Here is a list of Republican senators who voted against providing aid:

• Rand Paul 
• Josh Hawley
• Mike Braun
• Marsha Blackburn
• John Boozman
• Mike Crapo
• Bill Hagerty 
• Mike Lee 
• Cynthia Lummis
• Roger Marshall

That's more than 20% of Republican senators. Your claim is clearly wrong.

Please name said Republicans supporting Putin instead of Ukraine. 

They all voted to give Billions to Ukraine. 

Here's a list of 70 House Republicans, which is more than 30% of the total number of Republican reps, who voted to cut off aid to Ukraine:

Do you really want to start measuring dicks between the economics of Florida and California?

Hmm. When I researched economies a few seconds ago, the sources said the same thing -- California has the biggest economy in the U.S.

Here's one sample:

"California is by far the biggest state economy in the U.S. at $2.9 trillion in real GDP—and when comparing its nominal value ($3.6 trillion) with national GDPs worldwide, the Golden State's GDP would rank 5th overall, just below Germany and Japan." -- visualcapitalist.com

Has he been identified as a MAGA? Or is this something you and your liberal bullshit want to spew.

 

I just don't see anyplace saying he was a MAGA

According to the New York Post, which is a conservative newspaper and website, Robertson "described himself in his social media posts as a “MAGA TRUMPER.” (direct cut-and-paste from the website. I did not add capital letters.)

There’s those pesky facts that Ass2Mouth claims are opinions. 

The only problem with those "facts" is that they come from the Washington Examiner, which is a far-right outlet. The owner of the site is billionaire Philip Anschutz, a conservative Christian who despises anyone that is not a Republican. According to Media Bias, a non-partisan organization, "editorially, the Washington Examiner is 100% right[-wing]. It is virtually impossible to find a single editorial that offers balance." 

I don't trust sources that lean extremely hard to the left or to the right.

Over 2/3rds of voters said that had they known hunters laptop and its contents were genuine it would have impacted their vote.

What is the source for this information? Who conducted the survey? 

I'm only asking because it's the first time I've seen someone present that stat.

It's interesting that both sides are claiming victory after Archer's interview.

One side says Archer directly linked Biden to some shady dealings, while a committee member from the other side -- one who stayed for the whole hearing -- claims Archer made it clear that Biden never discussed business during the twenty phone calls and that no bribe from Burisma ever occurred.

I'm looking forward to reading the transcripts to see for myself what was said.

Everyone might want to read the article again, said the guy was armed with a "wooden pallet" when he charged police..

For accuracy's sake, he was armed with a 9mm with hollow-point bullets and an extra mag. He also was wearing metal-plated body armor, and he had a gas mask.

*FWIW, I have an extra mag for my S & W 40. The primary mag has 165-grain rounds for target shooting. The extra one has hollow points. I tell you that so that you don't try to falsely accuse me of being an anti-gun crusader because I simply reported the truth about the Capitol stormer.

Ford sells way more economy shitboxes then Bugatti and Mclaren sell. It's still a piece of shit. Cat have never cared about sales, even when they did have 1/3 of the market. 

. . . But hey, sales numbers.

Sometimes a little logic goes a long way. If Bugattis, McLarens, and Ford economy shitboxes all cost the same, do you think Ford would still sell way more? 

Cats, Doos, and Pols all cost about the same across the various engine classes. The fact is, people who are spending $15,000 - $20,000 have a choice among the three brands, and they are picking Ski-Doos by a WIDE margin. If Cats cost $300,000, and Doos and Pols cost $15,000 - $20,000, then your example would make sense.  Since the three brands cost about the same, you can't use the Ford-Bugatti-McLaren example as an excuse. It doesn't work.

New story from a military whistleblower:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/military-whistleblower-public-claims-us-secret-ufo-retrieval-program-terrestrial-arms-race

It's the same story, but I've provided two different links in order to avoid any appearance of political bias.

Various news sources are releasing photos of the Texas shooter. He has two giant Nazi tattoos on his body -- one on his arm and one on his chest. Some of the stuff he posted on neo-Nazi websites is being released as well. He hated women and minorities, he worshipped Hitler, and he proudly wore a "Right Wing Death Squad" patch. 

A couple of you can continue to deny reality by clinging to the "fake news" excuse you always mention when you don't like the truth, or you could venture away from your single news source and look at a few others. As for me, if a Dem does something evil, I don't cry "fake news!" By the same token, if a Republican does something evil, I don't cry "fake news" either. I value the truth over political affiliation.

racer's early comment in this thread: "They are afraid of how stupid Biden will look even against other democrats. LOL "

racer's comment when provided with evidence that Trump said he does not want to debate other Republicans: "One candidate deciding not to debate vs. a whole party telling others they will have no debates. Do you see the difference?"

Weird. The only difference I see is you trying desperately to spin your original comment because you cannot admit that Trump is planning to do the same thing that you claim Biden is going to do. Own it. Man up. Admit you are wrong instead of being a flaming hypocrite.

I suspect you will resort to calling me a liberal in your reply, but you will be wrong if you do. Have at it, though.

Based on some current discoveries, it's time to update this thread. 

Surgeon General Joseph Lapado doctored the results of the infamous Covid-19 study to match DeSantis' agenda, not the actual findings of the study.

Flame away. 

The new issue of SnowTech is out. Those of you who keep claiming the Catalyst 600 will be the king of the class and that it will keep up with other brands' 800s should probably skip the next part of my post. 

After a SnowTech reviewer mentions putting tons of miles on the Doo 600R and the Pol 650, he says: "The Catalyst is a 600. It does not feel like a 650 or 700. It is fast . . . but it is just a 600." (In the same issue, the long-term testing crew said, "Calling the Polaris 650 a '650' does not seem fair as it truly delivers performance more like what we would expect from a 700-class engine.")

Before you attack SnowTech, just remember all the praise you were heaping on it earlier in this thread.

Have you even seen the new video?  or are you just regurgitating media talking points again.

I've seen the new video, but prior to yesterday, I saw a bunch of videos that feature Capitol police getting pummeled by rioters. Many of the videos were filmed by the rioters themselves. Am I supposed to ignore the violent videos because Carlson and company handpicked a few short clips from over 40,000 hours of tape? FWIW, I'm not trying to start a debate. I am genuinely interested in finding out why some of you want me to ignore what I actually saw in previous videos.

Maybe the shift in population will mean that red states finally stop depending on blue states' economic contributions to function.

I know that Hobbs has won the election, but I still have a question. How many of Lake's 406,000 Twitter followers are actually from Arizona? How many are followers from other states who latched onto her because Trump promoted her? I don't have Twitter. Is there a way to see the breakdown?

Im a remote worker and most hate liberals  and Democrats that i talk with

Just out of curiosity, what party do the "remote people" you talk with belong to? I find that we tend to hang around people with similar views, and that frequently makes us think everyone else agrees with us.

I find it strange that some people will deny facts and logic in their unending quest to defend Trump at all costs, even when the evidence is clear. Why do some of you invariably take his word over the words of respected military personnel who worked for him, and over the words of his former cabinet members? Dozens of lifelong die-hard Republicans have revealed damning information about Trump, yet the same few guys on here always say, "No. They are all lying. Trump is telling the truth. You just have TDS." Did dozens and dozens of high-ranking Republican officials get together and make up lies? 

When Trump says stuff like, "I know more than my generals do," his followers actually believe him and defend him. When construction workers said, "He never paid us," Trump's defenders said, "They are all lying." There are countless stories like that, but the defenders' responses never change.  It's ironic they call others "sheep." 

I don't get it. I have never been afraid to admit the officials I voted for and respect have made mistakes. Reagan is considered to be one of the great politicians of the modern era. I was impressed by much of what he accomplished -- especially during his first term -- but I never was gullible enough to think everything he did was perfect. I also never took offense and felt the need to protect him when someone said something unflattering (but true) about him. Just once, I'd like to hear someone say, "Yes, Trump did do that . . . but I'm still glad I voted for him," instead of "Even though the whole country heard him say it, he didn't really say it."

Did Trump ever show his income? I know he promised he would release his tax returns on the first day he was elected, but as far as I know, he never released his income numbers during the four years he was in office. Maybe you know something the rest of us don't?

I'm not a fan of Hilary in the least, but Shilling's love affair with collecting Nazi memorabilia makes him a piece of shit, in my opinion. Normal people would want to collect memorabilia from the United States heroes of World War II, not the Nazis. American soldiers lost their lives, but Shilling is infatuated with the gear and uniforms of the Nazis who killed them. I have zero respect for him.
