I miss that. I really, really miss that.

Nobody is going to agree with anoyone else 100% of the time, if they've really given some thought to it. Why are so many people wanting to draw lines in the sand? Left and right both.

I know I've said this multiple times here, but it bears saying again. Why can't we all just take a breath and understand that disagreement is part of life? It doesn't make someonean enemy. We CAN do this.
It's the elite who are pulling the strings on the politicians and corporate media to keep the people divided, while they continue to chip away more of our rights. It's the oldest trick in the book, a people divided are never united. We had a sliver of unity when Epstein was found dead. Most who have a brain know he was murdered to keep quiet, but since then, it's been all hushed.

If Trump did something wrong, the legal system will take care of it. For dems, however, they want nothing to do with investigating their own politicians and enforcing the rule of law. Laws, to liberals, are rules to be enforced selectively to advance a political agenda, and should not be uniformly enforced. The dems are not interested in justice, but simply using the legal system cynically to attack a political opponent they hate.


Liberals are fascists and care nothing about the rule of law, the Constitution, and justice- only blind obedience to their leaders. This is how fascists operate. One only needs to look at the rampant corruption in democrat controlled cities. Dems use the political system to gain wealth and advance personal agendas at the expense of the people.


The urban hell holes are always run by dems, as this corrupt, third world manner of political rule always ends the same.


Liberalism is the biggest threat to America- greater than China or radical Islam. It is not surprising that liberals love our enemies (such as China and muslims), as they are a force set out to destroy western civilization.
So explain just what the heck is the motivation that drives liberals to destroy western civilization? Please explain what liberals will get out of all this destruction. After all, don't they have to live in it?

Impeachment on flimsy evidence when they have zero chance of getting 67 Senate votes is obviously an act of desperation, but their party is a long way from dying. They will probably lose the vote and some seats, hit rock bottom, eat some crow, start recovering, and maybe gain some seats in 2022.

Do Democrats (and the MSM) have any clue just how childish and frankly stupid they look to the average, moderate voter? How dumb they look when time after time they make up charges, throw mud...only to have the charges vaporize into...nothing? To be proven wrong and ineffectual time after time after time? To have it revealed that everything they accuse conservatives of-are documented things that they in fact have actually done?

Do they never get tired of looking like losers (well, sore losers)? Of being wrong? Of generating contempt for themselves? Of being seen as terrible two year olds throwing a temper tantrum? Is this all just the last gasp of a failed party crashing into rubble-before the final reform into the American Communist party?
Sore losers and petulant children are exactly accurate. They should just shut down the Democrat Party and simply change their name. Socialist/Communist, anyone?

Political power and money. See how lucrative politics have been for the Clintons, the Obamas, the Bidens, et al. It's Chicago graft at a global level.

And yes, for Repubs too.

The dems seem particularly good at it though.

The Communists won't have them. The C's have experience at successfully infecting countries large and small with their agendas (if you call running a country into the ground and producing a catastrophically poor standard of living "success"). And they know the Democrats will never achieve even that level of "success" by simply screaming for years in bitterness and hate. The C's don't want any part of a failed ideology with an 0-for-everything record of failure in even starting to implement their ideology in a target country.

I think both Parties are dead in the water. Trump is his own thing, we'll see what replaces the status quo once he's out of office.

No.
There are differences, and the differences are very obvious to everyone.

Corruption is always a part of politics, no matter what the politics is. No human form of government exists that can prevent corruption. It's like a virus that can't be killed.

By only Democracy can stop the virus from spreading, and it has, but there is no permanent cure. Americans have wiped it out many times. It always comes back over time. Just as there has always been big money who have mastered corruption's uses. There will always be those people.

There are also the people who are resigned and indifferent to it, just as you are. There are others who will always be quick to attack and oppose corruption too.

Democracy offers you many choices. You can choose to be oppressed, or you can choose to the the oppressor. Or you can even choose to be the noble fighter who refuses to be either oppressed or oppressor.

I suggest there is NO justice until we start using AI for both sides.
