    NG In DC Being Used As...Garbage People

    I don’t agree with Trump sending the National Guard to D.C., but your statement, “We didn't sign them up so they could collect pay and be at home” struck me as funny because I know people who joined up for exactly that reason. Want to hear a hilarious story? In late August 2001, when I was...

    NG In DC Being Used As...Garbage People

    You think our leaders give a shit about that? They view our soldiers as political props or cannon fodder. I remember when I was a kid back in the 1990’s during the Clinton presidency, Gen. Colin Powell, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was hesitant to involve the U.S. military in the...

    Ironically, this happened because a DOGE guy got attacked. Mark

    NG In DC Being Used As...Garbage People

    Agreed. IMO, this National Guard deployment (and any future ones that may happen in other cities) is a huge waste of taxpayer money and resources. But I think you would agree with me that Democrats aren’t exactly the best messenger on this front. Mark

    trump cancels funding, about $5 billion, for California high speed rail

    That doesn't sound like something Biden would have done. Besides, he probably had no clue what was going on anyway. Mark

    Forget the 1A. Why should it be a crime to burn any symbol, as long as it is yours?

    I can't read minds, but my personal view on this is that Trump doesn't really care whether anyone burns a flag or not. I think he's just trying to get attention or divert attention. He knows he can throw outrageous things like this into the media ecosphere and people will eat it up. Mark

    Speaker Johnson says Trump deserves Nobel Peace Prize for DC police takeover

    What's pathetic is that the Black guy got the Nobel Peace Prize for simply being a Black guy. He certainly didn't do anything to earn it. Mark

    Nancy Mace Abandons Epstein Victims to Defend Trump

    I’m a Conservative who supports limited government, de-Centralization, and Constitutionalism, and I feel that today’s MAGA Republican Party is becoming more Centrlized and Authoritarian, much like the Rightwing parties in Europe. To be honest with you though, I don’t know why I ever voted...

    Trump says federal crime crackdown will target Chicago next

    I understand, but I just don’t like the idea of the president sending in the National Guard to fight ordinary crime, as bad as that crime might be. If he wants to send in law enforcement agencies like the FBI or DEA, fine. But I’m uneasy with the idea of sending in the military to do stuff like...

    Paul: Gay CDC official’s ‘lifestyle’ disqualified him from government

    Rand Paul is a jackass. I wouldn’t take anybody who voted to confirm RFK Jr. seriously on these issues. Mark

    Question for the right: what do you think of Roy Cohn?

    First off, to answer @Craig234 question, I think Roy Cohn was a piece of shit. Hey, you guys wanna hear some fun facts about Joe McCarthy, whom the Left always trashes? Liberal hero John F. Kennedy was a close friend of McCarthy’s and Liberal hero Robert F. Kennedy worked for McCarthy on the...

    A majority of Republicans think Trump should run for a 3rd term in 2028

    I’ve already said this before, but I don’t care about this because IF Trump violated the Constitution in the worst possible way and stayed in office past 1/20/29, he would go the way of JFK and get his head blown off. And perhaps that would dissuade any future would-be dictators. Personally, as...

    Trump says federal crime crackdown will target Chicago next

    IMO, Trump doesn’t have the authority to federalize the National Guard over this unless there’s some kind of deadly riot in Chicago like the riots of the 1960’s. Mark
