone claimed that Biden made a statement that could only be interpreted as him desiring to have sex with his own daughter.

Blackrock, Vanguard etc are way too big today. 20 years ago your typical fund managed a few billions and were doing just fine, you don't need to have one company run assets the size of Japan and Germany's combined GDP, trillions concentrated in just one set of hands...that's too much power. Antitrust.

Separation of Church and State, yes, but that does not mean the leaders cannot be religious. Trump was most likely the least religious president we have had in recent years, with Obama, Clinton and definitely the Bushes more devout Christians even if their policies did not reflect it. They believed in separation of church and state even if they personally believed in their personal choices due to their faith that differ from their policies. Not sure about Biden even if he is a Catholic.82gradDLSdad said:calbear93 said:bearister said:

Another no chance that you should listen to is Vivek Ramaswamy. He has no political experience so that is a huge strike (or not?) but he is smart, well spoken and not a kook. I like Tim Scott but when I heard him finish a campaign speech with, "can I get an Amen" I was turned off. And I was born and raised Catholic. No longer a believer but all my friends still are. I just happen to believe in the separation of church and state. Shocker, I know.

Big picture - I don't think there's ever been an election in history where the absentee vote was so large. The opportunities for cheating are orders of magnitude greater in absentee voting than in in-person. In PA Biden got 76% of the absentee vote... We're talking about hundreds of thousands of votes here, not a few thousand Black people in Dukes of Hazzard country being purges from the ballots.

Oh?? How??
Whether you vote in person, or by absentee ballot, you still have to be registered, and your signature has to be authenticated -- it has to match your previous signatures in the poll book. Where are these "orders of magnitude?"
When Trump did his campaign against absentee/mail-in voting, it probably cost him the election. He was so focused on reducing the number of Democratic mail-in voters that he also discouraged a lot of senior-citizen, reliable GOP voters from voting that way.
I'm disappointed, Cal88. Not up to your usual standards.

"the Carter-Baker report warned: "Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud."
