Be wary of the Toned-Down Repub 12 months out
[QUOTE=Spidy;2867187]EihTooms, now your scaring me!
Your parody and impression of a [b]"Chicken Little" Republican[/b] ([i]"...ahh the sky is falling!"[/i]), was just too scary good. For a split second there, I [u]almost[/u], mistook you for a Republican! [i]([b]blasphemy,[/b] I know...kkkk!).[/i]
But in all honesty, you'd think by now, Repubs would have figured out, Americans don't want, gov't in their bedrooms. Or telling parents what to do with their own children. These "culture wars", "bedroom" and "parental rights" issues are very much proving to be a non-starter, for Repubs.
Notice how Gov. Ron de Santis, has toned-down his "woke" rhetoric, to an imperceptible low. Or how Gov. Youngkin, lost both Houses in Virginia, because he decided to rule on [b]women 'bodily autonomy'[/b], "...telling women a 15-week abortion ban was reasonable!". And his NEXT trick, was to sell it too the rest of country, in a bid to enter the Republican Primary for the US Presidency. This political maneuver (or manure), I think should be called the "Youngkin belly flop".
Also note, Repub candidate for Kentucky Governor, Daniel Cameron, was [b]Moscow Mitch's,[/b] groomed man-boy for the governorship. Could Moscow Mitch, be losing his touch on Kentucky? Is this yet another sign, that "moderate" Repubs are a dying breed?[/QUOTE]As we enter the last 12 months before the next presidential election, bare in mind this is the time Repub candidates typically "tone-down" the sucker social issue stance they had been taking in order to get that dumb hillbilly entitlement checks money donations to see how big of a war chest they can bamboozle out of their sucker base for the run.
From here on most of the Repub candidates who have a shot at the presidency and Congress will start sounding for all the world like they could be mistaken for a reasonable Dem. Which is precisely the mistake they need the American electorate to make come election time given their Party's historic horrific economic and national security results.
And the recent election results, in fact virtually every election result since 2016 (absent the Repub-rigged Electoral College appointment of Trump) has been a wake up call for why they need to pretend to be an Earthling, a Democratic Earthling at that, before the next presidential election.
But never forget they are only pretending in order to muddy the waters about the consistently stark contrast in actual results for Dems vs Repubs after Repubs get elected and begin their inevitable and determined March to the next Great Repub Depression, Great Repub Recession, Massive Repub Jobs Destruction and whatever other "Once in 100 Years" Disaster they can facilitate and produce.

Repub Trump crippled international mongering. Now the GOP wants to cripple it more.
[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2867186]"Not a word of that was supposed to be funny. It doesn't take $877 billion a year to protect our borders. That's what the USA spends on the military annually. I don't believe the $877 billion includes much if any of the $75 billion the US has spent on Ukraine. And it certainly doesn't include the additional $60 billion for Ukraine that Congress will probably soon authorize. Or the $14.5 billion we'll be sending to Israel.
And no, the bastards shouldn't be spending our hard earned money prosecuting victimless crimes like the "high end brothel network" either.
OK, I really don't know. If the Republicans nominate anyone besides Trump and Biden's the Democratic nominee, I believe the Republican wins. And if Trump runs against any Democrat except Biden, I think the Democrat wins. Neither of the two old men are popular. ".
[URL]https://www.wcvb.com/article/federal-brothel-case-millions-dollars/45790565[/URL][/QUOTE]Now that you have posted a couple of links about that Boston brothel, its owners and some customers getting busted, whatever that has to do with American Politics and the posts you were quoting and responding to which you have not mentioned, perhaps it is time to mention how your beloved anti Sex For Pleasure Repubs are trying very hard to pull a "defund the prevention" bit regarding the spread of HIV the same as your lord and savior pulled to allow the development and creation of Trump's Pandemic.
And you well know how those classic Repub "defunding" missions did and still would cripple international mongering in ways I don't think made anyone on this site particularly happy. LOL.
Please note, this Republican mission to facilitate a greater spread of HIV for anyone who dares to engage in Sex For Pleasure outside of a 100% monogamous relationship PRE-DATES the 100% House Repub vote to elect ChristoFacist Mike Johnson as their Squeaker of the Repub Pink Tinkle House Majority.

Biden supported UAW Union tide, lifts all boats...
[QUOTE=Tiny 12;2866791]I don't know much about the UAW negotiations, so maybe you can correct any misconceptions that I may have.
Biden's efforts probably had "0" effect on the outcome of the negotiations. He just wants to take credit, because he views himself as a champion of the union man. This is despite the fact that he spent almost his entire career in politics [b]and probably hasn't done an honest days work during his lifetime. [/b][/QUOTE] And yet that's somehow, that's still more work than Trump will ever do in several lifetimes, even if Trump were reincarnated as a mule, several times over.
[QUOTE=Tiny 12;2866791]From Google, I'm seeing that GM's offer to the UAW in September would have cost GM $150,000 per worker per year in wages and benefits. Presumably the actual amount after further negotiations is higher. Add on a second wage earner's salary, and a typical union family is perhaps making over $200,000 per year. This makes GM union plants uncompetitive in export
markets, not to say that they weren't already. And how's the working man who's not a member of the UAW supposed to afford a new car? [/QUOTE] You could be right about how "uncompetitive", they'll become? But I'm sure that won't stop CEOs from taking ever larger salaries...right?
How men, women and families budget their household incomes, remains a their own private affair. Individuals and families, will figure their priorities and allocate said budget accordingly, no matter their allocated jobs and/or salaries/wages.
[QUOTE=Tiny 12;2866791]Biden's regulations and tax subsidies to car owners, if not changed, will make it where many can't afford a new vehicle. Electric cars cost more. Cars built with $150,000/worker/year wages cost more. And the working man who's pulling down say $60,000 a year isn't going to get much benefit from the electric vehicle tax credits. Higher new car prices will drag up used car prices. [/QUOTE]More affordable EVs are coming and quite frankly, I don't mind seeing other US Energy sectors getting tax subsidies, other than the oil and gas industry, that have had such subsidies for decades.
But, who says it has to be a new ICE car or new EV? Used and previously owned cars, still run, don't they? Take the bus? Bicycle/E-bike? Heard of rideshare?
[QUOTE=Tiny 12;2866791]Now yes, maybe the ridiculously-named Inflation Reduction Act's subsidies to car companies like GM may help a little. But government is taking money out of the pocket of the taxpayer and adding to deficits to do that. Who are the beneficiaries of this pork? Well, relatively well off UAW workers and other auto company employees (like the CEO's) and auto company shareholders. Our trading partners will respond to the unfair subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act, which will adversely affect other American businesses. Maybe they put big tariffs on soybeans or Boeing aircraft for example.[/QUOTE]
Despite your cynical criticism of the IRA, you fail to realize that the Biden support for unions like the UAW agreement for working class Americans, is ultimately strengthening America and is [i]"...the tide that raises all boats"[/i]

Government needs more tax revenue
[I]Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and other Democratic senators, wrote their own letter to the IRS this week that advised the agency to rebuff industry complaints. The lawmakers chief concern was that the rules as proposed will take too long to go into force, which would disadvantage law-abiding Americans and cause the federal government to lose out on billions of dollars in tax revenue. Impose the rule as swiftly as possible, the senators suggested.[/I]

Sounds like you resent them for not accepting slave wages ala the CCP pays? 100 k isn't much better.
I seriously doubt most UAW workers have their wives working by their sides, I'm sure there are a couple butch like lesbians working there.
So you would prefer an international race to the bottom? Hunger Games for all.
German Automakers pay Germans very well and they don't have any issues being competitive.
If a man is making 100 k in America these days hes lucky if he can afford a shitty apartment let along support a family and buy a nice house even the very few with both making 200 k combined.
How many have husband and wife working there? Probably less than 1%.
This piece of shit didn't "make" 4. 1 billion last year, he stole that money.
And belongs in prison!!
This piece of shit lived right down the street from me and some savages tried to carjack his security detail (off duty chgo cops) outside his penthouse several months back.
And that really scared the pussy, so he moved to Miami.
