downzy Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 I thought Republicans were suppose to be the law and order party: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/05/14/desantis-pardon-florida-covid-fox/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR01P8ajFwMIyXWUCnQRibM-29Qa4R8dp7ZYDK3AZ9dnAkq6Y41fD2E0rcM Desantis pardoning any person in Florida that was charged with violating covid restrictions. Apparently they've paid too high a price for acting irresponsibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie's take https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/14/opinion/bernie-sanders-israel-palestine-gaza.html Now if you ask me. I'm fed up with this Israel/Pelestinian conflict. I don't think the U.S. nor anyone else should move a finger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well given how much in aid the US gives Israel, not moving a finger is already siding with them on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 It is political suicide to turn on Israel. Most Americans support Israel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Considering the news, I guess it’s not a huge surprise Trump has collected the $65k in pension funds he accrued during his time as President since leaving office. I guess every dollar counts at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That support is going down among the general public, especially with the younger demographics. Once the boomers die off I could see a scenario where Israel will become more of a liability rather than a positive for a politician to support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm surprised to see someone unironically call themselves a proud neo-liberal. That's not something you see everyday. Perhaps it is ironic. Then again, the term "liberal" has been assigned, co-opted, and by so many different factions that at this point it could mean almost anything. Neo-liberalism for anyone coming to politics now might mean the re-emergence of liberal progressivism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 Just a reminder: Trump pardoned this asshole... Someone should really tell the family of the more than a half a million Americans who died and the likely millions dying in India right now that it’s all just a hoax. What an absolutely terrible human being. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Evidence of criminal activity by Trump, the Trump Organization, and executives of the Trump Organization are now being reviewed by a grand jury in New York. My money is still on Trump turning on his sons to avoid prison time. If I'm Eric or Don Jr., I've got my own separate legal council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fine. Democrats will investigate it themselves through a Benghazi-like select committee. Republicans sure have a hard time helping themselves.

Because a guy who sells pillows keeps telling him that the third recount taking place in Arizona will prove voter fraud. This will in turn provoke other swing states that went for Biden to start their own highly partisan voter recounts that will, according to Mr. My Pillow, result in the election being rendered null and void and Trump being reinstated. It's pure lunacy. There's no legal mechanism to render an election null and void. Even if inconclusive proof was discovered that demonstrated both Democrats and Republicans swung the election for Biden (again, keep in mind Republicans were in charge of elections in Georgia and Arizona, states Biden won), at worst it would mean that Biden would maybe step down and Harris, his VP, would take over. Or say both stepped down. Then Nancy Pelosi, the third in line by virtue of her being the Speaker of the House, would become President. Again, there is no legal recourse or mechanism by which Trump becomes President short of running again in 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
