Democrats BEST course of action...

I don't get this 'both sides do it' argument. When have Republicans pulled any ruse like this?

This is a Democrat phenomenon, with no Republican equivalent. Republicans got rid of their corrupt President. This has been a massive cover up for over 3 years.

'Both parties' don''t do it. Yes, partisans do rationalize bad behavior and overlook things on their side, but there is no comparable Republican cover up of this magnitude.
Republicans are trying to reelect their corrupt President.
 
I don't know many who think they don't try to interfere - the fallacy is that they're interfering to help Trump.

That's just false, without any basis other than Trump isn't beating war drums against Russia.

Russia and China both want to undermined confidence in our elections, and they've succeeded, to an extent. But it doesn't explain real election anomalies.
This is why it’s absolutely useless to discuss this sort of thing with you - you’re totally ignorant. Every investigation into Russian election interference concluded they were doing it in favor of Trump. That includes the Republican led Senate Committee that investigated it. It’s not in doubt.

WMDs in Iraq - not a Party cover up. All intelligence agencies thought Iraq had WMDs and it was only when an invations was imminent that some doubt krept in. The UN though he had WMDs. I don't think it was a cover up as much as an excuse to take Saddam out after 9/11.

1980s Reagan mental competence, Iran/Contra - Reagan wasn't incompetent and the CIA and his staff engineered Iran/Contra. It may have been a cover up, to some extent, but it was quickly exposed and dealt with. Nowhere comparable to the Democrat Party today.

Nixon Watergate coverup. Vietnam--Cambodia/Laos bombing campaign. - Watergate was not a cover up by Republicans and, in fact, Republicans called for Nixon to resign or be impeached. Vietnam-Cambodia was a Nixon cover up, but again, not one supported by the Republican Party.

The media does a much better job exposing any Republican incidents. The Party doesn't rally around people like George Soros like Democrats to Bob Menendez.
Your first three paragraphs are accurate. Together, they’d be one of your best posts in years. Last paragraph not so much.
 
Covid hurt Trump in 2020. His record as President was fine.
He embarrassed us as a nation. He botched the China import plan and lied about the wall. I could go on and on…and on and I am a guy that gives him credit for the things he did correctly.

But a person who believes that “I didn’t sleep/have sex with a porn star” is not a lie won’t understand.
 
There are now people who work for the Biden campaign anonymously saying to the press that he can't win and will have to drop out. That seems like a pretty noteworthy development -- and feels like something that could be a pivot point in all this.

I just can't envision him keeping this up through the convention -- even with the positive Ipsos poll numbers that came out today.

Damn, I shouldn't have made that bet!

Hold on, Joe! Hold on!

The only people he embarrassed were those like you who predicted his Presidency would be a failure. They looked like fools.

dbm's twitter twits last month:
Biden is a mere puppet for the elite in his party, he only thinks what they tell him to think, he's a willing slave to their every evil wish!

He’s probably the dumbest of your incredibly dumb go to Trumpster Twitter Twits but he does know his followers.
Incorrect, he follows and posts the main propagator of the Comet Pizza basement child sex ring conspiracy. While there are some here with large tinfoil hats, that weirdo has a triple ply tinfoil body suit.

George Clooney and golf matches, American politics is in bangin’ shape y’all.
I saw the Trump/Biden golf challenge two weeks ago in Chicago.

After waiting on them every shot for three holes they finally let us play through on four. They then became the problem of the foursome of older women behind us.

You on or off your meds today?

I don’t understand why you try to be witty. You fail miserably every time because you’re truly witless.

Ray Epps was one of you until you disgracefully turned on him and ran him into hiding. He was appropriately convicted because he was one of you engaged in criminal activity on J6.

Have they come for you yet? Should I make a call to my colleagues at the FBI?

I understand you are saying this in jest, but please get it through your head that tips from friends about someone they dislike is not how LEO’s or the FBI should go about their business.

That you are so comfortable joking about such abuse of government power is why every Conservative on the board is uncomfortable with you.

Lighten up. Obvious joke, except to a paranoid person. Also stop with the “every conservative” nonsense. I happen to be friends with several conservatives here.

The “conservatives” (and conservative is a stretch for most of them) that don’t like me or are “uncomfortable” are just the ones that take it personally that I’m a never Trump Republican. Just get over it.

My opinion of you is that you are for less government unless that government carries a gun for a living.

You’ll gladly opine on the waste of the Department of Education and EPA but the second someone mentions mission creep at the CIA, FBI or military your hackles go up reflexively.

It’s an unserious position.

No. My hackles go up when those agencies or the military is dishonestly maligned. I’m for efficiency and effectiveness, not pure size of any government organization. If we can make any organization better while reducing its size I’m good. The military can only be reduced if the National Security Strategy including military expectations/missions is changed. The military is sized and equipped to fulfill those missions. I’m good with doing that if it’s the right thing to do. We could maintain military size and still eventually balance the budget. Entitlement reform is key.

What about the criticisms of the security state that aren’t dishonest? Or do you believe those don’t exist?

Because I swear I’ve never seen you acknowledge one. You are a dishonest broker.

Haven't you poopooed the idea of retrenchment around the world, though?

The military is the 3rd largest expenditure behind SS and healthcare, I think. And that doesn't include all the ancillary costs of our missions/strategies/expectations. Not sure how we get our financial house in order without addressing it.

**I don't think this opinion or your stance is disqualifying as a conservative in any way. Just trying to follow your thought through.

I don’t understand your question. It doesn’t make sense. Makes your second paragraph indecipherable too. Except for you calling me dishonest, though that also doesn’t make much sense without you providing any examples.

I strive for honesty in every post.

The problem is the military is quite literally the only thing the constitution provides for of those three. Nowhere does it say the Federal government should secure retirement or provide the elderly with healthcare. That’s not in their purview but we attempt to do it any way. Disgraceful.

I don’t mind our military budget being 10x the next guy. I prefer it that way actually.

But there are major inefficiencies in weapons contracts that need to be addressed. The MIC oligopoly is robbing the American public blind.

We’re where we are and doing what we’re doing because that’s where and what our leadership wants us to be and to do. Without reducing or changing those requirements Congress can’t reduce the military’s size.

The Constitution requires an Army and Navy. But it doesn’t proscribe how much we have to spend on it, where or when we have to use it, etc.

Plant from where? I’ve been here and on the predecessor board for 25+ years. Think I’m playing the long game?

You do remain witless.

I find myself in the in between. I think the Libertrarian belief that the U.S. creates more problems with its military than it solves is foolish and self-centered.

I’ve also had about enough Ukraine. Draw a border line. Create a a DMZ and end this shit. Putin will win some territory. Life goes on.

It seems like we’re only still fighting this war because Biden wants to swing his big swingin dick around.

I've long said there needs to be a de-militarized eastern Ukraine, governed by Ukrainians, and a de-mlitarized Crimea, governed by the UN or some international entity, until legitimate elections can be held there.

Either way, there is no solution until the Russian military is withdrawn. I don't blame Biden for the continuing war - I blame him for being weak enough that Putin thought he could get away with it.
