  1. He "toasts" himself. That's what empty chairs do.
  2. I think we all need to denounce Gary for his desire that RBG only stays cancer free for a limited time.
  3. Newsflash asswhole, Pence doesn't work at the Pentagon.
  4. You don't get that kind of pass. You're on record that you only want RBG to be cancer free for a limited time. You certainly are a low-life.
  5. No, you stupid ignorant ***** asswhole. This occurred once before, several years ago. You're a waste of oxygen in general and a pox on this forum.
  6. Well, you certainly split that article up to do your cherry picking. How about this part of the article: I always believed the line actually captured a larger truth about how he survived the impeachment 21 years ago. He believed—and many of his supporters believed with him—that many questions of right and wrong in politics are relative, not absolute. A charge of presidential misconduct can’t be divorced from context—between who is making the charge and what their motives are, between who stands to gain and who stands to lose. The Trump impeachment highlights how strongly the Clinton perspective has prevailed. Trump-backing conservatives are no longer absolutists on matters of ethics or law. Very few of my email correspondents are defending the merits of Trump’s attempt last summer to pressure Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the Bidens. Instead, they correctly note how many Democrats were pressing for impeachment before the Ukraine matter came up, some even before Trump was sworn in. (Likewise, some prominent Republicans in 2016 were vowing impeachment if Hillary Clinton was elected, because of her private email accounts as secretary of state.) One person wrote to tell me he hadn’t voted for Trump last time but probably will this time: “He's good enough, and he has delivered great benefit for our country. The real thing is that it's crystal clear that the motivations behind this impeachment are more corrupt than anything he's been accused of, let alone anything that's been proven that he's done.” Another: “It just seems really obvious to me that people who hate Trump and consider him an existential threat to their idea of what America should be think that anything is justifiable in getting him out of office. Impeachment is not about ‘saving the Republic’ it is about wounding a strong candidate going up against a field of tepid Democratic losers, rookies and has-beens.” I understand the perspective. It also seems obvious that if the political motivations of opponents matter more than the underlying conduct it is hard to imagine any behavior by a president from any party that could not be successfully defended. But let’s give the last word to a correspondent who didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, doesn’t expect to do so in 2020, and nonetheless is sickened by Democrats over impeachment. “You may find my position neither consistent nor logical but there it is,” the writer said. “Consistency is certainly an essential standard of logical argument but it is, in my opinion, very overvalued as a measure of judgment. We live in ‘scoundrel times’ and when both sides prove themselves to be scoundrels, you may be forced to ‘pick you poison.’” How’s that for an inspiring way to launch an election year?
  7. I knew that, just wondered why a person who was traveling outside his lane was being quoted.
  8. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/its-missiles-did-little-damage-but-iran-has-more-potent-weapons/ar-BBYLgnN?li=BBnb7Kz The latest cycle of attacks between the United States and Iran started with a rocket attack that killed an American contractor in Iraq. The United States retaliated with a strike on an Iranian-backed militia, beginning a cycle of escalation. WTF?
  9. With the unrest already present in Iran we need not get into an all out war with Iran if/when they attack us. We can eliminate their air defenses and missile sites without a lot of civilian deaths. If that doesn't change their activities then their navy could be destroyed. Last resort would be their oil production. Preferably not so that we could preserve a way for Iran's people to recover when they inevitably regain their country. Whatever they do to us we do much more to them. It's what they'll understand.
  10. Cancer free for now? Even those of us who don't agree with her politics hope she stays cancer free for as long as she lives. What ashithead you are.
  11. You never fail to be a complete ass, every single time.
  12. There's only one way to deal with the miscreants in the Middle East. Deal out of strength and don't negotiate any deals that can't be monitored completely and make sure there are steep penalties for any violations. The Muslim religion forgives lying to infidels so recognize that and be prepared to deal with it. Remember they only respect strength and aren't interested in listening to any James Taylor peace songs.
  13. If Kerry accidentally cut his finger he would be spilling Iranian blood.
  14. I saw a short video last night purportedly showing a missile being intercepted and blown up by our military. I could be wrong though and it was just something that happened on a Kentucky gun range.
  15. "Catamite" is the Greek translation of "Tiberius".
  16. Out of curiosity what current potential opponent would you vote for over Trump? I'm looking for someone that would keep the economy going strong, finishing up trade deals that most likely will extend beyond 2020, continue our improved border security while simultaneously working on the issues of the day. Who is out there who could be trusted to continue his agenda? Trump spoke to the nation shortly after blowing up the Iranian general and claimed in doing so he was preventing a war between the USA and Iran. A few days later it would appear that was exactly what he did.
  17. Usually I agree with you but this time you've gone too far. Claiming that Busey will ever see the light regarding anything is unwarranted speculation on your part.
