I think she's the dumbest, non convicted, public servant ever. There is nobody who thinks was was talking about the current administration in her book, which she now falsely claims. Nobody. She is one of a group of fools who served in Biden's group.

She is a complete moron. On her book tour, she is now claiming that her book, "Independent, A look inside a broken white house" is now about the Trump Admin. Total lie. She has no "inside look" at the Trump Admin.

See a pattern here? Obama selected Joe Biden. Dumber. Biden selected Kamala. Really dumb. Kamala selected Timmy. Really dumber. Seems like a pattern to me for the Dems. Select a running mate who is dumber than you beyond doubt. Late edit. I think Shapiro wasn't at all interested in hitching his wagon to her.

I haven't forgotten. Both were terrible choices. Neither was as bad as Timmy.

It appears that it is really important to you to label posters in an attempt to marginalize them. Forget about facts. Forget about the accuracy of claims here. It is simply about labeling. I would be happy if JD Vance replaced Trump tomorrow, and I can name a few others. But I am more pleased that we don't live under the lunacy of a brain dead president, or his beyond brain dead VP, nor the Gov of Minnesota, who is the biggest goof I have ever seen run for national office. That view, in no way, makes me "MAGA," nor have I ever voted that way.

From a huge amount of personal experience, their grass fed beef is very, very good. Recently, you could not be guaranteed it was grass fed, but the stuff that is is exceptional. Uruguay, on the other hand, always serves it.

More silly nonsense. You are like a random error generator gone wild. I never claimed I was independent. I claimed I never supported Trump.

It is an absolutely absurd argument to suggest that accepting private donations for a specific project is somehow not feeding the US citizenry. It is also short sighted to call Argentina "inconsequential." I have no view on the 20b sent their way, not as direct aid, but a currency transfer by the way, but that country has near infinite potential as an ally. and keeping them out of China's grasp is an important sidebar to this, and part of the goal. But it is a fool's errand to ever condemn one party or the other for a private donation project, when riders, often called earmarks, by the tens of thousands are added to US budget expenditures doing little but supporting pet projects of Congress people.

Most donations for specific purposes. The point is that it is not taxpayer money, and shouldn't be suggested that it is. That's not a judgement, that is just pointing out a fact, and it has nothing to do with any perceived political loyalty, which is often and erroneously done here when someone points out a simple fact.

You do realize, Homey, that this ballroom is being paid for from non gov., ie non taxpayer money, don't you? Private donations. Of course you don't know that.

Are you serious? This is what is in the Dem proposal. I don't need to to provide anything more than what is is the Dem riders. It's there, and you can deny reality forever. Not my job.

You are truly an idiot. You think I made this up? You think what I posted isn't true. You think the Speaker of the House makes this up? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/speaker-johnson-outlines-foreign-aid-spending-democrats-demand-be-restored-on-14th-day-of-government-shutdown/vi-AA1OtIOc

Really: Just health care for illegals? Here's what's in the Dem demand, and why the gov is shut down. 1.5 trillion dollars of additional spending. Removing a rule to keep illegal aliens off of taxpayer funded healthcare. 200 billion. Removing able bodied males with no dependents from drawing Medicaid. No work, not problem. We'll fund it. Permanent Covid era subsidies for healthcare without any income exclusions. 350 billion. We'll fund it. Take away 50 billion to support rural area hospitals. 500 million for grossly partisan "news outlets." They want to refund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. 5 billion dollars of US taxpayer money for "international projects," including: 24.6 million for "climate resilience" in Honduras. 13.4 million for "civic engagement" in Zimbabwe. 3.4 million for LGBGQ for "democracy grants" in the Balkans. 2.9 million for "desert locust risk reduction" in the horn of Africa. 2 million for "organizing for feminist democratic principles" in Africa.

The Republican proposal contains no riders. Here is what is demanded by Dems in their proposal. 1.5 trillion dollars of additional spending. Removing a rule to keep illegal aliens off of taxpayer funded healthcare. 200 billion. Removing able bodied males with no dependents from drawing Medicaid. No work, not problem. We'll fund it. Permanent Covid era subsidies for healthcare without any income exclusions. 350 billion. We'll fund it. Take away 50 billion to support rural area hospitals. 500 million for grossly partisan "news outlets." They want to refund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. 5 billion dollars of US taxpayer money for "international projects," including: 24.6 million for climate resilience in Honduras. 13.4 million for "civic engagement in Zimbabwe. 3.4 million for LGBGQ for "democracy grants" in the Balkans. 2.9 million for "desert locust risk reduction in the horn of Africa. 2 million for "organizing for feminist democratic principles" in Africa. Ya. The Republicans shut it down.

I spent last weekend at a wedding in Minneapolis and ran around the city and environs for a couple days. The folks at the wedding had nothing good to say about the Gov.

Are you OK? I have never said anything about Trump here. You made personal accusations that are not supportable, in a subject you know nothing about, and you have run away when challenged. Give it up.

So you make the accusations, but won't take the bet, then post more nonsense. By the way, for your financial health, don't take it. You will lose. The Trump part of your post is stupid and wrong. Not worthy of comment, and has nothing to do with this issue. Point being, if you are going to accuse someone of being a liar here, you might want to be willing to back it up. You won't. You can't, and adding insult isn't going to help.

Vacuous would be appropriate.

If you, or anybody else visits the Monticello Appellation area, (Charlottesville), I'd be glad to host. Our region was named this year as the best wine region in the word by Wine Enthusiast. Monticello Appellation Petit Verdot is one of the five Bordeaux red grapes. It is usually blended into a weaker cabernet or other red to bolster, but recently has been successful as a stand alone varietal. This is the winery that buys my grapes. They are less than a half mile away and won a silver medal with my petit verdot at the Virginia Gov's cup in 21. https://www.chestnutoakvineyard.com/ Redhawk is on the other side of the Blue Ridge, quite a while distant.

Again, I can prove anything I have said, no matter your stupidity. By the way, did you actually read this post with it's gross grammatical and other errors? I'll challenge again. I never claimed to be a "wine maker." There is a name for that that escapes you. What I stated is that I grow commercial red Bordeaux grapes and sell the product, as well as the Navy pilot stuff. I'll challenge you again. If I can't prove what I said, $10,000 to your favorite charity. If I can, $1000 from you to mine. Put up or shut up.

The US has no need for Venezuelan oil. There is no leverage there.

I certainly wouldn't call it a war. If the US waged "war" against Venezuela, it would be far more dramatic.

What evidence supports a claim that we are "starting a war with Venezuela?"

Have her move to reds.

The last time he accused me of lying about this, I offered a bet and would donate thousands of dollars to the charity of his choice if I couldn't prove it. He never accepted that. He also accused me of lying about running a vineyard. The county that grants me a property tax break for agricultural use of my property, as well as the winery I sell to, as well as the 2021 Virginia Governors Cup silver medal for my 2017 Petit Verdot would argue for me as well. But that's "his take."
