Inflation is up, the dollar is down, the national debt is 34 T, military recruitment is down, the Fed doesn't know what to do with interest rates, the CBO is inept.
Of course Putin wants Biden over Trump, Biden is too predictable and Trump is unpredictable and a ton smarter than old poopy pants.
The judgement against Trump has insured that no honest man will ever enter politics. Would you, knowing that they would destroy you?
The only people who will now try are those who are willing to play along, to do what they are told. Only gangsters need apply.
Corruption is now the only path.

I am not of the opinion that any of the Supreme Court justices needed to recuse themselves from this Colorado ballot case that's just been decided, or from the presidential immunity case that the court has scheduled for hearings towards the end of April.

The Supreme Court will rule that there is no such thing as presidential immunity... though I expect them to narrow what it means with their decision. There should be some immunity as it applies to speech, and I think that can be addressed through the 1st Amendment. A president should not be held accountable for the things they say, unless under oath in a deposition or something to that effect... but they should be held accountable for the actions. There is no proof that i'm aware of that shows Trump had anything to do with Jan 6th.

You all know I despise Trump, but the 1-6 case seems to be the weakest against him.
Obviously Trump is responsible for the whole "stolen election" hoax, but it is a bit of a stretch to blame the criminal behavior of his most brainwashed followers on him.
The left depends on young people, illegals newcomers and people with damaged memories. That is to say, inexperienced people who have no knowledge of history.
With such a base, they can repeat the same lies over and over, and have enough people who will believe them. They can make infinite, impossible promises and by the time these people figure out they have been screwed, it is too late and there is a whole new crop of stooges about to hatch from the government incubators.
This is part of why they are so strongly opposed to charter schools, secure borders and mental health awareness.
Originally posted by cliffw: Shillary was also responsible for starting the idea that Obama was not born in America. During their [Democratic] primaries.
An idea which no one would even remember today, if the Obama-era incarnation of the rumpTM hadn't seized upon it and then pretended to be investigating it, as an act of shameless "rump-promotion," conceived for the purpose of elevating the "rump's" news profile.

With all that said....does that make it right that HRC lied about her opponent? Just because no one would remember it unless someone else made it an issue? Should it not have been an issue that a lie had been told by a prominent politician, falsely accusing a rival that they weren't who they claimed to be?
This is a good example of how "fact checkers" can muck stuff up.
But I find it kind of ironic that Trump was so easily influenced by Hillary Clinton. Apparently the only reason he thought Obama was born in Kenya was because Hillary's friend claimed it was true. Did not realize the Donald was such a gullible little sheep.

Neither Hillary nor her campaign ever made that false claim about President Obama. There are some allegations that she had her campaign investigate the issue, but she never publicly started or spread the rumor in any way.
The Left is now as desperate and dangerous as a wounded Rhinoceros. Keep your wits about you.
This is a really good analogy.
This is going to be super nerdy, but there was a computer game I played in the 80s and 90s... and there was one (Wing Commander IV) which was especially good. They had full motion video and had a lot of cut-scenes in between fights... you can see that here:
Probably my favorite character was played by Malcom McDowell. If you can get through the whole thing, he has several quotes from Sun Tzu's Art of War, and from other famous early American revolutionaries... like... "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance..."
But one of the comments he makes is, "Your enemy is most dangerous, when he's nearly defeated." The point being, you have no idea what they'll do, and they'll often go to any lengths to maintain power because they have literally everything to lose if they do not.
Obviously, I don't view Democrat voters as my enemy, I think they are largely misguided right now. But your comment made me think of this. Haha...
Keep in mind that the people who told us Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation,
the people who told us Joe Biden was highly capable,
are the same people who are telling us that elections are secure.
This is not true at all. The entire judicial system of the United States has told us that the 2020 election was secure. They have said nothing about Hunters laptop or Joe's mental state.
The people that told us that the elections were not secure are currently paying millions in dollars in damages because of the proof that they lied.
Just another attempt by the right to discredit the judicial system so that Trump can take complete control.
I agree that this seems an intellectually dishonest way to portray the findings about election security. We know the 2020 election was secure because it was tried and investigated over and over again, by states both Democratic and Republican, by the Justice Department, and by 'independent auditors.' No matter how hard anyone looked hoping to find an insecure election, there wasn't one to be found. That wasn't from some single source, it was from the near-exclusive preponderance of findings from a myriad of varied sources.
I'd also like to point out that both the Washington Post and New York times have been reporting since 2022 that messages on the Hunter Biden laptop have been authenticated. I'm not claiming the media doesn't push a narrative, but it is problematic to tie that narrative to a specific point in time and overlook developments that have happened since.
