Luminosa Miami and Harbor Freight adsare directly below your post so my guess id you are using an ad blocker. Personally, I don't mind the ads because they are paying the bills. It's much betterthan requiringa subscription fee.

"They had 26 confidential informants on the ground at the time, some of whom breached security barriers and were never charged with a crime."

It would have been totally irresponsible not to have had such undercover agents watching the crazies, that building houses our Congress. You think it should have just been left up to the crazies to decide how to protect Speaer Pelosi and other members. It seems that you think the fact that some agencies like the FBI did'nt just wal away and leave Congress with no protection somehow excuses the barbarians who were sacking the Capital for the crimes they committed. The real question is why was the President watching it happen on TV but not doing his job which would have beem to deploy the forces necessary to stop yhe insurrection.

"The DOE was and remains a solution in search of a problem"

It is a class war and education provides opportunities to change class; some of the fools don't like that idea. Be happy in the caste you were born into and accept our assigned station in life as per J.D. Vance. Barrack Obama and Bill Clinton taught right wing Amerits the possibility of a college education for millionscans about the dangers of letting people use rducation to determine the limits of their futures themselves but one pf those three favors sjutting down the Dept. of Education and with it the Student Loan Program which would limit the possibility of a college education for millions who didn't have rhe foresight to be born into and families which would be the effect and uhspoken intention begind the ides of shutting down the Dept. of Education; put those poor ids back in their place just like it was when I was young and had to drop out of college because student loans weren't guaranteed by rhe government and thus were non-exiatent except for my bank's largest depostors children who didn't need loans anyway and that was told to me directly by a vice president of the bank. So go celebrate te end of the Dept. of Education MAGAmorons, emphasis on MORONS! BTW, I finally got my degree at are 55 after raising 3 kids by myself.

People from his era have an irrational allgiance to Israel as if they can do no wrong. But, you'll see, the Trump administration will too will too!

I hink Putin is losing men and material resources in Ukraine at such a rate that he will be murdered soon by the leaders in the Kremlin.

I hink utin is losing men and material resources in Ukraine ar such a eate that he will be murdered soon by the leaders in the Kremlin.

TheBull actually accuses others of falling for Russian propaganda but he actually believes it! Hey Bull, were the Ukrainians actually Nazis?

He may own the court right now but both him and the court have established the precedent that an insurrection is legal! No predictions here from me but democracy may not fail in the way the Wannabe Dictator expects!

I posted this earlier but it so ironic that now Trump's Presidency depends upon the certification of the election by the House of Representatives which was exactly the reason he incited a MAGA mob to invade the Capital to prevent the certification on Jan. 6, 2021 and which was a CRIME HE SHOULD BE TRIED AND CONVICTED FOR AND GO TO PRISON FOR but our country let's TV stars get away with crimes; First Reagan and now Trump. Be a TV star before running for President and then you can get away with any crime you want. And many idiots who post here voted for him twice! Vut hey, the same ---- idiots voted for Dubya twice too! Looking back at your voting history I do conclude you really are ---- stupid!

My youngest daughter who is alive and well today and in her 30s was diagnosed with SIDS when she was 9 months old which then required that she be on a breathing monitor whenever she slept. So we took her to her Neurologist for her exam but she was a typical uncooperative baby sothe Neurologist decided to sedate her. We finished her appointment and left for a real estate appointment where we were when she stopped breathing and the alarnm on the monitor went off so we ran out of there and started driving the closest hospital but she still was not breathing and I was holding her so I shook her to wake her up and it did. She is alive and well today 38 years later so, I'm just not so sure that shaking a child is necessarily an act of violence. There are moments when it saves their life. Just to complete the story, SIDS is a condition most children grow out of by the age of two as did my daughter. At that age she was pronounced ok and she never had another breathing episode of any kind. Kids scare us sometimes and, in those moments, we realise how precious they are.

"Never, he doesn't owe that stupid lying bitch a dime"

The only "stupid lying bitch" is Thebull.
But you don't have to worry about Trump he'll just ask Putin for more money and promise access to all American Intelligence in exchange, he'll be lucky if the military doesn't kill him in the interests of the security of the United States. I'm not recommending it but he should avoid the appearance that Putin owns him. Which he does and everyone in Washington knows it but pretends we don't know it too.

We all have to prove citizenship when we register to vote; there is no valid reason to require us to prove it every time we vote. Republicans just want excuses to bar legitimate voters from exercisibg their rights. Don't now about y'all but I don't normally carry my 73 years old birth certificate around with me.

You can't fix stupid.

When President Carter lost his reelection he went out to teach poor people in Africa how to create a latrine. When SHTRump lost his reelection he spent the following 4 years denying he lost and building an army of morons we now know as MAGAts

It's OK because Putin discovered that all the victims were Nazis! just like MAGAts

"Couldn't there be a temporary Speaker voted upon and appointed for, say, one day, in order to validate the Election results?"

I would hope not and would laugh my ass off if they can't certify the election; perfect irony considering that the MAGA lunatics invaded the Capital specifically to prevent the certification of Biden's victory over Shtrump!

Sad that people like Jaysherman exist! When I recieved a text message with the news I called some family members and we were all in tears. President Carter was a great man which reflects quite glaringly at the convicted felon who will soo be inaugurated and the nation fears that scumbag will try to become our dictator. Perhaps President Carter avoided seeing the end of American democracy.

Mental ------------; He Owns the Supreme Court!

I won't read anything from WAPO, I don't support any company owned by that Fascist Bezos.

Making the Jesus saga more complex doesn't make it more true. It's still all superstitious nonsense but hey children love to believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny! Y'all belueve in whatever nonsense you want but science is real whether you like it or not though Republicans want to kill science education want to ill science educatiom and start teaching Christian theology.

Tulsi belongs with Assad's victims! Would we be considering a supporter of Hitler for such a position?

I'll risk eternal damnation because I don't believe any of the religionists garbage designed by the powerful to strike fear into the hearts of any who refused to believe in the Sanctity of Kings. It is, was and alwaya will be a bunch of bulls**t designed to keep you obedient and subservient to another human being who claims "royalty" but who is actually just a human being like the rest of us...as was Jesus Christ, if he ever actually existed, which I seriously doubt, but OMG! now I'm going to burn in Hell forever! Oh well! I'm sort of glad I don't live in fear of that today. The religionists won't like it that their fear tactics don't work any more; it means they have lost control. All of them' your Baptist "fire and brimstone" assh**e, your Priest, your Rabbi, your Ayatollah; they are all the same:i.e. actors pretending to have direct communication with an imaginary God. My recommendation: When anyone tells you they communicate directly with the imaginary God ignore them don't kill them because you will just end up in prison if you do. Let the liars continue to tell their self-serving lies but know that they know we laugh at their nonsence and ridicule their religious bull s**t! Eventually, others will awaen and throw off the restraints of religion. Yes, God I don't believe in, and who can't grant wishes because he doesn't actually exist. I had a friend ask me just the other day if I believe we have souls? I had to answer truthfully; no I don't believe we have souls. I believe the powerful invented the concept so that id you were illed in one of their wars of conquest, it would be ok because your imaginary soul would live on.

Break iy down; we are advanced apes. Pretend whatever nonsense you want but that is what we are.

Can Elon Musk be Speaker of the House and Sec. of State at the same time?

I am proud of the fact that none of my children grew up and joined the Evangelical cult or ever supported Trump.

"Can the Executive branch override the Constitution via Executive actions?"

If the Supreme Court is corrupt enough, yes! and our present Supreme Court is corrupt enough.
