" All I've heard for you and the rest of the Klown Kar for the past two years is that Ukraine was kicking Russian ass"

From what I've heard, Putin is going to take Kiev in three days.

You were saying?

"On that we agree."

Well, my theory is it's Republican Sheriffs in Republican counties looking the other way because the Republican members of the Chambers of Commerce are the largest donors to the Sheriffs' re-election campaigns.

Do we agree?

If not, what's your theory?

Me:
"But you're completely against additional tax cuts while running a deficit budget, right?"

Bellringer:
"Nope."

Nice to see you admitting it, without equivocation.

"Nice to hear you acknowledge that without equivocation."

How about you scream without equivocation that an additional $4.5 trillion of tax cuts is unthinkable when you're already running a deficit budget.

Now is the time to actually show yourself to be a non-partisan.

I know: pretend it's the Democrats proposing another 10% of all the debt we've racked up since 1776.

" Well, if they are "undocumented", they need to get documented."

Are the guys who knowingly hire the undocumented ever going to get arrested? Or are they exempt, as "job creators"?!?

" Is there a list with risk associated?"

It's in the cemetery.

Or not there, depending.

"Why is it news today?"

Because the President got elected promising to lower egg prices on the first day.

He seems to be using Putin's version of three days.

By "first day", did he mean "of the 2028 Olympics" ... ?

" Up for what time periods?"

During the bans and new restrictions, it would follow.

"How much does the rate usually fluctuate between time periods?

Without looking, I'd bet the average rate fluctuation is less than this current 5.5% rise.

It's also to be expected, when you turn the macro dials in that direction.

"Georgia's communities are still facing unprecedented losses and millions of dollars in incurred clean-up costs."

Didn't they get the memo? You're on your own, Georgia!

Who needs FEMA?

" just like when President Biden told the Justice Dept to attack Trump."

If that's the case, I'm sure you can point to at least ONE of Trump's indictments, for which you or I could commit the action, and not fear legal repercussions.

Just provide one. You've got over 90 examples. Just produce ONE.

Or admit you can't.

"Do you guys ever have a REAL situation where Trump is ending the world?"

How about using the George Will standard:

If Donald Trump was sent to destroy America...what would he be doing differently?

"Dietderich later said that the dismissed probationary employees "held primarily administrative and clerical roles.""

Primarily = 50% +1.

Or he could've meant pleurality.

" Does increasing spending while running a deficit budget fall into the same category?"

Of course. That's basic math.

But you're completely against additional tax cuts while running a deficit budget, right?

You're foursquare against the current Republican budget plan, correct?

I've accused you of being dead silent at a moment like this in the past.

Are you going to be dead silent at a moment like this again?

"we don't have the money"

Giving tax cuts while running a deficit budget is 100% NEW BORROWING.

"we don't have the money"

You're joking, right? The Republicans just proposed $2 trillion dollars of spending cuts and $5.75 trillion dollars* of tax cuts.

The Republicans DEFINITELY believe we have PLENTY of money.

*includes interest

Don't forget Extraordinary Theories Without Extraordinary (or Any, for that matter) Proof!

"Sounds more like a rhetorical question"

Sounds like you're afraid to answer a very sensible question.

It also sounds like you're lying to yourself, and trying to lie to us as well.

How can a gay man publicly marrying a woman not be one aspect of being in the closet?

" My life has been an open book with friends and family."

I'll repeat: isn't a gay man publicly getting married to a woman the epitome of being in the closet?

"Are there any other tricks you would like to do for us?"

Nah, you've already rolled over and played dumb.

" the higher than expected inflation numbers are from last year. "

Remind me what day the election occurred.

And for the record...is it your position the winning candidate owns NONE of the reaction?!?

Make Alphaviruses Great Again!

"I was never really in a closet."

Not even during your wedding ceremony?!? Isn't a gay man marrying a woman "peak" closet???

"Ironically, gays can be very intolerate."

Yet that's one trait you'll never see in a child raised by a gay couple. Ever.

Go figure.

"Banned? No. Not at all. They denied access to a swearing in. While I absolutely disagree with the decision it's not a "ban"."

Remember when "government overriding the editorial board" was A BAD THING in your book? When threatening owners with retribution was WRONG? Remember how you condemned Twitter for bucking to government censorship in 2020, and blamed candidate Biden instead of President Trump?

Well, here's a clear attempt at censorship: The WH doesn't want the AP to report on actual facts. Don't just "absolutely disagree", condemn, and with equal (or ideally, greater) vigor.

Sentinel is the Japanese tourist, stunned at America's reaction to him giving everyone the middle finger.

I mean...in Japan, that's a FRIENDLY gesture!!!
