  1. I'll agree with that, but I'd use a different word than "enthusiastic". LOL
  2. I'm not the one who's mad that their sleazy politician lost. Trump sleazed his way thru businesses, bankruptcies, marriages, the courts, and our government, yet millions of people are so mad he lost that they'll falsely believe he did win. I'm the least of anyone's problems.
  3. He said "wait and see" until it's passed. I reminded him that Wall Street isn't reactionary. I don't know if you can change capital gains taxes by your revenue. Pretty sure it's flat rate.
  4. Former Mexican officials who negotiated the deal with the Trump administration have repeatedly said there is nothing in the deal to fund a border wall. A modernized NAFTA could potentially grow the economy and increase overall tax revenues, but those would be paid by the increased output of U.S. companies and workers and not by the Mexican government.
  5. Well, it is more likely someone who IS being investigated is going to prison than him just claiming they would be. Also, I hope I'm right, too. I've been holding on to some stuff forever, and this might be a good time to cash it out. It would be just my luck that I(of modest means) get caught in the wide net cast for the big fish. Biden mentioned raising capital gains taxes(ie stocks). I wasn't babbling.
  6. So the other 200K times he said it he was lying??? So maybe instead of going before a crowd of chanting unsuspecting fools and saying it, he should have made it clear that was his platform?? Let's not be naive here. We know how the guy operates. What could make a bunch of people who hate Mexicans happy? A wall. What would make em even happier? Telling them Mexico was paying for it.
  7. Supreme Court says corporations are 'people'. So when the 'people' voice their opinion about something, the Republicans threaten to shut down the 'people's' opinion. MAGA Mitch style
  8. Do you think that Wall Street waits until something happens to figure it in?? If the tax increase is a near certainty it's already figured in somewhat. I do love the "just wait till..." mentality though. it's strong here. Where's the anyday now report that was gonna put Hillary, Obama and the deep state in prison???? Did Biden's DOJ supress it or was it the Trump DOJ that did that??????
  9. Still better than saying it was going to go away magically on its own. As for exit strategy, well Trump threw all his marbles into the vaccine, so if it failed there would be none. That wouldn't have been the NYT fault, because they just print newspapers for profit. Also keep in mind a lot of people feel it's not the governments job to "keep us safe'.
  10. More proof that Trump is the ultimate coward. He sure seems to talk like a tough guys who knows it all, BUT he never says much about anything that's controversial to his base. Chauvin and vaccinations have been the biggest issues for a while now, but you hardly hear a peep out of him about either. I have absolutely no doubt that if it served him politically, he'd be on the wrong side of both of these issues. He'd pivot to BLM for Chauvin(like Don Jr), and would be tweeting about how bad vaccines are if he didn't help obtain them.
  11. That's fine with me as long as I don't have to hear or see what Trump is confronting anymore. They'll just wheel him around for election cycles to bully your representatives into doing his bidding rather than that of their constituents.
  12. Fox is already correcting the claims. It's kind of ironic that the crowd you can throw any red meat at, and they'll devour it fell for this. Newest Republican fear mongering: they're coming for your cheeseburgers, because Biden canceled 4th of July failed.
  13. I don't think many people would have taken Biden at face value saying "he won by a lot" a day after he lost. He probably would have been smart enought to find, you know, some evidence before he made that claim. Biden supporters aren't the same as Trump supporters, and I don't mean that in a snarky way.
  14. Who paid for that wall would seem to be of the utmost importance here. Hint-it wasn't Mexico. Are you against people paying for their own walls, but for the government taxing citizens for walls they don't want?????
  15. I know. They call them alternative facts. The KEY part of my post was, "despite facts to the contrary". The people doing the recount are biased AND they are using the wrong pens that could alter ballots, BUTTTTT you're worried about fraud. Sounds like you're ok with allowing potential fraud if it's your guys doing it.
  16. Sticking your head in the sand is EXACTLY what not accepting a certified election looks like. If Jesus himself came down, and said there was no election fraud, the nutbars STILL wouldn't believe it. They'd just say he's a lib commie, and go on believing whatever they choose to believe despite facts to the contrary. I'm surprised Scott Norwood's field goal miss isn't still under review.
  17. What's less American than asking for ID for a reason that has never been shown to be an issue?
  18. Matt Gaetz is about to put sniffgate, pizzagate, and cuomogate all to shame. How did Q miss this one?
  19. The same people that blame the media for everything don't blame guns for anything. The media never shot anyone, right?
  20. Failed coup=bad rating at Panera. Got it. We often talk about what's right and fair independent of the administration. Don't let either media tell you rioting or insurrections are ok. We DO need law and order. It's possible to root for the blue, and understand BLM. It's not possible to accept what either is doing violently, but kneeling isn't the same as kneeling on some other person's neck. The irony of this is Trump's administration was gung ho to prosecute, and Biden's is gonna let em walk. Deliver equal justice, that is all.
  21. Jim, home security systems, and guns aren't the issue. No one feels that any American should feel unsafe in their own home. It's when people take em in public, and cause problems. That's just a fact, and the "good guys with guns" doesn't even it out. Ultra strict no carry laws might actually keep people safer. If I know every gangster, nutbar, or robber is going to get 20 years, then by removing them, we remove the problem. 100% no, but watch America's shootings go down in number real fast. I can leave my gun at home knowing that the guy who pulls his on me is going to prison for 20 years. If his intent was to kill me, my gun wouldn't stop him anyways. Unless you walk around all day tactically pointing your weapon at everyone it's extremely simple to sneak up, and shoot you dead. You can't stop that with a pistol in a holster. To simplify, it's just easier for police to weed out those with guns and lock em up forever if having a gun in itself is a crime. if aliens blended in with the real humans, I'd like to have a way to spot them.
  22. No daddy, I wanna hear the 'how the dad with a gun' solved the mass shooter problem story again.
  23. Exactly. The problem of the crime itself is a no-brainer. Fox gets 'em to argue about the minutia instead. I remember when people used to accept the fact, and move on. Now everyone just makes the Tucker Carlson face when you're right, and hates you later for it.
  24. Seeing he rescinded the policy, I'd have to say yes it was a FACT, and that he realized it made real good "political theater" for Democrats. Trump was an expert at shooting himself in the foot, because he's narcissistic and stubborn. Also, very good of you to take the Republican position they ALWAYS take, that nothing can be done about anything. You'd think as a businessman, he'd love the idea of having tons of people to do the unwanted jobs for peanuts, have them pay taxes, and get nothing in return for it. Holding people's children hostage(possibly forever) is maybe the worst political blunder of all time.
  25. Fauci was adjusting to changing conditions of a novel virus using his expert knowledge. Trump was always just talking out his ass. Also Trump stared at those empty cupboards for 3 years. If Covid happened in 2015, then I'd blame Obama for lack of PPE but it didn't.
