He didn’t say one-party rule, he said “sanity.”

No other nation has come remotely close to delivering the amount of military aid to Ukraine as the USA. Why he did not lend or lease equipment may be that it cannot be returned or that Ukraine couldn’t be expected to repay. I don’t honestly know, but Biden has been pushing Congress continually for military aid to Ukraine and the GOP’s been putting on the brakes. I have studied International Relations. Republicans love to pretend that it’s very simple and based on “America does whatever the hell it wants and everybody does what we tell them,” but the real world doesn’t work that way. Obviously.

There was no insurrection, you more onz.
Rebound replied to reason10's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
You are so full of sh__ The Proud Boys were very well known as a violent white supremacist threat long before Trump told them to “Stand By.” As President, he had definitely been briefed on the groups who posed domestic terror threats, and Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were at the top of the list. Trump was telling the Proud Boys to be ready to engage in political violence. For F’s sake… have you ever seen photos of them at protests? They come dressed in bullet proof tactical vests, like armed soldiers. Here’s a photo of Enrique Tarrio. He looks like he’s dressed for combat. Because he is. -
New Epstein File Release
Rebound replied to BeaverFever's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Of course, because you’re a conspiracy theorist. Your whole schtick is to put together “This COULD have POSSIBLY happened… therefore, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.” You live in a world of make believe and fantasy. “Fifty secret agents could have infiltrated Riker’s prison and they could have killed him and they could have left without a trace,” but just because that could have happened, it doesn’t mean it happened. Or, as former President Shlthead would say, “A lot of people are saying that Epstein was murdered,” but a lot of people saying something doesn’t make it true. You make stuff up and lie. -
Here’s your problem: You think everything is politics. There is LAW. It’s written. It must be obeyed. Donald Trump is a sack of shlt. Born with all the money in the world, he he spent his entire life being disgusting — cheated on all four of his wives, engaged in non-stop business fraud, and believes that laws don’t apply to him. As in, literally filing a motion with the Supreme Court stating that he is exempt from criminal laws. So now all the Trump fools think there’s no such thing as law, there’s just whatever Donald says. But it doesn’t work that way. There’s the US Constitution, and there is Maine state law, and there is the court system. Maine has different laws; their law says that if someone challenges somebody’s eligibility to be on a ballot, it’s the Secretary of State who MUST decide. So she heard both sides, read the U.S. Constitution, saw that the little tub of shlt threw his rebellion and failed, so then she did her job, like she was supposed to. Now her decision goes to court, which the little tub of shlt is allowed to do, and we’ll see what his friends on the Supreme Court say. Most likely, they’ll agree that insurrection is just dandy if you’re one of their friends.

Yah, these hosers have been hit in the head with too many hockey pucks. -
Are you an expert on Maine’s election laws? When Trump claimed that Obama’s birth certificate was fake, it was the Secretary of State of Hawaii who was the final authority on the subject. He issued a formal letter stating that he had visited the State Archives, that he personally inspected the original birth certificate, and that it was genuine. Secretary of State had the job of establishing Obama’s Constitutional eligibility to be President. Not Congress. Not the Supreme Court.

If the result of the Jan 6 violence would be that Trump remained President, would that mean the U.S. government had been “overthrown”? -

Did the U.S. Civil War “almost overthrow the U.S. government?” And can you provide a citation of Judge Chutkin stating that? -

The Proud Boys leaders repeatedly bragged that they were delighted that Trump told them in September to “stand back and stand by,” with later-convicted leader Tarrio stating, “Standing By, Sir!” And did Trump or his staff in any way back down from that? No, not one iota. Roger Stone, who was a close confidante of Trump, showed up on January 6 literally surrounded by Proud Boys. Their leader, Enrique Tarrio, has since been sentenced to 22 years in prison for Seditious Conspiracy. -

Obviously, you cannot punish people for participating in an insurrection which succeeds. So, OBVIOUSLY, the prohibition of insurrection pertains ONLY to failed or attempted insurrections. -

Traitor Trump directly told the Proud Boys to “Stand Back and Stand By”. “Proud Boys organizer Joe Biggs also posted after the debate that he was "standing by," and he said the president "basically said to go f--- them up." “ So here we have it: Donald Trump DIRECTLY told a known violent white supremacist group to engage in violence. And the Proud Boys confirmed that, and Trump did not walk that back. -
Remember, Remember, the 5th of November! Every year in England, they celebrate the failure of Guy Fawke’s attempt to overthrow the British government. Children across the nation burn effigies of Guy Fawkes. Here in the United States, we also celebrate the failure of Donald Trump’s failure to overthrow our great Constitutional Democracy! Burn an effigy of Traitor Trump Today! FAILED President! FAILED Businessman! FAILED Husband! FAILED Insurrectionist Traitor! Burn the traitor in effigy!

The Biden Campaign Begins.

Put plainly, you have no idea which specific policies changed. -
There were people who said Brown v Board of Education was the end. After all, here’s the Supreme Court telling Kansas and other states that their laws which segregated schools were not allowed, and then President Eisenhower enforced this court ruling with National Guard soldiers. That’s what you’re complaining about, right? The fact that democratically-elected legislatures cannot pass certain laws, because 5 of 9 judges say that a 230 year-old document says they cannot.

So you agree that the Constitution does not say that a conviction is required to disqualify an insurrectionist. And, there is a reason why the Constitution does not require a conviction: Civil War veterans were not tried for participating in the war, yet they were barred from being office holders, IF they had sworn an oath to defend the Constitution.

Question: If this entire crowd was Iranians who were trying to stop election certification to install a different person for President, would that be equally ok with you? -

Nikki Haley’s War with China
Rebound replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Do you think the West doesn’t spy on China as well? I have been strongly opposed to Chinese outsourcing for decades. In my career, I’ve steered our outsourcing to Mexico and Taiwan over China. And when I was required to use Chinese outsourcing, I instituted very strict and robust security protocols. I’ve refused to shop at Wal-Mart for decades, because I know they force American factories to shutter and outsource to China. Wal-Mart has been a massive massive cause of this. My point is that today, given the situation we put ourselves in, my opinion is that de-escalation is superior to escalation. Talking about China using the language of war will only lead to war, with horrific consequences for our nation. It is not the wise strategy. If we corner China and force them into a war, we will get a war. If we offer a way out which allows both nations to continue with our economic interdependence, we can grow our economies and live peacefully.
