You know that the current FBI director, who would be overseeing any sort of investigation into Biden, was appointed by Trump, right?

Yeah but the senile Biden was so stupid that he he somehow manipulated Trump's masterful pick into becoming a Democrat.

Then why are they immune to fact?

Kidding aside. Conservative views would be welcome if they made relevant statements supported by fact. If they acknowledged the biases of others from their side of the political spectrum. BIGUN comes close but he tends to limit his input to the gun debate. Likely because he gets no other intelligent support form other GOP leaning idealists.

You're right again. I very much would like it were BIGUN to jump feet first into a debate on the merits of identifying as a conservative in these times. 

[wmw999 2,120]

He's here on his own terms just like everyone else. Some folks' entertainment (calling specific people libtards and passing out incorrect medical information as though it were fact) isn't allowed by the forum rules. My Class B RV forum doesn't do political discussions at all; those just get moved aside. But if someone wants to go only to stroke their ego, it's up to us to decide whether we want to engage. Note that I in NO WAY think that Bigun just wants to stroke his ego, just that he has a right not to post something that he knows will get him dogpiled.

Just like most of my posting is mealy-mouthed conciliatory stuff.

The 'sockpuppet' claim is regarding people who create extra profiles.

Either to post their opinion, pretending to be 'other people' in order to make it look more popular and relevant than it is, to post stuff without admitting that's how they really feel or to get around a ban.

I think the record for 'number of sockpuppets' is held by John Rich. He got permabanned and came back as about a zillion sockpuppets. They kept getting banned, he kept making more and coming back.

I don't think any of the current 'naughty poster' people are true sockpuppets.

Trolls, sure. I'd bet a considerable amount that a 'certain poster' is a paid troll, posting propaganda for a hostile government. There have been a few in the past I'd be comfortable making that accusation with.

Agree with all of that. This is a tough forum for conservatives and BIGUN pays for posting conservative ideas.. wolfriverjoe though is a liberal(left of center)with pro gun, pro 2nd views. So dissenters can co-exist with little friction.

IMO most anti-conservative leanings are due to the sheer mass of conservative scumbags since 2000. I think the last intellectually honest leader was McCain. Thats not to say that Jeff Flake, Liz Cheney, etc. didn't fight hard for integrity among the GOP.

But Liz got the boot and a couple dozen other threw up their hands in disgust.

Nope.  He's a guy who got a free ride.  I've gotten them too.

And since he is representing the US do you think he's a scumbag?

I know very little about him, other than he's not representing the US in any capacity.  Doesn't sound like someone I'd hang around with.

Encouraging news for Coloradans:

Madison Cawthorn foes who published a damaging nude video launch campaign to 'fire' Lauren Boebert

In a further development of this, Boebert threatened to sue American Muckrakers for defamation, but never did.

However, due to the backlash, American Muckrakers sued Boebert.

The suit was originally filed in North Carolina, but was dismissed due to jurisdictional issues. Not due to merit, which Boebert tried but failed to do.

So they've refiled it in Colorado. 

The 'discovery' aspect of it should be interesting.

Excellent!

Rep. George Santos (R, NY) latest:

Santos’ 13-count federal indictment was a reckoning for a web of fraud and deceit that prosecutors say overlapped with the New York Republican’s fantastical public image as a wealthy businessman — a fictional biography that began to unravel after he won election last fall.

Another ignorant jerk:

Guardian, 5/14/2023

Mexicans “would be eating cat food out of a can and living in a tent behind an Outback” Steakhouse restaurant if it were not for their nation’s proximity to the US, and their country should be invaded because of the presence of drug cartels there, the US senator John Neely Kennedy said.

The Louisiana Republican’s racist remarks drew a strong condemnation from Mexico’s foreign affairs secretary, Marcelo Ebrard, who called Kennedy “a profoundly ignorant man”. Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, meanwhile, urged the 37 million Americans of Mexican descent – along with other Latinos in the US – “not to vote for people with this very arrogant, very offensive and very foolish mentality” in the future.

Kennedy’s rant came on Wednesday during a Senate appropriations subcommittee hearing that in part focused on the Drug Enforcement Administration’s budget. Kennedy told DEA administrator Anne Milgram that she and other members of the Biden White House should pressure López Obrador to let US military and law enforcement officials storm into his country “and stop the cartels”.

Ummmm...

Because they're the same sort of bigot?

I've said it before.

I honestly thought the racial hatred & bigotry was more or less done.

Not racism, not abuse of power, not injustice.
But most of the virulent, violent hatred. 
And not completely done, but mostly over. 

And then Obama got elected. 

And so many people who had been required to pretend to be nice just completely lost their shit.

All the 'Birther' garbage. All the "Secret Muslim" crap. All the stupid insults and criticisms of both of the Obamas.

The people who had hated people with different color skin, but had been forced by 'polite society' to mute those views came out from under their rocks and went apeshit.
Turns out they've always been there, but weren't able to be 'their real selves' in public.

Then Trump saw his opportunity. Remember his private detective who was going to provide earthshaking revelations 'in two weeks'?

Trump gained traction with his hate and vitriol, got the bigots and assholes wound up and the MAGA moron movement took off. 

Trump and his idiot followers then proceeded to hijack the R party. Which resulted in Bobo, Gym Jordan and Empty Gee gaining power.

People like Liz Cheney decided they weren't very nice people and jumped ship, to their detriment.
Keep in mind that Liz is Darth Cheney's daughter. And Trump is too evil for her.

But not for the MAGA morons, and the politicians that pander to them.

Well I say the same things from time to time. Mostly out of frustration. BIGUN isn't a bigot. There are other republicans as well that swallow their pride and vote republican. Some will go out that same week to do outreach volunteer work. Some today are helping immigrant claimants at the border. More than many democrats.

Racist, bigots, etc. I'd go with 20% of the GOP depending on how riled up I am about some latest outrage.
