Poor John McCain, he's about to have his royal funeral upstaged.

[Rockstar]

Government-mandated Digital ID leads to social-credit “Neo-Feudalism.” Where the rich buy their way out of the rules the rest of us have to follow.

We’re seeing this already, where the rich and connected buy out of dysfunctional government: They have fully-funded private security, doctors on call, impressive piles of mansions, yachts, sports cars and private jets. All while lobbying for the rest of us to minimize our “carbon footprint.”

The worst victims are the most enthusiastic supporters. And the institutional left is doing everything possible to keep them blind and asleep.

Your side impeached Trump on the basis of somebody who claimed to have overheard somebody else who was eavesdropping on a telephone conversation.

Are you refering to the fact that one of the Wicked Witches of the West has died?

My side?
Let's see your side vote for impeachment and let's see if that gets any traction. They refuse to call for a vote because they know it will fail and then they'll have to shut up.

Oh c'mon quit pretending you aren't a dyed in the wool Democrat. You've consistently backed everything they do for as long as I've seen you post here. As for impeaching Crooked old Joe we'll see.


It's obvious that no way will a Democrat controlled Senate ever convict one of their own no matter what he's done.

So why don't the MAGA idiots in the house call for a vote and then start doing their jobs? They can't because they don't have any policy. All they have is empty whining.

As I understand it the MAGA idiots have called for impeachment several times. At least one has introduced articles, but McCarthy wants do to an inquiry first.

McCarthy is nobody and doesn't have the stones to face down MAGA. He lost his chance to make them irrelevant and take control of the House and instead called for the impeachment that will never get a floor vote as required. It's a case of pointing at the man and then trying to find a crime instead having a crime and pointing at the man. MAGA will get voted out.

Oh bull. Biden and his family have been selling influence and taking bribes for decades now and it's patently obvious to anyone who doesn't wear ideological blinders.

Out of the blue the Vice President of the United States threatens to withhold congressionally approved foreign aid funding in order to get some unknown foreign prosecutor fired.

Put aside the fact that the prosecutor was investigating his sons company and they paid that son a bus full of money for no apparent reason for a moment.

When has that ever happened before in the history of the United States? When has the executive branch ever demanded some random low level foreign officials removal like that?


Ideological blinders. You got them welded on my friend.

There's a nice list of things Trump has said he will do if elected again in this video. Mainstream media does not call him out for this, but they are in his social media posts and public speaking.

1. Arrest the homeless and send them to tent cities for rehabilitation.
Sounds like concentration camps for reeducation to me.

2. Shoot looters on sight.
No due process but likely martial law decrees.

3. Create ten "Freedom Cities" free from government oversight.
Sounds like new city states to me.

4. Shoot border crossers.

5. Have all Federal employees take a patriotism test and fire them if they fail, or refuse.

6. Appoint Federal judges in the vein of Clarence Thomas.

7. Have the DOJ subpoena DA's and terminate them if he doesn't like what they do.

8. Fire staff and eliminate college accreditation boards if he feels they are Marxist.

9. Seize college endowments and fine colleges millions if he thinks they are Marxist, or discriminate against white people.

10. Have the DOJ arrest General Mark Milley for treason.

11. End the Ukraine war in 24 hours. Basically, give Russia territory as if it's not their country.

12. Have school presidents elected annually by parents. No credentials needed.

13. Give drug dealers the death penalty.

14. Pardon J6 inmates and have the government apologize.

15. Bring back Tom Homan to run ICE. The guy responsible for separating kids from their parents at the border.

16. End DEI training in the military.

17. Terminate the Constitution if he thinks voter fraud occurred.

18. Eliminate early and absentee balloting.

19. Create a commission to investigate long term organ problems from vaccines.

20. End birthright citizenship.

21. Fire 40,000 civil servants and hire patriots loyal to him.

22. Form a commission to determine if genetically engineered marijuana is causing mass shootings.

There is very little on that list that any President could do by fiat. And if any of it was tried it would not get through the legal system. And I think you know that. When Trump says stupid things two different groups of people react but the result is the same. Sad.

I agree, but the fact that he even says these things is what matters to me and it should be pointed out to the general public just how unamerican and Fascist his views are.
