&lt;i&gt;Beating Trump is indeed the mission and with Biden you get the best of all worlds … literally. &lt;/i&gt;

Exactly right. A guy with the exact experience needed to clean up the Trump stench that is going to linger worldwide. Biden has the experience and the contacts and can hit the ground running. There is no other candidate better suited to the task.</description>

&lt;i&gt;But, in the here and now, with this HHPTDS-infused hate-fest, common sense and rational, logical dissertations are no where to be found.. :( &lt;/i&gt;

A guy who claims common sense on this forum is &quot;no where&quot; to be found and expects people to take him seriously. How pathetic is that? Rhetorical question.</description>

For the first time in 29 years, total drug overdoses in America finally declined in July, falling by 5 percent thanks to the bipartisan Support for Patients and Communities Act that President Trump signed last year. 

But don’t expect to hear about these bipartisan achievements from the anti-Trump media. &lt;/I&gt;

You also brought up The First Step Act for helping prisoners to prepare for re-entry into society, and both of these are great bi-partisan legislation and Trump should be commended for signing them into law.   

But let’s be clear, if you want to commend anyone for this legislation getting passed, it should be the Democrats.   This is legislation that has been needed for too long, and the Democrats have tried to get versions of it passed during the previous administration.   Sadly,  even though the President supported the legislation, the Republicans refused to vote for any legislation that Obama supported...preventing it from getting signed into law.

Democrats have clearly demonstrated that they are more interested in passing needed legislation than they are worried about Trump getting to take the credit for signing it into law.  You cannot say that is true for the Republicans.   Sadly, even with Trump as president, Moscow Mitch has not allowed bi-partisan legislation that passed in the House to be sent to committees or voted on.   

Republicans do not know how to create good legislation.   They only know how to attack the ideas of others — and they do so without figuring out alternative solutions to offer in their place.  

So bravo to Trump for doing his job the right way!   But you gotta admit, with where things are heading, any prison reform legislation that Trump signs into law might be done for more personal reasons and he is just planning ahead!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Love Stargate Atlantis, but don’t bother with Stargate Universe — they canceled it after 3 seasons without warning, so you are left with no closure for anyone! Atlantis has an incredible cast...but David Hewlett truly steals the show. If you haven’t reached the episode where he slowly begins to lose his intelligence...just be prepared to have a good supply of Kleenex ready for the tears you’ll be shedding! &lt;/I&gt;

Yea, I have binge watched STARGATE ATLANTIS several times now...  Watching BRAIN STORM as I type....

The Shrine?? Oh yes, one of the best.. TAO OF RODNEY was also very very GOOD.. But my favorite would have to be MCKAY AND MRS MILLER.. Any S:A with Jeannie Miller in it is awesome...

I had SO looked forward to an S:A movie for the kind of closure that STARGATE SG-1 ARK OF TRUTH gave us... 

But sadly it was not meant to be..

&lt;I&gt;You and Rodney McKay share a lot of similarities in your personalities, in my mind, Michale — and I will leave it at that.&lt;/I&gt;

I choose to take that as a compliment..

As I am sure Rodney McKay would as well.  :D</description>

		<description>One last show I meant to add — Falling Skies.   Noah Wiley shows how broad his acting range truly is in this compared with his work in The Librarians.</description>

		<description>I really liked travelers, and am interested to know whether or not they are renewed for another season. Don&#039;t know how they could top the last season&#039;s ending though.</description>

		<description>Other shows that deserve binge watching:  Eureka!, Dark Matter, Leverage, The Librarians, Grimm and if you liked the old Police Squad show (Naked Gun franchise) then I would toss in Angie Tribeca. 

Love Stargate Atlantis, but don’t bother with Stargate Universe — they canceled it after 3 seasons without warning, so you are left with no closure for anyone!

If you haven’t reached the episode where he slowly begins to lose his intelligence...just be prepared to have a good supply of Kleenex ready for the tears you’ll be shedding!   You and Rodney McKay share a lot of similarities in your personalities, in my mind, Michale — and I will leave it at that.   

Leverage and The Librarians are smart shows.  John Larroquette is great in the Librarians.   

Dark Matter ended after 5 seasons still with some conflicts not resolved, but they were “new conflicts” as the issues you are first introduced to at the very first are resolved by season 4.  

Eureka! surprised me at how good it was.   Another smart show that benefitted from strong performances by its cast.  

I almost added Andromeda, but after season 3 it started to get to way too cheesy!  They had Zorbo falling for a new woman in every episode; which the show did not need...it became a Bay Watch in space sort of crap fest.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Unless the entire premise is weird. As my brother likes to say, &quot;That&#039;s the part where you suspended your belief?&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

Yea.. Anything involving time travel is, by definition, weird..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;That&#039;s why I hate temporal mechanics. It gives me nose bleeds&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Geordi LaForge

Throw in the theory that you can&#039;t really alter the path of time. If you attempt to do so, you simply create alternate time lines???

MAJOR mind frak....</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I wouldn&#039;t recommend binge watching, Michale. And, don&#039;t waste your time with Jason Bourne - it&#039;s much like the conversation around here of late ...&lt;/I&gt;

hehehe

What do you recommend?? I have seen both seasons of REVOLUTION, all 3 seasons of JERICHO... Watched Season 2 of TOM CLANCY&#039;S JACK RYAN..  Just finishing up Season 5 of STARGATE ATLANTIS...

Can&#039;t wait for the new THE WITCHER series from Netflix..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I liked nothing about it. It was not a great note to end on.&lt;/I&gt;

Really??  I have to admit there were some disappointments..

But when the portals started opening up and all the taken were coming back..

I loved that part..

&lt;I&gt;I liked nothing about it. It was not a great note to end on.&lt;/I&gt;

Never really got into the Bourne movies.. Although I loved the books..

Maybe I should binge-watch the series....  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;That&#039;s for other sites. This site is for politics.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea..  Before the haters showed up, it was a place for friends to talk about a multitude of subjects.

It was a very close knit group of friends..

Then you people showed up... 

And it&#039;s been going downhill since..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;We can talk about what you liked about ENDGAME... :D&lt;/I&gt;

I liked nothing about it. It was not a great note to end on.

Kind of like Jason Bourne. The last great Bourne movie was the Bourne Legacy.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;That ship sailed a long time ago.&lt;/I&gt;

How can it sail when there has been no public testimony??

You see how illogical and irrational you are??

You can&#039;t even CONCEIVE that you will lose.

Which is hilarious because ya had the EXACT same belief with the Mueller Russia Collusion delusion.

And you were flat out WRONG...  You LOST...

Just as you will lose with this faux impeachment coup.

You yourself have even conceded this..

&lt;B&gt; &quot;I just wanted to bring everyone back to reality. There isn&#039;t going to be an impeachment, because Republicants can&#039;t bring themselves to do it. We (dems) knew that this was true before we started it, but feel compelled to do it all the same.

In the end, like a Thanksgiving turkey which has been meticulously prepped, the process is leading to a half-baked result.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Of course, I understand your reluctance. Hard to defend the undefendable.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea.. I am SO &quot;reluctant&quot;..  

:D

&lt;I&gt; The fact that he got five million less votes sticks in our craw though.&lt;/I&gt;

Only because you hate this country and it&#039;s Constitution..

The Constitution says that the vanity vote doesn&#039;t mean dick in a Presidential election..

And, as you say, you HATE that.. It sticks in your craw...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;That is apparently true. Look in the mirror.&lt;/I&gt;

Nice deflection..

But I have no problem admitting when I am wrong and have proved so on the few occasions that I was..

Ya&#039;all, on the other hand, haven&#039;t even accepted that President Trump is the fairly, freely, legally, democratically and Constitutionally Elected President Of The United States..

So, who is the fanatic that can&#039;t admit they are wrong??

&lt;B&gt;And, when open testimony begins and ya&#039;all STILL have nothing but hearsay and rumor??

What will you do then??&lt;/B&gt;

I noticed how you ignored the question.. The mark of a true fanatic.. :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;If Biden did it for personal reasons then why did the IMF do it?&lt;/I&gt;

You don&#039;t think it&#039;s possible that Biden and the IMF had different reasons??

Where are your facts to support your claim they did it for the same reasons..

Obama can put the question to rest..  The fact that Obama does NOT do this would indicate that there IS some question as to Biden&#039;s motivations..

&lt;I&gt;I expected better arguments from you, Michale, or admit that you are wrong about all quid pro quos being the same.&lt;/I&gt;

ALL quid pro quos ARE the same..

The motivations may differ, but a quid pro quo is a quid pro quo is a quid pro quo...

This is fact..

&lt;I&gt;Soon, we won&#039;t have anything to talk about. :(&lt;/I&gt;

We can talk about what you liked about ENDGAME... :D

Maybe SPIDER MAN FAR FROM HOME..  How sad you are that the Marvel Universe is over.. :(

We have a PLETHORA of subjects we can discuss.. :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Sorry, but those facts are very much &quot;in evidence&quot;.&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, you cannot produce a SINGLE ONE..

Funny how that ALWAYS is the case, eh?? :D

&lt;I&gt;You&#039;re becoming quite the expert in &quot;circular argument&quot; in which circular reasoning plays a role.

Of course, the entire thing falls apart once the open testimony begins.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, and after the Mueller report be released, President Trump is going to be frog-marched from the Oval Office..

Your predictions haev ***ALWAYS*** been wrong.. But I still think it&#039;s cute how you continue to believe in your own BS... :D</description>

I expected better arguments from you, Michale, or admit that you are wrong about all quid pro quos being the same. And, what&#039;s worse, I know you don&#039;t really believe what you are trying to argue here.

And, so, I am done with you on this issue.

Soon, we won&#039;t have anything to talk about. :(</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Now, you&#039;re just pretending to be obtuse.&lt;/I&gt;

Nope.. Again.. Just the facts.

Biden confessed to his Quid Pro Quo..

You see, my dearest Liz... Your problem is that to prove quid pro quo, you MUST prove state of mind..

We know Biden&#039;s state of mind because he STATED it... For the record..

Ya&#039;all can only GUESS at President Trump&#039;s state of mind, but such guesses are colored by the hatred ya&#039;all feel for President Trump and are, as such, not serious..</description>

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;What has most decidedly NOT been a hallmark of US diplomacy is a president using a quid pro quo based itself on unsubstantiated claims for his own personal political interests.&lt;/I&gt;


Assumes facts not in evidence..

&lt;I&gt;What Biden did and what Trump did are as different as day and night.&lt;/I&gt;

Actually, what Biden did and what President Trump did are IDENTICAL in every way..

While it&#039;s your claim that the MOTIVATIONS are different (a claim you have not a SHRED of fact to support) that doesn&#039;t change the FACT that what President Trump did and what Biden did are IDENTICAL ACTIONS...

That is, of course, if you buy into the idea that President Trump engaged in quid pro quo...

There are no facts to support that claim..

But it is UNDENIABLE that Biden engaged in quid pro quo because he STATED as much..

So, there isn&#039;t any daylight between what Biden did and what President Trump did..

I would dare say there really isn&#039;t any difference in the motivations..  Sans testimony from Obama, Biden did it for personal reasons..

It can be reasonably inferred that President Trump did it for personal reasons as well..</description>

<p>While it's your claim that the MOTIVATIONS are different (a claim you have not a SHRED of fact to support) that doesn't change the FACT that what President Trump did and what Biden did are IDENTICAL ACTIONS...</p>
<p>That is, of course, if you buy into the idea that President Trump engaged in quid pro quo...</p>
<p>There are no facts to support that claim..</p>
<p>But it is UNDENIABLE that Biden engaged in quid pro quo because he STATED as much..</p>
<p>So, there isn't any daylight between what Biden did and what President Trump did..</p>
<p>I would dare say there really isn't any difference in the motivations..  Sans testimony from Obama, Biden did it for personal reasons..</p>
<p>It can be reasonably inferred that President Trump did it for personal reasons as well..</p>

		<description>Can any of ya find the law or constitutional amendment that forbids quid pro quo to further a political agenda??

Hell the VERY DEFINITION of quid pro quo vis a vis politics IS to further a political agenda...

Basically, I can&#039;t find the law or Constitutional Amendment that says &lt;B&gt;&quot;QUID PRO QUO IS ILLEGAL AND HEINOUS WHEN DONE BY A PRESIDENT THAT WE REALLY REALLY *REALLY* HATE!!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Find me that law or Constitutional Amendment and I will gladly concede yer point.  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;How do you reconcile those two diametrically opposed beliefs??? Especially when one considers that quid pro quo has been the HALLMARK of US diplomacy since there WAS a U.S.&lt;/I&gt;

What has most decidedly NOT been a hallmark of US diplomacy is a president using a quid pro quo with the leader of Ukraine, based itself on unsubstantiated claims, for his own personal political interests. I believe that sort of behavior is wholly unprecedented in the history of the United States of America.

What Biden did and what Trump did are as different as day and night. The former furthered the interests of the US and of Ukraine while the latter only furthered the personal political interests of the president alone.

I know you understand the difference, Michale.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Face it fumduckers, your entire impeachment fiasco falls under the category of Political Theater! You&#039;ve gotta shake off the PTSD syndrome overhang from 2016 and join the world of reality.&lt;/I&gt;

If they hadn&#039;t shooked it in 3 years, it&#039;s doubtful they are even CAPABLE of shaking it off.

Can you imagine how much deeper their psychosis will go when President Trump is re-elected!!!  :D</description>

Much as the orange moron merits removal from office, this impeachment circus ain&#039;t gonna get it done, and if you replace Hillary on the 2020 ticket with the 2nd most unlikely  Democratic to ever get elected, you&#039;re gonna have to endure him for 4 more yrs.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;O F C O U R S E ! ! !

Not interesting. Very boring.&lt;/I&gt;

OK.. So it&#039;s agreed that Biden engaged in quid pro quo..

Yet, it&#039;s the DEMOCRATS&#039; assertion that President Trump engaged in quid pro quo and THAT was illegal..

Hell.. Those of lesser brains even claim it&#039;s UNCONSTITUTIONAL...

How do you reconcile those two diametrically opposed beliefs???</description>

		<description>Michale,

&lt;I&gt;Especially when one considers that quid pro quo has been the HALLMARK of US diplomacy since there WAS a U.S.&lt;/I&gt;

Of course.

What has most decidedly NOT been a hallmark of US diplomacy is a president using a quid pro quo based itself on unsubstantiated claims for his own personal political interests.

What Biden did and what Trump did are as different as day and night. The former furthered the interests of the US and of Ukraine while the latter only furthered the personal political interests of the president alone.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;From the deposition of William Taylor, the former Ambassador to Ukraine:

&quot;And, of course, whether it meets a legal definition of ‘quid pro quo’ or it doesn’t is really irrelevant to what we’re focused on here. But it is your testimony that, hey, you don’t make these public statements about these two political investigations we want, you’re not getting this meeting – you make these statements, you’ll get the meeting; you don’t make these statements, you won’t.

&quot;Yes,&quot; Taylor concluded.&lt;/I&gt;

Taylor rendered an OPINION.. HIS opinion.. 

NOT A FACT...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;What facts do you have that support the assertion&lt;/I&gt;

The same &quot;facts&quot; you have when you assert that President Trump was only interested in campaign dirt and NOT interested in rooting out corruption...

PLUS...  Obama has not backed up Biden&#039;s claim that Biden&#039;s actions were part of the US Policy..

Ergo, the ONLY reason that Biden extorted the Ukrainians left is that Biden was protecting his son..


&lt;I&gt;you make that Biden was helping his son when he presented Poroshenko, the Ukrainian leader, with a quid pro quo in which the US would withhold billions of dollars in assistance unless the Ukrainian Prosecutor General was removed from office?&lt;/I&gt;

Interesting.. So you concede that VP Biden DID engage in quid pro quo...

OK.. So explain why the Democrat VP&#039;s quid pro quo was acceptable and the GOP PRESIDENT&#039;s quid pro quo was not acceptable??

Either quid pro quo is acceptable or it is not..

You can&#039;t change yer attitudes just because of the -D or the -R after the name..

It&#039;s not allowed..  :D</description>

		<description>Balthasar,

&lt;I&gt;So the reasoning goes, if it isn&#039;t treason, it&#039;s bribery, and if not that, then some other high crime or misdemeanor.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea??  Facts to support???

Especially when one considers that quid pro quo has been the HALLMARK of US diplomacy since there WAS a U.S.

But, under President Trump, it&#039;s YOUR claim that it is, all of the sudden, UNCONSTITUTIONAL..

Shirley, you jest...

&lt;I&gt;Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.&lt;/I&gt;

Yer kinda putting the cart before the horse, sunshine..

You don&#039;t even have an impeachment yet.. And yer already fantasizing about penalties??

Like I said.. Hatred and bigotry.. Nothing else in play..

&lt;I&gt;And further, I&#039;ll take the word of experienced and dedicated civil servants over the word of political appointees whether or not a &quot;quid pro quo&quot; existed!&lt;/I&gt;

AS LONG AS THOSE &quot;dedicated civil servants&quot; are saying what you want to hear...

There.. Fixed it for you.  Yer welcome..</description>

		<description>Michale,

&lt;I&gt;Facts to support your claim???&lt;/I&gt;

That&#039;s a strange game you play for someone who spreads lies that are unsubstantiated with even a cogent argument or two.

What facts do you have that support the assertion you make that Biden was helping his son when he presented Poroshenko, the Ukrainian leader, with a quid pro quo in which the US would withhold billions of dollars in assistance unless the Ukrainian Prosecutor General was removed from office?</description>

<p>What facts do you have that support the assertion you make that Biden was helping his son when he presented Poroshenko, the Ukrainian leader, with a quid pro quo in which the US would withhold billions of dollars in assistance unless the Ukrainian Prosecutor General was removed from office?</p>

		<description>In Article 2, section 4:

&lt;b&gt; &quot;The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.&quot; &lt;/b&gt;

So the reasoning goes, if it isn&#039;t treason, it&#039;s bribery, and if not that, then some other high crime or misdemeanor.

And incidentally, the President CAN be tried for these offenses once safely out of office. Found that out.

Article 1, section 3, clause 7:

&lt;b&gt;Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.&lt;/b&gt;

Nifty.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;There are no lies, only FACTS..

False.&lt;/I&gt;

Facts to support your claim???

&lt;I&gt;Unfortunately for this blog and for your friends, many of your comments are fact-free, particularly with regard to Senator Biden.&lt;/I&gt;

Yes, that&#039;s the continued unsubstantiated claim...  :D

&lt;I&gt;And, I won&#039;t allow it to continue with impunity.&lt;/I&gt;

Easiest (and, as a matter of fact) *ONLY* way to put an end to it is to provide facts of your own that prove my facts wrong..

Until such time as you can do that, my facts stand as valid.. :D</description>

Dumbocrats HAVE no relevant facts...

So how can ANY side grapple with facts that don&#039;t exist??</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I don&#039;t remember the phrase &quot;and it has to work!&quot; written into the constitution (and ignoring the fact that Trump ran the same scheme, albeit quieter, with Porshenko).&lt;/I&gt;

Please quote the part of the US Constitution that applies to ANYTHING President Trump has done with regards to this faux impeachment coup??

Any part at all??

&lt;I&gt;In the present case, the money had been cleared by the Pentagon. The White House had the hold on the Military Aid.&lt;/i&gt;

In the present case, there was no money involved... Unlike Joe Biden&#039;s billion dollar extortion...

Secondly, even if you were factually accurate on who held up the military aid (which you are not) the simple FACT is that aid was delivered without any &quot;dirt&quot; being provided..

No quid pro quo exists..

What part of that is too complex for you to comprehend??

All of this ALSO presupposes that quid pro quo IS NOT the way of diplomacy.. 

Which it most certainly is..</description>

		<description>What&#039;s so hilarious about Democrats are the facts..

1.  President Zelensky did not launch any investigation.

2.  The military aid was delivered once the Pentagon cleared the shipment..

So, even if Quid Pro Quo **WASN&#039;T** the way that US diplomacy works and even if Joe Biden himself hadn&#039;t gone rogue and engaged in Quid Pro Quo to benefit his son......    at WORST, Dumbocrats have ATTEMPTED Quid Pro Quo by President Trump..

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So, even if Democrats are factually accurate on their &quot;truth&quot;, they STILL don&#039;t have a case of quid pro quo..

Because the dirt on Biden was never produced and the military aid was still delivered..

NO QUID PRO QUO...

It&#039;s THAT simple...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Trump Launches Black Outreach Effort for 2020

ATLANTA (AP) — During the 2016 campaign, candidate Donald Trump stood in front of largely white crowds and asked black voters to consider, “What the hell do you have to lose?”

Four years later, the president has a new message for black voters: Look what I’ve delivered.


Trump and his campaign launched a new “Black Voices for Trump” outreach initiative in Atlanta on Friday dedicated to “recruiting and activating Black Americans in support of President Trump,” according to the campaign. Much of that effort will focus on highlighting ways that African Americans have benefited from the Trump economy, according to advisers.

“The support we’re getting from the African American community has been overwhelming,” Trump told the crowd, which included supporters wearing red “BLACK LIVES MAGA” hats.

He predicted victory in 2020, and said, “We’re going to do it with a groundswell of support from hardworking African American patriots.”&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Bloomberg Move Seen as Slam on Dems&#039; Current 2020 Field

Just seven months ago, Bloomberg announced he would not enter the Democratic primary after a brief exploration phase. His advisers, at the time, privately shared their analysis that there wasn’t room for another centrist like Bloomberg with Biden in the race.

What a difference seven months makes.

The former vice president showed vulnerability in his campaign’s earliest days with a series of flubs and uneven performances that bothered his establishment allies. Still, Biden led in virtually every poll for much of the year because of the persistent belief that he was the most electable Democrat in a head-to-head matchup against Trump.

A turning point came last month when Biden released a weak third-quarter fundraising report that undermined a supposed strength, raising serious questions about the extent of his support from the party’s power brokers. And in recent weeks, a series of underwhelming polls in Iowa and New Hampshire suggested that Biden is falling behind in the states that typically matter most in primary politics.

He is clearly trending in the wrong direction. And the universe of concerned Democrats is expanding.

They include establishment allies such as former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who encouraged Biden last month to fire consultants and stop flying on private planes. They include rank-and-file voters like Bobbi Helton, a retiree from Hilton Head, S.C., who said this week that she’s still shopping for a candidate in the moderate lane.

“I’ve always thought Biden was wonderful,” she said at an event for another candidate this week. “But watching the debates he’s a step behind in his thinking. If he’s going to debate Trump, Trump is going to wipe him out.”&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/11/09/bloombergs_move_seen_as_slam_on_current_dem_field_141703.html

So, this begs the question..

Is Biden falling because the Democrat Party is coming to realize that they don&#039;t want to be the Party of old white rich men and are embracing the Socialist Wing of the Party??

Or is Biden falling because Democrats just don&#039;t think he can cut it, a socialist candidate can&#039;t beat President Trump, so Democrats might as well stay home??

It sure would be nice to see some reality-based hard hitting reality check of the Democrat Party from denizens of Weigantia...

Ironically enough, Balthasar has come to the closest to taking the Democrat Party to task when he agreed with me about Rahm&#039;s Op-Ed...

It would be nice if others adopted a REALITY-BASED attitude in their comments, rather than a DEMOCRAT PARTY CAN DO NO WRONG attitude..

At least there would be MANY opportunities for common ground..

And maybe that&#039;s why no one here does it...  

Hmmmmmmmm</description>

<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/11/09/bloombergs_move_seen_as_slam_on_current_dem_field_141703.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/11/09/bloombergs_move_seen_as_slam_on_current_dem_field_141703.html</a></p>
<p>So, this begs the question..</p>
<p>Is Biden falling because the Democrat Party is coming to realize that they don't want to be the Party of old white rich men and are embracing the Socialist Wing of the Party??</p>
<p>Or is Biden falling because Democrats just don't think he can cut it, a socialist candidate can't beat President Trump, so Democrats might as well stay home??</p>
<p>It sure would be nice to see some reality-based hard hitting reality check of the Democrat Party from denizens of Weigantia...</p>
<p>Ironically enough, Balthasar has come to the closest to taking the Democrat Party to task when he agreed with me about Rahm's Op-Ed...</p>
<p>It would be nice if others adopted a REALITY-BASED attitude in their comments, rather than a DEMOCRAT PARTY CAN DO NO WRONG attitude..</p>
<p>At least there would be MANY opportunities for common ground..</p>
<p>And maybe that's why no one here does it...  </p>
<p>Hmmmmmmmm</p>

		<description>On a note unrelated to politics.

Has any Windows 10 users experienced a lot of MACHINE CHECK EXCEPTION BSOD in the last week or so??

My machine has rebooted at least once a day with the MCE BSOD...

I think the cause might be the latest Win10 update from Microsoft.. Anyone else???</description>

		<description>And now, let&#039;s re-visit some facts that all of ya&#039;all continue to ignore.. :D

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Democrats desperation to impeach is directly and inversely proportional to their confidence that they can beat President Trump at the ballot box.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Weigantian Wisdom

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Impeachment can be legitimate if and only if it emanates from a bipartisan conviction that the president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors – when people of opposing viewpoints can come together in agreement over the seriousness of the offense and the appropriateness of the sanction.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Joe Biden, 1998

&lt;B&gt;“Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path because it divides the country.”&lt;/B&gt;
-Nancy Pelosi, Mar 2019

&lt;B&gt;“If the evidence isn’t sufficient to win bipartisan support for this, putting the country through a failed impeachment isn’t a good idea.”&lt;/B&gt;
-Adam Schiff

The gist???

If an impeachment isn&#039;t bi-partisan it is not legitimate..

If an impeachment is not legitimate, it is illegal..

An illegal impeachment is a coup.. Or, per Benjamin Franklin, an assassination..

Leave it to Dumbocrats to decide that a political assassination is the BEST way to address their hatred, bigotry and sore-luser&#039;ism...  :smirk:  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;As the Democrats and their Trump-hating media allies are well aware, there is no possibility that the required 20 Senate Republicans would vote to remove a sitting Republican president – who has done nothing impeachable – from office.  This is all about trying to manufacture bad publicity for the president going into the 2020 election.  Period.

If Democrats in this do-nothing Congress really cared for the people they supposedly represent, they’d get back to work on important issues, such as passing the US-Mexico-Canada trade deal, lowering the cost of prescription drugs or coming up with health care proposals that might actually work outside the Progressive’s Socialist fairy land.  Those are the issues Americans actually care about and the issues Democrats are ignoring.&lt;/B&gt;

It&#039;s rather ironic that there is absolutely no daylight between me and Balthasar on this... :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;For the first time in 29 years, total drug overdoses in America finally declined in July, falling by 5 percent thanks to the bipartisan Support for Patients and Communities Act that President Trump signed last year. The Support Act has modernized and expanded addiction treatment, and is funding crucial research into alternative pain medications that could eventually eliminate the need for addictive opioid medications.

But don’t expect to hear about these bipartisan achievements from the anti-Trump media. Democrats are trying desperately to humiliate and unseat a president who’s done more for their voters in less than three years than they themselves ever have.&lt;/B&gt;

President Trump has been better for the Democrat agenda than Democrats **EVER** have...

Once again, the Weigantia of days past would have acknowledged these FACTS and this reality..

But today&#039;s HHPTDS-suffering Weigantia totally ignores these facts and this reality in favor of Democrat Party &quot;truth&quot;...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;We choose truth over facts.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Joe Biden

Yes, Joe.. You are absolutely right.. Democrats DO choose their truth over the facts.

And THAT is why Democrats will lose big in 2020...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;In addition to the strongest job market in half a century, Trump achieved the most significant criminal justice reforms in at least a generation last year, addressing a long-standing priority of many Democratic voters. The First Step Act reduces sentences for certain drug felonies and other non-violent crimes, fixes the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine, and allows prisoners to more easily earn early-release credits for participating in educational programs that help prepare them for life outside prison.?&lt;/B&gt;

Once again, President Trump delivers the goods on issues that Democrats *CLAIM* to care about..

There is also the FACT that President Trump has initiated the most far-reaching gun control law since 1986... 

That&#039;s not my opinion, that&#039;s CW&#039;s opinion...

Once again, President Trump does wonders for the DEMOCRAT agenda but no one here cares..

Ya&#039;all (NEN) can&#039;t get past your hate and your bigotry..</description>

		<description>Once again.. We have Democrat hysterical hatred and bigotry......

&lt;B&gt;Not surprisingly, income inequality – a major Democrat bugaboo – is also declining.  Contrary to fake news accounts, the Census Bureau’s recommended report on income and poverty recently found that income inequality declined slightly in 2018 using a traditional measure.  It also applied a more thorough “equivalency” measure and found a “statistically significant” decline.  In fact, the share of household income actually increased the most for the lowest 20 percent of earners (3.4 percent) while the top 20 percent was the only quintile to experience a decrease.&lt;/B&gt;

And then we have the FACTS...

President Trump has been awesome in the areas that Democrats **CLAIM** to care about..

But Democrats refuse to give President Trump credit for ANY of it..

They can&#039;t get past their hate and their bigotry..

It&#039;s simply amazing..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;African American unemployment reached an all time low of 5.4 percent in October, resulting in the smallest gap between black and white unemployment rates ever recorded. The Hispanic unemployment rate likewise reached an all-time low of 3.9 percent in September, and the Hispanic-American labor force participation rate reached its highest level in a decade the following month.

The left is fanatical about enforcing equal outcomes, and yet Democrats are trying desperately to get rid of a president whose policies have reduced economic disparities between racial groups to the lowest level in American history.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;People want someone who truly will shake up the system and stick it to the establishment that seeks only to make the rich richer and screw the rest of us over! Trump was NEVER going to be that!&lt;/I&gt;&lt;

And yet, President Trump IS that..

He has certainly shaken up the Democrat &quot;system&quot;.. :D

Unemployment for minorities is at it&#039;s lowest point &lt;B&gt;**IT&#039;S EVER BEEN!!**&lt;/B&gt;

President Trump has accomplished what yer messiah ODUMBO never could do!!

The simple fact is, President Trump has been more effective than you would EVER give him credit for..

You have hated President Trump since Nov of 2016 and have NEVER given him a chance...

Your opinion of President Trump is SOLELY based on hate, bigotry and hysterical emotionalism..

That&#039;s why I can discount practically EVERYTHING you say about it.. Because it&#039;s borne  of hate, bigotry and hysterical emotionalism without a single fact to support..

How do we know this to be factually accurate??

Because you have hated him since 10 Nov 2016, BEFORE he even took office...

You decided to hate Trump and you would just fill in the blanks later..

Yer a hater and a bigot..

It&#039;s that simple..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Wishful thinking. Frankly, we Americans as a whole just aren&#039;t that bright. Which is how we ended up in this position to begin with.&lt;/I&gt;

I disagree...

SF makes all these grand proclamations about how other countries have all this free stuff..

It&#039;s bullshit, of course, but let&#039;s pretend it&#039;s actually factual.

Are all those countries a Superpower??  Nope.. Many of them are shitholes..

The US is unique and exceptional.. It&#039;s pure socialist fantasy to believe that what works in New Zealand or Tahiti or Australia will work in the US.

To those that say how awesome it is in those countries that have all that free stuff, I say, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Well, then MOVE there!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

But people won&#039;t because they can&#039;t find a job there, they aren&#039;t allowed to immigrate there or it&#039;s a shithole..</description>

		<description>SF,

&lt;I&gt;When the democratic candidate demonstrates that Trump has not done anything to fix this nor does he have the ability to do anything to fix it even if he wanted to, and that he is just a big con, folks will turn on him and he won&#039;t just lose but he will be jailed.&lt;/I&gt;

Who am I to take away yer dreams??  :D

Just as long as you understand that you ARE dreaming..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;So, since Michael Bloomberg is likely entering the race, I guess ya&#039;all will be referring to him as &#039;Cadet FlatFeet&#039;, right??
&lt;/i&gt;

Why would we?   There is nothing to indicate that Bloomberg lied about his medical condition like Trump did.</description>

		<description>Don,

&lt;I&gt;It is also the same amount chosen in other instances by other people and organizations as threshold for a small contribution or donor.&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, but I don’t see those people claiming that anyone who accepts more than the limit they are setting are corrupt like you have done.  

&lt;I&gt;Not that it is out of character for you to repeat bullshit that has been addressed repeatedly while claiming it has never been addressed.&lt;/i&gt;

What is utter bullshit is the claim that you have actually addressed any issues being raised.  The fact is that you have no idea what you are talking about and are speaking out of ignorance.

&lt;I&gt;A candidate can easily afford to run a campaign on only small donors. There is no valid reason to take big money other than lack of courage, integrity or intelligence.&lt;/i&gt;

And you know this to be true based on what?  You have never run a campaign.  It’s very telling that you’ve spent a lot of time working on your website...but only in the areas that deal with people giving money to your fake group!   But you still do not make it clear that you will be making the information of anyone who signs up with One Demand public for all the world to see.  There is no acknowledgement box seeking to get permission from potential One Demand backers for their info.   

Yet, despite all of this, you still think your time is best spent on here trying to shame CW into writing about your imaginary movement....  maybe the fact that you still have only 4 people signed up after 5 years indicates you might want to rethink this approach?   

Nah!   We all know that ain’t gonna happen!</description>

		<description>Michale,

Are you claiming that Republicans are against the middle class having free and full healthcare benefits?   They rant on and on convincing their base that they should not support a law giving undeserving individuals a $50 gift card, but they fail to tell their base that voting against those $50 gift cards will cost them the $10,000 they would have received by voting in favor of that law!   

Face it, you support forcing Americans to overpay for their healthcare and prescriptions, as your Republican Party has blocked every bill the House has passed that tackles these subjects from ever getting a vote in the Senate!   

Remind me again how Trump’s wall will keep illegals and more importantly, illegal drugs, out of the country?  Trump bragged that expert climbers had determined that his choice for the wall would be impossible to get over.  Someone should tell Trump that Eric is not really an expert climber and that the harness he discovered in the bedroom Eric shared with Don Jr. was for... something else!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;So, basically what you are saying is that it&#039;s OK.. nay.. DESIRABLE to have a Trump..

As long as it&#039;s YOUR Trump.. :D&lt;/i&gt;

NO!   Trump is a lying sack of dicks that has only been interested in himself, he never intended on doing anything that didn’t benefit himself, first and foremost!   If his selfish actions happened to help anyone else, so be it — but that was a completely unintended side effect and was never Trump’s main purpose for his actions.  

You are confusing what people wanted and some even believed Trump would do if he were elected with the con man Trump that we actually have.  People want someone who truly will shake up the system and stick it to the establishment that seeks only to make the rich richer and screw the rest of us over!   Trump was NEVER going to be that!</description>

		<description>Don,

&lt;I&gt;Documented evidence? You mean like a quid pro quo?&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, like a quid pro quo!   You have stated that any politician that accepts large money donations will only work on behalf of those large money donors, and I would think that would be easy for you to provide evidence of since you base the purpose for your entire movement on that claim —yet you offer none.
&lt;I&gt;
Over 80% of citizens want the big money out of politics. Those citizens have seen enough evidence to reach the conclusion that big money is a problem.&lt;/i&gt;

Is that the conclusion that has been reached?  
&lt;I&gt;
I prefer to spend my time trying to get those citizens to work towards a solution rather than try to convince the other 20% of the obvious.

Unless you&#039;re counting PAC donations a candidate taking 25,000 from anybody would be violating campaign finance law.&lt;/i&gt;

You claim “big money” is the problem, but you also note that my example of $25k being given to a campaign exceeds the legal limits on donation amounts that are allowed.   In fact, you want us to believe that the 80% of citizens who say they want big money out of politics consider $5600 to be “big money”!   You are wanting to battle against folks giving $5600 when most people are much more concerned with the unlimited amounts of money that go into PAC’s and SuperPAC’s accounts!   Hell, why would a politician work on behalf of those you accuse of being “big money donors” and not focus far more on those that give to PACs when corporations can give donations to PACs that are hundreds of times larger than what can go directly to their campaign?   

You offer no explanation or proof as to why giving $350 (or whatever random amount you have chosen as the limit) to a candidate is OK, but even a cent more taints the donation as something to be rejected!?  Accepting anything more than the amount that you have randomly tossed out there as the standard for determining corruption really would do only thing.... it would make you the most powerful person in politics.  

YOU dictate what is acceptable and what is not based on whatever amount best fits the mood you are in!   

That might explain why you have not bothered to even find out what definition for “big money” most people are using when they say they want it out of politics.  Or maybe you have and you chose to ignore your findings, because you knew it would render OneDemand an act in futility.  

You just want to be known as the founder of a successful political grass roots movement — screw the details!</description>

		<description>Amazon the largest company in the world pays zero, that&#039;s right, zero taxes and Warren Buffet&#039;s secretary still pays more tax than he does.  Americans pay more for internet, phone service, appliances, and lot of other things than folks in other counties, because we have allowed big business to gain monopolies and to rig the system.  Now many Americans may not understand the actual mechanisms by which the plutocrats have taken over but they know in their bones that they don&#039;t have a fair chance in this society, and they are fed up.  When the democratic candidate demonstrates that Trump has not done anything to fix this nor does he have the ability to do anything to fix it even if he wanted to, and that he is just a big con, folks will turn on him and he won&#039;t just lose but he will be jailed.</description>

		<description>Let me save you some trouble, sunshine..

You WON&#039;T find **ANY** polls that say the majority of Americans want to pay slave reparations or want decriminalized/open borders or want illegal immigrants criminals to have free and full health care at middle-class Americans&#039; expense..

Your Left Wing Democrats are OUT OF TOUCH with the vast majority of Americans..

Why do you think Nancy Pelosi put a brake on the Dim candidates???</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Perhaps but &quot;Real Americans&quot; that hold those beliefs are a distinct minority. &lt;/I&gt;

Yea??  Facts to support??

Hell, I&#039;ll even accept POLLS that say the Majority of Americans **WANT** to pay slave reparations, **WANT** to lose the health care plans they like, **WANT** to give illegal immigrant criminals free and full health care, **WANT** to give up fossil fuels and fraking..

You have any polls that tell you this???

&lt;I&gt;Most of us hunger for a &quot;big structural change&quot; that will be in tune to the needs of us &quot;Real Americans&quot;.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea??  

Prove it....</description>

		<description>The problem with your hypothesis is that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans DON&#039;T WANT the kind of changes that a Left Wing &quot;Trump&quot; is pushing..

REAL Americans DON&#039;T WANT illegal immigrants to have free health care..

REAL Americans DON&#039;T WANT to lose the health care plans they like..

REAL Americans DON&#039;T WANT Open/Decriminalized Borders..

REAL Americans DON&#039;T WANT to pay slave reparations...

REAL Americans DON&#039;T WANT to give up fraking and fossil fuels and all the benefits they provide..

In short..  Simply put..

REAL Americans DON&#039;T WANT what they Far Left is selling..

It&#039;s THAT simple..</description>

		<description>I am surprised that no one is talking about why Bernie or EW will be the next POTUS.  In 2016 Trump tapped into a huge reservoir of frustration with the status quo and he was the ONLY candidate who spoke to their frustration.  Of course he is a complete fraud who never had any intention to actually change the status que, or to &quot;un-rig&quot; the system but he continues to talk that way and fools though they are, they cling to him in the vain hope  he will somehow make their lives better.  EW and Bernie speak to that desire to change the structure that has led to the unequal situation we have now.  The big difference of course, is that, they have actual plans to effect this change and the smarts to carry them out.  Once the nomination is secure it becomes a simple task to demonstrate that their plans will actually secure the structural change that many folks lust for, as opposed to Trump that has no plan and has demonstrated no ability to change anything for the better.</description>

In 2016 Trump tapped into a huge reservoir of frustration with the status quo and he was the ONLY candidate who spoke to their frustration.  Of course he is a complete fraud who never had any intention to actually change the status que, or to "un-rig" the system but he continues to talk that way and fools though they are, they cling to him in the vain hope  he will somehow make their lives better.  EW and Bernie speak to that desire to change the structure that has led to the unequal situation we have now.  The big difference of course, is that, they have actual plans to effect this change and the smarts to carry them out.  Once the nomination is secure it becomes a simple task to demonstrate that their plans will actually secure the structural change that many folks lust for, as opposed to Trump that has no plan and has demonstrated no ability to change anything for the better.</p>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Actually, you have to put some effort into it and only look where you think it will be - thereby missing everything else and not getting the whole picture.&lt;/I&gt;

I&#039;ll be yer Huckleberry..  :D

What sources are you looking at??

Because if one looks at the commonly quoted Weigantia Sources... HuffPoop, WaPoop, NY Grime, Salon and every other Left Wing rag, the picture is very clear...

Party purity wins hands down..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;When you see &quot;Party loyalty&quot; everywhere all you see is &quot;Party loyalty&quot; and quite a lot can be missed, entirely.&lt;/I&gt;

Considering that all the Left Wing is a-buzz about Medicare 4 All and Identity Politics etc etc, seeing Party Loyalty is not such a hard chore...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;See... We were having a nice reality based conversation, but then you went and spoiled it by Party loyalty..&lt;/I&gt;

Commenting too quickly without fully understanding the situation can be dangerous.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Okay, I said never mind the liberal voices, and your very next post was all about them.&lt;/I&gt;

And WHY do you think that is??  

WHY is Pelosi and Bloomberg worried about the Left turn of the crop of Democrat candidates??

&lt;I&gt;Get it out of your head that they can win the nomination: they can&#039;t...&lt;/I&gt;

OK.. So.. I CAN QUOTE YOU THAT THE LEFT WING SURGE OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS A BAD THING..

Right???

&lt;I&gt;What you have to get through your skull is that it&#039;s all a Goldilocks process. We&#039;ll find our center.&lt;/I&gt;

I don&#039;t think ya&#039;all will..

BUT...

But at least we agree that the Left ward shift of the Democrat Party is BAD for the Democrat Party..

Do we agree on that???</description>
