    You back from your early bird special already? Here is the difference between democrats and the clown show that has become the Republican Party. We don't give a damn. If he is guilty, try him , convict him, put him in jail. You'd rather suck off your orange God no matter how guilty he is.

    This is the starkest divide among the current left and right.

    The left still has an at least minimally viable immune system to cleanse itself of bad actors.

    The right has zero antibodies for corruption. The level of malice and incompetence that has to manifest for the right to even do the most basic housekeeping amongst its ranks is practically atomic.

    WTF dude. If someone lives in New York and wants to comment, I welcome that. Not everything has to be linked to a source you cherish.

    And at least @Kemahkeith isn't among the tweet sharting gang. I don't agree with him on everything, but he's even tempered and most times reasonable.

    Did my wife hack your account.

    I appreciate in some way or another, most who post here.
    some for point of view.
    Some for information.
    Honestly, some for the ridiculousness of posts.
    Whether I agree or disagree with anyone on this board. I do respect their right to say it.
    Until it becomes personal.

    I think although many on this board disagree with each other. We can all agree that we want a better life for ourselves and our families and all of those who choose to be a part of this great but imperfect country.
    There are many different perceptions of how we get there and that is a microcosm of this board.

    All can feel free to disagree, but why make it personal with someone you have never met.
    Thats all, it's not that hard

    No I didn't think we all agree here on this message board that people want better lives for everyone when people knowingly spam misinformation and blood libel about minority groups like immigrants. Like there is a certain point of unhinged rhetoric that is not reasonable. There is a level of rhetoric where "agree to disagree" ain't it. I don't think people who come in talking about fears of being canceled because of "wokeism" are here sincerely caring about "bettering lives".


    And I don't have to respect your concern trolling over the fear of being canceled because you want to ask a random college aged girl as a person who manages catering and food services for a college about their personal gender identity. I don't have to respect your inability to understand I'm not belittling your profession. I'm belittling your profession in relation to why the **** would you even ask a college aged girl about their gender ideology. It's not my fault you are very insecure about your profession to immediately jump to the conclusion I'm not valuing the importance of your work. Your work has nothing to do with probing college students about gender ideology. You are trying too hard to ask for respect. Earn it. Don't treat every criticism of yourself as a affront to your livelihood.

    It is weird you fear being canceled about asking girls about their gender ideology given you aren't a gender studies professor. Why would you ask college aged people this question?


    You don't want to make a political point personal? Don't involve your personal anecdotes that involve your career to back up your political talking points.

    If I involve my personal experiences to back up my talking points and someone wants to label me a crayon eater because I referenced my previous work experience to back up a political point, I'm going to only blame myself for interjecting my personal life into the political talking point.

    Not replying looks less pathetic than fake cordiality. Or do you want to express how you are a better more accomplished human because you don't have a 52,000 post count? You forgot to add that insult in like you spammed 20 times before.

    I notice that many Republicans will make arguments like “what do I care if they did something offensive or corrupt when the other side wants open borders etc..”. For a party that long argued they character matters they’ve fully adopted and ends justify the means mentality. This is what allows grifters into the party including at the very top.

    Intentional, or an absolutely amazing typo?

    intentional.

    I guess sharting is not a good analogy -- same outcome, but less intentional.

    I’ve noticed the grifters are multiplying. They can smell the easy money. Grifters are attracted to MAGA like flies on ****.

    Could Adams go to prison?



    The wire fraud count alone carries a maximum sentence of 20 years, while both counts of soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals each carry a maximum sentence of five years.

    The bribery charge carries a maximum charge of 10 years in prison.

    The remaining charge, "conspiracy to commit wire fraud, federal program bribery, and to receive campaign contributions by foreign nationals" carries with it a maximum sentence of five years.​
