I wished I wouldn't have came out on the Retort. This topic would not have been so frequently posted.

Yes it would have. After trump's failed coup attempt, the right wing propaganda machine started snowblowing trans discussion all over the country in order to change the subject.

Those poor poor confused mentally ill -------.

Now they have to hear words that don't affirm their delusion? Now they might kill themselves before they otherwise would have killed themselves.

Or maybe just maybe they can be saved from their delusions and from everyone just blindly affirming their mental illness.

Sounds like you're talking about the people who stormed the capitol on jan 6.

You just voted for an oil puppet who is definitely changing the climate of this planet. For the worse.

This (leaving Sniper out of the mix) may just be the stupidest thing I've ever read here.

Because you're in a cult where facts are called lies.

One lesson is populism is a high risk high reward approach, and isn't one that should be embraced by adults with a country to run.

Do you agree with that lesson, based on how it's going with Trump? Or is that too conservative for you.

#27 | Posted by snoofy

Lets stick with no risk no reward. It's working great.

I'm smart enough to understand that no amount of inconvenience I suffer, or any amount of money I pay will change the climate of this planet. You're the moron who bases his vote on silly talking points like this article.

psssst - trump is talking about YOU.

Its wild you denigrate gold investors, then can't articulate beyond "Trump", why Gold went up relative to the dollar?

Because the answer is literally trump moron.

Are you a day trader? This a buy on the dip kind of day for us long term investors.

#27 | Posted by oneironaut

Which dip? The one when trump first invaded? The one when iran closed the strait?

If you bought those dips you already lost money because now it's lower

Especially when the guy who signed a nuclear treaty was a black guy with a bigger penis than the president.

Then rip up the agreement and go to war.

Trump is winning. Not Republicans.

Republicans as a whole, like the country as a whole, are losing.

So uh maybe you'd care to address that reality, and how it ties back to your "moat" idea.

Or maybe you just have Hurt Feelings, in which case, grow a pair and become a Populist for Trump.

#21 | Posted by snoofy

Republicans used trumps popularity to get their agenda passed.

Trump's popularity came from his populism.

AGAIN - dems reject populism and lose, trump embraces it and wins.

Nothing to learn from that is there?

Democrats invented SuperDelegates after Jesse Jackson polled much better than the Democrat establishment thought he would in 1984.

In other words, the Dems took steps to prevent their party from being taken over by Mob Rule.

#14 | Posted by snoofy

You mean elites build a moat so that populism couldnt succeed.

Dems rejected populism and lost. Trump embraced it and won.

Do you not understand the difference between North Korea and Iran in the geopolitical models?

#3 | Posted by oneironaut

No please explain the difference.

Could it be that israel doesn't give a ---- about north korea so they didn't command trump to attack north korea?

This guy has howard dean written all over him.
Dems need someone to march in and destroy the DNC like trump did to the RNC.

Its a shame how racist the Lumpers have become, they worry more about a persons identity than their ideas. Shapiro would make an excellent choice.

So how come all the confederate flags and nazi tattoos are at republican rallies?

You didn't answer my question at all. I'll ask again, what crime was he being investigated for?

#24 | Posted by BellRinger

Being an unregistered foreign agent. Why did trump surround himself with so many russian puppets?

Still clueless?

-they did that already, 90% of teachers have been lib-bots for decades now.

#26 | Posted by john_savage2

Yeah because liberals are the ones who don't hate education.

Novel legal theories were trotted out to try and bankrupt, jail and have his name removed from ballots. Completely and totally unprecedented in US history and if any of you think Trump is the only crook to ever occupy the WH then I have a bridge to sell you. .

I swear only a public hanging without a trial would have satisfied you rabid dogs.

#20 | Posted by BellRinger

Trump's coup attempt was unprecedented. Therefore anything that resulted from it would also be unprecedented. Prosecuting him would be unprecedented but deserved.

There is no crime he could commit that would make you stop supporting the fascist cult side.

Just a reminder that Flynn was hanging out with putin before trump chose him as national security advisor. Just like he chose a russian asset as his campaign manager. Just like he chose putin's favorite oil exec to be secretary of state. Just like he chose russia asset tulsi gabbard be director of national intelligence.

"Russiagate was a hoax!"

No russiagate was america thinking they had russia beat, putin biding his time until social media gave him the weapon he needed to take america down, and a billionaire who putin has on video ------- kids gave him the perfect opportunity.

Now putin has his secret weapons gutting america on all levels, and the idiots wrapped in the american flag are cheering it on.

So, Pres Biden didn't send AG Garland a text message telling him to prosecute fmr Pres Trump for J6?

#16 | Posted by LampLighter

No one should have had to tell him to do that. It was part of his oath of office. And biden should have fired him for betraying that oath.

Sidney Powell and Kenny Chesebro had to issue a one-sentence apology that didn't acknowledge who won the election.

#14 | Posted by schifferbrains

2 other people that would be in jail if garland did his job, along with every republican who supported the coup effort.

Or might he have been looking more to the future?
So, maybe, fmr AG Garland was not a coward, but a courageous precedent-setter?

#4 | Posted by LampLighter

Yes he set the precedent that you can attempt a coup and face zero repercussions, meaning the rule of law is dead.

Garland was biden's biggest failure. A failure so big that it erases all his accomplishments. A failure so big that it may have ended the american experiment.

Every bit of damage that trump does to the country and the world in his second term is merrick garland's fault. I hope he knows that when he tries to sleep at night.

The GOP votes against ACA were irrelevant because they didn't have the numbers anyway.

#35 | Posted by eberly

"Facts that ruin my argument are irrelevant!"

that can be argued easily. The health insurance lobby bought just enough democrats when it was obvious they'd need democratic party votes to water down and ---- on Obamacare.

Leading democrats at the time Obamacare was being passed were very transparent about it and very critical about it.

I'm not looking to blame democrats for anything, BTW. I'm just saying the obstacles are vast and complex.

#31 | Posted by eberly

Yeah they only had to buy a couple democrats because they knew the entire republican party would vote against it.

50 repubs and 2 dems vote against it = "Look at how corrupt the democrats are!" -idiots

And Biden pardoned pedophiles, but you won't touch that one.

#23 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Trump pardoned pedophiles, terrorists, wall street scammers, health insurance scammers, drug dealers, and george santos.

Anyone who can afford the bribe gets a pardon.

And you're just fine with that.
