View Full Version : Trump
wdmso 01-07-2022, 04:48 PM the house republicans only challenged AZ and PA. even if they succeeded, that would not switch enough electoral votes for biden to have won.
so since spence says efforts that are doomed to failure are harmless stunts, by what logic was that not a harmless stunt?

SO ITS OK
Pete F. 01-07-2022, 05:04 PM Was what you refer to as a "run around" unconstitutional? Did you read the plan?
Yea I did
It called for Pence to do other than his responsibility as outlined in the Constitution
There’s a reason that when he asked Republicans who he luckily respected, that he decided to follow their recommendations and do his duties.
Trump would have gleefully celebrated Pences murder

Pete F. 01-07-2022, 05:08 PM Ok. So this is what you're saying...
If you lose a presidential election, it's OK with you to try and overturn the results using any method possible, other than getting the VP to do it.
So according to you, if you lose an election...
it's OK if you pressure the electors to not cast their votes for the winner, for no reason other than you hate the guy who won fair and square.
it's OK if your congressmen challenge the results in states, for no reason other, than you hate the guy who won fair and square.
But, if you pressure your VP to forego his duties in order to overturn an election, THEN it's bad.
All other ways to overturn an election for no good reason (other than you lost and can't accept it) are acceptable to you, except the method Trump selected.
Do you seriously expect any sane person to buy that, Pete?
You’re the master of obfuscation and certainly qualify as a person who doesn’t really support Trump 🤦

Jim in CT 01-07-2022, 05:49 PM SO ITS OK
i said just up the page, that’s it’s not ok. but it’s similar to what the dems did.
so whatever you think about the gop trying to overturn an election because they’re sore losers, you should think the same about democrats who try to overturn an election because they’re sore losers.
i don’t know how to say it any simpler, but you have no grasp of what anyone is saying here. i sincerely hope
you’re just messing with me.
look at my post from 12:57 pm
today, where i said all of them acted like spoiled brats who were willing to undermine the constitution.
you claim, that means i’m ok with it. you can’t comprehend that “spoiled brats who want to undermine the constitution” is a criticism.
you have no ability to comprehend words. are you drunk?

Jim in CT 01-07-2022, 05:55 PM so we have spence saying it’s not “overturning an election” if they try to install someone other than the winner from the same party as the winner.
wayne says that describing someone’s actions as “acting like a spoiled brat who is willing to undermine the constitution” is actually an endorsement of what they did, not a criticism of what they did.
and pete says it’s ok to make
multiple attempts to overturn an election, as long as you don’t involve the vice president. only if the VP is part of the plan, is it a bad plan.
whew.

I asked if Navarro's plan was unconstitutional. You implied that it wasn't following the Constitution. Theoretically, if one senator and one representative object to a slate of electors, the Senate and House will vote separately on whether to discard them. It would not be unconstitutional for a senator and a representative to make such an objection. But it would have to be done before certification. This has already happened in the past. But the VP can overrule the objection.
Navarro's plan had no chance of succeeding unless it actually could have somehow created enough national attention and desire for investigations into the objected elections. But, according to Navarro, the Jan6 riots took away the opportunity to make the objections before certification took place.
I don't see how it was unconstitutional or a "coup" or a threat to "our democracy."

After a Thursday appearance on Fox's Tucker Carlson Tonight in which Cruz, a Republican senator from Texas, apologized for his "frankly dumb" mistake of calling the Jan. 6 riot a "violent terrorist attack,"
Cruz's use of "terrorist attack" was not some sort of one-time accident. In fact, he had described the Capitol riot as a terrorist attack or broadly described rioters as terrorists over and over for months -- at least 17 previous times in official written statements, in tweets, in remarks at Senate hearings and in interviews.
Just another non principled Republican. Shocking

The humiliation is all the greater because Cruz was right in the first place: the people who attacked the Capitol really were terrorists.
But for telling the truth Comrade Cruz has to abase himself before Commissar Tucker.
Ted Cruz's latest political embarrassment is an illustration of the party at large. He did it in a very suck-upy kind of way with Tucker Carlson... The illustration that he provides is of 100s of Republican lawmakers.

The end goal of the scheme was to keep Trump in office by pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to block the certification of the Electoral College votes
The strategy, named after the football play famously used by Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers, involved more than 100 congressmen and senators, including Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona and Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. The pair were the first to challenge election results in the swing state of Arizona.

Navarro did not want us to know that "they only intended to overthrow the government" as you claimed. But you're apparently good with lying about it and making a false accusation. And I don't see how working within the bounds of the Constitution is a threat to it.

What do I post that was a lie ?
Keep spinning your wheels that nothing happened
the tragedy of Jan. 6 is not just the assault of that day and the lies that produced it, but what it signals for days to come. As our first president warned when explaining his intention to relinquish the office, “cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People, and to usurp for themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

You claimed that Navarro wanted to let us to know that "they [Navarro et. al.] only intended to overthrow the government". That is not at all what Navarro wanted to let us know. He wanted to let us know about their plan that could help us know about an attempt (not by Navarro et. al.) to overthrow the government. The government, at the time, was headed by the Trump Administration which was legally, constitutionally, in power until Jan. 21. Their plan was not to overthrow the Trump Administration, but to protect the U.S. government from being illegally subverted, thus "overthrown" by substantial voting fraud. He absolutely believed there was such fraud and thought that he had proof of that fraud.

I am very familiar with that quote by Washington. I've used it in the past. And I firmly believe that it forewarned of what various men have tried to do, and most successfully so by the Progressives who thought the constitutional system, the "very engines" that Washington helped to bring about, were an impediment to the unlimited system of administrative government they have to a great extent established--just a few more judges and a few more elections away from finishing the job.
Trump, as flawed as he is, was a temporary setback to their vision of how this country should be governed. Which is why even the Progressive lite "Conservatives" who were being exposed by him wanted him gone as much as the Dems did. Even Pete F, who nods toward the Constitution occasionally, and quotes some Founders every now and then, actually wants the growth of central ruling power which is anathema to the limitation by which the Constitution shackles government and to the separation of powers it provides.
As well, the various unconstitutional administrative agencies that are beneficiaries of the growing centralized power, especially including the security agencies, also wanted Trump gone as he was the greatest threat to them since Reagan and especially so since Kennedy who was a direct threat to the CIA before he was assassinated.
As well, the removal of Trump and maintenance of the growing central government power was preferred by most of the crony capital corporations who benefit by cooperation with, and even capture of, the administrative state and the thousands upon thousands of regulations it imposes on commerce that help eliminate smaller businesses to the advantage of large ones, which then progressively get larger by internal growth and the merging into centralized corporations. This includes most media corps.
As well, anti-Trumpism was promoted by an academia that once had been comprised of and run by those steeped in fields of knowledge who had a fervor for teaching their learning to students who hungered for it, but now had grown into corporate like organizations whose mission is more the gaining of money than the imparting of knowledge. And is run and guided by "administrators" who are expert, not in fields of academic knowledge, but in recruiting and finding financial resources which include continuous funding by government whose subsidization of tuition creates artificially high demand for college degrees which is an excuse for raising tuition prices. Which pours more money into the coffers of administrative academe and solidifies its symbiotic relationship with government and guaranties its compliance with government demands regarding the what, who, and how to educate, including the various norms that government wants to be indoctrinated.
So now even the original Progressive notion of government being basically unchained and with the unlimited power to do whatever it decides will be its version of benefit for the people is being corrupted into the fascistic centralized corporate State.
And people wonder why, in spite of all the really good sounding rhetoric of Progressive politicians, the "income gap" continuously expands and the number of small businesses keeps shrinking.

Progressive Big Government Pete playing his signature deceptive verbal tricks. Here he implies that public utilities are socialist. In other circumstances he claims we are not a socialist country . . .yet we have public utilities.
And he has claimed that Nazis, especially American ones, are right wing groups--his version of "conservatives." Yet here he is able to morph his notion of right wing conservatism (Nazis) into left wing socialism,
So, at will, he can either call Nazis socialists or conservatives, or he can contradict his own notions that we are not a socialist country. Or go the other way if and when it is necessary.
He is a master of not calling something by its proper name. But by whatever name that suits whatever lie he promotes as truth. He often resorts to tricky lies, but touts truth and honor, and castigates Trump and Trumpists for being liars.

Why conservatives hate college
The right's decades-long war on academia and "liberal professors" is about defining an elite "populists" can oppose
At the beginning of the 2010s, 58 percent of Republicans believed that colleges and universities had a positive impact on the course of the country, according to the Pew Research Center. As the decade nears its close, that number has fallen precipitously: It now sits at 33 percent, with the majority of the drop occurring from 2015 to 2017.

Almost seems like you're avoiding that question for a specific reason.
College, in terms of being required for all kids, is over-rated, getting more so. I spent time at Tufts (elite school), Southern CT State University (not a good school), and UCONN (OK school when I was there). I saw the whole spectrum. I wasn't extremely impressed with any of it.
It's wasn't really about getting educated even when I was there, and education is far less important today. It's an ungodly money suck, and a system to indoctrinate kids with liberalism, to help produce the next generation of liberal zombies, who can't think for themselves, and for damn sure have zero ability to defend their beliefs with any cogent thought whatsoever. To produce kids who will say "the 55% of blacks who aren't vaccinated...must be Republican!", even though nowhere near that many blacks are republican. But they'll say it anyway, because it serves their master.
It's designed to produce kids who shriek "liberalism is great!", then they stick their fingers in their ears and yell "la la la la!" so they can't hear any opposing viewpoint.
The radical conservative extreme, that college has no value, is equally false and stupid. But college is nowhere near what it's supposed to be.

Another GOP coward
After spending two years probing a 2012 terrorist attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya that killed four Americans, GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Champaign County on Tuesday issued a blistering critique of how the Obama administration and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handled the tragedy.
Jim J. accused the Obama administration and Clinton of being "so blinded by politics" and the desire to win elections that they disregarded the government's basic duty to "tell people the truth."
the GOP House committee probe into 2012's Benghazi attack was especially lengthy. At two years and four months, it was longer than Congressional probes into 9/11, Watergate, the JFK assassination and Pearl Harbor.

To produce kids who will say "the 55% of blacks who aren't vaccinated...must be Republican!", even though nowhere near that many blacks are republican. But they'll say it anyway, because it serves their master.
It's designed to produce kids who shriek "liberalism is great!", then they stick their fingers in their ears and yell "la la la la!" so they can't hear any opposing viewpoint.
The radical conservative extreme, that college has no value, is equally false and stupid. But college is nowhere near what it's supposed to be.
Jim conservatives love attacking the other. and academics are just on the Republicans base list like unions or gays or BLM or Antifa or Transgender people .. and even the brown POPE
Keep enjoying your victimhood :kewl:
PS. Republicans are still a bigger obstacle to vaccination than Black Americans
because the pandemic has been called a pandemic of the unvaccinated, there has been an effort by those on the right — where vaccine opposition is higher — to try to drag the left — specifically, Black Democrats
Sounds like you shocking
But of course you were told to be outraged you did zero research your just a GOP supporter parroting GOP talking points Shocking
New data continues to undermine that argument.
Consider new polling from the Pew Research Center. It tracked vaccine uptake over the course of the year, finding that Democrats and Asian Americans are the groups most likely to say they have received a dose of the vaccine. Black Americans are the racial group least likely to say so, though that figure is about equal to the percentage of Whites who say they’ve received a dose. It is also higher than three groups that are largely Republican: Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, rural Americans and White evangelical Protestants.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/09/15/republicans-are-still-bigger-obstacle-vaccination-than-black-americans/
Dan Patrick: "Democrats like to blame Republicans on (low vaccination rates). Well, the biggest group in most states are African Americans who have not been vaccinated. The last time I checked, over 90% of them vote for Democrats."
PolitiFact's ruling: False Let me guess fact checkers there is a significant left-wing bias in fact checkers. yes or no?

detbuch 01-11-2022, 07:25 PM Spoken like a true Trump supporter It’s odd you admit your your fondness of this former POTUS who was willing to overturn an election .. and you claim you support Originalism not sure how you square that circle
I get weary of ripping out the lying words you keep stuffing into my mouth. I supported Many of Trump's policies, not Trump as a person. I don't know Trump. Neither do you. Pundit opinions, political smears, media analysis, especially about controversial people are usually fraught with bias and lies--positive or negative. High tone intellectual sounding opinions in Salon, and The Atlantic, et. al. were easily seen through. There was a point, early on, when I began to like how he fought back against the continuing avalanche of manufactured accusations and how he exposed various political hypocrites, but that pretty much wore off as it became as sketchy and corrosive as the attacks against him.
I "support" him as a person only in how I support anyone who is falsely or unfairly accused--especially when it is meant to destroy him--and for the typical dirty political motive of gaining power.
You don't know me, nor do you believe what I say. So you make stuff up about what I think or am "fond" of. You rarely debate at any length what I say or what I link.
So you spout the narrative about "overthrowing" an election. The choice of word is a non-objective politically loaded accusation, not merely a neutral unbiased description. It's so embedded in your brain that it's not worth debating or discussing with you.
If you wish to point out what was unconstitutional, or unoriginal about what you consider Trump's attempt to "overthrow" the election, that could be an interesting discussion.

Classic denialism it runs deep with a few here .. and now you like the rest of the GOP and conservatives crowd are stuck on nick names with an unwillingness to help their fellow Americans via policy or any other methods improve their lives Yelling inflation while sitting on their hands in the hopes it gets worse and they will get some votes
America 1st What a joke
Jim in CT 01-12-2022, 09:24 AM But You like other Trump supporters don’t get to separate Trumps deeds into convenient packages to excuse away his behaviors than claim he’s a poor victim or you like his policy’s.
Why don't we get to do that?
It's exactly what democrats do with Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton, and Biden.
But as always, it's OK when you do it, only problematic when we do it.
My God, when Bill Clinton was president, all I ever heard from the left was "ignore his moral lapses, his policies are what matters as president". And I agreed with that, and still do.
Can you be consistent for three seconds?
Who here is excusing his behavior? His personal behavior is inexcusable. But his policies, well they worked. I know you don't like to have to think about this, but a record-number of Americans said they were better off after 4 years of Trump. Gallup does that poll every 4 years, and never before in the history of that poll, have more Americans said they were better off after 4 years of a president, I think it was 56% or 58% who said they were better off. And that was at a bad time on the pandemic.
What does that poll mean to you? I'm curious to know.
Jim in CT 01-12-2022, 09:32 AM GOP and conservatives crowd are stuck on nick names with an unwillingness to help their fellow Americans via policy or any other methods improve their lives
Trump did nothing to help Americans. Lower taxes, generationally low unemployment (record low for blacks), stock market soaring, not getting us involved in questionable wars, criminal justice reform, school choice, increased funding for black colleges, working with private sector in creating infastructures for covid testing and vaccines, none of that helped a single American.
Why are Biden and congressional democrats polling so badly, if they clearly want what's best for all Americans?
Other than the stock market (which is obviously doing great), what other metrics are there that would indicate things are better now than they were a year ago?
Inflation is now at a 40 year high, but you don't want to mention it. Because you don't care about reality, you care about what helps democrats.
The reality is, the country doesn't buy your nonsense that conservatives hate everybody, and that conservatism can't be of any value. Only the fringe left, well represented here, believe that. Look at how republicans do in state and federal elections across the country. How do you explain that?
We had the biggest jerk, by far, to ever serve in DC, in Trump. Yet after he got creamed in 2020, the GOP still has almost half the house, half the senate, and a majority of governorships and state legislatures. Every single poll indicates the GOP is going to do well in November. How do you explain that?
And again, which states are people leaving, which states are they moving to? I forgot, they move because people want low taxes, and that has no connection to politics at all.

For the 100th time, it's interesting how you bash Trump for making false claims about the lection being illegitimate. But when Democrats say the same thing (which they've said in some way for each of the last few elections they've lost), you could care less.
Did you once complain when democrats called Trump an illegitimate president after 2016? Or when they asked electors not to vote for the winner in their states? Or when they challenged the elections in several states with no valid reason, other than they hated who won?
All of that was OK with you. Just harmless stunts when democrats do it. end of the republic when orange man does it.

Glad to know that in your view, the law is applied on political lines. That has been quite evident for the past 5 years.
They need to be more worried about the investigations being done by Federal and State attorney generals.
Because anyone who prepared or submitted, or aided, abetted or conspired in the preparation or submission of, false electoral-vote certificates, would presumably be guilty of a host of federal and state criminal offenses.
PaulS 01-12-2022, 02:29 PM In an interview with far-right cable channel One America News, Trump said he received the booster and has seen politicians get asked in interviews whether they’ve also gotten a third shot.
“They don’t want to say it because they’re gutless,” Trump said. “You gotta say it, whether you had it or not. Say it. But the fact is that I think the vaccines saved tens of millions throughout the world. I’ve had absolutely no side effects.”
detbuch 01-12-2022, 04:39 PM But You like other Trump supporters don’t get to separate Trumps deeds into convenient packages to excuse away his behaviors than claim he’s a poor victim or you like his policy’s.

I didn't create any packages, convenient or otherwise. I didn't "excuse away" (that's your loaded characterization) his behaviors. I didn't claim he is "a poor victim" (that's your loaded and deceptive verbiage). I'm not "trying very hard", I'm easily stating what I believe, not what that caricature of me in your head supposedly believes. Your hallucination of me may think his support is personally for Trump, but the actual me knows that I don't know Trump personally, but I preferred his policies over those of any Progressive party or Progressive politician.
I "support" him as a person only in how I support anyone who is falsely or unfairly accused--especially when it is meant to destroy him--and for the typical dirty political motive of gaining power.
So let me get this correct what happened on Jan 6th supported and encouraged by Trump and those around him
I presume the figment of me created by your myopically geared brain actually believes that Trump supported and encouraged the riot. I, the actual me, don't believe he encouraged and supported a riot, and that is the "correct" me that you are unable (or unwilling) to "get".
Yet You see people looking to hold Trump accountable. For Trumps actions and behaviors before during and after the elections and today as (non-objective politically loaded accusation)
The "You" who you claim is doing the seeing, is the fictional one in your head. The flesh and blood real "You" (me) doesn't view Trump's actions and behaviors to be same as how the "You" flailing about in your head sees them.
But Trumps action do not raise to be classified as “typical dirty political motive of gaining power.”
Interesting
Setting aside that I never said that Trump was not capable of dirty political tricks to gain power, you may find the opinion of your imaginary me to be interesting. I find your perception of most things you've expressed on the political forum to be leftist media regurgitation.
And I've found that any invitation I've given you to truly discuss actual constitutionalism and the Progressive threat to it, is basically given short shrift or avoided. And, the real me, believes that is the pertinent political discussion to be had in our time. This focus on a constant delusional bickering about personalities (accurately or prejudicially portrayed) and which unconstitutionally based policies are the best or worst is the continued path to the destruction of our Republic, and the continued path to the replacement of the United States into the unitary United State. I think we ought to be discussing whether or not we should be protecting a system of limited government with separation of powers at the national level, and separation of powers between the national and local levels, and the ultimate separation of power between government and the individual.
As a little attempt to start such a discussion, I asked "If you wish to point out what was unconstitutional, or unoriginal [as in originalism] about what you consider Trump's attempt to "overthrow" the election". As I suspected, that is of no interest to you. It seems to be good enough for you to just say or imply that his actions are unconstitutional.

Republicans have no suggestions about inflation? Sometimes (not enough) they want to curtail federal spending and printing of money. Printing trillions and trillions, fuels inflation. Chapter 1 of any economics text, talk about the effect of supply & demand on cost/price. When you have a massive supply increase of something (like dollars), the cost/value of those dollars, goes down.
It's not rocket science. But you won't learn about it by reading the Daily Worker or Pravda every morning.

It would be inaccurate to refer to the J6 riot as a whole as an insurrection because it was not a coordinated effort. There may have been a few third rate or less insurrectionists in the crowd but most were not and were not even all not only not coordinated with each other, but had different motives. That does not make J6 an insurrection. Nor has anyone been convicted of sedition yet. If and when someone is, he might be referred to as an insurrectionist, but that does not make the riot an insurrection.

is is true that in the indictment, the people charged with sedition who were being surveilled and monitored by the feds recorded their expressed anger with trump for not maintaining power and had decided they were going to have to act on their own?...doesn't sound like they were coordinating with anyone other than their
little band of nuts
is it true that trump authorized the use of the national guard for the 6th and that pelosi and bowser refused? pelosi had been suggesting trump supporters were terrorists for years you'd think she would have welcomed the extra security
that guys with the eye patch tho'....reminds me of when the South Park kids decided they wanted to be pirates so they went to Somalia
there were apparently three additional men from Florida charged recently...that will make pete happy....they were charged with "civil disorder"
The term "civil disorder" means any public disturbance involving acts of violence by assemblages of three or more persons, which causes an immediate danger of or results in damage or injury to the property or person of any other individual.
This sounds remarkably like the democrats and their friends during the 574 declared riots during the democrat summer of love
Pete F. 01-15-2022, 07:52 AM I would suggest you read the insurrectionist conspiracy charge. It states conduct that precedes and postdates January 6. So it extends the story in either direction toward planning if 1/6 and continued planned violence after.
Then watch the conspirators lawyers interview, where he claims they where just waiting for orders.
Where would they have gotten the idea that Trump would use the Insurrection Act like Rhodes’ attorney suggested today? Who told them that was a possibility??
You would almost think the DOJ was conducting investigations with intention, quietly and then charging people when they had evidence against them that was significant.

the problem is the rest of the country aren’t in the cult we don’t blindly believe everything we read. (is it true that trump authorized the use of the national guard for the 6th and that pelosi and bowser refused? )
The Trump and GOP supporters are bombarded with so much misinformation from the trump triangle of Fox OAN and newsmax that when the lies get exposed they just go back into the fake new corner
Republicans 3 odd years on Benghazi. Outraged Americans died many here insisting troops could have helped , I should pull some up for a side by side comparison

why was there no added security at the capitol, how did these guys get anywhere near the capitol never mind in the capitol and why weren't they arrested until a year after the event?
Sounds like questions for the administration in charge, Flynn’s brother, Chris Miller, etc.
Having all the former secretary’s of defense issue a statement should give you reason to wonder.
Oh yeah, the deep state
The ten living American secretaries of defense collectively signed an extraordinary letter over the weekend, stating in the strongest possible terms that the U.S. election is over, the time for protests is past, and that there is no role for the U.S. military in resolving any controversy surrounding it. They called for a smooth and professional transition of defense responsibilities from the current administration to the next, reflecting their frustration with the obvious stonewalling that has characterized much of the turnover so far. And, most forcefully, they said that any civilian and military officials who directed the use of the military to interfere in the electoral process would be held accountable, “including potentially facing criminal penalties, for the grave consequences of their actions on our republic.”

wdmso 01-15-2022, 10:19 AM Here are few Benghazi outrages You will not find the same convictions when applied to What happened January 6th
God Bless Foxnews, the only network willing to do their jobs on this story.
Unfreakinbelievable.
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say | Fox News
WHY ISN'T THIS A BIGGER STORY.
Stevens and others ask for more security, and they are denied. When it turns out thet were justified in asking for more security, their pleas for help go unanswered?
Unfreakinbelievable.
"A second force that specializes in counterterrorism rescues was on hand at Sigonella, according to senior military and intelligence sources. According to those sources, they could have flown to Benghazi in less than two hours. They were the same distance to Benghazi as those that were sent from Tripoli"
guess under this administration we can't defend against 20 or so militants
If we can't send in a drone we don't go
We have an administration that can't think on its feet and has to way the personal political fallout in every move.
Obama first,,,,everything else after.
I guess under this administration we can't defend against 20 or so militants"
You said it before i could.
The drones over the compound showed approximately TWENTY attackers. Twenty. This was not the Battle Of Thermopayle.
Spence, if Obama's military advisors need 2 weeks to figure out how to defeat 20 barbarians, then I think they need to be replaced.
2 Navy SEALS survived the attack for 7 hours, for Christ's sakes. 15 or 20 more special forces soldiers, and it's a turkey shoot.
Spence, you don't put people in harm's way and refuse to help them. You just don't, not if you have any honor.
The Obama administration stood their with their hands in their pockets, because of 20 barbarians who probably couldn't scratch their names in the dirt with a stick. Even Jimmy Carter wasn't that impotent. Obama was probably looking on the Harvard Law Review for the appropriate response, while those guys were literally fighting for their lives.
UNFREKINBELIEVABLE.
Amazing how with all the number of hours of real time information streaming into the situation room , a decision to do nothing was made
It took the Bush administration minutes to get planes in the air and the order to shoot down American airliners
At an absolute minimum, you at least deploy some troops in choppers, and have them hold a few miles out, while you try to figure out if you can send them in. That way, once you getthje green light, they are 2 minutes out. If the forces are an hour away, it makes zero tactical sense to leave themthat far out. They could have been hovering the ocean (Benghazi is on the coast),
Plain as the nose on your face, either one of two things, complete and utter incompetency,or lack of courage to make the right decesion for whatever reason.
Come on Mr President, tell us why four of our American citizens weren't given
the help they asked for and needed.
These are significant questions. Have they been clearly answered already? If so, Gowdy whould explain why he says they are unanswered. If many of these are still unanswered (and I can't fathom why these wouldn't have been answered yet), that's valid reason for the hearings.
The Dems do not want thee hearings. Human Nature 101 suggests that when one has noting to hide, one does not quiver at the thought of answering a question.
The good news is, soon we'll all know. Interesting that the GOP can't wait to start the hearings, and the Democrats want nothing to do with it. I find that revealing, I am sure you do not.
Gowdy is not a party hack. He was named a US attorney by one Bill Clinton. He's respected on your side, though I'd imagine not for long, as I suspect he's about to take a lot of powerful Democrats out to the woodshed.
I just hope it lasts until 2016...
So where was the President during the time these brave men were fighting for their life's and begging for help ?
I missed that testimony
I care where he was. I'm of the understanding he knew the attack was taking place . If he shrugged it off and passed on the decision making to others then I would like someone held accountable.....
The hearings are coming. I cannot wait to watch Gowdy refuse to let anyone whitewash this.
This is just a few. Examples of how the The GOP and their supporters are just hypocrites claiming these great convictions of truth and honesty being objective
Than History proves otherwise

Pretty much everybody who wants to vote, can vote, even dead people in democrat strongholds.
Lots of people can't get covid tests, lots of people with covid cant get treatments docs want to give them (monoclonal antibodies), because not enough exists.
Your side's concern over voter suppression is speculation. My concern over insufficient covid supplies, is a reality. It's happening.
The GA voting law that the left is going berserk over, allows more days of early voting than Bidens home state of Delaware. It also allows for excuse-free absentee ballots. where some liberal states make you provide a sufficient excuse to get an absentee ballot.

Are you OK with giving treatment priority based on race? Thats the key question.
If you say "yes", how is that not racist against the races that get a lower priority?

Pete F. 01-19-2022, 09:45 PM The Supreme Court ruling is likely to have a cascading effect on other lawsuits filed against the Jan. 6 select committee, which cited Trump's pending litigation as a crucial flashpoint in their own efforts.
The key line in the ruling: Trump would have failed even if he were the incumbent president.
The lone dissenter was a funder of the Stop the Steals husband.
This puts Meadows (and Bannon) in extra legal jeopardy. Their defense against contempt of Congress based in part on executive privilege claim.

Pete F. 01-21-2022, 06:32 AM Actually it’s just one part of a conspiracy
Miller was a senior White House aide when he said this.
Interesting when you start looking at the "alternate" sets of electors as a part of a conspiracy to commit forgery and fraud to obstruct an official proceeding, rather than just crazy talk on Fox.
President Trump's allies are preparing to send an "alternate" slate of electors to Congress, senior White House adviser Stephen Miller said Monday, signaling Trump will drag out his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election even after the Electoral College certifies Joe Biden as the winner.
Miller, appearing on Fox News as a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, brushed off the idea that the Electoral College vote marked any kind of end to the process.
"The only date in the Constitution is Jan. 20. So we have more than enough time to right the wrong of this fraudulent election result and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the election," Miller said on "Fox & Friends."

"That the draft executive order’s author knew about Memorandum 21 suggests they had access to sensitive government secrets..."
So the order was not the work of Trump hangers-on. It was written by or with the help of USG officials with clearances. Otherwise they would not have it.

you’re comparing a democratic primary to a general midterm. makes sense. i guess that’s better for you than, you know, answering the question.
biden’s not worried about polls? Biden is making fake
claims of racist voting laws,,and trying to undo the fillibuster which the democrats lived last year, in desperate response to the polls.
Well, Biden himself may. it be worried as he’s too busy soiling himself. His handlers are terrified, and with good reason.

i don’t expect to see that happen. but it’s not a political question, it’s constitutional. nowhere in the constitution could a rational person find justification for that being a federal issue. “search and seizure”? come on.
SCOTUS shouldn’t care about polls or popularity, only about constitutionality.
overturning roe, wouldn’t mean abortion is outlawed. it would
mean the states get to decide, which is where it should be decided. the constitution lists things that are federal issues, and specifies that everything else is a state issue. even if it ever gets overturned, many states would still offer it. not a huge deal.

so you support politicians who say more gun laws are the answer, but you can’t conceive of a hypothetical law that would have prevented that crime. which necessarily means, you cannot explain why you support those politicians, other than the fact that you believe everything said by everyone who has a D next to their name
now, can you justify york comment that christian nationalists are “closely aligned” with muslim radicals? or is that another thing you heard a democrat say, and therefore you blindly believe it?

Help the poor to do what? To comfortably remain poor? What was Jesus's true concern? To make everyone equally comfortable? To make everyone materially equal? Did he want human government to solve all of humanity's needs and problems? Did he want a world in which there was no need for God?
Separating Christ's values from "Christian values" gives the lie to anyone who professes a secular government based on "Christian values."
Christ taught a charity that is personal, not governmental. Christ did not try to reform government, nor support movements that would make the government a means to solve the material needs of humanity.
When he said to give Caesar what was owed to Caesar, he did not tell us to give Caesar your soul. He did not tell us to become dependent on Caesar. Your soul, your essence, your fundamental self belongs to him, to God. No matter under what governmental system by which you happen to be ruled.
That is the true Christian value. And a true Christian would speak that message, not tell us to worship and depend on the manna given to us by a secular society.
I don't know how deeply felt were Jimmy Carter's Christian values. Nor even, how deep is the faith of most of those who profess to be Christians.

One of the key characteristics of today’s Republican Party is its anemic agenda; at the national level it organizes itself not around policy goals but around owning the libs. This is one of the central facts underlying the debate over the filibuster: It harms Democrats much more than Republicans, because Democrats actually want government to do things. When Republicans take power, they pass a big tax cut, then pretty much call it a day.S
The GOP does, however, have a comprehensive negative policy agenda —
But keep thinking they pass stuff

Why Joe Biden Is Bleeding Black Support
Although Biden has lost ground with most every demographic group, he’s suffered especially steep losses with African American voters. In polling from NBC News, Biden’s approval rating among Black voters has fallen from 83 percent last April to 64 percent today. Quinnipiac University’s surveys show a similar trend, with Biden’s Black support dropping from 78 percent to 57 percent over the course of his first year in office.

Ok, let’s run with that
Congressman Stephen Fincher, a Republican from Tennessee, just took the Bible so far out of context he had to apply for a visa.Fincher is a fierce opponent of food aid for poor Americans. You know, like Jesus. He recently fought to cut $4.1 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. If you only watch Fox, that means ‘food stamps.’ And thanks to the fine work of Fincher and his colleagues, 2 million working American families, children and seniors have already been cut off from food assistance.
So during a recent House agricultural committee debate, he decided to show how Christian it is to turn your back on unemployed suffering Americans by quoting one of the favorite Bible passages of revoltingly fake right-wing Christians — 2 Thessalonians 3:10 — “anyone unwilling to work should not eat.”
Fincher and the GOP … cut services for the poor and taxes for the rich. And it’s a free country. They’re allowed. But if you don’t want your tax dollars to help the poor, then stop saying you want a country based on Christian values. Because you don’t. And that’s why representative Fincher is our ‘revoltingly fake Christian of the week’!

So if government mandated universal healthcare had existed in Christ's time, that might have made it a bit harder for him to convince people to believe his divinity. Of course, he still would have had the proprietary rights of bringing the dead back to life. And his other miraculous healings of the blind and the sick and the demon infested psychologically disturbed would have been more appealing than whatever backward medical treatments were available back then--especially so since his and his disciple's service was free. Except that there was an implicit expectation that the healings would convince the ill and impoverished (as well and especially those healthy others who witnessed or heard about the miracles) to follow him and believe in the coming kingdom of God. That is, they would pay for their cures by surrendering their souls to Christ, to God. If they didn't, there might well not be another cure the next time around--not an explicit threat, but a rational, even religious, conclusion.
It was that payment by soul that was ultimately the true concern of Christ. He did not have a mission to provide some universal health care, nor even campaign for the government to provide it. Rather his goal was the singular salvation of souls. He didn't intend to physically cure every ill and dying person, nor even a minor fraction of them. Even if he would have, they would just get sick again, and he would then be burdened with the never ending task of providing universal health care.
The poor in health and the poor in spirit were the most vulnerable and the most likely to want what Christ offered. And therefor the most likely to provide occasions for miraculous cures for some of the more "privileged" to witness and be motivated thereby to eschew their wealth and privilege and follow the Christian way.
But the price for entering the kingdom of God was always the individual soul, not the lip service of organized bureaucracies and governments.
If anything, that organized capture of and lip service to Christianity (even though it has made possible the expansion of the religion) has diluted the true faith. And in our semi-miraculous technologically advanced time, that dilution has exposed much of the organized, bureaucratic "Christianity" to be a soulless fraud. This current Pope is the ultimate sellout of the Christian faith to the earthly powers and their centralized bureaucratic machinations intended to make us all little useful cogs in support of those self-indulgent but ultimately meaningless coteries of ruling elites.
With your "more Christian than Jimmy Carter or I" you've implied that you're a Christian. If so, are you a true believer or a soulless lip servant who can from time to time invoke the name of Jesus or refer to "Christian values" when it somehow supports some pet agenda?

detbuch 01-29-2022, 11:38 PM Ashley Babbit was unarmed, and killed for the crime of trespassing, by a cop with a documented history of being stupidly reckless with his firearm.
This is totally out of context thinking, IMHO. She was at the very front of the force about to breach the chamber... I am more surprised by the restraint shown by all others who were defending the Capital and were armed... I would have been firing before the force reached the top of the stairs.
And there is more to the Ashley Babbit story than her just being the victim here. She used her vehicle to ram the vehicle of the woman who was in a six year relationship with the man she was sleeping with. So given her record, I am sure she could easily slip into presenting as a threatening member of the attacking force. Good shoot IMO. She put herself there...
Sometimes things are not what they appear to be . . . and there is evidence that Ashley Babbit was not the villain you think she was. Maybe she was not a threatening member of the attacking force. Could be that she wanted to stop any "attack." And did not deserve to be shot:

^^^ this actually sounds like something a crazy militia member might fantasize about....he must have missed all of the restraint by armed police officers during the 574 riots during the summer of love
we've had some here criticize police for discharging their guns when they had guns, tasers, knives, vehicles pointed at them....what was Ashley pointing at this officer that threatened him?
If this had been the Federal Courthouse in Portland and protesters had broken a window and were climbing through and a cop shot an unarmed woman climbing through the window and killed her...do you think it might have been portrayed a bit differently by the usual suspects ?
Jim in CT 01-30-2022, 07:20 AM .what was Ashley pointing at this officer that threatened him?

Just wait for the ad showing video of Jan. 6 mayhem, with caption and voiceover: “The 2022 Republican Party: Riots, Lies, and Videotape.”
Then the ad featuring one of the terrific Capitol Police officers, and then showing scenes of the screaming mob: “We stand with him. They stand with them.”
It’s obvious where the White Wing stands

i also disapprove of january 6. but unlike you I’m not dong to
lie about what happened that day, for political gain.
TV ads? your side hasn’t stopped talking about january 6th for two seconds. yet polls show that people are turning away from dems. it’s entertaining for fanatics like you, but no one else cares. so go ahead and make the ad. people care about inflation and crime.
“where the white wing stands.”
More than 50% of hispanics in VA voted for Youngkin.
“White wing”, that’s a good one! Zing!
but you’re too cowardly to

But you have lied about what happened that day, claiming that Ashli Babbitt was not a criminal but a poor somewhat innocent tourist.
This was an invasion of the Capitol by a throng of people openly attempting to prevent the Electoral College from engaging in its lawful functions so that their preferred candidate would be declared the winner of a presidential election. That fits neatly within almost any dictionary’s definition of “insurrection.” Members of the insurrectionist mob had erected a gallows across from the Capitol building; chanted, “Hang Mike Pence”; and were equipped with flex-cuffs.
Keep in mind that just yesterday Trump said if he is re-elected, he will pardon the insurrectionists, but I thought it was BLM, Antifa, FBI and tourists who attacked the Capitol?

And there is video evidence that she was trying to stop the vandal who smashed in the glass pane through which she jumped, possibly to escape any danger from the crowd that was being pinned in by the swat team. The video strongly indicates that she did not want to destroy government property or attack anybody except the vandal who was breaking the glass.

PaulS 01-31-2022, 10:26 AM John Dean, who served as the White House counsel during Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal, has condemned former President Donald Trump's claim that he'd consider pardoning the January 6 Capitol rioters if he were to win the presidency in 2024.
"If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly," Trump said at his Save America rally in Texas on Saturday. "And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons. Because they are being treated so unfairly."
Dean, who was disbarred for obstruction of justice and held in government custody for four months during the Watergate scandal, tweeted his disagreement with Trump's promise of pardons.
"This is beyond being a demagogue to the stuff of dictators," Dean tweeted.
"He is defying the rule of law. Failure to confront a tyrant only encourages bad behavior," Dean added. "If thinking Americans don't understand what Trump is doing and what the criminal justice system must do, we are all in big trouble!"
Pete F. 01-31-2022, 10:46 AM Mr. Trump’s public confession last night, where he all but dared the Attorney General to seek a grand jury indictment against him for seditious conspiracy and for giving aid and comfort to an insurrection to “overturn the election,” is the last straw. The Government must call his bluff.

Bill Clinton pardoned his brother (half brother?) Roger, who had been convicted of trafficking cocaine.
Clinton also pardoned Marc Rich, who had fled the country because he owed $50 million in unpaid federal taxes. The pardon came after Rich's wife donated more than $1 million to democrats.
And Clinton is an absolute hero on the left.
BUT TRUMP!
I have no problem pardoning anyone who was guilty of trespassing, yet is sentenced to years in prison. If they actually were holding hostages and making demands that the election be overturned, charge them with insurrection.

When Trump won in 2016, some congressional democrats challenged results in several states in an effort to get the electors "to subvert the will of the American people who elected Trump by preventing the peaceful transfer of power"
Was it wrong when the democrats tried to do so?

What D. state governors and Sec. of states tried to throw out the election results? What D states passed laws to change voting laws?

"Trump didn't win in 2016???"
And Biden won in 2020. Right?
"Was it wrong when the democrats tried to do so? As Wayne has pointed out hundreds of times, the magnitude is not nearly the same."
The congressional democrats didn't engage in any violence. But they protested the electoral results of more states than the GOP did in 2020.
It was a very small number of congressional democrats who did this in 2016. Some of them are still in Congress. Did they try to subvert the will of the people?

if it’s true that he considered having the military seize voting machines in disputed states with zero evidence they were tampered with, that should be enough for no rational person to support him.
i really, really, really don’t want him to run again. I believe no one else on the planet could have defeated Hilary in 2016, and in doing so he helped move scotus away from being a group of activists willing to ignore the constitution when they felt like it. that’s a good legacy.

55% of Democratic voters would support a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines.

Under Biden, a declaration of
emergency resulted in churches being closed because public gatherings were dangerous, but BLM riots were allowed to continue and liquor stores could stay open. There have been mandates to get medicine injected into your body ( interesting from democrats who on the issue of abortion, claim that individuals have the right to make their own medical decisions). and democrats are absolutely all about censoring those with whom they disagree. that happens constantly. that’s what “cancel culture” is.
not abiding by rule of law? how many prominent democrats have been seen violating mask mandates, including the hysterical photo of a maskless Biden in a Nantucket store standing behind a sign that says masks required. ask the folks whose homes and businesses were burned by BLM in the summer of love, if democrats embrace the rule
of law? which side is dedicated to sanctuary cities, the sole purpose of which is to protect illegal immigrants from deportation, AFTER they’ve committed additional
crimes here. that’s supporting the rule of law?
there’s good and bad on both sides. but you can’t concede that.
repressing political
opponents? what was biden doing, when he told blacks that “republicans want to put y’all back in chains?”

it wasn’t a biden rant. it was a rant about you sometimes getting it right when you criticize the gop, but never being able to see flaws in the left.
the things i pointed out, what did i “imagine”? what did i say bay wasn’t true?
i never came close to saying that biden is a bigger threat than trump. never came close to saying it.
But here’s the hard math. The january 6th rioters killed zero people. Quite a few were killed in the summer of love.
that may change. if it does, i’ll
admit it.
I said trump needs to go far away. maybe it would make you happier if i said i think we should burn him
to death once and for all? what more do you want?
Biden has trampled on liberties, the courts have said so with his

Liberals are way more likely to want to censure political opponents than conservatives

scottw 02-02-2022, 11:12 AM of course you would point to a survey from this source if fits perfectly into the world of the MAGA cult
.
well....obviously :)
scottw 02-02-2022, 11:14 AM Bidens a bigger threat to America than Trump
this is accurate....
Pete F. 02-02-2022, 11:41 AM it wasn’t a biden rant. it was a rant about you sometimes getting it right when you criticize the gop, but never being able to see flaws in the left.
the things i pointed out, what did i “imagine”? what did i say bay wasn’t true?
i never came close to saying that biden is a bigger threat than trump. never came close to saying it.
But here’s the hard math. The january 6th rioters killed zero people. Quite a few were killed in the summer of love.
that may change. if it does, i’ll
admit it.
I said trump needs to go far away. maybe it would make you happier if i said i think we should burn him
to death once and for all? what more do you want?
Biden has trampled on liberties, the courts have said so with his
mandates.
Liberals are way more likely to want to censure political opponents than conservatives

politics, so they tried to ruin his life.

The FBI closed its extended background check of Kavanaugh after four days and did not interview either Blasey Ford or Kavanaugh. The FBI also disclosed to the Senate this June – two years after questions were initially asked – that it had received 4,500 tips from the public during the background check and that it had shared all “relevant tips” with the White House counsel at that time. It is not clear whether those tips were ever investigated.
The FBI said in its letter to two senators – Sheldon Whitehouse and Christopher Coons – that the FBI did not have the authority under the 2010 MOU at the time to “unilaterally conduct further investigative activity absent instructions from the requesting entity”. In other words, the FBI has said it would have required explicit instructions from the Trump White House to conduct further investigation under the existing 2010 guidelines on how such investigations ought to be conducted.

or that he drank beer once in high school.
Pete F. 02-02-2022, 02:36 PM Actually they would have found that he was as described at Yale if they interviewed some of the 4000 reports they received instead of turning them over to the White House.
Now back to how Trump was never convicted

We always can count on Pete persuading us with powerful suppositions which might possibly come close enough to actually being true.
wdmso 02-03-2022, 01:17 PM Ohio secretary of state finds 27 potentially illegal votes
out of 6 million Cast
Investigation finds only 475 cases of potential voter fraud in battleground states won by Biden looks like there is no issue with voter integrity . unless your a republican?
But for the Cult 475 case proves voter fraud exist and their conspiracy it proven
but voter Fraud looks like this
A Wisconsin man who mistakenly thought he could vote while on parole.
A woman in Arizona suspected of sending in a ballot for her dead mother.
A Pennsylvania man who went twice to the polls, voting once on his own behalf and once for his son.
There was no widespread, coordinated deceit... but dont tell Republicans or Trump fans just more fake news :bgi:
