Israel bombed Iranian Embassy

[Ears and Eggs]

Us getting involved in some of these conflicts is like seeing a large brawl spill out of a BDSM club and into the street, used equipment and ripped gimp suits flying. There are literally not positive outcomes from getting involved in that and a million negative possible outcomes.

Charging Trump with 90 some odd bogus felonies while Hillary and Obama get away with murder is nothing more than political persecution in a blatant attempt to interfere with Trumps reelection, furthermore Trump did nothing wrong, it's all 3rd world weaponization of our legal system against an ex-president running for reelection and the mere fact that it's taken place is reason enough for everyone with any sense to put Trump back in office, because if an Ex-President isn't safe then nobody is safe from this criminal deep state cabal who's running our country into the ground.

Your hyperbole is nothing less than stunning. Obama and Clinton murdered no one, however Trump is pushing that he is above the law and shouldn't be held to account for his many felonies because he was president. All the while he says Biden should be prosecuted. Is he able to to put two thoughts together? It sure doesn't seem like it.

Imagine how much better it would be in america if america stopped getting involved with other countries and actually started taking care of it's citizens

Many lawmakers, including several Republicans, believe it is in our national interest, out very security, to support Ukraine against Putin's aggression. Yeah, it would be great if the world weren't so F'ed up and we could ignore the rest of the world, but that has NEVER been the case.

 

[RedCowboy]

When Chuck Schumer is on TV begging for Ukraine war funding, you know dam well that sleezy bastard is getting a big fat kickback some way somehow, because that slimeball doesn't beg on TV for nothing...... knowing nothing else about it a person can look at Schumer and say Hell NO !
Either Chucky has a big supporter in the military industrial complex or there's one that's greasing his filthy palm........ and you talk about Trump being a criminal....... our Congress is full of criminals who buy and sell influence every day, there's an entire lane at the DC airport for lobbyist bringing in travel cases full of cash, it's just every day business.

You accuse Schumer of duplicity with no more evidence than there are a lot of lobbyists out there. That is truly Trumpian of you.

 

[RedCowboy]

You are conflating 2 things I said.

Schumer gets a 10.0 on my skin crwal-o-meter and no I'm not going down the rabbit hole of how corrupt is Schumer, all the democrats and most the Republicans are corrupt and everyone knows it, for you to pretend Trump is somehow a crook amidst a field of Lilly white angels is beyond amusing, it's the same old political hit job, because democrats don't have anything to stand on with Biden.

 

[paul1598419]

I quoted verbatim an article in the Washington Post today. Those were not my words at all. It was compiled by journalists who put it together after examining polls from 2007, 2018 and the present. Don't like it? Write them and complain.

 

[RedCowboy]

Nobody cares about your anti Trump political hype, be it compiled by a room full of trained monkeys or an AI, it's the same old BS contrived for a political agenda.
People care about what's real, groceries cost way more, rent is way higher, our quality of life is less and we are basically in a proxy war headed for much worse, so it doesn't matter how many hacks write articles telling us it's raining while democrats are pissing down our backs.

 

[paul1598419]

Well, some of us really believe this is an election for the survival of our democracy. Trump's authoritarianism is the existential threat.

 

[RedCowboy]

You have it completely backwards, it's the deep state cabal behind Biden who's the existential threat, just the fact that Biden is a brain dead puppet should be enough for most voters to understand there's a serious problem, with WWIII looming and the economy in the toilet we need to at least know who our President is, but with Biden we don't even know who's in charge, but it's not Biden and it's not good.

 

[paul1598419]

Here goes the WW III warning again! Give that up. no one believes it. At least not enough to put Trump back in the White House.

Today the Arizona SC ruled that the 1864 Comstock Act which illegalized abortion took president over the law that the Arizona legislature passed in 2022 allowing abortions up to 15 weeks. This has gotten a groundswell of anger from many women and men in that state. The state AG stated she would not enforce this as it goes on the ballot this year. Nothing like a few old men telling women what they can and can't do. Arizona wasn't even a state in 1864! Women couldn't vote anywhere. What a Democratic gift!

 

[RedCowboy]

I'm for Freedom, 1st and foremost, I believe in a woman's right to choose what to do about anything dealing with her own body.

What still amazes me.... well not so much with you, because you don't have any real morals, you're anti war then you're pro war..... you're anti constitutional right then you're pro constitutional right..... you even want to call abortion a constitutional right when it's not, but even if it was you would be a hypocrite to say one right can be infringed upon but another can not because you flip flop to suit your parties agenda.

If you are pro-rights for women you won't vote for Trump. He is taking credit, LITERALLY, for the overturning of Roe v Wade. Otherwise you are just paying lip service to women's rights. I am against the U.S. going to war. We should be supporting the Ukrainians in there war against Russia because that is in our national interest.

And, after Republicans trying to make some kind of case against Hunter Biden and also his father the President of the U.S. without any success, there is Jared Kushner who has used his position in the past administration to enrich himself to the tune of $2 billion after taking the Saudis side when the American journalist was assassinated by Saudis at the embassy in Turkey. Now, there's a case that really can be prosecuted.

You can say whatever you want, but it doesn't make it so.

I do supports a woman's biological rights, however I place a much higher value on my 2nd amendment rights and I will always vote pro 2A no matter what, Trump could eat pregnant women for breakfast with bald eagles on the side, but as long as he is more pro 2A than his competitor, that is all that matters to me when it comes to my vote.
The difference is I don't pretend one right/freedom doesn't exist based on my party's agenda.

US Presidents have always been above the law, only when it comes to politics does it matter, like Nixon or Trump going after Biden and Hunters corruption in Ukraine..... speaking of Ukraine, democrats think Russia interfered with them installing Hillary, now we are in a proxy war with Russia..... co-incidence ? I think not.

We are just the worker bees, the Royality in DC is corrupt, there all corrupt and Trump is our best chance at any justice especially now that he's been targeted by the deep state, we need Trump more now than ever.

 

[paul1598419]

The deep state is still just Trump's talking point about government officials that have been going after his criminal acts. Republicans have said that Russia interfered with the 2016 election. That is not a Democratic talking point. A dozen Russians have been indicted just for that reason. The Senate released a report showing the Russian interference. That was during Trump's administration. Good luck with your 2nd A right when we no longer have a democracy and Trump is named president for life. Guns will be the first thing to go.
