[Tim Steelersfan]

What are the odds the Jan 6 committee will even look into this?

This may well be the best description of this dog and pony show.

Democrats have a history of paying people off that were in one way or another , working for or reporting to, a republican. Remember Amorosa? She took money to report negatively on Trump, all of which was false. When will an " investigative reporter" look into this? Her bank records sure could reveal a lot.

Look, you wanna call his office and call him names, great. Don't threaten the man's family. There's no call for that. People need to get outside more and turn of the poison that is the American news media.

Agree, but he's not a man, he's a lying little C unt.

An argument is lost when someone resorts to profanity and name calling, and the threats on anyone's family should never be condoned.

But I do understand the frustration. For the last 50 years or so the left has increasingly pushed their agenda while the right sat on their collective *** and watched it happen.
We're our own worst enemy for not standing up and saying, enough! I can only hope that the insanity has reached its tipping point, because for the left, it's never going to stop until the majority wakes up, stops ignoring what they're doing to the country and does something about it.

Not really a lost argument. Just anger coming out in its nastiest verbal form. You're correct about people being quiet for far too long.

The last few years of draconian covid measures in some states I'm certain pushed some folks into white hot anger.

Which they probably want just to say oh look at how unhinged they are. I'm not sure what the future is with the left. If they don't stop with the ridiculous agenda they keep pushing and move way back towards center. I see a nasty divorce from irreconcilable differences.


As much as I'd love to turn the TV off for good , I'd rather keep up with what they're doing and I damn sure hope they get countered with reason and common sense in a civil manner however long that can last.

A lot of fresh faces I hope to see in congress soon. I hope they stay the course and be the voice of the people who put them in office.

But To threaten his mother? His Kids? his Wife? There is no sober reason in taking that path.

I didn't listen to it but what are the chances that paid actors called in to make one side look bad. That's a known practice that's skyrocketed recently.

There is no question in my mind that there a plethora of conservatives in this country that are not above that type of behavior. Kinzinger is after their boy, Trump. Of course they are gonna call and leave ****** messages. As I said before, you wanna call and cuss the guy out, you absolutely should. What you shouldn't be doing is threatening his family. Everything is not some grand conspiracy against the pristine, God-fearing conservatives in this country. Some things are just what they appear.

They also get unjustly ****** over more than their fair share too.

Cry me a river. The leftists actually show up at peoples houses and destroy their property and engage in physical intimidation. But I think the traitorous RINO Shitweasel deserves it for throwing in with communists that stole the last election.

What do you actually think will be accomplished with said shift in power? What have Republicans EVER done to give you hope for ANY change?

80s were a recovery from a brutal 70s under Reagan & Bush. So much so that relatively minor (especially in hindsight) Savings & Loan “crisis” AND Ross Perot are the only reasons Clinton’s aren’t another footnote in history.

Then the Republicans took both the House & Senate for the first time in 50 years in 1994, forcing Slick Willy to be more moderate and the country was extremely prosperous for rest of the decade.

George W. was a disaster in so many ways, just gotta own up to it.

But Trump provided some of the most prosperous years - until Dems thought it was more important to destroy the country than meet him halfway and shove the plandemic down our throats

These Republicans aren’t worth the powder it would take to blow them to Hell. They PROVED how worthless they were when given the votes to end Obamacare, and turned their backs on the people who sent them to do it.

You fail to see that Republicans are just Democrat lite. Even your examples show they did nothing except slightly slow the rate of spending. The next time they actually cut spending, it will be the FIRST time.

What exactly are “the people“ going to accomplish? They vote to send Republicans to DC to make changes. Once they get to DC they are corrupted in less than 6 months, and do nothing except talk, talk, and talk. The only way things will ever change is when they start getting planted. Their replacements will start toeing the line then, or chance suffering the same fate.

So nothing but slow the rate of spending?

Not remotely close to reality. I simplified the impact for the purposes of the post. But it sounds like you still need to learn how things work and spending is not in and of itself not a bad thing. What you’re spending for can be.

Since Obama became President, there’s been no major bi-partisan legislation of any kind. It got contentious, but both sides worked together before.

For 2 years the Republicans held Congress & Presidency, and in the other times, it’s been the worst and most obvious attempt to become a 1-party system, which is bad for everyone involved

Millennial response:
OK Boomer.


Gen X (me) response:
Your comments illustrate the issue.....generally agreeable folks on the one side say nothing because they do not want to be offensive, or condone "name calling" or other boorish behavior. Unfortunately, most that need to hear from the silent majority are only sensitized to profane words, images, songs, etc.

Have at look a how Jordan Peterson's tone is changing; why?

IMO, he clearly sees the need to become less polite in order that dumbasses who might hear him have a chance at understanding.

In modern liberal politics, where naming, shaming and branding means everything, the only way to interrupt their wokeness is to use the same techniques they understand. That is why they detest Trump....he used their own methods, mostly, to communicate to both sides.

I never understood the Boomer thing. I do not at all take offense to that. Should I be? I think it's kinda pathetic that millennials think that is a put down.

Short version: You can't be reasonable with unreasonable people.
The reason the left is winning is because they are willing to do whatever they need to do to win. Whereas the right refuses to even fight because of "Muh Principals". Trump actually fought back and was teaching the Republicans to find their spines and do the same and that's why the leftists hated him so much. Understand this, If the leftists secure total power they will start killing people who sided with the right. It happens every time leftists takeover a country where they can't be voted out which is why you have to shoot your way out of socialism. You have two choices, find your nutsack and shut the democrats down now or find your rifles and do it later provided they leftists don't put you against the wall first.

My kids say it to me in jest, but they sure do giggle a lot.

But I am not a damn boomer. I am Generation X, which I have come to agree with.

Boomers have ****** the next several generations, because they presided over the demise of the US, and still refuse to ******* retire already.

I was born in 1967. I guess I am an X too. And so do my kids. They think it's great, but it doesn't bother me one bit. They are under the age of 26, which means they can still be on my insurance. Due to that, their thoughts or opinions do not matter one bit. They are empty barrels. I tell them that all the time. They get madder at me for some reason than I do over boomer. Haha.

When you borrow money to spend CONTINUOUSLY, it is not fiscally responsible, no matter what you spend it on. If the spending sprees were on infrastructure, maybe I would agree with you, but it isn’t. It is being wasted hand over fist, and has been forever.
I am going to be a huge social program, and guaranteed basic income supporter real quick, as I will be retiring by the end of the year. All these young kids can have their way, as they will be the ones footing the bills. Sometimes you just have to experience pain to learn from it. I think they need to experience extreme soul crushing pain, just so they can learn how stupid they really are.
we are headed back into the mountains, so the effect on us will be substantially less then those living in the cities.
