  • You clearly don’t understand the word corrupt. Please see Hunter Biden laptop. In particular, the parts which clearly outline his fathers grift and decades of corruption. SMH. 

    Orange guy may have been an ass, but he can’t hold a candle to the professional grifters in DC. That is precisely why they had to get rid of him. Even if it meant a totally made up and corrupt investigation. Derangement is sad. 
    Do you honestly think if we start listing all the ways that Joe and Hunter Biden are corrupt and then do the same for Trump and his children that the left side of the ledger is going to be longer? Come on.

    Eleven Trump associates have been charged with crimes. I suppose it's possible not all are guilty, but at least some have already pleaded guilty and/or been found guilty. Being an ass doesn't even crack my top 20 list of reasons that Trump is bad for this country -- and it shouldn't take a degree from Trump University to figure that out.

    I don't really hear a lot of people eager to throw a parade for Biden, but when the alternative is someone as corrupt, unethical and narcissistic as Trump I really don't see how there's even a decision to be made. How about we all just agree that both parties will put up a different candidate in the next cycle and then maybe we can move forward.

    100% agree. The Biden family is a POS and so corrupt, they make Obama look like a saint.  But the media continues to ignore the facts and cover it all up. “Nothing to see here” mentality.  And Hunter has gotten rich in the midst of all the corruption and lies. But we are all seeing thru the lies and deceptive ways of this administration…just look at the low approval numbers for Biden and Harris.  It’s a “train wreck”, and we are only 11 months into this “cluster fu-ked” 4 year nightmare.  Even the Democrats are fighting amongst themselves.  What a mess for the other countries to see.  Biden has made the USA a laughing stock. China is making fun of us, as are other countries. We are being mocked and laughed at. Hang on….it’s not going to get better anytime soon.  Lets go Brandon!

    So… you are embarrassing yourself again, because you are interpreting my comments to be about inflation.  Reading in context just isn’t what you’re capable of, so maybe stick to things you’re better at, like maintaining a barbecue catering company.

    An interesting anecdote, over Thanksgiving we had die hard Trump hating liberals over.  They were gung-ho Biden supporters, so much so they broke off contact with the Trump supporters in the family and constantly bashed Trump, conservatives, and anyone not full in the Biden camp.  Really approached only the way passionate 20 somethings can.  I applauded their conviction.  I was young once.

    Well, at Thanksgiving they actually were angry at Biden and wished they hadn't voted for him.  Said inflation, gas prices, and the economy is crushing them and they are hoping a change happens in 3 years.  They were really worried about taxes too.  Newly employed professionals, taxes suddenly have real meaning to them.  They were also very worried about international events.  Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China (Afghanistan did not bother them).  These were Trump flag burning, trash talking Biden lovers.  I just sat quietly and listened.  It was very interesting.
    Did they talk about Rittenhouse?  I was watching something with my aunt on YouTube and a thumbnail of KR appeared.  She said look at that whiny baby that got away with killing three people.  I asked her what she knew.  Everything was wrong that she thought she knew. I asked if she watched the testimony like me because you need first hand knowledge to form an opinion, not news headlines that are really op/Ed. She said no. When I corrected her points she slunk away.

    I think it's more of a trigger word. You could just go out and say it but it probably gets under someone else's skin a little more knowing the real meaning behind it. It's probably no different than someone on the left calling President Trump a "Cheeto or Pumpkin."

    It is interesting how some people's confidence in their opinions of various topics is inversely proportional to their actual knowledge.  Someone should maybe come up with a theory to explain that.

    This political forum has a real BBQ problem.
    Didn't intend to slam you, so sorry if it came across that way. I did appreciate that you posted that link.

    An interesting anecdote, over Thanksgiving we had die hard Trump hating liberals over.  They were gung-ho Biden supporters, so much so they broke off contact with the Trump supporters in the family and constantly bashed Trump, conservatives, and anyone not full in the Biden camp.  Really approached only the way passionate 20 somethings can.  I applauded their conviction.  I was young once.

    Well, at Thanksgiving they actually were angry at Biden and wished they hadn't voted for him.  Said inflation, gas prices, and the economy is crushing them and they are hoping a change happens in 3 years.  They were really worried about taxes too.  Newly employed professionals, taxes suddenly have real meaning to them.  They were also very worried about international events.  Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China (Afghanistan did not bother them).  These were Trump flag burning, trash talking Biden lovers.  I just sat quietly and listened.  It was very interesting.
    Did they talk about Rittenhouse?  I was watching something with my aunt on YouTube and a thumbnail of KR appeared.  She said look at that whiny baby that got away with killing three people.  I asked her what she knew.  Everything was wrong that she thought she knew. I asked if she watched the testimony like me because you need first hand knowledge to form an opinion, not news headlines that are really op/Ed. She said no. When I corrected her points she slunk away.
    Nope, KR did not come up.  The narrative on that entire situation was amazingly wrong, unfortunately those who are still calling for his head have not tried to educate themselves.  I had no idea how wrong the narrative was until the court case.  Turns out media headlines are not allowed in court.  Only facts.
    It is interesting how some people's confidence in their opinions of various topics is inversely proportional to their actual knowledge.  Someone should maybe come up with a theory to explain that.
    Pretty sure the theory is called: "Internet Forums", or that may be the name of the proof.  I get those confused.

    No problem.  I didn't take it as a slam.  Just my attempt at staying neutral.  I tend to come here for the food and try to not get sucked too far into the politics and religion.  That's what Twitter is for!

    I did not watch the trial, I have read a fair amount about it.  Upstream of the trial outcome, upstream of the shooting, I fundamentally have an issue with open carry and to me this was the absolute worst example of what should be acceptable.
    While the state failed to prove his guilt beyond RD, this kid created the situation that led to the deaths of those folks, IMHO.

    OJ is "innocent", too.
    I don’t entirely disagree with you, but these people also did this to themselves. If I see some dude walking the streets with a high powered rifle I’m not going to sucker punch him with a skateboard. Or run up to him holding my own gun.

    And I don't entirely disagree with you. If I was out there "protesting", and some dude came rolling up the street with a rifle, I'd NTFO.

    Not sure why these folks did what they did but they aren't around to ask.

    Except for the guy that was shot after pointing his gun at Rittenhouse, he was around for some questions. 

    “As Mr. Grosskreutz described the seconds before Mr. Rittenhouse shot him, he was shown photos that captured him pointing his gun at Mr. Rittenhouse.

    “So when you were standing three to five feet from him with your arms up in the air, he never fired, right?” Corey Chirafisi, a defense lawyer, asked.

    “Correct,” Mr. Grosskreutz answered.

    “It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him with your gun — now your hands down, pointed at him — that he fired, right?” Mr. Chirafisi said.

    “Correct,” he said.”
