    Nope, they hammered him for year and then they found out he hadn't given back everything he was supposed to

    Yeah...

    Natural selection really has slacked off a lot.

    I don't think so. Maybe you never heard of the Brezhnev Doctrine.

    The Brezhnev Doctrine was a Soviet foreign policy that proclaimed that any threat to "socialist rule" in any state of the Soviet Bloc in Central and Eastern Europe was a threat to all of them, and therefore, it justified the intervention of fellow socialist states. It was proclaimed in order to justify the Soviet-led occupation of Czechoslovakia earlier in 1968, with the overthrow of the reformist government there. The references to "socialism" meant control by the communist parties which were loyal to the Kremlin.[1] Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev repudiated the doctrine in the late 1980s, as the Kremlin accepted the peaceful overthrow of Soviet rule in all its satellite countries in Eastern Europe.[2]

    A well known kook from the Hoover Institute recites the Trump talking points.

    Biden ran up $35 trillion in debt? I didn't know he was president when most of the presidents before him ran up debt, including some of the worst GOP offenders, Reagan, GWB and Trump.

    Also, how is he making people marry late, or not at all? Do you have any of his policy proposals on that issue?

    And that's just two blatantly false bullet points on this list of RW fear-mongering propaganda and projection. Nothing from this post can be taken seriously.

    Come on, you can be a reasonable poster, but not when you have yourself immersed in the far RW media bubble.

    The debt is now going up by a rate of $1 trillion every 100 days. That is on Biden's watch. Biden's team knows where the debt is, yet they continue to push for unnecessary $1 tillon spending bills. Covid is over. Even then, the amount of spending was overkill, and yes, that was on Trump's watch.

    According to Modern Monetary Theory, the level of debt does not matter. All you need do is create money. Modern Monetary Theory is BS.

    It shows the moral decline in the country. Kids are best off when the parents are married. That goes for gay as well as straight because it's a sign of stability.

    I would love to you debate Victor Davis Hanson. He would take you to pieces.

    We didn’t hear a peep out of the likes of you when your beloved was borrowing like crazy. Not a peep.

    If Covid is over, explain why it is still common.

    Not only is claiming that Biden is forcing people to marry later specious, your claim to it being a sign of “moral decay” something you made up to try and rationalize Hanson’s empty claim.

    I doubt that I would have much trouble with a hyper partisan polemicist like Hanson.

    #1. The borrowing was as bad then. Congress was not passing $1 trillion dollar spending bills. At any rate getting taxes down, cutting government spending and growing the private sector are the only ways to get out of this mess.

    #2. Covid is over as a pandemic. I know you wish that were not true, but it is. Have heart though. Bird flu is up and running, in small way now, but it has more potential. It's supposed to be more lethal. I know you like to have "Uncle Joe" up there leading us out of the wilderness, and getting elected to another four years, even if it kills millions.

    #3. Biden's inflation in the housing markets is making it harder for the young people to get ahead. That postpones marriages and makes it harder for young families. His continued pressure on energy prices is making it harder for every American. His jamming EVs down our throats drives up the prices of all automobiles, new and used.

    #4. Victor Davis Hanson would tear you into smaller pieces than the professor, @Quantum Nerd, in a debate.

    Joe Biden: Never divorced, only re-married after his first wife passed away in a tragic accident. Clearly, role modeling moral decline.

    Donald Trump: Married three times, divorced twice, cheated on his pregnant wife with an adult movie star, his last marriage to a nude model. Clearly, a role model for marital stability and family values.

    Only in Trump world


    That may well be, I have no practice in debating someone who is well-versed in regurgitating tired RW talking point. In fact, I have no practice in face-to-face political debate at all.

    Discuss 11 old partisan talking points? LOL

    Wipe out border? Control marriage? Change universities? Make "war" on oil by producing record amounts?

    LOL

    Or, they are fully aware and support the destruction.

    1. Wipe out a 2,000-mile border.
    'Allow 10 million foreign nationals to enter unlawfully. Have no audit of any; nullify all federal immigration laws. Let in toxic drugs that kill 100,000 Americans a year. Give free support to those millions who broke the law. Smear any objectors as racists and xenophobes.'

    2. Run up $35 trillion in national debt.
    'Keep adding $1 trillion to it each 100 days. Defame anyone wishing to cut wild spending as cruel and inhumane.'

    3. Appease or subsidize enemies like Iran and China.
    'Demonize allies like Israel. Allow terrorists to attack Americans without adequate response. See Islam as either similar or superior to Christianity. Make amends to leftist governments for supposedly past toxic American international behavior. Follow the lead of international agencies like the U.N., ICC and WHO to atone for past American neocolonial and imperialist behavior. Recede to second-tier international status, befitting American decline.'

    4. In a multiracial democracy, redefine identity only as one’s tribal affiliation.
    'Ensure each identity group rivals the other for victimhood and the state spoils it confers. Reboot all political issues by race and sex oppressors and oppressed. Destroy all meritocratic standards of admission, retention, promotion and commendation.'

    And these folks control the agencies, the lying fake news media, the Democrat Party, and have the complicity of more than a few Republicans.

    You have been played. 10 million apprehensions, not 10 let in.

    The better question is why Trump failed to apprehend border crossers.

    And took in $Millions in bribes, helped launch the most vicious attack on a presidential transition in American history and then assumed the presidency on a rigged election.
    A beautiful European Super-Model posed nude? Oh the 'scandal'!

    5. Recalibrate violent crime as understandable, cry-of-the-heart expressions of social justice.
    'Ensure no bail and same-day release for arrested, repeat violent felons. Empathize with the violent killer and rapist; ignore their victims, especially if they are slain police officers.'

    6. Emasculate the military by using non-meritocratic standards of race, gender, and sexual orientation to determine promotion and commendation.
    'Deliberately impugn as racists and insurrectionists the largest demographic in the military who in recent wars died at twice their numbers in the population — so that they leave or never join the military. Encourage retired high officers to slander their commander-in-chief. Cut the defense budget. Stop producing sufficient weapons, but leave billions of dollars’ worth of arms to terrorists.'

    I've read stuff this person has written and listened to him on Fox doing my best to read/listen to him objectively. He's a hyper partisan schill gas lighting the audience with what he thinks they want to hear. A total quack.

    The fact that you think the US is “destroyed” speaks to how hyper-partisan you are. The US is no more “destroyed” than when A holes tried to claim Trump “destroyed” the US. And no more “destroyed” than when A holes tired to claim Obama “destroyed” the US. And no more “destroyed” than when A holes tired to claim Bush “destroyed” the US. Starting to notice a trend here??? BOTH sides always make this ridiculous claim when it’s the other guy occupying the WH.

    Yes, Trump is a tomcat. If he had behaved himself, he would not have had the next trial concerning the porn star.

    He’s a crackpot with a platform. Peddling right wing talking points to bobble heads.

    “The borrowing was as bad then” But Trump nation didn’t care.

    No Trump didn’t get Congess to vote a trillion dollar spending bill.

    ‘Instead, he pushed for a trillion dollar borrowing bill!

    Biden has almost nothing to do with housing markets. Interest rates are up post Covid. Where didthe “moral decay”ago? (oh, that’s right, you made it up)

    Your bs claims about Biden forcing EV’s on everyone is just that, bobble head bS.

    I had Covid two weeks ago. It’s nice to hear from you that I didn’t.
