US Politics Thread

Starting to think this fella isn’t ok

Not suprised. This guy has been heading in the direction of bonkers for a wile now. How long before Lizzard people get a mention?

Oops.

Also there's a "major" supreme court decision expected shortly. I'm not saying Rowe v Wade but I'm sure a political judgement like that would push the committee down the news agenda.

Amazing that the Judiciary was conceived as an apolitical entity, and yet it's never been more political than it is today.

Clarence Thomas is well overdue being sanctioned for his refusal to recuse himself from deliberating on anything to do with Jan 6 after his wife was pushing the stolen election agenda heavily and trying to get electors to submit 'alternative' slates to the Electoral College in the weeks leading up to the attack on the Capitol building.

The crazy thing about Clarence Thomas is not that he was the only justice who voted against the January 6 comittee getting the information that outed Ginny Thomas.

It's that he knew he would be the only dissenting vote, and would lose, and yet he still voted to try and cover it up, implicating himself.

It's just a brazen display of arrogance that he knows nothing will happen to him for breaking every ethical code.

Oh. Can you explain specifically how it’s wrong?

Our contention was on whether Trump should have been impeached on the basis of his phone call with Ukraine. I didn't think so. You did.

But you then went further and made a multitude of claims that came down to how horrible of a person Trump was. To which I pointed out, that those too weren't legitimate basis for impeachment.

Thinking Trump is an unscrupulous person isn't news to anyone. It's just not a basis for impeachment. That was always the contention.

You. Voted. For. Jorgensen. That is the topic at hand. Not impeachment. You knew by not giving Biden your vote, Trump would be more likely to win. Even if you were confident he wouldn’t, you couldn’t have been sure. And you did it anyway. You misjudged the threat he posed that so many of us saw. Or you ignored it. Or you saw it, but were too afraid to pull the lever for Biden for reasons I can only speculate about. It’s one of the three. I just want to know which one.

Republicans in Philadelphia are attempting to impeach DA Larry Krasner.


Krasner is a progressive (I'm a centrist), but having grown to know his politics through the documentary Philly DA, I like what he's doing in office.

It's shameful there's both a shortage of baby formula and female sanitary Products in a so called "developed" country.

 

[SWP's back]

Good conservative values




They don’t believe word of the shite they spout about family, church and god.

Most Americans agree.

Marjorie Taylor Greene blames the nationwide shortage of tampons on machines being placed in some men's toilets for transgenders. Another hare brained comment from the woman who claimed California wild fires were caused by Jewish space lasers and the Parkland school shooting was a hoax carried out by crisis actors.

Doesn't surprise me.

Really it's a cartel of corporations not producing enough.

I saw a CNN report about other manufacturers who aren't allowed to keep up with the currents demands because of laws they've created to keep their monopolies.

USA - The ultimate capitalist experiment.

Some of liar Loudermilk's family of tourists were taking photos and videos of staircases, hallways and security points things "not typically of interest to tourists". Two of them made or filmed threats against members of Congress on the 6th. At that time Congress tours had been suspended because of Covid.

They were taking pictures of trains and a statue according to the honourable republican!
