"Looks like semantics are all you got to defend your insistence that this is business as usual."

I'm just wondering if you know something that's not in the article I'm coming to the conclusion that you don't even know what IS in the article

-So your claim is, Mike Johnson is acting independently of Trump?

No. I just wonder if you've read any of the attached article.

"Ohhh. Conditions, not concessions.

Looks like semantics are all you got to defend your insistence that this is business as usual."

What are they? If they exist ... .tell me what they are.

I'm not saying there aren't any. I'm saying I don't know what they are.

Let me ask you ... ... .do you really think there will be concessions/conditions on federal aid for this disaster?

"It means never before in history has the president elect of the United States or Congress asked for concession in order to help the people of the United States. "

This article is quoting the speaker of the house, not the president elect

And he's not asking for a concession. He's saying there should be conditions.

But I don't know what they are.

Do you?

-At least 4 more years of this insanity.

Now now ... ..you're not insane.

Just immature

"Even the last criminal moron republican president didn't blackmail New Orleans after Katrina, even though he hated black people."

I'm sure he did. It just didn't get reported.

"Was this comment supposed to mean something?"

Yes

"When has the federal government ever needed an exchange in order to provide federal assistance to a state hit by a natural disaster?"

Is this comment supposed to mean something?

Is Johnson setting conditions or not?

What are they?

Oh ----....Lamp is going through my trashcan.

How cute.....I just love him. I left him some used condoms.......

Nobody here needs Twoothy to point out the ignorance and hypocrisy of the typical Trump voter who doesn't understand how policies from the Trump administration are going to actually hurt them.

I don't disagree with that reality. It's completely absurd.

but the ---- you ---- magat scum ---- scum magat scum ---- magat scum ---- magat scum ---- magat ---- scum magat ---- scum I hope your ------ kids die of cancer after they are beated and impoverished............it's like watching someone on Jackass wiping out over and over.......

I thought there were more Trump loving republicans in California than anywhere else.

Further, I thought it was republicans who were the bottom feeding leeches on the govt ---.

I read what Johnson said....it's quite vague. Not sure what he really wants in exchange for the aid.

when will a bill be procured and voted on?

"---- you soulless ----.
---- you lying piece of ---- troll
---- u u magat scum"

Bell, you own this dumpster diving fat ---.

lock, stock, and barrel.

-I am not talking about the kids.

everybody here reading this is cringing.

your temper tantrum is an unending series of stupid, heartless, crass, redneck, jokes that nobody find funny or with any purpose.

you have brought the kids into this all by yourself and now you can get their ---- off your face.

and the list of folks who normally with you on issues are trying to tell you stop stomping around like a ------ 5 year old. You won't even listen to them.

swallow it

-I am not wishing kids die.

If that were true you'd leave the kids out of it.

But you can't. You keep bringing them into this because you want them to die. I don't care if you really want that or not. I don't care.

You are exactly THAT pissed off to keep dragging them into it.

Your temper tantrum is still not over.

Nobody believes you care about kids you wish would die just to spite their parents.

57

Wow, I looked that up on wiki.

Didn't know all that.

-not paying child support.

do you pay your child support?

I would imagine you do if you're going to bring it up.

An Arkansas trailer trash dead beat dad?

decent chance he was a racist...........

but my point is that you don't really care about the sins of the father.

stop pretending you do

"Your selfish deplorable way of thinking is what got us here. And Americans suffering because of their foolishness is now the only way out.

That is why I call you deplorable. Because you speak deplorably."

Jesus Christ, Donner is such a desperate little twerp.

There is nothing in that fat ----- miserable failed life he won't blame on me....just for attention.

Obviously, nobody can even remotely describe what success looks like.

maybe don't use works like "success" if they are too big for you.

What does success look like?

How would it differ from the past 4 years with billionaires thriving under Biden.

And under Obama

Christ, if any president screwed the wealthy, it was Trump due to the mishandling of COVID.

Success?

Maybe that's why MORE billionaires contributed heavily to Harris compared to Trump.

-Trumps dad was arrested at a Klan rally

Bill Clinton's dad was a dead beat.

So was Barack Obama's.....

Isn't it awesome to see a 2 month long temper tantrum from twoothy?

He's like Marytylerwhore...only better.

-What more can I have done to get their magat scum parents to make better choices?

something tells me you don't have to drive far to a ------ neighborhood chock full of parents who can't make good choices.

Maybe you can simply look out the window???

I pay for free healthcare, education, free meals, welfare, social services, family and child services, law enforcement, criminal justice system, etc.....in most part because parents don't give a ---- about their kids and can't make very good choices.

It's how it works.

If you find a way to get people to do what you want them to do....let me know. I'd love to know how you did it.

"No dumbass, I am pissed because my fellow americans are morally bankrupt....blah blah....didn't ensure a democratic party victory..."

Isn't this how you respond every time a democrat loses?

every time? Every republican in your lifetime who won the White House has been accused of all the same things.

But this time you mean it when you predict all this?

Look, I'm done with this for now.....but I'll say this......I'm not interested in proving you right or wrong. You're making a ---- ton of predictions of how things will go and a few others here are chiming in with agreement.

I'm not interested in declaring you wrong because all I'm doing is making a prediction.

This is just a discussion and reflection on the optics of what we see when power switches in the WH. That's it.

By no means is it a defense of anything Trump does or attempts to do. I voted against him just like you did and our reasons probably align pretty strongly.

I'm just pointing out there is very little you're predicting that hasn't been predicted every time a member of the GOP moves into the WH in our lifetimes.

Where you and I differ isn't in any of that. It's in the hatred and contempt you express because you didn't get your way.

IOW, what does "succeeding" look like with the oligarchs in charge now?

distinguish this "success" from what the uber wealthy have experience with democrats occupying the white house?

billionaire after billionaire gave massive sums to Harris. Some have hedged their bets now by supporting Trump.

The wealthy want access, a voice, as much control as possible....I get that.

But how were they shut out of it all when Biden and Obama and Clinton were president?

Those folks have done EXTREMELY well with those folks in power.

what does success look like, corky?

-Just because they didn't succeed before doesn't mean they won't succeed now

what kept the uber wealthy from getting what they want in the past?

and did billionaires suffer when Obama and Biden were president?

Did they not thrive?

I really have things to do.....and there is place to go with this anyway.

You want fellow americans to suffer what you think they deserve....because they asked for it by voting for Trump.

I think you misunderstand why people don't vote the way you think they should.....and we have elections for a reason.

you're not pissed at people who voted for Trump.......you're pissed he won. outright won.

You possess a quality I look for in candidate for my business.

You hate to lose. You really really really hate to lose.
