-Biden isn't pro union.

Why do union members agree with you?

-Biden isn't pro union. He's pro union leadership. Big difference.

How so? Are you referring to the reality that union leadership consistently endorses democratic party members despite the fact that a large chuck, the majority sometimes, of the membership votes for republicans despite that endorsement?

Hans, I doubt anybody who actively posts here has you plonked.

Because the post count is low?

Not enough interest?

gotta run. Another great exchange. I love those.......

-Early on, there was hope that Putin would be able to reign in the corruption that occurred under Yeltsin

Aaahh..Hope and Change. I heard that somewhere before.

Turns out there was never any reason to be supportive of Putin.

But those Putin favorability polls didn't drive election results, did it?

Did it make commies out of anybody who may have responded favorably and did that favorability undermine what either party was doing with regards to national security?

IOW, did it really matter?

Flood insurance is tough under any circumstances. Regardless of if it's required because you live in a flood plain AND you owe on a mortgage or if it's just purely voluntary.

It's hard to get it fully insured regardless, is my point.

The flood program sucks...plain and simple.

but I accept your point. It does say that some republicans have a more favorable view of Putin than democrats........

correction.....it's the second link I'm referencing and it's not an entire 10 year window.

But it does show that democrats had a higher opinion of putin for some time.......

what does that mean?

the first link proves the democrats over the past 10 years have more supportive of Putin than the republicans.

But lax building regulations and flood insurance/NFIP are way different things. You brought in the flood insurance part...not me.

I know, but that's boring.

Throw some fire........LOL

Maybe it's lost on you but that's trashing democrats.....

It's like a bunch of dads talking about who they want their daughters to marry......"I'd rather my daughter marry a Ni$$er than a Jew".

does that comment sound like those dads like blacks?

"Hopefully the RNC has enough money left over after paying Trump's legal bills to help rebuild homes for the constituency they failed to adequately protect and insure."

If you have evidence either party has drawn the flood plain maps the National Flood Insurance Program uses.....then please cite it.

-The decision most likely left more homes exposed to flooding, according to Chad Berginnis, executive director of the national Association of State Floodplain Managers.

That's kind of weak. Why can't he say "definitely" rather than "most likely"?

that gets his opinion brushed under the rug.

are you including voters in that?

republican voters admit to being pro Russia?

-Biden has said, though, that he won't intervene in the strike

I think the Dockworkers were counting on that. Might be the reason for the timing of this strike?

But experts like Brucher suggest that most voters have already made up their minds and that the election outcome is "really more about turnout" now.

Which means, Brucher said, that "Democrats really can't afford to alienate organized labor."

Surprise......

-In case you haven't been paying attention Russia is not a friend of democracy

neither is China, or North Korea, or a ton of other countries all over the world. Many of whom have at least the same interest in the outcome of our elections.

You're arguing a ton of countries should be meddling.....but we only hear about Russia.

And I'm saying they don't and that this isn't really happening. There's obvious evidence of that. You just posted some.

He has to get Trump out of his life and unable to wreck things for him before this is possible.

And he's a ways from that......

Good discussion. I have to jump off.

But I sincerely appreciate the thoughtful posts.

-Trump's destroyed the party they used to call home.

you forgot Reagan did that.

-I'm not alluding to a sense of concern about them destroying the federal government. There was none.

--------. You're lying.

you were in the camp of lunatics here claiming Bush was going to remain in the White house even if he lost.

-Vance is just another MAGA without character

today.

15 years from now, he'll move over the line to being a traditional conservative....assuming he's no longer a threat to be a president. which is possible for quite a while unless Trump destroys him and his entire career...which is also possible.

-McCain and Romney were traditional conservatives

my point is that they are now.

But not when they were running. They were described precisely as you describe Trump. racist, dirtbag, anti-choice, pro-war, anti-poor/middle class, only care about the rich.
