Have you seen McCarthy's brilliant first bill for the new Congress - dump the funding for the IRS? Well, heck, we can't go after the literally billions in uncollected taxes by his rich pals. And he wants to be another Newt Gingrich.

Once again, you couldn’t have been more on topic. It’s good to see functioning adults in the room.

Because the Murdoch's want the US to fail. They hate the US, in spite of Rupert getting US citizenship in order to buy his own TV network. When you're super rich you are above the law, you can buy the means to turn millions of people into traitors and fascists.

You are above reproach, and you can buy everything you want.

Enjoy Austin everyone!

I agree with everything you said. Look at all the Ivy League-educated Maga-heads like De Santis, Hawley and Kennedy.

Personally, I would be very supportive of a law requiring that American media companies be owned and operated by American citizens without dual citizenship in other nations. If you're going to get rich ruining a country's social fabric, it should at least be one you're fully invested in.

Judge Dearie, the evidence you asked for is: "..a lot of people are saying ______." and "...people are calling [Client Trump] saying ----------------."

the number of people who have sadly fallen out of windows is growing. I think Putin will have to be dealt with by his inner circle in a permanent way.

Sadly, 300,000 people less the ones that don't work out is still a lot of people to drop on Ukraine. It strikes me that the only thing that will really act as a deterrent is NATPO on the ground in Ukraine, The EU may be able to tolerate a cold winter but tolerating radioactivity from either a missile inan existing plant, or by conventional means is an entirely different beast. This is becoming more like Vietnam every day but with Nukes and chemicals.

I'm not a hawk at all but Ukraine is Russia's camel's nose under the tent watching and gauging world intentions. He needs to be dead.

If the Jan 6th committee can't make a criminal referral befor the mid terms, it will dissolve I suspect. We really do have two levels of law here and it's been exposed. One for wealthy dirtbags and one for people without the means to put up a defense.

Trump in Jail? Not at all likely. His handlers? far more likely. Treat him like we would Putin.

I’ll say it again…. Judge Dearie ROCKS! Now maybe we are going to get somewhere! Tick Tock TrUmP your reign as the supreme con man may be up sooner than you think. I see an orange jumpsuit to match the rest of you in your future! I’m an atheist but maybe there is a god.

Merrick Garland's new theme song just dropped: https://youtu.be/XiXb-6j4R98

Either that or we can expect the Apocalypse sometime soon. :~)

And still they follow him? I am no longer trying to figure out why because it makes no sense to me. I have known people with serious drug dependency problems and ones who were followers of Jim Jones. There is little if any difference in the two examples ANF how TFGs people continue to ignore what he really is and continue to support and worship him..

With the Nasdaq below 11k, the DJIA below 30k, and the S&P 500 below the 3900 threshold, I just want to remind everyone here that Wall Street is always trying to sell you *something* that it is at best unsure about, especially when they use terms like "the interest rate hikes are baked into our market forecasts." I sold back in May when these fools couldn't see the writing on the walls yet and were taking their little bear market bounce for a ride over the summer thinking I was chicken little.

Now we're here and it's only going to get worse for the next 2-4 years. I'm buying boatloads of ONEQ index funds when the Nasdaq bottoms out around 9-9.5k next year (should put ONEQ prices around $30-35/share at bottom). Gonna be a wild ride folks. Market is gonna lose another good 10-15% over the next 8-12 months before this starts to turn back around.

Bonus: think about what this market plummet next year will do to the 2024 race, because the unemployment rate is the tail-end indicator that stops shifting last.

A colonel is not the level of military commentator you want. Those guys are retired are Generals and Lt. Generals who've actually commanded troops in Europe. Those of higher rank, who really know what's going on in Ukraine, simply won't go on Fox. If they do, they will become isolated amongst their peers because of Fox's pro-Putin propaganda. The ones you want are Hodges, Hertling, Petraeus, Clark and Stravidus. The problem for the network is they can't attract them due Fox's lies and hypocrisy.

So...how 'bout that livestream last night, eh?

The Murdochs, who were welcomed by us with open arms, have done more to divide our country than anyone. Their propaganda led directly to the election of Donald Trump. We would be a different and better country today had they never come.
