Here We Go Again
Hey, kiddies, it's time to play "shadow boxing with Joe Manchin" once again! Yes, his teasing game has begun anew, where Democrats get their hopes up that Senator Manchin will finally agree to pass something -- anything -- from President Joe Biden's agenda, in the hopes of counteracting the predicted coming "red wave" in November's midterm elections. Once again, Manchin is playing it coy, as he is "in negotiations" with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, but has not actually committed to much of anything. The deadline this time around is the end of July, right before all of Congress disappears into the summer breeze for an entire month. Of course, they're all still on their two-week July 4th vacation this week, so nothing will really happen until next week, which leaves a rather abbreviated window.
The game is the same as it has always been: Manchin acts like a little tease, continually getting everyone else's hopes up, but then at the last minute he manufactures a brand new reason why he can't support the deal he just spent many weeks/months negotiating -- and the whole thing falls apart. Manchin, in the meantime, gets all the Sunday morning political interviews he wants, and generally is the center of Washington's attention while the dance goes on.
To say this is frustrating to all the other Democrats is understating the matter, at this point. Which is why we went with "Here We Go Again" as a title, today. It feels like "fool me five or six times..." at this point, it really does.
As things stand, reportedly, Manchin is near to agreeing on two major parts of the budget reconciliation legislation: energy and healthcare. The Washington Post reports:
While top [Senator Joe] Manchin aides say they are far from a deal, some Democrats are still hoping to finalize a retooled climate proposal as soon as next week, when lawmakers are set to return from recess, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly. Already, party leaders have held advanced discussions with the West Virginian on spending to combat climate change, including how to curb emissions of methane, a potent planet-warming gas, the individuals said.
But, alas, Manchin's staff was quick to pour some cold water on such speculation:
"Suggestions that a reconciliation deal is close are false," said Sam Runyon, a spokesman for Manchin, in a statement. "Senator Manchin still has serious unresolved concerns and there is a lot of work to be done before it's conceivable that a deal can be reached he can sign onto."
Justin Goodman, a spokesman for [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer, said any mention of a final deal is "speculation," adding: "We continue to have productive conversations."
Two other items seem to have advanced as well: lowering prescription drug prices (an incredibly small-bore measure to do so, but still better than nothing), and shoring up the Medicare trust fund. The first, from an AP article:
Democrats this week also sent the parliamentarian a separate 190-page piece of the emerging Schumer-Manchin compromise aimed at lowering prescription drug costs of patients and the government. Provisions include requiring Medicare to negotiate drug prices, limiting beneficiaries' out-of-pocket costs to $2,000 annually and increasing federal subsidies for copays and premiums for some low-income people.
And the second, which actually has a method to pay for it:
At issue are growing fears that the health insurance program for elderly Americans could run out of money in 2028. While Medicare's financial outlook has improved recently, the program's trustees in recent months have issued dire warnings about the consequences of sustained congressional inaction.
In response, Democrats have drafted a new plan they hope to include in a broader economic spending deal. Party lawmakers specifically seek to impose taxes on high-earning Americans, who would have to pay a 3.8 percent tax if they own a kind of business called a pass-through, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the process. That aims to close what Democrats long have decried as a tax loophole and sustain Medicare's key trust fund until 2031.
All three of these things -- some action on climate and energy, cheaper drug prices, and shoring up Medicare -- are popular and would be good to accomplish. But there is a whole raft of other issues from the original Build Back Better bill that Manchin doesn't seem to be close to considering. Such as capping the price on insulin -- there are many other issues even within the subject of healthcare reform that haven't been addressed yet. The increased subsidies for Obamacare insurance policies are going to turn into a pumpkin at the end of this year, which means notices from people's insurance companies outlining next year's price hikes will probably go out right before the midterms -- which makes this a rather important political issue that needs fixing soon. Beyond healthcare and climate change/energy, there are a whole bunch of other good ideas that will probably not even make into anything Manchin gives the nod to. Currently, the reports just mention a few of these that might possibly see the light of day: reforming corporate taxes, changing tax laws to comply with Biden's international corporate tax idea, and perhaps giving the I.R.S. some more money to collect unpaid taxes. Those are all pretty small potatoes, but at least it's something.
One piece of this puzzle that no media stories (that I have yet seen) have mentioned is whether Senator Kyrsten Sinema is on board with any of it. Sinema is different than Manchin -- Manchin is most interested in protecting his home state's coal industry as much as possible, while Sinema is more widely concerned with the horrendously-high tax rates that the wealthiest taxpayers and largest corporations are somehow forced to endure. Sorry for getting snarky, but that is indeed her position -- none of the gigantic giveaways in the Trump tax cuts can ever be revoked. But for some reason, nobody's asked her about the tax proposals in any of this. Maybe she's just waiting her turn in the "make all the other Democrats' heads explode" tag-team match with Manchin? Who knows, at this point....
The most representative quote from the entire rest of the Democratic Party came in that first Washington Post article, and it is where we are going to end this today (so we don't get even snarkier about having to play Manchin's twisted game once again). Because, at this point, Ro Khanna is right:
The overall price tag of the climate and energy provisions in the spending bill could total around $300 billion to $350 billion, though the amount will change as negotiations continue. That pales in comparison with the $555 billion climate package in the earlier version of the bill that passed the House last year.
Manchin has argued that such spending could add to the national debt and worsen inflation as prices are skyrocketing. But the smaller amount on environmental programs may be difficult to accept for some liberal House lawmakers, who view the measure as their last chance to pass robust climate legislation before the midterm elections this fall, when Republicans could wrest control of Congress.
"I wanted more than $555 billion to meet the moment on climate," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), deputy whip of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said in an interview Thursday. "I was in meetings at the White House where I pushed for more."
However, Khanna said he would encourage fellow liberal House members to accept any climate deal that emerges in the Senate.
"The alternative is zero dollars," he said. "Significant investment is much better than zero."

Yep, effing Joe Manchin and Sinema. Death to these DINOs!
As annoying as he is, I have to feel sorry for @welcher.
Poor bastard gets up at 0400 #FloridaMan time ... walks the perimeter of his double-wide (because he lives in a trailer park and you know how crime is in these Repug strongholds) ... posts yards of crap ... and hasn't convinced any Weigantian about changing their opinion about anything since I've been here.
He must be paying big bucks to CW for the privilege of getting to Comment Spam.
It sure would suck to live that kind of life.
Russ,
This became an issue when he started announcing to the team that he would be leading a prayer after the game on the 50 yard line and that he had invited the opposing team to join them. The coach had been warned by the school district that he was not to lead a prayer service because there could be players who felt pressured to attend and participate.
This is just like your claim that the guy who got Hunter Biden's laptop was blind..
Complete and utter bullshit without a lick of facts..
So like you, Russ... Spewing a bunch of made up claims without ANY facts to back them up..
JL,
i go with "parent or guardian"
Unacceptable.. You must bow to the great Left Wing gods..
You MUST say "Birthing Parent" or else you will lose your job...
What do you do?? What DO you do... :D
JL,
no episode 10 spoilers please
I haven't watched the episode yet.. So, no spoilers..
Just what's already publicly available.. It's all in the email link I sent you... :D
JL,
florida is a closed primary state. are you saying unequivocally that if the '24 primary is close you will not switch your registration to Republican to select your favorite?
I will never switch my registration.. I am an NPA thru and thru...
I am not allowed to vote in ANY primary...
And that's just fine with me..
While I know it's not what you are advocating, personally I think it's dirty politics and dirty voting to switch registrations, solely for the purpose of sabotaging the other side..
keep in mind, trump and desantis will likely both be in the mix.
Naw, I don't think it likely... Either Governor DeSantis will bow out of the race if President Trump is running or, less likely, Governor DeSantis will accept President Trump's offer to run as President Trump's VP...
Again, speaking personally.. I will be disappointed if DeSantis doesn't fulfil his obligation to the State Of Florida...
Irregardless of all that, as things stand now, President Trump is going to be the next President Of The United States and he will have my vote...
As I predicted... All the hate and personal attacks come out *AFTER* I leave for the day... :eyeroll:
What a bunch of cowards...
Yep, effing Joe Manchin and Sinema. Death to these DINOs!
Advocating violence, MC???
Funny how when a Democrat advocates for violence, it's perfectly acceptable here in Weigantia... :eyeroll:
Once again, proof positive...
Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Democrat programming.. It's a feature..
It sure would suck to live that kind of life.
As opposed to YOUR kind of life, MC??
Getting stoned all day and then posting all night about me???
Yea... Yer livin' the dream, MC... :eyeroll:
:D
As things stand, reportedly, Manchin is near to agreeing on two major parts of the budget reconciliation legislation: energy and healthcare. The Washington Post reports:
And yet, your OWN link says
While top [Senator Joe] Manchin aides say they are far from a deal,
So, which is it?? Is Manchin NEAR to a deal or FAR from a deal?? :eyeroll:
So, the entire gist of the commentary is Democrats are sick of playing Manchin's game.
And yet, they STILL play it...
I dunno... From the outside looking in, that appears to say MORE about Democrats than it does about Manchin..
And what it says is nothing good... :^/
I'm just sayin'.... :D
CBP proposes discipline for Texas agents accused of 'whipping' Haitian migrants
Some top Democrats mistook the use of the border agents' reins by the to control their horses and said the Haitian migrants were being 'whipped'
https://www.foxnews.com/us/border-patrol-proposes-discipline-texas-agents-accused-whipping-haitian-migrants
Get this...
Democrats go bat shit hysterical crazy accusing Border Patrol agents of whipping illegal immigrants..
FACTS prove (as they are always wont to do) that Democrats are full of shit... There was no whipping involved..
But, to save face (what little face they have left to save) Democrats are STILL going to punish the BP agents ANYWAYS...
Democrats being thrown out of office simply cannot come soon enough!!
And now let's turn to the White House's newest Baghdad Bob, Jean Claude Damn...
Pure, unadulterated BULLSHIT is what spews out of Jean Claude Damn's mouth...
Inflation is the highest it's been since the Carter years...

I axe ya.... Could Democrats be ANYMORE delusional than they are right now??? :eyeroll:
Sad to hear that James Caan had passed away...

Of course, he is 1000% completely innocent...
But the facts look bad against him..
What a shame..
MC,
As annoying as he is, I have to feel sorry for @welcher.
Are you STILL whining about that..
I paid your wager...
I told you.. *I* am in complete control here.. You don't have ANY say in the matter whatsoever..
So, just get over it already... Yer simply embarrassing yourself...
:eyeroll:
Biden's economy is a flaming dumpster fire

And just think... There are actually Democrats out there who actually believe that Democrats will keep the House and the Senate!! :D
Mind-boggling... :D
Even China realizes what a moron Biden's Handlers have been.... :eyeroll:
The Democrat Party... Forever and for always, it will remain the Slave Owners Party... The KKK Party... The Jim Crow Party..

And, of course as I am wont to do.... Let's give equal time to LEFT Wing rags... :D
Now, ya'all pointed out that a lot of rotating staff and staff departures in the President Trump administration was a sign of incompetence..
So I am SUUURREEE ya'all will support the same claim about the Biden's Handlers administration..
Right??? :D
OK, OK... I'll help ya'all out with yer reply..
"Well...uh... er... Well, that's different!!"

There... Ya'all are covered, now.. :D
hhehehehehehehehehehe
"Top Democrats complain the President isn't acting with -- or perhaps is even capable of -- the urgency the moment demands.
"'Rudderless, aimless and hopeless' is how one member of Congress described the White House."
-CNN
OUCH.....
Yep... Democrat Left Wing rags piling on Democrats and showing the FACTS of this Biden's Handlers administration... :D
Aren't ya'all glad you have me around?? Without me here, ya'all wouldn't know ANYTHING about the facts.. :D
"In the view of many distraught Democrats, the country is facing a full-blown crisis on a range of fronts, and Biden seems unable or unwilling to respond with appropriate force,"
-Washington Post
"Democrats have grown increasingly frustrated at what they perceive has been the White House's lack of urgency on what some officials and voters feel are the defining issues of the moment,"
-Politico
All of those stories, perhaps not by accident, come as Biden's poll numbers continue to sink. A recent Monmouth University survey pegged his job approval rating among Americans at a meager 36%, the lowest point the poll had measured of his presidency.
-CNN
"Several officials say Biden's tendency to berate advisers when he's displeased with how a situation is being handled or when events go off poorly has trickled down the ranks in the West Wing, leaving several mid-level aides feeling blamed for failings despite lacking any real ability to influence the building's decision-making. That's contributed to some of the recent staff departures, according to people familiar."
-CNN
Left Wing rags all... And all pointing to the same facts..
The rats are leaving the sinking ship...
The ISS Biden's Handlers Administration is going down...
One really has to wonder how much worse it can get once the GOP owns the House & Senate..
I mean, if things are THIS bad when Democrats are firmly in control of the Executive and the Legislative...
Imagine how bad it's going to get with the GOP has firm control of the Legislative....
WOW...
And THIS is the guy you think stands a chance in a REAL and untainted election...????
REALLY!!??? :eyeroll:
I REALLY would like to hear ya'all's logic behind that claim.... I really would.. :D

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe assassinated during campaign speech, hospital officials confirm
The suspect reportedly told police that he was dissatisfied with former Prime Minister Abe and wanted to kill him

The EXACT reason why Democrats are going to be shellacked in November..
I just LOVE it when Democrats eat their own.. :D
It makes for a GREAT start to my Friday... :D
“If you are related to a Democratic fucking leader somewhere in this fucking country, can you reach out to them and tell them it’s fucking bad? It’s bad. It’s fucking bad!
Everything’s fine, gas prices are going up, buy an electric car. We’re trying to keep the goddamned lights on. We’re trying to fucking survive out here. We’ve been screaming at you for years, ‘It’s getting worse!’”
-Adam Pearlman, Democrat TikToker
And people wonder why Democrats are so bad off??
It's because they can't even take care of their own people...
Baby killing and gun control is not going to do dick for Democrats in November..
Not with poll numbers like that ^^^^ ....
It's NOT a messaging problem..
It's simply the fact that Americans simply don't like what Democrats are doing.. Or NOT doing...
It's that simple...
Democrats have complete control of the government and they can't do squat...
This is fact...
As for the Cardassian Show Trial that is the 6JC??
Less than 10% of Americans care about 6 Jan..
Democrat priorities are so far out of whack with normal sane every day Americans, it's pathetic...
There is simply no way that Democrats can keep the House and the Senate...

Controversy related to presidential electors not new to 2020 — but prosecution is
The Biden Department of Justice is criminally investigating the 2020 alternate electors effort.
https://justthenews.com/electorscontroversy
Issues with electors is nothing new.. Happens almost every election..
But NOW Democrats are hysterical about it.. :eyeroll:
Just Democrats and their hysterical PTDS...
Nothing ta see here....
in 1876 there was real and credible evidence of massive vote tampering, so alternate slates of electors made some backward sort of sense. In 2020 there was zero (zip, zilch, nada) evidence of vote tampering, and suggestions to the contrary were thrown out of court even by judges Donald himself appointed.
In 2020 the alternate electors were 1000% fraudulent. In two states the alternate slates gave themselves a legal out by including a clause that they were only there in case evidence of an erroneous result were found, but the rest made no such disclaimer.
That is felony fraud any way you slice it. Like Ashlee Babbitt, it's okay to sympathize with them personally, but the fraudulent electors knowingly broke the law, and must therefore suffer the consequences.
And Democrats are ONLY making a big deal NOW due to their PTDS....

"Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant.

You really are Don 2.0...
Posting misinformation and lies,
Nope.. Never have..
not backing up your accusations,
Unlike others, I ALWAYS back up my facts..
dehumanizing your opposition
I can't dehumanize them if they don't act like decent human beings.. They are dehumanizing themselves.
And that accusation is rich coming from a serial-killer like guy who dehumanizes babies to justify killing them..
now calling everyone cowards.
The facts hurt, eh?? :D
You really are Don 2.0...
If that was factually accurate then I would be banned..
The fact that I am not proves how utterly full of shit you are.. :D

Sad when one of our own LEO brethren goes bad... :(
Of course, he is 1000% completely innocent...
But the facts look bad against him..
What a shame..
I'm sorry, but this article was nothing but a hit job by the author. The full article originally came from the WAPO, Michale.
This man, who retired as a full time police officer two years ago, is charged with statutory rape charges. He traded blow jobs with someone who had lied about his age when he signed up for the gay "dating" app, Grindr. He claimed to be 18 so he could use the app, but in reality he was only 16. Old enough to drive a car and get married in FL, but not to have sex.
It doesn't matter if the underaged person lied about their age. It doesn't matter if they have a fake ID that says they are of legal age. It doesn't matter if they are the ones who initiate the sex, if you are caught having sex with them, you are going to go to jail. There is NO defense against the charges as the law is written.
We are so sexually repressed as a society in this country. We are stuck with Puritan beliefs that children are pure of heart and mind until they reach adulthood -- which we cannot even agree upon the age that occurs. Thus, we have legal adulthood being reached at different ages depending on where you are geographically. In some places you are an adult at 15, others it is 18. And except for the state of Louisiana, the rest of the country says your aren't "adult" enough to buy alcohol until you are freakin' 21.
I had a good friend in college who met a girl at a party and they went back to his dorm so he could lose his virginity (she was not a virgin, according to her own words.) The next day, her father shows up at the college searching for his precious daughter who turned out to be underage. She had a fake ID that she used to get into a bar, so my friend believed that she was over 21, but she was only 15. Luckily for my friend, his dorm mate was sick and was on the top bunk covered up and sleeping. He came forward and said that SHE kept waking him up with her screaming and ordering his roommate to perform various sexual acts for her. It was clear who the aggressor was in that encounter.
Luckily, her pastor father did not want it getting out what his daughter was doing in her free time, and realized it would be wrong to make my friend have to register as a sex offender for the rest of life because of his daughter's deception. That's the only way my friend avoided jail and being labeled a sex offender -- the victim recanted.
Laws with mandatory sentencing guidelines that do not allow the court to have any say in how it rules should be banned from our justice system.
Bashi,
now calling everyone cowards.
Just for the record..
Anyone who has to acquire a mob to harass an innocent man and his family on a night out for dinner.....
IS a coward...
Russ,
I'm sorry, but this article was nothing but a hit job by the author. The full article originally came from the WAPO, Michale.
What's your point??
On another note, I hope yer caught up on ST:SNW...
Cuz I am SURE I am going to have a LOT to talk about it tomorrow.. :D
Our system of so-called Justice, more like.
Nope.. Never have..
And you post a lie on the very next post. All your climate BS yesterday was proven BS...
Unlike others, I ALWAYS back up my facts..
And another one. Yesterday, same subject prefect example...
I can't dehumanize them if they don't act like decent human beings.. They are dehumanizing themselves.
And only you gets to define "decent"? Yawn.
The facts hurt, eh?? :D
Not particularly, even if they were facts, which they are not. But calling someone a coward here is a Don signature move...
And you post a lie on the very next post. All your climate BS yesterday was proven BS...
Not factually accurate...
And only you gets to define "decent"?
As it pertains to harassing innocent children and killing innocent babies...
There is only ONE definition for "decent"..
But calling someone a coward here is a Don signature move...
I have already proven that your DH comparison is bullshit..
{{yyyaaawwwwnnnnn}}
Yep.
Don 2.0, indeed. More sophisticated and meaner but ultimately just as delusional.
I can't be bothered anymore so I now scroll through all the comment spam.
Imagine how bad it's going to get with the GOP has firm control of the Legislative....
WHY? Surely you believe that the GOP in control of the Legislative will result in bills proposed that will fix all of the problems that the country is facing, right? They will create the legislation that Biden will sign into law and things will be great! NO?!?!
They will work to block everything Biden attempts to do to fix our country's problems? They will actively seek to make life as horrible as possible for their constituents prior to the 2024 elections to make voting for their candidate seem like the better option?
That you sit here and gloat about how horrible the GOP will make life in this country should they take both the House and the Senate is repugnant. You don't even attempt to hide your hatred for your fellow Americans.
Not factually accurate...
Another lie and repetitive, just like Don...
As it pertains to harassing innocent children and killing innocent babies...
Exactly, you have to dehumanize those who disagree with you. Thanks for proving one of my points...
I have already proven that your DH comparison is bullshit..
Calling others replies bullshit. Another Don signature move.
WHY? Surely you believe that the GOP in control of the Legislative will result in bills proposed that will fix all of the problems that the country is facing, right? They will create the legislation that Biden will sign into law and things will be great! NO?!?!
No... Because Biden's Handlers are too stoopid and hate America too much to do what's actually GOOD for the country..
On another note, I hope yer caught up on ST:SNW...
I watched it as soon as I got up. Gotta say that they really have thought this show out given the limitations that canon places on it. Smart, yet creative writing in each episode.
MC,
I can't be bothered anymore so I now scroll through all the comment spam.
In other words, you're stoned again and going back to "ignoring" me with dozens of comments on how you are "ignoring" me..
{{yaaaaaaawwwwnnnnnn}}
Calling others replies bullshit.
Just like you call my comments bullshit..
So, obviously, YOU are Don 2.0 :D
I watched it as soon as I got up. Gotta say that they really have thought this show out given the limitations that canon places on it. Smart, yet creative writing in each episode.
I gotta agree with you there...
With a couple of exceptions (predominant amongst those being M'Benga) they have played very well with canon..
I was sufficiently impressed...
Another lie and repetitive,
That's just the kind of response Don always gave..
Nice ta meetcha Don 2.0 :D
Isn't it funny how you talk about Don so much, Bashi..
You miss him?? :D
You miss Don so much, Bashi, you are commenting like he did..
I guess you DO admire Don so much you want to imitate him... :D
[47]
What's your point??
Well, you said:
[14]
Sad when one of our own LEO brethren goes bad... :(
Of course, he is 1000% completely innocent...
But the facts look bad against him..
Not sure where you believe he went "bad"?
Of course, the message boards show what the purpose was -- to paint the gay former officer as a sexual predator.
I said one of our own went bad because the facts, apparently, are against him..
I also said, as of this moment, he is 1000% innocent...
But the facts are pretty damning..
I would very much like to be proven wrong...
But it doesn't look like I will be...
Time will tell...
I think you are trying to make my comment into something it's not..
Given our history, it's understandable..
But it's not anything worth starting a flame war over..
Wouldn't you agree???
Just like you call my comments bullshit..
No, you have to complete the set.
You miss Don so much, Bashi, you are commenting like he did..
I guess you DO admire Don so much you want to imitate him... :D
More accusations without backing them up. Just like Don...
If you don't agree, you'll have to start it without me..
I dunno what it is, but I just can't seem to stay up past 1600hrs these days..
Maybe it's because it's easier to handle being alone if I sleep my way thru it..
When you have been together with someone for over 40 years, it throws everything out of whack when they're gone..
Anywho.. I'll catch ya'all in the morning..
More accusations without backing them up. Just like Don...
I already backed up my accusations.
Practically EVERY comment you made today mentions Don...
You REALLY must miss him bad... So much so, you are ACTING like him...
Ni Ni Bashi... I understand how you miss Don so much.. You two are sooo much alike...
I already backed up my accusations.
No links, no quotes. Not seeing any backing up. Whereas I posted the original text that definitively showed that your Hansen and Oppenheimer quotes were blatant misinformation.
Ah, well off to enjoy the weekend. Be a Don and call me a coward if you need to...
I said one of our own went bad because the facts, apparently, are against him..
How do the facts being against him in this case equate to him going "bad"?
The facts in this case are that the ex-cop is being punished because the person who he engaged in sexual acts with LIED to the ex-cop about his age!
Statutory charges do not allow for any defense against them.
It doesn't matter if you met the person on a dating app that requires users to be over the age of 18 to use it.
It does not matter that they contacted YOU first, and they were the aggressor throughout the encounter.
It doesn't matter if the person shows you their ID that says they are 21.
It doesn't matter if they show you a birth certificate that shows them to be 21.
It wouldn't matter if you had sworn affidavits from friends and employers that state the person is over 21.
Even if someone underage went to those great lengths to fool you into believing they were 21, the law requires you to have supernatural powers in determining that they are a minor. Despite all of the evidence supporting your belief that they were of legal age, the law says that it is apparently your fault for not being born psychic and as a result, you'll be going to prison and labeled a registered sex offender for the rest of your life! The 16 will not face any charges... they are the "victim".
I also said, as of this moment, he is 1000% innocent...
But the facts are pretty damning..
I would very much like to be proven wrong...
Gibberish. Of course he is "1000% innocent...as of this moment", that is how our justice system works.
The facts aren't "pretty damning"... they are bogus.
But it's not anything worth starting a flame war over..
WOW! Doesn't take you very long to immediately jump to that, does it? I am merely sharing a difference of opinion on this matter. It ain't personal. If you feel the need to start attacking me at this point... SAD!
Or better yet, maybe you want to go after my husband's career again by threatening to file a bogus police complaint against him??? Be sure to tell us ahead of time again about your criminal intent... the local prosecutors LOVED that!
Yep.
Real douchebaggy behavior.
Yawn.

This is just like your claim that the guy who got Hunter Biden's laptop was blind..
The "guy who got Hunter Biden's laptop" is still and definitely was legally blind when he received it and has stated that he can't testify whether it was actually Hunter Biden who dropped it off in 2019. If you're this uninformed about easily searchable facts regarding the subject matter that you yourself keeps whining about (usually off topic), then you need never wonder why people on this blog will refer to you as "Don Harris 2.0" since the original DH was frequently clueless about the facts regarding his very own rants.
Complete and utter bullshit without a lick of facts..
We definitely understand if Don Harris wasn't the only poster too ignorant to know the facts about the subject matter which he himself kept whining about. We all frequently had to school his ignorance regarding his lack of knowledge of his own infinitely whining agenda. We all could do that for you too in the same manner we did it for Daft Don.
We're generous that way.
So like you, Russ... Spewing a bunch of made up claims without ANY facts to back them up..
Russ is dead-on accurate about the facts of the case regarding the praying coach. Approximately 99% of ALL court cases are public record, including your own. Being that this particular legal issue regarding the praying coach was advanced all the way to the SCOTUS, the facts of the case are so easy to find that even a moron like Don Harris could do it. The least we could do is help you out like we helped out Don. Ya'all are so similar that it's hard to tell ya'all apart.

As I predicted... All the hate and personal attacks come out *AFTER* I leave for the day... :eyeroll:
If you had any ability whatsoever at self-introspection, you might recognize the hate coming from your own direction, but you don't so I'll help you out.
If your hatred had an aroma, it would be less like the wonderful aroma of a freshly baked pie and exactly like the fetid stench of rotting flesh.
What a bunch of cowards...
Not everyone is awake when you're busy smelling up the place. :)

Just for the record..
Anyone who has to acquire a mob to harass an innocent man and his family on a night out for dinner.....
IS a coward...
I will go you one better, Don Harris 2.0:
Anyone who in a premeditative manner conspires to assemble a mob and direct them toward the United States Capitol in order to interfere in the constitutionally mandated duties of Congress is a coward and a conspiratorial seditionist.

Just like you call my comments bullshit..
The vast majority of your comments are right-wing propaganda and utter asinine bullshit.
So, obviously, YOU are Don 2.0 :D
Sorry (not sorry) to have to be the one to break the news to you, but you don't get to decide who is Don Harris 2.0 because it's already been decided, and it's definitely you. Yep; you're him.
the only don harris is don harris, and he's not as interesting as pie.
Actually, the only don harris is actually Ron Harris... and he's still not as interesting as pie!

Thanks for the assist with that one. I've grown tired of constantly spelling out the details and actual FACTS of a story when I know that he knows that I am correct.
Just got over almost two weeks of the latest COVID-19 strain. Devon got it from the city manager, and passed it on to me. He was only sick for 3 days. I had it for 12 days. Body aches and high fever like nothing I have ever experienced before. Definitely want to avoid it.
Hope you are enjoying your summer. Love you to the moon and back!

Of course, Russ, you nailed the entire issue. Great post.
WOW! Doesn't take you very long to immediately jump to that, does it? I am merely sharing a difference of opinion on this matter. It ain't personal. If you feel the need to start attacking me at this point... SAD!
He is truly a Don Harris 2.0. I've already had the same argument where he accused me of wanting to start a "flame war" because I had a difference with him about one of his ignorant repetitive BS opinions. He naturally confused the difference of opinion with disrespect; that's his lazy "go to" move these days.
Or better yet, maybe you want to go after my husband's career again by threatening to file a bogus police complaint against him??? Be sure to tell us ahead of time again about your criminal intent... the local prosecutors LOVED that!
Right again, Russ, but his other new "go to" move is claiming that things never happened. Unfortunately for people like Don Harris 2.0 with "shit for brains" and "can't remember shit" disease, this forum is archived. So I'll save him the trouble of posting yet another lie claiming that something never happened when it's obviously archived for all posterity and where making that ignorant lying about it only proves he's a lying liar who even lies about lying:
*
Now I ask you, what kind of so-called LEO would actually confess his intent to file a police report on an actual police officer when he knew damn well that the information he would provide would be invented bullshit?
Love you, Russ. Stay safe. :)

Might you be giving him more credit that he deserves? He's proven beyond doubt that he knows very little about a whole lot. He's a right-wing prattling repetitive blowhard who cuts and pastes the work of others, slaps on the same repetitive insults and refers to that shit as "my posts." That is all he appears to actually know and as such you are very generous to believe he knows you are correct when he appears to know bupkis if it isn't part of the repetitive rube routine he performs here. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Just got over almost two weeks of the latest COVID-19 strain.
Oh, no, Russ; are you okay? Omicron BA.5 is surging right now.
Devon got it from the city manager, and passed it on to me. He was only sick for 3 days. I had it for 12 days.
Well, I know I don't have to tell you why it likely hit you harder... with your preexisting respiratory condition.
Body aches and high fever like nothing I have ever experienced before. Definitely want to avoid it.
I'm so sorry, Russ. Did you take Paxlovid? If you did, was it helpful?
Hope you are enjoying your summer.
Of course I am, but it's getting hotter by the day and feels like August in July. Right now, it is 106 degrees outside with a heat index of 111 degrees and feels like Arizona, but I have my pool and margaritas.
Love you to the moon and back!
Love you more, infinity! You keep me posted on how y'all are doing. Tell Devon somebody in Texas is thinking about you both, and y'all stay safe. That is an order. :)
Kick,
We are both pretty much recovered from the virus... save my taste buds still being a little wonky and making nothing taste good. I needed to lose about 30lbs, so maybe this will be the answer to that problem!
I did not take anything for it. The night when I finally said I needed to go see a doctor the next day, when I awoke I felt great and my symptoms were gone.
I'm really proud of my man... he's been made the "acting Chief of Police" after the Chief suddenly retired. It looks like he will be their next Chief, knock on wood... he has the union's backing and the Mayor's support.
You stay cool, darlin'! The heat is going to be terrible this summer... and summer JUST started! Big hugs to you, my sweet friend!

Awesome, Russ: ACOP!
So proud for Devon. Tell him he owes it all to his better half. Heh. :)
