That’s not really their biggest concern.

The problem is the political establishment of either side does not have control. They don’t like that.

They much prefer a Biden win, or will settle with Warren. They do not want Trump and they also don’t want Bernie.

The framers failed to take into account such a hyper-partisan environment in most things. They vastly underestimated the danger and power of political parties.

But I think the last paragraph there hit the nail on the head. Since the 17th amendment was passed, the Senate became as partisan as the House. So it lost a lot of its political…[Read more]

Something that should be made clear here…. If you are being investigated for a crime, you are under no obligation to go out of your way to help the police solve it. If you refuse to cooperate or talk to police, that is NOT obstruction of justice. Obviously you can’t lie or destroy evidence or defy court orders. But you don’t have to help the…[Read more]

Well they don’t want to endorse a non-elitist because then the political establishment can’t maintain their power. And they don’t want to endorse a white man due to identity politics.

So that pretty much eliminates the entire field except for these two losers who will do what they are told.

The National Popular Vote Compact is likely unconstitutional. States cannot form pacts without the approval of congress. This is to prevent a group of states from gaining a monopoly in something and then colluding against other states. If you want to abolish the electoral college, you are going to need a Constitutional amendment. And that’s what…[Read more]

Considering that the leaders of the feminist movement have been screwing themselves and shooting themselves in the foot since the 90s, it’s not a surprise at all. For the most part, the movement has stalled out. And many leaders wrongly assume that just by electing a female president (any female with a “D” will do), it will be the spark that gets…[Read more]

Trump is not going to be removed by the Senate. No way, no how. It’s a waste of time.

This is stupid to sacrifice campaign time for this circus.

The DNC (and media) playbook is old. Attacks based on identity politics and political correctness doesn’t work anymore.

Maybe in the past someone could say something politically incorrect (or even an accusation of it) and it will kill their campaign. Not anymore.

Agree 1000%

Trump didn’t do any of this. It was in place for decades.

Trump is just exposing it to some who have had their heads in the sand for a long time.

Hollywood’s brand of diversity is equal to tokenism. And that doesn’t end racism. It perpetuates it.

Plus Hollywood is sort of in their own little bubble. Many of these celebs have never had a real job. Most are hypocrites. They live in these big ass houses using a massive carbon footprint and then talk about how we all have to conserve to save…[Read more]

Why do we do anything? Why did Magellan want to sail around the world? Why are we exploring the bottoms of our oceans? Why did we climb Mount Everest? Why did Columbus sail across the Atlantic? Why did Amelia Earhart fly across it?

We are explorers. That’s why. It is who we are. It’s for human advancement, curiosity, and achievement. Landing a…[Read more]

The issue is a process called “subsidence.” This can happen from either natural processes of the Earth or human activity. Usually, it’s both as human activity makes these natural processes quicker or worse.

The entire city of New Orleans and parts of San Francisco is also sinking.

But just to note that this isn’t specifically due to climate…[Read more]

It could have just been an accident. Some idiot could have simply misidentified the plane. Or a missile malfunctioned or the plane went in it’s path. Etc.. There doesn’t need to be motive.

A lot of these missiles are older technology. Iran bought most of this stuff in the clearance aisle. So these weapons are not the best.

Russia-backed rebels did shoot down a Malaysian plane over Ukraine back in 2014. The Soviet Union also shot down a Korean airliner in the 80s. So the Russians do have a history it.

Doubtful a country ever shoots down an airliner on purpose. So asking “why would Iran do this” is irrelevant. It almost certainly due to incompetence.

It’s meaningless. Republican Senate won’t vote for this and even if they do, Trump will veto.

Very few countries can read the black boxes on Boeing and Airbus planes. The US and France are the only ones I think. It’s not as simple as plugging into a computer. There is complex data on them.

And yes they can tell if they were tampered with.

But that’s not the issue. We don’t fight wars to win them, in the traditional sense. We do not conquer people.

What we do is cause enough chaos and destruction to collapse the government. Then we make a deal with whoever gains power to do our bidding and expand our influence. In return, they get our support, access to our resources, money, wea…[Read more]

It’s not just Trump. This goes beyond Donald Trump.

The GOP does not want peace with Iran…and one reason is because our biggest allies in the region are Iran’s enemies. The Saudis hate the Iranians and blame them for the mess in Yemen. The Kuwaitis hate them. And most importantly the Israelis hate Iran. Meanwhile the Iranians are in bed with…[Read more]

I dont think you are going to find many people suggesting this dude was innocent. He was designated a terrorist by Obama in 2011. And the Qud force he lead is directly linked to terror attacks.

Official statement from the US Defense Department:

“At the direction of the President, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

General Soleimani was actively…[Read more]
