This is much more reasonable. Except hunter. Give him an unconditional pardon and end lawfare. Put that in the rear view. If he commits some other crime and ends up in the clink then whatever. Trump doesn’t need to keep tabs on this guys life.
I understand and appreciate what you're saying. But that is a part of the landscape now and to ignore it is to put one arm behind the elephant's back.

If there is no "punishment", then they will simply double down next time and the conversion to banana republic will be complete. I wonder if that is what Queen Barack meant by "fundamentally transform"?

Thank you for articulating all of this. Like I said, I am going glass half full approach this go-around. Obviously big thing for me will be economy, so if I have a few more nickels in my bank each month, will definitely consider the GOP again in the future.
You said a few pages back that your “two big things” were “schools & poverty”. Now the “big thing” for you is “the economy and having a few more nickels in your bank account each month”??? Which is it?

Its plausible that all 3 are important to you but you come across as very disingenuous & dishonest. Nobody believes that you are middle of the road politically or that your “aw shucks, I’m willing to give Trump a chance” schtick is genuine.

You asked the board earlier “what are you going to do about poverty stricken kids”? I answered that question & then asked you what you were doing personally to help poverty stricken kids and you didn’t reply. So I’ll ask again…

WTF are you doing personally to help poverty stricken kids?

It’s ok to answer “nothing” because we are already operating under that assumption.

I did respond. I responded to you and someone that lives in Louisville.

I work at a middle school and on Tuesdays and Thursdays help out in the math room get kids caught up on homework or help with learning targets. I also have a board games club that I do once a month.
 
BS. You're the one proving MY point, because you have ZERO room to see my point of view. You're just sugarcoating everything and you have no desire to see what's really going on.

You don't get it. There is no more room for compromise. You didn't even bother to read what I wrote. The country is no longer a place to live in peace BECAUSE of all the compromises. "Started down a bad road" - that's sugarcoating in the extreme. We haven't STARTED down a bad road. We are at the END OF THE ROAD.

Dude.

People can't afford to buy groceries or buy houses. Illegals are ALREADY murdering, raping, eating people's pets. Running amok in the streets. The compromise was in the 1960s when we started bringing them in a million at a time. People are afraid to come out of their houses NOW.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

I did read what you wrote. This latest sounds like you're on the verge of becoming unhinged. 'No room for compromise'? Really? You think you and your political compatriots have ALL the right answers to every single issue and every issue is either black or white? Then, in my opinion, you're as bad as the worst Left Winger who thinks EXACTLY the same way but just takes the opposite side of every issue. You and I most likely agree on a lot of issues but I'm not arrogant enough to assume I have all the right answers and there are no gray areas and there is no room for compromise. That's dangerous thinking. The Constitution itself is the product of a lot of compromise between very smart individuals.

I'm done.
 
Yeah no clue how accurate but these Ukraine lapel pin wearing criminals weren’t cucking for nothing that’s for sure.
Politicians are the worst human beings in the world. They don't bat an eye at their own citizens being killed. I'm supposed to believe they just have such a giant heart for Ukraine when they didn't even give a shit about people from North Carolina?

These people have no issue with our food being poison cause they take money.

These people have no issue with sickness cause they take money from Big Pharma.

These people have no issue with fentanyl and heroine coming into this country.

But they care about Ukraine for no reason other than they just have giant hearts.

Didn’t see your response. If true, then good for you & more importantly good for them.

Donating money to a good cause is great but donating time is much more effective.

Someone asked me about that in 2012. He asked why things were getting so heated and i responded that, for many issues, there is no more room for compromise. It either is or isn't at this point (either the border is secure, or it isn't ... either little Timmy is Tammy or he isn't). And when you push people like that, esp when these things worked for hundreds of years, expect pushback.

Ya think...

Never was issues UNTIL, the differences were found to be an opportunity to inject communism into America. Yeah, communism. Those who'd turn America into a communist nation and there are many, found they could start inject personal rights and freedoms into a wedge to where those "few" and they were few decided they'd "make" people accept them. (They were paid and funded to do just that. I can show you the money...) It was no longer enough to be able to do what you want to do, the communists used the stupidity of the few to "brain-wash" them into thinking there were many many like "them".

Now you have copycats who are not really trans, gay, or whatever but they like to test and see what they can actually get away with. Just a challenge to them. Those types quit being challenged at work for so many reasons. (The Welfare state now.) (Many closet people now have TOO much time on their hands..) For many of those band-wagon types it really is that simple. Those types need to just go to work.

Would anybody with half a brain be surprised if this is true? How else can you explain the huge net worth of many of those in Congress? And, look, it's not just Dems or Pubs, it's both. The Swamp is a nice term for DC, imo.

It is the correct term. I work there... Just swamp-dwellers...

No offense, but you kinda just proved my point. On most issues, I'm conservative but not on ALL issues and certainly not reactionary right on all issues. And that is the problem. There is no middle ground for many people anymore. You're either 100% in agreement with me or you're my enemy (depending on the individual's viewpoint that means you're a fascist or a RINO). That ensures that 50% of the American people will be the 'enemy' for the party/philosophy in power. That's a horrible way to govern. Yes, the Dems have been more guilty of 'my way or the highway' thinking than the Pubs in my opinion. But, there is a small (hopefully) percentage of Far Right thinkers that are just as dangerous as the Far Left. Governing for either extreme is bad for the country. Yes, we've started down a bad road with open borders, out of control spending, identity politics, normalizing mental illness and sexual perversion, etc. But 'the sky is falling unless we eradicate these apostates' is not any better, imo.

There is right and wrong and a little bit of gray, NOT a whole lot of gray and a little right or a little wrong. The latter is farcical! Anymore than that, Houston, we have a problem...

The FBI is nothing but a criminal gang. And they are redundant. The "country will implode?" LOL hyperbole much? Next you're gonna tell me Trump is a "threat to democrathy?!"

As far as tariffs, please tell me how the US Government got its revenue before 1913.

LOL you say you're not arrogant and don't think you have all the right answers, but you call me unhinged.

Hypocrite much? What if you're wrong about me? What makes you so sure you're right?

All you're doing is attacking me for thinking I'm right, instead of engaging in a discussion of ideas.

Go away. You're terrible at this and you're clearly not cut out for this thread.

The problem with compromise is that it leaves everyone dissatisfied. I think for us to get back to being able to coexist, both sides are going to have to relent on certain policies, but which ones? I'm just not sure if large groups can wholly get on board with this again, especially when we have politicians (on both sides) that promise the world.
You would think that a lot of the issues we raise would be common sense for either side, yet the left has become so jaded, they literally go out of their way to take or create an opposing stance to literally anything a Republican proposes. It’s absurd at this point.

The GOP is the best at compromising. The left just takes a little more and a little more freedom away each time the GOP compromises. I'm through compromising on my freedoms! And if someone thinks THAT is unhinged, they can go frak themselves.
