takes what they say as gospel

#1 | Posted by BellRinger

That's what you say happened...

To draw a parallel, how is that any different than you taking everything the Regime says as gospel? ..A Regime that lies more than any in history.

Face it.. you parrot every talking point that comes from this Regime. ..Are you secretly Scott Jennings?

Republicans are more socialist than most Democrats. Republicans are in favor of, and actually implemented, public ownership of private businesses (Intel, Westinghouse, US Steel). Obama took stakes in companies during the financial crisis, but then EXITED those stakes (moved away from socialism). Trump has absolutely no plans to exit the public ownership of private companies. And has been adding more and more over time.

I don't think governing Republicans, and especially Trump, see that a socialist. I think they see that as adding assets to their own portfolios, even if by force. I don't believe they have any intention of sharing any gains from these stakes with the American people.

It's Alabama. They don't need SNAP benefits. The swamp will provide.

I have no objection to teaching elementary school kids how to use tools and perform basic skills with said tools. Everyone should learn this early. I don't think elementary age kids should be locked into a career path yet.

No. Unfortunately, we're ALL reaping what YOU sow.

Even though I live in a very red rural area, I'm so happy that our local electric cooperative had the foresight to run fiber to most of its members. I don't pay the extra $20 for gigabit service because more than 400 Mb, both up and down is much more than adequate. But we've had Gigabit service, and even 10 Gb available since well before Trump or Starlink, and even before most big cities.

Trump is deliberately weakening the US on many levels. That his zombie followers can't see this is simply baffling.

Moderate Democrats are largely also crony capitalists. Much like old school Republicans. They're just not as bigoted, cold, calculating and corrupt as MAGA Republicans.

I find it very likely that Trumps ego has always wanted to use a nuke somewhere.. Plus the added bonus that he gets to declare Martial Law and suspend elections, and governance by anyone but himself.

If this happens, it significantly increases the chances that Putin would do the same on Ukraine.

From there... well I'll leave the rest to your imagination. But it would be the end of the world as we know it.

We spend a trillion dollars a year on defense

Everyone should be asking where the trillion dollars per year is going.. and why they think they need another half trillion. Iran and Ukraine are kicking butt on MUCH smaller budgets.

Seems like this might be leaving the door wide open on Taiwan.... ..Japan?

Flock doesn't really gaf how the cameras are used by any of its customers, especially the government. Although, I'm certain Flock will consider surveillance of innocents a feature. What Flock and its shareholders are MOST concerned about is making money.

Say anything...anything at all...condemning Iran's actions

Nobody is doing that because they/we are not interested in sinking to your level of hypocrisy.

Iran attacked...
Iran funded...
Iran armed...
Iran threatened...
Iran killed...

Here is a test for you... Can you follow any of those up with something Iran has done that the US hasn't?

Just to be clear, insurance rates are still increasing quite a bit faster than inflation. Most people don't see it because it's absorbed by their employer. But it's also a significant reason that wages don't keep up...

I take from Blanche's appointment

I think this appointment may put free and fair elections 6ft under. I think it has everything to do with their plans to sabotage the midterms

I could imagine being turned away from many countries if this Passport is what you present.

Happy extinction!

Sometimes I miss Zat's insight on such issues. He certainly understood the problem climate change would become. When he made that comment he knew he was spot on, even though he'd never live to see it.

The Earth is rushing to its 6th mass extinction. And the probabilities increase daily that mankind (at minimum a significant majority of it) will be one of the casualties.

Our legacy... Before they die, our grandchildren are going wonder WTF we were thinking.

You're correct. Who knew that Republicans would spend more than a decade undermining the ACA at every turn, instead of doing anything to actually improve healthcare?

We should of passed universal healthcare (or at least a single-payer option). Too bad the cronyist GOP would never let that happen. Which reminds me.. where is that plan to fix healthcare that Republicans/Trump have been promising every month for at least 15 years?

This may be the real test of whether we have a legitimate election.

BTW, contrary to GOP/MAGA nonsense, the U.S. made a profit from the automaker bailout.

Fair point. If Mitch were in KY, Beshear would probably have the legal authority to order a "wellness check". Does anyone know where the "rehab facility" is? Articles I've looked at are vague.

Beshear should demand no less than in-person access, and some video/audio footage of the interaction between Mitch and himself. That's the only way anyone will be convinced of McConnell's condition at this point.
