Congress is getting on with business

[astonmartin708]

Since we can't ask a dead person, my opion is that dead is dead. That wasn't your initial question. The answer is you have no intest IN MY OPINION. Dead people also don't watch the Super Bowl either.

Huh? I wasn’t worrying about the votes on the outcome of the election, but more the philosophical idea of should someone’s opinion count after they’ve passed on? I was initially thinking that maybe their vote should be maintained as they’re probably old and they have had quite a few years to observe and make informed decisions, but then I thought, it might not be an old person who died. So, maybe their vote just should automatically be thrown out, no matter how informed and well thought out their vote may or may not have been.

dems want to lower the voting age to 16. Most 16 year olds are uninformed, nieve and not interested in politic, as opposed to the older more informed voters who get their political information from late night tv and cnn.

Yeah this isn’t true. The voting age to 16 thing hasn’t been a hot item for years if not far more than a decade.

Where did those "Defense Attorneys" come from? I only saw the last one. He kept swaying like a tree in a wind storm and put his water bottle cap on his head three times. Rumor has it the first one kept going off on tangents. But that didn't have much to work with except Senate votes. They say Trump was mad, tell him to go into the bathroom and look in the mirror.

I think it was some sort of religious thing with having a head covering while taking a drink? He should just wear a yamulke next time. He would look a lot less like an insane person.

 

[TUMe]

Yes, I learned this morning that in his religion you don't eat or drink without head covering to remind you everything comes from God. I don't know if all Jews do that or just some groups.

I will still say his swaying back and forth was distracting.

 

[astonmartin708]

It took the house 76 pages to parce trump's words, that caused a riot?

It took Trump 5 years and thousands of tweets to foment a movement that would attack congress at his behest. I think 76 pages of summary is sparse to summarize and explain his transgressions and how his prolonged activities effected the events of that day

Unfortunately for the Dems, they have awakened the sleeping giant. As an outsider looking in, IMO the Republicans have been asleep. They weren’t actively involved at the local grass roots levels of politics like the Dems and were simply out hustled. Now that the Dems are in control, the fear porn the Dems have levied on Republicans via threatening them with gulags, reprogram, censoring, losing their jobs, demonizing white males, labeling ALL as white supremacist, physical harm, and socially ostracizing them IMO will be disastrous. This is America and the will of the people Dem or Republican, will not be easily broken. I bet my last penny that Republicans won’t go out as easily as the Jews did in Germany. Look around! They are forming peaceful movements all over the country and strategically eliminating one by one all Republican politicians who go against their will. I believe we will look back in history years, decades from now and this time will be remembered as the great awakening when the Dems foolishly opened Pandora’s box and it devoured them. Wait and see!

 

[astonmartin708]

Well said!!

I am a life long Republican, and proud of it. I'm getting damn tired of hearing that I am the root of all the problems because I am an old white guy.

Dems have done a good job of stereo typing reps as bad people, and the party leaders have let it happen.

You're not the root of all evil because you're a white guy. You're just an ass who supports bigger asses who are actually evil.

We don't need to stereotype someone like you, you do it for yourself. When you always tow the party line, good bad or ugly, you leave no evidence to the contrary that you don't care about what goes on in this country as long as it benefits you. It doesn't matter if people break into the capitol and kill 55 out of 100 senators as long as the 45 that live are yours. You'll still defend the ~45 traitors and their traitor leader until you croak.

 

[shon46]

Thanks for your uneducated assessment of me. My wife, who knows me, would disagree 100%. But in a discussion if you are losing to the facts, deflect and demean the opponent.

Oh by the way, she is a hard core Democrat.

😂

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Cancel culture by the dems is your bitch.

Interesting.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Truth hurts.

 

[shon46]

Truth hurts.

Acting like they aren’t coming for you too doesn’t somehow change reality! Your best bet is to bow down to them now and hope you are spared when the purge begins 😂

[astonmartin708]

Congress is sending more covid checks.
Why in the hell are prisoners, illegals, and people already receiving welfare getting one.

Did the illegals file income taxes?

 

[astonmartin708]

No.

Actually the stimulas checks should only go to people who were a legal employed taxpayer as of 1/1/2020 and lost their job or income due to covid.

Why? Is it really an economic stimulus then?

I thought you were all for people getting their tax money back.

 

[lawpoke87]

Are we excluding stimulus checks to those who paid no federal income tax?

 

[shon46]

Why? Is it really an economic stimulus then?

I thought you were all for people getting their tax money back.

Are you kidding me! You have “AMERICAN”families literally starving to death in our country every day and you really want to try to justify giving “ILLEGALS” money? Illegals!!!!!!! Illegals!!!!! You probably pass homeless people everyday who need that money to survive but you want to give that money to illegals? What is wrong with you? Are you serious? This is like a drug addict buying drugs with their last dollar when people in your own house are starving and walking around with ragged clothes. You don’t put others before your own.......Period!

 

[astonmartin708]

6 week in to the Democrats rein
Gas prices are up 50%. So much for energy independence
Anyone can vote for anyone anytime anywhere, early and often.
The border is open. Come on down. Or is it up?
We are giving everybody money. Earned or not.
Profit is bad. Companies should operate in the red. Tax the rich
We are all going to die in 6 years to climate change.
About 50% of the voters were wrong and and need to repent
Cnn still reports opinion and unsubstantiated sources
And old white guys are the problem
Boys who think they are girls can play girl sports. So much for title IX
Record heat is climate change. change. cold is climate chsangee. And I did not cause it
Free money for all.. Capitalism pays for it.

1. Gas prices were at historic lows already because of covid driving down demand. Of course gas prices were going to go up as we begin to open up. The traditional bastion of conservative independence, Texas, didn't help things when their power grid went to hell. (Tell me again how prepared they are to secede!)
2. Ridiculous assertion.
3. Ridiculous assertion.
4. Ridiculous assertion.
5. Profit is good when its shared relatively equitably between the people who actually allowed it to be gained. And yes, tax the rich.
6. We are not all going to die. Just some of us... gradually. As freak storms continue to give us whipsaw the climate in summer and winter we will have increased property damage and disasters.
7. True. If you don't like being called a Neanderthal, don't act like one. 'Snowflake'
8. Fox News still straight up lies during 90% of their broadcast... what else is new.
9. Ridiculous assertion. It's funny that you feel so persecuted as an old white guy. Imagine if they made you start sitting on the back of the bus or making you drink from different water fountains.
10. What is a 'girl sport'?
11. That's the meaning of climate change. And, yes, you did. We all did.
12. There's no such thing as free money. We will all be owned by China someday.

Buyers remorse is never a good feeling. These policies being pushed are crazy. You are left but not that far left. You don’t have to defend what you don’t stand for. Eventually there will be no more excuses to give. We can all now clearly see. On this current path, unless we change course, this headed for disaster. Oh and why is it they want to revamp who controls the codes? Could it be related to why they won’t allow him to answer questions?

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Probably a good time to revamp the codes. We've seen two separate but equal elected officials we might not trust with sole ownership of the codes. One because he was crazy, the other because he might be gently dipping into senility.

 

[lawpoke87]

I’m not sure it’s all that gentle. Didn’t think it was possible to have someone worse than Trump at explaining policy. I was wrong. How is Trump and this guy the best the US can do?

Say what you will but the last guy was the first president in a Long Time to try to end the endless wars. In six weeks, we have reversed that trend completely. You are fully entitled to your opinion on personality but facts on competency cannot be debated.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Oh yeah shon's all for his foreign policies, that cinches it. We definitely should have altered the codes for him.(His name rhymes with Hump.)

Glad dr Shon has accurately diagnosed early signs of dimensia. Referring to two different presidents above and below such that we can take away your riotous response. I'd go with the aliens thing instead, that's always a laugh riot.

I'll let u muddle over the interpretation. I did misspell a plural which I corrected though. I guess I'll put in a clue of which one referred to whom in the edit.

In regards to foreign policies, I absolutely fully support any administration Thats policies put America first. Look no further than the crisis at the southern border, the fossil fuel policies undoing our ability to be self reliant, rejoining the WHO and paying the lions share while China and Russia pay pennies compared to us, rejoining the Paris climate when China doesn’t even start participation for another 10 years but we pay the lions share, not negotiating a deal with Iran before the sanctions were removed, or the revocation of an executive order without the creation of any interim protections to protect our national power grids against China and Russia. I can literally go on for hours and it’s only been 7 weeks.
Is your argument that you believe the new and old guy weren't mentally capable of handling the responsibility of the codes? I stand by what I said before the new guy even won the nomination. I saw lots of similarities in behavior and speech between my late grandmother who had dementia and the new guy. I hope I am wrong but I think it’s obvious that there are serious challenges to overcome

 

[TU_BLA]

Its been 6 years of accusations, collusion, bribery, what ifs, tax evasion, investigations, possible indictments.
bogus documents, spying, paid prostitutes, bank fraud, tweets and left wing trump obsession has found nothing.

There is no there, there.

Yes he is an a-hole.
What you see is what you get. Unlike most in congress that hide behind their pious rhetoric.

give it a rest.

You weren't singing the same tune with Hillary and her emails or Benghazi. And there's way more evidence that Trump was involved in some shadier crap in the WH. Quid pro quo on Ukraine...just because GOP partisan hacks chose not to remove him from office doesn't mean the evidence wasn't there or very clear on what happened. And there's way more evidence he was involved in the Jan 6th debacle as well as helping orchestrate an attempt at overthrowing the elected gov't by using the "alternate set of electors" submitted on behalf of at least 5 states. There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution that says anything like that is even possible. I expect that shoe to drop around Oct. 1st and a good number of GOP reps who were involved (Jordan, Gaetz, MTG) to get absolutely dragged and then abandoned by Trump just in time for them to get destroyed in their elections in November.

Who is it that is going to do this dragging and have the desired effect in the election?

 

[lawpoke87]

Anything released by the Dems weeks before midterms will be viewed as desperate partisan theater. Trying to salvage the coming disaster.

 

[TU_BLA]

all the investigations, against Trump and hrc were conducted by the Dems.

If you believe that you're a bigger moron than you portray yourself on this site

 

[TU_BLA]

which republican lead an investigation?

Trey Gowdy led both the Benghazi and email hearings in Congress and he was relentless about it despite there being no evidence she acted to subvert the government or her job. She was admonished for the private email server issue for being careless basically...which we are finding is a lot more common for people with clearances and is not isolated to HRC. If I remember correctly the CIA and NSA both tried to get Trump to stop using his burner phone to tweet because it wasn't secure.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

right. "i dont know", "i dont remember", "what difference does it matter"

So you retreat to a different nonsensical point when you are proven wrong.

Same for Ivanka and Jerrod's use of their private phones for government business.
