  1. Just tell us you are willing to place the safety of 350 million American citizens in to the hands of a man who was literally found to mentally compromised to stand trial before you dare let a Donald Trump possibly win. That's all you gotta say. You'll sacrifice the whole nation if it means Trump doesn't win.

  2.  @crownuk4867 I'm not asking you to vote for Trump. I'm asking you how, in a world where Democrats demanded the 25th when Trump picked up a glass of water with 2 hands, do we not seek the 25th for a president who has three times now spoken with dead people, called blue states green states, is actually found by a special prosecutor to be not worthy of pursuing charges on because his memory is too frail, can't remember when he wad VP, can't remember when his son died, can't remember when he stopped being VP...Can we at LEAST agree that of picking up a glass with two hands makes one unfit for office...that all the above should bring one in to question too? Is that fair?

  3.  @herbertrodriquez6456  I, as a Republican, do not. In fact I do believe the two party system is beyond repair give the staunch religious devotion each side has to its own. I want to see a system where multiple parties have a legitimate shot at election season. I'd love to see an indie for example, cause I am more and more convinced that the establishment republicans are merely passive Democrats. Not really willing to DO anything when they have the ability. So, I in no way support a one party...or even a two party system at this point.

  4.  @herbertrodriquez6456  I have to apologize for my original comment accusing you of wanting to see a one party rule. I should have asked rather than assumed. I stand firmly corrected, and I apologize for that. You are 100% spot on! No one party needs to have permanent rule, whether by force, or by clever mental manipulation of the population. If my neighbor wants to vote Democrat, Independent, Green Party, etc...they are free to do so. If I want to vote against the Democrat party for any other party...that should NOT make me a segregationist. That should make me a free individual American. Any party who uses such harsh language to condemn those who disagree can surely be assumed to have bad intentions. Otherwise, the harsh language wouldn't be necessary. The idea would sell itself.

  6. We have been told for years that the entire right is evil. They are racist. They are bigots. They are Nazis. We have been told for years these conservative leaning justices are evil, bigots, Nazis...etc. It makes perfect sense someone would then set out to kill Hitler. We have had Chuck Schumer open the floodgates to this saying "You have released the whirlwind! You won't know what hit you!" These justices are appointed for life. They can't be elected out, so what else could it mean to say "You won't know what hit you?" The constant drip of vile hatred toward these folks has fed in to it to the point that people are not making it a mission to assassinate those who stand in their way.

  7. There's a LOT more than this to admit. But you were too far lost in your religious default hatred of all things across the aisle to be able to see it until it was too late.

  8. The Democrat is about 1 step away from telling us Mars Attacks was real found footage at this point...You have GOT to be mental to believe any of this garbage.

  9.  @DZ477  There won't be. Pure political garbage designed to try and convince enough people to be ok with hungry babies, $7/gallon gas, and perpetually empty food shelves. Ya know, long as we don't have mean tweets an all...

  11. Jesus also chased people with whips when necessary. A whip is a weapon. There is a time and place for the use of weapons. Keeping your wife and children...or yourself alive is a good time. Wherever that place happens to be is a good place.

  12.  @zadok22  Ok. I agree, Jesus was clearing out people who where there for evil intent. What then, would you think of Boebert using any of these guns to eliminate someone entering her house with evil intent?

  13.  @wizardofoz641 I'll do ya one better. There's a simple VERY easy way for the White House to dispel this idea. A way both the media and Biden himself can gallop through to November proudly saying "THEY LIED!", a way the White House can immediately clean up the mess...a cognitive test. What are the odds they would take such a simple measure to mitigate such a massive issue? And why won't they do that? It's a plug for a MASSIVE whole in the boat isn't it?

  14. Abortion was NEVER a constitutional right. It is nowhere to be found in the Constitution. This will send it down to the states to decide. If you live in Cali, you can obliterate all the kids you want. If you live in New York, you can slaughter your children from sun up till sun down 7 days a week. In states where the majority choose not to be ok with it...their kids will live. Simple as that.

  15. The kind of pacisfist that chased people with whips?

  16. Hey, eh...if you were here 6 months ago trying to federally mandate that I have a needle forced in to my arm against my religious or personal convictions...I don't wanna hear you complaining about Roe falling. Pretty simple.

  17. So the take away is, despite the horror of year one...Biden is now going to lower the price of everything under the sun AND cure cancer itself going forward. Yeah, ok.

  18.  Mike Hill  No, they've been spot on about him. There's a reason he isn't in the spot light anymore...

  19. Why do you equate supporting someone's right to speak and agreeing with what that person says? Those are not the same thing. I firmly believe the Muslims are free to worship when and how they see fit to....your logic would mean I am a Muslim for that reason....

  20. He's the guy who campaigned on being a great unifier in such a divided country, and then deems a full 50% of the entire United States to be members of the fuckin Confederate Army if they don't fucking agree with him hahahahahah!

  21. Well no. No one should be forced to do anything. That's how freedom works.

  22. But to play along, everyone who criticizes the police should be forced to do a ride-along.

  23. And there are RN's who are not taking the vax. So that point is invalid anyways.

  24. And one who laughs at the suffering of Americans under the inflation he caused while it's joked about? Mind you, he didn't even crack a smile at the Hunter Biden joke, so there's that for comaprison.

  25. The are perfectly free to do so, and at least Manchins own constituents would want him to. Are you against people voting with the interests of the people they represent back home?

  26.  @deborahfreedman333  "First, I really doubt you're telling the truth, or are even a woman. Second, if you were so devastated by an abortion, you didn't have the strength to be a good mother, so it is a good thing you didn't raise that child." But wait, since she's a woman (and I have no reason to doubt that), are we supposed to believe her because of "Believe All Women"? Why is this woman suddenly not to be trusted? Because she doesn't agree with you?
    1
  27. "Mmmk" what? What kind of a person can be sent to bleed profusely in to a toilet while pushing out their aborted child, and NOT be negatively effected by that? Normal people would be effected negatively by that, don't ya think?

  28.  @ididntvoteforsippycup310  For all these mindless cancel culture garbage going on...funny how no one is interested in cancelling a company that was actually founded to actually exterminate the black community...and still aims to place their offices strategically in black communities to get the biggest bang for their buck.

  29. It's pretty simple. It's more politically expedient to rile up votes by trotting out after every shooting and demanding we agree with them and vote for them to change things...but never actually change things. Cause if the problem is solved, there's one less thing to prey on peoples emotions over to rile a vote. It's better for them to forever and always complain that nothings changed and get a vote "to change it" every four years...than to change it and have to come up with another reason to get people to vote.

  30.  @bonnie7898  Thank you for stating what I already know. For the 3rd time, my point is the overwhelmingly different ways these things are covered depending on who the shooter is. Sure THIS white guy was racist. But it wouldn't have mattered if he wasn't because we KNOW, based on previous evidence, that being white and a shooter MAKES it all about racism no matter what. The conversation instantly revolves around racism for weeks. If the shooter is Hispanic, or any other non white/black, it's guns and mental health, and if they are black...the media mentions the shooting for a few days and it disappears with as little mention of the shooters race as possible. Why?

  31. It is long overdue for many of them on both sides of the aisle. Please don't pretend it's not.

  32. So when do these stop being gaffes? When does the WH FINALLY start to acknowledge that these routine screw ups, that are now causing real word threats, are a problem? Also, why does he NEED a typed out verbatim list of the questions he will receive, and the answers he is supposed to give, word for word? At what point to Democrats finally acknowledge what we have been saying for years now?

  33. Coincidentally, they began rising right when Biden took office. But I'm sure it's all the fault of those pesky oil companies. No way cutting out keystone, and cancelling leases had any impact on gas prices. Nah. Besides, it's much better for the environment to stop drilling here and buy our oil from unregulated countries who ship it across seas on leaky barges. The reality is, we have simply outsourced our pollution. It makes no difference to the environment if America is producing it's pollution in Russia, China, or America. It's pollution. To pretend cutting off the pipeline here was an effort to protect the environment is an absolute joke. You are starting a fire in your bedroom because you don't want the living room to burn.

  34.  @nobodynowhere7163  So..you either nominate or you don't. We aren't playing timeframe games. If you have the ability to nominate, you should nominate. Left or right. It doesn't matter if you or I agree. It's what you are supposed to do. It doesn't become a bad thing when one party is in control, and a good thing when the other one is in control. That's garbage. It's a function of government. If there's time to nominate, there is nothing wrong (with either side) filling the gap. Ultimately, the left was simply beside themselves having to watch two people they knew would not be a wish list genie for the left being nominated. I, as a conservative, simply think the spot should be filled if it's opened. Left or right. It's a function of the government. I prefer not to have anyone selected primarily on the basis of their skin color or gender cause we kinda had a whole civil rights movement over that trash...but here we are.

  35.  @nobodynowhere7163  I'm not asking you to believe me. You don't know me. I'm just telling you where I stand. On the Merrick Garland thing...that was fine too. Republicans had the upper hand on votes, they were perfectly within their right to say no. Picking a nominee does not mean they get the seat with no question. They must be voted in. As of now, democrats have the vote, and the ability to make the pick. The nominee will go through. If we have a republican president, and a democrat controlled Senate...they are perfectly within their right to not confirm. Republicans controlled the Senate under Obama when he picked Garland. They exercised their right to vote no. I hope you understand that concept. Just because a Biden or a Trump selects someone, it doesn't mean they MUST be confirmed. They are simply selected. The senate says yes or no. Bottom line. It doesn't matter if you or I agree with them.

  36.  @nobodynowhere7163  "good, then we understand that whoever controls the Senate can block a nominee no matter what. Years could therefore pass with empty seats at SCOTUS; you seem to be fine with that." That logic requires you to disagree with democrats dragging out the Kavanaugh hearing. I assume you believe Democrats had an obligation to confirm Kavanaugh?
    1
  37.  @nobodynowhere7163  Once again, given your understanding that if a president selects someone, there is an obligation to nominate (using your own Garland argument of course), you are required to admit that Democrats were obligated to confirm Kavanaugh and Barret and were wrong to fight it. Are you willing to concede that? If you aren't, then you must admit you are merely in search of the most politically convenient measure at the given time and have no real interest in intellectual consistency and integrity as the rules for you would change depending on who is in control. I, as a fair person, would like to give you the opportunity to take the higher road.

  38.  @nobodynowhere7163  And I will have to assume your sudden silence is due to the fact that you can not answer my question without calling yourself out. Have a good weekend.

  39. And all 1000 CNN viewers have made it to this comment section to buy in to yet another media lie that Fox never covered it. When you outright ignore the reality of things in order to paint a specific picture you WANT people to see...you are promoting propaganda not news. And that is why CNN is about to be reduced to broadcasting out of a rusty trailer with a flip phone. No one is watching anymore. In fact, this whole hearing is about 4 times the life span of CNN+ if that says anything.

  40. Yeah....this is fascism. When the government marries the private sector, and uses the private sector to do the dirty work it can not do itself. We simply have a fascist government that is reaching through the glove of a private company in order to drop it's iron fist on it's citizens for wrong speak.

  41. First he was supposedly a disciple of the right because his grandfather wore a MAGA hat one time a few years back...then he came out as non binary and so the narrative is now that he was bullied by the right in to committing violence out of desperation...SOMEHOW SOMEWAY the media WILL make their political opponents responsible for this instead of the shooter himself. Question is, now that he's come out as non binary...will the accusations of mental illness continue, or will they cease in an effort to not even appear to link gender confusion to over all mental confusion?

  42. How do you know this would have been prevented? Are you a wizard?

  43.  @pmclaughlin4111  All those things do not give you the ability to know this kid would have thought "Looks like I can't go shoot people now...darn laws..."

  44.  @blackeyedsusan727  Ok. But again, how does one know without a shadow of a doubt that if "X" would have happened back then, it ABSOLUTELY 100% would have prevented this kid from shooting his grandmother in the face and going to the school?

  45. And as I said, our enemies have ZERO fear of President Pee Pants. Biden gave a speech yesterday, Putin laughed, gave him the finger, and carried on with his plans. We are NOT in a good place as a country right now.

  46.  @davidguelette7036  Consider how you came to a position of believing half the population is "unclean" and worthy of death at this point. Then ask yourself how the Germans came to the same position on Jews in 1939. Cause those Germans DEFINITEYLY were convinced the Jews were unclean and that they were the source of disease and death....just like you believe about your fellow Americans now. You are firmly in the belief that the "unclean" (Jew, if you are in Nazi Germany) are responsible for your anguish, inability to live a normal life, and need to be removed from society. Ask yourself how you got there. I'd ever want you to be left to die for "someone more worthy of a hospital bed". That is a despicable thought.
    1
  47.  @SusanKay-  Nope. I'd venture to say most of those on their 6th shot in 4 months are more in fear than anyone who hasn't gotten a single one. I'm all for anyone who want's a vaccine getting one. I'm not for making anyone get one.
    1
  48.  @davidguelette7036  The only logical human response to all this is: If someone is sick, they need helped. The new leftist response is: Only those who do as they are told and get vaccinated should be helped. That is a disgusting inhuman nasty world view that requires stripping one of their humanity on your part.

  49.  @davidguelette7036  "you lost all credibility comparing the people fighting this deadly war with the the monsters guilty of the most horrible mass genocide in modern history. The health care workers under this mind numbing duress didn't sign up to give legitimacy to your warped political veiws." Healthcare workers. Does that include the ones who got fired for not getting the vaccine in the middle of the pandemic? Again, this isn't a comparison to the Holocaust. It is a comparison to how people were led down the path to allowing the Holocaust to happen. We are at the point where you personally prefer I die for not being vaxxed if its between me and someone who is vaccinated and gets the virus anyways. Ask yourself, what makes the actual distinct difference in who is more worthy if we both have virus, we both need the hospital, and one of us is vaccinated? WHY is the vaccine the thing that makes person A worthy and person B unworthy?

  50.  @davidguelette7036  You literally told me to stay home and suffer (and potentially die) rather than take up an ICU bed meant for someone who deserves it more....what other possible implication does that make other than I don't deserve to live if it comes down to it?
