Oh the outrage!!! Lower a flag? How about just standing up...which is what the entire dem side of congress couldn't do for a young black boy suffering from brain cancer (State of the Union)...or mothers of the women who were raped and murdered by illegals. You're talking about 1 man lowering a flag when your entire party can't even muster enough integrity to stand.. LOL at the selective outrage!

I know that was for UT, but I'll play along. A leftist judge would block the EO in about 2 seconds. Just nuke the filibuster and pass the SAVE act. The dems are already openly telling you they will get rid of it when they are back in control.

Bannon is a scumbag. But LOL at anything related to "threat to democracy" or "pillars of democracy" coming from a dem, whose party unilaterally installed an unelected Kamala as their candidate. And is about to hand-pick a senator replacement for your rapist in Maine.

So exactly what is your argument or point here? That there is no one within Iranian leadership who want a deal and for this to end? You believe Iran is completely unified in it's stance against a deal and they all want war? The entire Iranian leadership is made up of factions, including the IRGC. And you think they are all on the same page?

Exactly what part of my statement was untrue? I never said "small" factions, you added that. I said there were factions and leadership that want to make a deal, and hardliners in the IRGC that do not. I also said these do not seem like coordinated attacks, but rather hardliners trying to sow chaos (shooting a projectile towards a tanker). I also stated that it will cause things to escalate...it has. You don't have to be in the situation room to apply some common sense and see what's going on. But I do agree they are playing us. And it's probably about to get ugly.

There are factions and leadership inside Iran that want to make a deal, and there are hard-liners in the IRGC that do not. These do not sound like some coordinated attacks, but rather some hard-liner trying to sow chaos. But if it continues, things are going to escalate.

WO-S will be an interesting one. They were 3rd in district last year (7-5) and were young. DJ will have them playing hard. But they are small. Unless they have a move in or two, size will be an issue.

While I agree with the premise of the article, when are the arrests coming? How many have been charged? Kash Patel has to be the biggest disappointment in the Administration. He loves going on podcasts, talk shows, and FOX News talking about all the evidence he's uncovered, secret FBI rooms with burn bags, the RICO case they "allegedly" built, and how all these arrests are about to happen....then crickets. Wake me up when someone is getting perp walked. Until then, Patel needs to STHU.

There's really no point engaging with that poster. He's a troll, he has a stage 5 case of TDS, he's been banned multiple times and keeps coming back creating new user accounts/names, thumbs his nose at forum rules and the moderators, and the best he has to offer is some drive-by post to try and stir things up. Meh.

That's the thing, right? It wouldn't matter what the outcome was, what was in the MOU, none of it. TDS sufferers would still parrot the same MSM talking points and say how terrible it was. Their entire platform is Trump bad...that's it. It's why their entire party is being taking over by the DSA and far left radicals. The mid-terms will be the judge.

Don't worry, the inflation is TRANSITORY lol. Isn't that what the left shouted for 4 years? Surely, we can call it that for a few months.

What happens next? Hopefully the GOP finds their balls, employs the nuclear option and passes the SAVE act before your commie friends take over (i.e. steal another election) and pack the supreme court, end the electoral college, add Puerto Rico and DC as states, and enact permanent democratic control all while pointing to the other side shouting "threat to democracy".

The dems are always going to vote dem. But I always find it fascinating when the "concerned moderates" and "Never Trumpers" that "allegedly" have traditionally voted R, happily pull the lever for D. The Biden presidency was a complete disaster and a stain on our nation's history. Kamala said she'd "change nothing" about it so a vote for Kamala was effectively just an extension of the Biden embarrassment. The only explanation I can come up with for a traditional R to vote D, is that their brain has been broken by TDS and their soul corrupted with hate for the guy. I'm not getting everything I voted for (and none of us ever will), but I'm getting a lot of it. And it's infinitely better than if Kamala was in charge.

Thank you for your input Coach Crumedy (or is it Mrs. Crumedy?). Sorry it didn't work out for you here in Jasper😄.

What an insane take. First, you insist Trump staged his (3rd) assassination attempt. , then you pivoted to "it was trump's fault". It's quite the shame that the mods continue to let you troll this site. Seek help for your stage 4 TDS,

We need some more of those "I did that" stickers that TDS sufferers spent their money on.

Been a bad day for TDS and Never Trumpers

No, unfreezing Iran's own $20 billion is not the same as flying in $400 million of taxpayer money in cold hard cash on a pallet in the middle of the night.

I heard it was Toby's job if he wants is.

Oh good grief! Moderators, take the trash out. So now we're all going to hell if we voted for Trump? If this isn't out of bounds trolling, I don't know what is.

Oh the irony of this post

The difference is a US Senate seat is national. Yes, the same pool of voters, but way more outside money, national media attention, dirtier campaigns, dark money, bigger endorsements, bigger campaigns, etc. I would still be shocked if the democrats flipped a senate seat in TEXAS, but the GOP set it up on a tee for the dems to have the best chance.

Texas AG and a US Senate seat are vastly different campaigns. I've already heard republican friends saying they'd vote for Talarico. That's how bad of a candidate Cornyn/Paxton is. I will never cast a vote for Abbott or Patrick ever again and would have to hold my nose and vote R to try to save a Senate seat. Many won't even do that, they just won't show up to vote. I think this will be a lot closer than what you are expecting. But like you say...we shall see.

I hope you are right, but do not share your confidence. Paxton is terrible.

I strongly disagree that Talarico will be embarrassed by Paxton/Cornyn. Talarico is not Beto. He is a polished, experienced legislator, backed by the Democratic machine. He will get endorsed by national democrats and probably Joe Rogan and other big name independent thinkers. And then add a historically weak opponent in Cornyn (RINO, who pissed off most Texas conservatives with his ridiculous support of Biden gun legislation) and Paxton (crook and absolute scumbag). This one is setting up to be a nail-biter because of the failure of the Texas GOP, who's been hijacked by far right tea party religious zealots, who are more concerned with destroying public schools, subsidizing private school tuition for the wealthy, ten commandments and prayer time in school and primarying any moderate that stands in their way. You can thank looney Dan Patrick and bought and paid for Abbott for getting us to this point and giving moderate republicans and independents poor choices for candidates. It may now have serious implications on the national stage in the US Senate.
