Well, just when you think the desperate Dems can't get any more ridiculous, they go and gin up a fake scandal to begin a fake impeachment inquiry (before actually having any evidence- AGAIN)..... but then Trump ruins it by releasing a record of the conversation, which is far worse for Biden than Trump. So the whole "he's hiding something/cover-up tactic" falls apart immediately. It was classic Trump.

But to then take it to yet another level of ridiculousness, the Dems then actually defend the Biden's blatant corruption. Yes, while Biden was Vice President of the United States, his black sheep son (fired by the Navy for being coke head, for Christ's sake!, and then leaves his wife for his dead brother's wife) is hired by a Ukrainian Petroleum Company to sit on their board, for a measly $600K/year. With zero- that's right- ZERO experience in the field. Hmmm. And then Biden is caught ON TAPE bragging about withholding money from the Ukraine unless they get a prosecutor to stop investigating the company. Unbelievable. Biden is done, in case you aren't aware of it yet.

Let's not forget how silly the CIA "whistleblower" story is. Second and third hand information? Are you kidding me? Or how silly it is that the form that the "Whistleblower" used was just recently modified to not include a "first hand information" section, which typically carries the bulk of the weight toward making the account credible. It was changed in August. LOL. Nothing to see here though- totally normal- just a big coincidence I'm sure.

Then Adam Schiff literally makes up what he wanted people to think the transcript says, and reads it to Congress and the American people as what Trump said. It was amazing. Crazy times we're living in. It was great to watch Nunes sit right next to Schiff and call him out for being a lying scumbag, and congratulating he and the Dems on their "latest information warfare campaign against the president".

Following up on last month's IG recommendation to indict Comey, early this month the same IG also recommended indicting McCabe for his role in misleading investigators regarding the HRC Foundation probe. Little by little, it's all being proven what we on the Right have known for 3 years now- The FBI worked to help HRC elude charges for actually breaking the law, and worked to harm the Trump administration by spying and setting up Trump allies. This should offend any honest American. Unfortunately, TDS has infected much of the country, so they simply deflect and lie.

Lewandowsky testimony was hilarious. Even the CNN/MSNBC talking heads were saying Nadler and Co. "look like they don't know what they're doing" and have "allowed Lewandowsky to embarrass them again." How many more of these idiotic shows are we going to have to endure?

You guys see Avenatti is now suing Stormy Daniels? LOL! Some of the wackos on this thread thought he should run for president. Another good call that they're now surely just blocking out of their tiny minds.

Mueller did NOT come (despite several opportunities, and a lot of desperate begging, to do so).

Barr and Durham ARE coming.

The Clown is STILL Flagpole.

Current status of Flagpole’s Flagpole streak: 44+ months

Oh man- yet ANOTHER month here? This thread is now simply a self-help group for desperate, whiny Liberals living in fantasy land. Seriously, go back over the months and read some of what Clownpole, Agip, Trolldude, Fat Guy, etc. have been posting here. It's pure lunacy! How many times are they going to continue to get kicked in the balls with reality, and come back asking for more? Unfathomable.

Anyway, you Libs still holding out hope for that pesky little thing called "evidence" in the "impeachment" show? LOL! Why's everything being done in secret interviews now? Perhaps because the public testimony theatrics of the past couple years were absurd embarrassments (Kavanaugh fake story, Cohen, the Mueller elderly abuse, the Lewandowsky massacre, etc)?! Ya think that's it?! LOL- Silly, silly people.

It was good to see Biden's son finally drop from that Chinese company's board. Must've been hard for him though, being such a global business expert. LOL

Big news this month, was the DURHAM and BARR probes. Yep- unlike the Russiagate conspiracy show (which I mocked from day 1, mind you, and was proven 100% correct) the Durham investigation has transitioned to an actual CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION now. Why do you think that is? Hmmm. In conjunction with the FISA Abuse investigation being fully redacted..... Let's just say you Libs are going to be really, really mad very soon. At least you have a place to cry and vent here on LRC.

But arguably BIGGER news this month, was Trump's direction over the successful mission to finally get Al-Baghdadi AND his potential successor. Just as everyone is crying to leave troops in Syria, and that ISIS is "re-emerging" (they literally have lost 99% of their land- LOL), Trump delivers a massive blow WHILE helping to negotiate a cease-fire with Turkey.

Illegal border crossings continue to be WAY down since Trump's threat to tariff Mexico (took a whole 3 days- LOL).

The US economy continues to churn higher, and Wall Street is taking notice (setting all-time highs as I type).

The US-China trade agreement talks have made great progress since China tried to make Trump blink by manipulating their currency a few months back. Didn't work. Trump threatened to increase tariffs even more, and China came back to the table last month like the punks that they are. The China economy has slowed to under 6% for the first time in a long, long time.

What does this all mean for Liberals? Well, continued crying, whining, and speculation. And of course, yes, that we must notch another month for Flagpole's Flagpole Streak.

Mueller was a hilarious spectacle that will go down as one of the biggest Flagpole's in political history.

Barr and Durham ARE coming.

The Clown is STILL Flagpole.

You're getting a little carried away about EV cars in California. I live in California and rarely see any. They represent about 5% of car sales in the state.

You probably aren't looking for them. I live in Georgia where the share is less than 2% and I see EV's every day (not just mine). They look just like any other car, so you don't notice if you aren't looking for them.

In California, it's about 5% of all sales now. That number keeps growing and growing year after year. The main problem right now is supply. There is far more demand than supply for electric vehicles. But supply will catch up.

On top of that, there is growing momentum for a ban on new sales of gasoline cars. I'm guessing the ban will go into effect around 2030, but it could be sooner.

So when I say in a few years, most Californians won't buy gasoline, that's a pretty safe bet.

If California is so bad, why do so many people want to live there? The population keeps rising.

The fact is, California is so wonderful that people keep moving in. That causes housing prices to skyrocket, which unfortunately, leads to homelessness.

Most of California's problems are due to its success.

Your explanation of what causes homelessness is outrageously naïve. How old are you?

Population growth in California has been almost exactly in line with the U.S. median state growth over the last decade. This, despite all the legal/illegal immigration and all of the enormous positives related to great weather, geography and pockets of incredible minds that create things we all love. Outside of those pockets, California is struggling to maintain it's status.

A friend of mine lives in the suburbs of San Francisco. Very high density living, very high costs. Last time he came to visit us in our particular Midwest/Great Lakes state, we were driving around our downtown area, and he said "it's amazing how much better the quality of life is here for what you pay." I know how much he makes. It's a lot. But if you do the CoL calculator from SF to our city, it's basically the same as what I make, but I get much more utility. This really starts to matter when you have kids.

Iggy - I appreciated your initial posts over the weekend because of their substance, you did well to highlight the grievances with both parties. A couple of main differences were in your choice for voting for Trump and how you feel about impeachment now.

1. On voting in 2016 - how did you come to the conclusion that Trump was a better pick? Was it more on basis of Clinton dynasty or were you more encouraged by his promises?

2. On impeachment - you say it's all part of the grand distraction. Given Pelosi was openly hesitant on this topic until now, and the substance of the issue (it's not hearsay that he used those words on the phone call), I don't agree at all. I think Democrats seemed well aware this could embolden the right even more so I don't buy that. I do think there is naturally pressure from the left to investigate him, but it's very warranted. Questions for you - do you think there should be no impeachment investigation at all? If not, what do you think should be the bar for starting one? Also, with the current one, what would you have to see for you to get behind it?

In general, I keep seeing some of the same arguments from people that are against impeachment - the biggest one being that Biden engaged in something similar. But there are obvious glaring differences which you all don't bring up.

1) Biden was not the President, he was a VP, but Trump is.

2) Biden acted openly with the full support of the POTUS, Congress and the EU on dealing with Ukraine in general and specifically. That means it's a big stretch to claim his actions were directly targeted toward bailing out his son. Meanwhile, Trump acted in secrecy and specifically asked for Biden to be looked into, he didn't ask in general for corruption in the country to be investigated. He sent Rudy and gang to engage in black ops diplomacy on his behalf. That is pretty telling of his intentions.

3) Biden's intent is very hypothetical at best - supposedly he just happened to have the chance to fire a prosecutor who supposedly might have been looking into the company that his worked in and supposed there would have been some improper dealings by Hunter??? Those are some very vague dots to try to connect.

4) That Biden bragged about getting the prosecutor fired does not in any way make him guilty, it actually proves there was no covert action to do so. Also that the left-leaning networks have not been focusing on Biden's bragging has no bearing on what trump did.

5) A total of ZERO republicans complained about Biden's action back then, even though they were fully aware of what he did and his son's position on a board would have been well known. Rs have only now started to open their mouths. Yeah, I don't think so.

6) While it was improper for Biden's son to work in a Ukrainian energy company at the time, it was not illegal. If you want to scream on this point then you can't because Trump's nepotism is much more clear.

In the end, this comparison is not only a nonsensical one, what would Biden's actions back then have to do with Trump's now?

Sally, you are a fool and a dumb*ss. Sorry to have to be blunt, but that's just the truth.

1) It is NOT illegal for a child of a famous/powerful person to get a job they probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise. It is bad optics for sure, and I say a conflict of interest, but it is NOT illegal. Matters not how much he was making.

2) The Joe Biden bragging thing is bogus beyond belief. You are a f*cking idiot for believing that has any merit. Hunter was NOT being investigated for any crimes. The prosecutor, whom everyone and their brother wanted removed, was fired for NOT prosecuting anyone. If either Biden was concerned that they did anything wrong, they would want that guy to stay on the job. There is no evidence that either Biden has done anything wrong. Joe Biden was the messenger for this GOVERNMENT POLICY POSITION to get rid of that prosecutor. Your view on this is flat out stupid.

I'm going to take this a step further. At this point, you are just an a$$hole too. This should be a place for REAL discussion, and you bring up this unbelievably stupid sh!t all the time. You bring up debunked stuff all the time. Now, I maintain you are just part troll and the rest stupid (unbelievably stupid), but you are an a$$hole no matter what percentage of troll you are. Now, I don't get mad pretty much ever, and I am not mad at you now, but to be blunt, you are a fool and a dumb*ss and an a$$hole. F*ck you and the horse you rode in on.

Reposting in case Iggy didn't see :)

As always, I invite tzees Sally and Rigged to rebut my arguments as well.
