@#46 ... Removing pedophiles from positions of power is WAY more important than protecting members of a political party. .. .

I agree.

Which is why I want the full Epstein files to be released (redacted victims names, of course).

Let the dice fall where they may

@#42 ... The Dems fear this, ...

Do the Dems really fear it, as your current alias asserts?

If the Dems fear it, why? Maybe because it might weaken the Country?

Or do they see an utter lack of of capability for the position, aside from an obsequious adulation of Pres Trump?

Or?

The latter seems to be the norm for the appointees of Pres Trump.

For example, Sec of Defense Hegseth.

@#36 ... I fully support her removal from her position. ...

Why?

Maybe because she seems to have failed in her support of Pres Trump?

Related: who might your current alias want to replace her?

@#29 ... Except that was not actually what they were voting on ------- - and we all know it. ...

If "we all know it" please provide the evidence.

It should be easy to provide if we all know it.

Yer up.

What's yer got?

@#26 ... Says they guy that whines constantly about ad hominem attacks. ...

Maybe appropriately?

That aside ...

Back in the day, when I ran a message board, my main moderation concern was: criticize the comment, not the poster of that comment.

Do try harder.

There's this with Russia ...

... Reality may be hitting President Donald Trump like a ton of bricks after Trump admitted Tuesday his threats against Russia "may not work." ...

Ya think?

@#17 ... LOL oh you poor stupid sack of s(*&. ...

So... it is not just me who sees that?

@#16 ... My guess - as I have posted before - is that he is being pressured by US intelligence agencies along with Israel to not release the files as they are still actively using it for blackmail purposes ...

All the more reason to release the files.

But I do note the addition of "Israel" to your current alias' comment.

Do try harder.

Yeah, that was a lame deflection attempt, imo. ;)

@#11 ... These bills were and are common sense. ...

That's the second time your current alias has stated that.

Yet, still, with no explanation, in spite of the request (#8) for such an explanation.

So lame.

So, yeah, (still, it seems) post and run.

Apparently, an abject coward, unable to defend what it has posted.

Why?

Currently, "Religious Beliefs" seem to be supportive of Pres Trump.

So, he needs to do things to continue that support.

Like this ...

@#14 ... If there was ANYTHING incriminating against Trump - why did the Biden DoJ/FBI sit on it ...

And, if fmr Pres Biden had done that, my guess would be that your alias would be all up in arms about political retribution.

But that aside.

Why does Pres Trump seem to trying to cover up a conspiracy theory his supporters seem to have created?

A "conspiracy theory" that he seems to have raised multiple times during his campaign?

And a conspiracy theory that MAGA has not only bought in to, but has propagated.

So, yeah, your current alias may try to deflect to a different topic, but it won't work.

MAGA wants answers.

What's yer got?

@#9 ... When pressed for details, you had none.
Standard M.O. for you, by the way. ...

Back in the day when I ran a BBS, I used to call those posts ... "post and run."

Stated differently, too cowardly to respond to comments on their posts.

So, the GOP seems to want to go on the offensive, to try to sell a massive tax cut for billionaires as something good for the working class?

More from the article ...

... National Republicans want their House conference to sell President Donald Trump's megabill during Congress' August recess, rather than duck and let Democrats push a narrative that the bill is a tax cut for the rich.

That advice is memorialized in a five-page memo from the National Republican Congressional Committee, which was obtained by POLITICO. ...

@#20 ... What moderation? ...

Do try to keep up.

Jus' sayin'.

... Common Sense ...

Please explain how this is common sense.

thx.

... and this may be why RCade does not want to waste his time moderating a Nooner.

Jus' sayin'

So, why does Pres Trump want to reduce NOAA funding, when NOAA seems to be so important?

... At least Trump is trying something new. ...

What, specifically, are Pres Trump's efforts to try to address homelessness?

@#12 ... It is very clear that the FBI and DoJ is either entirely corrupt or incompetent. ...

I disagree. (well, maybe after Pres Trump has installed his toadies, yeah. But that is a different thread)

AG Bondi, to me, is capable of being quite competent. But how does she seem to use that competence?

Upholding the Constitution, as an AG should do above all else?

Or parroting what Pres Trump may want her to parrot and try to uphold?

That is the important point your current alias' comment seems to actively try to sidestep and avoid answering.

@#3 ... $500 million in baby-killing money. Gone ...

Ignoring [intentionally?] all the great work that Planned Parent does for women.

But, currently, in the eyes of the GOP, women seem to be second-class citizens.

As a MAGA family member once told me --- women should be pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen, cooking my dinner for me.

@#12

Yeah, I also wondered about that apparent conflation.

Non-paywalled ...
