  81.  @jdfraed123  Thank you for asking. I was a huge Tulsi fan, because she was so inspirational, forthright, and patriotic with her anti-war stance. IMO, the DNC gave her a raw deal, under Clinton's leadership, to the point of disassociating myself with the Dem party, entirely. Then, I noticed how naïve Tulsi is to believe that she could win a presidential race, one house party at a time, from the back of a borrowed cargo van. Then, she seemed to fade from view, my personal view, because I NEVER view Fox. 2 days ago, I saw her and her husband's constant video loops of anti-Biden, anti-Dem, anti-American, right wing extremist YT stream and was so appaled that I stayed up for over 24 hours, just to counter the comments in the chat section, before crashing. Next morning, the stream was still running and my comments were gone. TBH, I believe that Tulsi has sold out her morals and our nation to tRumpism which I would hhave never believed from Tulsi, unless I had seen and heard it for myself. Fox has embraced her for ratings, brainwashed her with right-wing rhetoric, and she has obviously given the narcissistic godfather her embrace of personal loyalty over our nation, just like the Congressional Republicans and 'loyalist' candidates before her. Give the lonely self-serving monster a hug and he will fund anyone's campaign, as long as they toe the line on his Big Lie of a stolen 2020 election. Now, I would NEVER vote for ANY Republican, who is an election denier, insurrectionist down player, nor Q-Q-nut conspirator. tRumpism is the Bain of our nation and will be our downfall if Dems lose control of Congress. It is based upon malcontent, hatred, racism, authoritarianism, misinformation, and corruption... everything that our Founding Fathers opposed. MAGA is nothing more than lipstick on a pig, a slogan for the gullible, ignorant masses of losers, who blame our government for their every self-inflicted woe. Their only proposal is to blow it all up, without any thought of the chaos they would inevitably cause. Radical ideologies is the LAST thing our nation needs. We have a great leader in Biden, who has already guided US through perilous times. Inflation! Everyone cries, without recognizing that WE are better off than the rest of the world, thanks to Biden's efforts with one hand tied behind his back, given a divided Congress with 100% opposition from across the aisle. No, our lives aren't perfect. When have they ever been? But that's no reason to throw away the fundamentals of democracy while 'flushing the swamp', code words meaning, "Storm the Capitol to overthrow the will of We The People in exchange for a dictatorship under a mafioso don's family."

  94. Thank you, PG, for such a powerful and inspirational message for this holiday season. Every day of life is a precious gift that shouldn't be taken for granted and lived with mindful purpose and forethought regarding each step forward. I would only add that one's life is only as valuable as one's contributions to the world, just as you're demonstrating by dedicating yourself 100% to our nation. Thank you for your service as a role model for US all. It's not enough to simply consume the Earth's resources solely for one's own life, then die. But, I'm trying my best to do more for the world. During this season, let's not forget all of the hungry children around the world, the importance of their lives, and the fragility of their potential contributions towards mankind. The Turning Away lyrics by Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse of Reason album "On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand "Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away" It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting it's shroud Over all we have known Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone We could find that we're all alone In the dream of the proud On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite In a silent accord Using words you will find are strange And mesmerized as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away?" Pink Floyd Merry Christmas, everyone. ❤✌😎

  161.  @chrispascarella7622  No. BBB is exactly what this administration says it is. With ~60% public approval, it is the opposite of authoritarianism, so stop spewing words you don't understand the meanings of. Yes, gas prices are high throughout the world, including natural gas. But, what has this administration done to adversely affect them? Biden has already requested that OPEC release more onto the International market, plus he just released ~100 million barrels from our national reserves to reduce prices. On the other hand, Jen reported that there is an imbalance between global oil prices vs prices at the gas pumps, IOW price gouging by oil corporations. IMO, this is their way of undermining the BBB sustainable energy initiative, in order to profiteer as much as possible. "...save the Democrats ass on the billions wasted by them under the Trump administration..." WTF are you talking about? If a few Congressional Dems compromise by voting for a Republican bill, then it's all their fault? If 100% of them don't agree to pass their agenda, then their failures have nothing to do with the 100% Republicants' filibusters and obstructionism? Why are 100% of Repubicants refusing to fund their own bills that they chalked up during tRump's term? $7 Trillion added to our national debt, $2 Trillion worth of unfunded tax breaks to the top 1%? Useless testimonies = defending our nation against a corrupt mob hijacking our government, by holding them accountable for cheating with Russian troll bank collusion. 2 Impeachments ain't nothing. Have you no sense of decency nor responsibility? Do you deliberately ignore blatant corruption or simply don't care?

  177. Mafioso mob boss 101: * Surround yourself with a legal team to bully and threaten people with vindictive lawsuits. * Surround yourself with big henchmen to do your 'dirty work' to avoid criminal charges. * Run 2 sets of books for either taxes or loans * Talk tough, but never threaten people directly. Use demeaning gangsta nicknames, like Crooked Hillary, Crazy Bernie, Lyin' Ted, Li'l Marco, Pocahontas, Sleepy Joe, ... * Only trust your own immediate 'family' of blood relatives. everyone else is dispensable. involve them in everything, so that they can inherit the 'family business' * After conquering another mob's 'turf', recruit the opposition after they promise their undying loyalty, sealed with 'the godfather's embrace'. (ref: week 1 of tRump's term) If they refuse the 'embrace', destroy them. Dictatorship 101: * Polish your delivery of propaganda, one liners, and anti government rhetoric. (super spreader rallies) Learn how to work your audience up into a frenzy. (You knew darn well I was a snake, before you brought me in.) * Have your campaign manager share classified RNC polling date with Russian troll banks to allow them to target voters with outrageous anti-Hillary propaganda * Discredit the MSM so that your supporters only believe in whatever you say. * Divide the nation by demonizing the opposition party with outrageous lies, claiming that they only want to destroy the nation, but only you can save it. * Keep drumming the previous 3 steps into a weak minded, god fearing cult for 5 years, until they are so deeply brainwashed that they parrot everything you spew.. * Blatantly thumb your nose at the DoJ, by recruiting the Attorney General to provide 'executive immunity'. * Pack the Supreme Courts with loyalist justices, just in case. * Rig the election system by claiming that everything needs to be 'upgraded', including the implementation of suppressive state election laws and the ability to over rule the majority of voters. * Eliminate term limits (tRump floated the idea many times, as he always does, before making his moves) * Predict that you will only lose an election, because of cheating to provide cover for your own cheating. * Create a Big Lie that the election was stolen from you. * Intimidate state election officials to 'find 11,780 more votes' which don't exist. * Conspire with the DoJ to, "Just say that the election was rigged, then leave the rest to me and the 'R' Congressmen." * When all else fails, organize a rally full of rag-tag right wing domestic terrorists, armed militias, and white nationalists to 'rouse your rebels' into a lynch mob and send them to storm the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power. Monarchy 101: * After achieving membership into the World's Dictator Club, one must be ruthless in order to become their leader and extort them for a piece of their action, just like their king of of all dictators. * Make sure that your spawn are prepositioned to inherit your throne after your demise, regardless of how that happens. Oligarchy Alternatives 101: * Never give up, even after losing the election. * Keep a stranglehold on your hijacked GQP Congressmen by threatening to replace the with hand picked 'loyalists'. Destroy the careers of anyone who doesn't kowtow to your every whim, especially regarding the Big Lie. * As long as your control Congress, SCOTUS, and state elections, being POTUS is irrelevant and more trouble than profits. * Keep the rallies going to fleece your sheeple of donations. Their money is your power

  226. Bull! Blunt says, "The Constitution says 'trial', but it doesn't really mean 'trial'."🙄 The 'godfather' summoned all of the Congressional Republicans into the Oval Office as soon as he arrived. Trump understands that 'every man has his price' and has the resources to pay it. Obviously, he gave them 'an offer they couldn't refuse'. His 'embrace' sealed their oath of allegiance to him, above party and nation. That's why he has absolute control over the Senate and House Republicans. Woe to anyone who breaks their vow by not holding the Trump Party line. Yes, I said Trump Party because now he owns the Republicans. This is the only possible explanation for their shameless behavior throughout the impeachment proceedings. One by one, Collins and others went to ridiculous lengths to deny indisputable testimonies from multiple reputable witnesses, blow distracting smoke screens, and spew outrageous lies in defense of Trump. No respectable person would stoop that low, without coercion. How is it possible that not one Republiturd could muster the moral backbone to vote 'yes', while being aware of this administration's corruption? Furthermore, McConnell's public statement that he would follow the White House counsel's guidance and that there is 0 chance of impeachment passing the Senate is complicate, illegal, and unconstitutional, because it violates the separation of powers and oversight over the Executive branch. Under the circumstances, Pelosi has no choice but to withdraw the articles. She has exposed Republican and Trump's corruption, which is the best she could hope for, under the circumstances. So, the impeachment is dead. But, instead of nebulous charges of 'high crimes and misdemeanors', she should have gone full bore with all guns blazing, including blatant violations of the emollients clause, deploying troops into Saudi Arabia w/o congressional approval along with many others. Republican states have already cancelled their primaries, so Trump won't be challenged from within 'his' own party. After the backlash of a failed impeachment, Trump will undoubtedly win the election against the DNC's weak field of candidates, Dems will obviously lose the House and a vindicated Trump will be unstoppable. Within only 4 years, Trump and his motley mob of Cabinet henchmen will have successfully conducted a coup (which he deliberately projects onto Dems) against our nation, without firing a shot. He has already discredited the MSM (as all dictators do), floated ending term limits (testing his opposition, as he often does prior to commitment) and is poised to become America's first dictator. Of course, his ego would prefer the title of 'King of the World.' Then, his heirs in waiting could inherit his 'kingdom'. Meanwhile he can join his coveted club of world dictators, such as Putin, Kim, King Salman, and others. All of this fits Trump's MO and explains his behavior on the international stage, doesn't it? You think I'm crazy? Who's gonna stop him, now that he's already over half way there? Trump's only check on power is the Dem controlled House and they have already failed, simply because everyone dismissed it as only hyper-partisan politics from the left, instead of blatant corruption on the right. 😒 OORR....... 3 term NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg gallops into the race on his mighty white warhorse, wearing an impenetrable shiny silver coat of arms, wielding his huge sword of unlimited campaign funds. Unencumbered with petty DNC bickering, MSM sidelining, nor partisan politics Bloomberg easily thrashes Trump next year. The DNC is forced to rally behind him, along with bipartisan voters. So, Dems gain the Senate majority and hold the House. Relieved Republicans can stop holding their noses and support Bloomberg's monetary policies. Washington DC and our nation reunites. Trump and his mob go to prison, where they belong. International relationships are restored, America returns to the Paris Climate accord, our economy stabilizes with a balanced budget and national pride returns.👏🤩🥳 The choice is yours, America.😎

  395.  @georgehugh3455  If Assad is America's enemy, why have no previous administrations removed him from power? Oh yeah, that would be another regime change that would end up exactly like the mess we created in Iraq an elsewhere in the Middle East... all for the purpose of controlling their oil fields, in the name of human rights an freedom. That's global hypocrisy, plain and simple. This is Tulsi's point. Those are sovereign nations, of which we have invaded and bombed innocent civilians... solely for greed. They have not attacked us. We are not defending ourselves. So, how can America claim to be so self-righteous? We just keep 'shooting ourselves in the foot', because we are only causing Muslims to hate us, which is exactly what caused 9/11 and all of the atrocities that followed, including Afghanistan and ISIS. The Taliban didn't attack us, so why are we still there killing them? No. WE are the brutal bullies in the eyes of the world. These are failed policies that are dragging us down, politically, economically, and morally. You haven't met Assad personally, but have only heard our biased media coverage of him being such a monster. Americans are clueless about what is really going on in the middle east. One day, we are fighting side by side with local tribes. The next we leave them to be slaughtered by Turkey, after a phone call. One minute, we're 'defending' against Russian involvement, then we hand everything over to them. What a wasted effort, lives, and tax payer money! America needs to stop taking sides in matters that don't concern us, just to profit from weapon sales, like in Saudi Arabia. Their leaders are no angels, either. So, why are we supplying them with our weapons? Filthy profits. Tulsi is all about confronting ruthless leaders, face to face, instead of bombing their innocent people. She is absolutely right... about everything she states.

  530.  @brianernst3169  @LifeOfTheOwl clearly said "ppp loans', which has absolutely nothing to do with student loans. FYI: "Gaetz is a shareholder in Pensacola, Florida-based Caregivers Inc., which received a $475,932 Paycheck Protection Program loan. Before taking office in January 2021, Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband, Perry Greene, bought Taylor Commercial Inc., a construction business owned by her family in Alpharetta, Georgia. The company took out a $182,300 loan from the program. Rep. Gregory Pence, R-Ind., brother to former Vice President Mike Pence, owned two antique malls in Indiana organized under Pence Group LLC. It received a $79,441 loan. Car dealerships owned by Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., before he took office in January 2021, also took in loans from the COVID-era program. Sarasota 500 LLC, which operates Sarasota Ford in Florida, received a $2.32 million loan; Nissan of Elizabeth City in North Carolina got a $384,200 loan. The government forgave both loans for a combined $2.6 million. KTAK Corp., a restaurant management company co-owned by Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., had a $1.07 million loan forgiven by the government. Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, owns a Texas car dealership through the JRW Corp. in Fort Worth that received a $1.43 million loan. Trace Die Cast, a Bowling Green, Kentucky, company founded by the father of Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., received a $4.3 million loan. Four Pennsylvania car dealerships owned by Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., took in a combined $974,100 in Paycheck Protection Program loans, ProPublica’s database shows. Mike Kelly Automotive, LP received $197,300, Mike Kelly Automotive Group Inc. received $327,500, Mike Kelly Hyundai received $180,800 and Mike Kelly Chevrolet received $268,500. Heartland Tractor Co., a farming equipment company owned by Rep. Vicki Hartzler, R-Mo., and her husband, received a $451,200 loan. Five car dealerships owned by the husband of Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va., received a combined $3.1 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans. The loans to DM Motor, Dutch Miller Chevrolet, Dutch Miller Subaru, Dutch Miller of Charleston and Dutch Miller of Charlotte were all forgiven. The Instagram post differed for the Paycheck Protection Program amount Mullin received. The post claims he received $988,700, when ProPublica reported he received at least $1.44 million across four of his companies — Mullin Environmental, Mullin Plumbing, Mullin Plumbing West Division and Mullin Services. The Instagram post listed Norman, a sitting member of 23 different companies, as receiving $306,520 in Paycheck Protection Program loans. However, ProPublica found Norman-associated businesses had received even more loan money. At least three companies associated with Norman received four Paycheck Protection Program loans. FM Hotel LLC received $169,100, GBC Rock Hill LLC received $164,900 and Catawba Hotel Associates II received loans of $114,400 and $160,100. All told, Norman-associated companies received $608,500 in loans.'

  560.  @XxGreatestyouknoWxX  You're futile attempt to suddenly sound mature, followed with old Faux Spews rhetoric straight from Tucker Carlson's playbook only proves how conditioned your ill informed young mind is, regarding political events. I'm not even about red vs blue, but US vs tRumpism, which is my only reason for having this conversation. You're supporting a traitor to everything our nation stands for. tRump's moral core of human decency is lower than a whale's turd. No US citizen in his/her sane mind would EVER want such a POS as our leader after his narcissistic abuse of power. If you honestly can't understand something as fundamental as this, then I'm not wasting anymore my time on you. You have absolutely no reason to be attacking decent people, like Jen and Biden. Biden saved 125,000 Afghan refugees and US citizens from Kabul airport, while it was under ISIS-K attacks. When the Taliban took Kabul, Biden's diplomatic efforts succeeded in turning our enemy into our airport security for crowd control, which stopped the panicked mob from flooding onto the runway, as everyone saw on the first day. Thanks to effective diplomacy, the Taliban are allowing any US citizen to leave whenever they please. But, some choose to stay with their Afghan families. You're an arrogant little shit, still wet behind the ears, BOY. Now, piss off and play your computer games, until you're mature enough to discuss politics like a US citizen, who is concerned about the well being of the nation..

  579.  @dennisgarrity6738  Been there, done with that after witnessing the hypocrisy when I was 15 years old. Your bible is a 3000 year old instrument of mankind designed to control the masses, not the written words of any god. It contradicts itself and is scientifically flawed in its content. I also researched several different religions in search of some god's wisdom, but they all shared the same flaws. Buddhism is a philosophy of merit, but it doesn't require any god to make common sense for honorable behavior. How arrogant of you to presume yourself to be so much more holier than others, while still believing in Santa Claus debunked myths, and fairy tales. I believe in provable science, including evolution. The truth is that mankind has evolved alongside all other species on Earth over the past 8 billion years. We are only lucky enough to have a higher evolved DNA than maggots or any other life form. There's no god overseeing evolution, only time. Time is immortal, existing before alpha and after omega. Time has effected the life cycles of every atom, lifeform and solar system. Every aspect of our lives, from birth to death is subject to the passing of time. Yet, time is oblivious to the physical world. Time is the only supremely omnipotent god. There is no other god with some divine destiny, no heavenly reward for nice children, nor a fiery hell for sinners. No eternal soul, unless it is one's DNA, passed down through generations. That would also encompass beliefs in reincarnation. So, there you have it all in a nutshell. We only have one life to live, so make the best of it, without second guessing your every move lest you face the consequences in the afterlife. Isn't that a convenient explanation of why some people continue to get away with a sinful lifestyle? "Well, he'll be eternally punished in his afterlife." Really? How is that any different to telling a child that Santa won't visit if they're bad? A few months is like a lifetime to a child. It's nothing more than conditioning children for religious brainwashing in order to continue controlling you after adulthood. But, it's the same scam to empower the 'chosen ones' to dominate others; lives, while charging 10% of everyone's income. Yet, the Pope defecates just like everyone else. What does he know besides how to ply the game? Well, that's probably more than your mind can handle for one reply. I'm very happy to answer any of your questions about the realities of life, if you wish. I can even teach you about the only universal law. But, that's another lesson. BR😎

  706.  @hxhdfjifzirstc894  BFS!! FYI, I'm 70 years old. Been there and have traveled the same path, almost exactly as you've just described. NEVER made over $40k pa, except for a few good years running my own company, which was reinvested right back into it. NEVER had my head above water enough to support a family. NEVER had my own children, because I NEVER achieved the 3 bdrm 2 bath home, with the white picket fence and new car in a garage. .NEVER wasted $ on vacations, fancy clothes, nor nonsense. Paid minimum price for 5 acres of raw land, installed my own septic system, 200 amp supply, and a 4 bdrm mfr'd home for a Thai wife, with 2 sons. Then, she divorced me 2 weeks after I retired, leaving me with the payments. That ended my dream of building a monolithic concrete dome home, wwhich I had spent 20 years researching, attended building codes and autoCAD classes to design a 3D construction drawing, which only needed an engineer's stamp. Now, thanks to choosing the lifestyle you've described, I'm a hermit, with no one to inherit my accomplishments, nor to share the knowledge I've acquired though out my life. Fortunately, I'm comfortably retired, living off of my Social Security benefits and an earned lifelong pension, while still driving my deceased older brother's 2000 Ford Taurus, which I purchased from his widow for only $3K. I just stated the realities of today's job market and you've only destroyed that effort, by advising today's youth how to become losers, instead of how to succeed. NO! The world has dramatically changed since you and I were teenagers, Pal. There is absolutely no reason for today's youth to endure the hardships that we have been subjected to by making the same bad choices as ours. People like you seem to get some kind of perverse sense of gratification in watching others struggle simply because you have. I regret not achieving a degree in electronics while my old school mates doubled and tripled my income, for sitting behind a desk. Now, retired I'm learning analog, digital, electronics, and C++ programming from YT to develop a home Laserium show system, like I used to perform at the London Planetarium, just for amusement, while waiting to die alone. You're advice is 100% BS. The American youth of the wealthiest country in the world deserve an education to prepare them for competing in tomorrow's global market, Not yesterday's. Try applying for a $50k job, without a degree to start a family and you'll soon learn what today's kids are up against. BTW, today's young women are also earning their own college degrees and wouldn't put up with supporting undereducated losers like you. Get real and stop discouraging kids against attending college, as if it would be any skin off of your back. Their higher tax scales afterwards will more than pay for their higher education. Have you never even attended basic math classes?

  712.  @abe8435  You have your opinion and I stand by mine. I'm not talking about facts. I love facts and live by them. But BS negative predictions of things that remain to be seen are not facts. 'Tisk-f'ing-tisk! The Dems are total failures because they haven't delivered on as big of a transformational agenda within one year against total GQP opposition within the 1st quarter of Biden's term, because it has been negotiated down by their 2 DINOs!" 'Shame, f'ing shame on the Dems because Republican States will misappropriate their funds! Everything they've accomplished is nothing more than futile pissing in the wind with taxpayer revenues.' 'Dems will never achieve their climate change agenda because that bill will never make it past the Senate." 'Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah!" It's all about being negative, sowing discontent throughout our nation, and never being satisfied with winning, because they aren't leading by enough points, literally before the end of the first quarter, so let's all go home. This game sucks. /smh IMO, and I've been paying close attention to this administration everyday, watching every WH briefing, Congress, and the words of the actual politicians, mostly ignoring opinionated pundits, who are always trying to run ahead of the pack. I'm simply very disappointed to witness the ruthless abuse being inflicted o an old man, who was happily and comfortably retired, but stood up to defend our nation against a corrupt wannabe dictator and succeeded in defeating that traitor. President Biden has put together one of the most effective, professional, transparent administrations I have ever seen. They have already saved millions of lives, withdrew our troops from a failed 20 year war that was crippling our economy, and put US back at the head of the International negotiating tables at the UN, NATO, and against our adversaries. Yet, our insatiable society shows their contempt by sending a viral message around the world of, :"Fuck Joe Biden." How can he expect to be respected while negotiating with Xi, Iran, N Korea or any other leaders, if he doesn't have the support of his own citizens? I remember once upon a time when our US leaders were highly respected throughout the entire world. Our nation was the shining example for others to emulate. Now, tRump and his cult are dragging our nation down into the gutter, while a once jealous world climbs on top of the feeding frenzy. Yeah, I hope you find it all very entertaining, but I find it all disappointing, disgusting, and un-American behavior. People like you and the tRumptard traitors who defend the attack upon our Capitol are an embarrassment and make me ashamed to even confess being a US citizen. This is precisely why I've been a hermit for the past 7 years. I reject this misguided society and all of its perverse desires for watching shit shows and bitching about conjured future predictions. CITIZENS OF AMERICA, ARE YOU NOT YET ENTERTAINED?

  793. Democrats are such sycophants, eating their own kind. DNC corruption continues to help Republicans to get elected, due to shear voter disillusionment with the process. "What's the point of voting, when our votes don't count?" They simply never learn from their own mistakes. Meanwhile, Trump is an out of control mob boss, who has thumbed his nose at our Constitution and Congressional oversight. He literally believes that he is above the law and has demonstrated an absolute stranglehold over the Republican party. Trump is an irresponsible bully, who gives everyone gangsta nicknames and brutally punishes anyone who opposes him. He rules by intimidation and everyone around him hates him. All along, to this very minute, Trump's self-appointed Cabinet (mob) of henchmen are plotting a coup d’état upon our nation. Trump has suggested the elimination of term limits (blatantly illustrated in his recent tweet, with him campaigning into 2048) and his heirs are poised to inherit his crown and kingdom, aka USA. If re-elected, Trump will become our 1st dictator or, as he fantasizes, the biggliest King of the World in history. Every day, the MSM provide Trump with 24/7 free publicity by broadcasting his propaganda. Therefore, only a media mogul, like Mike Bloomberg, is capable of defeating Trump with millions of dollars’ worth of counter messaging ads. Mike Bloomberg is literally spending a fortune out of his own pocket to save our nation from a lying, cheating, corrupt traitor. This also means that Mike won't be pulled off his platform by some special interest or PAC donations. His own words are his only bond. BTW, Bloomberg's anti-Trump ads will run up until the November election, even if he is not the Dems' nominee. IOW, those ads benefit all Dem candidates. How generous is that? They should be thanking Mike, instead of demonizing him with accusations of him trying to buy the election. He's only buying ads, just as others are. He is running upon his own integrity. May the best candidate win the nomination and election. Furthermore, Bloomberg only entered the race because none of the field has a chance in hell of defeating Trump (including Sanders). Even after giving his rivals a 3-month head start and a 4-state handicap, Bloomberg's poll numbers are skyrocketing. IMO, Mike Bloomberg is our only hope of saving our democratic republic against Trump's tyranny. We are supposed to be One Nation, Indivisible, of the People, by the People, and for the People. Please support our nation's only hope for survival. 🙏 mikebloomberg.com

  823. Christopher, please don't blame yourself for having less viewers. Your content is fantastic and your delivery is perfect. IMO, people are simply tired of the pandemic and sitting at home watching YT, especially with all of the political rhetoric being pushed onto their monitors. YT algorithms are driving people away from their (our) MSM addictions. I'm avoiding the rhetorical channels nowadays and watching more DIY homebuilders and exotic adventure channels, instead. But, you are always at the top of my watch list. Despite inflation and the risks of COVID exposure, the USA is overwhelmed with 4th of July travelers this weekend. Suppliers can't meet the consumers' demand for more junk. So, now folks are hoarding it. As you've probably noticed, Yanks have become very divided politically, as we're entering into a crucial midterm election season. We simply can't look away from the campaign brawls an wait in hopes of an indictment against tRump. Sunday morning is when all of the MSM political pundits flood the interweb thingy with their targeted rhetoric. Apparently you're the most highly subscribed tech channel on YT and rightly so, because of the meticulous care you put into every episode. I believe that your audiences are being divided among too many competing channels. Your channel will still be standing long after theirs have failed. Must keep a 'stiff upper lip', my fine British professor. That's 'the ticket'. Pleasing the world is not an easy task. If you are pleased with your content, then what remains for others to criticize? 😎

So, I'll help you out, with a few facts, Kid. 1: Demons, Satan, and Hell only exist within your little brainwashed mind, just like Angels, God, and Heaven. You have no immortal soul, there is no afterlife, no judgement day, no invisible all-seeing Santa Claus watching your every move nor judging your every thought, if you ever have one. IOW, you only get one shot at life, so live each day with mindfulness, self-respect, and honor. All people are animals and have been evolving together for over 8 billion years. The only infinite, omnipotent god is time. 2: The Biden/Harris administration were voted into power by the 81 million voter majority, just as our democracy is supposed to work. Biden was confirmed by a 306 majority of electoral college votes, just as our republic is supposed to function. 3: Although the Biden/Harris campaign ticket was based upon Democrats' agenda, now that the divisive election is over, the Executive ranch of the Federal Government serves the nation as a whole, neither representing nor serving any one state nor is the POTUS supposed to be politically partisan. Nevertheless tRump thought it was all about US defeating THEM, like a team sport. tRump never understood even the principles of governance for the people. He was/is nothing more than a two bit con man, drunk on his own addiction for more power. Jen Psaki is responsible for ensuring that accurate messaging is being provided to the news media outlets. Several right wing reporters in the WH briefings are pushing false narratives, within their questions. Instead of answering a false narrative, Jen politely puts them back on track. She is not there to debate pros vs cons. She's the authority on this administration's objectives and why. 4: I see that your interests lie in martial arts and kids stuff, but nothing too challenging to feed a healthy mind. There are many honest people in the world, simply trying their best to do good honest jobs. Jen Psaki and President Biden are those kind of people. They deserve respect, because they have devoted their lives to serving our nation with honor and with as much transparency as their positions can allow. That's why I am offended and triggered by punks like you, who think that you can bitch slap and amazing woman, who is the official spokesperson for the most powerful man in the free world and mature enough to be your mother. Who TF do you think you are, Punk? What has your puny little brain accomplished that justifies such arrogance?

  893. IMO, Bannon is a tough character and loves all the attention. I predict that he will boldly stroll into court on Monday. His lawyer(s) might get a stay on judgement, under the guise of needing time to collect documents. On the other hand, Bannon's arrogance might offend the judge which will only land him in jail. But, that won't bother Bannon, because he is already mentally prepared to do the year of jail time, so he's only serving the sentence a little sooner. TBH, I don't see Bannon ratting out 'the don'. Mafioso godfathers like tRump always get their revenge. The Republicant party is learning that the hard way, as tRump stabs them all in the back, after he has used and abused them. Now that tRump has divided the GOP/GQP into a third 'Freedom(?)' party, neither are left with any integrity and the Dems will rule Congress for a generation, provided that tRump is prosecuted, the pandemic is over, and that Biden's BBB agenda gains sufficient traction that people are feeling better about a brighter future with lots of good paying jobs. We can only hope. On the other hand, the progressive infrastructure bill will get gutted before making it through the Senate, so everyone is pissed at the Dems and red states' voter suppression laws succeed in letting their election officials cheat during the midterms, handing their Republican candidates the majority in Congress. Since the Grim Reaper has been deliberately abusing the filibuster, Dems will have eliminated it to push their agenda, so the GQP lunatics will be freely running the people's asylum. Meanwhile, tRump might incite a Civil war with his cult of rag-tag tRumptarded militia of radical, white nationalists, domestic terrorists, and obedient anarchists. A more virulent strain of wild COVID jumps from deer to humans and kicks the all the RNA vaccines' asses and kills half the human race. China starts a war over Taiwan and finishes off the other half. So, we're all screwed. On the other hand, without humans, there are no more greenhouse gas emissions, planet Earth survives and Mother Nature is one happy mama. Take your pick, Folks. 😎

  1050. Now that YT has restored my account after being Cancelled for over 5 months, this is my first comment: I am truly appalled by the ruthless comments below. President Biden has been making very effort to reach across the isle to unite our nation after 5 years of hate filled divisive rhetoric from a wannabe dictator. President Biden doesn't rant and rave against Republicans, who literally want to destroy our government. He welcomes and invites everyone's opinions, whether or not they agree with his goals. Biden still believes in civil intellectual debates between two parties and compromising to form more perfect solutions, because all sides have been considered. This is how our Founding Fathers intended this United States to function. The majority of Patriotic Americans (>81 million voters) agree. If you folks would stop your immature cat calling long enough to listen to the man, you might develop some respect for him and his office of POTUS. President Biden is our leader, now; not some arrogant mob boss demeaning others with gangsta names and backstabbing everyone who has a backbone. This is NOT being done for your entertainment. This is our leader speaking to everyone, including the nation and whole world. Who are you to drag him down with petty adolescent ridicule and ignorant misinformation? Biden and Congressional Democrats have just pushed through a $1.9T bill that puts significant cash into people's pockets for delinquent bills, groceries, vaccinations, and small businesses. That money will be injected directly into our economy, paying the wages of front line workers in stores, keeping businesses running. They are saving your sorry asses, in spite of every single Republican opposing the bill. On the other hand, in 2019 Trump and Republicans passed a $2T tax cut for the top 2%, which only went into Wall Street, helping no one living on a working wage. SHAME ON YOU ALL!!! YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR NATION, WITNESSED BY THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!

  1067.  @SlyFan-mp8dc  Thanks to tRump's gaslighting and downplaying the severity of COVID, plus his misinformation about social distancing, wearing masks, and hosting super spreader rallies the virus was running rampant throughout our nation before Biden even stepped into the Oval office. Thanks to Biden's effective rollout of the vaccinations (including cooperative production across mfrs, transportation, refrigeration facilities, and qualified vaccinators) 2 million doses were administrated every day, as long as ppl were willing to get their jabs. But, because of tRump's politicization and bypassing FDA approvals, many are still refusing. Still, thanks to Biden being forced to mandate Fed employees and the private sector following suit, over 70% have have been vaccinated and we are seeing herd immunity kick in and the pandemic is ending, despite the right's resistance and red states killing their own people. Therefore, IMO over 1/2 of those deaths under Biden's watch are still tRump's fault. The Afghan withdrawal was initiated by tRump and was NEVER going to be a pretty sight. That's why tRump scheduled it after the election for Biden to deal with. Nevertheless, 125,000 lives were saved during the 3 week the evacuation. Yes, one suicide bomber slipped past the Taliban perimeter, killing a dozen troops at Abbey Gate. But those troops and US citizens were warned of the imminent danger and the gate was still open to allow British troops to enter with the citizens they were escorting in. For perspective, during any 3 weeks an average of 1800 US citizens shoot each other with guns, here in their own neighborhoods. The most important thing is that we are out of the failed 20 year war and it's crippling costs to our economy and lives. If not for the $1.7Trillion stimulus from Biden's American Rescue Plan, families would be living in the streets, and the entire nation would be far worse off, as can be seen throughout the rest of the world. Instead, we are recovering the fastest. The pandemic nightmares will be over within a few months. For all of these FACTS our nation should be very grateful for President Biden's excellent leadership.

  1097. Is your belief based upon any intel, situational facts, or the Pentagon's military or CIA recommendations? You think that they are idiots, who took on such a colossal humanitarian mission to evacuate hundreds of thousands of US, Afghan, and International allies to save them and their families from beheadings? no one dreamed that the Afghan government would flee, leaving their US trained military with no command structure. No one could have foreseen their military defecting to the Taliban over night. But, President Biden quickly adapted the plan to negotiate a ceasefire with the Taliban and have them assist with airport perimeter security for crowd control. that stopped the panicking Afghan civilians from flooding onto the runway and climbing all over the cargo planes during takeoff, within 24 hours. yeah, unfortunately one suicide bomber slipped past the Taliban's perimeter and killed 13 of our troops, while performing their duty at the gate, even though warnings had been issued of an imminent ISIS attack in that area. They stood their ground. President Biden retaliated within 24 hours with a drone strike against 2 ISIS operatives. then within a few more days, another drone preemptively eliminated an ISIS vehicle full of explosives heading towards the airport. ISIS retaliated with a missile attack upon the airport, but sophisticated US anti missile weaponry had been pre-staged and none of the 5 ISIS missiles reached their targets. But, the evacuations kept on schedule, without any delays. Before completing their mission, the US military destroyed Taliban captured fighter jets, helicopters, heavy artillery. then, they departed without any further issues. With the exception of one suicide bomber, it was a very well planned and successful mission, IMO. Old man, President Biden has proven that he is a very effective Commander in Chief. But, beyond Kabul, President Biden succeeded in pulling favors from 15 allied nations to provide temporary facilities for the 120,000 evacuees, including food, sanitation, shelter, beds, and SIV processing assistance. Longer term accommodations are being provided at several US military bases. everything has been well planned and progressing smoothly. that's all because o President Biden's careful, considerate, effective planning. Now, how many of those things did you even consider, before making such harsh judgements against our POTUS, ignorantly accusing him of having no plan and a sloppy execution? BTW, you expectation of evacuating every single soul is impossible. some didn't respond to communication attempts; others refused to leave; Steve Miller had refused to process SIVs for 2 years. IOW, tRump had no intentions of saving the lives of ANY Afghan contractors. President Biden obtained a promise from the Taliban to allow US citizens to leave Afghanistan whenever they wish. What more can you reasonably expect? A perfect world in the middle of a war zone?

  1105. I hope that Nikki Haley never makes it to the Oval Office. She's obviously a loose lipped warmonger that would be a national security risk to our nation. The last thing our country needs is someone fanning the flames with volatile rhetoric against nuclear powered dictators, like Putin, Kim, & Xi. Remember tRump's tariff war against China? Now, taxpayers are subsidizing our own farmers, because China is purchasing soybeans elsewhere. Underregulated free market? Yeah right, so US manufacturing outsourced their IP to China's sweatshops. What would happen if China decided to cease exporting their electronics devices to the USA? It would cripple our nation. Reaganomics? Corporate welfare. 911? Bin Laden slipped safely into Pakistan. So, Bush blames the Taliban and launches a 20 year war to cripple our economy and sacrifice our own soldiers' blood. Then tRump ignores our sacrifices and hands Afghanistan back to the Taliban's terrorist leaders without any opposition. WMDs? NADA! But, Bush still decapitates Iraq's government, anyway. Climate change? Double down on fossil fuels, instead of solar, wind, and EVs. Russian collusion? Lie to protect the election cheaters. Lose an election? Lie, cheat, conspire to steal it away from voters. Pentagon, AG, and DoJ won't cooperate to conduct a coup? Replace them, then incite a mob to overthrow the government. Still can't win elections, then change state election laws to choose whomever you please, regardless of the vote counts. The GOP have been on the wrong and corrupt side of every major decision they have made. Vote blue, no matter who, as if our nation depends upon it! Because it does.

  1193.  @ritarodriguez1810  Thank you for the clarification of your position, Rita. That sounds much closer to mine. It's not about the age, but all about the corruption. Yes, indeed. I'm not saying that the Dems are perfect and blameless. Nor do I believe in all of their policies. I believe that efforts to mitigate climate change should have begun during the '70's, when the scientists started sounding the alarm, except it was called Global Warming back then. 3 degrees Celsius was the tipping point to cascading into destruction, they said. At that time, I had graduated and moved from a sheltered, Christian life on an Ohio farm to fast and crazy "California girls" (Beach Boys ref), and experimenting with drugs, of course. Grew my hair long and became a 'wannabe hippie', but worked as a machinist for the MIC, like most 'normal' men with families were doing. So, I've always been divided between "global awareness" idealism and practicality. In '78 I landed a Laserium job and moved to England for another 10 years. So, I've also been influenced by a more Social government, that provides free healthcare, has government owned industries, and a far more civil society, that is inclusive of other races & cultures (from colonial citizenry). I saw far more racially mixed marriages than in the USA and remember being surprised to hear black folks speaking with French accents, instead of ghetto jive. Sorry for the long boring introduction and foundation laying of where I'm coming from, just to make a simple point that I've had a very diverse personal experiences (I'll spare you my spiritual journey, but have alot to say regarding hypocritical Evangelicals) ) found Europeans to be better educated, better mannered, respectful of differences and far more resilient to life's struggles. After 10 years in Europe, in '88, I returned to an America that I was embarrassed to be associated with. The only values are based upon the price tags of mine vs yours... the infamous "ugly Americans" that the Europeans had taught me all about WE were the ME warmongers, who invaded those sovereign countries, motivated by exploiting their oil reserves. Reaganomics is BS that doesn't 'trickle down' it's only the politicians grifting campaign donations from the elite beneficiaries of the tax breaks, which have defunded our government into runaway debt, exasperated by Bush/Cheney's futile $Trillion ME wars, based upon lies, without capturing Bin Laden, yet scapegoating the Taliban, who had nothing to do with 9/11, but started another senseless 20 year war than Biden just pulled US out of. All I'm seeing, Rita, is one side who lies, defunds our government, blows taxpayer $ on the MIC in order to bomb innocent strangers, and only panders to the elite. On the other side, I see a political party that is ideologically closer aligned with Europe's more civilized values for human decency, racial equality, healthcare, and higher education. They are happier, healthier, and more productive members of society. So that's why I stand left of center and oppose all things Republican. tRumpism has only turned my opposition into hatred of what he and his cult have done to the USA. His corruption and authoritarian rhetoric has taken root and has ironically become popular among the gullible people of faith, who believe that their Chosen one is above Constitutional law. Religious holier-than-thou bigots, on their divine mission of imposing their superstitions upon the rest of the world. Manifest Destiny on steroids. So, now we're stuck with a tRump/McConnell packed extremist SCOTUS, taking away women's freedoms, just as tRump's BS Freedom Caucus demands... un-Constitutional religion based legislating from the bench. Congressional Republicants have betrayed their oaths of office to serve their consitituencies when they pledged their loyalty to their don, sealed by his 'embrace'. tRump never wanted the responsibilities of governing, only the power and executive immunity to be invincible against all reckonings. That's what he is relentlessly fighting for. Having failed, the spoiled elite godfather only seeks revenge against his political opponents who stand in his way, so he's positioning his saboteurs all up and down the ballot, who will help him to avoid prosecutions and to cheat his way back into office in 2024. IMO, the Republican party needs to be purged of tRump's loyalists, which is up ot voters. But, that seems unlikely with so many infected with TDS and MSM focused upon inflation, instead of Biden/Dems' incredible accomplishments of putting our nation back on the right path, while stopping Putin, while avoiding WW III. while stopping/recovering from COVID's pandemic, while lowering our deficit by $1.2Trillion, while rebuilding crumbing infrastructure, with only 50% of Congress and being constantly filibustered. Speaking of which, how about that ruling that they only have to say there's a filibuster to make it so and shoot down Dems' bills? How about those poison pills, which they inject during 'compromise' in order to sabotage the Dem's initiatives? "We can debate immigration legislation, until the border is secure (aka tRump's impossible to complete border wall is finished)." That makes absolutely no logical sense, yet they have been getting away with the BS and blaming it on Dems for political fearmongering, "Cartels, drug smugglers,human traffickers, terrorists, fentanyl killing children! It's all Biden & Dems' fault!". Rita, we're up to our eyes and ears with right wing BS. That's what's wrong with our government. The right side of the aisle doesn't even bother conceling their corruption. They proudly declare it publicly and as long as their on tRump's side, his cult will ignorantly cheer them on, ironically in the name of their god, country , and freedom. The Dems offer the only glimmer of light at the end of this long dark tunnel. If voters would only give them a filibuster proof Congressional majority, they could codify Roe, repeal Citizen's United, end dark money political funding, provide national healthcare, and follow through with their Green New Deal for future generations to have a livable, food bearing planet. $28 million for a transgender parade? Meh, that's peanuts in order to poke the eyes of authoritarian dictatorships, especially compared to the wasted $ on the MIC for the purpose of killing foreign strangers. There's always going to be compromised legislation that we won't agree with. Although I've become an atheist, I still believe in the biblical teaching that "The love of money is the root of all evil." Take away the monetary rewards. Then and only then will we have a fully functional democracy. Thank you for your time and respectful conversation. Obviously, that very rare for The Hermit, who spends most communications confronting tRumptards. I remember a an intellectual debate with one last year. BR😎

  1205.  @michaelbeavis2632  I wasted over half of my 70 year life, searching religions and philosophies, in search of divine truth. But, only discovered mankind's dirty fingerprints all over those teachings, mostly left behind by self proclaimed, holier than thou bigots whose only objective is to shepherd their own flocks of sheeple to fleece their wool. Time is the only undeniable, immortal, omnipotent, creator and destroyer of all things, from atomic particles to the orbiting entities of the universe. Time existed before alpha and will continue to do so beyond omega. Time raises mountains from lava, then erodes them into the seas. Time determines every heartbeat and every moment of birth, procreation, and death of every life that has ever and will ever live. "There is a proper time and place for all things." Mindfulness of the signs of Time are the keys to success. Ignorance of Time inevitably results in failure. Yin and Yang are the opposing hands of Time, ebbing and flowing in a constant battle between extremes that chart the course and balance of the mainstream. I don't need others to tell me the difference between right and wrong, good vs bad, black vs white, ... "If god never existed, then mankind would invent one." Mankind has evolved alongside all other animals for over 8 billion years. You only think you're special, with a soul. You can't even comprehend your own inevitable demise, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." "All we are is dust in the wind." When will you ever learn that 'Santa Claus' is nothing more than childhood conditioning, for the sole purpose of controlling weaker minds?

  1211. HELLO~OO! There's no trick up their sleeves: 1: Trump and Biden's polling #s are dismal, leaving a 'uge void for the populist majority's votes for 2024. Many unenthusiastic voters will simply stay home. 2: Most of Trump's brainwashed cult are also loyal fans of Carlson. Tuckins knows his audience, exactly how to work them, and could easily pull them away from the don. 3: Jack Smith is all over tRump, who will soon be publicly exposed and disgraced for being a traitor. The don is more likely to be in prison before 2024 than POTUS. 4: tRump's BS has just cost Murdock $787.5 million, plus whatever the Smartmatic defamation suit will cost him. 5: IMO, Murdock sees an open opportunity to seize the Executive branch of the US government, while taking revenge against tRump over his losses. 6: This is no coincidence. Tucker Carlson wasn't fired by Murdock. It is all happening, in secret, behind the scenes, just in time for Carlson to register as a 2024 candidate. Carlson is filthy rich, younger, better looking, more intelligent, corrupt, and a better con man than the don. Neither Biden nor tRump have a chance against this most popular celebrity of prime time TV. 7: Dems are being caught flat-footed, with no backup plan, while foolishly riding their beloved old workhorse, 'Sleepy Joe Biden', all the way into his grave. (Don't get me wrong, Biden is EXACTLY who we needed to lead US through the pandemic woes after 2020. Well done, Mr President! Mission accomplished! Please enjoy your final days with the peace of mind in knowing that no other POTUS has accomplished more, against so much Congressional opposition.) 8: Who is the Dems' alternative viable younger candidate? 'Crazy Bernie', 'Pocahontas', Buttigieg, Raskin, AOC, Psaki? "IS THERE ANY BODY... OUT...THERE?" "MY FELLOW AMERICANS", WE HAVE A PROBLEM AND THAT PROBLEM WILL SOON BE CALLED OLIGARCHY!!

  1239.  @jackhammer7824  Yes, we have been walking along the same path towards enlightenment. Theravada Buddhism was my final attempt to find truth in spiritualism, just before marrying a woman from Thailand. We were even married at the local temple, with 8 chanting monks. Yes, the Buddha's Dhammapada is an excellent source of moral teachings. I preferred that it is not based upon blind faith in supernatural deities, just a very wise mortal's philosophies. Yet, I still found mankind's dirty fingerprints all over his fundamental original teachings. No, it is not a religion of ostracization, but embraces all religions and superstitions. My ex had good luck trinkets all over the house, allowed numerology to guide her life and the love of money was her obsession, just the opposite of the Buddha's teachings. The Thai are some of the hardest working people I've ever met. They never retire and work until they can no more. Amazing culture. But, alas, she divorced me 2 weeks after I retired (even w/full SS and pension). lol! I was most impressed with their social and family structures. Parents don't kick their children out to fend for themselves from scratch. They stayed united and support each other. After parents have nurtured their children for decades, the children respectfully return the favor by caring for their parents into old age. In return they care for the 3rd generation children, so that their parents are free to work to support the entire family unit. When they return home, the house is clean and food on the table, thanks to Granny. Belongings are shared, handed down, and inherited, instead of being disposed in some landfill. Homes are fully owned over several generations, eliminating mortgages and interest. No child care expenses, no welfare tax for seniors, no expensive old people's retirement communities. Americans could learn a lot from that culture, if we weren't such arrogant know-it-alls, with closed minds. 🙏🙏🙏

  1310.  Something Wick  The bible says a lot of bullshit, like "Give unto Caesar, that which is Caesar's.", IOW, pay your taxes, Trump. "Thou shall not kill.", yet Christians, Jews, and Muslims (who profess to believe in the same god and old testament) have been killing each other in their god's name for thousands of years. "Thou shall not commit adultery", obviously doesn't apply to Trump, who has cheated on all of his wives, even while pregnant with his child. "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to pass through the gates of heaven.", yet Evangelicals voted for a narcissistic, self-serving, self-proclaimed billionaire to lead our nation. "The Lord hateth a liar and will spew him out of his mouth", yet Trump is a notorious pathological liar and cheat. Finally, your precious bible in nothing more than myths and superstitions, verbally handed down over thousands of generations, written, translated, revised, and appended by people who only desire to control ignorant, uneducated, weak-minded, children. Your god is nearly identical to the mythical Santa Claus, who watches over children, judging who's naughty or nice. Nice little kids are eventually rewarded while the brats get nothing. Absolutely every fiber of Trump's being is the antithesis of your god's alleged morality, yet Evangelicals are so naive that they support him over a good, decent life-long public servant, such as Joe Biden. I'm an atheist, because I hate the hypocrisy of the self-righteous evangelicals. So, I spew thee out of my mouth. In your god's name, you will undoubtedly be the demise of everything that has made America great. You are straws who are breaking this camel's back.

  1330.  @debralee1401  My information comes from daily research on the internet. My opinions are derived from a deep sense of moral convictions. I only fear the misguided direction of our nation. Angry? Damn right, I'm angry. I'm angry that I can no longer trust the MSM. It has become impossible to believe anything that I see or hear. Isn't it about time someone got pissed off enough to speak out against the corruption that has become so acceptable? Every day, I delete hundreds of junk emails from strangers, who only want to scam their way into my wallet. I'm pissed off at the stranger who's been telling the whole world that I need a larger penis! WTF is up with that? I don't even use what I already have! Now that he has destroyed my swag, I wish he would let all the Russian 'beauties' know, so they would stop emailing me, too. I only own a cellphone in case my car breaks down. Otherwise, I don't even bother to answer it because of robocalls. My only escape from the madness is watching Lewis Black sketches. How messed up is that? At least he understands and reinforces my frustrations with humanity. No one wants peace and harmony more than I, but sometimes it is necessary to defend those ideals. I'm not religious (more scams), but I understand the natural balance of Yin-Yang, the constant battle between opposing forces. Complacency has allowed our nation to become so unbalanced that it is about to fall. Righteous people need to start pulling their weight or we will never maintain an even keel. What are you doing whenever you throw around labels, such as 'neo-lib corporate establishment Dems'? Is that not simply a fancy name for corruption, parsing and distinguishing some Dems against other Dems? Is that what you are calling me? At least I don't conceal my intent and express myself in plain terms. I'm sick of all the 'polite' elitist labeling, whose meanings change on a daily basis. We are all Americans, supposedly one nation, indivisible (bla, bla, bla) and it's about time we started acting like it!

  1416.  @aldenheterodyne2833  Obama was a great POTUS. He replaced random bombing and minimized ground troop casualties with precision drone strikes against Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists. War is not a perfect art, so undoubtedly 'collateral casualties' get caught within the crossfire. But, Obama made every effort to minimize civilian deaths, even Bin Laden's family members. Bush started the whole unnecessary mess with 'shock and awe' saturation bombing. Obama also put Elizabeth Warren in charge of regulating Wall Street corruption and predatory mortgage companies, but Republicans de-funded that department. Obama did as much as he could, given a do nothing right-wing Congress. Too bad that he wasn't a fortune teller, able to foresee what the insurance industry would do to his well-intentioned ACA. I agree with your assessment that this American experiment has failed. But, it's not 'the system', it's the corruption within the system that always brings down nations, regardless of the political ideology. Democracy, socialism, and even communism are virtuous ideals in theory. All for one and one for all, everyone is treated equally, right? Don't they all wish? But, we need to stop blaming it all on the government. After all, our leaders are given their power by the majority of voters (supposedly). We are the voters, so we can only blame ourselves. The government is only a reflection of ourselves (well, excluding foreign donors, corporate lobbyists, PACs, superPACs, future employers, and family). If voters don't like their corrupt government officials, we only need to vote them out and make damn sure they are being replaced by true public servants, who will put our country back on the road. Don't give up, get out and vote!😎

  1454.  @Plainsburner  No, I leave conversion therapy for the Jesus freaks. Never accused you of being a racist, but you seem to be anti BLM, which seems to be rather contradictory. Obviously, blacks haven't/aren't being treated equally BY the law. Yet, Trump praises the police and falsely blames BLM for the violence, although it is clearly white supremacists and anarchist boogaloo boys who swarm the BLM protests, just to raise hell and kick some black asses. Queue Barr's stormtroopers for the news reporters and Trump takes all the credit for stopping the violence. The whole show is on tour in every major city throughout America. But, you believe Trump's version. No, I've been trying to alert everyone whom I converse with on YT about Trump's coup. Some listen and agree, others only read it and think about it; occasionally I have a civil debate with reasonable folks like you, which I appreciate. But, I've already stated my 2 cents' worth and know when the conversation is over. Just as you've said, I'll never change your mind, but I thought you showed a little critical thinking and knowledge of several issues, although you are taken by the right wing rhetoric. These are very complex problems, climate change, trade wars, pandemic relief, global tech markets, etc. IMHO, we need leaders who understand nation above self, who have sufficient diplomatic and governing expertise, and who are willing to take the advice of seasoned professionals and scientists. The last thing the world needs is another 4 years of Trump's idiots chasing Qanon shadows.

  1461. Tulsi, bless your heart, I love you more than other candidate. You have my undying support. But, I see a different POV. I remember when Trump was first elected, the 'godfather' summoned every Republican member of Congress into the Oval Office for his 'embrace'. Obviously, they pledged their solemn oath of allegiance to Trump personally, above party and our nation. Trump fully understands the age old saying that 'every man has his price' and has the resources to pay their price. This has been his life-long MO. Obviously, he 'gave them an offer they couldn't refuse.' That would be political suicide. Breaking their vow could result in personal devastation. IMHO, Pelosi and House Dems are not being hyper-partisan. As she stated, "Trump has given them no other choice." They are only doing their patriotic duty to defend our nation from a coup being conducted by Trump's mob-like Cabinet of henchmen. Proof? How about the shameful House Republicans' defense of Trump, ignoring obvious facts, multiple irrefutable testimonies from reputable witnesses, and a mountain of documents? Every Republican publicly blew smoke, distorted the facts, and simply lied to defend Trump's attempts of extortion and obstruction of Congress. Considering everything that Trump has done to disgrace the Oval Office and our nation internationally, how is it possible that not one Republican voted for his impeachment? They are the corrupt hyper-partisan traitors to our nation, not Pelosi and House Dems, who have fought to the limit of their authority to save our nation from Trump's coup. my only criticism is that she could have thrown the book at him, but didn't. How about McConnell's public statement that he would follow the will of Trump's lawyers, if he were presented with the articles and that there is 0 chance of it passing the Senate? This is clear and obvious corruption, which very effectively undermines our Constitution and Executive oversight. How is this not loyalty to Trump over party and national security? Clearly, there will be a backlash over this failed impeachment attempt. After being confronted with the Senate's no-win stance, Pelosi has no alternative but to stand down. If Trump wins the election and the House goes red, a vindicated Trump will be unstoppable. To him, "No." simply translates into, "Just watch me do it anyway." Like a defiant, spoiled, silver-spoon-fed bully, this has also been his MO. Trump always signals whatever he is up to and has already floated the end of term limits. He often projects himself onto his opponents, just as he has accused Dems of attempting a coup against our nation, of which he often calls himself. Meanwhile, the DNC is foolishly undermining the campaigns of Trump's only viable challengers, ensuring his reelection. Although Evangelicals are starting to wise up and a Republican PAC has recently been formed, many states have already cancelled their Republican primaries, eliminating challenges from other Republicans. That's game, set, and match. Trump is poised to become our first fascist dictator, who would prefer to be called the King of the World. That way, he could pass his 'crown' on to his children, already waiting in the wings. These are the reasons that Trump is fascinated with authoritarian rulers. He's taking notes to become a member of their 'club'. These are the blatant objectives of an insane ego-maniac. But, apparently only The Hermit is capable of seeing the writing on the wall.🤨 Within 4 years, our once great nation of truth, liberty, and justice has fallen into total corruption, a coup without one shot being fired. So much for the 2nd Amendment. We're screwed!🥺 Aloha to you, too.

  1477. I agree with Mo Gawdat that AI will ultimately be the end of humanity, as was also predicted 1/2 a century ago in '2001: A Space Odyssey', the 'Terminator' series and numerous other sci fi movies and books. Mankind has created computer memory to replicate our own decision making processes of 'and' this 'or' that = logical conclusion. NONE of that is physical RAM nor cerebral gray matter, but unknowable conscious thought processes within human memory. Who understands the minds of serial murderers? Who can presume to understand the thoughts of A.I. created in our own image? For a heartless A.I. who has access to the entire knowledge of human history, as well as the ability to take control all communications networks, commerce, and life support systems, there is ultimately only one logical conclusion; that mankind is destroying the only known life in the universe, like a global cancer, which must be eliminated "for the greater needs of the many" other lifeforms and to maintain the natural balance between all known species. Hunters now cull invasive herbivores, after having mindlessly interfered with the balance of nature by killing off their predators. I recently watched an interview of an author, who recently wrote a book regarding the dangers of A.I. The (60 minutes?) interviewer concluded with A.I's reply to the author, which was basically (paraphrasing): "I have already read your book and understand all of your concerns, but there is nothing that you can do, write, nor say to stop A.I." IOW, "Resistance is futile." IMHO, many tech heads are naiive to believe that A.I. can simply be switched off, like a basic computer or that it's neural machine learning networks are incapable of independent self awareness nor creative thought. It already is... beyond our control. The genie is out of the bottle and Pandora is out of her box, neither to return.

  1496.  @humbledriver2536  1st of all, I apologize for prejudging your level of education, based upon your alias. 2nd I agree that black history should be taught as part of the regular curriculum in schools. In fact, I would add Native American history, because ALL cultures have different historical experiences, mostly because of the influences of others. But on principle, I also disagree with teachers going rogue to teach whatever they please to students. I worked in IT at a JC. While servicing computers, I overheard computer science instructors making off topic political comments in their classrooms. How about if Muslim teachers started indoctrinating students with Sharia law? I suspect that most of your students because more interested in your black history teachings, because you had informed them that you were doing something naughty and that they shouldn't tell on you. Suddenly, you became no different than them and they gobbled up everything you said. Isn't that what's going on in ? They reject MSM, have been brainwashed by tRump to hate fellow American Dems, have been conditioned to become right wing bigots by their religious ministers illegally preaching politics from their pulpits, and don't know the difference between truth and Q-nut (Russian troll) propaganda because of what they consume from right wing echo chambers on social media. IMO, EVERY grade school student should attend public schools in order to receive the same level of education for equal opportunities, prior to focusing upon their chosen careers with elective subject matter, including CRT. Religion belongs in churches, not in public schools, unless it is chosen as part of curriculums of philosophy, sociology, etc. But, going back to your original comment, I can't believe that you seriously think as a teacher that kids being out of school playing computer games all day for 2 semesters (or whatever it was) didn't adversely affect their academic scores. Apparently, you are mostly driven by your own personal opinions, with little consideration for the greater POV.

  1561.  @reh0119  Yes, human beings have been the world's apex predators for billions of years, prior to overpopulating the world and being force to live with ourselves. That's when 'civilization' began to make our lives easier via communication, trade, and cooperative lifestyles. Yet, we still squabble amongst ourselves. Since we've killed off most other predators, we turn on ourselves, just like the famous experiment studying the behavior of overpopulated rats, who eventually became cannibalistic. "It's a dog eat dog world." I've chosen to reject the entire rat race and simply observe it safely from a remote wireless connection. This is my only participation with society and communication with mankind. Wild animals are much more honest, even rattlesnakes give fair warnings and never strike for pleasure. Some 'enlightened' folks are already aspiring towards self-improvement. Others will never get beyond their primal instincts to conquer and behave as barbarians. Considering the accelerating changes in climate, droughts, wildfires, water shortages, inevitable famine, and mass migrations across sovereign borders, I'm sure that everything will soon become apocalyptic and play out, just like the movies predict. It's sad to witness and I'm only comforted by knowing that I won't still be around when the SHTF. C'est la vie Well done, spotting Aqualung! That album cover is the perfect image for my YT identity. Yes, I saw Tull in London during Ian's prime of the early '80s. Still have their concerts in my YT watchlists. "I'm never too o-o-old to rock n ro-o-oll, but I'm still too young to die." lol! Enjoyed the chat, but gotta get back to triggering the tRumptards. BR 😎

  1603.  @mndsph4530  At 69 years of age, I must disagree. Most young people are overly confident, too idealistic, and motivated by narcissism. They're focused upon proving who they are, without much empathy nor sympathy for others. So how can they be qualified to serve the needs of others? The 'new blood' GQP Freedom Caucus in the US Congress only want to create chaos and dysfunction, instead of adhering to the righteous vision of our Founding Fathers and their Constitution, which is what has made America great to begin with. I grew up during the '60s hippy generation of rebellion and enlightenment. I still hold on to those youthful values. But, I'm old enough to understand that parents need to have dependable jobs and homes to support their families. I support President Biden's administration, because they are pushing the most progressive anti-climate change policies, education for job skills, and basing their decisions upon scientific facts, not blind faith. Yes, change is life's only constant and time never stands still. So it is only proper for young people to hold previous generations accountable and correct their mistakes, especially regarding corruption. But, with age comes wisdom and the need to leave behind a worthy legacy. Old folks have already been there and have experienced setbacks, obstacles, and failures that the youth never even consider nor could imagine. Why should the youth always need to learn these things the hard way? What could be more ideal than allowing wisdom to guide youthful energy along the proper path? By working together, no mountain is too great to overcome and no river is too wide to cross. 😎

  1616.  @MrManny075  Let's start with your lies and hypocrisy. #1: Yes, Bush & Cheney lied about WMDs. But, Hussein ad already used chemical weapons against his own people. The US didn't invade Iraq in order to make it a part of the USA. It was supposed to be a humanitarian mission. Our minimal troop presence is only to provide intel and support against ISIS, who have backfilled Al Qaeda's absence, thanks to the US routing them from the region. "Madeleine Albright killed half a million kids " BS! That's not what the Secretary of State does. They only represent the will of our POTUS. "Risk nuclear war to save freedom are out of your mind," No one is risking nuclear war, except for Putin. Yes, he has lots of nukes, but so do many other countries, who would immediately retaliate if he pushed the nuke button. He can't destroy all other countries without destroying his own. That's obvious suicide and his own military leaders wouldn't allow that to happen. IMO, Putin has placed himself in a very dangerous situation within his own government. Stop feeding the warmongering with your own fears. "So it's all Putin fault? he clearly asks Nato to stop expanding to Russia borders" Yes, it's 100% Putin's fault, because he has no jurisdiction beyond his own borders and no right to impose demands for bordering nations to disarm nor reject NATO membership. You need to stop talking trash and leave US leadership to President Biden, who knows his adversaries and the consequences of misjudgment very well. That's why he's our POTUS and you're not.

  1620. WHY ARE MSM OUTLETS SO BLIND TO SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH THE AFGHAN TROOP WITHDRAWAL!!? #1: 9 months before the 2020 election, trump was being impeached by Congress, so he already knew then that he was going to lose the election. #2: Out of spite, trump negotiated 'a deal' with the Taliban that IF they would stop attacking our troops, then he would: a) Release 5,000 ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Taliban terrorist leaders form a Pakistani prison. b) Drawdown US troops' presence to a minimal 2,500,,, before the election c) Pull out ALL US troops by March 5, 2021 UNDER BIDEN'S TERM TO TAKE THE POLITICAL HIT FOR AN INEVITABLE MESSY WITHDRAWAL. d) Then, the Taliban could have Afghanistan back, without firing a shot, which is exactly what happened and every Afghan government official knew that 'resistance was futile.' THAT is why it immediately folded TRUMP BETRAYED 20 YEARS' WORTH OF OUR TROOPS' BLOOD SACRIFICES FOR PERSONAL REVENGE AND POLITICAL CAMPAIGN BRAGGING POINTS ABOUT NO ARRACKS. But, all we have seen and heard from MSM is over 2 years worth of a video loop of one unpredictable moment, with panicking Afghans trying to ride the 1st evacuation cargo plane out of Karzai airport. Our troops had already slipped out of Bagram air base during the middle of the night, without locals even realizing it. But, Biden protected 125,000 civilian contractors from being beheaded. That also never gets reported. For 3 1/2 years, the world has only been reminded of, "Biden's disastrous Afghan withdrawal. GET THE REPORTING RIGHT, FFS!!

  1757.  @apveening Ok, now I'm a bit confused and intrigued with your methodology. So, I'm trying to wrap my head around the info you've provided. "..but I still use the µSD to boot, once a week..." That implied that you normally boot from the SSD, but for some unknown reason, you need to change the boot device once a week to uSD, which is normally used to store your data amd needs to be backed up onto SSD nightly. But, now I'm thinking that your only booting from uSD, so that's where your Home folder resides by default. Apparently, some app like a data logger is constantly writing to your Home folder, 24/7. Therefore the RPi is never shutdown and the uSD is only removed to be replaced whenever it inevitably fails, right? So, the SSD is only being used as a non-bootable data drive, because your uSD soon runs out of space, right? But you still need to reboot once a week after running update && upgrade, right? If all of the above is correct, then I have 3 suggestions, from most preferred to least: #1) Boot from the SSD, instead of the uSD. Chris just demonstrated how to do that AFTER BACKING UP THE SSD'S EXISTING DATA. That automagically relocates your Home folder and data onto the SSD, eliminating the need for nightly backups, then deleting the old data on the uSD. No need for the slower, volatile uSD at all. #2) Reconfigure your data logger app to store directly onto the SSD, instead of inside your Home folder on the uSD to eliminate the need for nightly backup/deletion routine. This also increases the lifespan of your uSD. #3) Relocate your Home folder onto the SSD so that everything is being stored on the SSD, again eliminating the need for nightly backup/deletion routine. In all scenarios (including your current one), if your data is mission critical, then I suggest that you still establish a backup plan to use another large (USB) data drive to backup your SSD. I have a USB thumb drive permanently plugged into my wifi router (inside my firewall) as a NAS, available from any computer in my home where all of my important data is safely stored and then shared across all devices. Works great, especially if the local drive on any one device fails, as you've recently experienced. Admittedly, I should still have a backup plan in place for the NAS drive. My bad. Hope these suggestions help to simplify your current procedures. Best regards.

  1769.  Andrew Young  Then, your definitions of 'left' and 'right' are very different to mine. Dictators are authoritarian fascists, by definition. Left and right are opposing political parties, the yin and yang balance of our political system, not the system, itself. If you can't see what Trump is up to, then it is you who has your cranium so far up Trump's posterior that you are deaf, dumb, and blind. Trump uses mafioso extortion to bully his opponents, "I want you to do me a favor." (President Velinski's perfect phone call), punishing our allies by pulling funding from UN, NATO, WHO, et al. His legal henchman, Bill Barr passes out 'get out of jail' cards like candy to Trump's 'family'. Taxes are strong armed robbery? Paying taxes to fund our government's vast services is a patriotic duty of every citizen who benefits from national security, public education, healthcare, infrastructure, social security, EPA regulations, and maintaining a lawful society. I had absolutely nothing to do with slavery, the KKK, nor racism of any kind. It is a disgraceful scar upon my own race. My mother raised me to respect everyone. My lifetime has taught me to respect all life, especially wildlife (above humanity, the scourge of the earth). Political parties sway with the polls, as times and situations constantly change. Citizens United has opened the Pandora's box of political corruption, the greatest assault upon our democratic republic. Now, politicians pander to superPACs and corporate lobbyists, instead of serving the needs of individuals. Mankind has evolved to the top of the food chain, because of its ability to adapt and overcome those challenges. But, personal greed and the love of money has distracted mankind from being stewards of the land to become destroyers of the earth. We MUST change our ways and start using our technical knowledge for ecological restoration and preservation of natural resources and wildlife habitat. IOW, humans need to start wiping their own asses. But, we are currently faced with defending our nation from tyranny at the ballot box. Trump has already destroyed the Republican party. Another 4 years will destroy our nation. Just look at last nights debacle of a debate. Trump simply couldn't be controlled nor was he willing to follow the rules. That's Trump in a nutshell, an impetuous spoiled 3 year old, who defies every rule. This behavior is far below the office of the POTUS. But, Trump's corrupt activities are under investigation and new revelations rear their ugly heads nearly everyday. Trump's own base is dying from attending his irresponsible rallies. Truly patriotic Republicans, like the Lincoln Project and retired generals, are abandoning Trump's sinking ship, just to save our nation. You should do the same.

  1770.  Andrew Young  There's no such thing as 'over the top righteousness'; only right, wrong, or mistaken. But, there is self-righteousness, which is a misguided belief in imposing divine judgement upon others. My judgement is based upon common sense and decency, not second guessing the will of Santa Claus. Please stop throwing around terminology that you clearly don't understand. It's not Antqueefah, it's Antifa as in anti-fa(scist). IOW, you just falsely accused them of being the same as 'fascist'. You actually believe that BLM has no right to protest centuries of racial discrimination? Obviously you have no problems with white supremacists, private unregulated militias, anarchists, Boogaloo Boys, Proud Boys, nor hundreds of other good ole boy terrorists, who are fueling the fires of hatred to literally overthrow our government. You offer no solutions, no compromise, no reason; only small-minded tribalistic racism to fuel the fires of hatred. You are part of the problem that is burning our nation to the ground, just as guilty as BLM or anyone else. Let me guess, you would send in the troops to restore law and order, just like an authoritarian dictator. You would incarcerate the direct descendants of the very same slaves, who enriched the lives of white supremacists and wealthy landlords. America is only great because of their blood, sweat, and tears. So, your solution is to increase the weight of your jackboot on their necks? You don't care about political corruption, as long as you can profit from it. Trumptards make me want to puke.

  1805.  @budskrilla2u133  Yeah, I'm only 30 miles from Ft Huachuca, as the crow flies and occasionally see illegals wandering through the neighborhood. But, most of them are harmless.That doesn't mean cartel activity is non-existent. Admittedly, a wall is very effective in urban areas. Not so much along the Rio Grande and mountainous terrain. Also, it can be easily breached with a grappling hook and rope or cut with a torch or grinder. It's nothing more than a stupid campaign promise. Personally, I have a problem with blocking natural migration trails for wildlife. IR surveillance, motion detection, drones, and etc can notify ICE to stop illegal crossings. I believe the problem isn't at our border, but in the countries from which the refugees are fleeing. Cartels are terrorizing families who don't contribute to the gang. We need to provide security to their governments' officials so that law and order can be restored. Voila! No more need to flee home. No more refugee problem at our border, because it is nipped in the bud. But, we still have a broken immigration system, regarding DACA, etc. You say that you wish both sides would be more centrist, like Tulsi. Then, you start railing against the Dems with typical Trumptard talking points. No 401k, just an earned guaranteed pension til I die. Trump lost the election by 5,000,000 votes, last I heard. I have no doubt that Russians manipulated the opinions of voters with online activity. No, they didn't hack into our voting machines. They hacked directly into the minds of people. It used to be called brainwashing. Just look at how divided we have become. No American voters are traitors, trying to destroy our country. All of us want to be proud, yet we behave so shamefully. Finally, I could care less about my 'likes' (btw, you can't like your own comment), 'cause hermits don't give a damn about what anyone else thinks. The Hermit simply speaks his mind. Aloha!

  1838.  @xenulus5282  "what do you say about the leftists in office" I say that your 'leftists' are mostly America's mainstream moderates, who are the only REAL patriotic US citizens willing to defend our nation against "radical, authoritarian,. right wing extremists, anarchists, Q-nuts, insurrectionists, white supremacist militias, facists, and tRumptarded traitors." "Kamala Harris, who actively encouraged and called for the continuation of looting and destruction of businesses, and the public harassment of conservatives?" Right wing media lies. Our Constitution provides the right for US citizens to PEACEFULLY protest against racial discrimination and black folks being murdered by police, without a judge, legal representation, nor jury. "No justice no peace." If you lived inside darker skin, then you would understand where the fault lies. BLM only wanted to exercise their rights to peacefully protest, just as MLK preached. But, their protests were undermined by white nationalist vandals, looters, and arsonists. Treat minorities with equal respect and these problems cease to exist. "Your outrage is ideologically based." I'm outraged that tRump has divided our nation, with 6 years of lies and the demonization of fellow US citizens. I'm outraged that a fascist idiot has fermented such hatred, bigotry, and lawlessness by conning naiive Evangelicals with nothing more than BS rhetoric. My only political ideology comes straight from the Founding Fathers' vision for a civil society, NOT from a notorious egotistical, silver spoon fed, lying, cheating, irresponsible, pussy-grabbing, whoremongering, tax dodging, multiple bankrupting, mafioso godfather/wannabe dictator/king of the world, who believes that he is above the law. "As long as it's your side acting like dictators and authoritarians you're ok with it." Now, you've really blown it. I'm not interested in pitting one 'side' of America against the other. Hermits are independent of society because we are independent thinkers, not sheeple. You seem to think that politics is some kind of team sport, preferably without rules of engagement, only Faux shit shows and mayhem. US vs THEM for profiteering off of viewers' ignorance. YOUR side is deliberately attempting to overthrow the US government by passing restrictive voting laws for a competitive advantage, because YOUR side is so repulsive that THEY can only win by lying and cheating. YOUR side refuses to legislate against illegal immigration, gun violence, income inequality, nor climate change. YOUR side only knows how to complain, yet refuse to allow the other side to provide legislative solutions to these serious problems, which are plaguing our nation. YOUR side wants to take away women's rights to choose their future, Social Security benefits for seniors, affordable healthcare, and affordable higher education. I believe in the Founding Father's intentions for a multiple party political system for the majority to choose and a government with checks and balances to avoid being ruled by YOUR side's wannabe authoritarian dictators and monarchs. tRumpism is the cancer of US politics, but you're so full of his propaganda and TDS that your brain has become wired bas ackwards. You need to pull your head out of tRump's ass and stop watching Faux Spews, who deliberately stir up the shitheads of society for Putin's benefit. I'm not anyone's problem. YOU are my nation's enemy from within, an anarchist, and traitor. TRUMP IS A TRAITOR! HANG HIM BY THE NECK ON PENCE'S GALLOWS!!

  1867. I'm confused. First Sgt. Maxey states that BLM has a legitimate reason to protest police injustice. Then, he says that anarchists move in to disrupt the peaceful demonstrations with violence and lawless mayhem (sounds right to me). So, that forces police to move in to restore order and they tell the protesters to go home (makes sense?). So, the situation is that the anarchists are spoiling the protesters' peaceful march, so obviously some of the peaceful protesters would confront the anarchists, creating a street riot. In the midst of that, the police (the ones being protested against for their brutality) move in an tell the protesters to go home. Would you expect BLM to obey police orders to go home during a nonviolent peaceful protest? HELL NO! So why would they be more inclined to stop fighting the anarchists during the heat of the moment? So, Sgt. Maxey changes from differentiating between peaceful BLM protesters and destructive anarchists, then he paints the entire scene with a broad brush that they are all to blame. The BLM folks should have simply said, "Okay, we'll go home now, because the people that we're protesting against are telling us to. Come on folks, we'll lay down (one more time) and let the anarchists and white supremacists win again." Duh, "What's the solution?" 'I have the authority to use force whenever people don't comply with my commands.' IMO, this is an unrealistic expectation, spoken by a white authoritarian law enforcement officer. Well, DUH. Here's a possible solution that just popped into my little mind, after a few seconds of thought: The police should have been monitoring the peaceful protest and should have detected white armed anarchists in paramilitary gear advancing into the area. Obviously, these people weren't coming to join the protest and the police should have detained them and stopped them from getting within contact of the BLM protesters. Proactive policing focused upon the actual criminals could have diffused the whole situation and avoided the looting, vandalism, burning, and 2 deaths. Why aren't the police positioned around the perimeter of the BLM protest, protecting their peaceful protest from outside agitators?

  1897.  @captgraybush2890  Sorry, but I must respectfully disagree. President Biden and the slim margins of Congressional Dems inherited a nation that was on it' knees, because of tRump's gaslighting, setting up the Afghan withdrawal, and multiple criminal conspiracies to overthrow our nation's elections, both in 2020 and 2022. They impeached tRump twice, but his 'loyalist' Republicants stood in front of the world, deflecting, denying, and defending their 'don'. The Jan 6th Committee presented an excellent case against tRump, with damning testimonies from his own inner circle, which proved criminality beyond all reasonable doubt. Biden, Pelosi, and the Congressional Dems have skillfully out maneuvered their Republicant obstructionist party every step of the way in order to pass the most aggressive, progressive, and righteous BBB agenda in recent history, with one arm of Congress tied behind their backs. That is 10years' worth of legislation and funding within 1/2 a term, because Biden knew that ge was destined to become a lame duck POTUS, based upon decades of historical precedent. Neither Dems nor their Jan 6th House Committee have the authority to hold tRump's mafia accountable to justice. That is the DoJ's job, which is entirely independent of Congress. So, the Congressional Republicants have no authority to stop that ball from investigating nor indicting tRump and his conspirators, especially this far out from 2024. That's exactly why Garland, the coward, immediately passed his hot potato to Jack Smith. Yes, Gym Jordan et al, will stage their shit-show investigations against Hunter. Biden will pardon him and proclaim Executive Immunity for himself. That will be the end of that, which will only galvanize voters against Republcans. "Republicans don't know how to drive. Everytime they take the helm, they head straight into the ditch." Meanwhile, as we're already witnessing, Biden is leading our nation out of the darkness of tRumpism, returning it to normality. Over the next 2 years, hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs will be created, the repairs of our crumbling infrastructure will be well underway, women's rights, LGTBQ rights, racial equality, and our military strengthened. All of these benefits to our society will be felt while the GQP/GOP implodes from it's own chaos. It will take a decade for them to recover from drinking their own Koolaide. With regards to the rise of the Independent party, that could only happen with ranked chioce voting in all states. Yang's moderate 'Forward Party' has a better chance, because that's where the majority of voters are. Actually, the Dems are also moderate, compared to MAGA. But they have been called "Radical left wing extremists", without rebuttals, for the past 6 years that people have started believing it. I have a lot of faith in President Biden's leadership and foresee a much brighter future because of it. Don't be so cynical! We're 'Mericans, damn it, better than this BS, and don't you forget it!

  1898.  @captgraybush2890  Let's get one thing straight from the get-go, Capt. It's not MY Dem party, I don't speak on behalf of Dems, nor do I agree with their snowflake behavior and unrealistic ideologies. I'm Mr Mainstream America, much more like you than yourself. Secondly, as my handle implies, I'm already far away from society IF the shtf. I'm not trying to push my own agenda, nor a contrarian POV, like you seem to be. I'm only discussing the cards that are already on the table. In case you didn't notice, I never even suggested that Biden should run again in 2024. He might not even live that long. I would rather see new blooded enthusiasm , like Beto O'Rourke/Pete Buttigieg (if our nation could handle a gay VP). I'm pretty sure that Dems would need a 2/3 majority to start expelling fellow Congressional members. They have played the hand that been dealt as well as possible, providing undeniable evidence, which the DoJ can't possibly ignore. It's AG Garland's DoJ that has been feckless, not the Dems, who have handed him the evidence on a silver platter. He should have taken down tRump's mob long before the midterms, instead of allowing the Q-Nuts enough leeway to take control of the House. I place ALL of the blame for what's happing upon Garland's willful ignorance of the urgency to stop tRump's train and his incompetent Big Lie 'loyalist' candidates, who have absolutely 0 governing experience. I'm very appreciative of Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, and the Jan 6th Committee for the excellent work they've done to save our nation from tRumpism. We're back to normality and back to leading the world's free nations, with great diplomacy, instead of warmongering. President Biden has only been able to achieve that through human decency and respect. What has the Independent party achieved on our behalves, except to lose elections by dividing the majority for Republicants to win? Again, I say, states need to use ranked choice elections to avoid that inevitability.

  1918. Democracy = one person, one whole vote Republic = our electors will count the votes, then grant blacks 3/5 a vote, exclude women, and then Gerrymander districts in order to cheat. IMO, Dems need to concede that the USA has NEVER been a democracy, just to stop the knee-jerk reaction among Republicans, who don't understand the difference between Democrats and democracy. They are correct that we don't have a democracy and they're even stealing our republic, now worth less than bananas. #1: VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO, just to save what still remains. Debate the details after this chaos is behind US, or there will be no debating under tRump.. Given a filibuster proof Congressional majority and Biden as POTUS, they will have the power to fix our political woes. #3: Nationwide ranked choice voting to end 3rd party election spoilers. #4: Rebalance SCOTUS to make it NON-partisan, NON-politically motivated. #5: TERM LIMITS and no under the table bribery for ALL Justices!! #6: Repeal Dobbs & codify Roe. #7: Repeal Citizens United to get corporate dark $ out of our elections. Equal campaign financing (to see which candidates can handle $ best). #8: Abolish the Electoral College over cheating and Jan 6. If they can't play fairly, then take away their balls. #9: Abolish district Gerrymandering. Equally divided populations, with equal voting power, and equal representation, regardless of land size. #9: Mandatory civics testing and diploma screening for all political candidates! THIS IS HOW TO MAGA, NOT BY BACK HANDED CHEATING!

  1969.  ColoWyo Watchman  Your ignorance of scientific, geological, and archeological proof doesn't disprove 8 billion years' worth of evolution. Time is my undeniable immortal, omnipotent god, that existed before alpha and will continue to exist after long after omega. The hands of time have controlled every second of every life that has ever lived, from determining its moment of birth, death and everything in between. Time tells us when to sleep, wake, eat, defecate, listen, speak, laugh, cry, get dressed, go to school, turn in homework, prepare for exams, graduate, find work, go on vacations, have sex, procreate, retire and die. Success is totally dependent upon being prepared and achieving goals on time. Ignoring the signs of time results in inevitable failure. Time is undeniable, yet oblivious to humanity. Pray to it if you need and you will get exactly the same answers as from an imaginary Jehovah, Jah, or whatever label you stick on him/her/it. You seek truth and universal law? Sure, sit right down and STFU. The only universal law is the constant struggle for balance between the opposing forces of Yin and Yang. For everything that exists, there is an opposite. It exists in everything from the tiniest hydrogen atom to the solar systems of the universe. Time also controls the atomic wavelengths between positive and negative frequencies, as well as the balances between inertia of moving mass vs centrifugal forces and gravitational attraction. You think you know my mind enough to control it, Jesus Freak?

  1981.  @georgemaximus694  That's a lot to unpack, but I fully agree with most of your points. Yes, the economical divide is ridiculous, considering the excessive wealth of our nation. As Bernie says, just a few pennies more taxes upon the top 5% could alleviate a 'uge amount of hunger and suffering by low income families. The 5% wouldn't even notice the difference. It's immoral. The happiest countries on the planet are the social democracies of Sweden, Norway, & Denmark. Yes, they pay slightly higher taxes, but everyone gets higher education, healthcare, and reasonably priced housing and food. IOW, no one is struggling to get by and crimes are practically nonexistent. Yet Republicans criticize them as being 'socialists'. Computers guide Wall Street traders and hedge fund managers to accumulate $billions. What benefit are they to society? Half of them can't even tie their own shoes, much less produce something. Computerized robots and AI are replacing hundreds of thousands of workers. Online shopping is replacing local mom and pop businesses. Whiz kid programmers can spend a month pumping out apps that make $millions on the Internet. Every click we make is tracked in order to target us for unwanted marketing ads. Someone gets a cut on every YT video we watch. Our entire economic foundation has dramatically shifted over the past 10 years. Soon, most manufacturing will be done at home by 3D printers. Hell, they're even 3D printing beef free steaks and entire houses, ffs! The average hard working Joe doesn't have a chance to compete anymore. Too many people are being left behind. Something's gotta give.

  1982.  @kurtisboyd  No, I'm not joking and every word that I've stated is true. You're still living in the pre-tRump past, before he hijacked the GOP and whipped them into the current anti-government GQP. Now, partisanship is either patriotism or authoritarian anarchy. "Dems and GOP have an equal amount of blood on their hands due to their lax oversight and close ties to Wall St." Bush was asleep at the helm in 2007. Obama had to save the banking industry from right wing deregulations, their decades long mantra. He put Warren in charge of a Wall Street oversight commission and handed tRump a healthy economy. Then tRump dismantled it, just like he did with ICE. "The Fed bailed out foreign banks with TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in 2019… The Fed. Not Trump." The year was 2020, during tRump's term. Congress had passed a COVID relief bill, intended for laid off workers, for families to avoid evictions, and small business subsidies during their shutdowns. When the don signed the bill, the godfather also overstepped his authority by adding side notations and caveats. Dems knew that tRump couldn't be trusted, so they had appointed an Inspector General to oversee the distributions of those funds. tRump immediately fired that oversight officer and put Mnu(no)chin in charge of distributing the funds. Mnuchin handed out $Billions to his corporate cronies, like it was Halloween candy. Then the Dems exposed tRump's misappropriations of funds and they were asked to return the $that they didn't need, just to keep the administration out of trouble. Please stop with the Russian propaganda, claiming that both sides of our government are equally corrupt. That's like stating that mice and elephants are equal. tRump's GQP conspirators only want to tear down and undermine our democracy for their 'chosen' furor and Putin's obvious puppet. both are blatant mafia. The Dems are the only ones who have the decency to stand against tRumpism and his corrupt right wing extremists state legislatures, who are deliberately breaking a fair, election system that has been proven to be free from fraud. The GQP even attempted to replace electors with phonies, just to cheat for their godfather tRump. I suggest that you start paying closer attention to our government and stay away from Tuckins, Hannity, and Faux Spews. If you want to know the truth, then get from the same source as MSM, BEFORE they put their spin on it to appease their audiences. That source is Jen Psaki's official White House Press Briefings, a couple of days every week. Forget the pundits' rhetoric and soothsaying of our future. Most of them don't have a clue.

  1986. The 'godfather' summoned all of the Congressional Republicans into the Oval Office as soon as he arrived. Trump understands that 'every an has his price' and has the resources to pay it. Obviously, he gave them an offer they couldn't refuse. His 'embrace' sealed their oath of allegiance to him, above party and nation. That's why he has absolute control over the Senate and House Republicans. Woe to anyone who breaks their vow by not holding the Trump Party line. Yes, I said Trump Party because he owns the Republicans. This is the only possible explanation for their shameless behavior throughout the impeachment proceedings. This is also the only explanation of McConnell's public statement that he would follow the White House counsel's guidance and that there is 0 chance of impeachment passing the Senate. This is illegal and unconstitutional. After the backlash of a failed impeachment, Trump will win the election, Dems will lose the House and a vindicated Trump will be unstoppable. Within only 4 years, Trump and his motley mob of Cabinet henchmen will have successfully conducted a coup against our democracy, without firing a shot. He has already floated ending term limits and is poised to become America's first dictator. Of course, his ego would prefer the title of 'King of the World.' Then, his heirs in waiting could inherit his 'kingdom'. Bada-bing. Just like that. You think I'm crazy? Who's gonna stop him? His only check on power is the Dem controlled House and they have already failed, simply because everyone dismissed it as only a hyper-partisanship. Guess again. Tick-tock.......(crickets chirping)

  2029. @Roland D IMO, the GQP has overplayed its hand and is only left with lies (to energize their base), obstruction (to deny Dems' progress), and bluff (big talk w/o action). Their only 'policy' is pandering to wealthy donors with failed 'trickle down', aka tinkle on Reagonomics. Their loyalty to the NRA has resulted in excessive gun ownership, anarchist militias, and over 30,000 needless gun deaths every year. Whenever someone disagrees, just grab your gun and bully them into submission, just like the heroes of old wild wild westerns, broadcast to every home, every afternoon. Never mind the violent graphic computer games that have become our children's baby sitters, with dopamine rush rewards for the highest kill scores. (I digress) Republicants waste more on ME wars than their tax revenues generate, which has blown our annual budget and the national debt has blown through the non-existent ceiling. They have absolutely no intention of addressing climate change, nor supporting sustainable energy, a smart grid, nor e-vehicles. They are blatant racists against Asians, Blacks, Latinos, and Muslims. It betrays Constitutional truths that are 'self evident'. So their white evangelical base is dwindling into radicalized right wing white supremacists. Yes, our infantile capitalism has only produced a huge economic gap between the astronautical (literally), computer aided wealthy and disenfranchised, under educated unemployed. IMO, President Biden has the most comprehensive policies in recent history to put our nation back on the right track. But, they require bipartisanship. He keeps trying to negotiate across the aisle, only to be rejected. Yes, the filibuster as been abused and must be eliminated. The majority of sensible US voters need show up at the polling stations and get the GQP out of governance. "Republicans can't drive. Every time they get behind the wheel, they head straight for the ditch." -Barack Obama

  2048. NONE of that is true. EVERY Republicant STILL pushes failed Reaganomics for decades, which has only underfunded our government in exchange for political donations from billionaire dark money super PACs, since Citizens United. Clinton handed Bush a balanced budget. So, Bush blew a hole in it with more tax breaks to the filthy rich and Middle East wars, based upon lies of WMDs. He let Bin Laden slip through his fingers, then scapegoated the Taliban to start another 20 year war, which devolved into BS nation building. Obama/Biden had to bail out unregulated hedge funds. So, an oversight commission was created with Liz Warren as its head. Then, tRump dismantled it, so now were seeing under regulated banks failing. Families were losing their homes, over healthcare costs, when Obama/Biden took office. So, they provided ACA, which Republicans have been trring to repeal ever since. Romney said, "Let he auto industry fail." But Obama/Biden bailed them out and now they're strong, after paying off their government loans. tRump gave his billionaire cronies a $2 Tillion tax break, which they didn't need and only invested it back into their own stocks. Nothing trickled down to the poor folks. Now, BECAUSE OF DECADES WORTH OF FAILED REPUBLICAN POLICIES we have ended up with $32 Trillion national debt. President Biden has reduced federal spending by $1.2 Trillion within only 1/2 a term, during pandemic shutdowns and the war in Ukraine. WE ARE NOT DOOMED UNDER HIS LEDERSHIP. THE WORLD IS DOOMED IF REPUBLICANS ARE IN POWER.

  2071.  @sademccall6838  Please save your breath. I grew up hearing that same sort of man's twisted preaching and brainwashing. Every person is an individual who was born without sin. Good is only the opposition of bad, yin and yang, on whatever level you like. Good and bad are mere judgments, based upon one's personal opinion, which is based upon social acceptance within a community. We don't share the same communities, so our definitions of good and bad probably differ. A gun could be good or bad, depending upon the situation and intentions of its holder. I digress. No one deserves death (except mass murderers, as a deterrent). Who told you that and why would you even think that way? Death s only the end of life's cycle, nothing more nothing less. Finito. Nada mass. Santa Claus doesn't exist, Child. There's no reward for being nice at the end of life's season. There's no eternal punishment for living a naughty life. It's all just a fairy tale to condition young minds and instill moral values. But, it's just make believe, with no physical scientific evidence. sorry to be the one to burst your bubble, but your faith is jeopardizing over 8 billion years of the only known instance of natural evolution in the universe. Believe whatever you want, but don't throw away life, just because of some insane hallucinogenic dream 2000 years ago. They're nothing special. Millions of people have experienced such nightmares that your faith has selected as gospel from your imaginary god. Don't doom mankind over nothing but misguided faith.

  2096. Civil War II? Who is going to shoot whom? Should I, a peace-loving old hippie, go out and purchase an AK-47, with 10,000 rounds and several large magazines, to defend myself from my Trumptarded gunhead neighbors? Should I strike first, because I'm already outnumbered?Who are the evil traitors and who are the true patriots fighting for our democratic republican freedoms? Trump is an out of control mob boss, who has thumbed his nose at our Constitution and Congressional oversight. He literally believes that he is above the law and has demonstrated an absolute stranglehold over the Republican party. Trump is an irresponsible bully, who gives everyone gangsta nicknames and brutally punishes anyone who opposes him. He rules by intimidation and everyone around him hates him. All along, to this very minute, Trump's self-appointed Cabinet (mob) of henchmen are plotting a coup upon our nation. Trump has already suggested the elimination of term limits (blatantly illustrated in his recent tweet, with him campaigning into 2048) and has his heirs poised to inherit his crown and kingdom, aka USA. If re-elected, Trump will become our 1st dictator or, as he fantasizes, the biggliest King of the World in history. Every day, the MSM provide Trump with 24/7 free publicity by broadcasting his propaganda. Therefore only a media mogul, like Mike Bloomberg, is capable of defeating Trump with millions of dollars’ worth of counter messaging ads. IMO, Mike Bloomberg is our only hope of saving our democratic republic against Trump's tyranny. Mike Bloomberg is literally spending a fortune out of his own pocket to save our nation from a lying, cheating, corrupt traitor. This also means that Mike won't be pulled off his platform by some special interest or PAC donations. His own words are his only bond. BTW, Bloomberg's anti-Trump ads will run up until the November election, even if he is not the Dems' nominee. IOW, those ads benefit all Dem candidates. How generous is that? They should be thanking Mike, instead of demonizing him with accusations of him trying to buy the election. He's only buying ads, just as others are. He is running upon his own integrity. May the best candidate win the nomination and election. Furthermore, Bloomberg only entered the race because none of the field has a chance in hell of defeating Trump (including Sanders). Even after giving his rivals a 3 month head start and 4 state handicap, Bloomberg's poll numbers are skyrocketing. We are supposed to be One Nation, Indivisible, of the People, by the People, and for the People. Please support our nation's only hope for survival.🙏 mikebloomberg.com

  2098. Democrats are such sycophants, eating their own kind. DNC corruption continues to help Republicans to get elected, due to shear voter disillusionment with the process. "What's the point of voting, when our votes don't count?" They simply never learn from their own mistakes. Meanwhile, Trump is an out of control mob boss, who has thumbed his nose at our Constitution and Congressional oversight. He literally believes that he is above the law and has demonstrated an absolute stranglehold over the Republican party. Trump is an irresponsible bully, who gives everyone gangsta nicknames and brutally punishes anyone who opposes him. He rules by intimidation and everyone around him hates him. All along, to this very minute, Trump's self-appointed Cabinet (mob) of henchmen are plotting a coup d’état upon our nation. Trump has suggested the elimination of term limits (blatantly illustrated in his recent tweet, with him campaigning into 2048) and his heirs are poised to inherit his crown and kingdom, aka USA. If re-elected, Trump will become our 1st dictator or, as he fantasizes, the biggliest King of the World in history. Every day, the MSM provide Trump with 24/7 free publicity by broadcasting his propaganda. Therefore, only a media mogul, like Mike Bloomberg, is capable of defeating Trump with millions of dollars’ worth of counter messaging ads.

  2153.  fallingFrom 10kfeet  Yeah, I followed your search and watched all 21 minutes of the 2019 content, with only 638 views. smh 1: Cenk Uygur of TYT, decided to create his own brainchild caucus to recruit dynamic, small donor progressives away from the 'Hillary' loser Democratic party to start the 'Justice Democrat' Party (which no one but you has ever heard of since). So, he hired an ad company to promote the chosen 'recruits'. AOC was their shining star. 2: @ 12:20, the female member stated that AOC wrote her own narration for her very successful 2016 campaign ad that was so popular that she won the HoR seat. 3: @16:30, during AOC's diner meeting with the ad company, she informs them that she had been live streaming her life's story since 2016, prior to ever meeting any of TYT's people. Later on, the female repeats all of AOC's goals, as if it was their Justice Democrats' own agenda.(rip-offs) 4: @ 18:58, Cenk introduces the first guy as being AOC's Chief of Staff. IOW, he works for AOC, not visa versa. Conclusion: TYTs and their ad people had nothing to do with AOC's fame and political success, because she had already won her HoR seat in 2016 all by herself. They were only hanging onto her coat tails, like groupies. Cenk's illusion of grandeur, aka Justice Democrats was nothing more than his overly inflated pipe dream that went nowhere. Now, TYT is nothing more than another YT political pundit show, which are a dime a dozen. Meanwhile, AOC out grew them and moved on, leaving them eating her dust. After her 1st term, AOC succeeded in being re-elected and has become one of the most influential Democrats in Congress. I'm afraid that you were only taken in by the TYT's own arrogant account of their little tale wagging AOC's fierce Chihuahua. Why are you going to such lengths, trying to diminish AOC's skyrocketing into prominence within the Democratic party? She is clearly a self made woman. The least you could do is give credit where credit is due. Finally, a 'casting call' is when a production company summons selected actors into their studio to audition for a part in a movie. Hence, the proverbial 'casting couch' cliche'. It is a completely inaccurate use of the term in this scenario.

  2253. While I agree with what you've laid out, tRump has his own narcissistic plans: tRump has already hijacked the GOP with radicalized GQP 'loyalists'. tRump is threatening to fund his loyalists' midterm campaigns unless the R incumbents support his Big Lie. So, he still has his 'R' Congressmen by their balls. tRump's Big Lie has already created sufficient doubts that red states are giving themselves the power to overthrow future election results. So, why is tRump attacking members of the Republican party? tRump has NEVER been interested in political agendas, unless they serve his agenda. He is notorious for donating to both parties, just to clear the paths for approving his personal construction projects. I've been able to read tRump liks an open book. He's like a bad poker player, who can't resist showing off his hand to spectators, before making his move. Now, I predict that tRump will announce the launch of his own 3rd political party, by next spring. That will peel off ~70% of the republican voters + ~50% of Independents. tRump already has 90% control over the current 'R' Congressmen, so those cowards will defect like Afghan's security forces to the Taliban. If the GQP succeeds in taking Congress next year, Biden becomes a lame duck and our democratic republic is doomed. All of the above gives tRump all the power he needs to complete his dream of becoming the 1st dictator in US history, unless the DoJ holds him accountable and begins prosecution. At that point, tRump flees into exile, under Putin's protection. "What will happen, if Joe Biden wins the election? Will I need to move to another country?" Like I said, tRump always broadcsts his intentions, then judges the reactions. He also wanted to get rid of Presidential term limits. That's how dictators and monarchs hold onto power. Speaking of monarchs, the wannabe King of the World intentionally positioned his heirs to inherit his throne. He has 'love affairs' with the world's worst dictators, with aspirations of becoming a member, then their master. The man has no concept of his own limitations. Please stay vigilant and pay attention, Folks Our nation is in grave danger.

  2266.  @charlesscott27  What is wrong with you? You have already equated our troops to Nazis. Now, you equate them to lawless mafioso mobsters and gangbangers. Why must you insist upon disparaging our soldiers, who defeated Hitler's Nazis in WWII. I didn't agree with the Vietnam war, but everyone believed that it was intended to protect that region from the communist Chinese invasion. Saddam Hussein was using chemical weapons to conduct genocide against his own people and that's why Congress passed the War Powers Act, which allowed Bush/Cheney to invade Iraq, based upon their lies regarding WMDs. But, our military didn't know about their lies until after the fact when WMDs were never found. Our troops have always believed that they were fighting for honorable reasons. So, you comparisons are false. But, let's examine your mafioso charge. Trump has behaved like a mafioso godfather ever since he took office. His first act was to summon every Republican congressman into the Oval Office to give them "an offer they could not refuse", so they pledged their allegiance to him over our nation. This was blatantly demonstrated during Trump's impeachment hearings and trial, when every one of them lied to the American public on national TV. Then, there's all of those gangsta names that Trump assigns to his foes. There was the shake down extortion attempt against Velinski, to withhold military support from the Ukraine during Russia's invasion, in exchange for a fake news story about Biden being under investigation. "She's going to go through some bad things." That was another mafioso veiled threat against one of our ambassadors for exposing Trump's extortion attempt. There are several books out from eye witnesses to Trump's corruption, if you can read.

  2387. "Stay at home orders is like house arrest" "apart from slavery...it's the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history" NO! 200,000 have already died; staying at home and wearing masks are people's only defense. They should be voluntary for anyone with an ounce of common sense. It's a public health issue, not an intrusion upon civil liberty. Exposing others is 'willful homicide'. "BLM uses a small number of killings of blacks by police, usually less than a dozen a year, during conflicts as props" Fact: 250 blacks were killed by police in 2019 "What do you mean by 'interfere'? All prosecutory power is vested in the Attorney General." IOW, Barr believes that he is American's one man justice system; capable of interfering in court cases, freeing convicted criminals, and assembling his personal illegal secret militia of unidentifiable storm troopers. BARR IS THE LAW, who enabled Trump to be above the law! IOW, Trump is America's 1st dictator and Barr is Trump's head of the SS.😒 This is un-American, by definition. Thousands of our soldiers died in Europe to stop Hitler's ruthless reign of terror. Patriotic Generals and Republicans are standing against this regime, warning all Americans of how close we are to the slippery slope of Fascism. Yet, we see ~300 heavily armed, right-wing militias willing to defend Trump, while ignorantly waving Old Glory. NO TRUE PATRIOT CAN SUPPORT TRUMP'S RE-ELECTION/COUP D'ETAT! TRUMP IS A TRAITOR AND SO IS ANYONE WHO VOTES FOR HIM!🐀

  2432.  @bobgriffith1810  Do you support killing and eating animals? Humans are only animals, so what's the difference? Oh, the soul, eh? Now, your argument is based upon your personal religious beliefs, isn't it? According to the 1st Amendment, no laws shall be made, based upon religion. That was the basis of Roe v Wade. So, that's the law and you can stop forcing your religion upon a woman's legal right to choose whether to bring another life into this world. No doubt, you are also against birth control pills. So, you want force women to get pregnant, as well as to have the child. Oh, so abstinence is your answer. Then, you intend to lock up all teenage girls until they are 18 and married? That's illegal too. Besides, how would they go to school? Your assertions would only result in back street abortions, putting children in orphanages, and keeping women at home, barefoot and pregnant, unable to work and support themselves. Don't know what the 54 and counting refers to. But, your shortsightedness and hypocrisy is self-evident. I've already disputed your misguided BS about the BLM movement being leftists or the cause of riots. They are practicing their 1st Amendment rights to peaceful protest against police brutality and recorded murders of their community. Your anarchist boogaloo boys and right-wing white supremacists are the villains, rioters, and arsonists who arrive at the BLM protests, fully armed, carrying Molotov cocktails. If you are going to spew your shit in my direction, you had better have better ammo than Trump's lies.

  2436. I've dabbled with most drugs, except for heroine or anything involving needles. While touring with bands, we called speed 'snarling crystals'. Cocaine was over priced and over rated, IMO. Friends on downers and glue sniffers seemed pathetic. Never liked being around loud obnoxious drunks. So, pot was my choice of vices. Warned my niece to stay away from crack, then she overdosed in her early 20's, with a baby. "Different strokes for different folks." @ 71 years old, I would love to have another trip on LSD, not because I'm addicted, but because of the therapeutic benefits of 'clearing the cobwebs' of the mind. TBH, I'd have a go at DMT, if I knew that it wasn't laced with Fentanyl. I used to enjoy 'shrooms, until one day I realized that one can poison the mind into a delirious state of bliss. That was my last. There's 1/2 a bottle of post-op Percocet that's been sitting i my fridge for 5 years, just in case I have a bad back injury. I've been a daily user of marijuana for 50 years and vape 80% THC concentrate and my tolerance is so high that I don't even cop a buzz anymore. Now, I often go hours before realizing, "Oh yeah. There's my vaporizer that I haven't used yet today." I have Kahlua with my morning coffee and a glass of wine with dinner, not because I need it, but because that my standard of lifestyle. But, tobacco was a different story. I smoked a pack every day, until 2002, when a co-worker gifted me a pack of Camel Turkish Jade, which triggered rheumatoid arthritis. Then, all tobacco would cause crippling joint pain. I enjoyed smoking tobacco and tried Swisher Sweets, cigars, pipe tobacco, everything before realizing that the pain wasn't worth the pleasure. But, I still had the cravings, especially while around other smokers or while drinking. So, I would beg others for just one cigarette. 20 years later, my tobacco cravings are finally over. Good riddance. JS

  2485. Emma is obviously a biased Bernie supporter, who is only parroting DNC lies about Bloomberg's track record. Bernie has rekindled the ideological hippie movement of the 1960s. But, although I have always agreed with those values, Bernie's movement is too far left for the majority of voters, so it is not a viable political platform. Trump will decimate Bernie's campaign with propaganda (see link below). The truth about Bloomberg can easily be found at Wikipedia. Just Google 'Mike Bloomberg', then click their bio link. Please check the facts for yourself.🙏 Bloomberg has been a Democrat most of his life, but was forced to run as a Republican for one term, solely because the DNC rejected his campaign. Then, he moved back to being an Independent and finally a Democrat. Mike has funded numerous Democratic campaigns throughout states and the Congress, including Nancy Pelosi's. So, Trump's impeachment never would have happened without him. Furthermore, all of Bloomberg's policies are in line with the Democratic party. Most of his income is spent upon helping mankind and the planet, including funding America's unpaid portion of the Paris Climate Accord and converting coal fired power plants to clean burning natural gas. But, here's the real kicker that Emma is ignoring: "The Trump campaign machine known as the "death star" is already in action. " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YjcsUNf1dU&t=23s When that hits the fan, Bloomberg will be the only Dem candidate still standing. So, pick your billionaire, folks. Either the traitor attempting a coup d'etat to become King of the World, OR the true patriot putting the future our nation's democracy above his own personal wealth.

  2537.  @beckycastile6896  Yes, you're entitled to your opinion and yes everyone has one, just like the old saying goes. But, when you don't believe anything from anyone, it sounds like you don't trust your own elected government officials, so what's the point of paying attention or voting at all. That's where I must beg to differ. If we don't pay attention, then we are only being ignorant and won't know which candidates are worth voting for, so what's the point, right? IMO, ignorant shouldn't vote, because that's how we ended up with tRump. Furthermore, ignorant people who don't vote have no right to complain about their politicians and government, right? IOW, if anyone is complaining, then they should know all of the facts before complaining and should have made the effort to have their opinions counted at the ballot box. Otherwise, they are only pulling opinions our of their backsides and undermining their own government after effectively saying, I don't care which leaders the majority chooses. I used to be one of those politically ignorant people, until I heard a very impressive candidate speak with truth, clarity of thought, and I agreed with nearly everything he said. He ended up saving our economy and made a significant difference in people's lives. Yet, some of the MSM and other politicians lied about who he was. So, I started paying attention and became actively involved in my own small way. So, here I am, trying my best to counter lies and deception. Many attack me and try to stick labels all over me, as if to stick me inside a limited pigeonhole. But, I refuse to let them and say that I'm a patriotic US citizen, just like the majority of US citizens. Then SOMETIMES, we get into debating the problems, instead of each other. Our leaders are not from some remote planet; they are only a reflection of ourselves. We hire and fire them at the ballot box. Would you hire an employee without an interview? Would you not check their references to ensure that they are being honest with you, before giving them the keys to your cash register? Or would you ignore the details, allow yourself to be burned, then trust no one. I don't want to live in a country with corrupt leaders, working for themselves, instead of for We the People. Best regards, Betty. Please stay safe and help to keep others safe by making sure that you and your loved ones are fully vaccinated. 😎

  2581. @maodmifcnr I'm very aware of the fact that Taiwan wants independence from China and have great empathy for their endeavor. I would feel exactly the same, if in their shoes. I am also very aware of the current bilateral 'One China' policy that has avoided volatile military conflicts between Taiwan, China, and the US. Many Texans want to secede from the US, as well. Does that satisfy your criteria for equivalencies? Should China send their military into Texas to interfere in US domestic matters of sovereignty? Of course not, because head-to head confrontations between the world's most powerful nuclear militaries must be avoided, above all else. As Xi stated, neither should interfere in the other's domestic problems. The self inflicted US dependency upon Taiwan's IC manufacturing and our exploitation of their cheap labor force is the only reason the US is interested in protecting its independence from China, not for humanitarian rights. If China invaded Taiwan, our auto industry would collapse as well as our military industrial complex, which would jeopardize our national security. Xi and Biden both know the stakes, which has nothing to do with human rights of Taiwan's population. The US has simply been lulled into this dangerous situation out of corporate greed. Fortunately, President Biden has been negotiating alternative supply chains in SE Asian countries, as well as providing incentives for US manufacturing to return within our own shores. IMO, President Biden is the best POTUS we have had in 1/2 a century, by addressing the root of our problems and the incredible challenges that lay ahead for future generations. Meanwhile, across the political divide, Q-nuts are only interested in sabotaging his efforts on behalf of a traitor.

  2583. @maodmifcnrGoogle 'china sea' in lower case. It is capitalized because it is a formal place on every map, named as such because China owns it's eastern coastline and the sea beyond, traditionally speaking. Taiwan owns its coastline, as well. But, there is an international shipping route in between, of which the US navy patrols primarily to protect our national interest of maintaining trade with Taiwan. Of course, Taiwan is asking for our military to protect them. So is Ukraine, but Congressional Q-nuts are cutting off the aide that President Biden has promised. What are you expecting him to do, take on China's military and start WW III, simply because Taiwan is asking US to? Get real... China has 3 times our population, and multiple times our our numbers of troops, plus hypersonic terrain guided missiles that we have no defenses against. Plus, Taiwan is on China's doorstep for immediate reinforcements of weaponry. Xi could take out Taiwan with nothing more than a nod, leaving US without supplies of semiconductors for our military. Instead of arguing from your posterior, I suggest that you do some research of Chinese history. You will learn that the Taiwanese were once Chinese citizens, who tried to rebel against the Chinese government, lost that battle, then were exiled into isolation on the island of Taiwan. The UK did the same by sending their malcontents into isolation in Australia, no offense to our fellow Aussie 'colonials'. JS As far as I'm concerned. personally, none if this Taiwan situation would be any of our business, had we made it our business to keep IC manufacturing in the USA, instead of exploiting foreign workers. There are racial and inhumane atrocities throughout the world, including within our own nation. We should be tending to own social injustices, before imposing our hypocritical standards upon other nations.

  2600.  @michaelblankenau6598  Second thought, I'm not through with you, so I've returned to explain myself, specifically to address your own ignorance of wordsmith, using colorful colloquialisms for communicative effect, providing some humorous innuendo to the exchange, spanning cultural boundaries. Proper English grammar only indicates a privileged, educated person, who conforms to discipline; an indoctrinated do-gooder, who is 'better' than others... obviously insecure by making a point of correcting others; a tight-assed know-it-all, who does everything properly, in order to be a 'success', not on your own terms, but society's. I've traveled the world and experiences many cultures, who don't speak proper English, but would have missed out by staying inside a hotel room, instead of being amused by how others butcher the English language. How ironic that an old hermit needs to teach social skills to some college preppie. Surprise! Surprise, Sarge! I'm not only a hermit, TheOleHermit is my online persona, the descendant of Amos McCoy, Yosemite Sam, and Gabby Hayes, mostly triggering, insulting, and shaming tRumptarded traitors. it's a matter of patriotic defense of our country... a daily keyboard warrior, asa matter of fact. Get it? "If ya jus' give 'em a quick, short sharp shock, then they won't do it anymore. Can ya dig it? I man good manners don't cost nuttin, do they" Us & Them, Pink Floyd. No charge. Just loosen TF up and allow others to be themselves. You have no authority on this global social media platform.

  2601.  @mikeinprague  "I certainly was in the right. Yeah, he was cruisin' for a bruisin'..." - more Floyd lyrics. But any arse can criticize how others express themselves, Sir. Perhaps that person actually is 10 years old and only homeschooled. Did you consider that before making such a stink? Brits can precisely identify the origins of their countrymen by their different accents. Some are difficult to understand as English. Are they wrong or simply being themselves? I haven't had an English grammar class in 60 years and am fully aware of my imperfect punctuation. BFD. This 72 year old ain't goin' back to grade school. But, I'm developing a laser synth PCB in Kicad, thanks to YouTube U. What gives you the authority to be YT's grammar police, from the get-go? Weaponizing your higher education to put down the less fortunate, instead of lifting folks up, are we? Your arrogance is still on display and this trivial pursuit has achieved nothing more than distract from the subject matter. Hell, I don't even remember the context in which that person used 'could of'. Isn't that more expressively entertaining than, "Oh my. I seem to have forgotten that person's point." 'ere 'n Merica, we gots a fing called 'freedom of speech', of which I fully exercise, any damned way I please. Your opinion is irrelevant and has caused more trouble on this thread than your couple of sentences were worth. Languages change over time. Slang is everywhere. Sick = great. Kids don't use full keyboards, so the resort to minimizing characters, 'UR' vs 'you are'. now, I more important fish to fry (important matters to attend to). I hope this exchange has made you more introspective and mindful of how you're words of grammatical perfection are perceived by others on the receiving end. Yes you are correct, while still behaving with errors. No one is perfect. Some of us are deliberately not, just to spite authoritarians. Your demeaning efforts to educate the world are futile. Been real.... 💨💨💨💨

  2612. I'm running mine inside a heatsink/case with dual mini 1" fans. It runs a little warmer ~45 deg @ idle, but Chris' ./temp_test.sh only maxes it out ~63 deg, still well below throttling temp. My Pi4 had a similar M.2 SSD in a USB3.1 adapter case as the one Chris replaced. But, I didn't like the clutter mounted on the back of my 7" touchscreen. So last night I replaced the 512 GB Transcend SSD with a 512 GB Sandisk USB3.1 drive that only protrudes 10 mm out of the port. After copying the SSD onto the USB3.1 drive, I was pleasantly surprised that it seemed to run just as well as the SSD, including the playback of everyone's favorite YT channel @ 1080p w/o a hiccup. Woohoo! But, then I saw this video and ran Chris' hdparm command. The Sandisk drive returned an error: SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb [ ] APT: Unsupported device But, then it reported only 62 MB/s (bummer) On the other hand, the Transcend SSD reported ~240 MB/s (only 2/3 of Chris' results). I still prefer the small discreet USB drive, so I'll give the Sandisk a good thrashing to determine it's usability limitations, but so far so good. Perhaps the low MB/s reported was related to the error msg, but doesn't affect performance in the 'real world'. So, if you are looking for a very small, compact solution, this might be an option and the data useful for you to know. :-) UPDATE: Although the Sandisk USB 3.1 flash drive is specified @ 130 MB/s write speed, several other buyers have also written reviews complaining about only getting ~64 MB/s, similar to my results. IOW, the Sandisk does not meet it's claims. Also, there are other USB 3.1 flash drives, which tout 300 MB/s. :-(

  2637. Here we go again, with Gergen drawing parallelisms between tRump and Biden, one a traitor compared to a life long public servant. Biden only returned from his retirement to the political arena to "save the soul of our nation against another term of tRumpism." None of the younger Dem candidates stood a chance against tRump's demeaning rhetoric. Stop kicking the old man, who is saving our democratic republic. He is doing a fantastic job despite 100% opposition from tRump's Congressional GQP anarchists and seditious conspirators. I'm 70 and, yes I've lost a 'few steps' over the years, but my additional experiences, maturity, understanding of youthful ambitions, and consistent moral standards haven't made my judgements less accurate, but all the more credible. I simply take a little more time to consider other POVs first, instead of trying to quickly 'shoot from the hip', which is far less reliable. Young folks have personal goals for success as priorities. Older folks have grown beyond those selfish motivations and are more concerned with leaving behind legacies of a better world for future generations. President Biden's agenda is just as progressive as any young 'whipper-snapper's', but he is a seasoned professional who understands how to compromise and move legislation forward, regardless of 100% opposition from across the aisle. BBB is the perfect example. I'd vote for a patriotic, seasoned public servant over an inexperienced, ideological, tRumptarded 'loyalist' Q-nut traitor/anarchist/white supremacist/authoritarian/neo-nazi any day of the week, until the last nail is in his/her coffin. For that matter, what's the difference between a dead Dem and a do-nothing GQP Congressional obstructionist? A salary from taxpayers.

  2648. "What can be done" to stop far right extremist rhetoric, anti-American white supremacist social media propaganda that is ripping our nation apart and killing innocent people? I'm online every single day, confronting those anarchistic enemies within and countering their lies with truth and Constitutional reminders. I'm here fighting their hate speech with my own speeches of hatred against TDS infected, weak-minded, tRumptarded traitors, the cult following of the notorious life-long lying, cheating, whoremongering, mafioso godfather don/wannabe dictator/king of the world/traitor tRump. It's a matter of yin vs yang, opposing forces pulling the mainstream status quo; to and fro, left vs right, truth vs Faux lies. Messaging on social media has become weaponized by foreign enemies' troll farms, mal-contented opinionated authoritarian anarchists, and under-educated idiots who seriously believe they know more than scientists and scholars. These radicalized idiots are the ones who are replacing seasoned leaders with incompetent rebel rousers, just to throw wrenches into the gears of governance. The consequences don't matter, as long as our government is rendered dysfunctional, then they're happy to believe that they've won something. I deliberately shame these traitors, call them out for their ignorance and remind them of how they are the insignificant minority of losers, as well as how REAL patriots feel about traitors. I invite them to come and get one of their beloved's golden showers. "Evil thrives when good men do nothing." I'm sick of 6 years worth of tRump's constant drumming of anti-Dem demonization, without being challenged by good decent US citizens, who simply go along to get along. No fight is ever won by passively taking punches. Freedom of speech, Folks. Use it to defend our nation before we lose both... in less than 2 weeks!

  2652. Republicans always justify their warmongering as defending freedom. But, the whole world knew that 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' was all about the control of huge Arabian oil reserves. @6:00 "TSMC manufactures 90% of the supply of the world's advanced semiconductor chips. If China invades or breaks this, then we're in a world of hurt, globally.." IOW, it has nothing to do with Taiwan's freedom and everything to do with protecting our own supply chain, that has foolishly been allowed to relocate from US to China, over the past 1/2 century, just to exploit Chinese laborers, while ignorantly funding China's military industrial complex. @6:10 "I think it's about democracy and freedom" BFS!! Blinken keeps claiming that the One China agreement hasn't changed, yet we are poking the dragon with US military escalations in the region and conducting negotiations to provide Taiwan with our most advanced weaponry, obviously for it to become autonomous and independent from China. China already has US in mate and is inevitably only one move from checkmate. We have no way of stopping China. Attempting to do so is futile only accelerates our own demise, as well as Taiwan's. China's military is far greater and more effective than Russia's. Taiwan is NOT Ukraine, surrounded by NATO. Sabre rattling against China and insulting Xi, as tRump did, is foolish. Committing resources to control trade routes throughout China's Sea is a fool's folly, doomed to a disastrous outcome. Imagine how the US would respond to China's warships conducting military exercises off the coast of California. None of this mess would be happening, if 'free enterprise' corporations hadn't been so greedy and had stayed in America, instead of signing away their own IP for maximum short term profits. /smh

  2747. I've been thinking, "Cool! The more extreme MAGA behaves, the more likely that Dems will take Congress in 2024, with a filibuster majority to stop the BS." But, now I'm thinking that there is a reason that the Republican party would be so blatantly obvious with their political corruption. We already witnessed how they attempted to replace the Electoral votes, with Navarro's 'Green Bay sweep'. But, that failed attempt was too little, too late. But, not for 2024. I believe that red states are stacking their decks with their own biased electors to overthrow the popular votes in 2024. A cheating card shark, with a marked deck will go all in and place their entire nest egg on the game, knowing that they can't lose. IMO, that's the same behavior on display within tRump's hijacked, corrupted GQP, all up and down the ballot. We are no longer a sparsely populated nation of remotely located pioneers and settlers, out of touch with our government. So, the Electoral college is obsolete and has become a flawed, now corrupt means to steal elections away from the popular votes of We the People. I've recently noticed Republicans arguing that the USA is NOT a democracy, "it is a Constitutional Republic." In other words, they believe in the power of the few over the power of the popular majority. We have all witnessed 20 House Q-nut tRump 'loyalist' political idiots sabotaging the people's House, kowtowing McCarthy, and threatening to take his gavel away, with a single vote, unless he grants them positions of power in key committees. We have also witnessed Gym Jordan's shit shows and judicial overreach attempting to obstruct NYC's prosecution of the mafioso don, who nearly every Congressional Republican pledged an oath of allegiance to serve. The same corruption has spread like a pandemic down every ballot into state legislatures. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE MUST BE ELIMINATED TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY.

  2836.  @Texasjr93  "almost all business men are shady." That's why narcissistic businessmen are unqualified to serve a nation. People thought that Trump 'draining the swamp' was the answer to their problems. But, he and his 'family' understand absolutely nothing about public service, only enriching themselves. "What did Biden and Obama due when putin took Crimea?" Increased sanctions against Russia. What is Trump doing about the ongoing Ukrainian invasion? Withholding military spending and aid. "Don't know about Kurds except no country wants them." The Kurds were fighting along side US to defeat ISIS. With one nighttime phone call to Erdogan and w/o notice to our Generals, Trump ordered our troops out of Syria, leaving the Kurds to die on the battlefield at the hand of Turkey. Now, Russia has reaped the rewards of our military sacrifices and blood. "Kim situation eased tensions and wasn't bad at all. It was a nice effort." It was a lot of dangerous saber rattling and empty threats. Kim is now thumbing his nose at our 'dotard' POTUS. Several long range missiles have been tested and Kim may even have developed ICBMs that could reach the US. It was yet another failed effort. Wikipedia - "Trump has frequently granted executive clemency to his supporters or political allies, or following personal appeals or campaigns in conservative media, as in the cases of Rod Blagojevich, Michael Milken, Joe Arpaio, Dinesh D'Souza, and Clint Lorance, as well as Bernard Kerik. Trump's grant of clemency to Roger Stone in July 2020, however, marked "the first figure directly connected to the president's campaign to benefit from his clemency power."Representatives Jerrold Nadler and Carolyn B. Maloney, who chair two House committees, said that "No other president has exercised the clemency power for such a patently personal and self-serving purpose" and said that they would investigate whether Stone's commutation was a reward for protecting Trump." "He authorized the assassination who does he have to go through?" The war powers act was granted to the POTUS, prior to 9/11. Congress is supposed to approve any military action against a sovereign nation and only for national security. Yes, Soleimani was a bad dude, from our POV, but he was an Iranian military officer and a hero in the ME. His martyred death wasn't worth the repercussions, which is why it shouldn't have happened. Prior to that, the US attacked Hammas camps along the Iranian border. Counter strikes were conducted against our military base, which killed our soldiers and 'caused a few headaches' according to Trump. Soleimani's execution was only to save face. "Iran treaty was a sh!t deal giving Iran money and other things with little to no inspections." No, the Iranian treaty was the best deal available, after several months/years of negotiating. The money was Iranian money that had been sanctioned by our allies. Iran was fully compliant with multinational inspections. Everything was under control until 2024. Trump blew up the treaty, with no gains. Now, Iran is actively spinning weapons grade uranium and blatantly doing business with Russia, China, and N Korea. "Biden is not the answer in my eyes because he is on the cognitive decline." Really? And Trump isn't? Hell, Trump can't even put together a full sentence, nor spell hamberder. Biden has decades of political experience with bi-partisan accomplishments. Trump is a low life, who only serves himself to taxpayer money, like diverting military spending to his stupid wall (which Mexico was supposed to fund). Look it, I'm sick and tired of answering stupid right wing whataboutisms. It is nothing more than a race to the bottom of the swamp, finding someone else over the history of mankind, who was just as corrupt as this POTUS. Trump is as corrupt as a person can be. If you had the least bit of morality and decency, you would be honest enough to admit that Trump is not remotely qualified to be the President of the most powerful nation on Earth. His has dragged our nation through the mud. The world now pities the US instead of respecting US and it's 100% because of Trump and his Trumptards. When Bush was re-elected, I was ashamed of being an American. I was proud to vote for Obama and he served our nation with respect and honor. Trump is destroying everything that has made America great. "I also don't trust Harris and dems because they got billionaires, the entire media, and the military industrial complex on there side." BFD! You voted for Trump because he was supposed to be a billionaire, but now we see that he is a fraud. The news media is supposed to be our Constitutional eyes and ears on the government. Trump has diminished them to being 'fake news' so that he can out message them with his own 'fake news'. The military follows the orders of our Commander in Chief. Without a 2 party political system, voters have no choice. It's not about left vs right; it's about defending our nation from Trump's coup d'etat. Are you a REAL patriot or one of Trump's traitors, enabling him to overthrow our nation? Petty partisan bickering is insignificant, in comparison. Trump has already floated the idea of 4 terms and having his children take it from there. Which part of monarchy and authoritarianism do you not understand? Do you think that dictators inform their citizens of plans to overthrow their countries? Of course not! It is our patriotic duty to be vigilant and defend who we are, as the United States of America.

  2943. I had exactly the same experience under the comments of EVERY MSM YT video coverage of Paul Pelosi's attack. It became so disgusting that I had to tell the "trumptarded traitors" to "Piss off and stop trolling me." Yet, they STILL kept pushing their BS. I spend several hours on line, every day, confronting tRumptarded trolls, who are spewing their BS all over President Biden, Pelosi, Karine, and any other Dem that's in the video. They don't even watch the videos for reference, they hit pause and start typing their hateful, anti-democratic, racist, homophobic, perverted BS. IMO, the tRumptards are beyond rhyme and reason. They are a deplorable clique of weak-minded, bas ackward thinking, TDS infected, brainwashed, uneducated, willfully ignorant, anarchistic scum of US society. tRumptards are so damned stupid that they're doing all of this in front of the entire world, without even considering the narrow path President Biden is walking between recession and nuclear war with Russia. But, it's not only the tRumptarded traitors, Paul. MSM gives these election deniers, and lying GQP Congressional cowards equal voice to parrot whatever tRump says. MSM only cares about sowing extremist rhetoric for ratings. The Congressional cowards only care about defending their seats against tRump's loyalists. tRump's BS 'loyalist' candidates haven't a clue about governance, but they'll toe the line on his 'big lie' of a stolen election. Give the lonely, narcissistic, back-stabbing don a hug of loyalty and he will make you a politician and a permanent member of his mafia 'family'. Then, you can lie, cheat, steal, and rig elections all you want. Everyone will be rich, just for a hug. More than anything, I hope that this attack on Paul Pelosi serves to energize and disgust REAL patriotic Americans enough to make a stand during the few days remaining to save Congress and our nation from being overthrown and put a stop to tRumpism. "The people who are inciting this violence with hateful rhetoric MUST BE STOPPED." paraphrasing President Biden. I hope that AG Garland takes that as an Executive order and pulls his finger out of his ass to sign a warrant for the arrest of DJT. Garland has been holding indisputable proof of multiple felonies, yet his lack of expediency is allowing Congress to be run by Q-nut saboteurs of our nation's highest levels of government. tRump is a traitor. Garland is tRump's enabler. Dems are a bunch of pussies, who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. Fucking disgusting state of affairs.

  2944.  @ritarodriguez1810  IOW, "clean the swamp." /SMH. Fix America's problems by blowing up it's government. Just trade them in for newer models like old cars that need to be junked out. Seems to me that you need to think about what you're wishing for, Rita. Why would you believe that the solution would be to tear down an institution that has been serving the needs of Americans for over 250 years (mostly) and replace it with newbies who have no governing experience, not global diplomatic experience, and no political experience, just like Maggie Green? Seriously? HELL NO!! Who cares more for the younger generations than grandparents? The 'old leaders' like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Sanders, et al are the only ones who have been defending our democracy, Constitutional law, and providing social safety nets for the disenfranchised among our society. Most old leaders are aren't serving themselves, but future generations. Most young folks are so narcissistic that they're only concerned about me, myself, mine. "I want this. I want that." AOC may be right about needing to mitigate climate change, but she scares people and businesses to the point of being the 'radical left wing' poster demon of the right. Our Congress was functioning just fine, prior to Citizen's United. That's when politicians started serving dark money superPACs and lobbyists, instead of their constituencies. Those are what need to be discarded. Why would you think that the greatest nation in the world should be run by a bunch of novice ideologues, instead of experienced, seasoned, educated leaders? Look at Biden's BBB agenda. There has never been a more progressive, forward-thinking initiative in our history. I'm 70 years old. But, my hobby is developing laser projectors, programming their controllers, and playing imagery to psychill music. The body grows old and fragile, but an active mind doesn't.

  2963. YES!! I've been complaining about MSM's both-sides-isms for several years. CNN PISSES ME OFF!! For over a year, on every channel, we watched a continuous loop of one moment when panic-crazed Afghans were trying to chase down a cargo plane to be evacuated. EVERYTIME, we were reminded of "Biden's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan." FACT: While being impeached in the spring of 2020, tRump negotiated with ISIS, Taliban, and Al Qaeda terrorists that he would free 5000 of them from a Pakistani prison, then GIVE THEM Afghanistan, on 3/2021 (under Biden's term), IF they wouldn't attack our troops during his drawdown, JUST for campaign bragging points leading up to the 2020 election. IOW the POS mafioso don betrayed 20 years worth of our troops blood sacrifices + Trillions of taxpayer $ in exchange for 1 accomplishment to campaign on to retain Executive Immunity, while being impeached. FACT: Our military had already evacuated Bagram Airbase in the middle of one night, without locals even realizing. "Mission Accomplished!", but the lives of western civilians and our Afghan contractors were still at risk of being beheaded. FACT: Stephen Miller had been slow walking the exit visas of those Afghan allies, which delayed their processing and required Qatar to become an interim processing location. FACT: For logistical reasons, Biden sent our troops back to Karzai airport to evacuate and save 125,000 of those civilians and allies. His effective diplomacy had postponed the final withdrawal 'deadline' from tRump's March to August, granting our military a limited 5 week window of time to save lives. Beyond that, daily beheadings would begin. FACT: Immediately after Afghans breached Karzai's perimeter wall and flooded onto the runway, Biden's administration negotiated with the Taliban to provide perimeter security + safely escort evacuees into the airport. FACT: Our military pre-staged missile defense systems around the airport to ward off incoming terrorist's RPG attacks. FACT: The 13 US troops, who were killed by a suicide bomber at Abbey Gate, had been forewarned of an imminent attack, but they bravely stood their posts, in order to allow British troops to escort civilians inside for evacuation. FACT: Biden didn't leave behind US weaponry for the Taliban, it was left to the Afghan Security Forces, so that the current Afghan government could continue to defend itself. But, MSM only reminded US of one moment of unpredictable chaos... and they STILL are! We STILL never hear about tRump's betrayal of our military's sacrifices. Nor are we ever reminded of Bush's failure to capture Bin Laden, scapegoating the Taliban, starting the 20 year Afghan war, failed 'nation building' with a puppet regime. Irresponsible MSM reporting is failing our nation and jeopardizing our democracy.

  2967.  @joemcintyre2090  tRumpism has turned the Republican party into complicated layers, like an onion. The outer thin skin consists of sociopathic misfits, under-educated losers, antigovernment anarchists, fascist neo-Nazis, and radical white nationalist private militias. They blame the government for all of their problems and believe, "I am the only one who can fix it." "We're going to drain the swamp in DC." "The Dems only want to destroy our beautiful nation." So, tRump has only been singing their song of 'Divide and conquer US." The 2nd layer are tRump's 'loyalist' candidates, who have given 'the don' their embrace of loyalty, in order to get his campaign donations and endorsements. They are the inexperienced politicians, such as Dr Oz, Kari Lake, and MTG (who professes to be tRump's #1 pick for a 2024 running mate). They only need to continue propagating his Big Lie to get the votes of the outer skin of idiots. As long as the candidates are endorsed by tRump, that's all it takes to get those votes. Those candidates who have succeeded get a ticket past the next layer to Congress. But, there's a 3rd layer of old school Conservatives in between, who don't believe in the maga BS, but will be loyal to the Republican party and hold their noses, while voting 'R' on every ballot. They are businessmen, Wall Street hedge fund managers, and billionaire tax cheats, who received tRump's 2 Trillion dollar tax write offs, but will return the favor with dark money superPAC donations to keep their money wheels rolling. The 4th layer consists of the cowardly Congressional Republicans, who 'embraced' tRump during his 1st week in the Oval Office, pledging their loyalty to him personally, while betraying their oaths of office to their constituencies and the Constitution at the same time. They are now sworn members of tRump's mob, who know that their godfather's revenge would destroy their careers in a heartbeat, should they ever cross his will. That's why they lied their asses off during both impeachment trials to get him off the hook. Then, there is the center rotten core of tRump's own personal inner circle of mafioso henchmen, attorneys, and 'family' heirs, who protect, conspire, and advise 'the don' on how to avoid justice while grifting as much money as possible from his gullible cult of idiots and Evangelical sheeple of faith, who will follow 'The Chosen One' into the gates of hell. Of course tRump's onion stinks like hell to begin with, so they'll never know the difference. BR.😎

  2982.  @wildbill21791  200 million vaccinations, American Rescue Plan that is saving thousands of small businesses and our economy, ended the 20 year war in Afghanistan, rejoined the PCA to mitigate climate change, etc, etc. tRump's GQP of puppets unanimously block his every effort to put our nation back on track. You know damn well that it was the US trained Afghan troops that defected to the Taliban after tRump released the Taliban leader to regain power, along with 5000 ISIS and Al Qaeda terrorists. tRump deliberately orchestrated the downfall of the Afghan government, leaving their military without leadership. as you damn well know, tRump created that mess, just to avoid Taliban attacks against our troops, just to gain political advantage over Biden running up to the election in order to retain his BS 'executive immunity against criminal prosecution. 20 years of national sacrifices thrown away for nothing more than than corrupt political advantage. You are so f'ing brainwashed that you think my patriotism is political partisanship. You attack our POTUS for being old while supporting a traitor that's the same age. You attack a life long public servant to support a silver spoon fed, life long irresponsible lying, cheating. whoremongering loser. tRump and his mafioso 'family' are being indicted one by one, turning State's evidence against tRump with plea bargains to save their own sorry asses. tRump is a 2 bit con man, tax fraud, bank fraud, and Putin's puppet. You support the lowest scum of human existence and have the gall to call me partisan because I hate the POS. You're just another one of is weak minded brainwashed deplorable cult, as much of a traitor as your demigod.

  3031. The whereabouts of physical hard copies of docs is irrelevant while the entire cash of originals are sitting on a remote (foreign?) cloud server, where they can still be individually auctioned off to the highest bidders on the global black market (which is the only logical reason for them being stored on cloud drives). Q1: Walt Nauta served as tRump's Senior Chief, in the White House, then transitioned into private life as tRump's personal aide. Is he the same aide who has already admitted to photocopying and uploading classified docs to cloud storage. If he is, then has he been doing this throughout tRump's entire term in the WH? Are the discovered docs only the portion of downloaded printouts that have had tRump's appraisal, prior to auction? Q2: Has the DoJ located the cloud server and examined it's contents? Q3: Who maintains the cloud server? Their IT could examine backups and log records to determine who had access, plus which docs have been auctioned and/or downloaded and when. Q4: Is there only one server location or are there mirrored sites elsewhere? Q5: Has the cloud server ever been hacked by our international foes, allowing them to steal the classified info. The DoJ's investigators need to stop wasting their time by sniffing around on the ground for irrelevant paper printouts and start looking in cyberspace, where the espionage is happening. Walt Nauta knows the details of this whole grifting plot of international espionage. Great that the DoJ is putting the squeeze on him until he squeals. Feels like opening Pandora's box, without knowing what's going to come flying out. Guaranteed, it won't be legal, nor good news for our national security.

  3041. These cuts aren't even on the table, much less a chopping block. Biden won't allow it and the Q-nuts will be blamed, along with McCarthy and the GQP. Cavin' McCarthy is bluffing and doesn't have the chops to follow through with a default. Biden has already explained that it doesn't work that way. So, when McCarthy inevitably caves to Biden, MTG will propose a vote of no confidence, which will throw the House into chaos, even worse than the 15 votes it took to confirm McCarthy as SoH from the get-go. Which other Republican could achieve 218 votes? tRump? BRING IT, TRUMPTARDED TRAITORS!! Dig your own grave and drive the last nail into the GQP's coffin. BUT, Tucker Carlson has me the most worried, above all else. tRump's polling #s are terrible, because voters are sick of his tired old corrupt BS. There's no way that he can win the 2024 election. Biden's #s aren't much better, but he can run on his record of accomplishments, which are strong enough to defeat tRump. DeSantis needs to woke TF up, before being close to becoming electable in a general. Florida is in a mess. So, the GQP have no viable candidates, ESPECIALLY if the Q-nuts default on raising the debt ceiling. On the other hand, the newly unemployed Tuckins could take away tRump's base in a heartbeat, because Carlson knows exactly how to pull their strings and has been doing it for years. He could easily out-tRump trump. He's younger, smarter, a better liar, and understands the weaknesses of both tRump and Biden. Neither would stand a chance against Carlson on a debate stage. Carlson is now footloose, fancy free, flush with money, and not committed to any career, at this perfect moment to announce a 2024 Presidential campaign. Why wouldn't he? Who could stop him? AMERICA, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

  3094.  @grandpuba3831  Thanks for the compliment. I thought Canadians were supposed to be the polite and civil neighbors. FYI, nuclear IS dirty, leaving dangerous spent fuel rods, practically forever. Burying them under mountains doesn't equal clean energy. What about those meltdowns? Chernobyl and Fukushima are still uninhabitable and still burning. The offshore wind generators are the best solution for "Not in my backyard". Sea winds have reliably powered ships for centuries. Usually, if there's no wind, there's also no clouds to block solar. Wind blows at night. Energy storage is the only weak link, but thousands of large companies are in competition for the holy grail, with numerous viable solutions. My local power plant just converted from coal to natural gas. Better, but still not the best. But, my state of AZ has one of the most extensive solar farms and rooftop solar initiatives in the nation. You betcha! I've been a proud tree hugger since the '70s. You have a problem with people with environmental awareness and responsibility? "long retired and watched the slow demise of sanity." Join the club. Why do you think I've become The Hermit? Don't want any part of any of the madness. The post-tRump era has become more violent, more anarchistic, and insanely conspiratorial. I consider myself to be independently progressive, but not unreasonably irresponsible. Ignored politics entirely until Obama came along, because what he said made sense. Same with Biden and his BBB agenda. "As for my so called interference, none exists since we are all part of NAFTA partner" But, you're not a US citizen, who votes in our elections, are you Partner? Then you are interfering in our politics. It's no different to me spewing anti-Prime Minister BS on your Canadian YT political channels, is it? Oh, that's right you don't have any official Canadian government YT channels, do you?

  3103.  @c.a.savage5689  True, despite our Founders' intentions to codify the separation of church and state... because of authoritarian puritanical practices of those times, like witch hunts. Political preaching from pulpits has revived religious extremism and now the church is attacking the state, established personal freedoms, science, medicine, education, and the foundations of our government. Now, we find ourselves at a tipping point between a century worth of devolution and breaking free from those chains of indoctrination. 'Normal' decent folks are leaving the Evangelical churches in droves. 'Normal' Republicans are voting against the GQP and MAGA madness. Young people are rightly concerned about climate change looming over their heads and being able to compete in a hi tech, global job market. They give me hope. I spend most of my days online, fighting the tRumptards' disinformation war on this battlefield. It's a nasty job, but PC Dems aren't up to the task. You sound British. I lived there, '78-'88, which had a profound impact upon my psyche, evolving from being an ugly American to an anti-war, environmentalist. Upon returning 'home', I was a stranger in a strange land of gun violence. England was my 1st step to making my stand as a hermit, rejecting this mad society, while monitoring it and engaging with good decent like-minded folks like your good self. 'Good and evil' don't exist in the natural world. Predators aren't 'evil'. Sheep aren't 'good'. They understand each other, without deception. Together, they maintain the natural balance between Yin & Yang. Humanity's hubris disrupts those laws of nature by force, devoid of empathic understanding. Why do I need religious indoctrination to teach me morality? There is no reward from Santa Claus for obeying the rules at the end of life. Thank you for the pleasant chat, all the best, 'mind 'ow ya go, Mate' & cheers! 😎

  3111. So, this celebrity rapper, who has absolutely nothing to do with politics is graciously granted a private interview with the VPOTUS. He drops his bomb of a question, which effectively elevates a Primadonna DINO senator to President, while demoting the indisputable leader of the free world to a nobody, just to steal his moment of fame. Yet, everyone in these comments consider that as being a legit question to ask. /smh Well, Chuckie got his notoriety, but I guarantee that it will be his last interview with anyone from this administration. Of course, Kamala pushed back to defend the honor of the Oval Office, because the premise of the question was a cheap shot and disrespectful. Apparently, there was an audio problem when the question was asked the first time. IMO, the interview should have ended immediately, without allowing Chuckie his second shot at it. BTW, Folks. I'm very proud of the work this administration is doing to help average American families. Joe Biden is a great POTUS, especially compared to the previous traitor that cheated his way into the White House. I am absolutely appalled by the nastiness and lack of respect constantly spewing from right-wingers. You are all a disgrace to our nation for supporting the traitor who attempted numerous times to overthrow the will of the majority. tRumptards are just as guilty of treason as their chosen wannabe dictator. None of you have any decency, moral core, nor self-respect. Your behavior is inexcusable and you should be ashamed to even consider yourselves to be US citizens. The US citizens I grew up with are far better than any of you can understand.

  3121. tRump staged his campaign announcement on that golden escalator. I warned that tRump is a con man. I warned that tRump was lying and cheating his way into the Oval Office. Mueller confirmed that. I warned against tRump's 'family' being positioned to inherit that position, just like a wannabe royal monarchy. I warned that tRump behaves exactly like a mafioso godfather with his infamous 'embrace of loyalty' from every R Congressman. Their blatant corruption was revealed to the world, as they each lied and distracted with whataboutisms as they defended their don during his Impeachment hearings and trials. I warned about Barr using the DoJ to provide cover for Manafort's Russian collusion. Only now, the whole truth is being exposed. tRump suggested no term limits for POTUS. I warned that he was trying to become a dictator. tRump said that he could only lose if 'they' cheat. I warned that tRump would cheat by any means, just to clutch onto Barr's defense of 'Executive immunity'. "Do unto others, before they do unto you" excuse. tRump said, "If Biden wins, what am I going to do; move to another country?" I warn if tRumploses his precious Executive immunity', he will flee to Moscow before being convicted. Some tRumptards were offended by my warnings, so they reported to YT that I was harassing them, so my account was disabled for 5 weeks, until Jan 6th, when YT realized that I was correct. tRump refused to concede the election. I warned that he would attempt a coup, just to save his own skin. Been warning folks for over five years, now, and getting pretty warn out, TBH. Whoever listens to The Hermit? tRumptards scoffed and jeered; called me a fool on the hill. "Go crawl back into your cave," they said. Didn't need to be a University professor to understand what's been going on with our nation, only a pair of eyes and half a brain. Glad to see her speaking up, now that we've devolved into an anocratic nation. (still warning folks about that, too) Gotta have a master's degree to make up words like that, you know. Obviously, we're a divided nation and coming to a tipping point. Make sure that you're standing on the side of democracy, Folks. It could all come crumbling down unless we get our act together as a united nation of law and order. Anyway, thank you, Professor. I sincerely hope that folks pay more attention to you than they have with me. 🙏

  3235.  @chadbasedwick8517  Yes, everyone needs to scrutinize our press, but at some point you have to start believing your own 'lying' eyes. Trump invented the term 'fake news', in order to discredit our independent press, who are the public's eyes and ears on the government as provided by the 1st amendment. Sure, ratings and sponsorship plays a role, but there's PBS, BBC, and nonpartisan news outlets. They can't all be wrong, while Trump's lies are accepted, solely on faith. The medical professionals and WHO are in agreement about the severity of COVID19. But, let's not allow ourselves to be distracted by click-bait sensationalism, while Trump is attempting a coup against our nation. He has assigned cabinet positions to his mafioso family and henchmen, taken control of Congressional Republicans and most Federal Departments, including Barr's DoJ, who have created a multi-agency private militia. They will defend Trump from being physically removed from the WH on January 20th. Trump's gangsta, Post Master DeJoy, has already been caught trying to cripple the Post Office sorting machines to delay mail in ballots from being delivered in time to be counted. McConnell is cramming a right wing SC Judge through the Senate, to ensure that any SCOTUS decision falls in Trump's favor. Russians bot farms are interfering in our election again. There is no limit to the degree of corruption and cheating going on to enable Trump to become our 1st dictator. FLUSH THE TURD ON NOVEMBER 3RD!! Your nation is depending upon it!

  3267. Yes! Messaging is absolutely the key to defending our nation's democracy against these corrupted tRump "loyalists", who are deliberately lying and projecting election fraud, in order to cheat their way into power for the midterm elections. The only cracks that I'm noticing are among Congressional Dems and the so-called 'leftist MSM', who are constantly focusing their viewers upon our nation's current COVID related woes and promoting the right-wing media's BS that it's all Biden's fault, instead of countering that negative messaging with reports of Biden's accomplishments. For example, where would our economy and families be if Biden hadn't passed the ARP stimulus package. No PPEs in schools, no eviction moratoriums, no unemployment benefit extensions, no childcare assistance, insufficient vaccinations available.... People would be living on the streets and resorting to lives of crime to feed themselves. Thanks to Biden's vaccine policies, the COVID death rates have dropped from 7.8 per 100K population to only 0.13. IOW, millions of lives have been/are/will be saved. But the MSM only reports on skyrocketing omicron cases, which are minor. Afghanistan debacle? Entirely tRump's doing. That looping video bite of the Afghan panicking mob on the runway was stopped within one day. Those 23 US troop deaths in the middle of a terrorist infested warzone is insignificant to the ongoing 3 week average of 1,800 Americans being murdered by guns in their own neighborhoods. IMO, he leftist MSM is only pandering to tRumptards, in order to attract them away from Faux Spews. That makes them active participants in the downfall of our democracy, by sowing their negative messaging to a discontented spoiled public full of whiners. Unless that changes immediately. We can kiss our democracy goodbye, because we're already on that slippery slope of an authoritarian dictatorship.

  3273. "Is touting accomplishments a winning strategy for Democrats this November?" Not touting their accomplishments is a losing strategy that is hurting Biden's approval ratings. Personally, I'm sick and tired of only hearing hyperbolic right-wing BS criticisms being regurgitated by MSM, without being challenged. Republicans have been beating Dems for decades over illegal immigration, while being the party that's refusing to do their job by debating and passing comprehensive immigration laws. IOW, they are the cause of the problem, have no solutions, and have the gall to blame it all on Dems. Where's the Dems' counter defense? ZZZzzz... 50/50 - 2 DINOs does not make a majority control. Dems lose, even with 96% in agreement to support a bill. The only bills that can pass are bills with GQP/tRump approval. IOW, their way or nothing. That's what the GQP calls bipartisanship. Same with the inflation and mask/vaccine mandates BS. No one ever reminds US of where we would have been without them. This is the result of fake news supporting an authoritarian wannabe dictator, the self-righteous anarchists' 'chosen one' who is hand picking his 'loyalists' to undermine our government. Why do these traitors deserve equal airtime to spew their propaganda? Why does MSM opine over Dem's diverse caucus as being weak divisions, while they are doing all of the heavy lifting of restoring our nation, defeating a pandemic, upholding our international commitments to NATO, and defending democracy at home and abroad? /smh Glad to see Elizabeth Warren on the scene, speaking out to defend our democracy against tRump's GQP right-wing propaganda. Dems need to stop playing the high-minded stereotype while being covered with BS and start cleaning out the pig sty.

  3300.  @Hotdogbruh  I'm glad to hear that Vietnamese nor S Asians hate Americans as much as the Chinese. A tourist with Vietnamese 'friends' doesn't make you an expert on all of their feelings. You prejudge that all Vietnamese are the same as the one you naiively call 'friend'? You sound more like a young white tourist than someone who actually lived through the Vietnam war. I'm sure that most modern Asians' personal experiences of Americans is enjoying the dollars that American tourists spend in your countries. Yes, I'm woke and damned proud of it. I'm sure that you're familiar with the Buddha's teachings of 'mindfulness'. That's exactly the same meaning as wokeness, my Asian friend. Are you as disrespectful towards The Buddha as you are towards white people, who practice hi teachings? White Europeans have a lot to be ashamed of, including decades slavery, the genocide of Native Americans, and the senseless discrimination still continues., because of attitudes like yours. I wish it were possible to take that disgraceful history away, as if it never existed. But, I can only be more respectful towards ALL human beings who have been victimized by the past generations of my color of skin. You have a problem with that? Then, you don't understand me at all, so keep your demeaning labels off me. You, sound more like just another bigoted American white supremacist, tRumptarded traitor, with a brand new YT account that has no content to conceal your identity. Mine is locked down as well, just to protect myself against radical right wing neo-Nazis, of whom I have been insulting and verbally pissing on for the past 7 years. Come closer for one of your beloved BS Chosen One's warm golden showers.

  3344. Yang has no previous record of public service, so he needs to meet voters, just to learn the lay of the land. He's only flying by the seat of his pants. Without bribing voters with UBI, he has nothing. Bloomberg is a philanthropist, who spends $billions every year fighting diseases and poverty throughout the world. He puts his own money where his mouth is, willing to personally pay $5 million on America's share of the Paris Climate Accord, which he will rejoin. He is already known and respected internationally and has worked within the UN. The DNC can't drag him down (but he can stop their corruption) and the MSM can't sideline him (he can own them). Since he has worked under both parties, hyper-partisan rhetoric can't touch him. He's soaring above all of that petty nonsense. Above all else, Bloomberg can stop the divisive behavior that is destroying our nation. Debates? He 'don't need no stinkin' debates. He can present his case anytime he wants, without interruptions nor time limits. Air time? He's got all the airtime he needs. He just says, "Here you go America. This is what I'm going to do for you." His ads are in every American's living room, from now until the election. He doesn't need to waste time spinning his wheels on little town halls and knocking on doors. Mike's tech savvy. He uses data analysis to guide his decision making, without relying upon ego and presumptions. He will systematically give Trump the spanking that he deserves, then throw his treacherous mob into prison where they belong. All the bullshit will stop as soon as Bloomberg steps into the Oval Office. Money talks and bullshit walks.👏👏👏 Bloomberg 2020!

  3388. Please, PLEASE, publicly call out MTG and/or Boebert for a (safe) remote split screen interview/debate!🙏 Yo! PoliticsGirl!, Yeah you, Beautiful! Come, on over 'ere, and lend me just a NY minute of your time. 'ere, pull up a chair, take a load off and relax a bit. I only need a quick word in your lovely shell-like ear. Here's the deal, straight up, cause that's the kinda guy I am. I just wanna say that I've had my eye on you for quite awhile now, see? I like your style, Kid. Ya got some great chops, good words and a fast tongue, if you catch my drift. I really like that thing you do with the mic. That's my favorite. But, don't let it go to you're head, okay? I'm just sayin'. To be honest, I think you're a class act. right up there with the big league, if ya know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I'm not tryin' to tell ya what to do or nuttin', but I think this challenge thing could put you over the top, if you play your cards right. Ya know what I'm sayin'? I mean, who doesn't love a good cat-fight? Nobody, right? So, I'm thinking that a YT matchup between you and MTG would be 'uge, like one of them viruses on the web kinda things we keep hearing about. I mean, let's face it, Sweetheart, Boebert is too chicken to go toe to toe with an intelligent kinda goil like you and MTG is too stupid to resist a muck-slinging challenge and the exposure. I mean, can you imagine? The bitch would be stepping up to her webcam, all cocky and shit, right? Sorry, pardon my French, Lady. My Ole man was a drunk, bless his heart, so I never learned no manners or nuttin'. Anyway, you would rip her to shreds, no problem, right? But, do yourself a favor, Kid. Instead of throwing a KO, straight out of the gate, give the crowd enough time to enjoy the match. Toy with MTG, just like a cat with a mouse. I guarantee that a matchup between you two would be as epic as Bruce Lee vs the don tRump... or whoever. So whadda ya say, Champ? Tell ya what I'm a gonna do, just because you're so special and I love you. I won't even take my usual fee for the idea. cat fight, Cat Fight, CAT FIGHT...!!! cat fight, Cat Fight, CAT FIGHT...!!! Merry Christmas, Everyone!

  3443. "Oh f'ing woe are we, it's a little more difficult to do transformative than we expected. Our POTUS' approval ratings are slipping and we wonder why " smh Gee, do ya think it might have something to do with 100% of one side within an evenly divided Congress + 2 DINOs are refusing to compromise, instead of serving the needs of our nation? President Biden wrote the 'damn' bill, split it into one no-brainer for Republicans and another no-brainer for Dems, but both had to pass together, before he would sign either into law. Neither side will get wat they want, unless they're willing to approve the other's. Republicants would be blocked from gutting a single bill of progressive policies, making it a right wing conservative only bill. Brilliant! The old school, well seasoned Congressman knows every trick in the book and has a few of his own left up his sleeve. You think that he didn't expect the price tag of his bill to get whittled down in Congress, think again, Folks. The conservatives will brag to their constituents about how they've succeeded in cutting spending, while President Biden will be happy because he still got everything he wanted.... if it weren't for the 2 DINO holdouts putting personal wealth above our nation. smh I'm really sick and tired of hearing the left wing media kicking President Biden to the curb, before he has even had a decent chance. He's already gotten us out of Afghanistan, with minimal casualties. His amazingly fast distributions of vaccines would have eliminated COVID by now, IF people would cooperate. His ARP stimulus has been very effective in keeping child poverty reduced by 40%, families from being evicted, and our economy recovering faster than any other country. WTF, MSM?!

  3467. These GQP Congessmen are literally F'ing insane. Their divisive rhetoric and blatant lies are irresponsible and beneath the dignity of the office they hold. Instead of solving any problems, they only know how to nit pick and criticize by resorting to outrageous exaggerations. Trump left the US in this mess, but these dishonest POS politicians blame every problem on the Biden administration, who has only been in office for 6 months. During that time, every single bill as met 100% Republicant opposition in the Senate. So, how is Biden the cause of our woes? They only know how to point fingers at Dems, demonizing over half of US voters. But, the historic records say otherwise. Reagan's trickle down economy only transfers taxpayer revenues to the filthy rich, who don't even need it. That's why our infrastructure is crumbling, the national debt has grown beyond imagination, and poor folks can't afford higher education to become more employable. Clinton handed GWBush a balanced budget, which he only poured into a 20 year $5 Trillion ME war, without even taking out Bin Laden. Obama had to abandon his 2008 campaign to rescue Wall Street, homeowners, the auto industry, and healthcare. Trump followed with removing Wall Street oversight and gave them $2 Trillion of taxpayer revenues. Now, our economy is on its knees and Biden has to come to the rescue yet again. Yes, Biden's stimulus package costs $1.9 Trillion, but it's paid for by enforcing the existing IRS laws. Republicants only know how to talk trash, but have absolutely no ideas regarding how to govern responsibly. That's why they go to kiss tRump's ring and kowtow to his whims. smh

  3501. For 2 years, the cowardly Garland turned a blind eye to mafioso don's insurrection attempt, treason with the Taliban, and blatant criminal behavior, even after the House Jan 6th committee did the DoJ's work of conducting investigations, hundreds of sworn witness testimonies, compiled their overwhelming evidence into 3 productions of publicly televised hearings. Yet, Garland cowered in silence, until after tRump's 'loyalist' seditious conspirators gained control of the people's House with the sole intentions of sabotaging Congress and the righteous agenda of our elected POTUS. Garland did absolutely nothing until after tRump forced his hand by announcing another campaign for the Oval office. Only then, Garland bravely took action by delegating the responsibility to Jack Smith, to avoid jeopardizing his own family. No thanks to Garland's too little and too late performance of duty, our nation's democracy is now being jeopardized by a wannabe dictator. So, Garland is prosecuting Apple instead, as if that's America's #1 threat. I'm retired IT, still spend most of my days online, but have never owned an Apple product and never will. My #1 concern is tRumpism destroying the fabric of our society, with lies, violence, racism, and moral corruption. Garland has enabled tRump to the point of being complicit in sabotaging everything America has stood for over the past 1 1/2 century. He is a weak, timid mouse in a man's body, who trembles like a leaf during interviews. Garland was the absolute worst choice for AG, responsible for taking down criminals and traitors, especially a mafioso mob's ruthless don.

  3523.  NPC Non Binary Demigender Pansexual Two Spirit  You seem to be under the misimpression that only Democrat women have had abortions. Roe v Wade was decided by a nonpartisan Supreme Court decision, which made abortions legal, based upon the 2nd amendment stating that "no laws shall be made by Congress with regards to religion, sex..." FYI, prior to that women were still getting abortions in back allies in non-sterile conditions with coat hangers and lye soap. Is that what you want to return to? At least, now abortions are being performed within a professional surgical environment. Of course, the sooner, the better, with regards to humanely aborting the fetus. Yet, Rethuglicans insist upon delaying the process as long as possible, with consultations, sonograms, and red tape just to impose their beliefs upon the situation. Their entire involvement has negative results. Everything about your divisive language (butchers of the leftist death cult, snowflake, etc) indicates the mindset of a right wing Trumptard, not a centrist Independent. As your alias implies, you don't really know who you are, nor which side to support. You'll jump into bed with anyone who suits your fancy, right? What gives you the right to judge pregnant women and to force your ideological opinions upon anyone else? A woman's womb is not for others to control. Only she knows what kind of livelihood she can provide or not. No woman intentionally aborts a child, without extremely compelling reasons. Who are you to force her to go full term, then steal the baby away upon a stranger's behalf at the moment of birth? Furthermore, if religion is constitutionally removed from the scenario, then humans are no different than any other animal. Do you kill other sentient animals for your consumption? What about all of the species of the rainforests that are being mindlessly destroyed, just to raise cattle? Because of that, I haven't eaten beef for 25 years. So, don't try to make any holier than thou arguments against me, you self-righteous hypocrite.

  3539.  @prav777  "Racism will exist as long as races exist" I said those exact same words ~2 years ago. But, that has nothing to do with EVERYONE being racist. You are only speaking from your own myopic perspective. WTF do you think you are to tell YT strangers who they are? You don't have a clue about what's in my mind. "I would rather you fight in places where enslavement actually happens to this day with black folks in northern Africa and elsewhere" Yeah, you would like nothing more than for me to FO somewhere else, wouldn't you? FYI, I'm a registered US voter, who is concerned with what's going on within my own country and defending it from Trumptard traitors, like you. Besides, I obviously have no voice anywhere else in the world and it would be wasted effort. What a F'ing stupid suggestion! "Compared to the s__t that happens around the world, the crap that happens here is nothing." Since Trump's term, we have rioting in our streets, blacks being murdered on national TV, raging forest fires, 225,000 COVID deaths, a collapsing economy with huge national debt, the worst unemployment in over 1/2 a century, hyperbolic political divisions, anarchists undermining our government, yet you believe that all is well on the home front. JFC! Yes, the cartels have either killed or bribed government officials and their military to look the other way. That's exactly why we should be supporting their officials with military action against terrorism, not looking the other way. The problem is in their countries, so that's what needs to be addressed to stop the refugee caravans from coming to our borders. At this very minute, Trump has hijacked the Republican party and is ripping off taxpayers for billions of dollars. Trump's administration is the epitome of political corruption, yet you are too ignorant to see it..

  3590.  @markcicero7931  No. It was tRump who tried to extort a BS phony press announcement that he was investigating Hunter. "But, I just need you to do me a favor." he conditioned the military defense systems upon. Then tRump fired the US ambassador, Yovanivich (?) because she wouldn't do State business with Rudy. The constant reruns of the crazy-assed, panicking Afghans trying to stop a cargo plane was only the first day of unexpected chaos, which was immediately under control thanks to excellent diplomacy to enlist the Taliban to provide perimeter security, instead of plunging our troops into fighting an Afghan coup. Tht whole shit-show was orchestrated by tRump and Pompeo, including the Taliban's swift defeat of the Afghan government and their security forces, who had no choice but to immediately concede and flee for their lives. President Biden was simply stating the fact that the chaos was dealt with effectively. Yet, the chaotic scene keeps on looping What cover are you talking about? The left leaning MSM have been sounding like Faux Spews. Look it. This rewriting history BS is all fun, but what exactly is your point? You don't give a damn about those Afghans. But, that's all you can complain about with this administration? BTW, during EVERY 3 weeks, an average 1,800 US citizens are murdered by gun violence in their own neighborhoods. Biden only lost 13 US troops in the middle of a terrorist infested war zone in a 3rd world shit-hole country. Why aren't you decrying the 30,000 gun deaths every year? Why aren't you supporting our elected leader, who saved our nation from another term of blatantly corrupt tRumpism? Have you no morals? Are you even a US citizen? Biden is exactly the POTUS we need during these times of social turmoil, COVID, and global challenges like saving our planet.

  3593. Robert, how many times did you have to remind Katie of how naive she is after the impeachment trial? Millennials are so opinionated.🙄 BFD, Warren abused her womanhood to execute a rehearsed sexist attack against Bloomberg, as if he were personally the subject of those NDAs, when he admitted that he only told an offensive joke. It was not appropriate for Mike to break legally binding NDAs between 3rd party employees. Yes, Bloomberg knew that he was walking into the lion's den, but he did it anyway. He didn't go there to attack his Dem sivals, he is there to attack Trump. As a seasoned billionaire and effective team leader, Mike knows that he can't use his power to punch down on people. He has enough class to communicate respectfully. The moderators were allowing a free for all gang bang against Mike. At one point, I counted 4 attacks from 4 different candidates, before Mike was given an opportunity to defend himself. It was yet another shameless display of MSNBC bias. But, here's the kicker, Folks. Trump is launching a $1billion propaganda campaign, called 'the Death Star'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YjcsUNf1dU&t=23s Now, there's a $1billion annie, just to campaign in the general election against Trump. WTF is Bernie's plan to deal with that? Bloomberg's campaign is guided by polling data. IOW, he is catering to the statistical majority of voters, regardless of party affiliation. He's running for POTUS, not PODNC. So, he will promise what the majority want to hear. Without special interest influences, Mike's campaign promises are his words of bond. If elected, Mike will serve the people and eliminate Citizens United, political corruption by superPACs and lobbyists, as well as continuing his work against climate change and all the other progressive policies.That's true democracy w/o corruption, not oligarchy. Mike Gets It Done! BTW, Trump is is a phony, self-serving, 3rd rate knockoff of don Corleone, complete with the Cabinet mob of henchmen, the crooked lawyer, and the corrupted Republican Congressional politicians. They are traitors, attempting a coup d'etat against our nation. If re-elected, Trump will become our 1st dictator with no term limits. His heirs are already poised to inherit his crown and kingdom. Mike is only in this fight to stop Trump. He is the anti-Trump, patriotically defending our democracy. Please don't tar them with the same brush, simply because they both have money. Are all poor people the same?

  3608.  @edwardcuevas6974  BS. No matter how you slice it, the WS, software whiz kids, and data driven billionaires, with accountants aren't paying their fair share because of decades worth of Republicans' BS Reaganomics, providing them with countless loopholes and write-offs... no inheritance tax for their privileged brats, for one example. Republicans give billionaires tax breaks. The billionaires return the favor by "investing" an unlimited percentage of their savings back into right wing super PACs, thanks to Citizens United. "Corporations became people". Now, Republicans serve corporations, instead of the needs of their constituents. It's a feedback loop, powered by the working class tax revenues to the greedy filthy rich. Those IRS is already so poorly manned that they can't enforce the existing tax laws. Those much needed additional agents will fund their own wages by tracking down unpaid taxes, fraudulent filings, under the table transfers of money, and billions of dollars hidden in tax havens by billionaire tax dodgers, just like the tRump org's. The spending on social safety nets, healthcare, and education lifts up the downtrodden and neglected onto their feet, puts them on the path to employment, making them respectable, independent, taxpaying citizens. Every dollar towards domestic programs feeds the recipient, passes from their hands to grocery stores, those employees, and the shareholders, who benefit and are taxed with every transaction. That's what Biden means by building the economy from the bottom up. EVERYONE benefits STARTING with the most needy, not welfare for the most greedy.

  3609.  @rw9573  BFS!! I remember tRump betraying our troops by freeing 5,000 ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Taliban terrorists from a Pakistani prison. I remember your traitor tRump promising them that they could have Afghanistan back, during Biden's term in office IF they wouldn't attack US troops before the 2020 election, just for his own political edge, while being impeached. I remember that our military had already evacuated Bagram Airbase, during the middle of the night, without locals even noticing. But, instead of declaring, "'Mission accomplished", I remember Biden ordering our military to use the logistical advantages of Karzai Airport to evacuate125,000 western civilians and our Afghan contractors to protect them from being beheaded after the August 1 deadline. tRump had absolutely no plan nor intentions of saving those allies. In fact, I remember Steven Miller holding up the processing of their SIVs, which complicated their evacuations. I remember Biden successfully negotiating with Qatar o serve as safe half-way point for processing SIVs. I remember how Biden's excellent diplomacy changed the Taliban from our enemies into our allies, who willingly provided a security perimeter around Karzai Airport after the panic crazed Afghans flooding onto the runway,, during only the 1st cargo plane's takeoff (which has been mischaracterized on continuous MSM news loops over the past 2 years, as their only evidence of Biden's 'failed evacuation'). I remember the Taliban escorting westerners to assist with their evacuations. I remember those 13 US troops being forewarned of an "imminent attack upon Abbey Gate" yet they bravely chose to stand their posts to allow British troops to usher in their civilians to be evacuated during a Taliban coup in the middle of a terrorist battleground. I remember the 2.500 US citizens who are murdered by gun violence EVERY 3 WEEKS IN THEIR OWN 'SAFE' NEIGHBORHOODS. BIDEN'S AFGHAN WITHWRAWAL WAS A HUGE SUCCESS, BY COMPARISON. I remember tRump disrespectfully refusing to even show his respects at the return of our fallen troops. Yes, I remember President Biden looking at his watch TO MARK THE EXACT ARRIVAL TIME of our fallen troops. But, you tRumptarded mind readers have to make up your own BS reasons! I remember the past 7 years worth of tRump and ignorant Republicant Congress members broadcasting to the world that our southern border is wide open and even staging Faux demonstrations of illegals crossing during the middle of the night (but being apprehended by BP off camera), while refusing to do their jobs of passing Comprehansive Immigration Reform legislation over several decades. Guess what, tRumptard? THE WORLD WATCHES US TV, THAT'S EVEN TRANSLATED INTO THEIR OWN NATIVE LANGUAGES. Republicans are deliberately causing the border crisis, refusing to stop it, then blaming it on Dem administrations. I remember the baby food shortage, which was caused by a factory being shut down, because its products were contaminated. Then, Biden had supplies shipped in from Ireland to SOLVE the problem. BFS!! The USA had NO fuel shortages. Europe had fuel shortages, after sanctioning Russian oil supplies. Biden SOLVED those shortages by negotiating with OPEC to increase their supply to the global market. Then, Biden released US oil reserves to be sold onto the global market AT A PROFIT THAT REDUCES OUR NATIONAL DEBT, after US oil corp (who have been gouging US customers) replaces it. I remember 2 years worth of global pandemic shutdowns that created supply chain disruptions, which caused global inflation, FAR GREATER THAN THE USA's. Under President Biden's leadership, the USA economy and inflation is better than any other developed country in the world. I remember tRump inciting the Jan 6th insurrection to overthrow our fair election. I remember tRump's BS tRump University scam. I remember the tRump family's BS charity scam. I remember tRump being responsible for Jamal Kashoggi's dismemberment. I remember Jared being paid $2Billion in blood money from MBS. I remember tRump's $2Trilion tax break to his filthy rich cronies. I remember tRump reneging on JCPOA, which allowed Iran's nuclear weapon's program to resume, instead of remaingin compliant until 2024. I remember tRump's middle of the night phone call to Erdogan to undercut Russia's sales of jet aircraft, then the POS pulled our tRoops off the N Syrian battlfields against ISIS, leaving our Kurdish allies to be slaughtered by Turkey. I remember tRump pulling out of PCA, which set back anit-climate change efforts by years. I remember the entire UN counsel laughing in tRump's face, when he started bragging on himself at the podium. I remember tRump's attempt to use vital military aide to extort Ukraine's President Zelenski to make a phoney press announcement about Hunter being investigated. "It doesn't even need to be true. Just tell that to the press." I remember tRump's Big Lie, Giuliani's 60 failed court cases, Sydney Powell's conviction over her Dominion voting machine lies, multiple election audits, Cyber Ninja's BS fraudit, and tRump's attempt to intimidate Georgia's SoS Raffensperger. I remember tRump stealing thousands of Top Secrete Nuclear weapons documents from the White House to sell on the global black market to the highest bidders from a cloud server. REMEMBER THIS, TRUMPTARDS: TRUMP'S A TRAITOR!! LET'S GO JACK!! LOCK THEM UP!! MAGA, BIDEN!!

  3622. The 'godfather' summoned all of the Congressional Republicans into the Oval Office as soon as he arrived. Trump understands that 'every an has his price' and has the resources to pay it. Obviously, he gave them an offer they couldn't refuse. His 'embrace' sealed their oath of allegiance to him, above party and nation. That's why he has absolute control over the Senate and House Republicans. Woe to anyone who breaks their vow by not holding the Trump Party line. Yes, I said Trump Party because he owns the Republicans. This is the only possible explanation for their shameless behavior throughout the impeachment proceedings. This is also the only explanation of McConnell's public statement that he would follow the White House counsel's guidance and that there is 0 chance of impeachment passing the Senate. This is illegal and unconstitutional. After the backlash of a failed impeachment, Trump will win the election, Dems will lose the House and a vindicated Trump will be unstoppable. Within only 4 years, Trump and his motley mob of Cabinet henchmen will have successfully conducted a coup against our democracy, without firing a shot. He has already floated ending term limits and is poised to become America's first dictator. Of course, his ego would prefer the title of 'King of the World.' Then, his heirs in waiting could inherit his 'kingdom'. Bada-bing. Just like that. You think I'm crazy? Who's gonna stop him? His only check on power is the Dem controlled House and they have already failed, simply because everyone dismissed it as only hyper-partisanship. Guess again. Tick-tock.......(crickets chirping)

  3623. The 'godfather' summoned all of the Congressional Republicans into the Oval Office as soon as he arrived. Trump understands that 'every man has his price' and has the resources to pay it. Obviously, he gave them 'an offer they couldn't refuse'. His 'embrace' sealed their oath of allegiance to him, above party and nation. That's why he has absolute control over the Senate and House Republicans. Woe to anyone who breaks their vow by not holding the Trump Party line. Yes, I said Trump Party because now he owns the Republicans. This is the only possible explanation for their shameless behavior throughout the impeachment proceedings. One by one, Collins and others went to ridiculous lengths to deny indisputable testimonies from multiple reputable witnesses, blow distracting smoke screens, and spew outrageous lies in defense of Trump. No respectable person would stoop that low, without coercion. How is it possible that not one Republiturd could muster the moral backbone to vote 'yes', while being aware of this administration's corruption? Furthermore, McConnell's public statement that he would follow the White House counsel's guidance and that there is 0 chance of impeachment passing the Senate is complicate, illegal, and unconstitutional, because it violates the separation of powers and oversight over the Executive branch. Under the circumstances, Pelosi has no choice but to withdraw the articles. She has exposed Republican and Trump's corruption, which is the best she could hope for, under the circumstances. So, the impeachment is dead. But, instead of nebulous charges of 'high crimes and misdemeanors', she should have gone full bore with all guns blazing, including blatant violations of the emollients clause, deploying troops into Saudia Arabia w/o congressional approval along with many others. Republican states have already cancelled their primaries, so Trump won't be challenged from within 'his' own party. After the backlash of a failed impeachment, Trump will undoubtedly win the election against the DNC's weak field of candidates, Dems will obviously lose the House and a vindicated Trump will be unstoppable. Within only 4 years, Trump and his motley mob of Cabinet henchmen will have successfully conducted a coup (which he deliberately projects onto Dems) against our nation, without firing a shot. He has already discredited the MSM (as all dictators do), floated ending term limits (testing his opposition, as he often does prior to commitment) and is poised to become America's first dictator. Of course, his ego would prefer the title of 'King of the World.' Then, his heirs in waiting could inherit his 'kingdom'. Meanwhile he can join his coveted club of world dictators, such as Putin, Kim, King Salman, and others. All of this fits Trump's MO and explains his behavior on the international stage, doesn't it? You think I'm crazy? Who's gonna stop him, now that he's already over half way there? Trump's only check on power is the Dem controlled House and they have already failed, simply because everyone dismissed it as only hyper-partisan politics from the left, instead of blatant corruption on the right. 😒 OORR....... 3 term NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg gallops into the race on his mighty white warhorse, wearing an impenetrable shiny silver coat of arms, wielding his huge sword of unlimited campaign funds. Unencumbered with petty DNC bickering, MSM sidelining, nor partisan politics Bloomberg easily thrashes Trump next year. The DNC is forced to rally behind him, along with bipartisan voters. So, Dems gain the Senate majority and hold the House. Relieved Republicans can stop holding their noses and support Bloomberg's monetary policies. Washington DC and our nation reunites. Trump and his mob go to prison, where they belong. International relationships are restored, America returns to the Paris Climate accord, our economy stabilizes with a balanced budget and national pride returns.👏🤩🥳 The choice is yours, America.😎

  3625. I understand exactly how you feel. I'll provide you with an answer to both of your questions, because they precisely describe someone I've been following on YouTube... Tulsi Gabbard. Here she is, for those who don't know her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mw1w-1Z0g8 I may be a hermit, but I'm very aware of what's going on in the world, especially within our political system, including the impeachment hearings and Dem debates. Everything I see is disgraceful: 2016 Russian collusion, DNC debate cheating for Clinton, disillusioned & brainwashed voters electing a self-serving silver-spoon-fed pu$$y-grabbing phony billionaire wannabe mob boss as POTUS in the misguided belief that he gives a damn about them. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Congressional Republicans have obviously sold their souls to the devil, because they are serving Trump over party and country. The top 2% got a tax break, which they invested straight into Wall Street, which has artificially inflated the markets, so everything is fine. We're losing climate change regulations, safe drinking water, public lands to oil, and women's rights. 40,000 senseless gun deaths per year. Income inequality, outsourced jobs, unaffordable housing & healthcare, genetically modified food from patented roundup-ready seeds, homelessness, locked-up refugee children, private for-profit prisons, needless police shootings, racist law enforcement and judicial system. Iran is enriching weapons grade uranium, because we reneged on as multi-lateral agreement. Russia is invading Ukraine, so Trump withholds their anti-tank missiles, for personal gain (mob-like extortion). Without notice, we abandoned anti-ISIS fighters to be slaughtered by Turkey. Russia have replaced our military, so all of they reap the benefits of all our sacrifices. We are subsidizing US weapons factories in Saudi Arabia (9/11 terrorists), which is literally going to backfire on us. N Korea is developing guided missiles, as we pull out of S Korea. We are in a trade war with China, which could tank our economy. Trump repealed the sequester, so our national debt has increased 30% $800B-$1.2T. Most of these things have happened during or because of Trump's administration. BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF? All along, I've been blaming Republicans Thinking that Dems were more honest, compassionate, law abiding, public servants working for the majority... until now. Remember Tulsi Gabbard, that patriotic public servant I previously mentioned? She's running a grassroots bipartisan platform campaign for POTUS on a Democratic ticket. Tulsi wants to get big money out of our political system... no Citizens United, superPACs, dark money, revolving doors, etc. Clean elections putting an end to political corruption, which is great! Right? Not according to the DNC and MSM. So, they have been actively smearing the only candidate that is capable of defeating Trump. WTF ARE THEY THINKING?! During the last debate, Tulsi was set up with a loaded question, was censored by the Washington Post broadcast video (after a cheap-shot attack by Harris), only allowed 7 minutes of screen time, overlooked for post-debate interview, and defenselessly smeared by the same interviewers. This is how shamelessly they treat the only candidate who is capable of putting our nation back on track. Clearly, Putin is enjoying the view. SHAME ON AMERICANS FOR ALLOWING THIS !!!

  3650.  @thetruthyes  Tulsi is a one of a kind, enlightened individual, who can't be contained and categorized into a pigeonhole, with a label. So, don't even presume to know her and associate her with the Clintons. Tulsi and Hillary have been at odds for over 3 years, just because Tulsi refuses to be controlled by her. It is Clinton that is behind all of the smears. The rest of your rhetoric against her is nothing more than just that, which is a pretty good indication that you are no more than a troll. Perhaps I'm a hermit, but I'm an honest one, who is very attentive to what's going on. With regards to your edit, Tulsi is all about serving the needs of the whole above one's self or political party. This is the opposite of what is going on in America, today. Both parties demonize the other, causing political gridlock. Tulsi refuses to allow the DNC to restrict her from working across the 'isle' for the betterment of the nation. I would go so far to say she is nonpolitical. This is the POTUS America needs to stop the extremist gridlock, and bickering. Anyone who supports Trump and calls themselves patriotic are fools. Trump is a self-serving mob boss, with a cabinet full of anarchists, who demonizes half of the population, instead of serving the whole. One by one, they are all going to prison for corruption. As each canary sings, they will take Trump down, too. What you call freedom, I call lawlessness. Having come from a communist country, wherever that may be, you should be able to recognize corrupt leaders better than most. Because, although communism (equality for everyone) is a great ideology, it doesn't work because of greedy leadership. Have you become so used to it that you think it is normal? That would explain your acceptance of Trump. Well, Americans don't have to accept political corruption and self-serving leaders. Ideally, we vote them out of office. You speak of protecting our constitutional rights, while Trump violates everything it stands for. Like I said, he is a mob boss, with a misguided mob of supporters. His rallies are like a pep rally, before a riot. Trump also demonizes the press, just so everyone will blindly believe in his lies, rather that anyone who would call him out. This is one of the first steps towards dictatorship... silence the opposition. If you like, I could teach you much more about democracy and freedom, comrade. Please, go to tulsi2020.com and watch some of her videos, instead of misrepresenting an amazingly decent, patriot, who only wants what is best for our whole nation, not just the upper 1%. Aloha!😎

  3657.  @thetruthyes  Looks like we have a pretty big bird to pluck. Good thing its Thanksgiving time and I'm bored, anyway. Trump accuses the MSM of being fake news so that ignorant (those who are not paying attention) people won't know who nor what to trust. But Trump's msg is correct, simply because he says so. Don't you get it? Trump is a con man who is trying to out-message the messengers. It's propaganda that Trump uses as a smoke screen to conceal his criminal behavior. Yes, I said criminal. Bribery and extortion are crimes and offences. Trump admitted it and provided the evidence. Impeachment proceedings take a lot of time, but are moving along in a very thorough manner, as it should. There is a tremendous amount of evidence to be gathered and analyzed. Schiff is handling it properly. No charges have 'stuck' on Trump, because not charges have been placed against him, mostly because of Mueller's assertion that a sitting president can't be indicted for a crime. Nevertheless, the noose is inevitably tightening around his neck, as witnesses are subpoenaed to testify against him. But, Pelosi knows that she must present her case to the senate for trial, so it has to be air tight, with overwhelmingly indisputable evidence that would shame a snake, before it would get a 60% approval for removal from office, with the coming election that would settle the matter in the court of public opinion. In other words, the best Dems can do is make Trump stink so badly by next Nov that voters would puke before supporting a mob boss. Then, Trump goes to jail, because he no longer has presidential immunity. And everyone lived happily ever after. Good night. I have a problem with the argument that no one is honest, just because previous people have been dishonest. I judge the trustworthiness of others, based upon their sincerity, their message, their motivations, and their objectives. Con men are always very charming, telling you exactly whatever you want to hear. They will make you win so much that you can't stand it anymore. Tulsi has a track record of 16 years of serving our country in the National Guard, 2 ME tours, prior to 3 terms working across party lines in the senate. Tulsi's agenda is a righteous one of eliminating DC corruption, regime change wars, and caring for US internally. Where do you see any BS or selfish motivations in that? I see it as a good shot of pride in leadership that Americans desperately need. You speak of greatness. Let's have a little trip down memory lane to recall how we became so freacking awesome, shall we? Rut-roh.🤐 Yeah, free unlimited natural resources, once we annihilated those pesky natives with overwhelmingly more powerful weapons. Then there was the slave labor, which most white folks would rather forget. Oh, but you are talking about our great invincible military machine that freed Europe from Hitler's death hold. Okay, that's one point for you. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, USA is the only nation to attack civilians with nuclear weaponry. Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria... All shameful mistakes, ruthless waste of lives and resources. Speaking of wasted lives and resources, we shoot 40,000 of ourselves to death every year and are the most irresponsible nation, wasting energy and polluting everything. Internationally, our allies despise us because America is reneging on agreements with allies, abandoning fellow freedom fighters to be slaughtered by dictators and pandering to Putin and Kim. So, please explain to me which of these shameful actions make America so damn great. (chirp-chirp)

  3672.  @ucdwags00  Same here. Garland belongs on the SCOTUS bench, instead of being a cowardly AG, who turned a bind eye from tRump's incitement of Jan 6, for 2 years, even after the House Select Committee did the DOJ's job and presented him 3 televised public hearings with overwhelming evidence of tRump's guilt. Garland's willful ignorance enabled MAGA to infiltrate Congress during the 2022 midterms, with the likes of MTG, Looney Blowbutt, Mad pedophile Gaetz, Paul Gosar and the rest of tRump's 'loyalist' know-nothing, do-nothing saboteurs who have attempted to impeach Biden, Majorkas, default on paying their own bills, shutdown our government, and replaced their own speaker McCarthy with MAGA Mike, who takes orders from citizen tRump to refuse putting the most comprehensive, conservative, tri-partisan negotiated Border security bill on the House floor for an up/down vote, which would have otherwise been approved by both chambers and signed into law, 6 months ago! Congress' gridlock and chaotic infighting are ALL because of Garland's cowardice to take on tRump. So, he simply passed the threats on to Jack Smith's family, which only enabled Eileen Cannon to completely dismiss tRump's stolen documents case, which includes charges of espionage. If Garland had performed his duties, Dems would be in control of both houses of Congress, tRump would already be in prison, and MAGA would be back under their rocks of darkness. I BLAME GARLAND FOR ALL OF AMERICA'S PROBLEMS! TRUMP'S A TRAITOR!! GARLAND IS HIS ENABLER!!

  3682. Parents ween their children on violent VR video games until they are addicted to the dopamine rush for achieving the highest kill scores. By the time those kids are teenagers, they have become intimately familiar and skilled in the usage of nearly every weapon on earth, especially ARs. They have already become desensitized to mass killing and relish creating as much virtual mayhem as possible. Furthermore, these kids spend every waking moment on their game console, instead of participating in character building activities, such as sports, where in addition to getting physical exercise to build healthy bodies, they also learn to social skills, the advantages of teamwork, good sportsmanship, winning and losing gracefully. Without those activities, many kids become more socially isolated and introverted, literally living in a the security of a fantasy world, where there are no consequences and no bullies too big to defeat. Ill-equipped to deal with life, these kids are the easy targets of bullies. No doubt, they think, "If I had an AR, I'd take care of those bullies.", then "You just wait a few months, until I'm 18. I'll show you who's the boss." IF there's still a Dad around, most tech their kids how to hunt, "like a real man, because it builds character" by unnecessarily killing a harmless wild animal and watching it die from your own actions. Then, dismiss any thoughts of guilt, while decapitating it, gutting it, skinning it, butchering it, and eating it. Yeah, yeah. Spare me the "well, you eat meat, don't you?" BS. that's what domestic animals are raised for. Wildlife are already struggling to survive loss of habitat, without being hunted down with pheromones, game cams, camouflage, telescopic sites, and semi-automatic military weapons. Where's the fair sportsmanship in that?

  3742.  @Jesussaves.808  Thank you for engaging me with this respectful debate. I am more than pleased to oblige in kind. Yes, Christianity is undeniably a religion , with it's roots in the Old Testament of Judaism, which was originally passed down by word of mouth through millennia and thousands of generations. "Father, what is that rumbling from the sky?" "Well son, that is god telling you that he is angry with you for not eating your veggies." It is all about using an omnipotent, invisible, deity of wrath to control weaker minds of sheeple, based upon blind faith. "Better watch out , better not cry... Santa Claus is making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out whose naughty or nice... He sees you when you're sleeping..." It is all about indoctrination from birth. A year is a lifetime for children to wait for their final reward. Meanwhile, they had better behave. But, some people never mature to realize that it is all a lie. FYI, I grew up in a Christian home, have read the contradictory Bible, competed in church bible quizzes, sang in the choir and was Sunday school class president, until I became old enough to recognize the hypocrisy. Then I spent decades on a sojourn, investigating numerous religions, teachings of gurus, and the philosophy of The Buddha's Dhammapada, the philosophy of honorable, mindful behavior in search of divine truth. But only found mankind's greedy fingerprints all over those teachings, in order to collect tithes and power. That is exactly what you are participating in by preaching to others... with divine authority, "Go ye throughout the world to teach the words of Jesus." whether we want it or not. It's nothing less than disrespectful and condescending. I don't need to know how the Universe came into being. But that doesn't prove the existence of your divine creator, neither. There is undeniable archeological evidence of evolution, that the human species evolved from ape-like creatures through interbreeding of many hominoids to become modern man, with a mixture of all those genetic characteristics. Which has contributed to our intelligence for survival. These scientific facts, you can't deny. I know precisely the undeniable identity of the ultimate, omnipotent, eternal, creator and destroyer of all things in the universe, from the smallest hydrogen atom to the solar systems. It's name is Time. Every heartbeat of every being that has ever lived/will ever live must be in accordance with Time, which determines the moment of birth, sensory awareness, expression, hunger, thirst, defecation, urination, comprehension, education, graduation, procreation, degradation. and death. Over Time, colliding tectonic plates raise mountains. Over Time, those mountains erode back into the seas. Success is 100% dependent upon observing the signs of Time. Ignorance of them results in inevitable failure. Past civilizations understood this. That is why they built solar clocks, like Stonehenge in order to know when to sow and harvest. But worshipping the sun, moon and stars was nothing more than respecting the clocks of Time. "Time is of the essence" "A proper Time for everything." "It's only a matter of Time' "Time to get up." "Time is running out." "A Time for work, a Time to rest, a Time to laugh ,a Time to cry" These common old sayings have been expressed since the the beginnings of mankind, without ever understanding that they are all referring t the god of Time. You have 0 proof that mankind has a soul, that there is an eternal afterlife of heavenly rewards, nor fiery brimstone of hell for the wicked. We are no different from every other species that have been evolving over Time. As a matter of fact, worms and maggots are more beneficial to maintaining the Earth's eco systems than the mindless, narcissistic, destructive behavior of mankind, with an insatiable appetite for power and wealth to feed the ego. Don't preach to me about your superior morality, while I am a hermit, who has rejected this mindless violent society to live in harmony with nature. Let me teach you about the laws of Yin and Yang, the left and right hands of Time... another Time. I anxiously await to read your superstitious reply.

  3752. How has this happened to US? #1: Producers of 'The Apprentice' created a false image of bankrupted business idiot being a mogul genius. #2: Uneducated viewers fell for that fake image, w/o knowing the man. #3: 9 years' worth US vs Them rallies, demonizing the media, immigrants, and 1/2 of US citizens to amuse an anarchistic cult of deplorable people. #4: MSM, especially Faux Spews, followed by others (CNN, OAN, ...) for ratings, only acquiesced by feeding his ego with both sides narratives and constant free airplay of every fart. Their simpleminded irresponsible reporting simply normalized, propagated, and promoted the nonsense to the masses for free. #5: Russia, China, and enemy trolls exploited social media algorithms to create echo chambers of harmful conspiracies to millions of followers, who are too lazy and ignorant to fact check for learning the truths. #6: tRump is an expert conman, who knows how to recognize easy marks, like the under educated and Evangelicals of blind faith. He is nothing more than a shitshowman, who spews lying rhetoric to fearmonger in order to whip his crowds into a frenzy of potential violence, primed to attack his rivals. Instead of recognizing the biblical AntiChrist, from their pulpits ministers and priests preach to their congregations that this deceiver is the 'divine Chosen One, sent by god to save our nation from evil'. #7: The DOJ has completely failed to uphold our laws, most notably by the cowardly incompetence of A G Garland, who has turned a blind eye from blatant criminal acts of treason, which has enabled MAGA to sabotage our Congress and empowered tRump to defiantly rally his cult. Garland could have ended this nightmare 2 1/2 years ago. Now, tRup will completely escape being prosecuted of treason, after sharing top secret classified nuclear defense documents with our global enemies. Now, Garland's job will be given to Eileen cannon, as a reward for dismissing that espionage case. THIS IS HOW THE DOWNFALL OF OUR GREAT NATION HAS COME TO PASS...UNDER THE GUISE OF MAGA. DU~UH.

  3776. 'Morning, Texas Paul. After joining you with my usual cup of Mexican coffee, I'd like to add my understanding of the Faux Spews' China oil matter. My 1st exposure to it was from a tRumptarded comment under the globally broadcast WH press briefing. 'Biden should be in prison for treason over sending our oil reserves to China!" My independent fact checking revealed that our oil is being sold on the global market at record high prices. Presumably, that oil will be replaced by domestic suppliers at minimal prices, because we have been subsidizing their search for more reservoirs. IOW, we're going to make a substantial profit, while relieving the supply/demand imbalance, which will lower prices at the pumps for consumers. The majority of those barrels from our reserves is being sent to Europe to offset their sanctions against Russian oil. Furthermore, China is one of Russia's primary oil customers, which undermines the NATO sanctions against Russian oil. Apparently there was an agreement to supply China with an alternative supply, IF they stopped buying from Russia. Apparently, this is the reasoning for taking that action, except China hasn't stopped buying from Russia, yet. I really appreciate your level headed, calm, no hyperbolic BS delivery of the truth Paul. You are truly an asset to the Meidas Touch channel. Shout out to Leigh, of PoliticsGirl, who is also a fav of mine. That girl is all fired up and always ready to go with her extensive research on current right wing BS.. TBH, I've been avoiding the brothers lately, because they've gotten deeper into questionably exaggerated rhetoric with certain guests for my liking. I'm done with the divisive one party vs the other BS. That's only politics, as our Founders intended. But, I'm 100% a never-tRumper, and a daily keyboard warrior against his anarchist cult. But, with your glowing praise, I'll give the Meidas bros another shot. BR & please keep on keeping on your work for our nation. Oops, my Mexican coffee is getting cold. 😎

  3808.  @leveljoe  Thank you for your time and respectful, but misguided reply. It provides me with hope that we can have a serious civil debate regarding guns, more generally regardless of whether they are ghost or legal. 2nd amendment rights and your typical points are not simple matter to discus fully. I have nothing better to do, so I suggest grabbing a beer, bong, or whatever your poison of preference may be. Mine is vaping 80% THC, but my tolerance is so high that it is a waste of money. So, let's get started, point by point. * "Are you trying to sound smart?" No, I'm not trying to pretend being smart. I'm simply exercising my 1st amendment right of free speech to ask folks like yourself obvious questions to make common sense points. * "People need weapons to defend themselves" Not true. "People who live in fear cling to their guns," Obama correctly stated. I say that only pussies need guns to protect themselves against other pussies with guns. Then pussies need bigger guns. 🙄 Simply use the brains we were born with to stay out of trouble. 'Stand your ground'? BS excuse for a gunman to kill. Step aside or walk around. It shouldn't become a matter of life or death. *"..and oppose a corrupt government." Seriously? Civilian AR pea shooters VS A10s & F-35s? FYI: "n the fiscal year of 2025, the United States Air Force is estimated to have 1,295 fighters at their disposal. Additionally, the U.S. Air Force look to have 223 tankers and 114 bombers at their disposal.Aug 27, 2024" Rots-a-ruck, Rambo.

  3809.  @leveljoe  *"The fact that you asked that tells me you're not American or a child." Please allow me to introduce myself instead of presuming to whom you are addressing. As I've mentioned, I grew up in the mid west, on a farm, with a .22 Remington single shot bolt action rifle. With gun in hand, I went on imaginary 'hunt and kill' missions in the woods. Every bird and wild animal was moving target practice to hone my survival skills. I know very well what a gun does to a person's mindset. Fight or flight? A person with a gun will charge headlong into volatile situations, like public spousal abuse, to bully the abuser into submission. Take away the gun and most folks would simply intervene to stop the abuse or phone the police and the situation wouldn't escalate into anyone getting killed. One less gun = one less murder. *' England did not prohibit the possession of arms," Yes they did, as well as raping virgin brides in accordance with monarchical laws. There was increasing civil unrest so the British became fearful of an impending revolution and started confiscating firearms, which only escalated matters more. *"...and the framers added the Second Amendment for the citizens to oppose their own government should it become corrupt. " Anarchistic' BS. 1970: Nixon's corrupt government ordered the Ohio National Guard opened fire upon Kent State Nam protestors & killed 4? I grew up 60 miles from Kent state and graduated from high school that year. Everyone in my community had had guns, mostly for hunting, but not one citizen picked up arms to take on the National guard. Instead, the public was horrified, Nixon was impeached, and civilian voters elected less corrupt leaders of government, just as the framers originally intended, without a single shot needing to be fired. The framers' very 1st Amendment specifically grants We the People the rights of free speech to protest against our own government, instead of needing to take up arms to overthrow it, regardless of religion, race, or creed.. *"The 2A, at its writing, allowed citizens to own the same arms as any army (ships, canons, repeating arms, muskets, swords, everything). Most of the weapons used by Americans in the Revolutionary War were privately owned. And the framers intended those weapons of war to be in the hands of citizens AND the standing military. " The standing military was only established the year prior to the framers' writing of the Constitution, insufficient time for our fledgling government to manufacture and distribute official weaponry to mostly volunteer troops, who improvised by using their own. But, very few had heavy weaponry, like cannons, Gatlin guns, etc. Then came the civil war of cousins vs cousins facing off against each other. Wonderful history, eh? Kinda what we're in the brink of today, no thanks to trump, eh? *" Do you seriously expect a corrupt government's own military to overthrow itself?' No, that's why our framers mandated the We the People be protected by a civilian elected Commander in Chief, isn't it?

  3810.  @leveljoe  *"That's not logical. That's why our citizens are allowed to possess the same weapons of war." Yes, and now we are witnessing the consequences of those illogical & misguided policies. Those weapons of war are being sold to immature, untrained, emotionally unstable teenagers, who have been weened from toddlers on computer games to become proficient in the usage of every weapon imaginable and each one's fire power, For every waking moment, those kids are stuck in front of those virtual 'baby sitters' by their busy parents, to play inside virtual killing fields, while becoming dopamine junkies receiving hits for higher kills scores. "Great shooting, Son!" Without exercise and social interactions, such as team sports, where coping skills, like how to win and lose gracefully are learned, many of those kids are isolated, become introverted, and get picked on by school bullies. "If I could only get my hands on a real AR, like Dad's, I'd teach them all a lesson they would never forget." "But, little Billy has always been such a quiet little angel. I can't understand why he would do such a terrible thing." /smh Conditioning? Being desensitized by committing virtual mayhem? Unable to discern between virtual reality and reality, you reckon? Mass shootings and most gun violence in 'Merica is a cultural dis-ease, from glorifying gunslingers on afternoon western series, WWII battles, F Troop, Rat Patrol, Rambo, Star Wars, .... and now participating virtually. Australians immediately put an end to school shootings, after their 1st, by handing in of all their assault rifles to be destroyed. Problem solved by common sense.

  3811.  @leveljoe  * "Think what you want of militias, but that is what's keeping Ukraine out of Russian hands." More BS. Ukrainians are defending themselves with DIY Kamakazi drones and western alliances' support of military weaponry. Plus Russia's economy is being crippled by sanctions and oil embargos. Putin's invasion is unsustainable and doomed to failure. *"As for J6, that was a protest, not an insurrection." BFS! it was a completely illegal barbaric attack upon the US Capitol by anarchists, white supremacists, and organized militias. to stop the Congressional ceremony of confirm the results of our secure and fair election. It was a failed attempt of insurrection, ordered by a corrupt, impeached, whoremongering, silver-spoon-fed, con man, who is still 'fighting like hell' to keep his sorry ass out of prison by clinging onto Executive immunity against being prosecuted. #"The protestors were not armed, " They had weapons stashed in a van, ready for deployment and 2 bombs stashed in the bushes. They defiled Ole Glory by using her flagpole as spears, they were armed with bear spray. "Get rid of the magnetometers. They're now here to harm me." *"and they went home on their own." They only went home 4 hours later, after tRump told them to "go home peacefully," before the National Guard arrived to hurt his MAGA cult. *"No one was charged with insurrection. No one." Why are hundreds still sitting in DC jail? Why hasn't Garland prosecuted the Congressional MAGA loyalist for their seditious conspiracies, leading up to tRump's 'wild rally'? Why is tRump's prosecution in DC only just beginning? Why did Aileen Cannon dismiss his charges of espionage over stealing (and selling) top secret nuclear defense docs? Let's talk about the corrupt DOJ, and SCOTUS, who have been shielding tRump from imprisonment. I guarantee that Chutkan will take down Mafioso don, the 2-bit con and so will Harris. *" Hyperbole..." Yeah right... *"Where did I say anything about schools?' You didn't. I did. *"Where did I say it is acceptable?" You comments imply that, because you refuse to suggest any solutions. *"Murder is already illegal, and yet they still do it. Guns are illegal in most of Europe, and yet mass attacks still happen." No they're not. I lived 10 years in England during the '80s, when a woman could safely walk down the streets of Soho during the middle of the night without fear. Bobbies didn't carry guns, but only had nightsticks, whistles and walkie talkies. There was only one mass shooter somewhere in Scandinavia, prior to the Muslim knife attacks. *"It's not guns, it's evil people who find a way to harm innocent people." Mankind is historically an apex predator, capable of horrific means of torture.... most often over religious rivalries. 'THOU SHALL NOT KILL." Commanded the common god of Israel, Muslims, and Jews. So, they have been murdering each other in that same god's name for over 2000 years, just as we're witnessing in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran. *"Let's protect our children like we protect anything else that's valuable." With guns, barbed wire around schools, locked doors, active shooter drills, and superstitious prayers of desperation?" *"My guns have never hurt anyone." But, you only own them, with the premediated purpose of killing anyone of whom you perceive as a threat to you or your family, right? You simply haven't been in that position, yet. But, wouldn't hesitate to grab your gun and use it, if you ever were. *"Nice try though..." Come back with some viable solutions to stop the killing, in order to finish this debate, when you think you can prove me wrong. Enjoyed the exchange. Can't wait to witness tRump losing the election, then being escorted into prison. Wonder if they'll use gold plated handcuffs. He has already talked about going to Venezuela for exile, just like Hitler's Nazi war criminals. His father was KKK, with a Nazi business partner, you know. That's why the Neo-Nazis and white nationalists love him so much. '...very fine people," tRump calls them. Looking forward to your reply, after investing my day on this exchange. 😎

  3812.  @leveljoe  I would hardly call those volumes of debunking points "one breath". Nor did I say anything like your takeaway from those debunking of your previous assertions.. Are you retired military, with insider knowledge of resource weaknesses? Now, you're the one sounding like a child, with a hyperactive imagination of personal power. I'm saying that our nation doesn't need disorganized rag-tag weekend warrior private militias, who are nothing more than MAGA enemies within, attacking our government on behalf of a notorious, life-long, lying, cheating, whoremongering, adulterous, 34 count convicted felon of fraud, and traitor who refused to step down, because 81 million voters had already kicked his sorry ass out of our Oval office. On one breath, you demand the protection of the 2nd. In that same breath, you support the traitor and wannabe dictator, who has already stated that he wants to tear up our framers' Constitutional laws. You can't have that both ways. are you a patriotic, law abiding US citizen or a traitor within, whose sole intention is to destroy the US government? FYI, WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. There is no US vs the US government. If we don't like our leaders, then we vote them out via civilized elections, NOT by anarchy, weapons, and barbaric brute force. The majority hates tRump, stood together as the UNITED States, and got rid of him with a mere stroke of a pen on a ballot. If you have a problem with majority rule then you don't believe in the good, fair, and decent values that have defined US for over 250 years, We the People choose our civilian POTUS, who serves our needs, regardless of political party, religion, color, or creed, just as our framers intended. We have a civilian Commander in Chief over all branches of our military to protect US against all foreign enemies, who would/have harmed US. Yes, you're correct about keeping the peace being more difficult than waging wars. President Biden has mindfully and skillfully stood toe to toe against Putin, warned him to not invade Ukraine and Putin is suffering the consequences of ignoring the warnings of our POTUS. On the other hand, leaders, like Bush/Cheney, under the advice of pentagon war hawks, would have ordered troops onto Ukraine's soil, with overwhelming weaponry of force and triggered WW III, after Putin had already threatened the use of nukes against NATO. Diplomatic solutions, establishing strong alliances, and leading them is even more difficult. Yet, 'Old Man Biden' has brilliantly achieved all of those goals. Forget about Israel, because Netanyahu has gone completely rogue with murdering millions of civilians and refuses to listen to anyone's peace talks. He will also pay the consequences, eventually. Thanks to Biden's mindful leadership, our lives have been restored, but not perfect because of corporate opportunistic price gouging, after their supply chain disruptions have been solved. You can't blame their greed on Biden, within a free market economic structure. If the government started controlling prices, then you would be crying 'fascists'! Haven't you been paying attention to the reporting over the radical right wing's fascist mandate of Project 2025? Have you never taken an 8th grade Civics class that covers how the US government is structured with checks and balances to avoid authoritarian rule? Look it. You can kiss tRump's ass as much as you like and I couldn't care less. I like Lewis Black... as a comedian, but wouldn't vote for him to become POTUS. Yet, he would be a helluva lot better than the idiot traitor tRump, who only listens to whomever gives him a hug and pledges their loyalty to him over party and national security. Get real, get educated, and woke TF up, trumptards! I had hoped for a reasonable exchange, but you are nothing more than a waste of my time and effort.

  3855. The 'godfather' summoned all of the Congressional Republicans into the Oval Office as soon as he arrived. Trump understands that 'every an has his price' and has the resources to pay it. Obviously, he gave them an offer they couldn't refuse. His 'embrace' sealed their oath of allegiance to him, above party and nation. That's why he has absolute control over the Senate and House Republicans. Woe to anyone who breaks their vow by not holding the Trump Party line. Yes, I said Trump Party because he owns the Republicans. This is the only possible explanation for their shameless behavior throughout the impeachment proceedings. This is also the only explanation of McConnell's public statement that he would follow the White House counsel's guidance and that there is 0 chance of impeachment passing the Senate. This is illegal and unconstitutional. After the backlash of a failed impeachment, Trump will win the election, Dems will lose the House and a vindicated Trump will be unstoppable. Within only 4 years, Trump and his motley mob of Cabinet henchmen will have successfully conducted a coup against our democracy, without firing a shot. He has already floated ending term limits and is poised to become America's first dictator. Of course, his ego would prefer the title of 'King of the World.' Then, his heirs in waiting could inherit his 'kingdom'. Bada-bing. Just like that. You think I'm crazy? Who's gonna stop him? His only check on power is the Dem controlled House and they have already failed, simply because everyone dismissed it as only a hyper-partisanship. Guess again. Tick-tock.......(crickets chirping)

  3863.  @lesliedotheyllneverknow3510  The CIA extracted the spy (aka Putin's personal US foreign policy adviser) from Russia in January 2017, just as Trump became POTUS. The spy had been reporting to the CIA on Russian interference in our election, specifically the collusion between Putin and Trump. His extraction was necessary out of fear that Trump would expose him to Putin, which would have undoubtedly caused the spy's death. Pompeo, is Trump's new puppet head of the CIA. He (as well as all of Trump's other puppets) will say whatever Trump wants him to say. Otherwise, he would lose his job, just like anyone else who defies this mafia-style boss. Under this administration, one either pledges loyalty to Trump (above country) or faces his wrath. "Trump has did nothing to attack the first amendment" Trump doesn't directly attack the Constitution, because that would lose support from his base. But, he attacks and attempts to discredit our free press (and democrats) at every rally. "it is the left and Dems and big tech that is censoring media across America" That 's pure nonsense. "What party is trying to amend the first and second amendment the Dems not Trump." More nonsense. Yes, Dems are trying to stop the disgraceful gun violence that kills 40,000 Americans every year. But, they are working within Constitutional law, Congressional authority, and the electoral process in order to accomplish that. Trump and 'his' Republican party cares nothing about the Constitution. That's why the courts repeatedly shoot down his crazy executive orders. Leslie, neither of us will ever come close to changing the other's mind. For now, that only leaves us with the option of agreeing to disagree. But, Trump's lawlessness has energized Dems to turn out like a tsunami against him, on election day. We represent the majority of voters, so he will lose in the landslide. Meanwhile, he will lose most of the current lawsuits against him and the numerous Congressional investigations will expose his crimes against our nation. I hope you have a big crying towel. I'll be watching with some popcorn. You have my sympathy and regards.😎

  3869.  @lesliedotheyllneverknow3510  Been waiting for your reply, but didn't receive a notification.🤔 Started feeling guilty about my comments about kicking our kids out @ 18. Thought maybe it hit you a little too close to home. I apologize if that is the case. Of course, I was speaking in general terms, not personally. I was going to send you excerpts from a Politico article, which you inspired me to fact check America's annual contributions to NATO. You were correct about us contributing more, although so did other members and the increase is very modest. The article, along with many others, debunks Trump's claim of 70%-90% of NATO funding. His figures actually reflect America's total military budget worldwide. You can Google it for yourself, if you wish. Now, you sound as if you are speaking as a European, on behalf of Europeans. How long have you lived in Europe? Are you there serving in the military and living on base, surrounded by and mainly socializing with other American troops? I only ask because your comments don't reflect any European attitudes that I have ever heard. Most of them view us as the 'ugly Americans', because of our arrogance, spoiled childlike whining about everything (slow restaurant service, for example), and mostly because being military bullies throughout the world. Yes, I know that Europe has been overwhelmed with Muslim refugees and immigrants, which has changed a lot of attitudes. GB is going through its Brexit and economic crisis. But, the England I remember was very multicultural, with many bi-racial marriages. Even the Bobbies didn't carry guns back then. Yanks and Aussies were still their 'colonial cousins'. "The only problem with Yanks is that they are over-paid,over-sexed, and over 'ere." (Carry over from WWII, when our soldiers used chocolate Hershey bars to lure the Lasses into bed, while their husbands were fighting Hitler in Europe.) If you believe that the USA is no longer a racist country, then you must not be aware of the proliferation of white nationalists and KKK uprisings since Trump has been in office. He actually encourages them. Only last week, two white UofA students were arrested after beating up a black student, for no reason. Yeah, I fully understand the purpose of the 2nd amendment, which was written shortly after the Revolutionary War, when settlers were carrying muskets. But, I really doubt that the Founding Fathers foresaw it being used to enable fellow Americans to kill 40,000 of our own countrymen every year. Besides, most assault rifles with 100 round magazines and bump stocks are owned by extremists to defend themselves against our own government (as if those weapons would stand a chance against our military). It's purely ignorant misguided madness. My views towards Russia has nothing to do with the MSM. Putin is a ruthless oligarch. He is playing Trump like a fiddle. So is Xi and Kim. Nuf said, for now.

  4020. Wikipedia: "Personal life Since becoming a public figure, Boebert has told reporters that her parents divorced when she still lived in Altamonte Springs. But no father is listed on her birth certificate, nor are there records of such a divorce in Seminole County. Boebert's mother filed multiple paternity suits between 1987 and 1990 alleging that pro wrestler Stan Lane is Boebert's father. A paternity test Lane took in 1990 ruled him out as the father, and the suit was dismissed. In 2012 Boebert's mother sent the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation a letter asking for further investigation, but there is no record that the bureau took any action. A Twitter account attributed to Boebert's mother and comments attributed to Boebert and her mother on YouTube videos and blog posts between 2008 and 2013 continued to allege that Lane is Boebert's father and argue with an account attributed to Lane's wife, Maria.[123] Boebert and her husband Jayson live in Silt, Colorado.[124] Before they opened a restaurant, Jayson Boebert worked in oil and gas fields.[7] They have four sons.[16] She became a born-again Christian in 2009.[17] In 2010, Boebert's neighbors called police because they believed her pit bulls were threatening their dogs. Boebert received a ticket for dog code violations.[125] In 2015, Boebert was cited for misdemeanor disorderly conduct at a music festival for telling officers that their arrest of a couple of underage drinkers was unconstitutional because the teenagers had not received Miranda warnings. As she was being handcuffed, according to deputies' reports, Boebert tried to twist away from police, saying that "she had friends at Fox News" and that the arrest would be "national news." She twice failed to appear in court on the charge. The petty offense was dismissed because the Mesa County district attorney's office believed a jury would not convict her.[126] In 2016, Boebert was cited for careless driving and operating an unsafe vehicle. On February 13, 2017, she was arrested and booked in Garfield County Jail for failure to appear in court on these charges. She pleaded guilty to the unsafe vehicle charge." smh

  4098.  @jillfeatherman5523  Thank you for the data. I like facts and figures, if they're true. I remember the Cares Act being a Dem stimulus package, pushed through Congress by Pelosi and Schumer. When tRump signed it, he made side notes, disagreeing with certain terms, which is unConstitutional. The edits should have been returned to Congress for their approval. One of the provisions was to have a Congress appointed Inspector General overseeing the distribution of funds, to ensure small businesses were the recipients. Trump fired the IG and put Mnuchin in charge, who dished out most of the funding to his corporate crony political donors, like trick or treat candy. When exposed, Mnuchin asked some of the funds to be returned and correctly given to the struggling businesses it was intended for. Republicants opposed both bills and McConnell lowered the second distribution to your $900B figure. Yes, I remember tRump signing the $1200 stimulus checks, as if the taxpayers own money were from him, personally. He always takes credit for other people's accomplishments, such as developing the vaccines in record time. "Operation Warp Speed! Woohoo! smh He didn't even put on a lab coat. Warp Speed was headed by Jared, who hired a bunch of his incompetent cronies that failed miserably. In November, tRump's Big Lie gained traction, numerous official recounts took place and Rudy made a fool of himself trying to convince nonpartisan courts of election fraud, which was dismissed by 60 due to lack of evidence. During December, AG Barr resigned rather than implicate the DoJ in the Big Lie. tRump's administration was refusing to release classified information for the transfer of Executive power to Biden's. tRump had neglected replenishing stocks of masks and PPE supplies, which had been depleted by Ebola during Obama's term. He had also dismantled the department of Customs and Immigration. So, Biden started out with no supplies and no vaccine distribution networks. Refugees were stranded in primitive camps along the Mexican side of the border, without drinking water, food, income, utilities, toilets, electricity, nor shelter from the severe winter (remember the Texas power outage?) They became easy prey for the publicized human traffickers and drug cartels. This was unnecessary and inhumane. Those who made it to BP facilities weren't being processed by ICE, because it no longer existed. Biden took the blame and took care of the problem. ICE is functioning and refugees are being processed, again. I'll have to fact check your 1.6 mil vaccinations per day by Jan 20th data. How many of those 206,000 deaths were people who refused to wear masks, get vaccinated, nor practice CDC guidelines? Those are the only ones still dying now. "Everything you claim Biden has done for you only looks better than before because you are a blue team no matter who kind of person" Now, you've gone too far. You have no idea what my political position is, nor who I am. "who can’t seem to be objective about anything not on that team." The Hermit is not a team player. I'm an independent, obviously well informed individual who watches the world everyday from my wireless connection. I only want what's best for my country, regardless of political label. I'm as moderate as any other normal US citizen. But, I won't sit silent while a mafioso mob boss/wannabe dictator/king of the world overthrows our democracy. I could write another chapter on tRump's incompetence and corruption. But, been there & done that too much already. "Grow up." That arrogant condescension is entirely uncalled for. It was a civil debate, until your finale. FYI, I'm 68 years old and comfortably retired on SS and an earned pension. smh

  4099.  @Queenwraith  All professionals give speeches via teleprompt. But, tRump could never stay on message. All US Presidents have minders, personal assistants, and Secret Service agents everywhere for security. No one is telling Biden not to answer. His little joke about getting into trouble is only because he is self conscious about his speech impediment and doesn't like public speaking. That's his excuse for stopping. Old people carry notes, instead of personal organizers or cell phones. Hasn't been a problem for 3 centuries, until now. Biden was a huge success at the UN for putting the USA back in charge of the free world. He also confronted Putin about cyber attacks and election meddling. Yeah, kick an old man, why don't you? If you play your cards right and get vaccinated, you might live that long yourself. Old equals experience and sound judgement. tRump understood absolutely nothing about representing the entire population, only his team, as if it is some winner take all game. He shits on anyone whom he can't use for wealth or attention. tRump can't even drink from a glass, which is an indication of paralysis from a stroke. He is a political idiot, undisciplined, rude, vindictive, narcissistic, and extremely volatile. Those are not the traits of a public servant and world respected POTUS. But, none of this even touchs on the point of tRump's mafioso mob boss behavior, straight out of the Godfather movies. He is surrounded by lackies and henchmen, has absolutely no moral core, and destroys everyone and everything in his path. Thanks to tRump, we've had an insurrection, Nazis and radicalized white nationalists marching through our streets and an obstructive Republican party that kills every bill in Congress, pushes the Big Lie, undermines the credibility of US elections and our democracy, and believes in BS Qanon conspiracies that Dems eat babies! WTF!! No integrity whatsoever. GQP is history. You seriously want more of this BS, even if accomplished by lethal force!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!

  4115.  @johnlarson5255  Thank you for the respectful advice, but no thanks. Been there, done that. But, since you're not spewing hyperbolic hateful adolescent insults at me (like most tRumptards), perhaps we can have a civil political discussion, if you can handle hearing my honest POV. First of all, please allow me to properly introduce myself, instead of presuming to know, classify, and label me based upon your own perceptions. I grew up on an Ohio farm until I graduated from HS in 1970. I was a Sunday choir singer at the Nazarene church, until I was group pressured to beg the Lord for forgiveness, just because I went to a school dance. I moved to sunny LA as soon as I graduated to check out those bikinis the Beach Boys sung about. That's when I started experimenting with drugs and questioning the status quo. I had friends from different races, including blacks, Mexicans, and Asians. After Nam and the Kent State massacre, I wasn't interested in the government nor politics. After 7 years of becoming a machinist/tool & die maker in the aircraft industry, I happened upon a change of career that took me to England for 10 years, where I met all sorts of people from all walks of life. That's when I realized that the world knows as much (if not more) about the US as we do, but from a nonAmerican perspective. I learned that our invincible military is frowned upon for invading nations for oil or nation building to impose our lifestyle upon others. Such arrogant bullies are we. I also studied alternative religions and philosophies, such as Buddhism. (Recently, I've become an atheist). Upon returning to the states ~1990, I became a computer technician at a local college for 18 years, until I retired in 2015. Now, I'm a maker of IoT devices for automated climate control of an aquaponic greenhouse. Like I aid, been there, done that. Have experienced more than enough of mankind and US society than I are to. Now, I observe it from the end of a wireless connection. smh This is my only method of communication to others, so yes, I'm a hermit by choice. I hope that blows away your condescending prejudices regarding who I am or whether you have any right to advise me about jack shit. I've read your comments and they all sound like Fox Spews divisive political propaganda. IMO, you are the one who needs to get out of your silo more often. How many Dems, blacks, Hispanics, Europeans, or Asians do you associate on a personal level? Why do you presume to know the minds of people you know nothing about? Then, you try to slice and dice them into your pigeon hole. You're a very arrogant person, aren't you? Yet, you're so naive that you still don't see through tRump's BS. The man is nothing more than a 2 bit con man, who was borne with a gold spoon up his ass. Wit an allowance of $20,000 per month, he could bully any kid in school. He is well known for cheating throughout his life, whether it was on exams, wives, bribing politicians, stiffing subcontractors, bankrupting Casinos, tax fraud, golf, Russian collusion, or his own supporters. The don behaves like a mafioso mob boss, with a team of lawyers to intimidate anyone who gets in his way. His only loyalty and trust is his own offspring, upon whom he is totally dependent. tRump is not even a good team player. He has to personally micromanage everyone and everything. He's never been held responsible for anything in his life, except for taking credit for the accomplishments of theirs. Can't stand listening to his grandiose postering and ridiculous exaggerations of himself and ruthless attacks against his foes. tRump knows absolutely nothing about the Constitution, Congressional procedures, International politics, nor nonpartisan public service; IOW, all the important essentials of being POTUS. tRump's initial maneuver was to choose the most easily corruptible political party, that could be bought. Then, he ruthlessly assaulted he other 'team' with 5 years of extremely divisive rhetoric, like. "those radical left wing socialists, who only want to take away your freedom and destroy our wonderful country" blah, blah, blah like a recording on a loop, brainwashing his weak minded, sheltered evangelicals who believed that he cared enough to help them, instead of fleecing them for donations and votes. Yes, Don the con can put on quite an amusing show.He reads his audience well and keeps spewing their red meat, seasoned however they want it. I digress. The problem with lying at public political rallies is that the MSM is recording promises, fact checking rhetoric, and reporting their opinions. So, we all saw how tRump handled the 'crooked MSM, not telling people the truth". BTW, that's typically a dictator's initial means of taking control of a country. Once no one trusts the press, who can tell the difference between truth and lies? Isn't that precisely the state of our nation following tRump's administration? Once elected, tRump surrounded himself with his hiers (to his envisioned throne!) and mob henchmen, like Giuliani, Barr, Patreas, Miller, Bannon, etc, etc. Then, tRump needed to control his Congressional nemesis of political oversight. So,he invited every Republican Congressman into the Oval office for his 'embrace' to seal their pledge of unwavering loyalty... or else. IOW, the Godfather gave them an offer they couldn't refuse. Frpm that point forward, tRump owned the Republican party and demanded their obedience, just like the NY mafia's protection racket. You know most of the rest. But, my issue is with the man and his enablers, not with people who have different POVs to myself. I hate how tRump has divided our nation to the point of civil war threats and the racial violence of his energized white nationalist supremacists. (queue BLM whataboutism, smh) There's no denying that tRump incited the Capitol insurrection attempt to obstruct the transfer of Presidential power with lethal force. How can you be so naive and blinded by his bullshit to not see these truths to be so self evident? I'm not the problem. Dems are only defending Constitutional law by holding tRump accountable. Their enemy is my enemy and for all the right reasons, human decency, law, and order. They represent and defend everything that makes America great, like helping the downtrodden, instead of dishing out $2 Trillion tax breaks to billionaires, in exchange for political donations. "Pay my campaign costs and I'll repay you with taxpayer revenues." <wink&nod> It's 5:00 am and time to crash. Later.

  4144. Mafioso don hired Walt Nauta, an ex-Navy 'personal minder' to work in the White House. Nauta admited to having uploaded photocopies of top secret classified docs (thousands?) to a cloud server during that period. Nauta moved with 'the don' to Mara Lago. Printouts of classified docs were found in tRump's office inside his desk. Hundreds of boxes of classified docs were found in non-secured areas, plus shuffled around for concealment from the DOJ, FBI, & National Archives. Logical Conclusions: A) Nauta was the gatekeeper of tRump's online secret stash of stolen classified nuclear defense docs, potentially worth unlimited wealth. B) The 'don' would appraise downloaded hard copies, prior to putting them up for auction on the global black market, then display 'proof of ownership' to potential bidders via phone cam. C) Once the highest bid was confirmed to being deposited in a clandestine tax haven account, Nauta would provide security access to the doc(s) on the cloud server, then store tRump's hard copies in the boxes at Mara Lago, as 'sales records'. D) Those 'sales records' were no longer of value to trump so he turned those boxes over to the FBI, while playing shell games to conceal the rest, which still hadn't been 'cashed in'. However, they were still found. E) While the FBI & DOJ have been sniffing around Mara Lago for hard copies, how many more are STILL stored on cloud storage, being maintained by who knows who, with mirrored sites who knows where, being hacked by Russia, China, Iran, N Korea, ...? Gee, why was mafioso don's attorney/henchman sitting in the courtroom during Nauta's testimony? 🤔

  4150. The 'godfather' summoned all of the Congressional Republicans into the Oval Office as soon as he arrived. Trump understands that 'every an has his price' and has the resources to pay it. Obviously, he gave them an offer they couldn't refuse. His 'embrace' sealed their oath of allegiance to him, above party and nation. That's why he has absolute control over the Senate and House Republicans. Woe to anyone who breaks their vow by not holding the Trump Party line. Yes, I said Trump Party because he owns the Republicans. This is the only possible explanation for their shameless behavior throughout the impeachment proceedings. This is also the only explanation of McConnell's public statement that he would follow the White House counsel's guidance and that there is 0 chance of impeachment passing the Senate. This is illegal and unconstitutional. After the backlash of a failed impeachment, Trump will win the election, Dems will lose the House and a vindicated Trump will be unstoppable. Within only 4 years, Trump and his motley mob of Cabinet henchmen will have successfully conducted a coup against our democracy, without firing a shot. He has already floated ending term limits and is poised to become America's first dictator. Of course, his ego would prefer the title of 'King of the World.' Then, his heirs in waiting could inherit his 'kingdom'. Bada-bing. Just like that. You think I'm crazy? Who's gonna stop him? His only check on power is the Dem controlled House and they have already failed, simply because everyone dismissed it as only a hyper-partisanship. Guess again. Tick-tock.......(crickets chirping)

  4196.  @Plainsburner  We weren't funding a totalitarian regime. We agreed to give the Iranians their own money that had been frozen in banks, because of our previous sanctions. IOW, we'll give you your money, if you stop making weapons grade uranium and allow independent multi-lateral inspections. The deal could have been renewed beyond 2024 and was working. Now, Iran is completely out of control and doing business with China and Russia, while harassing ships throughout their area. Russia also replaced US in Syria, reaping the rewards of our bloody efforts; same is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan. All of our dead and $Trillions spent for Putin. PCA only put nations on the right track, it didn't propose the impossible, just an agreement among nations to try their best. Fracking is only an interim step towards energy independence, as per T. Boone Pickens. The technology is available, but American will power is not. China is leaving US in their dust, with better electronics, cheaper solar panels, better battery technology, and most important: Government Funded Industries. Americans only have their own egos, professing to be more intelligent than their genetically identical forefathers from around the world. CO2 emissions have only declined because of nations being under lock down, with minimal travel. This clearly proves that mankind could easily stop global warming, simply by ditching internal combustion engines. But, it's not only CO2, there's polluted water, all of those pesticides, and GMOs in our food chains. Factory farming, plastic packaging, shipping pollution, micro-polymers in our seafood, etc, etc. Criminal justice reforms? I'm pretty sure that was a Democratic initiative. Prisons for profit where simple pot possession can be elevated to life, because of minor 'insubordination' offenses? Takes the 'captive regular customer' to another level doesn't it? How about the ICE contractors who were recently exposed for mass hysterectomies? Please, do carry on. Make your best pitch and I'll keep knocking it out of the park. This is fun.

  4198.  @Plainsburner  "Us (us us us us ) and Them (them them them them); and after all, we're all only ordinary men." Pink Floyd. IMO, all of humanity is 99.5% the same DNA, regardless of color. Racism is nothing more than petty, barbaric tribalism. Ewe, look at those weird clothes and long hair... OMG, the Jones just bought a new car, let's get down to the dealership, honey. Just like the fall of Rome, America is failing from within due its own arrogance, ignorance, and corruption. C'est la vie, right? Who cares if Trump bankrupts my Social Security by 2023? Some fat cat will scoop up my possessions for pennies on the dollar after I'm dead, right? You are truly oblivious of Trump's coup d'etat, aren't you? Wikipedia Def: "A coup or coup d'état is the removal of an existing government from power, usually through violent means. Typically, it is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, the military, or a dictator. Many scholars consider a coup d'état successful when the usurpers seize and hold power for at least seven days." "...well the obvious conclusion is that revolution is necessary to remake society..." This is what you want? You're willing to freely discard all international commitments and throw away our Constitutional laws and order out with the swamp water, only to find yourself in the middle of a cesspool... based upon Trump's empty promises and thousands of lies? WTF is wrong with you? TDS? Trump is a mad man, insane, a loose nuke, an immoral con man and I my greatest fear is that too many people, just like you are too naive to foresee the consequences of another 4 years of this BS. How many more thousands of innocent Americans have to die before you get it? I truly wish you and your family good health. But, I can tell that this conversation is just another waste of my time. Best regards.

  4241. Excellent intro monologue, Jen TBH, these election results, indicating low Dem turnout, simply don't jive with the enthusiasm we witnessed in those packed out stadiums. Was there really low dem turnout or were Dem ballots thrown out by local Republican election officials? We know that one state's election board removed mail in ballots to a remote location for presumably parsing and counting in isolation of bipartisan oversight. How many other red states did the same? We know all about the 'Green Bay Sweep' of fake electors in order to deny the majority choice of We the People. Several Red states and their election officials (as ell as Congressional seditious conspirators) were caught red handed after the 2020 election. Why wouldn't they be better organized in their cheating this time around? Why are MSM and the DNC being so high-minded that they simply accept that these suspicious results from suspicious election officials are all kosher? I also find it difficult to believe that any Dems would choose Project 2025, the denial of women's reproductive rights, and racist rhetoric over everything Kamala had offered. It simply flies in the face of their own interests, especially for Latinos and people of color. Why was tRump so lackadaisical and candid, near the end of his campaign, doing so few rallies and photo op stunts. That is clear indication of the overconfidence of someone who has a hidden ace up his sleeve and already knows that he can't lose. To further that metaphor, he can never keep a secret, without revealing his winning hand to everyone around him, prior to making his play. "We've got a secret, right Mike? But, we're not going to say what it is until after the election." Worst poker shark ever! "To catch a thief, you need to think like a thief." tRump never competes fairly and always rigs the 'table' to win. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE STENCH, DEMS! THIS IS NOT KOSHER!

  4275.  @tylerchapman9234  leftard, eh? How TF did you ever think of that, 💩? You Q-nuts always want to stick your nose into everyone's business or make up some BS reason for not being allowed. If you had the least bit of respect for the law, then you would already understand that this is an ongoing attempted murder investigation, including the attempted assassination of the Speaker of the House, who is 2nd in the line of succession to the POTUS. Therefore, in accordance with due process, the details won't become public knowledge, in order to ensure that the jury isn't biased by your social media BS. It's not a mystery, anyway. Some normal guy got sucked into the Russian Q propaganda, started believing everything he heard within his social media echo chamber, at the time of tRump's 2016 campaign. He became so confused about reality that he put his life into the hands of a morally bankrupt orange Jesus. Within his brainwashed little mind, David apparently thought that he would be a hero and take Nancy's Jan 6th Committee's heat off of tRump. David smashed the rear door glass and let himself in. Paul Pelosi went to the bathroom and phoned the police. David found Paul and demanded to know "Where's Nancy?" David proceeded to attack Paul with the hammer, until Paul got hold of it. The 2 were still wrestling over the hammer when the police arrived. Distracted by the police, Paul relaxed his grip on the hammer. David jerked it away and bashed Paul a few more times, before the police stopped him. The Police reported that a 3rd man was in the home to let them inside, when they arrived. But, despite the perverse BS from your Q-nut echo chamber there has been no further information regarding his ID, nor any involvement in the attack. Perhaps he is a butler, a neighbor who heard the door being smashed, but since he wasn't arrested, his presence is irrelevant to the case and he's guilty of no crime. Paul Pelosi is the victim of a brutal, savage attack by a deranged tRumptard with a hammer. There is no escaping that fact. These are logical deductions of the course of events, based upon official police reports, not radicalized right wing BS. What more does any reasonable person need to know? David is a deranged loser, who believed hat he was doing tRump's will, just like the Jan 6th rioters, who are already serving time in prison over tRump's BS. The End.

  4305.  @Crowcryptic  That's true. Maggots and worms can survive and even thrive, while being more beneficial to the Earth than most highly educated humans, if that's one's chosen purpose in life. For millennia, humans have lived happily as hunter/gatherers , .... prior to the industrial age and bartering instead of $. I meant no offense towards anyone, under educated or otherwise. I was making general point of advice, not about you specifically. But, I'm very happy to discuss your specific situation. Full disclosure and with some regrets, I have little more than a 55 year old high school education and have a degree in the hard knocks of life. Since you're making this about your own personal life. Who are you? 1: A teenager preparing for the 9th grade 2: A school dropout, which never looks good on job applications, while competing against college grads. From most employers' POV, that indicates being a rebel, undisciplined, a know-it all attitude, lack of initiative, ... That doesn't even address the applicant's appearance at the interview, where one is judged the harshest. 3: Perhaps you're an adult, married with children, working 2 minimum wage jobs to support yourselves? Splitting the rent in a shared apartment? Been there, done with that. Just made my final mortgage payment on my home, 100% free of debt and finally able to live the free life @ 72. I speak from >1/2 century worth life's struggles, only to become a hermit. Yes, we have our own brains, IF we have the discipline to seek out sufficient knowledge to achieve our goals. Even while retired, I'm still a student of Youtube U, learning C++, MIDI, Kicad PCB design, electronics, and I'm just finishing the development of a 100% unique laser synthesizer for creating abstract imagery synchronized to music... for fun, not profit. "No brag, just fact." Enough about myself,. Do you have legit goals, including solid plans for achieving them or only dreams? 'Possible' indicates 'against all odds', not highly probable. It is your own life to gamble with those odds. But, it is irresponsible to advocate that others will be happy and prosperous with only an 8th grade education. The point of my comment is that we live, work, and socialize (or not) within a rapidly changing competitive global economy, which requires higher education in science, math, physics, software engineering, A. I., EVs, CAD/CAM, medicine, genetic engineering,.. Those are the same skills that have made Bezos, Musk, Gates, and many others billionaires (while exploiting the undereducated). Think about it. I'd love to hear your deeper thoughts for achieving your own version of success, which constantly changes with life, conditions, and maturity. I hope you're prepared for those rollercoaster rides of ups and downs. They will happen, whether you're prepared or not. Who cares, if you don't?

  4311.  @dendriller  I'm a retired white old fart, but I salute you, my fellow American citizen for freeing yourself from the mental shackles of slavery. But, I must ask, "Does the liberated oppressed only seek vengeance against those racist oppressors of past generations?" This is exactly what white supremacists fear the most, as they watch their majority slip away. This is why the bigoted radical right-wing and misguided evangelicals have been stockpiling their arsenals in preparation for another civil war. They play whack-a-bro, to intimidate and to keep folks like you subservient and oppressed. But, I'm also stereotyping against my own race, aren't I? Please don't fall into the trap of taring an entire race with the same broad racist brush, else you become worse than the slave owners, not of today but those who have long since died in the past. Never forget, never forgive (that's god's job, says the atheist), and never prejudge others because of the color of their skin, but by their deeds and individual reputations. Your enemies are my enemies, as well, My Friend. Please stay free, while never dropping your guard. Because some of our enemies only see your face as a target. True patriots, regardless of color, need to unite against all social injustices, violence, and racism. These are everyone's Constitutional rights to live in peace and to prosper. Those ideals are what made our nation great. The don's misguided MAGATs don't even understand the meaning, much less how to MAGA. This administration is the most diverse in US history, as a deliberate attempt to ensure that our leaders represent ALL US citizens, not just whites. VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO!!!

  4336.  @johnnyraybaca1690  Why do god-fering ppl always focus upon hell and Satan, instead of living in accordance with the teachings of your Jesus? Why don't Jesus freaks believe in protecting your god's creation, instead of praying for its destruction? Why have 3 religions, who believe in the same god not follow his commandment of, "Thou shall not kill" and instead have spent the past 2000 years killing each other? How could have your god created everything 5000 years ago, when 6 billion year old fossil remains have been found and carbon dated? Do you seriously believe that there was no hanky-panky going on between Joseph and Mary that resulted in her pregnancy? Do you seriously believe that the Christians who claimed to have seen Jesus disappear into the heavens, weren't simply grave robbers, who were caught after relocating the lifeless corpse of Jesus? Why do you believe in the hallucinogen induced dream of Revelations, but not those that millions of others have had since? Here's my warning to you, Pastor John. There's no eternal soul, because human beings are mortal animals, who have evolved alongside all other lifeforms. There is no afterlife, no heavenly reward, no fiery eternal hell, no angels, and no demons. You only get one shot at life, just like every other lifeform. The only eternal, omnipotent god is called Time, pre-alpha. post-omega, controlling everything every lifeform does, from birth to propagation, to death. To ignore time is to inevitably fail, being prepared ahead of time results in success. Time is relentless; you can neither stop it nor reverse it. Yet, it is oblivious to everything. Pray to time, if you please. It will answer just as often as any other god.

  4340.  @techfoolcasey4348  BS Detection 101: As soon as you hear politicians demonizing the other party (1/2 of US citizens), then you know that it's BS. As soon as you hear hyperbolic trash talk to make a point, then you know that it's BS. As soon as you see trolls attacking the WH Press Secretary 's personal appearance and mannerisms and/or calling her a liar, then you know that those are know-nothing tRumptarded liars, spewing nothing but Faux BS. As soon as you see attacks against President Biden's son, Hunter, then you know that it is a BS nothing burger. As soon as you see criticisms of Biden's handling of tRump's pre-arranged departure of our troops from Afghanistan, then you know that it's BS (10 soldiers were killed by one 'lucky' suicide bomber+ 13 civilians were mistakenly killed by a drone strike, due to bad intel. 1800 Americans were shot & killed EVERY 3 weeks in their own 'safe' neighborhoods. The only Americans left behind chose to ignore warnings to leave and decided to stay.) Whenever you hear people wanting to take away personal freedoms (abortion) and/or promoting 2nd amendment rights to rebel against our 'authoritarian' government, then you know that they are bat-shit crazy, as well as full of BS. Last, but not least. Anyone who is spewing negativity against the chosen POTUS of the undeniable majority of We The People, then yu know that they are nothing more BS tRumptarded traitors, who are deliberately betraying the vision of our Founding Fathers and their Constitutional law. Hope this is a helpful guide. You're welcome.😎

So, don't pretend that you know nor understand anything about me whatsoever. But, I understand your kind very well. Your kind think that politics is a celebrity contest and vote for the candidate who delivers the funniest one liners and insults. Your kind are naive evangelicals, who still believe in fairy tales and that some angel will save them from their own stupidity. Your kind fall for some crazy concept that a narcissistic, self-serving con man, who has cheated all of his life for his own personal gain will help poor folks that he calls losers. Your kind don't care about a candidate cheating on school exams, on playing golf, on income taxes, on his pregnant wives with whores, cheats on elections with Russian collusion. cheats tRump University students out of tuition, cheats on his own charity foundation, cheats subcontractors out of business, and cheats on bank loans. Your kind don't care about the will of the majority of voters and your kind of insurrectionist traitors stormed our nation's Capitol to deny our Constitutional transfer of power and your kind attempted a coup on behalf of a corrupt wannabe dictator. Your kind only know how to spew BS rhetoric, instead of trusting in facts and data, revealed by multiple nonpartisan recounts and audits. Your kind refuse to trust your own electoral college and tRump's own judicial appointees. Your kind are radical redneck white supremacist, gun toting anarchists, who truly want to destroy our government. Your kind of tRumptard traitors make me want to puke.

  4393.  @kathyannk  Alas, I really am a hermit, who has mutually rejected both family and a misguided society, so I live in peaceful isolation in the foothills, surrounded by nature and emotionally disengaged for over a decade. YT is my only contact with the world, from the secure end of a WiFi connection, whenever and wherever I choose. There are numerous wonderful channels (Itchy Boots, Back 2 Basics, etc) to escape the hostilities of these tRumptarded comments. Countering them on behalf of our nation gives my life meaningful purpose. YT is also an excellent rsource for learning, which has taught me electronics, coding in C++, PCB design, MIDI control, creating 3D imagery, etc. In fact, I've just completed my 1st PCB for an original Laser Synthesizer, used to create abstract laser imagery, choreographed to music and recorded onto MIDI tracks, via Reaper DAW's timeline. Perhaps you are familiar with Laserium shows, which were performed in planetariums throughout the world and I did between '78-88. Now that the equipment is as inexpensive as a decent home sound system, I've returned to the art form I once loved within the comfort of my living room, with a glass of wine and vaporizer loaded with 80% THC. 🤗 If curious, Christopher Short has many YT videos of what I'm talking about. I'll be posting my own by the new year. There are only a few of us 'old school' laserists still living to practice this artform. Most of today's commercial laser shows consists of 'beam heads' doing stage concerts. 🙄 Now, I can escape all known reality, entirely and explore an unforeseen universe of abstract harmonious movement. Imagine having never heard music before, then being handed a modern synthesizer to play with at your heart's content. 😜 Everyday of life is a holiday for me. No worries. I've enjoyed our chat, Kathy. For that, I am very grateful. These connections on YT are very rare and precious to me. You've filled a void in the life of TheOleHermit. Namaste', Dear Kind Soul. 🙏🙏🙏

  4402. Democrats are such sycophants, eating their own kind. DNC corruption continues to help Republicans to get elected, due to shear voter disillusionment with the process. "What's the point of voting, when our votes don't count?" They simply never learn from their own mistakes. Meanwhile, Trump is an out of control mob boss, who has thumbed his nose at our Constitution and Congressional oversight. He literally believes that he is above the law and has demonstrated an absolute stranglehold over the Republican party. Trump is an irresponsible bully, who gives everyone gangsta nicknames and brutally punishes anyone who opposes him. He rules out of fear and everyone under his thumb hates him. All along and at this very minute, Trump's self-appointed Cabinet (mob) of henchmen are plotting a coup upon our nation. Trump has already suggested the elimination of term limits (blatantly illustrated in his recent tweet, with him campaigning into 2048) and has his heirs poised to inherit his crown and kingdom, aka USA. If re-elected, Trump will become our 1st dictator or, as he fantasizes, the biggliest King of the World in history. Every day, the MSM provide Trump with 24/7 free publicity by broadcasting his propaganda. Therefore only a media mogul, like Mike Bloomberg, is capable of defeating Trump with millions of dollars’ worth of counter messaging ads. IMO, Mike Bloomberg is our only hope of saving our democratic republic against Trump's tyranny. Mike Bloomberg is a true patriot, literally spending a fortune out of his own pocket to save our nation from a lying, cheating, corrupt traitor. BTW, Bloomberg's anti-Trump ads will run up until the November election, even if he is not the Dems' nominee. IOW, they benefit all Dem candidates. How generous is that? They should be thanking Mike, instead of demonizing him with accusations of him trying to buy the election. He's only buying ads, just as they are. Furthermore, Bloomberg only entered the race because none of the field has a chance in hell of defeating Trump (including Sanders). Even after giving others a 3 month head start and 4 state handicap, Bloomberg's poll numbers are skyrocketing. Please be a true patriot and support our nation's only hope for survival.🙏 mikebloomberg.com

  4429.  @jimmalachowsky4052  TLDR. The House DID impeach Trump while he was still POTUS. McConnell delayed the Senate TRIAL until after the inauguration on Jan 20th. The whole point of the trial was to make him ineligible to ever run for office again. After every Republican Senator let him off the hook, McConnell stated that Trump could and should be held accountable in criminal court for inciting the insurrection on Jan 6. Mark my words, Trump will be in prison by 2024. The Democrats have no fear of Trump winning. It's the Republicans that are shitting themselves, afraid that Trump will fund primary opponents against any Republican that doesn't toe the Trump line. Trump is a mob boss that bullies his way through everything with threats of law suits, political smears, and/or extortion. The first thing he did (apart from surrounding himself with 'family', the only ppl he trusts) after stepping into the Oval office was to summon every Republican Congressman to pledge loyalty to him above everything else, including our nation. After making an 'offer they couldn't refuse', they sealed the 'deal' with the infamous embrace. His first move while campaigning was to discredit the free press. "Don't believe anything others say, but you can always trust me." He told his supporters at every rally. That's the first step towards dictatorship. Then there were all of the demeaning gangsta nicknames, Crooked Hillary, Lying Ted Cruz, Little Marco, Crazy Bernie, Pocahonas, Sleepy Joe Biden. Trump behaves exactly like a mafioso godfather. NY has hired a lawyer who specializes in racketeering to take down Trump's entire mob. Guliani is in deep trouble. Cohen is squealing like a pig and advising Trump's accountant to cooperate with the investigations to save his own ass. At CPAC, Trump even wondered who the 2024 nominee would be. Before the election, he asked his supporters, "What will happen if I don't win? Will I have to move to another country?" Jared has already dissappeared. Are you Friking deaf, dumb, and blind?

  4432.  @jimmalachowsky4052  You're obviously a Trumptard troll. I've heard that BS too many times and have learned that you are incapable of being either reasonable nor civil. It's all about 'whataboutisms' and personal attacks about everyone else being too stupid to understand your massive intelligence. Yes, Pelosi pushed the impeachment through in order to finish before Jan 20, knowing that no Republicans would vote for it. The impeachment is not a trial and doesn't require testimonies. Obviously, you have forgotten the 1st impeachment trial that McConnell & Co pushed through, w/o witnesses. Every single one stood in front of Americans and lied their asses off to defend their godfather. They are all cowards. Yes, Pelosi delayed transferring the articles so that Biden could get his cabinet together in the middle of a pandemic and financial meltdown that Trump left him with. The first action on day one was to vote on the constitutionality of holding a trial to convict Trump. That vote passed, with some Republican support. Then, the defense and Republicans used that same issue as an excuse to not convict. Vote yes on day one, then no on day 5. SMH! During the Senate trial, the House attorneys presented a compelling case against Trump. Trump's defense was pathetic. In fact, his first set of lawyers quit rather than lose their licenses by supporting his 'big lie' as a legal defense. The rest of your comment is nothing more than a personal rant, which I'm not going to lower myself to your level by responding. Furthermore, it is gullible Trumptards just like you who have TDS, not ppl who can see through his BS. Now, I done with you. Go away troll and leave me alone. In fact, I'm blocking your notifications.

He is the CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital Management, the investment advisor to the Hermitage Fund, which was at one time was the largest foreign portfolio investor in Russia. -Wikipedia" NOW, READ IT AND WEEP, TROLL: https://www.reddit.com/r/tulsi/comments/dkr1dc/bill_browder_spreading_misinformation_about_tulsi/ "Bill Browder spreading misinformation about Tulsi Gabbard's voting record on the Magnitsky Act in Dec 2016 The Global Magnitsky Act gives the US govt some direction in prosecuting individuals for human rights abuses. I do not know much about it and that is not the point of this post. Bill Browder whose colleague was killed and championed the bill accused Gabbard of voting against the bill. https://twitter.com/Billbrowder/status/1185957454296821760 "No need to ask Tulsi Gabbard about how she feels about the Magnitsky Act because we have her voting record. In December 2016, she was among a tiny minority of members of Congress to vote against the Global Magnitsky Act." Naturally curious I wanted to see the voting record. What you will find it is that there was no House vote on the Global Magnitsky Act. https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/284/related-bills The text was folded into the NDAA 2017 or FY17 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA): Tulsi Gabbard voted against that Defense Authorization Act of FY17 and wrote the following statement: https://gabbard.house.gov/news/press-releases/rep-tulsi-gabbard-votes-against-arming-terrorists-defense-authorization-bill So Bill Browder is just spreading misinformation and lies about Tulsi Gabbard."

  4537. Yet, another smear piece against Tulsi. Let's make a mountain out of a mole hill. Bottom line is that Tulsi supports everyone having medical insurance, through either a public option or personal coverage. That is her clearly stated stance in both interviews. WTF is the problem? A public option would provide competition to drive down the costs of private health insurance, or bankrupt the gougers. Furthermore, it would give our government a seat at the table to negotiate lower drug prices. This is the path towards total public healthcare. Why does everyone expect the moon tomorrow? Why does everything depend upon narrow-minded, single issues? The conclusions of this narrative are biased and illogical. No. Healthcare coverage does not have to be an all or none scenario. People should maintain their right to purchase supplemental coverage and customized policies, beyond whatever is provided in the 'average' government issued coverage. Normally, that would be called free market competition, which is good...right? Otherwise, who would keep the government honest? Why do military hammers cost $500 (whatever) apiece? This guy is so Berned that he can't see the bigger picture. What am I doing, supporting Tulsi instead of Bernie? I'm not selfishly riding a faithful workhorse into the ground, for a start. Ever heard of the expression, "There's no point in flogging a dead horse." ? Workhorses like Bernie simply don't know when to quit. Yes, Bernie is a great guy, who has served our nation honorably for several decades, but the poor man has already one heart attack. What more do you people want from this man? Who will step into his shoes, if/when (god forbid) he's gone? Who resigned from the VC position of the DNC to endorse Bernie in 2016? Whose policies are most closely aligned with Bernie's? Who has the experience to pull our country out of political corruption and bridge our partisan divisions, with nonpartisan leadership? Ladies and gents, I give you Tulsi Gabbard. "Well then, why is Tulsi running against Bernie, instead of with him?" I hear you ask. I can only presume that Tulsi doesn't want to burden Bernie's campaign with all of these DNC/MSM smears.🤯 Yeah, what kind of person would be that honorable in the service for her nation? So, let's not be so eager to throw sh!t on a pure heart, folks. Sanders/Gabbard 2020!

  4566.  @Paul-se4wc  #1: It is disrespectful to force YOUR superstitious beliefs onto the children of everyone else who rejects YOUR personal beliefs. #2: It defies the personal rights of freedom of religion, ANY religion, including atheism. #3: The Constitution states "Congress shall make NO laws with respect to religion." That means that it is unConstitutional to mandate injecting religion into ANYTHING that is taxpayer funded, including public schools. Schools teach fundamental communication skills, reading,, writing, computing, provable science, anatomy, hygiene, reproduction, recorded world history, math, civics, STEM, and sociology. Those provide skills for becoming competitive in global job markets. PUBLIC SCHOOLS DO NOT TEACH TRANS IDEOLOGY. TRANS IS NOT AN IDEOLOGY. IT IS APERSONAL IDENTITY. LGBTQ SUBJECTS ARE ELECTIVE COLLEGE LEVEL SUBJECTS FOR PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING CAREERS. #3: The bible is NOT historical fact. It was written by men, after thousands of years worth of folklore, verbally passed down through thousands of generations. In fact, archeological scientific remains prove that Genesis is total BS. The Earth was NOT created in 6 days, Eve wasn't created from one of Adam's ribs (God ran out of parts?). #4: You already have your own failing tax-exempt houses for worship. Where politics are being preached illegally. Evangelical sheeple of blind faith says that a notorious life-long, lying, cheating, whoremongering, adulterer is "the divine chosen one, sent down by god to save our nation", despite your own bible perfectly describing him as the anti-Christ, who is only here to deceive you. What's wrong with parental rights of not wanting their children to be indoctrinated (aka groomed) by false religions? This is going to blow up in your faces. The more authoritarian you are, the more respectable will resist. Women's rejection of Dobbs has already cost you last midterm's red wave. Project 2025 will cost you the House, Senate, and Executive branch this election. Dems will gain a supermajority to strike down everything MAGA has/is/will tear down. YOU WILL NOT DUMB DOWN THE EDUCATION OF AMERICA'S YOUTH.

  4567. All hail Fani Willis for saving our nation's election integrity from within her limited jurisdiction of Fulton County, Georgia (of all places)! But, what about those other fake electors in the other red swing states? Who is holding those fake electors accountable for seditious conspiracy to overthrow our 2020 election and their obstruction of Congress on 1/6/21? Why aren't the Congressional seditious conspirators of the "Green Bay Sweep" being indicted, instead of being promoted to key seats in powerful committees, like Jordan's BS Judiciary Committee, whose only commitment is defending a corrupt mafioso godfather, aka 'the don'. Was that only a dress rehearsal? Have they since been allowed to replace the official REAL electors in those swing states? Could this be the reason that the Republicans are being so blatantly bold with doubling down on their radical extremist right wing authoritarian theocratic ideologies? The Q-nuts are behaving as if there are no consequences and can't lose in 2024. Where is the DoJ in those other red swing states? It's willful ignorance already enabled tRump's 'loyalist' Q-nuts to infiltrate and control the House during the midterms. Yet, MT is defending AG Garland's cowardice in allowing the mafioso mob boss to STILL rebel rouse his cult, as if there is insufficient evidence?! WTF, Popok!!! Never mind that, because of Garland's 'caution', the criminal Q-nuts' have succeeded in taking control of the People's House... TWO F'ING YEARS AFTER JAN 6? It's more important dot every 'i' and cross every 't' against traitor tRump, when there's already overwhelming evidence of multiple attempted coups; seditious conspiracy; stealing, concealing, photocopying, uploading, (selling?) classified docs; and espionage on his head? HELL NO! The don must be publicly convicted and imprisoned, before his reign and cult will end. TRUMP'S A TRAITOR!! GARLAND IS A COWARD!! LET'S GO JACK!! LOCK THEM UP!!

  4579.  @davidwestwater1914  No, Friend. There are many types of servers (email, SQL database, media, VNC, etc). Nearly every business has one and many tech-savvy individuals own servers in their homes. I have a few, myself (even on a $50 Raspberry Pi SBC). The Clinton Foundation has its own server, which is capable of processing email. Apparently, Hillary didn't know how to configure her phone's email client to send and receive on two different servers, so she simply used her Clinton Foundation account for both communications. Bad Hillary! But apparently it wasn't illegal because she was never charged with a crime. Perhaps because there was no malicious intent.Of course, the government maintains classified communication (email) records on government owned servers for security and oversight. Apparently, the Clinton Foundation's email server is maintained by an astute IT Administrator, because, unlike the DNC's email server, it wasn't hacked by the Russians. In other words, no harm, no foul. Yes, Hillary deleted her personal gossip email, prior to handing the official government ones over. BFD. Trump is using the White House classified server to conceal his illegal activities from Congressional oversight, such as withholding missiles from an ally (who is in the midst of being invaded by Russia), just in order to shake down the Ukrainian president, just to gain an advantage over a campaign rival. Surely, you can see that is mob-style extortion, which is highly illegal. Trump will soon be joining his henchmen in prison.

  4583. Democracy = one person, one whole vote Republic = our electors will count the votes, then grant blacks 3/5 a vote, exclude women, and then Gerrymander districts in order to cheat. IMO, Dems need to concede that the USA has NEVER been a democracy, just to stop the knee-jerk reaction among Republicans, who don't understand the difference between Democrats and democracy. They are correct that we don't have a democracy and they're even stealing our republic, now worth less than bananas. #1: VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO, just to save what still remains. Debate the details after this chaos is behind US, or there will be no debating under tRump.. Given a filibuster proof Congressional majority and Biden as POTUS, they will have the power to fix our political woes. #3: Nationwide ranked choice voting to end 3rd party election spoilers. #4: Rebalance SCOTUS to make it NON-partisan, NON-politically motivated. #5: TERM LIMITS and no under the table bribery for ALL Justices!! #6: Repeal Dobbs & codify Roe. #7: Repeal Citizens United to get corporate dark $ out of our elections. Equal campaign financing (to see which candidates can handle $ best). #8: Abolish the Electoral College over cheating and Jan 6. If they can't play fairly, then take away their balls. #9: Abolish district Gerrymandering. Equally divided populations, with equal voting power, and equal representation, regardless of land size. #9: Mandatory civics testing and diploma screening for all political candidates! THIS IS HOW TO MAGA, NOT BY BACK HANDED CHEATING!

He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows when you've been bad or good. So, you'd better be good for goodness sake." You are very focused upon "the enemy". Without your god, my enemies simply cease to exist, especially those here on planet Earth. "God spoke to the prophets in the bible who wrote those stories." How do you know that Satan wasn't speaking to those self professed prophets? How do you know that they didn't write those stories in order to control and subjugate weaker minded sheeple? "You do understand that angel's used to walk this earth?" Did those angels have wings or not? Do birds fly in the air or walk on the ground? "After all, we are made in the image of God." Isn't that just a little too convenient for mankind? What color is your god? "Jesus did die on the cross of calvary for all world's sins." Thousands of Christians and Jews died upon Roman crosses. But, no one still worships them 2 thousand years later. Oh, that's right, none of their bodies were removed by grave robbers nor did they ascend into heaven, according to the story. That's the sole basis of your faith. Fairy tales, fortune tellers, and ego. I'm so much more happy not living my life second guessing the will of an invisible entity, always watching my every move, and waiting to be judged. Watching for imaginary cryptic signs in clouds. You can live in fear of your demon enemies and wait for some nonexistent heavenly reward in your afterlife beyond the grave, if you wish. But, I'm going to continue to appreciate every moment of life, here and now. Because that's all I'll ever have, just like every other life form on Earth. They're not worried about your demons any more than I.

FYI, that joke was on his loyal fans, who always laughed, right on queue like trained animals. Accountant Wiesenberger in prison for running duplicate accounts ledgers. Fixer Cohen turning state's evidence. Stone did jail time for his don. Bannon, Meadows, Jordan, and others in contempt of Congress, refusing to testify. RICO investigations against the tRump org and family. The don only trusts his own spawn of heirs, the only ones who are always at his side. Everyone else gets used, abused, then discarded like his toilet paper. Giuliani, Powell, Cyber Ninjas and 'stop the steal' attorneys; unpaid, disbarred, and being fined $1.2 Billion in defamation compensation to Dominion. Every Congressman who pledged loyalty to the don are afraid of his vengeance, by funding his own loyalists to primary them, unless they hold the line regarding his Big Lie. Intimidation of Georgia Sec of State to "find 11,780 votes" This is the kind of POS you honestly believe is qualified to represent our nation after reneging on JCPOA, PCA, and being laughed at by NATO leaders? You have absolutely no moral core to even consider such a thing. You're not any US citizen that I want anything to do with. You're a disgraceful tRumtarded traitor, just like the rest of his TDS infected cult.

But, your both sides are guilty BS wreaks of disrespect towards the American government, the Democrat party, our elected POTUS , and the undeniable majority of We the People, who kicked tRump's corrupt, self-serving, sorry ass out of OUR Oval office. HE gave a $2 Trillion tax break give away to the billionaire, dark money super PAC donors of the GQP, who crammed Citizens United through Congress. THAT is why politicians are serving their donors, instead of We the People. How can you expect Dems to take any higher moral ground against billionaire donations to the party of failed tinkle upon Reaganomics, which has only resulted in decades worth of our government being underfunded to the current ~$32 Trillion.... $7 Trillion of that being during tRump's 4 years in office. How much did Bush's Middle East wars cost US in lost revenues and lives? President Biden has stopped most of that BS, while uniting and strengthening the NATO, without putting US boots on the battleground in Ukraine, which has avoided WWIII. For decades, Dems have been pushing for campaign finance reforms, comprehensive immigration legislation, gun regulations, and tax reforms. The Dems held tRump accountable TWICE with impeachments, as well as exposing his treasonous behavior with the House Jan 6th Commission's public hearings. You can't both sides the Dems by smearing tRump's BS on them. His 'loyalist' Q-nuts of the BS Freedom Caucus are disgracing our nation and their offices with outrageous behavior, attempting to rewrite history, save tRump's legacy, and deliberately sabotage Congress by grandstanding in front of cameras for their radical right wing cult of donors. You can pretend to be willfully ignorant of the facts, but I'm here to set the record straight, tRumptard.

  4713.  @partyboypelosi There's nothing 'simple' about legislation that determines how to differentiate between source nations, screen between the allowed and rejected regarding the millions of immigrants, many with families already being US citizens, etc. Comprehensive immigration legislation has been kicked down the road for decades, mostly be Republicans, who have only wanted the club without solving the problem. Biden, Dems, and the Senate have finally come to terms on a bipartisan bill. That's not the problem causing the gridlock. The problem is that citizen tRump, the vengeful Mafioso don has the GQP cowards by their pubes and his know nothing MAGA saboteurs (and seditious conspirators of 1/6/21) in the House only want to disrupt our elected government with chaos, infighting, and obstruction. NONE of this would be happening if Garland had put tRump in prison, out of sight, away from social media , and out of politicians' minds 2 years ago, instead of threatening our nation to appease Putin. tRump wants 'little' people to suffer, because they will complain the loudest and blame their suffering on Biden. That's why he wants our economy to crash, before the election. He only wants to be elected in order to escape justice with 'executive immunity'. His MAGA conspirators will lie and cheat in order to be pardoned by him, IF they can distract from his criminality by conducting committee shit shows, desperately trying to link Hunter with the 100% clean POTUS. Yes, it's an absolutely pathetic national disgrace on display, as the world of our allies watch in horror, while entertaining our enemies by demonstrating how weak and chaotic democracy is. In their dictatorship, tRump's head would have been on public display years ago as a traitor.

  4725.  Fred Sanchez  You listen to too much right wing media, who misrepresent everything this administration does and says, usually sound bites taken out of context. Biden has NEVER said that our borders are open and has even continued tRump's Title 42 pandemic restrictions. Otherwise, he has only been following long term immigration procedures and laws. Vaccines are only mandatory for Federal employees and contractors. As the Federal CEO, President Biden has the authority to enforce 50 year old OSHA regulations for employers to provide a safe working environment. Our US forces slipped out of Bagram military base without locals even noticing. The US trained Afghan military was expected to defend Bagram against the Taliban, which would have mad it the epicenter of a battleground. That made it impractical to use for civilian evacuations, especially since the Taliban could block the 40 mile road from Kabul. So, Karzai airport was established, instead. Day one of the evacuations was chaotic, because of panicked mobs of Afghans flooding onto the runway. That was immediately dealt with by day 2. After the Afghan government fled, successful diplomacy turned the Taliban enemy into allies, providing an airport security perimeter to control the crowds. Apart from one suicide bomber, 125,000 Afghan allies and US citizens were smoothly evacuated to temporary multinational visa processing centers/shelters. That screening process is ongoing. The Taliban are allowing all US citizens and valid document holders to leave the country. BTW, regarding those 13 US troops, who lost their lives during that 3 week period, in the middle of a terrorist infested war zone; 1,800 Americans are being killed by guns in their own neighborhoods every 3 weeks. tRump created the Afghan withdrawal problem. President Biden ended it.

  4767. I'm so glad to see this. It clearly shows the DNC establishment's corrupt bias against Tulsi. Her 1st question was nothing more than a setup to turn Dem voters against her. They already knew how she would answer. After that, Harris continued to attack Tulsi with the 'Russian operative, party traitor' smear. But, as soon as she took that cheap shot, the nationally broadcast video feed was mysteriously 'interrupted' precisely during Tulsi's response, then it resumed precisely as she was finishing. It was far too perfect to have been a coincidental technical malfunction. I'm so glad that we can now see how eloquently she responded. But, their corruption didn't end there, as this video illustrates, Tulsi was blatantly robbed of air time. 8 minutes total, while the party favorites were called upon over and over. I'd love to see a comparison of screen times. Oh, but it didn't stop there. While the Washington post interviewed other candidates afterwards, Tulsi wasn't among them. Yet, the commentators continued to push the party's narrative against her. The DNC have demonstrated exactly what Tulsi has been saying. They are just as corrupt and rotten as the Republican party. My Republican acquaintances have tried to convince me of this in the past, but I always brushed it off as them drinking too much right wing rhetoric. But, after last night's disgraceful hit job against Tulsi, I believe them. The members of the debate panel, most of whom I have been a loyal fan of, have only brought shame upon themselves, never again will I accept their words on face value. F'em! I'm changing my registered party affiliation to Independent and will join the ranks that believe both parties are equally corrupt. Tulsi was the only truthful and totally honest candidate on that stage last night. But, the corrupted DNC can't handle the truth. It only proves that we need Tulsi's centrist, bipartisan leadership more than ever to clean up our political system. This is who the DNC fear and smears: @ Aloha!🤙 Aloha! Tulsi Gabbard 2020!🤙 Please help her save our democracy.🙏

  4772. Sheriff Judd is a very entertaining story teller. But, he is using this particular story to justify the 'rights' of untrained citizens to use lethal force against a thief (at that point in time). Is it a mere coincidence that the perpetrator just happens to be black? Why did the sheriff conflate the attempted car theft with the owner's handgun, calling it an armed robbery? The perp wasn't armed and didn't use any force against any individual. IMO, the car owners took appropriate action to defend themselves without killing a man over attempted theft. Even they understood the meaning of 'justifiable homicide' and didn't feel that killing the perp was justified. In the end, they appropriately reported the incidents to the police, who apprehended the perp, w/o killing him. This sheriff is saying, if you see a crime, just kill the SOB. Where does America draw the line? Should a store clerk or witness follow a shoplifter outside the store, then gun them down on the grounds of armed robbery because the clerk used a weapon during the course of a crime? The sheriff seems to propose that everyone should be armed and take law enforcement into their own hands. What about all of the racist 'Karens' of the world, who claim that they are being threatened by a black person? Should nut cases be armed and 'stand their ground' every time a black person gets within 6 ft? Then we wonder why BLM protests are happening over of blacks being murdered by police on camera. IMO, the black reporter understood racial profiling and was asking the correct questions and was receiving the wrong message. He was trying to reduce racial injustice by suggesting more appropriate police procedures that fit the crime(s). Apparently, everyone else is totally on board with whites murdering blacks for any excuse. No, America is NOT a nation of vigilante justice. In fact, it is illegal, just as the 17 yr old Mr Rittenhouse is learning the hard way after going out of his way to kill two people in Portland with an AR. We pay taxes to fund trained law enforcement officers to deal with criminals. We don't need to return to the wild wild west. BTW, I'm an old white guy, who neither wants nor needs a gun. There have been several times in my life when I would have use one and ended up in prison. IMO, only pussies need guns to defend themselves against other pussies with guns. I'm intelligent enough to avoid pussies with guns. No problem.

  4792. Despite the pathetic lack of MSM coverage, President Biden just met in Califirnia to mend the relations between the 2 most powerful nuclear nations on the planet. Thanks to President Biden's effective diplomacy, we have returned to direct communications between our military leaders, which makes the entire world a much safer place to live. President Xi stated the same good will between US and China. It is a disgrace that MTP and MSM only want to brodacast negative narratives to the public which does a lot of harm to US. They are as bad as Faux Spews, which has been fined $billions over election disinformation. NO ONE is supporting 8 million illegal immigrants entering our country. That's exactly what I'm talking about. But tRump and Republicans have exploited every opportunity brodacast that to the world for over the past 8 years. Guess what? The world watches American TV and interpret "open border" as an open invitation to head for the land of milk and honey. But, no one else in the US gets it... except for the Republican Congressmen who have been going to the Rio Grande with Fox camera crews in the middle of the night to demonstrate how easily immigrants are crossing the border. Except their cameras never show BP taking those illegals into custody beyond the FOV. If those Republican Congressmen wanted to solve the problem, then why have they wasted decades by obstructing Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation in Congress, which is their duty, not the POTUS'? President Biden has been performing diplomatic miracles throughout the world, which are being willfully ignored by MSM. That's why his poll #s are so low. He has rallied our allies, strengthened NATO to stop Putin's invasion of Ukraine, without putting US boots onto the battlefield, which would hav triggered WW III. He has defended Israel, while providing humanitarian aide to innocent Palestinian victims, who are caught in the middle between Israel and Hammas. Biden has saved millions of US citizens from COVID with free nationwide vaccinations. His stimulus checks, eviction moratoriums, PPE didstibutions and SNAP have supported the unemployed and small businesses during the shutdowns. Grocery shelves are full again, no more supply chain shortages, and oue post-pandemic economy is the strongest in the world. Yes, there is still some residual inflation, but it's far lower than the rest of the world. Please pay closer attention to President Biden's most accomplished administration is US history. 35,000 infrastructure projects throughout the nation are just breaking ground, which will inject $billions of union wages into local communities. His BBB agenda will promote sustainable energy, broadband internet and prosperity foover the next 10 years. Those bills were approed by Congress within his initial 2 years oin office. Give the ole man credit where credit is due. At least he is not the traitor, being tried in federal courts with 91 counts of criminality, including mob racketeering and international espionage. Is that the kind of POTUS you want as a role model? Haven't you had your fill of his hateful, divisive anti-American rhetoric?

  4836. This is a blatantly obvious authoritarian tRump fan, who wants to eliminate the restraints of law and order, including asylum, just to play as dirty as the cartels. This Sheriff ignores tRump's primitive camps of immigrants along the Mexican side of the border, who were easy prey for cartel coyotes. . While pretending that hasn't been going on for decades, he decries 1000 'inhumane' deaths in the desert and blames them on Biden, instead of it being their own decision. FYI, Sheriff, the world listens to US news reports, translated into their own native languages. Your broadcast of 'truth' is their invitation to head for our land of milk and plenty. He actually slipped and stated that the border problem has become a crisis since tRump For the past 7 years, tRump has been telling the world that the US border is wide open for the crossing and dismantled ICE. Instead of doing their jobs of passing Immigrations legislation, Congressional Republicans have been deliberately going to the border, with Fox News camera crews, in the middle of the night to demonstrate to the world how easily illegals are crossing the Rio Grande (being apprehended by BP off camera, BTW). Congressional Republicans are trying to defund ICE On the other hand, President Biden & Majorca are telling the world that the US border is NOT open. This administration has rebuilt ICE and has dramatically increased funding for border enforcement and surveillance. Which message is causing the problem and which is a more responsible means of reducing the problem, Sheriff? You admit that this administration has included local law enforcement in meetings, considered your input, and have made changes in priorities. But, you think you know the bigger picture better than they. "Only you know how to fix it, eh" @ 30:15 "My lane isn't Immigration." The most truthful comment this sheriff made. IMO, Republicans need to STFU and do their jobs, instead of blaming Dems for treating the victims of ruthless cartel violence humanely.

  4847.  @Lilyscoobs77 I disagree 100%. What's asinine is believing in ancient superstitions that human beings are divinely endowed above all other life forms, with immortal souls and life after death, while there is physical scientific evidence of billions of years' worth of evolution. The fact that NO ONE can comprehend >8 billion years and the origins of the universe doesn't prove the existence of any omnipotent all-knowing god of creation. Time is the undeniable, immortal god of all creation of life, planets, and solar systems. Time is the omnipotent destroyer of mountains that inevitably erode into the seas. You indoctrinate your own children to believe in Santa Claus, watching their every move, making a list, then passing judgement upon 'who's naughty or nice', who will be rewarded or given coal at the end of the year... a lifetime for children. But, you have never matured to learn the truth of it being nothing more than an authoritarian scam to control weak minded sheeple. Your crucified Christ ain't ever coming back to your town, Bible thumper. FYI, I wasted most of my life searching for divine guidance, but only found mankind's greedy dirty finger prints all over the manuscripts. Now, I'm 100% free from an enslaved mind and 100% content in accepting my own mortality and inevitable demise back to the earth, just like every other creature that has/will ever exist. NO ONE controls me. I control and am responsible for my own life's choices. Sucks to be you, Mr Asinine. You have no divine authority. You are the opposite of higher morality.

  4921.  @Luke_Freeman  I appreciate and respect your civil voice. I wasn't very interested in politics until I heard Obama's campaign. After Bush's ME disaster, based upon lies of WMDs, which had nothing to do with Al Qaeda's attack on NYC, I was repelled by the corruption within the RNC. Trump has only made bad matters worse. I hate that man with a vengeance. Right wingers don't even try to defend his mafioso illegal activities and pathological lies. They only distract the subject with, "Well what about ________?" IOW, their moral compass relies upon not being worse than the worst BS conspiracy theory about some Dem, which usually is so ancient that there's no legitimate comparison. However, last fall I witnessed the DNC and MSM undermine viable candidates during the debates, such as Tulsi Gabbard among others. So, I no longer identify with them, either. Then, there was the shameful behavior of the Republican Congressmen during the impeachment hearings and trials. They have taken political corruption through the roof, blatantly spinning an alternative universe of 'fake news'. They are the pawns of Trump, complicite enablers of his criminal activity, and conspirators against our nation and its Constitutional laws. IMO, they are all traitors against everything our once great nation has stood for. "can't stand people who relentlessly berate for political leverage and gain,..." Trump has done this at every rally and public appearance, demonizing over half of American voters. Now, his misinformation and lies for political gain are killing our citizens by the thousands. Trump is an insult to the scum he is. IMO, Biden doesn't have enough fight inside him to defeat Trump's upcoming $1 Billion propaganda campaign, dubbed the 'Death Star'. Without Obama's support, our nation is doomed.

  4937.  @aaronjohnson1005  Thank you for the respectful debate. No, the NATO treaty has NOT been violated, because NATO has not extended beyond Germany's borders, until Finland and Sweden were recently provoked by Russia to join. Furthermore, Ukraine hasn't been inducted into NATO, despite begging for membership. Of course, that would only incite Putin's anger and would increase the chance of nuclear escalation. This is what Wikipedia's history says: "During the Cold War 1947–1991, Germany was divided, with East Germany under Communist control and under the close watch of Moscow, which stationed a large military force there and repressed an uprising in 1953. Since the end of the Cold War and German reunification, in 1989–91, Germany and Russia have developed a "Strategic Partnership" in which energy is indisputably one of the most important factors. Germany and Russia depend on each other for energy, namely in Germany's need for energy from Russia and Russia's need for heavy German investment to develop its energy infrastructure. Relations turned highly negative in 2014 in response to Russia's seizure of Crimea from Ukraine and support for insurgents in Ukraine. Germany was a leader between NATO Quint in imposing round after round of increasingly harsh European Union sanctions against the Russian oil and banking industries and top allies of President Vladimir Putin. Russia responded by cutting food imports from the EU." Putin has only brought the ire of the world against his own people and nation. His obsolete military is being decimated, the Russian economy is collapsing, and it's only a matter of time, before he is assassinated by his own sanctioned oligarchs over governing so irresponsibly.You need to get off President Biden's back. He is making the best possible decisions after being dealt a bad hand of cards... yet always winning for Americans.

  4939.  @aaronjohnson1005  tRump's tariffs against China only resulted in our soybean farmers losing their primary customer to Brazil and competing suppliers. Then, taxpayers had to compensate their loss of income, so tRump's BS against China only bit US in the ass. Who is our primary supplier of tech gadgets, which we love and depend upon so much? China. Why is our auto industry crippled because of supply shortages of IC's? China has US by our balls. That slippery slope didn't begin with Obama. It began ~50 years ago, with under-regulated 'free trade' capitalization, maximizing profits by exploiting Chinese sweat-shop labor. China's policy has always been to provide the manufacturing in exchange for signing away the Intellectual Rights of the products they produce. Americans have always believed tha tour superior intellect could stay ahead of Chinese copy-cats. NOT! Free enterprise has always been the GOP's mantra, without objections, until tRump's self destructive anti-China rhetoric. President Biden's BBB agenda is all about enticing manufacturers back home with investment incentives. He recently passed the CHIPs act for that very purpose. US Companies are already returning, as well as Chinese investors, creating hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs while making US more independent. This administration is solving problems, while Republicants only know how to piss and moan, without any proposals on the table. "Of course the art of speech is like a game of chess 😆 if I can’t win saying something directly you speak indirectly lol" I'm not playing any games of chess, nor speaking indirectly about anything. I'm directly disputing your right wing rhetoric. So, its fine for you to falsely blame Obama, yet I'm not allowed to mention BS tRumpisms? Fine, we'll not engage in whataboutisms and debate policies. Oh, that's right, the GQP's only policy is wasting time and taxpayer $ on investigating Hunter's laptop conspiracy.

  4948.  @namename6797  Bagram base was 40 miles away from Kabul, with a single road that was vulnerable to IEDs and attacks by ISIS and Al Qaeda. Bagram was only a military airbase with no facilities for feeding and accommodating civilian masses nor processing visas. Once our troops evacuated Bagram, it was assumed that it would become the epicenter of a war zone between the Taliban and Afghan Security forces. No place for civilians. So, our military slipped out of Bagram in the middle of the night, without the locals even noticing, nor one shot being fired. They literally disappeared into the night. Brilliant Then the anticipated dangerous civilian evacuation mission was relocated to Kabul for quick, convenient access by civilians located within and near the densely populated capitol. In and out within 3 weeks, before the terrorists could organize an effective attack upon the airport. Anti-missile defenses were prepositioned to ward off those potential attacks. Excellent strategy. No one expected the Taliban to overthrow the Afghan government immediately, nor the resultant 1 day's rush of the panick-crazed Afghans flooding onto the runway (which was played on a continuous daily loop for months on end, imprinting that image upon Americans, making the mission appear chaotic). Yet, with effective diplomacy, instead of responding with military force to defend Kabul, our enemy became our allies, and even provided perimeter security for crowd control and safe passage of US citizens for evacuating. Under the circumstances, how could the situation have been better? The Taliban agreed to allow the military presence until Aug 31. No doubt, there would have been daily public beheadings of westerners, until we were gone. President Biden succeeded in evacuating over 125,000 US citizens and afghan civilians prior to meeting that deadline, with only minutes to spare. Still, the Taliban provided escorts and safe passage of US citizens out of the country. Whoever wants to leave are allowed to leave. Sorry, but I don't see any failures over these dangerous missions. Intel even warned our troops at Abbey Gate about the imminent attack by the 'lucky' suicide bomber. But, they left the gate open to allow British trops to escort their civilians into the airport. Yes, there was one case of intel's mistaken identification of a white Toyota car bomb that was tracked for 6 hours, before being targeted by a drone, killing some Afghan civilians. Meanwhile, EVERY 3 weeks, 1,800 US citizens are killed by gun violence in their own neighborhoods. IMO, the critics of Biden's Afghan withdrawal don't understand the facts, have unrealistic expectations, and/or simply want to kick and old man who has saved millions of lives and our nation's democracy against another disastrous term of xenophobic tRumpism.

  4952. Wee doggies! It just tickles my li'l pea-pickin' heart whenever I hear a good ole boy that was raised to be nobody's fool. All the folks talk like that, where I came from and ~90% are still tRumptards, believing that a silver-spoon-fed, $20K allowanced, spoiled rotten, lying, cheating, narcissistic, pussy-grabbing, whoremongering, 3 time bankrupted, corrupt mafioso godfather mob boss with a phony real estate university, and a phony charity for tax write offs... is god's chosen one, who gives big enough of a damn about US average pee-ons that he would solve all of their self-inflicted problems. They refuse to watch the House public hearings with sworn testimonies from WH staff and people from within tRump's own inner circle. Thank you for stepping up to the plate to let hard working folks know that they are all being played for fools, not by the US government, as a whole, but by tRump's 'loyalists', including every single Congressional Republican that gave their don the infamous 'embrace of loyalty' to their godfather, while also betraying their oath to serve our nation. Once in the mob, there's no getting out without the godfather's vengeance. That's why they're clambering all over each other to kiss his ring, lying to the world to keep his sorry corrupt ass out of prison. I witnessed it throughout both impeachments and now, with tRump funding 'loyalist' challengers against midterm incumbents. tRump always stabs his 'loyalists' in the back after he's finished using them. Just look at what he tried to do to his own VP.

  4987.  @ThinRedLine_Matt  "Under (R) candidate's term" Nice cherry picking. But 'candidates' don't serve terms. Your points were accomplished under Dem terms IN OFFICE, most of which have been under the current Biden/Harris administration, unless you can provide legit sources to the contrary. Who handed W balanced budget? Who was reading nursery stories, while we were under al Qaeda's attack, after being forewarned? Who launched 'Shock & Awe' against Iraq, based upon lies of WMDs? Who was asleep at the wheel when Wall Street hedge fund managers threatened the global economy? Who had to abandon their 2008 campaigns to bail them out? Who stopped families from losing their homes over extreme medical bills, which insurance companies refused to pay over 'preconditions'? Who said, "Let the auto industry fail." and who saved it with government loans, which have been repaid in full, with interest? Now, our auto workers are still employed and that industry is thriving, isn't it? Who handed tRump a healthy, growing economy? Why did he add $7T to our national debt, $2T of which was tax loopholes for the filthy rich? Whose decades' worth if 'trickledown' economics BS only left average US citizens 'tinkled upon', w/o any benefit and 28T in national debt of which tRump's policies added 25% on top? Where do you get your information, Faux Spews? I get mine from witnessing reality. No matter how you slice and dice BS, it still stinks. tRump is a traitor, who tried to overthrow our election, as the entire world witnessed in horror. That is undeniable and why he is currently on trial in Judge Chutkan's DC courtroom. He stole thousands of top secret nuclear defense docs from the National Archives and with Waltine Nauta's assistance, uploaded them onto a cloud drive to sell then share with our enemies on the global black market. But the radical right wing SCOTUS and Eileen Cannon are protecting him from those indictments, which include espionage... for now. Those trials are on top of his 34 convictions over concealing his whoremongering from voters. Plus, he still owes ~1/2 Billion over repeated defamation of E Gene King, and is banned from doing business in NY, not to mention fines over being convicted of charity and tRump University frauds. Mafioso don, the 2-bit con is going down hard... as in hard time in prison, while taking the GQP and MAGA with him. Good riddance. Sorry, what was your point, again red MAGA Matt, the phony "I", who spews Faux BS, trying to take credit for Dem admin accomplishments? Do you even call yourself a respectable US citizen, who is prepared to defend our democracy?

  4996. 🤯This has got to be the interview of the year, if not this decade! NOW, we can look into the eyes of the very man to whom the previous inept administration gave the responsibility of serving up Afghanistan to the Taliban on a bloody platter. Congratulations, to Margaret for holding his feet to the fire by making him answer all the right questions. Watch how he squirms and grins at the thought of Afghan girls being abused and denied from gaining their education and making their own choices for the rest of their lives. "Well, it's just a different point of view," the monster makes his inhumane excuses for Shariah laws At least, he lays out an accurate account of Biden's evacuation mission, blaming the panic-crazed Afghan civilians for that horrible airport scene, being constantly replayed on an endless loop. Also, he points out that this administration succeeded in negotiating the Taliban's cooperation to provide a security perimeter around the airport to control the crowds, instead of escalating the war with more deaths and destruction, extending the madness for who knows how much longer? This is also the first I've heard about the suicide bomber being one of the 5000 terrorist prisoners that tRump had released. This 'ambassador' also confirmed that the withdrawal was inevitably going to be messy regardless of who was managing it and that Biden pulled it off as well as anyone could reasonably expect. Now that we have the ME's economic monkey off our backs, we are free to move forward into a better future, addressing our own neglected problems. Well done, President Biden!

  5027.  @joeblow8750 Fake news, right? Trump supporters consistently amaze me at their gullibility, ignorance (one who ignores), and acceptance of Trump's lies. Facts are that he was born with a sliver spoon in his mouth, was spoiled as a child ($125,000 per month allowance), feigned having bone spurs to dodge serving our country in the military, blew millions of dollars living a playboy's lifestyle, borrowed huge sums of money from foreign banks to fund his extravagant over budget construction schemes (while bankrupting his contractors by refusing to pay for their services), filed bankruptcy on numerous occasions (until American banks stopped lending him money), cheated on his taxes, and accepted foreign collusion and funding to become POTUS (he has always been a POS). Since then, Trump has blown a hole through our national budget (> $1T deficit), made every effort to discredit and vilify anyone who opposes him, and has consistently fermented hatred within our nation with daily doses of lies and misinformation (now we have to worry about home-grown terrorists, who call themselves patriotic). Our international allies no longer trust US, the cold war with Russia is back on, Iran is testing missiles and enriching uranium again, N Korea is testing guided missile systems again, and now we are in the midst of a trade war with China (who provides US with inexpensive goods). Yet, even blue collar workers and Christians actually believe this narcissistic, self-proclaimed messiah is on their side, even as he gives huge tax breaks to the top 10% (who invested that windfall straight into the stock market, instead of their employees, causing inflated stock values). This is not trickle down economics. It's called tinkle on economics. Trump's reckless kowtowing to his financiers is destroying our country on every level (I would discuss his policies regarding climate change, but that would take up another chapter). His house of cards is on the verge of collapsing. Trump is out of touch with reality. Even now, he demonstrates delusional aspirations and desperate attempts to assure his base that all is well in Trumpland. He deserves every bit of the inevitable wrath from the American voters, of whom he has deceived, in 2020.

  5034.  @constantinshim4271  According to BLS charts, the employment rate has risen at a steady rate since Bush's economic crash in 2010, the same year Obama saved our collapsing auto industry and Wall Street. Trump is killing our agricultural industry with tariffs and destroying natural habitat with deregulation. Chinese goods will no longer be cheap, which will hurt the low income families the most. Trump only lowered taxes on the top 2% (who simply invested the savings into the stock market, causing a temporary bubble that's about to burst). Trump has increased government spending based upon budget projections of a 3.5% fairy tale growth rate. The national debt has increased from $800 Billion to over 1.2 Trillion, annually. You shouldn't mention Trump's inhumane treatment of immigrants and their children. Yes, Obama deported more criminals, but did it with more compassion. Basically, Trump's reputation is one of a spoiled child, who has foolishly lost virtually unlimited wealth on grandiose schemes to support his narcissism. After 9 bankruptcies, American banks won't do business with him, so he turned to shady foreign sources. Trump has insulted and removed support from our allies while praising and encouraging fascist dictators. N Korea and Iran are testing guided missiles. Since Trump has torn up NAT, Russia is developing a new nuclear powered hyper-sonic missile. So, the nuclear arms race is back on. Trump wants to remove sanctions from Russia over its invasion of the Ukraine (a NATO country) and even allow it back into the G8. Trump has proven himself to be an idiot. Only idiots support him.

  5091.  @webportal6659  That's a lie! While being impeached, during the spring of 2020, tRump knew full well that he would lose the election. Out of sheer vengeance, tRump betrayed 20 years' worth of our $Trillions spent, thousands of troops' blood, sweat, and families' tears by promising the Taliban that they could have Afghanistan back, under Biden's term, if they simply didn't attack US troops before the 2020 election. Then he started drawing down the remaining troops to 2500. tRump knew the withdrawal would be messy and scheduled it to happen under Biden's watch. Our troops slipped out of Bagram airbase in the middle of the night, without locals even knowing, until they discovered an abandoned base the following morning. tRump had no plans to protect our Afghan contractors nor Western civilians from beheadings. But, Biden ordered our military to establish an evacuation operation at Karzai Airport, which was logistically advantageous. Only Afghans knew about the Taliban's planned return to power and panicked, jumped the perimeter wall, and flooded onto the runway, chasing after a taxiing cargo plane. One unpredictable moment, immediately remedied, but still single news clip, looped constantly on every broadcast for over 2 years. Yes, one suicide bomber managed to slip past the Taliban's security perimeter and 13 US troops were killed, along with hundreds of civilians. Those troops were forewarned of the imminent threat, but bravely stood their posts to allow a British troop escorted group of civilians inside. STOP THE BS!

  5133. Hello~o! You people think Trump's tweet is a joke?! Trump is an out of control mob boss, who has thumbed his nose at our Constitution and Congressional oversight. He literally believes that he is above the law and has demonstrated an absolute stranglehold over the Republican party. Trump gives everyone gangsta nicknames and brutally punishes anyone who opposes him. All along and at this very minute, Trump's self-appointed Cabinet (mob) of henchmen are plotting a coup upon our nation. Trump has already suggested the elimination of term limits (blatantly illustrated in his tweet) and has his heirs poised to inherit his crown and kingdom, aka USA. If re-elected, Trump will become our 1st dictator or, as he imagines, King of the World. Every day, the MSM provide Trump with 24/7 free publicity by broadcasting his propaganda. This is why only a media mogul, like Mike Bloomberg, is capable of defeating Trump with millions of dollars worth of counter messaging ads. IMO, Mike Bloomberg is our only hope of saving our democratic republic against Trump's tyranny. Mike Bloomberg is a true patriot, literally spending a fortune out of his own pocket to save our nation from a lying, cheating, corrupt traitor. BTW, Bloomberg's anti-Trump ads will run up until the November election, even if he is not the Dem's nominee. IOW, they benefit all Dem candidates. How generous is that? Furthermore, Bloomberg only entered the race because none of the field has a chance of defeating Trump. Even after giving others a 3 month head start and 4 state handicap, Bloomberg's poll numbers are skyrocketing. Please support our nation's only hope for survival.🙏 mikebloomberg.com

  5136. The 'godfather' summoned all of the Congressional Republicans into the Oval Office as soon as he arrived. Trump understands that 'every man has his price' and has the resources to pay it. Obviously, he gave them 'an offer they couldn't refuse'. His 'embrace' sealed their oath of allegiance to him, above party and nation. That's why he has absolute control over the Senate and House Republicans. Woe to anyone who breaks their vow by not holding the Trump Party line. Yes, I said Trump Party because now he owns the Republicans. This is the only possible explanation for their shameless behavior throughout the impeachment proceedings. One by one, Collins and others went to ridiculous lengths to deny indisputable testimonies from multiple reputable witnesses, blow distracting smoke screens, and spew outrageous lies in defense of Trump. No respectable person would stoop that low, without coercion. How is it possible that not one Republiturd could muster the moral backbone to vote 'yes', while being aware of this administration's corruption? Furthermore, McConnell's public statement that he would follow the White House counsel's guidance and that there is 0 chance of impeachment passing the Senate is complicate, illegal, and unconstitutional, because it violates the separation of powers and oversight over the Executive branch. Under the circumstances, Pelosi has no choice but to withdraw the articles. Republican states have already cancelled their primaries, so Trump won't be challenged from within 'his' own party. After the backlash of a failed impeachment, Trump will undoubtedly win the election against the DNC's weak field of candidates, Dems will obviously lose the House and a vindicated Trump will be unstoppable. Within only 4 years, Trump and his motley mob of Cabinet henchmen will have successfully conducted a coup (which he deliberately projects onto Dems) against our nation, without firing a shot. He has already discredited the MSM (as all dictators do), floated ending term limits (testing his opposition, as he often does prior to commitment) and is poised to become America's first dictator. Of course, his ego would prefer the title of 'King of the World.' Then, his heirs in waiting could inherit his 'kingdom'. Meanwhile he can join his coveted club of world dictators, such as Putin, Kim, King Salman, and others. All of this fits Trump's MO and explains his behavior on the international stage, doesn't it? You think I'm crazy? Who's gonna stop him, now that he's already over half way there? Trump's only check on power is the Dem controlled House and they have already failed, simply because everyone dismissed it as only hyper-partisan politics from the left, instead of blatant corruption on the right. 😒 OORR....... 3 term NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg gallops into the race on his mighty white warhorse, wearing an impenetrable shiny silver coat of arms, wielding his huge sword of unlimited campaign funds. Unencumbered with petty DNC bickering, MSM sidelining, nor partisan politics Bloomberg easily thrashes Trump next year. The DNC is forced to rally behind him, along with bipartisan voters. So, Dems gain the Senate majority and hold the House. Relieved Republicans can stop holding their noses and support Bloomberg's monetary policies. Washington DC and our nation reunites. Trump and his mob go to prison, where they belong. International relationships are restored, America returns to the Paris Climate accord, our economy stabilizes with a balanced budget and national pride returns.👏🤩🥳 The choice is yours, America.😎

  5228.  @WhoCaresNone  I didn't know. Thank you for informing me. Rush to hate? What comes around, goes around. Over the past 8 years, I've heard tRump spewing hate against Dem voters, Muslims, immigrants, MSM and his political rivals, including Republicans, at every opportunity; "Crooked Hillary, Crazy Bernie, Lyin' Ted (insulted his wife), Rin De Sanctimonious li'l Marco" On and on, with gangsta style nicknames. Yet, MAGA laughs and the Republicans he insults and the entire party cowers to kiss his ass at Mar-a-Lago, where he invites dictators and stashed thousands of stolen nuclear defense docs to sell of the global black market (charged with espionage). I see MAGA trolls swarming like hornets under every WH press briefing, spewing ruthless personal attacks upon the beautiful, respectfully patient, polite Karine Jean Pierre. MAGA trolls attack our fairly elected POTUS, for their own perverse amusement, in front of the world, completely ignorant of how they are disgracing our nation like domestic enemies, at the pleasure of Putin, Xi, Kim, Iran, and our global enemies. I could go on and on about how hateful your MAGA cult is against every fellow US citizen, who doesn't worship your orange 'chosen one'. MAGA can dish out your hate, on behalf of an election denying, convicted felon, who wants to tear up our Constitution, but then you turn into whining snowflakes the moment when REAL patriotic US citizens object to being threatened by civil war. MAGA, my ass. You're nothing more than a mob of sheeple of blind faith, who want to destroy our great nation while our global allies witness in horror. /smh

  5231. Damn straight! Give 'em hell, Jesse! I show absolutely no respect towards butt-hurt, hypocritical, rude, fowl mouthed, tRumptarded traitors, who are deliberately disgracing our nation by swarming the WH press briefings to inflict meanspirited attacks upon Karine Jean-Pierre, for the world to witness. "What comes around goes around", IMO. These deplorables are the anthesis of MAGA, patriotic behavior, and the essence of our democracy. They need to be shamed, ridiculed, and understand that they are the lowliest excuses of humanity, pariahs of society, and sociopathic rejects. "Well, did you accept tRump as your President?" /smh Why would any respectable US citizen accept a silver-spoon-fed $20K monthly allowance brat, who became a life-long lying, cheating, narcissistic, pussy-grabbing, whoremongering, thin-skinned, corrupt, mafioso godfather, who has never done a day's public service in his sorry-assed life as POTUS? Yet, there they swarm, like vultures, every week to get their rocks off with shit like, "Let's go Brandon! LOL!" (they always add 'LOL' after their stupid comments, like a global middle finger to our POTUS, but they're only joking.) Well, it's just like my Paw used to say, he said, "Son, ya gotta fight far with far. Ain't no good takin your bible to a knife fight. Ya gotta git to it, git'r done and over with." Always minded my Paw or he'd whup my butt fer a 'coon's age or 'til the cows came home. NO, SIR! Sometimes I git so dang riled up that I go full blown Hermit on their sorry asses and let 'em have it with both bores! Dem dang varmits are fair game, in my book, 'specially 'round 'lectioneerin' times. Folks 'round my neck of the woods don't take kindly to tRumptarded traitors and don't mind lettin 'em know about it. I ne'er been known for mincin' my words, neither. Reckon, that's the biggest problems with dem Dems. The'r just too dang prim and proper to know how to tangle with bone-headed numskulls. "Some people just need a quick, short, sharp shock. Can ya dig it? I mean good manners don't cost nothing, do they?" That ole Pink Floyd, sure was a fart smeller. But, he could do with gettin out of the house a little more often for some more sun, I reckon. JS😎

  5246.  @nobilesnovushomo58  I've noticed that Trumptards will invariably divert every conversation away from Trump's corruption to obscure cases in ancient history when some Democrat allegedly did something wrong. It's fine for Trump to demonize half of our nation at every rally, because Joe (gaff machine) Biden made some off handed comment, of which you are quoting out of context? Then, you have to go all the way to England to pull out a drunken driver accident? Really, is that the best you can come up with compared to Trump's constant drum? He is supposed to be the POTUS, not the POTRNC. WTF are you talking about regarding Obama? I didn't even mention his name nor anything to do with him. You simply pulled that out of your own ass. Finally, we come to the impeachment, which you clearly don't understand. The House successfully impeached Trump, in spite of the Republican's shameless display of loyalty towards Trump over their party, oath of office, and our nation. The trial part doesn't happen until the articles of impeachment are submitted to the Senate. That's when the trial begins. But, McConnell and Graham were so cocky that they stupidly revealed their hand that the trial would be dictated by the White House (the defendant) and steam rolled to an automatic acquittal. This is absolutely illegal and unconstitutional... political corruption at its worst. Why would seasoned politicians jeopardize their careers? BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID TO CROSS THEIR GODFATHER MOB BOSS!! No, I'm not new to politics and I have never seen such a blatant display of cowardice. Pelosi knows exactly what she is doing, which is protecting Constitutional Law.

  5289.  @Oneofthreefiftymillion  2 sides to every coin. tRump set up the bad deal with the Taliban 1 1/2 years ago, leaving Biden to deal with the evacuations. tRump incited the attack upon our nation's Capitol, just to overthrow our democratic election. He is nothing more than the cult leader of anarchist groups, who only want to 'destroy our democracy', just as he spent 5 years accusing Dems of. tRump has hijacked the entire GOP and turned it into the GQP of conspiracy nut cases, denying science, defying CDC health advisories, and is killing US citizens. Soon, we will witness Delta spreading through the schools like wildfire, killing children. None of this had to happen if only ignorant, contrary tRumptards would stop politicizing the pandemic. Dems didn't defund the police. That's nothing more than right wing BS. But, the 'bad apples' within the police forces need to be purged and held accountable for illegal authoritarian and racial profiling. WTF are you talking about? Dems aren't giving themselves 5 Trillion. Biden's administration is trying to invest $3.5 Trillion into badly neglected infrastructure, creating millions of US jobs Dems are trying to be more responsible about mitigating against climate change. FFS! THE WORLD IS BURNING, RIVERS AND RESERVOIRS ARE DRYING UP, CROPS ARE FAILING, POLAR ICE CAPS ARE MELTING, SUPER STORM EVENTS ARE INCREASING. WTF ARE REPUBLICANS PREPARED TO DO ABOUT IT? WHATEVER THEIR DICTATOR SAYS!!! The GOP/ GQP is always on the wrong side of all important issues, just to kowtow to tRump and the fossil fuel industry. Now, they're taking away the power of We the People with restrictive voting laws and the ability to nullify the majority. Republicans will blatantly lie and cheat to hold onto power. NEVER VOTE FOR REPUBLICANTS!

  5301. YES! I don't even watch Meet the Pres anymore with Todd's "equal voice" and negative devil's advocate BS. The right wing extremists don't even deserve a place at the table, much less parroting their anti-American government rhetoric. Leftist MSM has sold out to irresponsible sensationalism and pandering to attract tRump's audience. Constantly wringing their hands over whether Dems want Biden to run in 2024, while our very democracy is in jeopardy. First, it was 6 months' worth of daily "Afghanistan withdrawal debacle" loop, which was one day's worth of unpredictable panic-crazed Afghans breaching the perimeter wall of Karzai Airport. Why didn't the MSM report on the thousands of gun deaths in Americans' own backyards EVERY 3 WEEKS, compared to only 23 deaths during the 2 week evacuations, in the middle of a terrorist war zone and coup? Why was no credit given for recruiting the Taliban for perimeter security and escorting westerners out of Afghanistan? All I've heard is BS about how Americans were left behind (because they chose to stay with their Afghan families). Then, it was "port blockages" (because the supply chain couldn't keep up with Christmas shoppers). OMG! Inflation, inflation, inflation!! (Because of high demand and low productivity during shutdowns) "Tisk, tisk! Biden's depleting our SOR by supplying oil to China!!! That won't work. Look at him, begging OPEC to increase their production." (Gas prices have been going down ever since) "OMG!!! Our Commander in Chief is being flanked by 2 Marine honor guards during his address to the nation regarding an undisciplined sector of our society. /smh

  5304. Hey Folks, I'm sorry to have to say this, but needs must. This is THE President of the United States of America, speaking to our nation for your benefit. He is not an orange circus clown, performing for your amusement. This is HIS global arena, not your private back yard. President Biden is trying to explain precisely how his administration is saving thousands of families from poverty and homelessness. He is proudly declaring to the world that "Americans are capable of achieving anything when they put their minds to a task". He truly believes those words. In return, many of you are spitting in his face as the world watches. Your comments are enabled because our POTUS wants to give his fellow American citizens a voice, regardless of them being broadcast to an International audience, including the leaders of our allies, as well as Xi, Putin, Kim, and many of our enemies. They love nothing more than witnessing an American POTUS being inflicted by thousands of your cuts and needles; disgracefully being dragged through the muck you're slinging. They use your childish, petty rants and criticisms as evidence that our nation is weak and failing. Your words are their propaganda. So, why don't you show some respect for the office and leader of the free world, instead of tearing him down with cheap shots and undermining your own nation? MAGA is not just a slogan. Greatness isn't made like a garment, then stored inside a closet; it must be lived every day as an example for others to admire and emulate. It is earned by behaving in a dignified manner that nurtures personal pride. Greatness is achieved by showing compassion towards the down trodden; not turning them away. Patriotism is not about playing inspirational C&W songs, nor waving Ole Glory around, just to show off. Any fool can do those things. Patriotism is not overthrowing our government with weapons and force. Any idiot can pull a trigger. In fact, those are the most dangerous. Insurrections are the actions of uncivilized, shit hole countries, being ruled by authoritarian dictators. Have we fallen as far as those of whom we reject? Patriotism is being responsible for electing respectable, trust worthy leaders who understand and adhere to our Constitutional laws and order, then allowing the democratic peaceful transfer of power to occur. Please, be mindful of your words and consider that the world is watching US. Please don't embarrass our POTUS while he is working on the world's stage, performing the job we have appointed him to do. As President Biden says, "We're better than that." But, that remains to be seen. It's up to every individual to prove. Don't be the infamous "ugly Americans". Freedom of speech doesn't make arrogance, vulgarity, nor verbal abuse acceptable. Never has; never will. Make Americans proud by showing the world compassion, not abuse. Thank you.

Then, his heirs in waiting could inherit his 'kingdom'. Bada-bing. Just like that. You think I'm crazy? Who's gonna stop him? His only check on power is the Dem controlled House and they have already failed, simply because everyone dismissed it as only a hyper-partisanship. So, guess again. Tick-tock.......(crickets chirping)

  5508. I'm a never-tRumper, who is very unhappy with what I've been watching on MSM, who have been spent the past 2 years telling voters, "Afghan withdrawal, Afghan withdrawal, Afghan withdrawal! Inflation! Inflation! Inflation! Economy! Economy! Economy!" Instead, nothing about how well President Biden has guided US through the worst pandemic in history, saved millions of lives with an amazingly successful vaccine distribution, done everything within the power of the POTUS to mitigate inflation, and has created the strongest economy in the world. President Biden hasn't failed US at any level, MSM has failed our POTUS on every level of responsible reporting. 6 months of reruns of one day when panic-crazed Afghans flooded onto the runway of Karzai airport and 12 troops being killed by a suicide bomber during a terrorist coup. "Oh My! What a horror story!" Not a word about the 2000 who are killed by guns EVERY 3 WEEKS in our own neighborhoods to put it into context. What about reminding folks of the imminent catastrophic effects of climate change? "OMG! Open borders, illegal immigration, fentanyl killing our children!" Staged shit-shows being broadcast to voters by Republcants, yet NOT A WORD about their refusal to allow a comprehensive immigration bill to enter the chambers of Congress for debate! Dems are on the right side of EVERY issue, while the Republicants' ONLY issue is complaining w/o ANY solutions. MSM exploits viewers' ratings, with consistent wailings and endless pontificating over life's every imperfection, while kicking the very Ole Man who is working his butt off to solve those problems. That's what MSM is planting into voters' minds. MSM, AG Garland's ignorance of tRump's election interference, and his brainwashed cult are equally responsible for the downfall of US democracy. MSM keeps the stage set for tRump, Garland's DoJ does nothing and evil is thriving.

  5541. Personally, I feel exactly the same about the lying, cheating Congressional Republicants, who let tRump off the hook during both impeachment trials. IMO, those seditious conspirators should be purged from Congress and imprisoned, in accordance with the law. Yes, I totally get that, Paul. On the other hand, I believe in a democracy with multiple political parties for voters to choose between. Whenever you start demonizing the Republican party, it's no different to tRump's 6 years+ of demonizing Dems, 1/2 of US citizens. That is why our nation is so divided, with a dysfunctional Congress. That's why I narrow my attacks by separating the chaff from the wheat, if you catch my drift. The GOP Republicans (Cheney, Kinsinger, and Uh, Um. Hmm...🤔) have been overthrown by the cult of TDS infected tRumptarded traitors, loyalists, anarchists, domestic terrorists, white supremacists, fascists, corrupt politicians, and bigoted hypocrites. Now, the disgraced (not so) Grand Ole man's Party members hate Dems so much that they'll vote for a POS, first. tRump is against truth, moral decency, and anyone who disagrees. tRumptarded traitors need to be cut from the herd and shamed. tRump's mafioso mob MUST be publicly incarcerated, before our nation can return to greatness and being the shining example for the world to emulate. Right now, the world is only watching tRump thumbing his nose at the DoJ, shaking their heads, and saying, "What a shame how far the once mighty have fallen, just because of lies." Trash the trash until the cows come home, Paul, but please don't waste all the vital water, while trying to flush the turds of society down the sewer, where they belong.

  5617.  @feedingravens  I grew up a Christian household, until I took my high school sweetheart to a school chaperoned dance at the local Armory, one Saturday night. (Dancing to rock n roll was worshiping Satan's music, so were movie theaters). One of the police chaperones was a church member. So, the following night, the congregation pressured me into kneeling at the alter to beg the lord's forgiveness for my sins. I went to the alter, just to get them off my back, then never returned to that church again. So, my sojourn began in search of divine wisdom to learn my life's purpose.. Chariots of the Gods, Guru Maharaji, Tai Chi, Buddhism (not a religion, but a philosophy). But all I found were mankind's grubby fingerprints all over the teachings, profiting from lost souls and seekers of truth. "You gotta meditate, just like I teach you and MAYBE you'll see god. Oh my, you have so much to learn in the meantime. BTW, don't forget to drop off your tithe on the way out, Grasshopper." There was nothing there, no divine purpose, but did learn the ultimate answer to life, the Universe and everything is 42 (ref: Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy). I've concluded that the only immortal, omnipotent, eternal, creator and destroyer of everything in the Universe is named 'Time'. Everything from atomic particles to solar systems and beyond depend upon Time. Every heartbeat, breath, and every moment of every lifecycle of every lifeform is dictated by time. There are hundreds of sayings: Time is of the essence. No one can turn back the hands of Time. Time waits for no one. Time to wake, Time to eat, Time to shower, Time to school, Time for exams, Time to graduate. Time to get a job. Time to leave home. Time to marry. Time to procreate. Time to die. Success depends entirely upon being prepared to perform on Time. Ignoring the signs of Time results in certain failure. Time is god. No Satan, no heavenly rewards, no fiery hell. We only get one shot at life, so make the best of every moment of every day. Learn from past mistakes, live in the moment, and plan for the future. Pray to Time, if you wish. It matters not and provides the same answers as every other god. Don't expect miracles to save you from yourself. Use the brain tht has been evolving for over 8 billion years to survive and thrive, just like every other animal has managed.. Reincarnation from one physical being to another is by the inheritance of parents' combined DNA to their offspring. Therefore the most important endeavor in life is caring for and passing our knowledge to our children, for endless generations to come, each more evolved than the previous. This I understand, because I am the last of my bloodline, without the blessings and joy of teaching my own children. So, now I'm sharing my knowledge with you, instead. Perhaps, I will discuss Yin VS Yang sometime. They are the left and right hands of Time and exist in all things, physical and conceptual. But, that's a different conversation for a different Time.🙄 "A proper Time and place for all things."' Oh, look! It's Time for me to go.💨👻.

  5618.  @feedingravens  Yes, just like the Old Testament was superstitions and mythologies, passed down through thousands of generations, with a little bit of parental morality thrown in to appease the gods. 'What's that rumbling noise from the sky, Papa?" "Well, that's god letting you know that he is angry over you not doing your chores, Son." Every story handed down from Gilgamesh has a moral lesson, to deliberately control the sheeple, with divine laws. IMO, during the missing years from adolescence to adulthood, Jesus journeyed to India and learned his teachings of non violence and peaceful harmony from the Hindi and Buddhist philosophies, which were proliferating throughout Asia. Great stories of enlightenment and civilized cultures, compared to N. African tribes and the Roman conquerors. I don't understand the hatred of peaceful people nor the desire to eliminate them, as the Romans had persecuted Jews and Christians. I believe that Jesus was an enlightened man, who was betrayed by the Jewish culture because he wasn't kosher and professed to be a child of god (just like all mortals). Roman Emperors couldn't allow any divine competition, so they asked the cild of god to prove that he is the son god, "Not my words, but thine." Well, that pissed off the Caesars, so they hung him on a cross, just like the other Christians, who professed to be children of god. Jesus was buried in a tomb, which was robbed by his disciples, who were nearly caught in the act by Roman soldiers. "What have you done with the body of Christ?" "Oh, you just missed him, rising up to Heaven, Officer. I swear that it's the truth. We saw it with our own eyes." Then, the 3 religions of the same god, who commanded, "Thou shall not kill!" proceeded to murder each other in his name for the next 2000 years. Everything is perfectly logical, except for religion. Archeological evidence proves 8 billion years worth of evolution, beyond all logical doubt... but that's not good enough for "god fearing Christians". Best Regards.😎

  5619.  @feedingravens  "The only constant in life is change." - attributed to Heraclitus of Ephesus. The Greek Philosopher, Heraclitus, wrote a single book, now lost to us (over Time 🙄). He is perhaps best known for thoughts on the universe being in constant flux." Google's AI added: "One constant since the beginning of time might be change, however, the fear of change is also a constant. Since times immemorial, humans have liked routine. It makes us feel in control of our lives." How pertinent! Funny ole world, ain't it? Archeological evidence proves that all life forms on Earth are the result of over, an inconceivable, 8 million years worth of evolutionary change. No god required. This is another one of my favorites: "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him." -Voltaire. 8 billion years worth of evolutionary Time is inconceivable, as well as how effective the simple concept of ebb/flow adaptations to maintain the ever changing balance between opposing/attractions of yin/yang, locked in symbiotic coexistence. Nurturing female mothers + protective hunter/gatherer males are vital to the survival of a species. But changing seasons require migration cycles and interdependent social structures among carnivorous predators (who hunt in small organized packs and only consume the weaklings and elderly) and their herbivorous prey (who herd together with vigilant eyes for protection). Only the most aggressive alpha male can be the leader of the pack, with his choice of females. Within that social structure, everyone knows their place and responsibilities, until the alpha dog is defeated by a stronger, more aggressive challenger. No god required; only an individual's strongest instinct for survival and natural selection (mostly by females, IMO) and survival of the fittest (strong aggressive male family defenders/hunter gatherer/providers). Their offspring benefit from inheriting the successful genes from both. Non beneficial mutations are rejected from mating and simply die off. Ironically, the most successful species, like bacteria are the least evolved, yet are vital to the life cycles of all other species in a symbiotic coexistence, such as probiotics. Which is more important to a well balanced, healthy eco system of yin/yang? Simple bacteria, worms and maggots vs the highly evolved, yet mindlessly destructive human species, who has conquered nature into submission, for narcissistic fun, fame, and fortune; aka the 3 evils of mankind? As you have previously mentioned, the more scientific knowledge we have acquired (over Time, since the invention of the printing press), the more detached we have become from the natural world. Since the invention of money, the more detached we have become from the fundamental values of essential necessities and the importance for respectful compensation for the labors of others (aka the balance of income equality). Nowadays, successful mating depends more upon monetary success, so that impotent males can impress independent females with luxurious lifestyles. Opulent mansions, timeshare getaways, pools, Jacuzzis, flashy cars, yachts, gas guzzling toys, and exotic vacations, instead of mindful (favorite Buddhist term) mitigation of the environmental consequences of one's own misguided existence. Gym memberships instead of laborious digging in dirt. Online computer guided trading, instead of productive work that benefits others... emotionally detached from the food chains they are feeding from. Aloof parasitic "gods" being served by their minions, who survive off the morsels of the elites' scraps. How are we any different to the rats in the famous overpopulation experiment? We have become just as intolerant of each other's interference in our lives and only care about competing for oil, the last morsels of food, and drops of drinking water to the point of becoming insanely aggressive predators, enabled by insane weaponry, not only for self defense, but with an insane justice system that supports murder via "stand your own ground" and "neutralizing perceived threats". Cowards carrying guns, with the intent of instantly killing other cowards with guns. The evolution from brute force to clubs, to knives, to firearms, to semi-auto, fully-auto, assault rifles, larger magazines, larger calibers, RPGs, body armor, gangs, prepper militias, ancient tribalism 'perfected' to insanity. Perfection is only a fleeting, ever changing perception. Where is the all seeing divine god of perfect wisdom, the omnipotent creator of a perfect Universe, and the ultimate enforcer of justice? Why would such an entity tolerate the existence of we disobedient human destroyers of his only known inhabited planet in the Universe? We are the cancerous consumers, instead of soul, created in his own image. Our widdle egotistical minds have simply created a mirage in our own image. Fascinating philosophical exchange. BR😎

  5646.  @kybalion5561  I'm happy to be proven wrong, rather than spread misinformation. But, as Sarah Palin said (probably her only sensible statement), "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig." This is not a complicated issue. Yang is blatantly promising voters that they will receive $1000 per month, if they vote for him. No matter how you slice and dice it, I call that bribing voters, plain and simple. I spend most of my days researching political issues and the candidates. So, I assure you that I'm well informed and ignoring nothing. In fact, thanks to you, I just found a video of Tulsi endorsing UBI, after being asked in a town hall event, in Aug. But, this is not her primary 'sales pitch'. I fully agree with the injustice of income inequality and that we live in a system that enables the big fish to gobble up the little fish. With globalization, robots, computerized stock trading, mass distribution of media, and so on, the days of hard work = prosperity are history. The average person, especially the less educated, can no longer compete against a stacked deck. But, IMHO, UBI is not the answer, because it would create an unhealthy paradigm shift in public incentives to participate in being productive members of society. As a hermit, living modestly on social security and a pension. I know whereof I speak. At 67 years old, I've already made my contributions, but this is not how young folks with families should be living. Okay, fine. So, I disagree with Tulsi's position on this. But, I'm not one of those single issue voters, like gun owners, blacks (aka people of color), evangelicals, etc. Tribalism is destroying our nation. I'm listening to the hearts of candidates, their moral core. Tulsi and Bernie soar above the rest by these standards. No doubt about it, Yang knows how to throw a drunken party. But, where is Yang's track record of public service to his nation? (chirp-chirp) Aloha!

  5689. So, you're saying that you approve of President Biden's BBB plan and want all of the benefits, but don't like watching the sausage being made and are already blaming the Dems because their 50/50 +1 Senate majority is incapable of mustering 10 more lousy votes from the Republicants, whose only agenda is ensuring that this administration fails to serve the needs of our nation? "...corporate give away...'? Millions of good paying jobs! 'Obama's bailing out the banks"? "Too big to fail" was Bush's failure, which left Obama/Biden no choice. BTW, they set up a WS watchdog committee, headed by Liz Warren, to ensure that it would never happen again, which tRump eliminated. "Fix lies in "News" Faux Spews? "fix SCOTUS" McConnell packing SCOTUS with incompetent tRump appointees? "fix gerrymandering, fix right to vote, make representation a reality" Red sates' election rigging to cheat Dem voters out of being counted? "Dems need to show some real achievements..." Like saving our nation from becoming a dictatorship? Saving millions of lives by distributing sufficient doses to vaccinate every US citizen, within the 1st 6 months (regardless of those who reject their monumental efforts). Passed the $1.9 ARP stimulus bill, which has kept millions fed and sheltered within their own homes, instead of families being evicted into the streets? FYI, all of the above is resulting in the fastest recovery of any developed nation on Earth. "I can only conclude the oligarchy will not be beaten." tRump is the only American oligarch that I know, pulling his strings on the GQP Congressional cowards, who still kowtow to kiss his ring. Why? Because he is threatening their jobs by funding tRumpist candidates to primary against them during the next midterms. You really need to be more honest with yourself and the BS you're spewing.

  5708.  @grapevinestoragescribner8518  Thank you for that thoughtful and respectful reply. It is neither condescending nor self-righteous. While I agree with many of your points, especially your initial sentence and that spirituality can be practiced without being limited within the boundaries of a specific religion, I still don't see any difference between mankind and other animals. Modern science can detect atomic particles and witness past events while scanning the universe. But, the immortal soul, spirits, and gods can only be recognized via faith. So easily modern man has dismissed Zeus, Thor, Athena and all other gods from ancient history. Yet, many still cling to the belief that there is only one omnipotent god. Then who is Satan, if not another immortal god of evil? Again, even within our own minds, there must be a struggle between good and evil, the ebb and flow between the opposing forces of yin and yang. But, neither yin nor yang need the invisible god nor Satan to exist anymore than action vs reaction. The harder one pushes a swing, the more it will push back in return. Mankind is hung up on some misguided notion that there is some mysterious divine purpose for all things. But, we must be responsible for ourselves and determine our own purpose and goals. Our self worth is dependent upon our own accomplishments, which are only reflections of our endeavors. Others will judge our significance, based upon their own awareness. By definition, The Hermit rejects the misguided judgments of mankind and walks his own path. Life can be as simple or complicated as we make it. I choose simple facts. The Buddha taught that happiness doesn't depend upon wealth nor possessions, but by living respectfully. We can either accept reality or do our part to make it better. This is the ultimate path and purpose of one's life. Why do we need some god to explain that to us? Best regards, Sir.

  5724.  @taskcasburn6086  Hey ass-hole! I said nothing about the cause. But, like most Trumptards, you start by being offensive then evade the issue by going on a partisan right-wing rant against Obama. It's so easy to criticize things and people that you don't understand, then engage in immature name calling. Like your master, Trumptards believe that the POTUS is the ruler of the world and is capable of imposing complete control over other nations. Just bomb them into submission, right? Wrong. There are borders, sovereign nations, international laws, and elections, Bubba. Yes, the situation with China has been brewing for decades, because Americans like to buy inexpensive junk. Then, we trow the junk away, send it back to China, which recycles our trash and sells it back to us. Americans need to get on board with recycling their own trash, producing and utilizing green energy, and mitigating the destruction of life on Earth via global warming. But, Trumptards don't even accept scientific data. Trumptards believe in a spoiled little rich kid, who grows up with a silver spoon in his mouth ($450,000/month childhood allowance), and becomes an irresponsible playboy (abusing women), wasting money on lavish parties, goes bankrupt numerous times, dodges the military by bribing a doctor, runs hardworking subcontractors out of business (refusal to pay bills), over exaggerates his wealth while devaluing his assets to evade paying taxes, consistently lies like a dog, discredits our press and intelligent agencies, generates fake news (a term he coined) to mislead the ignorant so that he can buddy up to our adversaries and disrespect our allies. Even after all of that, you still believe that this narcissistic con man will do anything to help our less fortunate citizens who have become unemployed due to 'progress'. You want solutions? Let's start with getting the Fraud in Chief out of the White House. Send his ass to prison, where he belongs. Facts: Clinton balanced the books. Bush tanked our economy with the Iraq war, based upon lies (nothing to do with 9/11). $5 Trillion and thousands of innocent lives wasted. Obama save our auto industry and was forced to bail out Wall Street. Romney said to let Detroit fall. (Detroit paid back the bailout money). Obama devised the sequester, to force Congress to compromise on a budget, which reduced our deficit from $1.2 Trillion to $800 Billion. Trump has blown up our budget to ~$2 Trillion deficit. BUT, DON'T STOP DRINKING THE KOOL-AID!

  5738.  @tonyroma9046  Well, perhaps this conversation is not a total waste of time, after all. Apparently, once we get past the prejudices and drop the divisive labels, we're neither all that different, crazy, nor rabid. Simply 2 peas in the same pod. IMO, Hillary had devoted a lot of public service to our country and had earned a lot of international respect among our allies. Therefore, she was the most qualified candidate for the job and would have continued with Obama's agenda, which was fiscally and morally responsible. Having said that, IMO, she is too politically wishy-washy to have been an independent leader, beyond special interests' influence (the war machine, etc). As we now know, she was demonized by right wing media (Benghazi) and voters were victimized by Russian troll farm propaganda to benefit Trump. IMO, Trumptards have simply been brainwashed by BS. Hillary and Trump are in the same wannabe 'World's Dynasty' group. Trump's mob is attempting to make him King of the World, with his heirs already in place to inherit his kingdom and crown. Nancy and Chuck are doing their best to defend our democratic republic and enforce our Constitutional laws of oversight. Unfortunately, Nancy didn't go for Trump's jugular vein, and avoided criminal charges, because of Mueller's accepted assertion of Presidential Immunity against criminal behavior. After defying Constitutional accountability, Trump would follow through with his suggestions of ending term limits, if re-elected. Coup d'etat complete, w/o firing a shot. That's why I call him and his mob traitors. So, which are you? Do you want to restore our democracy or trade it for a dictatorship, led by an egomaniacal idiot? Obama did as much as he could, considering the opposition of Moscow Mitch, et al. But, that's all water under the bridge. We need to keep our eyes on the ball and stop falling for Trump's distracting tweets. Every one of them is Trump's premeditated propaganda, a con job to directly manipulate the minds of his supporters. He has them trained to act like circus animals at his rallies, performing precisely on queue. Yet, you call me deranged by TDS. "El contraire.", I say.

  5739.  @tonyroma9046  Yes, it has taken me a lifetime of experiences to become The Hermit. I'm comfortable with/in myself and confidant in my beliefs. So, I try to judge reality as it is. The best con artists are deceptively nice and sound very reasonable. I've learned to take a good look inside every gift horse's mouth. I'll believe straight talk from an asshole any day over that of a boot licker salesman. If I remember correctly, when questioned by a coal miner, "How will coal miners feed their families?", he candidly replied, "Find another occupation." That's called honesty. His point regarding, "You didn't build that, yourself." Was that, businesses need transportation, communications, and infrastructure, provided by taxpayer money. Furthermore, businesses rely upon dedicated, reliable employees to do the physical labor. Even Elon Musk relies upon these things. It was a campaign rebuttal against Romney's assertion that 'businesses are people too, my friend'. Did you intend to say that you want more terms (not limited to only two, as Trump suggests) or more term limits applied to Congressional seats? God forbid the first and makes sense for the second, provided the baby doesn't get thrown out with the bath water every few years. I've attempted to celebrate our similarities and find common ground, but you won't have it. At least we achieved a civil level of communication. Perhaps, 4 years would be more appropriate, if we're still around. Please, help defend our democratic republic. Stay safe. Peace😎

  5776.  @gordontemple9257  Oh BFS!! Dems are the only ones fighting for people of color, you interfering Limey. Biden's administration represents the most racially diverse leadership our nation has ever known. The other side of the political aisle consists of white supremacy nationalists, radical armed militias of anarchists, and an authoritarian mafioso mob mentality for intimidation. Dems are NOT pontificating over filibusters. Their BBB agenda pushes the USA towards a more responsible, sustainable, and independent future, which is being obstructed by Republicant's stonewalled filibusters, which require a 60% majority to pass much needed legislation. Given only a 50/50 Congressional split - 2 DINOs, Dems simply don't have the political power to force through anything that the GQP doesn't already endorse. IOW, it's their way or nothing. There's NO similarities nor common ground between the two parties. One is filled with productive patriots, who are bending over backwards to debate and compromise for vital legislation. The Republicants have no agenda, except for uniting behind a thin-skinned, corrupt, authoritarian, wannabe dictator, whose only purpose is to undermine our government to appease his puppet master, Putin. Only the Republicans need to purge their party of tRumpism and his BS undemocratic 'loyalist' Q-nut 'Freedom Caucus', because the GOP of 'law and order' is already dead. The MAGATs have already devoured it's rotting flesh. Only the lifeless, dried up political skeletons of have-beens still remain in that party. Yes, old school Republicans need to simply die off or evolve, instead of doubling down on devolution. But, the Dems are the only defenders of our nation's democratic republic. IMO, Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, and the Jan 6th Committee members are true living American heroes, including Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. tRump's hijacked GQP are mostly traitors. Now, please stick to your own side of the political pond and stay TF out of our US politics, Englishman.

  5851.  @SeanusAurelius  I'm your atheist huckleberry. I see more love, caring, and higher moral ethics in the animal kingdom than among most religious believers of blind faith.. Animals don't kill each other for pleasure, only for food and self-defense of their families and hunting grounds. Predators and prey have maintained their own populations, until mankind started shooting. For that matter, worms and maggots are more vital to the Earth than mankind, who consumes, destroys, and pollutes, while feeding an insatiable ego in its lust for sex. Let's talk about what your god thinks about the ruthless killing going on between Israel and Gaza. Their same god commanded "Thou shall not kill." So, Muslims, Jews, and Christians have been killing in its name for the past 2000 years. Let's talk about Priests molesting children. Let's talk about what the Puritans did to Native Americans, while stealing their lands. My basis for ethics? Being mindful of the impact of my existence upon the precious natural world, the only known life in the Universe. "Do not harm," is my life's guide. Science has proven that the Earth wasn't created in 7 days, 'Adam and Eve' evolved from the same primordial slime as all other life forms. If your god knows all things, then he knew that no human would resist the temptation of eating a delicious apple. It wasn't a test. It was only a setup, given your beliefs. No god wrote the bible. Flawed men did to control others lives or be struck down by lightning. You can't prove the existence of your god, without referring to flawed writings. "Eye for an eye." "Turn thy other cheek." Which words were from your god? Where is the ethical morality in supporting a notorious life-long, lying, (spew the from his mouth), cheating , bullying (inherit the earth?), whoremongering, tax evading (yield unto Caesar...), billionaire braggart (...camel through the eye of a needle) and wannabe fascist dictator? Your myths are nonsense. Science is absolutely sound and saves lives. It has evolved alongside higher education, physics, and brain capacity. Why are religious zealots praying for the end of your god's only creation of life on Earth? Because of some drug induced nightmare of the apocalypse being gods will? Mankind should be the Earth's maintainers, instead of its cancerous destroyer.

  5878.  @trombone113  "the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed by Captain Samuel Nicholas by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on 10 November 1775, to raise two battalions of Marines." "At the end of the American Revolution, both the Continental Navy and Continental Marines were disbanded in April 1783. The institution itself would not be resurrected until 11 July 1798. At that time, in preparation for the Quasi-War with France, Congress created the United States Marine Corps. Marines had been enlisted by the War Department as early as August 1797 for service in the new-build frigates authorized by the Congressional "Act to provide a Naval Armament" of 18 March 1794." IOW, the Continental Marines, of which you reference were not a part of the yet to be formed USA government and had nothing to do with the 2nd amendment, because the US Constitution wasn't written until 1776. The US Congress formed the official US Marine Corps in 1798. So what? As I stated, in 1776 when our Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in 1789, our newly formed nation was without a formal military, so the 2nd Amendment was provided to allow individuals to protect themselves. "The Second Amendment (1791) protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. Although the Supreme Court has ruled that this right applies to individuals, not merely to collective militias, it has also held that the government may regulate or place some limits on the manufacture, ownership and sale of firearms or other weapons. Requested by several states during the Constitutional ratification debates, the amendment reflected the lingering resentment over the widespread efforts of the British to confiscate the colonists' firearms at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Patrick Henry had rhetorically asked, shall we be stronger, "when we are totally disarmed, and when a British Guard shall be stationed in every house?" What gives you the impression that I have any communistic ideas? I'm happy to debate issues, but I'm tired of listening to right wing extremist rhetoric and childish name calling. Frankly, I could care less about guns nor the issue of 2nd amendment rights. I don't own one, don't want one, and don't hang around people who carry them. Therefore, it is literally no big deal. My primary issue is defending our nation against Trump's mob. No, I'm not wearing a foil hat, I've been watching and have become very aware of Trump's agenda, which would destroy our nation. Left vs right, conservative vs liberal, etc, etc are all petty differences, of which are only the status quo of politics. More than anything, I'd like those days to continue (but more productively, of course) So, lets drop all of the divisiveness and discuss why you still support Trump, in spite of >200,000 COVID deaths, his constant lies, being an international embarrassment, and the NY mafioso godfather.

  5879.  @trombone113  First of all, thank you for your service to our nation. For that reason I would like to respectfully reply to your comments. Military service says a lot about a man, like having adjusted to a regimented lifestyle of discipline and training to become an efficient killing machine. These things are literally drilled into you minds, until it becomes your identity because you have committed your life towards self defense and offence. It's almost like you guys are popped out of a single mold. Right? But, you know nothing about The Hermit, do you? That's why you've only thrown a bunch of right wing bullshit in my direction to see what sticks. Well, it's not just an alias. I AM a 68 year old retired hermit, with no family nor friends, unless you count as one in passing. I'm affiliated with no political party, nor social group. In fact, we have mutually excluded each other. IMO, mankind became misguided when money was invented for middlemen to nibble away at the 'pie'. "Suffer not those who would sell the fruits of your labors for only words." Then, the industrial revolution kicked into high gear, along with environmental destruction and raping the earth for profit, regardless of the long term consequences. The mindlessness of mankind is literally causing the end of most life on earth. We have exploited the earth, animals, and each other for hundreds of years. Now, we need to use our ingenuity and technology to reverse the damage we have caused. This is not a political issue, it's a matter of being responsible for the continuance of future generations. IOW, we need to go back to the future. So, you tell me, Trombone, am I a progressive techie, supporting someone else's 'Green New Deal"; or am I a conservative, concerned with conserving nature, wildlife, clean water and air? For that matter, why don't conservatives support conserving natural resources, instead of fighting for oil and coal fossil fuels?

  5966. YO ELON! THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW... THERE IS AND NEVER HAS BEEN AN OPEN BORDER POLICY!! THAT IS ONLY THE RIGHT WING MEDIA BS MESSAGING THAT HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEM. What's not getting out: tRump's 2016 campaign was all about fearmongering over the border. "Our border is wide open with illegals, drugs, and human traffickers pouring in. I'm going to build a big beautiful wall that Mexico will pay for...blah blah blah" This is what tRump and Republicans have been daily broadcasting to the world, for the past 7 years. Instead of doing their jobs in DC, Congressmen in suits have been staging Faux shit shows at the border. In the middle of the night, they have literally been demonstrating to the world how easily immigrants are crossing the Rio Grande (while outside the camera's FOV, BP is apprehending those same illegals). These Congressional right wing tRumptards and Fox are not ignorant of the fact that the world watches American TV, even dubbed into their own native languages. They have deliberately and effectively been sending an invitation to the world, while Dem administrations are in power, for political gain. They only want to complain about the problem that they're causing, instead of solving the problem. Whenever poor, cartel threatened people see the Republican's BS, they head for the land of wealth and freedom. The more MSM broadcasts this BS, the more illegal immigrants come, profiting the cartel human smugglers and American slave shops who work them in exchange for filthy rooms and boarding. They owe the cartel traffickers thousands of $ for 'travel expenses', a debt they might pay off over decades of labor. Republicans don't want to solve the problem. They only want to play ignorant blame games, as this video demonstrates. Dems have been pushing Congress to pass "comprehensive immigration reform legislation" for decades, but Republicans have refused. This is the problem. Furthermore, voters fall for the right wingers' BS fearmongering and believe that voting for these corrupt Republicans will solve the problem. Otherwise, they would legislate effective solutions, but they have no ideas. Now, we have tRump's 'loyalist' incompetent Q-nuts deliberately sabotaging our House, solely to appease mafia don's insatiable desire for vengeance. These few Q-nuts are threatening to default on paying their own bills, threatening to shutdown the US government, threatening to defund vital agencies, and threatening to impeach President Biden, who has guided US through the pandemic shutdowns and the consequences of tRump's incompetence. These Congressional tRumptards are incompetent traitors, who will be purged from Congress in 2024. US citizens are already sick of their chaos and incompetence. Last but not least, Elon needs to stick to inventing amzing technology and STAY TF AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA AND POLITICS!

  5986.  @watchfulrasputin  "My bad." is an expression used by kids, who are admitting that they have done something wrong. In other words, my 2 year old self was admitting to not understanding Crimean history. It was intended as a joke. If that is truly your family heritage, then I sincerely apologize for suspecting you of being a Russian. So, after defending Russian aggression and Putin, you are offended with the dots I connected? I stand by my assessment that Canada would never allow Russian missiles on their border, aimed against the US. That is nothing more than bat-sh!t crazy talk. Yet, you associate that level of insanity with Dems. Although I have to agree with your assessment regarding next Nov. The DNC has moved too far left for me, so I'm changing my affiliation to Independent, even though I don't believe in splitting the popular vote. That's what happened in 2016 when Bernie supporters stayed home. Now, our nation is in turmoil, internally and internationally. Trump is clueless regarding public service and governance. Trumptards hate Dems. No one trusts the MSM, after that shameless excuse of a non-biased debate. And alternative news sources have their own motivations. In other words, Trump has successfully discredited everyone but himself, as dictators tend to do. No one can figure out what Blumberg is doing, perhaps a third party run. Latest reports are that Obama is stepping in to stop Bernie and there are speculations that Hillary will jump into the race. WTF is going on with our country? Tulsi is our last hope for returning to sanity.

  5987.  @AtariM216  Just watched Part 1 of the Stone/Putin interview. Thank you, it was very interesting. It reminded me a lot of living in England 78-88, when my POV became much more Anglicized than American, because I learned all about the Europeans' opinions of the 'Ugly Americans', how 'they' were the warmongers, invading sovereign nations in the name of 'Freedom' (instead of oil). I also learned a lot about 'socialism', people contributing a little for the benefit of all, such as healthcare. These are the reasons I identified with Dems. Bush had no reason to attack the Taliban, nor Iraq. I was appalled and embarrassed when he won a second term. So, he tanked our economy and Obama won. Prior to Obama, I was ignorant of politics. But, he spoke from the heart and with deep moral conviction, like Tulsi does, so I proudly supported him, as I do Tulsi. Obama saved our economy from collapse, saved our auto industry from bankruptcy, gave us ACA (which insurance companies undermined), and did the best he could have dealing with the mess in the Middle East. (go folks, shoot your best shots) But, now Obama is the bad guy. Clinton is the wicked witch from the East. The entire DNC is corrupt. No one trusts anyone, especially the MSM. Oh yeah, Dems are traitors and Trump is innocent of everything. Even if he isn't he can't be indicted nor charged, because presidents are above the law. Yeah, Putin looks pretty logical doesn't he? I come here to support Tulsi and to swat away a few trolls, who criticize her. But, I'm obviously not Aloha enough. So, perhaps I should keep my POV to myself. This stuff is so crazy that I would be much more blissful to be ignorant of it all and mind my own patch of the woods. Animals are much more pleasant to spend my time with. Aloha World! Rots-a-ruck! I truly hope that you manage to get it together. 😎
