  1. Who would vote for a guy that says this about our troops/
  2. You said it was no big change. Going from a free society to Putin’s dictatorship is no big deal? Whatever! Meanwhile, if any gun law gets passed here, you scream “tyranny”!!
  3. Maybe there’s a reason they got divorced from the USSR You remember the Evil Empire?
  4. A friend once asked me what comedy was. That floored me. What is comedy? I don't know. Does anybody? Can you define it? All I know is that I learned how to get laughs, and that's all I know about it. You have to learn what people will laugh at, then proceed accordingly. Stan Laurel
  5. Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute. It is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he. For all things proceed out of this same spirit, which is differently named love, justice, temperance, in its different applications, just as the ocean receives different names on the several shores which it washes. All things proceed out of the same spirit, and all things conspire with it. Whilst a man seeks good ends, he is strong by the whole strength of nature. In so far as he roves from these ends, he bereaves himself of power, of auxiliaries; his being shrinks out of all remote channels, he becomes less and less, a mote, a point, until absolute badness is absolute death. Emerson
  6. Yes, that's my point! You guys went from claiming people are joining you to complaining--in this thread--everyone is against you, which is true. Some people want to defend democracy, others, like the MAGA crowd, want to destroy it. What don't you get?
  7. Dumbest thread ever? I guess they gave up on the "Walk Away" Thread
  8. Two cannibals were eating a comedian. One cannibal looks over at the other and says: This taste funny to you?
  9. I guess they should of taken the bi-partisan deal that was negotiated. Of course they just don't want the border fixed https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/20/house-vote-ukraine-israel-aid-johnson/#link-YI2FZDL7ERDU5KUUZTXUKCLZTE Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) accused Speaker Mike Johnson of “colluding” with Democrats to prioritize foreign aid over securing the Southern border. “To send $100 billion overseas without reinforcing our own borders shows that we put America last,” Massie told reporters Saturday outside the House chamber. He has signed onto Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s plan to depose Johnson. They can talk to each other, or go sit in the bathroom, f them Hard-line GOP members not getting ‘floor time’ to speak Return to menu By Marianna Sotomayor Congressional reporter covering the House of Representatives If you’ve been watching the debate on the House floor today, you probably haven’t seen many far-right members present their perspective against the plan presented by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). That’s by design. According to several Republicans, those members have been prevented from receiving “floor time” to speak because of overwhelming opposition from the conference. House Republicans and Democrats both made impassioned pleas to support Ukraine, highlighting the war crimes of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Without our help, a democracy is certain to fall to a murderous, Marxist, socialist dictator,” Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) said, adding, “My ears have heard the numerous testimonies of unthinkable acts by the Russian military.” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the former speaker of the House, didn’t mince words in describing those atrocities. “Vladimir Putin has instructed his troops to use rape, kidnapping and murder in front of family members as a weapon of war to demoralize the people of Ukraine,” she said.
