    What is scandalous is liberals hypocritically wailing on this thread because the Russians did what their Dem VP did.

    I didn't vote for him, and I think his tweets were unpresidentual.

    Outside Covid, the statistics say he was a good president however.

    And I'm one of those professionals you speak of, only in the engineering field.

    The name calling and outright TDS about Trump from the left is in fact dramatic immature nonsense that is 1000% partisan based.

    With respect to whatever point you are trying to make, your comment is an argumentum ad populum fallacy.

    *LOL*

    Yes, because Russians grabbing a "high value" American is exactly the same as Harris just doing her job.

    He inherited a thriving economy. A chimp could've done what he did, even having the Heritage Society pick his SCOTUS nominees.

    But yet, look at who you people nominated for VP.

    https://dailycaller.com/2020/08/12/kamala-harris-marijuana-california-attorney-general/

    Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard confronted Harris about the number of marijuana arrests recorded during her time as lead prosecutor in one of the Democratic debates last year.

    “She put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana,” Gabbard told the audience, according to Rolling Stone.

    Harris resisted a judge’s decision in California, which ordered the state to implement a new parole program that would free certain prisoners early due to rampant, unconstitutional overcrowding, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    Harris’ lawyers insisted that the order would cause a void in the prison labor pool that paid incarcerated people between 8 and 37 cents an hour, the Times reported.

    "Grabbing a high value American" is hyperbole. Why not just say they arrested someone who violated their laws. And of course one of the disturbing things about Harris is she was locking people up for something she herself did.

    Totally absurd claim about the Chimp. Although that claim would perhaps be appropriate when Biden leaves office. Certainly, with Biden in office the line between the intellect of a human president and a chimp has been blurred.

    To me, Trump's greatest acomplishments were perhaps his judicial appointments. But history may say his greatest accomplishment was purging the Republican party of the Bush Cabal and now the purging of RINOs. He certainly shut down, Jeff Bush, the Bush heir apparent in one debate and the Bush family has been crying in their beer ever since. I loved the way he killed the TPP right from the "get go" stopping the outsourcing of jobs that had been going on since NAFTA. I love the way the progressive DEMs are scared shitless of the MAGA King returning. And it seems highly likely that will happen.

    Harris is most certainly relavant, given the claimed liberal outrage over Russians doing what their own VP has done to hundreds of people.

    You can say "so what" to liberal hypocracy. I will not.

    An appropriate Bible verse.

    And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    If the economy tanked under his leadership, no doubt he would have been blamed. He took a strong economy and made it stronger.

    Outside of just economics, he also presided over one of our longest periods with no conflicts, met with adversaries... some just can't get over mean tweets.

    Those that have TDS didn't like him on a personal level. It has to do with emotions and feelings. In my opinion, that's an irresponsible way to votebfor president.

    Yes, no doubt. Both sides do it but it is very petty. Were Trump in charge now, no doubt those many of those defending Biden on high gas prices would be hammering Trump.

    I think your last point would have more validity had Trump's character flaws not reveal themselves in such a spectacular way over his refusal to accept losing the election. Then his personality became a profoundly political issue, and remains so.

    Careful, someone may cheer if you get locked in a foreign prison because of your hatred of America

    Who did she put in prison for 9 years for simple possession?

    Right on queue, a Democrat talking point.

    Suggest your question be directed to Democrat Tulsi Gabbard whose comment on the subject I have already linked to and who said, "You locked up thousands of Black people for possessing a harmless substance you basically admitted to smoking."

    Or former Democrat Senator Mike Gravel who said in 2019, "Tulsi did an excellent job exposing the reality that Kamala is a hollow candidate, a candidate with an atrocious prosecutorial record."

    I guess the over 1500 people locked by by Harris for only Marajuana offenses were all kingpin dealers. lol

    And does it really matter if it was selling, simple possession, major possession, or whatever? Your VP locked people up and destroyed lives for offenses involving a drug that she herself used. The outrage over a black basketball player being put in jail for violating marajuana laws in Russia is pure hypocracy that cannot be waived away with a talking point.

    Perhaps you could provide a talking point as to why Harris opposed the CA legalization of marajuana legislation in 2016?

    Not unless you can somehow do that while I'm in America.

    I've often said that should I win a big Lotto I'd get on a Cruise Ship and just stay there but **** that. Americans are targets if they travel internationally today, yet another great benefit we got from The Magnificent Orange and the All Beneficent Rethuglicans.

    I'll just go to Vegas and purchase a legal brothel.

    did you not understand my question? Tulsi doesn’t know what she’s talking about, as usual. Harris didn’t put people in prison for just having some weed for personal consumption. This is California lol
    What happens is some meth dealer also has weed and prosecutors use that to pile on the charges.

    I only know what is reported in multiple media accounts and by your own Democrat politicians. If you have some data to support the claim that the marajuana convictions produced by Harris involved meth then produce your data.

    Did you intend to dodge my question about why Harris opposed legalization of marajuana in CA when she herself used the drug? I have a theory. My theory is that she actually did not use marajuana, nor did she ever listen to Tupac. Simply claimed she did to address the claim that she was not black enough.

    Kim Kardashian is not only very beautiful. but very smart.

    HEH: Hillary Clinton LOSES legal knowledge quiz in head-to-head with Kim Kardashian 11-4 during episode of former First Lady’s Gutsy.

    'Hillary and Kim were quizzed on the former first lady's 'Gutsy' documentary
    Acting as quizmaster, Hillary's daughter Chelsea put their knowledge to the test
    Kardashian - who is studying to be a lawyer - was quick on the buzzer and bested the former lawyer and Secretary of State, getting 11 answers, to Clinton's four
    Hillary told PEOPLE it was 'heartbreaking' to lose'
    ...



    [​IMG]

    'the clip shows Kim hitting the buzzer several times as the scoreboard ticks over to 11 to four. 'Mom, you made a good effort,' Chelsea jokes, as Kardashian celebrates.'

    I just want to make sure everyone is perfectly clear that Kim didn't hang herself.

    I'd submit that calling Griner a "high-value" anything is hyperbole too. She's not.
