I'm bringing the President of the United States's response to the Solarwinds hack, which as I mentioned, yet again shows a dismissal of his intelligence community and a deflection from Russia.
I said the thing about getting sick and resigning from office was a poorly-timed joke based on something he said to Obama years earlier. Watching the entire segment as opposed to the Newsmax soundbite, you would see that.
That is the only time I have ever excused anything as a joke and I have never said anything about, "Joe being Joe."
Peter Navarro is certainly an unbiased source of information as it pertains to claims made by President Trump.
Is he the one who has the proof?
You just keep playing politics Rev. That’s probably your biggest problem, which sadly makes you ignorant. You see who said it, and immediately dismiss it. He only gave an opinion, but blamed BOTH sides.
Read that last sentence again.
Your previous post did not address a single thing that you are pretending to care about in this post.
Those on the right are tired of politics, whereas the liberals are gridlocked in playing politics. We realized our party sold us out a while back, but you liberals still believe in this fantasy that your party cares for you.
They don’t. Very few do.

Apparently Marie Antoinette did not actually say "Let them eat cake." Either way, I love the meme.
Yeah, it just cracked me up. I think I despise Mitch more than any other politician, even the orange one.
She did not. Haha
If you like learning about the French Revolution, check out the Revolutions podcast. I believe they cover that one in season 3. Fantastic storytelling!
Agreed. Have no idea how he's been allowed to stay in power for 40 freaking years. Wake up Kentucky.
ME too. I think he is more dangerous than Trump. He could have acted like a check on the executive, as he was supposed to, rather than ramming through as many unpopular and sometimes unconstitutional programs and bills that he did.
Y'all are cute. Acting like that bill isn't a disgrace perpetrated by **** politicians on both ends. Any republican who signs their name to it is as big of a disgrace as their democratic counterparts. If they're going to give free money to people, why just $600? Why are they giving as much money to foreign entities as they are to small businesses that have been murdered by their own government?
Why are you guys only clowning cocaine Mitch and letting crazy Nancy off the hook? Remember when she said $1.8 trillion and $1,200/person was not enough? What changed since then where now $900 billion and $600/person IS enough?
You people give @Mac9192 ****. But he is right about this. Conservative voters recognize that republican politicians are do nothing pieces of **** that we're stuck with without having a viable third option. But liberals are completely incapable of calling fouls against their own team. They actually think their side is morally superior.

The Stimulus is pathetic and Pelosi and Schumer are absolutely at fault. Pelosi straight up gambled with relief for Americans in October/November and the people hurting are us. If anyone disagrees with that then they're simply not being honest with themselves. I mean seriously, you scream and holler that even $2 trillion wasn't enough(which to be totally fair and according to economists it wasn't) but now $600 is a significant amount? The ****?
With all that being said McConnell deserves and has deserved to be dragged for years now because he is little more than an obstructionist who literally only cares about lining his and corporations pockets.
Our leaders on both sides have absolutely failed us and our only hope is that the Biden administration can set some things straight and get us another relief package much quicker than this one and of course, get the vaccines distributed quickly so we can actually start beating back the pandemic.
Read the bill. Hundreds of millions of dollars is going to foreign countries. Meanwhile, small businesses must qualify for further relief. Such a sham and a disgrace to our country. If Trump does one more thing on his way out, he needs to veto this abortion of a relief bill. Mitch and Nancy can be buried alive in the same shallow grave for all I care.
You actually had a solid post going...until this part here. Not picking on you, but don’t hold your breath on Biden/Harris doing anything that will truly benefit our country.
There’s a better chance that Herb Sendek gets into the Basketball Hall of Fame than Biden doing much positive.
Here's the absolute kicker in all this though, it would cost a measly, sickly $393 billion to send every man, woman and child in America, literally everyone a $1,200 stimulus. That is $ .4 Trillion. That's it. We're getting half that and only half of Americans will ever see the damn thing. What in the absolute hell are they doing? There is no better way to achieve their goal of stimulating the economy than to just cut everyone a check, extend unemployment, allowing people to get on their feet and back to work and being done with it. They are throwing our money away.
What can I say, I'm a eternal optimist lol. We'll see though, if they don't then it may be wise to spend that stimulus on gas, bottles, rags, lighters and pitchforks.
Not only am I in the same book as @Shatterthesky22 right now, but I am on the same page. Hell has frozen over.
Somewhere out there, that thud sound was @topps coach passing out reading all this.
Honestly can't believe my eyes lmao. ***** gotta be bad if me, @GhostOf301 and you are all in agreement.
Anybody who is not pissed off about this bill is a coward afraid to speak out against their team. $600 to the people who have worked through this, lost revenue from this, lost livelihoods from this and lost friends or family from this is a huge "F" you when you see the money given to special interests and foreign countries for whatever reason. Any politician who flaunts it as a success should be tarred and feathered. Or shot, whichever you prefer. Trump needs to veto this bill, or his Americans first policy is dead.
The truth is that neither your amount or the amount in the bill ($600) is going to make enough difference to people who are really hurting. Yan's $2000/month plan would actually make some difference.
Also, a lot of people did not lose their jobs and have made good money in the market. there is no reason that they should be getting this money.
Pelosi is not perfect but her hands were a bit tied. Any bill was going to have to pass in the Senate and McConnell was not going to let a bill like what she wanted pass. So she had to decide whether to hold out and leave Americans with nothing or compromise. There is simply no political will to hold fast. Too many people are hurting. As far as gambling in October and November, first of all Trump was telling the Senate not to pass anything until after the election so there is zero reason to believe that things would have been different.
You're a political hack. You treat politics like you do sports. Defend your team no matter what.
Nancy Pelosi is not perfect. But her hands were tied. She had to give millions of dollars to Pakistani gender studies. She's not perfect. But her hands were tied. She had to give 150+ million dollars to Nepal for undisclosed purposes. She's not perfect. But she had to give Sudan +$100million for undisclosed purposes.
This is Another “stick it up the stupid American people’s a** with no lube, they’re just peasants,” stimulus (relief) package.
What a bunch of pathetic, worthless slime balls up there. They give criminals a bad rap.
I’m positive after reading these posts that @durhamgolfer is the most rigid, entrenched, but most of all, delusional, liberal on the board. @Jtre is a distant second, and he’s off the rails.

I saw nothing in the bill or the internet about giving money for Pakistani gender studies. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to where you are getting this list of aid.
It would still be a hell of a lot better than the crumbs we're getting. I'm not saying it's enough but it would help much more. And yes they should be getting it, here's why, the point of the stimulus (or at least it's supposed purpose) is to well, stimulate the economy and giving them money to just play with and spend would do just that. Give everyone a check because A. It's fair B. It's cheap and C. It would do much more than just sending huge checks to corporations.
