No, to the Chinese. That's why he's sharply restricted their access to high tech stuff because he and Hunter are secretly in their pay. They're not a patch on their heroic predecessor who relaxed restrictions on trade with China in return for a Chinese promise to buy lots of stuff from the USA. A promise that the Chinese never kept. What a shocker that was!

Why is it too late now? What political reason would stand in its way? The only one I can think of is that politically it's better for the Democrats to keep having the Supreme Court as an issue in elections.

Maybe you think Republican proposals for cutting back on Social Security and Medicare (but calling it strengthening them) aren't big policies, but I think most voters would disagree.

If there's one thing that pulls overwhelmingly show it's that American support strong government intervention to promote renewable energy. Another thing they strongly support is giving Medicare the ability to negotiate directly with big pharma. So I too hope that the Republicans try to appeal the inflation reduction act.

Which is why right wing politicians and commentators were so enthusiastic about the results in the House? What's the weather like in the alternative universe you inhabit?

Can you list some of the sensible legislation that Republicans have proposed? I see that Rick Scott proposed cutting back on Medicare and social security. In fact he said they should be subject to scrutiny for renewal every 5 years. Just one of many proposals by Republicans to cut back on entitlements.

And he is every right to slash pay too. What's your point? This isn't about legality.

Never trust a librarian.

What makes your comment so ludicrous is that for months the National Archives attempted to retrieve the documents without inviting the assistance of the justice department. All Trump had to do was return the documents and that would have been the end of it.

In his speech Trump lied about the Afghanistan Withdrawal, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Tariffs on China, Sea Level Rise, Presidential Records, Gasoline Prices, Deportations, Finishing the Border Wall, etc... https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/15/politics/fact-check-trump-announcement-speech-2024

Where do you come up with this B.S.? The signing of just three enormous bills—the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, the roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law, and this summer’s climate-and-health spending bill—made Biden’s first two years among the most productive of any president in the past half century. ..The politically named Inflation Reduction Act is actually the largest climate bill in U.S. history and allows Medicare to negotiate the prices of certain prescription drugs for the first time. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2022/11/biden-2022-midterms-policy-record-approval/671941/

Are you suffering under the delusion that Russia is anything but a dictatorship?

Let's see if this is the start of a trend. China is beginning to gradually relax the rules but not fast enough. This kind of blind foolishness is what happens when a megalomaniac takes charge of a country.

It would take an exceptionally ungifted or extremely young investor to lose half their savings in less than 2 years.

And the reason it was fired is because a Russian missile was fired at unoccupied Ukraine. So Putin doesn't just have a general responsibility for the war, he's responsible for that Russian missile being fired.

Whether Woodward is obsessed or not, you haven't answered whether you think he's lying. Keep in mind that he has released all the tapes of his interviews with Trump.

It did them plenty of good. Workers continue to be screwed by the Supreme Court and corporate interests promoted. You ever hear of the phrase "follow the money"?

Really? Are you 23 years old and just began investing a year ago? Or have you invested in cryptocurrency? Here's how the S&P 500 has done over the last 40 years. Anyway, your achievement is kind of amazing. You definitely have a gift of sorts.

What rgraham and Denim are not used to is a President who can be forthright and honest and not perpetuate empty rumors. What Biden did is actually very creditable. He didn't falsely ascribe this incident to the Russians. He forthrightly squelched rumors and speculation to the contrary. There's a lesson in this for Putin and his mini-me, Donald Trump. Not one that they're capable of absorbing, though.

You'll get there in time.

For that matter, what part of that article offered by vandeventer contradicts the claim that greenhouse gas emissions are declining for the past 4 quarters? Irrelevant much?

It's a pity they don't make glasses for people who see things that aren't there.

Here's one that I'd like to see Trump apologists explain away. The apologists who believe that Trump was draining the swamp: Trump frees former aides from ethics pledge, lobbying ban President Donald Trump, in one of his final acts of office, released current and former members of his administration from the terms of their ethics pledge, which included a five-year ban on lobbying their former agencies. The ethics pledge was outlined in one of Trump's first executive orders, signed on Jan. 28, 2017, as part of his campaign pledge to "drain the swamp." It required Trump's political appointees to agree to the lobbying ban, as well as pledge not to undertake work that would require them to register as a "foreign agent" after leaving government. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-frees-former-aides-from-ethics-pledge-lobbying-ban

But as Ozimoron explained, he did not say that Biden blindly followed advice. He said it's Trump who's the outlier. The responsible leaders listen to expert advisers. Since when does "listen" mean "blindly obey". You've got nothing.
