  1. what specifically did Trump do with sentencing issues and not coddling criminals? Dude pardoned a bunch of criminals in his orbit, he was definitely coddling them.
  2. I'm sure your sources are totally unbiased. Quick question, substance of the walls in your house?
  3. it's actually not even 1/2 as much as we spend on the military. Why would you call it the largest spending bill when at 350b per year, it's not even 1/2 as much as the annual 700b+ military spending? We spend twice as much on the military every year.
  4. I totally think the results could have been different. Other presidents have done way better jobs with pandemics in the past.
  5. Trump literally has the worst job numbers of any president in the past 100 years. I'm not sure what qualifies as "screw it up to bad" if that doesn't.
  6. fyi it's basically the same now though even though 600k haven't died under Biden
  7. I don't think destroying the filibuster would be considered overreach in and of itself, but I think it's fair to say that it may serve to control their impulses. However I can think of probably 80 some million people better to rely on for Democratic party impulse control than the 50 GOP clowns in the Senate. I don't think trading our infrastructure, voting rights, etc etc for some impulse control is a good trade off.
  8. When trump was in charge, we had the deadliest year on record, as well as the worst year of job losses in almost 100 years. Not sure I buy that "the country was in better shape" when he was in office. Covid hasn't stayed the same under Biden.
  9. I think it's kinda funny that you argue that their concern is when the GOP is in control. I'd wager that their concern is getting reelected. It makes sense for Manchin to be this way b/c of that, but I don't know if I'd say the same for Kristen. I don't think it's much of a move to the left to go from one of the two dems that doesn't support it to one of the 48 that do. That's all they need to do in Arizona primary. 350b/year for 10 years actually isn't all that much money. Pretty sure that's less than half of our annual military budget.
  10. You mean when they go ahead and destroy the filibuster themselves? Or are you talking about how they've already exempted their main two priorities (SCOTUS & Tax Cuts) from the filibuster altogether? I'd be interested to see what GOP nonsense is getting blocked by filibuster.
  11. I'm going to go ahead and assume that there's some sarcasm/trolling interweaved, but maybe it's just me, I have a hard time following your actual argument when that is weaved through.
  12. ok, I'll say when I hear an American person say it. lol no wonder they were so easy to defeat with words like them words
  13. I've got a bit of a mental list of words or phrases that I hear someone say and they instantly diminish the speaker's credibility in my mind. For example... "Democrat Party". Recently added was any form of "do/did my own research". The list has a new addition: "the jab"
  14. Wild juxtaposition honestly
  15. romad wtf is going on this dude thought he was tough on putin for the cameras? lmfao
  16. Informal poll Consider Trump at the Helsinki presser w/ Putin. Would you call this: a) Tough or b) Not Tough
  17. I've had this tweet bookmarked on my toolbar for a really long time. This is what was apparently "tough" for the cameras:
  18. Imagine thinking what he did for the cameras w/ Putin was "tough".
  19. I guess I don't remember him being tough for the cameras. He is pootins bish thru and thru.
  20. Remember Obama with Medvedev? Imagine being pissed about that but not this.
  21. https://twitter.com/LeifLinderman/status/1442626777390616576?s=19 Great shirt by Dramond.... not embedded for language
  22. it got a lot more attention for being spelled wrong than it would have spelled right. I could def see it being intentional.
