    I suppose having a good week is better than having a bad week just like climbing 1 foot up the wall of a 500 foot hole you dug is better than making the hole 501 feet deep.

    I can kind of appreciate him saying they don't know what the **** they are doing. Sometimes it's nice to be blunt.  

    I think it's hard for people to accept that there has been financial improvements and most of that comes from a rejection from how he handles himself and his views on other things more socially aligned.

    The question, I think, is whether people put more value in an improving economy or social progression. Personally I would love to find a way to improve both but it seems we continue, as a country, to put those things into diametrically opposing camps so they have to play against each other.

    I've been saying forever, the reasons may vary, but both sides equally suck. 

    To the bolded, I agree, but I doubt I'll see it my lifetime.

    Thank you for the pro tip.  I clearly did not see that, my mistake.  Feel free to call it out but I wouldn't assume I am "perfectly fine" with it. Indeed, I would not be.

    This still does not mean your response is acceptable. This is the equivalent of "the other guy is doing it". So what. Do you complain to the police officer when he pulls you over for speeding but missed the 3 people in front of you?

    Bottom line, I'll watch for more comments like this as best I can but it doesn't mean you get to do it.

    You are a member of this "club" with rules clearly stated. If you are insisting others "Do Better" then I suggest you heed your advice.

    I don't dispute anything you say here. But, it's a pattern. I say something that doesn't align with someone else's view/feelings, they attack me, i respond in kind, you feel the need to admonished me. You give a strong impression of selective moderation based on who the poster is with no regard to what's actually being said. Opposing views are not welcomed here, that's why it's become an echo chamber with three posters. I've made it clear I'm no fan Trump, but I should be able to acknowledge the rare occasion he appears to do something right. Apologies for the previous snark. Moving on...

    When they have no facts or propaganda to fall back on they resort to insults. 

    So far prices of goods and services are at an all time high, the 1% Bill is the largest redistribution of wealth to the richest 1% in the history of America. Trump creating havoc and destruction in states he doesn't like. Also DODGE managed to save over $2 Billion for Tesla while actually not cutting any spending where it matters. 2 Trillion in savings became not even 70 Billion that will actually cost more in the long run b.c of the cuts to projects that helped the American people. 

    Instead you respond with this slop, "idiot" yea you sure got me there.

    I'd call it equivalent to your constant use of "MAGA scum" every time you get triggered.

    This is uncalled for and unacceptable. Discuss the topics, don't insult people.

    Yet you're perfectly fine with him telling me to stay on a different forum with people who don't think? Shame on you. You're a moderator, do better.

    You should stick to the TBD PPP place. Lots of people that don't think over there.

    That 400 billion will be paid by consumers. So you'll have trumps tax bill taking money from the ppl and giving it to his rich friends and then his tariffs doing the same thing. That 400 billion in revenue will be paid by you. 

    I would think you're more likely right than not. I'm pretty sure I saw that man on CNN some time ago, I thought it was interesting that he pivoted from his previous position. Don't know if he's right or wrong and I'm not knowledgeable enough about it to offer an opinion. Either way, my primary reason for linking the article was...

    So funny watching people be happy to pay more money. China made Trump bend the knee in the tarrif war, Trump has no idea what he is doing other than making himself a ton of money while hurting the American people. All his supporters can do is link random news articles that spread propaganda for Trumps state media.

    ...this 😆  I needed something this morning to put a smile on my face. I knew I could count on this idiot to give me a TDS inflicted Trump rant for me to laugh at. Again 🤣🤣🤣

    Beyond disgusting. Please tell me again how we are not dealing with a fascist regime? Defying the courts and the rule of law is STEP ONE in the Fascist 101 playbook. MAGA scum.

    I assume you feel the same way about District Judge Brian Murphy who stated he plans on defying a Supreme Court ruling?

    A conveniently forgotten fact by the radical right. Trump’s pulling out of that treaty singlehandedly allowed Iran to acquire vast amounts of uranium unchecked by the IAEA and the signatory nations to the treaty which was the case between the signing of the JCPOA in 2015 and 2018 when Trump pulled out of the agreement. Just an absolutely boneheaded move that undid a deal that was working. 

    As to whether or not it Trump “did the right thing” with the bombing attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities, we won’t know the answer to that for a while. I guarantee he and his administration will continue to lie about it, regardless. 

    Sharp as a tack.

    Remember that time trump left the Iran nuclear deal that was keeping them from having nuclear weapons?

    Pepperidge farms remembers

    Just curious, did you buy low when I suggested? I bought all the Nvidia I could. As much as I hate Trump, his brazen, and I'm guessing illegal, tanking of the market made me a killing.

    I don't understand your point.

    Right move with Iran?

    I personally think so. 

    Of course it was! Iran can not have nuclear weapons, Trump did the right thing hitting them while they're weak.

    A few things on this. First, Hageman is a member of the freedom caucus which is right wing as right wing can get. Considering members of the freedom caucus are expressly loyal to Trump and touted his 2020 election lie, which is partially how Hageman was elected, I think we are still on decent grounds. Second, Hageman is saying that 80% of the funding for the department of ed is money laundered. If that were the case how come the republicans haven't shown proof or shown any interest in such a thing. They have controlled both the House and Senate but now all of sudden they found this out? Why now? Why doesn't she have proof? Where is the proof? 

    Until she provides proof, I believe she is lying.

    Already is becoming illegal. God Emperor Trump and Shadow President Musk are the arbiters of truth. 

    Okay, fair enough. You make some valid points.

    From what I can tell all the money and weaponry the U.S. sent Ukraine hasn’t stopped Russian occupation. Additionally, Russia relied on conscripts and contract forces (Wagner) to gain what it took. Not exactly their A-Team, which they do have. My question to anyone who wants to answer is, how far are you willing to go?

    To be blunt are you willing to send U.S. forces en mass into Ukraine to engage in overt combat operations against Russia?

    If not, what makes you think more money and weapons will do anything different than what has already happened?

    No. 

    And, I don't.

    There is no difference. It's partisan politics and proof that both sides and any media the is complicit with it are the problem. As I will keep saying.

     

    I think we're in lockstep on this, my point was likely poorly made. Selective outrage. Selective coverage with bias. Fox News is a tool used by the republican party, MSNBC/CNN is a tool used by the democratic party. 

  14. Federal employees under contract are being fired under Trump and Fox News is the only network that is NOT outraged. 

    Soldiers, also Federal employees under contract, were fired under Clinton and Obama. Fox News was the only network that WAS outraged. 

    What's the difference?

    Nah, none of that matters. It happened last time to with Republicans doing the same thing. The gov't shutdown is just another show.

    I'm hoping you're wrong but I suspect you are not. I believe if the Dems can/will not unify we'll see the Republicans majority grow in both the House and Senate come 26.
