Hey, Mr. Joinder. How come you would never post the actions and occurrences in the DNC suit in New York and the D.C. lawsuit so we could do a joinder analysis.

Because you were wr--wr--wrong.

because they are both alleging collusion with the Russians...moron. I thought that went without saying. Of course, I forgot who I was talking to.

D.C. Case:
quote:

which alleged that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia and WikiLeaks to publish hacked emails from DNC servers


NY case:
quote:

Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and help Trump by hacking the computer networks of the Democratic Party


Same alleged actions and occurrences. You are so stupid. Why do you still try to talk about things you are clearly ignorant about? You even brought it up days later What a dolt.

Better yet, having spent 3.5% for nearly 70yrs. Shouldn't we be entitled to ~40% of our total investment back +interest????

Move our facilities from Merkal land to Poland.




This is actually being discussed.

As I posted in another thread, keep in mind we pay Germany to station our troops there to defend them. Every single facility in Germany is rented/leased. And not at "bargain" prices.

Poland is willing to have us in permanent bases...without the rent/lease.

You truly are ignorant.

You think that is sufficient information to evaluate whether joinder would be applicable?

Your typical superficial generalization. Useless.

Guess you missed the part where both cases are specifically based upon the hacked emails? I mean....you can't be this slow. It's just impossible.

You realize that 3.5% is NOT going to just NATO? That 3.5% is for our military interests across the entire globe.

Actually you probably don't because even Trump doesn't realize this.

All the more reason these freeloading countries should be living up to their 2 percent. There is no excuse Toddy. The left cannot agree with trump on anything. It's hilarious. You wonder why your party is imploding?

Everyone realizes this. It's a lazy and disingenuous argument that can easily be squashed, as has already happened numerous times today on this board. I realize this is the talking point that has been put out but it literally means nothing and anyone with about a third of a brain can destroy it in minutes.

So I said they would just refile the dismissed lawsuit in New York, and you said they couldn't file the suit in N.Y.

So explain to me how joinder would keep them from filing the same basic lawsuit in N.Y. and seek the same redress in the NY-filed lawsuit?

Yikes. Do you really no know? Toddy...talk about shouting out that you are ignorant. You should have kept that to yourself.

I'm taking this as slow as I can, but we are going in circles. You can't seem to grasp it. Let's stay with this...now that you realize both suits are based upon the hacking of the DNC emails, can we agree they stem from the same transactions and occurrences?

Let's get this part down, then I will try to walk you down the rest of the joinder path in as simple a manner as I can. You agreeing to the first part is step one. I know it is scary. But go ahead and take that step.

Now this is a three-step process, so I'm going to need you to pay attention and try to respond quickly. I don't have all night to hold your hand through this.

Even if we just spent 2% it would still be more money than all NATO countries combined.

US GDP is over 18.5 Triilion

Europes GDP is 17.2 Trillion

Out of the 29 NATO countries the US has the 8th largest military....


...in Europe.

The BILLIONS we spend to keep troops and equipment in Europe because they can’t defend themselves could be better spent.

Remember just last month a story came out and said Germany only had 8 fighter jets that were ready for action. fricking 8.

No, we don't. We don't "give" NATO 3.5%.

The number represents how much of GDP spends on total defense spending, not commitment to NATO, and certainly no cash contribution.

This is incorrect. The US contributes about 23% of NATOs budget.

No, I don't want you to dance me around. Let's try this again.

So just explain to me what keeps the D.C. plaintiffs from filing he same basic lawsuit in N.Y. and seeking the same redress in the NY-filed lawsuit?
