You may think that's an asset - not caring what anyone thinks about you.

I would call that a fault. One need not change their stance, but having tact and class would go a long way towards acceptance. I know, you're a macho guy....

Now that takes talent. Using both fascist and nazi in the same paragraph. Kind of like doubling down on ignorant. You really need to study a little because you clearly know so little about fascists and nazis. The worst kind of ignorant fool is the one who doesn’t know how ignorant he is. You should adopt the words of that great philosopher. “Better to remain quiet and be thought the fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

Nancy Pelosi Should Face Trial for Orchestrating Her Attack on the US Capitol

by George McClellan | Feb 4, 2022 | Elections, Law and Order, Politics


This prosecution of January 6 is not about an attack on our Republic. This prosecution IS the attack on our Republic.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her faux January 6 Committee are still trying to imprison Americans who protested the voter count that installed a moron as the Commander-in-Chief as domestic terrorists. But that claim is being challenged because real evidence, not cooked up claims that have passed Liberal Fact Checkers, is falling apart. Pelosi should face trial and imprisonment for orchestrating her attack against our Constitution.

Defense attorney, Jonathon Moseley, has challenged the governments’ case against the Oath Keepers by destroying the prosecution’s case, in detail, as unproven lies and nonsense. Moseley can prove government prosecutors crafted a “fabricated case” against the Oath Keepers that are “false and reprehensible.”

He wrote: “This baseless prosecution is the greatest threat to the Republic since 1812. This prosecution is not about an attack on our Republic. This prosecution IS the attack on our Republic,” Moseley continued: “seeking to criminalize political dissent, free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of political association, and the right to petition government for the redress of grievances.”

Moseley criticized federal prosecutors for “dishonestly trying to deceive the public” for eight months by concealing the fact that six demonstration permits had been issued for the U.S. Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021. Implicit in those permits is the permission for people to have ingress and egress across the grounds to reach each event.”

Basically, the Oath Keepers face charges of “forcing their way into the U.S. Capitol Rotunda on January 6, 2021, through the famous Columbus Doors. The problem is, as Attorney Moseley points out, the outer doors, cast from solid bronze, would require a bazooka, an artillery shell, or C4 military-grade explosives to breach,” that did not happen! “You would sooner break into a bank vault than to break the bronze outer Columbus Doors.” The 20,000-pound brass doors that lead into the Rotunda on the east side of the U.S. Capitol are secured by magnetic locks that can only be opened from the inside by using a security code controlled by Capitol Police, Moseley wrote in an eight-page memo.

Presently, the Democrats desperately cling to the “WOKE” nonsense because it’s all they’ve got. Covid mandates and climate change, (lockdowns and weather) are presently the two most unimportant government-imposed non-crisis that afflict us. Add Pelosi’s demented scheme that the January 6 protest was an insurrection as a means to scare off other Americans protesting governments corruption at all levels, including corrupt school boards imposing CRT to redefine America’s culture from Constitutional republicanism to soul-killing socialism. The terror starts here! Who wants to be classified by government as domestic terrorists?

Some folks in our corrupt government are making money for themselves and lots of it. When exposed, government will lie and propagandize reasons for what they do or did, but those are excuses, not motives. When that strange feeling overcomes you that makes you suspect you just might be getting screwed, and the hair rises on the back of your neck because you’re not enjoying it, then that’s the beginning of wisdom. Try to grasp government’s imposed hidden motives that adversely affect us because when Democrat politicians are in control, they intend to stay there. It’s a lust for power, and their motives are always nefarious.

For Socialists, which includes Democrats and many Republicans, the end goal is a One World Government controlled by worldwide commercial corporations, possibly even an enlightened Chinese Communist government. To understand that, we must realize the Democrats’ scheme to neutralize America’s middle-class is wrapped up in their ongoing culture war to create a herd mentality of frightened Americans. That’s why politicians must continually create crisis after crisis just to keep us agitated, off guard, and thinking only government can protect us.

There are several things that irk my sense of political propriety. First is the alleged China Virus pandemic. It provided Democrats the opportunity to force mandatory herd compliance on Americans. The confusion of vaccinations, boosters shots, mandatory mask-wearing, only for this age group but not for that, and only this race but not that, are all clues to mass manipulation with one intended outcome, total compliance.

Like Zombies, they roam among us, like silly sheep happily running around masked simply because the government mandated them to do so and screaming at unmasked people who do not comply. They demand we present vaccination passports or some other unconstitutional evidence of inoculation, just so we can enjoy the few pleasures left to us not already destroyed by a socialist government.

These are the weak-minded Kool-Aide drinkers, a la Jim Jones’ failed great escape to Guyana exercise that Democrats want to establish as their conscience for compliance. Everybody in Guyana died, didn’t they? These zombie-like cretins are usually, indeed almost always, uneducated Democrats whose survival they argue lies only in the safety of the government-protected herd. Their commitment to stupidity is astounding! Herds, of course, are slaughter animals.

With the incompetent Joe Biden supposedly in the driver’s seat of our government, flailing away at ghosts with his faltering memory, his gaffes, and conflicting remarks; with a growing cadre of aroused and alarmed parents taking on politically dangerous school boards, we are seeing a slow turn to the right.

Is it too late? Can we endure three more years of Biden’s internal destruction of America? I don’t think so. Remember this, an armed and prosperous middle class with folks making their own decisions unencumbered by government regulations, and unafraid of governments reactions is about all that’s left to stem the tide. The 2022 campaign train is rolling! Do you have your ticket to board? And, beware of those false Republicans!

Can you imagine reading that and considering it ‘news’.
I mean, wow.

It’s like they gave someone’s hyper conservative douchey drunk uncle a Faux News MadLibs book and told him to make it a blog post.
If I don’t read it as comedy I get filled with deep despair that I share this planet with these types of people.

All you need to do is check out the what republicans have become thread to see what Republican party leaders thought about it when it happened. Since then people have come up with every conspiracy theory and excuse to shift the blame or act like what happened is not what happened. And just imagine, they used to claim they were the party of personal responsibility. They've sold their soul to trump.

BIDEN ECONOMY: Gas Prices Reach Highest Level Since 2014 When Obama Was in White House
By Joe Hoft
Published February 5, 2022 at 7:30am


The cost at the pump reached the highest prices since Obama was last in the White House.
CNBC reported today:

Gas prices rose to the highest level in more than seven years Friday, on the heels of the U.S. oil benchmark topping $90 per barrel for the first time since 2014.

The national average for a gallon of gas stood at $3.423 on Friday, according to AAA, slightly surpassing the prior high-water mark of $3.422 from Nov. 8.

TRENDING: GiveSendGo CEO Sends Gateway Pundit Exclusive Statement: Fundraising Platform Sees MASSIVE Surge in Traffic and One Million in Donations to Canadian Truckers in 12 Hours! - Relentless DDOS Bot Attacks

Friday’s price means consumers are now paying the most at the pump since Sept. 10, 2014, AAA data shows. The national average stood at $2.44 a year ago.
The rapid rise in prices is contributing to inflationary fears across the economy and is creating a headache for the Biden administration.

Conservative Treehouse has more.

Gasoline prices have risen, on average, 40% in the past 11 months. This leads to higher consumer costs across the board. Oil, currently $90/barrel, is going to go even higher as a merge of Biden economic, regulatory, energy and foreign policies are going to make things worse.

As the Obama-Biden administration previously said when they achieved their last historic increase in gas prices, “U.S. energy prices will necessarily skyrocket“, in order to achieve their ideological climate change objectives.

The Treehouse also adds that the price of gas is dependent upon who is in the White House:

Yes, a president can and does control the price of gasoline. What can a U.S. President and administration specifically do? We have abundant U.S. energy resources. Quite literally the strongest in the entire world.

Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized.
Finish the Dakota access pipeline.
Re-approve the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
Retract the stoppage of the Keystone pipeline to permit efficient oil transport shipments from Canada.
Stop blocking the expansion of coastal oil refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama (regulatory issue), as well as Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Seaboard.
Continue to develop natural gas as a clean burning fuel.
Drive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an export.
Unfortunately, this would mean reversing the entire energy policy of the current administration. The existing energy inflation and high prices of oil, natural gas and gasoline are a direct and intentional part of Joe Biden policy. That policy is driven by the leftist demand for a “green new deal.”

Biden has taken some action on the soaring gas prices in the US but unfortunately it didn’t help the US.

Is CNN Just a Demented Sex Club Masquerading As a News Network?

Kristi Leigh

More maskless hypocrisy on display at NFC Championship game, Trudeau describes praying truckers as violent, exposure of his false flag plants, and state media blaming convoy on Russia. Our government has accusing Russia of false flag operations and the latest CNN sex scandal. Here's your Media Malfeasance for the first week of February.

Don't forget the sending of US troops to Europe in defense of Ukraine is an attempt to bolster Bidens' approval ratings. And Pence denouncing Trump? Pence was never more than a deep state hanger--on-er, an establishment insider.

What did he get wrong about fascists and Nazis? Look at the form of government that they advocate. Look at how the Nazis came to power. I’ll be interested to debate you on this topic since you know so much.

By the way, the “philosopher” you were referring to is Lincoln.

Ron Klain may soon be out as White House chief of staff
NEWS
SAMUEL MANGOLD-LENETT February 06, 2022

As the Biden administration continues to garner low approval ratings amid frequent setbacks to its legislative agenda, President Biden is being pressured to shake things up among his staff.

It increasingly appears that Ron Klain, the White House chief of staff, may end up losing his job as the president’s top adviser.

Critics say that Klain has pushed the administration leftward on a number of crucial policy issues, resulting in a seemingly perpetual series of blunders.

Notably, Klain’s own Twitter was cited in the 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that struck down the Biden administration’s private-sector vaccine mandate.

Klain retweeted a statement that celebrated the OSHA vaccine mandate as “the ultimate work-around” for the federal government to require large-scale vaccination.

Klain is also believed to be the person responsible for leaking news of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement.

Democratic leaders in Congress appear to be growing increasingly frustrated with Klain.

According to the Daily Mail, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Klain’s relationship grew tense due to his role in negotiating the Build Back Better legislative package and the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

Additionally, it appears that Klain is responsible for souring West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin’s relationship with the White House. The Washington Post reports that Klain had a key role in drafting the White House’s response to Senator Manchin’s opposition to Build Back Better.

Sen. Manchin has told his allies that he blames Klain for pushing President Biden further to the left on policy. Manchin made clear that Klain damaged the senator’s relationship with President Biden.

An unnamed federal lawmaker criticized Klain for his relationship with the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.). The Daily Mail reports that this lawmaker accused Klain of creating “a monster” and that he has given the appearance that Rep. Jayapal holds considerable influence over the White House’s legislative agenda.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in early February on 1,005 Americans left President Biden with his lowest approval rating yet: 41% of respondents said they approved of President Biden, while 56% disapproved.

Considering that Republicans have an 85% chance of retaking the House of Representatives and a 73% chance of retaking the Senate in the 2022 midterm elections, it appears that the Biden administration will be unable to advance its legislative agenda – which may be why Klain hinted that his time as chief of staff could end in 2022.

If Republicans retake both chambers of Congress, it is likely that Klain will have an even worse time negotiating policy.

Republican members of Congress are even calling for President Biden to fire him.

Ignoring the acts of treason that Trump admitted to makes perfect sense as to what Republicans have become...

I find it curious that there doesn't seem to be anyone left on the board 'standing up for Trump'… they've all gone silent or disappeared. His national political support doesn't seem to be dwindling much at all. Leaves me thinking there is a very large part of our society lying about their intent. They won't voice their support for Trump but still support him.

I feel like, if you can't condemn Trump, or don't want him charged with treason/sedition/other high crimes at this point, then you are a Trump supporter, no matter the lies you spew.

The whole purpose of this thread is to disparage Dems for doing their jobs, unlike the republican version that points out actual BAD crap happening everyday due to bad actors on the right. They will never see the difference. One side trying to save our democracy while the other side tries to kill it.

"... but Trump..." is not an argument. If the situation was truly as black-and-white as you try to make it out to be (right = bad, left = good) then you shouldn't have to invoke Trump when someone criticizes your guy.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

Sadly, as per usual, we were left with the choice of the lesser of two evils. As it pertains to evil I don't think there's actually a comparison to be made here. I think it's pretty clear.

OR they shouldn't even try to criticize our guy after they elected theirs. smh. Personally, I don't value a single GOPers words enough to ever want to even hear them. I don't think their party should have a right to any damn thing as long as Trump is breathing. Traitors and insurrectionists SHOULD NOT have a seat at the table. It's pretty damn clear that Trump still leads that party and the RNC just confirmed that by calling Jan. 6th political discourse. So don't lay that BS on me. GOPers are doing this to themselves. And Trump is still at the center of it all.

Just because your guy isn't has bad as trump doesn't mean he is not allowed to be criticized.

I don’t think I would call Biden “OCD’s Guy” but I agree with your premise. He deserves a lot of criticism.

That being said, there are definitely two camps of criticism: objective and unhinged. People can lay out rational points critiquing blunders and decisions, which should be followed by a logical discourse. On the other hand, you have SB’s actual intent on making this thread just about throwing anything against the wall and seeing what sticks, simply due to the fact Biden is a democrat. The Thanks Y’all thread is another, actually more egregious example. Those minds were made up and the proverbial guns were loaded no matter what events unfolded during this administration.

Could you say the same about the flip-side: yes, obviously. To me, however, at this current point in history, the two are not close though.

There was a time. Not to long ago actually I though Bill Maher was really out there. Afte Bernie, AOC, and other deranged nut jobs. I am finding out Bill Maher is actually one of the lefts most common sense people. I don't agree with many things he stands for but he makes sense. Most of the left's progressives make no sense at all.

Bill Maher has been centrist for the last decade. And he hasn't been funny for a while. Also, him embracing Fox News is the dumbest crap I've ever seen on his show.

I could get into semantics about how I might disagree with him on certain issues, like the heated car sensor, and that I don’t think Democrats were as virtuous and level headed a few decades ago as he alludes to. In fact, I think the cronyism of a lot of the mainstream career Democrats has given rise to both the growing progressive wing and the “kook” wing that he pokes fun at, which is not unlike the Republicans either.

I digress. Overall, though, I can’t really disagree with the vast majority of what he said.

I never thought he was that funny either, and I think his arrogance is only rivaled by that of one other public figure. Putting that aside, I think his criticisms isolated to the video above have some merit. In similar merit to what you are alluding to though, I think his inference that things used to be fine is ignorance at best.

He's been on this anti cancel culture shtick ever since he got uninvited to some college. I don't like the far left stuff, like pregnant man emojis. That crap is crazy. But fighting for lower rents/mortgages or for relief for those behind due to covid lock-downs… that's what dems do; they fight for the working class, disadvantaged, and poor. Bill Maher, in his celebrity, has forgotten that bit. His comedy these days is more like grumpy old men.

I don't mind the idea of being against cancel culture. The problem is people act as though it's a problem only with Democrats. That's false. Republicans and religious leaders have called for boycotts and attacked actors, musicians and companies for decades now. This is a shared philosophy employed by both parties and people from different backgrounds. Nobody has the market corned on cancel culture.

I think some dems do that, arguably most. Some say that they do and really don’t and/or have ulterior motives, and a couple of them don’t really do it at all.

I disagree.

I think Bill Maher highlights the worst of the Democratic leadership and rightly so.

I'll always remember a line from Lewis Black when he was doing a live stand up and shredding Bush .... his comment was along the lines of whoever is in power and whoever is being moronic is going to be the focus of his attention, he did it to Obama and now that Bush is in charge and giving him material, he's going to do it to Bush.

Bill Maher isn't a politician. He doesn't need to be fair and balanced. He needs to be topical and he does it by pointing out the lunacy of the people most relevant or most in the news. When you can point to what he says and say what he says isn't true - maybe we can have a conversation. Claiming he isn't mentioning what the Democratic party may or may not be doing in other areas - doesn't make Bill a bad person. That's not his job. It's not what gets ratings. And using Fox because they mentioned him? Not a sin either.

It is rather humorous how a source spends years and years lambasting a guy only to jump on and use something they finally agree with him about.

Opportunism has been a long running theme of politicians these days.

Democrats don't help the poor and disadvantaged, they do the exact opposite, they take advantage of them and use them.
"fighting or lower rents, mortgages" ?? No.
Obamacare, more burden on the poor, inflation burden on the poor, Hurting oil and gas burden on the poor. Supporting criminals burden on the poor. insisting on false education, ie teaching trans-sexual acceptance instead of real knowledge, burden on the poor. raising gas prices, defunding police, harming public transportation, stopping free speech, starting wars and identity politics, cancel culture, every last thing the democrats do if not an attack on life is, or is also a burden on the poor.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

When the kind of dems who fight their whole lives for stuff like that run, all the dolts buy into the establishment line and won't vote for them. Bernie, AOC, and about a dozen other true progressives are that kind of dem. And Dems are supposed to stand for the working class, poor, and disadvantaged but I agree many don't. As for Obamacare bro, it started out that way, but after all the big players cried loud, it ended up becoming a farce.

While ObamaCare doesn't reflect what it was intended to try to do - it is still an improvement than what went before. If that wasn't the case then it would have been easy for the last Administration to keep their Campaign promise and repeal it. But they didn't go near it with a barge pole because everything they tried to replace it with was worse by and large for the masses.

Who knew Healthcare could be so complicated.
