Anyone going to any concerts?

well damn, I really imagined that this would be kind of a big deal. Somewhat disappointed.


Just kidding of course, that was even more spectacular that I envisioned it to be. Great job, thanks. That had to be about as much fun as is legally allowable in most parts of the world.
still kinda numb from the show…the history behind the song and band and what it took to get them in that stadium is pretty amazing.

OOTB's Political Thread . ..

There is nothing in this world sadder than a gullible moron who spends his hours promoting debunked conspiracy theories:


At a campaign rally in Iowa, President Donald Trump cited an unsubstantiated news report to revive a widely debunked false narrative about Joe Biden’s work in Ukraine on behalf of the Obama administration.

As we have reported more than once last year, Biden traveled to Kyiv as vice president and warned Ukraine’s then-president, Petro Poroshenko, that the U.S. would withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees until Ukraine removed its prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, who was widely viewed as corrupt.

At the time, the international community and anti-corruption advocates in Ukraine were also calling for Shokin to be removed from office for his failure to aggressively prosecute corruption.

But Trump has repeatedly distorted the facts about Biden’s work in Ukraine to baselessly accuse his Democratic rival of seeking Shokin’s removal to help his son, Hunter, who at the time was a board member of a Ukraine gas company called Burisma. He left the board in 2019.

In Des Moines, Iowa, on Oct. 14, Trump cited “explosive documents” published earlier that day by the New York Post to revive his widely discredited claim that Biden “went to Ukraine and threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid if they did not fire the prosecutor that was investigating his son and the company that his son worked for.”

As we’ve written, there’s no evidence Hunter Biden was being investigated.
I think all of us who aren't willing dupes understand that Biden had ulterior motives. You are the most willing of dupes, and you are an outstanding dupe among the willing, so you haven't surprised anyone here. And of course I already addressed that you would drag this standard dem apologist crock out as expected. Ho hum.

Do you really need someone to explain this to you? Do you follow anything other than FOX News?

In March 2016, then Vice President Joe Biden threatened to withhold appropriated funding to Ukraine before they heeded his demand and ousted their top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. Since it was unnecessary for the Obama Administration to followup on these threats, no laws were violated. Furthermore, since Biden was acting in a bipartisan manner, Congress would have likely approved it since these funds would be withheld for a reason in the economic, geopolitical, and general interest of the United States.

Donald Trump, both over the summer of 2019 (which led to his first impeachment) and again with the recent and unapproved cuts to funding without the approved consent of Congress, are clear cases of overreach by the President and illegal.
do you honestly not realize that you just capitulated, and agree that there is no essential difference between what Biden did and what Trump is doing, or are you just doing what you do best?

So Biden DID act without the congressional approval that you say Trump needs in order for his actions to be legal, It's just that Ukraine agreed to the extortion that Biden was leveraging on them, so Biden released the funds. Biden held up, i.e. he withheld, funds that Congress said were to be administered. As I pointed out in order to keep you from using the same old tired excuse, what was felt about the prosecutor in question has no bearing on anything. So of course you drag that out of your weak-ass excuse-maker anyway.

Trump, on the other hand, is holding up funds that Congress decreed be spent, but has not used the allotted funding elsewhere or done anything that keeps the funds from ultimately being used as Congress desired. It too can still be spent. But Trump, acting in the interests of our country, is re-evaluating the dispersal of said funding.

And of course because I'm dealing with you, I have to reiterate that Trump is not extorting any entity, particularly not an entity that is involved with a relative's interests.

BTW, bi-partisanship has no bearing on anything, but nice try working in that attempt to obfuscate. And what Congress would likely have done blah blah is just conjecture and as well has no bearing on anything...unless we have started operating with a crystal ball and a ouija board.

So there you go, no difference. But keep squawking, we expect no less from you.
