But then watch them like a hawk, lest they spit in your drink or your dish.

If that's the case, I suspect they don't want it getting out that he was "catch and release(d)". Doesn't bode well for liberal policy makers. BTW, being an old Chicago boy myself, there's a reason they called Belushi's character in The Blues Brothers "Joliet Jake".

It is in respect to what the voters think about the partisan political prosecutions going on. Every time, his polling numbers go up. And I think the case itself is going to be a much bigger deal than the MSM media arm of the Dem Party is predicting. You guys really need to start reading the right wing stuff. If only to know what the enemy is thinking. Lack of curiosity is not a virtue.

Accepting gratuities from him is illegal. Plane tickets and cruises...

More than that... All the Trumpers who were coerced into pleading guilty and testifying in return for leniency, may not have to testify. Immediately after the judge rules the guy can't get a fair trial with her at the helm, their lawyers will be filing appeals. Then, the lawsuits will start.

I don't sit in those rooms. But when I see such a tightly choreographed administration release a statement claiming Iran is probably going to kill Americans (direct or by proxy), I don't think it's nothing. They made that release for a reason. They're priming us to accept war.

So that means she's guilty of conflict of interest and he's stealing his ex wife's money. What a team...

I think the Supreme Court just handed Trump the White House when they allowed the Biden Admin to cut Texas' razor wire on the border. Now, voters know that the only way to protect the border is a change in the WH. All that congress is negotiating is how much money they're gonna spend on processing all the illegals faster. https://dailycaller.com/2024/01/22/supreme-court-allows-biden-admin-to-remove-texas-border-wire/ Of course, the SC may also take the WH back, depending on how some of the partisan court cases go.

You may be right. But I got the sense that they were gauging the pro-Palestinian protests and polling numbers to make sure there wouldn't be too high a political price to pay for actually defending troops. To answer your question about minions, they're the people whose sole job is getting their guy into power and keeping him in power, no matter how much it hurts Americans. They'd gladly see a war with Iran (or anyone else) if it kept their guy in the White House. They seem to be beating the war drums. https://dailycaller.com/2024/01/22/biden-admin-american-troops-iran-houthis-middle-east/ Edit: Minions are also the ones claiming the border is secure...

There's a name I haven't heard in years. I always thought she was smart and competent. But my opinion of her always had a "guilt by association" bent to it, with her being associated with the warmongers that fooled us back into Iraq. Has she redeemed herself?

I miss the old days of TVF when I could hover over (or click?) the emojis to see who sent them. Nowadays, there's a few forums where I consider scrunchy faced emojis a badge of honor. As a personal policy, I only use the "like" emoji. Not worth the negative energy to choose between the scrunchy faces.

My only objection to his military action was the number of unanswered attacks before he finally pulled the trigger. Seemed that he was waiting for the polls to tell him when it was acceptable to defend our troops. Right or wrong, it looked to me that he was more concerned with the votes than taking care of troops.

I was almost expecting a bolt of lightning. Of course, at the time the receipts weren't in about pay scale discrepancies, so the rant gets better and better each time new info is revealed and exposes more fibs. BTW, I can't post a link, but you may want to Google "Georgia state senate special committee " Case LC 47 2726 It could get interesting in about a week.

I, on the other hand, think that Repub women (as a constituency) are smart enough to know when they're being pandered to. And they want the best candidate, male or female, black, white or brown. DEI has been taking it in the shorts since the 2020 election. Only appeals to Dem wimmuns now. And they wouldn't vote for Trump no matter who he chooses.

And perhaps not lie about it, in church of all places...

It's not just that case. It's all the cases that have already been adjudicated. And the ones that haven't started yet. It's all spilt milk, and simply removing her isn't going to be adequate. There's going to be appeals and lawsuits for decades. I suspect they're going to have to dismiss a lot of the cases and start all over.

Just out of curiosity, what year did that happen?

I don't know. I'm kinda glad the gub'ment stands in the way of infanticide and child molesting. The difference of opinion is when the rights of the infant begin. Generally, Repubs just seem to feel that human rights begin earlier in the womb.

I'm not a Biden fan at all, but I don't think he's the one that will light the spark. His minions, absolutely. They have no moral compass. It'll be just like the neocons leading W and Colin Powell to war. I still think both of those guys were decent, moral men. But they got schnookered by the people surrounding them. (who all should have ended up in prison) Just like Biden will. So a hot war on some front in this election year wouldn't surprise me a bit. Question is, which front and how bad?

The wife needs to get better legal advice, she’s being played by her coconspirators. Are you kidding? It's a genius move. She probably has lefty operatives lining up to offer her the big bucks to go away. May even dwarf the $650K her ex has been paid so far. I am kinda curious, though. Being the DA and having all kinds of staff charged with the actual day to day (like her boyfriend), why is it that Fani even needs to be at the trial? Unless, of course, she's really in it for career advancement. I'd say this debacle takes some wind out of those sails. May even end her up in the hoosgaw.

See.... Here's a Democrat that gets it. Dean Phillips, a presidential candidate. Of course, his unifying tone is why the Dem elite won't let him get anywhere... That, and the fact that he won't bow down to the narrative that Biden is the bestest thing since sliced bread. (Edit: Oh, and the narrative that Trumpsters are the scum of the earth and shouldn't be allowed to vote) “Last night I saw a Trump rally outside of mine, I walked up to the line of people a mile long and I simply said hello. I was met with 50 people going to the Trump rally who were friendly, hospitable, thoughtful, some who said they voted for Barack Obama. Some said they were Bernie Sanders supporters. About half of whom had never been to a Trump event before. So for everybody watching right now, Donald Trump is on a big mission to win and Joe Biden is going to get creamed. And I just wish Democrats would wake up and ensure that at least we give it our best shot because right now I’m afraid we are deluded into a nightmare.” https://dailycaller.com/2024/01/22/biden-challenger-dean-phillips-says-president-going-to-get-creamed-says-party-is-deluded-to-think-otherwise/

My recommendation would be for him to get a top notch speech and debate coach in the meantime. I'm a big fan of what he's done in Florida, but he's not ready for the big campaign. He's too wooden. I think he'd do a good job, but he can't get past the interview.

In December, 2020, Texas filed a Bill of Complaint at the Supreme Court to nullify the electoral votes of 4 swing states because of irregularities in the way the votes were collected and counted. 126 congressmen filed an amicus brief supporting the Texas complaint. 17 other states filed amicus briefs supporting the Texas complaint, which required hundreds of state politicians to approve the briefs. The Texas complaint listed a few dozen of the irregularities and it’s worth a read, as are the amicus briefs files by 126 congressmen and 17 states. TX vs Supreme Court filing.pdfTexas vs Amicus.pdf Contrary to the prevailing narrative that the Texas complaints were baseless and therefore "debunked", the Supreme Court simply refused to take up the case, claiming only that Texas had no standing. They specifically noted that they did not consider the facts of the case. So the idea that Trump, out of the blue and of his own accord, decided to “steal an election” is ludicrous at best. As is the idea that he was the first candidate to ever propose alternate electors in case the courts found that some of the votes were illegally cast. Of course, if you choose a blue enough venue and a TDS AG, you could convict him of using too much product in his hair... Hundreds of other elected officials agreed that the election was flawed. And to this day, there are cases winding through the courts, many of which have found that there were illegalities. Too late, of course, for the 2020 election. https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/texas-v-pennsylvania/

Are any of those indictments by Republican leaning DA's, AG's, or prosecutors? Or in venues that historically vote Repub?

Maybe, though I wouldn't call him racist. But we knew that about Trump going in. That's why I was not a fan when he ran in 2016. I often referred to him as a despicable human being. Then I watched him as president and watched what's happened since then and I support him over whoever the Dem elites will be running. Rand Paul's right. Haley is the candidate of the warmongers and the globalists. If this was 20 years ago, we'd call her a closet neocon.
