The average person knows it is about Trump. Biden didn’t commit 34 felonies, Trump did. Trump supporters try to distract and deflect Trump’s criminal background by falsely blaming Biden for things he didn’t do. COVID started under Trump. Trump believed it was a Democrat hoax. Over 750,000 Americans died from COVID under Trump. Trump mismanaged the COVID pandemic from the start. COVID caused the prices of everything to up by causing the cost of goods and services to go up — not Biden. Trump encouraged his supporters to attack our nation’s capitol Jan. 6, not Biden. Sending aid to Ukraine and Israel does not increase inflation.
When people write an opinion letter about something they don’t know, they make things up and lie, without evidence. It is true ignorance. The average person knows and remembers it is about Trump. Please vote for Biden.
"When people write an opinion letter about something they don’t know, they make things up and lie, without evidence. It is true ignorance." Pot meet Kettle. You write a LTE almost daily with your own version of made up "facts". Yesterday it was lies about Florida election law. Today you made up your own Covid numbers. Not sure why DJ thinks you deserve a platform so frequently.
I just checked back on LTE's and I only found a few since the 1st of May actually written by Michael Oberg. When I checked some time back the DJ indicated that they usually accept two LTE's per month which looks like what has been submitted. Comments are another item all together. You may be seeing the name several times there and for the most part I think you can make as many as you like as long as they are not offensive and follow the guidelines.
Speaking of made up facts. Every week there are several comments by Terence Y and others like Not So Common that spew debunked info about their king of the grifters, orange idol, DJT in unlimited amounts. It makes for good comedy but wastes a lot of time.
You are probably correct as to the number of letters, but there was one published yesterday with a made up fantasy about Florida and Ron DeSantis, so Oberg was on my mind. Glad to know he is done for the month of June!
Comments are different than published letters though and I'm glad DJ allows them without policing as I can sift through truth and fiction on my own.
Taffy, you’re hilarious, you do homework to figure out the number of Oberg’s LTEs (and with your history of cherry-picked statistics, it’s highly likely it’s more than a “few”) yet you’re too lazy to figure out that your incessant belief in some twisted Republican to Democrat party switcheroo in the not so distant past has been debunked? And you’re too lazy to look at the links I provided a few years ago which show the prophylactic effectiveness of certain drugs for COVID?
Or… maybe you did do the homework but realized you’ve been on the wrong side of history all this time. Your misplaced pride is preventing you from acknowledging the truth and instead you choose to continue looking the fool because you’re afraid of losing face. Face it, Taffy (get it?) you’ve already lost face (a while ago, I might add). But many if not all of us will forgive you if you get on the right track and instead of being part of the problem, being a part of the solution.
Gosh, Terence. I see it as Tafhdyd giving us the good news that we will not have to suffer another Democratic Party progressive nationalist LTE until next month. That's a plus in my book.
Hi Ray, if only we had the audacity of hope that this would occur and we could eventually reach a promised land. I expect we’ll see many more Dem apologist LTE’s sprinkled with hysterical “orange man bad” screeching. Meanwhile, I note your invitation to meet another contributor for lunch was snootily declined. I’m surprised since they could’ve taken the opportunity to educate you on more definitions and introduce you to more “big words” although they’ll need to define what “big words” are. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. And IMO, a loss for them.
Mr. Oberg, I’d like to provide a perfect example of what you wrote, “When people write an opinion letter about something they don’t know, they make things up and lie, without evidence. It is true ignorance.” Remember the other day when you challenged the fact that Obama put kids in cages. I set you straight with a link from a Trump-hating news source, your beloved AP. So are you exhibiting ignorance because you didn’t check your facts or was it an outright lie because you already knew the truth? Regardless, vote for our great President Trump to Take America Back. BTW, to show it’s about Biden, do a quick search for “timeless quotes by Joe Biden” and watch the video.
Terrence, facts are mosquitos and speed bumps to democrats. Democrats like Michael, Jorg, Taffy, Rel etc. are not interested in the facts, they are ideologues and only see what they want to see. They are the ones who should have been labeled by Twitter, & FB as lying sheep. Somehow Trump has fought off their attacks and lies, Hillary's false Russian collusion story, ballot harvesting, Obama's illegal surveillance, election interference, and Biden's political attacks to rise above it all. The democrat sheep will never listen because they don't have the desire or ability to think. And when they are challenged they can never and will never provide a coherent argument, they are stuck in an infinite loop of ignorance and hate.
Well summarized, Not So Common, but we can strive to introduce facts to them and stimulate (or bring forth for some) their common sense to cure their willful ignorance. If they’re not amenable, we can then treat them as mosquitos and speed bumps by taking a minute or two to debunk their fake news and lies. Another astute contributor once commented to the effect that it always seems like Halloween because the folks you mention have a habit of ghosting us due to their inability to provide coherent arguments. Of course, these ghosts pop up again shortly like Whac-a-Moles with their same old, same old garbage. Willful ignorance is bliss for them.
You wrote, "Over 750,000 Americans died from COVID under Trump." I'm not sure how this number can be verified. Can you help everyone out? Reuters reported that COVID deaths in the US reached the 1 million mark two years ago... 399,000 during Trump's presidency and 601,000 during Biden's first 16 months in office. The total now stands at 1.2 million. With respect to your comments on inflation... when Trump turned over the presidency during the pandemic to Biden, the inflation rate was at 1.4 percent. During Biden's first 17 months in office, the inflation rate jumped to 9.1 percent. Recently, Biden claimed (twice) that he inherited the 9.1 percent inflation rate... that's not true. BTW... his uncle was not eaten by cannibals during WWII.
Yes, it was the insane government spending, not "Covid" that caused the inflation we are dealing with. And I blame both parties. One of my biggest issues with Trump was the Covid relief spending after turning the country over to Fauci. Hope he has at least learned from mistakes though unlike Biden and the Dems.
Michael - say what? "When people write an opinion letter about something they don’t know, they make things up and lie, without evidence. It is true ignorance." You just confirmed what you accuse others of.
You Dirk is becoming more and more laughable! Don't you understand anything anymore, not able even to absorb indisputable facts? Perhaps you should loosen up your MAGA-hat a bit? Too difficult, or has Trump told you not to do that, or he'll come after you with retribution in mind?
I too am shocked that Michael expressed his thoughts so disrespectfully. Contrast that with Steven Howard's, "In their recent letters, Mr. Olbert, Ms. Slocum Lara and Mr. Aadahl accurately describe the faults and failings of the former president. It would be hard to find a more loathsome individual. Ms. Slocum Lara concludes, “the choice is clear.""
Dirk, the definition of insanity is providing facts to the liberal eggheads and expecting them to listen, investigate, & seek the truth because they have no need for the truth. But do give Jorg, Mike, Rel, Fig etc.. credit for sticking together like the democrat party. The good news, the Biden Titanic ship of corruption is sinking and if anyone reaches out for a hand, do not offer one, it's fake, and they will simply pull you under to drown with them.
