Below I have posted the Bill of Rights, and subsequent amendments.

The question is "Of these amendments posted below, how many amendments, and which of Biden's constitutional amendments were violated? What rights guaranteed by the constitution were violated by the government, federal, state or local against Joe Biden?"

The focus of this exercise is directed solely at the treatment of Joe Biden. No comparisons with his enemies could be reasonably used in your point.

Since this is a critical thinking exercise, proof will be required to make a valid point. This proof that is requested to back up your point can be found anywhere on line.

If necessary, state the link that backs up your point.

Yeah, unlike hearing it from the donkey's ass, although the donkey is too old to do anything unless he's on cocaine or crack or meth.

My question still remains, after 9 years, "Why do they hate him so much?"

No formative answer has been given. No answer will, it appears.

To hate someone that much, they have to love him.

The media reacted to the word, "bloodbath" ignoring the context. So would it have been better if he said, "hostile take over by the Chinese in American auto industry"? Bloodbath is simpler and gets to the point.

The military has no need for unions due to the structure of the military. And the military has two major groups that fight for the service member, that is the VFW and American Legion.

However there is a need for unions in the civilian world. Unions are best at protecting the workers job and safety concerns. I say this as a union steward.

How ever the good part of a union: you can keep your job. The bad part of a union: you can keep your job.

Unions are necessary to keep the company honest. However what keeps the unions honest? The company is supposed to do that...that's what collective bargaining is all about.

Now, when a company and a union, join forces, anything can be accomplished, the problem lies in how far they go....humanity or mankind pushes the limits of everything and both the company and unions can go too far. Enter the government.

In a properly run company, with a properly run union, with a properly run government, the salary and hourly workers thrive. But if one element is off, then all fail. The necessity of fairness is the key. The elimination of greed is also a necessity of fairness.

This transcends all aspects of life, to include safety. Osha would not exist had it not been for unions, and unions would not exist had it not been for companies, and none of the dynamic would exist without a governing entity to ensure fairness.

Companies are only as good as thier people, and unions are only as good as thier membership, and government is only as good as those they govern.

And to know MAGA is to understand this dynamic.

I often wonder if Ameicans as a whole can communicate? What is the agreed form of communication?

Then after communication, what follows is what weight do you put on what word?

The reason why I ask this question is simply because if three or more intelligent people talk about what the meaning of the comments of any person, this case Trump, what weight do you put on what word?

Miscommunication is the cause of many a person's demise.

1st off Trump is a business man turned politician. He uses words to get publicity. Any publicity is good publicity cause the average person would talk about him. Now that seems selfish, but is it really? I'll get back to that.

2nd as I previously stated Trump was a business man for a majority of his life, since that is true he will talk like a business man, therefore the term, "Bloodbath" simply means the negative effects that plague a business. Now if Donald was a soldier, or in law enforcement, "Bloodbath" would have an entirely different meaning, like Game of Thrones, "Red Wedding" or "Winters coming"

3rd after being the most misquoted man in American politics of all time, Donald Trump has found ways to get under the skin of his media enemies. He exposes thier dishonesty. So that therefore, could be selfish, but then again, he is right, in the context of how he speaks. Take his words out of context, and there is a completely different meaning that too is selfish and dishonest.

How can the pot call the kettle back, when the pot and kettle are made of Iron?

So here is the genius of Trump, since the media is going to be dishonest in reporting the news, why can't Trump, be dishonest with the media?

The civil war began not due to the actions of Lincoln before he was elected, but because the irresponsibility of Buchanan. Because Lincoln was elected, the tensions between the north and the south, textiles and farmers, plantation owners and slaves, quakers movement against slavery all contintrubuted to South Carolina from leaving the union.

South Carolina declared the reasons of the separation, claiming a two tiered justice system. If a person was a slave and escaped to the north, the north would violate the constitution by not returning the fugitive. This obviously is morally wrong, however, it is a violation of the constitution not to return the fugitive.

So the civil war, began when South Carolina charged the union with that grievance, and since the union of states refused to hear the grievance, they declared separation from the union.

Later Lincoln would tell congress, "We go to war to preserve the union" thus it was not a civil war but a war amongst the states.

Today we are in the same situation, the terms have changed, the names and places changed, but the idea remains the same.

Slavery was replaced with class warfare. The two tier justice system, was replaced from slavery, to the two major political parties, and chaos now surrounds us, just as it did for our ancestors.

Now, the principle against hypocracy remains the same. And it is that hypocracy that needs to change.

Each and every member of Maga movement is equal to one another, yet with in the function of thier status. But on the Democrat side, they are equal in name only.

Now in the 1800s leading up.to.the civil war, was a Supreme Court case, known as Dred Scot.

The court claimed that Scott was a slave and not a citizen therefore could not bring his case to court.

This decision would plague, the nation after the war.

Now 120 years later, we are arguing in.principle the same fight. It is a fact that Republicans since Lincoln, always practiced equality. But the democrats always divided the people.

Maga calls America the great melting pot.
Democrats call America where the person originated from African America, Asian American, Hispanic american......etc.

But the lefties would pervert that message, and they do it all the time.

But if you would stop all the lefty prejudice, and just look at who Maga really is, Maga is well meaning Americans, who want to be left alone. These are people, that try to live, life. And try not to be center stage. People who want to hold on to the good ol days. Maga is not the inssurectionists the left makes them out to be. Most Maga people, just want to live and let live.

But because the leftists destroy everything in thier path, and try to make everyone think that is what they should do, these people don't buy the pitch. But the leftists get insulted by that. Maga thinks simple, not complex.

The complex thinker always gets in trouble. Simple people rarely get into trouble. But when the lefties try to take away, what the simple enjoy, or even the profit they make, they will rise up and stop them. That's human nature.

If I trespass in your house, and take your gold or anything that belongs to you, you too will revolt against them.

Due to this reason, if a war does erupt as Donald warns, then history will repeat its self. And I'm against war, after serving in two, however, if the two sides can't come to a compromise, if they can't set aside thier grievances, as men, then the last result is force.

So put away the double standard and hypocracy, then war shall not come.

This is a true fact

Dude, awesome post! I like it. Needs to be put on a billboard or something, that was good on so many levels!
