Republican vs Democrat

[ByeShea]

I'm not hiding behind anything. If I'm called to serve, I'm going to serve, not run off to some other country or lie/cheat to get an illegal excuse. As a US citizen, I can't pick and choose which wars I fight. When your number is called, you serve. Both Klitschko brothers are fighting Russia for Ukraine and they're in their 50s. If Muhammad Ali ran for president, I wouldn't vote for him either. Ali's stance was that America didn't recognize him as a black man. He didn't feel free in this country. Why would he fight for a country that didn't believe in him? I can understand that. Trump and his dad made their money in the US. They lived high on the hog. Why wouldn't they serve and protect what they built here? Do you think Trump would die for his country? Of course not. Why do I want that guy?

Not exactly stolen valor, more like borrowed valor.

Anyway, on behalf of SBR I would like to thank you for your possible service someday.

the markets seem to be reacting very negatively to Trump's conviction:

[Hareeba!]

In one of life's fun ironies, only one man in this picture currently has a criminal conviction on his record.

[Hareeba!]

JD Vance says Republicans need to subpoena Judge Merchan and his daughter


Wait so the actions of judges' family members are enough to make them biased?

Thomas and Alito are gonna be mad as heck when they hear about this.

How many times do you think Dems will have to say convicted felon to make a 3.5 year disaster go away Hairy ?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Kidding about you having choices? Everyday you make countless choices don't you?You could make a choice and decide to rob a bank knowing the consequences if caught that you could be jailed and marked as a criminal.You could go to the pub and watch a game, drink way too much, drive home and get a DUI or worse, you could kill someone. Then you will go to prison and be marked as a criminal. You will have ruined people's lives and families.Choices. You make em all the time. Hopefully you will choose not to continue discussing whether you have choices.

So are you recommending Americans to knowingly break laws? First you said there's nothing wrong with sexual assault, now you say don't follow draft laws??? I see why you like Trump so much.

Dwight - it's obvious you don't know a lot about US history. It's okay as you are not a citizen. Some countries execute dodgers and deserters. 200,000+ men were charged with fleeing the US dodging the draft. Another 360,000 fled but weren't formally charged. Most went to Canada like Ali. Thousands of others went to Vietnam, then deserted once they saw what war was like. It's estimated that 50% of these men never came back to the US where they would certainly face arrests. Gerald Ford offered a clemency program, where you could come back, avoid prison but you had to work 2 years of public service. That didn't go over too well. Carter pardoned draft dodgers but never did deserters. The military kept searching for dodgers/deserters into the 2000's.

My dad fought in 3 wars. He was drafted, served then volunteered for more. He hated draft dodgers and deserters. He hated people that illegally found ways to avoid the draft. Most of all, he hated Jane Fonda (Hanoi Jane). It's impossible for you to tell me how I should feel about a guy like Trump.

[COLOR=var(--primary-text-color)][COLOR=var(--primary-text-color)]CAMP PENDLETON — [/COLOR] A 56-year-old man who deserted the U.S. Marine Corps in 1968 and fled to Canada to avoid going to Vietnam was arrested Thursday at a border crossing in Idaho and is being held in the brig here, Marine officials said Sunday.
Allen Abney was arrested after he and his wife attempted to cross into the United States from their home in British Columbia to attend a social gathering in Reno. Abney had made hundreds of crossings into the United States since his desertion without ever logging an incident, Abney’s daughter, Jessica Abney, said Sunday.
This time, a routine computer check showed an arrest warrant for Abney, officials said.
“It was almost 40 years ago” when he deserted, said Jessica Abney, 33, from her parents’ home in Kingsgate, British Columbia. “He’s 56 now and slightly overweight. His whole life is in Canada ... and now he’s paying for a decision he made when he was 18 years old.”

A condom would have prevented this post! ^^


You are allergic to the truth. I never said there's nothing wrong with sexual assault. You are lying.

I also never recommended anyone knowingly break the law. Another untruth. Having said that, we all have broken laws. I am sure you have driven over the speed limit during your life. Who knows what other laws your have knowingly broken.

I have never said or even insinuated anyone should break draft laws. You are making shut up, again.

I like Trump because of his policies.

I don't pretend to be an expert on US history but I do know quite a lot about it. More than many people on this site that's for certain.

My respect for your dad for his service to his country.

As far as that guy from Canada, he may have not had those 38 years of living and a daughter if he did go to Vietnam. All I ever said was that I understand why someone wouldn't want to go over there. I also understand why someone would.

Very sad. It’s really unthinkable the loss, the grief, the sacrifice. I feel for your family.

Thanks buddy. Such a sacrifice indeed. Many posters here served. The ultimate courage.

[Hareeba!]

A president who is not legally allowed to enter virtually any important country worldwide is a total nonstarter.

America would be the laughing-stock of the world with a president who would be completely unable to conduct diplomacy, and his lack of mobility would threaten our national security, let alone being ineligible to obtain a security clearance.

[Hareeba!]

When the Access Hollywood tape dropped, Sen. Mike Lee said in a video:

“I respectfully ask you [Trump] to step down.”

He said if someone spoke to his family members that way, “I would certainly not feel comfortable hiring that person to be the leader of the free world.”

Yet now…

I’m old enough to remember Republicans insisting that even being UNDER INVESTIGATION by the FBI for a crime should be enough to disqualify a person from seeking the Presidency.

Now they’re all in for a convicted felon because they are shameless hypocrites who stand for nothing.

Again, hypocritical two-faced Republicans with double standards complaining, belly-aching, whinin'-n-bitchin' about inflation, economy is bad, blah, blah, blah but yet I'll be damned! More people becoming millionaires while Biden has been President. And it happened without tax breaks for the rich or big corporations. thanks to healthy 401K plans and a booming stock market!...

Dwight you said the following regarding Trump grab assing women.
- Why do you care if a guy likes to grab women? I mean, who doesn't like it? - OMG So what if he grabbed a girl's ass? That's been going on since the beginning of time.
So by your words, do you or do you not condone Trump grabbing a woman's ass???

I never accused you of recommending breaking laws. I merely mentioned that American men had no choice registering for the draft. This was not like driving over the speed limit. You register and when your name is called you go. Else you are a draft dodger. No one wanted to go to Vietnam. Every man wished they could stay home but it was a national duty.

Some men decided to dodge the draft. They had to leave the country. Many of them became citizens of other countries. That was their choice. I can't tell another man what to do. I do have a problem with Trump getting a doctor to lie and falsify records to get a medical deferment. It's not a big issue to you but it is a big issue in my family. My dad hated draft dodgers and guys that weasled out of their service.

Biden hemorrhaging support from voters without a college degree: poll

[Mac4Lyfe]

after the jury delivered their verdict, did you guys see all the riots and violence in NY and all across the USA by MAGA supporters? Ya me neither.

Because they saw what happened to the dumb asses at the Capital where Trump didn’t pardon any of them. They don’t want a jail cell like Trump is facing.

[slewfan]

Election year. Expect the worst. They say international traveler. But we know it's coming from Biden's vote gouging southern border.

We now know Trump committed crimes to win his first election.
We know that he committed crimes to try to overturn his second election.
We are five months from the next election.
Why would it be any different this time? Except that now, the GOP is his willing accomplice.

Protecting a criminal or condemning OUR justice system because you don't like the verdict?
