Another impeachable offense.

A year after President Donald Trump threatened "harsh measures" against Colorado unless the state released convicted election denier Tina Peters early from prison, new reporting has revealed an apparent extortion plot by the administration.

A newly disclosed email is renewing scrutiny over whether the White House followed through on that threat, wrote MS NOW's Steve Benen.

The New York Times reported that as Trump publicly criticized Colorado for incarcerating Peters, a former county clerk convicted of tampering with voting machines, the White House convened an urgent "brainstorm call" with five federal agencies to explore curbing federal support to the state. The next day, the Departments of Transportation and Energy announced they were canceling hundreds of millions of dollars in grants for Colorado projects.

Every President would be facing the ICC for what they did in office. So, Trump's Iran is no different than the other Presidents: they'd all be facing the ICC, charges, and arrest. The next US Presidemt will probably violate some ICC.

Next, illegal immigration. Toss them all out. Legal immigration vs illegal immigration. That's not a Dem or Rep position. The difference is enforcement. Were the deaths of people during illegal immigration enforcement illegal? That's why we have a judicial branch.

But, if you can be prevented from coming across the border without a trial, you shouldnt get a trial after sneaking in. Fine: the immigtation laws exist and the immigration courts. Use them. Close the borders until its done.

OK, let's talk SCOTUS.

The only balance for a Dem/Rep is 4 vs 4 on the bench with no deciding 9th vote. This prevents ideology deciding cases. If the result is 4-4, act like a jury. Go back and get a verdict and don't come back until you do.

Anyone who thinks their side picks Justices that are unbiased are liars.

Every judge walks around saying "I'll uphold the Constitution" while actions say "and my beliefs control my vote".

When the judges at any time lean one way or the other, it should never, ever be known ahead of time that it'll be a 5-4, 6-3, 7-2, 8-1 decision, voted by party lines.

I want a _____ on the ballot for EVERY OFFICE. Not just President. Every position I'm voting for. I want a write in vote for every job.

Stop both parties from controlling the choice by offering only two check boxes.

The US should close all 900+ foreign military bases.
The US should cut its spending to NATO, UN, until we pay less than #2.

Get rid of the law that says the US must provide troops in any country but at home. We freaking have 76,000 minimum troops under the NDAA? Those nations overseas should be putting up troops and defense spending.

Bring back the WPA. Able bodied people should be working for public assistance. Partially disabled is partially able.

Does this sound like I'm MAGA, DSA, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, etc?

I've been unaffiliated happily since Perot. I think he was my first vote for President. Independent means I am not subject to the party sole voter lever. Those that pull one lever are already a problem. It's lazy voting.

Alex,
Truly, I'm not a "MAGA," whatever that is and yes, I own a MAGA hat.
Before I retired, I had a life-size cardboard Trump standing against the wall in my office. I bought it during his first term as a conversation piece.
But do you honestly believe I approve of Trump's lifestyle? Do you believe he reflects my personal values, especially after everything I've posted here over the years?
All this "pedo" nonsense people posting one accusation after another is nothing more than an attempt to insult me by association.
I don't really care, but I hope it's all just part of the game. "You bought a Trump Bible ha ha."
How could anyone who knows my beliefs think I approve of the way Trump has lived?
I voted for the Republican candidate, who happened to be Trump.
Today, politically, I'm glad to see him taking on Iran. It's about d time someone did.
There is far more going on and far more at stake than what is immediately obvious or can be reduced to nuclear weapons, although I completely agree that those are a serious concern.
You have to compartmentalize politicians. Supporting someone politically does not mean embracing his character, lifestyle, or every decision he makes.
That doesn't mean I dislike everything about Trump either. I don't.
He is a smart man.
That's all I'll say.

what an incredibly revealing post

From the denial of MAGA being a thing
to the lifesize poster of Piggy
to the non denial denial of supporting piggy's lifestyle
to calling the Epstein scandal "nonsense" that he doesn't care about. He doesn't care that at a minimum piggy protects pedos, objectively protects pedos
to the iran war idiocy
to THINKING PIGGY IS A SMART MAN

Now THAT is funny

A post rarely reveals so much about a person

Dummkopf Trumpf and the Omani Ambassador to the US Talal Sulaiman Habib Alrahbi:


Maybe the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) has no real estate, hotel, golf resort, or crypto deals with Oman, like they have with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
