Did you bother to... read... the context of everything you're responding to?

Boebert has never claimed she was raped. 

What has rape got to do with it?!?  Many of the #BeleiveAllWomen cases had NOTHING to do with rape. Don't you pay attention to what your anti-western fellow travelers do and say?

It only works when Democrat/liberal/communist/socialist women make the claim.  Others not allowed.

I don't follow meaningless hashtag trends like you apparently do so had to look that one up.  What I found clearly says it involves accepting women's claims of sexual harassment and assault at face value.  Ok... but neither of those things has been claimed by Boebert.  So... why did you respond with that?  :huh:  As mentioned the only person bringing that up is some conspiracy-theorist-nutjob on X that Murph linked (which, as mentioend already as well, is just bloody insulting on so many levels).

Reform it how?

There's this crazy thing Congress can do - it's called write legislation.  You know, that thing that Rs (for 15 years now?) have shown they're incapable of doing?  There is that one exception with the tax bill passed under Trump.  That's actually a great segue into the point of this exchange over the Rs trying to defund the IRS - it highlights how the Rs are just tools of their donors who don't give a damn about the little guy.  Most of the tax breaks us little people got in that tax bill will sunset in '25 whereas the benefits to corporate tax laws are permanent.  (Funny enough, this will actually mean an increase in revenue from, in essence, raising taxes on us little people... something the Rs claim they're adamantly opposed to, heh...)

Again, this IRS example is pretty cut and dry.  All it shows is the only thing Rs have to offer this country is 'burn it all down' as an answer.  That's not governing... that's giving up.  The fact that R supporters and media outlets were quiet and have been quiet on this incessant desire to defund the IRS shows they're no better than the legislators they support.

But the anti-western crowd like yourself

I see you're taking a page from DKTanker's "if you can't engage with what's said just make shit up" style of posting.

First, it just highlights you're not actually reading what I'm writing here on TN.  I can't possibly fathom how my comments can be taken to be 'anti-western'.  Second, it's just decent, mature behavior to engage someone with what they're actually saying.  Grow the fuck up...

I didn't have to look that one up. If you were remotely aware of the cultural zeitgeist over the past oh, 4 years, you'd have been aware of it. Clearly you were not.

So you DID have to look it up. Ok. Look up cases like those covering the Hollywood casting couch. It was coercive, but not rape. Or of Louis CK. Not rape at all. OR of the pattern of women having regret on the morning after and then deciding it was rape.

Because your lefty side argued that ANY accusation was to be believed if it came from a woman. It didn't matter. It didn't need evidence. This was from Congressional hearings on Judicial nominations down to actors and students on dates.  Perhaps you don't subscribe to that but your side does, whole sale, so....play by all of their rules please.

I've spent enough time tracking bills on Thomas to know this is false. The legislative process is more complex and the process to get bills through committee and then to the floors, past both houses and then signed is broad. 

The left was not about reforming the ATF when they were dumping guns on the Cartels as part of their effrots to drum up gun crime and thus reasons for US laws. 

There's this other crazy thing that Congress has which is the power of the purse.

So at worse they're the same as the DNC and you thus should stop complaining about them.

More nuanced than that. But then the DNC position has been to just tax and spend for ever.

Ironic with the rioting of 2021 and 2022.

In contrast, the Campaign Legal Center purports to be a “public interest” organization that protects democracy against “special interests.” They take secret, slush-fund contributions from billionaires like George Soros to enact and defend restrictive campaign finance laws that diminish First Amendment rights for the American public. They’re one of the most hypocritical and hysterical front-groups in Washington, D.C. They are losing campaign finance cases around the country as judges strike down clearly speech-infringing laws they helped write and pass. Their desperate strategy is now clear: they are losing in court, so they are smearing their opponents with ridiculous hyperbole and false attacks.

Furthermore, CCP is not “thin-skinned” about the fact that we do not reveal our donors.  We’ve said it on national television, and in interviews with national and local print media.  We even noted it in our response to the Campaign Legal Center’s hypocrisy and tendency (habit?) of simply engaging in nasty personal attacks on all with whom they disagree. We just find it amusing, and worth pointing out, when a group with a budget substantially larger than ours denounces our efforts and suggest our success comes about only because we are a “well funded” organization.  And we also find it vaguely amusing -and an educational moment about the value of privacy and role of disclosure in combating political influence-when that same group, which does not disclose its donors, criticizes us for not disclosing our donors. That CLC has, as a major issue it promotes, requiring others to disclose their donors only adds even more to the irony.

The AP is basing their spew on claims from Campaign Legal Center, which is partially financed by Sam Bankman-Fried's dirty money.

If the crooks are against Comer, that makes Comer more trustworthy.

Yes, they did.  Roberts I am not shocked at, but Barrett I will admit to being a little surprised.  But her feelings got in the way.

I suspect this is just the interim order. There will be a larger more in depth case.

People are starting to post that perhaps the Supremes are being bribed, threatened, or blackmailed based on the really odd decisions which have been coming down lately.  Not out of the realm of the possible.  After all the Left wanted to murder them over the Dobbs decision, and the government refuses to prosecute any of the insurrectionists who threatened them.

The feds are welcome to cut it. The state will just put more in. I predict that a bunch of satan’s slinky will probably feature in an abortive attempt by some feds to breach it with light armor.

Apparently Texas is taking the tack of ignoring the judge, and doing what needs to be done to protect its Citizens.  Chip Roy agrees.  So it will be interesting to see what is going to happen, when libtard courts bent on destroying this country get told "NO".

ATexas congressman has urged President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The call was made by Democratic Representative Joaquin Castro after Abbott posted on X, formerly Twitter, saying the Texas National Guard would continue to "hold the line in Eagle's Pass," a popular migrant crossing point, stating: "Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden's absence."

Castro re-shared Abbott's post on his own X account, adding: "Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border.

I'm sure that the Cuban Castros would agree, same with Justin Castro up north.

The Arizona GOP chair offers a bribe to get Kari Lake to drop out.  Threats of murder, so the Deep State is terrified of Kari Lake (and Donald Trump), I just hope both survive to get sworn in.

Castro is mentally ill if he thinks that there was no prior chaos at the border. But I will assume that he knows he is lying, and the years of chaos at the border post-Trump are part of the DNC's plan to throw the 2024 presidential election.

I suspect the real driver for LW outrage towards Texas busing illegals to deep-blue cities is that they were hoping for a half-million or so illegals to vote in November in border states. Illegals voting for Biden in NYC, Chicago etc. don't move the Electoral College needle.
