Chaffetz back but obviously in no condition to kick a$$. Nunes is still GONE, and a host of Intel still working, going to be an interesting month.

Get over your self righteous indignation. You elected a BOOB and you OWN him.

Bunch of RWNJ tards. Duh.
No, actually, you're a RINO, which is a whole different story, isn't it?

Interesting, about? The Obama search for some connection between Trump and Russia, which resulted in zero, and so they now keep at it to create more rioting? The Democrats are dead. It's a dead party. There is nothing left in the liberal camp except chaos, rioting, and George Soros. That, is what I find interesting.

The rudeness aside, re: that Bravo comment...

The left wanted to elect a woman that embodies their own spirit. Corrupt and inept. See how that works?

So, what's different with either party? Much of it is perception, with varying amount of substance, which also often is nothing but perception/opinion.

Your party is in many ways as corrupt and sleazy as some of the Republicans are. EVERYBODY in the D.C. swamp is looking out for themselves. Very few "good guys" on either side.

Might as well admit it. If people on both sides admitted what they already know, maybe there would be hope of coming together for the good of the people for a change instead of calling one another names, such as "tards."

Being unwilling to understand, having lack of good will and desire to work together, being bereft of good argument, leads to argumentative state. Name calling is proof.

Instead of perception and opinion, we could go with actual evidence.

You know, facts rather than cooked-up propaganda based on suspicions, innuendoes, and lies.

Over the last several decades, there is simply no comparison between the actual things the Republicans have done and what the Democrats have been up to.

Nixon was a piece of work and resigned to avoid impeachment over actual illegal behavior.

Reagan's backdoor deal with Iran to keep those hostages imprisoned until his inauguration was despicable. The whole Iran-Contra business was illegal and in direct defiance of Congress. Plus, the constant lies.

The way Republicans went after Bill Clinton over a consensual blow job was despicable. Yet they all seem quite proud of themselves and mention it constantly on this forum.

Republicans smeared John Kerry, branded him a coward. Here's a man who patrolled the Mekong Delta in a swift boat, rescuing down pilots and they called him a coward. Republicans cheered as Trump publicly and repeatedly disrespected a Gold Star mother and a POW. It turns a person's stomach.

Team Bush lied about the WMDs, and thousands of lives and billions of dollars later, Bush joked around on stage, looked under imaginary furniture. Cheney's Halliburton made out like bandits. The rest of us not so much.

Republicans went after Hillary Clinton tooth and toenail. Benghazi hearings were nothing but political theater meant to smear her. Even Republicans admit that. Years of calling her corrupt based on paranoid suspicions and outright lies. No criminal charges were ever produced, just constant accusations of her of assassinating opponents, running pedophile rings, etc.

Republicans should be ashamed of the way they treated President Obama. If the Republicans had any ethics at all, they would have put a stop to that birther nonsense years ago. Republicans are even fine with Trump falsely accusing Obama and Rice of committing crimes.

It sure looks that the current Republican administration is involved in some mighty shady stuff. We'll have to see what happens with the Congressional hearings, if the Republicans ever quit blocking them. Who knows what the grand juries will come up with, but it looks like treason from the cheap seats.

The disrespecting of the judicial system, the unbelievable conflicts of interest, a foreign agent as Trump's National Security Advisor... Republicans are fine with all of this.

There simply is no comparison between Clinton not revealing a bunch of emails and what Bush/Cheney were up to then and Trump is up to now.

From dirty political tricks and smearing people's reputations with lies to gerrymandering, purging voter rolls in the dark of night, stealing a seat on the Supreme Court... there is simply no comparison between the two parties.

To say that both parties are the same is, shall we say, disingenuous. :roll eyes:

LOL...LOL. this post is full of examples of cooked-up propaganda based on suspicions, innuendoes, and lies.

And you don't see it. I don't expect that you would. Leftist propaganda has been very effective. Just because you don't like Republicans doesn't mean they are wrong on everything.

Y'all really are funny. You present a good front while leaving your backside exposed.

Here's a good example of how that works but it actually deserves its own thread:

shall we just say its a mix of selective incomplete facts, tossed into the pot, stirred and allowed to stew until they take on a savor of their own -- then dished out for consumption.

I can't say the right doesn't do the same. Each side emphasizes what it believes is important and right according to their point of view. Trouble is, they're not listening to one another. Not really listening.

At times, both sides have valid points.

No let's not say it is a mixed bag of "incomplete facts."

Let's look at each example and see if it true or not.
