Rich Davis, hopefully not the father of anyone, has......

Posted By Rod Kaufman

If Rich did have a son in politics at this time, here's how he'd probably behave: "A Georgia state lawmaker was removed from the state's House chambers on Tuesday over his refusal to adhere to COVID-19 guidelines that require testing for lawmakers and staff."
"After being asked to leave by Speaker David Ralston (R), and declining to do so, state Rep. David Clark (R) was escorted out of the chamber by a state trooper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports."

It took a state trooper to get the prick out of there...

I see I missed a lot since I was here

If the GOP does not purge the freak show that are the Trumpsters, I will eventually not be an Independent supporting Democrats at the federal level for office, but I will register as a Democrat. A shitload of GOP donors and companies feel the same way. They had better get their shit together and dump the trump.
Unfortunately, it's not just Trump, it's the right wing media driving his message of fake news about anything he and they don't agree with. In the confines of this small forum, one need only to read the rants of Richard to know the virulence of their constant stream of lies and misinformation. The latter is principally why we had 74 million votes for Trump in the election. It's also why his followers will show up with their confederate and american flags on doorsteps of Republican senators who will then promptly forget about the insurrection on January 6th. After all, according to Maria Bartiromo of Fox news, those participating in the insurrection were democrats dressed as Trump supporters...

That Leftist Biden Confronts Putin, The Nerve!

Fact: " the Obama administration did provide were seen as critical to Ukraine’s military":
"By March 2015, the US had committed more than $120 million in security assistance for Ukraine and had pledged an additional $75 million worth of equipment including UAVs, counter-mortar radars, night vision devices and medical supplies, according to the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
"That assistance also included some 230 armored Humvee vehicles."
"Part of the $250 million assistance package that the Trump administration announced (then froze and later unfroze) included many of the same items that were provided under Obama, including medical equipment, night vision gear and counter-artillery radar."

So Rich, stop spreading the lies of Trump and the right wing swamp...

Here is a view of Tanks rolling into Crimea, that Biden and Obama allowed to happen under the Obama administration:

Too bad you didn't start meds. Then you're behavior could have been explained by the fact that you refused to take them. As it is, you're just batshit crazy!

That Leftist Biden Confronts Putin, The Nerve!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Biden's press secretary Jen Psaki said he entered the phone call with the intention of discussing the New START nuclear treaty, which the Biden administration hopes to extend; Russian aggression in Ukraine; the Solarwinds cyber hack, the extent of which is still being determined; reports Russia placed bounties on American troops serving in Afghanistan; Moscow's interference in US presidential elections; and the poisoning of Alexei Navalny."
"His intention was also to make clear that the United States will act firmly in defense of our national interests in response to malign actions by Russia,"
If only Trump was in office, we surely wouldn't have had that confrontational call, now would we?...

Marjorie Taylor Greene indicated support for executing prominent Democrats in 2018 and 2019

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Greene liked a comment that said "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who, in her eyes, were part of the "deep state" working against Trump."

Are you ready for this rabbit hole?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Another cut and paste without a link, but considering the poster, it's to be expected...
"Meanwhile, we get an exciting show-trial: Donald Trump’s impeachment in the Senate. Not a bright idea. Mr. Trump would get to defend himself, of course. What if his attorneys produce solid evidence (i.e., proof) that the incursion into the capitol building was actually launched by Antifa / BLM cadres? Could happen. What if the Democratic Party gave them some aid-and-comfort in organizing the event? Wondering what is on Nancy Pelosi’s purloined laptops?
"President Joe B may not even be in office a month from now. Justice Amy Coney Barrett will rule shortly on the lawsuit against the state of Wisconsin for ignoring constitutional requirements in changing their voting rules."
"Unlike so many other cases tossed out on procedural grounds, there’s a pretty good chance this case will stand, and the outcome could end up nullifying last November’s national election, cancelling Joe Biden."
If that's not off the deep end, then what is?...
PS: The  majority of Republicans in the senate today have already declared they will not support a conviction of Donald Trump without even hearing the evidence. According to RAND PAUL and his sheepsters in the senate, it is unconstitutional to impeach a president who is out of office. According to the statement of legal scholars from the conservative federalist society, it is: "Former President Donald Trump can be convicted in an impeachment trial for his role in inciting the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6 even though he is no longer in office, a bipartisan group of constitutional law scholars wrote in a letter Thursday."
“We differ from one another in our politics, and we also differ from one another on issues of constitutional interpretation,” wrote the signatories, which include the co-founder and other members of the conservative Federalist Society legal group. “But despite our differences, our carefully considered views of the law lead all of us to agree that the Constitution permits the impeachment, conviction, and disqualification of former officers, including presidents.”
