What has happened to the Democratic Party?
Rebound replied to Mako's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
To be clear, Hillary Clinton did not vote for the war. Congress never declared war on Iraq. Instead, Congress voted to give war powers to President Bush, to use as a negotiating tool. But as soon as Bush had his authorization, he declared war. -
Here’s the deal: The money behind the $20 million Jesus ad came mostly from Hobby Lobby, a company which has spent many millions of dollars to fight against equal workplace rights for LGBTQ people. So behind all this “Jesus is a messenger of love” is “Jesus wants us to discriminate.” That is what it is. I looked at their ads and their website and they make it all look like it’s just a friendly group of folks coming together, but it isn’t. It’s a billionaire funding his mission of discrimination.

The world was in the grip of the Cold War in 1952 when a nuclear reactor began melting down. That reactor, located at Chalk River Laboratories in Ontario, had suffered an explosion on Dec. 12. Radioactive material had escaped into the atmosphere, and millions of gallons of radioactive water flooded into the reactor’s basement. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the Canadians needed help to disassemble the reactor’s damaged core. The United States sent 28-year-old Jimmy Carter. In 1952, Carter was selected to join an elite team to help develop the Navy’s first nuclear submarines. Once he had trained his crew and the submarine was constructed, Carter was to be the commanding officer of the USS Seawolf. Then the partial meltdown happened, and Lt. Carter was one of the few people on the planet authorized to go inside a nuclear reactor. Carter and his two dozen men were sent to Canada to help, along with other Canadian and American service members. Because of the intensity of radiation, a human could spend only 90 seconds in the damaged core, even while wearing protective gear. First, they constructed an exact duplicate of the reactor nearby. Then they practiced and practiced, dashing into the duplicate “to be sure we had the correct tools and knew exactly how to use them,” Carter wrote. Each time one of his men managed to unscrew a bolt, the same bolt would be removed from the duplicate, and the next man would prep for the next step. Eventually, it was Carter’s turn. He was in a team of three. “Outfitted with white protective clothes, we descended into the reactor and worked frantically for our allotted time,” he wrote. In one minute and 29 seconds, Carter had absorbed the maximum amount of radiation a human can withstand in a year. The mission was successful. The damaged core was removed. Within two years, it had been rebuilt and was back up and running. For several months afterward, Carter and his crew submitted fecal and urine samples to test for radioactivity. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2023/02/20/jimmy-carter-nuclear-reactor-navy/

FOX LIES internal emails SHOW

I don’t consider MoveOn a news source. They are a political action committee who advocates Democratic causes. -

Facts don’t have conservative or liberal viewpoints. They are facts. Besides that, I can read a LOT faster than I can watch some guy talking. That video is eight and a half minutes long. -

What is it with you and “My evidence is a guy talking on YouTube?” -
This has nothing to do with George Santos. I hope we all agree that Santos is a liar and a fraud, and he does not belong in Congress no matter what party he’s with. If he was a Democrat, the Republican Congressmen would be demanding his ouster… and they’d get it. The real story is: Why are the GOP Congressmen defending him? They should be holding hearings and kicking him out as soon as they can.

Van Jones is entitled to his opinion. I think his opinion is that important issues like jobs and housing are what matter, not whether Trump collided with Russia. To help you understand: I read fast. I don’t have the patience to listen to an opinionated right-wing windbag prattle on his YouTube Channel for twenty minutes about conspiracy theories and rumors. When you post a link to the article, “Van Jones said X”, that is something I can follow and verify. If it’s objective fact, it’s verifiable. That’s why you’ll almost never get me to watch one of the YouTube links you post. It takes forever and it’s rarely objective fact, it’s just a guy talking. -

I want you to think about how horribly media like Washington Times lies to you. You cited an article titled: “Democrats question election results, voting machines.” I read that article. Did you? Because if you read the article, you’d know this: They quoted one single Democrat as saying he does not trust voting machines. Not a leader or official, just a 34 year old guy. One guy! WTF? A reporter can probably find a black person who thinks slavery was great for black people. Headline: “Black People Think Slavery Was Great!” Is that accurate in any way? If they find two black people who think that way, does that make the headline accurate? Absolutely not. You use these articles to prove your points but the articles themselves are just outright lies. Somewhere, don’t you have some actual concerns and opinions of your own? Instead of “Rah rah Republicans,” we’d much rather know about what you think. -

Really? It was a joke? Let me ask you something: If burglars keep stealing things from you, over and over, and the theft of your property benefits someone… and THEN that person asks the thief to steal more things from you… is that a joke? See, it was a fact that Russia stole from Hillary Clinton. And it was a fact that the theft benefitted Donald Trump. That is no joke, and it is not myth; those two things are face. Donald Trump had hired a bunch of people with ties to the Russian government. And Trump gleefully, repeatedly exploited it. That put him under suspicion. The fact that Trump was personally, directly and happily taking advantage of Russian espionage activities exempts the “I’m joking” defense. Let me give you some excellent free legal advice: If you are ever a crime suspect, DO NOT JOKE ABOUT IT. -

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said, referring to emails Mrs. Clinton had deleted from the private account she had used when she was secretary of state. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.” -
Democrats now attacking SUBURBS
Rebound replied to reason10's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
This site is better for me now that I’ve put reason10 on my Ignore list. He states ridiculous bigoted lies and then curses at you for any disagreement. He is a toxic individual and does not deserve your attention or time. This board would be much better if we all simply ignore everything he posts. -

“Alleged” internal Dominion emails? Right now, Fox News is in the middle of a $1.6 Billion lawsuit with Dominion. Both parties have the right to subpoena this kind of information from the other, specifically electronic email and text message records. So if these “alleged” emails exist, Fox would have obtained them. But they did not, because they don’t exist. This guy uses the word “alleged” as a cover for a lie that he made up. When a person is legitimately accused of a crime, no matter how much evidence exists, he is “alleged” to have committed the crime until he has been convicted. That’s how the media uses the word “alleged.” Not “I just made something up so I’ll call it an allegation”. He’s making that up out of thin air. -

What is a “low income scumbag”? I thought you told us that you’re a part-time teacher. That doesn’t seem like a high income profession to me. In fact, it seems pretty doggone low income. Housing prices have skyrocketed and people need to live somewhere. If you go to Burger King, do you order a burger from a low income scumbag who doesn’t deserve to have a home? If you run a business, are your employees low income scumbags who should live on the streets? -

The State of Montana launched that balloon to spy on the Dutton Ranch.
