Talking about Hilarys email handling is legit ( as is talking about trumps handling of sensitive documents). Burying Hunters laptop story, censoring those who want to discuss it, and smearing them as russian propagandists, is nonsense.

let’s see where the hearings lead. Probably nowhere.
Sure Jim, meanwhile Putin’s puppets will gladly follow orders and extend the long history of Republican windbaggery.

republican winbaggery is producing sufficiently superior results that Americans are fleeing red for blue, causing blue states to lose congressional seats and red states to gain congressional seats ( and therefore electoral votes).

meaning, the majority of americans think you’re the windbag.

Donald Trump calls for “termination” of US Constitution. This man is preferred by most Republicans as their 2024 presidential choice.

True, polls say that. Desantis hasn't declared, they haven't debated. In a one-on-one primary, Desantis would have a great chance. The problem (like in 2016) is that you'll have 10 republicans running against trump, splitting the non-Trump vote.

Trump is an unbelievable jerk. But at the same time, Americans know the country was better off in 2020 than it is today. You are too bonkers to concede that.

If the GOP can nominate someone who will advocate for similar policies to Trump's, but do so like more of an adult (and that's a huge 'if'), such a person would be very tough for any of the democrat front-runners to beat. Based on where we are today, the only democrat I wouldn't bet that Desantis would beat, is Michelle Obama. She's un-beatable in my opinion

That's the difference between me and you. I hate Michelle Obama like you hate all Republicans. But that doesn't mean I'm not rational enough to concede conclusions which I don't happen to like. I do that all the time. On your side, Paul is the only one capable of it. You, Spence, Wayne, GS...to you guys, the left has never been wrong, and everyone on the right is a Sith Lord.

We all are just too amazed by the depth of your political wisdom.
Perhaps you are a Sith Lord reincarnated.
Your vision of DeSantis vs Michelle Obama is comical.

Mr Unwoke vs Mrs Obama.

Meanwhile the man you consistently supported for years has in the last 2 weeks, pledged solidarity with the Jan 6 rioters, dined with 2 Holocaust-denying fans of Hitler, and called for terminating the Constitution. Yet he remains the front-runner and clear favorite for the GOP nomination president in 2024.

Out, damned spot! out, I say!—One, two; why, then ‘tis time to do’t.—Hell is murky!—Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him? The thane of Fife had a wife; where is she now?—What, will these hands ne’er be clean?—No more o’that, my lord, no more o’that: you mar all with this starting. Here’s the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh!

"Your vision of DeSantis vs Michelle Obama is comical."

Here's what I said..."the only democrat I wouldn't bet that Desantis would beat, is Michelle Obama. She's un-beatable in my opinion"

I said Michelle Obama would beat Desantis. You find that comical? Why? You're saying Desantis would likely beat her?

"the man you consistently supported for year"

I did not support the man. I supported the policies he advocated for. I said the man was a morally bankrupt reptile 1,000 times, yet somehow you missed it completely. Shocker.

As I said, your education didn't do you much good. You made up a fabricated quote and got caught, you said it's a lie that girls locker rooms are becoming co-ed when they are, you think it's comical that I said no one on the right can beat Michelle Obama (that's what 'un-beatable' means), you think the victor is the victim, and you think calling someone a morally bankrupt reptile, is supporting that person.

To quote the same movie in regards to you, "truly you have a dizzying intellect", Pete. Simply dizzying.

You should take this up with your therapist. I think we see the issue now.
