Happy New Year, Dan. Hope you are enjoying the new year.
I have decided to respond to your post as I come to it. We will see how it goes.
It’s an easy thing to sit behind a typewriter on the
web and smile as you post.
Not sure how you meant that. As for me, I will be happier when it gets a little warmer. Really hate the cold weather.
The Democrats are a sorry lot right now and Assange
Snowden and anyone like them should have a timeout
next to Manafort and Cohen and everyone else who has
fallen on the sword for Trump.
Don’t misunderstand me I’m not saying crimes are equal
they just all belong in prison.
I am really not that interested in seeing more people go to prison regardless of what side they are on. I personally think that too many people have gone to prison already for no good reason. If someone poses a threat to society, I want them in prison, otherwise, forget it. But I do want the truth. I want the truth about the wistleblower; I want the truth about Biden and Ukraine and I want the truth about the DNC emails. I don't think we have it yet
Republicans have openly admitted Trumps guilt but voted
along party lines because like liberals, republicans like there
cushy jobs too.
I think that there is a range of opinion among Republicans as well as Democrats. Basically what Trump did can be interpreted in ways ranging from total innocence to completely inappropriate. I don't know his actual intention, but I do think it is hazardous to attempt to read the mind of a person and assume the worst possible intent in the manner that the Democrats have insisted.
I would assume that the President was aware that Biden was a Democrat. However that does not mean that his intent was necessarily corrupt. One thing I know: some people will assume the best of intentions and some will assume the worst. And that is undoubtedly true for both Republicans and Democrats. I think the position of some Republicans was that even if the worst is assumed, it does not rise to the level of an impeachable offense. I would count myself among those.
But that doesn't mean that that is what I believe. My actual opinion is that his intention was relatively innocent meaning that it was about as innocent as one could expect from a politician.
Vindman is being attacked because any slight against trump
requires a nuclear response.
I think a retired Army officer, Jim Hickman, who knew with him in Grafenwoher, Germany was right. I think Vindman is a Democratic activist in uniform. I think the last thing Trump needs is to have Democratic activists in his administration supposedly carrying out his policies (who actually oppose them). Vindman will simply be reassigned. He is still in the army. (However, I understand that his twin brother will be without a job at least momentarily. My guess is that one of the Democratic think tanks will quickly pick him up. It is how political activists are usually employed when their party is out of power in DC.)
Trump has maneuvered himself into a very good place by
obstructing justice, Lying to congress and ignoring our own
intelligence community because he knew damn well what
Russia was up to and day one he lifted sanctions and invited
them into the WH with open arms.
I disagree. I don't know how else to say it. I will say that I think the Democrats have manuvered themselves into a very bad place with their incessent unfounded attacks, however.
Anyway the point is he says fake news,the system is rigged
just like our elections so if there truly rigged he can simply ignore
the 2020 results without acknowledging the count because the
system is rigged when he doesn’t get his way.
It isn't Trump who has insisted that elections were rigged. (He has correctly pointed out that the 2016 Democratic primaries were rigged against Bernie Sanders and that the Dems are trying to do it again this year.)
I have repeatedly said he will win 2020 as the Dems have nobody
who has the balls to take him on and still the perceived threat of
Biden made the Ukrainian shit show happen, Biden was never going to win
because he is a human gaff machine and Bernie is a slam dunk
with his mantra of get in line for your free shit socialism agenda.
I think you are right that Joe Biden was never going to win. And the impeachment trial has ruined what little chance he had in the beginning. The media did a pretty good job of protecting him until the trial, but the trial exposed him. And supposedly, it was to intended to help him. It just goes to show that the Democrats can fuck up a wet dream.
There are no gimme’s in life if you want something in this country
working hard and sacrifice can get you what you need and I believe
in this principal.
Trump is a man with no honor or moral compass and has been proven
every other sentence from his mouth is a lie but then again all politicians
lie, so there’s that.
Let’s spend a minute on the economy,
Republicans ran this nation into the ground and killed thousands
of American troops for a dumbass war in Iraq.
The day W took office he wanted SSI to be put into the
stock market! thank god that didn’t happen...
The neocons, both Democratic and Republican, got us into the middle east wars. You can count the Clintons right along with the Cheneys and Rumsfelds. There isn't 10 cents worth of difference between the lot of them.
Obama was handed a country that was completely broken both
financially and militarily.
So from what obama had to work with being on the “right track” wasn’t
close to what Trump was handed and our corporate masters have
run amuck with the free wheeling style of investing in themselves
and it doesn’t bother me it’s just the way things are, I get it.
Make no mistake we are not heading in any direction that matters
to everyday Americans.
My supermarket is cashier free,how about yours?
Self driving cars are more about transporting and
Employee free delivery of goods
Well, we certainly have self serve at the gas stations and it is getting that way at the grocery store. In the meantime, we are closing in on 8 million new jobs since Trump came into office. The January numbers came out today; another 225,000 new jobs were added in January.
