Russia & Ukraine

The burden of proof lays with the accuser. Next time someone makes an accusation, even if you agree with it, ask for proof. Challenging an assertion only strengthens that assertion if proved and if unproven then you need to check your own priors.

Yeah but some things have so much proof, one doesn't need to challenge the assertion. Does one challenge the assertion that Spring follows Winter?

Look at the border.
Look at the Iran deal.
Look at inflation.
....Look at what they're doing.
I mean unless it's all made up... which I doubt it is... Tree is 100% spot on.

Someone here needs some clarity of thought, and it's not me. I don't drink ANY Kool-Aide, from either side. I can only call things based on what I take in, and trust me, it doesn't come from Fox Networks.

Youd make terrible prosecutor. You and tree would win exactly zero cases in front of a jury.

Correlation does not make causation.

Like I said, if you cannot prove your case then you need to check your own priors and ask yourself why you believe in something you cannot prove.

I don’t need to run through the history of it all but to change government is good

What you mean is that to change THIS GOVERNMENT is good.

If you thought that your ilk were doing a good job you would not want to change.

But everything they do is el sucko.

If I had chosen the path of a lawyer, F. Lee Bailey would have come over for cocktails and lovingly called me Daniel Webster Jr.

More likely Wild Turkey. Same idea though.

That... and I'd have NEVER been a prosecutor.
We save that for the bottom 7/8th's of the class that has zero moxy and needs a paycheck.

Could be some crabwalking sideways here.


Ukraine president calls on software giants to stop supporting their products in Russia

Border was as bad as it was under past presidents....no party wants to fix a problem they use to get elected. "Look at the border" is just a soundbyte you are repeating. What... no one was crossing the border in large numbers during trump or obama?

As for inflation.... what exactly did the president do to cause supply chain costs to spike and commoditites to go through the roof. If you believe Biden is to blame for the inflation, do you then also praise him the for large surge in the stock market in 2021? because you either give him credit for everything or for nothing... in between is just hypocritical bias. you cannot pick and choose what you want to blame trump/biden for and what you want to give them credit for...

If you go by the #'s provided, and I have to assume they're factual as they come from ICE and BPS, the border situation is waay worse.
Inflation>>> oil. Across the board. The supply chain was/is transitory. The lousy policy decisions regarding domestic oil production aren't. So I'm not really regurgitating talking points or sound bites. I'm stating facts.
