I wanted to be happy but it's just too depressing

The judge denied the immunity that was being offered as part of the plea deal. Hunter is guilty. He admitted it.

 

It may vary, depending where you live, but anyone that owns property pays property taxes. Property tax's, in part, fund education; so even if you're a renter, property tax is factored in to your rent and you end up helping to pay for education, according to the laws of your district. It's telling that MAGrates say they love our country but want denigrate ALL of our fundamental institutions and opt out of any responsibility to participate in funding it's government.

IMHO, there are very few actual Republican's left in America; so it would be surprising if you claimed to be one.

 

Well you are blessed with an outstanding governor.

 

Gas stoves are just better. And a lot of people take cooking seriously even if not pros.

 

The USDA grade of beef is based on the maturity of the cattle at slaughter and the amount of marbling in the meat. The USDA Prime carcasses have the absolute highest amount of marbling, or intramuscular fat, of all the carcasses in the United States, and are generally considered to be the best of the best.

The Governor provides meat? Where can I pick it up?

USDA Prime is awesome, and so it the USDA Choice at Whole Foods, but Wagu is the best. I tried some Japanese Wagu once and it was out of this world.

 

40% of the consumption is by the rich privilege wealthy elite 10% and they are nearly all leftists. They figure that can 'pay for' their lives of conspicuous consumption by forcing the rest of us to do with less.

These lying bastards in the Bribed Biden Administration are coming for your stoves, and now they are also coming for your ceiling fans.

 

I didn't say that, are you saying that?

Not unless you know something I don't.

That thought hadn't crossed my mind; so, no.

No, YOU make YOUR point.

Well, how would I know, are you claiming to? I mean, reading his post, it appears to me that he is looking for something outside himself to make him happy. Now, what I know about it, what I've been told, is no one or nothing can MAKE "you" anything. Each individual makes themselves fulfilled, makes themselves happy.

Who's they?
You believe TRAITOR tRump is innocent.
I would support TRAITOR tRump against a two tiered justice system ... if there was one. So, far he's been afforded every consideration and courtesy possible, considerations and courtesy's NO other American in the same situation would receive; BTW. So if there is anything "two tier" about OUR justice system, TRAITOR tRump has been the beneficiary, so far.

So! Again, you've got the cart before the horse. You can't "FREE TRAITOR TRUMP"; he IS FREE!!!!!!!!!

 

I agree. It's easy to chalk it up to what you state because it makes it easy to insult Trump voters. And while they knowingly voted for a corrupt pathological liar, voting for Trump does not make you racist or deplorable on it's own. If you're one or both of those things, you already were before you voted for Trump. But it's dumb to just assume. In fact, it's dumb for the same reason that racism is dumb.

But he also tapped into something that had been stirring for a while. We were coming off of 8 years of Obama and it was the beginnings of the woke movement. Right-wingers didn't really have a candidate that spoke to them. Probably not since Reagen. McCain was too moderate for the evangelicals and Romney has always seemed detached. The problem was never why they voted for a man that appealed to them like Trump, it was why they voted for Trump specifically. He was the only one doing the appealing but we has also very damaged goods, and that was all public knowledge because the man has relished attention since the 80s. I CAN understand voting for him if you're not really political and don't pay much attention. It would be easy to buy into his whole fake patriotism shtick.

But he doesn't share their values and he considers himself better than them. I'm not sure Trump even has any values or morals, his singular purpose in life is to promote himself and get devotion and praise and he will do anything, ANYTHING, in service of that, up to and including trying to overturn a legitimate election because he lost.

 

Yes. Guilty of not paying his taxes on time, which have since been paid, during a period of heavy drug usage. And guilty of lying on his gun purchase form, a crime for which.........

But Clark argued in his letter to Weiss that charging Hunter Biden with a gun crime would torpedo public trust in the Justice Department.

Biden, Clark continued, didn’t use the allegedly purchased gun to commit a crime, didn’t buy another one and didn’t have any prior criminal record. No drug user had ever been charged with a felony in Delaware for buying a gun under those same circumstances, he wrote. Prosecutors, he alleged, were weighing gun charges for one reason: “the relentless political pressure from the opponents of the current President of the United States.”

Read the entire article. One could make the case that the DoJ prosecutors (If Joe was corrupt why didn't he put a stop to this? Trump would have.) succumbed to pressure from congressional Repub's complaints.

 

I can't help noticing your reply includes nothing in the way of factual refutation. If you have some, bring it.

 

You had me until there; what that ignores is for 229 years before TRAITOR tRump, the two party system, OUR United States Government and it's Constitution built the greatest Nation on earth. AND, in spite of TRAITOR tRump These United States are better poised, RightByGodNow, than ANY other nation on the plant, to continue to be successful.

It's easy to buy into the "corrupt government and government institutions" bullshit when that's what's playing 24/7/365 on Faux News, Blightfart and all the other ultra-right lying alternative fact news bullshit stations. It isn't for lack of want, by ALL AmeriCANs, to improve our government. It's the division and infighting that keeps U.S. from gaining any traction to reform and improve OUR Government that is fomented by the divisive news media. Listening to BULLSHIT news, Left or Right, that keeps U.S. at each other's throats, while the wealthy few take advantage, is what is WRONG with America and gives a despicable conman like TRAITOR tRump power to threaten to end Government By The People.

AmeriCANs listening to Garbage Hate Filled news that pander to TRAITOR'S like TRAITOR tRump is the greatest, clearest, present danger this Nation has ever faced.

 

Last I checked Fox and other right wing media were NOT pointing out corruption in goverment institutions. If they are then I applaud them.
What I have seen there is instead about pointing at Democrats and the left as corrupt. Not their own "side". You appear to be doing the same.

That's what I wrote. Did you not read it?

The greater danger is failing to understand WHY so many voted for him, and failing to do anything about it. If you get rid of him, there WILL be another, unless you actually drain that swamp, make it transparent, and get rid of the ridiculous level of insider politics and corruption.

 

Perhaps if they dress him in a diaper and you get to throw feathers at the tar baby you will feel better.

 

Perhaps if everyone stops trying to try his caseS in the court of public opinion and let our justice system do it's job we'll ALL feel better.

 

Faux, Blightfart and all right wing "news" outlets have been denigrating our government and it's fundamental institutions for years. Increasingly so since TRAITOR tRump arrived on the political landscape. For shure, when they aren't trashing our government they trash the "left"; that huge ambiguous object that they've created to focus MAGrate hate on when they've overplayed their hand of tearing apart our Nation.

That is not what you wrote, thematically your post is just more RW trashing of our government, it's institutions and the "left".

TRAITOR tRump and his follower's aren't hard to figure. TRAITOR tRump tapped into several different sub-cultures of unrest. AmeriCANs that feel that they'd been left out of the political discussion, that feel their race is loosing control, people that fear a deep state's control of their lives. Fear and control those are the keys used to divide AmeriCANs and keep them at each other throats. And, you propagate it with your every post.

 

The OP is probably depressed because after the mugshot for the phone GA indictment which they thought would finally bury the guy is tied with Bribed Joe, instead, the Trump Raised $7.1M After Mugshot.

'The former president raised $4.18 million on Friday alone, the single-highest 24 hour period of his campaign to date.'



'After Trump was taken into custody, the campaign began selling shirts, posters, bumper stickers and beverage coolers bearing Trump’s scowling mugshot. The items bear the tagline “NEVER SURRENDER!”'

Bribed Joe is desperately trying to jail the opponent who he fears will wipe the floor with him in a rematch not rigged like the COVID tainted election.

“make a contribution to evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House and SAVE AMERICA during this dark chapter in our nation’s history.”

AS BLACK VOTERS WERE CHANTING IN THE HOOD: THE MORE THEY INDICT, THE MORE WE UNITE!

'Trump’s campaign says it has raised nearly $20 million in the last three weeks, during which time Trump was indicted on charges related to his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and for trying to overturn the Georgia vote count in the 2020 election. That figure is more than half of what Trump raised during his first seven months in the 2024 race.'

Some folks know all about two tiered Justice and lying prosecutors.



After the phony GA indictments, the next poll's going to be even worse for Bribed Biden

 

No. It really really isn't. And if you read it as so, then that shows you are reading with a very partisan lens. Those on the right will do the same, but in the opposite direction, convincing themselves it means LW trashing of your government and its institutions and the "right". What it was doing was criticising the opaque, corrupt cronyism of insider politics. That exists all across the spectrum of left/right.

Which is the vast majority of Americans, under an entrenched 2 party system run by parties who push insider politicians and don't listen to the people. This is the massive segment of voters who tipped things to a Trump win. Without them he would have had far less support and he would have lost to Hillary Clinton.

He was seen as an outsider and that's all that mattered. A hand grenade to establishment politics. Bernie Sanders was popular for the same reason, and the primary was rigged against him, underlying this problem. It also didn't help that Hillary ran an "I'm with her" capaign of self-entitlement instead of a "She's with us" campaign or "Yes WE can" campaign, etc.

Biden beat Trump only because more people now knew Trump for what he was and wanted him out. But they remain sick of opaque establishment politics and this problem WILL rise again. For many, they would STILL prefer Trump over the insider establishment politicians, even having seen his lunacy.

The lesson of Trump's rise to power does not appear to have been learned, so another will eventually come. The next one may be less inept and more insidious than Trump, with an agenda besides his/her own ego, and that's a scary prospect.

PS - Your posting style is very similar to Trump's way of speaking. I find that ironic.
