From the human side of things, I sincerely do hope he recovers well. He is high risk with his past/ongoing conditions....age, heart disease, stroke, cholesterol, clots, etc.
I truly fear for the survival of my country now.
Yeah.....me too.
His own party is working hard to come up with a solid reason to invoke the 25th amendment and save face… Kamela should be on her toes keeping an eye out for a piano falling out of a window… Old Nasty Polosi will be pulling a Clinton on her right after they give the boot to pedo-Joe!
:-)
Now that's a classic right there. You're serious? It was touted ad nauseum (including by Biden)...until the vaxxed began coming down with it. Then the narrative changed to "but it will keep you from getting hospitalized"...then "but the symptoms will be less". Now it's just "shut up and vax your kids under 5".
If you read it on the internet, it must be true... Don't ever change guys.
I hope he fully recovers and his policies are wildly successful in getting our economy back on track. I'm not an America hater like many of you guys, I want us to be successful as a country regardless of who's running it, even if it is the less preferred party. I say lee preferred because they are BOTH trash. One has just been in the sun a little longer.
He’s the idiot that made the policies that put the economy in the ditch to begin with!! What makes you think he has any intention of fixing it?!
“I'm not an America hater like many of you guys,”
Many of us have too much stake in this country to hate it. We want it to stay the way it was founded. If that’s a problem for you, you might want to move to another country. Most of us will be here to fight for it if we need to. Make sure you choose the correct side.
I wish the President a speedy recovery as well.

Yes indeedy.
Maybe, but I can guarantee you there's a lot more good old fashioned midwestern work ethic, common sense, and intelligence. The kind that says I would rather see our country and her citizens prosper. I don't care which party gets us there, I'm not going to pray for anyone to fail, our country to fail, or any ill will on anyone just because they aren't a republican or democrat. Wishing failure upon one party or the other at the detriment of our citizenry, economy, and safety is the basest definition of ignorance, hate, and fear.
"Many of us have too much stake in this country to hate it. We want it to stay the way it was founded. If that’s a problem for you, you might want to move to another country. Most of us will be here to fight for it if we need to. Make sure you choose the correct side"
Ah yes, we're here to fight. Who are you fighting exactly? Our officials who were elected by the people in accordance with the constitution I swore to defend in our armed forces? Other citizens who disagree with you politically which is their constitutional right? I love this argument. "I'm here to fight" Were you at the capitol on January 6? Those "patriots" could have used your help or are you talking about just keyboard fighting?
It’s not a ‘Republican/Democrat issue. It’s an American issue. The current admin has no interest whatsoever in seeing America prosper. The only thing they care about is their own bank account and power grab.
So, please tell us what is being done to make things better. Unsecured borders, high gas prices, putting other countries before our own, pushing climate change, etc.??? The only reason this is a bipartisan thing is because the Democrats hated Trump because he isn’t part of their cult, and he threatened to break it up. Please, correct me if I’m wrong.
High gas prices? Well when demand goes up, there's a war in Ukraine, and you shut pipelines down, OPEC does their thing, etc of course gas prices are going to go up! They went up and down under other presidents as well. This one certainly hasn't helped matters any!
Putting other countries before our own? Us helping other countries isn't putting them in front of us. We've done that since this nation was founded! We've always had problems, we always will, but we will also always be a bastion of freedom in the world and help les fortunate nations.
Climate change is a real thing. Whether or not people cause it or can do a damn thing about it is another matter entirely and I'm not sure we can. Does it hurt to try a few things? Probably not. Denying the climate is changing is ignorant AF because it clearly is. We probably can't do a damn thing about it but it's definitely changing!
The end of the day neither party is doing anything other than trying to maintain power and fill their pockets. Don't put one on a pedestal over the other because thy both want the same thing, it's just a little different flavor depending on who has the power at the moment. The flavor for the rest of us is shit sandwich. I tend to vote Republican most of the time because their shit sandwich is cheaper! Ha!

A study released Wednesday found that about half of all Americans expect a civil war to occur “in the next few years.” Researchers from the University of California-Davis Violence Prevention Research Program and the California Violence Research Center reported that 50.1 percent of survey respondents said they at least somewhat agree that a civil war will happen soon, while 47.8 percent disagreed.
That is EXACTLY how a great many of us saw (and still see) the Trump presidency.
That’s been going on for a while now…Chicago, L.A., NY, pick a city! Life means very little to some now…
Leftists always take over countries through violence.

You guys should quantify your feelings into facts. It may then become clear who cares about what.

“ Since 2015, right-wing extremists have been involved in 267 plots or attacks and 91 fatalities, the data shows. At the same time, attacks and plots ascribed to far-left views accounted for 66 incidents leading to 19 deaths.”
It’s not all left or right wing extremists but the alt right is more prevalent…unless your gflight in his Bulls#%t bubble.
How about condemning any domestic terrorism and idiots who cry for civil war.
I actually try not to read these threads, kind of like watching the news…Lol!!! This was on RealClear Defense and a Law Enforcement page I follow…The study was done, just down the road, I’m really surprised it wasn't Berkeley that did it…This really isn’t new, News there’s been talk of it for years, doesn’t matter which side you root for…
It's people trying to protect themselves from Democrat policies and the rampant crime they allow to happen.
I proved to Gene jockey many years ago that there was a lot more left-wing terrorism than right.
It had changed since 9/11 with all the right wing muslim fundamentalists.
What's happening to pro life places right now?
Who do you think is burning down food processing plants?
Democrats are all about threats, intimidation, and violence.
Like I mentioned before that's how leftists overthrow governments. They call poor people in despair caused by leftist policies to violence.
You said.....
That is EXACTLY how a great many of us saw (and still see) the Trump presidency.
I pointed out....
You guys should quantify your feelings into facts.
What was it? Bone spurs, underage gun bans, bump stocks, tariffs, liking people who weren't captured, better trained in military school than our Soldiers.
Why is Brandon so much better?
It's called facts not feelings LMAO....
Again, look at the popular vote in 2020. That's all the FACTS you need - millions more people FELT that Trump needed to go. TTFE
.
Perfect example of why we are in this shape.
Emotions had people voting between a reality show narcissistic mean tweeter and a senile plagiarizing pedophile who campaigned from his basement.
That is what America has become with democrats running the media and Republican complicity.
Now we're destined to be stuck with four more years of trump....
I guess if they do that I'm going to have to pick up an M1 Garand since they didn't make the list. 8^)
Democrats are so stupid they cheer their lawmakers for protesting at SCOTUS weeks after a ruling. Rather than to expect them to do their jobs and write law to fix it.
Which is of course their plan, to tie emotions to voter turn out. If they fixed it by law their voter base wouldn't turn out. They would just go back to grooming the kiddies and Republicans would get more seats.
I know....."but look at the popular vote" ROTFLMAO
" Which is of course their plan, to tie emotions to voter turn out."
Well, shoot, it *works*.
Like it or not, the vote is a measure of the public 'sentiment'. How many people vote strictly with their intellect? Damn few! They love this guy, or they hate that guy. Or they say 'meh' and stay home.
Brandon won gflight. He is better because he’s not trying to tear down the country by attacking the foundation of our constitution. He’s better because he doesn’t embolden right wing nuts like you. He doesn’t ask his base to attack others or the capital. He believes in a peaceful transition of power.
He’s not all there but our republic will survive. I’m not sure this country would survive another 4 years of Trump and his “give me civil war” radical rabid followers and the dog whistle to the alt right weak minded idiots like proud boys, oath keepers, 3 percenters, and the white national mf’ers. And apparently you.
"alt right" That tells you something right there. There is no "alt left", ALL of liberalism in this country sanctioned by the Democrat Socialist Party is America hating garbage. They tell us a terrorist group like Antifa and a racist hate group like BLM are great but then take a tiny minority they call the "alt right" and try to make it look like they represent conservatives. This is when you know the indoctrination for these blind sheep is complete. If you want to fight for America, fight for freedom and liberty, then fight liberalism and their sound asleep "woke" agenda at every opportunity.
AMEN! Couldn’t have said it any better..................
Was CHOP in Portland right wing?
Is burning police stations right wing.
You guys are much more extremist than the Republicans.
New York just let the assassination guy go free. Surprisingly they charged him with a felony before release. DOJ supports leftist terrorism and not the rule of law.
You link The Washington Post like it's some kind of credible paper.
Got to be kidding....
Eviction Moratorium was the first attack.
The left loves to have government take control of people and their property. Kind of flies in the face of individual liberty.
Isn't that individual liberty what the Bill of Rights was based on?
Son, the one who lives in the alternate reality is you if you believe any of that fairy tale nonsense that don lemon tells you about...
No straw man arguments. The Washington Post reported crime statistics. I don’t have to believe the Washington Post. The numbers are there. But you won’t because it’s YOU that is the sheep and live in the upside down along with Axel/Trax, spike, and 70.
No matter how many times you say it or how loud…it doesn’t make it true. I see why you are so rabid for one man over the constitution. He likes to repeat BS and yell it loud as if it makes it true. Birth certificates, Muslim, election fraud are a few examples.
Spike- the major difference is the constitutional process and the violence. Congress has the right to impeach by the constitution. They tried to impeach and lost twice. I don’t think an insurrection, sedition, or dereliction of duty as President is a constitutional right or process.
LMAO- if that were true then you wouldn’t see Trump flags waving after what he did. If you notice it’s not me who brings Trump up incessantly. I’m just responding to constant Trumper posts. Go back and look at all the political treads. Who started them, who brought up Trump? I think it was you who brought Trump up first on this one. If that were true then you all wouldn’t be eating your own with elected republicans that voted 95% of the time with Trump.
Keep the bah bah bah up…sheep
That little juxtaposition is way beyond mere irony. >;-)
.
That right there sums up everything wrong with the GOP today - every other potential candidate is afraid of a bullying clown. Because they know his cult of personality has taken over 'their' party.
"If Trump doesn't run the same amount of "flag waiving" will be done for that nominee. " My money will be on the other guy for the win. Trumpers will stay home in droves.
Whether you're Democrat or Republican it should bother people that we are losing our country and it's been going on for 100 yrs. "No..we are not moving to Marxism or Communism "...keep believing that.
I'm done with both parties, especially the Democrat Marxist.
Personally, I’ll wait to decide what to vote for the best candidate based on their track record, the debates, and probably the one that is least likely to be an authoritarian…like last election. I’m open minded. D or R.
Who’s the sheep again LMAO.
There’s just one problem with your philosophy of repeat repeat repeat until people believe it. In the end it’s just BS based on a lie or false information and you will never get around that.
Aaaand THAT right there sums up everything wrong with the DNC today. You label everyone you disagree with as a bully, and cry in fear of them, and attack their character. A strong minded individual wouldn’t cower at a man’s manufactured reputation, but rather step up his game to defeat his opponents ideological aspirations. There’s a big difference!!
You can say the Washington post pulled that hit piece from fairy data.
Doesn't make it true.
What is your fixation with Trump?
You project your false perceptions on everyone you meet?
While politicians are a threat in general to our republic. The Democrat Party that calls for and commits violence weather prosecuted or not a the greatest threat to the Constitution.
Normal people are waking to the truth....
.
They must constantly try to convince people that Republicans are racist, hateful, Hitler like people.
Hate, division, and violence are their watchwords...
The left loves Trump so much because they can compare Republicans to him to push that narrative.
>;-)
70, as usual you completely misrepresented what I said. TRUMP is the bully, and it isn't the DNC who cowers in fear of him. It's (most of) the rest of the GOP. Fortunately there are a few who have had it with his bullshit. Maybe they can lead the party back to sanity. If they don't, we're all screwed.
Wait did the meme grandpa say something?

If you have different data I’d like to see it and the source. Otherwise keep going down you alternate reality rabbit hole. Take the red pill or blue pill. Your choice.
You mean ‘misinterpreted’? No, you just proved my point again!!! You cry bully, and claim the DNC isn’t afraid of him, but you don’t have a comprehensive clue as to defeating him with traditional means. False accusations, lies, dirty tricks, since before he took office…yeah, you’re afraid of him. Otherwise you’d know he wasn’t a threat and he wouldn’t occupy your every thought! I’m still planning on sending you a MAGA hat when he takes office again!
How many people have testified under oath that they were afraid for their safety on Jan 6 2021?
Second, U.S. law enforcement agencies have increasingly become a target of domestic terrorists from all sides of the political spectrum. The government, military, and especially law enforcement were the primary targets of domestic terrorist attacks and plots in 2021, composing 43 percent of all attacks. They were most likely to be targeted regardless of perpetrator ideology: they were selected in 48 percent of violent far-left events, 37 percent of violent far-right events
So...almost half of the "Domestic Terrorist Plots/attacks", were against Police and Military? And...The majority of those, were during "violent far left events" (and, of course, "ANTIFA" never misses a "far Right Event").
Not much room left there, to establish a majority by "Right Wing Extremists". If you add in all the deaths from gang violence in the Major Hubs, who exactly is the real threat in this Country? Asking for a friend...
I believe they intentionally use a narrow definition of domestic terrorism to selectively exclude certain events and rename them as "civil disturbances" instead of "riots" to water down the verbiage and image portrayed. Renaming and "re-imaging" acts and behaviors allows them to confer those events and behaviors are not violent or used to influence or coerce others or policy. In deckplate terms....is rioting, looting and trespassing violent and coercive? That is an element in the definition of terrorism CSIS purports to use as the basis for the data.
IAW with this CSIS report.......
""""The brief does not analyze the broad topic of hate speech or hate crimes, though hate speech and hate crimes are clearly concerning. There is some overlap between hate crimes and terrorism since some hate crimes include the use or threat of violence. However, some hate incidents, such as graffiti, do not involve the use or threat of violence.9
The brief also does not include other forms of civil disturbance or criminal activity outside of the definition of terrorism, such as looting or trespassing. Some of these disturbances do not involve violence, and many individuals that participate in these activities lack political goals or an intention to cause broad psychological impact.
However, the data set does include terrorist attacks committed by demonstrators, attacks targeting demonstrators, and attacks intentionally timed to occur alongside demonstrations, often to obscure the identity or the intent of the perpetrators. """"
The point being....if this CSIS report were to follow the domestic terrorism definition of 18 U.S. Code §?2331 that claim they do, I suspect we would see more inclusion of certain "disturbances" in their data. That would then change their data...ie....the number of domestic terrorist events and who committed them.
The report could have exhibited some positive credibility if it identified national promoters and facilitators of violence preceding and within domestic terrorist events.
My post was a response to gflights comments about democrats and civil war/violence. This data shows the right wing extremists (not to be confused with republicans) take the lead in domestic terrorism. It proves he live in a bubble on bulls#%t mountain. Me might even be the mayor (credit to Jon Stewart).
.
Mr. Rittenhouse the right wing terrorist?
Guess not since he wasn't in the militia. ;^)
The massage parlor shooter right winger?
Very underreported as to jihadis. Wonder why?
It is concerning to me the report talked about primarily right wing examples rather than left on domestic terrorist attacks and plots.
2021 should have described comparable number of examples since the claim was 38 to 31 events right to left according to the data analysis we cant see the examples of.
Take their word. Also didn't catch the rationale for the date range. Maybe to include Oklahoma City?
A lot of Portland mentioned was good just not much details.
Their opinion was added in this ""objective"" report that legislation banning or restricting the presence of firearms should be introduced.
Framing of the statistics and items mentioned in article are skewed to favor the far right narrative.
Without any more details I have no different opinion than what I had before.
My Fact check: lack of context, deliberately misleading or biased information; manipulated narrative or facts; propaganda.
Even though less than 2% of minorities are killed by white police officers...which the media never reports on, they were justified in the burning and looting. Also, BLM is not really a Marxist organization, nor is ANTIFA...we know that's true because the main stream media told us so.
.
Not me. I believe all on both sides should be charged pertaining to the crime they committed.
I am a Justice kind of guy and believe the punishment should fit the crime not everybody go to prison.
That sounds kind of leftist in my judgment.....
.
"Whatever you think of Bannon, the fact he was charged with contempt of Congress, but Clapper, Brennan & others who lied to Congress have never been charged, shows how the Biden admin have shamelessly weaponized law enforcement into a political hit squad."
I think they'll say Biden has lost physical/cognitive ability because of covid and he'll stop down in 2-3 months
kinda been the plan - remember when he said he'd just get a disease and step aside? cancer/covid both in the same week ....
BDS is not pretty >;-)
.
You would have to ask the democrat I quoted ;^)
I am a Justice kind of guy and believe the punishment should fit the crime not everybody go to prison.”
That’s also the answer I expected. You are inferring that the Portland extremists riots were worse than the capital riot extremists. That’s some deep rabbit hole Alice.
Biden doctor provides update on president's COVID-19 condition by Ryan King, Breaking News Reporter | July 23, 2022 04:10 PM
President Joe Biden's COVID-19 symptoms are continuing to improve, according to his physician.
Medical personnel believe that he was most likely infected by the BA.5 variant that has been sweeping the nation over recent weeks. Biden's vital signs are normal, and his symptoms include a sore throat, rhinorrhea, a loose cough, and body aches, Biden’s physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor said.
"The President is responding to therapy as expected. The BA5 variant is particularly transmissible, and he will continue to isolate in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations," O'Connor said in an update released Saturday. "We will continue to monitor him closely during this very common outpatient treatment regimen."
Biden received his second full day of Paxlovid treatment Friday. Doctors have given him Tylenol, low doses of aspirin as an alternative to blood thinners, and an albuterol inhaler to treat his cough. The fact that he may have contracted the BA.5 variant has not affected the treatment plan for him, O'Connor said.
The president is not experiencing shortness of breath, and his vital signs appear normal.
"His voice remains deep. His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature remain entirely normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear," the doctor said.
Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday after having traveled to Massachusetts the previous day to deliver a speech on climate change. The White House quickly released a photo showing Biden working and claiming to be busy in an apparent bid to assuage concerns about the health of the 79-year-old president. Biden is believed to have avoided the virus for the duration of the pandemic until his positive diagnosis Thursday.
An update from me: pic.twitter.com/L2oCR0uUTu — President Biden (@POTUS) July 21, 2022
Officials remain unsure where he contracted the virus from and have been working to conduct contact tracing with anyone who might have been near him while he was infected. First lady Jill Biden is believed to be in Delaware while her husband receives treatment for the virus.
Vice President Kamala Harris was considered a close contact, but she has not tested positive recently. She had contracted the virus in April.
.
Drop mike.....
You’re not in your campfire eco chamber.
It is a HEARING, those are parts of a TRIAL. When Trump and his minions are tried for sedition etc. THEN they will be entitled to full 'due process'. Not before.
Learn the rules, son.
Buy the way, you right wing nuts keep hammering and chipping away at social freedoms and it’s going to be a long time before the R’s win a national election. So much for less government interference in our lives. Soon the R’s will be in your bedroom.
from what ive seen hes pretty much an outcast there too...
The infantile strawman tactics of extremists. Find an outlier and try to paint others with the same brush. C’mon Trax and gflight…grow up.reminds me of Hillary and the deplorables comment.
Right to peaceful assembly with govt funded Molotov cocktails….
Right to employment based on race and gender….
Right to govt funded murder…
Right to govt funded indoctrination of our youth…
.
"from what ive seen hes pretty much an outcast there too..."
People who challenge narratives on both sides of political hacks are often considered outcasts.
I own it.
Why do I care what you want to be called. I refer to you in whatever pronoun you want. I don’t understand it but I don’t have to to be respectful. Or I can be a snowflake and whine that someone wants to be called “they.”
“Right to peaceful assembly with govt funded Molotov cocktails….”
If there are is violence then it’s not peaceful by definition. That also doesn’t mean everyone assembled was violent or broke the law.
“Right to employment based on race and gender….”
We wouldn’t need equal opportunity laws if people would follow the golden rule. Oh yeah, you forgot about those God given rights to every human being. Even minorities and women.
“Right to govt funded murder…”
No comment. I’m not arguing either way. This is for us to determine as a society and that process is happening now.
“Right to govt funded indoctrination of our youth…”
I hear this all the time. Mostly from uneducated folks. You have a choice. Home school, private school. You think educated people tend to be liberal because of some hidden indoctrination. Actually, the more educated you get and better understanding of science and the arts the more empathetic you become and the more liberal. A better understanding you have of the human struggle. You are more open to different people, ideas, cultures, ect.
We have a lot of Harvard grads in DC that don't know their azz from a hole in the ground. It doesn't take education to be wise..not that education is a bad thing.
Affirmative rights is forcing a company to hire certain individuals... that is not freedom! It's one thing when a state or any form of government sanctions racist laws such as Jim Crowe laws..but it's another thing when the gov tells the private sector who they can and cannot hire. The left always commits the very act they claim to be fighting against.
Leftist are tolerant as long as you agree with them. Then we have the so called "conservatives" that don't even know what being conservative is.
Higher education can be a good thing but without wisdom you are just an educated fool.
Of course We all know some highly educated people with no real world experience. Same goes for experienced people with no higher education. My statement was a generalization so naturally there are many examples that don’t fit as generalizations don’t hold water. Absolutely. I know hunters that “know” the woods better than a biologist. They can tell you names of the flora and fauna and maybe some of the habits, habitats, and behavior. They “know” the woods but they don’t understand the ecosystem or the micro biome…essentially the why. Some may know how an engine works but they don’t understand oxidation/combustion.
Lastly, an indoctrination comment coming for any current Trump supporters is ironical and hysterical.
Example: A man and a woman...they go together..natural law.
Some of our higher educators are seeking to make it illegal if parents tell their child it's wrong to be homosexual or transgender..that's coming from highly educated idiots. On the other hand, what parents choose to teach their children regarding the issue should be their choice..whether anyone agrees with them or not. No, I may not be highly educated but I know there are those on the left and right that seek to control us and I don't agree with that whatsoever.
I guess you better tell dolphins, monkeys, some insects, and bat species about that natural law thing. What if your born with both sexes? God created them that way right?
“Some of our higher educators are seeking to make it illegal if parents tell their child it's wrong to be homosexual or transgender.”
So what. There are a lot of people that want to make stupid laws. Why would you waste energy on something that is obviously unconstitutional. Good grief. Parents can tell their kids whatever they want. This is completely a BS argument. White nationalists want to discriminate against minorities too and make interracial marriage illegal. Who cares. The constitution is there to protect us from the fringe idiots.
And even from the majority, when they're being idiots.
I can get on I-10 west bound out of Alabama and believe with all my heart I'm headed to Florida but no matter how I feel about it I'm headed in the wrong direction. There are absolute truths..we are free to ignore or not believe it but our choices don't change the truth.
You mean “accept” by letting them live their lives as you get to. Freedom of expression.
“Your argument for monkeys, ect is not a valid argument. God created us for a certain purpose..we fall short because of our sin nature.”
Didn’t God create monkeys too? Are they sining? Maybe you should take them a Bible.
“There are absolute truths..we are free to ignore or not believe it but our choices don't change the truth.“
This is true and found in science…as far as we understand the universe. In regards of human behavior and society there are few if any absolute truths. Remember, the Bible says the earth is the center of the universe and everything revolves around it. We know absolutely it’s not even the center of our galaxy. Why did that once absolute truth change? Because our perspective (again there is that word) changed and our education and “wisdom” increased through science. You call them absolute truths and they are from your perspective. But not everyone shares your perspective.
I noticed you didn’t answer my previous questions. Likely because your absolute truths conflict with the answers.
What is a human with XXY or XYY chromosome? Is someone born with both sexual organs man or woman? Biology/science is more complicated than man or woman. You can’t use science as a defense then contradict science.
I wish the president a speedy recovery and I only ask in return that he not run for president again.
I’ll tell you right now I’d vote for Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger strait away for president. I don’t agree with many of their politics but they chose the constitution over party. We badly need that now more than ever.
I vote for the constitution.
I think like most new things and cultural changes the pendulum swings too far sometimes and it will settle back.
The only thing you got right was that I voted for Biden and given the circumstances of 2020 (Trump vs whom ever) I’d do it again. Feel free to spin that I indirectly voted for the others. No matter what that factual incorrect as I reside in KS. None of those others are from KS. You need some new tactics that work on people older than 12. False equivalence…really Trax.
You fully understand that is intellectually dishonest but you obviously don’t care.
LMAO. Ron White was so right.
(And please don't re-re-repeat that tired bullshite about 'due process' and 'cross-examination', yadda yadda yadda. It is NOT a *trial*. )
If only the Republicans would smarten up and realize that the Democrats - and Liz Cheney - are building them a bridge to retreat from Trumpism.
Cheney in 2024.
Looking for the definiton of a woman.
this is amazing to me, it truly is
'
When it comes to Trump, yes I am emotional. His reliance on rioters and illegal tossing of votes and a ridiculous plan to substitute false electors to hold on to the presidency was pure egotistical madness. I hate him openly and honestly and I don't hide it behind childish chants of 'Let's go Brandon.'
. FUCK Donald Trump.
Really?…Prove it!
“PS ***FUCK*** your BIG LIE that the election was stolen.”
If it’s such a “BIG LIE”, why does it bother you so much? Can you prove the lie as well?
Only the truth is provable. That's why lies - Trump's specialty - are so dam' pernicious. But here's a hint - Trump's own Attorney General called bullshit.
Say it again for the folks in the back...
From: DanaC26-Jul-22
"It doesn’t matter who takes over for creepy Joe if he is forced out." Now you know exactly how us Trump - despisers felt for 4 long years.
THe difference is that Trumps policies were actually WORKING FOR America! Biden's policies are completely OPPOSITE of what this country needs.....................................if you could just forget about the Orange Man (BAD) for just a minute, you might be able to see that!
But actually BOTH parties better open their eyes and fast............................................we are TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS of dollars in debt to China and with the way interest rates are going thru the roof, it won;t be long before we won;t even be able to pay the INTEREST on those debts..........................................if BOTH parties don;t do something to fix the problem, the GREAT US of A will become just another 3rd world country! : (
.
But if Dems can only win by mailing in truck loads of ballots and dropping them in boxes at night... then Trump is likely right.
.
When in doubt, blame those spooks in the shadows. LMAO!!!
It’s like they can’t make up their mind…either the country is run by incompetent idiots or it’s run by people capable of pulling off the most intricate, elaborate, and complex schemes. You can’t have it both ways. (For the record, you can put me in the “incompetent idiots” camp).
.
All of which begs the question - why don't the super rich simply manipulate the tax code so they can keep all the money? Oh, wait...
Tax the uber rich at 100%. When the funds dry up in 3 months or so, who ya gonna go after. Always a revenue problem, never a spending problem. As far as the overlords....I'm going with the Ilumination guys...never like 'em.
Just like Biden and his defenders .... they voted Biden because Trump would have been bad, right ?
But nobody predicted THIS bad would happen - and their candidate has led us here. That's scary to me, the inability to admit voting in a fantastically horrible President who has led us to record inflation, record covid deaths, record spending, record gas prices etc .....
And what exactly is "THIS"?
I saw tinfoil was on sale on Amazon...might want to stock up, Axel.

As I will every time people start to talk about the super-secret global cabal/QAnon/Conspiracy theory BS that some people think decide what happens in this country.
Couldn't agree more. I remember when the Republican Party used to be the party of personal autonomy and free markets. But it's been taken over by the likes of you, Axel, spewing your populist garbage and your grievance politics. This notion of a global cabal is an intentional fear tactic - a political bogeyman - that you've flocked to along with far too many of the MAGA sheep. And for the record, I've never voted for a Democrat for President - I'm just a frustrated former-Republican that has seen what was once my party infiltrated by dolts like you.
It's also no mystery why Trump lost. He was that despised and disliked by that many people. He was truly that bad. Trump lost far more than Biden - who is awful - won. I'd love it if the Republicans ditch Trump and his populist, nationalist approach and get back to what made them the clear choice amongst the two major parties, but I'm not holding my breath.
Nope. Just the populists like Axel.
What have you boys been doing? Oh…never mind.

I never said that. I said the Republicans have thrown that out in favor of populism. And it's Peter Zeihan who characterizes the shift in the Republican party best. Out with the Maps and Maths crowd, in with the Populists. To hell with free trade, free labor markets, and libertarian social ideals. Hello nationalism, populism, and protectionism.
"But it all comes down to the role of the populists. Populists on the right are a mixed bag of folks that in general are very unhappy with some state of affairs. Their issues shift and manifest differently, but ultimately it can be summed up that they believe someone is screwing them and/or the country and they want it to stop. NOW! That typically makes them prickly on issues cherished on the Left – race, changing cultural norms, immigration, government intervention in their economic lives. But it also makes them prickly on issues traditionally owned by the Right – big business, banking, a government that does too little. The rise of social media didn’t simply allow the Bernie Sanders crowd to make an over-sized splash in the political pool, it also enabled the populists of the right to seize control of the Republican primary system and put their man on the ticket.
Trump’s rise to prominence was only possible because of the populist rise, and the populists broadly distrust not just the Left, but other portions of the Republican alliance. The populists’ reliable outrage combined with Trump’s trademark political-wind-detection and volatile personality has largely ejected the fiscal, national security and business factions from the Republican coalition – not to mention the Trump White House. All that is left are the populists and the narrow-issue categories of pro-lifers and Evangelicals.
Trump has figured out that the American political landscape is now so fractured – Democrats, Republicans and centrists all – that this narrow base is sufficient to sustain him in a first-past-the-post system in the short term. While many find Trump’s tweeting and shouting and rambling press conferences shocking and offensive and bewildering, he is not speaking to the “many.” He is speaking to this base, and so long as he keeps speaking to them they will stick with him to Armageddon.
This is obviously not sustainable in the long run, but that doesn’t mean it is not normal. The coalitions that make up the two American parties are not carved in stone. A quick read of American political history indicates this is the fifth time the two parties have broken down. Each time they reform with a different mix of factions. Keep in mind that before these seismic, party-smashing upheavals went down last time in the 1930s and 1940s, the African-Americans were Republicans while business leaders were Democrats. Times change. The parties change with them. But such change hardly happens overnight. Historically speaking, these political interregnums last about a decade. We are barely in year three."

Funny? It's in their charter. Identify mutual goals and implement same. You know, stuff like 'peace' and 'prosperity'. And why should the US *not* choose to work alongside others for those?
.
Yes, I get that we have our own Constitution and 'system'. Doesn't mean we can not identify areas of cooperation with others. Isolationism is not an ideal, nor is it practical. Hasn't been for 100 years.

"Despite the accusations from Trump’s critics, Washington remains as hawkish and interventionist as ever."
The Paris Accords is a perfect example, and only Trump had the foresight and balls to rightfully shun it.
where did all these Biden voters go? its only been 18 months since the election ....
another factoid - Trump won on election day, bigly. Trump even beat Biden in Biden's home state. Only mail in votes got Biden the election. True story.
I enjoy discussing things with liberals and Democrats etc, it allows everyone to understand each other a bit better.
...or Trump was viewed as that bad by that many people that it prompted them to get out and vote for change.
They are cooperating with everyone but the PEOPLE
Then the people can vote them out. That's how it works. I know in many ways that's a simplification - political parties aren't single issue and thereby our chosen representatives may not always align with us (even when we vote for them). This is also compounded by the fact that our political systems are generally built on a first-past-the-post structure (you don't need a majority of votes to win...just one more than the second place finisher). With that said, we do have representative democracies and if the "PEOPLE" truly aren't being heard, then we have the opportunity to choose someone that we think will. Remember the "PEOPLE" isn't just farmers worried about their livelihoods - it is the entire voting base.
America first is just what it says. It doesn't mean America only.
There are good and bad ways to live together as a society.
If the people who want the better way are a minority, they are still in the right.
The Dems didn't believe it when Gore lost (hanging chad's and a SCOTUS decison) and they didn't believe it when Hillary lost to an falsified Russia collusion hoax.
And now some 50 million Trump supporters (figuring roughly 2/3 of them) don't believe the last election was fair either (ballot harvesting, double voting, non-citizens voting, etc.)
So what now???? Hardly anyone will believe the results in 2024 and chaos will reign. Deliberately or otherwise....
For those that support leftist ideals( not Liberal, in the true sense of the word), look at California! The Leftist have destroyed the state of California. It should be very obvious what the results are when leftist policies are created and enforced. Common sense is a reliable compass
The newest New Hampshire (1st primary state) polling shows Pete Booty at the top....Biden 2nd. Kammie is #6. You're looking at the Dem/Socialist bench and it's not very deep.

Whistleblowers reveal the FBI "Pressured and Incentivized" agents to classify cases as domestic terrorism.
Surely this brings every case up to the current date into question.
Which team do you feel they favored?

You can say you saw it here first.
Was shrillery in DC this past week??
Safe… Not likely either…
The more that comes out about these shots, the more I’m convinced I made the right decision to not take it!
"trust the science" ..... right ?
That little inner voice screaming to them that no group of even average intelligence people could be so wrong on so many issues by accident is getting louder. Just hard to swallow being that wrong and accepting what that means about the real agenda being pursued.
