    Well, actually now that I think about it, it's pretty clear to me that the president was in the wrong. It just seems like the republicans will not see it the same way that the democrats do no matter how it's worded. What I mean by that is, we hear these testimonials and time after time they try to force a phrase down the others throat. They try to put words in each others mouths. It seems like a real media circus to be honest. I think that it will dissolve as such. Americans are definitely interested in honesty. But what they're getting is garbage. The stuff they're showing is pathetic. No one can feel proud about this amount of disagreement in our government.

    Do you honestly think it sounds out of character? I think it's under the radar so to speak. I mean, it'd be obvious were it someone else, but it's him. He gets away with everything. What can we hope for? A news cycle of trash talk among politicians? I do see what you're saying about my post, but I don't think you should hold me in low regard over it. What I'm saying is it doesn't seem like they have him. He's getting away with it again. We can't impeach him for this because it's not being taken seriously by the republicans. They think it's insignificant.

    I was clearly being ironic. If I had a nickle for everytime someone on the right wing of this eagle has told me to leave for voicing any sort of dissatisfaction with the country..I would have quite a few nickels lemme tell ya
    Not sure what irm has to do with anything
    And you seem to be the one spreading negativity here. If it offends you that badly that other people like talking about politics, there's a simple solution to avoid offense
     
  4. The weird thing is that Trump didn't say that. Instead Schiff did, as a "parody" that was instantly spread like a cheesy fart in a Disney ride by the media.

    It's just the latest flavor of the "we gotta get Trump" psychosis being ginned up by the left. It will likely cost them the 2020 election, but the far left democrats do not care. They want to take Trump down in as humiliating a manner as possible.

    In the mean time, they humiliate themselves as he routinely trolls and plays them. It's as if they think he's going to act like a republican and take it on the chin, as usual. But he's not a real republican nor a democrat. He's a people-pleasing hybrid of the two. He saw an opening and took it.

    JR would be so proud!
     
  5. If Biden is the nominee, there are a lot of people who won't be inspired to vote. Whereas Bernie or Warren, I can only imagine that establishment Democrats won't vote. It's a quagmire.

    This is the headline from the New York Times
    I certainly hope they're not misappropriating or lying.

    It was a paraphrase.

    Here's part of what Trump said:

    So why are Trump administration personnel shitting themselves over the possibility of being subpoenaed to a Congressional hearing. A senior member of staff, when he learned of investigation has instantly resigned ???
     
  11. We're in uncharted territory with Trump. An actual republican would have already thrown in the towel and started looking for a cushy corporate or lobby position. But Trump is not an actual republican. So instead of facts from the democrat side, we get "parody" and subpoenas for everything down to parking spaces. Meanwhile, the rest of the Americans are stagnating while the Washington elite plays checkers with our resources and time.

    I still think this latest crap was cooked up by the DNC to get Biden out of the way while being able to blame it on Trump (brilliant actually). This is of course to once again force the "making of history" gag the democrats have such a hard on for these days. Fuck qualifications, we have to "make history". Of course Trump himself is a major mark in that history since he so handily made both parties look like the fools they are (and continues to do so). I almost wish we could have Jimmy Carter again, he took it on the chin like a man.

    I think you give the DNC too much credit for actually having their shit together. The republican party attracts the wolves, while the democratic party attracts all the vultures. The wolves kill everything in sight, while the Vultures lead them to their prey and pick the bones clean. Jimbo was the last real president we had.

    The spin I've seen put on this is so...fascinating in a way, how people justify things

    Let's try it this way.

    Obama used taxpayer funded aid as leverage to bribe a Ukranian official into digging up dirt on a political rival during the election. And hid the conversation along with other conversations on a secret server intended only for information classified for national security purposes.

    Somehow I dont think the same people would be bending over backwards to justify it in that case

  14. There's a lot that doesn't add up. So many ways to distract Americans.
     
  15. If not for Iran, he might have won another term. Instead, Jimmy made the US look weak on the world stage and we've been fighting that reputation since. Kind of reminds me of the premise for the original Death Race movie where the US lost a war against France!

    Jimmy didn't make the US look weak, he made democrats look a little too generous with the taxpayer's money right as the economy hit bottom. He was the real deal, but Reagan and Bonzo were what the public demanded. Sadly, Reagan never had to sell weapons to Iran. The public will storm the palace the minute the economy goes south, and will elect another democrat thanks to Donald Duck. They are fucking chickens, and all you have to do is throw corn. Jimmy was homegrown Georgia corn, Reagan was Hollywood corn, Clinton is Arkansa corn, the Bushes Texas, and Donald Duck is Yankee corn, fast talker. That's how he stomped all over the republican party leaders, who are lucky if they can put two coherent sentences together.

  17. Which is why Trump went after them first. Infiltrating the democrats wouldn't have been much more difficult, but probably would have cost him more money. The republicans and democrats didn't take Trump seriously for a fatally long period of time. But that was to be expected since the establishment, is established. Right down to the bureaucrat who audits parking tickets. How could one man hope to make a dent in such a Juggernaut?

    What's more confusing is how the democrats continued to dismiss Trump after he made fools of the republicans, especially the entire Bush family. He also marginalized Cruz and Rubio and yet, nobody complained about it being "racist" as long as it was happening to republicans. And because of this, Hispanic voters began to see a different side of American politics; one where they become the swing voters. Especially when you consider how the black American population has been marginalized into a declining percentage of the population after decades of hovering around 13%.

    When he was through with the republicans, it was relatively easy for him to deal with the Clintons. After all, Trump was part of their dirt already, he knew where some of the bodies were buried. For all we know Trump has been hatching this plan for over a decade. Hell, he might be the one who dug up GW's drunk driving arrest and fed it to the Clintons (not that it did Gore any good, but then, Gore was, Gore).

    Take a step back and imagine Trump as a billionaire on par with George Soros. Only, he doesn't operate so exclusively in the shadows. He had more power than most heads of state and now has even more (typical greedy American, right). He's donating his presidential salary because it's chicken feed to a guy like him. But it's a powerful symbolic maneuver. He's also playing to the "democrats don't tip" stereotype with a back pocket full of loose Jacksons.

    Another reason Trump may be drawing all this heat is to be flypaper for the media as they get Haley up to speed to swoop in and take the top seat in 2024 as the first woman president.

    I am not so sure that the Iran thing led to Jimmy losing the election. Gas lines, and higher fuel prices were contributing factors, also.

    where do you come up with this?
     
  20. The press counted the days the hostages were being held every night on the news programs. The media was all over the Carter family. Even Johnny Carson rode Jimmy regularly. Unfortunately Iran was the perfect vehicle for Reagan. He could talk tough without having to deliver. Which we saw later in Lebanon where he ordered a pullout, to go invade a Caribbean island populated by last-chance med school students (and some armed commies). Then we got Reaganomics and guns in the sky (high orbit).

    Jimmy was also proof that you don't need environmentalists to shut down the energy sector, it can be accomplished through sheer incompetence. Jimmy's solution; wear a sweater.
