Dystopia has dawned – Trump convicted on all counts. The greatest American travesty has happened in my lifetime. I have seen my country slide from its heights of glory to the now confirmed beginning of its dark age from which recovery to its former self is unlikely. With evil and corruption now firmly ensconced in our government, it is doubtful that my children will ever again witness America in its full promise as the shining city on a hill.

Didn’t vote for either Clinton in three elections. Did you vote for Trump once or twice and are you going to vote for him again?LikeLike

Hilarious:
“I am sure that you all are up in arms about the trumped-up charges against Hunter Biden, charges that have never been brought before about lying about being an addict”
Not declaring millions of dollars of income is now a “trumped up charge”?
Making a false declaration on a federal firearm form (4473, I believe) is a “trumped up charge”?
They’ve already let him off on several criminal charges by not acting and letting the statute of limitations expire.
Don’t worry – the defense will press the point that this is all about letting Trump get a “win” and you can count on at least a couple of Biden Butt Lickers to ignore the charges and the facts and vote for acquittal. And I hear the defense might go with the “Costanza defense”. Hunter was so f’ked up on dope he didn’t believe he was an addict. Smooth move!
And of course we have the requisite idiot-leftist quip about how perjury under oath shouldn’t count as a crime if it’s about sex.LikeLike

Oh – then there’s this –
“Trump lied about Stormy Daniels.”
So – you got the 8×10 glossies?
What did Trump say under oath that was a lie and what proof do you have that Spermy Daniels was telling the truth?
Also – which version of Daniel’s tale of a virgin maiden laid low by that rapscallion Trump are you going with? The one she told Piers Morgan or the one she told in court?LikeLike

You know fish could you tell me what name you used when you answered the question I asked at 3:36? there are so many names you use it’s hard to keep up. Could you simply answer the question using fish as your name?

I could….I suppose…..but frankly I’m a little surprised that a guy whose life “is very rich” and who only spends a few fleeting moments here is so concerned about the name under which I post.LikeLike

Maybe, Paul – just maybe – you could answer questions.

Hilarious.
Per usual, Paul has no conception of reality.
I was pointing out the fact that Paul is a dick because he demands answers to his questions while refusing to answer questions put to him.
Maybe there’s an adult that lives with Paul or a caretaker that could point out that I was referring to questions already put to him.LikeLike

Backfiring in a spectacular way on multiple fronts from massive cash and this –
The guilty verdict rendered against former President Trump is bringing moderate Republicans and longtime Trump skeptics to his side in a way that Trump’s campaign has failed to do for months.

” 1945-1960 IMHO”
I expect that glory years for a country will tend to overlap the era when one was young and had good hair, although it does seem to me that something rather peculiar has been abroad in the land for the last decade or so. Perhaps it’s just the rise of of fairly useless symbol manipulation, be it the internet or the FIRE industries, as the driving force. Dunno.
At least the Pride flags are gaily fluttering statewide now. Designing vexillology whose purpose is exclusionary (no straight white men or, sometimes, Asians) is a tricky business.
It seems to me that a worthwhile exercise for anyone is to get hold of older general-interest magazines (from eBay if you like paper, archive.org is you are a cheapskate) and read through the post-war era again. I’m always surprised by (a) how much I’ve forgotten and (b) how much better writing used to be. Illiteracy being the order of the day, I can’t say I’m surprised by (b), but always shocked by (a).LikeLike

“Last night Lauren Boebert joined 45 other Republicans in voting for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment to defund NATO.
This is an ignorant vote and frankly what we’ve come to expect from a congresswoman who has no idea what she’s doing or how her actions impact American national security.
There’s no way this amendment could pass, but the fact that these extremists in the GOP are trying is a HUGE gift to Vladimir Putin.
Russian propaganda has been hard at work sowing division among American lawmakers and voters to undercut our commitment to Ukraine’s national sovereignty. Boebert’s vote proves that she’s willing to be Putin’s useful idiot.
If Russia is allowed to succeed in Ukraine, it will not only be a travesty for the Ukrainian people and their fight for independence, it will push Russian forces directly into conflict with our NATO allies – risking a much larger war.
This is the kind of vote that could only come from someone who doesn’t give a damn about American troops or national security – which makes Boebert dangerous.
From her votes against veterans (over 15 times) to her jokes about climate security to playing a Russian stooge, Lauren Boebert is too dangerous to stay in Congress.”
MAGA minds at work.LikeLike

“This is an ignorant vote and frankly what we’ve come to expect from a congresswoman who has no idea what she’s doing or how her actions impact American national security.”
My guess is that you have no clue what the result would be of disentangling from NATO.
Would a pan-European military become more well-formed and well-funded? Would Germany be less a vassal state to the US? Would all 140M Russians invade the 440M EU citizens (with an 1/8 of the GDP)?
With Ukraine grinding to a dead halt, my guess is that Russian forces might take a while to get to the English Channel.
At this point, it looks like a great big grift machine to me, but it’s impossible to say. Maybe the money would be better spent beefing up the Anglosphere/Five Eyes relationship.
It’s surprising to me that people who think nothing of essentially unrestricted mass immigration care so much about borders 6000 miles away, but then that’s just years of mass media propaganda for you.LikeLike

…as a side note.
Speaking from my own BarcaLounger(tm) of Ignorance, I’d say that most military expenditure being done right now is wasted money.
From all appearances, the ground war in Ukraine is essentially stalled and fought with inexpensive drones. Air defense has outstripped air offense. Computers and countermeasures and countercountermeasures are a thing.
The big US weapons programs are, I’ll bet, good money thrown after bad. It’s all about iron rice bowls for the big contractors, and a lack of good hiring for the military itself as it turns into a giant jobs program for the underprivileged.
Seeing as how the most capable military is drawn from the ranks of the MAGA-folks who are so disliked in Blue Country, good luck going forward in any case.LikeLike
