will be so cool when Trump's lawyer has to plead the 5th Amendment. What a sh/tshow the GOP is.
Danny Hakim @dannyhakim BREAKING: Rudy Giuliani has been told that he is a target of the criminal investigation in Georgia into election interference. He is scheduled to testify in Atlanta later this week.
Trump will never be prosecuted for any crime if we simply decriminalize whatever he does. What a brilliant idea!
actually I'm also sort of with those against the broad laws like that. That law and some others are so general and wide reaching that they can be abused.
The Christians I know are kind and generous. They respect authority and believe in local and state law enforcement. They love this great country and wish everyone did. They voted overwhelmingly for Trump for this reason.
I love this - now apparently limiting his/their love of law and order to JUST state and local law and order. But federal law enforcement? Nope!
Gee, if only the yahoo at your local sheriff's office could investigate boxes of apparent TS material at a private residence, THEN we'd be all set !!
And, of course, this fidelity to local/state law and order will survive not one second past a local or state law enforcement agency daring to have anything to do with your favorite orange criminal at some point in the future (and conveniently ignoring the Metro DC police officers whom it was apparently fine to assault on 6 Jan.....).

Call me hopelessly naive, but I do think that in a country of ~330 million, we have proportionately way, way more scumbags who will get away with bad shi* if you don't write a hell of a lot of laws, then we have scummy law enforcement folks who will abuse those laws.....
And yeah, I know, lots of bad cops/sheriffs/DAs understandably jump to mind....but I still don't think that they compare to the legions of losers constantly finding innovative ways to be bad and (with ample legal assistance) get away with it.....
The Afghan war was authorized 98-0 by the Senate and supported by literally everyone. Your warping of history continues to be atrocious.
Agreed on the Afghan war. I know quite a few people who opposed the Iraq war from the beginning, but not the Afghan war.
Likely the only thing on which I disagree with both Trump and Biden. Arguably, we threw away 20 years of blood, sweat, and tears (and tons of money and sincere effort, and.....) because a small, pretty darn safe, footprint was apparently too much to ask.
Of course, while I disagree with Biden on it, at least I think that he might have put some thought into it and did what he did for fairly or completely non-selfish reasons. Unlike, you know, the other guy.

awesome dude, classic hardloper.
Pick one thing out of a list and throw away the entire list if you don't agree with that one thing.
That's sort of your thing.
Weak sauce.
Yeah, it kind of is. But your thing is hastily thrown together lists (or copied tweets?). I could probably nitpick a few more points on there but is it worth the effort?

That was why the law was created.
To silence dissent -- originally aimed at those who did not want America in WWI (a promise Wilson made and then broke due to political concerns)
Trump will never be prosecuted for any crime if we simply decriminalize whatever he does. What a brilliant idea!
Perfectly analogous with "Declassify any info that I want to abuse" !!!
Which reminds me, how many thousands of other federal laws and policies and procedures now ought to be changed since we've been reminded that we CAN have a president who won't come CLOSE to deserving the power and authority and DISCRETION we've given that position ???
I can bet that in ALL of the thousands upon thousands of hours in which professionals have thought about and discussed how to handle declassification authority, NONE of them EVER envisioned having a POTUS one-millionth as irresponsible, shallow, stupid, and selfish as Trump.

how about this:
First acknowledge the broad truth of the list. then say 'but you know what, #s 2 and 5 shouldn't be there because x and y.'
then we could have a back and forth.
Would make you a lot more interesting a poster and provide some intellectual fun round these parts.

You absolutely CAN NOT continue to support Donald Trump and consider yourself a Christian. I give a pass on the first election, because we (not even I did) knew the full extent of his sinful ways, but once he was in office and showed us who he really was, there is no justification for any Christian to vote for that man.
I know some kind and generous Christians too...NONE of them voted for Trump either time, and I submit to you that those you know are neither kind nor generous...not if they voted for Trump the second time and continue to support that POS to this day.
Trumpers do NOT love The Untied States. That is crystal clear. You don't care about the rule of law, which is salient if you truly love The United States. You don't care about and respect immigrants in this country, ESPECIALLY if they are not white, even though our country was founded by immigrants. You want an autocrat to be our President. That is against the very fiber of what it is to be an American. The America you love doesn't exist and never did.
You are wrong about Trump and his supporters when it comes to loving our country. We believe in securing our borders and keeping our country safe from criminals. Unlike your party, we never went along with "defunding the police." We love immigrants if they come here LEGALLY. Secondly, we believe in "America First", not in sending billions to a foreign country at war when same money can be better used on our OWN citizens here. Biden left our people behind in Afghanistan, he has been a mandate tyrant, he needlessly fired our servicemen & women who refused to take an experimental treatment for Covid.
Biden has created chaos, strife and has crashed our economy. He has been a disaster since day one in office. He has been a massive failure and his severe cognitive decline is too obvious to ignore- he must step aside immediately.

That's pretty funny. Giving someone advice on the best way to to tell you that you are wrong.
Why not just take Afghan War off your list? It killed the credibility of the list. Were you really against the Afghan War or, like a quite a few flip-flopping Trumpers, do you just like to remember you felt that way now? If I recall correctly, and I always do, at the time it was pretty much Richard Gere alone who was against going after Al Qaeda and the Taliban after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Incorrect.
Voting democrat means you fully support:
- abortion
- glorification of sin and mental illness (gays, trans, democrats)
- glorification of criminals (blm)
- attacks on family values - persecution of Christians
just to name a few of the democrat evils.
Voting democrat means you have rejected Christ and embraced democrat evils.

Actually, it's not. Agip's suggestion was right on target. Hardloper is the only Trumpette on here who is not an imbecile. He is often right about many things and this "discussion" would indeed be a lot more interesting if he went along with agip's suggestion.
Up to Hardloper, of course, regarding what he wants to do. But there is no doubt that agip's suggestion was both fundamentally positive and simply correct.

there are two issues with the afghan war. Three, really.
1/ starting it
2/ prosecuting it for decades
3/ ending it
War is incredibly messy, but we invaded in 2001 and were still fighting in 2021.
I'm prepared to say that the 7 years of Bush2 running it with no end and the 4 years of Trump running it with no end is a Republican scandal.
Sure, include Obama in that as scandalously not ending the thing. Everyone knew Afghanistan would never have the kind of government the US wanted it to have. But we just kept going for nearly a generation.
Scandal.
And Biden seems to have flubbed the exit in some ways. But ending wars without a clean victory or loss is always going to be a mess.

1) Complete bullsh!t.
2) My brother is very smart and thus a liberal Democrat like I am, so you are clearly NOT him.
3) Most Democrats didn't embrace "defunding the police", and the guy we elected has not embraced that at all.
4) You fools are now saying to abolish the FBI! WTF?! The FBI is just police on a federal level. No cognitive dissonance there?
5) Some foreign wars are worth supporting. The war in Ukraine is one of those.
6) Spend money on our own citizens? That sounds like Socialism to me. I thought you Republicans didn't need government and that you could just pull yourselves up by your bootstraps. Apparently that's not the case for you. Big baby.
7) You are completely ignorant of how economies rise and fall if you believe Biden has "completely crashed our economy."
8) Biden was a massive WINNER the second he took office, and that would have been good enough for me, BUT, since then he has gotten some serious legislation passed AND on his priority and order has taken out the leader of Al-Qaida.
9) Finally, Biden hasn't removed top secret documents from secured facilities or tried to overturn a fair election. He could sleep the rest of this term and 4 more years, and he has been GREAT for our nation JUST by beating Trump.
10) You are out of your mind to support Trump. Weak, weak people want to be ruled by a dictator. Stop being such a weak little b!tch.

Hard disagree. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be a Trumper today and NOT be an imbecile.
