I'm less concerned about Trump than I would be if he held the mechanisms of power. But he doesn't. That's the worry with Biden. And I haven't heard of a single whistle blower coming forward to allege Trump took any payoffs or influence money from Chinese government and CCP/PLA related entities but there are a several that pointed to and implicated Biden and there's lots of forensic accounting trails to follow up on. Our President is compromised. But its worse. The CCP has done an outstanding job of what they call "elite capture". Dumping money into all kinds of US domestic organizations and individuals that has created a bond of "common interest" which enables a domestic network of advocates and agents that come to the Chinese regime's defense when any criticism or disparaging remarks or concerns are sent their way. Because the CCP is smart and now these people depend on their goodwill for a significant portion of their compensation. In sports, look how the NBA is co-opted by Chinese money. Academic institutions and research organizations have been completely infiltrated. But we're told its xenophobic or imaginary to point it out. All from the loudest voices of the people getting the biggest payoffs.

I suspect you've built up a substantial emergency reserve and retirement fund while those folks driving the $100K autos are stretched to the max and one missed paycheck away from trouble. Lifestyle maximizers. My dad would call having a sizable rainy day fund as having some degree of financial independence and he would follow that up by saying "if you don't have some level of financial independence you'll never have any real freedom". I think there's some truth to that statement. Several years ago my previous assignment ended and as I had some emergency money I didn't have to jump at job opportunities or offers that didn't seem right. I could wait until the right opportunity came along, which it did. I haven't had a car payment for 10 years and don't miss it.

They admire the guy that can get their research projects funding.

Maybe the administration can try something different like telling the truth about the President's physical and mental condition? Like releasing his latest health evaluation to the public. Maybe the members of the media that have to sit through these charade press conferences where they are given questions to ask with pre-determined answers on queue cards that the President reads back to them, can ask some real questions such as why can't we ask unrehearsed questions, and why is the President incapable of forming a coherent response to questions that aren't on those queue cards? Maybe Congress can demand answers about the silent coup in progress where an unelected and unknown person is assuming the role of President and sitting in the Oval Office making day-to-day decisions? .

The debate on the President's heath could easily be settled if the administration would provide clarity and publicly release the evaluation of his current physical and mental condition. What's the readout from the doctors? While there is no requirement to do so its not uncommon. That would eliminate the need for all the fill-in-the-blanks back and forth speculation. Rather I'm left to conclude he's in physical and mental decline and as typical the speed and severity is accelerating like it always does with the elderly quickly nearing the end.

The standard is pretty high for committing a person to any such facility but the criminal justice system needs to acknowledge that persons demonstrating chronic criminal behavior cannot be can't be given a free pass using the excuse of "mental illness" allowing them to stay on the streets to commit more crimes and endanger the public.

There's a lot of support behind that strategy but its not clear what happens when Washington concludes the Russians are going to win the conflict or at the least hold on to the territory they've gained. What's the policy response, throw in the towel or send in the troops? Even if you disagree with my conclusions about the potential to "lose" the war, any experienced military planner is going to require it of themselves to game out, foresee, and plan for all contingencies. Winning, losing, a stalemate, a negotiated settlement, etc. Like a good football coach you need a solid game plan to address all sorts of contingencies and situations you expect to encounter on the field.

And arrest anyone and outlaw political parties and organizations that are critical of the government. Protecting democracy is our sacred duty and if we have to violate every principal and belief of democracy to save democracy we will. And as leader once the dust settles I will relinquish all the power I have acquired, when I see fit. And not to be a pest, please send more money and weapons. All I can say is its quite a complex web of contradictions and inconsistencies we've gotten ourselves into here.

As I said on another thread in the world of politics the truth and facts don't matter. All you need to do is tell a convincing enough story that people will believe. The Democrats have mastered that art to perfection. And it doesn't hurt that they have the censorship system in place to silence anyone that provides any rebuttal.

Why would Jack Smith do that? He knows its a violation of law to leak evidence of an ongoing investigation. And being a special counsel it crosses the line of ethics and duty required for that job. If he knows there's sufficient evidence to hang Trump out to dry why bother? If you assume the main objective is to bring Trump to justice, find him guilty, and sentence him to some punishment it makes little sense. But if you believe the main objective is to discredit Trump as much as possible by carpet bombing the new cycles with negative stories about his actions and activities in an attempt at character assassination to convince enough Trump "supporters" to abandon him and support somebody else then it makes all then sense in the world.

And like the Borg Collective all the drones that said it was dangerous will change their tune as soon as they receive those instructions. I should have added, most importantly. And memory hole their previous views while claiming the new view is what they believed all along!

Some people lack critical thinking skills or a minimal sense of curiosity that are required to objectively attack a problem or situation from more than one angle. The correct answer is "maybe or maybe not but let's check into it".

No. She plain sucks and independents hated her more than they hated Trump. End of story.

When I attempt to characterize the modern American Left one thing I think of is a line from the Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl movie with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. Bloom's character, Will Turner is in a confrontation with Depp's, Jack Sparrow. Turner suggests he can beat Sparrow in a "fair fight". To which Sparrow replies, "well that doesn't give me much incentive to fight fair does it?" That describes the fringe left for me. The rules don't matter if following the rules results in losing. Most people in the in the 95% of the population to the right of the extremists on the left don't get it. They think following the rules of engagement is the appropriate approach. But that strategy is a losing proposition because the extremists don't care about the rules. Anyone that disagrees with their ideas is reflexively characterized as some sort of "hater". whether true or not, it doesn't matter. When you've convinced yourself that you're fighting "evil" there are no limits to what must be done in order to defeat it. And using the same "hate" the people they accuse of "hate" are employing is justified because their hate is in support of a noble cause, social justice. There is no higher calling. The fact the far left has co-opted so many public and private institutions along with manipulating and altering the behavior and thoughts of so many people is a testimony to the soundness of their plan as well as being a frightening situation.

And repeat the same words over and over. HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE, HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE,HATE Repeat it until it sticks. Because civil and peaceful disagreement and expressing your views is not allowed when focused on the movements Alpha victim.

I will say that about Trump. And I've stated many times he lacks moral and ethical character. And he lacks detailed comprehension of issues. He's a goofball. And I didn't vote for him in either election. And the audio tape where he discusses (and is assumed to be holding some confidential document) the contents of a confidential folder with other people without any security clearance makes him sound like an idiot and damages his claims of innocence. I've also given the idea of "proof" some overnight thought. And I've concluded in politics "proof" is irrelevant. While we debate back and forth about numerous issues the reality of politics is you don't need evidence. All you need is the ability to convince enough voters that your story is credible enough so they vote for you. All you need is to convince people to support your programs and not to support the other person's programs. That's the game these people play in Washington. That's the game the political parties play. Nobody in politics needed to prove Trump colluded with Russia. They just needed to get voters to believe the story and vote against him. They put on a big dog-and-pony show n order to create this illusion even though they knew the possibility of the Senate convicting Trump was zero. enough people fell for the story and Biden replaced Trump in the WH. Mission accomplished. Nobody in politics needs to prove Biden took payoffs using his son as the front man. They just need to convince the public the story is credible, which shows up in the President's polling number, which gives the DNC anxiety about running Biden for re-election, which damages his re-election chances. In this regard Comer is playing the role of Schiff. Meanwhile, we all wait for some release of information from the committee which backs up their assertions. But acquiring enough evidence to bring articles of impeachment is unimportant. What they do is manipulate perception of reality in order to get people to think and do what they want them to think and do. Providing the public with enough facts and figures and proof and evidence to make informed and rational decisions is the last thing they want. Which is where the censorship and misinformation project slides into the story which I won't go into here.

You're recycling the same old tired ass argument here. Oh, woe, there's no proof. I'll tell you what I think. I think you excel at this back-and-forth stuff but you're never going to waiver from your position. I don't think proof matters to you one way or the other. I think somebody could lay out a 25- page trail of evidence and proof and it wouldn't matter. Such as some bloggers are in the process of creating. You won't change your mind or alter your position. You'll never admit Biden is engaged in a lifetime payoff and influence peddling racket. There are whistle blowers, forensic accounting, and other people involved in the scams providing statements and documentation. But they're all lying. Everyone here is lying except the Biden's. You'll never waver one inch from your position on any other topic. So what's the point of anyone wasting their time responding and providing "proof"?

Okay drama queen. Are you going to recommend we all need to be on alert for soccer mom hate groups establishing concentration camp?

Do you acknowledge there was armed conflict between ethnic Ukrainian militias and Russian seperatists in Donbas beginning in 2014 until the invasion? Resulting in about 10,000 deaths.

I assume if instead they quoted Mao from the Cultural Revolution where the exact strategy was also employed rather than receiving push back they would have been cheered and commended for a job well done!

Aren't you the least bit skeptical about these types of reports? Maybe it was stray anti-aircraft fire that missed the target landed elsewhere.

All this what I'm saying here sounds like a conspiracy theory or rather it might be pure speculation and I'm just rattling off random thoughts here. But I think they've gotten into bed with other powerful forces like the surveillance and intelligence services (along with WEF-like groups), and assorted billionaires, and globalist type organizations and have agreed to do all the "dirty work" in exchange the big boys bankrolling their efforts and agreeing to add some of their more extreme desires to the program. I don't believe the IC is going to allow the left to take over anything. They're just street muscle to get the job done so they can keep their hands clean and stay out of the light. Nobody can convince me that billionaires like Larry Fink at Blackrock or George Soros that are bankrolling ideas like lenient prosecutors, stakeholder capitalism, and all sorts of social justice mambo jumbo are looking to institute a system of socialism or communism where guys like them will get their assets confiscated. Pure baloney. They've got some other motives and it's not Intersectional Equity and Inclusion or a desire to see dudes wearing wigs and dresses. I mean you see the same groups of demonstrators at the same types of events coast-to-coast spouting the same exact jargon and it costs a lot of money to move people around support an army of paid activists. But I think once the elites gain what control they seek they'll line up the leftist against the firing squad wall and eliminate the troublemakers like the way the Brown Shirts got snuffed in the Night of the Long Knives.
