Mike Johnson is doing what he needs to do to keep his job. And what he needs to do to keep his job is appease the vocal MAGA Republicans (Marjorie Taylor Green, Matt Gaetz, those bozos) who have his balls in a vice on this.
Andrew, weren't YOU the one who said (back when the Republicans couldn't even elect a speaker) that you said that Kevin McCarthy was "the best man for the job?" The same Kevin McCarthy who lasted, what, a month before he was voted "off the island?" (That's a retorical question, BTW. You did say that. Because for better or worse, I remember everything). So, yeah. This is nothing. And it will amount to nothing. Just like every time they've tried it before. There IS no equivalency between the current President and the last one. The current is not perfect, to be sure, but still: a respectable public servant who has dedicated his life to working to improve this country. And your guy? Well, the word "autoritarian" comes to mind. Dictator, also. You look at people who were there, people who actually know more than you or I do, and they're all saying it. He didn't want to leave when he was voted out before. And if he gets voted in again (which at this point it seems to be about 50/50), this could very well be the last election America ever has. And if that sounds like hyperbole, well... consider the sources. People who were there. People who knew him. Not you. Not me. Sure as f*ck not Fox "News." I doubt you will (because I suspect the Internet done broke your brains!), but I would strongly recommend reading Jeffrey Goldberg's new piece for The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...p-term/676117/ That's all for now. Oh, and "Sumac." Do yourself a favor. Save your fingers from typing whatever little trite reply you were just about to write. I simply do not care what your opinion is. From what I gather, you don't even live in America, get all your information secondhand from the Internet, and are just trying to cause trouble. I wish you the best, but again: save yourself that trouble. If you want to do something worthwhile with your time, see if you can track down the book "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White. It's a very good (and very short) book about how to use the English language. Rules of grammar and whatnot. Because you're obviously a very passionate man, full of vigor and opinions, but no one will ever take them (or you) seriously with the way you write currently.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with McCarthy at all. He was voted out for no discernable reason, just for the republicans to punch themselves in the face, I guess. But who cares about speaker of the house? It's a thankless, powerless job.

The Great Party Switch is just a myth, like George Washington and the cherry tree. Oh, and if there’s one thing I do remember learning in college, it’s that the cherry tree is secretly a metaphor for Washington’s lust for virgin blood and that our first President was secretly a cannibalistic p***phile…or so a historian claims. Yeah, unfortunately that little lecture will forever be installed into my mind. But I made it out of college with my brain still intact. Can’t say the same for the others though.
Anyway, as I’ve stated before, the Democrats didn’t just automatically switch to Republicans and Republicans to Democrats as the myth claims. Since the 80’s, the northern states have been losing residents while the southern states have been gaining them, and by 1994, the South officially became red. That’s not hard to believe, considering that in this decade, so many people and companies are suddenly moving out of blue states like California and New York due to failing progressive policies and moving into red states like Texas and Florida. Also the older racist generation eventually died off, leaving more room for the younger Republican voters. The Switch was made up so that the Democratic Party could win more black votes, as LBJ wanted. But Republican or Democrat, politicians in general care only about one thing: money. The Establishment is pro-war because it fills their pockets and wallets, so they don’t care that they’re sending us and our loved ones to be blown apart or shot down. Real change starts with the community, and communities that depend on the government to fix everything will be left disappointed and even worse off than before.

Which party was it, just couple years ago, that demanded vaccine passports to enter a restaurant, travel etc, and to discriminate against the unvaccinated and deny service if they don’t “show me your papers”? Which party bans, fires, deplatforms and cancels people for “wrongthink”? Why not just accept the reality of what your party truly stands for, segregation and fascism. Btw Trump is the only former President who’s ancestors never owned slaves. There was no “party switch”, it’s still the same klan of radical leftists burning down cities, looting and destroying small businesses. They’ve just re-branded as social justice warriors. |

I mean they’re already saying things like “nobody forced you to take the vaccine” so clearly they don’t want to take responsibility for their coercive actions. Easier to just shift the blame on to someone else, like they do now with the KKK saying it is Republicans, when everyone knows that the KKK was founded by Democrats, and the left-wing riots, violence and destruction we’ve been seeing the last few years is the same klansmen behavior of the KKK, masks and all.

I really wish I could live in a universe created in my own head like Cowabungal and TurtleManiac. The denialism and straight-up gaslighting would be astounding if it weren't so commonplace since 2015.

But only after you stop typing like a schizophrenic in tiny paragraphs and let go off "Fox News" boogieman. Since it won't happen, because, you think too little about everyone else to admit they might think "bad thoughts" for themselves, without any input from propaganda, I safely can say thinks will stay as they are. Also, where I live is not significant. When it comes to self-proclaimed "elitist thinkers" like you, I have a feeling you know about regular US even less than me. And given your attitude I trust Andrew much more than you. Come to think of it: its pretty funny, how in the Western world, largely dominated by Left Message, people like you still scared of opposition, like Fox News. Reminds me of dictators who ban even tiniest newspapers for daring to speak against them, even though, they obviously have no any significant power. It tells to me, that you have no conviction in your own faith, and you need to be constantly reaffirmed that it is "valid" and "true" from others. Which means, you know you are wrong and you are being afraid, others will know it, as well. Last edited by Sumac; 12-08-2023 at 08:09 AM. |

Considering Trump's ancestors didn't move to the US until twenty years after slavery was abolished in the US (and had been illegal in most of Europe for decades prior) then this isn't particularly too surprising.

"The House Oversight Committee has been at this for years, and they have so far not been able to provide any concrete evidence that Joe Biden personally profited from his son Hunter's overseas business." - Peter Doocy, *FOX* News

Except for where they already have (yes, they have already found money transferred from China into Biden's dummy accounts). But the whole purpose to getting the impeachment inquiry approved is to then be able to not be stonewalled by the White House in their investigations, which they have continued to be.

Do you have a link to back up this claim, Andrew?
And if you do, sir, then why haven't you shared it with the Republians who are running the Impeachment Inquiry? Because, you know. According to every quote every Republican has given about the inquiry so far... none of them have found "any" crimes. Let alone this one specific claim that, apparently, no one has seen but YOU. So, again, I hope you get the information to House Speaker Mike Johnson ASAP. Thanks, man. I'm sure the Republicans will appreciate it. Since, you know. They've got NOTHING to go on so far |

“Biden did nothing wrong, there’s no evidence.”
I still don’t think this will hurt Biden; nothing can hurt him or his family.

But I thought he said he wasn't involved in any of Hunter's business affairs?

Biden won't be impeached, there is no way they can prove he had anything to do with what they claim. But people can keep dreaming. You may think he's a senile old man but he's not a criminal. He is the most genuinely kind president we have had since Carter. And no, that doesn't mean Carter was a good president necessarily.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/22/u...t-inquiry.html It's a waste of our nation's resources to even pursue this. |
