  1. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/03/27/god-bless-the-usa-bible-trump-lee-greenwood/73118175007/ Wow! 3.5 years after trying to overturn a legitimate election through manipulation, lies and threats, this clown is getting into the Bible selling business. " Trump said. "Our Founding Fathers did a tremendous thing when they built America on Judeo-Christian values." How were those values exclusive to "judeo christianity" and did this idiot read the 1st amendment? This country was founded much more on freedom of religion (per the comstitution) than Christianity. Screw the constitution though. It means nothing to the wingers.
  2. I'll keep pounding on those those monstrous pits of waste and evil.
  3. The problem is that the Uber wealthy pay LOWER taxes than middle class due to tax shelters and other business owner loopholes. The wealthy also get all of their money from the middle class and poor so some progression is 100% appropriate. A flat tax rate will result in even more accumulation at the top and hurt the economy. The rich don't spend most of their money. They hoard it.
  4. You need to do your research. Bush made huge tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 whole raising spending on out fat bloated military and deficits skyrocketed. Yah tax revenue went up, partly due to inflation and partly due to economic growth, largely fueled by massive deficit spending. Bottom line: huge budget deficits under the Bushmaster, and then he led us into the Great Recession. Period. It's that simple.
  5. Yes. Let's be consistent. ELIMINATE ALL funding to Israel, Gaza, Ukraine AND pull troops out of foreign countries. Now we're talkin!!
  6. What a liar. Marginal tax rates decreased, particularly for the rich. Bushmaster also spent outrageously on the military. Bottom line was WAY higher deficits
  7. Since there's a thread about personal accountability I thought we should be consistent and treat people in other countries like we treat our own people. We should enable/lift Israel up by allowing them to be accountable and come up w their own funding and weapons for their genocide.
  8. How about this? Israel becomes self accountable and fully funds their own military and everything else?
  9. It's more important to give $$$ to Israel so they can murder more Palestinian kids and to our military for their imperialism, which already accounts for about half the world's military funding. Helping the old, young, sick and handicapped is not nearly as important because all they have to do is just take accountability...
  10. B.S. We all know that that is what this is about. The rich wingers just want to be richer and pay as little as possible in taxes and stick it to the poor. Cut the garbage rationalizing. That's really the main GOP agenda. Widen the wealth gap.
  11. I also know a person or two that picked themselves up by the bootstraps. That must mean that everybody will, IF WE JUST LOWER MY TAXES!!!
  12. All I ask is that we just cut to the chase and be honest re: what this is about. The rich want their taxes lowered and they'll give any justification that they can.
  13. "Personal accountability" is really just code for "I don't want to provide any help to people that are handicapped, old, addicted to drugs, etc."
  14. I have another question. Are NIL pots general (where the schools decide which sports get the money) are are they sport-specific?
  15. Long ways from that right now. Maybe if they can consistently beat the PA Hawkeyes in dual meets. Until then, not really much of a discussion.
  16. Voter suppression is something that happens nationwide (not specific to 2016) and has nothing to do with a "rigged" election or votes disappearing. Way to hit that strawman out of the park though.
  17. Big 10 just continues to dominate. That's all there is to it.
  18. I've never heard a liberal say the 2016 election was rigged and it never even crossed my mind as a reasonable possibility at any time. Probably 1/1,000th the number of trumptards that complained about 2020. Typical winger cherry picking.
  19. Typical winger. Skyrocket military spending and cut taxes at the same time.
  20. 4. George W. Bush (2001 to 2009) President George W. Bush added about $4 trillion to the U.S. national debt.18 Military spending increased to record levels under Bush, due to launching the war in Afghanistan and War on Terror in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, as well as the Iraq War in 2003. Additionally, Bush supported and signed into law significant tax cuts which contributed to increases in national debt. Bush and his administration also dealt with recessions in 2001 and 2008 (the Great Recession).2021
  21. Went up more under the Bushmaster and he didn't even have to deal w the great recession. https://www.investopedia.com/us-debt-by-president-dollar-and-percentage-7371225

  23. Many dems don't believe in God but at least they do recognize that Trump is the anti Christ.
  24. The idiot wingers insist that the 2020 election was rigged based upon basically zero evidence except the insistence of a known fraud, narcisist and criminal. Proves that they'll toe their party line no matter what, literally.
