How is that the same?

It's not.

Conservatives often like to defend something by deflecting to a false equivalency or an outright lie, and then hope that no one notices or bothers to verify.

So I guess you know how much I gave to charity?

I would guess that you drop off a case of canned veggies to the food bank every December, and then brag about it.

I hope it works as well. It would be an amazing step towards the energy independence conservatives are constantly harping on about. I'd bet that in the background, gas and coal are probably lobbying to slow its development as much as possible.

After four years of Democrats and the media (I know they are the same thing) bragging

It didn't happen. And as far as the media goes, they were mostly agreeing with the imagined hardships described by the MAGA party. While for the last year or so the economy has actually been pretty good. But I'm sure you're going to argue that you've been paying too much for eggs.

The tech billionaire's influence is being fueled by threats to fund electoral challenges against those who defy him, creating a powerful incentive for Republicans to go along with his demands.

If Congress had any stones, they would have stuck some provisions to cut/cancel Musk's government contracts into the first revision. DOGE should approve of that.. right?

Good for them!

I'd love to still be around to see how they cope when their bodies are creaking and cracking and hurting from old age. As someone who beat myself up with some manual labor when I was younger, I much prefer dealing with my pain with cannabis over lots of prescription drugs. I do take Celebrex to help with arthritis. But as an Nsaid, I worry about some eventual effects to my liver or kidneys.

No President does such investigations. That would have been the job of Congress.

And Biden proved to be the first president too incompetent to stand trial for the same exact accusations.

Biden cooperated with authorities. Now what about Agent Orange? Some of documents that were in Trumps possession are still missing. Moron.

Until Democrats realize what the American people really want, they will continue to lose..

"The American people" want a lot of different things. Even just among conservatives. It's pretty arrogant of you to believe your views are the same as a majority of all Americans.

For example, a majority of Americans support stronger gun regulation, some sort of universal healthcare, and abortion rights. All things you generally oppose.

When I see these frequent violations, the same question always comes to mind.... Who's going to do anything about it?

As he said, it's about what people feel, the facts don't matter.

It's funny that they only felt it until Nov 6th.

Agent Orange is already owned by the Russians. He has been for decades.

We are both on the same page.

We are NOT on the same page. The positions we share have logical reasoning behind them. But I have seen you, like Boaz, hate on all LGBTQ+ people, regardless of age or social participation.

Full transparency. Let the chips fall where they may.

You good with that?

#52 | Posted by BellRinger

I'm all for that. But it's never going to happen.

Pretty sweet, getting a return of more than $700 per every dollar invested. Too bad such investments aren't available for the average American.

Trans athletes are extremely rare. But one again ,you attempted to divert off topic. In fact, you dragged this entire conversation off topic. Mostly with falsehoods.

You said:

Deliberate transing of kids including chemical castration and mutilation

#35 | Posted by BellRinger

I said:

But children are not being physically altered. You are lying, as usual.

#39 | Posted by Whatsleft

Where is any significant proof that there is "Deliberate transing of kids"?

And just for the record. I am against both transing children, and allowing trans people to participate in gender specific sports at a high level. As far as restrooms go. The problem could easily be solved by installing stalls that provide a reasonable level of privacy. Almost ALL of this is a relatively small problem that you ------ have turned into a hugely divisive political football.

And it STILL has hardly anything to do with the topic that Boaz brought up. Although, you have certainly demonstrated that you are one of the "trans and/or gay phobes" that Boaz doesn't want called out. Bigot.

#42

As usual, you fail to provide any substantial proof. Yet you expect to be taken seriously.

#37

Thanks for continuing to hammer that bigotry home to prove my point.

But children are not being physically altered. You are lying, as usual.

As of 2022 there were more than 15 million vacant residential units in the US.
In 2023 there were supposedly less than 1 million homeless people.

Given those numbers, please explain how immigrants are cause for any part of the so-called housing shortage.

#35

Even as I think what you bring up is the political equivalent of making mountains out of a mole hills, it's not even particularly on topic. You're proving your bigotry by conflating issues.

I see a MAGA future with fewer and fewer hamburgers.

If you agree that we have a climate problem, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Stop calling people nazi's. Stop calling people trans or gay phobes.

#13 | Posted by boaz

You are ALL of those things, Boaz.

Racism will never end if we cant stop talking about it.

#14 | Posted by boaz

It seems like Boaz simply wants to take a "See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil" approach, hoping all of his hurt feelings on these issues will disappear. Guess what Boaz.. These are still real issues. And they require real discussion.

Just the MAGA hatred of empathy and compassion won't make "woke" go away.

I would agree with most of that comment. Except, I would say that Democrats were just as culpable in creating a system that does nothing to improve the affordability or quality of healthcare for average consumers, while lining the pockets of the industry and its shareholders.

If they had genuinely intended to begin improving the system. The ACA would have at least included an optional single-payer component where anyone could participate. ...I know.. I know.. They didn't have the votes...

I do agree though that Republicans significantly undermined the law. Especially by doing away with the individual mandate, while retaining the employer mandate.
