Anyone know if there’s any validity to the 1998 arrest claims?

Yeah, Lenin or Uncle Joe would have had them shot. Homosexuality was considered ‘’degenerate Bourgeois morality’’.

I hope Biden’s campaign is a complete bust......so sick of hearing how “investigating a political opponent” is taboo.....he’s a weak opponent, who served near the top of a corrupt administration that broke every law in the book trying to prevent THEIR political opponent from taking power.

Bannon just suggested on Jesse Watters the ticket might be Bloomberg and Hillary. Brokered Convention. And Hillary will come in on her cape.

“There has never been a justice system built to deal with this depth of wickedness we currently see in the republic.”

I concur, absolutely. We are in uncharted territory that even the Founding Fathers, in all their wisdom, could not have foreseen.

On several FR threads, I have expressed my opinion that Trump will end up having to use “extra-Constitutional methods” to remove the cancer. I have been castigated by some FReepers for this, but I still stand behind this view.

This doesn’t mean I like it. But how can our slow-moving justice system cope with hardcore Marxists who will surely riot once Trump wins his second term? Especially since most of the rioting will take place in blue cities like Portland, where the local administration openly coddles the likes of Antifa.

And after the initial outburst of lawlessness, what then? Continued acts of domestic terrorism, amounting to a low-level civil war?

Trump had better be prepared to come down hard on these evildoers — and very quickly, starting the day after the election.

Much like Lincoln, Trump will likely have to suspend habeas corpus. And I suspect the Posse Comitatus Act will have to be shelved as well, at least until some degree of sanity returns to our politics.

But that may be a long wait.

Obama didn’t run on free college for all including illegals, i’m going to take your guns away, gov healthcare for all, open border anarchy, infanticide, etc.

That's true, but he "evolved" on a lot of things, and with the MSM's help, got the habitual Democrats to follow him. If he were running today, he'd say he was more reasonable, but that the proponents of the above idiocies had their reasons, and that we should listen to them.

Once elected, he'd steer the ship as hard left as he could, and he'd have a more uncertain country to mess up than he did in 2008.

Abortion, in fact, seems to be the one issue on which he wants the government to stay out of our lives. About everything else, it’s all government all the time.

Well, he, like all Democrats running for office, certainly thinks the government needs to pay for abortions. The fact is, he obviously believes, like all Democrats, that every live birth is a cosmic failure.

I actually switched parties in 2008 to vote for Obama in the NH Democratic primary to help McCain, since I was certain Obama was the one Democrat with no hope of winning.

“Whereas, the laws of the United States have been for some time past and now are opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the States of Virginia, Maryland, New York, Arkansas, and in the District of Columbia by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by law: now, therefore, I, Donald John Trump, President of the United States, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution and the laws, have thought fit to call forth, and hereby do call forth, the militia of the several States of the Union to the aggregate number of 75,000, in order to suppress said combinations and to cause the laws to be duly executed.”

Multiple entities are investigating Biden and his son Hunter. As these turn up the heat and begin to release fact-based findings, Biden will be finished in politics for life.

He and Hunter should get jail time. Reality: Hunter, probably, Biden, I doubt it. He’s too old and a member of the untouchable class.

Pete Buttplug is supported by the CIA, Military Industrial Complex, Never Trumpers & Bill Kristol. He’s also a satanic baby killer who wants all unwanted children put to death.

We’ve already had at least one queer president but not one that’s out of the closet.

I don’t know. I thought we weren’t ready for a guy whose middle name was ‘Hussein,’ but I was wrong.
