The Left’s Mangled Guardrails

... .. That model proved gold for Democrats during Donald Trump's first term as president. The constant refrain that the "tyrant" was unraveling democracy provided their justification for tearing through standards and norms. In the name of saving the country from Trump excesses, we were told, holdover acting Attorney General Sally Yates had to defy presidential orders, the Federal Bureau of Investigation needed to lie to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, a special counsel was required to dog a sitting president, the bureaucracy had a duty to "resist" Trump policy, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had to undergo a circus inquisition, and Congress had no choice but to hold Trump officials in contempt, issue unprecedented subpoenas and impeach the president.

Ah, a totally vaccuous WSJ Opinion piece.

Where's that garbage can when you need it?

Another garbage pile thread by the usual suspect. Why am I NOT surprised.

It's Jeff's way of deflecting attention away from his vehement support for a traitor to the United States of America by attacking "leftist" Same song and dance.

#3 | Posted by LauraMohr at 2025-01-17 10:41 AM

Corky's entire M.O. is attacking the source. It's all he does. Ever.

#4 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-01-17 10:52 AM

The source is crap... known, historically willfully ignorant crap.

Crap.... sorta like the people who obfuscate for Traitors, Liars, and Criminals.

She's not obfuscating on Biden's behalf.

You simply cannot handle the truth or abide any observations that don't conform to your cloistered views.

#6 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-01-17 11:13 AM

your cloistered views.

#6 | Posted by BellRinger

Again, such a hypocrite.

#7 | Posted by Zed at 2025-01-17 11:17 AM

I was talking about you, not her, dimmy... and the Leader of Your Party is is the Traitor, Liar, and Criminal, not Biden.

You obviously wouldn't know, or care about, the Truth even if it bit you on the ass; your only purpose here is to troll as a moronic rwinger on a yellow dog Dem site.

Why does being stone-cold hypocrites never bother MAGA?

Either your psychological defenses are enormously elaborated or you have no personal pride to start with.

Which are you?

#9 | Posted by Zed at 2025-01-17 11:19 AM

If we could understand BELLRINGER, we might be able to understand MAGA.

Unfortunately, his lack of personal insight and ingrained habits of deception prevent that.

#10 | Posted by Zed at 2025-01-17 11:23 AM

"lack of personal insight and ingrained habits of deception"

#10 | Posted by Zed

Maybe I explained MAGA.

#11 | Posted by Zed at 2025-01-17 11:24 AM

Brett Kavanaugh had to undergo a circus inquisition

Posted by BellRinger

Judge Keg was a CLOWN at his own hearings and created the circus.

Anyone can watch the tapes of that and see.

WHY do you people LIE about things just right out in the open?

#12 | Posted by Zed at 2025-01-17 11:29 AM

" Your Party is is the Traitor, Liar, and Criminal, not Biden."

Biden is all of those things and then some. Far more authoritarian than his predecessor.

#13 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-01-17 11:29 AM

You're lost, BELLRINGER. You did not grow up to be a good or decent man.

Take those planks from out of your eyes. We can discuss my splinters at some later date.

#14 | Posted by Zed at 2025-01-17 11:30 AM

Biden is all of those things and then some.

#13 | Posted by BellRinger

Insane.

You and your people have had all this time to prove it.

But, and it disgusts me, proof is not what you people are into.

#15 | Posted by Zed at 2025-01-17 11:32 AM

(Biden) Far more authoritarian than his predecessor.

#13 | Posted by BellRinger

Jesus.

Did we make you angry? Is this why you want to say these things?

#16 | Posted by Zed at 2025-01-17 11:33 AM

Donald Trump is a kind and decent man.

As usual, ballwasher posts drivel that's little more than an admission disguised as an accusation.

Meanwhile, he pules "I dooooonnnn't like Truuuummmpp" whenever it's pointed out that he's a water carrying sycophant.

#19 | Posted by jpw at 2025-01-17 11:46 AM

JPW toed the line that Biden is sharp as a tack.

Sit this one out. You are out of your depth.

If you have to lie, you've already lost.

Then again, looking at this thread...we know you're already lost.

Jeff once again looks like an idiot.

Same as every other day.

I liked this one, as the lumpers complain about oligarchy.

Billionaire George Soros recently bought 200+ radio stations in 40 markets with 165 million listeners.
Joe Biden's FCC fast-tracked the deal, breaking a precedent and internal procedures to affirm it before the November election.

Shouldn't you find out whether the "lumpers" agree or disagree with that action first?

Watching Jeffybelle turn into Robson/Visitor is hilarious. Popcorn, pls.

#29 | Posted by ClownShack at 2025-01-17 03:09 PM

40 years too late.

Murdoch cornered that market 40 years ago and Musk/Zuck have the millennials and Gen Z'ers eating out of their palms.

Let's get this straight.. rwing troll trolls with rwing Opinion piece, whines about the retorts, then claims victory.

Here's your "Trophy" A single roll of single ply toilet paper. You haven't won ANYTHING Jeff. This is what supporting MAGA has gotten you. Thinking you're a winner when you've sided with the losing team. You think you've won because Trump won. You just haven't realized yet that you've already lost. Now it's all about attacking the shadows in your own mind. Just sayin Jeff.

Biden has always been a petty, spiteful and corrupt politician.

No, I'll tell the truth. It's not "hateful and bigoted", but you liberals have labeled the truth as such.
