Armed man tries to breach security at FBI

Recall the Tea Party movement, then realize that republicans took the vast majority of state legislatures and then Gerrymandered their states district to make seats safe in the general election- the only way to lose an election is to have a candidate call you RINO and outflank you on the right in the primary- that’s why team elephant is now extreme in main body.
Indyhorn, pretty much agree.

Just want to add the icing on the cake. The icing being Donald Trump in the White House. This gave the movement a national and world leader who didn't play by the conventional rules, He led by not kowtowing to Congress and placed his administration above the bureaucracies which he referred to as the swamp. Trump instead demanded political loyalty to him from key bureaucrats. Trump called this giving power back to the people.

Think of this as having the Oval Office being a tower high above the swamp with the swamp cut off from a country run by state governments.

With Trump in the tower, the country's patriots finally saw their movement to restore American exceptionalism becoming a reality.

Seriously you’re a loon. He’s the epitome of the swamp. Swamp dwellers could learn from him. The swamp resides in Mar-a-Lago with stolen top secret documents. Traitor to his country and his oath to the constitution. Give him what he said all traitors deserve, the noose.

He was explaining this from the perspective of Trump followers and I think a lot of it might be right. Lighten up.

Missed the beginning of the thread so if I’m mistook his post my apologies. But that doesn’t detract from what I said. SteLing nuclear secrets is treasonous. Only purpose would b to monetize. His greed knows no bounds. He’ll tie himself in knots with his varying explanations as he’s already done.

SteLing? What is that? Sounds like Chinese food to me. You think Trump was down in his basement reading Oppenheimer's diary building a bomb using Melania's underwear? If there were any real secrets a president would have they were safer locked up there than Joe Biden having access to them, he can't even dress himself . Im sure whatever the codes are they havent changed since Eisenhower was in office .

Don't see Mar-a- Lago the same way you do.

See it as someone showing off his wealth in a gawdy fashion. Not my kind of rich guy.

My kind of rich guy is Warren Buffet who lives in the same modest home he lived in before he accumulated 20 to 30 times the wealth cobbled together by Trump.

Hoot is one of the board's best posters. Guy is a gem

My boss once met Warren Buffet in a line at a coffee shop. Said he was very humble and genuinely nice guy. My kind of wealthy as well. Giving his accumulated wealth to charity puts him way over the top in my book. If the 10 or 15 wealthiest Americans would commit their fortunes to helping the least among us we could solve many of this country’s problems and inequities. Oh but that’s just too much blue sky.

He is indeed very polite & humble when meeting. I haven’t gone now for many years but used to regularly attend the Berkshire shareholders meeting in Omaha, Warren & Charlie Munger used to occasionally attend the cocktail party at Borsheim’s. Seemed like a pretty righteous dude…

I’d say that anyone giving away $35 billion to charitable causes could absolutely b considered a righteous dude as well as simply a good human being.
 
Arguably no human alive has saved as many lives as Bill Gates has done, with 3rd world health initiatives on malaria, river blindness, improved health care to cut child mortality drastically, etc.

We are talking dozens of millions of kids who did not die, who would have died.

He started the Gates Foundation when he learned that 5 Million African kids a year died from diarrhea. Water purification systems and antibiotics changed all that. Stuff that is available even to the poor in the USA.

I understand. I’m not criticizing what he does. Just what he ignores or neglects.

He identified a huge disparity in health care and chose to help those MOST in need, in countries too poor to help their own people even if they wanted to. I don't think poor kids in St. Louis have any need for mosquito nets and antiparasitic drugs.

Yeah, it's getting bad on pro-Trump websites and some dark corners of the internet, similar in many respects to what was happening prior to January 6.

There's one person who could effectively defuse this but, of course, he's going to do the opposite. If he incited a riot in a bid to stay in power, all bets are off as to the lengths he'll go to stay out of jail.

Don’t remember your concern during the summer of love.

Gates having the humanitarian perspective of looking worldwide to see how many human beings he could help with his money versus a nationalistic approach illustrates a true humanitarian as opposed to someone seeking an ego trip such as being president.
