US Politics Thread

He had a Democratic Senate for 44 days, because of Kennedy, so I raise your “utter bollocks” with ObamaCare, and even that took political machinations that made it almost impossible.

You, like many others, always only seem to understand a fraction of the story and forget the President has almost zero legislative power.

Oh yeah. Don't listen to me.

Listen to your fellow Americans only yesterday...

There is hope…

Intelligent, well-spoken, military veteran, husband, father, Cabinet Secretary, and the person I voted for in the Illinois Dem Primary!



Imagine a Presidential Debate between Buttigieg and DeSantis?!

Assumes facts not in evidence.

She assumes things that COULD have been done, but we’re NOT done, for reasons she makes up, then uses religious zealotry as the reason for Trumps election and the latest Roe decision to bolster her “Republicans do what they say they’ll do, Dems don’t!”

it is nonsense.

As anyone with any knowledge of votes understands, adding or removing a single word/sentence from a bill can change the votes.

While I certainly admire her for attempting to be inside working fit change, as opposed to on the outside pointing at her political bugbears, it doesn’t mean she has all, or even any, of the answers…especially when it comes to the political realities of life.

Pointing is easy.

Buttigieg is unbelievably articulate, knowledgeable and honest.

He would utterly destroy DeSantis in a debate.

 

[Pedestrian]

Lol. This post is absurd

Nope they don't believe that.


Nope. No one believes that.


Yes. Some believe this. Especially when evidence sometimes show a flimsy correlation between some of those mandates and positive outcomes.

Mask mandates after vaccination... Anyone explain this please????


Popular vote is irrelevant to deciding the American Presidential election. Let me repeat that again: Popular vote is irrelevant to deciding the American Presidential elections!

There are legitimate reasons for this. And even if there weren't. It's not as if the rules got sprung on any candidates after the fact. Everyone knows the rules going in.

People who make this silly point ( Mostly bretherens from across the pond) have no idea how silly they sound. Let me help:

You sound like someone who complains that his team should be awarded victory because they create more chances than the opposition. Even if the opposition scored more goals.

That is how silly it sounds. The goal of football is to score the most goals. It's irrelevant who created the most chances.

Similarly,the goal of the American Presidential election is to win the most electoral seats. That's the goal! Not the most people votes.That would be the equivalent of having the most possession or most chances created. Irrelevant as far as winning is concerned.

Hope that helps clear things up for all Eternity.


Do you have something against Islam? You think a man or woman shouldn't be able to get on their knees and bow to face Mecca at Sunset? What do you have against Islamic call to prayer exactly?

Oh wait! It's Christianity that you were attempting to flex on. This is typical virtue signaling.


Yes. You've always had that right. And if you doubt that we can test it out now. I'm in serious need. Do you mind sending me 1000 pounds? Let me know where to send my a/c info. Or perhaps you have the right to refuse?

Government on the other hand are shitty at helping. And it by and large becomes an opportunity for corrupt Ill begotten gains. Have you not been reading about the PPP loans and all the scams that came with it?


Yes. Not unfettered. But within the already prescribed limits.

But the real issue here is about power.

Who gets to decide what speech is to the detriment of society? You? The newly formed Ministry of Disinformation in the Biden Orwellian nightmare? Me? Foggy. Dumb SWP?

Pray tell, was the Hunter Biden disinformation free of factual content? How about the lab leak theory? Both were basis for bans and suspension on Social media in the very near past. Today, they are deemed factual.

The reason why Free Speech is necessary, is because we often cannot pre determine which speech is true, right or for the betterment of humanity.

You have to think these things beyond slogans.


Yes, you should not have a right to abortion, just like you should not have a right to kill another person.

Yes, there are circumstances where that right will be yours. In self defense, you can kill another. To preserve your life, you may end that of another.

But that right should be constrained by circumstance. To suggest otherwise is barbaric and frankly, well... Toxic!

Matters not. He is gay and the loons there won't get past that. Backwards country with sensible edges

Ball has been in the political game, at least, 10 years. She's worked for the MSM for years before she left. She knows her political arguments. What she says may be speculative, but they're not without reason or foundation to work off.

I summarised the issue at hand before she went into detail, of which you've not pulled apart.

I'll take her opinion on the Democratic party and their political goals over anyone else's on here. Funnily enough, her arguments links to the article I dropped about Pelosi not actioning on Rowe vs Wade (as I did two years ago) when they had the chance.

So, ya know...

 

[Bigga]

Oh and Buttigieg is anything, but honest.

If he was that 'brilliant', he'd have wiped the floor with Sanders in their debates a couple of years ago.

DeSantis is an arsehole, though.

You go with her. Good for you. They didn’t have numbers then and could only do it with a suspension/destruction of the filibuster now, IF they could get Dems to go along with it!

Its a “put your name on this vote” moment, if Schumer does bring it to a floor vote. Im
Not sure Dems want the result, unless they have assurances from a few Rs!

FYI, it’s Roe! But, if Krystal says it’s “Rowe,” let’s go with that, shall we?!

Have a good weekend!

I wasn’t aware they had debated each other. When was that? I’ll go find the footage and watch where they disagreed and on what.

In case you missed it in 2016 or 2020, Bernie is a much loved, revered even, INDEPENDENT voice in the Senate who CAUCUSES with Dems. If you think he’s ever getting to the top, think again!

He does what he does well.
