craftsman 1,045 Posted July 25, 2022 9 minutes ago, Sean Mooney said: So you are saying you would've been okay with Barack Obama saying the same exact things as Trump and you would have said about the people "They were just taking selfies."? Yeah. I'm no fan of Obama, but if people destroy things, I just hope they get prosecuted for it. I don't care what Obama says. If you are foolish enough to listen to him, and you commit a crime, that's on you. Unlike in 2020 when no one was seemingly being thrown in prison. And if some 79 year old woman with cancer were to have walked into and wandered around a federal building illegally in 2020, I wouldn't expect her to have been thrown into solitary confinement for a year+ like they are doing with those that went through opened doors into the capital.

I only commented because you made it about rich right wing nonsense 5) because my son is extremely advanced and they regular school has 30 students all on the same level. He pretty much learned stuff he learned when he was 5 and home schooled. He’s 10. He took a test when he went into public school and tested into 8th grade but we wanted him to be with kids his age. So they moved him into a 4/5 charter class which has 14 students and he can go at his own pace. 1.) Not to me it isn't. 2.) Yeah I'm sure the schools that purposely grab low achieving kids and rubber stamp them through charter schools because it pays more are solely concerned about the kids education. 3.) See you don't know how so many charter schools operate and thus don't know where the waste comes in. 4.) Look at the political affiliations for a majority of the people who run them. 5.) So you're son (if I believe your story) is an exceptional student who is in a very specific situation and thus would benefit from something where he can potentially work at a different pace. That does not mean everyone has that experience. Also- traditional brick and mortar public schools will allow students to accelerate if the parents push for it.

Do what's right and indict the SOB, and you have 30 million deluded Trumpites and the right wing media propaganda machine screaming about how the whole thing is political. And of course it's political, just by the nature of those involved. Or you turtle and refuse to indict him because of political cowardice, and the next wannabe strongman authoritarian that gets elected POTUS will be smarter than Trump and be successful where Trump wasn't. And the whole notion of a liberal democracy in the US goes extinct, while those 30 million bask in the liberal tears.

wiffleball 4,662 Posted July 27, 2022 You know when you boil this all down. It turns out that this may be one of the few hearings where there's actually more meat than fat. More fire than smoke. Not that I expect the die hard Trumpers to actually watch and read through the hearings. There are now so many videos of reporters and even comedians confronting mouth breathing locals wearing Trump hats with actual testimony and video and audio and the Trumpers just saying oh it can't be true! Fake news! Rudy giuliani! Pillow guy! I mean, God damn, it's like the Retarded Avengers and Teflon Man. And itd take about 5 seconds to dig up video from a past Trump rally where some of the truck morons were wearing pro Putin t-shirts. Less than that for Q'anon. Both sides are pretty well set. I mean when you have trump family, cabinet members, appointees, confidants, everybody telling the same story? f***, If this were a criminal case? He'd be under the jail by now. But it's mostly a political dog and pony and congress's way of trying to keep him the f*** from running again. Because if Biden is the alternative? Wow. There might be a record number of Democrats voting for DeSantis at this point. But damned if Josh Hawley didn't get his ass owned by congress. . Damn. I bet nobody sits next to him at the Congressional lunch room. I've never seen anybody skit at all that hard to get away from a couple of guys taking selfies. So which is it? If nobody remembers anything else, the video of him running like a b**** is going to stay ingrained for a long time. "Yay insurrectionists! I'm with you! Holly shiit! Insurrectionists! Gotta go!" I'm not sure who dubbed in the Scooby-Doo running away audio clip. But it was perfect. I've never seen anybody skedaddle in such terror from "a couple of guys taking selfies." Isn't that what some of you characterize this as? I mean facts, video, audio, still photos, testimony, admitted testimony under oath notwithstanding... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if there is any woman I hate more than Hillary is probably pelosi. Or harris. In fact, and you think the media would figure this out being the woke people they are. I think of any single Congress woman we know. Whether it's AOC or Margarita green or whatever. They're all tragically stupid. There's got to be some smart ones. But we never hear from them. Literally, and I thought about it for a while. The only woman I can think of that gets consistently fairly favorably reported from Congress is Darth Cheney's daughter. And as much as I hope her father dies in an entirely New circle of hell? She's pretty f****** bright. And has integrity. In fact, I'd f****** vote for her before just about anybody else right now. But the rest of them should die or at least get the f*** out of congress. That Sarah Palin want to be from my state? The idiot who talked about the giant Jewish space laser? Don't even get me started on Sheila Jackson lee. If this is supposed to be a seminal moment for female lawmakers? They are s******* the bed spectacularly. But again, we know your colors.
