The Gazpacho came for the old people and I said nothing because I was not old. The Gazpacho came for the ladies and I said nothing because I was not a lady. Then the Gazpacho came for me and I was like, "Hey, I didn't order the soup I ordered the salad"

Heh. There is no bottom to the ignorance of the GOP inveterate morons.

But even if you find that definition too loose, the report’s message is not that there was nothing to worry about on the Trump-Russia front in 2016. Instead, it confirms that there were multiple shady connections between Trump and Russia, and that the president’s “no collusion” line is quite misleading. And at worst, the way it’s been presented suggests that the president and his attorney general are still actively trying to deceive the American people about what happened in 2016.

https://www.vox.com/2019/4/18/18484965/mueller-report-trump-no-collusion

Mueller never looked for evidence of Trump’s fictional legal catchphrase… but there is plenty of evidence of Trump’s campaign working with the Russians that Mueller did uncover. Putin got his money’s worth with Trump!

As opposed to Biden getting down on his knees and giving Putin a Nord Stream 2 blow job???

Funny how you ignore that Russ..

Which PROVES you really don't care when a President gives a blow job to an enemy leader..

You just want a club to beat President Trump and this country over the head with..

Hypocrisy.. Not A Democrat Programming Bug.. A Feature..

Mueller's report..

NO RUSSIAN COLLUSION

Spin all you want, Russ... Ya'all's Russia Collusion delusion was a HUGE setback for ya'all's Trump/America hate agenda..

While Trump believed he could commit crimes in front of the camera and he would be untouchable… clearly his desperate desire to remain in office at any cost stems from the growing likelihood of his impending indictment and incarceration.

Ya'all have been saying that for over SIX YEARS!!!

And ya'all have ***ALWAYS*** been wrong..

WHY do you believe that THIS time will be the charm??

Yea... Like ya'all's Russia Collusion delusion?? :D

Remind me again... How did that werk out for ya'all again?? :D

You mean how Mueller’s Investigation found at least 10 times that Trump obstructed Justice but was prevented from actually looking into any of Trump’s dealing with Russia after FBI Acting Director Rosenstein ended the agency’s counterintelligence investigation without explanation?

It’s a little early to say how that worked out until the counterintelligence investigation is actually completed. Yeah, President Trump was without a doubt the biggest intelligence threat and the most compromised American President to ever hold office… and that’s based solely on all of the things that Trump did in broad daylight! All of the secret talks between Trump and Russia — Trump’s subservience to Putin and general groveling at Putin’s every word — there’s a lot to go after Trump for. But don’t kid yourself into thinking Trump is going to get to keep avoiding being investigated like he did while in office!

While Trump believed he could commit crimes in front of the camera and he would be untouchable… clearly his desperate desire to remain in office at any cost stems from the growing likelihood of his impending indictment and incarceration.

I get and answer SO many questions..

Could you be more specific...

Abortions in Texas fell 60% in 1st month under new limits

The nearly 2,200 abortions reported by Texas providers in September came after a new law took effect that bans the procedure once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy and without exceptions in cases of rape or incest. The figures were released this month by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Lovin' it...

Snopes, a liberal fact-checking site, was mocked by critics this week for rating reporting on the Biden administration's alleged funding of crack pipe distribution to drug users as "mostly false," while also admitting that "safer smoking kits" were required to be distributed as part of a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grant.

In a Tuesday piece claiming news reports "grossly misrepresented" details about the substance abuse harm reduction program, Snopes stuck with its "mostly false" rating by arguing it was inaccurate to say that the distribution of the "smoking kits" was intended to "advance racial equity," but admitted that the pipes would be distributed with race as "a secondary consideration."

What the Truckers Want

Your Left Wing media is LYING to you, Liz about the Canadian Freedom Convoy...

Apparently, ONLY Fox News will carry an INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT of the REALITY and the FACTS of the Canadian Freedom Convoy...

It’s most likely because the DOJ is treating the Trumpster like they would a terrorist organization or an organized crime boss — they will have everything prepared in order to take all involved down at once.

Yea... Like ya'all's Russia Collusion delusion?? :D

Remind me again... How did that werk out for ya'all again?? :D

I'll forgo the mocking laugh.. I am in a giving mood right now.. :D

And I have to think that the destruction of archival records might be for Trump what tax evasion was to Al Capone.

Of course you HAVE to think that.. Because the alternative.... The REALITY is the idea that ya'all Trump/America haters are simply throwing whatever shit you can on the wall and hope something sticks..

"I am terribly sorry about all this. This was supposed to be very simple, but you know if you give food to monkeys, they just throw their shit at each other."
-Pagan Min, FAR CRY 4

:D

Just the thought that it may be Trump’s little habit of throwing tantrums and ripping up documents that he feels are “mean and nasty” to him puts a smile on my face.

Yea, I feel the same way about Pelosi's tantrum of ripping up President Trump's SOTU address.. :D

I suppose I am pretty cynical about the motovations of the majority who choose politics as a career, but I'm backed up by the fact that there are damn few examples to the contrary.

With great age comes great wisdom.. :D

But it constitutes a major problem for your advocacy program to ever become real. I'd be all in favor of implementing your idea, if it had the slightest chance of ever happening, but it doesn't.

Perhaps what you need is dash MORE cynicism/realism!

Personally, I am of the opinion that, when dealing in politics, one can NEVER have too much cynicism/realism.. :D

Whether citizen choose to vote for big money candidates because they have been duped or because they want to they are still voting for autocracy.

In YOUR opinion.. THEY may feel differently..

And they have the right to feel, AND VOTE, any way they wish..

Certainly those that want autocracy have the right to vote for it, but that does not mean that those that citizens that do not want autocracy have not been duped when they vote for autocracy.

Do you have any facts that support your claim that these people have been duped??

Maybe they are as smart as you and know all the facts and WANT to vote for big money..

As 80% of citizens want the big money out of politics it stands to reason that they are more likely to be in the duped category if they vote for big money candidates and by doing so vote for autocracy.

You know how polls are.. You can find a poll to support any claim you like.. It simply depends on how they questions are asked..

Let me give you an example..

Big Money is responsible for all the pain and misery in this country.. Do you support big money in politics???

OF COURSE you are going to get poll numbers in favor of your agenda..

Pointing out to people they have been duped is not giving them shit about it. It is pointing out their mistake and suggesting that they choose to vote for small donor candidates is offering them a better alternative to fighting autocracy than voting to keep autocracy in perpetuity.

Suggest away...

But you MUST recognize A> the possibility that voters are as smart as you and B> have the RIGHT to vote for autocracy in perpetuity if they so choose..

In other words, voters have the RIGHT to tell you what you can do with your suggestion..

An example of you demanding proof of common knowledge is in the comment thread from a day to two ago when you demanded proof that both Deathocrats and Republikillers took big money and that taking big money meant they work for the big money interests.

Not factually accurate... Taking big money DOESN'T always mean working for big money interests..

You have to provide FACTS that prove causation..

Correlation alone does not prove causation...

So your better idea to fight autocracy is to let those duping people to continue to do it while people like me remain silent about the deception because pointing out they have been deceived is giving them shit?

No.. My better idea is to acknowledge the FACT that people have a right to vote in a manner that YOU believe is detrimental to their interests..

Leading a horse to water.. CAN'T make 'im drink..

Ringing any bells???

Isn't one of the basic principles of democracy that we all have the right to offer citizens a choice, information and opinions on the choices so voters can decide how they want to vote?

Abso-fraking-loutly..

And, when they choose to vote in a manner you think is stoopid or moronic, you have every right to point it out to them..

But what is simply undeniable is you must acknowledge THEIR right to vote as they choose..

Your answer to the question asking for a better idea seems to be more of a dodge than an idea.

I have so many ideas.. Can you be more specific...

Someday some reporter will uncover the truth about the Biden administration mollycoddling the prior administration. How can it be that no one from that criminal conspiracy otherwise known as the Trump administration is in jail??

It’s most likely because the DOJ is treating the Trumpster like they would a terrorist organization or an organized crime boss — they will have everything prepared in order to take all involved down at once.

And I have to think that the destruction of archival records might be for Trump what tax evasion was to Al Capone. Trump’s staff’s attempts to tape presidential documents back together provide all of the hard evidence needed to show his criminal intent. Trump was told multiple times that he could not destroy records; but he chose to ignore the law. The National Archives documented it all for the DOJ! Just the thought that it may be Trump’s little habit of throwing tantrums and ripping up documents that he feels are “mean and nasty” to him puts a smile on my face.

I suppose I am pretty cynical about the motovations of the majority who choose politics as a career, but I'm backed up by the fact that there are damn few examples to the contrary.

But it constitutes a major problem for your advocacy program to ever become real. I'd be all in favor of implementing your idea, if it had the slightest chance of ever happening, but it doesn't.

Perhaps what you need is dash MORE cynicism/realism!

And the voters get to speak again in 2022.

Yes they do... Now yer getting it..

If they tell the politicians that they want autocracy by voting for big money candidates because they have been duped into believing they have no other choice they will get autocracy in perpetuity.

OR...

Or they are voting for big money candidates because that's what they WANT to do.. And it is their RIGHT to want that..

"We can't simply discard a possibility because we don't happen to like it."
-Martin Sheen, THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

Unless you have a better idea than using the basic principles of democracy to fight autocracy.

The VERY basic principle of Democracy is to allow the people to vote and don't give them shit about it.. :D

Yet you demand proof of common knowledge when you don't like or agree with it.

For example.....?????

Stuffs gettin' wild in the congressional cafeteria.

It's like demanding proof that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west..

It's such common knowledge that no proof is required..

:D

Maybe... Maybe not..

But they are entertaining... :D

The way to prevent autocracy is to use the basic principles of democracy to elect small donor politicians that will have no problem throwing their predecessors in jail because they are not likely to emulate the behavior of their big money predecessors.

It's the voters who decide if they want to vote for big money donors or small money donors..

The voters have spoken...

The records that SF Bear is pointing at were ALSO copies..

The reality is that SF Bear doesn't really care about destroying records.. He's just casting about for another club with which to beat President Trump over the head with..

PTDS President Trump Derangement Syndrome...

Because the criminal conspiracy that is the Trump Administration only exists in your head..

And in the heads of other Trump/America haters...

Just like we can't prevent racism with more racism..

what pelosi tore was a copy, not an original. and yes, that's VERY different.

JL

What about Pelosi destroying records when she tore up President Trump's SOTU speech??

"Oh.. Well, that's different..."

:eyeroll:

political crimes are different, and must be approached more cautiously, lest all politicians endeavor to throw their opponents in jail. we don't prevent autocracy with more autocracy.

Won't THAT be a hoot!!! :D

The DHS has distributed a bulletin to law enforcement agencies warning that a convoy of protesting truckers will potentially begin in California as early as mid-February and arrive in D.C. as late as mid-March. Truckers from Canada may potentially join the convoy as it travels eastward, the DHS warned.

Yunno... If you stop and think about it, the Freedom Convoys are simply giving the people a taste of what it's like to live under a system where personal freedoms are not available..

End the mandates... End the protests...

How simple can it be???

It's already been PROVEN by REAL science that mandates not only don't help a pandemic, they actively hurt the people and economies that mandates are imposed on...

End the mandates... End the protests.. EVERYONE wins...

But, by definition, most protests ARE illegal..

Legality has never been a proper litmus test for legitimate protests..

At least, not with Democrat/Left Wing protests...

Actually, all of that is factually not accurate..

There is NO VIOLENCE in these Trucker protests except the violence of government officials..

As such it is a perfectly legal and ethically justified protest..

As to not having a reason??

Shirley, you jest.. :D

These pandemic mandates are totally against the REAL science...

End the mandates... End the protests.. Easy peezy lemon squeezy :D

I would ask you to compare and contrast the legitimate protests of the Canadian Truckers to the utter violence and complete disregard for human life of twenty two years (collectively) of Democrat BLM and AntiFa "mostly peaceful" protests...

At least EIGHT COPS were killed by Democrat BLM protesters..

To date, NO ONE has been killed in the Canadian Trucker protests..

That alone right there should tell you the legitimacy of the Canadian Trucker protests vs Democrat BLM violent protests..

Glad to see you.. I was getting worried..

The protesting truckers in Canada and their supporters say they are fighting for our freedom.

Well, number one, they don't know the first thing about how to protest successfully and legally. And, number two, they are only proving how selfish they are as they are depriving many Canadians of their freedom to live in peace, of their freedom to go to work and earn a living.

The protesting truckers who are blocking the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor and Detroit are showing how much they DON'T care about freedom and just how stupid people can be.

The protesting truckers don't care about people. They care only about themselves and they aren't even doing a good job of that!

The protesting truckers don't care about front line workers, healthcare workers and first responders who put their lives on the line everyday for us, especially during a pandemic where unvaccinated people are filling ICUs and dying.

These protesting truckers don't speak for 90 percent of Canadians who are at least partially vaccinated and 80 percent of Canadians who are fully vaccinated and over 50 oercent of Canadians who have had a third shot during the Omicron wave.

What the protesting truckers are doing in Canada is nothing short of disgusting and criminal and their asinine behavior should not be tolerated.

DHS tracking reports of potential truck convoy in America amid Canada trucker protests

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is aiming to get ahead of a planned demonstration in America, "tracking reports of a potential convoy" amid several Canadian truck protests against COVID mandates.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dis-tracking-reports-of-potential-convoy-in-america

Again, all these positive (for country) and negative (for Democrat Party) are coming at the BEST possible time (for country) and WORST possible time for the Democrat Party..

It's a drip-drip-drip as Democrats' chances in the mid-terms drop lower (drip) and lower (drip) and lower (drip).. :D

Abrupt end to mask mandates reflects a shifting political landscape

State officials say the decisions are driven by data showing that the worst of the omicron surge has passed, but acknowledge they must also weigh a weary public’s tolerance for pandemic life. Even as the Biden administration continues to recommend mask requirements, many of the biggest states led by Democrats are abruptly taking a different tack.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/abrupt-end-to-mask-mandates-reflects-a-shifting-political-landscape/ar-AATFDMr?ocid=uxbndlbing

Of course, that's what State officials SAY..

But the fact is, Democrats are desperate.. They KNOW they are going to get creamed in the coming mid-terms...

So, they are pulling out all the stops to get on the good side of the voters..

This means eliminating COVID restrictions..

Which proves factual what I have always maintained..

COVID is a *POLITICAL* pandemic that has very little to do with real science...

And NOW... With a noted selection from Weigantia's™ ONLY OFFICIAL POLLS SOURCE...

For the first time since taking office, Biden's approval rating — based on an accumulation of polling data — fell below 40%. A Real Clear Politics average of all the most recent national surveys measuring Biden’s standing put the president’s approval at 39% and his disapproval at 54%.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html

President Trump's job approval was TWO POINTS hire than Biden's at the same point in President Trump's administration.

:D

Get that, people?? President Trump's APPROVAL NUMBERS were **HIGHER** than Biden's!!!!!!

Who could have *POSSIBLY* predicted this!!

Oh... Wait.... :D

The ONLY question that remains today is... How low will Biden go?? :D

"NEWS: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Are Necessities in U.S. Military," the Department of Defense posted Wednesday along with an article outlining the many ways the military is pushing for diversity in its ranks and says that the "need for diversity, equity and inclusion to be a consideration or a part of all decisions in the military."

There is only ONE consideration that the US Military should make..

Defeating the enemy.. Decimating the enemy.. DESTROYING the enemy..

THAT is the ONLY thing that should guide decisions in the US Military..

Would those who claimed to have worn the uniform agree or disagree with that statement???

{{ccchhhhiiirrrrrpppp}}{{cccchhhhiiiirrrrpppp}}

Yea.. That's what I figger...

For the first time since taking office, Biden's approval rating — based on an accumulation of polling data — fell below 40%. A Real Clear Politics average of all the most recent national surveys measuring Biden’s standing put the president’s approval at 39% and his disapproval at 54%.

Remember about a month or so ago, I said that Biden's approval numbers would continue to plummet??

Guess who called it dead on ballz accurate AGAIN!!! :D

You'd all be better served to observe Canadian practices, which by multiple factors, is far superior.

All political adventures are publicly financed... It's a matter of record that spending cash wins sweet fuck-nothing in the US political zeitgeist.

Politicians need universal oversight by others other than themselves or their appointed-for-life hookers.
