How repugnant, what is wrong with this man? Fell harder then he was pushed? What does that even mean?

And yet, his supporters won't care, won't hold him accountable, and will try to find some way to rationalize his bad behavior.

Look no further than the disingenuous, long debunked, "paid protester" link above. Or trying to use use covid as an excuse as to why they shouldn't protest (or why covid isn't a thing).  ANYTHING to try to discredit and delegitimize the validity of these protests rather than listening to the message being sent.

Me thinks the president (and his supporters) doth protest too much.

What's this about people having to wait in line for hours to vote?

Yup, in Georgia yesterday, for the primaries.  In terrible weather.

Voting machine issues, especially in minority heavy districts (where they saw VERY heavy voting).

so you believe Libertarians want ZERO government influence on the economy?  wrong again!

and I don't know any anarchists.

huge difference between small government and no government.

Then you obviously don't know anything about Libertarianism. There is a range of views on state power among Libertarians from minimal to zero. Modern American Libertarianism was literally started by Anarcho-Capitalist Murray Rothbard. Wrong again!  

So, because you don't personally know any anarchists, they don't exist? Never stop amusing me.

as for anarchists, you are twisting my words around. never said or implied that they don't exist. obviously, they do. again, you can find people who believe almost anything in a country of over 300M.

So then what? It was a complete non-sequitur when you said "I don't know any anarchists"? The point (which you were too dense to parse) was that Libertarianism will only result in anarchy.

there are lunatics who support all political figures on both sides. sadly, the majority of those people have been brainwashed into thinking their side is "right" or "good." you have Bernie bros on the left, like the staffer that called for extreme violence a couple months ago, and some crazies on the right. reasonable people condemn all loonies, regardless what side they are on.

Are you referring to the agitprop video created by the convicted frauds at Project Veritas? Boy, rightists sure are gullible.

No, you have one side being peaceful and the other side mailing pipe bombs, shooting bows at peaceful protesters while screaming "all lives matter" (you can't make this shit up) and driving cars into crowds. No wonder you've been absent from this thread lately.

on topic, Bernie Bros have a lot of soul-searching to do. they are struggling to decide if they will totally sell out and vote for the prototypical establishment candidate, who is senile and controlled by billionaires, and puts his hands on women and children inappropriately.

Classic concern trolling from you. A supporter of the guy who flew on Epstein's plane and walked into changing rooms full of nude underage pageant contestants. You literally could not project harder if you tried. But then again, that is the the right wing's SOP; deflect and project. Gaslighting is the new conservatism!

Trump just announced he’ll be ending regulations that prevent Trans people from being discriminated against in health care. Not only during pride month, but on the anniversary of the Pulse night club shooting.

This man is a disgrace to humanity.

[sandman]

No, you have one side being peaceful

I needed this laugh today. seriously. Mondays can be rough, especially in the summer, but that was good.

Property damage is not violence. That you equate human life with property says everything.

It also says a lot that you leave 90% of the argument on the table with every reply. Literally a tactic from the Alt-Right playbook:

Don't forget, the Republican party is fine with everything Trump says/does.

That sets the standards for their future after Trump.... How do you come back from this? Going from a time when a tan suit was a big deal, to today when siding with foreign nations instead of your own isn't a biggie....

The natural thing is obviously to keep going. Get someone onboard to continue the legacy of truth and swamp draining...

During Obama the US went 20 years forwards.

With trump you went right back to 1968 in 3,5 half years. And not in the peace and love hippie way.

People of this thread. Please, dont make it a another 4,5 years. (If there even is an election)


Another 4,5 years, im afraid we will go back straight to 1942 and then everybody loses. Its not only an American issue anymore.

Tension between South Korea and the letter writing North Korea.

Doesn't seem like Trump managed to solve any issues there either....

Poor Trumpy he's having a really bad week with the courts. First the Supreme Court he thought would kiss his ass spanks him, now he was denied an emergency injunction to stop John Bolton's book.

[tim_m]

And it gets worse, his rally was so empty only half the arena was filled, and they had to cancel the overflow speech outside because nobody was there.

[jarmo]

At least they got Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney for the southern district of New York, fired!

I guess he didn't get the memo. You shouldn't investigate Trump and his pals.

Yep

So, the Bolton book basically confirms the impeachment basis: It was political and it was a quid pro quo.

And his supporters will still vote for him.

And his impeachable offenses are not limited to Ukraine. What a shock! I sadly think Bolton was right, even if he testified to the full breadth of those offenses it wouldn't have mattered. The senate is so far up Trump;'s ass nothing he does would make them convict him. One has to wonder what he's got on them.
