Posts: 1811Bitching
Instead of the endless bitching and custard pir slinging at yur opposite Prince Clowns, why don't you try to discuss smthg productive?
Why don't you discuss policy options that could improve the situation GOING FORWARD instead of the pointless bickering about who is the biggest clown of the past / present?
Both main parties throw endless money at the rich, and refuse to help the poor. Thsi causes debt and inflation. Its a classic case of "Socialism for the Rich and Capitalism for Poor".

What do you advocate to fix it?
Seems obvious that we need to close out this proxy war with Russia and heal our butthurt pride that the USA can do jackshlt when it confronts other powerful nations.

Posts: 1044A wonderful result
Following a dark week in which the Washington swamp crossed the rubicon by weaponizing the security agencies against a former president and heralded the beginning of the end of the current American republic, the great people of Wyoming have responded magnificently.
Liz Cheney is a member of a leading swamp family. Her father was an architect of the catastrophic Zionist war on Iraq, which began the long-term decline of American wealth, power and prestige. She betrayed her position and voters to stab President Trump in the back.
The swamp wanted desperately for her to retain her seat. They threw everything at it: wall-to-wall fawning coverage of her across the fake news media; she was boosted and promoted on social media; her coffers were filled with the usual shady swamp money; and democrat voters were urged to switch registration (which they could do at only two weeks' notice) to vote for her in the primary.
They failed miserably.
It wasn't even close. Donald Trump's candidate Harriet Hageman received more than twice as many votes, 66% to 28%. The sheer scale of this utter rejection of not only the vile traitor Cheney but the vast swamp establishment machine behind her is quite magnificently breathtaking. For an incumbent to lose in such a landslide is unprecedented.
I salute and congratulate the great American people of Wyoming, who have done us all proud and given us hope and strength in our long war against the Washington swamp that hates and wants to destroy us. Trump 2024.

I don't know how Sleepy Cognitively Impaired President Brandon did it. Maybe the Repub / Winger Brandon-bashers here can explain it. Or give us a BLS link to research it.
But look at what he and his Dem policies went and did to the United Kingdom!

Posts: 1068Today we voted out a traitor
Wyoming Proud: Today I along with great Americans voted out a traitor of the state of Wyoming. Cheney is gone. No longer a democrat puppet and no longer shafting Wyoming. Harriet Hageman campaigned by visiting all of Wyoming. Cheney campaigned on trashing Trump. Cheney conceded after only 47% of the vote was in because she was already beat. Even with 5000 democrats changing to republicans this week to vote for her she was thrashed. Great day for the USA.

Posts: 657Sources Allege Trump Stole Plans Revealing White House's Thermal Exhaust Port
MAR-A-LAGO — Anonymous sources are alleging that among the documents confiscated from Trump's residence were the top secret plans to the White House. These plans are said to reveal the building's only weakness: a thermal exhaust port only 2 meters wide.
"It's impossible to overstate just how close we came to losing our fully armed and operational Washington the. See. Along with over 80,000 IRS Stormtroopers," said FBI Director Wray. "A direct hit from an AR-15 on the thermal exhaust port on the southeast corner of the White House roof could have set off a chain reaction that would destroy the entire District of Columbia."
Sources also claimed that since Trump's sons had extensive experience bulls-eyeing baby elephants in Africa that are no larger than 2 meters, it was only a matter of time before "insurrectionist rebel scum" made a move to destroy the entire facility.
"Just think — Washington the. See. Could have been destroyed!" said Director Wray. "The FBI just saved Washington the. See. !" Reports confirmed that FBI approval plunged another 12 points after the release of Wray's statement to the American public. . .
At publishing time, sources confirmed that Trump also had possession of the One Ring, which is now being safely returned to the nation's capital. . .

Posts: 1068So you agree with me
Eih, for one thing, "spending money" is what even the most self-delusional "job creator" conservative pro Repub Capitalist hides under his bed waiting for the Federal Government to do in order to pull us out of every Great Repub Recession and Massive Job Destruction that Repub policies and stewardship produce, such as the recent one Trump and his classic Repub policies and stewardship produced (sorry, Laura Ingraham, it was his classic crap Repub policies, not his constant lying and mean tweets). So, right off the bat, that is why Biden and the Dems had to do it this time. Same reason FDR had to do it. And Clinton. And Obama. Etc. Even poor people are much, much better off today for their having done.
Not sure what you wrote has to do with my question.
I guess since you can't explain why Biden policies are not helping Americans that you agree with me that spending billions on climate control and IRS agents will not help the American people. Thanks.

Waiting for brave free market Capitalists to rush in with "their" money to pull us out of these consistent Great Repub Economic Disasters is really Waiting For Godot. He ain't coming.
Beyond that it has now become abundantly obvious from all available data, record of results and easily observable reality over the past 100 years that the Dems' version of Demand-Side tax and economic philosophy and agenda is far and away superior for avoiding deep recessions and massive job losses than the Repubs' idiotic Supply-Side philosophy and agenda, both of which require tax money to be spent somewhere for the benefit of somebody.
Yeah, compared to the massive job losses in the millions, plunging GDP growth and economic disaster that follows virtually every Repub "success" in getting their idiotic Supply-Side agenda into the system, who and where the Dems then must spend tax money to pull us out of it is better for everybody in every income bracket.
Please explain how Repubs giving the already wealthy disproportionately high tax cuts will ever produce as many jobs, improve GDP growth, expand the economy and avoid deeply damaging downturns anywhere near as effectively as the Dem methods have for at least a century.
The Biden / Dem Inflation Reduction Act is another in about a half dozen Biden legislative and stewardship achievements in just 18 months that have already and will continue to recover and create the jobs with higher wages that Trump's classic Repub methods and stewardship wiped out. And that is good and far better than the Repub alternative for any income bracket you want to cite.
Trump's Pandemic-triggered supply chain destruction hyper-inflation is being tamed by Biden's stewardship and the Fed doing what every Fed must do to tame it. Thanks to Biden / Dem policies and stewardship, jobs creation is at high levels and the unemployment rate is at a 50 year low. The last time inflation was as high, thanks to Ronald Reagan's classic Repub policies and agenda no jobs were being created and the unemployment rate was skyrocketing into 10%+ every month for almost a solid year!

A better analysis is that it is a struggle between short term thinkers aka (Grasshoppers) vs. Long term thinkers aka (Ants).
Why Socialism Is Bad: The Parable Of The Ant & The Grasshopper.
During difficult economic times, Socialism becomes a popular ideology due to the increased amount of economic suffering. But there are some reasons why socialism is bad highlighted below.
When times are good, it's OK if others make a lot of money and do well, so long as you are also doing well. As soon as things turn bad, it then becomes curiously not OK if someone else continues to do well if you are struggling. Why can't we be happy for someone else? Why do we have to bring others down?
My parable: The ant worked hard all summer collecting food and preparing his home for winter. The grasshopper played all summer not doing any work.
When winter came the grasshopper had no food. No worries, the grasshopper elected a socialist leader that took away 40 percent of the ants food and gave it to the grasshopper.
The next year the ant decided that the new government would take care of him the same way so he played all summer too, as did all the other hard working producing ants.
When winter came, there was no food and they all starved to death.
This scenario played out in the America's early history. The Pilgrims started as a socialistic enterprise, which resulted in famine and starvation as the Ants realized they were working to benefit Grasshoppers and did the minimum. . . https://nevadanewsandviews.com/plymo...ith-socialism/.

To pin wokeness on communism, makes as much sense to pin wokness on Kunta Kinte, or Joan of Arc.

Looks like Biden's "too much money" in the system didn't increase USA poverty at all. Far from it.
But Repubs'/ Conservatives' political agenda did increase USA poverty. By a lot:
