Mr. Personal Responsibility and his family is blaming everyone else for his drug addiction.

Rather sad.

It seems its his sister blaming liberals. Not him. Or am I missing something?
So much dishonesty in this topic.

This is a really, really good podcast so far. I finished the first two episodes. Very well done. A lot of interesting history.

The risk of being poked by some addicts discarded needles is enough to make any sane person never want to be in a dumpster. And thats just one of many reasons.

Yes, and Kim Foxx should be disbarred and indicted.

These are all programs that a funded and ran through the dreaded "socialism" or in other words, "taxpayer funded and taxpayer ran".
Not so scary when you take away the conservative curtain of hypocrisy.

The truth will set you free.

I actually do hate the majority of things on that list and firmly believe they should be privatized.

Now what?

He was asked today about whether hed endorse any of the remaining candidates and he said all they have to do is come out in favor of a UBI program and hell be on the road with them

Pretty sure Bernie would be for it, since his entire platform is basically exponentially empowering government to put their boot on peoples necks, steal their money by force, and redistribute it in return for votes. Hes a communist.

No, I think Americans are being brainwashed into thinking SOCIALISM is GOOD. Have you not paid attention to what has been happening in colleges for the past decade?

This.

FireFox, because google is an abhorrent company that indulges in censorship and I dont like them whoring out my data and privacy.

Fringe, how? His most iconic policies are supported by the majority of people in the USA. What nonsense.

Mead posted...

Most of his political opinions are in line with the opinions of the majority of Americans.

Guys, Im pretty sure the polls dont reflect that.
Most Americans are happy with their healthcare.
Most Americans dont like Communism.

sharp edge alert.

Nah you got to dump it on good. Make it so when you shake peoples hands it comes off on them.
Im kidding of course, but what the hell is it with men who do this? It usually seems to be much older men who do it. I call them cologne bombers. You shake their hand and you literally get it on you. Wtf? Or maybe its aftershave? Either way its ridiculous and rude.

Looks absolutely awful. Doesnt even have Bridges in it. They chose the character with one gimmick that wears out quickly and theyre going to make an entire movie based around him. Pathetic.
Add Pete Davidson and Susan Suranden (spelling?) and youve got a garbage pail of a cast.

0. Wife and I own home outright.

This thread is a shining beacon of how politically inept most people on this board are. Cringe.

The vast majority of his posts are about morally offensive things that would "trigger" conservatives. Most "normal" people are completely indifferent to his posts and they just look like spam.
So all he's doing is constantly bating. Every one of his posts is basically trolling and he gets to get away with it.

This is a bad take. Many of them have nothing to do with politics. Also, I see just as many lefties here rage at his posts, if not more.
As a conservative leaning person myself, they dont engage me at all. I really just feel sorry for DuckBear. Its quite evident that this is literally all he has in his life. He lives with his parents and hes super weird. Hes a grown man who posts Winnie the Pooh pictures for Christs sake.

Folks cant be this ignorant, right Mead? They have to be trolling.

He certainly is.

didnt want to touch the second part of my statement I see.

Also, Im willing to bet the farm that most people here had no idea as well. I didnt really learn this until my mid 20s. Mostly because it just simply never came up. How often do you talk about Kansas City in conversation?
But yeah, youd expect any individual who campaigns across America as much as he does to know this.

No

Are they trying to screw Bernie again?
Wasnt there a pole that they release every single year right before the caucus, but this year they didnt, because they didnt like that Bernie won it?

I dont always agree with Rush. But I do like him and grew up listening to him with my dad. Still listen from time to time today. Sad to hear this. Also sad to see people laughing about it here. But not surprised.

Pretty dumb. No different than Obama saying hes been to 57 states.

A geriatric socialist who wants to forcibly insert government into every aspect of individuals lives using coercion and plunder to do so.
Its despicable that anyone could root for this.

Mead posted...

If it isnt then why not let him speak at the trial

unless of course they dont actually want to dig any deeper and find out the truth

Okay so lets pretend that is the case for certain: the senate is voting not to call witnesses because having Bolton or Parnas testify would be devastating to the President. That still doesnt excuse the House Dems from not going ahead and calling these witnesses. And your point completely dodges the main question of this thread. The Dems could have, should have, and heck, technically can even still, call witnesses to testify in the house if they want to.
Is there nobody here willing to acknowledge that they dropped the ball? Or is partisan finger pointing more important?
Because of their refusal to call witnesses in the House themselves, it allows one to safely assume that perhaps there really isnt much of a case there to begin with.

Its a great game. One of the best games I played in 2019.

The House has already attempted to call several of them (most notably Bolton) and they refused to testify. The could subpoena them, but Trump has ordered pretty much everyone in the White House not to comply with congressional subpoenas, so the House would need to go to court to get it enforced, a process that would probably take upwards of a year.

So then they would do the same thing if called by the Senate. Do you not see the hypocrisy here? Or are you being purposefully dishonest?
The courts very well may have forced them to testify in the house. But well never know, because the house refuses to try, but instead somehow find it fitting to accuse the senate of a coverup for doing the literal same thing.

This made me chuckle.

Honest question: is there anyone in here that isn't trolling and is honestly stupid enough to think that they could get an answer from "the other side" that actually satisfies them or is stupid enough to think they could convince "the other side" that they are wrong?

No Im not trolling. It genuinely baffles my mind why left-leaning folks here arent pissed that the Dems didnt subpoena witnesses, like John Bolton or Lev Parnas for example, in the House. They could have, and they should have. They literally could do it right now if they wanted to. Theres nothing stopping them.

Mead posted...

The senate doesnt have to call witnesses, they arent going to

but if they wanted the truth about the situation and not to just cover up what trump did, then they would

This exact same reasoning could be said about the House. They Could have called witnesses!

Refusal to acknowledge that, and refusal to call out the House of Reps for not having done so, is really weak tea. So many folks attempting to hide the ball here and its silly.

Mead posted...

congress is a coequal branch of government, a president cant just claim absolute immunity and blanket executive privilege in response to an investigation

Right, so then the house should have called for Bolton to testify.

I just want to make it clear that I too think the American people should have heard from Bolton. Republicans who say otherwise are partisan shills. I also think we should hear from Biden. Democrats who say otherwise are partisan shills.
I also am of the opinion that this may come back to hurt the Republican senators later on. I guess time will tell.

But are left-leaning/Democrat folks really not willing to admit that these witnesses should have been called in the house? Are you not disappointed in Pelosi/Schiff that they didnt push for that. Because they could have called these witnesses.

BlackScythe0 posted...

Wtf?

They were refusing to cooperate with congress, what part of that is unclear? The courts have NEVER, EVER, ruled to side with assertions of executive privledge that the administration was attempting, but the court battle was going to be drug on for as long as possible.

So then they would have refused to testify in the senate as well then. Thus leaving the courts to force them to testify. It would have been the same regardless of House or Senate.

Contempt of congress was one of the charges for a reason.

can you explain this further?

OniRonin posted...

if you don't like the constitution feel free to move to a different country

This is a total dodge and you know it. Its also a lie. Theres nothing that prevented them from calling witnesses. If there is please source it. Youre not contributing anything to what should be an objective discussion.

OniRonin posted...

this is not how the constitution works. please read about the constitutional convention

So there is not. So they could and should have called those witnesses and built a case to send to the Senate.

OniRonin posted...

please read the constitution

Is there a portion that says the House is not allowed to subpoena John Bolton during the investigation process, in order to build the case they should have built? I dont think there is.
please correct me if Im wrong.

According to several sources Ive heard (Im not expert on the matter) the house could literally call these witnesses and question them in the house, right now. So why not? Its almost as if they know it wouldnt lead to much?

Why didnt the house call the witnesses theyre now complaining that the Senate did not call? Like Bolton for example. Technically, they could still call them right now. Shouldnt Democrat constituents feel disappointed/upset that the Democrats in the house let them down?
It kind of seems dishonest to point the finger at the Senate, when the House didnt take the time to investigate as they should have. After all, they swore they had a solid case.
There is literally nothing stopping them from calling on Bolton to testify in the House right now.
So, why not?

Since were using anecdotes as an authority on the tax cuts, Ill share mine: I get back about the same for my return as always. Each paycheck I make about $45 more.
