   So your saying “O”‘s weaponization of the FED gov against his “enemies” was fine and dandy? (IRS, DOJ, FBI, NSA)

   You’re accusations agaisn’t Obamam areare long way from becomming established truth Walt. You knos that. Remember Nixons enemy list? this might refresh you.
   The official purpose, as described by the White House Counsel’s Office, was to “screw” Nixon’s political enemies, by means of tax audits from the Internal Revenue Service, and by manipulating “grant availability, federal contracts, litigation, prosecution, etc.”[5] In a memorandum from John Dean to Lawrence Higby (August 16, 1971), Dean explained the purpose of the list:
   This memorandum addresses the matter of how we can maximize the fact of our incumbency in dealing with persons known to be active in their opposition to our Administration; stated a bit more bluntly—how we can use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies.[5]
   The IRS commissioner, Donald C. Alexander, refused to launch audits of the people on the list.

   Lol. Good reason.
   He went to bed thinking about it, and he woke up thinking about it. Oh my.
   Obama made Nixon look like a Boy Scout. Absolutely no comparison. Obama went Nixon x 1,000. Trump will pardon him to heal the nation and get those dark days behind us. It’s the magnanimous thing to do. We always treat their POW’s better than they would ever treat us. It’s who we are and also who they aren’t.
   Comparing Nixon’s capers to Obama’s sedition and illicit abuse of intelligence to spy on political opponents to overturn the results of an election via Russian disinformation? ROFLMAO. And Nixon had J Edgar Hoover and still couldn’t come close to what Obama pulled. Not by a mile.
   It’s a mute point anyway. Punchy is just trying to justify voting for Biden. Good rationalization he is trying to push to pulling the Biden lever.
   ——
   Which brings up an interesting point. Now that Amy got axed from the VP short list because of her totally bobbling the ball in the Minnesota bad cop cases (bad optics) and Kamala Harris being proven to be a Dirty Cop, who will Biden pick? He will let us know in August.
   Another interesting question: Who will the Dems pick for their nominee to save them from Biden?? Gov. Cuomo looked briefly like the Dem savior from Biden, but after Cuomo bobbled the ball and killed grandma, he went from hero to zero…just like Harris.
   Who is going to resue the Dems from Biden and be their nominee in 2020?

   ‘Declassified Flynn Transcripts Contradict Key Mueller Claims Against Flynn’
   Newly released declassified transcripts of call transcripts and summaries between Flynn and Kislyak contradict key claims made against Flynn by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller
   “The transcript of the December 29 conversation, which was cited by Mueller, does not include a request from Flynn that Russia “refrain from escalating” in response to U.S. expulsions of Russian diplomats. According to the transcript, Flynn asked Kislyak for Russia’s response to be “reciprocal” so that the U.S.–not Russia–would not be forced to escalate beyond the expulsions. The transcript makes clear that Flynn fully expected Russia to respond to the situation by expelling U.S. diplomats in response to the Obama administration’s move to expel nearly three dozen Russian diplomats from the U.S., and that his primary concern was preventing a situation where the U.S. would have to escalate tensions in response to Russia.
   “Make it reciprocal,” Flynn reportedly said. “[D]on’t go any further than you have to. Because I don’t want us to get into something that has to escalate, on a, you know, on a tit for tat.”
   “I really don’t want us to get into a situation where we’re going, you know, where we do this and then you do something bigger, and then you know, everybody’s got to go back and forth and everybody’s got to be the tough guy here, you know?” Flynn continued. “We need cool heads to prevail, and uh, we need to be very steady about what we’re going to do because we have absolutely a common uh, threat in the Middle East right now.”
   “We agree,” Kislyak responded.
   Later in the conversation, Flynn again used the word “escalate” in reference not to a potential Russian response, but to what he hoped the United States would not have to do in response to Russian actions.
   “If you have to do something, do something on a reciprocal basis,” Flynn said. “And, and then, we know that we’re not going to escalate this thing[.]”

    The media’s attitude is purely adversarial, yet they act appalled that McEnany returns fire, albeit calmly, respectfully and eloquently. They uniformly dismiss this Harvard Law graduate as green and over her head, but she is remarkably polished, and it is driving them mad.
    It would be different if the media were to use the briefings to help inform the viewing public. But few of them ever ask questions that could better inform the citizenry. Instead, they serve up accusations not even thinly disguised as genuine questions.

    My two cents on the corruption of Obama vs Nixon. Compared to Obama, Nixon was a piker when it came to running a corrupt government. His boys couldn’t even pull off a third rate burglary, and his ‘enemies list’ was lame and sophomoric. Obama subverted numerous federal agencies to do his bidding. He didn’t even have to keep his own enemies list; his IRS and DOJ did it for him. Nixon could barely scrape up one scandal, but Obama had them running hot and cold. Like Trump, Nixon had to fight the media day and night. But the Fourth Estate was Obama’s fawning handmaiden during his entire reign – crap was consigned to under the carpet, lipstick was painted on every administration’s pig in sight. Nixon’s enemies suffered naught. Obama’s enemies suffered dearly, and continue to do so to this day.

    Paul, not to pile on but…
    You brought up popularity? Nixon won a 49-state landslide to be re-elected, Obama was re-elected more narrowly than his first win which was far from a landslide, not helped by your self-confessed failure to endorse his first term. Some reason you didn’t vote for him the second time? -we’ve never been told.
    The only corruption actually indulged in by Nixon was his ill-advised attempt to mitigate the consequences reaped by his over-zealous re-election team. Had he not foolishly shown a misplaced loyalty in them (who make up the entire list of perps you cited above), there is scarcely a hint of corruption about the Nixon administration. Agnew was his own crook.
    And, for what it’s worth, history judges presidents and if you do a little reading, you’ll find that Nixon is almost universally judged as an effective president (who many people disliked as a person). I am personally slightly ambivalent about the guy- a bit too fond of big government for my tastes.

    I don’t understand Paul’s real point. He stated his case and it was duly noted. Now, he wants to just argue and talk and talk about it.
    Punchy has stated several times he just comes over to stir the pot. Only reason. MHe gets his jollies off getting a rise out of it. Go ahead and fall for it. I already told Punchy to go fornicate himself awhile back and I, for one, need not repeat myself.
    Goalposts moved, per normal. What else is there to say? His AG was the only AG in the history of the US to be held in contempt of Congress. Nobody paid a price for the IRS scandal going after the Tea Party, Fast and Furious, the Iran deal that was so bad Obama refused to have the Senate see it or confirm it….ah hell…waste of time. Obama is neck deep in the biggest political scandal in at least In a century…..and history will be written when all is said and done. Historians will be writing about Obamagate for the next 20, 30 years.
    I don’t know what planet you are living on. There are at least 18 major scandals the president presided over: (1) The IRS scandal — selective targeting of conservative groups. (2) Benghazi scandal — cover up. (3) Bowe Bergdahl scandal — traded five Gitmo terrorists for an Army deserter. (4) Iran deal ransom payments. (5) Veterans Affairs death list scandal. (6) Solyndra scandal — $500 million lent to a failed solar company. I could list a dozen more Obama scandals, but it would require too much space….just to cover “the most scandal free administration in US history,” ROFLMAO.
    And nobody went to jail and nobody faced the music for their actions. That’s why there was no reason for Obama to stop doing what he was doing. Ok, his buddy who sold Obama his house for an offer you can’t refuse did go to jail, but that don’t count. Being best buddies with Weather Underground domestic terrorist Bill Ayers don’t count either.
    We just got to wait and see for it all to play out.. The only way to clean up the political corruption at the FBI, DOJ, CIA, NSA, is for someone to be brought to justice and held accountable for his actions. Obviously Bill Barr does not trust the FBI or Justice Department he took over as evidenced by all the outside of Washington Federal prosecutors with impeccable and unassailable records Barr is using to get the stank out of the Washington swamp.

My main focus has been on the economy and there is no doubt the three catastrophic economic events in the last 100 years are the Great Depression-1929, the great recession 2008 and the current massive recession and who knows what else. A casual look at history shows that they all occurred after years of a Republican Presidency.
    Hoover and Coolidge were Republicans and were in office from 1921 with Coolidge (oh yeah!! Teapot dome) then Hoover in 1929, the year the Stock Market crashed leading to the Great Depression. Roosevelt became President in 1933 and we eventually got out of the Depression.
    The next great economic event was the Great Recession of 2008 which was under the President George Bush. He inherited a strong economy from Clinton ( working with the Newt I might add) that left Bush not only a strong economy and but a nearly balanced budget. Eight years later under Bush the economy collapsed. Obama took over and we had eight years of modest growth and the economy was rebuilding and functional when Trump came into office. That brings us up to the present. Record unemployment probably around 5 Trillion dollars added to the deficit with no end in sight on and on.
    This quick look shows that the three great economic crashes we have had in the last 100 years occurred during Republican administrations and with at least the previous two recovered under Democrats. Add the Nixon debacle and you have four of the seven Repub Presidents of the last 100 years leaving office with things in a disastrous mess. Yes I know Trump is still in office but I seriously doubt he’s be re-elected but who knows.
    This means to me that Republican Presidents are a recipe for disaster that is proven by history.

    re PaulE 139pm – I want to point out the futility of debating with Paul in these pages. He did not respond to the historical fact of FDR’s total ineffectiveness in handling the Great Depression. And the Great Recession he lays on Bush2 who actually had NOTHING to do with it as numerous authors and economists have pointed out – just like Clinton had nothing to do with the dotcom bubble. Obama did do everything economically assbackwards that resulted in the historically tepid recovery which resulted by its being held back by every socialist trick available. And now China’s corona virus pandemic and the resulting hit to the economy and bipartisan national debt increase is all laid at Trump’s feet. There literally is no reasonable conversation to be had here.

    So George you were satisfied with Bush’s leadership in the lead up to the recession and are you satisfied with Trump leaving us with at least a 5 Trillion dollar deficit in four years after promising that the tax cuts would pay for themselves and he would provide a balanced budget and pay down the deficit in his first four years?
