    Where did I say "they're all the same?" If you mean that politicians have differing private and public opinion on the same issue, then I would say they're all the same. Did you notice what happened to a politician over the past 4 years that said what he really thinks. They can't get elected or stay elected doing that.

    I guess all they needed was a dossier and anonymous sources to make it legit.

    I'm partisan and proud of it. I don't see myself as a leftist or a rightist but as a person who believes in right and wrong. Frex; it's right that people who've worked all their lives should have enough for a comfortable old age. It's wrong if they don't so someone else can have ten thousand times as much as anyone could spend in a hundred lifetimes

    I'm a sort of Huey Long type, but the amount has changed I think a billion dollars is enough for anyone in this life.

    Affidavits are NEVER evidence. Ever. They are testimony.

    Those who read your posts would say you are a leftist. So all somebody has to do to retire comfortably is work hard? Sorry, lots of other things are involved. Things like smart money management, success in the job, absence of financial crises etc etc.

    I agree. A billion dollars is enough for anyone. Those who own many billions generally give a good portion of it away. If they don't it is their choice. It is not up to you or may to take it from them.

    And anyone else not that fortunate should go live under a bridge? Frack you too, I'm 64 with nothing, I'm going to go rob a bank and let the chips fall where they may, what do I have to lose?

    Yes, it is. It was by society's sufferance that anyone making that much money usually made it anyway

    And yes, I'm a leftist. I believe in right over wrong and over money too.

    Didn't read garbage thread, just want to point out that as usual, the hallmarks of Leftism are dishonesty and projection. In this thread we see both, but especially projection.

    The Trump Administration survived more than one irrefutably well-documented COUP ATTEMPT for 4 years, may YET survive another coup attempt via rampant, also irrefutable, ballot fraud in the 2020 election. Stuffing ballot boxes is one of the oldest coup tactics for centuries, and has been a trademark of the corrupt U.S. Democratic Party since Tammany Hall.

    Ironically, the "muhrussia hoax" coup attempt led directly to the 2018 EO that could stifle THIS latest coup attempt.

    Stay tuned.

    You wrote....."What politicians believe and do in public and private isn't necessarily the same. Remember politicians are interested primarily in re-election."

    Freedom.

    Glad you came clean about your leftism. But your beliefs are opinions. Most people disagree with you.

    You showed a political opinion. I take it you don’t approve of the constitution or constitutional processes.

    Based on fact, try to follow the facts and logic if you're capable.

    I take it you can't follow the facts and logic?

    Freedom to what, to die miserably? Frack your freedom, in jail, I at least get "3 hots and a cot"

    Your conservative beliefs are opinions too, and your opinions have far fewer backers than mine. "The Lord must truly have loved the poor, he made so many of them" Abraham Lincoln

    "
    Most people disagree with you" is the Great Conservative Myth that goes back to Nixon and Agnew's "Silent Majority" They're silent because they're not there. People have never liked taxes but that doesn't mean the general populace wants to see people dying from starvation in the streets like most conservatives seem to campaign for.

    Whatever makes you happy.

    Backers of my opinions isn't important to me. Not even a little. You would be horrified if you studied my opinions about federal government. Hardly anybody backs them yet they are as strong as ever in my own mind.

    In that, we agree. Like I said, my political opinions are from right and wrong, not politics or other people.

    And my notions of right and wrong are from the French Enlightenment. They're pretty much the same as the Founding Fathers. Where are yours from?
