Americans Vote For Election Deniers In Order To End Inflation, Inflation Says "F--- You"
Both Democrats and Republicans have largely coalesced behind their own party’s congressional candidates. But the poll showed that Republicans opened up a 10-percentage point lead among crucial independent voters, compared with a three-point edge for Democrats in September, as undecided voters moved toward Republicans.
The biggest shift came from women who identified as independent voters. In September, they favored Democrats by 14 points. Now, independent women backed Republicans by 18 points — a striking swing given the polarization of the American electorate and how intensely Democrats have focused on that group and on the threat Republicans pose to abortion rights.
The survey showed that the economy remained a far more potent political issue in 2022 than abortion.
“I’m shifting more towards Republican because I feel like they’re more geared towards business,” said Robin Ackerman, a 37-year-old Democrat and mortgage loan officer who lives in New Castle, Del., and is planning to vote Republican this fall.
Ms. Ackerman said she disagreed “1,000 percent” with the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and erase the national right to an abortion. “But that doesn’t really have a lot to do with my decision,” she said of her fall vote. “I’m more worried about other things.”
The apparent wisdom of the American electorate is that they dont care about abortion, democracy, racism, women's rights, insane conspiracy theories, dickheads dominating the Republican Party, traitors, pathological lying, or climate change, the voters only care about inflation, and intend to vote it out of existence in 3 weeks.
Many people truly seem to believe that voting Herschel Walker and the like into office will magically end inflation. Why that would be so is a complete mystery. But no one ever went broke underestimating the common sense of the mob.
We await that fine day when Americans vote to put Trump back in power , for life, so we dont have to deal with inflation ever ever again.
Honor, integrity, empathy, rule of law? Those things are for chumps.

We live in a degraded nation and society, and no end is in sight.
"The survey showed that the economy remained a far more potent political issue in 2022 than abortion"
"I’m more worried about other things.”
Yep, the idea and reality of having to choose between gas or groceries escapees the mental abilities of some on the left.
The problem is that the right has offered no solutions to inflation. "Vote for us because of inflation", is all they ever say. Perhaps, Greg, you would like to expand on how they are going to end inflation for all of us?
But first, Ozzy, you tell us what have the Democrats done to reverse inflation.
You are a very fervent conservative. You think that the Democrats should be voted out of power because of inflation. So tell us what the Republicans will do to end inflation immediately. Because that is the implied promise of the Republicans - put us in power and inflation will be over.
Otherwise it is just bullshit brainwashing designed to further the conservative position in the culture wars.
No John...I'm just a moderate Republican....you haven't been paying attention,
At any rate, the Democrats have shown they can only make bad things worse..
I expect the voters have had enough
I see a lot of white noise up there but no solutions coming forth on how republicans are going to end inflation. I don't expect them to do it overnight but if they get voted back in they had better have a solution by my birthday
Yeah, 'vote for us' republicans because we will put 'fat cats' back in their customary drivers' seats and conservatives have 'bigly' talking points for those who choose marginally to keep up with what's wrong with the world! Oh, and you can oppress anybody you don't like from our party; because, you know:
Don't forget:
"And you will be able to blame non-white skinned people for all your problems."
Who is oppressing you and how, CB?
If you have to continue asking—here is a thought: Get involved in politics; subscribe to newspapers; purchase a paid cable package. As for me personally-I don't ask (or care) about your private life. Don't bother asking or attempting to pry into mine. I hope we have a plan here.
My news resources are superb! But that is about as good as I 'plan' to share with you.
You are sorely mistaken! Republicans that follow a fool like Trump don't impress me in the least. Trump is trash.Those who follow him should demand their civil rights back, because they are taken from them!
See 2.1.10.
More like theft from "asshats" stealing rights because of greed!
Was it the damn California State Police?
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right, the un-rightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, strong and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star
They seem to be under the impression that just by being in power prices will drop. Perhaps they plan to kneel before MBS and suck every Saudi's princes 'barrel' of oil till OPEC drops the price.
What the Saudis have make plain is a connection to the Republican Party! They've exposed themselves as siding not only internationally with Russia, but nationally interfering in our mid-term elections to boost republican changes of victory. What pisses me off about it is politicians get caught by this kind of 'hit every election cycle 'flat-footed.' Where are the back-up contingency plans?!
Talk about politics and polls that beat life back into a 'dead horse'! Go on independent girls and women 'shoot' yourselves in the. . . for hope of a short-term gain. The lies, deceit, and intrigue must be missing in your lives. /s
(Right now, I am tired of arguing over you; it.) Color me: "Need a 'second wind.'"
What John seems to be saying is that if you are a Stacey Abrams follower, who likes her ideas on need-based financial aid for education, you really shouldn't vote for her because she is an "election denier."
You know you can't call out hypocrisy like that.
There are 299 election deniers running for office across the country, all of them Republicans. And you want us to accept an equivalency between all that and "Stacy Abrams". Its silly, but what else is new?
False:
Stacey Abrams is a democrat
And you want us to accept an equivalency between all that and "Stacy Abrams".
I want you to accept the hypocrasy of calling only some people "election deniers" and I want you to acknowledge the lunacy of rejecting a candidate for anything but the issues.
I want you to understand the utter inadequacy of your argument. Its embarrassing to watch someone equate "Stacy Abrams" to what the right wing has tried to do to our democracy over the past 2 years.
1. No one can tell us how the Republicans will immediately end inflation. As far as anyone can tell they literally have no plan.
2. "Issues" are not just inflation or transgender rights. "Issues" are also the continuation of pathological liars, white supremacists, delusional crackpots, and buffoons in the echelons of the Republican Party.
We have had one party rule for almost two years and the nation is suffering from it.
On the evening of election day—November 7, 2000—a clear winner of the presidential election had yet to emerge. Print and broadcast media cited often contradictory exit-polling numbers, and the races in Oregon and New Mexico would remain too close to call for some days. Ultimately, the contest focused on Florida. Networks initially projected Gore the winner in that state but later declared that Bush had opened an insurmountable lead. Gore called Bush to concede the election, but in the early hours of the following morning it became apparent that the Florida race was much closer than Gore’s staff had originally believed. Fewer than 600 votes separated the candidates, and that margin appeared to be narrowing. At about 3:00 AM Gore called a stunned Bush to retract his concession .
Under Florida election law, a machine recount of all votes cast was required because the margin of victory was less than 0.5 percent. In this race, the gap appeared to be roughly 0.01 percent. Both campaigns immediately dispatched teams of lawyers to Florida. Charges of conflict of interest were leveled by both sides—Bush’s brother Jeb was the governor of the state and Secretary of State Katherine Harris was cochair of Bush’s Florida campaign, while Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth headed the Gore campaign. By November 10 the machine recount was complete, and Bush’s lead stood at 327 votes out of six million cast. As court challenges were issued over the legality of hand recounts in select counties, news stories were filled with the arcane vocabulary of the election judge. County officials tried to discern voter intent through a cloud of “ hanging chads” (incompletely punched paper ballots) and “ pregnant chads” (paper ballots that were dimpled, but not pierced, during the voting process), as well as “ overvotes” (ballots that recorded multiple votes for the same office) and “ undervotes” (ballots that recorded no vote for a given office). Also at issue was the so-called butterfly ballot design used in Palm Beach county, which caused confusion among some residents who had intended to vote for Gore—leading them to inadvertently cast some 3,400 votes for an ultraconservative third-party candidate, Pat Buchanan , which amounted to about 20 percent of his total votes statewide.
A tug-of-war ensued between Harris, who initially sought to certify the state’s election results on November 14, and the Florida Supreme Court, which ruled that hand recounts of questionable ballots should proceed in four counties and that the results must be included in the state’s final count. In the month following the election, some 50 individual suits were filed concerning the various counts, recounts, and certification deadlines. On December 8, in a 4–3 decision, the Florida Supreme Court ordered immediate manual recounts of undervotes for the office of president in all counties where such recounts had not already taken place.
The Bush campaign immediately petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay of the recount order, which was granted on December 9. Treating the petition as a writ of certiorari (a formal request for review), the Court agreed to take up the case, Bush v. Gore .
Majority opinion
At oral arguments on December 11, Bush’s legal team asserted that the Florida Supreme Court had exceeded its authority by ordering the manual recount of undervotes, while Gore’s team contended that the case, having already been decided at the state level, was not a matter for consideration at the federal level. In a per curiam ruling issued the following day, the Court found (7–2) that, owing to inconsistencies in manual recounting methods and standards between Florida counties, the Florida court’s order of a manual recount amounted to a violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment . By a smaller majority (5–4), the Court also ruled that no new recount could take place, because none could be finished by the “safe harbor” deadline—the date, set by federal law (3 U.S.C. §5), by which states were required to resolve any disputes regarding the selection of presidential electors in order to guarantee that their final determination “shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the counting of the electoral votes as provided in the Constitution.” Although failure to meet the deadline, which fell on December 12 (six days before the meeting of the Electoral College on December 18), would not have prevented Florida’s electoral votes from being counted, the majority argued that any court order for a new, “constitutionally proper” recount would violate a provision of Florida election law that empowered state courts to grant “appropriate” relief in response to legitimate challenges to certified election results. And that provision would be violated, according to the majority, because in drafting it the Florida state legislature presumably intended that any such relief be completed by the safe-harbor deadline. (The majority also argued that the Florida Supreme Court itself had recognized this intention when, in earlier related cases, it had referred to voters’ “participating fully in the federal electoral process” and to election statutes’ being “cognizant of the federal grant of authority derived from the United States Constitution and derived from 3 U.S.C. §5.”)
Concurring opinion
In a concurring opinion joined by associate justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas , Chief Justice William Rehnquist agreed with the majority regarding the intentions of the Florida state legislature (“Surely when the Florida Legislature empowered the courts of the State to grant ‘appropriate’ relief, it must have meant relief that would have become final by the cutoff date of 3 U.S.C. §5.”) but also suggested that the safe-harbor provision itself imposed a strict deadline beyond which no recounts could proceed (“In Presidential elections, the contest period necessarily terminates on the date set by 3 U.S.C. §5 for concluding the State’s ‘final determination’ of election controversies.”). Rehnquist argued in addition that the recount order was invalid because it effectively created new election law in violation of Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, which reserves that power to the state legislatures.
Dissenting opinions
The decision of the majority was heavily criticized by the minority, each one of whom wrote a dissenting opinion. All of the dissenting justices contended that the majority was wrong to prevent any remedial manual recount from taking place. In his dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens argued that the manual recount order had not violated the equal protection clause and that the majority’s reversal of the order contradicted principles of federalism and the Court’s tradition of deferring to state courts regarding the interpretation of their own states’ laws. He also disputed the stricter interpretation of the safe-harbor provision as prohibiting vote counting beyond the deadline: “those provisions [of Title 3 of the U.S. Code] merely provide rules of decision for Congress to follow when selecting among conflicting slates of electors.…They do not prohibit States from counting…legal votes until a bona fide winner is determined.” Justice David Souter asserted that the Court’s initial stay of the Florida Supreme Court’s recount order was unnecessary (“If this Court had allowed the State to follow the course indicated by the opinions of its own Supreme Court, it is entirely possible that there would ultimately have been no issue requiring our review”) and defended the Florida court’s interpretation of appropriate relief under state election law. Justice Stephen Breyer contended that the Florida Supreme Court would have been in a far better position than the majority to judge whether a remedial recount could have been completed before the meeting of the Electoral College on December 18, and he pointedly observed,
Finally, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg offered a detailed refutation of Rehnquist’s contention that the Florida Supreme Court had created its own election law; agreed with Stevens that the recount order had not deprived Florida voters of equal protection (“I cannot agree that the recount adopted by the Florida court, flawed as it may be, would yield a result any less fair or precise than the certification that preceded that recount”) and that the majority had discarded the Court’s former commitment to federalism and deference to state courts; and agreed with Breyer that, in Ginsburg’s words, “the December 12 ‘deadline’ for bringing Florida’s electoral votes into 3 U.S.C. §5’s safe harbor lacks the significance the Court assigns it” (“were that date to pass,” she continued, “Florida would still be entitled to deliver electoral votes [that] Congress must count”). Her decision to conclude her opinion with “I dissent,” rather than the traditional “I respectfully dissent,” was widely noted.
With the termination of the recount process, Florida’s 25 electoral votes were awarded to Bush. Gore officially conceded on December 13 and stated in a televised address, “While I strongly disagree with the Court’s decision, I accept it.”
Biden caused the inflation. Why would anyone be asking how will Republicans fix it? Job # 1 would be voting against those who went along with those spending binges & the war on American energy.
2. "Issues" are not just inflation or transgender rights. "Issues" are also the continuation of pathological liars, white supremacists, delusional crackpots, and buffoons in the echelons of the Republican Party.
Issues begin with the bread & butter factors of everyday life: the economy, safety & security and family. For example: Anyone who had all their savings in a 401K has now lost 25% of it's value under Biden. Poor people who need to commute to work are now afraid to use the subway. Everyone is paying more for food and gasoline. In the meantime democrats can only hope that some kid living at home will vote of some silly side issue that seems to be immoral.
There was nothing even remotely close to this in any of Trump's avalanche of bogus claims about the election.
Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.
Uh, because they want to be elected, despite being representatives of the insane party.
What's insane is voting for the same radicals that caused it because the opposition didn't offer a plan. When the Republicans were last in power inflation was at 1.7%, gas was about $2 a gallon and we were in a Bull market.
Let's just make Trump dictator for life and then all our worries will be over.
-
Hitler became dictator for life because he was able to claim he made life materially better for the German people, and thus not enough of them opposed him.
-
Are you ready for Marjorie Taylor Greene to become one of the most influential members of a Republican controlled House Of Representatives ? because that is what will happen if the GOP retakes the majority there. There will be so many lunatics and crackpots in the Republican caucus there that they will be able to"veto" anything the House tries to do. That is not speculation - there are more than enough conspiracy addled lunatics running in safe red districts to give them a large percentage of the GOP house membership. They dont need to be a majority, they just have to be a large enough group to make it impossible to do anything without their approval. Taylor-Greene WILL be one of the leaders of that group.
This is the level of insanity we are facing.
We are hearing the same claim being made by Democrats and their lemmings.
So you are good with MTJ?
Wha???
I'd prefer that to inflation, crime and open borders.
Who?
1. There is no guarantee whatsoever that the Republicans will end inflation.
2. Crime rates were much higher in the 80's and 90's. No one panicked and cried that we should elect a crackpot government back then.
3. The border will NEVER be secured without comprehensive immigration reform and an addressing of the issues in the southern countries that these migrants stream in here from.
Electing far right crackpots to control our legislature will solve none of these issues.
Once inflation is a problem, it is very hard to correct it. That being said, why would anyone vote for those who created the monster?
2. Crime rates were much higher in the 80's and 90's. No one panicked and cried that we should elect a crackpot government back then.
The crime rates of 2022 were totally unnecessary. It will take a lot of work to restore local policing, normal prosecutions and respect for the law before people will feel safe again. It is a killer issue for democrats.
3. The border will NEVER be secured without comprehensive immigration reform and an addressing of the issues in the southern countries that these migrants stream in here from.
Democrats have what they consider comprehensive immigration reform. What you are now seeing is eactly what they want. As for the terrible places that these people are coming from, they can't be fixed by the US.
Did you see where the administration has reinstated the Title 42 Restrictions at the border?
Correct, there is no guarantee. Not asking for a guarantee, that's your push to try to make it look bad for the right. But inflation is on everybody's mind and history shows that the party in power tends to get blamed when inflation is high. I'm sure had this inflation hit during the last administration you would have been among the leaders bitching about how the administration failed the public and caused the high inflation.
But it did lead to the passage of the 94 Crime Bill. Was that a good thing? Do we need the Administration to push an update on the bill and force more incarcerations?
Getting the two parties to agree to comprehensive immigration reform may be a bridge too far as the extremists have gained control and refuse to negotiate with each other. But the policies of the last administration were successful in reducing the flow of migrants from those southern countries. Or did you forget that the migrant caravans started ramping up when Biden won the election because he, on day 1 of his administration, signed EO's to undo every EO on the Southern Border that the previous Administration set up?
The far left crackpots currenting in control of our legislature has done nothing to solve these issues either.
But Republicans controlling Congress will serve as a brake to the party that supports inflationary policies. Republicans in Congress can't stop Joe Biden from issuing executive orders costing hundreds of billions of dollars, but they can stop massive borrowing to fund Democratic boondoggles via legislation.
No one panicked and cried that we should elect a crackpot government back then.
Crime was a major issue and democrats like Biden and Clinton led the crackdown. I guess now they need even more murders before returning to sanity, murders which their pro criminal DAs will surely cause. People don't like carjackings and murder going unpunished. Not that hard to figure out.
order will NEVER be secured without comprehensive immigration reform
It can be secured by securing the border, but Democrats refuse to even try to reduce illegal immigration.
I meant to say MTG
as in Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The head of the Republican Party that you wish to see retake power is a traitor. One would think that sober fact would "trump", pardon the pun, the desire to punish the party currently in power.
By your theory here, the party in power during inflation should be voted out no matter what. I say that does not apply this time BECAUSE we have a Republican Party led by a delusional lunatic traitor.
Papering over the far rights control of the GOP is not a solution, and will not be seen as one.
Eric Trump tweeted just a day or two ago that there is no more Republican Party and that it is now the Trump Party.
No conservative will do anything about this, and if they get back in power it will only get worse. Trump will take credit for all of it and will be re-energized.
Thanks for clarifying.
To be honest, I haven't paid attention to her. I've been trying to navigate the Biden train wreck. That's currently effecting my work, and family.
So rather than respond to what I actually posted you revert to your standard boogyman, Trump. Can you truly ignore that based on history, the party in power during a period of high inflation tends to get the blame for said inflation? And that the party in power when inflation is high tends to lose seats in a mid-term election cycle?
You're certainly entitled to say what you want but I believe you are wrong. We will find out in just a few weeks but I believe that the Democrats are going to lose seats in the House and potentially in the Senate due to the primary kitchen table issues that people are looking at which are inflation and crime. But nowhere did I say that the party in power during inflation should be voted out no matter what. I said that historically the party in power when inflation is high tends to lose seats. Stop blaming all the problems on Trump.
You sound like a lot of Democratic TV ad's we see where all that gets pushed is fear about what the Republicans will do if they take power in Congress. I don't see Democrats talking about what can be done to help fix the high costs that people are experiencing daily. And those costs are going to get worse as the weather turns cold and people have to start heating their homes.
I have a challenge for you. In one reply, rather than complain about how bad Trump is why don't you come up with an actual constructive something that Washington can do to help with the issues of the day?
Either you dont get it or you are deliberately deflecting. Trump is not a "boogeyman", he is the standard bearer for a movement that intends to contest every election that they lose from here on out. And if he runs for president again he will get the GOP nomination and we will go through all this insanity again in 2 years, and then two more years while he cries "foul" etc. When is enough with this asshole enough for you? I would really like to know.
I have a challenge for you. How many crimes against this country should Trump be indicted for? Keep it to a manageable figure.
Trump is most definitely YOUR boogeyman, you deflect to him in almost every seed. He's not on the ticket for this election cycle any more than Biden is or Obama is. But you don't seem to want to admit that kitchen table issues like inflation and crime, those issues that people have to see and deal with every day is more important in their decisions on voting that what Trump or Biden or Obama might be saying.
As for 24, I've already stated that I DO NOT WANT TRUMP TO RUN AGAIN. Are you finally understanding that this is MY POSITION. But I'm more a big picture guy and not someone who can only focus on one or two things, and when I look at who I am voting for I DO NOT vote party, I vote for who I think will do the best job in that position. And yes, there are some people running who support Trump or parrot his lie of the stolen 2020 election. But I'm looking at more than just that, I am looking at what else the person has done vs the other guy, what the other guy has done and said. So I tend to look at the whole candidate rather than just one little part of the candidate to determine who the fuck I am going to vote for. Does this FINALLY MAKE IT CLEAR TO YOU?
Not until you have actually answered my challenge to you. You have a history of not replying to questions (from me) and just ignoring them. So you want me to answer your challenge than you first answer mine.
And exactly is what way is Ronna McDaniel (the chair of the Republican Party) a "delusional lunatic traitor"?
While I understand that our current inflation issue is painful (it also happens to be a worldwide problem, so I am not sure how you can blame it all on Biden), the fact is that Republican leadership is considering giving that conspiracy believing moron a leadership position. I find that disturbing.
I have seeded and written more articles that are not about Trump than you have seeded on any topic.
By the way, someone who ALWAYS defaults to defending Trump is not a moderate. Someone who always takes the "conservative" position on issues is not a moderate. People can see what you say, they dont need to see how you characterize your own comments.
I do put it on Biden. His administrations policy and spending are doing nothing to slow inflation. His job is to look out for the United States. He's done everything but that. Its during his time, it's all on him.
Now speaking of morons in office, you seem willing to overlook the moron in office for a whataboutism situation.
And how many articles seeded by other people that are on topics that are not Trump do you come into and deflect about Trump? Get real...
Because I don't jump up and down with you, you think I am defending Trump. Your bias has clouded your vision as you cannot see anything else. By the way, the post you responded to was not defending Trump but based on what you typed one can only believe that you read it somehow.
And I still notice that you don't answer questions. It shows that you don't want discussion, you want obedience to your demands. Give it a rest. When you've replied to my challenge in 3.2.26 I'll respond.
First of all, this is a deflection from the fact that MTG is going to get a big position from the Republicans. She is a nut.
As for Biden, please explain to me how he is responsible for the global economy, which affects our economy.
I'm really curious as to how one man can single handedly cause inflation to increase or decrease
You are the one that deflected to her. Not me.
What happens here in the US has an effect on the global scale. NONE of his bills or policies have done anything to lower inflation. If anything they have made them worse. He's in office, it's all on him.
The answer to that is they can't. We have major supply chain issues, shortages of food caused by climate change, and gas issues. Also, the fed works independently of the President, so there is that, too.
You are kidding, right? Have you read the article? That is the topic of the article.
What happens worldwide also affects us. How can Biden fix supply chain issues? He can't even affect the Fed.
He can start by pulling his head out of his 4th Point of Contact.
Exactly, Presidents like to take unearned credit when the economy is good and distance themselves when it not. In this case both are going on at the same time.
In addition to the factors that you've cited, the combination of COVID spending, extension of unemployment, American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Act has primed the demand pump when the supply bucket isn't able to keep up. Two papers below has the same findings.
T he recent fiscal interventions in response to the COVID pandemic have altered the private sector’s beliefs about the fiscal framework, accelerating the recovery, but also determining an increase in fiscal inflation.
The paper, Understanding U.S. Inflation During the COVID Era , analyzes why the pandemic-related surge in inflation has persisted and runs simulations under different assumptions to look at where inflation might be heading.
The nation is suffering because some conservatives see themselves as having only one job to bring back the 'old ways' status quo of white control ("stranglehold") over a nation of a multiplicity of people and ways of life! Call it what it is!
Now that is a spin on the state of affairs. "One-party rule" in a two-party system? How the "F" did this happen. Oh, tragic/dreadful political 'combat' that does not allow for cooperation or even decency. Well, I guess one has to be cruel and indecent to takeover over people's lives and put them back into their 'boxes.'
Republicans stop sitting on your damn hands and closing off your minds; get engaged for the good of the country! And 'h' NO! Republicans can't just stipulate that it's their way or the 'highway' - conservatives can't just call for 'rockin' it like its 1776/9!
It's. . . cute how your comment makes social and political complexity so simple. /s
Try that on when "the whole" Trump transactionally squeezes the hanging ball sacs and butts of those he help get elected to kill off democracy. We can't let democracy die (without a fight) just because you have little to nothing to lose by letting liars, cheaters, and corruptible people get a job representing Snuffy's interests!
Some of us have no choice: We have to take this on! Sorry, that it will make some of you frustrated and sad.
But, bu—you didn't think that when Trump 'bigly' failed to secure the border wall from "sea to shining sea"! Oh and don't you know that dude don't even talk about building walls anymore. I guess somebody made a 'believer' out of him!
Don't be partisan. Be fair! And when you do, 'riddle me this':
How is it that true the world is dealing with inflation and higher gas prices if it is a 'local' U.S. problem?
Please proceed. . . I am a conservative can/will be fair and balanced in reply, eh?
No John, those are your feelings.
Issues are things that have tangible impacts on people's lives.
Got it. So you're another single-issue voter. Doesn't matter what else might be in the mix, you find that one thing that bugs you and it's 'Off with his head' time. And nice use of the partisan rhetoric there.. oh my fucking god, he's going to kill off democracy.
Exactly, the only people that I hear talking about border security are Dems running campaigns in Arizona and Texas.
That observation is of enormous comfort to Dems running this year, thanks.
WHATEVER. Did you hear about/read in today's news: Trump tweeted "American" Jews owe him in so many words. But, conservatives would have to get 'connected' to politics to hear/read/comment about it. Many Jews will take that as it was: an attack on their personal integrity, which it is.
But classify me/them anyway you wish; it's a "free" country —as long as you can keep it. /s
Please don't discount feelings, Jack.
Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love
What do you mean?
That observation is of enormous comfort to Dems running this year, thanks.
Which part didn’t you understand, your question or my reply?
Your reply at 3.2.48.
Waiting patiently for your astute explanation.
I’m sorry but I can’t think explain your comment.
Whatever? Did you even read what I posted or did you just gloss over it again? And to answer your question, no I didn't read what Trump had tweeted about. Unlike others, I don't follow Trump around with a need to see everything he says. Unlike some people on this board, I've moved on and I have better things to do than look under every rock in fear of what Trump might have said.
But hey, your last line. just keep pushing that fear. It might change a vote or two in three weeks.
Nice try. It's news 'bigly.' How do you keep up with the rest of the world if you don't read what is current? As for me, I might vote for Trump and his republican cohorts too (like some of you) but—oh look, that dumb mealy-mouth dude and his cohorts just opened their bigfat mouths and demonstrated for those of us who have media services just what kind of dirty, tricky, fools they are.
But you do "better things" than support democracy and when you find Trumpism coming after your access to liberties and freedoms; maybe then you will read up and keep current. /s
Happens somewhere on the planet everyday that someone says "Uh-uh, I should have kept up with 'what's happening.'
(I have heard it said that 'ignorance is a blessing; but in some conservatives case it may be the truest form of a curse!) Moreover, I can't imagine how you find so much to criticize about democrats and the democratic party from being detached and 'keeping your own counsel.' How curious is that?
Needless search for endless rhetoric. Do some conservatives ever purpose to resolve the problems of this world? We keep talking about ending 'wars' and yet ceaseless baiting and repetitious 'combat' is all that we get! But why should I look for solutions in this world. . . its only the 21st century and we're prospecting other worlds to populate (with our 'baggage') and hatred of each other!
Sorry, too emotional.
No, not too emotional and as always, love your unusual syntax. But help me out, how does your reply relate to Vic's 3. comment?
What do you mean? You are suggesting it is too much?
No, of course not. I just don’t understand the connection to 3. comment.
It's pettiness. As a nation, we have bigger and more important mattes we should be applying our brains to, than trying to outsmart each other and pitch talking points back and forth. Humanity is exploring space when our politics is at best 'sub-standard fare.' We can't take this 'hit out into space: Oops, Starlink is helping to guide bombs/missiles to take life on this earth. I sure hope we won't be pushing for this on some near or remote orbiting 'surface.'
We can do better. We ought want to do better, nevertheless. Humanity is 'calling' us back to higher planetary and off-world goals. Can you hear it through all the pettiness about election chicanery.
Its truly amazing how badly democrats have fucked this up. The Republicans in 2016 nominated the most unpopular man to ever run for President, and the Democrats responded by fixing their primaries so the only person Trump could possibly have beaten was nominated. They blew a chance to build a decisive margin in the Senate in 2018 by launching the most embarrassing investigation in Senate history in 2018 when Democratic Senators pushed the theory of a corrupt (soon to be jailed) porn lawyer who claimed Kavanaugh was leading literal rape gangs in high school, and featured them pouring through high school yearbooks looking for secret jokes.
Refusing to learn anything, they doubled down on racialist identity politics, forcing men into woman lockers rooms, supporting riots and defunding the police in 2020, thus allowing Republicans to split the Senate and somehow almost retake the house despite Trump yet again leading the ticket. And wonder of wonders, instead of focusing on the kitchen table issues people care about (inflation, inflation, crime, immigration and inflation again)) Democrats pursued policies designed to make all of those things worse while their senile leader essentially ignored and minimized voters concerns, on the rare occasion he would speak coherently in public.
Republicans tried to give democrats a chance to return to the national dominance they held for generations, only to Democrats implode with their obsessive focus on race and other topics that repel voters like a three hour riot from two years ago where the rioters didn't kill anyone .
Americans haven't actually voted yet.
But when they do, inflation will say fuck you.
Or more probably, "thanks for the boost, suckers!"
With Brandon the Human Fuck Up Machine in the White House of course inflation will continue to rise.
Remember; Brandon is king- he doesn't need Congress to allocate money. He can do whatever he pleases.
Maybe Brandon is just a slow learner; because he ignored the Supreme Court's ruling as well on Renter's Moratorium.
King Brandon. Long live the Human Fuck Up Machine.
