A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Corruption? I wouldn't be very much surprised, simply because rich people in positions of power are like that.

The part about the informant reminded me of another informant that swore up and down that Saddam Hussein had huge stockpiles of "weapons of mass destruction" -remember that? There weren't any.

By a trick of memory, I am also reminded of the previous Gulf war, and the harrowing testimony before Congress of a 15 year old girl about witnessing Iraqi soldiers emptying and taking incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital and leaving Kuwaiti babies to die on the cold hard floor. This also turned out to be a completely fictional story, told by (it was later revealed) the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador, that had been coached by a public relations firm called Hill & Knowlton, that was at the time contracted by the Kuwaiti government.

So I guess you can't always trust informants or evidence produced by republican activity.

Dang...people really do deny that Trump incited a insurrection. Y'all are wild.

We all watched him do it, caught red-handed, and then we're supposed to be like, but he's innocent until proven guilty!. Therefore he did nothing wrong.

That state between conviction and innocence is true for every criminal. Hell, the argument that "illegal" immigrants are invading the country is undermined by the conservative stance on Trump. Yeah, we can see videos of immigrants entering the country, but they're not convicted of anything, and therefore are innocent

To insist on the innocence of Trump over the innocence of immigrants is purely motivated reasoning. It just shows clearly that conservatives couldn't care less about principles, even those as immutable as basic logic, but are openly and proudly self-serving.

And the conduct of Hunter Biden reflects on Joe to the same extent the conduct of a crackhead reflects on any rich parent.

Also, just to twist the knife, Biden isn't on Epstein's list. But Trump is! Multiple times even!
