You’re right.  I won’t.  Bootstraps.

Don’t you mean pardon him? Or is that just for insurrectionists (and, to be fair, Hunter Biden)?

You probably couldn't afford one either. Shouldn't throw stones.......

I could.  I just wouldn’t want one.  Not my style.

I'm retired and bought a 2021 Nissan Altima for cash last year. Still got years of $ in my 401 K that I haven't touched yet.

Lehnerd - take a deep breath and chill my man. No need for emotional accusations as we discuss stupid politics. So you apparently believe that Donald wants to improve the quality of life for people in cities through his deployment of the military. Apparently he must be a stable genius since previous presidents never felt compelled to do the same. It’s not like violence in cities is a new thing. Of course everyone wants safety. It’s all about how it is done. If he truly cared about the issue, he could meet with city leaders to listen and hear what they need. 

I'm chill like Dobie Gillis, though sorry if that came through harsh.  I wasn't looking to offer emotional accusations, I'm always troubled when certain posters on the board accuse people of being in cults, of cultish behavior, or cult-like mindsets because of fundamental disagreements on politics.  I'm certainly not suggesting that was you, Andrew🤔, this whole accusations of being in a cult thing, but I understand where you're coming from.  

 

In response to your question, I think Trump sees the opportunity to score political points by cleaning up the nation's Capitol.  Violence in cities is not a new thing, this is true.  I feel like data suggests that DC is not just some city dealing with random skater bois spraypainting business, I think it's worse than that by quite a bit.  

 

With regard to precedent, I did some quick research and cannot find a time where an administration sent the DOJ on an armed raid on the dwelling of the opposition in relation to a a former C-i-C holding classified documents.  I know there was a candidate just prior who was exceptionally careless with our nation's secret who was treated differently, and a short time after the armed raid at the former president's residence the current president was found have absconded with material and data pilfered over several decades, and of sharing secrets with a ghost writer who subsequently destroyed material potentially germane to the investigation.  That president was treated to ice cream at his favorite ice cream store. 

 

I also know there isn't a ton of precedent in one admin looking to imprison an opponent for actions that seem to be pretty common in Washington.  Hell, it's been said Bush fabricated intelligence to engage in a foreign war, Clinton committed perjury (and engaged in predation) and they're thick as thieves these days.   One guy paints at his ranch in Texas, the other guy most recently stumped for Harris. 

 

With respect to precedence, I know that post 1/6, the FBI/DOJ scoured the earth and spent extraordinary time and money looking for people--some they absolutely needed to find, some basically guilty of trespassing.  I'm not certain that's the standard in cities and towns across the country. 

 

Your suggestion about meeting with city leaders is all well and good, but that represents a stylistic approach he simply doesn't prefer to take.  Besides, city leaders seem to be the problem.

Please.  You just supported an enormous tax increase, giveaway to the rich, and spending bill.  Give me a break.  Tariffs are taxes, and you love taxing the middle class.  And spare me on China.  Your guy coddles Russia, and makes all these empty threats to China that he never truly does anything about.  

 

I don't disagree about the safety point.  But J6 was urban crime on a mass scale, and what do you do about it?  Pardon them all.  It's a joke, and MAGA has no standing to castigate others about that issue.  The hypocrisy with MAGA is stunning.  

It seems to me liberals only like complaining about taxes when:

  • They have to pay them;
  • They're complaining about people doing better than them not paying more tax

I'm all for a deep dive on how much money is spent and wasted across the board, and a recalibration downward of tax on the middle class (and pretty much everyone else).    Sadly, I cannot spare you on China--if you like your upgrades you like your upgrades,  and your own party's alignment with Russia is abundantly clear based on Russian actions when dems are in office.  Not all that long ago Barrack was looking to partner quite closely with Vlad.  

 

J6 was indeed a stain on our nation, though there were degrees of criminality that should have been addressed properly--especially from the left who seems perfectly content to put criminals back on the street as soon as possible.   I'd have preferred those accused, tried and convicted of serious crime do their time, with those overcharged (as seems to be widely agreed) revisited.  Of course, I'd have rather Biden didn't issue blanket pardons to those in the special circle of trust guilty of wrongdoing.

Lots of whataboutism from a MAGA tax and spender.

And you vote Republican.  Oy.  I hope you don’t drive it like the stereotype (flying down the thruway whilst dragging a bumper).

Interesting take from a Tax the Rich (but don't tax me!) liberal who replied to my post with 'Whatabout J6!' and 'Whatabout the Russians!'.

And I pass you sitting in your Tesla a  half mile from your home in the snow waiting for a tow because the cold drained all the juice out of your car.

I believe in paying one’s fair share.  You believe in shifting the tax burden to the middle class and hoping wealth trickles down from the super wealthy.

You’ve spent a lot of time today not talking about Epstein. You’ve lost the plot.

You have, but not hard enough. People are tuning out, at least according to CNN. You need to crank it up to 11.

The wealthy account for most of the tax revenue, how's that not fair?

You keep it up with your Epstein envy and I’ll stay in my lane about the coverup and never shall we meet.  Unless you keep on talking about the Jeffy you seem to wish you could have been.  So weird.

Some of a lot is far less than a lot of a little.
