The Biden - Harris Era.

He might me worse than Trump by handpicking stats to inflate his ego: https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/sta ... mLcOjDT6iA

Facepalm

Another face palm moment, In case you missed this one:

Whoa. You got me. Definitely going to vote for GOP candidates now.

This is what passes for “discussion” among Conservatives. All the while, a feckless GOP doesn’t even pretend to governance or policy.

You're right. The GOP isn't trying to do anything. And the Dems pretend.

Feel free to get back to such exciting in-depth liberal virtue signals...I mean, "discussions" that center around:

-the best facemasks to wear alone in your car,
-the illness that your son has "but we know it's not COVID because we tested him twice, I swear."
-the new gender identity of the 3-year old down the street,
-where to place your "love is love" bumper sticker on the new Subaru Outback,
-and the plight and strife of the noble, undocumented young man who weeds your duplex in the gated community...for such a reasonable rate- "I can see if he can do some work for you too!"

All stolen from actual conversations my in-laws have had around my dinner table...

Wow. Gotta admit, Cosmo, these made me cringe. The Subaru bumper sticker slayed me. Tough meal.

My wife and my in-laws are great, very kind, welcoming people. We get along great but just don't agree 100% on some things. But the big topics, family, how to raise our kids, etc, we are simpatico.

Just like I put up with it, I'm sure my family's conversations about: The hillarious bit on The Five, the genius of Peter Doocey, finding land to hunt/shoot on, and the wussy new electric Ford F150 Ford irritate my wife to no end too.



I gotta say, we both really love it when there is a mixed crowd- everyone tends to avoid poilitics, behave themselves, and talk about normal things.

But when just one side get together and talk freely, it's a show...

My experience as well. it's easy to do.

But man, you're right about getting "one side" in a room together. And both sides do it. Just cringeworthy stuff is said that makes me get up from the conversation.

Cringy indeed.

My wife always laughs because whenever it starts, on either side, I usually take out the trash, go check on the dogs, head up to the gas station for more ice...

We're cut from the same cloth. I feign "phone calls from the distillery", and go sit in the car.

If I know the people somewhat well, I loudly blurt out "how about them Denver Broncos?"....and they get the message, and steer clear of politics. Best part is....I know NOTHING about the Denver Broncos.

I tried political talk now and again....Trump really ruined it, both on the left and right. You can't discuss ideas/issues like you can here.

+1 Kram and afan.

But I am considering a new Outback...but don't label me, please.

They’re (Republicans) almost a lock to win the House in 2022, but they’re not sure why they want it,


I keep asking this: what's their F'ing plan? How the F do Republicans help their base?

They don't have a plan, and haven't for a long time.

And I've told you all why: the ONLY way to help these FlyoverVoters who are, by and large, lack the skills needed for a great job in 2022....is more Government.

THAT is why both Republican leaders and voters are paralyzed. They can't admit that trickle down didn't work. That playing cop to the world meant things like health care for all and unions for all our NATO allies....and "good F'ing luck" as a substitute for a Health Care plan for their American counterparts". That Trickle down economic policies made the average Americans' ability to move up in the world a running joke.

So what's the plan? Outside of "stick it to the libs" on twitter and pointless, nonsensical laws like Florida's "you can't talk about family in schools" law.

good article

Imagine writing an article, imagine liking an article, whose first sentence is: “Biden’s been a good president”.

Jeebus. The lengths some folks go to excuse what is beyond argument one of the three worst presidencies to ever occur is simply hilarious. And it’s not simply good enough for these folks to say ‘okay, he hasn’t been great’….nope, in order to delude both themselves as well as the echo chamber of dunces, they actually wrote ‘he’s been good’.

God. The self pantomime is just comical.

I think the fair question should be, precisely what has Joe been good at? We all know the multitude of failures. Please point to any win. I’ll take the smallest win. Whatever you got. Maybe even point out something he hasn’t wrecked (yet), not really a win per se, just not a loss.

As for a fan, I’ll keep reposting Rick Scott’s plan which he says doesn’t exist.

https://rescueamerica.com/12-point-plan/

The vast majority of this plan is what we will seek to implement starting January 2023.

you obviously didn't actually read the article, Petey.

Infrastructure bill.
Avoiding WWIII so far with Putin.
Got us out of our pointless and expensive presence in Afghanistan....America First, remember?
And soon...bipartisan bill with some good, but not great, help on mass shootings.

Three huge wins, with one in the box. As for the rest? Yup, he's done nothing. But neither has your team.

https://rescueamerica.com/12-point-plan/

FORCING our kids to pledge allegiance is gonna fix inflation, is it?

2. Color blind on any Federal government form? Great. Don't care. No effect on flyover Americans.

3. Safety and Crime.....in other words, more borrowing and more spending for police. Big Government.

4. Immigration......sealing our border doesn't work. But let's say it does.....this will make our labor shortage worse, and inflation worse.Notice that they "forgot" to say that they'll hold big business accountable, and "forgot" to tell us they'd turn EVerify on. This is just thinly veiled racism that doesn't really address our broken immigration system.

5. We will shrink the federal government, reduce the government workforce by 25% in 5 years, sell government buildings and assets, and get rid of the old, slow, closed, top-down, government-run-everything system we have today. Pete didn't notice that they made no mention of cutting Federal spending by 25%. This is an old Republican game-----cut Federal workers, and instead, hire far more expensive workers from places like Blackwater so that they can claim there are fewer Federal employees, all while giving their buddies fat government contracts. And Government gest bigger than ever. Hard pass, Pete. Are you really so stupid that you'd fall for this trick?

6. Eliminate programs that can be done locally. That's EVERYTHING, outside of our Military. How much do you want to wager that Federal Spending will go up in 2024, the minute a R POTUS takes office, Pete? Or are you so stupid that you think Kentucky, MS, AR, ND, SD, etc. can make it in the free market without massive help from the Federal Government, and/or protectionist trade policies?

7-10 is just stupid blather. No point in even addressing that.

11. America first. America will be dependent on NO other country. We will conduct no trade that takes away jobs or displaces American workers. Countries who oppose us at the UN will get zero financial help from us. We will be energy-independent and build supply chains that never rely on our adversaries. We will only help countries that are willing to defend themselves, like Israel. What a load of crap. Do you think we're gonna shut down firms that outsource? How? This means we have to renege on NAFTA, which is fine by me. I'd wager any amount you'd like that none of this will happen under Republican trickle down watch.

12. Cutting taxes. So after all this record spending on Republican's watch, and all the tax cuts Trump handed out to Corporations, these idiots think that they're gonna increase spending on police....using...what? More borrowing. Same old, same old, Pete. Do Republicans not know how interest works?

So looking at all this....still nothing for TrumpNation. No retraining. No teaching FlyOverAmerica how to code or weld or build homes. No help with education. Nothing on health care. Nothing on rising housing costs. Basically, even if they somehow execute this entire plan (yeah, right), there's STILL nothing concrete in here that helps TrumpNation. It's just sad. Meet the new boss...same as the old boss

Your Biden wins seem like one of the bigger stretches I’ve ever read. ‘He hadn’t gone to war with Russia yet’

This guy is almost comically inept. He’s unsuited for the role. His VP is even worse. His cabinet is full of bureaucratic clowns.

Gasoline pricing is on him. Did you catch the recent news?

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/12/clim ... sales.html

He’s canceling leases for pipelines and drilling, but you’re out here rah-rahing the guy like he’s John D Rockefeller of standard oil.

His only possible win I see is he inherited Jay Powell at the Fed, though Biden has attempted to stock the board with literal socialists. Powell must feel like he’s on an island surrounded by leeches and snakes.

You guys are something else. Biden will drive your economy into the ditch while controlling every aspect of the federal government (though not for much longer, thank god), and you’ll still be out here saying he’s getting a raw deal because of Republicans. This jabroni is worse than Carter and his party is fiddling around with gender and racial nonsense while the house burns down. And those Democratic politicians know they’ve got the undying loyalty and ignorance of their voters. Gas gonna be $7/gallon shortly. But you’re okay with it.

The only thing I got to say is you deserve the absolute historical beatdown you’re about to get November 8.

[a fan]

Gasoline pricing is on him.

I'm fine with gas prices. You want the government to intervene. You'd last ten seconds in the free market if Uncle Sam wasn't around to rub your tummy and make it better.

Here's an easy solution, Pete: drill for oil on private land. Don't need Biden for that.

You guys are something else. Biden will drive your economy into the ditch while controlling every aspect of the federal government

Sez the guy who wants the Federal government to step in and pay for your gasoline.

Gas gonna be $7/gallon shortly. But you’re okay with it.

Without hesitation.

Breweries used to use 30-40 gallons of water for every bottle of beer produced...before the energy "crisis" of the 1970's made brewer pay the F attention to what a sh*tshow their production methods were.

Invest in rail. Invest in nuclear power. The free market, Pete. You're such a freaking hippy liberal, it's just sad. You're so used to the government paying for the free stuff you get, that you don't know how to function without their free help anymore.

The only thing I got to say is you deserve the absolute historical beatdown you’re about to get November 8.

Oh, I'll be voting Republican in the fall. I can't wait to see how it is you think forcing kids to sing a fascist pro-government song is going to help the average TrumpVoter get a job. It's gonna be great!

They have NO plan. They never have and never will. IMO the DemocRATS are sitting in the catbirds seat watching the RepubliCONs thrown into a leadership position. Those FRC folks don't have a great track record when it comes to getting any legislation passed.

"Mitch McConnell and Senate Republican leaders are warning Rick Scott that his agenda for the GOP could expose the party to unnecessary attacks this fall, a significant intraparty rebuke of the Floridian.

The Senate minority leader, who has declined thus far to release a party agenda, advised Scott at a GOP leadership meeting on Monday afternoon that his 11-point proposal gave Democrats ammunition for millions of dollars of ads in the midterms, according to multiple people briefed on the exchange.

Though he chairs Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, Scott defended himself by saying he released the agenda in his role as a rank-and-file senator, not as a statement of party plans. The meeting lasted nearly an hour, and Scott’s recess-week agenda introduction dominated the discussion.

The exchange between McConnell and his top campaign hand highlights a growing divide in the party as the GOP fights to take the House and Senate, despite their bright electoral prospects. While McConnell prefers to keep the heat on Democrats and make the election a referendum on President Joe Biden, some in the party — not just Scott — believe Republicans need a more affirmative agenda.

The schism played out on into Tuesday at a leadership press conference. Scott exited the event abruptly just before McConnell castigated two of his proposals.

“Let me tell you what will not be a part of our agenda: We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare after five years. That will not be part of the Republican Senate majority agenda,” McConnell said."

Has anything changed? Are GOP incumbents and pretenders running on the Scott Plan?

[MDlaxfan76]
