Hey, Joshua, not sure where all that came from!

I'm not dissatisfied with the tone directed at me nor do I think there has been anything wrong with the tone coming from me. I just don't think many of the regulars around here are ready to stop the childish name-calling.

As for dramatic exits, I've never been into that sort of thing. No, I'm just not going to be very active in the comments sections now that Biden is on his way out of the picture - he was my primary raison d'etre for being here, you know. I'll still be lurking around and making the odd comment here and there ... so, be good! :)

I guess it's true....

The Left can't meme!!! :D

And yet, Harris, Biden and the Democrats want to bind Israel...

Where is the logic in that???

President Biden's sweeping SCOTUS proposal stands little chance of clearing significant hurdles in a divided Congress

Even Schumer is not going to help Biden destroy the country by destroying the SCOTUS...

There is not a snowballs chance in hell of Biden's SCOTUS attacks will work...

Donald... well, I don't approve of his methods, but i'm not concerned that he might throw our Israeli allies under the bus.

EXACTLY... I mean, if someone was going to be a ONE ISSUE voter, I would think that the very survival of Israel would be that ONE ISSUE...

wherever you're quoting on the topic doesn't make a whole lot of sense. as far as I know, Kamala hasn't staked a public position yet, beyond supporting the Biden administration's policy. does your source have additional verified information, or are they just speculating?

Harris' public position is clear.. Ironically enough, it's the same public position as HAMAS... Hamas and Harris wants to end the war in Israel with Hamas' fighting capability as intact as possible..

Israel wants to DESTROY Hamas... PERMANENTLY...

THAT is the goal that every patriotic American should also want..

Wouldn't you agree???

you're not a helpless victim in the process. if you're dissatisfied with the tone of the discussion directed toward you, you can change the tone of the discussion coming from you. no dramatic exit required.

That's the lesson I have learned.. :D

It's a glittering generality, the propaganda strategy most favored by a certain former governor of Alaska. lots of lofty end-goals, not word one about process or logistics.

Which, ironically enough, has been a LOT of the Democrat process the last 3 years... A lot of glittery generalities, lot of hoopla propaganda but not a word on how...

Much like Biden's latest SCOTUS announcement, eh?? :D

Rachel Maddow points out there are fully seventy election denialists holding office in six swing states. Some have already refused to certify recent election results.

You mean election denialist like Hillary Clinton and all of you who were taken in by the Russia Collusion Delusion??

THAT kind of denialist?? :D

This means that even if Dems win the war, Repugs have it rigged to win the peace.

Nothing?? Nothing from anyone??? {{sssiiiigggghhhhhh}}

Looks like an opinion piece from the WSJ. Why Michale has become so feeble as to have lost the ability to attribute his quotes...who knows.

Personally I found Kamala's quote:

Israel has a right to defend itself, and how it does so matters," Harris told reporters Thursday. "It is time for this war to end. And end in a way that Israel is secure, all the hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can exercise their right to freedom, dignity and self-determination.

Quite good. Not specific policy but the tone I absolutely agree with, and I think a lot of America does too.

JL

Kamala may not.

This means that even if Dems win the war, Repugs have it rigged to win the peace. Or at least contest it maybe throw it to the state legislators blah blah blah we’ve seen it before. Trump is saying the quiet parts out loud.

Kamala Harris’s Gift to Hamas

By adopting the anti-Israel narrative, Ms. Harris is giving Hamas’s leader, Yahya Sinwar, every reason in the world to refuse a hostage deal. Why give Israel the hostages without ending the war if there is a possibility the 47th president will force Israel to end it anyway? “Let’s get the deal done so we can get a cease-fire to end the war,” Ms. Harris said Thursday, distancing the deal with her words.

Apparently, given all the facts, it's obvious that Harris is the candidate Hamas wants in office..

Funny how that is, eh. :eyeroll:

Then to other groups he spews crap like:

Listen, we don’t need votes,” Trump said. He added: “We don’t need votes. We have to stop — focus, don’t worry about votes.

And why should his followers not worry about the votes? Christians need to get out and vote so they never have to again but others need not worry about it? WTF. Either way it sounds like some seriously criminal shit, or he is a lot more demented than his handlers are letting on. Possibly both...

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe was directly involved in denying additional security resources and personnel, including counter snipers, to former President Trump’s rallies and events – despite repeated requests by the agents assigned to Trump’s detail in the two years leading up to his July 13 attempted assassination, according to several sources familiar with the decision-making.

Hmmmmm…

It's almost as if the USSS leadership didn't WANT President Trump to be fully predicted...

But.. THAT couldn't be the case....

Could it??

Constraining judges because of political disagreements makes country look like 'banana republic,' conservative activist says

Exactly...

It's exactly like pursuing a political rival for what are, in essence, jaywalking "crimes" solely for political reasons..

It's so typical of Democrats... Ignoring the long-term consequences SOLELY for a CHANCE (a SMALL chance) at a short term political gain..

Harry Reid did it with his killing of the judicial filibuster that directly lead to a 6-3 Conservative SCOTUS and Democrats tried to use lawfare persecutions to achieve a political end which forced the SCOTUS to codify ABSOLUTE presidential immunity..

And now Democrats are trying to start a war between the Executive branch and the Judicial branch..

Ya'all just HAVE to know where this is heading, right???

Ya'all just HAVE to realize how off the rails hysterical Democrats are, right??

I mean, seriously... Why don't Democrats just have President Trump killed and be done with it...

Oh wait.. They tried that. And missed...

Which simply proves the age old adage..

If you are going to try and kill the king, you better KILL the king..

What's your take on Presidential Immunity??

I mean, it's ALWAYS been the case that Presidents have complete criminal immunity from actions they take on behalf of the country.. It's always been understood and accepted..

It wasn't until Democrats forced the issue that it had to be codified..

But can you see how utterly unwieldy the presidency would be if the presidents had to worry about criminal charges after they leave office??

I am doing my part by ignoring the trolls who just want to fight and who never has anything worthwhile to actually contribute..

That actually gives me hope for this place.

You are very perceptive - most of that was aimed at you. I wish that it were not the case.

I've recently concluded that sort of thing isn't possible around here. :(

Not impossible. Just very VERY difficult.. :D All that needs to happen is that their be universal and consistent condemnation of those who would violate the ONLY ADULT AND CONSIDERATE DISCUSSIONS rule..

THAT has always been the stumbling block.. The consistency in the condemnations..

I am doing my part by ignoring the trolls who just want to fight and who never has anything worthwhile to actually contribute..

We build on that.. :D

Biden’s new Supreme Court reform proposals are mostly useless

But if you’re hoping these ideas will rein in a Court that’s essentially become the policymaking arm of the Republican Party, expect to be disappointed. Amending the Constitution is virtually impossible — it requires approval from three-quarters of the states — so Biden’s proposal to amend the Constitution to overturn the presidential immunity decision in Trump v. United States (2024) is almost certainly dead on arrival. Similarly, the term limits proposal is at odds with Article III of the Constitution, which provides that justices “shall hold their offices during good behaviour,” language that’s historically been understood to protect judges unless they engage in serious misconduct. So that proposal is equally dead.

This comes from uber Demcorat water carrier VOX.. Ya'all just HAVE to know that things must be really REALLY bad for Demcorats if they can't even keep their water carriers on board.. :D

i think that was aimed at me.

Just simple pure adult and considerate discussions...

I've recently concluded that sort of thing isn't possible around here. :(

I was just going to say something about juvenile name-calling. Heh. Glad I held off. Hehehehehehe

I'll make the same deal I always make you that the Trump/America hating Demcorats here ALWAYS seem to renege...

No name calling at all..

Just simple pure adult and considerate discussions like we used to have before President Trump wiped the floor with Hillary, every Demcorat lost their fraking minds and the trolls showed up...

You want to make it like it was before all that, I am game...

Just get everyone else to follow the same and we're off... :D

Glad to see ya... :D

Tell ya what, Demcorats…

You pass a law that severely punishes Congresscritters for making money from stocks that they get insider info on and forbids Congresscritters from have ANY stocks....

Pass THAT law and THEN we can talk about the SCOTUS...

Mmmmm 'kay???

They said he was entitled to just have them assassinated.

Not factually accurate...

Still, it's more of a response than I expected from any Democratic politician.

Still, it's more of a response than I expected from any Democratic politician.

Really?? You call wasting time on a wet dream a worthwhile response??

Granted, Basement Biden IS the lamest of lame ducks...

So, I guess it is to be expected, eh?? :D

BBBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Apologies, but that's REALLY funny.. :D

THAT's going to fly!! {/sarc}

President Joe Biden wrote a piece for the Washington Post

Who???

Oh yea... Basement Biden... The guy who President Trump beat down so badly that Basement Biden had to quit the race!!

I'm just saying... :D

. It feels like nothing more than political posturing, at this point.

Yep, that's EXACTLY what it is...

It's a doddering old senile dementia riddled fool DESPERATE to be relevant..

They'd insist that the branches of power were completely separate, therefore Congress couldn't force the Supreme Court to do anything. That seems the likeliest outcome, at any rate.

Again... EXACTLY factually accurate...

Can you imagine what that would do to our republic if the POTUS was stymied by fear of criminal prosecution??

Our republic would CEASE TO EXIST!!!...

No country has ever been saved by good men.. Because good men will not go to the lengths required.
-Horace Walpole

All of this BS is nothing but a Demcorat wet dream that has absolutely ZERO chance of actually happening..

Leave it to senile dementia-riddled Biden to waste time on nothing but a wet dream...
