And it would be interesting to know how much these trials cost taxpayers. Clearly, the libs who defended Clinton and the pseudo-conservatives who defend Trump will only criticize these expenses when it comes to the "other" side. Meanwhile, normal Americans take a bath in the swamp water.

They both talk a good game, but their actions show what they really think. When they parole drug dealers, it does not show much support for law enforcement (or concern for the rest of us).

Habitat. Fires and clear cuts no longer have the effect they used to. "Restoration" has become a euphemism for spraying the remaining brush and replanting in pine, producing a barren monoculture of no value to wildlife. CalFire (once California Division of Forestry) now seems entirely focused...

First Trump, and now Biden. Pretending to support the blue (and the rest of us) while paroling drug dealers--and then expressing astonishment at the crime that follows.

Actually, I said that inflation jumped from 2015 to 2016 (both of which fall under the Obama administration), and then again in 2021. You are the one choosing to associate that increase with each presidential administration, even as I made the case that the inflation rate at any point in time...

Agreed. And every other politician would be motivated to figure out how to pay off the bill that they have accumulated in the past three decades. And, if their supporters really cared, they would be searching for candidates to replace the ones who put us in this position. But that ain't...

Biden's overspending is certainly part of it. As was Trump's. And neither happens in a vacuum, without Congress. But only an idiot would deny that an economic meltdown during a global pandemic, weak supply chains, and two wars do not contribute to its lasting effect...

Your focus appears to be in comparing administrations rather than the events that contribute to inflation rates. If that is the case, then I would point out that, although Trump was elected in Nov 2016, he cannot be held responsible for the increase I pointed out between 2015 and 2016 since...

I wrote that inflation tripled in 2016 and then quadrupled again during Covid (2021), and Congress has missed even no-brainer opportunities at reform like rescinding unused stimulus passed during the pandemic. Between the lines, my point is that inflation will remain high. despite the fact that...

You make a strong case for Sleepy Joe.

ACLU would have been all over this had he been anyone else, just as MAGA will take up his cause but ignore others. Both are hypocrites. There was a time when all good conservatives would push for harsher penalties. Dude's been convicted of, and pled guilty to, assault against women on three...

Dear Karine, The thread was about Trump media, but cannibals are just as good.

Yes. My point, exactly.

Would that be Make Cannabis Great Again in Jamaica? JFP, Biden must be high.

That is consistent with the data shown, give or take a point. Not sure how that relates to my post...

Will someone who cares please explain the concept of percentages to Homer?

The approval of foreign aid by the House is an excellent example of productive compromise by both parties. Majorities of both resisted the demands of liberal and pseudo-conservative extremists (Omar, Greene, et al) to deliver the support that Americans demand. It just goes to show how deluded...

Israel will be fine on its own. It is armed to the teeth with US-made technology and upgraded by their own systems. As long as wealthy Sunni Arab countries stay out of the fray, Iran can do little but threaten shipping in-and-out of the gulf. The only real threat is that someone will conduct...

Undoubtedly. And failure to compromise may mean even bigger losses. Take your pick. If FISA is unconstitutional it will be rejected by the Supreme Court, and not on the grounds of some thread on MonsterMuleys. Do you really support the Constitution? Or are you going to play "the Supreme...

And his bassist has all the moves, too. Not even sure what the guy in the white pants is doing...

You seem to believe that bona fide conservatives do not approve of the proposed border security bill, Ukraine funding, FISA and others. In fact, it is only a subset who feel that way, and much of this is the result of Trump's antipathy toward these issues. Sorry to say, but Trump is not the...

I am a conservative who supports FISA, Ukraine, and improved security at the border--even if these cost money or piss off Trump. And I am not alone. It may not occurred to you yet, but conservatives do not agree among themselves on every issue. So, either we work out our own differences, or the...

Or, we could save you.

Of course, non-MAGA Republicans would say it is voters like you that risked the election. We all had every opportunity to compromise on a candidate, yet this did not happen. It appears that conservatives would rather hold each other responsible for our losses than beat the Democrats. And the...

If the facts are obvious, then I have no doubt that Trump will appoint administrators that will see it to court, and then we will find out what an informed jury believes. Until then, innocent.

I would vote for any old-school conservative before I would vote for Trump. Trump has destroyed the party like no democrat ever could, and I would rather identify as a RINO than with Trump. In the end, all Republicans will suffer for the destruction of the party. MAGA ridicules those who...

Those who supported Trump throughout his primary campaign cannot complain that now they have "only" the choice between two bad apples. They are the reason why we are in this fix. Yet, Hannity and others stroke each others egos and call themselves "Great Patriots." At this point, one cuts his...

Oh, the hysteria! Don't be such a snowflake. You make a habit of whining about and demeaning anyone who disagrees with your point of view, so don't be surprised if others goad you into more of it just to expose the frailty of your positions. Intolerance and over-sensitivity is exactly the...

Every day is presents a new ballot. You make your choices, and the support of people like you have ensured that the ballot in November will install one or the other of two losers.

In your mind, there is only Trump and Biden; both living rent-free. For you, the choice is all about people, not principle, and one can never do right, while the other can never do wrong. And it bothers you that anyone would point out your inconsistencies. As a MAGA enabler, that is your cross...

I could not care less about the small investors. They played the game and they may lose, or not--only time will tell. As previously stated, my post has nothing to do with sympathy. It is about one thing only--the reaction of those investors once they realize that insiders are profiting from...

I am not contesting that. I am contesting the suggestion that Americans live in poverty as a result of those dollars distributed to other countries. We do give a lot--and poorly at times--but those contributions are returned to us by the fact that it purchases power, and with power comes...

And you'll find a lot more deer off a pair of boots than a set of 33's!

Best use I have seen so far for a Forest Service vehicle...

Yep. Pay for the education of those most prepared to support themselves. Pay farmers so sit on fallow lands protected from taxes by the Williamson Act. And gerrymander every voting district to ensure that the bases of both parties never have to answer to those who provide their financial support.

I don't see much poverty. What I do see are twenty-five year-old women tipping the scales at 200+ who appear to get plenty to eat, and guys barely qualified to move cones on-and-off the highway complaining about the price of diesel for their new F250s. What I see is lack of discipline and a...

I think that his gambit is a bit more clever than that. Certainly, there will be some who bought the stock who really expected it to turn a profit (and perhaps these people will learn a hard lesson in investing), but there will be others who buy the stock in order to contribute to his campaign...

No, and I have no idea why you would read this into my comment. As I said, I have no problem with the rules governing investments, and understand that some people will lose as others win. But, the decision seems short-sighted to me for political reasons. I think that Trump will profit at his...

Insiders have earned considerable money since Trump Media's public offering, and stand to earn much more. Small investors appear not to be faring so well. And now insiders hope to sell millions more shares, thereby further weakening the position of existing small shareholders. I have no quarrel...

Hang him high.
