GWB’s group fabricated the intelligence that led to the invasion of Iraq. GWB’s group created the Afghan quagmire and set its government up for failure. They made no attempt to understand the politics of the region before setting up a random warlord as President and sending a couple of college kids to write him a constitution. Culminating in the ‘08 financial crash GWBs entire presidency was a global disaster of seismic proportions, the aftershocks and ramifications of which created the conditions of misery and dissatisfaction that Trump himself capitalised on in his campaigns.

Wait do you mean GWB or GHWB? ‘Cus otherwise it’s like… wut???

Even then the area she disappeared in is well known - and if they’d ever found the wreckage it definitely wouldn’t have been classified. In an odd coincidence the most excellent band Public Service Broadcasting released a whole album about her last year. Not quite as good as their Race for Space album and no rivals to their standout track Spitfire but still pretty cool.

Sounds like they only just managed to squeak through the grand jury. Only 14 out of 23 jurors approved the 2 charges that were confirmed, and the 3rd was rejected. This is going to be a very embarassing episode for the administration when it hits the courts for real. Pam Bondi was right to be hesitant - end of the road for her tenure when the inevitable train wreck happens? And in the 'are we sure this is a purely political witch hunt?' stakes - not a single DOJ professional was willing to be associated. The charges were presented by Lindsey Halligan, Trump’s former personal attorney and the new top prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia. She was not accompanied by any career prosecutor and is the only Justice Department official who signed the charging documents. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/25/politics/james-comey-justice-department-trump-bondi-perjury-virginia

Eh'd? Uh Rich... what do you think "o'd" means?

Do you think he cares, though? How does he get directly hurt by evidence in a trial? Thanks to the rampant corruption of the Republicans on the Supreme Court he has absolute immunity from any charges that would result, and in terms of PR his followers and client media will flat out ignore anything that reflects badly on him while taking the allegations against his opponents as gospel. BTW, when it comes to retribution, Trump made sure that James Comey's daughter was fired from her position as a federal prosecutor earlier this year. A woman who (I assume) has a family and a mortgage losing her livelihood overnight for no reason other than retrbution against her father. Just imagine the pettiness, the vindictiveness, the willingness to abuse government power for personal reasons, frankly the absolute lack of understanding that he is supposed to act in the interests of the government and the people rather than the government existing to serve him that goes into doing something so low.

You’re against DEI but you choose who to pay attention to based on their race? Fascinating.

That’s easy. When Floyd was murdered the right said he was a shithead scumbag druggy and it was his own fault he was murdered but really he wasn’t even murdered anyway. When Charlie was murdered the right said it should be illegal to speak ill of the dead.

The GSA also sent nearly 800 lease cancellation notices to landlords but failed to inform some government tenants of the notices. The leases of 131 federal buildings expired without the government departing, incurring fees that are passed on to taxpayers. Lol, such a genius that Elon guy is.

Why did you post the article with no supporting comment when you had no idea whether anything it said was remotely worth repeating? Is it maybe because you hadn't learned your lesson from your OP and you just posted it because you thought the headline supported your preconceived idea? 'All' of them would be a ludicrously high bar. Just because you didn't explictly say that every single instance of political violence was from the left doesn't mean your OP wasn't based on extremely biased misinformation. After all, there was a line in the OP: "The left are the ones..." I gave you numerous examples of very famous incidents of political violence that you were completely ignorant of when you developed the message in your OP. You have a funny way of saying 'thank you'. And that's the thing, it's not the tone of your OP I'm talking about, it's the message. The message that the left are 'the' perpetrators of political violence, the left are 'the' people celebrating and promoting it and the left are the side that can't tolerate any deviation from the central party line (I guess that means the term RINO is something that had passed you by too). You still haven't really acknowledged that those accusations were all false and you only made them because you hadn't bothered to do any research yet. So you get how the tone and message of your OP, focussed as it was on specifically blaming one side for the spread of political violence, was completely antithetical to what you now say is your goal? You get how the title of this thread conveys the absolute opposite message to what you claim to aim for? Don't you think it might aid the pursuit of your goal to take a moment to make it clear that your reason for starting the thread and what you said in your OP was just plain wrong and ill-informed?

Why did you break forum rules to post an article without any comment when it turns out you thought it was wrong anyway? Not killings though, which was the premise of your OP. So as I asked, this is your mea culpa for how stunningly misguided and ill-informed your original intent in starting this thread was, right?

What kind of soulless bastard would want to be raptured if their dog couldn't come too?

In the past decade in the United States, 36 left-wing attacks have killed 13 people, whereas 152 right-wing attacks have killed 112. I take it this is your mea culpa for how stunningly misguided your original post was?

Great news everyone, we've found the reason for the recent sudden rise in autism diagnoses - a ubiquitous 150 year old painkiller! Yeah, these guys are serious people.

Choose what wisely? Why? Be more specific.

You are ignoring reality to suit your narrative. And again, no ill was spoken of Charlie Kirk by Kimmel in the comments that the government decided were unnacceptable. None whatsoever. You really should put quotation marks or something around the passages you copy and paste instead of trying to make it look like you're capable of writing them. You wouldn't want to be accused of plagiarism, would you?

That is exactly it. Whatever anyone thinks about whether Kirk should be criticised right now - Kimmel didn’t criticise him. At all. The only things he said regarding Kirk were to criticise JD Vance for spouting evidence free conjecture about the shooter, and to criticise the Republicans in general for politicising the situation. that’s what they couldn’t stand, and that’s what you’re going to get in Donald Trump’s free speech utopia - the chair of the FCC threatening to take your station off the air if you criticise the Republican Party.

Again - you brought it up. No one else mentioned it.you are the only person in this thread who has been trying to use her ideas. I can only imagine as a distraction from a discussion that wasn’t going your way.

He was never apolitical in a personal capacity, he was a registered Republican - and that’s while he was director of the FBI. Now you’re disappointed that he’s expressing a political opinion while purely a private citizen? Lighten up, Francis! As for Brown - whatever his history, according to your source he was currently on bail for a non-violent offence. Why should he have been denied bail in this instance? That’s like saying Trump should have been denied bail in the documents case because he might have raped someone while he was free and awaiting trial.

Like JFK. Everyone knew exactly what happened and why, no messing around whatsoever. Ah, the good old days.

I guess he’s making the point that right wing criminals are more likely to be hopeless recidivists while left wing criminals are more open to rehabilitation? Not quite sure why though.

It worked, didn’t it? Shameless sycophancy as trade for power doesn’t make them clowns. That’s just a coincidence

That's not a link to a post on this site. So when did people here use guilt in the debate? Certainly this time around you brought it up outta nowhere.

Bail is the release of suspected criminals back onto the street in advance of trial. That's what bail means. That's what it has always been.

So when you were bitching and moaning and crying about that you really just needed to lighten up?
