Very well, on this point we will then have to agree to disagree.

Great points. I recall your assertions, so then it makes sense that there is likely no route available to get to the truth via subpoena....

I do not concur with your position on this. While i is true that the Republicans are in power and might be able to force their policies into play, I think there is value in the mediation of that policy that the filibuster affords us. I think that about 50%of America not in support of Republicans can still have a voice through the filibuster, and I think it is good and healthy for the democracy. If Republicans are compelled to put forth policy so as to at least secure some Democrat support, then the policy is potentially better. It is through conflict and debate that we hone the best outcomes.

Not sure about the future, I doubt it.... I am thinking about the most corrupt people.....Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer and then those around the Jan 6th committee...... What if congress subpoenas them to testify about their participation? Can they refuse to show up? Refuse to answer? Or can we get them to admit the things they did? Since they face no danger of prosecution? They either refuse to answer or they do, and maybe we can catch them perjuring themselves. I do not expect any of them to actually be held to account. But the value of exposing them for what they really are could benefit Republicans for the next decade....

Beats me, but apparently you can do it. I am hopeful that these pardons might effectively force Democrats to admit their crimes. It might not. But my god if it does.....we cannot prosecute them of course, but putting them om full display should hurt the Democrat party really effectively.

I find it humorous that the Biden/Democrat position to allow people to come without vetting how has criminals disbursed with non criminals among the immigrant community. So now ICE can use the presence of the criminals to also remove the non criminals. I have to think liberals for their abundant stupidity when it comes to policy for empowering the new administration and ICE to perform at much higher levels. Well done.

Its funny because Democrats move from using the filibuster to opposing it, purely depending on whether the power of it benefits them or not. And yet here you have Thune representing the standard Republican position to support it for the ability of those not in power to still have a voice.....the disparity between the two parties on stark display.

I see, ok....makes sense

If I might, I think that might not be the move here. Rejecting inconvenient truths is not the path. Her death was absolutely a result of failed border policies coupled with failed law enforcement strategies. The win here is admitting and then rolling up the sleeves to find a better way.

But, he already has immunity. The pardon ensures he cannot be prosecuted. So if he already has immunity for his deeds, through the pardon.....and is say, subpoenaed to answer questions from Congress....he can answer.....

Interesting. So then could he refuse to respond to questions AND refuse the immunity? I honestly do not know. I guess I am wondering whether or not has can avoid answering questions posed to him, and others on the Jan 6th committee as well. Does that make sense? Does the pardon remove their ability to refuse to answer questions since they have been pardoned for their actions?

Could it be true, that if say....Adam Schiff is "pardoned" that he then could not use the 5th amendment if questioned by congress?

We have been unBidened......by what has been.....

I think skepticism is fine, by all means, and you will likely find flaws better than I. You are keen to see them whereas by bias might be inclined to overlook them

Sorry. Just excited, they are capturing so many serious criminals and removing them from our streets, I am just so happy.....

It does tend to happen. But that does not then mean I will accept it being done to me.

I think you are correct. I think in part my point is the inclination to label and name call out of frustration when someone disagrees with your point of view.

There was no threat made, just an observation. Which your reply just confirmed.

Jerry.....Jerry.......Jerry- Its all just coincidence.... Don't read into the fact that Faucci was engaged in gain of function activities for Corona prior to Obama saying it had to end......or that he was in contact and cooperation with a lab in China where that research was transpiring.....and all that business.....where the virus started....in that town where the gain of function was being studied? pfffftttt Coincidence.....

You dont even know me. But I doubt you would say this to my face.....

I disagree with the pardons for the J6 folks. But this is what elections create....consequences. Comparing this consequence to what Biden did to us, makes this easier to take

God I hope this happens. The people who are advocating for illegal immigration need to go away, like forever

You should check out News Nation, it is the closing thing to impartial/non-advocacy journalism I have seen in a long time; notably, check out Cuomo....who has done a 180 and is now speaking truth for BOTH sides

Nah....strike is ok, he and I have had some serious go-rounds on this forum, but he is smart and alert, he just misunderstood the situation, I would not read into it

This is correct. I posted about the deployment of some military resources to the border to bulk up those military resources already there, and called out the inclusion of Marines
