An appropriate quote from Isaac Asimov…
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our cultural and political life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that, my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Nowhere is that more obvious than the influence of the Trump cult on the one-time republican party. Fortunately, the vast majority of Americans, including a significant percentage of former republicans, have recognized the big lie, and are broadly rejecting Trumpism.
The American people are very much more aware and intelligent than Trump will ever give them credit for.

Leftau, since there is no such thing as "Trumpism" or a "Trump Cult", I will simply dismiss that as a figment of your imagination, brought on by your totally unhealthy fixation with Trump.
Trump is no longer President. Get it? Yes he kicked Hillart Clinton's behind, but that was 5 years ago. Get over it. It is eating you up.

Leftau, you lie again. You have no idea what I believe to be true and false, nor will I give you the satisfaction in this regard, either way. And since I am not required to state my beliefs to you, any of your suppositions so far as I am concerned are just that a lie. And you know what that makes you.

So Mr. VanGennip refuses to confirm or deny his Trump cult membership. However, he defends him as being a great or good "administrator," and claims it's OK if you "truly believe" a big lie.
The very idea of cult membership should be so abhorant that "sitting on the fence" is unlikely.
In Mr. VanGennip's case it seems that he " looks like" a cult member, "walks like" a cult member, and "talks like" a cult member, therefore it's likely he is a cult member.
And the easiest way to prove he's not a cult member, is to admit the big lie is exactly that.
The corollary to this is simply that refusal to deny the big lie, strongly confirms belief in the big lie.

How about the Big Lie that is trying to become the first American Dictator who has been overruled by Federal judges over his southern border policies and Turnip Brain Biden's Illegal vaccine mandates - poor Turnip can't win for losing however the problem is that he's taking the USA down with him.
Why not worry about the current sad state of events and not look back at Trump's presidency - you know that Hyperinflation which actually is an extra tax on all Americans who drive cars or buy the necessities of life, open borders that allow covid infected Illegals entry into the USA, Trillions of Vote Buying Spending that our kids and grandkids will be saddled with, the lost prestige in the World's court of opinions from Biden's senile demented miscues that has our enemies and our allies laughing from his failed disgraceful Afghanistan withdrawal leaving hundreds of American citizens behind along with $82 billion of USA Useable military equipment, going from oil Independence to begging OPEC for more oil that's Dependence, good grief man - LET'S GO BRANDON! Oh, BTW with a 38% approval rating which is about the same as a used car salesman!

Seems there are better results in some areas...
"Covid deaths are getting redder: Fatalities in counties that voted more than 60% for Trump are higher and rising faster than in those that backed Biden because of lower vaccination rates, data finds.
"COVID-19 death tolls per capita are now higher in counties where Donald Trump got more than 60% of the vote compared to counties that went for Joe Biden."

I fully agree on Freedom of the press.
But an honest newspaper only presents factual news in the news section of the paper and presents their ideas and propaganda in the editorial section. A reader should not have to investigate to find which is what.
If I don't subscribe to their opinions on the editorial page I may opt out on my subscription.

Do you believe that if Trump were president he would have mandated vaccinations for every American?
Could it be that President Biden was wrong in allowing people a testing option, to avoid vaccination?
Vaccines and testing have been available for free all year and there's no rational reason for individuals to refuse the shot.
Maybe all those anti-vaccine activists, anti-mandate lawsuits, and anti-medical science governors had something to do with the numbers in 2021.
I'd be fairly sure that all of those legislatures and politicians against vaccine mandates were already vaccinated themselves.

Is there an explanation for your inability to recognize the difference between unvaccinated people dying in 2020 before there was a vaccine, and unvaccinated people dying in 2021 because they inexplicably refuse to take a safe, proven life saving vaccination?
Can this be blamed on anything other than simple "stoopidity?"

Democratic candidate Joe Biden excoriated Donald Trump’s response to the disease in an unanswerable indictment of the sitting president. “220,000 Americans dead. If you hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this… Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.”

What is your point? Biden said he was going to stop the Virus and that was not conditional on anything, and he has not. He said a President should resign with that may deaths and there was no vaccine, Now we have more deaths and a vaccine, why doesn't Biden resign. Oh Lord what am I saying, the Democrats don't have anybody competent to replace him, even though he is incompetent himself? Wow, what a mess the Democrats have put us in!
What is your solution Leftau? You have been lavish with your condemnation of Trump for his handling of the virus, now we have a worse situation, where is your condemnation of Biden for a worse job.

Leftau, what is so difficult for you to understand that the bulk of the period you so lavishly criticize, there was no vaccine. It was still on the fast track that Trump's administration was responsible for setting up and the vaccine came into being and vaccinations commenced at the end of his term. Biden criticized Trump for restricting travel from disease Hotspot, but is now doing the same thing.
Leftau trying to be honest for a change, just admit it, you're just a political whiner that hasn't got over Hillary getting her clock cleaned.

Rick, while Trump is not helping the situation, how can anyone blame him for poking a few sticks himself. He was investigated, hasseled, harrassed and litigated against as far as impeachment for four long years, and not being satisfied yet for him having kicked Hillary Clinton's *** in 2016, the Democrats wanted to impeach him after he left office. It's just a case of what goes around comes around, and the Democrats need to quit whining about it and realize they are in a big boys game. As Harry Truman once said, if you cannot stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

I cannot say who started it or when, but my bet is you will be going back a good number of administration's for the answer. I can remember as a youngster the Truman Administration. Personally, I kind of liked the old boy, he was closer to Trump than anything in being outspoken. But in all of those years, I have never seen the kind of hatred that was unleashed on Trump.
It seems the only thing that puts the majority of Americans behind their current President whomever it is at the time, is to have an outside threat like a war or threat of one at least. I would give Bush II and the destruction of the Towers in New York as an example. And that didn't last very long.

Rick S.,
"...you can not illegally force People out of their jobs and livelyhood no matter who you are, no matter the issue."
Nothing's being done "illegally."
Any construction worker will lose his job if he refuses the OSHA enforced "Hard Hat Mandate" established by his company.
Failure to accept company mandated PPE requirements will get you fired faster than you can say "unconstitutional mandate."
The main difference is that refusing to wear a hard hat harms only the individual violator. Refusing Covid 19 testing can harm the individual, his co-workers, his friends and his family.
It should never have become a political issue. (Thanks Trump.)

Mr. Braswell,
If it were a "Trump" vaccine, why are so many of the unvaccinated cult members dying of Covid-19 because they refused the shots?
In fact, corona vaccines were being developed by US Army labs in Maryland since the early 2000's and had nothing to do with Trump. His biggest contribution was getting out of the way.
It's also interesting that residents of "Trump" counties are dying of Covid-19 at rates 3 to 6 times higher than residents of "Biden" counties.
Wonder why that is?
Perhaps just one more unintended consequence of the big lie.

Leftau and others have been spouting on about the failures and eventual demise of the Republican Party, while not paying attention to what is happening in their own Party.
Below is an example of what is happening with many in their own midst. The eventual sinking into the reality of a Communist, so called, Utopia.
Here these tools are saying there will be no Totalitarian Rule. Wait until these Democrat tools and what rhymes with it wake up and find out they were taken. And now they are Subjects rather than Citizens.
America has been a free country where a kid can leave home with $10 in his/her pocket with the instructions not to lose it and become a self supporting citizen not needing a benevolent government to provide for him/her, or he/she can become a follower of a misguided tool and what rhymes with it.
Let's keep America a free country where people can have their own pride of accomplishment rather live on a sub standard government subsistence.

Back in the beginning there was the original lie...
"My crowd was bigger than Obama's"
All of this culminated in the big lie of the election being stolen.
In between there were thousands and thousands of just plain lies. specifically about denial of Covid-19.
Remember 2020...
Trump’s Responses to the Coronavirus Outbreak:
Jan 22 -- “We have it pretty much under control. It’s one person coming from China.”
Feb 2 -- “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China. It’s going to be fine.”
Feb 24 -- “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock market starting to look very good to me.”
Feb 25 -- “CDC & my administrationare doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
Feb 25 -- “I think that’s a problem that’s going to go away. They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
Feb 26 -- “The 15 cases within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
Feb 26 -- “We’re going very substantially down, not up.”
Mar 2 -- “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don’t think that could have an impact, or much of an impact on corona?”
Mar 2 -- “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.
Mar 4 -- “If we have thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work – some of them go to work, but they get better.”
Mar 5 -- “I NEVER said that people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
Mar 6 -- “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job of keeping it down.”
Mar 6 -- “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. And tests are beautiful.”
Mar 6 -- “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for President.”
Mar 6 -- “I don’t need to have our numbers double because of 1 ship that wasn’t our fault.”
Mar 8 -- “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on the Coronavirus.”
Mar 9 -- “The Fake News Media & their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power to inflame the Coronavirus situation.”
Mar 10 -- “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
Mar 13 -- National Emergency Declaration.
----- ---- --- -- -
Now we’ve over 800,000 deaths and over 50 million cases. How many could have been avoided if Trump had acted responsibly and vaccination refusal did not become a political cause?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Dec 10, 2021, at 2:18 PM
Leftau, you need to get your head out of your annus. Trump has taken shots and recommended people take them. Why didn't Biden stop the disease as he promised? Why doesn't he resign as he said Trump should?

BS Lettau: You need to thank President Trump and his Warp Speed Team that got 2 covid FDA approved vaccines in 9 months that most folks (even Dr. Fauci) said couldn't be done....never count Trump out on anything!
Then Democratic candidate Joe Biden excoriated Donald Trump’s response to the disease in an unanswerable indictment of the sitting president. “220,000 Americans dead. If you hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this… Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.” Well, Turnip Brain Biden when are you going to resign?
It's now been 118 days since Turnip Brain Biden left behind 500 plus American citizens to fend for themselves in a terrorist country. But hey these citizens are pleased as punch that Biden got all of the military out plus unvetted Afghans while they are at the mercy of the terrorists! Well, Turnip Brain Biden when are you going to resign?

"Clinton’s inability to let go of her loss to the 45th president is just embarrassing for her at this point."
It is my observation there are a lot more of the far left cultists who cannot get over Hillary's 5 year old loss. Hillary does not grieve alone.
Am I not correct Leftau?
No matter what Trump did or does, he must not be forgiven for trouncing Hillary in 2016. He must be punished!!!
If it wasn't so tragic it would be funny to watch the Leftist Democratic Party twist and turn and moan and groan in their self pity over Hillary's 2016 Loss to Donald Trump.
And just think, Hillary had her heart warming acceptance speech already written, all for nothing.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Dec 11, 2021, at 2:25 PM
As usual you're wrong.
I have no sympathy for her at all. She lost fairly. She conceded, there were no "steal" accusations and there was no insurrection. All those reactions are republican/conservative characteristics.
I'd suggest she knows her loss was largely her own fault with the email business. Comey didn't help, but her obsession with secrecy hurt more.

Leftau as usual uou try to cover up facts. THillary and the Democrats went so far as to try and get Electoral College Members to vote differently than they were required by their States to do so. Hillary Clinton only grudgingly conceded and in 2020 advised Biden not to conceded.
As a matter of fact within 72 hours you started on your 5 year long now whining and criticizing Trump no matter what he did.

You started in on the man within hours of him being declared the winner. Don't worry, I can prove it. I have a copy of your post just in case you tried to deny it.

Leftau below is a lie in itself.
"Anytime you're asked for specifics, you disappear. What lies?"
I do not disappear. I rarely miss a day on here. And I point out a number of your lies as we go. I don't have the time to record everything you post. And going back, I do not have time for as, I am for all practical purposes 24 hour a day caregiver for a sick spouse only getting time off is when one of my daughters can spell me. On top of that I am managing and supervising some upgrades on a building I built 22 years ago which gives me some passive income. Therefore I do not have to work in my retirement, like you, or try living on Social Insecurity. I invested in my future retirement as I went. If that were not enough, I am a Board Member serving as President of the HOA in the Villas we reside in. A job I did not need but was shamed into doing because they could not get anyone to run for the position. If you have ever done one of those numbers you will know that it is a thankless job with no pay.
What I have just told you if you do not understand. I have no time left to record all of your lies on here. I will stick to calling them out as I see them. If that isn't good enough for you, stick to the facts.

Leftau that Democratic talking point that you chant like a first-grade student has nothing to do with anything here. We were not discussing that and what I believe on the point is not at issue as I have refused to let you trick me into saying one way or the other. You thinking you're cute enough to get me to say what you want is sadly mistaken.
As I have stated to you before, when it comes down to handling the job of President, I still would trust Trump to do a better job than I would either Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton in my book is morally bankrupt and Joe Biden is incapable of making an intelligent sentence without reading from a note what someone else has written. And way to often he stumbles around trying to do that. As I have said before Trump was not my choice to begin with, Just better than the inferior product the Democrats tried to sell us. I voted against them. Realistically in this country, we have a choice for President between two people the Democrat or the Republican, the rest don't stand a snow balls chance in hell and I don't waste my vote on them. Way too many times the choice is the best of the worst, when voting for a candidate for any office in this country. But that is politics and still night and day better than living in a Communist country where that 90,000 strong group I gave you a link to would like to take us.

"Nothing I pointed out today are lies."
Leftau, just in case you thought I would let that slip by, you are mistaken again.
When you state as a fact this one single sentence as fact, like you did, rather than your opinion you are lying.
"Your obsessions with Hillary and non-existent socialism blind you even rudimentary common sense."
Oh and not to mention that it sure could use a grammer check to make an understandable sentence even if it were not a lie.

The President is employed by and serves at the pleasure of the American people.
They choose whether to allow him to continue in his position or terminate his employment for unsatisfactory performance.
Did Trump resign? No.
Did he retire? No.
Did he die? No.
Did he want to continue in office? Yes.
Did his employer want him to continue in office? Clearly, no.
Sounds like being fired to me.

What it means Leftau is that I made an error in typing! It is received, got that?
And there is no help needed on understanding what firing is. Never been fired but have been on the end doing the firing a few times.
But I do know what a citizen does so far as an elective office, he/she either votes for or against a candidate and it has nothing to do with firing. In fact by our Constitution where the Presidency is concerned the voters do not elect the President nor can they fire him/her at will. The Electoral College elects a President based on the number of votes in a given State. Based on the State it may be all of their votes of part of them, based on the popular vote as I understand it. We do not vote directly for the President or we would have had Broom Hilda in 2016.
A President is elected, not hired, he/she may be impeached by the House and he/she may be terminated by the Senate. Nowhere have I seen where the word hire or fire enter into the picture. If that ignorant way of terming it is a part of your obsession with the man so be it. I will stick with the way our Constitution and laws term it. You register to vote, you do not register to fire or hire.
Is that clear to you now Leftau? You are welcome for the help in understanding where your education was lacking.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Dec 12, 2021, at 1:58 PM
Of course I'm fully knowledgeable of how our system works with regard to presidential politics.
If you do also, then you're fully aware of the the fact the he was twice impeached and found guilty by a bilateral majority of Senators. It was unfortunate for our nation that enough republican Senators caved to prevent him from being removed from office.
So since he hung in there, Americans finally "removed him from office."

Leftau he was impeached as punishement for beating Hillary Clinton and not bowing to the Democrats. And done so on trumped up charges and lies. Impeachment is merely indictment, and you can indict a ham sandwich. Saner heads prevailed and he was exonerated on all three charges.
The Crime during the Trump Presidency was the wasted time the Democrats used to go after him from day one and failing in every attempt to discredit him.

Leftau, your continued attacks on Trump do absolutely nothing to shore up the failures of the current failure in office, who is driving this country into ruination with inflation and incompetence in handling it. Democrats cannot get it through their heads that you cannot control inflation by printing more money to buy votes with.
If you want to define Trump supporters as a cult, then you would just as much so, have to define Trump detractors as a cult. Both are just as lavish in their praise or their hate for the man. I personally like to compare the qualifications of the two contendors when looking at a President. One being a successful businessperson the other being nothing but a politician with no remarkable accomplishments for better than 4 decades. Unless of course you want to include..... well SOB they fired him! An easy choice! Then you have the Clintons with a multitude of skeletons, who committed suicide with a bullet to the back of their heads, in their closet! Another easy choice
Trump is not President any longer.... get it?? Trump had his shortcomings, but he was head and shoulders over the current circus act when it comes to managing the economy and general wellbeing of our country.
And that has nothing to do with your favorite juvenile chant of the "cult" and your support of Socialists.

Also, why did the Democratic D.C. mayor turn down the request from Trump prior to 1/6 to stage National Guard troops in D.C. - sounds like a planned Republican setup job IMO.

“…driving this country into ruination with inflation…”
Inflation has been rising since November 2020, largely due to the reopening of the economy – which led to greater consumer demand, plus supply chain constraints. It’s not by government action or inaction. As for simply “printing money,” one would think you’d be aware of the fact that it doesn’t work that way. Had that been possible I’m fairly certain that President Trump would have printed up a few trillion dollars and put them in his pocket.
“…define Trump supporters as a cult…”
Of course that’s what they are, in particular ones that swallow his lies about a “stolen” election. He is nothing more that a dishonest demagogue. The most recent example is 1/6 when he called for his cult members to attack the capital to try to stop a Constitutional process in the count of EC votes. Had he ordered them to drink “kool-aide” because their insurrection was unsuccessful, they possibly would have done that.
Trying to define those opposed to him as a “cult” is another example of you trying to use false-equivalence as a means of “mudding the waters.” The definition of “cult” does not extend to those opposing the demagogic charlatan/shyster that is the “leader” of the Trump Cult.
“…compare the qualifications of the two contenders…”
You mean a “successful businessman” as in multiple bankruptcies, losing money while running a casino, destroying the lucrative Eastern Shuttle by mismanagement, or illegally altering the questionable value of assets to cheat. Other than a game show host and real estate agent there’s not much in the way of business acumen.
President Biden applied his extensive political experience to land the bi-partisan infrastructure legislation that Trump failed at for four years.
“…managing the economy and the general well-being of our country…”
Really, you mean the almost total collapse of our economy because of his personal incompetence in handling the Covid pandemic. After inheriting a growing economy he was never able to improve it.
His failure at managing the pandemic resulted in our country experiencing 20 to 25% of all cases and deaths with less than 5% of the worlds population

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Sat, Dec 18, 2021, at 5:13 PM
Leftau, all I did was point out your lies as you are a member of the Trump Hatred cult.
All I ever stated on what the DNC Talking Point is regarding what they like to call the Big Lie, is that if a person states what they truly believe it is not a lie. They may be mistaken but not lying. I think Trump's ego really moves him to believe what he says in that regard, if or not you like it does not matter one iota with me.
Further I am not the only person of that persuasion when it comes to a lie vs a belief. I checked the internet and here is what popped up
A question on what is a lie.
"Quora
If a person is lying but they believe they are telling the truth, is it still considered lying?
If a person is lying then they are lying.
If a person tells a falsehood when they know the truth, it’s a lie.
If a person tells a falsehood because they think it’s the true then I wouldn’t count that as lying.
None of us are completely accurate all or most of the time. I think we need to take into account the knowledge of the person, their abilities and the circumstances before we accuse them of some moral fault. And we should be weary of everything people tell us because they don’t always have the complete story or know the truth."
So Leftau, I am not the only person of that belief.
And none of your repetitious BS has caused me to alter my belief in that. Now who can most accurately sort out if or not it is a lie, is the person making the statement. My personal feeling is Trump's ego is such that he cannot believe he could have lost.
You may believe what you dam well want to because it doesn't amount to squat in my life anyway.
Now back to something that does matter. I have better things to do.
Oh, Lettau, once more you have failed to get me to commit to something you would like, just so you could start your fruitless digging at me some more.
Tooodle do Uly

Mr.VanGennip,
I had to burst out laughing right when you invented a "Trump hatred cult." The rest of the "gobbledygook" was equally humorous.
Do you actually believe that Trump is unaware that he lost fairly and honestly? Of course he knows that. His process is to simply lie to gullible cult members because they believe him and among other things, they send him money.
Recall that throughout 2020, Trump kept falsely claiming that the only way he could lose, would be by fraud.
How irrational is that? The purpose was to prepare his gullible supporters for the big lie.
The more denials you post, the more you look like a member of his target group. Nevertheless, I'd suggest that you actually recognize the big lie for the falsehood that it is, but were you to admit it, you'd have to accept all of his other failings.
Don't worry, I can easily refrain from troubling you with more facts, as I remember your aversion to the truth.

Well glad you got a laugh. You don't have a lot to laugh about with that embarrassment you Dims gave us for a President. Have you heard him, in his words, he is going to stop hurricanes? You should really be embarrassed with that bit of Democratic Wisdom.
So far as your Trump Hatred Cult, it is no more ridiculous than you calling someone who supports Trump a Cult member. You were as enamored with your love and devotion for Obama as any Trump supporter is. You might want to look in your own closet for skeletons before you start your name calling. But hey, we know, if the DNC puts out a talking point you are dedicated to falling in lock step.
"Do you actually believe that Trump is unaware that he lost fairly and honestly?"
Leftau, unlike you, I do not claim to be able to read another's mind. There is one person that truly knows the answer to that question. Do I need to tell you who it is?
"The more denials you post, the more you look like a member of his target group. Nevertheless, I'd suggest that you actually recognize the big lie for the falsehood that it is, but were you to admit it, you'd have to acce pt all of his other failings."

You're correct. The term is not used, but impeachment is and Trump was impeached twice and found guilty twice by bipartisan majorities of Senators. The numbers did not reach the total for removal, but the republicans voted for acquittal even while knowing he was guilty as charged.

Well, looks as if Leftau has confessed he was wrong in his choice of words. The numbers did not reach the total for removal, but the republicans voted for acquittal even while knowing he was guilty as charged.
Yes he was impeached twice on lies by people like Pelosi and Adam Schiff.
So far as what the Republican Senators knew or did not know, are you mind reading again?
The Democrats could not stand the fact that Trump defeated Hillary Clinton and started in on Trump even before he was inaugurated. Investigate, investigate and lie, lie, lie and impeach based on the lies. Had the Democrats spent their time doing what they were paid for what could have been done.

So Mr. VanGennip refuses to confirm or deny his Trump cult membership. However, he defends him as being a great or good "administrator," and claims it's OK if you "truly believe" a big lie.
Response: Leftau I am not required to confirm or deny anything to you, which really scalds your sones doesn't it? I find that hillareous.
The very idea of cult membership should be so abhorant that "sitting on the fence" is unlikely.
Response: First and foremost the cult idea is nothing more than a Democrat talking point. There is no cult membership with Trump any more or less than there is with you and your man love for the Democrat Party. In any case I have never sworn blind leadership to any political party or ideal. Period!
In Mr. VanGennip's case it seems that he " looks like" a cult member, "walks like" a cult member, and "talks like" a cult member, therefore it's likely he is a cult member.
Response: In Leftau's case his presumptions prove nothing other than an obsession to make me respond to his childish accusations. Which he is incapable of making me do.
And the easiest way to prove he's not a cult member, is to admit the big lie is exactly that.
Response: I have never been accused of doing things your way or the easy way as you would like to term it. And since there is no requirement of any kind for me to respond to your inquisition, I will give you this much as a response.... Go take a flying fuct at a rolling donut!
The corollary to this is simply that refusal to deny the big lie, strongly confirms belief in the big lie.
REsponse: Leftau since I recognize no corollary, my refusal to not commit is only to say in so many words, stuff it, as I see no need or obligation to satisfy you.
Further Leftau, you Democrats giving us this failure for a President, in what you surely cannot consider your very best candidate, shows what you think of America.
But hey, if he can and does stop hurricanes with a vaccine, I will admit I could be wrong.

Great Left leaning biased newspaper - how do you know that the photo was taken at the time of the speeches (no time stamp) and did they report the correct totals? Questions Questions to quell the bias news reporting! You need to read the following:
The Orlando Sentinel, the tour sold 5,406 at Orlando, Florida
The Orlando Sentinel, the tour sold 6,201 people at Sunrise, Florida
Not bad numbers! How many you think would pay $100 to see Biden - probably 25 and they would be from the press....that's what his 2020 campaign drew! LOL LOL

WOW, a bipartisan bill that added $2 trillion to the national debt for Pork projects - just shows the greed of the majority of the Congress folks to bring home the bacon. Now, how about that Biden Hyperinflation add on tax on all purchases - yet that's why Biden is at 38% approval and Harris is at 28% both Biden and Harris are non-winners (google friendly).

Not sure where you come up with these absurd conclusions. Trump lost the popular vote and barely won the EC vote in a couple of key states by a handful of votes. If it makes you happy, feel free to call it a "shellacking" but that's just one more example of your disregard of facts.
As I've pointed out numerous times, she lost and never started a insurrection over it. She would have done a much better job than Trump did, but that was along time ago and is irrelevant, even though you're still obsessing over it (for whatever strange reason.)

A question on what is a lie.
Quora
If a person is lying but they believe they are telling the truth, is it still considered lying?
If a person is lying then they are lying.
If a person tells a falsehood when they know the truth, it’s a lie.
If a person tells a falsehood because they think it’s the true then I wouldn’t count that as lying.
None of us are completely accurate all or most of the time. I think we need to take into account the knowledge of the person, their abilities and the circumstances before we accuse them of some moral fault. And we should be weary of everything people tell us because they don’t always have the complete story or know the truth.
Off Subject but more Lettau
"I had to burst out laughing right when you invented a "Trump hatred cult." The rest of the "gobbledygook" was equally humorous."
Well glad you got a laugh. You don't have a lot to laugh about with that embarrassment you Dims gave us for a President. Have you heard him, in his words, he is going to stop hurricanes? You should really be embarrassed with that bit of Democratic Wisdom.
So far as your Trump Hatred Cult, it is no more ridiculous than you calling someone who supports Trump a Cult member. You were as enamored with your love and devotion for Obama as any Trump supporter is. You might want to look in your own closet for skeletons before you start your name calling. But hey, we know, if the DNC puts out a talking point you are dedicated to falling in lock step.
"Do you actually believe that Trump is unaware that he lost fairly and honestly?"
Leftau, unlike you, I do not claim to be able to read another's mind. There is one person that truly knows the answer to that question. Do I need to tell you who it is?
"The more denials you post, the more you look like a member of his target group. Nevertheless, I'd suggest that you actually recognize the big lie for the falsehood that it is, but were you to admit it, you'd have to acce pt all of his other failings."
Leftau, where are the denials posted by me?
And as a piece of information for you, I know of nothing that I am required to do on your say so!
Would you like to show where, and who appointed you my Superior, where I am supposed to submit to your instructions.

Mr. VanGennip,
I'll go out on a limb and conclude that you naively and mindlessly give credence to Senator Cramer's 12 fables, that were carefully crafted to mislead.
Another question you've ignored. How is it that President Biden was able to get a bipartisan infrastructure program through Congress, when the same widely popular legislation eluded our former President?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Dec 26, 2021, at 11:21 AM
More misinformation. He was found guilty both times by a bipartisan number of Senators. The number of votes did not reach the removal threshold, but that does not mean "exoneration" as he was clearly guilty as charged both times.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Dec 26, 2021, at 11:27 AM
Here's an example of one of Senator Cramer's 12 fables....
One of them referred to payments in the $450,000 range to illegals, which the Senator tries to claim are arbitrary "payments" without cause.
In fact, the amount is a low estimate of what the US government may have to pay to settle class action lawsuits generated by Trump's "zero tolerance" policies that among other things are by parents whose children were "abducted," separated and kept by the Trump administration.
That pretty clearly makes it just one of hundreds of Trump blunders, yet the Senator tries to blame President Biden.

Leftau, all you tried to do is drag a herring across the trail. When do we get to see the pork loaded into the Infastructure bill? When do we get to find out the real cost, because everyone knows Biden was lying when he said there was no cost to it? How much will that add to our inflation tax?
Biden has done nothing, it is the committee directing him. Biden cannot put a coherent sentence together without help.

"Here's an example of one of Senator Cramer's 12 fables....
One of them referred to payments in the $450,000 range to illegals, which the Senator tries to claim are arbitrary "payments" without cause."
Leftau we all know the cause and that is the illegal entry into our country. Once that happens we have a right to take action. I have been into a good number of foreign countries, only which happened after I presented a valid passport and answered properly administered questions of me. I was not welcome to run in willy nilly and do as I **** well pleased. And I was required to show my passport once again to return to my own country.
Why do you support the idea of foreign immigrants just running into our country and then be supported off taxpayer funds?
I have stated before, I have a European background relative who worked years to finally win the Visa Lottery and get a Permanent Visa to live in this country. And that after being required to prove she was able to financially care for herself and to get a Social Security Card and pay taxes.
While those people trying to come in are trying to improve their lives, why do we have to treat them with kid gloves and reward them for their illegal actions. Why cannot they wait their turn like a European immigrant would.
And why does our Vice President not do the job she was assigned and work on bettering their lot where they come from. Ask her and she sounds like a hyena. You should be real proud as a Leftist Democrat (not) of the team you foisted off on us as leaders of the free world. What a disaster!

Just a reminder, Mr. VanGennip, Trump intentionally separated children from their parents, which is why the US Government is being sued. President Obama did nothing so "illegal" or immoral.
Per Wikipedia...
"The United States family separation policy under the Trump administration was presented to the public as a "zero tolerance" approach intended to deter illegal immigration and to encourage tougher legislation. It was officially adopted across the entire US–Mexico border from April 2018 until June 2018. Under the policy, federal authorities separated children and infants from parents or guardians with whom they had entered the US. The adults were prosecuted and held in federal jails or deported, and the children were placed under the supervision of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
A 2021 review done by the Biden administration found that more than 1,400 parents were ultimately deported without their children. In January 2020 the SPLC reported that the official government number of children separated from their parents or guardians under the policy was 4,368.

"If the virus is totally at the control of the President as you seem to think it is, where is your blame for Biden?"
The control the President has is based in being honest with Americans, particularly with respect to following medical science, not partisan political rants.
As for Trump, dishonesty is an ingrained trait. For example...
Jan 22 -- “We have it pretty much under control. It’s one person coming from China.”
..through..
Mar 10 -- “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
Mar 13 -- National Emergency Declaration.
----- ---- --- -- -
Now we’ve over 800,000 deaths and over 50 million cases. How many could have been avoided if Trump had acted responsibly and vaccination refusal did not become a political cause?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Dec 10, 2021, at 2:18 PM
That was Trump through 2020.
----- ---- --- -- -
"Biden claimed he would stop it."
Actually, he claimed that the vaccine would stop it. And throughout most of 2021, vaccines were available to all Americans. Everyone had access to free shots.
The fact that there were enough people that refused the shots (for no rational reason) allowed Covid to continue to spread and to mutate.
President Biden went as far as to push vaccine mandates to stop the pandemic, which was a legal and necessary public health approach. Republicans, for some inexplicable explanation seemed to see this as a threat to their power, and placed their needs above that of all Americans.
Biden succeeded in "stopping" the pandemic for vaccinated people. The disease is now a pandemic of the "un-vaccinated" and could continue until most come to their senses or are "attrited."
Even now the disease and death rates appear to be 3 to 6 times higher in "red" states than in "blue" states. Trump himself has now pushed vaccination and booster shots.
----- ---- --- -- -
So yes, Trump should accept the blame for his lies, actions and failures. President Biden's action on the other hand, was to be honest with America and explain how vaccination will stop the pandemic. Those refusing vaccines have only themselves to blame.

You forget Biden is NOT God Almighty nor is his office given the authority to order Americans around. BIDEN IS NOT King, Biden is NOT Totalirarian Ruler. Biden is merely the President with limited powers as directed by our Constitution.
Same is true for Trump and the other 40 some who came before them.
I don't pretend to know what is in people's minds who are dedicated to not being vaccinated.
There is no one who hates shots worse than I do, but I have had mine including the Booster.
But I am not pretentious enough to believe anyone has the authority to make demands on those opposed to the shots.

Rick S.,
"Regarding those illegal vaccine Mandates..."
I checked again in the Constitution, and it still says "promote the general welfare" but nowhere did I find a clause prohibiting the government for taking necessary public health measure when faced with a worldwide pandemic.
In particular, the current "mandate" gives at least 4 legal alternatives to workers. They can resign, or work from home when possible, or participate in a simple testing regime, or they take a free, safe vaccine.
Promoting and assuring public health does not violate the Constitution. It would be a slightly different issue if vaccine refusal only affected the individual himself. In this case the refusal contributes to further spread and of the pandemic and allows for more viral mutations.
A related concern is just why are the republicans so anxious for the pandemic to continue?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Dec 27, 2021, at 8:23 PM
Mr. VanGennip,
You still seem to be overly confused with reference to the handling of the pandemic by Presidents Trump and Biden.
During the critical first stage of the pandemic in spring of 2020, Trump ignored the severity of the threat, continually lied about how the disease would “just go away,” and ridiculed the need for masks and other mediation methods. What he should have been doing was insisting on widespread masking, social distancing, contact tracing and intensive testing. As a result of his incompetence, America experienced from 20 to 25% of the world’s cases and deaths while only representing about 4.5% of the world’s population. And this happened while we had the best medical facilities and science in the world. Instead of leading in the fight against Covid 19 Trump “surrendered,” which is why he should have resigned and was eventually “fired.”
President Biden has no reason to "resign" as he did everything in his power to get as many Americans vaccinated as quickly as possible. The problem now is that we're faced with a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Dec 27, 2021, at 8:33 PM

What a crock of BS. Your many times repeated lies do not make it true. We have had so many conflicting directions on what to do by Fauci that nobody is clear on it.
In Trump's defense, nobody knew what was really coming. Biden has had advance notice and made the BS statement that he would stop it but he has not. And the vaccine is not 100% either. People having had the shots are getting it still. Biden made the statement if a President had that many deaths that they should resign. He has had more, so why isn't he resigning. Biden has not stopped the disease with the vaccinated, Get it. And Biden set no conditions on his statement that he would stop it, but he has not, even in the vaccinated which was a program happening before he came to office by the way. Even with the going on two years' experience we have had; Biden has not stopped it. By his own standards set down for Trump, Biden should resign. Actually, with his incompetent behavior he should resign as a matter of inability to do his job.
And plain and simple and in the face of your denials. Biden's mandates are illegal in a free society like ours. He does not have the authority to make those kinds of demands on a free society. We are a country of laws not one man commands.

Satisfied? BTW-never had any sort of seasonal flu shot in my life. Never had the flu either. Had a couple of bad winter colds but tested negative for flu.
If this is question and answer day,who’s side are you on,Manchin or Biden? You seem to have skipped over the current events to reminisce about Trump.

Leftau, it will be a cold day in hell before I need any of your misguided learning or help.
I already have a reasonable knowledge of our Constitution and how our Country works and doubt that anyone who thinks just because a President is a Democrat he is entitled to Totalitarian Rule, could teach anyone.
You might want to dwell on how much trouble this mentally deficient President has placed our country in with his "phone and his pen". Starting with the Southern Border and now trying to place himself in the position of absolute Ruler with his mandates.
Think about this Leftau... are you a Democrat first or an American first?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Dec 28, 2021, at 8:18 AM
Mr. Braswell,
I believe that Manchin is doing the right thing in holding up the entire package, but President Biden is right in pushing for selected issues, such as the 2 years of preschool.
They could have worked out a mutually acceptable "phase 1" of the plan.

BS Spreader Lettau: While you are on that DNC website look up how to defend Turnip Brain Biden's failed Domestic and Foreign policies....such as Biden's Hyperinflation of 6.8% and per the Fed its going up and will be around for most of 2022,
Shut down the new construction of the Keystone pipeline while approving the new construction of the Russian/Europe pipeline....America Last Russia First!
Open borders that are letting unvaccinated covid Illegals & terrorists into the USA,
Pork spending by the trillions just to buy votes from the freeloaders,
A disastrous Afghan withdrawal that still has over 500 American citizens in a terrorist country (wonder how they spent Christmas),
More covid deaths under Biden with 2 vaccines available than Trump with only 2 vaccines on 12/15/20 - Turnip Brain Biden resign like you told Trump,
Illegal vaccine mandates that as of yesterday Biden gave up and kicked the can to the States (trying to keep that approval rating from going down even further),
Our enemies China and Russia have no fear from the USA - not with our weak president and his woke military leaders who are more concerned with CRT than the defense of the USA - yep kick those good troops out for refusing the vaccines - good grief I can hear the Russians and Chinese laughing at Turnip Brain Biden.
Putin and Xi are probably chanting - Let's Go Brandon! LOL.
So Lettau when you get a few hours explain your failed leaders' policies to me and others who want your unwise responses!!

There's no such thing as "nationwide" mandating, although we're it the case, we'd be back to normal now.
Had we followed President Biden's lead for full vaccination back last spring and reached 80 to 90% vaccinated, we'd be out of the "covid-19 woods" or at least at t he edge.
Instead, it appears the so-called republican/conservatives decided to put their party first and America last.

Mr. VanGennip,
Here’s the final lesson in today’s effort to “draw you a picture.”
Mr. Azimov pointed out the existence of a cult of ignorance nurtured by a “strain of anti-intellectualism.” The source is invariable instances were individuals or groups ignore, or are blissfully unaware of the truth and/or facts.
Here are a couple of examples and you should be able to figure out where you fit…
----- ---- --- -- -
The 2020 Presidential elections were fair and honest, as attested to and verified by local, state and federal election officials and judges. Trump himself admitted he lost. A large number of his administration officials and republican leaders (Barr, McConnell, Cheney, Romney, etc) openly say he lost and Biden won fairly. An even greater number of republicans know that’s true but are afraid to say so out loud. About 75% of the US population and the rest of the world know Biden won.
Yet there are people in the US that refuse to accept this fact, and try to make excuses for Trump’s big lie. (as in “if he truly believes it.”) These are people that Azimov lumps into the cult that believes their “…ignorance is just as good as your (i.e. the rest of the nation) knowledge.”
----- ---- --- -- -
An example provided yesterday…
During the critical first stage of the pandemic in spring of 2020, Trump ignored the severity of the threat, continually lied about how the disease would “just go away,” and ridiculed the need for masks and other mediation methods. What he should have been doing was insisting on widespread masking, social distancing, contact tracing and intensive testing. As a result of his incompetence, America experienced from 20 to 25% of the world’s cases and deaths while only representing about 4.5% of the world’s population. And this happened while we had the best medical facilities and science in the world. Instead of leading in the fight against Covid 19 Trump “surrendered,” which is why he should have resigned and was eventually “fired.”
President Biden has no reason to "resign" as he did everything in his power to get as many Americans vaccinated as quickly as possible. The problem now is that we're faced with a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
The bottom line is very simple, Trump’s lack of action had a negative impact on the health and safety of Americans, whereas Biden’s actions had a positive impact.
Yet there are people in the US that refuse to accept this fact and ignore it, or try to falsely equate the actions of both presidents. These are also part of the cult that Azimov defined.
----- ---- --- -- -
Perhaps this is clear enough for you...

Leftau I have read your little litany of Democratic talking points a good number of times now but that doesn't make them any more true than the first time you repeated them.
And this, that you keep repeating "(as in “if he truly believes it.”)
Leftau, I only stated what I and the rest of people with learning understand. You however, have a skull too thick to penetrate.
I stated my reasoning , you can accept it or remain short on your learning, I could care less. Knowing Trump's ego, I can easily believe he thought it was impossible for him to lose. I showed you where others believe as I do when it comes to labeling a lie
You of all people should understand with the amount of lies you spread.
Leftau I will tell you once, there is nothing you have to teach me. A lot smarter men than you have tried selling me a line of BS that I was wise enough not to buy into. So don't delude yourself into thinking that you are smart enough to sell your BS to me . If I need someone to help me it will be someone with more than a Certicate of Completion.

Mr. VanGennip,
It’s always rather enlightening to take notice of your struggles in any response. One sure sign of this is when you invariably close with “little man,” which seems to be your signature, "cute" manner of trying to assert your “superiority.” It's never worked.
Your “reasoning” concerning Trump’s big lie is irrelevant to me. How you decide to rationalize anything is totally your business. The point remains that President Biden won fairly and honestly and the vast majority of the Americans know that.
There is also a group that refuses to accept this and is content to ignore the truth and the facts. Azimov would likely define this “group” as a “cult of ignorance” and he is correct.
Whether or not you see yourself as a part of this group is your call. It doesn’t bother me one way or the other.

It's not that complicated...
Only about half of republicans (the -MAGA cult) believes the Trump won.
The country is about a third republican, a third democratic and a third independent.
Therefore only less than 20% of Americans cling to the concept of a non-existent Trump victory.
There's close to zero evidence that anyone in the rest of the world believes Trump won.
That makes the 75% number a safe bet.

One VanGennip fabrication…
“Trump made us energy independent and Biden reversed it.”
Not true.
“The Energy Information Administration (EIA) tabulated U.S. energy consumption in 2019 and 2020, and determined that for both full years, counting all energy sources, we were energy independent. Even though U.S. energy production declined by 5% in 2020, energy consumption also declined by 3% as the pandemic impacted the economy. So, our energy independence was shrinking as the pandemic unfolded.
As I noted above, the EIA wrote:
“Annual crude oil production generally decreased between 1970 and 2008. In 2009, the trend reversed and production began to rise, and in 2019, U.S. crude oil production reached a record high of 12.25 million barrels per day. More cost-effective drilling and production technologies helped to drive the production increases, especially in Texas and North Dakota. U.S. crude oil production declined to about 11.31 million barrels per day in 2020. A large drop in U.S. petroleum demand in March and April 2020 as a result of the response to the Covid-19 pandemic led to a decrease in U.S. oil production.”
So, in 2009 we began the march to energy independence. Those wishing to credit President Trump for this need to take another look at that net imports graphic to grasp the full picture.
But we don’t actually know if, once the full year of 2021 has been accounted for, we lost our energy independence for the year. If it turns out that we did, the single largest factor in that will be that oil and natural gas production have yet to return back to pre-Covid-19 levels. But demand has recovered, and therein lies the reason.
Is The U.S. Energy Independent? (forbes.com)
----- ---- --- -- -
One more VanGennip fabrication…
“Trump s we cured the Southern Border. Biden reversed it.”
Also not true. Nothing was “cured.”
Trump’s lack of success on crucial promises were not for a lack of trying.
Promise to cancel all funding of sanctuary cities? Broken.
Trump’s attempt was limited to Justice Department funds, and even those efforts were foiled by courts, which largely sided with cities, counties and states that sued the administration. The lawsuits argued that a Trump executive order and conditions for a Justice Department grant violated principles on separation of powers and a doctrine that says states can't be forced to carry out federal duties.
Promise to triple ICE enforcement? Broken.
Trump wanted funds to increase the number of deportation agents, but he did not get much from Congress. His administration also faced challenges in recruiting and hiring. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official in 2018 reported not having a sufficient pool of candidates to fill existing vacancies, much less the 10,000 positions Trump requested in an executive order.
Promise to build a border wall and make Mexico pay for it? Broken.
Mexico didn’t pay at all. Using U.S. taxpayers’ money, Trump has replaced about 200 miles of dilapidated barriers with upgraded fences. Before Trump was president, the nearly 2,000-mile southwest border had 654 miles of primary barriers. As of June, Trump had increased that by 3 miles, to 657.
PolitiFact | Donald Trump’s immigration promises: failures and achievements
Furthermore:
At the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump and his supporters have given the impression that Trump administration policy, while tough on illegal immigration, has been welcoming to legal immigrants, people trying to become American citizens and refugees fleeing government persecution. Below is a review of Trump administration policies on legal immigration from 2017 to the present.
Legal Immigration Cut in Half, Most Categories Blocked: By 2021, Donald Trump will have reduced legal immigration by 49% since becoming president – without any change in U.S. immigration law, according to a National Foundation for American Policy analysis. An April presidential proclamation blocked the entry of legal immigrants to the United States in almost all categories.
Reducing legal immigration most harms refugees, employers and Americans who want to live with their spouses, parents or children, but it also affects the country’s future labor force and economic growth: “Average annual labor force growth, a key component of the nation’s economic growth, will be approximately 59% lower as a result of the administration’s immigration policies, if the policies continue,” according to the National Foundation for American Policy.

And Leftau if you are not smart enough to recognize it, I have not praised Trump, I have merely compared him to the incompetent choices offered by you Democrats. Give us a choice between Trump and morally Bankrupt Hillary Clinton and Trump and brain fried Biden and what are our choices? We need someone who's ability is there. Given the three I named they all lie.
Being an American with a brain. You choose the lessor of the evil. Being something else you choose the party over country.

BS Spreader Lettau: While you are on that DNC website look up how to defend Turnip Brain Biden's failed Domestic and Foreign policies....such as Biden's Hyperinflation of 6.8% and per the Fed its going up and will be around for most of 2022,
Shut down the new construction of the Keystone pipeline while approving the new construction of the Russian/Europe pipeline....America Last Russia First!
Open borders that are letting unvaccinated covid Illegals & terrorists into the USA,
Pork spending by the trillions just to buy votes from the freeloaders,
A disastrous Afghan withdrawal that still has over 500 American citizens in a terrorist country (wonder how they spent Christmas),
More covid deaths under Biden with 2 vaccines available than Trump with only 2 vaccines on 12/15/20 - Turnip Brain Biden resign like you told Trump,
Illegal vaccine mandates that as of yesterday Biden gave up and kicked the can to the States (trying to keep that approval rating from going down even further),
Our enemies China and Russia have no fear from the USA - not with our weak president and his woke military leaders who are more concerned with CRT than the defense of the USA - yep kick those good troops out for refusing the vaccines - good grief I can hear the Russians and Chinese laughing at Turnip Brain Biden.
Putin and Xi are probably chanting - Let's Go Brandon! LOL.

Mr. VanGennip,
There’s nothing from you worth responding to.
I’m sure your family is bursting with pride when you show them how you’re crudely insulting the President with childish rants.
If you’re enamored with profanity, you’re welcome to it. And if that’s what excites you, keep it up.

Just a reminder from last May, of what the problem is....
(CNN)Former President Donald Trump has spent months spreading lies about the 2020 election, which he himself is now calling "THE BIG LIE" as he continues to claim that a massive conspiracy robbed him of a second term.
The result is that many Republicans now question the election results -- and the lie has taken on a life of its own.
In Washington, congressional Republicans who recently ousted Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney from the party's leadership over her decision to call Trump out for his lies mostly united Wednesday against a review of the January 6 Capitol insurrection those lies helped incite.
Trump's allies in Arizona are undertaking a sketchy, circus-like review of 2020 ballots in Maricopa County, even though local officials -- themselves Republicans -- are openly objecting to the process, which comes months after the state's election was certified by its Republican governor. (Trump allies are now pushing for a similar review in Georgia, where Republican officials also certified President Joe Biden's victory.)
In key states around the country, more restrictive election laws are being enacted, ostensibly to guard against fraud that did not happen.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Dec 29, 2021, at 8:54 PM
Then there's this, courtesy of our former President....
"Anybody that doesn’t think there wasn’t massive Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election is either very stoop:d, or very corrupt!"

More ramifications of the big lie...
Column: Do Trump's Jan. 6 sins of omission and commission make him criminally liable?
Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democratic chair of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, has made it clear that the panel is focused intently on former President Trump’s three-plus hours of scandalous silence as the insurrection raged.
Commentators have suggested that as odious as Trump’s silence may have been, it does little to ground a criminal case because criminal law punishes people for action rather than inaction.
But that principle has important exceptions that apply precisely to Jan. 6 and Trump. Beyond that, as more evidence is revealed, it’s increasingly obvious that the former president did act — by encouraging the disruption of the election certification. All in all, a criminal referral to the Department of Justice is a real possibility (whether Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland pursues it is another matter).
Here’s how the action-inaction distinction operates: Criminal liability generally requires the combination of intent and action, which is why omitting to act typically doesn’t land you in jail. But when a defendant has a legal duty to act and does not, the principle gives ground.

How is that Trump failed to get a bipartisan infrastructure program passed through Congress and Biden got it done in less than a year.
Trump gave himself a multi-million dollar tax break. He allowed Iran to get closer to a bomb. He surrendered unilaterally to the Taliban. He made Kim Jong Un famous in the third world. Under his administration we had 20 to 25% of Covid-19 cases and deaths leading the world.
Is there any thing he did right? You have to admit he set a very low bar.

"How is that Trump failed to get a bipartisan infrastructure program passed through Congress and Biden got it done in less than a year."
Leftau, you have brought this up numerous times as if it were the lifeblood of this country. I do not remember hearing all of the fuss about it during Trump's term in office. Is it that he did not consider it to be of prime importance to pass a debt increasing, pork laden, vote buying bill.
The man cannot put a sentence together and has done more harm than good. The biggest mistake Biden made was to cancel Trump's arrangements that were keeping the illegals out of the country via the Southern Border. The Democrats could not stand that Trump success so they turned it into a Biden failure. I can do without the pork and vote buying Biden has done, just don't bring any more illegals here to support. Not 15 minutes ago I heard about more flights loaded with illegals being dropped off for us to support. And landing them at night, what is the purpose of the secrecy. Then there was the stying to shut down oil in this court to make us more dependent. Biden's mistakes continue to add up.
And you surely remember that Trump was trying to get our country's economy back on track after Obama's failure in that department, where we had the slowest recovery from a recession since the Great Depression.
So no Leftau, you have nothing to toot your horn about when it comes to Biden's screwups over the past nearly 12 months. And he has not stopped the virus as promised, even though he was handed a couple of vaccines to work with.
Rail on Leftau, but Biden was a mistake.Clear, plain and simple. The man is sick, get him out of there. He is an embarrassment in front of the world.

There's no question that he's been bad for America, but as I've said numerous times, it's not an issue of hatred on my part. You can save your "concern."

Just out of curiosity Mr Lettau could you go find where you were offended by the real obscenities hurled at Trump.
Say,Deniro,Rosie O’Donnell and maybe Kathy Griffin for just a few examples. I’m sure they are there I just don’t have time to look them up. If I missed some I’m sure you remember. Oh,and Madonna. I’m sure she really riled you up. Thanks.

Kapeesh?
And to quote our Presidenr Joe Biden
"Let's go Brandon!"

Perhaps instead of throwing slurs you would like to explain to me, why you consider the above to be unacceptable for me and perfectly appropriate for Joe Biden. Name the exemption he gets that is not acceptable for the rest of us.

Mr. Braswell,
I'd condemn obscenities hurled at Trump also.
I don't know exactly what any of those individuals said, but see no reason for any similar profanities. There are more than enough legitimate Trump blunders that can be accurately described without profanities.

No Leftau, as usual, she got it wrong again.
First, I am not hurling insults at the President. I am doing him the honor of quoting him. Are you trying to deny he said either of those two quotes? If so you are provable wrong. It is etched into his history as Vice President and President. I have no problem with anyone knowing it. I don't go out of my way to hide anything from anybody Leftau.
It's going to take more than you to stop me from quoting this President Leftau.
You never responded on why it is ok for him ro say it but wrong for me to repeat it.

Trying to relax and watch a little TV. I was correct the first time.
Now another matter Leftau. You have spouted off a number of times about Trump failing to pass something while Biden succeeded. Then you take on the entire Republican Party with something childish like this.... "Remember how republicans and decency represent a contradiction in terms."
Leftau did it occurr to you the Republicans had to help Biden to pass anything. Whereas the Democrats in their hatred for Trump, because he beat Hillary Clinton, fought him at every turn for four long years.
And America suffered.
Now, if you want to ponder decency, look at the whole picture.
You might also like to look at yourself and think about decency for a change.
So far as what you are going to see again momentarily, bear this in mind. I am an American, equal to any other. And if it is indecent to quote our President. Then he was indecent. Deny that Lefty!
To quote Joe Biden, President of the United States of America....
"Let's go Brandon!"
and
"Well SOB they fired him!"
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Jan 1, 2022, at 4:30 PM
In the past the republican party did to a reasonable degree, stand for decency.
That's clearly no longer the case. Their descent possible began with losing to Obama, but was most obvious with their "love affair" with Trump.
Now, for probably the first time in recent political history, they've translated an innocuous phrase into a profanity to enable its public use.
If that's something you're proud of, that's your privilege.

For once Trump does the right thing, and loses support
Who are those cultist?
"Devoted far-right followers of former President Donald Trump are finally turning on him — and all it took was a series of enthusiastic public statements endorsing COVID-19 vaccines.
It started on Sunday when Trump revealed during a rally with longtime conservative pundit Bill O'Reilly that he had received a booster shot, a fact that attendees greeted with boos.
"Don't, don't, don't," Trump responded after hearing the boos. "That's alright, it's a very tiny group up there," he added, pointing to a section of the crowd.
He doubled down on his endorsement of vaccines Wednesday during an interview with online commentator Candace Owens, saying definitively, "the vaccine worked."

“…are you also condemning Biden for using those exact same words…”
Think about it for a minute, Mr. VanGennip, does your question strike you as more than a bit absurd and preposterous.
Joe Biden has always been considerate, gracious and empathetic. His reaction to this odd, ambiguous comment is fairly predictable.
Consider that this was a child’s Christmas phone call which was live streamed nation wide, and the subject was Santa “tracking” by NORAD. What type of perverted (Schmeck or)"schmuck” would end their children's call with profanity. Calling himself a “free thinking American and a follower of Jesus Christ.” Does he really believe that’s what Jesus would say
It’s not clear whether President Biden was aware of what the “Schnuck’s” comment meant (or if he cared), but it had been immediately preceded by the First Lady saying, “Well have a Merry Christmas. Have a wonderful Christmas.”
Then the “pervert” who was surrounded by his 11 year old son, and two younger daughters, said, “Merry Christmas and Let’s Go Brandon!” (Note that it has not been revealed when the “Schmuck” explained to his children exactly what his words meant.)
When the President responded, “Let’s Go Brandon, I agree” it was purely because of his supportive nature and instinctive inclination to be agreeable. In my opinion it is no different than if someone were to have ended saying “Go Cards!” and he repeated “Go Cards” even if he were a lifelong Cubs fan.
The idea that someone can be that indecent, in that (or any) situation is itself appallingly alarming.
What’s even more incredible is that some want to claim that this profanity is acceptable now that President Biden unknowingly and innocently repeated the same phrase.
But then again, the republican/Trumpist/conservative penchant for indecency is hard to tamp down. Simple truth and honesty may not immediately prevail, but will eventually.

So Leftau, while you cannot defend Biden"s stating "Let's go Brandon", you would prejudge anybody who dared respond to you as an "unglued Trumpist". I find that typical of you as a Democrat Lacky.
However even though I am not an "unglued Trumpist" or even a Trumpist of any description, I have no concern in calling your response what it is, a defense of the indefensible.

Could you stay on topic, Leftau. Changing the subject is what is called dragging a herring across the trail.
So far as the Jan 6th debacle I have never approved of it, as I have said before. Mob action as in Jan 6th, BLM and/or Antifa will never get my approval. So far as condemnation, I would have to have complete information on any of them to say I condemned them... realisticly condemnation does not fall in the normal layman's jurisdiction, Evan though some take it upon themselves to presume they have it.

The legal BLM demonstrations were not "mob actions."
When peaceful demonstrations were subverted by criminals engaged in looting, burning or destruction of property, those lawbreakers became a "mob" and those participants should fully prosecuted. Why would anyone question that?
As bad as those criminals were, they never intended to overturn a legal election, attack the US Capital, ransack Congressional facilities and offices, and call for hanging our Vice-President.

Leftau, there was illegal action (mob action) at BLM marches and rallies as well as with Antifa to the extent they occupied a city and raided a Federal Building if I remember correctly.
In any case the actions of a relative few as numbers go does not indict an entire group as you have done concerning the January 6th break in by a number of people and you continuing babbling about a group and decency.
Further, this alone would finger you as a Democratic Lackey... "Seems that only republicans exhibit that lack of decency." If you can take an individual act and indict a group or an entire organization, then it would be just as fair for me to say that the Democratic Party promotes illegal voting because over 50 years ago a Democrat acquaintance tried to get me to vote in a Bollinger County election well after I had moved from the area and he was aware of it. Happened on the sidewalk in what was Lutesvile at the time. Two can play your childish game Leftau.

What do you consider a "relative few?" As of now about 727 individuals have been implicated by name.
Furthermore, on January 6th last year, the Capital was closed to visitors, temporary crowd control barriers were is place, and the Capital Police prohibited entry.
Therefore every person that broke through those lines was guilty of criminal trespass, and the high estimates of numbers range from 5 to 8 thousand.
How do you justify even one person assaulting our Capital screaming "hang Mike Pence?"

Looks like the original Brandon can’t catch a break. The poor guy was enjoying his first NASCAR win with the now famous post race interview by Kelli Stavast when the crowd started the chant that everyone including an obviously embarrassed Brandon Brown. By everyone I include Ms Stavast who inadvertently threw Brown under the bus and to the wolves. Brown tried to downplay the whole thing with comments like “for you Brandon’s out there ‘Let’s go us’ to no avail. He started losing sponsors which to a NASCAR team is 75-80% of their overhead just to put a car on the track. He finally has a sponsor,or so he thought,when LGBcoin agreed to do it. Or so he thought. Seems NASCAR originally okay’s the deal but has backed out wanting more time for the “higher ups” to study it. Apparently that “LGB” may be too political and NASCAR doesn’t want to get into political sponsorships. That wasn’t a problem after Bubba Wallace didn’t know what a garage door pull was and after 45 FBI investigators decided he didn’t either NASCAR let BLM be put on the Wallace car.

A thought for what it is worth. Americans have the right of peaceful Assembly. Had they not tried to shut our Capitol down prior to people from all over the country, is it possible it would have remained peaceful.
America was founded on an insurrection, anyone ever heard of the Boston Tea Party?
I think it is fairly obvious, if it was a gathering of Democrats the Big Mouth from Scopus would be strangely silent.
I didn't agree with it and I wasn't there, but it is time to let lawbreakers be given their day in court and move on. If we let it fester and continue to divide, what have we to gain?

“…500 plus Americans still stranded in Afghanistan…”
Remember that Mr. Schaefer has a highly fleeting to non-existent relationship with the facts and the truth. He’s been repeating the same fantasy since August.
----- ---- --- -- -
Actually….
“WASHINGTON, Dec 13 (Reuters) - The United States has helped over 900 American citizens and lawful permanent residents to leave Afghanistan and relocate to the United States since Aug. 31, after the chaotic end to the American war there, the U.S. State Department said on Monday.
“The United States has directly assisted 479 American citizens and 450 lawful permanent residents, in addition to their immediate families, depart Afghanistan and relocate to the United States since the end of August, the State Department said in a statement.
“The agency is in touch with fewer than a dozen U.S. citizens who want to leave the country, are prepared to depart and have the necessary travel documents, according to the statement.
"There is no deadline for this work," the department said.”

Leftau, I have voted for Democrats and Republicans as I see hit. I have gone so far as co-sponsor a fund raiser for a Democratic Governor candidate because I believed in him. Unfortunately he didn't make it. I have supported with yard signs a local Democrat because I personally knew him and his Conservative views.
And on the other hand I have voted against candidates unfit for the office they sought. Precisely that would be Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and I would do it again. I have never been all things Trump as I stated before, but he was the only candidate with a snow ball in hell's chance of beating the opposition. Won one and lost one in the process.
All said and done, I am a Conservative, proud of it and will remain so.
And further, I can support any candidate who truly opposes Socialism/Communism which is being pushed by The Leftist Democrats in this country.
Leftau, you can try to hang your inventrd tags on me such as Trumpist but they won't stick because they don't fit.

Leftau, I know you're a little slow, but when the Democrats put up the best they have and it is a candidate like Hillary Clinton aka Broom Hilda, and Joe Biden a Swamp Dweller as the only job he ever had and became a millionaire doing it. Not to mention his mental condition where he cannot distinguish the distance between his wife and his sister in public... tou tell me what a think man would logically do.

BS Spreader Lettau: The problem of the USA is the old senile demented Biden that is trying to turn the USA into a third world country and after one year in office he is getting close to doing just that. 7% inflation rate with a wholesale rate of 9% that will make the coming months only to go UP from that 7% amount. Also, with only a 33% approval rate and dropping like a rock Turnip Brain Biden's little sheep followers are running away from him and VP Harris. Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams had better things to do (lol) while Biden and Harris were in Atlanta this week - good grief when big mouth Stacey stays away you know that you are in trouble but senile Biden doesn't have enough gray matter left to realize this. Where is impeachment happy Pelosi and Schumer at now - the SCOTUS ruled against Biden's illegal vaccine mandates....thought going against the Constitution was grounds for Impeachment?

Your problem Lettau isn't me or any republican. Your problem is you voted for a serial lyar who hasn't accomplished a single significant thing in his 47 years before becoming president. He was a joke in Congress and is an even bigger joke today as a weak, demented president. Even democrats and the biased media are now hammering his disastrous first year - worst in US history.

Mr. VanGennip,
“…facts are that America did quite well during Trump’s term.”
Seriously? Recall that during his tenure, we suffered about 20 to 25% of the worlds Covid 19 cases and deaths with a little more than 4.5% of the world’s population. Had he been able to competently manage the pandemic this would not have been the case. He totally ignored essential mitigation efforts including masking, social distancing, contact tracing and testing, and failed just by telling the country “it will just go away.” About 200,000 to 300,000 lives might have been spared had he done his job.
Then he inherited a growing economy (clearly not “a mess”) and did not improve it. In fact it fell to about a negative 5%. Consider all the jobs lost by his incompetence. This is how bad it was….
“However, the Obama administration added more jobs to the economy, comparing similar time-frames.
Under Trump, in the three years prior to the pandemic, there were an additional 6.4 million jobs. In the last three years under Obama, seven million jobs were added.
As in many parts of the world, coronavirus lockdown measures very quickly led to soaring levels of unemployment in the US.
The rate jumped to 14.7% in April, the highest level since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
The US Labor Department says more than 20 million people lost their jobs, eliminating a decade of employment gains in a single month.
Since the peak in April, unemployment has fallen back significantly to 7.9% in September.”

To fill you in on what you missed over the past 12 months….
Even before his inauguration, President Biden worked tirelessly on plans for the distribution of the Covid 19 vaccines, to assure the were quickly and equitable being delivered nationwide. No one else was stepping up to this task.
Next he obtained Congressional approval on an American Rescue Plan to facilitate the US’s recovery from the devastating economic health and economic effects of the pandemic.
Got the US Innovation and Competition Act of 2021 passed as bipartisan legislation for basic and advanced technology research, aimed among other goals to counter China ascendancy world wide.
He resumed the climate change “battle” by rejoining the Paris accords, which lent immediate support to US industries which had not stopped their actions.
Obtained approval of 40 judicial nominees.
Took steps to reunite migrant families.
Completed US withdrawal from Afghanistan. In spite of the chaotic first days about 120,000 Americans and Afghani allies were successfully evacuated.
Jobs were brought back and unemployment dropped and wages increased.
The Infrastructure Bill was passed with bipartisan support from Congress.
…and those are just the major accomplishments…
You’re welcome.

Further, the recovery your wonder boy presided over was the slowest since the great depression. You seem to have poor retention, so I expect you will have to be re-educated in the future.

Leftau, what you call mismanagement was a crisis worldwide not experienced here in over a hundred years. Joe Biden was going to stop it he promised if elected.... what happened? Let me tell you, he did not! Is that Trump's fault as well?
Joe Biden said a President with as many deaths as occurred up to and including campaign time, should resign. More have occurred since making this statement either a lie, or he should resign. Of course you will make that Trump's fault as well.
You blow and blow about Biden's distributing the vaccines. I would remind you that those Vaccines were brought to market before Biden in record time because of Trump's program and they were being distributed before Biden took office and had any authority over their distribution. As a matter of fact I believe you will remember BIDEN received the shot prior to becoming President. He should be saying, Thank you, Mr. TRUMP.

Mr. VanGennip,
“…a crisis worldwide not experienced in over a hundred years.”
Exactly, but the mismanagement comes into play when, in 2020, the USA experiences 20 to 25% of the worlds cases and deaths with just over 4.2% of the world’s population. With one of the world’s best medical and science communities, based on population, we should have had only about 100,000 deaths in 2020 rather than almost 400,000. That was due to our President’s failure to implement nationwide mitigation methods.
As for vaccines, Corona Virus vaccines were being researched, developed and produced since the 2000’s by the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. The most significant contribution by the Trump administration was staying out of the way,
In 2021, with vaccines available, there was promise of a major reduction in cases and fatalities. The Biden administration made vaccines available for free to all Americans. Sadly, in 2021 the disease became a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” and about 90% of all deaths and hospitalizations struck those who refused the vaccine. This was during a period when President Biden urged all Americans to mask up and get vaccinated, even trying to set “mandates” for people’s own good.
What else happened is that red state governors went as far as to work against the health and safety of their own populations. More ironic is that the former President finally got on the vaccination “bandwagon” as someone showed him that large numbers of Covid victims were old white people in republican states, i.e. his “base.”
You need to pay more attention to facts.

BS Spreader Lettau: For starters in Dec. 2021 the Inflation rate was 6.8% and now it's 7% and rising. Open southern border that has allowed thousands and thousands covid infected Illegals into the USA not to mention possible terrorists. Failed Afghan withdrawal which led to hundreds of stranded American citizens of which some are still there plus $93 billion of first class military equipment left behind for the terrorists to use or sale. Illegal vaccine mandates which the SCOTUS declared unconstitutional. More covid cases and deaths in 2021 than in 2020....didn't Turnip Brain Biden say any President with over 200,000 deaths should resign - still waiting for Turnip to do so. Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are laughing at the USA for having such a weak Senile Demented President as Biden is. And all of that plus some more that I probably left out in only one year.

Leftau, you have repeated that any number of times. How about you give us the statistics for 2021 where there were more than 400,000 under Biden.
So far as Trump staying out of the way, he also caused the government beauocracy to get out of the way.
Now if we could get Biden the hell out of the way we could get somewhere. Everything you claim for him regarding covid was started under Trump.
Get over it Leftau, but Trump's outstanding accomplishment was keeping Hillary Clinton out of the office of President. We should be eternally grateful for that.

Most ironic is the fact that Trump got on the Bandwagon with Drug Companies to get a vaccine developed in record time back in 2020 and you fail to recognize it Leftau.. Whatever the military was doing is of little consequence. Can you name the vaccine they have on the market and where you go to get a shot of it?

China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are still laughing at the USA for having such a weak senile demented Biden and our Woke military leaders. That 33% approval rating for Turnip Brain Biden is still here and probably will keep going down. Yep, still Current Problems for most of Americans until they are solved. However, the Democrats and Closet Democrats don't seem to care and only want that free stuff....so if you don't know what you're talking about Turtle it might be wise to just be quiet.

Mr. VanGennip,
“…was started under Trump…”
Again, you’re letting your “Trumpism” get in the way of facts.
After the Phizer and Moderna were developed (during the end of the Trump administration) vaccine distribution was left in “limbo” due to Trump’s obsession with undoing the honest and fair Biden election victory. Biden picked “up the ball” and we went from about 2 million vaccinated to over 200 million.
“…get a vaccine developed in record time…”
That’s correct, but the accomplishment was preceded by years of medical and scientific research by both private and government labs.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…name the vaccine…”
From USAMRIID….
“…the development of vaccines and therapeutics against Argentine, Korean and Bolivian hemorrhagic fevers, Lassa fever and other exotic diseases…”
“…a new program to improve the existing anthrax vaccine…”
…and…
“THE CINDER BLOCK hallways inside the US Army’s top virus research lab are punctuated every few feet with windows that peer into tiny offices and laboratories crammed with scientific equipment. On each doorway, orange placards with that Vulcan-looking biohazard symbol keep visitors alert. Through one window, you can just make out the heads of two people dressed in Tyvek suits and respirators. They seem to be laughing about something, but their work is deadly serious.
:The pair are growing the SARS CoV-2 virus in round plastic dishes. In February, the CDC sent the Army about 10 drops of blood from one of the first Covid-19 patients, a Washington state man in his fifties who was the epidemic’s first US death. Since then, the Army researchers isolated the virus and have been making more of it to ship to other labs designing a vaccine or treatment against coronavirus.
“If any science lab should be poised to tackle the current outbreak, it’s the US Army Institute of Infectious Diseases, or USAMRIID. This squat tan-colored facility sits in the middle of the sprawling grounds of Fort Detrick, Maryland, about an hour north of Washington, DC. Its scientists have been handling the world’s most dangerous organisms since the late 1960s.”

"Biden picked “up the ball” and we went from about 2 million vaccinated to over 200 million."
No Leftau, Biden was handed the ball which was obviously on play and had not been dropped. To use your numbers Trump had a couple of weeks to put together a program and vaccinate 2 million people. Biden with yhevprogram handed to him has had a year to raise the number to 200 million. Further there have been more deaths during Biden's term in office than Trump's. And Biden had the vaccines and vaccination program handed to him.
How do you account for Biden's campaign rhetoric with that many deaths on his watch a President should resign. Yet he remains in office and hasn't the decency to resign. How about you address this Leftau. Or, are you too hung up in Bidenism?

Exactly, the development was based on years of scientific and medical research, much of which was industry-government cooperation and joint efforts.
The vaccines were enabled within about a year specifically because there was so much relevant work that came first.
The vaccines may have been approved during his administration but the groundwork had already been accomplished.

Leftau, if you want to dig deeper, I suppose we could take it back to 1492. I might ask, do you know what happened then.
First, let's get one thing straight, I never claimed Trump created the vaccine. Trump's contribution was getting government and it's bureaucrats out of the way. This allowed the scientists to get vaccines to market in record time. Do you hate Trump so much you cannot manage to begrudge him any credit? What a sorry POS!

Mr. VanGennip,
Here’s another example of facts contradicting your "narrative" and opinions…
Biden had nothing to do with Shokin firing.
Why Was Ukraine's Top Prosecutor Fired? The Issue At The Heart Of The Dispute Gripping Washington
Per RFE
“However, there are two big problems with the narrative presented by Trump and Giuliani, according to activists in Ukraine and others.
For one thing, Ukrainian prosecutors and anti-corruption advocates who were pushing for an investigation into the dealings of Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevskiy, said the probe had been dormant long before Biden leveled his demand.
"There was no pressure from anyone from the United States" to close the case against Zlochevskiy, Vitaliy Kasko, who was a deputy prosecutor-general under Shokin and is now first deputy prosecutor-general, told Bloomberg News in May. "It was shelved by Ukrainian prosecutors in 2014 and through 2015," he added.
"Activists say the case had been sabotaged by Shokin himself. As an example, they say two months before Hunter Biden joined Burisma's board, British authorities had requested information from Shokin's office as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering by Zlochevskiy. Shokin ignored them.
Kaleniuk and AntAC published a detailed timeline of events surrounding the Burisma case, an outline of evidence suggesting that three consecutive chief prosecutors of Ukraine -- first Shokin’s predecessor, then Shokin, and then his successor -- worked to bury it.
"Ironically, Joe Biden asked Shokin to leave because the prosecutor failed [to pursue] the Burisma investigation, not because Shokin was tough and active with this case," Kaleniuk said.
"Ukrainian prosecutors have described no evidence indicating that Biden sought to help his son by getting Shokin dismissed -- and have suggested that they have not discovered any such evidence.
"But there is a long list of Western organizations, governments, and diplomats, as well as Ukrainian anti-corruption groups, that wanted to see Shokin fired.
"They include the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, the U.S. government, foreign investors, and Ukrainian advocates of reform.

Presidential elections have never really been about picking the very best person to do the job. It's simply been about who each political believes will get the most votes.
If it were a matter of getting the best person, we'd be better off eliminating political parties and having about 10 highly qualified individuals submit detailed resumes and have a nationwide vote to select one person as President and the runner up as Vice-President.

Six year terms for President,Senate and the House. No more campaigning from the day they take office. Those were never intended to be lifetime appointments. Plus no retirement benefits.

I do not know or care what Trump says or does regarding Joe Biden , I do my own thinking, and I think Joe Biden is lower than a snakes belt buckle when it comes to integrity. Like it or lump it I don't care.

You can't bring yourself to deny Trump's big lie.
And now you swallow his "quid pro quo" lie.
Do you believe that if it weren't for him, we be at war with North Korea?
Do you understand that one of his biggest blunders was pulling out of the Iran agreement so they can now make a bomb?

There are several ways to consider paycheck signatures...
Because of the quality of my work, I received pay raises, promotions and got to sign the back of a check (or get payment through direct deposit.)
I'm guessing that you got to sign the front because of the quality of work of others, not necessarily yours.

Well we're gaining on it now. Perhaps when you learn the Thought, Blood,Sweat and Tears it takes to start and make a small business work your education in that area will be complete. When we started ours, and I say we because I had an excellent partner, my wife, there was one recently started business and another started same time as our own. The 2nd one was gone within a year, the first didn't make it 5 years. Ours, although not owned by us any longer celebrates 59 years within roughly 60 days. Look up the statistics on new business startups sometime
We were just lucky I guess. But, I signed the front of paychecks for two retired army men I hired while personally operating the business.

"That's highly commendable, but the fact remains that you also "profited" from the work of others."
I thought about letting this slide, then I thought no, Leftau needs to learn and understand how things work.
Leftau, let me explain the economics of the situation where an Employer hires an Employee
1. The employee has a job and receives a check so they can feed their family.
2. The employee pays taxes for the government to squander however they see fit.
3. The employee is not collecting unemployment. Or worse, welfare.
4. The employer gets to file tons of government paperwork.
5. The employer gets to pay into the employee's Social Security.
6. The employer gets to contribute to the employee's health insurance
7. The employer gets to pocket what is left over.
8. The employer gers to pay mote taxes for the government to squander.
And that Leftau is just a partial list of the Employer - Employee relationship.

"That's all obvious. What's your point?"
My point was to try and make it simple for you to understand Leftau that hiring an employee is just a tad more complicated than making a profit off said employee's labor, as you implied below. And I don't need you to explain to me #7 is just a bit more complicated. I know. I walked the walk, you talk the talk. I have no idea what your text books may say about running a business, I got my education for it in the school of hard knocks. Fortunately my business was established and my education was at a point that I could withstand a broadside when my primary supplier was sold. The new company sent in a bunch of college boys with MBA behind their name and they thought they could take advantage of poor Country Hillbillies like me. I survived as did most of my friends in the same business around the country did, most of the Yuppie MBA's did not.
"but the fact remains that you also "profited" from the work of others."
And that above statement is an oversimplification of how business works.
The bottom line is, it has to be a good deal for employer and employee to create an environment for success. I don't really care for the yuppie win, win description of a long range successful endeavor of any kind, but that is what it is.

Getting off track on this thread, but here is another "you didn’t build that" story.
I don't shop Schnucks, but I admire their success story. They say you have to have a "Business Plan" when starting a business, I suspect that original Schnuck had one similar to my own which pretty much amounted to, work hard and try to keep from starving to death, and plan your moves as you go. I doubt Mr Schnuck saw in his mind what a great organization they would grow into. Same thing most likely applied to Mr. Ford when he joined the "Horseless Carriage" building business.
The idea that you had to have a detailed written business plan came along later pushed by the same kind of thinking that birthed the "you didn't build that" BS.

Leftau, as I told you before when you offered this feeble excuse for Obama's oversized mouth. I'm not buying it. I started building bridges when I was 18, purchased my first automobile and started sticking a fuel nozzle in my tank and I kept building roads and bridges as I put fuel nozzles in the tanks of my trucks as well as paying taxes and employing people to put fuel in their tanks.
You are not selling that BS uncontested here Leftau. That dreamed up excuse for Obama's oversized mouth won't pass muster. And that SOB was not there in the early days when I was dragging my body out of bed at 2:00 am to fix a malfunctioning furnace in a truck that had it's wheels literally frozen to the ground. Blow your smoke elsewhere, people like myself do not appreciate being denigrated by a cocky president of questionable unmarried parents. Got that??

Further Leftaue, I would temind you that every welfare recipient, that I helped support while building a business, also used those roads and bridges.

Try to act your age, even if you aren't aware, I have no knowledge of vhow my fuel taxes are portioned out. I helped build them and I had and have as much right to use them as any other citizen.

BS Spreader Lettau: Here is Obama's speech word per word. Pay note: "If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen."
"There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -- look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
"The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.
"So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That’s how we funded the G.I. Bill. That’s how we created the middle class. That’s how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That’s how we invented the Internet. That’s how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that’s the reason I’m running for President -- because I still believe in that idea. You’re not on your own, we’re in this together." Barack Obama, remarks at a campaign event in Roanoke, Va., July 13, 2012
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Mon, Jan 24, 2022, at 12:12 PM
Mr. Braswell,
This is a more complete quote…
"Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that."
The subject is “this unbelievable American system” and no individual person did that. “You [individually] didn’t build that, but you [collectively] did.
“That” in context clearly refers to “roads and bridges.”
----- ---- --- -- -
It so happened that the republicans at that time were the “sensitive snowflakes” that intentionally misinterpreted the statement, whining about how they did too, “build their own business.”
Of course they did, and no one said otherwise. Trying to make themselves out to be victims by fake, slanderous claims, rather admit it was deliberately misunderstood is a time-honored republican/conservative technique.
Mr. Braswell and Mr. VanGennip, in this instance appear to be the "chief snowflakes."

Leftau, before any business is built there has to be a need. There were wagon makers, candle makers, clock makers, carpenters long before America existed. Coming to America created needs and some saw a need and rose to the challenge. I recognize all of that.
However this part of his word salad created by him or speech writers stands out and is insulting....
"If you've got a business, you didn't build that."
That is a direct lie and insult to thousands of people who bit the bullet and did it.
I was invited to come to my town and start my business as there was a need. There are two parts to it Leftau.
1. There has to be a need for the product.
2. There has to be an individual or group with desire, need and guts to fill that need.
The statement "you didn't build that" is a lie and an insult. You can stutter and stammer and lie to make his insulting statement true, but it won't fly Leftau. Haven't you carried water for Obama long enough Leftau? If starting a business was so easy Leftau, why didn't you do it? You like to talk the talk and tell everybody there is nothing to it, but you haven't taken a single step in the walk to do it. Try it sometime and report back on how easy it is. If there were no Edison or Fords and many others, you would be scribbling your notes with a quill pen with a candle for light, and your food would be raised by Farmers using Oxen. All you have proved so far Leftau, Obama was too dense to be President. Otherwise he would never have read that word salad off a teleprompter. For that matter without people like Edison to make the teleprompter possible, he would have never been President. Who would have voted for a candidate standing in front of them stuttering I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I, with nothing else,, on and on as he has done on occasion.

SinceLeftau cannot answer the above, perhaps he can explain this away.
History Lesson on Your Social Security Card
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this, it's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.
Social Security Cards up until the 1980's expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.
An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message
Our Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program.
He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary.
No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the program.
Now 7.65% on the first $90,000
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year.
No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants put in would go into the independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other government program.
Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and Spent
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month --
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put away' --
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats now turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so.

Apparently Leftau feels it appropriate to criticize people like me for saying something like "Let's go Brandon" as Inappropriate and Childish but his President can SOB if all over the place and that is fine. And Slow Joe doesn't use the initials he shouts it out. Google would flag him in a minute. But Leftau will not respond and praise him or call him out on it.

Leftau, can you explain why it is ok for the President to mouth something but for me to quote him is wrong? You are not going to gain any traction on that one and if you are afraid to grade Biden on his SOB's just say so.
And so far as Trump is concerned Water Boy, he has not been a part of this conversation. You try and defend Biden by mentioning Trump's behaviour. I thought Trump was what all you Democrats were voting against. So now if he said something it is permissible for Biden to do the same thing. Can you spell hypocr:tcal?

Mr. VanGennip,
Per your link...
"The crowd size at the rally was at least 10,000, according to the Associated Press."
So with 2500 "insurrectionists" attacking the Capital, it is very far from being a "relative few." More like 25%.
And as the "insurrectionists" completely overran about 1200 Capital police, it was in no way a "relative few."
Only in the Schaefer/VanGennip fantasy world.

In case you missed it….
Finally some honesty from the VP.
“Vice President Mike Pence on Friday resoundingly rejected a claim by former President Trump that he had the ability to overturn the 2020 presidential election, saying that there's little that is more un-American than the notion that any president can choose the nation's leader.
"There are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer of the joint session of Congress that I possessed unilateral authority to reject Electoral College Votes. And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election. President Trump is wrong," Pence said during a speech in Florida to the Federalist Society. "I had no right to overturn the election."
"The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone," Pence continued. "And frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one American could choose the American president. Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election."
Pence says "Trump is wrong" that he had a right to overturn 2020 election - CBS News

BTW, Adam Kinzinger the RINO is not running for re-election because he saw the writing on the wall months ago.

Speak for yourself little Democrat - I'm a Conservative Republican who like the vast majority of Republicans supports Pres.

Mr. VanGennip,
Nothing was "dictated."
This is a straight forward public health issue, not a "Constitutionality" question.
Individuals had the choice of a vaccination, taking tests, working remotely if possible, taking a leave of absence, or finding a different job.
The vast majority of normal Americans don't think it's an issue at all. As you're probably aware, it's been a pandemic of the unvaccinated for over a year.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Feb 8, 2022, at 8:59 PM
Mr. VanGennip,
1.) Nothing was "dictated."
Response: That is a dam lie! It was an unauthorized order to either do as told or lose your job.
2.) This is a straight forward public health issue, not a "Constitutionality" question.
Response: Show us in the Constitution where it says public health has anything to do with one man rule. We have an elected Legislature that makes laws and rules, not one man!
Whoa, wait a minute, wasn't one man rule what you brought up about Trump and his VP? Leftau are you trying to say if a Democrat can dream up a reason they can dictate to the rest of us, but that doesn't apply to anyone else?
3.) Individuals had the choice of a vaccination, taking tests, working remotely if possible, taking a leave of absence, or finding a different job.
Response: And that justifies one man rule? BS!!! People in Communist countries everywhere have the choice of doing what they are told or being imprisoned or executed. Everybody has a choice if given an order Leftau, but it isn't much of a choice if it is do what you are told or you loose your job, or your freedom, or your life.
4.) The vast majority of normal Americans don't think it's an issue at all. As you're probably aware, it's been a pandemic of the unvaccinated for over a year.
Response: Oh really, where are your numbers to prove that statement, Water Boy? Your word means little on here.

Mr. VanGennip,
Seems your inability to accept facts remains intact.
The democratic party has no need to "bring him down."
You may have forgotten, but the American people brought him down in November of 2020 by telling him "you're fired" and get out of our White House.
All that's going on now is the democrats trying to help normal republicans from destroying their party.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Feb 12, 2022, at 2:52 PM
If there was no fraud in the 2020 election then there would not had being a Jan6 protest unless the Democrats had one.
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Sat, Feb 12, 2022, at 3:56 PM
1.) Seems your inability to accept facts remains intact.
Response: What you would like me to accept are fallacies not facts Water Boy.
2.) The democratic party has no need to "bring him down."
Response: It is spelled R_e_v_e_n_g_e Water Boy. Are you trying to deny they didn't puruse him with investigations and charges of Impeachment for 4 long years and lost on every one of them. Get a life BOY, and accept reality.
3.) You may have forgotten, but the American people brought him down in November of 2020 by telling him "you're fired" and get out of our White House.
More of your dreamed up wordage that has no bearing on the American system of elections and how they are carried out. You have been instructed how our system works a number of times and do not seem to have a grasp on it yet.
Reality is, the Amerecan people made a huge mistake by letting the Democratic Party pawn off, a man who is essentially brain deceased, on them.
4.) All that's going on now is the democrats trying to help normal republicans from destroying their party.
Response: Speak of a hillareous statement, that one goes right to the top of the charts. In reality it is a total crock of BS.
Laughing at you Water Boy and your feeble attempt to put together a coherent and honest post at this point. If this word salad is an example of the best you can put together for truth and reality you must have ridden the short bus to school.

Yep, Republicans don't even need to campaign just stay in their basements and let Biden win Congress for the Republicans!!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Sat, Feb 12, 2022, at 4:20 PM
Just a little friendly help for you Leftau. You might want to start working on the Democrats problems instead of inventing some for the Republicans.
Some of your wacky Leftists are trying to take us into a Socialistic government which will wind up Communistic if it is allowed to happen. Have you ever heard of a little country down there in South America that is learning the hard way that Socialism and Communism has not worked anywhere it has been tried yet? Guess you all are slow learners, Leftau.
Yes Google it is civil and meant as educational as well. Our resident Water Boy appears to be a slow learner.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Feb 12, 2022, at 4:32 PM
One more thing Leftau, why won't Biden take the cognitive test as Trump set a precident and did? It appears Biden fears he cannot pass it. What do you think Lefty, do you think he can pass it?

Another "Braswellism." What is it that you think is "insulting?"
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Feb 12, 2022, at 6:38 PM
Mr. VanGennip,
"...do you think he can pass it?"
I have no way of knowing for sure, but I believe he could.
I also can easily understand why he would not waste his time taking a test as simple as the one Trump took. The simple reason is that it would not prove anything to anyone.
Were he to have passed a test, would you and republican/conservatives then be satisfied and give him full credit for cognitive ability. I'd say not, I'd guess you'd claim he cheated, or the test was too easy, or more likely, you'd say it didn't prove anything.
The same is true of Trump. Whether he passed it or not, it didn't make him a "better president," it didn't prevent him from making the same blunders, or poor decisions. It clearly didn't prevent him from trying to overthrow a fair and legitimate election.
So, yes, I think he'd pass it.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Feb 12, 2022, at 6:54 PM
Leftau, no need to feel sorry for me, it's you who is hallucinating.
Try showing me where I was covering for Trump. People with big mouths like you and Trump were never total favorites of mine.
However, if it came to a contest between him, or you, or brain deceased Biden and I had to pick one, the choice would be easy.

"Analysis: Trump's legal woes deepen and could bring new political trouble"
"(CNN)He might say he's the master of the art of the deal. But Donald Trump's real superpower is his talent for wriggling out of accountability after sailing close to the law and normal rules of politics, business and life in a way that would have destroyed most public figures long ago.
"However, after he bounced back following a lifetime of business bankruptcies, scandals and impeachments, it might soon be time to consider whether the ex-President's flair for impunity is starting to fail him after a string of legal defeats tightened a net of scrutiny around him.
"In the latest blow on Thursday, a judge in New York ruled that Trump and his eldest two children, Donald Jr. and Ivanka, must sit for depositions in the New York attorney general's civil probe into their business practices. It was far from Trump's only recent rough day in court."

The 3 of them will be under oath.
And we all remember him stating emphatically that...
"If you are not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for?" Trump said at a campaign rally in Florida in September.
"The mob takes the Fifth Amendment," Trump said at a campaign event in Iowa later that month. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"

However, there are plenty of disasters caused by Turnip Brain Biden that will sink the Dems in Nov. If Harris and Pelosi were smart they would insist on Biden to take a cognitive test and then invoke the 25th Amendment to keep Biden from doing anymore harm to the USA.

Oil/gas dependence whereas Independent under Trump.
Unconstitutional vaccine mandates with the threat of employment termination.
Afghanistan Withdrawal Fiasco leaving American citizens and military equipment behind.

The attack of parents as terrorists for voicing displeasure with their school boards.

The issue revolves entirely around preventing Trump from inflicting more damage on the nation. True (have you forgotten his January 6th insurgency already?)

Water Boy, I believe I asked , since you are mouthing the talking points to show us how Trump damaged our country.
You still waiting for the DNC talking points or did you just let your mouth overload your back side, and you have nothing.

It would seem that you're of the opinion that the Trump insurgency and the blatant attack on the Capital was somehow good for the country.
Is that what you "truly believe?"

No, and I have said before, people like you are trying to paint all with the same brush for the actions of a relevant few.
And I gave you proof on the numbers. You made a broad statement.....
"No one wants to "...get even with Trump..." over Hillary, least of all me. The issue revolves entirely around preventing Trump from inflicting more damage on the nation."
I am not condoning what happened Jan 6th, nor do I think Trump directed the relative few to do what they did.
So Water Boy, show us all of the damage Trump did to the country during his administration, or is that all you have?
Obama did a much greater amount of damage to America by the division he brought to us that exists to this day.
So unless you can show us something to back up your statement, I will put it down as more carrying water for the Democrats and nothing more.

"...nor do I think Trump directed the relatively few to do what they did."
Do you really pay that little attention to facts? Who called the insurgents to come to Washington DC on that specific day? Who told them to go to the Capital? Who said "they had to fight?"
"...relatively few..." Did you not see video of the huge "MAGA mob" viciously attacking the Capital Police?
You can't be that blind.

No, I am not blind, but you must be, if you cannot read and understand what I said/wrote.
You keep touting Damage done. Yes there was. And the people responsible are being held responsible. Are you truly dense enough that you believewhat happened was by Trump's design?
Here is something happening right now that is of a much greater concern than what happened on Jan 6, which appears to be all you have.
This is definitely by Biden's design and can definitely be traced back to his less than smart move in making an Executive Order to destroy Trump's success in controlling the Southern Border. Now get busy Water Boy and see if you can make this look pretty.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Feb 18, 2022, at 8:00 PM
Why were the insurgents there?
Who called for them to come to Washington on that specific day?
What was their purpose in attacking the police?
Why did they chant "hang Mike Pence?"
Why did Trump say he was going with them?
Just go on and ignore the hard questions...
No surprise there.

Water Boy, you are trying to make a library of questions out of the one incident. I already told you I didn't agree with what happened. To answer your one incident because it is all you can find to disagree with out of 4 years, you want me to answer a flurry of questions which I obviously cannot answer as I was not there and I don't read minds.
Water Boy, you are the one who tried to claim Trump's Presidency was a disaster, but you are very short on facts, appearing to only have one item to enumerate and you try to make it of earth shaking consequence by trying to ask me questions instead of giving us the list of charges you have suggested you had. If that is all you have, it would appear he had a pretty good run with the exception of the one item you can think of and it is obvious it did not go as planned, with a relative few who got totally out of hand and will have to pay for their poor judgement.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Feb 18, 2022, at 9:39 PM
No one expects anyone to read minds, but when people stay abreast of facts they are able to think for themselves.
Claiming he "...had a pretty good run..." without credible evidence, comes down to making excuses. Presidents that do well get re-elected, those that don't get impeached and "fired."
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Feb 19, 2022, at 12:22 AM
To itemize the "...damage Trump did to the country during his administration..." start with his lying to Americans on a daily basis. Go from "my crowd was bigger than his crowd" on day one, to the big lie, which continued up to his last day, and beyond.
In the interim, one of his most damaging actions was stating his belief of Putin's lies over our intelligence agencies.
More to be added.

No President in recent history has lied as often nor as detrimentally as Trump.

Or FDR telling Americans that Pearl Harbor is "fake news."

Water Boy, you still haven't listed the damages created by the lie. So it appears we will have to dismiss it as a figment of your imagination.
I can list one lie though that was voiced by a President that has damaged people in America. That was the lie that Social Security was going to take care of you and the fund would not be used for anything else. Nor would it be taxed.

Mr. VanGennip,
Another lesson...
Social security is not taxed if it's your only source of income.
Since you and I, and most Americans, planned ahead and have other sources of retirement income, a portion of the social security is taxed.
Why is that a big issue?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Feb 20, 2022, at 11:47 AM
Social security is not taxed if it's your only source of income.
It is a big issue excuse you think Presidential Lying is damaging to America. When FDR said it would not be taxed, he did not set conditions. He Lied, it is being taxed.
What about the money remaining in Trust and the Dims made that a lie also.
So when you cast a stone be careful that it doesn't bounce back and hit you.
And I haven't even got to the lie about how much could be taxed.
Want to venture out into Bill Clinton's lies??

Leftau, I will expose whomever I please. I know dictating to others is a Democrat and/or a Communists way of life. Take Biden for an example, but nowhere that I am aware that, am I obliged to take orders from you. Trump is not President, Barack Obama is not President and Bill Clinton is not President, but they all have one thing in common. Want to try and guess what it is? And Slick Willy lied under Oath.
And all of a sudden, you don't want to talk about Presidents who have lied.

Well Leftau, if you are speaking of Biden, he said he would stop Covid, he has not and Covid is ongoing, so his lie is alive and ongoing as he has not corrected his lie. Also he said a President with 300000 deaths under his watch should resign. Biden has more under his watch and he has not resigned yet.... unless of course he did it in the last 10 minutes and I have not read it yet.
Biden's Presidencey is weaker snd much worse than Trump's. He fouls up everything he touches. Down to his choice as Vice president.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Feb 20, 2022, at 3:37 PM
More goofiness on your part.
The end of Covid-19 was right there just about a year ago. Then the "anti-vac'ers" came out of the woodwork and the goal of 80 to 90% vaccinated was stymied, by many red states. So it became a pandemic of the unvaccinated, and the death count rose accordingly. How is that Biden's fault? Vaccines were available to every American. That's what he "promised." You can lead republicans/conservatives to the vaccine but you can't make them take the shot.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Feb 20, 2022, at 4:10 PM
Water Boy, you tried throwing into the mix that only candidates for office were fair game. Not buying that lame attempt. There are no candidates for office yet and you have been on Trump's case strong, since day one of his defeating Broom Hilda and continuously up until now. So not buying your attempt to remove all Democrats from criticism. I personally do not believe Trump will be the Republicans candidate in 2024. Nor do I believe the Dims will be dense enough to pull their less than brilliant mistake of running brain deceased Biden again.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Feb 20, 2022, at 4:16 PM

Nice try Water Boy, but it won't fly. 100% vaccinations are not going to stop covid by itself. People with vaccinations and booster shots are getting it. Biden should not have shot his mouth off and lied about something he did not have the wherewithal to complete. His attempt at dictating to free citizens was another mistake. He never had the authority under our Constitution to do so. I personally feel all should get the shot. Wife and I did along with the booster. It does not come with a guarantee. You can spout off and make goofy statements about what kind of epidemic it is, but it is your opinion and meaningless. The problem started with China and will end? We know not where. But Biden is not going to cure it. Hopefully the medical field gets it stopped and soon.

I will take that as your opinion which is for all practical purpose, meaningless.
Biden has fixed nothing. HE fouled up what Trump had fixed and look what that has got us. We were energy independent, he fouled that up and our fuel prices are up. He canceled Trump's Southern Border Policy and now we have hordes of new dependents overwhelming us to the point Trump is having them scattered all over our country under the cover of darkness, with absolutely no consideration for Covid and American citizens. And they will be drawing on our welfare system, count on it. Piling them into airplanes with no regard for anything. However they would like to institute a Covid Passport on me and the promise of a "Real ID" in the not too distant future to fly. Meanwhile since I choose to invest so that I may remain independent of the welfare system. I get to support this foolishness with my tax dollars. And in return, I will vote against every SOB for office that supports it.

Why are the fences being put back up around the Capitol Building for Biden to come and spill his lies in the State of the Union Speech? Good grief is he that scared of American citizens?

Unemployment is down considerably.
The stock market continues to move upward.
Wages are increasing.
The level of inflation due to various covid related causes, supply chain slowdown and world oil prices will go down again.
There was bipartisan agreement on infrastructure.
Both parties agreed to counter Chinese competition.
The republicans are moving away from Trump.
The US will aid Ukraine with arms and funds but will not be involved militarily.

BS Spreader Lettau: Good try at spinning and twisting the facts! Here is the truth to correct your misinformation:
"Covid is on its way out for us vaccinated people (still hard to imagine why there are some deciding to risk death by refusing a safe and sane vaccine.)"
Yep, more deaths under Biden's first year with vaccines than the year 2020 with no vaccines - when is Biden resigning like he told Trump to with 250,000 deaths? As always Biden lied!
"Unemployment is down considerably."
When the unemployed from the shutdowns are re-employed it's not a plus and BTW, still down from pre-virus Trump days.
"The stock market continues to move upward."
Everyone knows (well almost everyone) that when there is high inflation the stock market is the only place to put any extra money.
"Wages are increasing."
Because the government is paying folks to stay home and draw those checks creating a worker shortage. If you didn't get an 8% wage increase you are losing money every day!
"The level of inflation due to various covid related causes, supply chain slowdown and world oil prices will go down again."
The Inflation of 7.5% is going to continue to go up according to the Fed in 2022.
"There was bipartisan agreement on infrastructure."
That was only because everyone wanted the pork to ensure their re-election in Nov. 2022.
"Both parties agreed to counter Chinese competition."
To continue what Trump started.
"The republicans are moving away from Trump."
Unlike Biden's 35% approval rating with voters, Trump still has between 65% to 75% (depending on what poll is used) support of Republicans.
"The US will aid Ukraine with arms and funds but will not be involved militarily."
You better ask the DNC again on this one - Old Turnip Brain Biden and VP Harris are both tromping their chests over their threats to Russia.

It’s not surprising that when so many conspiracy theories are embraced, it’s hard to keep them straight. In this case, it seems that you’ve been duped by conservative fiction concerning “ghost flights.”
“Ghost flights! Secret flights with “underage migrants” in the dead of night! Buses packed with adult “illegal aliens!”
“If you are not a regular watcher of Fox News or a reader of the New York Post, Breitbart or the Daily Mail, you might be puzzled by the references above. There’s been virtually no coverage of this supposed news by mainstream media outlets. But there’s been a constant drumbeat of concern in right-wing media, highlighted often by GOP candidates running for governor in Pennsylvania and New York. So one of our colleagues suggested we try to figure out what’s going on.
“The implication in some of the news coverage is that the Biden administration is quietly dumping undocumented immigrants into various states away from the border. But that’s wrong. As far as we can tell, little new or different is going on under Biden than under the Trump administration, though the pace of such flights may have increased because of the surge of migrants at the border.
This is more of an explainer, so we’re not offering a Pinocchio rating.
The Facts
Both U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) fly undocumented immigrants to different locations in the United States. ICE handles adults and HHS is responsible for children. At times, both agencies rely on the same contractor, MVM Inc., to manage the flights.
"In other words, the same aircraft and crew could one day be ferrying adults to an ICE detention center and the next day carrying unaccompanied minors for HHS. Moreover, on occasion ICE Air, as the entity is known, might be contracted to handle an HHS flight.
“Some of the confusion comes from the fact that we use MVM, the contractor, and so does HHS,” said an ICE official. “We often are charged with providing transportation of unaccompanied minors.”
“ICE itself transports thousands of detainees to different detention facilities, in part to maintain a 75 percent bed capacity because of pandemic protocols, the official said. About 21,000 people were in ICE detention as of Jan. 16, compared with about 27,000 in July, according to Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.
“It’s important to highlight that these are individuals in our custody,” the official said. “We do not transport individuals on ICE flights that have been released from our custody or paroled into the U.S. to await immigration proceedings.”
“In some cases, the news reporting appears to have mixed up the type of flights or not made it clear that HHS is sending unaccompanied children to relatives or sponsors. Then, when administration officials explained these were HHS flights, an ICE flight would be spotted, resulting in accusations that adults also were being secretly being shipped across the country. But these are just ICE detainees going to another detention facility, officials said.

The above is total BS. If things were being done as they were under the Trump administration we wouldn't be discussing this, period.
Trump had the border under control and Biden changed it with the stroke of a pen.
And Water Boy, You and Biden can not cover it up with an insinuation that it is a "Conspiracy Theory."
Your stating that the main stream media or not reporting on it is laughable. Of course the in the pocket Democratic butt boys are not reporting on it, but others are and I have more faith in what I am reading than I do you, Water Boy.

Water Boy, I don't take so called facts seriously that are not documented.
And one thing about not taking fact seriously. You obviously have never accepted the fact that Joe Biden screwed up our Southern Border after he was handed it relatively secure.
Basically same thing with our energy independence.
A couple of politically motivated EO's and we Americans pay the price for the mistake the Dims put in office.
What I fail to see is how those EO's did anything to benefit the United States. They were nothing but get back at Trump and try to spoil his legacy. In reality they are going to reflect bacly on Biden and the Democrats because of how it turned out.... higher fuel prices and a non secure border. By the way a service station that had regular gas for $3.06 per gallong yesterday is at $3.19 today. Good job Joe, give us some more of your EO's. They are a real benefit aren't they.
Try accepting those facts Water Boy.
And try making us believe that ICE is now sleeping all day and working at night. as a regular order of doing business.

Illegal Border Crossings, Driven by Pandemic and Natural Disasters, Soar to Record High
“A record 1.7 million migrants from around the world, many of them fleeing pandemic-ravaged countries, were encountered trying to enter the United States illegally in the last 12 months, capping a year of chaos at the southern border, which has emerged as one of the most formidable challenges for the Biden administration.
“It was the highest number of illegal crossings recorded since at least 1960, when the government first began tracking such entries. The number was similarly high for the 2000 fiscal year, when border agents caught 1.6 million people, according to government data.
“Single adults represented the largest group of those detained in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, at 1.1 million, or 64 percent of all crossers. There were also large numbers of migrant families — more than 479,000, which is about 48,000 fewer than during the last surge in family crossings in 2019.
“But the nearly 147,000 children whom agents encountered without parents or guardians was the largest number since 2008, when the government started tallying unaccompanied minors. Finding shelter for these migrant children, until they can be released to relatives or other sponsors in the country, was one of the president’s earliest challenges. As of Friday, nearly 11,000 remained in government custody.
“The crossers hailed from around the globe, many of them seeking economic opportunity as the coronavirus pandemic erased hundreds of millions of jobs. Agents caught people from more than 160 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, with Mexico accounting for the largest share.
“A public health rule, invoked by President Donald J. Trump at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 to seal the border, has remained in place under the Biden administration. Over the last 12 months, the Border Patrol has carried out more than one million expulsions of migrants back to Mexico or to the migrants’ home countries. Agents used the public health rule to expel migrants they encountered 61 percent of the time and to expel families 26 percent of the time.
“President Biden has walked a fine line between trying to control the influx and put in place a more humane approach to border enforcement. Republicans have blamed Mr. Biden’s promises to reverse Trump-era immigration policies for fueling the surge, as word spread that the country’s borders had become easier to breach.
“What we are seeing at the southern border is a crisis,” Mike Pompeo, a former secretary of state under Mr. Trump, said on Twitter Friday afternoon. “If the Biden Administration would’ve kept the policies we had in place, this would have never happened.”
“In particular, Republican lawmakers have been sharply critical of the admission of tens of thousands of unaccompanied children, along with many families, who would have been turned back under the Trump administration. The Border Patrol released nearly 250,000 migrants into the country, including some with instructions to appear before an immigration judge for removal proceedings, according to Customs and Border Protection.

However, almost all were expelled and it appears less than 15% (less if children are excluded) were allowed in for immigration proceedings.
Next will come the custoary aversion to facts from SO, watch for it.

Trump Damage to America -- (Volume I)
Persistent, calculated and disingenuous practice of lying to the American public. Started even before his first full day in office by claiming falsely that “my crowd was bigger than his crowd.”
Failed to fulfill campaign promise of tax cuts for the middle class by giving tax cuts to the rich, as per Trump’s quote to Mar a Lago diners, “I just made you all a lot richer.”
Gave underserved attention and recognition to North Korea by “honoring” Kim Jung Un, while gaining zero benefit or advantage to the USA or South Korea.
Withdrew from the 6 party Iran nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which would have kept Iran from making a nuclear bomb, while having no back up plan.
Withdrew from the Paris climate agreement, but fortunately US states and corporations continued to cooperate. And through repeated denial of the challenge of climate change, which is an existential threat, he devitalized and compromised our national security.
Invited violence and defended racist groups such as the “proud boys” and anti-Semitic demonstrators in Charlottesville Va.
Made light of Russian election interference and specifically stated belief of Putin over information provided by US intelligence agencies in Helsinki. Invited further Russian meddling.
Was a complete failure in handling the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead of insisting that we take it seriously he spent months joking about it being just 1 person from China. By his incompetence, the US did not pay nearly enough attention to mitigation efforts such as masking, contact tracing, social distancing, quarantines and avoiding large indoor gatherings. The result was with less than 5% of the world’s population, we had from 20 to 25% of cases and deaths.
He intentionally corroded and undermined “social trust.” This critical element of a successful society was ignored and the prediction of SecState Shultz, who wrote. “When trust was not in the room, good things did not happen. Everything else is details,” came true.
Established rules on sexual harassment were rolled back.
He operates on the theory which claims, “That which you can get away with, is true.” He has no respect for honesty and facts.
He abdicated leadership of the free world, primarily by degrading and disrespecting our friends and allies.
By repeated affronts, he destabilized and weakened NATO, our primary mutual defense pact.
Trump has “cheapened” the position of President like no other occupant before him. He “instilled distrust in essential institutions of justice and democracy, and replaced knowledge and professionalism with ignorance and amateurism.” (Author unknown but absolutely correct.)

“Meet the pro-Putin Republicans and conservatives”
More Trump bad news
Republican Accountability Project
It’s time to tell the GOP we’ve had enough of the lies and conspiracies. Republicans and conservatives across the country are doing just that.
“On the surface, it seems like Republicans can't decide how they feel about Russian President Vladimir Putin invading the sovereign country of Ukraine.
"On one hand, the more old guard GOP leadership is formally denouncing Putin and trying to score their political points against Joe Biden by claiming that this is evidence that the U.S. president is "weak." But both their de facto leader, Donald Trump, and their de facto party agenda-setter, Tucker Carlson, have been out there making their love and support of Putin known.
"As with every internal conflict in the GOP, the smart bet is the Trumpian wing will win over the traditional conservatives, even though it once again means that Republicans will be siding against America and democracy in favor of the forces of authoritarianism.

Extracts from…
New research on Trump voters: They're not the sharpest tools in the box (msn.com)
“The United States is experiencing an existential democracy crisis, with leading Republicans and millions of their voters and supporters either tacitly or explicitly embracing authoritarianism or fascism. Democrats, for the most part, have not responded with the urgency required to save America's democracy from the rising neofascist tide.
“What does this mean for the present and future of American democracy in this time of crisis? Sherkat cited the "disturbing ... influence of anti-intellectualism on American public life," which lends "performative power to ignorant elites":
“Spouting off obvious untruths is no longer a mark of shame, because even basic historical and contemporary truths are not recognized. We seem to have a stable set of about 30% of Americans, 35% of white Americans, who are oblivious to political realities and incapable and unwilling to come to terms with any of our key social problems. The increasing control over public education by right-wing fanatics is entrenching ignorance and intellectual laziness in future generations. It does not bode well for the future of American democracy.
“Donald Trump and his movement did not create all these American authoritarians and aspiring fascists. Such people have long been a feature of American society. What Trump and have accomplished in recent years is to empower and normalize a dangerous set of antisocial, anti-human, retrograde and anti-democratic values and beliefs.
“Saving America's democracy will require a moral and political reckoning and acts of critical self-reflection on a nationwide scale about the American people's character and values, and about how their leaders and governing institutions have failed them.”

You are surrounded in name signing requirements in modern day life from purchasing groceries and using a credit card or a check to someday buying a car or a home. What is wrong with these people's thinking. Sure we have a world full of electronics, but I do not see signing your name going totally away.

When it comes to CRT, I believe anything along that line taught during the first 8 grades is nothing more than indocrination. I have no problem with it being taught to Juniors or Seniors in High School where their thought processes have matured enough to do rational thinking for themselves. By it's own title it is not necessarily a fact, but a theory developed by people with a slanted interest and an agenda. I can remember a high school teacher with a very slanted political agenda. But here we are talking high school and while we were still in a learning stage we had mentally developed to where we could separate fact from opinion. My opinion, the job of primary school teachers is to teach people to think and learn the basics. Keep your personal agendas personal. If you can teach a child to read, to write and some other basics along with History and Geography by the time he/she graduates High School, the job is pretty much complete here. From that point he/she is off to College or enters the work force and if College is not in the cards, as it is not for every body, that young adult is prepared to complete his/her education by self learning. Creating the desire for knowledge on any or a variety of subjects points them in the direction of success at what they choose. One's greatest achievement is learning how to think and next comes the desire to learn.
Personally, I have not had one day of formal training on computers, but I have built a number of my own back in the early days and have helped college graduates with problems. How? Because I had good teachers who taught me how to read and think my way through problems. The knowledge is out there if you dig for it.
Bottom line as I see it, keep the indoctrination out of our schools and teach our children the basics and how to think. With that they will do just fine.
As I was told by someone near and dear at my Eighth Grade Graduation "Be The Best Of Whatever You Are!" I try but would be the first to admit I don't think I always make it.
And that bit of advice came from an 8th grade graduate, all there was for her to achieve at the time.

CRT is not taught in grades 1 through 8. It's not taught in high school or even college.
It's utilized in graduate school as a tool to study and analyze societal constructs and interactions. Nothing more, and there's no covert agenda.

Bolton Says U.S. Would Be in 'Worse Shape' Had Trump Nixed NATO
Villarreal 3/10/22 AT 7:03 PM EST
"John Bolton, the former national security advisor to President Donald Trump, says that the U.S. would be in "worse shape" had Trump withdrawn the U.S. from the North American Treaty Organization (NATO), the Western alliance seeking to limit Russia's military expansion.
"Trump repeatedly considered leaving the 30-nation alliance during his presidency, Bolton and The New York Times have reported. Doing so would have emboldened Russian President Vladimir Putin and left the U.S. in a weaker position to oppose him during Russia's recent invasion into Ukraine, Bolton said. The administration of current President Joe Biden believes that NATO's unity has deterred Russia from further aggression.

“WASHINGTON, March 24 (Reuters) - Donald Trump on Thursday sued his rival in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Hillary Clinton, and several other Democrats, alleging that they tried to rig that election by tying his campaign to Russia.
“The lawsuit covers a long list of grievances the Republican former president repeatedly aired during his four years in the White House after beating Clinton, and comes as he continues to falsely claim that his 2020 election defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden was the result of widespread fraud.”

“In his highly-anticipated, 448-page report released on Thursday, special counsel Robert Mueller laid out in painstaking detail the Trump campaign’s willingness to engage with Russian officials on a wide range of politically sensitive matters.
“Dozens of Russians, directed by the highest levels of the Kremlin, repeatedly contacted at least 17 Trump campaign officials, advisors, and associates. These Trump intermediaries included Ivanka Trump’s friends in the fashion industry, an array of Wall Street bankers and financiers, a Maltese professor and a man mistakenly believed to be an Olympic weightlifter.”

Water Boy your entire post is a string of opinionated BS, but this really stands out.
Trump was President of Nation first and Nato second. He wanted the Nato nations to pay up what they had pledged to pay instead of Americans footing the bill for their dishonoring their pledge. That might be looked upon as actually strengthening NATO by requiring nations to honor their committments.
Specifically what did Biden do to strengthen Nato as you suggested he did.

He was able to manage the various national interests to ensure the collective objectives remained to aid Ukraine and oppose Putin, and keep the alliance from confronting the Russian military directly.
He was specifically successful in building up the confidence of Poland and the Baltic nations bordering Russia.

PS Water Boy:
"...and your continuing blindness to the truth."
For your information, I am not blind to the truth, just selective of deciding what the truth is. And finding the truth instead of your opinions is difficult in your posts.
You opinion and about $5 can get me a cup of Starbuck's coffee which I do not like, so maybe I should say your opinion and a $1 or so can get me a good cup of coffee in a few places yet.

Water Boy, in your self adoration and blessing you put on everything the Democratic Crazies/Leftists put out here, you forget the fact that Conservatives also have a right to their thinking and values.
I have never believed in far right, or far left. I have stated before, anything too far left or right is problematic. The BS regarding numerous genders is definitely not a belief of any Conservatives I am aware of.
So why do you feel obligated to take a shot at Conservatives in your rebuttal? The crazies seem to be religated to the far left Democrats at this point in history.
Multiple genders, Men in the women's rest rooms, men in women's sports, Socialism, Communistic leanings. There is nothing Conservative in any of this crazy mix, it is all far left Democratic religion.

The NATO issue is a matter of pure ignorance on Trump's part. The 2% "target" was never money paid into NATO, it was the member nation's own defense spending.
On Nord Stream 2, he didn't block it and Biden didn't open it. The issue was and is an internal German matter.

Just a little something I ran across that might interest the Water Boy and his constant whining about Trump's performance so far as NATO is concerned. Seems as if NATO's chief is kind of grateful to Trump and says he had a positive impact on NATO
The following quote shows you to be the one who does not understand the funding structure at NATO Water Boy.
"NATO members agreed in 2014 to spend two percent of their gross domestic product on defense by 2024 but around half are not on course to make that target.
Stoltenberg said, however, that by the end of 2020, NATO allies would have added $100 billion extra toward defense spending."
I am sure you will be able to explain to us where NATO's Chief is wrong, and you are correct Water Boy.
Or as is your normal Modes Operandi, will you just ignore the facts? Or maybe first check the Democratic Talking Points to check how to respond when confronted with the facts?
Lefty would you think perhaps some of those NATO countries understand they are sitting ducks for nations like Russia and they don't like the thought of the U.S. picking up their marbles and going home? And maybe some thanks is due Trump for waking them up?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Mar 29, 2022, at 11:42 PM
Stoltenberg is correct.
NATO member have been increasing their defense expenditures for many years.
The Secretary-General knows how NATO works. Trump doesn't. Evidence of that is when he makes self-serving statements like, "...NATO was poor and now it is rich..."
...or..
"There would be no NATO if I didn't act strongly and swiftly."
Both claims are totally untrue, NATO was never poor nor was its existence in jeopardy. All defense funding related to the 2% target is national funding, not NATO funding.
When Trump claims he got "...delinquent NATO members to start paying their dues..." it just reiterates his ignorance of the facts. The so-called "dues" are what member countries pay into the common fund and no one is delinquent, simply because the 2% target is a totally different issue.
Try paying attention to the facts, rather than fake Trump claims.

Mr. VanGennip,
Here are a series of quotes from former President Trump. The question is, are any of them factual?
----- ---- --- -- -
"...NATO was poor and now it is rich..."
"There would be no NATO if I didn't act strongly and swiftly."
"... but it [the US] was forced to pay the costs of the many delinquent NATO countries…”
” …me, as President of the United States, that got delinquent NATO members to start paying their dues..."
“…many countries [in NATO] owe us a tremendous amount of money for many years back, where they’re delinquent…”
“….‘if you don’t pay up, no protection’. They all paid up, and paid up quickly…”
----- ---- --- -- -
They are in fact, all untrue, as has been explained to you already.
However, my prediction is that you will disagree, because seem always to take anything he says as correct. This appears to be the case as you either have no ability, or no desire to adequately factcheck his statements. (Recall Rule 1, Trump is always right…)
It’s more than clear that you will remain confused and bewildered as long as you allow Trump to do your “thinking” for you.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Mar 30, 2022, at 12:18 PM
"Two simple facts are 1, that we only pay our fair share,"
Lefty can you please explain to us why our share is double of our GDP what a lot of nations are paying on theirs? Has nothing to do with dollar amounts. I gave you the shedules of payments and we can all read. So this better be good!
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Mar 30, 2022, at 12:48 PM
” …me, as President of the United States, that got delinquent NATO members to start paying their dues..."
Water Boy, most of this is Trump blowing his own horn.
However the one above is absolutely true. Now you will probably try to pick that apart on the word "dues". But that won't hold water either, once you have agreed on paying something, that is "DUE" and many were not paying it. By the admission of the NATO official, Trump did them a big favor and you in principle are dead wrong on your earlier criticism and not man enough to own up to it.
You can throw all of the insults you like as in...
"It’s more than clear that you will remain confused and bewildered as long as you allow Trump to do your “thinking” for you."
For your information Little Man, I am not in the slightest confused, let alone bewildered by any of this and I do not need Trump to think for me or anyone else for that matter.
You are the one to bring up Obama and Biden doing as much as Trump to get these other countries what they agreed upon. How about you back up that statement with some proof?
There is one thing that does bewilder me to a point. That is how anyone can have their head so far up the dark place of a politician or political party as you have.

Leftau, in your self proclaimed knowledgable position, please show me where Obama and Biden got the NATO countries to start paying up as you stated earlier, or was it just more of your typical BS that you are unwilling or unable to back up.
What I find amusing is how you keep trying to tie me into totally falling at the feet of Donald Trump, which is far from the truth. I have said many times his mouth was his biggest problem. Twice in a row now, I have been forced to pick the best of the worst for a President. Won one and lost one. And I will never apologize for voting against Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, and I would do it over again.
Hillary Clinton is not even on the radar as an acceptable candidate for anything down to dog catcher and Joe Biden is no longer thinking wise (Goggle friendly) with us. He is simply a puppet who is having his strings pulled and is totally unfit for the job.
So I will await your explanation on how Obama and Biden stuck a pin in the rear of those nations that were not keeping up their obligations to NATO as Trump did. Funny but NATO's head man didn't mention them. However he was grateful to Trump

All your "reply" did was gloss over the fact that all were lies, by falsely claiming one was true.
NATO "dues" are what members pay into the common fund which amounts to about 0.3% of total defense expenditures.
The 2% national targets are not dues, specifically because those funds never leave their borders, unless spent for equipment (such as Germany buying F-35's.)
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Mar 30, 2022, at 6:52 PM

Once they are pledged Water Boy, they are due. And that is what I said. Do you not understand what I said. I did not say they were dues. Learn the difference.
But in reality they are a part of the Dues Structure when they become a part of the agreed funding practice. There are many ways of establishing a dues structure. I have been a member of an industy organization that structured their dues by the number of units sold, or dollars of sales, to try and spread the cost of the organization's trade related business based on who was getting the most benefit.
And if you can get your heard wrapped around it, or not, doesn't matter Water Boy, but once the cost of membership is set based on whatever criteria, it technically is a dues structure and it doesn't really matter whether it is a handful of nations or an organization with 1000 members.
As I understand it NATO has a dues structure period. Then they have an agreed on contribution based on 2% of their nation's GDP. Tell us how that is technically not dues. if you can.
And what does it have to do with if or not the funds leave their borders, if they are required to up that amount and use it as a condition of membership.
Bottom line is this Leftau, NATO recognizes Trump's explaining the facts of life to them has Helped NATO when your assessment of the facts were that he was trying to do harm to NATO. At least the Nato leader who expressed gratitude for what Trump did is not eaten up by hate as you are.
Perhaps it is high time our country has a few more leaders who can intelligently assert themselves and get results, instead of leaders like Wimpy Joe who has to have his strings pulled and who has to have help in walking back his silly statements.

Water Boy, you are the one being intentionally ignorant. I am taking into account all of the requirements for NATO membership. You want to pick and choose. While I say all requirements for membership are in fact dues, you want to leave out a major expenditure that is rquired, and it has nothing to do with the money not leaving your shores. If those fees are only partially paid, you are in arrears and need to catch up. I have belonged to a good number of membership only organizations and I was never allowed to pick and choose only a portion of what was required of me to be a member in good standing.
All you have done is come in sling a little mud and make an accusation or two. You have made no progress in recognizing what a complete dues structure is.
Come on Leftau show us what part of a set of financial requirements or obligations for continuing as a member in good standing is not a part of the dues structure. If not, what is it? What part of the fact that financial requirements may be increased or decreased by a vote of the membership don't you understand.
Your lack of understanding is very telling on your education, which does not stop with hanging that piece of paper on your wall. It's what is between your ears that counts.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Mar 30, 2022, at 10:09 PM
It must be that since it was Trump that invented this "connection" between so-called dues and being "in arrears," you seem desperately anxious to defend his misconception.
One more time, slowly....
NATO members pay annually into its Common fund. No country is "in arrears."
NATO countries commit certain of their military units to be included as part of their contribution to NATO defense plans. They continue to fund their own military. No country is "in arrears."
Nations also agree to internal, national defense budgeting that includes the goal of 2% of GDP by 2024. This provides for a robust defense posture to include strategic reserves. Some nations meet the 2% target and have not yet done so.
Those that exceed the 2% target do not pay anything more to offset nations that do not. This "arrears" concept is Trump's "invention" but it is incorrect and doesn't. No nation is " in arrears."
There is no need for you to keep trying to defend the misconception.

You still cannot get the concept that if you are not paid up you are definitely not in good standing in any normal business dealings. I believe if you recheck that article I posted you will find that it references some of the countries starting to pay up since Trump laid out the facts for them. And it appears to me from the article NATO was grateful for Trump snapping the slack out of a few countries.
I am not defending Trump in the least. Merely getting tired of some self-righteous know it all misrepresenting what really happened and is unwilling to back off his lies.
How about you try and figure out who I am speaking of?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 12:02 AM
"...if you are not paid up..."
One last time, how can any nation be "not paid up" if the 2% target is not effective until 2024? Just because Trump misunderstood this, doesn't mean you have to.
NATO nations started "paying up" in 2014. From then to 2021 the NATO average (defense spending divided by GDP) increased by about 27%. The increase during the Trump administration was about10.1% and in the past year the average has increased by about 11%, and is now up to about 1.81%. Nations were picking up slack anyhow.
Just a couple of more things...
Of course you're defending Trump.
If you're seeking a personification of self-righteousness, try looking in a mirror.
Never claimed to "know it all" but I did spend the better part of 4 years in Germany working on NATO construction and funding issues.
Please explain what, where and how I was "misrepresenting what really happened."
Finally, and I know this will be hard for you, exactly what is it that you consider to be a lie.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 7:53 AM
Water Boy, have you been able to figure out what constitutes a Dues Structure in an Organization, Alliance, Whatever? Or, are you still struggling with your misconceptions?
Further, in the real world, when you are behind on your payments, whatever it is, just because you are given time to catch up doesn't mean you are still not behind. Try it with your home payments, your, rent, your car payments, the gas or electric bill. If you are behind you are behind. Just because the electric company has given you a second chance before you find yourself freezing or sweating in the dark, doesn't mean you are not behind. Same thing applies with dues, and if you are not paying, someone else is paying to make it possible to keep your lights on. So in the real world your whole BS treatsie about Trump being wrong is a lie.
And before you get off on a tear that I am all things Trump. You are far from on target. And for the record, I would still vote against Hillary Clinton for what she is and Joe Biden for his competence level, which could happen to any of us at this time of life.
So far as your time spent in Germany, if you learned little to nothing, what would that have to do with anything?
As a parting thought, I am with the Gentleman from NATO, thank you Donald Trump for standing on your hind legs and letting them know where the Big Bear defecates in the woods. I am not against NATO, but who needs NATO most, the United States of America or our smaller partners on the front lines of trouble? That one should be an easy one for you Water Boy.

Leftau, which part of the dues structure are you referring to. If it is the 2% of their GDP that you are speaking of, it is my understanding they pay that to no one but spend it on defense work. Is your understanding different?
It further was decided in 2014 they would all meet this committment within a 10 year framework with the deadline being 2024. It is obvious we are 80% into meeting that committment and we have countries who are less than 50% in meeting their goal with less than 20% of the time left to do so. I think a reasonable assumption would be that they are at the very best, behind in meeting their committment. What do you think is reasonable Water Boy?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 12:56 PM
Excellent information, you should pay attention to it.
The unanswered question to you remains...
What country is behind in its payments?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 12:56 PM
"...behind in meeting their commitment..."
Whether you consider them to be behind is irrelevant. They are in fact, not behind, simply as it is not yet 2024.
Since that's the case, all of the 6 quotes (Mar 30, 2022, at 12:18 PM) from Trump are not true, as you now know.

Water Boy. I would consider any Country who has not yet reached 80% of their commitment to spend 2% of their GDP on defense to be behind what is expected of them. Meaning they are not going to be able to help properly defend themselves as well as another nation in need.
Now a question for you big boy. How do you figure if they are on schedule to meeting their committment?

Carry that Democratic water, Water Boy. Meantime I will fill you in with a few facts.
You and the rest of the skunks in your party have been on Trump's case since the day in Nov of 2016 when he defeated Hillary Clinton. You wasted 4 years of investigating and impeaching all for nothing. You lost every round.
When are you going to grow up and get over it?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 1:57 PM
There is no schedule required nor any "build-up. The target is to be at 2% by 2024. That is what you and Trump have never figured out.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 2:10 PM
"Meantime I will fill you in with a few facts."
Those are not facts. I was over Clinton losing the day after the election. Trump was in fact impeached twice and was voted guilty twice by a bi-partisan group of Senators. It is also a fact that their numbers did not reach the level required for removal (which is probably regretted now by numerous of them.)
As long as republicans have not recognized the damage Trump in the White House would cause, there's nothing to get over.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 2:18 PM
Ok Water Boy, it appears you are saying that it was not NATO's intention for the various member counties to start arming themselves and be at a minimum of 2% GDP in 10 years. Further that you are in compliance if you do not spend a penny for defense until 2014 so long as you shell out 2% of GDP in 9 years and 364 days.
It is my contention that even you are not that damed less smart (Goggle Approved)!
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 2:27 PM

One more time, even more slowly....
"NATO members pay annually into its Common fund. No country is "in arrears."
"NATO countries commit certain of their military units to be included as part of their contribution to NATO defense plans. They continue to fund their own military. No country is "in arrears."
The individual member nations pay for their own military units that are committed to NATO contingencies. The funds that pay for those NATO committed are part of the 2%.
You saying they "...are in compliance if you do not spend a penny for defense until 2014..." is just one more thing you and Trump fail to understand.
As part of being a NATO member, those nations maintain their military forces and fund them.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 2:41 PM

"The individual member nations pay for their own military units that are committed to NATO contingencies. The funds that pay for those NATO committed are part of the 2%."
So when they are not meeting their 2% they are not meeting their committment.
Yes I know they have until 2024 to meet the 2%. However some nations are 80% into the committment timewise and less than 50% into the money committment.
In the spirit of the agreement, are they in compliance Water Boy. Try to forget Trump was ever involved when you answer the question. If you can or will?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 3:27 PM
Their commitment is for the funding, establishment and maintenance of specified military units, not for a given dollar amount.
If their NATO committed forces remain combat ready and meet the 2024 target, then they're in compliance.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 4:18 PM
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 4:18 PM
Water Boy, you have already stated their goal is 2% of their GDP.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Mar 31, 2022, at 5:18 PM
"...their goal is 2% of their GDP."
It is good that you now realize that it's always been only a target set for 2024.
And the funding for a member nations armed forces committed to NATO make up all or part of that 2%. Nations can also maintain forces that are not committed to NATO but the costs of those forces also count toward the 2% goal.
So the criteria for continued membership is to pay into the common fund (ref your link), maintain NATO committed combat ready units, and reach the 2% target by 2024.
The basic purpose of the 2% target is to promote and advance force modernization, and it has worked. For example Germany is planning to buy F -35's.
There is no requirement to "pay back" NATO or any other country for years of being below 2%.. Therefore this claim by Trump is totally wrong...
“…many countries [in NATO] owe us a tremendous amount of money for many years back, where they’re delinquent…”
With comments like this, it is no wonder NATO had no respect for Trump.

Trump surrendered unconditionally to the Taliban while throwing the Afghan government under the bus.
The equipment had been turned over to the Afghan government who lost it to the Taliban.
"...let Putin rain fire on Ukraine NATO countries realized he’s of no help."

But anyway, wife and I decided to tour what amounts to City Hall. We were confronted by a Gentleman who inquired as to what we thought we were doing in wandering around by ourselves. I explained the name and the possible family connection and we wanted to see their city hall. He explained to me that was not permitted and we had to have guidance. But he was the Burgermeister and had a few minutes so he would give us a tour. And he did along with some history of his city!

Mr. VanGennip,
Sorry that you’ve a few bad days…
It’s easy to detect because when you’ve “lost” you launch into various diversions and distractions, throw petty insults, make childish claims, etc.
Trump’s misconceptions and lies have been exposed, but at least you have a clearer picture on how NATO operates, even though it meant you had to concede that Trump was wrong.
As for Secretary-General Stoltenberg “praising” Trump, you think maybe that he and other world leaders realize that the way to get around Trump’s “road blocks” is to toss him a few compliments to quiet him.
By the way, you and the rest of the SO conservatives have been on Biden’s case since the day in November 2020 when he thrashed Trump.
When are you going to grow up and get over it?

Guess the Water Boy has run out of excuses for the miserable performance of his President. You know, the one he was touting as having saved the world from Trump.
Just curious, any of you Democrats missing Trump yet?
For all of his behaviour and Tweets, he stood head and shoulders above Biden as an administrator and Presidential Material altogether.
If the election was truly honest, some think it was and others think it was not, but if it was, Democrats you owe America an apology. You messed up big time.
Would you make the same mistake if you had it to do over. From the polls it looks as if you would not. At least that is to your credit.
"Donald Trump has sensationally asked Vladimir Putin to help him dig up dirt on President Joe Biden and his family. Trump's shocking request to the Russian president comes less than one month after he spoke at a Republican fundraiser in New Orleans and suggested putting Chinese flags on US fighter jets and sending them to "bomb the [expletive] out of Russia," adding, "And then we say, China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch." In an interview on Just The News that aired on Tuesday, March 29th, Trump can be seen and heard asking Putin to give him any potentially damaging information he has on the reports that suggest that Elena Baturina, the wife of Moscow’s former mayor, gave $3.5 million to a company co-founded by Biden's son, Hunter, now 52, over a decade ago. Biden’s lawyer, however, has insisted that he did not co-found the company that received the $3.5 million, and has denied that the president's family has any stake in it."

You seem to forget the phony report that Hillary Clinton paid for with campaign donations trying to dig up dirt on Trump. Not only that most of the stuff in the report turned out to be false. Didn't stop her and the Democrats from trying to use it though. Or have your forgotten the 4 years of investigations, lies and harrassment that got started with that report, terminating with impeachment fostered by more lies from folks like Adam Schiff from California. All of which the Democrats ended up losing every issue they brought up. And tell us again like you did the other day that Trump was convicted in the impeachment trials they just couldn't come up with enough votes to make it stick.

This particular episode started with Ukraine war coverage and a few other national news bits but soon deteriorated into what can only be called pure propaganda. Hardcore leftist propaganda.
Still not sure if MSNBC pushes this as their 6 PM “news”. If it is I can understand why the few that watch(looked up the falling ratings) this failure are the way they are. I could try to describe it but someone beat me to it:

Stand up for your country, screw your party, they are not what matters!
I am Conservative and I believe in true Conservative values. I further believe Socialism and the resulting follow up Communism is the worst thing that could happen to America. We have seen it come to front and center in many places, not one where it has succeeded! Why do you think we should try it here. Take a look at Venzuela, a rich country before the Commies took over. Now they are eating out of garbage cans. A real success story.... right??
But the Far Leftwing Democrats think they are smarter, they can make it work. Do you really believe them? How about you Leftau, do you think it will work?
We had Totalitarian Rule in America with the King that we threw out back about 1776, why do we want a repeat of that?
Only worse!!!

Water Boy, I don't know where you get either of the two opinions you express in that one short sentence.
First, how do you know if Liz Cheney's believes in true Conservartive values when you wouldn't know what true Conservative Values are if they bit you in the ***.
Second, I don't seem to anything. I will be sure to let you know if I am condemning anyone Water Boy.
Next, when will you wise up Water Boy and get it through your thick skull that you aren't savy enough to put words in my mouth and get away with it. Only I speak for me, myself and I. I don't need any help from less than brilliant folks.

Mr. VanGennip,
There's no way of knowing what your true conservative values are, but I know what my American values are:
A strong national defense.
Smaller government with a balanced budget.
Human rights and dignity.
Individual freedom within Constitutional rule of law.
Capitalism with rational constraints.

What I have said, maybe not exact words, I don't take orders from those not my superiors. Now let me explain as simple as I can in words you might understand. That has nothing to do with brilliance. It has to do with Position or Stature in the chain of command, as in an Employer to an Employee. Or maybe as in a General to a Private. If you think it has to do with intelligence and the shoe fits I suppose the only thing I can say is..... wear it.
But it has never been used in that context by me. And I will continue to refuse to take orders frome those not my Superiors, Bosses or whatever you may want to call those on a level with or lower in the chain of command than I am.
Is that simple enough Water Boy?

More bad news for Trump fans....
Another Trump hate rally: The threats get worse, and polite America turns away (msn.com)
“The American news media has collectively decided to ignore Donald Trump's threats of white supremacist violence and sedition. If you believe this will keep you safe from his schemes and machinations, or from what his legions of followers may do, you are greatly mistaken.
“Apparently, the gatekeepers of the approved public discourse have convinced themselves that they are somehow serving the public interest by ignoring these escalating threats. In reality, these gatekeepers are doing exactly the opposite: They are normalizing American fascism by minimizing its dangers. In a moment when the news media as an institution should sound the alarm even more loudly about the threat to American democracy, safety and security represented by Trumpism and neofascism a choice has been made to mock or whitewash the imminent danger.
“One does not ignore an arsonist in the hope that he will stop burning down buildings; the same logic should apply to political arsonists as well.
“Did you know that last Saturday Donald Trump held a political hate rally in Selma, North Carolina? If you follow the mainstream news media, the answer is likely no. Here is what you missed. As he has done repeatedly, Donald Trump summoned up the demons of Jim Crow and the Confederacy. He may try to hide his hatred and bigotry by sharing a stage with Black and brown people, and he may disingenuously employ the language of the civil rights movement, but Donald Trump is at his core a white supremacist and racial authoritarian.
“Donald Trump remains the de facto leader of the Republican Party. He won almost 75 million votes in 2020 — significantly more than in 2016 — because Republican voters enthusiastically agree with him and what he represents. His values are their values. Trumpism and neofascism more generally are both a symptom and a cause of an American political culture and society that is deeply sick with multiple ailments: racism and misogyny, cruelty and greed, anti-LGBTQ bigotry, religious fundamentalism, anti-intellectualism, an obsession with violence and other antisocial and anti-human values.”

Leftau what I see here is some more of your half baked attempts to discredit Trump. Hate is definitely more powerful than love.
What is it with all of the paragraphs started with quotation marks and left open? Isn't it customary when you open with quotation marks that you close the thought with quotation marks?
Without going to look, is this all from msn? If so why any quotation marks?
As a bit of information for you Water Boy, Trumps is not the issue or the problem. The problem is sitting in the Oval Office and it is definitely a serious issue.
You seem to work on the assumption that the only way to defend the incompetence in Washington is to try and call attention to a man who is out of office and is not the issue at all.
While I, and others like me, will share in the results of this current mess in Washington and it's failures, I refuse to be blamed for being it's cause. I did not vote for Joe Biden because it was obvious he was not qualified to be President and would vote against him again.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Apr 13, 2022, at 5:37 PM
A series of quoted paragraphs needs only a quote mark a the start of each paragraph and the end of the last. Aren't you glad that you get to learn new things so frequently.
The only thing you could be blamed for is voting for Trump twice, since it was obvious he was not qualified to be president, especially after his first term.
You're clearly victim of the "fool me twice, shame on me" saying.
As so many times before, the "hatred" is only in your mind. Continuing to post the truth about him is just my part to ensure he never gets near the White House again.

"Quotation mark
Punctuation Mark
Quotation marks are punctuation marks used in pairs in various writing systems to set off direct speech, a quotation, or a phrase. The pair consists of an opening quotation mark and a closing quotation mark, which may or may not be the same character."

This is the way I was taught Water Boy. The key word being pairs. Maybe I am wrong, I certainly am no College English Major! Perhaps those Nuns who were trying to teach me punctuation and diagraming sentences didn't know what they were talking about.

How about we start here Water Boy?
"Use of Quotation Marks (“ “)
By Bizhan Romani
January 24, 2020
Quotation marks, most commonly known as inverted commas, quotes, quote marks, or speech marks, are punctuation marks that are always used in pairs, especially when a direct speech has to be presented, or a quotation has to be mentioned, or a phrase needs to be used."
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Apr 13, 2022, at 9:36 PM
The Nuns were right about quotes being used in pairs. In my quotation the opening mark preceded "The American..." and the closing quotation mark followed "...anti-human values." That's the pair setting apart and identifying the entire quotation.
Perhaps you were absent on the day they added the rule that intermediate paragraphs require only the initial mark before the first word in each. That identifies it as a continuous quotation from the same source.
You're welcome.

No Water Boy, Trump was not incompetent, you have him mistaken with Biden.
Loud and Obnoxious a lot of the time, which seems to originate a lot in Northern Cities, yes but incompetent not a chance. Looking at Biden's popularity I think you can see who the public thinks is incompetent.
I and I think most were better off under Trump than they are under Biden. Our buying power is eroding at a pace not seen in 40 years, tell me that makes us better off than we were under Trump. Our shelves are empty and covid is not the only fault there either. I thank God every day that I listened to competent advice on investing as I went so I did not have to depend on Social Insecurity, once I retired.

Speak of buying power... I have had two emails in recent weeks from the dealer I purchased the car from, that I drive currently. I don't put a lot of miles on my cars and I do not trade often. I drive a 2016 model and have owned it since it was 1 year old. And they are telling me if I will sell it back it is likely I will get as much or more than I paid for the car. And yes, I always try to buy a 1 year old car. I do not buy new in most cases. And no I have not contacted the dealer to sell it back. I still need something to drive and am highly satisfied with what I currently have.

Mr. Braswell,
"Same thing goes for CRT and the sex Ed bills." and "...then why all the protests against banning it?"
Since it's not being taught, "banning it" is only a politically motivated contribution to the republican culture war.
In order to "ban something," they first have to invent that issue, then claim it's being taught to their children.
You probably recall your "great question lady" and what she claimed CRT was.
She thought that schools were “…teaching black kids through CRT that they will never be successful in this country based on the color of their skin.”
Surely even you don’t believe that to be true.

Shades of Jimmy Carter.
Wait until the rules come out that tell you when and if you can give an employee a pay increase. You had to get creative to be able to treat employees needs for pay increases. You see Leftau, I was signing the fronts of paychecks in those days and I definitely remember the hard times inflation caused. Cannot remember the exact year but things were so bad, I took no salary for the year, living off savings and the company still lost 25 grand. Had it not been for some good years and planning I would have perished.
The Trump years were bonus years compared to that Leftau and if you had been doing anything but drawing a paycheck yourself during those times of the Carter inflation, you would have a better understanding of it. Business's paying 18% to 20% interest to borrow operating capital.

Leftau when it comes to teaching in schools, my kids went to a parochial school through high school, so I was not familiar with the public schools. However I put two daughters through college and I can tell you thought control was on the agenda with some professors at that level. Fortunately my daughters followed my advice on their being introduced to college. That was get an education and retain your common sense. And they listened.
And there is too much smoke about the CRT and the multi gender BS being taught in our schools not to have it happening. And for your information people on the Conservative side of civilization have every much a right to have a say in their children's education as Leftists do. Kapeesh?

Adolph Hitler used the schools to brain wash children and turn them against their parents.
It is every American's responsibility to see that does not happen in our Country.
And Letau, if or not you want to accept it, it is the responsibility of parents to know what is being taught their children. The schools have one legitmate function and that is to teach our children the basics they need to deal with living and being able to fend for themselves.
Brain washing and indocrination has no place in our school system.

"You probably recall your "great question lady" and what she claimed CRT was.
She thought that schools were “…teaching black kids through CRT that they will never be successful in this country based on the color of their skin.”"
Leftau you have stated something to this effect before. Just who are you talking about and when was the occassion?
You are full of insinuations and short on any kind of documentation.

“Good Friday is a day when Christians remember Jesus Christ’s death on the cross — his execution upon an instrument of state torture.
“It is also a powerful reminder of how dangerous it is for society when authoritarian politicians and corrupt religious leaders conspire for power and dominion.
“Good Friday’s warning resonates deeply even now, nearly 2,000 years after Jesus’ death. That’s because the relationship between the religious authorities of Christ’s time and the brutal Roman governor who ordered his execution, Pontius Pilate, is little different from the Christian nationalist bond that exists between today’s Republican Party and conservative American Christianity.
“Regional Roman dictators like Pilate relied on local religious elites to help them build power by keeping order within their jurisdictions. In exchange, the religious leaders were allowed to keep power and status. Everybody benefitted — except for critics like Jesus, the poor, and the oppressed.
“Two millennia later, modern Republican politicians like Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., use conservative evangelical and Roman Catholic leaders in a similar fashion, repeatedly citing their faith, sharing their national spotlight and promising businesses the “religious freedom” to practice harmful discrimination.
“Eager to bask in the political glory, far too many pastors and priests lap it up, indoctrinating their followers with the ideology of Christian nationalism: the false ideas that America is a Christian nation, and that there is no difference between one’s conservative Christian identity and one’s national identity.”
Also…
“Jesus didn’t fall for it, but the MAGA movement’s politicians and pastors most certainly have.”

Leftau not sure I know where that notion comes from.
I have always been of the opinion from what I read of history and been taught, is that America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and was a melting pot of people from many walks of life. Plus the fact that we have the right to worship as we please.
I believe trying to drag the Crucifiction of Jesus Christ into the idea that the Leftists/Liberals of America America are so righteous is a travisity in itself. Don't forget, yours is the party of abortion and baby killing.

Trump, Allies 'Inarguably Committed' Crimes With Jan. 6 'Coup': Kirschner
BY JASON LEMON ON 4/16/22 AT 5:11 PM EDT
“Former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner contended on Saturday that former President Donald Trump and his allies "inarguably committed" crimes in what he described as their effort to carry out a "coup" by attempting to overturn President Joe Biden's election win.
“Trump and a number of his allies have openly discussed their efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, claiming that Biden won due to widespread voter fraud. This conspiracy theory has been discredited and debunked by Republican and Democratic election officials and experts. No evidence has come to light corroborating the allegations.
“Kirschner, who now works as a legal analyst for MSNBC and NBC News, has previously called for the Justice Department to indict Trump in connection to his efforts to overturn the election, as well as for inciting the January 6, 2021 attack against the U.S. Capitol. Hundreds of the former president's supporters attacked the federal legislative branch of government that day in an apparent effort to disrupt the formal certification of Biden's win. The assault took place directly after Trump told them to walk to the Capitol and "fight like hell" after months of spreading misinformation about the election results.”

Our problem is not Donald Trump who has been out of office 1 year and 3 days short of 3 months.
Our problem is Slow Joe Biden who is unfit for the office of President of the United States of America.
References to the former President at this point are nothing but an exercise in trying to drag a herring actoss the trail of incompetence.

As pointed out over and over again. Trump's incompetence as President is already historically recorded.
What's still in play is Trumpism and his senseless threat to run again.
The sooner real republican/conservatives put him out to pasture or in jail, the better off our nation will be.

Water Boy, it's a little tough to try and pinpoint your problem where Trump is concerned.
I think it oscillates somewhere between Deep Hatred and Obsession.
Where I think your real problem lies is with the Democratic Party. If they could simply nominate someone to run for President who was competent to be President. They nominate Hillary Clinton who is, if not the dirtiest person they could find, she was next to it, then they decide to nominate Biden for likeablility and they thought he could win, governing had nothing to do with it.
You may take this any way you like and it has nothing to do with any "ism" you may try to interject into the mix.
Personalities aside, when it came to governing, in the last two elections you Democrats left people no choice. However Biden won had nothing to do with his ability to be President. Trump had made enemies and so the Democrats run good old likeable Joe, a man that stumbled through the campaign from not being able to know the difference between his wife and his sister and numerous other ridiculous scenarioes Now he is President in name only, proof how he was treated just recently in the photo ops when he was wandering around like a lost soul.
You got your way Water Boy, he is in title only President, the country is being run by non-elected individuals. And look at his favorability ratings. Even Democrats privately acknowledge the mistake that sits in the oval office. How do you think history will be written on this non funny joke?
To add to the problem, follow the chain of command, we have Hyena Harris and then Fancy Nancy to fall back on. Just how wonderful is that?
What has Biden accomplished so far, other than to pull off the biggest racial and gender issue in the history of the country by stating and then following through with nominating a Supreme Court Justice based on Sex and Color. Nominating the best was secondary. One has to only go back a short time in history to see how contradictory this is for the Democratic Party and you see how Clarence Thomas was treated during his hearings.. Oh I forgot he was not a Democratic pick.

"What's still in play is Trumpism and his senseless threat to run again."
What just occurred to me Water Boy.....
What if it isn't a threat but a promise?
Who do you think the Democrats will pick to run against him, just because they are likeable? Old Slow Joe doesn't appear to be all that likeable this time around from the poll ratings he is carrying.
Naybe they will pick Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck! They are pretty likeable country wide and ulitmately carry about the same amount of competence as Slow Joe to do the job if elected.

Water Boy, you are a slow learner. How many times do I have to tell you to not try to put words in my mouth or read into something, that which I did not say. How long will it take for you to learn that you are not smart enough to get away with it.
Nowhere did I comment on Trump's nomination or even running for the nomination other than to correct your errors.
This is what you posted and my response....
""What's still in play is Trumpism and his senseless threat to run again."
What just occurred to me Water Boy.....

Nowhere in there did I say I supported or discouraged his sticking his foot in. Nowhere did I say he was the best candidate for the 2024 nomination. I will wait to see who's name is in the running if I comment at all.
Am I the only one who can see Leftau's attempt to put words in my mouth or maybe I should say at my fingertips.
You may put this in your pipe and smoke it though Water Boy.... If the Democrats run Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, it is a cinch I will support whomever the Republicans nominate as I would never vote for Hillary Clinton because she is corrupt and Joe Biden, I cannot vote for a person who's mental ability is reduced to the level his is. This is the Precidency of the United States not a popularity contest.

"At the same time, there are younger, equally qualified candidates available to continue moving the party forward."
There we have it "party", which puts the well being of the country secondary.
My answer would be no not the best possible candidate the Republicans have to offer, but head and shoulders above Hillary Clinton and/or Joe Biden. I look at the good of our country first and party second.
Tour self indictment in your statement shows where your loyalty laws, party first, nation second.
In 2016 the Republicans had 14 candidates going for the nomination. Out of those 14, I would have placed all of them over Hillary Clinton as being better for our country.
Trump's problem.was his mouth, but he was best suited for the job in 2016 and 2020.
The Presidential election is about the good of country not party.

The individual you voted for twice has done more damage to America than any president since the 19th century.
You could be excused for voting for Trump once, but voting for Trump a second time, is clearly putting party over country. Worse yet is that Trump is totally divorced from the real republican party.

More contributions to your educational shortcomings.
“The 2021–2022 inflation surge is the higher-than-average economic inflation throughout much of the world that began in early 2021. It has been attributed to the 2021 global supply chain crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and unexpected demands for certain goods.”
“Inflation has been rising since November 2020, largely due to the reopening of the economy – which led to greater consumer demand, plus supply chain constraints. In June and again in July, the consumer price index or CPI rose by 5.3% on a year-over-year basis, marking the largest such increase since July 2008. You would have to go back to February 1991 to find a larger increase. Despite the Fed suggesting this round of inflation will be transitory, some experts believe otherwise. While we cannot know with certainty how high inflation will rise or how long it will persist, there are a few clues we can turn to. Perhaps the most telling is the producer price index or PPI.
The producer price index measures the change in prices for goods and services at the producer level. When a company has to pay more to produce their products, they will often pass these higher costs onto the consumer. Price changes at the consumer level are reflected in the consumer price index. The following graph shows the year-over-year percentage change in PPI and CPI from November 2010 through July 2021. In July 2021, prices at the producer level (PPI) rose 7.7% year-over-year while consumer prices (CPI) rose 5.3%. At the far right of the chart, notice how PPI (black line) has been rising faster than CPI (blue line) since January, suggesting higher prices at the consumer level are inevitable. Why has PPI spiked? It’s about supply and demand.”

What were Donald Trump’s mistakes as the United States of America's president?
Randy Weir, Updated Dec 15
“1. The trade war. It killed 300,000 manufacturing jobs before the pandemic as American businesses closed or moved overseas because of his tariffs. It also bankrupted American farmers as Russia supplanted the US as the top importer of soy into China. The tariffs and the difficulty they created in importing crucial components is also part of the reason we have shortages and inflation now.
“2. His tax bill. It took him almost a year to get his own party to pass this one, and it did not have a good effect. Before the tax bill going back to Obama’s recovery act, the Dow was growing at an average of over 16% annually and unemployment dropped by an average of .75% annually. In the two years after the bill was signed, the Dow grew a total of 13% (less than 6% annually) and unemployment dropped a total of only .53%.
“3. Dismantling our pandemic response team. Trump immediately made cuts to the agencies responsible for dealing with a viral outbreak, despite being told that such an outbreak was the number one threat to our national security. He also removed key people from key positions and saw others resign from key positions and left those posts vacant.
“4. The wall. How ridiculous was this? He wasted billions, distracted the conversation from the actual causes of illegal immigration and from sensible measures to control the border, and he shut down the government for the longest period of time in history because his own party wouldn’t fund it. He diverted money from national defense and military families to build tiny portions of the wall, many of which have already fallen to disrepair. And truth be told this campaign is probably what cost his own party the House in 2018 as Democrats won every Congressional district on the southern border but one—and that one was won by a Republican who campaigned on opposing the wall.
“5. Ignoring Covid. Trump spent 23 of the first 69 days of 2020 on vacation, all the while downplaying the threat of the virus. His inaction made it impossible for us to have a coordinated national response that could have helped contain the virus. On top of that, he politicized the virus by attacking anyone who criticized his lack of action. Then he doubled down on that mistake and went after anyone who took common sense action to slow the spread.
“6. Abusing his office for personal gain. All Trump had to do to be a successful President was to hire competent people and to let them do their jobs. Instead he filled posts with campaign donors, his unqualified children, and sycophants who wanted to destroy the agencies they were in charge of. For Trump “running the country like a business” meant manipulating the system so he turned a profit while his investors and customers lost everything. And we were the investors and the customers this time. With the nonstop corruption of his administration, he opened himself up to investigations, impeachments, and possible criminal charges after he left office, and he guaranteed he would lose his re-election bid, and that he’d take his party down with him.
“7. Separating children from their parents and then losing track of them.
“8. Undermining confidence in the electoral system while attempting to stage a slow coup d’etat,”

Water Boy, inflation was not soring during Trump's administration. As much as you would like to make it so, it rests on the shoulders of your candidate for the job of being President. The guy who could cure Covid, the guy who stated that with a death rate like we had in 2020, the President should resign. However in 2021 under your Boy's term the death rate was higher, yet he has not resigned.
And the prime reason for inflation in this country is the fact that spending money you do not have and creating more out f thin air/paper is the real reason. Every dollar in your pocket became worth less as more money was created. I was once in Dubrovnik Yugoslavia, when the rate just over 1000% and the locals would run out and put their paychecks into groceries and other staples that was needed or they could buy less of them tomorrow.
Nice try Lefty but Joseph Biden is President not Donald Trump. He had all of the answers, he said so, and you said so. You own the problem, we just have to live with it.

As usual your conclusions are based on your confusion and grounded only in right wing rants and talking points.
In 2017, the Trump administration created, by borrowing, a few trillion dollars, out of thin air for their giveaway to the top 5%. Clearly, this is not how inflation comes into play. Trump increased the deficit by trillions, but it was in itself, not inflationary.
Go back a few paragraphs and you'll find accurate information.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Apr 19, 2022, at 5:52 PM
Also to clear up more of your "mixfusion" (Thanks Rick S.)...
In 2020 the death rate was driven by the administration's inability to manage various mitigating measures. Covid-19 denial contributed directly to killing people.
In 2021, the pandemic became one of the unvaccinated. Shots were available to all, and getting vaccinated was strongly pushed by the administration.
That's the difference. Need more facts?

The Water Boy likes to accuse everybody of being confused, but he apparently thinks Trump is still President.
Inflation was next to nothing under Trump and in comes Biden, now it is highest in 40 years I have read somewhere and The Water Boy is trying to blame Trump for it, although Biden has been President for ! year and a day short of 3 months.
When do you start crediting Biding for his mistakes and start rememebering Trump is no longer President.
Biden is President Leftau and made a ton of mistakes, and you say there is plenty more just like him in the Democratic Party.
How wonderful is that?

No one told Trump and he didn't care anyhow. Is borrowing money to offset tax cuts your idea of a smart thing to do? Seems Trump did.

"As usual, Mr. VanGennip, you just continue to make up stories to fit your favorite narrative."
You made the charge Water Boy. I invite you to explain what you are talking about. I don't make up stories. I just point out made up stories.
Let's start with the pandemic of the unvacinated story you made up out of thin air. There is no such thing. Vacinated folks were getting the newer strains of the virus as well as were unvaccinated folks.
I can appreciate people's concern for a new rapidly developed vaccine. I had them myself but took the shots anyway. But I see no way I have a right to demand of others what they do with their bodies. That is Democratic territory as they appear to like to dictate to people what they can and cannot do.

I think I understand spending and increasing or decreasing overhead as well as you do Water Boy, I spent 37 years developing and operating a successful business before one of my children and spouse operated it another 18 years before selling it three years ago.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's take taxes, there have been cases where decreasing the rate actually increase the amount of taxes collected if it will induce a surge in new business. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not.
So now would you explain why Biden would increase spending without a tax increase. Spemding that did little to increase the chances of an increase in revenue. Now he wants to increase taxes to pay for his vote buying, will kill business and follow that with a loss of jobs creating a need toprint some more money to cover the outgo, along with the borrowing and increasing the national debt.
The Democrat answer is always trying to spend our way out of a hole and into prosperity. Let me tell you it won't work with business unless the spending increases business and therefore income. Nor will borrowining your way out of debt be successful.

Since you brought up fables….
Fable # 1 --- Vaccinated folks were getting the newer strains of the virus as well as were unvaccinated folks.”
That is not the case. The unvaccinated represent well over 80% of the cases, as well as close to almost all of the deaths. Vaccinated folks do get some of the newer strains, but the disease is milder and seldom requires hospitalization.
It’s a pandemic that’s killed about a million Americans. What others “… do with their bodies…” remains their right, but they do not have a right to spread disease throughout communities and cities. They can be tested, remain isolated, and utilize available mitigation practices. Protecting the general population through public health restrictions is not “dictating” to people.
Fable # 2 --- “…decreasing the rate actually increase the amount of taxes collected…”
It didn’t work for Trump and it didn’t work for Bush. Both tried “vote buying” tax cuts with the promise of greater tax income. It didn’t, rather it simply ballooned the deficit, ending up with more borrowing.
Fable # 3 --- “…Biden would increase spending without a tax increase.”
A large part of the spending was to assist individuals and small business to make it through the Covid pandemic. Tax increases for those with incomes over $400,000 is included in the recovery plan.
Fable # 4 --- “…letting people keep what they earn is giving them nothing.”
You might of ignored Trump when he announced at Mar a Lago, “I just made you all a lot richer.” The dollars that made them and himself “richer” were intended to fund portions of government activities, we had to borrow more money to pay for the spending he refused to cut.
Fable # 5 --- “…the prime reason for inflation in this country is [the fact that] spending money you do not have…”
Were that true, Trump would have caused massive inflation following his 2017 giveaway. In actuality, (and someone with 37 years of successful business experience should already know this) massive imbalances between supply and demand cause inflationary price increases. The most obvious, recent example is the major reduction in demand for oil during the pandemic, followed by a major increase in demand, which the supply could not satisfy.
Any more of your fables that need to be refuted?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Apr 20, 2022, at 8:00 AM
"massive imbalances between supply and demand cause inflationary price increases."
Imbalances in many cases because workers are sitting on their brains drawing unemployment while jobs go begging.
More BS...
"Were that true, Trump would have caused massive inflation following his 2017 giveaway."
But it did not. Reason being it allowed the job makers to grow their businesses and hire people who were not permitted to sit on their brains and draw unemployment while jobs were available.
Your way of thinking and mine Leftau is the difference between Capitalism and Communism.
Capitalism grows a country. Communism enslaves a country.

an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state:
***********************************
com·mu·nism
[ˈkämyəˌnizəm]
NOUN
a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. See also Marxism.〔The most familiar form of communism is that established by the Bolsheviks after the Russian Revolution of 1917, and it has generally been understood in terms of the system practiced by the former Soviet Union and its allies in eastern Europe, in China since 1949, and in some developing countries such as Cuba, Vietnam, and North Korea. Communism embraced a revolutionary ideology in which the state would wither away after the overthrow of the capitalist system. In practice, however, the state grew to control all aspects of communist society. Communism in eastern Europe collapsed in the late 1980s and early 1990s against a background of failure to meet people's economic expectations, a shift to more democracy in political life, and increasing nationalism such as that which led to the breakup of the Soviet Union.〕

“Here in America, commentators have expressed disbelief — sometimes marked by a tinge of superiority — that the Russian people are buying it. This demonstrates remarkably little self-awareness given our own ongoing vulnerability to bad information.

Yes I did, Water Boy. What I saw was a great number of peaceful citizen milling around as should be their right since this is supposed to be the people's city. And yes I know there were some crazies in the crowd that got out of hand as there generally is in nearly every crowd, but it is not an indictment for those who were peacefully assembled.
And slowly but surely those few are being held accountable.
Now can you say the same thing for those who generally support Democrats and their taking over and holding a city hostage for months?
Or do you think only Republican Supporters should be held for their actions when they go over the line?
A simple yes or no answer will do. Do you believe only Republicans should be held accountable if they cross the line?
Be careful how you answer that as you seem to make a tool of ourself with your explainations for your response. As in this Party First Country Second explanation of yours that follows....

No Water Boy, it is putting party first to get in the Oval Office when the qualifications for running the country are not there as has been show this past 1 year and 3 months as of today.
Your reasoning wouldn't past an 8th grade civics test.
What it really was is this.
The democrats finally after 4 years of investigating and litigating as in impeachments were able to get even with Donald Trump for defeating Hillary Clinton.
The Presidential Election is not a popularity contest. It is putting your best suited man/woman on the ticket to run the business of the people of this country.
The Democrats failed woefully in that responsibility, they nominated a man who could win on popularity and pity and look at the mess we have now.
Had the Democrats put the amount of time and money into bettering this country instead of wasting it on going after Trump from the day after the November 2016 election this country would be way better off.
You Democrats made the 2020 election a popularity contest and the needs of the country be damned. You won, you are responsible for the mess the most popular candidate made of it since his inauguration on January 20, 2021. Own it!!

I would not vote for Hillary Clinton if Minnie Mouse was running and while I have no personal feelings towards Joe Biden it was obvious way before voting day that he was no longer mentally a part of the thinking Americans. All of the mistakes he has made while governing were not his fault, they were the fault of those who put him on the ballot and those who voted for him. The man belongs in Memory Care.
Joe Biden does have one fault that is no one eles's problem but his own. and that is that crooked son of his who he has personally profited from. You know, the 10% for the big guy thing.

Mr. VanGennip,
“And I differ with you.”
In reality you don’t. Having educated myself, I was fully cognizant of Trump’s failings, flaws and weaknesses prior to the 2016 election. In paying excessive attention to republican “anti-Clinton” propaganda, perhaps you missed Trump’s dishonesty, his Hollywood access tapes, his narcissistic ego, his blatant ignorance of simple facts of government, and his management incompetence. Being a real estate broker and a game show host hardly qualify one for the presidency.
You can call that “personal bias” if you prefer, but it’s grounded in his demonstrated ineffectiveness and ineptitude. You can also call it “hatred,” but you’re just a wrong about that as you were the first time you invented that claim.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…NOT founded on the principle of Dictatorial Government…”
More “mixfusion” on your part. What do public health rules to counter a pandemic that’s killed close to a million Americans, have to do with Constitutional protections of individual rights.
The “meltdown” exhibited by the republicans/conservatives against commonsense public health protocols, procedures and requirements is nothing short of irrational senselessness.
If those individuals advocating and championing “anti-vaccing” and “anti-masking” were to become the only victims dying of Covid-19, it could be somewhat understandable, but that’s not the case. Illogical resistance to vaccinations, masking and other mitigation methods is what allows the disease to spread, infect others, and result in more contagious variants.
It is only in the past 6 years that something as obvious as an effective public health measure can “morph” into a political culture war.

No confusion on my part whatsoever. And it appears the Judge agrees with me. We have a Constitutional form of government with three branches. Nowhere does it say the Executive Branch has dictatorial powers. Congress makes the laws/rules and the President signs them, while the Judicial Branch decides if they are Constitutional or not.
Carrying water for the Democrats and coming up with that for the common good BS doesn't get it Water Boy. If a rule or law was needed Congress has had more than adequate time to get involved.
Power grabs by the Executive Branch should be stopped in their tracks period!
Biden issues a mandate that everybody must get a shot. You cover for him and said but they have a choice. Which makes it Biden said this or ELSE.
Our country was formed by kicking a Monarchy out. We have done quite well for ourselves without it and we don't need to reinvent our country into another Dictatorship, they all smell.
Two of our country's biggest problems were created by the sitting President and his Executive Orders. To be specifice the Southern Border Biden Mess and the Energy Dependence situation we once again find ourselves in.

Come on Water Boy, You stuck your nose in to my business and start in on who and where I get my news. So I asked you a lefitimate question.
What is your problem with answering it? Since you seem to think I don't get legitimate information, I would like to know who you think is legitimate information.
So let's share your information, or don't you know?

Water Boy, I believe I already told you where I get the information that makes up my mind. After all they are politicians you know and generally have their mouths functioning when they are interviewed.

View from Australia...
Judy Rofe, An Australian who never lost sight of the bigger picture. Mar 7
"Why is it that everything Donald Trump does seems to be in bad taste?
"I once thought American politics is too much of a circus; trump’s genius lies in realizing it wasn’t circus enough.
A thinning, comb-over, an orange fake tan, white panda eyes, ill-fitting suits, long ties held in place with tape and a barrow load of grandiosity and vaingloriousness are just bad taste.
"trump is bad taste, period. He is the king of bad taste in a country whose diehards are enchanted by bad taste. He is also shallow, insecure and garish.
"The only thing he’s ever done is work overtime in his quest to seek recognition for his accomplishments. And while his adherents laud him, he’s still a tactless, bloated loudmouth who’s unafraid to offend.
donald trump IS appalling taste."

“Former President Donald Trump again praised "smart" Russian President Vladimir Putin, who launched an invasion of Ukraine on Thursday.
"Yesterday, I was asked by reporters if I thought President Putin was smart. I said, 'of course he's smart,'" Trump told a crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday night.
"The problem is not that Putin is smart, which of course he is smart, but the real problem is that our leaders are dumb," Trump said.
“Trump has long expressed admiration for Putin, and this week described his war strategy in Ukraine as "wonderful" and "genius."
Trump again praised 'smart' Putin amid Ukraine invasion and said the US had become a 'stupid country' (yahoo.com)
----- ---- --- -- -
Consider this comparison between Putin’s goals and his results…
Putin intended for his attack to drive a wedge into and undermine NATO. What happened is President Biden was able to unite and solidify NATO.
Putin anticipated rolling into Kyiv in 2 or 3 days for his victory parade. His forces didn’t do that and were drive off by the Ukrainian army.
He wanted to demonstrate the power and effectiveness of the Red Army. The Russians failed to date, and appear to be the military version of the “gang that couldn’t shoot straight.”
Putin envisioned neighboring NATO countries to be weakened and lose confidence in the alliance. NATO is now stronger and more unified than ever.
He thought he would “scare” Europe out of NATO. Instead it appears now that Finland and Sweden are poised to join NATO.
Putin imagined that the Ukrainians would welcome Russians with bouquets of flowers. What they got were Stingers and Javilins.
He foresaw an easy victory. As of now, his Army’s death toll stands at about 20,000, including about 8 Generals and the loss of a Flagship Cruiser.
He hoped to expose NATO as a “paper tiger.” US reinforcements streamed into NATO and Germany increased it’s military budget so now it’s greater than Russia’s.
----- ---- --- -- -
Seems we now recognize both Putin and Trump as exceedingly “un-smart.”
Nothing that Putin wanted has turned out to happen.
The opposite is true.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Apr 22, 2022, at 7:46 AM
The fact that Putin ordered his forces to now bomb civilians, hospitals, schools, homes, etc, and murder civilians, makes him a war criminal, not a "genious."

Republican Kevin McCarthy under fire after audio shows he discussed urging Trump to resign
David Morgan, Fri, April 22, 2022, 9:24 AM
“WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Congressman Kevin McCarthy, the top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, came under fire from some of his fellow party members, after an audio recording showed him saying that then-President Donald Trump should resign over the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.
“But as criticism of the House minority leader mounted on Twitter, the Washington Post reported that he and Trump had spoken by phone and that the Republican former president was not upset about McCarthy's remarks. That could significantly mute the rank-and-file reaction among Trump supporters.
“The audio -- recorded days after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, delaying certification of Democrat Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory -- depicts a conversation between McCarthy and Representative Liz Cheney, who was ousted from party leadership weeks later over her opposition to Trump.
“McCarthy told Cheney he planned to call Trump to discuss a mechanism for invoking the 25th Amendment, under which then-Vice President Mike Pence and Cabinet members could have removed the president from office.
"The only discussion I would have with him is that I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign," McCarthy says in the recording, released on cable news channel MSNBC late on Thursday.
“In another audio tape, McCarthy told Republican lawmakers that Trump had admitted bearing some responsibility for the Jan. 6 attack, according to CNN.
“McCarthy's office did not respond to requests for comment on Friday. A Trump spokesman also was not immediately available.
“The first reference to his comments appeared earlier on Thursday in a New York Times article published as part of a forthcoming book by two Times reporters.”

Interesting suggestions are being proposed regarding the January 6th Commission upcoming hearings. Numerous republicans spoke out vigorously condemning Trump's involvement in the insurrection.
So far most have refused to appear in person. However, during the hearings, they could "testify" in absentia by playing visual and audio recordings of their statements.
Should they choose to appear in person, it would be perjury if they denied saying things like Trump should resign.
Will be fascinating, as McCarthy, Graham, McConnell, Cruz, Jordan, etc. try to find a way to wiggle out from under the Trump bus.

How many times is it necessary to point out there's no hatred, no obsession and certainly no fascination.
It's simply a matter of repeating the truth about his sad, incompetent performance in the Oval Office. Hopefully, there will be eventual realization by his gullible "base" that they were lied to and are still being lied to.

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Apr 24, 2022, at 9:54 AM
Water Boy reality is a great number of citizens met in DC because they had questions about the 2020 election. And they met peacefully, I saw the TV coverage. A relative few did no. I offer no excuse for that. But a report I heard from someone who immediately left with their group when they heard glass break. There were outside instigators mingled with the crowd.
I believe as much time and money should be spent investigate the 2020 election process as there was in investigating the Russian Conspiracy Hoax created by lying Democrats.
Got any problem with that Water Boy. If so state your objections or we can assume you agree.
You keep trying to lay the Jan 7 mess at the door of all Conservatives which is far from true. The relative few that created the problem are being dealt with.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Apr 24, 2022, at 11:46 AM
Mr. VanGennip,
“If so, state your objections…”
Gladly..
“…reality is a great number of citizens met in DC because they had questions about the 2020 election.”
They didn’t meet in DC because they “had questions.” They met because they had been lied to throughout the preceding year, starting with his repetition of the false contention that the only way he could lose was if it were “rigged,” and culminating in November with the big lie, alleging that the election was “stolen” from him.
They met in DC at the summons of the former president as in “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, just one of several of his tweets promoting the day. “Be there, will be wild!”
Were it not for him there would have been no January 6th “event” other than the Congressionally mandated nonviolent counting of electoral college votes.
----- ---- --- -- -
“And they met peacefully, I saw the TV coverage.”
You may have inadvertently tuned in to the Schaefer Fantasy channel. The scene at the Ellipse rally site was relatively “peaceful,” but all that changed at the Capital.
The US Capital building and grounds were closed to the public on that day, and even if the grounds were open, entry would have been through the Visitor Center. Capital Police had erected crowd control barriers around and outside of the actual structure. Any individual passed through was immediately guilty of criminal trespass.
----- ---- --- -- -
“A relative few did [not.] I offer no excuse for that.”
Of course you can’t, but you should be able to condemn the instigators. Furthermore, of the 10,000 or so people in DC for this about a quarter committed crimes.
“On January 6, 2021, a mob of 2,000–2,500 supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump attacked the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.[a][28][29] They sought to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes that would formalize President-elect Joe Biden's victory.” [2021 United States Capitol attack - Wikipedia].
Of those, about 700 or 800 have been charged and many pled guilty or been convicted. Another 800 have been picked out of videos but are still to be identified. No matter who’s counting, that’s not “a few.”
----- ---- --- -- -
“There were outside instigators mingled with the crowd.”
Right, according to the FBI, these included, “Three Percenters, The Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Texas Freedom Force, and other self-described Nazis and white supremacists…”
The attempts to tie left wing groups to the insurrection are simply bogus.

“…in investigating the Russian Conspiracy Hoax…”
There was no “hoax.” The investigation was conducted under republican leadership during a republican administration.

Were it not for him there would have been no January 6th “event” other than the Congressionally mandated nonviolent counting of electoral college votes."
Response: That is obvious, there were and still are many people who thing the election was stolen. Certainly with all of the changes in voting procedure the opportunity was there. I have never voiced an opinion other than to say that I think a thorough investigation should be conducted.
******************

"“And they met peacefully, I saw the TV coverage.”

Clearly not all, as there are conservatives on the January 6th Committee.
Response: We were talking about Jan 6th, not a current investigation into the even. My contention is, the greater number by far of the Conservatives in Washington DC on Jan 6th are not guilty.

"“….relative few that created the problem are being dealt with.”
Not yet, but when the information and valid evidence the committee has gathered comes out in hearings, they will hopefully be “dealt with.”"
Response: I repeat, I believe a thorough investigation into the entire 2020 election should be held that all Americans can be sure their vote was counted. Reassurances by election officials are not good enough. If they were cheating why would they want to admit it? We ****** away 4 years of time and treasure on investigating Russian Collusion and trying to tie it to Trump along with 3 politically instigated impeachments, all of which proved nothing and were political get evens with Trump for beating Hillary. The Democrats failed every single dirty trick they tried to pull to remove Trump before and election was held.

That all said to counter what you will try making of what I said. I did not, and I still do not approve of what was done by a "Relative Few" in comparison to all Conservatives, or even those present.
So grow up and quit trying to make a bad situation look even worse than what it was.
I personally was so involved that I did not even know it was happening until it appeared on TV. Some of us have a life and problems unrelated to government and politics. I try to educate myself on who is running and vote accordingly. And facts are, the opponent will have to be pretty bad before I choose a Hillary Clinton as President, or someone in the mental condition Joe Biden finds himself in. I care a lot more for that and do not believe as you have stated as I read it, that party comes before Country. Would you like your statement on Biden and his qualification reprinted for you. I saved it, it is a classic head in a dark spot opinion what is important when their precious political party is a part of the equation.

Your reference is almost a year old. Since then, there has been ample evidence regarding fake electors, coercion of Congress, attempts to force election officials to "find votes" as in, all I need you to do, is find me 11870 votes. (Guess who said that.)
There is no question that republicans wanted to illegally overturn a legal election. That's what an insurrection does.

"The clear objective was to successfully remove Trump from the White House. This was accomplished, confirming that Biden was best for that purpose.

PS: Water Boy, I hope you have thought out that last bit of your statement.
"At the same time, there are younger, equally qualified candidates available to continue moving the party forward."
Equally qualified.... surely you didn't mean that!!! Just thinking about Biden and his stumbling around and thinking they have a stable full of them equally qualified!!!
Good Grief Gertrude, what is to happen to us if they elect a few of them in a row!😮😮🙄

"There is no question that republicans wanted to illegally overturn a legal election. That's what an insurrection does."
Water Boy, your Democrats used lies 3 times to try and overturn a legal election. They just tried to use a legal means illegally by lying.
Elections have been overturned before for one reason or another when they thought they were done illegally. protesting an election is not overthrowing a government. Got that?

"Your reference is almost a year old. Since then, there has been ample evidence regarding fake electors, coercion of Congress, attempts to force election officials to "find votes" as in, all I need you to do, is find me 11870 votes. (Guess who said that.)"
So ot os almost a year old, but it was based on what happened on Jan 6th. What has taken place since then does not change the past. Nice try, but no cigar!!
With all of the controversey, what needs to happen is have a 4 year investigation into the election like we did the 4 years of the Trump Administration. Water Boy, your hangups are your own, get over the fact that he beat Hillary Clinton, thank God! Your obsession with the issue is unhealthy get over it or see a shrink.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Apr 27, 2022, at 4:43 PM
Sorry, Mr. VanGennip, you always seem to be a few steps behind reality.
For example...
Immediately after January 6th, McCarthy expressed his extreme displeasure with the President and was as convinced of his culpability in causing the insurrection as Cheney was and still is.
McCarthy, sadly enough, soon had second thoughts regarding his honesty, traveled to Mar a Lago to grovel, kiss Trump's ring and beg forgiveness. He also lied in denying what he had previously said.
Unfortunately, audio tapes have now been released which had recorded his condemnation of Trump. These will play a significant role in future public hearings.
Are you aware of these events?

Let's start with the one going back to before the 2020 election where you claimed Biden's superiority to Trump in ability, honesty, intelligence, etc. Don't remember the exact wording, but the last 1 year, 3 months and 8 days have totally disproved it.
I will keep reminding you as you make unsupported and undocumented statements along the way. Mornings are busy for me and I don't have the time to go back and make a list of your manufactured facts. It's quite ok for you to have mistaken opinions but to state them as facts is another matter.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Apr 28, 2022, at 8:13 AM
Mr. VanGennip,
Here are some excellent, relevant examples of “…your own twisted or made-up facts.”
----- ---- --- -- -
“…the hired help for Biden appear to be running the country now.”
There is zero proof of this. O’Reilly’s twisted opinion is as immaterial as your own.
----- ---- --- -- -
“… your devotion to party over Country was pretty clearly spelled out…”
That’s totally untrue and exists only in your own mind. Pointing out Trump fallacies in putting country first.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…going on 6 years of holding a grudge on Trump for shellacking Hillary is a long time.”
Again, that’s entirely another thing you’ve made up. Any “grudges” I hold on Trump are because of the disaster his presidency was and the damage he’s doing to our country.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…you're still whing about him well over a year since he left office.”
There is no “whining.” That’s another thing that exists only in your imagination. If he had simply left office and he’d be in the “dustbin of history,” rather than continuing to delude his “base.”
----- ---- --- -- -
“…does not change the past.”
There are more and more facts coming to light, that illuminate the republican/conservative responsibility for the January 6th insurrection.
----- ---- --- -- -
“With all of the controversy…”
What controversy? There was no fraud, there was no “stolen” election, there was a free and fair vote. You seem to see a “controversy” only because Trump says so, there is no factual evidence to back you up.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…protesting an election is not overthrowing a government.”
Another “twist,” entering the Capital to halt a Constitutional process of counting electoral college votes in an attempt to throw the election to the House is not “protesting an election” it’s exactly what overthrowing means.

Response: Water Boy, I furnished a source for what I posted unlike most of your off the wall claims. I believe Mr. O'Reilly and his staff are a little closer to the situation than you are and may just be. contrary to your self aggrandizing statements, know more about the situation than you do.

"Yes.
The clear objective was to successfully remove Trump from the White House. This was accomplished, confirming that Biden was best for that purpose.
At the same time, there are younger, equally qualified candidates available to continue moving the party forward.

Again, these are your opinions and they do not line up with the real facts.
I didn't care for Trump's mouth and have said so. But when it comes down to performance he stands head and shoulders over the current sad situation we have in place. And as you state, he was the best you had.

"There is no “whining.” That’s another thing that exists only in your imagination. If he had simply left office and he’d be in the “dustbin of history,” rather than continuing to delude his “base.”"
Oh really, whining is certainly what I call it, you didn't get your way in 2016 and you started you crybabying within days of Trump being declared he winner. And you are still at it. Call it what you want, I call it whining. Reminds me of a 6year old at the checkout line when his Mother puts the candy back on the rack.

Leftau a relative few bad actors that nobody I know of supports now or then are not an armed insurrection. Look up the meaning as you obviously are not too swift on definitions.

I don't know where you have been Water Boy, but I have heard plenty of talk from people who never left the county they live in on Jan 6 and they are not convinced we had an honest election. How about giving them the comfort of a thorough investigation that is at least as in depth as the one launched over Hillary and Company's phony Russian Interference Report.
Your Democratic Party spent 4 years of wasted time and treasure in trying to unseat a duly elected President with nothing but a phony document and lies. And failed every step of the way. Would you call that an Insurrection Water Boy?

“…protesting an election is not overthrowing a government.”

Again Water Boy, is that the fault of every Conservative or Republican in the Country, or the relatively few bad actors that pulled the dumb stunt? They will get what is coming their way.

"You need to make sure that those ballots are maintained under strict chain of custody at all times," David Becker, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research, told the outlet. "It's destroying voter confidence in the United States."
Rick, I totally agree with the above.

Mr. VanGennip,
All you provided was some stammering and fumbling trying vainly to make sense. It didn’t work.
----- ---- --- -- -
O’Reilly’s far right opinion never has been credible. Didn't he even get fired from Fox?
----- ---- --- -- -
The objective of removing Trump from the Oval Office is the precise definition of putting country first.
----- ---- --- -- -
Trump as “head and shoulders” over Biden is a figment of your vivid imagination. Consider how hard it is an incumbent President to lose his second term and lose the House and lose the Senate. Incompetence makes that happen.
----- ---- --- -- -
There is still no “whining.” After Trump won, I pointed out potential vulnerabilities, risks and damages he could cause the nation. How many came true?
----- ---- --- -- -
McCarthy is not the only one to illuminate the republican/conservative responsibility for the January 6th insurrection, there will be more. Hopefully you’ll keep in mind that the chief “bad actor” was Trump.
----- ---- --- -- -
How does someone that “never left the county they live in” become convinced it was not an honest election? Someone has to repeat over and over again “the only way I can lose is if it’s rigged” and “my election was stolen.” Wonder who that could have been.
----- ---- --- -- -
Another “twist,” is more and more members of Congress are becoming embroiled in Trump’s effort to “steal the victory” from Biden. And they’re getting worried.
----- ---- --- -- -
Now, since you’ve learned so much in the past days, and you made an accusation, we’re still waiting for you to answer this:
Please identify the "twisted or made-up facts" you don't understand.

More "bad news"
"Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann was found not guilty Tuesday on the false statements charge of concealing his representation of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign from the FBI when he pushed since debunked Trump-Russia claims to the bureau in 2016.
"The verdict is a significant loss for John Durham’s investigation of the investigators, with the special counsel losing the first case that he has brought to trial.
"Sussmann, a former Perkins Coie lawyer who represented the Democratic National Committee when it was hacked in 2016, was acquitted after a two week trial in May after being charged with lying to the FBI about who he was representing when, in September 2016, he pushed claims of a since-debunked link between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa-Bank.
"He was indicted on a single false statements charge of concealing his clients, Clinton's campaign and Neustar executive Rodney Joffe, from FBI general counsel James Baker.
"Sussmann denied lying to the FBI and pleaded not guilty. The jury agreed. He did not take the stand in his own defense.
"Sussmann had worked at the Justice Department in the past, and testimony from Baker last week stated that he had a badge that allowed him access to the FBI."

Property Taxes will increase to go along with inflation because a building shows an increase in value. Now Biden would like to tax that inflationary value on property even before you have received a nickel of that increase to pay him with.
The term Tax and Spend Democrat fits them perfectly.

Average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls in the US rose by 10 cents, or 0.3%, to $31.95 in May of 2022, the same pace as in the prior month and slightly below market expectations of a 0.4% gain. In May, average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees rose by 15 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $27.33. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 5.2%, following a 5.5% rise in April and in line with market forecasts.

I have pointed out Trump lies.
I have documented Trump blunders.
I have offered written evidence sourced from the republican administration to confirm his crimes and misdemeanors.
I have quoted republican leaders who expressed legitimate and rightful outrage over the Trump insurrection.
I have offered proof from legal procedings that Trump's big lie was exactly that.
I have shown evidence of Trump's mismanagement.
I have provided Trump quotes clearly depicting how he intentionally mislead Americans.
However, I have never posted one word that indicates "obsessive hatred."
I dislike, disrespect, disapprove of him and have explained how his actions have brought dishonor on our country, but I don't waste my time or energy on hatred.

You started in on Trump within a week of him trouncing Hillary, elevated himself to a pedestal, I believe the remark you started with was. What did you really know about him at that point that the Democratic Party did not tell you?

What your version of the truth is, has nothing to do with reality. Why would anyone expect you to take facts (in particular those that dare wander from your preconceived opinions) with any shred of genuine acceptance.

Minor goof on your part in phrasing your false claim as a question.
Those that have spent any time on here, should easily recall that I've often supported spending cuts and smaller government, I've strongly supported republican/conservative politicians on several issues, I've been skeptical of women in ground combat units, I was critical of President Obama for caving on Simpson-Bowles, I've questioned President Biden's management of the initial withdrawal from Afghanistan, etc.
This is the complete opposite of "narrow minded thinking."

“Trump is politically, morally responsible for much of what has happened, but in terms of criminal liability, I think the committee has a long way to go to establish that,” the governor said of the House select panel investigating Jan. 6."
The rest of the story: If Trump is politically, morally responsible for Jan. 6, then Hillary, Obama, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Waters, AOC, Schitt, and other Democratic leaders are also politically, morally responsible for the 574 BLM & ANTIFA riots of 2020 and 2021 when they did not voice any objections to them!

President Trump was wrong to tell that crowd his Vice President Mike Pence needed to change the votes in his favor".

"...you have no basis on which to make that statement."
I said, "...it would appear..." as an observation, not an accusation.
And here's the basis:
Even after Trump's admission the he knew he lost, you still try to claim that if he truly believes it...
You refuse to accept that a republican authored report under the Trump administration is factual.
After the gross mishandling of the covid-19 pandemic you try to pass him off as a good manager.
You ignore the Trump insurrection during which he illegally failed to overturn a legitimate, fair and honest election.
With zero court accepted proof of election fraud, you cling to the "smoke" because of an anecdote from the 50's.

I said and I truly believe that if a person, any person, truly believes his/her position, what they believe is not a lie. That does not mean that they are accurate, just not lying. They still may be totally wrong. I didn't dream that up. That school of thought is from the words of others that I have read.

But not to worry, I will get there, I put $95.15 worth of Biden gasoline into the tank of my automobile this afternoon and that was to top off the 15% that was left in my tank.
Makes me appreciate the past. I purchased my first automobile as a senior in high school about 2 months before graduation. Paid $100.00 for it, and 0ne Dollar would put just short of 6 gallons in my tank with it taking just short of three dollars to fill the tank.
But I am so much better off today under Democrat control, who thinks they can force me to buy an Electric automobile.

"...you have no basis on which to make that statement."
I said, "...it would appear..." as an observation, not an accusation.
1.)And here's the basis:
Even after Trump's admission the he knew he lost, you still try to claim that if he truly believes it.
1.) Respone: I already responded.
But here is a definition of a lie.....
"The most widely accepted definition of lying is the following: “A lie is a statement made by one who does not believe it with the intention that someone else shall be led to believe it” (Isenberg 1973, 248) (cf.Feb 21, 2008:"
Which bears out what I said, if you truly believe it, it is not a lie, you just may be clueless, or you could be totally correct.
Now to the point of him saying he lost, I missed that, but a question could be raised..., if he said it, How did he loose, honestly or by fraud?
*********
2.) You refuse to accept that a republican authored report under the Trump administration is factual.
2.) Response: Do not know what report you are taking about. And I have not made a statement of refusal that I am aware of. Would you like to show the report along with my stated refusal to accept it? Short of that, I call BS!
*********
3.) After the gross mishandling of the covid-19 pandemic you try to pass him off as a good manager.
3.) Response: I believe I said he was a better manager than Biden and I still believe that. Biden's wild claims of stopping the Pandemic have certainly been proven wrong. It rages on. Just received my 2nd booster shot at approx 1:00 pm this afternoon. And we are approaching 1 1/2 years of his stumbling around.
*********
4.) You ignore the Trump insurrection during which he illegally failed to overturn a legitimate, fair and honest election.
4.) Response: I have ignored nothing. Unlike you I don't have a "thing" for Trump.
*********
5.) With zero court accepted proof of election fraud, you cling to the "smoke" because of an anecdote from the 50's.
5.) Response: Doesn't matter if it is from the 1700's. I do not cling to it, nor can you show where I said there was fraud. I have said I have no direct knowledge as nd I believe it needs as much effort put into checking it out as was put into the effort to prove Russian Collusion Based on a phony report paid for by a lying Democrat.

With todays need for instant news it’s old news. There’s way more concern about gas prices,inflation,401k tanking,baby formula,lack of feminine products,illegals,etc etc. and how this administration is dragging us down everyday. Some might insist it’s all by design.
Jan 6 was a bad day. Very bad day,but comparing it to 9/11 or Pearl Harbor?
The MSM and the “committee” won’t let it go till they find something,anything, to keep Trump from ever running again.

"Timing is everything these days..."
While that may be possible, there are always unintended consequences...
For example, after republicans take over the House and the Senate, they become responsible for fixing things, and they can't or won't and 2 years later democrats retake Congress and retain the Presidency with Biden's successor being elected.

"In the case of the current one, it appears about everything is beyond his control."
Another VanGennip oversimplification. Things beyond the control of both Congress and the administration are lingering Covid impacts, Putin, worldwide supply chain disruptions, China, world oil shortages, Ukraine, etc.
An immediate benefit to our country would be if the two sides of Congress would seek to put America before party. Republicans don't want solutions, they want the issues.

Whoa up there Leftau, you are grading by two different standards. We get hit by an epidemic, the likes of which we have never been hit with, even with the Spanish flue over 100 years ago, and it is all Trump's fault it wasn't wiped out in a few short months. Along comes Biden and he promised to wipe it out quickly. It's been almost 1 1/2 years and despite the fact that he was handed a vaccine by the Trump Administration. A vaccine that Biden was injected with before taking office, and which he later tried to take credit for, and you now stand here and try to claim Biden cannot do it himself. He needs Congress. Oh lest you forget the voters gave him a majority in the House and the Senate.
Leftau you are a one way street, an inventor of facts and a Political Water Boy for the Democrats.

Mr. VanGennip,
Your "Trumpist" inspired imagination is running wild again. Try sticking with facts.
Trump didn't cause the pandemic, but he down played the threat and ignored the degree and speed of its spread.
Remember how it was just one guy from China. That's called gross mismanagement.
President Biden managed vaccine distribution and made it available to all Americans. One conservative lady even went so far as to say she wouldn't take the shot because it could make Biden "look good." Don't know if she survived but that mentality is what generated the pandemic of the unvaccinated.
The narrow/closed minded VanGennip strikes again. Shows how unaware of facts you really are.

It is not my imagination, you just pulled it off again, blame Trump, praise Biden. And for the same lack of success. The virus is stll with us. The vaccinations started in Trump's Era by the way. Proof Biden got a shot!
Were the vaccinations fully ramped up when Biden took over. Of course not.
Did Biden stop the epidemic as he promised he would during the campaign. Hell no he did not.
And the one unnamed woman you spoke of Leftau. Show names and places, otherwise I consider it nothing more than one of your invented facts.
Did Trump make some mistakes? Of course he did.
Has Biden mistakes? Absolutely.
As I stated before.....
Leftau, you and your invented facts aka BS may get you by in some circles, but most on here recognize them for what they are.
What blows my mind is, you say the election was fair and honest, I do not have the information to make a decision one way or the other.
What does make me wonder, how in the world, can a majority of Americans vote for an obviously brain dead man for President of their country? Are we truly that uneducated?
And yes Lefty, I know you are going to be back with the same invented fact about it be an epidemic of the unvaccinated. Which is more BS.

Rick, maybe it is simply that it is hard for some of us to believe that enough Americans were dense enough to vote for a clearly brain dead individual for President of the U.S.A.
Trump was never my first choice. But like it or not, in reality our system gives us a choice of either the Democrat or the Republican. And I know of no candidate that is bad enough to cause me to vote for Hillary Clinton. And Bill was not any better. His zipper wouldn't stay closed among a host of other things.
I lived through the Jimmy Carter Era and I know what a failed economic policy can do for you. I had my worst year ever with him. I took no salary from my business one year during his reign of economic terror and lost $25,000.00 on top of it. If I had not saved for thT proverbial rainy day, I would have failed. Many did. My employees did not get big raises that year but every one of them got a paycheck on Friday.
This clown running things now has all of
The makings of a similar situation going for us. I feel for the many small businesses and their employees. People like Leftau can shoot their mouth off about how wonderful things are and what they know, but I daresay he most likely has never signed a paycheck except on the back.

How do you know when a core communication that crosses the partisan divide has gotten through?
Answer: When media from both sides of the divide receive the message.
That’s what happened on Saturday, June 11 — even before yesterday’s second hearing of the bipartisan House Select Committee investigating the events that led up to Jan. 6, 2021, and the violent siege of the Capitol that day. A powerful national voice of conservatism, The Wall Street Journal, let us know that it heard what the committee was telling us at its June 9 hearing.
In the Journal’s Saturday editorial entitled, “The Evidence of the Jan. 6 Committee,” its editors offered a powerful summation: “Mr. Trump betrayed his supporters by conning them on Jan. 6, and he is still doing it.”
This from the newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also controls Fox News, the cable channel that refused to show the June 9 prime-time hearings.
Even so, his preeminent newspaper’s editorial is noteworthy because journalists on the left heard and amplified the virtually identical message. The eminent James Fallows articulated it: “Donald Trump lost the election, and everyone [in his circle] including him knew it.” Fallows wrote that the mistake the Jan. 6 mob members made “was believing the lies they were continually fed by Trump himself.”
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Jun 15, 2022, at 11:58 AM
Mr. VanGennip claims that he is…
“…unwilling to place blind trust in a politician simply for their stated political party.”
I don’t, but he actually does. Recall that he always dodges the question of Trump’s calling the 2020 election rigged, by pleading that he doesn’t “…have all of the facts…”
Well the facts that he ignores are:
Trump proclaimed that the only way he could lose is if it’s rigged, and that was about six months prior to the election. How could he know that? Obviously he couldn’t, but he could spout that lie in order to delude gullible members of his “base.” The fact is he was only “laying the groundwork” so as to claim “foul” when he did lose, as he knew he would.
So for about half a year, he was basically telling anyone that would listen, to expect fraud if he lost. Naturally, when he did lose, his “base” looked for non-existent fraud, and finding none, started inventing “fraud.” A good example is the “suitcases of ballots” in Georgia which were in fact the storage boxes in which vote were transported.
The fact is that of the ninety odd cases going before various courts none were found to be credible. There was no fraud. Trump’s Attorney General told him this, his DOJ told him this, his federal election officials told him this, governors told him this, state voting monitors told him this and other republicans told him this. Virtually everyone involved knew there was no fraud and accepted that fact.
Except Trump, who kept on insisting that he had won “by a landslide” and his imagined victory had been “stolen.” Naturally Trump loyalists “knew” that the election had been stolen because Trump said so. They are the ones that looked for and found only illusory fraud that caused all those cases to be thrown out of court. They ignored all the facts and believed only Trump.
So it would seem that Mr. Vangennip, as one of that group, placed his “blind trust” in the politician Trump because he perpetrated and extended the “big lie.”

Trump knows that Vice-President Pence has no authority overturn the election.

"...you know that Trump knows all..."
Unlike you, some of us pay attention to what goes on in the nation and in the world, rather than only what goes on in Schaefer’s fantasy world.
The individuals that have worked for Trump testified extensively as to what he was told and what he knew. If Trump’s refusal to accept the truth is something that you’re enamored with, that’s your personal problem.
Exposing all of Trump’s faults, failures and “f-ups” in not being “obsessed,” it’s pointing out facts.

More problems for Trump…
"On June 13, the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 heard testimony devastating to Donald Trump. It came from many former Trump allies, including former Attorney General William Barr.
Barr testified that Trump “wasn’t listening” when Barr explained that Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud were “bullsh:t.” Barr said there was “no indication of interest in what the actual facts were,” and mused: “I thought, boy, if he really believes this stuff, he has, you know, lost contact with, become detached from reality.”
Some have expressed the idea that such testimony might support a credible defense for Trump to any potential criminal charges because he was deluded enough to believe his own BS. According to this misguided theory, Trump lacked the “criminal intent” necessary for conviction because he didn’t think he was doing anything wrong.
Incorrect. The law distinguishes between refusing to accept inconvenient truth to get your way and mental disturbance sufficient to excuse illegality, between adopting strategic blindness and not knowing your facts from a hole in the ground.
Judges commonly instruct juries that “willful blindness” to facts in front of you establishes criminal intent. A drug courier handsomely paid to carry a closed package into the United States doesn’t get off the hook by saying, “I never looked inside it.”

Leftau I think what you are afraid of is that with the total failure of the Biden Presidencey, on a rerun people would fall all over themselves to put Trump back in office.
You are easier to see through than a screen door Leftau. You started in on Trump within a couple of days of his have defeated Hillary Clinton. Remember that "elevated himself to a pedestal" childish BS you cane up with. Doesn't matter what, it is your tunnel vision that sees it as Trump’s fault.
You are what you are, and it's pretty pathetic!
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Jun 17, 2022, at 7:25 PM
"....fall over themselves to put Trump back in office."
What's truly astonishing is that you probably believe that.
Just one more indicator of how little you understand about Americans. Those that may agree with you are the crazies that attacked the Capital Police and wanted to hang Mike Pence.
They must be your kind of people.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Jun 17, 2022, at 8:18 PM

Not really, I was safe in my nice warm bed while that was going on. I don't endorse radical behavior on the right or the left. I believe I indicated that before.
And Leftau, those that elected Biden are certainly not happy with their choice. Just look at his ratings.
Oh and did you read that little article I posted that states that Biden's son, that upstanding example of citizenship, Hunter, tells Biden what to do?
But you just keep on carrying water for him Leftau.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Jun 17, 2022, at 9:14 PM
"They must be your kind of people."
To add some thoughts.
Leftau, you like to find someone that did something dumb, and then try to brand everyone in the organization as guilty of the same action.
To me that speaks poorly of your growth into an adult, your reasoning power and the quality of your education from primary school on up.
First you like to put all Conservatives in a box and speak degrading of them. I have said this before, but my Democratic Grandfather would have made a lot of today's so called Conservatives look like Liberals. He was a great man and could step across the line if he saw reason to do it. I try very hard to emulate both of my Grandparents And their qualities. They were excellent teachers in their own way. And it wasn't just talk with them. They acted out their beliefs and values.
Not all Democrats, not all Republicans nor all Conservatives think exactly alike.
Your attempt at putting them all in one box does nothing but reflect on your own stature.
In other words, it makes you look small and ineffective.

Maybe a little off topic, but what the hey,....
Gun Logic......
1 - Eleven teens die each day because of texting while driving. Maybe it's time to raise the age of Smart Phone ownership to 21.
2 - If gun control laws actually worked, Chicago would be Mayberry, USA.
3 - The Second Amendment makes more women equal than the entire feminist movement.
4 - Legal gun owners have 300 million guns and probably a trillion rounds of ammo. Seriously, folks, if we were the problem, you'd know it.
5 - When JFK was killed, nobody blamed the rifle.
6 - The NRA (National Rifle Association) murders 0 people and receives ($$$$ 0) nothing in government funds. Planned Parenthood kills 350,000 babies every year and receives $500,000,000 in tax dollars annually.
7 - I have no problem with vigorous background checks when it comes to firearms. While we're at it, let's do the same when it comes to immigration, Voter I.D., and candidates running for office.
8 - Folks keep talking about another Civil War. One side knows how to shoot and probably has a trillion rounds. The other side has crying closets and is confused about which bathroom to use. Now tell me, how do you think that would end?
Don’t be afraid to share this. There’s more logic and common sense expressed here than probably anything you have seen on the news today.
HAVE A GREAT FUN DAY!

1. All vehicles are registered and the drivers licensed. Do the same with guns.
2. Chicago laws are nullified by gun availability in surrounding cities and states.
3. The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with equality. Women are too smart to handle guns the way men do.
4. That's great. Let's get rid of the other 100 million guns.
5. JFK was assassinated by a sniper. It was not a mass shooting.
To be continued.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Jun 18, 2022, at 9:30 AM
6. The NRA is an enabling agency and ducks all responsibility for it actions. Planned Parenthood is a health care agency treating a variety of women's health issues. There are no babies involved.
7. The republicans/conservatives are adverse to closing background check loopholes for some strange reason.
8. Too silly to comment on.
More common sense now.

That's not the case. His Attorney General testified that Trump was told that he lost without fraud. His children also did. His personal staff members testified that Trump was well informed as to the legality of the results.

Leftau, there you go again. I deal in reality. You have no idea what I think or feel reality is.
Reality is this, I never cared a lot for Trump personly, but his policies were not a disaster as you parrot. We were better off in this country on January 20, 2021 than we are today. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out. In January 21 I could fill my tank with Premium fuel for under $40. A couple of days ago with just under a quarter of a tank it took $75.15 to do the same thing. I was in the habit of leaving the Grocery store with roughly $100 worth of groceries. It now is roughly $200 for the same thing. It is the same on nearly everything. And that is if it is available. I am in need of two 3 1/2 Ton 3 Phase Heat Pump condensing units for my building. They have been on back order for over 2 1/2 months. Thank God the other 8 units are performing. The heat index exceeded 110 degrees here last week. You cannot get this. You cannot get this and that and what you can get is overpriced.
Trump had the border under control. Biden blew that one big time. Trump had us energy independent, Biden used another executive order to blow that out of the water.
We were better off with Trump!
I am far from being the only one who feels this way. It appears about 67% of the population disproves of his performance.
And while I am at it, I am sick and tired of seeing politicians of humble means rise to rhe level of multi millionaire after a few terms.
The City of St Louis is dangerously close to losing their entire Board of Aldermen because of under the table money. Perhaps that will bleed over to the State and then Federal Level.

Carter, the President under which I had the worst year in the 37 I operated the nusiness I started. So bad I never took a salary but lived off savings and still lost money.
Biden may be a lot of things but Presidential material was never it and America is suffering the consequences of their mistake.

Prepare yourself to find window sticker prices for common Fords and Chevys in excess of $100,000.00.
1964, I have the window sticker from a decently attired Ford that reads $3838.**.
We've come a long way baby!
And I was living in a 5 bedroom house that I purchased for $12,500.00, that had previously been whatever the Methodists call their Pastor's home. Full brick with Stucco over it.
Yes, the Democrats inflation programs have made us all appear to be wealthy. Being a millionaire will be common and in some cases it will qualify you for welfare.
I remember the days when people longed to make $10,000.00 per year. Now it is well below the poverty level. I remember house payments on a small home being $67 per month. Think people are better off today with house payments in the $600 and $700 range with the same level home they paid $67 on?

Rick I just had a grim reminder of where we are today.
My computer went down a couple of weeks ago. It is 6 years old, a 17" HP Laptop. Took it to a local shop to see if he could revive it, but it got worse.
For years in business and since I have used a company in St Louis. The gut started out in the trunk of his car but he put us in business computer wise. Today he mostly works for businesses and has about a dozen people working for him. I called his customer service and purchased a new computer. I cannot get a 17" Laptop right now, so had to take a 15". I also ordered screen so I can more easily read it when at my desk. They said it would be here today by courier followed by a tech tomorrow to set me up.
The point I an finally to, the computer was delivered about 20 minutes ago by a well dressed gentleman who was 85 years old if he was a day. He tottered up to my door handed me the equipment and handed me a cell phone to sign and acknowledge the delivery.
This is supposed to be that man's golden years. He was obviously using his personal automobile. That computer came from within blocks of the arena downtown st. Louis to St. Peters.
Why do you suppose that old man is out making deliveries at his age?. He was retirement age at least 20 years ago... my guess, he cannot live on Social Security and yesterday's Savings in today's inflated economy.
Seniors are the ones who are always going to be the worst affected by the poor management of our government officials. Sure they will print and pass out some more money, but it will only increase the future problem.
Think before you vote, you are all going to get old and today's savings will not cover runaway inflation down the road. Better put a perfect ******* in the Presidencey, than a portrayed nice guy who likes to sniff babies but couldn't properly manage a lemonade stand. And that folks is where we positioned ourselves in the 2020 election. I don't give a rat's rear-end about the party, I am concerned with my Grandchildren's future.

Per Mr. VanGennip,
“You have no idea what I think or feel reality is.”
That may be correct, but I read your contributions and they reveal what your “reality” consists of.
----- ---- --- -- -
“...his policies were not a disaster as you parrot.”
Actually they were. Take these examples…
On his first day in office he began his daily Presidential tirade of falsehoods (“my inaugural crowd was bigger than his crowd),which sadly, continued throughout his term.
----- ---- --- -- -
His tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans (at Mar a Lago saying “I just made you all a lot richer”) and tax breaks for corporations were passed without any corresponding cuts in spending, thereby forcing us to borrow trillions more.
----- ---- --- -- -
His claims of the greatest accomplishments in US history…
“President Donald Trump stepped up to the iconic dais at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday and began his speech much as he would a campaign rally: by boasting that his administration “has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.”
Many of the assembled world leaders and foreign dignitaries responded with laughter.
“I didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK,” he said, laughing off the chuckles that rippled through the hall.”
----- ---- --- -- -
“The current economic expansion in the U.S. is the longest uninterrupted period of growth in its modern recorded history. A development that President Trump has wasted few opportunities to highlight, tweeting just this week "our economy is the best it has ever been. Best employment and stock market numbers ever." Trump’s boasting, apart from the usual inaccuracy, is at odds with the reality of a surprisingly fragile U.S. economy.”
Actually, the “Trump economy” was just a continuation of the Obama economy which had created about 7 years of sustained growth, reduced unemployment and stock market growth from about 7500 to about 21000.
Trump’s complaint of “I inherited a mess” was totally false. In fact it was President Biden that inherited “ a mess.”
----- ---- --- -- -
To be continued with Trump blunders on the border and in foreign relations.

Trump 1.4% Inflation, Local Gas $1.92 gal, No Recession

You Dims wasted Citizens time and treasure with your witch hunts trying to oust him from office and failed each and every time. What makes you think this effort will succeed after your lies and failures to get him up until now have ended in failure. Trump never left office 10 minutes early in spite of the red hot hatred displayed by the Democratic Party.

The Speaker's intent was to conduct a fair and impartial, bipartisan investigation of all aspects to the attack. That exactly what the country got.
The 4 republican "crazies" had no desire to document what took place, rather they wanted to disrupt and make a circus of the hearings.

To add to what I said Leftau, to name just three posters, Rick S., Schaefer, and DA, I trust what they post, unlike your postings. Those are just three of the most proliferate posters. Same goes for most of the others.
With your Trump obsession I will trust it to be opinion or outright lies unless I know better and I will not waste a minute of my time researching you unless I see fit to.
It is my opinion that you want to see Trump convicted of something regardless if he is guilty or not.
I look upon it, if he gets a fair and impartial investigation and trial and is found guilty of something, he is a big boy and will have to work it out.
But when you get a railroading with I believe, 5 Democrats and 2 Democrat picked Republicans which at least one of is his Arch enemy, there is nothing coming out of it that is not suspect.
The Democrats wasted 4 years of time going after Trump and absolutely proved nothing. Now he is out of office and they are going to **** away another 4 years while putting a brain dead man in the Presidencey, for one reason, he could win. It is sick, that is what it is. And the country suffers.

Mr. VanGennip,
"...beating Hillary Clinton caused such hatred..."
More "mixfusion" in the VanGennip camp.
Clinton's loss was primarily related to her mishandling of the campaign, specifically the e-mail issue. There is no reason for anyone to "hate" Trump due to her loss, that was her own fault.
Dislike, distrust and disgust of Trump is because of his immorality, absence of character, dishonesty, his unethical nature, continual lying, immaturity, bullying, ignorance, and self-centered egoism.
Those are not connected to Clinton's defeat, except for the fact that the vast majority of Americans now recognize she would have done a much better job in office

But either stick to the verifiable facts in the future or I will try to point out your invented facts/lies. I have done so from time to time in the past. Count on more of it in the future.
One comes to mind from the other day, you referred to Trump as a criminal, but despite untold amounts of time and money the Dims have put into it, he has been convicted of nothing.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Jun 22, 2022, at 9:45 PM
Not having been convicted yet, does not mean he hasn't committed crimes.
Of course he has, bribery, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, sedition, inciting insurrection, fraud, and more.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jun 23, 2022, at 7:32 AM
If you rob a bank you're already a criminal. After you've been caught and found guilty, you become a convicted criminal.
It's a fact that Trump is a criminal, as in "all I need is 11780 votes" where he confessed to vote fraud. He just hasn't been convicted yet.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jun 23, 2022, at 7:58 AM
Of course that is your opinion.
Why don't you tell us what you think of the Democrat threats to riot and burn if the Supreme Court Justices make a Roe vs Wade decision that does not suit them.
By your interpretation it appears that these Democrats are all non convicted criminals. Would you.like to clarify that for us Leftau?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Jun 23, 2022, at 8:09 AM
In fact Leftau, the very lives of Supreme Court Justices have been threatened ig they vote wrong.

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Jun 23, 2022, at 8:12 AM
Not at all. Find whoever made threats and if it's a crime, indict them.

Lettau: Don't forget about Obama/Hillary's illegal spying on Trump while campaigning, after winning the presidency, and during his presidency. Also, the payment by Hillary for the Russian Collusion fake dossier - crimes with no justice served to either one of them. Oh, also Hillary's missing 30,000 emails which were destroyed to protect her!
Also, don't forget about Crackhead Hunter saying it's 10% for the Big Guy in his corrupt overseas dealings!
Yep, Lettau clean up your own party before worrying about the Republican party! No, I can't prove the above just like you can't prove anything about Trump that's for the corrupt DOJ & FBI to do!

Leftau, you seem to take great pride in telling us how you keep up with current events. How come you don't know who these people are and call them criminals. It is against the law to threaten another's life, especially a Supreme Court Justice. They are trying to thwart what our Constitution spells out the Supreme Court is there for.
Or is it, you only hold an entire party guily if they are not Dimocrats.
I happen to agree that it is only the person making the threats who are guilty, but that is not the way you handled the Jan 6 mess. Over and over you voiced cond r mention to Conservatives and Republicans for that.
But in this case you are narrowing it down to person by person. I believe they call that hypocritical.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Jun 23, 2022, at 9:03 AM
The only individual named appears to have been Schumer. As I said earlier, if it's proven that he committed a crime, he should be indicted. Just like Trump.

No Lettau, it's Liberals and All Democrats who should be condemned that is the way you handle it when a Republican does anything out of line.
And it appears they are threatening to riot and burn and threatening our very Constitution! No question Schumer is an ***, but it isn't limited to that.
We have to think in the same terms as the Jan 6 mess of a year and half ago where a mere handful of citizens, when compared to all Conservatives and Republicans, acted up and you mouthed off about Republicans and Conservatives as if half of the citizens of our country was in Washington that night. You are a fair person aren't you?

"The only individual named appears to have been Schumer. As I said earlier, if it's proven that he committed a crime, he should be indicted. Just like Trump."
Nope, by the terminology you used on Trump anyone that says anything that appears out of line is a criminal. Schumer therefore is a criminal by your standards and should resign from the Senate. And if you are a fair person you will give it all of the attention you give Trump.

Leftau, you will will find nowhere where I condoned or agreed to what went on Jan 6th. Your Democrats are threatening to do much the same thing just in a different place. You were very verbal when it happened and have been ever since. But you have nothing to say about this threatened violence on an Institution of our government and there already have been some actions.
Trump told them to find some votes and you claim that makes him a criminal. Schumer is encouraging rioting and violence.
One question Leftau....
Is Chuck Schumer a criminal?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Jun 23, 2022, at 10:17 AM

2.) A repeat but does Schumer mouthing off make him a criminal?

"In March 2020, as the Supreme Court was hearing arguments in a case about a Louisiana abortion law, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke to a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court and bellowed: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price."
Leftau you say that this is not a criminal, to make threats against two Supreme Court Justices causing death threats to be made against them and that does not make him a criminal by your standards for calling Trump a criminal.
Trump merely said a couple of words about finding him some votes. He did not dedmand the guy cheat. Yet you said that made him a criminal. Then on the other side of the coin the most prominent Democrat in the Senate stands on the steps of the Supreme Court Building and makes threats against two Supreme Court Justices by name, and yet you say he is not a criminal for doing it. Then you have the audacity to suggest that it might be Schumer's First Amendmenmt right to make those threats.
You are one two faced, hypocritical excuse for fairness!

But I suppose because they are radical Liberals and Democrats involved it is ok. Is that it Leftau?
Oh, and LeftaU, let me clarify this statement for you....,,
"If you can show how his actual quote does not qualify for 1st amendment protection, ask again."

" Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke to a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court and bellowed: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.""
Now you tell me Leftau, if you disagree and say those kind of threats are protected by First Amendment rights, just how.
I do not believe any part of our Bill of Rights or Constitution gives anyone the right to threaten the well being of others. If you think it does please show where I am mistaken.

Like it or not, he is going to share some responsibility if these Leftist wackos manage to carry out their threats.
Threatening a judge in ant way is suspect. Schumer is just proving he isn't the brightest bulb on the tree.

Schumer made a political statement protected by the 1st amendment. If a court determines otherwise, he may be indicted. If not, you just may have to grow up and realize you don't always get your own way.

Fact: The USA was oil/gas Independent and in Dec. 2020 the Inflation was only 1.4% - then the Resident of the White House Nursing Home took over and Americans' standard of living has been dealt a blow - and it's not good with that Recession coming.
Don't you think that the Spirits of the Sacred Lands wouldn't mind giving up their oil? Isn't all of America Sacred Lands?

Funny how the party that was so violently against "government mandated masking" or "government mandated vaccinations" (my body, my choice) all of a sudden have no issue with government mandated pregnancies.
Abortion is a medical issue, not a political football. If you believe that meaningful existence begins at fertilization, that's completely up to you and you're 100% within your rights.
You don't have a right to try to force every American to believe exactly as you do.

Trump had the oil companies working full blast because unlike the Resident Biden he didn't hamstring the companies with countless restrictions....good not to be a begging for oil like Biden is.

Leftau if you have no need to Judge Schumer by a different standard than Trump..., then why do you?
Schumer did a lot more than make a political statement, he made outright threats to Supreme Court Justices, which is not protected by the First Amendment,and I hope they reciprocate appropriately down the road. By your standards Shumer is a criminal. You say Trump threatened Pence, well Shumer threatened a couple of Supreme Court Justices. You try to make his threat political but Shumer didn’t use the word.
Oh and I asked you to explain how a Supreme Court Justice would need to be concerned about political rerepercusions. Never saw anything.
The judges sure took Shumer seriously didn’t they? They did the correct thing, they voted what the Constitution required of them and that was to interpret the law instead of making law which is not the courts function. The biggest single thing this issue covered was the past courts making law instead of interpreting it.
Don't be concerned Leftau, you Democrats are still going to be able to kill babies so long as you can convince the legislatures in 50 states to permit it.
And further there is no mandating pregnancy.
There are many ways for a woman to prevent pregnancy. And one sure way, keep your legs crossed.
Sorry for the delay in correcting you, but I had a computer crash and spent an afternoon with a tech installing a new one and recovering programs and data. Fortunately I think we recovered 100% of what has any importance.

Normal justices are fair, honest and non-political.

They are causing political repercussions, not against them, but against the republican party.

Here is the quote from Schumer.......
Again.....
" Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke to a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court and bellowed: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.""
Leftai, that was weak even for you!
You are the one that said Schumer threatened political ramifications not Schumer. Not you cannot even tell us how he can bring political repercussions to life time appointees. Schumer threatened the judges and it eas NOT a political statement. He called them out by name. I reprinted his threat for you. BY your standards in judging Trump, Schumer is now a criminal. But you are such a Water Boy for the Democrats you cannot bring yourself to admit it.
One more thing Leftau, you asked me to point out your "invented facts" so here is one. Maybe I should say some. If you disagree point out your facts and opinions don't count!
""...political repercussions..."

Leftau, unlike you. I do not pretend to be able to read people's minds.
To me, this is a threat "You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price."
I believe that it has incited some of the Liberal crazies to issue death threats to the named Justices.
It is high time our Supreme Court sticks to their Constitutional Obligation and interpret the law, not make law. Roe vs Wade was made into being a law by the previous liberal Court and has been the cause of the deaths of thousands of unborn babies.
Now it is left up to the states if they want to continue this murderous practice.
If you believe baby killing is appropriate, that is your problem. My belief is it is unconscionable.
If Missouri's Legislators want to pass a bill to legalize Baby killing, my recourse will be at the polls.
The Liberal BS about it being a Women's health issue is just that, BS. If a doctor says not to have a baby, then that woman's obligation to herself is to do what is necessary to prevent pregnancy. Abortion is not birth control.
The current mayhem at the Supreme Court building is as bad or worse than the January 6th mess if their threats are carried out.

What about Schumer?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Jun 25, 2022, at 12:52 PM
How many times do you have to be told the facts...
If his statement remains protected by the 1st amendment, he's not a criminal. On the other hand, if the threat is determined to be criminal, and if he's indicted and charged with a crime, he becomes a criminal.
Personally I believe the "threat" is ludicrous, but clearly republican "what aboutism" demands it be taken seriously.
Trump was impeached for crimes twice. That makes him a criminal. On top of that, he was found guilty by a bipartisan majorities both times. Since the number of guilt votes did not reach 60 (or 67) his sentence was basically suspended. That did not make him innocent.
Just think how much off our nation would have been if he'd been removed the first time.

The First Amendment does not protect threats!
You said when Trump made a statement he became a criminal.
Schumer makes threats and you say he has to be indicted and charged with a crime then he becomes a criminal.
Please explain this to me and don't make me have to go back checking for your statement, I am very busy, but I will do it if necessary.
I didn't know there were different rules for Republicans and Democrats. I thought they were all Americans like the rest of us and the same set of rules applied to all.
So tell me, which is it.....
A person says something and he becomes a criminal.
A person has to be indicted and charged with a crime and he becomes a criminal.
Since I think you are full of it in both cases and have no idea of what you are saying....
I believe a person becomes a criminal when he/she is indicted, charged with a crime and is judged guilty by a jury of his/her peers. So until that final step they are simply a party having been charged with a crime. I believe you will find our rule here is that you are innocent until proven guilty and the proven guilty part is by a jury of your peers, not public opinion by a self appointed committe of your enemies. And sometimes the committee is comprised of one bigoted person.
Now I would be interested in knowing what part of the above paragraph contains errors, if you think I made an error.
Short of that, I am calling your asumption of indictment and charging makes a criminal, just what it is, BS!

"Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit" redirects here. For burden of proof in law in general, see Burden of proof (law).
The presumption of innocence is a legal principle that every person accused of any crime is considered innocent until proven guilty. Under the presumption of innocence, the legal burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which must present compelling evidence to the trier of fact (a judge or a jury). If the prosecution does not prove the charges true, then the person is acquitted of the charges. The prosecution must in most cases prove that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If reasonable doubt remains, the accused must be acquitted. The opposite system is a presumption of guilt.
In many countries and under many legal systems, including common law and civil law systems (not to be confused with the other kind of civil law, which deals with non-criminal legal issues), the presumption of innocence is a legal right of the accused in a criminal trial. It is also an international human right under the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 11."

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Jun 25, 2022, at 9:39 PM
Leftau, since you have seemed to go dark, I am going to give you some help understanding a little about what makes a criminal.
I will take your following post and show you what is wrong with your twisted thinking.
1.) How many times do you have to be told the facts...
Reaponse: Only once if it is a fact. However invented facts are never accepted as reality.
2.) If his statement remains protected by the 1st amendment, he's not a criminal. On the other hand, if the threat is determined to be criminal, and if he's indicted and charged with a crime, he becomes a criminal.
Response: Wrong again.
If his statement is protected by the first amendment of course he is not a criminal. But threatening people is not protected by the 1st Amendment.
Another mistake. If he is indicted and charged with a crime it does not make him guilty. The presumtion is he is innocent and not guilty until he is tried and found guilty. When asked this question later you agreed that the presumption of innocent until proven guilty is one of our standards. But here you state just the opposite. Talk about somebody being confused, you are a classic case. You cannot be innocent and be a criminal in the same sentence. To be a criminal you have had to have a trial by judge or judge and jury.
I think you realize that and that is why you stalled on answer my next question. It s clear you let your mouth/fingers overload your *** and are caught in your own fabrications.
3.) Personally I believe the "threat" is ludicrous, but clearly republican "what aboutism" demands it be taken seriously.
Response: You are entitled to believe what you want but it doesn't make it a fact.
4.) Trump was impeached for crimes twice. That makes him a criminal. On top of that, he was found guilty by a bipartisan majorities both times. Since the number of guilt votes did not reach 60 (or 67) his sentence was basically suspended. That did not make him innocent.
Response: Trump could him been impeached/incicted 100 times, that does not make him a criminal. It is so obviouse you do not have a clue how our system of government works. The presumtion was that Trump was innocent and therefore could not be a criminal on this basis unless convicted which did not happen, it failed.
Next there is a requirement of x number of votes required to find him guilty and his accusers could not muster them. That is the law, if you don't like it get it changed. If it had been a civil murder trial it would have taken 100% of the eligible jurors to convict him. No, you are wrong again, he was not guilty. The accusers failed to get the required number of guilty votes so under our system the presumption is innocent as he was hot proven guilty. And if he is innocent he again, cannot be a criminal. You failed in that ridiculous scenario Leftau. Argue it all you want.
5.) Just think how much off our nation would have been if he'd been removed the first time.
Response: That obviously is nothing more than your opinion and doesn't mean squat. Got a link on that claim? I thought so.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Jun 25, 2022, at 1:42 PM
Leftau I will add, your ridiculous claims are so easy to refute using out standards and by standards, I mean...
a.) The presumption of innocent until proven guilty.
b.) Not proven guilty by the law which sets the requirement to prove guilt.
So next time you want to rip into me and start your childish ranting about me not understanding etc. be sure it is not you who has not a clue. My arguments above follow established precedent and law. Yours is just invented facts, opinions and senseless rantings.
Also Leftau, let me address this....
"Tell you what, I'll "see" your phony "one arm" claim and "raise you" with a quote from one of your past, former idols, "I can handle blowhards like VanGennip with half my brain tied behind my back."

Better unleash that half a brain before you cannot find it. It doesn't appear to be that large and might be hard to locate in case you didn't secure it well.
And so much for your assumption the man was an idol of mine. FYI Lefty, I don't deal in idols. I do my own thinking on all things and if you want to get nasty about things, I am willing to go right down there in the gutter with you. I will put my thinking and what it has returned for me over my lifetime up against yours any day Leftau.
I went through a buyout of my main supplier where they sent in a flock of White Collar WPA boys with MBA titles to straighten out the company that was successful and they almost tanked it. As a Distributor of their product I had contract pricing, which amounted to a multiplier of a list price. To try to screw us they tried changing the list prices and multipliers on a regular basis. Each time they tried to take the price up I reciprocated. Evey time they got me for 5 %, I took 7% or more back when we went back to the negotiating table. Other manufactures wanted my business and I used it on them. They soon learned to quit that nonsense.
You see Leftau going into a negotiating sitution with these degreed college boys was a fun game for me.
Going to the mat with the likes of you on silly stuff like this is like arm wrestling a 3-year-old.

Funny how Lettau and the Democrats are focused on someone out of office while the one in office is BOLTING (google friendly) them and the rest of us everyday!!
********************
Thanks to President Trump for sitting 3 Conservative SCOTUS Justices who helped overturned the Unconstitutional Roe V Wade mass killing decision.
********************
Those Roe V Wade protesters need to be in the streets screaming about the USA avg. $5.00 gas prices and the grocery prices being doubled or how about your retirement fund being wiped out due to the highest inflation in over 40 years!
God Help/Save the USA from this Senile Demented Administration!
********************
Trump 1.4% Inflation and local gas $1.92 gal
Biden 8.6% Inflation and local gas $4.44 gal
What a nonwinner that we have in the White House Nursing Home!
I could go for some of those mean tweets and $1.92 gal gas!
********************
That's OK Democrats, when the Republicans take control over both Houses of Congress this Nov. come Jan. 2023 there will be Committees investigating Obama, Hillary, and Impeachment proceedings for Old Joe and won't we have fun - so enjoy your little Fake J6 Hearings while you can!
BTW, Trump lives rent free in the Democrats' minds....guess that's one way of beating Biden's 8.6% Inflation!

Mr. VanGennip,
It’s always fascinating to watch when you go into full blown braggart mode, spinning tales about how “superior” you’ve always been, and how helpless your “inferiors” are in daring to disagree with your “brilliance.”
It’s even more humorous when you add in the “defend Trump at all costs” ingredient.
Anyone that has paid attention to current events for the past 6 years, will have as much trouble as you do in declaring Trump’s innocence of crimes. Knowing the high level of difficulty you have with facts and honesty, I’ll keep this simple for your sake.
To begin with, in both Impeachments the majority of Senators voted him guilty. In the first a number of Senators violated their impeachment oath by admitting they knew he was guilty but didn’t feel his crime was that serious.
In the second, he was again guilty, but a number of Senators used the excuse that he was already out of office, for not removing him.
That Trump was and is a criminal has been reinforced by various other crimes which you should already be aware of. If you still need help, let me know.
Also, your petty insults may pump up your ego, but it proves nothing except that when it come to you "doing your own thinking" you don't appear to be very good at it.

Leftau, when you want to go into petty insults, how about you read your own post here.
I told you that when you wanted to go to the gutter, I would join you and I did, now you whine about it. Someone starts some shat I am prepared to finish it. If you could not understand the logic in my post, that's on you. The trial of Trump in the impeachment was political payback as was the acquittal.
If the Democrats had not played get Trump for 4 years where not only they lost, the country lost, we would all be better off.
I will tell you this much. You show me one case where Trump was Indicted for a criminal offense, accused, went to trial and found guilty by our laws and I will agree with you. Up until you can do that, you are just passing gas into the wind.
But attack me and expect payback in spades and be a man and quit whining about it.

Mr. VanGennip,
Your sensitivity must have peaked this morning, imagining "attacks" and "insults" when there were none.
Passing on facts about Trump's crimes that led to impeachment and being found guilty by a bipartisan majority of Senators is not an attack on you, it's just the truth, not any type of "political payback."
I have never said that he was convicted in a criminal trial. That's yet to come. Doesn't make him less of a crook or criminal, just not one convicted in an actual courtroom.

His Crimes you say, like the Russian Collusion BS that occupied so much time and was dreamed up with the help of a phony report bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the trash hungry Democrats Dwelllllllllled on it forever it seems. And the so called crimes dreamed up by the liars like Adam Schifff. The Impeachments were instituted based on lies by a vindive Democratic Party and were a national disgrace. Of cource a majority of vindictive Dempcrats and about two Trump hating Republicans formed a majority to vote against Trump but it did not meet the legal requirement to convict on the trumped up charges. And the required majority is there for reasons just such as this. Yes Leftau it was a political revenge disgrace America will have to live down but it happened and we should learn from it and move on.
And one more time since you seem to be having trouble understanding this.....
A person is presumed innocent until he/she is charged, indicted and convicted by a judge or jury. Once more, majorities in these types proceedings are set by law and for good reason. The reason being in cases like political repercussions. The Democrats had two reasons to go after Trump. One he left the Democratic Party and Two he defeated Hillary Clinton who was as much as elected by the pundits months before the election, and last but not least.... it was her turn!
I have asked you to give me one instance where Trump has been charged, indicted and found guilty of criminal charges and I would agree with you he was a criminal. So far you have not shown that so until you show it, he should be considered by American standards of fairness to be innocent. And you cannot be innocent and a criminal by deinition. Yet you want to use the word criminal because you still after all of this time has lapsed have such hatred for the man, you have to be nasty about it. Yeah I know what you are going to say about you don't hate Trump, your actions make that a lie.
Hopefully this sinks in this time Leftau and I do not need to try and explain it to you again.
So far as your insults. go back and read your posts, if you cannot recognize them I pity you.
As I said before, if you want to go to the gutter, I am available off and on. If you want to agree to disagree respectfully I can do that as well... your choice.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Jun 26, 2022, at 11:45 AM
I've been disagreeing respectfully all along.
As to what you consider "insults," it's hard to decipher what your definition is. I used the term "bragging" because it fit with you besting the "college boys." The "superiors" and "inferiors" are terms you used in many prior posts.
Pointing out that Trump is a criminal shouldn't be an insult to you, it's just fact. It's not something made up. Recall in his recorded conversation with Solenskyy when he said something like, first we need a favor, referring to fabricating "dirt" on Biden. That's called bribery and people that commit it are criminals.
As with other of his crimes, he commits them openly on recorded phone calls. Do you recall, all I need you to do is find me 11,780 votes. Or how about him telling his acting AG, just say there was fraud and me and republican Congressmen will do the rest.
It's obvious that he commits criminal acts that have yet to bring him to court. If you want to split hairs and claim at least he's not a convicted criminal, that's your privilege. The impeachments refute that, but that's another issue where the facts disturb you.
Perhaps you could clarify how it is that when a democrat makes an observation, it always a lie. That sounds suspiciously like the Trump assertion of "fake news" with respect to anything he disputes.
Finally, I would respectfully disagree that any democrat wanted to "go after" Trump because he left the party. And I still maintain that the 2016 election was Clinton's to lose, and she did.

"Recall in his recorded conversation with Solenskyy when he said something like, first we need a favor, referring to fabricating "dirt" on Biden. That's called bribery and people that commit it are criminals."
He is presumed innocent unless convicted. Has he been convicted of that? If not it is you who is lying by using he word criminal. You have had that explained to you enough times that it should start to sink in sooner of later. You are innocent until proven guilty by a judge or jury of your peers. Street talk is not aa jury and and innocent person is not a criminal. Do you have that yet Leftau?

What part of the following is so difficult for you to understand?
THE PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY BY A JUDGE OR JURY OF A PERSON'S PEERS.
Even a person seen committing the crime of murder is PRESUMED INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY BY A JURY OF THEIR PEERSS, 100% OF THEM!
Executing the person committing the murder by mob or singly without the above mentioned trial is lynching and what you are guilty of Mr. Lettau is political lynching!
"The impeachments refute that,"
The impeachments refute nothing Leftau. The impeachments proved nothing; they did not meet the legal requirement for a conviction. Of course, 100% of Democrats played the party line and voted to impeach and with the exception of a couple who had issues with Trump of the Republicans voted to clear him. As I said before it was strictly a political waste of time bunch of BS. Therefore, the legal requirement to meet a certain number of votes to convict. They did not meet it so he was cleared of the charges, like it or not.
The same thing happened in the Bill Clinton impeachment trial; a majority voted to impeach but the Democrats would not allow it to happen. Why do you have such a problem with Trump, my best guess would be you thought it just fine in the case of Clinton.

High crimes and misdemeanors...
Impeachment twice brands Trump as a criminal in that his acts were cause for "trial" by the Senate and bipartisan majorities voted him guilty both times.
How you care to define this is totally up to you. Call him innocent as much as you want. Doesn't change anything.

I will use the established law of our country to make my determinations. You may use your invented facts all you like but it changes nothing.
Prove me wrong if you think you can.
If you were correct, Trump's name would not have been on the 2020 ballot. I believe if you will check you will find that it was.
I have invited you to show us one case where Trump was charged, indicted and convicted of anything. The fact that you did not like the results carry no weight whatsoever.
You may continue to show your lack of knowledge by continuing to call the man a criminal if you like, but that takes conviction in this country which you have not provided or proved. You have not turned up anything so serious as a parking ticket, or a traffic violation

Leftau is grasping at straws. He is desperate to nail Trump with something, just anything, so far nothing he can come up with shows anything that passes our Innocent until proven guilty test by our laws.
Then he comes up with he is guilty because a majority of Democrats said so but they could not manage the required number to convict. He calls it a bipartisan number of Senators who voted to convict. It was 100% of the Democrats and about 2 of the Republicans that had come afoul of Trump.
These efforts at Impeachment are nothing but politics going bad.
The Republicans tried to impeach Clinton for lying under oath among other things and the Democrats prevented it.
The Democrats tried to impeach Trump much of it based on lies by the likes of Schiff from the land of fruits and nuts, and the Republicans kept it from happening.
It is what it is and that is for the most part political BS when it comes to impeachments.

Consider the question for him coming up next.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Jun 26, 2022, at 6:46 PM
Mr. VanGennip,
Trump's 2nd impeachment was for his incitement of insurrection.
The final bipartisan majority vote was 56 to 44 clearly calling out his guilt. As you should know, the final vote was after Trump had been voted out of office.
The question is why did those 44 Republicans ignore the evidence and refrain from voting guilty?
Answers are A or B.
A. Former President Trump was totally innocent of all actions and faultless concerning the January 6th rally, demonstration, attack on the Capital and the attempt to overturn the fair, honest and legal election of November 2020.
B. Trump's term of office was over and in spite of his clear guilt, it is not necessary to aggravate former President Trump by declaring him guilty.
So what's you opinion, A or B. Saying you don't know because you "weren't there" is a cop out?
Just answer, A or B.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Jun 26, 2022, at 7:05 PM
I don't know guys. I am not privey to Leftau's mental status but it sure is tough trying to get anything through his thick skull. He doesn't understand that it only takes a simple majority in the House of Representatives to impeach a President, that is 1/2 of them plus 1. At that point you have nothing but an indictment which could be based on nothing. Court is held in the Senate and it takes 2/3 of them or 67 votes to convict. If you haven't got the votes you are wasting time and money which is what the Dims did not once but twice. Talk about slow learners. And impeachment of a President already out of office is the height of ignorance!
And with this whizzing away of taxpayer dollars the Dims cap it off by electing a brain dead man to hold the most respected office in the world. At least it was.
And one more time, in this country the Presumption of Innocence unless convicted by a Judge or Jury of your peers is the law of the land. And innocent people are not criminals!
Thank you!
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Jun 26, 2022, at 7:07 PM
The answer is either A or B.
Do you need it explained again or do you need more time to think?

Your answer is as follows Leftau, it is neither.
Now I will ask you something.......
I might ask you why Leftau
A. The House never proved their point.
B. The whole stinking mess from beginning to end was political and a get Trump at any cost.
C. If not A. or B. why did the Democrats go after him after he was already out of office.
Keep digging Leftau until you see a man wearing a pigtail and it won't change anything.
And you are one of folks that subscribe to B., would be my opinion.
One more thing Leftau, with all of this waste of Taxpayer time and treasure, you failed to shorten Trumps term in office by as little as 37 seconds. What a waste.

Leftau surely has a mental imparement. The impeachment proceedings are a snap to figure out.
The Democrats went after Trump every way they could starting with the Russian Collusion which turned out to be a lie. That failing they tried impeachment. It was strictly a political get even. The Republicans proved they could be just as political and cut off impeachment at the pass. The whole thing was nothing more and nothing less. Leftau is trying to make it look like St. Nancey and St. Adam were there for God and Country when in fact they two of the biggest weavers of falsehoods on the planet.

Leftau, if you were even half smart you would know better than try to force me to say positively what they had on their mind.
I don't operate like you do thinking I know what people I don't even know are thinking. As I said some where, an educated guess would be the Democrates impeaching Trump was strictly political BS and the response of the Republicans was just as political in seeing to it they never got their way. So Leftau, like it or not, that is my response and you can put it in your pipe and smoke it. Or stick it where the sun don't shot, I could care less.

There was enough time for the Senate to complete the impeachment. The senate appeared reluctant to finish as quickly as they could have.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Jun 26, 2022, at 8:41 PM
Just as I said in my previous post. Leftau thinks he knows exactly what is going on in everybody's mind and states it as a certainty. What an egotistical mierable way to act.

Lettau, you can wait until hell freezes over but you are not going to goad me into giving you an answer to something positively that I have no way to know with certainty. I already told you a couple of times my opinion of went on but will do it once more since you appear to be a really slow learner.
1. It is my opinion the Democrats politically went after Trump from day one in any way they could dream up. Impeachment being the big finish they hoped for.
2. The Republicans no matter what they may have thought politicaally saw to it they never accomplished their goal.
It appears to me the Republicans won in seeing to it the Democrats failed in their politically motivated goal would be my opinion. Like it or lump it, there you have it Leftau.

Mr. VanGennip,
Don't worry about your inability or unwillingness to answer a simple, straightforward question. I already know what it should be.
But in the spirit of agreeing to disagree respectfully I'll ignore your customary petty insults and answer your question.
The answer is C, except that his second impeachment was initiated after his insurrection and while he was still in office. The process was not finished by January 20th but was continued for the purpose of preventing Trump of seeking office again.
Even now, I'd suggest that republicans such as McConnell regret not allowing an additional 11 Senators to put country ahead of party and allow the process to go to completion.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Jun 27, 2022, at 8:17 AM
Leftau your question was not answered because like I told you last night. It required me to assume that I knew what those Senators were thinking. Unlike you Leftau, I try not to make assumptions because assume diagramed makes an *** out of u and me.
Keep making them if you like, that's your call. But for me I will try to state it so if it is nothing but my opinion.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Jun 27, 2022, at 10:24 AM
Further Leftau, I have seen nothing from you to change my opinion, that the whole thing was political BS and you as much as admitted it when you stated that it would keep him from running for office again.
My hope is that for the sake of unity in this country that neither he or Biden appear on the ballot. Biden was, is and will be unfit for the office of President. Trump is capable but too much of a divider.
But I still say thanks to Trump for saving us from Hillary Clinton.
And Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden still need the same scrutiny Trump was given. With Hillary, we all know why, with Biden it is the 10% for the big guy thing from his Son's activities. His Office as VP and President was compromised.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Jun 27, 2022, at 10:47 AM
I agree that neither Biden nor Trump should run again, but for different reasons. I'm sure you realize that it was American voters that determined that Trump was unfit for office and Biden was.
You're still welcome to your opinion, but I side with the American people.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Jun 27, 2022, at 10:57 AM

January 22, 2020. "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China."

March 10, 2020. "It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away."
Wonder who said those things? Possibly someone to "blame" for misleading the nation.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Jun 27, 2022, at 6:07 PM
And?
Biden said he would end it. How’s that working out? Then he said get the shot and you won’t get it. So how’s that working out? He also was gonna cure cancer? Hows that working out?
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, Jun 27, 2022, at 6:58 PM
Wonder who promised to get rid of it if elected?
"Yet it is seeming less and less likely that the administration will conclusively deliver on its campaign promise to "beat COVID-19." Instead, the goalposts are being shifted. As a news report revealed earlier this month, the Biden administration has deliberated internally on how to"gauge what the American public would 'tolerate'" in terms of pandemic deaths per day. This is a disturbing deviation from responsible public health policy, which requires breaking chains of transmission, driving case numbers down, and treating deaths as preventable — not inevitable."
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Jun 27, 2022, at 7:02 PM
Leftau, you are good at pointing fingers!
Who do you suppose deserves being the subject of your finger pointing after promising to cure covid, before being elected over18 months ago? And he was given a couple of vaccines to work with by the way.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Jun 27, 2022, at 7:06 PM
They're all underway, except as you're well aware, the vaccination program was well underway until it ran into people who said they wouldn't get vaccinated because it might make Biden look good. There was plenty of vaccine available, but enough people refused to convert it into a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

Lefftau there is an outbreak in a facility locally for Assisted and Independent Living where you are required to have shots before being admitted, and all visitors are checked for temperatures' and required to wear masks when entering.

Biden is a lot like you Leftau, he has a tendency to let his mouth overload his hind end. Promising to stop the covid virus if he was elected was not conditional on what the citizenry does it was stated if the voters would elect him he would stop it.

Leftau, I am not confused in the least. I was just trying to help you adjust to the fact that winners are announced after the final votes are counted not losers.
You just seemed to have difficulty in accepting the fact that Trump won in 2016 and I was trying to help you. I understand your and the Democrats frustration at Trump having won over Clinton. It was in the bag, she was a sure thing, and it was her turn and she had been looking forward to it since she was a little girl. Then Trump defeats her and you have tried getting even with him since and continue to do so. So bad in fact that you selected a candidate with the likeability to win in 2020, just not the brain power to do the job.
That kind of hate is mentally unhealthy. As Ann Landers would say...... "Seek Counceling"!

Two-thirds of Americans say they think that former President Trump should be prosecuted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to a new poll.
Politico-Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday asked respondents if they believed Trump's efforts to overturn the last presidential election's results was a crime and that he should face prosecution.
Sixty-six percent of respondents said that they thought it was a crime and should be prosecuted, while 19 percent said it was not a crime and 18 percent said they thought it was a crime but Trump should not be prosecuted.
A majority of respondents also believed that Trump misled people in the country about the 2020 election outcome (57 percent), tried to overturn the 2020 election results (65 percent) and claimed fraud had been committed in the last election without evidence (64 percent).
The poll comes follows the latest hearing held by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

2.) Making up false stories has never worked, as Trump well knows.
Response: I do not know or care what Trump well knows. I think it is fair to say, your arrogance in pretending you know what another thinks is one of your major shortcomings.
3.) The oil companies had about 8000 leases they could have drilled on. There was no distribution limits placed.
Response: When Trump closed the building of the pipeline, he very definitely affected future distribution and was what I was referring to.
4.) The covid-19 "handouts" were proved by Congress. Bond sales covered the expense. Simply "printing money" is just one more of your fantasies.
Response: Prove what you just said. Borrowing money has the same effect. It was Biden's program and the fact the Democratic Congress ok'd it does not change the outcome.
5.) The border is not open.
Response: Oh really, how are these illegals coming in by the thousands? If it is not open then Biden is failing to protect it.
6.) The "Supreme Ruler" got busted when he failed in his insurrection to overturn a fair and honest election.
Response: Your opinion. Give me one example, where Biden acted as the Supreme Ruler.
I don't agree with Jan 6th. But he did not declare himself the Ruler. He contested the outcome, maybe he was right, maybe he was wrong. I do not know what was in his head, and, for all your mouth and pretending, neither do you.
You've probably been listening Mr. Schaefer too long.
Response: In spite of agreeing with Schaefer most of the time.... I do my own thing as I always have. Something you obviously cannot stand in another, as it is very obvious where your flawed reasoning originates from.

Mr. Braswell,
Who's responsible for what?
Your latest contribution is typical fox propaganda.
Take a few phrases out of context and repeat continuously. It just surprising that they didn't cut out the "federal lands" out of Biden's statements.
They put it on the air and expect their naive audience to accept it without skepticism and re-post it to other media like SO.
They were careful to ignore the 9000 leases currently in stages of approval. And that only about 10% of drilling and fracking takes place on federal land.
They also neglect to mention that oil and natural gas are finite resources and will be replaced in the long term which is what Biden seemed to be referencing.

"EXECUTIVE ORDER 7:
Revoke the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline and cancel other Trump administration energy rules
REVERSAL OF TRUMP ORDER
Biden revoked the presidential permit for the $8 billion Keystone XL pipeline that would have transported fossil fuels from Canada across the United States -- a project climate activists have protested for years. The order also directs federal agencies to start reversing and revising other Trump administration rules, including restoring protections and banning drilling in several national parks and national monuments and setting stricter emissions and fuel economy standards for vehicles."
And Leftau, I will post what I want where I want so long as I follow the Paper's rules and so long as you keep posting your Trump hatred all over the place.

Our Sec. of Transportation Mayor Pete is blaming the flght cancelations on the airlines when the truth is that the vaccine mandates caused early retirements of personnel and the firing of those who wouldn't take the shot are the cause....yep Biden shot himself in the foot again!
That high gas prices that Biden is blaming now on the oil/gas companies is covering up his War on The American Energy Industry from day one.
Increased American deaths due to the influx of drugs from an open Southern Border along with Thousands and Thousands of new Welfare Wards of the Taxpaers are the result of Biden's attempt to enlarge the Democrats voter base and dilute the Red States with these new down the road voters.
Yep Democrats keep blaming Trump while the Senile Demented Resident of the White House Nursing Home screws us all over!

More "Braswellian" selective recall.
It was never a trial.
McConnell refused a fully independent, bipartisan commission.
McCarthy refused to take part in a bipartisan House Select Committee.
The "defense" had complete freedom to participate through testifying under oath.
The republican committee members had full access to records.
Committee hearings were in public.
How the Committee members voted for impeachment is irrelevant, but probably beneficial to the nation.

The democrats made the proposal for the independent commission, similar to the 9/11 commission. Seems the republicans were clearly concerned with Trump's actions, so they wanted to ignore the issue.

Interesting, per Joe Rogan (whoever he is)...
Trump seems to have responded to Rogan's comments. A Twitter user shared a "screenshot" of what appears to be Trump's account on Truth Social. Trump referred to him as "Lyin' Joe Rogan" as he attempted to set the record straight. According to Trump, Rogan apparently asked the former president several times to come on the show, to which Trump says he replied "no." In true Trump fashion, he exclaimed Rogan would've been lucky to have "America's greatest President as a guest!"

More BS from Lettau! We have been down this road before and you were spanked before so I guess you will have to be again - you must like it!
House committees are made up of 9 members - 5 from the majority party and 4 from the minority party. Each leader in the House Pelosi and McCarthy picks their respective members for the committees. Pelosi would not allow 2 of McCarthy's choices (some rule or made up rule) so McCarthy countered with something like take something and shove it and then withdrew all of the Republicans from the committee. Queen Nancy then appointed 7 Democrats and the 2 RINOs (Republican In Name Only) Cheney and Kinzinger who had both voted to impeach Trump - nothing like stacking the deck - so thus was created the Fake Kangaroo J6 committee with a predetermined outcome against Trump.
But hey that's ok the Republicans will have their fun in Jan. 2023 when the tables are turned and then they will have control with all kinds of investigation committees for Biden, Obama, and Hillary....so in the meantime have fun Democrats!

The 9/11 commission was an independent bipartisan agency created by Congressional action.
The creation of a similar 1/6 commission was stymied by Senator McConnell and Representative McCarthy. The primary reason was very likely because of the extremely high probability that Trump was deeply involved.
The question remains, why would they go to such lengths to protect him.

Here’s the repetition of facts explicitly for the benefit of residents of Schaefer’s Fantasy World.
Inflation is not caused by nor dependent on Presidential actions.
The US Oil/Gas Industry is doing exceptionally well with record profits and about 9000 leases in various stages of exploitation.
The Southern border is not open.
Interest rates are adjusted to combat inflation.
There is no guarantee of any “forthcoming” recession.
The Afghan withdrawal resulted from Trump’s unilateral, unconditional surrender.
Energy reserves can be used when prices are high and replenished when prices are low.
Funds to Ukraine are specifically to combat Putin’s communist expansionism.
Public health vaccine mandates are not “unconstitutional.”
Baby formula supply is a private business function, not government controlled.
Covid deaths during the Biden administration were due to the pandemic of the unvaccinated, even while free shots were available to all Americans.
Airline cancellations are a function of and the responsibility of airline management.
When the residents of your fantasy world get educated, they’d be welcomed back to the real America.

One more opinion...
Answer from unknow contributor asking who was worse for you Trump or Biden?
“Trump’s tax bill saved me about $65, but I lost thousands in income thanks to his tariffs. His mishandling of Covid killed a few of my friends and family who parroted his paranoia and nonsense instead of taking sensible precautions. And I had friends and family cut me off completely because their cult programming said to isolate themselves from anyone who didn’t kneel before the great orange god. And I’m paying more for gas because of his idiotic two year deal with OPEC to slow production to raise prices.
“Biden got the country reopened despite a worsening global pandemic, but I never really slowed down, so I wasn’t personally affected that much. But thanks to record job creation and a demand for workers, my adult kids all got better paying jobs, so that’s a plus. I certainly rest better knowing nuclear codes aren’t being held by a thin-skinned childish narcissist. But really, that’s more just the world returning to normal post-Trump.
So I’ll have to say Trump, especially since we’re still suffering from the aftermath of his mistakes more than a year after he left office.”

From all appearances your thinking runs.... it is cloudy this afternoon, Trump screwed something up this morning. Sorry your thinking process is not broader than it is.

You do not tell me where I can or cannot post. If your tender feelings cannot take rebuttal perhaps you need to post your nonsense in a Forum for grade school children. So grow up and quit your whining. As I told you before, attack me, hide and wait. I will be around sooner or later. KAPEESH??

Just stick with real facts and You won't hear from me. If you don't and the time permits I will continue to point out your lies and BS and invite others to do likewise. I have never said I disagree with everything you post..... just about 99.9% of it.
And never, in all of the Presidential races I have watched, have I ever witnessed such vindictive BS as I have in Trump's defeat of Hillary Clinton.

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Jul 9, 2022, at 10:10 PM
"Where is this "vindictive BS?""
4 years of phony charges and investigations, none of which would hold water. A phony Russian Collusion investigation, prompted by a lie with Hillary Clinton's paid for lying report during the campaign. Carried out long after it was proven there was no wrong doing.
Chew on that for awhile Leftau.
Your final revenge on America was nominating and electing a brain dead man to our nation's highest office.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Jul 9, 2022, at 10:30 PM
"What's actual loser vindictiveness is trying to illegally overturn the results with a failed insurrection."
Leftau that statement is opinion as there has been no charges levied to that effect and no trial as it relates to Trump.
I do not personally believe it was a planned insurrection, a rally gone bad, for sure. I have never voiced my approval to what happened. A rally gone bad is what it appears to me to have been. Rallies are held for many reasons, I don't think many support and/or approve of the outcome on January 6th. But to say they went to Washington to take over the country by physical force is totally unrealistic. As I stated before, realistically the wrong doing was carried out by a very few compared to the number of people who were in attendance. I believe you will find in history the party who forcibly tried taking over the country by armed force a little over 100 years ago were actually Democrats.
But back to the current situation, this country is horribly divided and that began with Obama. Then when Trump defeated Hillary Cllinton the Democrats could not control their venom and have been after Trump ever since. Your hate filled thread is nothing but more of the same. It will take a very, very bad opposition candidate before I would ever throw my vote to someone as morally bankrupt as Hillary Clinton or someone as mentally unfit for the job as Joe Biden is.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Jul 9, 2022, at 11:38 PM
Sadly, you did. You threw your vote to someone more morally bankrupt than Clinton, recall the Hollywood access tapes, his bribery, 2 impeachments, the big lie and the insurrection.
Then you threw your vote to someone more mentally unfit than Biden, recall the narcissism, the inflated ego, the unconstrained spending, the pandemic management failure, kow-towing to Putin and Un, and the inability to accept the reality of defeat.

And Leftau, you confuse 0 personal shortcomings with ability to manage our country's business, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are neither personally infallible or businesslike. Both made their fortunes due to being in government. At least Trump came to office with his financial future well in hand.
The Clinton's Obama and Biden all made theirs from being a government employee.
And I know what is coming next, books and speaking engagements. Don't insult our intelligence. Paying a politician $100,000 for an hours stumblebutt speaking is nothing but payback for favors performed, and the joke of the century. Nobody is going to pay that kind of money to hear I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I, to infinity when his teleprompter fails.

Another factor that you avoid is that the government is operated for the benefit of the American people. It is not a profit making business.
In my opinion, the single greatest failing of the Trump administration is that he used his position to make money for Trump Inc.

Telling the truth as bout Trump is not "being vindictive."
Here is a lie to start with. The vindictiveness started in Nov 2016 and I don't expect it to stop any time soon. If the Democrats had run a candidate in 2016 instead of Broom Hilda, because it was her turn, we might not be having this conversation.
Communication was not then what it is now, but Trump bears a lot of resemblance to Harry Truman, not the money, but a big mouth. Harry owed his political prominence to a political machine, the Pendergast group for a kinder word, much like the Dailey gang from Chicago. Trump pushed his way to the top with the help of Democrats who he had to run against.
Now if you would like to compare Trump and his affection for women, he wouldn't hold a candle to Cigar Bill.
So a little reality on your part vs vengeance would be appropriate.
So far as cataloging your lies over the past few years, I don't have that time to waste, I am a full time caretaker to an ill spouse. Just be aware of future lies.

You are as full of it as a Christmas Goose Leftau. They both had a tendancy to let their mouth overload their backside. Something you are guilty of as well.
But no Trump did not have a Political Dynasty pushing him as Truman did and as most out of Chicago did. The biggest difference in Pendergast and Daily was the State and City where they were located.
Read up Leftau, you might learn something. And for your information, I liked a lot of what Truman did and stood for. Unlike you, there was no BS about him, he said what he thought and pretty much did what he said. While President he threatened to punch a Reporter for his article on his Daughter Margaret's piano playing.
And he did not go to Washington poor and come back a rich man. He went there poor and drove himself home when his term was over and he lived a modest existance thereafter.
Unlike the son of a foreigner who more recently occupied our White House under questionable citizenship and now lives in a multi-million dollar mansion on the water.

Leftau, you have no way to know what I have admitted or not admitted to others.
Show me where it is written that I am required to confess to you my feelings pro or con on anything.
So anything you presume to make a positive statement on what I have said or not said that I choose to keep to myself is a damnable lie. I will keep private what I feel is my business alone and discuss my feelings with those I trust only. You making a statement on it is a lie because you have no idea my thoughts and or who I have admitted what to.
Now try to lie your way out of it and dig yourself in a little deeper Water Boy!
What is correct Leftau, I have not enough respect for you to give you the satisfaction of knowing my true feelings, but saying I refuse to admit or deny anything is none of your business and a lie! There are others and then there is myself that I owe my feelings to, you are not among them!

Leftau, I thought some more about this and thought I might remind you that morals and ethics did not quite coincide with the Pendergast connection. Guess you didn't read that eh? Or is it ok because they were Democrats as well as being of questionable ethics?
And narcissist? Guess having his own private elevator installed in a public hotel doesn't count huh? Who do you think might have received the bill for that little installation. After all it had to be cheap it only served the suite on the 10th floor.

Mr. VanGennip,
You should be aware that Mitt Romney had been a republican candidate for president, and Liz Cheney was the third highest ranking leader in the House.
They were clearly not "RINO's back then. So their conservatism and republican credentials were totally embraced by your pre-Trump party.
I'd go so far as to suggest that you probably supported both. So what changed? Romney and Cheney or the "republican" party of Trump?

Leftau, I was sorely disappointed in Romney as a candidate. He was a weak candidate and responsible for Obama winning re-election. Yes I believe he is what you would like to see in all competition to Democrats. Weak!
And I truly believe you would tout anyone who didn't support Trump.

Leftau, you have your head so far up the dark side of the Democratic Party, you wouldn't recognize a real Republican if you saw one.

Resident Biden wasting taxpayers' money flying over to Saudi Arabia to beg for more oil production from a country that he condemned during the 2020 campaign.

If there were any validity to these conspiracy theories, don't you believe that the Trump DOJ would have looked for proof of crimes.
Wonder why the didn't indict the Bidens? Think it might be because there was nothing there.
The 1.9% of the oil that may have ended up in China could have been sold by any company. Again, if you have proof of crimes, put it out there.

Leftau, because I just saw the information last night, that is why. Unlike you, I don't imagine something happened before I know about it. The information came up and I read it.
Believe it or not Leftau, when Obama arrived on the scene at first, I thought the Democrats had someone worthwhile in Obama. It did not take long when he started running for President with little to no credentials for the job to find out that we were looking at a hollow shell being sponsored by one of America's biggest enemies, George Soros.
He is what he is, a big dividerer, a man with no credentials and someone I have no respect for and could not vote for.
Does that explain how I analyize the man?

'Fuming' Trump is badgering friends about how the Jan. 6 hearings are 'playing out' for him: CNN
Raw Story - 6h ago By Tom Boggioni
On CNN's "New Day," correspondent Kristin Holmes reported that Donald Trump has been "riveted" by the televised hearings being conducted by the House select committee looking into the Jan 6th insurrection and that he has been badgering friends and aides about how he is coming across in them.
Speaking with host John Berman, Holmes also stated that Trump's inner circle is worried he is obsessing over the hearings when they would prefer that he be concentrating on the upcoming midterm elections.
"Trump is always watching, we are told, riveted, according to new CNN reporting," host Berman began. "Trump was particularly angry after hearing his former staffers and White House counsel."

"(CNN)A group of conservatives, including prominent lawyers and retired federal judges, issued a 72-page report on Thursday categorically rebutting each of the claims made in court by former President Donald Trump and his supporters over the 2020 election results.
"The report, "LOST, NOT STOLEN: The Conservative Case that Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election," looked at more than 60 court cases Trump and his supporters filed and lost in six key battleground states. It reached the "unequivocal" conclusion that the former Republican president's claims were unsupportable -- which Trump's own Department of Homeland Security as well as election officials nationwide debunked days after the 2020 election.
"The report was released as the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol has been holding public hearings that have connected Trump's involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election to the attack that disrupted Congress from certifying Joe Biden's victory. Trump is considering an early 2024 presidential run announcement, CNN has previously reported.
"There is absolutely no evidence of fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election on the magnitude necessary to shift the result in any state, let alone the nation as a whole. In fact, there was no fraud that changed the outcome in even a single precinct," the report says.
"The report is signed by retired federal appeals court judges Thomas B. Griffith, J. Michael Luttig and Michael W. McConnell, former Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson, former US Sens. John Danforth and Gordon H. Smith, longtime Republican election lawyer Benjamin L. Ginsberg and veteran Republican congressional chief of staff David Hoppe. Several of them are longtime Trump critics.
"Even now, twenty months after the election, a period in which Trump's supporters have been energetically scouring every nook and cranny for proof that the election was stolen, they come up empty. Claims are made, trumpeted in sympathetic media, and accepted as truthful by many patriotic Americans. But on objective examination they have fallen short, every time," the report says."

Leftau, so your ignorance of the American system is manifested for all of us to read. If he was proven guilty, he would have been removed from office. As it was, he didn't leave office 10 minutes early. The lack of the required quorum to remove him from office, says innocent of the charge, not guilty. And there is nothing you can say or do that will change that.
Funny you would spout such drivel. You are like the rest of the Democratic Party your lust for vengenance is pathetic.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Jul 14, 2022, at 8:17 PM
Try to understand what went on. Impeachment is not a criminal proceeding. The Senate operates on two levels, both as jury and as Judge in a sentencing capacity.
As jury they vote guilty or not guilty. In the judicial capacity they pronounce sentence if 67% opt for removal.
In both of Trump's impeachments, which alone is a total disgrace, he was determined to be guilty by a bipartisan majority.
The remaining Senators, most of whom admitted Trump was guilty, decided to not remove him from office.
In the first Impeachment the "excuse" used was the the crime of bribery was not that bad, and in the second it was that he had already been "fired" by the American people.
One would think that you'd have tired long ago of unsuccessfully defending him.

Leftau you misstated that. I am not defending him, I am stating facts. If there was an honest man or woman in the Dmocratic members of the Senate at least one would have voted not guilty. It was a partisan Democratic lynching party, nothing more and nothing less.
I believe you will find in our system it takes a given majority, which can vary depending on the charges, to convict anyone. Donald Trump was no different. Innocent until proven guilty and the Democratic Lynch Mob could not get the votes to accomplish their mission. Get over it, your mission to seek vengenace will eat you up. Impeachment by a partisan mob seeking vengenace is nothing more than a trumped up indictment and is meaningless without a conviction. What differnece do you find in a united Republican Senate with the exception of a few renegades who had a feud with the man do you find than in a united Democratic House who are after blood.
It is the Bill Clinton Impeachment all over again, SSDD just a reversal in the roles played. And Clinton was truly guilty but the Democrats in the Senate united and saved his sorry ***.

"Try to understand what went on. Impeachment is not a criminal proceeding. The Senate operates on two levels, both as jury and as Judge in a sentencing capacity."
Leftau I understand the impeachment process perfectly and know that the man was not proven guilty as the law requires so he remained in office until his term expired.
It is you who are having problems getting your head wrapped around it. The Democrats were hell bent on finding something to punish Trump with and the Republicans prevented it from happening.
The Democrats wasted 4 years with lawyering and investigating and wound up empty handed. And they were dead set on getting their vengenance on the man for defeating Hillary Clinton.
Desperate to the point that they nominated a man for President that they felt could win, to hell with his ability to govern in a manner to make America Proud in fron of the worlds.
What an embarrassment!

Guilt of what Leftau?
I would like you to show me a guiltfree politician. Or any man or woman for that matter. You like to spout things you have no proof of, what does that make you guilty of.
Let the totally innocent man toss the first stone.
A question for you Lefftau, do you think Joe Biden is a guilt free man? How about that little incident of him having used taxpayer funds to bribe a foreign government official and then bragging about it, what was he guilty of? Why isn't that sanctimonious bunch of Democrats with Fancy Nancy as their leader not impeacing him for that. And they have the majority in the the Senate to convict him as well.
Come on Leftau you want to assess guilt, let's not be so selective of it!
And try explaining how pointing out your lies makes me a defender of Trump. All I have done is point out your lies and try to educate you on how impeachment reaally works and why our founders set things up to try and prevent simple railroading by requiring a certain level of votes to find a President guilty and removable from the office that the voters elected him/her to. A finger pointing by political enemies does not make a President guilty of anything. Four years of trying and wasting of time and money to satisfy a political vendetta does not make anyone guilty of anything.
Let it go Leftau, the Democrats failed in their goal to remove Trump from the office he was elected to even 10 minutes before his term ended.
Judge not lest thee be judged Leftau, is a wise saying.
One more thing, I think the Democrats are about to be judged by the voters come November for their dereliction of duty by putting a mentally tainted man in office simply because they thought he could win. Governing be damned!
Sorry one more thing, what was Hillary Clinton guilty of when she bought and paid for the fictious Trump/Russian collusion report she used in her campaign and the Democrats investigated from top to bottom and accused, accused, accused after she lost. How much wasted taxpayer time and money went into that failed CF Leftau?

Recall the "perfect" phone call, but first I want you to do a favor (i.e. make up dirt on Biden.)
Recall his tweet calling supporters to Washington, January 6th, be there, it will be wild, and if you don't fight, you won't have a country.
Even, all I need you to do is "find" 11780 votes, 1 more than I need to win.
Third, nothing was wasted on Trump investigations, he was guilty on his own admission.
Fourth, what was wasted was the senseless, unnecessary hearings on Bengazi. Nothing was revealed in the hearings that wasn't known before. It made Jordan and company look foolish and totally incompetent.

More fruitless VanGennip attempts to make excuses for Trump.
No other candidate (probably ever) declared 6 months prior to the election that the only way he could lose would be if the election was rigged.
Or started massive "stop the steal" rallies (while Trump himself was plotting to overturn the legal election.)
No other candidate instigated an insurrection to stop the Congressional electoral college vote counting.
No other candidate lost about 60 court cases with faked or non-existent evidence.
Trump is the single-most corrupt individual that occupied the oval office for a least a hundred or more years.
No one comes close.

I made no excuses for anyone Leftau, just showing a trend. You seem to want to keep history alive so I was just trying to help you. I was merely showing you a trend that needs to be stopped.
So far as thinking they are a winner in any election, why does any candidate run for office. Surely not because they think they are a loser. Remember, Hillary has been dreaming of being President since she was a little girl.
Trump destroyed that dream and you Democrats haven't forgiven him or worked with him since.
What did you call 4 years of Obstruction that continues to this day. Lies , lies and more lies were the rule of the day just get Trump.
My vote was against two losers the Dims ran in a row. Find a candidate worthy of the office of you want my vote. I think many Americans are tired of voting for the best of the worst. You win one and you lose one.

Nobody said anything of the sort Leftau.
Just trying to help you since it takes an extraordinary effort to get anything to penetrate your thick skull unless it is anti Trump.
I never excused any of them, just trying to show where things are leading unless they are changed. We unfortunately have about 2 1/2 years of the current mistake to tolerate yet. What he is doing to retired peoples safety net is unforgivable.
You better look for a 2nd part time job.
An example for you....
The new Ford 1964 Galaxy 500 fully equipped that I purchased had a sticker price of $3838 on it.
Today a similarily equipped Ford would be closer to the $45,000.00 range.
Minimum wage was $1.25 per hour range. Today minimum wage is about $15 per hour.
Both about 12 times more.
However how do your savings on $1.25 per hour stack up to the $15 range. Experienced earners should have had earnings with about the same spread. Inflation is a terrible tax on the most vulnerable.
Most retired people's savings, investments and Social Security payments do not add up to today's increased costs.
And people are living longer. I know people in their 90's and they are feeling the Democrat's inflation.

Another example of narrow minded compulsive "thinking."
Of course President Biden is totally responsible for causing fuel prices to increase and for the related inflation.
Supply and demand have nothing to do with it.
The oil cartels have nothing to do with it.
Putin's terrorism against Ukraine has nothing to do with it.
China trade policies have nothing to do with it.

Then he release some of our strategic supply and sells it to China. Through a company connected to his kid by the way.

Perhaps you didn't recognize sarcasm.
Furthermore, President Biden did not cut supply (could be just something you made up) with about 9000 leases in various stages of implementation.
Oil that was released went through US oil companies, them selling about 5 million barrels out of about 280 million barrels was their choice, not the President's.

Accuse me all you want, I am merely stating what happened and where the Buck Stops. Got it?
Biden couldn't handle the office he should never have thrown his hat into the ring!
I repeat, you would be calling for Trump's head if he would have shown this kind of incompetence that we and the rest of the world have witnessed since Biden took office.
What am I talking about you still are calling for his head and he has been out of office for the past 1 1/2 years.
America needs unity not more division.
So far as his having nothing to do with it check one of his executive orders within hours of taking office. You know the other one, not the one opening up the border to hordes of illegals.

Leftau, you seem to be having a problem finding the information on Biden's hitting our reserves. Hope this fills the void in your abilities. You are welcome!
"The emergency reserves of oil that are in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve are designed for international crises or for natural disasters, instead of being used for mitigating bad energy policy as Biden is doing. Some have suggested that he has transformed the SPR into the “Strategic Political Reserve,” implying his sales are political responses to his aggressive assaults against domestic energy production. With Biden supplying global oil markets with U.S. oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, he is depleting our oil reserves and hurting U.S. national security, while China is adding to its national reserves by buying SPR oil from Biden’s Department of Energy and by also buying cheap oil from Russia."

Your 10:33 post today said that we sold our oil to overseas markets. That's true for only a small percentage. That's one more thing you seem to be having trouble with.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Jul 17, 2022, at 4:47 PM
Not having any problem with it at all Leftau, I know what he sold. Who authorized him to take oil from out strategic supplies to help out foreign countries. What happened to the balance of it, Doesn't seemed to have done a lot to lower the prices.
And his executive orders over the first hundred days, enough to blow your mind. Makes wonder when he was appointed the Supreme Ruler.
He makes all of these changes alone and then people like Leftau wonder why the country is in such pitiful shape with fuel prices more than double since he went into office, we have the highest inflation rate in 40 years.
All made by a man who will not take a cognitive test because I truly believe even he knows he couldn't pass one. Cannot even read a telepromter speech written by others intelligentyly.
What a winner the Democrats hung around our neck this time!

If you believe the President Biden is solely, fully and personally responsible for the levels of inflation and gas prices, you're totally within your rights, and totally wrong.

Yeah Leftau, just terrible, $2 per gallon gasoline instead of $4+ and a bit over 1% instead of 40 year high inflation at nearing 10%.
Just terrible that we wouldn't have an ever increasing cost of living eroding the savings of older retired folks.

Don't know why you are so ashamed of being a Leftist Liberal Democrat if you lean that way.
I am Conservative in my views and proud of it! Not ashamed at all to admit it. And I will vote accordingly. Although we at times are required to vote for the best of the worst that have any chance to win. In other words we vote against someone rather than for them.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Jul 19, 2022, at 12:59 PM
Again Mr. VanGennip, you're making up stories again.
I don't know what "leftist liberal democrat" means, and have less of an idea of what you might think it is.
If it's a strongly patriotic American, in favor of equal treatment for all, with support for smaller government and reduced government spending, while maintaining democratic and Constitutional standards. I favor individual rights and choice in various areas. Short term government assistance and support for civil rights can should be provided. The government including all three branches should work for the good of all Americans, not just one party or political ideology.
As for your "position" I could easily describe you as a "rightist conservative republican" political hack.
If you were a true conservative you would be strongly supporting Cheney instead of Trump.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Jul 19, 2022, at 2:30 PM

You need any more explanations on equal treatment Leftau. I have never drawn an unemployment check in my life and I am in my 80's.
Stood in line to get a takeout at a restaurant not long ago to be told we are closed, no one to cook in the kitchen. Why do they need to work because I am paying taxes to support their welfare checks.
You need any more explanations on Liberal and Conservative beliefs, Leftsau. I believe in helping those who are unable to take care of themselves and fully supportive of letting an able bodied ******* starve if he doesn't want to work like I did all of my life.

One able bodied man drawing any kind of publice assistance is too much when jobs go begging Leftau and I do not know the number who are doing so, but there is definitely more than one.
If you are able bodied and can work, you should be working as long as any job is begging. I do not care if it is below your education or job qualifications.
I worked in a dirty smelling paint department in a factory for $1 per hour in 1956. I worked in a foundry. I pumped gas and I washed cars, all jobs below my education level, but they allowed me to eat, and I did not have to take someone else's tax dollars to do it. I have never been too proud to make my way in any honest job that would pay me something.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Jul 19, 2022, at 6:06 PM

Leftau you may call it whining and moaning. You certainly know about that. I do not look at that particular item as whining. I told you one is too many living off the system shen they should be contributing just as I have always done. But in reality, while I use my time to keep earning from my desk, I do not believe for one minute it is only one and I do not have the time to **** away doing something our government should be controlling. It is many and we should all be concerned about it. I despise debeats. And I am not ashamed to admit it. Leftau I paid way more in Real estate, Personal Property and Income Taxes last year than some people make because they won't apply themselves, and I am sick and tired of it.

As of last year of the top 10 states receiving various government benefits, 8 were red states. Of the 10 states getting least support, 7 were blue states.
All that seems to show is that republicans are good at milking the government.

Mr. Braswell's charts show some Americans receiving some support at various times.

Here are some interesting statistics for you Leftau, %9 Million people on welfare of close to 20% of our population. That means that 8 out of 10 people are feeding themselves and the the other 2 remaining.
The number of people on welfare in the US is 59 million.
There are 6 major welfare programs in the US.
Four out of ten people in the US have been part of a welfare program for over 3 years.
Nearly 50% of Americans believe government spending on social security needs to be increased.
US taxpayers have paid more than $22 trillion for welfare programs over the course of 50 years.
An estimated 20% of people in the US are supported by Medicaid.
In 2019, for every 100 families in poverty, only 23 received cash assistance from TANF.
Almost 73% of TANF recipients in the US are children.
USDA tapped $5 million from federal funds to investigate SNAP fraud.
General Stats
Let’s see what stats have to say:
#1 The number of people on welfare in the US is 59 million.
(Urban Institute)
That’s roughly 19% of the US population and this includes individuals who use safety net programs, according to an analysis conducted by the Urban Institute in 2019. That’s before the world was hit by the pandemic that shattered the financial well-being of many around the globe.

Needing a hand up on occasion is necessary for some Americans.
The percent of Americans paying no federal tax are paying sales taxes, property taxes (directly or through rent), social security and Medicare taxes, some form of state and local taxes.
Hard to tell what that equates to but it's well over zero.

Several comments for Mr. VanGennip to think about…
Consider the potential ramifications of Trump winning in 2020 or if his illegal insurrection had succeeded.
Since he had already surrendered to the Taliban and planned to remove all US troops in January 2021, he would very likely abandoned all of our Afghan allies and left them on their own. The same could have happened to US civilians.
His mismanagement of the Covid pandemic would have continued failing to distribute vaccines to all Americans and other nations. This would have extended the pandemic and further undermined the world economy.
Trump’s partiality toward and veneration of Putin would have allowed Russia to invade and destroy Ukraine by preventing full NATO participation in supporting the Ukrainian military. His resistance to NATO Article 5 could have encouraged Putin to invade Lithuania to open a corridor to Koenigsberg.
His continued imposition of tariffs on China would have expanded and deepened to the supply chain crisis and decreased the supply of consumer goods in the US, thereby inflating costs.
Oils supplies from Saudi Arabia were decreased by Trump’s threat to cut off military equipment, coupled with decreased demand aggregated by the Covid pandemic, would increase fuel costs world wide.
Trump’s inability to accept rational advice from his "advisors" would create a Cabinet of “yes-men” or women which only told him what he wanted to hear, not what he needed to hear.
These are the kind of actions rational Americans feared from a second Trump term.

Rick S.,
"...The Biden Administration Agenda is too make the burden even heavier."
I don't really see how he is doing that. Right now, wages are up, unemployment is down, jobs are available seemingly everywhere, and gas prices are going down. Even inflation, which is a worldwide problem (not created by Biden) is less in the US than in Europe.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Jul 20, 2022, at 7:27 AM
The facts are Leftau, prices are up, inflation is soaring since Jan of 2021 and people are being paid to sit on their *** at home instead of working.
Unemployment numbers are phony as you are not considered unemployed if you are not seeking employment.
And this is really ridiculous....
"Trump’s partiality toward and veneration of Putin would have allowed Russia to invade and destroy Ukraine by preventing full NATO participation in supporting the Ukrainian military."
Boy it's really good the Russians didn't invade Ukraine!
Oh wait they did invade Ukraine!
Now let me see, who was President when that happened? Oh yeah it was Biden. Yep it was Trump's fault!
And who was President when the Afghan pullout happened and was such a disaster? Biden. Yep it was Trump's fault!
Oh who was the candidate for President while the Covid Epimec was waging who said elect me I will stop it. Yep Bid again. It still rages on a year and a half later. It's Trump's fault again.
I am not defending Trump just pointing out a few shortcomings in Leftau's defense of everything Biden.
It's a good thing Leftau is not or has not ever been a Democrat!
Won't even admit his Liberal Leftist leanings.

Now this is ridiculous.
Accusing Trump plan, one of surrender and suggesting what could happen.
And then Biden takes office and almost immediately does what Leftau says would happen under Trump. In a disastrous poorly planned way.
My question, if Trump’s plan was all wrong, why did Biden try to carry it out and fail so magnificently?
Where was his Executive Order here? He has been most proliferate in canceling anything else Trump did to try and erase Trump from history.
Could it be that recognizing Biden's first big failure in trying to follow in Trump’s footsteps the Democrats are having Trump’s tracks wiped out before Biden proves once again he is not up to the task of carrying anything out responsibly? Just a question. Maybe we can just sit on our hindsides and do nothing for 4 years and nobody will notice?

The Taliban won on the day that Trump threw the Afghan government out of the "peace" negotiation.
Letting a car sit for a year doesn't cost anything.
The US population sitting for a year doesn't keep them from buying food, paying rent or mortgages, paying back loans/credit cards, paying tuition, paying for at home entertainment, etc.
The covid-19 money was likely excessive, but letting Americans live broke for a year or two would have been worse.

Deficit mindset indeed. I know very few people if any that would not have made it without a couple of grand being stuffed into their checing account for them during the Covid epidemic. I know very few people who were not trained by good parents to put money aside for a rainy day.
The mindset I am concerned with on the political side is, how many votes will that money we are handing out buy.
And I have no problem with a handup on an individual selective basis. It is the handouts that concern me that are more of a vote buying venture than care for people.
And I do not mind the paying of taxes for infrastructure based on what we are paying annually normally. But ******* all of our taxes away on people who will NOT work just to buy votes while roads and bridges decay irritate the hell out of me. And that is where the Democrats fit. Leftau can come out with that BS that they are caring, and they care for people. Bull ****. Why are they letting all of these people over run us right now if they cared about those here. It is to add more Democrats to the voting roles, that is what it is far. You can see through that like a screen door.
The American people are being trained to be weak in their thinking. That you cannot get by without Big Brother government to look after you. In the end that kind of thinking winds people up with Totalitarian Governments running every facet of their lives.
What happened to the spirit of adventure that brought our forefathers here for a better life that they could build on their own. We are destroying that in people by giving them the idea that they are worthless and helpless and must have money taken from those that will work to distribute to those who will NOT work.
I am 100% for the free spirited people willing to stick their necks out and take chances rather than making them work for what they get. In the process these self styled do gooders are letting our country down by making us weaker.
And lest someone gets on their high horse and decides to tell me I do not care about people. I do, very much so.

Leftau, the vast majority of Americans, roughly 80% are not on welfare and are responsible citizens. And your fairly certain means nothing. You only want to think and try to make us believe that the real deadbeats in the country are not getting every penny they can out of the system that vote buying politicians are giving away.

As of last year of the top 10 states receiving various government benefits, 8 were red states. Of the 10 states getting least support, 7 were blue states.
All that seems to show is that republicans are good at milking the government.

Leftau, you do understand what you reported here is virtually meaningless for your intended purpose I hope
You do understand that Government Benefits includes Social Security Payments I would hope. Stands tor reason your reporting then because there are more people receiving greater amounts of Social Security in Red States because they paid in more. That would be my approach to slanting it.
Since you have not bothered to filter it out to welfare your little report is worthless.

The response to that would be yes in way too many cases.
Some words of advice if heeded can do wonders for helping people in becoming self sufficent. When starting my small business from scratch I had a couple of mentors who really helped me stay on track.
From separate sources I received some well thought out advice that only took a couple of words to give.
1.) One business owner said, if you are smart you will learn early, you cannot live out of the cash register. What is yours is only that which is left after you pay all of your bills each month. At times that was precious little left upon getting started but we heeded the advice..
2.) Another told me You cannot borrow your way out of debt. He said further, Lord knows I tried and when I woke up I nearly never recovered from it. Borrow wisely.
Those two people with just a few simple words each gave me some valuable advice to ponder.
What I wonder, if the government ever thought about requiring some ongoing counciling for those seeking welfare to help put them on the right track instead of just handing out money, that comes from other hard working citizens.
True caring for people is not just handing them a check each month and thinking you have really done something for humanity. Those people on the receiving end cannot get a lot of self-satisfaction and pride out of handouts. How many times have you heard people say I did this, or I did that on showing you something that they are proud of having accomplished? Only ignorance would cause some one to feel proud out of taking and spending the hardworked for money of others.
The above describes my feelings for the Democratic Party and their vote buying ways of handing out freebees to citizens. They are cheating people out of their dignity for their vote and a paltry amount of money that is not their own to give. All the while cheating the taxpayers who are funding them and their giveaways.

"...and their vote buying ways of handing out freebees to citizens."
Apparently the democrats are raw amateurs. Here's how the professional vote buyers do it.
"In an attempt to help many parents who are struggling due to inflation, Governor Ron DeSantis has sent out $450 for each child parents have in school.
"The letter, many Floridians have received reads “To offset the costs of rising inflation, especially with a new school year approaching, the State of Florida is giving you $450 for each child in your care,” and at the bottom, it’s signed Governor Ron DeSantis."
Never mentioned is that the funds came from the Biden's American Rescue Plan.

Leftau, that is peanuts to what Biden handed out in the $1000 deposits to people's accounts. And what happens in Floriday has no direct effect on me as I have no financial interest in that state.
Learn to read and to understand what you read and quit mixing Federal Issues with State issues. Republicans don't hold a candle to Democrats vote buying Leftau.
And please learn a little about where money comes from.......
"the funds came from the Biden's American Rescue Plan."
No Leftau, the funds came from the wallets of the American Taxpayers.
And another thing, what would you have had trhe Governor do with the funds that came out of our taxes.
Or if this money didn't come out of our pockets now it will if the money is borrowed. And if it was just printed we are all going to pay again in the form of inflation.
Biden gave nothing away Leftau, America did.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Jul 21, 2022, at 4:02 PM
I agree that ultimately the money had come from Americans.
There is no reason for DeSantis to have signed the checks, other than to delude people into believe it was coming from him.
Recall that Trump have wanted to put his signature on covid-19 relief checks. When the Treasuy Department would not allow that, he made sure a letter with his signature went to recipients.
Regardless of your opinion, "vote buying" is a bipartisan industry. Republicans are actually better at it because they also use "unfunded" tax cuts to solicit political donations and votes.

I know what is going on, and also how a bipartisan Congressional approved Comprehensive Immigration Reform law could resolve the majority of these issues.
I'm sure you realize that if a legal immigrant wants to apply for citizenship today and is approved, he will not be able to vote until the 2027 or 2208.
Do you really believe that today's republican party is so inept, partisan, xenophobic and committed to "white supremacy" that they would be totally unable to attract to legal votes of these new legal citizens?

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jul 21, 2022, at 6:33 PM
Leftau, your idea of immigration is to open the gates to a bunch of people who will not fight poverty to make their lives better in their own country. They are not dumb, they know if they can get here that we will end up supporting them and educating their children. Why tell me is that good for our country? If you are a European seeking to migrate to our country you are required to apply, apply, apply for a permanent Visa, then you have t have your name drawn in a lottery to get a visa because we are very stingy with them and only allow a given number per year in. Additionally you have to shown you have the wherewithal to support yourself. Then you get here and you are immediately required to get aa Social Security Card and I have forgotten the last item that was job related. I know this because a distant cousin from Holland finally had her name drawn in the lottery and now has a permanent VISA. That after many years of waiting. She is educated with money in her account and an asset to our society not a liability. I personally escorted her around to get all of her documentation taken care of. Next to gain citizenship she has more hurdles to jump through. Yet dimwitted people like yourself think we should change our laws to let people in that are going to be nothing but a Liability to our Society.
The problems on the Southern Border are not new. I was in the South Texas area 25 years ago and listenig to the problems of the Wetbacks crossing the river under cover of darkness. But it has been the current administration who have done absolutely the worst job of handling it for the sake of Americans, and please don't come up with that simple minded BS of wooing them to a party for voters.

First I will say, I pay little attention to conspiracy theories. Theories generated by fringe groups are mostly dreamed up malarkey.
But I could see where the Democrat's trying to flood the country with illegals at the Southern Border could lead to that kind of talk. Hauling all of these untested illegals all over the country and dumping them is certainly a big contradiction to Biden's attempt to mandate a vaccination for Covid, undergo regular testing or loose your job attempt. It certainly should raise a lot of questions and create distrust toward Democrats in a lot of camps.

The world will have to adjust to buying at today's inflated prices.

If the People as I know you refer to them, had the lack of intelligence and common sense that a terrible amount of modern day Americans have, it would have been no problem for the Europeans to overrun the country, there would have been no Injuns to be concerned with. You would have long since perished.
I have nothing but respect for those people to have created what they didhaving what they had to work with at the time.
Too many people I see today, I believe if you took them 5 miles out of town dropped them off and stole their shoes, they would perish before they made it to the city limits sign.
We have created a society of dependents for the most part. Comes back to that giving a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and you create a life of independence instead of waiting for the next handout.
The prime difference between a Liberal and a Conservative.
I believe in the teaching and making a person a proud independent rather than a groveling, bowed over dependent!

Maybe this had something to do with it...
"President Trump entered the White House with the goal of reducing legal immigration by 63 percent. Trump was wildly successful in reducing legal immigration. By November 2020, the Trump administration reduced the number of green cards issued to people abroad by at least 418,453 and the number of non‐immigrant visas by at least 11,178,668 during his first term through November 2020.
President Trump also entered the White House with the goal of eliminating illegal immigration but Trump oversaw a virtual collapse in interior immigration enforcement and the stabilization of the illegal immigrant population. Thus, Trump succeeded in reduce legal immigration and failed to eliminate illegal immigration.
The difference now is that immigrants at the Mexican border are legally allowed to enter when they have a valid case to bring before an immigration judge. That's not Biden, that's the US law that Trump violated.

I figured it out Leftau, In spite of his mouth and other issues I did not really care for, Trump turned over a stable economy to Biden and Biden screwed it up. But I knew that long ago. My 401K has been stable for a good number of years and during different administrations. It took Biden a very short time to screw up our economy and our savings for the future. Of course we can wait for the 401K to come back because for the most part those that have them were not hand to mouth dependents of the government. But to a thinking person, when you see some things more than double in price and others increase drastically, while inflation hits with a 40-year high while it was near nonexistent, and it all coincides with a change of administration from Republican to Democrat, what should we think? I can tell you what this Conservative thinks. he thinks it will be a cold day in hell before he ever votes for someone with a ******* for their political emblem again. But he does recognize the emblem fits!
And Leftau, if your look it up yourself had anything to do with the number of people dying of Covid being 90% unvaccinated, I think you are as full of it as a Christmas Goose, and it is just a Democrat talking point you dutifully babble on about. If you had any verification for the statement, you would produce it. So I will just consider it another of your lies or to put it nicely, a manufactured fact.

Mr. VanGennip,
There are two links to the CDC data, which is what you asked for.
As I wasn't sure if you could Wade through the numbers, I made it simple for you.
An unvaccinated rate of 1.71 plus a vaccinated rate of 0.22 equals a total of 1.93. Therefore the percentage of unvaccinated deaths is 1.71 divided by 1.93 is just under 90%.
Understand now?

Or 88.6% if you want to be picky. I would not expect you to beg for more help or information.

Leftau, you pulled up limks to the CDC. I see nothing you claimed as numbers to some vague happening. You are the one making claims, not me. I have no obligation to lift a finger to help your claims
I want to see the CDC page and time as I would not take your word for the direction of sunset without proof. I have see too much false reporting from your camp to take your word for anything. Where is the words prooving your statements?

Leftau, I am reasonably good with numbers, but results produced with phony numbers are worthless. You either have valid numbers or you made them up.... which is it?
Leftau if you didn't pull those numbers out of thin air you would gladly produce the source. Since you refuse to do that I am assuming you made them up. Which makes them useless.
And Biden's promise/lie was NOT p conditional on who took shots. He said he would stop it. He lied because it was outside of his ability to do so.
And it is not my fault you cannot produce your source.
You're exposing your failure in front of all. And that is again not my area of responsibility.
So either prove what you said or stand exposed as a fraud.

I have never thought receiving the shots would not lower my chances of getting the virus. That is why I received my shots. However. It was still in the back of my mind. This is largely untested.
Still never saw your numbers in there Leftau. So I think your numbers were pulled from the same place the Leftists get their Gender numbers.... Uranus.
But you worked hard to try and find a link.
Still doesn't explain the death numbers under Trump’s Presidency with literally no vaccine up until the end, because it was not approved and tested vs Biden's term with a vaccine starting to be distributed before he took office and he promised he would stop it if elected.
The vaccines were developed and produced by Scientists quickly because the Trump Administration made it possible by removing a lot of red tape and stumbling blocks.
So, Joe, why isn't the virus gone 1 1/2 years after you took office?

No Leftau, you are lying about the staying out of the wqy. Trump did cause his administration to stay out of the way and the already created beauacricy as well, all to his credit because it gave Scientists room to explore and develope a vaccine in record time. A vaccine by the way that Biden tried to grab credit for. The distribution was just getting ramped up when Trump left office and Biden tried to claim credit for that as well.
Are you ready to admit Biden lied when he promised he could cure covid?
So far as the bleaching dinking, that came from the far right which I rank right up there with the far left. The horse medicine, the same thing. That had nothing to do with the Trump Administration.
And if you would stick a little closer to facts I would not have to even considering ranking you in defference to that Bible Quote you stumbled around with.

It appears Trump was implying “injection” rather than “ingestion” but he may not have known the difference,
“His comments came after William Bryan, the undersecretary for science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security, presented a study that found sun exposure and cleaning agents like bleach can kill the virus when it lingers on surfaces.
"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."

The vaccine development was not some earth-shattering, monumental event that was only successful in 2020 because of Trump. It’s been in development for over 20 years.
Army's Pan-Coronavirus Vaccine Shows Promise in Early Trials (uspharmacist.com)
"The accelerating emergence of human coronaviruses throughout the past two decades and the rise of SARS-CoV-2 variants, including most recently Omicron, underscore the continued need for next-generation preemptive vaccines that confer broad protection against coronavirus diseases," noted Kayvon Modjarrad, MD, PhD, director of the Emerging Infectious Diseases Branch at WRAIR, coinventor of the vaccine and the U.S. Army lead for SpFN. "Our strategy has been to develop a "pan-coronavirus" vaccine technology that could potentially offer safe, effective and durable protection against multiple coronavirus strains and species."
“The preclinical studies were published in Science Translational Medicine. They suggested that the SpFN vaccine protects nonhuman primates from disease caused by the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 while inducing highly potent and broadly neutralizing antibody responses against major SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, including the SARS-CoV-1 virus that emerged in 2002.”

Biden Claims Too Much Credit for Decline in COVID-19 Deaths - FactCheck.org
Here’s an extract from the above link...
“That doesn’t mean Biden’s COVID-19 policy was less effective than Trump’s. For starters, coronavirus deaths didn’t start to emerge in large numbers until April 2020, so this is a comparison of nearly nine months under Trump with 17 months under Biden. As we have written, Trump regularly downplayed the risks of COVID-19, and former White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx has said better early mitigation efforts could have “decreased substantially” the number of deaths. Biden did credit Trump in December 2021, saying, “Thanks to the prior administration and our scientific community, America was one of the first countries to get the vaccine.”
----- ---- --- -- -
Fact check US: Can Joe Biden 'stop the virus' in the US as he claims? (theconversation.com)
“On November 9, Biden announced that he had created a task force to “limit the spread of the virus” on January 20, 2021, the date he will be sworn in. Throughout November, he continued to make statements on this topic: “I am not going to shut down the economy, period. I am going to shut down the virus,” he stressed on November 19, rejecting the idea of a national lockdown. This stance is questionable. What means and tools does Biden – and, more widely, the American federal government – really have to fight Covid-19?
“It should be noted that government policies against this kind of pandemic deploy three kinds of “protection” for citizens: the production of medical equipment (tests, masks, respirators, hospital beds), behavior regulation to slow down the spread (quarantine, social distancing, forbidding large gatherings), and communication to legitimize these safety measures and the government’s temporarily increased infringement of civil liberties. In the United States, American exceptionalism has led to a perplexing, asymmetrical political response against Covid-19 (with the federal government and state governors in opposition). The death toll of more than a quarter million Americans is there to serve as a reminder of the failures of that response.”
----- ---- --- -- -
The capability to “shut down” the virus was made available to all Americans largely by Biden’s efforts. The fact that various politicians, governors, and some in the population refused to take the shots had a double impact. One, it permitted Covid-19 to extend it’s life, and two, the prolonged pandemic caused the numbers of variants that killed even more people.
The question remains, asking why so many Americans decided to risk death and disease rather than taking a safe, simple and effective vaccine?

It wasn’t hard at all. Your inability read the information provided by the CDC links is your own problem. Had you been able to, you would have learned that the actual mortality rates vary from day to day, but the average range is right at 90%. My original example was from March 7th, other data from March 13th showed and unvaccinated rate of 1.37 and a vaccinated rate of .13, so that example indicates that 91.3% of the deaths were unvaccinated individuals.

A paragraph of BS, nothing less.
Leftau, I never tried to unravel the CDC links, I don't fall for the old practice, if you cannot dazzzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with bullshit routine.
I never said the insurrection was just a few demonstrators, that was only a portion of my statement. I said it was a relative few demonstrators in view of the overall number of people who showed up. You on the other hand would like to paint everyone present with the same brush. That is not American fairness in the least. Just some more of your party line lies which you like to put forth. I have said this before, I knew a man who went up to Washington for peaceful support. When there was the first breakage of glass heard, he and his entire group went to the bus and left, not intending to be any part of it. I personally was not there, but on TV, I saw a lot of peaceful rambling around before trouble broke out. Show me where I rambled on with support for Trump, if exposing your lies is support, then I suppose I was. Facts are what I deal in not hyped BS like you constantly put forth. I do not support either the far left or the far right. All a bunch of loose cannons. You however only seem to concern yourself with those on the right.
You made statements referring to numbers and could never produce them so you thought that if you loaded cyberspace with a bunch of BS it would suffice.
All I did was ask for the link to the numbers you were touting and you could not do it, so you want to blame me for not looking. I do not go on fools errands.
I haven't expressed any hatred for Joe Biden, just concern for his mental condition and the damage being done to the country by his incompetence to do the job. And the incompetence is not even his fault, it is the fault of the Democratic Party placing him in that position knowing his mental condition. There but for the grace of God could go any one of us as age moves in on us.

A few more corrections and comments based on you claiming that “Facts are what I deal in…”
Favorable comparing Trump to Truman (some time ago) is 100% opinion and 0% fact.
Bragging about superiority of your “lifetime accomplishments” has nothing to do with fact.
Your inability to read the CDC charts and graphs is your problem. The fact is that the numbers were there on the data tracker.
Excusing the insurrection as being by “a relative few” contradicts the fact that the 2000 or so on the Capital grounds were guilty of criminal trespass and about 700 are in various stages of conviction. Those minions that just attended the rally can only be accused of being gullible.
Your support of and excuse-making for Trump is in no way based on truth. You claimed him to be a good “administrator” which is disputed by his mishandling of the economy and his total mismanagement of the pandemic.
Your contention of “concern” that Biden has done damage “to the country” has no basis in fact. Perhaps you were thinking of Trump’s mental condition, incompetence and the damage he’s done to the country.
What you supposedly deal in are not actual facts, rather they’re what you’d like them to be. That’s what dishonesty is.

1. Show us where I said the Mueller Report was a hoax. I believe what I said was it proved nothing that could be prpsecuted. I further said that your Democrats wasted four years of taxpayer time and treasure trying to prosecute Trump and remove him from office..... and they failed miserably each time. And yes I know that you are going to come back with the noise that all Democrats and a few Republicans voted guilty, but you never ever reached the legal requirement. Therefore the repeated efforts were a waste of time. Many if not most people recocgnized the fact that a lot of lies were used to get an Indictment/impeachment to start with.
2. and "it's not a lie if you truly believe it."
Another partial statement which makes it a lie on your party Leftau. What I said was... It is not a lie if you truly believe it. I further said, but that does not mean you are not wrong! That is the part you find convenient to omit.
I truly believe that and there is backup for it. Only the person believing what is a considered a lie can know if or not his thoughts and feelings are accurate or if or not he/she knows it to be a lie. What can bring that on, I would say ego had a lot to do with it, but that is me. Follows is a study that was done on it. There are others that I have seen.
So Leftau prove that is not the way I stated things. I even once gave you the benefit of the doubt in my own mind. However I firmly believe that you are such a Water Boy for the Democrats that you would climb a tree to lie for them rather than stand on the ground and tell the truth. Maybe I am wrong, but that is what I believe. Why don't you try and prove it not so. And maybe you believe it, that has to be you who determines that.
And you might start realizing when they handed you that piece of paper and said you were graduating that you still did not know it all and should make a practice of trying to keep up. It is my theory that I should try to learn something new on the average of every day. Maybe it doesn't always work out, but I still try.

OK, a few facts to clear up Leftau's BS............
"1.) A few more corrections and comments based on you claiming that “Facts are what I deal in…”
Response: Anything I post you want to try and prove wrong, go for it, but be ready with proof not one of your cockemaney opinions.
2.) Favorable comparing Trump to Truman (some time ago) is 100% opinion and 0% fact.
Response: You call it what you want but I was trying to show similarities in how they went about things. Truman had a mouth on him, Tump has one as well. If you don't think he did, how about the time he publicly threatened to punch a reporter for his snarky reporting on Truman's Daughter, Margaret and her piano playing. I do not remember comparing their policies, just their personalities. Other than that they had little in common, Truman was poor, Trump was rich! Both were feisty and fighters. So get over it. Personally I admire men with a little spirit instead of the milktoast, kissasses that we see so much of today.
3.) Bragging about superiority of your “lifetime accomplishments” has nothing to do with fact.
Response: You tried belittling me, I will fight back. Examples follow......
"Your inability to read the CDC charts and graphs is your problem. The fact is that the numbers were there on the data tracker."
"First a question for you, Mr. VanGennip.
Are there any things you're able to do without help?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Jul 25, 2022, at 9:14 AM"
Response to your BS and trying to belittle me was just giving you an opportunity to prove your superiority, and was as follows.....
"You betcha there is and any day you would like to compare lifetime accomplishments, I will manage to find the time for you."
I will always try to give a man an opportunity to make a fool of himself.
It is not my job to sift through a bunch of useless words to find what you claimed. You make a statement and show numbers, then be prepared to show them without wanting the rest of us to go through a word salad to find them.
And I did not brag about anything, I just asked if you wanted to compare. I always try to respond to blowhards who think they are superior.
4.) Excusing the insurrection as being by “a relative few” contradicts the fact that the 2000 or so on the Capital grounds were guilty of criminal trespass and about 700 are in various stages of conviction. Those minions that just attended the rally can only be accused of being gullible.
Response: I excused nothing. I said that a relative few in comparison to attendees and that was a correct statement to contradict your trying to paint all with the same brush. There was no excuse for what happened and I did not say there was. See the following.....
"How many people attended the “Save America” rally on January 6?
How many people attended the “Save America” rally on January 6? How many of them invaded the Capitol? While the National Park Service no longer counts rally attendance, it’s estimated that as many as 100K people attended."
By your numbers 2000 to 700 were unlawfully involved in the breakin. That puts the prosecuted down to less than 1 in 100, I call that relatively few. You may look foolish and call it whatever you want. My description is correct, it is relatively few who are being prosecuted for criminal behaviour. Yet somebody as unfamiliar with terms and numbers would try to paint the entire group as one. When the government prosecutes the roughly 100,000 estimated to be in attendance I will agree with you, not one minute before. My statement stands it was a relative few!
5.) Your support of and excuse-making for Trump is in no way based on truth. You claimed him to be a good “administrator” which is disputed by his mishandling of the economy and his total mismanagement of the pandemic.
Response: Better be prepared to prove what you are saying.
Trump was not perfect, as no man is, But we were not paying ridiculous prices for fuel, more than double under Biden and out of control inflation again, the highest in 40 years. And his handling of a Pandemic like we have not been engaged in in a hundred years was as good as any President would do under the circumstances in my opinion, he undoubtedly made some erors, but he fascilitated the Scientists in getting a vaccine on the market in record time and started shots before leaving office. And try saying he did not, but proof is Biden received shots before being sworn in. I believe that is a mattter of general knowledge.
6.) Your contention of “concern” that Biden has done damage “to the country” has no basis in fact. Perhaps you were thinking of Trump’s mental condition, incompetence and the damage he’s done to the country.
Response: Biden has stumbled through over 18 months with little success at anything and a horrible failure in Afghanistan. An embarrassment to America.
7.) What you supposedly deal in are not actual facts, rather they’re what you’d like them to be. That’s what dishonesty is.
Response: I will take that as your opinion, which are like you know what, everyone has one, but you haven't shown any of that to be anuthing but opinion.

More of these “non-facts” that you invent to suit your party first, country last approach…
----- ---- --- -- -
“…I said was it proved nothing that could be prpsecuted.”
The Mueller Report was commissioned and accomplished by the republican party and provided evidence of Trump’s obstruction of justice in 8 or 9 counts. AG Barr acting as Trump’s personal attorney, essentially dismissed them. There was also proof of collusion which Barr agreed did not rise to a level of a conspiracy. The AG chose consciously not to prosecute.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…that a lot of lies were used to get an Indictment/impeachment to start with.”
The facts actually show that Trump confessed to his crimes as in “I need you to do us a favor” and “all I need is for you to find me 11780 votes,” or "“If You Don’t Fight Like Hell, You’re Not Going To Have A Country Anymore.” Rampant dishonesty within the republican party led them to blindly ignore facts (a process that you appear to be entirely comfortable with.)
----- ---- --- -- -
“…does not mean you are not wrong!”
That says “you are wrong” which still does not condone you excusing Trump.
----- ---- --- -- -
“I firmly believe that you are such a Water Boy for the Democrats…”
So even if you were to “truly believe that” you’re still wrong, as you have been ever since the first time you made that up.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…lie for them rather than stand on the ground and tell the truth.”
This goes back to the numerous times I have openly invited you to specifically identify what it is the I said that you interpret as a “made up fact?”
Each time you fade into the woodwork and are unable and/or unwilling to respond.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…when they handed you that piece of paper and said you were graduating that you still did not know it all…”
Why would I have thought anything of the sort?
----- ---- --- -- -
“It is my theory that I should try to learn something new on the average of every day.”
Excellent approach. Tomorrow, I suggest you download a copy of the Mueller Report and read it.
Then you could go to Wikipedia and read the records of Trump’s first and second impeachments.
If you want to learn something new every day, you can’t just reread rightwing conspiracy theories.
----- ---- --- -- -
By now you should have realized that you have never “hit a nerve.”

Just this item alone shows what you don't know. And I don't put it down as defense of Trump.
"“…that a lot of lies were used to get an Indictment/impeachment to start with.”
The facts actually show that Trump confessed to his crimes as in “I need you to do us a favor” and “all I need is for you to find me 11780 votes,” or "“If You Don’t Fight Like Hell, You’re Not Going To Have A Country Anymore.” Rampant dishonesty within the republican party led them to blindly ignore facts (a process that you appear to be entirely comfortable with.)"
1. How out of context are these so-called crimes. Show us what makes them a crime and I will bet a 1st year law student could make you look silly.
The Democrats had four years to prosecute him for them and all they could come up with for the most part was their political majority. Show me how the Bill Clinton impeachment was any different when it came to get the required majority for his conviction. Impeachments are and always have been a waste of time and money. They are proven to be that as there is usually a political majority that indicts but the political miniority keeps the conviction from happening.
Again, your so called crimes would need the entire conversation aired to know if or not they are taken out of context.
It has been said, you can indict a ham sandwich. A conviction is totally another matter.
What we do not do Leftau is send people to Washington DC to try and get revenge on a sitting President for defeating a woman who had dreamed of being President since she was a little girl, it was her turn and how she was a lead pipe cinch to win!!! Then Somebody throws a monkey wrench into the works by defeating her. He must be destroyed!!

More of your "non-facts"
“…comparing Trump to Truman…”
Truman was honest and honorable, Trump was likely the most dishonest and dishonorable individual to ever occupy the White House.
----- ---- --- -- -
“You tried belittling me…”
That’s in your imagination. The fact is that the numbers were there.
----- ---- --- -- -
“I always try to respond to blowhards who think they are superior.”
That’s the difference as I’ve not maintained to be “superior.” I’ve never made any claims or statements about “inferiors” or “superiors.” I know exactly what I’ve done and I have paid attention to the accounts of all of your achievements, so I have nothing to be concerned over any comparison.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…it’s estimated that as many as 100K people attended."
“My statement stands it was a relative few!”
Per Newsweek, the number was about 10,000, but clearly you prefer your own number. Regardless there was no excuse for even 1 member of the Trump mob to invade the US Capital.
----- ---- --- -- -
“Better be prepared to prove what you are saying.”
“More than five years of growth have been wiped out. With the recovery faltering, pressure is mounting for the White House and Congress to agree on a second stimulus package. President Donald Trump, who is trailing Democratic challenger and former Vice President Joe Biden in opinion polls, said on Wednesday he was in no hurry. Trump on 30th of July raised the possibility of delaying the Nov. 3 presidential election.”
----- ---- --- -- -
“…was as good as any President would do under the circumstances in my opinion…”
Your opinion is all that is. Trump did next to nothing.
“We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
----- ---- --- -- -
“Biden has stumbled through over 18 months with little success at anything and a horrible failure in Afghanistan. An embarrassment to America.”
The withdrawal from Afghanistan was directly attributable to Trumps unconditional surrender. Biden accepted responsibility for the day 1 chaos and then safely evacuated about 120,000 Americans and allies.
Just a few others
The $1.9 trillion Covid relief deal.
The $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.

“…comparing Trump to Truman…”
Truman was honest and honorable, Trump was likely the most dishonest and dishonorable individual to ever occupy the White House.
Maybe you cannot read, or cannot comprehend what you read! I told you I was comparing their feisty personalities. And if you had a clue you would find Truman had one.
Also before we get into too much honest and honorable. Harry Truman was a prodigy of the corrupt Pendergast Gang from Kansas City. Not unlike the Daily Machine in Chicago.
"Trump was likely the most dishonest and dishonorable individual to ever occupy the White House."

Call it what you like, but the fact remains, Trump was not President when it happened and Biden and his Committee had every opportunity to not go through with it. But he did and was not leader enough to carry it out.
"safely evacuated about 120,000 Americans and allies."
No he did not, the airline industry did it. Biden took the soldiers and cut and ran, leaving the citizens and others to the mercy of the enemy.

Mr. Braswell,
What the Trump administration "negotiated" was an unconditional surrender. The Taliban essentially forced Trump to abandon the Afghan government by threatening to withdraw from negotiations unless he threw the Afghan people "under the bus."
Which he did, sadly for Afghanistan.

They didn't have to fly into Kabul to help. The U.S. was incapable of getting them out and safely home without help, that is obvious. Old Slow Joe bit off more than he could chew.

There's nothing to admit. The US Air Force evacuated about 120,000 Americans and Allies out of Afghanistan through HKI.
Using CRAF aircraft (which has been incorporated into war plans since the 1970's) to move them to final destinations was part of the overall plan and is why the mission was accomplished in about 14 days. Step one was to get people out of Afghanistan.
What is your question?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Jul 27, 2022, at 11:46 PM

“Unconditional surrender”

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Thu, Jul 28, 2022, at 6:43 AM
Mr. VanGennip,
There is actually little reason for you to have been aware of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet. It’s been in being since about 1951 but has had little public exposure. It’s primary mission for the past 70 years has been to transport troops to Europe in the event of a NATO contingency. The US Air Force would transport equipment, supplies and material while the CRAF would fly troops.
The CRAF commitment is not dissimilar to the National Guard or Reserve forces as they come under DOD control when mobilized. Basically, when utilized as in 2021 to transport people from the Middle East to Europe or the US, they are operating as military assets rather than civilian airlines.
See now you've learned something new today.

"MGen Chris Donahue, commander of the 82nd Airborne, was the last person out of Afghanistan on August 31st on a US Air Force C-17."

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jul 28, 2022, at 9:56 AM
No beating around the bush other waiting on your unwillingness to learn a bit about conditional vs unconditional.
Looks like several conditions in this:
A comprehensive peace agreement is made of four parts: 1. Guarantees and enforcement mechanisms that will prevent the use of the soil of Afghanistan by any group or individual against the security of the United States and its allies. 2. Guarantees, enforcement mechanisms, and announcement of a timeline for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Afghanistan. 3. After the announcement of guarantees for a complete withdrawal of foreign forces and timeline in the presence of international witnesses, and guarantees and the announcement in the presence of international witnesses that Afghan soil will not be used against the security of the United States and its allies, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban will start intra-Afghan negotiations with Afghan sides on March 10, 2020, which corresponds to Rajab 15, 1441 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Hoot 20, 1398 on the Hijri Solar calendar. 4. A permanent and comprehensive ceasefire will be an item on the agenda of the intra-Afghan dialogue and negotiations. The participants of intra-Afghan negotiations will discuss the date and modalities of a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire, including joint implementation mechanisms, which will be announced along with the completion and agreement over the future political roadmap of Afghanistan. The four parts above are interrelated and each will be implemented in accordance with its own agreed timeline and agreed terms. Agreement on the first two parts paves the way for the last two parts. Following is the text of the agreement for the implementation of parts one and two of the above. Both sides agree that these two parts are interconnected. The obligations of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban in this agreement apply in areas under their control until the formation of the new post-settlement Afghan Islamic government as determined by the intra-Afghan dialogue and negotiations. PART ONE The United States is committed to withdraw from Afghanistan all military forces of the United States, its allies, and Coalition partners, including all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, private security contractors, trainers, advisors, and supporting services personnel within fourteen (14) monthsfollowing announcement of this agreement, and will take the following measures in this regard:
A. The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will take the following measures in the first one hundred thirty-five (135) days: 1) They will reduce the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan to eight thousand six hundred (8,600) and proportionally bring reduction in the number of its allies and Coalition forces. 2) The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will withdraw all their forces from five (5) military bases. B. With the commitment and action on the obligations of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban in Part Two of this agreement, the United States, its allies, and the Coalition will execute the following: 1) The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will complete withdrawal of all remaining forces from Afghanistan within the remaining nine and a half (9.5) months. 2) The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will withdraw all their forces from remaining bases. C. The United States is committed to start immediately to work with all relevant sides on a plan to expeditiously release combat and political prisoners as a confidence building measure with the coordination and approval of all relevant sides. Up to five thousand (5,000) prisoners of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban and up to one thousand (1,000) prisoners of the other side will be released by March 10, 2020, the first day of intra-Afghan negotiations, which corresponds to Rajab 15, 1441 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Hoot 20, 1398 on the Hijri Solar calendar. The relevant sides have the goal of releasing all the remaining prisoners over the course of the subsequent three months. The United States commits to completing this goal. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban commits that its released prisoners will be committed to the responsibilities mentioned in this agreement so that they will not pose a threat to the security of the United States and its allies. D. With the start of intra-Afghan negotiations, the United States will initiate an administrative review of current U.S. sanctions and the rewards list against members of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban with the goal of removing these sanctions by August 27, 2020, which corresponds to Muharram 8, 1442 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Saunbola 6, 1399 on the Hijri Solar calendar. E. With the start of intra-Afghan negotiations, the United States will start diplomatic engagement with other members of the United Nations Security Council and Afghanistan to remove members of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban from the sanctions list with the aim of achieving this objective by May 29, 2020, which corresponds to Shawwal 6, 1441 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Jawza 9, 1399 on the Hijri Solar calendar

Leftau, Biden had full knowledge of what that agreement was. If he was not capable of handling it, he should have renegotiated it. He's a big boy isn't he? He should know what is going on, by now. He has been in government his entire working life. Oh wait. That is the problem! Pretty much unqualified at any level.
Then add to that brain dead!
Brilliant move Democrats!

To "fill the shoes" of Trump, one would have to dishonest, immoral, unethical, prone to criminality, and anxious to illegally overturn the legitimately elected government of the United States.
Biden's miles better than that.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jul 28, 2022, at 11:58 AM
"...he should have renegotiated it."
This was no real estate deal, rather a signed commitment by the United States government.
The point in time that it should have been renegotiated was in 2020 when the Taliban failed to deal honestly with the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
Trump blundered in this respect and from from the start gave away too much in his "eagerness" to make a "deal."
Perhaps you recall that supposedly "no deal" is better than a "bad deal."
All of that is irrelevant now, but the entire world, especially Afghanis, knew that Biden was forced to try to make a "silk purse" out of the "sows ear" that Trump left him.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jul 28, 2022, at 12:24 PM
Mr. Braswell,
Trump's surrender had conditions that were violated and not enforced in 2020 while he was President.
This is what made his surrender unconditional.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jul 28, 2022, at 12:30 PM

Spare us the LA Te DA about our obligations so far as Afghanistan is concerned. If he couldn't handle it In a professional manner Biden should have "Stayed Out Of The Kitchen"!
But he didn't and it was not handled Presidentially.
There was no "Unconditional Surrender" no matter how many times you repeat that Democrat Talking Point.
It was simple, Biden was not and is not qualified for the job he applied for. A mistake was made in hiring him. If he were a man of honor he would resign! But oh, wait, then we would have that other misfit that was hired!

Of course it was a unconditional surrender. It has nothing to do with the democratic party.
The minute Trump excluded the Afghan government and people from all negotiations it became unconditional.
That exactly when the Taliban knew they had Trump under their thumb.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jul 28, 2022, at 2:58 PM
Who do you think was really running that god forsaken excuse of a country? Excluding the government? That was the Taliban. That “government” you speak was just a shadow set up. Nothing more. You deal with the people in charge and ol Joe cow towed and did the surrendering plus arming them for years to come.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Thu, Jul 28, 2022, at 4:42 PM
DA, when Joe Biden took office on Jan 20, 2021, it became his responsibiity. If the agreement was as flawed as the Democratic Water Boy tries to make it, then Joe Biden should have shut it down and would have if he was really smarter than Trump. Joe Biden was not fit for office when nominated and he has been a disaster ever since. Everything he touches turns to ****. And the Afghan withdrawal was no difference it is totally Joe Biden's baby. If it was flawed why didn't his handlers who are supposed to be such intelligent people tell him not to do it.
Under competent supervision, I am sure it would have come out just fine. Under the incompetent supervision the project had it was a disaster and a disgrace.
Leftau makes it sound as if it was an impossible situation to pull off. Only with the party doing the pulling off.
Didn't we have another military disaster once, something called the Bay of Pigs? I wonder if Trump had anything to do with that?

Biden has not hesitated to accept responsibility for events that occurred under his administration.
Why shouldn't Trump accept responsibility for his actions and events under his administration?
The entire surrender episode was his responsibility as took place in March 2020. Perhaps you can reveal why he chose to abandon the Afghan people.

Neither of you appear to have any real understanding of what went on.

In simple terms, the US has always supported the Afghan government and peaceful accommodation of the Taliban. The demands of the Taliban included unconditional departure of all US and international forces, and termination of support for the legitimate Afghan government.
At least that was the American position until the Trump administration, who capitulated to Taliban demands through surrender.
Biden was handed a mess and there was no way to "unring that bell."

A little something for you Leftau. It appears Biden forged ahead in spite of the Taliban mot sticking to their agreement. He had no legal requirement to carry on with the agreement as you want to insist. He wanted to be the one who finished the deal and he glubbed it all up. Even you admitted his first day was a disaster. The ball was in Biden's court and he fumbled.
Now, what would Trump done? Speculation is all we have to go on.
Biden got off the porch and was not able to run with the big dogs and he has now been crippleing along on 3 legs since January 20, 2021!
"President-elect Biden and his administration will need to closely examine the Taliban’s conduct which, so far, seems to contravene its obligations under the February accord. A hasty withdrawal, while the Taliban maintains close links with terrorist groups, is very risky.
Another related issue is coordination with America’s allies. The February deal states that all foreign forces will leave Afghanistan within the stipulated timeline—a provision that poses a difficult dilemma for NATO and coalition partners especially in light of the actual conditions on the ground.
You mentioned that the February agreement envisioned a prisoner swap as well. Has that already been completed?
Yes. The February deal called for the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners in exchange for 1,000 Afghan government captives as a “confidence building measure.” Despite questions over the legality of the Afghan government’s decision to release many Taliban convicts, the prisoner swap has been completed.
Unfortunately, contrary to the Taliban’s promises, reports indicate that many freed Taliban fighters have returned to the battlefield. The flawed process of releasing the Taliban prisoners, many of whom were convicted of grave crimes, may have other implications as well particularly in the context of the International Criminal Court’s investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Afghanistan."

The prisoner release deal began on March 10, 2020 and was completed on September 3, 2020. Those freed Taliban fighters went right back to their ranks.

How can you keep making excuses for his actions during his presidency?

Guess leftau had to go back to the drawing board to try and prove the current failure in the White House.
Hope he finds the part about the transfer of power supposing to be seamless.
Also hope he finds that part where Biden was updated on where things were as a state of completion or incompletion.
And maybe even finally realizes that the founders must have assumed that people nominated to run were competent administrators.
Then maybe he can start the healing process of blaming Trump for everything that has happened since Noah built the ark.

Leftau, I am not defending Trump. I am strictly trying to keep you from successfully shifting the blame for Joe Biden's screw ups and the screw up of the Democratic Party for nominating a brain-dead man for the the highest office of our land for one reason, likeability and the perceived idea that he could defeat Trump. You have as much as admitted that earlier.
The pullout in Afghanistan was a total mess, you know it, I know it, the world knows it! I gave you information earlier today that shows he was warned. But hey, he is Commander in Chief. We screw this up, we can always blame someone else. Right??
Trump has things to be blamed for no doubt. The disastrous poorly planned and carried pullout in Afghanistan is Biden's Baby not Trump's. He indicated to America he was qualified and capable of being the World's most powerful man. Nothing could be further from the truth. Biden owns the pullout disaster, no one else.
Now rush in and claim, but he singled handedly rescued 37 million people (exaggeration intended) or whatever out of your hat that he had run off and left in Afghanistan.
Biden was warned, Biden owns it! Simple as that. He signed on for the job and he failed to carry it out honorably. If he wasn't up for the job, he should have stayed out of the way and let us see if Trump could do it.

That's a complete joke. We all saw his incompetence in throwing the Afghan people under the bus. His surrender may as well have been written by the Taliban alone. His prisoner release, vehemently opposed by the Afghan government, turned about 5000 fighters back to the battlefield.
His surrender was in March of 2020. If he felt he could have handled the drawdown, he could have started right then.

Since the “moderator” mentioned Biden taking responsibility seems like a good spot for this.
Ol Joe first says “I can’t do much about high gas prices” as they rose to $5/gallon then suddenly claims “I had a big part” when the price dropped 50 cents. Suddenly he takes responsibility for something he had no control over.
Sorta like making workers stay home then claiming he created millions of jobs when they were allowed to return to work. Huh? No wonder he looks so bewildered all the time. He can’t believe he’s making these claims or he had to read it off his Joeprompter.
BTW- when “taking responsibility” for that small decrease in gas prices the bragging ad misspelled “person” with “peson “. I think that “person” was the incorrect word and the mistake was punctuation.
Should have been “Pe’s on”, which is what he’s been doing to the country from day one.

Leftau, Leftau, quit hallucinating, I have never looked upon Trump as a dedicated Conservative. But I do look upon him as a "doer" instead of being just a "talker"!
And I don't yet have a reason to see otherwise....
Unlike the Leftist Democratics who have formed a deep hatred for the man for 1st leaving their shambles of a party, then crowning that by beating their Queen, poor Hillary, at the polls and it being her turn to play President too.
That 2nd accomplishment being the one I will always be most grateful for.
Thank you Leftau for bringing that up this morning and presenting me an opportunity to express my feelings on the issue. You do have some purpose after all.

Lefta, as the doer. He speeded up the recovery that was languishing in the Obama regime as the slowest since the great Depression as starters. Your assessments of damaging are the results of the Democrats hatred for him becausing of quitting them and the Hillary bashing, nothing more, nothing less.
I never have approved of January 6th, I was speaking in terms of his 4 years in office.
Thank you for continuing to give me the opportunity of disputing your flawed and silly thinking.
I will always be grateful to him for saving us a Hillary Clinton disaster. Anyway, she and Bill stole enough money to do them during his Presidency.

Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist.

A man's view of religion or anything else gives one insight on where he is pulling some of his stuff, as he himself states in what I posted. You may think the sun rises and sets in Asimov's nether regions if you choose, doesn't mean I have to buy in on it, just as your lead-in to this thread indicates, and goes to show you are as full of it as he is.
How long did you have to look to find his quote that you opened this thread with to try and show justification for your self diagnosis on what is wrong with anything that doesn't fit your far left wing ideology?
Too many today fall for the study of such nonsense and spend four years or more of wasted time studying a program that gives them a $100,000 debt to pay and no basis to earn a living to pay off the debt. Then people like this brain dead President, our current one, comes along and decides the people like myself who followed and studied a program that would allow themselves to independently earn a living in this cruel world, need to pay a little more in taxes so he can forgive their debt.
Want me to go on Leftau, or do you get the drift. I will just cut to the chase. Me thinks Asimov is as full of it as a Christmas Goose.

Mr. VanGennip,
Your views on religion are fine, for you. Other people are allowed to have different opinions. Regrettably, you've always seemed think you're right about everything, which makes your inability to accept or even grasp the significance of Asimov's observations.
Being religious does not automatically make you a good person, not being religious does not make you a bad person.
There are tremendous variations within the collection of religions and almost without exception, each claims to be the one true religion.
And virtually all religious communities practice with exceptions to their creed.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our cultural and political life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that, my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Leftau just a few words at the end posted here again says it all about it's author and anyone buying into it.
"nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that, my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
When he says "my" on this partial sentence it is very obvious he does not refer to himself, rather he speaks to someone he obviously feels is inferior to himself.
And it is even more obvious you are parroting it in the same vein.
One of the virtues mankind is supposed to develop is tolerance for those who think differently than they do. Not necessarily accept their every thought but to try and understand them. It is really no different than accepting our differences in race.
Look at yourself, if you think there are people who think they jnow everything. You make a fine example. Talk about people with a flat world philosophy!!

The best example from the Christian religion is from Matthew which says "Love thy neighbor." It does not say only if your neighbor is of the same religion, or the same ethnic group, or the same race, or the same political party.

Nice try Leftau, but I probably know and respect more people not of my particular faith than I do in it. I have a dear friend I met on the road traveling who is Jewish, while I am Christian. He and I have the highest respect for one another and have both driven a few hundred miles out of our way to get together in our motorhome travels. Missouri and upstate New York are a few miles apart cilturally and distancewise but we bridged the gap with mutual respect.
So you may drop that silly line Leftau.

Neither have been discussed with my Jewish friend. Nor did I say I always agreed with others, but I did respect their rights to their beliefs. I have my own. You see Leftau, in my years in business, I worked for at least a half dozen different Churches. They all got a discount as an organized religion. Was that wrong? I have a minister friend, not of my own Faith that I air conditioned their Church, when they built a new larger Church many years ago, they gave me the contract for that as well.

Leftau, nowhere have I Condoned what took place on January 6th. Only yesterday I read where Trump requested the National Guard but did not upstage chain of command with an order.
He was a lot of things, but he was a better manager than what we have currently, evidence our economy on Jan 20, 2021 vs today.
Depends on who would run if or not I supported anyone. As I have stated before, a person's support can just as much be against someone as for their opponent. I will never support Hillary Clinton, nor would I support Biden as he is dead man walking, so far as capability. And lest you misunderstand, I am for the man who was elected managing our Country, not some non elected political committee. Nor will I waste my vote on a third party wannabe with 0 chance of defeating some candidate I cannot tolerate.

Leftau I opposed taking the life of an innocent human being. There are better ways. We have been importing children to adopt. I have a relative that adopted 3. Are there issues, you bet there are. But they have two upstanding young men they have raised and a third who is coming along but more of a challenge. Unable to have children of their own, they now have Grandchildren. I would daresay either of those very much alive young adults are thankful for their being allowed to live.
I will never condone abortion, birth control, between them, their spouse and their God.

Trump as a manager, was unable to obtain Congressional approval for the wall that Mexico was going to pay for. Trump's mismanagement ended up misappropriating military construction funds and even then left gaps that Biden had to fix for him.

Leftau, I responded to the 9:47 question before I went grocery shopping but forgot to hit send. You should have it by now.
Your comment above....
I think the woman has the right to do what our laws say she can do. If she is carrying a baby with a beating heart and she kills it, then she should be treated just like a thug with a gun who kills someone. That is my opinion. If it does not fit your liberal agenda. T.S.
Killing is Killing in my book.
I have a conscience and could not do it. Many years ago, we were advised to get an abortion because my wife had Rubella while pregnant. We could not and did not do it. The baby was born with a host of problems and lived 9 months. We still miss him and that was more than 50 years ago. But we had him for 9 months. And we have no regrets about our decision. Having to do it again, the same decision would be made.
So don't give me a ration of your BS about not being involved. Try it sometime! When it happens to you, you are involved.
If you haven't walked the walk don't talk the talk.
One more thing Leftau, I just came back from the grocery store. I spent 159.43 at the checkout and carried all of them upstairs from the lower level in one trip. There was no beef in the mix either, so don't even go there that I am eating high on the hog, or steer as the case may be.

Had Trump not started saying "the only way I can lose is if it's rigged" 6 to 9 months before the election, and had he not insisted "he won by a landslide" (in spite of losing by about 10 million votes) would you actually believe there was anything illegal about the election?

Leftau, I have posted again my response. You may like it, you may lump it. But it is my response!
I did not have a yes or no answer. Either would have been a lie on my part and only an opinion. I try to not do that. I responded and gave you the answer as I saw it. You want to answer for me, go for it. Bear in mind, if it does not agree with what I know for a fact I will deny it and point you out for what you are.
You and I are different. I answer as I see something and will not respond positively or negatively if I do not have all of the facts I feel necessary to respond. I learned long ago, jumping to conclusions without all of the facts can make one look foolish as the least cost and be damned expensive in cases where correct information is financially required.
The old, don't believe everything you hear and only half of what you see information has been a saviour for me over the years.
I have never stated that Trump was a perfect individual. His mouth, like a lot of people I have known through the years, placed an overload on his ***, many times. It seems to be a problem especially with politicians. But what I said about his management abilities, while not always perfect, certainly make the current President look like a rank amateur.
The Democratic Party especially seems to work on the theory that it is possible to borrow oneself out of debt. It does not work in private life, it will not work in business and it will not work in government. Private life and business, it usuALLY ends uo in bankruptcy court. In this country and politics, so far they just print some more money and go on with placing inflation in the laps of the citicens. There will eventually be a day or reckoning. The Democrats are the worst at it, but the Republicans are not guilt free.
And now with inflation going nuts and help signs everywhere, the current government wants to do a setup where stimulous checks go out automatically on a periodic basis to keep people sitting on their *** and not working.
Again as I promised here is the response I gave you to begin with. It is what it is and going to be!!
"Now is the ignorance of those believing the election was stolen and Trump won by a landslide (which is his contention) equal to our knowledge that it was not.
Obviously the answer is no."

Mr Lettau only telling one side of the story……..again.
From August 2020:
Hillary Clinton,the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee predicted that among several scenarios, Republicans are going to try to “mess up absentee balloting” so that they could get a potentially narrow advantage in the Electoral College.
“We've got to have a massive legal operation, I know the Biden campaign is working on that,” she said. “We have to have poll workers, and I urge people, who are able, to be a poll worker. We have to have our own teams of people to counter the force of intimidation that the Republicans and Trump are going to put outside polling places. This is a big organizational challenge, but at least we know more about what they're going to do.”
“Biden should not concede in any circumstance”
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Sun, Jul 31, 2022, at 9:34 PM
Since you have probably gone to bed, I have a couple of thoughts you may cogitate on at breakfast to let you know where I am coming from Mister Leftau. You want yes and no answers. In life I find things are not always that simple.
I consider myself to be, to a greater degree, analytical. I try not to jump to conclusions.
Seldom do I find things a simple yes or no. There are a lot of maybes to consider.
In business and personal financial affairs, I learned early on to consider all angles of a deal.
An opportunity presents itself. Risk and reward are to be considered.
RISK AND REWARD EVALUATION
1.) What is involved in this project?
2.) What is the realistic reward if I do this project?
3.) What are the chances I can pull this off successfully?
4.) What happens if circumstances are not as I was told, anticipated or presumed?
5.) If worst case scenario happens, what will be the cost?

Per Mr. Vangennip,
The issue was whether the ignorance of those believing the election was stolen, equal to our knowledge that it was not.
Your apparent answer amounted to “maybe yes, maybe no.”
As part of your response you said, “I think things out and you don’t like it.”
Aside from the fact that whether I “don’t like it” is totally irrelevant, let’s consider that claim…
If you think things out did you consider that Trump is the only losing President that tried to incite an insurrection to illegally overturn an fair, honest and legal election?
If you think things out did discover a reason for Trump to claim “the only way I can lose is if it’s rigged” and formulate the “big lie” to manipulate his “base?”
If you think things out were you able to reconcile the republican state and local election victories, with the claim that the election was stolen?
If you think things out, was it not strange for Trump to claim “I won in a landslide” when he only received 46.8% of the popular vote and 43% of the electoral college vote?
If you think things out, you probably realize that some of the Trump insurgents are being charged with domestic terrorism.
If you think things out, did you notice that your response, when the issue was crazy leftists and multiple genders, was not wishy-washy at all.
----- ---- --- -- -
It could be that you “think things out” only to the extent of confirming your preformed conclusions.
While I agree that you are “not a democratic sheep” (neither am I) you appear very much like a Trumpist/conservative sheep.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Aug 1, 2022, at 1:38 PM
Mr. Braswell,
Knowing that you are a smart guy, I'm sure you realized that Trump being as ego driven and dishonest as he is, would have already claimed the "gaps" as completed wall. Therefore, Biden just fixed a Trump "omission" and didn't actually build a foot of new wall. You probably also realize how irrelevant this is.
Also irrelevant is Hillary advising not to concede when he won.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Aug 1, 2022, at 1:44 PM
Clinton made that statement the evening of the election when Biden had a slim lead. As you should know(and Clinton knows)slim leads evaporate. Just making sure you get both sides to the story.
Biden and his “not one more foot” is just another lie now that he is finishing the wall. Not as ridiculous as he will cure cancer but close.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, Aug 1, 2022, at 2:42 PM

Leftau, that little litany of BS is just what I called it.

But the fact remains, you can take my response or you can leave it. I could care less. Your gouges at me only amount to amusement on my part. When you go after me with your insults, belittlements and other verbage it doesn't bother me in the least. I am comfotable in my own skin.
And as a comparison, if you think that kind of garbage is going to cause me to loose one wink of sleep, you are akin to what I heard long ago.....

"...influence the way I think as they obviously do in your case."
"Obviously" do???
That's simply your opinion, with no basis in fact, but making things up has never bothered you before.
Here's something for you to consider...
A few years ago, Liz Cheney was the 3rd highest ranking republican in the House of Representative, was (and still is) a staunch conservative that voted with Trump about 90% of the time. Expecting honesty may be a stretch, but I'd guess she was someone you respected.
She has not changed her political ideology and is still an extremely strong conservative, but she decided to openly tell the truth about Trump.
So now, rightfully, recognizing her honesty, one would expect you to respect her even more. If I remember accurately, you don't.
It seems that a "two bit politician" influenced the way you think.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Aug 2, 2022, at 9:47 AM
I’d like to commend the droning of that al Qaeda terrorist. About time but he’s prob already been replaced by now and sheltered in Afghanistan by the Taliban. Things never change. Too bad there was so much condemnation when the previous administration did the same thing. Things never change.

Yes, I am sincerely inclined to do so. Not by any means because of “sympathy” for Soleimani or the Iranians, but because President Trump is piling blunder upon blunder and endangering our military and our nation, making us “less safe.”
The most recent major blunder was the elimination (or assassination) of what was considered the second most influential person in the Iranian Government. The justification of him being a “bad” or “evil” individual applies equally to Assad, Kim Jung Un, Putin, Erdogan, Duterte and various others. What appears to have been discounted and unheeded is that the Iranians have numerous Generals to take Soleimani’s place, and basically, nothing has changed, and there was no imminent threat.

He was not a member of al Qaeda, which is what I was referring to.
I'd suggest that the Iranians have still not decided how and when to retaliate. They may have forgotten about it, but I doubt it.
Furthermore, pointing out it was a typical Trump blunder, does not actually condemn the act itself.

Leftau, I don't know where you are coming from that you think I have to answer your questions, If I choose to ignore your BS, the facts are I have thought very little of Liz Cheney. Obviously you would fall in love with her if she hated Trump with the same venom you do. I have spent very little of my time thinking about Liz Cheney as she is no one I will be voting for as I see it from where I sit.
Remembeer one thing Leftau, I am not on the stand and I am not being cross examined by you.
I will respond as I see fit and as I have thought out my feelings on the matter. Liz Cheney has been flying under my radar, whatever feelings I have for her will not change the way I live one way or the other. I could show a lot of admiration for her or condemn her to the depths and it will not change a thing. I prefer instead to use my time in doing something no matter how small that I can and that will matter.
In other words Lefty,
"“Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.”
― Reinhold Niebuhr
"Reinhold Niebuhr has been a favorite of mine. The above is his Serenity Prayer.
Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971) was an American Reformed theologian, ethicist, commentator on politics and public affairs, and professor at Union Theological Seminary for more than 30 years…
Wikipedia
BornKarl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr · June 21, 1892 · Wright City, Missouri, US
DiedJune 1, 1971 (aged 78) · Stockbridge, Massachusetts, US
Spouse(s)Ursula Niebuhr · (m. 1931)
RelativesH. Richard Niebuhr (brother)"
As you can see from above, he was a local Missourian, born some 40 miles from where I sit.
I have read some of his writings over the years, forgotten some of them but have always rememebered the above statement, prayer, whatever one would like to call it. And I try to live by it. More on this later as I am retiring for the day at this point
Like it or not this is my question for you.

I need no help answering questions Leftau, the problem is you don't like the responses because they disagree with you. And somebody as self-aggrandizing as you thinks he knows what influences someone else's thinking, not to mention my own. If there is no definite yes or no answer you may as well get used to the fact that you are not going to get one from me without what I think on the issue. I will use English for you, is that too hard for you to understand? I could have done it with one word in Italian and saved some cyber space.
The sooner you get your head wrapped around the idea that I am careful in forming my opinions and I look, listen and read, before making a decision on most anything, the better.

Leftau, is your middle name Presumptuous?
I definitely am not swayed by any politician. All I have ever said in support of Donald Trump is that he left things in a lot better shape than they are after about 18 months of Brain Dead Biden. That is not being swayed by the man. All that is saying is that $2 a gallon gasoline beats hell out of $4 a gallon gaoline and everything else pretty much falls in line.
Same thing applies to inflation. 2% inflation beats 9% inflation hands down.

Is Resident Biden or Queen Pelosi to blame for the BLM/ANTIFA riots that they did not call for an ending at all? Every person is responsible for their own actions. BTW, Trump offered 2 days before J6 for the staging of National Guard troops but Pelosi and the DC mayor overruled the troops - did these 2 Democratic leaders call Trump to send in the troops after the protest started - nope, that would have been against the Democratic agenda. Some might want to learn more about J6 before they cast stones!!

You might want to do some research before throwing stones - the Federal government can't send in any troops unless local authorities request them. Only if there is a declared National emergency can the Federal government do so.....you are welcome!

Leftau, you might as well quit trying to put words in my mouth, you have consistently failed to do so and today will be no different.
My thoughts and respect goes only to those that deserve it.
So when you start tooting your horn about Cheney and what a staunch Conservative, she is I get the strong suspicion that she is a RINO and nothing more. Why, might you ask? I will tell you why. I have listened to your insults and downplaying Conservatives as a whole as if there could not be any difference among us. Then you come along and tell us what a staunch Conservative Cheney is. I seriously question that. I know little about the woman. The chances of me having to cast a vote for or against her is not all that likely to occur.
I have my opinions of Trump and you will not be made privey to them, positive, negative, or indifferent no matter how hard you push, because it is none of your damned business one way or the other.
To impress us, I remember the day you were so proud of the work you had done, you said that you even got into the Mayor's Offices.
Well in my position of President of a Statewide Organization's Board of Directors, I sat in the Lieutenant Governor's Office to present our case on an issue. No big deal Leftau, along with who cares, and with that and about $1 it will get me a cup of coffee at the exclusive places I dine in, like Hobo's at the Legion, or maybe a little less at White Castle.
My opinion of you is that you are a Pompous *** who is overly impressed with himself.
So when you get the idea that you can push me around and get me to say things you want said, GO FOR IT!
You might want to take some satisfaction that you did make me express my opinion of you and your efforts in the above couple or so of paragraphs.
Just a waste of my time Little Big Man! So let it go, you aren't going to get your way with me. Unless I agree and say so, which isn't on the horizon yet.

Lettau: It's a federal law - too bad for you and your razor!
Insurrection Act of 1807:
"The Act empowers the U.S. president to call into service the U.S. Armed Forces and the National Guard:
when requested by a state's legislature, or governor if the legislature cannot be convened, to address an insurrection against that state (§ 251),
to address an insurrection, in any state, which makes it impracticable to enforce the law (§ 252), or
to address an insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination or conspiracy, in any state, which results in the deprivation of constitutionally secured rights, and where the state is unable, fails, or refuses to protect said rights (§ 253)."
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Thu, Aug 4, 2022, at 12:04 PM
Washington D.C. has its own governing powers and under later amendments, to the 1807 Act, all USA territories come under the Act. Splitting hairs but hairs it is!

Just to help your narrative get back to a factual basis, here are a few comments on things you’ve invented (if you can’t find concrete examples, you’ve likely made them up.)
“…I get the strong suspicion that she is a RINO and nothing more.”
Where’s your evidence that the 3rd highest republican in Congress is a rino.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…your insults and downplaying Conservatives as a whole…”
And your example proving that is sadly missing.
----- ---- --- -- -
“I have my opinions of Trump and you will not be made privy to them…”
You don’t have to admit your opinions, it’s blatantly obvious to everyone.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…that you even got into the Mayor's Offices.”
I have no recollection whatsoever of whatever you’re referring to, but suggest it’s something you just took out of context.
----- ---- --- -- -
“Well in my position of President of a Statewide Organization's Board of Directors…”
Impressive.
----- ---- --- -- -
“My opinion of you is…”
...significantly less accurate than my opinion of you. But I’ve never inserted personal insults in comments.
----- ---- --- -- -
“…you get the idea that you can push me around…”
That’s something has never even considered, but then that’s not unexpected on your part.

Quite the contrary Leftau, my blood pressure has never been high. As a matter of fact the maternal side of my family has always had low blood pressure as I know it back to my Grandfather. Lowest mine was ever recorded in a doctor's office was 90 over 60. I asked the doctor what that meant and he told me well it means that when you get old you will probably have the blood pressure of a 20 year old. Nurses usually always take my reading twice.
So Leftau I would suggest it will take a lot more than a PeeWee like you to raise my blood pressure. But if it is a whizzing contest to raise blood pressures you want, I am up for the challenge.

1.) Just to help your narrative get back to a factual basis, here are a few comments on things you’ve invented (if you can’t find concrete examples, you’ve likely made them up.)
Response: I believe I gave you adequate information,, I didn't ask you to like it.
“…I get the strong suspicion that she is a RINO and nothing more.”
2.) Where’s your evidence that the 3rd highest republican in Congress is a rino."
Response: Very easy to give you, my logic on that one is the fact that she is praised by you and in the past three or more years I have never seen you praise another Republican or Conservative. Insults would be more forthcoming. It is written all over your posts Leftau that you are only Pro Cheney because she hates Trump as much as you do. You are easier to see through than a screendoor. As I mentioned earlier, Cheney is a nothing in my life. She doesn't exist here and her existence may be shortlived in Wyoming from some of the things I have heard. I could care less, but I doubt her being the wonderful conservative you try to make her.
Your Cheney chant bears no resemblence to reality from some of the things I have heard on TV news over the past several months.
----- ---- --- -- -
3.) “…your insults and downplaying Conservatives as a whole…”
And your example proving that is sadly missing.
Response: Everybody on here has seen the ranting you do on Conservatives. I have not the time to go looking today. And since you bring that up, how many times have I asked you for a source and you never show one? But I am indebted to give you one for which you already know what you have said.
----- ---- --- -- -
4.) “I have my opinions of Trump and you will not be made privy to them…”
You don’t have to admit your opinions, it’s blatantly obvious to everyone.
Response: Thank you, you finally recognize other's have opinions that are their own private thoughts and since they have no proof one way or the other, they keep their mouths shut. You on the other hand run your mouth if or not you know what you are talking about.
----- ---- --- -- -
5:) “…that you even got into the Mayor's Offices.”
I have no recollection whatsoever of whatever you’re referring to, but suggest it’s something you just took out of context.
Response: Had to do with something the government sent people in including yourself to help with infrastructure in small cities and towns and you appeared to be letting us know of your importance. So I thought I would give you a tit for tat., like you like to do.
----- ---- --- -- -
6:) “Well in my position of President of a Statewide Organization's Board of Directors…”
Impressive.
Response: Not really that impresive Leftau, put in just to get under your skin. Over my years in business I was asked to serve on no less than 4 different boards dedicated to seeing to it that our Association of memebers were given fair treatment by those regulating us, two of them were Statewide, two were regional. It was a thankless job for the most part, but necessary. I never volunteered, I was asked to serve and did.
----- ---- --- -- -
7.) “My opinion of you is…”
...significantly less accurate than my opinion of you. But I’ve never inserted personal insults in comments.
Well Leftau you have been insulting to me many times so I thought I would pay you the same favor.
The opinion stands!
----- ---- --- -- -
8.) “…you get the idea that you can push me around…”
That’s something has never even considered, but then that’s not unexpected on your part.
Response: What would you call this?
Actually sometimes it is. You not wanting to admit you were swayed by Trump is an excellent example of dodging questions to avoid an easy yes or no.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Aug 3, 2022, at 5:29 PM

I am just playing your game Leftau, but i do my best to respond in Spades when I have heard enough of your Bullshit!
----- ---- --- -- -
9.) “You might want to take some satisfaction…”
Why would that be the case? Your difficulty with honesty has been suspect all along and is nothing new.
I will copy and paste my complete statement....
You might want to take some satisfaction that you did make me express my opinion of you and your efforts in the above couple or so of paragraphs.

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Aug 4, 2022, at 11:45 AM
Response: My honesty has not been in question, I think many will vouch for that. It is typical with you that when you get called out on something that you go to try and attack your opponents honesty.
Leftau, I am beginning to believe you have lost your sanity or what little of it you had.
Who died and put you in charge of what I must and must not do?
I know what I think and find it terrbly amusing that it is driving you up the wall to get me to tell it.
I checked again and nowhere have I found that I was subserviant to you and had to do what you told me.
The fact that it is frustrating you to no end to not be able get me to either condone or condemn Trump and his actions is giving me a great deal of pleasure.
You may screech, scream and lie all you like but I am more dedicated than ever not to tell you what I think, because for one thing, it is none of your damned business and two, it gives me great pleasure to watch you fail at something you have no control over. Just keep in mind Uly, the more you rant and rave about it, the more enjoyment I will get out of watching your helplessness.

More coffin nails for Trump...
The remaining numbers of his base that spout Trump's big lie have another problem, particularly those running for office.
While on the campaign trail they will be asked for proof of election fraud that could have subverted Trump's "landslide victory."
As everyone knows, based an about 60 losing court cases, there was no appreciable fraud that had any effect on the outcome.
The only "defense" Trump candidates can come up with appears to be, "Trump said the only way he could lose is if there's fraud."
The republican candidates are left with trying to convince voters that one "two bit" politician changed the way they think.
And that's supposed to get them elected? Seriously?

The Cheneys and the Bushs are just upset that little boy Jeb Bush didn't get the 2016 nomination as it was supposed to happen!

I think most people who have a working brain know deep down that Biden should never have been nominated to start with, simply put, he is dead man walking.

Both Cheneys have always been republican/conservative and still are. The issue today is that what had been a a legitimate political party has moved away from them to become an extremist right wing group embracing every thing from Qanon to white supremacists.

Rick S.,
Agree that the past should stay in the past.
The best thing the republicans can do is simply dump Trump.
In my opinion the democrats should wait till after the mid term elections and allow Biden to retire at the end of his term. My guess is he'll do so on his own terms.
The most forward looking potential candidate in my opinion for democrats is Tim Ryan from Ohio. There's no doubt in my mind that he would walk over Trump or DeSantis, or whomever they nominate.

"On his own terms", Leftau you have to be kidding. There is no way in hell he is going to be anything but a one term President. If you think quitting because he is an impossible candidate for 2024 is his own terms, you are deluding yourself.

Never underestimate Biden’s ability to Eff things up.
Never gave Obama credit for being so clairvoyant.

DA, you think Obama may be smarter than he looks? His teleprompter didn't faill when he said that did it? If so he would have added,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I!! and on and on.

Mr. Braswell,
If you an actual link to the "observation" of Biden made by Obama, you'll be able to show it. If you don't, that's fine too, but it just confirms that you made up another "Braswellism."

No problem:
"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to **** things up," Obama told a fellow Democrat during the 2020 presidential primary. The former president disparaged his running mate again during a conversation with a Democratic candidate: "And you know who really doesn't have it?" Obama said. "Joe Biden."
I’d say that’s as good as Cassidy Hutchinson and her repeated “to the effect of”.

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Aug 6, 2022, at 4:54 PM
Who was the "fellow democrat?"
That's kind of important along with a link.
As for Hutchinson, she made her statements under oath and while being recorded.
Did the "fellow democrat" do that?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Aug 6, 2022, at 4:55 PM
“Under oath”? Ever heard of perjury?
Ever heard of hearsay being admitted for any testimony?
I’d say it was hearsay but if it’s good enough for a congressional committee it’s good enough for SO.
I’d say that Obama statements about Biden are true and accurate.
Now show anything to refute them. Your turn. That’s called a rebuttal I believe but other than you don’t believe them doesn’t count.

Speaking to Politico about Obama's concerns, one aide recalled him saying: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up.”
Obama also lamented his own lack of understanding about many of the trends within the current Democratic Party electorate.
He then reportedly added: “And you know who really doesn’t have it? Joe Biden.”
Former senior aides to Obama - including former chief strategist David Axelrod and the now-hosts of hit podcast Pod Save America - similarly disparaged Biden's chances at points throughout the campaign.
Wonder if Leftau has ever heard of david Axelrod?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Aug 6, 2022, at 9:23 PM
The rebuttal is very simple. As an adult you realize that proving something was said requires identifying the speaker and of course a reference to the statement in quotes.
If you can do that, please do.
And as an adult, you also recognize that proving something was not said is essentially a contradiction in terms.

Seems your claim is is from an unnamed, unknown source and is only "reportedly" accurate. Plus it's from a UK tabloid owned by Murdock.
That clearly gives it a lower level of credibility, but if it makes you feel good to put it out there, have at it, doubtlessly someone will take it seriously.

After Biden's failures of the current administration I believe you are afraid of any Republican, that is the reason for your obsession with Trump and the Republican Party.
I find it amusing to watch you squirm around with Trump, Trump, Trump. But hey, I guess if you have nothing positive to say about Biden, you would naturally think your trump negativity would get you some points.
Oh Leftau, I am available off and on if you would like to try your hand at interrogation and getting me to say what you want again.

I am getting a little tired of paper tigers like you coming up with BS like that. If you ain't walked the walk Uly don't try talking the talk because you haven't been there. Neither has that POS who made the statement some years ago.
And you never responded to my question. How about explaining yourself and answering my question?
Look to be asked again and again if you don't respond!
And No, I haven't held my breath and I haven't forgotten. Tomorrow is another day. Since you didn't have the courage today to admit you were out of line in your insults to me and the thousands of others in this country who braved the elements and built a business, perhaps tomorrow you will have developed the courage.

Leftau follows, iw what that bought and sold Soros President said about you didn't build that. And read it. He did not say it in 2020 it was 2012. Shows what you know. Of course you don't find it insulting, you didn't build a business and you were his ******* for how many years?
All of that gibberish about roads and bridges and infrastructure is a bunch of BS. People with dreams and vision have been building business for hundreds of years. The Swiss famous for building fine watches, built businesses, small town shopkeepers all over the world built businesses. Some thrived and some failed, but they all, to their credit, tried.
"On July 13, 2012, during a campaign swing through Virginia, Obama stopped in Roanoke to speak to supporters.[16] In his remarks Obama noted that while he was willing to cut government waste, he would not gut investments that grow the economy or give tax breaks to millionaires like himself or Mitt Romney.[11] Obama went on to say that rich people did not get rich solely due to their own talent and hard work, but that, to varying degrees, they owe some of their success to good fortune and the contributions of government.[17] Obama said in this context:
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me – because they want to give something back. They know they didn't – look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something – there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.[18]
Obama then cited the funding of the G.I. Bill, the creation of the middle class, the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam, creation of the Internet, and landing on the moon as examples of what he was talking about.[11]"
All this road and bridges and infrastructurw ia nothing but BS. We all pay road taxes if we drive an automobile. Been doing it since I was 18 and bought my first car. And when I put trucks out on the streets and roads, I paid even more road and bridge taxes.
People built business long before there were automobiles. Obama is full of it and his ******* posting on here is just as full of it.
Obama was insulting to all of those entrepreneurs, who put their hat, *** and spats on the line to build a business, that employed people, paid taxes and were not on public assistance aka welfare.
Yes, the Democrats tried to cover up for the blabbering he was doing, obviously without doing a lot of thinking.
This one phrase says it all.............
"If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
I beg to differ with the SOB!! We all go to school and have teachers that help educate us. We all drive on the roads. We all benefit from infrastructure.
The same opportunities are out there for all. Some decide to take advantage of it in one way, others something else. We are all different nd everybody deserves applause for what they have done and accomplished. Just like the deadbeats who become professional welfare takers deserve our lack of praise if they do nothing to better themselves and get off of it.
But for Barrack Husein Obama to seek out and downgrade those who chose to build a business or even try and fail, is disgusting and low.
Try to put yourself in the place of a business owner who will take the risk of buying multi truckoads of equipment on preseason to take advantage of discounts and stay competitive, then finds the selling season on whatever his/her business turns sour and he has trouble sleeping at night because that business supports his family and those families of his employees, and it dam well better not fail. Payday is Friday. And that Account Payable he has for those truckloads will come due if or not business is booming.
To pick on a business, take an automobile dealer with a lot full of cars and a recession hits. It is a rare dealer that has paid for inventory sitting on his lot. They are what is called on a Floor Plan and there are curtailments to be paid monthly plus everything sold must be paid for when it leaves his lot. Think he isn't a little nervous when a recession hits and cars quit selling in the volume, he needs to make his payments and make that Friday Payroll. Obama didn't mention that. And the builders of those roads and bridges will be nowhere to be found.
In a nutshell Obama insulted a lot of people.

Leftau itxs Monday morning and I am back, are you going to respond or hide?
Leftau, I am reposting this, you charged me with hypocrisy and being out of context. I gave you an opportunity to make your case but you ran and hid. So I will ask you again. Show me where it is out of context and show me where there is hypocrisy.
I am getting a little tired of paper tigers like you coming up with BS like that. If you ain't walked the walk Uly don't try talking the talk because you haven't been there. Neither has that POS who made the statement some years ago.
And you never responded to my question. How about explaining yourself and answering my question?
Look to be asked again and again if you don't respond!
And No, I haven't held my breath and I haven't forgotten. Tomorrow is another day. Since you didn't have the courage today to admit you were out of line in your insults to me and the thousands of others in this country who braved the elements and built a business, perhaps tomorrow you will have developed the courage.
Out of context happens, as in one of the most famous, "...you didn’t build that..."

If you had ever been out there in the trenches and created a successful business out of near nothing resources you might find yourself as insulted by that comment as I did.
A question for you, how many jobs have you created for small growing families and how many paychecks have you signed anywhere except on the back of?

Of President Biden's short list of 19 significant accomplishments, 8 were attained through bipartisan actions of Congress. This was made possible through his ability to work with Senators and mange the job of the presidency.
Trump was clearly incompetent in managing his administration. The fact that democrats opposed Trump is not an excuse. Both Presidents faced strong opposition from the other party. Biden was able to be successful. Trump failed at it.

I will admit that these new style democrats do an excellent job of naming new bills/acts.
Inflation reduction act which it won’t.
Affordable care act which it didn’t.
Sounds great though.
Republicans have a knack for it,too.
Patriot Act. In the hysteria post 9/11 it sure sounded great. We were all patriots till we found it gave unbridled power to spy on US.
Too bad when it was to “sunset” Obama extended it.
One PS to this so called inflation reduction act. What’s with the hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents?
Do away with this burdensome unfair tax system and replace it with a flat tax with very few or no deduction system and trim the IRS by 90%.

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, Aug 8, 2022, at 4:40 PM
Here’s a thought. With 87,000 new IRS agents perhaps pull 86,000 off and stop the robo-callers. If Robo-calling can’t be stopped then what good is the government.

Gen. Miller was set to excoriate Trump in an unreleased resignation letter drafted after the Lafayette Square photo-op.
In his letter, referring to the president, he stated...
"...it is my belief that you are doing great and irreparable harm to my country."
He withheld the letter only because he felt he could better protect the country and Constitution from inside the administration.

Two Possibilities Leftau
You flunked on all 4 excuses
Or Obama is more dense than a box of rocks because what you say ties it in as being relevant is nothing but words and has not thing to do with a statement like the roads and bridges and a teacher etc.
Many successful businesses were built through history without the use of either.
I think more dense than a box of rocks fits, at least from a man that worked his way all the way up to Community Organizer until George Soros purchased him.
"If you have a successful business, you didn't build that!" was an insult to all men and women who did just that!
One more Leftau, I asked you a question, what business did you build to employee people, and how many paychecks have you signed on the front? Got a response for me?

Always demanding links links links and when someone gives in and provides the black and white verbatim you can’t acknowledge you were wrong. I think “out of context was No 3 on my most used excuses by you. He said it. You read it.
It’s not a crime to admit you were wrong. Heck,I did as much several years ago on these posts. I was all about Obama till I figured out his song and dance routine and admitted I was wrong to support him. Didn’t hurt a bit.

Mr. Braswell,
Perhaps you can alleviate the obvious confusion of some. The phrase "you didn’t build that," only refers to a business if taken out of context.
In the context of Obama's entire paragraph, it refers to roads and bridge. That's called reading and understanding something "in context."
Hopefully you can provide him the help he desperately needs.

The centerpiece of the community organizer was "if you had a successful business, you didn't build that!" The rest of that word salad was just useless fluff.

You should recall Trump constantly referring to the military during his administration as “my Generals.”
At one point, apparently frustrated because “his Generals” insisted on following the Constitution, Trump was said to have asked, “Why can’t you be more like German generals?”
When asked what generals he was talking about he said the WW II generals.
One of “his Generals” pointed out that the German generals tried to kill Hitler at least three times.

And Trump did not order the military to do anything like size voting machines or anything close that that I am aware of.
Another item, wshen do you expect Hillary Clinton will be given the same kind of treatment for her illegal rcords actions when she worked in government during the Obama Administration. Or does the same set of law not apply to Democrats who break them.

For you Mr. Lettau, I was mistaken about Trump having the Warrent it appears. He cannot release it because they will not give him a copy. And from what this sounds like The FBI went through the former first Lady's underwear.

For you Mr. Lettau, I was mistaken about Trump having the Warrent it appears. He cannot release it because they will not give him a copy. And from what this sounds like The FBI went through the former first Lady's underwear.
"Revelations that authorities seized classified material from Donald Trump are poised to shift the political ground ahead of US midterm elections and a potential 2024 run by the former president.
"Court documents unsealed by a judge Friday showed investigators removed classified and top-secret materials from Mar-a-Lago on Monday and were searching for evidence of violations of three specific federal criminal laws, including one that’s part of the Espionage Act.
"While Trump said he had declassified the documents and the search was an unnecessary move by his political enemies to attack him, the escalating turmoil is poised to become an issue in midterms, which Republicans have been trying to make a referendum on President Joe Biden and rising prices to regain control of the House and Senate.
"Republican strategist Doug Heye, a former communications director of the Republican National Committee and a Trump critic, said it would be “political malpractice” for Democrats not to use the issue against Republicans who have rallied behind Trump.
“This muddles the Republican message and gives Democrats another thing to push back on so they’re not talking about the issues they don’t want to talk about,” Heye said."

Declassifying documents is not a matter of him just saying so. The classification markings need to be marked out and dated. He didn't do that.

"Trump's latest defense for Mar-a-Lago documents is everyone 'brings home their work from time to time' and the files were automatically declassified."
There's no way that anyone on earth could take that claim seriously.

News Update: It has been revealed that Donald Trump was housing a private server at Mar-a-Lago and hired a close associate to wipe it clean with computer software. The FBI also found government phones which were smashed to prevent evidence from being discovered. Just kidding! That was Hillary Clinton.

Just one more case of SO conservative mouths in motion before SO conservatives brain in gear.
Obama documents were processed by the National Archives and are in possession of their office in Chicago.
Trump documents were government owned, illegally moved, stored outside of Archive control. Their existence was denied by Trump lawyers and the DOJ, after an unsuccessful subpoena, moved to secure all of the classified and unclassified documents through the only means left to them.

The legal search warrant served on Trump was legitimate in every way.
"Gestapo-like" is another figment of his imagination.
The retrieval of government owned classified and unclassified documents that had been illegally moved by Trump to Mar-a-Lago, was initiated by the National Archives in January. Some documents were returned.
In June a subpoena was served for the remaining documents. A Trump lawyer wrote that there were no more.
An inside "whistle-blower" informed the DOJ that there actually more. The search warrant was the only avenue left to reclaim those government owned documents.
This is not a complex issue. Some on here still have problems with facts.

Leftau, why was Trump or his representatives not given a copy documents of the right to a Gestapo raid? Why is it sealed from the public? You were the first on here to demand Trump release something he never had. You think you are so informed, how is it that you didn't know they were being secretive? And yes it is Gestapo like to carry out a raid like that. Or maybe, did they not receive those documents until after the raid?

"The DOJ was under no obligation to release anything."
Not in a hidden Gestapo type operation anyway especially when you have the party in power behind you in a let's get Trump operation. It's just more of that we have unrestrainable dictatorial power mindset which goes along with a Socialism/Communism and Totalitarian Control attitude. Stalin would be proud and Nikita Khrushchev would be saying, I told you so, when I said we would take you over without firing a shot. It's happening in many subtle ways and some not so subtle as in a Gestapo like raid.

What is really strange is how SO Leftist Liberals can spout so called facts but can never seem to find a link to back up their lies. And you Leftau are the chief among them.
But hey I understand it is harder to find Links that back up lies vs links to the truth.
And I never voiced an opinion on if or not he has these documents. I believe I did make a statement that included him in doing questionable deeds and mentioned about three or four Democrats in the same league.
What I don't like is the way the whole mess was handled. It was a Gestapo type operation and we could all be treated equally as shabbily if they thought they had a reason. It is reminiscent of the days of Adolph Hitler.
What I find interesting with the Liberals is that they are doing their finest to see to it that Trump does not run again. Could it be the don't have another brain dead but likeable candidate to run against him. What is even more amusing, is that if they cannot create a reason to keep him off the ballot, they very likely will just increase his resolve and likelihood of running again. And even further unite his base and others to support him. In other words, Leftau, this whole incompetent mess could blow up in your faces. You Democrats have been on his case since he took Hillary down in 2016. Investigate, investigate, investigate and zip, zero to show for it. Almost 6 years of hatred with little to show for it is pretty sad, don't you think Leftau. Financially and security wise we were much better off with Trump at the helm than we are with Joe Biden. Biden has blundered from one thing to another and today is 3 years and 7 months into a very lackluster and failed presidency. Gas is down about a dollar a gallon and still 50% higher than when he took office. A trip to the grocery Store costs roughly twice what it did when Biden took office, and we all eat. Trump didn't lose in 2020, America did!

Seems that SO conservatives are blind to current events.
Recent news stories recounted a former president illegally moving thousands of government owned classified and unclassified documents to Mar-a-Lago.
After a refusal to comply with a subpoena, and falsely claiming there were no more documents, the DOJ issued a legal search warrant for those documents. Based on intelligence from an insider, the FBI lawfully exercised the search and reclaimed the stolen documents.

Former White House Press Secretary Says Classified Information Was Like a 'Shiny New Toy' to Donald Trump
Virginia Chamlee - 3h ago
"Following the FBI's seizure of 11 sets of classified documents from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property, one former White House staffer says Trump's tendency to show off secret information was well known during his time in office.
"According to former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, the now 76-year-old Trump treated classified information as "his own shiny toy he's showing off to his friends to impress them" — and his eagerness to share the info, she added, often trumped any fear that it might put lives in danger."

On the one hand you have said Trump made the agreement without the Afghan government as a party and on the other hand you have tried to say Biden was bound to honor it. But that was after his failures in doing so and then leaving billions worth of valuable military equipment to the terrorists.

Donald Trump Jr. Offers Wildest Defense Yet Of His Dad Over Mar-A-Lago Documents
Josephine Harvey 1 hr ago
"Donald Trump Jr. now claims it would probably be a “good” thing if his father, a private citizen living at a resort in Florida, was still holding on to the nuclear codes.
“By the way, for the record, I’d say that if Donald Trump actually still had the nuclear codes, it’d probably be good,” he said Monday at a campaign event for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).
“Our enemies might actually be like, ‘OK, maybe let’s not mess with them,’ unlike when they look at Joe Biden and they say, ‘You know what? We should attack now.’”
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Aug 23, 2022, at 1:13 AM
Could only be sarcasm. Not nearly well thought out enough to be relevant.
Main point is that it's not necessary to search for Trump screw-ups. He puts them out there every day.
Now it seems that when the National Archives showed up to rightfully collect documents, Trump is said to have put his arms around a box and barked, "Mine."
Not sure how true that tale is, but his advisors all explained that all presidential documents remain government property, so he was aware they were not his. Yet he took over 20 boxes containing about 300 classified documents to Mar-a-Lago.

An excerpt from the article reads as follows. Maybe Leftau could explain what it says to us.....
"The U.S. Constitution and federal law give unreviewable authority to President Trump to take whatever records he wishes at the end of his presidency. The Biden administration’s dishonest depiction of personal records of President Trump it illicitly seized during the raid as “classified” is further demonstration that the raid was a brazen act of raw political abuse."
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Aug 23, 2022, at 8:58 PM
"The US Constitution and federal law give unreviewable authority to President Trump to take whatever records he wishes..."
Neither Mr. Fitton nor Mr. VanGennip have any idea of what the facts are.
Nowhere in the Constitution is there authority for a disgraced, twice impeached former one-term president (or any president) to steal classified and unclassified documents from the White House and transport them to Mar-a-Lago (or any private residence.)
The applicable federal laws are 18 US Code 793, 1519 and 2071. Furthermore, the Presidential Records Act establishes government ownership of all presidential documents.

More crime equals more "nails..."
Georgia closing in on indictments.
Recall "I just need you to find me 11780 votes..."
DOJ and FBI collecting more and more evidence supporting the search warrant listed crimes. Trump claims, "...they're mine!" The documents doubtlessly belong to the US government.

Let's see now, you have trimmed that down from.....
"Now it seems that when the National Archives showed up to rightfully collect documents, Trump is said to have put his arms around a box and barked, "Mine."
Not sure how true that tale is, but his advisors all explained that all presidential documents remain government property, so he was aware they were not his. Yet he took over 20 boxes containing about 300 classified documents to Mar-a-Lago."

Has nothing to do with my ability to search the internet, I do it pretty much daily. However, I did not make the statement and have no intention of doing your work for you. This portion of a statement from you earlier "Not sure how true that tale is,", especially would call your post BS if you cannot show a link to prove it. Why do you keep posting a statement that YOU, are not sure is true? It wouldn't have anything to do with your hatred of Trump, would it?
So Leftau, unless I see a link, based on your own statement, "Not sure how true that tale is,", what you posted regarding, "Trump claims, "...they're mine!", just another of your invented facts.

Feel sorry all you like Leftau. But when it comes to performance with computers I may have forgotten more than you know about them. I started my experience with them with a Model 1 Radio Shack machine. I had my business records on this machine using a program that I saw demonstrated at the ASHRAE show at the McCormick Place in Chicsgo. I flew to Boston to meet with the developers and purchased the needed extra equipment and program from them And with nothing more than long distance phone support I personally installed it and converted our accounting system to it. And it was a networked system with I believe three users. I learned the meaning of floppy swappy. The only hard drive was the Server. You see Leftau, I also had accounting "larning" in my background. My suggestion to you next time you have a problem with getting your computer to perform, see if you can find a 7 year old kid to help you.

Leftau, I will leave you with a thought for the day. First if you really thought Biden was not guilty of what Semo471 has stated he was instead of your blustering, why don't you see if you can prove him wrong.
This whole thread on Trump is nothing but a diversion from what is happening on a daily basis in the Biden Presidency. We have high prices and inflation; unlike anything we have seen in 4o years. The man mumbles and stumbles and you cannot defend it so you keep dwelling on the past. Well let's deal with what Trump left Biden to work with and he couldn't handle it and screwed it all up. He promised to cure Covid if elected and failed, more than 19 months into his presidency it rages on. When Trump left we had roughly $2 per gallon gasoline and 1 1/2% inflation, along with reasonable prices at the grocery. I am leaving the grocery store with essentially the same amount of groceries and roughly twice the bill. And people are celebrating because gasoline is down to $3.129 per gallon while Diesel sets right up there at $4.95. Due to wife's illness and little possibility of using it, I sold my Diesel Pusher motor home over 6 months ago. It would cost me into 5 figures in less value because of Diesel prices had it not sold then. I feel for the guy who purchased it. He got a good motor home at a good price when he purchased it, but with a 150 gallon fuel tank and in round numbers of $5 per gallon think about filling that up. Pretty sure that gentleman's vote will not go for Biden. And before you claim that Biden has nothing to do with it, Oh yes, he does, his failed policies have everything to do with our economy and what is happening. Cause and effect on the economy isn't only to a President's credit when things are going well, they get credit for tanking the economy on their watch just as well.
And his crowning failure, Afghanistan!!! And we don't need to hear about the evacation success, that was just going in with Civilian Aircraft help and correcting the FUBAR when he abandoned all those people by pulling out the military first leaving civilians and billions in military equipment to the mercy of the Taliban.
Yes, yes, I know what is coming next, it was all Trump's fault. Well, no it was not, Trump was not President, Joe Biden was, and he simply was not capable of pulling it off successfully!
Now see if you can make the mistakes and poor management by the Biden Administration look pretty as he is President not Trump!

BTW, did Biden forgive your recent college loans as most freeloaders took out with no intentions of repaying? Yep.

That bit of BS won't fly Leftau. A President's policies and programs have everything to do with inflation and prices. Going from energy independent to energy dependent has everything to do with what the cost of a barrel of oil is here. Supply and Demand, plain and simple.
To say that a President's policies have nothing to do with highs and lows in our country is saying they cannot get either fame or blame for how they manage our country. Even you know better than that Leftau. How come that job becomes uncountable to the citizenry under your presumption.

During the start of the covid pandemic, the US experiences about 20 to 25% of the world cases and deaths, yet we are only about 4.5% of the world's population.
It is a fact that this stemmed from the blindness of Trump's "“It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine,” policy.
Trump and "lows" go together.

Let's see now Water Boy....
Above you seem to be saying when things wind up in the crapper it is all Trump’s fault but then below you say that nobody has control when things go to pot and Biden is at the reins.
But earlier you said.....
"That's ignoring the fact that neither Trump nor Biden have direct control over inflation or OPEC-R oil prices."
Nobody is trying to say Biden called up the oil companies and told them to double the price at the pumps, his policies took care of that. Guess it is all in how you want to define "direct control"
Why is it you need to always go back and start hammering on Trump when you cannot find a way to defend Biden?

Mr. Schaefer,
Are you really this uninformed? Both the classified and unclassified documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago belong to the US government, and are not Trump's property. It is a crime for him to have illegally brought the documents to his home, and there's zero doubt that he's guilty.
Come back to the real world.

US issues 40 subpoenas about Trump’s failed bid to overturn the 2020 election
The justice department has cast a wide net seeking tips on efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to submit alternatives slates of fake electors

•
The US Justice Department has issued about 40 subpoenas over the past week seeking information about efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election, the New York Times reported on Monday.
Boris Epshteyn, a longtime Trump adviser, and Mike Roman, a campaign strategist for Trump, had their phones seized last week as evidence, the Times said, citing people familiar with the situation.
Dan Scavino, Trump’s former social media director, was also among those who were subpoenaed, according to the paper, which said the group included low-level aides as well as senior advisers.
An attorney for Scavino did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters, while Reuters was unable to contact Roman and Epshteyn.
The subpoenas seek information on a failed bid by the former president and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election by submitting alternative slates of fake electors.
The inquiry is also looking at the assault on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 by Trump supporters.
Some of the subpoenas also seek information on Trump’s Save America political fundraising group, which the Times said was a new line of inquiry by the justice department.
In recent polls, American voters ranked “threats to democracy” as the most important issue facing the country. At a time of climate collapse, inflation and a pandemic, this is a remarkable statement on the fragility of America’s fundamental rights and freedoms.
The country is seeing a dizzying number of assaults on democracy, from draconian abortion bans to a record number of book bans. Politicians who spread lies and sought to delegitimatize the 2020 election are pursuing offices that will put them in control of the country’s election machinery. Meanwhile, the supreme court is enforcing its own agenda on abortion, guns and environmental protections – often in opposition to public opinion.

Since Biden has been a proven liar all his life,you pick.
Did Trump win? No
He was hated enough by some to elect the worst president in my lifetime.
When and if there’s a determination about who the documents belong to or were they illegally taken,etc I’ll make a call on it as you should. There is a little thing called innocent till proven guilty. You should abide by that.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Sep 13, 2022, at 6:02 PM
I think it was the Washington Post that meticulously kept a list of Trump lies.

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Sep 13, 2022, at 6:48 PM
It's not a question of innocent till proven guilty. It's a fact that his theft of classified and unclassified documents from the White House is a crime. Everyone knows that.
If Bonnie and Clyde rob a bank and hundreds of people watch them do it and knew who they were, it's senseless to claim they're innocent. They're criminals that just haven't been put on trial yet.
The same's true of Trump. He's admitted guilt but just hasn't been indicted yet.

DA is correct, innocent until proven guilty. Nor does an indictment make one guilty.

This is reality...
Trump search warrant cites statutes that carry possible multiyear prison sentences
The FBI’s search warrant targeting former President Donald Trump’s private club listed three statutes that were used to justify the seizure of boxes and documents from the property, some of them marked as top secret.
Under a heading that reads “Property to be seized,” the warrant refers to: “All physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 793, 2071 , or 1519.”
• 18 U.S.C. §§ 793: Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information, which carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
• 18 U.S.C. §§ 2071: Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally, which carries a penalty of up to three years in prison and disqualification from holding office (more on this below).
• 18 U.S.C. §§ 1519: Destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in Federal investigations and bankruptcy, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
FBI agents on Monday raided Trump’s home and private Florida club, Mar-a-Lago. The former president and his attorneys have argued that the president declassified the materials before the end of his one term in office.

Guess Leftau has no answers. He doesn't seem to understand that, what is on that search warrant is suspicions not proof of what they were looking for. And they are certainly not indictments. But he parrots over and over, just read the search warrant. If this is so cut and dried, why is there no indictments.
What this whole charade is in reality..... The longest running political vendetta in our country's history. It all began on the evening of November 8th, 2016 when Trump pulled off one of the biggest upsets in our history over Hillary Clinton and it continues to this day.
If the Democratic Party cannot find a good enough reason to indict and convict Trump this go around, they should be made to reimburse our country and taxpayers for every hour that have been wasted on this political vendetta.

Per the latest rant from our former President, he claims that if he’s indicted, there will be massive “rioting in the streets.”
The question is how are they going to express their “rage.” Will they start burning down businesses, shooting police officers, beating up random civilians whose only crime is not wearing a MAGA hat?
So how do SO conservatives plan on venting their rage. It’s likely that Trump’s criminality would be excused for one reason or another. Perhaps they’ll just keep writing nasty letters about normal Americans and sane republicans.

No, it does not Water Boy, it only identifies the laws someone is accusing him of violating. The is that little thing out there you have such a hard time of wrapping your mind around Leftau, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a Judge and jury of your peers.
I thought, surely that you would have received enough education by now to have learned that much college boy.
So the accusations on that Search Warrent were nothing but accusations which may or may not be accurate and end in a indictment, which initself is a proof of nothing other than they suspect the subject of being guilty. Then the suspect is afforded a trial by jury, and it is up to a Judge and Jury of the suspect lawbreaker's Peers to try and find him/her guilty or not guilty as charged.
So, your stating that Trump is guilty, is nothing more than a useless opinion so far as the laws of this country are written. You may not like it, but that is TS, it is the way things are done in a Countru of laws as ours is.
While I don't expect any thanks from you Water Boy, You Are Welcome to the little lesson given due to the lack of your knowledge of our System of Justice.
Further, despite your denial of it, there is a Political Vendetta as can be recognized by any thinking individual, and you and the Democratic Party will not be happy until The Get Trump Vendetta results in an indictment and conviction. How long will you carry on the Vendetta if that satisfaction is not received? It is damaging the Country!
One more thing, if it were not strictly a get Trump Vendetta and you and the Democrats are really after seeing justice served, why is it that you have not gone after Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden and his Son with as much vengeance.
My opinion, you could care less about justice, it is revenge you are after!

You still have zero understanding of reality.
The warrant identified that the object of the search was classified and unclassified government owned documents that had been stolen from the White House. Were these documents found, the laws stipulated in the warrant were clearly violated.
The documents were found, so guess who is now a criminal? So what else is new?

Leftau, you are a slow learner, there is no special law applying to Donald Trump. He gets afforded a chance to present his side of the story, like it or not. And you are right back in there with a He is guilty, and you do not give a Tinker's Dam about what the law says, he is guilty. Thankfully slow people like yourself's opinions do not count for anything in a Country of Laws. In reality there is going to be a lot of lawyering back and forth before it is over. I know your Vendetta doesn't have room for law and order, but I will give you odds law and order will prevail before all is said and done.

Your eagerness stands out like a sore thumb. You obviously have a fierce hate for the guy, and yes, I know he defeated poor Hillary, and she has been dreaming of being President since she was a little girl, and dam it, it was her turn too!

Leftau, i will ask you again
1. How many indictments are there currently issued on Trump?
2. Why do you think there is such a delay if they have the goods to convict him with?
3. Have you seen any of the so called evidence they picked up from Trump's residence?
4. Could you personally swear any indictable evidence exists if called upon to do so?
5. Regarding 4. if you have not seen it you would have to be lying if you said yes would you not?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Sep 16, 2022, at 5:24 PM
1. About 4 or 5 in process, none served to date.
2. The entire process has always been slow.
3. Yes.
4. Yes, based on physical evidence displayed visually. Why would you doubt that classified documents are behind the classified cover sheets?
5. No. You don't pay much attention to news broadcasts, do you? Why are you so obsessed with defending Trump's criminality?

Leftau, I am not defending anything. But I am a realist and I know how the system is supposed to work.
I do not approve or condemn everything Trump. But I am grateful for saving us from Hillary Clinton first and foremost and 2nd putting us and leaving us in a much better situation than Biden's blundering has placed us.
So far as what I am planning to do if he is indicted. If your attention span was normal, you would realize I already told you. It will be the same thing I did today, yesterday, the day before that and what I did last week.
If you need specifics, it will be to attend to a sick wife and to spend time trying to catch up and keep up with managing my rental property.

Water Boy, didn't hear anything back on if or not you k=now know and understand what I will be doing if Trump gets indicted.
And we all know what you will be doing if and when you hear of it. It will be running down your leg.
What i think the holdup up is the Democrats involved want to hold this off so they can have him tied up in proceedings if he runs for President. You can count on it they will try to gain the maximum political benefit if it happens at all. It is that same old Political Vendetta which has been going on since November of 2016.

First Leftau as much as you hate the man, he is not totally incompetent, you may reserve that label for the brain dead President we now suffer!
My competence is not involved here Leftau and you might not want to go there before I get personal with you and your own competence.
I never made a supposition/statement on classified documents and the disposition of them one way or the other. My taxes are paying for Judges and Juries to make that decision. I am no way involved in it. Any information I have on the subject are heresay via people like you or the press. So, I am content to sit back and watch the outcome.
Further Leftau, I believe there was some question regarding Barack Hussein Obama and government documents. Why aren't you shooting off your big mouth on that subject. Or are you so incompetent that you cannot see a wrong in a Democrat. Further, that you think they are all pure and holy and that is why you are a water boy for them. I was promoted from packing water for the field hands, when I was maybe 8 or 10 years old. How old do you have to be before you can quit?

You did not say he, you said "you", and that is how I took it to mean me as you have tried for months to get me to tell you where I stand on Trump. If you meant he instead of you, meaning what I took was directed at me, then I retract what I said.
Very few people I agree with 100%, and Trump would be one of the majority there. But given him running against someone e like Biden again, he would get my vote again because he is more capable than Biden, and God forbid anyone like Hillary Clinton ever becoming President. My regard for politicians period is at an all time low.

Leftau, your reading comprehension stinks. I defended nothing. I plainly gave you either or situations. It is a typical pick the best of the worst candidates I gave you. Biden is clearly unfit for yhe job. He cannot find his *** with his hands in his hip pockets, so to speak and I cannot stand the likes of Hillary Clinton. Can you defend her doing government business on an unsecured server in her residence and destroying government property by bleach bitting said server? No, you don't address those situations but you have literally indicted and found Trump guilty on this forum. Regardless of what he may or may not have done. Our system of justice says he gets a fair trial.

There is nothing about his continued irrational defense of Trump that I "refuse to understand."
It's a matter of evidence and facts overwhelmingly pointing to a lack of innocence. That even overlooks his being caught red-handed with stolen classified government documents in his office in Mar-a-Lago.
I also understand that his being indicted is just a matter of time. It's only bona-fide Trumpists that cling desperately to the "presumption of innocence" in hopes that more Trump appointed judges will unethically protect him.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Sep 18, 2022, at 9:43 AM
Furthermore, there has never been any defence of Clinton's us of private servers. As I've mentioned several times before, in my opinion, it was her email use, aggravated by Comey's last minute "investigation" that cost her the election.

Mr. Braswell,
It could be your leaky attention span, but there has never been any denial that strictly by the rule of law our one-term, twice impeached, disgraced "insurrection" leader, can be presumed innocent, in spite of the facts and evidence to the contrary.
And I have never disputed that position. Yet some hold that view in disregard of Trump's various "confessions" to criminal acts. Recall the "I just need you to find me 11,780 votes," or "but first you have to investigate Biden to find dirt."
I have no reason to object to you and Mr. VanGennip trying to proclaim his innocence for now. Did you assert that Bonnie and Clyde were totally innocent till a court convicted them? Or did you suspect they were guilty after the public witnessed so many of their crimes.

Not if you mentioned it once or twice and shut up about it. But on and on and on as in your stateent above. And you always manage to leave out part of it. As in the part about being found not guilty as charged in the two politically motivated impeachments and the on and on Russian involvement which was from an inquiry by a political opponent, Hillary Clinton and paid for with campaign funds. And the entire thing was correctly judged to be a pack of lies.
So keep on whining and telling half of the story. He beat Hillary Clinton fair and square, get over it!
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Sep 18, 2022, at 3:54 PM
That's what I've said all along about Clinton losing.
Did she attempt to convince her supporters the she won in a landslide?
Did she call state officials to demand they find her more votes?
Did she support states preparing slates of fake electors?
Did she call her supporters to come to Washington to attack the Capital?
All of those answers are no. Yet for Trump all those answers are yes.
Bit of a difference there, right?

Leftau, I told you this before. Hillary Clinton did protest and she did try to get someone from the Electoral College to change their vote, as did AL Gore lawyer against Bushes winning. So the precedent had been set and Trump doubled down.
And Leftau as far as you forcing me to make a statement to you regarding an election that I would be going strictly on heresay, if you really knew me, you would understand that you would have more luck shoving butter up a wildcats *** with a red hot poker than you would succeeding at putting words in my mouth.

I have had to call you out on that little trick of yours that you think you are clever enough to entrap me on more than once. You failed once more. As I told you before, I could care less about Hillary Clinton so long as she never gets another office in the Federal Government higher than Janitor. You may make all of the statements you like, I see no need to start a useless conversation on something somebody has not done. Trump, Hillary Clinton nor Joe Biden have never been to the moon either so far as I am aware. How about sticking to what people actually do. Assumptions and Opinions count for nothing there also.

Proud Boys leader and top members charged with seditious conspiracy over January 6
It is a serious federal crime to commit seditious conspiracy or to participate in an insurrection against the government.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 2384, “seditious conspiracy” occurs when two or more persons: conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof.
Individuals charged with seditious conspiracy can be fined and could serve up to 20 years in prison.

Water Boy, since you have nothing to go on but bluster, now you seem to think you can bullshit me into getting what you want. Not going to happen Little Man.
So far as management ability, and this has nothing to do what I think of Trump one way or the other, all a "Thinking Person" has to do is look at how Trump left the economy and how Biden has screwed it up. If Biden had not been so fired up with wiping out Trump’s successes with Executive Orders and followed along with programs in place, America would be better off.
Now you may take that anyway you like, but the fact is I am talking about management ability and nothing else.
If you had signed a few paychecks on the front instead of the back, you might be in a position to understand what I am saying. Having signed the front of paychecks for a couple of 20 years and out folks I am fully aware of illogical thinking like yours Water Boy.

“The pandemic is over,” he told 60 Minutes from the Detroit Auto Show. “We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one is wearing masks. Everyone seems to be in pretty good shape. I think it’s changing, and I think this is a perfect example of it.”
The Centers for Disease Control notes that nearly 400 Americans are still dying per day from Covid-19 and that over 1,047,000 have died since the pandemic began, as of Monday.

The Trump economy shrank by 5.1% in 2020.
The Biden economy grew by 5.7% in 2022.
Lettau: You have links to back up your statements or are they just your opinion? BTW, wasn't the USA economy shut down for most of 2020 due to the Chinese virus and the Blue State Governors and mayors - you know, truthful statements, something you have a shortage of? Also, Lettau wasn't the Biden Inflation for 2022 in the 8% to 9.1% range for most of the year....Lettau, you are soooooooooo easy!

Lettau: Sure is an easy job of correcting your misinformation and it sure is a joy in doing so. LOL at you as always!
"Most of those deaths, some 600,000, happened after Biden took office in January 2021 at the peak of a major wave of the disease."

Yeah, got a moment here, before I run. Water Boy forgets the part about where the rubber hits the road and gasoline is 100% higher than it was when Trump left office. Diesel is worse, then there is the increase in food and most everything else we use.
And Semo471 you named it, the inflation tax highest since Jimmy Carter.
Need to run.

Apparently you believe the President controls everything.
Gas prices are set by OPEC-R, and have steadily dropping for quite a few weeks.
Inflation is also a worldwide issue, and is lower here than virtually anywhere else.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 11:42 AM
Lettau: Gas prices are based on supply and demand and when Demented Biden went to war against the USA Oil/Gas Industries and created a shortage that's when the gas prices started to go up in the USA which was in Feb. 2021. You might want to google it.
The Biden 8.3% Inflation in the USA is what concerns me and not what it is elsewhere - good try at spinning the facts!
See where the Bidens were late arriving at the Queen's funeral and had to sit in the 14th row behind the Pres. of Poland....guess Biden had an personal accident. LOL
See where the White House Biden cleanup spokesperson walking back most of Biden's CBS 60 minutes comments....good grief just keep Biden in the basement!

Of course the President doesn't control everything, but his policies sure as hell have a way of affecting most things

A 2nd thought Leftau, if you don’t think President's have ay control over anything you sure have made one big lie out of this thread on Trump. You have verbally convicted him of about everything imaginable.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 2:04 PM
Haven't "convicted" him of anything. Telling the truth about him only shows what crimes and offenses he can be charged with.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 2:12 PM
Leftau you said a President's actions have no consequence when covering for Brain Dead Biden, why do they have consequence for Trump then?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 2:35 PM
Because Trump committed crimes. Biden didn't.
Furthermore, I did not say their actions had no consequences, I said there were issues beyond their control.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 5:39 PM
1:59– Haven’t “convicted” him of anything.

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 6:53 PM
"Because Trump committed crimes. Biden didn't."
As I sad earlier you are convicting Trump in print. And he hasn't been indicted of anything.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 7:00 PM
Mr. Braswell,
How is it you're unaware that stealing government classified documents is a crime. How would you define it?
Or do you not feel that conspiracy to commit vote fraud (just find me 11,780 votes) is not a crime. What do you call it?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 7:38 PM
Have you figured out that criminals get indicted after they commit crimes, not before. Trump just hasn't been indicted yet.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 7:59 PM
You’ve had him convicted and locked up since the day he was elected so get over your self and let events play out.
Get this part through your thick head—-not defending him just waiting on things to play out that’s way above either of our pay scales. You should ,too.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Sep 20, 2022, at 8:52 PM
Again, telling the truth about him is not "convicting him."
Sorry if facts bother you.

Leftau you have repeated that statement countless times. Could you swear to it, just what Trump meant by that statement. We all know what you think which counts for nothing in a court of law. Do you think you are really into the man's mind deep enough to determine exactly what he meant by that? We have been shown what it means to a Democrat many times. Go bring in another box or bag full of votes that were marked up before the election took place, just in case they were needed.
Now to all other readers, I seriously think we need to start a fund for counseling if they do not indict and lock up Trump, the Water Boy is pretty sure going to need counseling.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 12:05 AM
Once again Biden misspoke and his handlers have to walk back 99% of his comments from the CBS 60 Minutes program. Shouldn't they just put a gag on him and keep him hid in the basement....what a poor excuse is Joe Biden!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 7:54 AM
Mr. VanGennip,
Here are his exact words. You may not know what he meant, but the rest of the world does.
Trump said: “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”
He insisted: “There’s no way I lost Georgia. There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.”
Except he didn't. More trump lies.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 8:23 AM

Except that this was while the vote counting was going on and he could easily have believed he won.
Can you prove differently Water Boy?
"You may not know what he meant, but the rest of the world does."
Would that be a fact or another figment of your imagination Water Boy?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 9:11 AM
This was on January 2nd. Long after he knew he lost.
Just how far will you go to defend Trump?
The part that most likely to be fact is "You may not know what he meant..."
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 9:59 AM
Biden stepped in it deep declaring the pandemic is over. The DNC is in a panic. They need those mail in ballots.

You failed to answer...
Trump said: “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”
So you don't recognize Trump's own words, his "confession" as a conspiracy to coerce Raffensperger commit fraud?
How far will you go to defend Trump?

“ but why do think the pandemic is no over?”
You on a Chinese keyboard?😂
Weren’t you constantly harping about the mismanagement of the epi,er,pandemic early on? Even with more mismanagement,misinformation and more than double the deaths it’s suddenly an epidemic?
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 2:28 PM

Just curious, Mr. Braswell, when you look around SE Missouri today, do you see the same "pandemic" that we experienced in 2020 under the Trump covid-19 mismanagement days?
No, that's why the pandemic can be considered over.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 3:26 PM
You mean when Biden said there was no vaccine right after he got his shot?
Of course the disease has waned. They all do. After Bidens claim lots of REAL disease experts disputed him. Some called it “political theater”. Imagine that. Some said too early to make that call. Suddenly though all that mismanagement and claimed misinformation in the early days is being admitted to by CDC and others. The whole thing was a CF then and continues now.

Leftau, the epidemic has abated but to say it is over is showing your ignorance.
And before you start grtabbing glory for Biden who has done literally nothing to stop it. The diseas3e is more under control because of the work the scientists at places like Phiser and Moderna did. Joe Biden tried to claim the credit for that but he did little to nothing that was not alread being done. Trump only did one thing and that was to get government out of the way so the scientists could work. The vaccines were developed in record time due to getting government out of the way and distribution was already started when Biden came aboard. Proof, Biden took a shot before taking office. The only thing government did to control things was get the hell out of the way.
I am not defending Trump as you are going to try and put words in my mouth as doing as soon as I get through typing, but to his credit I think getting out of the way was the right thing for government to do. I think that was the correct policy.

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 5:41 PM
I agree with you there...
Trump getting and staying out of way, was the best thing he did. This allowed the CDC, USAMDIID, NIH, NIAID, and VRC to work seamlessly with their private medical research partners to develop vaccines in record time.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 5:55 PM

Not to defend Trump, but to set the record straight.
You bluster and try to bluff people into believing what are nothing but your insinuations and lies, I present the following....
Your lies and deceptions are easy to debunk Leftau. If he had asked an election official to cheat the media would be all over it. As it was they got blown out of the water in their reporting on that little non event. You may note, one of his attorneys was on that call.
Leftau, you are the purveyor of half truths and outright lies in your zealous get Trump campaign. it is at least partially a thinlyveiled effort to take the heat off Biden.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Sep 21, 2022, at 9:52 PM
I agree with you there...
Trump getting and staying out of way, was the best thing he did.
But Leftau that is not what I said, your twisting it makes your statement a lie, I said he kept government out of the way.
And Leftau the above little statement of yours about Trump goes against the lie that you repeated at least several dozen times in the past couple of years about bungling the job. If he was out of the way how did he bungle and mishandle the job. Caught yourself in your own web of lies that time Windbag!
We got caught with a new disease in Pandemic proportion with no defense or vaccines to handle it and it is all Trump's fault according to you presumably for the deaths as well. But the Trump administration handed Biden vaccines through their cooperation with the scientists from the drug companies in speeding things up along with a start on disribution. Yet with this gift to the Biden administration they had more deaths on their hands than he did. Please explain this Leftau.
Sorry I was not around to help educate you Water Boy, but I was called to the deathbed of one of my very best friends this afternoon. Ne is still with us but barely.

Covid-19 deaths in 2020 were because of a failure to mitigate.

Trump clearly did not want Raffensperger to simply check to ensure there were not some uncounted votes. He specifically wanted him to "find" 11780 votes for Trump.

'Donald Trump is beatable': Ex-ambassador authors a GOP game plan for defeating the 'would-be autocrat'
When Rep. Liz Cheney lost a GOP congressional primary in Wyoming to challenger Harriet Hagemen by 38 percent on August 16, the takeaway for many Republicans was: don’t cross Trump. The arch-conservative Cheney has been attacking former President Donald Trump relentlessly over the January 6, 2021 insurrection, while Hagemen campaigned on a stridently pro-MAGA platform — and Cheney will be gone from the U.S. House of Representatives in 2023.
But in an op-ed published by Politico on Labor Day 2022, James B. Foley — a former U.S. ambassador to Haiti under President George W. Bush and to Croatia under President Barack Obama — emphasizes that Trump is not invincible even though many Republicans believe that he is. And Foley does not believe that a Trump nomination is inevitable in the 2024 GOP presidential primary.
“Almost without exception, the potential Republican candidates for the party’s presidential nomination in 2024 are showing conspicuous deference to Donald Trump, bordering on fear,” Foley explains. “Their reticence is understandable with the party still largely in his grip, but it’s hardly a way of persuading voters they are presidential timber, even at this early stage. Their theory of victory appears to hinge almost entirely on the possibility that Trump will be sidetracked or disqualified from running in 2024 or that primary voters will simply tire of his ceaseless chaos.”
Foley continues, “They secretly hope the former president slips on a legal banana peel while professing to abhor any such thing. This is plainly a strategy for losing, an approach that paves Trump’s way to the Republican nomination once again in the likely event he enters the race. But for GOP candidates who actually aspire to defeat Trump in the political arena, there are ways to take him down, particularly by focusing on his disastrous foreign policy record…. The fact is, Donald Trump is beatable.”
Foley, now 65, goes on to say that as a “long-time U.S. diplomat,” he has seen his share of bullies along the way — and Trump, according to Foley, fits that profile.
“I have seen his type around the world; he is a would-be autocrat who lacks the vision, discipline and basic competence to achieve anything of enduring significance — a piker compared to world historical demagogues of the recent past, or even our home-grown variety like Huey Long,” Foley observes. “Nonetheless, Trump does possess one trait that is critical in politics: a killer instinct. Armed with a talent for ridicule, he has an ability to sense his opponents’ weaknesses and to exploit them ruthlessly. And yet Trump is himself an extremely fat target for ridicule, with massive liabilities as a candidate for reelection.”
Foley goes on to cite some anti-Trump lines of attack that he believes other Republicans could successfully use against him: (1) Trump is a “stone-cold loser,” (2) Trump is a “foreign policy bungler,” (3) Trump encouraged “surrendering Afghanistan,” (4) Trump favored “putting Russia first,” and (5) Trump is a “phony tough guy.”

Mr. Braswell,
Biden already beat Trump, and has no reason to run. Any of a handful of democrats couldn't help but win against Trump.
The only way republicans can win is run somebody other than Trump. Even republicans don't want his losing characteristics in the race.

Had you ever paid attention to the real Trump, you'd have switched parties. He's always been hard to defend, getting harder to defend now, isn't it?

Water Boy, any way you look at it we were better off where we were than what your Democrats brought to us.

I prefer Trump not to run but I’d sure like to see that list of “handful of Democrats”.

A kid saw an old man drowning and jumped in to save him. Low and behold it was Joe Biden who promised the kid anything he wanted for saving his life. The kid thought a minute and decided on a new video game system and a motorized wheelchair. Old Joe said I can understand the game system but what about the motorized wheelchair. The kid said when my Dad finds out I saved Joe Bidens life I’ll need it.

In 1992 while being interviewed by MTV, Bill Clinton was asked if he wore boxers or briefs? Clinton replied, "Boxers"
In 2008 US magazine asked Obama, "Boxers or briefs"? Obama declined to answer the question.

I grew up in Bollinger County and still have many close ties there.

Leftau the people I know, are realists, they know politicians lie. It has nothing to do with worship of if or not a politician lies. And please don't bring up George Washington, he was hardly a modern politician. Today's politicians pretty much operate under the following set of principle. They would only lie......
1.) To protect the honor of a lady.
2.) To cover their own ***.
3.) Or if it sounded better than the truth
Personally, I think number 3 covers you Leftau.
And Leftau don't ever sell people short, they recognize the various lies politicians tell to get elected. But they also are smart enough to figure out under who's administration they are better off. Paying around $2 for gasoline or $4+ dollars for gasoline. Diesel isn't nearly that good. It is rnning close to $5 per gallon.
And that is the tip of the iceberg. They can easily tell who's policies brought this burden upon them. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the policies that treated their wallets the best. Trump's or Brain-Dead Man Walking.

From Psychology Today:
Some people find it difficult to interact meaningfully with those who hold differing views. They tend to shut down any debate by ridiculing others or by labeling them if they don’t agree with their views on, say, healthcare, environmental, or immigration policies. In essence, they are afraid of and/or are intolerant towards any opposing views.

Leftau, I don't need grammar class, you wrote it, I just read it. I write clearly and speak clearly and there is usually very little doubt what I have said Little Man.
Sister Rose Virginia taught me grammar in about the third grade and she also taught me how to write and speak in a clear concise manner at all times
I have had little time to speak to anyone in Bollinger County this past 4 plus years as we came home from being down South for the winter in 2018 and found out within a coupe of months my wife had a serious illnes that we have been battling since. I have been in Bollinger County once for less than 4 hours since that time. So no, I don't have daily conversation with anyone there, but I trust them and know what kind of people they are, so don't try snowing me with a bunch of your BS Water Boy.
As I told you before, I think there are a lot of folks in Bollinger County and elsewhere who would go back to the Trump Administration and the economy of those years vs this CF Biden has made of it in the short time he has been around.
Like it or not, that is how I feel and how I see it. Did I like everything Trump, absolutely not, but it beat what we have going now.
You carry on your vendetta to get Trump till hell freezes over, I could care less. He is a big boy; he can take care of himself.
You can try to set yourself up as better educated and superior and you can sling a few insults, but if you think I didm't know what you were trying to say and how you said it so poorly and confused, I thought using it to advantage was funny. Guess you weren't amused from listening to you bleat and boast.

Neither control oil prices or inflation. Not sure how supply and demand work in your imaginary universe, but in the real world it drives pricing and inflation.
Of course it's a bad situation and hard to control; the only way it could be worse is if Trump were in charge.

"In reality, Trump inherited a good economy, and as a result of his inability to handle the pandemic passed on a "mess" to Biden."
More from Leftau's Land of Lunacy!
Trump inherited an economy that was the slowest to grow from a recession since the Great Depression and he built on it.
The Pandemic was not something he created nor was it anything this country had to deal with in over 100 years. When turnedd over to Biden, the economy was fine, removal of Government roadblocks by Trump's Administration allowed science to develope vaccines in record time and start the distrubtion process. However Biden and his handlers were more interested in removing anything that could be claimeed as a success by Trump, since the entire Democratic Party hated his guts and had failed in their efforts to unseat while he was in office. In the doing, Biden and crew took us from energy independence to energy dependence and doubled prices on fuel. They took us from a border under control to a border totally out of control with hordes of illegals they would like to convert to Democrats in the future.
Now Biden, that is reality so try working that into the Leftau Land of Lunacy you spout with regularity.

Another Trump blunder....
Special Report: Trump told Saudi: Cut oil supply or lose U.S. military support -
By Timothy Gardner, Steve Holland, Dmitry Zhdannikov, Rania El Gamal
WASHINGTON/LONDON/DUBAI (Reuters) - As the United States pressed Saudi Arabia to end its oil price war with Russia, President Donald Trump gave Saudi leaders an ultimatum.
In an April 2 phone call, Trump told Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that unless the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) started cutting oil production, he would be powerless to stop lawmakers from passing legislation to withdraw U.S. troops from the kingdom, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The threat to upend a 75-year strategic alliance, which has not been previously reported, was central to the U.S. pressure campaign that led to a landmark global deal to slash oil supply as demand collapsed in the coronavirus pandemic - scoring a diplomatic victory for the White House.
Trump delivered the message to the crown prince 10 days before the announcement of production cuts. The kingdom’s de facto leader was so taken aback by the threat that he ordered his aides out of the room so he could continue the discussion in private, according to a U.S. source who was briefed on the discussion by senior administration officials.
The effort illustrated Trump’s strong desire to protect the U.S. oil industry from a historic price meltdown as governments shut down economies worldwide to fight the virus. It also reflected a telling reversal of Trump’s longstanding criticism of the oil cartel, which he has blasted for raising energy costs for Americans with supply cuts that usually lead to higher gasoline prices. Now, Trump was asking OPEC to slash output.

"Post all of the errors and mismanagement you find..."
These are quotes from the 2 months the the President dithered, delayed, denied and deferred. In my opinion this is why we have about 25% of the cases and deaths with only 4.6% of the population.
Trump’s Responses to the Coronavirus Outbreak
Jan 22 “We pretty much have it under control. It’s one person coming in from China.”
Also “We have it totally under control.”
Feb 2 “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China. It’s going to be fine.”
Feb 24 “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock market starting to look very good to me!”
Feb 25 “CDC and my administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
Feb 25 “I think that’s a problem that’s going to go away. They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re close to a vaccine.”
Feb 26 “The fifteen cases within a couple of days is going to be down to c;lose to zero.”
Feb 26 “We’re going very substantially down, not up.”
Feb 27 “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
Feb 28 “We’re ordering a lot of supplies, We’re ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn’t be ordering unless it was something like this. But we’re ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
Mar 2 “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don’t think that could have an impact, or much of an impact on Corona?”
Mar 2 “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.
Mar 4 “If we have thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work – some of them go to work, but they get better.”
Mar 5 “I NEVER said that people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
Mar 6 “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
Mar 6 “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. And the tests are beautiful. They are perfect, just like the letter was perfect. The transcript was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that, but pretty good.
Mar 6 “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Everyone of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for President?”
Mar 6 “I don’t need to have the numbers double b/c of 1 ship that wasn’t our fault.”
Mar 8 “We have a perfectly coordinated, and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on Coronavirus.
Mar 9 “The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power to inflame the Coronavirus situation.”
Mar 10 “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.
Mar 23 “I’ve felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic”
"I've always viewed it as very serious.”
Really?
This is why we had about 5 times the cases and deaths that we should have had, based on population.

Looks like even in Schaefer's fantasy world they recognize that Obama left a solid economy for Trump, and they see that Trump left a mess for Biden.
Nevertheless Biden's scored more legislative accomplishments in 2 years than Trump ever did.
Recall back in 2018, when every week seemed to be "infrastructure week;" it never happened and Trump failed again. And this was a program that about 90% of the nation wanted, including republicans.

Unless you can explain why all that chatter was what caused the higher number, it is no more that hate generated opinion. What about Joe Biden going to wipe Covid out. Didn't happen in spite of the running start Trump's team gave him with the vaccines developed in record time because of cutting the red tape hindering the Scientists. And mind you the vaccine which Biden himself took, before assuming office.
If all of that rhetoric is to cover Brain Dead Man Walking's poor performance, it is a weak effort. Anything the Dims and or Biden saw wrong, why didn't they simply write up another EO for Slow Joe to stutter over and try to explain. Those he signed to cancel out Trump's successes are what is hurting America to this day.
The fact remains, we had energy independence and a stable economy on the morning of Jan 20, 2021.

Sure he can Semo471. He has been using it since Jan 20, 2017!
It's TRUMP'S fault!!!
If it doesn't rain upstream I am hearing that the Barges going to market with our Farmer's grain will not be able to carry full loads running up the cost of grain.
And who's fault will that be???
Why it will be TRUMP'S fault!!!
If you don't believe it, just ask Leftau, he will explain it for you.

Leftau, I don't know if you missed this part of growing up or what is your problem over there in the Leftau Land of Lunacy, but real Americans have a sense of fair play. And some of your BS just begs for clarification and fair play. So I lay it out as I see it. If it doesn't suit your agenda out there in the Leftau Land of Lunacy, TS, I will still lay it out as I see it. Trump isn't the most perfect human to ever walk on earth, but he stands head and shoulders over Brain Dead Man Walking Biden, when it comes to getting things done and foresight. In their anxiety to even the score with Trump for defeating Hillary Clinton in 2016, the Democrats put a man with likeability and near zero abilities in the race to even the score with and defeat him. America loses! We are laughed at on the world stage for electing such a shell of a man to lead the World's Greatest Country.
The fact that I don't agree with you on almost everything comes from your slanted view of everything so long as it is not Democrat Dogma. As a matter of fact on the rare chance that I found myself in agreement with your points after reading you for the past several years I would grab a medical thermometer and take my temperature to see if I was running a fever.
Cheers!

My "slanted view of everything..."
Try a reality check on the issue of the 2020 election.
From months before the election, Trump claimed that the only way he could lose is if it was rigged. He then insisted that he won in a landslide. Sadly, some still believe him.
State and national election officials proclaimed it to be free and fair. Biden won about 7 million more votes than Trump did. About 3 million more votes went to 3rd party candidates, not Trump. Many more votes were cast without a presidential vote. Numerous republicans won in states that Trump lost.
Over 60 lawsuits claiming election fraud of various types were denied. The Supreme Court declined to intervene. Large numbers of republicans agreed the election was fair and Trump lost.
My view is that the election was fair and honest and any minor irregularities that could have occurred did effect any outcome nationally.
I do not consider my view to be slanted. Do you?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Sep 27, 2022, at 9:59 AM
Clearly that was to have been "...did not..." effect the outcome...

Leftau here is what I said and I stand by it.....
"The fact that I don't agree with you on almost everything comes from your slanted view of everything so long as it is not Democrat Dogma."
Leftau, the 2020 election and all of it's claims and counter claims are not the only issues in this country...
And from day one right or wrong Your views have been 100% anti Trump. Your anti Trump rant and rhetoric started within hours of Trump being declared the winner in November 2016. You remember the, Now that he has elevated himself to a Pedestal rant. Maybe not exact words but essentially the thought conveyed is there. And your rants have continued unabated ever since.
Your whole being is Democrat good, all else evil.
You are simply put a Democrat Water Boy! Doesn't matter what it is the Democrat is always right.
I am a Conservative and proud of it. I will support a true conservative candidate regardless of party affiliation, and I will vote against the liberal every time. So, I find your strictly Liberal party way as something I cannot support and unacceptable. Therefore, I disagree with most of your posting.

Leftau, perhaps you said it correctly the first time!
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Sep 27, 2022, at 12:16 PM
“…what I said and I stand by it.....”
In reality you “stand by” little. More often you dodge questions (as in “I wasn’t there) or fail to answer (it’s claims and counter claims) or simply ignore hard questions (if you truly believe it, it’s not a lie.)
Even a simple question of whether the election was fair and honest apparently can’t be answered.
“…views have been 100% anti Trump.”
That’s only your opinion. Almost every post I’ve made is to provide accurate information about Trump. Printing facts are neither “rants,” nor are they “anti-Trump. Facts aren’t anti-Trump or pro-Trump, they’re just the truth.
“Your whole being is Democrat good, all else evil.”
That’s a total falsehood. I have commended conservatives, complimented republicans and condemned democrats at various point in time
“I will support a true conservative candidate regardless of party affiliation…”
That’s also good to hear. Liz Cheney is a true conservative. Trumpists fit the definition of “non-conservatives.’
My opinion…
“You are simply put a [Trumpist] Water Boy! Doesn't matter what it is the [Trumpist] is always right.”
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Sep 27, 2022, at 12:47 PM
Here’s another example of the truth about Trump…
“Trump had been briefed early in his tenure about Article 5 and how mutual defense in NATO worked. ‘You mean, if Russia attacked Lithuania, we would go to war with Russia?’ He responded, ‘That’s crazy.’
After a few more statements like that, his foreign policy team concluded that Trump’s animus toward NATO was more than just Twitter bluster. It was so serious that Trump repeatedly threatened to pull out of the alliance altogether.”
Link:
P. Baker & S. Glasser, (2022), The Divider – Trump in the White House 2017-2021, New York, Doubleday, (Page 76).
It also points out the difference between Trump and Biden. Trump was planning to leave NATO (much to Putin’s delight.) Biden on the other hand, strengthened NATO and even expanded it to counter Putin’s aggression and permitted Ukraine to resist Russia.

Here's another reading assignment for you...
And a short version. 'In the real world, energy independence doesn't exist'
Rick Newman, ·Senior Columnist, March 7, 2022·7 min read
With gasoline prices now topping $4 per gallon on average, a lot of American drivers feel like the U.S. energy economy is going backwards. Didn’t we used to be energy independent? How can gas prices get so high if the United States is the world’s biggest oil producer? What happened to the fracking revolution? And why do U.S. gas prices depend on oil supply from Russia, on the other side of the world?
The short answer is that America benefits greatly from domestic oil and gas production—but the nation is also dependent on foreign energy in ways no president can undo. In terms of all energy, combined—fossil fuels, nuclear power, renewables and so on—the United States began producing more than it consumes in 2012, as the first chart below shows. If you consider “energy independence” to be a net surplus of primary energy, from all sources, then sure, the United States is energy independent.
But fuels are not typically interchangeable. You can't run a car on nuclear power or switch your home heating source if one type of fuel gets more expensive. So it doesn’t make much sense, from a consumer perspective, to talk about all energy in the aggregate. Yet some analysts and politicians, including Presidents Obama and Trump, have boasted about energy independence as if a surplus of one type of energy can offset a shortfall of another type. Usually, it can't.
The United States is not oil-independent
With regard to oil, the main component in gasoline, the U.S. consumes more than it produces, and has for decades. Flatly stated, the United States is not oil-independent, and hasn’t been since the early days of oil production. There has been a big increase in U.S. oil output since 2008, due largely to the advent of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Fracking has downsides, including possible environmental damage from toxic chemicals used in the process and intrusive drilling operations in areas where there had never been oil or gas operations before. Still, it has catapulted the United States into pole position as the world's top oil producer.
U.S. oil production in 2019, the most recent peak, was 140% more than in 2008. That surge in domestic output has narrowed the gap between the amount of oil we produce and consume—but the gap was huge to start with and Americans still burn 38% more oil than U.S. drillers produce. The second chart above shows the difference over time.
As with oil, natural gas production has soared during the last decade, since fracking helps tap natural gas deposits, too. U.S. production of natural gas first exceeded consumption in 2017, and the gap has widened since then. In mathematical terms, you could say we're natural-gas independent, because we produce more than we consume. The third chart above shows that.
Coal, not surprisingly, has declined as a U.S. energy source, because it's one of the dirtiest forms of energy. We do produce more coal than we consume, however, with the rest exported to other countries. So you could say the United States is coal-independent, too. That's in the fourth chart above.
Here’s another confusing claim: America is a net oil exporter. This is true, if you include oil and refined oil products such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. U.S. exports of oil and oil products exceeded imports in 2020 and 2021, again, largely because of the fracking surge. But in terms of raw crude, the U.S. has long been a net importer—importing than we export—and still is. Net imports are a lot smaller than they used to be, because of the surge in U.S. production. Yet we still rely on oil from Canada, Mexico, the Middle East and many other places to meet U.S. demand for gasoline and other finished products.
Energy markets are complex and, in the United States, at least, driven mostly by private-sector decisions rather than government diktat. The American president can’t control oil output the way Russian President Vladimir Putin or the Saudi ruling family can. Producers decide how much oil to drill, and whom to sell it to, based on the profit motive. Since 2015, when President Obama changed the rules to allow the export of U.S. crude, American drillers can sell oil wherever in the world they can legally get the best price.
'In the real world, energy independence doesn't exist'
It might seem logical to use all the oil produced in the United States to meet domestic needs, and only import what’s necessary after that. But open markets ungoverned by any national energy policy don’t work that way. It’s not as easy to transport oil as it is canned goods or airplane passengers, since there are many limitations on where pipelines and oil-laden railways can run. Most U.S. oil comes from five states—Texas, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Alaska—and producers want to sell it where costs are lowest. It can be cheaper to export Texas oil through ports such as Galveston or Corpus Christi, for instance, than to ship it to refiners on the East Coast.
“Sometimes it’s a lot cheaper to get cargo from Rotterdam to the East Coast than to push it from Texas,” oil analyst Dan Dicker of The Energy Word explained to Yahoo Finance in 2020. “It can be immensely cheaper to take oil from the Middle East than from our wells in West Texas. In the real world, energy independence doesn’t exist.”
Hardly any country can shut itself off from the global oil market and enjoy cheaper prices purely because of bounteous domestic supplies. Saudi Arabia may be one exception, but when a shock threatens supply anywhere it pretty much raises prices everywhere. That’s why the disruption of oil supplies from Russia, the world’s third-largest producer, has sent U.S. oil prices close to $120 per barrel and gas prices above $4 per gallon, even though the United States imports very little Russian oil. Virtually every oil producer is selling into the same market, at whatever price global supply and demand determines.
There have been some calls to prohibit U.S. producers from exporting oil, as was the case before 2015. But that wouldn’t necessarily lower U.S. gasoline prices. The key factor is how much oil U.S. firms produce, which the government doesn’t get to decide. If Washington limited U.S. producers’ ability to sell oil profitably to foreigners, drillers wouldn’t produce the same amount of oil and sell it for less profit, or no profit, to American refiners. If shut off from some profitable markets, they’d probably produce less and make sure they keep profit margins up. Some analysts think a ban on oil exports would be such a disincentive to drill that U.S. pump prices might even go up.
One thing that could genuinely make the United States energy independent is the robust development of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. That type of energy is harder to store, which makes it less suited to shipping and selling in distant markets. Solar energy can travel long distances across high-transmission power lines, but it can’t be stored in a barrel or canister, the way oil and natural gas can. Batteries are a form of storage, but they’re not fully developed, which makes wind and solar best as regional energy sources for the foreseeable future.
Renewables, however, aren’t coming fast enough to offset supply disruptions caused by Russia’s barbarous invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions on Russia, which don’t yet directly target Russia’s energy exports but could, soon. President Biden is scrambling to persuade OPEC nations such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to produce more, while here in America many U.S. producers are starting to crank up idle rigs, to capitalize on high prices. As long as global prices stay high, however, U.S. prices will, too, and Russia's aggression will cause pain for oil consumers virtually everywhere.

“…what I said and I stand by it.....”
1.) In reality you “stand by” little. More often you dodge questions (as in “I wasn’t there) or fail to answer (it’s claims and counter claims) or simply ignore hard questions (if you truly believe it, it’s not a lie.)
Response: Leftau, you lie! I stand by what I say and do. I don't have to buy into a bunch of BS to stand for what I believe in. Your problem is you haven't been smart enough to get away with putting words into my mouth and getting me to commit to things I do not know to be a fact or real.
2.) Even a simple question of whether the election was fair and honest apparently can’t be answered.
Response: Because I do not trust Democrats to not cheat and lie. Only time I was ever asked to vote illegally was by a Democrat I know running for office. He knew I had moved out of the county and when reminded of it, he said no one would know the difference. Well, I would have, and I did not do it. Long before you ever knew Bollinger County existed I was listening to my Dad talk about the free rides to the polls and a drink of whiskey for your vote.
3.) “…views have been 100% anti Trump.”
That’s only your opinion. Almost every post I’ve made is to provide accurate information about Trump. Printing facts are neither “rants,” nor are they “anti-Trump. Facts aren’t anti-Trump or pro-Trump, they’re just the truth.
Response: In your opinion only! You post a lot of supposing as if it was a fact. Go back and read your stuff.
4.) “Your whole being is Democrat good, all else evil.”
That’s a total falsehood. I have commended conservatives, complimented republicans and condemned democrats at various point in time
Response: That is a laugh. The only Republican I ever saw you compliment was someone who had a beef with Trump
5.) “I will support a true conservative candidate regardless of party affiliation…”
That’s also good to hear. Liz Cheney is a true conservative. Trumpists fit the definition of “non-conservatives.’
Response: Leftau your support of Cheney has nothing to do with her being a Conservative or not a Conservative. Your support of her is because she opposed Trump and that was all you needed to hear from her, for her to become your favorite Republican.
On the other hand, I have supported Democratic Candidates with my money, yard signs and vote if I considered them to be worthy of support. And I supported a Missouri Democratic Lieutenant Gvoernor by Co-Sponsering a fund raiser and my vote when he ran for Governor.
6.) My opinion…
“You are simply put a [Trumpist] Water Boy! Doesn't matter what it is the [Trumpist] is always right.”
Responce: A Trumist you say.... hardly! Leftau you work well as a copycat at about the third grade level but your statement is far from the truth, I never favored Trump to be the Republican Candidate for President in 2016, but I picked the best of the worst and voted for him as I could never in good conscience support or vote for Hillary Clinton, then the Democrats doubled down in 2020 by picking a man who is obviously brain dead for the Presidency and once again I made my choice. And given the same set of circumstances would repeat the process. You're going back to Obama later and trying to say he left Trump with a thriving Presidency is a laugh. Obama presided over the slowest recovery from a recession since the great depression. Nothing great was accomplished during his Presidency other than to stir up racial division.
Somewhere in the mess this evening you threw in something that I said that is noted to be true, but as usual you left out the most important part of what I said.
What I originally said and what you twisted is this.....
It is not a lie to state something to be the truth if you truly believe it. The part you left out was what else I said. That does not mean that you are correct, and may be totally wrong. Maybe not my exact words but they were to that effect...
Try this on for size Leftau maybe you will improve your education. It seems you are lacking.
It is not a lie if your truly believe what you are saying, however it does not mean that you are totally correct. You may be 100% wrong.
Further Leftau, only the man/woman making a statement they believe to be factual and true really knows if they are telling the truth as they know it or a bald faced lie.
And once more.... they may be dead wrong, but if they honestly believed it at the time, they made the statement they are not lying. Only they can truly know if they were lying or just wrong.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it Water Boy!
One more thing Leftau, you may call me Water Boy or whatever you like but the fact is as I said once earlier. He was not
my choice in 2016, nor will he necessarily be in 2024. I am tired of the division and the BS going on in this county.
But rest assured, I am not going to ever vote for someone as morally bankrupt as Hillary Clinton is, or as out of it mentally as Joe Biden is. We need a capable leader and we have had none since Jan 20, 2021
And it is fact, for all of his faults, which we all have to one degree or another, Trump did leave this county in much better shape than it is today less than 2 years later with Biden at the helm.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Sep 27, 2022, at 12:47 PM
One more thing. If I left something out please tell me what I missed. I have had a busy day and I am whipped. But thought I had best correct your misconceptions before I turned in for the night.
I will say one more thing, if you want to further discuss the concept of, it is not a lie if you truly believe it, then rail on, there is plenty more out there to support what I said, so you don't have to take my word for it. It is a well-established fact that I am correct on that. Just keep in mind the 2nd part regarding it, the part about you may be incorrect, just not lying.

3.) “…views have been 100% anti Trump.”
That’s only your opinion. Almost every post I’ve made is to provide accurate information about Trump. Printing facts are neither “rants,” nor are they “anti-Trump. Facts aren’t anti-Trump or pro-Trump, they’re just the truth.
Response: In your opinion only! You post a lot of supposing as if it was a fact. Go back and read your stuff.
4.) “Your whole being is Democrat good, all else evil.”
That’s a total falsehood. I have commended conservatives, complimented republicans and condemned democrats at various point in time
Response: That is a laugh. The only Republican I ever saw you compliment was someone who had a beef with Trump
5.) “I will support a true conservative candidate regardless of party affiliation…”
That’s also good to hear. Liz Cheney is a true conservative. Trumpists fit the definition of “non-conservatives.’
Response: Leftau your support of Cheney has nothing to do with her being a Conservative or not a Conservative. Your support of her is because she opposed Trump and that was all you needed to hear from her, for her to become your favorite Republican.
On the other hand, I have supported Democratic Candidates with my money, yard signs and vote if I considered them to be worthy of support. And I supported a Missouri Democratic Lieutenant Gvoernor by Co-Sponsering a fund raiser and my vote when he ran for Governor.
6.) My opinion…
“You are simply put a [Trumpist] Water Boy! Doesn't matter what it is the [Trumpist] is always right.”
Responce: A Trumist you say.... hardly! Leftau you work well as a copycat at about the third grade level but your statement is far from the truth, I never favored Trump to be the Republican Candidate for President in 2016, but I picked the best of the worst and voted for him as I could never in good conscience support or vote for Hillary Clinton, then the Democrats doubled down in 2020 by picking a man who is obviously brain dead for the Presidency and once again I made my choice. And given the same set of circumstances would repeat the process. You're going back to Obama later and trying to say he left Trump with a thriving Presidency is a laugh. Obama presided over the slowest recovery from a recession since the great depression. Nothing great was accomplished during his Presidency other than to stir up racial division.
Somewhere in the mess this evening you threw in something that I said that is noted to be true, but as usual you left out the most important part of what I said.
What I originally said and what you twisted is this.....
It is not a lie to state something to be the truth if you truly believe it. The part you left out was what else I said. That does not mean that you are correct, and may be totally wrong. Maybe not my exact words but they were to that effect...
Try this on for size Leftau maybe you will improve your education. It seems you are lacking.
It is not a lie if your truly believe what you are saying, however it does not mean that you are totally correct. You may be 100% wrong.
Further Leftau, only the man/woman making a statement they believe to be factual and true really knows if they are telling the truth as they know it or a bald faced lie.
And once more.... they may be dead wrong, but if they honestly believed it at the time, they made the statement they are not lying. Only they can truly know if they were lying or just wrong.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it Water Boy!
One more thing Leftau, you may call me Water Boy or whatever you like but the fact is as I said once earlier. He was not
my choice in 2016, nor will he necessarily be in 2024. I am tired of the division and the BS going on in this county.
But rest assured, I am not going to ever vote for someone as morally bankrupt as Hillary Clinton is, or as out of it mentally as Joe Biden is. We need a capable leader and we have had none since Jan 20, 2021
And it is fact, for all of his faults, which we all have to one degree or another, Trump did leave this county in much better shape than it is today less than 2 years later with Biden at the helm.

One more thing. If I left something out please tell me what I missed. I have had a busy day and I am whipped. But thought I had best correct your misconceptions before I turned in for the night.
I will say one more thing, if you want to further discuss the concept of, it is not a lie if you truly believe it, then rail on, there is plenty more out there to support what I said, so you don't have to take my word for it. It is a well-established fact that I am correct on that. Just keep in mind the 2nd part regarding it, the part about you may be incorrect, just not lying.

Lot of denials, deferrals, doubting and duplications. But again and as always, right or wrong, you're welcome to your opinions and your own misconceptions.
Apparently, truly believing your claims and assertions makes a difference to you.
Among things you missed is divulging where the "division" in our country came from. Could be it's been the big lie all along.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 12:04 AM
Leftau, if you would look at things honestly, you would recognize the fact that Obama started the division, Trump just widened the gap. And the current brain dead President has done othing to close it with his gibberish.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 7:25 AM
Then please explain how Obama did that. What did he actually do that caused division?
Did he try to convince followers that either we win or the other side cheated? No.
Obviously he was black, but that should not have caused division, and his being elected for a second term actually refutes a "division" accusation.
That's looking at things honestly.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 7:40 AM
Here's an interesting quote from your link...
"We also find compelling evidence that individuals engage in self-serving belief distortion to increase lying overall."
Sounds just like Trump to me.

Pick and choose to suit your agenda.
But maybe you are now convinced and educated to the fact that what I stated has credibility and was not just something I dreamed up.
I thought you claimed to be well educated and could tell nouns from verbs and all the finer points of the English language. Why I bet they even had you diagramming sentences like they did us in about the 3rd and 4th grade down there in the woods in that little country school.
You're welcome for the lesson Water Boy.
Bring it up again and I will be happy to be available to do the re-education!

If you want to assert that the "true believers" are not lying, that's your privilege.
If you want claim the Trump "truly believes" that he "won in a landslide," that's pure bs.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 8:22 AM
Just a bit more, I forgot something.
I always try to learn something new every day.
The other day I finally stumbled on to something that has been bothering me for a long time.
I have always wondered what the difference was between a Violin and a Fiddle. I finally found out. A Violin has strings on it and a Fiddle has Strangs on it.
See what you can learn when you apply yourself Leftau. Only thing, that information was given to me by word of mouth so I have to post it without a link. You know Leftau, like you usually do your questionable postings.

There you go again Leftau, I never stated either of those two items.
You truly are a slow learner Leftau. Still think you can put words in my mouth I never said, don't you Water Boy?
🤔🤭🤭

Those are simply two statements. You can take them or leave them, your choice.
What you care to believe makes little difference to me.

Leftau if truth or factual information was upsetting to me, I would have very little to upset me by reading your posts.
Mostly I find your posts to be amusing.
Never knew of anyone before that could let someone get under their skin and crawl around as you have left Trump do to you.
Keep on spoutng the BS, I will check in from time to time to have a laugh.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 12:53 PM
"...as you have left Trump do to you."
That's your opinion, that's all. Has nothing whatsoever to do with the truth.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 1:19 PM
Leftau, just look at your histor od posts, It's Trump, Trump, Trump and more Trump.
you must have had a real crush on ole Hillary to let anyone disturb you so badly by defeating her for President that you cannot get him off your mind. Going on 6 years now since that took place.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 2:08 PM
Lettau, like Wheels has said you are a good laugh and that's the only reason that I waste any time correcting your many many errors. Now I'll let you watch reruns of Biden's speeches that are no more than gibberish rantings of a Senile Demented Resident of the White House Nursing Home!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 2:12 PM
More imaginary foolishness.
Do you ever use common sense? The purpose of this thread is to post the truth about Trump. If that bothers you, don't tune in.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 2:29 PM
Lettau, I'm posting the truth about Trump....sorry that you can't handle the truth! Now I'll leave you and your fictional thread along! LOL at you as always!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 4:17 PM
Sorry Mr. Schaefer, posting economic conditions at the end of 2020 and trying to give credit to our former one-term, twice impeached, disgraced president is not telling the truth.
What goes on in Schaefer's fantasy world should just stay there.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 4:27 PM
I concur somewhat on that 2:29 post.
But it’s time this forum died as the original heading.
Once informative at times,moved to repetitive boredom,occasionally amusing but has just evolved into sad.
Sooo,it’s time for another topic and if you,Mr Lettau don’t like it I’d say don’t tune in.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 5:04 PM
"...moved to repetitive boredom..."
Actually no. Unfortunately Trump continues to make new, strange and often illegal moves.
The latest is him declaring to Hannity that he's able to declassify documents "with his mind."
That even left Hannity totally confused.
As I said before, if the truth about Trump bothers you, don't tune in.
The thread will be over when the republicans recover their sanity and dump Trump.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Sep 28, 2022, at 5:41 PM
Lettau: The comparison of Trump's term ending results to those of Biden's current nonresults just points out Biden's failures - time for you Lettau to accept the facts! I'll leave this pitiful thread for you to rant and rave on! LOL at you as always!

Biden approval rating dips 5 points in past week: poll

President Biden’s approval rating dropped 5 points in the past week, according to a new Politico-Morning Consult poll.

Biden approval rating dips 5 points in past week: poll
The poll found that 41 percent of respondents approved of Biden’s job performance, down from 46 percent last week. The results are a reversal of recent weeks, during which Biden’s approval rating has risen significantly following a series of legislative successes.

Biden last month signed bipartisan legislation to increase investment in semiconductor manufacturing and to expand health care for veterans who have been exposed to burn pits while serving. He also signed a major climate, tax and health care package into law.
The Politico-Morning Consult poll found the lower approval rating comes largely from a decline in Biden’s approval among Democrats. Approval from members of the president’s party dropped from 85 percent in last week’s poll to 80 percent this week.
Biden’s approval among independents stayed roughly the same, while approval among Republicans also dropped slightly.
The margin of error for overall approval level was 2 points, and the margin for the party breakdowns was 4 points.
A Reuters-Ipsos poll released Wednesday showed Biden’s approval rating increased by 2 points, from 39 percent to 41 percent.

On Day Before She Was Found Burned, Debbie Collier Bought Items That Were Found Next to Her Body
Chris Harris - 10h ago
|
396
On the day before her partially-burned body was found at the bottom of an embankment, Georgia mom Debbie Collier visited a dollar store and left with a number of items, two of which — a tarp and tote bag — were found next to her body.
The Habersham County Sheriff's Office has released surveillance footage from the Family Dollar in Clayton, which shows Collier, 59, entering the store at 2:55 p.m. on Sept. 10 and leaving 14 minutes later.
In the footage, Collier can be seen in a maroon shirt with the number 34 on it. She's also wearing an orange visor, black sneakers and is seen carrying a blue handbag.
When Collier's husband and daughter filed a missing person report for the Athens woman on Sept. 10, they said she had left her house on Sept. 9 with only her driver's license and debit card.
They both said they were concerned about Collier after the daughter received a disturbing message from her mother's Venmo account as part of a nearly $2,400 Venmo transfer.
RELATED: 'They Are Not Going to Let Me Go': Ga. Mom Sent Disturbing Message to Daughter. Then She Was Found Dead
The message sent via Venmo read: "They are not going to let me go, love you."
Police have since noted they've found no evidence to suggest Collier was abducted, or that her death was a suicide.
The footage from the store also shows Collier at the register, buying a refillable torch lighter, a rain poncho, papers towels, a blue 7.5 x 9.5 tarp and an orange reusable tote bag. When her body was found, she was found next to a tarp and tote bag, according to an incident report obtained by PEOPLE.

"In the video, the victim appears to be calm and not in fear of anything," a press release states. "All video footage obtained from the store and surrounding businesses reflect that the victim was alone in the van at the time she visited the store."
RELATED: Body of Mom Who Messaged Daughter 'They're Not Going to Let Me Go' Before Vanishing Was Found Naked and Burned
When she was found, Collier was nude, on her back. It appeared she had been burned about the abdomen and there was a blue tarp nearby. Her right hand was still gripping the base of a small tree.
A cause of death is still pending, but police have classified it as a homicide.

Authorities have revealed several search warrants have already been executed "at locations tied to the victim" and that interviews have already been conducted with "those closest to the victim."
Collier had worked for years at Carriage House Realty in Athens as the front office manager.
Officials have not yet commented on any possible persons of interest or potential suspects, and no arrests have been made.

An Australian model was left terrified after she spotted a ‘huge’ huntsman spider sitting under her toilet seat.
Gabriella Pizzato, who lives on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Was mortified when she caught the spider crawling up from under its hiding place as she stood up.
She said on TikTok: ‘I just went to the toilet, and I got up and flushed the toilet and there is a big f*****g spider under the seat.
‘I was sitting there for about 20 minutes! Oh my god, I want to show you, it’s actually huge. I want to cry. It is huge,’
She was left speechless as the spiders legs appeared from under the rim of the toilet.
‘Oh my god I just saw his legs. It’s like under the rim,’ she whispered.
She captioned the video ‘welcome to Australia’ and said ‘I have no idea how I’m ever gonna go to the toilet again’.
The Huntsman spider is native to Australia and is the world’s largest venomous spider.

The furry beast boasts 12-inch-long legs and is not deadly to humans, but they can cause headaches, vomiting and heart palpitations.
In February a huntsman was spotted in Hull, after it was brought to the UK when it sneaked into a shipping container.
When staff unpacked the container they promptly legged it.
It wasn’t the first time the UK has encountered some fearsome spiders. Last year saw a surge in the number of false widow spiders both here and in Ireland.
False widows are unlikely to bite humans unless provoked or agitated, but they can trigger serious symptoms, ranging from numbness, severe swelling and discomfort, to burning sensations and chest pains.

Can your bra cause breast cancer?
Here’s What You Need To Know
Nicholas Fandos and Catie Edmondson | 5 days ago
There are a whole host of myths when talking about breast health. One of the most common myths is that wearing bras causes breast cancer.
"Wearing a well-fitting bra has no known negative consequences," says Amy Sanchez, Senior Research Associate in Biomechanics with the Research Group in Breast Health at the University of Portsmouth. "We often get asked about cancer and bras, and existing research shows no link between bra use and breast cancer."
While bras don't cause breast cancer, it doesn't mean that bras can't impact your health, she continues.
Why Might Your Bra Be Causing Your Body Pains?
Did you know that bra pain has a medical term? It's known as costoclavicular syndrome, or more simply put — bra strap syndrome. This syndrome is associated with chronic pain in the neck and shoulders. Symptoms also include:
Tingling in your hands/fingers
Back pain
Headaches stemming from neck pain
Skin Abrasions and Chafing
Premature Sagging
These symptoms could result from several issues, including wearing tight bras with thin straps, over-tightening the chest band, wearing the wrong cup size, or having large, heavy breasts.
Best Ways to Eliminate Body Pains
Understanding the cause of pain is essential for treating it. However, if you're one of the millions of women whose pain is due to your bra straps digging into your shoulders, then this is a remedy you may want to try!

Ashley Weatherford's Story-Bras That Bruise
I have never been a fan of bras that are too tight for me. I won’t wear it not until I need a certain color bra to match my clothing in a pinch. For context, I am also on blood thinners for my chronic illness. One day, I get my work outfit on with my bra which is definitely too tight and not at all comfortable for me. That day was such a busy day that I didn't even notice the pain in my back is due to my overtighten bra.

Overnight barn fire in northeast Missouri destroys farm equipment, 250 hay bales

Overnight barn fire in northeast Missouri destroys farm equipment, 250 hay bales
Overnight barn fire in northeast Missouri destroys farm equipment, 250 hay bales
An overnight barn fire destroyed thousands of dollars in farm equipment and hay bales.
Firefighters with the Shelbina Fire Protection District were called out just after 3:30 a.m. Tuesday to a blaze six miles southeast of Shelbina.
When crews arrived at the scene on Monroe Road 311, firefighters found a 54' x 108' pole barn fully engulfed in flames.
The barn contained a hay baler and a farm disc, plus 250 large bales of hay.
The building and all its contents are a total loss. The property was owned by Larry Utterback.
Assistant Fire Chief Allan Wilt told KTVO the cause is undetermined.
They aren't sure what started it, but the barn had no electricity.
Wilt said they are perplexed about what sparked it, but they don't consider it suspicious because the building was in a secluded location down a long lane.
Shelbina firefighters were assisted by the Paris Rural Fire Protection District and the Shelby Community Fire Department.
Crews were on the scene for about two hours.
Wilt said the hay bales were still burning themselves out as of Tuesday afternoon.
No firefighters were injured while battling the blaze.

She Was Found in a Trunk in 1980, Missing Her Head and Hands. Thanks to DNA Advances, She Has Been ID'd

87
Anna L. Papalardo-Blake was 44 years old when she was reported missing.
The Vidal Sassoon receptionist was last seen leaving work in New York City around 6 p.m. on March 18, 1980.
What happened to Papalardo-Blake remained a mystery for 42 years until recently thanks to the help of genetic genealogy.
Earlier this week, New York State Troopers announced that a decapitated, handless body found in a travel trunk near a dumpster on the grounds of the Hudson View Apartment Complex in Fishkill, NY in 1980 are the remains of Papalardo-Blake.

25 Creepy Photos Accidentally Captured By Drones
Police said the woman who became known as Dutchess County Jane Doe was found on March 20 – two days after Papalardo-Blake disappeared.
Police have not named a suspect in her slaying.
According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System [NamUs], Papalardo-Blake's body was discovered in a green travel trunk with black trim, blue lining and brass fittings.
"Various stickers on the outside indicate the trunk travelled from NYC to France in 1958 and returned to NYC in 1960," the website states.
The website states the travel trunk was dumped by the apartment complex between noon and 10 p.m. on March 18.
The victim at the time was described as in her mid-20s, around 5'6", and weighing around 135 pounds.
Lack of DNA made it difficult to identify the victim, police said.

Savant,
I'll go out on a limb here and conclude you were poking fun a Trump's inability to understand the classification process.
He has the authority to declassify a document, but that is contingent on following accepted procedures.
The original classifying authority must be contacted to protect sources and methods. All copies of the document must be retrieved, the classification makings deleted, and it be marked unclassified.
Based on what the FBI found at Mar-a-Lago, those procedures were not followed, so those same stolen documents are still classified.

Leftau, this has nothing to do with me. It is you the parrot we were speaking of
You saw something you parroted it.
Ďon't try to sell that BS that you just dreamed about it and so you.looked it up.
You didn't dream sophisticated parrot and go research it. You read it and then you parroted it, didn't you Little Man?
You read it, you post it. That is parroting in a nutshell
I think most people parrot what they read by posting and voicing their opinions. I seriously doubt on here that most have first hand knowledge of what they post.
The following statement is a junior achievement effort to try ro hide the fact that you do exactly what you accuse Trump of. Nothing we haven't known all along. I have accused you of parroting before. I bet you are going to try to convince us you wanted to be just like Trump!

Trump’s legal team divided over how to handle Mar-a-Lago case (msn.com)
Rosalind Helderman, Josh Dawsey, Carol D. Leonnig, Perry Stein - 1h ago
After attorney Christopher Kise accepted $3 million to represent Donald Trump in the FBI’s investigation of government documents stored at Mar-a-Lago, the veteran litigator argued that Trump should adopt a new strategy.
Turn down the temperature with the Department of Justice, Kise — a former Florida solicitor general — counseled his famously combative client, people familiar with the deliberations said.
Federal authorities had searched Trump’s Florida residence and club because they badly wanted to retrieve the classified documents that remained there even after a federal subpoena, Kise argued, according to these people. With that material back in government hands, maybe prosecutors could be persuaded to resolve the whole issue quietly.
But quiet has never been Trump’s style — nor has harmony within his orbit.

More nails for both Trump and the real republican party...
Trump escalates attacks on McConnell with ‘DEATH WISH’ post
Isaac Arnsdorf - Yesterday 12:27 PM
Former president Donald Trump is facing blowback for an inflammatory online message attacking Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that many viewed as a threat.
“He has a DEATH WISH,” Trump posted late Friday on his Truth Social platform, criticizing McConnell for agreeing to a deal to fund the government through December. He also disparaged McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, who served as Trump’s transportation secretary and was born in Taiwan, in racist terms, calling her “his China loving wife, Coco Chow!”
The post marked a further escalation in an increasingly strained relationship between the two Republican leaders. Trump has repeatedly impugned McConnell’s negotiating positions and called on GOP senators to replace him as their leader. They often had a tense working relationship during Trump’s presidency and fell out in the aftermath of the 2020 election, when Trump refused to concede and tried to overturn the results, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
McConnell’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.
A Trump spokesman said it was “absurd” to interpret the post as a threat or call for violence, suggesting the reference to a death wish was “political” rather than literal.
“Mitch McConnell is killing the Republican Party through weakness and cowardice,” spokesman Taylor Budowich wrote in a statement. “He obviously has a political death wish for himself and Republican Party, but President Trump and the America First champions in Congress will save the Republican Party and our nation.”

Biden tells the Service Station Owners to cut gas prices, NOW!
More of his dictatorial BS. What the service stations should do is lock the doors for 24 hours, country wide. Then he might have an appreciation for them. He is the SOB who woke up one morning and decided to mess with the supply chain.
There are many small operators out there who cannot afford to turn the prices back. If Biden had a brain left, and if he ever had a real job, he might understand how things work He is the party who owns the mess at the pumps. Oh, those like Leftau will come on here and blame the small business man or the oil companies, anybody but the braindead President who decided to mess with the supply chain with his Executive Orders. A man that has never had a real job, a lifetime piece of political excrement and they nominate and make him President. Good going Democrats, you have really done it this time.

Former Trump employee tells FBI Trump ordered Mar-a-Lago boxes to be moved -report
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A former employee of Donald Trump has told federal agents the former president asked for boxes of records to be moved within his Florida residence after receiving a government subpoena demanding their return, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
The testimony of the key witness, coupled with surveillance footage the Justice Department also obtained, represent some of the strongest known evidence to date of possible obstruction of justice by the former Republican president.
The FBI conducted a court-approved search on Aug. 8 at Trump's home at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, seizing more than 11,000 documents including about 100 marked as classified.

You talk about this being the end of him. What do you think they will do. Hang him on the White House Lawn? Hope they don't leave him hang too long.

Jan. 6 panel presents proof: Despite the lies, Trump knew he lost
In public, Donald Trump spent the post-election period telling anyone who'd listen that he'd won. In private, he quietly conceded that he'd lost.
Oct. 14, 2022, 7:43 AM CDT
By Steve Benen
"After Donald Trump’s 2020 defeat, he perpetrated a dramatic and unprecedented fraud: The outgoing Republican president peddled a ridiculous lie, told the world he’d secretly won, and set out to execute a plot to claim illegitimate power. To this day, too much of the GOP — from officeholders to candidates to rank-and-file voters — continues to embrace Trump’s “Big Lie” as if it were true."
"But as the Jan. 6 committee helped prove in its latest hearing, in private, the Republican quietly conceded he knew the truth..."

I believe you may be trying to put words in my mouth again Leftau. When are you going to learn that you aren't smart enough to get the job done.
I am not excusing law breaking by anyone. I believe if there is law breaking being done it is up to our courts to do the indictments, not you, not me. And even when indicted they have their day in court and the indictment maybe thrown out because it doesn/t meet the test required.
If you need an example, we can use the two Impeachments where the Democrats failed to meet the test on their Vendetta's to get Trump. I think I have had to explain this to you a couple of times earlier Leftau. You are a slow learner!!!

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Fri, Oct 14, 2022, at 3:59 PM
The only reason you brought it up to excuse Trump.
He has broken laws (stolen classified and unclassified government documents) which makes him a law-breaker. That he's not yet convicted does no change that.
You also keep forgetting that bipartisan majorities of the Senate found him guilty. That the number required to remove him from office was not reached, does not make him innocent, just not "convicted."
His criminal intent in his insurrection has been established, even though his conviction is still pending.
There's never been a need nor an intent to "put words in your mouth." You do that well enough on your own.

Well, the Democrats have been trying to get rid of Trump for a few weeks short of 6 years now and failed at every turn. He kicked Hillary's behind in 2016 and that infuriated them. Then they spent 4 years starting with Hillary's Lie of a report showing Trump with Russian influence which proved futile. They spent 4 long years of harrasment, bucking him at evrey turn. The finally tried removing him with impeachment and failed, not once but twice. Bow that he is no longer President, forget did he lose, did he win, did the Democrats cheat. He is gone from the scene.
But there is the fear that he will make a comeback and the Democrats are scared ********.
So, prosecute, persecute, what the hell ever, if they can just get him locked up, they think they are safely elected forever. No matter how they destroy the country.

RicK, Trump was far from a perfect man. My thoughts and support go to the best of the worst in way too many cases, and in the last two Presidential Elections, that is exactly what we have had to deal with. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden fit the picture of the worst to vote against in those two elections. For whatever we got in Trump we would have been worse off with Crooked Hillary Clinton. And the Country was definitely better off security and financially wise with Trump than they have with this brain dead speciman. With the entire Democratic Party fighting Trump non-stop for the 4 years of his Presidency, how much better off could we have been with the Democrats working for the people rather than trying to unseat Trump. They failed for four long years and America was still better off in January 20, 2021 than they are today.
I certainly do not approve of everything Trump but do recognize which side my bread is buttered on.

What you still haven't figured out is that for his term Trump was working for Trump only.
He was unable to produce for the average American.
The vast majority of Americans wanted an effective infrastructure program. Biden delivered, Trump didn't.
The covid-19 vaccine distribution program needed leadership. Biden provided it, Trump didn't.
Defending Ukraine required NATO coordination and expansion. Biden got it done, Trump wanted the US out of NATO.
These are just a few examples of their differences.
As for gas prices and inflation, Biden takes the blame because he's president. His actions were not the cause of those increases.

And this little bit of BS is more political "git em... sic em Rover" than anything else. What exactly did you find so wrong with his criticism? Jewish people do have a tendency to be Democrats you know.
I have a good Jewish friend, a retired Druggist from Carmel New York who was a Motor Homer. He and I used to get together and chat long into the night. He is very Conservative individual. I asked him in one of those conversations why Jewish People tend to vote Democrat. His reply, they're effing stupid, that's why.
So that might be a reason for Trump's criticism of them, which I do not see as earth shaking. Just exactly what is your problem with the statement? Or is the situation as such that only opinions approved by one of your Leftist sources are allowed?

Trump lashes out at judge who said former president knowingly pushed false voter fraud case
Kevin Breuninger - 1h ago
“Former President Donald Trump lashed out at a judge who found that Trump knowingly pushed false claims of voter fraud while fighting his loss to President Joe Biden.
"U.S. District Judge David Carter ordered pro-Trump attorney John Eastman to turn over dozens of documents to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
They include emails that "demonstrate an effort by President Trump and his attorneys to press false claims in federal court for the purpose of delaying the January 6 vote," Carter wrote.
“Former President Donald Trump lashed out Thursday after a federal judge wrote that Trump knowingly pushed false claims of voter fraud while he was fighting his 2020 election loss.
“Trump, in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, lambasted U.S. District Judge David Carter as a "partisan hack" and repeated his false claim that his loss to President Joe Biden was the result of a "rigged and stolen" election.
“The ex-president's outburst came one day after Carter ordered John Eastman, a pro-Trump attorney who tried to challenge Biden's win, to turn over dozens of documents to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“Among those 33 documents were emails that "demonstrate an effort by President Trump and his attorneys to press false claims in federal court for the purpose of delaying the January 6 vote," Carter wrote.”

“DOJ heading toward indictment”: Legal experts say adviser’s testimony shows “Trump is the target”
Igor Derysh - 2h ago
"A top adviser to former President Donald Trump testified before a federal grand jury looking into the government documents seized from Mar-a-Lago, according to CNN.
Kash Patel, who served as a top aide to former Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., during his effort to undermine the Russia probe before joining the Trump administration, has been deeply involved in the Mar-a-Lago scandal. Patel, who remains close to Trump and was named by the former president as a "representative for access to Presidential records of my administration," has claimed that he witnessed Trump declassifying records before leaving office. Weeks before the Mar-a-Lago search, Patel "vowed to retrieve classified documents from the National Archives" about the "Russiagate" probe and "publish them on his website," ABC News reported earlier this year.
Patel spent "several hours" before the D.C. grand jury investigating the handling of documents at Mar-a-Lago on October 13, sources told CNN, though it's unclear whether he answered questions or invoked his Fifth Amendment rights.
Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti warned that Patel's evidence-free claim that Trump declassified the documents is a "very difficult story to believe."
"If Patel had any sense, he wouldn't repeat it under oath to the grand jury," he tweeted.
"Patel is one of a handful of post-presidential Trump advisers who could face "legal risk" in the probe, sources told CNN, though it is not clear whether he is a target of the probe.

Rick, many folks who voted for Trump have no worry about turning back from Trumpism, if there is such a thing out side of the minds of the Democrats. And the reason is they voted for Trump for one reason and one reason only. They could not with a clear conscience vote for Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton would have been a disaster, Trump saved us from that and Joe Biden is a disaster, Trumo failed at that.
It was a situation where you vote for the best of the worst. Given the same circumstances I would change nothing. Hopefully in two years we can right the wrong placed upon us by the Democrats in 2020. Biden should never have been put on the ticket to begin with. He is Dead Man Walking!

The almost humorous thing to watch is the red hot hatred the Democrats have for Trump because he kept them from coronating Hillary, and it was her turn too.
I don't believe in one man rule, Biden is trying it as well.
I think the rule on EO's should be tightened down to only the most urgent of conditions. They create one man rule. And yeah they all use them. No excuse!

Cost is not even the biggest factor, if we purchase, it is 50 weeks lead time before delivery. So the contract found a used one with only 300 hours on it in Idaho.

Some answers to numerous contributions by Mr. Schaefer that he neglected to contribute…
Straight from the internet so it has to be true.
“Here’s a few reasons people might think Trump was a great President:
1. They’re brainwashed
2. They’re mentally ill
3. They’re completely ignorant of how disastrous his presidency was
4. They are actually enemies of America and wanted the county to fail.
Here are a few things that made Trump unique:
1. He is the most unqualified person ever to even win a major party nomination
2. He literally had no idea what the job entailed
3. He was wholly incapable of doing the job
4. He wasn’t interested in doing the job or even learning to do the job
5. His entire term was spent abusing his office for his own personal benefit
6. His presidency was disastrous by any reasonable standard, as he set records for corruption and economic failures that are likely to last a century or more

Of course, but the pretty young girl reading the conservative script has it backwards.
Good example would be inflation...
Democrats recognize it as a world wide problem and are working on solutions through Medicare cost reductions, supply chain improvements, oil supply increase, cost of living increases, etc.
Republicans have no clue about solutions, and do nothing except blame Biden, blame democrats, blame anyone else, and not take responsibility for anything.
It's a problem for all Americans, even conservatives, yet they don't want solutions, they'd rather have the inflation as a campaign issue.

Lefty, Water Boy, you have it all mixed up as is normal for you. The Republicans have experience at taking care of problems left by the Democrats. Take the Jimmy Carter days and the inflation mess he made for us and the Republicans came along and fixed it for us. I remember those days well. A business opportunity was very hard to take advantage of. If it required more money than you had on hand it really had to be a peach of an opportunity, because it was hard to make it pay off with paying 20% interest on borrowed money. My daughter was getting married and wanted to buy a house and a take over payments at 10% interest was considered a good deal.
So don't give us that line that Republicans have no idea of how to fix a badly damaged economy due to Democrat caused Stagflation!

For starters Water Boy, the Republicsns can do little. In case you are not aware of it we have a Democratic Puppet in offfice, Mr OBiden. To top that the Democrats still control the House and the Senate until January.
So look for very little to be done until then. The first thing they are going to have to do is cut off OBiden's inflationary spending spree. Spending money we do not have. Then we are going to have to get people off their *** and back to work. And lest you give me phony unemployment numbers those able bodied welfare recipients not looking for a job are truly unemployed.

If the republicans are able to win the House, they claim that they will start impeaching everyone or anyone in the Biden Administration.

That wass one of Biden's first EO's to screw up anything Trump had done. And the inflow of illegals was the next one. Both are current problems and all we hear is Trump, Trump and more Trump. I spent in excess of $180 at the grocery story this afternoon and that is for two people, and it will not carry us for a week. I spent roughly $100 or less for roughly the same items a couple of years ago. Yeah Biden, bring it on Big Boy.
All my life I have heard what wonders the Democrats performed for me. Social Security, it will take care of us in our retirement years. I have been paying in on that program since I was roughly 15 years old and it doesn't even come close to meeting our needs. Thank the Maker that I listened to an older accountant when I was younger and took care of providing for a supplementary income to cover for our needs when that failed government program will not.

Leftau what is even funnier is how you have obsessed over trump for 6 years now and he has been out of office for nearly two of the six years.
Trump has been convicted of nothing, only in your imagination and lying are they crimes at this point. When he is convicted then you can speak intelligently, up until then you are only blowing hot air. And what if he is convicted of nothing, will you retract your lies?
Further Leftau, at this point, Trump cannot do me harm.... Obiden damned well can and has.
Obama has cost me at the pump, the grocery store and nearly every other expense I have. While I did or do not believe everything Trump, I was financially better off under Trump than I am under Biden as was most anyone I can think of.
Your biggest problem with Trump is he wil successfully come back and show Biden and the Democrats for what they are, poor managers of our economy and our country in general.
You will not change the fact that what I was spending roughly a hundred dollars for at the grocery store is now costing me in the $180 to $200 range. Tell me I am better off with that.

In my opinion the "...biggest problem with Trump..." is his incompetence and criminality.
He did not create the "best economy in US history." His economy averaged about 2.4% annually until the bottom fell out due to his mismanagement of the pandemic. That's only 0.2% above Obama's, and Trump benefitted greatly from the growing (16%) economy he inherited
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Nov 7, 2022, at 4:05 PM
For you, Mr. Schaefer...
Initial inflation was 1.5% when Trump left office. Can Democrats share what happened?
Not a Democrat. Actually a conservative and former Republican, but I can chime in.
"When Trump left office 75% of schools were closed because of the pandemic. Countless businesses as well. A lack of need for goods caused consumer spending to plummet. Not even Trump’s handouts sparked consumer spending like he hoped, because people were pessimistic about how long it would be before they could go back to work. So they put that money in savings or used it to pay down debt. Low demand leads to lower prices. That’s economics 101.
"Then Biden passed his American Rescue Plan. Rather than paying people to stay home and not work like Trump, Biden invested in helping schools and businesses to safely reopen. By the end of 2021, 85% of businesses and 95% of schools that had closed because of the pandemic reopened despite the pandemic actually worsening (we had more Covid deaths in 2021 than 2020, and we closed out 2021 with the highest daily new covid cases since the pandemic began [the pandemic of the unvaccinated]). We also saw a record number of new businesses launch in 2021.
"As people went back to work, they started needing goods again. And thanks to the Trump stimulus, extended unemployment benefits, moratoriums, etc., they had money tucked away to spend. This led to the fastest economic recovery in history as Americans spent money faster than any time in history. The demand for goods and services escalated above even pre-pandemic levels, and we simply lacked the goods to sell. Remember, Trump’s tariffs led to shortages of vital manufacturing components that still persist today. His ban on imports of things like infant formula led to crisis-level shortages. His deal with OPEC to slash production for two years created a global oil shortage that the world still hasn’t recovered from. A lower supply of goods means higher prices. Again, this is economics 101.
"Meanwhile, we saw the largest peacetime drop in unemployment in history, and the competition for workers led to higher wages. That complicated things threefold: first, because people started earning more, they had more money to spend. Second, because they were being paid more, businesses had to raise prices to offset pay increases. Third, because people were buying more, this taxed our low supply of goods even more. And now the snowball effect begins. People keep spending more and creating more jobs, which gives more people money to spend. And the more they spend the harder it is to keep up with production, so the less there is to buy. So prices keep rising but people keep spending and that just keeps prices going higher and higher.
"So in short, the ultimate cause for the current high inflation is an unprecedented increase in the purchasing power of Americans brought on by the “Biden Boom”, following colossal damage to our supply chain caused by four years of failed economic policies [thanks Donald] that were exacerbated by a complete failure to properly address the pandemic."

I've never claimed to have been a conservative republican. There are issues on which I agree with them."
Oh really Water Boy?

I will await your explaination.

The second paragraph says his numbers keep going down.
The second sentence says that republicans/conservatives should dump Trump.
That makes all the sense in the world, if they want to be competitive in 2024 at the presidential level.
As of now Trump, if stays out of prison, would drag your entire party down. This will be even more the case when the republican congress wastes 2 years vainly pursuing fake "investigation" and "go nowhere" impeachments.

Not so Water Boy, below is what it says and I take it to be your words over an article by a believe a Mr. Weir as you added a quotation mark in front of each of Weir's paragraphs
You put the post together and sent it as a response to Semo471.
Are you denying those are your words Leftau, because they are in your post and they are not paragraphs starting with quotes as the rest of the article is.
If you would like to deny those are your words and admit your punctation lacks what a College Boy should be able to put together I can live with it.
Because actually it bothers me a lot as a Conservative to think that someone of your calibre had ever pretended to be a Conservative. So an honest denial would go a long way to make me feel better.

Well Water Boy, I accepted what I read, and it sure as hell wasn't my fault you made a mistake, I read ir correctly and it has nothing to do with reluctance on my part to accept what i read. Unless from reading your postings of the past you consider my finding it hard to believe you would have ever been a Conservative with your constant glorifying the Leftist Liberal hogwash on these threads.
So now that I have helped to correct your post, is there any more help you need?
I certainly feel relieved you've never been a Conservative.
Further Water Boy, if you ever come up with a verifiable fact where Conservatives are Concerned, I am pretty sure I will be able to accept it.
You didn't say thank you for the help, but you're welcome anyway. 🤔 🤭

Methinks The water Boy is still smarting from the coaching on punctuation I had to give him.
Lefftau if you had been around the 4th grade at the Glennon Grade School in about 1948 you could have learned about Punctuation and Diagraming Sentences to enhance your understanding of the English Language.
Sorry they didn't have that in your classes of higher education, or perhaps it didn't sink in.
Now since you would like my opinion on Trumps opinion that he won, sorry, while I have an opinion on that, there is no way I would give you the satisfaction of knowing what it is. You see Water Boy, I don't owe you a thing and what I owe you is just what you will get. Still trying to decide if you really made a mistake on that statement of having been a Conservative Republican or you meant it as posted. Now I am happy if you really made a mistake because I would not want to ever share the same umbrella as a Conservative with the likes of you!
I am a Conservative and will always be, A conservative which is my business. You see Water Boy, I had a Grandfather who was more Conservative than about 90% of the people I know and he was a Democrat. However the other Grandfather was a Conservative but vocal Republican. I am what I and only I chose to be A Conservative. I am 100% against Liberalism, Socialism and Communism. A three step ladder to the ruination of our country!

Leftau, you keep repeating that along with your Trump, Trump, Trump that has gone on since he defeated Hillary Clinton.
If you want to continue to call someone pointing out where we were financially better off under Trump than we are under Dead Man Walking, defending him, then go for it. All it shows is your lack of understanding what is said and desperation to try and pin something on others. Your ignorance of the situation preceeds you.
As I have stated before, last couple of elections, I voted for the best of the worst and from what I have seen I consider my decision correct. In one case the decesion was against someone I consider totally morally bankrupt and inept, the other against someone who is mentally bankrupt and inept.

All that comes down to is your personal opinion.
When it comes down to popular vote, in 2016, the country decided that Trump was more "morally bankrupt and inept," than Clinton.
And in 2020 it's clear that the nation determined that Trump was more "mentally bankrupt and inept" than Biden.
Seems obvious that your boy Trump is the "worst of the worst."

Guess I missed this little hit and run last night.
But I believe the way voting works in this country Water Boy, Trump was the winner in 2016.
And in 2020 I don't think mental ability or lack thereof is in question. I believe Trump took the cognitive test and Biden refused it.
And if or not you want to believe it Leftau, Trump is not my boy. He was not my pick in the 2016 primary but the Democrats made it easy to vote for him by picking Hillary.
And 2020 was a no brainer for anyone who watched and listened to Biden. If there was a legal requirement for mental competence, Biden would not be President today.

Donald Trump 'Livid' & 'Screaming At Everyone' After Disappointing Midterm Results For GOP, Advisor Reveals
"'Trump is livid' and 'screaming at everyone,' after last night’s disappointing midterm results for GOP, according to a Trump adviser. The adviser went on to slam the former president’s handpicked contenders: 'they were all bad candidates.' 'Candidates matter,' the adviser said," CNN reporter Jim Acosta tweeted on Wednesday, November 9, just one day after Election Day took place.
Acosta continued, "This adviser said it’s unlikely Trump would delay his expected presidential announcement because 'it’s too humiliating to delay.' But the adviser said there are too many unknowns at this point."

Republicans have been pointing fingers at Donald Trump for in part costing them the red wave they had widely expected. But like it or not, the former president, who logged in several embarrassing defeats of candidates he endorsed, does not plan to disappear into the night. He's already promised to make a huge announcement about his political future on November 15, likely about his 2024 plans.

Alleged crimes is the key.

More delusion from Mr.VanGennip.
It is a fact that our former one-term, twice impeached, disgraced president stole classified and unclassified documents from the White House.
That is a crime.
Still trying to make excuses for your boy.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Nov 11, 2022, at 2:49 PM
As I've mentioned several times before. Trump has clearly committed crimes. He's confessed to them, as in declaring that the 10,000 or so classified and unclassified documents brought illegally to Mar-a-Lago were "Mine!"
Clearly they belonged to the US Government, and stealing them was and is a crime. He is a criminal, only not yet a convicted criminal.
If you prefer to consider him "innocent" that's your call.

Leftau, you're pathetic. Trump claims they were his and the government claims they are theirs. Of course he took them with him. But only a day in court will prove if he is a criminal, mistaken or innocent.
And what about the 33,000,000 pages Obama has been accused ot taking with him. Why isn't he being investigated to see if the charges are true?
As I have said many times also until he is indicted and has his day in court your babbling about it is meaningless.
I do not believe Trump will be on the ballot in 2024, but I will go so far as to say that we were a helluva lot better off financially in this country under Trump than we are under Biden. This side show is a disaster for the Country. He gets his way on shutting us down from using our natural resources and this Country is going to be in a world of hurt. Electric vehicles have been tried before and failed. They had them in Henry Ford's Day. Our Country runs on diesel and coal and you shut that down and you will find turning a hand crank generator to charge the battery in your electric car will get a little burdensome. Devaluing our money with inflation is going to be burdensome enough for a while.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Nov 11, 2022, at 6:10 PM
The law says the documents belong to the US Government and the American people. It makes zero difference what Trump "claims."
Obama's documents were unclassified and were processed legally through the National Archives. He did not steal them.
What's pathetic is your unswerving support for Trump's criminality and your constant excuse making for him.
Your imagination continues running to wild speculation as to what a paradise we'd be living in under a Trump. The main problem is that you appear to be unwilling or unable recognize the origin of the inflationary pressures today.
You seem to believe that since Biden's president, he's personally and totally the cause of worldwide inflation.

1.) The law says the documents belong to the US Government and the American people. It makes zero difference what Trump "claims."
Response: Well let's get it into court and let them decide. Your continuous yammering about it serves no purpose.
2.) Obama's documents were unclassified and were processed legally through the National Archives. He did not steal them.
Response: That without a source is nothing more than your opinion. Some of the media appear to disagree with you.
3.) What's pathetic is your unswerving support for Trump's criminality and your constant excuse making for him.
Response: Pointing out your errors and lack of proof is not support for anyone. It is pointing out your shortcomings.
4.) Your imagination continues running to wild speculation as to what a paradise we'd be living in under a Trump. The main problem is that you appear to be unwilling or unable recognize the origin of the inflationary pressures today.
Response: I never said anything of the kind. All I did was point out to you that we were better off financially under Trump than we are under Biden. That is a well know fact. Semo471/Truth Slingerr has pointed that out to you numerous times. Being the slow learner you are it apparently has not penetrated your thick skull yet.
5.) You seem to believe that since Biden's president, he's personally and totally the cause of worldwide inflation.
Response: I said nothing about worldwide inflation, I am speaking to the inflation in this country alone which has gone through the roof compared to what it was when Biden took over. And the dumb idea that this country can quit using our natural fuel resources and go to electricity is a pipe dream of the weird leftists in this country. Electricity has to be produced and distributed, doing it with a diesel generator to charge an electric automobile is the height of stupidity. The freakshow out in California wants to prohibit fossil fuel fired automobiles by I believe it is 2035. Then they turn around and tell people not to charge their electric cars because they cannot keep their air conditioners running during a heat wave is laughable. Guess it is better to walk than sweat.
So get your head screwed on straight Water Boy, the economy was fine when your Boy took over and has gone to hell under his failed policies.
And hey, we haven't even scratched the surface yet, when would you like to have a little conversation about the illegals Biden is allowing to run wild in this country. That was under control and that is not making excuses for anyone, it is pointing out a fact to Democrat Butt kissers like you!

Per Mr. VanGennip's own words, “I am a real conservative….”
Not quite true, you could easily qualify as a MAGA conservative, but a real conservative respects both facts and the truth, and is not committed to a “…politician who cannot show results.” (Senate 50 to 51 D vs 49 to 50 R is not showing results.)
Politicians like Cruz, Rubio, Greene, McCarthy and Vance are MAGA conservatives. Romney, Kitzinger and Cheney are real conservatives. Guess where VanGennip fits?

"The Independents already know Obiben isn't worth the paper the ballot his name was on."
I'm sure you know there was never a name "Obiden" on any ballot, and 10's of millions of independents voted for Biden.
Nevertheless, I know who and what you were referring, but don't really understand what your rationale is. Do you believe that every national and international issue or problem we're facing now was magically created by Joe Biden on January 20th 2021? How is that even possible that everything occurring in 2020 or earlier had zero impact on inflation, oil prices, Ukraine, immigration, Afghanistan, energy, etc.
When President Biden took office he became responsible for "fixing things" but does not mean he created all those problems (in spite of how the right wing media spins it.)

When I state facts like, this country was much better off financially under Trump than they are under the OBiden train wreck we are experiencing, it is just that stating a fact, not expressing an all out endorsement of Trump.

With respect to the "worst of the leftist democrats" (whatever that is supposed to be) if you state what you mean, I'll respond.

I have never seen another single case of anyone going so radically obsessed over another as you did after and ongoing since the determination was made that Trump beat Hillary Clinton.
Was it because Trump left the Democrat Party, he beat Hillary or both?

As I mentioned, in paying so little time to the actual facts of world and national events, the "many" that find your opinions relevant, apparently have equally limited sources.
As for your assertion that my criticism of Clinton, Obama and Biden were not "vile" enough, consider the fact that none of them started an "insurrection," none promoted a big lie, none forced candidates to act as "election deniers," and none committed as many costly blunders.
For one more time, pointing out the truth about Trump is in no way an obsession. Were he to just go away, the entire nation would celebrate.

Water Boy of course you are not going to condemn your Dims. But you spent four years on Trump's behind, way before there was a demonstration in DC. So that argument won't wash and yes Clinton did work towards getting someone to change their vote in the electoral college. Obviously your strong suite is not honesty.
And you have no idea what iwatch inthe way of world news.

"...your strong suit is not honesty..."
So says the guy that specializes in denying/dismissing the truth and facts. For example...
The big lie is something Trump "truly believes."
The January 6th insurrection was a few "disgruntled" individuals.
Trump created a great economy.
Won't condemn election deniers.
Believes that Biden personally caused worldwide inflation.

"...your strong suit is not honesty..."
So says the guy that specializes in denying/dismissing the truth and facts. For example...
1.) The big lie is something Trump "truly believes."
Responce: That is not even close to what I said. Another lie on your part.
2.) The January 6th insurrection was a few "disgruntled" individuals.
Responce: I never said that either, another Leftau lie.
3.) Trump created a great economy.
Responce: Neither did I say that.
4.) Won't condemn election deniers.
Responce: I do not find it my job to condemn anyone. Find one instance where I made a positve statement one way or the other.
5.) Believes that Biden personally caused worldwide inflation.
Responce: How does a windbag like you know what I believe. I am not open on my feelings on most things because I have had enough experience with your twisting of most everything said by those who do not believe in your philosophy.
Nowhere have I stated that Biden was personally responsible for worldwide inflation. I have said more than once that I believe Biden's failed policies right here in America have cause the inflation we are experiencing right here in America. We sit on a 200 year supply of oil not to mention coal reserves and Biden's pipe dream of an America on Electricity strictly is what is causing our problems.
How about we talk about his EO on the open border allowing us to be flooded by illegals. Why haven't these people gone to the great Socialist Society of Venezuela if that type system is so successful?
----- ---- --- -- -
Now's your chance specify what you claim the I've been dishonest about.
Didn't think you'd come up with anything.
Responce: You didn't eh, well try reading your 5 talking points above and the lies you made of them. And your trying to cover for Biden with your pushing world wide inflation is our problem. I was in Yugoslavia when their inflation rate exceeded 1000% and it had no effect here. Our problems are self created, you cannot keep handing out money and just printing more when there is nothing to back it up with. And inflation hits those no longer earning worse than anyone, it makes the money they have put aside purchase less. A $4 gallon of gasoline will take you no further than a $2 per gallon will.
Twist and turn Water Boy, that is what you specialize in. I could tell you, maybe not word for word, but basically what I said on the points above, but am going to let you see if you can prove you are not lying by finding my statements if I made one at all on a subject. You see Lefty, you try hard to get me to commit to something, my feeling so you can twist it and make a lie of it. I take great pleasure in denying you that opportuity.
You see Water Boy, I have private opinions which I will share only when I feel like it and with whom I have enough respect for to share my opinions.
I will however, point out your twisting of what I say to make outright lies of what I really said.

As I've pointed out several times, your favorite responses involve denying, dodging, deferring and doubling down on excuses.
What your "private opinions" are doesn't matter and I'd suggest that no one cares. The above 5 general examples of of positions you've supported are not verbatim statements and you not recognizing these issues is your business.
There is nothing dishonest about what I've pointed out. You have yet to prove anything by simple denials such as, "that is not even close to what I said."
It's clearly getting harder to make excuses about Trump.

I am not making excuses for Trump. All I did in the post above was point out that you twisted what I said to make a lie of it.
So, if your feeble mind doesn't retain what another says, then it is better not to repeat it, because you only make a fool of yourself.
Either come clean and try to remember what I said or go back and refresh your memory.
If I have to do it for you, you're not going to look so good.
So since you already admitted you don't know what I said, I am calling you a liar until you prove different.

Water Boy, I am going to help you a little since you have made yourself appear incompetent to help yourself.
1.) The big lie is something Trump "truly believes."
I never said that.
What I did say, and it may not be word for word is the following.
If a person truly believes what they are saying, they are not lying. They may be dead wrong but they are not lying if they truly believe it. They alone are going to know the difference, lying or mistaken.
That is not a theory on my part, I provided Leftau backup from some more learned person than myself. If he doesn't want to accept it, not my problem.
I will take it further, Trump knows if he is lying.
Leftau assumes he is lying. We all know what assume makes of you and me.
So Water Boy, I will give you some time to back off on the rest of your BS. Or I will do it a lie a day for you.
I am not a politician, I am not running for office, so I feel it is my prerogative to tell this party hack only what I feel like, no more, no less.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Nov 14, 2022, at 8:35 AM
Face it Mr. VanGennip, you're the true "party hack" with your disregard for facts.
If you believe that Trump "won in a landslide" you're delusional.
Same is true if you think Trump "truly belives" he won.
Trump actually has occasionally admitted the truth when he asks staff members something like. "How could I have lost to that guy?"
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Nov 14, 2022, at 9:42 AM
Water Boy, I do not disregard true facts. But I do disregard "invented facts from the likes of you.
Trump has been the enemy since he beat Hillary Clinton. I could care less, Trump was not my first choice as I have stated many times so I had to pick the best of the worst 2 elections in a row.
So wht don't you take an honest look at the train wreck we have for a President now? I refuse to have my attention diverted from the current mistake.

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Nov 14, 2022, at 12:43 PM
Rick S.,
Here are a few observations from your post yesterday morning…
You wrote that President Biden “failed more than he succeeded” after the “one year national shutdown.”
Keep in mind that the shutdown included the US going into recession in February 2020, a 14.7% unemployment rate in April 2020, a GDP drop of 32% in the 2nd Qtr of 2020, individual economic impact payments in 2020, and Congress passing a $900 billion Covid Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act in December of 2020. Also in April of 2020 the US pressured the Saudi’s and Russians to cut back oil production.
So while he “…took over any and all issues facing the US of A…” he could not alter all of the contributing factors that preceded his inauguration. The American Rescue Plan was a continuation of Covid response to help small businesses survive and Americans keep their homes.
All those factors drove worldwide inflation and the international oil price. There was no US oil well shut down as in 2020 production 11.28 million barrels per day and in 2021 it was 11.19, virtually no change.
The 77 Executive Orders signed by President Biden in his first year is listed in Wikipedia and was fewer than his predecessor’s first year, but all were public knowledge no secrets.
The unilateral Afghanistan surrender itself, was what allowed the Taliban to claim victory. The withdrawal clearly was chaotic on the first days but then successfully evacuated 120,000 Americans and allies.
The military aid to Ukraine is what soundly repelled Putin’s attempted invasion and take over of a sobering country. President Biden’s success in pulling NATO together and NATO’s aid is allowing Ukraine to survive.
On our Southern border, the one factor that’s ignored is that US law allows asylum seekers to remain in the US. What was needed from the start was Congress to update the law through a comprehensive immigration plan.
Your complaints about his falling asleep, 54 states, and “American Made” being 2 words are the kind of thing that Fox and Sky news uses to make molehills out of anthills.
I have listened to him talk, and have not listened to Fox version, and he is not a person with “no mind.”
With you saying he “…failed more than he succeeded…” what is it that you consider failures and what were his successes?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Nov 14, 2022, at 2:14 PM
"How could I have lost to that guy?"
Normal Americans, in hearing the above statement, are aware that the individual asking the question, knows he lost.
Or do you truly believe that he is so ignorant that he is unaware that he really did lose?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Nov 14, 2022, at 2:26 PM
Former President Donald Trump has criticized Republican Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears after the two publicly blamed Trump for the GOP’s midterm midterm performance. Sears called Trump a “liability” during an interview with Fox News. The former president said Sears is “phony” in a post on Truth Social, and added that Youngkin would have never won the election without his help.

Ok Leftau, if you haven't got the education to figure it out it could mean one of the following.......
1.) "How could I have lost to that guy?"
Meaning the guy (Biden) was so mentally out of it, how could anyone vote for him, but they did anyway.
2,) "How could I have lost to that guy?"
Meaning Biden must have told more convincing lies than me and people believed them.
3.) "How could I have lost to that guy?"
I think the Democrats cheated and stole the election from me.
4:) "How could I have lost to that guy?"
I know I lost but I will not accept it.
Now number 4 has got to read into the question that he knows he lost but won't accept it. That is the takeaway that the Water Boy would like to read into it. I personally see no way that it reads that. But if that is normal thinking, I think I would prefer not being normal according to Leftau's interpetation.
Personally I believe Trump's ego is such that he cannot imagine himself loosing. And that is what the question is about. I do not see in any way that it is admitting that he lost as you stated. See below....
" Trump actually has occasionally admitted the truth when he asks staff members something like. "How could I have lost to that guy?"

Leftau. I am not looking for what is portrayed as versions, I am looking for the exact words if it is supposed to be a quote. Your "version"of what someone said doesn't cut it. I thought your original was sold to us as what Trump said. It will take a link to be credible at this point, and not from some Democrat rag pretending to.be the news.

hey Water Boy
Follows is a definition of Version
Ver·sion
/ˈvərZHən/
noun
1.
a particular form of something differing in certain respects from an earlier form or other forms of the same type of thing:
"a revised version of the paper was produced for a later meeting"
Similar
sortkindtypevariety
2.
an account of a matter from a particular person's point of view:
"he told her his version of events"
Similar
reportstatementdescriptionrecord
verb
1.
create a new version of:
"it's the software for you if you need versioning and group editing"
So Leftau, since it is facts we are looking for, we do not need versions. We are all big boys and girls here. We can handle the truth. And truth is what was originally said in a quote, not some water down or hyped up "version" to try and decieveus.
When can we expect the link to the real words as we now know all you have been telling us is your version which appear to be lies. If it actually happened there are links to the actual words used.
i doubt that you will ever produce them because they either do not exist or it is your intention to keep us from finding the truth.

And nope Leftau, you didn't help me, you helped yourself if they actually verify anything. I don't need help proving what you said, that is your chore. I don't have to follow around picking up behind you. That is your chore. If you note, most often, if I post something that could be in question, I supply a link to where the information comes from.
Nope, you didn't help me, if they are valid you helped yourself doing what is your chores. It is not my responsibility of picking up after you and I have absolutely no intention to start now. I know very how to use the internet, but am not your butt boy. Do your own legwork.

Rick S.,
"Wheels word is his bond ..."
That may well be true. And I'm sure that he's a very nice person.
That doesn't alter the fact that he has some significant misconceptions about political aspects of our nation.
For example he states, "Trump is no longer President..." which is true but ignores the fact that the one-term, twice impeached, disgraced former President is apparently intent on running for a second term (in spite of his popularity spiring downward.)
That's specifically why Trump is the subject of this thread and telling the truth about him is extremely necessary, since there are still numbers of individuals that believe his fabrications and warped view of reality.
The clearest example is his claim that he won the 2020 election in "a landslide." Virtually everyone in the nation, including Trump himself, knows that's not true.
Mr. VanGennip seems to continue to cling to the notion that somehow if he admits to the big lie being exactly that, it will damage his “credibility.”
Here's another quote that shows Trump knew he lost...
"Alyssa Farah Griffin, then the head of White House strategic communications, told the Jan. 6 committee that she popped into the Oval Office “maybe a week after the election was called” to check on Trump. “He was looking at the TV, and he said, ‘Can you believe I lost to this effing guy?’” Farah Griffin said. Another former White House aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, gave a similar account. The president told chief of staff Mark Meadows “something to the effect of ‘I don’t want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure it out,’” Hutchinson recalled. “‘I don’t want people to know that we lost.’”

"Mr. VanGennip seems to continue to cling to the notion that somehow if he admits to the big lie being exactly that, it will damage his “credibility.”"
Leftau I have nothing that I need to admit to, I am not a politicaian, I have never run for political office, and I have commintted no crimes in the political or private venue to confess to you. Your on and on BS about Trump and your self pontificating that you are strictly doing a public service doesn't hold water. You have been doing the same thing over and over again since within days of Trump being announced the winner over Hillary Clinton.
We have been given the choice of voting for the best of the worst twice in a row now, 2016 and 2020.
I know who I am and am comfortable with it. Therefore I feel no obligation to subscibe to the BS of some Democratic Water Boy.
And another thing Water Boy, since you may not be paying attention to what goes on around you, you must have missed the following that I mentioned to another poster just last evening. Try reading, if follows.
Semo471
"Biden is npt a has been, he is a never was.

Few more details from yesterday....
2. “Together we built the greatest economy in the history of the world.”
This is an oldie-but-goodie from Trump’s 2020 stump speech. And it’s still not true.
3. “Many people think that because of this, China played a very active role in the 2020 election. Just saying.”
Trump here is suggesting that because his administration was hard on China that China somehow meddled in the 2020 election. There isn’t – as you probably already guessed – any evidence to back up that claim.
4. “The vicious ISIS caliphate, which no president was able to conquer, was decimated by me and our great warriors in less than three weeks.”
close dialog
“By me.”
5. “And yet I’ve gone decades, decades without a war. The first president to do it for that long a period.”

And Leftau, it is usually not Mr. VanGennip making all of those repetitious wild claims with no backup link to prove his work.
That is a Mr. Leftau.
I have told you before, you make the statement, it is your obligation to prove it, not mine to do the work you appear to be unable to do and furnish. Anytime I see your mouth going in print with no backup out there I look upon it as probable BS.
I call it as I see it and am not doing your proof work for you.
How about this statement Leftau....
"The next 2 years won't be "retaliation and revenge" for him, but rather indictment and conviction."
Where is your backup for that statement. And since the Democrats have lost the House for the next two years, I don't think you are going to see the same amount of wasted time that we saw in the comparable 4 years of Trump's Admnistration.
And then we have gained the loss of Nasty Nancey from the far left land of fruits and nuts as House Leader, and we have some common sense entering the picture again.

It is not my responsibility to prove or disprove everything you post. That is your job and not being your Butt Boy, I have no intention of doing so. I will call them as I see them, You make the statement, you furnish the proof.

And Water Boy, say what you like, but if you furnish no proof of what you say, I have no obligation to furnish proof when I call it what it appears to be.
I saw no proof when I called it repetitious trash and I see no need to prove anything to you. I don't fabricate, I call them as I see them. You make a statement; prove it and you will not get a word out of me. Post unsubstantiated BS and don't be offended when called on it.
So throw your insults and lies at will, You will find that you cannot stampede me into doing what you demand. You see Leftau I was not put on this earth to bow to your demands. So hammer away but you might want to be careful of what turns around and bites you in the *** Little Man. I have playd your games with people who were a lot sharper than you and the stakes were a lot higher. I gave you an unbacked up response to an unbacked statement by you.

Apparently various Middle Eastern governments paid over $10,000 per night to Trump.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Nov 21, 2022, at 1:47 PM
"Weisselberg told a jury that Trump, 76, was not only aware of the untaxed benefits at the heart of the government’s criminal case against the Trump Organization, but he was the guy who authorized them, as it was ‘convenient for the company’ for Weisselberg and other senior employees to receive benefits and bonuses that were not declared as part of their regular salary."
What would you bet that Mr. Weisselberg, with all of the other stuff going on didn't see this coming and cut a deal with the FEDS to testify if he was given a free ride on the deal.
If Trump was giving Weiselberg gifts and other gratuties instead of paying him directly for his services it was definitely wrong and somebody owes taxes. If it was pay for work completed then Weiselberg would be the party paying the taxes due not Trump. The only taxes Trump could be paying was a portion of FICA if it was wages. A payment for wages or a service would be a deduction for Trump and a taxable income to Weiselberg. In either case Trump would be wrong but so would Weiselberg for accepting gifts in lieu of payment to escape taxes. Methinks a lot of things smell here. And I am betting Wiselberg is not lily white & clean. Weasel sounds like an appropriate name for him.
Now Leftau you may want to take that as a support for Trump, but I paid all taxes legally due when in business and took every deduction legally due. The key word is legally. If you owe it you pay it, if you do not, then you do not pay it. I do not support anyone not paying taxes due, but not exactly seeing the benefit to Trump here. It would appear that Weiselberg was the one who benfited in this case. Wrong on the part of both in any case. And I am sure there is something more missing here.

Here's one more lie...
"Over the years, I've given millions and millions of pages of documents, tax returns and everything else, and they have found nothing," Trump insisted. "Which means I've proven to be one of the most honest and innocent people ever in our country."

'Hostage situation': GOP insiders fear Trump third party run if he loses primary
Story by Brad Reed • 6h ago
Former President Donald Trump is still the frontrunner to be the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nominee \-- but what would happen if he were defeated.
Republican insiders who spoke with Semafor say they can't rule out the possibility that Trump would completely sabotage the party by launching an independent candidacy, with former RNC official Michael Short likening it to a "hostage situation."
The publication notes that Trump teased potentially running as a third-party candidate in 2016, which he boasted gave him "leverage" over the party as a whole.

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Wed, Nov 23, 2022, at 4:57 PM
How is pointing out facts about Trump's behavior, his words, and his actions get interpreted as "anger?"
It is Trump's anger over being held accountable for his crimes that's becoming more and more obvious.
Were it possible for anyone, other than our SO Trumpist followers, to actually be "judge, jury and executioner" he would long ago been out of the public eye, and held responsible for his crimes.

Leftau, not making excuses for anyone, just pointing out your lies. And that is a bigger task than I have the time to do an adequate job of. And this partial statement (if he truly believes it) inserted in a sentence regarding me is a lie in itself Leftau, because I have explained to you numerous times, even given you opinions by others bearing out what I said is factual.
My original statement which you pulled words from to make a lie of your own was esentially as follows, maybe not word for word is as follows. If someone makes a statement that he truly believes is true is not lying although he may be dead wrong. And only the person making the statement knows for sure if he is lying or stating the truth as he believes it. Being as slow a learner as you are Water Boy, it is not surprising that you cannot get it through your thick skull what I really said. In the case of Trump believing or not believing that he lost the 2020 election, with an ego such as he has, it is hard to tell if he really believes he won or just won't admit it and is lying. Him, being an ego centered politician and me not a mind reader, I do not know exactly what he believes, and Leftau, I am positively certain you can not actually say you know what he is thinking deep inside, without lying yourself.
I am not going to put myself in the place of judge and jury and say if he is lying or simply mistaken. You have already done that with the title statement of this thread. Your title of "Trump's Big Lie that Will Die", is a statement of your own ego that you absolutely know what is going on inside Trump's head.
So you can accept what is the philosophy of others or become the liar in the process of disregarding it as being factual. I will accept the philosophy of others more learned than myself that if you truly believe what you are saying, it is not a lie but that you may be dead wrong. I am not so egotistical that I believe that I know exactly what others are thinking.
There was a time in history when learned men believed that the world was flat and you could possibly fall off the end of it, were they lying, or were they just simply wrong because they were short some facts. Facts that were not well established at the time.
So Leftau, either quote all of a sentence that I made and quit twisting what I say or I will make you out to be what you obviously are every time.
And remain ignorant if that is what you prefer, your option.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Nov 23, 2022, at 10:59 PM
If you think that Trump "truly believes" he won the 2020 election "in a landslide" that's your privilege. Facts and his own words don't support this belief or this defense.

Leftau as I stated last night I do not presume to know what was on Trump’s mind. Presuming and assuming seems to be habitual with you.
I simply made a statement which you like to quote only a portion of.
No different than your assumption that indictment is proof of guilt.
I believe that if the Republicans follow through with impeachment on Biden there will be no follow through conviction.
There have been three President's impeached/indicted. No guilty verdict yet. The impeach crowd cannot muster the numbers needed for conviction. Take the last two in order, Clinton and Trump.
The way things stand in politics, I don't see it ever happening that an impeachment/indicted President is convicted.

Mr. Braswell,
Here you go, full context. Possibly you can comprehend what Trump was talking about, the rest of America couldn’t.
Here, with no edits, is a word-for-word transcript of one such example:
“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, okay, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”

"...one of the lower 1/3 of Americans approving of Biden and the 16% that that think the economy is good?"
What you probably meant is that I'm not in the lower 49% that disapprove of President Biden. As for the economy, what's bad is the worldwide level of inflation, but what's good that you missed is...
The unemployment rate is already back to the full employment level.
The labor force participation rate has started to pick up, as some of the folks who left the labor force are coming back to work.
Corporate profits are more than satisfactory. ...
Strong profits have supported business investment. ...
...and...
The following six facts give a snapshot of how the U.S. economy is doing. Economists call them leading economic indicators because they measure the early influencers on growth. The economy grew 3.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase follows 6.3% growth in Q1, 6.7% growth in Q2, and a 2.3% increase in Q3.
The most recent gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate was 3.3% for the fourth quarter of 2021. This growth continues the recovery from the 2020 second-quarter rate of -31.2%, the worst contraction in U.S. history. 2 Before then, the deepest quarterly contraction was a 10.0% drop in the first quarter of 1958.

You know and I know that Mr V was referring to that unedited gaffe a thon by your buddy ol Joe but as your usual way of attempting to turn it just proved my point made earlier. Thx
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, Nov 28, 2022, at 7:01 PM
You still missed it. Mr. VanGennip's comment referenced my 1:23 post which was Trump's gobbledygook.
There was no speech by President Biden. It was just some extracted words spliced into an intentionally misleading loop.
I'd say you didn't prove any point, but I'll leave it to you to clarify what you were trying to say.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Nov 28, 2022, at 9:09 PM
Leftau, It could be something from Trump, when posted by you, who knwos where something comes from.
At amy rate it sure sound like something from Biden. Because that is what I am used to coming from that area.
My question stands, were you proud of it. I never really passed judgement on it. Just breezed over it.
So, now see if you can twist what I just said to suit your agenda.
And by the way you never answered my earlier question. I will repeat it again......

Someone on here claimed a president had nothing to do about high energy prices but Ol Joe sure is working hard to prove that wrong. Begging OPEC to increase production,selling off strategic reserves and now going to Venezuela on the pretense of boosting production. By the looks of the Venezuelan production and delivery systems that are abandoned shambles it won’t make a dent. Ruin the ecology of another country just like the mining of metals for these EV’s.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Nov 29, 2022, at 11:47 AM
What was said was simply that President Biden did not personally cause oil prices to increase.
The other factors you mentioned were all to decrease oil prices.
Mr. Braswell's concern for Venezuela's environment can only be described as "cute."

Yeah and if Biden had not issued the EO dealing with drilling just to try and cancil out anything positive Trump had left him, we would't be discussing this in my opinion. So yes Biden did affect the price and availability of oil products.
We don't even need to go to the Border F up he created to know how that has affected us.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Nov 29, 2022, at 4:06 PM
“Cute”? What in the twisted mind of yours caused that completely uncalled for accusation? Go ahead and explain that,Mr Lettau. Better come up with something good.

If you're a staunch environmentalist, support national efforts to control global warming, to reduce greenhouse gases, and applaud President Biden's return to the Paris Climate Accords, I'd be happy to apologize for misjudging you.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Nov 29, 2022, at 4:56 PM
Never claimed to be a “staunch” environmentalist and I think the Paris Accords is as much a symbolic joke as the UN. When the real culprits are given a pass then it’s a joke. But when this administration abuses another’s environment to somehow try to solve a problem it caused it flies in the face of all that global warming love the planet BS.
But I accept the rarely given apology.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Nov 29, 2022, at 5:29 PM
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, won't pry into or ask for details on your environmental beliefs.
However, stating the issue as "...somehow [trying] to solve a problem it caused..." is misleading to say the least.
Consider the fact that US oil production in million barrels per day was 11.0 mb/d in 2018, 12.2 in 2019, 11.3 in 2020, 11.2 in 2021, 11.7 in 2022, and projected to be 12.4 mb/d in 2023.
Seems that oil production is equal or higher under this administration.

If all that is true, since there is no backup proof, then explain to us why the price of fuel shot up under Biden. Why is Diesel still in the $5 per gallon range?
And also, please tell us why the Railroad Stike that Biden takes credit for preventing, now seem imminent? At which time our supply chain is going to be upside down, and as if trucking wasn't high enough already. I have a receipt for a freight bill of $3850 to get a generator delivered from Idaho to St. Charles, MO. And that is where the Generator, slightly used instead of new had to come from or wait for 50 weeks to get one new from a manufacturer. I needed it before winter as we are predicted to have a lot of ice and snow and could be facing electrical outage this winter.
Somehow Water Boy, I question your numbers as we were not facing fuel shortages prior to Biden's half baked EO, which appears to have created. And why is our Fuel Oil reserve at a low if we are producing so much? Cannot be because the economy is booming because it is not.
Maybe you could explain to us or answer those questions

Do you two really not understand how the world oil price gets established.
Hint, it's not by either President Trump or by President Biden.
Perhaps you missed what US oil production was for the past 5 years or so. If you had paid attention, you'd have noticed that US production has little to nothing to do with the world price.
My recommendation has been that the US, Canada, Mexico and Venezuela form our own production cartel.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Nov 29, 2022, at 8:53 PM

Leftu, nowhere have I ever suggested that Biden directly sets the price of oil products. What I have said is that his policies influence prices, and I think that is true of all Presidents.
It is just that this President provides more mistakes and stuqid moves than most I have known in my lifetime.
You may defend him until hell freezes over Water Boy, but the facts are if he is the best the Democrats could muster they are in a world of hurt.

Likeability and ability are two different qualities entirely Water Boy.
Trump and Biden have both demonstrated this.
Trump was capable but not likeable.
Biden is likeable but totally incapable.
Finding both in one man/woman is rare!
We need a President who is a capable leader no matter the politics. As I said before, if Biden was the best the Democrats had, they are in trouble. He is no leader.
Sniffing ladies and babies is not a qualification. Then his involvement with his son is no help. The Sniff and Snort team.

But in Biden's case incompetent is written all over things, from the Disastrous Afghanistan pullout, to inflation, to shortages.
And so far as Leftist leanings, Biden's Dictatorial Covid demands, his handouts to the point many people will not work, to his attempted single hand cancelation of college debt show him to be a Commie at heart. Create loyal subjects is the name of the game.

Evangelical influencers pan Trump as driven by 'grievances and self-importance'
(RNS) — In his biweekly email to evangelical Christian pastors, David Lane, a political operative based in Texas and leader of the American Renewal Project, described former President Donald Trump as out of touch, driven by personal grievances and self-importance.
“Unfortunately, the former president’s penchant for settling political scores and his compulsion to keep the spotlight upon himself have both become threadbare and trite,” Lane’s email said.

Nope Water Boy, not behind every bush. Never see them at all around the type people I associate with. Only place to look for them is in the Far-Left branch of the Democratic Party, you know, those you carry water for on a daily basis.
Find below a definition of Communism, read it and maybe rethink your position of trying to make pretty everything the Democrats say and do.
You are obviously so obsessed with everthing Trump and so scared that he may run again and that after the past couple of years of this Presidential Disaster the American Voter will vote him back in.
I think you can quit obsessing about it, because I do not see him as the Republican Candidate in 2024.
Leftau if you paid half as much attention to this current disaster of an administration you might come to your senses and quit obsessing over the past.
Something else that may not give you a lot of comfort Leftau, but living where you are, your vote, you know the final one that counts, has way better chance of being delivered to the Republican Candidate for President than it does for your Democrat.
Oh, and below for your education. is a definition of Communism. Do some deep thinking and see if you can figure out which one of our current major political parties seem to be falling in line with the Commumist Philosophy.
com·mu·nism
[ˈkämyəˌnizəm]
NOUN
a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. See also Marxism.〔The most familiar form of communism is that established by the Bolsheviks after the Russian Revolution of 1917, and it has generally been understood in terms of the system practiced by the former Soviet Union and its allies in eastern Europe, in China since 1949, and in some developing countries such as Cuba, Vietnam, and North Korea. Communism embraced a revolutionary ideology in which the state would wither away after the overthrow of the capitalist system. In practice, however, the state grew to control all aspects of communist society. Communism in eastern Europe collapsed in the late 1980s and early 1990s against a background of failure to meet people's economic expectations, a shift to more democracy in political life, and increasing nationalism such as that which led to the breakup of the Soviet Union.〕

Something I understand Biden will not take.

And no, I don't idolize Trump. I believe I have explained this to you earlier. But then you're more than a little slow.
I have said before, when you have two viable candidates to pick from, you sometimes have to pick the best of the worst. This I did,I am comfortable with it. And given the same choices, I would not change a thing. Overall given the harassment the Democrats gave Trump, he was lucky to accomplish anything. They should be proud of themselves.

Mr. VanGennip,
As usual, your imagination continues to run wild. As has been pointed on many previous occasions, providing examples of Trump failures and incompetence, is not evidence of "hatred" rather just telling the truth.
If hearing facts about him upset you, it's something you'll have to live with, but it has nothing to do with any degree of hate on my part.

Well Water Boy I will tell you what I believe is the truth.
When you have a childish obsession with anything you cannot let go of you need to seek help. It is available. If I got up every morning and broadcast to the readers on here that it is now morning would you say I was lying or just telling the truth. Would you think there might be something a little strange about behaviour like that.
When I was in high school riding the bus home every evening we passed by a man's home about 3:45 in the afternoon. Many times you could look out the window of the school bus and see this man walking around carrying a lighted lantern. Was the man normal or was he just a tad anxious and had an obsession about darkness coming and was just prepared. I was told that his Father had committed suicide and he found him and never got over it. What is your excuse for obsessive behaviour?
And Water Boy, there is nothing wrong with my imagination. Your ongoing obsession with Trump is not just my imagination.
Part of it I believe, is trying to provide cover for the failures of the current Dead Man Walking!
One learns from the past, but when they dwell on the past while ignoring the present, it is obsessive in my opinion.
And please don't bore us with something like you are only interested in seeing justice done. If that were true, you would have been obsessing about people like Hillary and Bill Clinton, ongoing like you do Trump.
Now, do you think it is my imagination that I have never seen you post one bit of truth about people like Hillary Clinton. And if the misgivings of politicians are something you must report every bit of truth on, you have a vast career ahead of you.
So let's just stick to what it really is.

DA, some years ago while on winter retreat in the Gulf Shores Area, a man that I had met and occassionally had a little conversaation with brought me a jug with some moneshine in it. It had been given to him by a customer of his and there was probably a quart left in it. I poured it out in a wine bottle and corked it up. I could not drink the stuff. I am not one who will not have a drink, but it has to at least tast good to me. Don't know what happened to the stuff. It set around for awhile but disappeared. I suspect one of my daughters who helps us with things was on a cleanout mission, opened the bottled smelled it and poured it down the drain and put the bottle in the garbage can. Like walking a Rock Fence barefooted was a good description of it. Want something a little stonger than an occassional beer I will pour myself a little Evan Williams flavored Egg Nog. it's back on the shelves for the Holliday Season.

Trump furiously denies calling for 'termination' of the Constitution in wild new rant
"Former President Donald Trump on Monday angrily denied that he had called for the termination of portions of the U.S. Constitution."
"Two days after Trump created a firestorm by once again claiming his 2020 election loss was fraudulent and then writing on Truth Social "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great 'Founders' did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!" he is now attacking the press for reporting on his rant."

Trump faces peril in docs probe after decades of scrutiny
Story by By ERIC TUCKER, Associated Press
"WASHINGTON (AP) — As a businessman and president, Donald Trump faced a litany of lawsuits and criminal investigations yet emerged from the legal scrutiny time and again with his public and political standing largely intact.
"But he's perhaps never confronted a probe as perilous as the Mar-a-Lago investigation, an inquiry focused on the potential mishandling of top-secret documents. The sense of vulnerability has been heightened in recent weeks not only by the Justice Department's appointment of a special counsel with a reputation for aggressiveness but also by the removal of a Trump-requested independent arbiter in the case and by judges' unequivocal rejection of his lawyers' arguments."
"It's impossible to predict how much longer the investigation will last or whether the Justice Department will take the unprecedented step of indicting a former president and current candidate. But Trump is no longer shielded from prosecution the way he was as president, and some legal experts regard the Mar-a-Lago investigation as centered on more straightforward factual and legal questions than the prior probes he has dealt with."

Leftau, didn't see the need to repeat what another poster has proven at least a dozen times.
Why don't show us where inflation doesn't exist, where fuel is cheaper, where the grocery stores aren't going to need to set up a loan officer at the check out stands. If prices keep going up, where a well used automobile isn't costing more for the purpose of personal property taxes.
Oh yes Uly we are so much more financially secure under Biden.
A few more inflation causing Democrats like Carter and Brain Dead Biden and a million dollar annual income will be the new poverty level.
Ever heard of Germany in the not so distant past?
I was in Yugoslavia maybe 20 years ago when they had a little more than 1000% inflation rate. I was told the way you handle it was spend your paycheck the day you received it for durable goods.
Yes, we need to elect some more tax and spend Democrats!!

Anderson Cooper's Donald Trump Comparison Will Leave You On The Floor
Reports of CNN becoming more centrist and less opinionated just got body-checked by a wisecrack from Anderson Cooper on Monday.
"The “Anderson Cooper 360” anchor made a wild comparison after Donald Trump called for terminating parts of the Constitution and to perhaps be reinstalled as president.
"On the show, Democratic strategist David Axelrod remarked that Republicans still fear denouncing Trump and the potential repercussions from his base. This prompted Cooper to say: “It is like having a drunk relative who yells out obscenities or incredibly inappropriate things, and you don’t know what to do about him and so people just ignore him. Soon he’ll be wandering around with an onion tied to his belt, talking about [how] movies used to cost a nickel.”
"Cooper added with a laugh: “There’s no question there. I just felt I wanted to say that.”
"First, funny. Second, props to Cooper for the “Simpsons” onion-belt reference."
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Dec 6, 2022, at 2:08 PM

Amazingly enough, Fox has begun telling the truth...
Fox Business Host Drops Hard Truths In Trump-Bashing Segment
Fox Business host Stuart Varney has again gone after Donald Trump for dragging down the Republican Party.
“Varney ― a former Trump ally who once insisted the then-president had never told the American people a lie ― devoted a segment Tuesday to criticizing Trump for backing dud candidates in the recent midterms. He also took issue with Trump’s attempt to take back remarks he made over the weekend calling for parts of the Constitution to be terminated to accommodate his desire to be re-installed as president.
“He was talking about terminating parts of the Constitution. That plays right into the Democrats’ hands,” Varney said. “He’s trying to walk it back today but the damage has been done.”
“Varney also said Trump “appears to be losing what used to be his iron grip on the GOP,” noting candidates he endorsed in key midterm races in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania had all lost.
“Varney predicted Trump would not take responsibility for the outcome unless it was favorable.
“If Walker wins, Trump will take all the credit, guaranteed. If Walker loses, Trump will blame Walker for not inviting Trump into the state,” he said.
“To cap it off, Varney quoted from a Wall Street Journal editorial that warned Republicans they’ll effectively be “terminating” the GOP should they choose Trump as their nominee for president in 2024.”

B & V grasping at straws...
"Climate Change is NOT a hoax. But 45's election MAY HAVE been," Jeffries wrote in a June 2017 tweet, nearly five months after Trump entered the White House."

Yep,that’s what he(Jefferies)said,but as your usual pick and choose way of trying to argue you left out:
The more we learn about the 2016 election the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes,” Jeffries said in another tweet from 2018. “America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE president in the oval office.”
I’m sure you just overlooked that.

Are we better off now with $5.00 per gallon diesel fuel needed to keep out trucks rolling than we were with the fuel oil in the $3 range of the Trump Presidency, Having just experience a $3800 freight bill to deliver 5500 lbs from Idaho to St. Charles, MO, I do not think so. The supplier shipping me the product said previously it was in the $2000 range when I questioned the charge. And since I needed the product, I paid the price.

I have never been 100% Trump or rarely any other politician, but I can see he was goaded into some of the stuff he did while in office. So what happens next?

The first option was for a non-partison, non-political committee like the 9-11 commission. Republicans turned that down.
The second was a non-partison Congressional committee. McConnell turned that down.
The last option was a bipartisan House Select committee, which was established. Jordan was a admitted co-conspirator which is way he was rejected.

Mr. Braswell,
I'm sure that someone with your vast knowledge and experience is aware that this was an investigation, not a criminal trial.
The majority of witnesses were not only republicans, but also members of the Trump administration.
Furthermore, any of the Trump supporters could have taken part and provided their own statement during the hearings. Of course there was another group that were subpoenaed and chose not to show up, probably for the same reason that there was no voluntary testimony. The reason for the "no shows" is that testimony would only be under oath.
No wonder so many republicans were scared off.

Rick I quit reading that article when I got to the part about where Trump was impeached and voted out of office.
Either the writer is ignorant of our system or trying to deceive. Trump served every minute of his term.
Impeachment is an indictment. The way our Constitution works, he was found not guilty, twice.
There have been three Presidents impeached in our history. Not one was removed from office. And the way the system works, it is unlikely they ever will.

Trump Declares Himself 'Clairvoyant'; Critics Wonder How He Got Election So Wrong
"A stunning revelation in Donald Trump’s vicious, grievance-packed holiday “greeting” posted on Truth Social Sunday was his declaration that he is not only “brilliant,” but “clairvoyant.”
"That shocked followers familiar with his multitude of bad predictions, like declaring that COVID would “miraculously” disappear the spring of 2020. He also mistakenly predicted that he would win the 2020 election by a bigger margin than in 2016, that Republicanswould take the House in 2020, and that his endorsed candidates would win the midterms.
"Yet, critics mocked, Trump accused President Joe Biden of being “mentally disabled” in his post.
"Some critics responding on Twitter wondered why Trump stashed classified documents at Mar-a-Lago if he could see into the future as FBI agents searched for the files at his office there.
"Others speculated that Trump does not understand the meaning of the word clairvoyant.

Even you should be smart enough to see the country is in it's biggest financial crisis since Jimmy Carter.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Dec 27, 2022, at 10:35 AM
Why are "powers of persuasion" necessary? All you need to do is look at their records, just like the voters did in 2020.
If you have deluded yourself into believing that each and every aspect of this "biggest financial crisis" is a direct result only of President Biden's actions, you're living in Schaefer's fantasy world.
Addressing this realistically, you'd recognize the lingering pandemic issues, worldwide inflation, OPEC-R limiting oil supply, Russia invading Ukraine, Chinese recalcitrance, all contributed to our current financial situation.
Under those conditions, President Biden has done what was necessary for the nation.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Dec 27, 2022, at 11:44 AM
Lingering pandemic issues? Didn’t get the memo? Ol Joe said it’s over. If it wasn’t for the it there’s a really good chance he wouldn’t be the curdled old out of date milk that’s way past due. But,hey,sacrificing about a million people just to get rid of trump.

Why are "powers of persuasion" necessary? All you need to do is look at their records, just like the voters did in 2020.
Records, you have to be deluding yourself. We were financially better off under Trump than we are under Biden. And Biden is just the fall guy. The Committee of incompetence pulling his strings are the real failures. Cutting oil production and opening the border was just the beginning of the dumb moves. Saw a smoked turkey at Schnucks yesterday $60. Last year to take home and smoke yourself, $0.29 per lb. Diesel fuel, still over $4 per gallon. It is not Trump's fault, he has been gone for 2 years now. And it is not the world's problem, it is Joe Biden's problem and he doesn't have a clue.

Leftau, I didn't know I was supposed to provide a solution. I was merely providing some facts.
But if it is a solution you are after, it is simple.
Get rid of Biden and company. He is inept even with the behind the scenes string pullers.
You try to pass off our problems as world problems.
What happened to "The Buck Stops Here"?
Oh, I know, it's my problem to expect solutions from today's Democrats.
Real Democrats like Missouri's Harry Truman no longer exist. Now what we have is a bunch of wimpy Left Wing Socialists from out west, out east and up North who cannot manage a crisis but excel in passing out hard earned taxpayer dollars to buy votes for the next election. Then try to levy the blame on the previous President and World problems.
What happened to that....
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day."
"Teach a man to fish etc." ???
Biden was handed a working economy. He broke it.
He needs to fix it and it is not Trump or anyone else's problem that he cannot.
And before you bring up Covid, he said he could fix it. Well???

I would never expect any rational information from you, reasonable thought leading to solutions is even less likely
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Dec 28, 2022, at 12:42 PM
Leftau, when it comes to solutions on the national or state political level, to even think your opion or solution, would be looked at is ludicrous. Mine either. Our only recourse is the voting booth and that is a stretch on getting anything accomplished.
Although I do believe getting rid of Joe Biden by any legal means would go a long way to fixing our country.
What is needed is a Fiscal Conservative
And Lefty, for your information, the following describes Fiscal Conservatism.
From Wilipedia.....
"Fiscal conservatism is a political and economic philosophy regarding fiscal policy and fiscal responsibility with an ideological basis in capitalism, individualism, limited government, and laissez-faire economics.[1][2] Fiscal conservatives advocate tax cuts, reduced government spending, free markets, deregulation, privatization, free trade, and minimal government debt.[3] Fiscal conservatism follows the same philosophical outlook of classical liberalism. This concept is derived from economic liberalism and can also be referred to as fiscal liberalism outside the United States.[4]"

However, I do not want to leave any doubt in your mind. It will have to be a pretty poor candidate who will not get my vote over Biden. Biden has been a mistake from the beginning. And Water Boy when it was mentioned by you early into Biden's Presidenct when his qualifications were questioned that there were other good people to back him, I knew then you must also not trust his abilities. Do not remember the wording just the thought.

Trump’s predisposition toward lies and untruth reached new heights in 2022. He does have a serious challenger in Congressman-elect Santos, whose entire background appears built on fabrications.
He’s the latest of republican/conservative politicians who are encased in the dishonesty of Trump’s big lie, and are forced to agree to it under threat of being “unfriended” by our former, twice-impeached, one term, disgraced “president.”
Fortunately, the number of dishonest republicans seems to be shrinking as more and more recognize that a Trump candidacy is a road to disaster for the former republican party.
Unfortunately, Trump may not be that easy to depose as he now raises the specter of a third party run, which could be equally as disastrous to republican hopes.
The single best option for the republicans would appear to be to cleanly “amputate” Trump and Trumpism and bear the temporary pain. Possibly in a year or so some semblance of honesty can return to their party.

These facts deserve to be retained...
“Let’s recap what the left’s Trump investigations found:”
Real world findings…
• Russia Collusion: Mueller Report found evidence of non-conspiratorial and criminal obstruction of justice. Trump’s AG intentionally misinterpreted the findings and chose not to pursue indictment.
• Impeachment I & II: The Senate served as judge and jury in both cases. In the first he was charged with bribery, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. In the second charges centered on Trump’s insurrection. As jury, bipartisan majorities found him guilty. As judge, the Senate chose not to remove him from office.
• J6 Committee: Extensive bipartisan investigations, with testimony primarily by republican Trump administration members, exposed evidence of inciting insurrection, obstruction of justice, abuse of power, seditious conspiracy, etc. All evidence and testimony has been turned over to the DOJ for more indictments.
• Tax Returns: Trump’s company has already been found guilty. His personal returns contain extensive irregularities the are currently being investigated for criminality.
• FBI’s Mar-a-Lago Raid: The legal search warrant found and confiscated large numbers of illegally stolen classified and unclassified documents. Indictments are being prepared by the DOJ.

Always asking questions but not answering:
Here’s a couple:
Do you like the recession?
Do you enjoy higher energy prices?
Do you like higher food prices?
Do you support the influx of illegals?
Do you support that “interview” with Biden and the man masquerading as woman? You know the guy with a feminine products contract?
Do you think Biden has been “used” for only one purpose and should not run or resign?
I’d ask about your opinion of the VP but no one has a good opinion of her. Mute point.
Do you support the proven serial liar occupying the White House?
And the big one…..can you answer without blaming someone else for the policies that caused the aforementioned issues?
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, Jan 2, 2023, at 7:35 PM
Numbers 1 to 3: No.
Number 4: Illegals no. Asylum seekers can legally enter the country per US law.
Number 5a: My "support" is irrelevant, but I agree if you want to learn about trans-sexual issues, you should talk to them.
Number 5b: I've never hear of the guy before, don't care what he does, but it doesn't concern me.
Number 6a: I don't believe he was "used." He ran to prevent the nation from suffering the incompetence of a second Trump term, and thankfully, succeeded.
Number 6b: I don't believe he should run again. He's served the country well.
Number 7: The performance of the VP has not been openly or seriously evaluated.

Number 9: Yes.

It is my fault that my wife and I eat, and I now pay double at the checkout stand for a week's groceries than I did in January of 2021. And of course, it is not Joe Biden's fault that diesel fuel hit better than $5 per gallon since he took office. No of course none of this is Biden's fault with his ill thought out EO's shoved down our throats immediately upon taking office, open the border, stop drilling. Any signs of success of the Trump Administration must be eliminated ASAP. Thank you, Brain Dead Joe, you got even with American for helping Trump beat Hillary Clinton.

Now Water Boy, how about we address this....
"Number 8: The only proven serial liar left the White House in disgrace in January of 2021. President Biden is not one, regardless of your personal opinion."
The man is a Serial Liar and a walking Gaff Machine.
What you need Leftau is a dose of reality! Joe Biden is beyond question a Serial Liar. If you have something to prove all of these people are wrong, Prove IT! Let us hear your evidence.
My view is the man is a nothing, a political lying machine who has done basically nothing of worth in over 50 years and you dumb Democrats elected him President.
And no it is not Trump's fault! Trump is done and Biden has the reins of government. Whatever happened on his watch is his responsibility. The buck stops at his desk, not in Iran, China or Russia. This is the United States and Joe Biden is President at this point. I believe even you stated earlier this evening he should not run again. That is about the smartest thing you have said in the last 6 years.
You may correct me if you think I misread what you said.
And Leftau, in all reality, I do not expect that you will acept these facts and admit you are wrong. It would not be in character for you to do so. I instead expect a lot of denial and double talk on your part, and that could make you a Biden clone.

"If he truly believes those stories, they're not lies."
Leftau, I made that statement to cover one issue with Trump and you tried to make a big deal of it.
Now like a 3rd grade kid you want to copycat it to cover 50 years of Biden BS. If you truly believe that in all cases Biden, you have to believe he is dumber than a box of rocks as well. Wait you might have a point there.
Personally, I truly believe that train of thought is legitimate on a selective basis. Not to cover a lifetime of deception.
But Water Boy, it is refreshing to find that you finally believe in the theory. Only you want to use it to prove Biden has been wrong for 50 years running.
You're slow but you do finally catch on, even if you still have to learn that it is used selectively not as lifetime cover.

Correction Water Boy, Jan 6 does not meet the insurrection standard. Verbalize it all you want, that was a demonstration with a minority of the participants getting out of hand.
It no more meets the standards of an insurrection than a Black Lives Matters Demonstration and march does.
And before you go attempting putting words in my mouth. Nowhere have I condoned what happened. Nor will I call it something it was not. A relative few started the violence, and some seized the moment to join them. But everyone did not participate, by far a majoruty did not.
No wan ca you condemn that total number of people and accuse them of being Inurrectionists. I do not know the number, but so far a relative few have been charged with anything.

Mr. Braswell,
As you're well aware, Oath Keepers Rhodes and Meggs are the first two to be convicted of seditious conspiracy under 18 US Code 2384.
If that's not "insurrection" what is?
You were aware of that, weren't you?

If there is any delusion Leftau it is on your part.
I built my life on thinking for myself and deluding myself on nothing Leftau.
I built a busines that i operated for 37 successful years, retiring 23 years ago. The business was operated another 18 years by a family l member who was offered a fair price for it and anticipating retirement sold it. It will celebrate 60 years of operation in 2 more months.
What have you accomplished Water Boy, that puts you in a position to talk down to me and others on here, and gives you the authority to shoot your mouth off and call others names because they don't buy into your silly bullshit.
I do not talk this way normally but I will not be talked down to by some blowhard college boy who has obviously done little to nothing through his entire career, then sets himself up as a self ordained authority.
Yeah I remember you mentioning some minor project you were on where you even got into some small town mayor's offices. Well congratulations!
No self-delusion about it Leftau, I am a realist. I know who and what I am, and who and what I am not. We all have our limitations. Being able to recognize them, is a problem with some. Seek Counceling Leftau.

Here’s some help for you, Mr. Braswell…
18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
(Oath Keepers already convicted. Proud Boys coming next.)
Insurrection
An attempt by a large group of people to take control of their country by force.
Organized opposition to authority; a conflict in which one faction tries to wrest control from another.
An act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.
The act or an instance of open revolt against civil authority or a constituted government.
Insurrection (against somebody/something) a situation in which a large group of people try to take political control of their own country with violence.
Get the connection?
More of Trump's insurrectionists (or Trump himself) could be convicted of all of the above crimes.

Just a couple of comments on your harangue….
“…that puts you in a position to talk down to me and others on here…”
Posting the truth and identifying facts is in no way “talking down.”
----- ---- --- -- -
“…call others names…”
What names? (As I recall that's your specialty.)
----- ---- --- -- -
“…sets himself up as a self ordained authority.”
I’ve done nothing of the sort. How you interpret information posted is your business.
----- ---- --- -- -
“We all have our limitations.”
Nice of you to admit it.
----- ---- --- -- -
“I am a realist.”
A realist would have no problem accepting the reality of Trump’s big lie and the truth concerning his incitement of insurrection
----- ---- --- -- -
“I built a business that I operated for 37 successful years…”
That’s well know on SO. I am sure that you were an extremely honest and successful businessman.
However, in my opinion, when it comes to political discussions and acceptance of reality, any fundamental honesty deserts you (which is putting it as polite as is manageable).

1. He Left the Democratic Party

3. They had to put up a brain dead man to run for President because he had likeability over ability..

From yesterday's VanGennip version of the January 6th insurrection...
"...that was a demonstration with a minority of the participants getting out of hand."
Claiming to be a "realist" is your privilege, fabricating your own personal reality is not your right.
So far there have been over 880 defendants facing charges, 272 charged with assault including 95 charged with use of deadly or dangerous weapons. 294 have been charged with felony obstruction of an official proceeding facing up to 20 years in prison. There have also been convictions of seditious conspiracy (which you now know equates to insurrection.)
The purpose was not to "demonstrate," but to stop the lawful certification of President Biden's election.
This is actual reality.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Jan 4, 2023, at 8:53 AM
Leftau, reality is what I said it was. Your numbers help to prove it. Where or why on who first broke the law, they were a minority of the citizens present. I saw pictures too, many just wandering around and a minority breaking the law.
You, Water Boy, like to exaggerate a situation to make things worse than they were.

Here's something to get your teeth into Leftau.
Pretty sure you will be wanting to issue a public apology to Trump being the upright zealous Democrat you are.
Leftau now that you are going to make yourself right with Trump, I really don't expect you to tie into Obama for signing the law into effect that actually helped Trump!
Don't cry though, I don't think anybody here expects you are man enough to admit you are wrong about anything, so go ahead and try to find a way to turn this around and blame Trump for passing the bill that helped him legally avoid so much taxation.
Maybe you can find somewhere that much of Obama's new wealth came from Trump payoffs.

Mr. VanGennip,
Pay attention this time. Bipartisan does not mean equal representation.

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jan 5, 2023, at 3:29 PM
Leftau, I will give you the definition of bipartisan again.
"Usage. The adjective bipartisan can refer to any political act in which both of the two major political parties agree about all or many parts of a political choice. Bipartisanship involves trying to find common ground, but there is debate whether the issues needing common ground are peripheral or central ones."
That has little to do with Pelosi's Kangaroo Committee.
Your convulted idea of bipartisanship would be drastically reworked if the circumstances were reversed.
But the facts are, absolutely nothing was legally accomplished. Somewhere I read where Pelosi cannot even legally recommend prosecution to the department of justice. So what was really the purpose. More of the Congressional harassment that went on from January 20, 2017 to present?
One more time Water Boy, there was no way, no how, that charade was bipartisan!
It was Pelosi's way or the highway!

"Surely not. I've never had a "dispised list. Why would you make this garbage up?"

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Jan 5, 2023, at 4:08 PM
Mr Lettau seems to not know or refuses to acknowledge the past of the two R’s on the committee. I used “despise” because he gets all up about the word hate. He has for years despised anyone connected to,supported,aligned with and voted in line with Trump……until.
Using that way of thinking then he surely was a Trump supporter as a Democrat.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Thu, Jan 5, 2023, at 4:47 PM
Your definition:
"...the adjective bipartisan can refer...
Right, it CAN refer...
It can also refer to the two political parties working together. (Occam's razor.)
Facts are tough on you. Simply repeating the same claims doesn't alter the truth, save your breath.

If Pelosi had kept her word to form a “9/11 style commission” there would not be this conversation. I suspect when Mafia Momma realized it really would be bipartisan she dumped that opting for what she thought would be a better option to again “git him”.

Leftau starts something, making accusations, then cannot come up with a response when Pelosi blew it, so far as creating a bipartisan committee when she rejected Republican choices for the committee. There was no compromise as called for in bipartisan political arrangements. Nancy Peloci set herself up as judge and jury on who could serve.
Leftau you can bloviate all you want but that was not a bipartisan comittee. It was a committee with a predetermined Pelosi agenda.
Leftau's earlier call to tune in and watch the results of the Pelosi Kangaroo Committee was just party line BS.
So Pelosi got what she wanted and we paid for it. Now what is she going to do with it.
A true bipartisanship arrangement calls for Pelosi to name her 6 Democrat members and McConnell to name his 6 Republicans. Pelosi's cherrypicking the Republicans was an abuse of power in a bipartisan arrangement, and if the Water Boy was half smart he would recognize it.

You and Pelosi are two of s kind in your interests here Leftau. You want Trump to be guilty if or not he is. So let's not get so sanctimonious in our reasons for keeping some Republicans off the Committee and then calling it Bipartisan when it is so obviously Partisan.

"Anything and everything that happened that day only happened because that rally was held and that's a fact . Nothing would have happened on Jan.6 , 2021 if there was no rally and that is history and that is a truth."
However it got organized, I do not know. Yes there was a rally, we all know that. And Republicans or anyone else have every much of a right to hold a rally as Black Lives Matter, or anyone else does. What no one has a right to do is get out of hand and destroy lives and property. I think the biggest thing here is that it did get out of hand. Was a it planned by a certain segment of those attending? Very likely so. Was it intended to happen by all attendees. Absolutely not! As I have said before, I have a friend who was there and his entire group boarded the bus and left at the first sound of glass breakage. They did not go there for violence and did not participate in it. Scenes I have seen before the violence started just showed people peacefully milling around.
This friend also told me there were people in the crowd that appeared to be plants in his opinion.
Not that there are any comparisons, but this is not the first time there has been violence connected with what some considered to be unfair treatment. As I mentioned earlier, Black Lives Matter happened to march and do damage more than once. And have you ever heard of the Boston Tea Party. Not that there is any direct comparison on any of them. But get a large group together and very likely you are going to end up with violence. And Let's not forget the group that took over cities and rioted. Anybody ever heard of Antifa?
Where were the Partisan Committees then?
This needs to be handled by DOJ and our Courts, not politicians of the opposite party.

A Trump "parable..."
In 2016, the republican party allowed the creation of the political equivalent of Frankenstein's monster.
Frankenstein proceeded to lurch in all directions spreading misinformation, exhibiting incompetence, wastefully compounding the national debt, and putting himself above all else. Republicans thought they could control him, but failed miserably.
Fortunately for the country, the democrats succeeded in bringing him under control in 2020 and banish him from our capital in 2021. Regrettably, in what could be only be described as a “death throes,” he molded a throng of little Frankensteins from his cult devotees, and sent them to disrupt the legal operations of our government.
The little Frankensteins, labeled sporadically as “election deniers” or “insurrectionists” or “Trumpists” or “anarchists,” degenerated into a mob devoted to inflicting more damage on the republican party.
Their latest foray was to undermine the election of the House Speaker, to weaken and commandeer his power.
In having zero interest in operating and effective government, wanting desperately to “avenge Trump,” these little Frankensteins will be firmly ousted at the close of their two years terms, or earlier.

His downplaying the seriousness of Covid-19 and ignoring public health issues and needs led to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary cases and deaths.
We have about 4.5% of the world's population, yet we led first world countries with 20 to 25% of the total numbers of cases and deaths. Did you forget how much that disrupted the economy and society?

"Will Joe Biden's home face an early morning raid..."
The answer is no for very good reasons. The few documents found were immediately turned over to the National Archives. The level of classification was not released but were clearly 7 or 8 years old so it's highly improbable that national security is a issue.
The difference is that Trump intentionally stole thousands of unclassified and classified (up to TS-SCI), claimed they were his and refused to return them until served with a search warrant.

Leftau, let's establish one thing.
Joe Biden's guilt or innocence has no bearing on Donald Trump. You are using Trump as a distraction from Biden's guilt. Actually Obama should have some guilt in as much asthis as it happened under his watch.
And Leftau, Trump was nowhere the White House when Biden stole the Documents.
Biden's term of office as VP ended when Trump and his VP were sworn in.
So your Trump BS won't wash Water Boy.
Biden committed his theft first, and like everything else the situation worsens as time progresses.
What it does is show us what a piece of work Biden is for having ridiculed Trump for doing something he himself had already done but had not been exposed yet.
But your trying to cover for the lie telling POS let's us all know what you really are.

In defense of Trump, his confession seems meaningless to you, but it will not be to the trial judge.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Jan 10, 2023, at 7:00 PM
Leftau, it is not me that is the problem. I excuse Trump for nothing. He is a big boy and can take care of himself.
The subject we are discussing is Joe Biden's alleged theft of documents four years prior to Trump having been accused of doing so
The fact that Biden's theft is just coming to light has nothing whatsoever with what Trump is accused of doing 4 years later.
So how about you pull on your big boy panties and discuss the issues instead of trying to sugar coat it with BS.
You think anyone is really buying your fake efforts to make Biden's illegal activity look pretty because of what someone ele does 4 years later. Grow Up and act your age.
Worse yet Biden is still in office and totally incompetent as a leader!

More VanGennip humor. The more stuff you make up the worse you appear.

The fact is that compared Trump's lies and especially his big lie, President Biden is a choir boy.

Sounds like I struck a nerve.
Will tell you one thing, I am quite capable of mentally seeing a timeline and seeing where Biden's infraction predated Trump's by 4 years. Could it be that Trump figured if Biden could do it. So could he in spades?

"Get back to me when the democrats stage the first insurrection after losing a fair and honest election."
Now he's off on a different tact to cover for Old Slow Joe.
Well Lefty, once more, a Democrat got that started as well. Remember AL Sore, er I mean Gore, challenged a fair and honest election and went to court.
Then there was Broom Hilda, er Hillsrt Clinton and she wasn't satisfied and tried to get an Electoral College member to change their vote.
Then along comes Trump, a former Democrat, now a Republican and he isn't satisfied with the election. Holds a rally that got out of hand, that Dims like you Water Boy like to term an insurrection to make it look even worse than it was. Each one getting worse than the previous with Trump doing it in spades.
Now we have a document issue. And anyway you slice it WaterBoy, Biden preceded Trump in this one. And was he the absolute first ever. I would bet not.
Biden raised his hand first, let him be the first to court.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Jan 11, 2023, at 7:41 AM
Gore conceded. Clinton conceded.
Neither ever claimed that the only way they could lose is if it's rigged.
Neither filed 60 or so court cases across the nation and lost conclusively.
Neither encouraged a deranged group of election deniers.
Neither incited an insurrection.

Mr Lettau learned him some new words. Why not just apples and oranges? Simplify it for all us deplorables.

-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Wed, Jan 11, 2023, at 8:58 AM
Mr. Braswell,
Since we're still on the Trump thread, keep this in mind, which doesn't align with your "simple way."
Republicans aren't guilty because they're republicans, they're guilty when they break the law and have been tried and convicted.
In Trump's case, a republican (actually even referring to him that way is an insult to all real republicans) breaking the law, as in two impeachments, an insurrection and theft of thousands classified and unclassified government documents, gets defended and excused by the other dishonest republican/conservatives.
Of course that's not right, but that's what's going on now.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Jan 11, 2023, at 9:36 AM
I’ve been meaning to ask since you have a habit of deciding who is and who isn’t an honest republican I’m interested in who or who isn’t an honest democrat.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Wed, Jan 11, 2023, at 9:46 AM
Republicans are fairly easy, the obviously dishonest ones are the election deniers and those openly supporting Trump's big lie.
You can make the call on democrats. As for Biden's stories, in my opinion, one of Trump's big lies equates to about 10,000 Uncle Frank tales.

Apolitical motivate impeachment is Trump breaking the law? Wow that's a stretch.
And WaterBoy you also always forget that an impeachment is akin to an indictment in a real court. And the fact that he was found not guilty by the equivalent jury.
Two total wastes of time in both cases along with the rest of the harassment started a l most immediately after the inauguration which proved him guilty of nothing.
PS WaterBoy, I don't believe lying under Oath was a charge against him like it was with a well known Democrat President who couldn't keep his pants zipped.

Do far you appear to be incapable of accepting Biden's thievery of government documents that he pulled off 4 years prior to Trump being accused of the same thing, but you give Biden a pass and you pound on Trump some more. Most of which is petty BS to begin with. Everybody can see where the Democrats had it in for Trump since the day he beat Hillary Clinton in the race for President. Thank God he kept that woman out of the office of the most powerful one person world wide.
A shame that he did not keep Brain Dead Biden out of the office.
So, on your point that is causing you to act like a primary school child because cannot get what you want out of me, I laugh every time I think of your discomforture.

For that matter, how much of your current, often repeated accusations can be deemed truth by you, that are no more than just that, accusations many times tainted by opinion.

You've never hit any nerve, your continuous fabrications are still irrelevant.
As for convictions, there have been none yet, primarily due to Senate republicans protecting him. In the first impeachment, republican Senators pretended that the crime was "not that serious" to warrant removal. In the second, again his guilt was not in question, but enough Senators deferred as he was already leaving office.
It is a fact that he was found guilty by bipartisan majorities in both impeachments. The reason he was found guilty is because of crimes he confessed to.

Leftau, I will start with this, Trump was not found guilty in either impeachment, that takes a 2/3 vote and the vengeance seeking Dims never had it either time. A simple majority of Democrats and a couple of now MIA Republicans cannot accomplish it. If you want to continue the debate we will be discussing the Bill Clinton impeachment as well. Even though he lied under Oath the Democrats wouldn't impeach him. And that is not a petty offense, where you tried to take it the last time.
I sincerely believe both impeachments were a hoax along with the Hillary Clinton inspired Russian Collusian BS which rhe Dims wasted years on. I also believe your entire so called truth report on Trump is BS inspired by loathing of Ttump for defeating Hillary Clinton and your very first post on him after the election is proof.. He did not raise himself to a pedestal, the voters did and before you go off on another tangent. It was done by the Electoral College representing the states and is what our system is based on. Further I think the Dimocrat Party and the voters see their mistake of the last election and are scared to run against Trump again.
Now put that in your pipe and smoke it. Once more, your so called just wanting to report the truth statement is as phony as you are Lefty. Otherwise we would see a similar Thread on Biden who has been termed Serial in his lying which you tried to deny but failed.

Lettau what's that got to do with current events such as Biden's storing Classified Documents next to his Corvette. Illegals entering the USA by the thousands every day. Biden's son Hunter and his 10% for the Big Guy transaction with China and Ukraine. The 6.5% current Inflation that has been over a year at over 6%. Just a few current events that need to be addressed....don't you think?

Of course Trump was found guilty by the Democrat majority. Only a fool would believed after he was impeached by a majority of Democrat House Members that the majority of Democrat Senators would vote any other way.

You have zero basis to make that up.
Only about 10% of classified documents are considered top secret.
The most probable classification of documents that could have remained in VP Biden's file would be something like a confidential document on an upcoming French Vice-Presidential visit dated back in 2017.
The likelihood of there having been any national security risk is about none.

As usual, Mr. VanGennip pays little attention to current events.
The legal search Trump's property at Mar-a-Lago based on a court issued search warrant revealed over 25 S, TS and TS-SCI documents with cover sheets in place. This was documented with highly circulated photographic evidence.
It's the kind of thing most people have seen, and specifically identifies the high classification level of documents that Trump stole.

And that would have what to do with what Biden stole in the way of documents? He appears to have had them scattered all over the place. In his garage for one, in a former office or two. Now his garage, that is certainly a secure top secret location.
What assurances do we have that Hunter hasn't sold some of them to the Chinese for Instance? Or, are you telling us you believe Hunter would not have had access to Joe's garage?

Since a special counsel has been appointed, it would make sense to stop the crazy speculation and let him do his job.
Here's the difference...
Biden had documents found in his records, and immediately turned them over to the National Archives.
Trump's possession of 20 to 30 boxes of documents was at first denied, then a few reluctantly released and finally had to be repossessed through a legal search warrant.
Boils down to democratic honesty and trumpist dishonesty.

In 2021 Trump leaves office as 1at in command and he takes government documents with him. All hell breaks loose and his home is invaded and documents are found.
Why has Biden's home not been raided and checked for hidden documents. What are they waiting for someone to do a better job of hiding them?

Mr. VanGennip,
You've been provided with several plausible versions of what happened and why. And you're aware of the difference between Trump's denial and obstruction and Biden's cooperation.

"the principle (attributed to William of Occam) that in explaining a thing no more assumptions should be made than are necessary. The principle is often invoked to defend reductionism or nominalism."
Leftau, I don't need any more of your "plausable" exanations to satisfy my curiosity.
What we need is facts, not silly shat like some lite green men crawled under Biden's garage door and tried to steal his corvette, dropping secret government documents in the process.
Instead of giving us wise old sayings, try following them yourself.
What we need is facts not imagined maybes.
I think Congress is preparing to get them for us.

More documents to be explained away.
Somebidy please help me, I thoght access to all of those kinds of documents had pretty limited access. How did Biden get his hands on all of these documents as merely a vice President.
Makes me wonder if he hasn't been bringing theem home in the past two years instead of 6 years ago. The plot thickens, Maybe he is bringing them home on an ongoing basis so Hunter has some bargaining chips with the Chinese.
Well SOB as Biden says.... maybe we will have Kammy to deal with yet.

"Richard A. Sauber, a special White House Counsel said that the documents were accidentally found and they were not a part of a “request or inquiry by the Archives.” "
Could someone explain why the Archives could not know these documents were missing for 6 years and are just found accidentally. Wonder how many more Presidents absconded with document and they are still laying around or in a Presidential Library somewhere to help dignify said President's existance?
Do you think old Harry had any in the trunk of his old Chevy when he and Bess drove back home from DC? I know there was some paperwork laying around from when Old Harry threatened to punch a newspaper reporter for reporting unfavorably on Margaret's Piano playing ability, I saw a copy of that once.
Then there is George Washington who never told a lie we should be fair and check em all. Would give the gubment people something to do and stop them from screwing up our country further.
On 2nd thought, let's leave Old Harry out of this mess, I kinda liked him and I think he was the last honest Democrat in existence!

Excerpts from Biden's speech later today:
I am not a crook and I know nothing of how the Classified Documents got into my office at the University of Pennsylvania, or my garage, or Jill's panties drawer. My son Hunter who is the smartest person in the world when he is not stoned out of his head found those Top Secret Documents while driving his *hore in my Corvette! Lastly I hid most of the more Secret Documents at the Think Tank (LOL) in a magazine rack in the men's room there!

Yes, but I am not dense enough to believe that the Democrats will be nearly as anxious to give Biden a through physical as they did Trump for the past 6 years and counting.
Trump is no angel, don't mistake that, but Biden is only going to be examined because the Republicans have a slight majority in the House and he is for sure no angel either. I would not put blind trust in any politican, I would rather believe a used car dealer.
Which reminds me of a very good friend who left this earth some 5 years ago. He was a used car dealer and I knew and bought from him for years. If there was an issue, he made it right. I was out of town, but my daughter told me the funeral home parking lot looked like his dealership lot. It was full of his stickers as many people bought from him because he would find what they wanted if he did not have it and he treated them fairly.
But, I have witnessed this a number of times. He knew the reputation of a used car dealer.
He would walk up to someone he met or was being introduced to by someone else and his statement went like this.....
Hi, I'm, his name, I am a used car dealer, I will lie, cheat, steal, anything to make an honest dollar. And the person he was introducing himself to would stand there with a blank look on their face, not quite knowing what the proper response should be.
I miss him!

Leftau, what would you say if I used that kind of primary school logic to describe how Trump got his documents out of there. At least Trumo had them secured and not scattered all over creation. And stored next to his Corvette no less. I presume that is an electric corvette as Trump wants to mandate everyone must go with an electric automobile.
Leftau to be able to come up with reasoning that is meaningful you have to use logic. Something that you appear to be real short on.
You can use your brand of so called grown-up reasoning until hell freezes over, but logic says your two assumptions on how Biden got those documents out of government control are pure made up BS.
I am waiting for the little green men crawling under Biden's locked garage door dropping them while trying to steal Joe's gas hog corvette explanation.
At any rate we will see how this all works out when the House calls Ole Slo Joe and others in to explain under oath what happened. Doubt if they will allow him to fumble through a bunch of notes furnished Joe by his handlers to answer their questions.

"Somebidy please help me, I thoght access to all of those kinds of documents had pretty limited access."
"Gladly. Where to start? There's so much you don't know."
Yes Leftau, unlike you, who thinks he knows everything! I know that in relation to what is out there to explore and know, I will never be able to know and absorb eveything in our universe.
To go along with that, it is my feeling that since we all have our limitations, it is wise to know and understand what those limitations are. Something that appears, from your blowing your own horn, to have escaped you. From all appearances and reading you on here you have the appearance of one who thinks they know everything.
And then there is wisdom. But forget it, there is no need in my discussing it with someone who doesn't have it.
As a man I have read somewhat but not completely I quote the following.....
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
Reinhold Niebuhr highlighted the wisdom of knowing the difference in his famous serenity prayer. Although originally longer, today it’s commonly quoted as above:
Reinhold Niebuhr, (born June 21, 1892, Wright City, Missouri, U.S.—died June 1, 1971, Stockbridge, Massachusetts)
"Similarly, 2,000 years prior, the Stoic philosopher Epictetus taught,
The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control."
Leftau, I advise you to think about the above instead of presenting yourself as such a know it all.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Jan 14, 2023, at 10:20 PM
Leftau, I am providing the following information to educate you on the raw tallent you have in the Dimocrat Party to draw from. Maybe you could contact this gentleman with the concerns about Guam and see what his theories are on how all of those files ended up in Joe Biden's possesion.
Here is something to put in your pipe and smoke it Leftau. Do you think I would be out of line to suggest maybe Ole Slo Joe left those documents there for the Chinese.

But Rick, be aware, you are in great danger of being called a "whacko right wing propaganda conspiracy theories", spreader.
All of these news stories are making the WaterBoy's job of making this look pretty, harder to do.
The thought crossed my mind as well, why are Biden's lawyers exposing him? Could be they are working overtime to hide the real facts and this is just damage control.
Perhaps the Republican House will afford Ole Slo Joe the same level of attention the Democrat House gave Trump.
And I have no problem seeing both President's get their day in court. Joe's offense took place first, let him go to court first.

What was that you said about "honest Dimocrats" a couple of days back Ully?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Jan 15, 2023, at 8:08 AM
Rick S.,
“Shouldn't there be a procedure , protocol, or oath they give not to take National Security documents out of the White House .”
There already is. Trump clearly ignored it by moving 20 or so boxes with about 300 classified to Mara-a-Lago. He further obstructed justice by first denying he had them, then only returning a portion, and it finally took a legal subpoena and a search warrant to get more of them back.
In my opinion, Biden did not knowingly remove any classified from his White House Office. So his “crime” seems to be that aides intermingled a few 7 year old classified documents of dubious security threat, with other files.
Think about it, what reason would Biden have had to “steal” several documents, hide them for 7 years so they could be found in the midst of a Trump scandal.
You don’t have to explain your dislike for Biden, but I don’t have to agree, furthermore, I’d suggest were it not for the Trump classified theft, having found a few documents would not be the same issue as it is now.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Jan 15, 2023, at 8:09 AM
“When it comes down to it all that people want is a fair and equal treatment.”
Fair and equal treatment does not mean exactly the same treatment.
Equal treatment means both are investigated in the same way.
Fair treatment means the “punishment” is contingent on the seriousness of the offense.
Stealing boxes and boxes of classified and unclassified documents is different from misfiling a few classified documents.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Jan 15, 2023, at 8:21 AM

It would be interesting to see the republican/conservative reactions if the situations were reversed.
If Biden stole thousands of documents including 300 or more classified ones, and someone on Trump's staff misplaced a few classified documents years ago, our SO conservative friends would be outraged that situations so different were treated as being the same violation.

Did President Biden claim he declassified the documents?
No because the VP doesn't have the power to do so but Trump did since he was President at the time!
Did he claim they were his?
Biden must have had thought they were his that's why he stole them!
Did he refuse to return them to the National Archives?
Only after Joe got caught with the Documents did he give them back!
Did it require a subpoena to get the documents back?
Will probably have to have one for the rest of them hidden away for potential $$$$$$$
Was a search warrant necessary to recover the documents?
Not when the FBI/DOJ is owed by Biden!
Did President Biden possess more classified documents than Trump did?
Doesn't matter Lettau Joe still had Classified Documents in his possession for at least 4 years!

You know that how Leftau? All uou know is what has been found and/or reported. They haven't sent a search team in to inspect Jill's underwear drawer yet.
And does it make uou wonder..
* Why Biden's attorneys found and reported them?
* Could it be, it gives him more time to secure or destroy them?
* Does the Keepers of these not know what they have given him that was not returned? They seemed to know in Trump's case.
* The silence at that level of government is defeating on this point.
Leftau let me clarify your response for you.
You have no damed idea how many more documents Biden has hidden.
I would suggest his attorneys may be making sure we never find out.
I would suggest that the folks in charge of secret documents should know how many documents are missing. They seemed to know in Trump's case. Why not Biden's?

We can all speculate what Trump or Biden did or didn't do so I'm just going to wait for the evidence to be proven or disproven and let the chips fall where they may. My only current concern is if Biden is himself a threat to the USA by being comprised by his and Hunter's "business" dealings with those who would be our enemies. Trump not being in power at the moment is not as a critical matter as Biden is. Time will tell and hopefully fair treatment will prevail in the Investigations! Just saying.....

It’s becoming clearer as this document saga continues it’s not just hinky it’s was a preemptive strike to avoid a possible republican takeover of both senate and house then an investigation. Still going to happen with a republican house. Who has lawyers doing the moving? Who are these lawyers anyway? Did they have clearance to even be looking through classified documents? Who else had access to the Penn/Biden Think Tank storage? Who had access to his home?
BTW-Biden Think Tank still makes me chuckle. Look up oxymoron and it’s explained with the website.

Obama is gone, not sure his EO covers the situation to this day of giving Biden authority to Declassify. That would be debatable I would think.

Mr. Braswell,
How is it that fairly questioning the credibility of a female makes one misogynistic?
For another example…
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—As critics questioned whether she knew what the Nineteenth Amendment is, Rep. Lauren Boebert stated that “the Nineteenth Amendment doesn’t exist because God gave Moses only Ten Amendments.”
The Colorado lawmaker said that people who believe that there are nineteen amendments “need to turn off their NPR and pick up the good ol’ Bible.”
“God stood up on that mountain and said, ‘Here you go, Moses, my top Ten Amendments,’ ” she said. “Where are these bozos getting the idea that there are nineteen?”
Boebert said that God gave Moses only Ten Amendments “because more than that would be hard to chisel into the tablets and whatnot,” she said.
“If you had nineteen amendments, Moses would have had to carve ten on one tablet and eight on the other,” she said.

Trump didn't start the virus and Biden didn't stop it.
Trump did the best thing possible for a politician. He worked to get government bureaucracy out of the way and let the medical world come up with vaccine in record time.
Leftau, it is obvious that all you are doing is try to take the heat off Biden.

First there was no Trump Pandemic.
To expand on this, there were a few issues leading up to the pandemic happening, like the Chinese Labratory and Faucii having cooperated with them giving them our money for research.
Then Leftau likes to come up with fables calling it a Trump Pandemic based on one dumb statement he made trying to prevent a panic. All the while he was helping facilitate the vaccines being worked on by our medical institutions by helping to get government bureaucracy out of the way.
Then along comes biden, who took the shots before being sworn in, trying to claim developement of the vacines plus starting distribution. All the while claiming he was going to stop the virus. Well the virus in different versions is still a concern but thanks to the tools developed in Trumps waning days, the virsus has been tamed although still a concern.
Ole Slo Joe keeps blowing his own horn, one day you will wake up to the "Fact" that he really discovered America years before Columbus showed up! Not withstanding the fact there were a few "dozen" people here already doing pretty well for themselves even before Biden founded it.

And it's not Trump's fualt that Biden canceled by EO the deal at the Southern border that was working, causing us to be overrun with illegals by the 10's of thousands over the past couple of years.

Good grief Leftau, what planet are you from?
Joe Biden has been the most incompetent individual to ever occupy the Oval Office.
To top it off, there are serious implications that he is into Hunter's business up to his neck. We will never know how many of those Top Secret documents he took ended up in our enemies hands.
And two years after Trump having left office you still blame him for Biden's failures.
Trump was far from perfect but head and shoulders better than Biden. Biden is nothing but a brain dead puppet with unelected Democrats pulling his strings.
It is obvious you are a Left Wing Democrat with your head squarely up their whatever, but to come off with something like that is unbelievable. At least be honest enough to admit you have a deep hatred for Trump and get on with life. It's eating you up.

Leftau if we have to get back to telling the Amercan nothing but the truth are going to have to rid ourselves of a lot of Politicians and I think Joe Biden would be near the top.
So far as Hunter Biden being convicted or indicted, no. But neither has Donald Trunk and we have listened to six years of a litany of what he was guilty of from you. Feels different when the shoe is on the other foot doesn't it Leftau? And wait until theythrow Ole Slo Joe in the mix.
It appears you are really bothered by the possibility that the new Republican House may turn the dogs loose on some Democrats. All the while Trump was in office you were cheering the Democrats on while they investigated, and investigated and investigated Trump without coming up with anything they could make stick.

Biden screwed the price of gas from Trump's $1.92 gal. (Dec. 2020) on Day One by starting his war on America's Energy Industries which was one of many of his failed Economic Policies that caused the start of Biden's Inflation from Trump's 1.4% (Dec. 2020). So it's up to Joe Biden to fix the problems that he created. All Biden has to do is to reverse everything that he changed on 1/21/21 and forward!

I really liked this statement from Leftau.....
"They're supposed to be fixing inflation, gas prices, the border."
We are talking about three different items that were not broken until Ole Slo Joe showed up and broke them. Now Leftau thinks it is the job of the new House to fix them overnight. Slow Joe and the Democrat House and Democrat Senate had 2 years to fix what Biden broke and now he expects The New House to fix Joe's mess over night.

Leftau you are so easy. If that were the case it would certainly have to applied to the 4 wasted years of Democrat investigating during the Trump years to come up with exactly nothing. Why didn't you see a problem with that? Let me name the current problem for you. You are afraid of what the House will come up with when they stick their investigative beaks into Hunter Biden's shenanagans. You are afraid of seeing Joe Biden's name in the mess.
First, I see no problem with them being able to do both, straighten out the mess Joe Biden made and investigate the smartest man Ole Slo Joe knows.
And why hasn't Biden and the Democrat Senate along with the past Democrat House straightened out Gas Prices, Inflation and the Border crisis. All the work of Dead Man Walking! You are trying to lay it in the lap of the House with it being their total responsibility.

Leftau you either have a very short memory, or a selective memory.
The Dimocrats wasted countless hours going after Trump with a phony document bought and paid for by Hilary Clinton's campaign funds. Remember the Russian Collusion non event.
In Biden's case all appearances are there, the proof is what you fear them finding. For what else are investigations held?
Right wing crazies you say. Any reasonable person with a hint of honesty about them can see something is wrong. Do you really think $50,000 per month was just rent in a $5,000 neighborhood. There was a rent receipt shown. How much more evidence do you need to realize something is going on. You are either dumber than a rock or a Leftwing nutcase to buy into that amount as pure rent.

He seems totally incapable of discerning the difference between pointing out facts and some sort of vendetta against our one-term, twice impeached, disgraced former president.
As an example of facts in the above:
It's a fact he only served one term.
It's a fact that he was twice impeached.
It's a fact that he was disgraced by his insurrection attempt.
That's not "hatred" it's just telling the truth.
If you're seriously seeking examples of hatred, check how SO conservatives refer to President Biden.

Twice impeached on Dimocrat lies
Twice found not guilty
Disgraced (Your opinion based on prejudiced reports and Connittee work. His part is still not proven)
Now start your supposing on what I said means, in your twisted mind.
* Yes Trump had his problems.
* Yes Trump had this country in decent financial condition when leaving office.
* Yes Joe Bidens inability to lead and lack of sound programs has left us a mess..
* At the Border

* With the Biden programs on Oil Production

Trump was impeached for his crimes, not democratic "lies."
He was found guilty by bipartisan majorities of Senators. The numbers did not require his removal from office.
His inciting an insurrection was disgraceful.
His spending left the country with a greater debt, and in a "recession" not in "decent condition."
His actions at the border violated US law.
Inflation was a worldwide issue, not caused by Biden.
US oil production did not change. OPEC-R decreased supply.
Republican house members ran on "fixing" problems, not investigating Hunter which is a total waste of time and money. Let the FBI do their investigation.

Leftau, I will give you some honesty. You need a new name for use on Speak Out.
It think DGRB would work. It's just the letters for your whole reason for being on here.
The Dims wasted 4 years investigating Trump and failed to convict him of anything. Why didn't they leave it to the FBI if there was reason to investigate.
With the wasted 4 years of Democratic harassing Trump we were better off financially then than we are now. And NO it is not the world that is our problem. The problem resides in DC!
I personally visited a country with an excess of 1000% inflation and we had no problems in this country. This Country is a leader not a follower.
And we are a Country of law. When you see Trump judged guilty in a Court of Law, you can shout guilty to the rooftops. Up until then it is nothing more than your opinion. When do you see it happening?
Meanwhile the Biden Bunch needs investigating to see if they are breaking the law. And with the FBI's current reputation, I would prefer Congress take a crack at it.
$50,000 per month rental between Father and Son needs to be exposed to some daylight and so long as Papa is President of the United States of America, I think it is the duty of the House to expose what appears to be happening.

Rick, I don't know if it is a better or a worse way to make the tax system more fair.
But so far as mandated taxation, as I see it we have had that for years. I was forced to pay FICA taxes when I was 15 or 16 years old, for mowing grass and painting for the Church.
Have kind of gotten used to it. The only two sure things in the USA is Death and Taxes. I am paying taxes every time I pull my wallet out if at the pumps or a checkout line and don't forget that little item at the end of the year or you will wind up at the Court House door trying to buy your house back. And then there is April 15 where since I prepared for my retirement I am paying on rental income.
You quit paying taxes when they throw dirt in your face!

What law has President Biden broken?
And what proof do you have?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Jan 21, 2023, at 6:56 PM
Doesn’t matter how a president “feels” or has an objection to a law he must still enforce it. Obviously he hasn’t. You need to read up.

So what immigration law is not being enforced?

What law has President Biden broken?

Leftau. unlike you and your yammering about all of the laws that Trump broke, I am willing to let the new House give Biden a thorough examination for law breaking. You see Leftau you think you are such a well versed expert on all laws past and present that you can without question poke sticks at Trump and pronounce him guilty of numerous offenses. I have my thoughts on a few things that Biden has done but will wait for the proof from Congress. I do know money laundering is against the law and from the looks of things and from what I read, Biden may have a problem in this area. Why don't we let him have a thorough physical based on what has been reported and just see where he lands. I do know Biden has never had a real job in his entire career and became a millionaire working as a politician. That and being honest at the same time are really hard to reconcile. I think things may come to light that may be a little disturbing to some.
Old Nancy "We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it" Pelosi isn't going to be there to do the committee stacking in this case.
And Leftau, while we are at it there is a big diffence between us. I do not pretend to be well versed in law. My field was the HVAC business, most thought I was reasonably well knowledgeable at what I was doing, and I have worked it from the ground floor to running my own business for 37 years. A business that still exists 23 years after I left it.
I know little of what you did and could care less, but I don't believe you would be the one I sought out if it was legal advice I was looking for.

Let me guess. Doesn’t know about the “Public Charge Rule” (except it’s not a rule) part of the immigration law. Either doesn’t know about it or chooses to ignore,more like violate it as Biden has done.

What's the specific violation?

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Jan 21, 2023, at 8:39 PM
On the Public Charge Rule or Regulation allowing 10's of thousands of those kinds of people in should definitely be some clue as what the specific violations are. Leftau if you don't understand that you probably are in about the same situation mentally as Biden is.
I have personal knowledge of a distant relative who finally after years of trying to obtain a permanent VISA to the US finally received it. And she had to prove she was financially secure and was told to immediately file for a Social Security number and something else I forgot what it was. I personally drove her to the offices to secure the necessary documents. This was about 2 years more or less ago. She qualified and she is personally able to support herself without government help. I think it is safe to say not 10% of those Biden is letting in qualify under the Public Charge Rule. But hey what the hell they will probably vote Democrat on their way to pick up their freebies, so that makes it all ok.
Go McCarthy, Put Biden and Co on the straight and narrow path the rest of us have to follow. I think it is safe to say that there are no exceptions to our laws for politicians and Presidents. $50,000 per month rent from your own son on a house is ridiculous and I would assume we all know that. Something smelly in DC methinks.

Mr. Schaefer,
Seems you don't read very carefully.
The title of the article also says "what we don't know."
It's filled with ambiguities such as "...photo emerged suggesting..." and "...what appeared to be..." and "...were claimed to be..."
Proof would be a $600,000 income entry on the President's tax return.
Do you have that?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Jan 22, 2023, at 8:06 AM
For the most part the public charge law exempts asylum seekers and refugees from restrictions.
And that how most immigrants are coming in legally. If republicans wanted to solve the problem (instead of using it) they'd work on comprehensive immigration reform.

Lefty, Lefty surely you jest. You want proof? Thank you Semo471 that is the same information I saw. Now Leftau wants a copy of Biden's tax return. If we could get it, I believe lack of the $600,000.00 number could be the proof needed to prove money laundering.
And Lefty, you who doesn't appear to know how to.furnidh a link and who has made all kinds of charges against various Republicans needs proof?
Now that is funny. My observation only, I think they have Ole Slo Joe by the short hairs.
Maybe Slo Joe can write a book to help pay his legal fees. He could title it How to Become a Millionaire Without a Real Job, Go Into Politics.

And Leftau, yes we need Immigration reform, but the same laws apply to people from South of us that applies to Europeans. Asylum Seeking is just a dodge being used.

Yes Leftau, the Republicans have a lot of work ahead of them. I think they can handle it if there is not too much obstruction from the Democrats who appear to have sat on their hind ends for 2 years and left things go to hell.
There is...
* Immigration Reform. Right now the Dims are using it to build a voter base.
* Inflation. Inspired by the Dims.
* The Southern Border. A Biden created mess aided by an Executive Order.
* Our Energy Crisis. Another Biden EO
* And the current ongoing Biden Scandal
Those are not necessarily in order. I believe the newly elected House can easily handle all of the above if there isn't too much resistance from the other 2/3rds of the government who have done little over the past 2 years because they have concentrated on one issue for the most part and cannot seem to do multitasking. I think we all know what the issue is they concentrated on. They spent the previous 4 years prior to the past 2 doing the same thing.

IN HITLER'S GERMANY, THEY WATCHED AS THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS
IN HITLER'S GERMANY, THEY WATCHED AS THEY CAME FOR THE GYPSIES
IN HITLER'S GERMANY, THEY WATCHED AS THEY CAME FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS
IN HITLER'S GERMANY, WHEN THEY CAME FOR THEM...IT WAS TOO LATE
The words of Martin Niemoller, German evangelical church during Nazi regime:
"They came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Socialist State, people woke up --- but it was too late.
Add these up one by one and you get a score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama
is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society.
All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place.
All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this, do an Internet search.
The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph.
Will it read as above or will it be a happier ending for most of America?
Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth.
We all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free Democratic society.
We need to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE.
Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea or Iran.
Our biggest enemy is our complacent selves.
The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves.

I don't think it is irrelevant at all Leftau. Let's look at a few facts....
* Obama was a nobody never having had a real job.
* Obama was bought and paid for by George Soros.
* Hillary was supposed to be Obama's 3rd term and Trump screwed that up
* Brain Dead Biden is now President and he doesn't have a thought of his own. Pretty much assured Obama is pulling his strings
* Soros and Obama want to fundamentally change America. Obama said so as I understand it.
My opinion America's Fundamentals are fine. Changing them is nothing but a power grab. Soros is the man behind it all, Obama is just his tool. Obama is the worst thing ever happened to our Government and Country!

Here’s Obama’s original statement, in an October 2008 campaign visit to Columbia, Mo:
"Now, Mizzou, I just have two words for you tonight: five days. Five days. After decades of broken politics in Washington, and eight years of failed policies from George W. Bush, and 21 months of a campaign that's taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
"In five days, you can turn the page on policies that put greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street before the hard work and sacrifice of folks on Main Street. In five days, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, and create new jobs, and grow this economy, so that everyone has a chance to succeed, not just the CEO, but the secretary and janitor, not just the factory owner, but the men and women on the factory floor."
What part of that don't you understand.
You're welcome, again.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Jan 22, 2023, at 7:36 PM
"When Obama ran in 2008 on a platform to 'fundamentally change America,' nobody really knew what he meant or what such an idea would mean for certain freedoms. Yet many people believed in him and took that phrase as a positive thing.
Obama was “the new guy,” he was seen as “one of us".
I’m not going to bore you with how poor Obama’s presidency was, or how much it affected the nation. If you are a reader of Human Events, quite possibly you already know as much. Nonetheless this wasn’t always the way people viewed Obama’s philosophy.
Obama was “the new guy,” he was seen as “one of us,” the one who was going to save the nation from the grips of the evil capitalistic world. The majority of the media worshipped him blindly and gave him significantly more air time than any of the other presidential candidates, including Hillary Clinton as crazy as it sounds."
*****************
And Leftau, what part of the above from the link I furnished didn't you understad.
Or is it that you only want to believe things in your own fairy tale world. Reeality means little, it's the Dims way or no way, right WaterBoy?
We all know Hillary Clinton was to be Obama's 3rd term and he was sorely disappointed when Trump won. Now he is trying to make Biden his 3rd term.
What he needs to do is get gone and stay gone. We don't need anymore of his change.
America is a great country where anybody with the will to get ahead can do so if they will work at it.

Rick S. and Mr. Braswell,
Go back in time a bit and consider what happened between the time The Affordable Care Act was envisioned and it actually passed.
Intended considerations such as “If you like your health care…” had to be reconsidered, but opponents never accepted the realities of getting the first step passed.
In any case, More than…
“Ten years ago on Christmas Eve, the Senate passed its version of Obamacare. The 2010s began with the United States taking its most significant steps toward universal health coverage in a generation.
“It ends with the country having moved closer to that goal than ever, but still falling short. There have been plenty of bumps along the way. And the debate about how best to provide affordable health care to every American is as vital as it’s ever been.
“After the Senate vote 60-39 on December 24, 2009, the first of the law’s many trials soon followed: the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and the election of Republican Scott Brown to replace him, breaking the Democratic supermajority.
“Still, the law passed, thanks to the legislative chicanery by then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and once and future Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and was signed by President Obama in early 2010. The 2010 midterms were disastrous for Democrats, but the law would persist.
“In 2012, it overcame its first existential threat at the Supreme Court, when Chief Justice John Roberts found a rationale for upholding the individual mandate and with it the rest of the law. The botched rollout of HealthCare.gov in 2014 might have damaged its reputation and provided catnip for critics, but eventually the marketplaces were up and running. Another SCOTUS case in 2015 left the law intact, once again thanks to Roberts.
“Then came the 2016 election of Donald Trump. Republicans finally had a chance to deliver on their promise to repeal and replace the health care law they hated so much. The repeal fight would consume Trump’s first year in the White House.”

Oh yes I did ask you a question, read on....
Leftau, I have never in my life had to depend on help from the likes of you. I gave you Obama in his own words speaking of fundamentally changing America. You want to stay ignorant on the facts then don't listen to it. He campaigned onchanging America and that is a fact. So here goes again and maybe listen this time,
And Leftau on your denial of Obama and his stating he would fundamentally change America, were his words good enough for you, as spoken by him.
*******************
Here is from last night....
Well big mouth here is Obama's words, maybe you will believe him, he is a Democrat you know. Maybe he was lying when he said it.
Oh really Leftau, did or did not Obama say he was going to fundamentally change the country?
I am not sure what all your gibberish was about, but above I have given you a youtube video of video saying he would fundamentally change America
Yes Leftau as I said originally he did say he would Fundamentally Change America!

Mr. VanGennip,
The "fundamental change" referred to in 2008 was to prioritize working for the needs and concerns of the vast majority of "Main Street" Americans, over working only for the interests of "Wall Street" Americans.
Why is that not the right thing to do?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Jan 24, 2023, at 7:02 AM

Leftau, first things first, you said that he did not say it, you were wrong!
2. Helping people who need help is always the right thing to do. You do not need fundamental change for that.
3. Helping able bodied people who want to ride the welfare roles and will not work is not the right thing to do. That is the Liberal Democrat way of buying votes.
4. Supporting people who will not work is not the America our forefathers envisioned. They had an, if you don't work you don't eat attitude.
Right now we have people on the unemployment roles and welfare roles while jobs go begging.
I personally sat in line at a fast food joint behind 4 other cars for 10 to 15 minutes waiting because they were short handed and they have been advertising $15 per hour starting wages. Will $15 an hour buy you a Cadillac? No but it will keep you eating until you can do better and I won't have my tax dollars going to take care of them.
Nobody was much poorer than we were growing up, but we worked every day including Sunday to feed ourselves and our animals on the farm. And we did not get welfare!
As a welfare Democrat you can advocate your vote buying giveaways but I believe it is wrong to support an able bodied individual who will not work. It destroys their feeling of self worth.
We do not need "Fundamental Change" to help people who cannot help themselves. Fundedmental Change was to create a welfare state of this country.
And you Leftau can try to belittle and criticize all you want to but you were wrong.
Obama who's very existence was questionable was able with help to hide it. If you questioned anything it was under lock and key. His records were not released as was demanded of others. Why? Soros bought and paid for him because he was useful. We now are on the 2nd Democrat President in recent history who have never had a real job.

“What is it 1 year and abt 363 & 1/2 days until he is gone?”
Guess that depends on whether or not he decides to run. Either way he’s accomplished more in 2 years than Trump ever did.
1. Passed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package to increase investment in the national network of bridges and roads, airports, public transport and national broadband internet, as well as waterways and energy systems.
2. Helped get more than 500 million life-saving COVID-19 vaccinations in the arms of Americans through the American Rescue Plan.
3. Stopped a 30-year streak of federal inaction on gun violence by signing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that created enhanced background checks, closed the “boyfriend” loophole and provided funds for youth mental health.
4. Made a $369 billion investment in climate change, the largest in American history, through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
5. Ended the longest war in American history by pulling the troops out of Afghanistan.
6. Provided $10,000 to $20,000 in college debt relief to Americans with loans who make under $125,000 a year.
7. Cut child poverty in half through the American Rescue Plan.
8. Capped prescription drug prices at $2,000 per year for seniors on Medicare through the Inflation Reduction Act.
9. Passed the COVID-19 relief deal that provided payments of up to $1,400 to many struggling U.S. citizens while supporting renters and increasing unemployment benefits.
10. Achieved historically low unemployment rates after the pandemic caused them to skyrocket.
11. Imposed a 15% minimum corporate tax on some of the largest corporations in the country, ensuring that they pay their fair share, as part of the historic Inflation Reduction Act.
12. Recommitted America to the global fight against climate change by rejoining the Paris Agreement.
13. Strengthened the NATO alliance in support of Ukraine after the Russian invasion by endorsing the inclusion of world military powers Sweden and Finland.
14. Authorized the assassination of the Al Qaeda terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri, who became head of the organization after the death of Osama bin Laden.
15. Gave Medicare the power to negotiate prescription drug prices through the Inflation Reduction Act while also reducing government health spending.
16. Held Vladimir Putin accountable for his invasion of Ukraine by imposing stiff economic sanctions.
17. Boosted the budget of the Internal Revenue Service by nearly $80 billion to reduce tax evasion and increase revenue.
18. Created more jobs in one year (6.6 million) than any other president in U.S. history.
19. Reduced healthcare premiums under the Affordable Care Act by $800 a year as part of the American Rescue Plan.
20. Signed the PACT Act to address service members’ exposure to burn pits and other toxins.
21. Signed the CHIPS and Science Act to strengthen American manufacturing and innovation.
22. Reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act through 2027.
23. Halted all federal executions after the previous administration reinstated them after a 17-year freeze.

Leftau, I see you been busy on the DNC website. Most of which is BS. I will take just one for now
The Welfare for College Graduates with a loan is one. That is the biggest travistiy of justice in ages. If you wasted 4 years or more in college and cannot earn enough to service the $10,000 to $100,000 debt you ran up, too damned bad. You wasted 4 to 6 years of your life. And people who never made it to college get to pay that debt on April 15th every year. Thank you, Joe Biden, that little trick alone would be an assurance I would never vote for him.
I will let you in on a little fact or two Leftau. I left high school with a Scholarship in hand to Rolla School of Mines but could not use it as there was no money to pay my living expense and what it did not cover. My parents could not do it and they were not handing out money right in left in that day. However, I did not let that stop me I made it on my own without the piece of paper on my wall. I am now 84 years old and still paying taxes because I invested and now earn off those investments. And if had be I could satisfy the loan these educated idiots cannot seem to handle and I have been retired for 22+ years. What is wrong with this picture Leftau. Maybe you think that is such great deal because it is going to pay off a loan for you. I don't know and I don't care but I do not believe God put me on this rock to support idiots until the day I die either. As I said I did not make it because of a lack of money, but I put two children through college and their education was paid for when they graduated. And they used their education as it was not in fine arts or some other insanity that nobody will employ you for as I gave them guidance along with the checks I wrote.
I am just as fond of other spending bills Biden proposed. ******* taxpayer dollars away appears to be a trait of being a Democrat and you Leftau fit right in the niche.

Perhaps you are on the receiving end and see it differently than I do. I had little money to waste so I used it wisely and paid as I went with schooling for me and my family. Grandkids are on same plan and 2 out of four are already graduated and living on their own, with no debt to whine about.

There's always been a distinct difference Trump claims and Biden claims.
Trump wants credit even for things that happened in spite of him. Biden is much more inclined give credit to others.
Obviously Biden administration members and Congress were partners in the accomplishments, however, Biden personally took the lead in coordinating, strengthening and uniting NATO efforts against Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
He was also instrumental in reaching bipartisan consensus on a number of bills involving infrastructure, gun safety, semi-conductor chips and veterans health.
With respect to your comment...
Of course he's not personally responsible for each accomplishment, but they occurred during his administration. I'm sure you have no objection to blaming him personally for problems or failures that took place during the psst 2 years.

Yeah like he tried to claim it was good for America to pay off student debt for those unable to do so with the education they received for the money spent.
Meanwhile the rest of us who paid for our education past high school and the education of our children, it is a slap in the face to expect us to pick up the tab via our taxes.
A citizen with a hireable education if he has worked 5 or 10 years at it should have enough money to write a check to pay off the balance.

About 4 years ago, then President Trump told his AG that Hillary was involved in and behind the Russian investigation.
Barr appointed John Durham to lead an investigation of Clinton.
(Schaefer was overjoyed, feeling that it was only time till Hillary was behind bars.)
The 4 year probe (longer than the Mueller investigation) has finally been called off after finding absolutely nothing.
Actually Durham did uncover something, the Italian government gave him some evidence of potential illegal financial dealings by Trump himself.

They want to damage you in any form, but they really want to damage me, so I can no longer go back to work for you. And I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

"HATE: Trump used his speech to portray his opponents as not just misguided but wicked and therefore suitable objects of hate. America’s 45th president said, “Despite great outside dangers, our biggest threat in this country remains the sick, sinister, and evil people from within.”
"And this: “We’re standing up against some of the most menacing forces and entrenched interests and vicious opponents our people have ever seen or confronted.” He described Democratic Representative Adam Schiff as “a sick, evil, very bad human being.” The January 6 committee, he said, is made up of “hacks and thugs.” He then made this move: “But no matter how big or powerful the corrupt radicals that we’re fighting against may be, no matter how menacing they appear, we must never forget this nation does not belong to them. This nation belongs to you, the American people.”
You're welcome Mr. Schaefer.

Leftau you are quoting Trump here I believe.
Presumably it is a complete statement this time, not just words out of a partial statement that you chose to put quotes around.
You have a tendency to do that. As even in changing a statement and putting quotes around it.
If Trump actually said that, what do you see wrong with it?

Lincoln Project exec mocks Trump's Truth Social post: Living rent free in his tiny little brain
Story by Sarah K. Burris • Yesterday 3:19 PM
"Former President Donald Trump recently went on a rant against the Republican group Club for Growth and what he believes are RINOs (Republicans in Name Only).
“If you want to see our country go to Hell even faster than its current pace, support CLUB FOR NO GROWTH,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform over the weekend. “These are RINOs and others who don’t have a clue! Similarly, the PERVERTS at the Lincoln Project are having a VERY hard time raising money to fight MAGA and America First. Don’t forget, you come after us, and we come after you!”
"Groups like the Lincoln Project were founded by so-called "Never Trumpers," Republicans who believe that the GOP is headed in the wrong direction and away from key pieces of long-held Republican policies. Their lack of fidelity to Trump consistently draws his fury and they return the favor by running ads on only channels he watches in Palm Beach, Florida simply to troll him.
Trump has spent most of Monday reposting and ranting on his personal social media site. Co-founder Rick Wilson used the opportunity to ask the rhetorical question of why Trump is still obsessed with them."

Donald Trump Is Starting to Look Completely Desperate
“Donald Trump, in his latest salvo at the Florida governor and likely future primary opponent, implied that Gov. Ron DeSantis acted inappropriately during his stint as a private school teacher in the early 2000s.
“Accusing political opponents and enemies of pedophilia, “grooming,” or other inappropriate sexual behavior, with little-to-no evidence, has become an outsized part of the conservative playbook in recent years.
“It appears to have grown out of Pizzagate and QAnon, conspiracy theories about large numbers of Democrats and Hollywood figures executing a massive pedophile ring.
“Still, it’s begun to be used by Republicans against each other. And that means Donald Trump is getting ready to sling some serious political mud.”

"Jack Smith Tightens the Screws on Donald Trump"
"Federal prosecutors investigating the alleged mishandling of classified materials recovered from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort are ramping up the criminal probe by seeking further testimony from the former president's lawyer, according to reports.
Jack Smith, the special counsel leading the classified materials investigation, is said to be attempting to get Trump attorney Evan Corcoran to speak before a grand jury by suggesting the former president may have used legal advice in furtherance of a crime, reported The New York Times and CNN.
"Prosecutors allegedly want Corcoran to answer more questions that he was previously able to avoid while using attorney-client privilege—an absolute protected privilege which keeps legal communications between a lawyer and their client confidential."

I don't disagree at all. In trouncing Trump and evicting him from the White House, President Biden has done more than enough for our country. And he's still correcting Trump's blunders.
I personally don't think he should run, primarily due to age. My opinion is that as soon Trump get drummed out of the republican race, Biden will turn the nomination process over to a new generation, any of whom defeat DeSantis or Haley.

Here's something to add to your list of favorite statistics...
"TOPLINE Other countries have a much more positive perception of the United States now that Joe Biden is in office, according to a Pew Research Center poll released Thursday which shows international opinion has rebounded significantly from the historic lows it hit under Donald Trump."
"KEY FACTS
In 12 countries surveyed both this year and last, Pew found 75% of respondents expressed confidence in Biden, compared with 17% for Trump in 2020.
"Some 62% of respondents said they now have a favorable view of the U.S., a number that was at 34% by the end of Trump’s tenure.
"The favorable ratings stem from a more positive perception of Biden’s leadership abilities and his policies, the polling shows.
"A median of 77% described Biden as well-qualified to be president versus 16% who felt this way about Trump.
"Meanwhile, a median of 89% across 16 countries surveyed by Pew approved of the U.S. rejoining the World Health Organization and 85% supported the U.S. rejoining the Paris climate agreement."
"Pew deemed the boost in favorability from 2020 to 2021 one of the U.S.’s “steepest recoveries in years,” noting that ratings of the U.S. in most countries were “at or near” historic lows last summer."

How The World’s Opinion Of America Has Changed From Trump To Biden
If you were upset that Biden's worldwide approval is so much better than Trump's, you probably should skip the next paragraph.
"This is not the first time international opinion of the U.S. has experienced fluctuation. Pew highlights that presidential transitions have had a major impact on overall attitudes toward the U.S. over the past two decades. “When Barack Obama took office in 2009, ratings improved in many nations compared with what they had been during George W. Bush’s administration, and when Trump entered the White House in 2017, ratings declined sharply,” Pew said in an analysis of its polling. Surveys throughout Trump’s presidency tied his global popularity to his leadership style, which majorities found to be “arrogant, intolerant and dangerous,” as well as some of his policies, including his withdrawal from climate change agreements and the Iran nuclear deal."

Maybe it was when he pulled out of the Iran deal to allow them to start going after a nuclear bomb to threaten Israeli and American citizens?

I’m amazed at how few people realize the records Trump set:
• First President in history to serve a full term and increase the deficit every year he was in office.
• First President in history to maintain a debt to GDP ratio over 100% for his entire term.
• Highest annual budget deficit.
• Most added to the national debt in a single term.
• Most new unemployment claims.
• Largest single day point drop in the history of the Dow.
• First President in almost a century to lose jobs in his first term.
• First major party candidate in half a century to lose the popular vote twice.
• Longest government shutdown in history (and he did that while his own party controlled both chambers of Congress).
• First President in the history of approval ratings to maintain a net negative approval rating for his entire term.
• First President to be impeached twice.
• First President to have bipartisan support for his conviction after impeachment (which happened both times).
• Most indictments, guilty pleas, and criminal convictions of members of an administration.
And again, that’s just a few of the records!

Reporters on the scene reported that was the first sirens in 4 days and only started as the 2 fake leaders were taking applause from the serfs assembled for the occasion!

"...give a link to their claims."
There a great many things that are common knowledge...
Grass is green. The sky is blue. Ice is cold. Water is wet. The sun rises in the east.
And our one-term, twice impeached, disgraced former president had few significant accomplishments.
Those types of facts don't require links or evidence.

Here are a few facts that are "banned" in Schaefer's fantasy world...
"And again, that’s just a few of the records! There are so many more things he accomplished! He flatlined a strong economy even before the pandemic. He wasted millions on golfing (with much of that going back to into his own pockets). He wasted millions more rebranding part of the Air Force to look like Star Trek cosplayers.
He wasted billions more on an idiotic vanity wall that’s already falling over. He told tens of thousands of lies. He violated the Emoluments Clause and the Hatch Act more times than I can remember. Plus he sabotaged our operations in Afghanistan, sabotaged gas prices with an idiotic deal with OPEC to create a global oil shortage, forgot what country he bombed at least once, tweeted a classified a photo, and he committed a war crime by ordering the assassination of an Iranian general in violation of international treaties."

That make it clearer for you.

"It's likely..."
That introductory phrase clearly indicates speculation on my part.
It's my opinion that autocratic dictators such as Putin and accomplices would have relished the chance to celebrate the conclusion victorious year in Kyiv.
Thankfully, due to President Biden, the US military and the full support of NATO members, Ukraine was able to stand up to the Russian invasion and push back on all fronts.
That paragraph is true.

Problem as is see it, so many of your Democratic facts are just "Stories"! And I have mentioned some of those to you in the past, so don't try to assign me the task of going back and finding what I already pointed out. I don't have the time for it. I will just continue to call out your so called "facts" as the "Stories" some of them are.
And please don't get the wrong idea, the "story" as you defined it regarding Biden's "Well SOB" statement is what I am referring to when I put "Storie" or "Stories" in quotes. From all appearaces you have two different standards for non truths. If Trump utters it, it is a "Lie". If Biden does so it is a "Story"

You still, after all these years, have failed to master the art of paying attention.

The truth is that the Ukraine Parliament did not fire Shokin within Biden's six hour time frame. In fact they fired him much later for reasons unrelated to Biden's visit.

Not sure what your take is on VP Biden's lying about his 6 hour threat.
My opinion is that to Biden, the gist of the event that makes it a "good story," is that Shokin had to be fired within 6 hours, or Ukraine wouldn't get the money. Then the "punch line of the story was him saying, "well SOB, they fired him."
About 2 years later in telling what happened, the sequence of events was lied about by Biden to make the story better.
The strangest part of the entire episode is that now, republicans want to interpret his lie as the truth.

Leftau, in the past you have told us Biden did not influence the firing because it was not done in 6 hours. I see plenty of articles saying Biden coerced the firing, nobody but you mentioned the 6 hours and since he was not fired in six hours Ole Slo Joe didn't have anything to do with it.
You have said many times that others wanted him fired and that Biden did not cause it because it did not happen in 6 hours. Noe even you is calling Biden's Bragging session a Lie where it was just a "Story" a few weeks ago.
Please tell me where your six hour time frame comes from, where the Prosecuter is fired or they don't get the money. And there I hear numbers from 1 Billion to 20 Billion.

The fact remains that Shokin did not get fired in the 6 hour time frame.
What part of that is untrue?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Feb 27, 2023, at 4:04 PM
"What part of that is untrue?" you say WaterBoy
Apparently the Six Hour Time Frame since you cannot come up with it and the only reference I have seen is what you are now calling Biden's Lie.
Another question, if you recognize it as a lie, then why are you maintaining that the Prosecutor did not get fired in this Six Hour Time Frame?
I am sure you can invent a suitable "FACT" to satisfy my curiosity!
I have other things to do, so I will wait and ask you again in the morning. If you haven't invented a "FACT" to prove there was a Six Hour Time Frame for him being fired by then, I can ask again tomorrow afternoon and so on.

Mr. Braswell,
I'm guessing that you don't have your own "version" but will accept whatever Mr. VanGennip believes.
That's your privilege, but has nothing to do with Biden lying, which should make you happy.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Feb 27, 2023, at 8:11 PM
DA, you will have to overlook Leftau, because he cannot come up with the Six Hour Time Frame he says Shokin had to be fired in. So he is taking his frustrations out on you.
Any luck yet on finding the reference to the Six Hour Time Frame? You could always fall back on Joey's "Storey", but then you have called that a "Lie"
Sooner or later you may learn Leftau when you put your mouth in operation before you check for "FACTS" you run into problems.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Feb 27, 2023, at 8:32 PM
Leftau, I will quit asking when you admit you cannot find a reference to it so maybe it only exists in Ole Slo Joe's "Storey".
But here is a little more information for you to study.

Since it was at a Black History Month event, I'd say it was self-deprecating humor. From what I read, it was followed by laughter and applause. I really don't think it was taken seriously and should not have been. At least I don't take it seriously.
It's self-deprecating and exaggeration coupled with "role reversal" and apparently the audience got it, because they laughed, and I don't anyone in the room took it seriously. I don't know how large the crowd was, but I'd guess that there were members that had their own recollections of "black boys" being called stupid, which is my opinion on the role reversal humor.

Therefore I pay taxes and therfore I have to gather up the information my CPA daughter requires of me. And I have to file as a Company and as an Individual.
So no, I am not keeping up with every thieving politician in America. Further. I have 5 part time caregivers for an ailing wife that I employ and pay taxes and file paperwork on.
Had one darling apply. I think she was a Democrat. She insisted on being paid in cash because she did not want to pay taxes. She was told to not bother interviewing. I still pay taxes, so can she.

No one expects you to keep "...track of everything."
However, when the owner of the entire Fox empire goes public and admits that his most popular hosts have been knowingly lying to their audiences, claiming that the election was stolen from Trump, for over 2 years, you probably should have noticed that.

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Mar 1, 2023, at 9:43 AM
I agree that he should not run, specifically due to his age. This would be a major factor if the republicans come to their senses and dump Trump, and nominate a younger candidate.

"Joe Biden is a one and done , nobody in their right mind will vote Biden 2024."
My opinion, he showed what he was prior to 2020. Nobody in their right mind voted for him then
Trump was not my favorite from the git go, but we were better off with him. The current mess we are in is a direct result of Presidential Policies. I am in need of a transfer switch to connect a generator to my building. We think we have one located but the cost is in excess of what I paid for my first house. Talked to a friend in Ohio, he said let me check an Electrical Supplier here that hA been in business over 60 years. He did and called back. They said they cannot help us. They cannot get anything on a timely basis. They have had meter bases for wiring houses on backorder for 1 1/2 years.
What a mess this country is in. A week's groceries for two people with almost no meat purchased is over $200.00.

Valid information or or news that dismayed him became "fake news."

Bought a new truck this weekend. It'll run on hydrogen, gasoline, or E85.
Had to go back to the dealer yesterday because I couldn't get the radio to work.
The service technician explained that the radio was voice-activated.
“Nelson,” the technician said to the radio.
The radio replied, “Ricky or Willie?”
“Willie” he continued, and “On The Road Again” flowed from the speakers.
Then he said, “Ray Charles,” and in an instant “Georgia On My Mind” replaced Willie Nelson.
I drove away so happy, and for the next few days every time I'd say, “Beethoven” I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, “Beatles” I'd get one of their awesome songs.
Well, yesterday, this woman ran a red light and nearly smashed into my new truck, but luckily I swerved in time to avoid her. I yelled at her, “Crazy *****!”
The radio replied, “Hillary, Maxine, Kamala, Warren, Ocasio, or Pelosi?”
- GOD, I love this truck!

That's clearly not the case. His crimes that led to impeachments were whitewashed by republican Senators who put country last and Trump first.

Leftau, you are so obsessed with Trump it is pathetic.
You see crimes everywhere but no indictments by law enforcement. Yes his political enemies tried the impeachment process using plenty of lies. But there were honest senators around to stop the get rid of Trump movement that started with his inauguration using a phony study obtained by Hillary Clinton with campaign funds.
There are issues with most politicians reaching DC. Trump's biggest success was stopping Hillary Clinton from becoming President and America owes him a debt of gratitude for that. But it earned him the hatred of the radical Left in the Democrat Party.
Leftau speaks of crimes, crimes and more crimes, but he has not been indicted on anything. I think they are afraid to indict him because he will take many with him.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Mar 5, 2023, at 8:13 AM
Another current consequence of the Trump crime spree is the deep division in the republican party, and Trump's losing ground.
"A raft of new polls shows former President Trump is losing juice among core Republican voters — a rare but unmistakable drop in base support that would jeopardize his 2024 comeback bid.
"Why it matters: Trump famously boasted in 2016 that he “could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” Over the past seven years, Trump’s iron grip on the GOP base led many political observers to conclude he may have been right.
"Driving the news: A new USA Today/Suffolk poll found Trump’s favorability among Republicans dropped from 75% in October to 64% in December — below the 70% threshold generally viewed as a Mendoza line for support within a candidate’s own party."
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Mar 5, 2023, at 8:35 AM
Trump's support in the republican party dropping to 64% or below means that (given that about 30% of the electorate is republican) he has the potential to get less than 20% of the popular vote.
No matter how it's spun by republicans/conservatives, it's bad news for their party and good news for any democratic candidate.

Today there are plenty of normal republicans that have to recall that during Trump's second impeachment, it would have taken only 2 or 3 Senators to vote their conscience, put country before party, and convict him.
Had that happened, the republican party could have been skating to a possible presidential victory in 2024 rather than a sure loss again.

Leftau, Trump has been gone from the Presidency for over two years yet your venom and hatred for him has continued unabated daily.
From what I read the Democrats are having a few issues of their own over the crime bill.
America has bigger issues right now with crime in their inner cities, many of which have do nothing Democrat leadership. And it is spreading to the suburbs thanks to the Interstate Highway system that allows them to make a 20 or 30 minute drive, commit a crime and run for cover. There was a lady shot on a Schnucks parking lot here two nights ago. It is getting to be unsafe to drive through North St Louis on I 70 because you may get hit with a Stray bullet. And the catch and release program there caused a 17 year old Tennessee girl to lose both of her legs due to one of these perps. St. Louis is designated the most dangerous in the country to visit. And the Democrats want to go soft on crime because due to their welfare programs that is where a lot of the Democrat base resides.

-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Sun, Mar 5, 2023, at 3:48 PM
Tell you what Mr. Schaefer, why don't you explain to everyone, exactly how President Biden caused inflation.
Here's some help....
He was personally responsible for the worldwide covid-19 pandemic. Nope he wasn't.
His advice to Americans resulted in the US having 20 to 25% of the world's cases and deaths with less than 5% of the world's population. Nope, that's not it.
He personally caused supply chain disruption across the globe. Nope, that's not true.
President Biden forced the Saudi's to decrease the oil supply to increase gas prices. Nope, that's not right.
So what did he do to cause worldwide inflation?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Mar 5, 2023, at 4:21 PM
Lettau, I'm not saying World wide Inflation that's what Joey and his little sheep likes to use as an excuse....I'm only interested in the USA Inflation which was 1.4% on 1/19/21 under Trump and then it started up in Feb. 2021 and hasn't stopped since. BTW, the increases started before the Russian/ Ukraine War so don't try to use that excuse either! Listen carefully Lettau because I'm not repeating it since you seem to have a comprehensive problem. Biden on Day One started his War on the American Oil/Energy Industries which caused the price of gas and diesel fuel to start increasing at record prices. Everyone except the Slow Biden and his Administration knows that the USA economy is Energy driven and if oil/gas goes up, most everything else will go up as a result. Now that's as simple as I can make it for you. There's a thing that's called the internet that can help you to understand more or find a neighbor kid to explain it to you. Once again it's Biden fault due to his nonsmart Economic policies that has put a hardship on ALL Americans. Now then school is out for the day!

I am certain that Mr. Braswell understands that the covid-19 vaccine was developed during the Trump administration. (Whether that was because of him or in spite of him is an open question.)
Likewise I'd suggest that Mr. Braswell is aware that the vaccine distribution was carried out at "warp speed" during the Biden administration.
And that after the 2020 election Trump's primary concern was not getting the vaccine to Americans, but contesting the fair, honest and legal election.

Leftau you may suggest all you want, but distribution had already started. Proof Biden took it. And if Trump had not got government out of the way so the Pharmaceutical Industry could develope the vaccines at warp speed there would have been no vaccines for Glory grabbing Democrats to claim and distribute.
And speaking of failures, a medication my wife needs is in short supply I was told an hour or so ago. Thank you Biden for paying Americans to sit on their *** while being sent portions of my taxes. She has a 5 day supply left.

Mr. Braswell,
There's little reason for you act like some SO conservatives acquaintances by ignoring commonly held information.
As for prevention and curing covid, there are numerous anti-viral compounds that work well. That after vaccination already protects over 2/3's of Americans.
The pandemic was essentially over when that occurred. I have no concern as to when Biden said it was. What was left was a "pandemic of the unvaccinated."
How some could risk dying of covid rather than taking a simple shot is very difficult to comprehend.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Mar 6, 2023, at 5:55 PM
Apparently you ignored the quotes around "warp speed." Its use in that context was sarcasm.
No credit was taken from the previous administration. It was the scientific and medical community that made it work. And the government was also involved through the CDC, USAMIID, NIH and even WHO. These agencies did not delay Warp Speed, they enhanced the effort.

And he never mentioned that more have died under Bidens “watch” even after he said get the shot you can’t get Covid. Changing the meaning of “vaccine” does not make it a “vaccine”.

The time period prior to Jan 20, 2021 belongs to Trump.
During the time period after Jan 20, 2021, President Biden very strongly encouraged all Americans to get vaccinated.

Mr. Schaefer,
Back in Schaefer's fantasy world you can claim...
"My numbers of Biden failures vs Trump's triumphs..."
The problem is your suggestion that Trump was personally responsible for your numbers, and that Biden is personally to blame for those you create.
You also conveniently ignore Trump's gross mishandling of Covid, the stagnation of economic growth, your miscalculation of covid numbers, the fact that we are no more or less oil independent that ever, your illusionary claim that Trump ever put America before Trump, and the fact that Biden has done more for average Americans than Trump ever did.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Mar 8, 2023, at 1:44 PM
Here's some old news for your use...
The five epic failures of the contemporary United States under the Trump regime are:
1. Out-of-control U.S. fiscal and monetary policies
2. The rise of the police state
3. An inadequate and ineffective health care system
4. A rapidly degrading environment and
5. A deteriorating infrastructure.
Failure 6 Shredding democracy
These five epic failures are bad enough. But they would exclude one more characteristic of developing countries that actually represents the Trump Administration's biggest failure — or rather deliberate act of brazenness: It is Donald Trump's assault on democracy itself.
The fact is that the President seeks to put in place a form of government that is no longer anchored in the basic principles of democracy. It has become detached from the tenets that shape duly elected governments in other developed nations.
And clearly number 6 was reemphasized during the January 6th insurrection attempt.

"That's the last four years, we're pretending we've got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it's been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn't really an upside to Trump."

Here's some more truth about Trump.
"That's the last four years, we're pretending we've got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it's been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn't really an upside to Trump."
So says the famous conservative, Tucker Carlson, who also said about Trump, "I hate him passionately."
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Mar 8, 2023, at 5:38 PM
Tucker Carlson may or may not have said that I do not know because I haven't seen his show in some time. However, if he does hate Trump passionately, I daresay it is only a fraction of the hate held for Trump by our own Trump hating Poster right here on Speak Out!

Leftau half of America have chanted "Let's go Brandon".
And the other perhaps it was a bit too descriptive. Would you like Work of Art or WOA as a better description?
Let me sum up Joe Biden in just a few words. Joe Biden was a horrible mistake, not only for America's sake but for his own sake. The man is brain dead, not through any fault of his own, but due to a deadly disease any one of us could end up with some day. Putting him in the position he is in was a cruel mistake as it causes him to embarrass himself and our country. Anybody with a shred of a brain can recognize that he is not running this country, he is being handled and told what to do next by said handlers, that should be obvious to anyone.
But to put him on a pedestal as a figure of virtue out of the past is just as wrong. You do not become a multimillionaire by being an honest politician with only a government salary. We don't pay those kinds of wages.
You may take that for what it is worth, I could care less. But his mistakes will continue to be pointed out by me and others until he is done and out of here.
But lest you go away patting yourself on the back for your repeated accusations of crimes committed that have never been judged by anyone but ourself and the insults paid myself and other Conservatives on here constantly, simply because we do not agree with your Liberal Leftist Democrat philosophy and agenda! They will not be overlooked.

Mr. VanGennip,
There is no doubt in the minds of American voters who was the better individual to be president.
All of your imaginary complaints and phoney charges come to nothing.
The only, minor concession I'd make is that our one-term, twice impeached, disgraced former president set such a low bar for competence that makes it easy for President Biden to look good.
Your conspiracy theories about "brain dead" and having "handlers" are even more absurd than your January 6th conclusions.
Once again you're right there in your "don't confuse me with the facts, I've already made up my mind" mode.

Leftau don't even go there on competency. The man is to be pitied. He cannot walk and chew gum at the same time. What is this, the third time he has fallen up the steps boarding Air Force One.
I preferred the Trump Economy to this mess. We finally got my wife's prescription filled after having to scour the St. Louis Region to find the needed medication and then to fill the prescription ordered by her doctor, they gave us 60 of the 90 pills they had on hand, a 30 day supply. What will we have to look forward to 30 days from now. Biden continues with his "successes" he is going to turn us into a third world country.
Nobody wants to work. Help work signs everywhere you go and now we cannot find prescription drugs. Never had this under Trump.

Leftau, I didn't know I had made any conclusions so fars as Jan 6 goes. I made some comments and I would like to see a genuine Committee study of it rather than some joke like Pelosi's Kangaroo Committee. With that there was no need of wasting time, the conclusion could have been written when crooked

That is precisely the kind of thinking that got us this present "work of art" or "WOA" if you will.

What is not needed is just a man or woman that can win over the opposing party, from either side. Wnat is needed is a man or woman who can manage this country without total committee intput.
Wake up America and see what you got for your likeable politician as a President and use your head in electing a President next go around. The Democrats pulled off that little farce on you last time, don't let it happen again. Make sure the man you elect can lead as well as be kiss *** nice.

Praise is for what he's accomplished, in addition to getting Trump out of the White House.
The issue now is letting a next generation take over, which is of course related to his age.
I'm certain that he could easily beat Trump again, but it would be much more competitive if the republicans dumped Trump.

Tax cuts for the wealthy. nothing comparable for the middle class.

Tremendous economic crash with Covid.
Spiking unemployment.
America was not respected by allies and enemies.
NATO was disparaged by Trump.
Handling of Covid pandemic was pathetic (one guy from China.)
US deaths and case at 20-25% while we have about 4.5% of the world's population.
No significant legislation and no bipartisan cooperation.
"Lost" elections in 2018, 2020, 2022.

It is hard to give big tax breaks to people paying minimal taxes. The people with the money are the ones doing the hiring in this country. Middle class do hire a small percentage of the people who are employed in this country and poor people employ nobody.

Rick I have never excused the "relative" few bad actors on Jan 6 compared to the group that was there but to portray it as the only time in history a crowd has a number of nut cases that cross the line is dishonest as well.

"...did Carlson lie..."
Probably, since he normally does.
I don't know exactly what he said while showing "peaceful protesters," but if he said that what he showed, was all that happened, yes, he lied.
The truth was shown on TV by the January 6th committee. Again, if the facts upset you, you probably need to get over it.
What else was false? Since he's a proven liar (reference his claims of election fraud when none of any significance existed), I'd guess that did not explain that the "peaceful protesters" shown were actually criminal trespassers, who had entered the Capital only after a massive break in, preceded by a pitched battle with Capital Police who were lawfully attempting to prevent the entry of "insurgents" bent on disrupting Congressional sessions.

Mr. Braswell,
"...several NATO members choose not to pay their monetary obligations?"
That's not really the case, in spite of what Trump claimed.
NATO members have several military obligations of membership.
They are required to maintain certain committed forces in a specified degree of readiness.
Various types of infrastructure have to be maintained for use by NATO forces.
Members pay into the Common Fund which supports Headquarters and Command Structures, some training and research. All members are paid up.
Individual members are committed to spend a minumum of 2% of their national budgets on defense. This target is to be met by 2024, therefore no nations are in arrears.
This last fact is something that Trump never understood. Another aspect of NATO funding is that Putin's invasion of Ukraine has added to NATO national defense spending and is to add Sweden and Finland as menbers.

Nobody that I know approved of what happened, but Carlson showed clearly it was not the first and I doubt it will be the last demonstration gone bad. Now if you are so narrow that you say only the issue counts then so be it. That reflects on you and your agenda!

Rick S.,
The 2% spending has been a target all along. Again it's not funding that's paid to NATO, it's money that individual nations spend on their own militaries. Member countries are being hindered in meeting the target by worldwide inflation, the pandemic and the Russian attack on Ukraine.
Russian aggression also has the opposit effect in promoting more defense spending.
Even now negotiations are underway to increase the target.
Next years target may not be met by some nations, but in the event of an actual attack by Putin, defense could be immediately ramped up. So neither you nor SO conservatives have anything to be worried about.

Rick, I agree but there are those who only want to see a part of the problem in a political game of he did it and so all are guilty while looking at the other side of the coin and nobody is guilty.
While violence is not the answer in these kinds of situations, get a crowd together and there is always a certain minority who are going to create a problem in an emotionally charged situation.
The same can be said of taking government owned papers out of the office with you. Lots of noise and Trump is considered guilty as hell. On the other hand Biden has been pilfering government papers since his Senate days and what to you hear from the noisey side.... Silence.

Lefftau you are doing a beautiful job of illustating Tucker Carlson's point. You only show pictures of the mayhem from a relative few. I have no saved pictures. But in the media shots I saw shortly after January 6, most of the people were milling around peacefully. Nobody is disputing that there was a relatively (to the size of the gathering) few that were trouble makers.
If you were being honest, which it is obvious you are not by what you are showing, you would show the whole picture. To see a true picture you need to see the whole thing, not just the shots of a few. Nobody denies that some got out of line, all did not and cannot be branded as such as you obviously want to do. Tells a lot about you.

Precisely! I know a man who went by bus to be a part of the gathering. He and his entire group left at the first sound of glass breaking and got back on the bus for Lincoln County, Missouri. Is he guilty also because a few back actors, again Leftau, as compared to the entire crowd, got out of hand? I don't think so.

Clearly, the guy you know that left at the "sound of glass breaking" is probably not guilty of anything, unless he trespassed on closed Capital gronds.
But what does "the sound of glass breaking" tell you about the criminal rioters that didn't leave.
Surely you won't claim they were "invited in" at any time.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Mar 12, 2023, at 4:01 PM
"But what does "the sound of glass breaking" tell you about the criminal rioters that didn't leave."
What it tells me Leftau is those who were not breaking and entering but merely providing a prescense as support could have used better judgement as they were not involved in the criminal activity. Which is what you are trying to paint all who attended with. As you have been told, but do not seem to have the mental acuity to grasp, you cannot paint all of the people on hand with the same brush.
And that little trick of yours, of showing only the illegal activity that happened while totally ignoring those merely mingling around to paint a truly accurate picture. That reflects on you and anyone attempting to do so. Honesty still is the only respectable policy.

Sorry, Mr. VanGennip, were you to actually look at the photos in the 8:48 link, the fourth one depicts the rioters battling the Capital Police for control of the temporary fencing which established the limits for legal demonstrations.
Those that respected those limits were legal protestors. Those that didn't, were and still are criminals.
That shouldn't be hard to comprehend h a . Unfortunately, those "mingling around " inside the Capital are criminals.
Try honesty for a change.

Lettau, 574 Democratic approved (no denouncement means approval) that caused 12 deaths, millions of damage to private owned businesses, hundreds of police officers injuries with those get out of jail free cards was an assault on America which has been overlooked by the Biased MSM and the DNC!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Sun, Mar 12, 2023, at 6:35 PM
"Unfortunately, those "mingling around " inside the Capital are criminals."
Leftau, those I referred to mingling around were outdoors. Nice try but no cigar water boy. I have never escused those who broke and entered. But the fact remains, of the overall people on site, most were among them those not breaking and entering. You like your Dishonest Democrat Leadership have done their best to try and portray the relative few compared to the balance who were just there. Tucker Carlson spilled the beans on the dishonest of those who chose to only show the worst and try to categorize all in the same lot. Just like the crooked Pelosi Commission. Loaded it with anti-Trump people to get the desired results. I have no problem with putting blame where it truly belongs. But those people were American Citizens, just because they happened to be mostly if not all Republican citizens does not give the current Democrat leadership the right to ride rough shod over those who were there peacefully demonstrating. Yes, I know some obviously were not. Carlson showed the dishonesty of current leadership, and he is to be applauded for doing so. And no I do not watch Carlson nightly on TV. In fact it has been months since I have sat down and watched or even listened to his program.
My policy Leftau, show it all or don't show it at all!
A true American does not operate with strictly an agenda. Fairness and honesty should be the guiding principle.
And Leftau, your constant chanting, they're criminals is a laugh. Your Democrat President has done worse than they are accused of. And just to think, Americans have to pay for Secret Service to guard that crooked son of his.

DeSantis called the war in Ukraine a "territorial dispute."
Suppose you explain how a "territorial dispute" results in the deaths of thousands of soldiers, the murder of thousands of women and children, the destruction of schools, hospitals, apartments, through indiscriminate bombing, massive attacks on utilities and infrastructure, countless incidents of documented war crimes, and terrorizing of civilian communities.
All this by an intentional and unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation by Putin.
Do you truly believe that the US has no vital interest in saving Ukraine from from annilation.
It's blatantly obvious that if Russia quits fighting, there's no war, but if Ukraine quits fighting there's will be no Ukraine.

Leftau, I applaude Ukraine and the rest of the States if you will of the USSR. They managed to escape during the Totalitarian breakup, right or wrong. It has been Russia's intent to bring them back under their thumb. It is a Territorial dispute, how can you say it is not.
You will remember we had a little "territorial" disagreement over here 150 or so years ago. It lasted for about 5 years. I do not believe either Trump or DeSantis has communistic leanings. Whomever is the survivor, we will have to deal with it.
I do believe Leftau, that you are laying the ground work for your go after DeSantis version of this little charade you have going with the Trump farce. You have carried this one on for going on 7 years now.
How many people do you feel you have converted to your cockamamie way of thinking. I know of none.

Leftau in case you are unaware of history the Civil War had a couple of issues. One of the issues was a group of states leaving the union and being forced back into it.
It appears there was a similar issue within the USSR.
Do I approve of Communism and Putin invading the Eukrane to force them back in? Absolutely not!! If you had any comprehension left you would realize that from past postings. You Democrats have tried to tie Trump to being Pro Russia so far as to having purchased a phony report with campaign funds and spending the better part of 4 years wasting our resiurces. You know it, so does the rest of the country. Now you start in on DeSantis.

It was formed within days or hours of Trump being announced the winner in 2016. And thinking people who like to look at all sides of a situation have been subjected to your hateful, spiteful and many times lying presentation of your BS for what seems like forever.

LeftauIf it is not a Territorial dispute, what would you like to call it. The Ukrane was a territory within the USSR, The USSR was dissolved in 1991. And the Ukrane became independent. Now Russia wants to bring that territory back into the Union.
Why would you not think it is a Territorial Dispute with the Ukrane wanting to keep their relatively new found freedom and Russia wanting them back under their thump.
Perhaps you could give us a better definition of what it is about.
There is some in Russia thinks it needs to be runited, there are those in Ukrane who do not want to go back.
It is the greed for power on the part of the Russians. But it still is Territorial.

What is the territory of a state?
In addition to land, territory includes adjacent waters and associated airspace. A state’s territorial sea, where it is sovereign, extends 19 kilometers (12 miles) into the sea. Another 19 kilometers (12 miles) out comprises a contiguous zone for sovereign states, in which some control can be exercised (usually police and public-safety functions).

Ukrainian history goes back to the 10th century, and has existed in various forms since then.
Putin has no right to unilaterally invade Ukraine, particularly not to carpet bomb cities and murder civilians. I don't see that as "OK" and would not expect any American to approve of it, or stand by observe the war crimes and do nothing.

Just who have you found that stated he did Leftau?
All I am saying is Russia is intent on repopulating the old USSR and unless we are up to going to war with Russia, how are we to stop him. I certainly do not like the thought of Russia pulling all of those countries into the USSR, what to do short or going to war is going to solve the problem? I do not think that prospect is very attrative to the American citizens.
Maybe Joe could tell them if they don't get out they won't recieve the money.

The whole discussion with just one more of your Anti Trump rants and then you tried to pull Desantis into it as well. BS is just that and has no place in honest discussions.

Leftau, I believe you have tried to make things look like something they are not. I do not believe he used the word "simple" at all in his statement.
"Telling the truth about Trump is all that's been done. As for DeSantis, he's the one that opened his mouth and was quoted."
Ok Leftau , what is the truth about Trump and the Ukraine. You do know that he has been out of office for 2 years now and it has been Biden's baby.
Let's carry this a step further....
"As regards the two-year-old conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the president said Ukraine is a core interest for Moscow, in a way that it is not for the United States. He noted that, since Ukraine does not belong to NATO, it is vulnerable to Russian military domination, and that “we have to be very clear about what our core interests are and what we are willing to go to war for.”"
What President's Conversation was this little paragraph taken from Leftau.
All Presidents are capable of saying things that do not make good sense at times. God knows this current shell does. And it goes a lot further back than that.
I do not believe for one minute that Trump was on Putin/Russia's side of the argument nor do I believe Desantis is.
Your rendition of your anti Republican anything rarely has the words they actually used that you are criticizing, just your version.
How about you provide us proof of what you say like I did and you called "a massive waste of time and keystrokes".
Try copying and pasting what people actually say sometime instead of your version, where you try to make it as bad as possible and in most cases changes the meaning entirely.
And with that I am out of here. You have all night to try and prove me wrong.
And in case you don't know by morning which President said those words that I posted regarding the Ukraine situation I will tell you.

As usual, you "furthered" nothing.
Immediately after you put up your paragraph, I pointed out it referred to the Crimean homeport of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
This 2014 move by Putin into Crimea was clearly a "core interest for Moscow" because of its military infrastructure and as a warm water port for his fleet.
Furthermore, the Crimean peninsula is home to hundreds of thousands Russian military members both active and retired, and civilians.
The military nature of Crimea is what made it impractical and imprudent for us to intervene militarily, and just as ill-advised for the Ukrainians to step in.

Trump Issues Ominous Warning About 'Unprecedented Danger' to U.S.
"Former President Donald Trump on Saturday issued an ominous, but vague warning about a coming danger facing the United States.
"This is the most dangerous time in the history of our Country," the former president wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. "World War III is looming, like never before, in the very dark and murky background.
'Leadership' is solely responsible for this unprecedented danger to the USA, and likewise, the World. HOPELESS JOE BIDEN IS LEADING US INTO OBLIVION!!!"

Trump is a lot of things, some of which I agree with, some I do not, but the fact remains we were in much better shape financially after 4 years of Trump than after only two wth Biden. We stand just waiting for the next shortage or price increase.
And I am ready for your it is not Biden's fault because....
How can anyone with a working brain lay blame for everything on one man and in practically the next breath his successor is totally blameless, because it is beyond his control?

"I don't see how one man , a President , can raise the prices of everything across the board all by himself , the producers and sellers had a hand in it too . "
Rick of course the producers and sellers have a hand in it. Their cost of business goes up, so do their prices. They either maintain a profit margin or go out of business. They are not going to absorb cost increases.
And the President does not stand there and tell everyone to raise prices, his policies take care of that. As I have said many times, Presidents and Congresses want to raise taxes on these corporations. Corporations do not pay taxes, they merely collect and remit them via price increases. It is a cost of doing business they are not going to absorb. The users of Goods and Services pay for the cost increases however they are imposed on businesses and corporations.

Rick there are a couple of things that come to mind here.
There are decent people in business and there are crooks. The crooks come and go. Go mostly because the customer is smarter than people give them credit for.
Kind of that fool me once, that is your fault, fool me twice that is my fault thing.
To continue business a company must show a legitimate profit, likewise they must issue a quality product or service to build customer loyalty and they must keep their promises. A Customer and Supplier have a relationship like a good marriage. They need one another and one another's needs must be appreciated.
A Customer needs a product and a business needs their profit to exist.
In a business Sales Price minus Expenses equals Margin or Profit. It is simple enough, raise price of doing business without increasing Sale Amount is going to affect your Margin or Profit. The business ownership needs a certain amount of after tax money to justify their existence. So increase taxes, you are going to see an increase in prices. I am speaking of successful honest business operations, staying in business to service their obligations to their customers. I once had a prospective customer tell me after he received my proposal on a job he needed done, that a neighbor had recommended me and told him. I would not be the cheapest price, but if he wanted it done correctly and service after the sale he would be better off using us. He took my proposal and I made sure he got his money's worth.
It's not that much different than an hourly worker. If you want a steady flow of work you have to give a fair days work for a fair days pay. Raise your cost of living and you are going to need a salary increase.

Leftau, I would bet that is not the first time a politician, Democrat or Republican has paid a ***** to keep her mouth shut.
And that affected his ability to lead, how???
The Demcrats tried to hide the fact that Slo Joe was totally incompetent to lead the country. Can they be prosecuted for that as well?
From where I sit, it looks as if the only thing that matters is "GET TRUMP" !!

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Mar 25, 2023, at 4:36 PM
Leftau, I looked up some of the books he has reportedly written, selling from about $3 and a little higher for most of them with a few running in the $10 to $15 dollar range. Even if that was all profit and we know it cannot be, he was worth less than $30,000 in 2009 now his net worth is in the $9,000,000.00 range. Takes a lot of books to pile up that much money! Let's see now what was Ole Slo Joe doing from 2009 to the Present. the first 8 he was Vice President, then he had 4 years off and now he has had roughly 2 1/2 as President.
But from January 3, 1973, until January 15, 2009 he was able to accumulate less than $30,000. He had some really profitable years in there from 2009 until 2023. Makes one want to go Hmmmmmmmm!
And then there is Trump vs Biden in your mind Leftau, you have branded Trump a criminal and being on a crime spree, but when someone brings up the business of a $3,000,000.00 stipend from a group of Chinese with Communist Party affiliations to good old Hunter's Partner that is then divvied up with the Bidens's that is just alleged. Trump had documents at his home, that was criminal, Biden has documents carelessly left in his garage and that was just an error they slipped into his brief case by accident. Then there is the college/Biden affiliation that will not allow the documents hidden there to be seen and there is reportedly truckloads of them.
In 36 years as a Senator Biden cannot accumulate $30,000.00 net worth but in the next 14 or 15 as a Vice President and President he can accumulate around $9,000,000.00
Leftau you are so translucent that anybody could see straight through you and your little protect a Democrat at any cost to distortion and outright lying. You are pathetic.

1. "There was no "outright lying" on my part, but don't speak for you."
Response: I will remind you in the future and it is as good as a lie to call Trump having documents at home criminal while Biden having them is ignored on your part.
2. "You did have at least one honest phrase where you admitted,"Trump had documents at his home, that was criminal...."
Respnse: Leftau your statement indicates I said his having documents "that was criminal...."! I do not believe those were my words. Also see Responses to Nos. 1 & 3
3. "You neglected to add that he "tripled down on his criminality by denying he had any, claiming they were "his," refusing to return them, and making is lawyer lie for him."
Response: Leftau, I neglected nothing, I try to not make statements I have no proof of and you fail to recognize that he may have thought they actually were his. I do not know what was on his mind nor do you.
4. Finally, it's irrelevant, but others can't see "straight through" translucent material.
Response: Perhaps translucent was incorrect, it allows light to show through but not distinct shapes. Ify but this does fit you perfectly. You and your motives are as easy to see through as a screen door!
A question for you Leftou, was it legal for a Senator or a Vice President to have government documents in his possession while it is criminal for a President to do the same thing.
And please don't come up with that lying excuse that they slipped into Biden's briefcase by accident and then he failed to return them. Were you really saying the man's current state of mindlessness has been going on for the past 50 years?

Leftau I see you responded to this much of what I had to say about Biden's new found wealth and did so out of context to boot. So translucent was not a good example..... but I will stick to what I said about you being as easy to see through as a screen door.
And after your Books comment, how is it you failed to respond to my logic regarding Biden and his going from rags to riches or better described as less than $30,000.00 to around 9,000,000.00 net worth in a few short years as vice president and president. The pay there won't do it either. Since you are so smart on how business operates and the rest of us are knowledgeless on the subject, maybe you could explain to us how you gain that kind of wealth on cheap books. I think 10% for the big guy and divying up $3,000,000.00 payments from time to time help. Would be interesting to have you explain this to us.

Biden's documents were openly and freely turned over to a special prosecutor, as were those from Pence. Any other documents that Biden may have will be treated in the same manner (legally.)
Trump is the only one who tried to hide his stolen classified documents.

To continue on the "Degree of Intent" statement. Debate including a lot of factors come to mine. Competitor, Hater, Worshipper, Follower, Political Enemy, Friend. Bet a few more could be considered.
The one who truly knows what the "Degree of Intent" is, would be the one committing the act to be determined be it good or bad. Which puts the one trying to make the decision in a position that could any number of things. But try as we might, unless the perpetrator of any act good or bad confides in their "Degree of Intent" we are only guessing what it is.

I am no tthe one making phoney claims but you are. You have finally admitted Biden also committed crimes. Now you want to make one a Mortal sin and the other a Venial sin, which is not your perogitive. That is strictly up to a Judge and Jury. I would suggest there are politicians going back to George Washington in this Country and Beyond who have left with a government item of one kind or another and today how many documents do you think are scanned via a cell phone, which is easy to do and turns into a document copy and not just a picture. Leftau, it is not your job to determine culpability and the seriousness of the crime. That is to be determined inthe correct place and time. But it is refreshing to know that you admit Biden committed crimes. You don't like Trump, you haven't like Trump since he was announced as the winner in 2016 and I have a copy of your "Now that he has elevated himself to a pedestal." offering. Those may not be the exact wrods but very close and you may grade me if you like. There are a lot of things I do not care for when it comes to Trump and the same thing can be said about Harry Truman. but there is one thing I appreciated from both of them, there was no doubt about what they were saying right or wrong.

And leftau, speeding is wreckless driving. Those speed limits are there for a reason.
And it is wreckless also because it could net you a ticket which costs money that we need to pay Joe Biden's high prices. I park in the lower level garage and have to walk upstairs with my groceries. Two days ago, I went to pick up a few grocery items. I cam home wiht a $103.63 bill for those items. And I carried them up the stairs in one trip by myself. No steaks or roasts either.

Rick with Presidents since I was born, I can think of 4 that had women problems to one degree or another, there may be some more I am unaware of. They would be FDR, Kennedy, Clinton and Trump.
Perhaps what we need to do is set the standards we want in a President and then hire a good one by committee and pay them to run the country like they do with a business.

"According to a CBP status report, the U.S. has constructed 438 miles of “border wall system” under Trump, as of Dec. 18. Most of that, 365 miles of it, as we said, is replacement for primary or secondary fencing that was dilapidated or of outdated design. In addition, 40 miles of new primary wall and 33 miles of secondary wall have been built in locations where there were no barriers before." Factcheck.org
Still new Southern Wall construction no matter how the blind look at it. BTW, since Biden saw fit to stop any more New Wall construction the material already paid for is laying on the ground with the USA government paying monthly storage storage on it! Yep, the blind need to wake up to reality.

"He hasn't changed in the slightest. There is no shame," the editorial board wrote. "After riling up rioters, cheering for a coup, and agreeing that his vice president needed to be hanged, he's back to making violent threats against fellow Americans.
"This is not a felony case, and Bragg trying to turn it into one is pure politics. But rather than seek his vindication in the courtroom, or even just make an impassioned speech, Trump wants to inspire a mob."

“…good ole Trump years…”
Gas prices low because the Trump Covid-19 pandemic brought the US economy to a virtual halt. No demand means low gas prices. Trump tells Saudi Arabia to cut production to increase prices.
Inflation low because of business stagnation due to the Trump Covid-19 pandemic. Same with low interest rates.
There was no energy independence. For example: “The U.S. imported about 8.47 million barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil in 2021, down from 9.14 million b/d in 2019.”
Trump illegally instituted Title 42.
2020 GDP growth - Minus 2.8%
Unemployment April 2020 - 14.7 %.
Trump first policy unchanged.
----- ---- --- -- -
Biden years …
Oil prices increases due to low supply, increasing demand due to growing economy.
Inflation worldwide due to supply chain disruption, China interference, Putin invasion, etc.
Interest rates increases to combat inflation.
Covid deaths of vaccinated individuals down to 114,000.
US law allows asylum seekers to enter the country. Immigration solutions still dependent on Congressional approval of Comprehensive. US law allows asylum seekers to enter the country.
2021 GDP growth - Plus 5.9%
Unemployment Mar 22 - 3.6 %.
World approval of America increases significantly

Leftau, I will comment on one item and then I have to get back to work. Tax time is upon us.
These so called Asylum seekers as an excuse for the Southern Border mess that Biden created is a bunch of BS and you know it.
Just because they say it is so does not make it so and we should be requiring valid reason for asylum.
We all know why they are coming here, they are looking at free money that hard working Americans have to pay in taxes to support them. I am sick and tired of our government ******* our money away, the way they do. I have been retired for 23 years and am still paying taxes of various kinds including income taxes and am getting sick and tired of having it squandered. This government is paying people to sit at home on their *** while jobs go begging.
Food prices are out of control and you need something, they talk about lead time. Right now my contractor is searching for a transfer switch to install a standby generator and the supplier tells him 24 week lead time and it may have to come from Canada to accomplish that. That is nearly six months, and we have been searching for one since last September. Meanwhile the slightly used Generator that I purchased last fall sits here useless, after I paid a $3800 freight bill to get it here from Utah.
This country is totally screwed up after two years of Biden's Presidencey. And if Joe Biden runs for President again, I will vote against him no matter his opponent. He is a total failure as a leader.

Now let's hear it about how those evil Republicans didn't see it your way.

Same old, sameo with you Leftau. If it is Trump or any Republican if somebody accuses it is a crime. But if it is a Democrat, even when they have the bank records now, it is nothing but a conspiracy theory.

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Mar 31, 2023, at 12:02 PM
Mr. Braswell,
If these are the “bank records” you’re referring to, what’s the crime?
"WASHINGTON – The Treasury Department has agreed to allow House investigators to review suspicious banking reports about the president’s son, Hunter Biden, and his business associates, a key House committee chairman announced Tuesday.
"The agreement came after Rep. James Comer, head of the Oversight and Accountability Committee, made several requests for the documents and had been rebuffed.
“After two months of dragging their feet, the Treasury Department is finally providing us with access to the suspicious activity reports for the Biden family and their associates’ business transactions,” Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement.
"Treasury Department officials said they engaged in multiple rounds of consultation with the committee but had to protect the privacy of the records and consult with law enforcement officials before granting access. Democrats on the panel have criticized the inquiry as hyper-partisan. The White House has dismissed the investigation as politically motivated."
I'm sure you've figured out that the existence of bank records in not the crime. They may end up providing evidence, but there's nothing yet.
The difference with respect to Trump cases is that the evidence is out there, primarily provided by Trump himself...
All I need is for you to find me 11,780 votes...
There are no classified records, but they're mine...
You have to go out there and fight, otherwise you won't have a country...
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Mar 31, 2023, at 12:40 PM
See the difference, Mr. Braswell?
As I've always said, if Hunter's proved guilty of a crime, he should go to jail.
If President Biden's proven guilty, he could be impeached.
If Trump's found guilty, he should go to jail.
No one's above the law, do you agree?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Mar 31, 2023, at 12:45 PM
"Democrats on the panel have criticized the inquiry as hyper-partisan. The White House has dismissed the investigation as politically motivated.""
Well the Democrats should recognize it, they spent 4 years of hounding Trump with the two Impeachment attempts which were based on lies more than evidence of anything.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Mar 31, 2023, at 1:20 PM
"If President Biden's proven guilty, he could be impeached."
Let's see now Leftau, Hunter should go to jail!
Trump should go to jail!
Why not Biden go to jail as well, is he special?
And Leftau, I think we know Biden will never be impeached to removal from office. The Democrats will not provide the two thirds Senate Majority to complete it before he is removed from office.
So far three Presidents have been brought up for impeachment, two Democrats and a Republican. Neither of the attempts to remove from office could muster the needed 2/3 majority needed from the Senate, although Andrew Johnson escaped for the lack of 1 vote. Leftau likes to describe Trump as twice impeached. He should add twice found not guilty.
The impeachment process if not for something exceedingly serious should not be attempted because unless the party trying to do the impeaching has a huge majority in the Senate, it is not going to happen. Our country is too political for it to happen.
And in the case of Trump and his two impeachment attempts, the real reason, for defeating Hillary Clinton, which the Democrats will never forgive him for is not an impeachable offense, and other than lies by a few key Democrats, there was no basis for it.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Mar 31, 2023, at 1:39 PM

Leftau, those are crimes how? If they were indictable crimes he would already be indicted on them.
Your constant Trump, Trump, Trump and more Trump harping shows all of the concerns of a man who is scared to death that he will run again and be elected because his 4 years were a shining success compared to the past 2 plus years of the Biden failures. When 37% of Democrats are against a Democrat President, the Democrats have a severe problem to overcome. I daresay those 37% and many more afraid to go public would be tickeled to death to be pay $100 or less for a weeks groceries instead of the $180 to $200 they are having to pay today for the same products.
And just as an example in the 1920's people had real money to deal with. An ounce of gold which was what was contained in a $20 gold piece was worth just that $20, Todays market close had buyers offering $1969.70 for an ounce of gold, which would logically make that $20 gold coin worth more for it's numismatic value. Thank our mismanaged government, mostly Democratic for how inflation has carried things to such extremes. If things continue on the path we are on, while I while not be around to see it, most American's will be millionaires and unable to afford to live decently at the same time. Print some more money, to buy some more votes. Hardly a day goes by that I don't see an add somewhere on how I might be able to get a free card to buy my groceries, just sign up. What the hell have we become when we have to advertise to intice people into signing up for free money. They are not buying my vote with it, they are assuring themselves that I will vote against them. Meanwhile jobs go begging because the leaches of the world will take the freebies instead of working to support themselves. Those who will take money from hard working tax payers while not applying for jobs that are available are not worth the oxygen they are wasting.

Yes we had a Pandemic thanks to the Biden Family friends, the Chinese. And if you will remember Biden was handed a quickly developed vaccine and a distribution program in it's infancy. And Biden promised he would stop the virus, which still lingers to a degree over two years later.
So instead of your primary school sing song oft repeated same old rhetoric try growing up and act like an American adult.
PS: When you quote someone's statement try to include what the statement was saying. Or didn't they teach Common Sense 101 up Nawth where you were educated?

Mr. VanGennip and Mr. Schaefer,
Pay attention…
“President Donald Trump told CNBC on Wednesday he trusts the information coming out of China on the coronavirus, which has killed nine people and sickened nearly 500 others in that country.
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday confirmed the first case in the United States.
“We have it totally under control,” Trump told “Squawk Box” co-host Joe Kernen in an interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
If that’s not mishandling and bungling, what would you call it?

More "mishandling and bungling" courtesy of Trump...
These are quotes from the 2 months the the President dithered, delayed, denied and deferred. In my opinion this is why we have about 25% of the cases and deaths with only 4.6% of the population.
Trump’s Responses to the Coronavirus Outbreak
Jan 22 “We pretty much have it under control. It’s one person coming in from China.” Also “We have it totally under control.”
Feb 2 “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China. It’s going to be fine.”
Feb 24 “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock market starting to look very good to me!”
Feb 25 “CDC and my administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
Feb 25 “I think that’s a problem that’s going to go away. They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re close to a vaccine.”
Feb 26 “The fifteen cases within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
Feb 26 “We’re going very substantially down, not up.”
Feb 27 “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
Feb 28 “We’re ordering a lot of supplies, We’re ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn’t be ordering unless it was something like this. But we’re ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
Mar 2 “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don’t think that could have an impact, or much of an impact on Corona?”
Mar 2 “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.
Mar 4 “If we have thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work – some of them go to work, but they get better.”
Mar 5 “I NEVER said that people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
Mar 6 “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
Mar 6 “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. And the tests are beautiful. They are perfect, just like the letter was perfect. The transcript was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that, but pretty good.
Mar 6 “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Everyone of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for President?”
Mar 6 “I don’t need to have the numbers double b/c of 1 ship that wasn’t our fault.”

Likeability was obvious (particularly when compared to Trump's "obnoxiousness") but experience was the controlling factor. Just match Biden's bipartisan legislation against Trump achieving none.
Consider the facts behind Mr. Schaefer's statistics, Trump's "numbers" grew from being handed a growing economy. Biden's "numbers" are based on the necessity to recovery from damage created by the Trump pandemic, specifically his mishandling ofthe pandemic and bungling for about a year.

More Trump supporter craziness...
"Is there real reason to believe either is likely on Tuesday? Prior to the indictment, when Trump said it was imminent and called for unrest, I put that question to Colin P. Clarke, the director of policy and research at the Soufan Group, a security consultancy. He told me that while lone-wolf attackers were always possible, the groundswell he’d seen in some previous Trump flashpoints wasn’t forming in the online corners where the former president’s most intense supporters tend to congregate. Pro-Trump protests planned in Manhattan subsequently flopped.
"But in the two weeks since then, things have changed. Echoing Trump’s “witch hunt” language, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene vowed to lead a protest in New York on Tuesday. Trump, too, has escalated his rhetoric, calling on his supporters to act now or face “a nation in decline.” The Western States Center, a left-leaning group that tracks extremism online, told me Sunday that with violent rhetoric on the rise, the chances of violence also rise—but noted many observers in their field predict organized action may fizzle out. A researcher told me the precautions in New York make sense, but don’t necessarily indicate a growing threat."

Another point per Joey Biden's wish to lower the gas prices that he caused to go up was to reduce the Strategic Petroleum Reserves by 60%. What will the USA do if there is a Emergency need of those oil stocks that are now only at 40%. Since the cost of oil is now higher, the cost to refill the SPR will cost the taxpayers mega dollars....thanks Joe the Senile Demented Resident of the White House Nursing Home!

TODAY,not Dec 8,2022 gas price is $3.44. I’m not a math major but that appears to be going up.

Mr. Braswell,
I pretty sure that what I said was that President's have little direct control over oil prices. What makes a difference is OPEC-R and supply and demand.
Recall that when Trump was leaving office we were still in the final stages of the Trump Pandemic, whereas when Biden took over the economy was improving, demand began growing quickly, and increases in production did not keep up.
Therefore gas prices spiked. My comparison recognized the high of $4.99 in June of 2022 and it dropped to about $3 in December and is still about the same.
As for the vaccine...
"President Joe Biden on Tuesday gave credit to the Trump administration for the development of the Covid-19 vaccine and praised his predecessor, Donald Trump, for getting a booster shot – marking a rare moment where the two men have found common ground since Inauguration Day."

From your link…
“…what a liberal democrat constitutional lawyer says …”
“At any rate, if Trump did remove classified documents from the White House, raiding his residence is not an appropriate retrieval method, Dershowitz told Beck. What if the FBI agents tasked with conducting the raid lacked sufficient security clearance to be in possession of the documents?
"This is exactly the kind of thing that needs a document-by-document analysis — by a judge. Not the FBI coming in and sweeping everything together, breaking into a safe," Dershowitz said.”
Dershowitz may be a Constitutional lawyer but is ignoring the Presidential Records Act, and various other laws.
Trump had zero claim to those documents he stole, especially not the classified ones.
The FBI search warrant was issued legally by a judge after numerous attempts by the National Archives in writing and verbally. The agents conducting the search were not required to read any document, all were being held illegally, and were retrieved. The next step was to remove the documents so the contents could be analyzed in a secure setting.

Didn’t Mr Lettau,Esquire once call Romney something along the line of a good republican?
He can argue with anyone about anything just to be sadly happy so:
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), a sharp Trump critic, voiced criticism of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of the former president on Tuesday, calling it an “overreach” that is political in nature.
“I believe President Trump’s character and conduct make him unfit for office,” Romney said in a statement. “Even so, I believe the New York prosecutor has stretched to reach felony criminal charges in order to fit a political agenda.”
Mitt Romney
That's Mitt talking out of both sides of his mouth but he makes a good point.

Wonder what really happened to all of those classified documents that Joey Biden stole after his Senator and VP years that were stored at a University that has Mega dollar donations from China, a beach house where Hunter probably sold to our enemies for some Crack money, or those papers stored in that secured garage with an open door at Joey's Delaware home.
Also, VP Pence had some classified documents that followed him home....do we Americans know the true amount and what happened to them.
Obama has millions of pages of documents stored by the National Archives not at their secured locations but where Obama has Blink Blink stored them securely....yep!
That Trump is guilty while Biden, Pence, and Obama live the great life.

Leftau a couple of thoughts...
Was Biden's taking of government documents apparently since his days as Senator legal?
If Trump does not run again, or if he runs and looses, will you still continue your repetitious Trump Trashing that you started in November 2016, when you made that, now that he has elevated himself to a pedestal, idiotical statement or will you start living in the present again?

Mr. VanGennip,
Telling the truth about Trump is not "Trump trashing."

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Apr 7, 2023, at 11:56 AM
Whether Biden's possession of classified documents is legal depends on what the documents were. Also he did not intentionally retain them, nor did he refuse to return them.
In fact he turned them in voluntarily. He was at that time, obviously not subject to the Presidential Records Act.
Trump's crime of obstruction is based on his illegally and intentionally taking both classified and unclassified government documents, which he at different times, denied he had them, wrongfully claimed they were "his," and lied about having returned all of them.
As always, the differences shouldn't be hard for Americans to understand.
But then there are SO conservatives...

"In fact he turned them in voluntarily. He was at that time, obviously not subject to the Presidential Records Act."

Leftau, I am sure you are independently wealthy living as a Country Gentleman on your 18 acre ranch out there in Scopus if you want to give your taxes to the government early that is your business, hell mail them extra for next year who cares. I however make it a vocation of not giving them my money until the very last minute as I do not approve of the way they **** money away, so it is my form of protest. But since I am not an hourly employee, nor am I living on Social Security, I do pay estimated taxes and that means, I write two checks. One because I did not pay enough estimated last year and another to pay estimated for 2023. That one I do pay early instead of payments as is allowed because I will forget and have to pay penalties.
Count on it Water Boy, I will wait until the last minute possible as my way of protesting. Not that anybody cares but me.

Actually Leftau, I never missed anything as I did not look. You see it is only my job to gather the information. My daughter does the work and gives me the number. My next job is writing the checks, signing the forms and mailing them. My daughter is a CPA with filing in Domestic and Foreign taxes experience. I think she knows when the filing is due. It is her venue to do the tax work and mine to locate and gather the information. I will file my taxes on time but not early. It is my way of protesting not that it matters to anyone but me.
Now you can pretend to be independently wealthy living on your 18 acre ranch out in Scopus and you have already filed yours. Has little to nothing to do with it. But when my CPA daughter hands me the paperwork it will be my job to write two checks and to sign the paperwork and get it mailed. You see Leftau my taxes are based on filing estimated as I do not receive a paycheck. So I file my return along with what I am short on estimated for 2022 and the estimated taxes for 2023. The estimated I do pay all of it early as I worry that I will forget to make the necessary payments as are allowed, and end up paying penalties.
Now I am going to fill you in on a couple of things since you are such a know it all. I left home within 3 weeks of graduating from High School with $10 in my pocket. My Mother said try not to lose it. I skipped using the Scholarhsip I had to Rolla as I did not have the money for living expenses and besides I had already cut one out of the herd that I intended to marry and did so. This October it will be 66 years ago that we married. By the time I went into business I had aquired a wife, two children, a mortgaged house and a car and truck with payments and my $10 had grown to $500. It was 60 years ago this month I started that business which is still operating today with new ownership. You want to tell me about business, I was Involved in 3 of them at the same time a Partnership with three other men that I eventually became the sole owner of, the corporation wife and I owned and which still operates, and another partnership with a relative out of town that I got out of early for a variety of reasons. I have been retired for 23 years and still operate a Partnership that involves leasing owned property. My job there involves depositing rents and paying bills along with the bookkeeping which is minimal. I have quit worrying about losing the $10, I think I am going make it, If Biden’s inflation doesn’t put me down. I owe my monthly bills and credit card payments.
I tell you this only because I am getting tired of your belittling bullshit and to let you know that I have no need for your so called help or advice.
If that isn't clear enough try this, the next time I need your help I will notify you. Don't hold your breath waiting. Capeesh!

It's the pandemic that occurred during the Trump administration.
Why would you call it something else?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Apr 9, 2023, at 12:07 PM
And you forgot to mention that the Pandemic that came from a Chinese Lab had money handed them from our hard earned taxes during a Democratic Administration.
Do you not know the whole story or do you just blast a Republican while coveringfor a Democrat every chance you get.
And then the Democrats handed us "Dead Man Walking" for a President. Why don't you blow your horn about that Leftau.
And then maybe you can expound on Biden's blaming Trump for his failure in the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Real winners you are promoting Leftau. Sarcasm intended!

Now we’re in a situation where people are really hurting and rather than acknowledge that their policies have been ineffective, they’re going to Maduro and they’re going to the ayatollahs in Iran,” DeSantis contended. “The answer is American energy independence, not propping up Nicolás Maduro.” October 6, 2022 Gov. DeSantis

Lefty, Lefty, is your reading comprehension so bad or, is it that you are so forgetful that I need to remind you of what I told you just a few short days ago? Here goes again.
When I need your help I will ask for it!
Just to aid your understanding I will let you in on three rules I try to live by with explanations since you have such a hard time understanding what others say.
!. Treat others fairly!
That doesn't always mean nicely, just fairly based on what respect they hsve earned.
2. Learn by Researcch. Learn by doing & NEVER quit learning.
Seems fairly understandable.
3. NEVER SEEK ADVICE OR HELP FROM SOMEONE DUMBER THAN YOU ARE ON THE SUBJECT!
Rule 3. also should be understandable and is the one rule I consider most important.
And yes Leftau I have them written down.
Obviously that is not everything but three I try to follow.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Apr 10, 2023, at 11:44 AM
Leftau, I never asked for your help. I just suggested you back up your bluster with links proving what you say.

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a New York grand jury for his role in covering up hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said it has contacted Trump's attorney "to coordinate his surrender" for arraignment.
The grand jury has been investigating Trump for months
Trump is likely to be charged with a violation of New York penal code 175.10, falsifying business records in the first degree, says Kim Wehle, a former U.S. attorney and now a law professor at the University of Baltimore.
Trump and the GOP say the indictment is political persecution
The former president dismissed the Manhattan grand jury's vote to indict him as "political persecution" and "election interference," in a statement on Thursday.
"The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to 'Get Trump,' but now they've done the unthinkable — indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference," the statement from his website reads.
Democrats and those tied to the probe say it's about accountability
Democrats also rallied around a party message, but theirs was one of the need for blind justice, best summed up by the phrase "no one is above the law."
This could be just the beginning of Trump's legal woes
A case in Fulton County, Ga., centers on the pressure campaign employed by Trump and his allies in the weeks following the 2020 presidential election.
The Justice Department has interviewed numerous Trump allies and aides for an investigation into Trump's role in igniting the Jan. 6 attack.
And a trove of classified documents has sparked the Justice Department to open a second investigation into Trump.

I assume the “star” witnesses for the prosecution will be a convicted liar and another that lost a case and openly refuses to pay court ordered restitution. Rather go to jail than pay,she said. Well,there’s a lot of poles,er bars,to dance on in prison.
If the judge is as unbiased as should be the case will never see the inside of a courtroom but if it goes forward Trumps attorneys will eat those “stars” up.

Leftau, Biden has earned no respect from me. A lifetime Politician with nothing of consequence accomplished. He was put on the ballot because of likeability not ability which is a disservice to all Americans,
Nah, since I am the decision maker in my own actions, I owe hin no respect. And that was even before I learned that he went from a net worth of less than $30,000 before making Vice President to aquiring better than $9,000,000.00 since.
I treat Biden fairly, if not kindly.
Is that one of my three major rules you think I violated Water Boy.
A question for you, do you think after spending day and night going after Trump since he trounced Hillary Clinton in 2008, do you think they will really make the current accusations stick?
And Water Boy, you may rest easy that I will not violate Rule #3, so far as you are concerned.

I thought this interesting after all of the noise over the Trump indictment......
"Trump raised millions in less than a day following indictment
In response to Alvin Bragg’s indictment of Donald Trump, the former President raised over $4 million in just 24 hours. The average donation was $34 and he collected donations from over 115,000 individuals. What’s even more shocking is that over 25% of those donations came from new donors."
The Democrates who fear and hate him seem to be determined to make sure Trump is on the ticket again. The more they rail on against him the stronger his base seems to be getting.

The only way I see Trump as President is with a strong House and Senate Majority. Anything short of this will be a repeat of his last Term. If the Democrats control the House, it will be one investigation after the next, all the while getting little done and when nothing happens there it will be Impeach, Impeach, Impeach. It is not only disgraceful it is a disservice to the Country and a huge waste of time and treasure. We went through it last time and the Democrats spent 4 years of lies and failures when the time could have been spent to move our country forward. It is my firm belief that the biggest problem was and is the Democrats hatred for Donald Trump for defeating Hillary Clinton. If we don't get back to the, have an election and when the people's choice is clear, then get on with the people's business that you are paid to do instead of all of the damnable litigating and investigating all the while turning up nothing and accomplishing little for the people of this country.

Seems apparent that our former one-term, twice impeached, disgraced White House occupant is as unhinged as ever.
“In 2016, I declared: I am your voice,” he said, speaking for just over 100 minutes from a bright blue and red stage in a cavernous ballroom at the closing speech of the CPAC event in Maryland. “Today, I add: I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed: I am your retribution,” he said.
"Trump left office in disgrace after two impeachments and a failed attempt to overturn his defeat by Joe Biden in the 2020 election, culminating in a deadly riot at the US Capitol. He faces an array of criminal investigations yet announced another run for president last November at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida."

Leftau, maybe you would like to check the article below. There are many more.
I don't know where you had your head in 2016, but I remember the efforts of the Clinton Camp in trying to change the Electoral College Results.
And I still remember those of AL "Sore", er Gore as well.
And you have forgotten your oft repeated chant about Trump, that included "twice impoeached"?
Good, it was childish and getting tiresome to hear.
The Democrats with AL Gore were the first, in modern history, to try and abort an election and each one gets a little worse than the last.
So Leftau I would expect nothing more or less than your carrying on with your Trump obsession while most of us worry about our present day Disaster in the White House. Along with the other members of his present day crime family.

Leftau, just a couple of questions.....
Did or did not Al Gore take his vote counting argument to court?
Did or did not the Hillary Clinton Camp try to figure out a way of subvrting the honest county of the Electoral College votes?
As I said earlier, each incident progressively got worse. And I have not defended anyone from Gore through Trump for what happened. Do I velieve there was some fraud. Yes I do, I doubt that we have had a completely free of some fraud vote in a very very long time.
Is it fraud when a vote is purchased with a shot of whiskey. I think it is and I know it happened. Can I prove it, no the ones that told me of it are all gone long ago.

Good grief, I hope you can get the meaning of what I was trying to say. The fat fingered flu is in full bloom this morning. I never did claim to be a typist. My teacher said she was going to pass me, not because I could type, but because I really tried.

However, what am I that I accuse others of?

Leftau, you said it all in the above post. You absolutely have to be the worst on here at providing links to the claims you make. Possibly could it be that there is no link to it and your posts are mostly opinions? Or worse!
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Apr 23, 2023, at 1:37 PM
Gore wanted to continue the recounts, Bush wanted to stop. I don't recall who initiated court action, but the Supreme Court decided, and Gore conceded.
I have never heard of Clinton trying to subvert honest vote counting. She also conceded.
Trump is the first to initiate criminal action and the only one refusing to concede. Making excuses for him is a losing effort.
Whether there was an incident of fraud having zero impact on election results is irrelevant.
Trump is the only one ever to make the goofy claim and the only one ever to push a big lie before the election even took place.

"Whether there was an incident of fraud having zero impact on election results is irrelevant."
That goes right along with fraud is ok if you don't get caught.
You think like a Liberal Leftist Democrat Leftau.
No act of fraud is irrelevant. It grows and becomes a way of life when people get away with it.
Next...
"Trump is the first to initiate criminal action and the only one refusing to concede. Making excuses for him is a losing effort."
I made no excuses for any of the three mentioned. I merely pointed out the facts to you. Each incident appears to me to have become more vicious and it is time to stop.
Our election process is undoubtedly the best in the world, but there is too much time and effort put into cheating and/or subverversion of it.
One more thing Leftau.....
"I have never heard of Clinton trying to subvert honest vote counting. She also conceded."
Then you were not paying attention. I gave you a reference to it an there were many more out there. There were definitely a lt of talk on how to get around the Electoral Congress and why they did not have to vote the way there citizens voted.
And.....
"Gore wanted to continue the recounts, Bush wanted to stop. I don't recall who initiated court action, but the Supreme Court decided, and Gore conceded."
Leftau since you appear to have total lack of recall or admittedly are uneducated, I will help you.
And Gore effectively did not concede. He conceded then he rescended his concession.
Hope that helps with yur education Leftau as you have previously appeared to only see one side of things.
Your're welcome.

DA, what we are forgetting is that it was Hillary's turn to play President and Trump spoiled all of that. She says she dreamed of it as a little girl. Hopefully American's are smart enough to prevent that dream from ever coming to fruition.
The Leftist Democrats are never going to forget it. Leftau has been at it since Trump was declared the winter in November of 2016 and his Trump having elevated himself to a pedestal epiphany.
If he had accomplished nothing else but keeping Hillary Clinton out of that office, it is laudable. Thank you Donald Trump, we owe you for that.

Leftau, are you trying to say Gore did not make the effort to rescind his decision to concede? It is a matter of record. You appear to be terribly uneducated on the processes that took place in the Gore Vs Bush election. You aren't that young that you would have been unaware of what was happening in a Presidential Election. Personally I think it is more of a would like to forget it thing with you.
I gave you no aboutisms, just what actually took place.
And you and calling what others say "isms", that is a laugh. If there is anyone spreading "isms" around it is you. You should have your Trump thread changed to just 'Trumpisms by Leftau'.
I make no excuses for Gore, a Democrat, Hillary Clinton, a Democrat or Trump, a Democrat turned Republican for their election cycles.
Gore wouldn't accept defeat and filed suit.
H. Clinton wouldn't accept defeat and tried to use the Electoral College.
Trump would't accept defeat and tried to use public opinion and suits. All three were bad ideas and all three happened.
And this one statement says everything there is needed to know about who you really are and what your philosophy is. Democrat all the way, there is no other way, I believe it is what it says.
Here is the statement. Try denying you said it.
"Whether there was an incident of fraud having zero impact on election results is irrelevant."

Leftau. if or not fraud had an impact on results, it is definitely relative and has no place in America's elections. And I think we all know it is practiced to a degree in our elections. It is something you would expect in a Banana Republic, not in a supposedly civilized society. Fraud is thievery and you are either a thief or you are not, there is no degree to it when ascertaining someone's integrity

I see Mr Lettau just admitted fraud in what he has called “a free,fair and honest election“. Just a little fraud not a big fraud like Clinton and her Russian Collusion election interference fraud or hiding the Hunter Biden computer fraud but just a little fraud.

Mr. Braswell,
Recall I stated, if there was any. If you have proof of fraud, produce the evidence. Needless to say the "proof" submitted by the Trump cult, was thrown out in about 60 different court cases.
Rudy never found any proof, but if you have it, show us.
Then there's this about the "thieving" republicans...
"As Donald Trump clings to claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, Republicans are still making headlines for actually committing voter fraud. Mehdi Hasan updates the list."

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Apr 24, 2023, at 12:53 PM
This is from the February 16, 2023, NY Times…
“Newly disclosed messages and testimony from some of the biggest stars and most senior executives at Fox News revealed that they privately expressed disbelief about President Donald J. Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him, even though the network continued to promote many of those lies on the air.
“The hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, as well as others at the company, repeatedly insulted and mocked Trump advisers, including Sidney Powell and Rudolph W. Giuliani, in text messages with each other in the weeks after the election, according to a legal filing on Thursday by Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion is suing Fox for defamation in a case that poses considerable financial and reputational risk for the country’s most-watched cable news network.
“Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It’s insane,” Mr. Carlson wrote to Ms. Ingraham on Nov. 18, 2020.
“Ms. Ingraham responded: “Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy.”
----- ---- --- -- -
My opinion is that this is why Fox lost the $787.5 million and why they dumped Tucker from his $35 million per year position.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Apr 24, 2023, at 12:55 PM
Mr. VanGennip,
As you know Al Gore conceded, and if you looked through the link above, you could have read his concession speech. In your wildest imagination, could you ever see Trump making a sincere concession like Gore’s?
Here are a few extracts…
“Some have expressed concern that the unusual nature of this election might hamper the next president in the conduct of his office. I do not believe it need be so.
“President-elect Bush inherits a nation whose citizens will be ready to assist him in the conduct of his large responsibilities.
“I personally will be at his disposal, and I call on all Americans -- I particularly urge all who stood with us to unite behind our next president. This is America. Just as we fight hard when the stakes are high, we close ranks and come together when the contest is done.
“And while there will be time enough to debate our continuing differences, now is the time to recognize that that which unites us is greater than that which divides us.
“While we yet hold and do not yield our opposing beliefs, there is a higher duty than the one we owe to political party. This is America and we put country before party. We will stand together behind our new president.
“I've seen America in this campaign and I like what I see. It's worth fighting for and that's a fight I'll never stop.
“As for the battle that ends tonight, I do believe as my father once said, that no matter how hard the loss, defeat might serve as well as victory to shape the soul and let the glory out.
“Now the political struggle is over and we turn again to the unending struggle for the common good of all Americans and for those multitudes around the world who look to us for leadership in the cause of freedom."

Leftau, a string of words. Cheap.
If you did any research at all you have to have seen where he rescinded his Concession.
Leftau since you seem to be rather helpless on this issue, I will help you.
You're welcome, glad to provide you with some education. Doesn't the DNC offer you some free help?
PS:
OOps sorry, I said rescind and I am sure I read that somewhere. Perhaps you couldn't find it for that reason. This article says retract. Guess I thought you knew everything every Democrat ever did.
But yes Gore did go back on his Concession and retracted it.
Someday perhaps you can find a 7 year old child that can give you some pointers on using the Internet to search for things.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Apr 24, 2023, at 2:46 PM
Mr. VanGennip,
I'd be happy to "...give you some pointers on using the Internet to search for things."
Let's start with you reading applicable links that are given to you. From Sun, Apr 23, 2023, at 4:00 PM, try reading the first sentence from Gore's actual concession speech. I'll help you, again, and print it for you...
"Just moments ago, I spoke with George W. Bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd President of the United States, and I promised him that I wouldn't call him back this time."
I'm sure you can figure out that Gore apparently gave a verbal "concession" statement at first, briefly retracted it, and then conceded per the actual written version.
You understand that "I wouldn't call him back this time," means that Gore would not retract his concession again.

Let's see, Gore Conceded, then he retracted it, then he conceded ?
And then he filed suit, somewhere along the line. Not that it made any difference. He still lost and and we were spared that "decision" maker!!
And Leftau, what would I want to apologize for, none of my information was incorrect. He lost, he conceded, he retracted, he conceded and he filed suit.
I am not just happy, I am elated we were spared this decision maker.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Apr 24, 2023, at 7:57 PM
As usual, you were incorrect, specifically in the sequence of events. That he retracted a verbal concession prior to providing a formal written concession is beside the point.
When do you expect Trump to issue a written concession?
I'd guess never, which reflects on his dishonesty, lack of ethics and the absence of any shred of morality.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Apr 24, 2023, at 8:31 PM

He instigated an insurrection to try to steal a free and honest election by attacking the US Capital on January 6th 2021.

Here you go again Leftau since you don't seem to have a response.
"Vice President Al Gore concedes defeat to George W. Bush in his bid for the presidency, following weeks of legal battles over the recounting of votes in Florida, on December 13, 2000.
In a televised speech from his ceremonial office next to the White House, Gore said that while he was deeply disappointed and sharply disagreed with the Supreme Court verdict that ended his campaign, ”partisan rancor must now be put aside"
***********
Gore Conceded and rescinded his concession, filed suit, which went to the Supreme Court and finally made a concession in December after the Supreme Court ruled against him, which he did not agree with. Why did he need to concede a 2nd time Leftau. Let me tell you, because he rescinded his first concession, that is why.
Here I will post it for you again and maybe you can finally understand it!

"Trump secured 304 electoral votes — two fewer than he earned in November, according to the Associated Press, which tracked results from capitol to capitol. That was despite a pitched effort by some on the left who wrote letters to Trump electors trying to persuade them to switch their votes or not vote at all and keep Trump short of the 270 needed.
*******************
But Clinton’s supporters are reaching out to the electors in states wherein it is not illegal for electors to change their votes. WND writes, “If Clinton’s supporters can get enough of the 163 electors from states where Trump both won and votes can legally be switched on Dec. 19, Hillary Clinton becomes the next president of the United States.”
Not only did it not happen, but more electors tried to defect from Hillary Clinton Monday than from Trump, by a count of eight to two. Three Democratic electors in Maine, Minnesota, and Colorado tried to vote for candidates other than Clinton. The electors' votes, however, were disallowed because of state rules binding them to the statewide popular vote winner.
An excerp from the above text.....
"That was despite a pitched effort by some on the left who wrote letters to Trump electors trying to persuade them to switch their votes or not vote at all and keep Trump short of the 270 needed."

WND writes, “If Clinton’s supporters can get enough of the 163 electors from states where Trump both won and votes can legally be switched on Dec. 19, Hillary Clinton becomes the next president of the United States.”
"Therefore, Clinton’s supporters are resorting to escalating threats to convince electors to violate their duties to vote for the candidate chosen by the state. According to BuzzFeed, the #NotMyPresident Alliance released the personal information of dozens of Electoral College members in states that went to Trump in an effort to encourage disgruntled people to reach out to and sway the electors."

Leftau call it what you like, I am not defending Trump. I am just trying to show you where all politicians are a bunch of scum.
Concession means nothing when you follow up with lawyering and other ways to try and subvert the system set by our Constitution as both Hillary and Gore both did.
In fact in one way Trump was more honest that they were, he refused to concede but to fight instead. The other two scumbags conceded, then tried to find a way around the loss and Gore made a final concession after he lawyered and lost after a Supreme Court battle.
And finally Water Boy, I fabricated nothing. I gave you news accounts backing up what I told you. Guess you could say that both Clinton and Gore had their fingers crossed so their concession would not be a lie. But shoot I wouldn't want to say that and go so far as to suggest they would lie to their constituents.

Leftau in as much as he has not been indicited for doing just that, I will take that as your opinion rather than call it an outright lie.
Unless you can prove it of course. The fact that he encouraged people to gather and protest does not mean it was an insurrection.

Just one more thing before I turn the lights out Water Boy....
Would you like to show us the law that says a candidate must concede?
If one refusees to do so, it could mean a lot of things. If he did concede, would it make you think any more of him? I doubt it!

Perhaps you could help Mr. VanGennip by explaining that both Gore and Clinton conceded, as is customary for the losing candidate in a presidential election.
Trump was a clear and sad exception to virtually every accepted norm of American presidential politics, and that's not a good characteristic.
That's why American voters rejected him in 2020 and why he'll fare even worse in 2024, should the republican party foolishly nominate him.
Normal (non-MAGA) Americans don't respect him and don't even like him.

Mr. Braswell,
As has been the case all along, Mr. Schaefer's "reality" resides in his fantasy world.
I had not expected you to be able to actually express an observation or a reality on this question. Nothing new there.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Apr 25, 2023, at 3:55 PM
Doesn’t matter to you what you are presented there’s ALWAYS someone else to blame. Can you say Trump? Reminds me of Ol Joe.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Apr 25, 2023, at 5:14 PM
That's not the case at all, and it does matter.
Your claim involved a "refusal to accept reality," and my response was simply " what 'reality' did I refuse to accept?"
Furthermore, as you are adverse to providing specifics, I don't really have an avenue to "blame someone else."
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Apr 25, 2023, at 5:38 PM
Not much on anecdotes but I’m reminded of a fellow I worked with. Bounced from department to department always complaining always arguing always blaming. Once a wise older co worker told him you think it might just be you?
Reminds me of you Mr Lettau. Might just be you.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Apr 25, 2023, at 5:56 PM
Understood. However, that's your opinion.
The question still remains...
What reality did I refuse to accept?
Surely if you're the "wise older worker" you should be able to answer the question.

Both obviously!!
Sorry for the late response. Been a busy day. Had an appointment with the Surgeon who installed two new knees for me 15 years ago for a checkup. He said they were good as new and looked like they had been put in yesterday. Showed me the xrays and I agree. I know I have had zero problems with them and it looks like they are here for the duration. Then doing some spring cleaning on my bookkeeping and the computer in general, Computers are a wonderful thing but they sure can be a handful for us older kids. Got a daughter helping me. And I think it is possible with a couple of more days I may be able to see what color my desktop is.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Apr 25, 2023, at 10:20 PM
Leftau, you apparently have zero reading comprehnension ability.
I never said they did not concede. I told you in detail that Gore conceded, rescinded his concession, Litigated and then after the Supreme Court ruled against him, he conceded a 2nd time, grumbling that he did not agree.
Hillary Clinton conceded then her camp worked on trying to subvert the Constituon by trying to get the Electoral College to elect her against the will of the voters they represented.
Again show me the law, or rule that dictates the politician losing must give a concession speech.
Gore possibly was the first candidate to concede twice, almost certainly the first to rescind his concession.
And he was definitely the first candidate in this century to start legal proceedings to subvert the will of the votors. So Trump just used the knowledge he gained by watching the Democrats and what he learned when he was a Democrat.
Leftau, you are not going to get away with lying about what I had to say in my post, or to twisting it to suit your purpose. Despite what I have posted. First of all you aren't smart enough to get away with it. Secondly, I will call you on it every time I catch you at it. Capeesh???

Leftau, have been busy and have a lot of catchingup to do, but would like to address this.
"Based on your disrespect for the President of the United States, I'd suggest you don't follow your own rules."
The only thing I can see that you could be referring to is my.......
Rule #1 Treat Others Fairly.
That is precisely what I feel I do in Biden's case!
I said.... Treat Others FAIRLY
I did not say nicely, or anything complimentary or anything that could be construed to be complimentary.
I said fairly and that is precisely what I have been doing with Biden in my opinion at least.
Being fair to another in my book does not mean *** kissing and in my book again lying about them and commending them on their failures. It means treating them FAIRLY and that is precisely what I intend to continue doing. Listening to a blithering idiot and then commending them on their performance is not being FAIR to them, nor is it reality. It is better known as *** kissing.

Perhaps if I had received a degree in how to get through to and teach retarded children it would be easier to explain things to people as dense as yourself. And oh yes, I believe I am treating your "Fairly" here.
I treat Joe Biden fairly. The man is an incompetent specimen of mankind and I treat him as I would anyone else in the performance of their durties. He is incompetent in the performance of his duries and I believeing calling attention to such is treating him fairly. Heaping accolades on his performance would be a lie and an injustice. Leftau you do not have to like what I have to say, so be it, I could care less. You and your head up the dark area in the Democratic Party is what it is. I do not agree with that either and calling it as I see it is not unfair.
Let me give you an example that perhaps even you can understand Leftau.
Locking up a killer for a lifetime because of his crime is fair treatment in my opinion. Speaking of that in the context it deserves is fair treatment.
Why does calling a spade a spade bother Dimocrats like Leftau?
As for me, I will continue to treat people Fairly as in the context they deserve. Like it or lump it Leftau, that is the way it is.

He says he's a conservative. One of the republican party's staunchest conservatives is Liz Cheney. Mr. VanGennip dengrates her unfairly for telling the truth about Trump.
That's not at all an instance of treating others equally and reasonably.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Apr 28, 2023, at 7:29 AM
Fair example 2....
Trump badly bungled (it's just one guy from China) the pandemic, causing more than expected American deaths. He divided our nation with his big lie, and the instigation of a full insurrection. Yet Mr. VanGennip refers to as him as somthing like a good manager or administrator.
Biden successfully managed the pandemic recovery keeping Americans in their jobs and homes. He administered and won approval for much needed bipartisan legislation on infrastructure, gun safety, the Chip industry and job return. In spite of these accomplishments, Mr. VanGennip declares Biden to be incompetent.
That is hardly "fair" treatment by any stretch of the imagination

These issues, his divisiveness and Trump's overall dishonesty sucked a couple of my relatives (to remain unidentified) into his cult. They're both recovering slowly but Trump's pointless attempt to run again isn't helping.

“I never said they did not concede.”
And Trump never has. That answers the question of who was wrong.
---- ---- --- -- -
Back to your “rational argument.” Here’s what you claimed….
“And he [Gore] was definitely the first candidate in this century to start legal proceedings to subvert the will of the votors.”
In fact, even though the race was initially called for Gore, it turned out to be “too early to call” and Bush remained ahead in the vote count. So per…
“Gore called Bush to concede the election, but in the early hours of the following morning it became apparent that the Florida race was much closer than Gore’s staff had originally believed. Fewer than 600 votes separated the candidates, and that margin appeared to be narrowing. At about 3:00 AM Gore called a stunned Bush to retract his concession.
“Under Florida election law, a machine recount of all votes cast was required because the margin of victory was less than 0.5 percent. In this race, the gap appeared to be roughly 0.01 percent.”
So Bush was leading, but it was the Florida Supreme Court that determined a hand recount of question, but…
“A tug-of-war ensued between Harris, who initially sought to certify the state’s election results on November 14, and the Florida Supreme Court, which ruled that hand recounts of questionable ballots should proceed in four counties and that the results must be included in the state’s final count. In the month following the election, some 50 individual suits were filed concerning the various counts, recounts, and certification deadlines.
On December 8, in a 4–3 decision, the Florida Supreme Court ordered immediate manual recounts of undervotes for the office of president in all counties where such recounts had not already taken place.”
“The Bush campaign immediately petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay of the recount order, which was granted on December 9. Treating the petition as a writ of certiorari (a formal request for review), the Court agreed to take up the case, Bush v. Gore.”
The “will of the voters” was to have been determined by hand recounts. What “subverted the will of the voters” was Bush getting the US Supreme Court to prevent these hand recounts.
Justice O’Conner, in particular, when hearing the vote had originally been called for Gore, declared “this is terrible” and proceeded to cast the deciding vote to stop the recount, which could easily have resulted in a Gore victory.
So the bottom line is that the Bush camp litigated to subvert a determination of the will of the voters.
----- ---- --- -- -
The situation with Clinton is even easier.
You claimed that…
“Hillary Clinton conceded then her camp worked on trying to subvert the Constitution by trying to get the Electoral College to elect her against the will of the voters they represented.”
What actually happened…
“Vice President Joe Biden presided over a joint session of Congress Friday, where members officially tallied electoral votes from the 2016 presidential election. President-elect Donald Trump’s 304 electoral votes weren’t counted without incident, however. During the course of the certification, House Democrats tried to object to electoral votes from multiples states, with Biden gaveling them down for failure to follow the rules.”
Did you notice “…Biden gaveling them down…”

“Again show me the law, or rule that dictates the politician losing must give a concession speech.”

Biden had one primary job in 2020 which was to prevent the continued damage Trump was inflicting on our nation.
He succeeded.
The next task was to lead Congress to bipartisan legislation the benefitted the American people. With the infrastructure, gun safety and chip manufacturing bills he succeeded again.
Hw also succeeded in unifying, strengthening and expanding NATO to counter and repelling Putin's illegal and immoral invasion of Ukraine.
Obviously he made some errors, but overall the majority of Americans think highly of him as shown by the popular vote

I figured that like most left wing liberals you would be too dense to understand. Some people might need more than one gun. They could be avid hunters and like a single shot 22 to squirrel hunt and a 12 gauge shotgun to duck hunt neither being adequate and need something like a 30-06 to Elk hunt. Our Constitution did nor say we had a right to a gun. I believe it says something to the effect, The right to own firearms shall not be abridged
You fall right in the pattern in trying to take firearms from people to.make them more manageable.
Then we can push the Left's Socialistic views into the ism stage and finally full blown Communism and Totalitarian control.

Actually the solution will come about when NRA members, law abiding gun owners and hunters start demanding that Congress pass common sense gun safety and control regulations.
The only question is how long will it take. Right now there appears to be more the one mass shooting per day.
If that number goes up to ten or one hundred per day, will Congress do something?

Much like the present “laws” all that just won’t combat the problems.
Just as DT said. Don’t enforce the ones on the books now what’s the point of new ones. Most states are already passing what Mr Lettau mentioned including the Red Flag which in my opinion will be a lot of problems. Nosy anti gun people out for a bit of vengeance.

Mr. Braswell,
I’ve never objected to, nor avoided, having a conversation. I think you could be oversimplifying the process.
It may not be a matter of “…Anyone can report anyone…”
At least in Florida, it goes before a judge.
“Florida’s red flag law, championed by Republicans, is taking guns from thousands of people”
“Tampa, FloridaCNN — Twice a week from her courtroom, Florida 13th Circuit Court Judge Denise Pomponio decides who in Hillsborough County can no longer be trusted with a gun.”

All of the regulations we currently haven't done a thing to protect gun violence. One in New York a few shirt months ago. The guy passes the check, buys a gun and next guy shoots up a mostly black store. I believe he was the one who had some kind of psychiatric issue on his record as well.
Then there was the nutcase in Nashville who couldn't decide of she was a boy or girl.
More laws aren't the answer. The oughta be a law days have done little to nothing.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Apr 30, 2023, at 4:51 PM
I purchased my first gun, a pump 22 for $5 or $10. Been so long ago I forgot. It hasn't been fired in over 30 years and never purposely been pointed at another person so far as I know. Purchased from a relative and is secured to this day.
I don't have an obsession on gun ownership. But I definitely am obsessed with the American Constution. And it says the right to own a firearm shall not be abridged. And Democrats pay little attention to that.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Apr 30, 2023, at 5:03 PM

Here ya go. Laws only work,eh,sometimes:
CNN
—
After 19-year-old Brandon Hole killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis last week, questions arose about the state’s “red flag” law, which should have prevented Hole from having a gun in the first place.
“Red flag” laws, found in more than a dozen states across the US, are also known as Extreme Risk Protection Order laws – and they allow courts to temporarily seize firearms from anyone believed to be a danger to themselves or others.
In Hole’s case, his mother told law enforcement in March 2020 that her son told her he would attempt “suicide by cop.” At the time, officials took a shotgun found at his home into custody, Marion County prosecutor Ryan Mears said Monday. And yet, later that year, Hole was able to legally purchase assault rifles.
The situation shows the limits of Indiana’s “red flag” law, Mears said. In Indiana, after the state has seized the firearm, it has 14 days to file a petition requesting the person be designated as having a violent propensity or mental instability. But because the gun from Hole’s home had been secured and the family didn’t want it back, the prosecutors at the time felt they “achieved” the objective of the law, Mears said. If the state had filed a petition, the court might have determined prosecutors didn’t have the legal authority to keep the weapon, Mears said.
Thus, no petition was filed. And four months later, Hole was able to purchase an assault rifle that he later used in the FedEx attack.
Yep. Trust the law.

Leftau while I am not Trump's biggest fan by far, I think there is something we all know. He was harassed from day one and as long as he was in office through the failed impeachments and the failure to pin charges of Russuan interference. The whole mess was a disgrace with a lot of lies and a failure to pin anything on the man. What a horrible waste of time and treasure. Yet in spite of all the harassment, he was able to accomplish more than Biden has been with cooperation.
And this entire disgrace was because he defeated Hillary Cinton. It kept her from the job she desired, something she dreamed of since she was a little girl. And it was her turn **** it.
And Leftau, an easily recognized fact is your carrying on with your constant Trump, Trump, Trump for going on 6 years now. Yep the self aggrandizing title of "Commonsense Matters" fits you worse than a saddle on a pregnant sow.

You are being deceptive, as the Senators did not find him guilty. Guilty requires a 2/3 majority. A majority voted to find him guilty but failed. The reason was the Democrats did not hold a 2/3 majority in the Senate. I have explained this to you probably 3 times, which apparently is too difficult for you to understand. As explained before. The reason Articles of Impeacchment were filed in the first place was the fact there was a majority of House Democrats that had been after him since shortly after his inauguration.
Trump was the 3rd Pres to be impeached which is nothing more than an indictment. Neither left office 10 minutes before their term was up. No President has sucessfully been impeached and found guilty and need removed from office in our history.
Water Boy, if you do not understand the process let me know and I can explain it for you again.
You have claimed impeachment and found guilty a number of times and continued to picture it falsley. What is it dumb or dishonest?
Then there is this "No exoneration, just republican dishonesty."
Leftau, there is the pronunciation of Guilty or Not Guilty in a trial. Was he guilty or not guilty by our laws? PS: I don't expect an honest answer.

Perfectly normal for an 80 year old. He's no more brain dead than you are. I watched his performance at the WHCD, he did fine, enjoyed it.
Sure you did too.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, May 1, 2023, at 8:02 PM
Not sure what the WHCD stands for but with assume it starts with White House. And no I did not watch this meeting whatever. But I have seen him in others. Also saw the one where he got his wife and his sister confused. I a m older than Biden, and I can easily see his confusion. And I have watched him stumble up the steps into Air Force One. I still go up and down steps in my home several times a day. I have watched guys more than 10 years older than Biden more mentally acute than he is.
They prevent him from answering teporter's questions for a reason.
I will put it another way. Biden is mentally suffering serious decline and unqualified to be zpresident of the United States. We do not need a 3rd party unelected party to be telling him what to do and say.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, May 1, 2023, at 10:58 PM
You claiming he's unqualified is just your opinion, nothing more. It appears you base that on him stumbling, various video clips where he misspoke on one thing or another, and an imaginary third party.
You're welcome to continue to believe whatever you like.

“See Victor Hanson column for specifics. Ah! Forgot. That’s wild conspiracy theories!!”
-- Posted by DA Braswell
You are correct. VD Hanson deals in conspiracies and half-truths.
Here are a couple of examples…
----- ---- --- -- -
VD Hanson claims…
“In other words, Dominion walked away with hundreds of millions of dollars on the accusation that some raving guests and a few Fox journalists insinuated, falsely, that the machines had thrown the election to Joe Biden.”
Not correct. Dominion won their case because they had proof of Fox hosts being fully aware that the accusations or insinuations presented were totally false, but Fox lied to their audience, only because they feared losing viewers.
----- ---- --- -- -
“Robert Mueller's $40 million, 22-month special counsel "investigation" leaked wild and lurid rumors of Trump indictments to come, and yet ultimately found no proof of collusion.”
The above is what VD Hanson claims. In fact Mueller found ample evidence of collusion, but there was not clear proof of a criminal conspiracy, as per the paragraph below:
“Mueller spent almost 200 pages describing “numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign.” He found that “a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.” He also found that “a Russian intelligence service conducted computer-intrusion operations” against the Clinton campaign and then released stolen documents.”
The election was free and fair. You, VD Hanson and Trump have no evidence of manipulation or fraud. The 60 cases that Trump supporters lost provide clear evidence.

"...think your silly Trump Trashing will change anybody's vote, pro or con..."
What I think is that telling the truth about Trump is worth every word.
What changes votes to "con" are the words and actions of Trump himself. It's apparent that each time he opens his mouth, he alienates more voters.

I have no objection to telling the truth about Biden.
Start with his success in passing bipartisan legislation to rebuild infrastructure, increase gun safety, the Chips bill to bring semiconductor manufacture back to America.
Don't ignore his ability to strengthen, unite and expand NATO to allow Ukraine to combat and repel Putin's illegal invasion and war crimes.
He has also united Japan and South Korea against North Korean and Chinese threats. That included Australia, India and Southeast Asia/Pacific allies.
In addition unemployment remains low, inflation is shrinking and job growth continues.
Add whatever accomplishments you see fit.

Joey Biden's Accomplishments:
$3.29 gal gas (local)
$4.00 gal. Diesel (local)
5.0% Inflation (5% or greater for 18 straight months)
8% Prime Interest Rate (Over 5% for 9 straight months
Open Southern Border that has allowed at least 4.6 million Illegal entries since 1/21/21
Failed Afghanistan Withdrawal that left behind over 500 Americans along with $83 billion worth of useable Military equipment
Given Ukraine over $100 billion in aid and Military equipment
More Covid Deaths in year 2021 than in year 2020
Joey Biden Laughing Stock of the World who can't put 2 intelligent sentences together, gaffes by the thousands, can't walk up the stairs of AF1 without tripping, shakes hands with "Invisible" folks, and can't get off the stage without help.....just to name a few!

DA, I just today received my notice of Real Estate assessment. Having done nothing in the way of improvement more than replacing a burned our light bulb, my assessment went up 35.82%. Dread looking at the assessment of my commercial building, but the insurance company raised the cost of rebuilding in case of a total loss by 18.2% as I remember it. Greater than 18 %, I do remember for sure.
Go to the grocery store and the bill you were paying Around $100 for is now $180 to $200.
And Leftau tries to tell us Biden is lowering inflation. Biden is obviously brain dead and doing what his puppeteers command of him. His actions bear out the brain dead part.

Left home at 18 and had $10 in my pocket. I was told, don't loose it. Still trying not to, but the Dims sure make it tough with the cost of a weeks worth of groceries. I still remember chicken at $0,19 per lb. Ate so much of it I couldn't look a chicken in the eyes. Don't know what it is now but a weeks worth of groceries can run you over $100. Neighbor lady is 95.

This, from VD Hanson's book is what's not rational....
"a 2019 book called The Case for Trump. Trump praised the book, in which Hanson defends Trump's insults and incendiary language as "uncouth authenticity", and praises Trump for "an uncanny ability to troll and create hysteria among his media and political critics."
Trump does not have an "authentic" (accurate or based in fact) bone in his body. I'd suggest that any defense of Trumpism is irrational.

Not to mention the drugs and criminal activity of some of these Fine folks.
In another matter is the Biden Crime Family that is now being looking into by Congressional Committees since the Biden corrupt FBI/DOJ won't investigate. The Democratic biased MSM remains silent and pretends to only give a ZZZZZZZ nod to any investigation on their part.

Leftau here is the help you so obviously need. I have tried telling you at least 3 times but with a skull as thick as yours the information doesn't appear to sink in. You continuously spout lies and misconceptions of the process.
1. The House by simple majority can file an Impeachment charge on a President.
2. The Senate holds a trial and instead of a Senate Member acting as judge as you said earlier, the Trial is conducted by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Perhaps because they do not trust a Partisan body to properly carry out the trial.
3. After the trial proceedings a vote of 2/3rds of the Senators can Judge the President at issue as guilty, not one vote less and the Vice President cannot break the tie.
Now my note, you are wrong Lefftau. Don't know where you were educated and don't care but I would ask for a refund if I were You. On the other hand, thank the Good Lord I am not you.

Leftau, I left out the part about you being as full of it as a Christmas Goose!!
Laughing at your poor understanding of the Constitution and lack of how it works.
PS, in Trump's case the Senate did not as judge vote to not remove him from office. If a President recieves a 2/3 majority to convict they have not the authority to as judge choose to not remove in from office as the Constitution says he is removed from office. Problem is, he did not receive the 2/3 maajority, 2/3 of the opposing party is totally meaningless unless they constitute that portion of the Senate.
We have had 3 Presidents charged with Impeachment, not a single one received the 2/3 majority to convict. One President was 1 vote shy and it was not Bill Clinton or
Donald Trump.
"The Senate as jury gave a majority, bipartisan verdict of guilty both times. The Senate as judge chose not to remove him from office, which is not a exoneration."
Leftau the above statement by you should be totally embarrassing as it shows your total lack of understanding of our system in this country. Just one more comment, the Senate was not the Judge if it meant anything. The Presiding Supreme Court Justice had to be the judge.
Do you need more education or will this one hold this time. I gave you 2 links to backups as you seem to not believe what I told you at least three times in the past.

Water Boy there have been 3 impeachments of Presidents tried. Not a single one succeeded.
In my mind they are a waste of time, because unless the opposing party has a 2/3 or better majority in the Senate their chances of removing a president are about 2,nothing.
The Democrats should have been smart enough to know that before they wasted all of that time and treasure, just like you they care more about the get Trump issue than they do for the people that sent them to Washington.

Here are some more details for Mr. VanGennip...
As I've known all along,
"The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict, and the penalty for an impeached official upon conviction is removal from office. In some cases, the Senate has also disqualified such officials from holding public offices in the future."
Where the Senate missed the boat is not applying the second sentence. This should have been a obvious outcome since in Trump's first impeachment the bipartisan majority vote was 51 to 49 finding him guilty. In the second impeachment (an unprecedented achievement) the bipartisan majority was 56 to 44, finding him guilty again.
In these cases, the failure to have the votes to convict is not a determination of innocence.
In the first, many republican Senators knew he was guilty of bribing a foreign official, but made the excuse of the crime not being "that serious."
In the second, even more republican Senators admitted he was guilty of inciting his "insurrection," but made the excuse of Trump having been voted out of office already. (I'm sure McConnell "kicks himself" daily for not having pushed to get enough votes to rid the country of him once and for all.)

I can safely predict that no rational American, no media, no comedians, no other nation, would suffer or be upset if Trump just went away.
And I would not count on Trump "not going away." Americans are too honest and freedom loving to put up with him again. It could be as simple as him going to jail, but if not, the republican party will eventually find a means to dump him.

"In these cases, the failure to have the votes to convict is not a determination of innocence."
Leftau that little statement by you shows how little you really know about how our country is set up and works.
There is the presumption of innocence until one is proven guilty. You can be indicted, as in an impeachment but you are and you remain as presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Perhaps you would like to try and convince us that a President is found guilty of an impeachemt short of the total 100 Senators vote and by a 2/3 majority. One of the impeached/indicted President's stayed in office for the lack of one more guilty vote. Check it out yourself which one it was.
You are horribly ignorant of how our country works. You once even claimed that the Senate acted as Judge and Jury until I had to enlighten you and let you know the judge was the Presiding member of the Supreme Court. You even made the stuquid statement that Trump was found guilty and the Senate refused to oust him. I had remind you our law says that if he is found guilty he is ousted as President. The Senate cannot at that point let him remain as President. I do not believe he left office even 10 minutes before his term was up.
You are such a know it all windbag, and you can come up with some of the dumbest statement at times. Like it or not, he still has the qualifications to run for President and there is nothing you can do about it but whine.
Keep it going Leftau, I am really busy at this point, but I really enjoy pointing out your errors. Perhaps the fact that I do enjoy it so much, you may strive to get the facts before you start pecking around on the keyboard with your erroneous claims.

Make it simple for you...
House impeachment managers, acting as the prosecution.
The Senators act as the jury and vote as to guilt
At the close of hearings the Senators act as judge to pronounce sentance. It requires 2/3's majority to convict. (This did not happen in Trump's 2 impeachments.)
The chief justice presides to make determinations on legal questions but is without vote.
There is no such thing as being "unimpeached."

Will correct your errors and point out your feeble effort to be correct.
"Make it simple for you...

"The Senators act as the jury and vote as to guilt"
"At the close of hearings the Senators act as judge to pronounce sentance. It requires 2/3's majority to convict. (This did not happen in Trump's 2 impeachments.)"
Responce: Yes the Senators are the Jury Find me one point in law where it says the Senators act as judge. That is not their job, they vote as to guilt or innocence of the impeached ment charges. There is no further judgement to be made. He is guilty and he ceases to be President according to our Constitution. He is innocent and he continues as President.
"The chief justice presides to make determinations on legal questions but is without vote."
Response: The Judge in a trial never votes! That is the job of the jury.
I gave you the information, you need to study it as it is written. There is no need for your interpretation it is pretty easy for one to understand with a normal IQ.
"There is no such thing as being "unimpeached.""
Response: Who said there was, the impeachment is an indictment, nothing more, nothing less.

Leftau based on some of your interpretations of how impeachment works, you might want to check the links above The Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the Trial of Impeachment and is therfore the JUDGE. The Senate does not act as the JUDGE. The Senate is merely the Jury who vote guilty or innocent and if there is a 2/3 majority vote of guilty the President is impeached. Period.
Short of a 2/3 vote he is Not guilty and life should go on. In this case the Democrats could not let it go and were defeated both times.

Three things Leftau.
As is written in our laws it is a presumption of innocence.
As is written in our law, in this case the opion of a simple majority proves nothing. Our wise founder took into account the political factor.
Lastly it lays bare to all your lack of reading comprehension if those links did not improve your understanding of our laws.
I take back the lastly part I have one more thing. Our founders did not comprehend someone in the future having such a hatred of a single man that they could not let go and would consequently lie and try to read into their laws, given to us, that are not there.

And I like the way you changed the subject which appears as if you finally realized you didn't know a thing about impeachment and it finally sunk through to you. Or don't you want to talk about impeachment any longer. I am perfectly willing to discuss Biden's mental acuity with you. After all he is the one who is unwilling to take the test that Trump passed.

Yep Biden is a "Sactred Cow" because he is a Democrat and Leftau won't hear anything about Biden that is not preapproved by the DNC.
Does sound a little like he may understand the Imppeachment process a little better and may even realizeThe two Impeachments/Indictments are a failure on the part of the Democratic House in being able to get him convicted in either case. They were total failures and a horrific waste of out taxpayer dollars when the House and the Senate could definitely put to better use of their time and our treasure. Just goes to show their lack of awareness of the process and what limited chances they had of getting it done. Leftau likes to blame it on Republicans but quickly overlooks the fact that it was Democrats who kept Clinton from being found guilty.
The correct term for an unsuccessful impeachment is the accused was acquitted.
Would you like to challenge that Leftau and tell me I am mistaken.
Or have you finally awakened to the way Impeachments are held?
And by the way, trying to draw the flack to something else when you have been proven to be so unaware and mistaken is a sophomoric gesture.

Family corruption? His son is being investigated by the FBI. We'll see what's proven. Other than that there is no proof of what really are conspiracy theories.

"The two Impeachments/Indictments are a failure on the part of the Democratic House in being able to get him convicted in either case."
"The Constitution's grant of the impeachment power to Congress is largely unchecked by the other branches of government. Impeachment is primarily a political process, in which judgments and procedures are left to the final discretions of the authorities vested with the powers to impeach and to try impeachments."
That this was not a legal process is probably what Mr. VanGennip ignores (among the other things he's mistaken on) when referring to "acquittal." The Constitution only refers to "removal from office." It also states:
"Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."
Seems to pave the way for Jack Smith.
There's also the separate oath Senators take and sign....
“Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, president of the United States, now pending, you will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws, so help you god?”
That doesn't seem to leave much room for republican Senators to decide the "crime wasn't that bad."

Leftau, I don't ever remember saying that. Would you like to show me?
I have said he was a better President by far than Biden and that is easily proven. Biden doesn't have a clue any more.
And then there is Hunter, got anything good to say about him. How about his trying to get his money back on his illegitimate child?
How about Ole Slo Joe trying to open up a legal defense fund for his son?
How about Biden opening up the border to all of the illegals flooding this country? That did not happen before Biden!
How about Hunter trying to sell his paintings for ridiculous prices without divulging the buyers?
How about Ole Slo Joe denying his 7th Grandchild.... you know, Hunter's love child?
You don't have to look very far to know we were better off under Trump than we are under Biden. You don't have to be all that "good" to beat Biden.
And Leftau, I don't have my own facts, My only facts come from what I read and what I hear on the news. Unlike yourself who decides to re interpret a very clearly written document like the article in our Constituion on Impeachment.
By the way have you done any reading and research to try and prove your convuluted idea of how it is done.
I gave you some pointers from the Constitution and what I had read, did that help your misconceptions since you apppear to suffer from reader comprehension?
So to sum it all up for you Uly, yes Trump did a better job of managing this country than Biden has by far. Was he a good President, I will let you and others decide for themselves. I think there were better and certainly worse as we are experiencing that with our currently mentally impaired Slo Joe Biden. You continue to refer to Trump any way you want and I will refer to our mentally impaired current President as I see fit.
PS: I won't be contributing to Hunter Biden's defense fund, unless Ole Slo Joe digs into our tax money illegally to fund it.

It appears to me that you are saying because the Democrats said so, the Republicans were obliged to go along with them. Perhaps it was the Democrat Senators that were in error. Were you there Leftau, do you have ALL of the facts
My opinion, that argument is ridiculously silly!
How about the Bill Clinton Impeachment, does this then mean all of the Democrat Senators violated their oath.
Oh **** I forgot again, Demcrats are beyond reproach. That's totally different it was a Democrat getting impeached so obviously the fact that he didn't get convicted means he wasn't guilty. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!
Leftau another matter, you simply cannot stand the fact that Trump was not found guilty. And then you challenge the usage of the word
Then you take issue with the use of the word aquitted. Well I was reading a bit of opinion from a man who I consider a whole lot more knowledgable on the subject than you or I and he used it.
I believe in a Trial, and it is indeed a trial that is being held in the case of an Impeachment charge which is basically and indictment, that if you are not found guilty of the charges by the jury in the numbers set forth by law, 2/3 in this case, you are found not guilty as charged which amounts to an aquittal. What else is it.
Tomorrow, I will go back and pull up the information as it was described in the Impeachment Trial for President Andrew Johnson after the Civil War.
Leftau, You are dancing on thin air trying to find something to nail me on after I pointed out all of your misconceptions last night.
I find your efforts flimsy and funny. Keep it up, I am enjoying it.
Out of here it is bedtime.
PS: Leftau I read your first sentence again. If Impeachment is not a legal process, pray tell me what the hell is it. You have a political party with a vendetta trying to remove a President of the United States of America's highest office and you do not consider it a legal process????
You embarrass yourself!

Mr. Braswell,
You landed on the "what," when accusing President Biden of "mental unfitness."
If you prefer to base your judgment on out of context, right-wing video clips, that's your privilege. But his speeches and interviews show him to be not a compulsive liar, not dishonest, not egotistical, not immoral, not narcissistic, not autocratic and not ignorant of relevant historical events and precedents.
These were all characteristics of his predecessor, which makes them relevant in evaluating Biden's "mental unfitness."

Mr. VanGennip, continues his futile defense of Trump by desperately trying claim his "innocence" by falsely equating his two impeachments to normal criminal trials.

Another thing DA, Leftau will be along to straighten your thinking out on the subject, soon as he figures out the Impeachment Process.
I think somebody did some forward thinking towards Ole Slo Joe getting the Laughing Heyena for a running mate. They are pretty sure nobody will want to impeach Ole Joe and wind up with her for a President.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, May 7, 2023, at 1:52 PM
And Leftau there are a couple of other things that link I gave you spells out.
* It is handled much as a regular trial.
* The members of the Senate are the Jury
* It takes of the vote of 2/3 of the members present to vote guilty otherwise the President is acquitted.
* The Chief Justice is the the Presiding Member or Judge if you will in the procedure.
* The Sitting President is found guilty, or he is acquitted, there are no in betweens.
* If he is found guilty, he is ousted from office and may hold no further office.
* If he is acquitted, life goes on, well unless you are vengeful Democrats then they try it all over again and fail miserably twice. And some Party Hack starts a thread in a newspaper and whines about it for the next couple of years. or so.
At least in the case of Clinton, once the Democrats refused to let him be found guilty and he was acquitted and that was the end of it.
Anything else I can help you with Water Boy?

Kamala Harris is,as Bob Ross calls it,”a happy accident”. Picked because she’s a “woman” ( whatever that is to a liberal)and they thought she was African American. Had no idea what a poor VP she would be but in the long run that “happy accident” turns out to be the best insurance policy Ol Joe has.

Mr. Braswell,
"...where anyone,anyone,said as you claim in quotes “good” about Trump..."
In various past posts Mr. VanGennip has credited Trump with being a "good" manager and/or administrator.
I have not seen the need to research this as it is something that Mr. VanGennip will surely confirm.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, May 7, 2023, at 3:43 PM
Mr. VanGennip,
"...continuation of your education on impeachment..." is both meaningless and inconsequential, and any significance exists only in your vivid imagination.
I can guarantee you that nothing you have posted on impeachment is both relevant and something that I was not already aware of.
My point from the beginning was simply that bipartisan majorities of Senators found him guilty in both impeachments. That republicans “rescued” him from well deserved removal was never going to be a surprise.
The one other issue that you prefer to ignore is the last paragraph of the Constitution's Article 1 Section 3:
"Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."
This among other things, is what the Special Prosecutor will pursue, particularly when armed with the detailed proof of guilt that the House Managers can provide.

Best I remember it I said something to the effect that Trump was a better administrator than Biden. I stand by that.
You don't have to be a Good President to be a better Administrator than Biden who is neither a good President or a Good Administrator.
Sorry Uly, you cannot change what I say to make your point. Get it correct the first time!

That's right Water Boy, don't confuse you with facts as you already as a Know It All, already know everything there is to kow about anything.
I will remind you of this though. Those self interpretations of yours mean nothing when it comes down to the written law.
You tried to act as if was not akin to a normal trial, that was proven wrong in what I gave you.
You didn't like the idea that Trump was acquitted but the information I gave you points that out. I gave you the location of the pargraph that states it.
Was it to hard for you to find the paragraph and the statement. Maybe you can find a 7 year old kid to help you.
From you statements yesterday it was very obvious you didn't know what you were talking about. You are welcome for the help. It was free, I don't charge the really helpless. Instead I feel sorry for them.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, May 7, 2023, at 6:23 PM
Oh and Leftau, for your information, which seems lacking as you keep repeating it, whatever the 100% of the Democrats and a couple of Trump enemies voted to do, even if it was a simple majority means not a damned thing as the Constitution says it was not a guilty verdict without 2/3 of the Senators Present's vote. Which in a trial and that is what it basically was means he was acquitted. Like it or not that is the way it was.
Nobody really cares about what you would like it to be, it is what it is and the law of the land is what it is!!
Now so far as a criminal trial down the road, I guess we will see if or not it happens and if it happens what the outcome will be. I am sure you are hoping they get him on something more serious than ripping the tag off his mattress.
Need any more help, it's free to the poor and helpless, today only.

Leftau, that's funny. I don't have a version, I take my information from the Constitution and our laws.
But I will give you an opportunity to explain your version of Impeachment. Why not start off with your explanation of Trump's proven guilt. And please don't embarrass yourself with something silly, like a simple majority of the Senators said so. The constitution doesn't give a Tinker's **** about a simple majority, they said 2/3rds and they did not have it in Trump's case, Clinton,s Case or in Andrew Johnson's Case. So there has never been a successful Impeachment in this Country's History. All accused President's were acquitted and continued to serve out their terms. Not one of them left early. Those are facts Leftau, not some of your suppositions.
You make long for it, you may whine about it, you may slander the truth, but Trump was not found guilty by a 2/3rds majority of the Senator's present, no body cares about your simple majority of Democrats and a couple of rogue Republicans, he was acquitted and there is not a damned thing you can do about it, but continue your fanatical whining.
Capeesh??

Or possibly the guilt of not being accepting of facts when they are presented to you.
Trump is no more guilty in the eyes of the law than Bill Cliinton Was.
Trump's biggest guilt in the eyes of a Dedicated Democrat is, he kicked Hillsry Clinton's behind at the polls in 2016, and to go along with that, he was an educated Democrat because he wised up and left the Democratic Party years ago.

Leftau, I don't remember making a determination of guilt or innocence on the part of Trump.
So far as the 2nd impeachment, it had as the first one did, all of the appearances of a let's get even with Trump for beating Hillary with it. Hell, they were after him from inauguration day in 2017.
How do you feel about the Democrats continued failures Leftau.

Ah Yes, the riot charge. First of all, I am not buying full blown riot. There was thousands of people there not taking part in it. The actions of some bad actors who were there were wrong, no doubt. Did Trump create those bad actors' bad behaviour, I was not there but I doubt it. Why didn't everybody there get involved if that were true. I personally never knew it was taking place until I spoke to someone who was there and left at the first sound of glass breaking along with the entire busload of people from Missouri. His description of the event and my looking at the reruns was a lot of people milling around and some looking specifically like plants. Most of the TV pictures I saw there were people just milling around.
Leftau you may not have anything but anti trump and politics on your mind but I do. already waste too much tme on these threads but do it for recreation only. I have a sick wife to attend to although my daughters have insisted that we hire some help which has taken a load off me. Besidews that I manage a building that I planned the design work for and worked to pay for before retirement so that I would have income into retirement so I was not just one more on the government teat. Plus I have my hobby of genealogy which has been on hold for five years because of a lack of time. I personally pay all of the bills for that building, which is then recompensated through rent and monthly percentage payments of one client's percentage of the Triple Net Lease he is on. This creates a bookkeeping chore for me with that client's arrangement and a final settlement of who owes who at year end. I am 4 score and 5 Leftau and spend several hours daily at my desk doing these chores. Along with that, you provide me with my entertainment as I find some time. Please keep the entertaining material coming. It breaks up an otherwise dull afternoon and makes the pittance I pay for my newspaper subscription, taken so I could keep up with the obituaries worth while.

Mr. VanGennip,
Consider this, I ask a simple yes or no question, and you come back with a 386 word reply that still didn’t answer the question. No wonder you aren’t able to get things done.
“Did Trump create those bad actors' bad behaviour, I was not there but I doubt it.”
Your “doubting it” means, among other things, that you may be unaware that…
----- ---- --- -- -
Trump repeatedly lied during the campaign claiming “the only way we lose is if it’s rigged.”
His big lie spawned among other thing a “stop the steal” movement.
From days after the election results were finalized, his “supporters” were seeking ways to overturn the legitimate Biden victory.
Trump reached out to his “cult” commanding their presence at a rally in Washington DC on January 6th, proudly claiming “it will be wild.”
He demanded his January 6th rally participants to go to the capital and fight like hell or you won’t have a country any more.
Of the 2000 or so, rioters engaged in the insurrection over 600 have been convicted with more to come.
Conspired with various right wing, white supremacist groups including the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers (both of which had members already convicted of seditious conspiracy).

Any idea where that places you in the realm of superiority.
I asked you a question a few minutes ago, don't want to answer I suppose, or cannot think of anything cute to say. The question is open if you decide to respond.
I for one am tired to death of your superior attitude. But you can be amusing at times. Laughing at your frustration at this moment.

You didn’t, but if you had….
You asked: Is there any legal outcome that could bar Trump from running?
"The Constitution does not bar a person convicted of a crime from serving as president. Former president Donald Trump, who was twice impeached by the House of Representatives, was not convicted by the Senate in either case. In December, the final report of the Jan. 6 committee recommended Trump be barred from ever serving in public office again over possibly inciting that day’s insurrection.
"Trump was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in March by a Manhattan grand jury. He’s also facing potential charges in Georgia over efforts to overturn the results of the state’s 2020 presidential election. The Justice Department is conducting an investigation into his handling of classified documents that may also result in charges.
"Perhaps most notably, the Justice Department is also investigating Trump’s role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election and could charge him with “engaging in insurrection or rebellion,” which would disqualify him from office under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, though the federal government very rarely brings that type of charge. But when it comes to Trump, we’re in very uncharted legal territory."

Here's the simple question that has him stumped.
"Do you believe that Trump is innocent of the charge brought by his second impeachment?"
Is this something you can answer?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, May 8, 2023, at 9:36 PM
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, May 8, 2023, at 9:22 PM
Leftau, I will try to keep this to 25 words or less.
Who gives a crap about all of that. He has been convicted of exactly nothing and it is highly unlikely that he will be.
As I said to another Poster some time back. I am not in favor of Trump running again, because the BS in this country has got to come to a halt, and that is on the Democrats part due to their constant harassment of him since Jan 20, 2017.
In spite of that he did a much better job of running the country than Brain Function Deprived Biden has.
We need new candidates and a new start, this continuous BS that has been going on for the past 6 years has to come to a stop for the good of this country. And I hope that voters in 2024 are smart enough to see what has been going on.
I am a Conservative American, I have always been a Conservative American and have no intention of changing that for the Socialistic, Leftist, Communistic thinking Democrat Policies in my lifetime.
Have I spoken clearly enough yet for you to understand Leftau?
I have nothing but disgust for those who have no other goal for this country other than to prosecute, litigate, and hate the past President.
Do you understand??

One other aspect you're likely to be unaware of is that at least one of the white supremacists (PB/OK) was not physically present in Washington but was also found guilty of seditious conspiracy.
What that means is that Trump as the "mob boss" could also be charged with seditious conspiracy. His not being in the Capital is no longer an excuse.

Ok Blowhard, on the one hand you have been suggesting Trump was inviting people to Washington DC. On the other hand you are trying to say they had no right to be there.
I believe as President of the United States, if Trump says they had the right to be there, any other clerk up there did not have the right to shut things down. I was not there, so it does not affect me.

As mentioned several times, you really have no concept of what took place.
Trump invited his mob to a rally on the Washington Elipse. Only then did he order them to go to the Capital, which was closed because of the Vice-President and Congress were verifying the EC vote.
And that's exactly what wanted to disrupt.

I don't have any. I don't defend either Clinton. Bill perjured himself over sexual improprieties. Hillary paid insufficient attention to e-mail management and to campaigning in swing states. The 2016 election was hers to lose and she did. Neither one of them instigated an illegal insurrection in an attempt to overturn a fair and honest election.

Looks like Ms Reade does indeed have the brass to tell the truth. She’s been invited to testify before congress.
A little excerpt from her pre-testimony:
"I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden," Reade wrote Sunday afternoon. "Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work."
"I am not suicidal," she added.

"Trump held liable for sexual battery, defamation in E. Jean Carroll lawsuit
"A jury ordered former President Trump on Tuesday to pay a total of $5 million in damages to writer E. Jean Carroll for sexual abuse and defamation in a civil suit.
"The latest: Both Trump and his defense lawyer Joe Tacopina said the former president would appeal the jury's decision.
"Driving the news: The jury found that Trump did sexually abuse Carroll but did not determine that he raped her.
"What they're saying: "No one is above the law, not even a former President of the United States," Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's counsel, said in a statement after the verdict.
Keep in mind that the jury did not find any evidence of innocence.

You know that I know that you meant convicted when you posted it. If you were being truthful then why use the word if when caught you suddenly change your intent. Wish it all you want just be honest.
BTW-speaking of honesty did you find where I said Trump was innocent?

Ruh Ro!
Trump is now a convicted sexual abuser. If you don't believe it, look it up for yourself.

Those were invisible ones because it was late. (You're right, I forgot in the first post.)
They showed up a little more than 12 hours later.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, May 10, 2023, at 6:52 PM
Invisible ones? That’s a new one. Thx for the laugh.
Now,did you find where I said Trump was innocent or whatever the accusation was or did you read some “invisible “ posting?

Invisible ones, like when Joey tries to shake hands with someone who isn't there. LOL
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Wed, May 10, 2023, at 7:48 PM
I just asked a question, Mr. Braswell, nothing more.
So, again, do you believe he was innocent?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, May 10, 2023, at 8:24 PM
Leftau, how is it you get away with demanding answers to questions yet you never give an honest answer? One waiting for you on the Biden lies thread.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, May 10, 2023, at 9:02 PM
No kidding Mr V. He wants an answer to a question that he says I made a statement about that he can’t produce. Now that’s the fantasy world he’s always accusing others of living in.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Wed, May 10, 2023, at 9:15 PM
Uly don't forget tomorrow morning at 8:30am Central Time if you wamt to catch what they have to say about the Biden Crime Family. No less than 9 of them sharing in the proceeds. No doubt some of us will want clarifications on some of the statements made. I will post this on the other thread also, so you won't miss it.

DA, I know what you are saying. He wants a yes or no answere so I resond with a complete answer and that doesn't please him.
I think tomorrow morning there are going to be some answers if or not there are questions. I think Biden's mouth has overloaded his backside.

Whoa,there Skippy. I’m thinking that somewhere you said something about you being polite and respectful. So much for that.

So what are you considering "disrespectful?"
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, May 11, 2023, at 7:59 AM
Furthermore, I've never said a word about a "...quick dismissal of women accusers of Biden."
If they want to make their case in court, that's available to them.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, May 11, 2023, at 8:37 AM
"...never give an honest answer."
I don't recall any questions on this thread that I've failed to answer honestly.
If you find one that I missed, show me where it is and I'll answer it.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, May 11, 2023, at 8:50 AM
I’ll ask once more. What happened to that disrespectful post just before the one at 12:39am that makes no sense without the preface of the earlier one calling into question my intelligence?
Seems just asking will also disappear?
You report yourself or did the moderator find you so distasteful it was removed?
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Thu, May 11, 2023, at 9:27 AM
I didn't remove it nor was it, as I remember, disrespectful or distasteful.
Also, I have no reason to question your intelligence. Why would you think that?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, May 11, 2023, at 9:42 AM
You wrote it. Explain the meaning. Was it possibly another one of your invisible posts?
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Thu, May 11, 2023, at 12:03 PM
The gist of the meaning was that you appear too intelligent to repeat unfounded or unsubstantiated statements or accusations.
One other issue from above...
Quotation marks can be used to show sarcasm. More specifically, they can be used to convey the idea of "so-called," "alleged," or "supposed." When used for this purpose, quotation marks are sometimes referred to as scare quotation marks.
As in "conviction."

Is that an example of liberal “mansplaining” or an admission you wrote something and trying to take it back?

No. There's nothing to take back.

"No problem here." Exactly what I've maintained from the start.
Funny how some can create an imaginary issue, demand resolution, then pretend a response was insufficient.
The "mouthing off" was what exactly?

Not an “ism” by any stretch of a normal imagination.
You should get back to current events like investigating the Biden Family Mafia Crime Syndicate. Hunter and his plea of being destitute to avoid child support is about to blow the whistle on the whole gang. That’s what low life’s do to save themselves.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Thu, May 11, 2023, at 7:14 PM
I'd suggest that "...what low life's do to save themselves..." is hold phoney CNN political rallies to repeat and expand an entire stack of lies.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, May 11, 2023, at 7:54 PM
Trump has has one indictment under way and a minimum of 3 pending.
Biden has none, with only Hunter under investigation.
Those are the current events that deserve attention.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, May 11, 2023, at 8:09 PM
Biden has none, with only Hunter under investigation.
Lettau, not yet! Any non-partisan FBI/DOJ, would already had the whole Biden Gang Indicted!

BBBB-Trump!

Mr Schaefer,
"...the whole Biden gang indicted!"
I'm sure you're correct in concluding that the Biden family "crimes" occurred while he was Vice-President.
Of course this means that the Trump FBI/DOJ had a full 4 years to charge, indict and convict all Biden "criminals."
The fact that they did not, suggests very conclusively that there was no proof or evidence of actual crimes.

Would that not hold true also for Trump with the exception of one indictement? He was found Not Guilty in the two impeachments.
So all of your yammering about the Trump Crimes is a nothing burger Leftau.

Lettau, it wasn't until the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell surfaced in early Oct. 2020 that there were any "Hard" evidence on the Biden Crime Family - much too late for any Trump FBI/DOJ Investigation. Lettau you might want to get current with reality and wake up to the Truth....you are always gullible to the DNC Talking Points!!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Fri, May 12, 2023, at 12:19 PM
Show me a place where the so-called wheels of justice turn slower than DC.
6 years of negligence to their elected base chasing Trump and what has been done? One she said/he said civil lawsuit.
Trump found out too late that “draining the swamp” is impossible. It’s way deeper and filled with dark and dangerous waters than he ever conceived. The swamp creatures don’t take lightly to an outsider roiling their waters.
Going after Biden was a dead end fighting the Democratic Mafia. Same for Clinton.
It’s about time the Biden family was investigated by the House majority but the Senate will kill any attempt to impeach. I’m sure if that happens Mr Lettau will tell us what a glorious system is in place.

Mr. Braswell,
“…that “draining the swamp” is impossible. It’s way deeper and filled with dark and dangerous waters than he ever conceived.”
Do you actually know anyone that believes this kind of foolishness, which has been clearly popularized by a bizarre collection of conspiracy theorists.
The vast majority of government employees pass seamlessly and non-politically from administration to administration. For example, a relatively senior civilian at the start of the Trump administration, had likely served successfully since the middle of the administration of President George H. W. Bush.
Then supposedly at the start of the Trump term, they were all seduced into some manner of “cabal” acting against him. There’s simply no such thing as a “deep state.”

Trump Revives Election Lies and False Boasts in CNN Town Hall
“Former President Donald J. Trump misleadingly and wrongly described his own record, the events of Jan. 6, 2021, his handling of classified documents, foreign policy and the economy.
“Former President Donald J. Trump gave false or misleading answers on immigration policy, the economy and a woman whom a jury found he sexually abused.
“Former President Donald J. Trump almost immediately began citing a litany of falsehoods Wednesday night during a town hall-style meeting in New Hampshire broadcast on CNN.
After incorrectly characterizing the 2020 presidential election as “rigged,” Mr. Trump repeated a number of other falsehoods that have become staples of his political messaging. He misleadingly and wrongly described his record, the events of Jan. 6, 2021, his handling of classified documents, foreign policy, immigration policy, the economy and a woman whom a jury found he sexually abused.
Here’s a fact check of some of his claims.
WHAT WAS SAID
“We got 12 million more votes than we had — as you know — in 2016.”
This is misleading. Mr. Trump received 74 million votes in the 2020 presidential election, 12 million more than he received in the 2016 election. But, of course, President Biden received even more votes in 2020: 81 million.
WHAT WAS SAID
Former Vice President Mike Pence “should have put the votes back to the state legislatures, and I think we would have had a different outcome.”
This is false. The vice president does not have the power or legal authority to alter the presidential election, as Mr. Pence has repeatedly and correctly noted.
A House committee investigating the attack on the Capitol found that John Eastman, a conservative lawyer who was the chief architect of Mr. Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, had admitted to Mr. Trump two days before Jan. 6 that his plan to have Mr. Pence to halt the vote certification process was illegal.
WHAT WAS SAID
“This woman, I don’t know her. I never met her. I have no idea who she is.”
This is false. A Manhattan jury on Tuesday found that Mr. Trump had sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll, a writer. Regardless of whether Mr. Trump remembers meeting Ms. Carroll, there is clear evidence that the two have met: a black-and-white photo of the two along with their spouses at the time.
WHAT WAS SAID
“We created the greatest economy in history. A big part of that economy was I got you the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country, bigger than the Reagan cuts.”
This is false. Average growth, even before the coronavirus pandemic battered the economy, was lower under Mr. Trump than under Presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan.
Nor were the tax cuts Mr. Trump signed into law in 2017 the “biggest” ever. According to a report from the Treasury Department, the 1981 Reagan tax cut is the largest as a percentage of the economy (2.9 percent of gross domestic product) and by the reduction in federal revenue (a 13.3 percent decrease). The Obama tax cut in 2012 amounted to the largest cut in inflation-adjusted dollars: $321 billion a year. By comparison, Mr. Trump’s 2017 tax cut was about $150 billion annually and amounted to about 0.9 percent of gross domestic product.
Mr. Trump also claimed to have presided over “zero” inflation. Although some months had zero inflation or even price declines as the coronavirus pandemic hit, the Consumer Price Index increased 1.2 percent overall in 2020, the last full year he was in office, and had risen at a 1.4 percent annual rate in January 2021, his last month as president.
WHAT WAS SAID
“I built the wall. I built hundreds of miles of wall and I finished it.”
This is false. The Trump administration constructed 453 miles of border wall over four years, and a vast majority of the new barriers reinforced or replaced existing structures. Of that, about 47 miles were new primary barriers. The United States’ southwestern border with Mexico is over 1,900 miles, and during his campaign, Mr. Trump had vowed to build a wall across the entire border and make Mexico pay for it. Mexico did not pay for the barriers that had been constructed.
WHAT WAS SAID
“I got with NATO — I got them to put up hundreds of millions of dollars that they weren’t paying under Obama and Bush and all these other presidents.”
This is misleading. Under guidelines for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, members agreed to commit a minimum of 2 percent of G.D.P. on their own defense, but few nations actually do so. They do not “pay” the alliance directly.
NATO members agreed that nations currently not meeting the 2 percent goal would do so in the next decade, and that nations meeting it would continue to do so — but they made this pledge in September 2014, years before Mr. Trump became president.
“And the reason for this is not Donald Trump — it’s Vladimir Putin, Russia’s actions in Crimea and aggressive stance,” said Ivo H. Daalder, a NATO ambassador under President Barack Obama, previously told The New York Times.

DA, Leftau always leaves out the part where the Senate refusing to Find Guilty in modern times began with the Clinton Impeachment and the Dims ganged up and refused to find him guilty.
Biden figures it is ok for the Dimocrats to plaY that game but totally wrong if the Republicans follow in their footsteps.
The sad part for the taxpayers is that the Dimocrats appear to be slow learners and had to waste time and treasure on doing it twice.
Schiff and others lies failed twice the way I see it.

More fabricated senseless "hatred" claims by Mr. VanGennip.
The fact is that Trump was not removed from office, in spite of being voted guilty by a majority of Senators.
The evidence they based the guilty verdict on is now in the Special Prosecutor's hands, along the findings of the January 6th committee.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, May 13, 2023, at 7:45 PM
Mr. Braswell,

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, May 13, 2023, at 8:02 PM
"The fact is that Trump was not removed from office, in spite of being voted guilty by a majority of Senators."
1. "Trump was not removed from office".
Definitely a fact
2."in spite of being voted guilty by a
majority of Senators."
Yes by 100% of the Democrats and a couple of RINOs! Which means they did not get 2/3rds majority and he was acquitted twice.
Hatred is a powerful motivator and makes people do ridiculously dumb things.
Like trying impeachment twice in a row knowing they had failed the first time and did not have the votes to do it a 2nd time, so failed again.
Leftau, I suggest Ole Slo Joe will be in the caged hotel long before Trump will.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, May 13, 2023, at 9:03 PM
The two impeachments were for two different crimes.
The real republicans did vote guilty.
It was Trump republicans that voted not guilty, but only because he was already on his way out of office.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, May 13, 2023, at 11:21 PM
Leftau, you may not have figured this out yet, it seems as if Democrats are slow learners.
You cannot convict a Democrat without pretty much 2/3 Republican Senate.
And you cannot convict a Republican without pretty much a 2/3 Democrat Senate.
That was proved already 3 times now in current history starting with Bill Clinton and since the Democrats are slow learners they had to do it twice to figure it out.
I believe the current situation with Biden needs to be handled in the courts. Impeaching him would be another waste of time unless the Republicans hold a 2/3rds senate majority they are whistling Dixie. The Dims would never let it happen.
He should do the decent thing and resign as it is easy to see he is not mentally fit to be President of our Country. But I do not see that happening either.

Leftau, you didn't ask me but I am going to tell you anyway. Let's see who was President then...... hmmm. Could it have been Obama maybe?
But here could have been a good amount of the screwups...
"U.S. security personnel working in Libya later say they recommended adding more security in the months preceding the attack, but the requests were turned down. A local militia leader says he warned U.S. officials of the deteriorating security in Benghazi on Sept. 9. Stevens arrives in Benghazi on Sept. 10 for meetings."
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, May 14, 2023, at 12:04 AM
The US Africa Command had an 8 man Special Forces style security force in being to provide personal protection for the Ambassador.
He declined their deployment because he wanted to demonstrate trust in his Libyan allies.
There are probably more facts that you're equally unaware of, Mr.VanGennip.

Leftau, unlike you I don't even come close to thinking that I know everything. Come to think of it in spite of your self assurance that you know everything, there may be a thing or two you do not know.
So far as the ambassador declining protection, one would have to assume he made a stupid mistake.
None of which has to do with the embassy requesting more protection which was not forthcoming. Capeesh?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, May 14, 2023, at 12:44 PM
Mr. Braswell,
My point was that I don't agree it's any "people's trends," any more than white supremacy is " your people's trends."
I'm going to conclude that you've never heard anyone use those terms either.

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Sun, May 14, 2023, at 2:09 PM
Mr. VanGennip,
Clearly I've never claimed to "know everything" and have never had reason to do so.
But there are things that I know are factual, and your not liking then is in no way my problem.
Another example my be that the embassy very likely did receive more protection, however as the embassy is in Tripoli, it didn't help Ambassador Steven's in Benghazi.

-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Sun, May 14, 2023, at 2:23 PM
Mr. Braswell,
Seems you're missing my point...
I'm asking if you, personally, ever heard anyone using the term "birthing people?"
And I'm certain that I never have, and since the term "mother" covers the concept perfectly, there's no reason for me to use the term.
What new term goes into some obscure written "guidance" is irrelevant to me.
You've got my permission to avoid using the term.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, May 14, 2023, at 2:40 PM

What you call "out of touch," I call common sense.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, May 14, 2023, at 3:16 PM
So you agree Biden has no common sense.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Sun, May 14, 2023, at 4:28 PM
Not at all. I've never heard him use the term "birthing person," have you?
That it appears in a current document does not mean that saying "mother" is against the law.
As I said before, if you like the term, feel free to use it, I don't.

I find it very noble of Leftau to give you permission fot anything. In as much as he seems to be setting himself up to dispense such permissions.
Here I was thinking this was a free country and we could say most anything we pleased.
Wonder if I have the permission to speak freely and to issue a comment that him giving any one of us permission to do anything places him in the position of being a pompous ***.

Is that a fact Leftau?

The Trump rally in Iowa was canceled, supposedly because of a severe weather warning, but more probably due to a lack of interest.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, May 15, 2023, at 9:44 AM
Misinformation Lettau, here is a local newspaper with he weather report. Also the Weather Channel listed a Tornado and locally high winds in the area.....guess your made up Misinformation bombed again.

There was no tornado, right.

That was a pre-rally crowd prior to the cancelation.
There is no valid evidence of Trump's popularity increasing. He's already lost the vast bulk of independents, and is rapidly losing ground with normal republicans.

Mr. Braswell,
There was no argument. This was merely an excellent opportunity to highlight an example of Trump's declining audience and approval.
Here's another example of this point....
----- ---- --- -- -
Biden beats Trump big, loses to DeSantis: 2024 polls
“President Biden would handily defeat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 Electoral College — but lose to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to a new analysis of national and state polling.
“According to WPA intelligence, which examined seven national popular vote polls since mid-February, the 76-year-old Trump would lose to Biden by an average of 3.1%, while DeSantis, 44, would win the popular vote over the incumbent by an average of 1.2%
Wonder who screaming for that reporter to stop as he pulled out the earpiece?
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, May 15, 2023, at 5:58 PM
So what's your take? Durham's going in assignment was to find Clinton and various others guilty of unspecified crimes.
He ended up putting 3 low level officials on trial, with 2 acquitted and 1 plea bargained out.
He was also supposed to expose the FBI investigation into Trump. As it turned out the FBI was investigating only Russians and ended up indicting a dozen or more Russian agents.
One crime Durham and Barr did learn about was from an Italian government official who revealed they had possible evidence of financial crimes
attributed to Trump. Needless to say Durham did not pursue this lead.

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, May 15, 2023, at 7:24 PM
If the weather prediction could endanger the audience he would postpone.
In my opinion, if the crowd was small, Biden would appear anyhow, Trump would cancel due to crowd size.

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, May 16, 2023, at 5:22 AM
Mr. Braswell,
At times you make it difficult to see which side of the reality fence you're on.
For example, Mr. Schaefer claims that 5 million illegals have come here in just over two years.
In just using a 5 million number, many have come across the border but have been returned, a large number of them are legally here awaiting asylum judgments, many are in custody and will be sent back.
In any case, the reality is that there are not 5 million "new illegals" here.
If you prefer you can accept Mr. Schaefer's statistics without question.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, May 16, 2023, at 9:45 AM
You know I wasn’t talking about Truth Slingers post. But then again changing the subject usually suits you.

I'd gladly concur that it's great that no one was injured in Des Moines. Your referring to what a "...normal considerate human being... might say wasn't made clear. I've never expressed any nor had any animosity toward Trump supporters.

More Trump craziness....
‘This Was a Coup’: Trump Claims He Was the Victim of Overthrow Attempt
"Former President Donald Trump, who famously incited an insurrection that sought to overturn the 2020 election results, claimed he was the victim of a “coup” attempt.
Appearing on Tuesday’s edition of The Dan Bongino Show, Trump was asked about a potential second term should his 2024 candidacy land him back in the White House.
“Can we get a promise from you for a housecleaning?” Dan Bongino asked, a day after Special Counsel John Durham released his report concluding the FBI went too far when investigating Trump’s possible ties to the Russian government. “We need everybody gone who cannot pledge allegiance to the Constitution and pledges allegiance to the Democrat party first.”
“Don’t forget, I did houseclean–I fired a lot of people,” replied Trump, who called for the “termination” of the Constitution in December. “But the deep state goes deep.”
Trump then bragged he fired former FBI Director James Comey, whose agency initiated the investigation into Trump.
“It was a great firing,” he said. “They were looking to do real bad–this, this was a coup that they were looking at. These are sick people. So, yeah. Only a fool would not do that. You have to do a deep–not only there. You have to do it in a lot of other locations.”
"The former president then blasted Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is probing Trump’s efforts to stay in power after he lost the 2020 election, as well as his illegal retention of government documents after he left office.
“I call him the special persecutor, not prosecutor,” Trump continued. “Persecutor because persecutor’s worse. But Jack Smith, he continues to go after Trump. The phony boxes hoax. And if you take a look at Biden, Biden’s got boxes all over the place.”
"Trump called Smith’s probe “a continuation of the same hoax.”

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Thu, May 18, 2023, at 2:35 PM
Leftau, it doesn't matter if there are 300 or 5,000,000 the expulsions would be close to 100$ if Trump was still President. Brain Dead Biden took care of that issue within hours of being swore in with one of those EO's written by someone else as he hasn't the brain left to do it himself.
The facts are these, Trump has too big of a mouth and alienated a lot of people. Biden has too small of a brain and is not capable of runing this country without some Puppet Masters. A further truth, economically, and illegals wise, we were much better off with Trump in the White House even if meant another 4 years of the Democrats trying to outs him and failing at every turn.
Those are my opinions and I think would be agreed with by most people with an honest interest in the American People.

He can easily afford his level of taxes, what with all of the Chinese and Other Entities paying millions into the Biden family do nothng companies. 5% for the big guy can add up rather quickly. You know 5% of 10,000,000.00 puts you in there for about $500,000.00. Would certainly pay my taxes for a few days.

Another Braswellism. Not your best, but qualifies.
However, I appreciate you posting a link to further prove my point.
Mr. Schaefer feels that 5 million more illegals are in our country.
Your link points out that of the 5 million mentioned, 3.9 million were apprehended, which means they either were processed for asylum, or returned to Mexico. That brings the number that could be here to about a million.
In any case, the clear solution is for Congress to take action to reform current immigration laws the permit all asylum seekers to enter the country.
Thanks sgain.

Next we will be hearing from the Democrats, we must let these people vote!
A man long ago passed, but who I had the greatest respect for, told me once, there is no excuse for being poor. Work your way out of it. This man raised himself from the slums, ghetto, whatever you want to call it to the position of National Sales Manager of a major corporation.

Some interesting observation for Mr. VanGennip...
From Mr. Wier
How would things be different if Trump hadn't been elected?
Hillary wouldn’t have doubled the deficit in year one.
She wouldn’t have spent a century of Presidential salaries on golf trips.
She wouldn’t have sided with hostile dictators against our own intelligence agencies.
She wouldn’t have started a trade war that bankrupted American farmers and killed almost 2,000 American manufacturing plants and 300,000 American jobs.
She wouldn’t have signed a tax bill that immediately cut economic growth by two thirds.
She wouldn’t have shut down the government for the longest period of time in history because the Republican Senate wouldn’t fund a border wall.
She wouldn’t have tried to bribe the Ukrainian President to coerce him to help her smear Joe Biden.
She wouldn’t have wasted millions (if not billions) needlessly rebranding part of the Air Force to look like a Star Trek parody.
She wouldn’t have freed 5,000 Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan.
She wouldn’t have spent three years dismantling the pandemic response team.
She wouldn’t have resisted all efforts to make the country safe during a global pandemic.
She wouldn’t have threatened to withhold the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia to force OPEC to slash production by 25% for two years because she thought low gas prices were bad for America.
She wouldn’t have glorified hate groups and white supremacists.
She wouldn’t have set records for indictments, guilty pleas, and criminal convictions by members of an administration.
She wouldn’t have been banned from every major social media platform.
She wouldn’t have illegally withdrawn troops from Afghanistan in violation of the National Defense Authorization Act.
She wouldn’t have added more to the national debt in one year than Ronald Reagan added in two full terms, and she wouldn’t have added more in one term than both Bushes combined to add in twelve years.
And if she lost her re-election bid, she wouldn’t have incited an insurrection and attempted a coup to stay in power.

Of course, sadly enough, we got Trump, but then this happened...
In his first year, Biden passed his Rescue Plan which invested in helping schools and businesses reopen despite a worsening global pandemic. That year we saw the largest cut to the deficit in a President’s first year, the largest peacetime drop in unemployment, the best GDP growth in four decades, the most jobs created or recovered in a year, the most new business startups in a year, and the Dow set a record for most records set in a year. He also passed the most significant infrastructure bill since the Interstate Highway System, which is projected to create as many as 19 million jobs. In year two, he made the largest cut to the deficit in history. He signed a bill to let Medicare negotiate prescription drug prices for the first time in history, capped the cost of insulin, signed the CHIPS Act, and signed a bill to protect our elections from future coup attempts. Now we’re early in year three, but so far we’ve seen almost 11 million jobs added to the economy, inflation is falling, he’s cut the deficit yet again, and we have the lowest peacetime unemployment since before the Great Depression.
or this...

Mr. Braswell,
Whether you're aware of it or not, Clinton is sure to know she lost, and why.
The reasons are abundantly clear, she paid insufficient attention to a number of swing states, and was overly paranoid regarding email traffic. Comey's last minute reopening of an investment didn't help, but the "Russian thing" had nothing to do with it.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, May 19, 2023, at 6:07 PM
For some reason the Clinton duo always escapes. They are an oily slimey couple that can wiggle out every time. Bound to have a little black book on their enemies.

If you support that kind of people have at it.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Fri, May 19, 2023, at 6:31 PM

I voted for Clinton because the alternative was the "oily, slimey" Trump who can "wiggle out, every time" (except it's unlikely this time.)
Do you support that kind of person?

Trump won because of slimey Clinton and a third Obama 4 years. Biden won only because of hate for trump. Pretty simple. I look forward to the day I can vote FOR instead of against.

Leftau you may have a vivid imagination when it comes to what you think they would or would not have done under a given circumstance. All of which is nothing but dreamed up BS. You may try to prove the unprovable if you like but so far it is nothing but a fable you dreamed up.

It’s always amusing to observe your rants, even the mini-rants like those from last night. Actually the self-admiration is unnecessary since SO already knows what a great man you are.
What’s also entertaining is that in addition to the customary degree of “back patting,” you invariably feel the need to tear down anyone daring to hold a different opinion. It’s not unusual for insecure people to feel a need to fabricate false insults and claims about others, to make themselves feel better.
It’s childish, but as the derisive comments are untrue, it’s harmless.
And yes, I can say the same.

Hopefully they're "in jail"...
Two Words That Could Mean the End for Donald Trump
"Former President Donald Trump’s biggest legal jeopardy could come from the classified documents that he kept at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., former Attorney General Bill Barr told CBS News.
“If there was a case out there that I would be concerned about if I was … the former president is the Mar-a-Lago document case,” Barr said.
“It doesn’t go a lot on intent or anything like that; it is very clear that he had no business having those documents. He was given a long time to send them back, and they were subpoenaed. If there were any games going on there, and he is very exposed.”
"Barr told Catherine Herridge that he believes that it could be highly likely that Donald Trump could be indicted by the end of the year.
“It could earlier in the fall or in the summer would be the earliest I would expect it,” Barr said.
Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb, who represented the former president during the Mueller investigation, agrees with Barr.
“I think this is ‘i’ dotting and ‘t’ crossing. I think that this case is ready to go,” Cobb told CNN. “The simple fact is there is a process … and (Trump) totally ignored that and believes that the mere fact he took them declassifies (the documents). That is not the law.”

Leftau, just one simple question regarding the man you think is such a model of perfection.
Just exactly how did Biden go from a net worth of less than $30,000.00 to over $9,000,000,000.00 in the few short years he was Vice President and President?
Personally I believe a much greater Democrat than Biden nailed it.
"Show me a Politician that got rich in politics and I will show you a Crook."
Attributed to Harry S. Truman. Wording may not be correct but the message is.
Think the 5% for the "Big Guy" had anything to do with it?
I think, "Well SOB" etc had a lot to do with it.
And so far as Trump not getting things done. Do you think it had anything to do with the constant investigate and impeach that wasted a lot of taxpayer time and treasure? It is a miracle he was able to accomplish anything.
I personally don't want to see either of the past two Presidents run again.
It is because of incompetency on the part of the Democrat and too much divisiveness on the part of the Republican. All of which can be laid at the door of the Democrats because of their upset over the defeat of Hillary Clinton.
If the Democrats were so intent on pureness in a President, Joe Biden would not be President today.
I am all for what is good for America and the BS needs to come to a screeching halt and get down to business, number one would be the National Debt. I don't give a Tinker's Dam if it means the President and Congress having to go door to door selling cookies like the Girl Scouts, who I have a lot more respect for than I do our Government at this point in history. Fix the debt. Upon going into business years ago, an older business owner cautioned me. He said don't ever try borrowing your way out of debt, Take it from me, he said, I tried it and nearly never got my dead out of water.
There is a time to borrow. I do not believe the old saying of "Never a borrower or a lender be". There is a time when borrowing makes sense and there is a time when, if you can loan someone a few bucks that will pay you back it can be helpful.
But out govenment has no sense what so ever on the National Debt. They borrow in too many cases where political expedienciey has more to do with it than biting the bullet and working our way out of it.

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, May 20, 2023, at 9:08 PM
"...lack of cooperation. Pretty simple."
The simple part is that Trump was completely over his head from his first day in the White House.
He came from running a game show, was a real estate agent, lost money running a casino, bankrupted a successful airline....
What would you expect Mr. Braswell? He was incompetent and inexperienced in dealing with Congress and an organization as large as the US government.
As you saw Biden was able to deal successfully with Congress.

Leftau, you are so big on proving things. I have read this statement over and over since Nov 29, 2021.
"The American people are very much more aware and intelligent than Trump will ever give them credit for."
Now given they were dumb enough to elect Joe Biden as President, I would like you to provide prove of that statement.
You're big on proof's today. Let's hear it.

Leftau, I know of no money I get from China, but I am positive a lot of money is going back over there for some of the cheap crap they make that we have no choice but to buy. Wasn't it under the Democrats that our money and manufacturing jobs started going to China.
Now something for you to think about Leftau, Wasn't it you that started this thread going on two years ago that you have entered complaints and accusations about Trump with mostly nothing but heresay as you are probably the worst one posting, on providing any kinds of links or proof.
So my challenge to you tonight is, go back on each and every accusation you made against Trump and furnish us the proof on it. That should keep your sorry hind end out of our hair for awhile anyway. And the repetitious ones you made, furnish the proof to each one of them.
Personally Little Man, I don't think you are up to it.

Your so called proof doesn't cut it Leftau, I say that is precisely the proof that Trump was correct.
And when are you going to prove all of your anti Trump rants for the past going on two years. It's proof you want, then it's proof I want. Your Democratic tainted opinion doesn't count for squat.
All this Chinese money talk you have been expounding on shows you have very little money savey. After all you have been on the government payroll most of your life as I see it, please explain if I am incorrect. You know where that government money comes from Leftau? Let me tell you, it comes out of the pockets of the hardworking American Taxpayers.

Oh I see the Water Boy must have beat me by a minute. DA it is Interesting he has no idea of why the money was divided the way it was and only a few short hours ago he appears to have been denying that the Chinese sent Hunter and his Partnet multi millions which they reportedly divied up. Now he doesn't know why it was divied up the way it was, which apparantly he finally realizes like the rest of the country there was money changed hands and split in many ways. Then there is reported multi companys being use to distribute the money, like money laundering, If it looks like an illegal, action and it smells like an illegal action, it would be my best bet that it is an illegal action. The House is investigating and I am betting those bank records they are subpoenaing are going to be a probable reason for us seeing the laughing hyena take Ole Slo Joe's seat in the oval office some day. Well SOB won't that be a treat?

Mr. VanGennip,
Taking your "looks like, smell like, best bet it is..." approach to our former, one-term, twice impeached, disgraced "leader."
It very obvious to the majority of us that he looks like a criminal, smells like a criminal, furthermore talks like a criminal, acts like a criminal and walks like criminal, the best bet of Americans is that he is a criminal.
This has been confirmed by two guilty votes, three indictments and three pending indictments.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, May 22, 2023, at 9:56 AM
Leftau, unless I see proof on each claim, I am chalking it up to opinion and hearsay. And that counts for every repetition. You know like in your little demonstration in this last post.
There was no guilty opinion on the two Democrat failures at impeachment. Proof, Trump never left office 10 minutes early.
By the way I am enjoying your having to try and defend Biden. A quick look this morning I saw where the house is going to keep on his *** and now they added lying on Ole Slo Joe.

Where did that question come from? I didn't ask nor was I supposed to answer it.
In any case SO conservatives are falling apart when it comes to honesty and even more so with respect to grasping reality.
Best example is believing that Trump will survive his minimum of 3 pending indictments. Beyond that, virtually all non-MAGA republicans know he has no chance of winning a general election. Facing reality would be dumping him now before he does even more damage to our country.

Throwing around that “alleged” term. That’s the word that was used about Trump,also,so saying all this possible crimes committed by the Bidens is only “alleged” is just another cop out excuse. You gonna crawdad when these crimes come to fruition?
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, May 22, 2023, at 7:23 PM
Trump has not only been indicted for crimes three times, with another three pending, but has essentially confessed to most...
...I need you to do us a favor...
...come to Washington on January 6th, it will be wild...
...all I need is for you to find me 11,780 votes...
...it's my wife, Marla...
...the documents are mine and I declassified them all...
...if Mike Pence does the right thing...
The use of "alleged" with reference to Trump crimes is a legal "niceity" as there are literally mountains of actual evidence against him.
What has Biden confessed to? I'm perfectly willing to wait for evidence to come out. Till then alleged applies.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, May 22, 2023, at 8:29 PM
All that blooey is still alleged.
Biden must “confess”? Crooks normally don’t do that. You know that innocent till proven guilty thing you ignore when convenient.
Btw-wasn’t there a statement in the past from you something like Biden was only needed for one thing-defeat Trump? So why acting like he’s the second coming when he’s nothing but a dumpster fire?
He’s done well effing up everything he’s touched but now wants to “finish the job”?
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, May 23, 2023, at 11:18 AM
“Crooks normally don’t do that.”
Possibly not, except Trump has done so many times.
“CNN political analyst Maggie Haberman said former President Donald Trump may have inadvertently deviated from the narrative that classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago ended up there accidentally.
“In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Trump made the unfounded claim that Presidents are able to declassify documents simply by "saying: 'It's declassified'" or "even by thinking about it."
"Because you're sending it to Mar-a-Lago, or to wherever you're sending it," Trump told Hannity on Wednesday. "You're the president, you make that decision. So when you send it, it's declassified. I declassified everything," Trump added.
That’s not what the Presidential Records Act says.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, May 23, 2023, at 2:05 PM
"...acting like he’s the second coming, when he’s nothing but a dumpster fire?"
Neither of your two phrases are true. But as I've said, I don't think he should run, and don't believe he has to. Any sensible democrat could defeat Trump.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, May 23, 2023, at 2:09 PM
Mr. Braswell,
"...but now wants to “finish the job”?
Perhaps there are some things you missed:
In his first year, Biden passed his Rescue Plan which invested in helping schools and businesses reopen despite a worsening global pandemic.
That year we saw the largest cut to the deficit in a President’s first year, the largest peacetime drop in unemployment, the best GDP growth in four decades, the most jobs created or recovered in a year, the most new business startups in a year, and the Dow set a record for most records set in a year.
He also passed the most significant infrastructure bill since the Interstate Highway System, which is projected to create as many as 19 million jobs.
In year two, he made the largest cut to the deficit in history.
He signed a bill to let Medicare negotiate prescription drug prices for the first time in history, capped the cost of insulin,
Signed the CHIPS Act, and signed a bill to protect our elections from future coup attempts.
Now we’re early in year three, but so far we’ve seen almost 11 million jobs added to the economy, inflation is falling, he’s cut the deficit yet again,
And we have the lowest peacetime unemployment since before the Great Depression.
Covid 19 Relief Package and Vaccine rollout/distribution initiative. American Rescue Plan 2021.
Vaccinate America getting 63% of Americans had shots within a year.
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act — into law. Bipartisan act signed in November 2021
The US unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in December, 2011. U.S. gross domestic product grew at 5.7 percent over 2021, the strongest economic growth in 37 years.
Over 40 federal judges confirmed in the Senate since his inauguration in first year.
Afghanistan withdrawal overcame first day chaos and moved 120,000 Americans and allies out in 14 days.
Bipartisan Postal Service Reform Act 2022
U.S. special forces mission that killed ISIS leader Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi in Syria
Bipartisan Emmitt Till Anti-Lynching Act 2022
Confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to become the first Black woman in history to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States.
CIA took out Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda leader in Kabul
Bipartisan CHIPS Act 2022 to promote semiconductor production in the USA.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 on Health Care and Inflation reducing deficit by $300 million
Overcame republican “red wave” predictions to hold on to the Senate and lose only a few seats to republican control of the House.
Solidified and expanded NATO against Putin’s illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine. Led and unified a worldwide effort to provide supplies, equipment, munitions and modern weapons to permit Ukraine to defend itself.
One unnoticed effort for many years since 2014 is the US National Guard training of the Ukrainian forces to allow them to build a viable NCO corps, which gave them a significant advantage over the poorly led and untrained Russian Army.
Need more??
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, May 23, 2023, at 2:19 PM
Sure,I’ll add a few you missed or rather misspoke about.
Border crisis
War on parental rights
Title 9 and transgenders
Always unpopular inflation
Crime surge
Unconstitutional Covid mandates
Any way you want to describe that “messy” Afghanistan surrender but messy is a kind word. Rearming the Taliban was a nice touch.
Oh,and being last for appointments to the judiciary isn’t something to brag about. And being a person of color doesn’t mean the best for anything. Just look at his VP.
Being in the middle of an ongoing investigation about money laundering is a nice touch. Just “alleged” now but you know how that could turn out.
BTW-what was that “it’s my wife,Marla” all about? You comparing that to Biden confusing his wife and daughter or calling her and Michelle Obama vice presidents?

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, May 23, 2023, at 5:49 PM
I'll help you with Marla first. I'm sure you'll recall Trump losing the sexual abuse case brought by Ms. Collins.
His very first defense was to proclaim, "She's not my type," implying he would never be attracted to some one like that.
Unfortunately, during a deposition, he was shown a photo with two women in it. Asked to identify them, he said this one's Marla, my previous wife. This was clearly before his lawyer intervened, because the lady identified by Trump as his wife, was in fact Ms. Collins. So much for Collins not being "his type."
Typical of Trump's ideeocy.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, May 23, 2023, at 6:07 PM
That’s it? All you got? Pretty weak.
Actually Trump won. It was a rape accusation. What was the verdict?
How about Biden not knowing his wife from daughter or calling his wife and Michelle vice president? C’mon,man,at least be honest and spread it around.
Be an equal opportunity complainer.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, May 23, 2023, at 6:43 PM
I apologize. Biden mistook sister for wife. When you’re boning the babysitter it’s best to have a better story. It was his daughter who accused him of those showers together. Easy to get all his gobbledygook mixed up.

Mr. Braswell,
Border crisis is an issue Congress needs to address. US law allows asylum seekers to enter and remain awaiting hearings from immigration judges.
War on parental rights is another DeSantis fiction.
Title 9 and adult transgenders should be left alone. Children should be excluded from trans decisions or actions.
Always unpopular inflation is a worldwide issue and is going down.
Crime surge needs to be addressed by gun control first.
Covid mandates are public health issues having nothing to do with the Constitution.
That “messy” Afghanistan surrender was orchestrated by Trump who conveniently threw the legal Afghan government under the bus. Rearming the Taliban didn’t happen except by weapons given to the Afghan Army and captured by the Taliban.
And being a person of color doesn’t mean the best for anything, making your position abundantly clear.
President Biden is not in the middle of any ongoing investigation about money laundering. There’s no proof of that.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, May 23, 2023, at 7:59 PM

Interesting...
"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis hit out at Donald Trump for adding trillions to the national debt during his time as president and supporting an amnesty for illegal immigrants.
"DeSantis, who has usually avoided retaliating to the former president's string of attacks and insults, directly criticized the man who will now be his biggest challenger in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.
"Speaking to RealClearPolitics on Wednesday following his 2024 announcement on Twitter Spaces, DeSantis was asked about the attacks aimed at him by Trump and whether his campaign will focus on not only why he should win, but why Trump should not get re-elected.
"So [Trump's] drawing helpful contrast with me now," DeSantis said.
"He's running attacks, attacking me for voting against an omnibus spending bill that he signed when he was president. Absolutely, I think he should not have signed those omnibus spending bills. He added almost $8 trillion to the debt in a four-year period of time," DeSantis said, referring to how the national debt rose from $19.9 trillion to about $27.7 trillion during Trump's time in office.
Looks like someone else is beginning to tell the truth about Trump (finally).

You're conveniently ignoring the Covid -19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and supply/demand imbalances. Those are the causes of worldwide inflation and price increases.

It would seem that you're ignoring the fact that it was Trump that "surrendered." Falsely blaming Biden excuses Trump.
Rick S. is an "independent" as demonstrated by equally blaming both Trump and Biden for everything. It hard to claim "independence" when blame Biden for everything and give Trump a pass on everything.

"Exclusive: Two Trump lawyers considered a ‘murder-suicide pact’ where one would resign if the other was fired."
"Donald Trump’s legal team for months has weathered deep distrust and interpersonal conflict that could undermine its defense of the former president as the criminal investigation into his handling of classified documents and obstruction of justice at Mar-a-Lago nears its conclusion.
"The turmoil inside the legal team only exploded into public view when one of the top lawyers, Tim Parlatore, abruptly resigned two weeks ago from the representation citing irreconcilable differences with Trump’s senior adviser and in-house counsel Boris Epshteyn."

WASHINGTON, May 25 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy said on Thursday he spoke briefly with former President Donald Trump about the debt ceiling negotiations in recent days, as time runs short for an agreement to avoid default.
Trump, who is seeking a second term in 2024 amid multiple legal challenges, has downplayed the impact of a default while urging Republican lawmakers to take a harder position in talks.
"Republicans should not make a deal on the debt ceiling unless they get everything they want," Trump posted on Truth social last week. "Do not fold!!
Economists say that a default would be economically devastating, shaking financial markets worldwide, pushing borrowing costs high and provoking a deep U.S. recession with soaring unemployment.
McCarthy, speaking to reporters outside the Capitol, said: "I did talk to President Trump the other day and it came up, but just for a second."
Seems that Trump did his best to mess this up, but failed again. As it turned out McCarthy got out-negotiated by Biden.
The simple truth was that Biden put the American people and country first, while McCarthy put party first and country last.

Seriously, Mr. Braswell, are you actually implying that there is nothing that Trump has done that you deem worthy of condemnation?

Not the insurrection...

"Trump melts down on Truth Social as his lawyer struggles to defend damning secret recording"
Story by Tatyana Tandanpolie • 10h ago
"Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday fumed over a damning report that special counsel Jack Smith has obtained an audio recording of him that undermines his long-held argument that he had the power to declassify documents with his mind.
"In the audio, which was recorded in 2021 and relayed to reporters from several sources who had heard it, the former president is heard weighing the dangers of sharing classified Pentagon documents about a potential attack on Iran. According to CNN, Trump acknowledged in the recording that he retained classified documents and "suggest he would like to share the information but he's aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records."

Debt ceiling deal reveals the impotence of Donald Trump's MAGA movement
“I have bad news for folks who invested in bright red “Make America Great Again” hats and devoted years of their lives to what former President Donald Trump routinely calls “the greatest political movement in the history of our country.”
“The MAGA movement, with each passing day, appears smaller and more impotent. It’s loud but ineffective, capable of creating chaos but incapable of success.
“The recent debt-ceiling deal reached between President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy perfectly illustrates MAGA’s all-holler/no-action status.

Biden and Pence found a small number of old classified documents intermingled with unclassified papers. Both turned them over as soon as they were identified.
Trump stole boxes and boxes of highly classified documents, he lied about having them, refused to return them, and it finally took a subpoena and an FBI search warrant to get at least some of them back.

Mr Trump is set to appear in court on Tuesday at a federal courthouse in Miami. If convicted, he could face a sentence of more than a century in prison.

Leftau, the above comments from you are what they are, just a load of BS. You have no proof that he is pocketing as much as $0.10 of those donations. We do have campaign finance laws in this country and laws on how donated money is handled and spent. If Trump was so greedy for money, why do you suppose he never took a salary the four years in the Presidency. If you take the $400,000 salary and the $50,000 for expenses that comes to $1,800,000.
And you Leftau are going to stand here and tell us he is pocketing campaing funds?
I will wait for your proof of that.
Trump has an ego no doubt about it, and he likes the honor of being the President. But lack of money is not his problem. If it was all about money, he would have taken his Presidential Salary

What does matter is that a man with less than a $30,000.00 net worth going into the Vice Presidencey can leave that office with a net worth of $9,000,000.00. KInd of hard to do that on a $235,100.00 as is reported the salary of Kammy Harris.

Even campaign donations, some of which are used legally, and leftovers are not supposed to go to his pocket, but the can go to a PAC and furthermore, Trump has paid little attention to pesky legalities.

You are the one who apparently lied as you cannot seem to come up with any proof that Trump puts campaign money in his pocket. Probably not your exact words again but I believe anyone with an IQ of over 50 can understand what I said.
Last night I believe you indicated you could prove it when you answered to the affirmative. Did you lie then? As so far you have not been able to prove what you said, just tried to drag the wrong scent over the trail.

Leftau I scrolled back and I didn't see where I had put the wordage that was different in quotes, but I have made mistakes before if you can find where I did.
But your accusation is kind of like saying a black truck passed me at a high rate of speed and I made a comment and said to the effect, Leftau was commenting that a dark colored truck passed him. Would I be lying?

Trump will continue to bleed his "supporters" for whatever pennies they have left, and put donations into his pocket.
When the time comes to raise money for valid candidates, they'll be broke. And Trump will laugh all the way to the bank.

Leftau, not squirming and not trying to muddy the waters.
So let's start over and clarify this.
1. Did you or did you not make the statement above containing these words?
"put donations into his pocket"
2. If so can you prove it?

Well congratulations Leftau, after two days of scratching for some kind incrinimating information to back up your groundless claims as in how much money he made while President and the other herring. What you have now is an accusation, has any charges of wrong doing been entered for this.
And no Leftau I am not defending Trump, just trying to make sure your BS is correct. If he did something illegal with campaign funds then let the chips fall where they may.
But I find it funny your posting of him putting donor funds in his pocket are still not backed with facts, merely speculation. And I will say if they are truly found to be gronded in reality down the road, let him face a court of law. How long did it take to dig this out on your slow internet. You might want to try AT&T 5G High Speed Wireless. I used a slower version of AT&T wireless when I traveled in my motor home and had service all most anywhere. It worked in Bollinger County when I was visiting there 5 or 6 years ago. And I know things have improved since them.
Perhaps with AT&T 5G wireless it won't take you days to prove what you post. Anyway, what you have now is speculation not proof.

Pretty sad response Mr. VanGennip.
Your defense of Trump would be far less troubling were he not a blatant liar, not twice impeached, not a one-term president, not twice indicted, and a clearly disgraced former officer holder.
When he loudly and constantly complains about being a victim, proclaims he's an innocent man, do you believe him?
Another simple yes or no will suffice.

Sad or not Leftau, it's my response. So far as being a victim. I think everyone is a victim of their own circumstances.
So far as Trump goes you and the rest of the Democrat Party have been after his *** since it was announced that he beat Hillary Clinton. I have been around for awhile and I have never seen a political party waste 4 years of time and taxpayer treasure going after one man in my life and failing at every turn.

More pesky facts...
Shokin was fired because he did not investigate Burisma, not because he was.
His firing was demanded by the Ukrainian Parliament, the US Congress, the Ukrainian President, the EU, the World Bank, the IMF, and the US President. Vice-President Biden was last in line and had nothing to do with Shokin being fired.

Biden according to his own bragging went over and threatened, they either fire the guy fired or he wasn't giving them the money. Came back , played the big shot and bragged about it. Well SOB they fired him he says. And you Leftayu try to down play it and says it never happened, saying Biden was lying.
I know the Well SOB they fired him part because I watched the video of Biden saying it. Biden is a low life lying politician that has never held a real job.

Republican Trump supporters are now trying to claim that the US has a “two tiered” system of justice.
Clearly they are confused in making this ludicrous accusation. There is only one tier of justice.
The simplest way to understand the real “one tier” system is to imagine that Trump had inter-mingled a few classified documents in folders with a larger number of unclassified papers. Upon discovering this mistake, had Trump immediately turned all classified in to the National Archives and Records Administration, he would have been treated in exactly the same way that Pence and Biden were.
That’s the one tier. Unfortunately Trump had hundreds of highly classified documents, tried to keep them, lied about having them and obstructed FBI and NARA attempts to retrieve them. That’s why he was indicted and Pence and Biden won't be.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Jun 13, 2023, at 7:56 PM

Clinton was investigated by the FBI and treated just as Pence was.
Trump claims the Presidential Records Act allows him to keep documents. In fact it does just the opposite.
All of the documents, both unclassified and classified are the property of the US government and the American citizens, not Trump's.
If a former president wants documents for his library, they can be obtained through NARA.

"...this may just assure it."
In my opinion, it will also assure his loss to anyone in the general election. And it's likely his loss there will drag down any chance of republicans running for Congress.

And so far as real Conservatives rejecting Trump. Guess again Leftau a real Conservative has to make choices and be realistic. In way too many cases a Conservative has to make choices that are realistic. You choose the best of the worst at the polls, out of those that can win.

And those names you mentioned, pretty much RINO's. Certainly are not true Conservatives.

Rick, they are training Americans to be dependents. That way there will be little to no resistance when the power hungry make their move. They want the citizen beholden to government.
And government has too much incompetence built in. The problem with government offices is they are loaded with White Colar WPA who just shuffle paper.
Private business cannot operate this way or they would go broke. Private business doesn't have a mandate to levy taxes.
And Biden wants to hire more incompetents for the Internal Revenue Dept.
In my time in business, I went through 3 Sales Tax Audits. Not one time did they find we had failed to collect or remit. Biggest thing they found is we failed to get the proper paperwork a couple of times from another business we sold to that also had a sales tax license and did not pay on his purchases but collected the tax from the retail customer. But it gave the White Collar WPA something to do.

I agree that President Biden does not need to run, particularly not just to keep Trump out of the White House. I don't think he should run again; any reasonable democrat could easily beat Trump (or DeSantis for that matter.)
Beshear is a good choice, I think Sinema is less so, and my recommendation is still Tim Ryan.
Either could beat any Trumpist conservative. If republicans want to avoid being stuck in the loss column again, they need to pick a reasonable republican such as Kasich or Sununu.

Fox host blasts Trump: He 'seemed to verge on incoherent'
A Fox interview with Donald Trump left at least one Fox host fearful about the former president's mental state.
Bret Baier spoke to Republican Party's 2024 front-runners on Monday, and Brit Hume was shocked at what he witnessed.
Hume began by congratulating his colleague for pushing back against Trump while also "letting him have his say."
But that was where the niceties ended.
"I will say a couple of things, one thing is his answer on the matters of the law seem to me to verge on incoherent," said Hume. "He seemed to be saying that the documents were really his and that he didn't give them back when he was requested to do so and when they were subpoenaed because, you know, he wasn't ready to because he hadn't sorted them and separated the classified information or whatever from his golf shirts, whatever he was saying."

Do you or do you not support Joe Biden?
I think one thing alone puts Biden in the Socialist box. The Student Loan Forgiveness boondoggle he is trying to pull off.
The student loan program encourages unqualified high school graduates to waste 4 to 6 years of their life getting a degree in something that will not pay their indebtedness, while the rest of Americans pay their own way through life and now are expected to bail those out with a useless degree hanging on their wall that will not get them a job paying enough to honor their committements.
Out with Joe Biden and those who think like him.

How is "Student Loan Forgiveness" socialistic? It has nothing to do with nationalizing industry or anything similar.

What does a scholarship have to do with anything in this discussion. We are talking about student loans that are growing whiskers and Biden wants to take money from people like me and pay them off. I paid for my educationa and my children's. Why do I have to pay taxes to support those morons who run up a big debt studying the sex life of a Marscipilous Butterfly and now find out that Piece of Paper they gave him on graduation day does absolutely nothing to further his existence in the real world. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the citizens are obligated to support idiots.
If parents took part in their kids education that would happen in fewer and fewer cases. Since my money was being used to go to college, you can bet I knew what my kids were studing.

Mr. Schaefer,
Recall when you were positive that the Durham Report was going to send all of those “bad democrats” straight to jail? Didn’t happen quite that way.
Basically, after 4 years he had nothing.
Durham, the man who they expected to expose Mueller’s role in the “witch hunt” against Trump,” failed totally.
----- ---- --- -- -
John Durham said exactly what Trumpworld didn't want to hear
“There was a lot of time spent in the weeds during Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing with special counsel John Durham. Lawmakers burned hours trying to spin, parse and unpack the dense, 300-page report he issued last month into the origins of the FBI’s 2016 investigation of former President Donald Trump. Names that nobody who hasn’t been glued to the coverage of the Russia probe and its aftermath would recognize got thrown around to a degree that at several points even I was left wondering, “Who?”
“It wasn’t the most riveting of hearings, but here’s the bottom line: John Durham found nothing to discredit special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. At no point in his testimony did he take the bait from Republicans to give credence to Trump’s “Russia hoax” rhetoric. If anything, Durham went out of the way to praise his predecessor — even if his grasp on what Mueller found proved to be a bit shaky.
“Like Durham’s investigation itself, the hearing was at times a crude doppelgänger of Mueller’s testimony about his findings in 2019. Then, as now, a special counsel defended his work before a divided partisan panel. Then, as now, the special counsel tried to stick to the scope of what was actually in the text of his report. And then, as now, Republicans desperately sought to spin the text before them into a full exoneration of Trump. A major difference is that this time, the laundry list of crimes that Trump has been accused of stretches much longer than it did before, including multiple criminal indictments.
“Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and his colleagues sought to paint Durham’s weak-tea conclusions — that the FBI had the responsibility to investigate claims of Russian collusion but made missteps along the way — as evidence of a vast conspiracy against Trump. Most of the accusations thrown around were relatively incomprehensible, especially since Durham found no specific wrongdoing of note from any particular member of FBI or Justice Department leadership. It was on the whole a rather tepid affair, befitting a rather tepid report that was packed with speculation that Durham couldn’t prove in court.
“That’s not to say that the day was completely pointless. Durham confirmed under Democratic questioning that current Attorney General Merrick Garland didn’t interfere with his investigation or tell him that any potential targets were off-limits. He admitted that the reason that former President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton still walk free, no matter how much Trumpworld wants them behind bars, is that there’s simply no evidence of wrongdoing. Likewise, none of the three individuals he did prosecute, two of whom were acquitted, were accused of taking part in a supposed “deep state” plot to take down Trump. It’s a far cry from when the former president was promising that Durham’s probe would reveal “the crime of the century.”
“Instead, Durham said in his opening statement that his report “should not be read to suggest in any way that Russian election interference was not a threat; it was.” And when it came to Mueller himself, Durham didn’t hold back in his praise. “Our object, our aim, was not to dispute Director Mueller,” Durham said. “I have the greatest regard, the highest regard for Director Mueller. He is a patriot.” That’s again not what Trump’s most ardent devotees would like to hear coming from the man who they expected to expose Mueller’s role in the “witch hunt” against Trump.”

Mr. VanGennip,
"...this as a way to get yours paid for."
Not sure what that even means. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1967 with tuition paid for by my parents, but if I remember right it was less than $200 per semester. Later I paid the tuition for my children.

“President Trump is 76 years old. If the Department of Justice gets its way, he will die in federal prison… They don’t want to just win elections, they want to take control of this country, they want one-party rule. And they have used the Department of Justice and the FBI to get what they want.”

Oh really Leftau, what would you call your Trump Hatred Thread, Pure Liberal BS?

I think it is because you are afraid that American Voters are realizing their error in electing the current Loser of a President.
I have already stated that I didn't think he should run because things are too divisive in this country now and I am looking at the good of the Country, whereas it doesn't matter with you so long as you can elect your Leftist Commie thinking people for President.
And Leftau, you didn't respond to the following. Your silence is deafening, we would really like your position on paying deadbeats college bills. Your Biden is all for it.

"Last night, Tucker Carlson released a video responding to the Biden Department of Injustice’s SHAM INDICTMENT and ARRAIGNMENT of President Trump…
“This is the first step in the process to put Donald Trump behind bars for the rest of his life.
Trump is the one guy with an actual shot at becoming president who dissents from Washington’s longstanding pointless war agenda.
And for that one fact, they are trying to take Trump out before you can vote for him. And that should upset you more than anything that’s happened in American politics in your lifetime.”
Tucker concluded his remarks by saying that America’s very “principles are at stake” in the 2024 election.
President Trump is on a mission to restore power to YOU, the American people.
And the President is even willing to put his own freedom on the line to see it happen."

I remember my Very Conservative Grandfather who was a Democrat, back in the day when there were no Leftist Socialistic faction of the party. in the Democrat Party. And I remember the day a new Democrat asked me on the street in old Lutesville to vote for him. I said I don't live here any longer. His response, no one will know.
I am Conservative and in spite of your slurs will remain one. I don't see Trump as a true Republican, but I see his term of four years as overall much better than the last two. And that is in spite of the on going harassment of the Democrats with the Russian Collusion to the two failed Impeachment attempts. No Lefftau the Democrsts did more damage to this country since Jan 2017 to today. You may repeat what you keep trying to and would call defending Trump. Trump had his issues as most politicians do but America eas safer and better off his 4 years than the past 2 and nearly a half under Biden. I just returned from the grocery store about an hour ago. I feel fortunate to have rental income. I do not see how some of these seniors are eating.
So my advice to you Leftau, not that I expect you to take it....
Start acting like an American instead of a Leftist Democrat.

Acting like an American is exactly what I have been doing.
What's un-American is defending an individual that tried to overturn a lawful and honest election.
What you've never understood is that Trump was handed a growing economy, and he passed on a mess to Biden. The biggest single problem Trump created was his mishandling of the pandemic.

Those are your opinions Leftau and you are welcome to them.
I don't pretend to know what your problems are. But you certainly appear to be dissatisfied with your life.
And no Leftau Obama did not hand Trump a booming economy. He handed over the slowest recovery from one of our periodic recessions since the great depression and up until the Pandemic things went quite well. You can give us your little rendition if you like, we have heard it a dozen times. But it changes nothing. Trump did not create the pandemic, the Chinese did. And it had been a hundred years since we had experienced anything like it.
Biden was handed a decent economy. His first two EO's that he obviously did not write got the ball rolling
We inherited from Biden.
1. Open borders and 2. Out of control fuel prices due to him creating shortages. And then he raped our strategic reserves to sell oil to China.
Think that could have anything to do with Hunter's Chinese buddies?

Here's something you can work on Leftau.
"Adam Schiff is a liar, and House Republicans just voted to hold him accountable. Earlier today, Adam Schiff was censured on the House Floor, finally holding him to account for his Russia hoax lies, House Intelligence Committee malpractice, and bogus impeachment against Pres. Trump."

More help for you...
The border between Missouri and Arkansas is an open border. The border with Mexico is not.
Fuel prices increases had to do with Covid, decreased supply with increasing demand.
Furthermore...
Schiff is not a liar. The republican crazies are sadly in charge of the House. There were no Russia hoax lies. There was no malpractice. Trump was found guilty by the majority of Senators on both impeachments.
Corrected for you. Try paying attention to reality.

Lefty, Lefty, are you still living with this misconceprtion.....
"Trump was found guilty by the majority of Senators on both impeachments."
Trump was aquitted, just as I predict Biden will be done the same if they finally choose to Impeach him.
It is going to be a cold day in hell when a President is ever impeached as it takes a 2/3 majority of all Senators, not just a simply majority of his enemies. # Presidents have faced impeachment charges and were acquitted. Didn't they teach American history where you went to school Leftau?
You can huff and puff and you can surmise and you can accuse, but the fact remains Leftau Trump never levt office an hour early and yes Adam Schiff is everything he was accused of. Just being a Democrat doesn't make him innocent.

Back of fourth changes of powere Democrat, Republican, Democrat and so on, but we have a bunch of power hungry leaches in there that care more about themselves and their power craving than they do about our country. The Presidents that I can remember having more than an average amount of respect for were Truman, Eisenhower Regan. Others in there I had some respect for but saw nothing spectacular from them. And some I had absolute disgust for.
I am 100% with what Truman had to say. Show me a man who got rich in politics and I will show you a crook. We have one sitting on the throne right now. Rags to Riches.

Leftau' if they were held and passed on Schiff's lies they should be expunged.
That would sure be a blow to your story wouldn't it?
Hopefully Schiff is on his way out.
But at least your little campaign to try and make Trump guilty after the fact isn't getting any traction.
The Dims failed to meet their burden of proof under the law and failed miserably not just once but twice. Take that to go along with their failure to find anything on Russian Collusion and that makes 3 strikes Leftau. And you know what 3 strikes makes you.

Another glaring example of your ignorance of recent and current events.
For example, the Mueller investigation and report led to the indictment of about 12 Russians that participated in collusion with the Trump administration. The investigation concluded that there was collusion by Trump supporters, but available evidence did not reach a criminal conspiracy.
Consider that all of the evidence of Trump's guilt in his second impeachment is available to Jack Smith for use in the pending Grand Jury indictment of Trump for insurrection activities.

Leftau, No.1 Broom Hilda was a nothing as Secretary of State and she violated Federal Law with her Private Server and then the Bleach Bitting. Thank God she never made President. We are spared that.
And this might come as a total surprise to you, but how many votes she received had nothing to do with it. In case you are unaware, we have the Electoral College who represents the states who vote for a President. Making sure all States have a say in who is going to be President and Broom Hilda did not receive enough votes where it counts, so we were spared that.
Then this, "Today, after living through 4 years of Trump disasters, and another 2+ years of aftermath, most Americans reject Trump entirely."
Trump has not been President for 2+ years so quit whining about the 2+ years of Biden's Failures. If Biden was not up to running what was completely successful in January of 2021 hw should not have signed on for the job. He has been a total failure and it is his own failure. He did not need to open up the border as he did causing us to be overun by a few million illegals and he did not need to screw up oil production. But someone wrote two Exective Orders for him to sign and he did. Doubtful he had any idea of what was in them . A man that could not tell his wife from his sister prior to the 2020 election should not have been on the ballot. But I know, he had likeability even though he cannot get things done and Trump did not have likeability but could get things done.

Well we had a stable economy, with reasonably priced fuel and groceries.
All done with ongoing harassment from Democrats starting pretty much day one and continuing through his entire Presidency
We were hit with a pandemic and he got government out of the way so a vaccine could be developed and distribution started in record time. He had the influx of illegals under control which Biden immediately blew a hole in. We were a net producer of fuel which Biden blew a hole in.

It was a demonstration of support for Trump which got totally out of hand. Nothing I would have wanted to be a part of but it was not an attempt to overthrow the government.

That's what I've been doing. Trump's indictment for stealing and mishandling classified documents was released only last month. His interview with Baier where he literally confessed, was even more recent.
He's still got 2 or 3 indictments yet to go. That's called living in the present. You're just not paying attention.
Looking to the future, Trump could have up to 3 or 4 criminal trials going on simultaneously, and he's vainly trying to convince Americans to put him back into the White House.

Leftau you are as full of it as a Christmas Goose.

If one says the Sky is cloudy this afternoon.
Did he by that statement tell you it was raining? Or make the claim that it was raining? Or standing knee deep in storm water claim that he was praying for rain.
Leftau, you need to quit trying to change the meaning of what others say to something you would have wanted them to say. Or some preconceived notion of this is what they said. Now my basis for stating this is that you obviously are NOT smart enough to get away with it and at least in my case not forceful enough to beat me down with it because when you lie I am going to call you on it.
And to prove my point, I will use your own words as follows....
"Question: How does one defend Jan. 6th? Which, incidentally was the date of the Trump insurrection.

Leftau, of course it was in support of Donald Trump. I wasn't there, but as I read it, it got totally out of hand for a number of reasons. There were agitators whipping up the crowd. That is no secret. And that is not an uncommon happening in gatherings like this. Does that make them right. Of course not! As I have stated before. I spoke to someone who was there and left at the first sound of breaking glass along with his group.
I am a realist, I know it happened. As I stated I know the intent of the gathering and nowhere will you find me endorsing what happened. Just because I am honest in stating why the rally was jeld to begin with does not make me an endorser of it. What would you have me tell you? I thought they were going to hold a hot dog roast? So I would request you quit lying about it! I won't ask for your apology because I do not believe you are a big enough man to give it.
Leftau, it is only small minded people like yourself who will try to twist the words of others to make false statements. Acknowledging a fact does not spark agreement.

Scaramucci says Trump 'stressed' over indictment, predicts he will drop out of 2024 race
Anthony Scaramucci, a former White House communications director for ex-President Donald Trump, said on Monday that Trump is "stressed" about his indictment on federal charges and predicted the Republican front-runner will eventually end his 2024 presidential campaign over his legal problems.
Trump surrendered to authorities in Miami on Tuesday, where he was arraigned in federal court. Trump's attorney pleaded not guilty to 37 charges against the former president related to suspected mishandling of federal documents seized from his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago.
Scaramucci, who was Trump's communications director just 11 days before he was fired by the former president, said he believes his old boss is concerned about the federal indictment.

Former President Donald Trump’s ALL-CAPS RANT on Wednesday was as overdone as Fourth of July hot dogs left on the grill.
The 2024 Republican candidate for president pressed the Caps Lock key by the dawn’s early light and spewed false claims and fiery rhetoric.
“MASSIVE PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT IS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE IN AMERICA. THE WEAPONIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “CRIME & INFLATION ARE RAMPANT, OUR BORDERS ARE OPEN, OUR ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED, OUR ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE IS GONE, OUR “LEADER” IS MERCILESSLY MOCKED, & OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED BOTH INSIDE & OUT.

What excuses?
Do you know how the US legal system works with respect to Grand Juries?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 12:07 AM
Sure do. Be truthful just as you should be truthful on here.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 6:59 AM
Mr. Braswell,
Agree the being truthful is essential.
Couple of points...
How is it that so many republicans/conservatives find it so hard (or impossible) to be truthful and admit publicly that Trump's big lie is exactly that?
You've been asked before, what is it that you believe I have not been truthful about?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 8:26 AM
Leftau, have you ever heard? "To thine ownself be true"
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 8:30 AM
Go ahead, answer the same questions I posed to Mr. Braswell.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 8:40 AM
As for being true to one's self, yes, I've heard it, and do practice it. You should try it.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 8:45 AM
"How is it that so many republicans/conservatives find it so hard (or impossible) to be truthful and admit publicly that Trump's big lie is exactly that?"
Leftau, is there a requirement somewhere that I am unaware of that says we must all confess to you all of our inner thoughts and beliefs?
I had it impressed on me to not trust a Democrat when I was asked to vote for one and when he was told I didn't live here any longer, he said no one would ever know. I knew this man, his son was a friend. I lost all respect for him.

Three words to mock ol Joe “stolen laptop”.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 8:55 AM
DA, where did this laptop become stolen all of a sudden. From what I have read, the dummy that owned it, took it in for repair, it had damming evidence on it, the dummy didn't pick it up and pay for repairs, the shop owner turned it over to authorities.
What part of this is incorrect. How did it become stolen all of a sudden?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 9:04 AM
Actually it sounds more like one of the Bollinger County Sage(brush) attempted coverups.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 9:07 AM
The laptop was not returned to it's owner, however I agree that "abandoned" is the accurate descriptor. My mistake.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 10:01 AM
Kind of hard to understand how any dumazz would leave a device with incriminating evidence on it. But take something in for repair and you are not getting it back until you show up and pay the bill.
And that is the smartest man Ole Slo Joe Knows.

My feeling is that Hunter Biden should just shut up and take his jail term.

He is what’s commonly called a dead beat dad making his father a dead beat grandfather who disavowed his granddaughter’s existence simply putting a Christmas stocking up for his dog rather than his 7th grandchild. Low class move.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 11:49 AM
Not sure what your definition of "deadbeat dad" but the woman has been collecting $20,000 per month since 2020 and is now still getting $5000 per month in child support.
What kind of relationship the Biden family has or doesn't have is their business, certainly not mine or yours.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 12:31 PM
Mr. VanGennip and Mr. Braswell,
"...that I am unaware of that says we must all confess to you all of our inner thoughts and beliefs?"
I don't care about your "inner thoughts and beliefs."
Just a simple question...
"How is it that so many republicans/conservatives find it so hard (or impossible) to be truthful and admit publicly that Trump's big lie is exactly that?"
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 1:33 PM
Trump gets the microscope of his private life but don’t dare intrude on the Biden’s. This was a candidate that promised transparency and morality. We know how that transparency promise went out the door and if he can’t face up to the morals as a grandfather where’s the promise of a moral presidency?
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 2:16 PM
Leftau, I agree with what DA said and will add, there are people out there that think that the election was rigged and Fraud was rampant.
Do you think for one minute that their thoughts and feelings are any less important than your own?
Plus many consider their thoughts and feelings are private and their owna and theirfore none of your damed business.
This is still a free country I think and your demanding to know what everyone things and does is just more Leftist Liberal overreach.
Capeesh??
Now make of that what you want but you are in no position to demand anything from others. As a body of people they owe you nothing.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 2:26 PM
Fraud was rampant.
There is zero proof of that. Trump can say so and you can say so, it's still unproven and untrue.

No self aggrandizing to it. Just responding to your attempted put down.
Yes I make plenty of errors in typing. Especially on a keyboard 2 3/4 inches wide. But FYI my daughter had my computer tied up trying to help me catch up on my bookkeeping.
So perhaps if you read slowly you will understand. I certainly typed slow enough for you.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Jul 7, 2023, at 7:55 PM
Hard to see how telling the truth about Trump becomes an "attempted put down."
That there are people out there that think "...that the election was rigged and Fraud was rampant" is irrelevant since there is no validated or reliable proof of that.

I will consider your statement about Biden doing well this afternoon a mere opinion of yours. The news doesn't mention anything consequential about what he had to say. I do not know, I did not listen, nor will not be seeking out a replay of him.
What were you bragging about? Was he reading well what was written for him to say or just sitting quietly unnoticed?

Trump refers to the administrative state as the “swamp” and the “deep state.”
“We will demolish the deep state,” Trump vowed at a Michigan rally in June. “We will expel the warmongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists, Marxists and fascists. And we will throw off the sick political class that hates our country.”

Is America on the brink of tyranny? Trump's plan if elected in 2024 should frighten us all.
"The New York Times published an article Monday that's bone-chilling for anyone who cherishes our freedom, democracy and constitutional governance. The story recounted, with full cooperation of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, his plans to eliminate executive branch constraints on his power if he is elected president in 2024.
“The obstacles to be eliminated include an independent Justice Department, independent leadership in administrative agencies and an independent civil service. Richard Neustadt, one of the country’s best known students of the American presidency, has said that in a constitutional democracy the chief executive “does not obtain results by giving orders – or not. ... He does not get action without argument. Presidential power is the power to persuade.”
“Trump’s plan would substitute loyalty to him for loyalty to the Constitution. This vision is simultaneously frightening and unsurprising. In 2019, he said, “I have to the right to do whatever I want as president.” And in December, Trump called for the “termination of ... the Constitution.”

“…when will uou learn you aren't smart enough to put words in my mouth or change what I say and get away with it?”
What makes it funny is that no one is even trying to do that. I can’t help comparing you with Trump’s egotistical, self-centered, “nobody’s smarter than me” approach to everything.
If you take a comparison with Trump as a compliment, it just means you’re not smart enough to realize it isn’t.

If the Democrats run Joe Biden or Hillary Rodham Clinton for President in the 2024 presidential election, I will vote for any Republican that is running against either of them!

"Hard to find which side the lying fence he lands on."
Any "defense" of Biden lies has been centered on some being memory lapses, some simply mis-speaking, some exaggerated story telling, and some inexcusable intentional lies.
Trump lies on the other hand are for the most part self-serving intentional attempts to deceive the public, especially his cult members.
Most are extremely dangerous to our democracy. The worst of them is his big lie which he duped a large part of the former republican party into doubting our electoral system of fair and honest voting.
An extension of that big lie is that former republican House members, at the risk of being condemned by Trump, have to basically ignore their oath of office and "swear allegiance" to Trump.

Nice try Water Boy, but no cigar. I called the post a bunch of BS and implied nothing. Try sticking to the truth and facts for a change. Like some of Biden's lies are just story telling.
I said the post was a bunch of BS and am sticking to it. I pointed out nothing in there that "implys" anything.

Leftau you have failed to make an issue of what I said, perhaps you missed it.

Leftau, instead of trying to entrap me into appearing to be saying something, why don't you stick with the truth.
If I have something to say, I will say it. I don't stutter in print or in person.
The last 5 words are the most truthful thing in the following sentence.
"Any "defense" of Biden lies has been centered on some being memory lapses, some simply mis-speaking, some exaggerated story telling, and some inexcusable intentional lies."

1. The last paragraph is a total fabrication on your part. Just one more example of your disregard for the truth.
Response: No Leftau it is not a fabrication, it is my opinion from years of watching them buying voters with tax dollars. I am sick to death of watching them **** away our money on people who will not work so long as they are being paid to sit at home in front of the flat screen. I am sick and tired of being taxed for this. Had an opportunity to sell my building, Daughter who is a CPA said no, you cannot they will kill you with taxes due to inflation and using common sense management of buying and selling property through a lifetime. So I have to die to keep the government from taking the inflated value away from me. All the while the money we have buys less because of Bidonomics inflation.
Creeping Socialism is where we are at and it is only getting worse. Let the government do it for you and prtty soon they own you!
2. No one that I'm aware of has said anything of the sort. If you know it was said, inform us of who said that and when. .
Response: Leftau anyone with vision can see what is happening. Of course they are not going to tell you this. They are entirely too slimey for that.
3. Otherwise it's just one more of your lies.
No Water Boy to the Democrats, it is not a lie! It is an educated opinion from reading and watching history. We have had a unique form of government in this country for years. We had people who worked and grew. We used the if you are able bodied and won't work you don't eat approach to things. By giving and giving and giving our assets to people who will not work we are creating a bunch of dependents and it is growing. My opinion, there will come a day when these welfare slaves will be told not asked what they are going to do next. This country was formed out of people sick and tired of being loyal subjects of a King. We do not need to become loyal subjects to a government again.
So Leftau being unlike you, I have never been dependent on a check written by government in my life and I do not want my children to be subjected to government slavery either.

Leftau for once in your life, show a little intelligence. I told you it was my opinion based on watching history and current events. This is not a lie. I truly believe Anerica is going to live that mistake if things do not change. Of course, no Democrat said that, even they are not that dumb. It starts with Socialism.
You may either believe what I do or not, I could care less. I sincerely would question that anyone envisioned the USSR takeover either, before it happened. Those people underwent a lifetime of subjection worse than the one they were supposedly rescued from. It is what it is and happens because there are power hungry people in place and the citizenry is asleep at the switch.

Let's see if I understand your position Leftau
You want to dump Trump
But you are ok with Brain Dead Biden and the current mess we are in.

What Mr. VanGennip ignores is that Clinton turned over about 30,000 work related email a very few of which referred to confidential information. The deleted emails contained non-governmental, personal information.
Trump on the other hand stole hundreds of classified documents including war plans and nuclear secrets.
See the difference?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Jul 25, 2023, at 8:11 AM
"several downloaded copies of those Documents on Flash Keys or Burners."
Yes Rick I have thought the same thing. And who is to say Hunter doesn't have thenm on flash drives, they were available in Joe's garage.
Technology existed over 5 years ago to scan and create PDF files with a cell phone camera. I used it myself in doing Genealogy research. For those not aware PDF stands for Portable Document Format, a format that can be read by most anything that will accept a digital file.

"What Mr. VanGennip ignores is that Clinton turned over about 30,000 work related email a very few of which referred to confidential information. The deleted emails contained non-governmental, personal information."
Leftau I will take that as a well doctored and opinionated version of what really happened with Clinton.
At least with Trump's stash it was secured, unlike Biden's which were stored carelessly in the garage and other locations. And what about those he took as a Senator?
And Leftau your little spiel was so well constructed one would think uou were on site and had inside information which I question.
Further Leftau, I haven't heard that Trump's son was a dopehead with friends in our enemies camp. Both would have had the availability to view secret documents.
It's just that in your book only one of them is guilty out of 3.

Rick and DA, I agree with both of you. We have 3 examples here o

3. Just One

All are "guilty" of having at least 1 classified document in their possession.
Two had a small number of classified intermingled with unclassified and returned those documents immediately after their discovery.
One intentionally removed classified documents from government control, lied about having them, then wrongfully claimed they were his, refused to return them, and kept them until a legal search warrant recovered them.
If you think for yourself, you may be able to determine who did what.

And since I am pretty sure you were not there in either case you have no way opf knowing what they actually took. For all we know the guilty parties may have put something out to be found and hidden hundreds more. As citizens we hear pretty much what one political or the other want us to hear.
I think it is going to get really interesting what the Biden Family divided up from foreign entities. Ole Slo Joe going from less than $30,000.00 to $9,000,000.00 in one stint at Vice President is hard to comprehend. Let the chips fall where they may.

It is fine only if they obtained it honestly Leftau. I have no problem with people having money if they obtained it through inheritance, work, wise investing or anything legal. But if they got it while in government work without anything like the above, I have an issue with it regardless of politic party.
This rags to riches crap in government work without having any worthwhile outside interests of value is always suspect with me.
I subscribe to the Harry Truman theory of show me someone who gets rich in politics and I will show you a crook.
So Leftau since you know all about Senator McConnell and
Speaker McCartney, how did they obtain what they have. I don't remember hearing all about them being rags to riches millionaires like Biden and Obama.
Maybe they did it the old fashioned way, maybe they married it.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Tue, Jul 25, 2023, at 2:47 PM
Apparantly McConnell got a big portion of his the old fashioned way in an inheritance from his wife's side of the family.
Above is what I found on McConnell. I could find nothing similar with McCartney. I saw one article of him wining $5000 and starting a business. But nothing like above.
Perhaps Leftau would like to give us his version.

Leftau it isn't the money they have it is how they get it that concerns me and I saw nowhere that their wealth built quickly when they held a high office. Nor did I hear they took a drug addicted family member along on Air Force II or any other government conveyance to cut deals with our enemies. Nor have I heard anything about either one having family members with multiple sham businesses and numbers of bank accounts to launder money that was coming in by the multi-millions.
When you find anything of that magnitude going on, alert me to it and we can always do an appraisal of them. To this point I know little about either of them as I do not devote my days and nights on politics. Speak out has been my biggest time waster.

The interrelated causes were the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, OPEC-R price increases, and supply/demand imbalances.
Biden alone isn't at fault.

Trump has as much capability to "straighten this mess out" as a manatee does. I'd suggedt that the current crop of republican candidates could barely do better.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Jul 27, 2023, at 3:13 PM
And just who do you suggest do you think can straighten out the mess Biden created. No one forced Biden to sign those couple of EO's that got it started. Or since he is merely the dummy maybe some one die. Who was it Obama?? I suppose that. And we are still suffering supply shortages over two years later. I had a computer failure. Called the Tech Company I use and the only thing they could find at the time was less than what I had. So I took it along with an external hard drive to fill the needed capacity. Aggravations I did not like. Yesterday I was finally able to get what I needed and have another one on order. So I pay twice to get my stuff transferred to a new machine.
I will vote for whomever runs against Biden or Clinton.

Leftau, the words and thoughts in my response down to the typo. I take full responsibility for what I said or questioned.
I have always given Biden full responsibility for the mess we are in. He caused the price increases in anything associated with oil, therby creating inflation with a single Exective Order. He created the border crisis with another Executive Order. Trump had it under control, I do not care what you think or say about how. These people are not here seeking asylumn. They are here seeking welfare and the Democrats look upon them as a blessing that will allow them enough votes to retain permanent power one day. I predict that will be the day when the citizenry rises once more and we have another Revolution or Civil War in this Country. Call it what you like.
Short of that, the citizens of this country will become the loyal subjects of the Democrat Rulers.
So if you did not understand what I said before, let this be my clarification.
One more thing. I do not believe Joe Biden wrote either of those Executive Orders. I would suspect it is the little Nagger who it is still questionable on his citizenship and legitimacy as President. Another Rags to Riches Politician Bought and Paid for by George Soros.

Well at least that is the European Version of Inflation used by Leftau because it suited his purpose of Packing Water for the Democrats. I didn't see it address Biden's Executive Order effectively opening the border and straining our security and costs of feeding these millions of people he caused to invade our border. People who have been well coached to claim protection from their home countries. Our poor Southern States have been overwhelmed with this Mistake.

Still confused Mr. VanGennip? Apparently so.
The border between Arkansas and Missouri is an open border.
The border between the US and Mexico is not an open border. It's not an open border simply because there is a border patrol, customs agents, agricultural inspectors, immigration agents, passport controls, fences gates, etc. Furthermore, US law permits entry for asylum seekers.
No matter how many times you make your fake claim, it doesn't change reality.

Rick S.,
Your reference to President Biden claims:
“He has no end game in the Ukraine, just keep pumping in more money and arms "as long as it takes."
I’m sure you recall several Ukrainians pointing out that, “If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends.”
You could also ask what’s our “end game” in Israel. Since November of 2020, about $146 billion taxpayer dollars have gone to Israel for their defense and other military aid. I understand that need completely and am definitely not arguing against it. One main reason can be seen with a paraphrase of the Ukrainian fears:
“If Arabs stop fighting, the war ends. If Israel stops fighting, Israel ends.”
So you could ask, how long will our aid to Israel “take?”
Actually, in my opinion, Putin’s war will end as soon as Trump is securely out of the Presidential race. He’s clearly imagining a Trump win which could put the brakes on US and NATO support to Ukraine.
A Putin win would destroy Ukraine, endanger NATO, threaten the US, and could likely embolden China to attack Tiawan.
So we need to keep it up for as long as it takes, and actually President Biden is doing a good job of making that work.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Jul 28, 2023, at 2:10 PM
The border between Arkansas and Missouri is an open border.
Leftau that is about as ignorant a statement as I have seen an adult post.
And you keep posting it.
Yes I am aware that our Southern Border has all of these things but they are not enforcing anything. The asylum thing is just a game. It is nothing but a catch and release game. TRUMP HAD IT CLOSED. Biden screwed it up. I don't care about your excuses.

I believe before the dust all settles Biden will join Trump on the indictment stage and I believe one or the other, you want to pick, is no more or less guilty than the other.
But at this stage of the game they will hopefully be judged by a jury that is not made up of their political henchmen or enemies.

Saw a header the other day for a piece about Trump indictments. Says it all about the ongoing “git ‘im” effort:
“Finally,something that may stick”
Years in the search just to find something that may stick.
When will all these people remove their heads from a firm insertion up the posterior and realize the more Trump leads the news cycle the more he loves it and in a way supports his reelection.
If he’s their enemy and already judged a criminal then they’re aiding and abetting him. Blind hate does have a detrimental effect on good judgment.

Trump's records for impeachments and indictments will always be highly detrimental to any possibility of his reelection.
There may be a short term gain in the possibility of his re-nomination as the republican candidate, but the best that will do is crash the former republican party.
He also is picking the pockets of his base and other gullible republicans/conservatives for cash that ends up for his personal use.

"Actually he was found guilty by about 57 Senators."
Which means zero, nada, nothing as has been explained to "his denseness" numerous times. It takes 2/3 to convict and the vindictive Dimocrats had to know that before they drug the country through it, not once but twice because the Dimocrats are obviously like "His Denseness" slow learners.
Leftau can you condemn a man to a death sentence for murder with a simple majority of the jury?
As bad as you wanted it to be, Trump was not convicted in those two Impeachment Trials as anyone with a primary school education could have told you. It was a freak show from the beginning and ended as expected, not guilty as charged.

Mr. VanGennip, what you fail to grasp is that the Constitution says nothing about being adjudged innocent or guilty, it simply refers to removal from office.
So a president can be found guilty, but not removed from office.
And not being removed from office clearly does not mean he can't be indicted after he's out of office, which is going on now.

So Water Boy you can double talk all you want but if he wasn't judged to be guilty and removed from office what was he as charged in the articles of impeachment.
I believe if you are not found guilty then you are innocent.
So as far as a 2nd indictment on the same charges, what do you think the posability of Double Jeopardy arising?
I am not an attorney and neither are you Leftau. So your opinion really amounts to squat. We shall see and the Monday Morning Quarterbacking will come front and center. And will bear as much weight in the game.

He falls up steps, he protects his son from prosecution on tax evasion and an illegal weapons charge, you know the smartest man he knows, there is dope in the White House, the Biden Crime Family is laundering money through a maze of bank accounts and sham businesses that do nothing.
These millions 0r dollars coming into the Biden Crime Family are not just alleged, they are happening and are not justifiable for honest work performed.
This man needs to spend a term in what Rick calls a caged hotel. Not another term in the White House.

It will interesting to learn who will be subpoenaed by Trumps attorneys. The government thought police obviously didn’t think this thing through.

The problem is that individuals subpoenaed by Trump lawyers will have to testify under oath and tell only the truth. Perhaps his his attorneys can subpoena good republicans like Cheney and Kitzinger.
I'm sure you also noticed that virtually all persons referred to in the indictment are either Trump administration members or associates. They had no choice but to tell the truth.

What if through all of this accusing and harassment Trump is elected in 2024.
Will the Democrats be dumb enough to go for impeachment again and will the action be commenced prior to the January 20, 2025 inauguration?
Just think it would give Leftau the 999th opportunity to state not the twice impeached President but the thrice Impeached President.
Not withstanding the first two, the 3rd attempt would also fail.
I will predict this much, whomever runs, 2024 will certainly be the runner up to the most hate filled year our Country has experienced since the Civil War.

Right. Being indicted for about 76 felonies (and more to come) is exactly what Trump wanted.
Already over half of republicans, virtually all of independents and about 100% of democrats don't want his presidency and do want him to go away.
Those numbers will only grow after convictions roll in. Many of his cult members and maybe a couple of SO Conservatives continue to support him and defend him regardless of his absurd and crazy claims.

A burst of new disclosures exposing the extraordinary efforts by ex-President Donald Trump to steal power after his election defeat constitute a grave warning about the future and his potential bid to recapture the White House.
The audacity of the former President’s attempts to subvert the law by weaponizing the Justice Department not only underscores how close the United States came to a full blown constitutional crisis this year. It also emphasizes that any attempt by Trump to use a war chest already worth $100 million to try to recapture the White House in 2024 would represent a mortal threat to democracy and the rule of law from a leader who was undeterred even by his own first impeachment.
New revelations emerging from Senate testimony, about a Trump Justice Department loyalist’s alleged behind-the-scenes efforts to call into question elections in states the ex-President lost, also render the continued GOP whitewashing of history about Trump’s crimes against the Constitution even more blatant and dangerous.

Funny how if something anti Trump comes out it is al allegation in Leftau's mind, but if it is anti Biden it is merely a Conspiracey Theory.
Just like he says in one place that Trump was not found innocent in the impeachment all our Constitution speaks of is removal from office. It does not mention guilt or innocence.
On the other hand he will state that 57 Senators found him guilty. Bur nowhere does he mention the threshold that must be reached to remove a President from Office.
How would you like to be accused of something and be a known Republican or Conservative and look up and see Leftau sitting on the jury?

Mr. VanGennip,
As mentioned several times before, republicans are finding it harder and harder to defend Trump. Apparently that doesn’t include you.
Recall this instance of false equivalency….
“Biden is just as guilty or innocent as Trump of having Classified Material in a number of his premises and way more careless in where they were stored from all indications.”
Keep in mind that Trump stole hundreds of highly classified documents and showed them to uncleared civilian visitors, after lying about having any, hiding them even from his lawyers and finally surrendering them after a court ordered search warrant.
Neither Pence nor Biden required legal action to force them to return documents. Both had very few classified mixed in with unclassified, both were unaware that they were still in their possession, and both returned documents immediately.
And you claim…
“…Biden is just as guilty or innocent as Trump…” and if that’s not defending Trump, nothing is. Imagine your indignation, antagonism and fury had the roles been reversed.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Aug 12, 2023, at 12:46 PM
Lettau why do you rehash everything....are you coming down with the Joey Biden Brain Fog?

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Aug 12, 2023, at 12:46 PM
Water Boy, across the board one is as guilty as the other. Trump didn't have to get rich being s politician he was already rich. Contrary to Biden who never had a real job and saw his wealth increase and multiply with the Vice Presidency and Presidency.
I stake my opinion on a past President's opinion. Went something like this.
Show me a man who got rich in politics and I will show you a crook.
You can add the Soros Purchased President to the list Leftau.
And a crooked President is not measured simply in numbers. Take 10 documents or a hundred, makes little difference.
Same thing applies to murder. Kill one person or 10. Either case you are a murderer. Get one life sentence or execution or 10. The results are the same.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Aug 13, 2023, at 12:31 PM
So Leftau, you are going to have to come up with something better than that to put words in my mouth.
What I am saying if you don't understand WaterBoy, YOU and your argument that I am defending Trump is weak.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Aug 13, 2023, at 12:36 PM
More false equivalence from Mr. VanGennip.
Intentional murder vs accidental manslaughter. In someone's Trumpist mind there's no difference.
Recall Trump claiming that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave and his cult members wouldn't care. "The results are the same..." unless you're Trump.
Guess that show Mr. VanGennip's true colors.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Aug 13, 2023, at 1:08 PM
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Aug 13, 2023, at 1:08 PM
Leftau taking millions for selling out your country has nothing to do with manslaughter.
You are the one who brought up documents in comparison. If Trump took a document you call it theft.
And just what are my true co look ors
If Biden took a document you title it inadvertent.
They are both the same so you want to call it theft.
So if that is theft, they are both thieves. That is what I am telling you Leftau.
And I don't believe Trump has been accused of taking bribes. Biden has. Not officially with an indictment yet.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Aug 13, 2023, at 5:05 PM
Biden did not take "...millions for selling out [our] country..."
Trump did take Putin's word over that of our intel agencies.
Whether "...Trump has been accused of taking bribes..." has not yet been determined. He was impeached for and confessed to bribery of a foreign government official.
"Biden has" been accused by right wing conspiracy nuts, there is no proof whatsoever.
----- ---- --- -- -
One more time to simplify the differences...
Neither Pence nor Biden intentionally stole documents. Trump did.

Neither Pence nor Biden were actually aware of documents in their possession. Trump was.

Neither Pence nor Biden required the FBI to recover documents. Trump did.
Neither Pence nor Biden asked staff members to conceal documents. Trump did.

2. Trump did take Putin's word over that of our intel agencies.
Responce: Perhaps, where is your proof?
3. Whether "...Trump has been accused of taking bribes..." has not yet been determined. He was impeached for and confessed to bribery of a foreign government official.
Response: His impeachment was filled with lies and did not convict or remove him for office.
4. "Biden has" been accused by right wing conspiracy nuts, there is no proof whatsoever.
Respponce: use whatever childish language you want to refer to his accusers. Those millions he garnered during a little over the last 10 plus years were not given for nothing. In your language I suppose Trump was accused by Left Wing Conspiracey Nuts.

7. Neither Pence nor Biden were actually aware of documents in their possession. Trump was.
Responce: That is pure BS. You have no way to know that
8. Neither Pence nor Biden tried to keep documents. Trump did.

Mr. VanGennip, do you see a minor difference here?
Sure do. Trump was a Republican and Biden was a Democrat. And Pence was thrown in to keep me from using that fact.
And we are not nearly finished with Biden. Trump has been indicted. We will see what the Jury says.
I see where Impeachment has been filed against Biden. A waste of time. I hope the Republicans don't show that they are as less than smart as the Democrats were. An impeachment has not been successful as of this time in the history of our Country. It is strictly Politicts. One camp indices the other says not guilty in so many words.

Some of the Charges are political BS.
On Biden I do believe the millions of dollars flowing through all of those bank accountants and businesses are valid charges, and earned through graft, for lack of a better word.

Mr. VanGennip,
You may have to rethink your claim “… I won't be seeking any help from you.”
Someone with a superiority complex as unequivocally obvious as yours, needs to be cautious in rejecting accurate information.
For example…
I posted, “Trump did take Putin's word over that of our intel agencies.”
Your response was, “Perhaps, where is your proof?”
Your lack of understanding, in asking for “proof” is clear indication of your retreat from reality. How could you not be aware that on July 16, 2018, during the Helsinki summit, President Trump backed Putin on Russian election interference.
Here’s what was said:
"My people came to me. Dan Coats came to me, and some others," Trump said. "They said they think it's Russia. I have President Putin. He just said it's not Russia. I will say this: I don't see any reason why it would be."
Again how could you pay attention to political events and not know what happened there?
----- ---- --- -- -
Another example….
I gave you 8 specific and accurate differences between Pence and Biden’s handling of classified documents and how Trump handled them. Those facts are well documented and completely open information available to all Americans.
Yet you were apparently unaware of the truth of those statements, because you falsely considered them “…lies. “Intermingled with your accusations based on your Leftist Politics.”
Again, my point was that you seem to have little concept of what is really going on in our country.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Aug 14, 2023, at 11:23 AM
It’s been quite a few weeks for sure. The MSM can’t ignore the Biden Crime Family anymore and has to actually report on it even though they are choked up about it. The git ‘im is in full ahead charge. The guy who gave H Biden the sweetheart deal is now the special prosecutor. Ain’t that sweet? A H Biden former associate testified under oath that pins a lot on ol Joey and his denials(make that lies). And the bank records!! Oh My!! You know all that conspiracy stuff. The secret service who knows everything about everyone can’t figure out the coke deal or so they claim. Then top it all off with something that was always suspected. Obama is gay. Crazy times.

The MSM has been reporting on the Biden family all along. The problem is that the RWCT can't find any crime at all, never mind one that's provable (with the exception of Hunter.)
And even with him, the right wingers who have been demanding a Special Prosecutor, finally got one that's a republican appointed by Trump, and they're still not happy. Guess it's always harder to please hypocrites.

Leftau, there has been hasseling back and forth on election interference in the 2016 election depending on which media you listen to. I believe the Democrats spent a good portion of Trumps term trying to prove this even using a phoney report from Hillary Clinton as some of their proof. But show me proof where there was actual interference. Without that why wouldn't Trump agree with Putin. The Mueller Report says there was none if I am not mistaken.
And so far as the assumed stolen documents were concerned. If the documents were absolutely not allowed out of the Governments offices, then it appears to me all three are guilty as thieves. They all had documents. Yes some were give back when it was discovered the mess that Trump was in over them. But your BS about Biden inadvertently having taken classifed documents. Don't be so blatantly dishonest about that. Do you really think we are so dense we should belief that any of them are that low IQ. Inadvertently is your word Leftau. And we should believe they didn't know they were in their possession. Even though they were boxed up and stored in the garage in one case. And are we supposed to believe that Biden's Lawyers just happened to find them. Next you will be trying to convince us Biden's lawyers were cleaning out his garage.
No Leftau I see no need of help from you. I try to deal in reality not make believe BS.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Aug 14, 2023, at 4:54 PM
Rick I agree government documents should stay government, but I don't think Trump was the first to remove them and won't be the last. I have never been to a Presidential Library but I bet it would be interesting to find out what is in there in the way of documents. The people from President on down are the employees of the people of the United States and what they produce while being paid by us should be ours.
That said, checkout the Biden Library in some college in Deleware. I have read that they have truckloads of documents and they will not let the Freedom of Information Folks see what they have. Now who do you suppose gave those government documents to the Biden Library. It has been reported that it was none other than Slo Joe Biden who donated them. If I had more time I would do some checking on it. But cannot right now.

Yes it was Gore who lawyered up and challenged the voters first. Then it was Hillary Clinton who wanted to try and get the Electoral College to vote other than instructed by the voters of the States involved. Leftau has mentioned more than once she one the popular vote nationwide. I think he should know by now that is not how the vote works in this country. Pretty sure a Grade School American History Student is aware of how our Presidents are elected.
And then we got to the Trump Biden race and things intensified considerably.
What I find amusing, as it turned out, Leftau voted for Trump. Like it or not.

You lost once more...
Still having problems with facts.
Gore asked for recounts is close counties. Bush got the Supreme Court to halt recounts. Gore conceded anyhow.
Clinton conceded also. There was no attempt to overturn the legal result.
My vote is recorded on a paper ballot. Unless you snuck in and changed my vote, I never voted for Trump. EC results are collective, and have nothing to do with individual votes.
You're nowhere near being able to change my vote.

With Trump ahead of his Republican opponents by 30 to 50 points per various polls, they need him on the debate stage, he doesn't need them. As far as big mouth, Chris Christie the Bridgegate Governor who was not given a job in the Trump administration and has been crying every since.....who cares about a 4% poller.

1. You lost once more...
Response: I disagree.
2. Still having problems with facts.
Response: No
3. Gore asked for recounts is close counties. Bush got the Supreme Court to halt recounts. Gore conceded anyhow.
Response: that is what I said GORE started it... Bush replied and countered. Yes Gore conceded because he knew he lost.
4. Clinton conceded also. There was no attempt to overturn the legal result.
Response: Like I said Clinton explored messing with the Legal Electoral College.
5. My vote is recorded on a paper ballot. Unless you snuck in and changed my vote, I never voted for Trump. EC results are collective, and have nothing to do with individual votes.
You're nowhere near being able to change my vote.
Response: Leftau your final and the vote that counts rests with the Electoral College and that vote went for Trump. I don't know or care what is on your paper ballot. I suspect a single mark for all Democrats. But Missour's vote also my and your vote went to Trump. Sorry that you are dumber than a 6th grade History student.

Keep it up Mr. VanGennip. Each response puts you farther off base, and makes you appear more unhinged.
Giving you one more chance to be reasonable.
Gore had every right to request legal recounts. Bush had no right to go the Supreme Court to stop all recounts.
Clinton did not try in any way to overturn the EC vote. Think for a second, that's what Trump tried and failed.
Individuals cast votes for individual candidates. The State of Missouri awards all EC votes to the winner of the popular vote. No matter how much that confuses you, it's still reality. Think again, 1,253,013 citizens and I voted for Biden, and the final EC vote doesn't change that.
As I said from the beginning, you're zero for three, still.

All you know is Trump, Trump, Trump.
Trump stands or falls on his own merits or lack thereof. Has absolutely nothing to do with the successes or failures of these other people. You have been obsessed with Trump since he beat Hillary Clinton and the Missouri electors helped him to win. And they represented you along with the rest of us who live here.

The following little article sent to me by a friend, shines a light on where most of the problems that plague this country today originated.....
"Interesting list, even more interesting is Trump is not on it nor any other repubs.......
A Pretty Good Summary Of How We Got Into The Mess We Are In
The list and explanations therein offer evidence and compelling arguments. The exact order, well, not and exact science. The litany of actions as seen in the list—staggering.
Dropping down to Carter; in the first President Reagan term, beneath the massive Pershing desk in the Sec Def’s office was a carpet and nearby an ornate table, gifts from Iran’s Shah. Often wonder; where are they now?
Kerry continues to spew craziness, the Clinton’s ravage everywhere, and Soros is the evil funder. It’s amazing that Americans cling to such evil. Given the demise of Christianity, no surprise. Those of Faith know who wins. Keeping that Faith is the challenge.
The Biden facade manages to hide those on this list as he is the puppet for their string
THE 10 Most Destructive AMERICANS of the Last 100 Years
Hard to disagree with any of this.....
This comes from a Vietnam friend & I couldn't find one thing to disagree with. We can't go back and start over but we can hope, pray, and vote for the end of this destruction.
Have you ever wondered to yourself after watching the evening news, “How did we get in this mess? It by this retired U.S. Army gradually slid toward our current situation with the guidance of these people in their various capacities, as well as those they influenced.
A list of scum that have fomented the destruction of our democracy!
By Hawkins - US Army Retired Intelligence Officer.
America has undergone enormous change during the nearly eight decades of my life. Today, America is a bitterly divided, poorly educated, and morally fragile society with so-called mainstream politicians pushing cynical identity politics, socialism, and open borders. The past president of the United States was impeached twice and acquitted twice because the other side doesn’t like him. The once reasonably unbiased American media has evolved into a hysterical left-wing mob.
How could the stable and reasonably cohesive America of the 1950s have reached this point in just one lifetime? Who are the main culprits? Here’s my list of the 10 most destructive Americans of the last 70 years:
10) Mark Felt – Deputy director of the FBI, aka “Deep Throat” during the Watergate scandal. This was the first public instance of a senior FBI official directly interfering in America’s political affairs. He was the forerunner of James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Andrew McCabe.
9) Bill Ayers – Represents the deep and ongoing leftist ideological damage to our education system. An unrepentant American terrorist who evaded punishment, he devoted his career to radicalizing American education and pushing leftist causes. Ghost-wrote Obama’s book, “Dreams From My Father.”
8) Teddy Kennedy – Most folks remember Teddy as the guy who left Mary Joe Kopechne to die in his car at Chappaquiddick. The real damage came after he avoided punishment for her death and became a major Democrat force in the US Senate, pushing through transformative liberal policies in health care and education. The real damage was the 1965 Hart-Cellar immigration bill he pushed hard for that changed the quota system to increase the flow of third-world people without skills into the US and essentially ended large-scale immigration from Europe.
7) Walter Cronkite – Cronkite was a much-beloved network anchor who began the politicization of America’s news media with his infamous broadcast from Vietnam that described the Tet Offensive as a major victory for the Communists and significantly turned the gullible American public against the Vietnam War. In fact, the Tet offensive was a military disaster for the NVA and Viet Cong, later admitted by North Vietnamese military leaders. Decades later Cronkite admitted he got the story wrong. But it was too late. The damage was done.
6) Bill and Hillary Clinton -- It’s difficult to separate Team Clinton. Bill’s presidency was largely benign as he was a relative fiscal conservative who rode the remaining benefits of the Reagan era. But his sexual exploits badly stained the Oval Office and negatively affected America’s perception of the presidency. In exchange for financial support, he facilitated the transfer of sensitive military technology to the Chinese. Hillary, a Saul Alinsky acolyte, is one of the most vicious politicians of my lifetime, covering up Bill’s sexual assaults by harassing and insulting the exploited women and peddling influence around the globe in exchange for funds for the corrupt Clinton Foundation. She signed off on the sale of 20% of the US uranium reserve to the Russians after Bill received a $500,000 speaking fee in Moscow and the Foundation (which supported the Clinton’s regal lifestyle) received hundreds of millions of dollars from those who benefited from the deal. Between them, they killed any honor that might have existed in the dark halls of DC.
5) Valerie Jarrett - The Rasputin of the Obama administration. A Red Diaper baby, her father, maternal grandfather, and father-in-law (Vernon Jarrett who was a close friend and ally of Obama's mentor, and likely actual father, Frank Marshall Davis) were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government. She has been in Obama’s ear for his entire political career pushing a strong anti-American, Islamist, anti-Israeli, socialist/communist, cling-to-power agenda.
4) Jimmy Carter - Carter ignited modern-day radical Islam by abandoning the Shah and paving the way for Ayatollah Khomeini to take power in Tehran. Iran subsequently became the main state sponsor and promoter of international Islamic terrorism. When Islamists took over our embassy in Tehran, Carter was too weak to effectively respond thus strengthening the rule of the radical Islamic mullahs.
3) Lyndon Johnson – Johnson turned the Vietnam conflict into a major war for America. It could have ended early if he had listened to the generals instead of automaker Robert McNamara. The ultimate result was this:
A) 58,000 American military deaths and collaterally tens of thousands of American lives damaged;
B) a war that badly divided America and created left-wing groups that evaded the draft and eventually gained control of our education system.
C) even worse, his so-called War on Poverty led to the destruction of American black families with a significant escalation of welfare and policies designed to keep poor families dependent on the government (and voting Democrat) for their well-being. He deliberately created a racial holocaust that is still burning today. A strong case could be made for putting him at the top of this list.
2) Barack Hussein Obama - Obama set up America for a final defeat and stealth conversion from a free-market society to socialism/communism. As we got deeper into the Trump presidency, we learned more and more about how Obama politicized and compromised key government agencies, most prominently the FBI, the CIA, and the IRS, thus thoroughly shaking the public’s confidence in the federal government to be fair and unbiased in its activities. He significantly set back race relations between Americans by stoking black grievances and pushing radical identity politics. Obama’s open support for the Iranian mullahs and his apologetic “lead from behind” foreign policy seriously weakened America abroad. His blatant attempt to interfere in Israel’s election by trying to unseat Netanyahu is one of the most shameful things ever done by an American president.
The Number 1 Worst American is John Kerry – Some readers will likely say Kerry does not deserve to be number one on this list. I have him here because I regard him as the most despicable American who ever lived. After his three faked Purple Hearts during his cowardly service in Vietnam, he was able to leave the US Navy early. As a reserve naval officer and in clear violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, he traveled to Paris and met privately with the NVA and the Viet Cong. He returned to the United States parroting the Soviet party line about the war and testified before Congress comparing American soldiers to the hordes of Genghis Khan. It was a clear case of TREASON, giving aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war. We got a second bite of the bitter Kerry apple when as Obama’s secretary of state, he fell into bed with the Iranian (“Death to America”) mullahs, giving them the ultimate green light to develop nuclear weapons along with giving them billions of dollars that further supported their terrorist activities. Only the heroic Swift Boat Vets saved us from a Manchurian Candidate Kerry's presidency. Ultimately we got Obama. (if you think this might be in error, read: Unfit For Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry by John E. O'Neill and Jerome R. Corsi | Aug 15, 2004) They tell the real story of Kerry’s Vietnam “service”.
Dishonorable Mentions! (Just missed the list)
John Brennan – Obama’s CIA director who once voted for Communist Gus Hall for president. A key member of the Deep State who severely politicized the CIA. Called President Trump treasonous for meeting with the president of Russia.
Jane Fonda – a movie actress who made the infamous trip to Vietnam during the war, in support of the Communists. She represents hard-left Hollywood that has done so much damage to our culture.
Robert Johnson – As head of Black Entertainment Television he helped popularize ho’s, *******, and pimps while making millions on great hits such as “Jigga my *****”, “Big Pimpin’”, “Niggas in Paris” and, “Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.” Many scholars within the African-American community maintain that BET perpetuates and justifies racism by adopting the stereotypes held about African- Americans, affecting the psyche of young viewers through the bombardment of negative images of African-Americans. Who can disagree?
Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. – Head of the New York Times. Once the gold standard of American journalism, the paper always had a liberal tilt and occasionally made bad mistakes. As the years have gone along, the paper has slid further and further left and today is virtually the primary propaganda arm of the increasingly radical Democrat Party. Still retains influence in Washington and New York.
Frank Marshall Davis - Anti-white, black Bolshevik, card-carrying Soviet agent. Probable birth father and admitted primary mentor of young Barack Hussein Obama.
A special Reward goes to George Soros – An anti-Semitic Jew and former Nazi collaborator in his native Hungary who is a self-made billionaire. George Soros is the embodiment of evil! He has ruined countries with his monetary trading. He has also poured hundreds of millions of dollars into left-wing groups and causes. The damage he has caused is difficult to measure, but it’s certainly large. He funded much of the effort to kill the Trump presidency.
Let’s not forget that recently removed San Francisco DA Chesa Boudine was raised by Bill Ayers & wife Bernadine Dohrn because his mother and father were both in prison for the murder of two Brinks guards and were members of the Weather Underground!
These were all sorry excuses for human beings with wealth, power and/or influence on the entire country at one time or another who have done their best to undermine everything this country was founded on, either by design, blunder, or bad judgement."
I did not edit, delite or add to the list.
And Leftau I am sure you are disappointed that Trump is not on the list.

Rick I wasn't the author and I saw a lot of truth in there. I am sure there are plenty of mistakes over the years. But if you leave it to someone like Leftau, it is all in one man and I think we know the answer to that.

‘Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest‘: Trump Said He is ‘not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!’, but Numbers Can’t Seem to Prove His Claim
Story by Sylvia Silverstone •7h
----- ---- ---- --- --- -- -- -
Claiming he’s a genius, challenging people to IQ tests and not officially taking any, is a habit of the ex-president that he couldn’t break during his white house tenure. Still, Trumpists don’t actually need numbers to admire his intelligence.
“You’re an F.ing genius,” one of Trump’s supporters wrote to him on Twitter back then.
“I.Q. tests confirm!” the former president confidently replied without showing his IQ score.
Trump’s hard work to prove his intelligence to the public didn’t stop there; he wrote in the same week that his successful career as a politician, businessman, and television personality “would qualify as not smart, but genius . . . and a very stable genius at that!”
While some ¬on the right portray accountability for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as just another partisan dispute, two prominent conservative legal scholars have made the case that the Constitution disqualifies former President Trump from public office.
Last week, law professors William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas — both members of the conservative Federalist Society — argued in a law review article that Trump is already constitutionally forbidden from serving in public office because of Section Three of the 14th Amendment.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Aug 17, 2023, at 1:36 PM
"Still, Trumpists don’t actually need numbers to admire his intelligence."
How about it, Mr. VanGennip, do you admire his intelligence without numbers?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Aug 17, 2023, at 1:13 PM
Leftau, I don't ever remembering commenting on Trump being a genuis or not. I will go this far, what he did in the four years in office for the country certainly proves he is smarter than the current occupent based on his performance and the mess he has us in with illegals running all over the country.
I do make some judgements without having the numbers to look at but would not judge them nay or yay on if they meet genuis standards. Speaking on intelligence alone, I would say Trump is no dummy in having accumulated the wealth he has. He certainly didn't do it in office as the current President has since he has never held a job. But I am not going to guess at the level of intelligence.
Now if you want me to start assigning what I think their IQ levels are, you might want to be careful. I might start with you. Because you appear to be dumb enough to think you can require me to make a definitive statement on something I really have never studied.

Leftau, I studied what was important to me in some of the following areas, the business I was in which improved my position in life. Also things I collected over the years, like antique watches, antique jewelry, antique clocks and a few other collectable items. And I devoted a lot of time in the area of Genealogy.
Your silly crap like what I think about some politicians IQ level or if or not he is of the genuis level never interested me and I did not follow it. Your own personal IQ level is suspect with your total devotion to the ruination of one man. Obviously your hatred for the man and what appears to be a sick desire to see him spend the balance of his life in a prison is a sign of mental issues with you.
I prefer to spend my life with things I enjoy.
I further have dabbled with technology over the years starting with putting our business into the modern age of computers instead of the Stone Age paper and pen accounting and record keeping. And today I still use a computer for business purposes and personal record keeping rather than just a toy to get on something like speak out to read the ravings of a mental midget with a political agenda.

Sure Lefftau I have outside interests, but they were secondary to my career and that is where I put the bulk of my time. And I was complimented today in doing a reasonable respectable job at it as well. So far as competence at political analysis I would put you ar rock bottom. Your only indication of any real analysis appears to be Democrat Good - Republican or Conservative Bad. Something I have no respect for. There is a better reason for choosing your politics than because Daddy and Grandpa was one so I gotta be one to. Don't matter the party in that kind of brainless decision. I have both in my background so I don't have to be a follower.
My analysis for political decisions depends how close the Candidates actual politics follow my thinking. I have supported Republicans and Democrats both on local and state levels based on their performance vs their opponents and how well they fit my Conservative Views. And all Republicans are not Conservatives nor are all Democrats Liberals. There are certain traits I will not tolerate in a politician.
And in way too many cases we are forced to choose the best of the worst as unless you want to waste your vote you have only two parties to choose from.

Rick. Maybe my thinking is off, but I go to the polls to vote against as much as for anymore. No paper ballots here. I use my theory of card playing from days gone by. I get a card from my opponent and I say that's 20 points for me. He says that card is only worth 10 points. I say, I know 10 points I have and 10 you don't, that's 20.
So looking at the possible winners in a voting situation I try to make my vote count for 2 against the Greater of the Two Evils in the possible winners. Vote for one that cannot win and it is only one vote.
Think about that for a minute. Am I wrong? See I sell you my bridge for $5 and I am $10 better off than you. Right?
We both started off with $20. Now I have $25 and you only have $15.

In case 1. Your comprehension is so bad you didn't get it or 2. My responce doesn't meet with your agenda I will say this much. You say Trump's which puts the question in his ownership. I do not know what Trump believes. So far as what I believe is my business. And it will be a cold day in hell before I give you the satisfaction of knowing one way or the other Water Boy.
Those are your answers. You may not like them, but you may as well take them for what they are because that is all you get.

Now if you had merely said I did not say what you wanted that would have been truthful.

Mr. VanGennip,
It’s not clear what it is that could cause you to feel “belittled?” If it’s a comment on your “superiority complex” keep in mind that you are the single individual on SO that regularly refers to his “superiors” and his “inferiors.”
As for “name-calling,” on my part it’s non-existent. I have continually referred to you as Mr. VanGennip. From your part the “name-calling” is continuous. I’d be surprised if there were a single post in which you didn’t engage in some version of that childishness. Furthermore, your puerile practice is not something that’s ever bothered me, and still doesn't. I point it out now because you’ve claimed some insincere equivalence.
Another strange custom is the accusation that I’m trying to put “words in your mouth.” What possible reason would I have to want to do that? Clearly, you’ve got more than enough words of your own in your mouth. If I make a comment on something you’ve posted, that’s all it is, a comment. Should you make an assertion that I differ with, I'm obviously free to comment on it.
For example, there’s this:
“A discussion with you is [comparable] to arm wrestling a 6 year old.”
or this…
“It is merely a situation like a guy on crutches challenging a hiker to a foot race.”
And yet you claim…
“…I have no Superiority Complex.” (Neither then does Trump, right?)
I’m guessing you’ll excuse everyone, when they fail to take you seriously.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Aug 19, 2023, at 7:37 PM
"It’s not clear what it is that could cause you to feel “belittled?” If it’s a comment on your “superiority complex” keep in mind that you are the single individual on SO that regularly refers to his “superiors” and his “inferiors.”"
Leftau, find a post where I have referred to another as an inferior.
Saying you are not my Superior is nothing more than saying you are not in a position to be telling me what to do. In the line of Command a Superior carries a higher rank on the command chain. I do not take orders from you, therfore you are not my Superior. Could mean you are equal to or of a lower rank. I did not use the word inferior.
I did not use the term uou are not my boss. Which is the same thing.
Now let's check your style...
"As I said, "weasling" through to dodge questions implies clearly the you're not smart enough to answer them."
That was very complementary wasn't it?
And Leftau (Oh yes I changed a letter in your namel) That was to make it fit your Political Position.
When you start demanding an answer to a leading question. Let's making this clear. You are not my Superior, my Commsnding Officer, my Foreman or my Boss. So demand something from me, you will get in a response terminology I choose to use, if I choose to respond at all. And should i chpose to respond, you will get a response as I see fit to give it. If that doesn't suit TS, as none of these fit my relationship to you, Superior, Commanding Officer, Foreman or Boss.
And that is my explanation take it or leave. I never called you or any other poster an inferior as I remember it. I cannot help it whatever you may or may not feel.
So far as putting words in my mouth. Yes I believe you do with twisting what is said by me, or with loaded questions that are easier to see through than a window pane.
Like trying to get me to comment on your question regarding Trump and his level of intelligence.
You may have noted that Trump's IQ level is assumed on that list of President's I linked you to. Which means they don't really know either. They're guessing.
We took a test when I was a senior and were each called in for a conference with the Superintendent during which we were told our number. I do not remember the exact number. My interest centered more on the one I had cut out of the herd for a lifetime partner. We will soon be married 66 years, a hell of a lot more important than a number.
None of which gets you anywhere unless you apply yourself.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Aug 19, 2023, at 9:25 PM
Couple of interesting points...
This sound familiar..
"Long ago I stopped taking orders from my inferiors, you may save your ordering around for someone that cares."
I'm also certain that "demanding answers" is basically impossible on SO.
On occasions where a phrase set off with ellipsis points, instead of an entire sentence or paragraph, it is to provide direction to the source of a comment, not to change or twist meaning.
As far as "changing a letter" goes, it's not just childish, but also inaccurate. Had you paid more attention over time, it would be clear that my position on the political range is much closer to the center than the left.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sat, Aug 19, 2023, at 10:42 PM
"As far as "changing a letter" goes, it's not just childish, but also inaccurate. Had you paid more attention over time, it would be clear that my position on the political range is much closer to the center than the left."
Well now Leftau, that could well be the most humorous statement I will read today. I grew up in a Conservative family setting both Democrat and Republicans. Also a basically Conservative County and State.
And you sit there and try to tell.me you're a Centerist.
I haven't heard anything more laughable yet this year.

"Long ago I stopped taking orders from my inferiors, you may save your ordering around for someone that cares."
Leftau same explanation as last night. I didn't remember using the word, but the "taking orders" wording would have made it clear to most exactly what I was saying. It obviously had to do with chain of command.
So Leftau if I use that particular group of words again, please know that it is not your presumed IQ level I am referring to. I keep that to myself.

As mentioned numerous times before, you don't really seem to pay attention.
Over numerous years, I've supported...
...reductions in the size of government, specifically by zero based budgeting.
...cuts in government spending through cuts in subsidies.
...stabilization of Social Security and Medicare by adjusting eligibility and withholding.
...implementation of balanced budgets.
...maintenance of a strong and viable national defense.
...continuation and promotion of international agreements.
...rationalization of business and environmental objectives.
At the same time, I've opposed...
...all of the silly gender "choices."
...any number of sexes other than 2, with exception of abnormal sexual development.
...any gender manipulation of minors.
...illegal immigration.

For those who have reading disabilities I will repeat. I do not think Trump should run again. This country has been through enough hate and discontent.
However if the Leftists run Biden again, the Republican candidate will get my vote whomever they run, as I do not vote for those who cannot win. It's that two vote principle Leftau. You know one that Biden doesn't get and one the opponent who has a chance to win gets.
Now you may take that anyway you chose as I rarely see things the way simple minded folks do with a simple yes or no.
Kind of like will I wear a coat when I leave home to go vote. It depends on the temperature as it happens in November and I live in Missouri.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Aug 20, 2023, at 10:56 AM
Not to be "putting words in your mouth," but it appears that if it's Biden vs Trump, you'll vote for the one-term, twice impeached, four times indicted, disgraced former occupant of the oval office.
That should be simple enough for you. But just relax, your answer is already penciled in as a yes.

Leftau, you're very perceptive. Trump's biggest problem is he is like you in this respect,he has too big a mouth. So far as performancece, the economy was better, inflation was lower and our Southern Border was closed and protected. Now I hear the Chinese are coming in through Mexico. You can buy that seeking sanctuary BS, I do not.
A couple of years ago, a distant cousin from Holland who I had met through Genealogy, had been trying to get a permanent VISA for a number of years and could not. I suggested, go to Mexico and walk in. She would not. She had all of the requirements, money to take care of herself, an education and a job prospect. She finally won the lottery. I took her from office to office to get everything required.
But if you are a Joe Biden illegal you walk in, if you get caught, claim asylum and register and then disappear into the masses. We will feed you, house you, educate your children and give you money. Is this a great country or what.
Yes Leftau, if the local dog catcher would run against Joe Biden I would vote for him over Biden.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, Aug 20, 2023, at 12:53 PM
Leftau, since you are nosey enough to ask who I would vote forp, I eill ask you a question.

Another thing Leftau, your childish sing song description of Trump, could add about 6 more descriptions to it. Hell I think you could make a full paragraph out of it with a little work, and look even more juvenile.
Maybe I could help you make it a little more accurate by adding.......
1. As of now convicted on none of the indictments.
I will let you work on that for a while and then give you another suggestion from time to time.

Leftau this just occurred to me.
A couple of years back as a Freshman in High School another student and I got caught "discussing" in Study Hall the merits and lack of the candidates Eisenhower and Stevenson.
Well the study Hall Teacher assigned us each to write a report on the merits and weaknesses of each candidate.
My opponent described Eisenhoer as a "Bald Headed Old Bat" in his report. Even I thought that was childish for a Freshman.

“…with a brain dead leader at the helm.”
“…about that burned out shell.”
“…the Biden money laundering chain…”
“…Ole Slo Joe is sharp as a tack.”
“…he is crooked.”

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Aug 21, 2023, at 1:27 PM
“If the race came to Biden or DeSantis, who would you vote for and why?”
Right now, my vote would go to Biden. DeSantis has shown some competence as a governor, however, lately he’s launched off on some party vote buying lanes that border on being unconstitutional and undemocratic. Examples are his “don’t say gay” battle with Mickey Mouse, his ‘book burning” crusade, his unwillingness to stand up to Putin as by continuing the US/NATO support to Ukraine, his bogus claims that critical race theory is a “threat” to grade schoolers, his basic dishonesty in dealing with the Trump “legacy.”
I still feel that there is no necessity for President Biden to run again. There are a few democrats that I strongly support, my first choice is still Tim Ryan.
No matter who runs as the democratic candidate, the republicans will lose for certain if they nominate Trump. Other republicans have a chance of winning, Trump doesn’t.

First Leftau, what I said aboutt Biden is true. Have you never watched him?
Further, I don't repeat it over and over to Nauseum.
Now yes, you told half of the truth about Trump, you leave out the parts like, the Pollitically motivated Impeachments never passed the required test, and it goes on and on like a school kid.
Leftau, do you consider yourself smarter than a 3rd grader? If so why don't you act it?
And of course I knew you would vote for Biden, he's a Democrat.
Obviously from Biden's failings, and your willingness to vote for him anyway, I think if Trump was still a Democrat you would vote for him.

It would strange if you were actually paying attention.
There is nothing in my description of Trump that is untrue. Your defense of him doesn't hold a drop of water. Both impeachments responded to illegal activity. He was impeached for what he did, not for who he was.
At the same time, there's nothing in your accusations against Biden that is true. Obviously you wouldn't repeat them because they're fabrications.
The true "3rd grade" activity is the invention of false insults and pretending they are valid.

"Both impeachments responded to illegal activity. He was impeached for what he did, not for who he was."
Lefty, Lefty, accept the impeachments for what they were. Political revenge.
neither one held water. They proved absolutely nothing. Just like the first portion of his term of office. It was Russian Collusion, over and over. Pursued with a phony report obtained by none other than Hillary Clinton.
And Biden you want to portray as pure as the new fallen snow. He didn’t go from less than a $38,000 net worth before his term as VP to a $9,000,000.00 net worth on a VP salary. Nor did he do it on selling $5 & $6 books. You would have to be dumber than a box of rocks to believe that he did.
The Democrats cannot keep his dealings out of sight forever. And you Lefty, trying to cell yourself as a Centerist. I would have to be on your level to buy into that BS lie.

Personally, in spite of Lefty's slurring them on here numerous times, I am a Conservative and proud of it. I believe in people and their ability to d o for themselves. Always try to be available to give others a hand up but never a handout at the expense of hardworking taxpayers. I believe in the hand up that allows others to maintain their pride and self respect. Not demoralizing handouts. I have never drawn 1 days unemployment. When I lost a job I got a another job. And when I worked I got an education at my own expense. And I self educated. I am not a Centrist and I am damed sure no Liberal, sucking the welfare teat.

Again, another indication that someone doesn't pay attention, what Schiff said is no surprise. The January 6th committee had no authority to bring charges, but they were able to collect evidence and hear witness testimony.
With the exception of some Capital Police members, the majority of those appearing before the committee were republicans and/or members of the Trump administration.

The way I see things is like this. Trump beat Hillary and the Democrats have been after him ever since. Remember the Russian Collusion the Democrats went after Trump with using a phony report paid for and used by Hillary Clinton during her failed campaign. Then the two shots at removing him from office with Failed Impeachements. He served every hour of his Presidency. Good, Bad or Indifferent we had better times than we are having with Biden who is inches away from being exposed for what he really is.
This crap cannot continue, it is ruining this country. Biden is a Rags to Riches President and he didn't get there honestly. This I believe. Trump did a better job, he didn't need the money but has this country divided, Who's fault is it? What we do not need is another 4 years of this hate and discontent.
Neither Biden nor Trump should be on the ballot in 2024. Biden is too incompetent and is mentally shot and Trump is too divisive.
Howeverr If the Democrats nominate Biden, then the only candidate for the Republicans is Trump to prevent a split Republican vote on Trump as an Independent. And that is precisely what the Deocrats are hoping for. They do not care for the good of the country, if they nominate Biden, it is strictly the power of the office they desire.
They proved that last term when they ran a man who publicly mistook his wife for his sister and is one of the few people I am aware of who can consistently fall up a set of steps. Down would be understandable. Likeability was Biden's only qualification in 2016.

More “vision” corrections to the latest Vangennip rant…
The democrats were not “after Trump” because he beat Clinton, they opposed Trump because of his self-serving and dishonest character, coupled with his ineffectiveness. Recall the day one insistence that my crowd was bigger than his crowd.
The republican led investigation into “Russian collusion” was directed toward campaign interference by Russian individuals and agencies. The Mueller report charged 13 people and 3 Russian agencies. It was not directed toward the Trump administration or staff.
No one ever gave the “phony report” any credence at all.
The two impeachments resulted in majority, bipartisan guilty votes, that did not reach the level for removal from office.
Trump occupied the position of US President for every hour of his term, but “served” Trump first, not America.
Trump was only “bad or indifferent,” and the during his term the post-Obama, pre-Covid 19 times were clearly better than the pandemic/post-Covid 19 times. The most obvious, and sad, characteristic of the early Trump period was that he hired good people, didn’t listen to them, and they left him to his sycophants.
Biden really is a far better President than Trump ever was or could be (a possibility which is toyally untenable.) The various conspiracy theories have a common thread of the crimes of Hunter needing to be extended to the President, and there’s no proof of that.
Biden was honestly and fairly elected, evidence to the contrary does not exist, in spite of Trump/VanGennip claims. That Biden is a “rags to riches” President is as absurd as “Trump did a better job.”
If nothing else, Trump is the single individual responsible for the “4 years of this hate and discontent.” With over 40 Presidential elections in our history, there has never been a single occasion where the loser has violently tried to overturn the fair and honest result. Only Trump is so dishonorable and disgraced.
Neither Trump nor Biden should run in 2024 because Biden is too old to hold public confidence, and Trump is too dishonest, divisive and disparaging.
Biden or any competent democratic (Tim Ryan is still my recommendation) can easily beat Trump. Any competent republican (John Sununu is my suggestion) would be more than competitive with Biden and possibly win. The other “Trumpist” candidates would also lose.
The only thing that the last term (2020) election proved was that Biden won the popular vote by over 10 million votes.
Finally, Biden’s “likeability” was not at issue in 2016.

Leftau, I will place my political vision up aganst yours any day.
I do not live and breathe politics as you apparently do. And I do not believe the sun rises and sets in the *** of some politician as you appear to do. I have other interests and I do manage assets I acquired during my working years that keep me from being a ward of the government.
As I have stated to you before, I am a Conservative and Proud of it. I believe in a man who is down and out be given a hand up that allows him to keep his self-worth and dignity and helps him get back on his feet. I do not believe in handouts as the left does for people who are able bodied and could be working while employers are begging for help with signs.
I have no respect for an able-bodied individual who rides the handout wagon while he spends his time in front of the big flat screen or is out hunting or fishing while jobs go begging.
If that does not fit your Leftist, vote buying philosophy, so be it. I can live with myself.

Leftau, whatever appears to you in your dazed condition is your problem. However I have my opinions and at this point, I wouldn't share one with you just to see you fail at your attempt to get me to do your bidding. I find your consternation to be quite amusing. So anything you accuse me of one way or the other is a lie because you don't really know.🤣🤣🤣🤣
So far as where I feel the left is heading with their Socialism, and eventual Communism. Left unchecked it is inevitable because they desire power over people. You only have to examine their motives in the last election to know that they elected Biden, not because he could do a good job of governing, which has been proven he is a loser, but because he hsd likeability and they figured he could win and put them in power.
I repeat, so far as governing ability, he is a failure. Lust for power is a dangerous thing. And dangling freebies in front of voters is a way the Democrats go at winning.
Now you know what I think on that subject Leftau. Keep on trying to make me say want you want me to say and I will see to it that you lose again. How many times have your tried now. About four I would guess. Laughing at you as always!

OK Leftau, I have quit laughing! First Your should be You're.
Now this business of making up one's mind and how you do it. I would remind you of your. Now that he has raised himself to a Pedestal post back in November 2016 when Hillary was pronounced the loser. You had no basis obviously as you could produce none. You kept on bringing up future events that you claim to have based your statement on. And the beat goes on.
Examining the facts I made up my mind on these two subjects long ago and after examining the facts. Your problem is I told you what and why on my Item 2 decision and also I have arrived at a conclusion on Item 1 as well. It is just that I refuse to give you the satisfaction of telling you what my conclusion is.
I think it is funny that you are so discomforted in the fact that you cannot force me to share my thoughts on the matter with you. On the one hand I may have determined that Trump really won and on the other hand I may have determined that America just lost their mind and Biden won.
As I sit here typing this I am laughing to myself in the fact that you have no way to determine what I think and I am not about to tell you.
And should you decide to invent a response from me, you are lying because I haven't told you.
You have a nice evening Leftau. I am!

Been to busy to mess with Leftau's misconceptions but will take a few minutes to correct this mess.
1.) More “vision” corrections to the latest Vangennip rant…
Responce: I don't rant Leftau, I point out inaccuracies and lies.
2.) The democrats were not “after Trump” because he beat Clinton, they opposed Trump because of his self-serving and dishonest character, coupled with his ineffectiveness. Recall the day one insistence that my crowd was bigger than his crowd.
Responce: Leftau we both know better than that. You were on him within hours of it being announced he was the winner and you haven't left up for 6 plus years.
3.) The republican led investigation into “Russian collusion” was directed toward campaign interference by Russian individuals and agencies. The Mueller report charged 13 people and 3 Russian agencies. It was not directed toward the Trump administration or staff.
Responce: I believe the Democrats held them majority in the house and it was the Democrats who were on him with the phoney Hillary Clinton Report. The Democrats dogged him from day one for 4 years.
4.) No one ever gave the “phony report” any credence at all.
Response: At least you admit it wass phoney. But the truth is the Democrats used it against Trump anyway.
5.) The two impeachments resulted in majority, bipartisan guilty votes, that did not reach the level for removal from office.
Response: So the Democrats wasted Time and Treasure on a 2nd one which was destined to failure before they started. And I would hardly call it Bipartisan consistently of 100% Democrat and a couple of Republican enemies of Trump. And we both know the requirement, which only makes the 2nd attempt more ridiculous and wasteful.
6.) Trump occupied the position of US President for every hour of his term, but “served” Trump first, not America were the result.
Response: You may see it as you want, but the facts are we were finacially better off under Trump than we are this incompetent President.
7.) Trump was only “bad or indifferent,” and the during his term the post-Obama, pre-Covid 19 times were clearly better than the pandemic/post-Covid 19 times. The most obvious, and sad, characteristic of the early Trump period was that he hired good people, didn’t listen to them, and they left him to his sycophants.
Response: Since you want to bring up Obama, let's not forget the recovery from recession during his term was the slowest and weakest since the Great Depression.
7.) Biden really is a far better President than Trump ever was or could be (a possibility which is toyally untenable.) The various conspiracy theories have a common thread of the crimes of Hunter needing to be extended to the President, and there’s no proof of that.
Response: Even you are not so dense as to belive that bit of BS. So far as Biden and his crooked son are concerned, even you cannot be;oeve there are no connections, Biden hauled him around on Air Force II and the bank records are proving that Biden shared in his son's ill-gotten payoffs. What is worrisome is what of this is going to come back to bite American in posible sold government secrets.
8:) Biden was honestly and fairly elected, evidence to the contrary does not exist, in spite of Trump/VanGennip claims. That Biden is a “rags to riches” President is as absurd as “Trump did a better job.”
Responce: I challenge you to find anywhere that I have made any claim as to who won the election. While you have tried and tried to make me make a statement one way or the other, I have not. So that would make a liar out of you.
So far as Biden is concerned and a Rages to Riches Politician.... I stand on that. Financial information available to anyone with enough brains to research is available on the subject. Biden's net worth was stated as being less than $30,000 before he became Vice President. His net worth recently was stated at $9,000,000. And the man has never held a real job. So if you take the previous close to 50 years prior to vice President and them increase his net worth by over a million dollars a year as Vice President, why don't you tell us how he did it honestly. It sure as hell wasn't from selling books for a meager $5 or $6 a wack I can assure you. If you believe in a former Democrat President's statement, there is no wa in hell he could have done it honestly and consistent with what a Vice President could possibly earn legally.
9.) If nothing else, Trump is the single individual responsible for the “4 years of this hate and discontent.” With over 40 Presidential elections in our history, there has never been a single occasion where the loser has violently tried to overturn the fair and honest result. Only Trump is so dishonorable and disgraced.
Response: That is two statements seperated by 4 years of hate and discontent. Four years of constant harrassment and it is a wonder Trump accomplished anything.
Next, I have been around a couple of years and there has been more than a little dissatisfaction. So far as just who to place all of the blame on for the Jan 6th mess. You have never seen me condone it, but neither do I, nor do you have ALL of the facts on just who the blame falls on. And I doubt it is a single individual.
10.) Neither Trump nor Biden should run in 2024 because Biden is too old to hold public confidence, and Trump is too dishonest, divisive and disparaging.
Response: The first half of that statement was taken from my post, you failed to credit that. And my reasons stand. Make up your own statements.
11.) Biden or any competent democratic (Tim Ryan is still my recommendation) can easily beat Trump. Any competent republican (John Sununu is my suggestion) would be more than competitive with Biden and possibly win. The other “Trumpist” candidates would also lose.
Response: Leftau I stand on what I said about Biden and Trump and for the reasons I gave. So far as the rest of the Republicans being Trumpist which is another one of your goofey terms. Not buying it.
My hope is a true Conservative arises and we settle down to being the America our Founders envisioned.
12.) The only thing that the last term (2020) election proved was that Biden won the popular vote by over 10 million votes.
Response: Could be, I never looked at the final numbers. Whatever, they resulted in us being stuck with a failure as a leader.
13.) Finally, Biden’s “likeability” was not at issue in 2016.
Response: That I totally disagree with because his "capability" sure could not have been the issue in 2016.

Mr. VanGennip claims that he’ll “…point out inaccuracies and lies…” is a blatant example of his wishful thinking. For example:
1. Check where he uses all caps at part of his rant.
2. His saying “…we both know better…” is a great example of his wishful thinking. My pointing out Trump’s lies and fabrications didn’t start with his election, they ran throughout the campaign. Recall “Mexico will pay.” My objections to Trump have never been related to who he is, rather it’s always been about what he does and what he says. I know better, not sure if he does.
3. The republicans initiated the Mueller Report, not the democratic Congress
“May 17, 2017: Mueller appointed special counsel. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announces Mueller’s appointment to oversee the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, a move that comes almost immediately after Trump fires James Comey as FBI director.”
4. As I said no one ever believed the phony report.
5. Both impeachments were based on crimes committed by the President. Republicans ignored their oaths and put party over country.
6. As I said we were better off until Trump disregarded all advice on the Covid 19 Pandemic. Recall “it’s only one guy from China…”
The Obama recovery grew the economy by about 16% or about 2% per year. Before the Trump bust from mishandling Covid, the annual economic growth averaged about 2.3%. How is that different? Where was “greatest economy” in US history?
7. The easiest comparison between the two is their legislative accomplishments. Biden had bipartisan bill for infrastructure, gun safety, computer chips, and more. Trump failed on all those counts.
What’s funny is the claims of Biden fabricated financial issues don’t come close to Trump’s 4 indictments. Plus there are now questions about the Jared and Ivanka being hauled around on AF 1 to deal with the Chinese and the Saudis.
8. It has never concerned me that you appear to be unaware of who won the 2020 election. What you believe is totally up to you, no one else cares.
Make up whatever you want bout Biden’s finances. There is no record of any illegality.
9. Actually Trump accomplished next to nothing. What you want to call harassment was his being held accountable for a variety of crimes.
Apparently someone discounts the simple fact that had Trump not called his cult to Washington DC on January 6th, there would have been no riot, no insurrection, no attack on the capital, no claims of stolen election, etc.
If Trump is not solely responsible, who is?
10. To Trump being too dishonest, divisive, disparaging add him also being too old, and very likely too much in jail.
11. if you’re not familiar with the term Trumpist, look up MAGA republican or…
Trumpism as a set of ideologies, social emotions, style of governance, political movement, and set of mechanisms for acquiring and keeping control of power …
If you want true conservatives, go with Kitzinger, Cheney, Romney, Christie, Sununu, Kacich etc., unless they’re too honest for you.
12. Try going back to accomplishments. Trump is the true failure.
13. Biden was not running for anything in 2016.
14. Your responses reveal your weakness for “wishful thinking.”

I support a strong, viable national defense.
I believe in honest government.
I propose reductions in the size and cost of government.
I want Congress to balance their budgets and shrink deficits.
I believe that Trump is the most dishonest, disreputable and immoral person ever to sit in the oval office.
I am convinced that Trump's big lie has done more to divide our nation, than any other single action in history.
Now Mr. VanGennip is welcome to justify his beliefs in the "polar opposites" of the above issues.

Vaccinate America getting 63% of Americans had shots within a year.
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act — into law. Bipartisan act signed in November 2021.
The US unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in December, 2021.
U.S. gross domestic product grew at 5.7 percent over 2021, the strongest economic growth in 37 years.
CIA took out Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda leader in Kabul
Bipartisan CHIPS Act 2022 to promote semiconductor production in the USA.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 on Health Care and Inflation reducing deficit by $300 million
Solidified and expanded NATO to allow Ukraine to resist and drive back the Russians and Putin.
Overcame republican “red wave” predictions to hold on to the Senate and lose only a few seats to republican control of the House.

Trump 1.4% Inflation
Trump 3.25% Prime Interest Rate
Trump 30-year fixed mortgage rate 2.769%
Trump Oil Independent
Closed Southern Border - Stay in Mexico Policy.
****************
Biden $3.39 gal gas (local)
Biden $3.99 gal. Diesel (local)
Biden 3.2% Inflation (5% or greater for 24 straight months)
Biden 8.50% Prime Interest Rate (Over 5% for 12 straight months)
Biden 30-yr fixed mortgage rate 7.915%
More Americans die from Covid in Biden's year 2021 = 455,000 than Trump's year of 2020 = 351,754
Biden Oil Dependent on OPEC and begging for increased production. The Strategic Petroleum Reserves has been cut in half.
Biden Southern Border allowed free entry of over 5 million Illegals since 1/21/21 costing taxpayers Billions of dollars every year.

Leftau I stand on what I said before. I repeat it below. I have read your Leftist Democratic BS on here for a good number of years now. None of your last few postings changes my opinions and thoughts on you in the inth degree. I am proud to state that I am a Conservative as both my grandfathers and parents were. On the grandfathers one was a Republican and one was a Democrat and as I said before, both held Conservative views. From your postings it is obvious what you are, but now seem to be especially ashamed to admit it. You cannot have the Conservative views that you claimed and which I believe are blatant lies, and still go out and support every Leftist Democrat whose name comes up. Your past Leftist, Socialistic viewpoints are a dead giveaway. And your slurring remarks about the S O Conservatives, of the past just further point it out. If you truly believed all those points you mentioned, you would be reporting Conservative Republicans.
So Lefty, I stand on the following that I stated before.

"Covid 19 Relief Package and Vaccine rollout/distribution initiative."
Leftau, First the Covid Vaccine was developed in record time because Trump got Government out of the way. Biden has zip, zero to do with that.
Secondly, the Distribution was just getting started under Trump. Vaccines that had not yet been developed and tested yet could hardly be distributed.
But distrution was begun under Trump, proof, Biden got a shot priot to being sworn in.
Biden has once tried to claim the credit for getting the Covid Vaccine developed. Now you want to claim that Biden should get credit for the Distribution.
The following spells out the approval date for distribution and the beginning of distribution a month or more before Biden became President. Would one really expect everyone in America to be vaccinated in just 30 days or less considering it had just been approved for manufacture on Dec 11th and none could be used until manufactured. Still it was being distributed before Biden became President. He received his shot before inauguration.
Leftau you are a typical glory grabbing Democrat trying to take credit for the work of others.
This goes right along with your claim of Conservative Values earlier.
So far as your claim to Conservative Values, that is a real hoot!
And as a backup, here is Biden claiming credit for the Covid Vaccine developement and distribution speed which incidently took place before he became President.

More VanGennip "mixfudion," fabrication and misinterpretation of events has always been his downfall.

The vaccines were developed in record time because Trump shut up and stayed out of the way.
Vaccine distribution was successful because Trump was too busy trying to overturn the results of a free and fair election from early November to January 6th 2021.

Mr. VanGennip,
"...a known Leftist Democrat with claimed Conservative values."
I don't personally know any "leftist democrats" as you define them. And I don't claim "conservative" values, my values are American values.
Consider a historical record…
“As I've mentioned many times, I think all Federal Government Regulations should be reviewed for simplification or elimination on a regular basis, and have suggested a zero-based system to justify all government budgets and manpower. By it's nature, that would require examination of regulations.”
-- Posted by commonsensematters on Tue, Dec 9, 2014, at 9:30 AM
“I have continually advanced proposals for smaller and less costly government. The way to achieve that would be to totally re-justify every federal agency's manpower and budget of a 5 to 10 year cycle, and do so on a zero-based format, and adjust Social Security and Medicare.”
-- Posted by commonsensematters on Tue, Feb 3, 2015, at 2:45 PM
“It's also why I have supported a range in reductions in the size and cost of government. Simple things like stabilizing social security and Medicare to self sustainability, decreases in federal manpower and funding by zero-based budgeting, revisions to tax code to reduce the deficit, and so on.
-- Posted by commonsensematters on Tue, Mar 1, 2016, at 4:25 PM
So it’s abundantly clear that I have been a proponent for reductions in government spending and manpower, rationalization of the tax code, and stabilization of Social Security and Medicare for almost 9 years. Those have been and still are my personal views and my recommended courses of action. They are not solely conservative/republican positions, neither are they partisan issues, they’re American solutions.
And in looking back to that time, it is obvious that you’re just as politically dense now, as you were back then.

"The Man Has No Standards": Trump Expresses Regret About Failing to Make Money From Saudi Arabia While in Office

We will need a little more information than your say so Leftau.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Sep 11, 2023, at 10:50 AM
And since Leftau won't print it, here is the rest of the story.
It is a series of slides I copied, be your own judge on what is saying instead of just a headline from a confirmed Trump Detractor. The numbering of the slides was mine. You're welcome Leftau.
1.) “The Man Has No Standards”: Trump Expresses Regret About Failing to Make Money From Saudi Arabia While in Office
At a South Dakota GOP event, former President Donald Trump expressed regret, claiming that he should’ve made more money from Saudi Arabia when he was POTUS.
2.) Missed Financial Opportunities
At the event, Trump reflected on missed financial opportunities during his time in office, particularly in Saudi Arabia. He said that he refrained from pursuing such deals, emphasizing his alleged commitment to ethical governance.
3.) Trump’s “Ethical” Governance
Moreover, Trump asserted that his successor – President Biden – may take a different approach regarding such business opportunities. Ultimately, he stood by his decision to prioritize his idea of ethical governance and vowed to continue doing so in the future.
4.) Donald Trump’s Son-In-Law
Trump’s complaint came in the wake of reports suggesting that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, may have garnered favor with the Saudi Arabian government after Trump’s presidency. In his monologue, the former president asserted that the country was eager to strike deals but that he had declined such opportunities.
5.) What Trump Said
The former President and potential felon said: “I could have made so much money. I could have. Sir would love to do a deal in Saudi Arabia. Sir would love to do a deal here and there. Would love to do a deal. I really can’t do that. Biden would do it! So we just, we did it right. We did the right thing and I do it exactly that way again and I will do it that way.”
6.) Trump’s Recent Claims
In a deposition related to the New York Attorney General’s civil fraud case against him, the former president defended his property valuations by asserting that the Saudis were willing to overpay for his real estate holdings. He cited an example of how selling his Turnberry property to the Saudis could yield a substantial profit, far exceeding its actual value.
7.) A Different Example
In another instance during the deposition, Trump stated that his Silver Springs property was worth $291 million according to his financial statement. He claimed it was the most valuable house in New York and that selling it to the Saudis could fetch that amount.
8.) Involvement With Saudi-Backed LIV Golf
Trump’s connection to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf has also come under scrutiny. This organization has hosted multiple golf events at Trump’s properties, raising questions about potential business ties and the intersection of politics and personal interests during his presidency.
9.) Shedding Light on Trump’s Perspective
These developments shed light on Trump’s perspective regarding missed business opportunities during his tenure as president, adding to the ongoing discourse about the ethical implications of his actions and financial interests while in office.
10) A Hypocritical Take
News of Trump’s words was shared across the internet and people were highly critical. People found him to be hypocritical in his implication that he prioritized ethics over money – something the former president undoubtedly did not do during his time in office and throughout his business career.
11.) Trump Has No Standards
One social media commenter said: “The man has no standards. He would literally do and say anything that would give him or his family an advantage or get him out of trouble. He has always been divisive but he especially excelled at trying to bring other people down and slinging mud in an attempt to make himself look better.”
12.) Trump Never Takes Responsibility
The commenter continued: “He still does this even now with his legal problems by going after everyone that ‘did him wrong’ – including judges, lawyers, and congressmen – instead of owning up to his mistakes and taking responsibility for his actions. The man has the emotional intelligence of a 5-year-old. Literally.”
13.) The Gullibility and Naivety of Trump’s Fans
Others made jokes about how gullible and naive Trump’s fans tend to be. “How many Trump supporters does it take to change a lightbulb? None. Trump says it’s done and they all cheer in the dark,” one individual wrote.
14.) Others Doubted Trump
A fair few commenters doubted the former president’s claim that he didn’t make much money from Saudi Arabia. “Whenever the loser says he didn’t do something – that is evidence that he already did it,” one individual wrote.
15.) A Contradiction From Trump
Others echoed the aforementioned commenter but explained their opinions further. One person said: “I remember him saying the exact opposite [and] bragging that he was the only president that made money while in the White House. He’s just trying to get more money by crying poor because he’s out of money to pay for his lawyers.”
16.) Controversies and Conflicts of Interest
Some people were surprised by the former president’s words. One person said: “It’s honestly a bit surprising to hear Trump talking about ethical governance. I mean, we all know he’s a businessman, so hearing him whine about not making enough money is a bit weird. But then he brings up ethical governance. What? His presidency was filled with controversies and conflicts of interest.”
17.) Any Publicity Is Good Publicity
Others talked about the potential deeper intentions behind the former president’s words. One individual wrote: “It’s funny how Trump mentions Saudi Arabia specifically. That’s been a hot topic for a while when it comes to US foreign policy and business interests for ages. He’s intentionally trying to make headlines. Any publicity is good publicity, right?”
18.) So Many Lies
Some people addressed Trump’s claims about Biden. One person said: “His statement about doing it the same way again in the future is quite definitive. I think he’s also trying to give his fans a sort of comfort, telling them that he’ll make things exactly the way they were while he was president. Also, what does he mean by ‘Biden would do it?’ So many lies.”
19.) Trump Supporters and Ethics
Others discussed Trump’s fans and wondered how they’d react to his words. One person wrote: “I wonder how Trump’s supporters feel about this. It was my understanding that the far-right supports Saudi Arabia. So surely his supporters don’t care about the ‘ethics’ here?”
20) “This Means That the POTUS Can Lie 24/7”: Judge Rules That Trump’s False Election Claims While in Office Are Covered by Presidential Immunity
Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas Michael Erdos has ruled that Trump was protected by presidential immunity when he made false election claims, effectively shielding him from the consequences of his words while in office.
“This Means That the POTUS Can Lie 24/7”: Judge Rules That Trump’s False Election Claims While in Office Are Covered by Presidential Immunity
20.) “Donald Really Thinks He’s God’s Gift”: Trump Throws Son Under the Bus and Claims He Was Too Busy “Saving Millions of Lives” to Commit Fraud
Donald Trump has claimed that his duties in “saving millions of lives” from a potential nuclear holocaust during his presidency left him too preoccupied to actively run his business empire. This was an attempt to defend himself against fraud charges.

21.) 21 Things Forbidden by the Bible (But You Might Already Be Doing Them!)
As we navigate the present day, it’s fascinating to discover age-old Biblical rules that might feel out of place today. From clean-shaven debates to the great pork dilemma, let’s dive into these intriguing prohibitions. Hold onto your hats because some of these are real eyebrow-raisers!

22.) “Jesus Was a Socialist”: Christianity in Crisis as Conservatives Finally Realize Jesus Was Woke
Russell Moore, once a prominent figure within the Southern Baptist Convention, has expressed profound concerns regarding the current trajectory of Christianity within the United States.

23.) Empty Pews, Changing Views: 18 Reasons Why Modern Congregations Are Thinning Out
Sit tight, friends! Have you noticed that your usual church-going squad is thinning out? Even the little old ladies with their prayer books seem to have made themselves scarce. But what’s causing this great church exodus? Let’s pull back the curtain and examine why some people are swapping the sermon for a Sunday sleep-in with our intriguing list of 18 reasons.

Huge "spike" in the coffin...
LOST, NOT STOLEN:
The Conservative Case that Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election
Senator John Danforth
Benjamin Ginsberg
The Honorable Thomas B. Griffith
David Hoppe
The Honorable J. Michael Luttig
The Honorable Michael W. McConnell
The Honorable Theodore B. Olson
Senator Gordon H. Smith
“We are political conservatives who have spent most of our adult lives working to support the Constitution and the conservative principles upon which it is based: limited government, liberty, equality of opportunity, freedom of religion, a strong national defense, and the rule of law.
We have become deeply troubled by efforts to overturn or discredit the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. There is no principle of our Republic more fundamental than the right of the People to elect our leaders and for their votes to be counted accurately. Efforts to thwart the People’s choice are deeply undemocratic and unpatriotic. Claims that an election was stolen, or that the outcome resulted from fraud, are deadly serious and should be made only on the basis of real and powerful evidence. If the American people lose trust that our elections are free and fair, we will lose our democracy. As Jonathan Haidt observed, “We just don’t know what a democracy looks like when you drain all the trust out of the system.” Paul Kelly, “Very Good Chance” Democracy Is Doomed in America, Says Haidt, AUSTRALIAN (July 20, 2019).
“We therefore have undertaken an examination of every claim of fraud and miscount put forward by former President Trump and his advocates, and now put the results of those investigations before the American people, and especially before fellow conservatives who may be uncertain about what and whom to believe. Our conclusion is unequivocal: Joe Biden was the choice of a majority of the Electors, who themselves were the choice of the majority of voters in their states. Biden’s victory is easily explained by a political landscape that was much different in 2020 than it was when President Trump narrowly won the presidency in 2016. President Trump waged his campaign for re-election during a devastating worldwide pandemic that caused a severe downturn in the global economy. This, coupled with an electorate that included a small but statistically significant number willing to vote for other Republican candidates on the ballot but not for President Trump, are the reasons his campaign fell short, not a fraudulent election.
“Donald Trump and his supporters have failed to present evidence of fraud or inaccurate results significant enough to invalidate the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. We do not claim that election administration is perfect. Election fraud is a real thing; there are prosecutions in almost every election year, and no doubt some election fraud goes undetected. Nor do we disparage attempts to reduce fraud. States should continue to do what they can do to eliminate opportunities for election fraud and to punish it when it occurs. But there is absolutely no evidence of fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election on the magnitude necessary to shift the result in any state, let alone the nation as a whole. In fact, there was no fraud that changed the outcome in even a single precinct. It is wrong, and bad for our country, for people to propagate baseless claims that President Biden’s election was not legitimate.

The situation is this.
Trump is not the problem. He has been out of office for 2 1/2 years.
We do have a problem, but the problem now sits in the Oval Office. He has spent his life in government never had a real job and he became a Multi Millionaire during his 8 years as Vice President. According to the information readily available on the Internet, he went from a position of a net worth of less than $40,000 to being a Multi Millionaire and if bank records prove anything that has continued to grow. However we have a poster who says bank records are nothing but numbers on a piece of paper.
I will repeat, former President Truman had it correct. Show me a man who has spent his life in politics and became wealthy and I will show you a crook. By the way Truman was a Democrat. Those may not be his exact words but the thought is there.

Leftau, you are so blinded by your hatred for one man you cannot see the problem as it exists today and that is Joe Biden not Donald Trump.
Biden opened the border and thousands of illegals come across the border daily. As an American citizen I have been harrassed crossing that southern border because I lost a receipt for about $20 worth of junk my wife had purchased.
But today an illegal can come to the border claim asylum be given a court date and be released into the country to not be heard of again
Biden stopped drilling and fuel prices went sky high.
Biden presides over excessively high inflation as is consistent with being a Democrat.
There are our problems today Leftau. Not Donald Trump.
I have stated my position on next years Presidential election and I stand by it.
America first not some damned political party as it is obvious where you stand Leftau all of your claims aside.
And I forgot to add. Biden with his free spending is on the brink of seeing a government shutdown. But all of the slime in Washington DC will continue to get their pay. The slime being our elected officials from the President down to the most recently elected Congressman or Senator.
No blindness on my part Leftau, I see what is going on and it disgusts me. Democrats and Republicans would rather slink around and infight than run this country.
And the Rags to Riches Politicians are the worst of the lot, starting with Joe Biden. If he has notthing to hide or fear he would open his finances to the American public.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Sep 23, 2023, at 2:01 PM
The Democrats are really scared of Donald Trump.....it's that Weaponzation of the DOJ by the Biden Administration in order to keep Joey Biden's Political Enemy from running For the Republican Candidate for President in 2024! Under Biden the USA has been turned into a 3rd world country!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Sat, Sep 23, 2023, at 2:55 PM
If the Republicans had spent half as much time on Biden as the Democrats wasted on Trump, Biden would have an impeachment or two on his record along with some indictments to go along with them.
The fact is America needs to get their head out of it and elect some new blood and get on with life. The biggest joke running is Joe Biden who falls up the steps of Air Force I and cannot read sensibly memos put together by his handlers. And he is a President who cannot be asked off the cuff questions, they have to be submitted ahead of time so his handlers can dream up a suitable response that he cannot read responsibly.
What a shame for America.

Biden would had an impeachment or two his record. A lie because there's no crime.
"...cannot read memos... is a lie.
Didn't open his finances is a lie, as his tax returns are public information.
Biden's "free spending" is a lie. Congress spends not the President.

And Leftau there is one thing you can count on.....
If Biden runs, the Republican opposing him gets my vote. I will not give it to someone who cannot win such as a third party. You can put me down as a NO Biden voter.
My reasoning, like it or not, he is incompetent as a leader and he is likely selling our country out for the millions gone and going into his bank accounts. Those are my thoughts and beliefs and I believe we will see it proven.

No fabrications there Leftau, they are stated as what I believe and if you don't like it TS.
You have your opinions I have mine.
Biden has proven his incompetence as a leader in the Afghanistan fiasco and in the economy of this country.
Trump is a lot of things, but on the favorable side, this country was better off financially.
Less people were finding more month left when the money was gone during the Trump Presidency. I was running low on fuel in my car a couple of days ago and I has less than $5 left out of a $100 bill to fuel up.
I believe there are many more people finding more month left after the money is gone during the Biden Administration. I have not left the grocery store without spending more than $100 on a weekly shopping trip in ages. And I do follow groceries and their prices as I out of necessity have had to become the food shopper for wife and myelf for the past 5 years.
Thank God I listened to a financial advisor 60 years ago. I do not know how people living on Social Security do it. And those with meager savings that they put away40 years ago find they buy little as we have not had a Democrat President in 50 years where inflation was not an issue.

Ex-Ukrainian President Wrecks Fox Host’s Attempt to Use Shokin in Biden Conspiracy: ‘Please’ Don’t Use This ‘Completely Crazy Person’
“Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko undermined one of the core claims that President Joe Biden’s critics have used to justify the impeachment inquiry launched into him.”
“Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade interviewed Poroshenko for One Nation over the weekend, about a month after his interview with Ukrainian former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
Kilmeade asked the former president to react to Shokin’s claim that Poroshenko fired him “at the insistence of then-Vice President [Biden] because I was investigating Burisma. There were no complaints whatsoever, no problems with how I was performing at my job, but because pressure was repeatedly put on President Poroshenko, that’s what ended up being [the reason behind] him firing me.”
This was based on a repeatedly-debunked narrative that Poroshenko emphatically rejected as false:
“What do you mean? He’s not your friend?” Kilmeade asked. Poroshenko told him he hasn’t seen Shokin in four years, adding that he played a very dirty game unfortunately.
“So that’s not true? He didn’t get fired because of Joe Biden?” asked Kilmeade. Poroshenko answered that Shokin’s firing was brought about by the Ukrainian parliament.”

Leftau so you admit he said it and claimed credit for the firing. Two hours, two minutes, two years. What difference does it make.
Biden claimed he caused the man to be fired.
Are you calling Biden a liar Leftau?
I am not confused in the least Leftau. I am just delivering a message. You are the one who seems to be confused.
Was Biden lying to us? Did Biden use our money to try and bribe the Leader of a foreign country or not? He says he did. Was Biden lying about it?

Mr. VanGennip,
In your case, it seems to be both confusion and forgetfulness. You've been provided with the facts on this issue several times, most recently through a Fox interview with Ukrainian President Poroshenko.
For you, a reiteration...
When Biden left Ukraine, they got the loan guarantee, and Shokin was not fired. 2 months later, after a IMF threat to withhold $40 billion, Shokin was fired by the Ukrainian Parliament.
2 years later Biden "lied" by embellishment and conflating independent events.

I say this sincerely. I hope for once Mr Lettau is correct. Why? Because the alternative is worse and that’s Harris. Possibly the most useless VP,for that matter,politician. The only job assignment she’s made good at was pulling Willie’s Wonka. Other than that a complete utter failure.
I would like an answer to this. Maybe Mr Lettau can answer. What was Hunter Biden and other family members receiving large amounts of money for?
Still,in my opinion the inquiry may be setting up to expose Biden for his lies but I’d rather they just concentrate on the lies although these sessions are making complete fools of the democrats trying every trick in the DNC Mafia playbook to personally attack witnesses and of course bring up Trump at every opportunity.
Someone should pull the fire alarm in those people when they try that BS because their hair is truly aflame.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Tue, Oct 3, 2023, at 2:21 PM
"What was Hunter Biden and other family members receiving large amounts of money for?"
As far as I know Hunter was trading off his name, may have had some contacts in US business, was supposedly a lawyer.
What other family members did, I have no clue. What the Congressional investigators should do is ask them.
The bottom line is that Congress doesn't care about them. If there's no provable connection to President Biden, they're wasting everyone's time especially their own.
Trump should be brought up because he's the only reason for these "investigations." Trump was rightfully impeached for obvious crimes, but had he not been impeached, there'd be no Biden impeachment inquiry.

“ may have had some contacts in US business”. Having a father as VP is a contact in business?

You asked the question and got an answer. Since you didn't like the answer you made up one of your own.
Trading off of his VP father's name does not mean he was selling classified documents nor does it mean that his "clients" ever received anything of value in the form of favorable treatment.

And if it wasn't for Hillary Clinton loosing to Trump there would have been no Ttump Impeachment. The Dimocrats went after him with a vengeance from the git go. Four years of waste of America's time and treasure.
So far as Biden's complicity he hauled his son, Hunter around in Air Force II to cut deals, even if he was ignorant of what His kid was doing, as most will never believe, ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Yeah it's Trump's fault according to the Water Boy. What ignorance is that? Joe Biden's Rags to Riches story needs to be examined in every detail and made public. It was impossible to do honestly on his employment. Harry Truman was correct. Harry Truman was possibly America's last honest Democrat.

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Oct 5, 2023, at 8:46 PM
Since your statement started all of this by declaring as a fact, since it was not prefaced as an opinion by you Leftau, that Joe Biden was only being prepped for impeachment by the Republican Congress because of Trump being subjected to two failed impeachments, I will venture my opinion. And I think the facts are going to eventually prove what is just not my opinion.
The money trail is where it starts Leftau. Joe Biden's Rags to Riches story doesn't have any logical reason that it was done honestly. All of this money flowing into Biden accounts from foreign entities for some reason other than they have too much money and they liked ole Slo Joe and Hunter, so they sent them some. There has to be a better reason than that. Follow the money Trail!
Now that Mr. Leftau is my opinion, let's hear your explanation for it. A man with a net worth of around $18,000 and growing it to around 9,000,000.00 in just 8 years as a Vice President should have some kind of justification for it. What do you think Leftau?

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Thu, Oct 5, 2023, at 9:10 PM
Come on Leftua, you going dark on me because you have no ansers?
Here is something else that bears some explanation....
""It was impossible to do honestly on his employment."
Totally and equally untrue."
Are you trying to tell me Vice Presidents make enough money to stash away almost $9,000,000.00 in 8 years???
According to what I read a VP salary is frozen at $235,100.00 since 2021.
The article shows where he and his wife made over $15 million in 2017 and 2018.
How do he do it on a salary of what was undoubtedly less than $235,000.00 when he was a VP in 2017 and 2018.
I simply cannot compute these numbers and come out with him doing it on a VP salary. And yeah, I am sure his wife made a good salary, but not that good.
So Leftau, my "OPINION" is based on some realities.
Not that I really expect your honest response.
And please spare us that Bank Statements are nothing but a piece of paper with numbers on them. And I presume that goes for a Financial Statement as well?
Math wasn't your strong subject in college was it?

Leftau, it doesn't matter what Trump may or may not have said, there is plenty of circumstantial evidence to work on and yes you can be convicted on circumstantial evidence. if Biden is eventually impeached it will end up like the past three Presidents who have been impeached. They will not get a 2/3rds majority and for the same reason you criticized the Republicans for. It will be strictly political. And yes know you have said Trunp was guilty and Biden is innocent, but you were lying because you did not preface it with you "think".
See how that works Leftau, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. That is what I have always heard. You should never accuse me of fabricating a statement when I failed to preface it with I think. You have been guilty of that so many times over the ears when you have made your accusals of someone or other who is not a Democrat it isn't funny. Just watch how you handle it in the future as you can be certain I will.
All I will say about the Biden Family is Follow the Money Trail, gather your own thoughts and make your own conclusions.
How do you account for those tax returns Biden filed in I believe it was 2017 and 2018 or maybe it was 2018 and 2019. But making a bit over $15 million in just two years as a Vice President isn't too shabby. Bring up the books and I will do a math exercise for you on how many of those $6 and $7 books he had to sell to do it. And they weren't exactly on the best selling list, as a matter of fact until you brought it up, I had seen none of his excelling at authoring books.
Would you like to debate what a bank statement is. I have looked at a couple over the years and believe I can hold my own with just about anyone who thinks they are only numbers on a piece of paper.
I think getting an impeachment on Joe Biden hinges on one thing. Follow the MONEY TRAIL!!
And Leftau, when you said that Biden was being impeached because Trump was, did you preface that with< I think. If not and you have no proof, them you were lying.
Now have a good night, as I am going to bed. But God willing and the Creeks don't rise, I will be back in the morning. I think, I think, I think, I think! Key words or proof that is what we need to see.

Trump impeachment was based on actual crimes, proof, valid evidence, on recorded phone calls and his repeated confessions, yet Mr. VanGennip disregards all of it.
The Biden "impeachment inquiry" is based on conspiracy theories, bank records of other people, no proof, not even an identified "crime," yet Mr. VanGennip views this sketchy "circumstantial evidence" as conclusive.

Leftau the asylumn excuse is BS and we all know it. Trump had the influx of illegals pretty much stopped and Biden blew it. And we have heard your excuse for it a hundred times maybe. Not buying that is the only way to keep them out. Trump had it stopped and I thank him, however he did it.
Biden opened the border to get rid of anything left over from Trump, nothing more and nothing less. He blew it and I wouldn't vote for him if he was running against the Bollinger County Janitor whomever that might be.
So far as the money being committed to the wall and he has to spend it, Pure BS. He is back to building the wall after stopping it because Democrats are demanding it. That after all of the wasted money on materials storage over the years. Biden is as useless as tits on a boar hog.
And I don't mean to take credit for the comparison but it has been around Bollinger County since my youth.

“I am against Leftist, Socialistic, Communistic politics and Politicians.”
Basically, so am I. Not sure what your definition of “leftist” is, but if it’s an “extremist democrat” I agree.
“I am a Conservative and proud of it.”
I’m happy for you. Aside from a few differing priorities and positions, there is nothing I have against conservatives. As a matter of fact, Kitzinger, Cheney and Romney are all strong conservatives who have openly put country over party.
“It is Country first and if you see it differently…”
What I see differently is that Trump was the worst politician, the most anti-American, and has done more damage to our democracy, than any individual in recent history and most likely ever.
Anyone supporting Trump for any political office has no right to claim country over party.

Claire McCaskill Makes A Blistering Point About GOP Values After New Polls
Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) highlighted the night-and-day reactions to the indictments of Donald Trump and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) by their respective parties.
On Thursday, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes asked McCaskill about new surveys of New Jersey Democratic voters. Just 5% of respondents in one poll said they would vote for Menendez in a future primary contest; 9% said they would in another poll.
“This is the way it’s supposed to work,” said McCaskill, a political analyst for MSNBC and NBC News. “I mean, one party, you have people who want the norms of ethical behavior and the respect for the rule of law, and, frankly, the sense that whether he did something legal or not, what’s in that indictment makes him unattractive to vote for as a United States senator.”
“On the other hand, you’ve got a guy indicted” on 91 felony counts, she continued, pointing to Trump’s four criminal indictments, “and his party wants to bring him back to the Capitol and have him in charge of the only part of government they control.”
Menendez has refused to resign or cease seeking reelection despite being indicted on bribery charges last month.
Trump is making a bid for the presidency again even though he’s been charged with allegedly attempting a coup, falsifying business records, mishandling classified documents and conspiring to overturn Georgia’s election results.
Both Menendez and Trump deny all wrongdoing.
But lawmakers and voters from their respective parties have responded very differently to the criminal allegations. More than half of Menendez’s colleagues in the Senate have called for his resignation.
Meanwhile, Trump is the front-runner in the GOP presidential race, polling at over 50% to win the party’s nomination.
A majority of his opponents said they would still back him as nominee even if he’s convicted.
Several members of the House Republican conference have in recent days proposed installing Trump as House speaker following Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s ouster.
Trump said Thursday he would temporarily take the job “if necessary,” but went on to endorse Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for gavel in the early hours of Friday morning.

LeftauI have already stated my opinions of Trump and Biden running for President and why.
That nothwithstanding the fact that Trump has been convicted of nothing. Indicting is easy, convicting can be another matter.
All of your ******* and moaning about Trump for over 6 years now but you see all of the money flow in the Bidem Family and you see nothing wrong. I have made my own salary for well over 60 years now and know what it takes to make money and Biden declaring over $15 million income on his and his wife's tax returns in just 2 years on a Vice Presidental Salary does not compute. Yet you choose to ignore that.
A direct question for you Leftau, how did he do it do you suppose?
Rags to Riches always need clairification in my opinion.
You don't do it on a political salary. It simply does not compute.
Once again I will use Harry Truman's reasoning.
Show me a man who gets rich in politics and I will show you a crook.

1.) So Mr. VanGennip refuses to confirm or deny his Trump cult membership. However, he defends him as being a great or good "administrator," and claims it's OK if you "truly believe" a big lie.
Response: Leftau, I believe the statement was that he was a better administrator than Biden, regardless nothing to do with membership in anything and it was not a defense it was a statement of fact as I see it. Try getting your stories straight Leftau.
Part 2 now where did I state that it's Ok if you truly believe a big lie. If you cannot remember how to quote what is truly said, or you only want to make up something that was not said at all, it would be better if you kept your fat mouth shut. That is not even close to what was said, so prove me wrong by looking up the exact statement that I made. Either way it will prove you to be a liar.
The very idea of cult membership should be so abhorant that "sitting on the fence" is unlikely.
2.) In Mr. VanGennip's case it seems that he " looks like" a cult member, "walks like" a cult member, and "talks like" a cult member, therefore it's likely he is a cult member.
Response: Leftau, another sentence where you forgot to preface your statement as your opinion. Therefore I call you a liar for the 2nd time.
3.) And the easiest way to prove he's not a cult member, is to admit the big lie is exactly that.
Response: Leftau you don't know much about me. I don't bend to bluster and bullshit and I will not respond to you one way or the other. I know what I believe and that is good enough for me. I don't bow to those who have not attained higher stature than I stand at. Therefore stick your bluster where the sun doesn't shine.
4.) The corollary to this is simply that refusal to deny the big lie, strongly confirms belief in the big lie.
Response: Once again Leftau you fail to preface your charge with the fact that it is your opinion.
And my refusal to state to you what I believe because I love the way it irritates you proves nothing. So take that corallary and stick it with your bluster.
Now Leftau I will tell you what I am thinking and enjoying at this moment. It is your inability to bluster and bully me into saying what you want to hear.
You might as well give it up Leftau. I have sat in meetings with people with a much higher stature than your own. At least I don't think your title would exceed the Senior Vice President of a major corporation and another 10 or so company people including the Credit Manager over billing procedures on contracted pricing. During which time the Credit Manager stated that he was confident that if I said the billing was incorrect that I was correct. I made my point in the meeting and the National Sales Manager, the Regional Sales Manager and my Sales Rep were told to not leave the building until my account was correct. I left vindicated.
Why did i tell you the above? To make you understand Leftau, I refuse to buckle to those who are not correct or not my Superiors and I certainly do not see you as either. I learned many years ago to keep my hand close to my vest. No need to expose to the competition if you are holding Aces or just a pair of 3's.
So you may whine and bluster all you want Leftau. I will tell you what I want you to hear and know. Nothing more and nothing less. What you hear will be true to the best of my knowledge. However I wouldn't acknowledge to you that the sky was blue just because not acknowledging it ****** you off. I owe you nothing and that is what you will get from me unless it pleases me.

Rick S.,
You comments on Trump this morning are spot on.
One factor you glossed over is that his firehose stream of lies have convinced a sizable portion of republicans that our elections are untrustworthy. It's utterly astounding that his constant rabble rousing has maintained his cult following. At some point, hopefully soon, they will recognize that their "emperor has no clothes."
However, suggesting that...
"......Joe Biden was the worse person possible to re-open America after the COVID shut down," is far from being a justifiable opinion. Clearly Trump would have been far worse.
To Biden's credit, immediately after the election he began working vaccine distribution procedures, while Trump at that time was plotting to overturn the election.
The Executive Orders signed by Biden in the first hundred days included 40 involving new issues and 24 reversing prior EO's. Fifteen concerned coronavirus, twelve on immigration, seven on the economy and so on.
The point is that he did not blindly sign whatever was put in front of him, in spite of what some believe.
Trump initiated the first few trillion in Covid relief, and in hindsight, Biden should have been more cautious in doling out more dollars.
In the first two years he was able to get Congress to approve more bipartisan legislation (infrastructure, gun safety, semi-conductors, etc.) than was passed in the previous 4 years. From that standpoint, he was the right person for the job.

Maybe they will learn something by this and think before they vote next Presidential election.

Mr. VanGennip,
Trump's first impeachment included a charge of Obstruction of Congress because he refused to spend the funds Congress authorized and appropriated for weapons for the Ukrainian military.
And as you know, President Solenskyy wouldn't give Trump "dirt" on Biden, because there wasn't any.
So were President Biden be unable to convince Congress to reprogram Trump's Wall funds, he could face a real criminal charge, rather than the phoney charges the House of Representatives has fabricated.
Understand now?
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Sun, Oct 8, 2023, at 7:49 PM
Trump was right with the Border Wall and Joey Biden under pressure from the Blue States Governors and Mayors came to the same conclusion!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Sun, Oct 8, 2023, at 8:13 PM
"Trump's first impeachment included a charge of Obstruction of Congress because he refused to spend the funds Congress authorized and appropriated for weapons for the Ukrainian military."
So what you are saying Leftau appears to be that Biden obstructed Congress when he shut off building the wall to begin wih. So he has commintted an impeachable offense. Is that what you are trying to tell us and promoting. He did shut it down and said that not one more foot would be built under his administration, is what I believe I have been hearing.
How long has Congress been obstructed by Biden's stopping the wall, about two years, so on with the impeachment. Maybe there is hope of getting rid of the loser after all. Accepting bribe money isn't enough to impeach according to You Lefty so maybe shutting down the wall for two or more years and letting all of the illegals in will do it.

It appears that Leftau now thingks the wall is a good thing since Biden is claiming it is his idea to build some more wall,
No longer the Trump Vanity wall, now it is the Biden Baracade.
I think it is funny watching Leftau stumble around making this look like it is now a good thing because Biden is going to build him some Baracade.

"Trump's first impeachment included a charge of Obstruction of Congress because he refused to spend the funds Congress authorized and appropriated for weapons for the Ukrainian military."
Leftau there is one little flaw in your reasoning here Leftau.
If you will remember the Impeachment by the Get Trump House, was not upheldby the Senate and he was not found guilty as required by our Constitution. And save your simple majority speech you have given a dozen times. It was meaningless, the Constitution says two thirds of the Senate anything less does not convict.
And spare us the rest of the speech as well. The Senate had never convicted or whatever the correct word in 4 impeachments. Even old lying Bill Clinton's with him lying under oath. " I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky" I believe were his words.

How is it then that you get so much wrong...
Recent example is your misinterpretation of Trump's first impeachment. That Senate republicans chose to ignore the crime doesn't lessen the criminality of his actions.
Most Americans understand that.
Another example is your false assertion that "...Biden is claiming it is his idea to build some more wall." That's totally untrue.
Also you have yet to accept the facts on the Ukrainian Parliament firing Shokin.
Those and more issues are indicative of the limits of your knowledge.

So you state in so many words that Biden is a liar.
So you call trump's actions that have been litigated according to our Constitution and found not guilty as charged criminal, so what? So you find what Biden is being accused of but not yet litigated as nothing but allegations?
So what, your knowledge and opinions won't buy you a loaf of bread. So what?
I have opinions of my own but they are not what I live on.

Triple B.... Biden Border Barrier!
I had a customer many years ago that was Triple B. Excellent man to do business with. Had to quit school at 14 because his Father passed and he was the oldest and had to do the farming and help raise his siblings. Started a business and was reportedly worth millions at his early from cancer. Still looking out for his younger siblings until death and as great a man as one could every want to know.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Oct 9, 2023, at 4:05 PM
Not to deviate from the Biden Border Barrier but maybe the old **** has seen the light after protecting other countries borders such as Ukraine,Taiwan and now Israel.
Just a comment on Iran backing Hamas and a sad bunch in our own government siding with the terrorist attacks is beyond the beyond of sanity. Who votes for these terrorist sympathizers?
Boy,did I have to edit this to pass muster with the “moderator”.
What wuss he must be.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, Oct 9, 2023, at 7:18 PM
Rick S.,
Here are a few very relevant considerations on the "$6 billion dollar windfall."
First of all, even though it's the Iranian's own money, they have yet to see a single dinar. Those funds are in a Qatari bank under US control.
The money came from Korean payments owed to Iran for oil deliveries. The sale of Iranian oil to Korea, India, communist China, and other countries was authorized by the last administration so there would not be spikes in gas prices here.
It's also extremely likely that the $6 billion will be "refrozen" indefinitely because of the Hamas terrorist attacks.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Oct 10, 2023, at 7:53 AM
Lettau to keep things simple....if the Iranian head accountant has available $8 billion for military equipment buying and $3 billion for humanitarian projects, then receives $6 billion in unfozen humanitarian aid then that head accountant will increase that $8 billion in military equipment by $3 billion since $6 billion will be forthcoming for humanitarian aid. So Iran legally receives $6 billion in humanitarian aid while increasing their military purchases by $3 billion!!

In case you're curious...
How big are Donald Trump's legal problems? - BBC News
Donald Trump has been criminally indicted four times, and will have a series of trials to attend in 2024 as he runs again for the White House.
Here's a guide to the four cases and what they could mean for the former president and current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.
What are the charges in Georgia 2020 election investigation?
This is the most recent indictment, the one that saw the first ever mugshot of a former US president after Donald Trump turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail on 24 August. The charges for Mr Trump - listed now as inmate no. P01135809 on Fulton County Jail records - were unsealed last month.
Mr Trump and 18 others are named in a 41-count indictment for alleged attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.
The investigation was sparked in part by a leaked phone call in which the former president asked Georgia's top election official to "find 11,780 votes".
Mr Trump was hit with 13 criminal counts including an alleged violation of Georgia's Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (Rico).
His other charges include solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, conspiring to commit impersonating a public officer, conspiring to commit forgery, conspiring to commit false statements, and writing and conspiring to file false documents.
What are the potential penalties?
The racketeering charge, which is mostly used in organised crime cases, carries a maximum 20-year jail sentence.
Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis would need to prove that there was a pattern of corruption from Mr Trump and his allies aimed at overturning the election result in order to bring a conviction.
As for making false statements, that carries a penalty of between one to five years in prison or a fine.
And a person convicted of first-degree criminal solicitation to commit election fraud will face between one to three years in jail.
What will his defence be?
Mr Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in the case and has entered a plea of not guilty.
He has defended the phone call in question as "perfect" and accused Ms Willis of launching a politically motivated inquiry.
There is no confirmed date for the trial yet.
What are the charges in 2020 election investigation?
Donald Trump has been criminally charged in a separate federal investigation into efforts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election.
The 45-page indictment contains four counts: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
They stem from the former president's actions in the wake of the 2020 election, including around the 6 January Capitol riot, which occurred while Congress was meeting to certify Joe Biden's victory.
Media caption,
Watch the moment Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol building.
What are the potential penalties?
Penalties for these charges include:
• Conspiracy to defraud the US is punishable by a fine or up to five years in prison
• Obstructing an official proceeding is punishable by a fine or up to 20 years in prison
• Conspiracy against rights is punishable by a fine or not more than 10 years in prison, or both
But there are logistical, security and political questions around whether Mr Trump would serve time even if charged and convicted.
What will his defence be?
Mr Trump was formally charged in court in Washington DC on 3 August. A tentative trial date is scheduled for 4 March 2024.
He argues that the charges are an attempt to prevent him from winning the 2024 presidential election. Before leaving Washington after his arraignment hearing, he told journalists the case "is a persecution of a political opponent".
Mr Trump has repeatedly denied responsibility for the riot on 6 January 2021.
His legal team is also likely to argue that the former president is not directly responsible for the violence that unfolded that day because he told supporters to march "peacefully" on the Capitol and is protected by First Amendment free speech rights.
What are the charges in classified documents case?
Mr Trump is facing 40 criminal charges over his alleged mishandling of classified material after he left the White House.
Thousands of documents were seized in an FBI search at his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago last year, including about 100 that were marked as classified.
The charges are related to both his handling of the documents and his alleged efforts to obstruct the FBI's attempts to retrieve them.
The majority of the counts, are for the wilful retention of national defence information, which falls under the Espionage Act.
There are then eight individual counts which include conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record and making false statements.
Will Donald Trump go to jail?
These charges could - in theory - lead to substantial prison time if Mr Trump is convicted.
But the logistics, security and politics of jailing a former president mean a conventional prison sentence is seen as unlikely by many experts.
Looking at the letter of the law, the counts under the Espionage Act, for example, each carry a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Other counts, related to conspiracy and withholding or concealing documents, each carry maximum sentences of 20 years.
Counts relating to a scheme to conceal, and false statements and representations carry sentences of five years each.
But while there is no doubt the charges are serious, many questions remain unanswered about the potential penalties should he be convicted.
What will his defence be?
Mr Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and the trial is set to begin on 20 May 2024.
The former president has offered shifting defences for the material found at his property, mostly arguing that he declassified it. No evidence has been provided that this was possible or is true.
His lawyers may argue in court that Mr Trump was unfairly targeted and that other politicians, namely Hillary Clinton, Mike Pence and current President Joe Biden, were never charged for their handling of classified documents.
But experts say the former president's case is different in a number of ways. For one, other politicians were willing to return whatever documents they had, while prosecutors allege Mr Trump resisted.
What are the charges in New York hush money case?
Mr Trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
The charges stem from a hush-money payment made before the 2016 election to the adult film star Stormy Daniels, who says she had an adulterous affair with Mr Trump.
While such a payment is not illegal, spending money to help a presidential campaign but not disclosing it violates federal campaign finance law.
What are the potential penalties?
Each of the charges carries a maximum of four years in prison, although a judge could sentence Mr Trump to probation if he is convicted.
Legal experts have told BBC News they think it is unlikely Mr Trump will be jailed if convicted in this case and a fine is the more likely outcome.
What will his defence be?
Mr Trump has pleaded not guilty and is due to stand trial in the case on 25 March 2024.
He denies ever having sexual relations with Ms Daniels and says the payment was made to protect his family from false allegations, not to sway the election.

More coffin nails...
Trump has created a Republican Party that struggles mightily when he's not on the ballot.
At the same time, the former president's unpopularity can make him radioactive to once-loyal GOP voters.
It's unclear how the Republican Party will chart its future out of this current trap.
The Republican Party is in disarray.
Former President Donald Trump has created a solution where he alone can fix it. The catch-22 is that Trump is also the problem. And when it comes to his advantages, he can't be on the ballot forever.
For now, the GOP looks increasingly like a regional party that struggles to do the bare minimum of governing while pushing policies that make voters recoil.

Mr. VanGennip,
"...6 candidates that are far more qualified..."
Right... Coming from the guy who claims Trump was and still is qualified. Strange.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Nov 10, 2023, at 5:25 PM
"...6 candidates that are far more qualified..."
I said more qualified than what we have now Leftau if you can read and I stand by what I said.
When I said what I said about Trump as a leader I believe that you will find if you read it again, I am comparing to what we have. Biden may well go down as the worst President we have ever had.
If you had ever run a business or watched how others were run, you might have some understanding regarding what I have said. Being a Saint and management are two different things. There is a host of things we were better off with under the Trump administration than we are with Biden. Inflation is terrible and the prices of things are out of hands. Yes groceries are totally unreasonable. $272.65 is what I spent this afternoon at our local Supermarket and those groceries will probably last until next Friday and that is for 2 people plus one meal a day for a Caregover who works 8 hours a day to help me with an ill wife. Yes Leftau I am an employer again for 3 part time ladies along with a State Number and Insurance and if I had not listened to a wise older person over 60 years ago, I would find myself in a world of deep stuff. I have Passive income because I am no longer able to do what I was trained for or the lesser physically demanding job of management as I am needed at home. Fortunately, I am not as know it all as some on here and would listen to guidance by my elders when I was younger and planned my life accordingly. I owe only my monthly bills as I planned it. My next vehicle will be purchased with one payment due because I make payments to myself as I drive for the next one. Started that practice over 30 years ago. Saw what I was paying in interest and when it was paid for I kept driving it continuing the payments to myself until I had enough to leave the dealership payment free when I picked up the next one.
I have always been happy to listen to people with more knowledge on a subject than I have. I belonged to various trade associations and I went to annual conferences where they would have motivational speakers. I will never forget the Title one speaker used for his talk. It was "You Pack Your Own Chute". Chute being short for parachute. And the more you think about it the truer his words are. You start managing your life early on and win, lose or draw it is your responsibility and no other. I knew a man who's Father died when he was just out of 6th grade and he had to quit school to help his Mother raise his younger siblings. That man who I have the utmost respect for became a Multi-Millionaire and was fair and honest as the day is long. He cheated no one. And until his death he helped his younger siblings. For whatever reason he had no children of his own. He was living proof there is more than one way to educate yourself. And I assure you his bankers used the title Sir when they spoke to him.
Sorry for the long dissertation, when I get on my soapbox I will be the first to admit I don't know when to shut up.
I think What iwas trying to say was I listened and looked at those 6 persons I was talking about compared to Joe Biden and as I said, I would rather see any one of them as a President for the next term. I have mu favorite, but will vote for either if Biden is the candidate for the Democrats.

Seems your only or primary example of Trump's "leadership" is inflation.
"Post Trump" inflation was a worldwide crisis caused by covid-19 recovery, OPEC-R oil prices, massive supply chain disruptions and rapidly increasing demand.
In comparing the nation under Trump and Biden you're actually considering pre-pandemic and post-pandemic.

You mean the Vaccines that Trump's Administration developed!
More Americans die from Covid in Biden's year 2021 = 455,000 than Trump's year of 2020 = 351,754
But hey Lettau facts are facts!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Sun, Nov 12, 2023, at 8:06 AM
Since you appreciate facts...
Recall that at least 85% of 2021 Covid-19 deaths were unvaccinated Americans. President Biden offered shots to all Americans meaning that only about 68,000 of the 2021 deaths are "attributable" to President Biden.
Facts are facts.

What else is new...
"Donald Trump’s social network company warns potential investors of risk of him being imprisoned"
"The likelihood of Trump going to jail has long ceased to be a wild hypothesis. He has been charged in four separate cases in which he is accused of 91 crimes, all of which carry potential prison sentences. For the company’s purposes, the risk is that Trump will stop posting on Truth Social, resulting in a loss of audience, and that its already heavy losses will skyrocket."

Per your post, Mr. Schaefer:
"...than Trump's year of 2020 = 351,754..."
But hey Lettau facts are facts!
Correct, and here are samples of Trump's failed leadership qualities'''
These are quotes from the 2 months that the President dithered, delayed, denied and deferred. In my opinion this is why we have about 25% of the cases and deaths with only 4.6% of the population.
Trump’s Responses to the Coronavirus Outbreak
Jan 22 “We pretty much have it under control. It’s one person coming in from China.”
Also “We have it totally under control.”
Feb 2 “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China. It’s going to be fine.”
Feb 24 “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock market starting to look very good to me!”
Feb 25 “CDC and my administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
Feb 25 “I think that’s a problem that’s going to go away. They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re close to a vaccine.”
Feb 26 “The fifteen cases within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
Feb 26 “We’re going very substantially down, not up.”
Feb 27 “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
Feb 28 “We’re ordering a lot of supplies, We’re ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn’t be ordering unless it was something like this. But we’re ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
Mar 2 “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don’t think that could have an impact, or much of an impact on Corona?”
Mar 2 “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.
Mar 4 “If we have thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work – some of them go to work, but they get better.”
Mar 5 “I NEVER said that people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
Mar 6 “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
Mar 6 “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. And the tests are beautiful. They are perfect, just like the letter was perfect. The transcript was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that, but pretty good.
Mar 6 “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Everyone of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for President?”
Mar 6 “I don’t need to have the numbers double b/c of 1 ship that wasn’t our fault.”
Mar 8 “We have a perfectly coordinated, and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on Coronavirus.
Mar 9 “The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power to inflame the Coronavirus situation.”
Mar 10 “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.
Mar 23 “I’ve felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic”
"I've always viewed it as very serious.”

And you give Trump no credit for getting government out of the way so that the vaccine could be quickly brought to market by the drug companies. And of course Biden gets as credit for it's distribution with Leftau, not to mention the distribution was just in it's infancy when Biden came into office. Distribution could hardly begin before the vaccine had been developed tested and approved.
We know it was Hillary Clinton's turn to play President and Trump messed that all up for here. But get over it. What do you suppossed would have happened if the Covid Pandemic had happened a couple of years later on Dead Man Walking's term?
Trump had his shortcomings, but you cannot deny he was instrumental in the vaccine's development by getting government out of the way. Biden did little to nothing except try to take credit for another's work.
I presume it would have been better if Trump had panicked and said we're doomed, we are all going to die.
And the pandemic may be over, but the disease does still exist.

I was personally in Yugoslavia more than 20 years ago and their inflation rate exceeded 1000% we were told. Don't change American money to theirs for more than today's needs, you will get more tomorrow. Our inflation was racing along in single digits.

The world does not "control our destiny" in any way. Neither are we immune to worldwide phenomenon.
For example...
Inflation as measured by the consumer price index reflects the annual percentage change in the cost to the average consumer of acquiring a basket of goods and services that may be fixed or changed at specified intervals, such as yearly. The Laspeyres formula is generally used.
World inflation rate 2022 - 8.27%, 4.8% increase from 2021.
World inflation rate 2021 - 3.48%, 1.55% increase from 2020.
World inflation rate - 2020 1.93%, 0.28% decline from 2019.
World inflation rate - 2019 2.21%, 0.23% decline from 2018.
Is it possible that you're unaware that this type of inflation causes increased oil prices and interest rates.
The annual inflation rate for the United States was 3.2% for the 12 months ended October.
You're welcome for the information.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Nov 22, 2023, at 8:47 PM
Lettau, where do you live or do you know! The world's Inflation rate does not mean squat to me! December 2020 the USA Inflation Rate was 1.4% and Biden on Day One made War on the USA Energy Industries causing the start of his Inflation in February 2021 which continues to the month of October and into November 2023! Don't forget Biden's High Interest Rates for the last 16 months. BTW, over 6 million New Illegal Dependents since 1/21/21 that the American Taxpayers will be strapped with for years to come at multiple Billions of Dollars per year!! Sorry Lettau but Facts are Facts!!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Wed, Nov 22, 2023, at 9:28 PM
Leftau try this little article and check the chart showing rates by months and over time.
You're welcome Leftau and one more thing, I do the grocery shopping due to an ill wife and it is very hard to buy into these rates. I ran by the grocery to pickup a couple of items and left with a $73 bill. My last weeks bill was over $200. With the $73 bill I was behind a lady who broke the $300 barrier. Figures may not lie but liars do figure.
I buy a banana split at the Oberweis Ice Cream shop some 1/2 mile from me and it is a bit over $10.00.
Essentially our money is devalued. We have spent and borrowed, spent and borrowed, like a drunken sailer.

Mr. VanGennip,
When I said “funny” it did not mean ‘humorous” it meant strange and perplexing. I don’t believe Trump's Thanksgiving "message" fits anybody’s “brand of politics.”
Read it again for yourself…
“Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia “Peekaboo” James, who has let Murder & Violent Crime FLOURISH, & Businesses FLEE; the Radical Left Trump Hating Judge, a “Psycho,” Arthur Engoron, who Criminally Defrauded the State of New York, & ME, by purposely Valuing my Assets at a “tiny” Fraction of what they are really worth in order to convict me of Fraud before even a Trial, or seeing any PROOF, & used his Politically Biased & Corrupt Campaign Finance Violator, Chief Clerk Alison Greenfield, to sit by his side on the “Bench” & tell him what to do; & Crooked Joe Biden, who has WEAPONIZED his Department of Injustice against his Political Opponent, & allowed our Country to go to HELL; & all of the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS, who are seriously looking to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. Have no fear, however, we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024, & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Do you seriously believe that someone this deranged should even be considered for any position of responsibility, never mind as President of the United States.
Once again your version of “hatred” doesn’t wash, when it's simply a presentation of the truth about the former one-term, twice impeached, four times indicted, convicted sexual abuser, financial fraud and totally disgraced occupant of the oval office. And nothing about that description is false or untrue.
Stating facts about any individual is not "hatred."
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, Nov 24, 2023, at 9:38 AM
"He just can’t help himself..."
That's absurd, Mr. Braswell, unless you were actually referring to Trump and his declamatory, bombastic harangue.
Or were you referring to Mr. Vangennip's impetuous, irascible defense of Trump?

Lefty, Lefty, your two-bit words are easily deciphered. you don't need to try and impress us with your superior knowledge and education compared to us poor hillbillies here in Missourah.
A couple of corrections for you Leftau, I am
1,) Not Angry
2,) Not rushing judgement
3,) Defending Trum
In Fact I am
1.) Laughing at you
2,) Have Figutred you out long ago
3.) Pointing out your Childish repeating over and over of the same old crap.

Leftau out of that oft repeated Litany, you mention one conviction that I do not know the details of but do not excuse. But tell me is it worse than the reports that Joe Biden showered with his daughter. Neither are excusable but at least Trump's could have some kind of understanding. But Biden's is perversion of the first degree in my book.
Then there is the two politically inspired impeachments that went nowhere for lack of a guilty conviction as required by law.
And before you get started there Leftau. The same elements were present in the Impeachment Trial of Bill Clinton. Difference being the Republicans were smart enough to realize doing a repeat would draw the same results.
I am sure you have your little Littany of Trump down so you can copy and paste it because you have used it constantly as anyone with a hatred for another would do.

“…your two-bit words are easily deciphered.”
They’s never been any intention to hide meanings. If using exact language and terms offend you, that seems to be a personal problem that hopefully you’ll eventually be able to work out on your own.
----- ---- --- -- -
“1,) Not Angry, 2,) Not rushing judgement. 3,) Defending Trum…”
Your level of “anger” becomes more than obvious when you start your juvenile name-calling. Your judgement, whether rushed to or not remains questionable. Your defense of Trump has been obvious since 2016. Best recent example is your inability to accept the fact that Trump called his “supporters” to Washington on January 6th and told them to go to the Capital and “fight like hell.”
----- ---- --- -- -
“1.) Laughing at you 2,) Have Figutred you out long ago 3.) Pointing out your Childish repeating over and over of the same old crap.
Your “laughing at you” is as puerile (means the same as fatuous) when you use it as it is when Mr. Schaefer professes he’s “LOL at you as always.” All you’ve ever figured out is that your statements can be made with total disregard for facts or truth. Some individuals have to have reality presented to them repeatedly for them to understand it.

“…is it worse than the reports that Joe Biden showered with his daughter.”
As you said it’s a “report” and you provide no substantiation, as usual. What’s worse? Try listening to the Hollywod access tapes. That’s not a “report,” it’s Trump speaking on the record, how he can do anything to women because “he’s a star.”

“Then there is the two politically inspired impeachments that went nowhere for lack of a guilty conviction as required by law.”
You’re still resisting reality. Both Trump impeachments were prompted by criminal acts that he committed. In both, a bipartisan majority of Senators voted guilty. In the first, republican Senators admitted he was guilty but did not consider his crimes to be serious enough for removal. In the second some Senators also knew he was completely guilty but claimed they did not have to vote for removal because he’d already lost the election.

It's both astounding and dumbfounding to consider how little of today’s political division would exist had 3 more Senators voted guilty.

And before you start in on where I get my information. I do not do a single one of those gab lines. I have never done Face Book or Twitter when it existed as such or anything else.
I do use the internet and am selective about where the information comes from. And I have never used Truth Social and I do not intend to start.

“…that I have nothing but repulusion for the biased BS you post consistently.”
That’s only your “biased” opinion. Actually, the definition of “biased” includes, “tending to show favor towards or against one group of people or one opinion for personal reasons; making unfair judgements.”
That’s where you go off track again. My objections to Trump are not for personal reasons, nor are my judgements unfair.
Trump’s attitudes, actions and speech are highly detrimental to all of America. In addition to his failures, the worst of which was his mismanagement and bungling of the Covid-19 pandemic, his “tantrums” following his clear and obvious loss in the 2020 election were the principal factor in today’s political divisions.
There’s nothing personal there. Also, my posts did not contain “unfair judgements.” Virtually every one, was based on Trump’s own words, his “tweets,” linked articles written about him, or videos depicting his behaviors.
I have not made up any claims about him, I have not fabricated any “BS” about him, have never called him childish names, and my posts have been based on factual information and truthful observations.
I have offered ample opportunities for anyone to identify what I posted was factually inaccurate, no takers. This is why your “repulsion” to non-existent “biased BS” is meaningless.
----- ---- --- -- -
Where “…repulusion for the biased BS…” is well deserved, is when you refer to the President, without substantiation, as “brain dead,” or asserting without evidence that President Biden has taken bribes, or suggesting that our President has “made” the world’s problems, or name-calling as in “dead man walking aka Joe Biden,” or falsely saying he is a “puppet” with “handlers.”
It's your posts about President Biden that can be described as “repulsive, biased BS.

" is when you refer to the President, without substantiation, as “brain dead,” or asserting without evidence that President Biden has taken bribes,"
Let's start with just these claims.
Ok, on the brain dead, I think you should know that I consider it for his lack of thinking and comprehension. No it is not dead from the standpoint that he would no longer be alive, obviously.
But any man than cannot determine who is who between his sister and his wife, has a definite problem in comprehension and there definitely was a campaign issue a few years back where he had that problem and just watch him in public appearances, it is embarrassing knowing he is in charge of the nuclear codes.
So far as his bribe taking, that is not my assessment that is what others have been reporting. And yes I showed the articles. Large amounts of money, millions, are coming from somewhere, the bank reports that Congress has possession of reportedly show it, and not all of it is coming from friendly nations. What is your assessment of what that money is for Leftau? Those people just like him, correct?
To go from a net worth of less than $140,000.00 to over $9,000,000.00 on a Vice President's salary does not compute Leftau, I don't care who you are. I am a fan of Harry Truman's assessment of politicians and wealth. A man having never held a real job becomes a multi millionaire in politics? It does not compute. I say follow the money trail, it will eventually expose what happened.
And then there is that about him having handlers. Leftau, you basically said something to that effect after cricism of his mental status was made on him being elected President. You brought up that there was comptent people to help him. I would call that handlers, you call it what you want. It is general knowledge and has been published that Hillary Clinton's Presidency was to be Obama's Third Term, because he was supposedly going to control it.
But then Hillary did not win and the Democrats, and you included have been p****d off at Trump every since. How dare he and that is my opinion Leftau. Like it or not, I could care less.
I will quote you best I can remember on Trumo being announced the winner over Hillary Clinton

Ok Leftau, let's work on your education a little more. You obviously need some help.

Next you say only his warped opinions, nothing of substance.
On the one habd You say what I said was fabrications. And in the next sentence you say they are my warped opinions.
Make up your mind Lefty they are one or the other. Now I will help you as you desperately need it College Boy.
I am accompanying this with my post that seemed to upset you so badly. In the fourth sentence from the end you will find that I stated those were my opinions which do have basis in facts, nevertheless I stated they are my opinions.
But since you seem to need a lot of help Leftau, I will just copy it for you here.......
"How dare he and that is my opinion Leftau. Like it or not, I could care less."
So there it is for you Leftau. I told you what I thought, I told you it was my opinion. What more can I do to help you. I do not have access to Biden's bank records but the House I believe, does and they have posted it.
Now one more thing for you Leftau.....
It is my opinion based on a Democrat, Mr. Truman, that Biden is a crook and I think ot will eventually be proven as such.
Like it or lump it, there it is. Go for it and try to use your new words I taught you.

There we have it "party", which puts the well being of the country secondary.
My answer would be no not the best possible candidate the Republicans have to offer, but head and shoulders above Hillary Clinton and/or Joe Biden. I look at the good of our country first and party second.
Tour self indictment in your statement shows where your loyalty laws, party first, nation second.
In 2016 the Republicans had 14 candidates going for the nomination. Out of those 14, I would have placed all of them over Hillary Clinton as being better for our country.
Trump's problem.was his mouth, but he was best suited for the job in 2016 and 2020.
The Presidential election is about the good of country not party.

I believe you meant accused. Where does determined fit in the law library.
Presumably you were referring to the suggestion that he over inflated assets to obtain a loan.
If every American who has done that were to be locked up. We wouldn't be able to run this country.
I personally know of a man who purchased a service truck from the salvage yard. It went on the books at blue book value.
That man was well respected by his peers, hever cheated anyone, paid every debt he incurred and went to his grave owing no one, leaving his family financially secure.

Half Truths are what you are good at Leftau and they are actually a lie.
Leftau I do no have the obsession with Trump you do. I am still thanking him for keeping Hillary Clinton out of the Oval Office.
And the Democrats are still smarting over the same scenario. They still cannot accept the fact that he kept Hillary from realizing her childhood dream of being the President and just ****, it was her turn,
Is Trump guilty of, accused of, or just plain "Determined" as overvaluing or claiming assets he never had? Who did it cost and how much did it cost?
The World of Finance works in mysterious ways sometimes Leftau.
Last building project I was involved in I was overrun by a Highway Project. The property I owned was appraised and they paid the amount. I had to rebuild on a commerical lot I already owned. Plans are drawn and a contractor was selected. He wanted to know if I ran out of cash before it was completed could I get a letter of credit to finance the balance. I called my banker who I have now used for 60 years and ask about a letter of credit. The letter came back and it simply said, if he runs out of money we will give him some more, and it was signed by the Bank President. They knew what I would be putting in, it was resting in their bank. No valuations, they knew what the building cost would be they had a copy of the contract I had signed. And I had a loan available with then for years that was there as needed, should Payables needed attention and Receivables not yet been realized.
To me valuing your property should be easy, the County Assessor does if for you every year. If it was what I thought reasonable, I let it ride. If I thought it was overpriced I challenged it, and most often won.

Another VanGennip fabrication.
Not a "half truth" by any means. He was impeached two times for specific crimes and found guilty by a bipartisan majority on both impeachments. That the number of guilty verdicts for removal does not reached, does not make him innocent, just lets him continue serving as an impeached president.
What was 100% political was the republican senate votes.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Mon, Nov 27, 2023, at 1:33 PM
"That the number of guilty verdicts for removal does not reached, does not make him innocent, just lets him continue serving as an impeached president."
Leftau you are proving your ignorance of the law.
In this country you are innocent until proven guilty and you are only proven guilty when you meet the standards set by our Constitution and Laws
The Democrats went after Trump politically from Day One. Broom Hillda was supposed to be the President and Trump beat her out of it. And he has not been forgiven to this day. That I believe.
And Leftau I am surprised at you. You call what they accused Trump of crimes when they were alleged crimes and never proven otherwise.
You show how two faced you are when you stand there and call what Trump was accused of as a crime, yet when they bring up Biden's money laundering scheme of millions of dollars of foreign money, it is simply and alleged crime, even with bank documents. I understand Biden is considered innocent until he has his day in court that I think will come.
Once again, I agree whole heartedly with Harry Truman. And Biden fits the mold perfectly. Came to the table with nothing, never had a real job and became rich in politics. But he fits right in there with Clinton, and Obama.
Something I have heard many times in my life when describing another who was obviously a nothing. Never had a pot to *is* in or a window to throw it out of.
And not saying this is where that came from but I learned where it might have come from on a trip to Paris many years ago. We toured a Castle and had it explained. Those castles never had bathrooms and flush toilets for all of their finery. They had chamber pots and they litterally flippd it out the window. You couldn't expect Me Lady to carry it downstairs to dispose of it could you?
And those pictures of the ladies walking around with their Parasols...... they had to be protected from what might come raining down on them. At least that was the way the guide explained it to our little group.
So as I see it Clinton, Obama and Biden all came from Royalty, they never had a pot to *iss* in nor a window to throw it out of. They gained theirs through politics. Thank you Mr. Harry Truman for explaining it to us.

Leftau let's put this in perspective.
A few years back Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. Not enough votes were cast to remove him from office. Was he guilty or was he innocent. I believe it was the Democrats who rescued his ***.
You obviously read the Impeachment process to accomplish your goal.
From a practical standpoint, impeachment has been proven to be a poor tool. It has been tried 4 times in our history and it has failed to accomplish anything in either case.
I believe Biden should be impeached but it is not going to happen. The Democrats would prevent it from happening in the Senate.
And you state so blithely that Trump has been impeached twice. From my viewpoint an impeachment removes a President from office. The House of Representatives cannot impeach and remove a President from office. It takes both the House and the Senate to do it.
That has never happened and chances are slim to none that it ever will.
And Leftau it was Political on both sides and if you had an honest bone in your body you could see that. As I said before, they went after Trump from the beginning. Blamed Russian inteference in the election which was BS. It all came from a phoney report Broom Hilda paid for. And when that didn't oan out they went after impeachment. Do you even know what professed crime he was supposed to have committed?
I doubt it as your interest appears to have been a get Trump from the day he was announced as the winner over Broom HIlda.

"Why would you doubt the truth. It came from an anonymous source on the internet so a link is irrelevant."
Leftau, I just saw this in your reponse to Rick S.
An anonymous source on the internet so a link is irrelevant. Now that is funny. You just got caught in your own BS Leftau.
And why would we doubt it. Leftau you are denser than a box of rocks if you believe anonymous sources. If it had any validity the person who would report it wouldn't be afraid to say it with their name attached.
Gullibility run in your family?
The way I read this is you posted it because you wanted to believe it so you publish it as fact.
Kind of goes along with your list of charges on Trump.
You want to believe them but cannot really prove them.
Let me ask you a question Leftau. Can you in one minute reply back with the charges that were used for Trump's impeachment? Without looking it up.

Anybody besides me believe that in most cases those illegals crossing the border are not really seeking asylum but have possibly been coached to use that excuse for their showing up here. There certainly should be some proof given that they are really seeking asylum instead of a free ride on the American Tax Payer. Catch and Release is what it smells like to me. I think wait in Mexico is perfectly legitimate that they can prove a valid claim to asylum.
Bided totally blew it on that little EO.

Then there is that BS he posted, then couldn't come up with a link and finally dreams up that it was from some anonymous writer on the internet.
I am going to keep pressing for links on his BS postings, because I am going to assume he makes them up if he cannot come up with a valid link.

It continues to amaze most of us, that some on SO are so blissfully unaware of what happens in their own country.
For example, do Americans really need 40,000 hours of video to confirm what happened on January 6th?
Of course not.

Yep,that “Pelosi select committee” only showed what Mr Lettau wanted to see. Easy to fool that short bus crowd.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Mon, Nov 27, 2023, at 5:51 PM
Yeah and the Dims are witching and moaning about the rest of the storey being told. I remember seeing some of the earliest pictures that came out. Lots of people just milling around. Then suddenly that stopped and all you got to see was what the Democrats wanted you to see. Violence and the likes.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Mon, Nov 27, 2023, at 6:03 PM
"Yep,that “Pelosi select committee” only showed what Mr Lettau wanted to see."
Trump started "inciting the rioters" at Noon on January 6, 2021.
"1 p.m. -- An initial wave of protesters storms the outer police barrier around the Capitol."
After 5 hours of illegally entering the Capital grounds, rioting and beating Capital Police men and women...
"Shortly before 6 p.m. -- Almost five hours after the rioting began, police start to clear the Capitol and eventually secure the interior."
Check the link for details of the insurrection and what happened before and after the riot was quelled.
So there were 5 hours of violence virtually all of which was shown live on the 6th. Those same 5 hours were repeatedly shown on video replays, and ended up being presented by the January 6th Committee.
Obviously, there are not 39,995 hours of peaceful "demonstrations," so what the 40,000 hours of video that the Speaker of the House released repeats those 5 violent hours from numerous sources.
There have already been a few video clips circulated showing illegal trespassers standing around inside the Capital, but these are insignificant compared to what actually went on.
Basically, one shot of an insurrectionist clubbing a Capital Police office with a rolled up American flag on a staff, is worth hundreds of hours of the same few people standing around doing nothing except violating the law by being there.
If you're still confused, watch the entire link.

So what is bothering the Democrats the most about the rest of the story being told.
I saw a few shots the other evening where it showed the police escorting people down the halls of one of the buildings.
And early on before they were all squelched I saw pictures of people just milling around.
Good thing you were there Leftau and could give us a first hand account of what happened.
Oh wait, you weren't there, had me fooled for a minute, you are just reliving the part the Democrats wanted shown and ignoring the part they hid.
The whole thing should never have happened but it did and what we need to know is the truth not some edited biased account. And the Committee investigating the whole issue was a national disgrace the way it was set up in true anti Trump pro Democrat style.

Oh yes I can Leftau, but it is the whole truth I am looking for not politically picked bits and pieces of truth.
I would suggest that those 40,000 I believe it was hours of what was discarded, left out whateve have not yet been viewed by you Leftau.
And try to make it what you want. I can assure you that you are not going to find where I excused, approved, whatever the whole mess.
And Leftau I don't believe I said standing around, I said milling around.
However many people were there, I do not know, but they believed in something to get them to show up in the first place. I think a general belief was that they got screwed at the polls.
So far as you go Leftau, I believe it has been stated that you were not there. So you are no authority on the situation, All you have is he said, she said and 2nd hand partial details. If called as a witness what do you have to add. If you don't know let me tell you. Nothing!

Math wasn't your strong point was it Leftau? I would suggest there was more than one camera going. And there were people people not creating violence. That is what people like you do not want shown. Must be something in there the Democrats don't want shown. Personally do not know who or what started it as I never knew it was going to happen. Politics is not the only thing in my life. Been fighting an illness in this family for just short of 6 years besides managing my personal retirement plan so that I am not just another ward of the government.

"Posting on here and correcting your BS is my recreation."
As usual, your postings demonstrate that you're incapable of correcting anything. I'd suggest your "recreation" is vainly trying to defend Trump.
Your real specialty remains presenting vague, confused generalities. For example...
"If called as a witness what do you have to add?" I'd be able to add exactly what was shown on video broadcast live on the 6th of January. Video evidence is legal in court.
Try presenting specific examples what you consider "BS" that you don't seem to understand.

1.) "Posting on here and correcting your BS is my recreation."
Response: Well congratulations Leftau you got the quotes correct for a change.
2.) As usual, your postings demonstrate that you're incapable of correcting anything. I'd suggest your "recreation" is vainly trying to defend Trump.
Response: I would suggest that you make a poor assessment of the situation. Correcting your errors is not defending anyone. So far as Trump I made my statement on Biden and Trump and 2024 and gave my reasons. You missed it, your loss.
3.) Your real specialty remains presenting vague, confused generalities. For example...
"If called as a witness what do you have to add?" I'd be able to add exactly what was shown on video broadcast live on the 6th of January. Video evidence is legal in court.
Response: Well it is as I thought, you would have nothing to add. They already have 40,000 hours of that. Point being, you were not there, you have nothing to share that is not available to the world.
4.) Try presenting specific examples what you consider "BS" that you don't seem to understand.
Response: I have been pointing that out as I go for the most part. Might have missed a few, but am only doing it once. I will try to be more specific and detailed in the future so even as slow as you are Water Boy, even you can understand it.

Leftau you are trying desperately to prove what your post said originally, some days back. Is this your 2nd, third, or fourth effort. Try reading the last line of the little excerpt from your most recent effort. I separated it from the rest of the article so it was easy for you to find since you seem to need some help.
"Worldwide approval of the US has rebounded under President Biden.
Gallup's annual world poll found that approval of the US shot up 15 percentage points.
*******************
But Biden's honeymoon appears to have ended during the US' chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan."
*******************
Here is what you have never been able to produce a link to.
"Biden just finished his international trip and gave an amazing speech in Helsinki and received respect and admiration from world leaders. Unlike his predecessor, indicted loser who went to Helsinki and kissed Putin's dictator a** in front of the whole world and embarrassed our country."
So I guess that anonymous effort was BS, right Leftau?
So far you get an A for your effort. I believe you made up the wording because your reference to Trump smells of you.
Now why don't you prove me wrong and show an article with the words you posted for us.
Keep digging Leftau, I am enjoying watching you.
And since you are still digging, trying to prove what you said originally, I am marking down the anonymous story attempt as BS or if you would rather, a lie.

Mr. VanGennip, the links provided confirm what I said all along.

Lefty, Lefty, when was Biden's fouled up withdrawal that canceled out the Honeymoon, and that was from your link Water Boy!
I recognized those glorious word for Biden were what you dreamed up, even though you tried to lie your way out of it with that anonymous contributor on the internet bit. I recognize full well that Trump has his moments if you will. But the Russian Collusion business was not of Trump's doing, it was proven a hoax and paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign. And you and the Democrat Congressed pi**ed away a lot of time and treasure trying to prove it. You with your almighty self professed knowledge couldn't even come up with the correct answers for what Trump was charged with in the impeachments. You got a failing grade there.
***************
Acccording to Wikipedia Leftau, with all of your knowledge you said Trump's first Impeachment was for Obstruction of Congress and Bribery and the second was for Insurection.
Now if you would like to challenge that, you may read the paragrahph above from Wikopedia.
And unlike you, I am going to give you a link to prove what I am saying .
May be some reptition in the above but there are some people like Leftau who need a little help.

But you have proven one thng for us. If you do not furnish a valid link it should be considered no more valid than your opinion.

"The House of Representatives adopted two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress."
Were you one tenth as aware of reality as you think you are, you'd already know that Trump's "abuse of power" was trying to make Selenskyy provide "dirt" on Biden by threatening to withhold financial military aid (and he did exactly that because Selenskyy had nothing on Biden.)

Leftau, don't make me laugh. The last thing I need is a Leftist Liberal telling me what a Conservative is. One thing I believe in is a handup while letting a person have the satisfaction of doing it for him/herself. I do not believe in handouts to those who refuse to get up off their dead *** and do it for themselves with the satisfaction and pride in themselves it brings.
I believe the truly most great men and women in history had Conservative values. They never depended on others to do it for them. I never received a government check until I reached Social Secrity payments direct to my account, but I paid in on it for 50 years starting with cutting grass for the local church at 15 years old. And I created my own retirement program as I went throgh years of operating my own business which my wife and I built from scratch. I learned my values from great though poor parents. God rest their souls. And I made sure that when I retired at 62 and got out of my kids way so they could continue on their own, that my obligations were my monthly utility, household and day to day bills. No loans to worry about. I skipped college with a scholarship in hand and it was the best thing I never did. I had already picked one out of the herd and we married young and have 66 years of that under our belts.
I have managed my resouces so that periodic maintenance is all they need and my CPA daughter is there for that.
So you and Liz Cheney take your ideas of what a Conservative is and stick them where the sun doesn't shine.
I do not need a Liz Cheney to tell me what a Conservative is Leftou, or you either for that matter. I may not be able to state fluently in print just what a Conservative is, but I live it and I know it.
I have lived a Conservative Life and as Frank Sinatra a favorite of mine would say, and I did it my way.

Now here is what a top Democrat who left the Corrupt Democratic Party in Oct. 11, 2022 has to say:
Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who ran for president as a Democrat in 2020, announced Tuesday that she is leaving the party, accusing them of being an “elitist cabal of war mongers” — and urged others to do the same. (per google search)

You claim to be a staunch conservative, but praise Trump who's nowhere near as conservative as most democrats.
So does telling the truth about Trump disqualifies one from being a true conservative?
That's a yes / no question that even you should be able to answer. But you probable can't bring yourself to do so.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Nov 30, 2023, at 9:25 AM
Funny Leftau. Whatever then you lie and claim I am praising Trump. I evaluate and state that he was a better administrator than Biden. That's not praise, that's simply a fact.
Leftau, not sure what you are talking about as a true Conservative, but if you are speaking of Liz Cheney I have not studied her. One like her and where she is has little effect on me.
Having someone as far left as you appear from here makes me question what she is.
So far as your yes or no, I am not in the witness chair, you are no Judge and I will answer as I well please.

And Leftau we don't need our little litany on Asylumn seekers. There could be a handful of them actually seeking asylum, But a couple of million. Those are designed to be future Dim voters is my opinion. All at a cost to the true ciiizens of this country.

Here again if a Country is Oil Independent such as the USA was in 2019 and 2020, then the USA has no concerns of what the other producers do! Supply and demand for the Independent Oil producer doesn't matter at the least, the USA would just make adjustments!
The Global market doesn't have an effect on anything Independent for example: if a country has a surplus of Gold and the Gold producing countries cuts production, that gold Independent country will just say go ahead!

Mr. VanGennip should recognize this Trump tactic: falsely accuse the other side of exactly what you're doing.
“The orange liar': Internet slams Donald Trump as he calls President Joe Biden 'real threat' to democracy
“NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Donald Trump sparked outrage recently after he called President Joe Biden a "real threat" to democracy during a speech hosted by the New York Young Republican Club on Saturday, December 10, 2023.
"Addressing the crowd, the former president characterized warnings that his victory in 2024 would represent a threat to democracy as a "hoax" and "Democrat misinformation".
"The radical left Democrats, their fake news allies have unveiled their newest hoax that Donald J. And the Republican Party are a threat to democracy … This is their new line. Here we go again - 'Russia, Russia, Russia,' 'Mueller, Mueller, Mueller,' 'Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.' One hoax after another," the real estate mogul said.

Leftau, I already made my statement so far as 2024 goes. If you are so dense you cannot understand t there is little I can do to help you.
If I could draw you a picture on here I would try but it doesn't appear to be possible.
All I can tell you is that I paid less for a lot mnore before Biden came along and please, don't give us that world inflation BS. This is the United States of America. Borrowing money and ******* it away is our problem, not a world problem. Reminds me of the Jimmy Carter years.
When it was used as currency a $20 gold piece was 1 ounce of gold and that was the value of 1 ounce of gold. As I type the buying price for 1 ounce of gold is $1982.10. FDR said turn in your gold we are giving you paper for it. And turning it in was not just a suggestion.
Tell you anything about the value of our paper dollar? And no the world didn't put us in this kind of shape. We did it to ourselves by printing dollars backed by nothing but the word of the government. And we all know what the word of a lying politician is worth.

"They're poisoning the blood of our country," Trump told a rally in the city of Durham attended by several thousand supporters, adding that immigrants were coming to the U.S. from Asia and Africa in addition to South America. "All over the world they are pouring into our country."
If Trump deported everyone with "immigrant blood" there would be no one left. The "Aryans" would have to go too. Even "indigenous peoples" immigrated across what's now the Bering Straits.
Immigration is what has always vitalized the blood of Americans.

Donald Trump is an active candidate for the 2024 Presidential Election . Why would dis-agreeing with his actions or not joining his campaign platform automatically equate to hate. If this were the case then over 50% of Americans hate Donald Trump and they all aren't Democrats , a lot are Republicans and Independents .
Biden is an active candidate for the 2024 Presidential , Americans can plainly see the disasterous and recklous actions of Biden's work , it's so obvious . Less then 50% of Americans dis-agreeing with his actions or not joining his campaign platform either and they aren't all Republicans , a lot are Democrats and Independents too .
My point being , posting disagreements and scrutinizing Trump , his actions , or his Administration isn't hate . No more then the constant scrutiny of Biden's disasterous and reckless actions as President are hate .
And then there's always that Free opinion and Speech thing too , guilty as charged here , I disagree with both 2024 Candidates and am gonna say so , let the chips fall where they may -- even if a poster tries to ban me . (I thought we had got rid of Melange long ago).

No tears, plenty of salt. Printing facts about Trump has never been a “crying” matter, except maybe by those cult member’s upset at seeing him playing the role of a vanquished “wannabe” dictator.

What no one has witnessed Mr. VanGennip, is someone as obsessed with hatred as you are toward anyone telling the truth about Trump.
As I’ve pointed out over and over again, printing facts, quotes and articles (about him and by Trump himself) is not an expression of hatred, it’s called honesty.
Lately, SO conservatives have seemingly demonstrated an astounding lack of either candor or truthfulness, but guess that’s just them.

“…the DNC banning debates and suing to keep trump off ballots in several states.”
In any case, I don’t believe it’s the DNC, it’s citizens groups or state organizations, but nevertheless, any law suit concerns compliance with the Constitution of the United States.
It clearly contains specific criteria on who is and who is not eligible to be President of the US. Someone who is not a natural born citizen or is younger than 35 years of age does not meet the qualifications.
Neither do individuals who have “…engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
It's hard to conceive of one person in the US that's not aware of the fact that Trump called his "supporters" to Washington and sent them to the Capital to intentionally disrupt the counting of EC votes that certified Biden's fair and honest election.

"Donald Trump is an active candidate for the 2024 Presidential Election . Why would dis-agreeing with his actions or not joining his campaign platform automatically equate to hate."
Rick, the hate is and has been expressed by Leftau and has since the infamouse "Now that he has raised himself to a pedestal" post he made upon Trump being announced the winner in 2016
The Trump rhetoric he carries on to today shows where he is coming from.
There are a lot of things I am not fond of with Trump, but he did a much better job for America than the current clown has. We did not have the wide open Southern Border where people are crossing from all over the world with the weak excuse, they are seeking asylum. What they are really seeking is the taxes paid by Americans and which Biden is handing out and borrowing to hand out like candy.
I have stated twice before and will say it again. I do not desire to see either of the current front runners on the ticket for reason.
This country needs to simmer down, come together and work for Americans. We do not need 4 more years of incompetence nor do we need 4 more years of constant bickering.
America owes Biden nothing for what he has done to this country.
America does not need 4 more years of the bickering Trump's kicking Hillary Clinton's hind end at the polls caused because she thought it was her turn. And yes Leftau, I know Hillary got more of the popular vote and who cares we should all know by now how a President is elected. Get over it!

2.) As I’ve pointed out over and over again, printing facts, quotes and articles (about him and by Trump himself) is not an expression of hatred, it’s called honesty.
Response: Yes Leftau, we know about your over and over again vile hate filled posts regarding Trump.
Ever try posting something once and shut up about it. You would be taken more seriously.
3.) Lately, SO conservatives have seemingly demonstrated an astounding lack of either candor or truthfulness, but guess that’s just them.
Response: There goes the SO Conservatives BS again. Leftau, I and I expect most others you refer to, have been Conservative most of our lives and I need no Left Wing, Socialistic, Communistic Leaning, Democrat Pimp to tell me what I should or should not be.
I expect nothing from my government except that they do those things set out in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. In the 66 years since I put aside the things of youth and married, I have supported my family and tried to make a good life for them. I have not drawn one day of government backed unemployment pay, drawn one Welfare Check, or received government subsidies. I have paid my taxes and still today create income and pay taxes on it. I have had the good fortune to see a good part of the world over my lifetime with none of it paid for by the government. As a matter of fact taxed income paid for it.
So I need no advice from a Leftist Socialistic Democrat Pimp. I was given advice from a number of wiser older, independent of government, men in my youth and I have done my best to live by it.
Take that any way you like it.

You simply want to ignore the truth. The 14th Amendment Section 3 is not an issue of innocence or guilt, it's a matter of eligibility.
Are you implying that you don't know that Trump's insurrection is a matter of fact. If so, what do you believe happened on January 6th? That's maybe why the "you can't handle the truth" applies.
Perhaps you recall your one-term, twice impeached, four time indicted, disgraced former president having tried to declare Obama ineligible because on not being a natural born citizen. Trump was not claiming Obana was "guilty" of something, just wrongly trying to convince others that Obama was not eligible per Article II of the US Constitution.

As for the “matter of fact…”
Think for yourself for a change.
Fact: Trump called for his supporters (cult members actually) to rally in Washington DC on January 6, 2021.
Fact: He then directed them to go to the capital, and told them “And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.”
Fact: The Congress was meeting in the Capital at that exact time to certify President Biden’s fair and honest Electoral College victory.
Fact: The ensuing riots and vicious attacks on the Capital property and the Capital Police force delayed Congressional action on the EC vote but did not stop it. (Attempted murder is also a crime.)
Do you still try to claim that “it wasn’t Trump’s fault?”

Why would it bother anyone if Trump's cult grows "stronger" for primary elections?
His popularity with normal Americans is falling and will continue to do so.

Then why isn't the USA Oil Independent as it were in 2019/2020 while under Trump?
When is Joey going to replace the oil in the Emergency Strategic Oil Reserves....you know the one that Trump filled up while the price was low and now Joey will have to spend extra millions of Taxpayers dollars to fill it up since the price has gone up? You don't have to be in a hurry with a reply!!

Because the oil industry centers on OPEC and the oil companies that work with them to set prices.
The oil industry works for what's best for itself, not what's best for the American consumer.

“Why don’t they”?
Why didn’t they is the question.
Seems a Republican President,Bush II,
Pushed hard for immigration reform but was turned down by democrat and republicans.
Didn’t Obama have both houses and didn’t get anything done? And Trump? Pelosi and her Mafia was too busy impeaching to work on important things. Biden? Just open the floodgates and hope for the best but didn’t prepare for the worst.
No 1 complaint about Biden: Inflation.

I wasn't there, and I don't believe you were either.
To me what happened is a fact, and I don't require a court to convince me.

●Multiple States are trying to keep Trump off of their State Primary's Ballot for actions he has not been found guilty . So the Courts and not the People have voted .
●Joe Biden kept his name off of the New Hampshire's State Primary Ballot but was the only candidate on Florida's State Primary for actions he has not been found guilty . So Joe Biden and not the People have voted .
● Both are crooks

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
Rick S., there's the entire clause. Point is that there's no penalty or punishment specified for a "guilty" determination. It's simple a disqualification for having "engaged in insurrection," and that's exactly what Trump did.
Furthermore it includes giving "aid and comfort to enemies thereof" (as in the United States) which he did by pledging to pardon the insurrectionists including those convicted of seditious conspiracy.

"Rick S., there's the entire clause. Point is that there's no penalty or punishment specified for a "guilty" determination. It's simple a disqualification for having "engaged in insurrection," and that's exactly what Trump did."
🔸
The clause is the Courts voting and deciding instead of the People . Put Trump's name on the Ballot and let the People decide if he is disqualified or not . That democracy thing , or threat of , or whatever .
There are indictments for insurrection , there has been no trial . Being Charged and being Convicted are 2 different things . When it's not allowing a candidate on a State's Primary Ballot using Convicted as the reason and there has only been a Charge , well , Americans are innocent until proven guilty in a court of Law which includes Donald Trump , Joe Biden , you , me , all the other posters , whoever...
In America anybody can be the President , everybody and anybody born here . Not allowing anybody's name , no matter who they are , on any Ballot is not American or the American way .

More multi-post VanGennip ranting….
He continues to be upset about simple factual posts about Trump.
At least he now recognizes that there are “…several things Trump has been accused of…” which is an amazing step forward. Actual there are hundreds of offenses and crimes he has or should have been accused of, but there are about 91 felonies he has been indicted for. That’s another fact that Mr. VanGennip loves to ignore.
If my pointing out the truth about Trump jeopardizes my “honest citizen” standing, then Mr. VanGennip’s parading of conspiracy theories and false accusations about President Biden certainly should undercut his.

What do Yekaterina Duntsova,Dean Phillips and Donald Trump all have in common? All being kept off voter ballots. Duntsova is a Russian opposition candidate being kept off the ballot insuring a Putin win. But,hey,that’s Russia. That couldn’t happen here. Think again. Dean Phillips and two others are being kept off Florida’s primary ballot insuring a Biden win and it’s well known about the nationwide effort to keep voters from having a choice by convicting Trump without a trial.

But say one thing about Biden and the inquiry of his and his Crime Family's bank accounts where millions of foreign money have all the appearances of being laundered through phoney do nothing companies that have been set up. But that is all supposition and one better not mention it or he jumps to Biden's defense all the while hammering on Trump convicting him if or not he has been in front of a jury.

It's a little late about all that democracy and threat and stuff thing...
Some People , no matter how much you do to Trump or the Bidens , it's not enough..and the number of People are growing on both sides . Eventually there are 2 Presidents , one for both sides . Check out the Whig Party , this has all happened before .

Biden had a few documents intermingled with a majority of unclassified documents. When found the classified was immediately protected and turned over to the National Archives.
Trump had boxes of classified of classified documents that he intentionally had transferred to Mar-a-Lago. When it was discovered that documents were missing, Trump's responses (not necessarily in order) were to deny he had them, hide some of them, declared they were his, prevented officials from retrieving them, claimed he was being persecuted, etc.
These are the type of massive differences that Mr. VanGennip prefers to ignore.
A related difference....

New Hampshire GOP Gov. Chris Sununu warns Trump’s ballot removals only boost his ‘victim card’ posture
New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on Sunday warned that former President Donald Trump’s removal from the 2024 primary ballots in Maine and Colorado only serves to aid his “victim card” posture in the presidential race.
“This would only … boost his opportunity to play that victim card down the road as we hit the primaries. It’s not helpful at all, and I just don’t think it’s right,” Sununu told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”
Sununu, who has endorsed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican primary, said Sunday he wants Trump on the ballot in “all 50 states” so that “Nikki Haley can beat him in all 50 states.”

You may not like the answer Water Boy, but I am not a Democrat and my script isn't written for me like yours is.
I am a Conservative and I think for myself. You may not like it but TS.
I am accustomed to those who shoot their mouth off with little substance. Upon starting a business that is just short of 61 years old now I had a competitor call me a Fly By Nighter behind my back. He lived to drive by my building daily which was about 50% bigger than his own. Mine was on the Interstate Service Road, his business was in the back corner of the same Industrial Park. His is non existent nearly 20 years. I moved mine to a larger building, it still exists under the 3rd owner. First two retired.
So shoot your mouth off as it suits you Water Boy. Try to belittle me if you like. But don't expect me to bow to you. I have hired and fired your kind.
You remind me of this situation Leftau. Ever heard, it don't pay to advertise if you ain't got the goods?

“Telling the truth about Trump is not BS. Each time you're asked to identify what you mean by "BS" we get nothing.”

Leftau I believe I responded to your BS question about 10:20 Pm Sunday evening. Might not be to the exact minute.
You show me where I am obligated to respond to you at all, or in the manner you direct.
If you were not such a slow learner Water Boy, you would have learned that I will respond in a manner suitable to me. Don't like it, I don't know what else to tell you.
But I will assure you of this, I am in no way obligated to you and will continue to respond as I see fit.
Don't like it, I don't know what to tell you. But I am not, have not ever been and don't intend to be dependent on you for the way I live my life.
Capeesh???
Now that we have that out of the way.
Why don't you show the rest of us where Trump has been convicted of Insurrection?
You saying it doesn't make it so.
As for me, for the fourth time, while I am for neither Biden or Trump on the Ballot, the American People should have a say in who is on the ballot, in the primaries and via that the General Election.
The Democrat Party appears to want to just appoint someone as it suits them. Example not allowing anyone on the ballot against Biden in Florida for starters. And working to keep Trump off the ballot because the way I figure it, they know given the mistake they made the last time, Trump will win in 2024.
So Windbag there you have it. Don't like it, who gives a rats rear end. But try skewing what I said and I will point it out for you.
Now if you will excuse me, I have some things of more importance to take care of.

Voter data expert hired by Trump campaign says 2020 election was not stolen
“Can a steady diet of lies and innuendo overcome the truth?” the USA Today op-ed began. “In November 2020, former President Donald Trump asserted that voter fraud had altered the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The day after the election, his campaign hired an expert in voter data to attempt to prove Trump’s allegations and put him back in the White House.”
“I am the expert who was hired by the Trump campaign,” Block wrote.

"...show us where Trump has been convicted of insurrection..."
His second impeachment found him guilty..
The bipartisan January 6th committee established his guilt.
The vast majority of Americans observed his conduct in organizing and carrying out his insurrection, they recognize his guilt.
That your inabibility to think for yourself rationally is what prevents you from accepting reality. If your party pretends he's innocent, you go along.
Just because his conviction is still pending, there's no reason for your "celebrating" the delay of justice.

Now you hit upon a fact Leftau, a conviction is still PENDING!
I am celebrating nothing whatsoever. Just here to keep you honest. The rest of your post was meaningless as they were either litigated according to our Constitution in Two Impeachments that failed to find him Guilty as Charged and so he served out his entire term. Impeachments finding Presidents guilty of a charge are meaningless so you can forget that charge of insurrection. So whatever they might have charged him with, he was found not guilty.
Why do you find it necessary to spout meaningless nonsense to try and declare someone guilty that has not been judged so by a jury of his peers. The only thing so far that has been tried was the two Impeachments/Charges that has been tried by his peers and found to not reach the 2/3 majority necessary to convict and remove from office.
Keep trying Water Boy, I find your efforts humorous.
I have already told you my opinion 4 times now how I feel about the 2024 ballot. And my reasoning. This country is being torn apart by all of the nonsensical political bickering that started with the defeat of Hillary Clinton.

Ex-Senior Trump Official Calls Trump a Traitor and “Clear and Present Danger”
Story by Jane Andrews • 23h
“An ex-senior Trump official went on record denouncing the Republican and his actions. The anonymous official called the former president a “traitor” and “a clear and present danger” to the U.S.
ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl’s new book, Tired of Winning, revealed the former Trump ally’s criticism of the ex-president. According to Karl, the official served “at a very high level inside the West Wing, very close to Donald Trump” and has not spoken out publicly against him.”

“The election of Joe Biden as president has led to a dramatic shift in America’s international image. Throughout Donald Trump’s presidency, publics around the world held the United States in low regard, with most opposed to his foreign policies. This was especially true among key American allies and partners. Now, a new Pew Research Center survey of 16 publics finds a significant uptick in ratings for the U.S., with strong support for Biden and several of his major policy initiatives.”
US strength is still being clearly demonstrated not only for in our leadership of support for Ukraine’s war against Putin’s invasion, but also standing with Israel in spite Netanyahu’s failures.

Trump is a one term "president."
He was impeached twice.
Trump hasbeen indicted in 4 states.
He has been charged with 91 felonies.
Trump has been found guilty of sexual abuse.
Trump called his supporters to Washington DC on January 6, 2021.
Trump's defeat was scheduled to be certified by Congress on January 6, 2021, by the counting of EC votes confirming his loss.
He sent his "mob" to the Capital telling them to fight like hell, or you won't have a country any more.
He watched the riot for about two hours from the White House doing nothing to stop the insurrection.
Trump was recorded telling election officials in Georgia to find 11870 votes.
He insisted that the boxes of stolen classified documents at Mar-a-Lago were his to keep.
This could go on for hours....

Well Leftau, I am always interested in a Rags to Riches Story. I have always wondered, for OLe Slo Joe to go from a Net Worth of less than $40,000.00 beflore becoming Vice President to a Net Worth of a little more than $9,000,000.00 in 8 years as Vice President. Just how do you do it. That is a little more than $1,000.000.00 a year increase in Net Worth and having to eat in the meantime, it is an interesting story. That 10% for the Big Guy really adds up, don't you think?
I sure would like to see Ole Joe explain to all of us and maybe a Judge and Jury and see how he did it.
But I guess $8,000,000.00 isn't that much if you say it real fast. But then it's a Little more than I made in my first 8 years as President of my own operation. And he was only a Vice President

The word impeached is thrown around in current America so much it's trivial , everyone is going to get impeached , it started with Trump too...now it includes Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Joe Biden.
A new trend has been started with Trump too , he won't be on a State's Primary Ballot because he's guilty of a crime he never went to trial for while the Democrats have a State Primary with only one Candidate allowed.
Those who have scolded posters for using the Write-In option on Ballots instead of Republican or Democrat , this is why there is the Write-in option.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) won the GOP Iowa caucus in 2016, defeating Trump by 4 points. Trump immediately tweeted that Cruz stole the election. “Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he illegally stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong any [sic] why he got more votes than anticipated. Bad!” Trump tweeted.
“Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified,” Trump added and later threatened to sue.

All the while in the background the National Debt just hit $34 trillion and the new "Budget" negotiations haven't even begun ...how much is this going to be , another couple of trillion.
It's election year , how many "politicians" are looking at their careers instead of the People and Country . How many are looking at Party instead of Country. And the over all grand plan is to keep the Republicans and Democrats fighting over hard problems instead of fixing them , it's so easy to play hard problems instead of fixing them . Like the National Debt , and the border , and trade deficit , wars on the other side of the world , and looming AI..

2022 Election , the Republicans campaigned on stopping Joe's reckless and disastrous spending and the Republicans took over the House Majority...the National Debt just went over $34 trillion , obviously it was a lie..

yeah , like NBC isn't bias , right...
It takes both Parties to get a Country $34 trillion dollars in debt . Trump added over $7 trillion in just 4 years , where is the outrage ? 1 year the Country wasn't even open either
According to this "non-bias" website above :
"The measure was negotiated by Democratic leaders and top Senate Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. It revealed a sharp split between Republicans in the two chambers, with House GOP leaders fighting to torpedo it."

Here's some "free information" -- methinks you do not know everything , no poster knows everything .
If COVID is an excuse for Trump then it's an excuse for Biden .
The National Debt was raised by $3 trillion alone in 2023 , where was the "Republican" House that was elected in 2022 to stop Biden's reckless and disasterous spending . How about the $1.7 trillion deal with Biden in June for a start ?
And there are so many other issues too , like the cities burning due to BLM/Antifa riots , Washington DC being attacked by both the Left and Right domestic terrorist , Mexico getting free oil , Russia/Putin landing in Venezuela , tariff taxes put on Americans , there list is long .
There is the lie too , "it was stolen" , the one some still believe as gospel but has never been proven by People -- even the Trumplicans , Courts , or anyone else ...the only person is Him His-self. Biden is a disaster, Trump was a train wreck . If money is the only thing that matters , Trump wins but there's way more to life then money ...and it's the Progressive Republican\Democrat US of A Government who controls the money anyway

Our rating: False
"Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Pelosi rejected Trump's request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed before Jan. 6. Pelosi's office said the speaker was not contacted about deploying the National Guard prior to the rally, and the Pentagon has previously stated that there is no record of the request.
"A timeline from the Department of Defense about the events leading up to Jan. 6 does not include any mention of a request for 10,000 National Guard members. The former House sergeant-at-arms said he did not have any discussions with congressional leaders about the National Guard until the day of the riot."

More Trumpist hypocrisy…
While being rightfully impeached his lawyers claimed that impeachment was the wrong method, and evidence of criminality should be assessed for indictment after he is out of office.
Yesterday, during the appeal of Trump’s bogus claim of total immunity from all crimes because he had once been President, his lawyers asserted that he could only be put of trial for an offense if he had been impeached for that same offense first.

People in Iowa start to compare or believe Donald Trump is Jesus Christ..this is some serious and scary stuff .
“WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump at a campaign stop in Iowa said America's Civil War could have been “negotiated,” a comment that drew immediate backlash from civil rights groups and historians alike.
“On the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, Trump on Saturday called the Civil War, which began in 1861, “fascinating” and “horrible.”
“So many mistakes were made,” Trump said. “See, there was something I think could have been negotiated, to be honest with you. I think you could have negotiated that. All the people died. So many people died."
“Abraham Lincoln, of course, if he negotiated it, you probably wouldn’t even know who Abraham Lincoln was,” he added.
“Trump’s remarks come just weeks after former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley failed to mention slavery as a cause of the Civil War in a town hall. At a different rally in Iowa, Trump attacked Haley over the response, saying “I’d say slavery is sort of the obvious answer.”
“But Trump's suggestion that the war could have been avoided sparked immediate criticism. Charles V. Taylor Jr., executive director of the Mississippi NAACP, told USA TODAY that “there is no negotiation with slavery.”
“Civil rights, human rights should never be negotiable,” Taylor Jr. said. “When Trump says things that are racially charged, and he says things that are polarizing, when he says things that are obviously offensive… what he says is just so egregious, but he is absolutely talking to a specific group of people and alienating another.”

It's always good to discuss something that has nothing to do with what is going on today.
The Civil War was fought for a number of reasons, not to say Slavery was not a great part of the issue.
In many cases Northern Based Ships were making trips to Africa to bring them over.
In many cases I believe the Africans were rounding up their own people and selling them to Slave Traders.
The South was getting wealthy with their free labor once the slave was paid for and the North was getting jealous of their wealth.
Books have been written about the pros and cons on both sides of the issue.
Obviously owning another human being is wrong. But it has been carried on since Biblical Times.
Bond Slaves were a common thing during the developement of America.
I believe negotiation was done but compromises were seldom reached.
Missouri came into the Union as a Slave State in 1821 as a Slave State alongside Maine coming in as a Free State to keep the balance of Free and Slave States therfore an equal number of Senators
The Misssouri Compromise and the Dred Scott Decision had to do with setting the Stage for the Civil War.
Missouri was a slave state but never left the union. Areas of Missouri from South to North were gravely affected by the Civil War with a Confederate guerrilla leader, called Bloody Bill Anderson, born in Kentucky and moved to Missouri along with others like Jesse and Frank James.
There was much more to the Civil War than just slavery involved,
Last but not least, what does the Civil War have to do with our current issues of high inflation and the failures of our current administration.
Zip, Zero, Nada would be my opinion. It is well in our past and should be left there.

Semo471 I have done a considerable amount of Genealogy Research and discoverd a few things Civil War related
My Father's side of the family.
Great Grandfather came to Missouri after family settled into Cincinnati and a cholera epidemic wiped out all but him, his older sister and younger brother. Along with many others.
The Catholic Priest saw to the placement of his older sister with a family as a maid who later married the son of said family and after the war moved to St. Louis. His younger brother was placed with a childless couple. Having no more good angels he took care of my Great Grandfather. To get them out of the current environment, they organized and in 1856 came to the Promised Land, Southern Missouri and the hotbed of political issues it was involved in. Younger brother was killed during the Civil War.
Mother's side of Family, came from a different area and purchased a farm in about 1856. Great, Great, Great Grandfather was later shot and killed for refusing to join a band of men who rode up to where he was working. He is buried in the woods on what is now an adjoining farm. The 1860 census has his survivors but he is missing. The family moved to Cape Girardeau area to ride out the civil war.
None of my family owned slaves, if for no other reason they were too poor to have owned one. But they were victimized by it nevertheless.

Lead prosecutor in Georgia election subversion case under scrutiny over alleged affair with DA
—
When Nathan Wade was appointed lead prosecutor in the Georgia election interference case in 2021 to prosecute former President Donald Trump, some of his closest allies, lawyers in Cobb County where Wade practiced law, universally wondered, “Why him?”
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had the largest staff of any judicial circuit in Georgia, including salaried lawyers with more experience as felony prosecutors. Wade had once been a prosecutor briefly, but mostly handled misdemeanors and never such a high-profile case.
More than two years later, questions are surfacing about Wade’s role. One of Trump’s co-defendants facing criminal charges over efforts to overturn the 2020 election has alleged in court papers that Wade is romantically involved with Willis and used money he billed the district attorney’s office for his work on the case to take her on lavish vacations.

"If you insist Trump was lying, to himself, then you are too."
I don't insist on a thing. Trump says he knew that he lost fairly (as in how could I have lost to that guy), while at the same time claiming the election was fraudulent and therefore stolen.

Rambling Donald Trump goes off on a bizarre rant about the US military during rally
Donald Trump 'mixes up Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley' day after pictured with 'hand sores' - Mirror Online
Donald Trump's 'mental fitness' under scrutiny amid miscues and confusion at rally
Democrats continue to question Trump's mental capabilities in a turning of the tables following years of Republican critics branding Biden mentally unfit.
Donald Trump's 'mental fitness' has come under yet more scrutiny amid miscues and confusion at his campaign rally.
Democrats continue to question Trump's mental capabilities in a turning of the tables following years of Republican critics branding Biden mentally unfit to serve and questioning his age. Now Biden, 81, has himself waded in, sharing a compilation of Trump’s latest verbal slip, as well previous confusing statements, such as a past claim that voter ID is required to buy a loaf of bread, as well as Trump incorrectly saying he ran against former President Obama.
It comes days after Donald Trump appeared to mix up Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley while speaking about the January 6 Capitol attack. During a New Hampshire rally, Trump spoke to a crowd of supporters remarking on the size of number who had gathered, adding later. "You know when [Haley] comes here she gets like nine people, and the press never reports the crowds you know". The former president went on to say: "By the way, they never report the crowd on Jan. 6. You know Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, you know, they - do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it."
Biden's campaign were quick to pull-up Trump over the mix-up, tweeting: "A deeply confused Trump confuses Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley multiple times: Nikki Haley was in charge on January 6. They don't want to talk about that." Democrats, including Biden, shared a clip far and wide of Trump over the weekend repeatedly confusing former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with Nikki Haley, his GOP rival and the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Compared to Trump he certainly is.
Have you ever listened to Trump's harangues, which can only be described as "fustian" which means...
"...of a person, or their speech or writing: using inflated, pompous, or pretentious language; bombastic; grandiloquent; also (obsolete) using incoherent or unintelligible language.
That description fits Trump perfectly.
Furthermore, Biden is not faced with four separate indictments, with 91 felony charges, and at least two or more civil cases.

Leftau, with you being nothing more than a Democrat Party Pimp, I wouldn't trust your so called facts without proof.
So far a your self professed Trump's big lie, Little Man you have no knowledge what I believe of do not believe, accept or do not accept, nor do I intend on giving you the satisfaction of knowing what I believe on that particular issue. So rail on, your pronouncements of what I know or believe are strictly your stinking opinion nothing more nothing less. You do not know and you aren't smart enough into tricking me into telling you. I know what I believe or do not believe and you are lieing if you say what I believe or accept is fact or not.

I have not said "Trump had no accomplishments."
But since you mentioned it first, I believed you were interested in finding out about some.
What I've done several times in the past is identify and categorize the damage he's done to our nation. If that's something you're also interested in, we can start listing those.
The most serious of those is clearly his "big lie" with which he has convinced far too many gullible republicans that President Biden actually lost the 2020 election and "stole" it.
Needless to say, that's untrue but it's astounding that he was able to convince any republican otherwise.

More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million.
Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low.
The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record.
Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades.
Delivered a future of greater promise and opportunity for citizens of all backgrounds.

Your list indicates that Trump inherited a successful and growing economy from Obama.

What’s my point? You never miss a chance to miss the point.
As far as the Stock Market it hasn’t been that long ago there was screaming and hollering about the rich getting richer. Then Boycott Wall Street failure. So bragging about record Dow when Biden is doing his best to keep the rich down really isn’t a bragging point for his administration.
That said:
Achieved a record-setting economic comeback by rejecting blanket lockdowns.
An October 2020 Gallup survey found 56 percent of Americans said they were better off during a pandemic than four years prior.
During the third quarter of 2020, the economy grew at a rate of 33.1 percent – the most rapid GDP growth ever recorded.
Since coronavirus lockdowns ended, the economy has added back over 12 million jobs, more than half the jobs lost.
Jobs have been recovered 23 times faster than the previous administration’s recovery.
Unemployment fell to 6.7 percent in December, from a pandemic peak of 14.7 percent in April – beating expectations of well over 10 percent unemployment through the end of 2020.
Under the previous administration, it took 49 months for the unemployment rate to fall from 10 percent to under 7 percent compared to just 3 months for the Trump Administration.
Since April, the Hispanic unemployment rate has fallen by 9.6 percent, Asian-American unemployment by 8.6 percent, and Black American unemployment by 6.8 percent.
80 percent of small businesses are now open, up from just 53 percent in April.
Small business confidence hit a new high.
Homebuilder confidence reached an all-time high, and home sales hit their highest reading since December 2006.
Manufacturing optimism nearly doubled.
Household net worth rose $7.4 trillion in Q2 2020 to $112 trillion, an all-time high.
Home prices hit an all-time record high.
The United States rejected crippling lockdowns that crush the economy and inflict countless public health harms and instead safely reopened its economy.
Business confidence is higher in America than in any other G7 or European Union country.
Stabilized America’s financial markets with the establishment of a number of Treasury Department supported facilities at the Federal Reserve.
Tax Relief for the Middle Class
Passed $3.2 trillion in historic tax relief and reformed the tax code.
Signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – the largest tax reform package in history.
More than 6 million American workers received wage increases, bonuses, and increased benefits thanks to the tax cuts.
A typical family of four earning $75,000 received an income tax cut of more than $2,000 – slashing their tax bill in half.
Doubled the standard deduction – making the first $24,000 earned by a married couple completely tax-free.
Doubled the child tax credit.
Virtually eliminated the unfair Estate Tax, or Death Tax.
Cut the business tax rate from 35 percent – the highest in the developed world – all the way down to 21 percent.
Small businesses can now deduct 20 percent of their business income.
Businesses can now deduct 100 percent of the cost of their capital investments in the year the investment is made.
Since the passage of tax cuts, the share of total wealth held by the bottom half of households has increased, while the share held by the top 1 percent has decreased.
Over 400 companies have announced bonuses, wage increases, new hires, or new investments in the United States.
Over $1.5 trillion was repatriated into the United States from overseas.
Lower investment cost and higher capital returns led to faster growth in the middle class, real wages, and international competitiveness.

Sure....
Curious as to your unnamed sources, but that's not a big issue so you get a pass.
The economic comeback that you're praising was largely attributable to our inability to handle the pandemic from the start. Our failures are reflected in the fivefold difference with respect to US cases/deaths and population.
That the US economy flourished before and after Trump has never been questioned.
I'd be highly skeptical if you were to insist that every issue you (or whoever the source was) mentioned was 100% attributable to Trump. There's still a difference between correlation and causation.
With respect to your tax issues, you may have neglected to mention the the cost of about 7 trillion dollars in increased national debt.

Here’s a few more. You do realize this was done while the only thing Congress was doing was trying to knock him off that “pedestal”
Jobs and investments are pouring into Opportunity Zones.
Created nearly 9,000 Opportunity Zones where capital gains on long-term investments are taxed at zero.
Opportunity Zone designations have increased property values within them by 1.1 percent, creating an estimated $11 billion in wealth for the nearly half of Opportunity Zone residents who own their own home.
Opportunity Zones have attracted $75 billion in funds and driven $52 billion of new investment in economically distressed communities, creating at least 500,000 new jobs.
Approximately 1 million Americans will be lifted from poverty as a result of these new investments.
Private equity investments into businesses in Opportunity Zones were nearly 30 percent higher than investments into businesses in similar areas that were not designated Opportunity Zones.
Massive Deregulation
Ended the regulatory assault on American Businesses and Workers.
Instead of 2-for-1, we eliminated 8 old regulations for every 1 new regulation adopted.
Provided the average American household an extra $3,100 every year.
Reduced the direct cost of regulatory compliance by $50 billion, and will reduce costs by an additional $50 billion in FY 2020 alone.
Removed nearly 25,000 pages from the Federal Register – more than any other president. The previous administration added over 16,000 pages.
Established the Governors’ Initiative on Regulatory Innovation to reduce outdated regulations at the state, local, and tribal levels.
Signed an executive order to make it easier for businesses to offer retirement plans.
Signed two executive orders to increase transparency in Federal agencies and protect Americans and their small businesses from administrative abuse.
Modernized the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the first time in over 40 years.
Reduced approval times for major infrastructure projects from 10 or more years down to 2 years or less.
Helped community banks by signing legislation that rolled back costly provisions of Dodd-Frank.
Established the White House Council on Eliminating Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing to bring down housing costs.
Removed regulations that threatened the development of a strong and stable internet.
Eased and simplified restrictions on rocket launches, helping to spur commercial investment in space projects.
Published a whole-of-government strategy focused on ensuring American leadership in automated vehicle technology.
Streamlined energy efficiency regulations for American families and businesses, including preserving affordable lightbulbs, enhancing the utility of showerheads, and enabling greater time savings with dishwashers.
Removed unnecessary regulations that restrict the seafood industry and impede job creation.
Modernized the Department of Agriculture’s biotechnology regulations to put America in the lead to develop new technologies.
Took action to suspend regulations that would have slowed our response to COVID-19, including lifting restrictions on manufacturers to more quickly produce ventilators.

I'm sure there is...
Just as I'm sure that Trump should be personally credited for each and every of these actions.
Here's an interesting item.
"Ended the regulatory assault on American Businesses and Workers."
Step 1 is to assume there was an assault, whatever that means.
Step 2 is to assume regulatory relief has no unintended consequences.
Step 3 is ignore future impacts.
For example...
"FAA taking ‘direct inspection approach’ in Boeing 737 Max 9 crisis, chief says..."
Is it possible that a past "regulatory relief" action was to reduce FAA manpower and allow Boeing and subcontractors to self-inspect production and set their own assembly standards.
Feel free to continue scanning the Internet and the Congressional record to find actions that may or may not be beneficial to society.
Final question (even though I understand your inability or unwillingness to answer).
Do you feel that your litany of accomplishments excuses Trump's mishandling of Covid, and his incitement of an insurrection with the goal of overturning a free and fair election?

"Took action to suspend regulations that would have slowed our response to COVID-19, including lifting restrictions on manufacturers to more quickly produce ventilators."
Another example....
What action, what regulations, what restrictions, which manufacturers, etc.?
It's always easier to generalize, and skip the pesky details.
On this subject, my opinion is still that his biggest contribution was to stay out of the way.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Jan 24, 2024, at 8:07 PM
Ah,back to old insurrection thing when theres nothing else.
Here’s more:
Successfully rolled back burdensome regulatory overreach.
Rescinded the previous administration’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule, which would have abolished zoning for single-family housing to build low-income, federally subsidized apartments.
Issued a final rule on the Fair Housing Act’s disparate impact standard.
Eliminated the Waters of the United States Rule and replaced it with the Navigable Waters Protection Rule, providing relief and certainty for farmers and property owners.
Repealed the previous administration’s costly fuel economy regulations by finalizing the Safer Affordable Fuel Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles rule, which will make cars more affordable, and lower the price of new vehicles by an estimated $2,200.
Americans now have more money in their pockets.
Deregulation had an especially beneficial impact on low-income Americans who pay a much higher share of their incomes for overregulation.
Cut red tape in the healthcare industry, providing Americans with more affordable healthcare and saving Americans nearly 10 percent on prescription drugs.
Deregulatory efforts yielded savings to the medical community an estimated $6.6 billion – with a reduction of 42 million hours of regulatory compliance work through 2021.
Removed government barriers to personal freedom and consumer choice in healthcare.
Once fully in effect, 20 major deregulatory actions undertaken by the Trump Administration are expected to save American consumers and businesses over $220 billion per year.
Signed 16 pieces of deregulatory legislation that will result in a $40 billion increase in annual real incomes.
Fair and Reciprocal Trade
Secured historic trade deals to defend American workers.
Immediately withdrew from the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Ended the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and replaced it with the brand new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
The USMCA contains powerful new protections for American manufacturers, auto-makers, farmers, dairy producers, and workers.
The USMCA is expected to generate over $68 billion in economic activity and potentially create over 550,000 new jobs over ten years.
Signed an executive order making it government policy to Buy American and Hire American, and took action to stop the outsourcing of jobs overseas.
Negotiated with Japan to slash tariffs and open its market to $7 billion in American agricultural products and ended its ban on potatoes and lamb.
Over 90 percent of American agricultural exports to Japan now receive preferential treatment, and most are duty-free.
Negotiated another deal with Japan to boost $40 billion worth of digital trade.
Renegotiated the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement, doubling the cap on imports of American vehicles and extending the American light truck tariff.
Reached a written, fully-enforceable Phase One trade agreement with China on confronting pirated and counterfeit goods, and the protection of American ideas, trade secrets, patents, and trademarks.
China agreed to purchase an additional $200 billion worth of United States exports and opened market access for over 4,000 American facilities to exports while all tariffs remained in effect.
Achieved a mutual agreement with the European Union (EU) that addresses unfair trade practices and increases duty-free exports by 180 percent to $420 million.
Secured a pledge from the EU to eliminate tariffs on American lobster – the first United States-European Union negotiated tariff reduction in over 20 years.
Scored a historic victory by overhauling the Universal Postal Union, whose outdated policies were undermining American workers and interests.
Engaged extensively with trade partners like the EU and Japan to advance reforms to the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Issued a first-ever comprehensive report on the WTO Appellate Body’s failures to comply with WTO rules and interpret WTO agreements as written.
Blocked nominees to the WTO’s Appellate Body until WTO Members recognize and address longstanding issues with Appellate Body activism.

Sure post all the internet links you want...
Then there's
The Economic Policy Failures of the Trump Administration
There is some bitter irony embedded in the original campaign 2016 presidential pitch to “Make America Great Again.” One looks around the country to observe catastrophe without precedent. Making sense of all the events that led to this will take years of investigation and reflection. It will require untangling good policies from bad, intentions versus realities, and many layers of causes and effects. My attempt below is not intended to be partisan; it’s an attempt to tell the sad story I saw unfolding before my weary eyes.
My quick summary: Trumpian economics failed not because of its initial deregulatory push, tax-cut agenda, and judicial appointments. Rather the MAGA agenda failed because of its turn against international trade, its autarkic approach to migration, and, most of all, due to a wildly inconsistent and essentially catastrophic response to the pandemic, all of which trace to a fundamental philosophical pathogen. The post-election antics, culminating in the mob breach of Capitol Hill security, merely put a fine point on it.
Philosophy
From 2015, even from his first public speeches following his presidential run, it was clear that Donald Trump was not a conservative in the Reagan tradition but was selling something of which we had no experience in politics during most lifetimes. He was reviving what I’ve called right Hegelianism that imagines the trajectory of history culminating in the ideal of a nation-state unified and managed by a great leader. In other interactions of this ideology in the interwar period, this unity is economic, social, cultural, religious, and racial.
This is not an American ideal. It’s not about freedom, rights, the rule of law, much less the limits on government. It imagines not a head of state that manages the government but rather an overarching central leader that manages the whole country in all its aspects. The US Constitution was structured not only to prevent such a system but to work as a rebuke to it. The first three words, “We the People,” were chosen carefully to embrace a self-managing society, not one ruled by a person over and over everyone else.
There are many instantiations of right Hegelian ideology but all end up rallying around trade protectionism, migration restrictions, and the centralization of power in the executive. These were the main themes of the 2016 Trump campaign. These themes were not, however, what drew the Republican rank and file to his candidacy. Instead, what the party regulars liked about him was his brash and aggressive willingness to stand up to his enemies. His anger and relentless attacks thrilled people in the party who were fed up with playing nice with the left. That allowed them to overlook the aspects of his ideological push that stood in hard contradiction to anything like traditional American conservatism, much less classical liberalism.
Trade
Trump’s first year began with a more traditional Republican agenda of tax cuts, deregulation, and non-progressive court appointments. Those who had worried that his right-populism and nationalism would predominate felt a sense of calm that things would work out after all. His regulatory appointments were solid free market people who believed in market forces and less centralization. My own grim predictions, made in Newsweek July 16, 2015, had begun to seem overwrought. Even I began to think I had been far too pessimistic.
That all changed on January 22, 2018. That was the date that marked the end of peaceful trade relations with China. The Trump administration slapped high tariffs on the importation of solar cells and washing machines from China. This was the beginning of the trade war that would expand to Europe, Canada, Mexico, most of Asia, and ultimately the entire world. Some apologists claimed that this was nothing other than an attempt to gain trade concessions so that free and fair trade would be achieved. There was no evidence for that, however, apart from the periodic and perfunctory claims by Trump himself that he was not against trade.
The problem was that his actions belied his reassurances. Every policy decision was more extreme than the last. “Trade wars are good” and “easy,” tweeted Trump on March 2, before slapping tariffs of 10-25% on steel and aluminium. Administration spokesmen assured the public that there would be no retaliation, a prediction that defies all known experience.
Thus did it all unfold as the year went on. His one-man campaign to reverse 70 years of progress in trade culminated in a vision more astonishing than anything I could have predicted. Foreign Policy put a fine point on it: Free Trade Is Over.
The Trump administration went one further and imagined that it could and would decouple the US economy from China entirely. In a digital age with infinitely complex and interlocking supply chains extending the world over, this hope amounted to violence against a major source of prosperity since the end of the Second World War. What he ended up seeking was nothing short of trade autarky. This not only pillaged Americans of $63 billion in one year alone; it dramatically reduced US influence in the world, not only over trade deals (China keeps making them, even with the UK) but also over fundamental issues of democracy and human rights (Hong Kong has effectively lost its independence and the US was powerless to stop it). To top it off, a trade war designed to push exports over imports ended up reducing the export contribution to US GDP to the lowest level in ten years.
There was bitter irony associated with his one-man rule over US trade policy. The US Constitution clearly grants that power to Congress. But following the 1930 disaster of Smoot-Hawley tariffs, Congress began systematically to turn that power over to the executive. The belief is that the White House will always be inhabited by a well-educated person who will understand how important global trade is to peace and prosperity. Mostly that has been true. The plan worked until it did not. For fully three years, the world watched in astonishment as one man’s autarkic vision prevailed over the interests of every member of Congress, one hundred plus countries, and hundreds of millions of exporters, importers, and consumers.
Migration
Alongside the hope for national economic independence there was of course the immigration agenda. It began early on with a policy most conservatives embraced: an end to illegal immigration. If you listened carefully, however, you would notice that this was more than a concern about bad actors getting across US borders. Trump frequently spoke about job displacement – which should have been a sign that his immigration agenda was not, at its core, about security or race but was a mere extension of his protectionist trade policies. He intended to keep out both goods and people because he believed, sincerely, that this was the way to make America great.
There were grave consequences of his policies both economically and politically. The US population is growing more slowly than in many decades. In effect, he cut countable immigrants by two thirds of the pre-Trump levels. This has caused the US to experience a labor shortage in retail and hospitality, at least until lockdowns so severely harmed those industries. It’s profoundly affected the tech industry as well as building, construction, and agriculture. Immigration has made a mighty contribution to economic progress, so slashing of the legal levels – and effectively abolishing immigration in 2020 – has had devastating consequences.
Even before the lockdowns of the Spring of 2020, the business community, which one might have supposed would favor his capital-gain tax cuts and deregulatory pushes, turned decisively against the Trump administration and Republicans who failed to stop his dramatic departure from a Reagan-style economic agenda. This created an unprecedented shifting in business community support for the Democratic Party and turning ideologically left.
Lockdowns
The Trump administration’s nationalist push was regrettable enough in its trade and immigration policies. But when it came to the coronavirus, it became absolutely devastating and ultimately wrecked the presidency. The turning point was January 31, when a ban of flights from China took effect. Trump reports he did this on his own, against the advice of everyone around him. It had previously been a well-established principle that flight bans do nothing to curb or mitigate viruses, especially since the virus was already here.
The hope here was surely propagandistic: the belief that the guilt for the virus itself could be pegged on China. Just as they are stealing intellectual property, selling us too-cheap goods, and dishing out compromised technology, so too are they sending us pathogens on airplanes. As with goods, the answer is to use the power of the state to stop the virus. That also put in motion a dangerous trajectory. Why allow any flights from anywhere? For that matter, why should states allow visitors from other states? If the goal of pandemic policy is to minimize exposure, even among non-vulnerable populations, the result would have to be a fundamental upending of life itself.
Sure enough, on March 12, Trump addressed the nation with a disastrous message in which he announced his complete change of mind on the virus. Having dismissed it previously as just another flu, he now saw the opportunity to be the savior to the nation by battling the virus with all his power and prowess.
At the end of the message, he made a shocking announcement. In four days time, all flights from Europe would be blocked. Just incredible and certainly without precedent outside of wartime. Indeed, such travel blocks are fixtures of war, deployed in the name of disease mitigation. The panic around the world was palpable, as people scrambled to book flights back as soon as possible. Huge crowds mingled for many hours in international airports, trying desperately to get back to the US before it was too late. Those travel restrictions were not lifted at any point in the remainder of his presidency.
It was the same with embassies and consulates issuing visas for coming to the US. It was all shut down. No more students. No more workers. No more tourists. The actions on the part of the Trump administration were so draconian and despotic. Though the president would variously claim that his actions saved millions of lives – as many as 4 million even – there is no evidence that blocking these flights and migrations achieved anything. The virus was already here and the US became the world’s leading hotspot. His actions caused a policy and political panic throughout the country. By March 16, most of the country was shut down with stay-at-home orders, limits on hospital use, closed schools, and blocked public gatherings. The lockdown was here, courtesy of the Trump administration, and the economic costs were astronomical.
We often hear people denying that this was the Trump administration’s doing – Trump would later become an advocate for opening up – but it clearly was. The administration’s own Department of Health and Human Services released on March 13 a classified edict: “The U.S. Government COVID-19 Response Plan.” It recommended school closures and business shutdowns. The federal government worked closely with all the states to follow this document, which had clearly been in the works for weeks if not months. Three days later, stocks crashed 13% – not because of the virus that had been here for months but rather because of Trump’s initial lockdowns.
After two weeks to flatten the curve turned into two months, and governors of many states continued to keep their economies closed, Trump began to smell a rat, wondering whether he had been tricked into destroying his own presidency by wrecking the economy. By mid-April, he began to call for opening up the economy. But even here he had doubts. Georgia became the first state to open in late April, but Trump tweeted against it, claiming that it was too soon. Thus did his messaging become completely confused. Was he for or against opening, did the shutdowns save lives or not, should states seek normalcy or keep stringencies?
This lack of clarity, this toggling back and forth between claiming the lockdowns saved millions of lives while at the same time demanding an opening, continued through September. Good sense at the White House did not arrive until public health specialist Dr. Scott Atlas of the Hoover Institution arrived finally to convince the president of the science and the facts. In doing so, he had to battle what amounted to a pro-lockdown fifth column within the White House itself.
By then, it was far too late for the administration to gain control of the narrative. The economy had been smashed, people’s lives wrecked, children and parents traumatized, and the country had become consumed with mass disease paranoia and virus avoidance. Leading into the final days of the campaign, and probably convinced that he had been gaslighted all along, Trump took a different strategy of avoiding the topic of the virus completely.
Carnage
To everyone’s complete astonishment, 2020 became the deadliest year in US history, and not only because of the pandemic. Deaths of despair due to lockdowns, murder, drug overdoses, and other deaths due to throttled medical care in other areas were also major contributors to the year of tragedy. By now, there are at least 28 studies proving that lockdowns do not work. Meanwhile, in China, the country that Trump had targeted three years earlier, had long ago abandoned the lockdowns it had sold the rest of the world and clocked a 6% GDP growth in the fourth quarter year over year.
In addition to this calamity, US government spending soared 47% while the money supply registered record increases as measured by M1. The effects of this debt and money printing will be felt through next year. In addition, New York City is in shambles, Washington, D.C. looks like an armed camp, and most states still have terrible stringencies in place enforced by police power. At least 150,000 businesses are dead, 1 in 4 women with children have left the workforce, millions of kids have lost a year’s worth of schooling, in addition to other staggering costs.
None of this is great. It is a nightmare.
Counterfactuals are impossible but nonetheless tempting. What if the Trump administration had not alienated virtually the whole of the business community with its attempt to reverse 70 years of progress in global trade? What if it had pursued the path of sincere diplomacy rather than coercive belligerence with China? What if it had pushed legal reforms in immigration rather than executive edicts? And what if in January the White House had consulted traditional public health experts rather than allowing career bureaucrats to talk the president into locking down?
We can never know the answers to these questions. But it is likely the case that the country and world would be a very different place than it is today, perhaps even a greater place. The economic policies of the Trump administration constitute one of the greatest lost opportunities of the postwar period. We’ll be paying the price for decades. The fundamental problem traces most fundamentally to an illiberal philosophy behind the seeming policy chaos. Repairing that problem is essential to laying the necessary groundwork to recover what has been lost.

1.) Sure you do...
Response: Nothing you could give Water Boy.
Actual facts:
2:) Trump was impeached twice and found guilty by a bipartisan majority of Senators whose numbers fell slightly short of removal.
Response: By a vindictive Democratic House who's main interest was get Trump rather than to do the work of the American People. And Trump was found not guilty by the number required. So he was for all practical purposes found innocent as charged.
Sooner or later your education may be completed on how our system works in this Country Water Boy. Thought you claimed to be so highly educated. Guess maybe not so much! You do understand that education is a lot more than just coming out of a building with a diploma in hand. That is where your education actually begins
3.) As an incumbant president his reelection bid failed.
Respond: Are you saying that was a first?
4:) In both elections he was unable to win the popular vote.
Response: Again not important because that is not how Presidents are elected in this country. Your vote went to him in the vote that counts Leftau. You should feel proud!
5.) He has been indicted 4 times and charged with 91 felonies.
Response: And he has been found guilty how many times? I thought so.
6.) He was found guilty of sexual abuse and financial fraud.
Response: The sexual abuse claim has nothing to do with politics. And it is questionable as to what for and why. Anything like "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky"? Under oath I believe.
Need help on who made that last statement Leftau. I will give you a hint. It was the husband of the woman that Trump beat, that so upset you
7.) His big lie is exactly that.
Response: According to who Leftau? Just your say so doesn't necessarily make anything so.
8.) Need more facts, Mr. VanGennip?
Response: You should know by now that I never needed your help here Water Boy. The next time I need help from someone like you Little Man, will be the first time? Your Trump hatred overwhelms you!

Trump's sweeping immunity claim rejected by US appeals court

The court concluded that any executive immunity that may have shielded Trump from criminal charges while he served as president "no longer protects him against this prosecution."

D.C. appellate court rejects Trump's immunity claim - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)
Trump’s claim of presidential immunity rejected by D.C. appellate court
WASHINGTON —
“A District of Columbia appellate court panel on Tuesday unanimously rejected former President Trump’s claim that he is immune from prosecution on criminal charges that he plotted to overturn the 2020 election results.
“For the purpose of this criminal case, former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant. But any executive immunity that may have protected him while he served as president no longer protects him against this prosecution,” the three-judge panel wrote.
“In a 57-page opinion, the D.C. circuit court systematically tore through the arguments presented by Trump’s legal team.”
“At bottom, former President Trump’s stance would collapse our system of separated powers by placing the president beyond the reach of all three branches. Presidential immunity against federal indictment would mean that, as to the president, the Congress could not legislate, the executive could not prosecute and the judiciary could not review. We cannot accept that the office of the presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time thereafter,” the opinion states.
“The judges also said that the gravity of the charges brought against Trump weighed in their decision, considering the people’s interest in elections as a check on presidential power.”

‘Completely Deranged’: CNN Fact-Checker Shreds Trump’s New 'Bonkers Nonsense’
"CNN’s fact check reporter Daniel Dale on Thursday thoroughly debunked one of Donald Trump’s latest wild claims, slamming it as “completely bonkers nonsense” and “insane.”
"Trump earlier in the day falsely claimed to reporters that the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection and storming of the U.S. Capitol was caused by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
“That is an insane statement, that is beyond fact-check false. That is completely deranged,” said Dale.
“This was a mob of pro-Trump supporters called to town, urged to be wild by Trump himself. Nancy Pelosi tried to protect the Capitol, tried to summon National Guard troops.

"Imagine a television show about law and order where detectives keep interviewing witnesses who insist they saw no crime committed before they then run into court proclaiming, "We solved the case!"
"You could call it "CSI: Biden Impeachment Inquiry."
"The latest episode aired Wednesday when Rep. James Comer, the Kentucky Republican who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, told Fox News host Sean Hannity that a witness in the investigation of President Joe Biden's family finances had somehow disproven Biden's claim that a "wall" existed between his government work and the business dealings of his son, Hunter.
"One problem: That's not what the witness, Eric Schwerin, said in his closed-door testimony Tuesday.
"Schwerin, in his opening statement, laid out his business history working with Hunter Biden and explained that he also did bookkeeping for Joe Biden when he was vice president, helping him prepare his taxes and financial disclosure statements.
"Schwerin said he saw no money in those books flowing to Joe Biden from his son or other family members.

Actually, if I remember correctly he was hauling Hunter around the world on Air Force II. And Biden made the claim that Hunter was the smartest man he knew.

“Well, the legal cases seem like they’re sort of imploding,” he said. “And so I’m not overly worried in terms of whether he’s going to be indicted or convicted by the election.”
Pawlenty said it’s a foregone conclusion that Trump will be the GOP nominee for president unless something extraordinary happens. Barring that, he doesn’t believe former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has much of a shot at the White House.
Pawlenty, however, isn’t too excited about the prospect of rehashing 2020 in 2024.
“On the one hand, we have President Biden, who’s feeble — physically, mentally, and politically. On the other hand, we have a Republican nominee or putative nominee (Trump) who’s a little nutty. So, as a nation, these are the choices we have,” Pawlenty said.

You're way off base again, Mr. Schaefer, the world revognizes that the report was written by a Trumpist with the objective of contributing to the Trump campaign.
What the world also recognizes is that President Biden provided exceptionally strong leadership in countering Putin's war against Ukraine, strengthening and expanding NATO, and providing a rational level of support to both Israel and Palestinian women and children.

Trump's NATO comments might scare lawmakers but even Republicans voted to make it nearly impossible for him to leave the alliance
"Congress has passed a sweeping law that may spell trouble for Trump if he wins in 2024.
"Trump's views about NATO received renewed attention after he riffed during a political rally.
"The former president said he told a foreign leader the US might not defend a NATO member.
"Former President Donald Trump sparked a backlash over the weekend after he suggested that he would let Russia attack NATO members that fail to meet the alliance's spending targets.

"2.) Are you also in favor of Putin's war against Ukraine?"
Leftau, owed it or not, I thought I would give you a little more of my position on this.
Here goes..........
I am against a bully country like Russia going after their smaller neighbors, period end of that discussion.
! am against Communism from the git go and anything to do with it.
I am against the Leftist Democrats and their position on Socialism
I am against what many of that breed want in the final analysis and that is Communism and Total Control of the People in our Country
I am against the Far Left Faction of the Democratic Party and what I see as their greed for power and the ultimate takeover of our country.
I am aganst the opening of our border to create a breed of dependents and the ultimate unbeatable voter block the Democrats want to accomplish the above points.
As I love my country, I will do what I can to see that the Far Left Democrats fail at the above!
Like it of not Leftau, that is my position and I see you as a Party Lackey who has bought into it or is too dum* to know what is going on.

Trump was at a MAGA campaign rally in South Carolina telling the mindless MAGA what they wanted to hear, trying to extort Foreign States. It worked with the Republican Party and it's members so why not do Foreign States too. He has to do something to beat Haley in her home State. There was not one Republican sign nor did trump endorse the Republican Party at that rally , it was 100% MAGA signs. There are millions of mindless MAGA in America who believe Trump is still the President sad as it is , it's just not true, get ready for his MAGA boyfriend's attack , it's eminent.
The most urgent problem in America right now is the mindless Joe Biden , he's the one who's created the problems Americans are living today . Trump's mindless garbage is what it is , it's who he is , it's what he does. His close ties with Putin is another reason why he lost in 2020 and not because of "fraud , rigged , and illegal".
Hell , Tucker Carlson is over in Russia playing footsies with Putin for Trump votes , nothing else needs to be said..

Trump took aim at Haley’s husband, who was deployed to Africa in June with the South Carolina Army National Guard, for not being on the campaign trail with Haley at a Saturday rally in South Carolina.
GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley again slammed former President Donald Trump for his comments mocking her deployed husband, saying a “rogue golf ball” is the closest the former president has ever come to combat.
“The closest Donald Trump has ever come to harm’s way is a rogue golf ball hitting his cart. It’s not surprising that he doesn’t understand the sacrifices made by those in uniform,” Haley wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Jared Kushner investment firm Affinity raises $3 billion in committed funding
"Democrats say Trump got at least $7.8 million from China, Saudi Arabia, and other countries while in the White House, and the news broke while James Comer was trying to link President Biden to illegal businesses.
Qatar spent $300,000 at the Trump Hotel in 2018, the House Committee documents revealed. The document alleged, “Between January and early March 2018, the Sheikh Al Thani Family, the ruling family of Qatar, booked an extended stay at the Trump Hotel, spending at least $282,037. On several occasions during this period, for example, on February 11 and February 12, 2018, a room under the name ‘Ivanka & Jared Kushner’ was booked on the same nights of the Sheikh Al Thani room block.”
"Democrats started the investigation two years ago and reportedly revealed that Trump, then a sitting president, gained $7.8 million from foreign countries, including China. China is among the nations the GOP is mainly focused on while searching for an alleged illegal business committed by President Biden."

“Great news” for SO conspiracy theorists…..
Former FBI informant charged with lying about the Bidens’ role in Ukraine business, undercutting GOP impeachment inquiry
"CNN - Special counsel David Weiss charged a former FBI informant with lying about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden’s involvement in business dealings with Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, undercutting a major aspect of Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into the president.
Alexander Smirnov, 43, is facing charges in connection with lying to the FBI and creating false records. He was arrested Thursday at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, after his arrival in the US from overseas, and will make his initial appearance in federal court Thursday afternoon.
"CNN is working to determine whether Smirnov has an attorney.
"The indictment alleges that Smirnov’s story to the FBI “was a fabrication, an amalgam of otherwise unremarkable business meetings and contacts that had actually occurred but at a later date than he claimed and for the purpose of pitching Burisma on the Defendant’s services and products, not for discussing bribes to [Joe Biden] when he was in office.”
Congressional Republicans have championed Smirnov’s now-discredited allegations for roughly a year, though not by name. They fought with the FBI to obtain memos about what Smirnov told investigators and publicly released the materials over the FBI’s objections.
"The congressional Republicans repeatedly praised Smirnov as “credible” and put his uncorroborated claims front-and-center in their impeachment inquiry into the president.

I guess I am having a hard time underatanding what the issue is with Trump. Even if he overstated his net worth, and he received a loan based on this. If he repaid the loan and noy was hurt financially where is the problem?
If every person who has overstated his worth to receive a loan was locked up the country would go broke building jails to hold them. Many years ago, I knew a young man starting a business who purchased a used pickup from a salvage lot, that still would run and drive. I don't know how many loans that same pickup was pledged on as a vehicle that would have come off a used car lot rather than a salvage lot. There was no money that could be lost as his Father with plenty stood behind him if things went wrong. They did not go wrong, they went incredibly right and when he passed some time ago his wife and Children were left well off. He established himself with that old truck as one of his assets and everybody in the circle was left better off financially. And while not pledged, Daddy's support was behind him and would not have left anyone get hurt in the process. I did a lot of business with this man over they years and he owed me fair sums of money on open account from time to time. I never lost 10 cents with him and he became a good friend. The world misses people like this. If Trump had defaulted I would saythey have a right to go after him . But if nobody lost anything, where is the basis for damages. And by who's calculation was his assets overvalued?

Big banks making big loans such as those that Trump made do their own investigation of the assets of the borrower. So how could there be fraud if the bank was OK with the loan and payments??

His dad gave him a fortune and he lost it . Filed bankruptcy , started again and lost it , it's a cycle , his entire life . Lawsuits , appeals , counter lawsuits . The guy has too much experience in bankruptcy court for this to stop otherwise , it's more of a vote getting thing , another vicitm card played .
Things to consider , he lost the E.Carroll by jury, he lost this , he lost the Stormy Daniel Hearing Ruling . It's not a good look IMO .

Most voters say their party loses more than wins: Poll
🔸Pew Research reports 71% of more than 5,100 Americans surveyed in January believe that their political allegiance is losing more than it is winning.
🔸As of January, 27% of Americans consider themselves Democrats compared to 25% of Republicans, Gallup reported. An estimated 45% of Americans consider themselves as independent, a faction of voters that will likely factor into November’s general election.
🔸Pew polling that took place in 2023 showed inflation remained the top issue of concern for Republicans and right-leaning independents. Data showed in June 77% of those voters considered inflation a “big problem” while 81 Democrats and left-leaning independents consider gun control the biggest issue.
🔸Early in Trump’s final year in the White House, 69% of GOP voters indicated their side was winning, compared to just 29% that said their party was losing more than winning. At the same time, however, 80% of Democrats felt like their party was losing on critical issues, Pew indicated.
🔹The polling takes place when President Joe Biden holds a historically low 39% approval rating as he prepares for a second showdown with Trump in November.

"Hur’s office interviewed Biden last year but found he did not have a “mental state of willfulness” and, therefore, was not worth indicting over his handling of classified documents because “it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him.”

“A professor has said that Donald Trump's mental slip-ups are worse than Joe Biden's because of two key signs.
“Prof Paul Quirk from the University of British Columbia claims Trump's "slurred speech" and "gross, repeated errors" are signs of his "more apparent cognitive decline".
“The age of the two men who are fighting it out to become the next president is being talked about a lot. Biden is 81 years old and Trump is 77.
“Biden was called an "elderly man with a poor memory" in a report this month. He sometimes forgets names or mixes up facts.
“Trump has also been criticised for saying strange things, like when he suggested Vladimir Putin should attack America's friends in NATO. Nikki Haley, Trump's last rival for the Republican nomination, said Trump has "senior moments".
“But Prof Quirk thinks Trump's problems are more serious than Biden's. He told Newsweek: "From the standpoint of the campaign, Biden's age should be less of an issue than Trump's more apparent cognitive decline - displayed in slurred speech and gross, repeated errors in one campaign rally after another."
"The legitimate concern about Biden's age is that by the end of a second term, he would be almost five years older than he is now. There is obvious potential for serious cognitive failure by then. And if it occurred, the real danger is that Biden would fail to recognize it, and refuse to let his vice president take over."

Anybody that thinks Dead Man Walking should be President even right now, today, has some serious cognitive abilities of their own to deal with. I stated this is the fourth time. I do not think either of them should be on the ballot and I gave the reasons. Look it up. Trump may have his moments I don't know, but to say he is in worse shape in this area than Dead Man Walking is ridiculous in the least.
And Professor "Quirk" from Nowheresville. How hard did you have to look to find him Water Boy and when did he do a personal visit with Trump.
At this point be an American first and a political hack 2nd and find the best man for America. Stop the damned bickering and run this country for Americans not the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.
The kind of crap that started right here on these threads with the "Now that he has raised himself to a Pedestal" BS. For your information Leftau that is what being a political hack is all about. Trump raised himself to nothing. The people of America elected him to office and yes I understand the Electoral College so you can spare us that little speach about Witch Hilda won the popular vote. That isn't the way it is done here in the United States of America.
So now give us that little repetitious he has been twice etc. etc.
The facts are this country was in better shape when Trump left office than it has been since. When I can easily carry a $100 worth of groceries up a set of steps, where I could not 4 years ago is not because I am getting stronger. The world economy is not the problem the problem is the United States of America's economy and inflation. Shades of Jimmy Carter! Another runaway inflationary period. We have for many years thought of ourselves as world leaders not world followers.
For over three years we have had no leader. We have a committee pushing our figurehead Puppet's buttons.

Rick, as I understand it, this New York mess is just another get Trump deal. He overinflated his Financial Statements to get a loan. At this point a Banker has a responseablity also to verify that information to the best of their ability. But did they or not, I do not know. But they gave him the loan and he paid them back and the bank made money on the deal. So who got hurt? Nobody! So what is there to justify a $300 to $400 million dollar fine and penalty. Trump may take a hit, but I will lay you money that New York looses a hell of a lot more than they gain in the deal. Smart money will invest elsewhere when those kinds of punitive actions take place.
Falsified financial declarations have taken place for ages and I daresay still do. How many people do you think may have fibbed a little on their financial condition to buy the house they are living in. Not many people end up paying cash for the home they live in. Following the advice of my accountant many years ago. I built credit with my bank by borrowing small amounts of money and paying them back early. Increasing over time, until it benefited us to borrow working capital to take advantage of preseason deals on equipment, It got to where when we had a receivable before payables were in you called the bank and said put X into my checking account and then you paid them back in 5 days or a month and paid interest on the days you had the money. It worked for them and it worked for me. One thing to get ahead that you must have is the ability to borrow, credit in other words. To the point where, when we built our building after selling the previous one, the contractor says what happens if you run out of money before the building is finished? Can you get a letter of credit? I said I suppose so, I have never done that before. So I called my bank and they made it simple. They sent a letter saying if he runs out of money we will give him some more. And I have never filled out a credit application at that bank. And they continue to be my bank since 1963. The key to the whole thing is simple. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Don't borrow $10 if you are only doing enough business to pay back $5! And my bank is as conservative as I am.
From where I sit and the Trump/New York CF. Trump fudged hid numbers, but nobody lost anything, they all made money and some freaking nobody politician gets his nose in and they are going to punish Trump if it kills them. Stupid is what it is.
Developers seeing what is happening will take their money elsewhere and avoid the risk. New York is going to loose more than what they gain if they force the money out of Trump. Theirs is a high tax rate to start with as it is. And now Truckers are taking up the ball and running with it. They are refusing to take loads going into New York.

Supreme Court agrees to weigh Trump’s criminal immunity in historic case
The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to take up the issue of whether former President Trump can be criminally prosecuted for his efforts to overturn his 2020 reelection loss, setting up a historic case that tests the limits of presidential immunity.
The justices’ order keeps Trump’s Jan. 6 criminal trial proceedings on hold, for now, but it hands a win to special counsel Jack Smith by keeping alive a pathway for his prosecution to reach a jury before the 2024 presidential election.
Trump had urged the justices to slam the brakes on his trial but hold off on taking up his immunity claims on the merits until the former president first exhausts his appeal options in a lower court.
That process would’ve lasted weeks, if not months, which would’ve aided Trump in further running out the clock so he can first have a shot at returning to the White House and end the prosecution before a jury gets the case.
At Smith’s suggestion, the Supreme Court instead opted to hear the former president’s immunity claims now.

“Nobody can explain to me how allowing millions of people from places unknown, from countries unknown, who don’t speak languages,” he confusingly railed. “We have languages coming into our country. We have nobody that even speaks those languages. They’re truly foreign languages. Nobody speaks them, and they’re pouring into our country, and they’re bringing with them tremendous problems, including medical problems, as you know.”
“CNN’s fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale told anchor Kaitlan Collins that Trump has made a similar claim “about people arriving speaking languages that no one‘s ever heard.”

“In February, amidst widespread discussion of Alexei Navalny’s death, a looming government shutdown and battlefield losses by Ukraine while a military assistance package is stalled in the House, Trump hawked sneakers at a convention in Philadelphia.
“At a price of $399 a pair, the limited edition of 1,000 “Never Surrender High Top” sneakers feature a large “T” on the side and a U.S. flag on the collar. At least 10 autographed pairs were offered to “go-getters who don’t know the word quit … true Patriots.” The sneakers’ website, which also sells Trump-branded shoes, cologne and perfume, claims that the product has “nothing to do with any political campaign.”

Trump Is 'Surrounded Entirely by Enablers' Eager to Diminish Apparent Cognitive Decline, Jonathan Lemire Says
“Analyzing a series of public Donald Trump gaffes while he campaigned in North Carolina and Virginia over the weekend, Politico's White House bureau chief Jonathan Lemire said Monday that the former president is "surrounded entirely by enablers" who are just "forging forward" through apparent cognitive decline.
"He's surrounded entirely by enablers during this campaign and would be again if he were to be in the White House for a second time," Lemire said on Monday's "Morning Joe." "There would be no guardrails, there would be no adults in the room, there would just be people doing what he wants."
“The conversation began with cohosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough relentlessly replaying clips of Trump mixing up Barack Obama and Joe Biden, of him stumbling through the pronunciation of "Venezuela," of him referring to the South American country Argentina as if it were a person and more.
"There is nobody around Donald Trump that can protect him from himself," Scarborough said, indicating that even if the gaffes were signs of ailing health, the former president would likely hear nothing of it.
"He's just not the same guy he was five, 10, even 15 years ago. Nobody's saying he was a saint then, but we knew him, he's radically different. You look at him talking radically different," Scarborough continued. "You look at Jan. 6 — he had every single person in the White House begging him to stop the riot … Didn't listen to anybody. He's alone. So as we go through this sad scene, there is nobody that can take him off the stage and say, 'You're not well. You need to get checked and taken care of.'"

"...better off with his Presidency..."
That's not correct at all. You're just comparing pre-covid with post covid.
The fact is GDP fell by 2.77% in 2020 and grew by 5.95% in 2021.

But Leftau. Isn’t it a little strange that you find this one man's analysis as being a reason to keep Trump off the ballot when you gave your blessing to Dead Man Walking being on the ballot because the Democrats placed him their for his likeability and there would be others to guide him? Not your exact words, but the message you conveyed.
Different rules for Democrats, right Leftau? Or is it just the shoe is now on the other foot and it pinches?
Ok for a brain dead Democrat to be President but not a Republican that one man says is declining, right Leftau?

I’ll repeat myself without those well placed asterisks.
It wasn’t long ago Mr Lettau got all twisted up when a prosecutor gave a description of Biden’s cognitive abilities that kept him from testifying. Now there’s a Mr Lemire saying essentially the same about Trump and Mr Lettau is,well,stating it as some kind of fact.
Can’t have it both ways,but then that’s what you do.

Leftau call relying on facts and carefully watching Dead Man Walking for better than three years now, I don't believe I am even close to wallowing in ignorance. WE are being led by a man who has never held a real job, knows little to nothing about anything other than politics, is accused of having his fingers in millions of dollars from our enemy countries, walks into walls and falls up the step on Air Force I, and you seem to think you can convince me that he is the epitome of capability in managing our country. Sorry Charlie, but I am not buying. I read your ignorance displayed, when you excused the bank statements showing what could easily be bribe money coming into Biden Checking accounts as nothing more than numbers on a piece of paper.
How damned stupid do you think we are Leftau? Your ignorance was proudly on display with that one statement alone but, there have been others, You are nothing more, nothing less than a Democratic Party Pimp and about the last person I can think of when looking for facts. I have listened to your blowing your own horn before like retiring and buying a horse farm. Well for your info, knowing the area you live I took a quick look at my Bollinger County Plat Map that I have subscribed to for a good number of years in doing Genealogy work and know exactly where and what you own and the two roads intersection nearby. You see Leftau when I have an adversary on anything I always check out who I am dealing with. Maybe farms are smaller where you come from.
So blow your horn to your hearts content, but when I want facts, I will look elsewhere. I don't normally get my facts from four flushers and blowhards. I will continue to wallow in my knowledge gained from reputable sources, not Democratic Party Pimps.

No Rant, Water Boy!
just laid out a few facts of life for you
You are a slow learner or you would know better than to start something you have no answers for.
To repeat something I remember someone say....
Don't start none and there wont't be none
And just as a fair warning to you Leftau, I intend to be tuned in to Fox News Thursday evening March 7 at 8:00 PM to hear what Dead Man Walking has to say in person and to keep your appraisal of the speech honest instead of dressed up. None of that, this is what he said but this is what he meant BS will be acceptable. And just to be sure you cannot fudge the facts I will be recording it as well.
And one more thing Little Man.
This is the definition of a rant.
"noun
a spell of ranting; a tirade:"
Laying out some facts and sticking to the truth does not fit the definition of a rant.
So Leftau,
Responding to your accusations against me,
Countering your lies
And stating some facts for you does not count as a rant where I come from. It is called a defence against an attack.

Trump is degenerating before our eyes — MAGA voters don't notice or don't care
"Despite the best efforts of the Beltway press to present him as a spry young man next to 81-year-old Joe Biden, it's getting harder by the day to ignore that 77-year-old Donald Trump is decompensating rapidly. He wasn't all that healthy or coherent to begin with but, lately, watching him speak has the feel of getting cornered by the weird creep at the nursing home. Around lunchtime on Monday, all three cable news networks cut to Trump awkwardly accepting the Supreme Court nullifying the 14th Amendment on his behalf. After a few semi-coherent, if gross, remarks about how he was "honored" by the ruling, Trump launched straight into a stream of paranoid jabber more appropriate for someone having a psychiatric episode on a city bus than for a major presidential candidate.
"He started rambling about how he wanted "immunity" for all his crimes, claiming that without that, "You really don’t have a president, because nobody that is serving in that office will have the courage to make, in many cases, what would be the right decision — or it could be the wrong decision." By the time he got to defining "migrant crime" as a "new category of crime," both MSNBC and CNN were cutting away. Not because it wasn't newsworthy, but I suspect it was more a reasonable worry that viewers would be driven away. It's much like the way folks avert their eyes when a delusional person on the sidewalk starts screaming at the demons he wishes to fight with "sticks and stones," to quote something Trump said about immigrants.
"His appearance got stranger after most networks had muted him. A bit later, he complained that it takes him 10 minutes to wash his hair, which he somehow blamed on Democrats instead of on the full bottle of hairspray he uses on his remaining locks every morning.
"Hard as it may be to believe, this lunchtime performance was less of a sundowning moment than his speech in Virginia on Saturday night. Trump repeatedly forgot what he was talking about, despite the Teleprompter, even drifting off at one point into literal babble."

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Mar 6, 2024, at 7:56 AM
Here’s the periodic reality check…
The reference to “…Dead Man Walking…” is merely one of your favorite caricatures, but is a simple-minded, deliberate misrepresentation that has no basis in the truth.
Claiming that we are being “…led by a man who has never held a real job…” is another distortion based on a presumption that a “real job” is selling heating supplies or dealing in real estate. Of course being in the senate or as Vice-President are real jobs.
And keep in mind that knowing “…little to nothing about anything other than politics…” and having extensive experience in domestic and international affairs, and in government is not a failing, it’s what Presidents need to know to deal with both Congress and foreign governments.
One of the ongoing conspiracy theories, for which there is zero proof, is his being “…accused of having his fingers in millions of dollars from our enemy countries.” Our House of Representatives has been vainly searching for evidence and have found none.
Instances of “…walks into walls and falls up the step on Air Force One…” may well be correct but is not indicative of anything other than age.
My contentions have not been more than noting that he has the “… capability in managing our country…” far more successfully than his predecessor ever did.
For you to try to insist that the “…bank statements showing what could easily be bribe money coming into Biden…” is nothing more than an invented, fabricated “problem,” as there’s no corroboration of any wrongdoing. Probably wait before making unfounded accusations of bribery,
It is true that “…checking accounts [are] nothing more than numbers on a piece of paper…” unless they are evidence of actual criminality, which in this case they’re not. Recall the recent loan repayment was supposed to be the “smoking gun” except it wasn’t.
The rest of your rant, outburst, bombast, tirade (call it whatever you like) contains nothing relevant and is only your customary, childish name calling.
What you want to know about where I live and what I do is no secret. If you want information, just ask.
I’ve never “blown my own horn” in any way, particularly as compared to others who claim their “superiority.”
Last suggestion with regard to looking for facts…
Perhaps you might check other sources, as what you’re getting from those you use now, are providing pretty unreliable information.

Unfortunately it looks like Trump will be one of the Candidates on the 2024 ballot unless he meets his untimely demise . Of course Haley had no chance against Trump but she didn't fold until now and stuck to her real , true , Republican🐘 principles . Most wouldn't give her the time of day , wouldn't listen to a word she said but she wasn't Trump and he's Golden . Life and costs in America will not return to the year 2020 , the newly created excuses should be entertaining. America and the American People have always been great no matter what happens . MAGA , my "_ss" .
And Biden too . Only Party can support Biden and it appears as though Party is beginning not to support Biden . I believe the State of the Union Address is either going to make or break Biden . It's over for him if he gets up there and fumble mucks that State of the Union Address . He steps off. Why he is the Democrat candidate for 2024 is the second biggest enigma of this Century .

Respect comment Don't respect
! Report comment to editor
Here’s the periodic reality check…
1.) The reference to “…Dead Man Walking…” is merely one of your favorite caricatures, but is a simple-minded, deliberate misrepresentation that has no basis in the truth.
Response: My reference to Joe Biden as "Dead Man Walking" was what I started looking at him from the day he confused his wife with his sister during the 2020 campaign. I have been married well on the lying side of 65 years and am 6 years older that Dead Man Walking and I very well know who I am married to and never in all of those years have I forgotten it. She has been ill for six years and along with people I hired to help me 8 hours a day I am her caregiver. I very well know who she is. And Dead Mana Walking has done much to reinforce that with his mutterings, cannot follow his que cards and his running into walls and falling up steps.
2.) Claiming that we are being “…led by a man who has never held a real job…” is another distortion based on a presumption that a “real job” is selling heating supplies or dealing in real estate. Of course being in the senate or as Vice-President are real jobs.
Response: I totally disagree. Politics, you get paid for spending other people's money. Try earning enough to try and live the kind of lifestyle you desire is a totally different picture. Kiss *** and lie are the greater achievements of most political animals I have watched.
3.) And keep in mind that knowing “…little to nothing about anything other than politics…” and having extensive experience in domestic and international affairs, and in government is not a failing, it’s what Presidents need to know to deal with both Congress and foreign governments.
Response: Our respect on a world level has people laughing at us behind our backs. Another Dead Man Walking accomplishment.
4.) One of the ongoing conspiracy theories, for which there is zero proof, is his being “…accused of having his fingers in millions of dollars from our enemy countries.” Our House of Representatives has been vainly searching for evidence and have found none.
Response: I disagree that nothing has been found. Where and why do you think all of those millions of dollars that have been sent to the Biden Money Laundering companies and Bank Accounts, and why? The Democrats have been impeding full investigation. Hunter riding around in Daddy's furnished Airplane at the expense of taxpayer and Daddy having no idea of what is going on??? I call BS
5.) Instances of “…walks into walls and falls up the step on Air Force One…” may well be correct but is not indicative of anything other than age.
Response: I call BS again. I have 5 years on him and have been guilty of neither, walking into walls or falling up steps. My Mother Passed at 96 and she never had that issue. My last Uncle Passed recently at 99 years of age and he did not have that issue. The man is senile
6.) My contentions have not been more than noting that he has the “… capability in managing our country…” far more successfully than his predecessor ever did.
Response: Disagree totally, Inflation is out of control and not because of a world problem it is because of United States Of America problems with leadership. We are overrun with illegals because of an ill thought out Executive Order to overturn a successful program initiated by his Predecessr. A Program that was legally initiated by the Previous President to protect the people of the United States Of America, not a bunch of illegals looking for a better state of life rather than creating it in their own country. And the problems continue with no resolution in sight.
7.) For you to try to insist that the “…bank statements showing what could easily be bribe money coming into Biden…” is nothing more than an invented, fabricated “problem,” as there’s no corroboration of any wrongdoing. Probably wait before making unfounded accusations of bribery,
Response: Read again what I wrote. I did not accuse him of bribery, I said it could easily be bribe money, and that is factual. Why don't you tell us how the money was earned and please be specific.
8.) It is true that “…checking accounts [are] nothing more than numbers on a piece of paper…” unless they are evidence of actual criminality, which in this case they’re not. Recall the recent loan repayment was supposed to be the “smoking gun” except it wasn’t.
Response: Leftau you made a dumb statement, why make it worse?
"It is true that “…checking accounts [are] nothing more than numbers on a piece of paper…” youjust said. Leftau, first place it was not "checking accounts" that were mentioned, it was Bank Statements that are made on checking accounts and savings accounts. And Checking accounts have to do with money that is deposited in a bank for the purpose of writing checks to pay a current indebtedness, Savings Accounts are for just that, putting money into an account to draw interest and to be used for a future need. Banks issue a "statement" periodically to help you keep track of your savings and checking accounts and to reconcile with your own record keeping.
Now to address your initial dumb statement that Bank statements are nothing but numbers on a piece of paper. Anybody with better than a grade school diploma should know what they are. No they are not money, but they are an accounting of money deposited with a banking institution. Run a business sometime and you will learn to read and understand the need for keeping track of your money both personally and with the institution. If you do not you may find that your Receivables did not equal your Payables and just writing checks will not always satisfy your creditors. Wife and I ran our business together and I have a letter in my files from the Credit Manager of our largest supplier congratulating us on how we managed our monthly payables. And he once gave us credit for over 7 numbers to buy preseason on special 30,60,90 day terms to get all discounts, offered to allow the manufacturer to build and stock more products for the upcoming season. Made us do long term weather forcasting as well as money forecasting.
Yes your statement that bank statements are nothing but numbers on a piece of paper was laughable and nothing more than 8th grade level thinking. But yes I know, you will say or do anything to defend a Democrat.
9.) The rest of your rant, outburst, bombast, tirade (call it whatever you like) contains nothing relevant and is only your customary, childish name calling.
What you want to know about where I live and what I do is no secret. If you want information, just ask.
Response: I think I already explained this in a civil manner but since you insist. When I find an individual making statements that I question. I check out the person and the statement personally so I know what I am dealing with. I don't ask the person when I suspect BS I check for myself.
10) I’ve never “blown my own horn” in any way, particularly as compared to others who claim their “superiority.”
Response: Ha!
11) Last suggestion with regard to looking for facts…
Perhaps you might check other sources, as what you’re getting from those you use now, are providing pretty unreliable information.
Response: I will let the Bollinger County Plat Book you said their information is unreliable.

And if it comes to Dead Man Walking or Trump one will be the president for the next 4 years. I do not want to see 4 more years of this train wreck and will vote accordingly. I will not stay home and thereby help him win

-- Posted by DA Braswell on Wed, Mar 6, 2024, at 7:01 PM
You don't have to guess, it's true. Best example is his failure and incompetence at handling the pandemic.
Another very significant factor is that in his first term he did surround himself with good and competent people, who steered him properly for the most part. Problems arose when he didn't listen.
In a second term he has already let it be known that rather than experience, expertise, knowledge proficiency and intelligence would not be the criteria for hiring staff members, only blind loyalty would matter.

If 2 marbles starts doing his repetitive fumble mucks , the apparent problem that's trying to be ignored and/or pushed to the side can no longer happen , it will be there for all to see . Personally , this has the implication of Biden being unfit for another 4 years . If he staggers to the podium , really fumble mucks through the entire Address , the scramble will be on to get him to step off in the most dignified of ways .
At this point , Kamamla Harris is making more public appearances with both domestic and foreign dignataries then Biden for wharever reasons . For example , Monday she met with a member of Israel’s wartime Cabinet who came to Washington in defiance of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu . On Feb.17 , Kamamla Harris met with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine . The thought of President Harris is enough to turn an American inside out . It's just another unknown..
When and who would step on after Biden steps off is the question . It would have to be somebody really well known which doesn't always guarantee the best of a Leader ....and hey , Democrats , be careful what you wish for, you just might get it...you know, like Joe Biden ..

READ: McConnell Speech After Trump's Impeachment Trial Acquittal
Minutes after voting to acquit former President Donald Trump of a charge that he incited the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell took to the floor and delivered a blistering speech explaining his decision. Saying that he found Trump "practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day," the Kentucky Republican explained that he did not feel the former president was constitutionally eligible for conviction.
The text of his remarks follows:
January 6th was a disgrace.
American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like.
Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president.
They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth – because he was angry he'd lost an election.
Former President Trump's actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty.
The House accused the former president of, quote, "incitement." That is a specific term from the criminal law.
Let me put that to the side for one moment and reiterate something I said weeks ago: There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.
The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.
And their having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth.

Would you agree with that Leftau?
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Thu, Mar 7, 2024, at 3:50 PM
Hmmm,wrong again? So Mr Lettau has an MSNBC talking head questioning the competence of Trump and suddenly that’s expert. A federal prosecutor says a whole lot more about Biden’s mental state and Mr Lettau dismisses it.
I’d say I was exactly right.

DA, Leftau went sour on Trump soon as it was announced that he had bested Hillary Clinton aka Broom Hilda in 2016. I don't look for him to mellow on the case any time soon.

Mr. Braswell,
As you may well know, the supposed objective of Hur's report was to publish a neutral, clinical evaluation of the handling of classified documents to reveal any criminality or obstruction.
Report findings identified no wrongdoing or illegal actions.
I'll also be glad to give you credit for recognizing the specific purpose behind Hur's extraneous and irrelevant digressions from the basic required narrative.
It would have been both embarrassing and problematic had the Trump appointed prosecutor returned no findings of value to republican conspiracy theorists. So it appears that he did what he could to make it up to his party.
In any case, I dismissed nothing, simply because there were no valid points to refute.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 7, 2024, at 5:55 PM
So you agree that any non medical person can analyze a person whether Trump or Biden and decide their competency. Can’t have it both ways. Let me guess. Non of those degrees you claim have any medical background.
-- Posted by DA Braswell on Thu, Mar 7, 2024, at 6:06 PM
I didn't make any analysis on either individual. I just gave my opinion on what went on with formulation of the Hur report.
My opinion on Trump is based on his words and actions, in observing his management and decision making competence, not an analysis of his competence from a medical standpoint.

Interesting points...
Editorial: Signal in the noise: Trump’s authoritarianism must be top of mind
"There’s a concept in behavioral science known as “normalcy bias,” or the notion that we are prone to believe that status quos will more or less hold, and to underestimate the likelihood of worst-case scenarios. This was useful in granting us the evolutionary advantages of resiliency and optimism; human collaboration and creativity was powered to some extent by the expectation that things would pan out in the end, and no matter what, we’d prevail.
"As beneficial as this has proved for our species, it has pitfalls, most significantly the fact that we don’t see the really bad things coming, or tend to ignore them. The last two decades have been a masterclass in the dangers of this cognitive quirk — our hubristic campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, the economic meltdown whose clear signs we collectively ignored, the surging devastation of climate change after many years of warnings were not heeded, the preventable loss of life as leaders waved away the threat of COVID.
"Now, there’s Donald Trump. With Super Tuesday powering the former president forward toward the Republican nomination and dispelling any last remaining grains of doubt about his eventual candidacy, we are again hurtling to a showdown between Joe Biden and Trump. Yet despite the rematch, this is not the same situation we had four years ago.
"We know much more about the lengths to which Trump is willing to go to secure his power and subvert the rule of law. We know about Jan. 6, about how close we came to having sitting members of Congress and the vice president violently attacked and perhaps hanged during a violent takeover of our halls of power. We know how hard Trump tried to nullify the voters’ choices, and how he’s lionized the insurrectionist shock troops of his attempted coup.
"More importantly, we know about what he’s planning if he’s ever allowed presidential power again. We do not have to speculate, because Trump has said it himself, that he would implement the “termination” of parts of the Constitution, that he would be a “dictator” on his first day in office.
"He has promised rather explicitly to utilize federal law enforcement to pursue his political enemies on spurious grounds, an approach already pioneered by his MAGA followers in Congress with sham impeachments. His closest allies have spelled out, in detail, plans to deploy the military widely across the country, for immigration enforcement and who knows what else.
"At least, we should know. Some recent polling makes clear that far too much of the country remains unaware of some of Trump’s most authoritarian impulses and comments. There is the sense that he can’t be serious, or that these are politically-motivated attacks even when they’re direct quotes from Trump and his MAGA entourage. Normalcy bias again at work, threatening to lull us into false security.
"When Trump talks about subverting our government and shaping it to his own image, we should take him at his word. Most voters are relatively casual politics observers, tuning in occasionally as elections near and developing their views on sporadic information. Between now and November, it’s imperative to put front and center the dominant political story of our lifetimes, that of Trump’s open authoritarianism.

The proffessional con man has a new tool at his deposal for 2024 , the deep flake made possible by AI . MAGA great can become MAGA unstoppable -- the United States of MAGA .
Trump supporters target black voters with faked AI images
Donald Trump supporters have been creating and sharing AI-generated fake images of black voters to encourage African Americans to vote Republican . But there's no evidence directly linking these images to Mr Trump's campaign.They created an image of Mr Trump smiling with his arms around a group of black women at a party and shared it on Facebook, where Mr Kaye has more than one million followers.At first it looks real, but on closer inspection everyone's skin is a little too shiny and there are missing fingers on people's hands - some tell-tale signs of AI-created images.
"I'm not a photojournalist," Mr Kaye tells me from his radio studio.
"I'm not out there taking pictures of what's really happening. I'm a storyteller."
Also , the new RNC (Republican National Committee) will be selected today by Donald Trump and not the Republican members . His choice for the new chairman , Michael Whatley who ran un-opposed , has already been selected .
Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, was unanimously voted in as co-chair.
The functional head of the RNC will be Chris LaCivita, who will assume the committee’s chief of staff role while maintaining his job as one of the Trump campaign’s top two advisers. With Trump’s blessing, LaCivita is promising to enact sweeping changes and staffing moves at every level of the RNC to ensure it runs seamlessly as an extension of the Trump campaign.
To note: In some ways, Trump’s GOP takeover represents a typical transition for major political parties when they shift from the primary to the general election phase of presidential elections. Candidates are typically given the keys to their national parties once they secure the presidential nomination. Biden, for example, effectively controls the Democratic National Committee.

Right, Leftau, below is a few words speaking to your Love and Affection for Trump
******************
Posted by commonsensematters on Thu, Nov 10, 2016, at 11:00 AM: "Now that Mr. Trump has elevated himself to a "pedestal," it's more important than ever to document what he says."
******************
Anybody else remember that in November of 2016 Trump trounced Hillary Clinton in a little election we held.
Above is just a small example of his affecrtion for Trump. And that before Trump had done anything except beat Hillary Clinton fair and square and after she had dreamed of being President since she was a little girl and also, it was her turn to play President.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, Mar 8, 2024, at 6:28 PM
Minor problem, Mr. VanGennip, it's not a lie.
"The expression "put on a pedestal" refers to the act of greatly admiring or idealizing someone, often to the point where they can do no wrong in the eyes of the admirer."
With Trump, it refers to the act of greatly admiring or idealizing [oneself] often to the point where they can do no wrong in [their own] eyes.
That's exactly what took place, and it ties right in with his self-aggrandizement, as in the act of excessively promoting or enhancing one’s own importance, achievements, or abilities. It often involves an inflated sense of self-worth and a desire for recognition or admiration.

In her suspension speech, Haley said Trump has to “earn” the votes of her supporters and did not endorse him.
“It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him, and I hope he does that,” she said. “At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing.”

"And our conservative cause badly needs more people."
The problem is that Trumpism has no relationship with conservativism.
For example...
Conservatives are anti-communist, Trumpists are pro Putin.
Conservatives are pro-growth and pro-American, Trumpists claim America is in decline.
Conservatives are capitalists and for free trade, Trumpists are pro-tariff.
Conservatives are for American world leadership and internalional alliances, Trumpists are isolationists and anti-treaty.
Conservatives are pro-military and recognize the quality of our military, Trumpists consider the US military weak.
Conservatives are pro-democracy, Trumpists are for autocracies.

While I have never considered Trump to be a Conservative, when it comes to the well-being of our Country there is no choice when it comes to Dead Man Walking and Trump. Inflation was under control and in spite of the harrasment and BS from the Democrat Party from day one we were in a better position security wise and certainly better off financially with Trump.
Nor do I care for Trump's mannerisms. But I learned a lot about people and their ways while in business. One of the best employees I ever hired worked for my company from the age of 18 to retirement. His personality was different than most and he could be hard to get to know. But he worked at service and then in management and if we had a customer with equipment that needed replacement, he could sell a job because people could see he knew what he was doing. No BS, just plain spoken.
Trump is Better equipped to do the job than Biden is, that has been proven in the economy handed Biden, and the job of getting government out of the way so science could develope a vaccine for Covid in record time. And no Leftau, distribution was not yet up to speed when the administrations changed, but it was begun, evidence Biden got the shot before taking office.
As I see it, should the election come down to Trump or Biden there is no choice, I will base my vote on the performance I have witnessed on 4 years of Trump and nearly 4 years of Biden come November of 2024. It is not a personality contest it is a choice on who is best qualified. Nor will I waste my vote on a 3rd party with less than 0 chance of winning.
I think many Americans are going to be in that same boat. And they are not Trumpists, they are Americans and should be respected as such.

Trump did so with stay in Mexico. Biden failed with one of his first mistakes.

In the year 2024 , they wouldn't know which restroom they were suppose to use and would be called queers .
Some Americans stress new ideas must happen , some Americans will say there ain't no way in hell. And in another election where Americans are left to decide the best of two evils , it's Party Lines. A vote for a letter of the alphbet instead of addressing how life in America is going to evolve.

Leftau, the fact is the economy Trum inherited was the slowest recovery from a recession ever. The economy was stable when the Covid Virus hit. Despite your feeble efforts of criticizing Trump's efforts to prevent panic, he did step to the plate and cleared the governmental roadblocks to allow the medical field to come up with a successful vaccine in record time. Biden promised to stop the virus, it continues to today. Not in epidemic format, due to the record breaking successful creation of the vaccine.
Blow your horn all you want Leftau, America was better off during the Trump term than it is today.

Joey Biden's Infamous Legacy:
Biden since February 2021 to January 2024 has given Americans 17% Total Inflation. Current Inflation is 3.1%
Since June 2022 High Prime Interest Rates which is 8.5% now
High Crime Rates in the Blue Democratic controlled Cities that have now resulted in the mobilization of the New York National Guard to patrol the NYC subways
More Covid Deaths during 2021 under Biden than during 2020 under Trump
Over 7.2 million New Dependent Biden Illegals in the USA since 1/21/21 some of which are criminals and potential Terrorists
Strategic Petroleum Reserves cut by 60% with a Refill costing Billions more due to the increase oil costs
A disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal which left 500 USA citizens behind along with $83 billion of usable American military equipment
Over $115 Billion given to Ukraine to protect their Boders while the USA Borders are Wide Open

Corrections to Schaefer’s fabricated “legacy.”
1. Inflation since 2021 was not “given” by Biden. It was a result of the worldwide pandemic, extensive supply chain disruptions resulting in shortages, and increase in oil prices due to decreased demand and lowered supply during the pandemic, and rapidly increasing demand with the recovery. Inflation was reduced to just over the 2% target without a recession.
2. The prime rate increases were tied to the need to successfully counter inflation are the cause of rate increases. The benchmark rate is projected to fall to about 4.6% this year,
3. The index crime rate in NYC has fallen by about 2.9% this year. The National Guard was deployed by the governor to increase safety and bring back rider levels to normal.
4. Of the Covid deaths in 2021, about 85% were to non-vaccinated people. Biden had always strongly encouraged full vaccination. The republican/conservatives had stoked groundless vaccine resistance.
5. Of the approximately 7.2 million border encounters about 50.9% were expelled or returned and 48.6% allowed to remain under US law Section 8. The Senate bipartisan immigration bill would increase border patrol funding, increase fentanyl detection, and reduce allowable entries. The House is refusing to take any action.
6. The strategic petroleum reserves were to used counter OPEC-R cost increases. The US is now producing more oil than ever before. The reserve will be replenished when prices fall.
7. The withdrawal from Afghanistan did not leave US citizens behind that wanted to leave prior to August 31st. Those staying were Afghans with dual citizenship. The US military equipment was turned over to the Afghan military at the time of the Trump surrender. The equipment under US control in HKI airport was returned or destroyed.
8. The funding for Ukraine’s defense, whatever the amount is largely coming back to the US in the form of weapons purchases here. The Ukrainians have destroyed massive amounts of Russian tanks, ships, artillery, aircraft, etc. and killed many thousands of troops. The US border is not wide open. Asylum seekers turn themselves in to the border patrol, which would not take place if the border were “wide open.”
9. President Biden has recovered and regained the world respect that was lost during the prior administration. International opinion was greatly enhanced by the strengthening of NATO.

Trump backtracks on statement that Georgia polls are rigged because now he is ‘winning by so much’

Lettau: Do you live in the USA or in some foreign country? I'm America First while you and your Senile Demented leader is America Last!
1. Reply - the Biden Inflation started when on Day One Joey shut down the Keystone pipeline construction and stopped any new Drilling permits, thus making War on the American Energy Industries. Since Oil is the key to industry, retail/wholesale prices went up immediately just like the oil prices did!
2. Reply - The Prime Interest rates would not have been needed if Biden hadn't caused the Inflation to begin with! This increase financing charges along with the Inflation is hurting All Americans!
3. Reply - Serious crime went up while lesser crimes went down, which doctored the percentage. Pitiful when the National Guard has to be deployed to provide safety for its Citizens!
4. Reply - There was a 100% of non-vaccinations during 2020 and only when Operation Warp Speed started issuing the Covid shots in December 2020 were their any vaccinations available....you should thank Pres. Trump and his team!
5. Reply - I'll take the US Border Patrol's word and numbers over your numbers anytime. How much is the yearly cost of Joey's Open Southern Border costing American Taxpayers - Multi-Billions! Also, the increased crimes and drug deaths of Americans come into the mix of Biden's failure at the border!
6. Reply - LOL, the deletion of 60% of the USA Reseves netted a decrease of 5 cents per gallon for 2 weeks - big deal at a cost of Billions to fill it up again. What would happen if there was a sudden need of the oil reserves....can you say screwed!
7. Reply - No need to try to rewrite history with your misinformation, the facts remain as I listed! BTW, you keep saying Trump's surrender, wasn't Joey Biden the President at that time. The Afghanistan Withdrawal Disaster was on his watch and hands!
8. Reply - Who is paying for the purchases of the Military equipment that the USA Military has to replace due to Biden's War - the USA Taxpayers! Does The Big Guy get his cut of 10% of these purchases. You do know that the Ukraine President is as Corrupt as Biden is!
9. Reply - Our Mumbling Stumbling Old Senile Demented Resident of the White House Nursing Home Joey Biden has shown to the whole World what a Clown that he is. BTW, if Trump hadn't made the NATO countries come current with their payments NATO would be in a far less state of readiness!
So to recap, Biden and the Democrats have America Last in their policies while Donald Trump and the Republicans have America First in their policies!
May the God of the Bible Protect and Save the USA from our Enemies and from Joey Biden and his DEI Administration!

More corrections…
1. You’re referring to a worldwide inflation started at the end of the Trump administration. Shutting down the Keystone pipeline construction had zero impact on oil production. Oil industry retail/wholesale prices are controlled by OPEC-R and the oil companies. US oil production reached a record 13.1 million barrels per day and will increase in 2025.
2. Biden didn't caused the Inflation to begin with and it continues to go down.
3. Crime went down and will continue to do so.
4. Covid shots came out in December 2020. Thanks go the government/ medical industry team and to Pres. Trump for not interfering.
5. Read Section 8 of the immigration law, and urge the House to pass the Senate compromise.
6. Oil reserves can be replenished as US production is predicted to reach 13.5 million gallons per day in 2025. 26.3 million gallons have already been pruchased.
7. Trump's surrender occurred in May of 2020, the President at that time was Trump.
8. There is no such thing as “Biden's War.”
9. NATO countries were all come current with their payments. Individual nations are working toward reaching or exceeding the 2% target by the end or 2024. NATO is far stronger now than it has ever been.
So consider the facts, Biden and the Democrats have always had America and the American people first. Donald Trump puts Donald Trump first in all cases.

With respect to Afghanistan, Trump was responsible for the "surrender" and for abandoning the legitimate Afghan government.
Biden took full responsibility for the chaotic first day, and also for the successful evacuation of about 125,000 Americans and allies.

And your entire little tirade on the issue is as I explained before. Try to paint Trump as black on any and everything and try painting Dead Man Walking as Lily White on anything and everything he does.
I do not see Trump's Deal as possibly the best deal since sliced bread, but if Bidedn did not have the mentality to properly carry it out, he should have reworked it.

Historian says Trump administration's deal with the Taliban created a "roadmap toward a surrender"
(Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)
"Robert Crews, a historian at Stanford University specializing in Afghanistan and central Asia, said he believes the Trump administration's deal with the Taliban last year played a role in the group's takeover of the country.
"The agreement struck last year laid out a 14-month timetable for the withdrawal of "all military forces of the United States, its allies and coalition partners." The US agreed to withdraw troops and release some 5,000 Taliban prisoners, while the Taliban agreed to take steps to prevent any group or individual, including al Qaeda, from using Afghanistan to threaten the security of the US or its allies.
Crews told CNN's John Vause that the accord "legitimized the Taliban" and gave them a "road map" to conduct their offensive and oust the democratically elected government.
Crews said the question going forward is can the Taliban establish their so-called "Islamic emirate" in a society that has dramatically changed in the two decades since they were last in charge.
"There is potential for Afghan society to push back against the Taliban once this initial shock is over, and once the Taliban figure out how they will attempt to implement in the 1990s," Crews said. "The Biden administration has painted us all, Afghans in particular, into a corner, where they have no good choices, and they find themselves at the mercy of this movement over which no one except Pakistan has substantive leverage over now."
One added fact is that Trump is the one that caused Biden to be "painted into a corner" by his unilateral reductions in troop strength, while all along excluding the legitimate Afghan government from the negotiations.

"Historian says Trump administration's deal with the Taliban created a "roadmap toward a surrender""
An unnamed historian as a source is unacceptable.
Or is the Historian Robert Crews.
Doesn't alter the fact that Historians deal with writing history not predcting the future.
And Biden was not painted into a corner he was elected President, albeit foolishly, and it was his job to change what he saw as wrong, not create a CF. Which he did, take credit for it or not.
It was not Trump's fault that Dead Man Walking screwed it up. And you aren't salesman enough to peddle that BS Leftau.

Not selling a thing, just presenting facts.
But you know too little about the sequence of events to form a rational argument.

Why did Trump exclude the legitimate Afghan government from negotiations?

Looks like Trump was dealing with the right people. The Afghan President fled and that Afghan army Biden claimed would defeat the Taliban folded like a cheap suit. Biden was warned by his own military leadership not to withdraw per his plan but he went ahead anyway then blamed Trump.

Joe Biden was not bound by any Law to follow any action or plan designed or promised by Donald J. Trump . Joe Biden had every opportunity to change to his own course of actions -- and those were an optic nightmare disgrace to the American People . . Donald Trump is not responsible for Joe Biden's action , Joe Biden is not responsible for Donald Trump's actions .
It was indeed Donald Trump who surrendered to the Foreign terrorrist who attacked the homeland US of A...what's done is done , history is history . Actions do have consequences , just another reason 2020 was not "stolen" nor "fraud , rigged , and illegal" ..many different actions do have consequences .
-- Posted by Diseased*Turtle on Wed, Mar 13, 2024, at 5:48 PM
For what possible reason would Trump deal solely with the taliban, a 7th century Afghan domestic terrorist group, which you consider to be the "right people."
There was no rational reason for him to have done that, but because he did, the Afghan government and military was basically abandoned. During Trump's last year he unilaterally reduced troop from about 14,000 to about 2500. He had desired to reduce troop strength to zero by Jauuary 15, 2021.
The military stopped that, and they objected all along to Trump's unilateral strength reductions.

What's the 15 word version of the Article?
One comment, the taliban did not attack America, Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda did.
The problem was the taliban refused to turn him over to us, so we went to Afghanistan to get him. The taliban kept protecting him which is why the war kept on.

He wouldn't know a fact if it bit him in the a s.
Just like his Trump "surrender" BS. That is nothing more than a Democrat talking point trying to draw the heat off Biden and his Effup. The leaving of people behind after he pulled the military and having to send private carrier planes in to help get them out. If Trump had made the same mess of it that Dead Man Walking did you would never hear the end of it from the Little Man.
We will never know, but it is my feeling if Trump had remained in office the withdrawal would have been done properly. Biden with his throwing EO's around failed everything Trump had succeeded at, why would you expect the Afghanistan withdrawal to be any different. Trump protected the American Border with his legal stay in Mexico order. Biden screwed that up the first day in office trying to undo what Trump did. Now we pay for about 8 million illegals running around in this country.

The al-Qaeda nomad tribe roams the Afghanistan mountains and country side . America funded and armed al-Qaeda during the un-successful Russia War with Afghanistan before 9/11 . Their Leader was Osama bin Laden when 9/11 happened so America went after him and the al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
al-Qaeda nor the Afghanistan Government were in the surrender meetings with Trump , just the Taliban . Part of the surrender was Taliban promised the al-Qaeda would not attack America again , the Taliban would control the al-Qaeda. Trump would start pulling US of A soldiers out of Afghanistan , which he did . As part of the United States–Taliban deal, the Trump administration agreed to an initial reduction of US forces from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, followed by a complete withdrawal by 1 May 2021 . At the start of the Biden administration, there were 2,500 US soldiers remaining in Afghanistan and, in April 2021, Biden said the US would not begin withdrawing these soldiers before 1 May, but would complete the withdrawal symbolically by 11 September . It was up to Biden to stop pulling soldiers or not , Biden decided to keep pulling soldiers , the World got to watch his fumble muck .
Either way , Trump and the Taliban made the agreement , America would withdrawl all troops and the Taliban would keep control of the al-Qaeda nomad tribe which was next to impossible ...the al-Qaeda nomad tribe still exists to this day as it wishes.
Trump and all of the NATO Allies pulled their troops and armory out of Afghanistan and the region , the Taliban and al-Qaeda took control of Afghanistan . A person would think one of the first things America would pull is it's high tech armory instead of leaving it for the last .
A surrender by Trump to the very Foreign State terrorist who attacked America on 9/11 .

Notes/Tweets from 4 years ago as Trump was
March 12-- "But it'll be -- it'll go away very quickly." [Donald Trump, March 12.]
March 12-- "You know, you see what's going on. And so I just wanted that to stop as it pertains to the United States. And that's what we've done. We've stopped it." [Donald Trump, March 12.]
March 12-- "Let's put it this way, I'm not concerned, OK?" [Donald Trump, March 12.]
March 13 – “I am officially declaring a national emergency." A national emergency. Those are two very big words.” [Donald Trump, March 13.]
March 14 – “As of this moment we have 50 deaths, which is — a lot of good decisions were made, or that number could be many times that. But that’s based on a lot of good decisions, one or two in particular.”
That grew to this...
58,343 Americans were now dead. In only four months.
In fact, the number of U.S. deaths was not only the highest on the planet, the number of U.S. deaths now is one-third of all of the deaths on the planet. Even after only four months. Thanks to Donald Trump’s complete lack of response.
Think about that.
That grew to 1.2 million.

Mr. Braswell,
You're welcome to stop "wondering." You've also clearly "wondered" about the wrong question.
What's the answer to the question, "...who would have done any better than [Trump] himself handling covid..."
It's almost anyone with a normal IQ.
Before arguing, tell us why the United States, with about 4.5% of the world's population, had between 20 and 25% of the world's cases and deaths. This is even more perplexing given the high quality of our medical science and facilities.
Equally astonishing is that in 2021, approximately 80% of covid deaths were to unvaccinated Americans. The administration made vaccines available to all of our citizens, and strongly urged them take the shots.
Really strange...
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 14, 2024, at 5:56 PM
Since about 230 million Americans were safely vaccinated, why would these "anti-vaccers" risk death for some inexplicable, unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Mar 14, 2024, at 6:09 PM
Leftau, whatever you want to try and make of it, there were less deaths attributed to Trump with no vaccine than there were deaths attributed to Dead Man Walking with the vaccine. Each President has equal responsibility with legitimate reason. 100% of the deaths with Trump were from people who never took a shot.
And neither had a damned thing to do with thee Afghanistan failure of Dead Man Walking that we were discussing.

Pence says he won’t endorse Trump in 2024 race
“The American people must know that leaders in the Republican Party will keep our oath to support and defend the Constitution, even when it is not in our political interests .The American people deserve to know on that fateful day, President Trump also demanded I choose between him and our Constitution . One last word that in part brings us here today: I believe that anyone who puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States, and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be president of the United States again.”

"The revenge is going to be success… We’re going to turn our country around. We’re going to bring sense and – common sense. You know, people say, 'You’re conservative.' I’m not conservative.

Conservatives blow up Trump world's 'misguided' defense of 'bloodbath' comment
"Donald Trump on Saturday claimed that there would be a "bloodbath" if he isn't elected president, and fans of the former president were quick to argue the comment should be ignored because he was referencing the auto industry at the time. But some conservatives are pushing back against that notion.
"See...Trump didn't say 'It's going to be a bloodbath for the auto industry' and then the media cut off the words 'auto industry,'" he explained Sunday in reference to a post with a manufactured Trump quote. "He said: 'Now If don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole...That's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole country.' It's fine to say Trump was talking about auto industry, but don't change his quotes to make them more for favorable."

From Newsweek:
In March 2020, as the contest was narrowing around the former vice president and the progressive Democrat, Biden warned against the primary campaign becoming an internal "bloodbath" between Democrats which could have weakened the party and allowed Trump to win.
"What we can't let happen is let this primary become a negative bloodbath," Biden told a crowd of Democratic donors gathered in Bethesda, Maryland, as reported by POLITICO
I’m really surprised that Mr Lettau couldn’t recall this from his party leader. But then again……

Thanks for the information. Based on the context and quotes, my opinion is the candidate Biden was referring to a figurative, internal "bloodbath" based on differences within the democratic party.
In my opinion, Trump, on the other hand uses the term literally inciting and expecting his cult members to take violently to the streets to avenge his loss. Sounds much like a Jaunary 6th insurrection 2.0.
I'd predict that Trump's hoped for "bloodbath" after losing again, will not happen. It's clear that his supporters are nowhere near as "cra zee" as he is.

The Trump 2000 mile, "vanity wall" to be paid for by Mexico was a gross mistake back then and still is.
There may well be areas where more secure fencing is practical, but the main border security needs are more border patrol agents, better electronic security to detect drug smuggling at legal crossings, and revisions to immigration law.
That's what the Senate conservative led bill provides. Trump wants an issue, not a solution.

Judge clears way for Trump to appeal ruling keeping Fani Willis on Georgia 2020 election case
🔸But the judge also rebuked Willis for her “tremendous” lapse in judgment and questioned the truthfulness of Wade’s and her testimony about the timing of their relationship. While the judge did not find the relationship created a conflict of interest that should force Willis off the case, he said an “appearance of impropriety” infected the prosecution team.
Attorneys for Trump and the other defendants said in court papers on Monday that Wade’s resignation was not enough to correct that. Defense lawyers say a failure to remove Willis could imperil any convictions and force a retrial if an appeals court later finds it was warranted.

Pence makes ‘damning statement’ with refusal to back Trump
Ex-Trump administration officials turned critics emphasized the historic significance of a former vice president opting not to back a former running mate, arguing it serves as a dire warning to voters about Trump’s fitness for office. Former national security adviser John Bolton has been outspoken about his concerns regarding a potential second Trump term, as has former Trump chief of staff John Kelly. Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper has also said he would not support Trump in 2024.
Trump was asked about Pence’s comments while voting in Florida’s primary Tuesday.
“I couldn’t care less,” he told reporters. “We need strong people in this country. We don’t need weak people.”
“The conservative movement is coming to a crossroads . I intend to go forward fighting for the foundational conservative principles our movement has always extolled.”

Trump did more then write 1 EO on the Texas border making immigrants stay outside of America . He also made 3 other countries asylum seeker countries to give immigrants other options besides America for asylum , Biden took this option away. I could be mixfused but I believe ICE had more involvement over the Darrien Pass then they do today which was eliminated by Biden too .
Gov.Abbott should have sent those buses south and not north . Biden letting everyone in is totally wrong , voluntarily expediting them across the Great Lands is just as wrong. Unknown People unknown where .

Joey Biden has allowed over 7.2 million New Dependent Biden Illegals into the USA causing Billions of Taxpayers Dollars to be used for them and not Americans!
The purpose of this Open Southern Border according to some reports is to add to the population of States that are favorable to the Democratic Party at the time of the Census of 2030 which counts everyone - Illegals as well as Citizens. This will IMO give the Democrats the Electoral advantage to Democrats thus ensuring year after year in power!

First of all, it wasn't President Biden that surrendered. Second, we had about 8500 troops in country in August of 2020, which is about the same number we ended up needing a year later.
I'm sure that if asked, the Generals would have strongly supported maintaining that troop level. It was Trump that unilaterally reduced troop strength.

First of all Little Man, I made no Fabricated claim. I stated an educated opinion and I am sticking with it based on what I have read. Don't like it TS, who cares. So far as Conservatives neither Cheney or Romey interest me. And I did not renounce either. You wouldn't know a True Conservative if one bit you in the ***. And whatever their difference with Trump is that is their problem. And I have never claimed Trump to be a Conservative, I have merely stated that he was a better administrator that Dead Man Walking has ever dreamed of being. That is a fact in my mind. I have stated I did not favor either of the two that appear to be the nominees for 2024. I will place my mark by the one that was the better of the two as each have had 4 years or the better part of it. My money was worth a lot more under Trump than Dead Man Walking.
And you determining who a true Comservative is a laugh. I grew up with two Conservative Grandfathers. One a Democrat and the other a Republican. And I assure you the Demcrat Grandfatber was far more Consevative than most Republicans of this day. He would roll over in his grave if he could see what has become of the Democratic Party.
Trump was the only choice to vote for in 2016. Hillary Clinton was and is a joke. So far as 2000. It will be a cold day in hell before I ever vote for anyone who has never done anything in his working life except be a damned politician. I don't care or have a great deal or respect for politicians,

I agree all day that countries sending their excess citizens to the US of A are already receiving some sort of aid from the US of A....and there should be some way to make these countries feel America's pain from the swarm of their People on America -- it's an attack on the American People .
No more money is always an attention getter. Take back the Panama Canal that Jimmy Carter gave away , make it for shipping crossing only and not millions of People...and Mexico with it's nice little warning now , "would not "under any circumstances" accept the return of any migrants to its territory from the state of Texas." ..the first thing would be is to anwser , "What ? I just know you ain't talking to me like that ". And put Mexico on alert , only tell them once , "The Cartels are a terrorist organization threatening America and will be addressed as such if Mexico continues to allow over 6 million People to walk across it's country into America." If the surge of immigrants does not come to almost a completely stop , the Cartels will be taken out as a terrorist organization threatening America. (The Cartels will be anyway as soon as a President with some stones is elected.)

Trump needs a half billion dollars, and fast
One option that Trump might be forced to consider is bankruptcy — a route he has used several times in his flamboyant and checkered business career and that may allow him to dispose of assets in an organized way. But Collins reported this week that he has privately expressed opposition to that path, and it remains the least likely way out for now.
Ultimately, the stigma of enduring such a process so close to a general election might be too much for the ex-president to bear. And it would add to concerns that the former president isn’t fit for a return to the Oval Office.
Whatever the resolution, the multiple dramas again strike at the question at the heart of this election: Do Americans really want four more years of the mayhem, scandal and challenges to the law that rage around the former president week after week?

Since June 2022 High 30 Year Fixed Mortgage Rate which is 7.587% now
High Crime Rates in the Blue Democratic controlled Cities that have now resulted in the mobilization of the New York National Guard to patrol the NYC subways
More Covid Deaths during 2021 under Biden than during 2020 under Trump
Over 7.2 million New Dependent Biden Illegals in the USA since 1/21/21 some of which are criminals and potential Terrorists
Strategic Petroleum Reserves cut by 60% with a Refill costing Billions more due to the increase oil prices
A disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal which left 500 USA citizens behind along with $83 billion of usable American military equipment
Over $115 Billion given to Ukraine to protect their Boders while the USA Borders are Wide Open
Joey Biden with his Mumbling and Stumbling in front of the World Stage that allows all to see him as the World's Clown!!

Note: During McDaniel's tenure as chair of the RNC, from 2017 until her resignation in 2024 , the Republican Party had a net loss of eight governorships, four seats in the United States Senate, and 20 seats in the House of Representatives, and the presidency. In December 2022, Axios wrote that McDaniel "has thus far failed to preside over a single positive election cycle."

The Eighth Amendment: What It Is and Violation Examples ...
Gamble (1976), in which an inmate in a Texas prison was denied medical treatment for a severe medical condition. The Supreme Court ruled that the inmate's Eighth Amendment rights had been violated, saying that ignoring a prisoner's serious medical needs on purpose is causing them pain without a good reason.Apr 11, 2023
The protections offered by the 8th Amendment are still very relevant and important today. For example, overcrowded prisons often lead to unsafe and unsanitary conditions for prisoners. The 8th Amendment thus safeguards prisoners from violations of basic standards of living.

Whew ...Truth Social goes Public on the markets today , listed on Nasdaq . Trump doesn't know the Nasdaq and NYSE are both located in New York Just sayin'..
............
Former President Donald Trump told a story on Monday in which he claimed that he decided not to list the Trump Media & Technology Group on the New York Stock Exchange, even though the exchange “badly” wanted the company, because businesspeople are “treated too badly in New York” and “don’t want to be attacked by a thug like this horrible attorney general that we have in New York.”
There is one problem. The story does not make any sense.
Facts First: The stock exchange on which the Trump Media & Technology Group is being listed, the Nasdaq, is also headquartered in New York. In fact, the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are located in the same New York City borough of Manhattan. In other words, all of the New York laws and political oversight that would have applied to the company if it was listed on the NYSE will apply to the company when it is listed on the Nasdaq.

'A lifelong crook': Columnist takes a hatchet to GOP claims of Trump victimization
Story by Brad Reed
New York Magazine columnist Jonathan Chait is taking a hatchet to claims by many Republicans that former President Donald Trump is a victim of "lawfare" by Democratic attorneys.
Chait starts out his new column by bringing some receipts of things that many conservatives -- including Sen. Ted Cruz and the editorial boards of the National Review and the Wall Street Journal -- said about Trump before he became the GOP's presidential nominee in 2016.
In short, Chait finds that concerns about Trump's criminality have been shared in conservative circles for years and they only stopped talking about them once it became clear that he would be their only chance to deny Hillary Clinton the presidency.
"Before he won the Republican nomination the first time, Republicans were perfectly aware that his decades of bilking customers and counterparties, lying to everybody, and surrounding himself with known criminals posed a series legal risk," he said. "Now that that risk has gone from theoretical to actual, and it is being shared by the Republican Party, they seem to believe it’s not fair to hold him legally accountable."
Chait also said that the fact that the GOP is still all-in on defending Trump shows a remarkable level of depravity within one of America's two major political parties.
"What’s unusual about Trump is not that a politician got into legal trouble, or even that a professional scammer went into politics, but that a political party allowed a crook to rise to its top," he said. "That, in turn, reveals the deeply unhealthy state of the GOP, not any extralegal steps being taken by his opponents."
Chait concludes his piece by mocking Republicans for thinking that Democrats are engaged in a conspiracy to indict a man whom Republicans themselves have admitted has flouted the law for decades.
"But no plot was necessary here," he writes. "The law finally catching up to a lifelong crook is utterly predictable."

Leftau, I have no problem with facts, but the article, designed to sell newspapers is not necessarily facts. When it comes to charges against anyone made by their enemies for whatever reason, I will wait for the judgement as issued by a jury of the accused's peers.
Is Trump guilty of some of those charges? Possibly.
Is he guilty of all of them? Highly unlikely.
One thing is a certainty Leftau, with your hatred of Trump, it is obvious that you would jump on something like this like a starving dog on a bone.
Quite amusing actually.
But I will add this to give you someething else to chew on...
When it comes to the point of having to make a choice of the best of the worst when it comes to who should be the next President, Dead Man Walking looses my vote. And chances are with where you have chosen to make your abode, when the final talley is made at the Electoral College level, your vote will be right in there for Trump.

I tend to look at it more then money . So much more to living in America besides money . 7 billion People on earth , only 300 million lucky enough to be in America , it's more then a miracle . People who live in America are the wealthiest People on earth , the chances are astronomical .
There were a whole lot of bad stuff going on during Trump's term just the same as there are now . Everything wasn't about the $ sign at the store but the $ sign was still there like over $7 trillion in Federal spending . That with a huge revenue cut -- it does no good to cut revenue and continue spending . He surrendered to the very terrorist who attacked the homelands..the list goes on .

Sadow said a sitting president expressing concerns about an election is "the height of political speech" and that is protected even if what was said ended up being false.
Prosecutor Donald Wakeford countered that Trump's statements are not protected by the First Amendment because they were integral to criminal activity.
"It's not just that they were false. It's not that the defendant has been hauled into a courtroom because the prosecution doesn't like what he said," Wakeford said, adding that Trump is free to express his opinion and make legitimate protests. "What he is not allowed to do is to employ his speech and his expression and his statements as part of a criminal conspiracy to violate Georgia's RICO statute, to impersonate public officers, to file false documents, to make false statements to the government."

"Trump to attend the wake for a slain police officer."
Right! There he proclaimed the need for "law and order."
And that from the person that's been indicted 4 times on about 90 felonies, and who promises to pardon convicted "insurrectionists" that viciously attacked the police defending the US Capital.

In Mr. VanGennip’s opinion:
“…Trump was a much better manager…”
“…as an Administrator he is way above…” President Biden.

So that’s his opinion.
It would definitely be educational to see what people who actually worked for Trump (as opposed to those who simply swallow his lies) say about his “managerial” and “administrative” qualities and lack of "talent."

“Only four out of dozens of former Trump cabinet members say he should be re-elected in 2024.
NBC News contacted 44 of those who served in then-President Donald Trump’s cabinet between 2017 and 2021. While many declined to comment or didn’t answer, only four have publicly endorsed Mr Trump for the office he once held.
Several of them have been trying to remain as neutral as possible as the Republican primary plays out. There are those who oppose Mr. Trump’s return to the presidency. Former Attorney General Bill Barr told NBC, “I have made clear that I strongly oppose Trump for the nomination and will not endorse Trump”.

But I am a realist and from the status of the Country with the fact that the candidates are a given I choose the one who has the best record economy wise

I certainly am surprised Mr Lettau would laud that “star studded” fundraiser for 3 staunch anti illegal immigration people but then again it was just a “conversation” moderated by a comedian and that’s a loose term. As long as the “conversation” was centered on Trump hate Mr Lettau had to love it.

"...in terms of reality..."
This is reality. Not sure where you find your information...
All the ex-Trump officials who refuse to endorse him in 2024
Mike Pence, Donald Trump’s estranged former vice president, has definitively vowed that he will not be endorsing his old boss for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
Mr. Trump is now the nominee-presumptive after passing the delegate threshold on 12 March – one week after his last remaining rival, Nikki Haley, bowed out of the race in the aftermath of Super Tuesday.
But, despite Mr. Trump’s securing of the Republican nomination, Mr Pence – who also briefly took on the former president in the Republican primary race – told Fox News host Martha MacCallum on 15 March that he does not have his support.
“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” he said.
“But that being said, during my presidential campaign, I made it clear that there were profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues, and not just our difference on my constitutional duties that I exercised on January 6.”
The two men are apparently irreconcilable in the wake of the events of 6 January 2021, when a mob of MAGA supporters stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the formal certification of the election results.
Mr. Pence was presiding over the ceremony in Congress at the time and had refused Mr. Trump’s calls to overturn the election in his favour – something that he did not have the power to do anyway.
His refusal to comply – and Mr. Trump’s efforts to blame his second-in-command for his failure to seize power –notoriously inspired some members of the crowd to chant “Hang Mike Pence!” and to erect a gallows on Capitol Hill, as the vice president, his family and fellow lawmakers were spirited away to safety in fear for their lives.
Now, Mr. Pence’s announcement that he won’t back his former boss this time round sees the former vice president joining an ever-growing list of ex-Trump administration officials who are now refusing to back his latest White House bid – many of them going so far as to say they no longer believe him to be fit for office.
Here’s a look at the other former Trump officials who are refusing to endorse him in 2024:
Bill Barr
Mr. Trump’s hand-picked former attorney general, who once shielded him from the Mueller report, has been openly critical of the 45th president in recent months.
Mr. Barr resigned his post shortly after the Justice Department found no evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, contradicting Mr. Trump’s baseless narrative that the presidency was stolen from him by a vast, nationwide conspiracy orchestrated to President Joe Biden’s advantage.
Speaking on Fox News in December, Mr. Barr said: “One of the reasons I’m against Trump as the nominee is I don’t think he’s going to move the country forward.”
When NBC News asked him in July how he would vote if it came down to a Biden-Trump match-up, Mr. Barr answered wryly: “I’ll jump off that bridge when I get to it.”
That same month, he also told CBS’s Face the Nation that Mr. Trump is like “a defiant nine-year-old kid who’s always pushing his glass towards the end of the table, defying his parents to stop him from doing it”.
John Bolton
The former national security adviser who left the administration acrimoniously in September 2019 has said that he will not vote for Mr. Trump in this year’s election. Instead, he said he will do the same thing that he did in 2020 – write in the name of an alternative conservative candidate of his own choosing.
Speaking to CNN in July, Mr. Bolton said: “I always like to vote for a conservative Republican. Between Biden and Trump, there was no conservative on the ballot. So I wrote in the name of a conservative, and I would do the same in 2024.”
He added: “I think in private, honest conversations, almost all of Trump’s cabinet members and other senior advisers would agree that Trump is not fit to be president.”
HR McMaster
An earlier national security adviser, General McMaster said on CNN’s State of the Union as early as 17 January 2021, less than two weeks after the Capitol riot, that it would “terribly divisive for our country for him to run again.”
It’s certainly working out that way.
Mark Esper
Asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper last June whether Mr Trump could ever be trusted with national security secrets again, his former defence secretary Mark Esper answered: “No!”
He added that the former president’s “irresponsible actions” in storing boxes of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida had placed servicemembers and the country at risk.
Jim Mattis
Another former Trump administration defense secretary, General Mattis is also unlikely to support him again after he stepped down over his position on Syria in December 2018 and denounced Mr. Trump as a threat to the Constitution – angered by his authoritarian response to the Black Lives Matter protests that erupted in summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd.
“We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution,” Mad Dog thundered.
“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people – does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us.”
General Mattis has since accused Mr Trump of fomenting the attempted insurrection at the US Capitol.
John F Kelly
Similiarly, the former chief of staff who once believed he could rein in Mr Trump’s excesses now says his former boss has “no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about”.
In the same ferocious denunciation of the Republican submitted to CNN last September, General Kelly added that the ex-president was “a person with nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law”. He added, with evident exasperation: “God help us.”
He has since spoken out angrily about Mr Trump’s repeated professions of admiration for dictators like Adolf Hitler, recounting an incident in which he had to tell him: “Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing.”
Mark Milley
In a scorching farewell address to troops at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia, last September, the former chair of the joint chiefs of staff told his audience: “We don’t take an oath to a king, or queen, or tyrant or a dictator, and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator.”
There was little room for doubt as to whom he was referring.
Dan Coats
The former director of national intelligence left Mr. Trump’s administration in 2019 and pointedly backed Mr. Pence in the Republican primary race.
Mick Mulvaney
Another former Trump chief of staff, Mr. Mulvaney previously said that he believes Mr. Trump will win the primaries but lose the general election. He’s right so far.
“I am working hard to make sure that someone else is the nominee,” Mr. Mulvaney told NBC in July.
“I think he’s the Republican who is most likely to lose in a general election, of all our leading candidates. If anyone can lose to Joe Biden, it would be him.”
Prior to that, he told CBS in July 2022 that he had quit his post because Mr Trump “failed at being the president when we needed him to be that”.
Karen Pence
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the former second lady has joined her husband in rejecting Mr Trump after he callously placed their lives in mortal danger rather than face up to his defeat at the ballot box – some thanks for their four years of dogged loyalty.
Marc Short
Equally unsurprisingly, Mr Pence’s former chief of staff is not backing Mr Trump either and loyally supported his former boss’s short-lived presidential campaign last autumn before it ran out of road.
Nikki Haley
The former South Carolina governor, who fought on bravely as Mr Trump’s principle rival in the primaries, at least up until 6 March, previously served as his US ambassador to the United Nations.
When she finally announced her inevitable exit from the race earlier this month, she was gracious towards Mr. Trump but stopped short of endorsing him.
“I congratulate him and wish him well. I wish anyone well who would be America’s president,” she said.
“Our country is too precious to let our differences divide us.”
Anthony Scaramucci
The short-lived but unforgettable ex-White House communications director, who served just 10 days in the post before being fired, has said that he will be backing Mr Biden in November’s 2020 rematch.
He actually went further than that, adding: “I will do everything I can to make sure that the president stays in office.”
Mr Scaramucci warned that a belated second Trump term would see him attempt to expand his executive power to the limit and spend his time pursuing vendettas and “going after his adversaries using the Department of Justice”.
Alyssa Farah Griffin
One of The Mooch’s predecessors, Alyssa Farah Griffin has likewise made it clear that she cannot countenance a second Trump term.
She told ABC in December: “Fundamentally, a second Trump term could mean the end of American democracy as we know it, and I don’t say that lightly.”
Elaborating during an appearance on The View, Ms. Griffin was no less emphatic: “Donald Trump in office could spell, frankly, the last election in our lifetime.”
She subsequently threw her support behind Ms. Haley before she suspended her campaign.
Stephanie Grisham
White House press secretary from July 2019 to April 2020, Stephanie Grisham told CNN’s Newsroom earlier this year: “He used to tell me when I was press secretary, ‘Go out there and say this.’ And if it was false, he would say, ‘It doesn’t matter, Stephanie. Just say it over and over and over again, people will believe it.’
“He knows his base believes in him. He knows he can basically say anything and his base will believe what he’s saying.”
She said that while this approach might “help propel him into the general [election]” it would not succeed with more moderate Republicans and independents voters.
“They’re much much smarter than that, and so I think that that he’s gonna get in trouble in the general with these kinds of lies.”
Sarah Matthews
The former White House deputy press secretary, who resigned in response to the Capitol riot, sat down with ABC in December to discuss the risk of a second Trump presidency.
Ms. Matthews stressed that her former boss has not backed down on his 2020 election fraud claims and said that she believes his rhetoric since has become “increasingly erratic.”
“We don’t need to speculate what a second Trump term would like because we already saw it play out,” she said.
While she characterized a Biden-Trump rematch as a “lose-lose scenario” for her, Ms. Matthews indicated that she will be backing the current president.
“I’ve never voted for a Democrat in my life, but I think that in this next election, I would put policy aside and choose democracy,” she said.
Cassidy Hutchinson
The former aide to Mark Meadows, yet another Trump chief of staff, Cassidy Hutchinson stayed in her role until the end of his presidency. She later bravely provided bombshell testimony to the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot about the former president’s behaviour while the insurrection was underway.
The insider-turned-whistleblower told ABC News in December that this year’s vote “is a fundamental election to continue to safeguard our institutions and our constitutional republic”.
Cautioning against another Trump win, she said: “If Donald Trump is elected president again in 2024, I do fear that it will be the last election where we’re voting for democracy because if he is elected again, I don’t think we’ll be voting under the same Constitution.”
She explicitly said she would not be voting for Mr. Trump this time around but declined to say who she would support.
However, she did encourage “everybody” to vote for Mr. Biden “if they want our democracy to survive.”

Leftau, been thinking about this statement of yours and I daresay you would vote Democrat no matter who was running.
Further had Trump not left the Democratic Party and was running as a Democrat today you would be voting for him.
If the ballot is what I think it will be, I will be voting against Dead Man Walking because this country is in a mess today because he and his string puller Obama are not good for America. And the Border Farce needs to be shut down. It was opened politically to create a future Democrat Voting Bloc. Already Dead Man Walking is wanting to give our Green cards to Illegals. As directed by Obama no doubt.

How’s that New York bail reform working out? Not too good in the view of the family of the slain police officer murdered by a career felon yet again out on the streets. Gov Hochul thought it would be a nice gesture to attend the wake until the family asked her to leave amid the boos from attendees. Meanwhile Trump teamed up with a privately run association with a generous donation to pay off the slain officers mortgage while ol Joe and his buds yucked it up across town. Good thing he didn’t show up. Of course he still thinks FJB is some sort of cheer for him.

"Further had Trump not left the Democratic Party and was running as a Democrat today you would be voting for him."
That's absurd on so many levels...
As a democrat, Trump would be just as incompetent and crooked as he is as a republican.
The democratic party wouldn't have him as a candidate, so that's the most likely reason he switched.
In 2016 republicans accepted his candidacy, for whatever unknown reason.
I've voted for republicans and democrats, never having belonged to any party, I vote for the person, and Trump is a person I'd never vote for.
If others want to stick with and be one of the Trump sycophants, that's up to you and them.

Again, Mr. VanGennip pontificates with zero evidence, claiming this...
"Trump's Competence was and is light years ahead of [Biden's] competence."
Here's the difference, Mr. VanGennip dismisses evidence simply because it's inconsistent with his preconceived notions and opinions.
Given a series of statements from 18 high level Trump administration officials, for the most part long time republicans, from the VP, cabinet members and staff, that denounce Trump as being unfit to hold office again.
These are all people that worked for Trump, saw his incompetence up close, have no partisan political agenda, and clearly do not want him in the White House again.
I'd predict that Mr. VanGennip will brush aside these factual arguments and tout Trump's "administrative brilliance."

Being a free American I will make my own assessments of the situation, I know what Biden is and I know what Trump is and as I have said now the fourth or fifth time I don't think either should be on the ballot. Dead Man Walking because he is definitely not qualified with his mental condition to be running the busines of the United States of America, Trump because it will be another 4 year CF of the Democratic Party wasting time and resources trying to remove him from office at which they failed miserably the last time. And with all of the interference Trump still did a much better jb of managing the economy and country than Dead Man Walking has.

Double down to your hearts content. I know exactly what I base my opinions on and it's completely independent of any hatred.
You had a clear opportunity to learn what former Trump adherents believe now with respect to his unfitness for the presidency. Do you believe that all of them "hate Trump" or just feel sorry for him due to his incompetence?
That's what I base my opinions on. What do you base your "Trump love" on?

DAI ignored the word, all I knew was it had to be insulting if he tried to apply it to Trump.
I remember a little simpler life when you described people. They used terms like Nickle Britches, All Flash and No Cash, Selling From an Empty Wagon, Empty Pockets. Just a couple, there were more that I cannot recall at the momement. Don't believe we ever used Sycophant though.
I agree with you however Sycophant really fits the Bollinger County Sage (Brush) to a "T".
And I like you Leftau, we on the other side know what we base our opinions on as well as you do. The fact that we do not agree with you, does not make our opinions invalid.

Looks like the cockroaches are right. Biden declares Easter the “Transgender Day Of Visibility”.
You should be so proud,Mr Lettau.
Is the traditional Easter ham and chocolate bunnies ok to celebrate today? Instead of an egg hunt maybe look for balls on the bunny?

But you probably knew that, and made your silly claim anyhow.

What I've stated all along is that I don't belong to the democratic party. If asked whether I'm a democrat or a republican, of course I'd say democrat.
At the same time, there are numerous democratic positions I disagree with, and many republican positions that I agree with.

Then there issues where sides are being switched...
Republicans and I were pro national defense, pro NATO and anti-communist. Now republicans are anti-NATO, anti national defense and pro Putin.
I haven't changed my position, but republicans (at least those in charge) have.

Rick S.,
I'd never heard of it either, until Mr. Braswell brought it up. Perhaps it's something he's into.
It's not a "national day" but it's been around for about 15 years, and until today, very few people cared.

Gives me a chuckle that Mr Lettau didn’t know what his people were up to then defends it then throws out that “perhaps it’s something he’s into” like it’s an insult. Suggesting someone is into something he supports and thinks it’s an insult? Thats the belly laugh part.

Not sure who you think "my people" are. I'd never heard of TDV until you brought it up, and I looked it up.
There was nothing insulting in my speculation, after all you brought it up. All I pointed out was that it was purely coincidence that they fell on the same day.
The fact is that I don't bother with insults. Others seem to enjoy it, I don't.

Never figured out what dyed eggs and rabbits have to do with Easter and the yearly Christian Day of worship either . And especially what dyed eggs have to do with the White House . How or why such things become political really shows the mixfusions of America in the year 2024 , IMO .

Joe Biden is a dedicated Catholic , or so he has said so many times. I've known many of the Catholic faith who have never said such things nor the men who wear the Robes on the rez say such things either.

Here’s an apt comparison…
President Biden’s Easter message…
“Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s Resurrection.
As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice. We pray for one another and cherish the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities. And with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security, and dignity for all people.
From our family to yours, happy Easter and may God bless you.
Contrast that to
Former President Trump’s Easter message…
"HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING CROOKED AND CORRUPT PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES THAT ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024, AND PUT ME IN PRISON, INCLUDING THOSE MANY PEOPLE THAT I COMPLETELY & TOTALLY DESPISE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA, A NOW FAILING NATION,"

When Donald Trump can get on the social media and publicly harass the judge , and his daughter , Donald Trump gets a free pass . But when a poster scrutinizes or points these actions out it is called 'hate' on Speak Out . Or it is said to 'stop crying' when that is exactly what Donald Trump's public social media posts are , crying about his court cases . He is cheered on for these things , for being the victim of his own actions . But it is determined to be 'hate' not to believe he's a victim or hold him responsible for his actions . Which Church did Donald Trump attend to Worship Easter , the Christian Holy Day , has anyone heard . But that is his base , how does this work .
......
🔸Publically harassing a judge , and his daughter . Publically harassing all Judges and Court Officials at hearings he attends .
🔸Selling the Holy Bible , (has God ever been for sale ?) during Easter
🔸Drama is his 2024 Campaign platform
This is how making America is great again ? Yes , he will win in November . It's not about being a Leader of the People , it's about being the victim -- today's victims are great again .
Millions of Americans believe they aren't great and will go to hell and back to prove it's the truth . A victim will save them too . It's all sad , very sad . So c'mon with the Speak Out accusations , or whatever it takes to save the victim that's great again .

So Leftau, that is my response to you, if you cannot figure it out, I don't know how to help you.
Since there were general statements made and nothing in particular in the interchange, I will give you a statement that I consider to be pure BS and I think most on here will agree.......
It is the statement about you not being a Democrat, Anyone following you for the past however many years Is going to have a little difficulty buying into that.
So if that doesn't satisfy you Leftau I cannot help you. Further if you need a list of your BS statments, keep it yourself, I have plenty of work to do as it is. I will try to help you by stating it as it happens, but i will not be making lists.

Why Trump’s alarming takeover of the RNC is backfiring
"It’s been roughly a month since former President Donald Trump’s hand-picked allies took the reins of the Republican National Committee — the most tangible example of Trump’s ever-tightening grip on the GOP’s party apparatus. But the takeover isn’t going well.
"The committee’s new chairman, Michael Whatley, and co-chair, Lara Trump, immediately ordered a purge of the organization after they assumed their positions. Dozens of RNC staffers were either laid off or asked to resign and reapply for jobs. In a harrowing development, as my colleague Hayes Brown has discussed, applicants were asked for their views on whether the 2020 election was rigged."
More evidence of the decline of the republican/conservative party.

"Jon Stewart Tears Donald Trump Apart Over Civil War Speech
Jon Stewart roasted Donald Trump's Gettysburg speech on Monday night's installment of The Daily Show, comparing the former president's recent remarks to a middle-schooler's homework.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee for 2024 travelled to Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday for his first rally in the state, where he shared his thoughts on the Battle of Gettysburg.
The historic battle took place in Pennsylvania in July 1863 and is considered a turning point in the Civil War. However, Trump's comments raised eyebrows on social media.
"It was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways—it represented such a big portion of the success of this country," he told the crowd.
"Gettysburg, wow—I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch."
Stewart mocked Trump's remarks during the latest episode of The Daily Show, jokingly accusing the 77-year-old of plagiarism.
"That is plagiarized almost directly from my seventh-grade book report, Gettysburg, Wow," the comedian quipped, sharing a mock-up of a book report complete with a horse sticker and a "D-" stamped in red ink.
"I did not do well," Stewart joked, before poking fun at Trump's description of the battle.
"Is he talking about a Civil War battle or a horse giving birth?" the 61-year-old asked the audience. "Like, it was bloody, but it's life."
Stewart then cut to a second clip of Trump's speech, where he discussed the "statement of [Confederate General] Robert E. Lee."
"Never fight uphill of me boys," Trump said. "Never fight uphill. They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake.'"
"I'm pretty sure that Robert E. Lee was not a leprechaun," Stewart said in response to the footage, before repeating Trump's speech in an Irish accent.
"That's not how to take back the North's pot of gold," he joked.
Stewart also took issue with Trump's version of the Battle of Gettysburg, adding his own "minor point."
"I'm pretty sure Robert E. Lee would not have told them [to] never fight uphill, since he's the one who them to f****** fight uphill," the host said.
"He wasn't like, 'Ah, you know, if they go up the hill, I'm going to be so mad if they do that.'"
Stewart said: "Longstreet actually told them, don't go up the hill, but Robert E. Lee said, 'Me boys will do what they want.'"

SCOTUS hears arguments on Capitol Riot obstruction charge
The justices are hearing arguments over the charge of obstruction of an official proceeding. That charge, stemming from a law passed in the aftermath of the Enron financial scandal more than two decades ago, has been brought against 330 people, according to the Justice Department. The court will consider whether it can be used against those who disrupted Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory over Trump.
Most lower court judges who have weighed in have allowed the charge to stand. Among them, U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee, wrote that “statutes often reach beyond the principal evil that animated them.”
But U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, another Trump appointee, dismissed the charge against Fischer and two other defendants, writing that prosecutors went too far. A divided panel of the federal appeals court in Washington reinstated the charge before the Supreme Court agreed to take up the case.

Leftau can you not read? I posted my position on the current candidates months ago and I repeated it for those with a deficent attention span disorder such as you.
I will say what I feel one more time. I think Biden is Brain Dean and should not be on the ballot. I think Trump is a more capable manager than Dead Man Walking has ever been. But with the last Trump Administration where the Democrats went after him from the very beginning of his administration to the end, we do not need a repeat. It was pathetic and if the Republicans had given as much time to persecuting Dead Man Walking as the Democrats did to Trump we would be in worse shape than we are and I think you would have seen a matching number of charges. My feelings on the matter is I love my Country and I do not want to see another 4 years of lost time and treasure in another Democrat hate filled 4 years.
Do I make myself clear Water Boy? Is that simple enough for you to understand? I mentioned basically but not as detailed my feelings earlier. And if it comes down to Dead Man Walking and Trump there is no question where my vote goes.
The current occupant of the Oval Office scares hell out of me with his handling of foreign affairs. I do not want to see Americans killed in a useless war. He is NOT respected on the world stage, he is an embarrassment for America and he proved it in Afghanistan.

"I think Trump is a more capable manager..."
You're welcome to your opinions in defense of Trump.
Sadly, the only aspect of his "management capability" worthy of mention are his ability to delay being held accountable in his various criminal cases.
Did it ever occur to you that if Trump were truly innocent of any charge, he would want to get before the courts as quickly as possible to confirm his innocence.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, Apr 17, 2024, at 10:07 AM
1.) "I think Trump is a more capable manager..."
You're welcome to your opinions in defense of Trump.
Response:Leftau, speaking of a man's ability to do a certain thing has nothing whatsoever to do with defending all things that person. I thought you said you were highly educated. Where did they fail you on common sense.
2.Sadly, the only aspect of his "management capability" worthy of mention are his ability to delay being held accountable in his various criminal cases.
Response: That would be your opinion anyway. And we all know what opinions are like. Everyone has one.
3.) Did it ever occur to you that if Trump were truly innocent of any charge, he would want to get before the courts as quickly as possible to confirm his innocence.

"I learned long ago to not try and guess another's motives without all the facts."
That's all well and good, but in many instances you appear to be one of those individuals who easily deny facts that they don't like.
Great example is Trump's insurrection. It's a fact that he called people to Washington and sent them to the Capital and it's also a fact that the result was a violent attack on the Capital while Congress was to count EC votes.
If you ignore obvious facts, it's easy to dismiss events that make you unhappy by claiming you don't have "all the facts."

Response: Leftau, what I appear to be and what I am according to you are entirely two different things. You make judgements on your presupposed assumptions, which are nothing but that, just assumptions.
You do not know me and what I am and I am not obligated to tell you. You are not my Father Confessor and I owe you exactly nothing, and on what I know and believe deep inside are my business and I do not plan on getting your blessing on me and my thoughts and feelings anytime soon.
Just know this, I will say what I want, I will think what I want and say that only what I want you to know and there is not a thing you can do to change me. Cappesh??
2.) Great example is Trump's insurrection. It's a fact that he called people to Washington and sent them to the Capital and it's also a fact that the result was a violent attack on the Capital while Congress was to count EC votes.
Response: And that has what the hell to do with this conversation?? About as much as Bill Clinton lying under oath anyway!
3.) If you ignore obvious facts, it's easy to dismiss events that make you unhappy by claiming you don't have "all the facts."
Responce: I don't ignore facts, just manufactured facts, So far as having all of the facts, It is highly unlikely any of us have all the facts on what is happening a couple of thousand or so miles away. Do you really thnk you have all of the facts Leftau, or just those politicians want us to know?

Since you can't remember things I'll help you again.
It appeared that your "reliable source" for the January 6th "insurrection" was an acquaintance who approached the Capital, but upon hearing the "sound of glass breaking," turned around and went back to their bus.
Even that should have made you suspect. The sound of breaking glass is not what takes place on "normal tourist days" as some have described January 6th.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Apr 18, 2024, at 11:56 AM
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Apr 18, 2024, at 11:56 AM
Leftau, the man I spoke of told me what happened prior to the glass breaking not afterwards and opposed to you, I trust him on whatever he says. His group left and we're home sometime the next day.
They went there for a peaceful assembly and left when it started to turn otherwise. This is the information he gave me and I believe him. What happened later I only have what what I saw on TV to go by. And there I saw hell being raised and others just milling around.
I have stated before that I thought it was unfortunate that it happened. Don't remember the exact words I used.
You can take that as you pleased. But don't make a fool of yourself and try to demand anything of me because I do nor bow to orders from those not my superiors. Goes right along with not requesting information from those dumber than I am on a subject.

-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Thu, Apr 18, 2024, at 11:56 AM
Leftau, since you appeared to run and hide, I read again your post.
You quote "normal tourist days", as if someone on here might have said it. I believe that to be misleading at best, as I do not recall it being "normal tourist days". It would be interesting to read the whole quote, and who said it, just in case that is not just some words you either made up or pulled out of midsentence.
I don't believe I read anywhere where it was just like "normal tourist days". Actually it was obviously anything but.
As is the norm with you, no person is attributed to that so called "normal tourist days" quotation of yours.
You always want sources and information and are the worst poster on these threads when it comes to posting a source.
Come on Leftau and even if it is out of character for you and not related to another poster, give us the complete sentence.
I could start a post and just say "Biden is a stumble bumb" with no source and you would whine to the universe wanting to know who said it and why and in what context.
And yeah, I guess I just did. So far as I know I have not seen those words in a complete sentence. Just posted it to show what your "normal tourist days" quote amounts to. You did say as some have described it. Personally, I didn't hear it and don't know who the SOME people are.
I certainly never said they were "normal tourist days". They were anything but.
It is interesting though that that many people have so little faith in our election process. And I daresay there are scores more that were not in attendance on January 6th who have doubts as well.

Rep Andrew Clyde, R-Ga was the Congressman describing a "normal tourist day." Obviously there was more to it, but it was typical of republicans/conservatives to try to defend Trump by downplaying the severity of the insurrection.

Leftau, so you say, but we need a link to something besides your say so. And you say it was typical, how? Just more of your trying to degrade Republicans and Conservatives not Republicans/Conservatives because they are not necessarily the same thing.
So show us a link that states it is Rep Andrew Clyde's words, not just your say so. Come on Water Boy, you constantly want proof of something, how about you furnish the same.
I never heard a single voice saying it was a normal tourist day, so without the proof, I will suspect it to be just more of your BS.
So you say it is Republicans defending and tryint to downplay it while you do just the opposite, blow it out of proportion.
While I do not buy it being a normal tourist day, I do not buy everyone on site being a criminal either. Some of those people were just milling around in the pictures I saw on TV and some, right or wrong, honestly believed they had been screwed at the polls.
I stand by my original assessment, it should have never happened, but it was not as all black as you have painted it either Water Boy!
I will wait for your link to something believeable in print. Not that I don't trust you, I don't but you want proof, so I want proof, show us the link and make it believable.

And if you read the "proof" you finally produced it amounted to a lot more than three hand picked words taken out of context.
Not all justify everything that took place as all correctness nor did that Congressman. Some were just milling around and some were totally out of control. Any thinking person that watched any appreciable amount of the footage could see that.
The friend and group I referred to left town when they first heard glass breaking. And he further told me there were incitors in the crowd that did not appear to be there for any reason than to incite trouble. One man's opinion.

But it did. Funny how that happens when Trump calls his "mob" to Washington DC, sends them to the Capital to "fight like hell," and they break through Capital Police barricades and assault the building, smashing glass and trashing offices.
"And I was not there."
All that means is you didn't see the gallows to hang Mike Pense, hear the screams of "where's Nancy."
Virtually every American with an ounce of sense knows how violent and destructive the Trump insurrection was, even if they would have to say "...I was not there."

He must also learn he can not put Nations in the position where they have no choice , in other words , he must keep his pie hole fumble muck shut ..the man can not walk and talk in America , there's no use in trying to do it world wide too ...apparently they don't listen anyway

Iran fires at apparent Israeli attack drones near air base
🔸An apparent Israeli drone attack on Iran saw troops fire air defenses from a major air base and a nuclear site early Friday morning near the central city of Isfahan, which came in retaliation for Tehran’s unprecedented drone-and-missile assault on Israel.
It’s unclear whether Iran would retaliate for Friday’s strike.
Israel also carried out a missile strike targeting an air defense unit in southern Syria, causing material damage, state-run SANA news agency quoted a military statement as saying Friday.
The warplanes were seen around the time loud noises and drones were reported near a major Iranian air base and nuclear site early Friday. That area of Syria is directly west of Isfahan, about 930 miles away, and east of Israel.

Maybe Trump should stop keep playing the victim at the scam of the "hush money" trial , and it is a scam from the floor up , instead of attempting to bash and tell Biden what he should be doing in the Middle East . Talk is cheap , Trump is even cheaper , he can't be the victim and hero of the Middle East cluster "F____" at the same time.
It's a couple of men advanced in age who both are now fumble mucking their words , losing train of thought , and the best either Party has decided they can do for whatever reasons . It is a repeat to a loss of the American People , all of the American People .
"Peacefully fight like hell to take your country back" verses a Walking Dead Man . America's worse enemy is itself , not Russia , not the Cartels and illegal Immigrants , and not the Democrats or Republicans -- all Americans are not Democrats or Republicans...Biden and Trump are America's worse enemies , the agenda to partisanship of the American People. 2020 and then again in 2024 , one can only hope the American People can see it for what it is or the great partisan divide only grows deeper , Warren G. Harding and Herbert Hoover de-ja'vu...History is a circle , what has happened before will happened again ...
Some Americans call it dementia for seeing it what it is and pointing it out , others call it "hate" for see it what it is and pointing it out . The Silent Majority can see it , a repetitve loss of the American People and say nothing about the obvious . Question is , what will they do come November ?

1.) "To the effect it should never have happened."
But it did. Funny how that happens when Trump calls his "mob" to Washington DC, sends them to the Capital to "fight like hell," and they break through Capital Police barricades and assault the building, smashing glass and trashing offices.
Response: Yes it happened and it is being dealt with on a case by case basis.
Now it is Trump's "mob". Leftau, those were American Citizens. The vast majority of which did nothing that is going to be declared illegal. DC is their City as it is that of all Americans. You know for a fact that Trump called them and will document it for us? And yes, some broke the law, no question about it. But not all did and you might want to be honest enough to admit it, but I doubt it.
2.)"And I was not there."
All that means is you didn't see the gallows to hang Mike Pense, hear the screams of "where's Nancy."
Response: But you were there and are an eye witness to it correct? Just what is your point?
My point is that you were not there and that you think you have all of the details. I stated I was not there and know that I do not have all of the details.
As I have told your silly *** before, I do not in any way condone what happened with those that created illegal actions. However there were many there that did not take part in destruction. They felt cheated and in spite of everything some still do.
3.) Virtually every American with an ounce of sense knows how violent and destructive the Trump insurrection was, even if they would have to say "...I was not there."
Response: I will take that as your opinion which all are entitled to as this is a free country, which makes my opinions as valid as yours or anyone else's. So far as that being an insurrection.....
"Insurrection and rebellion are both types of uprisings, but they differ in the following ways12345:
Insurrection is an armed rebellion against an established authority or government, while rebellion is a more general term that refers to a refusal of obedience or order.
Insurrection involves the use of force or violence to overthrow the existing order, while rebellion may or may not involve violence.
Insurgents are not recognized as belligerents by the government, while rebels may be recognized as such.
Insurrection may facilitate or bring about a revolution, while rebellion may not.
Sedition is an incitement to revolt or rebellion, while insurrection involves actual acts of violence against the state or its officers." From Wikipedia
Perasonally it is my opinion that it was not an Insurrection meant to overthrow our government. Certainly a Rebellion by American Citizens who felt they were cheated.
So in as much as you keep dwelling on it being an Insurrection how about you give us your proof that it was truly an insurrection. I have not seen it treated as such against every person who was there in support of Trump.
You have your opinion and you were not there I believe you stated earlier. So from first hand experience you know no more about it than I do. Oh I recognize you have stood up time and again with condemnations. Hell you began that the day they announced Trump the winner against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and you have been at it ever since. That is going on 8 years. Ease up a little it is eating you up and my opinion is that even more so because you can do little to anything to cause the rest of us to buy into your bullshit.

DA, Trump is currently calling himself a Republican, so Leftau is 100% against him. Biden is a lifelong Democrat, so Leftau is 100% for him.
But Leftau is not a Democrat, he says so. What he doesn't think we understand is that you do not have to have your name on a roll and carry a card stating what you are.... to be what you are. He is a Democrat, and in my opinion the worst kind of Democrat , a Left Wing Liberal Democrat.

Seems there's another episode of "defend Trump at all costs..."
Being polite, the term "mob" was shown in quotes. In truth, the Trump mob is a cult that for whatever strange reason, worship him.
Clearly you forgot that Trump tweeted to his followers about January 6th saying, "be there, it will be wild."
Another fact is that access to the Capital for all American citizens is through the Visitor Center. The Capital was clsed on that day specifically because what was scheduled was the joint session of Congress to officially count Electoral College votes. (What a coincidence that Trump chose that day.)
Those "demonstrators" that did not cross the Police barricades that were well away from the Capital did not break the law.
Those that followed the "crowd" and broke through police lines and/or entered the Capital through smashed windows or battered doorways, were guilty of criminal trespass. As soon as the "innocents" followed Trump they lost their "innocence."
As far as what was witnessed, there were hundreds of cameras with thousands of hours of video which vividly depict what went on. Neither you nor I had to "be there" to witness what went on.
You claim that "...they felt cheated." If so, how were they cheated? What evidence do you have of "cheating." Recall that there were about 90 court cases alleging fraud, all were denied. (Feel free to produce your evidence on here.)
The single reason that anyone could claim to have been "cheated" is because "Trump said so." Because, arguably, the most prolific liar in US presidential history "said so" is totally ludicrous.
So is that it was a "...Rebellion by American citizens that felt cheated. Again, how were they "cheated? the 2020 election was fair honest and completely legal. If you disagree, bring forth your proof.
The intent was not to overthrow the government, but it was to illegally put Trump in office, even though he clearly lost the election.

1.) Seems there's another episode of "defend Trump at all costs..."
Response: Seem!! Well Litle Man I don't remember it being anything of the kind. Just describing it as I saw it from what I saw on TV and read. And I was discussing the crowd not Trump. But with you it appears everything is about Trump.
2.) Being polite, the term "mob" was shown in quotes. In truth, the Trump mob is a cult that for whatever strange reason, worship him.
Response: I fail to see how putting something in quotes to draw attention to it makes it polite.
3.) Clearly you forgot that Trump tweeted to his followers about January 6th saying, "be there, it will be wild."
Response: Clearly I forgot nothing as I was not aware of the Tweet. You see I never had the hatred of Trump you have or the love for Trump that you think I have. So I do not follow every breath he takes.
4.) Another fact is that access to the Capital for all American citizens is through the Visitor Center. The Capital was clsed on that day specifically because what was scheduled was the joint session of Congress to officially count Electoral College votes. (What a coincidence that Trump chose that day.)
Response: Perhaps Trump opened it up again. I think he as President had as much power as the one or those who chose to close it.
5.) Those "demonstrators" that did not cross the Police barricades that were well away from the Capital did not break the law.
Response: Well it is comforting to know you have some recognition of the facts that American Citizens have some rights;
6.) Those that followed the "crowd" and broke through police lines and/or entered the Capital through smashed windows or battered doorways, were guilty of criminal trespass. As soon as the "innocents" followed Trump they lost their "innocence."
Response:"followed Trump" Are you now say Trump was out there climbing over barricades and crawling through windows? I will quit laughing soon, I promise. And so far as justice taking it's course for those who broke any laws, they will be tried in a court of law and proven guilty or innocent as our statutes call for, they don't need you proclamation of guilt or innocense. And so far as loosing innocence, that again will be determined in a court of law not in your closed mind.
7.) As far as what was witnessed, there were hundreds of cameras with thousands of hours of video which vividly depict what went on. Neither you nor I had to "be there" to witness what went on.
Responce: Well Leftau you don't know what a comfort it is to know that I didn't have to be there as I would have had to plead guilty had I been required to be there. You see, I happened to be very busy right at that time with business affairs and end of year occurences and did not even know it was going on until it was over.
8.) You claim that "...they felt cheated." If so, how were they cheated? What evidence do you have of "cheating." Recall that there were about 90 court cases alleging fraud, all were denied. (Feel free to produce your evidence on here.)
Responce: I state my opinion from having spoken to one that was there Leftau. I made no judgement call if or not they were cheated, I simply made a statement of what I gathered they were there for. Certainly, was not for a victory celebration. I didn't count the number of court cases and from where I sit I could not tell you one way or the other if they were settled and a correct decision being made or not.
And Leftau if I had evidence this would be about the last place i would present it. Proper authorities would be my venue. And exactly how would you think I would have gathered any evidence. However, I think it is safe to say, I probably have every bit as much evidence as you personally have, which is nothing.
And Leftau, we finally agree on something. You said "The intent was not to overthrow the government".
Therefore there was no Insurrection. It was as I state earlier. It follows below.
"Personally it is my opinion that it was not an Insurrection meant to overthrow our government. Certainly a Rebellion by American Citizens who felt they were cheated."

Leftau, before you get all excited, I read again after posting and the one section I numbered 8.) I inadvertently deleted part of your post. It was not intentional and I post it below in quotes.
"You claim that "...they felt cheated." If so, how were they cheated? What evidence do you have of "cheating." Recall that there were about 90 court cases alleging fraud, all were denied. (Feel free to produce your evidence on here.)

Leftau you may have not like the response, but I hardly think it qualified as a Non Response.
So far as why they felt cheated, I already told you once that was the feeling I got from some I talked to at the time. But unlike you, I don't try to read minds and I don't try to put words never said in their mouth. My best guess it is from the Democrats reputation of cheating. Remember my Dad talking about some rides to the polls and a shot of whiskey for your vote. Remember a seminar where the speaker from a long time Democrat area of the South that laughingly said, down here we bury them on top of the ground so we can get then to the polls quicker. Remember a big to do in North St. Louis where they tried holding the polls open after closing a few years ago and I was personally solicited to cheat by a Democrat. Oh hell Leftau, just put me down as suspicious, that's what you will try to do anyway.

It’s looking like Trump will send Biden to a real care facility then pardon everyone charged from the Jan 6 “where some people did something”.
Mr Lettau will then lose the rest of his mind.

The facts haven't changed. Trump called his mod to be in Washington DC on January
(It will be wild.)
Trump sent his mobile to the Capital (fight like hell.)
The Capital event was the counting of EC votes.
Do you think Trump sent the mob to cheer on President Biden's victor?

-- Posted by Diseased*Turtle on Sat, Apr 20, 2024, at 11:48 AM
So in light of your conclusion above, is it possible that Trump sent his mob to the Capital to stop the legal EC vote counting, allow the seating of fake electors, and throw the EC or state vote illegally to Trump.
Their plot clearly failed. You may not like it, but that's what happened. Prove me wrong.

-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sat, Apr 20, 2024, at 12:15 PM
So you need a link because you are unaware of Trump calling a rally for January 6, 2021.
And you need a link because you are not aware of the fact that EC votes were counted by Congress in the Capital on Jauuary 6, 2021 confirming Trump's loss.
Might be easier if you were able to tell us if there's anything you do know about January 6th.
If you need links find them yourself.

Little Man, no need getting your bowels in an uproar. Vote Counting is not in question. I never heard what you claim Trump said. As I said before, I was busy with my own issues and heard nothing about what was going to happen in DC, what was happening in DC or what had happened in DC until I turned on the TV one night. I did not see Trump running his mouth as you state he did but apparently have no proof of. All I know is that time of year has always been a busy time for me. Prior to 2017 it was for about 20 years load the wagon and get out of town for about 3 months.since 2016 it has been tend a valued wife who has been suffering a severe illness to this day. And to this day, I run a leasing operation doing all of the bill paying and record keeping personally.

Trump Demands a Cut of GOP Candidates' Funding if They Use His Name or Likeness While Campaigning
In a memo obtained by numerous outlets, the Trump campaign announced new guidelines for GOP candidates in smaller races, requesting that they share at least 5% of their donations if they use the former president's name, image or likeness in their campaign materials.
"Any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations," the memo reads. "Additionally, President Trump's campaign and the RNC strive to treat our donors with the utmost respect."

He is not prohibited from being President again, he is just prohibited from being elected President again. Think about it. The last economist I was reading on it was fron Stansbury (Spelling}.
I truly believe some of what I have read that the Democrats are trying to line themselves up to grab permanent control. Any idea how a few million illegals indebted to them could help when they give them the vote.

Mr. Braswell,
My objection is when people make false claims or insinuate that current pricing is solely due to the Biden administration.
I have done weekly grocery shopping for many years. In fact I doing it right now.
Dozen eggs -$ 2.72
Half gal milk -$ 1.87
Loaf of bread -$ 1.42
Lb of chicken -$ 1.46
Lb bananas -$ 0.58
Of course prices are higher. Inflation was and is a worldwide problem. But the price of a full grocery bag depends on what you buy.

Have not followed it closely but I am hearing people who cannot meet their weekly needs are running up credit card debt at record numbers. And those rates are very high I am told.

More Nails in the re-election campaign of Senile Demented Resident of the White House Nursing Home Joey Biden!
-- Posted by Truth Slinger on Wed, Apr 24, 2024, at 12:48 PM
Two new instances displaying Trump criminality...
He became the first American president declaring he must have "blanket immunity" for all crimes committed as president.
One would think that a demand for "blanket immunity" would be clear evidence of the commission of crimes.
He also added to his list of indictments and potential indictments by being named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Arizona election interference case.
Are the republicans really sure there's no one better to nominate for president?

More Nails (failures) in the Biden re-election campaign!
"Bidenomics strikes again: Shocking number of full-time jobs lost over past 5 months."
Gotta wonder why it took Arizona 3½ years to press the same charges as the rest of the states , why did it take so long and why 6 months before the 2024 . Those People they indicted are used cars now .
Joe says that $61 Billion dollars to the Ukraine is protecting our National Security . The bombs and missles the Ukraine need are made right here in America. Joe fumble mucked some states and the jobs it would create . How much of the $61 billion is Pork Joe ? And how much of that Pork is legal and illigal immigants for cheap labor ? New and more jobs right before Nov. is a good look , no ? Especially when the other candidate is in Court .
There's good money to be made in death and destruction . Congress knows this , it need's it's Pork to pay off their Lobbyist. Joe is a lost man living in his own lost world.
And put an American Flag on your lapel Joe , throw that one you wore in the trash can..what in the hell are you doing ..

See where the White House has changed the procedure of Joe walking back and forth across the White House lawn to Marine One . He now has Aides walking with him instead of him walking alone . No explanation has been giving other then it's to help keep Joe updated on the quick change of events at this time. No , it's because Joe can't walk or talk .
Something to consider . The total funds and Aide given to the Ukraine is more then America spends on the US of A Marine Corp.
America and NATO are still buying Russian/Iran oil and natural gas to fight Russia . They've spent close to $100 billion dollars so far during this war . Joe shutting down America's LP exports will only make the costs go higher . Yes , Joe , and the American tax payers , are funding both sides of the war , he's paying both sides against each other . But so is Congress btw..
Someday these protesters will have kids and they too will be asking their kids , "What in the hell are you doing?".

House and Senate negotiate bill to help FAA add more air traffic controllers and safety inspectors
Congressional negotiators have agreed on a $105 billion bill designed to improve the safety of air travel after a series of close calls between planes at the nation’s airports.
House and Senate lawmakers said Monday that the bill will increase the number of air traffic controllers and require the Federal Aviation Administration to use new technology designed to prevent collisions between planes on runways.
The bill was negotiated by Republicans and Democrats who lead the House and Senate committees overseeing the FAA, which has been under scrutiny since it approved Boeing jets that were quickly involved in two deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019. The legislation will govern FAA operations for the next five years.
The Senate could vote on the 1,069-page measure as early as next week, but it could be delayed if senators try to attach unrelated bills. FAA is operating under a temporary authorization that expires May 10, and Congress might need to pass another extension.

This friday Trump is planned to announce his VP Candidate. It will be a grand event covered live by all of the media , CNN , Newsmax , MSNBC , and FOX each giving their own propaganda coverage when Americans can watch it for theirself and get their own opinions .
Trump will arrive in his 5 SUV caravan with the Interstate highway shut down for them on a grand enterance. There will be live music , a frenzied crowd of Americans wearing MAGA hats and waving MAGA signs , Political and Hollywood stars giving speeches about the man , the legend , the MAGA saver of America.
And then it will be Trump's turn to come out and make a speech about the man , the legend , the MAGA saver of America. With great fanfare he will make the announcement and the lucky chosen one will walk out on stage with even more MAGA frenzy. After another speech about man , the legend , the MAGA saver of America --who is the victim -- Trump will get back in his 5 SUV caravan and leave .
...and then the media CNN , Newsmax , MSNBC , and FOX will give their own propaganda opinions about the man , the legend , the MAGA saver of America and his VP Candidate for the next month .

When we were growing up on the farm stray dogs would come walking in for whaever reason . People came out and dropped them off outside the farm because they bought them and they were "untrainable" or they weren't as cute after they got home with them as they were in the store or they were chewers of their furniture or whatever .
It wasn't long before we had 3 or 4 stray dogs hanging around the farm , we didn't know if they had disease or if they were biters or whatever . We did know they chased the cows and chickens . We didn't have anything to feed them , hell , we hardly had food to feed ourself . So the best thing to do was just shoot them then drag them down to the woods , we had a bone pile where we threw dead animals and that's where they went .
That was life on the farm and that's life on the Rez .. folks are having a fit about Gov.Noem , maybe she grew up the same way , maybe she shouldn't have put it in her book ..folks who are tender about it didn't live the life..

Mr. VanGennip,
There is no “baby-killing” issue. The pre-natal process of all mammals include a germinal stage, an embryonic stage and a fetal stage. There is no "baby" stage. If you want to bestow "person-hood" on a fertilized egg, that's purely a political concept with no basis in medicine or science.
If you prefer to invent and insert religious or political terms, that’s your concern, not anyone else’s. The entire abortion question is a private medical issue between a woman, her doctor and whomever she invites to participate in a decision.
It is not a religious, legal or political matter. The last thing we need is old white legislators giving medical commands to women, especially when their interference endangers the woman’s health and life.
People that oppose abortion have never been forced to have one. Please keep these intrusive “law-makers” out of people’s private lives.

Leftau so we just remove all of those old white men laws and allow the child to be murdered up until it reaches 21 and legally can sign for themselves. Up until that time the parents made the child and they can take it out. Makes as much sense as anything you have stated this morning.

Rick S.,
"The woman's and man's decisions were made at the get-go..."
That may be correct in theory, but sadly, there are too many obstacles in the real world. There are fetal abnormalities, instances of incest and rape, medical problems for the woman and/or the fetus, and unfortunate conditions where the mother cannot carry the pregnancy to term.
I agree with you regarding the miracle of life and in the vast majority of cases everything works, but events don't always cooperate.
There are many examples for abortion being a necessary procedure, which is specifically why I object to old white men in legislature making iron-clad decisions for all women.
I'm totally in favor leaving personal choices up to the person, not to government politicians or bureaucrats.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, May 1, 2024, at 1:48 PM
Leftau, your idea of using abortion to creating only perfect humans smacks a little like Hitler's idea of creating a perfect society. Even to the point of breeding humans to achieve it in Hitler's case.
Maybe an imperfect mate shouldn't have kids so they they can order some sperm or an egg and we won't have to abort imperfect results.

"What I've mentioned is a woman's right to make her own decsions, and that old white legislators don't have any right to make medical decisions for her."
The above is your statement Leftau which indicates the life of an unborn child is nothing but a medical decision.
So how does you statement in quotes above coincide with the definitions below. You did state that YOU know about what you post.
fertilization
The biological line of existence of each individual, without exception begins precisely when fertilization of the egg is successful. The process of fertilization actually begins with conditioning of the spermatozoon in the male and female reproductive tracts.
THE FACTS AND DOUBTS ABOUT BEGINNING OF ... - NCBI
Does human life begin at the moment of conception?
At the moment the sperm cell of the human male meets the ovum of the female and the union results in a fertilized ovum (zygote), a new life has begun.... The term embryo covers the several stages of early development from conception to the ninth or tenth week of life."
Life Begins at Fertilization with the Embryo's Conception
Ok Leftau, you said that a Govt (aka Old white Men according to you) does not have the right to make a law regulating what a woman may do with her body. So since you say you know what you write about and since experts say life begins at conception, you then are saying women have a right to do as they will with their bodies. You are basically saying they have a right to take the life of that which they have helped to create and the State. Legislature or Old White Men have no right to prevent this taking of a life
I am saying you don't know what the h*** you are talking about.

Call it what you want Leftau, but what I read is that you are saying is that a woman has the right to make a medical decision to kill her yet unborn, but is alive, (according to what I posted for you above) child.
This my opinion and I believe it is easy to see, reading between the lines in some of your posts, ou are doing nothing more, nothing less than promoting the beliefs of the Democratic Party, basically that it is ok to kill the unborn.
I furthere believe your statement that you are not a Democrat, nor never have been, is a lie and you are ashamed to admit it.
Now atart your little chant about "Fabrication". There are no fabrications. I have stated that which is my opinion.
I have had a very busy day and finally found a few minutes to go through and debunk your BS, offering and opinion or so and now going to call it a day.

Joe and the Progressive Republican\Democrat US of A Government are not America , 'We the People' are America . These pro-Palestinian protesters are members of America's 'We the People' but so are the other 325 million Americans members of 'We the People'. When those 325 million Americans members have had enough , America will be quiet again .
When the American flag was raised on the University of North Carolina campus this week during pro-Palestinian protests , some protesters took it down and raised a Palestine Flag . The Pi Kappa Phi fraternity brothers said no yesterday , the American Flag will hang and that's what it did ...
America's adversaries can't beat America by Land , Sea , or Air..but it can by Social Media and the Net . And maybe that's just what's happening at these protests . Spreading ideology using tiktok , instagram , X(twitter). It's America's liberalism being turned into far Left neo-Marxist and neo-Socialist. Watch videos of the 1968 protests , they look just alike.

Abortion kills a living being.
Killing is against the law.
Don't want children, do something about it before creating one.
-- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Fri, May 3, 2024, at 8:32 AM
1.) There is no “baby-killing” issue. The pre-natal process of all mammals include a germinal stage, an embryonic stage and a fetal stage. There is no "baby" stage. If you want to bestow "person-hood" on a fertilized egg, that's purely a political concept with no basis in medicine or science.
Response: I gave given you the definition of when life begins, written by people who should know.
Would you like to retract the above statement and admit that you don't always "know" all there is to know about that which you write about.
2.) If you prefer to invent and insert religious or political terms, that’s your concern, not anyone else’s. The entire abortion question is a private medical issue between a woman, her doctor and whomever she invites to participate in a decision.
It is not a religious, legal or political matter. The last thing we need is old white legislators giving medical commands to women, especially when their interference endangers the woman’s health and life.
Response: Ditto response for #1.
3.) People that oppose abortion have never been forced to have one. Please keep these intrusive “law-makers” out of people’s private lives.
Response: Pure BS. How could a male be forced to have one. I oppose it!
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, May 1, 2024, at 7:02 AM

People , or law makers , put a time limit on abortions . Like they say after 16 weeks or 20 weeks or whatever .
I always wonder , how do they know the exact start time of conception , when did the clock begin ? Seems like they'd have to be in the womb to see it happen to start the timer .
-- Posted by Diseased*Turtle on Fri, May 3, 2024, at 9:21 AM
Rick S.,
The answer more complicated. Clearly the existence of a unique individual formed by the two combinations of X and Y chromosome begins at fertilization. But for a zygote to actually result in a pregnancy, it must implant itself in the wall of the uterus within 4 to 6 days.
For example...
"Most human embryos naturally die after conception – restrictive abortion laws fail to take this embryo loss into account"
"Many state legislatures are seriously considering human embryos at the earliest stages of development for legal personhood. Total abortion bans that consider humans to have full rights from the moment of conception have created a confusing legal domain that affects a wide range of areas, including assisted reproductive technologies, contraception, essential medical care and parental rights, among others.
"However, an important biological feature of human embryos has been left out of a lot of ethical and even scientific discussion informing reproductive policy – most human embryos die before anyone, including doctors, even know they exist. This embryo loss typically occurs in the first two months after fertilization, before the clump of cells has developed into a fetus with immature forms of the body’s major organs. Total abortion bans that define personhood at conception mean that full legal rights exist for a 5-day-old blastocyst, a hollow ball of cells roughly 0.008 inches (0.2 millimeters) across with a high likelihood of disintegrating within a few days.
"As an evolutionary biologist whose career has focused on how embryos develop in a wide variety of species over the course of evolution, I was struck by the extraordinarily high likelihood that most human embryos die due to random genetic errors. Around 60% of embryos disintegrate before people may even be aware that they are pregnant. Another 10% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, after the person knows they’re pregnant. These losses make clear that the vast majority of human embryos don’t survive to birth.
"The emerging scientific consensus is that high rate of early embryo loss is a common and normal occurrence in people. Research on the causes and evolutionary reasons for early embryo loss provides insight into this fundamental feature of human biology and its implications for reproductive health decisions."
So, basically, the "personhood at fertilization" ignores reality
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, May 3, 2024, at 11:27 AM
"Since life does begin at Conception..."
As from above, that's only technically correct but trying to define the "zygote" and a living human being is a religious concept.
It's comparable to trying to define an acorn as an oak tree. It grows into an oak tree in time, but they're two different entities.
The question (that you will ignore), is how the 60% of fertilized eggs that don't survive are explained away.
----- ---- --- -- -
So the definition of "...when life begins, written by people who should know" turns out that maybe they really don't.

Perhaps this proves that life is a miracle and there is no reason to end it .
It really doesn't explain how anybody knows proof positive the exact time of conception whether it be scientists, doctors , or politicians in my opinion . The closest might be invetro , but that's a story for another day .

Clearly they don't. Most women aren't concerned whether they've been pregnant for 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 weeks. If the pregnancy is normal, there's no concern. If abnormalities are detected, they have every right to appropriate medical care at whatever point it's detected.
The old white legislators with the stop watches in their hands are, and should be, totally irrelevant.
It's a case where others should mind there own business.
-- Posted by Rick Lettau on Fri, May 3, 2024, at 6:31 PM
Leftau, what happened to your previous theory that there was no life at the time of conception. Now there is a life, we just make an arbitrary decision if or not it is going to live or be ended and nobody but the woman has a right to an opinion. What you are saying is that the unborn child can be condemned to death same as a criminal who has committed murder. Just with the unborn child it has no lawyer to argue it's case.
I have mentioned before, when do we as a civilized society start making a decision on if or not that life is to be allowed to exist to a normal death or do we kill it at 8 months 23 days, 14 hours and 47 minutes after conception.
What happened to your argument that it was just a hunk of matter, so it didn't matter? My words your concept.
What if the lady decides that she doesn't like the little schmuck at 4 months and 6 days after birth. Why cannot she kill it then. Or at 17years old because he has become a troublesome little punk. Do away with him, it's the lady's prerogative. Right??
Your old white men rhetoric sucks Leftau. It has nothing to do with it. Killing another human is abhorrent in civilized society and life begins at conception if or not you approve of it. And that life deserves and needs protection every bit as much as you do Leftau.
Old white men wrote laws that protect you and me. Why are we and what have we done so special that we deserve to live live until a natural death any more than the unborn child has. If the mother doesn't want a child, then use protection or don't do those things that cause pregnancy.
Let's see if I can spell the reason most abortions take place...... selfishness and irresponsibility would be my assessment.

I don't believe I know what any woman is thinking or that can be concerned about , I can't or won't try to speak for them . Grampa always told me if I ever figured out a woman , I wouldn't believe it. We agree about medical abnormalities though , some are born with the Spirits.
"6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 weeks" , that's the thing..who knows the exact from the get-go .

Guess Leftau doesn't realize that State Lefislatures are not all Old White Men either. He needs to get out of Scopus and make a visit to Jefferson City and take a look. It has been at least 20 years ago as a Board Member of a State Wide Trade Organization I spent a lot of time there and the one House Member that helped us get passed into law protecting our industires interests a state wide trade issue was a remarkable Black Lady from North St. Louis by the name of Paula Carter. And later when the lady passed, my wife and I represented our association at her Church Service and Burial. And we were not the only Honkies there either. No Leftau laws are passed by both genders and various colors from various places. If anything presented is "melodramatic insinuations" then it is your reference to Old White Men making the laws.
Wake up and learn how laws are made. Let's go back to your "melodramatic insinuation" when you told us of your importance and how you had done some kind of project I long ago forgot, but you even got in the office of the "Mayors" in these towns. Now ****, you have no idea how that impressed me. I still laugh about it when I think about it. I will just let that ride as I don't think I ever sat in a Mayor's office, but have sat in an office of so.
So Leftau, if or not you have gathered as much, I am not impressed with your 2 bit wording "melodramatic insinuation".
Nothing has been insinuated, I believe it has been delivered in a language that any 5th grader with an IQ higher than about 50 could unerstand.

That peoople are or should be rational when deciding "...to have sex from the get-go..." ignores normal human nature.
There's also the problem of the pregnant 12 year old rape whose attacker just forgot his condom.
Then there are hundreds of medical conditions effecting the mother and/or the fetus.
My point is only that there are valid dangers to women with an unconditional unconditional abortion ban.

I understand the concept of human life, when it begins and why it is only justice to protect it so long as it has not violated the rules of God or Man.

First Leftau, we are not speaking of rare situations. We are talking about a law protecting the unborn from murder at will with no repercussions!
Got that Mr. Know it All??
Next Leftau, there is one greater than anyone on this planet and HE is called by many names Allah, Great Spirit, God and a number of more names that do not come to name immediately.
And HE has commanded "Thou Shalt Not Kill"!
You may sit out there on your little 18.3 Acre, so called by you, Horse Farm and think you are all knowing and the Commander of the Universe if you like.
But in the Universal Scheme of Things, to put it in a language you can understand, You Ain't Squat!
You can huff and puff and bring your self important being down here from up Nawth and think you can Lord it over a bunch of what you in your own mind consider Missouri Hillbillies, but it doesn't fly well with most.
You may think you are the last word sitting out there in Scopus on your fration of a farm but I for one am not impressed. I would love to purchase you for what you are worth and market you for what you think you are worth.
Was there anything I said above that you do not understand. if so I will try to clarify it. I can try to draw you a picture and mail it to you if my wordage was unclear to you.

Another absurd VanGennip rant signifying nothing.
For example...
A fertilized egg is a zygote and a unique individual, but doesn't survive unless implanted in the uterus. About 50% of zygotes don't survive.
Furthermore, while the embryos and a fetus are distinct individuals, their existence is 100% dependent on their host or mother. The fetus cannot survive on its own till viability.
The fact that failure of the host, for whatever reason, can endanger the existence of the fetus, does not constitute murder.
You're welcome to your religious concept of "personhood" but does not mean others must.
Boils down to your misunderstanding of medical science and reproduction. So explain what happens to all of those zygote (fertilized eggs) that fail to implant.

Lettau, do you not think that in 2024 with all the female and male birth control methods available that only in cases of Incest, the woman's or baby's health in question that Abortions are not needed?
Is it not easier for a woman to take a daily birth control pill than to go thru an Abortion procedure? Isn't a simple Tubal procedure better than an Abortion?
What is wrong with the young women of today that they are sooooooo stuqid when it comes to being responsible?

Leftau , You can quote all of the medical terminoloty that you can copy and past, doesn't change nature and how it was designed to happen. To quote a singer, I believe was Little Jimmy Dickens.
I got my education out behind the barn. We had cows, chickens, pigs. And I know how it happens in humans as well and the results if left alone, unless there are complications.
You may or may not believe in a higher power than the Democratic or any other political party, I could care less. You pop up with a medical situation that could come up but only does in a very minimal percentage of pregnancies. That is not a reason to abort at will when there is absolutely nothing medically wrong. You come up with, to use your terminology, "melodramatic insinuation" and that after your idiotic example of laws being made by Old White Men. That is a ridiculous insinuation. Legislatures as I have already told you, are made up of both genders and multiple colors as I have personally witnessed. And yes I said both genders, male and female, not some imaginary 3rd or 4th sex as some liberal wackos want to try and establish. Are you one of those being the a**wipe you are for the Liberal Left Wing Democratic Party?
Now I will tell you one more thing, if you haven't walked the walk, maybe you shouldn't talk the talk.
My wife and I walked the walk, due to a childhood disease brought home from school while my wife was pregnant, she caught the disease never having had it in her youth. We were advised to abort. We did not! Yes the child was born with a condition that could not be remedied and passed at 9 months old. That was long ago and we still miss him. Yes we got to see him smile but he could not be saved and we gave him that opportunity. And we would not change a thing if we had it to live over.
So you, you sorry POS before you start telling me what to believe, if you haven't walked the walk don't try telling me and others how to.

"...you, you sorry POS..." is the automatic VanGennip response, when he's totally incapable of any rational thought.
Another example, that he will never understand, is that what I've pointed out all along, is that the old white legislators vote their personal preference, rather than represent the desires of their constituents.
So keep it up, your childish insults reveal to everyone, exactly who you are.

The only DOJ/FBI Weaponizing going on here is DA Bragg giving Trump weeks and weeks of daily free PR campaign which he uses for votes. Everyday Trump walks out of the Courthouse complaining how unfair it all is like his personal problems are worse then the average American's.
The prosecution's star witness is the top dog of the National Enquirer and now it's down to "he said , she said" rumors. The MAGA are eating it all up believing it for 4 years too . What a gig if you can find one .

When it came promotion time at work the unsuccessful candidates didn't walk around the plant telling all of the employees how rigged and unfair the promotion was because they didn't get the promotion . Or how the person who was promoted were doing everything they could to make sure that candidate wasn't promoted again the next time.
The employees didn't want to hear all of that BS , especially not for 3 or 4 years . It was more like shut the hell up , who cares because you weren't promoted , neither were we. You come in to work everyday and do your job the best you can , there will be more promotions . 9 times out of 10 folks who complained and complained ended up leaving Rubbermaid for whatever reason . I had 3 basic rules:
1.) do your job
2.) be there everyday
3.) get along with everybody

Mr. VanGennip,
Here’s something for you to consider, based on your recent accusation…
“When you start making personal slurs towards someone you really have no personal knowledge of, call it what you like, but it is BS.”
----- ---- --- -- -
I don’t believe I’ve made personal slurs against you. Below are examples of actual “personal slurs.” If you find similar comments I’ve made let me know.
“you, you sorry POS..."
“Socialistic, Leftist, Liberal Democratic leanings”
“Your arrogance and talking down to others”
“being the a**wipe you are”
“You Ain't Squat!”
“the Commander of the Universe if you like.”
“someone who is not dumber than I am”
“Oh really Little Man?”
“you need to learn Leftau”
“something Water Boy'”
“that any 5th grader with an IQ higher than about 50 could unerstand.”
“with your 2 bit wording”
“you told us of your importance”
“after a dumb statement like that.”
----- ---- --- -- -
It’s eerily reminiscent of what Trump does, when there something wrong that he’s doing, he blames the opposition of doing the same thing. In light of his plans to usurp democracy, he falsely accuses of Biden of destroying democracy.
So if you prefer to continue making "...personal slurs towards someone you really have no personal knowledge of..." you're welcome to keep it up. It doesn't bother me, and it reveals to others, exactly who you are.

RNC purges election lawyer for saying Republicans shouldn't dwell on "things that aren’t true"
“Charlie Spies, a well-respected lawyer at the Republican Party, has resigned after angering Donald Trump by criticizing his false claims about the 2020 elections being rigged, The Washington Post reported.
“Spies was hired in March, with the former president’s approval, after Trump orchestrated a takeover of the Republican National Committee, under which prospective hires are generally required to say that the 2020 election was stolen before being offered a job. In Spies' case, Trump approved of the initial hiring but withdrew support after learning that the lawyer had been critical of his voter-fraud conspiracy theories.”

Leftau, for all of your huffing and puffing about it, you know no more than any of the rest of us about who won the election you are speaking of. You know what we have been told. You know who was named as the winner of the election.
In reality we all know just what we were told. I know from experience and what I was told about elections as a young boy. Democrats will cheat if given the opportunity
It has been stated that Biden won the 2020 election. I know that Dead Man Walking was given the win and was inaugurated. But it comes down to the fact that none of us have enough direct knowledge on who won the 2020 election that they could honestly swear to it it being a fact on who won the election.
Dead Man Walking was awarded the win, that we know with a certainty. Anything else comes from believing what we are told and trusting those who counted the votes and reported the results.
One thing we know for sure. You have carried on a hate Trump campaign since he was announced the winner in the 2016 election.
I have stated my opinion on who should not be on the ballot in 2024 and my reasons. I love America and despise the way the Democrats went after Trump for 4 long years and think the time and treasure wasted was a crime.

Leftau, I thought you were a college boy. Did they do nothing at all to teach you reading comprehension.
I never said one word in there defending Trump. I did not tell you in any way shape or form who won the election. I merely stated some facts. And I told you who they stated won and who was seated as President.
I know who they said won. Did he? That is something I have to take as told. I have no firsthand knowledge.

Over 7.2 million New Dependent Biden Illegals in the USA since 1/21/21 some of which are criminals and potential Terrorists
Strategic Petroleum Reserves cut by 60% with a Refill costing Billions more due to the increase oil prices

----- ---- --- -- -
Trump’s own officials say 2020 was America’s most secure election in history
Homeland Security put out a statement with state and local officials that countered the president’s fraud claims.
"The 2020 US election was the most secure in American history, according to US elections officials.
“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double-checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result,” the coordinating bodies on election infrastructure and security said in a joint statement issued by the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
"The statement directly contradicts President Donald Trump, who has made unfounded allegations of widespread voting irregularities and fraud. The president is using these claims to challenge the vote counts in several key states that delivered President-elect Joe Biden his apparent Electoral College victory.
"The Trump campaign has filed dozens of lawsuits, some of which have already been dismissed. But the barrage of legal action and Trump’s false claims — often bolstered by right-wing media and some of the president’s allies in the Republican Party — have undermined overall faith in the electoral process and in the safety and security of US elections.
"In the statement, election officials noted that though some states may do recounts, “All of the states with close results in the 2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count each ballot if necessary.” This beefs up the security of the vote and allows officials to correct and identify mistakes in the counting process.
"But the statement made one thing very clear: “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”
"Or as Chris Krebs, the head of CISA, put it: “TLDR: America, we have confidence in the security of your vote, you should, too.”

Leftau your suggestion that you aren't that far from a Conservative in your thinking is a laugh. And you have sneered at the Conservatives openly on here. I have openly stated on here that I was Conservative Republican. Yet you will deny you are a Democrat which is a laugh. I don't remember you ever disagreeing with one and your postings on here scream it.
The problem with politics in our Country is that it is either Republican or Democrat or you may as well stay home and it can have you choosing from the best of the worst too many times.
I see two scenarios for 2024.
Dead Man Walking gets elected and we have 4 more years of incompetence or Trump gets elected and we have 4 more years of hate filled badgering and fighting. I don't think for a minute the Democrats are going to give up on going after Trump for beating Hillary Clinton.

And comparatively speaking January 6th wa.s a Whirlwand compared to an Insurrection.

Who had them makes some difference, what makes more difference is the willingness to return them. Biden gave them back immediately, Trump denied he had them, tried to hide them and it required an FBI subpoena to give them back.
Furthermore, Trump has been indicted 4 times for about 90 felonies, Biden has not. Trump is a serial liar and "wannabe" autocratic dictator, Biben is neither.
That's a world of difference.

The one definitive statement I’ve made is that I have never been a member of the Democratic Party, nor any other party. My political choices are made independent of party, however, it does not matter what anyone else wants to call me.
My opinions are grounded in the following principles and beliefs…
Smaller limited government, both in manning and cost.
Financial responsibility to reduce deficits toward balanced budget.
Follow the Constitution and rule of law, maintaining human dignity.
Strong national defense and continue international leadership.
Balance of free markets with economic fairness.
So if that makes me a democrat, fine. The same would be true of any other political designation.

RFK Jr. says doctors concluded parasite ate part of his brain
Doctors discovered a worm had eaten part of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s brain after he complained of experiencing memory loss more than a decade ago, according to a new report.
The incident came to light during a 2012 divorce deposition as he made the case that his earning potential had been reduced by brain damage, The New York Times reported after reviewing the deposition.
In 2010, Kennedy told a friend he was experiencing memory loss and mental fogginess, which prompted him to seek medical treatment that doctors first believed was a tumor, the New York Times reported.

And Leftau thinks that is ok. Because Dead Man Walking doesn't have a politically motivated indictment hanging over him.

"...Biden decides not to send weapons to Israel after telling the World America is all in behind Israel all the way..."
He's still doing the right thing. Defensive weapons, Iron Dome missiles, small arms are all flowing and we're behind Israel's right to defend itself.
What's held up for now are 2000 lb. dumb bombs to destroy Rafah city blocks, that Netanyahu has been too tempted to use indiscriminately.
Israel had worldwide support after Oct 7th. Since then, that favorable opinion has degraded with the increase in collateral deaths of Palestinian women and children. Some deaths were unavoidable as Hamas hides behind civilians, but needs to be controlled, and not with 2000 lb. bombs.
What Biden has told them is correct, they could destroy Rafah and "win" the battle, but lose the war.

I thought we were discussing the Afghanistan Mess. Well I am going to first then I will get to your swityaroo?
Afghanistan?
And you were there Leftau? At the Trump Negotiations and the Biden Withdrawal Failure. I didn't think so.
But you are half correct here. I am a Conservative and proud of it. So far as Trump goes as I have stated before. I do not think he should run and we have 4 more years of infighting and forgetting what the hell government is for.
Did Trump have the greatest Presidency ever? No.
Were we better off financially under Trump than Biden? Yes
Is Biden's Presidencey a Mismanaged Mess? Yes
Now there is January 6th
Were you there and saw everything? I didn't thinks so and neither was I.
Totality you say. That is defined as "the whole of something:"! No Leftau, I don't know the TOTALITY of it. Do you really think YOU do? My guess would be.... you think you do!
Did I agreee with it? No, and I have stated that in the past.
Did I see everything that went on? No, I saw a portion of what was broadcast on TV.
Do I believe everything I read and hear on the issue? No and that is from either side.
You try to Paint a picture of me Leftau when you don't have details. I have never agreed with January 6th. and I have never blessed Liberal, Leftist, Socialistic Politicians. I am a Conservative Republican as I have stated before and proud of it. Not being a denier as someone on here is of HIS politics.
And there is something else I can assure you of, I will vote for nearly anyone who runs against Dead Man Walking. This is the worst run Presidency since Jimmy Carter and that mess. Carter and Biden are the two standouts of mismanaged Presidencies in my lifetime of 4 score and 6. Obama takes 3rd place. Make no mistake in your judging Leftau, I am Conservative and anti-liberal. I believe in people helping people and smaller less intrusive government. And I do not like paying taxes and seeing politicians ******* my money away. Furthermore, unless I dig a hole and discover gold my estimated taxes are paid through April 15th 2025. Did I have to do that no, but if I make quartely estimated payments, I may forget and get penalized costing me more.

The Trump surrender was even more damaging because he intentionally excluded the legitimate Afghan government from the negotiations. It was always intended to be a three-way arrangement until that is, the Taliban forced Trump to give in March of 2020.

Leftau. I have not, missed the point for any length of time. You wouldn't know a real Conservative if one bit you in the Arse.
Further, I don't cut my nose off to spite my face. I analyze a situation and am intelligent enough to know a little about who is what. When you have a choice to make and there are two people with a snowball's chance in hell of winning an election, you chose the best of the worst. Many things I don't like in life, but I am smart enough to figure out a situation for financially and safety's sake and choose accordingly. My wife used to do the Grocery shopping but has been unable to do so for 8 years. Therefore, I do it and I know what has happened at the check outstand as well as otherwise in life. I pay twice what I did for groceries four years ago.
So get this through your thick skull. I do my own thinking and I don't need permission from the likes of you to decide for myself what a Conservative is. You aren't even honest enough in your assessment of things to admit what you are politically. It appears to me that you are so egotistical that you think you are so much smarter than we are that we cannot see through you like a screen door.

Leftau that could cover a lot of territory,
But a few points it would be someone who believes in the following and not in order of importance.
1. Self Reliant and does not depend on Government to support every facet of their lives.
2. Faith in their Maker by whatever name they know him.
3. Believes in Government spending no more than they can take in within a reasonable time.
4. Willingness to give a hand up rather than handouts.
5. Strongly believes in Government by the People.
6. Dead set against Dictator style Government.
7. Family oriented and works to see that his children become the same kind of adult he patterns himself to be.
8. Community minded and will give of himself for community projects.
9. Passionate against Socialism, Communism and Dictatorial Governments.
10. Tries to position oneself to be able to retire on what he has invested in through different programs he has contributed to during his work years.
Now you might want to critice my use of he and him. I speak for myself that is why.
Leftau, those are a few things that come to mind but does not entirely cover a Conservative Mindset.
And I fully expect you to try to rip that apart and be highly critical. I have never been so self involved as to sit down and do a lot of thinking about what is a Conservative, but I think I have passed the test. I live in a community of Villas, which are something like a Condo developement but not hi-rise as in some condos. When asked to serve on the HOA Board of Directors I agreed to serve and was elected President. When I was in business, I was again asked to serve on Two State Wide Contractor Association Boards and served in those Associtions as President for several years. Neither of these were paid positions. You donated your time you traveled in your personal vehicle and purchased your own gasoline and accomodations when you traveled.
I guess I am a Conservative Leftau, I sure as hell am not a Leftist, Liberal Socialistic Individual. Quite frankly I have not given it a lot of thought, nor have I dwelled on it.
A lifetime is for learnig I believe and if you sleep well at night you are probably living it pretty well correctly. I have lived a great life I feel and married a partner who was an immense help in what we did with our lives. I have no apologies and I give no excuses.
And if this seems rambling and disjointed speaking or writing is not my bag.
So have at it, pick that apart and critice it at will. It doesn't phase me and what I am or am not.

"So saying one thing but doing another is the correct actions ?"
Not sure what you mean by that. Biden did not stop sending weapons. Israel can tell us what they need and want, but they don't have any right to tell us what to send.
The US standing behind Israel has not changed.

Joe Biden said from the get-go America was all in behind Israel after the Oct.7 attack by Hamas , he sent an American armada of ships to shoot down drones and rockets to defend Israel which they did . Congress passed billions of dollars in aide for Israel on April 20 -- who got that btw -- but now he's saying no , Israel isn't getting their weapons to defend theirself or their aide . He said one thing but now is doing another , his words are no good , they ring hollow .
...
Biden says he will stop sending bombs and artillery shells to Israel if it launches major invasion of Rafah

"...but now he's saying no , Israel isn't getting their weapons to defend theirself or their aide..."
From your link....
“We’re not walking away from Israel’s security. We’re walking away from Israel’s ability to wage war in those areas,” Biden said.
"Biden said while the US would continue to provide defensive weapons to Israel, including for its Iron Dome air defense system, other shipments would end should a major ground invasion of Rafah begin."
As I said, we are continuing to supply weapons to Israel. Netanyahu's plan to destroy Rafah does not include a essential means to protect civilians.
Rick S., do you believe that the only way to kill about 5 thousand Hamas fighters is to murder about 100 thousand Palestinian women and children. I don't.

From a few days ago…
My views are grounded in the following principles and beliefs…
1. Smaller limited government, both in manning and cost.
2. Financial responsibility to reduce deficits toward balanced budget.
3. Follow the Constitution and rule of law, maintaining human dignity.
4. Strong national defense and continue international leadership.
5. Balance of free markets with economic fairness.
So if that means I’m a democrat, that’s fine, I take it as a compliment.
----- ---- --- -- -
As for your conservative points….
1. Self Reliant and does not depend on Government to support every facet of their lives.
Agree 100%.
2. Faith in their Maker by whatever name they know him.
Also true, but neither an individual nor the government has the right to force one set of religious views on others.
3. Believes in Government spending no more than they can take in within a reasonable time.
Agree 100%
4. Willingness to give a hand up rather than handouts.
Agree 100%
5. Strongly believes in Government by the People.
Agree, but some contentious issue must be decided by a plebiscite or referendum rather than by legislatures.
6. Dead set against Dictator style Government.
Agree 100%. FYI, Trump has declared he would be a dictator on day one (supposedly for only that one day.)
7. Family oriented and works to see that his children become the same kind of adult he patterns himself to be.
Agree 100%
8. Community minded and will give of himself for community projects.
Agree 100%
9. Passionate against Socialism, Communism and Dictatorial Governments.
Agree 100%. FYI, Trump is the individual that admires Putin, Xi, Kin Jung Un and Orban. Furthermore, Trump is the one that has been indicted for trying to overturn a fair and democratic election.
10. Tries to position oneself to be able to retire on what he has invested in through different programs he has contributed to during his work years.
Agree 100%.
----- ---- --- -- -
As I’ve always said, I have no complaints, criticism or concerns about true conservatism. There are some issues and positions I don’t agree with, but even these can be worked out in a bipartisan manner.
Trump on the other hand, is not a conservative and never has been, and is in my opinion, the worst president ever to hold that office.

We elected a President not a Committee. And while Hillary Clinton was to be Obama's 3rd term so to speak. Biden has become it.
All President's have advisors, but not decision makers.

Nowhere did I tell you there was zero evidence.
Obama was very open about Islam and his feelings toward it. He called that wailing in the call to prayer, the most beautiful sound he had heard
And reports are he is coaching Dead Man Walking. So the opinion is not based on nothing as you FABRICATED!
I do not base my opinions on nothing.
I have had many hundreds of contacts with people in business where if I make a bad decision it is my hat, *** and spats on the line, not the government's or so other persons.
So try to be observant when I say something, not obnoxious. I do not jump to conclusions and I do not fabricate opinions out of thin air.
I learned in business that when quoting a price to a man and he, without being asked yet, tells you about three times don't worry I have the money to pay for it. Time to start worrying, he doesn't have the money. Only took me once early in business to figure that out. That type paid at least 50% up front and increments as work progressed. And leave a something needed doing at startup.

I have a distant cousin who grew up in Holland. She tried for years to get a permanent Visa. And kept getting passed because her number was not low enough and we only allowed so many Europeans in. I advised her to go to Mexico and walk in like others do. She said no she would do it the correct way or not at all. Finally she won the lottery, her number was drawn. Upon proving she had the education required and the money to fund her own living expenses until she found a job, she was given her VISA. I drove her around to the necessary offices she was required to sign in at including getting a Social Security Card. She is now living in the land of Fruits and Nuts and working. I met her through doing Genealogy and we stay in touch. She was here on a visit a month or so ago. She is becoming a self-supporting citizen of this country while Dead Man Walking's illegals are coming over the border and flooding us with another section of society that we are going to have to feed and fan along with a flock of children to educate.

Opinion: All Signs Point to a Trump Debate Meltdown
“The contest is so lopsided that even Trump’s pals at the WWE could not sell a ticket to it. (I know, I know. We’ve got to manage expectations. But, do we? Really? Each time Trump debated Biden in 2020 he lost..) And ever since then, as Biden pointed out in his debate announcement, Trump has avoided debating opponents.
“So, he’s bad at it and out of practice. Not a good combination.
“The Biden team calculus has to be based in part on the fact that it’s Trump who is actually losing his marbles. How else do you explain his recent praise for Hannibal Lecter and his noticeably slurred words during speeches?
“Furthermore, in the view of those close to Biden, Trump’s got a serious problem on the issues. He’s on the wrong side of the American public on many of the policy questions most important to them. For example, Trump keeps proclaiming he is the one responsible for the repeal of Roe v. Wade. Almost two-thirds of all women and over six out of ten men support legal abortion according to a recent Pew report. That translates into 63 percent of all Americans. That’s not a winning issue for Trump and the GOP, and recent special election results even in red states like Kansas and Ohio have shown that.
“Trump does badly on other signature issues. He loves Vladimir Putin, for example. In a Pew poll last year 91 percent of Americans indicated they have an unfavorable view of Russia with 62 percent having views that are very unfavorable. Trump’s one big legislative accomplishment was a tax cut that helped balloon the federal deficit and that tax cuts for those in the top five percent of earners were triple those received by the bottom 60 percent of us. Extending the cuts, as Trump has promised he would do, would add, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, almost $5 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years.
“Take Trump’s stance on another signature issue, immigration. Even though many Americans say they share his views, the reality is that when polled on his specific policies, according to a recent Washington Post study, they actually oppose them.
“But set aside for a moment the fact that Trump is a lousy debater who is clearly addled and losing his ability to speak in public. And the fact that his policy positions are broadly unpopular.
“And that historians consider him the worst president ever. And that Biden has a great record and has a demonstrated mastery over its details. There are other compelling issues for Biden’s team to be enthusiastic about the prospect of debating Trump.
“In all likelihood, the first debate will follow by just a few weeks the conclusion of Trump’s New York election interference trial. There’s a pretty good chance Trump could emerge from the trial a convicted felon. That’s probably not a debate plus.
“Even if Trump escapes a conviction, the trial has shown him in a very unflattering light and reminded the world of the sleaziest aspects of his past.
“What’s more, by the time the debate takes place it is very likely the Supreme Court will have offered what will be a net unfavorable ruling on Trump’s immunity claims, thus tee-ing up his next dates before the bar—in Washington, D.C., Florida and Georgia. And if the court rules on Trump’s behalf—against all precedent and the very spirit on which the country was founded—it will produce an outcry about corruption on the Supreme Court that will not redound in Trump’s favor.
“Further, reflecting on the New York Trial in its aftermath can’t help Trump—from its ick-tastic revelations about his attempts to seduce a porn star by comparing her to his daughter, to his daily sideshow at the courthouse, complete with a sycophantic chorus of back-up singers dressed exactly like him.
“Indeed, the New York trial has been a revealing episode that could not be a worse prelude for a debate. It has shown once again that although Trump has virtually no deeply held political beliefs, the core of his philosophy of life is that everything is corrupt—and that money and lies are what make the world go around.
“This, in turn, reveals him to be a kind of reverse neutron bomb—designed to destroy our institutions while leaving those people within it who are loyal to him still standing, or kneeling before him.
“It is that Trump the world has seen in the New York trial. It is that Trump that they saw on Jan. 6. It is that Trump revealed in each of the 91 indictments against him. It is that Trump that is the clear and present danger America faces.
“Biden is eager for the chance to stand toe-to-toe with his predecessor for these exact reasons. Trump’s defective character is so clear, and the danger he presents is so great, that the current president will have a hard time looking worse in comparison.
“The contrasts between the two men and their beliefs could not be starker.

An appropriate quote from Isaac Asimov…
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our cultural and political life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that, my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Nowhere is that more obvious than the influence of the Trump cult on the one-time republican party. Fortunately, the vast majority of Americans, including a significant percentage of former republicans, have recognized the big lie, and are broadly rejecting Trumpism.
The American people are very much more aware and intelligent than Trump will ever give them credit for.
