This is so pathetic for our US Govt to be playing favorites. Hiding behind the fake veil of "muh compromised investigations" is even worse.

---

People constantly demand arrests, but then express outrage when the govt tries to protect the case. They want the DOJ to publicly release all evidence before the trial even begins and still somehow secure convictions at the same time.

Does that not sound unreasonable? If you want convictions, you have to accept you will not be given all the information on an active investigation. If you want all the information, then you have to accept that you may not get convictions. This is the real world. You don't get it both ways.

If you look at Google Trends for 'Jeffrey Epstein' it will show interest in epstein peaked in 2019/2020 and 2024. During the Biden administration, the interest in Epstein hovered around 5% compared to the 75% interest recently. The obvious question is then, "Where was all the concern from democrats and Trump-haters during that time period?"

Why was Khanna and Massie not calling for the release then? Why was Schumer not demanding full transparency? What is different about now? If their goal is to give Trump a black eye, as it clearly is, and I go along with the faux outrage, does that make me a lemming?

If you are going to pay someone, pay the cartels to police the border.

And after that, we can pay muslims to not commit terrorism. What a brilliant plan.

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I am referring to a phenomenon we see all around us: people who accept their beliefs as a package..."

And if you are an independent thinker who doesn't swallow an ideology whole, you get attacked for having a mind of your own. You get told you're not a true believer. You get looked down upon for not trying to solve every problem through the lens of a single ideology.

You can't just do the right thing at the right time. You have to do the ideological thing at all times, regardless of consequences, or you're not pure like them. This is how you end up with people supporting ideas that ultimately hurt them and the country, like shipping the manufacturing of critical components overseas to save a buck.

I think all this Venezuala hoopla is more about Russia and China that Venezuala, they're big buddies with them, nothing China would liker more than to get more of there people in our neighborhood

Of course, there is more going on than just drugs. The problem is conservatives demand to be told everything. If Trump doesn't explain every military mission and goal in explicit detail so that the enemy knows what we are doing, then that means Trump is just working for the deep state to them.

Muslim terrorists murdering Americans - well, that just the deep state making you think muslims want you dead. We can't defend our homeland from people who want to kill us. That's exactly what the deep state wants you to do. Muslims are just peaceful misunderstood people. The deep state just convinced you they are boogeymen. Their constant rape and violence is just an illusion. You suckers are just falling for the deep state if you don't want muslim terrorists in our hemisphere.

Yes, reports of hezbollah being in Venezuela go back decades, but that's just what they want you to believe, man. Conservatives are so conditioned to see "fake" wars that they will ignore an actual war even when it is on their doorstep.

It's so weird. In domestic policy, conservatives are chicken littles who think the sky is falling every day. Every new situation is the most important thing ever. They see problems where they don't exist.

But in foreign policy, no actual threat is considered real. They'll ignore real problems and pretend nothing is worthy of action. Dead citizens and expanding Chinese power? Not important. Did you hear what Trump said about Reiner, though?

Retirement age must be raised and self directed investments need to be implemented and incorporated as an option

---

We take care of ourselves, improve medical science, and for what? So we can work even more? So we can pay more taxes? So we can keep funding welfare, foreign countries, and politicians' bank accounts at the expense of our golden years?

What's the point of increasing life expectancy if retirement age keeps getting pushed closer to death?

Instead of forcing innocent people to work more to "fix" a broken system, how about we stop stealing money from them so they don't have to work until they die? How about we stop intentionally devaluing our money so that money made 20 years ago isn't useless today?

By just going along with increasing the retirement age, you are causing American workers to suffer for the sins of congress. You are letting congress off the hook by accepting to give up more of your life to cover up their failure.

They intentionally screwed you, and anyone willing to just give up years of retirement so politicians can protect their interests and offer you a "solution" to the problem they created is a doormat. And they've actually convinced many that giving up years of their life is the right and conservative thing to do.

Paid by cartels to run cocaine to Caribbean ports.

---

Do you even realize this is the exact talking point the democrats have used?

"They aren’t cartel members. They are just poor souls working for the cartels."

For people who claim to be true conservatives, the talking points seem to coincide with the progressives' quite frequently.

quote:

---

Just jumped out to me that you would prefer to figure out if Trump is breaking the law over learning what is actually in the files.

---

The TDS crowd rarely understands what they are actually saying. He never realized that he was caring more about how to make Trump look bad than the victims themselves. It's just natural for him to look for something to bitch about with Trump. It's become an emotional necessity at this point.

They are a deranged lot, but luckily, their obsession gives them away.

quote:

---

Clearly she's getting what she paid for. Otherwise why would she be joking about a third term?

---

People on this board have joked about a third term for Trump. Do they own Trump, too?

When you let your emotions run wild, you negate any actual point you may have. It's a joke about a 3rd term. It means nothing, but you want to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Israel's influence is a problem, but no one is going to trust your assessment when you are crying over a joke. You just hurt your cause and come across as a jew hater instead of someone voicing a valid concern.

quote:

---

It's why they continue to fear monger us about Islamic Extremism and Sharia Law and those scary muslims - they want it front and center of the minds of voters on the right so they will fall back in line by gladly backing every single neocon and overseas embellishment possible.

---

Really? It's not the constant murder committed by muslims that keeps it front and center? It's just the establishment making us think about muslims murdering innocent people?

quote:

---

 So the idea is to scare monger us all using the tried & true muslim boogeyman that way we have no issue spending trillions on wars.

---

People don't want muslims in America. No one is asking to spend trillions on a foreign war. That doesn't help remove muslims from the country. Stop fear mongering about a war no one wants.

quote:

---

If your fundamentals have been consistent for 45 years, then you would agree that the socialist economic moves by Trump like Intel, US Steel, etc are not exactly Reagan Conservatism.

---

Now let's talk about how Reagan conservatism gave amnesty to millions of illegals. Reagan increased the cost of everything by increasing demand and reduced wages with cheap labor. He fundamentally changed the voting patterns of America and gave the democrats more power.

When Reagan went "unconservative" it hurt real Americans for generations, likely permanently. When Trump goes "unconservative," he increases revenue as part of a plan to reduce taxes in the long run.

Why should I praise Reagan for hurting the average American but attack Trump for favoring the average American over corporations?

Your Reagan conservatism is just globalism. You favor corporations, even foreign ones, over the American public. You prop up our adversaries through economic strengthening while weakening our own country. All in favor of the almighty dollar which ends up being nothing more than the rich getting richer as profits increase but wages decrease.

Your conservatism allowed Japan to challenge us in the 80s, and its allowing China to challenge us now. We are dependent on foreign countries for critical infrastructure and goods because of your "conservatism."

America First will always be superior to your conservatism.
