Since none of you guys have mentioned even one single thing that the GND and/or Biden's plan would or would not do.

Since the discussion is completely content free, you might as well just elevate to a poop throwing contest.

FYI, fact check below. As if anyone cares beyond throwing poop.

PS: But if your strategy is to prove that Biden is a demented lib-turd, wouldn't you want to let him talk even just a little bit?
Its more of the ch*t you libs do with language.

We don't say what we say—

Even though we say DEFUND THE POLICE we don't mean DEFUND THE POLICE.

Even though we refer to the GREEN NEW DEAL we don't mean THE Green New Deal.

Even though we say BLACK LIVES MATTER we really mean All Lives Matter sorta.


I will say I do believe AOC when she says

“And so I do think that right now we have this no-holds-barred, Wild West hyper-capitalism. What that means is profit at any cost. Capitalism has not always existed in the world, and it will not always exist in the world. When this country started, we were not a capitalist [nation], we did not operate on a capitalist economy. “

Yeah, tell that to all of the House Republicans (198 to be exact) who voted for the same resolution. :oops:

Came across this interesting fact which I had forgotten. Initially, Florida officials rejected 2411 overseas (mainly military) ballots that had been received after the polls closed. When those ballots were rejected, Al Gore had a 202 vote lead. Bush went to court and a federal judge ruled that the overseas ballots should be counted, notwithstanding the fact that they were received after the deadline. When they were counted, Bush took the lead by over 500 votes.

I vaguely recall that Gore did not appeal this trial court ruling because he didn’t want to be perceived as trying to prevent military ballots from being counted.

Interesting little precedent that might be relevant in the coming weeks.
There’s a huge difference between honorable overseas military voting with postmarked envelopes versus Democratic concave-chest pimply Antifa activists stuffing phony ballots days after November 3 with no postmark because USPS union boys turn off the date machines from 11-4 to 11-7 while Democratic election officials turn a blind eye to the fraud so Biden can erase a 2% deficit in Pennsylvania.
The Supremes have the case now. We'll see what they say.
after your post last night, i was intrigued, read into it. the new york times did an extensive investigative report in 2001. the level of research, time and interviews that went into it must have been enormous. maybe we all remember those days.

anyway, it was an interesting read on all the machinations.
https://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/15/us/e ... -vote.html
the summary is near the top of the article. when they interviewed a harvard voting pattern expert, the 537 vote ultimate difference was best guess a 245 vote difference had the 680 votes in question not been allowed (a break of 486-194 by estimate). concedes there is no way to know with mathematical certainty, but gave it just a slight chance of turning the tables entirely. (609-71). i doubt florida officials would've officially rejected those entire 2400+ votes at any point, as their rules allowed for postmarked overseas voting if arrival by nov 17 (which republicans expedited and attempted all manner of other avenues).

at the same time, the times did a short story on the public relations end:
https://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/15/us/e ... -vote.html

cnn 15 years later did an enlightening piece on the memo and how lieberman's role on a morning talk show played into that:

I’d love to know where I ever said that. Let us know!

I generally don’t have an opinion on the tax code or who pays what. It doesn’t bother me in the least if you pay nothing or a lot. Change the laws if you don’t like the code. I’d prefer a VAT or sales tax to replace everything.

President Donald Trump sharply condemned racist, white supremacist, and neo-Nazi sympathizers on Monday afternoon, after nearly 48 hours of bipartisan criticism over his response to the weekend’s violent clashes in Charlottesville, Va.

“Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups,” Trump said.

In an unsigned statement Sunday morning, a White House official clarified Trump’s initial remarks. “The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry, and hatred,” the statement said. “Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together.”

Trump’s comments Monday afternoon followed a meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Chris Wray, which was added to his schedule Monday morning. The Department of Justice launched a civil rights investigation into Saturday’s violence.
Sorry Skipper McRightwing. I am just reporting the fact -- and it's a fact -- that a former head of the RNC thinks that the President is a sufficient threat to "the existence of the Republic" that he is going to vote for Joe. Jennifer Horn, former head of the GOP in New Hampshire, voting for Biden. Chuck Douglas, former Congressman from New Hampshire, State Supreme Court Justice and delegate to three RNCs, will vote for the Democratic nominee for the first time in his life. Michael Steele, for RNC head, voting for Biden. These turncoats (to the devoted Cult) and patriots (to the people who actually love this country) are newsworthy.

The SS Trump is on a three hour tour, and the Skipper and Gilligan are sinking. There is nothing reprehensible about reporting this out to the world.
Are those the white supremacists led by an afrocuban
Skipper, I missed General Stanley McCrystal, who endorsed Biden this morning. Hard to keep up!!!

How many times do I have to explain this to you?

Are you going to apply this "net calculator" to all business in New York State, or just Amazon? Because you understand that if you do? Small, local business where the bulk of their economic activity------buying supplies, materials, services, staffing-----all stay within the State...heck, within a few miles.....should get massive tax breaks.

While Amazon, who send their profits back to HQ, and then off to shareholders around the world.....should pay MORE taxes.

But that's not what your advocating. You're telling us that Amazon should pay less, and small local businesses should pay MORE in taxes. This is the OPPOSITE of the "net calculator" tells you to do, Pete.

I'm struggling to understand how it is that you don't get this. There are only so many different ways I can explain things....

You need to understand I'm not a NY'er; I don't care what states do with their respective 'deals'. Why do you? My hunch is this deal is not the giveaway you want it to be.

I do care about federal tax policy, and so far as I am aware, Amazon was not offered federal tax money to locate 25,000 employees in NYC.
