    Even when they disappoint, Republicans, even today, are the party, unfortunately, of, "same as the Democrats but a bit less so". If the Democrats are driving the USA off a cliff at 100 MPH, the Republicans are only doing 95 (which is why, in part, there was no red wave). You need that gargantuan state to collude with large corporate interests (or have Government own the means of production themselves) in order to create that Fascist/Communist totalitarian Hellscape that controls every last thought and action of individuals.

    Which ideology is wetting their pants not over the fear of being censored on Twitter, but that their ideological opponents will not be? Kinda says it all.

    In a race to rock bottom coming in 2nd place is nothing to brag about. I say this as an independent with no political loyalties. To make America great both the left and right need to be every bit as critical of themselves as they are of the other side.

    My stance on this is that there are plenty of people in government that are problems at all levels.

    Government itself, and those that worship it, are the problem.

    The modern left however is, frankly, insane. They're turning their back on the basic concepts themselves that made America what it is and literally push for totalitarianism and oppression.

    You don't stop to make the bed when the house is on fire.

    All a function what you choose to accept as truth. And believe, and with good reason that the lies, conspiracy theories, and out and out horse crap that the left puts out today is ninety percent of what wrong with this country. Disagreeing with leftist almost guarantees you to be correct most of the time in any sort rational milieu.

    Science that refuses to address scientific questions concerning the data and it's interpretations is not science, it's religious dogma.

    Accepting it from a foreign government, an adversarial one no less, actually is a crime. Donnie J wasn't charge with one because it was Mueller's determination Don's idiot offspring was not aware he was committing a crime. Surely by now, with this subject being very thoroughly reported, you must understand this.

    And the immediately above has to be the most irrational, uninformed and biased statement I've ever read. But then I expect nothing else from leftist. People who can't differentiate between indoctrination and education rarely act logically.

    No it isn't...lol. No one was charged, because no legal prohibition exists.

    Amazing how that lie has survived this long. That old saying rings true: a lie will make it around the world, before the truth can make it across town.

    You should know by now not to get in to an argument with me when facts are involved.

    https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/11/110.20

    Donald Trump Jr. and other Trump campaign officials involved in the June 2016 meeting with a Kremlin-linked lawyer were not charged with campaign finance violations in part because it would be difficult to prove the participants knew their conduct was unlawful, special counsel Robert Mueller's redacted report, released Thursday, said.

    The meeting, which took place at Trump Tower in New York City on June 9, 2016 was pitched to Trump Jr. as the opportunity for members of Trump's presidential campaign to receive damaging information about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton from Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

    It is illegal for campaigns to accept help from a foreign government or from foreign nationals.

    The exchange of information is literally protected by the 1st Amendment...lol

    The law doesn't say "help". It says "donations". The law prohibits foreigners from giving money, or anything that can be converted to cash to a U.S. political campaign.

    "Illegal to accept help"...At least be honest about it...lol

    The reality is that every single one of my posts where I have made an OP statement has been supported by a corresponding article with data, facts, and truths. All you supply is words and opinion.

    Then again, you believe your opinions are right and that data, facts, and truths are not important. In simple words, there is absolutely nothing anyone can say that will ever make a difference. Your opinions are set in concrete.

    Enjoy them while you can. Just understand that when Mother Nature (data, facts and truths) come calling at your door, your opinions will not help you in any way.

    There is a law against it. Gosh, you folks just outright deny facts at will any time they don't fit your misguided beliefs.

    The irony of your post in this thread is glaring.

    I am not in control of your right to select whatever bullshit sources you wish to support your lame views, nor would I wish to be. However one should expect of any logical person the ability to dismiss circular logic, like that in your op, out of hand.

    I am always willing to be "proven" wrong with data, facts and truths. Prove your opinion using those, and I will change my opinion. Nonetheless, you never use data, facts, and truths to support your opinions and therefore you do not prove your opinion. You accuse me of not using logic and accuse me of having circular logic but offer nothing to support your words. You expect me to believe what you say simply because you believe it?

    If that is the case, then why don't you do the same (believe others simply because they believe it)?

    ~ Republicans certainly do have a grasp of the truth. They are just too lazy and comfortable to do anything about it.

    1. No. Trump did not say white supremacists were fine people. What he said was taken out of context.

    2. No. Only a male baby that is born with every functional female body parts can get pregnant via male sperm and female eggs fertilization in utero.
    My question concerning a man getting pregnant. Does such a man actually exist? Is there any scientific proof of that actually or factually happening?

    3. No. Is there any actual or factual scientific proof for any of those climate predictions coming to pass over the last 60 years?
    I would like to invoke “The Show Me” rule of the skeptic concerning those climate predictions that have been promoted over the years.
