If you actually weaned yourself off the USA propaganda news you would be caring a whole lot less about Trump and your fascination with right wing USSC judges and worried a lot more about what the combined threat of China and Russia are trying to do to us.....

Not playing anything down.... The fact is the MSM is ignoring what China and Russia are partnering up to do and well into the process of doing. Trump is a minor issue, we will be lucky if we even have an election in 2024 lol

As for a national security threat....we are facing the greatest threat this country has ever had right now and it doesnt have a damn thing to do with Trump.

Looks like your buddy Rod took care of the links.....

Although I didnt look at them I would bet they dont say just how dire the threat really is......none of the MSM is.

Ahh so those links have nothing to do with what I was talking about then.....no surprise there.

China and Russia have a whole different tact now, I guess those links are old news.....

They are well into the process of a joint effort to devalue the US dollar.....ie bringing about the devaluation of the dollar as the global reserve currency. If they are successful Trump will be the last thing on anyone's mind. The threat is real and ongoing....

Meanwhile the feds keep printing money and spending it like there is no tomorrow, devaluing the dollar.....there is a tipping point and we keep getting closer and closer.

You been hiding under a rock for the last 3 years? You really think a dollar goes as far as it did 3 years ago? Not noticed the inflation? Dont believe there are consequences to printing more money so you can spend more? Seriously?

Greg: "You been hiding under a rock for the last 3 years? You really think a dollar goes as far as it did 3 years ago? Not noticed the inflation? Dont believe there are consequences to printing more money so you can spend more? Seriously?"  i.e. the buying power of the  US dollar now compared to its buying power 3 years ago...the US dollar compared to itself over time. 

Both statements are true.

Dave

That is a valid point David..... I am less however concerned with the global economy than I am with the local one so to speak. Our financial policies do not HAVE to contribute to our own demise. Printing more money in order to spend more is just plain stupid beyond belief and the consequences of it are being felt by everyone. (and not just locally given the US dollar's special status)

I believe the more accurate statement would be "most of the 1850 boxes were his Senatorial archives" which as you point out are not the issue. Its the others from his time as VP and P that are a problem. Assuming you believe Trump's are a problem lol

William Barr On The Trump Indictment

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Given how obvious Barr's hate for Trump is after being fired by him as well as how obviously politically motivated the whole shebang is you got it right....most on the right dont care, even some on the left have spoken up and pointed out the political persecution needs to stop.

And, unlike Trump, Biden has fully cooperated in the investigation rather than obstructing it. Not to mention the sheer volume of the materials eventually recovered from Trump compared to the pittance of that in question from either Pence or Biden.

You really that delusional?..... You quoted what I said and then responded as if I didnt say it. LOL
