Donald Trump increased the federal debt by $8 trillion but his supporters are calling President Biden's recovery plan "Build Back Broke." If Trump's political supporters were any worse at math they'd be shareholders in Trump Steaks.

Are you hoping for a recession?

Meanwhile the leader of today's "American" "conservativism" speaks at CPAC in Dallas next week: Viktor Orban.

You're saying, that I claimed that poll means America loved Trump.

When I posted this..."america hated him, and for good reason."

I posted that America hated him for good reason. The way you interpret that, is that I'm saying America loves him.

Jim: America hated him, and for good reason
WDMSO: you're saying america loves Trump

I can't tell if you're truly this stupid, or just unbelievably dishonest. It's one or the other, there certainly isn't a third option.
You're saying, that I claimed that poll means America loved Trump.

Oh so now your honesty suggesting that’s not what you were suggesting every time you’ve said that!

Ya ok. Ps I am however better of then I was 20 years ago. But that’s on me

you are so slow it’s unbelievable.

for the 1000th time. America, for the most part, liked his policies. That’s the only conclusion to be drawn from that poll I cite.

At the same time, America, for the most part, hated him as a person. Nobody denies his deep ethical and behavioral flaws.

Do you not grasp that there’s a difference between being good at your job, and being a good person?

almost biden slow.....

remember trump was pounded by the press and pete every day for four years plus...that will eventually show up in polls...


brandon has been boosted by the press etc...every day since before he was elected and that is reflected in the polling as well...which means his actual approval rating is probably single digits...

Senate Republicans blocked the PACT Act – critical veterans’ healthcare legislation that they supported just weeks ago, to retaliate against Democrats for legislation lowering prescription drug prices?

You’re nuts
Biden’s been both sided since the start of his administration

But your hero Donald Trump brags about botching the covid pandemic, says he "listened to Fauci" and "did the opposite" of whatever the esteemed doctor suggested — which explains why 425,000 died of covid under Trump.

Trump budget bill INCREASED the deficit by $4 TRILLION.

Biden budget bill (announced last night) DECREASES the deficit by $300 BILLION.

There’s only one fiscally responsible party.

And by the way

New Fox News polls just out:

PA SEN:
47% Fetterman (D)
36% Oz (R)

GA SEN:
46% Warnock (D)
42% Walker (R)

So for those who need reminding:
In the last few WEEKS, the GQP has said f you to:
- Women
- Members of the LGBTQIA+ community
- Veterans
- Mother Earth
- School children (some of whom will soon enough be the product of forced births)

Simultaneously, it has hugged:
- Guns

if you’re an unborn child, forced birth is better than abortion. a whole lot better.

A national abortion ban would result in a 24% increase in deaths for all women and a 39% increase in deaths for non-Hispanic Black women. There is nothing pro-life about Republicans’ forced-birth movement.

Pregnancy is 14 times more likely to result in a woman’s death than an abortion; and the states outlawing abortion right now already have the highest rates of infant and maternal mortality due to high levels of poverty, limited access to healthcare, and refusal to expand Medicaid.

Forced-birth laws will not save any lives. They will just kill more women and create ripple effects of trauma and devastation throughout society. None of this is about life. The same people pushing forced birth laws also want to outlaw contraception and sex education.

The first sentence of the 1st Amendment states that no law will be made respecting an establishment of religion. SCOTUS’ overturning of Roe was flagrantly unconstitutional and this court of religious ideologues has absolutely zero legitimacy.

Women will not tolerate this; nor should they. The issue isn’t when life or conception begins. It’s who should make decisions about women’s bodies: women themselves or governments. And there is no debate. Women should make these decisions for themselves. Not the government.

you dodged my question naturally. when you were an unborn child, would
you prefer forced birth or abortion.

If there were a nationwide abortion ban, how many babies’ lives would be saved?

( 1 it will save a million lives a year.

(2) believing abortion is a state issue, is not part of any religion that i know of.

(3) the question of when life begins, is literally all that matters, because everyone, including you, are ok with laws that prevent women from using their bodies in a way that hurts someone else! you and i both agree on that. so the only question, is when the baby constitutes someone else.

It’s still based on religion, Alito said as much in Rome.

If forced birth believers were really for life the fact that at 17.4/100k maternal mortality in the US is already a disgrace.
The rest of the developed world for example the UK 6.5 and France 7.6.
Within parts of the US we're talking 3rd World levels, Louisiana 58.1, Georgia 48.4.

You think now those numbers will improve?
We’ll be lucky if they don’t quadruple in Red states in the Deep South.

he said no such thing in Rome. he talked about two different topics

I don’t like the idea of 9 unelected judges getting to decide for all of us, what they think the constitution means. That isn’t any kind of religious argument.

I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute, where no Catholic prelate would tell the President…how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote…Today I may be the victim, but tomorrow it may be you.”—JFK 1960
