    This is like the mafia lecturing the boy scouts on ethics and honor.
    The MSM is turning on Biden and the dems now- seems like even the people with an unending appetite for hate and hogwash lies have had enough.
    The end is near. Not going to be like you think it is.

    I did not see too many Republicans out on the streets in 2003 thinking that we were about to be defeated in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Going by your track record, we should be just fine since none of your bs ever came to fruition.

    Is it indefensible, or is it that all they are doing is parroting? Very few posters on PF seem to really know the issues well enough to defend them in the first place.

    LOL, weak adhom.
    Rivaled only by the blind partisanship it took to pen the OP.

    Are you saying your typical one liner drive byes are of excellent durability?

    I like a mix in Congress. I want a couple figurative/ verbal bomb throwing demagogues( to scream truth to power), I want some progressives( Warren) and Social Democrats (Sanders) to keep the liberals from making out in the cloakroom with corporate lobbyists or at least keep their panties from coming off. , I want some old fashioned liberals( Biden) to write bills that might pass and work and a slice of centrist/ moderates to amend those bills so that they can aspire to get a couple of republicans on board as often as practical.

    Exactly! It should be a mixed stew.

    The problem as I see it though is when one party refuses to legislate and just acts as the opposition, not contributing to a bi-partisan solution. The GOP has abandoned so many principles that it is mind-boggling. Look what they did to Cheney and Kinzinger. This is pure partisan cult behavior.

    Dirty Donalds new attack targets Catholics nd Jews??? He evidently feels more should have voted for him because of what he claims he did for them during his presidency?? As a Catholic I can honestly say the only thing he ever did was PISS ME OFF !!!

    It is for this reason I find it comical when any of our conservative posters say we have TDS. Why don't they tell that to the Donald who won't shut the f*** up?

    Why is it the left always want to ignore what happens on their side and talk only about what happens on the other side? However, as bad as Biden is doing I see the need to talk about the other side and ignore what is going on in this country.

    Neither party is interested in this. I find it incredulous when one faction member wags their finger at the other like this. The Democratic party just threw a 4 year hissy fit like a four year old in a super market denied a candy bar by his mother. It take a remarkable amount of conceite to do this.

    The level of hyperbole puts this post squarely in the elephant dung pile, Rod. And you know it.

    You have had your blindfold on so long, you wouldn't have any idea.
    And of course- you would think the referenced lecture was righteous. Hate and animosity does strange things to a person's perception of the world.

    Not all attacks are worthy of disputing, Much of what we see is off the wall BS with no basis in reality except it is someone's distorted view of an event. There are people here on both sides that make cogent argument for their cause, time to time we get to see them. Not all of us recognize them.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: there is nothing like a well reasoned, cogent, civil counter argument

    No, not hating conservatives. More like weeping over the death of the once proud Republican party. The party today is not Republican.

    The court recognizes that those trained in medicine, philosophy, and theology cannot arrive at a consensus, but you, in your all compassing wisdom have it all figured out. Right?

    You sure? Got links of those efforts to support Antifa? Or do you think every person protesting were Antifa? It seems so.
    Again, were Antifa flying dem flags?

    Do you also think the 10s of thousands of protests were nothing but rioters and arsonists?
    Most of them were peaceful.

    This will be our last exchange until you hopefully grow up a little. Just a little. I don't want to set the bar to high.

    Were you on Mars during the 2020 riots? You cannot point to any one of my statements that are not precise reality. Hyperbole my foot!

    I couldn't care less what flag or banner the antifa and other rioters were waving. Sad that you were out to lunch while the mayors of NYC and Washington DC along with many other Democrat politicos were heaping praise on the rioters as they were rioting. It oddly was all over the news; go find your own links. To be fair there were some Democrat politicos who simply sad, "Rioting??? I don't see any rioting....."
