    My opinion is that the SOTU address is not a useful source for any kind of reliable information, but is rather a big propaganda show.

    I don't watch them anymore.

    All the guys wearing hoods or sporting swastikas now vote Republican. You smooch their heinies.

    Just making it clear where we all stand. The left punches the KKK and Nazis. The right kisses their butts and calls them their base.

    Let me guess. You've never uttered even the slightest criticism of the actions of Trump, the Republican party, or the many conservatives who call for the extermination of liberals.

    The two sides are nothing alike, and by running cover for the bad guys, you willingly do their bidding.

    Really, to me it seems you haven't seen light since you were 30. I don't know what school you went to but, I never felt anyone tried to "brainwash" me when I was at college. They were working hard to teach me, and HELP me become a person of value; to myself and society. It's a shame you came to be so jaded in so few years after your education.

    I don't think it's the source of all that is bad. Not all spending, government, private or personal, produces value. But, OUR government isn't the greatest ever on earth because every penny it has spent was squandered.

    Again, all the guys flying swastikas are your side. You gleefully smooch the keisters of those antisemites.

    A third of the GOP is part of the Q-cult, which is openly antisemitic.

    Elon the Space Nazi? Also an antisemite, and now a leader of your side.

    Almost all the antisemitism comes from your side, and by running cover for it, you make yourself a part of it.

    Democrats punch antisemites. Republicans call them their base.

    You have a unique way of ignoring reality. The Israeli Hamas conflict has really brought the anti-semite Democrats out of the woodwork with a passion.

    Not since the Dixiecrat days. All the white southern racists bolted to the repub party when the dems started championing civil rights.
    Nixon and Reagan relied on the so-called southern strategy to woo the disgruntled whites. I can still remember Reagan grousing about welfare queens in Cadillacs to rile up his newly attracted base.
    The repubs have been turning more and more into the party of racists, bigots and misogynists ever since, and now they’re trying to attract quislings to their mix because trump is the quisling in chief.

    Best quote I’ve read so far…


    “I'd rather a guy with 81 years behind him than a guy with 91 indictments in front of him"

    Haven’t seen the light? One might say the same about you.

    When I went to college, the only conservative professors were those who taught economics. All the arts and science professors I had were Democrats. Some of them were very militant, and a few of them were unapologetic socialists. This was a “conservative school,” the University of Delaware in the late 1960s.

    It’s got to worse now. Look at the college reaction to the Hamas cease fire. They ignore the October 7 attacks and do all they can to protect the perpetrators.

    Especially when the vast majority of those 91 indictments are phony and politically motivated. The Democrats have learned to use the Justice System as a political weapon.

    I find that incredulous ... but whatever dude.
    That's not true.

    The one Democrat professor, I know of for sure that I had, taught a class on our Constitution, and he did change my way of thinking. In fact he changed my life; he instilled in me a deep unshakeable love of our Constitution and my Country. The Bastard.

    When you cut taxes, that increases economic activity, which increases incomes, which increases tax receipts. That has happened frequently. It worked for Kennedy, Reagan and Trump administrations. It’s a part of Keynesian economic theory, which wrongly condemned by conservatives.

    The problem with inappropriate tax cuts is that they can cause inflation, just like excessive government spending, which happed after Biden passed he excessive spending bills.

    It worked for Kennedy, because he planned it and was judicious about it. Regan and tRaitor tRump increased our rate of debt increase exponentially and like no other president before them.
    WOW! You're prof's couldn't have been all bad.
    That's not why we had high inflation at the beginning of President Biden's administration. Pent up demand after COVID caused high inflation when President Biden took office, his spending hadn't even kicked in yet. :wtf:

    There were professors who conducted their classes in a politically neutral way, but the left wingers were the teachers who were most noted.

    So far as the constitution is concerned, are you in favor of packing the Supreme Court? How about using the Justice Department and FBI to punish your political opponents? Does that bother you? As long as a Republican is in the crosshairs, probably not.

    How long are you going to ignore that crooked New Jersey senator? I know. He needs to be convicted, but that standard does not apply to Trump. He’s never been convicted or even indicted for insurrection, yet that was the basis for Democrats to throw him off the ballot.

    There are two tiers of justice, one for Democrats and another for Republicans.

    My experience was my professors were politically neutral professionally, except for one and he was militantly conservative. I only know what party my "Constitution" professor was affiliated with because we worked an election together as political counterparts; he on the Democrat side, me on the Republican.
    Those are politically charged and biased questions, having NOTHING to do with the Constitution.

    I actually think we could use a two or three more Supreme Court Justices to help with their case load. I would be against the DOJ punishing "political opponents", without respect to party, IF it ever happened. I certainly was against Barr acting as tRaitor tRump's personal attorney.
    What makes you think I'm ignoring the Menendez debacle? I think there is sufficent evidence against Menendez to try him, if he's convicted they can put him deep in a prison and throw the key away for all I care.
    So you've already tried him in the court of your den? :shock:
    Apparently no "standard applies to tRaitor tRump.
    A Colorado judge did find that he committed insurrection.
    Well, yes and no, there ARE two tiers of justice, one for tRaitor tRump and one for everyone else. If you or I had done ANY of the things tRaitor tRump has been accused of we would have been to trail and, most likely, convicted a long time ago.
