POLITICAL THREAD

[gamecockcat]

What makes you think I don't want Patel & Bondi to investigate & root them out, for these supposed kickback or anything else? I believe some $ went missing in Ukraine, but doubt those people listed received it. I truly don't get why so many here immediately believe anything, absolutely anything, about those pols they despise. It's a Palovian response all the time. The last is what I'm sarcastic about.

I don't expect Bondi & Patel to find anything on this particular subject. And the screamers of fraud & kickbacks here won't believe it/be satisfied. That's because that's what they are. For them, government will always be corrupt no matter who is running it.

To me, the most reasonable explanation for the wealth in Congress is inside access to deals (Pelosi leads that list for me.), whether stock market or otherwise. Others marry into money like McConnell & Kerry. Are outrageous book deals kickback? Don't you think Vance made money off book sales increases after being nominated? What do you do about that?

I misinterpreted your original post. My bad.

Agree with most of what you posted above. Someone writes a book and the public buys it, no care. Someone votes appropriations and part of that comes back to them - throw their a$$ in jail for a long time. Pelosi and others have been inside trading for decades and no one seems to GAF. Makes me see red every time I think about it. Non-politicians get indicted and go to jail for insider trading, not politicians. I call BS on that. I hope new FBI director assigns his most persistent bulldogs to find and prosecute all those pols who have games the system and broken the law.

Well Trump’s DEA pick is about as bad as Kash Patel is good.

My god you're dumb. He's saying wait for Jan 21st when Trump is inaugurated.

Sheesh you think everything's about you, son.

You & he are both DA's. Inauguration Day is Jan. 20. Now I'm supposed to figure out you're both that dumb much less what's he talking about? GD.

So why don't you tell your butt-boy Mitch to get off his China ass and do something about it? He's only been in the Senate for forty years.

Does Mitch control the Senate, much less Congress?

Well the Labor Sec pick is pretty sh!tty too. But rest are either good or I don't know enough about to say.

The US accounts for 25% of the entire world’s GDP. Has there ever been a country this dominant?

Yes. The United States was damn near TWICE as dominant in 1960 when it accounted for 40% of the entire world’s GDP.

Then the federal government effed everything up with over regulation & aggressive corporate taxes.

So what’s your point?

Ah, so when something positive happens Mitch gets the credit. When the GOP fails Mitch is somehow just another nobody.

Got it.

Do I need to pull your recent quotes bragging about how Mitch gets credit for everything?

Was Mitch ever Majority Leader? In 2018?

Trump has terrible blind spots. No to the DEA Nazi.

He gets credit or blame when he has control of the outcome. You can look up when he was majority leader.

I'd be surprised, at this point, if Mitch can even control his bowels...

The new administration has great respect for your long years of teaching kids that 2+2=4 but the actual result isn't that important. Also teaching the children to color inside the lines gets you bonus points. Your weird obsession with pregnant 12yos will put you on the pedo watchlist.

Pedos should be castrated and jailed for life or executed for murder.
My concern is safety and security for children.
That includes not forcing state mandated pregnancy and parenthood on them against their family's will.

Wouldn't it make more sense for Mitch to step down from his seat before the end of his term, to force Andy to appoint a Republican successor, thereby giving that person a leg up in the election?
