I mean, these always make me laugh.Do any memes past the Ghost test though?
I mean, these always make me laugh.
Not entirely accurate, I would never sit down my beer, not even during a handjob.
Join us over on r/politics !! It's a 7 million strong Trump-Hate circle jerk!!I mean, these always make me laugh.
Think Trump had a total of roughly 173 pardons as opposed to Obama’s 1700.All President’s use pardonsSo...what about Trump's pardons?
Full list of Trump's last-minute pardons and commuted sentences
The list, made public early Wednesday morning, included his former chief strategist and longtime ally Steve Bannon.www.nbcnews.com
Bunch of convicted felons here.
Well not quite. Your 1700 number is the total number of clemencies granted. As far as pardons Obama only pardoned 212. He was also president for twice as long.
It is a really complicated issue. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/y...-15-an-hour-would-be-very-minimal-11611239650
As Mayor Pete said he hopes to get all the laid off Keystone pipeline jobs at at 15.00 per hour as opposed to the 22.00 per hour they were making
I did not even remotely said that. I said that it was complicated and it is. There are no good answers to this and it merits some serious discussion and rethinking.
Your standard response .Google Senator Cruz questioning Mayor Pete inhis confirmation hearing.When asked about the laid off employees he said that he hoped that they would get other jobs.This is not a direct quote but paraphrased.This alone will end approximately 11000 high paying jobs not to mention making us dependent on Middle East oil again

Yes. I am sorry if my standard response is to ask to see the data you are relying on. Given how inaccurate you are, asking you where you come up with this stuff I like to double check before I get in a debate with you about your posts. Here is the quote of "Mayor Pete
“The answer is that we are very eager to see those workers continue to be employed in good paying union jobs, even if they might be different ones.” That is pretty close to what you said but it hardly suggests that this was a let them eat cake moment. Nor does it suggest that these new jobs would be at minimum wage. And, elsewhere in his responses to Senator Cruz, Buttigieg talked about creating jobs in the energy sector. Also, we somehow how managed to avoid dependency on Middle East oil for a while now even though that portion of the pipeline has not been operational. If we are so concerned, we could stop exporting as much crude oil as we do.
Biden's executive order paused deportation for some, but now all, undocumented immigrants. He wanted to review the ICE policies and revise them. What we had under Trump was disgraceful and counter to Trump's campaign promise that he would only deport the most dangerous criminals so a pause to review is a breathe of fresh air.
Whether or not there has been a spike in crime in NY has absolutely zero to do with Soros by the way. New Yorkers wanted these changes. It also would be really nice if you quit parroting those blatantly anti-Semitic tropes. I know you said you did not see them that way but I have pointed them out to you so you no longer have an excuse. And Harris's bail group was started to help protestors in Minnesota who were protesting police brutality after George Floyd was murdered post bail. I wonder whether you enjoy always being inaccurate.
There is nothing anti Semitic about Soros campaign to promote ultra left wing agenda on America.I don’t care how he worships God.You look for some ulterior racial Justice equality motive in everything.I have so little respect for your advice that I ignore it.Harris group has indiscriminately bailed out rioters regardless of the charges.Ask the thousands of people whose businesses were ruined if they are peaceful protesters
STFU with your accusations of antisemitism. Just because you tell someone that it is antisemitism to talk about George Soros does not make you right and you are not the higher authority to anyone here by any means. Also, there is no logical reason to defend the bail fund. Protesters don't get arrested, rioters do. And some very bad actors benefitted from that fund raiser.
First of all where are these new jobs going to come from.I would not expect someone who has never created a job to understand that jobs are precious and hard to create and maintain.It will be years before these new green energy jobs.The thousands of families who lost their livelihood cannot wait.You did have one correct statement President Trump made us energy independent for the first time in 50 plus years .Unfortunately Biden is well on his way to destroying that in his first few days in office
Your last sentence is the very definition of irony.
The Freedom Fund paid $75,000 in cash to bail out a man charged with attempted murder, who is accused of shooting at police during the May riots
The fund also paid $100,000 for the release of a woman charged with second degree murder for allegedly stabbing and killing her friend.
The group also paid $350,000 to bail out a twice convicted rapist, who is charged in two current cases with kidnapping, assault, and sexual assault.
A huge problem is having people who’ve never created a job, tell others how things should be. I believe minimum wage is a little low, but a jump to $15/hour seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I own my on business, in a small town. It’s simple math. I’m just a small outfit, with 6 employees. Anyone with 2 brain cells knows what I would have to do if we ever went to $15/hour minimum wage. The customer pays more, and much more. The other possibility, someone gets laid off.
I have also liked the gas prices we’ve had during Trump’s term. That itself was like a pay raise. It wasn’t but what, 5-6 years ago we were paying over 3/gallon? Killing the keystone pipeline is a move towards paying more than 3/gallon.
So much for America first. It was good while it lasted.

It is not only the Keystone deal he killed.He is also reviewing federal land land leases which probably means they are dead too.Look forward to not only gas increases but power bills as well. Reports are that he is using California as as a model so also look for rolling blackouts
Liberals calling 75 million Americans racist bigots is their ideas of unity
Awesome! There was a judge on the NY Court of Appeals who looked and talked just like RiffRaff, with the exception of his hair, which was shorter. The first time I was up there arguing, I had this sudden urge to answer one of his questions with, It's just a jump to the left.
As I explained to you, this move to accuse a guy like Soros of using his money to promote his own agenda is a variation of the theme that Jews control the money and use to to control the world. As for the rest of it, we could keep going round about how it was not the protesters who were responsible for most of the damage because you have decided that liberals are responsible for all the woes of this country. Ridiculous and inaccurate.
You are so off base with the video. Why bother watching when you can just lash out at the poster. By now you surely should recognize that Bleedit has made clear that he does not like either party. One would expect his posts then to focus on the faults of both the Dems and the Republicans. Not a criticism, just an observation.

Why do you alway throw “Jews” around when the subject of Soros comes up? He’s a piece of ****, simple as that. So is Gates. So what kind of racist are we for not liking him?
For the side that always blames others for being racist, you guys are always the ones throwing it in our faces.
It is a 60 day suspension on new leases but has enough room in it for quite a bit of drilling to continue. It was part of his campaign promise to address global warming and quite frankly if we don't do that quickly the planet is going to became unsustainable fairly quickly. These extreme weather patterns are a wake up call.
Did you read what I wrote to Topps? I believe I explained it there. There is a reason that Trump has claimed that Soros funded the migrant caravans and that is the dog whistle to the right that Jews are trying to take control of the country. Your first sentence of your post is so insensitive that I have to wonder whether you really care whether Jews get hurt by Trump's absolute ramp up of anti-semitic dogma during his presidency.
Again you are so addicted to victim politics that his desire to destroy everything American that you disregard the damage he does
The problem is even more systemic than that. The minimum wage protections were aimed at people who were new to the job market like young adults just starting out. The idea was that they would soon get themselves past entry level into higher paying jobs as they got more experience. That was fine when corporations invested more in their employees, like with job training programs or subsidizing schooling to get advanced degrees. But now with outsourcing, corporations don't do that and people are stuck at these low level jobs for extensive periods of time. Unless there is a way to convince corporations to return to prior times, this issue is here to stay.
Mac, I have friends who are small business owners who say exactly what you do. At least one friend who operates on a tight margin was saying that she could not afford to pay her three employees this higher minimum wage and she could not afford to cut hours either. I know mentioning HRC is not the best idea, but in the primaries, she actually said that she did not think a one-size fits all bill was a good idea and that it would lead to job losses.
We cannot sustain our way of life without oil.The technology is simply not there now.By putting us back to being dependent on foreign oil will drag us back to endless wars which Biden has been for for the last fifty years
Just curious how do you feel about the Democrats plan to create a domestic territorial group to spy on Americans.Funny your side has accused conservatives of being Nazi’S
