I believe he's suggesting that powerful men, like Bill Clinton (and Paul Pelosi, no doubt), have avoided prosecution in this situation. It's a fair point, but one that was poorly stated and also doesn't mention Trump's expressed love of underaged girls. Or what happened to Prince Andrew, one of the most protected men on the planet.
It also showed a healthy ignorance about the way criminal proceedings actually proceed in this country.
Why is nobody in jail but Ghislaine? Must be a conspiracy to protect Bill Clinton, for sure, like the way he got away with drug smuggling at the Mena Airport and killing Vince Foster. Ask Prince Andrew how it's going these days, if he wasn't protected, who was?
You know that I'm not hiding Trump? The guy who famously barged in on underage girls getting dressed at a beauty show he was sponsoring? Who said that Epstein, like himself, liked young women?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-called-epstein-a-terrific-guy-before-denying-relationship-with-him/2019/07/08/a01e0f00-a1be-11e9-bd56-eac6bb02d01d_story.html
The local news never reported cops body cams showing Pelosi opening the door. That's bullshit and you know it. That would have meant that the cops were there when he opened the door, right? That's just too stupid to think about.
Regardless, by spreading malicious lies, you have lain down with dogs and have lost whatever slim bit of credibility you hallucinated you previously had..
The following craziness is brought to you, by you:
"Just as an example the "authorities" won't release the surveillance or body camera tapes from the Paul Pelosi assault. Why not? The only reason not to is that what's there renders irrevocably false the story told thus far."
You wrote that and expect to be taken seriously ever? It's very hard to imagine why you would participate in spreading innuendo / lies along these lines, and, equally important, what is your freakin' point?
Thanks. Biden nailed it a couple of weeks ago when he read out the names of some R Congress people who voted against the infrastructure plan then asked for money after it passed. And then were willing to take credit for securing the money.
Do they have any ideas? It's a mystery as to why a bunch of people who hate government want to run it. I guess for the power and $$$ and, for many of them, being too stupid to be able to succeed in the business or non-profit sectors. I mean, how far up the corporate ladder would a numbskull like Jim Jordan be able to climb?
The lunacy of the Republican party has been steadily building since the McCarthy era. And now, as its logical conclusion, the inmates are truly running their asylum.
Tom Tomorrow is, and has been for a while, a national treasure, thanks for re-posting.
In New York State, Democrats far and wide ran terrible campaigns, from Hochul on down.
It's a measure of how repugnant Republicans are now perceived that the D's were nevertheless able to defend and win some new seats.
The Republican brand is shot. That they could make no headway in the face of Biden's (undeserved) unpopularity tells you how bad things have become for them.
They propose no ideas to help the economy, or for infrastructure, or for health care reform, or to curb gun violence. Anyone who's been on a train in Europe in the past few years, knows well how far behind in public transportation we've become. All because of Republican obstructionism in Congress.
As long as they keep pushing to curb women's reproductive health care rights, condemn climate change and environmental issues as unimportant, have fealty to the NRA, offer no potentially bipartisan solutions to anything, condone militias, and continue to attempt to limit access to voting, their party is in a well deserved death spiral.
Conservatives in America have been bellyaching about the curriculum in public schools since the Reagan era.
CRT is just the latest ploy in their tireless efforts to discredit the very concept of public schools as they push for more religion, i.e., Christianity, as the educational context for children.
They're just continuously throwing stuff up against the wall, hoping something will stick. CRT, grooming children to be trans, whatever, it's a worthless din.
Meanwhile, I think the most interesting development on this board, in the while I've been here, has been the total disappearance of those few people (the same person?) who were relentlessly pushing Putin's talking points about the disaster of all things Biden, the waste of aiding Ukraine, and the inevitable Red wave.
Some military analysts who I've heard interviewed recently, thought that Putin's last great hope to win his war was for the R's to take Congress and cut off funding for Ukraine.
After the Biden victory, you guys were complaining that more people voted in some states than are registered. Of course it was proven false but Trump is still blathering on with that narrative.
Now you're complaining that not enough people vote, which has actually been the case all along. Hey, if you want your vote counted, vote. After 2 or 3 years of your Dear Leader casting doubts about the validity of elections, without a shred of proof, are you really surprised that many in his cult decided it's not worth voting?
I guarantee that women voted, look at how the Handmaiden votes went in those states. If your guys won't get out the vote then shut the fuck up, you have no one to blame but yourselves.
Otherwise, if you have a point, I'm not getting it.
And don't forget that old favorite, tax fraud. Letitia James is formidable and not messing around.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
What happened to those few guys who were posting here regularly, continuously, about they joy they were finding in looking forward to the inevitable red wave?
No sign of them today, maybe they're sick, their stomachs ache from having eaten so much shit yesterday.
We held off Zeldin in NY, which is a major deal, but I guess too many oldsters stuck by DeSantis. Glad to see it looks like Lake will lose, she's a scary one, as is another loser, Walker. And Oz. In other good news, Palin is down over 20% in Alaska.
And speaking of old ladies, where are the ones who were smirking around here about an inevitable red wave? Reality has a way of biting you in the ass, doesn't it? Just ask Dear Leader.
Anyone see the article, with photos, of DeSantis partying with high school students when he was their teacher? A man of sterling character, for sure - please let him be the Republican nominee in 2024.
Written by someone who finds Tucker credible, too funny. Even the Fox network has claimed in court that his program isn't fact based.
Sticks and stones, dude, grow up.
I think we can all notice that you actually didn't refute my theory that you live no where near any border and your life hasn't been impacted at all by immigration.
But keep going with the baseless scare tactics and name calling, characteristics of a not-stupid person, amirite?
mistake
All those filthy immigrants, bringing fentanyl and getting ready to rape your women and take your job picking vegetables.
Let me guess, you live at least 1000 miles from the border and your life hasn't been impacted by immigration at all.
But the brown people! They're going to replace us! (and a good thing that will be)
No, not questioning your patriotism, I can't see what you've ever written that would make someone do that.
Baeder Meinhoff Gang, that was a violent era all around. The year Patty Hearst was kidnapped, 1974, the FBI claimed there were about 2000 bombs set off in the US.
"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" - said in 1775, applicable to the MAGAshits today.
Just as an aside, I didn't serve in the military and strongly encouraged my son not to, as well. If that makes us pussies, well, whatever, sticks and stones.
When was the last time our military actually defended our country? For that I would have enlisted, but not to invade Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq. I mean, what the fuck was the point of any of that?
Do you read? Or do you just ignore stuff you don't like?
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/crime-rate-by-state
Or maybe you just make shit up and think by repeating it enough that somehow it will be true or people will believe you.
https://housegrail.com/most-dangerous-states-in-us/
Either way, surely you can count. So why not get back to us about how many of the most dangerous states are red and how many are blue.
Do you know what makes "a women a women"? I realize probably not by personal experience, but go upstairs and ask your mom or dad, maybe.
Ooooh, you're not afraid to use a gun, how macho!
Hah. Don't forget tax fraud, it's also on deck.
They're not capable of governing. They will shut down the government and ruin peoples' lives as part of their hissy fit about the "deep state". If they gain the majority in Congress, any meaningful activity, there, will come to a halt. The inmates will truly be running the asylum.
Outlaw abortion, disenfranchise voters, cut Social Security and Medicare, cut aid to Ukraine, impeach Biden for being alive, spend large amounts of time endlessly investigating Hunter, ruin public education, what's not to like?
Not much has changed on the right since Goldwater was their nominee. They didn't repudiate their house Nazis, then, and the Birchers were the Q-anon people of their day.
There might or might not be a red wave tomorrow, no one can be certain about that. Wasn't it the MAGAts who were insistent that polls can't be trusted, a couple of years ago?
One thing we can be certain of, though, is that the day after tomorrow the indictments of the various members of the Trump Crime Family will begin to be issued.
They're on tap and ready to go, and the DOJ has been respecting the tradition of not interfering with elections by not issuing them sooner. Only someone with an advanced case of extreme myopia would not see this coming.
Boo hoo, dirty words. Is that all you have? If you're offended by cursing, imagine how women feel about men determining their options on reproductive health care, trying to control their bodies.
Sticks and stones, grow up.
Yes, I haven't read him, but he was at the Texas Book (heavily censored book list, no doubt) Festival, because the new one recently came out.
Currently reading Corn's book, American Psychosis. Everything old is new again - Ike wouldn't repudiate McCarthy, who he despised, because the base was needed to vote in Republicans and he couldn't take a chance on alienated them. McCarthy was even calling MacArthur a commie. Sounds familiar, no?
Republicans have been trafficking in lies and scare tactics in the cause of election victories for 75 years since then.
"There is a word for a movement that seeks to steal vital freedoms, spread lies, fuel violence, and sabotage free elections"—all a clear reference to Gov. Abbott and his Republican Party.
"That word is fascism." - Anand Giridharadas, in a speech at the Texas Book Festival
You mean the haters who admire Putin and who insist there's election fraud where there is none? Who are trying to allow state legislators to overturn the results of elections they don't like? Who have violently tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power? It is those people who truly hate America.
They are all working to undermine the foundational principles of our democracy and I can't think of a single Democrat to whom that applies. Trump is still claiming the election he lost was stolen - without evidence, of course - and this undermines faith in our democracy way more than protesting the casual murders of black people by police.
Again, what's the left and how does their hate manifest itself? Or are you only about making statements that can't be supported factually then running on to the next unsupportable post? What are the characteristics of people who are regarded as "left" in your opinion? I mean do you have a checklist of some sort and if someone gets a certain number of points on it, bingo, they're the "left"?
I think I noticed that you suffered damage to your home in a storm recently, for which I'm sorry. Just wondering if you're the kind of person who screams about the evils of socialism while taking FEMA handouts.
Zappa said a lot of stuff best.
Ever notice that none of the right wingers who post here can ever cite a single specific proposal that any of their preferred candidates espouse?
It's just CRT, gay grooming, Antifa, and rainbow fentanyl, 24/7. They couldn't come up with a plan for anything if our lives depended on it. The way to deal with climate change, for example, is to cling to the opinions of 2% of the scientists who claim (in non peer reviewed journals) that it's not influenced by human behavior, i.e, ignore it.
All in the service of maximizing fuel company profits. MAGA!
It must be such a simple, not to mention pathetic, way of thinking to be able to neatly divide a large heterogenous population into the "left" and the "right".
Certainly nuance doesn't exist, one couldn't be, say, fiscally conservative but liberal on social issues, like abortion.
Back in the 1960's my father used to say he was a Republican because he believed they were better for the economy and didn't start unnecessary wars.
Well, that certainly turned out to be not the case, as they've run up huge deficits and unnecessarily invaded Iraq, among other places.
All that Republicans stand for now are scare tactics. I can't think of anything else, so maybe remind us of some specific policy proposals by Republicans running in the midterms that you like.
All he does is play games. Sure, he skillfully hijacked the Republican Party to further his personal ambitions, but what has he ever done for anyone else? Other than Putin? It's all games.
Republican legislators knew he wasn't going to get Mexico to pay for a wall, knew the intelligence agencies were right about the Russian influence, knew that there was an out of control bull in a china shop. Who had no ambition beyond self enrichment.
Maybe some Republicans also understood that he would trash US standing in the world and try to thwart the democratic process at home. Some things transcend party.
Whatever.
WTF? You seriously think anyone would actually believe this nonsense? Your block has put up ads recruiting an Asian family?
One can only hope your work doesn't involve knowing how to spell.
Republican leadership has a vested interest in keeping the borders open. Look at Texas back when W was the Governor, for example - what did he do to stem the tide of illegal immigration?
And the answer is, nothing. And why not? Because his pals in the big Ag and big Ranching businesses needed the cheap labor that only illegals can provide to pad the bottom line. Need.
For all you MAGAs around here flapping your gums about inflation, what if they had to pay agricultural workers minimum wage? Exactly. The workaround is to hire illegals.
Actually, we heard it from Michael Moore first and it was a few months ago.
The Republican candidate for Governor in NY, for example, the oleaginous Lee Zeldin, has proposed no policies that anyone has ever seen and has repeatedly refused to answer questions about his plans. Besides outlawing abortion, that is.
Why don't you list a few Republican candidates' plans for, say, fighting inflation, whose ideas do you like? Or maybe fixing our crumbling infrastructure? We can wait.
No one is voting on any of their policy proposals, because they have none. It's strictly a culture war election cycle for Republicans, the sky is falling!
p.s., you're not going to lower gas prices while OPEC+ is cutting production and the US companies won't drill on sites with already approved leases.
It's odd that you continue to pick on women, like Pelosi. How the fuck is Congress supposed to pass anything when Republicans block every bill that would benefit anyone.
You're wasting your "breath".
If someone is intent on ignoring easily accessible data:
https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/10/more-999-studies-agree-humans-caused-climate-change
You might as well talk to a wall.
Do you have any links for your many assertions? Or is it just typical Breitbart / Newsmax bullshit? Because without any reported data to back them up, that what it seems like.
That might be all you said, but what you wrote was:
"maybe if the repubs take over (just six days to go)" Actually, if they win in 6 days, it will be just "two months to go" until they take over. Write what you mean.
I'm afraid I don't speak Gibberish, so I really can't tell what you mean with the rest of it.
I mean, if Pelosi is in charge and she's constantly getting death threats from the right why wouldn't she "investigate security for the Speaker"? You don't think it's already being investigated? Again, what you write makes zero sense.
Have you guys ever heard of the saying, "don't count your chickens before they hatch"?
I've never seen an uglier spectacle than the rumor mongering by the right about an 82 year old man getting beaten with a hammer by a home invader. Talk about "hatefilled" people.
Are you really this ill informed? The election is in 6 days but no one's going to take over until January. How can you pretend to know what you're rambling on about, at all, if you don't know this.
You just keep making up your fantasy scenarios, apparently it's all you know.
In 2021, they called it right 2/3 of the time. That seems like quite a margin of error, then, 33%.
At least one of Biden's kids served in the military. Where did Don Jr and Eric serve? What, actually, have they ever done for anyone other than themselves? I'd rather have a President who misspeaks on occasion than one who lies continuously.
We know that a red wave will mean a practical end to women's reproductive rights, it will codify voter suppression, possibly end gay marriage and give more breaks to the wealthy? How do you hallucinate that it will benefit you? Maybe you can more easily join a local chapter of a revived Nazi party, be a very fine person on that side?
This might be expecting a lot, but do you comprehend that the only party questioning the legitimacy of elections is the Republicans? And if you enact legislation, or elect legislators and election supervisors who want to overturn the will of the people, that it will be the end of democracy? You're cool with that, tovarisch?
It's the sound of someone who cherry picks poll results. Afraid of looking at a site with aggregate poll numbers? Typical MAGAt denial of reality.
Good Lord, if you claim to be some sort of stock market maven, which apparently you do, I hope your research about business is more informed than the crap you put on display here:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/governor/2022/new-york/
All Republicans have are scare tactics, no proposals to help with anything.
And, here, we're stuck with Mr Pond Scum, aka Lee Zeldin, trying for Gov of NY, primarily running a law and order, get tough with criminals campaign. Except, for this:
