    It’s the same administration that was there to get the country back on course after Trump cur-plunked it! And now it will be a tough road again now that the 6 conservative Supreme Court justices have handed the arsonist the matches. Its amazing to watch the MAGA supporters who believe in the myth of America, who make it part of their identity to gloriously fight for freedom or fantasize about fighting off the tyrannical government are on the side of tyranny this time. If a democrat did what the republicans are now doing, these people would indeed engage in violence against the state, but since their guy is doing it they’re cheering it on….its isn’t over yet the silent majority that put 7 million more votes on Bidens tally see and know what’s at stake!

     Joe is running out of friends, plus they need to get their stories straight on all their crimes theyve committed against this country.  Sure there is no evidence now of any crimes, just sit back and wait.

      I can only imagine the number of books that will be coming out in the next couple years documenting this fiasco.

    Yes it was great...   Terror attacks, endless war, market crash, recession.  The good old days between the Clinton prosperity and Obama recovery.  It really amazes me that some of you can function on a daily basis

    @BWS77

     Is that a Bob Costas picture you have there?   Did you miss his press release from February when he said Biden needs to step down?  

    "But sane Democrats have to offer a compelling alternative. Biden, for all he has accomplished, and for all his basic decency, is not a compelling figure any longer."

    anywho, pre 2008 was a great time in America if you set your hatred aside and think back to when you were younger.  Unless you want to totally Demagogue

    Demagogues exploit a fundamental weakness in democracy: because ultimate power is held by the people, it is possible for the people to give that power to someone who appeals to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the population.

     

    On the supreme court ruling, it is easily read as 3-fold.  So, this ruling for dummies...we don't all practice law and this is a gambling forum sleep2

    1. Say the president has off duty oral, and not CPR like in Bidens case but a Bj in Clintons case.... no immunity

    2. When a V.P. is asked to authenticate the election results.... that's presumptive immunity, maybe prosecution

    3. Pressure the DOJ to investigate about a Russia hoax.... immunity, no prosecution...duties of a sitting president

    what is presumptive immunity? 

    Does it pose any dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the executive branch 

    What is amazing is this ruling hasn't quite sunken in yet on the progressive left, this applies to a wide group of powerful people past and present...and future

     Is that a Bob Costas picture you have there?   Did you miss his press release from February when he said Biden needs to step down?  

    "But sane Democrats have to offer a compelling alternative. Biden, for all he has accomplished, and for all his basic decency, is not a compelling figure any longer."

    anywho, pre 2008 was a great time in America if you set your hatred aside and think back to when you were younger.  Unless you want to totally Demagogue

    Demagogues exploit a fundamental weakness in democracy: because ultimate power is held by the people, it is possible for the people to give that power to someone who appeals to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the population.

     

    On the supreme court ruling, it is easily read as 3-fold.  So, this ruling for dummies...we don't all practice law and this is a gambling forum sleep2

    1. Say the president has off duty oral, and not CPR like in Bidens case but a Bj in Clintons case.... no immunity

    2. When a V.P. is asked to authenticate the election results.... that's presumptive immunity, maybe prosecution

    3. Pressure the DOJ to investigate about a Russia hoax.... immunity, no prosecution...duties of a sitting president

    what is presumptive immunity? 

    Does it pose any dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the executive branch 

    What is amazing is this ruling hasn't quite sunken in yet on the progressive left, this applies to a wide group of powerful people past and present...and future

    Concerns about Biden's age aren't coming from doctors.  After medical checkups, doctors found him still physically fit for duty in office.  Besides, Biden cabinet and policies are superior to Trump's.  Bottom line is that the dangers of Trump far outweigh any concerns about Biden age.

    @BWS77

     my bad its Brent Musburger.  I should've known thisan_timeout  this just in from 1968...

    Musburger didn’t see a demonstration. He saw a target.

    “One gets a little tired of having the United States run down by athletes who are enjoying themselves at the expense of their country,” he wrote. Musburger then infamously called Smith and Carlos “a pair of black-skinned stormtroopers.”

    The above quote has been disseminated in books and articles for years but Musburger’s full column is a difficult find. With an assist from Professor Jules Boykoff and an old-school tool called microfilm, I found it, and if anything, it’s even uglier than the above quotes suggest. The headline is “Bizarre Protest By Smith, Carlos Tarnishes Medals.” Despite seeing what they did as “bizarre,” Musburger doesn’t once address why Smith and Carlos did what they did or quote them directly. He does however find time to mock them repeatedly. He describes Smith and Carlos as “juvenile”, “ignoble,” and—this actually is bizarre—“unimaginative.” Musburger calls Tommie Smith “the militant black.” In describing a scene of Carlos trying to defend their actions, Musburger writes, “Perhaps it’s time 20-year-old athletes quit passing themselves off as social philosophers.”

    And then there are those words that still singe the eyes: “black-skinned stormtroopers.” You almost don’t believe it until you read it.

    As for the actual stormtrooper-sympathizer, Musburger refers to Brundage as a kindly old grandfather and with great affection and addresses him as “Avery”. No mention of course that many of the athletes called him “Slavery Avery.”

    It's mindboggling how the same top three Liberals that constantly bump threads here just circle jerk each other, but at the same time they have someone else's balls in their mouths

     

    maybe that's how the game of twister was invented?

    What Democrats and “media elites” are currently doing, which is calling on Biden to step down, is committing an “insurrection,” Venture capitalist and co-host of the “All In” tech podcast, David Sacks, told Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk during a June appearance on Kirk’s podcast.

     

    “What we’re seeing here is a full-scale insurrection by media elites and other powers that be in the Democratic Party to subvert the democratic process,” Sacks said. “After all, we had 50 state primary elections in which voters gave Joe Biden all the necessary votes, all the necessary delegates to be the Democratic nominee for President in 2024. You’re seeing now a major effort to prevent the certification of that result. It’s playing out in broad daylight in the press. So, I don’t know what you could call this except an insurrection.”

    “What democracy really means to them is permanent rule by the Democratic Party, just like communism used to mean permanent rule by the Communist Party. They’re perfectly willing to disenfranchise their voters if it means staying in power.” Sacks added.
