We decided to drop some of the requirements for respecting elected officials since so few of them up there deserve any respect at all. It was a charade from the get go anyway. We do still try to respect each other though, whether we really do or not. It makes the board easier to moderate and we're fairly lazy about it these days.

When the President is calling his own party members "Human scum" who are we to blow against the wind?

Trump was the first to bring up murdering people with no consequences, way back in 2016. We used to refrain from using the terms "pussygrabber" or "shithole" as well... So much for civil discourse.

That was taken from the Forum Rules. Are you going to enforce the rules?

If they do, most of your posts are going in the waste basket, you know.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

John Bolton is in talks to testify in the impeachment inquiry

John Bolton to speak to Congressional committee in a closed-door session. Bolton is no "deep state" slouch - he's a conservative's Conservative.

The Fox News coverage of John Bolton testifying will be priceless. smile

Federal Judge Orders Un-Redacted Mueller Report and Grand Jury Evidence Be Given to House Judiciary

The judge ordered the Justice Department to turn over all redacted portions of the Mueller report, grand jury material and exhibits and transcripts to the House Judiciary Committee by Oct. 30. smile

It's no coincidence that Trump's July 25th call to the Ukraine came one day after Mueller testified in front of Congress and Trump claiming that Mueller "exonerated" him.

There was no exoneration. Mueller outlined ten instances where Trump obstructed justice. Mueller even testified that if there DoJ Memo stating that a sitting president could not be indicted, Mueller would have indicted Trump.

Hmm

Many of the very same players in Mueller's report, show up in the Ukraine scandal. Trump has always played dirty. Now Trump's chickens are coming home to roost. laugh

After all, if the President cannot be prosecuted, and can escape for life by a pardon, then clearly the thing to do is for the next Dem POTUS to exterminate the entire Republican House and Senate, get a pardon and walk free.
He did not address Sen. McConnell with respect and suggesting that all Republican members of the Senate be murdered is extremely disrespectful of elected officials.

Ahhh, scuse me.
I addressed Mitch McConnell as "Mitch McConnell".
The RULES state that "respect" consists of using their proper names.
Senator Mitch McConnell being addressed as "Mitch McConnell" is kosher.

Adding "corrupt old" TO "Mitch McConnell" is not and never was a violation of ANY rule, otherwise it would be against the rules to accuse an elected official of corruption, yes?

As to the fever dream suggestion of mowing down the GOP Senate, all I did was use President Trump's attorney's logic and draw it out to its logical conclusion. Take it up with President Trump's personal attorney. After all, at some point the exact same argument might just be used by another attorney in court to argue as to WHY such logic is seriously flawed.

It IS seriously flawed BECAUSE if Trump's attorney is correct, then the scary scenario I described would be REALITY.
It would be the LAW. President Obama COULD HAVE done exactly that.

If anyone has violated anything, it's William Consovoy, Trump's "other personal attorney".
All I did was use his words and go to the wall with his logic.
