Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
.....Getting caught attending communist event. Fact is he not only attended he was a special guest. Of course now that he has been caught with his fellow travelers he claims he had no idea the communist party event was a communist party event.
Instead claiming he thought it was only a labor event. Evidently he had no problem attending a labor event put on by communist.
It is one thing for a truck driver to screw up and not check to see where his link is from. But, for a United States Senator especially one with a history of lying like Blumenthal to claim he simply didn't know I believe is pure bullshit.

I'd say it's a failure of his staff. Staff people set all this stuff up. But of course you'll use this to continue to call all of us racists, socialists and communists.Glennfs wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 5:42 am .....Getting caught attending communist event.

So, what does this say about Trent Lott, who always went to the meetings of the Council of Conservative Citizens?
Because you can't have it both ways. But you guys on the right have always loved to red-bait. But it's YOUR leaders that cozy up to Communist dictators, not ours.
Re: Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
1. His staff should have done better diligence. He shouldn't be keeping track of everything he's invited to, but that's THEIR job. If nobody on his staff checked that it was a CPUSA affiliated event ... that's on them.
1a. I personally couldn't GAF. The CPUSA chapters left in the U.S. are probably meeting in somebody's garage. Some of them may still have posters of Uncle Joe Stalin up. Whatevs.
2. The flourishes on "history of lying" and "fellow travelers" are the kind of bullshit trolling I've come to expect from you.

Re: Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
Well since you are opposed to having it both ways I am happy to see you agree with me that it was no accident Blumenthal was a key speaker at a communist event. As for Trent Lott if he ever runs again I will oppose him with the same vigor you will now oppose Comrade Blumenthal.gounion wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 6:01 am I'd say it's a failure of his staff.

There is no denying that Blumenthal lied about his service to our country.

How many current Senators are you against for their support of communist countries and dictators?
Re: Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
Please quit lying.
As for your defense of a US Senator who lied about his military service and has been a speaker at, at least one communist event I am surprised. After decades of holier than thou talk about how terrible it is to vote and support Sen. Graham and Scott. You have no problem defending a guy who should have lost his job over his stolen valor and now has been caught being a main speaker at a communist event.

Re: Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
As the Snopes article notes, he has had a history of portraying things more accurately ("he was in the military reserves" - that's fact - no he was never "in country") ... so I would agree with their position that at times he was less than honest about his military service.Glennfs wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 9:40 am https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/richa ... l-vietnam/

Whether that is a "history of lying" (at least unlike Trump he doesn't have a Liar's Rating of Pants on Fire over at PolitiFact because he routinely lies about just about everything) is a subjective opinion.
Do I think he should resign because his staff sucks at diligence, and he sometimes exaggerated his military role during those days? No. You asked. Anything else? (BTW, I'm not saying it was OK to lie about that stuff - but just answering THAT question.)

Re: Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
Graham is a FAR bigger liar than anyone on the left. Graham is Donald Trump's biggest supporter. Tim Scott wants to be Trump's VP in 2024. You completely support both of them.Glennfs wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 9:47 am Please quit lying.

Yet you say you don't support Donald Trump.
Now, WHO is the liar here?
Re: Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
Your entire party is in bed with Russia. The leader of your party spent last weekend praising Kim Jong un, Putin and Xi of China, preferring them over the leaders of the free world.

Re: Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
You calling Sen Graham a liar is just your opinion. As for Blumenthal he is a proven liar. Lied about military service. What could be worse for a US Senator to do......I know being the main speaker at a communist event. I would love to hear his speech

Lindsey Graham is a bootlicking Trumper. It’s not an opinion that he’s a liar. He is.

26% full lies.
And he lies about Trump all the time. But you don't support Trump, right?
Re: Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
Putin is not a Communist. May have been in the past, but ... United Russia, his political party, is a RIGHT WING nationalist party. Go google it. The other two are. Though in theory I would call Xi "CINO" considering how much he's backing things like the Chinese stock market exchange and Alibaba. We could also debate if this weird thing they're doing in North Korea is communism or some other weird cult of personality called "Juche", but I avoid that no true scotsman stuff.
I will say this. Right now, the U.S. is enjoying very good relations with Vietnam, which is really, seriously, still a Communist country just like since 1975, when we, uh, withdrew.

Re: Senator Blumenthal Regrets.....
At the risk of derailing this thread one of the few good things Trump did was open a dialog with North Korea. Because now in the future real presidents can have talks with North Korea without needing to worry about political fallout.ProfX wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 10:02 am Putin is not a Communist.

Russia is no longer considered communist, but Putin was KGB and it’s the same culture running the country with the same goal of destroying democracies.ProfX wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 10:02 am Putin is not a Communist.

False. Trump gave a vile despot a stage and NoKo has amped up nuke development. NoKo is allied with Russia. Trump opened those talks for himself. You’ve been played.
