Thanks for this heads up. We watched tonight. It was not good for my blood pressure. Obama had so many ways in which he undermined our country. I hate to admit it, but he succeeded in achieving his stated goal. I am deeply angry that his aspirations were so horribly misguided
Biden, if he wins, has a real chance to become the first President in history to be impeached AND convicted. It would suit the Dems overall intentions to get Kamala into that position.
My growing revulsion is unable to keep up with the countless examples of intellectual dishonesty, self-serving lies, seemingly endless and unmitigated hypocrisy from progressives and Democratic party operatives. What do everyday people gain by supporting this destruction of our country’s fundamental values? Why on earth does a large segment of the hoi polloi think that the principles of BLM and Antifa advance their own personal interest?
I have a daughter-in-law and son-in-law who are staunch supporters of Biden/Harris; partly because they hate Trump and partly because they support the Green New Deal, Reparations, nationalized healthcare (they are both M.D.’s), student loan forgiveness and other elements of the radical agenda. They state that they are more than willing to pay the higher taxes that will inevitably result, but they do not acknowledge the collateral effects of these policies: shifting incentive effects, widening of the income and wealth gaps, degradation of the education system, domestic unrest, increasing poverty, increasing crime, etc.
My own daughter, though politically uninterested, takes the simplistic approach to assessing these issues. To give a classic example, she buys the static analysis of a tax rate being raised. She assumes no reaction by taxpayers and accepts the word of MSNBC pundits when they tell her how much the rich will pay. When I broach such a discussion, she just does the equivalent of putting her fingers in her ears and yelling, “LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA”.
I believe we have already lost our country – even if Trump wins. That will only delay the creeping erosion of our national ethos. It has me really depressed. “A republic, if you can keep it.” It looks increasingly as though we can’t.
Barr seems to be trying to get several items completed in a hurry. Reading about various activities of officials in Trump’s administration and their rush to get things out gives one a feeling that they are not confident about their prospects. I hope it’s just me being a nervous Nellie.
The lack of great moderators is due to the lack of great journalists, at least any great journalists who might conceivably be chosen by the Presidential Debate Commission (or whatever they are called).
And Mick, I’d be willing to bet a considerable sum that, if he is elected, Trump will not die of natural causes before 2021. I will be concerned about him dying from other causes however.
I rarely go over there and when I do I scan the topics quickly and then “mark all topics read”. Even the “no politics side” (right, like ESPN is no politics) is littered with unexpected slams of Trump. The folks who try to present themselves as “balanced” observers of the political scene all feel it necessary to forswear any possibility that they might vote for Trump or that they might have any misgivings about the intent of the radicals steering the ship for the Dems.
At one time I truly found The Cardboard to be an amazing place. Yvonne’s sympathy for the hardcore leftists meant the board changed significantly when political discussions arose and got heated. When she summarily suspended ferrari and then stupac pissed off garvin, the damage had been done. The weasels and the hotheads took over. Eventually, they ran off or shut up the conservative or libertarian voices almost entirely.
I do enjoy your contributions over there, cardcrimson.
Just an aside: Outsider Fan would be horrified to know how much he is a duplicate of Trump’s tone and rhetorical style. Unfortunately for him, he lacks Trump’s effectiveness.
We keep getting more and more and stronger and stronger PROOF that a plot against the United States was designed and carried out by the most senior and powerful leaders in the previous administration and I have no confidence that they will be brought to justice. I have run out of words to sufficiently express the contempt for liberal leadership now that remains silent in the face of the criminal behavior.
Wallace is, at the very least, a drooling Never Trump establishment RINO. At worst he is a liberal mole.
And from Peter Schweitzer’s book, “Profiles in Corruption”, apparently Joe’s brother Frank puts Hunter to shame. Manipulations of charter school developments is pretty egregious.
I don’t think it is quite so clear cut. The boyfriend claims he did not hear the knock. May not be true, but a tough negative to prove. The grand jury did not charge him with anything and his gun was legal. Missouri is, as I understand it, a “stand your ground” state. Police broke through the door and the boyfriend admits he fired first. One of the officers (I presume the one who was charged with the equivalent of reckless endangerment or something like that) fired through a glass partition that had a closed drape. I did not hear if that was the lethal shot. Furthermore, no items on the search warrant (which authorized a search for property, it was not an arrest warrant) were discovered in the apartment. $12 millions seems like a lot, but I don’t really have enough info to determine if it was in line with settlements of this sort. I think it was a tragic situation in which both sides made significant errors.
