What will the establishment do? To start, the lefts favorite go to: he's putting people in danger of violence. He's endangering national security without going into any detail lest any methods and procedures get exposed. Cancel or eliminate any government contracts, subsidies, grants, or easements any of his companies receive including all surveillance work payments received by Twitter laundered through the income statement as "advertising revenue" (Google and Facebook get these too). Use the IRS and the SEC to investigate his financial statements and personal filings. Find a women or two from his past that will charge he sexually harassed them while having all the media vultures lined up to act. Say he's trans-phobic and anti-LGBTQ+ Sick the department of Labor, OSHA, and other agencies on his business ventures. Call him to testify at the 1/6 Committee even though he has/had nothing to do with any of it. The whopper of them all, he's helping Putin and/or he's an agent for a dangerous foreign government.

Whatever the truth about Walker is, we all know that if he was a Democrat, tweets like this would be censored and declared misinformation and the media would e circling the wagons to protect the candidate. You can't possibly disagree with that?

The difference is Biden has the political establishment and the media running interference and Trump doesn't. So you're not going to tune into ABC World News tonight and hear any story about Biden's CCP payoffs or incriminating evidence on Hunter's laptop being buried by the FBI but you will hear about Trump investigations by the NY AG. But the problem isn't about the merits or faults of either man. Its about how the system operates around them to benefit who it chooses to benefit and how it harms who it chooses to harm.

What's the fuss about funding? Just run a Ukrainian flag up the pole at the Stadium and the Biden folks will send the Bills and Erie county $10 billion for a new facility.

These tags and labels are meant to silence anyone dissenting with the establishment narrative all without requiring any logical defense of it. You disagree you're an enemy of freedom and democracy. You disagree you're sympathizing with the enemy. You disagree, you're not a patriot, you're a dangerous extremist. You're not allowed to criticize the government or any authority or offer any alternative views to what they're peddling. Just listen and obey. No matter how destructive or dangerous their agenda and actions might be to the country. Or what lies and falsehoods they tell. These modern liberals are posers. They traditionally claimed to fight for the little guy against the establishment and now they are the establishment. Name one official policy or initiative the self-proclaimed liberals on this board oppose. None. They're phonies too. In reality they're authoritarians and much closer to fascists then their simple minds can comprehend.

The governor's team is educating the public on the merits of "hitting the ground hard" as soon as gunfire breaks out rather than hesitating by observing the surroundings or taking pictures with their phones. Anyone familiar with combat zones knows that assuming a low, close to the ground profile provides a more difficult target. This ground breaking effort to empower the citizens of the city should cut the fatality rate and improve safety. And don't worry about helping the police identify suspects. Our DA will not prosecute them anyway.

Respectfully disagree. And based on our current trajectory the country will need a more centrist leader to get through the tough times ahead and not some polarizing figure on the left or right.

I think the issue all the politicians and experts on abortion dodge is at what point do they believe the unborn child is sentient and has rights to a life? 3 moths, 6 months, the day before birth? All they say is "I support a women's right to choose". Good for you and by the way so do I. Now define and articulate the rules and parameters that govern that "choice" and stop with all the election slogans.

I think you're over estimating the power Trump might wield as time passes and the 2024 primary season begins. The way I see it the shelf life on his act has expired and I don't see how he'll continue to hold influence over his base as more suitable candidates present their case for the nomination.

If Hunt can help convert those troublesome 3rd and 1 attempts vs. risking Allen on those plays its worth a look.

With this dysfunctional administration we don't need to worry about our enemies. Washington is doing a great job destroying the country and our international standing without any extra help. Its almost like they get together and brainstorm, "what's the worst and dumbest thing anyone can think of doing"? One of the imbeciles speaks and then the puppet master says, "great, let's do that"!

That's what it sounds like to you? You have absolutely 100% confidence the entire transfer process was performed at a level of perfection? Okay then, when I need somebody to lead a course on Six Sigma process improvement and execution that includes discussing concepts like conformance to specifications you'll be the first person I contact.

But until the geniuses in Biden administration decided to raise it to a direct "strategic", disrupt the balance of power that kept a relative peace, and commit to some $50B in aid to the effort there wasn't much impact. And anybody that professes the total innocence of any party involved in this conflict is oblivious to how real-life confrontations escalate.

And you have no proof everything is on the up-and-up either. That being equal, I throw more weight behind the opinion of somebody that has articulated a level of understanding and experience about the process than you have, which is apparently nothing.

The is a message board and not a court of law so what exactly is the burden of proof here? A poster, Sherpa, that has expressed views based on previous personal and professional experience that weapons transfers like those happening with Ukraine have a lot of security and handling gaps like chain of custody tracking if I might mention one. And that based on firsthand experience with such transfers its likely this applies to weapons and technology transfers here where some items might find there way into the black market. Add in a known high level of corruption in Ukraine and the US administration's effort to block all calls and efforts for oversight and accounting and I find there's a high probability that the conclusion is very plausible. Especially considering its run by an administration that had little to no concern about leaving some $60B of US weapons behind in Afghanistan for the Taliban. I suspect a lot of those weapons have ended up on the black market too as the regime there tries to raise some cash to meet expenses. I mean, as for "proof", do you expect somebody from the civilian US government or the Pentagon to confess and expose their incompetence and lack of accountability or some on-the-ball investigative reporter to expose the mess? Or Zelensky or some connected Ukrainian oligarch telling us he's made 100's of millions off US weapons transfers?

That assessment is pretty vague. Exactly what is nonsense? i think its more like truths that are inconvenient to your argument.

War kills people. If that's the measure of evil then how many people have been murdered in wars and interventions initiated by Washington over the past 20+ years? The truth is you won't accept Biden's Washington administration does not want peace. Their objective is to bog down Russia in a costly war of attrition against some proxy State, which is Ukraine. And they're willing to sacrifice as many Ukrainian troops and civilians as it takes. And fund the effort to infinity. If that's not evil then what is? Is Putin a bad guy? Sure he is. Nobody is arguing he's some sort of Saint. But him being a bad guy doesn't disqualify anyone else from being a bad guy here too. I'm sure my words will fall on deaf ears as we've gone some 244 pages of conversation and nothing anyone has said or anything that has transpired on the ground to this point has caused you to move one inch from your original position.

That's incorrect. Several sources have confirmed that Turkey hosted negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in April of 2022 where a deal was being crafted but then Boris Johnson was dispatched to Ukraine to inform Zelensky that no such arrangement was acceptable and the war would continue. So as to which involved party won't negotiate, you need to look towards Washington and London.

The problem with that argument is that appeasement or warfare are not the only options. The best option would be negotiating a mutually beneficial peace that addresses the needs and concerns of all parties.

The majority of Americans believe there should be limits on aid. And the issue doesn't poll well as a major concern for prospective voters in the mid-terms. Something like 5% of people polled think Ukraine is a major concern. But you disagree and apparently so does the administration. The problem is this conflict has consequences to the US and the world beyond the desire to support Ukraine and weaken Russia. Its has caused major issues in the energy and food markets. It has consequences for alliances and arrangements between the US and other countries by asking many to put their national interests at risk for no benefit to themselves. It has facilitated what might evolve into a global depression. When these consequences are weighed against the pursuit of the administration agenda a basic cost vs. benefit evaluation makes it clear the trouble is more than its worth. While you might be "all in" on committing an infinite amount of funding and resources for the war an overwhelming majority of Americans are not.

Not just sexually exploiting children. To add, exploiting other people's children. And also, while attempting to use the power of The State to pull it off. The only thing I dislike more then these predators and perverts are the ass holes in the court system and law enforcement that help them.

Tibs is saying we should have a policy of providing an unlimited amount of aid to Ukraine without regards for conditions or consequences or the impact on our national interests, budget, or other needs, and that anyone objecting to this policy or suggesting there should be clear objectives and goals tied to aid should be ostracized and labeled as an ally of Putin as no descent or debate about this can be tolerated by the establishment.

When it comes to women's "rights" issues they'll make waves when they're told to make waves. But when it comes to independently deciding to bump heads with the delusion of men pretending to be women or disadvantaging biological women in sporting events, organizations like NOW are AWOL. And as sowing the seeds of chaos appears to be the goal, attempting to make logical sense of it all and pointing out the inconsistencies and hypocrisies of it all is futile.

Before that comes putting a dress and lipstick on a Turkey for Thanksgiving. I'd pay to see some enlightened social justice dupe attempt that as those birds have sharp claws and a nasty streak. The Ministry of Truth will be issuing instructions on how to safely enjoy an alternative to a holiday that doesn't celebrate the oppressor. Also, the ministry of truth does not recognize Christmas because to do so would be to recognize the existence of an omnipotent God and there can be no more powerful institution than The State in their operating model.

You can never know for sure if the Durham investigation was some sort of misdirection play or a legitimate attempt to investigate actual events and potential misdeeds. As just a couple small fish have been tried and acquitted it appears to be nearing the end. That they never attempted to go after any of the "big" name players regardless of where the evidence pointed is telling. As they are part of the protected class in our two-tier justice system. Quite frankly, Durham knew they were off limits and going after them would have resulted in some official intervention in his investigation and most likely the end of his career. My suspicion all long is that like AG Barr, Durham was another Trojan Horse for the establishment and the investigation was never intended to lead to any convictions. Like the 1/6 committee, its purpose was to provide some drama and entertainment value.
