the subject of the thread, morphed into the inability of you lefties to ever say anything critical if biden.
“you don’t know if questions were asked.
i do know, that Psaki isn’t saying he took off his mask to answer questions. i also know that he can answer questions with his mask on.
Anything to avoid criticizing him. What in gods name is in that Kool Aid.
since you’re making up excuses for him, why not do better, and say he removed his mask to perform CPR on someone?

Some superfluous fringe congressmen are bickering. There’s no bickering or in-fighting on the left? Manchin and Sinema aren’t being attacked by any democrats?

Come on, you now have your own "Squad of MENSA candidates"
And the leader of your party, a Stable Genius, knowingly went to his first debate infected with COVID. He was a danger to everyone he came in contact with, including debate staff, the Secret Service and the next President of the United States.

your problem, is that not everyone in the country assumes the republicans are only to be judged on their flaws.
if more people thought like you ( just had a chill up my spine), how do you explain what happened in VA and NJ last month? how do you explain the polling which looks so amazingly favorable for the gop as of right now?
you can’t respond to that with “orange man bad.”
that’s not what the country is thinking. that may well change, but as of now, poling clearly favors the gop. i’ve asked you to explain that 4 or 5 times now, you keep dodging.
so completely agree there are a handful of republican congressmen who are deranged radicals who is live to see go.
you’re tying to paint the entire gop with that brush. (1) yiu don’t do that with democrats, you don’t equate the whole party with Ihan Omar. and (2) clearly the country isn’t sharing your view that a small number of kooks represent the whole party.
there’s more to the democratic party than eric swallwell and ihan omar. similarly, there’s more to the gop than marjorie taylor greene.

pete, yiu judge democrats by focusing on the good and ignoring the bad.
yiu judge republicans by ignoring the good and focusing on the bad.
obviously when you compare the parties that way, the democrats will look better. but it’s not an accurate ( or even rational) way to compare things, and very few people buy into it.

“the squad” has a lot of influence within the democrat party. they’re the only reason why the infastructure bill wasn’t passed months ago. it passed the senate, the moderates in the house wanted it, the squad managed to hijack it and connect it to the 3.5 trillion social spending bill.
what has marjorie taylor greene done to alter the conservative agenda?
she’s a nook and a jerk.

The squad or Manchin and Sinema stopped it?
The Gang Greene drives the agenda in the house and McCarthy is to much of a wimp to do anything because the Stable Genius praises them.
Now explain Gohmert, Gaetz, Gosar, Boebert, Jordan etc and how McCarthy has promised to reinstate anyone tossed from committees IF they win back the house.
Just who’s running the freak show for the Republicans, leadership or the wackos
So far the Trumplicans have voted against lower insulin prices, pandemic relief, infrastructure, capitol police, violence against women and the stacked Supreme Court will likely negate Rowe vs Wade.
You claim the Trumplicans have a record to run on….
So explain this logic-
How you square demanding freedom of choice when it comes to vaccines BUT NOT freedom of choice when it comes to reproductive rights?
Only the unborn count?

if you’re talking about the infastructure bill, the squad stopped it. it passed the senate, which is where manchin and sinema are. The squad denied Pelosi the votes for it to pass the house, so it stalled in the house until
the democrats panicked at what happened in VA and NJ.
manchin and sinema stalled the 3.5T social spending bill. not the infastructure bill.

But some how you implied the Squad has power
But insist your crazy’s are just Crazy
Jim look at their fund raising it’s off the charts hate and fear equals campaign donations
Everything I heard of Q, I hope that this is real, because it only means America is getting stronger and better," she said, adding that QAnon followers were "only motivating, and encouraging and bringing people together stronger. And, if this is real, then it could be really great for our country."
Lauren Boebert
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I ONLY BELIEVE SOME OF WHAT QANON SAYS ABOUT DEMS BEING SATANIC PEDOPHILE CANNIBALS,
Cawthorn was nominated to the U.S. Naval Academy by Rep. Mark Meadows and that his “plans were derailed” by the 2014 auto accident. However, Cawthorn testified in a 2017 deposition that he had already been rejected by the Naval Academy before his accident.
He also claimed his friend left him to die after the accident
He was my brother, my best friend. And he leaves me in a car to die in a fiery tomb," Cawthorn said of the accident. "He runs to safety deep in the woods and just leaves me in a burning car as the flames start to lick my legs and curl up and burn my left side." Cawthorn also claimed he was pronounced dead at the scene, but thanks to "adrenaline or divine intervention, I definitely believe it's the latter, I had a deep inhale of breath."
The problem, of course, is that none of it was true. According to Ledford, he saved Cawthorn's life. "That statement he made was false," Ledford told The Washington Post. "It hurt very badly that he would say something as false as that. That is not at all what happened. I pulled him out of the car the second that I was able to get out of the car." And, according to a court deposition, Cawthorn claims he has no memory from the accident. And per a police accident report and Florida Highway Patrol records, Cawthorn was "incapacitated and in critical condition" but was not declared dead.

“the gop has an integrity problem.”
and there are no liars or scumbags on your side. none.
biden just said again this week, that he used to be a truck driver. we know it’s a lie, but he’s too senile to stop telling it. he drove a school bus. not an 18 wheeler. then there’s his take of taking on a drug kingpin named corn pop. biden tells blacks that republicans want to put them back in chains. such integrity.
kamala harris sucked her way to the top, had a public affair with a married man, put god knows how many people in prison for pot while she jokes about her own drug use. such fine integrity.
chuck schumer explicitly threatened the supreme court for making decisions he didn’t like. such integrity!
maxine waters tells america to hound and harass everyone in trump’s cabinet to make
them know “they aren’t welcome anywhere, anytime.”
eric swalwell sleeps with chinese spies. a model of integrity.
Ihan Omar is a rabid jew hater, who hates everything about the country that saved her from a Somali refugee camp. gives millions of campaign dollars to her husband.
how many examples do you want? there are scumbags and good people on both sides. you just say “republicans are bad”, then stick your fingers deep
in your ears and go “la la la la!!!”. so you can’t hear anything else, because you can’t process anything else.
Trump has a serious integrity problem. now that he’s gone ( for now at least), people
are t focused on him, and are actually comparing the two parties. and every single
poll suggests it’s going horribly for the democrats.
why are the democrats poling so horribly? they control everything in DC right now, they have every tab station except one, and academia in their pockets. what happened in VA and NJ? those aren’t red states. what happened there?
i’m not sure the party that worships the kennedy’s and the clintons, the party responsible for the Kavanaugh Witch Trials, is in much of a position to lecture anybody about integrity. so let’s talk about policies and results. democrats tend to do anything to avoid having that conversation.

So when the infastructure bill passed the senate months ago, and stalled in the house...why did it stall in the house, exactly?
democrat=good, always with zero exceptions...
Here, Politico says it was the squad that delayed the vote on the infastructure bill.
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/1...n-chaos-517711
Please Wayne, tell us why that bill passed the senate and stalled in the house.

The bill passed in the house, did you miss that?
Meanwhile, Americans overwhelmingly approve of a bill that reduces the cost of insulin to $35/month, the GOP voted AGAINST it.

"The bill passed in the house, did you miss that? "
Here's what I posted. You either missed that, or as usual, you cannot process anything which doesn't flatter the left.

The infastructure bill passed the senate months ago, then it stalled in the house (despite Pelosi and Biden wanting it passed), because the squad and the progressives wanted it connected to the $3.5T spending bill. Are you saying that's not true?

Apparently it didn’t pass fast enough for you, the Dems passed the most extensive infrastructure bill since Eisenhower and you wanted it to not be considered by our representatives.
But it actually passed unlike the former guy’s oft recurring infrastructure week, which you ignore because you can’t process anything which doesn’t flatter Trump.

pete, you’re dodging my question, and we all know why.
i have said that if the bill works efficiently, the democrats deserve the credit.
but the fact is, that bill passed the senate months ago, pelosi and biden wanted it passed in the house, but the squad and the progressives blocked it.
is that true, or is it false?
just answer one direct question for once.

But you consistently come to his defense, like Rand Paul who once said:
“Donald Trump is a delusional narcissist and an orange-faced windbag.
A speck of dirt is way more qualified to be president."
-Senator Rand Paul, January 2016.
You’re projecting again, every time I point it out you start with personal accusations, claiming to be a real man and swinging your purse.
