JB tells the story of a fight he got into at Notre Dame when he was a young guy. Hunchebacked fella and he liked the same girl, Joe took him out behind the abbey and worked him over real good.

At first I read that as 'degree milf'. I was thinking about asking them for a brochure, but it all sounds kinda boring without the milf part.

Ah, you're down with the drama. It all makes sense now.

I'll tell you this, most people love me in Eastern Ohio, and if I make you sick, maybe you don't have what it takes? The corrupt Biden DOJ tried to steamroll me but I only got stronger--I didn't get physically ill over that. I got shot and it didn't make me physically ill. I'm very popular there, actually, very big numbers out of Coshocton and Dover. Not Dover as in Delaware---they like Sleepy Joe over there, but he's retired now. I beat him badly in the debate--he was rambling like he didn't know what day it was--you may have heard, but after the debate he went home crying, so I call him Cryin Joe--actually Cryin Gina Joe.

I'm at about 10, though some are names I don't recognize anymore. My thought is that the negativity from another poster can drag me down, but I can work around that. Imo some posters are gigantic time wasters, and I can handle that as well. When a poster mixes negativity with time wasting, I occasionally remember to add them to ignore.

This really seems straightforward to me. If the director has a guaranteed term, he/she stays. If not, if the director has the support of the incoming President and can do the job, he/she stays. If not, the director should offer an action plan to win the support of the incoming President. If that fails, he/she should resign.

Fall of Singapore, 1942. Tibsy has determined that Trump was working with Hirohito. This explains @Tiberius absence from the board after the election…he’s been hard at work reviewing the microfiche to get in front of this breaking story.

I am willing to pay more for items, yes, if our current system of anarchy, strife, loss and pain is replaced by an orderly process that deals with legal immigration. I’m still surprised, frankly, that this position bothers you. You must really be bad with budgeting. No, it’s sad and tragic for so many people. Trump is dealing with a problem decades in the making, and the only reason the phrase “mass deportation” arises is because of the anarchy and chaos at the border. Solve the problem and the problem will be solved. Again, you’re part of the problem with your consumerism and constant need for cheaper goods.

But when taking things one at a time, shouldn’t you start at your beginning? What you wrote, the singular most important thing to you, according to you: Well thank goodness no one has "fixed" the "problem" at the border. Our economy is way better because of it. In the big picture, you’re not about the lives of illegal/legal immigrants, it’s about you and your double-quarter-pounder with cheese, two large fries and your large chocolate shake for as cheap as you can get it. There’s a better way, Tibs, but you have to see beyond the paper plate loaded with food in front of you, and the new android you feel you need so desperately. You don’t need it. Now that we’ve addressed that, yes, deportation is going to cause strain and angst. Many things in life do, and wanting everyone to have a safe place to land so the 4th 45” television you purchased is cheap cheap.

The problem is multi-faceted: It starts with a process that encourages individuals seeking a better way of life to risk their lives on a dangerous journey, where murder, assault, rape, death and victimization is common place. It seems clear to me that you don't care about those people, or perhaps you're comfortable with the price they pay so you can get cheaper Cheese Doodles at your local Walmart; It extends to this side of the border where a significant number people continue to be victimized, trafficked, and manipulated, though it apparently is acceptable to you because you save an extra 50 cents on the frozen pizza you get at the local Dollar General; It extends further to people in this country--some here legally, some not, and many citizens victimized by crime, though their suffering does allow you as a privileged American to get your fruit at a 10% discount; It goes further still with benefits funded with taxpayer money at the expense of other necessary and important social programs, but you make pretty good scratch so f*** everyone else, right Tibsy? It rewards business and individuals exploiting the system by paying people under the table, defrauding the taxpayer further, but I get that you like it's good for you and the price of peppers and onions; It seems to me that in the chaos of illegal immigration, we subsidize people/countries that don't have our best interest at heart. That's a bad idea. The US is indeed a country of immigrants, and a clean, neat, safe an orderly process should be our collective goal. I don't know why it isn't. That doesn't seem to be something you're interested in, but I understand you gotta take care of you first. You're the problem, Tibsy, not the solution.

JB's issues as a man are pretty well-documented, so I'll move past that. JB had a difficult life as an adult--losing his first wife and a child in a car crash, losing his adult son to cancer, HBs obvious addiction and downward spiral, the issues with his daughter if her diary is to be believed, and more. As a human being and father myself, I can appreciate on some level how difficult that all is on a person. That said--it's hard to imagine that many of HBs problems don't relate back to JB as a father. It strikes me as highly unlikely that JB wasn't aware of the many skeletons in Hunter's closet, and from where I'm sitting JB is a first class enabler. Even now, he portrays his son who made millions in a sweetheart job as a victim.

I don't like the rhetoric all that much, but that pales comparison to the abject failure to address the issues at the border by dems and republicans alike over the past several decades. Sadly, we're at a point where a firm hand has to be applied to fix the problem, and in doing so, it's almost certainly going to be ugly. Imo, the single best thing that can happen is if/when a person in authority obstructs lawful proceedings, he's placed in cuffs and taken to jail. I think your approach makes sense, if for no other reason than it has to start somewhere.

I couldn't tell you what the evidence supports, all I know is the Biden DOJ pursued him for certain crimes and his Dad had the juice to get him off. The nature of a blanket pardon for any/all activity seems extreme to the max, and is suggestive of concern on behalf of JB beyond that which was already adjudicated. I'm just a citizen, one of the majority who pushed back against a heavy-handed administration intent on using the law to take down a political rival. As for J6, I have no real argument with you there. My biggest issue stems from the relentless pursuit of people who were guilty of trespass or entering the building, and disproportionate/hyper-punitive sentences once they were found. Further, while I recognize that special rules likely apply to sacred areas inside the seat of power (and probably should), you can't read the news from trusted media source (Frankish Certified as Approved of course) where some person isn't wandering the street 20 minutes after being picked up for beating a shop-owner with a brick. Or, firebombing police cars. As for violent offenders, they should do the time associated with the crime.

Good stuff. The only case to be made is he was certain Hunter would be pardoned by his successor. When that changed, he moved to protect his son. Oh for goodness sake. What's the Frankish argument for giving him a 10 year hall pass when he's already shown a complete disregard for the law? Note--not the political argument, obviously Hunter was off the hook any way you sliced it. No need to get upset about it, Biden was simply playing the cards that Harris would be his successor. You're suggesting that if Hunter shared some of the classified documents with his Chinese counterparts in 2017, 2018, and 2022, he is deserving of a hall pass?

Right now, he's probably talking with his life coach about what went wrong and why. A lot of martial law seekers are actually quite introspective and just looking to grow. He'll learn from this.

Well hello, Rip Van Winkle! I was getting worried you got Blondestarred.

This is how this play out. You call me out, I stand my ground. Things take a dark turn. You say you’re going to kick my @ss. I tell you no, I’m going to kick yours. Neither of us really wants to take the first shot. You got some lower back noise. I’m tired because I have to get up every couple hours to use the bathroom. You say something like “Caveat Emptor” while pointing at your right hand, your fingernails immaculately trimmed with a high grade finish indicative of a visit to a nail salon. I yell back “ I NEVER HUMPED HER!”, your words garbled due to my age-related hearing loss. Meanwhile, @Irv strolls in, the lovely Miss Hoover—who likes men with old guy names like Herbert and likes ‘em a little crazy, immediately takes a shine to him when he looks and comments “Boomers brawling….what a mess.”. She’s smitten, he tells her he wants to head out for a beer and she’s buying. Googley-eyed, she goes with him. I can’t go through it again Frank. I won’t go through it again.

Thank you, Ten. I mentioned it to my wife to add to our list, she’ll ultimately let me know if I want to go there. 🤫

But perfect for the existing one!

First, the guy sounds like pardon material for any sitting US President. Listening to Chris Christie talk I literally thought he was talking about Hunter, the lap top, drugs and getting wit' his deceased brother's wife. Biden would have pardoned this cat in a heartbeat. As for Ms. Hoover, she apparently voted for Joe Biden, a guy accused of/who acknowledged groping multiple women, his #metoo partner who declared she felt he was guilty, who has deep family business ties to China, and who pardoned just the type of creep she was seemingly against. That's before we get to the deceit with his failing cognitive and/or parkinsons diagnosis (per dr feelgood fergie). We can appreciate her loveliness and professional skills, but I'm not sure I'm betting the farm on her decision-making.

Can Hunter be the front man to France while maintaining his role as Biden Family Emissary to China? Sounds like an embarrassment of riches.

You almost had me here, but "It may spell the end of his future political ambitions" was the giveaway, ya rascal. 🫡

The pardon process is one of those things that boils down to...it is what it is. 1/6 was a stain on the nation imo, and actions have consequences (admittedly less so for relatives of powerful politicians). Part of me understands that you have to bring the hammer down on an assault on the seat of power--and there was some of that to be sure-- and we also have to recognize that the laws dealing with that type of activity are likely quite different than those that deal with trespassing at the local 7/11. Still, it seems there was some justice meted out with an intent to destroy people v punish/rehabilitate. I also must shun you now for sending me that picture.

Good to have you on board, though it's kind of odd that it took this scenario--so incredibly predictable--to get you here. There's 5 decades of data on Biden's dishonest and sketchy behavior, and of all the things he's done, this is the most understandable. I really find it kind of hard to believe you (or anyone) really thought it was going any other way than as follows: Harris wins, she pardons HB, everything goes away; Trump wins, JB pardons him; As for 1/6 defendants, I'm torn on that. I'd hope that pardon(s) or commutation(s) are limited to those who were overcharged or treated unduly harshly (for example, one guy sentenced to three years in jail for trespass and smoking weed in one of the offices. For those that were violent, assaulted the police etc, they should do their time. Bottom line--what I would like to see is transparency on the Biden files. If there were crimes committed by family members, pursue them. If there was aberrant behavior that cannot be prosecuted, release the files documenting the behavior.

Oh, something most definitely went wrong.
