Trump Indicted. Again.

Greg: "You been hiding under a rock for the last 3 years? You really think a dollar goes as far as it did 3 years ago? Not noticed the inflation? Dont believe there are consequences to printing more money so you can spend more? Seriously?"  i.e. the buying power of the  US dollar now compared to its buying power 3 years ago...the US dollar compared to itself over time. 

Both statements are true.

Dave

That is a valid point David..... I am less however concerned with the global economy than I am with the local one so to speak. Our financial policies do not HAVE to contribute to our own demise. Printing more money in order to spend more is just plain stupid beyond belief and the consequences of it are being felt by everyone. (and not just locally given the US dollar's special status)

I believe the more accurate statement would be "most of the 1850 boxes were his Senatorial archives" which as you point out are not the issue. Its the others from his time as VP and P that are a problem. Assuming you believe Trump's are a problem lol

William Barr On The Trump Indictment

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Given how obvious Barr's hate for Trump is after being fired by him as well as how obviously politically motivated the whole shebang is you got it right....most on the right dont care, even some on the left have spoken up and pointed out the political persecution needs to stop.

And, unlike Trump, Biden has fully cooperated in the investigation rather than obstructing it. Not to mention the sheer volume of the materials eventually recovered from Trump compared to the pittance of that in question from either Pence or Biden.

You really that delusional?..... You quoted what I said and then responded as if I didnt say it. LOL

You guys really buy all this crap lol

It was NO coincidence that they indicted Trump for all these charges on the same day that the shit truly hit the fan for Joe and his son regarding 5 million each from Burisma.....

As I said previously it is highly unlikely they will make a single charge stick. That wasnt the point anyway. This was primarily a big fat smokescreen to keep the REAL news off the front page, with a side dressing of it might help them keep Trump from running if they get lucky. 

But you guys keep on celebrating, its entertaining if nothing else smile

What website fills your head with all this whackadoodle stuff? Seriously, I gots to know!

Your flagrant verbiage describing Mara Lago as "Trump's gold-plated swamp motel" says all one needs to know about you to know conversation would be a waste of time.....lol

Its nothing more than another politically motivated witch hunt just like the impeachments were.....This round is destined for the same result.
