Trump couldn't convince Ukraine to lie about an investigation into Biden.

Of course Republicans won't support our ally now.

This is who they are.

Secret Cervix cleared the stands behind Trump seconds before the popping noises.
They did not respond to report of shooter on roof
They work direcly for the president

The Secret Service didn't have jurisdiction that far out. That was state and local cops.

Unfortunately Republicans blocked all laws in the state regarding owning an AR-15 and walking around with it. Irony.

A cop did approach the shooter but backed off. Remember Uvalde? Same thing here.

But don't let facts stop you from believing your nutty conspiracy theory.

538 said Hillary was going to win. You see what happened there. I don't trust polls.

No, it didn't.

It said Hillary had about a 65% chance to win.

Just like now they are saying Biden has just a slightly better than 50% chance to win.

Blah blah blah. They have legitimate complaints about why US shouldn't be sending aid. But, instead of diving in to those complaints and figuring out how we can keep America strengthened but still help others when we can, this article is so full of partisan bias that only serves to demonize people they don't agree with. But, Dems being the hypocrites they are, they can't even see it. I've been saying for a long time, both parties NEVER look at the flaws in their ideologies, only the positives. So, let's give all of our resources to Ukraine and not worry about how America stays safe and solvent...right? Instead, let's just continue bickering like children and ensuring America never progresses.

Do you get your whining points directly from Putin or is it passed on by a Republican translator?

Just remember:

If the crazy Conspiracy Theories are right and Biden ordered this attack on Trump, there is NOTHING Republicans can do about it.

Sorry. Biden has immunity now thanks to the Republican Supreme Court.

Judge Cannon essentially ignores all case law and statutes on point by making patently ridiculous claims.

"Oh it's just dicta"
"Oh it's outside my appellate district"
"Oh there's no real test so I can make one up"

Then she cites dicta from Justice Thomas that no other Justice would sign on to and makes up new interpretations of existing law.

Judge Cannon's funniest reasoning is on 28 U.S.C. 515(b):

"Each attorney specially retained under authority of the Department of Justice shall be commissioned as special assistant to the Attorney General or special attorney..."

She argues that since it says retained (past sense), this requires the DOJ to hire the special attorney for no reason FIRST and THEN they can be commissioned as a special assistant.

(BTW, this issue was ALREADY decided on this statute in US v. Nixon were the court said "It has also vested in him the power to appoint subordinate officers to assist him in the discharge of his duties. 28 U. S. C. 509, 510, 515, 533.")

(It was also affirmed in United States v. Morrison under the same statute and 28 U.S.C. 510.)

The appointment of Jack Smith to prosecute the case is absolutely not. Which is why this judge just tossed this case.

All you have to do is ignore all the of the case law to the contrary and then re-write how we analyze delegation of authority...and boom, you can pretend Cannon's decision is correct.

Easy for someone like you.

Courts have ruled time and again the Special Counsel is Constitutional. Judge Cannon and you are making up new rules to justify her decision.

I'm still waiting on ANY case law to justify Judge Cannon's decision.

Even she admits the case law in other appellate jurisdictions already is against her.

"Well our circuit has never ruled on this, so I can do whatever I want!" Let's see how that works out for her.

I heard the felon's campaign created a gofundme for his family. I wonder how much Donnie will take off the top? 95%?

Democrats believe a threat to Democracy should be dealt with at the ballot box or via the Court system.

Republicans talk about "Second Amendment Solutions", "Civil War", and "Watering the Tree of Liberty with the blood of Patriots".

What did they expect was going to happen after radicalizing their own?

Goodbye Judge Cannon.

If you are going to make a bizarro ruling, it better have at least some precedent grey area instead of numerous precedent cases to the contrary.

Alternate Headline: European Leaders understand Americans are dumb enough to vote for Trump and are preparing accordingly.

#31 Reporting so recently after an incident like this tends to be inaccurate and must be taken with a big grain of salt.
Gotta let the facts play out and let the chips fall from there.

The facts are that he is a registered Republican. That is verified.

Quick VERY Recent History Lesson on Republicans:
A REPUBLICAN tried to assassinate Trump.
A group of REPUBLICANS threw an insurrection and tried to assassinate the Republican Vice President and some members of Congress.
A group of REPUBLICANS planned to kidnap and possibly assassinate the Democrat Governor of Michigan.
A REPUBLICAN assaulted Paul Pelosi and tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi.

And we don't even need to list the whack jobs who were just caught with guns acting suspiciously ranting about killing other political leaders.

Amazing see the DR Conservatives go crazy on the initial Trump shooting thread only to nearly completely disappear when it turns out a Republican did the shooting.

Apparently EVERYTHING is an official act now.

This is what the Republican SCOTUS has opened up.

When was the last time Elon won a lawsuit defending Twitter from his own stupidity?

"Take the full extent of Lia Thomas and multiply it by 39."
For the first time in history, Republicans care about women's sports. You can't name the other athletes because they don't win and weren't publicized. The problem seems rather minimal. Honestly, I don't care how the NCAA rules on this.

"You will likely deflect away and try and change the subject because it's what you do when confronted with an issue that you feel compelled to support but know is indefensible."
This is literally how you operate on every thread. Or you run away. It's well documented at this point and it has become a running joke.

"worthless" was a poor choice on my part. "less valuable" would have been better.

In terms of earning potential and career prospects, yes. We can agree on that.

Good correction.

Are there folks with worthless degrees? No doubt but I think the elephant in the room are folks who have debt but no degree.

#81 | POSTED BY EBERLY

There are no worthless degrees from accredited colleges.

Most employers don't care what your degree is in unless its a somewhat technical job. They care that you HAVE a degree. You've proven you can self manage, do basic research, write, do basic math, etc.

This is compared to a high school degree which only shows you have a pulse.

Most likely, the problem was Biden picked up the receiver and an operator didn't come on to ask him where to connect...like in the good old days of his youth when everything was a party line. These new-fangled devices like cell phones are too hard for him to comprehend.

Anything to deflect from Republican incompetence I guess.

Trump could rape someone on 5th Avenue and you wouldn't care. ...Oh wait! That happened and you didn't care!

In socialized countries, it's almost a necessity to take care of yourself because the long wait times means you don't get the help you need in any good amount of time, and many ailments are exacerbated into worse ailments because of it.

#11 | POSTED BY HUMTAKE

There's no wait time in the US if you can't afford to schedule the procedure in the first place.

But your argument is crap. There are huge wait times for many procedures in the US if you aren't super rich. A friend had a minor brain aneurysm and it was an 8 week wait for surgery. I don't even want to know the weight time if she was rural.

But yes, I'm sure "take care of your own health" will magically solve everything.

It definitely can't be the 25-30% profit the hospital takes and the 25-30% more profit the insurance company takes.

He's still more with it than Trump who just goes on incoherent rants.

When Biden can't remember who his wife is or who is running against, then we can compare the two.

Look_Inward suddenly becomes a Socialist and demands the Feds protect Red States from themselves.

The only village idiot is you if you can't look at a 4 year established track record of both candidates and not have a decent sense for policy of each candidate.

Lets see...
4 years of trump - explode the debt to give tax cuts to the rich instead of building the wall, blackmail our allies and get impeached over it, kill a half million americans with incompetence during a crisis, and then attempt a fascist coup and get impeached again
4 years of biden - record stock market, record low unemployment, massive infrastructure investment

Jeff gets fact checked again.

Expect one of the typical responses:
1. Jeff makes another counter factual argument completely unrelated
2. Jeff disappears only to make the same fact free argument in a few days on another thread
