I will compare those “ false claims” to the outright lie that Biden spread about the 4 border gaurds on horseback whipping migrants. And he knew it was a lie when he was saying it . That is a new low even for Joe. And the constant lies about social security and Medicare. The dems and their ally , the media, are gearing up for 2024 and sharpening their method of operation . ( discrediting anybody that doesnt tow their line for them and manipulation of states voting rules and the way they collect votes). That’s the only way they can win a national election, as witnessed in November 2020. I will give credit to David for getting thru a post without mentioning Trump. Well done.

Trump is so hated by the left that he is probanly the right man for the job. I am okay with Haley or Pompeo too. Heck, almost anyone else. We all know Biden is nothing but a globalist puppet and globalization will take us down. Explains perfectly our open border. A country without borders is easy penetrated. In layman's terms, duh

The biggest problem I have is the attempts to undermine Zelensky and US support for Ukraine at CPAC.

Superpacs are not required to disclose their donors, thanks to Citizens United.

The NRA was blatantly caught accepting Russian money, then Giullinan associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were both prosecuted for the same thing, several GOP superpacs and politicians were forced to return that money.

Then the FBI's McGonigal was busted working for Putin just weeks ago.

These are only what we know of, despite Superpac's not having to disclose their donors.

I am NOT looking to target the GOP, but to say that we already know they have made payments to political interests here to sway US foreign policy.

There are more examples of Russian money being funneled into the U.S. and until we do something about Superpac's allowances for secrecy, there's no reason to not invoke critical thinking any time a US politician openly favors a foreign adversary.

It has to stop, and for those who think I'm "attacking" the GOP, imagine what happens when China starts funneling money into Superpacs.

What about Chinese, Iranian or North Korean governments, or the Islamic State?

What would we do if, out of the blue, members of Congress started promoting Sharia law?

I honestly believe that current members of Congress are doing Putin's bidding, and if it's not dealt with it WILL get a lot worse, and it won't just be Putin either.

Maybe true Mark, politicians are some real slippery weasels, but as much as you believe some in the GOP are doing Putins bidding, many, many people believe Biden and some democrats are doing chinas bidding, just look at the tons more f cash Hunter got paid by China and Ukraine among others. And believe me I’m not attacking democrats…

I'm absolutely fine with any potential conflicts being scrutinized, regardless of party, though in the case of Hunter, whatever they find on his laptop will have been attained illegally.

Hunter may well have a "Gawker V Hogan" situation on his hands, he could make a killing in lawsuits. Though I'd be curious if anything's found, sure.

That said, I stand by my point, we have a serious problem in America, money to politicians is bribery, not free speech, and at the very least we have the right to know who's bribing who.

Superpac secrecy is a serious problem, a serious security threat.

first of all , because hunter failed to pick up his property( his computer) in a timely manner as specified on the work order issued for that computer and hunter got a copy. Failing to pick up your property results in said property becoming the property of the person that performed the action on the work order. ..so hunter has no claim to ownership now. … As far as the bribery charge I am more concerned with Biden wanting tax payers to pay off billions of dollars in student loans, that comes off as bribery to most people. And his stance on not securing the border could be seen as bribery for future votes.Millions of them… I agree that we should make transparent all donations to politicians and the party they represent…. And maybe those who pay 100s of thousands of dollars to own one of hunters paint by number or spit paint masterpieces shouldn’t be treated like top secret to keep those names from being released…

Nothing, compared to the crap spewed by Democrats.
I guess it could simply be called "a politician thang".

To quote a Democrat; "There's not a dime's worth of
difference" between the Democratic and Republican parties.

I have zero respect, for either, of our two major
political parties.

All the same batch of weasels.

I've been to 4 Trump rallies... I've been a political person, probably my whole life. But after Biden got "elected" and nobody did anything about a stolen election, I kind of withdrew from it all. I'll still vote, but maaaan... I kind of am just looking for another country... A heavenly one :grin:
