I finally blocked an ex-friend everywhere, including phone/text/email, who’s a proud maggot. I can’t have maggots in my life. They’re anti everything I believe and stand for. To ice the cake, he’s gay. Who does he think they’re coming for? Not him? 🙄

Thank you for calling this sick MAGA cult what it is: WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM. And thank you for calling out these milquetoast privileged asshats whose heads are firmly wedged up their asses. This is a fucking five alarm fire. Those who are sane need to act accordingly.

Joe Biden is a great President. If you honestly look at his accomplishments, the economy, the recovery from COVID, his responses to some truly horrifying international situations, he is knocking it the fuck out of the park!

I am so sick and tired of hearing young people on the left whine that it’s another lesser of 2 evils situation. How dumb can a person get? Lesser of two evils?! Biden has accomplished a lot for the American people despite roadblocks from RescumliCons every inch of the way. I don’t happen to agree with Biden being so gentle with Netanyahu. But I’m not going to exchange that for full on Fascism. Some of these younger left wingers are using sound bites the right wing MAGAs put out there for them. And they can’t be moved! Just like MAGAs! I am no longer in contact with anyone claiming to be a rescumliCon. They are endangering our country, my family and my rights as a woman! I will never forgive anyone who supports this fascism. They simply are of ZERO value to me, I don’t care if they are family or family friends.

You are another useful idiot for MAGAs. Your ignorance is stunning. Biden passed much needed legislation to give hope for prosperity after trump mangled the pandemic, destroyed the economy and led an insurrection to overthrow the government. Biden lowered the unemployment rate from 6.3% to 3.5% and has held the unemployment rate below 4% for the longest period in 50 years. Biden created 15 million jobs in a little over 3 years (a record). Bidenomics grew the economy at a rate of 3.1% last year and reduced inflation to 1.9% from 9%. Biden united the West to help Ukraine fight Russia. Biden passed the first gun safety legislation in thirty years. The following legislation was also passed during Biden's first term: Bipartisan Infrastructure Legislation, The Electoral Count Act, Science and Chips Act, Respect For Marriage Act, American Rescue Plan, PACT Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

You ignore trumps daily lies, violent threats, conviction of rape, 2 impeachments, collusion with Russia, incitement of a DEADLY sedition, a man who speaks in word salad & threats.trump did not bring back jobs from China, as he promised, he didn’t get Mexico to build the wall,he gave $2TRILLION in tax cuts to the wealthy.

In one year BIDEN added more jobs than trump did in 4 years, reversed the anti-union trend, set policies to reduce “super” pollutants like methane, advanced cutting edge research on cancer, had 740 million Covid-19 tests sent to tens of millions of Americans, invested $5 trillion in American working people, REDUCED THE DEFICIT by $1.4 trillion by 2nd year in office, reduced cost of prescription drugs.

Bye SHEEP of the year!

You haven’t said anything specific, just talking points you absorb like an ignorant spong. You are laughably stupid.

Expand full comment

Yeah, you’ve just been blocked, MAGAT.

Expand full comment

Maybe you should sit down and shut up.

Biden:

The Chips and Science Act-jobs for Americans

The build back better infrastructure Act -jobs for Americans, better roads, bridges…

Enforcing the student loan forgiveness plan that has been on the books but never enforced - savings for American teachers and public servants who had to take out loans for education, paid for the years as agreed and worked in their fields for 10 years.

Sound foreign policy,

A willingness to reach across the isle for the best possible solutions for our country.

Willing to give the gop just about everything they requested to solve the problems at our borders, not good enough for trump or the gop because they need something to campaign on. Some crisis if it can wait.

Supports equality for all before the law, supports the rights of women to have autonomy over their own bodies.

Enforcing antitrust laws to break up corporate monopolies that are currently price gouging us all.

Biden is an empathetic leader working for all Americans.

Trump:

Has proven his business acumen sucks, too many failures to list.

He is a womanizer,rapist and cheat.

He is a white collar criminal of the highest order.

He is a Russian puppet who would throw the entire country under the bus if it benefitted him.

What did he do with his 4 years

Golfed, whined, killed many citizens during the global pandemic he minimized, tried to overturn a fairly won election, incited an insurrection, lies like a rug, intimidates witnesses, steals money from his donors to pay his legal fees then doesn’t pay his lawyers. His crowning achievement was overturning roe v wade (great job there) oh and giving tax breaks to the top 1% which will never trickle down to anyone. Yep he is not getting my vote ever.

How about the x- heroine addict, anti- vaxer RFK Jr.

His own family won’t support him, he is a far right extremist who believes in conspiracy theories. Full stop, not wasting any more time on him he has nothing to offer.

Tally done- voting for Joe Biden. A smart, empathetic, rational leader who will work for us all.

Thank you! I feel validated when reading your commentary. DJT is a criminal. Joe Biden is as you said “a normal president”, but actually an incredibly productive one. I hope he wins then retires 1-2 years in, so Ms Harris can take the reins. The MAGAts are scared absolutely shitless about Ms Harris… or any female as President. I like Joe but I’m gonna love me some Momala Kamala! ☺️

But the questions you ask, have nothing to do with my posts.

Well, the first one might. But really all that “Just what are you actually saying?“ shows is that you failed to understand my very simple and straightforward comment.

If you couldn’t understand what I wrote, despite it being just a few short declarative sentences, then really any questions you have after that are kind of pointless, don’t you agree?

And even if they weren’t, why should I make the effort to answer any questions you have when your immediate follow-up to them is childish, unoriginal insults. you make it pretty clear you’re not interested in getting answers to your questions.

Is that what you see is a mature reason response? Was it really worth even the minimal time you to type it?

Expand full comment

If something I say is contradicted by something that may be true, then I do reconsider my opinion to see if maybe I had something wrong, or new evidence means I need to change my view

But for that to happen, you have to say something that’s true or, at least, potentially so.

And so far all you’ve done is post vague non sequiturs. What in my comments you’re actually responded to is, at best, far from clear.

I can't get over how lazy "journalists" in the major media markets have gotten. Unbelievable how little interest any of them have in doing research, honestly looking at politics and politicians and what they DO, not just what they say.

I rarely engage in the "in my day" bullshit that so many old folks do, but this particular one is actually true. Watergate could have been covered up rather easily without the courage of a few intrepid investigative reporters and the papers they worked for. Corporate ownership and unscrupulous management has ended that.

Many horrible things (the continuation of the Vietnam War, the Iran hostage crisis are just two) have been "caught and killed" over the decades. It's the only reason that Republikkkans have a reputation for respect for law and order.

This pattern of tiresome whingeing about the incumbent Democratic president not being or doing enough or being "just as bad" has been a thing since as far back as I can remember. My memory is not amazeballs, but I remember things like: what Reagan did to the country; what Bush I did to the country; what Bush II did to the country; what Trump did to the country. But I feel like some people have already memoryholed even the Trump "presidency."

I mean at this point I hardly expect the corporate press to do anything else but ride that fence as hard as they freaking can, but a hair of bravery would be so welcome.

Journalism 101 for the MSM today:

—everyone wants SCOTUS accountability

—everyone wants Trump spending every minute of every day in court or jail for the remainder of the year

—everyone is tired of yellow journalism and Russian puppets in the MSM, act like you have a brain, and use it to ask meaningful questions and maybe not take the easy road of using terms like “hush money” because it’s easier to say to the uneducated masses filling the maga cult, it’s a falsification of business records.

—everyone wants an answer on why Fanni Willis had to recuse her lead prosecutor, yet Clarence Thomas is not being held to the same standard when Ginni is involved in the criminal activities of the crime family! (We the people want answers for the Trump appointed judges and their violations of the law and why are there no removals/prosecutions?!)

—why are child rapists in Congress (Matt gaetz)

Dear MSM….wtf are you doing?! The foreign press is giving better news than the American rags, but this is an Apartheid Republic (look at women’s rights/lgbtq rights etc/lack thereof, Jim Crow etc.) When will journalists start taking their job seriously? I’m tired of watching insufferable assholes be coddled and tossed whiffle ball questions at this point, due to the comedic gentle nature.

Ignorant fool calling the rest of us ignorant fools. 🙄 I blocked him yesterday. Sanctimonious prick. And privileged? Spain and Chile? Is he going to live there or just “travel”? Does he speak Spanish? Will he apply for residency (very expensive in Europe) or simply be undocumented (as are many “expats”, although many countries, Mexico, for example, have computerized their immigration policies and one cannot simply remain in country by doing “border runs” anymore). I grew up overseas, including Chile and Spain.
