I kind of like his story.

It's funny to imagine that Trump, nearly a year and a half into his term, was having meetings with Democrats and John Kerry before he suddenly realized, "Holy crap! I've been talking to the wrong people!"

He can stick to that story if he wants. Or he say can say he had no idea about what was going on.

I'm happy with either one.

bass4funk: Later when he stopped listening to the Dem and Kerry, he realized that wasn’t the case.

Trump was President for over a year, certifying every 3 months that Iran was in compliance, before he ended US participation. I suppose it's possible that Trump's advisors were the Dems and Kerry for his first year, but I'm going to bet that what's really going on here is that you're just making things up.

Time to wrap this one up?

Bass4funk: Obama should have never allowed him and Kerry to be duped by the Mullahs

Trump, on numerous occasions, certified that Iran was in compliance.

This out of the blue call for a summit with Putin can only mean one thing. Biden’s son

Oh, boy.

Jsapc: There are mentally unstable people everywhere in the world. 

Yep. I've always thought it was strange that gun supporters feel "solving all mental health issues that could lead to murder" is a perfectly attainable goal, whereas restrictions on firearms is just pie in the sky crazy talk that will never work and can never be enforced.

bass: And yet, liberals are trying more to defund the police, doesn’t help.

The horribly named, "Defund the Police" drive is actually about reallocating funds to other areas in crime prevention, like mental health. But we both know you won't support that.

In fact, for years and years I've been listening to the GOP say it's a mental health issue, yet I've yet to meet a conservative point to Republican sponsored legislation for mental health. Is it a real solution in their minds, or just a talking point to repeat for a few days until the most current shooting is out of the headlines?

OK, Biden. Time to do something about China.

I wish them luck. I can't imagine being at this point this late in the process.

Last week, the Republican governor signed legislation that will make Tennessee the latest state to allow most adults 21 and older to carry handguns — openly or concealed — without first clearing a background check and training. Lee backed the legislation over objections from law enforcement groups, who argued that the state’s existing permit system provided an important safeguard for knowing who should or shouldn’t be carrying a gun.

But let me guess, trying to keep that safeguard in place is just another example of Libruhls takin' yur guns and destroying the country for law abiding citizens. Because....everything is, apparently.

Poor Haley. I think a lot of people respected her for calling out Trump back when she did, but obviously she feels that it wasn't effective so she's decided to give up and lick Trump's boots like everyone else.

Will she claw her way back into Trump's good graces? We shall see. Lots of money and donations are riding on the line for her, and all she had to so was sell herself out.

Always glad to see big tech slap the GOP in the mouth when they try to spread their misinformation.

Conservatives, go to Fox or OANN or Newsmax to peddle your conspiracy crap. Reputable sites don't want to deal with you.

America is only as strong as our alliances. It's nice to have a President who understands that.

Netanyahu has vowed to stop the deal at all costs

Netanyahu will not stop until US soldiers are dying on Iranian soil.

This is a school shooting, and it's not even the top story on US websites right now. That's where we are in the US.

The rewrite of Georgia’s election rules — signed by Kemp last month — follows former President Donald Trump’s repeated, baseless claims of fraud after his presidential loss to Biden.

New laws due to baseless accusations. Pretty much sums it up.

It's been nice having him and his white supremacists habits silenced recently.

The U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018 under then-president Donald Trump, who reimposed crippling sanctions on Tehran, which responded by stepping back from several of its commitments under the deal.

Trump and Bolton badly miscalculated and set everyone back years.

Bass: if we show the Chinese appeasement

More of the same.

Grab your mouse. Scroll up. Read the headline and article. Then comment.

Blacklabel: just the part of the article that tries to protect him from the attacks of the left

Well, that was given away by the headline: "Biden's budget meets criticism from right and left on Pentagon spending" No one would ever read that without thinking the author is protecting him from attacks of the Left.

Revise and resubmit.

Blacklabel: So he did increase it 

Yes. What part of that are you struggling with?

Bass: Look, Biden is not going to do anything to rock the boat with China

Translation: I've already forgotten the contents of the article. Now I'll switch to random generic comments against liberals or bring up obscure information about black people to ride out the thread.

Oh, and bring up the FBI as an enemy to the American people often and early.

I probably shouldn't have said, "Adios, amigo." If he plays the GOP victim card right he should be able to blame his actions on liberals and continue to get money from at least a portion of conservatives.

Start out by saying it's a hit job. Mention liberals and the media. Mention that they want you gone because you fight the swamp. You won't be a Congressman anymore, but you should be able to bank a few million dollars from the masses to support your habit.

Blacklabel: He didn’t increase it.

Good luck with that.

Adios, amigo.

This, like ending the filibuster, was something that was unthinkable to me in the past. But seeing the current state of the GOP, it's something that should be considered. Let's face it...the GOP has proven, especially with Garland, that they have no problem creating rules on the spot to keep power for themselves at all costs.

It's time for Democrats to stop pretending Republicans will self-police themselves out of shame. McConnell broke the system to benefit his party and at night he sleeps like a baby. With the reality of minority rule playing out right before our very eyes, it's time to rethink things.

We must keep right-wing domestic terrorists our of our military. They are the biggest threat to America.

Biden's budget meets criticism from right and left on Pentagon spending

Welcome to the world of being a moderate, Joe.

There's good and bad in military spending. First of all, it creates good paying jobs, so part of that budget ultimately ends up in the hands of the middle class. Second, it is an investment in technology that can often lead to applications in other areas, which isn't reflected in something like a budget number. Third, we can sell the weapons we create to our allies, in which case we recoup part of the cost. And finally, I sleep better at night knowing we have the most advanced military in the world.

That being said, there is often waste in defense spending that never seems to get corrected. Congressmen keep projects open to save jobs in their states for weapons that aren't really a priority anymore. Second, the cost of new technology is reaching insane levels, only to find out it was double the estimated cost. The list is endless. At some point a line has to be drawn.

So again, good and bad.

GREAT move by Biden.

bass: Again and please stop deflecting. 

Deflecting? I agreed with you that the system needs to be fully funded and fixed for it to work properly. We are both on the same page about that, aren't we?

So once again, most of the highest gun crimes are in the largest metropolitan cities which are run by Democrats 

I asked you to provide examples of lack of enforcement and we found out that we agree on funding the system for it to work. This stuff about black people and Democrats and major cities is just coming out of left field and has nothing to do with the scope of our conversation.
