On Trump

[Mr._Clark]

While MSNBC posted the wrong photo of Pretti, they admitted their mistake. Contrast that with the Whitehouse - the 'effin' Whitehouse! - posting fake a photo of Nekima Levy Armstrong and refusing to take it down.

FACT FOCUS: White House shares altered image showing arrest of civil rights attorney in Minnesota

The Trump administration is misrepresenting the arrest of civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong for her role in an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church.

Trump's use of AI images further erodes public trust, experts say

An edited — and realistic — image of a civil rights attorney in tears after being arrested is raising new alarms about how the government is blurring the line between what is real and what is fake.

And, of course, regardless of what Pretti actually looked like, he was killed by the United States government.

As Clint Eastwood would say "It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have,"

Including taking away his Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness, and all inalienable rights that he was endowed with by his Creator.

What a loser. Guess it confirmed everything that happened before....

-- would not directly condemn the KKK and David Duke to Jake Tapper
-- "there were good people on both sides" of Charlottesville
-- Proud Boys-- stand back, and stand by
-- illegal immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country"
-- always had some weird bitter jealousy towards Obama

Can you expand on this list, please.

As each day passes Trump continues to prove, he is in fact lower than Whale dung ............

 

[lovinthehd]

Who's better, Miller or Vance?

JD Vance is doing nothing more than playing down the little confrontation Trump and Collins had. Vance has proven to be a better A$$ kisser than his predecessor by far........

Can you expand on this list, please.

Paul Ryan's kind of like textbook racism when referring to Trump's comments on a Mexican judge who I assume didn't side with him. I think that was Trump University or one of his other scams but can't remember.

There was that one I'd have to look up where Trump said something along the lines of residents "eating pets" referring to immigrants.

The writer who said Trump was playing "footsie" with the alt-right.

Obviously the "Mexicans are rapists." I'm sure there's a few rapists coming across the border but c'mon man Trump made it sound like rape was wide spread. I felt the key to the whole thing was his concluding oh and I suppose some of them are good people. Saying to me a few are good but most are not. Illegal or not it's pretty ridiculous to think most are criminals.

 

[Dude#1279435]

Third headline cracks me up.

OLYMPIANS' 'MIXED EMOTIONS' REPRESENTING USA
Vance Booed at Olympics...
Skier urinates 'F--- ICE' in snow...
Switzerland wins first gold...

Who's better, Miller or Vance?

Vance, but in terms of "vibe" I'd rather have Rubio in '28. Miller's pretty awful.

Edit: it's difficult to say because Vance is in the foreground while Miller is in the background.

 

[Mikado463]

Who's better, Miller or Vance?

LMAO, using the word 'better' in regards to referencing either one of them ??

Miller is nothing more than a little piss-ant, bald headed turd, ok then, I guess I answered your question......

 

[Mr._Clark]

Vance annoys me because he is actually quite intelligent and he knows better. I read his autobiography (Hillbilly Elogy) when it first came out and I thought he had real potential. But, as far as I can tell, he decided to sell his soul in pursuit of Washington power once he realized Trump's sales pitch worked. Ironically, of course, the populist shtick is really just another way to gain power and money.

I'm not sure what to think of Miller. He seems to have a rather modest IQ and an innate inability to think beyond his rather narrow worldview. It's like he sees everything through sh*t colored glasses.

If I was forced to pick between two sh*t sandwiches, I'd say Vance at least has the potential to come around some day, whereas Miller will just keep swimming in his own sh*t forever.

And that's my huge opinion. Everyone is obviously free to disagree, I will not pretend to have any special insight or knowledge of either one.

A huge opinion would have filled a few pages.

With Miller I find there to be a white national vibe.

While the epithet "fascist" is regularly lobbed at the Trump administration, the accuracy of that descriptor could be fairly debated. However, if you had to pick one member of Trump's inner circle who personified that odious mindset, well...that would have to be Miller.

As for Vance, while he may have a brain, he has debased himself so thoroughly since becoming VP, that he will have a steep hill to climb in order to redeem himself. The problem is, if he wants to regain any degree of credibility, he needs to start working on that now. Doing that while carrying Trump's water for three more years looks like an impossible task. But, stranger things have happened...

You need to check a Sex Offender website if you think rape isn't common and don't bitch at me for posting this.

 

[highfigh]

Of course. I wasn't trying to suggest otherwise.

Again, not suggesting that.

I guess my point is that so many guns rights advocates yammer on about 2A protecting their right to bear arms in order to overthrow the government, should it turn tyrannical when , as far as I can tell, it does no such thing.

I really don't think we have any disagreement, just a misunderstanding of what we have both stated.

OK, so what is your definition of 'free state'? That's surely not possible if the government turns tyrannical. I believe it's less about overthrowing and more about defense against.

The problem with freedom- it requires responsible people to not go off the rails with "It's a free country" and the idea that people can do anything they want.

My definition of a "free state" is irrelevant. What is relevant is "well-regulated militia", meaning controlled by the government, i.e. in the service of the state. Private armies don't get to redefine the term.

The Amendment uses 'free state' to define the right and some collective agreement/understanding is needed, or it becomes chaos.

However, I do agree that a random bunch of paranoid gun-toting idiots is one of the last things we need but the immediate danger to society is guns in the hands of people who should never be allowed to have them. Someone sholuld have punched Charleton Heston in the head after he made his "...cold, dead hands" comment into the NRA mantra. I have known some of the morons who fit that definition and they should be tossed into a volcano.

This is the result of people who don't understand the responsibility I mentioned before- having rights is great, but abuse/mis-use of them makes those rights into something that was never intended.

The intent wasn't about hoarding, but the extreme fear among many who have the money for accumulating guns caused that. Better to vote for worthy candidates.

Who's better, Miller or Vance?

 

[Dude#1279435]

It's funny seeing Trump give an address at a religious event.

Also Paula White. What's wrong with this country....

 

[Mr._Clark]

It's often said that a good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.

In contrast, Pirro can't indict jack.

>>>Federal prosecutors in Washington sought and failed on Tuesday to secure an indictment against six Democratic lawmakers who posted a video this fall that enraged President Trump . . . It was remarkable that the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington — led by Jeanine Pirro, a longtime ally of Mr. Trump’s — authorized prosecutors to go into a grand jury and ask for an indictment of the six members of Congress, all of whom had served in the military or the nation’s spy agencies. . . .

Over and over, the Justice Department under Mr. Trump has brought questionable criminal cases against foes of the president — among them, James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, and Letitia James, the New York attorney general. But even though many of these cases have been weak, the department has apparently determined that it might be better to fail in court rather than push back against Mr. Trump’s well-known desire for revenge.

Prosecutors, for instance, failed twice to re-indict Ms. James after a federal judge tossed out her original charges, ruling that the U.S. attorney handpicked by Mr. Trump to prosecute the case had been illegally appointed to her job. The case against Mr. Comey was dismissed for the same reason.<<<

The DOJ is infested with feckless cr*pweasels.

 

[Mr._Clark]

It's somewhat amusing that the DOJ can't indict a man for thowing a ham sandwich, let alone a ham sandwich.
