Everything about you is a cliche. It wasn't that difficult.

BTW- I don't drive a Prius. Nice try, though.

Basic math.

I want to know more about this "overcompensation", lmao.

Stay out of this Pit. Grown ups are talking.

In the now infamous words of Disappeared Diam... 1+1=2.

Awe, when the going gets tough you throw stones. It's odd how somebody who has no stones finds them if they need something to throw. In case you missed it, compared to Clem your adulting skills are lacking and as usual you have no "adult answers" to any of my questions.

What was your question? Basic Math?

Since you claim you wish to hold an adult conversation you can start here. It's not my fault you can't actually follow along with a thread.

Pit I don't have time to hang on here like you and your right I think a White person? that walks around with a tee-shirt that says " White people are terrorists " is ridiculose and probably a Biden supporter like you. Are you that Woke that you don't see how ridiculous that person is to most people.

I do drive a Dodge Ram. Does that make my masculinity suspect? Do you think all people that drive pickups are over comensating?

I think it has about as much validity as the meme you posted. So if you actually think you made a point then you may wish to take it seriously. If you realize you were just slinging mud and didn't make a point at all then I wouldn't think much of it.

BTW- I was a Biden supporter because the only other viable choice was a totally vile human being. The choices weren't good.



No, some people have work or property that makes a truck a common sense approach for transportation. But yes, some people drive trucks and Hummers to overcompensate. They have no actual use for them and buy big, beefy vehicles for no real logical reason.

As with most things there is no one size fits all. That's something you may wish to look into.

i just want everyone to notice that I actually addressed everything and question you posed while You still didn't answer one of mine. You won't be afforded that luxury moving forward.

Now it's time for you to address the questions I posed. Step up Butter Cup.

Odd, some 4 1/2 years ago that excuse for who some voted for fell on deaf ears.

Four and a half years ago the choices were so terrible I couldn't vote for either candidate. At least this time one of them was a decent human being. I know that's a pretty low bar but at this juncture it was a huge improvement.

Juan Williams: The GOP is now the party of grifters and kooks

William F. Buckley once interviewed me. And I covered President Reagan for The Washington Post.

Now imagine how those conservative heroes might react to the latest news about today’s Republican leaders.

First, the Trump 2020 campaign ripped off its small donors last year by nudging them into authorizing repeat donations from their credit cards, according to The New York Times.

Then the main Republican House campaign group followed up by brazenly threatening any small donor who wanted to just make a one-time donation.

“If you UNCHECK this box [for recurring donations], we will have to tell Trump you’re a DEFECTOR & sided with the Dems,” says the National Republican Congressional Committee’s donation page on WinRed, the key platform for conservative online fundraising.

Also last week, conservatives who thought they were sending money to support Second Amendment gun rights found out they, too, had been ripped off.

According to depositions made public at a National Rifle Association (NRA) bankruptcy hearing last week, NRA President Wayne LaPierre hid on a 108-foot yacht after school children died in mass shootings. The boat’s owner is tied to a fundraising firm paid $11.5 million by the NRA in 2019.

LaPierre said he thought to himself: “Thank God I’m safe, nobody can get me here.”

What hypocrisy for a man who raised hundreds of millions by telling conservatives to buy lots of guns to be safe. Despite an endless gun supply, he fled to sea for safety.

He previously admitted to using his donors’ money to buy expensive suits. He is also alleged to have given no-show contracts to his pals and written a $17 million post-employment contract for himself.

At this point, Buckley and Reagan must realize their conservative movement has become a circus of grifters and con men.

But don’t take my word on their disgust.

Former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) agrees.

The best known Republicans on Capitol Hill today, Boehner writes in a new book, are not conservatives. Instead, the front rank of the party is filled by loudmouths willing to voice the wildest conspiracy theories.

These pretend conservatives rake in money by being stars in what Boehner calls “Looneyville,” the echo chamber of right-wing radio hosts and even further right websites.

In “On the House: A Washington Memoir,” Boehner said the conservative heritage of the Republican Party has been sunk by the power of “fawning right-wing media and outrage-driven fundraising.”

As for actually working to pass legislation in the tradition of Reagan, today’s Republicans dismiss such efforts. They get more attention by slamming anyone on their side of the aisle trying to make deals with Democrats as a “traitor,” Boehner said.

“Reagan used to say something to the effect that if I get 80 or 90 percent of what I want, that’s a win. These guys [the ‘Tea Party’ vintage Republicans who came to Congress after the 2010 midterm elections] ... didn’t really want legislative victories. They wanted wedge issues and conspiracies and crusades,” Boehner writes.

The former Speaker’s description of the Tea Party class of 2010 is even more true of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), the best-known of what might be called the Trump/QAnon class of 2020.

Boehner’s conclusion is that Republicans in Congress are now in the grips of “the crazy caucus,” a group he defines as encompassing “garden-variety whack jobs to insurrectionists.”

Their lack of conservative principles, Boehner explains, led to the acceptance of Trump’s endless conspiracy theories, beginning with the lie that former President Obama was not born in the United States.

And that led to acceptance of the “Big Lie” about the 2020 election being stolen from Trump and, incredibly, Trump’s supporters rioting at the Capitol.

Trump “incited that bloody insurrection for nothing more than selfish reasons, perpetuated by the [censored] he’d been shoveling since he lost a fair election,” Boehner explained.

The riot should have been “a wake-up call for a return to Republican sanity,” Boehner warns. He wants conservatives to revolt and take control of the GOP away from self-promoters who stop both parties from getting anything done in Congress.

The Biden White House has concluded — correctly, I believe — that there is no longer anything to be gained from trying to reason and negotiate with what remains of conservative Republicans.

The right-wing media that Boehner describes as controlling the GOP give Republicans no incentive to work with Biden and applauds them every time they obstruct him.

So why bother wasting time and energy and political capital trying to reason with them when Biden already knows the outcome?

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) gave the game away last week when he said there would be no Senate Republican votes for the infrastructure bill. Full stop.

So Biden is going it alone on the business of governing from COVID-19 relief to infrastructure to voting rights.

Back in February, I wrote in this column that America needs two healthy political parties:

“In fact, it pains me to see the cancerous gang of grifters, white supremacists and conspiracy-theory mad hatters who are killing the party of conservative principles.”

The grifters will always find suckers to give them money.

But when it comes to the GOP as a legitimate conservative, governing party, well, the party’s over.

Like I've mentioned before, I don't like to pigeonhole myself into parties or banners, but most of my ideals fall in line with what were traditionally conservative values. Again, not trying to pigeonhole myself or paint with a broad brush because I feel like politics is much more 3D than just linear between left and right.

That being said, I can't disagree with what this article is saying. I used to be very critical of people like Boehner and others in the GOP who I thought were disingenuous obstructionists at the time. Nowadays, I wish nearly everyone in office as a Republican was more like Boehner.

I was joking about it with a friend of mine who is more liberal-slanted. He laughed and compared it to how he used to be a vocal critic of W, but then spent a lot of time missing W during 2017 - 2021.

I've never heard of "Barrack The Magic Negro" until you, Rocket, posted it. I had to google the quote to find out what you were talking about.

I found these links which explained the origin of your quote.

https://pjmedia.com/blog/ruben-navarrett...y-racist-n18003

https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2007/03/23/barack_the_magic_negro_explained2/

Since you're accusing Rush, I included his explanation.

The other link is to a conservative website, which I know you'll disregard.

At any rate, I don't care to participate in your race-baiting. Man, I feel sorry for your poor students, having to sit and listen to your political BS.

Saying racist behavior is parody or satire doesn’t work.

Also, I’ve had students think I’m a giant Trump supporter. I never share my political beliefs or who I support in the classroom. So again, nice try but you’re wrong.

So when are you going to launch a racist statement and then claim “it’s just parody!!!”

From my PJ Media link:

So if the concept of “Barack the Magic Negro” is racist, then who exactly is the racist? Chip Saltsman? Paul Shanklin? David Ehrenstein? Or maybe those African-American powerbrokers, like Rev. Al Sharpton, who questioned whether Obama was really black and applied a litmus test to find out?

Maybe it’s all of the above, or none of the above.

Maybe what we should be worried about, instead, is how quickly those on the Left jump at the chance to paint the opposing camp as hostile to minorities — so they can score cheap political points, manipulate the slighted, and continue to reap a benefit that is unearned.

Now that’s offensive.

Do you really have no original thought? Will we ever hear what you believe about the world outside of your disdain for Red Kennedy?

Trump’s mini-me tucker Carlson is out here preaching white replacement theory like it’s a real thing.

Honestly all the right does now is fear monger. Atleast they use to do other things, but now it’s ALL they ever do.

Listen to Fox News all day, you’d think it was white people being colonized, not the ones notoriously doing the colonizing.....

Which is still weird because it’s white people in charge of the entire immigration system in the first place. So in Fox News world, are white people trying to exterminate themselves? I’m struggling to understand the logic and reasoning behind these fear tactics.

I see that TDS has lasted long after his removal. LOL

Excuses and rationalizations for promoting “Barack the Magic Negro” is proof of everything I've thought about you. Thanks for clearing up any doubts I may have had previously.

LOL. Trump is still relevant and still a threat to the USA because he is still manipulating and controlling a spineless GOP. But this thread was started while he was in office. I guess it's been added to because he's done things, said things and FOX (most watched network in the USA) still doing their bit to keep him front and center.

--> but yes, try to dismiss the topics at hand so you don't have to address them. Much easier.

I love how he stays in your head rent free.

That's as valid as letting you know how much I love living rent free in your head. . . I mean you came in here again and responded.

If you can live somewhere rent free, you are probably overpaying.

It’s such a silly response. Always an eye roller.

Trumps favorite Beatles tune is “Back in the USSR”

Oh man the Republicans are eating their weak. Last night on Hannity, Geraldo and Bongino had a heated exchange with some bannable words. Trumpism is destroying the GOP and I love it.

MTG
She should be careful what she wishes for... This is the best the GOP has to offer? lmao

I'm not an AOC hater or fan ... but I think she'd eat MG's lunch.

AOC will never agree to a debate because she's a idiot.

Ocasio-Cortez attended Boston University, where she double-majored in international relations and economics, graduating cumm (had to spell it wrong, two m’s, as the board censure wouldn’t let it pass) laude.
So yeah. Idiot for sure.

Marjorie won’t be able to keep pace. Period.

I even lean more towards being an AOC hater and I agree.

Not compared to MTG. Have you even bothered to listen to that idiot?

I hate a lot of her politics, but not her motivations, but yeah, I agree as well. It wouldn't be close. I'm 90% confident it would just devolve into MTG hurling wild claims and conspiracy theories.

Bro I legit want to know the intel behind Jewish space lasers.

I understand we’re in Bond villain territory here, but that sounds really cool.

Moses put them there.

I can't answer your question but I did see a 1/400 scale model of it that you can use to play with your cat on FB.

Senators reintroduce bill to block NATO withdrawal

A bipartisan group of senators reintroduced a bill Thursday aimed at blocking any U.S. president from leaving NATO.

“NATO has been a critical alliance for nearly 75 years,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), a member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, said in a statement. “It has ably served the U.S., our NATO allies and the world. This bill expresses clear congressional support for the continuing value of NATO and clarifies that no president acting alone can sever the bonds of the alliance.”

Kaine introduced the bill with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a fellow Foreign Relations Committee member and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. It has 13 co-sponsors from both parties.

The bill was previously introduced in the last two sessions of Congress amid concerns that then-President Trump would withdraw the United States from the military alliance, something he repeatedly voiced a desire to do.

President Biden, by contrast, has treated NATO warmly and emphasized the importance he places on allies, coordinating with NATO on several major policies including this week’s announcements on withdrawing from Afghanistan and sanctioning Russia.

But the reintroduction of the bill signals lawmakers’ continued support for the alliance, as well.

“As a critical military alliance for our national security interests and the security of our allies in Europe, NATO is more important than ever,” Rubio said in a statement. “With Moscow’s growing subversive aggressions, we must ensure no U.S. president withdraws from NATO without the advice and consent of the Senate.”

The bill would specifically require two-thirds approval from the Senate for a president to suspend, terminate or withdraw the United States from NATO.

Right now, presidents are required to get the consent of the Senate to enter into treaties. Article 13 of the NATO treaty requires a country give a one-year "notice of denunciation" before it can exit NATO.

In addition to requiring Senate approval for Trump to withdraw, the bill reintroduced Thursday would authorize the Senate Legal Counsel and the General Counsel of the House to challenge in court any attempt by the administration to withdraw from NATO without the Senate's consent.

The measure advanced out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2019, but was never taken up by the full Senate.
