They don't see these people as a God the way this MAGA cult sees Trump. I think if that many on the right would agree with you and say the same thing about politicians on the right (including Trump) if it were Biden getting indicted. It's easy to make your statement when yours isn't the only one getting indicted. Personally, I think it's fully politically motivated, but I am ok if it takes Trump off of the chess board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s like most years it won’t rain again here in Southern California until sometime this coming October. (That’s always hard for WNYers to wrap their heads around.) But for now it looks like Ireland around here. Everything is super green. Last year I visited the SF area (where I lived for 19 years) in February. Two days before I left it rained for about 30 minutes around Elk Grove (near Sacramento). That was the first time it had rained for 40 days. The first winter I was there I said "It doesn't feel like Christmas. There's no snow and everything is green. Someone who grew top there said "That's what Christmas is like." The green hills turn brown by May and stay that way and very dry until October. Edited March 31, 2023 by Wacka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did that here they’d have you committed. 😉 The place has turned into a dump over the last many years but the weather is wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that about just it on the head. There’s parts of it that have merit. Somebody had to do something about China. Our trade deals do suck. And I get (to a very limited extent) people in flyover country complaining about foreign aid when we don’t have, for example, clean drinking water in Flint. But the victimization, jingoism, backwardness with respect to women and the environment, dog whistle racism, and wistfulness for a foreign policy of the 1930s just misses the mark. This country is rich in part because we exploit overseas labor. It’s the truth. And these dopes here who frittered away their youth drinking and smoking and indulging now pine for the days of manufacturing jobs and coal-based energy. It’s over, and they don’t get it. And those are our “victimized” MAGA republicans who whine and blame everyone but themselves for their predicaments in life. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Democrats and their social justice crowd can't even define what a woman is and think men menstruate. I've asked, show me one biological man that bleeds from "his" privates every 28 days but nobody as of yet has found the guy. I'm not saying you buy into that insanity, but you got to admit it's crazy and delusional thinking. How can you trust the judgment of people running things if they believe crap like that?

More of @ChiGoose hand waving nonsense. We only had their business partner say multiple times when interviewed that he was present with Hunter and Joe in meetings where these things were discussed. Also stated that he is more than willing to talk to the FBI and tell them what he knows. Never mind that no one wants to ask who the "big guy" is in those emails who is to get 10%. Has the FBI called Hunter and Joe's business partner Tony Bobulinski to ask him if he has evidence to support the claim?
