Back in the 1990s, Gordon Liddy used to have a radio show.  He was very right wing.  Much of his airtime was him interviewing former service members, and callers saying to him "What an honor it is to speak with you Mr. Liddy" like he was Audie Murphy or something.  

Anyway, about half his show was dedicated to him reading new stories verbatim from right leaning news sources - primarily the Washington Times.  Almost every story was an example of some democratic politician doing something Liddy and the newspaper deemed stupid and that both openly mocked.  He'd read the news story and his "comment upon" it was usually one word adjectives "Jeesh", "Pathetic", "Unbelievable", "Sickening", "Sad" - you get the drift.  

Anyway, our very own Quaker seems to subscribe to this Groundhog's Day version of renewed daily outrage.  Reminds me of Liddy actually - predictable, narrow, without much growth.

I kinda miss the daily stock market updates as well. 

Or, the posting on the various industry sites on new construction that is occuring.

I guess my US con-law is a bit rusty...I didn't think Congress had the power to fire or impeach generals and cabinet members?

I think that is an open question actually. I think Congress can impeach nearly anyone in the Executive Branch. It just makes little sense in many cases as the person usually just resigns. 

Also, when you agree with Ann Coulter....

Trump REPEATEDLY demanded that we bring our soldiers home, but only President Biden had the balls to do it.

If the  economy goes up during Trump, it's because of him.  If it goes up during Biden, it's in spite of him.  Economics 101.

I was told you were an experienced informant.  I am sure you have your sources.

Can't wait to see "moderate" Ptown's take... But most people will land somewhere between Biden had an uninformed and incompetent command of the situation, and asking a foreign leader to deceive the international community and American people in order to provide political cover for Biden's bungling.

He's not president anymore.  

He literally had 4 years to get us out of there and didn’t. So miss me with the impeach Biden. At least he got us the fu k out of there. It def didn’t go well as has been stated. But for trump and his Crowd to walk around taking victory laps in the failure is laughable

I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying about Trump .  He bitched for 15 years about the failure of the “forever war” in Afghanistan and then did nothing of positive impact when he became president .  And yes he’s full of revisionist history now that he’s preaching to his followers and outside the responsibility of the office.  

But Biden failed mightily and no amount of “well, but Trump never…” can change that.  At least he got us out?  Yeah, like someone beating their head with a hammer to stop an itch.  “At least he stopped it”

Well the first place to start is with Justin.  If that don't work I guess you could seek out overlords to bend his knee.  Or you could do something as simple as providing your own legit argument like others have.

The coping of Biden’s failure is sad and pathetic. If the best you can do is bring up Trump to defend Biden, then it’s not really a strong argument, especially when Biden played a big part of this 20 year shit show prior to taking office. I am not surprised to see certain people pretend he just inherited this mess though. 

 It’s ok to admit the Biden Administration completely failed with this withdrawal.  Anyone who actually paid attention to the Biden campaign is not shocked by how these events took place. They literally ran on “we are not Trump,” and hid from the public for the majority of the time.  That’s pretty much how this administration ran for Biden’s first 7 months in office as well, until all of this erupted.  They weren’t meant to be in the spotlight making tough decisions and answering (for once) tough questions.  This past month has done nothing, but confirm it. They are just not good at this job. Biden’s grade as a commander in chief is currently a F. Hopefully he improves that grade in the next 3.5 years considering lives will be on the line. 

This is by no means an endorsement for Trump. He should have withdrawn during his 4 years, but he played politics with the withdrawal.  I naively thought TDS would go away with Trump gone, but it looks like some people need therapy to let it go.

You've always kinda been the one who blows shit off and makes fun of stuff. You legit seemed pissed off at the world anymore. Hope nothings too bad going on right now. I appreciate the work you do here, fwiw, even tho i know that doesnt mean shit lol. 

I mean, I definitely still make fun of stuff, but sure, I do doompost a bit as well. I appreciate the concern, but I'll be fine. Or I won't, I can't predict the future.
