Show of hands. Anyone besides Paul care about the Alex Jones nonsense?

Didn't really know who Alex Jones was before this. Still don't really. Still don't care. Sounds like a broke asshole.

On the other hand, JD may be onto something.

Don’t disagree with most of it. The problem with politics today is you can insert Republican in place of democrat in the second paragraph and it still holds true.

You know 'Ville, there's a reckoning coming.

Yes, both political parties are polarized to the extreme.....and obviously most DC politicians are self serving frauds.

Here's the thing, voting Americans have a pretty good idea what their Party's agendas are, if they're paying attention at all. And these agendas could not be more contrast. One party seems to have cornered the market on traditional common sense values.

So, unfortunately the individual politicians mean little or nothing because they all are simply party "rubber stamps" with a pulse. It's the AMERICAN VOTER who is responsible for which extreme this Country becomes...because unfortunately compromise and governing somewhere in the middle is a thing off the past.

Paul showing that he is for censorship. Very free.
Look both Maddow and Jones are POS idiots, but one of them just got hit with a verdict to pay over it. If censorship occurred, Justice would not have been done. Maddow spread conspiracy falsehoods all over the place and someday, like CNN & the Washington Post did vs Nicholas Sandman, she’ll go over the edge to. I trust the American public to be smart enough to judge what is BS and what is true and eventually bring painful penalties to the bullshitters.
28.6% of the Country thinks that the US is on the “wrong track” under Biden and this ludicrous Congress.
A reckoning is coming.
“I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend your right to say it”

BTW. Vance destroyed Ryan in the Monday night debate and the National Democratic Party has abandoned Ryan. But that is the crap that blue glasses Paul pulls out? Hahahaha. #GraspingAtStraws

From Jessie O’Neill of the NY Post:

Just another lying day from this Disinfomation Administration.

“ Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was told last year that there was no evidence Border Patrol agents had “whipped” or “strapped” Haitian migrants at the US-Mexico border — hours before he bolstered President Biden’s lies about the incident at a press conference.

A Sept. 24, 2021 email to Mayorkas from Marsha Espinosa, assistant secretary of DHS public affairs, highlighted an interview with the photographer who captured agents on horseback trying to corral migrants and block them from entering the US near Del Rio, Texas...

Lensman Paul Ratje had told an interviewer that he did not witness the agents harming the migrants, but Mayorkas did not contradict Biden’s false narrative as he stood next to him at the White House podium.”

I think that's a pretty pessimistic view and I hope that you are wrong. The country as a whole needs to start voting for common sense moderates, and stop watching 24 hour news cycle crap

Vance clearly lost the debate unless you get your news from Murdoch:

And what source is that?

This guy seems to be a fan. Maybe he'll help Alex pay off some of the debt:

Literally arguing about which shitty politician is worse.. JD Vance is a psycho and flip flopper and Ryan has done nothing for 20 years---we should be more concerned that these are the two candidates to choose from, not about which crap politician I'm going to hold my nose for.

JD Vance's statement is effing stupid. Alex Jones is a POS, and Rachel Maddow is a POS...making a statement about which one is less of a POS is a complete waste of time and oxygen.

[xuwillie]

Couldn't agree more. Same in PA, GA and AZ. Just brutal but you have people on this board who still think their side has good candidates because of the D and R behind the name
