He should be able to afford it, thanks to the Biden bump.
New record Dow, because Trump is leaving office and better public health and economic leadership is settling in.

Is it impossible for you, to not bring everything back to Trump?
Trump is obnoxious, so it's OK to say the GOP must die?
Paul, Biden told a room full of blacks, that Republicans "want to put y'all back in chains".
How much worse does it get, than that? Has Trump said many things that are more hateful, more divisive, more demonstrably false, than that? Telling blacks that Republicans see them as subhuman, that' snot as bad as anything that Trump has ever said?
But it's OK when Democrats do it. Because shut up!
ANY criticism of any liberal, anywhere, you reflexively respond with "but Trump". Like a Pavlovian dog.

The Stable Genius has the former Republican Party following him straight to Jonestown.
Most Trumplicans would tell you the following statements are true.
The traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it.
A time will come when patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands.
Strong leaders sometimes have to bend the rules in order to get things done.
It is hard to trust the results of elections when so many people will vote for anyone who offers a handout.

Its a lot more telling that when even you know I've got you, you can't admit I have a point, so you dismiss it.
I can go all day with Biden, he's been the democrats pit bull in the legislature for 4 decades Paul (he single handedly ended the tradition of opposition party approving SCOTUS nomination with Bork, tried to portray Thomas as untrustworthy around women (that's not playing to a racist stereotype!), . But that ""chains" comment, in my opinion, is the worst thing he ever said. By far.
I asked you what Trump has said that was worse, and you came up with squat. But you couldn't admit that truth. One might say that's also telling.

They love to blame Trump for dividing the country, but never take a long look in the mirror at themselves.

Thanks, you'd never have to buy a drink if I was in the room.
They can never, ever be responsible for any of the division. Only republicans have flaws.
I challenge anyone to find anything Trump has ever said, that's more divisive in a large-scale sense, as Biden saying that Republicans want to put blacks in chains. Trump can be disgustingly obnoxious, and often divisive. but I don't know that you can be much more divisive, that what Biden said.
But Biden gets an absolute free pass. Zero criticism. Zilch.
Have a rich and safe holiday TDF!!

The remark was a response to the Romney campaign saying they were going to "unshackle" Wall Street and this was the context of his remarks.
Also, Biden has said similar things before ..."“The last time we liberated the economy under their proposals, the last eight years put the middle class in chains. My lord, how many times we have to go back to that horror movie?”
So this is the worst thing Biden has said and it's really just a silly slip. Joe says silly things sometimes Jim.

"The remark was a response to the Romney campaign saying they were going to "unshackle" Wall Street and this was the context of his remarks."
First, if I articulate what Trumps obnoxious comments "are in response to", that makes his statements OK? Or does only Biden get that courtesy?
Second, if you look at the deregulation done by Trump, did that cause large-scale damage to blacks? Because WDMSO just said recently that trumps rising tide lifted all boats, including blacks. Blacks have never, ever been better off in America than they were right before covid hit. So it would seem that Biden's remarks, in addition to being divisive, were also proven to be stupidly wrong by empirical results.
"it's really just a silly slip."
We're all shocked you give him a pass.

Is there ANYBODY who disagrees with you, who doesn't suffer from character flaws? I'm angry, TDF is petty...
Is it remotely possible to have a decent, principled disagreement with liberalism? Or does it necessarily mean one has serious flaws?
More and more and more, the liberals here respond to statements about policies or actual events, with insults. Because you're realizing, it's all you have. When you can't make us wrong, you can call us jerks.

Most will repeat the phrase the tree of liberty at times needs watering with the blood of tyrants and Patriots. You fall in go guess which category? You support the party who wants to change the constitution and our Republic. sounds like tyranny to me. Your TDS along with others now want to discredit Trump of his accomplishment, well that is an improvement admitting he has accomplishments.

Trump called in from the White House to an informal meeting of Pennsylvania lawmakers, repeating baseless claims about the election being "rigged."
"This election has to be turned around," Trump said, though the election results have already been certified in a number of key states, including Pennsylvania, and the formal transition process to the incoming Biden
Is this acceptable in your version of America. A sitting POTUS trying to change an election

It's going to be a very hard thing to concede because we know there was massive fraud," he said, an allegation he has stood by without offering proof.
All this from a sitting US President in the White House a true un American un Democratic scammer move so he can tell his base what they want to hear, with his hand out fleecing them of their money to pay off his debt .

no proof.
there are vote checkers, whatever they’re called, in PA who say that the republican moderators weren’t allowed in, but the democrats were.
can’t we just look into that, to see if there’s any validity to it? have you concluded they’re lying? if so, how do you know?
i’ll concede i have absolutely no idea if they’re telling the truth. but i’m curious how you seem to know they’re lying.
i know you want them to be
lying. that alone, is t enough to say they are.
it’ll all be over in two
weeks, max.

Third Circuit court of appeals rejects appeal of Trump campaign lawsuit in Pennsylvania.
The judge who wrote the Third Circuit’s opinion is a Trump appointee.
The campaign’s appeal was rejected unanimously (3-0) by three GOP-appointed judges.
“Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election ‘unfair’ does not make it so.
Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.”
You would think his lawyer(s) would know that.
