The passage of Biden’s infrastructure bill was delayed, but not stopped.
Who delayed it is immaterial to anyone with a ounce of sense.
Who stopped your hero’s infrastructure agenda?
It wasn’t the “Squad”, so who was it?

if the identity of those who blocked it is “immaterial”, why are you so determined to avoid answering the question?
it obviously matters a great deal
to you, therefore it’s not immaterial.
for the tenth time, trump
blew it on infastructure. that’s all on him. he had two years to pass it and chose not to.
i can admit his flaws. you can’t admit why that bill stalled in the house. what does that say about us?

You really think the senile old guy is running the country ?
The guy is lucky to get through the day without #^&#^&#^&#^&ting his pants !
Can’t get out 2 coherent sentences in a row without making a fool of himself.
He’s just the guy they chose to be Obama’s mouthpiece. To read the words from the teleprompter they write for him.
The guy wasn’t even the front runner for the primaries till they made all of the others step aside.
As for the infrastructure plan. The only thing it’s going to fix if filling their bank accounts and keeping them in power.

Georgia’s unemployment is the lowest in the history of the state. ever. GA was one of the first, maybe the first, states to open up during the pandemic.
i thought the republican governor was crazy at the time to open up. looks like he was right and i was wrong. show me any democrats who would say he made the right call.

i think it’s interesting that in both the presidential election and in both GA senate races, the gop was looking good until the nation was asleep, and then poof.
She's like Trump, a sore loser who can't admit she lost fair and square, and someone capable of telling dangerous, obvious lies.

67% of the covid deaths in the past 5 months came from the 20 lowest vaxxed states & FL & TX
South African scientists report that the areas with the greatest % of unvaccinated & the most prior Deltq infection are getting hit hardest.
We have an area like that. It’s called Florida. It’s the South. It’s many red states around the country.
The strategy— most closely associated with Scott Atlas, formerly of the Trump White House—called “natural herd immunity” is prevailing wisdom in areas that voted for Donald Trump or who listen to some of their political leaders.
That strategy was already costly on its face. 65% of Republican adults are vaccinated compared to 90% of Democrats.
And new data shows that has led to a 50% higher death rate in Republican states.
Getting infected and letting COVID run wild isn’t particularly smart for other reasons. I mean other than just that it kills people.
The more spread, the more chances for a virus to mutate. The more mutations, the more chance of a variant of concern.
This strategy of playing with fire by not getting vaccinated & then getting COVID has kept case counts & deaths high.
But now it turns out that the 10s of millions of people who thought they had immunity aren’t immune, many who didn’t really want COVID. That’s bad news.

what did i say that’s not true?
you’re a rabid, rabid partisan. i’ll listen to the GA secretary of state who says both she and trump are lying when they say there was anything wrong with the elections. that’s a guy who can tell the truth regardless of party. you cannot.
that’s a guy with a demonstrated ability to criticize either side. you are completely unable to do that. so he has way more credibility.

you picked a 5 month window when people inthe north are outside, and people in Florida are staying inside. gee i wonder why you picked that particular window? Florida’s case counts are way, way down now that people are outside. let’s ignore that.
“if you look at florida’s worst single day, and compare it to Mew York’s best single day, Florida is way worse!”
keep cherry picking, Pete.

National unemployment is 4.2 percent GA is 3.2. ATLANTA The unemployment rate can be at a record low even though the aggregate number of workers is not at a record high because the overall labor force has shrunk during the pandemic. The DoL said the total labor force remains down by 37,000 since the start of the pandemic.
In September, Georgia said more than 7,700 workers found jobs while 6,000 dropped out of the labor force, resulting in a nearly 14,000 decrease in the number of residents officially considered unemployed.
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is slamming President Joe Biden over the latest jobs report.
In a Friday tweet, McDaniel wrote: "350,000 FEWER jobs were created last month than expected. Biden’s big government socialism doesn’t work!" Yet ignore the National 4.2 rate. Oh I forgot that’s Republican Governors doing. LOL. Republicans expecting a bill recently signed hasn’t worked LOL
Don’t believe those phony numbers,” Trump declared during his victory speech after the New Hampshire primary, in February. “When you hear 4.9 and five-per-cent unemployment, the number’s probably twenty-eight, twenty-nine, as high as thirty-five—in fact, I even heard recently forty-two per cent.” By June, when he did an interview on Fox News’s “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” he’d received new data. “The number five per cent is a phony number—it’s really twenty per cent, close to twenty-per-cent unemployment. That’s just a phony number to make the politicians look good.” In an August speech on the economy, he said, in reference to the official government unemployment rate, “The five-per-cent figure is one of the biggest hoaxes in American modern politics.”
What’s Funny GA uses the same method the US government uses to calculate the un employment Rate
Yet now Republicans believe the numbers in GA not the US Governments numbers classic bait and switch to the uninformed voter
I am sure the families of the 30k who have died in GA are so happy they opened early so their unemployment could be 3.2 % …

you’re dismissing GAs low unemployment. do you feel
the same way about federal unemployment?
i said here that i’m glad federal unemployment is as low as it is. and biden deserves some credit for that. But the jobs number was lousy, and biden deserves some blame for that
^ that there is what honesty looks like. credit where it’s due, criticism where it’s due.

One has to realize that Georgians might not be very bright.
Here’s a statement from the head of Gang Greene
“Every single year more than 600,000 people in the US die from cancer.
The country has never once shut down.
Not a single school has closed.
And every year, over 600,000 people, of all ages and all races will continue to die from cancer.”

their unemployment is meaningfully lower than the national
average.
GA has very low taxes, and yet they’ve created a quality of life good enough to make tons of people want to move there.
CT has insanely high taxes, and they’ve created a failing, dying sh*thole that people are fleeing.
you’d say CT is smarter. because you are blind.

jim I posted who dismisses unemployment numbers as a matter of convenience that’s all
And 3% is very good for People in GA
Republicans have a habit of suggesting all good numbers are fake unless their in office. Then they are spot on.. because they are intellectually dishonest most of the time
Just like how Republicans Gaslight The American People on Infrastructure Deal or how Republicans who voted for Biden's infrastructure bill come under fire from Trump And death threats
America 1st is just a slogan

low unemployment is always dismissed by the opposition party. it’s sleazy and dishonest, like being concerned about debt only when you’re not in power
both sides do it.

Windham, Tolland and Middlesex counties are all solidly Republican and those Counties have all shrunk. I think the county that is shown population growth is Fairfield County . They also lag in income and there is a transfer of money from the Richer democratic counties to the poor Republican ones. Sound familiar as it's similar to what happens in the country as a whole.
