  1. Yes, he's wildly corrupt. This is the way oligarchies have always run. Wealthy cronies stealing money from regular traders, probably through one of Hegseth's Signal chats...
  2. Pre-communist Cuba was dependent on the US. Communist Cuba has been embargoed and economically targeted by the US FOR THE ENTIRETY OF ITS EXISTENCE. See analogy above. It's absurd to blame what's happening in Cuba on communism. The US is actively orchestrating a humanitarian crisis. We're doing it quite deliberately. Blame those responsible, not the victims. And FWIW, Cubans do get to vote. There's only one official party, but they do get a voice in steering the direction of the party. I'm not defending communism, but it's asinine to point to Cuba as an example of a failed philosophy when we've been working 60+ years to ensure that it fails, even to the extremes we're at today to inflict suffering.
  3. He was appointed FBI Director by a Republican (Bush) and appointed special counsel by a Republican DOJ under a Republican president--the current one, actually. So I'm gonna give you partial credit for this one, even if accidentally. But regardless of how disreputable the administration that hired him, Mueller was appointed because he had the credibility to do his job without partisan bias: duty first. He built a career on that principle and he lived up to it. He's literally the opposite of Trump in every way, and it's a full and fair testament to your character that you worship the narcissistic, self-serving, pathological liar and convicted felon--who tried to overthrow democracy once already and is doing his best to ensure that a future attempt will succeed.
  4. Half of this stuff is just insane shit from no source in particular that some internet loon made up or decided to repeat. I'd say the algorithm really knows it's audience.
  5. That's farking nuts. It would be like if California cut off food, fuel and medicine to Orange County until it fell apart, and then some asshat said, "Well, just goes to show you the Republican government is a failed system. Hyuk.) They aren't dying because of communism. We're killing them. They are dying because we've waged economic war on them (for decades, actually).
  6. Mueller was a conservative, a decorated soldier, a by-the-book nonpartisan LEO, and a patriot. He did his duty, always. Everything Trump is not. No wonder Trump didn't like him. Trump is a massive piece of shit with no redeeming qualities, and this classless outburst is just another in a long string of reminders.
  7. That's the dumbest argument I've ever heard. Very popular with the MAGA crowd though. I don't think that's coincidence.
  8. HOLY. FARKING. SHIT. You are a shameless liar. It's astonishing watching you weave this collapsing web. First you say he signed an EO to release files. FALSE Then you say he signed a directive to release the files. FALSE Then you say he was the one fighting to release the files. FALSE He was fighting against it. Now, you say that he was: Fighting the bill to protect victims identities Only fought the bill because it didn't allow for redactions Convinced the house to change the bill to allow for redactions Here is the bill as it was introduced--day 1. Guess what's in it? c) PERMITTED WITHHOLDINGS.— (1) IN GENERAL.—In carrying out subsection (a), the Attorney General may withhold from publication any record, document, communication, or investigative material, or redact any segregable portion of any record, document, communication, or investigative material, that— (A) contains personally identifiable information from the personal or medical file of a victim or child witness, including information the publication of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy... And guess what else? Bet you can guess. 🙂 There were amendments and changes proposed to the bill, but none of them succeeded. The bill was passed exactly as it was written. Nothing changed. He simply pretended to support it after he failed to stop it. You are just fabricating an entire alternate reality. Un-farking-believable.
  9. False. Blatantly false. Do you even read the links you post? Clearly not. This is the third time in 2 days you posted citations that undermine or outright contradict the claim you are trying to support. That's a story about voter registration data being hacked before the election--not voting machines for vote manipulation. The story about Trump-Russiacollusion was always about the influence campaigns. That's the conclusion of the Mueller investigation. That's the conclusion of the Republican-led senate intelligence committee report. Russian intelligence was running an influence campaign to help Trump win. That's established fact. Trump's campaign chair (and lacky) were meeting with Russian intelligence operatives while this was happening. That's established fact. It has nothing to do with US intel's conclusion that Russia did not access voting machines. So let me get this straight. We’re supposed to believe, as you apparently do, that a multi-agency, multi-year “treasonous conspiracy” unfolded DURING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION involving dozens (if not hundreds) of career intelligence professionals somehow: Left behind “irrefutable evidence” ever resulted in a single criminal charge Fooled not just one investigation—but all of them Cool cool cool. Meanwhile, in the real world: The bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee—led at the time by Republicans—concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and did so in a way that benefited Trump https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf The Mueller investigation found sweeping Russian interference and numerous contacts between Trump associates and Russians https://www.justice.gov/archives/sco/file/1373816/dl Even the Republican-led committee explicitly stated the intelligence community assessment was “coherent and well-constructed,” not some last-minute fiction https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Report_Volume2.pdf So the “theory” here requires you to believe that, career analysts risked prison to fake intelligence, multiple oversight bodies (including Republicans) just… went along with it, and somehow none of this has held up in court, under oath, or under cross-examination. You're out of your goddamn mind, and firmly wedged up Trump's ass. Look—intelligence assessments are human creations and aren’t going to be flawless-- but your OWN DAMN LINK says that the overall analysis was deemed defensible. They involve judgment, uncertainty, and debate. They could even have been wrong in part and right overall--but that is a very different claim from “they were knowingly fabricated as part of a treason plot.”. Gabbard is not releasing intelligence. She's not cracking a case. She's servicing one of Trump's grievances. If he wants to be pissed at somebody, he should be pissed at Paul Manafort. But nah, he pardoned him for causing all of this. I wonder why?
  10. WTF? He fought the law. He tried to kill it. Once it passed with a veto-proof majority, he signed it. House of Representatives: 427–1 (November 18, 2025) Senate: Passed by unanimous consent (November 18, 2025) You can say that the files don't incriminate him, but there are indeed accusations against him. They were published, taken down, and then re-published when they got called out. You cannot make Trump the hero of this story. That's next-next-level gaslighting. Cult shit way beyond even the MAGA legislative lackeys.
  11. It's the same thing, but I switched? Get your story straight. Again, there is no such report. Gabbard is lying about the contents. There is A report, but it simply does not show what she claims. She's playing a shell game and she's fooled you. Her claim (and by adoption, yours) is that the fact that an Obama-era US intelligence conclusion that Russia could not hack votes (which is what the report says) somehow undermines the basis of the subsequent Trump collusion investigation. That's complete bullshit, because that investigation was never premised on Russia hacking the votes, it was premised on the actual, factual Russian influence operation targeting US voters. I've explained this multiple times: those are two different "crimes." US intel concluding that Russia was not guilty of one thing DOES NOT mean that it was a "hoax" to investigate the Trump campaign's relationship to the manipulation that Russia certainly did commit. It would be like if there was an investigation of someone for fraud, and Gabbard tried to claim that the investigation was a cynical witch hunt because it was already known that the individual hadn't participated in counterfeiting. It's not logical, and it's not true. It's a lie--one you repeat often. Maybe Gabbard fooled you at first, but it's been explained to you enough times that it's your lie now. Would be great if you stopped. And now you're posting claims from random Twitter weirdos that Obama was ordering FBI raid years after he left office? That's just nuts. Why are you doing this? Stop.
  12. No, we what I quoted from YOUR citation was a factual observation that Trump had not ordered any release of Epstein files, which you are trying to conflate with grand jury testimony. I'm language you can understand: Gato a liar. No EO to release files. No directive to release the Epstein files. That's reality. I like it just fine. You should try it sometime.
  13. Lol. You tried the same lying bullshit in both cases, posting links that directly contradict your claim and hoping no one would call you on it. I think we can all see who is denying reality. I quoted it in black and white--which you will probably pretend is green and fuscia.🙄
  14. Doubly false. This is not about collusion and it's not about the amount Russian election interference efforts that are so thoroughly documented. It simply says that Russia didn't hack the vote counts. Gabbard told you that's that the report said, but she lied. It is not. Read the report. Hell, read the article you posted. That's twice tonight ... There is no contradiction. "Gabbard argues that these conclusions are hypocritical and poke holes – if not directly contradict – the intelligence community's 2017 assessment that Russian attempted to influence the election. But Obama officials never claimed that Russian hackers had successfully changed votes or hacked election infrastructure at scale."
  15. You are shameless. Jeebus. No, there was no order to release the files. No, that article in no way, shape or form implies that there was such an order. Yes, the word "order" does appear in that article. Want to guess the context? "Trump’s instruction regarding the grand jury files has done little to settle the calls for more transparency, as he has not ordered the release of the DOJ files" You're trying to use an article that says the EXACT opposite of your claim to support your claim.
  16. There is no such report. You people simply can't grasp the difference between an interference via voter disinformation and hacked voting machines. And I think you do know that your Twitter buddy is FOS, because Obama had been out of government for 6+ years by the time the FBI had to go take back the classified documents that Trump stole.
  17. "Energy independent" doesn't mean we are actually independent in terms of being insulated from these shocks. It means net independence when you add up what we export be what we import of all types of energy. Oil is a global commodity. The fact that we produce so much oil domestically doesn't mean that our price is any different than what supply and demand dictate in the global marketplace, because our oil companies sell into that global marketplace. If we nationalized our oil industry, that would be a different matter, but as long as oil companies are for-profit ventures with an obligation to maximize shareholder value, they are going to sell to the highest bidder. So, yes, prices are skyrocketing here because of Trump's misadventures in Iran. Inflation will follow. The Fed will not be able to cut rates. There's quite an extensive impact.
  18. I think you searched high and low to find a news site as bumfuzzled as you are. Here are all the Trump EOs. Find the Epstein EO and I'll happily acknowledge that you finally got something right. But you didn't.
  19. Eh, I think ever since Trump has come along MAGA "men" are far more tolerant of same-sex attraction. They'd wait in line for days for a nice Cleveland Steamer from their god emperor. Daaaaays. They fly the flags. The put stickers on their jacked up compensation trucks. They buy the merch. Until the steamery opens, they'll have to settle for having his name splashed all over them.
  20. He didn't sign an executive order. He fought vocally against releasing the files for months, and then "heroically" signed the Epstein Transparency Act that was passed with e veto-proof majority. In other words, he lost. And there are indeed claims against Trump. You're quite aware of them. Why lie?
  21. Isn't it already working? Trump is begging for help from the countries that he continuously ignores, insults and disrespects. His line yesterday was "maybe we shouldn't be here at all." He's a man of little conviction, on the verge of taking his ball and going home.
  22. Your senses? It's warm and soft. The sound is muffled. Smells like shit. And if it weren't so dark, the only thing you'd see would be your own colon. That's why facts and data are persuasive and your feelings are not.
  23. Damned if that isn't something with which everyone can agree. Pretty much always
  24. Impressive? No, not particularly. But it serves to separate the ignorant from the willfully ignorant. Congrats, you've self selected into the latter group.
