Seems to me that you’ve been right down there in the mud with the rest of us. Arguing about the best course to take.

Yep, but done with it.
We fall prey to trying to persuade others to think like us, I am certainly not alone in that regard, nor even the most vociferous.
Ignore my main point if you like, which is that nobody that matters gives a rip what you or I think. All the back and forth amongst us is pointless if we dont agree and an echo chamber if we do.
On this subject,, out.

I'll simply say that I have zero loyalty to any candidate - they are campaigning for the right to work for me - and my personal loyalty to my party and political beliefs are not so pure that I will oppose doing the right thing even when it is being attempted by the wrong people.

That's a great statement. I would love to have it posted in every voting booth in the nation in November. Thanks

I don't think Biden has an opinion on this war. I put the blame for the strategy squarely at the feet of Jake Sullivan, Biden's National Security Advisor - the same man who masterminded the Afghanistan withdrawal. He is an election lawyer and election strategist who was never in the military and never held a diplomatic post - perfect preparation for his current critical position.

Secondly, one has to point the finger at the SECDEF. Lloyd Austin is a former 4-Star. Deference to civilian control is baked into his DNA. His reflex action is to salute rather than champion a militarily decisive course of action.

Still, one has to admire the sacrifices and tenacity of the Ukrainian people to reclaim the future of their country using whatever support they have received.

Yes, but Jake "The Snake" Sullivan is one of Brandon's minions. If Brandon could even remember who he is, he could remove him from his post unless he's doing exactly what Brandon wants him to do. But since Brandon is brain dead and the Marxists are pulling his strings, that won't happen. Either Lloyd Austin believes in what he's being ordered to do or does so only out of duty. If he doesn't believe in Brandon's incompetence, I would think retirement to the Bahama's would be the Honorable thing to do and he can take Milley with him. They can open a bar on the beach and share a bungalow together. LOL

I can tell you all one undeniable fact. Neither Putin, NATO or Biden gives a flying **** what anyone on this forum thinks about anything.
When we get all spun up here about an opinion that we might not agree with, who does that affec

Sure doesnt affect anything going on in Ukraine does it?

Somehow we got the wrongheaded impression that our opinions matter on global matters.

Someone mentioned an echo chamber, more like a circular firing squad and a big waste of time.

"more like a circular firing squad" LOL Well, it's 90 degrees here and I was contemplating mowing the lawn, but I can sit here on my laptop instead in the AC (finally got one after 21 years!) and waste everyone's time with my useless opinions. So, mowing or partaking in a circular firing squad? LOL

I understand the sentiment and you’re not wrong as it pertains to opinions expressed here having any measurable effect on Putin, Biden, Russia, Ukraine, etc.
However, there is something that should not be overlooked or minimized. I know I am am better informed and get to hear points of view that educate me on a number of matters that I wouldn’t normally get to hear in the detail or to the extent which they get thrashed out here. Regardless of who you are, there is a lot of value contained in these 1267 pages (so far!).
So to all who participate, no matter your position or point of view, thank you for taking the time and enduring the occasional frustration. I appreciate it and I am certain I am not alone.

So.......the Scumbag Georgia D.A, stated they want a trial date in March of 2024.

Whatever happened to the right of a fair & speedy trial?

Oh wait .....no such thing in a Banana Republic.

Too much animosity over this, I leave you guys with this.
I dont have one, I guess some of you must.View attachment 551668

The military has it's own swamp. It's called the Military industrial complex.

If McCarthy can grow a pair, that's the day that he needs to announce the filing of articles of impeachment against Commie Joe.

Well his attorneys are asking every trial to be held after the 2024 elections! Compared to that this is fairly speedy, lol.

Imagine that!

Well I like to think that my vote still counts, and so does yours. I appreciate the time to challenge our POV’s and hopefully become
Better educated in the process. The Lord knows, we could use a more educated and informed electorate. Why not start here?

Trumps attorneys know that won't happen.
This is nothing but election interference by the left. they want to drag it out until November of 2024.
If they started the trials next month, it could be over before the end of the year

Our votes count. Elections are fair and not stolen.
However we're living in a country where only %60-65 votes and that's a problem.
What this tells me is people believe nothing will change no matter who's the president.
Unfortunately I tend to agree. We need term limits and must get rid of the super pacs.
Otherwise we'll always end up with whoever party establishments want.
Left or right same circus different clowns.

Heard a blip on the radio today that stated Trump was going to hold a news conference in the near future about “I have all the evidence to clear me of all charges in Georgia”……. If you have it show it now, don’t be pulling a Schiff for brains, just show it. Schiff said many times “I’ve got the evidence…” but didn’t have squat. If you’ve got it show it.

And a fine job you're doing sir!

 

[Sideshow]

Just a slight change…..anyone hear the rumour that Trodo might be going to jump before he’s pushed?
Would not surprise me…..he’s got quite the lineup of class acts to follow eh
Ardern
and the red head thing from Scotland…….mind you she planned it well as she brought a camper to runaway in just before she jumped….with party funds

I'm not a realtor, but I can tell you'd be interested in the purchase of one of the bridges that connect Brooklyn to Manhattan or possibly some ocean front property in Utah.
