You can't talk about grifters, swindlers and frauds hijacking conservatives without including a discussion of W's watch. While I think he's an honorable man, he made the mistake of trusting his father's neocons who he really didn't understand like Bush the elder did. They bamboozled him into Afghanistan to punish the Saudi terrorists (???) and into Iraq to go after WMD's that weren't there (and the neocons knew it). His Father was a product of the CIA, so he knew how dangerous they were. W was a lamb to slaughter, taking the USA down with him. It's been 20 years of war and $Trillions of wealth transfer as a result. Clinton left with a budget surplus. (And need I remind you that he was a lying monger?). But a pretty good president, if you base your judgment on results and not feewings.

Tied to the civil rights movement, emboldened and funded by the Welfare State, voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury. And politicians figured out that keeping the economy in a constant state of turmoil and decline would scare the voters into doing whatever the state wanted. Then, they decided that Corporations are people, too and opened the floodgates to massive donations to curry favor. It's pretty well hooped unless someone comes in and cleans it up.

Is it really that simple? Not a loaded question, because I haven't smoked since high school, before nicotine patches were a thing. I took it up one winter, and gave it up next spring when the snow melted and I was sucking wind on my bicycle runs through the mountains... Are nicotine patches available in Thailand, especially in the airports? And any observations about Zyn Nicotine pouches? Again, just curious... Edit: I'd add that years ago, I started carrying caffeine tablets for those times when a coffee was hard to arrange. Also, because that plus aspirin eased my frequent migraines. Haven't had more than one migraine a year in decades, but I still carry the caffeine.

I think that the guy wouldn't be in the hot seat if he leaned liberal. He'd be a useful tool, like so many other corrupt officials. Like the guy in the White House, for example.

By the time this passes through the news cycle, I'll know what the American left, the American right, the Indians, the Qataris, the Brits, the Russkies, and probably the Chinese think of it. Maybe even more, depending on how the search of terms goes. You'll know what some registered Democrats posing as "journalists" want you to know. Who do you think will be easier to manipulate?

Even if they are the enemy, and I may vehemently disagree with their analysis, there is value in knowing where they're coming from. Imagine an intelligence agency that doesn't understand their adversary. Lack of curiosity is not a virtue. Neither is pride in deliberate ignorance.

I've never encountered a group so proud to be ignorant.

I'll bet you probably don't even know how RT and the Russkies have responded to the allegations. That won't show up on MSDNC or CNN, ever...

RT is one of about 60 sites in my NEWS bookmark folder. You'd be surprised how many times they're hours or days ahead of the MSM. Mostly, it's a timezone thing. But sometimes the castrated US 4th estate takes days to catch up, when they just can't hide something any more, with the interwebs being what they are. Ignore the opposition at your own peril. It's always good to know what the bad guys are thinking.

Holding out Wikipedia as a reliable source 'splains a lot... That's like holding out Joy Behar or Whoopi.

Lame deflection. Just saying, it's confusing. Especially sitting here where YouTube is blocked. Which project 25 are you referring to? The inside job, or the outside job?

A) That's like the pot calling the kettle black. B) It's been going on since Compuserve, AOL and Netscape... Why do you figure they always catch them out in the months before an election? C) Did 51 intelligence experts attest to the validity of the report?

Yeah. How many times has Newsom said he's not gonna run?

You need to get your dastardly plots clear. There's Project 2025 from the nice folks at Heritage, and there's Project 25 which is about using the 25th Amendment as it was intended. That would be an inside (Dem Elite) job.

There's a ton of people that should be praying Trump wins. Because then he'll be too busy being President to file defamation lawsuits for claiming he's a convicted felon (he's not, and that has caused reputational damage) and that he's a convicted sex offender (he's not, and...damage). He could end up making $billions on settlements. It could be like a money spitting assembly line.

The Biden cultists won't admit that Joe is not fit to hold office. It's kind of a giveaway, isn't it? Even after recent speaking events have proven he's unable to string together cognitive thoughts, they still think he should control the nuclear codes when he's not napping. God only knows who's in control the other 20 hours a day when he is napping.

He does have shifty eyes. They've named the man. Time to find the crime... Lefties Democrats, defending democracy. Going after anyone that stands in their way to power.

Who are the Repubs? Perhaps the "cages" that Obama built were more to protect the kids than to torture them. Now, Biden's losing track of tens (hundreds?) of thousands of them. Pretty much inevitable when you don't manage the border and easy money (BidenBucks) are involved.

Unburdened by everything she's screwed up in the past.

Step 1: Identify a Russkie bot farm Step 2: Claim that they're supporting Trump Step 3: Rinse and repeat 4 years later, and 4 years later.

FAA orders inspections of 2,600 Boeing 737 airplanes over oxygen mask issue https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/08/faa-orders-inspections-of-2600-boeing-737-airplanes-over-oxygen-mask-issue.html https://www.aeronewsjournal.com/2024/07/faa-mandates-inspections-for-boeing-737.html I wonder how much they saved changing the glue... Boeing has since returned to using its original adhesive for all new deliveries to ensure the generators remain firmly in place, as intended.

It varies state by state. With no opinion on my part, here are some details about Ohio... In 2009, Ohio changed the deadline for a qualified party to certify the names of its presidential and vice-presidential nominees from 75 days before the general election, to 90 days before the general election. Now the problem has arisen for 2024, because the Democratic convention is August 19-22... It says the Ohio legislature may pass a bill changing the deadline. If it does not, the Democratic Party would have an easy lawsuit to strike down the deadline. https://ballot-access.org/2024/04/06/for-the-third-presidential-election-ohio-deadline-for-parties-to-certify-their-presidential-nominees-is-again-a-problem-for-one-of-the-major-parties/ https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/06/politics/biden-ohio-ballot-election-conflict/index.html

You may be right. I just parroted the local news. But my main point is that the OP left out important details, to support a narrative. Like the fact that he's 29 and she's 14. That they met on Grindr, as opposed to some random act by a complete stranger jumping out of the bushes to attack a trans person. Whether he's gay or not, and whether she's trans or not (and how far along in the transition), hooking up a 14 year old to a 29 year old is just wrong. But not a hate crime. It's a pedo crime.

What will be truly interesting is to see how the Dems will contort the election laws to get their anointed one on ballots in states where the filing deadline has already passed. If they can extend statutes of limitation to allow a lawsuit from 30 years ago (or maybe 29 or 31 years, the plaintiff can't remember what year she was raped), surely they can get past any pesky election laws. Or maybe they just waited too long, and are stuck with a guy that most Americans can clearly see is unfit for the task.

You've provided a link to Jack Reed's official site, a Dem senator from RI, who has parroted an article in The Atlantic that claims Trump said something. No link to the original video of Trump actually saying something, with the full context under which he said it? Like they claimed he threatened the US with a bloodbath, when he was actually referring to the US auto industry. Leaving out the context. So lefties have been throwing around the "threatened us with a bloodbath" narrative ever since. Try harder. It should be easy to find a firsthand video of Trump himself, what with 10x as many journalists registered as Dems than Repubs.
