There's a not short list of Maga policy positions that have super-majority support.

IRS settlement slush fund?

---

you should instead be outraged that the IRS was used by Democrats to go after Republicans.

---

Who says one has to pick?

---

They call that a false dilemma. it's not at all uncommon for people who win lawsuits against the IRS (and get cash awards) to be granted periods of immunity from audits. I am aware of one group that got a 10-yr reprieve. There was also a cash settlement, only it wasn't called a slush fund because the ruling occurred during the Obama admin. The practice makes sense - it prevents the IRS from losing a lawsuit then turning right back around and using audits & lawsuits to harass the victor.

Using the alphabet agencies to harass (or worse) one's political opponents is reprehensible. Obama admin was relentless at it. Donate to a Tea Party, and Osha shows up at your manufacturing plant. Then EPA. Etc.....happened to a Waco era businessman I know very well. Biden was by far worse, actually using criminal prosecutions to attempt to hang criminal records on grandmas & grandpas who did not get within a quarter mile of the Capitol (again, happened to a couple in Waco...FBI came to their places of work just because they were in WDC that day.).

---

But Biden is not in office making decisions.

Don't you hold the current Administration accountable? Your argument is silly. We should be more concerned and upset over something the allegedly happened 5 years ago?

Whoever is in office deserves our full attention and scrutiny. We called Bush, Obama and yes even Biden out for the f-ups they did. Microscope is on Donald. Your response is a shell game, be upset of Biden. Don't look here...

Those homes did not cost $24 billion. So where did the rest go? I suspect it went into the coffers of all kinds of fraudsters. I expect Gov Hair Gel ended up with a sizable amount as well. How else is how going to finance his presidential campaign?

That's not exactly what I said. Even the expansion out west, Manifest Destiny, was not imperial conquest in the historical sense. It was often complicated and chaotic and the Native American people's often suffered horribly, although they dished it out too. The reality is that the Great Plains was a vast territory that the US owned (purchased from France) and sparsely populated by small groups of Stone Age nomads. Clashes were inevitable and it was impossible for the status quo to continue.

---

So it was conquest, just not in the "historical" sense of conquering other human persons with dignity more or less equal to our own. Kind of like Palestine, I guess.

---

There is a difference between settling a land and conquering it. One cannot conquer land that nobody occupies. Much of it was unoccupied.

---

Really? I think there were quite a few reservations filled with people that would disagree. The Seminole's motto to this day is "Unconquered".

You really are a teacher?

---

Yes much of the land of both the Americas had no one on it. The tribes tended to live in small areas. The nomadic ones lived in smaller groups that moved around but it still meant that most of the land was unoccupied.

---

Wow, Iowa, Alaska, Texas, the whole southwest is open for occupation... Just because they didnt have a US recognized legal system of meets and bounds doesnt mean they didnt exist as nations. Didnt they teach you any other cultures in Texas. In NY we learned the Iriqous in Jr High... But if you guys believe we didnt conquer the Native tribes or they didnt have legal systems? Cant help you. But the Alamo... We were right there too. No war with Mexico, occupation of vacant land.

You guys can really mold things to be morally right... This site is an education.

---

Great job at taking what I said, taking a left turn, and going in a completely different direction. But that seems to be what you are good at.

I never said a word about legal system, boundaries, etc. Just that they didn't use the land or live on it. And of course you try to throw in digs at education.

---

No, that is what you said and you won't say you misspoke or stand corrected or used poor choice of words. Actually, none of you do.

But, they did! The plains indians whole lifestyle was based on using the land and following the herds with the seasons. We killed all of what they ate and used to live.

We did what we did, acknowledge it. Not everything we have done as a Nation is good. We have done a lot of good. But, also a lot of wrong. At least acknowledge the truth. The indians used the land and we wanted it so we killed their food supply, conquered them and put them on reservations. That is pretty much fact. Just like the Texicans rebelled and took Texas from Mexico. Call it like it is...

---

I never said any such thing. Please provide a direct quote where I said anything about a legal system.

I never said it so you won't be able to find it.

Yes the plains Indians followed the bison. But still the FACT remains much of the land was unoccupied.

Same as the land in the east that was massive forests. Or the land in the west.

So what I said is still facts and you went off on your own tangent.

---

Almost half the present-day United States is uninhabited. Fair game for conquest?

---

No it is owned by someone, used, and already CONTROLLED by a government. Why is this so hard to understand?

---

Well, if you're talking about ownership and government, you're talking about a legal system.

---

They just don't want to admit it was a poor analogy or outright wrong. That seems to be a big thing on this Board.

Or, they are true bigots that truly believe that the native Americans either didn't have a "legal" system or because it wasn't European doesn't count. Even Washington called it encroachment onto Indian Land. How many treaties referencing carving up Indian land. All through US history we have attacked, treatises, bought and managed Native land, even today. Why do you think Indian Nations run most Casinos, because it is on their land.

I don't even want to get into Mexico and how we conquered them for their land. Mexico wasn't a government controlling land after all.

I don't understand why it is so hard to understand that we did the same things other powers, including the native Americans did and conquered people to take land because we wanted it. We are not much different than the other European/Western nations. But, I do see how the MAGA mindset sets it, it is hard to understand other's positions when you can't be true to yourself about what you have done and who you are.

Just patronize them... "Yes, everything the US has done is because we are good and caring. You can sleep knowing you wear a white hat..."

---

You really do need to get help for you TDS. EVERY time I disagree with you on anything you throw out MAGA/Trump even though every time I keep pointing out to you I am not a MAGA or Trump fan. But in your world anyone who doesn't agree with you MUST be on the other side and support Trump.

It was not a poor analogy. It was a 100% accurate analogy that you took into a different direction and began to argue nuances. Instead of discussion you want to focus on ONE word. Like the Unoccupied word used and throw out idiotic arguments like medians aren't occupied, or yards aren't occupied, or federal land. but miss the point.

You brought up the Plains tribes so lets focus on them. They followed the Bison for their food source. They lived a lifestyle that was archaic by 2000 plus years. They refused to adapt and change with the time. Granted the US wanted them to advance 2000 years in a generation. But EVERY other society in the WORLD had advanced beyond where they were and adapted to a different, better lifestyle. I notice you also limited it to European/Western nations.... but the Asian nations all did the same thing. They pushed people out of their lands once upon a time as well. Or just killed them off completely.

We went to war with Mexico because a free country wanted to join the United States but Mexico did not like that and sent troops onto our land. After the war started and we won the goal was land. But that was NOT the reason we went to war. If you have proof that says otherwise provide it.

If you are so concerned about the land being "Conquered" feel free to give your land back to the correct native American tribe and get on the first plane out of the US.

BREAKING: Two days after Sec. Marco Rubio revoked his visa, Bolivia's Attorney General Roger Mariaca has been ARRESTED for purported money laundering and drug trafficking

HUGE FAFO!

Rubio's State Department said Mariaca took BRIBES to help drug traffickers and violent criminals evade justice

Police caught 4 people sneaking bundles of CASH out of his house in an AMBULANCE, and 14 people have now been arrested, including four prosecutors.

Bolivia's government says the arrest came with the cooperation of the U.S.

Marco was on to him, holding nothing back!

Since you and william think Gavin Newsom (a) should be in jail and (b) is an outright thief, I did a little digging. The link at the end of this post is from CBS News, but there are literally dozens of articles written at the same time on the subject. Some highlights:

The $24 billion was approved for a five-year period.

An audit, with results released in April 2024, was pretty scathing regarding the state's lack of accountability for the expenditures. It also found that only a couple of the expenditures were cost effective.

Given the timeline, the $24 billion was approved and much (if not most) of it spent before Newsom was elected.

It is clear that the auditors did find that the money was spent, albeit a majority of it was spent unwisely.

I did not see anything about a mansion or a home in Greece, but perhaps those are true. If so, I'm not sure why the governor should be jailed.

And there is absolutely zero evidence that Gavin Newsom profited from this. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Audit finds California spent $24B on homelessness in 5 years, didn't consistently track outcomes - CBS San Francisco

Obviously, Newsom should not be jailed if he did not commit any crime. I said that I suspect that he benefitted from this example of fraud. I also think he might have benefitted from the many other examples of fraud in California over the years, along with many other California politicians.

California Dems are so opposed to stopping fraud that they passed, and Newsom signed into law, the Stop Nick Shirley Act to prevent some of the best journalists in the country (who are exposing fraud) from publishing public information about the misuse of taxpayer money. In other words, they pass laws to protect the fraudsters.
