So, did you figure out the definition of 'reinvest' or not?

You really have a lot of work to do on yourself.
Classic narcissistic behavior.
You've been running around saying everyone is brainwashed, but when called on it, and asked to backup that view with facts now I am the one throwing insults?

Of all people who post on this thread, Don't you notice he is the odd one out? He is not normal. You should feel sorry for him. Thats why he is over 50yrs and no child no partner, That he why he posts about phantom GF everytime

If you say you have someone who went to US-Russia meeting , he will tell you one of his GFs was also at the meeting

Imagine someone who's doing well for himself behaviour this online? I don't think anyone will be too angry like that. He is not normal.

Can you look back at the posts before his response?

Imagine everyone took time out of politics to engage in business discussions. No one even cared about whatever sides they were on, they contributed like normal humans. Only one thing will make someone that unhappy, and unhappy life offline.
It's like a support group for people I've recently destroyed.
Raumdeuter instead of wasting your energy on this teenage girl "let's gossip about this person who's smarter and cooler", invest it in actually making your arguments smarter.

You are everything I posted. You think you have a mind for war? I have seen how you have been destroyed time and time again over here. If you really have a life, you wouldn't keep proving me right about your life.

I have seen all you can do, but have you seen what I can do?

You think throwing insults is what a true war looks like?

I chose to ignore you in the past because I do not think attacking each other over ideas and views but you have always wanted a direct war. You can bring your war on please, I want it. Maybe that's the only way this can end.

I know I have given you enough responses to you today to make you feel better, I still have the key to decide how it will end.
Look at every post you write.
You think by repeating something that is untrue it makes it true.
It's the same way you deal with all your discussions here.

I wrote you a lengthy post breaking down all the prosecutions asking you to post prosecutions you thought were selective and biased and the rational.
What did you write.. Nothing.. I'm sure you were drooling on your phone though...
Grow up.
Focus on facts and not that flowery bullshit both sides nonsense.

I see how you've been decimated by people here, I feel for you sometimes but I have seen why they shred you every time, you are always looking for fights even though you get dunked.

I know why you do it though, you try to use it to forget reality, but one thing is sure, you will still log off to face your battles.

You came here with some bullshit theories. You should have been able to vigorously defend them without crying.
You weren't able to defend them and now you are crying and trying to get personal. You're clearly following the path of a loser.
Next time invest some of this energy into initially thinking through the bullshit that is in your head, so you wouldn't be always made to look the intellectual fool.

You want to get personal, just remember I can be a savage intellectually and in any other way when I need to be. Thread carefully.
Better choice is to go back to pretending to ignore me or ignoring me while talking about me or whatever childish shit du jour.

Trump is not a Republican, he is a demagogue. Few years ago he was democrat. Most of his views are not even republican views. I even believed he was planted by the Clintons in the Republican party to scatter our party. He is a close friend of the Clintons, donated to Hillary and they attended his wedding.

He is simply a Trump candidate who represent himself and his fellow racists, Most of the white Blue collar democrats are now going to vote Trump. This shows he is not appealing to Republican but to those who want to take their country back

You always falter at the end to bring in insults but I will ignore.

What about Hunter's drugs issue, the bribery issue and others?

Only you responded because your other fellows understand this but you will never accept.

Trump's J6 issue and other issues. Why did they not prosecute him between 2021-2023? Why wait until he's almost sure of his candidature before pressing the issues?


Like I said before. You guys have never called out one wrongs from your camp but you will still call others names for speaking out.

Isn't that the case of being brainwashed? Not being able to see anything wrong from the programmers?
No, your post is the case of being brainwashed.

I gave you a litany of actual facts about the prosecutions.
You reply with a whataboutism about Hunter's drug issues.
So then,
1.)Why don't you tell me why Hunter Biden should have been charged for the drugs. Include the exact crime, evidence the prosecution had and the statute of limitations on it.
2.) Tell me why he should have been charged with Bribery and evidence the prosecution had. Include the exact crime and the statute of limitations on it.
I'll even help you with #2. There is someone currently sitting in jail right now who pled guilty and was sentenced for 6 years for lying about that Hunter Biden bribery allegation. That is how uninformed you are.

Trump was in fact charged in 2023.
But, you are in fact making my point. If there was selective prosecution it would have been filed early. Cases are complex and take time, but still; Garland wouldn't have waited to file the charges. By waiting it ensured Trump would be able to push them off and play political games with them. Like he did.
I mean Jack Smith even filed the charges in Florida where Trump lives instead of DC where he would of had more favorable judges and a better Jury pool to convict him.
Yeah, sounds like trying to come after someone.

So, you have still not even pointed out one instance of selective prosecution. And went through the details and shown why. Why?
You still have not disputed anything I've posted about Hunter's cases. Why?

Why because you don't know anything about the cases. And you can't because they are fact.
What you know is what you heard on right wing media and allowed to fill your head.
You didn't use your brain.
You didn't do your own research.
You didn't understand what you let fill your mind and what you constantly ramble on about.
That is the essence of someone brainwashed.

So what you do is come here with that brainwashed head of yours generalizing about shit you don't understand.
I called it when you first starting writing.
If you had any iota of evidence Biden's DOJ was biased you would have presented it like I did.
But you don't.
So shut the fuk up about it and stop pretending you're nothing more than a Right wing parrot.
All you have is generalized BULLSHIT.

Yeah, the Biden admin wasn't politicized but they started pushing for cases against a man who was their political opponents.\
You mean they investigated a guy who broke laws and then dared the DOJ to come after him by committing obstruction making it hard for them not to.
A man who then decided to run for President as a way to stay out of jail when they did.
You can search for my post her, when I said that I was 100% sure he was going to run for President where some people said he wasn't.
I said the singular reason being he wanted to stay out of jail.
He did run and he is out of jail.

As much as I dislike the leadership style of Trump, this alone should make any neutral person to look deep into the mortality of the Dems.

As for Hunter, this case was only taken to court when it became exposed beyond the cover and it was apparent that the FBI had kept the cases out of the public themselves. How do you claim neutrality with the way things went about Hunter from 2020-2024? Even the end of it all was distasteful to even career democrats. The pardon? After he had made some declarations as better? Why would he even pardon his own family members? No one is even talking about this.
1.) Hunter's first case was a Gun Case. They said he lied on a gun form about being an addict, bought a gun, had it for1 day and then threw it away.
There are few cases where any person was charged with this crime who hadn't committed a violent crime or was arrested for some sort of felony drug distribution.
In fact this case was so ridiculous, the gun owner who sold Biden the gun, forged the gun form. What did he get? A plea deal to tesitfy against Hunter Biden.
Biden's original plea deal that was overturned was even harsher than anyone in a similar situation would get.
Now how do I know this?
I read a lot of the court filings. I researched similar cases. And I read articles from non partisan career prosecutors who prosecuted similar case.
Can you find many similar cases where someone was prosecuted for lying on the form without a concurrent charge for a violent offence or a drug distribution one? No you can't.

2.) Hunter Biden's tax case
Again, he was prosecuted harsher than anyone else in his similar situation.
There are relatively few cases where someone has paid back the taxes he owed and still been prosecuted criminally.
Most aren't prosecuted at all and if anything happens it's a civil case.
Look up Trump's friend Roger Stone's case.
He owed more money to the IRS than Hunter did. They brought a civil case against him to get him to pay the taxes.
How do I know?
Again, I read a lot of the court filings. I researched similar cases. And I read opinions from non partisan people who have prosecuted similar cases.
Do you have many similar cases was someone was prosecuted even though they paid back their taxes? No you don't.

3.) Trump's Jan 6th Case.
That was inevitable yet still slow walked by Merrick Garland.
Just go and watch what Republican Mitch McConnel said during Trump's impeachment.
He said there were criminal remedies to handle this. McConnel is not a Democrat.

4.) Trump's Document case.
Biden's DOJ gave Trump every opportunity to turn over the documents.
It wasn't until Trump committed obstruction, lied about having the documents and directed his employee Nauta to lie and hide them did the DOJ have to prosecute.
Trump dared them and by the rule 'no-one is above the law', they had to take him to task.
Again, this was slow walked and every opportunity given to Trump to turn over the documents he took.

The so-called media houses are all jokes. They control what people should hear and they have even made a statement like that in the past. CNN, Fox, CNBC, AP and others are the same .
Let's be honest, the media is the brainwashing machine of the Dems and GOP.
Whatever is going on now is a fruit of the root that was planted since 2020.
You can't use a system to frustrate others in the past while crying foul when the same system is being used against you in the future.
You see the difference between you and I?
You are exactly what you are complaining about.
You've let propaganda and right wing media fill your head.
Did you research the cases? No
Did you read opinions from non partisans who prosecuted such cases? No?
Do you even know the actual details of the cases? No?

Do you have any reporting from anyone that Biden even spoke to Garland about these cases or directed him to go after Trump. No. Cuz he didn't.
I'm sure if he did, he would have told him NOT TO PROSECUTE HIS fking SON.

What you do do is claim to be in the Middle while spewing right wing talking points.
Spare Me.
If you want to be in the Middle, go be informed so you cans speak from some facts.

The media madness of 2020 upwards changed my mind about many things.

Right now, as an Independent, I don't care what the Dems cry about, they should face what they dished out to others but used the media to paint them as beautiful.

Some of the people making noises here supported same thing when the last administration did them.

Hypocrites everywhere.
Posts like this show why the US is trouble.
You've heard the Biden DOJ was politicized but haven't seemed to have used your own wisdom to understand if it was the case.
Attorney General Garland was weak and dithered.
Biden regretted appointing him.
They even prosecuted the son of a sitting President months before an election on charges most people wouldn't even be charged for.
There is no comparison between Biden's presidency and what Trump has done these few weeks alone.
You can just compare how many Assistant Attorney Generals resigned under Biden vs. Trump.
The ADA Trump appointed to look over the NY office resigned as she thought the Trump DOJ was politicizing that office.

People say if Fox News existed when Nixon committed his crimes, he would have never been impeached.
Posts like this make me believe it.
The amount of disinformation that has seeped into the US consciousness is mind blowing.

Hegseth the defence secretary proposed a cut, which Republican countered it? It was Chris Coons a Democrat who countered it
This is coons full statement.
These cuts are not just ‘low impact items’ — they will impact troop readiness, research and development into cutting-edge weapons systems, and even hang our special operations forces out to dry, all so that President Trump can fund his useless ‘Star Wars’ missile defense program. Republicans are slashing defense spending right to the bone, and [Vladimir] Putin and Xi [Jinping] are celebrating.”
Looks like you didn't read it.
This isn't a cut, this is a cut of certain programs so Trump can spend it on the "Star Wars" missile defense program which most people think is not worthwhile.
So the Defense budget will largely remain the same except cuts to programs that would have better Defense objectives than "Star Wars".

Dems have always been for Defense Budget cuts. Republicans have run on Democrats being weak on Defense because of them for time immemorial.

Oya the cut Pentagon budget cut Pentagon budget is here

Same intellectual dishonesty.
Republicans(who control both houses) have a budget this year that increases Pentagon Spending.


From the article you posted:
The scale and speed of the cuts, totaling $50 billion, marks a dramatic shift in U.S. defense policy and will likely set up a battle with Congress, where Republicans had planned to increase Pentagon spending as part of a package aimed at enacting Trump’s broader agenda.

In the memo, Hegseth outlines cuts that are twice as severe as the sequestration budget reductions imposed in 2013 — the last major cuts to the Defense Department — and equivalent to double the amount that congressional Republicans had planned to add to the Pentagon budget.

The memo does not protect weapons systems that the Pentagon had previously designated as among its most critical, including Columbia-class submarines that are set to enter service within the next decade, space-based systems, a range of manned aircraft, as well as troop deployments to a number of regions, including Europe and the Middle East.

He was fine with the cuts as long it was somebody else.
Sux for him he was actually that "somebody else".

A Northern Virginia couple is hashing out their next steps after the husband, a 13-year, disabled military veteran and nearly two-year information technology technician with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was fired Monday, as part of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to shrink the federal workforce.

“I voted for Donald Trump. But this is not what I was expecting,” he said. “We didn’t think they were going to take a chainsaw to a silk rug.”

The man’s wife said they also believed his 13 years of military service in the Navy and Air Force Reserves, with an honorable discharge as an E-4, would have offered him more protection against DOGE cuts.

“I recognize there are a lot of cuts that need to be made, but this is not the one that you think will happen to your family,” she said. “I encouraged him to take the job there, because he loved working for the agency, and I think it has a good mission.”

Clearly a mistake. /s

The DOGE website initially included a screenshot from the federal contracting database showing that the contract’s value was $8 million, even as the DOGE site listed $8 billion in savings. On Tuesday night, around the time this article was published, DOGE removed the screenshot that showed the mismatch, but continued to claim $8 billion in savings. It added a link to the original, incorrect version of the listing showing an $8 billion value.

By Wednesday morning, DOGE had updated its list to show $8 million in savings, though it did not acknowledge the error or explain how it might affect its calculation of total money saved, which remained unchanged. A loss of $8 billion in savings would represent nearly 15 percent of the total savings claimed by DOGE.

Republican Susan Collins says funding freezes are unconstitutional.
But Susan Collins does what she does best - seeming concerned about Trump policies while doing nothing and supporting them.

You seem to have missed the important words "your party" and "some" in the quote you mentioned.
Get back to me when Trump actually does something beyond an executive order looking for policy recommendations.
And your party supports him in doing so.
Until then, there is nothing in what you've written that calls into quesiton my post.

IjeBos:
The problem is your party isn't against extreme abortion measures. That's why it's an issue. Some are talking about a Fed. abortion ban. IVF ban. Birth control ban. Pretty nutty stuff. And they are abusing the Judicial system to do so.
