No where in his statement does he say that’s why he is not running for re-election Jon

For 3 months, he has been playing a game of bait and switch with border security being tied to it....then he didn't want border security tied to it.  Then he didn't want a stand alone border security bill because Trump told him not to....bla bla bla....

 

He's been pressured by people like Trump, MTG and Gaetz to not pass Ukraine aid and he's been obviously listening to them.  Now....all of a sudden he's singing a different tune.

I Read that entire article word for word and I did not see anywhere that Johnson claimed the three amigos WERE NOT and axis of evil or good fit the US etc… So your article had nothing to do with my questioning your point on what changed when Johnson said those countries were an axis of evil.

I have a friend who is a lawyer that graduated from Nebraska Law School.  I was asking him, OK, what would a lawyer learn going to Harvard Law instead of Nebraska.  He said, the biggest thing is "connections".  If you have any desire to work for the supreme court or in some big Wall Street law firm....Harvard would get you there, not because of what you learn, but because of who you know.

Correct.  I have two siblings with law degrees and both very successful in the Midwest and neither wanted to live on the east coast so it would have been pointless to attend one of those law programs.  
 

On the other hand, my nephew recently graduated from Princeton with a finance degree and wanted to live and work in the city.  His two roommates/teammates came from billionaire families and he wouldn’t have the job he currently has without the connections he has made and name of the school connected to his degree.  In his field, he’s probably 5-10 years ahead of someone his age with a finance degree from UNL or KU, etc…

Something major obviously changed with him.  

 

 

Have you heard him say different in the past?  If so could you post those please.   I haven’t heard it.  Thanks in advance

Did you ever get around to reading that report vs just the summaries from other people?

Gee….how about doing the right thing the last three months while thousands of Ukrainians have died because you refused to do this?

 

 

Oh please.   Thousands of Ukrainians would have died with or without more aid and ammo.   Thousands will die in the future most likely after getting aid.

Moscow Mike has all of a sudden turned a corner. 

I mean, you and your twitter peeps assured us the GOP was an arm of Russia now.  How is this possible?  Can’t be! 

Found this and didn’t know which thread to put it in.  But I absolutely agree with this guy and it would behoove MTG AND others to cut out the calling people they don’t like NAZI’s when they clearly aren’t.

Absolutely. The good thing is that violent crime across the board has been on a downward trajectory since the 1970s. As we distance ourselves from COVID, violent crime seems to be resuming it'd downward trend.

Violent crime rates in the 70’s 80’s and early 90’s was a drug fueled anomaly imo.  I don’t think the 2000’s should be compared to those years.   Not that we still don’t have a drug problem in the US.  
It was more with the introduction of cocaine, crack, etc….gangs, users, small time dealers were all fighting for a piece of this new pie.  Much oh that non-sense is settled and we see less drug fueled gang war killings/violence  now a days.  

Ahhhhh, we’ve hit the….noted liberal reporter for NPR is now a Republican talking head….stage of the story. <insert huge eye roll>

In regards to the first point, near every Democrat and even some on the Republican side thought Missile Defense wouldn’t work and didn’t want to spend resources on it.  From Reagan all the way till Obama.

Absolutely bonkers considering the pro crime, anti-police, authority hating domestic policies of the Biden Administration. 

These numbers are interesting.   KC’s number is compared against 2023 when the city experienced its deadliest year on record.  This years number is also recently trending up.  Not sure if this reflects other cities too, but as for KC, it’s not the flex someone is wanting it to be.   
 

That said, reducing the murder rate is ALWAYS a good thing no matter who is in charge.

Mike lists himself as a business man. I’m guessing he needs to rethink that. 
 

 

I’m thinking he didn’t actually do what he claims.   Or he has a miniature portfolio to where it doesn’t matter

It seems like the conservative position on the issue is to pretend college is still just as affordable as it was decades ago and b!^@h loudly at anyone who complains that it isn't. Cue snarky Boomers not understanding why young people don't just work a job to pay for college like they did when they were younger.

Not a boomer, but I paid off my student loans and so did my wife.

My first child graduated with zero student loan debt by a combination of taking on line summer and mid semester community college classes, getting academic scholarships, working and a little help from mom and dad. 
 

My second child graduates in May and will have zero student loan debt by doing the exact same process.  They are not Boomers either.  They worked hard in HS, worked hard in college and as a matter of fact, this past year my son has been working a full time salaries position while taking 18 and 21 hour credit semesters in order to graduate in three years because his summer finance internship hired him full time and asked him to push it and finish early.  
 

Neither of them jacked around or got a worthless degree and both make enough to be able to pay off student loans if they would have has to take them.  For all that effort and sacrifice, they and I get to see others get rewarded for financial incompetence.  Yayyyyy!   
 

College is absolutely too expensive for what they provide.   No doubt about it.  However….Anyone, and I mean anyone can get a two year degree with zero debt easily and get the other two years with minimal debt by working during school……if you are financially smart and go to an in-state public school.
