Fine. Which drugs did he cut by 87%?

If he actually did that, then I will accept that he just misspoke.

But if he didn't do that either, it is just another sign of his dementia.

Inflation the lowest it's ever been.

Lowest it's EVER BEEN? It's not even below the FED target. Is that what Fox News told you to believe?

I get insulted when people tell me lies, primarily because I find it insulting that they think I am stupid enough to believe their lies.

I guess if you are actually there stupid, then you do not feel insulted.

Interesting. I see both sides of the argument but I don't see the current requirement changing.

I agree. I think quarterly reporting causes a lot of harm. But transparency is also important. It is a complex issue.

They're about to try the shutdown nonsense again. If it gets to the point of SNAP being in jeopardy, watch again who will cave the fastest when that time comes.

SNAP benefits do help Republicans more. Conservatives only care about helping the rich. Liberals care about all of their constituents, including the ones who vote for the other party. Conservatives don't even care about the suffering of the people who voted for them (exhibit A... have you gone to the store recently?).

But also, SNAP benefits were extended for the whole year when the government was reopened. In the government shutdown in January, Republicans will not be able to starve women, children, and other disadvantaged people to try to get what they want.

The BIG question is why are Republicans unable to get their act together and pass a bill to fund the government? Why are they still using Biden finding levels instead of passing their own? A continuing resolution is a stopgap measure. If it is used at all it is evidence that Congress is failing at their jobs.

And it has been used for the past two years. The REPUBLICAN Congress has been unable to pass a proper funding bill, has continued Biden era funding levels, for two years now.

You'd rather have people die than Trump have a win.

Lol. Dems did not torpedo this deal. It was completely due to Republican incompetence. And we said from the beginning that he doesn't know what he is doing. That he oversimplifies very complex issues, says he can fix them and the gullible mouth breathers believe him. I wish he wasn't so stupid and incompetent. But the facts, like this one, do not lie. So we have to content ourselves with saying "I told you so", because we did.

I see, Cl*nton on the list, but not president. Innocent.
Tr*mp on the list when he wasn't the president. Guilty.

I have no reason to believe Clinton is innocent. They are both probably guilty.

I agree with you that Clinton does not represent my values. I will never vote for him, and will support his removal from any and all public offices or positions of power.

Now your turn. Will you say the same about Trump? Or, like the rest of the pedophile supporting conservatives, does Trump still represent your values and you are committed to supporting him and keeping him in public office and positions of power?

Replacing an employee usually ends up costing between 50% and 100% of their salary. Do conservatives have no idea about the realities of business? Why did they waste all this money by firing all these people?

It'd be great if both sides could f off with the Gerrymandering.

California's gerrymandering was specifically in response to Texas's. Without Texas blatantly trying to gerrymander first, liberals in CA would not even be considering it.

Also, California gerrymandering will automatically revert back to its un-gerrymandered state at the next redistricting (after the next census). The only way they could keep it us with a brand new ballot initiative.

Liberals intentionally set it up to try to get rid of gerrymandering (while not unilaterally disarming).

Republicans in Texas are all in on gerrymandering and have shown every intention of gerrymandering as much as possible in the future.

Daylight's a burning.

Which is all the more important for a sundowner. ;)

Are you suggesting one is less illegal than the other?

#20 | Posted by sentinel

I would say that there are things that are "more" illegal than others. Carrying out the initial strike might or might not be illegal. An argument could be made that it was illegal, but a decent argument could be made that it wasn't. I would not be in favor of the people who carried out the first strike being tried for murder, even if a court came to the conclusion it was an illegal order.

The second strike was very definitively, was "more", illegal. The people who carried out that strike should be tried and jailed for murder, as well as anyone who ordered it. Anyone who would order it or carry it out is scum and should be removed from society in order to protect said society.

And people often screw up at least once. Usually many times.

These are the "second amendment solutions" Republicans are always going on about, right?

Republicans are punishing poor people, elderly people, and children, intentionally trying to make them starve, for political purposes... theoretically for political gain?

I was just looking at another thread where BillJohnson was talking about being a Christian.

How does this conform with Christian values?

It's also a knee-jerk reaction to the spike in cancer since the shot became available.

#3 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Is it a spike in cancer since the shot became available, or a spike in cancer since COVID?

As far as I could find, the shot did cause some adverse reactions, so saying the shot caused damage was probably accurate. BUT, for pretty much every adverse reaction the shot caused, (like myocarditis,) getting COVID without the shot caused the same damage but much worse. So if you choice was only between getting the shot and not getting the shot, it is better to not get the shot. But that was not the choice. The choice was between getting the shot before getting covid, or getting covid without the shot. Because everyone ended up getting covid at some point. And in that case, as far as I have been able to tell, the outcomes for EVERY demographic was significantly better if you got the shot.

If you have evidence that shows to the contrary, I would love to see it.

Why do Republicans need a CR in the first place? The way it is supposed to work is they actually go through the appropriations process to fund the government. That ends in reconciliation, which is filibuster proof, so Republicans actually would not need any Democrats to pass it.

So why is the House not working to go through the PROPER process to fund the government, and instead are refusing to do any work on it unless Dems pass their stopgap measure?
