Lots of love for Tucker Carlson as he casually walks down the streets of DC with no security post-Trump inauguration.

Such a different vibe from 4 years ago when BLM and ANTIFA were attacking Trump supporters in this very same area: pic.twitter.com/9Ce2ONThJ1

A new low. Releasing the traitors.

Hey someone posted that Biden has either pardoned or granted clemency to around 4k people.

Trump is now in second place with around 1700 pardons after today. I think he's gonna catch Biden. lol

No more BS talk about mass pardons.

Once again, the difference is Trump pardoned those who already served time in prison unlike the people Biden pardoned.

Did Biden pardon 8,000 to cover up the pardon of his personal crime family?; or visa versa?

Well I think the big difference there 34 is that Biden hasn't pardoned any traitors to the country. I mean, if you want to bring nuance into it.

8,000? Where did you even get that number?

Are you upset that you didn't get one?

Its Fetterman. Dude has done a complete 180 turn. As I saw one post on Twitter - Fetterman is Krysten Sinema with a hoodie.

I don't think Biden recognizes treason as a crime. Here are a few examples....................

1. Opening the Southern Border to all comers, all unvetted, for 4 years. Over 10 million of them, including

a. Hundreds of individuals on the International Terrorist Watch List.

b. Thousands of young males of military age from our strongest foe and rival, Communist China

c. Hundreds of organized criminal gang members from South and Central America

d. Many who have entered unvetted and committed murder, rape, and other assaults against American citizens.

e. Doing very little to interdict the Fentanyl entering the country, Fentanyl made in China, shipped to Mexico, brought the streets of America by Mexican Cartel gangs, eventually killing thousands of American citizens.

2. Giving Billions of dollars in ransom to our most powerful enemy in the Middle East, Iran, enabling them to fund their proxy wars against our US Ally Israel, carried out by Hamas and the Houtis. without that money, there would have been no Oct 7 on Joe's watch. On that day, Oct 7, many Americans were taken hostage or murdered, or both.


3. Giving millions of dollars of aid to the Palestinians, which was supposed to go for food and medical supplies, etc, except that much of it Hamas used to buy rockets from Iran, and buy weapons and ammunition for their unending war.

4. Allowing Chinese government spying to run rampant, including allowing China to buy land very near to sensitive military bases, and allowing China to send a spy satellite to fly over and near those same bases, and travel 3000 miles recording data, and Biden did absolutely nothing to mitigate or end the threat. Then he had the balloon shot down over the Atlantic Ocean, which destroyed any evidence of what China collected, or the equipment used to collect it.

No President in my lifetime ever did so much damage to this country and its citizens. Joe Biden tried, and almost succeeded in selling us out, almost paving the way for our enemies. How does that not rise to the level of treason?

^His speech was cut off right before he clarified that the first $100 billion tranche will the dedicated to the Cal NIL program.

To answer your idiotic last question first - perhaps its because he didn't sell us out. "almost paving the way for our enemies". Almost. "paving the way". wow. that's alot of rhetoric that you cannot back up. I can only assume you read these "facts" off of President Musk's twitter feed. Its inconceivable if not impossible for one president to let 10 million people over the course of his term. It is, in a few words, low grade toad urine.

Your first point is a total lie. Border encounters/apprehensions topped 2.4 million in 2023 but have dropped by over 300,000 in 2024. And since Biden changed asylum rules in October, the rate of apprehensions has collapsed. In December from 2023-24, apprehensions were down by 68%. No, they haven't found a new way in. People have stopped trying. here's the link:

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters

Your next points are off the rocker. Criminal dangerous aliens coming from the South. I don't know what your point was on the Chinese Army.

Organized criminal gangs? Like that bulls**t Colorado apartment complex story? Or the immigrants eating cats? Lies on top of lies. People with borderline personality disorder suffer from telling lies. You may be one of them.

I could provide you with dozens of data that show your accusation of criminals and organized gangs coming across the border is a fiction, but I'll just leave this link below.

https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/undocumented-immigrant-offending-rate-lower-us-born-citizen-rate

Your "point" 2 is also a fabrication. Originating from a Florida rapper named Hi-Rez, he accused Biden of playing both sides. The claim that Biden unfroze $360 million in 2021 and began sending it to the Palestinians is essentially true, but the money is not funding Hamas nor the attacks on Israel. The State Department said in May 2021 that it was adding $38 million to support humanitarian assistance in the West Bank and Gaza. That brought the total in U.S. aid to Palestinians to $360 million that year. This was in sharp contrast to U.S. policy when Trump was President. He axed all aid to Palestinians in 2018.

As far as Iran goes, this has also been turned into some boogeyman story of Biden funding Hamas with US money. No. Firstly, the $6 billion that supposedly went to Iran was part of a deal for a prisoner swap. But the money actually was Iran's as a result of oil deals between Iran and South Korea. It was NOT US taxpayer money. lol The money was actually originally held in South Korean banks. Once the prisoner swap deal was completed, the money was transfered from South Korea to Doha, Qatar. The Trump administration had previously attempted to facilitate the release of the Iranian funds held in South Korea for humanitarian purposes, but it never came to pass. And in October 2019, the Trump administration made the money in those accounts in south Korea available to Iran for limited humanitarian purposes. But the South Korean banks never released the money. So, saying only that "Joe Biden gave 6, 10 or16 billion to Iran" leaves the false impression that the administration has provided new, unrestricted money to Iran. That money already belonged to Iran, and its use is restricted. It's also unclear how much of it Iran has actually accessed. As of May 2024, Iran had not accessed the money.

As far as China owning land, China owns about 383,000 acres of land in the US. That's about 1% of all foreign owned land in the USA. Its also about a 1/3 of what Canada owns. And also less than Germany, Italy, Netherlands and the UK. Its #18 on the list of foreign owned land.

The weather balloon. 1990's era spy technology. Also, you're lying about data collection from the spy balloon. The balloon is believed to have supported a signals intelligence collection payload. Debris WAS retrieved from US territorial waters off the coast of South Carolina and was transported ashore for analysis. A further three objects were downed between February 10 and 12 over Deadhorse in Alaska, near Yukon in Canada and over Lake Huron close to the US-Canada border. All of the debris was collected and analyzed.

You, mister, are a poor poster.

Philly, I get the anti-Trump/GOP sentiments, really I do. That said, maybe you should take a chill pill, or whatever drug might help you get through the next four years. (I have an array of said which I select from based on whim, so if you need any recommendations... )

OTOH, we do need some fighters, but is this really the best battleground?

Yeah. Good point.
People don't stand on principle anymore.

You can now beat up cops and destroy the nation's Capitol in a violent coup/riot, and then be let go from a conviction that even you (in many cases) pled Guilty to.

I was taught differently.

I think pretty much 90% of Yrump voters know and agree he's a warped, bad person. But they make excuses. "Yeah but…"

Masayoshi Son knows this, too. "Yeah, but if we make these investments, we'll get rich."

It's a level of personal corruption.
People allow themselves to be corrupted at the most basic level of their selves.

It's why I've been saying I'm so down on the future of USA. We have become debased.

For sure. I often think of stepping back. But, I also know that ground has been yielded to these post truthers. Dems/progressives have let this go on unchecked. And its probably one of the reasons why we got to this point. And yes, trading political posts on a sports board isn't the halls of Congress. Or even a lecture hall.

at some point, I'll step away and they can have their self abuse in private. lol

What I find particularly disturbing is the binary thinking of so many conservatives, even here on BI.

The presumption that criticism of Trump and/or Republicans means unconditional support of Biden and Democrats, and is clearly the result of TDS.


This reaction to criticism is a common characteristic of cults, as the faithful rally to defend their cult and its leader from outside forces. It's much easier to think of all that are "against " you as a monolith rather than several different constituencies with legitimate criticisms.

The ATF was just caught rebranding their Chief Diversity Officer to Chief Officer to circumvent President Trump's order.

Trump issued an executive order to shut down DEI offices and programs in the federal government.

Wait, is AOC channeling Hitler in this speech? @ADL can we get a ruling?
