Not sure, I take them at their word. They can likely point to a myriad of factors, there is usually not a "silver bullet", perhaps Bud Light being a counter point to that assertion. If they speak to their own failure and do so in the way they did, I will take them at their word. If you object to their representation, that is between you and them.

Maybe. I am on the fence about it. Should we have a statue to him, I am not sure....maybe a statue that shows him surrendering or something It is clear that Grant saw his surrender as meaningful, and because of it Grant gave him full "pardon" if you will, since he understood that Lee was working to heal the nation. In that regard, I guess his act of surrender is something.

Its worthy of note, that the TOTAL amount of people leaving is causing this. But those people are going to multiple places, not just Florida. So the REAL measure here is the fact that they lost so many people, regardless of destination...they are losing seats in Congress.

AsI understand it, the emigration of people from California is causing the loss of seats in Congress, but I need to check on that. And then also look into whether or not Florida is similarly impacted.

If you presented to me both stats I am less inclined to care about per capita, so that means I never even asked the question. I surmise that if I cared about that stat I would have perhaps called it out.

You can actually compare it both ways. What he did was use the stat that made him look better, and did not acknowledge the other because it did not. By all means discuss the totality of the situation. Works for me.

Easy....geeeez man, you cannot make him accountable for the dastardly deeds of his preferred political party..... I submit that if we simply had the kind of accountability we enjoyed with Trump then we could all rest a little easier. Its not like Trump....or any of them are somehow "good"

Would you consider that his use of the stats was at least disingenous and perhaps entirely misleading? Agree with you on statistics, politicians lie every day in this very same way.

Correct, and we now know there are more. We likely do not yet have the full picture of pay-for-play. But, please understand....this is just money laundering and tax evasion, and it really falls to Hunter....by design of course. So in a racketeering scheme law enforcement goes after the fall guy, hoping to turn him and get him to spill on the leaders. Will Hunter flip? nah.... So, without some clear demonstration of Joe doing something for that money, we should not be observing ANY impeachment....period...end of story.....

By the way.....consider trying the series Uncancelled History, its pretty good P. 01 Robert E. Lee : A fascinating walk through, peering at Lee and really getting into post-war stuff too EP. 02 Colonialism : Not bad, highlights interesting elements of global colonialism through human history and how we are changing perspective on it today EP. 04 Abraham Lincoln : Its decent, there is a point at which in the 1960's we see revisionist history starting to pretend Lincoln was bad as leftists are keen to do....this effort at that time being spearheaded by prominent AA authors....and their sort of shock to learn they are in alignment with white supremacists is pretty funny....

Has any media outlet fact-checked Newsome? Any at all?

Trump is not a good person so disliking him is natural, there is nothing wrong with that of course. So they naturally dislike him. The disconnect is this notion that their likeability is somehow a measure of performance. I have read journalists assert that he should not be president because he is not a good enough person, and as this "bad" person the office is too far above him. Now lets be fair, we all want a good person in that role.....the hope being a good person will make good choices. But in the instance of Trump we clearly see what it took me years to fully appreciate from being in the Marines.......YOU DO NOT NEED TO LIKE YOUR LEADER. He can be a darn good leader, and still someone you soundly dislike. Too many people are too easily manipulated by political theatre.....

She has been instructed, groomed by media notably, to support a person....regardless of peformance. The simple truth is is that many of us are sheep. Politicians, well mostly their media mouthpieces, espouse reasons you should like candidate A and dislike candidate B. Now to be fair, the Biden admin has made their job pretty challenging.... But people will do this, and in large part to "blend in" with others in their life, to seem good and virtuous...meanwhile, the least among us are disproportionately harmed by liberal policies....its a strange, strange thing.

Biden confidently lied, as we now know. And why? because he knew he was protected by media.....fellow Democrats.....and the DOJ..... We now know all of this because of a silly mistake with a laptop, other wise the combined prowess of those three would have hidden this away

Lucky for Hamas she was not in Israel eh?

On the contrary, it allows me the latitude to move on my position, which has transpired here on occasion and is documented. So, consider this. We both agree on Trump in terms of holding him accountable. Now the way it was done is where we diverge. We agree that he should have been held accountable, and I think we are both satisfied that he was; perhaps you wanted him harmed a bit more, not sure. But, when I apply the same logic to Biden, you now have a different view. I do not care who person is, what their politics are nor anything else.....just that the powerful are held to account. Please answer this question, if the information currently associated with Biden were instead associated with Trump, would you still come to his defense?

Maybe I am, I am willing to self-refect on it and make sure I am staying true to my values and philosophy. This is something important to me. More important than almost anything else.

It allows me to ignore the bias currently present within media. Its a defensive mechanism to offset the bias. We cannot trust them any longer. "I", in stark contract to most, hold the same positions....regardless of political player. That distingiushes me and my ability to filter, and avoid bias.

I do not mean insult, just pointing out an observation. I must admit that I think your position might be a little dishonest. I maintain, unless you are willing to commit, that if the same set of circumstances were pointing at a Republican....your position would not be the same. We know Biden lied, he is on record. He clearly knew what his son was doing and said he had no knowledge, he clearly knew he was getting money from China but instead said only Trump was getting money. This should bother us. It the name were instead "Trump" it would still bother me at the same level, can you say the same?

I trust NO media. That is gone. They lost the notion of reliability over the last 10 years or so. They are ALL activists. Now, I am relegated to hunting across multiple sources for information since no outlet provides credible content any longer. I have to discerne fropm their propoganda what is likely true since they are all lying, all of them, all the time now....

You percieve him differently because defending him serves your bias. I am just a little less "devoted" to political actors. I think they all need to be held to account, not unlike Trump has been. I think that is how it should be. But I am not getting that. The man lied, when caught they tried to wordsmith thier way out of it, and got caught. The level to which politicians are protecting Biden, and the DOJ are protecting him as well, stands in stark contrast to the accountability we enjoyed as with Trump. That you only see value in holding Trump accountable while defending Biden is for me tough to digest, I do not think those in power need our protection, nor do they deserve it. They should be heavily scruitinized at all times. I would encourage some caution here, the parallel between Biden and Menendez exists, and that is a BIG reason we see little being done about Menendez. Democrats know only too well how similar the two are, and how what they do to Menendez could come back to haunt them.

My understanding from reading copious amounts on this topic, oversimpliofied..... Israel was granted the land by the victors of WWII, they were given their homeland back. They reached out to the arabs to talk about how to coexist, and they refused and insisted they never would coexist. They launched wars against Israel, who kicked their azzes....took land. Israel gave that land back in many instances, to show they wanted to coexist....but the arabs do not care. They have only ONE stance, elimination of Jews....period. Israel, for its own security...clamped down on those who have mandated to this day for their complete elimination....and they are cheesed off about it. The Palestinian stance can be summed up as thus " I am going to hit you when you are not looking, over and over and over....and when you punish me I am going to tell mom and dad that you are mean and violtent and pretend to be the victim, and when you punish me, I will use that as my reason for hitting you too....."

If you are limiting your consumption of information to only those outlets that perhaps feed your bias I submit that you may not have all the available information as the standard left-wing propoganda outlets are asiduously avoiding it. But there is more, and when it is time we will have access to more. The impeachments of Trumps were rushed, it was abusive what transpired. And if the Republicans replicate it at all with Biden it will STILL be abuse.

Agree. I was satisfied with the Collusion investigation on Trump, and so far this one is satisfying as well. Still, I am wary. At any moment we could reasonably see another fake impeachment, and I focking hate those....

It is clear that Biden lied, repeatedly about his awareness of this son's activities...and since his son was apparently conducting racketeering, I get why he lied. Once it was clear they were caught, that is when they started "amending" what they said, but they got caught on that as well..... I leave it to you, and others, to explain away the corruption for those to whom you look for ideological leadership. I am simply disinclined to allow criminality so long as it pertains to those who suit me politically. Give me on Biden what I got on Trump. Its a rather fair and simple request.
