No one in human history has had their EXACT speech patterns transcribed word for word as much as Trump. The media is disgusting and they do it intentionally. You could make a lot of people seem weird as frick if you put their exact words into writing every time they said something

---

This is false. The transcriptions and quotes clean up “uhs” and “ums” all the time, just like most public figures. And many write-ups of his speeches edit for clarity of thought, usually omitting weird pauses and repetitions. Reporters from other countries have commented how, after only seeing written accounts of his speeches, they were shocked to hear how disjointed and incoherent his speech actually is.

Maybe a dumb question, but couldnt they just re-register in a different state?

---

Not a dumb question, as they probably will do just that if it goes too far down discovery that they don’t want to get into. Probably won’t affect operations that much.

That said, it’s kind of like settling a lawsuit, in that some people will see it as the pragmatic approach to keep from racking up litigation costs and others will see it as a tacit admission of guilt

The AG is using self-dealing as the basis. It will take years finish the suit. The entity can re-situs.

Absolutely, they'll just re-incorporate in all likelihood. They will have to stop touting their 140+ year history, but no major change to operations.

What you are posting isn’t all that relevant.

Someone asked the question of whether this was legally possible, and I was just answering the question. I didn't raise this point.

They obviously have more than one entity. Because they certainly have one in VA. LINK to VA's SCC

You don't know how to read these reports. Regardless of where you're incorporated, you have to file with the Secretary of State in every state where you transact business. Notice on the page that you linked to where it says "Jurisdiction: NY" This means it's a NY corporation that has registered to do business in VA.

You can play this game with probably any state in America. Here's the listing from Kansas ( LINK), but notice how, just like VA, it states it's a NY corporation:

The NRA appears to be is incorporated in VA.

I'm not sure if you're just making stuff up, or you're repeating things you've heard without confirming them, but you're just objectively wrong on facts.

NRA says on its website: "After being granted a charter by the state of New York on November 17, 1871, the NRA was founded."

Which matches up with the NY Secretary of State's website LINK:

Please explain? States are controlled by Governors, Mayors, County judges.

Trump repeatedly asserted in April that he had the requisite authority to override any shutdown order. So, by his account, he has tacitly approved every shutdown or phased shutdown that has been issued.

"For the purpose of creating conflict and confusion, some in the Fake News Media are saying that it is the Governors decision to open up the states, not that of the President of the United States & the Federal Government. Let it be fully understood that this is incorrect....It is the decision of the President, and for many good reasons. With that being said, the Administration and I are working closely with the Governors, and this will continue. A decision by me, in conjunction with the Governors and input from others, will be made shortly!" Trump twitter, April 2020

You think people are voting for Trump contingent on investigations of a lawyer you'd never even heard of until last year? Tax policy, economic growth, trade policy, foreign military disentanglement, merit-based immigration, property rights, elimination of defacto surcharges for medicines and medical devices assessed to US consumers, etc. are not motivation to re-elect?

---

There are/were many GOP folks who promise to do all of the above things. Trump isn't coming up with most of the ideas or the details for the things you mentioned above. Paul Ryan would have given you the tax plan, and Rand Paul would get you out of foreign entanglements. One of the things that made Trump such a contrast to the entrenched GOP was his willingness and promises to drain the swamp. If he's not draining the swamp or locking up the people he promised to, he's a lot less different from the regular GOP than you'd like to admit.

He's not saying he thinks it WAS.

This is just plain WRONG

There was a follow up question.

REPORTER: You called the Beirut explosion an "attack." Are you confident it wasn't an accident?

TRUMP: "Well, it would seem like it.....It was a bomb of some kind, yes.”

Didn’t say it looked like a bomb or seemed like a bomb. Said it WAS a bomb

quote:

---

By Any Means Necessary A lot of them do see it, but they don't care. They believe the ends justify the means.

---

Obviously a lot of folks on each side believe that the ends justify the means. As BigScrubTX pointed out, you have droves of evangelicals voting for the guy who cheated on the mother of his infant son with a sex worker and categorically denies ever asking God for forgiveness, simply because that guy is going to put pro-life folks on the Supreme Court.

You can certainly believe one side has more hypocrisy or lies than the other, but don't be so naïve as to believe your party is incapable of those kinds of things.

The why is the postal union allowed to officially endorse a candidate?

---

Because the union is a separate legal entity that is not employed by the federal government.

Same with the Border Patrol Union endorsing Trump. Not a violation.
