  1. Well, for Gable, he has not fared well in anything he has tried.  Which is unfortunate.    Perhaps he should do something else like accounting or engineering, or software writing, computer design, or interior design or landscaping, or car dealership, or asphalt sealing, or tree cutting, or welding, or fabrication, or dentistry, or dog boarding, or something else besides what he has been doing.   The world is his oyster.   He can do whatever, but what he has been doing hasn't really been doing much.

    Sure thing, champ.  So the Trump administration THOUGHT this was a deal just for them?  Or they knew the whole time it was started by Biden and just never mentioned it?  When someone makes a claim, it's THEIR responsibility to back it up with evidence. Ol' Markwayne could have given us his evidence right there.  Karl gave us his evidence and then was backed up quickly by multiple news outlets and the Trump administration themselves. 

    Generally speaking you are right here.   But when questions about Bidens mental fitness were advanced they were swatted down.  They never produced evidence of him being more active than anyone else.   It was taken at face value by media and Ds.  Only people on the right disagreed.  There was no attempt to back up the claim as you say they should have.  And nobody on the left pressed them for it.   So your thought here applies one way it would seem.

    Boeing was contracted in 2018 to deliver new Air Force One planes for delivery in December 2024. That never happened. Boeing blames supply chain issues (some companies that make parts have gone out of business), changes made to the requirements of the planes and the high cost of doing the work.3 hours ago

    Embarrassing.

    Funny. The left only cares about the debt when R's are in power. The hypocrisy of the left stinks to high heaven. 

    There, I fixed it for you.    It goes both ways when you speak of financial hypocrisy of Congress.

  5. We like free things.   Congress likes to give free things.   We vote into Congress the people that will give us free things. 

    What we fail to remember is that there is no such thing as free things.  It is illusionary until the piper has to be paid.   And the piper always has to be paid, one way or another.  And it will be the poor people that wanted free things that will pay the most in pain and suffering.

  6. To be fair, you have been in favor of cutting military spending since forever.   But to be fair the other direction, you have also been in favor of raising taxes to cut the deficit as your go to since forever. 

    How about cuts to:

    Treasury

    Agriculture

    EPA

    Military

    Interior

    Commerce

    Education

    State

    Justice

    Labor

    HHS

    HUD

    Transportation

    Energy

    Veteran's Affairs

    Homeland Security.  

    Each cabinet post could lose 10% and not be in any worse shape.   Most could lose 20% and cover most of their costs.  Are you willing to do this?   If not, you are not serious about getting this under control.   There may be a need for tax increases but you always cut spending first.

  7. We really don't hate the media enough.

    Now they are saying the WH was lying to them about Biden.   They had no choice but to spread the lies they were told.  They could not look with their own eyes and see the obvious degeneration of Biden?   Obviously they could but they chose not to.  Now they hide under the WH lie theory.   They can't own anything.   They just lie and lie and then pretend to tell the truth but it is still lies.

    Total strawman argument. Nobody is proposing that. I think a slight tax increase, especially on the middle class, is very reasonable. 

    Unless you want to gut social security and medicare. 

    News flash: we have a big deficit problem. 

     

    You are for a slight tax increase every year.   It is your go to.  You never talk about spending cuts, only more taxes.   Yes we have a deficit problem because we spend more than we have.   The immediate fix for that is to spend less.   Period.   Yes we have a BIG  debt problem.   The immediate fix for that is to spend less than we bring in and pay it down.  

    Increasing taxes can help but eventually it hurts too many people.   Because they will find that taxing the rich isn't enough and it always comes to taxing the rest of us.  They tax us, we have to cinch up our belts and make our budgets work with less money.   Why is ti that the government is not required to do so?   Riddle me that Batman! 

    The way out of this is to cut spending at all levels of the government.   Period.   That is the only way to get a handle on the finances without harming the citizens.

    Federal grand jury indicts Wisconsin judge in immigration case, allowing charges to continue

    MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted a Wisconsin judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities, allowing the case against her to continue.

    The arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan escalated a clash between President Donald Trump’s administration and local authorities over the Republican’s sweeping immigration crackdown. Democrats have accused the Trump administration of trying to make a national example of Dugan to chill judicial opposition to the crackdown.

    As the Ds on here remind us, if a grand jury indicts, there is enough evidence to proceed with prosecution.
