Life has taught me that people rarely antagonize or pick a fight with somebody they expect will kick the living crap out of them. Somebody might demonstrate their principles and be bold and mouth off to a guy like Clarence Thomas but its doubtful they'd express the same in your face confrontation with the likes of MMA fighter Colin McGregor for example.

You need a majority vote in Congress along with 38 of 50 States to vote "yes" to removing the Electors wording from Article II, section 1 of the Constitution and looking at the map I don't think the votes are there. The initial purpose was to protect smaller population states against a plurality rule by the larger population states. That protection is as valid today as it was for the original 13 States of the Republic.

Yes, conservatives are slow but all the libs are totally grounded in reality. So please explain to us all how a man menstrates? Find one and show "him" to us.

Combating imaginary racism with actual racism??

Sounds like a great plan to achieve their goal of FUBARing all aspects of society. -
Twenty Years Ago Today--Iraq War Began
All_Pro_Bills replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Ironically, from 1980 to 1988, Washington sided with Iraq in their war with Iran. Then changed their minds to finished off Saddam in the 2nd rendition of the gulf war under Bush 2. Only to unleash Iran on the rest of the Middle East by removing their natural enemy from the region. Then turning our attention to contain Iran's regional ambitions and pursuit of nuclear weapons. All while getting regional "allies" to bulk up on US supplied weapons systems from corporate interests that hire lots of former government and military big-wigs playing some elaborate make-work whack-a-mole project. This war thing is quite a racket. -
The Babylon Bee, America's Newspaper
All_Pro_Bills replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
85% of Trump supporters polled believe the 3/21/23 call to action if Trump is indicted is an FBI trap. The other 15% are government agents and informants. -
I agree with your assessment of life but this is an attempt to dress up what is a campaign financing misdemeanor charge into some sort of state level felony charge. Its not going to stick to the wall. And while I generally hate the one person does it and gets away with it and another person does it and doesn't get away with it argument, I'll make my last post on the topic here to point out the Clinton campaign did the exact same thing when routing the Russian Dossier payment to Christopher Steele thru their law firm and FusionGPS and characterizing the payment a customary campaign expenditure. Misrepresenting a campaign expenditure. What they received was a FERC fine.

I'm 100% positive they would not be prosecuting this if he wasn't some perceived threat to the folks running the show. Its a Federal charge the DOJ decided not to pursue. But DA Bragg is attempting to contort the paying of funds into some violation of NYS law. George Washing University Law Professor Jonathan Turley said it best, that the DA’s case against Trump “is legally pathetic” and “is struggling to twist state laws to effectively prosecute a federal case long ago rejected by the Justice Department against Trump.” While Trump is clearly a far from perfect human being with questionable ethics, I cannot stop asking the question that if he's done so much bad stuff then why can't anyone produce credible and factual evidence of these transgressions that can pass the threshold of court admissibility in order to charge and convict him on something other than what is clearly trivial along with what I can only expect will be another nothing burger flop? You might classify his supporters as cultists but the true cultists are those obsessed with pursuing a political vendetta to punish the man for daring to beat the establishment chosen one in 2016. Its not about justice, its about revenge. And revenge can be a futile pursuit. Bragg should just move on to other things like all the shootings and other violent crime in NY and stop pandering to street criminals by treating them as victims while ignoring the real victims they prey upon. The biggest douche in this story is the DA.

Huge win for progressives!!!
All_Pro_Bills replied to Over 29 years of fanhood's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Could be but you'll never convince progressives of that argument because rejection of all reality is the core of their belief system. And if they were capable of critical thinking they wouldn't believe the gender identity hustle in the first place. -
I said it before, I'll say it again. The arguments used by these folks is consistent with the 1950's era white segregationists arguing their views on the principals and virtues of separate but equal. So take a good look at the 2020's faces of racism. Not some backwoods southern hicks but instead the educated intellectual class. Lots of PhD types spending 10 years is college learning how to be stupid.

Meanwhile, special interest groups like NOW claiming to represent women on issues such as equal pay and reproductive rights stand and applaud as men masquerading as women win awards during International Women's Month while the definition of a women is erased. -
You're just proving my point. The story says the Supreme Court vacated the conviction and DOJ declined to pursue the case. So, no harm, no foul. What about fast forwarding to the present to something like Biden's documented family run organized influence peddling operation with entities in places like China? Millions transferred to family members. In exchange for what exactly? That's the concern. Legal, illegal, that sounds like a national security issue. Something that requires investigation. The DOJ checking into it? Forget about that happening anytime soon. The potential for a sitting President to be compromised by payoffs from our #1 adversary. Not a peep about the situation in the media or Washington elites. The story just doesn't exist. You swap out Biden for Trump and I guarantee it's a 24/7 shitstorm. Impeachment, treason, article 25. The whole 9 yards. I'm not making any case for defending Trump but merely pointing out there's one set of rules for insiders and another set of rules for outsiders. Insiders get protection. Outsiders face prosecution. Tell me I'm wrong?

Many see a legal system that has been effectively weaponized by a political establishment clinging to power, while overseeing a controlled demolition of our country in every way possible, that prosecutes its enemies to fullest extent on even the most minor of offenses while allowing members of the political establishment to without exception skate on even the most egregious of offenses. Personally, I agree with this assessment, and try as I may, I cannot make any intelligent argument to the contrary given the circumstances. In this case making a $130,000 payment through an attorney instead of making it directly. Given the litany of things Trump has been accused of I personally find it comical that his enemies need to settle on something so trivial. if this fails what the next step? Checking into a couple unpaid parking tickets? Are they out to get him? They sure are and it can't be any more obvious.

I don't consider myself as a "righty", more a will of the people kind of guy. I'd say this Trump thing is pretty much consistent with Joe Biden raging away at MAGA extremists minus the Marine guards and red lighting. Although I've got to say these emotional rants on one side or the other turn me off. My dad used to say that when you make important decisions with your emotions, you'll more times than not end up regretting it. I've found that to be true. We need less ranting and name calling and more debate and discussion of facts and rational choices. I think that's something most of us here can rally around regardless of our views. Unfortunately, a lot of the political leadership avoids that kind of approach at all costs. I'd add my overall view of Trump is that his time has come and gone. And it would be best if he'd step aside and let somebody else take the lead.

The problem is these folks pushing all this crap don't eat their own cooking. So round up all the Greenies. Drop them off on some island. Then tell them "do what you say". Adopt your own proposals and make a go of it. And I'll be back in two years to check on how many of you are still alive. Good luck and otherwise F off.

I'd ask all the US Empire advocates and supporters to examine their belief in some core guiding principal of an altruistic moral and ethical duty of self-sacrifice to defend the weak and powerless from evil. I suggest that's nonsense. I suggest the Empire's intentions are defined purely from a perspective of self-interest. I suggest everything that comes out of Washington, including the unlimited funding and weapons flows to Ukraine is done from a perspective of self-interest. It's not out of love for Ukrainian sovereignty or democracy. I suggest the Empire's focus on self-interest is no different than the focus on self-interest of some America First philosophy some perceive as "isolationism". But self-interest and a what's in it for me attitude might be selfish, but it is hardly synonymous with isolationism. It's a methodology of assessing whether or not I want to get involved different from that used by the Washington Empire crowd. I suggest the only difference is the specific self-interests are different. I'd ask that posters consider the US empire has been in business for about 78 years since the end of WW2. Assuming the role of rule maker and relegating almost every other country coming along for the ride as a rule taker. Using enforcement mechanisms of political, social, economic, or military nature. Doing some things wrong but most things right during that time. American has accomplished many great things and its leadership has produced a prosperity never before seen on the Earth. But lately almost the entire focus is to hang on to power and stop anybody else from taking a seat at the big-boy's table. Nobody hangs on to power forever and Empires rise and fall. It's the cycle of history.

No, it hasn't ended yet. While you can claim this has weakened Russia, its clearly weakened America too, perhaps to a greater degree. The conflict has driven Russia into a growing alliance with China along with elevating China to the status of potential "peace broker". Xi is looking to arbitrate a peace deal between Zelensky and Putin, dangling significant promises of economic and political cooperation without the Americans at the table. Individual talks with each leader to be followed by a sit down of the parties. How big a kick in the balls would that be? We do all the heavy lifting and China swoops in to be the hero. Sanctions are ineffective and hurt the US consumer and business more than they did Russia. Add to that Saudi Arabia drifting closer to Russia/China. Inroads into Africa, Asia, and the Middle East by both countries. And unknown to most, China has entered deals and cooperative arrangements and integration with almost every country is South America. All while we're distracted here. Our influence and standing in the world isn't growing, its shrinking at a quick pace. As a nation we're weaker today and nobody seems to see it or care to do anything about it other than engage in military adventures. While that still sells among the ranks of the captive European leadership the remainder of the world is getting tired of this act. Almost everyone in any official capacity in Washington appears oblivious to the situation or has any answers other than conflict. Following the directives of their masters in endless wars establishment. The people in charge are fools and pointing out that truth is a greater act of patriotism than blindly following these idiots into the abyss. But that's where we're heading right now.

Europe is a big place. If conflict spreads let those governments vote to send their forces into the battle first. I think that's fair. In the case of Poland let them commit a couple 100 thousand troops, incur causalities, and then do a temperature check for their enthusiasm. For America, its a matter of priorities. Our government should worry less about the sovereignty of places like Poland and worry more about public safety in places like Portland. Representatives from both political parties sent to Washington that agree on nothing domestically are in almost complete lockstep when it comes to prosecuting all types of foreign military adventures. I'm hard-pressed to name one of these past interventions that could be called a qualified success. There's no reason to expect this will end any differently. Public support for unconditional escalation or direct involvement In Ukraine is in the minority yet Washington ignores the wishes of the people they claim to represent. Why are these representatives ignoring the desires of their citizens to proceed with caution and what other master do they serve? With that, its unacceptable for officials to demand our military personnel lay their lives on the line to engage and support conflict half-way around the world while they ignore problems in the hometowns, cities, and communities of these soldiers. And to make matters worse, President Nero fiddles away while his administration pursues and champions the implementation of social and economic policies that establish mediocrity as the new standard for American performance. A country so eager it seems to fight yet close to 3/4 of military eligible citizens cannot mentally or physically qualify for service. Add to this using political tests "weeding out" experienced enlisted personnel and officers from the forces. Hence the need to lower standards all around. If you wanted to weaken and emasculate America no foreign power engaging in some grand conspiracy could have a better plan than Biden's crew.

Not wrong until he bought a $20 million dollar estate on Martha's Vineyard that will be under water in just a few years because of climate change. Why didn't he listen to what Greta and Al Gore said and instead buy property in the Rockies well above rising sea levels? It's inconceivable the omnipotent ex-President could be a science denier!

From the reserve currency and trade settlement status of the US dollar transferred to the US after WW2. Its quite a racket and something that's been passed down from empire to empire. Previously held by Britain through the Pound. Its the privilege that lets our country and government run huge trade and budget deficits while exporting most of the consequences to the rest of the world. Its why other central banks hold treasuries and what creates a big demand for dollars. Without this status the ability to run these huge deficits wouldn't exist absent major currency debasement and inflation. The military's role in this is to act as an enforcement arm of last resort after political and economic methods fail to convince renegade countries to comply with the program. Like efforts to make arrangements to settle trade in local currencies. That's the biggest threat China and Russia and others pose to the US. Their plans and efforts to development and initiate alternative trade settlement and currency systems. Which lowers demand for dollars and as a result will see each unit of currency lose a good percentage of its purchasing power. Control the value of money and you control the value of everything. That's the game.

I'm familiar with the Putin quote, that the break up of the Soviet Union was the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.” Which many have translated into some strategic intent to reclaim dominion over those countries. I just don't see it. As it makes no sense to re-capture countries that would be a net drain on resources and funds. Why not let the Americans take care of them and drain their resources? Basically, Moscow offloaded a bunch of costly States to Washington to fund. Why would they want them back? Let the Americans support them, like we're doing now. While draining away funds diverted from our core national interests. We need to re-focus our resources on our core interests. Worrying about Poland and Ukraine. Not on that list.
