@lololulu19 Thanks for the information. The torrents are definitely active. Users have begun leeching. But, they are not searchable and don't appear in My Torrents. I've uploaded hundreds of torrents over the years. I rarely have issues with DMA or duplicates. This issue is new. It began to occur in the last 3 or 4 days.

@blablarg18 How does Biden betray the constitution? When has he ever said that the constitution should be terminated?

@blablarg18 <sigh> You know what. It's fine. You guys believe what you will. I see you have no intention of providing me with anything helpful. I'll just go ahead and vote Dem. I'll be damned if I'll side with the group who only offers division and hatred as platforms for choosing the next president.

@blablarg18 Ah. So, you believe the lies then. Not only that, you think all people who aren't MAGA think the same way. Everything is black and white.

You should probably investigate that. How your world view is limited to simplistic explanations for complex concepts. It's why some people are so casual about grouping people into categories without recognizing that we are all individuals and differ from each other. It's much easier to assume anyone who looks or acts a certain way in a situation fits into a category than to take the time to get to know them. You're missing out. Not with me, obviously. We'll never be friends. But, there are doubtless a lot of people whom you have turned against you by categorizing them and mistreating them before you got to know them. It's not a path to success in life.

@lololulu19 You know, typing something in a forum doesn't make it fact.

Show me some proof.

@lololulu19 I'm going to reset the conversation on my side.

Hi, I'm rayban099. I'm a registered independent voter. I'm a 52, retired, African American gay male and a member of the site since 2014. I don't usually engage on forums because they don't always promote mental health. I got curious about this forum because there are topics which discuss rare and unusual videos that I may be interested in checking out. But, the post about Trump selling Bibles piqued my interest.

I grew up in the South. I've been called the N-word by more Southern, Christian, Republicans than I can shake a stick at. The rhetoric of the Southern Republicans is often repeated by MAGA Republicans. In particular, that blacks are lazy, stupid and criminal. That blacks make poor choices resulting in broken and fatherless homes that forces their children to be thugs or hookers which contribute nothing of value to society. Oh, and also, that I'm one of the good ones because I'm not like that. I've lived in Kentucky, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Colorado and Australia. Colorado was my favorite place to live because of all of the sunlight and genuinely happy people. When I moved to Australia, I was actually shocked by the fact that on the nightly news, where the lead stories were about the most outrageous crimes committed locally the criminals where always white. Growing up in the South, those same news segments always featured blacks. It totally reset my way of seeing the world. The things that I was told growing up about my race weren't actually true.

This is why I'm not going to go with the flow. I believe in what can be proven. Not rumors, not conjecture. Facts. I've read the court reporting related to fraud in the elections. You have misquoted every expert who has made public statements regarding those hearings. It is acknowledged that fraud occurred during the 2020 election. But, the fraud wasn't determinative. Meaning that people cheated, but there weren't enough cheats to change the results. Also, that the cheaters were caught and their impacts to the outcome were rectified. If you're interested, I can share that reporting.

@raphjd You are absolutely right. Democrats are responsible for some homophobic legislation. So are Republicans. The difference is, Democrats aren't CURRENTLY promoting homophobic, autocratic legislation. But, Republicans are. I'm making any decisions on how to vote based on the current platforms of the two parties and what works best for me. Right now, Republicans are supporting a man who has been adjudicated as a rapist (sexual assaulter), and a fraud. He has also called for the termination of the constitution because he thinks he lost the election unfairly. I'm still waiting for him to provide proof that the election was stolen. He's cancelled at least two press conferences where he promised to deliver the proof. The investigation of the events leading to and including Jan 6 indicate that he wanted there to be disputes regarding the Electoral certification. That's not counting any allegations that he instigated the insurrection.

You've done an excellent job of rehashing old news of how Democrats screwed up in the past. Please take some time to help me understand what Republicans are doing currently to make things better. How are they promoting a cohesive, united society where everyone is treated fairly and no-one is demonized or viewed as second class citizens.
