  • Cris Christie is on his apology tour begging for civility. What a douche bag. Does he remember how he conducted himself as governor? He’s now the voice of reason? Making excuses for Team Trump Treason? What a puke and if you buy what he’s selling? Thanks for dragging the country further down the rat hole.
    The same as Joe Walsh and thinking he can win a presidency..
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....
  • I want to talk Glen Beck.

    I used to watch him on FOX and thought he was entertaining.  I fell in love with him the day he dressed up as George Washington.  I lost interest when he started these crazy connect the dots conspiracy theories.  

    Well he is still doing these conspiracy theories and has a timeline set up about Biden and the Ukraine investigation.  

    My real question is how can I fact check his dates without going down some rabbit hole?  

    The political right won't except SNOPES as a valid answer for fact checking anymore so besides doing crazy google searches where else is everyone gathering info?

    The dates don't matter one iota.  Here are the facts, feel free to check them.  

    1. The Ukrainian prosecutor Vicktor Shokin had refused to investigate the gas company where Biden son was a consultant or board member.  
    2. it was official US policy and EU policy that this prosecutor should be removed for not investigating corruption.  Biden was the point person for that removal.  
    3. The new prosecutor, installed based on pressure from US and EU was Lutsenko.  He was prosecutor until very recently and he did the investigation and found no violation of Ukrainian laws.  

    This is all bullcrap and a giant red herring.  The facts of what happened show that Biden was representing official US policy in this process.  That's the key point.  https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/hunter-biden-did-not-violate-anything-former-ukrainian-prosecutor-says-n1059136

    A former Ukrainian prosecutor who investigated a gas company tied to Hunter Biden said Thursday that there was no evidence the former vice president's son engaged in illegal activity.

    "From the perspective of Ukrainian legislation, he did not violate anything,” Yuriy Lutsenko told The Washington Post.

    Lutsenko, who served as Ukraine's prosecutor general from May 2016 until last month, closed the investigation into the gas company Burisma and its oligarch owner in 2017, The New York Times has reported. Earlier this year, Lutsenko met with President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and discussed Burisma, Lutsenko's spokeswoman told Bloomberg. Then in March, according to the Times, Lutsenko reopened an investigation into the company, though his spokeswoman has disputed that.

    The meetings with Giuliani were referred to in a bombshell whistleblower complaint unsealed Thursday that alleged that Trump had pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate the Bidens.

    In May, Lutsenko told Bloomberg News that his office had found no evidence of wrongdoing against Hunter Biden or his father, Joe Biden, who'd helped to oust Lutsenko's predecessor.

    That prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, had been accused of failing to act in numerous corruption cases, including the investigation into Burisma. In addition to the United States government, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund have demanded that Shokin be replaced.

    On Thursday, Lutsenko said he did not know of any Trump administration officials going to Ukraine to investigate the claims against the Bidens.

    “No American groups came to Ukraine for an investigation,” he told the Post.

    Lutsenko added that whatever wrongdoing there might have been at Burisma took place before Hunter Biden joined the company.

    “Hunter Biden cannot be responsible for violations of the management of Burisma that took place two years before his arrival,” Lutsenko told the Post.

    All you need to know is “put up or shut up.” Remember all of the controversies around Hillary from 30 years ago to today? Chants of lock her up still get chanted. If Biden or his son had done anything wrong, CYA Barr and the repub senate investigative committees would be all over it. Instead, Ghouliani is sent to the talk shows to gin up conspiracy theories. All of which have been debunked. They really should stop giving these factless bullshit artists air time to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories.

    There are plenty of reputable news outlets and by reading basically the same set of facts, you get an informed opinion.

    Dont go down the rabbit hole.

    Depends on what you meant by dead.  The Party of Trump is still Coke to the Dems’ RC Cola.  Its dominance should remain, no small thanks to the inept Dems.

    But that old Eisenhower party?  Yeah, that’s done for the foreseeable future.  I don’t really know where the 12 percent of those who are unhappy with the Party of Trump go.

    No that’s when it got infected ;)

    It then started a rapid decline the moment Mitt lost to Obama and the party doubled down on the extreme right and other things in an effort to get power. 

    Then the nomination of trump ended the GOP. It’ll be interesting what happens with the party over the next 20 years...
