How? He won the popular vote.
He got less than 50% of the popular vote. It's simple. He still got more than the other three. It's good to see that he finally won a popular vote . He's now 1 for 3.

Yes, he got his hind end kicked by Hillary, in the popular vote but he won the Electoral votes. He got smashed by Biden and finally won the popular vote.

Absolutely the Democrat party in power as manifest over the last four years has been a threat to Democracy! To not see that shows a blindness to actual facts and an over exposure to and belief of liberal propaganda spewed by the corrupt MSM.
Tell me some actual facts, with reference to a proof for them.
What does »MSM« mean?

The Book of Romans was addressed to Roman citizens,
If you look into the name list in Rom 16, there are not many roman names. A great deal of the persons greeted were no Roman citizens.
specifically the Gentiles. This action was considered a clear violation of Roman law.
Which law? Why do Roman authors that lament over the »many« Roman proselytes do not say this proselytizing was illegal?
Romans were persecuting Christians long before the fire in AD 64. Acts 18:2 mentions that Priscilla and Aquila left Rome between AD 49 and AD 54, around the same time Paul wrote the letter to the Romans.
This was according to a verdict of Claudius, not against Christians, but against Jews in general.
Your point about Nero burning Christians is accurate, as this event occurred after AD 64. However, it is important to note that the persecution of Christians in Rome began prior to 64 AD.
There is no record of Romans persecuting Christians prior to 64 AD. In Acts, you find evidence to the contrary.
The Romans allowed monotheistic preaching exclusively among the Jewish population to maintain their satisfaction, but prohibited monotheistic theology throughout the rest of the Roman Empire. Preaching Christianity, which contradicted pagan beliefs and promoted the worship of a single True God, was considered an affront to the divinity of the Emperor.
Neither Gallio, nor Festus, nor the proconsuls in the Asia (alluded to in Acts 18:38) thought that way. Your speculation is without any basis.

There are plenty of violent criminals on the street. One of the things the Biden administration did was to get rid of DNA testing at the border. Under the Trump administration DNA showed that a portion of the children tested were not related to the supposed adult relative they were traveling with. The new Democrat policy gave pretty much a free hand to the cartels for child trafficking. Likewise the Biden administration did not do thorough checking before sending unaccompanied minors off to various locations. Joe and crew have lost track of huge numbers of children. Realize that many families do not have the money to pay the cartels so they have to work off the money. The cartels threaten to kill their loved ones if they don't do as the gangs or cartels say, and we don't track to see if they are ever released.

Are the cartel bringing these children into America and then selling them to Americans? Do we have American business using millions of child labor or children as sex slave in America? What is the point of human trafficking if they are not making money?

That's not hard for Republicans. The Electoral College helps them.

Strictly speaking, the Electoral College helps sparsely populated states. Right now, most of them are leaning Republican, but it could be otherwise in the future.

Donald Trump wasn't convicted of rape. ABC just had to pay $16 million for repeating that lie



Donald Trump is a convicted rapist.

If you want to weasel around with technical definitions, Trump was not found guilty of having penetrated her with his penis, which is what the legal definition of rape requires in New York; but sexually violating someone fits the standard and common definition of rape. Donald Trump committed rape, and was convicted.

Donald Trump is a rapist.

Not true, entering this country through methods other than the legal lawful way makes them illegal immigrates. Not all are evil but many who are here raping and murdering are evil. IMO comparing removing Jews to removing illegals from this country shows a complete misunderstanding of what is actually happening in this country.

If the issue was dealing with people who commit evil acts, that'd be one thing. But that's not what this is about, this is about demonizing everyone who entered, or who has remained, outside of the ordinary legal avenues as evil and speaking of them all as committing heinous acts.

This is about dehumanizing people. Ordinary people, with jobs, with families, who contribute to their communities; and about punishing their children--including children born here who according to the Constitution are citizens of this nation.

What mass deportation will mean is rounding up, locking up, millions of people--including children. And we will see the forceful separation of children from their families. We will see children missing, lost in the system.

How many more tens of thousands of children getting lost into the system and who knows what happening to them will result from this? If it is executed.

Pretending to care about immigrant children while supporting the very people and things that will harm them is, in the very best case, hypocrisy. At the very worst, it is malevolence.

He wasn't found guilty of anything, it was a civil trial, he was found liable even though the supposed victim waited 30 years to make a complaint and couldn't remember any details, except the outfit she said she was wearing, that hadn't been designed yet

When was the last time they kept counting ballots after the election and a Republican won?
They always count ballots after Election Day. It's faster, now, because of computers, but they continue to count until they get the ballots counted, including this year when Trump won.

Look at the House races where the count extended out.
