[QUOTE=EihTooms;2718993]Don't get too excited, kiddies. I remember when Teflon Ronnie's poll rating hit 35% during his first term and there was serious talk of replacing him as the Repub candidate for 1984.
Biden could be 100 years old in 2024 with 99% of Dem voters preferring someone younger with more energy to shout and scowl about problems Repubs created and no POTUS can solve with a magic wand (outlawing Sex-For-Pleasure, Machine Gun Love, High Gas Prices / Inflation Due To Trump's Pandemic Decisions Destroying Global Supply-Chains, etc) and they still would not be dumb enough to vote for numskulls like Trump, DeSantis or any other Repub in meaningful numbers.
Again, not that it will matter who or what the vast majority of the American electorate votes for once the anti American Democracy Repubs install their election-denying QAnon loons in state and local positions to throw out any ballots and not count votes they don't like.
But that is what Repub and Bothsider voters wished for and got when they saddled the country with 50 Repubs and two DINOs in the Senate.[/QUOTE]First, thank you for finally acknowledging that Biden is a disaster junk POTUS. Better late than never, like rest of the Democrats. This is good progress.
Now, also thank you for acknowledging that there are dumb Democrats like you, who would still vote for this or another junk disaster Democrat candidate than voting for a better (may not be the best, but better) Republican candidate for the next POTUS. These are who I call "stupid voters" who are so delusional with their party affiliation that they forget to support candidates who are better for their own good. They would rather pay double for everything with inflation, have a terrible economy, have wars all over the world but still not support a better candidate just because that candidate is Republican. These stupid voters now acknowledged that country is in the wrong path, but still won't change their voting pattern. This is actually very sad that these people never learn, bringing down the country and world with their stupidity.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2718444]
With regards to immigration, I wholeheartedly want as many legal immigrants as possible. When it comes to economic strength of a nation's economy, it is beneficial to admit people age 18 to 65 as they are a net benefit to a society versus a cost.
Do we want people who are going to reject our culture and create conflict or assimilate within to it?
[/QUOTE]I understand what most people's first thought are "are they going to assimilate, are they going to contribiute? But for me, that is not the point at all. It is simply a question of human rights. BUt let's set that aside.
Can I ask, what part of US culture do you want immigrants to respect and partake in? What great aspects of culture does the USA exhibit? I see a very conservative society, very racist, highly religious, exceptionalist, self-centered, ignorant, propagandised, dangerous gun / murder-infested society, now stripping away its own people's basic rights (whilst ignoring the rights of people from other countries), not caring about welfare and health of its own people, not providing basic needs. It's an incredibly corrupt country. Is this what you want immigrants to assimilate to?
I hear USAns complain that only "lowlife' try to immigrate. Well, for me, that's hardly surprising. I don't know anyone that wants to go live in the USA. I know plenty that want to move to Europe, Asia, South America, even Aus / Canada / NZ. And plenty of USAns that can't wait to leave. But no intelligent person would want to move to the USA. Why should they? Only a few Hollywood stars and media starlets. The only people that want to enter the USA and the desperate eople that the USA has destroyed the lives of in their own countries.
Would love to hear what you have to say.

I "acknowledged" exactly none of those things you lied about.

Biden beat Trump.
Oh, and Harris beat DeSantis. LOL.
Each of those outcomes have turned up in a few polls lately. Also with Biden beating DeSantis.
So, as much as the polls show Americans disapproving of Biden for not solving every horrific problem produced by Trump and his Repubs yet, it is also still quite common for them to "acknowledge" that they disapprove of the Repub leaders and standard bearers even more.

It's an incredibly corrupt country. Is this what you want immigrants to assimilate to?[/QUOTE]You have been watching the news too much. LOL. At its best the USA is a meritocracy, and you are judged based on performance not the color of your skin, religious views ETC. My father was Russian but emigrated to Iran at an early age. He saw the Russians (very poor and crude), the British (uptight snobs), and Americans (friendly and laid back) while helping the allies in WW2. The one act that made my father want to come to the USA was some lower ranked officer put his feet up on his commander's desk. What that shows you is that even with the military and their supposed chain of command, Americans think of themselves as equals. That is based on our forefathers view that when a state enters the Union, it does not come in as inferior but an equal. Time and again, you see the brilliance of our forefathers. Thing is they tried so many forms of government and saw which ones worked and which ones did not.
The USA is really a melting pot. My high school, and this was back in the 1980's, was a pressure cooker. The expectations were huge, and you hung with your friends to help you. In my circle of friends was a Korean, a black, several Jewish guys, one Arab, one guy from Iran, and several other white guys. We helped each other out, and when one of us succeeded, we felt like we succeeded. We would laugh about our differences and give each us other shit about it. The Jewish guys would ask me if I was going to take them hostage and I told them to have fun going to Hebrew school learning to hang people on crosses. You can do that when you feel like you are equals.
Later on, the Korean told me that there was some racism that he had to deal with when he was younger. The black guy later told me he was giving being shit by the black community for hanging around mostly white people and talking white. Romance wise, he had to deal with white women who often wanted him as a novelty rather than a person. But the idea that white people had no issues was bullshit. The white Jewish guys had stress put on them from their parents and community that was unreal. In my case, my father filled that role. I had a hard time putting my finger on what I went through until I saw Hasan Minaj's hilarious comedy special, Homecoming King. He talked about his father and conditional love. The other insight was the Greek father from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. That man too was so my dad. Whenever I dated someone my father did not like, he would act hurt and once even said, "Why are you going out with this woman? What did I do to you?" he had this incredible ability to let women know he did not like them without saying a word. At the time, I just thought that was normal behavior from a parent. Point is we all had our demons.
When you work in the USA, you have clients of all races and nationalities so if you are a racist you are not going to do well. But you are not going to do well if you only live in your own corner of the world. At work, there were two guys from Pakistan. One helped everyone he could, smiled all the time, had a joke at the ready for any occasion. He was beloved and advanced up the ladder. If he opened his own business, I am sure he would be flooded with customers. Nobody cared he was from Pakistan or a Muslim.
The other guy was religious, shy, and married. He would only hang out with his wife and did not speak much. In the end, he was an okay guy but it took years for people to be comfortable with him, and his aloofness caused anxiety. There was a feeling that a few people expressed that this guy might come in pissed off one day with a bomb strapped to his back and blow up everyone at work. Is that racist? Sure, but no one thought that about the other guy.
Thing is when you put the people into a high performance climate you see who sinks and swims, and I saw people come in from all over the world. In general, American men and yes mostly white ones were the best performers but there were stars from India, Pakistan, England, and Germany. I actually preferred foreign women to American ones. Many American women were amazing but most of the attractive ones would worm their way out of work. It was rare though for anyone coming to the USA who wanted to leave though.
If you live in a good neighborhood in the USA, there is not much crime. The planes run on time. The roads are good. With Amazon, almost any product in the world can literally be at your door step in 2 days. Point is the standard of living is through the roof. An Argentine told me the hardest thing Americans had to get used to when moving to Argentina was when the plumber said he would be there next week, it could be next month. In the USA, in general, if someone says they will be at your house on Tuesday, they will be there on Tuesday.
My dad bought some land way back when. A home was on the land and he was going to bull doze it. A church asked my father not to destroy the home. The church was sponsoring immigrants from Vietnam during and after the war and wanted to put them up in that home. I cannot tell you how many families I saw use that home as a place to settle before moving out and making it on their own. Today that relatively small city has a very active and prosperous Vietnamese community, and the church has done well too. My father thought he had a duty to help immigrants because so many people had helped him. And just like my father helped the Vietnamese immigrants, I am sure those immigrants are helping new ones. That is the American way, a way that is not talked about enough.
With racism, my black friend name got pretty much the same grades and test scores as I did. Can you imagine his reaction when he was told the tests were racist? He knew the people saying that did not do the work like he did.
I remember one Asian not liking a black kid at camp when I was 13. The black kid told the Asian that he was racist. The Asian guy lectured the black kid that he had to deal with racist shit too, and you see this stuff all the time. I finally stepped in and said, "Look, I think the problem is more you than your race so stop it."
I often saw racism used like this, as an excuse. There is no question that my black and Asian friends had to deal with racist issues I did not have to but they did not let them get in their way of succeeding. I never saw race slow down a determined person in the USA. Never.

Would love to hear what you have to say.[/QUOTE]Every mass immigration to the USA has resulted in enclaves of like ethnic groups in large cities. In every large city there was a "little Italy" or a "Chinatown" or a "Koreatown", etc. That's where folks of similar heritage could live and speak a familiar language while trying to "make it" in an unfamiliar country. But many of their offspring, especially the ones born in the USA, fully assimilated. They spoke English as a first language although their parents might still speak in their native tongue at home.
While you paint a picture of the USA, I think your picture is a bit skewed. But there are definitely two Americas.
One is as you describe: "a very conservative society, very racist, highly religious, exceptionalist, self-centered, ignorant, propagandised, dangerous gun / murder-infested society, now stripping away its own people's basic rights (whilst ignoring the rights of people from other countries), not caring about welfare and health of its own people, not providing basic needs. " Those folks are the ones who afraid of immigration. They are the ones who attempt to make a distinction between "legacy Americans" and "immigrants". Unfortunately, they are by-and-large too ignorant to realize that if they aren't "native Americans", that they, too, are immigrants. They are the ones who are afraid that the America they know is becoming "browner". And they don't like it.
The other America is quite different. They are liberal, at least in terms thinking that what is good for every citizen is good for America. Many are socially liberal but fiscally conservative. They may be religious but religion doesn't color their whole world. They are mostly college-educated. They may or may not be "anti-gun" but certainly believe that America doesn't need 120 guns per every 100 people.
The assimilationists, though, only think of assimilation as something that white people do. Because if an immigrant is of European origin, the first generation who speaks perfectly unaccented English can certainly pass for one of their so-called "legacy Americans". But an immigrant of color, whether they're Asian, African or Latino can't (according to them) ever assimilate because they don't and can't ever pass for a "legacy American". That's why there are so many "hate crimes" happening that didn't happen before the rise of the Mango Mussolini.
But let's not mistake that the folks who cross the southern border illegally are doing so because the USA is their last hope for a decent life. They may prefer to go elsewhere but the USA is their least-expensive option. Unfortunately, the USA is not, and never will be, able to reform the immigration system or the asylum system properly. The RethugliKKKans won't do it because they're afraid of upsetting their "USA for the white man" base and Democrats won't do it because they will never have a sufficient filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

The real idiots are the poor-and-middle-class RethugliKKKan voters who keep voting red because the RethugliKKKan candidates lie to them and the RethugliKKKan voters are simply too stupid to know better. Lyndon Johnson said it best, though, when he said something like "as long as you can make the lowest-and most-ignorant white voter feel like he's better than the best black voter, you have his vote forever. " And, yes, I know that LBJ was a Democrat. But, like most RethugliKKKans, he was also a racist. I wouldn't be surprised if he was also a misogynist, a xenophobe and a homophobe, just like virtually every RethugliKKKan.
And that's what you RethugliKKKans do best. You litany of BS is legendary. "Trickle down economics", "Single-payer healthcare is a scam", "Welfare queens". "Everything Democrats do is Socialism". It doesn't really matter because the list goes on and on. Not that Democrats are much better but at least they try to do the right thing. You guys, on the other hand, are really great at playing the victim and not much else. Well, OK, you are really good at playing the racist, too. And the xenophobe. And the homophobe. And the misogynist.
Well, I take back what I said. RethugliKKKans are good at a few things. Just not actually governing 'cause that takes real work.

I wonder if stats exist as to the source and detail of current immigrants to USA. How many there are, what their country of origin is, their level of education. I admit that I don't have the stats. My guess is that there has been a huge drop in immigrtnion of educated folk from developed countries. The interner has done one thing. Made it easier for everyone to access the truth.

Pause to think and you will see it is a logical impossibilty. No matter how hard you try, there will always be more failures than successes.[/QUOTE]Sorry, JustTK, that is not just true, and I see it every day. Most of the billionaires in our country are self made. College is more expensive now so if you get the college degree and get way into debt, it makes getting to the American dream harder. Now more women are going to college then men, but it is not a bad thing. The men want to make money, and they have figured out that going to tech schools and apprenticeships often is the way to go. Right now, the craftsman are in crazy demand. I just paid an electrician $125 an hour, and I have an ex-employee working on movie sets in Georgia making $150,000 a year, but you do not hear about that. The sad part is many who went to college are saddled with debt and would have been better off pursing a craft.
There are two things that have gotten worse though. The first is personal freedom and what I mean by that is when I was kid, I would play in the streets all night. These days if your kid is out after dark, you can expect someone to call Child Protective Services. When people were talking about freedom and Ukraine, I recalled going to Singapore and it reminded me of when I was a kid. Kids were out playing, happy, smiling, and there was no fear on the adults faces. That type of freedom is not reflected in the freedom scores the dumb Dems are pulling out with Ukraine and the war there. The irony is now I think it is very safe in the USA, maybe safer than ever, for kids to play late at night. It is just people are too paranoid to lighten up.
The second is the government has gotten too big and they cannot be reigned in. This is why I will likely leave this country. Let me give you one example: the DEA. Since the DEA was founded, there are more drugs on the street, and they are cheaper and more potent than they ever have been. So what does the DEA do? It finds a new bad guy, prescription pain drugs and doctors. What people do not know is the DEA sets a quota on the number of pills that can be sold per year. So they could have with the stroke of a pen reduced the number of pills by 2/3 in this country, which is what happened anyway, but if they did that, everyone who was on these pills and could not get them would have blamed the DEA. Instead, they do this routine where they beat the shit out of patients, doctors, pharmacies, and manufacturers and cash in by issuing fines and making seizures.
Maybe you could justify this if the number of deaths went down, but instead they skyrocketed and are now over a 100,000 people a year are dying of overdoses and once more, the DEA succeeded in getting harder and harder drugs on the street with their actions. Despite this horrible record, a record that would have shut down any business in the private sector, I guarantee you there will be a DEA with a larger budget in 20 years. Any attempt to shut them down will be met with calls that you like drugs and you want people dying of overdoses.
Government spending is now 40% of our GDP and in reality it is probably higher still, and this is what has changed. Every day, I see people are more and more interested in pleasing the government than being productive, and that is probably why I will leave this country.

Inflation Hits Four-Decade High of 9. 1%. Real GDP declined in the first quarter of 2022, and it looks like it will drop in the second quarter as well. Way to go Joe. But no worries. Mr. Clueless is on his way to Saudi Arabia to suck some cock. I am sure that will work.

Every day, I see people are more and more interested in pleasing the government than being productive, and that is probably why I will leave this country.[/QUOTE]Elvis, your refutal of my comment by mention of billionaires kind of proves my point. There are 614 billionaires in USA, So 614 people have arrived at the end of the rainbow. That's a miniscule number. Whereas, the other 329,499,386 are still being fed that BS propaganda story that if you work hard you can achieve success.
Currently, the top 1% hold 32% of the wealth, whereas the bottom 50% hold just 2. 6%. That statistic alone is truly sickening and demonstrates all you need to know – the bottom 50% are being fed a lie! It wasn't always like that. The top 10% of wealth-owners, used to own 45–50% in 1913, but that fell to 30–35% in 1948. This shows the staggering funneling of money up the ladder in the USA in the last few decades.

We know he sucked Iranian cock with gusto during his second term. But it might have been Iranian cock during his first term too as thanks for that "October Surprise" of delaying the release of the last of the hostages until just minutes after his 1981 inaugural speech.

The USA is just a big sweatshop for the rich 1%. That's why no one wants to move there, apart from the desperate.[/QUOTE]Actually, you are correct in some assertions and wrong in others.
Actually, the folks who believe in "meritocracy" don't believe a word of what you say. You have called it "meritocracy" in the past while I call it the fallacious "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" trope. Believe it or not, it is physically impossible for someone to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, but I digress. What the pull yourself up by your own bootstraps crowd fails to realize is that they [B]assume[/B] that everybody starts off equally. The reality is far different, however. To that end, I submit the following video. I'll be the first to admit that I hate watching videos, but this one is only four minutes long and is worth the time to view it. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K5fbQ1-zps[/URL] And that's the fallacy of the "but everybody starts off equally" crowd. Some folks start off more equally than others. But the worst part is that they refuse to make things better for those who don't have the same advantages. Don't attend a good school? Just move! Don't have a good job? Get a better one! Don't have healthcare? Get a job that provides it! Hungry at home? Get a job! Already have a job? Get another one! Already work two? Get another one or go back to school!
Because what would it take to make things better for those who start off behind? More social spending. But the pull yourself up by your own bootstraps crowd is, by and large, also the same crowd that is against any social increase in social spending because an increase in social spending would mean an increase in taxes. But what is worse it that many of the pull yourself up by your own bootstraps crowd vote against the very policies that would give them some relief. A case in point is the "trickle down economics" hogwash. Every reputable economist on the planet knows that "trickle down economics" or whatever the current buzzword is, is a complete crock of shit. But meritocracy crowd votes for it every freaking time. They are simply too stupid to realize that it has never worked. Why doesn't it work? Because rich people didn't get rich by spending money, they got rich by saving money!
What you didn't post, though, was the increase in the gap between CEO pay and worker pay. "The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) estimates that CEO compensation has grown 1,322% since 1978, while typical worker compensation has risen just 18%. In 2020, CEOs of the top 350 firms in the USA Made $24.2 million, on average — 351 times more than a typical worker. " [URL]https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/15/in-2020-top-ceos-earned-351-times-more-than-the-typical-worker.html[/URL] What will the pull yourself up by your own bootstraps crowd say? FAKE NEWS!
In a previous post, you said that you believed that fewer and fewer current immigrants have college degrees. Figure 3 in the following article would seem to dispute that contention. [URL]https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/frequently-requested-statistics-immigrants-and-immigration-united-states[/URL] Please bear in mind that the article talks about "immigrants" and the pull yourself up by your own bootstraps crowd will try to obfuscate that by bringing the term "illegal immigration" into the discussion.
But saying the nobody wants to immigrate to the US unless they are desperate is a bit disingenuous.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2719371]The latest January 6 Violent Trump Insurrection Investigation was funny and sad. Mostly sad.
Whether it was Trump's somewhat "normal" aids he hand-picked to help him overturn a free and fair election and overthrow American Democracy so he could illegally continue to produce the worst across-the-board results of any so-called potus in history who he had to fire and replace with obvious loony and falling down drunk ones or their replacements, they all seem to agree Trump had to be dealt with like the fucking moron with the mental capacity of a 5 year old he clearly is.

[QUOTE]Imagine, as many detractors of Donald Trump do, that the former president ends up decked out in full orange, successfully prosecuted and dragged off to prison in an unprecedented incarceration more commonly associated with third world nations or undemocratic states.
Or consider the possibility that Trump is indeed indicted on charges stemming from the House Jan. 6 committee and Department of Justice but found not guilty, fueling partisan anger and conspiracy theories about a "deep state" out to get Trump.[/QUOTE]Then it's all about "on the one hand" and "on the other hand" and more hesitation and more soul-searching.

I don't give a shit about any theories and how anyone would feel. Did Trump commit a crime, yes or no?
If yes, he needs to be charged.
If no. Well, I can't imagine "no" after everything the Committee has uncovered. But what I think doesn't matter; he can have his day in court.
The article I quoted above does lean in this direction at the end, it's just there shouldn't be any soul-searching about it. Charge the bastard. What Repubs never do is soul-searching. They set a goal and go for it. Coldly, boldly, relentlessly. That's how they win.

Like so many things the left proposes, when I heard about ESG scores, I really, really thought they were a joke. There are so many times I have heard things on South Park (PC Principal, check your privilege, microagressions, Chinese censorship, and Trans bathrooms) that were so crazy and far fetched I could not believe they were real.
On the one hand, I have to hand it to the Dems. The ESG score was a great way to push dumb Dem values and see how many countries and companies adhered to them. Worse, American money was being used to give preference to countries and companies that followed dumb Dem values.
Well, as we saw with climate change, it worked great until people had no water, jobs, food, or power. Ghana, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands have been pummeled, but there are more to come.
Here in Texas we have had a heat wave and the power grid, our own power grid, has been in danger of failing because we went too damned green with the windmills. The reality is they are fine for generating electricity but not when there is high demand and not when the wind dies down.
It is funny to see how California is running out of water but Saudi Arabia is doing fine. That is because SA has actually built desalination plants while California has done nothing.
It was easy to make fun of Biden's energy policy, but we have enough sane people to fight it. These other countries do not. All of Europe is afraid that natural gas will be shut off, but they are worried about excess methane from cow farts. You cannot make this shit up.
Then there is the high gasoline crap. Biden has said he will keep pouring money into Ukraine and is willing to keep gasoline prices up for as long as it takes to defeat Russia. The concept that we suffer financially while enriching Russia makes no sense to me, but I am not a dumb Dem.
The morons at the DEA have policies killing 100,000+ people per year. I want to addict the DEA to pain pills, cut them off, and say "Hey, these are no good for you, do not take them" and force them on the street to die from heroin and fentanyl like they have done to so many people in chronic pain.
But the ESG / Climate change crew is making the DEA look like girls scouts. If this keep going, I want to break away the country in two. Going without food, water, and power is not a cute debate. It is about time to say fuck you Biden. We are going to build refineries, drill for oil, and we will pay California for their fruits and nuts. If you dumb Dems want to go back to the stone age, have at it.

What is needed is inarguable evidence that he knew he was the loser when he was asking fellow Repubs to accept his Big Lie and help him overturn a free and fair election.

The moron brigade still claims that these "useless low IQ welfare immigrants" are all coming to take your jobs. You, Chrissy, have said so yourself. So unless your job is of an unskilled nature, these immigrants ain't going to take nuttin'.
The simple facts of the matter is that you believe in a "USA for white people" mantra. All of your post say that in one form or another.

Here's what really happened on the phone call. First, Trump wasn't the only person on the phone. Also present were Mark Meadows, Mike Pompeo, and multiple attorneys. There isn't the slightest chance that they would have allowed Trump to beg Raffensperger for illegal votes or to threaten him.
Second, contrary to what the media implied, Trump was not operating off the premise that he lost Georgia. If that had been the case, it would indeed have been wrong for Trump to beg for Raffensperger to "find" votes for him.
Instead, Trump was operating from the assertion that he won Georgia. He opened the call with a strong recitation of the facts showing massive fraud on Raffensperger's watch. According to Trump's evidence, he didn't lose by 11,780 votes; he won by well over 300,000 votes, including votes for Trump that disappeared and illegal votes for Biden. Here are some of Trump's statements in that regard:
"I think it's pretty clear that we won. We won very substantially in Georgia. ".
"We have. Anywhere from 250300,000 ballots were dropped mysteriously into the rolls. ".
"We think that if you check the signatures a real check of the signatures going back in Fulton County you'll find at least a couple of hundred thousand of forged signatures. . ".
Trump pointed to 4,925 illegal out-of-state voters, 2,326 absentee ballots from vacant addresses, 5,000 dead people voting, and improperly handled drop boxes. And he brought up the allegations that Georgia is shredding evidence as fast as it can.
[URL]https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/06/07/georgia-gop-censures-secretary-of-state-brad-raffensperger-for-dereliction-of-his-constitutional-duty/[/URL]
The Georgia Republican Party censured Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Saturday for "dereliction of his constitutional duty. ".
WHEREAS, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger failed to perform his duties in accordance with the laws and Constitution of the state of Georgia, and Republican Party values, including but not limited to:
Entering into the Compromise Settlement Agreement and Release, which changed Georgia's absentee voting procedures outside the Constitutionally prescribed format set forth in Georgia law.
Undermining the security of our elections by allowing mass mailings of absentee applications by his office and third parties which created opportunities for fraud and overwhelmed election offices; rendering accurate signature matching nearly impossible; allowing ballot drop boxes without proper chain of custody; and ignoring sworn affidavits and evidence of voter fraud;.
WHEARAS, the fecklessness and failures of Secretary Raffensperger were enabled by the actions and inactions by others such as LT. Governor Duncan, who denied that there was election fraud and punished Georgia Republican State Senators who asked for election audits; Attorney General Carr, who allowed his office to file an amicus brief opposing the lawsuit asking for inspection of the Fulton County absentee ballots; and legislative leaders who failed to fully address known election issues prior to the runoff; all have, either by their direct action or inaction, significantly eroded confidence in our state's election system.

April 9, 2021.
Report: Still no chain of custody for hundreds of thousands of Georgia ballots.
The Georgia Secretary of State's office reported 1. 3 million absentee vote-by-mail ballots were cast in the 2020 election. The Georgia Star News report noted that polling performed by John McLaughlin & Associates suggests that 600,000 of those ballots were placed in drop boxes throughout the state.
The Star News in December filed Open Records requests to Georgia's 159 counties in an effort to procure copies of the ballot transfer documentation. As of Thursday, the outlet has only received chain of custody documentation from 59 counties.
Based on the estimated 600,000 votes placed in drop boxes statewide, the outlet reports that it has yet to receive documentation for 355,918, or 59.3 percent of those 600,000 ballots.

[QUOTE=JustTK;2719581]Elvis, your refutal of my comment by mention of billionaires kind of proves my point. There are 614 billionaires in USA, So 614 people have arrived at the end of the rainbow. That's a miniscule number. Whereas, the other 329,499,386 are still being fed that BS propaganda story that if you work hard you can achieve success.
Currently, the top 1% hold 32% of the wealth, whereas the bottom 50% hold just 2. 6%. That statistic alone is truly sickening and demonstrates all you need to know the bottom 50% are being fed a lie! It wasn't always like that. The top 10% of wealth-owners, used to own 4550% in 1913, but that fell to 3035% in 1948. This shows the staggering funneling of money up the ladder in the USA in the last few decades.
[/QUOTE]JustTK, the joke we used to make about communism was "We communists are fair and believe in equality. Why does your neighbor have 2 cars and you have one? Become communists, and you both will have no cars. ".
Yes, I have seen the nonsense about how people are not better off now than they were in the 1990's but that is bunk. The whole pie has grown bigly since then, and the poor are better off than they were.
The bigger issue is who do the pols serve, us or the billionaires? I think you know the answer to that. Thing is the election of Trump was, and this is ironic because he himself is a billionaire, a middle finger to the ruling elite.
As for the billionaires keeping people down, that is just pure BS. Acai is a fruit / pine nut that was brought to the USA by a hippie type guy a few decades ago. I met him. He liked the taste so much he brought it here. He was putting it in drinks, ice cream ETC. I joked that Coke was going to keep him down, and he said it was the opposite. They encouraged him. They told him if he kept driving his sales higher he would be big enough for Coke to acquire. The same goes in tech. The startups are always looking to be bought by Facebook / Meta and Google.
I remember people incredulous when Facebook bought Instagram for $1 billion. The thought was they overpaid but now they are Facebook's crown jewel. The people who say you cannot make it here if you do not work hard are full of it.
The underlying fundamental issue with the USA and this is strange to say but the women are not having as many kids. Everyone thinks inflation is due to excessive money printing and it is but the demand side is more important and inflation is really driven by the number of young people. Once a person hits age 47, they consume less and less of all things save for health care.
With less inflation, that allows the federal reserve to stimulate growth with ultra low interest rates. This is what causes the huge disparities in wealth. In the early 1980's when we had high interest rates, a business making $1 million a year may be worth $4 million. A tech company with decent growth prospects making $1 million per year may be valued as high as $50 million or more.
Because profits are so important and multiplied as high as they are, there is enormous pressure to keep costs low. When you have a PE ratio of 50 plus like Amazon did, every $1 increase in wages is $50+ out of Jeff Bezos pocket. This drives not just companies but all of society to be on enormous edge. The thinking is if we upset the apple cart the enormous wealth generated will fall. So the government has gotten together with the wealthy and have used this as an excuse to wage war on our freedoms. For the most part, the most basic civil rights are gone. Hell, if you mention to the police you know your rights, they will assume you are guilty of something.
What pisses me off is that when people are asked about searches. They say, "If you have nothing to hide, why not let them?" It is as if the notion that the police may plant something is impossible or are up to no good in another way. I would not have believed this if a lawyer had not told this to me but one guy was arrested because his Viagra was not in a prescription bottle. He had 10 pills and back then they were worth like $200. They arrested him, put him in jail, and when he was let go two days later, the pills were gone. I got to hear stories like this all the time. If it was not the lawyer but the guy, I would not have believed it. I would have said, "Come on, what did you really do?" but the police arrested him so they could steal his Viagra.
When you have companies so on edge with profits, they are susceptible to the police saying we are here to keep the order. Snowden let us know we were being searched illegally and he is in Russia now while the guys who are doing and have done it go free. That is the issue I have with the USA.
I have decided that other countries want to do what the USA has but eventually I want to live in a country where the government is not as trusted or efficient as we are. I am also wanting one with a lot more younger people.
FWIW, JustTK, my brother traveled the world looking for the best country in the world to live in and after all his travels, he came back here. It is not the land of the free anymore (not sure if it ever really was) but it is still the land of opportunity.
One of the reasons I traveled so much to South America was that the demographics were so much more favorable, and they still are. Africa and South America have the best demographics for growth in the world.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2719875]Isn't that what you tell everybody who thinks the US can be better?
You fail to realize (naturally) that much of the debt that the US has come from RethugliKKKan "trickle down economics" horse hockey. The moron brigade doesn't understand that "rich people" stay "rich" not by spending what they have but by hording what they have.
The simple facts of the matter is that you believe in a "USA for white people" mantra. All of your post say that in one form or another. The simple facts are that you are scared spitless that the US is becoming "browner" and you can't do anything to stop it. All of your post say that in one form or another.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2719882] they still believe that the election was stolen and that the folks who marched to the Capitol were unarmed and protesting peacefully [/QUOTE]And there we go again! Another leftist claiming the protesters were armed, when in fact not a single one was found to be. And not a single fatality in the entire protest other than Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester shot dead without warning by a police officer.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2719882]But let's not bring on a separation. Just bring on the Army.[/QUOTE]I don't think you'll like the results when that happens. The rank and file, unlike the prancing princess generals in the Pentagon who are angling for lucrative Raytheon contracts and other deep state gigs when they retire, might not be so keen to attack heritage Americans in favor of election-stealers, illegal immigrants, trannies and groomers (aka the democrat base).

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2719876]Trump was operating from the assertion that he won Georgia. He opened the call with a strong recitation of the facts showing massive fraud on Raffensperger's watch. According to Trump's evidence, he didn't lose by 11,780 votes; he won by well over 300,000 votes, including votes for Trump that disappeared and illegal votes for Biden. Here are some of Trump's statements in that regard:
"I think it's pretty clear that we won. We won very substantially in Georgia. ".
"We have. Anywhere from 250300,000 ballots were dropped mysteriously into the rolls. ".
"We think that if you check the signatures a real check of the signatures going back in Fulton County you'll find at least a couple of hundred thousand of forged signatures. . ".
Trump pointed to 4,925 illegal out-of-state voters, 2,326 absentee ballots from vacant addresses, 5,000 dead people voting, and improperly handled drop boxes. And he brought up the allegations that Georgia is shredding evidence as fast as it can..[/QUOTE]Good post. Over 350,000 illegal ballots in Georgia alone. Democrats love "undocumented" ballots almost as much as they love "undocumented" immigrants.
As Trump said: he won. By a lot.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2719875]still claims that these "useless low IQ welfare immigrants" are all coming to take your jobs.
The simple facts of the matter is that you believe in a "USA for white people" mantra.[/QUOTE]Wrong again. The primary reason the democrats want low IQ turd world illegals is to create a permanent welfare underclass, entirely beholden to them, which will allow them an excuse to grow the government (and their own wealth and power) in order to 'provide services' to the underclass.
As a secondary matter, they (and the treacherous RINO / Cuckservative / Chamber of Commerce types whom we are currently banishing from the GOP, see Liz Cheney primary next month for an update) want them as a serf class. Rather than hire American tradesmen (or American teenagers for simple jobs like lawnmowing as people used to in the old days) they can get some dodgy Guatemalans to do the work on the cheap. Of course it will probably be shoddy and soon break, but few people think long term when they can save up front.
Of course none of the illegals will pay tax, and many of the American tradesmen will be forced onto welfare as a result, so it's a twofer to increase the national debt. Bring on $40 trillion!
Finally, not "USA for white people" but "USA for heritage Americans". That includes white, black and native people who were here before the 1965 Immigration Act was passed <be under false pretenses</ be . The sponsors of the bill such as Ted Kennedy flat out lied (a democrat habit, as we see with your overt lies about "armed protesters" on Jan 6) and told the American people that the country's demographics would not be changed. We must correct that lie and return to the demographics that made the country great in the 20th Century.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2719769]Yeah, I can see a red-blue divide. It might be the only way.
Like so many things the left proposes, when I heard about ESG scores, I really, really thought they were a joke. There are so many times I have heard things on South Park (PC Principal, check your privilege, microagressions, Chinese censorship, and Trans bathrooms) that were so crazy and far fetched I could not believe they were real.
On the one hand, I have to hand it to the Dems. The ESG score was a great way to push dumb Dem values and see how many countries and companies adhered to them. Worse, American money was being used to give preference to countries and companies that followed dumb Dem values.
Well, as we saw with climate change, it worked great until people had no water, jobs, food, or power. Ghana, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands have been pummeled, but there are more to come.
Here in Texas we have had a heat wave and the power grid, our own power grid, has been in danger of failing because we went too damned green with the windmills. The reality is they are fine for generating electricity but not when there is high demand and not when the wind dies down.
It is funny to see how California is running out of water but Saudi Arabia is doing fine. That is because SA has actually built desalination plants while California has done nothing.
It was easy to make fun of Biden's energy policy, but we have enough sane people to fight it. These other countries do not. All of Europe is afraid that natural gas will be shut off, but they are worried about excess methane from cow farts. You cannot make this shit up..[/QUOTE]Yeah this ESG crap is horrifying. The truly terrifying thing is that it is completely backed by Jewish finance, IE Lawrence Fink, Chairman and CEO of Blackrock, the world's biggest investment management company with $10 trillion under its control. These finance behemoths are now using their leverage to threaten companies and indeed countries with divestment if they don't implement the wacko green ESG Agenda (and in the West, the diversity Agenda). They own and control so much, and are now using that power to enforce deeply damaging policies that nobody wants, even at a cost to themselves.
It is similar to George Soros, of the same tribe as Fink, who made his billions as a predatory, socially-damaging currency speculator, and is now spending it funding far-left Globohomo movements that nobody wants (pushing tranny shit on kids, DAs who don't prosecute criminals, etc).
Fortunately for China (and now Russia) they are not entangled in these nefarious tentacles and so are free to have healthy policies that benefit their own people. That is also why third world countries are increasingly turning away from the West and toward China for investment and development. China doesn't push faggotry, trannies and climate bullshit on people who want none of it. They just want to turn a profit. Expect China to step in and help Sri Lanka, adding to most of Africa that they now essentially control (to the material benefit of most Africans).
When the big upheaval comes here in America, we must develop a system not reliant on Jewish finance or we risk falling prey to the same disasters again.

The problem with AGs is that they always try to avoid taking the risk. This is the case when they must take the risk, IMHO.[/QUOTE]Be patient. There are case backlogs in GA due to Covid. A grand jury was selected in May and supoenas were sent out July 5.
You are right that prosecutors don't like losing / embarrassment and are more prone to get all their ducks in a row if the accused can bring excellent lawyers. It's different when charging someone with no money who'll often take a plea deal. That's how most cases are settled.

Whether or not "educated" means folks with some post-secondary education or folks with only a high-school education or something else is immaterial, IMHO. The moron brigade always portrays immigrants, documented or not, as being low skilled and coming for their jobs.

Lost, not stolen
Here is is folks!
[B]Conservatives[/B], including three former federal judges, concluded that the Mango Mussolini did indeed lose the 2020 election.
And guess who is reporting that? FUX "News", of all people. The brigade will, however, call this "fake news". [URL]https://www.foxnews.com/politics/prominent-conservatives-election-lost-not-stolen[/URL] The FUX "NewZ" article contains a link to the actual report which I have also included here. [URL]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aqorZ61AYFqZU-EDQBBzjqfvAoC5nKcB/view[/URL] The text of the article above follows:
"A group of prominent conservatives released a new report Thursday outlining their investigation into the 2020 election and have concluded former President Trump's claims of a stolen election are unfounded.
The report, "Lost not stolen: The Conservative Case that Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election," was put together by three former federal judges and eight conservative leaders who investigated Trump's claims.
Over the course of a year, the group looked at all 64 cases of the Trump campaign's fraudulent claims in six key states and concluded that there were no substantial instances of fraud that would have changed the election results. The report goes state by state and claim by claim, taking time to investigate each legal case.
Fears of further damage to the electoral process drove the report, as allegations of fraud continue. Investigators said they fear that Trump supporters' unwillingness to see the election as lost could come back to haunt them if they flip the majority in the House and Senate this cycle.
"I think there is a lack of recognition that that goes both ways and that, should Republicans take over, you're opening the door for Democrats to say the same thing, and that corrodes the basic fundamental part of our democracy," Benjamin Ginsberg, an election attorney who has worked in Republican politics for decades, told FOX News.
Ginsberg, along with former senators John Danforth and Gordon H. Smith and longtime Republican congressional chief of staff David Hoppe, as well as former Solicitor General Ted Olson and former federal appeals court judges Michael Luttig, Michael McConnell and Thomas Griffith concluded that there were no substantial claims of fraud to change the election.
Griffith told Fox he felt it was important a group of conservatives do an investigation rather than rely on outside sources to investigate.
"I contacted Ben and a number of other longtime political conservatives to say, 'Let's look at this ourselves. Let's not rely on what The New York Times is telling us or our other outlets are telling us. Let's look at this ourselves. Let's spend the time. Let's do a deep dive into each of the contested states, Griffith said.
The report acknowledges that changes in voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic could have created opportunity for more fraud but found that was not the case.
"The performance of the system in 2020 was all the more remarkable because of the extraordinary circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which precipitated changes on an unprecedented scope and timeline," according to the report.
"Some of those changes may have created possibilities for fraud, but there is no evidence that those risks materialized in reality; nor did they result in dampening voter participation. Quite the opposite. Nonetheless, moving forward, the states should redouble their efforts to strengthen the integrity of our voting systems and make it as easy to vote and as hard to cheat as possible for persons of every circumstance. ".
Claims of the 2020 election being stolen continue to come up on the campaign trail both from Trump and from potential voters. At a rally in Alaska recently, Trump said ballot counting needs to be watched.
"Democrats have proven, unfortunately, that the vote counter is far more important than the candidate is," Trump said.
This is exactly the kind of rhetoric Ginsberg, Griffith and their fellow authors insist is harmful to both the country and the Republican Party.
"One of the effects that the charges of fraudulent elections has is that it's going to depress Republican turnout — that if voters come to think their votes don't matter because the results are rigged, they'll stay home," Ginsberg said.

I thought Trump / Repubs were brilliant at this while the Dems sucked
As I recall, over 4 years Trump got squat from Mexico to pay for replacing portions of already existing barriers (wall) after accusing them of only sending their rapists and murderers to the USA.

Well, I guess fellow brilliant Repub diplomat Steve Bannon conned some money out of somebody with his Wall Fund scam. But I'm sure most if not all of those suckers were USA citizens, not Mexican citizens.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2720285]Actually, your post # 9013 intimated that: "My guess is that there has been a huge drop in immigrtnion of educated folk from developed countries. " You said educated and I interpreted that as "college degree". My bad.
The only stats I have about "educated people" (IE college educated folks) is what I posted previously. .[/QUOTE]What I was really getting at is that (I estimate) very few educated people from developed countries want to move to the USA. As I said, why should they? I had a look thru the stats webpage that you linked, thanks. But its difficult to find any useful info, one way on another. For example: I can see that immigrants from developed European countries has dropped sharply. But that doesn't show a rate of new immigrants. It shows the total of immigrants living in USA. Maybe they have been there ages. But immigrant populations from Belgium, Germany, UK, Denmark, Ireland, Ausstralia, Austria, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Switz, All went down by large numbers. France and Spain went up. But overall, hugely down. Although not bullet proof, this points to a drop in interest in going to live in the USA from developed countries.

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2720156]Oh, I fully expect that his dumbness will be the main line of defense, but seriously? After he said this?
"Give me a break" Shiiiiit!
And Trump said it after Raffensperger explained:
- "we don't agree that you have won. ".
- "the data you have is wrong".
- "Rudy Giuliani or his people, they sliced and diced that video and took it out of context".
- "We believe that we do have an accurate election".
[URL]https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/03/politics/trump-brad-raffensperger-phone-call-transcript/index.html[/URL]
But let's say he's really that dumb. So what?
I mean, look: tens if not hundreds of thousands of really dumb criminals get locked up every year in America.
Tens if not hundreds of thousands of criminals PLAYING DUMB get locked up as well.
Listen, I hope you guys are right and the prosecutors are simply getting their ducks in a row. But I won't be surprised (although I'd be appalled) if things go in a different direction.
[URL]https://www.justsecurity.org/78718/the-easiest-case-for-the-prosecution-trumps-aiding-and-abetting-unlawful-occupation-of-the-capitol[/URL][/QUOTE]I totally get what you mean.
But millions of Trump-adoring hillbillies will send him big chunks of their entitlement checks to hire (and then stiff) attorneys who will argue that "what are we going to do here, give me a break" is not saying, "fabricate some ballots and non existent votes for me. " It's only asking a question. And "give me a break" was referring to his need to know "what are we going to do here. ".
The dude fires relatively normal aids who, naturally, don't tell him what he wants to hear and replaces them with Powell, Flynn, Giuliani and other QAnon loons and drunks who he knows will say anything. "Yep, Mr. President, it does appear Leprachauns hiding under your bed stole the election from you". The sole reason being for him to go on FUX News and grandly announce, "People say Leprachauns hiding under my bed stole the election"!
Then in court the plea is, "Hey, I was only acting on what my trusted aids told me. ".
Setting up fall guys and dodging criminal prosecution is his only true expertise. His cons are as bad and obvious as those Nigerian Prince emails. But, like those, the key is to throw out a wide net and he's bound to snag some paying suckers. Even millions of them.
That said, I fully agree he should be indicted and tried. Even though the chances are great that at least one Trump-adoring hillbilly will wind up on the jury. America can not afford to let so-called potuses like Trump skate. And it is important for the evidence to be heard and put on the record wherever possible.

What drivel
[QUOTE=ChrisP;2719945]Wrong again. The primary reason the democrats want low IQ turd world illegals is to create a permanent welfare underclass, entirely beholden to them, which will allow them an excuse to grow the government (and their own wealth and power) in order to 'provide services' to the underclass.
As a secondary matter, they (and the treacherous RINO / Cuckservative / Chamber of Commerce types whom we are currently banishing from the GOP, see Liz Cheney primary next month for an update) want them as a serf class. Rather than hire American tradesmen (or American teenagers for simple jobs like lawnmowing as people used to in the old days) they can get some dodgy Guatemalans to do the work on the cheap. Of course it will probably be shoddy and soon break, but few people think long term when they can save up front.
Of course none of the illegals will pay tax, and many of the American tradesmen will be forced onto welfare as a result, so it's a twofer to increase the national debt. Bring on $40 trillion!
Finally, not "USA for white people" but "USA for heritage Americans". That includes white, black and native people who were here before the 1965 Immigration Act was passed <be under false pretenses</ be . The sponsors of the bill such as Ted Kennedy flat out lied (a democrat habit, as we see with your overt lies about "armed protesters" on Jan 6) and told the American people that the country's demographics would not be changed. We must correct that lie and return to the demographics that made the country great in the 20th Century.[/QUOTE]Study after study has shown that "real Americans" won't do things like cut lawns, muck out stalls, carry mortar or do any of the other thousands of backbreaking jobs that "dodgy Guatemalans do. The moron brigade, though, believes otherwise.
The moron brigade has been hoodwinked. Even many of the same people who wanted Donnie the Dumbass to win have said so. But anybody dumb enough to believe that the election was stolen will believe anything. Every time the moron brigade says "fake news" everybody on the planet laughs at your ignorance.
And, by the way, your white robe is showing.

The really telling thing about this is AOC's reaction. She had a meltdown, calling police and demanding the guy be arrested. Yes, that is the same AOC who just last week laughed at Justice Kavanaugh being forced out of a restaurant by a leftist mob gathering outside making threats, and said that "the point of protests is to make people uncomfortable".
But of course that doesn't apply to entitled little democrat bartender-princesses, who have an inflated sense of their importance and intelligence because guys always sat nodding through their woke globohomo communist horseshit because they were trying to get in their pants. If anyone makes them feel uncomfortable, they deserve to be jailed, or perhaps just shot on sight.
In a sane world, AOC and Kamala Harris would never have left their bars and we would be writing reports about them. Bring on the collapse and restoration.

Trump accused Germany of becoming 'totally dependent' on Russian energy at the UN
"Trump accused Germany of becoming 'totally dependent' on Russian energy at the UN. The German just smirked. " - Washington Post on September 25,2018.

Whether you love the guy or hate the guy, Trump was right on so many topics. He was far from woke, so that didn't work well for him. Only four years later, ask the Germans today how they are going to heat their homes this Winter. They are currently rationing warm water and will add more drastic cuts. Planning for "warming rooms" for people to come and gather to get warm. Ask them about their 10 x electric bills. How would you handle a 10 x increase for your electricity bill?
"Out of President Trump's speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, it probably won't be the script that will be remembered by diplomats but, rather, world leaders' laughter, caught on camera and shared in viral videos. ".
What did the Orange Man warn about? About the energy dependence on Russia. Who is laughing today?
Unfortunately the sheer hate for the guy has polarized so many, that to this day, they cannot see and even acknowledge some of these warnings, and some of the policies. Now, go back and look at what he warned regarding the US and the current leadership. I'm all for saving the planet, but understand that this means you and me won't be part of it in the green agenda. An electric car will only delay it, but that lithium will need a place to rest in 20 years.

It drives them into hyper-drive and act like the intolerant, fanatical, lunatics that they are. But the truth is we have a mentally retarded puppet front man in the White House who does not even know where he is when he wakes up in the morning and the real decisions governing the country are being made behind closed doors by a group of anonymous, Marxist bureaucrats. The result is that inflation is running at over 11%, the stock market is in bear market territory down 20%, energy costs are still astronomic, we are apparently in a recession with 2 quarters of negative GDP growth, rising interest rates and near full employment. There is a word for this economic situation: it is called STAGFLATION!
But wait, the best is yet to come. Inflation and a shrinking GDP will cause aggregate demand to decline and create a loss of revenue in many companies in all sectors of the economy which in turn will mean layoffs and rising unemployment. So what do the Woke Marxist Democratic party leaders want to do about this terrible situation we find ourselves in? They want to raise corporate taxes and print more money. It is unbelievable. But what can you expect from a group of people that refuse to admit that men cannot get pregnant?
And yet they want the American people to believe that Trump is the problem. Good luck with that wokies come November.

[QUOTE=Gino02;2720679]Glad you guys (you and your Buyden) finally agreed with Trump and most Republicans that Walls work and Walls are needed at the US southern border. Good progress.
Now, unlike you and mostly spiteful horseshit libtards, I and most Republicans do give credit where and when it's due. I'm glad that after all the no shows in the summit in LOS Angeles few weeks ago, Mexican president finally showed up to Buyden's invite, and commits this $1. 5 billion for the Wall. Trump had put the seed, and Buyden at least didn't refuse to take that money. Hopefully Buyden will spend it on the actual building of that Wall instead of sending to Ukraine for laundering into Hunter's great addictions. But still Buyden does deserve credit for accepting that money, I agree.[/QUOTE]You're lying again.
Actually, not much of the money Biden got out of Mexico is for building walls. It is for much more proven effective border control methods than that.
Trump was handed a decades long low in illegal border crossings from the Obama-Biden Administration, which he immediately turned into a huge surge in illegal crossings.
Then in 2020, years into his Wall Scam, a new surge in illegal border crossings began for a second time in just 4 years on his watch. He put the cherry on top of his worst border control policies of all time by nearly decimating the entire USA immigration system on his way out as another example of the worst Repub to Dem handoff in a consistent pattern of godawful Repub to Dem handoffs.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2720690]Excellent post. Yet another example of Trump being proven right, and the smug smirks wiped off shitlib faces by harsh reality.
Amazing to remember how good things were just 3 short years ago. Economy booming, gas prices under $2, no new wars, Russia and Afghanistan under control, finally pushing back against China's economic abuses, illegals being stopped. All that and much more ruined so quickly by the Washington swamp / fake media.[/QUOTE]Yes, I agree that it is amazing how much better off America and the rest of the world would be today if only Trump had resigned in mid December 2017, the peak of his success as a so-called potus since by then he hadn't done anything but coast on the positive Obama-Biden trajectories he inherited. Just 4 1/2 years ago. Of course, he would have had to take Pence with him and handed the job over to a Dem. Just about any Dem.
Unfortunately, in late December 2017 he actually signed and passed that godawful waste of $2. 5+ Trillion economic "stimulus" bill that produced not one percent better GDP growth than prior to it and actually produced a million fewer jobs with it than without it.
Followed in 2018 by a series of the worst economic, domestic and foreign policy decisions of all time that, by early 2020, were already beginning to wipe out millions upon millions of USA jobs and businesses, destroy global supply-chains, mass murder millions of people around the world, cripple international travel perhaps forever, requiring massive government intervention and deficit spending, triggering worldwide hyper-inflation.
And as a bonus, Trump was simultaneously totally surrendering to the Taliban in Afghanistan, reinvigorating Iran's nuclear ambitions, providing tireless support to Vladimir Putin in weakening and dismantling Western Democratic Alliances with the capper being to dutifully attempt a violent overthrow of American Democracy at home.
That's quite a final record of results. All Trump supporters and Repubs must be proud of what they accomplished with that one.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2720420]The "sanctions" have boosted Russia's economy, by increasing the price of the oil, gas, fertilizer and food that it exports to India, China, and elsewhere in the world. That is why the rouble is trading at a 5 year high against the dollar. The people whom the sanctions are hurting are the American and European people, who have seen skyrocketing fuel costs (on top of already vast inflation from the covid hysteria and green bullshit) and in Europe are now actually rationing energy. Great job, Washington swamp.[/QUOTE]Amazing! As nauseating as it is, I force myself to watch Russian little Goebbelses like Soloviev or Simonyan. What Chris P and other right-wingers do basically, is repeat all the talking points of the Russian propaganda, often verbatim, sometimes rephrased, but always in line what their propagandists want Americans and Europeans to believe. Although, maybe, maybe they're taking it indirectly from the likes of Tucker, who, I'm sure, has a direct line.
No, sanctions have not boosted Russia's economy, you idiots. And yes, it's true they haven't collapsed their economy just yet, but it's only been 4 months. There are over 10,000 individual sanctions imposed by the world's most powerful countries, and they are working just fine.
No one can wage a war against the whole world and win - if the world doesn't cave in.
Yes, China and India do buy oil and gas from Russia, but with up to 30% discount.
Yes, the ruble is high, but for all the wrong reasons: a) ordinary Russians are not allowed to buy hard currency, and b) because Russia as a country can't buy almost anything from the world. They have a lot of dollars and euros they can't use. And their "strong" ruble is causing their economy magnitudes of problems.
But sure, keep getting your lines from the Russians or Tucker. I'm sure they're totally objective about it.

[QUOTE=JustTK;2708348]Yes, I didn't look so closely at those bcos I assumed they would be correlated and, well, I have a life. Hehe. Historically those are the factors that the Dems used to run on and target.

Let's look a little at a different measure. GDP - check out this report - [URL]https://www.thebalance.com/democrats-vs-republicans-which-is-better-for-the-economy-4771839[/URL].
[B]Obviously FDR is the clear winner bcos he was pres during the economic vacuum post WW2. But what happened to his successor HST? Terrible performance. Obama also did terrible.[/B]
So on this, I would say its a close race.
If you look at real wages. Both have failed.
But as I said in my other comments, these are economic factors that without doubt you value highly. That's your choice. I prefer to value foreign policy and related issues. On these factors both parties fail miserably.[/QUOTE]

The sanctions were designed to crash the ruble, crash the Russian economy, force Russia to withdraw from Ukraine and cause an internal coup against Putin within weeks. Instead, the ruble has appreciated, Russia has just taken the entire Donbass, and Putin's approval ratings among his people are at an all-time high. But watch the fake news zombies tell us that means it's working. LOL. Xpartan is vying with Eihtooms for the title of ISG King of Comedy.
[QUOTE=Xpartan;2720864]No one can wage a war against the whole world and win - if the world doesn't cave in.[/QUOTE]Russia is not waging a war "against the whole world".

[/QUOTE]Yes, the rest of the world is buying Russian oil and gas at a discount, but the Washington swamp's moronic actions have caused the price to rise so much that even with the discount, Russia is making more than it did before the war.
As for your foolish statement that "Russia can't buy almost anything from the world", er, Hello,? Have you been asleep the last 30 years? Everything is made in China, whose relationship with Russia is now stronger than ever.
The only things that the US used to export to Russia are shit that it's better off without, like McDonalds, Facebook Netflix and of course the Jewish banking system. Everything that people actually need, from energy to food and fertilizer to raw materials to manufactured goods can all be sourced outside the West.
In fact, these sanctions are backfiring in an even bigger and more profound way in that they are making vast swathes of the world realize that a) they can't trust, and b) they don't need the West. Some of Russia's foreign currency reserves were stolen by the Jewish banking system despite the fact that they were supposed to be held in a place of sacrosanct neutrality. You better believe that China and others have noticed.
And now Saudi Arabia and Turkey have applied to join the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). Between them, those seven countries produce everything necessary to run a thriving economy. The West needs them more than they need us, thanks to our suicidal green horseshit shutting down energy production, and greed sending all our manufacturing abroad.
The Washington swamp's idiocy will cost it dear in the short and long term. Which is a good thing. As it weakens, loses power and ultimately falls, we will be able to take back our country.

I have done the math. Unfortunately I forgot to save my post and my computer froze while I attempted to post the results. But go ahead and do the math if you are able. All of the data is in these two sources above.
Here's what I remember from my post and you are 0 for 3.
1. 46 countries (if you count all of the satellite Soviets in the old USSR) are or have been communist. Since there are approximately 200 countries in the world, that means that about 25% are or were communist. Nowhere near half.
2. The 46 countries mentioned above have a population of about 2 billion. There were about 7. 6 billion people worldwide in 2017 when the info please figures were updated. I learned in 3rd grade that 2/7. 6 is more like 26% and not anywhere near 50%.
3. The 46 countries mentioned above have a land area that is about 10% of the worldwide land area.
But that's OK, Chrissie. Everybody knows that if you believe the 2020 election was stolen you will believe anything. You'll even believe that 26% is close to "half". I guess it is if you round upwards to the nearest fifty percent.
What was it that you said, Chrissie, in your original post? That you were full of it? Yes, you are.

Published Mon, Jul 18 20227:01 AM EDT Updated 2 Hours Ago.
President Joe Biden's overall and economic approval numbers dipped to the lowest levels of his presidency, according to CNBC's All-America Survey.
His economic approval rating dropped 5 points from April's survey to 30%, lower than the nadirs for President Donald Trump and President Barack Obama.
President Joe Biden's overall and economic approval numbers have reached the lowest levels of his presidency and fallen further than that of either of his two predecessors, according to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey.
With Americans feeling crushed beneath the weight of rising prices, Biden's economic approval dropped 5 points from the prior survey in April to just 30%. The president's economic record is supported by just 6% of Republicans, 25% of independents and 58% of Democrats, a very low number for his own party.
In comparison, President Donald Trump's economic approval bottomed out at 41%, and President Barack Obama's at 37%.
Biden's approval on his overall handling of the presidency came in at 36%, 1 point lower than Trump's worst rating. Among survey participants, 57% disapprove of Biden's handling of the presidency.
Only 58% of democrats support Biden economic policies. I am surprised that the number of smart democrats is this high. I have yet to see a smart democrat on this forum other than Cali Guy.

Donnie the Dumbass said that Germany imported too much Russian gas from Russia. Here's what we know:
World Jul 11,2018 3:29 PM EDT.
BRUSSELS — President Donald Trump wasted no time in escalating his verbal attacks on Germany in the opening leg of his European tour. Seated across from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at breakfast Wednesday morning ahead of the alliance's meeting, Trump expanded his criticism beyond how little – in his view – Europe's most powerful economy spends on defense to target where they buy their energy.
"Germany is totally controlled by Russia," he said. "They will be getting between 60 and 70 percent of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline. ".
But those numbers aren't correct. Here's what we know about the pipeline and the broader fight over natural gas exports.
Trump was referring to the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline that is being built under the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany. Gazprom, Russia's natural gas producer, is building it alongside an existing pipeline of the same name. Several European energy companies, including Royal Dutch Shell and France's Engie, are providing billions in funding.
But Trump's assertion that the pipeline will provide 60 to 70 percent of Germany's energy is incorrect. While Russia will be able to increase the amount of natural gas it sells to Germany through the pipeline, Russian gas will only provide a sliver of the overall energy Germany needs. Germany's energy comes from a diverse mix of oil, coal and renewables. Less than one fifth of the country's power is powered by natural gas; at the moment, just 9 percent of the country's power is generated by Russian gas.
That said, when Nord Stream 2 is completed, it will increase the amount of natural gas Germany gets from Russia. It will also allow Russia to send more of its gas to Germany and its European customers through Germany, therefore bypassing Ukraine, with which Russia is engaged in conflict. Ukraine has long argued Russia wants to both deprive it of badly needed income that it collects for the transit of Russian gas to the rest of Europe and also increase the continent's dependence on Russian energy.
Trump complained Germany is "making Russia richer. " When the NATO secretary general told Trump trade was a separate matter, Trump fired back. "How can you be together when a country is getting its energy from the person you want protection against or from the group that you want protection against?" he asked. "I think it is a very bad thing for NATO and I don't think it should have happened and I think we have to talk to Germany about it. " From Trump's perspective, trading with adversaries is bad business.
It's not just the Germans who are in the words of Trump "paying the Russians billions. " Along with gas from Norway, Algeria and Qatar, Europe gets more than a third of its gas from Russia. Tens of thousands of American homes burned Russian natural gas this winter. The gas itself was produced and liquefied by a joint venture between the French energy company Total and Novatek, a company which has been subjected to USA Financial sanctions.
The Europeans have long been concerned about an over-dependence on Russian energy and moved to diversify their sources of supply. And Trump is not the only critic of the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline. At a meeting earlier this week with Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko, European Council President Donald Tusk said "Nord Stream 2 is a mistake and will not best serve European interests. It is against our strategic interests, our security, and also our rules. ".
It's important to point out that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has herself called for the construction of terminals that would enable Germany to take in liquefied natural gas from other countries, including the United States. And, this March, standing alongside Poroshenko, she acknowledged the politics surrounding Nord Stream 2 and that Germany would demand Russia outline how it plans to use the existing pipelines in Ukraine after Nord Stream 2's completion. Prior to that, she had maintained the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was a purely "economical project. ".

What Trump didn't say Wednesday is where he thinks Germany should get its gas. But he has made his stance on the issue known, to Germany and other world leaders. On the world stage, Trump has become the USA Natural gas industry's salesman-in-chief, telling a steady stream of foreign leaders from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to South Korean President Moon Jae-in that they should buy their gas from the USA Last year, on a visit to Poland, Trump vowed to raise USA Natural gas exports to Europe.
USA Energy producers would love to export natural gas to Europe. The USA Is awash in gas. The so-called "shale revolution" — the combination of American innovation and technology that has enabled producers to get at previously inaccessible oil and gas — has transformed the USA From a country unable to cover its own energy needs to one that on occasion can even export.
Until recently, USA Energy exports were largely of oil. But the emergence and spread of technology and infrastructure that allow companies to cool gas into a liquid, put it on a ship, and turn it back into gas when it reaches its port of call means the USA Can now export its gas, too.
The upside for American companies: There's so much natural gas in the USA, it's cheap. The problem: It's not so cheap by the time it's gone through all those other steps and moved across the Atlantic.
The upside for American companies: There's so much natural gas in the USA, it's cheap. The problem: It's not so cheap by the time it's gone through all those other steps and moved across the Atlantic. The most promising market for USA Liquified natural gas exports is actually Asia and more specifically, China, a country on which the Trump administration has just slapped tariffs.
For that reason, Russian gas is cheaper than American gas in Europe. With a network of pipelines already in place –- and more to come — Russia can simply pipe its gas to its European clientele. Russia is the world's largest gas exporter. Europe can simply not live without Russian gas, especially as some existing sources — particularly in the Netherlands — are on the decline. The only question is through which pipelines Western Europe is going to get its gas from their eastern neighbor. The Russians know this. The Europeans know this. And surely the Trump administration knows this.
This summer, a Russian energy official detailed an emerging concern among Kremlin officials. He'the just come from the annual Munich Security Conference, which is ostensibly focused on matters of defense and security. The Russians have long been accused of wielding their natural gas as a weapon, the stick in a "carrot and stick" approach, and yet the Russian official complained to me that America is also taking just that approach.
"A USA Official at the conference was telling the Europeans American natural gas is 'freedom gas' and to buy it to free themselves of Russian influence. The Americans want Europe to buy American gas even though it's much more expensive. They want Europe to pay 'protection money. '.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2721342]Saying something is true does not make it true. Case in point is this: "about half the world in terms of area and population was communist. " You provided no sources for your contention. Like Donnie the Dumbass, you made it up out of whole cloth without a shred of proof.
As usual, your contention is bogus as backed up by [URL]https://www.infoplease.com/world/population/area-and-population-countries[/URL] and [URL]https://www.infoplease.com/world/diplomacy/communist-countries-past-and-present[/URL].
I have done the math. Unfortunately I forgot to save my post and my computer froze while I attempted to post the results. But go ahead and do the math if you are able. All of the data is in these two sources above.
Here's what I remember from my post and you are 0 for 3.
1. 46 countries (if you count all of the satellite Soviets in the old USSR) are or have been communist. Since there are approximately 200 countries in the world, that means that about 25% are or were communist. Nowhere near half.
2. The 46 countries mentioned above have a population of about 2 billion. There were about 7. 6 billion people worldwide in 2017 when the info please figures were updated. I learned in 3rd grade that 2/7. 6 is more like 26% and not anywhere near 50%.
3. The 46 countries mentioned above have a land area that is about 10% of the worldwide land area.
But that's OK, Chrissie. Everybody knows that if you believe the 2020 election was stolen you will believe anything. You'll even believe that 26% is close to "half". I guess it is if you round upwards to the nearest fifty percent.
What was it that you said, Chrissie, in your original post? That you were full of it? Yes, you are.[/QUOTE]As always, PissVomitMonger did not properly read or understand the debate. The timeframe in question was 50 years ago, at the height of communism. In 1970, the world's population was 3. 5 billion, of which a third was in China and the USSR alone. Add in the other 30 or so communist countries and you will get to approximately half.
As I stated, the number of countries is irrelevant, unless you believe that Liechtenstein and Monaco are somehow "more" than China.
Finally, are you stating that the land area of the 46 countries (USSR, China, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Yemen, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Rep. Of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, DR Congo, Angola, Benin, Dem Rep. Of Congo, Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, and Mozambique) is about 10% of the worldwide land area? Subtract Antarctica from the total, do the math again, and show me the results. Regardless, the important factor is population, which you failed to understand (as always) was very different in 1970 to now.

The democrats cook up a vast, insane, nation-wrecking, inflation-causing, debt-rocketing bill costing trillions of dollars, most of which is entirely wasted on green bullshit, kickbacks for Nancy and Joe, tranny-groomer indoctrination for small children, and all the other crap we know govts burn up our money on.
There's a couple of lines hidden in the bill about funding cops.
Republicans and any other fiscally sane people vote against the terrible bill.
The democrats and fake news shriek "THEY VOTED AGAINST THE COPS" while completely ignoring the other multiple trillions of pork bullshit.
If you want to fund the cops, pass a separate bill funding the cops. Don't hide it in the middle of your multi-trillion horseshit. Jeez, you have to be functionally retarded to fall for that. Which is another reason why democrats are so keen to replace heritage Americans with 75-IQ turd world illegals.

President Biden and his acolytes have killed "wisdom" in this country. He points to incomprehensible policies like diminishing the police and failing to secure the southern border, among others.
What is absolutely true is that Biden's open border stance and emphasizing social justice over criminal justice are stupid indeed. And stupidity is the opposite of wisdom.
There are not really two sides to those issues. The campaign to harm traditional policing has led to thousands of violent deaths. No bail for dangerous criminals will do that.
And the unrestrained migration and narcotics traffic on the Mexican border has also killed legions of people.
President Biden has no answer. He and his minions simply deny there's a problem. Biden won't even visit the border, perhaps because he knows he could never pronounce "Juarez."

Where the Left really wants to go
One of the few positive things coming out of the incredible failure of the Biden administration is the decline of the progressive movement in America.
Joe Biden campaigned as a moderate but immediately embraced far-left policies after his inauguration. That led to debilitating inflation, massive federal spending, worldwide embarrassment in Afghanistan, a woke culture that has damaged millions of Americans, and a stated presidential mandate to impose " equity. ".
The equity thing, where certain preferred groups get special treatment by both federal and state governments, has caused a horrifying spike in violent crime (minority criminals often go unpunished). In addition, Biden's ultra-dangerous open border policy (migrants dying as well as drug users) is inexplicable.
Because Mr. Biden's failures are so vivid, the progressive crew that directs him is getting hammered in the court of public opinion. The crazy-left District Attorney in San Francisco was recently fired by voters, and his counterpart in LOS Angeles County currently awaits the same recall fate.
Progressives have lost hearts and minds but not the committed leftwing media. The LOS Angeles Times, which supported the Chesa Boudin in San Francisco and George Gascon in LA, remains unrepentant of its far-left fanaticism.
In fact, that newspaper is a good roadmap to where progressives really want to go. In a recent column, Times scribe Nicholas Goldberg actually dismantles the Constitution. Please read the next paragraph carefully.
"Let's be honest: the problem isn't just with the (Supreme Court) justices. The problem, at least a substantial portion of it, lies with the USA Constitution itself.
"Yes, the hallowed Constitution, the document hammered out by 55 bewigged men in Philadelphia."
Goldberg then goes on to quote radical leftist (in my opinion) David Law, who teaches at the University of Virginia: "How could it (the Constitution) possibly fit the needs of a highly diverse country of 300-plus-million people in the 21st century. ".
So there it is, the real progressive agenda. Get rid of that arcane system of government the "white landowners" imposed back in 1787. Knock that constitutional sucker out!
Goldberg then goes on to enumerate some new provisions the LA Times thinks are cool. No electoral votes, popular vote rules. So, because California has the most citizens, it would dictate many political outcomes for the entire country.
Also, the states should not have two senators, Goldberg says. California should have many more than Wyoming and other small states.
The right to "bear arms" is "antiquated and dangerous," writes Goldberg. It absolutely has to go.
The Second Amendment should be replaced by a new mandate: "environmental rights!" Of course, the federal government would define and enforce those rights, whatever they turn out to be (say goodbye to your car).
Old Nick also wants to protect "gay, transgender and women's rights" with another new constitutional amendment.
Sure. Let's divide Americans along gender and color lines. President Biden would love that.
The grievance list of the LA Times and its progressive staff is endless. Free everything for the "oppressed. " Stick it to the haves!
That is the true progressive vision. And I very much thank Nicholas Goldberg for stating it.

[URL]https://www.independentsentinel.com/report-that-bidens-fed-pills-prior-to-public-speeches/[/URL].
Then there was this Biden has a history of brain surgeries and other significant health issues. After his aneurisms, the doctor said he won't be the same.
I was like WTF? Why was this not being spouted everywhere? The notion being spread is that they got all the bad stuff which is bullshit. The underlying cause for aneurysms, vascular disease, is still there.
The same was true with Hiliary by the way. She had brain issues. [URL]https://blog.everymothercounts.org/hillary-clintons-brain-blood-clots-strokes-and-embolism-f42710daff1f[/URL].
They both had vascular disease in the brain, and vascular dementia is characterized by waxing and waning levels of cognition which you can see in both these two.
Chris P blasted Jewish bankers as promoting the horrible ESG scores, and he is right. I just wish he would have contrasted the evil Democratic Jewish bankers like Robert Rubin and Lloyd Blankefein with solid Jewish conservatives like Ben Shapiro. Anyway, these evil bankers have screwed up so much and are funding the crazy progressive agenda you laid out.
This one passage from Klain's wiki page tells you all you need to know about him: In financial disclosures Klain reported owning assets worth between $4. 4 m and $12.2 m in 2021 compared to between $1. 4 m and $3. 5 m in 2009. He received a salary of almost $2 m in 2020 from the venture capital firm Revolution LLC, where he served as general counsel and executive vice president. In 2009, he reported earning a salary of $1 m.
He is the second coming of Robert Rubin but has even more power. Bleech!
When I voted for Trump, much of the reason was he was his own man free from being easily paid off. There is a swamp in Washington and they really screwed him over. That is going to be the dilemma for me going forward with my vote. I do not think Trump can drain the swamp but I would love to see him take an even bigger whack at it. Desantis probably would just trim it a little.
I wonder who I would have voted for in 2016 had Jeb Bush run against Bernie Sanders. It is funny that the one guy who is not beholden to the Jewish bankers in the Democratic party is Jewish. I have little doubt Jeb is bought and paid for by them. Thing about Bernie and Trump was that they were really the only candidates who appealed to the pubic (and given the name populist snidely by the press).
I voted for Trump but I certainly would have preferred Jewish President Bernie Sanders to Jewish President Ron Klain.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2721492]As always, PissVomitMonger did not properly read or understand the debate. The timeframe in question was 50 years ago, at the height of communism. In 1970, the world's population was 3. 5 billion, of which a third was in China and the USSR alone. Add in the other 30 or so communist countries and you will get to approximately half.
As I stated, the number of countries is irrelevant, unless you believe that Liechtenstein and Monaco are somehow "more" than China.
Finally, are you stating that the land area of the 46 countries (USSR, China, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Yemen, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Rep. Of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, DR Congo, Angola, Benin, Dem Rep. Of Congo, Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, and Mozambique) is about 10% of the worldwide land area? Subtract Antarctica from the total, do the math again, and show me the results. Regardless, the important factor is population, which you failed to understand (as always) was very different in 1970 to now.[/QUOTE]Pretty typical for you. Don't like being called out for lying? Just change the parameters and say that the other person is an idiot.
OK, leader of the moron brigade, let's take a look.
First, in 1970 (that's the date [B]you[/B] used (the world's population was 3.68 billion. The total population of the USSR and China was a little over 1 billion. That's about 28%. And while 28% is close to 33.3%, it isn't 33.3%. You lose.
Second, every knows that you are ignorant of history. Of the 26 countries you mentioned, 5 weren't even communist in 1970. No changing the dates, either. [B]You[/B] said 1970. And the population of the countries that were communist in 1970 was a little over 220 million. Add 220 million to 1 billion and divide that by 3.68 billion. Oops! Not close to "half" is it? You lose.
Third, the land area of Antarctica is about 10% of the worldwide land area. So communist countries were 20% of your made up number. You lose again.
When somebody is ignorant, they make dumb statements that are unsupported by facts. After all, anybody who believes that the Army took over the airports during the Revolutionary War will believe anything!

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2721683]President Biden and his acolytes have killed "wisdom" in this country. He points to incomprehensible policies like diminishing the police and failing to secure the southern border, among others.
What is absolutely true is that Biden's open border stance and emphasizing social justice over criminal justice are stupid indeed. And stupidity is the opposite of wisdom.
There are not really two sides to those issues. The campaign to harm traditional policing has led to thousands of violent deaths. No bail for dangerous criminals will do that.
And the unrestrained migration and narcotics traffic on the Mexican border has also killed legions of people.
President Biden has no answer. He and his minions simply deny there's a problem. Biden won't even visit the border, perhaps because he knows he could never pronounce "Juarez."[/QUOTE]Another Bill Reilly rip off with the worn out "open borders" straw man that no one has advocated.

Great post
[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2721686]One of the few positive things coming out of the incredible failure of the Biden administration is the decline of the progressive movement in America.
Joe Biden campaigned as a moderate but immediately embraced far-left policies after his inauguration. That led to debilitating inflation, massive federal spending, worldwide embarrassment in Afghanistan, a woke culture that has damaged millions of Americans, and a stated presidential mandate to impose " equity. ".
The equity thing, where certain preferred groups get special treatment by both federal and state governments, has caused a horrifying spike in violent crime (minority criminals often go unpunished). In addition, Biden's ultra-dangerous open border policy (migrants dying as well as drug users) is inexplicable.
Because Mr. Biden's failures are so vivid, the progressive crew that directs him is getting hammered in the court of public opinion. The crazy-left District Attorney in San Francisco was recently fired by voters, and his counterpart in LOS Angeles County currently awaits the same recall fate.
Progressives have lost hearts and minds but not the committed leftwing media. The LOS Angeles Times, which supported the Chesa Boudin in San Francisco and George Gascon in LA, remains unrepentant of its far-left fanaticism...[/QUOTE]No sane person can dispute this.

The 2nd trick the left likes to use is to just flat out lie by manipulating the data.

So your apparent counter argument is inane and deceitfully meaningless.
It belongs right up there with BKK Bob's lunacy that the economy is better under Biden than it was under Trump or that Jimmy Carter ended stagflation which are both straight out lies.

Be assured that after I file this reply I will put you back on my ignore list where you belong.
But wait, before I put you back on ignore, just answer these simple questions:
We all know the left thinks open borders are good, so why aren't you proud of Biden's border accomplishment? He has allowed 4 or 5 million illegal aliens into the country since he came into office which is a violation of his oath of office BTW. Saying that Trump fucked up the border because he let in more illegal aliens than Biden or Obama makes no sense coming from a far left wing loon point of view. If it were true you would be applauding Trump and saying he is your guy. LOL.

"Yet despite this supposed focus, the government records show that Border Patrol was observing more immigrants sneaking into the country than when President Trump took office. In fiscal year 2016, Border Patrol agents witnessed about 100,000 successful entries. By 2018, the number had risen to nearly 128,000. In 2019, it hit 150,000. Through four months of 2020, it was on pace to hit almost 156,000. It appears to have worsened since then. In early 2020, officials told the Washington Post that got‐8203;aways had "soared," reaching over 1,000 on one day. Nor can the Trump team claim that the increased crossings were only the result of more people crossing overall. In January 2020,29 percent of 41,000 detected crossers evaded capture. In December 2016,17 percent of 52,400 made it in. ".
[URL]https://www.cato.org/blog/trumps-border-policies-let-more-immigrants-sneak[/URL]
Also see the graph within the article. It's quite the steep climb of successful sneak-ins from 2015, then spiking from 2017 through 2020 while the volume of detections remained relatively constant. The percentage of successful sneak-ins relative to detections also increased. Prior successes were largely the product of enhanced detection technology put in place during the Obama administration. See the imbedded link within the article. The Trump administration though dropped the ball, did not follow through with this technology. Then again we saw what they think of law enforcement on January 6th, 2021.

Also some of us are for a looser immigration policy as we need our yards mowed, fruit picked, roofing services, and we want our hamburgers served within a reasonable length of time. And the vast majority of migrants are hard working and law abiding. We are experiencing a labor shortage. Historically what always follows that? Migration, has been going on for millenniums. As to you, you are a xenophobe that is being played by demagogues like Trump. In sociological terms it's all about "the other," people who look and think differently than you.

Or the counterpart scenario taking a natural born female from female to male gender identification.
The concept is "gender identification", not "miraculous transformation.

But that's what you rightwingnuts are all about. Ignorance. That's what the one-term, twice-impeached, POtuS wanted. And he got them. Doubled. In spades.

Well
[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2722064]That is a logical answer to my question and it indicates that you are not WOKE. This along with the fact that you post actual trip reports further demonstrates that you are not a left wing fanatic like some others on this thread.
But why do you think the Wokes will not or can not answer this question? And why do they insist on indoctrinating young school children with this drivel? And why are they intent on destroying women's sports by allowing men (tranys) to compete in women's events?
And please note the Left's tactic of trying to cancel anyone who opposes their insanity combined with another favorite woke tactic of accusing those who oppose this sexual identity idiocy as homophobes and / or sexist like BKK Bob just tried to do to me in his last post.
No BKK Bob, I am not concerned "about waking up one morning as a pregnant ladyboy?" I just don't like what is going on in our grade schools. No sane person does. Leave our kids alone, fascists! But I note that you did not answer the question. If you are in agreement with the idea that chromosomes do not determine one's sex and therefore that individuals can be any sex they want to be; how many ladyboys have you slept with? This is not a gotcha question. I have no problem with anybody who enjoys shagging ladyboys. As you probably know, I have been to LOS around 50 times in the last 25 years and so I am quite used to ladyboys asking me to enter their Go Go's as I wander around Nana or ladyboys SW's offering themselves to me on Soi 4 or on Sukhumvit. They do not bother me and I don't care how many ladyboys you have slept with. I am just trying to point out the lunacy of the woke Democratic party. So one more time since you did not answer my simple question: "can a man become pregnant? / Is a ladyboy a girl? The answer is obvious so why won't the Left answer it?[/QUOTE]Well you have all the lingo down, "the left" "woke" "cancel," etc. You've been indoctrinated well, good little sheep / cyber foot soldier. "The left" though feels like they are the ones getting "canceled. " Here's an interesting article.
"These are laughable concerns from those who tried to cancel millions of black people's votes in the last presidential election, and whose party is now cranking out literally hundreds of voter suppression laws to cancel Black people's voting rights. It's also a perfect illustration of the bait-and-switch tactic underlying all the phony Republican hysteria fueling so-called cancel culture. Conservatives' indignation is really just anger over the fact that marginalized folks—mostly thanks to social media—can now call them out for all the things they regularly say and do to further racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic agendas and white mob violence. What these put-upon conservatives are really pissed about isn't censorship or cancellation. It's consequences. ".
[URL]https://www.thenation.com/article/society/republicans-cancel-culture-kaepernick/[/URL]
And another, but it's for sure that the far right are pros at cancelling.
"What more grotesque display of cancel culture is there than invading the USA Capitol in a violent attempt to cancel the constitutional tabulation of ballots in the 2020 presidential election? Or the Republican officials who even now seek to erase the past 13 months of Joe Biden's presidency (not to mention 81,283,098 votes) by refusing to say that he was elected? Or demanding the cancellation of the television show "The View" because of the odious and uninformed opinions of Whoopi Goldberg? Or the calls for the removal of Colin Kaepernick from the NFL for legally protesting as part of the Black Lives Matter movement? Or, in 2003, the banning of "French fries" from the menus of congressional dining rooms because the government of France opposed the Iraq war? Or demanding that radio stations not play songs by the Dixie Chicks because of the group's opposition to the same invasion? Or last year's attempt by the Ohio secretary of state to cancel a Jane Fonda speech because of her 50-year-old views on Vietnam?

OK, Pxxx is back on my ignore list because I won't waste my time debating with an angry concrete wall. It gets you nowhere. To quote Bill O'Reilly, anyone who thinks illegal immigration is under control and lower under Biden than it was under Trump is either a "Loon" or a liar or both.
Every sane person know this and I won't debate a loon. Now Biden maybe doesn't know what is going on at the border, but we know Biden is mentally infirmed. You can bet your last peso that Nancy, Sandy, Bernie and fake Pocahontas along with all the elites and various leaders of the woke Marxist Democratic party know the truth. The open border is not an accident or caused by bad management. They want an open border to dilute the percentage of American citizens in the USA and to facilitate their planned totalitarian left wing takeover of the country ie to turn the country into California. It is just tragic for the left that Joe Biden is president and his incompetent presidency is destroying the movement by awakening the American people to the danger. This is what happens when you make a deal with the Devil.

Oh no no no
The demonstrably winger-leaning RealClearPolitics now shows the Generic Ballot poll of polls at a statistical tie between Dems and Repubs at only a well within a normal margin of error 1. 8 percentage point "advantage" for Repubs. And this is down from a near double digit advantage for the Repubs just 2-3 months ago:
[URL]https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/2022-generic-congressional-vote-7361.html[/URL]
I guess the unanimous vote by House Republicans to Defund the Police, the Repub SCOTUS' decision to overturn Roe v Wade and thereby outlaw Sex-For-Pleasure in America and the Repubs' love for making sure America's loony winger mass murderers are the best armed and equipped on the planet to kill as many children with a single squeeze of the trigger as possible is catching up with them for this midterm.

Was Trump correct in telling the Germans that their reliance on Russian energy would put them in danger (while they giggled like the idiotic children that they are)? If yes, will you give him credit for his remarkable prescience?
Was Biden (or rather his handlers) correct to give the go-ahead for the Nordstream 2 Russia-Germany pipeline soon after being fraudulently installed (after Trump had blocked it during his presidency)? Were the handlers correct to block the XL Keystone pipeline and reduce US energy production?
What is a woman?

Biden Calls On The Economy To Stop Being Bad
Washington DC — In a bold move this morning to address the nation's financial woes, President Biden has officially called on the American economy to stop being bad.
"Come on, economy!" said an impassioned President Biden. "Make everything cheaper! Give everyone more money! I hereby demand you stop being atrocious! Do it. Do it now!
Pundits immediately lauded President Biden's brilliant plan, with MSNBC heralding it as the most transformative economic initiative since the New Deal. "Biden simply asking the economy to be better is nothing short of genius," said Rachel Maddow. "Economists are out there playing checkers, and Joe Biden is here playing chess, what with his clarion call to give everyone more money and make everything cheaper. Why has no one thought of this before?
President Biden also took the opportunity to speak directly to the struggling stock market. "I know people who used to have money in their retirement accounts are frustrated — which is why today I am also calling on the stock market to go up. Just do it, ok? Just make the numbers bigger! Repeat line, end of speech!
At publishing time, sources say inflation is still skyrocketing, a recession has begun, the stock market is still crashing, and it's all Putin's fault.

OTOH, an old timer, Africans living in the Bush, and Walsh's own wife amazingly answered it with ease.
On the serious side, the issue is men identifying as women being put up in women's prisons and raping women there. In Loudon County a boy who identified as a girl raped two young girls in the female locker room. Ironically now there is a a progressive woman's group, which has gotten a lot of crap for doing this, suing to keep trans men out of women's prisons.
And then you have PVM recounting Trump's gaffes. The gaffes were not Trump's finest hour but we Republicans do not even recount Biden's gaffes because we think they are not gaffes but dementia. The latest was Biden saying the oil that streaked his mother's car windshield gave him cancer. Back in April, that same oil residue gave him and 80% of the state of Delaware asthma. We have twice literally seen Biden try to shake the hand of a ghost, and it is almost like cruel to keep playing that tape back.
The media, which is suffering an all time credibility problem, is now admitting Biden's age is an issue and he is not all there as if he was when getting elected. No, the media was so obsessed with beating Trump, they propped up an old white guy with dementia, slapped a moderate label on him, and used him to get rid of Trump. Sadly, they gave no thought to our having a demented president in office.
So yeah, the Dems will be running in 2022 on the economy, Republicans defunding the police, the open border and fentanyl being no big deal, people being whatever gender or animal species they want, and the superior mental acuity of Biden. Talk about your comedy routine.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2722087]My opinion of the issue is right there in my posts subject line and the body of the post; what on earth difference should it make to you what gender anyone chooses to identify with?

Or the counterpart scenario taking a natural born female from female to male gender identification.
The concept is "gender identification", not "miraculous transformation.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2722351]Yeah, I think it is comedy hour everywhere. You have Xpartan thinking the Dems are going to win in November on the economy and Republicans defunding the police.
Then you have Paulie saying open borders with the toxic amounts of heroin and fentanyl pouring through them are no big deal. The Dems are actually making the case here that those running for office should run on the border issue. No, really. For a bird's eye view of what is happening, there is a great piece here: [URL]https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/i-made-it-to-the-u-s-mexico-border-in-2022-before-biden-and-harris-did[/URL].
Then you have Eih saying this.
Yeah, the running schtick on this was exposed by Matt Walsh. First, he wrote the runaway best seller Johnny the Walrus when a boy chose not to identify with gender but the identity of a walrus. Quite frankly, I thought the whole gay marriage rebuttal "I love my dog. Can I marry it?" was stupid. This Walrus stuff is not. In fact, in his movie, what is a woman?, Walsh finds a guy who identifies as a wolf and I was left to wonder, "Is anyone going to say that is not okay?" But the best part is when dumb Dems were asked the question "what is a woman?" and were not able to answer it. OTOH, an old timer, Africans living in the Bush, and Walsh's own wife amazingly answered it with ease.
On the serious side, the issue is men identifying as women being put up in women's prisons and raping women there. In London County a boy who identified as a girl raped two young girls in the female locker room. Ironically now there is a a progressive woman's group, which has gotten a lot of crap for doing this, suing to keep trans men out of women's prisons.[/QUOTE]68% of democrats think the economy is bad and getting worse. Obviously the other 32% are complete fools or have dimentia like Biden. Biden's only plan to beat inflation is to put the country into a huge recession. The idiots who voted for him are paying the price and suffering the most. Latinos are getting smarter. But several idiots are in denial. They just accept the fact that Biden policies are ruining the USA and driving millions of people into poverty.

[QUOTE=Beijing4987;2722479] A leader cannot perform miracles. [/QUOTE]You mean like wipe out a virus? Yeah, I agree and how many dumb Dems believed it? How many times have we seen the dumb Dems blame all the American Covid deaths on Trump?
And when Biden did not get the results he wanted with mass vaccination, he pulled something out of the dictator hand book and blamed the opposition. "This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. " And the NYT published this endless score of articles showing blue states did better than red ones. Bleech!
And all the shit that was proposed to work with Covid did not. The vaccines were the worst. First, the vaccine definition was changed. Then the claim was the vaccine prevented transmission. Yeah, that was not true. Then the vaccine prevented death. Not only was that not shown in the initial trials, the longest study conducted on the vaccine showed no death benefit so why was the vaccine mandated again?
[URL]https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/long-term-lancet-study-shows-vaccines-dont-prevent-death/[/URL]
"Among 74,000 trial participants, there were 31 all-cause deaths among the vaccinated and 30 among the placebo groups as of January. ".
Wow, we better immunize every fucking child in America with that kind of data!
When the news was blaring Covid every day, you wonder what Americans would have said the expected death rate was with Covid when offered vaccines. I guarantee you it sure as hell would not have been that low.
Thank God though, we did have a cure for Covid, the Ukraine war. And before that, there were the BLM riots. It was impossible to catch Covid when you went to a BLM riot.
And of course like Fauci before him, another blowhard "expert" this time Biden himself, Mr. Vaccinated x 5, comes down with Covid. You have to wonder what Biden failed to do. No mask? Lack of Purell? Did not social distance? Somebody around him coughed into their hand and not their elbow? Well, it had to be something. It is not like people catch Covid on their own. / sarc.
So yeah, I agree with you. A leader cannot perform miracles. And since we are on the subject of what leaders can and cannot do, WTF is up with climate change? Why do pols think they can change the climate any more than cure a common cold virus?
If I voted for Biden, I would be pretty pissed that we have had such a hot summer. I thought Biden guaranteed that every day would be 80 degrees and sunny.
But seriously, how the hell do you control the climate?

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2722592]Those Sucommittee hearings really value having new, exciting, storylines for each hearing, to keep things fresh.
Within character.[/QUOTE]Of course, had Trump spent every waking minute of his so-called presidency jerking off in the WH basement instead of what he did, he would not have produced nearly as much across-the-board damage to America, mass murdered nearly as many Americans nor posed as much clear and present danger to American Democracy as he and his supporters (virtually every Repub and / or Biden / Dem-basher) still pose to this very day.
Based on the ongoing sworn testimony of the scant few former Trump supporters and so-called Trump Administration staffers who snapped out of the Trump / Repub Cult lunacy long enough to recognize the truth of their prior America-hating malignancy, the only possible defence Trump might offer to weasel his way out of criminal indictment for what he did and did not do on January 6, 2021 and every day of his so-called presidency is to blame his deep cognitive impairment regarding ordinary words and phrases (oranges oranges, anominus anominus, Yo! Semite!) For misunderstanding that his pledge to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" meant, you know, to actually "execute" them as in publicly killing them.

Orange Throne Fund Raiser... Coming Soon?
So why the long sour faces on all you QOP/Trumpsters?
Yeh...Okay!...I know, I know, [b]Session #8 (Jul 21st, 2022) of the Jan. 6th Hearings[/b] was a [b]crushing blow[/b] to the orange king and many of you out there in "Trump World", but not too worry, as I'm sure that special email will be coming soon, you know the one...let's all help [b]"Make Trump, President Again![/b]
So, just a quick reminder to all you loyal "Trumpsters" and cult worshipers to the Orange Throne, to pay your taxes (formally known as donating or contributing to the grift to the unwitting), and get your the orange king to run for the House in 2024 (and as a bonus hopefully escape prosecution from the DOJ).
Attached below is a reminder of said contribution email/forms, just in case you may have forgotten. BTW, no need to UNCHECK the box, we will just continue to fleece you with weekly/monthly withdrawals.
And remember, [b]UNCHECKING the box[/b] makes supporters [b]a DEFECTOR[/b] who has [b]sided with the Dems.[/b]

This is so fucking outrageous. It is beyond reason and sanity. The would-be Assassin of the New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin was arrested, charged with 2nd degree Attempted Assault, and then wait for it, promptly released from jail without bail on his own recognizance.
What more evidence can we the people have to prove the insanity of the Woke Left Wing Democratic Party and all the individuals who support this madness and consider themselves "progressive"? For the cool aid drinkers there will never be sufficient evidence to change their minds. But a change is coming in November.

In addition to Covid not being over, we're now having something we've never had before: the Great Resignation. People are leaving their jobs at at record-high rate, and yet, under Biden's administration unemployment is down by over 40%.
Last year, Trump budgeted over $150 million to hire cops and Biden wanted to boost it to almost $400 million. Biden is an old school law and order guy.
If there were any police defunding sentiments among more foolish progressive activists, they've never EVER materialized. The only thing these sentiments did was helping Repubs to build their false narrative.
Abd that "couple of lines" Chrissie is talking about is actually $350 billion for local governments. Most of which would go to the police departments to hire and train more cops. Every time Chrissie and his comrades don't like something they cry debt-rocketing. Sure, wasting $3 trillion on tax cuts performed by the Red-Rug Crook for his mega-rich buddies with no strings attached had nothing to do with debt.

Shocking Photo Shows Hunter Biden Fully Clothed Not Smoking Crack
Washington DC — Hunter Biden's iCloud account was hacked by 4 chan users revealing all his personal texts, contacts as well as pictures and videos. In the fallout, truly shocking images of Hunter Biden are now being seen by the public — including photos of Hunter fully clothed and not smoking crack.
"That doesn't even look like him. Got to be a fake!" commented Twitter user John Kirk after seeing the picture. "Once again, they'll do anything to try to cover up the Biden's son acting up, thinking we'll fall for it again. ".
Experts have confirmed that the photos have indeed not been altered or fabricated in any way and that people are actually seeing real, although hard to believe pictures of the President's son wearing clothes, not doing drugs, and not surrounded by prostitutes.
At publishing time, 4 chan users uncovered that within 30 seconds of the photo being taken, Hunter Biden somehow managed to get fully undressed, fire up his crack pipe, and call President Biden so he can wire his prostitutes more money. . .

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2722845]You still can't read for comprehension[/QUOTE]"Certainly not "reading for comprehension" which you have proven time-and-time-again that you are utterly incapable of comprehending anything you read. ".
Your sentence above makes no sense (factually or grammatically).
You could have written: "Certainly not "reading for comprehension", of which you have proven time and again that you are utterly incapable. ".
However the "of comprehending anything you read" is a separate clause, which renders the sentence incorrect as it stands because the "utterly incapable" cannot refer to both "reading for comprehension" and "of comprehending anything you read".
To correct it, you could write: "Certainly not "reading for comprehension", as you have proven time and again that you are utterly incapable of comprehending anything you read". This makes clear that the "utterly incapable" refers to the latter, not the former.
You're welcome. I'm always happy to assist those with special needs.
I don't normally call people out on grammar or spelling, particularly when like you they are writing through tear-streaked eyes at 4 am after three faps, ten red bulls and a week's worth of SSRIs, but given the subject matter (reading comprehension) it seemed apt.
You will be able to find remedial grammar classes at adult education centers near you. Best of luck.

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2722896]This is so fucking outrageous. It is beyond reason and sanity. The would-be Assassin of the New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin was arrested, charged with 2nd degree Attempted Assault, and then wait for it, promptly released from jail without bail on his own recognizance.
What more evidence can we the people have to prove the insanity of the Woke Left Wing Democratic Party and all the individuals who support this madness and consider themselves "progressive"? For the cool aid drinkers there will never be sufficient evidence to change their minds. But a change is coming in November. Lee Zeldon now has a pretty good chance to win the NY race for Governor thanks to these rabid wokes now in office.

Name your favorite
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2723004]You are making my point. Despite all the personal arrows you shot at Trump, you did not even comment once on how he governed, and you dumb Dems rarely do. So I voted for Trump. I do not care for his personality but I liked how he governed. You did not vote FOR Biden. You voted against Trump. The fact that Biden was mentally incompetent and unfit for office to not even cross your mind. He was qualified to be president because he could beat Trump. Io.[/QUOTE]What was your favorite way that Trump "governed"?
Was it his decision to flush $2. 5+ Trillion down the shitter in his one and only "economic stimulus" legislation that did not improve GDP growth by so much as a single percentage point (he predicted 4%, 5%, maybe 6% annual growth from it. He never got 3% real annual growth) and produced at least a million FEWER jobs with it than without it?
Was it his reversing the decades' low illegal border crossings he inherited from Obama-Biden into a 12 year record high and later presided over a second spike in illegal border crossings just 3 years later?
Was it his skyrocketing annual deficits even BEFORE he created Trump's Pandemic in 2020?
Was it his Worst Economic and National Security decisions of all time by any so-called potus ever to Defund the CDC and pull all of the Pandemic Prevention and Response teams from those Chinese labs in 2018 against all expert advice and dire warnings not to do something so stupid and dangerous, followed by his spending the entire critical year of 2020 lying in sync with Xi about anything and everything that would most effectively and efficiently convert any likely manageable endemic viral spread in a specific region of China into the worldwide economy and Supply-Chain destroying historic disaster of Trump's Pandemic that it became and still is in all its variations?
Was it the mass murder of at least a million Americans and millions more around the planet thanks to those 2018 and 2020 Trump "governing" decisions? Or maybe the 10+ Million USA jobs he wiped out? Or the two Bear Market Declines he presided over including that Mega Bear one in 2020?
Was it his lamebrain Trade War with China that only produced a Recession in our Agriculture and Manufacturing sectors requiring Billions in welfare checks being given to barely keep them afloat? Again, even before critical Trump's Pandemic year of 2020?
Was it his very own Great Repub Recession of 2020?
Was it is his early "governing" decision to launch into partnership with Vladimir Putin to spend his entire foreign policy time helping his boyfriend trash America and its intel agencies, attempting to weaken and destroy the world's Western Democratic Alliances in order to smooth the way for autocratic dictators like Putin to prevail?
Was it his "governing" decision to create and promote his Big Lie in order to incite a violent, cop-killing Insurrection to attempt the overturning of a free and fair democratic American election and an overthrow of American Democracy?
There are so many impressive Trump "governing" methods and results for you to choose from it must be really difficult for you to pick a favorite.
And the beauty of it all is none of those things would have happened if Hillary Clinton's win of 3 million more American votes had been the deciding factor in 2016 instead of an appointment by Electors representing empty land than human beings.

Oh No
The Generic Ballot consensus polls are now showing the previous Repub advantage over Dems dropping to a single (1) percentage point:
[URL]https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/[/URL]
Yes, we all know those congressional districts are rigged in favor of Repubs from ridiculously extreme gerrymandering done by them and the Repubs will always have a Senate seat win advantage as long as tumble weeds in Red States continue to be more prevalent (and smarter) than the Repub voters in them.
But this trend is not helpful to the Repub dream of a Red Tsunami this November so they can be better positioned to produce another of their patented Great Repub Depression / Recessions, wipe out millions of USA jobs, Crash the stock market and slap themselves on the back for finding a brilliant solution to 51% energy inflation in the United Kingdom and 74% inflation in Turkey.

Bill is right again
"The midterm elections will test the sanity of Americans as our country is suffering under progressive leadership. There are no two sides to this story. The violent crime wave and the punishing inflation rate are both the result of far-left "leadership. " So is the open border disaster.
One wonders what an ad campaign for democrats would look like. "Vote for me if you want to go broke and become a crime victim!
Sound good?
Ardent liberals are pinning their faint midterm election hopes on abortion and climate change. But with working people getting hammered and the inner-city poor in actual physical danger, social issues will not obscure incompetence.
And sadly, for him, many progressives have given up on President Biden. It is over for him.
The only thing that might rally the left is Donald Trump officially declaring his candidacy for President. Maybe his slogan will be: "Grover Cleveland came back, so can I!
If Mr. Trump announces prematurely, democrats and their trusty media allies will make the November vote all about him in an attempt to obscure the real issues. That worked with Biden.
Right now, Mr. Trump is leading republican polling by a significant margin. He should wait to throw in with old Grover. ".

Even Bill Maher Agrees
Bill Maher:
"And I just thought, you know, if Trump could just let go of the election (2020), which he can't, he can win this so easy because he can win just on Drag Queen Story Hour. " "Anybody could beat Biden. ".
DAMN STRAIGHT.
Maher then went on to say Gov. Ron DeSantis would be the better candidate. I agree, but DeSantis will not run if Trump runs. As a Florida resident I can confirm that DeSantis has been a great governor. But either way, Trump or DeSantis will be the next President of the USA assuming Biden does not step down from office after the November Democrat defeat and Camel Face becomes the interim President. I rate Biden leaving office for "health reasons" in 2023 at 50%. In any case the incompetent woke Democrat Party has got nobody. NOBODY! Let the hysterics begin. KKK /555.

Let's refresh.
Covid what? What about Covid? Is it over? No, it's fucking not.
In addition to Covid not being over, we're now having something we've never had before: the Great Resignation. People are leaving their jobs at at record-high rate, and yet, under Biden's administration unemployment is down by over 40%.
Last year, Trump budgeted over $150 million to hire cops and Biden wanted to boost it to almost $400 million. Biden is an old school law and order guy.
If there were any police defunding sentiments among more foolish progressive activists, they've never EVER materialized. The only thing these sentiments did was helping Repubs to build their false narrative.
Abd that "couple of lines" Chrissie is talking about is actually $350 billion for local governments. Most of which would go to the police departments to hire and train more cops. Every time Chrissie and his comrades don't like something they cry debt-rocketing. Sure, wasting $3 trillion on tax cuts performed by the Red-Rug Crook for his mega-rich buddies with no strings attached had nothing to do with debt.
Here is Chris Walles in his FOX days grilling Jim Banks to explain the Repubs actions and Banks trying (badly) to wiggle his way out of the question.

But you take specifically about demographics. The USA declared economic and often literal war on Latin America in the 1940's, as part of its "Grand Area" planning to maintain its position of economic and hegemonic privilege over the world. George Kennan (Head of State Dept) said in 1948:
"We have about 50 percent of the world's wealth, but only 6. 3 percent of its population. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction. We should cease to talk about vague and., unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better. ".
In 1945 Secretary of War Henry Stimson said "I think that it's not asking too much to have our little region over here which never has bothered anybody".
What no one within the ruling eltes seemed to recognise is the principle of you reap what you sow. Thats why there are so many economic refugess on your doorstep, bcos USA policy for the past 70 years has been to do everything to keep keep the poor Latinos down and take their resources and wealth.

Leftists talk about illegals like the weather, or like a flock of migrating birds. "Oh, they just came because reasons". No, they came because our border is not enforced.

Hhypocrisy
So pxxxx continues to attack me for posting a memo from Bill O'Reilly without quotes but in his dishonest fashion he ignores his boy Biden' Plagiarism history while running in past presidential primaries. Maybe he missed the link.

He also conveniently overlooks fake Pocahontas's false job application when she deceitfully and knowingly claimed she was of Indigenous origins to land.
Cushy well-paid job at a "leading" university.
These are just 2 examples of his hypocrisy and lack of integrity. But we always knew what this guy is about: disseminating left wing propaganda and attacking anyone who challenges Party Dogma. I looked at his post history. It is all propaganda and personal attacks. There is not one trip report, not one bar or bordello report, and not one mention of shagging a girl or anything remotely connected to the sport of punting.
Compare his post history to mine and let me ask the sane members of this thread a few questions: whose experience and judgement on where to go to find sexy, young girls to shag would you trust. His or mine? Who would you rather go barhopping with in BKK, Pattaya, Jakarta, Sao Paulo, Rio, Manila, Macau or AC? And lastly, if you wanted to loot, riot and burn down some buildings who would you call up?

Russia took over Crimea under Obama, did nothing under Trump, then took half of Ukraine under Biden.
Trump had Afghanistan under control, no major attacks from the Taliban, and was preparing an organized drawdown of troops and the retention of Bagram airbase; Biden oversaw the worst humiliation since Vietnam, with Americans running away in the middle of the night without warning and leaving tens of billions in equipment for the Taliban as the fake Afghan govt collapsed like Biden on his stairs of his plane.
Trump got delinquent NATO members to start paying their agreed-upon dues instead of expecting America to foot the bill and go trillions more into debt as had been the case for years beforehand.
Trump had a hugely successful visit to Saudi Arabia early in his term, repairing some of the damage done by Obama, and ensuring cheap gas and high paying jobs for Americans; Biden has wrecked that, first saying he would make Saudi a pariah, then humiliatingly begging them to produce more oil, which they rejected. Now Saudi is moving toward China and away from its long relationship with the US.
So yes, we do love the way he governs.

Fednapping Fail
Here's an important news story which will be buried by the fake news media in favour of the Jan 6 sanhedrin hoax: FBI fails to secure convictions in the Gretchen Whitmer kidnap case.
[URL]https://amgreatness.com/2022/04/08/two-acquitted-in-whitmer-case-fbi-misconduct-central/[/URL]
"In a huge defeat for the USA Department of Justice, a jury today acquitted two men accused of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in the fall of 2020 and deadlocked on a verdict for two other defendants".
"Defense attorneys had argued—successfully, it would appear—that their clients were entrapped by the FBI; at least a dozen FBI confidential human sources and undercover agents working out of numerous FBI field offices were deeply embedded in the plot."
"Dan Chappel, the lead informant and government's star witness known as "Big Dan," explained how he brought the makeshift group of alleged "militia" members together after he was hired by the FBI in March 2020. Chappel created encrypted chat groups and organized excursions for field training and surveillance of Whitmer's cottage. (he, along with other FBI informants, posed as leaders of two "militia" groups, at least one of which was created by the FBI.).
For his work over a six-month period, Chappel, a truck driver for a USA Postal Service subcontractor, was compensated at least $60,000 by the FBI in cash and gifts such as a new laptop, tires, and a smart watch.
Fox lived at the time in the dilapidated cellar of a Grand Rapids vacuum repair shop with no running water or toilet; Chappel texted Fox at least 1,000 times between June and early October, cultivating a close relationship with the otherwise friendless and sparsely-employed outcast. On at least five occasions, Chappel offered Fox a $5,000 credit card, which Fox repeatedly refused."
There were literally more feds involved than "plotters". They literally paid a guy $60 k to bring a group of homeless doofuses together so the feds could create a fake plot and frame the doofuses, and the fake media and deep state could try and use it against Trump.
Absolute banana republic shit. It won't stand. Time to shut down the FBI and the rest of the Washington swamp and start again.

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2723392]That boychik Chrissie is right. Media has no sway over a cult.
A crooked billionaire syphoning every penny from his brain-dead followers -- that's fitting. Go ahead, take them to the cleaners, Donnie.
Remember Trump University? People paid up to $60,000 to enroll in that fraudulent shit. That was 10-12 years ago.
But these morons who deify this piece of garbage even today when we know so much more about him (it?)???
Priceless![/QUOTE]I hate to do this. Xpartan, I think you are [B]wrong[/B]. Mind you I only object to one word: [B]billionaire[/B]. Trump has a long history of complete failures.
Trump Airlines, Trump Steaks, Trump Casinos, Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage. All failures. It is reported that he cheated his contractors and sub-contractors at every turn. Refusing to pay them unless they made every picayune change he wanted and then some more until they finally gave up and accepted some low-ball offer, so they could pay their employees and stay in business. In addition, the Trump Crime Family hosted charitable events and siphoned off the lion's share of the contributions for hosting the events.
He also cheated or filed bankruptcy on so many properties that US Banks refuse to lend to the guy and the only source of money he gets is from European banks that didn't do their homework. Deutche Bank if you are reading this you know who I'm talking about.
Why did he refuse to ever publish his tax returns? Because he claimed high property values in order to get loans and he reported large loses to not pay any taxes. This is known in the real world as financial fraud. I believe the NY AG is proceeding on a criminal case on these financial frauds.
So. [B]NO[/B] the only people who think he is a billionaire are drunk on the Orange Kool-Aid.

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2723319]So pxxxx continues to attack me for posting a memo from Bill O'Reilly without quotes but in his dishonest fashion he ignores his boy Biden' Plagiarism history while running in past presidential primaries. Maybe he missed the link.
These are just 2 examples of his hypocrisy and lack of integrity. But we always knew what this guy is about: disseminating left wing propaganda and attacking anyone who challenges Party Dogma. I looked at his post history. It is all propaganda and personal attacks. There is not one trip report, not one bar or bordello report, and not one mention of shagging a girl or anything remotely connected to the sport of punting.
Compare his post history to mine and let me ask the sane members of this thread a few questions: whose experience and judgement on where to go to find sexy, young girls to shag would you trust. His or mine? Who would you rather go barhopping with in BKK, Pattaya, Jakarta, Sao Paulo, Rio, Manila, Macau or AC? And lastly, if you wanted to loot, riot and burn down some buildings who would you call up?[/QUOTE]Axel, I have been butting heads with Pauline ever since Covid came out. Pauline said that lockdowns cured Covid and the problem with Covid was Republican noncompliance. He continued the dumb Dem method of comparing states and countries to this day as if government policy was all that mattered with Covid.
Even though Sweden is #20 out of 28 European countries with Covid cases, Sweden killed people with its lax Covid policy. How? Well, you could only compare Sweden to European countries with less Covid. Comparing them to countries with less Covid was not acceptable. I wish I was making that up.
Thing is we know now that all the "experts" were pulling shit out of their ass with their lockdowns, sanitizers, masks ETC, but the worst was the vaccine. Pauline was all in on spewing hate towards the antivaxxer crowd. Oh yeah, red staters were killing blue staters with the refusal to get vaxxed. Biden said this was a pandemic of the unvaccinated last year. Of course, the 4 X vaccinated Biden has Covid now right after that fucker Fauci did.
Pauline does not want to debate Covid now that Fauci and Biden have had Covid. Hmm, I wonder why.
When Covid was going on, I cashed in on it. There were all these women out of work in 3rd world countries and unlike in the USA, they were not getting paid thousands to sit on their ass. I focused on Colombia and then when there was a travel ban, I griped about it. Pauline and the Medellin Dems, which might be the worst Dems there are, accused me of opposing the ban because I wanted cheap pussy over human life. Not kidding. Of course, there was no evidence the bans worked, and all the travel ban did was make Colombia even poorer. So I focused on Mexico, which may have had the most reasonable Covid policy in the world.
I met Dramafree, another Republican, in Monterrey, and we had dinner with our hot dates. So while the Dems were huddled in their basements scared of Covid, we were killing it.
When I mentioned I was using seeking arrangement and doing really well in Colombia with it, the Medellin Dems attacked me, seeking, and the sugar baby model. Pauline was the funniest. Instead of embracing being American, Pauline "dressed Colombian" to try to get his Colombian WGs to give him a lower price. In the mean time, with Covid, I was dating the finest women their were.
You will love this next part, AH. After Pauline spent two years in his basement scared shitless of Covid, he went back to Colombia. One of the cheap women drugged him with scopalamine and he apparently was in his drug induced state for hours. Again, this is a guy who brags about how to get women and how cheap he is. Instead of going for the white collar workers and university students I was, Pauline focused on the WGs in the slums and brags he sees slum women.
And he is so obnoxious that even Pauline's fellow Dems cannot stand him, and one outed him.
So Pauline will do a gang bang. Any time a Republican gets attacked by a Dem, Pauline will pile on. He is not here for learning about women (he "knows all" about that) but trying to make friends because he has none. He will lie his ass off and pull ad hominem attacks and then argue he is king of logic. It is hard to fathom anyone more obnoxious than him.
Thing with the dumb Dems is they are constantly doing the ad hominem attacking the source. If Fox news is off on something, it is fine to attack them but the dumb Dems will just say "Oh, Fox News", "Oh, Tucker Carlson" as if they won their point.
So yeah, I have left sources off too because I am sick of that crap. TC has had some very compelling points about the war in Ukraine, oil and energy, and the border. I think the Dems cannot handle those arguments so they just attack the source.
I have put Pauline on ignore before but now it is just fun to laugh at him once I saw what he was doing. He is the biggest liar here. Even though you have never met him, he will accuse you of never having been to Asia in your life. Just wait. It is coming.

The differences between Trump's, Biden's visits to Israel
[B]The differences between Trump's, Biden's visits to Israel[/B] - Jerusalem Post, July 22,2022.
[URL]https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-712742[/URL]
"Biden's trip to Saudi Arabia similarly had none of the substance, and generated none of the good will, that Trump created five years earlier. The parties could not even agree upon what they had discussed, nor the significance of what had been achieved. And Biden largely came up empty-handed in his effort to increase oil production, a pathetic request given America's ability to increase its own. ".

Such compliant little piggies
[QUOTE=ChrisP;2723374]North Korea stopped missile tests during the Trump administration, and resumed them when Biden was installed.
Russia took over Crimea under Obama, did nothing under Trump, then took half of Ukraine under Biden.
Trump had Afghanistan under control, no major attacks from the Taliban, and was preparing an organized drawdown of troops and the retention of Bagram airbase; Biden oversaw the worst humiliation since Vietnam, with Americans running away in the middle of the night without warning and leaving tens of billions in equipment for the Taliban as the fake Afghan govt collapsed like Biden on his stairs of his plane.
Trump got delinquent NATO members to start paying their agreed-upon dues instead of expecting America to foot the bill and go trillions more into debt as had been the case for years beforehand.
Trump had a hugely successful visit to Saudi Arabia early in his term, repairing some of the damage done by Obama, and ensuring cheap gas and high paying jobs for Americans; Biden has wrecked that, first saying he would make Saudi a pariah, then humiliatingly begging them to produce more oil, which they rejected. Now Saudi is moving toward China and away from its long relationship with the US.
So yes, we do love the way he governs.[/QUOTE]Not only did Trump praise Putin for invading Crimea ("Crimea is better off now") he rewarded him by refusing to enforce the sanctions imposed on Putin for it until the Dems in Congress forced him to grudgingly do so anyway. Since then Trump praised ("How smart is that? Brilliant! Putin for invading Ukraine!

They get elevated to top tier world stage status, praised and rewarded for thwarting democracy, murdering their political enemies and doing whatever is necessary to weaken and destroy Western Democratic Alliance. Oh, without so much as ruffling the feathers of Russian oligarchs or shedding Russan / North Korean / Chinese blood.
He didn't want to embarrass Xi regarding the coronavirus that Trump laid the groundwork for allowing to spread unabated in the first place and thereby threaten that idiotic, American Recession-producing trade war so he lied in perfect sync with Xi until it produced every major economic problem the world has faced ever since. What a diplomat! Such brilliant "governance" and "leadership".
And if they're really cute, they will most definitely get love letters dripping with accolades from the Repub so-called commander-in-chief as a bonus!
Why would Xi, Kim, Putin or any other enemy of America object to the loving care, praise and rewards Trump bestowed on them as long as Trump was doing more to destroy the US economy, mass murder American citizens and, the literal coup de grace on his way out, overthrow American democracy with his very own violent mob of America-haters. Obviously, doing our foreign enemies' work for them.
But the Worse-Then-Neville Chamberlain appeasement (add praise, glorification and rewards to it!) didn't just stop with America's foreign enemies under Trump. He did the same thing with America and American-democracy's domestic enemies!
To White Nationalist Nazis vs the patriots who opposed them: "There are nice people on both sides."

Bill Maher:
"And I just thought, you know, if Trump could just let go of the election (2020), which he can't, he can win this so easy because he can win just on Drag Queen Story Hour. " "Anybody could beat Biden. ".
DAMN STRAIGHT.
Maher then went on to say Gov. Ron DeSantis would be the better candidate. I agree, but DeSantis will not run if Trump runs. As a Florida resident I can confirm that DeSantis has been a great governor. But either way, Trump or DeSantis will be the next President of the USA assuming Biden does not step down from office after the November Democrat defeat and Camel Face becomes the interim President.

When those taking part in the poll said who they would vote for between Harris and the two Republican frontrunners, the vice president also came out on top.
A total of 46 percent of likely voters said that they would vote for Harris, compared to 44 percent who would back Trump in a hypothetical race.

The Soviet Era Show Trial
Another memo from Bill:
"Not many are paying attention, but the reporting on the January 6 committee is as dishonest as the Russian-Collusion fiasco and the blatantly unfair Judge Kavanaugh witch hunt.
The committee's star witness, White House assistant Cassidy Hutchinson, testified under oath that President Trump lost control of himself after the Capitol riot began. Stunning charge.
The problem is her testimony is 100 percent hearsay. Nothing backs it up. The committee could have illuminated Ms. Hutchinson's allegations by subpoenaing the Secret Service agents involved. The committee did not do that and did not explain why not.
But I can tell you why the Secret Service wasn't called. The agents would have contradicted Cassidy Hutchinson, that's why.
And the committee didn't need to do the right and fair thing because the press has already convicted Mr. Trump on everything. Why bother with facts?
This is called corruption. Every American, including those who despise Trump, should understand the dishonesty, and be appalled by it. "

Once again, you are using "post hoc ergo propter hoc" (after this therefore because of this) analysis re: Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2723911]The problem is her testimony is 100 percent hearsay. [/QUOTE]The problem is that Bill O'Reilly is 100% a jack off, a phone sex perv that foolishly indulged in his pitiful activity within his workforce. He obviously doesn't know what to do with a woman in the flesh.
That said, hearsay isn't useless. It's admissible in court under some circumstances and is often part of securing convictions. Plus two secret service agents backed up the meat of Hutchinson's story, that Trump demanded to be taken to the Capital. That shouldn't surprise anyone in the least.
[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2723911]Nothing backs it up. [/QUOTE]What most needs backing up? It's well established that Trump knew what was going on at the Capital but chose to sit in front of the TV for three hours watching Faux News and jacking off like Bill. Anyone who doesn't want to talk about this as well as the shenanighans to try and overturn an election with slates of fake electors is a jack off like Bill and doesn't belong in the USA.
P.S. Why don't you broaden your horizons, read a range of news services rather then the ones that distort, omit, and only tell you what you want to hear?

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2723911]Another memo from Bill:
"Not many are paying attention, but the reporting on the January 6 committee is as dishonest as the Russian-Collusion fiasco and the blatantly unfair Judge Kavanaugh witch hunt.
The committee's star witness, White House assistant Cassidy Hutchinson, testified under oath that President Trump lost control of himself after the Capitol riot began. Stunning charge.
The problem is her testimony is 100 percent hearsay. Nothing backs it up. The committee could have illuminated Ms. Hutchinson's allegations by subpoenaing the Secret Service agents involved. The committee did not do that and did not explain why not.
But I can tell you why the Secret Service wasn't called. The agents would have contradicted Cassidy Hutchinson, that's why.
And the committee didn't need to do the right and fair thing because the press has already convicted Mr. Trump on everything. Why bother with facts?
This is called corruption. Every American, including those who despise Trump, should understand the dishonesty, and be appalled by it. "[/QUOTE]These leftists have become so unhinged by Trump Derangement Syndrome and fake media bias that they have literally lost touch with reality. This dumb **** Hutchinson, who like a typical woman was salty and butthurt because Trump refused to give her a job in Florida so she made up some fake bullshit to try and hurt him, was not in even in the vehicle. All the secret service agents who were in the vehicle flatly contradicted her story. The reason they were not subpoenad is because this Jan 6 show trial / star chamber / sanhedrin has nothing to do with getting to the truth, but rather is like the rest of the fake news media an instrument to attack the heritage American people.
In a just world the agents would have been subpoenad and Hutchinson tried for perjury. No doubt she would have claimed it was "her truth". LOL.
In a similar vein, one of the leftist doofuses on this forum just spewed a long post which claimed, among other lies, that Trump "didn't want to embarrass Xi and China" over covid. The reality is of course that Trump was calling it the "China virus" from very early, and banned flights from China, while the democrats and fake news were running interference for Xi, claiming that Trump was "xenophobic".
The reality was literally the opposite of what the dem douche claimed. And yet he will continue to claim it. We cannot have honest debate, or frankly co-existence, with people such as these who deny factual reality as above.

Yesterday is a hard word for me
There is little wonder why this blathering, bumbling, seriously cognitively impaired loon and his America-hating Repub lackeys only produced the worst economic, national security and foreign policy results of all time (that Joe Biden and the Dems have been historically successful at resolving over the past 18 months) had to resort to demanding Repub state reps commit election fraud and set up "fake electoral college" documents and impostors along with inciting idiot Repub mob violence in order to overturn a free and fair election, overthrow American democracy and steal a re-election for himself:

There is no way the "covfefe, oranges oranges, anominus anominus, Yo!

With their America-hating lemming supporters, they don't need to produce historically posititve, Dem-level results. Not that they have the slightest clue how or interest in producing positive results for America anyway.

Hogwash
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2723795]Biden provoked Putin and caused Ukraine invasion (had Biden said that Ukraine will not be in NATO, there would have been no war). [/QUOTE]You've been corrected on this lie dozens of times yet choose to keep repeating it dozens of times for months. Biden lacks the authority to do that. NATO has an open door policy and anyone is free to apply. That includes Russia. Putin knew his demands would be rejected, which all was a ruse anyway to give him an excuse to invade Ukraine and try to topple Kyiv. He didn't care about NATO anyway as he stated that he didn't mind Finland and Sweden joining. His design has been rebuilding empire as he stated many times in the past. He is 100% the aggressor and wasn't "provoked" by Biden or anyone else.
The love of democracy, something you have no respect for, is what provokes tyrants. Former USSR countries in his region tasted freedom, enjoyed it, and have asked for integration and protection. That's what Putin is scared of as he has nothing to offer but darkness and threats. He certainly doesn't want his own people desiring it, is why he controls the press.
As to Trump, hey, he was Putin's best buddy, undermining democracy with stolen election lies, looking the other way when Putin hacked our government agencies, grifting in Ukraine, jockeying to pull us out of NATO, destroying democratic alliances, sucking up to Vlad praising him to the press in a most pukeworthy way, etc. Naturally he didn't want to distract from all those goodies by invading Ukraine but it was coming.
Now, do as true to form, ignore all but one or two of these points. Pick one sentence out of context and go to town repeating your same lies over again. We are all used to it by now. LOL.

P.S. NATO Enlargement and Article 10
NATO's door remains open to any Euro country. They are free to seek membership. Giving in to a tyrant's demand to exclude one named country perpetually irrespective of any desires or future qualifications is ludicrous, betrays weakness, and most of all, violates the dictates of the treaty. No one president of a country would have the authority to change it. Not to mention that a slimeball like Putin would seize on this and bring further demands. And Ukraine offered a commitment to neutrality in early negotiations if confirmed by popular vote, but this was of course rejected. That's because Russia wants it all, Ukraine's industries, farmlands, and ports.

Each country decides for themselves what percentage of their budgets they spend on defense. NATO has no authority to tell them otherwise. This has been steadily increasing in Canada and Europe from 2014 onward. As to your Youtubes with Trump posturing about Germany and energy, yawns. There was pushback about the crowing for more defense spending in Europe, an old campaign talking point, so Trump goes with the whataboutism and the Russian energy pipelined to Europe which is a complicated historic matter that isn't solved overnight. The wean has begun though and at a substantial rate. NATO nations have never been stronger in their commitments to one another and against tyrants like Putin. Trump tried to weaken it but failed.
If you wish to answer my points, these and the ones I made previously I'll entertain it, but this is all the time I have for feeble whataboutism. He's a traitor that incited a violent insurrection based on lies and continually praised and gave comfort to our enemy Russia. There's of course more but that's the worst of it. Next step is to get him in an orange jumpsuit.

And those of us not of the "cult-faithless" or bamboozled by Agent Orange's scams, ALL KNOW tax evasion when we see it.

The judge and the jury walked out hand in hand
Paulie97 in your vehement defense of the Nancy Pelosi's Jan 6 House Inquisition you omit the key fact in my post that the star witness, White House assistant Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony was 100 percent hearsay. And wait for it, within hours of Ms. Hutchinson's allegations, the Secret Service agents actually involved came forward and said what Ms. Hutchinson testified to under oath did not happen.
Now if this spectacle was really an honest, fair minded inquiry into what actually occurred on Jan 6 and the days leading up to Jan 6, you would think the committee would have subpoenaed the Secret Service agents involved and listened to their sworn firsthand testimony. BUT NOOOOOOOOOO, the committee did not do that and did not explain why the Secret Service agents were not called. But everyone knows why they were not called.
So, we can argue the semantics over what to call this disgrace, this soviet era show trial, this inquisition, but no fair minded American can call this thing an inquiry. That is why most Americans have tuned out and are not watching this disgraceful spectacle. They know the verdict was decided before the 1st witness was called.

You had to bring the discussion down to how it is just for you now as opposed to keeping the discussion at the broader level "is the country better under Burden than Trump", which we all know that it's way worse now.
In Trump's time, I agree we were bombarded with tweets, some pretty mean even for his supporters like me, but good thing was that things were getting done, US and international economy and peace were kept in a steady path. Some of us understand that how a man talks to me (mean tweets) is way less important than what he does for me (keep us safe from getting killed in wars or making sure we aren't getting into huge inflation or recession etc etc blah blah blah). It's the intelligence to figure out what's important for us and what we can ignore. Like I always say, Trump is no way the best possible POTUS, but compared to all other current choices we have (or had in 2020), he's probably the best. If a better candidate comes along for 2024, I would definitely vote for that better candidate, unfortunately Burden was never that candidate and never will.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2724098]You can call him whatever you want, and I can do the same with Bill Clinton, but Clinton was a good president and so was Trump. Carter and GW Bush were much better character wise than either Clinton or Trump but were horrible performance wise.

Carter and Clinton produced results that are still among the top 3-4 best of all time, particularly on the critical issue of USA private sector jobs creation.
GW Bush and Trump produced across-the-board results that are among the absolute worst of all time. On the critical issue of USA jobs creation, perhaps only Repub Herbert Hoover had a worse record than either one.
But at least Hoover didn't also ignore the most blatantly obvious pending terrorist attack intel of all time and then compound that criminally negligent National Security botch by lying us into two counter-productive quagmire wars in the Middle East as GW Bush did.
And Hoover didn't decide to lay the foundation of any potentially deadly Pandemic to emerge and spread unabated, make sure it became one when the first predictable opportunity came along, lie in sync with our stated foreign adversaries to successfully mass murder at least a million Americans and cap off his historically disastrous so-called presidency by leading a violent, cop-killing mob of lemming followers to attempt the overturning of a free and fair election and the overthrowing of American democracy as Trump did.
Therefore, by comparison to GW Bush and Donald J. Trump, Herbert Hoover was a pretty good president. As were Charlie Manson and Jack the Ripper. By comparison to GW Bush and Donald J. Trump, that is.

Oh No
Today the most reputable and reliable poll of polls service shows Repubs with less than a single percent advantage over Dems on their Generic Ballot question.
At only 0. 7%.
[URL]https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/[/URL]
That is a "falling off the cliff" level of decline for Repubs in just a few weeks.
Considering they have two huge historic advantages this time around in that it is the first midterm of a POTUS from the other Party as well as the first midterm after the Dem POTUS and (nominal) majority passed truly historic legislation destined to become revered and virtually untouchable as the basis for what makes America great (Dems are always punished for this in the next midterm due to Repubs launching full force into demonizing the Dems' historically positive accomplishment), this midterm ought to be an easy Red wave for Repubs and a big one.
But their disastrous recent and historic results combined with their astonishing level of anti American, anti Freedom, anti Democracy, BIG Government Authoritarian Dictatorship Love is making it way more difficult for them than it ought to be.
Then again, their hatred for America and democracy has meant they are only busy installing QAnon Repub loons in positions to throw out ballots with votes they don't like all around the country. So I suppose it won't matter how godawful they do in the election.

The disease killing America
Sadly, this is the main problem.

Yep. Gas is going down
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2724616]Today the most reputable and reliable poll of polls service shows Repubs with less than a single percent advantage over Dems on their Generic Ballot question.
At only 0. 7%.
[URL]https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/[/URL]
That is a "falling off the cliff" level of decline for Repubs in just a few weeks.
Considering they have two huge historic advantages this time around in that it is the first midterm of a POTUS from the other Party as well as the first midterm after the Dem POTUS and (nominal) majority passed truly historic legislation destined to become revered and virtually untouchable as the basis for what makes America great (Dems are always punished for this in the next midterm due to Repubs launching full force into demonizing the Dems' historically positive accomplishment), this midterm ought to be an easy Red wave for Repubs and a big one.
But their disastrous recent and historic results combined with their astonishing level of anti American, anti Freedom, anti Democracy, BIG Government Authoritarian Dictatorship Love is making it way more difficult for them than it ought to be.
Then again, their hatred for America and democracy has meant they are only busy installing QAnon Repub loons in positions to throw out ballots with votes they don't like all around the country. So I suppose it won't matter how godawful they do in the election.[/QUOTE]Repubs are thriving when economy is in tatters. No, they won't do shit for economy, but they're great at 'xplaining how Dems are to blame when economy is in tatters.
Expensive gas is good for Repub. Cheap gas is bad for Repubs. Cheap gas distracts people from voting right. As in ultra-right.
I guess, Trump could help. He could beg Russia to do something about gas.
Like, I don't know.
Russia, if you're listening.
I hope you're able to find a way to give us some economic pain.
$6 per gallon would be fantastic.
Can't you keep invading? Why stop at Ukraine? The more the merrier.
There're so many "Stans" in your neighborhood, you know, worth invading. It would be genius!
I think you will probably be rewarded mightily for your kindness.
Let's see if that happens. Chop-chop.

First of all, it has been more than 100 years since the USA economy could have been remotely described accurately as being "in tatters" under Dem stewardship.
Today's USA economy is not "in tatters. " Far from it. It is so strong under Biden and Dem stewardship, even Trump's Pandemic Supply-Chain Destruction Inflation has barely put a dent in consumer spending, not caused so much as a hiccup in Dem Biden's historic jobs creation or caused Dem Biden's record fast decline in the unemployment rate to tick up a mere point.
It is even doubtful that the official arbiter of "recessions", the NBER, will designate this point in time as a "recession" even if the GDP Growth rate contracted a tad last quarter:
[B]Here's how to know if we're in a recession, and it's not what you think.[/B]

[QUOTE]Most people think that back-to-back negative GDP quarters constitute a recession, but thats not the case.
The National Bureau of Economic Research is the official arbiter of recessions, and uses multiple other factors in making its determination.
The NBER would be laughingstocks if they said we had a recession when we were creating 400,000 jobs a month, said Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.[/QUOTE]So whenever anyone alive today ever heard Repubs or their loyal and devoted benefactors and election campaigners in Mainstream Media declaring "The economy is in tatters!" due to Dems being at the helm, they were lying.
Now, to cite when the USA economy was truly "in tatters" under and due to Repubs, one only has to look at the Repub Trump to Dem Biden handoff just 18 months ago.
And the Repub GW Bush handoff to Dem Obama-Biden 12 years prior to that.
And the Repub GHW Bush handoff to Dem Bill Clinton 8 years before that.
And so on.

Hogwash
[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2724308]Paulie97 in your vehement defense of the Nancy Pelosi's Jan 6 House Inquisition you omit the key fact in my post that the star witness, White House assistant Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony was 100 percent hearsay. And wait for it, within hours of Ms. Hutchinson's allegations, the Secret Service agents actually involved came forward and said what Ms. Hutchinson testified to under oath did not happen.
Now if this spectacle was really an honest, fair minded inquiry into what actually occurred on Jan 6 and the days leading up to Jan 6, you would think the committee would have subpoenaed the Secret Service agents involved and listened to their sworn firsthand testimony. BUT NOOOOOOOOOO, the committee did not do that and did not explain why the Secret Service agents were not called. But everyone knows why they were not called.
So, we can argue the semantics over what to call this disgrace, this soviet era show trial, this inquisition, but no fair minded American can call this thing an inquiry. That is why most Americans have tuned out and are not watching this disgraceful spectacle. They know the verdict was decided before the 1st witness was called.
"Judge and jury walk out hand in hand.

The meat of the story stands, that Rump demanded to be taken back to the Capital so he could support the murderous goons he unleashed. Whining about Pelosi doesn't save you from these facts.
Also, and once again, "hearsay" isn't useless. It's essentially the testimony of what another person said, and is used all the time to help secure criminal convictions. It's often admissible in court, and is especially useful when it comes to confessions made to the commission of crimes. And it's also very useful in these hearings which aren't a criminal trial, especially in the case of Hutchinson who was around the inner circle and offers direct testimony of the words and mindset of Rump's right hand man Mark Meadows as she was his assistant.
[URL]https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/secret-service-debunked-hutchinson/[/URL]
The big question here, is why don't you take advantage of some of the opportunities in our country to get an education? That is if you are from the US. Lying every day in a monger forum doesn't get you far. And that way you can learn how to do some research and stop being a stooge of Fox News and the con men of their nightly fiction hours, Hannity and Tucker, and a constantly lying tyrant like Trump and become a useful citizen. I mean we know you can talk, but what good is that if you don't know what the fuck you are talking about? You just look like a fool, like those traitorous goons that tore up the Capital, and that Rump never pardoned. Suckers.

Hannity Caught Lying Again
The sleazebag is constantly lying but this one he harped on and on about on air on the sidelines, playing the victim whining about four well earned WP Pinocchios rather than showing the Jan 6th hearings. No, Trump DID NOT give any order prior to Jan 6th to deploy the military to protect the Capital. That's in spite of Trump's yes man and acting Defense Sec Christopher Miller's claim on the Sean Hannity Show. His contradictory statement under oath before the Jan 6th committee confirms this. Kash Patel is also a liar. So lying on Fox is routine for wingnuts and carries no consequences. Lying under oath however does so that's when we are likely to get the truth, assuming they don't no show, take the 5th, or do the "I don't recall" 1000 times.

Welcome to the 70's part duh.
The numbers just came out this morning: 2nd quarter in a row negative growth GDP.
That makes it 2 quarters in a row that the US economy shrank.
While at the same time the year over year rate of inflation is officially pegged at around 9%. Actually, it is much higher when food and groceries are included in calculation. Pols too that vital component out years ago.
So, what have got? A shrinking economy and rising prices. In other words stagflation! Baby.
Way to go Uncle Joe and radical woke Democrats.
And what do you suppose is their solution to this horrible problem? 1. Propaganda IE change the definition of inflation. That will work. 2. Print more money and raise corporate taxes. 2 of the 3 shit ball ideas that the Dems enacted when Biden came into office that got us into this mess in the first place. Boy oh Boy, this is going to hurt and last a long time.

High speed rail in the US is DOA unless it is between two "fairly close" major cities. I've taken several high-speed trains in Europe but distances there are relatively short. The main draw is, by and large, city-center to city-center travel. And that works if you have "city center" business to attend to but not if you need to visit clients in the suburbs.
Let's face it. The American mentality is just not "set up" for public transportation. Americans want their "freedoms" regardless of whether or not they are really "freedumbs". Americans would rather have a "pay as you go" healthcare system with worse outcomes even if the overall cost of a single-payer system is the same. Who is against it? Yep, you guessed it. The same political party who wanted to kill the ACA when the only plan they had to replace it was the GSAD (Get Sick And Die) plan. What did Donnie the Dumbass say?

CNN loved Trump and still does. They miss him terribly. Anything they can do to put him back in the WH, they will do it.
And for the mid tems; all it takes is for 1-2 Dems to resist or delay voting for a Biden / Dem Leadership legislation proposal and CNN will be right there with the rest of them on "Democrats in disarray".
CNN had no use for Obama after his historic election, while he was successfully recovering us from the Great Repub Recession. They barely cover Biden's accomplishments. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they uttered some variation the words "Biden's poll ratings are tanking" many times more than, "Biden passed a historic bipartisan Infrastructure bill."
And if they did mention it recently it was probably in the context of it contributing to Inflation, which it didn't.
You're a Bothsider. You probably didn't even notice how many decades Mainstream Media have characterized every Repub win as a Repub win and every Dem win as a Repub win and every draw between the two as a Repub win.
According to Mainstream Media, Dems rarely win while Repubs rarely lose. Because they know the electorate will more likely vote for "preceived" winners rather than actual successful legislators.
You thought they were just being Fair and Balanced or bending over backwards to show how not in the tank they are for Liberal Democrats or some nonsense like that, right?

Who is against it? Yep, you guessed it.[/QUOTE]Both main parties have been underinvesting in public transport.
Have you ever been to London? Thats a great example of how you can make rail line network succeed throughout an entire city and nearby suburbs (Home Counties). But generally, yes, high speed rail works best between city hubs, the bus networks take arrivals to locations within each hub (cheaper bcos they don't require heavy investment in rail infrastructure). But trams used to be effective too.
But yeah, it is an attitude. And an attitude that was born during low fuel costs.

Biden: 'I Don't Know If We're In A Recession, I'm Not A Biologist'
Washington, DC — America's GDP has fallen over the last two quarters, stoking fears of a possible recession due to the fact that America is now in a recession. When asked whether the USA Is now in a recession, Biden answered that he wasn't qualified to answer, as he doesn't have a biology degree.
"I don't know if we're in a recession, I'm not a biologist," said Biden to the bronze bust of Hugo Chávez in his office. "Leave that stuff to the experts, Jack! If you ask me, the economy should lose some weight, anyway. Too fat. We deserve this for being racist anyway. Come on, man!
The White House quickly clarified Biden's statement, saying the USA Is not in a terrible recession because the word "recession" has been redefined, as has the word "terrible. ".
"It should be noted that the word 'recession' is being used by extreme far-alt-right-right extreme extremists," said gay black Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to reporters. "At best, the word 'recession' is a racist dog whistle. At worst, it's a cruel slur against a historically marginalized economy. We condemn anyone who would use this racist language. ".
At publishing time, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson couldn't confirm whether America is in a recession either, as she is also not a biologist. . . .

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2725169]Once again you fail to get the point of Xpartan's message.[/QUOTE]No, I got it, and it was stupid. You dumb Dems put politics above the well being of people. Republicans do not do that. We pay for gasoline and want lower gasoline prices and want the problem of high prices solved. You all fuck up and claim we are happy with your fuckups.
That is the most fucking pathetic excuse I have heard. That ranks up there with Republicans cheering on deaths by Putin killing people in Ukraine and letting people die by not locking down with Covid.
We do not have to cheer on high gasoline prices; we just wait to see them go up because of your douche policies.
"We are Democrats. We care about people. We care about the planet. I think global warming is the biggest threat to mankind there is. If you do not believe that, you do not care about mankind. ".
Here someone put together a study of Spain and there were 6 X more death from freezing than overheating.

And you dumb Dems want "clean" solar power.
[URL]https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelshellenberger/2021/06/21/why-everything-they-said-about-solar---including-that-its-clean-and-cheap---was-wrong/?sh=12c2e1a55fe5[/URL]
Three years ago I published a column at Forbes arguing that solar panels weren't clean but in fact produced 300 times more toxic waste than high-level nuclear waste. But in contrast to nuclear waste, which is safely stored and never hurts anyone, solar panel waste risks exposing poor trash-pickers in sub-Saharan Africa.
And you want Covid lockdowns to save lives.
And here we go with lockdowns: [URL]https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/08/new-zealand-children-falling-ill-in-high-numbers-due-to-covid-immunity-debt[/URL].
[URL]https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/08/new-zealand-children-falling-ill-in-high-numbers-due-to-covid-immunity-debt[/URL]
Nine people across the country have died after becoming infected with RSV this winter. Including six in Auckland's central suburbs.
ESR public health physician Dr Sarah Jefferies said the prevalence of RSV was likely the result of lower population immunity because of New Zealand's Covid-19 isolation last year and the increase in movement since then.
"This positive collateral effect in the short term is welcome, as it prevents additional overload of the healthcare system But in the long term, it can create problems of its own: if bacterial and viral infections aren't circulating among children, they don't develop immunity, which leads to larger outbreaks down the line. ".
So if you are a Dem, you do not accept high gasoline prices are due to your boneheaded policies but deflect that Republicans who have to pay for gasoline too love high gas prices. You are for war in Ukraine and all the deaths there. You are for turning Africa into a toxic trash heap. You are for people freezing to death, and you are for preventing people from developing natural immunity and allowing people including children to die.
The slogan of the Democrat should be: we kill way more people than Republicans but we pretend to care more.
Even the Dems pets ambassador to Ukraine admitted that if Trump were president Putin would not have invaded Ukraine, and the chances of the horrific Afghanistan withdrawal likely would have been far less. And even with all those deaths PVM, you still would have voted Biden right?
And your response to your votes that literally has caused thousands and thousands of deaths is Republicans are happy with those deaths? Seriously? WTF is wrong with you people? Mean tweets are so much worse than thousands of deaths?

Reagan and Trump chose wisely
[QUOTE=Gino02;2725193]This dude is saying "CNN is pro Republican campaigning Mainstream Media source"! WTF is he smoking? No wonder he still supports Burden. Ok fellas, no more debates needed, he just established that he's a nutcase himself like Burden.[/QUOTE]Reagan and Trump.
The two most media-savvy politicians of all time, professionals, both ran for president, both were among the laziest in terms of actually doing something for their pay and, on point here, both switched from Dem to Repub before they dared enter the real political arena.
They knew. Better than anyone.
They knew that, had they been Dems, Mainstream Media would blame them for the crap results the outgoing Repubs left behind and dumped in their lap, demand to know when they are going to clean up this colossal mess quickly and easily, harp on and criticize their every effort, downplay and fill with doubt every historically successful accomplishnent, never give them clear and unqualified credit dwell obsessively on the slightest imperfection.
But as Repubs? LOL. They could ride ponies, play golf, coast on the positive trajectories they always inherit from the outgoing Dem, fail all over the place, produce skyrocketing unemployment rates, wipe out millions of jobs, preside over deep Bear Market declines, pass almost nothing of any real value to America while ballooning the deficit in exchange for all their nothingness and gross under performance vs virtually any Dem and, my oh my, Mainstream Media will still be right there at election time to remind its viewers and readers what grinning "winners" the Repubs are compared to Dems and, oh, bear in mind most people think Repubs are better at handling the economy than Dems. LOL.
That has been going on and well understood by any media watcher for decades.
It is astonishing that you, Paulie and a few others miss something so obvious and played out over and over again.
Lazy, Do Nothing ambitious wannabe pols certainly haven't missed it. That's why they partner up with the Republican Party and not the Democratic Party.

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2725172]The numbers just came out this morning: 2nd quarter in a row negative growth GDP.
That makes it 2 quarters in a row that the US economy shrank.
While at the same time the year over year rate of inflation is officially pegged at around 9%. Actually, it is much higher when food and groceries are included in calculation. Pols too that vital component out years ago.
So, what have got? A shrinking economy and rising prices. In other words stagflation! Baby.
Way to go Uncle Joe and radical woke Democrats.
And what do you suppose is their solution to this horrible problem? 1. Propaganda IE change the definition of inflation. That will work. 2. Print more money and raise corporate taxes. 2 of the 3 shit ball ideas that the Dems enacted when Biden came into office that got us into this mess in the first place.

Oh no no no
The demonstrably Repub / winger-leaning RealClearPolitics poll of polls on the Generic Ballot question now shows Repubs' "advantage" over Dems dropping to a mere 1. 3 percentage point (s):
[URL]https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/2022-generic-congressional-vote-7361.html[/URL]
Quick, RCP! Jam a few more Repub / winger Rasmussen and Trafalgar polls in there to save the day!
Meanwhile, the more reputable and reliable FiveThirtyEight Polling Service site has Repubs' adavantage falling to 0. 2 percentage point (s):
[URL]https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/[/URL]
If this trend continues as the electorate finds the relief and luxury of looking away from Trump's Pandemic Global Supply-Chain Destruction Inflation, to instead take a closer look at the personal freedoms and rights Repubs are busy overturning, their non position on gun safety, their flip-flop on voting in favor of competing with China regarding the chip industry, creating USA jobs, reducing inflation and our reliance on supplies from our enemies, those two historic climate change, inflation reduction, voting rights protection, life-improving pieces of legislation on board right now for a 50+1 vote in the Senate and passage in the House while "Repubs in Disarray!" sat there with their thumbs up each others' butt utterly incapable and unwilling to produce anything close to them for the benefit of the vast majority of Americans ever.
So I'm guessing there is room for some upside for the Dems on this question.
Not to mention the way Dems are showing how much Repubs hate our military veterans.

One of TrumpShit's key co-conspirators is staying in power to assist the coverup
Here is what WikiPedia has to say about James Murray:
"In 2014, Murray became the Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Secret Service's Washington, the. See. Field Office. He was promoted to the position and continued to lead the field office until 2016. From 2016 to 2018, he served as Deputy Assistant Director of Protective Operations, during which he led combined agency efforts for the presidential campaigns ahead of the 2016 USA Presidential election, the presidential transition, and the inauguration of President Donald Trump on January 20,2017. He returned to the James J. Rowley Training Center as the Special Agent in Charge.
In April 2018, Murray became the Assistant Director of the Office of Protective Operations and was responsible for the planning, coordination, and administration of the agency's global protective mission. On April 8, 2019, President Donald Trump removed Randolph Alles as Director of the USA Secret Service and named Murray as his replacement. He took office on May 1, 2019.
On July 7, 2022, Murray announced his retirement as Secret Service Director, to take effect July 30,2022. Murray will take the role of Chief Security Officer at Snap Inc. , parent company of Snapchat, on August 1, 2022.
Missing records investigation.
On July 14,2022, it was reported that "Members of the USA Secret Service erased text messages from January 5th and 6th, 2021, shortly after the Department of Homeland Security inspector general requested them as part of an investigation into the agency's response to the 2021 United States Capitol attack, according to a letter written by the inspector general to congressional leaders (.)". On July 20,2022, Gladys Ayala, the Inspector General (IG} of the Department of Homeland Security notified the Secret Service that her office was investigating the disappearance of text messages and emails regarding the siege of the USA Capitol on January 6, 2021, characterizing their disappearance as an "ongoing criminal investigation. " She directed the Secret Service to cease any internal investigations into the matter of failure of the agency to preserve the missing records. ".

The record of results for Repub stewardship vs Dem stewardship (well, vs anything really) was already abysmal pre Reagan. During and after Reagan it has been spectacularly horrific.
No way should a Repub have come within 30 percentage points of winning an election since Reagan's first term as potus.
Yet, they have.
Mainstream Media need a close horse race contest every time. It does not want a foregone conclusion of a Dem blowout win every 2-4 years.
Consequently, MSM must elevate and praise Repub legislative and stewardship nothingness and failures and denigrate and slam Dem legislative and stewardship successes.
Otherwise known as "helping Repubs win elections. ".
Oh, I don't mean CNN and other MSM sources ignore all those Repub failures and Dem successes or lie about them all the time like FUX News does. Particularly during non election years when it really doesn't matter or effect them financially in the furture. After all, they are real news sources.
I am talking the Repub congratulating, Dem slamming spin MSM engages in during election time when it matters.
The intention is to see that these election contests are decided on a knife's edge, how exciting, when all data, historical results and logic dictates there is no way it should be so. And, guess what, sometimes the knife's edge cuts juuust enough the wrong way for America and a Repub squeaks out a win despite losing the vote by 500,000 to 3,000,000 votes against him.
Oh well. Too bad. But MSM got what they wanted and worked so hard for; an exciting horse race right down to the wire. Or was it a knife fight? Whatever.
In October 2020, MSM pundits were actually providing free Trump campaign ads by wondering aloud why was Trump talking about this "rigged election" nonsense instead of, you know, "touting his economy? Because, hey, most Americans think Repubs are better than Dems at handling the economy. ".
LOL. Tout what economy? The millions upon millions of jobs Trump's economic decisions and stewardship wiped out? The collapse of global supply-chains due to his methods and madness more than any other world leader?
But, gee, to hear MSM's spin on it you'd think Trump had produced some terrific economic results worth touting! LOL.
Again, otherwise known as, "helping Trump win an election. ".
Come on, guys. This decades long election year pattern for MSM spin is not so subtle and nuanced that anyone capable of booting up a computer and typing out the occasional coherent sentence would miss it.

We all know that a RethugliKKKant's idea of "freedom" is the ability to [B]tell others[/B] what they can read, what they can think, who they can love and what they can do with their bodies. Nothing else matters to you. Especially democracy because what RethugliKKKants want is an autocracy, preferably headed by Agent Orange or one of his ilk.

Army Unsure Why Their New Slogan 'USA Is Racist, You Should Die For It' Isn't Working
From reading PVMonger and his buddies, they sound like Woke Army Recruiters! Army Unsure Why Their New Slogan 'America Is Racist, You Should Die For It' Isn't Getting Traction. . .
FORT FARRAKHAN CA — A USA Army spokesperson admitted concern today after the recent drop in recruitment numbers, despite the unveiling of the new "America Is Racist, You Should Die For It" slogan.
Colonel Rip Skirtsteak said the Army will continue its push for diversity in hopes of drawing more new recruits. "It's just really hard to find recruits who hate this country as they should but are also willing to put their lives on the line to protect it," Skirtsteak said as he adjusted his rainbow flag lapel pin. "We may have to switch to Plan be, which is to offer free gender reassignment surgery for everyone who signs up. ".
The USA Army, once regarded as the premiere fighting force in the world except for the far superior Marine Corps, has instead diverted its efforts to getting rid of people who love America while promoting more inclusivity. "I really just wanted to join the military to serve my country, provide a bright future for my family, and stand up for what I believe is right," a young cadet said as he walked away from his local recruitment center after being asked by the recruitment officer if he regretted his white middle-class upbringing.
At press time, the Army was in deep discussions to create more publicity and attract potential recruits. "If our new rainbow camouflage uniforms don't get people in line to sign up, then maybe our planned 'Drag Queen Boot Camp' will do the trick," Colonel Skirtsteak said as he closed his press conference and strutted in his red high heels back to his office. . . .

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2725718]I am talking the Repub congratulating, Dem slamming spin MSM engages in during election time when it matters....The intention is to see that these election contests are decided on a knife's edge, how exciting, when all data, historical results and logic dictates there is no way it should be so.[/QUOTE]Methinks you need to lay off the booze in retirement. This is as laughable and unsubstantiated as any of the right wingnut conspiracy theories.

It's their job to present the sides of both campaigns during an election year and for the most part do a good job at it.
But this is as disingenuous as your false claim that Democrats haven't "presided" over any recessions or otherwise economic downturns while you cherry pick the data, picking what suits your agenda while ignoring that which doesn't. Yet the most hilarious hopefully booze induced claim in the unbridled hyper-partisan anti-Republican agenda was to reach way back and blame Lincoln for the Civil War. Lolol That's when he had no other choice besides allowing the nation to split. But the point is moot anyway as the roles have reversed in that the Republicans were the progressive party back them.
But anyway type me out another filibuster. You go on and on and on and people on both sides of the isle grow tired of reading and unraveling your protracted tripe. That's the aim. Bore them with bluster. LOL.

He will run only if he knows he will "win" without having to compete
[QUOTE=JacobDavid;2725636]I think Trump will win.[/QUOTE]Trump will run again only if he is confident that all of the election-denying QAnon Repub loons have been put in place at the state and local level to throw out enough ballots with likely Dem votes and only retain ballots with likely Repub votes in order to ensure his name will be called out as the "winner" on that year's January 6 no matter how many millions more votes and dozens more Electoral College awards his opponent actually earned.
And, apparently like every other Repub nominee from now on, he won't even risk getting the snot beat out of him by his Dem opponent again in real time in a live, televised Presidential debate because the Repub Party seems to have thrown in the towel and given up expecting anyone in their party to know anything about any important issue well enough to compete.

I never said Dems never presided over a recession or otherwise economic downturn.
The term I use is "Great Recession" or "Great Repub Recession. " There has not been a Great Recession started or presided over by a Dem POTUS in at least 100 years. Only Repubs.
The time frame is 100 years, not "ever" and I have explained why multiple times.
When Mainstream Media engages in your brand of tortured Bothsiderism, repeating any nonsense notion that Republicans are no worse (or better) at handling the economy than Dems, often right in the middle of a Great Repub Recession or a Great Dem Recovery, without bothering to mention Repub potuses have produced and presided over every Great Recession and Jobs Destruction of the past 100 years and none of the Great Recoveries, Jobs Creation and Expansions while Dems have produced and presided over every Great Recovery, Jobs Creation and Expansion of the past 100 years and none of the Great Recessions and Jobs Destruction, particularly during an election year, that is by any definition "helping Repubs win elections. ".
It is only marinally more blatant pro Repub Bothsiderism (or False Equivalency claim) than your repeated suggestion that a relatively insignificant and brief mini recession under Truman post WWII and the utra brief mini one purposely induced under Carter in order to cool down an overheated economy that was creating too many jobs, neither of which saw a spike in the Unemployment Rate higher than 7. 8% and for a single month, is no different than the massive downturns seen under Hoover, Reagan, Bush and Trump, where millions of jobs were wiped out and unemployment rates skyrocketed into double digits, often for many months.
Or is it "cherry picking" and oh so unfair to Repubs' chances of winning elections on the always critical issue of The Economy in this election year?
Apparently you and MSM think so.

Why set the bar so low?
Reading thru these comments, watching htem go backwards and forwards, round and round in circles, always trading in insults and making no progress. It makes me wonder why both sides set their bar so low?
It; s like listening to 2 sets of partisan sports fans arguing about their sports team - "you're so shlt its unbelievable", "you couldn't score in a brothel". The fans are so partisan and biased and so fixated in each other that neither set of supporters notices that both teams get relegated for finishing last and second last in the league! That's really it. Neither of you accept your own parties faults and just want to attack and blame the other, when the reality is that these 2 latest versions of the parties are possibly the worst representations of both parties in a long, long time, if not ever!
Furthermore, you both live under the same shared delusion. You are both deluded by what you think the Dem Party is. The Red side accuse it of being left wing, when the truth is it is a corporate elitist party, same as the Reps. And the Blue side wish it were left wing and continue to live under that delusion, in the vain hope that it is the party fo change, when the truth is it is a corrupt corporate elitist party that supports its sponsoors that buy its policy makers.

What is pathetic is that guys like you cannot acknowledge the FACT that Nancy's January 6 committee is dishonest and totally discredited.
The committee's star witness, White House assistant Cassidy Hutchinson, testified under oath that President Trump lost control of himself after the Capitol riot began. This is a stunning charge. Too bad it is not true.
"The problem is her testimony is 100 percent hearsay. Nothing backs it up. The committee could have illuminated Ms. Hutchinson's allegations by subpoenaing the Secret Service agents involved. The committee did not do that and did not explain why not.
But I can tell you why the Secret Service wasn't called. The agents would have contradicted Cassidy Hutchinson, that's why. ".
So here is the lack of integrity on the part of the committee: They knew Hutchinson testimony was third hand and could not be substantiated but they brought her forth anyway with the sole purpose to smear Trump. They knew that the leftwing media would run with the story and not question it for at least one new cycle. The key relevant point is that the committee refused to call the 2 FBI witnesses who had firsthand knowledge of what really happened. You do understand what firsthand means?
This is undeniable proof that the purpose of the committee was: 1. Smear Trump one more time and to hopefully prevent him from running for President, 2. To take the spotlight off the Biden administration's colossal economic failures before the November election, and 3. To throw some more red meat at party loyalists like yourself.
So, this public flogging has become a sanity test. I understand that you hate Trump. Fine, that is your right. But is your hatred clouding your judgement. To refuse to acknowledge the truth of what I have just described is irrational. There are no 2 sides to this. Just imagine if the situation was reversed and it was Republicans running a sham Soviet style public inquiry on Joe Biden with the outcome already preestablished before the first witness testifies. And further imagine that there were key 1st hand witnesses that were not called to testify under oath because their testimony would contradict the partisan hearsay testimony against Biden. You would be irate. Thus, the committee is totally discredited, and you would realize this fact if you were rational.

-tweets that tell Latin Americans they are rapists, job stealing, taco bowl immigrants.

-tweets that incite an attempted insurrection / coup.
-tweets that lie about rigged elections and place election workers lives in harms way.
-mad, racist tweets that -embraces and endorses violence of one group over another.
-mad, racist tweets that endorses white supremacy factions (ie. Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Biker Gangs, KKK).
-mad, racist tweets that and other right-wing militias and extremist groups.
-The now infamous tweet ordering followers to come to the. See. On January 6. "Will be huge!" he declared. (knowing full well his "cult faithless" were weaponized and ready to KILL Mike Pense, Nancy Pelosi and others).
Need I go on? Why else are there literally reams of websites / pages on the internet and tweeter verse, that are littered with his racist, bigoted lies, delusional rants, buffoonery and gaffes.

Biden ran on shutting down the virus not the country and more people died under him than Trump. Then you had the experts like Fauci and Biden himself mouthing off about the pandemic of the unvaxxed and both were vaxxed x 4 and got Covid.
You have not one shred of objective proof that Trump being president had anything to do with Covid deaths. You dumb Dems just find a narrative, any narrative, to blame Trump for Covid and go with it.
Every single intervention you have criticized him for (masks, quarantines, travel bans, lockdowns, and finally vaccines) has not just been an utter failure but often harmful to the public. The latest narration debacle is some team of doctors he dissolved in 2018 could have stopped the pandemic, and the only reason you have gone for that is everything else has failed.
I do not know anyone who took the injecting bleach comment seriously. I thought it was a joke, and everyone in the media called it stupid at the time. But no one thought Biden saying "if you get vaccinated, you will not get Covid" was a joke. Yet for some reason, you dumb Dems take a stupid comment / joke as one of great importance, and give Biden being dead wrong a pass. The objective people here know that is because you dumb Dems are a bunch of lying hypocrites.
No one is taking you seriously now Spidy. You rank up there with Eih telling us how great the USA is doing from Thailand and what a splendid president Jimmy Carter was. I will read your posts like I read his, for comic relief.

I will post a few excerpts from a solid article written by real lawyers that flushes your "hearsay" theory down the toilet. But first this.
If I'm subpoenaed by a congressional committee, I don't have a luxury to choose what to say. If Axel Heyst told me that Bob had broken his arm, it's my duty -- because I'm testifying UNDER OATH -- to inform the Congress that Axel Heyst has told me about Bob's broken arm.
That's not a hearsay / rumor about Bob. I have no way to determine whether that knucklehead Bob has really broken his arm. My duty is to simply tell the truth about the conversation with Axel Heyst and inform the Congress that Axel Heyst has provided me with the info about Bob who managed to brake his fucking arm somehow.
The Congress then has an option to issue a subpoena for Axel Heyst to confirm or deny the story about things he told me about Bob's broken arm, but there is a pickle: Axel Heyst has been claiming some phony executive privilege thus refusing to fucking testify about that fucking arm, that fucking conversation, that fucking Bob, and fucking everything.
It seems to me that Axel Heyst believes that as long as he (and a bunch of his cultist friends) are refusing to testify, he can stick to that ridiculous "hearsay" narrative. Then he and his cultist friends can go ahead and claim that a career government employee would happily lie through her teeth under oath and put herself in a real legal jeopardy.
For fucking what?
This "hearsay" theory is as laughable as any other "defense" you fellas are so desperately trying to re-invent to protect your cult leader. RE-invent because there is nothing new about it. All this nonsense has been raised many times during these 60+ Trump lawsuits thrown out all over the country. This POS "hearsay" saga will meet the same end.

What hearsay really is and isn't
Enough about this bullshit already. Here are the excerpts from a great article on the subject matter. Emphasis mine. Full text at the link below.
Law and Crime.
[URL]https://lawandcrime.com/jan-6-committee/house-judiciary-gop-claimed-mark-meadows-aides-blockbuster-testimony-was-literally-all-hearsay-evidence-the-truth-is-more-complicated[/URL]
[QUOTE]As the top aide for former President Donald Trumps ex-chief of staff delivered a blow-by-blow account Tuesday of her version of conversations with others in the then-presidents inner circle in the lead-up to Jan. 6, 2021, the official Twitter account for Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee launched a partially specious counterattack.
Its literally all hearsay evidence, tweeted @JudiciaryGOP, a committee whose Republican members are led by Trump loyalist Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio. What a joke.
[b]Jordan refused earlier this year to cooperate with the Jan. 6 Committee[/b], and the House Judiciary Republicans whom he leads largely misstated and oversimplified the Federal Rules of Evidence the rules with which the lawmakers overseeing the courts should be familiar.
[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]The first issue with the GOPs tweet is its wholesale approach to the testimony: its literally all hearsay. Thats not entirely accurate. While some of the testimony almost surely would be considered hearsay in a court of law, some of it would not, and the distinctions are far more complicated than the all-or-nothing assertion made by the GOPs tweet.
[b]The second issue with the tweet is that Cassidy Hutchinson wasnt testifying in a court of law. Therefore, the rules of evidence do not apply. Evidence rules apply to criminal and civil lawsuits tried before a judge and sometimes a jury. They do not apply to congressional hearings, which are fact-finding missions at their core. So, the hearsay assertion as applied to the Committee hearings is ultimately irrelevant. [/b]
[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE] In a court of law, some of Hutchinsons most stunning (and reportedly to-be-disputed) testimony might be considered excludable hearsay. Her testimony about Trump allegedly trying to grab the steering wheel of the armored vehicle... recounted events relayed to her by then-Deputy Chief of Staff Tony Ornato...
Im the fing president, Trump reportedly yelled while in the car. Take me up to the Capitol now!
Hutchinson said that, according to Ornato, Trump then reached up toward the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel.
Engel, then the head of Trumps security detail, then allegedly grabbed Trumps hand and told him to take his hand off the wheel. Trump then allegedly turned on Engel himself, using his free hand to lunge toward the agent, Hutchinson said.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]This line of testimony could potentially be considered inadmissible hearsay, [b]if Hutchinson was testifying at trial...[/b]
However, as Harwin ([b]a former federal prosecutor[/b]) explained, [b]if Ornato himself was being charged with a crime or was a party to a lawsuit, his statement might not be considered hearsay at all, and instead would be deemed an admission of a party-opponent (and, therefore admissible).[/b]
But Hutchinson could testify about other things she saw and observed.
[b]Just because you see something and you testify about your own personal observation, thats not necessarily hearsay[/b], Harwin said. [/QUOTE]

This "hearsay" theory is as laughable as any other "defense" you fellas are so desperately trying to re-invent to protect your cult leader. RE-invent because there is nothing new about it. All this nonsense has been raised many times during these 60+ Trump lawsuits thrown out all over the country. This POS "hearsay" saga will meet the same end.[/QUOTE]You are absolutely correct. I would say it slightly differently but it all comes to the same place.
AxelHeyst has been watching too many episodes of Law & Order. Hearsay may not be accepted in a trial. But absolutely it is acceptable in a Congressional Hearing. What Axel didn't know is that the Congressional Hearing is not a trial. They are functioning like a Grand Jury and listening to evidence. Hearsay may lead to witnesses with direct involvement or knowledge of the events. So while "hearsay evidence" may not be used at a future trial, the Congressional Committee is absolutely entitled to listen to it and issue subpoenas to others who may have direct knowledge.
If charges are referred and a trial occurs later that "hearsay" may or may not be useable. Generally not, however there are exceptions.
Score:
Xpartan - 1 for a far better understanding.
AxelHeyst - 0 not understanding the difference between a trial and Congressional hearings.

A mini recession, purposely induced for a good economic 'problem' to have? Or none?
Or, as Repubs would say, "The Worstest Mostest Terriblest Great Recession of all time"! LOL.

My god. The charted and cited GDP Growth and Jobs Creation results and trends after Trump took office and passed his $2. 5 Trillion failed economic "stimulus" bill vs what Biden has accomplished in just 18 months were truly pathetic. Biden has done a better job of recovering us from the Trump presidency disaster than even I thought.
Biden has created a MILLION more jobs in just the first 6 months of 2022 than in the ENTIRETY of Trump's "best" pre Trump's Pandemic year of 2019!
After which Trump's godawful economic decisions since at least 2018 wiped out 10+ MILLION jobs!
Still, typically pro Repub Mainstream Media (CNN included, I am sure) kept telling its viewers all through the 2020 presidential election campaign that Trump should spend more time talking up his good economy. LOL. Seriously.
You know, the critical election factor that many people gullible enough to believe MSM's self-serving spin on it think is better handled by Repubs than by Dems, don't you know.

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2726336]And once again, pathetic!
I will post a few excerpts from a solid article written by real lawyers that flushes your "hearsay" theory down the toilet. But first this.
If I'm subpoenaed by a congressional committee, I don't have a luxury to choose what to say. If Axel Heyst told me that Bob had broken his arm, it's my duty -- because I'm testifying UNDER OATH -- to inform the Congress that Axel Heyst has told me about Bob's broken arm.
That's not a hearsay / rumor about Bob. I have no way to determine whether that knucklehead Bob has really broken his arm. My duty is to simply tell the truth about the conversation with Axel Heyst and inform the Congress that Axel Heyst has provided me with the info about Bob who managed to brake his fucking arm somehow.
The Congress then has an option to issue a subpoena for Axel Heyst to confirm or deny the story about things he told me about Bob's broken arm, but there is a pickle: Axel Heyst has been claiming some phony executive privilege thus refusing to fucking testify about that fucking arm, that fucking conversation, that fucking Bob, and fucking everything.[/QUOTE]Imagine being in a meeting with two other people, AxeH and Elvis.
AxeH says "Elvis just told me that the President of the company punched out his aide while on the way to the airport". (Elvis was in the car with the President of the company and saw the incident).
If the story was false, (ie. Elvis never said what AxeH related) would Elvis just sit there quietly and not say a word? Not on your life. He would, [B]right then and there[/B] refute what AxeH said. Because that's what people do. If somebody flat out lies [B]in your presence[/B] about something you said, you call bullshit immediately.

Xpartan, in order to defend Pelosi's disgraceful congressional committee proceedings, you are not only misrepresenting what I posted, you are dancing around what actually occurred in the house of Representatives. Why won't you address the relevant issue? Why were the two eyewitnesses to whatever actually occurred in the limo not called to testify under oath? Your silence about the Secret Service agent's firsthand information being ignored by the committee and your foolish attempt to dance around the issue confirms your absolute political bias and concedes the point that the House committee is not interested in finding the truth about what actually occurred on Jan 6. Shame on you and shame on your party.
Unfortunately, from your point of view these hearings failed. Nobody tuned in to watch and the hearings failed to distract the American people from the colossal failures and outrageous behavior of the Biden administration. Namely the economy "stupid", the border chaos, the violence in the streets of all Democratic party controlled cities, and the communist critical race theory and trany indoctrination being forced on our school children. So, November is fast approaching. I can't wait.

A good read
The following is an excerpt from the following article. I have chosen not to include some parts because they relate to the "local politics" of the area from where the person who wrote the article lives. However, the article makes some excellent points. [URL]https://news.yahoo.com/ray-buursma-call-trump-supporters-041513238.html[/URL].
Yes, Trump committed treason.
The Jan. 6 hearings are completed (maybe). Anyone with a smattering of gray matter between the ears recognizes Donald Trump did the following:
1. Rejected the results of a legitimate election.
2. Made illegal, immoral and unethical attempts to maintain his presidency.
3. Gathered supporters for a rally in Washington, the. See. , on Jan. 6, 2021.
4. Encouraged those supporters to preempt the proceedings which would announce the next president.
5. Took no sincere action for three hours to end an attempted insurrection at the Capitol, but instead attempted to contact senators so they would halt constitutional proceedings.
6. Chose to sacrifice the well being and even the life of Vice President Pence, if necessary, so Pence would not declare Biden to be America's next president.
None of this is new, and we need not rehash specifics of Trump's misbehavior. His offenses have been presented over and over, culminating with the last bipartisan Congressional hearing less than two weeks ago.
What of those who still support Trump?
Today we address not Trump, but those who still back him. Let's start by defining two terms.
Treason is attempting to overthrow a nation's government.
A traitor is a person who commits treason.
Based on these definitions and his actions above, Trump is clearly a traitor, but what of the tens of millions who still condone him? What do we call those who committed no overt treasonous act but still stand behind the orchestrator of Jan. 6?
Well, what do we call one who condones a wife beater, a child molester, or a thief? He is not guilty of a crime, but is he an enabler? A facilitator? A booster? An ally? He certainly is reprehensible, but for now, let's call him a "supporter."
Trump supporters come in two types. Some blatantly and overtly endorse the usurper. They still wear MAGA hats, fly Trump flags and display his yard signs and bumper stickers.
Others are closet supporters. They side with Trump but seldom announce their backing, for doing so would appear morally awkward. They are like KKK supporters who do not don pointy white hoods, but still urge their buddies to "Have fun at the cross burning and lynching!" When asked to justify their approval for Trump, most say, "I don't like Trump, but I like his policies."
"Liking policies" might cover a few sins, but "liking policies" can never, ever justify an attempter insurrection or coup, and Trump did nothing less. Atonement is impossible without repentance, and Trump, clearly, is unrepentant. There is no way around this. Remaining a Trump supporter makes one vile to America, vile to the Constitution, and vile to American values.
Jesus, in Matthew 5: 27-28, stated he who lusts after a woman has already committed adultery in his heart. That being so, why should those who condone the traitorous leader of an insurrection not be called traitors?
The author of the article goes on to ask a few questions of a particular local politician. Maybe we ought to ask the same questions of the RethugliKKKans who post here:
First, do you dispute Trump took the six actions listed above? If no, please explain.
Second, do you consider those actions treasonous? If no, please explain.
Third, do you still support Trump? If so, please explain.

PV Acknowledges A. H. 's Critical Point
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2726814]Imagine being in a meeting with two other people, AxeH and Elvis.
AxeH says "Elvis just told me that the President of the company punched out his aide while on the way to the airport". (Elvis was in the car with the President of the company and saw the incident).
If the story was false, (ie. Elvis never said what AxeH related) would Elvis just sit there quietly and not say a word? Not on your life. He would, [B]right then and there[/B] refute what AxeH said. Because that's what people do. If somebody flat out lies [B]in your presence[/B] about something you said, you call bullshit immediately. [/QUOTE]This post is beautiful! I think I will print it & frame it.
So, PV Acknowledges my critical point that the reason the Secret Service were not asked to testify in front of Nancy's inquisition is that their firsthand testimony would have been exculpatory because their testimony would have completely contradicted the third hand testimony of the woman. 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.

With Russiagate, with the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and how it was covered, and with the Brett Kavanaugh hearing, you dumb Dems lost all credibility. I did not even like Kavanaugh that much. There are like five Catholics on SCOTUS already, and he is another blue blood type whose views on the 4th amendment may be at odds with mine but what you dumb Dems did not get is that after that flimsy bullshit feminist hit job on him, a repeat of Clarence Thomas, he had my support.
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?

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.

Nobody tuned in to watch and the hearings failed to distract the American people from the colossal failures and outrageous behavior of the Biden administration. Namely the economy "stupid", the border chaos, the violence in the streets of all Democratic party controlled cities, and the communist critical race theory and trany indoctrination being forced on our school children. So, November is fast approaching. I can't wait.[/QUOTE]Sorry, but to expect the committee to immediately stop what they're doing and call both Ornato and Engel is idiotic.
The committee will call them to testify under oath.
Besides, Ornato has a history, when not under oath, of pulling a trump.
"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 [B]will testify under oath[/B]. Or at least they'll be asked to testify. Whether or not they [B]actually testify[/B] is another matter entirely.
[URL]https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/07/02/jan6-select-committee-cassidy-hutchinson-testimony-secret-service/[/URL]
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 [B]you[/B] 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?

What?
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2726773]Yeah, there were hundreds of articles about dozens of phone calls to poison control. I am surprised you dumb Dems did not impeach Trump over that.
And you are complaining about that? I thought you wanted all Trump's amoral, racist, and evil supporters dead. Maybe now you should not impeach Trump but give him a medal. Can you make up your mind about why Trump is evil?
By the way, where are all the articles about people who died from Covid after Biden said you could not get it if vaccinated? Where are those hundreds of articles?
When a Republican talks, words mean things. When a Democrat talks, what does the word words mean? Does that not depend on what your definition of is is?[/QUOTE]Can you read for comprehension?

They also believed the Orange Moron when he said that Mexico would pay for the wall. Nobody else did, of course, but trump supporters did.
They also believed Hair Furor when he said that he had proof of the election being stolen. Nobody else did, of course, but trump supporters did.
They believed Cheeto Tweeto when he said that Chinese thermostats changed votes. Or was it Italian satellites? Nobody else did, of course, but trump supporters did.

Soviet 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.

Spin, spin and more spin
[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2727037]This post is beautiful! I think I will print it & frame it.
So, PV Acknowledges my critical point that the reason the Secret Service were not asked to testify in front of Nancy's inquisition is that their firsthand testimony would have been exculpatory because their testimony would have completely contradicted the third hand testimony of the woman. 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..[/QUOTE]Did Bobby Engle dispute Ornato's story to Cassidy Hutchinson [B]while she was in the room[/B]. Nope. Did these two morons testify [B]under oath[/B]? Nope.

Biden 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.

You are generous.
[QUOTE=Villainy;2726348]You are absolutely correct. I would say it slightly differently but it all comes to the same place.
AxelHeyst has been watching too many episodes of Law & Order. Hearsay may not be accepted in a trial. But absolutely it is acceptable in a Congressional Hearing. What Axel didn't know is that the Congressional Hearing is not a trial. They are functioning like a Grand Jury and listening to evidence. Hearsay may lead to witnesses with direct involvement or knowledge of the events. So while "hearsay evidence" may not be used at a future trial, the Congressional Committee is absolutely entitled to listen to it and issue subpoenas to others who may have direct knowledge.
If charges are referred and a trial occurs later that "hearsay" may or may not be useable. Generally not, however there are exceptions..[/QUOTE]I can't see Axel being able to follow an episode of Law and Order. He's just regurgitating what he's read off right wingnut blogs, complete with all the asinine red baiting while ignoring all rebuttals. But what else do Trumpists know how to do besides play the victim? That said there are many exceptions to the hearsay rule so it's often admitted in trials. I've made that point several times and of course it's been continually ignored.
[URL]https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule_803[/URL]
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.

Furthermore, you have refused to acknowledge that any sane person would speak up [B]immediately[/B] when they are party to a lie being told.

Again with the "woke" term. When will you realize that the opposite of "woke" is "asleep". Evidently, RethugliKKKants prefer to go through life asleep at the switch.

Facts? What a laugh.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2727104]You have no idea what anyone would do, and it is a sorry ass excuse. With Russiagate, with the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and how it was covered, and with the Brett Kavanaugh hearing, you dumb Dems lost all credibility. I did not even like Kavanaugh that much. There are like five Catholics on SCOTUS already, and he is another blue blood type whose views on the 4th amendment may be at odds with mine but what you dumb Dems did not get is that after that flimsy bullshit feminist hit job on him, a repeat of Clarence Thomas, he had my support.
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.[/QUOTE]Facts? You wouldn't know a "fact" if it sat on your face. But you know all about "alternative facts".
"Russiagate", as you have termed it, was covered in the Mueller Report. How many people were [B]indicted[/B]? To my recollection, it was a non-zero number, wasn't it? What was it that Mueller said? As I recall, it was something to the effect of "If we could have said that Donnie the Dumbass was innocent, we would have said it. We didn't say that he was innocent. " You could read the Mueller Report but I know you won't.
All you have is conspiracy theories. You don't have facts, you have theories. Rudy G even admitted it. "We have lots of theories but no evidence". [URL]https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3531342-rusty-bowers-says-giuliani-told-him-weve-got-lots-of-theories-we-just-dont-have-the-evidence/[/URL].
Even Bill Barr admitted that "2000 Mules" was bullshit. But RethugliKKKants keep bringing it up as proof. [URL]https://theweek.com/jan-6-committee/1014350/barr-talks-trump-the-big-lie-and-2000-mules-during-2nd-jan-6-hearing[/URL].
And the issue with all of this is that RethugliKKKants keep trying to convince everybody that their evidence-free "proof" is fact. The only people they convince with this nonsense is other RethugliKKKants who have been breathing their own exhaust for so long that they think it smells good. You keep going down the same rabbit-hole and think that you find something different every time you do. You don't. It is just same stuff over-and-over-again.
And you are still doing it. That's why we tune you out.

Here's the definition of "immediately". [URL]https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/immediately[/URL].
Please be so kind as to point out where in the definition it says that an 18 months wait is "immediate".
When you call somebody out for a comment, at least have the decency to know what you're talking about. Waiting 18 months (which is what Ornato and Engle did) to rebut something is certainly not "immediately".
Had Engle refuted the story that Ornato told Hutchinson [B]immediately, while Hutchinson was still in the room[/B], we wouldn't be having this argument. Did he refute the story "immediately"? Nope. Did he refute it 18 months later? Yes. Under oath? Nope.
But, according to you, 18 months is "immediate". FYI, it is not.

X, why do you keep insisting that I slap you down again and again? Have some self-respect, dude. You lost the debate when you could not or would not address the 2 secret service eyewitnesses not being called by Nancy to testify at her inquisition. Instead, you went off into the weeds rambling about the definition of hearsay and left-wing women's integrity as witnesses in partisan kangaroo witch hunts.
At least Poncho understood the critical relevance of not calling the 2 key eyewitnesses to testify at the hearings. His response was classic Antifa: he attacked the character and integrity of the 2 eyewitnesses. KKK. Yeah, it is an obnoxious, soviet era response, but personally if I had to choose between your mealy-mouthed obfuscations or Poncho's straight forward KGB style attack response, I would take his because it is more revealing of what the Marxist Woke political movement is all about.

Even the guy in your link where that one sentence was truncated out of all context and cut away from almost before we even hear the last letter of the last word in the sentence gave the statement a "Half True" rating.
Here is the rest of it:
[URL]https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-if-vaccinated-wont-get-covid/[/URL]
[QUOTE]Context
During the same public appearance, Biden also stated, accurately, that vaccinated people are less likely to catch the virus than unvaccinated people and, if they do catch it, are less likely to get sick.
....
BIDEN: Well, the virus look, its real simple. We have a pandemic for those who haven't gotten a vaccination. Its that basic, that simple. Ten thousand people have recently died; 9,950 of them, thereabouts, are people who hadn't been vaccinated.
This is a simple, basic proposition. If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you're not going to be in an ICU unit, and you are not going to die.
.....
But, again, one last thing. We don't talk enough to you about this, I don't think. One last thing that's really important is, were not in the position where we think that any virus, including the Delta virus, which is much more transmissible and more deadly in terms of unvaccinated people, the the various shots that people are getting now cover that. You're OK. You're not going to you're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.
.....
(Also, at the same appearance)
"If you're vaccinated, even if you do catch the virus, quote, unquote, like people talk about it in normal terms, you're not many people do. If you do, you're not likely to get sick. You're probably going to be symptomless. You're not going to be in a position where your life is in danger. [/QUOTE]BTW, all he was trying to do was encourage anti-science lemming Repubs who had believed any or all of the 40 or so times Trump lied to them that "it will go away without a vaccine" and were continuing to die for lack of taking the vaccines to stop being so stupid and take them.

Any of the non-Dems want to predict what these dumb Dems are going to say about this?
First off, they go on and on about the stupid bleach joke when this is way, way more serious.
It is funny how these fools did not even realize Biden said it. That shows how blind, dense, and ill-informed they really are.
Maybe they will accuse me of lying when I said "get" versus "have". Have is present tense, and Biden was talking about the virus that existed then.
Here is MSN"s spin:
However, after new variants of the novel virus emerged, efficacy against infections dipped, but vaccines have generally remained strong at preventing serious cases, hospitalization and death.
This is a nice try, but there were variants before the vaccine, and the hospitalization and death crap is proven to be untrue.
How about another dumb Dem tactic? Attacking the source?
MSN, they are a fucking joke man. They are even worse than Fox News. Tucker Carlson uses MSN as a source all the time. Gramps in Thailand already referenced Fox News. He he.

Republi-cannots (win honestly at the ballot-box)
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2727104] ... Thing is PVM, we do not know what the fuck she was doing. She could have been stuffing the ballot box for Trump right?

Boy do I love that magical, thinking and how brain re-writes history, at will. That's a top notch talent you got there. Trump University, was it?
To answer your question, Dems do, ABSOLUTELY care about election fraud. In fact about 95% of election fraud was committed by the Repubs. As I've said before, Republi-cannots (win honestly at the ballot-box)/Con-servatives and are by far the very best at cheating.

I should have anticipated the context angle. Biden didn't say he was sending troops to Ukraine. That was just a context error.
Gramps, you know you are totally full of shit right?
The science is the vaccine worked okay for a few months and then it did nothing and at the time it was doing the most nothing is when Dems were bitching the loudest for people to get vaccinated. That is the truth and the science, and Biden was miles away from both.
Thing is you didn't even know Biden said what he did Gramps. Why is that?

"You are not going to have Covid if you have these vaccinations. ".
Any of the non-Dems want to predict what these dumb Dems are going to say about this?
First off, they go on and on about the stupid bleach joke when this is way, way more serious.
It is funny how these fools did not even realize Biden said it. That shows how blind, dense, and ill-informed they really are.
Maybe they will accuse me of lying when I said "get" versus "have". Have is present tense, and Biden was talking about the virus that existed then.
Here is MSN"s spin:
However, after new variants of the novel virus emerged, efficacy against infections dipped, but vaccines have generally remained strong at preventing serious cases, hospitalization and death.
This is a nice try, but there were variants before the vaccine, and the hospitalization and death crap is proven to be untrue.
How about another dumb Dem tactic? Attacking the source?
MSN, they are a fucking joke man. They are even worse than Fox News. Tucker Carlson uses MSN as a source all the time. Gramps in Thailand already referenced Fox News. He he.
Here is another good one. Did I imagine it?
No, you and all the other dumb Dems imagined he didn't say it.
Can you even make this up? Doesn't that show you how slanted the media is and how the dumb Dems lap it up?
I am not going to pull any punches here. This is not a dumb Dem tactic but Democratic douchery at work.
This is how Russiagate happens. The FBI talks to the media about Russiagate. Then they use the media story as the means to get a FiSA warrant. This is classic Democratic fact checking. Two Dems agree what the facts and both are too stupid to even use duckduckgo. (Google got rid of all the links to this video).

Nah, just kidding! I just hope the douches can be halfway creative this time.[/QUOTE]If you knew what vaccines were supposed to do, you wouldn't write this drivel.
I saw an ad on TV last night for "Shingrix", the shingles vaccine. Evidently "Shignrix" doesn't work at all because the ad (admittedly in Canadian TV, because they still can't lie) said that the vaccine is 90% effective. If you knew how vaccines work, you'd know that most vaccines are not 100% effective 100% of the time. The following article points that out and shows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that [B]most vaccines are not 100% effective 100% of the time[/B]. [URL]https://www.immune.org.nz/vaccines/efficiency-effectiveness[/URL].
Look, we all get that you are an apologist for the Mango Mussolini. Note how you [B]still[/B] refer to the lie that his "inject disinfectant" comment was a joke. Even though everybody on the planet (with a brain) knows that the Orange Menace was serious when he said it.
But the important point here, and one that I've asked you to answer hundreds of times, is [B]who was President when the vaccines were developed[/B]? This is not a complicated answer. But answering it poses a serious problem for all tRUMP supporters. That's because if you say the vaccine is worthless or not very effective, then you are admitting that it was the Mango Mussolini who developed this "less than effective" vaccine. So, which is is? My gut tells me that you'll try to spin this somehow rather than admit that Donnie the Dumbass paid million of dollars for a vaccine that is "less than effective". But that's what you RethugliKKKants do.
FYI, if Hair Furor was "always authentic" then his comment about injecting bleach had to be authentic too, right?

My Covid Anecdotal Experience
I was vaxed twice (Moderna) before my 1st trip to Brazil in April 2021. The Delta variant was sweeping the country at that time and all the restaurants and bordellos in RJ & SP were shut down. The SP clinicas somehow remained open. I don't know how they managed it, but they did. In addition, RJ Barra Vip & and SP M Class girls were super friendly and helped fill the void. Anyway, I exchanged bodily fluids with many, many Brazilian girls on that trip and did not contract Covid.
I got a booster shot in September before my October / November 2021 2nd trip. The SP boates and RJ termas were back open for business. I exchanged bodily fluids with many, many Brazilian girls on that trip and did not contract Covid.
Then in March 2022 right before my 3rd trip, I got a 2nd booster shot. 4 Moderna shots in all. By this time the Omicron variant had made its introduction to the world. As I understand it, the Delta variant affects the lower respiratory and Omicron affects the upper respiratory. Delta is far more serious. Omicron is a faster spreader. Anyway, I exchanged bodily fluids with many girls like on my 2 previous trips, but this time I contracted a very mild case of Covid. My symptoms were a severe sore throat like I never experienced before, but nothing else. No coughing, no headaches, and I was not bedridden although my sexual appetite went to zero for a week or so. The sore throat lasted 3 days. I was never tested, but my girls all said, "you have Omicron" matter of fact like it was nothing when I told them of my symptoms.
OK, so about 2 weeks ago which is around 2 months after I recovered from Omicron or whatever I had, I went to dinner with my Dad in Florida. He had 3 Pfizer vax shots. The restaurant was crowded, and the tables were close together. 2 days later he contracted a lite case of Covid probably Omicron. I came over to his place for dinners and morning coffee. I did not wear a mask, so I was super exposed to whatever he had, but I contracted nada. My Dad recovered in 3 days. He is in his 90's, but in good shape.
So, what does my anecdotal story indicate? My take is that the Moderna vax's were pretty effective against the lower respiratory Delta variant, but more or less ineffective against the upper respiratory Omicron variant although they may have mitigated the severity of Omicron, but Omicron was already noted for not being as severe as Delta, so who the fuck knows.
Moderna and Pfizer are both coming out with new vaccines in September which are supposedly designed for the current Covid variants. The question is who wants to get vaccinated? Ha Ha. Not me. I believe that I am currently immune, but I don't know for how long. I have an open mind, however, so I want to hear scientific facts and data from the CDC on these new vaccines and I definitely do not want to hear any more political BS and bias. I am not going to take it on faith from anybody about the efficacy and safety of the newbies. Sadly the "experts" credibility is shot. Pun intended.

[QUOTE=JustTK;2727542]Great little mash up on the lies around COVID and how easily the public bought in to the propaganda.
[URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7ka2eUwwWc[/URL][/QUOTE]Nice find, JustTK. I really cannot see anyone defending this video. Maybe some fact check douche will say the lying pols were telling the half truth. But, but, but it was Trump who was spreading disinformation. Man, these douches cannot quit Trump.
And this is why I cannot stand Democratic douches. Their douchery was so bad during the pandemic that comedians, fucking comedians, were the only ones telling the truth about Covid. They interviewed real scientists like Dr. Malone and got his thoughts about it. The thing Jimmy Dore does not mention about Dr. Malone is that he was vaccinated and had long Covid. He is not some stupid, lame brained denier but he was painted that way by the goofs in the mainstream media.
The Democratic douches are not the party of science. They pay scientists to reflect their own opinions and call it science, and they pay and bash people to belittle real scientists like Dr. Malone. All those politicians should have a tag line under them saying, "Bought and paid for by Pfizer and Moderna".
Now Pfizer and Moderna have reformulated their vaccine for the latest omicron variant. Any double blind placebo controlled studies? Nah. They did that once and got the results they wanted.
You would think the media would be calling for Fauci's head and holding Biden and all the other lying Dems feet to the fire over lying about the vaccine, but it is crickets. "They had to lie after all the shit Trump said. " Hundreds of millions of Americans vaccinated for almost no reason and all that money spent and the douches are still aghast over Trump's bleach comment. How fucking stupid are they?
But as we have seen, these dumbshit douches still have their heads in the sand. This was the #1 article on CNBC, [URL]https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/03/fauci-not-being-up-to-date-on-covid-vaccines-boosters-means-trouble.html[/URL].
If you aren't up-to-date on Covid vaccines and boosters, you're 'going to get into trouble'.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Honestly, JustTK, the number of Covid cases now is as bad now as it ever was. The hysteria is down, and the variant just is not as severe. Still, I am seeing an occasional person who is sick as shit. For what it is worth, I think the reason the mortality number early on was so high was because doctors fucked up and put people on ventilators who did not need to be.
There was this fat 85 year diabetic Covid + guy who came into the ER the other day. He was gasping for air, pulse was through the roof, oxygen level was low. Staff took care of him like anybody else. They had been around Covid so much it did not scare them a lick. No one on the planet would argue that a guy who looked like this should be on a ventilator right? But everyone had seen this before. He was given dexamethasone, some heparin, and put on Bipap. Sixty minutes later, he is feeling so much better, he falls asleep. I still have not seen anyone as sick as this die of Covid, and I have seen a lot of people like this.
But the real idiocy on "science" is with climate change and clean energy. [URL]https://freemansperspective.com/we-already-have-clean-energy/[/URL]#more-11499.
I was confronted with this fact quite some years ago, while working on an alternative energy project. Here are the pounds of particulate matter (aka, dirt), produced when generating a billion BTUs (British Thermal Units, a measurement of heat):
Coal 2,744.
Oil 84.
Natural Gas 7.
Nuclear 0.
And another post from Freeman's perspective.
The real purpose of the Green faith is for you to welcome lower standards of living.
For example, "sustainable agriculture," no matter how reverently it's name is intoned, actually means "lower crop yields and fewer animals per acre. ".
Sustainable agriculture is built around an insane posit: That bureaucrats, a thousand miles away and with zero experience, know how to use specific pieces of land better than farmers and ranchers who've been working them all their lives. It is, as an old saying goes, so ridiculous that only an intellectual could believe it.
We just saw what these pols did in the name of "science". They wrecked our economy, pumped us full of worthless experimental shit which did no good whatsoever, and now we have these same dumbshit Democratic douches who are ready for more. Well, yeah, but the scientists are saying that our dirty energy is cause the earth to die.
Hell, all these dumb shit douches need to be told is Trump is against green energy, and they will jump to being pro-green energy in a second. Hey, dummies, do you know that when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing, you do not generate energy?
Here is a lib who does an amazing job actually talking about the facts and science of nuclear power. [URL]https://environmentalprogress.org/complete-case-for-nuclear[/URL].
Maybe this time these douches will get a fucking clue what real science is.

Biden even says it 2-3 different times at that same appearance.
But if you are prone to only choose one utterly irrelevant and harmless misstatement to go on and ignore everything else, let's examine the potential downside of doing that.
Zero downside.
Please explain the horrible outcome for some seriously hearing-impaired soul who only heard Biden say that one sentence and none of the others, got 2-3 vaccinations and then actually did get Covid but the symptoms were so mild thanks to his being vaccinated that he didn't even know he had it. Or the symptoms were no worse than getting a 3-day cold.
I suppose you think he ought to be hopping mad about that, right? Please explain why.
Now let's compare that to the dozens of times Trump said what I quoted above and millions of people were dumb enough to believe him. The downside to that is the actual death of almost everyone who died from it after they refused to get vaccinated despite Biden making them readily and freely available to every American.
That is a huge and meaningful difference.

Dammit all, they never would have taken those free, safe and easily available vaccines and could have died from Covid fair and square if only Biden had kept his mouth shut and not misstated that one iddy biddy detail about it!
How dare Biden save their lives that way!
Before that they were happily sailing along under the Trump-assured delusion that "it is disappearing and will go away without a vaccine", well on their way to enjoying some serious debilitating symptoms, hospitalization, perhaps even death when they eventually became infected.
Then Biden had to come along and make that one sentence misstatement, the only sentence they heard, and ruin everything.
They might never forgive Biden for that.

So now you are calling a 0% vaccine a vaccine. That is a laugh.
Hell, it is now standard Democratic douchery to change the meaning of words. The Covid vaccine was not a vaccine. It was more of an immune stimulator and so the meaning of the word vaccine was changed. Now you douches are changing the meaning of the word recession. Global warming is now climate change, the word is is up for debate, and science is not science.
PVM, what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you care about anything besides the Democratic party? This whole thing should tell you that they do not give a fuck about you. You put an experimental drug into your body and no one has any fucking clue what it does long term FOR NOTHING.

For the recently convinced 'Polls tell us everything' crowd
The uncharacteristic Repub advantage on the Generic Ballot question regarding control of Congress has totally evaporated in the highly regarded FiveThirtyEight Polling Service version of it.
Tied / Dead Even today:
[URL]https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/[/URL]
Even on the demonstrably Repub / winger-leaning RealClearPolitics site version of it, the Repub advantage today has sunk to a mere 0.3 percentage point:

And this is as the primaries are only now determining which QAnon Repub loon specifically will be running against a Dem who, unlike the Repub loon, prefers and will defend and protect democracy over authoritarian dictatorship along with being able to tout all of the remarkable, historic, positive achievements and accomplishments of the current presidential administration and Dem-controlled Congress in recovering us and the world from the disastrous across-the-board economic, domestic, national security and foreign policy results handed to them from the previous Repub administration and his fellow Repubs in Congress.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2727786]Yeah, I understand some of the people who weirdly only heard that one sentence about not getting Covid if you take Biden's free, safe and easily available vaccines, still got Covid months later but, thanks to being vaccinated, had symptoms so mild, if any at all, most of them never even knew they had it are organizing a class-action law suit for having been so egregiously misled.
Dammit all, they never would have taken those free, safe and easily available vaccines and could have died from Covid fair and square if only Biden had kept his mouth shut and not misstated that one iddy biddy detail about it!
How dare Biden save their lives that way!
Before that they were happily sailing along under the Trump-assured delusion that "it is disappearing and will go away without a vaccine", well on their way to enjoying some serious debilitating symptoms, hospitalization, perhaps even death when they eventually became infected.
Then Biden had to come along and make that one sentence misstatement, the only sentence they heard, and ruin everything.
They might never forgive Biden for that.[/QUOTE]As usual and as expected, you sidetracked what question my post was in response to. Very typical [blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue] keep changing the goal posts, same like changing definition of recession now. LOL.

[QUOTE=Gino02;2727924]As usual and as expected, you sidetracked what question my post was in response to. Very typical **** keep changing the goal posts, same like changing definition of recession now. LOL.[/QUOTE]The definition of a Recession has virtually always been when the National Bureau of Economic Research declares it so based on a host of factors.
And on that count, it is doubtful the NBER will declare as a "Recession" a period of time where the unemployment rate has remained well below 4%, jobs are being created at record levels, wages are increasing at decades long record highs, consumer spending has barely declined despite Trump's Pandemic Supply-Chain Destruction Inflation, mere 1.6% and 0.9% pull backs in GDP Growth were seen for a couple of quarters after posting positive GDP Growth numbers under Biden and the Dems that Trump and his Repubs could only wish for but never achieved and even with the stock market as measured by the Wall Street go-to S&P 500 Index closing barely into Bear Market territory for only a few days before (so far) climbing right back into a health-restoring Correction territory within a mere 14% or so of it's all time record high achieved under Biden several months ago.
Oh, and with some other folk's favorite go-to measure for the USA stock market, the DOW, not yet closing in Bear Market territory for even a single day.
Although I suppose it is possible if Trump and Moscow Mitch somehow managed to pack the NBER with their favorite QAnon Repub loons.
Now, for the concept of a "mini Recession", the kind that came and went during a brief and mild downturn or set back that didn't even raise the unemployment rate into double digits for a single month or produce so much as a few thousand job losses, if any at all, check out the 2-3 that occurred under Truman post WWII and especially that tiny one under Carter. Any two of Eisenhower's three Recessions combined was bigger than those.
By stark contrast, of course, for the concept of a "Great Recession / Depression" over the past 100 years or so, simply check out the disastrous policy and stewardship-driven downturns under Hoover, Reagan, Bush2 and Trump.
Honorable Mention must go to those THREE Happy Days Recessions Eisenhower produced and presided over and a nod in passing to the significant ones Nixon / Ford and Bush1 gave us as well.
None at all to report for that timeframe under JFK, LBJ, Clinton, Obama and, yep, Biden to date. Not even a "mini" one.

And who was President?
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2727817]What does MY supposed lack of knowledge of vaccines have to do with anything?
So this is a straw man and deflection. I never said the vaccine was 100% effective. It was wrongly advertised as being 95% effective and was not. Right now, it is 0% effective, not 90, not 100 but 0.
So now you are calling a 0% vaccine a vaccine. That is a laugh.
Hell, it is now standard Democratic douchery to change the meaning of words. The Covid vaccine was not a vaccine. It was more of an immune stimulator and so the meaning of the word vaccine was changed. Now you douches are changing the meaning of the word recession. Global warming is now climate change, the word is is up for debate, and science is not science..[/QUOTE]Who was President when this "0% effective" vaccine was developed? The Mango Mussolini.
Who got duped by the companies that developed this "0% effective" vaccine? The Mango Mussolini?
Who didn't bother to insert any type of "effectiveness" clause in any of the vaccine contracts? The Mango Mussolini.
Who is the sole person to blame for the "0% effective" vaccine? The Mango Mussolini.
So, in terms of the only word you seem to understand, "douchery", who is the biggest "douche" on the planet? The Mango Mussolini. Who are the second biggest "douches"? His supporters and apologists.
An "immune stimulator"? Really? Because that is [B]exactly what a vaccine does[/B]. Vaccines are supposed to stimulate the body's immune system so that it can recognize an invasion by a specific bacteria or virus. Anybody who has been educated past the third grade knows this. [URL]https://vaccination-info.eu/en/vaccine-facts/how-vaccines-work[/URL] and [URL]https://immunizebc.ca/how-do-vaccines-work[/URL] and [URL]https://ec.europa.eu/info/live-work-travel-eu/coronavirus-response/safe-covid-19-vaccines-europeans/how-do-vaccines-work_en[/URL] and [URL]https://www.health.gov.au/health-topics/immunisation/about-immunisation[/URL] There many more examples. But to suggest that every single one of these agencies changed the definition of what a vaccine is and how it works is almost as ludicrous as "but the election was stolen". It is easy, however, to see why RethugliKKKants believe it, though. The more outlandish the conspiracy theory, the more you ID ten t's believe it.
And please stop lying about the "experimental" COVID vaccines. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have received full FDA approval. Stop believing everything FUX Snooze tells you. Nobody with a brain believes anything that FUX Snooze says. [URL]https://www.goodrx.com/conditions/covid-19/fda-covid-19-vaccine-approval-updates[/URL].

As usual, Krugman is exactly right
Few Nobel Memorial Prize-winning economists (in Economic Sciences) or any others have been as right as often about the economy, the consistent Repub economic failures and lies and Mainstream Media's tireless efforts to "Bothside" every important issue into a false but perceived advantage and win for the Repubs as Paul Krugman.
His assessment of Biden and the Dems' next historic positive accomplishment in less than two years of Biden's astonishingly successful presidency is no exception to that pattern.
Well worth a read for some of the pro America elements cited in the Inflation Reduction Act that patriotic Americans will love for decades to come, Repubs will hate forever and MSM will happily struggle to turn into a very close horse race and, it hopes, potential election win for Repubs who have never, could never and would never come up with anything providing even 1% of the value this Biden / Dem legislation provides for America and Americans:

[QUOTE]Kyrsten Sinema willing, Democrats appear to be on the verge of passing the Inflation Reduction Act a bill that probably would, indeed, reduce inflation but is mainly a desperately needed effort to limit climate change. Republicans are, of course, attacking the legislation.
But when I look at the substance of those attacks, such as it is, I cant help feeling more cheerful than I have in months.
For one thing, the debate over the proposal feels like a return to a more innocent time, when Republicans tried to make their case with dishonest claims about economic policy not insane conspiracy theories and attempts to overthrow democracy.[/QUOTE]

Of particular interest is the fact that excess deaths were higher in 2021 than in 2020. Stop and think about that. In 2020, the so-called "deadly virus" rampaged freely with no vaccine. The "vaccine" was released late 2020 and was pushed so hard that a majority of people took it. So excess deaths should have fallen back toward the normal 2019 levels. But in fact, they increased. There were more excess deaths in 2021 with the vaccine than in 2020 without it.

Plenty of articles continue to be written, but you probably don't read them as they're not carried in Newsmax or OAN (if you can find that station anymore after the cable companies cut them off).
Biden has done more in 18 months that Trump and GW did in 12 years. We're out of Afghanistan, we just killed Al-Queda's #2, manufacturing jobs are being created, unemployment is at its lowest point in 60 years, and even the leftover supply chain problems left by Trump have been lessened. We have an infrastructure bill that passed (remember infrastructure week (s) during Trump), and a bill that should pass which will cure some of the problems with Trump's tax scam. Aside from unrealistic expectations that Biden was going to expand the Supreme Court or forgive all student debt, he's done a magnificent job in 18 months with a 50/50 senate.
And if you look at the polls, instead of losing Senate and House seats, Democrats are looking to gain 2-3 Senate seats (PA, OH, IA) and hold the House.
So yes. Sorry the media is not talking about the horrible job Biden is doing.

Further back there was Clinton apparatchik George Stephanopoulos, one of the few Clinton associates still alive today, who moved seamlessly into the fake news. The list goes on and on.
Collectively, this democrat / RINO / media / Washington agency merry-go-round is known as The Swamp. It must be drained, and the vile, poisonous creatures lurking within put to the sword, if we are to retake our country.

Slander
[QUOTE=Paulie97;2727822]You, talking about credibility?? Wink The vaccines offer protection against servere illness. This was proven in the highly disproportionate amount of the unvaccinated admitted to hospitals. The "experts" were right and your essay was pointless.[/QUOTE]I never said the vaccines did not mitigate severe cases of the virus. If you had read my post with an open mind you might have noticed this paragraph: "So, what does my anecdotal story indicate? My take is that the Moderna vax's were pretty effective against the lower respiratory Delta variant, but more or less ineffective against the upper respiratory Omicron variant although they may have mitigated the severity of Omicron, but Omicron was already noted for not being as severe as Delta, so who the fuck knows."
So once again you demonstrated your intolerance towards any opinion other than your own, but this time you went far beyond that by lying about what I posted and what I did in SP. Here is a direct quote from your post.
[QUOTE=Paulie97;2727822] Originally Posted by AxelHeyst : Real nice guy, knows he has Covid but keeps himself in the mix spreading it to hookers and who knows else. But of course it's all about you, your discomforts and lack of sexual appetite. No other thought entered your mind. [/QUOTE]The problem is that I did not post anything even close to this lie, so your attempt to assassinate my character is based on your own made-up false statement about my behavior in Brazil which is over the top despicable and a new low even for the likes of you. It just shows the kind of hatred that flows through your mind and indicates what you might do in a similar circumstance not what I did.
The truth is I self-isolated in SP when I became ill. So, where the fuck do you get off saying I did anything else? What I posted was that I had no sexual appetite for a week or so which was true. It was a discernable feature of the illness along with a severe sore throat which I had for the first 3 days and then it went away. This was one of the main points of my report which was to accurately describe how it felt to have Omicron after 4 Moderna shots.
Here is my exact quote:
[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2727707] My symptoms were a severe sore throat like I never experienced before, but nothing else. No coughing, no headaches, and I was not bedridden although my sexual appetite went to zero for a week or so. The sore throat lasted 3 days. I was never tested, but my girls all said, "you have Omicron" matter of fact like it was nothing when I told them of my symptoms. [/QUOTE]I did not go into more details or post a trip report of my time with Omicron because my time was spent alone, and it was BORING. I binged watched 12 seasons of "Trailer Park Boys" on Netflix, I hung out alone at my hotel's swimming pool, I went to the park and hung out alone, I picked up takeout food from a local restaurant alone. I always wore my mask in public and I kept the maids out of my room for 10 friggin' days.
I video texted on What'sApp with my favorite girls all the time. "S" my favorite SP girl wanted to come over right away and I had to insist that she not come. It was our thing to set aside Sunday night for "date night" at my hotel, so when Sunday came around and it was only the 6th day since that strange sore throat first hit me, even though I felt fine and she really wanted to come over I would not let her come over. She is a great gal.
I also had another prearranged date with Rafa scheduled for the next night (night 7). Rafa is model quality girl I met at Scandallo and a real looker. She was ready to come over and said she was not worried about Omicron since she said she had it twice before. Nevertheless, I told her not come because she was leaving on her European trip Wednesday, and it was not worth taking the risk. It was very hard telling Rafa not to come over because I knew I would not see her again until October.
Finally, another Sunday night rolled around (13 days after my sore throat) and "S" came over. It was a grand reunion. We drank a bottle of wine, smoked some reefer, had room service dinner, watched Trailer Park Boys" and boom boomed 3 times. She stayed until 3:30 am. She suffered no subsequent health issues. After that wonderful night I knew I was totally free of Omicron, so I hooked up with Licia, another favorite girl of mine that I had placed on hold due to the Omicron thing. She was also well aware of my Omicron situation. She came over and we had a blast. Licia also had no subsequent health issues after our night together. Proof that I was no longer carrying the virus.
Now if you were a monger and had any experience traveling in the post covid era and not such a complete gutter snipe, you would not have made up your intolerable accusation. But since you obviously have no mongering experience in the covid era and therefore you have no idea what it is like to catch covid a foreign country or know any girls you really like and who really like you, I suggest that you just shut your stupid mouth in front of your betters. If you were not such a prick, I might even feel sorry for you. My advice to you is get out, travel, meet some nice girls and get yourself laid.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2728130]Meanwhile, Bothsiders and Mainstream Media will insist this (non) Recession and Dem economic "failure" is really no different than, oh, the Great Repub Depression of the late 1920's / early 1930's, the three Repub Recessions under Eisenhower[/QUOTE][blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue]. The 50's was a golden age for the working man, in spite of three mild recessions, much of which was inherited from Truman and related to the end of the Korean War. You've already acknowledged that recessions typically follow the ending of wars but only Democrats get that benefit in your sloppy, slanted analysis. This was the era of great infrastructure projects, the expansion of social security, increases in the minimum wage, and the creation of HEW which became the department of Health and Human Services. Many bought their first television sets and could afford second cars. Domestic vacations to picturesque places accessed over the highways driving some of the most beautiful cars ever made were routine for the average person. It was a golden age for cinema and music. Inflation and unemployment were low. The list goes on. Of course after all the bluster you can't back down now and save face, but here's an interesting article from the Miller Center, University of VA for the audience, beginning with an excerpt.
"Although mild recessions slowed growth in 1953-1954,1957-1958, and again in 1960, the economy expanded robustly during most of the 1950's. Unemployment was generally low, and inflation usually was 2 percent or less. Indeed, Eisenhower's record of strong growth and low inflation was better than that of any other post-World War II President. Although Old Guard conservatives pressed Eisenhower to cut taxes, the President gave a higher priority to balancing the budget. Eisenhower had moderate success—three of his eight budgets were in the black. Wage earners enjoyed a prosperous decade: During the Eisenhower presidency, personal income increased by 45 percent. Many families used their purchasing power to buy new houses, frequently in suburban developments. Consumers also used their income to acquire many new household items, including television sets and high-fidelity equipment. A few families even made their purchases by using the first charge cards from Diners Club and American Express. ".

Oh Noooo
Even the ultra Repub / winger-leaning Rasmussen Poll has the previous uncharacteristic Repub advantage in their Generic Congressional Control question plunging from double digits to a mere 3%, well within a normal +/-MoE.

Oh, and the more reliable and highly regarded FiveThirtyEight polling service now shows Dems leading Repubs on the question:
[URL]https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/[/URL]
Those polls were taken before Biden / Dems' latest remarkable historic economic achievements re Jobs Creation and their pending terrific Inflation Reduction Act legislation (BBB Redux), the provisions in which the majority of Americans have wanted done for decades, was announced. So, "watch this space". LOL.
But they were taken after national gas prices continued to decline over the past 50+ days.

[QUOTE=Spidy;2727842]Yeah! Definitely HUGE! This radical, far-right, QAnon "baby eating", "conspiracy at every turn", version of Republicans I don't recognize.

What a motley crew of presidents. You certainly can pick 'em.
Reagan (The 2nd worst of the bunch you chose) - The Godfather of "neo-liberal" capitalism, the "war-on-drugs" and the [b]most puppeted[/b] President of all-time and ushered in age of corporate greed designed to disenfranchise middle and working class Americans.
Clinton (The 3rd worst) - Dude, probably did more for the Republicans than any other Democrat President.
Obama (The 4th worst) - Dude was a bit disappointing. More hard-line measures could have been taken to the banksters and fraudsters of the 2008 crash.
Trump (No.1 and by far the worst) - Enough said w/r to the Orange Buffoon
Well, you have your reasons why you chose, who you chose. There is no wrong or right answer to voting and will also be a personal matter.
But the bear minimum I expect from a president/administration is to uphold some semblance of equality for ALL Americans w/r to peace, democracy and a just rule of law.

Plenty of articles continue to be written, but you probably don't read them as they're not carried in Newsmax or OAN (if you can find that station anymore after the cable companies cut them off).
Biden has done more in 18 months that Trump and GW did in 12 years. We're out of Afghanistan, we just killed Al-Queda's #2, manufacturing jobs are being created, unemployment is at its lowest point in 60 years, and even the leftover supply chain problems left by Trump have been lessened. We have an infrastructure bill that passed (remember infrastructure week (s) during Trump), and a bill that should pass which will cure some of the problems with Trump's tax scam. Aside from unrealistic expectations that Biden was going to expand the Supreme Court or forgive all student debt, he's done a magnificent job in 18 months with a 50/50 senate.
And if you look at the polls, instead of losing Senate and House seats, Democrats are looking to gain 2-3 Senate seats (PA, OH, IA) and hold the House.
So yes. Sorry the media is not talking about the horrible job Biden is doing.[/QUOTE]ET you have competition for the nickname Baghdad Bob.

Yeah, sure, you can point to lots of individual problems, but broadly speaking they are on a better path than the West, and have recovered well from 70 years of communist hell followed by 10 years of Jewish oligarchs looting the country. Which is why the Washington swamp (and Jewish oligarchs) want to destroy Russia. They will not succeed.

Donald J Trump the God of All Gods!![/QUOTE]As long as you have a special love in your heart for those who produced the absolute worst average annual USA private sector jobs creation results in raw numbers and / or percentages and a special hatred for those who produced the best, why didn't W win a spot in 2nd place behind your #1 Favorite, Trump?
And no special love for Herbert Hoover? Why in your world not?
Again, this is another time where Eisenhower should have gotten an Honorable Mention among your favorites. Not only did he manage to produce and preside over THREE Recessions in just 8 years, not coincidentally he also had one of the worst jobs creation records ever:

I mean, as long as you are lovin' yourself a #1 Favorite so-called president who could not have done a worse job on behalf of the American working stiff, how did you miss listing Hoover, W, Bush1 and Eisenhower among a Top 5 without disturbing Trump's well-deserved #1 position?

[QUOTE=Spidy;2728469]
So only now is it "selective, biased" LE and judiciary? But when exacted up "violent rioters who burned and looted cities", it's ALL GOOD?
[/QUOTE]The whole point of the post, which was apparently above and beyond your comprehension level, is that no punishment is exacted upon the violent leftist rioters who burned and looted cities.
Most of the rioters were simply allowed to get away (I recall when there was an effort by the police to apprehend them, leftist media began accusing the police of "kidnapping" them). For the few that were apprehended, there was a huge movement among wacko left celebrities, supported and promoted in fake news media and social media, to raise money for their bail.
That's for the more egregious criminals: most of the rioters were released immediately with no bail by Soros-funded leftist DAs in the democrat shitholes they burned. Then those same DAs quietly dropped the charges, so the rioters faced no punishment whatsoever.
One might have expected the feds to get involved, given such open corruption at local law enforcement level, particularly as many of the rioters attacked and burned federal buildings. But no, there has been no FBI investigation of the leftist antifa / BLM riots and the billions of dollars of damage and destruction they caused across America.
Instead, the feds have spent all their resources hunting and dragging into custody at gunpoint elderly grandmas who wandered into the Capitol through open doors, ushered in by police, took some photos, then left peacefully and went home.
The FBI and the entire "Justice" Department have become an integral part of the Washington swamp / deep state. They all have to go. And they will, as our civilization crumbles and can no longer support them.

"Suffer Capitalism" and the QOP Media Thugs
[QUOTE=Chris P;2728590] ... if Alex Jones has to pay $50 m for broadcasting untruths about Sandy Hook, which didn't cause any financial or physical harm but only hurt people's feelings, most of the fake news, democrats, RINOs and swamp creatures (but I repeat myself) should have to pay that to Donald Trump for broadcasting lies about the Russia hoax. [/QUOTE] Yeah, still waiting for Foxy News to pay hundreds of millions, for the lies and fake news.
So your claiming, it's all good in the "right-wing hood", when soulless right-wing media thugs, prey on, profit and spread untruths from the Sandy Hook deaths of 20 children and the suffering that followed from the family and friends...? Really? Not that I'm surprised, coming from the QAnon "baby eating" right.
[QUOTE=Chris P;2728590] ... which didn't cause any financial or physical harm but [b]only hurt people's feelings[/b] ... [/QUOTE]
Brother Chris P, is now "All Knowing Chris P". Or should I say the "Swami Chris P", or perhaps "Guru Chris P", or better yet "Svengali Chris P"?
What I mean is, for you to claim, that you know, every family member, friend and the Sandy Hook larger community, [b]only suffered "hurt people feelings",[/b] from the taunting lunatic rants of a right-wing media thug, after they experienced the horrific massacre of their children, is just stupefyingly DENSE (to borrow a word from brother Elvis).
[u]More Questions:[/u]
• How is it exactly that you know SO MUCH about what the Sandy Hook family members of those 20 children that were massacred/died, [b]did[/b] and [b]did not[/b] suffer, at the hands of this ranting lunatic right-wing media thug?
• Do you have information on each households financials pre/post-child death rants by loony Jones?
• Are you their psychiatrist, therapist or medical doctor and can attest to their mental/physical condition?
• Do you have the information on their disrupted lives, from this right-wing "Trump Humping" media lunatic pre/post rants?
• Other than your "crystal ball" and "tea leaves", do you have ANYTHING to substantiate your claims against these families, that it was "only hurt people's feelings?"
Even more astounding, but again not surprising, as it highlights, the raising number of insensitive QAnon lunatic fringe, type Rebups, desensitized and numb to the plight of Americans in times of hardship anguish and grief.
"Suffer Capitalism", all in the name of the almighty dollar, profit, greed and/or narcissistic self-aggrandizing shameful infamy.
Let's hope $50 million in damages sends a strong message.

Backfire?

[B]GOP Rep. Meijer: Easy to See Dems Meddling in Primaries Backfiring in a Spectacular Way[/B]
He isn't exactly clear what he means by "backfiring". But if he means the Dems risked an even loonier Repub (one endorsed by Trump) than a more "normal / moderate" one winning this year due to their efforts to help the supposedly "loonier" one win the primary to become the nominee, that is a total non issue.
Here's why:
There are no "normal / moderate" Repubs. There are all equally loony America-haters. There are only normal / moderate "pretending" Repubs or demonstrably proud and loud America-hating loons.
In terms of promoting and voting for legislation certain to produce horrific results while demonizing Dem legislation destined to produce terrific results, there is zero difference between Louis Gohmert, Ted Cruz or Donald Trump and Liz Cheney, MittWitt Romney or Ron DeSantis.
If anything, the "normal / moderate"-seeming Repubs have done more damage to America than the demonstrably loony ones. Reagan and W Bush both seemed to be "normal / moderate" Repubs but their damage to America was only marginally worse than that of Trump. Given the same set of opportunities, I have no doubt both of them would have led a cop-killing mob to attack the seat of American democracy if they thought for one minute their doing so would keep them or other Repubs in power to do more damage to America.
The strategy in question simply put the America-hating looniness of the entire Repub Party and their supporters on display for the world to see. Which is a good thing. As the tightening Generic Ballot polls are showing.

If he wants to watch an even more united Free World flood Taiwan with everything it needs to prevent him from winning any damn thing by stirring up shit instead of continuing to sell his crap to worldwide customers, go for it.
You might want America to hide under a bed and avoid a perfectly legitimate diplomatic and commerce-driven visit by top elected officials in America because Xi is sabre rattling. All the usual good reasons for Pelosi having such a meeting apply here. There are no good reasons to cower from it.

Yep
[QUOTE=Gino02;2729047]What exactly was achieved by Pelosi's Taiwan visit, besides stroking her ego, provoking China to invade Taiwan, increasing chances of thousands of innocent Taiwanese people to get killed (similar to what Biden did to the innocent people killed in Ukraine) and increasing chances of moving more money from US Taxpayers to the military industrial complex? [/QUOTE]Tooms is right. We don't cower to dictators and we support our democratic partners abroad. We also have no interest in your unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, whether they be about Covid or wars. Only 11 Republican senators voted against the latest aid package to Ukraine. Of those supporting many like Rick Scott were far more hawkish than Biden so accuse all of them of "killing 1000's of innocents. " If you are concerned about human lives then talk to Trump's boy Vlad who started the aggression and war crimes and can stop whenever he likes. But you aren't concerned about that, you want to push your fringe politics in a matter that shares wide bi-partisan support while pretending that it's all about Biden. Yawns.

What are you talking about? Are you claiming that there was "looting and burning" at Jan 6? Provably false, like most of your statements.[/QUOTE]There was at least some lootings as a couple of characters were charged with stealing items from Pelosi's office. Minor stuff though compared to the baseball bats, bear spray, smashing out windows, beating and killing cops, zip ties, gallows for the VP, all aimed to stop an election certification and transfer of power. But you guys are always the victims. We get it as that's the only role you know how to play. Poor pitiful you.

'Never Has America Faced A Greater Threat Than Trump,' Says Guy Who Started 2 Wars
Wilson, WY — Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who famously started two wars in the Middle East and shot a dude in the face while hunting, now says Donald Trump is the greatest threat America has ever faced.
"Donald Trump is an evil reprobate and a big meanie, and a danger to our Constitutional rights," growled the retired politician who orchestrated the brutal torture of hundreds of detainees who were held without trial. "We must make sure he never gets elected to office again. And also, vote for my daughter, Liz."
Political consultants applauded Liz Cheney for her brilliant move of tapping one of the most hated politicians in history to help boost her political chances. Initial polling indicates her approval has climbed. 0000002 percentage points since Dick Cheney's statement.
"If there's a singular figure universally adored by every hard-working American, it's Dick Cheney," said a spokesperson for the campaign. "We are grateful for his endorsement, and look forward to seeing her represent the citizens of Wyoming."
Trump was quick to respond to Cheney's statement, saying "Poor little Dick Cheney! He's so mad that I got elected president instead of him. Boo hoo! Maybe he should stop shooting dudes in the face! Sorry, Dick!
At publishing time, Liz Cheney's approval dipped again after her Dad accidentally shot another dude in the face.

Will TrumpShit get arrested before he gets indicted?
Months ago federal employees went to Mar-a-lago to retrieve the contents of approximately 14 boxes of records that TrumpShit took from the White House in January 2020 because he was voted out of office.
There has been no reporting of how much of the 14 boxes of records were retrieved and what portion was still missing.
If federal classified documents were in a Mar-a-lago safe today at the FBI search.
I would guess TS would be arrested first and booked later.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2729469]Then why did a number of individuals connected to the Trump campaign lie about their links...[/QUOTE]The Manafort prosecution was about his work before he briefly joined the Trump campaign. He pulled exactly the same shenanigans that all these political bigwigs do, notably Crooked Hillary's consiglieres the Podestas, but as usual the law was not applied equally. So the Podestas were given a free pass while Manafort went down (with a biased left Washington judge and jury of course).
Just like Eric Holder was given a free pass for his contempt of congress, but Steve Bannon is being persecuted for exactly the same thing. Like how Trump's home was raided on a bullshit fishing expedition while Crooked Hillary was allowed to walk despite rock-solid evidence that she illegally used a private server for her dubious dealings while Secretary of State and deleted and acid-washed the emails. Just like Hunter Biden can lie on a federal gun form, abuse drugs, and act as Joe's bagman as he sold political influence. All the evidence available on his laptop. And again nothing happens.
As to the handful of others, like Papadopoulos and Flynn, they were bullshit process crimes where the FBI interrogate them for hours and hours until they accidentally misspeak ("I went on Tuesday", when it was actually Wednesday).
The central case of the Russia hoax was investigated for two years with unlimited resources, and they found nothing because there was nothing to find. It was a lie and hoax, like most of what the deep state / left produces (men are women, the border is secure, diversity is our strength, Biden got 81 m votes, etc).

Psychiatry, the science is valid..here in America
[QUOTE=Chris P;2729376]Much of "psychiatry" is some weird fantasy made up by a coke-addled jew about fucking his mother or something. There is no empirical test for any of it.

[QUOTE=Chris P;2729376]In real branches of medicine, there is empirical evidence: you break your arm, the fracture is right there on the X-ray; you get lung cancer, the cancer cells show up on the scan.
There is no brain scan from which one can tell what so-called "psychiatric affliction" a patient has. It's just on the claim of some psychiatrist, with no way to prove it either way. This was abused in the USSR, where political dissidents against the communist tyranny were declared "mentally ill" by "psychiatrists", and locked up indefinitely. Now the communists are in America, and they're using the same tricks. Plus ca change.[/QUOTE]
If anything, what your post proves, is that the science of psychiatry (ie. technology...etc) or any science for matter, can be weaponized, politicize and used for good or bad purposes. Much like the QAnon/Repubs are doing with the science of climate change.
Naturally, a fascist dictatorship like Russia would use any means necessary to "silence" their dissidents. Today Russia just goes straight for the poison in the tea.
All that said the science of psychiatry, here in America, [b]is widely adopted, practiced and accepted as a mature medical science.[/b]
In the case of Alex Jones, at the end of the day, his lawyer just didn't present a strong enough case to impugn the veracity of the plaintiffs claim to mental abuse, pain and suffering.
Regardless of QAnon "quackery" or lunatic beliefs around psychiatry in Russia, the bottom line is, the US Texas Court's verdict, sided with the Sandy Hook plaintiffs, to the tune of [b]$45 million in punitive damages.[/b]

What science is not is some leftist jew high on coke spouting a weird bullshit fantasy about fucking his mother.
There is no replicable proof of "mental illness". You can't scan someone's brain and say "Aha! That clump of cells in that formation means he is going to stab someone next Tuesday". Similarly, there is no provable or replicable "cure" for "mental illness". Some people feel better if they go work out. Some people feel better if they find a hot girlfriend. Some people just get over it in time.
It's particularly ironic you mentioned "psychiatry" now because just the other day a huge study came out showing that SSRI "antidepressants" don't work.
The whole field is unscientific. Maybe some people find it calming and relaxing to talk about their problems to a psychiatrist, but it is not replicable or provable, and therefore not science.

The near future
The week started with a raid of a crime scene. On humpday TrumpShit took the fifth. Best thing to round out the week would be an indictment.
I really don't expect an indictment as soon as this week, but it could happen.
The FBI took out 12 boxes from Mar-a-lago containing items.
TrumpShit has a copy of the search warrant and a list of the items taken by the FBI on Monday. Why won't TrumpShit release the warrant and list?
If we keep on hearing his continued whining about the raid.
And if the real news and Fox news continues to be filled with other GOP hacks whining about the raid.
DOJ will just be compelled to charge TrumpShit and detail some of the contents of the 12 boxes they carried out of Florida.
My guess is before the end of August.
Which will really work out well for the bet I made nearly half a year ago that TrumpShit gets indicted by September 1st.

[URL]https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/credit-suisse-plots-comeback-after--costly-mistakes--took-it-to-the-brink/46571798[/URL]
[QUOTE]As Credit Suisse executives finalised an emergency $1. 9 billion (CHF1. 75 billion) fundraising from investors last week, a group of the bank's prized super-rich clients from across Europe and Asia were on a separate Zoom call hosted by law firm Boies Schiller Flexner to plot a class-action suit against the lender.
The clients had been persuaded by Credit Suisse to invest in its collection of supply chain finance funds, backed by the now collapsed Greensill Capital, that were marketed as ultra-safe with limited credit risk given multiple layers of protection.
Those on the call are among the 4,000 investors who ploughed a total of $10 billion into the funds but who now look set to lose up to a quarter of their stakes after Credit Suisse suspended the funds in March. Just weeks later, the bank was pummelled by its biggest quarterly trading loss in more than a decade $4.7 billion linked to the collapse of family office Archegos Capital.
The twin blows have again put Credit Suisse in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, raising doubts about the 165-year-old banks very existence and whether it will be broken up or survive in a European banking market that is under pressure to consolidate.
.....
Credit Suisse has lurched from one disaster to another in recent years. Its previous chief executive, Tidjane Thiam, was forced out over an embarrassing spying scandal. Barely a year later, the Greensill and Archegos calamities have led to multibillion-dollar losses, more executive departures, the threat of litigation and a cratering share price. [/QUOTE]Now that America has experienced its first year in decades without being at war with any other country, you'll have to remind us when and where Biden and the Dems declared war, deployed troops, occupied Capitols, etc lately.
So, will that 1000 point drop in the S&P 500 Index happen "soon" after today? Will it be tomorrow? Within a week or so?
Because if it is just "someday", well, that is a prediction that pretty much anyone could make and eventually be proven correct, wouldn't you say?
Right now, I don't see anything in the fundamentals that would suggest a 25-30% plunge in the S&P 500 Index. But I suppose it could happen if some weird thing occurs that triggers a panic sell-off.
If so, I would see that as a terrific buying opportunity, a major retesting of a low (which in itself could be a good thing), and nothing more frightening than that. I already went on record here 2-3 months ago by posting my judgement that the S&P 500 Index will likely be tickling around the 5000 level "within a year and possibly by the end of this year. ".
Nothing since then has yet changed my judgement about that and instead has only firmed it.

Report: By 2026 Everyone Will Be Working For IRS And Will Just Be Auditing Everyone
Report: By 2026 Everyone In USA Will Be Working For IRS And Will All Just Be Auditing Each Other.
USA — A new report is predicting a 0% unemployment rate by the year 2026, as every American will be working for the IRS and be hard at work auditing other American citizens who work for the IRS.
"America's glorious future is upon us," said President Biden to a statue of Mao Tse Dung in his office. "Soon we will have perfect compliance with tax code as everyone becomes a tax collector for the IRS. Everything will be funded and we'll make the transition to green energy, and no one will ever suffer again! Come on! It's not rocket science, Jack!
The job will require no intelligence or formal education, as tax calculations can be easily made by computers that will monitor the transactions of every American. Workers will simply press a button at their computer to initiate the auditing sequence and will be equipped with a gun and a badge to arrest any friends and neighbors found to be incompliant.
Unfortunately, the report also predicts GDP plunging to zero dollars in 2027 and mass starvation and death by 2028 as farmers spend all their time filling out IRS forms and responiding to audits and not having time to grow food for people to eat. . .

Of course, Hillary Clinton's situation re a subpoena was totally different
[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2730108]The week started with a raid of a crime scene. On humpday TrumpShit took the fifth. Best thing to round out the week would be an indictment.
I really don't expect an indictment as soon as this week, but it could happen.
The FBI took out 12 boxes from Mar-a-lago containing items.
TrumpShit has a copy of the search warrant and a list of the items taken by the FBI on Monday. Why won't TrumpShit release the warrant and list?
If we keep on hearing his continued whining about the raid.
And if the real news and Fox news continues to be filled with other GOP hacks whining about the raid.
DOJ will just be compelled to charge TrumpShit and detail some of the contents of the 12 boxes they carried out of Florida.
My guess is before the end of August.
Which will really work out well for the bet I made nearly half a year ago that TrumpShit gets indicted by September 1st.[/QUOTE]Yes, reports are Trump took the Fifth Amendment 450+ times:

You will never get a conviction with any one of these tactics let alone all of them. There are too many red flags and you will never get beyond a reasonable doubt where the FBI could plant whatever it wanted. The warrant was not limited to time, place, and scope.
Then you have an old FBI agent telling the media it was a search not a raid: [URL]https://www.zerohedge.com/political/media-stopped-describing-targeting-trump-raid-after-former-fbi-agent-complained[/URL].
This search / raid was out of the headlines faster than Covid disappeared after the Ukraine war, and you know why? Because it was never about getting Trump. It was getting documents the FBI did not want the public to see.
Whatever the FBI seized, they will keep as part of an ongoing investigation. The warrant will never see the light of day because it is part of an ongoing investigation as well.
No, this was part of a criminal investigation to get the documents the FBI did not want people to see. The FBI would have to show its hand if they charged Trump with anything and they are not going to do it.

FBI To Begin Raiding Homes Of Those Who Criticize FBI Raid
USA — FBI Director Christopher Wray has come under criticism for his raiding of former President Trump's residence. He responded this morning by announcing that all who criticize the FBI's raid will have their own homes raided as well.
"We will not tolerate any disparagement of this proud and incorruptible federal law enforcement agency that has never done anything wrong," said Wray. "All who oppose us are dangerous and deplorable. Prepare to be raided, suckas!
Wray then directed bureaus to cooperate with local S. W. A. T. Teams and search the homes of everyone who expressed anger and disgust at the FBI raid on Trump's home in Mar-A-Lago. "We will not rest until every deplorable sock drawer has been dumped out and every dangerous home safe has been broken into. Anyone who resists will be sent to GITMO. Don't mess with me, man!
News media assured the country the raids were completely legal as a federal judge formerly from Epstein's defense team signed off on them. . .

As almost everyone who is fair-minded would conclude: Hillary acted carelessly but not with criminal intent. Somewhat surprisingly the people who made the decision whether or not to prosecute were life-long experienced investigative agents and prosecutors and not a partisan hack here on ISG who hasn't been to college much less law school.

Oddly enough he has a reputation as a stickler for legalities and details.

I found this quote in the article from a colleague interesting:
[B]Ellen Cohen, who worked with Reinhart when he was a prosecutor, a defense attorney and a magistrate, described her former colleague as meticulous.
Every time I brought a search warrant to him and I brought many he read it, digested it and asked questions, said Cohen, who retired recently after a 41-year career as a prosecutor. He wasnt someone who would sign off on it just because the government presented it to him.[/B]
Once again the questions arises? Does a partisan hack, with no educational credentials to speak of and with no knowledge of the law or legal procedures, know anything that experienced prosecutors and a "meticulous" judge didn't know? I think not.

If Trump had declassified them by normal means, why didn't he just say so and prove it months ago when he defied the subpoena to return them to their rightful owner?
And, no, tearing up documents and flushing them down the toilet or chewing them up and eating them are also not the normal Presidential Declassification Process either.
I wonder if he tried to eat the safe.

Hell, even the real photo is horrible.
Thing is judges always bend over backwards to kiss LE's enforcement butts. The worst is when SCOTUS granted LE qualified immunity.
Just look at this fucking case where a cop shot a 10 year old: [URL]https://reason.com/2019/07/16/court-rules-police-officer-who-shot-10-year-old-is-protected-by-qualified-immunity/[/URL].
"Would a reasonable police officer have known that he was violating a constitutional right? That is essentially the litmus test."
What this means is not if one in two officers would have shot the kid but one in a hundred would have done so then what the officer had done, shooting the kid, was legal. WTF is wrong with this country when a cop shooting an innocent kid is ok? But if you shot a kid? They would lock you up for life and sue the shit out of the gun manufacturer.
Do you think these cops would have kept their knee on George Floyd's neck if they would have lost their pension? Hell no. Because the courts gave LE the right to throw the Constitution in the trash, LE violates the civil rights of people all the time.
And now you assholes are spying on Trump again? The first time was not enough? How many fucking times do you fucking FBI assholes spy on presidents? If you are a dumbshit douche Democrat like Scattman do do. Pile on Pauline, or Bagdad Bob, you are cheering on the FBI while they completely diminish the power the average citizens has. Yeah, Trump cannot run for president because we say so. This FBI dipshits have already shown they have no respect for the average voter. Do you remember Strzok's texts? Stopping Trump? The smell of the Trump voter?
Seeing how this case has to be prosecuted in Florida, the FBI can forget about getting a conviction, and they fucking know it. Why would any Republican trust anything the FBI did after Russiagate? You had fucking Comey bragging about sabotaging Trump's presidency from day one when he went after Flynn. Just the way this warrant was handled was disgusting.
But it is not about that. Trump had dirt on the FBI, and a criminal investigation was the bullshit excuse they used to seize that information. That is all that makes sense. That is why the FBI is using the term search instead of raid and why they illegally went all over the house.
What happens to LE when they trample the 4th amendment like they did here? Nothing. They just have to throw out the evidence they illegally obtained. If this case makes its way to SCOTUS and it would, SCOTUS not only would toss all the illegally obtained evidence, they might toss the FBI's qualified immunity. That would allow Trump to sue the FBI into the next century which might actually force LE to be more human. The only way the FBI can prevent that is not bringing a case at all.
The FBI is going to try to seal all this evidence against them up for decades if they can. The shame of it all has been that it has been Democrats not Republicans leading the way on qualified immunity. WTF is up with LE breaking the most sacred law of our country and not being able to sued for shooting children? If Trump retracts qualified immunity, then and only then he can really fuck up the FBI.

What's Up Doc?
Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders. These include various maladaptations related to mood, behaviour, cognition, and perceptions. See glossary of psychiatry.
Initial psychiatric assessment of a person typically begins with a case history and mental status examination. Physical examinations and psychological tests may be conducted. On occasion, neuroimaging or other neurophysiological techniques are used. Mental disorders are often diagnosed in accordance with clinical concepts listed in diagnostic manuals such as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), edited and used by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the widely used Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The fifth edition of the DSM (DSM-5) was published in May 2013 which re-organized the larger categories of various diseases and expanded upon the previous edition to include information/insights that are consistent with current research.

CDC admits they are totally full of shit
New guidelines only recommend that people who have been exposed "wear a mask for 10 days" and get tested for the virus on day 5, according to the New York Times, a radical departure from the prior draconian measures which required self-imposed quarantines for as long as 14 days.
The CDC also doesn't recommend staying at least 6 feet away from other people to reduce the risk of exposure.
According to the same report, the new guidelines also say that contact tracing "should be limited to hospitals and certain high-risk group-living situations such as nursing homes". They also "de-emphasize the use of regular testing to screen for Covid-19, except in certain high-risk settings like nursing homes and prisons. ".
And just like that, the hysteria was over, but at least we all "followed the science".
And now natural immunity counts!
"We know that Covid-19 is here to stay. High levels of population immunity due to vaccination and previous infection, and the many tools that we have available to protect people from severe illness and death, have put us in a different place."
Not to mention, they also mark a drastic 180 degree shift from how the CDC was handling Covid over the past 24 months. But suddenly, with mid-term elections just months away, the new guidelines are being praised by health officials. Imagine that.
Michael Kriger tweeted, "My take on the new CDC guidance is they know nobody is listening to them anyway and they're trying to hang on to a sliver of credibility. But it's too late for that.
I and millions of others will never forget what we saw and what was done".
End of link. It is funny how the Democratic douches here blamed Trump when Biden said that if you got vaccinated, you cannot get Covid, and then the vaccinated Biden and Fauci got Covid. Thing is Covid is still as bad right now as it has been many times in the past. The hysteria has just died down. People just tuned it out. The Ukraine war cured Covid.
And blaming Trump for Biden lying is not only fucking stupid and pathetic, it is illogical. As seen in the clip JustTK linked, health and government officials in the UK, Canada, and Australia were also spouting the same wrong big Pharma propaganda bullshit Biden was.
So here we go again. Two years after subjecting us to the bullshit that was Russiagate led by the FBI, the unelected and almost all Democrats that make up our bureaucracy singlehandedly paralyzed the country again FOR nothing with Covid.
Of course, just like Russiagate, the Democratic douches will not acknowledge the damage they have done. It will be never mind all over again. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrbybKWwb7c[/URL].
I cannot wait to see someone get all those stupid six foot social distancing signs and set them on fire.

And the Trump search is blowing up in the FBI and Dems faces
Trump now is collecting tons of money in donations: [URL]https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/trump-shattering-all-fundraising-records-after-fbi-mar-lago-raid-son[/URL].
Then Trump told the DOJ to release all the documents.
"Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unamerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step further by encouraging the immediate release of those documents."
The FBI was looking for 'classified documents relating to nuclear weapons,' among other things, during its Monday raid at former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, WaPo reports, citing 'people familiar with the investigation.'
So hours after Merrick Garland says that DOJ only speaks through its filings in court, they go out and leak this story to the Washington Post.
Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed during a brief Thursday speech that he personally approved the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, and that the DOJ has asked a federal court to unseal the document.
Material about nuclear weapons is especially sensitive and usually restricted to a small number of government officials, experts said. Publicizing details about USA Weapons could provide an intelligence road map to adversaries seeking to build ways of countering those systems. And other countries might view exposing their nuclear secrets as a threat, experts said.
One former Justice Department official, who in the past oversaw investigations of leaks of classified information, said the type of top-secret information described by the people familiar with the probe would probably cause authorities to try to move as quickly as possible to recover sensitive documents that could cause grave harm to USA Security. -Washington Post.
So. We're to believe that the FBI took several boxes from Trump in June, told him to put a bigger lock, and then two months later realized 'oh -- he might have nuclear secrets' - justifying the raid.
So we assume the narrative will now be that Trump leaked, or could have leaked, nuclear secrets to Putin. Which justified "authorities to try to move as quickly as possible to recover sensitive documents" in the name of national security.
Right.
End of link. So the thing the WaPo story leaves out is Trump can declassify anything he wants, so this case has no chance in hell of winning and like I said before, the search was totally unconstitutional.
If the FBI precedes with this case, they will have to release the documents, and there is no way in hell they will. This all adds up to not a criminal charge against Trump but a criminal case whereby the FBI seized documents embarrassing to themselves.
I still cannot believe that nuclear shit. That technology is nearly 80 years old. What a fucking joke.

Of course, Trump turned it into another grift to beg for more money from his cult following suckers. He sent out an email asking for money the very next day. He's a con man grifter. That's what they do for a living. In Trump's case, he tapped into a pool of the dumbest suckers on the Planet.
How much money did you send him?

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2730708]New guidelines only recommend that people who have been exposed "wear a mask for 10 days" and get tested for the virus on day 5, according to the New York Times, a radical departure from the prior draconian measures which required self-imposed quarantines for as long as 14 days.
The CDC also doesn't recommend staying at least 6 feet away from other people to reduce the risk of exposure.
According to the same report, the new guidelines also say that contact tracing "should be limited to hospitals and certain high-risk group-living situations such as nursing homes". They also "de-emphasize the use of regular testing to screen for Covid-19, except in certain high-risk settings like nursing homes and prisons. ".
And just like that, the hysteria was over, but at least we all "followed the science".
And now natural immunity counts!
"We know that Covid-19 is here to stay. High levels of population immunity due to vaccination and previous infection, and the many tools that we have available to protect people from severe illness and death, have put us in a different place.[/QUOTE]Um. Elvis didn't include a link for it but the reason the CDC can now relax its recommendations is because vaccines work and, thanks to Joe Biden making the vaccines free and easily available, a high percentage of Americans have gotten at least one shot. Consequently, the risk of getting seriously ill, requiring hospitalization or dying when or if you do test positive is low enough to relax the recommendations.
Here is a link that clarifies the reason for it that was conspicuously missing from Elvis' rant above:

[QUOTE]The warrant directed agents to seize all physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed in violation of three laws related to handling of government documents.
The warrant indicates that statutes relating to espionage and obstruction of justice are the foundation for the search. Convictions under these statutes can bring fines or prison sentences.
One of the statutes, which relates to removing or destroying government records, includes a punishment of being disqualified from holding any office under the United States, according to the text of the law.
None of the three statutes Title 18 of the United States Code, Sections 793, 1519 and 2071 hinge on whether the documents in question were classified.[/QUOTE]

Really. No magic bubble. You can look it up.
See, without having been vaccinated and while he was still insisting no one need bother inventing or taking a vaccine for his Pandemic Virus because "it is disappearing. It will go away without a vaccine", Trump got so sick and near death after testing positive for it he had to be Operation Dumbo Dropped by helicopter to a hospital for emergency treatment by every known remedy except bleach and light beams in order to keep him alive so he could launch into his plan to lead a violent, cop-killing mob to attempt an overthrow of American democracy.
By stark contrast, when Biden tested positive after being vaccinated he continued working in the White House on his historic Inflation Reduction Act, his massive jobs creation and American strength and independence producing Chips and Science Act and the legislation to save American military veterans' lives after they were exposed to toxic burn pits despite the Repubs' objections to all of the above.
Huge difference.

[B]Former FBI Official Reads Warrant, Says 'This is Much More Serious'.
Chris Swecker, who was all over Fox TV and Fox Business questioning the search of Mar-A-Lago, is now backing off his original criticism.[/B]
[URL]https://crooksandliars.com/2022/08/former-fbi-official-reads-warrant-says[/URL]
[QUOTE]Sean Duffy, filling in for Laura Ingraham last night, asked former FBI official Chris Swecker for his view on another guest's contention that Trump did not violate any laws by taking classified documents to Mar-A-Lardo.
"Sean, these are heavyweight statutes," he argued.
"The first statute, 793, is basically the espionage statute. It talks about things that he may have done with the documents that would result in injury to this country and he did these things willfully. That is serious enough that is a ten-year penalty if hes convicted.
"Now, the third statute, which is the obstruction-related statute, carries a 20-year penalty and it alleges that he somehow impeded an ongoing matter, which could have been the grand jury investigation of what we now know is an espionage case. [b]So this is a much more serious case than just possession of classified documents.[/b]
He said it's clear the DOJ is alleging actions by Trump, which is much more serious.
Swecker appeared on Fox on the day of the search, and at that time, called it "absolutely wrong." Now that he's seen the warrant, he's walking it back.[/QUOTE]Notice how he totally dismisses the utterly irrelevant "classified vs declassified" issue with regard to Trump's potential serious prison time criminal liability.
The "classified vs declassified" bit is quickly being revealed to be this year's "Mueller found no 'collusion'" street hustle style misdirection from Trump's consistent and ongoing anti-American transgressions.

Then Trump told the DOJ to release all the documents.
"Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unamerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step further by encouraging the immediate release of those documents."
The FBI was looking for 'classified documents relating to nuclear weapons,' among other things, during its Monday raid at former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, WaPo reports, citing 'people familiar with the investigation.'
So hours after Merrick Garland says that DOJ only speaks through its filings in court, they go out and leak this story to the Washington Post.
Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed during a brief Thursday speech that he personally approved the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, and that the DOJ has asked a federal court to unseal the document.
Material about nuclear weapons is especially sensitive and usually restricted to a small number of government officials, experts said. Publicizing details about USA Weapons could provide an intelligence road map to adversaries seeking to build ways of countering those systems. And other countries might view exposing their nuclear secrets as a threat, experts said.
One former Justice Department official, who in the past oversaw investigations of leaks of classified information, said the type of top-secret information described by the people familiar with the probe would probably cause authorities to try to move as quickly as possible to recover sensitive documents that could cause grave harm to USA Security. -Washington Post.
So. We're to believe that the FBI took several boxes from Trump in June, told him to put a bigger lock, and then two months later realized 'oh -- he might have nuclear secrets' - justifying the raid.
So we assume the narrative will now be that Trump leaked, or could have leaked, nuclear secrets to Putin. Which justified "authorities to try to move as quickly as possible to recover sensitive documents" in the name of national security.
Right.
End of link. So the thing the WaPo story leaves out is Trump can declassify anything he wants, so this case has no chance in hell of winning and like I said before, the search was totally unconstitutional.
If the FBI precedes with this case, they will have to release the documents, and there is no way in hell they will. This all adds up to not a criminal charge against Trump but a criminal case whereby the FBI seized documents embarrassing to themselves.

The aggregate total being refunded $1 billion is down from $2 billion issued in 2021 and a record $2.5 billion in 2020.
The reason these rebates go out each year is related to a requirement that insurers spend at least 80% of premiums on health-care costs and reimburse policy holders for the difference if they do not meet that threshold.

By Jarrett Stepman.
. . Traditional Marxist ideas were adopted but changed in the 1920's by Italian communist Antonio Gramsci and others, and became the project of the Frankfurt school of critical theory. That new theory focused more on shaping culture, Lindsay said, marrying traditional Marxism with Freudian psychology and other social theories to change the way people think, , , "It has all of the conflict theory—separate the world into oppressor-versus-oppressed classes—with zero-sum conflict, no ability to agree or understand one another across those, and then takes on the postmodern understanding of truth being just politics by other means, which removes all of the brakes standing up against it," Lindsay said. Seeing the world through that lens is what constitutes wokeness.
Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation and author of the new book "The Plot to Change America: How Identity Politics Is Dividing the Land of the Free," explained how these ideas entered the workplace under the guise of combating racism and why they are so toxic. "Anti-racism training is a con," Gonzalez said. "These consultants get paid exorbitant amounts of money. Often these fees come from taxpayer funds. "
Though many of the advocates of wokeness are con artists, we have to take them seriously, Gonzalez said, because there is a strong ideological component to it.

[B]With Surge in July, U.S. Recovers the Jobs Lost in the Pandemic[/B]
[URL]https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/05/business/economy/july-jobs-report-gains.html[/URL]
[QUOTE]USA Job growth accelerated in July across nearly all industries, restoring nationwide employment to its prepandemic level, despite widespread expectations of a slowdown as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to fight inflation.
Employers added 528,000 jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis, the Labor Department said on Friday, more than doubling what forecasters had projected. The unemployment rate ticked down to 3. 5 percent, equaling the figure in February 2020, which was a 50-year low.[/QUOTE]Yes, we had three months of a 3. 5% unemployment rate under Trump, two of which occurred in early 2020. No great feat for someone that inherited a "Full Employment" 4. 7% and declining unemployment rate four years earlier.
And that was before his disastrous economic decisions in 2018 and in 2020 came to fruition and produced four months of double digit unemployment rates and wiped out millions upon millions of jobs as well as destroying global supply chains, closing down worldwide economies and triggering hyper-inflation that Biden had to tackle and tame:

Communism Is A Struggle For Liberty? LOL Move To North Korea Workers Paradise Then!
A better analysis is that it is a struggle between short term thinkers aka (Grasshoppers) vs. Long term thinkers aka (Ants).
Why Socialism Is Bad: The Parable Of The Ant & The Grasshopper.
During difficult economic times, Socialism becomes a popular ideology due to the increased amount of economic suffering. But there are some reasons why socialism is bad highlighted below.
When times are good, it's OK if others make a lot of money and do well, so long as you are also doing well. As soon as things turn bad, it then becomes curiously not OK if someone else continues to do well if you are struggling. Why can't we be happy for someone else? Why do we have to bring others down?
My parable: The ant worked hard all summer collecting food and preparing his home for winter. The grasshopper played all summer not doing any work.
When winter came the grasshopper had no food. No worries, the grasshopper elected a socialist leader that took away 40 percent of the ants food and gave it to the grasshopper.
The next year the ant decided that the new government would take care of him the same way so he played all summer too, as did all the other hard working producing ants.
When winter came, there was no food and they all starved to death.
This scenario played out in the America's early history. The Pilgrims started as a socialistic enterprise, which resulted in famine and starvation as the Ants realized they were working to benefit Grasshoppers and did the minimum. . .

So, right off the bat, that is why Biden and the Dems had to do it this time. Same reason FDR had to do it. And Clinton. And Obama. Etc. Even poor people are much, much better off today for their having done that than they were in January 2021.
Waiting for brave free market Capitalists to rush in with "their" money to pull us out of these consistent Great Repub Economic Disasters is really Waiting For Godot. He ain't coming.
Beyond that it has now become abundantly obvious from all available data, record of results and easily observable reality over the past 100 years that the Dems' version of Demand-Side tax and economic philosophy and agenda is far and away superior for avoiding deep recessions and massive job losses than the Repubs' idiotic Supply-Side philosophy and agenda, both of which require tax money to be spent somewhere for the benefit of somebody.
Yeah, compared to the massive job losses in the millions, plunging GDP growth and economic disaster that follows virtually every Repub "success" in getting their idiotic Supply-Side agenda into the system, who and where the Dems then must spend tax money to pull us out of it is better for everybody in every income bracket.
Please explain how Repubs giving the already wealthy disproportionately high tax cuts will ever produce as many jobs, improve GDP growth, expand the economy and avoid deeply damaging downturns anywhere near as effectively as the Dem methods have for at least a century.
The Biden / Dem Inflation Reduction Act is another in about a half dozen Biden legislative and stewardship achievements in just 18 months that have already and will continue to recover and create the jobs with higher wages that Trump's classic Repub methods and stewardship wiped out. And that is good and far better than the Repub alternative for any income bracket you want to cite.
Trump's Pandemic-triggered supply chain destruction hyper-inflation is being tamed by Biden's stewardship and the Fed doing what every Fed must do to tame it. Thanks to Biden / Dem policies and stewardship, jobs creation is at high levels and the unemployment rate is at a 50 year low. The last time inflation was as high, thanks to Ronald Reagan's classic Repub policies and agenda no jobs were being created and the unemployment rate was skyrocketing into 10%+ every month for almost a solid year!

Sources Allege Trump Stole Plans Revealing White House's Thermal Exhaust Port
MAR-A-LAGO — Anonymous sources are alleging that among the documents confiscated from Trump's residence were the top secret plans to the White House. These plans are said to reveal the building's only weakness: a thermal exhaust port only 2 meters wide.
"It's impossible to overstate just how close we came to losing our fully armed and operational Washington the. See. Along with over 80,000 IRS Stormtroopers," said FBI Director Wray. "A direct hit from an AR-15 on the thermal exhaust port on the southeast corner of the White House roof could have set off a chain reaction that would destroy the entire District of Columbia."
Sources also claimed that since Trump's sons had extensive experience bulls-eyeing baby elephants in Africa that are no larger than 2 meters, it was only a matter of time before "insurrectionist rebel scum" made a move to destroy the entire facility.
"Just think — Washington the. See. Could have been destroyed!" said Director Wray. "The FBI just saved Washington the. See. !" Reports confirmed that FBI approval plunged another 12 points after the release of Wray's statement to the American public. . .
At publishing time, sources confirmed that Trump also had possession of the One Ring, which is now being safely returned to the nation's capital. . .

Today we voted out a traitor
Wyoming Proud: Today I along with great Americans voted out a traitor of the state of Wyoming. Cheney is gone. No longer a democrat puppet and no longer shafting Wyoming. Harriet Hageman campaigned by visiting all of Wyoming. Cheney campaigned on trashing Trump. Cheney conceded after only 47% of the vote was in because she was already beat. Even with 5000 democrats changing to republicans this week to vote for her she was thrashed. Great day for the USA.

A wonderful result
Following a dark week in which the Washington swamp crossed the rubicon by weaponizing the security agencies against a former president and heralded the beginning of the end of the current American republic, the great people of Wyoming have responded magnificently.
Liz Cheney is a member of a leading swamp family. Her father was an architect of the catastrophic Zionist war on Iraq, which began the long-term decline of American wealth, power and prestige. She betrayed her position and voters to stab President Trump in the back.
The swamp wanted desperately for her to retain her seat. They threw everything at it: wall-to-wall fawning coverage of her across the fake news media; she was boosted and promoted on social media; her coffers were filled with the usual shady swamp money; and democrat voters were urged to switch registration (which they could do at only two weeks' notice) to vote for her in the primary.
They failed miserably.
It wasn't even close. Donald Trump's candidate Harriet Hageman received more than twice as many votes, 66% to 28%. The sheer scale of this utter rejection of not only the vile traitor Cheney but the vast swamp establishment machine behind her is quite magnificently breathtaking. For an incumbent to lose in such a landslide is unprecedented.
I salute and congratulate the great American people of Wyoming, who have done us all proud and given us hope and strength in our long war against the Washington swamp that hates and wants to destroy us. Trump 2024.

I guess since you can't explain why Biden policies are not helping Americans that you agree with me that spending billions on climate control and IRS agents will not help the American people. Thanks.[/QUOTE]So you're stuck on what hiring more IRS agents will do for America? How about collect the taxes due the country from typical deadbeat tax dodging Repubs to pay for the things in Biden's historic legislation that most Americans have wanted done for decades.
Remember Do Nothing Trump's 4 consecutive years of zero results "Infrastructure Week"?
Roads, bridges, schools, mass transit, etc?
Yeah, Biden got that done. With a bipartisan vote and with a 50-50 split Senate. Amazing what a real POTUS can do in just 18 months when he isn't spending half of his "work" week cheating on his golf scorecard and the other half jerking off in delight over his latest insulting tweet.
It is shocking that someone even needs to explain what hiring more IRS agents will do to improve a country where proud Repub deadbeats and tax dodgers make up almost half of the polulation.
Now deadbeat tax dodging Repubs will have to pay for the things most Americans want done instead of sending all of their money to Trump's nonexistent Election Defense Fund and Steve Bannon's nonexistent Save The Wall Fund.
Climate? Well, Trump utterly failed to accomplish a damn thing for coal miners in four long years even though I could swear that was supposed to be some big deal election-winning difference between him and Hillary.
So how about we invest in much better renewable energy options for the future, lead the world in that inevitable industry and stop having to lick Trump's boyfriend's ass ever again?
The "worst" niggling imperfect detail among all of the historic and positive legislation Biden has gotten done in just 18 months will provide more beneficial results for more Americans and improve their lives better than the most crowed about nothingness that still wound up wiping out millions of American jobs in all of the Repub-led legislation of at least the past 50 years. Maybe 100 years.

Is it another weird plea to help Repubs win more elections by throwing votes at goofy Third Party non entities or something?
You do realize we are in the middle of a fight to save American democracy from total destruction at the hands of a loony America-hating cult that has been the incremental Frankenstein Monster creation of the Republican Party over the past 100+ years, right?
Yeah. Ok. Sweet idea that "Third Party" thingy. But here's a Bulletin: it ain't going to happen in your or your great grand kids' lifetimes.
It will only help more Repubs get elected so they can really swing into action fulfilling their only goal and notable accomplishment over the past Century; finding exciting new ways to plunge America into a deep Recession and wipe out millions of American jobs.
LOL. Someone likened these bizarre calls for a "Third Party" at such a moment to being involved in a bloody knife fight to the death and suddenly stopping to consider, "You know, I probably should cut back on sugar and lose a couple of pounds. "
Uh. Yeah. Losing a couple of pounds is always a good idea. But for the love of god this is not the moment to stop the far more deadly serious task at hand to even think about it.

Oh No and Double No!
Not long ago there was an atypical Repub advantage over Dems for control of Congress in the Consensus / Poll of Polls Generic Ballot question. Got a lot of giddy MSM attention.
All gone now.
The highly regarded FiveThirtyEight polling service has shown a steady and unrelentingly growing Dem advantage on that question for weeks:
[URL]https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/[/URL]
The demonstrably Repub / Winger-leaning RealClearPolitics polling site struggled mightily to avoid updating their ongoing average, waiting in vain for another and another even more Repub / Winger-leaning Rasmussen or Trafalgar poll to come along that they could factor in to save the day and keep that weird and temporary Repub advantage going.
But even that one has finally given up the ghost and now it shows the Dems in the lead as the country's preference to control Congress as usual:
[URL]https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/2022-generic-congressional-vote-7361.html[/URL]
Meanwhile, Joe Biden as POTUS remains the most favorably rated and with the highest Job Approval rating, by far, than any other elected leader or entity in the Federal Government that can do anything to solve the historic horrific across-the-board problems for America that Trump left behind.

Irs
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2732881]So you're stuck on what hiring more IRS agents will do for America? How about collect the taxes due the country from typical deadbeat tax dodging Repubs to pay for the things in Biden's historic legislation that most Americans have wanted done for decades.
Remember Do Nothing Trump's 4 consecutive years of zero results "Infrastructure Week"?
Roads, bridges, schools, mass transit, etc?
Yeah, Biden got that done. With a bipartisan vote and with a 50-50 split Senate. Amazing what a real POTUS can do in just 18 months when he isn't spending half of his "work" week cheating on his golf scorecard and the other half jerking off in delight over his latest insulting tweet.
It is shocking that someone even needs to explain what hiring more IRS agents will do to improve a country where proud Repub deadbeats and tax dodgers make up almost half of the polulation.
Now deadbeat tax dodging Repubs will have to pay for the things most Americans want done instead of sending all of their money to Trump's nonexistent Election Defense Fund and Steve Bannon's nonexistent Save The Wall Fund..[/QUOTE]Yes more Republicans will be audited than democrats for the simple reason democrats are to lazy to work. They do not run the millions of small businesses that make America great. They wait for government handouts. They are in the government's assistance programs like welfare. They will not audit democrats on unemployment insurance either.
Lead the world in renewable energy. Let the rest of the world prosper while USA goes into recession. Let the world pollute USA while our citizens starve and live in poverty. 40% of the population will not be able to afford electricity if we get to 50% green energy. There will be rolling blackouts in every state every week.
By the way. Biden has not got one bridge built or any infrastructure done at all. All the infrastructure money went for green energy and social programs. You guys just get dumber daily.

Trump Voter Excited To See Whether he'll Get Raided By FBI Or Gunned Down By IRS
DENVER, CO — Local man Walter Bishop is reportedly excited to find out whether he will soon be raided by the FBI or gunned down by the IRS. The longtime conservative is reportedly ecstatic to show people how right he was about the slippery slope he's been warning everyone about.
"This is terrific!" he told next-door neighbor Phil Astrototop. "I wonder which it will be — a raid or an epic showdown with IRS agents. ".
Phil, a moderate Democrat disapproved of Bishop's oddly gleeful attitude. "Nothing's going to happen, man. It's not like you're breaking the law. Don't do anything wrong and the government won't bother you. ".
Bishop laughed. "That's what you think! I voted for Trump. I guarantee they're coming for me. You'll see, I'm right!
Friends and family members of Walter Bishop are concerned that his optimistic anticipation of a pessimistic event may be a mental disorder.
Quote We're really worried about him, unquote said Bishop's wife. "Also he's kind of scaring me. I don't want to be raided by the FBI! They'll see my unmentionables!
At publishing time, the home of Phil Astrototop was raided by a team of federal agents working in conjunction with the IRS but, because Astrototop is a known Democrat, Walter Bishop was unable to gloat that he had been quote right all along unquote. . .

Great post
[QUOTE=ChrisP;2732772]Following a dark week in which the Washington swamp crossed the rubicon by weaponizing the security agencies against a former president and heralded the beginning of the end of the current American republic, the great people of Wyoming have responded magnificently.
Liz Cheney is a member of a leading swamp family. Her father was an architect of the catastrophic Zionist war on Iraq, which began the long-term decline of American wealth, power and prestige. She betrayed her position and voters to stab President Trump in the back.
The swamp wanted desperately for her to retain her seat. They threw everything at it: wall-to-wall fawning coverage of her across the fake news media; she was boosted and promoted on social media; her coffers were filled with the usual shady swamp money; and democrat voters were urged to switch registration (which they could do at only two weeks' notice) to vote for her in the primary.
They failed miserably.
It wasn't even close. Donald Trump's candidate Harriet Hageman received more than twice as many votes, 66% to 28%. The sheer scale of this utter rejection of not only the vile traitor Cheney but the vast swamp establishment machine behind her is quite magnificently breathtaking. For an incumbent to lose in such a landslide is unprecedented.
I salute and congratulate the great American people of Wyoming, who have done us all proud and given us hope and strength in our long war against the Washington swamp that hates and wants to destroy us. Trump 2024.[/QUOTE]Great post. Very true.

[QUOTE]President Donald Trump lied about The Apprentice's television ratings because he knew he could, according to former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush. Bush famously discussed grabbing women by the "pussy" with Trump, in a video that leaked toward the end of the 2016 presidential election.
Bush told Real Time host Bill Maher Friday night that Trump has no qualms about misrepresenting the truth, especially when it comes to TV ratings. Bush recalled confronting Trump at one point about his numbers, USA Today reported.
[b]"He'd been saying it's No. 1 forever and finally, I'd had enough," Bush told Maher. "I told him, 'Wait a minute, you haven't been No. 1 for like five years not in any category, not in any demo.' [/b]He goes, 'Did you see last Thursday? Last Thursday, 18-49, the last five minutes.' "
Bush added that[b] "Later, when the cameras were off, he said, 'Billy, look, you just tell them and they believe it. That's it: you just tell them and they believe. They just do.'"[/b]
Maher sighed, "And that's where we are. He can do that to America now. It's what he does all the time: he just says it and they believe it."[/QUOTE]

Trump was in charge when that happened.
In fact, Trump was more responsible for ensuring that it would have to happen until enough time and cases were studied from that novel coronavirus to know what the hell was needed or not needed to tackle it han any other world leader including China's Xi.
Trump was arguably more responsible for having to take those drastic measures to deal with it than any other individual on the planet.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2733778]Media Matters? David Brock is the Rush Limbaugh of the left, pushing the same ridiculous conspiracy theories you are.

Thus the NYT from their left wing prospective was true to character to complain, and wasn't secretly plotting to help Republicans. LOL But rather than address their concerns and that of other left leaning outlets, you just dive on the conspiracy theory and start tooting your horn. LOL.

Proof was substantiated in first month of Biden Presidency
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2733769]And you have not provided one iota of evidence or proof that Biden had anything whatsoever to do with leading any proxy war anywhere.

Ridiculous.[/QUOTE]Proof was established in first month of Biden presidency. Biden weakness in stands with Russia, Iran, China and Afghanistan showed the world that USA was weak. Putin did exactly what he did the last time USA had a weak president. He invaded Ukraine. He knew that Biden would do absolutely nothing and he was right. The proof is in the history books. 2 week presidents and 2 wars. Yes both these week presidents are to blame. History shows they did not invade Ukraine when Trump was president. No denying it.

After Seeing The Jump In Trump's Poll Numbers, Biden Orders FBI To Raid His House Too
Washington DC — According to sources close to the Biden Administration, President Biden responded to seeing Trump's jump in poll numbers by ordering the FBI to raid his house too.
These orders come at a time when Biden's approval rating has reached record lows, due to 20 consecutive months of unfortunate disasters that allegedly had nothing to do with Biden or his policies, but were the fault of everyone else, especially Trump.
"Hey, FBI guys, I could use some of those higher poll numbers," wrote President Biden on a piece of paper before shoving it under the basement door in hopes that one of his handlers on the outside would deliver it to an FBI guy. "P. S. , I could also use another diaper change right about now. ".
At publishing time, Biden had instructed — via letters shoved under the door — that groundskeepers plant a few palm trees in the Rose Garden and that everyone call The White House by its new name, Mar-a-Lago, DC. . .

Yes, it's America that's totally responsible for Russia's unprovoked and criminal war against Ukraine.
Yes, whenever Russia (and probably China by extension) throws a temper-tantrum, we must duck down and play dead.
How does America lead a "proxy war" against Russia? There are no troops and no NATO involvement in Ukraine. If anything, we are too cautious, too slow, too conservative in supplying Ukrainians who are dying in droves to protect Europe from hordes of mass murderers armed to the teeth.
It's the America First "patriots" like you and Drama Queen who 85 years ago enabled Hitler to massacre tens of millions in Europe by not letting Roosevelt act until it was almost too late. It took Germany to declare a war on the US to temporarily disband that evil cult of American isolationism, and yet it rears its ugly head over and over again. It doesn't matter to them that they've ALWAYS been on the wrong side of history.
Damn, what a gullible breed! (q).

USA sponsored a Ukrainian coup in 2014 (under Dem, Obama) to remove a Russian-sympathetic president, replace it with US-puppets, and continues to support it ever since. [/QUOTE]This is all true. The CIA literally overthrew a democratically-elected pro-Russian president in a violent coup in 2014 (a genuine armed insurrection, not just some unarmed people walking through open doors and taking selfies then going home) and ever since then the CIA Washington swamp puppet government has been oppressing Russian-speakers in the Ukraine by banning them from using their language, shutting down their TV stations and political parties, and shelling their towns.
But even that would not have driven Russia to invade. It was when the puppet government announced it was going to join NATO, which would have meant US military bases and nukes on the Russian border just a few miles from Moscow, that Russia was finally provoked a step too far. Now the Washington swamp is forcing Ukraine to fight to the last Ukrainian (except for Ukrainian Jews, who were all airlifted out to Israel by their fellow Jew Zelensky right at the start of the war) in order to keep their massive taxpayer-funded military-industrial complex grift going.
But the swamp has completely fucked up. Russia is winning the war and Putin's approval ratings have gone up, as has the value of the ruble. Russia has strengthened its alliances with China, India, Iran and others, and they are now working on a plan to supplant the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency. Russia, Iran and China have realized that they already have everything they need (food, fertilizer, raw materials, energy, manufacturing) and most of what America sells them (Netflix, Facebook, McDonalds) is shit that they are better off without. Most of Asia and Africa is turning toward them too, because they are sick of America trying to force globohomo feminism and faggotry on them and their kids.
And meanwhile we are $30 trillion in debt and growing.
What the swamp has done in the last 21 years could be called "How to screw up a seemingly impregnable position as world's top country". Things are going to get a lot worse in America in the years to come. But in the long long run, once we clear out the trash and rebuild, it will get better.

4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things.
[blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue]. Yes, you may have to respond to a subpoena, but you do not have to comply with it. Viliany and Eih do not care about civil rights because they do not live in the USA. They cheer on the government as they shred the Constitution.
A FBI subpoena in Trump's case would be a request for documents. Trump then would have the choice to hand over said documents or go to court and tell the court why he does not need to release them. If Trump goes to court, the FBI has to give a reason they need the records. Furthermore, whatever decision the magistrate or judge makes, that decision can be revoked by a higher court immediately.
The ONLY legitimate reason IMO to get a warrant versus use a subpoena is if there was evidence the records would be destroyed, but the FBI waited days after the warrant was signed to execute it and in doing so, they stepped on their dick.
The last sentence of the 4th amendment has come with the understanding that a warrant has to be limited in time, place, and scope, and this warrant was not so it is illegal. The whole purpose with the search restrictions was that you cannot go into the home of someone you do not like and look for something illegal. This warrant was for every document Trump looked at as president.
Now the question is what other parts were illegal. What was the probable cause? That is confidential. And the affidavit? Yeah, that is sealed too. And the warrant was signed by a magistrate who was anything but neutral. So everything was sleazy.
What you are hoping if you are the FBI is you can find something that Trump did that is so bad that all this illegal and inappropriate actions can be justified.
The FBI brought in 30 agents with machine guns to get pieces of paper. Maybe you can come up with an explanation of why the FBI did what it did, but I cannot, and neither can Matt Taibbi:
The timeline of leaked explanations of the raid is mind-boggling. Anonymous officials started by telling us the case was linked to Trump having "delayed returning 15 boxes of material requested by. The National Archives," then it was "classified documents relating to nuclear weapons," then it was fear Trump could reveal "sources and methods," then it was possible Espionage Act violations. By Saturday, former "national security prosecutor" Barb McQuade went on MSNBC to explain the "brilliant tactical move" of using the Espionage Act, since it doesn't "require the documents to be classified" (we'the been told all week this was about classified material). The next day, CBS published news of a joint FBI / DHS bulletin warning of "armed rebellion," "civil war," and a "dirty bomb attack," and the day after that, we were told FBI "filter agents" did, then didn't seize, then did again seize Donald Trump's passports, but returned them in the end.
One by one, these explanations have been shot down. Trump can declassify whatever he wants. The nuclear explanation makes no sense. The Feds waited nearly two years to retract that information? Why? And Trump refused to give those documents you wanted back so you had to come in with 30 armed agents? Trump denied holding back anything.
The only explanation that makes sense to me is this one, A report in Newsweek citing USA Intelligence officials has claimed that one of the main purposes of the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago was to find documents that President Trump had collected and intended to use as proof to put to bed once and for all the Russian collusion conspiracy theory.
Bill Maher was trying to say that Republicans saying defunding the FBI is hypocritical because they are the law and order party. I would say to Bill, "Where have you been? The FBI has broken the law time and again. " It is so obvious that The FBI leadership is a de facto wing of the Democratic party.
Then he said Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray were good guys who would only do this if necessary. Yes, the same Merrick Garland who called Virginia parents terrorists, and the same Chrisopher Wray who let Russiagate go forward and had the FBI sit on Hunter Biden's laptop during Ukrainegate.
I would not be shocked to see Democrats be befuddled at that last comment. Yes, the FBI had Hunter Biden's laptop the whole time Ukrainegate was going on. The guy who turned in the laptop to the FBI said that he thought he was doing the right thing in bringing an obvious criminal to justice has since said the FBI's role with keeping the laptop was protecting the Bidens.
Back to Taibbi: Moreover, they'll have guaranteed that the next Republican who wins the White House, if such a thing is allowed again, will tug at every rein of power to prevent ever having to leave and risk this kind of prosecution.
If such a thing is allowed to happen again? WTF?
What I have noticed is the Democrats start a brand new kind of abuse, and the Republicans strike back 10 x as hard. And so before you start thinking the FBI is only going after Trump and not you, what makes you think that it will stay that way? What makes you think a partisan Republican FBI or LE will not trash the 4th amendment like they did with Trump and come after you as Democrats? Wouldn't you prefer that lawyers hash things out in a courtroom versus via armed officers with machine guns?
And the reason Trump's poll numbers were up must be confusing Dems, so let me help you out there. I am not voting for Trump in 2024 but voting for the Constitution and against a hyperpartisan FBI that I think only Trump might be able to fix. You Dems should be more upset about the FBI trashing the Constitution than getting Trump, but I know you are not, and that is why I HAVE to vote for him.

If you are a Democrat
You love government. In fact, if I were to ask a Democrat how the CDC performed with Covid, I would imagine they gave them an A. Thing is I trashed the government so badly people started calling me Elvirus. I was particularly incensed at Colombia implementing a worthless travel ban harming the people of Colombia for no scientifically proven reason.
The CDC did not beat Covid. They surrendered to it. [URL]https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/covid-here-stay-cdc-concedes-after-two-years-orwellian-hysteria[/URL].
"Covid Is Here to Stay," CDC Concedes After Two Years Of Orwellian Hysteria.
So yeah, all the masking, hand sanitizers, social distancing, lockdowns, and vaccines did not do shit, but if you love government, you just blow this off, "Hey, they were trying to help. " Is that an excuse for being this wrong? And with me, was I trying to hurt people by saying this the last 2 years?
And here is another one: It's Over: CDC Says People Exposed To COVID No Longer Need To Quarantine. [URL]https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/cdc-says-people-exposed-covid-no-longer-need-quarantine-deemphasizes-regular-testing-except[/URL].
For those of you who do not know, I said the way Covid should be handled is you avoid sick people. I was told by some fool that would not cut it. Two years later, the CDC is saying the same thing.
And the CDC was not honest about how safe the vaccine was. [URL]https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/cdc-admits-it-gave-false-information-about-covid-19-vaccine-surveillance[/URL].
CDC Admits It Gave False Information About COVID-19 Vaccine Surveillance.
And another one: Federal Government To Stop Paying For COVID Shots, Tests, & Treatments.
[URL]https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/federal-government-stop-paying-covid-shots-tests-and-treatments[/URL]
Pfizer and Moderna racked up $79 billion in Covid vaccine sales in 2021 alone, the Journal reports, with sales juiced by public health officials' false claims of efficacy, coupled with coercive vaccination requirements imposed by governments, schools and employers.
And who could forget this?
[URL]https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/09/covid-vaccines-pfizer-ceo-says-people-who-spread-misinformation-on-shots-are-criminals.html[/URL]
Pfizer CEO says people who spread misinformation on Covid vaccines are 'criminals'.
And now there is this:
[URL]https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/pfizer-ceo-tests-positive-covid-19-mild-symptoms-88403251[/URL]
Pfizer CEO tests positive for COVID-19.
Sigh, here we go again with another blowhard who knows all about Covid like Fauci and Biden and he gets sick with Covid. Yeesh.
If Fauci, Biden, and this Pfizer CEO were allowed to be sued for what they said about Covid, they would be sued into the next century but because they are protected, you dumb Dems think they are fine. You Dems cannot wait to throw away our freedoms as long as it shows you care, I. E. Virtue signaling. If you are a Dem, you do not care about freedom. You care if the government "likes" you.
Not only has the USA government tossed our freedoms, they made it okay for foreign countries to trash theirs. I flew back from Mexico City last week and everyone on the plane had a mask. I have flown Spirit and United back and the first thing we do is get in the plane and take off the mask but not on Aeromexico. I guess the Mexican government and Aeromexico has not gotten the memo that the war against Covid has been lost / surrendered.
When the government took us into lockdowns for political purposes, they did not allow the immune systems of children to develop, and there have been explosions of a different type of virus, RSV, to cause pandemics, so the notion that lockdowns did no harm, and they clearly did with this and mental health, was complete bullshit.
The government's war on Covid gets a F from me. In the end, they did no good whatsoever and caused enormous harm. It sickens me that those who performed so poorly are not being held liable for being so wrong.

The people who are doing this are bolsheviks. Literally, if you look at their ethno-religious background, it is the same as most of the bolsheviks who caused such untold horrors and bloodshed in Russia 100 years ago. Trotsky, Sverdlov, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Uritsky, Sokolnikov, Kaganovich and others then. Garland, Schiff, Schumer, Nadler, Zucker, Zuckerberg, and many more in the swamp now.
100 years ago they used their "law enforcement", known initially as the Cheka then the NKVD (the FBI of its day) to terrorize, raid and drag away their political opponents in the middle of the night.
And not only the high ranking opponents. Anyone from any group they took a dislike to. They had a vast network of prison camps known as The Gulag Archipelago. Read or listen to the Solzhenitsyn book, it's an eye-opener. As Donald Trump said, "they're not coming after me. They're coming after you. I'm just in the way. ".
If they manage to destroy Trump and other serious high-level opponents, there will be nobody to stop them forcing through more rigged elections, the destruction of the Second Amendment, followed by the destruction of groups that they hate, such as straight white men. Any pushback will be dealt with by their "law enforcement", as it was 100 years ago in Russia.
Soviet citizens had all kinds of "rights" on paper, but everyone knew they were just goyim to do as they were told or face the gulag. That is the situation these latter-day bolsheviks want in America.

See, lazy Do Nothings like Trump join up with a political party, the Repubs, that think it's cool to hate government and refuse to fund it and use it for the good of its citizens. Which is fine if your "government" is a monarchy or a dictatorship.
But seeing how the USA government is of, by and for the American people, going to war against the American government, as the Repub Party has done since at least Reagan, is going to war against the American people.
Which explains the consistent crap results FOR the American people that we invariably get from Repub economic and National Security decisions and stewardship.
The consistent crap results isn't about bad luck, weird economic cycles or conspiracies against them. It is what the Repub Party sees as their entire goal and mission, the only thing they know how to do and want to do. Because they hate this government of, by and for the American people.

Nope. Trump never had that system. It never happened.
So far, every former Trump Admin offical agrees and none has said otherwise; moron Trump's claim is ludicrous, fictional, BS nonsense.

[B]CNN Exclusive: 'Ludicrous.' 'Ridiculous.' 'A complete fiction.': Former Trump officials say his claim of 'standing order' to declassify is nonsense[/B]
[URL]https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/18/politics/trump-claim-standing-order-declassify-nonsense-patently-false-former-officials/index.html[/URL]
[QUOTE]....
But 18 former top Trump administration officials tell CNN they never heard any such order issued during their time working for Trump, and that they believe the claim to be patently false.
Several officials laughed at the notion. One senior administration official called it "bullsh*t." Two of Trump's former chiefs of staff went on the record to knock down the claim.
"Nothing approaching an order that foolish was ever given," said John Kelly, who served as Trump's chief of staff for 17 months from 2017 to 2019. "And I can't imagine anyone that worked at the White House after me that would have simply shrugged their shoulders and allowed that order to go forward without dying in the ditch trying to stop it."
....
[b]'It can't just be an idea in his head'[/b]
Even if Trump had sought to broadly declassify documents, there is a specific process that the president is supposed to follow, the officials said. Declassification must be memorialized and includes careful reviews and notifying agencies such as the CIA, NSA, Department of Energy, State Department and Defense Department.
....
And a source familiar with White House records and declassification said Trump's claim was "laughable" and that if any such order existed, it was "Trump's best kept secret."
Multiple sources said they believed that Trump's claim the documents were declassified was nothing more than a transparent attempt to try to defend himself for taking the documents to Mar-a-Lago.
"There is a process to declassify, the president can't just wave a magic wand," a former senior Trump White House official said.

Oh, and there is no "magic wand" option:[/QUOTE]Oh, CNN says that? Okay, who does have the right to declassify if not the president? The FBI decides what should be classified and what is not?
This is another ludicrous trial balloon for probable cause the FBI is floating and it is going over like a fart in church. Trump can declassify whatever he wants, and the Supreme Court will eventually back him on this.
And the CIA just declassified a million pages of documents in 2014. Among those "top secret" documents were UFO sightings, stories about area 51, and a recipe for invisible ink that was used in World War one.
The one thing I can guarantee you of is whatever "classified" documents the FBI took, they are going to sit on this it for decades. Regardless, this is a sematic issue that should have been handled by lawyers in a court room and not with federal agents wielding machine guns.

Wow.
Then there is no use in my trying to educate you any further about it.
But for everyone else; the vaccines have worked as predicted to reduce the instance of serious illness or death for those infected with Trump's Pandemic virus everywhere on the planet.
Trump did not "have it under control", it did not "disappear" and "go away without a vaccine" as Trump knowingly lied about it for most of a critical year when his self-serving lies were busy creating Trump's Pandemic, crashing worldwide economies, mass murdering millions, wiping out millions of jobs and global supply chains and damn near died from it himself pre vaccine if not for extraordinary immediate emergency treatment and measures taken that few outside of presidents have at hand and on call 24/7 for just such an occasion.

Now, to examine Trump's flights: "In a flight log from June 1994, Trump's name appears alongside "Marla"—presumably his then-wife Marla Maples—his then-baby daughter Tiffany, and a nanny. ".
"Trump's son Eric is listed on a flight in August 1995 from Palm Beach to New York. Eric Trump would have been 11 years old at the time of that flight. ".
Ah. So Trump took a few flights with his wife and children. This was also in the mid-90's, when less was known about Epstein's predilections. When they became clear, Trump banned him from Mar a Lago.
The Clinton flights (26 at least) were several years later, when the secret was out. Clinton certainly wasn't travelling with Crooked Hillary and the White House Dog. In fact, on several occasions, he wasn't even travelling with his Secret Service detail, whom he jettisoned against protocol.
Why would he do that?

100 years ago they used their "law enforcement", known initially as the Cheka then the NKVD (the FBI of its day) to terrorize, raid and drag away their political opponents in the middle of the night.
And not only the high ranking opponents. Anyone from any group they took a dislike to. They had a vast network of prison camps known as The Gulag Archipelago.

Here's what you guys don't get. The Mango Mussolini can not simply issue a "proclamation" and say that 'everything I want to declassify is hereby declassified'. Can't happen.
The NARA asked nicely several times that Donnie the Dumbass turn over all of the classified documents in his possession. He didn't. He even had one of his idiot lawyers sign a letter saying that Hair Furor had no more classified documents. Then some patriot contacted the DOJ and said that the Orange Menace lied. (Gee, what a surprise) Hence the raid.
And, once again, FUX Snooze said that the raid was proper.
In truth, the Orange Menace thought that having classified documents was "cool". Just like that shiny new toy he unwrapped at Christmas. "According to former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, the now 76-year-old Trump treated classified information as "his own shiny toy he's showing off to his friends to impress them" — and his eagerness to share the info, she added, often trumped any fear that it might put lives in danger.

Herschel Walker's Anti-Tree Campaign ROFL
Here's a sample:
"Consider just one of the bright lights of the Trump-selected Senate slate: former pro football star Herschel Walker, who is running away with the ideas primary. At a time when few in the GOP are offering more than doom-and-gloom pronouncements about crime, immigration and inflation, Walker, the Republican nominee in Georgia, gets the Heisman for creative policies. Democrats such as President Biden and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), Walker declared, 'try to fool you like they're helping you out, but they're not. They're not helping you out, because a lot of the money is going into trees. You know that, don't you? It's going into trees. We've got enough trees. Don't we have enough trees around here?

Another gentle reminder for the revisionist historians
Remember when Trump was not only very much in favor of staying at home, going nowhere, no crowd gatherings, onerous social distancing (otherwise known as national and statewide business closures) by stubbornly rejecting all expert warnings not to make really stupid and dangerous decisions that, sure enough, laid the groundwork for and created Trump's Pandemic in the first place but he also issued national guidelines for it in order to deal with his Pandemic until he was certain the states would continue his business closure guidelines anyway?
I think some of you must have forgotten:
[B]White House's Social Distancing Guidelines Will Be 'Fading Out,' Trump Says

[QUOTE]...This comes as governors have struggled with the competing interests of reopening their economies and keeping their communities safe.
...
The original two-week guidelines that were extended 30 more days called for Americans to work from home, limit travel and avoid large gatherings.
Vice President Pence said the existing guidelines were being applied to the new guidance issued by the White House on how states can reopen safely.
...
Two weeks ago, the White House released a three-phase plan that provides guidelines for when states might reopen.
The proposal is predicated on states having a downward trajectory of confirmed cases, and it involves states having the capacity to treat all hospitalized patients, test health care workers and trace contacts of those infected.[/QUOTE]

The document issue
As explained in the following quote by the one-term, twice-impeached former guy: "I didn't take the documents, but if I did take the documents, they weren't classified, and if they were classified, then they were planted, and if they weren't, I declassified them, and if I didn't, then it's a hoax.

Dr. Oz Reveals 1 Weird Trick To Getting Crushed In An Election By Violent Stroke Vict
Dr. Oz Reveals One Weird Trick To Getting Crushed In An Election By A Violent Stroke Victim.
BRYN ATHYN PA — Pennsylvania voters are on the edge of their seats today as Senate Candidate Mehmet Oz has promised to reveal one weird trick to getting crushed in a Senate race by a violent stroke victim.
"Once I show you this little-known secret, you too will be able to lose a race for political office, even if your opponent is a violent racist who chases down black joggers with shotguns and recently had a stroke and can barely talk!" said Oz to a group of supporters. "Stay tuned after the commercial break to find out how!
Experts are speculating what Oz's secret to being such a bad Republican candidate might be. Possibilities range from frequent gaffes and cringeworthy campaign commercials to him being a left-wing progressive. "It's quite possible that his past outspoken support for abortion and radical gender ideology might be hurting his chances with voters who don't like abortion and radical gender ideology," said one political consultant.
At publishing time, Oz had also promised to reveal 10 ancient secrets for burning belly fat without dieting or exercising to anyone who votes for him. . .

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2735390]
Here's what you guys don't get. The Mango Mussolini can not simply issue a "proclamation" and say that 'everything I want to declassify is hereby declassified'. Can't happen.[/QUOTE]Outside of nuclear secrets and the location of spies, that is exactly what a Supreme Court case said, but it is a distraction. This has not been about charging Trump with a crime but retrieval of documents embarrassing to the FBI, Obama, and Biden.
What most Republicans find distasteful is the FBI raid was authorized by a hack judge. What bothers me is the warrant was illegal. A warrant has to be limited in time, place, and scope, and this warrant was not. It also was not signed by a neutral party. The magistrate who signed the warrant already recused himself from a Trump case and by his own admission and was not neutral.
Thing is that the warrant being illegal will not be judged as such unless there is a criminal case, and there will not be. If there were a real judge versus a partisan hack, the warrant would have been limited to the place the documents were kept and limited to just the supposedly classified documents, and there would have been no reason to seal anything outside of the content of the classified documents.
The nuclear secrets bullshit not only has been shot down by Trump but was just an excuse floated by the FBI to say Trump cannot declassify everything. Waiting almost two years to retrieve nuclear secrets is beyond dumb. Trump is also saying release everything because the documents are embarrassing to the FBI, Obama, and Biden.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2735390]But just keep on drinkin' that orange KoolAid.[/QUOTE]Nah, you are drinking the FBI KoolAid if you think the FBI is an objective body versus Biden's praetorian guard. The FBI works for Biden not the American citizens.
IMO the 4th amendment is really the most important amendment in the constitution. It means your stuff is your stuff, and it says the government cannot kill you as you own your body. It places limits on searches and seizures.
Being a Trump hating Dem, that is all you care about, getting Trump. You are too clueless to see how we do not even have a 4th amendment with these general warrants and hack judges. The police / FBI can raid anyone's home and find something illegal, and if they do not find something, they can plant whatever they want. The FBI even took Trump's passport.
I think a lot of Republicans were on the fence with Trump but now they are not. You are no longer voting for Trump but against the FBI and for the Constitution. After this raid, he will be the 2024 nominee.
General warrants and biased judges are how you get a dictatorship and you do not care about that PVM. You think a one party dictatorship with Democrats in charge would be great. You can quote whatever expert you want PVM, but this is the road to dictatorship and it needs to be stopped.
Whatever was in those documents that was embarrassing, the FBI just embarrassed themselves even more with this raid. Taibbi is right. The FBI did the impossible. They turned Trump into a victim.

Biden new green deal hurts domestic energy again
Biden new green deal once again hurts domestic oil production. Once again it shows the world we will continue to beg for oil from other countries. OPEC announced they will start cutting production rather than increase as per Biden begging. Watch oil prices soar over $100 per barrel even with the Biden recession hitting Americans.
And to make things worse he just gave over $300 Billion of tax payer money to forgive college debt. Spending billions will just put inflation into high gear. Obama economist said today biggest mistake of Biden administration to date. Will hurt millions of low income and middle class families.
Biden stupidity at its finest.

Excess mortality. Cause of death unknown
Recommend anyone with questions about covid vax deaths and injuries to watch the Mark Steyn show on GB News. The fake news and Big tech both silence any such discussion.
Steyn is a brilliant commentator. Used to be a guest host for Rush and regular guest on Tucker Carlson (the #1 rated show in news) and now has his own gig in Britain. Kinda sad that the best news comes not from the land of the free but from Britain's GB News and also Sky News Australia, especially now that Fox has cucked (Tucker and Laura Ingraham aside), but oh well.
Couple of graphs from his latest show, illustrating the huge increase in non-covid excess deaths among people aged 25 to 55 in late 2021 (peak vax time), as well as the huge increase in "cause unknown" deaths at the same time. Hmm, nothing to see here folks.

The student loan forgiveness is another in an unmatched list of historic positive legislation and stewardship for America that Biden and the Dems have accomplished in an astoundingly successful first mere 19 months.

Which makes Biden's positive achievements even more remarkable.
And, no, I did not have an outstanding student loan to forgive nor am I related to anyone who had one prior to today. It's just a brilliant use of our tax payers' money, mine included, in order to Make America Great Again.

Best article on declassification is here
[URL]https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/08/trump-fbi-raid-classified-nuclear-documents/671119/[/URL]
The funny part is the author makes the joke that Trump can declassify any documents he wants and put them in a you-haul. The irony is that Biden can then undeclassify them.
The author of the article actually made this joke which may come true: Depending on traffic and the sharpness of the Biden administration, I would imagine the documents in the you-haul could have been reclassified somewhere around Fredericksburg, Virginia.
So this is literally what we are dealing with. Trump declassifies documents. Biden reclassifies them and tries to put Trump in jail. With a Democratic jury in DC, that would certainly be enough to put Trump on the electric chair. The notion that Biden did not know about this then was comical. And of course, it came out today that Biden knew: [URL]https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-white-house-directly-facilitated-fbi-mar-lago-raid[/URL].
And so now Matt Taibbi leads his article today with this, Excuse me for giving a shit, but what happened to the Trump raid story? Did that big news two weeks ago actually happen?
And there is more:
The Attorney General strode to a press conference podium three days after the raid looking like a condemned man. He hinted the raid only became public knowledge because Trump blabbed about it, then said the DOJ only filed a motion to release the search warrant "in light of the former president's public confirmation of the search" and because of "substantial public interest. " Garland toward the end of his remarks said he'the "personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter," briefly held his hand up to beseech reporters to hold their questions, and Snagglepussed out, exit stage right, without answering one.
The four-minute performance played like a hostage video. The idea of Garland both filing a motion to release the warrant and making a public appearance solely because of the post-raid reaction suggests he, too, was taken by surprise, and didn't expect to be facing questions. If there was any amount of planning before the raid, this would be impossible. Yet it appeared so.
On one hand, we're in the same place we've been a hundred times in the Trump era, waiting for the big reveal. We were here before Michael Cohen's testimony, before the Mueller report, before the Ukraine whistleblower letter, the Barr memo, and countless other expected bombshells. On the other hand, the evidentiary hype train has been turned off early this time.
"The Government," the motion read, "has refused to provide President Trump with any reason for the unprecedented general search of his home. " There's a lot of crazy stuff in the Trump motion, but they're not wrong about this.
Even if the raid wasn't politically motivated, it will for sure continue to look politically motivated, if the Justice Department doesn't come up with a better explanation than the six or seven leaked so far. Yet everyone is acting like that question has been answered.
Even though stories like Russiagate and Ukrainegate had holes from the start, their underlying dramatic logic was consistent: Trump is guilty, and proof will be released any minute. The Mar-a-Lago raid by contrast feels like an accidental missile launch.
Unless the man is literally in manacles before November 2024, this mess will remain an open wound for Democrats. Even if the raid wasn't politically motivated, it will for sure continue to look politically motivated.
End of link.
So here we go with the never mind Democrats again. The FBI showed up at a former president's house with an illegal warrant, 30 machine gun carrying agents, 11 vehicles, and searched every speck of Trump's house. And just like with all the other bombshells that never went off, we are back with the Dems waving their hands and saying, "Never mind. " Is short term dementia needed to be a Democrat?

Ok.
Because student loan payments have been on pause for more than two years, initially put on pause in March 2020 under a previous so-called potus in order to deal with the horrific results of his disastrous economic decisions going back to at least 2018. So, according to you, he is the one who did all those terrible things to America, its economy, low income and middle class families, triggering inflation and all that.
Just sayin'.

Have the woke censors got as far as the ISG? We really are in trouble.
In brief, Trump has such a vast and successful empire that bringing up individual parts of it where he or his subordinates used bankruptcy laws to their benefit is like making a video of all Tom Brady's sacks and interceptions, and using it to claim he is a terrible quarterback. Just obviously retarded.
Until his run for president, he was universally recognized as a great American success story. The left loves to try and rewrite history in an Orwellian fashion (for instance American Indians were all gentle, sensitive souls who did nothing more violent than pluck flowers until Europeans showed up) and this is just another example.
The Apprentice was a cultural phenomenon with high ratings for 14 seasons in primetime. Even people who didn't watch it knew about it and had seen some viral clips and knew the catchphrase. Yet again, the success was completely down to Trump, as the failure and cancellation of Schwarzenegger's single season showed.
It is bizarre that leftists are so overcome with Trump Derangement Syndrome that they attempt to dispute these clear, obvious, acknowledged facts. But then, they also claim that trannies are women, the border is secure, the world is ending in 9 years due to climate change, Biden doesn't have dementia, mass mail-in voting is the most secure way to hold an election, and many more things that fly in face of common sense and basic reality, so we shouldn't be too surprised.
As for tax returns, the IRS see them and certified there was no crime or evasion. That is all anyone needs to know. Why didn't Crooked Hillary release her medical records when she collapsed during the 2016 campaign? I recall that Trump promised to release his tax records if she released her medical records, but she declined. Seems that she had more to hide than just her crooked emails.
Again, claiming that Trump wasn't hugely wealthy because he didn't want to open the private tax records of himself and his vast business empire to public scrutiny is just silly, and yet another sign of TDS. You're really going to need to work on that before he wins the 2024 election, his third straight victory.

You still don't get it
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2735816]Outside of nuclear secrets and the location of spies, that is exactly what a Supreme Court case said, but it is a distraction. This has not been about charging Trump with a crime but retrieval of documents embarrassing to the FBI, Obama, and Biden.
What most Republicans find distasteful is the FBI raid was authorized by a hack judge. What bothers me is the warrant was illegal. A warrant has to be limited in time, place, and scope, and this warrant was not. It also was not signed by a neutral party. The magistrate who signed the warrant already recused himself from a Trump case and by his own admission and was not neutral.
Thing is that the warrant being illegal will not be judged as such unless there is a criminal case, and there will not be. If there were a real judge versus a partisan hack, the warrant would have been limited to the place the documents were kept and limited to just the supposedly classified documents, and there would have been no reason to seal anything outside of the content of the classified documents.
The nuclear secrets bullshit not only has been shot down by Trump but was just an excuse floated by the FBI to say Trump cannot declassify everything. Waiting almost two years to retrieve nuclear secrets is beyond dumb. Trump is also saying release everything because the documents are embarrassing to the FBI, Obama, and Biden.
Nah, you are drinking the FBI KoolAid if you think the FBI is an objective body versus Biden's praetorian guard. The FBI works for Biden not the American citizens.
IMO the 4th amendment is really the most important amendment in the constitution. It means your stuff is your stuff, and it says the government cannot kill you as you own your body. It places limits on searches and seizures.
Being a Trump hating Dem, that is all you care about, getting Trump. You are too clueless to see how we do not even have a 4th amendment with these general warrants and hack judges. The police / FBI can raid anyone's home and find something illegal, and if they do not find something, they can plant whatever they want. The FBI even took Trump's passport.
I think a lot of Republicans were on the fence with Trump but now they are not. You are no longer voting for Trump but against the FBI and for the Constitution. After this raid, he will be the 2024 nominee.
General warrants and biased judges are how you get a dictatorship and you do not care about that PVM. You think a one party dictatorship with Democrats in charge would be great. You can quote whatever expert you want PVM, but this is the road to dictatorship and it needs to be stopped.
Whatever was in those documents that was embarrassing, the FBI just embarrassed themselves even more with this raid. Taibbi is right. The FBI did the impossible. They turned Trump into a victim.[/QUOTE]The following quote from your rant says it all: "IMO the 4th amendment is really the most important amendment in the constitution. It means your stuff is your stuff, and it says the government cannot kill you as you own your body. It places limits on searches and seizures. ".
You seem to forget, if you ever knew, that nothing, abso-freakin-lutely nothing, that Donnie the Dumbass' marry band of fuckups printed, wrote, or said is "their stuff". All that "stuff" belongs to the American people and must be, by law, turned over to the National Archives.
The National Archives actually went easy on the Orange Buffoon. They asked him to return everything he had and he returned about half. They asked him to return more and he returned a few documents. Then, the Mango Mussolini's lawyers actually had the bad sense to lie to the Archives, in writing, that the Mango Mussolini had returned everything. The DOJ didn't believe that line of BS (they are obviously smarter than every tRUMP supporter) and they raided Mar-a-Lago.
Let me say this once and for all so that the moron brigade understands. [B]Every scrap of paper that an administration generates belongs to the American people.[/B] tRUMP's 4th Amendment defense is as worthless as he is. Your defense of tRUMP's defense is just as worthless.
One last point. Donnie the Dumbass, in 2018, signed a law that made it a felony to be in possession of classified documents without authorization. Talk about being hoisted by your own petard. Oops!

Jason Furman on August 25
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2735898]And who was that Obama economist and what exactly did he say?
The student loan forgiveness is another in an unmatched list of historic positive legislation and stewardship for America that Biden and the Dems have accomplished in an astoundingly successful first mere 19 months. And after inheriting the worst across-the-board results from the worst president of all time and now the worst former president of all time! Which makes Biden's positive achievements even more remarkable.
And, no, I did not have an outstanding student loan to forgive nor am I related to anyone who had one prior to today. It's just a brilliant use of our tax payers' money, mine included, in order to Make America Great Again.[/QUOTE]Jason Furman.

Government spending money to get nothing
QUOTE=EihTooms;2735974]Are you sure you want to argue that people not paying their student loans simply puts billions into the system, drives inflation into high gear, hurts millions of low income and middle class families and is an example of stupidity at its finest?
Ok.
Because student loan payments have been on pause for more than two years, initially put on pause in March 2020 under a previous so-called potus in order to deal with the horrific results of his disastrous economic decisions going back to at least 2018. So, according to you, he is the one who did all those terrible things to America, its economy, low income and middle class families, triggering inflation and all that.
Biden spending billions and getting nothing in return will create more inflation. Raising taxes on working families will just drive more people into poverty like yourself. More people will be like you and not be able to afford to live in USA. People leave the USA everyday and move to dhithole countries where they can live off their social security.

It is [B]absolutely not[/B] the paper that matters. Here is what the NARA considers "Presidential Records": "documentary materials, or any reasonably segregable portion thereof, created or received by the.
President, the President's immediate staff, or a unit or individual of the Executive Office of the.
President whose function is to advise and assist the President, in the course of conducting activities.
Which relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional, statutory, or other.
Official or ceremonial duties of the President. " {44 USA see. § 2201 (2)}. And "documentary materials or any reasonably segregable portion thereof, of a purely private or nonpublic.
Character, which do not relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional, statutory.
Or other official or ceremonial duties of the President" and which include "diaries, journals, or other.
Personal notes serving as the functional equivalent of a diary or journal which are not prepared or utilized.
For, or circulated or communicated in the course of, transacting Government business," "private political.
Associations" and "materials relating exclusively to the President's own election to the office of the.
Presidency" {44 USA see. § 2201 (3)}.
So, except for Donnie writing down an order for hamberders and giving it to an aide to fetch (which is considered personal), if a document (in any media form whatsoever) in any way had to do with Government business, that document [B]must be[/B] turned over to NARA. That means Kim Jong Il's "love letters" too.
Donnie the Dumbass' 4th Amendment argument (and your defense of it) is utter BS. As is your search warrant argument.

Sunlight is not constant but varies year to year and the predictions of global warming have been shelved until 2050 due to the expected lower amounts of sunlight which just so happens to be when the scientists predicting Armageddon will no longer be around. On top of that, a slight change in the earth's axis caused an ice age around 10,000 years ago, and that could happen at any time. Even Bill Maher, the huge save the earth guy, has grown tired of predictions that the world will end in 20 years.
As Germany learned, green energy means no energy. Germany trying to use solar power may have been the dumbest exercise ever. Solar and wind make no sense because of a lack of storage capacity. Natural gas is like 300 X cleaner than coal which Germany was using for power. Germany had to switch to Russian gas after shutting down coal plants because their solar experiment was not working. With the Russians cutting off gas this winter, Europe is faced with the ultimate irony, people freezing their asses off this winter in the name of protecting the planet from global warming. And this too is something global warming nuts never mention, way more people die of cold related injuries every year than heat.
Rationally speaking, a move away from polluting coal was smart, but coal is not singled out. All fossil fuels, including super clean natural gas, are treated the same.
There is a rational way to deal with these things, and there is the dumb Dem virtue signaling way. Global warming is real, the vaccine is great, and those of you skeptical of those things want to destroy the planet and have people die of Covid. Jeez, give it a rest Karen.

Here's a timeline of the events.
January 2022.
The National Archives had asked Trump for some of the materials it believed had been taken from the White House and stored at Mar-a-Lago in Florida after Trump left office.
Trump turned over 15 boxes of materials taken from the White House after negotiating with officials at the National Archives in 2021.
According to officials, the boxes included personal letters and gifts Trump had received, including a congratulatory letter from former President Barack Obama.
"These records should have been transferred to NARA from the White House at the end of the Trump administration in January 2021," the National Archives said in a statement.
February 2022.
After going through the documents, the National Archives discovered what appeared to be classified information. They called on the Justice Department for guidance, according to the Times.
The agency confirmed on Feb. 18 that they found "classified national security information" among the boxes of the material turned over by Trump.
The finding raised concern among lawmakers, who started investigating through the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
In a letter on Feb. 24, Rep. Carolyn be. Maloney, the chairwoman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, requested a detailed accounting from the National Archives of what was in the boxes.
April 2022.
In April, the Justice Department instructed the National Archives not to share any details about the classified materials found at Mar-a-Lago with the House Oversight Committee.
May 2022.
In early May, the Justice Department issued a subpoena to the National Archives to obtain the classified documents found within the boxes.
Spring 2022.
According to CNN, Trump aides including executive assistant Molly Michael, operations coordinator Beau Harrison, former White House staff secretary Derek Lyons, and former White House valet Walt Nauta, were interviewed by federal officials about the removal of documents to Mar-a-Lago or about their storage once brought to the resort.
June 3, 2022.
DOJ and FBI officials present a grand jury subpoena at Mar-a-Lago and are shown a storage room where boxes containing White House documents and other materials are kept.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump attorneys hand over documents marked as "top secret. ".
Trump attorneys also sign letter that Trump had no more classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
June 8, 2022.
Justice Department counterintelligence chief Jay Bratt reportedly sends a request that a stronger lock be put on the storage room door and that the boxes "be preserved in that room in their current condition until further notice. "
He signs off in the letter with, "Thank you. Very truly yours, Jay Bratt, chief of counterintelligence and export control section. "
June 22,2022.
Trump receives a subpoena for surveillance footage from Mar-a-Lago, according to the Journal.
Aug. 5, 2022.
Reinhart issues a sealed search warrant for the former president's home.
Aug. 8, 2022.
FBI agents executed the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, going through Trump's home for more than nine hours. According to reports, the agents concentrated on a bedroom, a safe, and at one point the former first lady Melania Trump's closet. The remaining boxes are removed from the storage room.
Aug. 11,2022.
Attorney General Merrick Garland holds a news conference to say that he personally approved the search of the former president's residence.
"The department does not take such a decision lightly," he said, adding, that "it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search, and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken.

Gee, if what I said contradicts Donnie the Dumbass, could it be that Donnie lied? Again? Maybe a better question would be "when has he ever told the truth"?
Since I previously destroyed your so-called 4th Amendment argument, I won't bother to rehash it.
You really still don't "get it". Donnie the Dumbass was never supposed to have those documents in the first place. Unless that material was innocuous and obviously personal, like a order for hamberders or a note saying the he'd like Ivanka to sit on his face, anything having to do with government should have already been turned over to NARA. Those are the rules and I have previously explained them to you and cited sources. You may not believe the sources but them's the facts!

More than that, this is an issue that should be settled in a court room not with machine guns. Can you come up with any reason NARA and the FBI needed the originals versus copies or Trump could not have kept copies of the declassified material outside of the Feds not wanting Trump to have those records? That is the issue.
Since all you dumb Dems have short term amnesia, let me remind you it was not Putin who cost Clinton the election in 2016 but FBI Chief James Comey. That moron decided not to prosecute Clinton and it was not his job to do so. What should have happened then was a group of prosecutors should have been selected in the most neutral way possible to decide if Clinton should have been charged. Instead this dumb shit Comey said, "No, gee, duh, I will do it. " and let Clinton off the hook. We know from the texts from Strzok and Page there was no way Comey was going to prosecute Clinton. In fact, Comey said while letting Clinton go that she broke the law and warned others not to.
So Comey looks like a partisan dope and to remedy the situation decides Clinton is going to win and says he is reopening his investigation into Clinton. Or maybe this is to get dirt on Clinton if she wins. Whatever the case, Trump wins, and the entire FBI leadership is shocked and then focuses their guns on Trump.
And now we know thanks to Mark Zuckerberg the Feds fucked around once again in an election process in 2020 by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story at least on Facebook (and probably other social media companies) pushing the bullshit Russian disinformation line.
At the time, I was glad the FBI opened up its case against Clinton before the election, but in hindsight, it was clear to me that their doing so was bullshit, and I want the FBI a million miles away from deciding who is president but not you. Nah, you want the Dems to win and all the FBI has to do is posture that they are pro-Dem, and you are perfectly happy ceding the power of voting to them. You want a one party Democrat dictatorship.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2736084]In brief, Trump has such a vast and successful empire that bringing up individual parts of it where he or his subordinates used bankruptcy laws to their benefit........
Until his run for president, he was universally recognized as a great American success story. The left loves to try and rewrite history in an Orwellian fashion (for instance American Indians were all gentle, sensitive souls who did nothing more violent than pluck flowers until Europeans showed up) and this is just another example.
[/QUOTE]Well it looks like another Trump business is head for great success. Well if you define success as bankruptcy or creditor lawsuits.

QOP / GOP Dark Money Rears it Ugly Head
Barre Seid, Secretive Tycoon Gives Record $1. 6 Billion to Fund GOP Takeover of the Courts.
[URL]https://www.yahoo.com/now/barre-seid-billionaire-donated-record-200922296.html[/URL]
ProPublica and The Lever have revealed how Barre Seid, a 90-year-old conservative industrialist from Chicago, has given his fortune to a "nonprofit" run by Leonard LEO, the co-chair of the [B]Federalist Society[/B].
[i]"You know, we believe its the [b]biggest-ever donation[/b] to a politically oriented dark money group in U.S. history"[/i].
LEO has played a key role in helping Republicans reshape the federal judiciary. He's been described as Donald Trump's "Supreme Court whisperer" for his role in pushing for the nomination of Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.
Koch brothers, DeVos/Prince families, Uihleins family, Robert Mercer and now Barre Seid (off the top of my head). Meanwhile, the only one on the left that the right-wing/alt-right can point to is George Soros.
Some members (on the right/alt-right) may want to re-think their views, on which political party [I](if we can even call the QOP/GOP a political party anymore),[/I] is it exactly that is corrupting democracy, SCOTUS and POTUS with their money.

You really have no clue
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2736406]Confirmation bias? How about your affirming the vaccines do any good at all? Why do you get a yearly flu shot against a cold virus yet this "vaccine" was supposed to work years after it was developed? This "vaccine" worked like a good cold virus would be expected to, great initially and then was totally ineffective a short time later. Biden, Fauci, and the CEO of Pfizer were vaccinated x 4 and all got Covid. What more evidence do you need the vaccine does nothing? All cause mortality is higher in the vaccinated group than unvaccinated in many places. At present, this "vaccine" is no better than a placebo and much more dangerous than one. Do we still have a pandemic of the unvaccinated? What a crock of shit that was.
The collection of CO2 levels has only been going on since the 1950's, and there was a linear rise in CO2 and a falling in global temperatures the first 25 years CO2 was measured. Sunlight is not constant but varies year to year and the predictions of global warming have been shelved until 2050 due to the expected lower amounts of sunlight which just so happens to be when the scientists predicting Armageddon will no longer be around. On top of that, a slight change in the earth's axis caused an ice age around 10,000 years ago, and that could happen at any time. Even Bill Maher, the huge save the earth guy, has grown tired of predictions that the world will end in 20 years.
As Germany learned, green energy means no energy. Germany trying to use solar power may have been the dumbest exercise ever. Solar and wind make no sense because of a lack of storage capacity. Natural gas is like 300 X cleaner than coal which Germany was using for power. Germany had to switch to Russian gas after shutting down coal plants because their solar experiment was not working. With the Russians cutting off gas this winter, Europe is faced with the ultimate irony, people freezing their asses off this winter in the name of protecting the planet from global warming. And this too is something global warming nuts never mention, way more people die of cold related injuries every year than heat.
Rationally speaking, a move away from polluting coal was smart, but coal is not singled out. All fossil fuels, including super clean natural gas, are treated the same.
There is a rational way to deal with these things, and there is the dumb Dem virtue signaling way. Global warming is real, the vaccine is great, and those of you skeptical of those things want to destroy the planet and have people die of Covid. Jeez, give it a rest Karen.[/QUOTE]You obviously don't have a clue as to what a vaccine does and what viruses do.
Viruses mutate. Sort of like what happened to you when you mutated from a (probably) sentient human being into a dense, unthinking individual who swallows FUX Snooze and tRUMP BS hook-line-and-sinker.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is different from the flu virus in that it can't mutate as fast as the flu does and it mutates differently as well. Read the following (if the words aren't too bigly for you) to find out why. But the upshot is that SARS-CoV-2 mutates about once every 11 days. Sometimes the mutation is beneficial to the virus and sometimes it isn't. [URL]https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/the-coronavirus-is-mutating-but-what-determines-how-quickly[/URL].
But somehow you feel that the current vaccine (which was developed for the variant that existed in March 2020) being less effective today is somehow the vaccine's fault. If the vaccine is as ineffective as you claim, why not blame the guy who was large and in charge in March, 2020. The great (according to you), infallible (according to you) one-term, twice-impeached former guy. Yep, the Mango Mussolini is the one to blame for whatever perceived ineffectiveness the vaccine has for you.
Vaccines do one thing and one thing only. They prime one's immune system to recognize an invader and the body reacts to repel that invader. That's all a vaccine does. No more, no less. Every freaking virus on the planet mutates differently and at a different rate, yet you somehow believe that COVID vaccine is the only one that is ineffective. Gee, let's see. I saw an ad for Shingrix the other day on the tube. It detailed what it did (priming one's immune system) and how effective it was (at best 90% The flu vaccine isn't all that effective either since the flu mutates differently and rapidly and flu vaccine manufacturers need to guess which strain of the virus will pop up this year in enough time to get the vaccine manufactured in quantity. [URL]https://globalhealth.duke.edu/news/why-seasonal-flu-evolves-faster-we-can-fight-it[/URL].
Give your vaccine diatribes a rest, OK? We're all tired of it and of your inane rantings. Why not try to convince us that the world is flat or that the moon is made of green cheese.

And it is not confirmation bias when the conclusion that the COVID vaccines are effective when it is backed by the results of a number of double blind tests with the results vetted by experts in the field. Your argument that Dr Fauci and the rest catching COVID despite having 4 shots of the vaccine is proof that the vaccines do not work makes me wonder do you understand basic immunology? What do you expect a vaccine developed against the original strain of COVID can do against a very mutated strain? As for your question about a pandemic amongst the unvaccinated, I need again to ask: do you understand the dynamics of a infectious disease? The situation 2 years ago where people have no immunity against COVID is very different from the situation today where most people have immunity? Also, it is silly to talk about "a pandemic of the unvaccinated" when the vaccinated and the unvaccinated are not segregated, and with the large number of people who have immunity, the unvaccinated have a free ride because of herd immunity.
[blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue]. In a complex system, there is going to be a lot of different moving parts and at any point in time, it is not hard to find data that goes against the expectation. What matters is the preponderance of data. And please don't point to imaginary things like "predictions of global warming have been shelved until 2050" and "a slight change in the earth's axis" to confuse and distract from the main issue. What matters is what is actually happening: record temperatures are being made every year; glaciers are getting smaller; and weather all over the world is getting more extreme.

Just stop embarrassing yourself
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2736455]Actually, the way the warrant was written it would have covered Trump giving a written order for hamburgers, so you just stepped on your dick there.
More than that, this is an issue that should be settled in a court room not with machine guns. Can you come up with any reason NARA and the FBI needed the originals versus copies or Trump could not have kept copies of the declassified material outside of the Feds not wanting Trump to have those records? That is the issue.
Since all you dumb Dems have short term amnesia, let me remind you it was not Putin who cost Clinton the election in 2016 but FBI Chief James Comey. That moron decided not to prosecute Clinton and it was not his job to do so. What should have happened then was a group of prosecutors should have been selected in the most neutral way possible to decide if Clinton should have been charged. Instead this dumb shit Comey said, "No, gee, duh, I will do it. " and let Clinton off the hook. We know from the texts from Strzok and Page there was no way Comey was going to prosecute Clinton. In fact, Comey said while letting Clinton go that she broke the law and warned others not to..[/QUOTE]And stop changing the subject also.
First, you obviously didn't read what I cited re: what is a "presidential record". I guaran-damn-tee you that the warrant was written the way it was because of the state of the original 15 boxes of documents that were returned to NARA. Had those boxes been orderly, etc. The warrant would have been written differently. But those boxes weren't that way. Stuff was intertwingled all over the place, with newspaper clippings, magazine articles, etc. Intermixed with confidential documents that were not in their proper folders.
Second, the Mango Mussolini isn't Jeanie ("I Dream of Jeanie") or Samantha ("Bewitched" he can't just cross his arms and nod his head or twitch his nose and magically declassify documents. Period. That decision needs to be memorialized. Which, by the way, means written down. And if it is written down, it should be in the possession of NARA. Period. So Donnie the Dumbass [B]did not[/B] declassify documents (no matter what he said) and he was in illegally possession of them [B]because they never should have left the White House[/B].
Third, your assertion of "copies" is absurd. You obviously have no idea of the steps required to copy a classified document. [URL]https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0600/ML060050527.pdf[/URL].
Fourth, regardless of whether the documents were originals or copies, Donnie the Dumbass was in illegally possession of them [B]because they never should have left the White House[/B]. I realize that concept is absolutely foreign to you and that's what is at the crux of the issue here. The Orange Menace had absolutely no need to keep those documents. He was illegally in possession of them because they all should have been turned over to NARA. And not only that, but NARA started "negotiating" with the idiot soon after he left the WH. And it took them a year to get less than half of what they sought. Obstruction, anyone? Then, after seeing what a sorry state the records were in [B]and[/B] finding classified information in those documents, NARA turned the matter over to the FBI. The FBI did their thing and here we are.
The amusing thing about all of this is that it all could have been avoided. Yep. All Donnie the Dumbass needed to do was to say something like (in February of 2020) "Hey guys, I was going through some boxes that were shipped to Florida from the WH and I found about 50 boxes of documents that had classified material in them. Please come get them. My bad. " All that the feds would have done was mutter about all the stuff should have been turned over to NARA but, in the end, taken the position of "No blood, no foul". But nooooooooooooo. Donnie the Dumbass thought he was smarter than everybody else (like always). He stalled and stalled and stalled and finally sent less than half of what he had to NARA a year after they asked. Then, he had his merry band of legal fuckups actually sign an affidavit that said the Donnie the Dumbass had no more classified documents in his possession. Sheesh, Donnie must've thought that the FBI was as dumb as his supporters.
What you don't realize is that the search warrant redacted the names of [B]multiple civilian witnesses[/B]. That means more than one. Definitely more than two. And probably more than three. So multiple people knew that documents were not only being kept in a locked closet (that wasn't a secure facility) but that there were documents scattered in multiple places at Mar-a-Lago. [B]Documents that Donnie the Dumbass was illegally in possession of.[/B].
The rest of your inane rant is simple whataboutism, something you rightwingnuts are good at.
And, by the way, you seem to think that I am some sort of radical and that I want a one-party Democratic dictatorship. Nothing could be further from the truth. Other than voting for Ross Perot (once) and for Obama (once), I have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1972. What separates me from you is that I can see that Donnie the Dumbass has done irreparable harm to this country while you think that he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I would love to have a Republican party that actually tries to govern as opposed to simply voting NO on everything when they aren't in power.

This guy says it better than I can
I have finally seen enough. Donald Trump will be indicted by a federal grand jury.
You heard me right: I believe Trump will actually be indicted for a criminal offense. Even with all its redactions, the probable cause affidavit published today by the magistrate judge in Florida makes clear to me three essential points:
(1) Trump was in unauthorized possession of national defense information, namely properly marked classified documents.
(2) he was put on notice by the USA Government that he was not permitted to retain those documents at Mar-a-Lago.
(3) he continued to maintain possession of the documents (and allegedly undertook efforts to conceal them in different places throughout the property) up until the FBI finally executed a search warrant earlier this month.
That is the ball game, folks. Absent some unforeseen change in factual or legal circumstances, I believe there is little left for the Justice Department to do but decide whether to wait until after the midterms to formally seek the indictment from the grand jury.
The cruelest irony for Trump is that it never needed to be this way.
Put aside that in the chaos following his election loss Trump's team never undertook the normal procedure for properly sorting through and archiving his presidential records in coordination with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Put aside that properly marked classified records were shipped to Mar-a-Lago and sat there for months until he began turning stuff over to NARA in late 2021.
If he had fully cooperated at that point, and returned all of the records to NARA last year, this likely never would have become a criminal matter. DOJ would have declined to take any action, notwithstanding the existence of the classified records, and it would have been a "no harm, no foul" situation. Just another minor story in the Trump saga of incompetence.
But Trump just could not bring himself to play by the rules. He turned over 15 boxes last January but did not turn over all the records. Political operatives from conservative organizations started whispering into his ear that he had legal precedent on his side to refuse to turn over the classified records to NARA (he did not). His lawyers surprisingly wrote a rather condescending letter to DOJ in May 2022, effectively arguing that even if there were still classified records at Mar-a-Lago the FBI lacked the authority to take any criminal action against Trump given his former status as president. Then, in June 2022 after the FBI executed a subpoena to recover more records at Mar-a-Lago, two Trump lawyers wrote (and one signed) a sworn affidavit reassuring the government there were no more classified records at the property.
We now know that statement was not true. The FBI found multiple more classified records, including some with markings for Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS / SCI) during the search this month, and not just located in the storage room with the other boxes of records. They found records located in different parts of Mar-a-Lago.
Of course, there are various arguments for why a prosecution might not succeed in this situation.
There is the contention by Trump and his allies that he declassified the documents, whether through a "standing order" or more specific verbal action. No evidence has been produced corroborating that assertion, and there certainly is no indication that the classification markings themselves were ever revised to reflect the declassification. The Trump lawyers in May certainly did not provide any such evidence in their letter to DOJ, and they similarly provided no evidence of it in their "motion" filed earlier this week in district court in Florida seeking a Special Master.
And that is before we even consider if the classification status would matter for an Espionage Act prosecution, which only requires that the information relate to the national defense.
There is also the issue of selective political prosecution and supposed bad faith by the government in its decision to pursue the case. This is something that has been mentioned ad nauseum by Trump allies on cable news, and was briefly mentioned in the "motion" filed earlier this week in court. Lacking from those arguments is anything beyond rank speculation. That will not fly in court. Just ask Sidney Powell how well it works to try to litigate in court the way you argue on cable news. Hint: it does not go well.
All in all, this case should and in my opinion will result in an indictment. Sure, an indictment does not equal a conviction. Trump is still assumed innocent until proven guilty. There are unknown variables like whether the prosecution would occur in Florida or in the. See. We do not know what evidence Trump might have to substantiate his declassification claim. And we do not know what the courts would say about his various arguments.
Get the popcorn ready either way.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2736455]Actually, the way the warrant was written it would have covered Trump giving a written order for hamburgers, so you just stepped on your dick there.
More than that, this is an issue that should be settled in a court room not with machine guns. Can you come up with any reason NARA and the FBI needed the originals versus copies or Trump could not have kept copies of the declassified material outside of the Feds not wanting Trump to have those records? That is the issue.
Since all you dumb Dems have short term amnesia, let me remind you it was not Putin who cost Clinton the election in 2016 but FBI Chief James Comey. That moron decided not to prosecute Clinton and it was not his job to do so. What should have happened then was a group of prosecutors should have been selected in the most neutral way possible to decide if Clinton should have been charged. Instead this dumb shit Comey said, "No, gee, duh, I will do it. " and let Clinton off the hook. We know from the texts from Strzok and Page there was no way Comey was going to prosecute Clinton. In fact, Comey said while letting Clinton go that she broke the law and warned others not to.
So Comey looks like a partisan dope and to remedy the situation decides Clinton is going to win and says he is reopening his investigation into Clinton. Or maybe this is to get dirt on Clinton if she wins. Whatever the case, Trump wins, and the entire FBI leadership is shocked and then focuses their guns on Trump.
And now we know thanks to Mark Zuckerberg the Feds fucked around once again in an election process in 2020 by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story at least on Facebook (and probably other social media companies) pushing the bullshit Russian disinformation line.
At the time, I was glad the FBI opened up its case against Clinton before the election, but in hindsight, it was clear to me that their doing so was bullshit, and I want the FBI a million miles away from deciding who is president but not you. Nah, you want the Dems to win and all the FBI has to do is posture that they are pro-Dem, and you are perfectly happy ceding the power of voting to them. You want a one party Democrat dictatorship.[/QUOTE]At this point, I must take a moment to salute the indefatigable sacrifice of Elvis2008.

Billionaire's are not classified as failures. On the other hand Biden is classified as a failure plus all the students that did not pay off their student loans are classified as failures. Pretty much every left wing liberal is a failure. Just wanted to clarify the facts.[/QUOTE]Quite right. This attempt by the wacko left to claim that Trump wasn't a huge American success story before he ran for president is truly Orwellian.
He was an absolute media darling: watch his appearances on The View pre-2015. The same bitter washed-up old harridans who shriek about him all day used to gush over him like schoolgirls meeting Justin Bieber. It was probably the first time they'd experienced moisture for decades.
All the politicians wanted his support. Mitt Romney famously begged for his endorsement. He owned billions in real estate all over the world; he had a vastly successful primetime TV show; he had beautiful women throwing themselves at him everywhere he went; he was the king of New York (and as Sinatra said, if you can make it there you can make it anywhere).
You can say you disagree with his policies, think he's too brash, whatever, but you can't try and alter history.
The wacko left's attempt to do this is not the first time they and their communist ilk have tried it. From the Russian Bolsheviks to Pol Pot's Year Zero in Cambodia, the wacko left have shown time and again they want to erase history and destroy society to conform to their false and wrong beliefs. And every time, they kill huge numbers of people. Thank god for the Founding Fathers who expected this to happen sooner or later, and gave us the Constitution, most specifically the Second Amendment, with which to defend ourselves.

FBI / NKVD election interference
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2736455]
And now we know thanks to Mark Zuckerberg the Feds fucked around once again in an election process in 2020 by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story at least on Facebook (and probably other social media companies) pushing the bullshit Russian disinformation line.
[/QUOTE]This is a huge story which is being predictably ignored by the wacko leftist fake news.
We already knew that Facebook and Twitter interfered in the election by blocking the story about Hunter's laptop and the vast evidence of crimes contained therein. Polls have shown that, had voters had access to the censored story, it would have decisively shifted the election to Trump (ie his victory would have been so enormous that even the huge amount of democrat mail-in ballot rigging would not have been enough to steal it). [URL]https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/mar/24/medias-suppression-of-hunter-laptop-was-election-i/[/URL].
That was bad enough. But it just got worse.
Zuckerberg went on Joe Rogan the other day and said that the FBI told him the laptop was "Russian minsinformation".
That was a flat-out lie, and the FBI knew it. It has now been quietly acknowledged even in the fake news media that the laptop is real, and the feds have known it for years.
The fact that the FBI actually flatly lied to tell social media companies to block true information which would have led to a Trump victory is absolutely scandalous. It also confirms what we have known for some time: that the FBI is the latter-day NKVD of the Washington swamp, and that the entire rotten edifice is beyond saving. It must be torn down and replaced. And it will be. The Tree of Liberty is dehydrated.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]And stop changing the subject also.
First, you obviously didn't read what I cited re: what is a "presidential record". I guaran-damn-tee you that the warrant was written the way it was because of the state of the original 15 boxes of documents that were returned to NARA.[/QUOTE]LOL. It was everything he ever looked at or touched. A note written for hamburgers was specifically included in the warrant. Let me repeat: this was a general warrant and illegal. You still have no clue what that is.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]Had those boxes been orderly, etc. The warrant would have been written differently. But those boxes weren't that way. Stuff was intertwingled all over the place, with newspaper clippings, magazine articles, etc. Intermixed with confidential documents that were not in their proper folders.[/QUOTE]It does not matter. You cannot use general warrants.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]Second, the Mango Mussolini isn't Jeanie ("I Dream of Jeanie") or Samantha ("Bewitched" he can't just cross his arms and nod his head or twitch his nose and magically declassify documents. Period. That decision needs to be memorialized. Which, by the way, means written down. And if it is written down, it should be in the possession of NARA. Period. So Donnie the Dumbass did not declassify documents (no matter what he said) and he was in illegally possession of them because they never should have left the White House.[/QUOTE]You did not read the Atlantic article. He can do exactly that.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]Third, your assertion of "copies" is absurd. You obviously have no idea of the steps required to copy a classified document.[/QUOTE]How many documents were classified and how long would have copies have taken to be done? Biden sent in 30 people with machine guns. Maybe one with a copy machine would have been more appropriate.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]Fourth, regardless of whether the documents were originals or copies, Donnie the Dumbass was in illegally possession of them because they never should have left the White House. I realize that concept is absolutely foreign to you and that's what is at the crux of the issue here. The Orange Menace had absolutely no need to keep those documents. He was illegally in possession of them because they all should have been turned over to NARA.[/QUOTE]Trump got a subpoena and his last words to NARA were come back and get whatever you want if you need it. They told him to put a lock on the door and he did. I have not played the whatabout card with Hiliary Clinton and Obama but the Attorney General brought it up and said the law was applied equally to everyone. He holds this press conference and it was just 4 minutes of pure bullshit lies: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEXkitl7rv4[/URL].
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]And not only that, but NARA started "negotiating" with the idiot soon after he left the WH. And it took them a year to get less than half of what they sought. Obstruction, anyone? Then, after seeing what a sorry state the records were in [B]and[/B] finding classified information in those documents, NARA turned the matter over to the FBI. The FBI did their thing and here we are.[/QUOTE]You really cannot read between the lines can you? Trump had documents that embarrassed the FBI. He was showing them to people and obviously did not want to give them up. That is what prompted this raid with machine guns. The FBI and Biden did not want him to have those documents.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]The amusing thing about all of this is that it all could have been avoided. Yep. All Donnie the Dumbass needed to do was to say something like (in February of 2020) "Hey guys, I was going through some boxes that were shipped to Florida from the WH and I found about 50 boxes of documents that had classified material in them. Please come get them. My bad. "[/QUOTE]So the government could destroy documents that embarrassed the FBI? LOL. Trump did not send in people with machine guns.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]But nooooooooooooo. Donnie the Dumbass thought he was smarter than everybody else (like always). He stalled and stalled and stalled and finally sent less than half of what he had to NARA a year after they asked. Then, he had his merry band of legal fuckups actually sign an affidavit that said the Donnie the Dumbass had no more classified documents in his possession.[/QUOTE]He did not stall. He complied with the subpoena. How many times do I have to say that? NARA allowed him to keep the documents in his possession and advised him to put a lock on the door. It was only when Trump was showing off the documents they freaked out.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]What you don't realize is that the search warrant redacted the names of [B]multiple civilian witnesses[/B]. That means more than one. Definitely more than two. And probably more than three. So multiple people knew that documents were not only being kept in a locked closet (that wasn't a secure facility) but that there were documents scattered in multiple places at Mar-a-Lago. Documents that Donnie the Dumbass was illegally in possession of.[/QUOTE]The government knew what he had, fool. They left him be for months and then come up with machine guns. Quit with your legal bullshit. Why would they do that?
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]And, by the way, you seem to think that I am some sort of radical and that I want a one-party Democratic dictatorship. Nothing could be further from the truth. Other than voting for Ross Perot (once) and for Obama (once), I have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1972.[/QUOTE]Sorry, I do not believe you. You are so deluded that you think that coming in with 30 agents with machine guns to an ex-president's house is appropriate. Sending in machine gun carrying agents to a political opponent is banana republic stuff! WTF is wrong with you that you think this is okay? Just because it is Trump? He is not just an ex-president but an American citizen.
Are you so dense that you cannot see that a biased FBI can be used against you? If Trump wins in 2024, he can pull the exact same stunt with every living Democratic president and political opponent. Some Democratic Senator takes something classified home and Trump can arrest him with the FBI? Do you think Trump is the only one who may have broken this law? Hiliary destroyed documents that were under subpoena. Trump had printed documents that were in a closet. Hiliary had a server on line open to the world. And you think she was the only one?
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736775]What separates me from you is that I can see that Donnie the Dumbass has done irreparable harm to this country.[/QUOTE]What harm are you talking about? You are the fools that destroyed the country by going after him from the second he walked into office.
But I am not voting for Trump. I am voting against the FBI, for the Constitution, and against a Banana Republic. The average person is not law abiding but breaks like three laws every day.
Maybe one of these days you will get that when it comes to political opponents, you use the courts to get documents not machine gun carrying agents. Maybe if you think on that real hard, it will get through that dense fucking skull of yours, and it is not just me.
Matt Taibbi is very critical of Trump, and the Wall Street Journal has been as well. They both had the same reaction with this affidavit. This is it?
You dumb Dems think this show of force is the greatest thing since sliced bread. If the Dems indict him on this stupid charge, they just made him president in 2024, but you are so stupid you do not see why. SCOUTUS is not going to let you fools win 2024 in a court room and certainly not over this.

Trump put 10% tariffs on these China goods and China devalued their currency 10% so that they could keep their market share. China received less USD and farmers got paid.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736776]Do you have any understanding at all about tariffs?

Please stop listening to FUX Snooze.[/QUOTE]Yes I know how tariffs work. USA companies bought the Chinese products. When Trump put the tariffs on China they devalued their currency by 10%. Consumers paid the 10% less for the products plus the 10% tariff and ended up paying the same for the product. China received 10% less Farmers got a settlement from the trade wars. A lot different than the giveaway by Biden to the worthless deadbeats who weren't paying their student loans.

It is the one year anniversary of one of Biden's biggest failures. Not many people celebrating. Democrats avoiding the subject. There still are Americans stuck in Afghanistan and the Taliban has restored their terrorist leadership government. Taliban is well armed as Biden left billions of dollars of new weapons for them to use against Americans.

You could "indict a ham sandwich"
Steve Musal: "I'm not a lawyer. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the majority of the Metropolitan's readers are also not lawyers. And while there are a few exceptions, I know most of my Facebook followers aren't lawyers. And yet, there are many people who seem to be so sure of their understanding about how a grand jury works, that they're willing to take any decision made at face value — as proof of innocence or guilt.
That's not actually how a grand jury works. In a grand jury hearing, the prosecution (usually only the prosecution) presents evidence in a relaxed setting to the grand jury, who decide whether to issue an indictment **— whether there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime. Since, traditionally, the defense doesn't get a say, it's pretty easy to get a grand jury to indict someone in most cases. In fact, it's so easy in most cases that a former New York state chief judge, Sol Wachtler, famously remarked that a prosecutor could persuade a grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich. " On a federal level, in 2010 (the last year for which we have statistics), grand juries returned just 11 out of 162,000 violent crime cases without an indictment, according to the FBI's Bureau of Justice Statistics. . . ".
[URL]https://www.mymetmedia.com/indict-ham-sandwich/[/URL]
The sworn affidavit presented to secure the search warrant for Mar-a-Lago used by the FBI to raid Donald Trump's home had what appears to be a crucial error in it, one that could be easily debunked. If the facts detailed by independent journalist Paul Sperry are accurate, this could be enough to obliterate the Department of Justice's case against Trump. . . BREAKING: The FBI affiant who swore to the Mar-a-Lago search warrant appears to have made a critical factual error by stating in the unsealed affidavit: "I do not believe that any spaces within the PREMISES have been authorized for the storage of classified information. " This finding, which is the linchpin of the criminal case vs. Trump, overlooks the fact that: 1) White House records confirm that a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) authorizing the briefing and storage of classified material up to the TS / SCI level had in fact been installed at Mar-a-Lago; and, 2) records show that the Secret Service had recently awarded a nearly $600,000 contract to upgrade physical security within the premises at Mar-a-Lago for Trump's post-presidency transition. . .

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2736777]I have finally seen enough. Donald Trump will be indicted by a federal grand jury.
You heard me right: I believe Trump will actually be indicted for a criminal offense. Even with all its redactions, the probable cause affidavit published today by the magistrate judge in Florida makes clear to me three essential points:
(1) Trump was in unauthorized possession of national defense information, namely properly marked classified documents.
(2) he was put on notice by the USA Government that he was not permitted to retain those documents at Mar-a-Lago.
(3) he continued to maintain possession of the documents (and allegedly undertook efforts to conceal them in different places throughout the property) up until the FBI finally executed a search warrant earlier this month.
That is the ball game, folks. Absent some unforeseen change in factual or legal circumstances, I believe there is little left for the Justice Department to do but decide whether to wait until after the midterms to formally seek the indictment from the grand jury.
The cruelest irony for Trump is that it never needed to be this way.
Put aside that in the chaos following his election loss Trump's team never undertook the normal procedure for properly sorting through and archiving his presidential records in coordination with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Put aside that properly marked classified records were shipped to Mar-a-Lago and sat there for months until he began turning stuff over to NARA in late 2021.
If he had fully cooperated at that point, and returned all of the records to NARA last year, this likely never would have become a criminal matter. DOJ would have declined to take any action, notwithstanding the existence of the classified records, and it would have been a "no harm, no foul" situation. Just another minor story in the Trump saga of incompetence.
But Trump just could not bring himself to play by the rules. He turned over 15 boxes last January but did not turn over all the records. Political operatives from conservative organizations started whispering into his ear that he had legal precedent on his side to refuse to turn over the classified records to NARA (he did not). His lawyers surprisingly wrote a rather condescending letter to DOJ in May 2022, effectively arguing that even if there were still classified records at Mar-a-Lago the FBI lacked the authority to take any criminal action against Trump given his former status as president. Then, in June 2022 after the FBI executed a subpoena to recover more records at Mar-a-Lago, two Trump lawyers wrote (and one signed) a sworn affidavit reassuring the government there were no more classified records at the property.
We now know that statement was not true. The FBI found multiple more classified records, including some with markings for Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS / SCI) during the search this month, and not just located in the storage room with the other boxes of records. They found records located in different parts of Mar-a-Lago.
Of course, there are various arguments for why a prosecution might not succeed in this situation.
There is the contention by Trump and his allies that he declassified the documents, whether through a "standing order" or more specific verbal action. No evidence has been produced corroborating that assertion, and there certainly is no indication that the classification markings themselves were ever revised to reflect the declassification. The Trump lawyers in May certainly did not provide any such evidence in their letter to DOJ, and they similarly provided no evidence of it in their "motion" filed earlier this week in district court in Florida seeking a Special Master.
And that is before we even consider if the classification status would matter for an Espionage Act prosecution, which only requires that the information relate to the national defense.
There is also the issue of selective political prosecution and supposed bad faith by the government in its decision to pursue the case. This is something that has been mentioned ad nauseum by Trump allies on cable news, and was briefly mentioned in the "motion" filed earlier this week in court. Lacking from those arguments is anything beyond rank speculation. That will not fly in court. Just ask Sidney Powell how well it works to try to litigate in court the way you argue on cable news. Hint: it does not go well.
All in all, this case should and in my opinion will result in an indictment. Sure, an indictment does not equal a conviction. Trump is still assumed innocent until proven guilty. There are unknown variables like whether the prosecution would occur in Florida or in the. See. We do not know what evidence Trump might have to substantiate his declassification claim. And we do not know what the courts would say about his various arguments.
Get the popcorn ready either way.

Political operatives from conservative organizations started whispering into his ear that he had legal precedent on his side to refuse to turn over the classified records to NARA (he did not). His lawyers surprisingly wrote a rather condescending letter to DOJ in May 2022, effectively arguing that even if there were still classified records at Mar-a-Lago the FBI lacked the authority to take any criminal action against Trump given his former status as president. Then, in June 2022 after the FBI executed a subpoena to recover more records at Mar-a-Lago, two Trump lawyers wrote (and one signed) a sworn affidavit reassuring the government there were no more classified records at the property.
We now know that statement was not true. The FBI found multiple more classified records, including some with markings for Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS / SCI) during the search this month, and not just located in the storage room with the other boxes of records. They found records located in different parts of Mar-a-Lago.
Of course, there are various arguments for why a prosecution might not succeed in this situation.
There is the contention by Trump and his allies that he declassified the documents, whether through a "standing order" or more specific verbal action. No evidence has been produced corroborating that assertion, and there certainly is no indication that the classification markings themselves were ever revised to reflect the declassification. The Trump lawyers in May certainly did not provide any such evidence in their letter to DOJ, and they similarly provided no evidence of it in their "motion" filed earlier this week in district court in Florida seeking a Special Master.
And that is before we even consider if the classification status would matter for an Espionage Act prosecution, which only requires that the information relate to the national defense.
There is also the issue of selective political prosecution and supposed bad faith by the government in its decision to pursue the case. This is something that has been mentioned ad nauseum by Trump allies on cable news, and was briefly mentioned in the "motion" filed earlier this week in court. Lacking from those arguments is anything beyond rank speculation. That will not fly in court. Just ask Sidney Powell how well it works to try to litigate in court the way you argue on cable news. Hint: it does not go well.
All in all, this case should and in my opinion will result in an indictment. Sure, an indictment does not equal a conviction. Trump is still assumed innocent until proven guilty. There are unknown variables like whether the prosecution would occur in Florida or in the. See. We do not know what evidence Trump might have to substantiate his declassification claim. And we do not know what the courts would say about his various arguments.
Get the popcorn ready either way.

And what, pray tell, in what I posted, was false?
Are you saying that Trump was in authorized to be in possession of national defense information, namely properly marked classified documents? Because he was not. He can't declassify documents just by waving his magic wand. Furthermore, if he wanted certain documents declassified, that request needed to be memorialized, which means written down. No such memorialization exists. Which means, to everybody with an IQ higher that 6, that it never happened.
Are you saying that he was not put on notice by the USA Government that he was not permitted to retain those documents at Mar-a-Lago? . Because his lawyers said he had no more classified documents on June 3rd. They even signed an affidavit. Which means that Donnie the Dumbass lied to them.
Are you saying that he did not continue to maintain possession of the documents (and allegedly undertook efforts to conceal them in different places throughout the property) up until the FBI finally executed a search warrant earlier this month? Because the FBI found more classified documents when they raided Mar-a-Lago. They were told so by witnesses.
Because if that's what you're saying, then you are abso-freakin-lutely incorrect.

[QUOTE=Travv;2737019]Steve Musal: "I'm not a lawyer. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the majority of the Metropolitan's readers are also not lawyers. And while there are a few exceptions, I know most of my Facebook followers aren't lawyers. And yet, there are many people who seem to be so sure of their understanding about how a grand jury works, that they're willing to take any decision made at face value as proof of innocence or guilt.
That's not actually how a grand jury works. In a grand jury hearing, the prosecution (usually only the prosecution) presents evidence in a relaxed setting to the grand jury, who decide whether to issue an indictment ** whether there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime. Since, traditionally, the defense doesn't get a say, it's pretty easy to get a grand jury to indict someone in most cases. In fact, it's so easy in most cases that a former New York state chief judge, Sol Wachtler, famously remarked that a prosecutor could persuade a grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich. " On a federal level, in 2010 (the last year for which we have statistics), grand juries returned just 11 out of 162,000 violent crime cases without an indictment, according to the FBI's Bureau of Justice Statistics. . .

The sworn affidavit presented to secure the search warrant for Mar-a-Lago used by the FBI to raid Donald Trump's home had what appears to be a crucial error in it, one that could be easily debunked. If the facts detailed by independent journalist Paul Sperry are accurate, this could be enough to obliterate the Department of Justice's case against Trump. . . BREAKING: The FBI affiant who swore to the Mar-a-Lago search warrant appears to have made a critical factual error by stating in the unsealed affidavit: "I do not believe that any spaces within the PREMISES have been authorized for the storage of classified information. " This finding, which is the linchpin of the criminal case vs. Trump, overlooks the fact that: 1) White House records confirm that a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) authorizing the briefing and storage of classified material up to the TS / SCI level had in fact been installed at Mar-a-Lago; and, 2) records show that the Secret Service had recently awarded a nearly $600,000 contract to upgrade physical security within the premises at Mar-a-Lago for Trump's post-presidency transition. . .

Trump's disastrous decisions produced below average results at huge taxpayer expense vs the 11-12 most recent presidents in his "best" of times before they eventually produced the worst jobs creation results since at least Herbert Hoover.
He skyrocketed the national debt even more, mass murdered a million Americans and counting, produced, you guessed it, another Great Repub Recession, a second and even bigger Bear Market decline in the broad USA stock market, ZERO Infrastructure legislation in 4 straight miserable years of him hoping everyone would think he gave a damn and was trying and a total surrender in Afghanistan on whatever terms the Taliban wanted.
Under his stewardship we had two massive gains in illegal border crossings, global supply chains were destroyed, the inevitable hyper-inflation followed and he capped off his worst presidency of all time with the most aggressive attack on the rule of law, democracy and individual freedom along with gleeful support for authoritarian dictatorships since Adolph Hitler.
The entire four years of the Trump so-called presidency did not produce one tenth the positive results for America, the American people, America's National Security and the unity and strength of Western Democratic Alliances as any one month of the Biden Presidency so far.

I stopped reading after the first sentence
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2736897]LOL. It was everything he ever looked at or touched. A note written for hamburgers was specifically included in the warrant. Let me repeat: this was a general warrant and illegal. You still have no clue what that is.
It does not matter. You cannot use general warrants.
You did not read the Atlantic article. He can do exactly that.
How many documents were classified and how long would have copies have taken to be done? Biden sent in 30 people with machine guns. Maybe one with a copy machine would have been more appropriate.
Trump got a subpoena and his last words to NARA were come back and get whatever you want if you need it. They told him to put a lock on the door and he did. I have not played the whatabout card with Hiliary Clinton and Obama but the Attorney General brought it up and said the law was applied equally to everyone. He holds this press conference and it was just 4 minutes of pure bullshit lies: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEXkitl7rv4[/URL].
You really cannot read between the lines can you? Trump had documents that embarrassed the FBI. He was showing them to people and obviously did not want to give them up. That is what prompted this raid with machine guns. The FBI and Biden did not want him to have those documents.
So the government could destroy documents that embarrassed the FBI? LOL. Trump did not send in people with machine guns.
He did not stall. He complied with the subpoena. How many times do I have to say that? NARA allowed him to keep the documents in his possession and advised him to put a lock on the door. It was only when Trump was showing off the documents they freaked out.
The government knew what he had, fool. They left him be for months and then come up with machine guns. Quit with your legal bullshit. Why would they do that?
Sorry, I do not believe you. You are so deluded that you think that coming in with 30 agents with machine guns to an ex-president's house is appropriate. Sending in machine gun carrying agents to a political opponent is banana republic stuff! WTF is wrong with you that you think this is okay? Just because it is Trump? He is not just an ex-president but an American citizen.
Are you so dense that you cannot see that a biased FBI can be used against you? If Trump wins in 2024, he can pull the exact same stunt with every living Democratic president and political opponent. Some Democratic Senator takes something classified home and Trump can arrest him with the FBI? Do you think Trump is the only one who may have broken this law? Hiliary destroyed documents that were under subpoena. Trump had printed documents that were in a closet. Hiliary had a server on line open to the world. And you think she was the only one?
What harm are you talking about? You are the fools that destroyed the country by going after him from the second he walked into office.
But I am not voting for Trump. I am voting against the FBI, for the Constitution, and against a Banana Republic. The average person is not law abiding but breaks like three laws every day.
Maybe one of these days you will get that when it comes to political opponents, you use the courts to get documents not machine gun carrying agents. Maybe if you think on that real hard, it will get through that dense fucking skull of yours, and it is not just me.
Matt Taibbi is very critical of Trump, and the Wall Street Journal has been as well. They both had the same reaction with this affidavit. This is it?
You dumb Dems think this show of force is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

The people on the grand jury who do it are going to feel the heat. In most cases, the media respects the anonymity of the grand jury but this is not most cases. In fact, voting to indict might put you in the crosshairs of some nut with a gun. Are you going to risk your life over the crime of misplaced paperwork?
With a grand jury, you cannot bring a lawyer, only the prosecutor can speak and ask questions, and you have to answer everything. It is a really fucked up process. A grand jury IMO was supposed to be run by the people and not a prosecutor but that is how it is.
At the state level, things are not much better. Thing is Deshaun Watson was not indicted twice by a grand jury. Given that low standard to prosecute, I was like why did DW have to deal with anything more than that? That means there was nothing that could even be prosecuted. This went over the media's heads as they went to crush DW's reputation. All these NFL hacks were besides themselves trying to promote the idea that they were for women or their belief that the NFL could appeal more to women if they beat the snot out of DW. Peter King even quoted the asshole lawyer for these women as he said DW was guilty of sexual assault. Since when is assault not a crime?
As the NFL's main audience, you would not want me on a jury. If you tell me that a woman was offered $100,000 to deal with a guy who put her hand on his dick and then masturbated in front of her, and she said that was not enough and asked me for more, she is getting nothing for wasting my time. I put very little value on the damages of nonharmful contact and disgust. The country would be bankrupt if everyone sued for that and expected that kind of a payout. In fact, asking for that much scratch disgusts me.
And then the Buffalo Bills hear the same nonsense about their punter assaulting someone, so they cut him. The woman went between not remembering anything and being sure the punter raped her. You can see what lawyers and the Dems have in common, "Lawyer for alleged victim in gang-rape lawsuit against ex-Bills punter rips team following player's release".
Were the Bills supposed to keep a guy on the team who was an alleged rapist? Shouldn't you be happy he was cut? Oh right, now that he is not working, you and your client cannot get any money. Even If you win the case now, the punter will declare bankruptcy and you still get nothing. Gee, I wonder how long until this civil case is dropped. What a dumb Dem move.

China is at the top of the list of the 15 countries who manipulate their currencies, and the deficits the USA Has with each country.[/QUOTE]"The IMF Articles of Agreement prohibit countries from manipulating their currency for the purpose of gaining unfair trade advantage".
So how would a response to punitive import duties be "gaining unfair trade advantage"? It is merely seeking a fair trade.
The USA and every nation manipulates its currency through interest rate changes. It's standard government policy.
"China is at the top of the list of the 15 countries who manipulate their currencies".
Well of course it is; its a US governemnt list. Clearly the USA is only going to worry about the actions of its 'enemies; not its allies.

[QUOTE=JustTK;2737347]As I replied elsewhere, these are NOT communist policies. These policies are common in authoritarian and failing nations, such as the USA.[/QUOTE]Those are good points. I would also add bullshit wars when you can bash your peace loving opponents. Matt Taibbi, one of the few journalists I actually trust, has said Biden is recycling all of GWBush's Iraq war loving neocons. I hated GWB for that crap, and Taibbi has said Biden was the Dems biggest cheerleader with the Iraq war.
My buddy in the shipping business showed me all this crap in his warehouse and said it was "humanitarian aid" when in fact any fool could see it was for war. Now I can pick out the "humanitarian" packages and once again his warehouse was loaded with them, so I asked him, "Has this shit slowed down at all? And he said no, and these "humanitarian" packages started the second Biden took control.
So I know the war in Ukraine was provoked by Biden and now you are seeing the Dems trying to provoke China into war. Then you have these idiotic global warming policies that are going to cause Europeans to freeze this winter and have sent electricity prices soaring there. How bad off would we be if the Republicans did not call the Dems out for their global warming nonsense? And on top of that was the economy destroying lockdowns the Dems screamed for us to have.
All they have left is throwing money at people and war. They are literally bankrupt of ideas and will try to hold onto power not with smart moves but with war and the other things you mentioned JustTK.

Of course, the other downside for MSM doing so is they would then have to mention spineless Repub Trump's total surrender agreement with the Taliban on their terms and timetable.
The most horrible outcome of which was when Trump's beloved masters, The Taliban, allowed a single suicide bomber to breach their totally inadequate security and with that one bomb blast took out 13 USA military personnel and dozens of Afghans.
But, again, as Trump's own National Security Advisor admitted recently, that was Trump's deal, not Biden's:

There was no way Russia could stand for that. We (quite rightly) didn't stand for the Soviets stationing nukes in Cuba 60 years ago and this is very similar.
The Washington swamp wanted to provoke a war, sacrificing huge numbers of Ukrainian goyim (the Ukrainian Jews were all airlifted out by their cousin Zelensky when the war started). They thought they could collapse Russia's economy and turn Moscow to Globohomo. Red Square full of African immigrants and tranny grooming parades.
Thankfully, it backfired: Putin and Russia are winning the war with one hand tied behind their back (Russia hasn't even called up any reserves and hasn't resorted to serious bombing despite Zelensky's troops hiding among civilians in cities), and the Russian economy is going great, while Europe is in crisis and about to freeze to death this winter.
A welcome slap in the face for the neocon ZOG swamp and its murderous, nefarious goals.

Gallup Poll
Fun fact:
At a 44% Job Approval Rating, only 2 other presidents over the past 50+ years had a higher Job Approval Rating in the Gallup poll at this same point in their presidency.
They were not Reagan, 41%, and Trump, 41%.
[URL]https://news.gallup.com/poll/329384/presidential-approval-ratings-joe-biden.aspx[/URL]
Speaking of polls, the Repubs' temporary uncharacteristic advantage over the Dems in those Poll of Polls Generic Ballot questions has evaporated.
As of this writing the Dems have the advantage in the FiveThirtyEight version of that poll question. As long as the demonstrably Repub-leaning RealClearPolitics site ignores some of the more recent major polls and only waits for the next Rasmussen and Trafalgar poll, their version of it has kept the Repubs with less than a 1 percentage point advantage.
Meanwhile, Biden's Job Approval Rating in the RCP Poll of Polls remains the highest of the Job Approval / Favorability for any elected official or entity that could possibly solve the massive problems Trump left behind; The Leaders of each Party in the House and Senate, all of the House, all of the Senate.
It is also higher than jobless Trump's Favorability Rating, higher than Trump's Job Approval Rating after his first full year in office. Biden also regularly beats the first and second likely Repub choice for the 2024 Repub nomination in those hypothetical Head-to-Head matches; Trump and DeSantis.
At this point, unless the Repubs really pack the state and local ballot collecting / vote counting positions with all the Repub QAnon loons they can scrape off the underside of a rock to "find" them the votes they need to steal Congressional seats, the only things they have to run on and squeak out a win here and there are the historical tradition that the Party not in the WH wins seats in Congress in the first mid-term of that Party and all the usual extreme gerrymandering they typically employ to rig the election in their favor.
No other reason.

Why do you keep doing this

The warrant is for the whole house and includes the line "any government and / or presidential record created between January 20,2017 and January 20, 2021." Tell me you Dem does that not included Trump's passport. Isn't that a government document?

Your case that a magistrate signed the warrant and therefore makes it legal is stupid. Judges get their decisions overturned all the time. The whole point of the warrant was to cut out SCOTUS.
This was a general warrant and a fishing expedition. You Dems think Trump should not have any civil rights.[/QUOTE]See'Mon., Elvis. Why do you keep leaving out important parts of documents?
The warrant specifically excludes areas of the property that are rented or are not available to be used by Donnie the Dumbass. So, no, the warrant was not for the whole house. And besides, it simply does not matter. You claim that the warrant was a "fishing expedition" but you forget that a certain part of the affidavit mentioned [B]witnesses[/B]. Multiple witnesses. The testimony of these witnesses (who were probably just lowly service workers that Donnie the Dumbass never acknowledged) undoubtedly said that Donnie the Dumbass had some of these records moved from "place 1" to "place 2" within Mar-a-Lago. So the government couldn't be more specific than they were [B]because [i]had[/i] Donnie the Dumbass gotten wind of the impending raid, he'd have just had the boxes moved somewhere else[/B]. You can complain and obfuscate all you want but that's what the warrant was meant to prevent.
The warrant also enables the raid team to collect and and all documents that were stored with classified documents and presidential records. Why do you think that is? According to you, it is probably because you view the warrant as a fishing expedition. The reality is far different. See, if the boxes collected in January 2022 had been even marginally organized, perhaps the warrant could have been written differently. But the January 2022 return to NARA was haphazardly organized. So what was the DOJ supposed to assume about the remaining boxes at Mar-a-Lago [B]that Donnie the Dumbass swore that he [i]didn't[/i] have[/B]?
I previously tried to tell you, by providing sources, what the difference was between a "presidential record" and as "private record". You could have availed yourself of the sources I provided to educate yourself about what the differences are. You obviously did not.
You mentioned, in another post, about the raid team seizing Donnie the Dumbass' passport. Undoubtedly, the passport was dumped haphazardly into one of the boxes that were seized. I don't know about you but the last time I renewed my passport in 2017, the US Government required that I return my old passport with the $110 check. The old passport was not returned. Donnie the Dumbass had 3 passports! How did that happen? Even if his passport expired during his time in office, he should have had only 1 passport. Maybe 2, if he was issued the black-covered FSO passport. But, that FSO passport wasn't his to keep, was it?
Civil rights? Donnie the Dumbass was accorded more "rights" than he was entitled to. NARA began "negotiating" with him soon after he left office. (In truth, they shouldn't have. They should have just gone into Mar-a-Lago and taken back what Donnie the Dumbass had stolen) Donnie the Dumbass obfuscated and delayed for almost a year before he returned less than half of what he stole from the Government. Then, the Government gave him even more time to return what he illegally possessed. But he had his lawyers lie for him and say that he had nothing more to give. Hence the raid because those pesky witnesses said that he lied to the Government.
The simple fact of the matter is that you are wrong. Again.

There was no way Russia could stand for that. We (quite rightly) didn't stand for the Soviets stationing nukes in Cuba 60 years ago and this is very similar.
The Washington swamp wanted to provoke a war, sacrificing huge numbers of Ukrainian goyim (the Ukrainian Jews were all airlifted out by their cousin Zelensky when the war started). They thought they could collapse Russia's economy and turn Moscow to Globohomo. Red Square full of African immigrants and tranny grooming parades.
Thankfully, it backfired: Putin and Russia are winning the war with one hand tied behind their back (Russia hasn't even called up any reserves and hasn't resorted to serious bombing despite Zelensky's troops hiding among civilians in cities), and the Russian economy is going great, while Europe is in crisis and about to freeze to death this winter.
A welcome slap in the face for the neocon ZOG swamp and its murderous, nefarious goals.[/QUOTE]You believe what you want to believe which is everything pro-Russian. As a matter of fact, why don't you move to Moscow?
The truth about Ukraine in 2015 is far different. There was no "coup. " After about three months of protests and police violence against demonstrators, Ukrainian president Yanukovych fled the country to escape prosecution, was kicked out of his own party, and voted out of office, peacefully, by a majority of the democratically elected parliament, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. The largest block of parliamentarians that voted him out were his own party members and former party members. His cabinet resigned. The parliament appointed an interim government, and free and fair elections were held a few months later, despite a Russian invasion and ongoing war. The initial protests had been caused by Yanukovych abandoning a trade deal due to Russian interference, aggravated by him ramming through unconstitutional authoritarian laws with the encouragement of the Russian president, and culminating in violence publicly endorsed by the Russians.

They accuse Afgstn, Somalia, Ethiopia, All are terrorists. Really? No, the only consistent terrorist here is the USA.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2737897]See'Mon., Elvis. Why do you keep leaving out important parts of documents?
The warrant specifically excludes areas of the property that are rented or are not available to be used by Donnie the Dumbass.[/QUOTE]LOL. That means nothing. You need to go back and educated yourself as to why the founding fathers outlawed general warrants.
The DOJ's own rules say they are supposed to use the least aggressive means possible to seize things. So whatever the affidavits said, they had better say that Trump threatened to destroy or move the documents. If they do not, you Dems are fucked and of course they do not and that is why the affidavits were redacted. That part, if it was there, should have been the first thing redacted, and it was not there. By the DOJ's own rules, a new subpoena should have been issued or the old subpoena should have been enforced.
You also do not know that the government has a legal advisory panel so if the issue is getting classified documents from Trump, you should let the panel research this and come up with the best and most legal way it can be done.
Was that done here? Fuck no. Garland did this all on his own. He was like, "Fuck it, let us just do a general warrant with machine guns. " Do you get how badly his ass in hanging in the wind for doing that? It was just, "I am the attorney general. I will do whatever the fuck I want. " His not doing this IMO is grounds for impeachment.
If the issue was Trump having classified documents, then the warrant, which was never needed, should have been just for classified documents. That the warrant was not limited to classified documents is a major boner as was breaking into Trump's safe.
The funny part is that the liberal press is calling for an indictment. They are even saying that the Republicans have been quiet on the issue. I told you much smarter and objective sources who do not even like Trump have asked the question, "Is this it?" after they saw the affidavit.
Unlike you, I know this is not going anywhere. Matt Taibbi has said so, but all the dumb liberal media is talking about is what Trump did wrong. If the government goes forward with this, guess who gets to decide whether the evidence gathered against Trump can be used? Eventually, it will be in the lap of SCOTUS. They can toss everything but they are not going to. They are going to accept Trump's declassification order. And after that, the government will say there is the process to declassify. SCOTUS will say, "Okay, you have a month" and then we will all see this incredibly important information the government was trying to hide was in fact the FBI just covering its ass again.
How do I know that? Trump is saying release everything, and the government is lying, saying Trump was keeping nuclear secrets. If there is a criminal case, and there will not be, those records will be seen by the public.
If it does go forward you all will try to spin this as being different with Hiliary when what she did was worse. The FBI let Hiliary go after she destroyed classified documents under subpoena and before then allowing those documents to be seen by the world. It is insane to go after Trump who can declassify practically anything versus Clinton who cannot and is the definition of a double standard.
And we have seen Hunter Biden's laptop content where he is fucking under age woman and smoking crack. And there are all the documents of his payouts from foreign governments, and Tony Bobulinski, has said on the air and certainly would sign an affidavit if asked, said that Joe Biden knew about said payouts and was selling influence. Hell, we already had the phone call of him telling Hunter all was well. There is probably enough on that laptop to put Hunter away for life, but the FBI is still "working on it". Would Trump have had to ask the Ukrainian government to investigate Hunter if the FBI were doing their fucking jobs?
Hell, we even now know the diary of pedo Joe taking showers with his daughter, who called them "probably inappropriate", was real. Yeah, the FBI has no time to charge Hunter Biden with anything but they sure had time to nail the people who stole Ashley Biden's diary.
The FBI and Garland did not issue this illegal warrant to charge Trump. They did it to get embarrassing documents. I am sorry that you do not see that. I hope they do charge him and embarrass themselves even more.

Yeah, Biden's last stand with Russia was when Putin asked Biden if he was willing to keep Ukraine out of NATO. Biden said no and then Putin went in. Putin had no choice, and Biden wanted war. Why do we even have NATO now?
The irony is these days most wars seem to be about energy. The whole Syria fiasco was about a natural gas pipeline through Syria from Saudi Arabia. It did not even benefit us, but we seemed to be willing to do anything to placate Saudi Arabia or we were until we became energy independent. So why are we there now when we can be supplying Europe natural gas instead of Russia or Saudi Arabia? Because Biden is pro-war, and he wants to hurt American energy companies and hand over Europe's electricity market to the Saudis.
In the mean time, Europe and especially Germany is set to freeze its asses off this winter. Prices are through the roof there, and Europe is going into recession. I wonder how those solar panels will work this winter. Was there any idea more stupid than solar power in Germany?
Every citizen there will be praying for global warming come this winter. You can't make this shit up.
Thing is I think most Republicans were willing to transition to non-polluting nuclear and near non-polluting natural gas for electricity and away from polluting coal. As long as the change was gradual, I would be all for that.
Before the move to sell LNG and natural gas prices skyrocketed, natural gas powered cars made sense. Hell, even having a second vehicle that is electric for shorter trips can make sense for some people.
But the idea we get all our power from solar and wind is beyond stupid and now we have California banning the sale of all cars that are not electric, and we have to do it to save the planet? Say what? We have had 20 years until the earth for the last 40 years now. Even Elon Musk had to come out and speak in favor of fossil fuels.
You would think we would hold these fucking scientists accountable for being wrong but like with Fauci and lockdowns, they get a pass. Can you imagine how fucked up we would be this winter if we Republicans had not stood up to these blowhards?
My God, these dumb Dems are so stupid with their virtue signaling and fucking hysteria. We do not want to catch Covid or be breathing in dirty air either but maybe the choices need not involve destroying freedom or going cold in the winter.

The "swamp" is you while you side with Jan 6th traitors and America's historic enemies.

Well firstly let me congratulate you on admitting that the Trump trade war was a complete failure. According to you the Chinese dropped their exchange rate and by doing that the tariffs had no impact because the pricing was the same going into the US. All the pain the farmers went through requiring the huge unauthorized bailout was for nothing because all China needed to do to win the Trump disaster trade war was to drop their exchange rate.
So back to the point. Your exchange rate spin is still that. Importers paid the tax not China, Importers passed that price increase over to consumers and Trump handed those taxes over to farmers to buy their votes just like you accuse Biden of doing with student loans. Anyone with an ounce of integrity would just admit the simple facts of the matter but that is beyond you. Unless its business getting a handout or tax cut all we get from you and your ilk is rage. Guess what, you don't always get what you want, there is always a squareup when the other side is always on the wrong side of the handouts.

Yushenko had been poisoned with dioxin and Yanukovich had supposedly won after massive voter fraud. After a redo triggered by the Supreme Court annulling the result Yushenko won.
I married a girl from Kiev. Her parents lived in Kiev. When Yanukovich won in 2010 they we all happy, Yanukovich is a good guy, Putin is a great leader blah blah. When Yanukovich pulled out of the European trade deal on orders from Putin the people protested. Ukranians want to be close to Europe, they want the higher value trade, access to good jobs not be tied to the corrupt Russian economy. When Yanukovich brought in thugs from the east to quell the protests and started shooting protestors my wife was horrified. When other police and military refused to obey Yanukovichs illegal orders he fled.
No it was not a coup it was the people rejecting a corrupt regime. My now ex wife and her family hate Yanukovich and Putin with a passion. There are around 40 million Ukrainians who share that view. The situation today is due to the meddling of Putin ordering Yanukovich to pull out of the European trade deal and to put down the protestors. That turned supporters into die hard opponents of the majority of Ukrainians.

P.S. The Bio Labs
Regarding the bio-labs in Ukraine, these have a medical purpose, diagnostics, vaccines, treatments, etc. And by no means a military one. That's in spite of some howling from traitorous far-right podcasters and even a bit from Tucker Carlson early on. And if there was anything to this hogwash, why didn't Russia use it as a justification prior to the invasion? All we heard was whining about NATO.

Well, here it is
The Feds filed another nail in Donnie the Dumbass' coffin last night just before midnight Eastern Daylight Time.
To support the filing, the Feds took pictures of some of the boxes that Donnie the Dumbass had at Mar-a-Lago. I tried to attach the photo to quiet those members of the moron brigade who say that Donnie the Dumbass didn't have any classified material. It was in the wrong format so I have included an article with the photo instead. [URL]https://news.yahoo.com/us-respond-request-special-master-151511326.html[/URL].
And to those members of the moron brigade who claim that Donnie the Dumbass cooperated fully with the Feds, the following source shoots massive holes into that argument. [URL]https://news.yahoo.com/timeline-fbi-search-of-trumps-mar-a-lago-estate-followed-a-monthslong-probe-193531150.html[/URL].
To those members of the moron brigade who claim that Donnie the Dumbass had a "standing order to declassify everything", there's this: "the claim that Trump had a standing declassification order has been widely disputed by members of his own administration. CNN spoke to 18 former Trump administration officials who said they had never heard of any such order, some calling the claim "nonsense" and "bullshit. "" The source is from the above citation.
And finally, to the remaining members of the moron brigade who still claim that Donnie the Dumbass actually did declassify the documents in the photo, please answer the following questions. If the documents actually were declassified, that means that anybody in the entire world ought to have access to them. Do you agree? And furthermore, if the documents in question were declassified, why did Donnie the Dumbass have them? They are part of the public record and he was illegally in possession of them.

This is clearly not the case; in fact the opposite is true.

Of course it was a coup. Your statement merely shows you do not understand what a coup is. People rejecting a corrupt regime would not exclude a coup.

And there's even more
Yep.
It is very likely that [B]either[/B] the "video surveillance footage" of the Mar-a-Lago storage room where Donnie the Dumbass kept his illegally obtained classified information [B]or[/B] witness testimony, led the DOJ to believe that Donnie the Dumbass had records moved from the storage room to other parts of his residence. "The government also developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the Storage Room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation," the department said in a filing in USA District Court in the Southern District of Florida. [URL]https://news.yahoo.com/u-justice-dept-responds-trump-033151965.html[/URL].
And furthermore, the Government says that Donnie the Dumbass brought all of this on himself. Had he just returned the classified documents as requested, none of this would have happened. Which begs the question, did Donnie the Dumbass purposely withhold the documents to see what the DOJ would do? [URL]https://news.yahoo.com/justice-department-offers-scathing-response-035001888.html[/URL].
The moron brigade will, however, try to spin this. Probably with a "but the search warrant" or "but her emails" deflection.

I don't know how to point to it so I'll copy-and-paste what he said: "Well maybe you should go and live in some of these countries to see what the real situation is. I first went to Kiev when the protesters were camped on Kreshatik during the orange revolution protesting the obviously rigged election in 2004. Yushenko had been poisoned with dioxin and Yanukovich had supposedly won after massive voter fraud. After a redo triggered by the Supreme Court annulling the result Yushenko won.
I married a girl from Kiev. Her parents lived in Kiev. When Yanukovich won in 2010 they we all happy, Yanukovich is a good guy, Putin is a great leader blah blah. When Yanukovich pulled out of the European trade deal on orders from Putin the people protested. Ukranians want to be close to Europe, they want the higher value trade, access to good jobs not be tied to the corrupt Russian economy. When Yanukovich brought in thugs from the east to quell the protests and started shooting protestors my wife was horrified. When other police and military refused to obey Yanukovichs illegal orders he fled.
No it was not a coup it was the people rejecting a corrupt regime. My now ex wife and her family hate Yanukovich and Putin with a passion. There are around 40 million Ukrainians who share that view. The situation today is due to the meddling of Putin ordering Yanukovich to pull out of the European trade deal and to put down the protestors. That turned supporters into die hard opponents of the majority of Ukrainians. ".
That Ukraine [B]was[/B] a shit show at one point in time has absolutely no bearing on them now. Case in point, if you see interviews of Donnie the Dumbass from the 70's, he sounds like a more-or-less normal human being. Now he sounds like a raving lunatic.

Obviously you are not a businessman
[QUOTE=GDreams;2738052]LOL. Well firstly let me congratulate you on admitting that the Trump trade war was a complete failure. According to you the Chinese dropped their exchange rate and by doing that the tariffs had no impact because the pricing was the same going into the US. All the pain the farmers went through requiring the huge unauthorized bailout was for nothing because all China needed to do to win the Trump disaster trade war was to drop their exchange rate.
So back to the point. Your exchange rate spin is still that. Importers paid the tax not China, Importers passed that price increase over to consumers and Trump handed those taxes over to farmers to buy their votes just like you accuse Biden of doing with student loans. Anyone with an ounce of integrity would just admit the simple facts of the matter but that is beyond you. Unless its business getting a handout or tax cut all we get from you and your ilk is rage. Guess what, you don't always get what you want, there is always a squareup when the other side is always on the wrong side of the handouts. Maybe you should consider that and support moderates instead of fascist scum.
I spent 4 years in Mongolia buy equipment from China, I am pretty familiar with Chinese business so I don't require any lessons from you.[/QUOTE]Obviously you are not a businessman that did business with China. At least not on the financial side. I did over $200 million dollars with China over 10 years importing into USA, Canada and Kazakhstan. Paid millions on anti dumping tariffs but still charged our customers a lower price because China devalued their currency. The factories and workers get paid in RMB. When we purchased $1,000,000 RMB of product before devalation we paid $158,478 USD. After devaluing their currency we paid $140,845 USD. We paid the 10% so our total cost was $154,930 which allowed us to sell to our customers at the same price we had before the tariffs. But under Trump tarriffs the USA government collected billions, China factories got billions less. With the trade war farmers lost business. Trump just made sure that the farmers were not hurt and gave them a small percentage of what he collected.
You obviously need lessons from somebody because you never learned anything from your supposed business.

Well let's see, Russia has an economy about the size of the state of Texas, and are dwarfed economically by the US and many western Euro countries that value diversity.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2738034]Really? Lolol Then why did they tuck tail and run from Kyiv[/QUOTE]Again, an ignorant Western fake news-washed take. The Kiev (not "Kyiv") fake attack was a short-term feint to tie down huge numbers of Ukrainian troops while Russia and the DPR and LPR forces carried out important maneouvres in the east.

The reality is that Russia has gone in soft, with an undermanned force, and a very limited bombing campaign. They could have turned the whole of Ukraine to rubble as the US did in Iraq, but they haven't.
[QUOTE=Paulie97;2738034]You are just parroting Russian state propaganda.

[URL]https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/08/ukraine-ukrainian-fighting-tactics-endanger-civilians/[/URL].
"Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm's way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals.
Such tactics violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians, as they turn civilian objects into military targets.
"We have documented a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas," said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International's Secretary General. ".
I'll accept your grovelling apology tomorrow.
The rest of your fake news rubbish is barely worth looking at. Europe is having an energy crisis so bad that German ministers are telling people to wipe themselves with a damp towel instead of taking a shower. Energy prices have skyrocketed and people will die of cold this winter as they cannot afford both eating and heating.
And your 80 k Russian deaths figure is laughably absurd. There are hardly that many Russian troops there. They are winning all the same.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2738002]Good summary, Chris. Yeah, Biden's last stand with Russia was when Putin asked Biden if he was willing to keep Ukraine out of NATO. Biden said no and then Putin went in. Putin had no choice, and Biden wanted war. Why do we even have NATO now?
The irony is these days most wars seem to be about energy. The whole Syria fiasco was about a natural gas pipeline through Syria from Saudi Arabia. It did not even benefit us, but we seemed to be willing to do anything to placate Saudi Arabia or we were until we became energy independent. So why are we there now when we can be supplying Europe natural gas instead of Russia or Saudi Arabia? Because Biden is pro-war, and he wants to hurt American energy companies and hand over Europe's electricity market to the Saudis.
In the mean time, Europe and especially Germany is set to freeze its asses off this winter. Prices are through the roof there, and Europe is going into recession. I wonder how those solar panels will work this winter. Was there any idea more stupid than solar power in Germany?
Every citizen there will be praying for global warming come this winter. You can't make this shit up.
Thing is I think most Republicans were willing to transition to non-polluting nuclear and near non-polluting natural gas for electricity and away from polluting coal. As long as the change was gradual, I would be all for that.
Before the move to sell LNG and natural gas prices skyrocketed, natural gas powered cars made sense. Hell, even having a second vehicle that is electric for shorter trips can make sense for some people.
But the idea we get all our power from solar and wind is beyond stupid and now we have California banning the sale of all cars that are not electric, and we have to do it to save the planet? Say what? We have had 20 years until the earth for the last 40 years now. Even Elon Musk had to come out and speak in favor of fossil fuels.
You would think we would hold these fucking scientists accountable for being wrong but like with Fauci and lockdowns, they get a pass. Can you imagine how fucked up we would be this winter if we Republicans had not stood up to these blowhards?
My God, these dumb Dems are so stupid with their virtue signaling and fucking hysteria. We do not want to catch Covid or be breathing in dirty air either but maybe the choices need not involve destroying freedom or going cold in the winter.[/QUOTE]Yes, the sensible thing would have been to say that Ukraine wouldn't join NATO, but continue integrating it toward the West. Russia wouldn't have had a casus belli. They hadn't invaded in the 8 years since the 2014 CIA coup so there was no reason they would have without the NATO idiocy.
The swamp got greedy. They thought they could take out Putin and get Russia into the Globohomo system. Instead, they have made Putin more popular than ever, made the Russian military battle-hardened, and by moronically increasing the price of Russia's oil and gas made Russia's economy stronger while the West enters recession and double-digit inflation. And they're losing the war too. It reminds me of that clown continually stepping on rakes which smack him in the face.
As for power, solar and wind are bullshit. The cost (financial and "carbon") to construct those massive windmills is vast, and they only work for a few years (killing vast numbers of birds) before they give up the ghost and have to be taken down and disposed of. The whole thing is a big grift where favored companies (probably friends of Biden and Pelosi) get huge taxpayer-funded govt grants for their worthless shit that doesn't work. Michael Moore, of all people, produced a surprisingly good film about the renewables scam called Planet of the Humans.

[URL]https://news.yahoo.com/justice-department-offers-scathing-response-035001888.html[/URL].[/QUOTE]LOL. The FBI stepped on its dick again. Taking photos of classified information (as the FBI just did) is illegal. As Trump said, it is good thing he declassified them or whomever took that photo belongs in jail.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2738216]The moron brigade will, however, try to spin this.

No one I know did, so what is the point of showing the photo? Here is a hint. The FBI is getting desperate.
Why did the FBI and DOJ react like this? Because Trump wanted a "special master" to look at the documents. A "special master" is a an objective third party like a former judge who will review the documents and the FBI and DOJ are vehemently opposed to an independent third party looking at them. Gee, I wonder why.
Your Yahoo article was practically written by the FBI, and this is so stupid I cannot believe you buy it. "Even if Trump did, in fact, declassify all of the documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago, it might not make a difference.

So they possibly illegally take a photo of classified information and now say that documents being classified does not matter? LOL. That is the brilliant FBI for you.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2738216]If the documents actually were declassified, that means that anybody in the entire world ought to have access to them. Do you agree?

They are part of the public record and he was illegally in possession of them.[/QUOTE]Are you really that dumb? How many times has Trump gone to war with the FBI, and you dumb Dems have taken the FBI's side and lost? Trump said the FBI spied on him during his campaign.

Hell, Comey even leaked a document (funny like Hiliary he was not prosecuted either. Gee why was that?
This latest outrage was because the FBI does not want anyone seeing those documents. Obviously, you missed that part. And hell yeah, if the documents have been declassified and belong to us, I sure as hell want to see them and what all this fuss is about. Now the content of the documents will be known to someone else.
You must be in favor of the National Archives and FBI keeping documents where the FBI fucked up from public eyes. Yeah, you government loving Democratic morons think our government never fucks up. That is why having amnesia in part of being a Dem.
And the two latest Garland initiatives. We are going to wait until after the mid terms to decide on criminal activity. HA HA HA HA HA HA! Yeah, this was not a political move but we are waiting until after the midterm elections before doing anything. Remember Garland is not on SCOTUS due to Trump, no conflict there.
And the other is FBI agents can no longer go to political functions. This is so Garland. We want to try to not appear to be political even though everyone knows we are.
I told you the purpose of this was never to prosecute Trump but get the documents because they make the FBI look like shit and now someone is going to get to see what they are. You are just so stupidly anti-Trump you do not see it.
What you do not get is that federal law is so broad that you can nail anyone for anything, and that is why it is super important to have an objective and consistent law enforcement which we do not have.
You are so stupid you probably buy the line that DOJ is looking into Hunter Biden and waiting to make its case. What a crock. Hunter incriminates himself on his own fucking laptop. There is no "making the case". Just like sitting on the Trump case for political purposes, the DOJ is doing the same damned thing with Hunter.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2737970]LOL. That means nothing. You need to go back and educated yourself as to why the founding fathers outlawed general warrants.
The DOJ's own rules say they are supposed to use the least aggressive means possible to seize things. So whatever the affidavits said, they had better say that Trump threatened to destroy or move the documents. If they do not, you Dems are fucked and of course they do not and that is why the affidavits were redacted. [/QUOTE]Wrong wrong wrong Fat Elvis. The FBI pulled over 300 classified documents out of the criminal headquarters at Mar-a-Lago.
Double Agent TrumpShit had Top Secret Files in his desk.
Double Agent TrumpShit had Top Secret files in a box in his bedroom. In the TrumpShit safe too.
Double Agent TrumpShit even had torn-up TS reading materials by his personal toilet, waiting for the next flushes.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2737970]You also do not know that the government has a legal advisory panel so if the issue is getting classified documents from Trump, you should let the panel research this and come up with the best and most legal way it can be done.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2737970]The funny part is that the liberal press is calling for an indictment. They are even saying that the Republicans have been quiet on the issue.

Jan 6th's coup test-run

No seriously, wingnuts -- why?
Why did the man who's been so cozy with Putler that he went to talk to him without an interpreter, who has called him a genius for invading a country and killing tens of thousands civilians -- why did he keep classified documents in his fancy timeshare resort?
What other USA Presidents have done anything like that?
There is only one reasonable explanation: his relationship with Vlad the Impaler ain't over. That would explain why he felt the risk of exposure and even criminal prosecution would be worth keeping his boss happy.

'Law and Order' Repubs encourage more 'Legitimate Political Discourse' like that
[QUOTE=Spidy;2738482]Both spot on.
But, don't you know, Jan 6th's coup, was just a test run and the QAnon Quackery, aims to get it right in 2024, now that they "think", they know what a "real" coup should look like.[/QUOTE]The House Repubs voted unanimously to Defund the State and Local Police, then tried to pull the wool over our eyes by claiming, "Oh, no. We were just voting against all those other things in the legislation that Americans want their tax money to provide."
Until they got caught now demanding to Defund the Nation's Top Cops, the FBI, as a stand alone Repub wish!
In the interim, there they were organizing, inciting, cheering, saluting then defending and praising their violent mob of cop-attacking, maiming and killing traitors against American democracy.
But that wasn't enough cop-attacking, maiming and killing for Repubs. So, naturally, they decided to officially label murderous violence against the Police as 'Legitimate Political Discourse' in a sick and twisted ploy to encourage and invite every American to attack, maim and kill cops as though it was their patriotic duty to do so!
Ultimately, they can no longer claim to be the 'Law and Order' Party with a shred of truth to it since that pattern has been chiseled in the granite of history. Nor can they claim to be 'Tough on Crime' when their all-time most beloved lord and savior Repub Party Leader is himself a criminal.

Either the sitting president is arrested and thrown in jail (occassionally executed), or he flees.[/QUOTE]No not even close to everyone in the world thinks it was as coup. By your definition Richard Nixons removal from office was a coup, Boris Johnson was a coup? I guess Sth Korea has had several coups.

California at its finest
California residents are reacting to mixed messages from California leadership, as the state is asking residents to refrain from charging electric vehicles amid heat wave blackout fears, just one week after passing legislation banning the sale of gas cars by 2035.
The California Independent System Operator has warned that stress on the energy grid could lead to blackouts and called for consumer conservation between 4 pm And 9 pm.
Wednesday's announcement comes less than one week after California regulators moved to require all new vehicles in the state to run on electricity by 2035, an ambitious goal by the country's most populous state to phase out gasoline-powered automobiles and curb carbon emissions.
Yes California is telling residents to stop charging their electric cars during the heat wave. It will really be a green state when has cars are gone and electric cars can't charge their batteries.

After all the shit the FBI has pulled, you are so stupid that you think the FBI and government is perfect.

The government is doing everything I said to do now which is focus on sick people and leave mostly healthy people alone. The government has stopped paying for testing, tossing $100 billions worth of expired vaccines and sadly is not paying for monoclonal antibodies, and the death rate for the vaccinated is higher than the unvaccinated.
Like with masks, Fauci contradicted himself and is saying he was always against lockdowns. Even the CDC has admitted their response was screwed up. Outside of a prediction based upon the earliest strain of the virus two years ago using modeling, which I took back once the virus mutated, no one has been more right about Covid that me.
What is funny with dumb Dems like you is that you have not kept up. Elvira? LOL. Your heroes, Biden, Fauci, and the Pfizer CEO, got immunized and boosted x 4 and all got Covid, and you dummies are still arguing for the benefits of the vaccine. How dumb are you people?

Vlad is God, long live Russia
[QUOTE=ChrisP;2738365]LOL. Imagine actually unironically doing the "diversity is our strength" schtick in 2022. See my previous post for how diversity is destroying the US military. And imagine mentioning Afghanistan when trying to hype up the US military. Yes, the same Afghanistan that just inflicted the most humiliating defeat and retreat in the history of said military.
Again, an ignorant Western fake news-washed take. The Kiev (not "Kyiv") fake attack was a short-term feint to tie down huge numbers of Ukrainian troops while Russia and the DPR and LPR forces carried out important maneouvres in the east. The tiny number of troops deployed by Russia show that they never intended to capture the city. They don't want Kiev; they want the Russian-speaking areas in the south and east.
ROFL. One single goofy doofus on fake news CNN. Wouldn't be surprised if he's a crisis actor.
What? First you say Russia is mobilizing, then you say they aren't mobilizing because they haven't declared war. Get your story straight, doofus.
The reality is that Russia has gone in soft, with an undermanned force, and a very limited bombing campaign. They could have turned the whole of Ukraine to rubble as the US did in Iraq, but they haven't.
Amnesty International just released a report stating that Ukrainian troops are hiding behind human shields. [URL]https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/08/ukraine-ukrainian-fighting-tactics-endanger-civilians/[/URL].
"Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm's way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals.
Such tactics violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians, as they turn civilian objects into military targets.
"We have documented a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas," said Agns Callamard, Amnesty International's Secretary General. ".
I'll accept your grovelling apology tomorrow.
The rest of your fake news rubbish is barely worth looking at. Europe is having an energy crisis so bad that German ministers are telling people to wipe themselves with a damp towel instead of taking a shower. Energy prices have skyrocketed and people will die of cold this winter as they cannot afford both eating and heating.
And your 80 k Russian deaths figure is laughably absurd. There are hardly that many Russian troops there. They are winning all the same.
As for our enemy, the real enemy of the heritage American people is the Washington swamp. Putin didn't open our borders or cut our kids' dicks off. (Protip: whenever there's a conflict, the side with child trannies are the bad guys).[/QUOTE]You mess with what is in the best interest of the people and they will throw you off a balcony.

See, one of the many things that you don't understand is that lawyers who lie in court are subject to severe penalties. That's why [B]none[/B] of the 60+ election lawsuits filed by Donnie the Dumbass' lawyers alleged election fraud.

Donnie the Dumbass' lawyers couldn't provide election fraud proof and they can't provide declassification proof. They may be working for minimum wage but they aren't stupid. (Well, they are but they work cheap) What good is your supposed law degree if you can't even understand a basic legal ethics question such as that? Something that's taught in the first week of law school. (My brother is a lawyer and he said that that subject is covered very early in law school).
So, the documents in question [B]have not been declassified[/B]. Even members of Donnie the Dumbass' own so-called administration have said that his blanket declassification order was "bullshit". Since the documents haven't been declassified, nobody can see them unless they have the appropriate security clearance. Donnie's own lawyers even said that the documents haven't been declassified (see above).
And, besides, the documents [B]do not belong to Donnie the Dumbass[/B]. How many times does somebody need to say this before you get it through your thick skull. That is the question here. And the overriding one at that. The rest of of your arguments are, as usual, a smokescreen.
Donnie the Dumbass was illegally in possession of classified documents. He, himself, signed into law a bill increasing the penalty for such an act to a felony and five (5) years in prison. He was so stupid that he thought that he'd be able to pin that charge on HRC. Too bad the bill didn't specify 5 years for every document. You probably can't do the math but, at last count, Donnie the Dumbass had illegal possession of more than 230 classified documents after January 20th, 2020.5 * 230 = 1,150 years in prison. Somehow, I don't think he'd come out of that sentence alive. Lucky for him that he didn't sign a bill that sasid that anybody in possession of classified documents should be shot. Remember, he said that about Assange and Snowden. And Donnie the Dumbass is [B]guilty of the same crime that he wanted them shot for[/B].

Of course rabid QAnon loons love you
[QUOTE=JustTK;2738705]Thats because I am not a "wacko left dem douche". I am a Marxist terrorist. Haha. Kiddin. I am an anarchist, not a communist. I beleive in transnationalism. If you want some homework, you should look into it. You might find its not so "nuts" after all. - Imagine, if you will, the USA as a template for the world. Anyone can go and live or work anywhere they like. Freedom of movement, no borders. Now imagine that you remove the federal government and you decentralise the decision making back to county level, or even lower. That's pretty much what I want for the entire world.
Absolutely correct. The trouble is, both sides of the political spectrum in the USA are equally guilty of that. Neither side is capable of accepting that their own party represents the wealthy only. Both sides instead stick to the tried and tested method of ignoring their own mistakes and hurling custard pies at the opposition.
Don't you see where that appraoch gets you? I will tell you where. Right here, in this mess that the USA has landed. This is the result of decades of passing the baton between one group of corrupt wealthy benefactors to another. And supporters of both sides just continue to blame the other. Well, I guess you get what you deserve.[/QUOTE]The reason Chris and the Marquis love you is because they know your False Equivalency Bothsiderism only serves to help their beloved USA Economy-destroying Repubs get elected.
Only one Party and POTUSes pass legislation that, among other beneficial results, raise or establish reasonable minimum tax rates on the "wealthy only" in order to pay for the benefits and services the vast majority of Americans want their tax money to pay for and provide. That would be the Democratic Party.
Hence, Dems have produced every major economic boom time and massive private sector jobs creation of the past 100 years or so and none of the Great Recessions and Great Crashes.
Only one Party has systematically reduce and eliminate taxes for the "wealthy only" in order to, among other disastrous results, 'starve the beast' of the vast majority getting what they want their tax money to pay for and provide. That would be the Republican Party.
Hence, Repubs have produced every Great Recession, Great Crash and massive private sector job destruction of the past 100 years or so and none of the boom times and massive private sector job creation.
Only one Party wants more Americans to vote and makes it easier for them to do so while only one Party wants fewer Americans to vote and makes it harder for them to do so.
Do I even need to cite which one is which?
Your pro Repub False Equivalency and Bothsiderism helps immeasurably to produce the very "mess" you are presumably referring to. You really might as well stand in line behind the most rabid America-hating QAnon loons and match their Repub votes all down the ballot for every election.

Wave a Red Bye-Bye
[B]What Democrats' Win In Alaska Tells Us About November.
Sept. 1, 2022[/B]
[URL]https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-democrats-win-in-alaska-tells-us-about-november/[/URL]
[QUOTE]For the second time in as many weeks, Democrats have won a competitive special election. And by the numbers, this win was even more impressive than last weeks victory in New Yorks 19th District.
....
Impressively, Peltola managed to prevail despite Alaska being a fairly red state. According to FiveThirtyEights partisan lean metric, Alaska is 15 percentage points redder than the nation as a whole. That means going by the results in the final round, Peltolas 3-point victory was an 18-point overperformance for Democrats. By contrast, last week, Democrat Pat Ryan won New Yorks 19th District, an R+4 seat, by 2 points just a 6-point overperformance.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I said early on to be mindful that these polls are probably over-sampling Repubs.
Still, the two things and the ONLY things Repubs have going for them to "win" some Congressional seats this mid-term is the long tradition of the out Party in the White House typically doing so in the first mid-term of a presidency anyway and the built-in election-rigging element of extreme gerrymandering favoring Repubs combined with the Repubs' nation-wide packing of state and local ballot-collecting and vote-counting positions with their looniest American democracy-hating QAnon Repubs.
Both of which are critical to swaying the outcome vs the polling and might indeed allow Repubs to prevail.
Otherwise, Repubs have absolutely nothing on their side to justify earning so much as a single free and fair vote and Dems have everything on their side to justify getting 100% of the free and fair votes.
To recap on the poll issue:
Even as actual election results have strongly suggested most polls are way over-sampling Repubs, as of this writing, the Consensus Poll of Polls on the demonstrably winger-leaning RealClearPolitics site and the more highly regarded FiveThirtyEight site show Biden with a higher Job Approval and Favorability Rating than any other Party leader in Congress.
It is higher than either House of Congress.
It is higher than anyone or any entity that can do anything to continue cleaning up the horrific "mess" Trump and his classic Repub policies and stewardship left behind.
It is higher than the immediate former guy had at this point in his so-called presidency and he beats the former guy and 2024 Repub front-runner nominee soundly in a hypothetical head-to-head poll question.
The Dems are also now leading and on the rise in voter preference to control Congress on both sites, following a dramatic plunge for Repubs on that advantage.
And that is before a couple of recent major polls with decidedly good news for Dems (and therefore for America) have been factored into the consensus, before the reaction to Biden's brilliant Soul of America speech has settled in and before most voters have stopped to take a good hard look at the America-hating loons that Trump endorsed into a nomination in many races.

You must be a genius
[QUOTE=Canada;2738318]Obviously you are not a businessman that did business with China. At least not on the financial side. I did over $200 million dollars with China over 10 years importing into USA, Canada and Kazakhstan. Paid millions on anti dumping tariffs but still charged our customers a lower price because China devalued their currency. The factories and workers get paid in RMB. When we purchased $1,000,000 RMB of product before devalation we paid $158,478 USD. After devaluing their currency we paid $140,845 USD. We paid the 10% so our total cost was $154,930 which allowed us to sell to our customers at the same price we had before the tariffs. But under Trump tarriffs the USA government collected billions, China factories got billions less. With the trade war farmers lost business. Trump just made sure that the farmers were not hurt and gave them a small percentage of what he collected.
You obviously need lessons from somebody because you never learned anything from your supposed business.[/QUOTE]You are the [B]only[/B] business that ever exported product from China and got the Chinese to lower their prices after their currency devaluation. The only one. Every other company, from Whirlpool to Ford to Tyson to 3 M to Harley-Davidson passed at least some of the increased cost onto consumers. But not your supposed company. You were the only company to beat the Chinese while the rest of these billion-dollar companies had import specialists and lawyers that were as stupid as the ones Donnie the Dumbass hires.
Congratulations! You need to sell your expertise to every billion-dollar company in the world who was not able to do that. You would make a fortune.
On the other hand, you could show us the actual contracts that prove your point.

Bill Barr dumps on the Moron Brigade
The Moron Brigade (who at one time idolized Billy Barr) are now crying in their beer that he thinks Donnie the Dumbass is dumber than he even thought. The following is from here. [URL]https://news.yahoo.com/bill-barr-blows-every-trumpy-191001230.html[/URL] Note that it was a FUX Snooze interview.
Bill Barr, the one-time attorney general under former President Donald Trump, told Fox News on Friday that the ex-president had no "legitimate reason" to hoard classified material at his Florida resort. Furthermore, he defended the Justice Department's decision to raid Mar-a-Lago, arguing that the DOJ was "being jerked around" by Team Trump.
As a federal judge decides whether or not to grant Trump's request for a "special master" to review the documents seized from his property last month, the Justice Department revealed on Friday just how careless the former president had been with state secrets at his private club.
In an eight-page inventory list, the department noted that Trump had casually mixed "TOP SECRET" documents with magazines, books, and his wife's clothes. One box allegedly found in the ex-president's office also contained "43 empty folders with 'CLASSIFIED' banners. " Federal prosecutors are mulling whether to charge Trump with criminal offenses under the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice.
Appearing on Fox News' America Reports on Friday afternoon, Barr—who has distanced himself from Trump over the ex-president's election lies—was immediately dismissive of Team Trump's attempts to appoint a special master.
"Well, I think the whole idea of a special master is a bit of a red herring," he flatly stated. He went on to say that Trump's attorneys haven't identified any private lawyer communications that should be insulated from government review, adding that everything else appears to be "seizable" by the feds.
"What people are missing, all the other documents taken, even if they claim to be executive privilege, either belong to the government because they are government records, even if they are classified, even if they are subject to executive privilege, they still belong to the government and go to the {National Archives}," Barr said.
"And any other documents that were seized, like news clippings and other things in the boxes containing the classified information, those were seizable under the warrant because they show the conditions under which the classified information was being held," he added. "So I think it's a red herring. I think it would, you know, at this stage, since they have already gone through the documents, I think it's a waste of time. ".
Co-anchor John Roberts noted that Trump and his allies have claimed the ex-president had a "standing order" to declassify any documents he removed from the White House when he left office.
"Is there any legitimate reason for those materials to be in the former president's possession?" Roberts asked.
"No. I can't think of a legitimate reason why they should have been—could be taken out of the government, away from the government if they are classified," Barr replied. "I frankly am skeptical of the claim that he declassified everything. ".
The former AG continued: "You know, because frankly, I think it's highly improbable, and second, if in fact he sort of stood over scores of boxes, not really knowing what was in them, and said, 'I hereby declassify everything in here,' that would be such an abuse and that shows such recklessness it's almost worse than taking the documents. ".
Co-anchor Sandra Smith then said there "are some questions over the timeline" before stating that some critics wonder if "perhaps there was more room for the authorities to obtain these materials without raiding the president's home. " She asked if the raid "was avoidable" and whether the DOJ could have just issued a second subpoena to obtain the documents, echoing Team Trump's claims they were "cooperating" with the feds.
Barr, once again, didn't mince words.
"I think for them to have taken things to the current point they probably have pretty good evidence. But that's speculation and until we see that it's hard to say," he said.
"Let me just say, I think the driver on this from the beginning was, you know, loads of classified information sitting in Mar-a-Lago. People say this was unprecedented, well it's also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put them in a country club, OK?
Barr added: "And how long is the government going to try to get that back? They jawbone for a year, they were deceived on the voluntary actions taken, they then went and got a subpoena, they were deceived on that, they feel, and the facts are starting to show, that they were being jerked around and so how long, you know, how long do they wait?
In the end, though Barr said he hopes "it doesn't happen," the former top attorney in the nation suggested that the DOJ may well indict the former president for hoarding classified documents.
"If they clearly have the president moving stuff around and hiding stuff in his desk and telling people to—they may be inclined to bring the case," he concluded. "And there are differences of opinion on whether that makes sense. But we really have to know the facts to see, to make a judgment about that. ".

Judge Andrew Napolitano dumps on dump, too
The following is an op-ed piece. [URL]https://news.yahoo.com/donald-trump-soon-indicted-heres-075321268.html[/URL].
It gives me no joy to write this piece.
Even a cursory review of the redacted version of the affidavit submitted in support of the government's application for a search warrant at the home of former President Donald Trump reveals that he will soon be indicted by a federal grand jury for three crimes: Removing and concealing national defense information, giving NDI to those not legally entitled to possess it and obstruction of justice by failing to return NDI to those who are legally entitled to retrieve it.
When he learned from a phone call that 30 FBI agents were at the front door of his Florida residence with a search warrant and he decided to reveal this publicly, Trump assumed that the agents were looking for classified top-secret materials that they'the allege he criminally possessed. His assumptions were apparently based on his gut instinct and not on a sophisticated analysis of the law. Hence, his public boast that he declassified all the formerly classified documents he took with him.
Unbeknownst to him, the feds had anticipated such a defense and are not preparing to indict him for possessing classified materials, even though he did possess hundreds of voluntarily surrendered materials marked "top secret. " It is irrelevant if the documents were declassified, as the feds will charge crimes that do not require proof of classification. They told the federal judge who signed the search warrant that Trump still had NDI in his home. It appears they were correct.
Under the law, it doesn't matter if the documents on which NDI is contained are classified or not, as it is simply and always criminal to have NDI in a non-federal facility, to have those without security clearances move it from one place to another, and to keep it from the feds when they are seeking it. Stated differently, the absence of classification — for whatever reason — is not a defense to the charges that are likely to be filed against Trump.
Yet, misreading and underestimating the feds, Trump actually did them a favor. One of the elements that they must prove for any of the three crimes is that Trump knew that he had the documents. The favor he did was admitting to that when he boasted that they were no longer classified. He committed a mortal sin in the criminal defense world by denying something for which he had not been accused.
The second element that the feds must prove is that the documents actually do contain national defense information. And the third element they must prove is that Trump put these documents into the hands of those not authorized to hold them and stored them in a non-federally secured place. Intelligence community experts have already examined the documents taken from Trump's home and are prepared to tell a jury that they contain the names of foreign agents secretly working for the USA This is the crown jewel of government secrets. Moreover, Trump's Florida home is not a secure federal facility designated for the deposit of NDI.
The newest aspect of the case against Trump that we learned from the redacted affidavit is the obstruction allegation. This is not the obstruction that Robert Mueller claimed he found Trump committed during the Russia investigation. This is a newer obstruction statute, signed by President George W. Bush in 2002, that places far fewer burdens on the feds to prove. The older statute is the one Mueller alleged. It characterizes any material interference with a judicial function as criminal. Thus, one who lies to a grand jury or prevents a witness from testifying commits this variant of obstruction.
But the Bush-era statute, the one the feds contemplate charging Trump with having violated, makes it a crime of obstruction by failing to return government property or by sending the FBI on a wild goose chase looking for something that belongs to the government and that you know that you have. This statute does not require the preexistence of a judicial proceeding. It only requires that the defendant has the government's property, knows that he has it and baselessly resists efforts by the government to get it back.
Where does all this leave Trump? The short answer is: In hot water. The longer answer is: he is confronting yet again the federal law enforcement and intelligence communities for which he has rightly expressed such public disdain. He had valid points of expression during the Russia investigation. He has little ground upon which to stand today.
I have often argued that many of these statutes that the feds have enacted to protect themselves are morally unjust and not grounded in the Constitution. One of my intellectual heroes, the great Murray Rothbard, taught that the government protects itself far more aggressively than it protects our natural rights.
In a monumental irony, both Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks journalist who exposed American war crimes during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency employee who exposed criminal mass government surveillance upon the American public, stand charged with the very same crimes that are likely to be brought against Trump. On both Assange and Snowden, Trump argued that they should be executed. Fortunately for all three, these statutes do not provide for capital punishment.
Rothbard warned that the feds aggressively protect themselves. Yet, both Assange and Snowden are heroic defenders of liberty with valid moral and legal defenses. Assange is protected by the Pentagon Papers case, which insulates the media from criminal or civil liability for revealing stolen matters of interest to the public, so long as the revealer is not the thief. Snowden is protected by the Constitution, which expressly prohibits the warrantless surveillance he revealed, which was the most massive peacetime abuse of government power.
What will Trump say is his defense to taking national defense information? I cannot think of a legally viable one.

Look at the total history of Dr. Fauci
Yeah, The aged director of the infectious diseases institute for 41 years lied about a past statement. Let's look at all the officials involved in the effort to deal with a "novel" virus that evolved in unexpected ways. Sometimes it's instructive to look at the "messenger" who might only focus on something that seems glaring to get ratings on a podcast. Looking at the bigger picture puts things more into perspective. How many died from Covid? How many of the patients vaccinated with Moderna vaccine with heart problems died? Was Covid a crisis. Yes. Were the vaccines put out in a rush? Yes, maybe. Are humans treated as Guinea pigs?

You can not get there by being a Bothsider or Neithersider Repub supporter
[QUOTE=JustTK;2738943]I have no idea what MDS writes. Its like trying to decipher The Riddler. He doesn't seem tloo be able to put a single coherent sentence together.
You have taken that upon urself by supporting the status quo. "I can't support change, bcos it will never happen" BS.
Bothsiderism. No, I am Neithersiderism.[/QUOTE]Well, there is a major detail you seem to be missing about this that I mentioned in my post:
In order for your mythical Third Party or Non Dem / Repub nirvana thingy to ever come to pass there must be more Americans registered to vote, more Americans voting, voting made easier, every ballot collected and every vote counted.
Surely you have not missed the fact that the Repub Party is adamantly against every one of those steps and are actively putting their most devoted and obedient QAnon Repub Loon soldiers in place to thwart or destroy American democracy being practiced that way.
And their orders and mission do not, repeat, do not include "finding" votes for Third Party candidates or Third Party issues. It is all about making sure only likely Repub ballots are gathered and those votes counted so Repubs and only Repubs prevail so they can continue in their decades long Repub mission to Crash the USA economy and wipe out millions upon millions of USA jobs.
Which is the exact opposite of the Dems' constant effort to help more Americans to vote and count every vote. Oh, and NOT to Crash the USA economy and NOT to wipe out millions upon millions of USA jobs.
Therefore, you of all people should be most keen on pro-actively voting for Dems and only Dems straight down every ballot in every election. You know as well as anyone your Third Party nirvana thingy is not going to happen in the next election or the next.
But in order for it to ever ever ever happen, you need tens of millions of legitimately registered voters, new voters, who have widespread and easy access to all vote-casting options and with a certainty that all of their votes will be counted and that the accurate results will matter.
That will only happen when Dems are on guard duty to make sure it happens. Not Repubs. Not ever.
Then and only then will you be able to work your magic convincing all those legitimate American voters to choose no money Third Party candidates who are not beholden to "wealthy only" interests blah blah blah and have a prayer of it actually resulting in an election win for them.
But if you continue to stand by and allow Repubs to do what Repubs have been doing for decades on this very point as though it doesn't matter then you are only choosing to be more of the problem than the solution.

They see where the polls are headed going into the midterm. They are pulling all the stops to dismiss and silence Trump before he manages to flip that ultra traditional advantage for Repubs this time around into another Trump-induced historic win for the Dems.

Well
[QUOTE=JustTK;2739056]Not sure what point your trying to make.[/QUOTE]The point he was trying to make is that SARS-CoV-2 was a novel virus. Nobody had ever seen it before. That's what "novel" means.
So what every healthcare professional, virologist, infectious disease expert, et cetera did was go back to what they thought they knew about other SARS-type viruses. I distinctly remember early on in the pandemic when we were told to leave groceries out in the garage and bring in several items at a time and wipe them down thoroughly because the experts said that the virus was spread by contact [B]like every other SARS virus known to mankind[/B].
When that procedure proved unhelpful and when it was found that SARS-CoV-2 spread via droplets, the procedure to combat COVID changed.
Unfortunately, the morons and the scientifically ignorant said "See, all those people lied". When you are so stupid that you don't understand what science does and how it works, you get that kind of thinking.
Now, we have vaccines. The idiots say "the vaccines don't work". The ones who are complete morons say things like "the vaccines contain microchips" or "the vaccines alter your DNA" or other similar dumber-than-dogshit things. But, and this is instructive, none of the idiots and morons blame the guy who was large-and-in-charge when the vaccines were developed. That, by the way, was Donnie the Dumbass. The guy who said he understood all of this virus stuff bigly.
The virus is mutating so rapidly that the vaccines are becoming less-and-less effective. But most of the idiots and morons don't have a clue as to how viruses mutate in the first place and they have less of a clue as to what vaccines are supposed to do. The current vaccine was very effective against a virus that essentially disappeared 2 years ago. The virus mutates something like once every 11 days. How many 11-day-cycles have we gone through in the last two-and-a-half years? But the idiots and morons still think the vaccine ought to be as effective today as it was two years ago.
Unfortunately, the US is so dumbed-down educationally (especially in red states) that only 30-some-odd percent of the US population is fully boosted.

Kevin McCarthy's Demand for an Apology
Marvelous satire from Dana Millbank:
"I'm so sorry you've convinced millions of people to believe the egregious lie that the 2020 election was stolen. I'm sorry you are making heroes of the criminals who attacked our seat of government. I'm sorry you're currently fomenting violence against the FBI and the IRS. I'm sorry you're passing laws giving yourselves more power to overthrow the 2024 election results if you lose, and I'm sorry you're nominating candidates committed to doing so. I'm sorry you don't like it when the Justice Department enforces the law and protects national security. I'm sorry you've lionized Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban, and I'm sorry you say that the Democratic Party, not Vladimir Putin's Russia, is the real enemy. I regret that you've taken away women's rights. I regret that you're banning books and censoring history lessons. I regret that you are shunning science, expertise and the truth. Above all, I'm truly sorry that, because of such things, Biden called you semi-fascists. There's really nothing 'semi' about it."

[QUOTE=JustTK;2739221]Give me the Dem Party of the 1940's, of the FDR era, then I would agree w you. BUt that is a dream of a bygone time. Now its neolibs vs neocons, as has been for decades.

You are standing for a neo-lib corrupt party bcos you think they make life better for the USA, when it doesn't. Your Biden that kickstarts a huge world recession, that bombs innocent people for oil.
You keep saying that change cannot happen. At least not in your life time. Well, it won't happen if people like you get continue with their obstructionist attitudes.

And in politics. Well, voting is only one way to bring change. I think you only can imagine a 3rd party coming in to the elections and beginning to stand and compete on a slow gradual curve. Whereas there are ways and peeople that could bring about meteoric changes very rapidly. Get behind the movement instead of being scared by it.[/QUOTE]Proving once again that Bothsiders / Neithersiders retreat to a noncommittal Bothsider / Neithersider position because they desperately want to contribute something to the discussion, preferably to come out winning on Both Sides, but don't really know enough about the topic to win anything legitimately.
Uh, big, big changes happen all the time as the result of our votes:
Repub Hoover had a gigantic Depression and lost millions of jobs. Dem FDR had a historic recovery and created millions of jobs.
Repub Eisenhower had 3 Recessions and produced one of the worst jobs creation results of any modern president. Dems JFK / LBJ had no Recession and produced one of the greatest jobs creation results ever.
Dem Jimmy Carter had a tiny pull back, it barely qualified as a Recession and it was purposely induced by the Fed in order to cool down an over-heated economy that was producing way more jobs than there were applicants to take them. That resulted in one of the best average annual jobs creation records of all time. Repub Reagan had one of the worst Recessions on record, the declining unemployment rate he inherited skyrocketed into double digits for almost a solid year and his average annual jobs creation was middling, significantly less than Carter's.
And, unlike Dem Carter, Repub Reagan tripled the national debt in order to under perform Carter's jobs cteation results.
Repub GHW Bush had a long Recession in 4 his years and one of the worst jobs creation records of any president. Dem Clinton had no Recession in his 8 years and produced one of the greatest jobs creation records in history.
Repub GW Bush had two Recessions, the second one so deep and horrible his own Treasury Secretary warned it might "destroy Capitalism as we know it". The unemployment rate skyrocketed and his jobs creation record was one of the worst in history. Dem Obama had no Recession in his 8 years and oversaw one of the longest and steadiest economic recoveries and jobs creation in history.
Repub Trump's "best" years fell below average among the 11 most recent presidents, wasted Trillions in deficit spending to under perform. Then he blathered, bumbled, left the country bare-ass naked against preventing or responding to it and eventually lied the world into a historic Pandemic that mass murdered millions, destroyed worldwide economies and supply-chains, skyrocketed the unemployment rate, plunged us into Recession and produced the worst jobs creation record since Repub Herbert Hoover.
Dem Joe Biden in just 19 months fully recovered all of the millions upon millions of jobs lost under Repub Trump and drove the unemployment rate back down to "Full Employment" level in record time.
Dem Biden has also so far managed to pay down the massive record high debt Repub Trump racked up and has not yet overseen a meaningful or official Recession despite the fact that the Fed is once again trying to induce a controlled one for the same reason they did so under Carter; Biden's strong economy is producing way too many jobs.
So, you see, there has been huge and dramatic change occurring in the country all throughout your lifetime. And, yessiree, it most definitely changed for the worst and for the best based on how the votes went virtually each and every time.
My Dem votes since 1972 resulted in all of those historically positive changes for the country while your Repub / Bothsider / Neithersider votes resulted in all the historically negative changes made to the country since however long you've been voting that way.

And, for the love of god, for him to STFU about endorcing Repub candidates in the primaries only for them to go down in flames in the real election (see my previous post about his sterling election record since Repub Herbert Hoover).

Hey, I think having a Republican party which actually tries to govern is a good thing.
But, the current Republican party of whiny crybabies is ridiculous. They play the victim really well, though. Oooooohhhhh, the FBI raided Donnie the Dumbass' house!

We are full on racists and fascists (but we're too dumb to know what a Fascist really is). Ooooooohhhhhhh, we get upset that people call us RethugliKKKans! We've never worn a KKK hood but we hate (not in order): Mexicans, Muslims, non-white people, non-Christian people, LGBTQ+ people, anybody of color, actually anybody who isn't white and straight. We're "constitutional originalists", except when it comes to stuff we don't agree with. (Like having to own a house to vote).
And the best? Ooooooohhhhh, we'll vote against our best interests because our sole mission in life is to "own the libs". In fact, if "owning the libs" means cutting off our welfare payments and stopping our Social Security payments, we're all for it. We're so dumb, we'll never complain.

Please provide proof
[QUOTE=GDreams;2739483]The price of gas has gone up 500%, how much has the price of sunlight and wind gone up? The reason electricity prices have not gone up nearly as much as fossil fuel prices is that it is not cost any more to generate electricity from renewables which has helped keep prices lower. No wonder Europe is doubling down on building even more renewable power.[/QUOTE]Please provide proof of your statement that renewables help keep prices lower. Every report I see shows renewable energy increasing prices. Estimates show going to 50% renewable energy will increase electricity prices by at least 50% . Europe is increasing coal fired power at this moment. California has decided to not shut down another nuclear power plant along with 2 more natural gas power plants that were slated for closure July 15,2022. Reliable renewable energy is not here yet. It is decades away. Now the environmentalists in California don't like the idea that our beaches are going to have thousands of windmills. Won't those windmills create a great sunset. Only positive outcome of the windmills is that they will kill every seagull in CA.

As usual, you don't (and won't answer) his very simple question
[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2739596]You are correct on one thing. Under Biden energy policy has has gone up 500%. Oil has gone up 100%. Great job Brandon.[/QUOTE]The OP asked if the price if wind and sunlight has gone up. You didn't answer the question but, then again, you never do.
FYI, yesterday, the price of Brent crude was $93.02. When President Biden took office, the price of Brent Crude was $55.66. When I went to school, $55.66 times 2 is far higher than $93.02. But MAGAt math is different, I guess. Gee, you lied again.
Typical.

WTF do we do with people like you PVM?
So I read the stupid article you linked before, and it is written in August 2021.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2739096]The NIH did not fund "gain of function" research. [URL]https://www.bbc.com/news/57932699[/URL].[/QUOTE]And it is classic government bullshit. What does of gain of function mean? And we have this panel of experts who says that the NIH funding does not meet the definition of gain of function. This is what you dumb Dems do all the time. It is the famous Clinton line on what your definition of is is.
You do not listen to Jimmy Dore. In fact, some fool just waved his hand and said, "You know, Jimmy Dore is not that great of a source" as if Jimmy Dore is not quoting other things.
In this case, he was referencing this headline in Vanity Fair. This was written four months after the BBC one you linked. The headline reads, In Major Shift, NIH Admits Funding Risky Virus Research in Wuhan.
[URL]https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/10/nih-admits-funding-risky-virus-research-in-wuhan[/URL]
So you are and were completely wrong and now the question is WTF do we do with you? It would be easy if you just admitted you were wrong, but you never do that. It is "never mind" and off to the next topic. The government releases a narrative and you dumb Dems totally buy in and do so even after the government changes its mind.
You cannot admit Rand Paul was right about this and Fauci was lying. Why? Why do you guys have such a vested interest in going against EVERYTHING Rand Paul says or does? If a Democrat is right or doing something virtuous, I can say it.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2739096]But no matter. Donnie the Dumbass, as has been pointed out multiple times, pulled US medical professionals out of China so that we had no warning.[/QUOTE]So the actual people who created the virus, the supposedly apolitical bureaucrats, who funded them are off the hook. Why? Why are you so angry at Trump and not the assholes who created the fucking virus?
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2739096]TOf course, every RethugliKKKan moron (who has said that the vaccines are useless) won't admit who was in charge when the vaccines were developed. If anybody is to blame, it is that guy. You know, the one who takes all of the credit for the vaccine. Why, RethugliKKKans, do you not blame Donnie the Dumbass for the useless vaccine? Why? Huh?[/QUOTE]Because Trump did not mandate the vaccines. Because Trump did not drape himself up as a "scientist" and proclaim he was all knowing like Fauci. Trump did not say this was a "pandemic of the unvaccinated". I do not know any Republican who was against people electing to get the vaccine. Being forced to do it was something else.
As for real scientists, I will remind you that, The Great Barrington Declaration was authored by Sunetra Gupta of the University of Oxford, Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, and Martin Kulldorff of Harvard University, it was drafted at the American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, signed there on 4 October 2020, and published on 5 October.
The declaration says that lockdowns have adverse effects on physical and mental health, for example, because people postpone preventive healthcare.
The authors say that, instead of protecting everyone, the focus should instead be on "shielding" those most at risk, with few mandatory restrictions placed on the remainder of the population.
Yes, these are scientists concerned with how the government was acting, and the government "scientists", Frances Collins and Fauci, used government emails and told them to take these people down. Hell, the Biden administration asked Twitter to censor a user who named himself Fake Fauci.
Political takedowns are not science. Censorship is not science. And worst of all, Fauci is now lying and saying he was not in favor of lockdowns or shutting down schools.
There should be common ground in saying we do not want our tax dollars to be used to fund the creation of a super virus that killed millions and did trillions of dollars of damage. There should be common ground in saying which scientists were right and which ones were wrong. Why can you not say even that? The only thing I can guess is because it gets in the way of the narrative that the pandemic was all Trump's fault.
Implicit in these discussions just like with Trump and the FBI is that government bureaucrats are on your side. The FBI is great. The NIH is awesome. Isn't the only reason you think that is because you think that they are on your side? And if they are, then we Republicans should not be spending our tax dollars on them.
If you cannot even admit that tax dollars being spent on the creation of a super virus was bad, then we need to split the country in half. WTF else are we supposed to do with you people?

"I like this stuff. I really get it," Trump boasted to reporters during a tour of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, where he met with actual doctors and scientists who are feverishly scrambling to contain and combat the deadly illness. Citing a "great, super-genius uncle" who taught at MIT, Trump professed that it must run in the family genes.
"People are really surprised I understand this stuff," he said. "Every one of these doctors said, 'How do you know so much about this?' Maybe I have a natural ability."
But for members of the general public alarmed by more than 300 diagnosed cases in the United States — including at least 21 that his administration announced Friday were discovered on a cruise ship off the San Francisco coast — Trump's performance during an impromptu 45-minute news conference at CDC was not necessarily reassuring."

2. Border security at worst level ever with millions of illegals just walking across the border.

4. Natural gas prices up 400-500%.
5. Gas prices and oil prices up over 100%.
6. food prices up 26%.[/QUOTE]Correct. These are Biden's accomplishments. And when intelligent people bring these accomplishments to light the dumb people say he is doing a good job. They did a survey recently in New York asking people on the street what they thought of Biden job performance in the first 18 months of his presidency. Over 50% said they thought he was doing OK. They then asked what one thing that he did has made their life better and no one could give a positive answer. Biden policies have damaged 100% of the USA population's lifestyle. Biden is counting on democrats to continue to be dumb and be stupid enough to believe that none of his failures were his fault. He has blamed everyone for his disastrous presidency.

[QUOTE=ErsatzJulian;2739752]The fact that Fauci qualifies his statements with phrases like "to the best our knowledge" and "as we're finding out with study" shows that he understands the scientific method and the limits of our knowledge, and that is why he is respected.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=PVMonger;2739765]I (we all) saw scores of public statements made by the respected Dr, Fauci.
Like many scientists, he was constantly including in his statements weasel clauses like "to the best of our knowledge" or "As we're finding out with study" and always warning that recommendations could change.
This position that professionals getting better & changing best practices is proof that they were professionally deficient earlier is a stupid position. It garners laughs every time you write it.[/QUOTE]I respect Fauci's political acumen but as a scientist and physician, he is beyond awful.
You guys hate Trump so much you are willing to overlook his recommendation for the horrible lockdowns. Studies are showing the horrible effects now they have had on our youth and as one of the videos is showing Fauci is lying his ass off.
Your hatred for Trump is so deep that you do not care that he harmed children, that he funded creation of the virus, or the USA may have had more Covid deaths than anyone. No, all you care about is how someone who is supposed to be apolitical is on your side. If you cannot condemn the lying megalomaniac supposedly apolitical Fauci, and he is truly evil, than we need to split the country in half.

[QUOTE=Beno69;2739799] Is this your last post before Gangster Trump go to jail for 20 years?
But remove them from the White House is not?
- They will present everything to the court before Donald go to jail.[/QUOTE]Did Hiliary Clinton take documents outside of the White House? How about Obama? You may accuse me of whataboutism but your guy Garland swore he was applying the law equally to both parties which we know when it comes to Republicans it is a lie. We already have word that the FBI has and had been slow walking the Hunter Biden case.
And yeah, you are right, the government will present to the court all the evidence it has on Trump. The part you do not get is that Trump will file a motion to toss the evidence, and that motion will be pushed up to SCOTUS, and they can toss all that evidence, and the government will have no choice but to drop the case.

Lolol
[QUOTE=Canada;2739694]Past history is irrelevant. Current times show the dems failing the American people. Look at Biden and the current dems last 18 months. Current history shows dems totally inept compared to all administrations in last 40 years.
1. Crime and murders skyrocketing especially in dem run states.
2. Border security at worst level ever with millions of illegals just walking across the border.
3. Highest inflation in 40 years.
4. Natural gas prices up 400-500%.
5. Gas prices and oil prices up over 100%.
6. food prices up 26%.[/QUOTE]LOL. Yeah, and everything was going perfectly in the 18 months before Biden took over.
Even better than the way things were going in the 6 months before Obama took over.
And the 6 months before Clinton took over.
And the 3 years before Carter took over.
And the 8 years before JFK / LBJ took over.
And the 4 years before FDR took over.
Yep. Dems just don't know how to play the winning hands they are always dealt by the outgoing Repubs. Lololol.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2739806]
Think how much easier it would be for them to argue that nobody knows anything, nothing works any better than anything else, who cares about democracy, it's the same as an authoritarian dictatorship. False equivalency! Bothsiderism! Neithersiderism! Anarchy!
[/QUOTE]Caught in your own gishgallop there - "authoritarian dictatorship", "Anarchy" - how can it be both? Haha. Sounds like "Bothsiderism" to me.

Lololol.[/QUOTE]Yes history shows that things were going perfectly after 2 years of Trump and then the China / Dem virus hit and ground was lost. But at the end of the Trump presidency even with Covid it was still much better than it is today. There was no inflation. Gas was $2. 00 a gallon. But most people don't care what happened 2 years ago. 5 years ago or 10 years ago. The majority of Americans worry about what their life is today. And it is far worst than even last year. 20,000,000 households are delinquent in paying their energy bills. Retired people are seeing their nest egg shrink and are forced to go back to work. Blacks and Hispanics are no better today than they were a year ago. Biden has the country in turmoil. Everyone but the rich are suffering one way or another. But you don't care because you are still collecting your social security check and living in a shithole country.

So you admit it finally

You finally admit that Donnie the Dumbass made you pay for the non-working vaccines.
And here's another teaser for you. Anybody who has ever done construction (commercial or not) understands the concept of a performance bond. Especially somebody like Donnie the Dumbass who told everybody that he was a construction genius. Yet, for some reason, he was too fucking [B]stupid[/B] to put a performance bond on the [B]construction[/B] of the vaccines. What a fucking genius!
And yes, Donnie the Dumbass harmed children and he killed people. Yes, Donnie the Dumbass was a megalomaniac. Actually, Donnie the Dumbass was just a maniac, just like the cultists who support him.

Pro Tip Bro
[QUOTE=Spidy;2739715]Raping women, is where you mind goes w/r to anwsering question between Dems and Repubs? Really?
How does your raping women analogy, get you closer to your,
[i]"Freedom of movement, no borders. Now imagine that you remove the federal government and you decentralise the decision making back to county level, or even lower. That's pretty much what I want for the entire world."[/i]???
Anywho, carry on, with your Bothsiderism.
Hopefully, many of your QAnon/Repubs cohorts, will follow suit and NOT VOTE (or vote independent) and [b]continue to IGNORE[/b] the QAnon/Repub party, that remains the greater evil to a better democracy.[/QUOTE]Voting for the lesser of 2 evils is.
STILL FUCKING EVIL!!

[QUOTE=Canada;2739926]Cali Guy is about 90% correct. OPEC Oil was about $52 when Biden took office and today OPEC oil is $99. So about a 100% increase. Natural gas was about $2.50 per mcf and now it is about $9.00 per mcf. But oil was $120 a barrel. Oil prices have come down with the USA going into recession that Biden has created. Only a fool would think that a president that puts their country into a recession is doing a fantastic job. But prices will start creeping up as OPEC knows that there is a fool in office in USA. They are meeting this week and will raise prices.[/QUOTE]So true, Biden and liberals are destroying America.

"They"
[QUOTE=JustTK;2739970]Caught in your own gishgallop there - "authoritarian dictatorship", "Anarchy" - how can it be both? Haha. Sounds like "Bothsiderism" to me.[/QUOTE]I was merely repeating the various stated goals of the various pro Repub campaigners and voters here, not from any specific one of you.
They each achieve their agenda differently, claim to do what they do for different reasons, but the end result is the same; they help Repubs win elections so they can better destroy the USA economy and wipe out millions of USA jobs.
Bothsiders, Neithersiders, Authoritarian Dictator lovers or Anarchists, it doesn't matter. They all help Repubs win elections.
See, "they" was the tell-tale word there.

Seriously, people. Get a grip. Snap out of it.
A person would have to be one of the dumbest, most cognitively impaired and least perceptive numbskulls on two feet to ever have concluded in the midst of all the coverage and statements abundantly available everywhere in Real News Media that, oh, let's dance through a few of the dumbest conclusions; that wearing a mask was a miraculous 100% certain way to make Trump's Pandemic go away, that all real vaccines work 100% of the time to prevent every vaccinated person from testing positive for Trump's Pandemic virus, that a single shot of the vaccine will "cure" everyone of Trump's Pandemic virus and on and on with whatever other ridiculous assertions some of you wingers claim was a Biden or Fauci "lie".
It isn't like the 40+ times so-called potus Trump tried to convince the seriously cognitively impaired dummies who he knew only listened to and believed him that "It's disappearing. It will go away without a vaccine" and all that anti-science Trump horse crap.
You had a massive amount of context, prefaces, clarifying and follow up statements made by Biden and Fauci throughout the entire Trump's Pandemic ordeal, fully covered and repeatedly reported in Real News Media as well as, presumably, at least a 4th grade level of knowledge, comprehension and critical thinking to prevent you from being so blissfully easily confused and "misled" by any stray unintentional misstatement here and there or even by the truly damaging outright lies Trump told about it over and over again for almost a year.

It just shows that YOU and the millions like you, are just as much a problem in the USA as the QAnon crazies and such like. You, just like them, are unable to stare at reality and face the truth. Unless people can admit to their own errors (or the errors of those that they support), there will never be any progress. Bring oiut the nukes.
