    Whatever you say. I must admit that you certainly know how to criticize others without facts to back up your words. It is a talent that Republicans do have, I must say.

    Here is a fact that you cannot deny, given that it comes from Trump's most ardent EX-Fan (Rupert Murdock)

    People in Glass houses ought not throw stones.

    Biden can't speak English for remember what year it is or who he is or what office he holds.

    Are you sure you want to pull this thread because it was Democrats that elected the most incompetent buffoon ever heard of so far.

    that doesn't prove any of your TDS laced opinions.

    tell me this-how did Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett vote in the BRUEN decision
    how about Quotamayor and Kagan?

    Biden is no FDR but for an old man with every single Republican against him, he has accomplished quite a bit:

    1) $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package
    2) The $1.9 trillion relief deal
    3) Highest appointment of Federal Judges since Reagan
    4) Halt on Federal Executions

    5) Commitment to Combating Climate Change
    6) Support for Transgender Service Members
    7) Reduced unemployment


    On top of that, Inflation is heading lower. Just this morning (12/8/2022), the price of oil is $60 below its high last year and is just a few dollars above where it was trading just before he took office. Gasoline was trading at $2.40 a gallon on January 2021 and is now at $3.20 and doen from the $5.80 high seen a year ago. This morning, he was also successful in getting Griner back from Russia.

    On top of that, the mid-term elections were supposed to be a tidal wave for the Republicans in both the House and the senate The average loss of seats in a midterm election by the ruling party is 28 and it was expected the Democrats would lose 40-45 this year. They only lost 18. They were also expected to lose majority in the Senate by 1 or 2 seats but they actually gained 1.

    As such, your claim that Biden is the most incompetent buffoon ever is not supported by the facts. I do not deal with Opinions. I deal with facts. You lose

    Like I stated before. I stand by my post and OP and you have yet to prove any of your allegations. No more back and forth between you and I. This is my last post to you. Ciao.

    it is your duty to prove your allegations and so far you have completely failed. You keep promising you won't address me and like a moth to a flame, you cannot help it. I proved that the TRUMP appointees voted the right way in Bruen and that Biden appointees are hostile to gun rights. Trump was thus the better choice for me.

    Opinion but from an ardent ex-supporter of Trump and one of the most influential person in the U.S. That certainly means more that anything you or I say or believe. Sorry, but you keep on losing. You have not won a single point yet.

    Joe Biden is the most incompetent buffoon we've had in office in recent history.

    He can't even know control his bowel and you think you're going to get me to believe he did anything good.

    Wasting 4 trillion dollars in 2 years is not an accomplishment. Bending the knee to the moronic climate change religion is a violation of the first amendment. And packing the cords with corrupt justices is probably one of the worst things about his presidency.

    I'm not a leftist these things aren't good you people don't like our country you want to destroy it.

    he's not influential in my book-your pathetic appeal to authority fails. I am not winning-it is you who is losing. Your pathetic failure to support your assertions about Trump are just that-pathetic. You never have told us what causes your inane hatred of Trump. I have clearly indicated what he accomplished and why I liked that , and why I despise democrats

    he seems to think massive pork spending, straightjacketing american business with idiotic environmental extremism and pushing the radical agenda of the LBQT etc advocates is a win for the USA

    I do not accept comments that are extremes except when there is an extreme. Biden is NOT.

    None of us is perfect so you can always find something that someone did wrong. I am not a fan of Biden but then again, I am a realist and know he has not been what you accuse him to be. If you want me to continue to debate with you and answer your posts, get off these extremes, which are not reality. I am about facing life by addressing the real negatives that life offers and looking for viable solutions. That can never be done if the problems faced are extreme fantasies by this person or that one.

    You are now aware of the way I look at things. If you cannot address things as they actually are, I have no interest in talking to you. You have been warned.

    the opinion of an extremist on this subject means very little.
    It's not about finding faults it's pointing out a president desperate to utterly destroy the country.

    Blowing three trillion on lies is a hell of a punch.

    Bending the need to this stupid climate change religion is another.

    You are an extremist because you think that nonsense is good.

    I am writing this "for the record" but I do know that whatever I say you will pooh-pooh it right off the bat.

    The first thing you are 100% wrong about is that I am the farthest thing from an extremist that you will even find. In fact, it is incredible that something so simple is something you cannot see. To begin with, my previous comment about no one being perfect and my comment about Biden not being my favorite should have told you that right off the top and yet you were unable to see it. In addition, I have often stated here repeatedly, that I was a Republican for 35 years but when they started going to the extreme right (about 30 years ago), I left the party. A person who does that is definitely not an extremist for either side...............and yet, you think it. Geez, talk about something that does not use any common sense.

    Secondly, blowing 3 billion on lies? You mean that the death of over 1 million Americans to Covid and over 6 million world wide is a lie? Geez, that is absolutely ridiculous.

    Covid is not nonsense. Proof is in the fact that China closed its doors to their economy (costing the country much, much, much more than $3 billion. If Covid was nonsense, then every leader is the world is an idiot and you are the only rational person on earth. This was not just something Biden did, but something that every country is the world has done (spend money to get rid of Covid).

    This statement alone has put you in the category of an extremist and in the category of someone that I have no interest in listening to, give that someone that thinks of themselves as the most knowledgeable person in the world is (in my opinion) delusional. I do not converse with delusional people.

    As such, this post just put you on my list of people I will not talk to.

    If you have to remove yourself from a discussion based on the fact that you can't peacefully disagree with somebody it seems to make the case that you are an extremist.

    Further I've been told I'm worse than Hitler so you calling me an extremist is a compliment. At least I own it.

    But scamper off to your little face and tell yourself you're not an extremist for doing so.

    This is one Democrat program that really pisses me off. You join the military to serve, not to get your thing cut off. Once you start down this road, you will be nothing but a mental basket case which will be of no use to the military. You will be dead weight.

    If the Democrats want to program for transgender surgery, then they should push for it in Congress, not hide it the military.

    Bradley Manning, now known as Chelsea Elizabeth Manning is the worst example. She violated the Espionage Act for handing over top secret documents to Wikileaks. She was convicted and sent to jail. In the mean time, the taxpayers had to pick up the tab to turn this traitor into a woman. :frustrated:

    I am sorry to do this to you but these type of rare exceptions to the rule is part of life. This is NOT something that affects a whole lot of people and cherry picking an event to make a point is, in my humble opinion. ridiculous.

    You are not sorry to do it at all. I'll stand by my statement; you can stand by yours. Going into the military as a transsexual who is looking for "the operation" at government expense should be the same as applying to join when your are 4 feet 6 inches tall and weigh 400 pounds. It should be a non-starter.

    At least you said that transsexualism is rare. That's a step in the right direction. Listening to the activists, every child under the age of ten needs to be pushed toward changing their gender. If the parents question that, the child should be allowed to go to a sympathetic health care professional right away, without parental consent.

    Compared to everyone else that joins the military and that gains weight, how many are transgender that join the military and how many ar 4 feet 6 inches tall that weigh 400 points.

    Exceptions to any rule will always exist. Changing the rules to fit the exceptions creates more problems rather than fixes them.

    I know this to be a fact as I have seen it lived it for 77 years. For those exceptions, the courts are the solution and not Congress or changing the laws. If they do that, we will then have to have a million different laws to address the problem that affects at best a few hundred people. Totally ridiculous and does not make sense.
