    It was not a hoax. The Mueller report did not charge Donald Trump with
    nythin
    it was never going to. It didn't exonerate him either.

    https://youtu.be/HMp9_f-jxDw

    "For years, Donald Trump and his supporters pinned their hopes on the investigation by [the special counsel] John Durham, Trump and his allies arguing it would exonerate him from any hint of improper behavior regarding
    the Russian government's attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.
    The report is now here, it has dropped, and it might not have produced everything of what some Republicans hoped for, [but] it is regardless devastating to the FBI and to a degree, it does exonerate Donald Trump."

    I will take his word over yours, especially since I doubt you will even
    read/be able to understand all of what is quoted above.

    The Durham report pointed what out?

    See above. It is "devastating to the FBI and to a degree, it does exonerate Donald Trump."

    On the news this morning, they mentioned that US business are going

    Didn't bother President Trump and his Republican dominated Congress,

    three times to pay for it, forcing everybody else to go along with it.

    Highest rate of companies going bankrupt since the 2008 Recession is not
    "not doing badly," nor is it "same challenges as always." It is an
    indicator that we might be in another recession, or heading for one.

    I see you cut my mention of said bankrupcy rate out of your qoutes above.

    If congress fails to increase the debt ceiling, my first question will be
    why was the Biden administration giving tons of money to a foreign country,
    and why, in the middle of this debt ceiling crisis, did the administration
    also give them planes?

    If we are so bad in debt that we have to increase the ceiling (again!),
    where does all the free money and planes for Ukraine come from?

    Meanwhile, El Salvador's VP has come forward with a plan he says will fix problems in both of our countries that lead to illegal immigration into
    ours. Our VP, and Biden appointed Border Czar, has ignored him, presumably because his plan would cost money.

    Congress is, or has, tabled a $16,000.000.00 sanction against Schift...
    ven
    if he does get booted out be said he's running for senate in 2024... He'll more than likely get the seat because of his loyalty the Deep State.

    Who tabled that? I haven't heard of this though it sounds like a MTG stunt.

    Good luck with that!

    It is not a MTG stunt. The sanction, as well as removal, have been
    introduced by a Congresswoman from Florida named Luna.

    like... stop leaving $80 BILLION dollars in military equipment to our
    nemy,
    ISIS.

    This is another lie. The military did not leave 80 billion dollars in
    ilitary
    quipment to your enemy, ISIS. I don't care what Steve Bannon or MTG said.

    They did leave plenty of equipment. That was all over the news, including
    CNN and MSNBC, at the time of the botched pull-out. I cannot say it was $80 billion USD worth, but military equipment is expensive and they left behind
    a whole bunch so I would not be surprised.

    This is not about printing money, it is about paying the debt that congress
    a
    already spent.

    Maybe they should stop spending so much so they don't reach the ceiling and then we don't have to go through this nonsense.

    Alan Dershowitz is a constitutional law professor born in New York. Though
    a life long democrat, voted for Biden, was part of one of Trump's impeachments lawyers, he spoke on the constitutionality of the current impeachment. He still claims to be a Democrat.

    Had the Democrats not made those rule changes back in the day. It would not have lead the republicans making similar changes, AKA "The Nuclear Option", during Trump's presidency to place 3 constitutional justices in the supreme court...

    There is no debt ceiling crisis. The bills have arrived and they need to be paid.

    If we are so bad in debt that we have to increase the ceiling (again!),

    I never said you were so bad in debt. The bills have arrived and the GOP doesn't want to pay it.

    This also is not about the debt ceiling.

    I suppose the border Czar may need to get money for this if they want to take it forward. Is this something congress would like to do?

    I see you cut my mention of said bankrupcy rate out of your qoutes above.

    This is your talking point, not mine.

    You can post some more if you want but I am not going to partake.

    Things are tough all over. This is not a crisis that Joe Biden created.

    It wouldn't be your talking point because you don't like facts, especially
    ones quote from the news that paint the current administration in a bad
    light. You also don't like facts because they have to be ignored in order to say "The US is doing well" under Biden.

    It is a good talking point because the point in history it references back
    to is the 2008 Recession, you know, back when we were all told it was 100%
    the (Republican) President's fault.

    There is also daily mainstream media news about tent cities springing up in urban areas all over the country. Locally, Louisville has had issues,
    going through and moving these homeless encampments out of one area just to have them show up somewhere else. In places like Portland (near you), and San Fransiso, the issue is much worse.

    I believe it is a lie. Comer and Jordan are beyond comedy but I'll have >> >> look and see what this is about.

    So you called it a lie without knowing anything about it?

    It was/is a lie. Where is this document?

    You cut the part out of your quote where you admitted you had not heard anything about it, then turned around and said it was a lie.

    I still have not heard about it but you keep bringing it up.

    It is just another lie.

    I am not the one who brought it up. I brought up that you called something
    a lie immediately after admitting you knew nothing about it just because
    you don't like the source.

    Then you want someone else to disprove something you called a "lie" that
    you admitted you know nothing about.

    And you have done it again right above.

    Just to be sure I understand... it is one side's fault for not wanting to go along with it because they want cuts, but NOT the other sides fault if they will not agree to ANY cuts?

    This is not about sides. This money has already been spent, the bills have
    rr
    ed and it's due now.

    Again, why did they spend money they didn't have?

    Why is it an illegitimate request to ask for future spending to be cut
    before raising a debt ceiling to pay for bills with money they don't have (hence, "hitting the debt ceiling")?

    Again, why did they spend money they didn't have?

    That's what govt's do. The collect revenue and they spend it on the nations interests.

    At the end of the month the bills arrive and they need to be paid.

    Why is it an illegitimate request to ask for future spending to be cut
    before raising a debt ceiling to pay for bills with money they don't have (hence, "hitting the debt ceiling")?

    Congress is free to decide how they spend and on what. They do that all the time, as they should. When the bills arrive they need to be paid if you care about the credit rating, 401k's and such.

    Hello Ron,

    The constitution is clear who sets the bar on debt and budget...

    But the Elitists don't belive that the Constitution restrains them. They think that they above all that.

    The "validity of the public debt" of the US "authorized by law ...
    shall not be questioned." ~XIV Amendment, Section 4

    'Nuff said.

    lower inflation rates are not doing, or not doing to the extent that we are because, unlike those other countries, the USA is fighting a proxy war with Russia
    (3) we are experiencing additional financial issues because the current administration decided to move us off the path of energy independence and
    back onto the path of dependence

    Homelessness is an issue, it's not new or something that Biden caused.

    It is not new but is worse now than it has been in recent past.

    That has not been proven. The only proof you offer that it is a lie is "I

    "The Durham report refuted the narrative of former President Donald Trump colluding with Russia to win the 2016 Election for good. Now, Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) seeks to charge former House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) a $16 million fine for continuing to propagate the narrative.

    "Why $16 million? Rep. Luna stated this was approximately half the cost of the federal investigation, therefore suggesting Rep. Schiff owes much culpability in pushing the Trump-Russia collusion story."

    It's important to know that this is not news, it's sponsored (engineered) by M
    e (the pillow guy) Lindell.

    That particular link may have been, but it can be found in several places.
    A representative from Florida has indeed introduced a bill to fine Schiff, and another to expel him. They likely won't make it through Congress, but it
    is not a lie that both have been introduced and both will likely be
    discussed.

    I posted a link for you in a previous message, and also told you how to

    You are not in a war currently, not even a proxy war. The US is not fighting a war against Russia since the US has not been invaded. I hope that doesn't change.

    Ukraine has been invaded and is fighting a war against Russia. The US supports Ukraine and is an ally along with most Nato and many other countries but is not involved in the fighting.

    This is likely a factor in inflation.

    (3) we are experiencing additional financial issues because the current administration decided to move us off the path of energy independence and back onto the path of dependence

    How are you less energy independent now, under Biden?

    Homelessness is an issue, it's not new or something that Biden caused.

    It is not new but is worse now than it has been in recent past.

    The homeless issue is an old one, it happens here too. Some choose to be homeless and others are homeless by circumstance. The old guard hasn't been able to make a dent in it. I hope there is some new blood coming up that can work toward a solution.

    The entity known as Mike Powell was overheard to utter these
    words of nonsense to a genius from Canada who needs no lecture -

    Neither of those things were caused by Biden.

    (1) the inflation rate has been higher in the USA than in other "advanced" countries

    Completely false, no explanation needed as the facts speak for
    themselves.

    (2) it would not be as bad if we were not involved in supporting Ukraine financially, which is something that the other "advanced" countries with lower inflation rates are not doing, or not doing to the extent that we are
    because, unlike those other countries, the USA is fighting a proxy war with
    Russia

    Another false claim, as many countries are involved in supporting
    Ukraine - both financially and militarily. This is not a "proxy" war
    between Russia and the USA, but a real war between Russia and Ukraine.
    Using real guns and missiles and other arms of warfare. Along with
    real soldiers from each country.

    (3) we are experiencing additional financial issues because the current administration decided to move us off the path of energy independence and back onto the path of dependence

    Total nonsense. The total cost of helping Ukraine defend itself is
    minimal relative to the total economy of the USA.

    Homelessness is an issue, it's not new or something that Biden caused.

    It is not new but is worse now than it has been in recent past.

    With full employment and higher wages there is less homelessness,
    not more.

    That is a false claim. Whether Mike P. realizes or not, such claims
    based on thin air do not make it true. But he does retain the right
    to keep trying. No matter how futile.

    Now, Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) seeks to charge former House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) a $16 million fine for continuing to propagate the narrative.

    With no evidence to back up her outlandish claims, it is all talk and
    no action. Kind of like the loons who chant "Lock her up" in regards
    to Hillary Clinton).

    So keep trying, Mike P. We all enjoy your rants.

    You are not in a war currently, not even a proxy war. The US is not fighting

    ar against Russia since the US has not been invaded. I hope that doesn't
    hang

    Ukraine has been invaded and is fighting a war against Russia. The US
    upports
    kraine and is an ally along with most Nato and many other countries but is
    ot
    nvolved in the fighting.

    This is likely a factor in inflation.

    You need to look up the definition of "proxy war." Also, Biden has blamed inflation on that war, but it started before that war.

    The old guard hasn't been able to mak
    e a dent in it. I hope there is some new blood coming up that can work toward solution.

    I cannot disagree with this statement regarding homelessness, and it could probably be applied to other issues as well.

    I know what a proxy war is and that is not what is happening.

    Ukraine has been invaded and Russia contunues it's attacks.

    The USA is not fighting this war. They do provide aid but they are not fighting a war, proxy or otherwise.
