    Trump the dictator

    Fair enough. We have a situation now where both sides are voting strictly along party lines and the party out of power uses every vestige of power they have remaining to them to obstruct and block the majority. What you deliberately fail to notice is that unlike Biden, Trump follows all restrictions imposed on him by that minority and also doesn't try to put his opponents in jail or debank, censor, or deplatform them.

    N-word at the Playground Recorded by a Pedo

    For the record, teaching in Michigan at a charter school that was almost entirely black kids (with unconventional/unpronounceable first names) I heard the N-Bomb dropped exactly zero times. Coming to the Florida panhandle, the black kids use it on themselves and each other all the time. Coming here, I have to admire how much time effort must have been put into successfully reducing that to zero by the school administration in Michigan.

    Trump the dictator

    Every single Democrat in the Senate disagrees with you but they use it anyway since the GOP didn't discard it.

    Trump the dictator

    Here: Filibusters: Why Democrats want to change Senate rules (cnn.com) Wonder what Schumer thinks of the filibuster now. It's the only reason legislation isn't being slammed down the Dems throats at the same pace as the executive order are. And even the big beautiful bill only affects matters of tax and spending. You still get to bloc voter ID laws, unrequested mail in ballots, men in the girls room and other Democrat priorities.

    Trump the dictator

    Stop being intentionally obtuse. Everybody else knows exactly what's going on because we don't live under rocks. They are using the very same Senate rule they -"they" meaning every single one of the Senate Dems, since both objectors are now out of office - to obstruct the Trump agenda that they -again every single one of them- tried to do away with when they were in the majority. It's only by the good graces of the faux alleged dictatorship that the GOP didn't turn the tables on them once they took over the Senate. Thank your tranny god that there are still enough Republican Senators around to willing to keep the filibuster around, because we know there are now exactly ZERO Democrat Senators around who would do the same were the shoe on the other foot.

    Trump the dictator

    The fillibuster was almost never used during the Roosevelt administration, the one time you saw it implemented was in the 1939 (Roosevelt Era) movie "Mr. Smith goes to Washington." Nowadays, it's a mandatory part of any legislation. Something I reminded you ten seconds ago, that the Democrats tried to eliminate when they were in office and - would be biting them in the ass bigtime now if they had gotten away with. And they're likely to try to do so again the moment they gain a trifecta majority now that Sinema and Manchin are no long a part of their Senate delegation to reign them in. The true dictators. Anyway, the only reason the Republicans aren't foisting all this down the Dums throat as legislation is that they are restraining themselves from doin what the Dems tried very hard to do when they were in office. In time, hopefully Trump's / Johnson's "Big Beautiful Bill" solves these hangups for you.

    Trump the dictator

    Things'd be a lot easier if the Senate Dems could just be rolled over. But, of course, they're not. Just a few years ago, countable on one hand, Dumocrats were trying hard to get rid of the filibuster. It was two holdouts.... Sinema and Manchin that kept them in check. Nowadays, they must be ecstatic, not only that they failed, but also that the Republicans aren't doing to them what they tried to do to the GOP minority. Republicans -as usual - are far more civil and willing to put up with their obstruction in the minority than the Dems were. If you recall, they had plenty of other nefarious plans: packing the courts, eliminating the electoral college... Further, you have to wonder if the Dems'll try again the next time they, inevitably, gain control of the Senate again now that Sinema and Manchin are gone. Notice how they only shed crocodile tears crying and shrieking about precedent when it suits them. It takes incredible patience putting up with all their filibustering and activist judge/prosecution lawfare but Trump and the GOP only grumble. They comply. They also don't put Biden officials in prison or debank them. Yet here comes the "Trump as dictator" talk. Yeah, a dictator who loosens the powers of his government and complies with every ridiculous and dubious impediment his opponents throw in front of him. Get real.

    Death Pool Update: Ruth Buzzi at 88...

    One of the few people (maybe the only person) capable of beating the sh*t out of Muhammed Ali.

  12. They may well have seized 258 million fatal doses of fentanyl. Now that the cartels don't run the border anymore, who knows how much they got. I think finding 258 million people eager to take one dose each and preventing that from happening would be a challenge. My wife and kids don't want ours, so that would have free up five doses for a family in need.
  13. That sounds familiar. Some things never change. 150 years later, Democrats are still making the exact same arguments, using the exact same logic, that they made when the Republicans made them give up their slaves. "Who's going to pick our cotton?" Fock off Democrats.
  14. This is another Freddie Gray. Handcuffed guys have no way to brace against a fall when the driver slams on the brakes. It's messed up. They should have learned from Gray and been required to put him in a seatbelt. It's good to see that this transportation policy has been corrected for Connecticut but why do we still Police Departments out there tansporting suspects like this? What these officers are mostly guilty of is not knowing how to diagnose and treat a person with a serious neck injury. Someone had to take the fall.
  15. My name is Richard Randy Cock. My parents call me Dick, my friends call me Randy Cock. Whenever I go to karaoke with my girlfriend, our favorite song is a duet by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty. We change one of the words in the lyrics of "Stop Dragging My Heart Around"

    Whenever sh*t like this happens, the first thing we do, before any facts come in, is stick that person on the other political team.

    Annexing Canada

    It was his flipant bullsh*t about Canada as the 51st state in addition to all the tariffs. Scroll down about 3/5 of the on this page and note the date the Liberal Party zoomed up in the polls. Late January.. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/poll-tracker/canada/ Note, that also coincides with when they started booing the national anthem at hockey games.

    Annexing Canada

    Trump focked up Canada's election. The sane candidate had a good chance to win four months ago. Also, how can anyone conclude that adding that many blue voters would improve the country? That's stupid on top of stupid. Leave them alone and give them California as an apology or offer to swap California for Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

    Trump and The Constitution

    I think the constitution says laws (including border policy) are to be is to be passed by Congress, enforced by the executive branch, and presided over by the judiciary. I missed the part where the circuit courts, courts which aren't even mentioned in the Constitution, delegate to themselves toe ability to override the both legislative and executive branch and decides who stays and who goes themselves in a total 100% disregard for what the laws passed / enforced by elected officials says.

    Trump and The Constitution

    Show up at border and try to sneak in undetected. If caught, ask for due process. Be released into the country and wait ten years for the courts to get to your case. Appeal Wait another ten years. Skip hearing. ------- The ideal way things ought to work in a world run by liberals.
  24. The nation would be better off if Joe had taken a vacation (quick math what's 365x4+1) all 1461 days of his administration. But yeah, have to agree with the leftoids here. I'd rather Trump spend every waking moment of his life signing executive orders. Instead of complaining about Shedeur Sanders, we could have gotten an arrest warrant for Alejandro Mayorkas or something productive out of him instead. I guess, like everyone else, he needs to take some time off every now and then to relax and chill and talk football.

    CNN is Very Fake News

    After the incredibly easily disproven "Very Fine People" lies the corporate media hoisted onto us about Charlottsville, where even the most dedicated leftoid doing ten seconds of research could see for themselves with 100% clarity that Trump - repeatedly - said the exact opposite of what the media told us he said, I don't know why anyone believes them. You have to have your head seriously up your ass to come out if that with a shred of respect for the corporate media.
