Veterans not being cared for. Homeless & the hungry living on the streets. Seems life is better as an illegal immigrant. UP THE REVOLUTION ... This is always one of the amusing things to me - often Conservatives have grown up listening to and loving rock'n'roll and have good taste in music, including this excellent song by what was the best incarnation of the Jefferson Airplane. Yet when they try to play the songs they love at their political rallies, it's just a matter of time before the "cease and desist" letters arrive from those artists that they so love, because those same artists find the policies advocated for by the Conservatives to be so appalling they don't want their music associated with it. This is why you end up with musical luminaries like Kid Rock as the top of the bill for the Republican Party. LOL. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POTUS Trump did nothing for 4 years to address the immigration issues other a largely symbolic partial border built wall that Mexico was going to pay for. Thus, POTUS Biden had NOTHING to begin with but blamed for it. And when after almost 4 years Biden was able to get an expansive, bipartison conservative bill through the Senate to address the many immigration issues, the House MAGA at Trump's directive killed the bipartisan bill. 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 (edited) There’s a game now in play that’s worth paying attention to. MTG and a handful of others in the extreme rightwing/Fluff-Trump/Pro-Putin wing of what used to be the GOP are promising retribution against Speaker Johnson. His crime, listening to the intelligence reports and supporting America’s allies. The thing is, can the extremists deliver on their threat? It’s not a given. Johnson won decisive bi-partisan support of 360 Congressional votes. Can MTG and her fellow travelers get the votes to oust the speaker? Bring it on Marj’, strut your stuff and show us what you’ve got. What’s on the line, the speaker’s job or your credibility?! Oh and the whole MAGA in control of the GOP thing. ludi incipiant!

No sale. I have no affinity to the political regimes of any YOU have nominated. But in isolation of consideration what exactly is it that Cuba presents as big a "threat" as North Korea that deems it worthy of gross suppression while maintaining a prison camp there housing individuals without charge or acknowledgement in contravention of international law that on the other false hand of democratic principles is denied and ignored? I will waste no more effort in pointing out multiple causes to dismiss your sad delusional loyalty to a country you do not live in. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonbridgebrit Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 So, billions of dollars of aid are being sent to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. What's happening ? Tax-payers dollars in America used for foreign aid. The aid is not actually about buying food, and giving it to Africans and others, for free. The aid is about buying military hardware from US companies, and selling it at a subsidised price to Israel and Taiwan. And give it to Ukraine. Why on earth is Taiwan getting weapons, subsidised by US tax-payers ? As for Israel, all of us know, Israel has got the latest weapons from America, because it's being paid for by Americans. No way can Israel afford all the weaponry they get from America. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 On 4/21/2024 at 2:10 PM, stats said: Per Reuters: The vote on passage of the Ukraine funding was 311-112. Significantly, 112 Republicans opposed the legislation, with only 101 in support. The Israel aid was passed 366-58, had 37 Democrats and 21 Republicans in opposition. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-vote-long-awaited-95-billion-ukraine-israel-aid-package-2024-04-20/ Yes, those awful 112 republicans. May they live in infamy! So, 112 ignoble, infantile Republicans voted to endanger civilization | Strictly Opinion | richmondregister.com Quote Stoking the passion that is their excuse for pandering - the nihilism of a febrile minority in their party - a majority of House Republicans voted last Saturday to endanger civilization. Hoping to enhance their political security in their mostly safe seats, and for the infantile satisfaction of populist naughtiness (insulting a mostly fictitious “establishment”), they voted to assure Vladimir Putin’s attempt to erase a European nation. The Republican Party was founded as a noble rejection of the most consequential bad thing Congress has ever done: the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act, which authorized territories to vote slavery up or down, thereby valuing popular sovereignty more than liberty. On Saturday, the House voted 311-112 for $61 billion for Ukraine, with 112 ignoble House Republicans voting to condemn Ukraine to death, starved of such military basics as artillery shells. How many of the 112 know or care that more than half the $61 billion will fund restocking U.S. munitions inventories, as well as Ukraine’s purchases of U.S. weapons?
