If you can't say anything intellectual, better call the poster with the lawfully factual response "nonsensical" and post a Youtube video because you can't form your own thoughts on the matter....


*slow claps*
I don’t have to when you have nothing by boneheaded news corporation to parrot, never look at anything objectively says all I need to know. So much for your own intellectual capacity., or is parroting your party all you know?

Go on, show us how wrong you are once again. Thanks 😁

You do know there are many ways to obtain soundbites without watching Fox and do not have to be in the living room all the time like yourself? I guess you never knew and that is why you come off as someone ten years behind the times, oh well....

A soundbite of.... Fox News.

You must be getting "dimwitted" and "dense" if you thought playing semantics was going to get you off the hook.

Try again.

OK, let me get this straight. 

You repeat what Weepy says just about every time s/he posts on a political topic, sometimes almost verbatim. Then you constantly post "corporate News" clips from Youtube without so much as giving me your own opinion on things without said aforementioned "parroting's" when asked directly, all the while accusing others of it.


I would ask again because I genuinely wanted to know -but I won't. The intellectual capacity of your 'logic'  is truly something to behold and has left me contemplative, mostly on if I should reconsider my stance on after-birth abortions.

BEHOLD !!!

I am Pen!s envy, destroyer of women's happiness.

Yep, you sure are dimwit and bout as dense as they come.

Okay, let me get this straight. You and fs repeat what the other says “ad nauseam” and all from the talking heads at Fox, and now you’re asking me what you actually do?

Wanna try again afterbirth?

I don’t answer to you and you definitely are dense when you don’t even bother to look at things objectively instead of seeing things with your spin of sorry azz vitriol and bias. Do come at me with the facts, or is this all you’re ever capable of doing?

Top of the morning to you, parrot! 😂

Your whole argument rests on the assumption of me actually watching Fox News.   Unlike Weepy who signaled he did, I don't.

Don't you both look foolish about now.

"Do come at me with the facts, or is this all you’re ever capable of doing?"

Project much?

wow .... I don't watch fox either.
I'm more of a reader that reads many sources.

I find things that interest me and go digging.
That's where my opinions come from.

Here's a list of both parties being investigated .....

Just as much as you do because you have yet to bring anything of significance besides your vitriol of spin. Well, spin away!

Try again?

Thanks for the link that I’ll be studying up on.

However, I wish to point out that I already knew how corrupt both sides are and have pointed this out, as not even I am keen on Hillary Clinton and some others on both sides that literally allowed GWB to walk away from his high crimes. Just as our same old Speaker of The House, one Nancy Pelosi did when she was in control. They could’ve gone after GWB when he was out of office, but didn’t. I wonder why. Huh, I wonder.

I wonder how much Trump and his team of corporate fat cats have paid her off to let the Cheeto man fly scot-free, only time will tell.

I don’t trust her one bit and she should never have been rebranded as speaker cause she had her chance to show some honesty, yet she through all that right out of the window.

Oh, and one more thing I’d like to add here is the fact how you blatantly ignore the crimes of this president and the spin you always offer are fox and other conservative outlets excuses that I myself have heard all to well.
So while I’ll give you the benefit of doubt on the article you’ve show, yet you yourself have not come to terms that we already have a well known criminal in the White House the needs to be expelled from his post.

"Wow, does anyone in this administration know anything about NOT making yourself look guilty as hell?"

I think it has more to do with privacy protection under the 4th amendment. Congress doesn't have the right to anyone's tax returns. The oversight rule has more too do with investigating the IRS.

"Yes they indeed do."

They do, but not for the purpose they are doing it now. General warrants or investigating an individual in search of a crime is one of the things we revolted against King George over. A probable cause is needed and the oversight rules, which aren't in the constitution btw, but implied, are for investigating agencies or individuals within an agency who may be something criminal or not carrying out duties intended by Congress.

Probable cause or not, refusing to turn over your tax records (as every other president in modern history has done) looks guilty as hell.

Voluntarily. Otherwise, with force, we have an imbalance of power of the branches. Without cause is a power Congress had given themselves.

It's like a cop that doesn't like you so he's going to dig into your past with the purpose of ruining your reputation without any indication you were involved in any criminal activity. You may not like the man. I don't have much love for his demeanor myself, but it's about lements of the federal government becoming too powerful and authoritarian for me.

Probable cause or not, Trump not having a pet when he entered office (as every other president in modern history has done)  looks guilty as hell -insert unsubstantiated tinfoil hat propaganda here-.


Yes, Der... you look that silly repeating your sentiment over and over.


Are you OK?

Sentiment? It's a principle we were founded on. Unless you think a cop can just walk into your house and search it for no reason at all other than being a wise guy.  Just an oversight, ya know.

Barr could subpoena Nadler's tax returns then. Maybe it'll work out.
