You’re projecting here Bobby Sherman, teenage heartthrob. Lot’s of words strung together with “well if...” and “why would...” and “comey helped...”. Your faith in the governmental industrial machine is admirable. Suggesting “Comey helped Trump” in the Clinton unforced error(s) where a former Secretary of State was described by her allies as having played fast and loose with national security issues is akin to suggesting Comey helped Trump by investigating Whitey Bulger. She created her mess, she was dismissive of concerns about national security, and exposed her throat to her enemies. I’m in the camp that thinks children of a lesser god, guilty of far lesser crimes, do time and are financially ruined while the heiress apparent walks with a few hurtful words thrown her way. Comey had no choice but to opine here, not to help Trump, but to deal with a very messy situation. In a sense, he was a reluctant ******* here. The players here have access to the most sensitive information in the world. Brennan, Comey et al did not sit back and allow justice to take its course, they advanced a narrative that served the purpose of undermining the results of the election. In a sense, we were promised that the details would follow vindicating these American hero’s just looking out for our democracy. Grossly incompetent or fabricated and death by a thousand paper cuts. If they are the hero’s of your story, so be it. I don’t disagree with some of your characterizations of 45, but everybody has something to critique.

Bob, you go along for the ride if you want, and I take you at your word that you believe what you believe. In the simplest form Bob, the facts are pretty clear. The greatest intelligence gathering agency in the world simply does not miss as badly as it did on the Russia hoax. It defies logic that the opposition party would stumble into unmasking citizens, surveil members of the other party, selectively leak bad Intel through sources in the media, and start the ball rolling on the "Our President is Controlled By Russia!" Hill and have it end the way it did. If they come for the guy that 60m people believed in they better be right. When it was clear they were not, there are only two reasonable altentatives imo: 1. The IC, FBI and Obama admin was so grossly incompetent to have so totally misread the tea leaves and the players in the game that they missed spectacularly on front of the citizenry and is the laughingstock of the world; or 2. The goal was to undo the results of the election through leaks, intimidation, innuendo and a propaganda campaign that would impress Herr Goebels. In the meantime, the "investigation" would stall, impede or paralyze the administration and certainly impact the reputation of the president. 3 years in, the coup failed, though one can argue the damage done impacted the midterms and perhaps the next election. You simply do not imply a president is guilty or treason and "Ah, whoops no bigs" it when proven false. Screw that.

Well, there was a time I felt the way you did, but I’ve come to believe that the need to pay respects to someone simply because they held public office is unnecessary. IMO, many of these people work for one of the most un/underegulated ‘corporations’ in the human history. They come to live, breathe and work in their own interests as much as they ever work in the interests of their constituents, are extremely well-compensated in terms of salary, benefits and access to power. Often, when I look at net worth v. annual income, it seems there is a disconnect between what they make going in and what they take when they walk out. I reserve my moments of respect for very few in the political realm, and find myself much more impacted by the passing of folks of good character locally.

one of the more interesting parts of this attempted coup, imo, is how the entrenched govt lifers have convinced the liberal left to kneel at the glory hole of a corrupt big govt. people who for years railed against law enforcement, the military and widespread systemic and institutionalized racism are literally falling over themselves to defend those once labeled the enemy. it’s like they have no sense of what they believe in. you have to give the plotters credit—they know their crowd. When one “scandal” blows up, they simply shine the laser pointer somewhere else and the generally dim-witted lefties follow like Alice The Goon. P***** leads to “the children are more caged than when Obama caged ‘em” leads to Russia No Russia leads to It was never about Russia it was about Obstruction that ain’t obstruction leads to Ukrainamania leads to mental gymnastics of how a liberal VP bragging about withholding aid because his self-destructive and supremely addicted kid can make a few mill to blow on hookers and meth is really the definition of crackerjack governing but a president investigating known corruption is the REAL problem. Bobby I M, I can’t speak for the public schools everywhere, but in WNY in the 70s, we learned there is more than one type of coup. Nixon didn’t send his henchmen to round up he’s enemies, but it sure seems like what he did do got his tit in a ringer. this is a coup. damn you for making me use run on sentences here, Bob.

He is who they are? https://amp-businessinsider-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.businessinsider.com/barack-obama-michelle-obama-net-worth-2018-7?amp_js_v=a2&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQCKAE%3D#aoh=15714303281206&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s tried to link the article about bill and Hillary at a couple hundred mill but got bored.

Did it hurt when they put the leaches on Grampa?? ?

You've managed to spin a tale that starts with a defective thermocoupler, a hot single mom in a tasteful tube top and cutoff shorts heroically trying to save her child, a quick response by first responders while you are recklessly drinking shots of tequila out of the belly buttons of Mexican waitresses and evolves into a cautionary tale of the 911 system? In or about 2005, my son was choking on a piece of candy. I called 911, requested assistance but specificied neither fire nor police, and continued working trying to clear the obstruction. Well, we cleared his airway (or perhaps he just had an overload of chocolate and saliva) and all was well. The 911 system took the first responders to the wrong address, and about 30 minutes later they called to inquire where we lived. I shared my thoughts on the service provided, forcefully, and suggested they needed to do better, aggressively. Nearly 15 years later, I'd follow exactly the same process, though I'd be clear on where exactly the first responder would need to respond to. Sometimes luck is a good thing. True, I would take a chance that the individual who came out would not want to cleave my skull with an axe, or sneak into my backyard and fire upon me as I stood in my kitchen. Imo, however, the rewards outweigh the risk, and it's not even close. It's been estimated there are approximately 240m 911 calls per year, and I'm sure even you would agree that the vast majority do not end up as the horrible incident in Texas ended. Finally, your last paragraph about GGV (Government Gone Wild!) seems to be the argument that gun rights advocates offer when pointing to the need for personal ownership of firearms. I'll consider that. Oh--and I haven't seen anyone blaming the victim, where did you see that?

I think the lesson here is to slow walk the response to phone calls. Settle down, take some time, use the loudspeaker from the relative safety of the car. This will remove any confusion from the process, and keep both the public and the police safe. Also, the media will be able to accurately report on a story instead of running with the most inflammatory version possible.

Maybe. Trump though, is the wild card. I have no doubt the old adage of “mutually assured destruction” keeps a lot of dirty laundry hidden from the American people. I believe that Trump views this as exceptionally personal, and having not cut his teeth in the political realm, isn’t necessarily too concerned one way or the other what the collateral damage is. in addition, Barr seems quite perturbed with the swamp and I think he’s willing to kick a major player in the nuts with steel toed boots. At some point, I think a major player or two gets taken down. I think the reputation of several other players is tarnished, but a deal struck to minimize the real damage. Personally, I think Obama is up to his ears in scandalous behavior including trying to undo the election results of 2016. I think the analysis will be he is too big a fish to fry, and even if he was vulnerable, there’s a whole lot of downside to going after him too hard. then again, I often think that there really is just one major political power in the country, and photos like thus are why. Maybe you are right.

I spoke to a vet today, unrelated to the politics of the day. He volunteered how “amazing” his recent visits to the local VA have been the last couple years. Quite a change from years past, he said.

In any thread...holy crap. Thank God he took time off from terrorizing ordinary citizens to save one.

What does this mean? You wrote it on the 15th of October.

No, I think it's pretty clear it's an advance copy of the defense lawyer's summation before the jury. British. Possum. Swerved. Small road. Trauma. The British are obviously the next disenfranchised people on the list. FREE THE BRITS FREE THE BRITS FREE THE BRITS

Ah, thanks. Didn’t know ant of that. You can always go home again, but a bit of humility and introspection goes a long way.

He received in excess of 60 million votes, all from people wise enough to know his tax returns were irrelevant. Didn’t matter one way or the other, wouldn’t change anything. But now, of course, the opponent is seeking to rewrite the rules, and use every trick in the book to grab his returns. Big govt run amok. Falls right in line with Russiagate, Obstructiongate and ukraineamania. Let’s see how it plays out in the next election—when served up with a healthy dose of declassification of files targeting the enemy.

Or does it?? I’m not going to sleep tonight, that’s for sure.

Ok, now I need to know. Why would jb not make the wall of fame in his former high school? I don’t know much about him, but given that he’s one of the most recognizable names on the entire planet, I’d think he’d qualify. I mean if the guys from nickleback went there, or Alan Thicke is an alum he’d have to wait, but at face value it seems like he’d probably be more famous than the science teacher with the lazy eye who monitored the school dance/hoedown.

That one actually made me laugh pretty hard. It’s like a riddle that I feel like I can solve but it’s just....out......of...reach. I’ve tried rearranging the letters but can only come up with MONO BUT SHOWS PROMISE and ONO’S BUT SHOWS IROMSE and I don’t know what IROMSE means. It’s maddening.

What a horrible story. The officer should answer criminally as the law provides. On the other hand, some would consider it good news that the resistance is fighting back against the "jack booted govt thugs" in a consistent, methodical fashion at the rate of about 1 per week killed. I just sampled a few. https://abcnews.go.com/US/police-officer-shot-parking-garage-maryland-search-suspect/story?id=66261022 https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/01/11/us/female-police-officer-killed/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fduckduckgo.com%2F https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2019/08/14/6-philadelphia-police-officers-shot-in-philadelphias-nicetown-tioga-section-officials-say/ I don't know how a person who is a cop would ever trust, well, anyone who isn't a cop. *just in case my sarcasm was not clear, I think that Law enforcement officers across the country are under assault from politicians, members of the media and certainly from bad people in general. For every police officer who $%#@s something up there are tens of thousands doing a job most people simply could not do.

“Old from Jamestown” implies you sat across from Lucille Ball at William S. Gunner Elementary. You’re just on the younger side of elderly.

This game seems awfully difficult for you to win, but I’m sure we can get you an achievement certificate just for trying! No, Rudy Giuliani is not the correct answer. Keep trying, and really, solid start. You’re doing great!

Always assume there is a 5 when adding or subtracting numbers under 10. It’s a prime. Pretty much learn that day one in home school.

Justice-involved persons.

There is so much wrong here. Not so much about Harris and political blathering, but Cuomo's tweet starts with "PLEASE READ"? What else can one do with the written word? It screams that hes terrified he'll lose his job for what he said. One minute he's Tony Soprano, the next he's Barney Fife.
