Disgraceful,
Fat, ugly, vile disgusting middle-aged gay men dressed up as fat, ugly, vile disgusting middle-aged women now allowed to perform drag shows in church.
They make a mockery of religion for a living yet they’re invited to perform adult entertainment in church. Pathetic.
Doesn’t surprise me that the church allows this since a good portion of church leaders are pedophiles and homosexual men who have a lot in common with these freaks.

1767: Just recently got a prescription. It helped a little. But, I think I might also have low-T.
1768: I don’t think Kasich has changed.
1771: Why would we want to deport people when we don’t have enough workers.
OK. I think we launch a hostile takeover of HHR, and boot our friend Dave W. out and send him to conversion therapy if he REALLY thinks it’s a sad day Hogan, the RINO, won’t run.
Actually, I think it’s a GLORIOUS day for Amerika because Hogan would embrace a great deal of what the Dems would advocate.
Hogan may be considered a centrist in MD or maybe even a conservative by the radical left there, but to most of the GOP, he’s left of center that would sell out on most issues important to the GOP base.

We should deport people here ILLEGALLY since they negatively impact our society.
We have programs to bring in enough workers who go through the process legally.
It’s that simple?
6: For the past 20 years or so, they have impacted my community in a positive way. Probably a big percentage of my town has “document issues” aka illegal. They work, help the economy and increase housing demand and so increase home value.
6: my kids schools probably were impacted negatively since there was a larger number of kids with language issues without a increase in real estate tax base.
Male testosterone levels of 350+ are adequate for the over 45 age group. If you’re in that range, or even 300+, you’ll be fine.
You can increase testosterone levels by regular intense activity and exercise and losing unnecessary fat stores…
…or taking injections but then you have to monitor for other symptoms like blood clots (very rare) and increased estrogen levels (not so rare) as well so in some cases you need to then take medications to tamper down those estrogen levels or else you’ll end up with big balls and protruding breasts.
Wife and I have started working out at the gym. I think that will help.

They also increase costs in crime, education, housing for renters, healthcare issues, and depress local wages.
Not to mention they often do not pay taxes and are involved in rampant identity theft against Americans.
…and funnel drugs and sex trafficking into the U.S. more readily.
Bottom line! ILLEGAL immigration does much more harm to the US and Americans then good.
11: I disagree partly. But whatever.
Document issues.
LOL
you can’t make this sh*t up.

Thought Hogan did a fairly good job as Gov. in MD. But he is not my cup of tea for a GOP presidential candidate.
Hogan was the best we could hope for in Maryland and I am grateful for that. The current flaming liberal has already negated most of his good work in just a few weeks. Hogan needs to understand that the other side doesn’t give a rats a$$ about compromise. This is a war for the soul of America. We all need to take a side. There is no middle ground.
Vivek was impressive with no notes and teleprompter. I don’t ever remember a politician to speak like this. CPAC speech…

My daughter who worked with him last fall in the AG office said he was one impressive person and I can see why.

Somebody needs to shut Jebrah down. This is a bar comparison.
The “bush” name is tarnished over war mongering, blowing up the economy, and growing gubment.
“Jeb Bush compared DeSantis to his father, George H.W. Bush, who like DeSantis went to Yale University and was captain of the baseball team while attending the elitist institution. Jeb made it explicitly clear that he supports DeSantis’ ambitions for the presidency in 2024.”
As opposed to Trump who went to Fordham and then the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania Wharton School? DeSantis and Trump both with to elite schools. Zzzzzzzz of an issue.
Biden went to Delaware and Syracuse. Did his non-elite education make him a better President? No.
Bitter,
I thought Biden went to all Black and all Hispanic colleges and universities.

I think Hogan was fine for Maryland, certainly better than what they have now.
I agree with a lot of what he says in his statement, but I don’t think he is the guy to implement it.
If Rs want to win in 2024, they need to avoid this civil war BS.
I don’t support Hogan for the Presidency, but I am glad he wants to stay engaged.
24
According to Hogan’s statements though, engagement looks like go on all the leftist TV shows and trash Trump and DeSanctimonus and ‘splain how only centrists like them can win.
Same with Sununu. They both think the GOP nationally is more aligned with them than Trump and DeSanctimonius.
25
centrist like him, not them me’s meant.
So Trump wins CPAC poll by 40% and leftist says this is HORRIBLE for Trump even though he consistently dominates this poll since 2017 within the same range as he won this week.
No one else has come close to his total support % or spread over 2nd place in 35+ years but that’s HORRIBLE?
These radical lefties live in an alternative universe.

So, Larry Hogan who locked down like a Drat, is bashing conservatives again.
There goes party unity, thanks to the Rinos.
Hogans politics suck and he is just physically not appealing to look at.
Looks like a freak from the lands of Joe Scarfarce and Mikavonicn

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a possible Republican presidential candidate, reacts to Trump’s CPAC speech:
“If you want to heal our land and unite our country together, you don’t do it by appealing to the angry mob.”
The angry mob is upset.
Sheotty economy
Open borders.
Endless wars.
Pallets of cash unchecked.
Vax mandates (supported by Biden’s beotch).
Debt
Massive inflation.
Weakness to the Ccp.

Read @hannahdreier’s devastating and deeply reported story about the industrial-scale trafficking of child migrant workers throughout the United States. The Biden administration’s responses are woefully inadequate. https://nytimes.com/2023/02/25/us/unaccompanied-migrant-child-workers-exploitation.html?smid=tw-share
I did some back reading, and saw the A-Hole proposal to end the war. The omission of Crimea seems inconsistent with the A-Hole focus on morality as the reason for American support for Ukraine.
Regarding Hogan…I am wondering if Trumps high polling numbers are discouraging several potential candidates from running. As well as, a strong polling number two candidate DeSantis. He will wait until the Florida legislative session is over to announce with a few major wins in his quiver.
Other than based on past history you would think an announcement of a least two or three others would come in the next month or two. Not sure who that would be now. As I have posted ad nauseam I don’t see any third candidate that will make it until Super Tuesday.
Fight the fight you are in. Crimea is gone. Russia should have stopped there. Also, the reasons to support Ukraine are moral AND strategic,

Here is the skinny.
Lodi, CA
Town of 67,000
Voter fraud in 2020 election.
Voter reg. list included
–over 4000 who were born in the 1800s. (lots from 1850 and up)
–hundreds on list with no first name
–hundreds with address of the jail/prison
–hundreds of duplicate names with same birthday
–hundreds with addresses of local non profits
Etc.
All this came to light because a Lodi COUNCILMAN was arrested for RUNNING an illegal gambling operation. When the POLICE raided his house, they found stacks of ballots for 2020. When they later raided his house they found more stacks of ballots.
The crack police officials, news journalists contacted some of the people whose names were on the ballots and they were either totally unaware, or admitted they voted the wat the councilman told them or he filled in the ballot.
I thought CA voting system was top notch.

Ukraine does have a moral right to Crimea. But this war is not about Crimea, it is about Russia[s invasion of Ukraine for the purpose of toppling its government and annexing the country.
Also I disagree that my focus is on “morality”. I do think aiding Ukraine is the moral thing to do, and what the Russians are doing is profoundly immoral.
But in the bigger picture, this is about opposing Russia’s power play towards their ultimate goal of recreating a “Greater Russia” or the USSR. That has a lot more to do with protecting our interests than with “morality” per se.
As a member of the American Legion, I get their newsletters. I am pleasantly surprised on how strongly the leadership supports aid to Ukraine.
Former President Trump holds an 11-point lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis among Virginia Republicans in a hypothetical GOP primary for 2024, according to a new poll.”
Meanwhile, Asa Hutchinson is on TV talking about how Trump is “appealing to an angry mob”.
….which is the reason Asa comfortably makes the list of useful idiots.
Status quo, Marv. Thanks for asking.
These clueless RINO or Bush/Cheney Repugnantclins just don’t get it. The world has changed. The majority of the base does not trust them or want their brand any longer.
You can’t insult your way into the WH. How elitist!
Jeb and establishment GOP endorsing DeSanctimonius will probably sink him once they get to the debates and people focus and see who’s supporting who.
DeSanctimonius needs money to run. If he has to bow to the establishment, good luck with folks embracing him.
He’s in a pickle! He wants to run like Trump but the Big Donors don’t want another Trump. They want someone to do their bidding like GWB.
So, should railroad tracks be turned into public infrastructure? Or just regulate the companies a bit more to make them more safe?

Ukraine Asks Merrick Garland To Leave As They Already Have Enough Corrupt Government Officials
https://babylonbee.com/news/ukraine-asks-merrick-garland-to-leave-as-they-already-have-enough-corrupt-government-officials
Tina is a beotch.
Trump has the loyalty of many, not because he’s their ideal type of guy they want as a friend or to marry their loved ones, but because he’s a fighter and will not back down to the ruling class and MSM that take the base for granted.
He’s their voice! That’s why he appeals as much to working class moderates (previous Dems) as to Bible thumping Christians.
They accept him for what he is because he fights the good fight for THEM!
The GOP elite will NEVER understand that since they view the base as cattle to herd…no disrespect to CashCow.

Look at the root cause of these accidents and hold those responsible accountable.
It could be companies’ personnel, policies or cutting corners in safety, STOOPID regulations, or infrastructure issues.
Either way, Mayor Butt has been a complete failure and shown he is not ready for the Big Time. He should resign in disgrace and go back to hanging with perverted and pedophile mayors he’s supports.
He has pretty much destroyed his future political aspirations with continued failures and deaf tone.
Tgca: Dems are eager for Trump to be the nominee.
The country brutes will get their nominee but not their President.
Yeah, mayor Butt has indeed destroyed what meager political future he may have ever had. The woke nothingburger couldn’t even fill the potholes while he was in charge of South Bend. Another Biden diversity appointment with no qualifications. Fits right in with the rest of his appointments.

NEW – Jill Biden says it is “ridiculous” to test politicians older than 75 for mental competency.
Boody plug is incompetent. It’s a pattern with the administration that flows from the top down.
At least they have their safe spaces.
Mental competency is not a constitutional requirement. But, both Biden and Trump will have doctors saying they are mentally ‘fit as a fiddle.’
Too bad that cn and n covered this up.

Credibility crisis: CNN boss ordered staff not to chase down COVID lab leak theory as pandemic…
Tina,
We still don’t know that it was a lab leak. It’s a possibility. F&*CK YOU UP THE AS%
Mental competency is not a constitutional requirement”
Neither is posting here, as Paul makes it clear.
I apologize. I am a stupid and insane person.
“So, should railroad tracks be turned into public infrastructure? Or just regulate the companies a bit more to make them more safe?”
-First, why don’t we see what the cause of the derailment was. Leave government hands off as much as possible, as nothing good comes from another layer of bureaucracy.
2nd – if the company did not maintain their tracks properly, the legal system should be able to help those affected. Insurance companies also have a responsibility to check out the companies they insure. Heavily fine the companies involved if they didn’t do their jobs well.
3rd – I would think that the feds already have plenty of regulations that they need to enforce on the owners of the tracks. My bet is that the government was lax in their inspection……..maybe the inspectors had children in the past 2 years, and were on maternity leave…….
“Mental competency is not a constitutional requirement. But, both Biden and Trump will have doctors saying they are mentally ‘fit as a fiddle.’”
-Paul, what do you feel has improved over the last 2+ years, since Trump left office?
60 Paulie
The expectation is that POTUS can execute his duties though I agree a set age is neither required or necessary.
The difference is Trump has not exhibited any signs of cognitive decline where it’s clear to any person with even a minute amount of grey matter that Biden has declined substantially. Just look at videos of 5 years ago versus now.
Many people are cognitively sharp into their 70s and 80s even when they slow down physically. Unfortunately, that is not the case for Biden, and it’s why they try to limit him publicly as much as possible.
64
No apologies necessary.
WE ALREADY KNEW you were STOOPID and insane.
Larry Hogan’s not running for President, and Dave Wissing is upset?
Why exactly?
What types of issues will NOT be campaigned on and/or for by the other Republicans who may run in 2024 that only Hogan would run on?
65
I don’t agree the gubbermint should be hands off on safety issues. It’s their job to ensure safety for the public, though I agree assessment should be honest, efficient, and not unduly burdensome.
I can recite for hours examples where companies, left to their own devices without proper oversight will lie, cheat, steal, and impact safety. There is a history going back years and still today. Look at Big Pharma as one example. You think they’re being fully transparent?
I trust neither gubbermint nor companies alone in these matters.
“I don’t agree the gubbermint should be hands off on safety issues.”
-Tgca,
“as much as possible” means something.
Thanks.

Also, if Norfolk Southern was negligent, sue them and fine them YUGE amounts of money.
Insurance companies have a vested interest in making sure the companies keep up on maintenance of their tracks……make them pay as well if they didn’t do their job!

When you’ve seen the fraud and negligence I’ve seen in business for decades, you’d know why we need gubbermint oversight that is meaningful, efficient, and unduly burdensome. I know of fraud and negligence by the most trusted of people.
I bet you’d be whistling a different tune if you lost your life savings because a bank or financial institution was fraudulent or negligent because there was no oversight.
We mind as well say we don’t need law enforcement and just let the people protect themselves too.
It’s naive thinking. If that’s the case. why do we need gubbermint at all?
Why do we need a US?
Just leave it to everyday people to figure it out without any gubbermint…then watch our society collapse into complete chaos and anarchy.
You have no concept how much fraud and negligence is out there daily by business, including big business.
Tgca,
AGAIN – what don’t you understand about “Leave government hands off as much as possible, as nothing good comes from another layer of bureaucracy.”
I am not an absolutist about government regulation, one way or the other.
I prefer as little as possible, when appropriate.
As for my life savings, it is a constant question I ask, especially after living through the last 20 years. I know several people who worked at or in conjunction with Lehman and Bear Stearns, and I saw what happened to them.
“You have no concept how much fraud and negligence is out there daily by business, including big business.”
-Got it.
So the answer is to put more trust in…….wait for it……..G O V E R N M E N T!
You are NVTS!
73 NYC
There’s where your argument fails.
How can you sue and investigate and levy penalties without oversight in the 1st place?
Oversight is needed for compliance. You’re arguing for compliance without realizing you’re arguing for oversight.
No one is debating senseless unduly burdensome regulations are problematic but remember a lot of these regulations stem from new fraud and negligence that routinely pops up that was not previous precedent.
It’s kind of like case law. Case law is built as new situations arise because previous laws did not exist to catch the types of prohibited or detrimental activities.
Liz Cheney’s worth went from $7 million to $44 million in like 10 years. She put Buffett to shame with her “investing prowess”.
And Pelosi did just as well.
But, Tgca says we need more government regulation to make sure there is less fraud and negligence.
Oh Lord!
You’re tiresome, Tgca.
You are arguing with me by making up arguments I didn’t make.
Cheers.
75 NYC
I can argue the opposite.
Nothing good comes from lack of oversight.
Again, would you put your life savings in a financial institution that has no gubbermint oversight?
Would you live in a city with no law enforcement?
Would you send your kids to school with no background checks on school personnel?
Your ignorance of business and naive view of the world makes it a less safe place.
…and by the way, ost fraud cones from trusted people, including relatives and small businesses often engage in more fraud then large companies.
Perhaps before you speak on these matters you should do research on fraud and negligence in society.
That is disgusting that their wealth increases like that while in office.
Knowing the lies, they will probably say well it’s due to her husband blah, blah, blah, like they said with Piglosi.
LOL!
Tgca, are you also Paul, just more wordy?
Maybe someone from the government needs to check in on YOU!
“Would you live in a city with no law enforcement?”
-Thank the Good Lord I live in the good part of NYC, because there ain’t much enforcement going on!!
And anyway, enforcement doesn’t work.
Only “comprehensive, and shiny, new laws” work.
For Tgca –

“He then cited Reagan’s understanding that government has a vital role to play, but it can be a “negative force if not applied properly.” That understanding, he said, guided him during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
79
….and you’re IGORENT as Hell on the gubbermint’s role with no life experience on past and current fraud and negligence, and how it impacts society.
In some industries, 10% or more of revenue is spent to deter fraud. Without gubbermint oversight, it would probably be 50% or more.
Fraud and negligence drive up consumer costs, a well known fact. Without oversight, consumer costs would sky-rocket.
Again, go put your life savings into a financial institution that has no oversight.
Move to an area with no law enforcement.
Send your kids to a school with no background checks.
You continuously whine and complain about what should be done to those that wronged society and voters without realizing you’re arguing for the gubbermint to take action to stop it from happening again and that’s called OVERSIGHT.
You’re at war with yourself and don’t realize it.

…and DeSanctimonius kept Floreedah at least partially closed down through most of 2020, paid people to stay home through mid-2021, threatened to take away business licenses of businesses that did not comply with his EO’s following Dr. Fow-chee and CDC guidance, pushed vaxes but refuses to state whether he’s taken more than one vax, etc…
…and let’s not forget the optics of him struggling to put on a face mask while standing outside and have it dangling from his face like a diaper but now ridiculing people on face masks.
Now he lies about what he did during Covid when there’s a clear record of his actions.
I don’t fault him or any gubbernor for making some decisions early on that did not pan out but to BOLDLY LIE about them now is why I don’t trust him.
He is a master of rewriting history or taking small things and ballooning them out as if they’re major issues.
DeSanctimonius and Floreedah state GOP are the Right’s version of Newsom and Caleefawnyuh state Dems. They’re both extreme!

Should Big Pharma be investigated for vaxes?
Should DOJ/FBI have independent review of their decisions targeting Trump and friends?
Should state politicians that ILLEGALLY violated voting laws in 2020 have judicial interference of those actions so they don’t happen gain?
Should schools be investigated for trying to indoctrinate young children into lifestyles out of the norm of society?
These are just a few of the things you routinely whine about that would require gubbermint OVERSIGHT to address them.
So do you want gubbermint oversight or not? Make up your mind!

“So do you want gubbermint oversight or not? Make up your mind!”
-Tgca,
If you can show me where I said I don’t want any government oversight, or where I said that government oversight is NEVER NEEDED, then I will gladly answer your question.
Otherwise, go see your therapist.

“These are just a few of the things you routinely whine about that would require gubbermint OVERSIGHT to address them.”

Sunlight is the best disinfectant!
#98 – Tgca,
Anything yet?
Better yet, let me write up a shopping list. You can pick them up for me on the way home from the therapist, for my kind advice to you.
95
Most people who moved to Floreedah in the recent 2 years are not moving here because of DeSanctimonius but because they can work remotely and not pay taxes or retire more cheaply than in many other states.
The price of housing in south Floreedah is driven up by many in NYC area escaping to live here cheaper and avoid taxes, which were in place for decades.
These are NOT GOP voters mostly in south Floreedah and they only came because their companies allow them to work from home and they have driven up costs for locals.
It should also be noted drug overdoses and homelessness have increased significantly in Floreedah under DeSanctimonius. Does he get credit for that too?
It’s called cause and effect you IDIOT!
Now tell us what Schumer did today to bake you his proud supporter.
102
I provided your whining list in 94.
You whine for more gubbermint oversight without realizing it.
“It should also be noted drug overdoses and homelessness have increased significantly in Floreedah under DeSanctimonius. Does he get credit for that too?”
-I would have to see what the policies are.
Are they the same as the policies in San Francisco, NYC, Chicago, Detroit etc etc etc?
The I would definitely blame DeSantis.
Oddly enough, I doubt it, but would love to find out.
-Tgca,
If you can show me where I said I don’t want any government oversight, or where I said that government oversight is NEVER NEEDED, then I will gladly answer your question.
Otherwise, go see your therapist.
That was #98.
Copy-and-paste where you saw me write I don’t want any government oversight, ever.
Come on fish-life-alterer, show me.
Now your moving goal posts.
On more than one occasion when I challenged DeSanctimonius sycophants to PROVE to me what laws he passed that made everyday people’s lives better I got STOOPID responses like smacking down Disney or appointing Ben Sasse to a university president post, for which you then posted what made him a good gubbernor was not signing in new laws and adding oversight. In other words, he took a hands off approach.
But the fact is, DeSanctimonius has been busy with a number of oversight laws that call for more gubbermint oversight, not less.
So again, you contradict yourself when DeSamctimonius signs laws with gubbermint oversight like:
A board to manage Disney district,
Establishing school curriculums,
Requiring public universities to report on health and behavioral care of LGBTQ students,
Creating a DEPORTATION board to monitor and remove ILLEGALS from Floreedah,
etc
etc
etc
DeSanctimonius has been quite busy adding more oversight just like Newsom and Hochul, just different politics but you excuse that away.
My point is not whether these laws are valid or not but that he us as busy as Newsom and Hochul with overreach in gubbermint.
DeSantis is on Hannity tonight. His bromance with Trump is over.
Got it.
I never said that there should be NO oversight, but you keep arguing with me for no reason.
Thanks for playing.
“DeSanctimonius has been quite busy adding more oversight just like Newsom and Hochul, just different politics but you excuse that away.”
-Ummmmmm, if you are speaking about Disney, because of their stance with WOKE IDEOLOGY, they will now have to deal with the same government apparatus that SeaWorld, Universal and any other amusement park has to deal with.
That’s not adding any new rules, that is leveling the playing field.
“Establishing school curriculums,”
-Should parents know what is being taught?
Should parents be allowed to question those making the curriculum?

From 40,000 feet up, DeSantis is in great position.
Win or lose, this is presumably Trump’s last run (although he could also run until he is 100 if he loses). Will Tgca be trashing DeSantis in 2028 or is this just a pro-Trump thing?
So now radical right-winged Floreedah politicians want to require bloggers to register with the state if they post about state politicians because they should be treated as lobbyists.
This is widely reported upon today. This is crazy! The Floreedah GOP is out of control and damaging the GOP nationally. Even Newt Gingrich came out against this and calls it CRAZY!
So here’s proposed legislature the last few weeks by the Floreedah GOP:
Public universities must submit information on LGBTQ student’s seeking behavioral and mental health issues including what off-campus facilities and counselors they are referred to see.
Disenfranchise minority voters by outlawing any political party from participating in elections and holding office if their party supported slavery in the past which we all know was the Dem party and now has mainly minority voters.
Requiring bloggers to register with a state agency if they post about state politicians, and that agency will track them.
Make it easier to sue media for defamation against reporting on politicians and other noted people in the state.
Creating a deportation office to round up and deport ILLEGAL immigrants from the state to other states even when the federal gubbermint has issued them temporary stays.
If you don’t see these as EXTREME, then you’re blind!
…and they keep bragging because of the GOP Super Majority, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Floreedah has become Caleefawnyuh!
This is not what the GOP should stand for. It’s CRAZY RIGHT-WING CHIT!

When in fact he commissioned the article, and in fact had final editorial say over its final form.”

DeSantis is doing very well in the state polling. He’s either tied or in the lead in Iowa, New Hampshire, Virginia, California, and Alabama. And that’s before he even officially decides whether to run for president.
On the other hand, the twice impeached idiot who lost to Joe Biden is doing well in national polling. He’s not over 50% though, despite being a former president. That could be a warning sign for the man who is spending his time recording the Star-Spangled Banner with January 6th rioters in prison.
We’ll see how things shake out once the race is fully joined this Summer, but in 2012 most in this forum were convinced Romney was going to win based on national polls even though the state polls told a very different story.
Always go with state polls over national polls, especially when we’re much closer to an actual election.
Here is a random thought.

Which is why I am supporting another candidate…he doesn’t deserve having a second chance. I am tired of all the excuses. Excuses make you feel better about things when you shouldn’t. Foreign policy, deregulation and naming 3 SCOTUS judges are the best we got from him. He did nothing to address that swamp and it drowned him instead.

Your thoughts on this NY Times article about who the finger is pointing at with respect to the explosion of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Does it change anything?
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4136324/posts
JeffP and fellow conspiracy theorists hardest hit.
“WASHINGTON — New intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year, a step toward determining responsibility for an act of sabotage that has confounded investigators on both sides of the Atlantic for months.
U.S. officials said that they had no evidence President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine or his top lieutenants were involved in the operation, or that the perpetrators were acting at the direction of any Ukrainian government officials.”
Does it change anything?”
No. I don’t really care who blew up the pipeline and think it is completely irrelevant as pertains to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Even if Biden personally pushed the button that detonated it, Russia is still the invader, still committing war crimes, and still has to be expelled from Ukraine.
If the Ukrainians blew it up in retaliation for what Russia has done in the Ukraine, can your really blame them.
ho is spending his time recording the Star-Spangled Banner with January 6th rioters in prison.”
LOL
This from someone who actually believed the now obviously debunked theory of an “armed insurrection” his heroes Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, etc. tried so hard to sell.
Sheeple – “Suggests” is a Zzzzzzzzz. Even IF a pro-Ukraine group did it, Zzzzzzzzzzz. Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians were murdered, more were injured, raped, kidnapped, or tortured, and millions were forced into refugee status. Thousands of square miles of Ukrainian territory were seized. The Ukrainian economy has been shattered.
None of that changes based on that article.
Not to mention Amoral Scumbag.

Not the point. The “short lived” because of the pandemic and Biden is irrelevant. What is relevant is that Trump can run on repeating it.

Yep. I used to watch Tucker and liked him, not because I agreed with him on everything (I didn’t, some of the hatchet jobs he did on Rs were really bad…he did one on Kelly Loeffler about insider trading which turned out be unmitigated BS) but because I enjoyed him inviting moonbats on his show and then destroying them.
I have not watched him since he became a Putin stooge and a star on Russian state TV and never will again, but I hope he does a good job with the videos and debunks the J6 committee’s fantasies.
So, wait, Russia didn’t destroy its own pipeline at a time when the revenue was needed?
C’mon man….
Actually, Carlson’s first night on the videos was a very good start in exposing the Jan 6th sham. I am looking forward to what he has teed up for the rest of the week.
1. Bitter, jason &SDC:
‘Your thoughts on this NY Times article about who the finger is pointing at with respect to the explosion of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Does it change anything”
I highly doubt the Ukrainians blew up the pipeline, but I can see them willingly taking credit for it.
Tgca’s despicable attempt to blame the Golden Calf for the bill introduced by an individual legislator goes up in flames.
“DeSantis: I totally reject the blogger registration bill and had nothing to do with it
Floridian 2:00 PM on March 07, 2023
“Every person in the legislature can file bills. I see these people filing bills and there are these articles with my face on the article,” bloggers are going to have to register with the state,” attributing it to me,” said Gov. DeSantis. “That’s not anything I’ve ever supported, I don’t support. I’ve been very clear on what we are doing.”
So, wait, Russia didn’t destroy its own pipeline at a time when the revenue was needed”
Actually, it is not that far fetched.
The pipeline was not “destroyed”, it was damaged in a couple very small sections, and it can be repaired. 99.9999% of the pipeline is still there.
So the Russians could have blown it up to garner support internally.
It is certainly more plausible than the Norwegians.

As usual, Jadon is late to the party and short on facts.
Glad to see DeSanctimonius said that NOW, a WEEK after the bill was introduced and it’s had wide spread reporting and condemnation across the political spectrum including Newt Gingrich and freedom of speech advocates calling it CRAZY.
Mind you, upon inquiry on this bill, a rep from his own office said he would review the bill 1st before deciding if he would sign it.
Why did DeSanctimonius wait a WEEK until after Newt Gingrich and other high profile people condemned it?
How come he hasn’t condemned the similar bill calling to disenfranchise minority voters by disallowing any party that previously supported slavery from participating in Floreedah elections?
The people of Floreedah did a disservice to the state by giving the GOP a supermajority.
The Floreedah GOP is NOW the most radical legislature in the country trying to infringe on freedom and rights of selected groups.
They are far right to the constituents of the state. They are specifically going after minority groups.
DeSanctimonius bragged about a week ago that you haven’t seen anything yet that they’re going to accomplish together before the session ends in May.
So far we see its radical right on the par of Pat Buchanan in 1992.
Why does it take the gubbernor a WEEK to condemn threats to freedom of the press? I know why! Because he’s trying to read the polls to see if it benefits him or not and on the blogger bill, the backlash has been enormous and now he comes out a week later, but only after national conservatives criticize it as EXTREME!
When your state colleagues are advocating for registering bloggers who SPECIFICALLY criticize state politicians, requiring their donors names and addresses and assessing fines, that is NOT democracy or freedom. Sounds like something they would do in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Defend DeSanctimonius all you want but I called his extremity months ago.
Mitchie does not care phil. He has more power being the minority leader.
I think the damage to the GOP will be enormous in primaries when DeSnctimonius, if he decides to run, gets repeated questions about extreme violations of rights and freedoms being pushed by the GOP party in Floreedah.
Good luck as Americans get exposure into these FAR RIGHT legislators.
DeSnctimonius still hasn’t condemned the bill on disenfranchising minority voters being pushed that will deny the Democratic party from serving office in Floreedah. That’s been out there a few weeks too and sponsored on by a recent state party leader.
These lying corrupt bastards in the media, Woke Commie Dems, and the Vichy GOP are ripping our country apart. This will not end well.
185 Tgca …Give it a rest on DeSantis. He and Trump agree on almost everything that is important. Leadership style is the main difference.

America is now learning what many of us have known for 2 years
J6 was a setup
Trump vs. DeSantis
########################################
Jeff hit nail on head concerning they both are the same on most every policy issue.
Electability in Nov., 2024? DeSantis gets edge.
Governing Style? DeSantis gets edge.
Amount of energy you pump into the D side with you being the R candidate in 2024? Trump
Diffusing a big chunk of knee jerk hatred toward the R candidate? DeSantis hands down.
Being an effective public speaker? DeSantis.
(Trump is a train wreck. Jr high name calling, arrogant, throws hand grenades–even at his own troops)
Performance in office? DeSantis.
Generates the LEAST amount of turnoff of the most voters? DeSantis.
Have the least legal baggage hanging over you? DeSantis
Least despicable person? DeSantis
Less lifetime of personal and sordid baggage? DeSantis
NOT being accused of being involved in / tied to Jan. 6 break in and illegal actions? DeSantis.
A candidate who is a younger generation from Biden and could highlight those differences in cognitive ability? DeSantis.
Being a lifelong, principled member of the GOP?
DeSantis.
Government experience Pre-presidency? DeSantis
Record of picking the right people to help accomplish their goals? DeSantis
GOP has the greatest ability to make gains down ticket? Desantis.
[I still put a lot of blame on Trump for losing R majority in Senate by picking Sessions to be AG (and then firing him anyway) and AL electing a D to the Senate. There were plenty of other good candidates for the AG job. Whoever gave Trump the advice to pull Sessions from the senate and stick him over in the AG slot was a goofball 9or maybe it wss Trump’s own goofball idea).
It was as bad a decision as Dick Cheney being put in charge of finding the best VP for Bush in 2000 run and Cheney search high and low and Cheney (coming for the NON-swing and solid R state of WY and with all my heart issues and pretty much unable to run for POTUS in 2008) told Bush “I am your best candidate for VP in 2000.” WE could have been prepping a better VP for 8 years to then run in 2008 9yes I know with the economic collapse, Obama was going to be a shoe in..]
*********************************************
Plus, you can use some of the letters in TRUMP and get “Rump” (and it rhymes with “Dump” and “Frump” and “Lump”).
While you can use some of the letters in DeSantis and spell “Saint” and “Sainted”.
Ukraine has a Hotline for Russian soldiers to surrender.
“Bound for the battlefield, sounding harried and anxious, the Russian soldier placed a hasty phone call — to a Ukrainian military hotline.
“They say you can help me surrender voluntarily, is that right?” asked the serviceman, explaining that he was soon to be deployed near the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson.
“When Ukrainian soldiers come, do I just kneel down, or what? Do you promise not to film me while this is happening?”
In fluent Russian, the hotline operator calmly assured him he’d be given detailed instructions on how to safely lay down his weapon and turn himself in.
“When you get to the front lines, just call us right away,” she said.
At a crucial juncture in an extraordinarily bloody war, Ukraine’s military is focused on one task: removing Russian soldiers from the battlefield. But faced with a foe whose ranks are known to be riddled with unwilling fighters, Ukrainian military strategists realized there might be more than one means to that end.
With that, the “I Want to Live” outreach was born, aimed at providing invading forces with step-by-step information on how to abandon the ranks. Initially run by Ukrainian police, the program has had a ramped-up, military-operated version in place since mid-September.)
On Russian-language social media, Ukrainians have spread the word about the program’s website, intended as a portal for the surrender-curious or their loved ones. It has attracted more than 13.3 million visits — 7.6 million of those from Russian territory, organizers said.
Russian soldiers also provide personal data through a chatbot on the encrypted messaging app Telegram — information Ukrainian authorities use to winnow down those who are serious about turning themselves in. The chatbot, together with the hotline, has drawn nearly 10,000 contacts, according to organizers.
Citing security reasons, Ukrainian officials declined to disclose how many surrenders have been brokered via the program. But hotline operators field calls around the clock from Russians who are soon to be mobilized, are in the midst of being deployed or are already on the battlefield. Callers might be jittery or stoic, defensive or remorseful, coolly businesslike or floridly emotional — sometimes all of those in a single conversation.”
If you support these bigots and IDIOTS, then you’re an EXTREMIST too!”

“It’s the greatest threat since the Civil War, but you cannot watch the videos.”

So anti-Putin Russians were involved in blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline —
“On the same day, the New York Times reported, citing unidentified U.S. officials who reviewed new intelligence, that a “pro-Ukrainian group” likely consisting of Russian or/and Ukrainian nationals might have carried out the attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
The intelligence suggests that the group included opponents of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, but there is no evidence of any government’s involvement in the sabotage.
The explosives were allegedly planted on the Nord Stream pipelines by experienced divers who did not work for the military or intelligence services, “but it is possible that the perpetrators received specialized government training in the past,” the publication wrote.
Interesting how this capitol police hero was never called before the joke 6 commission.

Leshiy described how Wagner Group soldiers are digging trenches while under fire from Ukrainian troops. After the trench digger is killed, another takes his place.
“So they push the dead one out and the next one comes out to dig further,” Leshiy said. “You kill the next one. And they can do this for three days in a row.”
Leshiy doubts the Wagner Group soldiers are acting with clear minds, as he reported that some are wearing only T-shirts in frigid weather.”

“Besides misleading the public, they withheld evidence for partisan political reasons that sent people to prison for far more serious crimes than they committed.

Tucker then blasted McConnell for living a life of luxury thanks to Chinese cash.

Legislation targeting LGBTQ people seeking behavioral and mental health care so you know who, when and where they are seeking treatment puts those people at risk, especially since these people have a high suicide rate. This is not EXTREME?
Legislation targeting Democrats from seeking or holding political office because the party once supported slavery in the 1800s disenfranchises minorities. This is not EXTREME?
Legislation targeting bloggers who report on state politicians, requiring the bloggers to register with the state, provide their donors and funding sources with names and addresses is a violation of freedom of speech. This is not EXTREME?
Legislation creating an office of Deportation from the state to target select minorities with Federal gubbermint temporary status permission to remain in the US is racist and a violation of federal authority. This is not EXTREME?
Legislation targeting a business because they criticize and refuse to donate money to you is not a conservative principle. This is not EXTREME?
These are only the recent legislations pushed by the Floreedah GOP and DeSanctimonius just promised they’re going to do more.
If Dems did any of this you’d all be ranting about it but when a GOPer does it, you support it.
Floreedah politicians are weaponizing gubbermint, going after those they don’t like, just like those in the DOJ and state DA offices. You think these are conservative principles.
I don’t trust the gubment
They told us Nyc was safe post 9-11 and it was toxic.

DIVIDED AMERICA
Someone (was it Obammer?) once said we have two Americas. One of privilege and wealth and the downtrodden, disenfranchised poor, blah, blah, blah.
____________________________________
I say we have THREE Americas.
ONE group and ANOTHER group have about the same numbers in their camp.
ONE is concerned about abiding by the constitution and upholding rule of law.
ANOTHER wants the opposite–and wants to find ways to circumvent the constitution and ways to ignore and not enforce laws, when you want to.
ONE is for supporting law enforcement and protecting lives and property.
ANOTHER wanting the opposite.
ONE is for securing the southern border.
ANOTHER wants no such thing.
ONE is for a strong military.
ANOTHER is opposed to that.
ONE is for personal responsibility.
ANOTHER wants to install a culture of victimhood and claims the blame of any and all flaws in society ON “society” or societal factors that cause lack of opportunity, or institutional racism and sexism.
ONE supports long-standing social institutions like family, religious organizations and other organizations like the Boy Scouts, etc.
ANOTHER does not support and works to undo those social fabrics that hold us together. For ANOTHER, government replaces God and becomes a god substitute.
ONE sees most everyone is either male or female and you make do the best you can with what you are.
ANOTHER believes there are no sexes, or hundreds of sexes, or everyone is bisexual, and people can and should change their sex every month or week depending on how they feel. And ANOTHER pushes goofy gender ideas.
ONE loves The U.S., has patriotism salutes the flag, says the pledge of allegiance and wants “America First”/”Make America Great Again”. ANOTHER hates the U.S. and wants to see it collapse. The ONE sees all the good that the U.S. has done while ANOTHER focuses only the U.S. warts. And ANOTHER says we should not display or salute the flag and say the U.S. flag triggers them.
ONE wants equality of opportunity.
ANOTHER wants equity and equal outcomes.
ONE values freedoms: speech, press, religion, assembly, free enterprise system, freedom of choices.
ANOTHER wants none of those things—ANOTHER wants to decide what they may ALLOW everyone to have.
ONE favors the importance of the individual in the economy, religion, government.
ANOTHER does not believe in the value of the individual. ANOTHER promotes “group think”, inclusion and fosters the idea that the individual must conform to the group. And rule is done by the chosen elite.
ONE thinks woke-ism is an abomination and a wrong-headed disaster.
ANOTHER thinks woke-ism is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
ONE favors reducing and controlling government spending.
ANOTHER has zero fiscal discipline and wants run-a-way government spending to give the sheep things to buy their votes so ANOTHER can stay in power.
ONE favors limited, and LESS, government.
ANOTHER favors omnipotent govt. power and MORE government.
ONE has a set of beliefs and values that are based on thinking and factual information.
ANOTHER slogans “Trust the Science”–but really does not believe that when it comes to things like defining “what is a man or a woman “or when does a fetus in the womb have life–and instead fans emotions and flames of fear to accomplish their goals and they spew emotive triggering charges of “racism”, sexism, anti-immigrant-ism, “climate change deniers,” “election deniers”, with the goal of ending any debate based on the factual merits of the issue.
ONE wants to continue to use all forms of energy power including fossil fuels.
ANOTHER wants to end all fossil fuel use immediately.
ONE believes in the value of a free enterprise system and capitalism and a hard work ethic. ANOTHER believes free enterprise and capitalism are both horrid evils that must be destroyed, and desires to end the hard work ethic mentality and replace it with a whole host of effortless entitlements bequeathed on those who make no effort.
ONE wants to have fair and secure elections. ANOTHER really does not want that.
ONE is concerned about the moral decay in America. ANOTHER does not give a hoot.
ONE looks back to the past for guidance for the present and is concerned for the future.
ANOTHER rejects the past ‘en toto’, and cannot for the life of them see or really care about the future.
################################################
So we have two groups: ONE and ANOTHER.
The THIRD group is the mushy middle who have no firm foundation of belief system themselves. They muddle along in their day-to-day life feeling that their voice isn’t important. And they are too “busy” with other “important” things in their lives to worry about and get involved in these “political battles”. They barely—if all all—pay attention every day.
The THIRD group is NOT REALIZING that their lives are being impacted GREATLY when either ONE or ANOTHER group gains the reins of governmental power. Tax rate, inflation rate, mortgage payment, cost of gasoline and energy, government regulation rate, performance level of the education system for their children, degree of personal freedom, their present condition and their future condition, etc., etc., are ALL impacted GREATLY by whether ONE or ANOTHER is in charge of things.
The THIRD group decides whether ONE wins election, or ANOTHER wins elections. By NOT being or keeping informed, by voting without being an educated voter (participating in ballot harvesting?) or by NOT VOTING AT ALL.
Thus, EVERY 4 YEARS, all of us pay the price for the THIRD group’s actions or inactions.

How about the freedom to seek medical care without politicians digging into your medical records? Are you OK with your medical records being turned over to a state office that knows who, when, and where you sought treatment?
How about the freedom of speech without gubbermint trying to silence and intimidate you by requiring you to register with the state as a blogger if you criticize a state politician? By these standards, HHR can be required to submit information if it posts anything negative about a politician in Floreedah. How would you like if Dave W. has to disclose your personal information?
How about the freedom to support a candidate or party or run for office without being told you can’t because the political party supported slavery in the 1800s?
You agree to these loss of freedoms?

Tucker Carlson’s private thoughts on Trump:
“Fox News host Tucker Carlson expressed an intense dislike of former President Trump post-2020 election text messages, according to new court filings from Dominion Voting Systems submitted in its lawsuit against the news outlet.
Details: “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait,” Carlson allegedly said in one text message to a co-worker two days before the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 4, 2021, per the filings, which were unsealed Tuesday. “I hate him passionately.””

Kash Patel calls on Tucker Carlson to release footage of undercover feds:
“Ray Epps was on FBI’s most wanted list one day, and the next day he was off. There are only two ways that happens: you die, or you are an informant. Jill Sanborn, the head of the FBI counterintelligence division, in charge of all these investigations, testified under oath when Senator Cruz asked her flat out, were there federal agents involved with January 6th? And she said, Senator, I can’t answer that now. If the answer was definitively no, she would have said, no, absolutely not.”
Looks like Sc is it.

Hopefully, a better attorney can help the shaman. What a scam.
Albert Watkins, Chansley’s attorney through sentencing in November 2021, said he had been provided many hours of video by prosecutors, but not the footage which Carlson aired Monday night. He said he had not seen video of Chansley walking through Capitol hallways with multiple Capitol Police officers.
“What’s deeply troubling,” Watkins said Tuesday, “Is the fact that I have to watch Tucker Carlson to find video footage which the government has, but chose not to disclose, despite the absolute duty to do so. Despite being requested in writing to do so, multiple times.” He no longer represents Chansley and said he could not comment on what remedy might be sought for the defendant. Watkins suggested that all Jan. 6 defendants who were convicted based on video from the riot should have their convictions vacated.

I hope if he does that, he is arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced to prison like any other person ILLEGALLY trafficking people into the U.S. because that’s exactly what he’d be doing by willfully violating federal law.
I am a fan of Djokovic and think the US should let him and any other non-vaxed person enter the US but that is not for us to decide as ordinary citizens and then take the law into our own hands.
The gubbernor of Floreedah is calling for willfully violating federal laws which is ironic because he’s passing laws to DEPORT ILLEGAL immigrants who are minorities. I guess he only wants CERTAIN types to enter the country illegally.

For starters trolling Biden about banning the greatest tennis player ever over VACCINATION status was brilliant also.
Second,find me a single comment DeSantis ever made about the blogger bill. He won’t.
The media definitely sees DeSantis as a bigger threat than Trump,and their attacks and polls are par for the course.

It’s maddening watching the Right help the communists create a false narrative every time there’s a major story. Only to come around in a year or two and act HORRIFIED that they were lied to.
This act is getting real old with me. Politicians and pundits alike.
I also hear some Senators, along with Bill Barr, advocating military strikes against the Mexican cartels.
At first glance, I’m not really sure I would be against that, BUT………I would think that first, BEFORE you call for the military to invade your neighbor, there would be a unanimous call TO CLOSE THE BORDER, ENFORCE ALL THE LAWS!
If we find out that the cartels are too powerful to be contained by robust border law enforcement, then maybe we move on to a next stage of using a military response, but that should be a last resort.
I hope if he does that, he is arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced to prison like any other person ILLEGALLY trafficking people into the U.S. because that’s exactly what he’d be doing by willfully violating federal law.”

But at least we will NEVER have to hear again from Tgca regarding millions of illegals “willfully violating federal law” so there is a silver lining.
DeSanctimonius advocating chartering a private boat to bring in Djokovic ILLEGALLY into the US because he wants him to play in the Miami Open.”

As usual Jadon twists the facts and misses the issue.
Like it or not, currently, the US has a policy that will not allow unvaxed to enter the US through ports of entry.
It’s STOOPID but it is currently federally lawful, and no one, especially state politicians have a right to override that.
It is ILLEGAL to transport any person into the US without going through a port of entry. The US Coast Guard patrols the waters in South Floreedah to specifically keep gnat from happening.
What DeSanctimonius offered to do, and he did offer it, as he specifically stated in the video, is a violation of federal law and no different than trafficking.
Anyone caught transporting people illegally is arrested. It’s a federal crime!
This is what the gubberbor of Floreedah offered. To illegally transport someone into the US.
If you accept that he can do that then you must accept transporting illegal immigration is fine which we already know Jadon supports because he’s against deporting illegals as he has stated many times before.
They are already investigating Rds for trafficking. Remember, removing the illegals from Fl in the winter?
(Stupid unjusfice dept)
282
The gubbernint has powers to prescribe regulations. Not every regulation is approved by Congress, in fact, most aren’t.
As an example, the IRS has over 10,000 pages of Regulations supporting the Internal Revenue Code detailing taxing authority. The vast majority of those regulations have NEVER been reviewed or approved by Congress but have been the law of the land for decades.
Unless a court specifically invalidates a regulation, it has the effect of law and this is evidenced by thousands of tax cases over the years.
As of this date, I believe it is DHS, has the authority to keep unvaxed people out of the country through their regulations because it is their regulation and no court has challenged their authority on it.
That’s how our gubbermint works. Regulations have the force of law until deemed otherwise.
So Jadon is wrong implying it’s not legal, especially since foreign visitors generally have no grounds to file lawsuits against the US in the 1st place.
But what is ILLEGAL, is to bring people in the US by a port of entry when US regulations have denied them entry. That’s a federal crime!
Tgca,

“WHen you throw those words around just because you disagree with their opinion then you trivialize it and making it meaningless.”
-jason,
Since we know a lot more about these tapes NOW, it is a little bit more than a difference of opinion.
The J6 Committee made a freaking Hollywood-Oliver Stone-type-movie-production, and it is clear as day that it was a load of cr*p that there was an “insurrection”.
Why would these Republican Senators speak out IN FAVOR of more such Hollywood-style “investigations”, as opposed to a pretty simple concept of FULL DISCLOSURE?

I agree with DeSanctimonius on the principle of the argument that keeping the unvaxed out of the country is wrong. As someone who is not vaxed and will NEVER be vaxed, I sympathize with Djokovic, who I greatly admire.
I just think it’s wrong for a gubbernor to willfully break federal law and brag about it. This is reminiscent of the gubbernors of the Deep South violating AA rights by disregarding federal law and bragging about it.
If DeSanctimonius can choose which federal laws to violate, then all other politicians can do it as well, and by rationale, should be able to willfully violate Floreedah law as well.
Newsom can make arguments he does not agree with US immigration policy so he’ll be boating people into Caleefawnyuh. Will Jadon support Newsom on that?
DeSanctinonius is NOT king! He needs to follow federal law like all others and if he has a qualm, then go to court over it or use influence to lobby change but breaking the law is not a precedent a gubberbor should set and brag about,
298 Hey Schumer Boy!

For some reason, Tgca didn’t mention that!!

“Mexico looks for kidnappers as 2 Americans found dead…”
Yeah.
The Mexican narco-run authorities will probably find the kidnappers right after O.J. Simpson finds the real killer of his wife.
This is why Bitter is a joke!
A couple of months ago I harshly criticized Trump for wanting the courts to reverse the 2020 election and install him as POTUS after Twitter releases proved collusion that manipulated the 2020 election.
I specifically made clear, I don’t believe in violating the law to benefit him or anyone else and stated if he pushed that message, I would not support him any longer under any circumstance. Evidently he got the message because he stopped making that case.
I don’t vote for people who advocate CRAZY CHIT!
On the other hand, the low intellect PityLaw claims Dems are ALWAYS the best candidates which is so blatantly STOOPID that it gives his other remarks like depression is a weakness a run tidbits money. These are EXTREME statements and show he has absolutely no credibility to criticize others on politics.

Hey NYC
We all know you wish your last name was Schumer.
…or is it Fascist, because you supported denying people basic rights and freedoms by requiring they must be vaxed to get food.
The sad little clown can’t get anything right. I said that the Republican is always better than the Democrat.
He also pretends to be a critic of Trump months ago but forgets he recently said that he values LOYALTY so much that he will vote for Trump no matter what and even if he runs third party. He is only trashing DeSantis because his idol commands it. He even uses Trump’s talking points and stupid names for DeSantis.
So funny how NYC all of a sudden thinks unvaxed Djokovic should not be discriminated against but 2 years ago he would have said Djokovic had no right to get food because he wasn’t vaxed. Let him starve!
NYC sounds a bit like DeSanctimonius and Dr. Fow-chee, now backtracking on their earlier views.

…and you’re comment is STILL stoopid and moronic.
Yes, I’d vote for Trump as a 3rd party candidate over any GOP nominee that backstabbed Trump because I value loyalty and distrust candidates who would sell out their mentor, bosses, and benefactors.. I would have done that if Cheney ran against GWB too.
My statements do not contradict my belief that candidates supporting CRAZY CHIT, like weaponizing gubbernint will NEVER get my vote, including if Trump did those things.
Clearly, you can’t distinguish different concepts.
Now I see why you’ve NEVER made it past a low-level staff attorney and why you get fired from your jobs.

A new study showed that eat a ketogenic diet may double your risk for heart disease.
Anyone who studied basic anatomy and physiology and nutrition can tell you this. No study needed. It’s common sense.
High levels of fat are detrimental to the heart and increase risk of cardiovascular disease as well as other serious conditions like cancer.
High levels of protein are detrimental to the kidneys and other healthy body maintenance.
This has been proven in thousands of studies for numerous decades but many people buy into fads which are basically money gimmicks.
The human body has specific needs and requires balance. Upsetting that balance over long-term will eventually cause health issues in most people.

“KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia unleashed “a massive rocket attack” that hit critical infrastructure and residential buildings in 10 regions of Ukraine, the country’s president said Thursday, with officials reporting at least six deaths in the largest such nighttime attack in three weeks.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the barrage that came while many people slept and knocked out power in cities across the country was an attempt by Moscow “to intimidate Ukrainians again.”
“The occupiers can only terrorize civilians. That’s all they can do,” Zelenskyy said in an online statement.
Overall, Russia launched 81 missiles and eight exploding Shahed drones Thursday, according to Ukraine’s chief commander of the armed forces, Valerii Zaluzhnyi. Thirty-four cruise missiles were intercepted, as were four drones, he said.

Private electricity operator DTEK reported that three of its power stations had been hit, causing severe damage and bringing preventive emergency power cuts in the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk and Odesa regions.
The strikes left almost half of consumers in Kyiv without heating, with temperatures at around 9 C (48 F). Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, was left without running water, heating, trams and trolleybuses after 15 missiles hit the region, mayor Ihor Terekhov told the Ukrainian public broadcaster.
Around 150,000 households were left without power in Ukraine’s northwestern Zhytomyr region. In the southern port of Odesa, emergency blackouts occurred due to damaged power lines.
In southern Ukraine, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which is occupied by Russian forces, lost power as a result of the missile attacks, according to nuclear state operator Energoatom.”

Yes, the January 6th protests clearly got out of control.
No, it was not an insurrection. It was a riot.
Americans’ eyes aren’t lying to them, when they watch the surveillance videos.
The Democrats have politicized and weaponized January 6th, to hunt down and destroy their political enemies.
They went too far.
Stop being hysterical.

I just cannot believe that the same gop-e in the senate don’t want Americans to watch the j6 tapes.
Simple answer to the media Yes release all of it. Piglosi waited too long. Sunshine is good.

“Poland has agreed to a joint transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nad wrote on Facebook on March 9.
He said his Polish colleague confirmed the transfer during an EU defense ministers meeting in Sweden on March 8.
“I think it’s time to make a decision,” Nad said.
“People are dying in Ukraine; we can really help them. There is no place for Slovak politicization. This is inhuman and irresponsible.”
I just cannot believe that the same gop-e in the senate don’t want Americans to watch the j6 tapes”
In fairness to McConnell, he didn’t attack the release of the tapes, but the “interpretation of it”. He refused to criticize McCarthy for releasing the tapes.
I think he is wrong nonetheless. The Dems are using his comments to justify their partisan and biased committee results.
He doesn’t have to take the side of the rioters. He can just ask for the truth. And the truth is in the videos.
‘’He can just ask for the truth’’
You know what? I’d settle for that from McConnell. I really would. We’re not getting that from him in any way. Instead he seems pissed that Carlson has stepped on the committee’s narrative. We so far have gotten floor speeches from McConnell blaming Trump for January 6th. Not once has he uttered a single comment pertaining to the way the accused have been treated by Biden’s Justice Dept. Not a single comment from McConnell on the ridiculous lie that five police officers were killed on January 6th when exactly no one was. Crickets from Mitch. Why?
This is the Republican leader? He seems intent on burning bridges with the Republican base. Mission accomplished, Mitch.
The guy is totally insulated in his DC cocoon. Just flat ass clueless.
Breaking News – All of the Republicans that Phil andTina were elected and re-elected by their constituents. Phil and Tina have yet to condemn the voters.

Right, but that is because we already saw what the Dems wanted us to see 1,000 times.

Not necessary, bitter. Liz has already given us the official story and it was choreographed by an ABC media pro.

Tucker mentioned the 140 injured last night and countered it by saying that an objective government source cited 180 Capitol Police were injured the night in 2020 when Antifa breached the White House grounds and not Biden nor any other Democrat condemned that riot or referred to it as an insurrection!
Bitter
I am curious if you refer to 01/06/2020 as a protest, riot or as an insurrection?
Do you agree with me that the J6 Committee was nothing more than political theatre with Cassidy Hutchinson as the Leading Actress?
I am also sure that Carlson is having the videos edited and presented by media professionals. Both can be true.”
Still somewhat of a false equivalency in my view.
A video showing people attacking police officers is what it is, a video showing people attacking police officers.
A video showing officers waving people in and escorting the Shaman to locked doors and the senate chamber is what it is, a video showing officers escorting the Shaman to the senate chamber.
But the narratives are not equal. The Dems purposefully omitted what they thought was damaging to their narrative.
Tucker is showing what they omitted.
ONLY if Tucker was the FIRST to have any video and he omitted things not fitting his narrative would there be an equivalency.
The Dem narrative is out there, has been for years.
The idea that somehow Tucker is being “deceptive” by not including it in his narrative is ridiculous.
There were definitely agent provocateurs involved that helped in the provocation on January 6th and helped break windows and doors and Antifa as well hurting police officers.
Regardless I wouldn’t walk on the Capital it was trespassing.
This experienced journalist breaks it down.
https://youtu.be/4bIeKj7fZ8U
Do you agree with me that the J6 Committee was nothing more than political theatre with Cassidy Hutchinson as the Leading Actress?”
I do.
But the riot was real. The damage to the capitol and invasion of lawmaker’s offices was real. The injuries to police officers was real.
The problem is the rioters handed the Dems a loaded (political) gun and said “shoot me”, and it has paid dividends to them ever since.
JeffP loves the Russian communists and KGB thugs.

In other news, nobody has personally watched 41,000 hours (4.69 years) of video. The Democrats released what served their spin. Carlson released what served his spin. The truth is in there somewhere and most protesters were severely overcharged.
What a naive argument by PityLaw
You don’t have to review ALL 41,000 hours of video to get context to the main issue at hand. If you can show a few minutes of video where police invite protestors in, escort them around, chatting with them in a friendly manner, etc that is all that is needed to prove the J6C misled the courts and the public and that this was no insurrection, not even trespassing in the cases where they were invited in.
For those who behaved violently, yes, hold them accountable but that wasn’t the vast majority because not even J6C showed such evidence of mass violence.
So under PityLaw’s logic regarding the J6C videos:
We can’t say for certain an accused murderer is really innocent just because he shows evidence he was a 1,000 miles away at the time of the murder because there’s other evidence pointing to him, and the lawyers for each side are selectively spinning their evidence. Without actually witnessing the murder, you can’t be certain who is right and who is wrong.
360 I stand by what I posted on 1/6/2021. The people who stayed outside the Capitol were protesters. Those who went inside were trespassers. Those who committed crimes inside the building should have been punished according to the law.
It was not an insurrection. If everybody had stayed outside, there was no story after the evening news on 1/6/2021.
What do you call it, Sheeple?
336
So Jadon gets duped again finding a blog post by a GRAD STUDENT in Sports Science who references a study that is then criticized by numerous medical professionals (like university professors, doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, etc) for distorting facts, misinterpreting studies, not being opened about who supported the study referenced, contradicting studies posted by many to contradict him, etc. One posted like 5 links to recent studies contradicting the GRAD STUDENT.
After the GRAD STUDENT was contradicted by numerous medical professionals with links supporting their contradictions to him, he finally admits in his own words:
I have read countless articles and the way I have interpreted them has lead to my personal beliefs (whether they are right or wrong).
So in response to much criticism of his article by practicing professionals with decades of experience, many in prestigious academic roles, the GRAD STUDENT comes clean and admits, his article is just another opinion piece on his BELIEFS.
367
I don’t think there is disagreement on most you say here but that is very different than claiming you have to review all 41,000 hours of video to determine that J6C and a corrupt weaponized DOJ targeted people for political reasons.
…and for those invited in by Capitol Police, I don’t see how those trespassing charges should stick.
The J6C was all about DC ensuring Americans dare not protest and challenge them or we will ruin your life.
Did the police have authority to “invite” people to trespass? If I had been there, nobody could invite me in.
Did the police have authority to “invite” people to trespass? If I had been there, nobody could invite me in.”
I think if you were there at the entrance and cops waved you in, you could legitimately assume you it was ok, whether they were legally entitled to do that or not.
Let’s get real.
I don’t think anyone that can show they were invited in by cops should be prosecuted for anything unless they damaged anything inside.
The video of the officer who later died of a stroke is pretty clear that he was waving for people to enter.

Actually, if Indian Wells had their own policy excluding Djokovic, I wouldn’t have an issue with them. Well, I would have an issue with them, just like I would have had an issue with the restaurants, but a different type issue.
My issue with Djokovic being banned IS BECAUSE THE STATE (feds, in this case) IS THE ONE DOING THE BANNING, as opposed to an individual owner.
You don’t appreciate the difference between those 2 things?
Therein lies the problem.

Discrimination is discrimination whether it’s based on skin color, ethnicity, religion, or medical situation.
The belief that unvaxed people are a health risk to others is the EXACT same principle that was used against AA to keep them from equal access.
The claim AA were dirty and had a higher risk of transmitting disease to Caucasians was brilliantly debunked by Thurgood Marshall at SCOTUS. How could it be a concern of AA transmitting disease if they routinely were employed cooking, cleaning, and caring for children of Caucasians?
NYC supports this same theory that it’s OK for private businesses to discriminate based on that same FALSE principle that the unvaxed were a risk to society when we know that is FALSE.
Business licenses are a privilege and NOT a right so if you discriminate against people based on bigoted and FALSE premises, then you should have your business license suspended.
“The sad little clown is now at what he used to call WesCom 5.”

Just to make sure we got all of the facts – did Carlson add audio to silent video tapes?
The Democrats did.
And they also cut video so that one side could be ridiculed (Hawley running video). Carlson showed like a 30 second clip which showed nothing, then the start of an evacuation, the continuing evacuation, then Hawley bringing up the rear.

This is major walking back of their storyline now that Americans can actually see what happened vs what J6C claimed.
They know they look like LIARS with doctored videos so they’re trying to blame their staff.

So if a police officer invites somebody to trespass on Jason’s property to feed and pet Lupita, that is fine with him. Good to know.”
No, you are confused.
What I said if there is a cop at my gate and someone gets waved in my property this person would have a good argument not to be prosecuted for trespassing.
GFY.

Sometime it is Tucker himself on Pravda…
Also if anyone wants to come and feed Lupita, go ahead.
Bring a lot of food, Lupita is always hungry.
Zzzzzzzz I said the J6 committee edited videos to fit their narrative. I said I disagreed with the Committee’s findings and acknowledged that it lied to push a false narrative.
The videos show what they show but we will never see even a tiny fraction of them.
392 No. The person still trespassed. They could argue that they believed that the officer had apparent authority to allow them on the property but the officer did not have actual authority.
“They could argue that they believed that the officer had apparent authority to allow them on the property but the officer did not have actual authority.”
-Considering that we are speaking about a public building, where tours are allowed at certain times, with certain restrictions, and with the rules enforced by the police on duty, as opposed to private property, I would think that officers could at times have the actual authority to allow people in.
Biden is so far gone, you could literally type anything after his name, put it in quotes, and no one would could deny the possibility that he might have said it.

Ok. Let me put it this way.
Which is the guy you would think has a better chance at acquittal?
1) The guy who invaded jason’s property and ate his llama.
2) The guy who invaded jason’s property and ate the llama when there was a cop at the gate telling him it was ok to go in.

I would also hazard most juries would sympathize with someone who could show a police officer waved him in, whether said police officer had that authority or not.
A good lawyer could sure make a case that people usually would trust the police not to be encouraging something illegal.
Escorting the shaman throughout the Capitol and opening doors for him is perfectly normal.
He deserves 4 years in jail.

Ignore the cameras too
Wherever the Shaman went with the capital police there were already cameras planted there.
He deserves 4 years

I might agree if its a real shaman. You don’t want to get on their wrong side.
Inca Shamans are awesome. Rumors are my great-great-great-great uncle was one.
T”he ancient healers also use a special hallucinogen: vilca (meaning “sacred” in Quechua). The Incan shamans would sniff seeds of the vilca tree to invite visions and make contact with the gods and spirit world. Cleansing plant baths, temazcal (sweat lodges), sound and energetic healing are also types of methods used by the shamans.
Today, the Shamans of Peru continue to pass down the rich healing and magic of their ancestors. People from around the world visit sacred and spiritual archeological sites of the Sacred Valley for restoration. Those who visit can participate in private plant medicine and energy healing ceremonies. Q’ero Shaman facilitate and guide Incan cleansing, purifying, healing and uplifting ceremonies, part of a carefully preserved lineage of Shamanic wisdom.”

The Shaman is schizophrenic. Usually in such cases they are considered mentally disabled and are sent to a facility addressing their mental disease. Unfortunately being crazy is no longer a defense, especially if it falls into a category that might weaken the Dems case against Trump. Basically, the last 6+ years have all been about taking Trump out of the arena of power or political effectiveness. It just makes one wonder why they are trying so hard to demolish him.

To the World:
I am actively looking at the options for Jake Chansley given the new information now available, and some of the procedural hurdles we would need to address. Not as straight forward as I would like, but there may be a creative remedy for the problem. More to follow.
I don’t know of any attorneys who make Twitter posts about their clients. The new attorney is looking to get fame and more clients. Not sure if that serves this client’s interests.
Let me be clear regarding my perspective on Russias INVASION of Ukraine.
1. There is no excuse for Putins actions period. The invasion was a violation of international law.
2. Ukraine was being used as a vassal state by both Russia and the US since the original Minsk agreement.
3. Both countries have exploited the corruption within the Ukraine government for decades. See Biden.
4. Germany(Merkel) has never been in favor of Ukraine joining NATO and the EU. The west knew Putins position and knew this was a redline issue for him.
5. With Russias growing nationalist movement the west has known for years Putin was going to invade Ukraine eventually and did hardly anything to address this eventuality. Instead the Davos Crowd, WEF and G20 made efforts to embrace and include Putin/ Russia in the globalist planning for the future (Great Reset) which is in direct opposition to his nationalist vision and Putin has outright rejected.
6. I am not naive enough to believe that Putin will surrender any remaining occupied Ukraine land and retreat to its original borders. This war could go on for years.
7. I believe it’s in the best interest for the PEOPLE of Ukraine to end this war as soon as possible…that doesn’t mean surrender.
8. With the US economy on the verge of collapse the US being the piggy bank of the world needs to end.
These are not Putin talking points. These are very mainstream opinions shared by other conservatives like myself.
He has been representing several j6 clients through donations.
The old attorney got this guy 4 years with no appeals.
Hopefully, William Shipley can free his client.
Hopefully, he can get the matter out of the Dc circus court.
Pooty poot and Xi would be proud of the Dc courts.
“censorship-industrial complex” thank God for liberal 1st amendment absolutist journalists that came up with that term.
Youngkin had a disastrous Cn and n appearance.
He is not ready for prime time.
Seems like a nice guy, but….
These are not Putin talking points.”
LOL
Just a coincidence they are basically the same.’
This is basically a bunch of Pro-Putin talking points, especially the garbage about “what Putin thinks” and “Putin’s redline” and “Russia’s growing Nationalist movement” all code words for JeffP to spew his pro-Russian justifications for the war.
“Vassal state”….zzzzzz…. this is a blatant attempt to deny Ukraine is a sovereign country.
“Exploited corruption”…zzzzz… even if true does not justify the invasion and resulting war crimes.
Nobody should care about what Putin “wants” or “thinks”.
JeffP’s “perspective” reminds me of the China “peace plan”.
A lot of pro-Putin BS full of platitudes, lies and irrelevancies wrapped up as “perspective:”.
And finally:
“I believe it’s in the best interest for the PEOPLE of Ukraine to end this war as soon as possible…that doesn’t mean surrender.”
Maybe the sniveling little Putin lapdog can explain how “ending the war” with Putin occupying tens of thousands of square miles of “new” Ukrainian territory and having destroyed Ukraine’s infrastructure and economy and displaced ten million people is not surrender.
Funny how both Putin and JeffP think surrender is best for the “people of Ukraine”.
No, not a coincidence.
JeffP should have stopped at Point 1. The rest was zzzzzzzzz.
I am not naive enough to believe that Putin will surrender any remaining occupied Ukraine land and retreat to its original borders. This war could go on for years”
I was talking about pre-invasion borders.
Anything less is surrender.
I am not talking about Crimea or the areas of eastern Ukraine the separatists already controlled.
Bitterlaw says:
March 10, 2023 at 11:05 am
JeffP should have stopped at Point 1. The rest was zzzzzzzzz.”
LOL
That is probably the only point he doesn’t believe himself.
Notice the spin about Putin surrendering occupied land. The land is, was, and should be Ukraine’s.
Here is the translation:
1. There is no excuse for Putins actions period. The invasion was a violation of international law.”
But let me now make 7 more points to clarify why I don’t really believe that and why I fully support the invasion due to the rationale behind it.
Notice the spin about Putin surrendering occupied land.”
Yes, and remember any attempt to get back occupied land is an “escalation”.
You got to love it here.
According to JeffP, if Ukraine surrenders its occupied land it is NOT surrender.
But if Putin pulls back from occupied land, it IS surrender.
You can’t make this sh-t up.
To me, THIS is a shocker headline story:
“A GOP war on ‘woke’? Most Americans view the term as a positive, USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll finds”
If this is TRUE,
then America is screwed.
Will wait for Amoral Scumbag and the Biden Troll to apologize too.
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/dear-conservatives-i-am-sorry
If this is TRUE,
then America is screwed.”
Yes, but then very little written in USA Today is true, so there is that.
I give Naomi credit. Her apology is real, most apologies (“I apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended”) are non apologies.
“Republicans, conservatives, I am sorry.
I also believed wholesale so much else that has since turned out not to be as I was told it was by NPR, MSNBC and The New York Times.
I believed that stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian propaganda. Dozens of former intel officials said so. Johns Hopkins University said so. [https://sais.jhu.edu/news-press/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinformation-dozens-former-intel-officials-say].
“Trump specifically cited a “laptop” that contained emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden”, said ‘CNN Fact-Check’, with plenty of double quote marks. [https://www.cnn.com/factsfirst/politics/factcheck_036fb62c-377f-4c68-8fa5-b98418e4bb9c]
I believed this all — til it was debunked.
I believed that President Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia — until that assertion was dropped. [https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2019/03/mueller-concludes-investigation/]
I believed that President Trump was a Russian asset, because the legacy media I read, said so [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book].
I believed in the entire Steele dossier, until I didn’t, because it all fell apart. [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63305382].
Was there in fact an “infamous pee tape”? So many other bad things were being said about the man — why not? [https://www.businessinsider.com/christopher-steele-trump-pee-tape-probably-exists-2021-10]
I believed that Pres Trump instigated the riot at the Capitol — because I did not know that his admonition to his supporters to assemble “peacefully and patriotically” had been deleted from all of the news coverage that I read. [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-11/trump-team-hoping-peacefully-and-patriotically-will-be-shield]
Because of lies such as these in legacy media — lies which I and millions of others believed — half of our nation’s electorate was smeared and delegitimized, and I myself was misled.
It damages our nation when legacy media put words in the mouths of Presidents and former Presidents, and call them traitors or criminals without evidence.
It damages our country when we cannot tell truth from lies. This is exactly what tyrants seek — an electorate that cannot know what is truth and what is falsehood.
Through lies, half of the electorate was denied a fair run for its preferred candidate.
I don’t like violence. I do believe our nation’s capitol must be treated as a sacred space.
I don’t like President Trump (Do I not? Who knows? I have been lied to about him so much for so long, I can‘t tell whether my instinctive aversion is simply the habituated residue of years of being on the receiving end of lies).
But I like the liars who are our current gatekeepers, even less”
Ukraine?
Easy problem to solve. Let’s just send our woke military over there. We will stop the Russians cold by correct pronouning them to death. Putin won’t stand a chance.
“The conflict in Ukraine will end at the negotiating table, the supply of weapons by the West to the Kiev authorities is designed to strengthen their positions before starting a serious dialogue with Moscow,” – UK PM Rishi Sunak
Putin with thousands of nukes doesn’t have to stand a chance. He just needs to press the button. 3 seconds for the Ukrainian lapdogs……
The only way Russia retreats is with NATO entering the war and starting WW 3 that is not going to happen and the UK, US and EU know it.
Pitch – I have always respected you. While the rest of us talked about COVID, you put yourself in the midst of it to treat people and save lives. You have fought cancer every day and brought hope to those you could save and compassionate care to those you could not. That is why your indifference towards Ukrainians being slaughtered is so troubling. I believe you told us you were not born in the US but I know you are truly American. I don’t understand how you can accept Putin’s invasion without even critical words.

Today, Rasmussen(less) has Biden at 50% approval and 49% disapproval. The last three nights, from earliest to last night, Biden’s approval has been 48,51 and 51.The Rasmussen Poll is the only poll to show Biden’s net approval as a plus and above 45% in the RCP average.
Is something happening with Ras’ polling? Look at the Approval Intensity on February 21st and all the way through today. In one day, the Net Intensity went in Biden’s favor by six points. In all the years I have looked at Ras, I have never seen a one day move like this!
This is during the time of the Chinese Spy Balloon, the start of the Hunter investigation, a rise in already high inflation etc. Other polls like The Economist/YouGov that were Biden friendly a month ago, have returned to their normal ranges.
Something is happening, I believe. Have you noticed that more often than not, Ras cannot deliver his poll results on time each day. Then when the late data is posted, 80% of the time, it is extremely favorable to Biden?! Staffing issues? Screening issues?
Being the occasional conspiracy theorist, how does this sound as a possibility? To wit: The Company has pulled a Drudge Report Sale!
You can “respect” him if you wish.
I have zero respect for those who support Putin’s war crimes in Ukraine.
I LOVE Rasmussen.
How DARE you impugn them?
My man Biden is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
BL: I have said that I have no use for Putin or his unjustified invasion. I can’t stand the killing of Ukrainians anymore than the killing of Africans in civil wars going on now or the Muslims in Western China. That doesn’t mean we dump money all over and hope for the best. Jason is an interesting guy. He can call people anything but gets prickly when the favor is returned. As money and arms have poured into Ukraine, their President has gone from a negotiating stance to a belligerent one.
JeffP says:
March 10, 2023 at 12:14 pm
The only way Russia retreats is with NATO entering the war and starting WW 3 that is not going to happen and the UK, US and EU know it.”
Sounds like an endorsement to stay the course and keep Ukraine in the fight.
It appears to me that if you don’t want to dump money into Ukraine, you are a Putin toady per Jason. Perhaps there is a limitation in understanding…..
Estonia’s pro-Ukraine government was re-elected:
“Kallas’ government is already spending close to 3 percent of Estonia’s GDP on defense, a historic high for the country and significantly above the 2 percent of GDP military spending target agreed by NATO member states.
Tallinn has given an equivalent of 1 percent of its GDP in military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine; more than any other nation by proportion of GDP. This includes Estonia’s entire arsenal of 155 mm howitzers.”
Jason is an interesting guy. He can call people anything but gets prickly when the favor is returned.”
Zzzzz…you are wrong.
You are offended at being called what you are. A brainwashed Putin stooge who admires a former KGB thug and thinks he should be allowed to recreate the Soviet Union.
I am not offended at all by being called a “Ukrainian lapdog”.
I am on the right side. You are on the wrong side.
GFY.
Slo Jo’s numbers have definitely drifted up over the last couple of months. If the election were held today, he wins comfortably against any R candidate. He will trounce Trump as it stands today.
Jason is always right according to…..well, Jason. And if loses the argument he wails GFY.
It appears to me that if you don’t want to dump money into Ukraine”
Zzzzzzz…..what dishonest, despicable BS.
And the reason you don’t want to aid Ukraine?
Because you are fine with the slaughter of Ukrainians and Putin’s dream of a Greater Russia.
You are too much of a coward to say it.
Jason is always right according to…..well, Jason.”
Yep, being on the side of Ukraine is the right thing to do.’
Being on Putin’s side is the wrong thing to do.
I own my view. You are ashamed of yours.
It’s not rocket science.
Biden’s average approval is still only 43%.
It would be difficult to win an election with that number.
Against Trump or anyone else.
One dimensional thinker, this Jason guy. Expand the thought process man. Won’t hurt either you or the llamas.
Elections are choices. Biden May be 43%, Trump is barely 40. Biden will beat him today like a drum.
Sorry, according to RCP Biden’s average is only 41% not 43%.
One dimensional thinker, this Jason guy.”
LOL
Supporting a KGB thug is very “multi-dimensional”.
You gotta love it here.
Good boy Jason. You added LOL to GFY. 100% jump.

Pitch is an intellectual genius, much superior to the “country brutes”.
He supports an ex-KGB thug dictator as an example of his fabulous erudition
The way I read this, the brutes are going back to Papa. Unfortunately, not enough of them to win any longer.
As I recall, I voted for Trump twice. This Jason guy only did it once. Perhaps he should shove his TDS stuff up his posterior.
Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine was a disastrous mistake:
“BBC Russian has identified more than 15,000 Russian soldiers killed in the first year of war and suggests the most conservative estimate would be at least double that, with more than 100,000 others wounded or missing.
UK defence intelligence believes Russian casualties increased significantly after partial mobilisation, reaching 175-200,000 in total, of whom 40-60,000 were killed.”
Expand the thought process man”
So maybe if I more “enlightened” like Pitch I will think it is ok to displace millions of people out of their homes, destroy the economy and infrastructure of a country of 40 million people, bomb and shell their cities and towns including residential areas, schools and hospitals, and slaughter, torture and exile hundreds of thousands of innocent people?
No thanks, I prefer to remain “ignorant” and think that is wrong.

NATO countries want no part of a hot war in Europe with them involved. Russia wants no part of a hot war with NATO.
Russia is not going to allow Ukraine to enter NATO or the EU under any circumstance and without considerable military consequences on both sides. Which is why they invaded.
Anyone that can’t accept this is delusional. That is not a Putin talking point. It’s geo political reality.
Geopolitical is a “York” sized term for some here.
Ukraine was not going to join NATO. That is more of Putin’s lies. Now, Ukraine should be allowed to join NATO. Invasions have consequences.
489. “NATO countries want no part of a hot war in Europe with them involved. Russia wants no part of a hot war with NATO.”
Ukraine seems like a pretty hot war to me. The Russians casualties at 175,000 — 200,000, with 40,000-60,000 dead. U.S./NATO casualties– none. U.S./NATO just supplies weaponry. Ukraine has suffered major casualties, but not as high as the Russians, who seem to not mind their troops being slaughtered in human wave assaults, or killed because they run out of ammunition.
History will record Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as one of this century’s great acts of stupidity.
489. “Russia is not going to allow Ukraine to enter NATO or the EU under any circumstance and without considerable military consequences on both sides. Which is why they invaded.
Anyone that can’t accept this is delusional. That is not a Putin talking point. It’s geo political reality.”
Let’s talk about military reality. Russia is getting mauled in the Ukraine. Putin’s original aim was to annex all the Ukraine. He now is stated he is focused only on Donbass and an eastern land bridge to Crimea.
Finland and Sweden are now NATO allies, and likely to soon be NATO members. U. S. Marines already are stationed in Finland and do joint training with the Finnish military.
Close to 1,000,000 Russian military age males have left Russia, and exodus of some of their best and brightest individuals.
At this point the best thing Putin could do for Russia would be to die.
Russia is not going to allow Ukraine to enter NATO or the EU under any circumstance and without considerable military consequences on both sides. Which is why they invaded”
The Putin toady can’t stop lying.
That IS not why they invaded, that is Putin’s talking point. The Ukraine was going to join NATO is just one of the many made up excuses for the invasion.
They invaded to annex Ukraine as part of a larger plan to recreate the Soviet Union/Greater Russia.
Putin has already admitted as much, btw, so JeffP should stop trying to cover for him.
As far as Russia “not going to allow” whatever, sorry, it is not up to them.
If they want to have a say in NATO, they can join it. Barring that, Russia should have ZERO say on what sovereign country joins NATO.
The Putin stooges are hilarious.
Neville Allens says Putin has sacrificed 10,000 pieces of heavy equipment, 100 aircraft, and 100k men for the areas of the Donbas they already controlled.
JeffP thinks Putin invaded “because Ukraine was going to join NATO”.
The stupidity is just astounding.
Now, Ukraine should be allowed to join NATO.”
Exactly.
Putin should reap what he sowed.
At this point the best thing Putin could do for Russia would be to die.”
Nooooooooo….
I am having a hard time as it is with the Russian “spring offensive” I had pinned all my hopes on now stalling.
What this war has really shown is that Ukraine is would be committing suicide by not joining NATO. Or at least some kind of security guarantee.
Otherwise the Russians will just invade again as soon as they can.

DeSanctimonius seeking state funding to create a Floreedah military guard that would not be responsible or answer to anyone but presumably him. It would not have any oversight by the federal gubbermint at all.
He claims it’s needed to assist in emergencies like the National Guard assists.
I don’t understand why a military guard in addition to the National Guard is needed.
My concern with having a Floreedah military unit, responsible only to the gubberbor, is under what circumstances will they be used. This is ripe for abuse and misuse against citizens.
I do not buy they will only be used in emergencies like hurricanes. I’ve lived through hurricanes in Floreedah where we’ve had minor theft and looting but nothing that would constitute creating a separate Floreedah army.

Seth Rogen is a shallow materialist dude who thinks having children are a burden to your happiness, career, and extracurricular activities.
Fine! Having children is not for everyone, and some are physically incapable of it to great regret, but when you view children as a burden instead of a blessing, you should closer examine what kind of a person you are, especially when your main reason for your belief of burden is so you can make more money and do more fun things.
I wonder if he thinks having old, sick parents are a burden too and wish he could just not have to deal with them because they’re a “distraction” and “burden.”
Now, more than anything, the conversation is like, ‘Honestly, thank God we don’t have children,’” he told Bartlett. “We get to do whatever we want.”
Rogen also said that not having the distraction of kids has made both of them more successful in their careers.

The article says they could be active by July 1st which means he could have his own personal army for 3.5 years.
Whether it be him or anyone, my concern was he was advocating it, and this is concerning that a gubbernor believes they should have an army reporting to them.
I guess you’d be ok with Hochul having a personal army in NY, right?
I know you’d totally support one for Schumer since we all know you’re Schumer’s Bish.
Maybe Seth has fish tanks.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 66% of Likely U.S. voters believe it is likely that the COVID-19 virus originated in a Chinese laboratory, including 49% who say it is very likely.”

Fish require maintenance. You can’t go all over the world traveling and do movies in location and keep fish unless you hire someone to take care of them.
I agree, Tgca. We can’t have 50 personal armies for each governor. That’s nuts. And that is saying a lot because I do know nuts.

Who cares if Covid was manufactured. Whatever Dr. Fow-chee deems is necessary is right. Anyone disagreeing does NOT understand science.
Dr. Fow-chee recently shifted his argument of no gain of function under him to ALL scientists know you have to manipulate organisms. He claims flu shot is gain of function.
515: Disregard. I’m confused. Florida State Guard was only around during WWII.

I just don’t understand why it’s needed We’ve had no events in Floreedah suggesting we need a separate military reporting to the gubbernor when we already have a National and State Guard.
To me, everything i’m seeing is suggesting weaponizing gubbermint. Just like state Dems put in rules during COVID to advance their agenda, I’m suspicious of how this military will be used.
508 I will feel comfortable once I know their role and mission. Until then, I’m skeptical.
508: NYCMike is right. Other states have an all-volunteer state guard under the authority of the Governor. I don’t know if DeSantis’ plan is similar or larger in scope.

Trump calls it out.
Simpletons

My point is why is it needed now? There’s a hidden agenda here I suspect.
Why spend $100 million a year on something not needed. It’s wasteful! That money could help in many other ways.
Politicians don’t do these things without an agenda.
Of course Trump is against color revolutions. He prefers Putin to control these nations instead of the people.
The color revolutions were one of the more successful things for the spread of democracy and American ideas worldwide.
Putin stooge JeffP doesn’t like it when America supports American values around the world.
Yorkman to get unhinged. Trump blasts establishment Ukraine policy. Now we know who the establishment Republicans are at HHR. I guess now Trump is a Putin toady?
I remember watching the Euromaidan events closely in 2013. I was glad the Obama administration supported them.
Zzzzzz…
Putin invaded Ukraine because he thinks it is part of Russia. He has stated this many times. Nothing to with NATO, nada, zilch, zero.
His comments that Ukraine was historically not a real country is because Russia always found a way to prevent it from being so.
“But Western analysts say that Putin’s remarks are a mischaracterization of history intended to justify Russian claims over Ukraine.
Russian suppression of Ukrainian statehood
While the two countries share an intertwined history, Ukrainians have been quick to point out that Kyiv was founded hundreds of years earlier than Moscow, and that Ukraine has its own distinct language and customs.
“Part of the reason that Ukraine has never had stable statehood is because of Russia,” says David Patrikarakos, an author of two books about foreign affairs and non-resident fellow at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. He says that Putin deliberately ignored the long history of Ukrainian nationalism, including the country’s war of independence against the Soviets that began in 1917, and its resistance to Soviet rule after World War II. “There has been a strong impulse of Ukrainian nationalism for at least the last century, and [of] the Russians just slapping them down militarily,” Patrikarakos says. “And that’s continuing today.”
Ukrainians voted 93% in a fair referendum to split from the Soviet Union.
Putin says the breakup of the Soviet Union was one of the world’s “greatest tragedies”.
Those parroting Putin talking points are the simpletons.
Yorkman loves his neocon unending wars and infinite money printing to fund the corrupt Pentagon cabal.
Simpleton: Yorkman redefines the village idiot.
Intellectual genius can’t resist abandoning “patients” to spew Putin propaganda here.
Nobody has tagged Trump as a protectionist and isolationist here than I have.
Nobody has been more critical of Trump’s idiotic anti-NATO rants than I have.
I am consistent.
On the other hand, the Putin toady “intellectual” hates Trump, but as soon as Trump says something he agrees with, he sells his anti-Trump rhetoric down the river in a nano second.
When you are a sad, dishonest, despicable hack I guess you forget you are supposed to be a genius.
Yes, the “smart” people applaud Putin’s war crimes in Ukraine.
The village idiots oppose it.
I think I would rather be the village idiot.
eocon unending wars and infinite money printing to fund the corrupt Pentagon cabal.”
Don’t forget the “evil military industrial complex”.
And I think the right terminology is “endless wars”.
Stay with the program.
According to the logic of the article… we shouldn’t give moral or financial support to pro-European organizations because it will offend Putin. So, Putin gets to dictate who America even talks to in Urkaine. I think not.

Pitch “the genius” doesn’t realize that Trump’s isolationist anti-Nato rhetoric is directed at the “country brutes” Pitch despises so much.
The “genius” thinks it is some “gotcha” moment that Trump’s position is contrary to mine, when for years I have called Trump an isolationist and protectionist and said his anti-NATO rants were stupid and self defeating.
Not to mention I don’t support Trump for the nomination. I support the Golden Calf. I just think it is stupid to alienate his base and have a GOP civil war promoted by the TDS morons.
The Dems play to win.
This “indictment” over “campaign violations” promoted by the NYC DA is designed to ensure Trump wins the nomination.
Bet on it.

Tina,

Stop your woke nonsense about the Shaman.
Asking euro deadbeats to pay up is not an anti nato rant.
Even the head of nato indicated that trump made nato stronger.
This was a 2000 plank by the Rs.
Now it’s just acting like fascists, war mongering, open borders and sending pallets of cash to grifters.

In what alternate universe did Trump call for NATO countries to “prepare for war”.
Trump stupidly and irresponsibly weakened the alliance by threatening to dismantle it over “who paid their fair share”, completely ignorant of the geopolitical implications and failing to understand NATO is in OUR interest no matter who pays what.
“Idiotic” is almost a compliment.

The whole point of Trump calling for increased defense spending by NATO is to prepare those countries for war, in the hope that foes wouldn’t make in error in thinking they were weak.
He was right!

I give this complete BS the fiction award for the day.
Trump did exactly the opposite.
Trump weakened the alliance with his silly rants about who pays what. He just wanted to score some cheap political points with morons like you.
His anti-NATO rhetoric was a direct product of his protectionist and isolationist dogma.
The German Beotch needed to be scolded by Trump and the then Japanese Pm to lay up, deadbeat.
It was beautiful.
We had a president actually get something out of Germany, as opposed to Bushie who gave her back rubs.
Your claim that he weakened alliances is a lie. Here is another article.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/01/27/nato-chief-credits-trump/2695799002/
Next….
President Donald Trump “is committed to NATO” and deserves credit in obtaining $100 billion more in defense spending for the alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, said Sunday.
ZERO $$ for defense spending, $$ to the llama-lover.”
I am fine with Germany spending more on defense. As a result of Putin’s aggression they are actually going to spend $10 billion more and get to 2% of GDP as per NATO’s guideline.
What I am NOT ok with is Trump’s completely irresponsible rhetoric threatening NATO over who pays what, completely oblivious to the importance of the alliance.
Trump actually discussed destroying NATO.
“Oresident Donald Trump has long criticized the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, frequently bellyaching that the international military partnership has been “very unfair” to the United States, and castigating American allies as deadbeats for, in his eyes, failing to pull their weight. However, it appears Trump’s attacks on NATO are more than bluster. Citing senior administration officials, The New York Times reported late Monday that at several points in 2018, Trump discussed withdrawing the U.S. from the international organization, a move that would effectively doom the 29-nation alliance and empower Russia, which has spent years seeking to weaken it.
“It would destroy 70-plus years of painstaking work across multiple administrations, Republican and Democratic, to create perhaps the most powerful and advantageous alliance in history,” Michèle A. Flournoy, an under secretary of defense under Barack Obama, told the Times. “And it would be the wildest success that Vladimir Putin could dream of.”
“President Donald Trump “is committed to NATO” and deserves credit in obtaining $100 billion more in defense spending for the alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, said Sunday.”
Zzzzz…. the damage he did to NATO was much greater than $100 billion.
Yeah a bank failure (the largest since Wamu in 2008) is “great news.” /s
So Tina supports NATO, she just opposes it when BIden is President.
I got it.
Yup asking the German she male and the other deadbeats to pay up and being successful = weakend Nato
GETTING $100 billion to strengthen Nato is bad because the Us should have paid the $$$ owed by the Euro trash.
-America Last Deadender
America Last Deadender?
Sniff, Tina has great nicknames for everyone but comes up with this for me?
Sooooo disappointed.
That $100 billion to strengthen NATO has all been sent to Ukraine as tanks and weapons. Tina hardest hit.
and being successful = weakend Nato”
He wasn’t successful and he did weaken NATO. He bullied a few countries but his failure to actually understand the purpose of NATO and its geopolitical importance far overshadowed any gains in spending.
Fixed it for you.

A small win…
“Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., the chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, announced Friday he will block a key Department of Interior (DOI) nominee from moving forward over her climate activism.
Manchin noted that his decision — which effectively kills President Biden’s nomination of Laura Daniel-Davis to serve as DOI’s assistant secretary for land and minerals management — came in response to an internal agency memo that was leaked last week. The memo showed that Daniel-Davis, who holds a lower position at DOI, signed off on an explicit decision to prioritize climate policies over energy security.
“Today, I have also decided, as chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, that I will not be moving forward the nomination of Laura Daniel-Davis as assistant secretary of the Department of Interior,” Manchin wrote in an op-ed for The Houston Chronicle.”
Meanwhile, Russia apparently fears a Ukrainian counter-offensive will result in Ukrainian troops going into Russia, and is building defensive lines in Russia. From ISW:
“Russian forces continue to establish defensive lines in rear areas far from current frontlines and areas in Russia that will likely never see fighting. Belgorod Oblast Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov claimed on March 9 that Russian authorities finished constructing the “zasechnaya line” of fortifications along Belgorod Oblast’s border with Ukraine. Gladkov claimed that Russian forces should dedicate troops to defending this system of fortifications in case of an implausible Ukrainian attack on Belgorod Oblast. Russian forces would significantly misallocate forces that would be better suited supporting active offensive operations elsewhere in Ukraine by manning these fortifications. Gladkov also claimed that Russian officials spent 10 billion rubles (about $132 million) constructing the defensive line, a likely waste of funds amid questions about Russia’s ability to fund its war effort in Ukraine.The Ukrainian General Staff also reported on March 10 that Russian forces continued building fortifications along Kursk Oblast‘s border with Ukraine, another area that will likely never see fighting.[6] Occupied Crimea head Sergey Aksyonov claimed on March 10 that Russian forces are constructing a defensive line in Crimea and implied that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the construction of the line.[7] These fortifications are far away from the current frontlines in southern Ukraine, and any Russian personnel and equipment deployed to these lines would similarly be better suited elsewhere in Ukraine.”
How Putin appeasers idolize Putin as some sort of marvelous strongman is beyond me? Maybe the Russians fear the impact of the new weapons systems NATO is about to deliver to Ukraine?

The ends justify the means.
Putin appears to be a major wack job. Putin is mad at the Wagner Group so he as cut-off their arms supply. A major country like Russia does not loss a war against a smaller country like Ukraine unless there is major incompetency. Sorry Tina, but your hero Putin is a major bozo:
“On the other hand, if one believes Prigozhin, the Wagner group has been stopped because they have run out of ammunition. Prigozhin claims that he has repeatedly asked Moscow for additional ammunition in order to continue his gains. However, he claims that Moscow has refused to comply with request for more ammunition.
A report was issued today that Prigozhin is claiming that officials in Moscow will no longer even meet with him to listen to his pleas for more ammunition. It appears that Moscow is tired of his whining, and claiming that he has the only competent soldiers in the battlefield.
It appears that they are cutting him out of the decision making process and cutting him out of the line to receive additional weapons and ammunition. This could be a foolhardy move by Putin, since in the first year of the war, the Wagner Group were responsible for many of the gains made by Russia.”
Putin appears to be a major wack job”
Not to his dedicated lapdogs here.
Tina calls a vicious KGB thug and the man who brought death and destruction to Ukraine Pooty- Poot.
She calls the democratically elected leader of Ukraine, a true leader who refused to leave but chose to stay and fight, a fascist.
Let that define her.
Finnish President in Kiev, endorses Ukraine membership in NATO.
JeffP hardest hit.
“Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin met President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on March 10.
Zelensky and Marin visited wounded soldiers in a Kyiv hospital and attended the funeral of fallen soldier Dmytro Kotsiubailo, killed in action on March 7.
Zelensky thanked Finland for supplying aid to Ukraine’s energy sector following Russia’s mass missile strike.
The press release states that the primary focus of Zelensky’s meeting with Marin was defense and security, with Zelensky extending his appreciation to Marin for Finland’s defense aid.
Marin noted that Finland had just delivered its 14th defense aid package to Ukraine, which included heavy weaponry, and pledged to continue providing support.
“Additionally, Marin voiced her support for Ukraine’s peace plan and its endeavors to bring Russian war criminals to justice.
“We support President Zelenskyi’s peace formula and want this plan to start working. Only lasting peace can give our family of European countries, the Euro-Atlantic family, peace and prosperity. We want Ukraine to join NATO as one of the allied states of this Alliance,” Marin said.

Sanna Marin a Social Democrat, but in fact she is an dangerous neocon because she supports the Ukraine joining NATO.

Was it different than his opposition to tanks and pushing for an immediate “peace plan” that is really Ukrainian surrender?
A quick search showed Trump making comments about Russia keeping some Ukrainian territory. Deal breaker for me.
614 Yes that and more. Specifically named Victoria Nulands involvement. Of course he mentions how right he is about everything at the end.
I think my biggest issue is 1st Amendment with CRT related issues in education, private business, government a close second. Someone has to be strong on those two in a effective way and are deal breakers for me. Supporting Ukraine is not.
A fiscal responsible conservative would be a nice throwback too.

This is just nuts; they cannot even complete the segment between Bakersfield and Merced.
Add to that California now faces a multi-billion dollar budget deficit:
“New cost figures issued in an update report from the California High-Speed Rail Authority show that the plan to build the 171-mile initial segment has shot up to a high of $35 billion, exceeding secured funding by $10 billion.
The cost of that partial system is now higher than the $33 billion estimate for the entire 500-mile Los Angeles to San Francisco system when voters approved a bond in 2008.
What’s worse, that full system cost is set at up to $128 billion in the update, leaving a total funding gap of more than $100 billion for politicians to ponder.”

Fox News may now be off Trump’s Christmas card list.
“In the days after his 2020 presidential defeat, however, it’s emerged that many Fox executives and presenters disparaged him.
Mr Murdoch, the Fox News chairman, wrote in an email that the then-US president – and his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani – were going “increasingly mad” after election day.
Mr Carlson, host of the network’s top-rated programme, said he hated Mr Trump “passionately” and that his presidency had been a disaster. He predicted that soon his show would be able to ignore the soon-to-be former president.
He also mocked the former president’s business enterprises. “All of them fail,” he said in a text to his show’s producer.”
Nikki Haley already has my primary vote over Trump.
However, I’m waiting on some other potential candidates to enter race before I invest my money and time for a particular candidate.
Trump’s evolving position on Ukraine is a disaster but it shouldn’t come as a surprise.
I don’t vote in primaries any more.

JeffP and Putin, who have exactly the same opinions, know what is “best for Ukraine”. Surrender.
You can’t make this sh-t up.
I will make it simple. Surrender is not what is best for Ukraine. What is best for Ukraine is that Russia gets out of its territory, Russians guilty of war crimes get prosecuted, and Russia pays for rebuilding what they destroyed.
Was it “best for Ukraine” to surrender Crimea back in 2014(?)?
I don’t remember much concern on here back then that if Crimea fell into Russian hands, Putin would be emboldened to take over all the former Soviet territories.

You realize DeSanctimonius speech on Covid is riddled with lies and distortions that are easily proven by looking at his EO issued and videos of him threatening to shut down businesses and take away their licenses, promoting vaccines, in addition to paying people to stay at home and not work through mid 2021, a major reason a lot of businesses could not fully open, as huge banners hung from many establishments advertising hiring with bonuses.
I lived in Floreedah. With respect to public spaces, Floreedah was pretty much identical to NJ, NY, and PA with extremely limited access. I was here. I saw it 1st hand.
You can be duped all you want by his lies but this is typical DeSanctimonius trying to re-write history on Covid. He’s being very Clintonesque.

I think we ALL AGREE on that. The question is at what point does the line of negotiation lie. Russia agreeing to leave if they get Crimea and part of Donbass is probably acceptable. Russia agreeing to leave if they get everything along the Black Sea so that Ukraine is landlocked is not acceptable.
635
But thousands were murdered, tortured, injured in China too but you’re silent on that just liked you supported thousands being murdered, injured, and tortured in Iraq by Americans.
You selectively pick your grievances just like others here so you have no room to criticize anyone else.
Pootin created a false narrative to start a war because he wanted to attain benefits from the region just like GWB did in Iraq. I see no difference between what the two leaders did.
So again, selective grievance.
637
Ukraine was in Civil War before Pootin attacked. Those regions that were loyal to Russia will have to decide whether they want to go with Russia or go independent because it’s highly unlikely they will want to live under Ukraine after this war since they already declared themselves independent states years ago.
So I think if those regions still want out of Ukraine, that should be part of any settlement to achieve peace and not considered something Russia stole away. If Zelenskyy refuses, cut off aid to him because we can’t continue a war that otherwise could lead to peace because he wants to start a civil war again with a portion of hos own people.
In 2014, Ukraine was weak so Russia was able to accomplish a lot with a covert “little green men” operation. It was a different type of operation. However, And I think some probably thought Crimea was a reasonable sacrifice for the rest of Ukraine becoming a western focused European democracy. It became more bloody once Russia expanded into Donbass.
However, I do think Obama should have been stronger in standing up to Putin.
639: WRONG. Ukraine was not in a Civil War before Putin attacked.
In Donetsk in 2014, I witnessed giant marches with everyone flying BOTH Ukraine and Russian flags. They were NOT in a civil war. They had some disagreements that they were working out. The fighting only happened once Russia entered the scene.
Here are some differences:
Saddam Hussein violated multiple UN resolutions.
The intelligence services of the UK, France, Germany, and Israel all agreed with the US about WMDs.
Congress authorized the attack on Iraq.
The US made no claims to annex Iraq.
Saddam Hussein had used WMDs and only a moron would trust him to not do it again.
I do support having areas vote if they want to be part of Russia in a fair election monitored by the UN with Russian troops removed.
Tgca: I think most of us on the pro-Ukraine side would agree that a negotiated end with those separatist areas of Donbass and Crimea voting to go with Russia would be aggreeable.
Getting Russia to that point however involves a lot more weapons to Ukraine.
640 Paulie
I do not disagree on the past but we are now saddled with a war that could go on for years if both sides keep getting funded, and the rest of the world tires of it and loses interest, as is happening.
To me, you have to forge peace or accept Americans will have to forego its domestic priorities and pay extra taxes to fund a war because of an open checkbook.
There is no incentive for Zelensky to seek peace as long as he has a cash-cow in the US just as there is no incentive for Russia to end its occupation if there are no repercussions as Russia has a cash-cow in Asia from energy sales.
Tgca: The peace you are asking for is unacceptable to many Americans and probably all Ukrainians.
Tgca: it is not an endless war. It is surging the amount of weapons into Ukraine so that they have a shot at a counter offensive to regain a chunk of lost land.
MONKEY NEWS!
DRUDGE
“New study on monkeys using stone tools raises questions about evolution…”
642
No differences. Everything you post is based on misleading information provided by the US intelligence Even Colin Powell later admitted that he was duped by the intelligence abd he knows a lot more about what happened then you. The Euro countries you named relied on the US for the intelligence in 1st place.
You are making excuses.
You cite violating UN resolutions. Countries do that often but we don’t go to war. Even the UN did not agree with invading Iraq, as did 95% of the world. So your justification is silly when the governing body you cite itself did not think the violations rose to a level of such action.
Give it up! Accept the truth! GWB created a false narrative to invade Iraq in hopes of democratizing it to benefit the US. He lied to the American people. 4,00+ soldiers died because of that lie as well as hundreds of thousands in Iraq.
Iraq was NEVER a substantial threat to US interests. NEVER! GWB and friends manufactured that lie.
I think GHWB’s Persian Gulf war was the right thing to do. I think GWB’s Iraq war was the wrong thing to do. I felt that way in 2022.
647 Paulie
It is an endless war because Ukraine is unable to defeat Russia. Ukraine is barely surviving because of constant assistance.
Russia will raise the stakes too and China and others will support Russia so I don’t see it ending unless Pootin has a change of heart.
The high energy support for this conflict is waning in the US and will continue to do so over time as Americans get used to this as just another conflict and not a major issue.
650
Agreed!
Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11 and Saddam was no threat to US interests. It was a false narrative to invade just like Pootin.
China is more of a threat to US interests today than Iraq was in 2003 but you don’t see Bitter and friends clamoring to invade China because they know the US would get a major azz-kicking in a ground assault there.
646 Paulie
I’m not asking for anything. I’m just saying most Americans will not accept an endless war with the US as Ukraines ATM, especially as interest wanes in the conflict. Supporting Ukraine in the conflict is very different to Americans than financially sacrificing for them.
I’m just pointing out both sides have no reason to settle unless there is brokered peace with realistic expectations.
Never said it’s fair or easy. Peace never is. It’s why we continuously see conflicts around the world throughout history.
Bitter gets his talking points on Iraq from Liz Cheney and friends.
Zzzzzzzz. I have not advocated for American troops in Ukraine. I have also not called for an invasion of China because there is no benefit to it. The US Navy and Air Force can support Taiwan if necessary.
Tgca’s “realistic expectations” are based on Russia keeping as much seized Ukrainian territory as possible.
635 – no.
What is the American interest in Ukraine? To me, it is the (perhaps temporary) degradation of Russia’s ability to cause serious trouble in Europe.
You constantly talk about murders, rapes, etc. Those are not American interests; otherwise there would’ve been American troops in Africa since WWII.
Is it really your position that American interests were not present in Crimea simply because it was less bloody?
Tgca: So, you are saying that Ukraine should sue for peace right now because their situation won’t get any better. I can respect that opinion. However, what would it take for Russia to agree to a peace. I would assume that they would need to be given MORE than what they currently occupy. So, they would probably only accept peace if given Ukrainian occupied parts of Donbass and/or some land closer to Odessa. That would really suck for Ukraine.
655
There was NO benefit to the US to invade Iraq either, In fact, it further destabilized sections of the Middle East and gave rise to further spreading terrorism.
Suing for peace when you are winning would be way more preferable.
656
The US gave up portions of Europe to communism to have peace after WW2 which I think was wrong but at the time, there was no way the world wanted continued war in Europe after a half a decade.
As I said, peace is not easy and often it is fleeting too so no guarantees but the people have to choose if they want continued war or not and if they do, they can’t expect others to fund it their war.
658
I’m not saying it’s easy or the most desired outcome but the issue is continued war or not.
It’s not for us to decide. However, we can decide whether we fund an unending war and that I believe is not what most Americans desire.
Chicon- Just say you accept the invasion of Ukraine and oppose US military aid. No need to make dozens of posts.
657: Good question. Ukraine is a big country and a potential economic powerhouse. If they were a stable pro-Us and pro-Europe democracy that is tied to their European neighbors that would be a big benefit to the US. If they are under the control of an increasingly authoritarian regime of Russia, that would not be good. It would make it possible for Russian military assets to be on Ukraine’s western borders with potential further destabilization and expansion.
657b: Ultimate goal after Ukraine joins the modern world of western democracy, is for Russia to join as well. But, it isn’t clear what happens to Russia if they lose and Putin leaves office. It could be better or it could be worse.
Make dance not war!

#593. She calls the democratically elected leader of Ukraine, a true leader who refused to leave but chose to stay and fight, a fascist.
Zelensky’s leadership actions in Ukraine:
Has crushed the free press;
Has suppressed religion;
Fired or has had “accidental” deaths of those disagreeing with him.
Zelensky Is now turning to China and Xi for help to get what he wants. Isn’t that akin to stabbing a friend in the back, to seek out that friend’s adversary as their new friend?
Lots of rumors Zelensky is also skimming off the top, for himself, monies the US has given him, and selling off some of the weapons supplied him for profit. Furthermore, it is being reported the Ukrainian people hate him more than the Russian people hate Putin.
Are these the traits of a “good” leader?
A friend of my son went over to Ukraine with an international group, distributing goods and materials directly to the Ukrainian people. They skirted the Zelensky government, as they were deemed too untrustworthy.
jan: How specifically has Zelensky done any of that. How has he suppressed religion?? You will probably say he restricted Russian Orthodox church which was working directly as spies for Russia. I’m glad he did that.
How has he crushed the free press?
jan: If China is actually supporting Ukraine, that would be great news. However, I think you have your facts wrong.
And the Orthodox church in Ukraine is mostly the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. They are not restricted. Nor are Baptists or other protestant groups. (I know some missionaries in Ukraine that have no troubles with Zelensky).

Rumors? LOL
https://www.newsweek.com/zelensky-narrative-shifting-opinion-1731875
One concise description of the Putin/Zelensky drama is, “Putin is a thug and Zelensky is a corrupt Autocrat.”
The Ukraine war has become politicized, extended, manipulated and distorted, with Zelensky now a major geopolitical puppeteer pulling the strings of any nation he can coerce to give him more resources. He has literally grown into a warped hero, putting the lives of his people in jeopardy so he can fulfill his muscular goal of beating Russia. It’s, however, becoming a travesty for a growing number of Americans to keep polishing this man’s ego. —someone constantly costumed in fatigues for effecting a wartime image — sitting for photo shoots, addressing and threatening leaders of the world in order to guilt them into supporting his war.
In the meantime, over here, our own border is in crisis. Our debt is said to be unsustainable. The environmentally toxic spill in East Palestine goes unreported and unresolved. Our electric grid continues to deteriorate. We’ve just experienced our 2nd largest bank failure in history. Wages are not keeping up with inflation or the general cost of living. Our middle and working classes are struggling from paycheck to paycheck . But, nonetheless, Zelensky continues to want us to pay his bills, pensions and the future rebuilding of his destroyed infrastructure. And, if we peel back some of those payments he has no reservations in extending an invitation to China for a personal meeting with Xi. What a great ally he would be should he join !NATO
What a great ally he would be should he join !NATO.”
I agree. I think he would be a great ally.
Putin is a thug and Zelensky is a corrupt Autocrat.”
You have to be profoundly intellectually dishonest and frankly a real scumbag to pretend there is any moral equivalency between Zelensky and Putin.
Thug? Zzzzzz… how about war criminal that is responsible for the death, torture, rape, and exile of hundreds of thousands of people, and the displacement of close to 10 million people, a humanitarian disaster of huge proportions. WHo is shelling and bombing civilian populations for the express purpose of terrorizing them into surrendering. Who is taking away the livelyhood of millions of innocent Ukrainians by destroying their economy.
Compare that to “corrupt aristocrat”
Really?
Anybody that despicable to make that equivalency should crawl into a hole in shame.
he has no reservations in extending an invitation to China for a personal meeting with Xi.”
Hello?
Why is that an issue?
China is overtly assisting Putin. Why would Zelensky not want to try to reverse that?
Jason, no one is giving Putin a pass. However, creating a false selfless narrative around the ethics of a leader, in charge of the 3rd most corrupt country in the world, is mind-boggling, in lieu of how we are either ignoring or dismissing our own problems.
Also, rumors, much like conspiracy theories, are first laughed at until they become true. And, how many lives have been either sacrificed or displaced under Zelensky’s relentless pursuit of an uncompromising war – a border dispute that has been waged for thousands of years.

That just makes you a hypocrite.
What you can do is say the left lied about the severity and some sentences were too harsh.
China is overtly assisting Putin. Why would Zelensky not want to try to reverse that?
Are you blind or just “dufus!” Zelensky doesn’t care who or what kind of regime he befriends, as long as he can get something out of them. In most people’s world that kind of person is “two-faced.” Maybe, though, that’s who you like to hang with!
BTW, if you even run across someone who has been over to Ukraine, except for our politicians, it will be more evident how little Zelensky is doing for his people, and how little they really think of him.

In retrospect, I was wildly overoptimistic about the prospects of exporting democracy by force, underestimating both the difficulties and the costs of such a massive undertaking. I am a neocon no more, at least as that term has been understood since 9/11. https://fam.ag/3Leu1dQ
“how many lives have been either sacrificed or displaced under Zelensky’s relentless pursuit of an uncompromising war”
Really Jan????? It’s completely Putin’s pursuit of this war that has caused this. You would prefer Zelenskyy to surrender so that there would be a whole lot MORE DEATH, RAPES, CHILDREN BEING RIPPED FROM THEIR PARENTS AND REFUGEEES!!!!!
If China decided to join our side of this Ukraine fight. Most Americans would be more than delighted.
However, Zelenskyy was simply wanting to meet with China to discuss their so-called peace plan. I think that is great for Zelenskyy to try to leverage China.
jan is the third most corrupt person on HHR. It must be true because I said so.
Zelensky is waging an “uncompromising war?” The only one waging war is Putin. Zelensky and the Ukrainians are defending themselves.
Is this the same ccp peace plan “discounted” here?
The filter will not allow posts from Pravda. Go to its English language site and see that Jan’s talking points are the same as what is printed there.
Zelenskyy’s invitation was back before China released the details. The details we know now are simply platitudes of the UN charter and nothing concrete.
how many lives have been either sacrificed or displaced under Zelensky’s relentless pursuit of an uncompromising war”
None. Zero.
Putin bears 100% responsibility for this war.
Zelensky is not “pursuing” any war. His country was invaded and he and fellow Ukrainians are defending themselves.
I have seen ridiculous comments here, but I guess this one takes the cake.
China plan said that we should “cease hostilities” and “respect the sovereignty of all countries.”
Sure, Ukraine would agree with that. Russia just needs to stop the war and start respecting Ukraine’s sovereignty by moving themselves back to Russia.
and how little they really think of him.”
Really? Maybe do a little research before saying something really stupid.

And btw, Zelensky is a Russian speaking Jewish Ukranian.
“Zelensky, a native Russian speaker hailing from Ukraine’s central-southern city of Kryvyi Rih, won 73.2 per cent of the votes in the second round of the presidential election in 2019.”

Breaking.:Jan 6th Song Featuring President Trump and J6 Political Prisoners Soars To #1 On iTunes
Back in 2015/2016 this blog rejected and scorned anyone accepting the R nominee (Trump) over HRC. Differences of opinion created all kinds of Jason/MD flak, with Bitter joining the pack. Well, despite all the derision and piling on that Trump had no chance of winning, and would be an awful leader should he win, their predictions fell flat. While Trump did maintain his unpleasant demeanor, he enacted better domestic and foreign policies than HRC would have ever done.
Now there is a difference of opinion posted about the efficacy and honesty of Zelensky’s leadership, questioning whether it has truly helped the Ukrainian people, and how the weight of aid has disproportionately fallen on the US. The commentary that followed was the same clan of people, around in 2016, making similar, name-calling charges that having a different take on our over-the-top involvement in Ukraine (rather than addressing our own problems) was reason to label someone a Putin sympathizer, corrupt etc.
Pravda actually would approve of and be proud of Bitter, Jason and the gang for not allowing any narrative to be shared here other than their own.
Jan – I was the first to use the phrase Amoral Scumbag at HHR at used it to describe Trump. I ALWAYS wanted him to best Hillary but did not think he would. I also pointed out that the fact that she was in Philadelphia the night before the election was s warning sign for her chance to win. I predicted a close loss by Trump.
Jason and MD posted Never Trump! thousands of times. Take it up with them.’
So, if you want the military aid to Ukraine to end, say it. You know that serves Putin’s ambitions. Say that, too. No free lunch.
Jan – I think your posts support victory for Putin. Post as many times as you want. Both can be true.
DCC
OK. As the HHR EXPERT in all things except all things gay which I defer to LisaB, I will weigh in on the conflict and settle it once and for all.
Jan is correct!
Zelenskyy is a manipulating thug wanna-be dictator who has violated numerous democratic principles against his people and who even the US State Dept, prior to the Russian invasion, had determined Ukraine was a highly corrupt untrustworthy country.
Zelenskyy is an actor that uses his acting talents as props to mislead people. Running around in khakis like he just got off the battle field is about portraying an image. He was not a trusted friend to America prior to the war and he shouldn’t be trusted now.
Of course his people now see him as a hero because he is fighting off an invader just like 90% of Americans rallied around GWB after 9/11, that’s to be expected. But let’s not forget that before the invasion started he was seen by his people as corrupt as his predecessors with approval ratings in the 20s.
Jadon, Bitter, SDC, and Paul, the Zelenskyy sycophants here are losing it because Americans and the world are starting to tune Ukraine out, and they are losing the argument to sustain an ATM for Zelenskyy.
Ukraine is a much lower priority than before and my guess is by 2024, if things continue as they are in the US, you will see politicians of both sides starting to throw Zelenskyy under the bus as Americans tire of fighting for borders overseas but not our own.
Tgca: as an expert, you are woefully inadequate. It is possible everything you just said is not true. Prove me wrong.
Tgca: Can you back up any of those so-called facts with evidence?
The only “fact” that Tgca just posted is that Russia invaded Ukraine. The rest is opinion, speculation or “facts” without evidence or support.
I do believe Trump will soon be fully anti-Ukraine war. Ending the war will be a big part of Trump’s spiel. That will put the pressure on Biden to reach a resolution in Ukraine before 2024.
That is why I think it is critical to send as many tanks and jets as possible right now to Ukraine. We basically have one year to cripple Russia enough that they are willing to come to a negotiation.
Jan is also correct on the judgment of certain Zelenskyy sycophants. They also have poor judgment as history has shown with Dr. Fow-chee as the perfect example.
Their hero Dr. Fow-chee is about as corrupt as they come but they fought everyone here supporting him with ridiculous adulation and glorifying him like they do Zelenskyy to only remain silent now as time has proven them to be naive and foolish with their great admiration for the Good Doctor who is going to be under investigation soon.
I suspect in due time we will see them distant themselves from Zelenskyy as well as more is exposed of his corruption, and the rest of us were proven right once again.
If Trump came out in favor of military aid to Ukraine and driving Russian troops back to pre-invasion borders, Tgca would be devastated and have to backtrack from thousands of posts. Fortunately for him, Trump is an isolationist and his “no tanks” statement supports Putin.
Tgca: I don’t think Fauci has much to worry about. Republicans can’t really do anything.
Trump is the one who elevated Fauci to prominence, not me. Trump made him the face of the US response to COVID with daily press conferences. Take it up with him.

I have posted numerous times with support, mostly from European journalists, corruption and investigations into Ukraine including Zelenskyy.
Go through the archives and find them. I’m not gonna keep doing all that work for you guys because you don’t read current events.
It’s a tactic I see here where soneone says provide evidence and when you do they either don’t respond or try to attack the credibility of source.
European journalists tend to be much less political and sycophantic as the American media so I have no reason to believe they were making these stories up that were reported well before any war was on the horizon between Russia and Ukraine.
Here’s one snippet from the US State Department on Ukraine in 2020, long before the Russian invasion. Google for more yourself. You will find quite a bit with a little effort.
Significant human rights issues included: unlawful or arbitrary killing; torture and cases of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment of detainees by law enforcement personnel; harsh and life-threatening conditions in prisons and detention centers; arbitrary arrest or detention; serious problems with the independence of the judiciary; abuses in the Russia-led conflict in the Donbas, including physical abuse of civilians and members of armed groups held in detention facilities; serious restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including violence, threats of violence, or unjustified arrests or prosecutions against journalists, censorship, and blocking of websites; refoulement of refugees; serious acts of corruption; lack of investigation of and accountability for violence against women; violence or threats of violence motivated by anti-Semitism; crimes involving violence or threats of violence targeting persons with disabilities, members of ethnic minority groups, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersex persons; and the existence of the worst forms of child labor.
The government generally failed to take adequate steps to prosecute or punish most officials who committed abuses, resulting in a climate of impunity. Human rights groups and the United Nations noted significant deficiencies in investigations into alleged human rights abuses committed by government security forces.
No posts about Putin’s corruption and why Ukrainians should continue to be murdered by Russians. Sad little clown keeps clowning. Sadly.
Last month’s Gallup poll showed continued strong support for Ukraine. However, Republicans are about evenly split.
I was at the St Patrick’s Parade in San Diego today. When a Ukrainian contingent went by with Ukrainian flags; there was loud applause.
“FEBRUARY 6, 2023 (Gallup Poll)
One Year Later, Americans Still Stand by Ukraine
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Nearly one year into the war between Russia and Ukraine, Americans’ support for Ukraine holds steady. A stable 65% of U.S. adults prefer that the United States support Ukraine in reclaiming its territory, even if that results in a prolonged conflict. Meanwhile, 31% continue to say they would rather see the U.S. work to end the war quickly, even if this allows Russia to keep its territory.
* * *
U.S. Doing Too Much or Too Little in Ukraine?
More Americans (39%) say the support being offered to Ukraine in the war is the right amount than think the U.S. is not doing enough (30%) or is doing too much (28%).
Nearly half of Republicans, 47%, say the U.S. is doing too much, while 48% of Democrats say American involvement is about right. Most of the rest of Democrats, 41%, say the U.S. is not doing enough. Independents are evenly divided between the two camps, with 35% each saying the U.S. is doing too much and the right amount. Democrats are more likely than independents and Republicans to think the U.S. is not doing enough.”

Typical PityLaw doesn’t like when he’s proven wrong and retorts with a sophomoric argument that is “you have to say bad things about Russia too if you’re gonna say bad things about Ukraine and if you don’t, you’re a Pootin stooge and lapdog.”
Only a retard makes such STOOPID arguments.
I’ve said numerous times Pootin and Russia are corrupt. That’s a given. Everyone here knows that so no sense repeating over and over.
The difference here is that you elevate Zelenskyy to idol status so we provide proof that he is corrupt. If you didn’t try to make him out to be a good guy of great character and high moral standing, there would be no reason for anyone here to contradict you and post he’s corrupt.
Pootin and Zelenskyy being corrupt have nothing to do with whether Ukraine is justified in defending themselves from invasion. Of course they do!
By example, Stalin was corrupt but he ended up fighting on the right side in WW2 and was a hero to his people but did that make him any less corrupt or a hood guy? No!
During the height of the coronavirus epidemic several years ago, I posted a lot about how the Swedish approach to containing the virus, which did not include lockdowns, and relied on the development of natural immunity, as the best approach to containing the virus. In hindsight it appears to have been right

The father is a murderer and should be prosecuted, and executed if they have the death penalty.
You don’t go to someone’s house and kill them because you BELIEVE they will re-offend as a sexual predator again after a one-time conviction nearly 45 years ago. Police found no evidence of the claims of the father that his child was being stalked by the 77 year old man. The murdering father was himself a convicted felon, and now took the life of another without provocation. He is just as evil as the old man he killed. The nature of the violent heinous death shows this man is no good as well.

I am not against supporting Ukraine militarily to protect themselves. I am against an open checkbook with no accountability to the most corrupt nation in Europe besides Russia.
That is my issue…and the fact that Zelenskyy is an ungrateful POS that thinks we owe him when he’d no sooner sell us down the toilet as would be expected from a corrupt dictator wanna-be.

I am supporting the candidate that has the strongest positions and leadership experience to lead the fight against the CRT, ESG, CBDC and WEF agendas. In addition to that they must be a fiscal conservative and address the deficit. Unfortunately our economy is on the verge of collapse if more banks begin to fail which is probable.
JeffP:
I plan to vote for whoever is in favor of CRT, ESP, CBD and WEF.
Now that I read what it’s about….. I’m fine with ESG as well.
I prefer CBD (Cannabidiol) to CBDC (digital currency)
I likely will not vote for JeffP’s preferred candidates who wants to weaken America in the world.

Sad that almost a third of Americans favor surrender.

Crap.
I wonder how many people would have pulled their money out of SVB if it was clear they were “actually funding” woke causes with shareholder money.
Considering it is CA probably less than elsewhere but I bet it would have been significant.
So almost 98% of the SVB accounts were over $250k. I wonder how that compares to other banks.
unknown to me they used SVB for their tech startup”
Yeah, there is going to be a ripple effect. A lot of start-ups won’t have funds to operate and pay employees and vendors.
Maybe this will send out warning bells to the woke companies, and maybe alert their shareholders to be more “hands on” in trying to prevent their assets being used to promote leftist ideological causes instead of maximizing profits.

Turncoat Mike Pence Melts Down at Dinner – Says President Trump “Endangered My Family” and “History Will Hold Donald Trump Accountable” For J6

Truth.
Glad Pence is finally breaking free from the abusive spouse.
This is nonsense! SVP did not fail because it’s woke, it failed because of poor management and poor regulatory oversight.
Many big banks are woke including BOA but they did not fail.
SVB failed because of a run on the bank due to interest rates impacting the bond market where they sold a bunch of bonds at a huge loss to try offset future losses but then word got out and people ran on the bank so they may have caused their own demise by reacting too aggressively on long-term instruments. This could happen to other banks as well, depending how much of their portfolio is at risk they have.
Look for the SEC to require additional disclosure in 10K prospectively about risks of inflation on financial instruments. This could be similar to Enron where they had all these off balance sheet liabilities that were never reported and after that failure the SEC required additional disclosure on off balance sheet financial instruments and liabilities.
SVB not SVP.
F*ck you auto correct!

Dumb remark! Would you say the same about Biden?
So Pence is changing his story NOW. For the last 2 years he supposedly stood by Trump and kept in contact with him but NOW he says his family was endangered. Why would you keep in contact or support someone you think should be held accountable for a violent mob or put your family at risk?
Sounds like Pence is being very Romneyesque, sticking his finger in the air and trying to cover his own butt to get in good graces if he thinks Trump doesn’t wins the primary.

I don’t remember banks collapsing under Trump… but don’t worry guys it’s only a matter of time till Biden/media blames him for that too. It has nothing to do with high interest rates / fed rate hikes necessitated by record inflation caused by his out of control spending.
745: He has had the same story since January 2021. He has tried to soften it a bit to appease the traitor MAGATs. But it generally is the same.
Tina,
Trump’s deregulation is to blame.
Pence is a classic victim of the Stockholm Syndrome.
it failed because of poor management”
Yeah, woke management.
So Ackman, the guy who wanted Trump to shut down the US economy for Covid because he thought it would ruin American companies if they remained opened for businesses, is now offering guidance on what the Feds should do on SVB.
Needless to say, he’s been implicated in a number of accusations and investigations over the years of trying to cry wolf and talking down certain companies so he could then go in and benefit from the deceased share price of bad news reported on them.

Many big banks are woke including BOA but they did not fail.”
SVB by its own admission was the wokest of them all. Nobody denies many businesses are woke but SVB wore it on their sleeve so to speak.
They were throwing money away on “green ventures” without regard to viability.
The were throwing money away funding causes that brought no return on the investment.
That is wokism and the reason for their failure.
And “poor regulatory oversight” my ass. Bank are already over regulated and this comes at a huge cost.
Once again Tgca is quick with the “Occupy Wall Street” talking points.
There would have been no “run on the bank”, “selling bonds to offset future losses” etc. if the bank was not pretending to be a welfare agency instead of a financial institution.
Home Depot co-founder is smarter than Tgca, no surprise there.
“On Saturday, Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus insinuated that “woke” policies like the ones launched by Ersapah could have led to the SVB’s dramatic failure.
“I feel bad for all of these people that lost all their money in this woke bank. You know, it was more distressing to hear that the bank officials sold off their stock before this happened. It’s depressing to me,” he told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto.
“Who knows whether the Justice Department would go after them? They’re a woke company, so I guess not. And they’ll probably get away with it.”
The businessman blamed the Biden administration for pushing companies and banks to consider global warming over shareholder returns, resulting in catastrophic economic pitfalls.
“These banks are badly run because everybody is focused on diversity and all of the woke issues and not concentrating on the one thing they should, which is, shareholder returns,” Marcus said.
“Instead of protecting the shareholders and their employees, they are more concerned about the social policies. And I think it’s probably a badly run bank.
“They’ve been there for a lot of years. It’s pathetic that so many people lost money that won’t get it back.”
“These banks are badly run because everybody is focused on diversity and all of the woke issues and not concentrating on the one thing they should, which is, shareholder returns,” Marcus said.
That’s it.
Wokeness had nothing to do with the SVB failure. That’s right-wing talking points because it’s a Silicon Valley company. It could happen to another small bank outside woke Caleefawnyuh too.
Many large companies are woke and do exceptionally well financially. It’s just some are better at managing risk than others.
Most large companies have community outreach, a.k.a woke VPs to handle woke issues but that does not consume a CEO and CFO time to the point it ignored its financial management. That’s nonsense and not been my experience in Corporate America. My last company went totally woke, but the effort had very little to do with our CFO managing the financials.
Every company I worked for, multi-billion dollar firms in the Fortune 500, has these wokesters as part of their team pushing D&I programs but it doesn’t consume the most senior executive VP from doing their job.
It appears this was more a financial strategy gone bad. They tried shore up and cut potential losses to their balance sheet and had an unexpected consequence of people running on the back once word got out. If word never got out, there’d be no run on the bank and most would never have heard of SVB.
Zzzzz, ….what a load of crap.
The reason they had losses was precisely because they were too woke for their own good.
“Right wing” talking points.
Funny.
This is the problem and why SVB failed. Nothing else.
“These banks are badly run because everybody is focused on diversity and all of the woke issues and not concentrating on the one thing they should, which is, shareholder returns,” Marcus said.
“Instead of protecting the shareholders and their employees, they are more concerned about the social policies. And I think it’s probably a badly run bank.
It appears this was more a financial strategy gone bad. ”
Yeah, the “financial strategy” of wokism.
Investing in wokism and woke issues instead of seeking return to shareholders.
More….
SVB had NO head of ‘risk assessment’ for nine months before it collapsed… as woke boss for Europe, Middle East and Africa was busy organizing a month-long Pride campaign and a ‘Lesbian Visibility Day”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11848705/Woke-head-risk-assessment-Silicon-Valley-Bank-accused-prioritizing-diversity-issues.html
Tgca, do you honestly think this is the sort of activity a bank head of risk management should be spending time on?
“A head of risk management at Silicon Valley Bank spent considerable time spearheading multiple “woke” LGBTQ+ programs, including a “safe space” for coming out stories, as the firm catapulted toward collapse.
Jay Ersapah, the boss of Financial Risk Management at SVB’s UK branch, launched initiatives such as the company’s first month-long Pride campaign and a new blog emphasizing mental health awareness for LGBTQ+ youth.
Director of Diversity Role Models and mentor of Migrant Leaders”?
In addition to instituting SVB’s first “safe space catch-up” — which encouraged employees to share their coming out stories — and serving on LGBTQ+ panels around the world, Ersapah also spent time over the last year serving as a director for Diversity Role Models and volunteering as a mentor for Migrant Leaders.
“I feel privileged to co-chair the LGBTQ+ ERG and help spread awareness of lived queer experiences, partner with charitable organizations, and above all, create a sense of community for our LGBTQ+ employees and allies.”
They tried shore up and cut potential losses to their balance sheet and had an unexpected consequence of people running on the back once word got out. If word never got out, there’d be no run on the bank and most would never have heard of SVB.”
I don’t disagree with this. My point is that the reason they had so many losses was that they were not concentrating on returns to shareholders.
I knew Jadon was going to quote a retired mid 90s year-old Marcus because I saw that same article. Jadon is channeling Gordy and relying on articles from magazines or sites that support his dislike of Silicon Valley.
That is the view of one old conservative leaning f*ck who would not fit into a changing Corporate America today but if you look at what actually happened at SVB, it was not about wokeness, it was about risk management.
1st, I agree many companies today are overly woke but that was NOT the cause here for SVB. It was bad financial strategy and risk management, as well as oversight. It could happen to any of the other myriad of small banks too.
2nd, I’ve spent decades working in accounting and finance providing the analyses that CEO and CFO use to prep in the quarterly investor relations conferences to answer market analyst questions. I spent decades reviewing disclosures in annual reports and 10K and disclosing risks as well spending hours with our SEC lawyers reviewing what we can and can’t say to the public about financial transactions. I’ve spent decades in meetings with CFO going over questions they had before making certain financial decisions. It’s what people like me do. We provide the analysis and talking points for many of these leaders while they determine the strategy and make the decisions. You think a CFO comes up with the tax strategy on a multi-billion dollar asset investment/divestment? No, it’s usually some well paid HOT management subject matter expert like myself that does it. So unless Jadon has directly worked on such transactions or is a CPA for decades, he can read all the articles he wants with Gordy but he is barking up the wrong tree. This was a failure due to risk management and not wokeness.
3rd, as for clean energy investments, face it, that’s where the world is moving just like it moved to computers and aviation at one point. There will be many failures along the way. I know! I’ve seen companies in the energy industry jump into technologies only to abandon them later because the cash flows don’t pan out as expected, and they wrote them off or sell them at a loss. But that is where risk comes in. Finding the right venture and ensuring you have the right team to mange the risk. At one time, many thought Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Google, etc, were not sure investments either.

Hi
@Mike_Pence
I was wondering if you could explain why you cheered on a crowd two days before election, telling them “we’ve all got our doubts.”
Contrasted w/your silence on Jan 5th & Jan 6th UNTIL you sent your tweet at 1:02pm – exactly as fences were breached.
760
But that is about risk management and not wokeness.
I’ve had my share of disagreements with project managers over the years on whether an asset investment was worth it or not. But people are infallible and often make bad decisions.
Think Enron. Many of us knew Enron was a problem waiting to explode. I was intimately aware of a similar energy commodities adventure that went belly up. We always thought it was a bad investment but us HOTTIES in finance don’t call the shots. We just do the analysis and talking points.
Vivek Ramaswamy: I Disagree with DeSantis’ Disney Tactics
I’m glad he agrees with my EXPERT opinion. Bullying companies to your viewpoint by weaponizing gubbermint is not only wrong but will backfire in the long run.
The Floreedah GOP got pissed at Disney for criticizing them and refusing to give them future donations so they abused their gubbermint power by passing a law to target Disney. They would NEVER had otherwise done that.
This was NEVER about Disney’s culture or wokeness. It was about weaponizing gubbermint against people they don’t like to fall in line, just like we see in CA, GA, and NY.
If every state did that to its businesses, we’d have chaos because Dems can force change to their liking as well against companies in their state.
The Floreedah GOP handled the issue poorly and became just like those they oppose on the left.
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2023/03/12/vivek-ramaswamy-i-disagree-with-desantis-disney-tactics/
knew Jadon was going to quote a retired mid 90s year-old Marcus because I saw that same article. Jadon is channeling Gordy and relying on articles from magazines or sites that support his dislike of Silicon Valley.”
Zzzz…
I would have said the same about a woke bank in Bittersville, PA.
And btw, I know Tgca is an “expert”, but frankly I would take the view of a “retired mid 90s year-old Marcus” who is the wildly successful founder of Home Depot and a billionaire over Tgca’s “Occupy WS” talking points.
No offense.
Also, the problem is not “clean energy investments”. You can invest in projects that make sense (see Elon Musk) and yes, some will fail. But there has to be an underlying science and potential financial return. Banks are not charities. The problem is when you put money into projects for purely political purposes and for a woke agenda. And it seems SVB did plenty of that. There parameter was not return on investment, but wokeness and “diversity” and “climate change”.
What BS.
The Golden Calf has intelligently and correctly understood that if you don’t fight wokeness at the corporate level and in schools you are destined to continue the slide towards socialism.
His actions against Disney are entirely justified and has nothing to do with “weaponizing government”.
ANd Tgca is lying about his motivation.
It was Disney that announced they would use their resources to overturn Florida laws.
And Vivek is smoking some good sh-t if he thinks corporate wokism can be reversed “through the markets”. If that was the case why isn’t it happening? I am a big believer in the markets, but unfortunately woke corporate America is too far gone.
It took a leader like the Golden Calf to make positive changes that might actually reverse the trend. At least in FL. Let’s hope other GOP politicians see the light too.
Sen. John Kennedy: “The only way I know how to improve the President’s budget is with a shredder.”
Maybe this guy should be President.
This was a failure due to risk management and not wokeness.”
Tgca keeps repeating this a la Goebbels but it doesn’t hold water no matter how many times you repeat it.
If risk management failed to understand that making financial decisions based on woke politics and a political agenda instead of decisions that maximized returns to shareholders, then yes, it was the failure of risk management.
But the underlying reason was the failure to conform to good banking practices, in favor of woke politics.
So the failure had EVERYTHING to do with wokiness.
Red tide in Florida is killing more fish than Tgca.

Your argument is borderline incoherent. Disney was granted POLITICAL governing power, took a political position, and their POLITICAL Power was curtailed by a higher political body. No different than a state government firing a woke DA.
This isn’t weaponizing government. It is government. And to prove it, Disney is no worse off than any other theme park or other private business.
We cancelled our plans to take our grandchildren to Disney World. Also discontinued our Disney+ subscription. Disney is dead to me.
I only saw 3 of the Best Picture nominees. Top Gun Maverick, The Banshees of some Irish town, and All Quiet on the Western Front.
All Quiet was good but went away from the book.
The Irish one was good as long as you accept the Irish really do crazy things out of spite.
Top Gun was awesome. Perfect sequel.
Perp walk this liar.

Well, if you’re going to use wealth as a measurement of business advice, maybe Marcus can sit down and take some notes and learn from extremely successful billionaires nearly half his age or more and learn from them about market conditions and building companies that outshine his.
His measly $6B fortune is nothing compared to wealth Zuckerberg, Page, Brin, Musk built, who all are worth 10+ times more than him and run companies just as large if not much larger in revenues and earnings, and built their companies in a much shorter time period.
So if Bill Gates comes out and disagrees with Marcus, then you’ll defer to Bill since he is vastly more successful than Marcus…riiiiiiight?
766
So Jadon agrees it is acceptable to weaponize the gubbermint to target those you view as a threat.
DeSanctimonius is pushing the EXACT same thing that DA in NY and GA are doing. Use the power of their offices to go after political targets.
…and for the record, though I despised Disney ever since they used foreign workers to replace US workers, forcing them to train their foreign replacements or forfeit benefits, I think they have every right to say that they will use their donations to get people elected that share their views. This happens all the time on the right and left and in business.
What the Floreedah GOP did was say if you’re not going to give us donations and try to influence voters to vote for others instead of us, we will use state gubbermint to target you and harm your business.
That’s a BIG difference! It’s neither conservative or ethical.
772 Great take BL. I think Maverick Top Gun was hands down the best movie. I mean classic Hollywood great. My adult children don’t see it winning because it isn’t woke.
So if Bill Gates comes out and disagrees with Marcus, then you’ll defer to Bill since he is vastly more successful than Marcus…riiiiiiight?”
No, I won’t agree with him.
I just said I would certainly take Marcus’ view before I took your Occupy Wall St view.
Everyone knows Bill Gates is woke. If you want to agree with him, be my gues.
Your argument is borderline incoherent. Disney was granted POLITICAL governing power, took a political position, and their POLITICAL Power was curtailed by a higher political body. No different than a state government firing a woke DA.

I don’t normally agree with MC, especially since he thinks I am not part of Western Civilization, but he is spot on.
Tgca is completely misrepresenting both Disney’s and the Golden Calf’s positions.
I don’t think it will win because it is a big budget action film and Hollywood wants odd or quirky films to win now. That is why Bsnshees and Everywhere are favorites.
771 Tom
Good for you! You made a consumer choice. The gubbermint should not make it for you.
I agree you let the market decide if you don’t like the culture of a company or not. You can’t regulate cultural values. Society dictates that and not politicians. The fact society is changing and companies are aligning with different cultural segments is part of the free market.
Jadon is always talking about a free market. Yet he abandons that concept when it comes to Disney.
Well, a free market does not exist in Floreedah if you have legislators threatening to harm your business by passing punitive laws because they get in a tiff with you over cultural values, and want to bully you into submission.
It was wrong when legislators in other states tried to go after Chick-Fil-A a few years back just as it was wrong for the Floreedah GOP to go after Disney in this case.
…and if I recall correctly, anyone here with an opinion on the matter was against gubbermint penalizing Chick-fil-A for their cultural choices.
If we can’t listen to Marcus’ opinion because he only has 6 billion, should we listen to Tgca?
A friend wants to know.
Disney is free to donate to whom they want.
They are not entitled to use their POLITICAL POWER which the state awarded them for political purposes.
The governor of Florida can take any political view he wants. So can the CEO of Disney.
But the Governor of Florida cannot use state power or funds to benefit one party or another, and neither should Disney. As a self governing entity they should not be using that power to subvert the laws of the state of Florida.
“Disney has self-governed itself for more than 50 years. In 1967, the Florida state legislature created the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) which acts with the same authority and responsibility as a county government.”
I saw Maverick.
I liked it.
It means it won’t win.
Tgca has an interesting but transparent tactic, and it has gotten old.
He makes up a bunch of sh-t and then attacks whatever fake sh-t he made up.
Zzzzzz…..
778
MC is delusional and uninformed. This was NEVER about Disney operating as a gubbermint and following rules.
It was about Disney refusing to donate to the Floreedah GOP and using their influence, as allowed by SCOTUS precedent, to support politicians it feels better represents their political views.
If Disney NEVER threatened to use its donations to try and find politicians who better aligned with their views, then the Floreedah GOP would not have targeted them with legislation.
As much as I despise Disney, they have a right to support the culture they feel represents their employees or consumers, no matter how much we disagree. The US is changing drastically culturally, especially amongst the young, and some here are hoping extreme political actions will change course but it won’t. You CAN’T legislate culture in companies just like you can’t regulate sexual behavior of consenting adults, which the GOP has also tried to do in the past. Change is going to happen, like it or not.
When Chick-fil-A and other conservative companies similarly pushed their culture and were targeted by politicians, people here had a hissy fit it for being wrong…and it was.
The Floreedah GOP has moved radically right and is endangering the national GOP by association. They are no different then the radical left politicians in Caleefawnyuh. I expect in 2024 GOP political candidates in ALL states will be asked to defend extreme legislation being pushed in Floreedah. Do they agree with it or not.
“A lab leak could be that someone was out in the wild, maybe looking for different types of viruses in bats, got infected, went into a lab, and was being studied in a lab, and then it came out of the lab. But if that’s the definition of a lab leak, Jim, then that still is a natural occurrence.”
LOL, this guy has an active imagination.
Of course there are millions of interactions with bats all over the world every day, and this never happened.
What a load of BS.
It was about Disney refusing to donate to the Floreedah GOP and using their influence, as allowed by SCOTUS precedent, to support politicians it feels better represents their political views.”
BS.
Disney was NOT using its power as a company that oversees a district. It was using its right under the law to support candidates it feels aligns with its political views.
Disney is NOT a gubbermint agency. It is a publicly held company with worldwide locations and investors.
SCOTUS says they have a right to support political views.
Floreedah weaponized gubbermint to try and penalize Disney for engaging in legal political speech.
787
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Thinking the Floreedah GOP did not target Disney because of the threat to withhold donations and seek other politicians who represent their views is like saying the DA in GA and NY are not engaging in political targets against Trump and they’re just following the spirit of the law to hold him accountable for his actions that violated the law.
It’s preposterous and lacks credibility. Everyone I know thinks this was to teach Disney a lesson. If you think that was not the case, you’re dumberer than I thought. Even many in the GOP acknowledge this.
784
Deflection as usual because I contradicted you and exposed your hypocrisy just like I’ve done on Dr. Fow-chee, Zelenskyy, illegal immigration, ABORTION, and getting duped by internet scams of doctors who lose their license pushing garbage science.
You say let the markets be free but believe it’s ok to force Disney into submission by targeting them through legislation because of their tiff with politicians over cultural matters.
You twist yourself into a pretzel like Romney trying to defend the indefensible.
Now good night and GFY.
Hugs and kisses
Tcga is arguing a non-issue. It largely doesn’t matter why the government took away Disneys political power. The exercise of political power is often arbitrary. The point is Disney has no right to exercise that power and the government can reclaim it.
791
The exercise of political power is often arbitrary.
So then you’re fine with the DOJ and FBI targeting, as well as state DA targeting Republicans because political power is often arbitrary.
So they can go after GOPers for the smallest infractions and throw the book at them, prosecute them, and jail them because they have the politics power to do so and using it is arbitrary.
Do you even know how you sound defending that?
Under your logic, every J6 person arrested could be charged for insurrection and treason and executed because political power is arbitrary.
You are making excuses for the Floreedah GOP which is to the extreme right of the GOP base just like the Caleefawnyuh Dem politicians are to the extreme left of their base.
I suspect the national GOP is soon going to start rejecting the Floreedah GOP as extreme. A number of high profile conservatives are already criticizing some of these proposed legislation like:
Denying the Dems from holding office because they once supported slavery
Outlawing ABORTION essentially using a 6 weeks rule which is absurd since many women haven’t even confirmed by that time they are pregnant.
Requiring bloggers reporting on state politicians to register with the gubbermint and providing a list of their donors and their contact info
Requiring public universities to report on LGBTQ students seeking behavioral counseling and who they are referred to
Creating a DEPORATION office to deport illegal aliens giving temporary stay status by the feds that would allow Floreedah to go to other states to deport them to other states as well.
You are confusing executive power with policy. It’s wrong to enforce laws arbitrarily. However, a legislature can decide to enact policies that favor certain groups over others, as long as the discrimination is not based on race, etc.
You can prefer optomalogists to optamatrists (sp). The name of the case is Williams v Lee Optical. A number of the proposals you criticize run afoul constitutional rights. Taking away Disneys sweetheart deal doesn’t. You are a great 1990s R – all complaining and no fight.
SAVE Disney’s ( Interior) Island Empire! There’s a new cause.
I recall reading somewhere that what the Legislature giveth,the Legislature can taketh. Has the clear,unambiguous history that a subsequent Legislature ALWAYS has the right to change or repealed what a prior Legislature has done.
Like the Supreme Court can rescind prior precedent.
Disney had no right to a geographic, political Empire within the boundaries of the Sovereign State of Florida. Period.
Raising its head above the political trench line was 100% on Disney.
Disney was NOT using its power as a company that oversees a district. It was using its right under the law to support candidates it feels aligns with its political views.”
Wrong.
It was using its POLITICAL power granted by the state to subvert that state’s laws.
Disney wants to self govern but also use that self governing power for a partisan agenda.
That is what is wrong. It is not about donations.
“Florida state Rep. Spencer Roach (R) tweeted Wednesday that state legislators have met about repealing the 1967 Reedy Creek Improvement Act, which established the Reedy Creek Improvement District, a special taxing district that essentially enables Walt Disney World to act as its own city.
Rather than local governments, Disney is in control of everything from construction zoning, building codes and fire department services to controlling its own electricity, roads and water, meaning if the law is repealed, Disney will now have to get government approval for decisions about its operations—which might be harder or take longer to get.
Florida lawmakers had also granted in 2021 a carveout in a law banning any form of “censorship” by social media companies that exempts companies with theme parks, which the lawmaker behind that amendment said was designed to ensure Disney Plus would not be affected.
DeSantis suggested Thursday he wants the legislature to repeal that amendment—though the law is right now blocked in court anyway—saying during a press conference “it was embarrassing” it was part of the law to begin with.
Disney has also helped influence a number of other pieces of legislation—an omnibus transportation bill passed in 2019 has an exemption for Reedy Creek, for instance, Florida Trend reports, and the company helped write a bill that makes it easier for theme parks to offload lost-and-found items—that lawmakers could also revisit if they wanted to.
“There’s a lot of special privileges that are not justifiable, but because Disney had held so much sway, they were able to sustain a lot of special treatment over the years,” DeSantis said Thursday. “And now with their conduct … I just don’t think you have very many people in the legislature anymore that are going to be able to defend what has been done over many, many years to have them govern themselves.”
Requiring bloggers reporting on state politicians to register with the gubbermint and providing a list of their donors and their contact info”
More lies by Tgca.
This was a proposed law by an individual lawmaker. The Golden Calf did not propose it or approve of it. And in fact he attacked it.
So to put his on the Golden Calf is the usually despicable garbage Tgca accuses him of.
Even the AP, no friend of the Golden Calf, states that this accusation is pure garbage
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. A bill filed in the Florida Senate would require bloggers to register with the state and submit periodic reports if they are paid for posts about elected officials. However, the bill was filed by Republican Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur, not DeSantis. The Republican governor said at a press conference on Tuesday that he does not support the bill.
THE FACTS: Social media users have erroneously claimed in recent days that DeSantis is in favor of the bill, which was filed last week and introduced to the Senate on Tuesday.
“Ron DeSantis wants bloggers who write about him to register with the state or face fines,” one tweet states. “This is exactly what fascism looks like.” It had received nearly 30,000 likes and more than 6,000 shares as of Wednesday.
But it was Brodeur who filed the bill and DeSantis has not publicly supported the legislation since it was filed. DeSantis clarified his position on Tuesday at a press conference following his State of the State address:
I see these people filing bills and then there’s articles with my face on the article saying that oh, they’re going to have to — bloggers are going to have to register for the state,” he said. “And then it’s like, attributing it to me. And I’m like, ok, that’s not anything that I’ve ever supported, I don’t support.”
Tgca is free to apologize to the Golden Calf anytime.
The US to sell Russian assets and give the money to Ukraine. It is one way to compensate Ukraine for all the damage Russia is inflicting.
The Putin toadies should support this but instead will call it “escalation”.
“WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. has begun an aggressive new push to inflict pain on Russia’s economy and specifically its oligarchs with the intent of thwarting the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.
From the Treasury Department to the Justice Department, U.S. officials will focus on efforts to legally liquidate the property of Russian oligarchs, expand financial penalties on those who facilitate the evasion of sanctions, and close loopholes in the law that allow oligarchs to use shell companies to move through the U.S. financial system.
Andrew Adams, who heads the KleptoCapture task force, designed to enforce the economic restrictions within the U.S. imposed on Russia and its billionaires, told The Associated Press that the group is prioritizing its efforts to identify those who help Russians evade sanctions and violate export controls.
“These illicit procurement networks will continue to take up an ever-increasing amount of our bandwidth,” said Adams, who also serves as acting deputy assistant attorney general.
So far, more than $58 billion worth of sanctioned Russians’ assets have been blocked or frozen worldwide, according to a report last week from the Treasury Department. That includes two luxury yachts each worth $300 million in San Diego and Fiji, and six New York and Florida properties worth $75 million owned by sanctioned oligarch Viktor Vekselberg.
The U.S. has begun attempts to punish the associates and wealth managers of oligarchs — in Vekselberg’s case, a federal court in New York indicted Vladimir Voronchenko after he helped maintain Vekselberg’s properties. He was charged in February with conspiring to violate and evade U.S. sanctions.
The case was coordinated through the KleptoCapture group.
“I think it can be quite effective to be sanctioning facilitators,” Adams said, calling them “professional sanctions evasion brokers.”
A February study led by Dartmouth University researchers showed that targeting a few key wealth managers would cause far greater damage to Russia than sanctioning oligarchs individually.
Other attempts to inflict pain on the Russian economy will come from the efforts to liquidate yachts and other property owned by Russian oligarchs and the Kremlin, turning them into cash to benefit Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has long called for Russian assets to be transferred to Ukraine, and former Biden administration official Daleep Singh told the Senate Banking Committee on Feb. 28 that forfeiting Russia’s billions in assets held by the U.S. is “something we ought to pursue.”

The Biden Administration, Wall Street, Silicon Valley and all of their media/political mouthpieces are really working overtime to gaslight people into believing that their bank bailout isn’t actually a bank bailout. These people are disgusting. Charles Payne just went off on Fox News.
Woke bank collapses, blame Trump…
BIDEN: “During the Obama/Biden administration, we put in place tough requirements on banks…to make sure that the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again. Unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements.
“No taxpayer dollars will be used”.
It will be covered by fees paid by other banks, using taxpayer money.
Yikes, the meltdown is looking ugly.
We need the Clinton Groupie and the hoaxer to explain how this is trumps fault.

Hey, Amoral Scumbag, how is your moronic TDS strategy working out for you?
Are we a little short on country club Rs?
This is the party Jason fraud wants. One where Trump and Mastriano are the leaders.”
I am not a Republican.
But looking at “what the party wants”, it doesn’t look like they want suburban wine sipping liberal women to tell them what they want.
Good luck winning elections without the working class and “country brutes”.
Mastriano will lose to Toomey. Toomey could lose to another Republican not named Mastriano. Both can be true.
Toomey is the leader of the “personally opppsed to abortion but oppose any restrictions” club so the Dems would have to do something different than focus on the Dobbs decision. But Mastriano would still lose.
Let him and everybody else run in the primary.
Doesn’t matter who Republicans nominate for anything in Pennsylvania. They just lost a Senate seat by over 200K votes to a Marxist vegetable.
Still standing by that 2016 prediction that a Republican nominee would never win a Presidential election in Pennsylvania? It did not age well.
813 Should be Casey, not Toomey. I need a soda.
– This is the party Jason fraud wants. One where Trump and Mastriano are the leaders.”
I don’t support either Trump or Mastriano for 2024.
But if McCormick wants to win a primary, he will need to court Trump voters.
And he won’t do that by insulting Trump and his supporters.
Same with the Golden Calf btw.
Lol
You still on that 2016 one bitter? Republicans haven’t won a single thing in Pa since then. It’s now 2023 BTW and Republicans weren’t winning much of anything before 2016 either. As insurance against any more 2016 flukes your Democratic hacks on the Pa Supreme Court (all elected BTW) overhauled the electoral system instituting a Mail in ballot plus drop box system conducive to all kinds of fraud. No wonder Jason doesn’t bother to vote there. What’s the point?
Phil is right. Trump only won in 2016 because the Dems were asleep at the wheel. They believed the Princeton prof who gave Hillary a 99% chance of winning and the polls that showed Hillary winning PA. They made sure it didn’t happen again in 2020.
Words have meaning, Phil. “Never” seems to be a difficult concept for you. Republicans haven’t won a single thing? You could ask the GOP appellate judges, judges, members of the legislature and House why they don’t count in your hate-driven and false summary. “Single” also has a meaning. A teacher should know that.
Hate driven?
LMAO. Nope. Simply stating the way it is in your state. Own it.
Your junior senator elect would be laughed off the ballot in most states not named California, Md, Mass, or NY.

Records reviewed by CBS News indicate the U.S. government may have paid twice for projects at China’s Wuhan labs through the National Institutes of Health and USAID. A probe into the funding is raising questions about the use of the money.
I watched and posted about all of that debate. But you know that.
Point is that you elected an obvious and certified vegetable to the Senate – and elected him by a comfortable 5 pts BTW….and you want to argue that Pa is competitive? Really? Based on one fluke election seven years ago held under a system your state doesn’t even use anymore? As Jason just stated, your Democratic overlords sure as hell made sure that won’t be happening again.
Take it up with the dictionary, Phil. Using the word “never” is a bad habit at HHR.
Senator John Fetterman.
Says all that needs to be said.
I voted for Oz. Fetterman is not my fault.
Mastriano was to MAGA and extreme for PA. We got that.
But what about Oz. A mainstream R, nothing MAGA. A renowned physician. An immigrant. A moderate on abortion. A clear winner in the debate against Fetterman. Well funded, contrary to Mastriano. Everything a suburbanite should love.
He should have killed Fetterman in the Philly suburbs.
Chester lost by 42k 57-40
Delaware lost by 70k 63-35
Montco lost by 113k 63-35
That margin is about what he lost the entire state by. He even kept Phila Co loss to under 350k.
Fetterman banked over 900k VBM votes BEFORE the debate. Just there he probably built a margin of over 300k votes, so it didn’t matter he lost the vote that came after.
So much for the BS that Zelensky is “outlawing Christianity”

Did Adam Schiff or Tgca say this?
“In 2018 under Trump, I opposed Wall Street’s effort to loosen regulation over banks like Silicon Valley Bank.
But it passed, and now ordinary workers and families may pay a very heavy price.
This is an oversight failure — in addition to a failure by the bank’s management.”
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have been working with four witnesses with close ties to the Bidens, who have provided documents and other evidence tying the Bidens to the Chinese Communist Party.
“It’s as bad as we thought… Since we’ve last spoken we have bank records in hand. We have individuals who are working with our committee,” Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“In the last two weeks we’ve met with either these individuals personally or with their attorneys. And that would be four individuals who had ties in with the Biden family in their various schemes around the world. So now we have in hand documents We have in hand documents in hand that show just how the Biden family was getting money from the Chinese Communist Party.”
Let’s see.
Seen on the Internet:
“Pence and Haley are going to compete for the title of the next “JEB!”
Funny, but no matter how badly they fail, they will never match the spectacular Jeb! mega fiasco, 250 million dollars for 4 delegates.
“It’s an indication that the Saudis and others are trying to hedge their bets with China and Russia, because they don’t think the United States has the resolve and fortitude necessary to do what they need to do to protect the world against Iran and its intentions both on the terrorist front and the nuclear front.”
Yep, such are the fruits of isolationism and protectionism.
Pence and Haley are going to compete for the title of the next JEB.
……and what a colossal competition it will be.
Being the next JEB is quite a goal. I can’t see anyone reaching it. It would be a really heavy lift. The fact that Pence and Haley are set to compete in the JEB lane shows just how far out of touch with Republican voters these two really are. Popcorn time.

I still can’t believe “Everything Everywhere All at Once” won best pic. I watched it like a week ago, because I’m a fan of Michelle Yeoh. I fell asleep, woke up and finished watching it.
It reminded me of a Dr. Who meets Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy meets Inception movie. It was all over the place with convoluted silly dream-like scenes and just kinda senseless. It was trying to be a comedy, drama, sci-fi, and fantasy movie all in one.
A bit too artsy fartsy for me but I guess its advocates will say it’s creative genius and transcends levels in movie-making. To me it’s as creative genius as the The Pet Rock.
Hollywood is really out of ideas I can see.

Glad we do not have a weak president like Trump during times like this.
Paul is conflicted like many libs. Trump was a dictator AND a weak President.
So after getting a substantial part of his private army mowed down in human wave attacks, the head of the Wagner Group is going to recruit the next group of suckers. Even Russians in prison are hearing joining the Wagner Group amounts to a death sentence:
“The paramilitary organisation is at the heart of the Russian assault on Bakhmut. Its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has staked his reputation, and that of his private army, on seizing Bakhmut.
He said on Sunday that the situation in the city was “difficult, very difficult, the enemy is fighting for every metre”.
“And the closer to the city centre, the fiercer the fighting,” he said in a voice recording published on Telegram.
After his envisioned capture of Bakhmut, “we will begin to reboot” and “will start recruiting new people from the regions”, he said.
And on Saturday, the Institute for the Study of War – a US think tank – reported that Moscow’s offence was stalling.
“Wagner Group fighters are likely becoming increasingly pinned in urban areas… and are therefore finding it difficult to make significant advances,” it said.”
QB Aaron Rogers is now a NY Jet!

This link takes you to Tucker Carlsons clip tonight regarding the GOP candidates position on Ukraine and Russia.
BL, SDC, and Jason It looks like Pence is your guy.
Really liked the point Noem made regarding sanctions and the US dollar. Very insightful.
Great idea to get the candidates to respond to a policy position.
I hope he continues to do this type of thing regarding all issues.
With the largest audience on cable it would be difficult for a candidate to ignore.

Ukraine has its own Pravda. Definitely not the Russian version.
JeffP – Thanks. I don’t watch Putin’s apologist. If Pence runs and he is the strongest candidate on military aide to Ukraine, he will get my vote in the primary.
Good segment from Tucker. Don’t usually like him, but helpful to know where everyone is on Ukraine.

Well, no need to follow Trump (give Ukrainian land to Russia) or DeSantis (Protecting Ukraine is not a vital US interest) in the primaries since neither will get my vote.
858. I am registered as NP (No Party) in California. A NP voter cannot vote in the Republican primary, but can vote in the Democratic primary. In the General Election I will not vote for a candidate who opposes aid to Ukraine. Since every elective office in my area is held by a Democrat, and Biden is likely to win California by over 60%, it not going to matter much. I will only donate to Republicans who support continuing aid to Ukraine.
Endless and unaccounted bucks to Ukraine is a campaign liability. It’s due to the worsening inflation and bad economic news. This cannot costinue
Moreover biden allowed for russsia to take Ukraine. I have posted his statements about allowing an incursion numerous times.
Trumps statement to tucker.
https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1635445988381925379?cxt=HHwWhoC9rcTdorItAAAA
Since Zelensky did not agree with a Russian invasion, Biden’s pre-war statements are irrelevant now.

Your pal allowed for the incursion.
You just have to deal with it.
When you project strength pooty poot backs off.

See the obumbler, mute 43 and Biden.
Statements have consequences.
The irony is Romney in Utah has strongly supported Ukraine aid. I and many other have buried the hatchet and will be supporting his re-election in Utah next year.
Bailing out the banks will cause even more inflation. The fed cannot do sheot now.
It will get even uglier.
Btw gas is now over $5 a gallon here. Pooty poots price hike parroted dementia and team uni party.
You can only stupidity raid the Sr so many times.
The bks of the banks will have a huge hit to the economy.
I am sure Romney will get the support of you; Romney press (deserted news) and the cia plant.
Zzzzzzzz Trump got my vote in 2016 and 2020.
Trump’s plan is almost as useless as China’s “plan.” Trump did not get my primary vote in 2016 because of his vicious attack attack on McCain’s service as a POW. Now he blows it again.
861. Bitter, polling shows Republicans are about split down the middle on the Ukraine. That type of division, in contrast to a united Democratic Party, may result in a lackluster showing for the Republicans, similar to the 2022 midterm election.
We are talking about two very old senior citizens running for president against each other in 2024. Quite honestly both parties need to nominate younger candidates.
You are in Pennsylvania, bitter. Doesn’t matter who you vote for. The Democrat wins when the votes are “counted”.
Thankfully, Phil’s Pennsylvania predictions are useless.
SDC – I will vote, as always, for whomever wins the GOP nomination. Even those who excuse Putin’s crimes in Ukraine.
859. I just got back from Utah a couple of days ago. Gas was $3.75. The Democratic nutjobs and their bizarre California gas regulations are why gas is so high in California. However never fear — California will spend several hundred billion dollars more on the bullet train, and in 20 years you will be able to travel between Bakersfield and Merced at an amazing speed.

Anyone supporting Romney is like Neville Chamberlain.
How many times do you have to deceived by a guy with no principles other than wanting to be in office?
He knew J6 was a hoax and the fact the tapes and other info now being released proves what a useful idiot he was for the Dems.
He is fine with peaceful protestors going to jail just because of his TDS but he publicly embraces violent things in BLM to score some favorable coverage. To me, that is unforgivable, to let people be destroyed as pawns in politics.
He’s got to be one of the worst GOP senators ever to serve. I think Joe McCarthy had more principles than Romney.
Utahans that support Romney are on the same par as those that supported Fetterman. Careless voters who don’t realize the moron they’re voting for.
“What are your thoughts on Saudi Arabia and Iran re-establishing diplomatic relations?”
BIDEN: “The better the relations between Israel and their Arab neighbors, the better for everybody.”
Romney is anti American and a fascist.
I will vote for a Drat before voting for that pig.
All efforts should be spent on primarying him.
Notice how fast he supported bailing out SVB.
ALL THOSE CCP DEPOSITS.
Romney marched with Antifa.
He was fine with them destroying our cities.
I read that the bailout of svb and their Ccp interests would stop this madness,

What a bigoted and STOOPID comment!
Age should not be a factor for candidacy. Physical and cognitive ability to perform the job should be the only qualifications that matter.
Many older people are more sharp and energetic than their younger opponents.
Trump and Sanders are two examples of guys who are sharp, alert, and full of energy, regardless of how you feel about their politics and they can energize younger audiences much more than their opponents could.
Trump has more energy and charisma than any current GOPer under consideration.
Even someone like Dr. Fow-chee, who I detest with every fiber of my being, is a very sharp, alert individual that could compete with anyone 30 to 40 years his junior in a debate on issues.
If SDC is arguing age, then I assume he agrees Reagan should NEVER had been a candidate either which is silly since he was a good effective president.
…and for that matter, if age representing the majority in a way people can relate to is that important to SDC, then I assume he agrees gay people should be disqualified from being candidates as well since they are such a small percent of population and their life style and views don’t represent the vast majority of the country, and therefore they can’t effectively represent the people as a leader.
I’m sure SDC supports this as well for the best of the country even though it would be discriminatory towards gays.
Other than education and career desires, gay men have very little in common with heterosexuals which make up over 90% of the country so why would a gay man be a good fit to be president? It’s like having a cat leading a dog pack.
It really is too bad that Trump can’t come to terms with his main issue, his toxicity. It shines through in his attacks on DeSantis. They are beyond disgusting and untrue. He is unpalatable for far too many Americans. His need to make every issue about the preservation of his own ego makes him radioactive. He needs to stop. He won’t. And he will lose a general election if he gets the nomination.
Trump is so full of BS tonight. Not even worth repeating and DeSantis lives rent free in his head.
I guarantee you Kim Reynolds will endorse DeSantis. I don’t think those GOP red state Governor s area going to like Trumps approach the way he is treating one of their own. She looked very uncomfortable introducing Trump compared to the bright countenance the other night introducing a certain GOP candidate.
Trump compares DeSantis to Romney and Ryan. Both he endorsed btw. Trumps going to cost the GOP the house and lose seats in the senate on top of himself losing in 2024. My wife wonders if he is controlled opposition.

I don’t agree with Trump’s attacks on the Golden Calf.
That being said, the same people that have been calling Trump and his voter names for months and advocating for a GOP civil war are now upset that Trump is calling the Golden Calf names and they have their civil war?
The JeffPs, Skippys, SoHopes, Emls, Pitchs, etc. were fine with their scurrilous attacks on Trump and his “country brute” working class voters. They assured us it was fine to do this because Trump was finished and his voters didn’t matter.
Now that the polls show there are enough of the great unwashed they so despise to make Trump a serious contender they are whining about Trump attacking their candidate the same way they attacked Trump.
I have been warning here for months that casting the Golden Calf as the anti-Trump would be a mistake. That alienating his base instead of trying to incorporate it was a mistake. That pitting suburban elites against the working class was a mistake. That pushing for a GOP civil war would only help the Democrats. To the Golden Calf’s credit, he has not done this himself, but too many people propelling his candidacy have.

A lab leak could be that someone was out in the wild, maybe looking for different types of viruses in bats, got infected, went into a lab and was being studied in the lab, and then came out of the lab. But if that’s the definition of a lab leak, Jim, then that’s still a natural occurrence.”

I can replace Trump’s name with DeSanctimonius in your rant and it would describe him perfectly.
Jadon is right for once. You instigated a GOP civil war and you got it.
Sounds like you’re all worried now about Trump taking out DeSanctimonius. I hope so…as well as Haley, Pence, and anyone else who worked for him and are disloyal now. This does not sit well with many of us in the base. I won’t vote for any of them in the GE. That’s a guarantee.
I think Trump is correct on Romney and Ryan too. They look down on the base but expect the base to vote for them blindly. If i were in Utah, I would not waste my vote on Romney even if my vote decided the election.

The scary thing is that someone who proposes that is still a viable candidate for President.

“Biden: “I can remember exactly when my epiphany [on supporting gay marriage] was … I was a senior in high school. And my dad was dropping me off and I remember I was about to get out of the car and I looked to my right and two well-dressed men in suits kissed each other.”
Its insane jason. Totally insane. NO SURGEON can make a boy into a functioning girl. NO SURGEON can turn a girl into a functioning boy. All they can do is make false promises and then turn the healthy child into a freak who will never become a biological parent.
And there was a story yesterday saying that most children who are being tricked into this are on the autism spectrum. We literally have surgeons, supported by this evil man in the white house who are preying on vulnerable children.
And Canada now wants to pressure children into being euthanized without parental consent. That will come to the USA as well. But first, before we get there, they will fully sexualize children, robbing them of their innocence.
DW
Parents only have themselves to blame that their kids are being socially engineered and indoctrinated because for a few decades now they have not been involved in their children’s lives sufficiently to guide and mold them.
Everybody’s too busy with work or having their own needs met that they delegated the oversight and influencing of their kids to others in academia, media, entertainment, internet, etc..
That’s why I think trying to legislate culture and behavior now will not work. It sounds good but it will fail.
There needs to be more time spent with kids in mentoring and developing them and being part of their lives or the leftist freaks will continue to fill that void.
So parents need only look in the mirror to see who is as fault in they can’t recognize their kids.
The trumpeteers need their heads examined.”
“Trumpeteers”….”country brutes”…
The suburban elitist genius who is so superior to the ignorant working class thinks a Republican can win an election solely with country club bluebloods.
I think the “genius” is the one who needs his head examined.
Since Trump announced first, does that mean that every candidate who announced after him is disloyal and instigating a civil war?
Parents can do everything right with their kids, and even then there can be the strong force of peer pressure and teacher indoctrination that can cause a child to be pressured into a horrible decision.
Yes, we absolutely can legislate that surgeons not be allowed to mutilate the genitals of a healthy child.
here is no graceful exit with him; he will burn the village”
The genius reaps what he sows.
Look in the mirror and you will see a “vindictive whiny man”.
Since Trump announced first, does that mean that every candidate who announced after him is disloyal and instigating a civil war?”
I don’t think anyone who runs is “disloyal”.
The TDS morons are the ones instigating a civil war.
They want to insult the “country brutes” and then expect them to fall in line behind their preferred candidate?
It won’t happen. It isn’t happening.
The TDS morons are too stupid to have learned the lesson that has been obvious since 2015. When Trump is attack, he hits back.
The GOP has a great candidate for President. The Golden Calf is young. A great record in Florida. Compelling messages. Great family.
The correct approach would have been to praise Trump for his many achievements as President, build on his legacy, embrace the working class voters and minorities he brought to the party, and present an alternative with similar potential.
Instead the TDS morons opted for the scorched earth approach, screw Trump and his voters, we don’t need them, we have a better candidate who is the anti-Trump, he will destroy Trump and emerge victorious from the GOP civil war and win the GE.
I knew this would backfire. I hoped I was wrong. I wasn’t.

These “country brutes” will decide the GOP primary. There are more of them than “geniuses” like Pitch.
To get their vote the Golden Calf has to sell himself as the “Trump that can win” and hope that he can persuade enough of them. As the anti-Trump candidate that despises the country brutes he won’t get ANY of their votes.
899 DW Completely agree.
Trump in my opinion is off his game. Nothing like 2016.
His attacks on DeSantis are not going over well with the base. Which ones…the ones that listen to Mark Levin, Clay & Buck, Glenn Beck and the like…and faithful Fox News viewers. Not to mention the hundreds of Twitter influencer’s who have praised DeSantis for his work in Florida.
Trump is not hitting back. DeSantis lives in his head and he is saying stupid sh*t. Nothing like 2016.
This elect me or the country is over is not exactly a winning message either.
In talking to the press yesterday he was blaming Pence for January 6th violence. Back to 2020 again.
Not using Twitter and his issues with Newscorp are also nothing like 2016.

#913. Why you have this fear is curious. You can read his book, which I have, and he loathes and despises “elites ,”Country Club “Corporatists, DC insiders, and Globalists and the like probably more than Trump does. This is an absurdly ignorant portrayal of DeSantis. He also goes out of his way( and always has, in Congress as well as Governor) to praise Trump for bringing these views to the fore, and in the GOP, and I can’t find much space at all as between them, other than DeSantis is more energetic and forceful on education issues( from the Right) and in his opposition to leftist culture.
BTW, with names, dates, numbers, and actions taken with specifics he shreds big time the drivel TGCA peddles here with regard to his stances and record, unfortunately sometimes by Tina also. She at least has an excuse, as she doesn’t live here.
Trump and his supporters have ZERO intelligible/factual reason to criticize Desantis in any way for being against Trump and his supporters. None
Other than as briefly mentioned above re )education/culture matters, the only issue between them seems to be is DeSantis is “disloyal” by running(Trump is not a hereditary Monarch), and( without saying so yet)because clearly he thinks Trump is too old, too rigid in his ways. and not electable.
That’s what I think too
PS TGCA The Parental Rights in Education Bill(“dont say gay”) was not introduced by DeSantis, who only got involved because of press badgering and the Disney lobbying. He then , after actually reading the Bill as it then stood, supported it and advised Disney to go quiet after it passed over their lobbying efforts. When they escalated opposition after it became law( and knowingly lying about it’s contents), and suing Florida, it was only at that point that Desantis considered the elimination of it’s special corporate status. In every case it was Disney’s initiative and continuing escalation of the issue, not DeSantis’s, that lost them their little corporate Kingdom in Florida.
And well deserved. it was all on them.

It is disloyal to run against your boss knowing that he was cheated from the last election so he is running again giving the fraud and deception has been exposed for all to see.
It is disloyal to run against the guy you sought for help to launch your career knowing that without him you would not have won and also knowing he was cheated from the last election so he is running again giving the fraud and deception has been exposed for all to see.
These people are opportunists and not to be trusted. They will not get my vote in the GE and I will influence as many as I can to also vote against them because they can’t fe trusted.
918 So Trump should get to run unopposed until he wins a second term or dies. Got it.
It is disloyal to run against the guy you sought for help to launch your career knowing that without him you would not have won”
Nah, it isn’t.
As long as the Golden Calf gives Trump credit for getting him elected in FL he has no “obligation”, moral or otherwise, not to run against him the future.
Sorry, that dog won’t hunt.
Every politician, including Trump, is an opportunist. He came down the escalator in 2015 to announce he was running. He was not ordained by God to run.

Enjoy your civil war.
Most Americans have been up for hours and are already at work by 9AM, actually earlier.
But Biden?
“Psaki: “President Biden does nothing at 9 AM… The fact that he [giving a speech about the bank failure] at 9 AM speaks to how vital the White House recognizes it is.”
Of course the less he works is probably better for the American people.
“Country Brutes”
Translation: hard working class people whose fruit of their labors allows Pitch his country club existence from which he feels entitled to insult them.
I agree with this piece by David Strom.
“The argument that the January 6th riot was particularly bad is based upon the claim that, unlike most riots, it was a direct attack upon the rule of law.
OK, I see the point. Personally, I think the January 6th riot was particularly awful because it was conservatives descending to the sort of tactics routinely embraced by the Left, but I concede that invading the US Capitol in that manner was really awful.
But again, I concede the point. January 6th was a dark day. It is embarrassing, and I hate having to defend anything about it.
But the response of the Democrats, the MSM, and the never-Trumpers has, if anything, been worse.
Why? Because the lawmakers and prosecutors represent the law, and they are using fascistic tactics to “defend the rule of law.”
The January 6th committee was nothing but a propaganda promotion machine, aided and abetted by the media whose sole desire was to smear all Republicans with the taint of the actions of the rioters. In doing so they grossly exaggerated the events of the 6th, falsely claiming that rioters murdered police officers, tried to kill lawmakers, and had the intention to take over the US government.
Worse, the prosecutors have been lying to the courts about the events that happened, and hiding evidence that would, if not exonerate, at least mitigate the guilt of defendants. They have kept defendants in solitary confinement for months and coerced them into guilty pleas.
Some way to defend the rule of law.
None of that was true, and the recent release of videos from the riot has clearly demonstrated.
We all saw the Tucker Carlson video of Jacob Chansley, in which his behavior was not even remotely similar to what was portrayed to the public. That video was withheld from Chansley’s lawyer, crippling the defense. This is illegal, and in a just world, it would vacate his guilty plea. I doubt that will happen.”
Btw, if anyone thinks the TDS morons are not insulting Trump’s working class supporters, here is the dictionary definition for “brute”
1. A savagely violent person or animal.
2. An animal as opposed to a human being
“Characterized by an absence of reasoning or intelligence”.
You reap what you sow.
Socialism is already here.
“Illinois will become one of three states to require employers to offer paid time off for any reason after Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a law on Monday that will take effect next year.
Starting Jan. 1, Illinois employers must offer workers paid time off based on hours worked, with no need to explain the reason for their absence as long as they provide notice in accordance with reasonable employer standards.”
930 So Mets fans are brutes? I agree.
Regarding polls. Jeb was ahead in 2015 at this point.
Trump is a known quantity. DeSantis might be well known by people in Florida and us that follow the daily news cycle and politics, however, there has to be a large percentage that don’t know much about him other than his name and title.

I agree you can and should legislate dangerous and risky medical procedures but that is very different than trying to legislate behavior and beliefs. Trying to pass laws telling teachers how to teach, what to teach, what to say or not say, etc does NOT work and is a reverse form of indoctrination.
The GOP in some states, usually Bible freaks, have a history of trying to legislate behavior, mostly related to sexual practices and lifestyles and they always fail and it turns people off to the GOP as extremists because it gets lotsa media coverage.
So let’s focus on REAL and IMPORTANT legislation instead of trying to keep some dyke talking about her wife in class.

So you guys would have been fine if GH Bush or any Reagan appointee would have primaried Reagan in 1984.

Voters don’t trust people that do such things. It divides the party. It’s different if an outsider runs habits you but
I don’t trust DeSanctimonius, Haley, or Pence. I view them as disloyal to their president and therefore not much can be expected of them from voters either.

Seeing the CNN and TIPP polls drop today. Talk about a divergence! Although the CNN poll seems to be based on more recent data (3/8-3/12) v. (3/1-3/3).
I would like to see another drop from QPac and Reuter, who seemed to sort of split the middle between these two divergences in the February drops and see if there is some type of trend towards DeSantis.
Until then, it seems like noise all around.
I am sure the hard working class loves DeSantis in Florida. I don’t see this being an issue to a national campaign at all.
Also seeing the TDS absolutist grifter fraud types like Bill Kristol mad at DeSantis Ukraine statement released to Tucker yesterday.
This tells me DeSantis knows exactly what he is doing.
933
…and that can work against DeSanctimonius too as people start to see he has no charisma, is thin-skinned, argumentative, and has right winged views on many issues that won’t sit well with moderates and many women.
Bashing wokeism and minorities will not get you into the WH.
It’s only anecdotal but two of my friends in Floreedah have recently switched back to Trump over DeSanctimonius because they think he’s getting too extreme with trying to weaponizing gubbermint and being tied to right-wingers. He is obsessed with trying to be the anti-woke warrior and they feel there’s more important issues to worry about.
Don’t say I didn’t tell you so as more turn away from him as well.
937
Good! Then you won’t mind all these GOPers now dumping on DeSanctimonius, calling him extreme and hurting his candidacy.
Seems like you’re getting worried because in poll after poll he loses to Trump and others are calling him out in his obsessions with gays and minorities which is pretty much all he talks about.

More proof that woke went broke. But we will bail it out.
“As it turns out, SVB was a massive donor to Black Lives Matter and other social justice causes, to the tune of nearly $74 million dollars. $73,450,000 to be more exact.
SVB executives explained on their website the turbulent racial atmosphere following the George Floyd killing and protests prompted them to expand “opportunities for dialogue,” a calling that doesn’t seem too have much concrete investment return, but ended up taking $74 million dollars out of bank coffers anyway.
Will Hild, the executive director of Consumers’ Research, told The Federalist that SVB’s failure on the heels of its left-wing activism “is yet another indication that SVB was focused on woke virtue signaling instead of protecting their customers’ deposits.”
Time after time we see the same pattern: companies that are the most concerned with ESG scores and woke politics do the worst jobs serving their customers,” Hild explained. “The rest of corporate America should learn from SVB’s failure now, before they are the next company to make headlines for comically poor management.”
The company’s Corporate Responsibility report leaned heavily on their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) actions. Some of the report’s major concerns included:
Climate and environmental finance and investment
Climate and environmental risk management
Climate and environmental impacts from operations
Diversity, equity and inclusion across our leadership, workforce, supply chain and communities
Community Development, financial inclusion and economic equality

“@DefenceHQ
United Kingdom government organization
(1/5) In recent weeks, Russian artillery ammunition shortages have likely worsened to the extent that extremely punitive shell-rationing is in force on many parts of the front.
(2/5) This has almost certainly been a key reason why no Russian formation has recently been able to generate operationally significant offensive action.
(3/5) Russia has almost certainly already resorted to issuing old munitions stock which were previously categorised as unfit for use.”
The recent Russian offensive has been ineffective. Meanwhile, the Ukraine has held back some of it’s best troops, until they are trained on new NATO weaponry. If, like last year, Ukraine can take a significant amount of territory back, including coastal areas north of the Crimea, then there might be moment towards a ceasefire.
China would like to take Russia place as the dominate foreign power in resource rich countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Despite the talk, China is not going to provide much military aid to Russia, especially since is focused on Taiwan and the Pacific.
Newsom once again after in the middle of a mucky situation:
“The news that Newsom has had personal accounts at the bank was revealed by a former staffer who spoke to The Intercept on the condition of anonymity. The three Newsom-owned wineries, CADE, Odette and Plumpjack, are listed as clients on the bank’s website.
The report also said that a Silicon Valley Bank executive made a $100,000 donation to the California Partners Project — a charity founded by Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom — at the behest of the governor and that a bank executive sits on the charity’s board of directors.”
At least he didn’t fall out of a window:
“Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei, whose death from an apparent heart attack was reported on the weekend, was the country’s most prominent official after dictator Alexander Lukashenko. One of few figures with staying power at the top of the Belarusian regime, Makei had worked as a presidential aide from 2000 before becoming head of the presidential administration in 2008 and going on to head up the Foreign Ministry in 2012.
In his ten years in office, he had gained a reputation as the main pro-Western voice in the Belarusian regime. It is hardly surprising, then, that his sudden death at sixty-four has given rise to a multitude of conspiracy theories: especially since he was working right up until his death, and appeared to be perfectly healthy.”
Must have lived in a one story building thus the “bad heart”.

Ukrainian tank crews have almost finished training to operate and maintain Leopard-2 main battle tanks, meaning that soon Germany will be able to send them to Ukraine, CNN reported on March 14, citing a Bundeswehr official.
A spokesman for the German army said the Ukrainian soldiers were “highly motivated” and utilized their five week of training “more than effectively.”
According to him, the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been training between 12 and 14 hours a day, six days a week, for the past five weeks. The German military official specified that the Ukrainians were trained as tank drivers, gunners, technicians, commanders, and maintenance personnel.
By March 13, the soldiers completed their final shooting drills, achieving a 82-85% accuracy rate.
“This is a super result,” he said, adding that training in gunnery on a simulator significantly speed up the training process.”
Well, I see California is moving toward reparations of $360,000 per black person who claim to have at least one slave relative in their family tree. California currently has a 22 billion deficit for this fiscal year. The reparations will cost California…wait for it….640 billion. They are proposing a new state agency to oversee dispensing the goodies….so a new state bureaucracy to go along with the cash.
Get out of California while you can anyway you can. That state government is insane. No sympathy from me, however. The California electorate continues to vote for those idiots and shows no interest in changing their voting patterns.

What about the Incas, they were decimated by white men, and it would be racist and discriminatory to only offer reparations to blacks in California.
California needs to offer reparations anywhere in the world where there were victims of white supremacy and colonialism.
However, I will not accept any checks drawn on CA banks, but will accept gold coins.
I’m sure the Incas in Chile are some place on California’s “victims list”

Biden’s achievements:
1) Destroyed the economy.
2) Wiped out your retirement savings.
3) Doubled the cost of everything.
4) Raised your tax burden.
5) Put incompetent people in charge of all aspects of government.
6) Badly failed in the Afghanistan pullout.
7) Encouraged Putin to invade Ukraine.
8) Decimated our military.
9) Welcomes illegals regardless the crimes they commit and the burden they are on us.
10) Promotes the evil surgical mutilation of impressionable children so they will never experience being a biological parent.
11) Promotes the sexualization of children, exposing them to sexual abuse.
12) Converted the FBI into the enforcement arm of the new police state.
13) Ended freedom of speech.
14) Rammed through CRT so whites will be hated.
15) Attempting to force taxpayers to pay loans taken about by other people who are unwilling to repay them.

A recently released Gallup poll finds that voters do not agree with DeSantis recent comments on the Ukraine war. I once supported DeSantis, but I believe his candidacy will begin to fade into oblivion.
“Sixty-two percent of registered Republicans say that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war represents a critical threat to vital U.S. interests, according to a Gallup survey conducted before Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) made headlines earlier this week by asserting the opposite.
Another 29 percent of GOP respondents surveyed in the Gallup poll released Monday said the war is important but not a vital threat, and 9 percent said the conflict isn’t important to U.S. interests.
Fifty-eight percent of registered Democratic respondents and 51 percent of independents said that the ongoing war between the two countries is a critical threat to the U.S.’s interests, while 42 percent of Democrats and 48 percent of independents disagree. “
1005. The San Francisco board of supervisors voted to accept the report, but do not believe they have approved any payment amount. The city has something like a $278 million dollar budget deficit. My hunch is San Francisco will demand that the federal government provide the money for reparations. I think a major tax on tech would be more appropriate, since tech has been pushing this politically correct nonsense.

I agree with suspending licenses of establishments that willfully violate the law in an egregious manner. I called for this months ago when I saw videos of toddlers rubbing crotches of Drag Queens in clubs and children present in establishments with signage advocating BJs. I also think parents who bring their kids to these explicit adult themed shows should be investigated by Child Protective Services.
So will Jadon now call for suspending business licenses of ALL businesses that violate the law by hiring ILLEGAL aliens? Not just warnings or small administrative fines but forcing them to close their doors.
Fair is fair! Break the law, pay the consequences.
This will have all kinds of impacts, drive up prices, reduce supply chain but like protecting children from inappropriate drag shows, closing these businesses would protect Americans from invasions at the southern border.
I think the concern over trannies and drag queens is well-deserved but I also think it’s being greatly exaggerated and blown out of proportion for political purposes to cater to and instill fear.
Most progressives I know do not support surgery for children or related medical care (puberty blockers) without a parent’s permission or hiding things from parents.
These are usually supported by the most radical leftists and gays.
DeSanctimonius has been arguing like these are everyday occurrences on a mass scale when they’re not. He knows this but he uses it purposely for political gain.
Just like years ago when lib politicians exaggerated hate crimes against minorities being beaten or dragged by trucks as if it was widespread when it was isolated.
No tax on anything would be appropriate, San Diego…tax on tech or anyone or anything else for that matter. As far as SF demanding the federal government providing the $$ I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Democrats ought to run on that. Good luck.
I imagine this is the boys’ in the hoods ultimate wet dream. Think of all the wine and drugs that could be purchased with this kind of windfall…an absolute unlimited lifetime supply.
Black Power, Baby!
I am not a fan of trannies due to experiences where I came across quite a few of them but not all trannies are alike and should not be lumped together with drag queens behavior either.
I think most trannies fall into one of 3 major categories.
1. Those that are seriously distressed by their situation and struggle daily with acceptance, doubt, depression and mental health but otherwise try and cope in life. Many keep it to themselves or live quietly.
2. The “angry in your face I’m gonna force you to accept me and if you don’t, I’ll make your life Hell” types. These are the ones you see all over social media getting attention. They seek attention toon and purpose by causing trouble and pushing unrealistic requests on society.
3. Those that have fallen down and are into drugs, crime, prostitution to survive on the streets because they have nowhere else to go or anyone who really cares for them. These are generally too far gone to help after years of self-abuse as well as abuse by others on the streets.
I think DeSanctimonius and friends are targeting them all as if they were one and the same, and I think that is wrong and where his laws could cause harm by unfairly labeling all trannies as disgusting, vile people.
I believe there are standards you can set in society without targeting people unfairly. This used to be the way society treated AA. They were cast in one unfortunate way that required a harsh way to deal with them. We learned from history that only exacerbated the issues more present in the AA with crime and poverty.

Wow!
Phil’s inner racist towards AA creeps out. …and people wonder why TX still gets a bad wrap for bigotry.
You assume most AA would waste this money. Why?
Would you assume that of whites struggling with poverty giving an equal windfall?
There may be some truth to what you say but you also give rise to why the equity argument is needed in the 1st place by your beliefs of AA as being incapable of progressing and making intelligent decisions.
Just saying…as someone who is a Caucasian African American with 13% dark blood, I too deserve reparations…and the 1st thing I’ll do is buy 3 new expensive cars because I’m genetically incapable of being rationale because of my DNA make-up.
1006. Two other results from the new Gallup poll in U.S.:
Favorability of Russia is 9%. Down from 15% in 2022.
Favorability of Ukraine is 68%. Highest by one point.
My experiences has been mostly with trans-men (born biologically female but consider themselves male). These are mostly girls that were my daughter’s friends or ones that grew up in the church I attended. The trans-men are usually pretty quiet and just trying to cope with their lives.

Yes. Goober is insane.
He never met a war he didn’t like or want to participate in.
…..and he’s full of sh*t about Reagan. The man believed in a strong American military as a deterrent but never was looking to escalate anything.
Yup Phil, peace through strength.
He led during the worst of the Cold War (early 1980s). It switched by 1986.

“This article is the third in a series based on Gallup’s surveys in Ukraine in early September.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — More than six months into the war with Russia, Ukrainians are rallying around their nation’s leaders and their institutions like never before.
Over eight in 10 Ukrainians (84%) surveyed in early September approved of the job that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is doing, the highest on record for him — or any leader in Ukraine in the past decade.
Only the country’s military elicits more support than the president. A nearly universal 94% of Ukrainians are confident in their armed forces.
Just a year ago, under very different circumstances, Ukrainians did not see their leaders and institutions in the same positive light. As the COVID-19 pandemic showed few signs of easing and ongoing accusations of systemic corruption continued to eat away at people’s confidence, less than half as many Ukrainians expressed confidence in their national government (21%) or approved of Zelenskyy’s job performance (41%) as they do now.”
Reagan did order air strikes against Libya. Completely justifiable.
If Christie supports military aid to Ukraine, then he would get my primary vote over Trump and DeSantis.

“Greta Thunberg, an activist for the environment, has reportedly now deleted a tweet that she posted in 2018 predicting that climate change would wipe out civilization if the world did not stop using fossil fuels by the year 2023.
A Swedish activist had tweeted a link to an article on gritpost.com that described a warning given by a professor at Harvard University named James Anderson.
Anderson had stated that if the burning of fossil fuels was not stopped within the next five years, mankind will cease to exist.
An expert in atmospheric chemistry named Anderson was cited in an essay that was published on gritpost.com, a website that no longer exists. In the article, Anderson predicted that there would be “basically zero” ice left in the Arctic by the year 2022.”
I support military aid to ukraine.
I support a robust accounting of that aid, in both the receipt of it, as well as when it is used and, most importantly, its effectiveness on the battle field.
For some odd reason, that makes me a “Putin toady”.
Methinks that the “war hawks” reasoning isn’t well thought out, and there is a segment of our “leadership” in the present government who are enriching themselves through this aid.
1025. I am totally supportive of accountability as to use of weaponry and aid that is sent to Ukraine. As long as it does not hamper the quick movement and use of the military equipment. The fact is, the proof is in the pudding — and we have seen weaponry sent to the Ukraine used effectively. I am actually more concerned about aid designated for Ukraine being used for other purposes and never getting to Ukraine. I don’t trust Biden or his cohorts, or his family, one bit.
” I don’t trust Biden or his cohorts, or his family, one bit.”

1027. Agree.
NATO is not backing down.
“At the Ramstein meeting, the U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that nine countries pledged to transfer more than 150 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. The tank coalition “continues to grow,” said the U.S. defense secretary without naming any specific countries.
Furthermore, the Polish government’s spokesman Piotr Muller said on March 15, as cited by Bloomberg, that Warsaw has received “clear declarations” from several countries willing to supply Ukraine with MiG-29 fighter jets.
Both Slovakia and Poland previously expressed their readiness to jointly deliver MIG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine.
NATO member states Bulgaria, Croatia, and Romania also have MiG-29 fighters in their stockpiles.”
Russia is talking about another call-up of 500,000. Putin is decimating a whole generation of Russian youth

For some odd reason, that makes me a “Putin toady”.’
Nothing odd about it.
Senator Lindsey Graham Calls for US Military to Open Fire on Russian Jets”
I think Graham is right.
What he said is we should warn the Russians that next time their planes shoot down a US drone over international waters we reserve the right to shoot the perpetrators down too.
What is wrong with that?
I think that is exactly what Reagan would say.
I thought the Putin toadies all said the Russians are incapable of harming a fly.
So why should we be afraid of shooting their planes down if they attack us? Shooting down a drone over international waters is an attack.
“Well, we should hold them accountable and say that, ‘If you ever get near another U.S. asset flying in international waters, your airplane will be shot down,’” said Graham. “What would Ronald Reagan do right now? He would start shooting Russian planes down if they were threatening our assets. American foreign policy is in freefall.”
Fine with me.

Trump won’t denounce this of course.
So DeSantis wants surrender by Ukraine. No need to consider voting for him unless he gets the nomination.
JeffP as usual is looking for “allies” for Putin but he didn’t really read what the Golden Calf said.
What the Golden Calf said was “FURTHER entangled”, he did not call for stopping aid to Ukraine.
“The U.S. should not provide assistance that could require the deployment of American troops or enable Ukraine to engage in offensive operations beyond its borders.”
I agree that we should not deploy US troops and Ukraine should not invade Russia proper. But not ‘beyond ITS borders’, everyone knows what Ukraine’s borders are.
He is trying to peel off some hard core isolationists from Trump, which is not a bad strategy, while staying the course.
The only part I strongly disagree with him is that Ukraine “is not in our vital interest”. It IS, because Ukraine is a stepping stone for Russia’s territorial, economic and political expansion, and it is our vital interest to oppose it.
1034 Jason I just saw the video. It was an accident.”

Is that what the official Russian media told you?
You really are a moronic brainwashed stooge.
I was wrong..what I thought in the drone video was a Russian planes exhaust was really fuel being dumped on the drone. It’s like a dog peeing.on fire hydrant. Definitely purposeful.”
Ok, I take it back.
At HHR, admitting you are wrong is rare, so I give credit.
1043. “Don’t believe the propaganda…Ukraine is getting its @ss kicked right now against bottom feeder Russian troops. There is a reason the western media doesn’t have access in the war zone.”
I see JeffP is back in his Putin troll mode. The mighty Russian military has spent 10 months attacking the Donbass town of Bakhmut, and failed to take it. The Russian casualties have been so high that now Putin plans to call up another 500,000 young Russians for military service.
Meanwhile the disputes between factions in the Russian forces has become macabre:
“Russian mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin has posted an image of his dead troops in Ukraine, blaming army chiefs for their deaths and urging ordinary Russians to help his group.
Prigozhin had already launched into a tirade on Tuesday, accusing the defence minister and chief of staff of trying to destroy his Wagner mercenaries by depriving them of ammunition.”
By the way, JeffP, is there still outrage throughout the world over someone blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline?
By the way, JeffP, is there still outrage throughout the world over someone blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline?”
Hilarious how JeffP thought this was going to “change the course of the war” and how this joke of a conspiracy theory advocated by a far leftist disgraced octogenarian hack was supposed to somehow keep the US and Europe from supporting Ukraine.
The collective “zzzzzzzzzzzzz” was overwhelming.
JeffP is right that the Russians are not losing the war.
The war is being fought on Ukrainian territory. The destruction of cities and infrastructure is in the Ukraine. The civilians being raped, tortured, displaced and exiled are Ukrainians. The territory taken is Ukrainian.
The fact the Russians have not been able to meet their main objective of installing a puppet state and that what they have achieved so far has cost them hugely in lives and equipment and economic hardship does not change the fact the Russians are winning by any classic definition of war.
The only way Russia would “lose’ the war was if Ukrainian regained ALL of its territory including Crimea. Even if Russia was pushed back to the pre-invasion borders they still would not have “lost”.
Not meeting expectations and suffering terrible losses is not losing. Its not meeting expectations and suffering terrible losses.
Militarily the Russians are winning the war. They may, as the US did in Vietnam and Afghanistan, suffer a political defeat eventually.
More reasons to support Putin!
Zelensky banning the following churches according to the Babylon Bee.
The Babylon Bee has obtained the following list of other churches Zelensky is rumored to be considering banning:
The Sri Lankan Orthodox Church: No one knows if this actually exists, but Zelensky is apparently doing his best to cover all the bases.
Compelled Vertical Elevation Revive Community City Church: Or any church where the pastor wears skinny jeans.
Any church that refuses to hang up a pride flag: LGBTQIA+ Pride is the only officially sanctioned religion of NATO.
Country singer Eric Church: Not because of any religious threat, but strictly based on his music.
The church kids make with their hands when they do “here’s the church, here’s the steeple, open the doors, see all the people”: The state strongly opposes teaching children any religious imagery. Any church behind on their payments to him: You want to preach? You need to pay up!
The Church Lady from SNL: Reports indicate all other Dana Carvey characters are also prohibited.
Chick-Fil-A: Everyone knows it’s a church masquerading as a fried chicken restaurant!”
More “escalation”
“Denmark will provide Ukraine with a $142 million military aid package, which will include small arms ammunition, heavy machine guns, anti-tank mines, and air defense missiles, Danish Defense Ministry said in a message on its website on March 15.”
Considering Denmark has a population of 5.8 million, this contribution would be like an 8 billion dollar contribution from the US.
An organized pantry is racist, according to a “professor”.
“Storing spices in coordinated glass jars and color coordinating dozens of sprinkles containers may seem trivial. But tidiness is tangled up with status, and messiness is loaded with assumptions about personal responsibility and respectability.
Cleanliness has historically been used as a cultural gatekeeping mechanism to reinforce status distinctions based on a vague understanding of “niceness”: Nice people, with nice yards, in nice houses, make for nice neighborhoods.
What lies beneath the surface of this anti-messiness, pro-niceness stance is a history of classist, racist and sexist social structures.
In my research, influencers who produce pantry porn are predominantly white women who demonstrate what it looks like to maintain a “nice” home by creating a new status symbol: the perfectly organized, fully-stocked pantry.”
Thank God our pantry is a mess. You have to get through the cans of soup and sardines to get to the pasta sauce. Or maybe you have to get through the pasta sauce to get to the sardines, depending on what end of the pantry you are.
If Biden did it, it would show Biden had more balls than I think he has. So the conspiracy is not really a negative. But I don’t think Biden did it.
1059
OH NO! As a Caucasian AA, I just might be a RACIST!
My pantry is organized quite well, and I label all spices with expirations dates using my trusted thin point Sharpie, and all like products are grouped together by size.
Dishes, glassware, and utensils must be rotated. You can’t eat off the same plate over and over. That’s crazy! Cleaned items are rotated to the bottom with top items used 1st prospectively.
Plants, recliners, chairs, etc must also be rotated. I rotate recliners every 2 months per a reminder on my phone. You can’t sit in the same chair over and over. That’s not right! It’s neglectful of the other chairs and causes undo wear and tear.
Further evidence of my bigotry may be my closets. All clothes are in specific order by category 1st (casual, professional, sporting, etc), then by type ( short sleeve, long sleeve, pull over, etc), then by season (heavy, light, etc) then by color with white ALWAYS being 1st followed by gray, black, blue…
All underwear, socks, shoes, sweaters, coats, scarves, gloves, etc are similarly categorized and folded in a specific way facing the same way…folded socks must all face the same way and Good God NEVER thrown into a draw.
My 600+ DVD and Blue-ray collection is sorted by category (sci-fi, thriller, drama, etc) and then alphabetized. Of course, Biue-rays are kept separated from DVD and box sets always go on the bottom shelves.
Similarly for my 1,000+ books. I have my own Dewey Decimal System and all books are categorized in a sensible manner.
Here I thought I was being organized with possibly just a tad bit speck of OCD. I had no idea this instead is evidence of me being a RACIST!
I’m so ashamed. *hangs head low*
Damm, Tgca is a UBER racist.
I wish I was. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes to find the spice I need in the cupboard, finally having success after (as Murphy’s Law stipulates) the bigger ones either fall on my head or into whatever I am cooking.
Laundry? I take the hamper with the clean socks and underwear and dump it into the drawer.
Books? I could probably find the book I want to read, all it takes is a comprehensive search of every room in the house and the basement and the attic.
Damm it, I think this is fatal. They finally have the goods on the Golden Calf.
Too bad too, such a promising candidate.
“Enshrined in DeSantis lore is an episode from four years ago: During a private plane trip from Tallahassee to Washington, D.C., in March of 2019, DeSantis enjoyed a chocolate pudding dessert—by eating it with three of his fingers”
I had no idea this instead is evidence of me being a RACIST!”
Don’t flatter yourself.
It is worse than that.
“What lies beneath the surface of this anti-messiness, pro-niceness stance is a history of classist, racist and sexist social structures”
Don’t try to cover up the “classist” and “sexist” parts.
I am kind of worried myself.
Not the anti-messiness part. I am pro-mess, believe me.
But the pro-niceness part worries me.
Do you guys think I am too nice?
I might forgive the Golden Calf for trying to straddle the Ukraine issue.
But pudding with 3 fingers.
Deal killer.
Plus, real men don’t eat chocolate pudding.
Another reason woke went broke.
“Just one member of Silicon Valley Bank’s board of directors had an investment banking career, according to the Daily Mail, while the others were major donors to the Democratic Party.
Tom King, previously the CEO of investment banking at Barclay’s, was appointed to the SVB board in September.
However, King is the only one with a career in the financial industry. Others include a former employee in the Obama administration, a donor to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and a major donor to Hillary Clinton, who prayed at a Shinto shrine when Donald Trump defeated Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.”
1059: Most black people I know like everything orderly. And me and a lot of white folk are kind of messy. What does that mean?
Many of the white folk in my neighborhood are reducing lawns for a more casual native plant prairie. My wife and I have noticed that a tidy lawn appears to be important among our non-white friends who are a bit freaked out by the messy landscape trend.
1068
It means black folk are used to cleaning up and keeping things tidy and white folks do not do their own cleaning and tidying up.
Next question?
Paul knows racist black people?
Who knew?
In the past anyone weird enough to pray to a Shinto shrine because of an election wouldn’t get a job anywhere.
Now they are on boards of large banks.

Texas officials announced a state takeover of Houston Independent School District’s (HISD) schools on Wednesday. HISD has almost 200,000 students in public schools. It is the country’s eighth-largest school district.
“In a letter to the Houston Independent School District, Morath said the Texas Education Agency will replace Superintendent Millard House II and the district’s elected board of trustees with a new superintendent and an appointed board of managers made of residents from within the district’s boundaries.
Morath said the board has failed to improve student outcomes while conducting “chaotic board meetings marred by infighting” and violating open meetings act and procurement laws. He accused the district of failing to provide proper special education services and of violating state and federal laws with its approach to supporting students with disabilities.
He cited the seven-year record of poor academic performance at one of the district’s roughly 50 high schools, Wheatley High, as well as the poor performance of several other campuses.
“The governing body of a school system bears ultimate responsibility for the outcomes of all students. While the current Board of Trustees has made progress, systemic problems in Houston ISD continue to impact district students,” Morath wrote in his six-page letter.”

I prefer vanilla pudding, rice pudding preferably. Tapioca is fine too.

I don’t think so. Though it is possible since the roaches in our house were bigger and better fed than the roaches elsewhere so that could be somewhat classist I guess.
Binge on butterscotch.

Other than ABORTION, I can’t think of a more evil, heinous crime against humanity than to let a defenseless person die from abuse or to succumb to the elements, especially a newborn baby.

Didn’t Amoral Scumbag say “ignore the national polls, look at the state polls”?
A friend wants to know.
The TDS moron attacks on Trump and his supporters are really paying dividends to the Golden Calf, aren’t they?
To them, the working class “brutes” are:
– a savagely violent person or animal.
– an animal as opposed to a human being.
– characterized by an absence of reasoning or intelligence.
Somehow I don’t think the GOP civil war the TDS morons are so intent on promoting is working out for them.
1084
The TDS morons are losing! They’re turning people away from the Desanctimonius campaign by attacking them or trying to ridicule them. Doing the same as Dems did to them that pushed them to Trump in the 1st place.
All the while, Trump is going up in the polls, both national and state while DeSanctimonius has dropped some and now being challenged by multiple GOP leaders who don’t want to see him succeed.
I know of a few people in different states who really liked Desanctimonius at 1st but now pulling back to Trump. It may be anecdotal but it’s what I see.
I still have to think DeSanctimonius must know he can’t win an all out battle with Trump in the primaries and then go limping into the GE expecting to win. I’m wondering if this is all show for him to make some money and then wait until 2028. Then he’ll do a mea culpa with Trump who can be very forgiving if he thinks you’re back on his side.
If not, Trump will work against DeSanctimonius with working class voters in MI, PA, and WI and call him every name in the book and talk about how disloyal he is and that he’ll sell them out like Dems, Paul Ryan, etc did, and I believe it would be effective for a good portion of these Trump lovers. Without one or more of those states, DeSanctimonius or any GOPer is dead in the GE unless they pick up blue states like CO, especially since PA and MI have now moved further left in the midterms.
This is the pickle DeSanctimonius finds himself in. I myself will not vote for in the GE DeSanctimonius, Haley, Pence, or anyone else that worked for Trump in his admin and now runs against him, especially knowing he was denied a win in 2020 due to voter fraud, manipulation and corruption.

Biden family members received more than $1 million in payments over a three-month period after the Chinese wire transfer cleared, according to a memo detailing the payments issued by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.
Several payments were also sent to companies associated with Mr. Biden’s brother James Biden and son Hunter Biden in addition to Hallie Biden.

And Trump was right to go after NATO countries NOT SPENDING what they are supposed to spend!
From article: “*I love you, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and I know you’re all serious about national defense, too. But even combined, you guys are just too small to be considered major NATO powers. Still, keep up the great work. If postmodern Germany had half your moxie, NATO would have such a credible deterrence that there wouldn’t even be a war in Ukraine.”
“I myself will not vote for in the GE DeSanctimonius, Haley, Pence, or anyone else that worked for Trump in his admin and now runs against him, especially knowing he was denied a win in 2020 due to voter fraud, manipulation and corruption.”
DeSantis wasn’t ever part of Trump’s administration.
I don’t really get why Trump would have ‘first dibs’ on the nomination. But, I know the Dems will be pleased when Trump gets the nomination.

Funny! Coming from you…someone who is Schumer’s Bish and has helped elect more Dems to the Senate than anyone at HHR.

My bad. As I mentioned numerous times before, DeSanctimonius is only gubbernor because of Trump.
DeSanctimonius would have lost the Floreedah GOP primary if not for Trump. He was a relative unknown running against Adam Putnam, a well-known 5-term US CongressCritter and 2 time Agricultural Commissioner, a top powerful office in Floreedah, in which he won both state elections by 15 to 18 points including winning all 5 terms of CongressCritter by huge margins of 15+ points.
Putnam was expected to win the GOP primary hands down until Trump stepped in for relatively unknown DeSanctimonius. He would have most likely won the gubbernorship too by a healthy margin given his past statewide wins and name recognition.
DeSanctimonius ran as a Trump Republican and did commercials praising Trump so MAGA voters could see he was a Trump groupie and vote for him. He sucked up to Trump and MAGA to get elected.
To me he’s showing disloyalty by running against, essentially his benefactor and mentor.
Kamala is only VP because of Biden. Would you support her if she decided to run against Biden because she perceives she has a shot over him?
#1093 – L A M E ! !
What time you due back in boys town?

Trump should get 1st dibs because he was cheated of the last election. In essence, this is a do over election.
If Trump did not run in the immediate election after being cheated, I would agree it’s open to all. But he is purposely running to secure the 2nd term he deserved. I view this the same as running for re-election in a 2nd term.
If you can’t trust people who served for you and that you helped garner recognition nationally, then who can you trust?
Putnam was Robbie’s choice…….that’s when I knew RDS was the correct choice.

Why don’t we ask HHR to vote if they think you helped elect Dems to the Senate?

Doesn’t change the fact that Putnam was expected to win the Primary and had won every Congressional and State election by large margins. He would have most likely won gubbernor as well by a healthy margin.
OONOH! OONOH!! THEERWO! THEERWO!
Some like Pence would feel that Trump was the one who was disloyal.

1098 Zzzzzzzzzzz. Since NYC has been at HHR, he has only voted for Republicans in the NY Senate races. He has not voted in any other state. He has not sent donations to any Senate candidates in any other states. His posts about candidates in other states did not gain them votes or donations. He did not help any Democrats get elected to the Senate. NYC goes after me relentlessly but this stupid attack on him should have ended when Wes left.
1104
Ridiculously comparing me to Robbie deserves rebuttal in kind.
I have made clear why I will not support DeSanctimonius, Haley, and Pence and it is legit just like some claim they won’t support those that don’t whole-heartedly support Ukraine, which DeSanctimonius has now made his intentions clear.
Everything in Bitter’s post is absolute garbage.
He has invented a new standard. You can only support a politician if you vote for him or send him money.
Total BS.
NYC has been helping elect liberal Dem senators for years here, and his efforts to make Schumer majority leader are real and legendary.
His “send a message” strategy helps elect Dems. That is a fact.
Then Bitter makes a lot of assumptions that he cannot vouch for.
“He has not voted in any other state. He has not sent donations to any Senate candidates in any other states. His posts about candidates in other states did not gain them votes or donations. He did not help any Democrats get elected to the Senate.”
Bitter doesn’t actually know if any of this is true, and most of it is probably lies.
NYC is Schumer’s bitch. Fact.
“Why don’t we ask HHR to vote if they think you helped elect Dems to the Senate?””
Of course he has, and we have hundreds of posts to prove it.

He certainly has supported electing liberal Dems more than anyone at HHR, and he certainly has spent years trying to get Schumer as majority leader.

…and remember, it was NYC who acted like a FASCIST and claimed businesses should be allowed to discriminate against the COVID unvaccinated. Discriminating against the COVID unvaccinated is no different than discriminating against AA (historically the argument was AA were not clean people and transmitted diseases) or gays because they can transmit HIV or other related diseases that a compromised immune system makes them more susceptible to catch.
So when it comes to ludicrous views, NYC should be the last one comparing anyone to Robbie.
Just to refresh everyone’s memory, NYC felt you can discriminate against someone because you are concerned they MAY transmit a disease and that’s bad for business.
Well, if that’s the case then you can apply that logic to ANY transmittable disease or group of people you believe are MORE LIKELY to spread such disease. Hence, my 2 examples of groups thought to be more likely to transmit diseases to others.
Luckily, NYC has been proven to be an IDIOT, and he doesn’t make that case anymore after being proven wrong on this matter.
Apple Removes Donald Trump’s Song with J6 Prison Choir from iTunes
Why do these things keep happening against conservatives or Trump?
These companies expect us to believe it’s a miscommunication? It’s more likely some radical lefty made the decision based on their personal politics.
Why don’t these companies set examples by firing employees who do these things?
After what we saw at Twitter, we know beyond a doubt that these targeting of conservatives or Trump are not mistakes or miscommunications but specific choices made by people at these companies.

The Canadian Cancer Society is advising men it describes as “trans women” who have had “bottom surgery” to discuss cervical cancer screenings with their doctors while acknowledging that men do not have cervixes.
What’s next? Advising trans men (women identifying as men) to test for prostate and testicular cancers?

Taiwan supports Ukraine:
“Whether Ukraine and Taiwan get the support they need to remain sovereign is likely to be a defining geopolitical question of this generation, extending beyond regional political dynamics. Countries in both Europe and Asia appear to see this clearly now—note how quickly the Biden administration enlisted Asian allies such as South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and even Singapore to sanction Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. Their willingness to show concern about faraway Ukraine suggests that they think one day they could be looking for similar support from Europe, should China enter into a conflict with one of them.
The revanchist violence that Vladimir Putin has unleashed on Ukrainians has yet to come to Taiwan, but it has jarred the collective consciousness nevertheless. There have been multiple protests outside the de facto Russian embassy in Taipei, a solidarity march through the center of the capital, and a rush to send money and nonmilitary aid to Ukraine. Tsai’s move to sanction Russia and cut it off from crucial Taiwanese semiconductors is perhaps the most confrontational she’s been with any major power. (For his part, Putin declared in a joint statement with President Xi Jinping on February 4 that Russia considers Taiwan “an inalienable part” of China.)”
1109. Actually I believe you attacked me on that issue. I supported a restaurant owner’s request that people who were unvaccinated sit in the patio areas around his restaurant (where the vast majority of people sit anyways) rather than inside which is stuffy and has poor air circulation. Whether someone complied was on an honor system. Nobody I know had an issue with this.
1107. Why don’t we ask HHR to vote if they think you helped elect Dems to the Senate?
I have never helped elect Dems to the Senate. Of course I have helped elect them to the House, state senate, state legislature and city council. When you have nonpartisan elections in California, you pick the least dangerous Democrat.
1114
So I assume you’re OK with business owners asking people with HIV to also sit outside on the patio then because people with HIV are more likely to have compromised immune systems more likely subjecting them to illnesses they can more easily transmit to others.
In addition, I believe you’d be OK with asking gay men for proof they had Monkey Pox vaccination to enter the establishment because it’s a highly contagious disease that can be spread by close contact including sneezing and coughing within close proximity.
1112. “men it describes as “trans women”
I had coffee today with a friend who is an older gay man. When I mentioned that I opposed “trans women” playing in women’s sports, he went bonkers. I held my ground, so am sure we will never talk again. The whole concept strikes me as bizarre.
Many diseases can be passed through casual contact or air droplets in close proximity so if it’s fair to ask people about COVID status and vaccination, then it’s fair to ask people if they’re gay and whether they have HIV or Monkey Pox vax for the safety of the rest of the patrons.
Asking them for proof is also acceptable then too. Gay men should have to prove they have a recent undetectable viral load to eat in a crowded restaurant. If they refuse, they should be denied seating.
Same with Monkey Pox. Proof of vaccination to eat in a crowded restaurant. If they refuse, they should be denied seating.
Fair is fair…riiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
Ask these old gay folk if it’s ok for white people to identify as an AA because some better relate to that culture than their own even though their DNA states otherwise, and whether they should be eligible for AA scholarships.
Some people do identify as trans-racial so there’s no difference than identifying as a trannie.
1116. HIV is not an airborne disease. I never seen any studies showing people with HIV or any other chronic disease are more likely to contract COVID, or be more transmissible if they have it.
Likewise, the request of the restaurant owner is that all unvaccinated, not just any one demographic group, or individuals with certain medical conditions, use outside seating. It applies to all customers.
1120
Actually, people with HIV are more susceptible to transmittable diseases because of weakened immunity and can pass those diseases along more readily simply because statistically they have a higher risk of getting sick in the 1st place.
You can’t have it both ways. Gays argued for required vaxes of the general public because failure to do so put people with HIV at risk which means then they are more susceptible to getting COVID more frequently and passing it along to others so it is fair to inquire about their risk factors.
We know people with comorbidities like a compromised immune system are more likely to get sick from COVID, as well as potentially have a higher viral loads so they therefore are a higher risk to others as well.
1120
…and you were silent on Monkey Pox I noticed, a highly contagious disease by air as well as touch.
Do you agree if it’s ok to ask people about their COVID vax status to eat in a restaurant then it should be ok to ask gay men about their Monkey Pox vax status since 95% of Monkey Pox was isolated to gay men?
Would you want to sit in a crowded restaurant with gays around you knowing there is a risk of getting Monkey Pox if someone sneezing or coughing near you?
1120
What about meningitis too? Another contagious disease that we see at astronomically higher rates in the gay community compared to other groups, as a percent of the population.
It’s why gay men are encouraged to get vaxed for meningitis. Gay men with HIV have the highest rate of meningitis among gays too.
Meningitis can be spread through close contact through the air as well.
So again, is it fair to protect restaurant patrons to ask gay men if they’re vaxed for meningitis?
If not, then why is it ok to ask for COVID vax proof?
1106 and 1107. Jason makes a lot of assumptions while claiming I make assumptions. If there are hundreds of posts where NYC admitted to either voting for Democrats for Senator, donating money to any Senate candidate outside of NY, or proof that any voter outside of NY listened to him about donating or voting for Senate candidates, it should be easy for Jason to produce 1.

LOL
Attention HHR: this is Bitterlaw new standard for supporting any candidate.
You cannot claim that you support a candidate or a cause without actually proving your support has convinced anyone of your position/
Really?
I love it here.
NYC has endeavored here for years to elect liberal Dems and thus make Schumer majority leader. That is an undeniable fact.
If you want to claim he is an abject failure because you know of no one he actually convinced, fine with me.
But considering all the morons that post here at one time or another, I wouldn’t bet on it.
Likewise, the request of the restaurant owner is that all unvaccinated, not just any one demographic group, or individuals with certain medical conditions, use outside seating. It applies to all customers.”
Which IS fascist and discriminatory, and it IS against one demographic group, the unvaccinated.
It is absolutely proven and factual that vaccinated people spread COVID. So discriminating against the unvaccinated doesn’t even have a medical justification, let alone a moral one.
“Show me your papers to eat here” is exactly what the Nazis did, and there is no difference when it is applied anywhere else. Disgusting and despicable.
I am sorry, Golden Calf, but I have to revoke my support for you to win re-election in Florida.
I didn’t send you money or vote for you, and I can’t prove my support swung any votes for you, so according to the new Bitterlaw HHR definition of “support”, you are sh-t out of luck.
My bracket is already busted.
GFYs.
Bitter, if you are in contact with wes, tell him that I have continued to reject any “revisionism” regarding NYC’s steadfast efforts to make Schumer majority leader and keep him there.
NYC’s status here as Schumer’s bitch will not be changed by any attempt to redefine what support means.
I don’t fully understand the following:
1. Why is China considered so much bigger of a threat to China? China is exerting power but China hasn’t invaded any countries.
2. How does our support of Ukraine weaken our position with China? I would think if we did nothing to help Ukraine, that would give China a green light to try to annex Taiwan.
Why the Golden Calf is right about waging the culture war in our educational system and woke corporations that result from it.
“The Michigan-based cereal giant Kellogg’s donated a whopping $91 million to the far-left Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement after slashing employee benefits, according to a report from The Federalist.
In June 2020, the company also affirmed its commitment to “combatting racism” with a $1 million donation to the left-wing activist group NAACP.
“Kellogg Company’s $1 million grant complements the funding that the W.K. Kellogg Foundation provides to NAACP, including $1.15 million in 2020,” wrote Kellogg Company Chairman and CEO Steve Cahillane at the time. “NAACP is one of the many racial equity anchor organizations that WKKF supports.”
The large donations came less than a year after employees went on strike over reports that the company had introduced a two-tiered benefits system, limited vacation days and enforced work weeks as long as 84 hours.
Around 1,400 workers across four states – Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee – picketed for nearly three months. In response, company officials axed health benefits, leaving employees to pick up the exorbitant premiums to maintain their coverage for pre-existing conditions. The two sides eventually reached an agreement to end industrial action in December 2021.
In 2022, Kellogg’s also bankrolled a pilot program aimed at providing hundreds of illegal aliens living in the U.S. with a guaranteed basic income of $500 per month.”
I don’t fully understand the following:
1. Why is China considered so much bigger of a threat to China?”
Paul got me there.
I don’t understand it either.
2. How does our support of Ukraine weaken our position with China? I would think if we did nothing to help Ukraine, that would give China a green light to try to annex Taiwan.”
This is standard fare from the Putin stooges and lapdogs.
The theory that we cannot possible engage in more than one issue at a time.
You know the BS. We cannot counter the threat from Russia because of China. We cannot help Ukraine defend its borders because we don’t defend our own borders.
Ignore the noise and the Russian state media/Tucker Carlson talking points.

In any case, NYC supported Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer became Majority Leader.
So even in this case Bitter is wrong.

Huh….
Look who just made up and invented new definitions…
“Jason thinks posts at HHR in support of anything actually achieve outcomes.”
I support Ukraine. The Russian troops are still there. What did my support achieve?
1. Why is China considered so much bigger of a threat to China?”
Oops. Meant “why is China considered a much bigger threat than Russia?”
Zelensky would have my support in the form of weapons.
Should be “would rather have my support in the form of weapons.”
Why is China considered so much bigger threat than Russia?
I don’t know. Maybe because they are – both economically and militarily. Twelve times the GNP of Russia. Better military and expanding. Determination to replace US as #1 superpower. CCP tenacles that reach into our own US institutions government, corporate, educational…
I say that as in no way to minimize Russia as a hostile opponent. They are and they are a threat – just that if you strictly compare China’s power and potential to grow more powerful…they are far superior to Russia in present and future potential…military, economic or whatever measuring stick you want to use. Frankly, just the inroads the Chinese Communist Party has made into our business, education, and government scare the hell out of me.

So Jason’s dodge admits there is no proof that NYC did anything to elect Schumer or any Democrat Senator.
So if support for or against the war in Ukraine really doesn’t matter because your support or lack thereof has no impact on what actually happens there, then why does Bitter spend so much time posting on Ukraine and condemning people for minimal support of Ukraine.
Posts on Ukraine are therefore only meaningless words that won’t change anything so it should not matter, and why post about it at all then?
Russia and China are both threats.
Russia threatens the stability of Europe and its efforts to recreate a Greater Russia/Soviet Union cannot be allowed to succeed. They are interested in owning the resources of countries like Ukraine and the Stans” to expand their economic power and in creating a sphere of influence and that will eventually threaten all of Europe. This is a classic pay now or pay later. Keeping the Russians contained for a few hundred billion dollars is cheap compared to what a new cold war would cost, which would be in the trillions.
Phil correctly points out that the China threat is not only military and is not only Taiwan, but he is disingenuous in thinking the Russians are not trying to establish the same hegemony the Chinese want to establish in the Far East/south Pacific.
The argument on “which is the biggest threat” is foolish. Both threats have to be confronted, you cannot choose the timing and you cannot choose your adversaries. Right now the Russian threat to Ukraine and beyond has to be dealt with. Just like you cannot choose which President will be in office, that is why NYC’s argument that nothing can be done because Biden is incompetent is so asinine.
So Jason’s dodge admits there is no proof that NYC did anything to elect Schumer or any Democrat Senator.”
What dodge?
NYC has for year here done everything he could to elect liberal Dems and to make Schumer majority leader.
The argument that we cannot prove that he actually achieved that goal with his support is stupid and completely devoid of any logic.
That is an indisputable fact and no “revisionism of definitions” that Bitter has come up with changes that.
Oh no! Pootin with his stockpile of NOOKYOOLER weapons must be shaking in his boots now.

Fixed it.
The arrest warrant means Putin will probably not be able to travel to summits and he will have to be careful where his plane does layovers if he does. I imagine diplomatic immunity protects him somewhat but you never know what some local judge might do.
Even if symbolic, it cements Putin’s image as an international pariah.

Zzzzzz….
He has explicitly supported deadender candidates he absolutely knew would lose to liberal Dems who would vote for Schumer as majority leader.
He viewed this outcome as more desirable than electing the Republican he felt was not conservative enough because it “sent a message”.
He preferred liberal Dems to what he called Republican traitors and RINOS because that sent a message.
As such he actively supported Chuck Schumer as Majority leader.
The statement that NYC endeavored for years here to elect liberal Democrats and to make Chuck Schumer Majority Leader is an indisputable fact and not amount of revisionist BS and double speak changes that.
Yep, and all those ineligible voters receive ballots in CA, NY, PA, etc. Nobody knows who fills them in.

Hey NYC, has Bitter sent you his bill for defending the indefensible yet?
Just because he did some pro-bono work for fellow A-hole Scooter doesn’t mean you won’t get billed.
NYC – Despite our differences, I have rebutted the accusation that you are Schumer’s source of funding and votes across the US. If you actually have been sending money and voting in other states, you suck.
I heard the person who bought my Dad’s house tore it down to build something new. Unfortunately, they offered a lot more than the ones who wanted to keep it. That money is funding my sister’s care so it was the right choice. I will see the empty lot tomorrow.
All so Zelensky can return to the status quo of 2013 not 2021-22,as some here claim.”
I will accept 2021-2022.
Will you?
have rebutted the accusation that you are Schumer’s source of funding and votes across the US”
Zzzz..
Nobody said he was the “source of Schumer’s funding and votes across the US”.
Not to mention Schumer is elected in NY.
Here is what I said, the absolute truth.
“The statement that NYC endeavored for years here to elect liberal Democrats and to make Chuck Schumer Majority Leader is an indisputable fact and not amount of revisionist BS and double speak changes that.”
Gordon will accept the Soviet/Russian borders of 1980.
President Biden is a hero to at least 3 posters here.’
Hero, no. He is an incompetent old fool.
But is supporting Ukraine and opposing Russia the right thing to do?
Absolutely.
“Endeavored” still has no proof of actual actions.
Trump indictment from Manhattan DA coming down next week. Followed closely by indictment from Fulton County soon after. Both cases extremely weak……but trials take place in Manhattan and Atlanta.
Good luck, Donald with those jury pools.
Toast
25 to 50 years from now it will be accepted that the dumbest,most lunatic strategic move of the last century was literally throwing Russia into China’s lap.”
Hilarious.
I think it was Russia that invaded Ukraine and started this war, if your magazines say differently they are wrong.
Nobody “drove” Russia to anything.
But maybe you can explain how helping Ukraine defend its own territory is “throwing Russia into China’s lap”.
This should be good.
Oh, and btw, Neville Allen, could you pls tell us what constitutes the dumbest, most lunatic strategic move that threw Russia into China’s lap?
This should be even better.

“Endeavored” still has no proof of actual actions.”
Nor should it.
Endeavor
“To try hard to do or achieve something”
“to attempt by exertion of effort”
“Try” and “exertion of effort” require action. Still not proven.
Let’s cut to the chase. Is your argument that if NYC posts, “I support Deadender x” on a blog read by people who don’t vote in that state is helping to elect a Democrat in another state? Absurd.
My Cinderella team 29 VCU 28 at half.
GfYs.
“I support Deadender x” on a blog read by people who don’t vote in that state is helping to elect a Democrat in another state? Absurd.”
In the first place, you don’t know who reads the blog.
The statement below is absolutely true. You are trying to distort it by bringing in a lot of BS definitions and claims that are not in the statement.
“The statement that NYC endeavored for years here to elect liberal Democrats and to make Chuck Schumer Majority Leader is an indisputable fact and not amount of revisionist BS and double speak changes that.”
NYC knowingly and willingly supports deadenders that will lose to liberal Dem senators over what he calls traitors in order to send a message. These Dems elect Chuck Schumer.
“Actions”…”source of funding”…are all extraneous and irrelevant words that I never wrote.
Support means support. NYC supports Schumer.
It is not rocket science.
Try” and “exertion of effort” require action.
Writing on blogs is an action.
But I will be happy to state “NYC certainly supports Chuck Schumer on a blog, whether he does more than than only he knows”.
Happy?
So no proof to back up any real actions of “support.” Got it.
Your honor, I was as high as a kite.

Right, beyond his posts here I don’t have proof he engaged in other “actions”.
Of course, I didn’t claim I did, but thanks for sharing the silly straw argument.
By the same token, I can play the same game. Do you have any proof he didn’t engage in other “actions”.

Rep. @ericswalwell: “Violent Republican rhetoric put a target on the backs of all law enforcement … If you’re hearing ‘Defund the FBI’ … you don’t distinguish between an FBI special agent & a police officer, you consider it as law enforcement & the Deep State”
Will be interesting to see what that same polling looks like once Trump is indicted.
CNN has gone from Bidens never got payments to “payments are OK”.
You got to love the MSM.
“CNN on the Biden family receiving $3 million from the CCP: “Republicans are digging into this issue, they are trying to make this a political liability for President Joe Biden, but so far they have not provided any evidence of wrongdoing”
My guess is that Trump’s primary polling numbers will go up as a reaction to any indictment.
“NYC goes after me relentlessly but this stupid attack on him should have ended when Wes left.”
-Bitterlaw,
I have also defended you multiple times when people (most often Tgca and jason…..starting to see a pattern here……) have said demonstrably false things about you.
Appreciate your candor.
And there is NO WAY I have ever supported, endorsed, voted for, sent $$ to or helped Democrats get elected across this great country! The way I see it, and it is very unfortunate, but they are, quite possibly, this country’s most dangerous foe, unless they stop supporting Big Tech, Big Media, the university system in their quest to censure, demonize and demonetize conservative thought.
Happy St Patricks Day to all!
First Republic gets 30 Billion from other banks,and promptly drops 30 % in value.
Hmm
Zzzz…. Schumer’s bitch thinks the Dems are a dangerous foe while he supports electing more of them to “send a message”.
Pardon me if I LMAO.
should have ended when Wes left.”
Wes was certainly right about NYC, so we can’t end right.
St Mary’s team is all white.
Is it racist to have picked them as a Cinderella team?
In my defense, I didn’t know that.
GFYs.
The reason I picked them is that these catholic college teams seem to do well in the NCAA tournament.
Yeah, I know, Gonzaga failed to live up to the hype the last few years. But still, the fact it is top 10 just about every year is remarkable.

Indicted for a NDA that supposedly is a campaign violation 7 years ago?
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised it will help his numbers.
And that may well be the intention.
“The material impact of this indictment will be limited, at least insofar as Putin is concerned. The ICC has no police force. It cannot compel nations to execute the arrest warrant. So, like fellow ICC-indicted war criminal and head of state, Sudan’s Omar Hassan al-Bashir, Putin will be free to travel to any place that doesn’t mind the stench.
More significant will be the political fallout. Putin’s status as an indicted war criminal will affect his ability to deal with other heads of state. Making it worse, he’s not indicted for run-of-the-mill atrocities. Instead, by charging him with kidnapping kids, he’s basically been labeled a pedophile masquerading as a head of state.
Any claim Putin could ever lay to a world leadership role is effectively finished. It is also tough to imagine anyone trying to broker a peace deal with someone indicted by the ICC. If the ICC is following the model of the UN report, we can expect more indictments to follow. I’m sure that Putin will be charged with other offenses, but I think we can anticipate some members of the Russian defense establishment and armed forces will be indicted in the near future.”
Catholic school players and those in the CYO leagues are known for focusing on defense and making free throws – keys to success in the tournament.
My girls team won the Rec title again this year although we only had one girl from last year’s team. 13-1 record.
Well done, Bitterlaw!
I miss the Scouts. With my son growing up, and me working nights, don’t get many opportunities to help out.

73! Good for him!

Finland now has Turkey’s and Hungary’s support to become part of NATO, and will soon be a member. What a total disaster for Putin. He will have NATO right at his northern doorstep.
“How Finland Could Tilt the Balance Against Putin
Helsinki sits less than 200 miles from Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg, and Finland’s NATO membership would deliver “poetic justice” to him if this whole conflict “allegedly was about preventing Ukraine from joining NATO and shutting NATO’s open-door policy,” Monaghan said.
“It pushes him further into a corner,” said James Dobbins, a former senior U.S. diplomat now at the Rand Corporation. “If he wins in Ukraine but loses Finland, he comes out of this without having gained much. If he loses both, which is more likely, then he’s compounded his problem and the sort of nightmare scenario of an overriding NATO right on Russia’s border.” Finland’s 830-mile border with Russia would double NATO’s border against Moscow, amounting to the longest potential front between the European Union and Russia. “It’s a new problem not just in a military sense but in a cultural and economic sense,” Dobbins said.”
Thinking about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, which do you think is more likely?
Laboratory leak 64%
Natural transmission 22%
@QuinnipiacPoll

Apparently the Biden/Fauci attempt to state the possibility of a lab leak as the origin of the COVID virus was a dangerous conspiracy theory failed badly.

Ok, so that was funny.
Finland and Sweden are great additions to NATO.
To the credit of their leaders, they understood the threat from Russia and acted accordingly.
Hopefully NATO will remain united in support of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and will continue to support it with military equipment, training and intelligence.
Trump is deranged. I’ll make it my goal in life to stop him from being elected. Even if I die in the process.

Paul
Please feel free to make every effort to STOP Trump.
I’ll cheer you on to the end.
Congrats, Mr. Bitter.
None of you sleuths picked up on the ERIC info I posted–despite my hints.
AZ, MI PA and GA (and possibly WI) all joined ERIC voter registration systems between 2017 and 2020.
And all 5 of them were key, close votes in 2020 GE that all broke for Biden over Trump.
******************************************
Imagine that!
Tgca:
I will. It might not be all that difficult.
1236 Not my goal in life but at least Paul found a goal.
He was a heck of a better President than Biden.
Joe Biden with Irish PM.
‘I’m really not Irish because I’m sober…and I don’t have any relatives in jail…’ –
“He also told another cringeworthy story about a corrupt politician named “Paddy,” whom he said was a friend of his father. Not only was “Paddy” another Irish stereotype, but some also found the description apropos give what had just been reported about the Biden family.
“Paddy was like “a late [Chicago] Mayor [Richard] Daley, you know, brother-in-law-on-the-payroll kind of thing,” Biden recalled — just a day after House Republicans released bank record information on Biden family income from China to Hunter and James Biden, presidential daughter-in-law Hallie Biden and also an unnamed Biden.
Biden said he couldn’t understand how his grandfather — “Mr. Rectitude” — would invite such a shady character to join the family for lunch.
“You’re wondering why I like Paddy?” Biden’s grandfather supposedly said.
“He said … ‘Let me tell you something,’ he’d look at you say, ‘Ambrose. I’m going to cut your heart out.’ And you know he’d mean it,” the president recalled.
“Or, ‘Ambrose, I’m going to jump off the bridge for you.’ Whatever he said, he’d do — just remember, do what you say. Do what you say.”
I give that one a stupid but typical Irish comment.
Cash Cow. Why are you against election integrity?
1233. The same researcher who at Fauci’s request wrote the original “independent” study claiming the Wuhan market was the source of COVID, and not the Wuhan lab, is at it again.
Several years ago, Fauci praised the “independent study” at a news conference to debunk the lab leak theory. What Fauci didn’t mention is he had commissioned and reviewed the draft of the study in question. The lab where the study originated afterwards received a multi-million dollar grant from Fauci’s agency shortly afterwards.
This sleaziness has all come out in the news over the last several months. It quite a bit of arrogance for the Scripps lab to bring out yet another study after it’s 1st study was discredited. Now it is a raccoon and not a pangolin.
“That conclusion has now been overturned by an international team of scientists. Their analysis of gene sequences posted by the Chinese team to the scientific database Gisaid found that some of the Covid-positive samples were rich in DNA from raccoon dogs. Traces of DNA belonging to other mammals, including civets, were also present in Covid-positive samples.
The discovery does not prove that raccoon dogs or other animals infected with Covid triggered the pandemic, but scientists presenting the work to an expert group at the World Health Organization on Tuesday believe it makes that more likely.
“The data does point even further to a market origin,” Prof Kristian Andersen, an evolutionary biologist at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California, told Science magazine. Andersen attended a meeting of the WHO’s scientific advisory group for the origins of novel pathogens and is working on the data.”
Most people, including Irish Americans, don’t know that calling an Irish person Paddy more than 100 years ago was like calling a black person “N” or slurs to other groups.
1236. “Trump is deranged. I’ll make it my goal in life to stop him from being elected. Even if I die in the process”
Paul, keep in mind that the social media is heavily monitored by certain government agencies. There is a line which once crossed makes you an interesting person to them. Your not at that line yet, and I would suggest you never reach it.
It’s ok. Paul can shoot someone at noon in Times Square and he will get off for reasons of insanity.
I think it is shameful Bitter is using the massive traffic here at HHR to appropriate the name for a law firm. The least he could do is give us a share of the profits

More than 100 years ago?
A woman challenging a man more than 100 years go was disrespectful and not tolerated either, but what does that have to do with anything today?
As someone with a smitten of Irish ancestry, it doesn’t bother me any more than labeling Irish drunks and wife beaters which has some historical stereotypical truth as well.
The Irish treated the EYE-talians horribly in the early 20th century until the TOMATO lovers rose up and Bish slapped down the POTATO lovers. Notice the micks don’t mess with the degos any more.
But I’m not gonna JUDGE anybody or get into name-calling since they’re all guilty of it at one time or another.
I had Purdue to reach the final 4.
They lost to a no. 16 seed, Fairleigh Dickinson.
GFYs.
So all of a sudden, China provides some data and COVID is all the raccoon dogs fault?
These results are inconsistent with other DNA analyses the last couple of years that suggested a manufactured altered virus from component analysis. Why did they notice the raccoon dog DNA all of a sudden?
The fact that there may be some evidence of raccoon dog being infected or spreading the infection does not preclude the virus came from a lab in the 1st place.
Supposedly, the lab was in close proximity to the markets and possibly
