    But you know they will be. Somehow it will be the fault of Democrats that the Republican Party is being dominated by the fanatical wing. The first principle of modern conservatism is that it is ALWAYS someone else's fault. Without exception.

    That's every political party. If you're a Democrat you blame Whites for being too White and the only meaningful solution is for them to genocide themselves. If you're a Republican the problem is that there isn't enough support for Greater Israel and we need to smother anyone who speaks out against Israel. None of them are for the nation because they're both controlled by foreign elements.

    Everyone knows that we can't keep spending $1.8T more than we are taking in, each year. Thank goodness some Republicans are standing up and saying NO we won't vote continuing spending at these insane levels. It would bankrupt the nation.

    [​IMG]

    It's all this red ink spending by the government that is driving the inflation that is hurting Americans so badly, and it simply has to stop. Baby steps are fine, but we need to see this nation's finances at least beginning to track back toward balance and that starts with these budget bills that are being hammered out.

    Inflation Is Robbing Middle Class Americans and we can't take more of the theft.

    'The August CPI numbers were even hotter than the economic consensus expected (up 0.6% for the month, the biggest monthly increase of the year), showing inflation to be a persistent issue for Americans. '

    'Americans are struggling with food, housing, gas and other energy costs, and the general cost of living.'

    Americans are having to make their money stretch a little further, and Government has to do the same, the more we share this load the lighter it is for all of us. Don't not listen to the selfish voices of government who say that not only can't they spend less, but they have to spend even more!

    It is one of the debt drivers in the budget. You may want to look at the F35 as an example. We literally bought the plane off of paper and computer simulations. Later, we still have problems with the F35 from the helmet to pretty much everything. It got so bad, that Obama did not want to include that in the military budget, but Trump did in his FY 2018 proposed budget.

    Pointing to Soros is just plain lame.

    And, if you actually want campaign finance reform, I'm all in favor. The idea of megadonors buying lawyers to try to defend Trump against SCORES of felonies is just plain sickening. Plus, the twisting that our system imposes on every aspect of our government is something that needs to be ENDED.

    Israel has been carrying out humanitarian atrocities in Palestine for more than 20 years now.

    And a central reason for getting away with their crimes against humanity is that we in the USA support it.

    We absolutely do need to reverse that.

    We as Americans need to start showing the guts to support the fundamental beliefs we express in our founding documents.

    So Republicans argue and demand while dems just cow-tow to Madame Speaker and vote as she dictated. That your point?

    For a lot longer than that. Their own covert ops assassinates rivals and informants for nearly a century, they have consistently sabre rattled their neighbors, they attacked the USS Liberty in an attempt to make us join them in an attack against Egypt, they've fed the USA false intelligence regarding WMDs in Iraq, the Zionists wanted to push the USA into overthrowing Lebanon+Syria+Iran during the 9/11 fiasco, 9/11 itself was a Mossad operation as their own agents were caught video taping the WTC buildings (2 planes 3 buildings) prior to it being destroyed than gleefully cheering as the buildings came down, and when Trump was in office fed us lies regarding gas attacks in Syria for the USA to get involved to overthrow Assad. Zionists have been leading the western powers by the nose for nearly a century as they controlled the media and finance. Even today no one can question a Jewish person or the ADL without being labeled an antisemite. Because to question or critique is to be antisemitic. You're either groveling before them or against them. No different from the Social Marxists in this country.

    This I agree. It's just plain fact.

    We do need to be active on this. But, it has to be policy that we know is not anti-Semitic, no matter what ADF or Israel might try to claim.

    Yes, the issues of Syria were treated in the USA as no more than a partisan football. The "red line" statement by Obama was treated as a partisan political event while there was no rational foreign policy proposed by critics. And, it got no better with Trump, who has no capability to form policy on absolutely anything. His "policy" is changed as he speaks at the podium, based on what he thinks will be appreciated by the audience. Policy designed to last for a day.

    As wishy washy as Trump was politically during his tenure he wasn't involved compared to the previous administrations. His ineptitude in regards to foreign policy in terms of the American Empire was a breath of fresh air for the USA and the world. If Trump was one of the "good" boys he would've kept arming the rebels, couped Assad, let ISIS roam freely, and probably would've went into Lebanon. His last action while in office was detrimental when he assassinated the Iranian General which served zero purpose to the USA. His dialogue with North Korea was definitely better than saber rattling which has been done for decades now. Overall I'd much rather have a cat elected President that did nothing compared to that of Biden/Obama/Bush.

    Pelosi's leadership focused on issues, and thus she was able to find agreement both in the House and in the Senate, thus creating bills that could pass congress.

    McCarthy can't say squat inside his own partisans.

    Republicans have failed America by creating a House contingent of children.

    I'm not very interested in your defense of Trump by random guess work.

    Trump's dealing with China was a catastrophe. He had the clear opportunity to unite pacific trade, which would have had real clout. Instead, he trashed that and went to the zoo with tariffs that hurt the US and our allies.

    I saw this same exact bullshit on another forum. Most likely it’s from a Russian propaganda farm aimed at sowing hatred.

    It’s not random. It’s a coordinated assault throwing every piece of lying bullshit against the wall to distract from what’s happening.
    The majority of these brain farts are only parroting Russian propaganda farms who flood the internet and social media with their hysterical culture war and qanon nonsense to keep the useful idiots riled up and promoting their anti American agenda.

    And yet a group of 300 or so unarmed man almost
    " Overthrew and destroyed democracy as we know it " on January the 6th.

    So you can't have it both ways. Evidently all you need to overthrow the United States government is about 300 of your buddies and some bear spray and maybe a guy in Buffalo horns.

    Then the incompetence would include the entire Republican party side of the House. When McCarthy made deals to make the crazies chairs of important committees in the House sane members should have stepped up but didn't. They've let a small group of radicals take over.
    On the plus side this can force him to push one of the bipartisan bills that are circulating to get some moderate Democrats to vote yes. It could put us back on the path to bipartisan governance, wouldn't that be swell? Might even get a building or at least a wing named for him someday.

    Trump’s legal issues and Soros sponsored DAs who let criminals walk are unrelated issues. The Soros DA in San Francisco was so bad that even that extremely progressive city so fit to remove him from office.

    Progressives know that already, but when in doubt divert the issue with Trump.

    Nonsense. Not GOP scoring trillion dollar deficit after trillion dollar deficit, or allow hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens walk across the border; and now he wants to give 500,000 illegal Venezuelan work permits while our own citizens are living paycheck to paycheck.
