House Repub impeachment clown show...
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2853800]And by lies, you mean what? ...[/QUOTE]Pay attention, Elvis, this is what being lied to, looks like. This is what dishonesty, falsification and deceitfulness, looks like.
In light of the phony and fake evidence the Repubs tried to peddle, in their so called impeachment herring, was just an utter disaster as they trotted out their so called evidence and witnesses, only to go down in flames.
House Repubs, notably Rep.Bryron Donalds (FL), [b]fabricated photoshopped email(s),[/b] ready to pass it off as genuine evidence. Naturally, they were thoroughly rebuked and debunked, by House Dems. And when Repubs, had their own witnesses testify, those witnesses, even had to admit the evidence was weak and wasn't really sufficient enough to form an impeachment.
The clown show that is the House Repubs, was on full display and embarrassed themselves, with their lies, weak witnesses and falsification of evidence.

So there you have it, yet another fine example of the QAnon/MAGA Repub cult lunatic fringe, that is morally and substantively bankrupted and ready to burn everything to the ground if their [i]"Loud and Save-ior(dumb ass)",[/i] isn't reinstated again as the biggest loser.
It's this doc't/study that should be killed...
[QUOTE=Tiny 12;2856582]...you don't have to worry much about getting killed...
In fact, Democrats are a much larger % of felons than Republicans. This study from New York showed that there were about 7 X as many registered Democrats as registered Republicans among ex-felons in the sample. [URL]https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~marcmere/workingpapers/FelonNotification.pdf [/URL] [/QUOTE] Rinse, Recycle and Repeat??? Time to get a new study, brother!
Yeah, you showed this doc't before and I wasn't buying into the correlation with ex-felons (all being associated with gun violence as their crime going into jail) and said affiliated voting parties after being release from jail, that YOU are trying to make then...and [b] I'm still not buying it, now![/b]
So good luck, peddling and convincing someone else with that out of date and highly suspect document!
With guns, yes. But not just with guns. With anything laying around the house.
Eternal vigilance against mentally ill Repubs is advisable. Patriotic Americans need to sleep with one eye open and arrange for their personal safety and security at all times.
Just ask outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley.
[QUOTE=Spidy;2857343](...kkkk!) Doubt that very much!
However, while your concern for me is touching (albeit unwarranted), truth be told, I am just as equally concerned about you getting gun-down and/or AK'd/AR-15'd, from the 7% surge in thuggin' from your fellow QAnon/MAGA Repubs cohoerts. While I'm sure my concern is just as equally unwarranted, the point is...[b]stay safe out there[/b], in MAGA land.
But yes,[b]with the ever increasing violence[/b] from the QAnon/MAGA Repub cult lunatic fringe, surging to a whooping 7%, that's approx. 2.3 million QAnon/MAGA Repubs, looking at thuggin', gunnin', runnin' and causin' mayhem all over the country, while trying to reinstate their [i]"Loud and Save-ior(dumb-ass)",[/i] [b]...indeed it is very much alarming.[/b]

Deadbeat Repub Trump's Fraud
[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2857397]"Haha! COVID killed 1 million Americans, not Trump.
Read the New York judge's partial summary judgement. It's available on MSNBC's web site. The judge went out of his way to try to justify issuing the judgement given the banks made money on the loans.[b] Trump didn't default and paid principal and interest in full. Well, at least since the 1990's.[/b]
And as to "rape", that's a "he said, she said" thing. Given the time that's lapsed and the lack of evidence, a fair judge and jury wouldn't have awarded the plaintiff millions. Any one of us could be set up just like Trump may have been if we had a lot of money or a high political profile. ".
Covid didn't kill 1 million Americans Xi and the CCP did.
[URL]https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2023/10/02/new-york-times-immigration-continues-exploitation-encouraged-by-slavery/[/URL][/QUOTE]The level of Trump's fraud was over-the-top egregious. Some judge would have to be a classic lawless, anti Rule of Law Repub not to have spanked Trump's ass for it in historic fashion.
To have gone classic "soft on crime" Repub with Trump would have been tantamount to ruling that a bank loan application is "just a vague guideline, go ahead and lie your ass off on it to get the best loan rate, as long as you pay us back no biggie, our other borrowers subsidizing YOUR lies are fine with that. ".
[B]New Fux News Spin On Trump Fraud. "victimless crime."
Sure, it's victimless, unless you count every taxpayer in New York City.[/B]
[URL]https://crooksandliars.com/2023/10/new-fox-news-spin-trump-fraud-victimless[/URL]
[QUOTE]Every taxpayer in New York City is screwed by what Trump did. Every resident of New York City is screwed by what Trump did. And every customer of the banks that lent the money and the insurance companies which insured the properties are victims. Every one.
In case it's not self-evident, here's why. By undervaluing the properties for tax purposes, Trump cheated New York out of tax revenue needed to pay police, fire fighters, repair streets and other city expenses, which means the rest of the taxpayers picked up that tab. By overvaluing the properties for loan and insurance purposes, Trump used more of each bank's share of "lendable assets," so that the next person in line for a loan might have been declined, or had their loan shorted because the banks can't have more than a certain percentage of their assets in loans at any one time. By overvaluing the properties for insurance purposes, every other insured would have had to pick up the tab for excessive insurance claims, had any occurred. It doesn't matter if the loans were paid off before he refinanced them, because they put banks and insurers at risk for more than they could have collected if he defaulted.[/QUOTE]Nevermind the "if" he defaulted part. He lied in order to get a lower or more preferential rate on the loans. Guess who paid the difference between what that deadbeat con man liar paid and what he should have paid if he'd gotten the loan at all?
Everybody on the Planet who paid a higher rate!

But you're not even stafe in your own house, these days.

Just ask outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley. ... [/QUOTE]Yep! Or for that matter, Mitt Romney ($5K/day for security), Ray Epps (businesses/life in tatters), Cassidy Hutchinson (exile)...etc.
But I like the grit and moxie, fmr. Chair, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair, General Mark Milley (and Cassidy Hutchinson, as of late), showed at his (2023-Sep-29) retirement ceremony speech, as he addresses the military.
This speech did a number of things, but the main objective IMHO, was to strike down the notion that, [b]the US Army [u]would ever[/u] stand behind or become loyal to a tyrannical figure head.[/b] Especially one that calls for the execution of its generals, like they do in 3rd world dictatorships, despotic and tyrannical regimes.
What he said bears repeating. The Honorable Gen. Mark Milley, profoundly said:
[LIST]"We are unique among the world's military..."
"We don't take an oath to a country,"
"We don't take an oath to a tribe,"
"We don't take an oath to a religion,"
"We don't take an oath to a King...Or queen..."
"Or tyrant...Or Dictator,"
"And we don't take an oath to [b]a Wannabe dictator.[/b]"[/LIST]
It must be nice to be a Deadbeat Do Nothing Know Nothing Pink Tinkle Repub
LOL. Once again, after Joe Biden and the Dems shouldered all the heavy lifting and assumed all the political risk to completely turn around and recover America (and much of the world) from the horrific downturn result of typically disastrous Trump / Repub economic and national security policies and stewardship, in comes the Deadbeat Do Nothing Know Nothing Pink Tinkle Repubs who sat on their butts and did absolutely nothing productive or of value to America for the past 9 months, only to perform one ridiculous Repub Clown Show after another in hopes that their doing so will somehow still achieve the Repub Party dream of destroying the USA economy and weaken our national security and defence.

[QUOTE]I'm with Trump on this. I mean, we're talking about this instead of the border, instead of crime, instead of inflation.[/QUOTE]Maybe it's because if they dare to talk about it someone must unavoidably point out that we need as many immigrants as we can attract by any means necessary in order to help fill the now almost 10 Million more jobs than there are applicants to take them that Bidenomics has created in this historic Dem Recovery from still another Great Repub Crash and Massive Jobs Destruction.
And then someone must unavoidably point out that homicides and violent crime rates, including those in the Red States with the highest homicide and violent crime rates in the country, have been declining since Biden took office after the upward trajectory increase in both on Trump's watch.
And then someone must unavoidably point out that Trump's Pandemic's worldwide economic and supply-chain destruction inevitable recovery inflation has been in sharp and steady decline since Bidenomics was put in place to achieve that goal.
And that, contrary to what classic and iconic Repub Party Leader Trump and his beloved fellow America-haters Putin, Xi and Kim wished and worked for, democracy is far more stable and stronger in America and abroad since Biden defeated Trump.
And that even typically terrified by everything including their own shadow investors in the forward looking stock market can't help but notice Bidenomics bodes very well for America's domestic and Global Economic future.
Among other positives for America that Joe Biden and the Dems had already put into the system long before the Pink Tinkle gerrymandered and creatively redrew itself a handful of Repub districts so they could further impress typically pro Repub Mainstream Media into the astonishingly idiotic election season campaign pitch and assurance that "most people think Republicans are better at handling the economy than Democrats. " Lolololol.
Biden's great US stewardship...despite dysfunctional Repubs
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2857100]Uh, sorry, Spidey, your link to the video of Johnathan Turley was not the slam dunk you claimed it was. Turley said the evidence to impeach Joe Biden [b]is not there yet[/b] but he recommended that an [b]inquiry into getting that evidence[/b] if it exists should be done.[/QUOTE]Sure seemed like a slam dunk to me!
But y'all should hear yourselves, [i]"...evidence is not there yet..."[/i] Duh! [i]"...if it exists, it should be done..."[/i] That's exactly what this inquiry was suppose be, one with actual evidence. Not another waste of time, tax-payer "fishing expedition!"

[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2857100]That is not a Democratic victory.[/QUOTE] Yes, it felt more like a glorious triumph and yet another inept, total disaster and devastating Repub FAILURE.
Hey Elvis, when all else fails, and your fishing expedition comes up empty again, maybe in the meantime, perhaps [b]Rep.Bryon Donalds (FL), can manufacture, fabricate and whip something up for you in Photoshop. [/b] (...kkkk!)
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2857100]For someone like you who points to facts as opinions that you agree with, the latest fact is Hunter Biden is suing for having his abandoned laptop stolen from him.

If you're not [i]"seeing shit"[/i] as you claim, may I suggest quit watching FOXY Muse and the "shit" they broadcast, filling your head with "shit". Believe whatever bullshit you want, it seems you don't get enough of it on FOXY Muse and just love being bullshitted to.

[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2857100]Today is actually the first day people have to pay back on their student loans. Between that and energy prices, I wonder if this will be the fatal blow. To top if off, there is this, https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-f...99-us-counties....[/QUOTE] Is that crocodile tears I see, Elvis? Is this newly found concern of yours, a coming to Jesus, moment?
Could it be, you and your Repubs are genuinely concerned about student debt? Well y'all got a funny way of showing it, when 'twas the Repubs, that introduced legislation to block Biden's student loan repayment program. But words are cheap and Republican words are even cheaper.
And while energy prices are currently manageable for Americans, I don't doubt for a minute, that the authoritarian, fascist dictators and tyrants from oil states like Russia and Saudi Arabia, are
chomping-at-the-bit and most certainly are going to be jacking-up oil and gas prices, in the coming months, to try and tank/panic the economy. Of course with the goal of trying to make Biden look bad and thereby helping Trump, who naturally, they would rather see back in office.
With House Republicans (and Senate to a lesser degree) in disarray and in-fighting, holding the US economy hostage, threats of a imminent government shutdown, bogus impeachment hearings, blocking military appointments (which is harmful to US security and plays into the hands of Russia, China, N.Korea), blocking student repayment loans...etc, it seems to me despite a very dysfunctional GOP, it is Biden and the Dems, that have been holding this country together since he took office.
