Political discussions about everything

My "Broken Promises" post seems to have hit a nerve with Forbes, He is posting tons of faux posts with similar titles. Sorry John.

I have been against Trump since the day he announced his intention to run. It was obvious to me the type of person he was. He is someone who I could never accept as my President. Before he started his run for the presidency I was a lifelong Republican. Right after the election I changed my affiliation to Independent.

Here are a few thoughts for John and Silly to pick on. Silly...what an appropriate moniker.

a. Trump ( and the Tea Party before him) have changed the GOP into something I can't recognize. The party stood for fiscal responsibility and the national debt was always too high to them. . Today, anything goes as long as the elite get their tax breaks.

b. THE ELITE! Our founding fathers were terrified that an elite class resembling the European aristocracy could emerge in this country. Taxes were placed on those that had the means to support the country and taxes on inheritance were meant to ensure that no family would gain enough money and power to become rulers of this country. I have thought that the idea of an inheritance tax was sound but the administration of it was flawed,.

c. The Constitution was always in-violent and any challenges to the Constitution were always to ensure that the Constitution as written by the founding fathers remained pure. Today,the challenges are for the purpose of bettering the few.

d. Our government was set up to be three separate but equal branches. today Congress has ceded much of its powers to the President. I feel that Mitch McConnell is attempting to make the Presidency into the total ruler of the country. this can only end badly in my opinion.

e. There is nothing in our Constitution setting the Number of Supreme Court Justices. In the past, it has been as high as ten and as low as five. It is Congress that sets the number of Justices. If the Democrats win the Senate and the House in 2020, I think that they will set the number of Justices at 11 to water down what McConnell has done to pack the Court. After that Chaos (with a capital C) will reign in the future.

I have to go to work. I will post more later as I have many thoughts about what is happening to this country. I hope that you can see that I will never follow any president blindly. To do so would be a slap in the face to all citizens and to my heirs.

Snake, you need to understand that we are all just kidding around on the Internet.

All of us here have opinions, and we all think they are correct.

As to presidents, I was a JFK sort of Democrat -- strong national defense, pro-America, cut taxes to catalyze stronger economic growth.

Later, both Dems and Repubs were taken over by globalists -- the open borders Soros crowd.

Trump was hated by both traditional RINO wimps like Mitt Romney, and Obama was so enraged at Trump that he and his crew of criminals (McCabe, Comey, Ohr, Strzok, Page, Priestap, etc) conspired to sabotage his presidency with the fake Mueller probe when all of them knew from the start there was zero evidence of collusion with Russia.

Modern Democrats hate America, and they want socialism and total control (as the lockdowns revealed).

This is your reality check.

Snake, you need to understand that jokers like johnforbes are just kidding around on the Internet.

All of us here have opinions, and the conservatives all think they are correct, whereas liberals think they are more likely correct but are open to be convinced otherwise when presented with facts (which no conservative ever offers in their argument.)

As to presidents, johnforbes was a JFK sort of Democrat -- strong national defense, pro-America, cut taxes to catalyze stronger economic growth. Now he has abandoned those ideal and doesn't give a fuck who runs things (even if his candidate systematically dismantles America) as long as he gets tax cuts without economic benefit to the wider economy along with his $200,000 absentee farm subsidy from the government while doing nothing for it.

Later, both Dems and Repubs were taken over by globalists -- the Koch brothers crowd. That's when johnforbes chose to jump on the gravy train and support Republican globalists over Democrat globalists because the Republican globalists promise him more money for doing nothing.

Trump was hated by both traditional RINOs like Mitt Romney, and Obama was so concerned with Trump's historic financial failures, incompetence, offensive moral behaviors, and personal aggrandizement that he and his party "conspired"(as all parties do) to elect their own candidate instead. Meanwhile, the Mueller probe unearthed all sorts of actual evidence of Trump's collusion with Russia.

Modern Republicans hate America, and they want to eliminate the 'social contract' aspects of our Constitution and take total control of the U.S. government by the richest 10% while letting the majority of the population languish without any hope of ever getting ahead.

This is your reality check.

The real question is, do YOU ever read what I post. You can never manage to refute anything I say.

Instead, lacking liberal brain power, you must constantly resort to your only available 'weapon'----your conservative shit-eating grin.

Actually, Mueller found zero evidence of any Russia collusion.

All those who said on TV there was some said the very opposite in private and under oath.

Mueller and Weissman knew that, but they kept their moronic probe going for two more years.

This wasted 25 million of taxpayer money and destroyed Mueller's reputation.

Now Trump has gone to the supreme court to block the House's request to obtain Mueller's grand jury materials.

According to Trump only criminals plead the 5th and hide evidence. If Trump has nothing to hide then why is he blocking the truth from coming out.

Johnnie's nonsensical claim goes up in a flaming blaze of glory.....again.

That's the insane part of johnny's idiotic claim, that "Mueller found zero evidence of any Russia collusion."

The reason we know this is a flat out lie is that johnfibs has never seen the evidence that Mueller found, just as no one else has because Trump won't let us see it. But johnfibs continues to say adamantly that there is no evidence, despite his widely recognized ignorance.

Mysteriously, Trump has forced us to sue him to find out what our $25 million paid for.
That just doesn't sound right, does it, johnny? We paid for it, it's ours. Why are you happily licking Trump's scrotum over this one?

I mean besides the fact that you really like licking scrota, of course.

No, we know it is true because the affidavits of the sworn material from Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Yates, and all the rest were disclosed.

Elkin doesn't understand how long litigation takes, so he is harping of an aspect of suits related to the long-over impeachment.

We do know that Mueller had no evidence of Russia collusion, and his deputy Weissman knew that even before the two year probe began.

But their goal was to hamstring Trump's presidency, and so they kept the charade going two years and only at the end admitted they had no evidence.

Would I do the same thing to a Democrat if I had the power? Hell no; it is sleazy, unethical, and dishonest, and that is what these corrupt Dems did because they hated Trump that much.
