Posts: 1119More Americans Suffering from the Cruelty of RethugliKKKants
Legendary comedian, Jon Stewart, blasts the GOP/QOP Senate members w/r to a bill they blocked and stalled, that provides healthcare to veterans who've suffered long-term illness from the burn pits from their service. Not long after, Mr. Stewart's drubbing, GOP/QOP Senate members do an about-face, with their tails tucked between their legs.
... In the days since the GOP stalled the bill, Stewart was unflinching. He went in front of cameras on Thursday to express what many Americans were feeling. Regarding Republicans about-face on the bill, Stewart said he was used to the ‘hypocrisy,’ ‘lies’ and ‘cowardice’ of politicians, but I am not used to the cruelty.
On the flip-side, it was said, the Dems could stand to take notes, from Jon Stewart, when it came to Republican cruelty. Couldn't agree more...kkkk!

He'll keep coming back with new absurdities, new deflections, more circular logic and even bigger words to try and align facts with his twisted political beliefs. But at least, he seems to quit that "hearsay" bullshit.

Posts: 5454I don't recall Biden saying that
Nor have I seen a clip of Biden saying it sourced from FUX News and the like.
Where do you imagine you saw and heard it?

Also you are correct about the different context, aims, and rules in Congressional hearings. Trumpists were invited but chose rather to whine and throw rocks from the sidelines with fallacious arguments / play the victim. It's true that Jim Jordan wasn't invited but he's grossly dishonest plus extremely rude and disruptive. The hearings would have seen many delays with him in the room constantly filibustering, interrupting, and trying to shout people down. The Trumpists could have chosen other, more cultured adherents to send to the Committee but did as six year olds do, took their toys and went home.
P.S. At the end of the day Jordan is a wuss like all bullies. It's hilarious when Maxine Waters tells him to shut his mouth and he complies like a good little boy. LOL.

Posts: 657Biden Drone Strike Accidentally Kills Terrorist Leader Instead Of Car Full OfChildren
KABUL — Biden is demanding answers after a precision drone strike in Afghanistan actually killed a real terrorist leader named Ayman al-Zawahiri instead of a car full of innocent children, as is tradition.
"Come on, folks, we all know what drone strikes are for," said the angry President to an LOL Surprise Doll he mistook for a member of the press. "We conduct drone strikes to kill civilians in the Middle East in hopes of stirring up multigenerational hatred for the USA Which will lead to endless war and help feed the military-industrial complex! How on earth did this actual terrorist get caught up in the mix?
Sources in the CIA revealed they briefly deviated from the standard procedure of killing innocents with Hellfire missiles to kill a terrorist, as Biden's poll numbers are down and people like it when presidents kill terrorists.
"The death of this austere religious scholar, while tragic, could produce a 3 to 4 point bump in Biden's approval ratings in time for the midterms," said Fitch Biggenslimes, a columnist for the Washington Post. "That's what really matters here. ".
Government officials assured the president they will return to their normal business of blowing up chai tea cafes and busses full of aid workers this week.
UPDATE: New reports confirm Ayman al-Zawahiri is still alive and the precision strike actually killed a busload of orphans.

Let's test your theory if words matter.
You are not going to get Covid if you get these vaccinations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wST_Oo1osdA.
I have another one, "Putin cannot stay in power. " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agEaCr6InEM.
"The American people think there is inflation because the government is spending more money, simply not true. " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTPX1ejoYdg.
As for American troops in Ukraine, Biden said "You are going to see when you go there (to Ukraine)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RER3Q8JAFbE.
Nah, your theory does not hold up about words meaning things. What you mean to say is when Republicans say something, words matter. That does not apply to Democrats. Democrats can be inaccurate and lie all they want.
That depends on what your definition of is is should be the motto of the Democratic Party.

Posts: 716Soviet Style Politics
So now that it can no longer be hidden or denied that there were eyewitnesses willing to come forth and testify under oath as to what actually took place in the famous or rather infamous limo ride, Woke Marxist propaganda agents must set to work trashing the two secret service agent's character and credibility so that their sworn testimony can be called into question on Marxist media outlets. The 2 agents have not even testified yet, but the Marxists are already attacking them. It seems very Soviet Union to me. The two secret service agents are lucky they have not been shipped off to the Aleutian Islands.
Of course, we must believe the Party's witness and her 2nd or 3rd hand, hearsay, testimony because woman never lie for political gain or personal reasons except when they accuse Woke politicians of misconduct. But for those of us who have not yet been forced to become card carrying members of the Woke Marxist New Democrat Party, an interesting question remains: who told her about what happened on the Limo ride? Another third person who saw nothing or someone actually in the Limo? But I guess this is just a trivial, unimportant question for party loyalists like yourself since we common folk are expected to shut up, fall in line, and follow the party's directive Soviet Style.
You are back on my ignore list, poncho.

But sure, deflect and say that there were only dozens of calls when the facts say otherwise. https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertg...h=47476a4a1157.

"Two former Trump White House aides took to Twitter Wednesday to say Ornato has a pattern of denying conversations that they know took place.
"Tony Ornato lied about me too," tweeted Alyssa Farah, former White House communications director. She said that she spoke with Ornato and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows before the forcible clearing of Lafayette Square in June 2020, in which they refused to warn reporters who were staged at the park that they needed to move.
"Tony later lied & said the exchange never happened," Farah wrote.
Olivia Troye, a former senior national security aide to Pence, took to Twitter as well to express her views of Ornato.
"Those of us who worked w / Tony know where his loyalties lie," she wrote. "he should testify under oath."
There's more. "Lawmakers on the committee said Ornato had said in his initial testimony that he was unable to recall other actions and statements by Trump on Jan. 6 that other witnesses had described in great detail."
So, Ornato and Engel will testify under oath. Or at least they'll be asked to testify. Whether or not they actually testify is another matter entirely.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...ecret-service/
But here's the thing. Let's say that you and I are having a meeting and a third person shows up. I say to that person, "Hey, ole' Axe told me {insert story here} and he was there in person. " What do you do if I told a falsehood about the story? Do you stay silent? Do you speak up and correct me? I guaran-damn-tee that you'd speak up. And so would Engel if the story about what happened in the SUV was false. But he didn't say a word. Did he?

Thing is now we have another pro war idiot who is just as dense as Bush on the economy as president now. People I trust like Matt Taibbi have pointed out that the pro-war, neocon morons who wanted us to go to war in Iraq are now being sought out by Biden for advice. I think some if those fools may even switch parties. You can have them.
You think there is this huge gulf between Republicans and Democrats. Outside of his bone headed energy policy (and Bush's was boneheaded as well but in a different way), I see little difference between Biden and GW Bush. They both love war.
The best presidents in my life time (Reagan, Clinton, Obama, and Trump) all kept the peace.

So we see a movie like 2000 mules and a woman who lives in another state put ballots into a ballot box wearing gloves, threw them out, and the pathetic excuse given, "it was during a pandemic don't you know", we just sit in shock. No one knows why she was wearing gloves, so why do you fools give out such an explanation?
Thing is PVM, we do not know what the fuck she was doing. She could have been stuffing the ballot box for Trump right? But you dumb Dems do not care if there was an election fraud. All you care about is the result, and if that woman is deposed, there is a chance the result you desire comes into question.
So when it came to Russiagate, Kavanaugh, Rittenhouse, Hunter Biden's laptop, and now election fraud, your goal was not truth but power, so we who vote Republican have totally tuned you out. And now you are blathering on about the significance of some second hand heresay. You have lost us again. You have shown that you have no respect for the rules of an election and want to cheat and get some group of people to disqualify Trump versus beating him in an election.
So let me repeat this fact. Russiagate was a fraud devised by Democrats and carried out by the FBI to illegally oust a duly elected president. Do you deny that PVM?
So you dumb Dems already committed fraud and tried to rig one election. That is a fact and amazingly when it came to 1-6, you dumb Dems think that had nothing to do with anything.
You are so dense it is inconceivable that people would riot and March because you were trying to commit election fraud not once but a second time. No, it had to be Trump.
If you do not care about the fraud that was Russiagate, why the hell should we care about 1-6?

I am not even going to mention her name anymore. Note: some posters on this thread may not know what exculpatory means. Ha ha.
In any case PV and I agree on something. Unbelievable, but apparently true. These are his words not mine. "If somebody flat out lies in your presence about something you said, you call bullshit immediately. " Absolutely right, and that is just what the two secret service agents riding in the car with Trump on Jan 6 did. They went public with it within hours of the woman's testimony and stated categorically that what the woman told the committee never happened. They also volunteered to testify under oath in front of the committee to what they witnessed firsthand that day in the limo. But the committee did not call them. Game set match. The committee hearings are nothing more than choreographed soviet style show trial. A propaganda ballet.
Note to our literary challenged radical bm's: my reference to a "soviet style show trial" is an analogy.
So, PV may not have been aware that the 2 secret service agents came forward right after the woman testified and denied her version of what took place. The corporate news media tends not to report political news that does not support the leftwing narrative. The woman 's shocking testimony was allowed to dominate at least one news cycle before the whole truth came out. The committee knew this would happen and played the corporate news media like a violin. This is a problem worthy of further discussion, the political corruption of the 5th Estate, but not now. It is like pulling teeth on this web site to prove the committee is not concerned with finding out what really happened on Jan 6 and even now with undeniable proof presented as to their bias, I know that most if not all of the ISG radicals will refuse to concede the point. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
