Well, I'd heard all about Hunter Biden's laptop but I hadn't heard about Hunter Biden's gun until now. It appears he applied for a gun, lied about drug use on his application, the evidence of drug use primarily came from his laptop and the gun he owned was found disposed of behind a grocerty store. After multiple FOIA requests from the Secret Service, reporters have finally received pages of reports on Hunter Biden. What a fiasco if true. there will be no consequences. democrats do not face consequences and except for fox news it will be completely ignored by the media, those sterling objective reporters of fact. I'm not so sure. With the Republicans taking the House, they plan on investigating many things the Democrats have done. We might be turning a corner here. Democrats had a real advantage when they had the House and the Senate as well as the presidency and media censorship. With the House going Republican and Twitter levelling the playing field I think we're going to see a more balanced playing field moving forward. BTW, just as a favor to zodislove and to make threads cleaner, if it's not too much to ask can you at the very least erase media links like Twitter and Twitter or photos in previous quotes if you're going to quote. I ask because it really makes the threads easier to read and scroll through rather than scrolling through the same links repeatedly. Also, apparently the Twitter links really bog down zodislove's computer (although not sure why - maybe he needs to move off Windows 95  ). You don't have to do it but it certainly makes scrolling easier. |

We might be turning a corner here. maybe. republicans have been historically gutless though, even when they had both houses and the presidency. they are always striving to be the 'nice guys' in reaction to democrats constant accusations. I don't know enough historically to comment in detail. What I do know is that pre 9/11 nobody thought someone would fly an airplane into a building. Once that happened, the way people saw the world changed. What happened over the pandemic, the weaponizing of information was a shocking eye opener for millions of people and they're never going to see Liberal governments the same way again. I've never heard so many people who never spoke about or cared about politics get up in arms the way we saw it happen in the last 2 years. The suppression of individual freedoms, painting anyone opposed to Liberal agendas as extremists, the massive censorship campaigns, the blatant lies being propagandized through the media. In Canada I would say that possibly half the country (could be more, as many polls indicate a huge majority but I'm going with half just to be somewhat conservative) supported the Freedom Convoy. If this was 1970 we'd have seen real change happen with the size of protests that I saw...but because the government has now bought the media (literally bought it - they are beholden to the government for grants they've received and are still begging for more money) none of it was televised properly and Trudeau got away with it unscathed. At least in the US you have Fox news showing the other side. This has mobilized a pushback on that political Liberal advance unlike any we've seen in recent times. To borrow a phrase from Terminator, "The Resistance" is real, people are absolutely ticked and they are no longer leaving stones unturned. |

Change takes time and it's a slow burn. But like I said, what is more encouraging is that Conservatives have won the house back and Twitter is supposed to be more fair and balanced, bringing back balance in social media and so word will get out and some people's minds will change. What they tried to stop was word getting out. I can't even count how many people I have spoken to who were politically neutral or ambivalent, who simply because they were forced to take a vaccine are now standing against the lack of freedom. Word is getting out. But for change to continue to take place, people need to become active in getting word out. Complacency is how we got here. |

You must have a free exchange of ideas for a true democracy to flourish. You must have a free press. You must have the freedom to openly disagree. We just spent years getting indoctrinated by the Liberal media through the most powerful censorship campaign the world has ever seen. For f*@k's sake, even CGC was complicit in it by banning Joe Rogan.  And I literally mean this. It's not just a figure of speech. But the tide has just started to turn, and while the changing tide may have been a little too close to the midterm elections to affect them, word is getting out at a rate that was unprecedented over the previous 3 years. I do believe things will change. Liberal governments are flipping over to conservative governments everywhere. In Canada, in the US and in Europe. As a parallel, in 1942 or 1943, when you looked at WW@ you couldn't predict a winner. But I do believe we're in around 1944 now where progress was more evident...the tide is beginning to turn. And you know how we're close to the tide turning? The attacks have ratched up to a level never before seen in our history. Former president with an attempted impeachment twice in one term?  Mass censorship around the world? Federal investigation into a former president? Multiple civil investigations into a former president? A War Act enacted in Canada? IN CANADA OF ALL PLACES!!!@#! Any one of these events would have been headline news around the world but these all happened WITHIN ONE YEAR! They're literally unleashing the gates of hell against any opposition with everything they have at their disposal to try to stop conversations from being had. So just keep having conversations. These are unprecedented times. Fun ride. |

There have been a number of excellent thoughtful posts on this subject, and I have only a few to contemplate. The incoming Republican Speaker of the House, and the continuing Republican Minority Speaker of the Senate share a common value-both have neglected the one path to a federal republic-equality of Bench Appointments of Judges committed to the Constitution and not committed to legislating from the Bench. Yes, Yes, I know about SCOTUS Appointments and the natural tendency to throw wreaths at the conquering hero Minority Republican Senate Speaker. Re-think the wreathe throwing. The ultimate intent of SCOTUS is that it NOT have to decide Cases brought to the Court that found their way to SCOTUS by taking the road of lower courts legislating from the Bench, and manipulating a curtain of worthiness via the language of the decisions.
The lower court appointments have been a dismal failure at preventing legislating from the Bench. At this time in the present POTUS service, he has appointed more lower court judges than any previous POTUS. When is the last time anyone witnessed a filibuster, or Judicial Committee review request by the House OR Senate Republican Leaders of appointments or recommendations by the present POTUS? I can answer: Never. If you think either the House or Senate Republican Leaders did an outstanding job with the SCOTUS appointments, you are incorrect. What did happen was an agreement by those leaders to quietly endure lower court appointments by the present POTUS, INSTEAD OF INSISTING THAT NO LOWER COURT JUDGE BE APPOINMENT THAT HAS ANY HISTORY OF LEGISLATING FROM THE BENCH OR ENCOURAGING SAME AT ANY PROFESSIONAL MEMBER OF THE BAR LEVEL.
OK. Fire away. I don't care about the Party thing. Appoint away...as long as the appointments do not end up gleefully encouraging legislating from the Bench.

The Biden Administration is everything Democrats claimed the Trump Admin was, but if it were a reality show, no one would believe it.
"There's no way a group of people this corrupt and insane and dangerous could EVER remain in power!" they'd cry out.
But here we are.

Just saw an NBC article sharing a poll stating that the American public neither wants Trump NOR Biden in office next term. The tide is turning...mainly because it's getting hard to keep a senile old man in the POTUS chair. |
