The problem is even IF there is some tangible evidence, no one will believe it except MAGA because the Trump DOJ has cried "Wolf" so many times and come up with literally nothing.

Good job, MAGA. You played yourself.

Dude.

You should be embarrassed you posted that nonsense.

It's ironic you believe Sycophant is the one lacking self awareness.

The ~~Biden~~ Obama DOJ initiated the investigation.

All Black women politicians should be investigated. Look at the pop-lockin', Kool smokin' and purple drank drinkin' offspring they propagate. Be crimin' y'all!

Pedoringer will carry Trump's water until the day he's the one on the train. I wouldn't expect anything remotely close to intelligence from that moron.

Are MAGA so stupid they can't get the point? Sounds like it.

If either of you two made it past 1st grade, you'd have read the story of "The Boy who cried Wolf".

Let me break out the crayons:

Even if there IS a wolf here, no one will believe it because you cried wolf too many times before.

MAGA has zero self awareness.

Go sit in the corner. You're both too stupid to be here.

" When all you have is ad hominem you have nothing."

Shouldn't you be posting threads about $Melania's $75 million bribe, or the fact Trump's kids are profiting on deals with the government?

You sure were pissed at HRC's corruption you couldn't find, and Hunter Biden when he was accused of monetizing his dad's clout.

But, of course, that was (D)ifferent, because of (R)easons.

You have become such an ankle biter.

#12 | Posted by BellRinger at 2026-05-07 11:44 PM

"You have become such an ankle biter."

You've proven you're a water-carrying partisan hack. Screeched at every fake (D) scandal, and dead silent whenever (R)s do something worse.

Take Melanias bribe. Magnitudes more than the worst things HRC was ever accused of. Remember your condemnation?

Nobody else does either.

#13 | Posted by Danforth at 2026-05-07 11:50 PM

You are only proving my point - you have become such an ankle biter.

At times you can carry a good discussion and your knowledge of the tax code is impressive.

However, those "times" have become increasingly rare.

I would really like to have actual discussions on this site but it's become really difficult to find anyone willing to do so.

A certain level of trust is required for such discussions.

Now, if you'd like to discuss that, I might be willing.

In the meantime, what people like you have allowed to brew in this country is so existential that few people want to waste their time with disingenuousness.

If all you have are lies misinformation half truths and insults then you have less than nothing.

You have joined the cult of grifters whose main purpose is the undermining truth and justice and pocketing as much of the American taxpayers money as they can before the party is over.

It must be so frustrating for you to not be able to get your hands into that money pie and get you some.

No one made you choose the path you are on.

I bring up a policy issue that will affect how people see this raid.

And you hide.

More simply put, you have decided to come down on the side of scum.

The same scum that is attempting to ruin the lives of me, my family, and my neighbors.

Kind of rots our experience of you.

You killed that persona, so as to not have any discussions here any more.

Nope. As it pertains to crying wolf I agree with you

You support a pedophile because he's hurting the people you hate.

You support a party that's hurting America for becoming a land of justice, freedom and equality.

Admit it. You believe people had too much freedom.

You're ignoring the fall of America because you believe the end justifies the means.

People need to be punished and you're happy the Republicans are doing it.

- The world is not binary and you are not on the side of angels.

Admittedly, there was a lot of effort, if not thought, involved in coming up with that particular, "Both sides do it!" and "But Mommy, Little Joey does it, too!"...

Politico saw this happening in 2022 ... called them Lumpers..

On one side (of the two sides of the left) are people who believe in what can be thought of as a unified field theory of political and social change.

The lumpers see American society in need of a sustained and comprehensive overhaul, and are wary of people, even potential allies, who don't share this synoptic worldview. A core assumption is a commitment to "intersectionality" " the concept that contemporary power arrangements reflect historic and overlapping patterns of discrimination on grounds of race, class and gender and that progress on specific issues must include challenging the underlying power structure.

Cut the bullshht you narcissist.

Republicans literally overturn election results and bulldoze through legislation.

California, voters elected to change districts. The federal government attempted to overturn results. In Virginia they actually succeeded.

Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Almaba ... are all redistricting in order to silence the will of the people and force their ideology on everyone. You ------- legislate hate into law.

Ohio and Missouri both voted to legalize abortion only to have the state legislature over turn results.

You're a hypocrite. You support pedophilia.

If its so upside down why do people overwhelmingly want to move the US?

Add Clownshack to the propaganda regurgitations.

The VADemocrats filed to wait for a verdict until after the election, they knew they would lose.

Knowing full well smoothbrained people like GasLighter, Corky, and Clownshack would claim it was "stolen by Republicans" ...

Yet you still can't see the propaganda even though you're reading it right off the pages of the playbook.
