Re: RIP Swingman

OMG I just saw this. I can barely type right now because the tears are flowing. I also have known Swingy since the AZCentral days. He was always one of mine and MEE's favorites. He could be harsh at times but had a heart of gold. I actually saw this first on FB as he and I were friends and we talked...

Re: Kobe dead. RIP. Memories thread.

Maybe I'm a jerk but I remember Kobe Bryant as a despicable human being, a rapist who avoided conviction because he had the money to hire good lawyers. Maybe he improved in his later years, I don't know. But don't expect me to eulogize him just because he was a superlative basketball player. His da...

Brilliant basketball player but this was my first thought when I heard the news:

Re: Impeachment

And all of this is for naught if it doesn't convince more people to get out and vote. 73.6M people voted against Donald Trump in the last election, but he still won with only 63M votes. It is critical to get more people to vote if we want to rid ourselves of the racist grifter sitting in the oval o...

Re: IG Horowitz reports/US Atty John Durham investigation

I haven't commented because you are spouting GOP garbage talking points. I have given up trying to convince people who think the GOP has any shred of integrity left. If you want to live in their fantasy land, enjoy yourself. Oh come on Mori, you know me better than that. Obviously you didn't read w...

Re: Impeachment

New Jersey Democratic Congressman Jeff Van Drew, who had been one of the Democrats that voted against impeachment proceedings, announced today that he is not only leaving the Democrat party but is joining the Republican party. He has been firmly against moving forward with impeachment saying earlier...

Re: IG Horowitz reports/US Atty John Durham investigation

So far the only ones that have made any comments on the actual IG report have been Indy and Nodack. I am still reading it but I posted a long summary of it after watching the entire hearing. No one has commented on anything I posted. Did you not read what I posted or do you disagree with what I said...

Re: IG Horowitz reports/US Atty John Durham investigation

I will add that Trump ran on "Drain the Swamp". Like him or hate him he has tried to follow up on his campaign promises. He has? How so? That would take a whole thread in itself. I try to keep independent of party views and keep informed on both side's views and actions and am critical an...

How has Trump been trying to drain the swamp? This would be a laughable statement. If it weren't for a reasonable person being willing to say it.
Are you calling me a reasonable person? How dare you!! LOL

Re: IG Horowitz reports/US Atty John Durham investigation

Our political dysfunction is symmetric. One side has been especially bad/evil. The other side is not innocent though. Who one side or the other is depends on which side you associate with. The thing is both sides are right. The division is by design. We keep fighting among ourselves and the ones re...

Re: IG Horowitz reports/US Atty John Durham investigation

I am pretty sure most of the Democrats in Congress are on the take just as much as the Republicans. None of them are saints to me. Get numb or not to me calling out both sides. I will call them like I see them. I agree with you 100% my friend. I will add that Trump ran on "Drain the Swamp"...

Re: IG Horowitz reports/US Atty John Durham investigation

Well no partisan fireworks like the House hearings. I was actually very civil. There were no interruptions, shouting matches or discussions about procedures and Lindsey Graham who chaired the hearing even gave extra time and sessions to a couple of the Democrats. Of course he also quite often took t...

Re: IG Horowitz reports/US Atty John Durham investigation

Indy agreed with those statements. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. Between what little I have read of the report and what is being revealed in the hearing today this is an extremely damning report. Please, please take the time to read the report. I don't care what party affiliation you have...

IG Horowitz reports/US Atty John Durham investigation

Since this is a separate issue from the impeachment hearings and actions I thought I would start a new thread. Inspector General of the DOJ Michael Horowitz released his report into possible FISA abuse on Monday. He is now testifying before the Senate on the report. This is the press release: https:...

Re: Impeachment.

I watched MSNBC the first day. They showed the entire hearing from start to finish. Nothing was edited in or out. I saw all the Dems and Republicans grilling the witnesses. Yes, after the hearing both sides went to their best gotcha moments and showed them. There isn’t a shred of doubt in my mind t...

Re: Impeachment

Are you saying that violation of campaign finance laws, obstruction of justice, and violations of the Constitution's emoluments clause are not worth congress holding a president accountable to? Not at all. If they are true then absolutely. I'm saying that this President has been investigated more t...

You think I wish that the President of the United States of America bribed another country for personal gain by sacrificing Ukraine's fighting a war? That is the last thing I wish for as a US citizen. Not necessarily. What I do know is that there has been talk of impeaching President Trump since be...

Re: Impeachment

You don't let extortion slide for an entire term. That's what these impeachment rules are for and that's why they're being exercised. Once again agreed fully. And if they weren't trying to impeach him from day one before he had a chance to do anything wrong I could see spending the time to investig...
