Here's how things sit today... not that any of it matters...

I think you are right about the "not that any of it matters" part as when November gets here the October surprise will have been sprung and the ballot box stuffing will be in full force. They needed to poll the stuffed ballot boxes to gauge their opinion.

And when 40% approve of Brandon and 25% say we are on the right track you know we are doomed. Texas needs to bus more illegals to the battleground States.

With all the shit coming out recently, and proving that the past 'items' are true, I believe we are about to see this entire administration implode on itself...which is not good for the country, but needs to happen.

Such a shame. I would guess IMO, that probably at least 75% of all politicians, are corrupt. To what depth, who knows.

Adding this: I am all for supporting our Allies....BUT MY GOD! This much money? Think of what it could do for our economy (OUR DEFICIT), for our border, for our schools, law enforcement, first responders...on and on and on. It HAS TO STOP!!

The package includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza and nearly $5 billion for the Indo-Pacific.

I don't know that I agree with Matt Walsh: “Foreign aid, by definition, is taxation without representation.”

Maybe because I believe we just happen to have shitty representation that we sent to DC. We are fucking ourselves.

More BS exposed for what it is:

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A conservative group has told a Georgia judge that it doesn't have evidence to support its claims of illegal ballot stuffing during the the 2020 general election and a runoff two months later.
Texas-based True the Vote filed complaints with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in 2021, including one in which it said it had obtained “a detailed account of coordinated efforts to collect and deposit ballots in drop boxes across metro Atlanta” during the November 2020 election and a January 2021 runoff.
A Fulton County Superior Court judge in Atlanta signed an order last year requiring True the Vote to provide evidence it had collected, including the names of people who were sources of information, to state elections officials who were frustrated by the group's refusal to share evidence with investigators.

In their written response, attorneys for True the Vote said the group had no names or other documentary evidence to share.
“Once again, True the Vote has proven itself untrustworthy and unable to provide a shred of evidence for a single one of their fairy-tale allegations," Raffensperger spokesman Mike Hassinger said Wednesday. "Like all the lies about Georgia’s 2020 election, their fabricated claims of ballot harvesting have been repeatedly debunked.”
True the Vote’s assertions were relied upon heavily for “2000 Mules,” a widely debunked film by conservative pundit and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza. A State Election Board investigation found that surveillance camera footage that the film claimed showed ballot stuffing actually showed people submitting ballots for themselves and family members who lived with them, which is allowed under Georgia law.
The election board subpoenaed True the Vote to provide evidence that would assist it in investigating the group's ballot trafficking allegations.
True the Vote's complaint said its investigators "spoke with several individuals regarding personal knowledge, methods, and organizations involved in ballot trafficking in Georgia.” It said one person, referred to in the complaint only as John Doe, “admitted to personally participating and provided specific information about the ballot trafficking process.”
Frustrated by the group's refusal to share evidence, Georgia officials took it to court last year. A judge ordered True the Vote to turn over names and contact information for anyone who had provided information, as well as any recordings, transcripts, witness statements or other documents supporting its allegations.
The group came up empty-handed despite having “made every additional reasonable effort to locate responsive items,” its attorneys David Oles and Michael Wynne wrote in a Dec. 11 legal filing first reported Wednesday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
True the Vote's founder and president, Catherine Engelbrecht, didn't immediately respond to an Associated Press email seeking comment Wednesday. She and another member of the group were briefly jailed in 2022 for contempt for not complying with a court order to provide information in a defamation lawsuit. The suit accused True the Vote of falsely claiming that an election software provider stored the personal information of U.S. election workers on an unsecured server in China.
Prior to the State Election Board's investigation, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation looked into True the Vote's assertion that it was able to use surveillance video and geospatial mobile device information to support its allegations. In a September 2021 letter, Vic Reynolds, who was then the GBI's director, said the evidence produced did not amount to proof of ballot harvesting.
State elections officials opened their own investigation after receiving True the Vote's complaint two months later. When pressed to provide names of sources and other documentation, the group last year tried to withdraw its complaint. One of its attorneys wrote that a complete response would require True the Vote to identify people to whom it had promised confidentiality.
The State Election Board refused to shelve the complaint and went to court to force True the Vote to turn over information.
In addition to names, the judge ordered True the Vote to provide copies of any confidentiality agreements it had with sources.
The group's attorneys replied: “TTV has no such documents in its possession, custody, or control.”

After listening to Tuckers interview with Putin, I am thinking moving to Russia and becoming a citizen is pretty intriguing.
I hear ya', but you have to wonder what the reality is vs. the image. I grew up in Chicago and still hear from friends who visit there that it's a really nice city. I'm shocked and cringe when I hear this. They see things like Michigan Av., Navy Pier, a few parks, and the incredible museums. They don't see what's "behind the curtain", what I know well: Dirty, stressful, and politically corrupt. What did Tucker see? My impressions are from the 50s and 60s, when the murder rate was only about 1 per day and there was relative order under the iron fist of mayor Richard J. Daley. I'm pretty sure it's worse now.

On the flip side, I think if the current trajectories continue, there will someday be more freedom in Russia than in USA. My perception is that USA (and Europe) is heading downhill at warp speed while Russia is staying relative flat.

I hear remarks about George Santos being a democrat plant or maybe a rino. I know the guy had a lot of issues but I've heard things about his voting record being conservative, such as this article in NY Post. The democrats will keep a guy like Bob Menendez but the republicans jump at the chance to get rid of Santos? Are the republicans trying to show their "moral superiority"? Maybe I haven't paid enough attention, you guys are probably more informed about this than I am.

come on people...open your doors...open your pocketbook more than you already have.
Yeah, since we've opened the border and are paying millions to put up illegals in motels in several states at taxpayer's expense but allow 36,000 veterans to remain homeless, let's send 95 billion dollars more down a rat hole.......but don't whine, bitch or moan, says Joe. :mad:
