    Isn’t that just special @ 528, a pathetic, trollish, upcoming IG report deflection. So what are the odds that jerry the nads will be better or worse than schiff for brains? Likely no different and it will have no ratings and also likely to continue repelling independent voters! SWEET!

    They say if you don’t like Schifflips, you are really going to hate Nadler…..
    Here’s that video going around (from Drudge) about the Chi-coms interrogating a man for criticizing the police on social media. Disturbing. Like I could see that happening here. Critizing the New Green Deal, ad infinitum. One thing about the Left is clear: they are always fighting liberty to get to achieve totalitarianism. They are constantly fighting against the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th Amendments, and the 9th and 10th. It gets in their way.

    In response, Mike Bloomberg weights in on China.
    “Bloomberg: Yes, they are, but they’re now moving plants away from the cities. The Communisty Party wants to stay in power in China, and they listen to the public. When the public says I can’t breathe the air, Xi Jinping is not a dictator; he has to satisfy his constituents or he’s not going to survive.
    Hoover: He’s not a dictator?
    Bloomberg: No, he has a constituency to answer to.
    Hoover: He doesn’t have a vote. He doesn’t have a democracy. He’s not held accountable by voters.
    Bloomberg: If his advisers gave him —
    Hoover: Is the check on him just a revolution?
    Bloomberg: You’re not going to have a revolution. No government survives without the will of the majority of its people”
    “It may be difficult to discern the logic of Bloomberg’s apologia for Xi. But it’s quite easy to posit a logical reason for Bloomberg to spew illogical apologies for the Communist Party: The billionaire has vast financial interests in China, and those interests have allegedly compromised his civic-minded endeavors in the past. In 2013, the New York Times reported that Bloomberg News had killed an investigation that had threatened to upset Chinese officials”

    Man, just think of how much more he could do beyond banning 16oz sodas. If Mike Bloomberg was ruler of the world…

    The IG Report. Rumors are flying. I still don’t have a lot of faith in Horowitz. He just looks at individual FBI employees’ actions. Remember the IG Report on how they handled the Hillary e-mail probe? Horowitz said this action was wrong (or questionable), this action violated the Handbook, this action in and of itself was biased, this individual text or e-mail was political or extremely biased…. but when you put all the pieces of biases, violations, and grey areas together in its totality, the FBI’s actions were not political, lol.
    Let the rumors fly.
    “It is important to note that the IG report from Horowitz — who will testify in front of Congress next week — is separate from the criminal investigation that U.S. Attorney John Durham is conducting on the origins of the Russia investigation.”

    WINNING: Ahead of Summit, NATO Agrees to Re-Balance Nations’ Contributions, Slash the U.S. Share. Of course, Euros “agreed” to lower their carbon emissions, too, but didn’t.

    Donald Trump……is there nothing he can’t do!

    “That action must be powerful and wide-ranging. After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fuelled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities”
    The mask comes off. Purty good writin’ for a 16 year old though, makes you wonder.
    Short version: It was never about the environment.

    “I ask the guy if he just wasn’t a fan of Biden’s and he says “who?” I say the former VP. The man, who farms in the Missouri Valley says he’s never heard of Joe Biden”.

    I find it troubling in this day and age that a man might not know the comedy genius that is Gaffemaster Joe!

    President Donald Trump said that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) is a “deranged human being.”
    No that’s not “deranged”. this is deranged, making fun of people with disabilities. Trump has set new standards.

    Given all of Adam Schiff’s disabilities, you might have something there.

    PaulE 906am – Paul, you guys continue going after the low-hanging fruit on Trump. Why don’t you instead take on something more meaningful to Americans? – your assertions that tax rates don’t affect economic behavior, or ‘border walls don’t work’, or more regulations encourage commerce and entrepreneurial activity, or capitalism has created all the world’s ills, or bigger government taking on a bigger share of the economy is better, or people are indifferent to living among others more like themselves, or … .
    There are so many things you guys believe in that you should really attempt to substantiate instead of displaying your ongoing spasms of TDS.
