    But like his keen attention to the non-vaccinating border crisis, it shows how "sharp" he is to pay attention to this vitally important matter.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

And, if we build off that premise, we'd expect other weird anomalies to have occurred during the election, and that's exactly what we have.
      In 2016, Trump was largely an unknown. Conservatives weren't that sure about him, given that he had previously been registered as a Democrat and as an independent, and he had no track record. A lot of Democrats who were lukewarm about Hillary thought, "how bad could he be?", and didn't bother to vote.

      By 2020, most conservatives decided that they really wanted him to remain president, and most liberals realized that there was really nothing worse than him remaining president. Hence, record turnout both for and against him. So it's no mystery that he got more votes than before, and still lost.

      Most of the "weird anomalies" were a result of a lot of liberals taking the pandemic seriously and voting by mail, along with the fact that mailed ballots were typically counted later.

        I said anomalieZZZ, as in plural, and the late swing to Biden wasn't what I was talking about. And there was a Republican base that never wanted him president, and even less so in his second run.

          I'm sure that if you care to mention any other types of anomalies, it will turn out that they have either already been explained, or involve not nearly enough votes to make a difference.

          Trump's popularity in the Republican party was higher during his second run than during the first.

            VIPs including Jeff Bezos flew to a climate conference on 400 private jets, sparking fury over the carbon emissions caused


            As hundreds of private jets ferry world leaders and top business executives to the UN's COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, environmentalists are up in arms over the environmental damage caused by the travel.

            Scotland's Sunday Mail, citing aviation sources, reported that more than 400 private jets were expected. They are said to be shuttling more than 1,000 VIPs and their staff to the talks - which, according to the conference website, seek to "bring together world leaders to commit to urgent global climate action."

            US President Joe Biden traveled to the climate-crisis symposium on Air Force One, and the Sunday Mail said the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, India, Israel, and Japan all used their own aircraft as well. Amazon's Jeff Bezos also flew in on his $65 million Gulfstream jet, British media reported.


            UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is planning on returning to London from Scotland on a private jet - running on sustainable fuel, The Guardian reported. His official spokesperson told the British news outlet, "It is important that the prime minister is able to move round the country, and obviously we face significant time constraints."

            The International Council on Clean Transportation says commercial aviation accounts for about 2% of global carbon emissions, a number expected to triple by 2050.

            The European advocacy group Transport and Environment said in a May report that private planes were five to 14 times as polluting as commercial planes on a per passenger basis and 50 times as polluting as trains.

            "It can't be stressed enough how bad private jets are for the environment - it is the worst way to travel by miles," the group's UK policy manager told the Sunday Mail. "Private jets are very prestigious, but it is difficult to avoid the hypocrisy of using one while claiming to be fighting climate change."

              You'd think an agenda that's clearly being pushed and endorsed by wealthy elites of the world, the group that leftists hates the most, would be an eyeopener to leftists.

                I wonder. Many of these Leftists are mostly hostile to the middle class. That being the case, they support a two-class system of rulers and peasants. They probably believe they will be rulers eventually, but they're too stupid to realize they won't be.

                So, the elitists win. They control big business and the governments of the world, so they jet around telling the peasants to stop polluting.

                          Except this cute little black lady is constantly flipping through her notebook trying to figure out what to read while reporters are asking questions, then pretending she didn't hear the question so they have to repeat it.

                          And she's doing her best NOT to call on Peter Doocey.

                                We lost audio. Seriously. (I think Psaki may have turned her mic off)
