What we need to acknowledge is that unlike most of us living in reality, these academic types lead privileged lives in an alternative reality where critical thinking and reason were banished long ago. In this world up is down, left is right, or most appropriate, wrong is right. The course should be titled Empire 101: How to crush you enemies with brutal violence to rule the world. But if I was to give students attending her classes some advice I'd tell them not to turn their backs to Ms. Clinton and make sure to have a clear line-of-sight to the nearest exist at all times. There's no telling when she might decide to give the "go" signal to some elite assassination team to provide the class a live demonstration of her "diplomatic skills".

I heard Treasury Secretary Yellen speak during some Congressional testimony on backstopping banks depending on whether or not they posed any systemic risk. The long and short of it all was that if in the opinion of Treasury that risk existed they'd move to support the bank, depositors, creditors in some way in order to contain any fallout. What no representative asked was a question of mine that if in the opinion of Treasury any bank posed systemic risk then why are they allowed to exist in any form that posed such risks? Along with what is wrong with the "system" where these events keep happening?

There is a silver lining here. It won't be the poor and working classes that are hurt. They're used to dealing with it and are already suffering from it all. When the SHTF the liberal arts schmucks without any real life coping or life skills who support all this chaos are going to take it up the tail pipe the hardest. I'm not sure about anybody else but thinking about how much crap is going to rain down on them makes me happy.

Prospects for America have never looked as bleak as they do today.

And a generous 6 digit annual pension and free health care for life courtesy of the taxpayer.

No. At this point they're all desk jockeys or retired, not field agents. Anyway, you've got to be out of your mind if you want to get shot at by drug cartel members while being handcuffed by procedures and rules of non-engagement established by the idiots in the Biden administration. You might as well put the drug dealers in charge with this administration.

I know some folks in law enforcement along with having family members that worked at the Federal level in DEA and DHS.

Generally a red MAGA hat. For government agents, the hat plus standard issue sunglasses, neatly trimmed crew cut hair, and a concealed sidearm.

Life has taught me that people rarely antagonize or pick a fight with somebody they expect will kick the living crap out of them. Somebody might demonstrate their principles and be bold and mouth off to a guy like Clarence Thomas but its doubtful they'd express the same in your face confrontation with the likes of MMA fighter Colin McGregor for example.

You need a majority vote in Congress along with 38 of 50 States to vote "yes" to removing the Electors wording from Article II, section 1 of the Constitution and looking at the map I don't think the votes are there. The initial purpose was to protect smaller population states against a plurality rule by the larger population states. That protection is as valid today as it was for the original 13 States of the Republic.

If something does happen today, correctly guess how many government agents and operatives show up at Trump Tower today disguised in MAGA gear and win 2 free tickets to next year's DNC convention.

Yes, conservatives are slow but all the libs are totally grounded in reality. So please explain to us all how a man menstrates? Find one and show "him" to us.

Sounds like a great plan to achieve their goal of FUBARing all aspects of society.

Ironically, from 1980 to 1988, Washington sided with Iraq in their war with Iran. Then changed their minds to finished off Saddam in the 2nd rendition of the gulf war under Bush 2. Only to unleash Iran on the rest of the Middle East by removing their natural enemy from the region. Then turning our attention to contain Iran's regional ambitions and pursuit of nuclear weapons. All while getting regional "allies" to bulk up on US supplied weapons systems from corporate interests that hire lots of former government and military big-wigs playing some elaborate make-work whack-a-mole project. This war thing is quite a racket.

85% of Trump supporters polled believe the 3/21/23 call to action if Trump is indicted is an FBI trap. The other 15% are government agents and informants.

Peace and security? We've had neither since.

I agree with your assessment of life but this is an attempt to dress up what is a campaign financing misdemeanor charge into some sort of state level felony charge. Its not going to stick to the wall. And while I generally hate the one person does it and gets away with it and another person does it and doesn't get away with it argument, I'll make my last post on the topic here to point out the Clinton campaign did the exact same thing when routing the Russian Dossier payment to Christopher Steele thru their law firm and FusionGPS and characterizing the payment a customary campaign expenditure. Misrepresenting a campaign expenditure. What they received was a FERC fine.

I'm 100% positive they would not be prosecuting this if he wasn't some perceived threat to the folks running the show. Its a Federal charge the DOJ decided not to pursue. But DA Bragg is attempting to contort the paying of funds into some violation of NYS law. George Washing University Law Professor Jonathan Turley said it best, that the DA’s case against Trump “is legally pathetic” and “is struggling to twist state laws to effectively prosecute a federal case long ago rejected by the Justice Department against Trump.” While Trump is clearly a far from perfect human being with questionable ethics, I cannot stop asking the question that if he's done so much bad stuff then why can't anyone produce credible and factual evidence of these transgressions that can pass the threshold of court admissibility in order to charge and convict him on something other than what is clearly trivial along with what I can only expect will be another nothing burger flop? You might classify his supporters as cultists but the true cultists are those obsessed with pursuing a political vendetta to punish the man for daring to beat the establishment chosen one in 2016. Its not about justice, its about revenge. And revenge can be a futile pursuit. Bragg should just move on to other things like all the shootings and other violent crime in NY and stop pandering to street criminals by treating them as victims while ignoring the real victims they prey upon. The biggest douche in this story is the DA.

Could be but you'll never convince progressives of that argument because rejection of all reality is the core of their belief system. And if they were capable of critical thinking they wouldn't believe the gender identity hustle in the first place.

I said it before, I'll say it again. The arguments used by these folks is consistent with the 1950's era white segregationists arguing their views on the principals and virtues of separate but equal. So take a good look at the 2020's faces of racism. Not some backwoods southern hicks but instead the educated intellectual class. Lots of PhD types spending 10 years is college learning how to be stupid.

Meanwhile, special interest groups like NOW claiming to represent women on issues such as equal pay and reproductive rights stand and applaud as men masquerading as women win awards during International Women's Month while the definition of a women is erased.

You're just proving my point. The story says the Supreme Court vacated the conviction and DOJ declined to pursue the case. So, no harm, no foul. What about fast forwarding to the present to something like Biden's documented family run organized influence peddling operation with entities in places like China? Millions transferred to family members. In exchange for what exactly? That's the concern. Legal, illegal, that sounds like a national security issue. Something that requires investigation. The DOJ checking into it? Forget about that happening anytime soon. The potential for a sitting President to be compromised by payoffs from our #1 adversary. Not a peep about the situation in the media or Washington elites. The story just doesn't exist. You swap out Biden for Trump and I guarantee it's a 24/7 shitstorm. Impeachment, treason, article 25. The whole 9 yards. I'm not making any case for defending Trump but merely pointing out there's one set of rules for insiders and another set of rules for outsiders. Insiders get protection. Outsiders face prosecution. Tell me I'm wrong?

Many see a legal system that has been effectively weaponized by a political establishment clinging to power, while overseeing a controlled demolition of our country in every way possible, that prosecutes its enemies to fullest extent on even the most minor of offenses while allowing members of the political establishment to without exception skate on even the most egregious of offenses. Personally, I agree with this assessment, and try as I may, I cannot make any intelligent argument to the contrary given the circumstances. In this case making a $130,000 payment through an attorney instead of making it directly. Given the litany of things Trump has been accused of I personally find it comical that his enemies need to settle on something so trivial. if this fails what the next step? Checking into a couple unpaid parking tickets? Are they out to get him? They sure are and it can't be any more obvious.

I don't consider myself as a "righty", more a will of the people kind of guy. I'd say this Trump thing is pretty much consistent with Joe Biden raging away at MAGA extremists minus the Marine guards and red lighting. Although I've got to say these emotional rants on one side or the other turn me off. My dad used to say that when you make important decisions with your emotions, you'll more times than not end up regretting it. I've found that to be true. We need less ranting and name calling and more debate and discussion of facts and rational choices. I think that's something most of us here can rally around regardless of our views. Unfortunately, a lot of the political leadership avoids that kind of approach at all costs. I'd add my overall view of Trump is that his time has come and gone. And it would be best if he'd step aside and let somebody else take the lead.

The problem is these folks pushing all this crap don't eat their own cooking. So round up all the Greenies. Drop them off on some island. Then tell them "do what you say". Adopt your own proposals and make a go of it. And I'll be back in two years to check on how many of you are still alive. Good luck and otherwise F off.
