In a world where the left calls anything the right thinks as conspiracy, looks like we are doing the same to donthecons suggestion. For me, I'm taking a wait and see approach and asking lots of questions There are a lot of things we don't know......

You think Israel would let this happen knowingly? I do think we need to get to the bottom of how this slipped by.
-
Think we can interact without the name calling?
-
Why wouldn't it. With this slim of a majority you need some compromise, and those 8 are not having it.
-
Why? We have a 9 member majority and 8 of them voted McCarthy out. That means the next speaker would be a slave to those 8 members and have to do exactly what they wanted.
-
Not gonna lie......this was a stupid move on the Republicans part.
-
I honestly don't get it. We always seem to do this...... There should be no Republican who thinks this was a win.....Any speaker will be limited on what he can get done with such a small majority.

1. They refuse 2. They refuse 3. They refuse -that is my issue with solutions, there are not many.....and to force someone to do what they don't want to do is slippery slope. .... Real Life Example: My father lived to 1 month before his 90th birthday, Always a VERY independent self made man. At around 85-86 he had no business driving or frankly living alone. We thought for his safety (and others) his license should be revoked and for his well-being he should be in a nursing home. We found out, and I'm glad, it's tough to take away freedoms in this country.....My father was competent enough to say no to both of those issues. As a result, My Father lived the remainder of his life on his terms.......and I hope to do the same. So, what if they say no? Do we have to strip down the constitution?

Where do you put them? People will always feed them. You can't put them in prison......and even if you could, we don't have the space

This is equivalent to the immigration issues,,,,,,what do you do with ALL of them? Upfront I don't have an answer to the homeless problem, but all in one place versus in my backyard sounds good to me. I spent the weekend in Austin. We were near South Congress. We spent an afternoon "scootering" around the area/parks on these electric scooters. (that is a blast BTW)....but the homeless was EVERYWHERE. You could smell the urine in some locations. People sleeping everywhere. Beaumont is no where near that, but they could be in near future....... And people question why people are leaving Beaumont and populating these smaller surrounding towns.....

The interview with Tucker has reached 5.8 million views @tvc184, have you watched the Tucker interview. If things paxton said are true, not sure it was as black and white as some suggest. -

How is he getting/offered a plea deal if the victim wants to go to trial? I thought that was up to the victim, -
There seems to be a little confusion on these PPP loans. While I'm not an expert, I happen to know the qualifications of what it took to get the loans, and what they could be used for........I processed about 300 of these loans. 1. You could only receive 2.5% of your average monthly payroll cost. 2. If received the funds had to be spent in 24 weeks. If not spent, whatever is left would not be forgiven. 3. 60% of those funds must be spent on payroll, the other 40% on rent/business mortgage and utilities. You cannot layoff or fire any employees and you needed to keep documentation of all payments. So when applying, the business had to submit payroll records to calculate the 2.5. The cash businesses were negatively effected because they didn't have records. Also, no where on the form did it ask which political party you supported..... BigGirl, did you also notice it didn't pay the business owner unless he documented a paycheck?...., which most small business owners do not...... Simply put, the PPP loans paid the salaries of employees who would of been fired because the government forced business owners to shut down......and who's fault is that? The Government

As a musician it sucks you have to worry about crap like this….we typically load in/out in Alleys…..

His Dad blamed the school and the coaches instead of his parenting and his Son’s own behavior……that is what I got out of it

He's probably celebrating the 264 million views his Trump interview received, or the 12.9 million views of his last interview.....or anticipating the number of views he gets interviewing the man who claims he had sex with Obama (after one hour, already at 4.3 million views. It's OK you don't like Tucker, but insulting the man personally instead of addressing the subject of his interviews is typically what the extreme left does. I've watched all of his interviews.....he's a journalist and ask questions......verus debating his guest like CNN......I have always thought journalist ask questions and political hacks posing as journalist debate their guest......am I wrong? Should Journalist argue points with peple they are interviewing?

Age Limits For Political Office - Part 2
thetragichippy replied to DonTheCon2024's topic in Political Forum
When Dad hit 84 or 85, we were trying to get him to stop driving. Around that same time his drivers license was up for renewal. We (his kids) kind of celebrated in our head because we knew there was NO WAY he would pass the vision test, plus he was starting to struggle just simply walking.....but he was determined........ I'm not sure how he did it, but he passed and got his license renewed......to this day I think he memorized the eye chart or something....... I agree with you but the test should be a actual driving test...... -
Age Limits For Political Office - Part 2
thetragichippy replied to DonTheCon2024's topic in Political Forum
I'm not sure I believe in age discrimination...... He is a representative and put in office by the people.....maybe shorter terms, but the people put him in office -
I'm extremely fair....and sad part, I was not the one that gave him his last time out.....
-
You don't even pay attention to who gives you the time outs? That was not me......could of been, but it was not.

Here's How Trump Beats the Georgia Indictment!
thetragichippy replied to Reagan's topic in Political Forum
"I've never talked to my Son about his business deals" UT, I'm not sure if you have kids, but I do, and I also had a father. My Dad was the most supportive and best Dad anyone could ask for. So, If Biden is the Father he claims, do you really believe he never asked his Son about his business ventures? My income and financial well being was always asked by my Dad. He wanted to make sure I was OK. We all know Hunter was not OK.....You think Biden was silent watching his Kid spiral? There is 5000 emails that Biden used alias email addresses..... I think he lied, and people lie to cover things they don't want you to know.....so, to me, that along with 5000 emails, plus Hunters own admission his Father was sitting next to him during his business deals is plenty evidence to start an investigation.
