    Your favorite is a corrupt FBI agent that lied to get a warrant to spy on a political campaign, based on other lies?...lol

    Ahh! Finally you admit it. Good job! Usually ya'll only mention the "fight like hell" part, even your boy Jack Smith did that in one of his statements.
    I'm glad you are seeing the light. Keep it up

    How do you get change if you keep voting against changing anything? Partisans work to change things those who insist on surrendering principles in order to "get something done" will never get anything done worth doing.

    You're the one who wants to vote for more of the same, not me.

    You did not answer the question.

    You are saying that the indictment against Trump is for saying "protest peacefully"?

    I don't see anyone accusing Cruz of having principles.

    The only thing she got wrong in that quote was the percentages. Nowadays they are WAY off base.

    What Bullshit. People like you look for one ridiculous excuse after another to refer to Dems as socialists. Look at your pathetic rationale right here. Who are you to decide who is and is not the 'heart and soul' of my party? Sanders was a two times loser in my party's primary, and there is no objective criteria to declare AOC anything but two term Congresswoman from New York.

    You pick who YOU WANT to be the 'heart and soul' of my party because it fits your narrative not mine and you can label an entire party.

    I pick as the 'heart and soul for Republican party, the actual two time winner of that party's primary and its single most popular candidate for a third nomination Donald J Trump

    Wuuuut? :shock:

    These are the words of a "true patriot".

    I could have been relaxing at Mar-a-Lago or in the south of France ― which I would prefer to being in this country, frankly.”

    Of what country?

    :roll:

    Sorry E, I saw "true patriot" and then I saw red. Anyway the absurdity bears repeating. :salute:

    That would be BS if somebody believed that, but nobody does.
    Who's opinion is that supposed to be, Clinton's or mine? Just one more example of you asserting what Dems think and believe based on your cynical hyperpartisan political purpose.

    You may not be able to ask Hillary, but you can ask me, because its my statement you quoted.

    No, it's not common knowledges. It is, however, an inaccurate trope banging around right wing echo chambers.

    Here are the facts:

    1. "BleachBit" Usage: The term "bleaching" refers to the use of a software tool called BleachBit by a technician from Platte River Networks, the company responsible for managing Clinton's server. BleachBit is a program that can securely erase files so that they are difficult to recover. According to the FBI's investigation, this tool was used to delete emails from the server. However, the FBI found no evidence that the emails were deleted to hide information or obstruct justice, and the deletion took place after a request from Clinton's staff to reduce the amount of stored data but before a formal subpoena had been issued.

    2. Destruction of Devices: The FBI's investigation did note that Clinton's staff physically destroyed some of her mobile devices, possibly as many as 13. This was reportedly done as a measure to protect sensitive information, following standard practices at the State Department when retiring old devices. The FBI was unable to recover all the devices and, therefore, could not complete a full analysis of the data they may have contained.

    3. Subpoena Timing: The deletion of emails using BleachBit occurred after a request from Congress to preserve emails but before a specific subpoena was issued. It's a complex timeline, and the issue was contentious, leading to different interpretations and arguments.

    4. No Criminal Charges: The FBI concluded its investigation into Clinton's email practices by recommending that no criminal charges be filed. Then-FBI Director James Comey described Clinton's and her staff's actions as "extremely careless" but did not find evidence of intentional wrongdoing or obstruction of justice.

    Even if true, few Trump supporters will care enough to abandon him. I think those still loyal to Trump after all these years are in for the long haul. Anyway Trump is genius level at creating plausible narrative to counter unflattering reports of him that his base then eat up. Left does the same but not at Trumps genius level.

    Why is it so hard to understand that any and all official emails had government sources or destinations and she could not erase them at the other end. All she could erase were the copies at her end.

    In a way, this thread is totally delicious.

    It's about Trump clearly saying that he would prefer to live in France than in the USA, a statement that would have gotten any American politician flayed and quartered in the past and yet, most righties here are just merrily dogwhistling past the graveyard and have already segued to Hillary Clinton "bleaching" her server.

    The only word that has been missing that would really make this thread delicious is the following word.

    Wait.

    I'll only give the first three letters of said word and then throw it like chum into the lake:

    BEN____

    Ok, have fun!

    Does France not have extradition to the USA? Russia's his best bet for Vlad's lapdog.

    Or, Joe Biden can simply pardon him when the time comes.

    Why yes, France does indeed have an extradition treaty with all 51 US states and DC.
    But you really didn't expect Trump to be smart enough to know this, or?
    Please note how I formulated my first sentence. It's important.

    Also Joe can't pardon him for Georgia's state crimes.

    No. They indict presidents for breaking the law.
    Sarkozy appealing the ruling, but will lose. On the hook for another crime as well.
    I think you chose poorly.

    Does he see France as being more receptive to lawbreaking grifters with a penchant for autocracy?

    The core philosophy of your party has evolved into government control of human beings. You have to use the right pronouns for sexually unusual people or you are cancelled. The government must spend more and more even when the debt level has reached the point where the monetary system is threatened. The government turns out regulations at a dizzying pace. This type product (motor vehicles, dish washer, gas stoves, toilets, light bulbs, refrigerators) MUST meet the government’s standards or the manufacturer will be fined. You have got a lot of nerve telling I am full of crap when the situation is so obvious.

    As for Bernie Sanders, he would have gotten the nomination if the Democrat leaders had not come in to cut him off. If I were a Democrat, I’d be ticked at him because he’s always refused to join the party. Why give a man the highest honor you can bestow on him when he won’t become a part of group?

    Still, he has huge influence. He may not have gotten the Democrat nomination, but he may have well been elected. The group that controls the Biden puppet has pretty much pushed for the Sanders agenda.

    Why are afraid of the “socialist “ label? Do you think it’s going to cost you votes? Or are you unable to admit what your political philosophy has become?

    You party refers to all of us as MAGA Republicans, even though some us think that Trump acts like a jack ass and desperately want another candidate. The only Republicans who don’t fall under you pejorative are people like Liz Chaney who has evolved into another sort of Republican, “jemmy ass,” who has thrown in with the extreme Democrats, and turned her back on us. She became a hybrid of the two parties the a Republican label but Democrat philosophy. I don’t know what she got for selling her soul to go on the January 6 Committee, but what ever it was, it bought her a much deserved ticket to political retirement.
