How we got here:

Trump fumbled a pandemic, so to save his reputation his whole cult had to act like the pandemic was a hoax, which turned into the vaccine is a hoax, which turned into all vaccines are hoaxes, which turned into dead americans.

More blood on the hands of maga morons.

This closeted gay ran all the way to russia because he needs laws against homosexuality to prevent him from kissing men.

And it doesn't stop when a democrat occupies the white house.

That's not to minimize what's happened here and I'm glad this is getting the attention it deserves.

No it's to defend republican fascism with false equivalencies to non fascists.

Insurance is not health care. It's the preventer of health care.

#11 | Posted by visitor_

Yeah which is why liberals want to get rid of it. Why do conservatives stand in the way?

Insurance companies hardest hit.

And what happens when a corporation takes a financial hit? Do they cut executive pay, or raise prices on consumers?

How many boosters are we up to now?

Why? What's wrong with trump's vaccine?

Now you have to buy american tomatoes - the ones that are picked before they are ripe so they have no flavor, and then stored in a gas chamber to delay rotting. And most americans are too stupid to notice, if they even consume fresh tomatoes.

Who else did you think was going to fund the tax cuts for billionaires? YOU ARE SUCKA.

It's just normal Republican logic. Yes, this is going to benefit the rich incredibly and there is no hiding that at all. However, as usual it will help the average person but only if they know how to take advantage of it and can take the risk. In other words, very few average people (by proportion) will see any benefit to this.

What really shocks me about this decision though is the tax implications. I haven't read the full details yet but I want to know the estimates on tax income for the government. 401k gains are not taxed, so it will be like the IRA situation in which you can add in a certain amount to shield from taxes. Which means, sometime in the next 3 or so years we are going to see both parties trying really hard to increase that cap significantly in order to take advantage of more shielding. Which, again, really helps the average person who knows how to take advantage of it but not nearly as much as the rich.

So what problem is this going to solve? The rich not having enough money? The deficit not being big enough?

Speaksoftly,

The fact you see nothing wrong with your comment shows me you aren't "normal".

It's inappropriate to discuss posters families on this site without their bringing up the subject...that's not "normal".

It's inappropriate to insinuate anything about "killing". Again...you're not "normal". Get help.

Inappropriate comments about my wife are off limits....so leaving is my only choice.

#354 | Posted by BillJohnson

Sounds like you've found your "liberals made me do it" excuse for why you need to run and hide in a maga bubble of delusion.

If you really gave a ---- about inappropriate comments, you wouldnt support trump.

Wanting pedophiles to be punished is not a political issue for us - it is a defining moment for us as a society.

#304 | Posted by ScottS

The political moment for you will come in the midterms. Where you will prove what you want by choosing to vote for or reject the republicans who voted to keep the list a secret. We already know what you'll do.

If you really gave a ---- you wouldn't have elected epstein's party pal in the first place. None of this was a secret.

The GOP did - Not MAGA. Learn the difference -------.

#292 | Posted by ScottS

There is no difference anymore -------. You let your whole party be overthrown by the world's most obvious con man, who funded his businesses with russian loans, partied with epstein for years, is the opposite of every biblical teaching, and blew up the deficit to give money to the rich.

Well, if anyone deserves to be fired for total incompetence, it is her. Seems incompetence runs in the family.

#2 | Posted by ScottS

And the prosecutor who gave epstein a sweetheart deal gets...A JOB IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION! What a huge coincidence right?

For me, like most MAGA, we want the list released and pedophiles punished regardless of a D or R after their name. And - unlike the ------- liberals - we don't want this for political gain - we want it BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

#288 | Posted by ScottS

So how are you going to punish all the repubs who are blocking its release?

Dems are the ones voting to release it. Guess you should have voted for them instead.

Rogers Cadenhead,

What the ---- is wrong with this site that allows posters to have open accounts after suggesting I kill my wife?

#157 Speakeasy

Do something...

If he continues to have an account I am premanently leaving this site.

That is a promise.

#282 | Posted by BillJohnson

"For a few hundred thousand you could kill your wife and get a presidential pardon."

This ------ took this as a real suggestion. That explains why he supports republicans.

okay....moving along now.....politicians use religion to win elections (and that equals fascism..whatever floats your boat...fine)

You're telling me how it's done and by whom.......but you're obviously leaving out some of the "who".

Who else is guilty of using religion to enact fascism?

#268 | Posted by eberly

In the mideast its muslin extremists and jewish extremists. In america it's christian extremists. Same type of regressive gullible brain, just born in a different culture.

Renewables don't make energy cheaper.

#2 | Posted by oneironaut

They literally do. You're a moron.

261

for votes. What does stumping for votes have to do with hatred and fascism?

republicans for many years have courted the religious right. What does that have to do with hatred and fascism?

democrats court minorities, labor unions and young people. I don't see that as hatred or fascism.

#262 | Posted by eberly

Because the democrat agenda isn't pro hatred or pro fascism. The republican agenda is.
Republicans use religion to gain votes that empower them to enact fascism. It's really not complicated.

You are either pretending to be too stupid to get it, or you really are that stupid.

If you're pointing to Trump then just point to Trump for being a hateful fascist.

what does the bible have to do it? or shamelessly selling one.

#259 | Posted by eberly

Why do you think trump connected himself to the bible einstein?

Speak,

Or for $1000 dollars I can one autographed by the Don himself.

#254 | Posted by BillJohnson

For a few hundred thousand you could kill your wife and get a presidential pardon.

Speak,

The God Bless the USA was for profit and that's about it.

Thanks for posting the link again.

I might get me the Camo version.

#252 | Posted by BillJohnson

That bible was to make gullible christian morons like yourself think that trump was the candidate christians should vote for.

Not surprising that you're so gullible and stupid you need multiple copies.

"We hate people who use religion for hatred and fascism."

How does a person use religion for hatred and fascism? This should be good......

#240 | Posted by eberly

Speak,

Manafort? Yeah terrible pick. But calling him a "Russian asset" is a stretch. Even Mueller didn't go that far. He was a shady lobbyist with sketchy ties but if that makes someone a "Russian asset", DC is full of them. Manafort wasn't a Russian asset but he was a corrupt lobbyist with dirty foreign ties and tax fraud convictions. Trump hiring him was dumb, not treason.

As for Crimea, the U.S. never recognized Russia's annexation, not under Trump, not under Biden. Obama let Crimea fall without doing a thing, so maybe spare the selective outrage.

No. Hillary didn't make Trump choose Manafort. But she sure helped kick off a smear campaign that fed the illusion of collusion which you're still parroting.

#209 | Posted by BillJohnson

What made manafort a terrible pick then?

Before trump hired him to be his campaign manager, manafort worked installing putin puppets in democracies across europe. What would you call that?

Reminder - manafort was 17 million in debt to russia, yet charged trump NOTHING. Of course mueller was banned from looking into trump's financial ties to putin.

-We don't hate actual religious people. We hate people who use religion for hatred and fascism.

100% lie.

#197 | Posted by eberly

Name a religious person I hate simply for being religious.

Speak,

"They think Russiagate was a hoax."

---- right it wasn't a hoax.

It was a calculated smear campaign funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign to make it look like Trump was colluding with Russia.

#193 | Posted by BillJohnson

Ok then you can tell us your innocent explanation for how trump ended up choosing russian asset paul manafort as his campaign manager, out of everyone in the world he could have picked.

How did Hillary make trump choose a russian asset? How did hillary make trump immediately rewrite the GOP platform to say Putin can keep crimea? Mind control?
