Hate to piss on your parade, but a committee that failed to interview most of the victims clears him of nothing. That would be like going to the furniture store and when you get home, you told your wife the store was out of milk. I’m not saying he is guilty, but to say he is free of any guilt without interviewing relevant witnesses is absurd.

I’m pretty sure this is the same committee that had “the goods” on Biden for impeachment, yet he was never impeached.

Nope - not a liberal. Just being objective.

Thanks for the insight, Jim.

A disaster - I’m just not sure for who.

If inflation comes down along with prices, both will claim credit.

If inflation remains elevated and prices remain high, then who do you blame? I would suspect Trump would get blamed, but who knows.

Why do we need a border wall at this point? Policy works just fine and you save tons of money.

I know a lot of highly intelligent minorities who would have no issue with an aptitude test. Conversely I know a bunch of whites who couldn’t pass one if their lives depended on it. Has nothing to do with race or political affiliation and has everything to do with a basic understanding of the principles this country was founded on and living up to those principles.

You started at aptitude and have ended up at intelligence which are not the same thing. I’ll let you google the difference.

The problem is where do you draw the line. I’m not attacking you here but let’s hypothetically say you fall under the line. Are you ok losing your vote, or are you just concerned about penalizing others that in your eyes aren’t worthy? See the slippery slope here?

It’s the same issue I stated in my prior post. You are trying to anticipate bad decision makers before they have made a bad decision, at least in your eyes. Being stupid isn’t a crime, but a lot of stupid people commit crimes.

There is no such standard for citizenship (unless you are trying to become a citizen), so why do you think one should be applied to voting?

There will also be a problem administering ~175M tests. Yeah - let’s create more work for inefficient governments. The other subtlety here is we know the test won’t be free, so we are going to penalize low income earners with a cost they can’t afford? Doesn’t seem very democratic to me.

are a success as far as inflation and job creation are concerned do the democrats take credit for it? Or should he let it tank and blame the democrats for it?

Let me get this right - you are entertaining shitting on the entire country to win an election. As Yoda would say, “Einstein you are not”

I don’t think people realize how much politics is like ncaa football. People on both sides are quick to judge the other side, but dismiss the same/similar conduct/problem when their party does the same shite.

In football, they created a rule that even if the head coach isn’t directly responsible for a violation, they can still be charged because ultimately, the head coach is responsible for the people he brings into the organization, yet in politics, these politicians gets a free pass for firing someone they were responsible for hiring. People seem to overlook that key point. Whether you like or hate wiles, this mistake lasted for two years, so whose fault is it really? Seems like it is an easy excuse to scapegoat somebody instead of applying accountability properly. Waiting until after the election was a reactive response vs a proactive one. Should we not ding someone for being reactive vs proactive? Back to my original point, people are willing to overlook things on their team that they would be screaming from the rafters if the other team did it.

I’d say your anger/frustration is misplaced because you are willing to overlook who brought her in because of your affinity for a particular person. She wasn’t elected - she was appointed.

Before the year started, good defense and average offense.

Today - maybe average defense, less than good offense.

Bigger surprise was the defense. They may come around at some point. Sputtering offense has been consistent over the last several years. Good against average or bad defense. Unacceptable against good defenses.

Accusations without evidence is just conspiracy theory.

He is a sophomore that just completed his first full year as QB. He was good most of the year, but certainly struggled down the stretch. He will be fine.
