I would never get there. I have too many skeletons to begin with, and I would like to think I am honest. That's not good on the resume. But it would sure be fun to be a wrench in the gears. Can you imagine telling someone like Mitch or Nancy to go piss up a rope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 On 11/29/2022 at 6:31 PM, 1984Echoes said: I am still 100%, absolutely, under the belief that the new House Dems coming in should whip their caucus and give a call to... Steve Scalise. Cut a deal ... Politico thinks it is Fred Upton who the Dems and centrist Republicans are settling on under this plan: https://www.politico.com/minutes/congress/12-2-2022/mccarthy-upton-speaker/ Three guesses on how TFG reacted: Politico this week reported on whispers among moderate Republicans and Democrats about joining together and nominating outgoing Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) as House Speaker should Republican hardliners sabotage McCarthy's bid. Even though Upton is retiring as a congressman and did not seek a new term in office, the Speaker of the House of Representatives does not have to be an actively serving representative. While it is currently not certain how serious the chatter about drafting Upton to lead the House of Representatives is, it was enough to trigger Trump into angrily denouncing the idea. "Rep. Fred Upton, a Pro-Impeachment RINO, would be a disaster....". No need to read the rest of his commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwball Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 And it gives the War Department more money than they were asking for. Imagine that!

romad1 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 There is some rumor or maybe an actual story that Lauren Boebert will be appointed to the Intelligence Committee. How in the actual f? How will she serve on this committee if she can't get a clearance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those being that Kevin Mc needs the Russian support . But i would not allow her any kind of clearance. It was bad enough that Devin Nunes had the clown patrol working for him.

gehringer_2 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I suppose by virtue of separation of powers, the House majority can put her on the committee without a clearance, which then sets up refusal by the Executive to tell the committee anything and off we go to the Supreme Court....

They are nothing but a tool in a giant money moving machine to make war toy companies rich (and their shareholders). We are now close to shelling out over $100 billion to a country to fund a proxy war that has an annual GDP of $155 billion, while Russia spends $65 billion on their military. We are not only insane, but bad at math. But the right people get rich so it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 we'll volunteer SB to go live in Russia for few months and see how far his freedom to screed gets him there. Here is a guy who as much as anyone here is always standing on his American refusal to duck and be quiet, telling 40 million it makes no difference to have to live every second of their lives with their heads down. SB wouldn't last 10 minutes in Moscow before someone would be coming to get him. I don't even disagree with SB when it comes to most of the recent *US* military adventures, but the Ukrainians are fighting for themselves, and that is all the difference in the world. These are not American boots trying to proxy our objectives onto anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are not American boots trying to proxy our objectives onto anyone else. Maybe Yemen would be better (probably gets bombed more - cha-ching). Seems more punitive best I can tell. Us anti-war people should feel the pain too. The more, the better. Damn you if you don't like bombs. Last I looked, no country that I know of invaded the continental United States. Also can't find a good reason why any of them would want to anyway. We have a global economy that is very dependent on supply chains - and if they break down - things get ugly very quickly. The global supply chain knows that. But keep fucking with the "forces of nature" as Ned Beatty said in the above money speech from "Network (1976)." I remember when the democrats were the anti-war party. We are spending billions on this proxy war (to make the rich richer) while more Americans find themselves living on the streets. WTF? Merry Christmas! ON EDIT: Yes, I think we are that far gone. Edited December 22, 2022 by Screwball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
