• Democratic Failure

    From Gregory Deyss@1:267/150 to All on Sat Dec 28 13:04:41 2024
    In the months and weeks leading up to the election the democratic machine threw everything that had at Trump.
    From ridiculous court cases from New York to Florida.
    They tried to do their best to bog him down in court, so he couldn't campaign.

    Lets be clear this was an effort to silence Trump and his message.
    They tried to convince the American voter using a very brush of their hateful message of disgust, while at the same time promoting fear.

    All of what was said by these people on the left was a lie
    - We were told that the border is secure, repeatedly. It was not.
    - Costs at the supermarket for groceries are under control. They were not.
    - Inflation is under control. Not a chance.
    - Gas prices are down. Nope.
    Not one single solitary comment from ANY democratic mouthpiece was true. Every diabolical idea they cooked up to stop Trump failed dramatically.

    Americans are Strong and Resourceful they do not like weakness.
    Biden had far to many of these moments
    - the man projected weakness.
    * the way he spoke and even moved, shuffling along barely picking up his feet * when he walked, it was completely embarrassing.

    This is why Biden was removed and replaced.
    Harris spoke in terms using word salad.
    Her words were spoken with an overdose of sarcasm and it sounded adversarial, w/ an racially condemning motivated tone that was very divisive and unfriendly causing fake victim-hood at every turn. and that cackle. Seriously?
    This is a exactly how many saw her, consequently this is why she was beaten in a Big League way. Good Riddance Hoe!

    ... I'm talking now. I'm talking, please. Does that sound familiar?

    In the months and weeks leading up to the election the democratic machine threw everything that had at Trump.

    Of course they did.

    From ridiculous court cases from New York to Florida.

    Those court cases (now on ice but cases all the same) are far from ridiculous.

    Trump was/is charged with stealing/mishandling top secret documents.

    He was/is charged with trying to overturn to 2020 election, among other things.

    he pled the 5th ~450 times in New York!

    They tried to do their best to bog him down in court, so he couldn't campaign.

    They did not. Democrats had no hand in those charges. Donald trump was charged with crimes in the same way any American would be charged with any crimes.

    Lets be clear this was an effort to silence Trump and his message.

    Nope, Donnie had no problem getting his message out. The DOJ gave him every opportunity to carry on his campaign in spite of the charges. He held rallies (many of them) on a constant basis.

    They tried to convince the American voter using a very brush of their hateful message of disgust, while at the same time promoting fear.

    It is Donald Trump who gives hateful messages.

    They are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats, they are eating the pets! Of course it is all lies.

    All of what was said by these people on the left was a lie
    - We were told that the border is secure, repeatedly. It was not.

    I guess that depends on what you consider a secure border. None of the republican/gop/trump narrative around the border is true, never was.

    - Costs at the supermarket for groceries are under control. They were not.

    You are talking about the cost of living.

    The US economy under Biden did very well. I just read the DOW is down 500 points. That is because of Trumps talk of tarrif's and deportations. Te US economy has been taking a hit since the news of Donnie's election win.

    - Inflation is under control. Not a chance.

    Inflation has been down under Biden. If Donnie continues with tarriff's and deportations it will be inflationary.

    - Gas prices are down. Nope.

    The cost of living is not going to go down in spite of DJT's promises. He is a common liar.

    Not one single solitary comment from ANY democratic mouthpiece was true. Every diabolical idea they cooked up to stop Trump failed dramatically.

    What diabolical idea do you speak of?

    Americans are Strong and Resourceful they do not like weakness.

    They will have to be.

    Biden had far to many of these moments
    - the man projected weakness.
    * the way he spoke and even moved, shuffling along barely picking up his
    feet when he walked, it was completely embarrassing.

    Biden's legacy will be good and strong.

    This is why Biden was removed and replaced.

    Biden was not removed or replaced.

    Harris spoke in terms using word salad.

    Harris is a good speaker. She was always clear and honest.

    Her words were spoken with an overdose of sarcasm and it sounded adversarial, w/ an racially condemning motivated tone that was very divisive and unfriendly causing fake victim-hood at every turn.

    I don't recall any divisiveness in her speeches.

    Maybe you don't like or agree with her, but she was not divisive.

    Donald Trump on the other hand, he is a divisive character.

    All of what was said by these people on the left was a lie
    - We were told that the border is secure, repeatedly. It was not.

    The media has even called them out on this one.

    - Costs at the supermarket for groceries are under control. They were not.

    And this one.

    - Inflation is under control. Not a chance.

    And this one.

    - Gas prices are down. Nope.

    They are actually going down here. It became more noticable after the election.

    Harris spoke in terms using word salad.

    They worked on her some, which was very much apparent in the days before
    and during the debate. But she was not able to keep up those appearances,
    and already had too many word salad moments on tape from before she was the nominee.

    Trump was/is charged with stealing/mishandling top secret documents.

    Letting Joe off for doing basically the same thing does not bode well for
    this particular case. They need not waste any more tax money on this one
    and pursue others. Otherwise, his defense team can argue that a precident
    was set with Joe's case.

    I guess that depends on what you consider a secure border. None of the republican/gop/trump narrative around the border is true, never was.

    Except that the US media has started to confirm that things are not right
    at the border, too.

    - Costs at the supermarket for groceries are under control. They were not.

    You are talking about the cost of living.

    Yes and, as that is the part of the economy that has the most direct effect
    on the voters, it is a very valid point.

    - Gas prices are down. Nope.

    The cost of living is not going to go down in spite of DJT's promises. He is a
    common liar.

    We will see.

    Biden's legacy will be good and strong.

    Only among those who want to wish it so. History will not likely be
    so kind. The botched Afghanistan pull out, the lapse of peace agreements
    in the Middle East, his debate performance that lead to his being replaced,
    and Hunter's legal woes coupled with what might be the largest blaket
    pardon in history will all tarnish that legacy.

    This is why Biden was removed and replaced.

    Biden was not removed or replaced.

    If he had not "stepped down" he most certainly would have been replaced.
    Enough megadonors have come forward to confirm this.

    Harris spoke in terms using word salad.

    Harris is a good speaker. She was always clear and honest.

    You have not been paying attention. She uses smaller words and repeats
    stuff alot, which is probably why you think so.

    and pursue others. Otherwise, his defense team can argue that a precident was set with Joe's case.

    Trump was asked nicely for over a year to simply return the documents. He refused and told his layers to say "we have none".

    Joe Biden returned all documents when they were found. There was no need for the FBI to execute a search warrant to obtain any stolen documents.

    There is no comparison between these two incidents.

    I guess that depends on what you consider a secure border. None of the
    republican/gop/trump narrative around the border is true, never was.

    Except that the US media has started to confirm that things are not right
    at the border, too.

    Oh, the media has confirmed it?

    Well, now the GOP has a trifecta I assume they will correct any laws that need correcting and implement them?

    It'll be interesting to see what congress/senate will do about these issues in the weeks ahead.

    - Costs at the supermarket for groceries are under control. They were not.

    You are talking about the cost of living.

    Yes and, as that is the part of the economy that has the most direct effect on the voters, it is a very valid point.

    True. The US economy has done well under biden in spite of corporate price gouging.

    - Gas prices are down. Nope.

    The cost of living is not going to go down in spite of DJT's promises. He is
    a common liar.

    We will see.

    Indeed. Donald has already said it's hard to bring prices down after the election. Before the election he said he would bring prices down.

    Biden's legacy will be good and strong.

    Only among those who want to wish it so. History will not likely be
    so kind.

    History will be kinder to Biden than the American public.

    The botched Afghanistan pull out,

    That was a Trump plan. Biden got it done, trump didn't.

    the lapse of peace agreements in the Middle East,

    What peace agreement did Biden (or America) let lapse?

    his debate performance that lead to his being replaced,

    His debate performance was bad, but he was not replaced. He stepped down. He was pressured I think, but it was his choice.

    and Hunter's legal woes coupled with what might be the largest blaket
    pardon in history will all tarnish that legacy.

    Hunter's legal woes matter not. Who is Hunter?

    His pardon is regrettable but understandable.

    Trumps pardons (past, present and future) are none of the above.

    This is why Biden was removed and replaced.

    Biden was not removed or replaced.

    If he had not "stepped down" he most certainly would have been replaced. Enough megadonors have come forward to confirm this.

    Biden did have the deligates, so I'm not sure he could have been replaced.

    Can you imagine the GOP outrage if the DNC did replace him?

    Harris spoke in terms using word salad.

    Harris is a good speaker. She was always clear and honest.

    You have not been paying attention. She uses smaller words and repeats

    She didn't use words like deport?

    Per an NPR report from January 21, 2023, the FBI did indeed search Biden's

    had not fessed up to having.

    Google "Did FBI search Biden property for documents" if you want to see it
    for yourself.

    We can only hope.

    The botched Afghanistan pull out,

    That was a Trump plan. Biden got it done, trump didn't.

    If I excecute an Ianson plan that I have been repeatedly told by advisors
    and people on the ground is faulty, that makes it my fault.

    and Hunter's legal woes coupled with what might be the largest blaket pardon in history will all tarnish that legacy.

    Hunter's legal woes matter not. Who is Hunter?

    His pardon is regrettable but understandable.

    You could say they did not matter until the pardon. Then it all became a part of Joe's Presidential legacy.

    Or was that pardon someone else's bad plan that Biden simply executed?

    This is why Biden was removed and replaced.

    Biden was not removed or replaced.

    If he had not "stepped down" he most certainly would have been replaced. Enough megadonors have come forward to confirm this.

    Biden did have the deligates, so I'm not sure he could have been replaced.

    Can you imagine the GOP outrage if the DNC did replace him?

    I can imagine it because that is pretty much what happened. He "stepped down" because he was going to be replaced. The GOP did act outraged. Several
    DNC donors were also outraged -- they didn't want Harris.

    Since she was on the ticket, she was legally the only one that could
    "inherit" the Biden money that had been raised. Anyone could have inherited the delegates, though. Research the 1968 convention. LBJ had some delegates, even though he announced he was not running. Those went to his VP Humphrey. However, the recently late RFK also had pledged delegates. Humphrey was not "tied in" with RFK like he was with LBJ (or like Harris was with Biden), but the RFK delegates were nonetheless reassigned to Humphrey.

    Hunter's pardon does not compare with say,

    George Papadopoulos

    Michael T. Flynn

    Roger Joseph Stone Jr.

    Paul J. Manafort

    Steve Bannon

    The above are all well known, the list of Trump pardons goes on and on.

    It's all a part of Trump's continuing legacy.

    Biden's pardon of Hunter is forgettable.

    I can imagine it because that is pretty much what happened. He
    "stepped down" because he was going to be replaced.

    He stepped down because it was the best thing to do. He plainly stated his reasons.

    Those court cases (now on ice but cases all the same) are far from ridiculous.
    Tell me.
    If he wasn't running for the Presidency (of which he won in a landslide)
    Would any of these case ever see the light of day.
    The answer is no, there you have your answer and my rebuttal to your logic.

    Trump was/is charged with stealing/mishandling top secret documents.
    Nope Judge Cannon of Florida tossed it out.
    Do try to stay current with the current events.

    He was/is charged with trying to overturn to 2020 election, among other things.
    You mean in Georgia / You do know that Fanni Willis has been removed in what is left of the Trump case that remains.
    I do believe the people within the state of Georgia turned that state Red just a Delicious Apple found within the State of New York.

    he pled the 5th ~450 times in New York!
    Doing so is not a omission of guilt.
    It has more to do with innocence if anything.

    They tried to do their best to bog him down in court, so he couldn't campaign.

    They did not. Democrats had no hand in those charges. Donald trump was charged with crimes in the same way any American would be charged with
    any crimes.
    Are you sure about that. Here is what
    (most people know, who do not live [and would never live in] your world know.) These are the facts why did a Federal prosecutor step down from his Federal post and then sent NY to take up the case there.
    Easy answer: The DOJ is corrupt and stinks to high heaven.

    Lets be clear this was an effort to silence Trump and his message.
    Nope, Donnie had no problem getting his message out. The DOJ gave him every opportunity to carry on his campaign in spite of the charges. He held rallies (many of them) on a constant basis.
    Your friends in the democratic party and all the sycophants pundits within the left-winged media who kept pointing to the sky, proclaiming it was falling, aided Donald Trump to be elected. Truth!

    All of what was said by these people on the left was a lie
    - We were told that the border is secure, repeatedly. It was not.

    I guess that depends on what you consider a secure border. None of the republican/gop/trump narrative around the border is true, never was.
    Don't go all squirrelly on me now, with your dodging and weaving.
    Bottom line is they wide-eyed clown faced mayorkas told the American People that the border was secure. It was not secure, not even slightly.

    - Costs at the supermarket for groceries are under control. They were not

    You are talking about the cost of living.
    I am talking about the cost of surviving
    (food is essential & necessary for life to continue.)

    The cost of living is not going to go down in spite of DJT's promises.
    He is a common liar.
    All you need to do is look South and see America take off. It will prosper! Then once you had your fill of "humble pie." You can go inside and fix your self some hot chocolate w/ or without the mini marshmallows.

    Biden's legacy will be good and strong.
    It's not what his numbers are showing.
    They are piss pour, lowest since Jimmy Carter (RIP)

    Harris is a good speaker. She was always clear and honest.
    You like that word salad crap - everything is better w/ bacon crumble on top. Apparently so. smdh
    No I do not like her and I was clear as to why. So you can go back and read
    it again and get re-educated as it were.

    Landslide? Hardly.

    Would any of these case ever see the light of day.

    These cases were all on there way to trial.

    The answer is no, there you have your answer and my rebuttal to your logic.

    That's a poor rebuttal. Trump has not been cleared and these cases have not been dismissed. The DOJ will not prosecute a sitting president so Trump need not worry until after his term.

    Trump was/is charged with stealing/mishandling top secret documents.
    Nope Judge Cannon of Florida tossed it out.

    A dubious ruling by Cannon. It doesn't have a snowflake's chance in hell of standing.

    Do try to stay current with the current events.

    I wouldn't put much stock in anything Cannon has to say or do.

    He was/is charged with trying to overturn to 2020 election, among other
    things.

    Fanni is out, the case stands.

    Really!? That's not what Donnie said.

    I don't have a single friend in the democratic party.

    I don't know why American's elected DJT again after all we have seen and heard but I don't think it was the democrats!

    I am talking about the cost of surviving
    (food is essential & necessary for life to continue.)

    Of course it does. Now donnie is president I don't think the cost of groceries is going to go down. Hint: the president does not control the cost of groceries.

    Biden's legacy will be good and strong.

    It's not what his numbers are showing.

    Have a look at Trump's rating as president. It's down near the bottom of the list (for a reason).

    Biden was not hiding documets that he had taken as Trump had done.

    There is no comparison between these two incidents.

    There is enough of a comparison that they will be hard-pressed to get a conviction after letting Biden off.

    They need to concentrate on other charges that have plenty of evidence and
    that are not ones they just let someone else off for.

    We were not talking about Trump's legacy. We were talking about Biden's.

    You are correct though it does not compare as Biden's pardon of Biden
    extends to yet to be determined crimes over a rather large time frame. In other words, it is a get out of jail free card for anything done during
    that time that might later come to light, and it is likely the largest
    "blanket pardon" in history.

    Or was that pardon someone else's bad plan that Biden simply executed?

    Biden's pardon of Hunter is forgettable.

    It might be if he'd only pardoned him over what he was already convicted of.

    I can imagine it because that is pretty much what happened. He
    "stepped down" because he was going to be replaced.

    He stepped down because it was the best thing to do. He plainly stated his reasons.

    He was going to be replaced. I have previously posted links to discussions with Democrat megadonors who have confirmed this. They also have confirmed that Biden endorsed Kamala as an "F-you" to all of the Democrats who
    pressured him to step aside -- they wanted an open convention and not
    Harris being nominated. Unless you have some previously undesclosed
    insider information, like being a Democrat megadonor yourself, you don't know what you are talking about.

    Those court cases (now on ice but cases all the same) are far from ridiculous.
    Tell me.
    If he wasn't running for the Presidency (of which he won in a landslide) Would any of these case ever see the light of day.
    The answer is no, there you have your answer and my rebuttal to your logic.

    While I agree with some of that, some cases date back to before he was officially running, i.e. after 2020 and before the 2024 cycle began.

    Your friends in the democratic party and all the sycophants pundits within
    he
    left-winged media who kept pointing to the sky, proclaiming it was falling, aided Donald Trump to be elected. Truth!

    No doubt about that. Media members conceded to this right after the election was over.

    You are talking about the cost of living.
    I am talking about the cost of surviving
    (food is essential & necessary for life to continue.)

    Persons of wealth have issues comprehending this, and will deflect by
    pointing at the stock market -- something that people having difficulty
    putting food on the table have no real interest in.

    Biden's legacy will be good and strong.
    It's not what his numbers are showing.
    They are piss pour, lowest since Jimmy Carter (RIP)

    I am glad that Carter got to live long enough to see someone do even worse. Carter was a good man who didn't really deserve that albatross.

    There is no comparison between these two incidents.

    There is enough of a comparison that they will be hard-pressed to get a conviction after letting Biden off.

    A conviction? There was never going to be a conviction or even a trial. There was no crime.

    They need to concentrate on other charges that have plenty of evidence
    and that are not ones they just let someone else off for.

    There is no crime or evidence of any crime.

    The above are all well known, the list of Trump pardons goes on and on.

    It's all a part of Trump's continuing legacy.

    We were not talking about Trump's legacy. We were talking about
    Biden's.

    Yes, you are talking about Biden's legacy. I am comparing that to Trump's legacy of pardons. He has done many stinky pardons and there are more on the way.

    You are correct though it does not compare as Biden's pardon of Biden extends to yet to be determined crimes over a rather large time frame.

    What crimes? Hunter is not the criminal you seem to think he is.

    Same for Joe Biden, what crimes?

    In other words, it is a get out of jail free card for anything done
    during that time that might later come to light, and it is likely the largest "blanket pardon" in history.

    Nope, Hunters pardon is no such thing.

    Biden's pardon of Hunter is forgettable.

    It might be if he'd only pardoned him over what he was already
    convicted of.

    The Hunter pardon is forgettable, and so is Hunter. Who is he?

    Oh, right. His name is Biden.

    He stepped down because it was the best thing to do. He plainly stated his reasons.

    He was going to be replaced.

    The reality is he stepped down.

    I have previously posted links to discussions with Democrat megadonors
    who have confirmed this.

    Donors, mega or otherwise do not decide who is on the ticket.

    They also have confirmed that Biden endorsed Kamala as an "F-you" to
    all of the Democrats who pressured him to step aside -- they wanted
    an open convention and not Harris being nominated. Unless you have
    some previously undesclosed insider information, like being a Democrat megadonor yourself, you don't know what you are talking about.

    Biden's endorsment of Kamala was nothing more than that. She didn't have to run. She decided to and the democrats got behind her.

    The rest is history.

    A conviction of Trump. They don't teach you much about context up in BC,
    do they? There is enough of a comparison that letting Biden off for
    improperly storing classified documents in his home will make it very
    difficult to convict Trump for also keeping classified documents improperly stored in his home.

    And there was indeed a crime, in *both* cases. If Biden or Trump were just about anyone else besides a politician, keeping classified documents in the manner that they did would have landed them in jail and/or heavily fined.

    Having worked with classified data most of my life, I know this. In my
    state, you are not only covered by federal laws that promise jail time and fines, but there are also state level laws for mishandling classified federal documents and data that also carry jail time and fines.

    They might be able to get Trump with some charge for not returning them,
    but it won't be the grand conviction you are hoping for.

    They need to concentrate on other charges that have plenty of evidence and that are not ones they just let someone else off for.

    There is no crime or evidence of any crime.

    You are correct though it does not compare as Biden's pardon of Biden extends to yet to be determined crimes over a rather large time frame.

    What crimes? Hunter is not the criminal you seem to think he is.

    Hunter was convicted of crimes. Joe has pardoned him of not only those
    crimes, but of all possible crimes during a wide time frame. So I am not
    the one who is imagining any Hunter crimes. Joe Biden is.

    In other words, it is a get out of jail free card for anything done during that time that might later come to light, and it is likely the largest "blanket pardon" in history.

    Nope, Hunters pardon is no such thing.

    Yes, it is. The last time anyone was issues such a blanket pardon, it was Richard Nixon.

    If you google "hunter biden broad pardon" you will fine articles like this:

    https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/02/hunter-biden-pardon-nixon-00192101

    "'I have never seen language like this in a pardon document that purports to pardon offenses that have not apparently even been charged, with the exception of the Nixon pardon,' said Margaret Love, who served from 1990 to 1997 as the U.S. pardon attorney, a Justice Department position devoted to assisting the president on clemency issues.

    "'*Even the broadest Trump pardons were specific as to what was being pardoned*,' Love added."

    If you don't like that source, there are also articles from ABC, the AP,
    and NPR to choose from.

    Aside from some MAGAs and some hard-core leftists, I have *never* met
    anyone as intentionally woefully ignorant as you.

    Trump took documents from the white house. Stored them in the bathroom at Mar-a-Logo among other places there about.

    He was asked to return the documents, he refused. It came to a point where the FBI had to attend Mar-a-Lago and retrieve them.

    These were not simply classified documents. These were top secret documents.

    Re-read the above. Unless you were talking about two different *Biden* incidents, the context is obvious (despite the parts you've removed).

    Biden did improperly store those documents, that is the end of that story.

    That is a crime.

    And there was indeed a crime, in *both* cases. If Biden or Trump were just about anyone else besides a politician, keeping classified documents in the manner that they did would have landed them in jail and/or heavily fined.

    I am not, but I worked with classified federal and state data for over 20 years. Anyone who handles this data is covered by laws regarding how they handle it... the FBI, the IRS, politicians, state agency employees, etc.

    Are you comparing the Hunter pardon to the Nixon pardon? Please stop.

    I did not. Someone who handled Presidential pardons for several years -- someone who knows more about it than me and *especially* you -- said that. There were not intentionally igorant enough to ignore that it was indeed a *blanket* pardon.

    In that context, they are comparable.

    The media seems to be lightening up on their Trump attacks lately.

    They are desperately trying to stay afloat. But it won't work.

    I expect to see a good number of media company failures this year.

    That seems likely, but how does anybody know what people are watching on TV? Our TVs don't transmit data, so are they just relying on Nielson families?

    I've been a Netflix subscriber for more than 10 years, and the only thing I ever watch on it is Trailer Park Boys re-runs (I can never get enough of that show.) But since Netflix knows that I've been subscribing for so long, they probably think "That guy has been subscribing for a long time, so he must be enjoying Emily in Paris."

    Fox News is probably right when they call themselves "Most watched cable news," but they can't know that for a fact.

    The "smart" TVs do. Neilson families are still useful, but dropping in usefulness.

    Their
    brainwashing is much more subtle and less obvious than the others. Probably the majority of Americans appreciate them for that also.

    Guessing: Since their lies were more subtle, they probably didn't see the huge drop offs that MSNBC had. But they probably had a drop in viewship as well. Especially since Tucker moved off (was fired, etc.).

    That's why they are cutting their operatives loose, messing things up as much as possible and going back into hiding.

    I expect to see many challenges to the DOGE cuts - since that will dismantle the Bureaucracy.

    I also expect them to fight to keep things in place that are bad for the country, but good for them.

    They will continue to fight, but on another level. The problem for them is that their power base is crumbling.

    They knew that they couldn't win the Presidency. But they did cheat in many senate and house elections to install their operatives.

    Yea, the house and senate majorities are not things that we can bank on, but let's hope for the best.

    I expect to see many challenges to the DOGE cuts - since that will dismantle the Bureaucracy.

    While the Soros associates fight for that crap, the smart American majority will know who to side with.

    That is funny. If a Democrat PAC had done the same thing, giving money to voters who promised not to vote for Trump, I am pretty certain you would still be crying foul about that.

    The forces of evil didn't try very hard to win, which still creeps me out. If they wanted to win, then they would have gave me lots to cry about.

    Biden endorsing Harris as his successor put them in a bind, IMHO. Most of
    them were ok with her being VP but wanted someone else to run for President.

    How did Elon do that? He is not in Congress and doesn't write bills.

    He processed the bill through an AI program and in 15 minutes all the pork
    as
    exposed. He then tweeted that if any Republicans vote for this he'll use his money to primary them.

    Several weeks ago, before the election, I pointed out that Trump influenced a vote via a social media post. Everyone here at the time said that he had nothing to do with how the vote turned out.

    Certainly you are not telling me that Elon is more powerful that the Donald
    and that he does have the power to tweet things so?

    There are talks, and I hope they go through with it, that all bills have to
    e
    posted for a week before voting on them so that the public can consume it first.

    That would be nice, although I doubt most of the public would understand
    any of them.

    Billions and billions and billions. The political class needed this bill to pay off the donors with pet projects.

    Congress tried to give themselves a 40% raise. Congress also wanted to be notified of any search warrants and they were quash against them... So the J6 comity or others who are into insider trading would be notified, tipped off on any investigations.

    Our representatives are professionals at drafting bills... They add things in there about homeless puppies so that if you complain about the bill they say things like... You hate puppies don't you.

    I think the idea of not passing these huge bills hours before a shutdown and Christmas break is a good idea. Have the bill posted online a week before the vote is a great idea.

    The Bill was disgusting and full of crap. Elon was able to show the public what was in it and the congressmen should be put on notice that waisting tax payers money money while they payoff donors with political favors.

    If they were all proud of their efforts, vote, add your name to the bill. And if your constituency doesn't like it you get voted out.

    What words or actions of Trumps is bothering you so much?
    From election night 2020, frankly we did win this election.
    I had no issues with Trump, fighting for what he believed in.
    I am not the only one who thought that the 2020 election was crooked.

    Given what we ALL just gone through w/ these past 4 years w/ Biden.
    I wish we could of avoided amateur hour. (which equates to 35064 hours.)
    Biden has been a politician for 50 years plus. What has he accomplished?
    The only thing that matters now is Trump has come out on top in 2025
    - bye bye Biden.

    Here is what I think of CNN
    https://tinyurl.com/3ywt33xv

    Donald Trump's lies go on and on. Here is a list of the 15 most notable lies from his first term.

    https://tinyurl.com/2fsup6kp
    The website itself loads but the attached video has been PULLED resulting in the following error
    Unable to load video
    Please try again later.
    Error code: CME01SH901 / 1200

    This is telling, for several reasons.
    There is NO WAY you could've of actually watched this.(gotcha moment)
    (due to it's removal)
    Was it considered "good enough" for you to state that there was such a video without actually watching it.
    You gotta do your homework with me, cross those t's and dot those i's

    The possible reasons as to why it is no longer available.
    1. This spin - when it was fresh and hot.
    before too long - was determined to be a failure.
    due to it's desired effect not having any such effect.
    Not keeping Trump from becoming President, on 01/20/2025
    Please... if it this was not the effect that was desired,
    then why was it created?
    It's ok Most of us know that CNN is fake News or as "really Fake News" per DJT

    2. Second Verse same as the first.
    What would be the point in keeping this video online seeing how Trump will become the next President in less than 15 days from now.

    Do you think he will turn over a new leaf?
    He need not turn over a new leaf, due of my conservative ideals and arsenal of facts.
    It is true that Donald Trump will be similar to Steve Austin
    - character from the Six Million dollar man.
    He will be Stronger Better and Faster than ever before.
    As seen here: https://tinyurl.com/3tudmprn

    If you want a history lesson?
    I will be more than happy to take you on a tour.
    The Democratic Party played Trump dirty. Steel Dossier this was a complete work of fiction. None of it, not one stinking filthy page was even slightly true. Yet he was impeached.

    There was nothing wrong with the phone call to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
    Yet he was impeached.
    He was also acquitted twice as well....

    Want proof?
    There was nothing wrong with the phone call.
    Read what said for yourself. other wise Put Up or Shut Up. (to coin a phrase) Here is a link to the telephone transcript of that conversation that took place on July 25th 2019 (that was unclassified) by Trump way back in 2019
    https://tinyurl.com/2t75v6kd

    While your online.
    You might learn something here with this young lady Angelarose https://tinyurl.com/28e23xz9
    The comments (under her on her video) Also Speak the Truth.
    This is something that my brothers and sisters on the Conservative side have known for a very long time.
    You are seriously out numbered and out_gunned (intellectually speaking)

    By the way Alan when was the last time you heard a Democratic President speak of America, the way Donald Trump talks about this nation; in the video by Angelarose. Answer: You haven't

    The only one that comes to mind in the last 65 years was JFK.
    The democrats of today are way way way left of what JFK ever was.
    Obama was a good speaker until he went on his apology tour for the U.S.
    and before say he didn't or worse yet play dumb and stupid and ask me what the hell I am talking about. Thought you might.

    Why didn't Kamala Win. The idiot box said she was going to win.(Libera

    Your predictions have been accurate in the past. I hope this one
    becomes reality too.

    I'm hoping too.

    I'm optimistic because of all the states that Trump flipped. The people who live in the idiot corridors might come around too. Some people have brains that take a little longer to develop than others.

    Using California as an example, most of the intelligent people have left. So we have a state populated primarily by morons and useless people. But they still have some smart, useful people there providing tax dollars.

    Now, what would it take for the rest of the smart, useful people to leave? Wildfires? Having your house burnt down by a wildfire? Hmmm....

    Think of what would happen to California if the number of people producing drops below a critical number. Add to that a Federal Gov't who will not give a penny to help.

    Socialism works until it runs out of other people's money.

    And I think we can apply the same to all the other socialistic states.

    That was a little different. They were passing a bill to give the Bureaucracy the power to, effectively, create law.

    So their bill was "We give XXX Dept the power to make rules about health care that has the force of law behind them." Then we had to wait until XXX Dept made those rules to "know what was 'in' the bill".

    That was one topic that I totally missed in the first YT documentary was the drag queen story book hour within school or an educational setting, this was accepted and promoted as normal, and even defended in a way that forced us to remain silent due to the idea that indicated Hey, we are just expressing ourselves, then claiming that any push back regarding this type expression was somehow a violation against their right to express themselves.

    I think our problem is, and it's Canada as well, is the country(s) are too big. You have liberal idiots living somewhere thinking they can push their ideology on you from 2000 miles away. In Canada it's the province of Ontario telling Alberta what to do... If you don't know Alberta is Canada's Texas...

    I have a lot of respect for what the founding fathers wanted, I think we have drifted from what they envisioned. We went from Congress voting for us to get into wars and the Government sold War Bonds fund wars... If people didn't like the war they can start to opt out of buying bonds.

    Now we can fund proxy wars and the president can get the money anywhere he wants... FIMA... doesn't matter. People are dying in North Carolina, the hurricane, and now California. Money goes to Ukraine citizens die. California sent fire equipment to Ukraine to the detriment of its population. The Democrat mayor cut millions from the fire budget... Fired 100s of fighters who wouldn't take the jab... The list goes on.... Ooohhhh the fire chief was hired because she was a Lesbian.

    I forgot where I was going with this... What a sh!t show... I think the Democrats have flipped the state of California back to red.

    Gavin's pumped about running for president in 2028.

    I can't wait for Trump to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

    Let's assume Liz does gets a Pardon for her actions on the Jan. 6 committee. She still has to show up in court and answer questions. Because of the Pardon, she can no longer plead the 5th. And Purjury won't be part of the Pardon.
