[QUOTE=MiamiSammy;2585900]You're far too ignorant to have an opinion on politics and especially Critical Race Theory. Please stop spreading your bullshit.[/QUOTE]That's a very thin skinned and erudite post there Sammy boy. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
After 4 straight years of turning Infrustructure Week into a sick joke, even when he had a greater number of members of his own Party in each House of Congress than Weak Uncle Joe has now, Trump never got significant bipartisan legislation on the issue this close to passage.
And, man, is the Worst Negotiator, Biggest Snowflake and Most Pathetic Sore Loser of All Time, Donald J. Trump, whining and crying about it! lol.
[B]Senate votes to advance infrastructure bill as Dems forge ahead with economic agenda[/B]
July 28,2021.
[URL]https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/28/infrastructure-vote-senate-advances-bipartisan-bill.html?__source=androidappshare[/URL]
[QUOTE]The Senate voted to push ahead with a bipartisan infrastructure plan, which will start the process of debating and amending the bill.
The plan is set to put $550 billion in new money into transportation, utilities and broadband.
Senators voted 67-32 to advance the bill; 17 Republicans and all 50 Democrats voted yes.
Democrats aim to pass the legislation along with a separate plan to invest in child care, paid leave, education and measures to curb climate change.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;2585712]As we all know, hindsight is 20/20. Sure, Trump could have banned flights from Europe, South Korea, and Thailand at the same time he banned flights from China. He could have enacted the flight ban from China a few weeks earlier than he did too. He didn't. No world leader did. Not the liberal Macron, not the liberal Merkel, not the conservative Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore, not the Leaders of the Thai Government ect, ect and it is very safe to add that Hillary, Nancy, or Kamilla would not have banned Chinese flights earlier than Trump did either if at all.
To his credit, Trump succeeded in getting the Vaccines manufactured and ready for roll out in large numbers before any other country and that is something the American Left try as hard as they can to erase from history will never succeed in doing. Again, Macron, Merkel, the Japanese, the Koreans, the Singaporeans: NOBODY succeeded in getting the vaccine into large scale production ready for distribution as soon as the CDC and other governmental World Health Regulatory Organizations gave their approval except President Trump and therefore it is without a doubt that Hillary, Nancy, Kamilla or Uncle Joe would not have done it either. Without Trump the vaccine roll out in the USA would have resembled the roll out in Canada or Germany.
Trump succeeded where no other political leader in the world did because he is a businessman and he knew that the only way to get the pharmaceuticals into early large scale production while their vaccines were still in the testing phase before obtaining government approval was with a billion dollar government purchase guarantee in case the vaccine did not pass the test phase. It was a tremendous gamble, and the Left would have been all over Trump if the vaccines had not eventually passed certification. But Trump took that risk and he deserves all the credit along with the Pfizer and Moderna Pharmaceutical companies for developing the vaccines in record time.
[/QUOTE]Great post. You are absolutely right on everything. The left here though does not want the truth. They cannot accept the fact that Biden is destroying America. So they just go back to bashing Trump. If they can't acknowledge the border crises, surge in crime and CRT you pretty much know they are losers that hate USA and probably on welfare just waiting for Biden next handout.
Slow down fella, the Senate compromise infrastructure bill is not law yet. Your radical left amigos have linked passage of it to their 3. 5 trillion Green New Deal bill that is still pending. "House Democrats, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), have said that they will not support the bipartisan Senate deal unless the Senate also passes a $3. 5 trillion bill on other "infrastructure" through the reconciliation process. The larger bill includes "green" policies, along with left-wing social spending priorities that Republicans rejected in negotiations."
As esteemed radical left Congressman Jamaal Bowman explains, "We were sent to Congress to transform lives. If the Senate fails to support a reconciliation package that meets the moment on climate and our care economy, I can't see myself supporting their goal of passing a bipartisan package for infrastructure."
And the always wonderfully radical and racist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comments "A lot of times, "bipartisan agreements" are just as defined by who people in power agree to exclude than include."
So who knows if the bill will ever become law. I am not even sure that Nancy will allow a vote on it. But for the compromise infrastructure bill to pass the House it will need plenty House Republican Votes to make up for the radical left House members who vow to vote against it.
Stay tuned for fun and games.

Shouldn't take to much for [i]KKKanda[/i] and [i]KKKris P#e[/i] to spin this and make a mockery of the Capital Police, just like their Foxy News ([b]Fucker KKKarlson [/b] and [b]Laura [/b][I]"shutup the hell up and get back in the kitchen and cook"[/I] [b]Ingraham[/b]) and rest of the Republican gaslighting flunkies.
Looking forward to their defense of the police and "blue lives matter", seeing as how many of these so called "blue lives matter" KKKops, were rioting and killing their very own capital police in the Jan 6th, Treasonous Insurrection.
[QUOTE=Canada;2585868]I did business in China for 15 years. I imported steel from China to USA for 10 years. Trump put 10% duties on 85% of China imports and 25% on some flat steel products. First thin China government did was to devalue their currency by 10% This made the products 10% cheaper and the USA companies paid 10% duty. USA buyers paid same amount for their steel and China manufacturers lost 10% of their profit. This hurt China and benefits the USA. I know because I was one of the USA companies purchasing.
This money was used to help the farmers because China retaliated by cutting imports of farmers products. So yes China paid the farmers. Not USA tax payers. Not the case with Biden giveaways though.[/QUOTE]Who paid import duties? American business, that's who. You said that above.
Which arm of the federal government collected those duties? The USCBP, that's who. You didn't say that but you know that's true too.
Once the money leaves the tariff-paying company and is collected by US Customs, it becomes "taxpayer money". Even the most doltish person understands that simple point.
The fact that Chinese companies lost profit means squat. Did any of those "lost profits" come into America?
The only thing that matters is that your initial comment that that dump's payments to farmers wasn't taxpayer money is patently false as I have demonstrated twice! But I get where you're going. You are undoubtedly convinced that Mexico paid for the wall.
In all probability, Trump pulled this horrifically disastrous stunt because Obama and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were involved in further developing that CDC pandemic prevention monitoring program in China.
[B]Trump administration ended pandemic early-warning program to detect coronaviruses[/B]
April 2, 2020.

[QUOTE]Two months before the novel coronavirus is thought to have begun its deadly advance in Wuhan, China, the Trump administration ended a $200-million pandemic early-warning program aimed at training scientists in China and other countries to detect and respond to such a threat.
The project, launched by the U.S. Agency for International Development in 2009, identified 1,200 different viruses that had the potential to erupt into pandemics, including more than 160 novel coronaviruses. The initiative, called PREDICT, also trained and supported staff in 60 foreign laboratories including the Wuhan lab that identified SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19.[/QUOTE]Luckily, another President had already laid the groundwork and drew the roadmap on producing vaccines to deal with worldwide health crises like Trump's Pandemic at "warp speed."
[B]Obama's science advisors outline plan for faster pandemic vaccine[/B]
Aug. 19, 2020.
[URL]https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2010/08/obamas-science-advisors-outline-plan-faster-pandemic-vaccine[/URL]
[quote]Aug 19, 2010 (CIDRAP News) In light of vaccine production problems that delayed the delivery of the pandemic H1 N1 vaccine, a report by President Barack Obama's science advisers released today said targeted investments in five specific areas could trim the time needed to quickly produce enough to protect the nation by weeks or months.
The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) said if federal officials follow the roadmap, within 1 to 3 years the country will be in a better position to more quickly speed production of a pandemic vaccine as well as medical countermeasures against other diseases or bioterrorism attacks. The five key areas, as well as longer-term goals, are included in an 87-page report that appears on the PCAST Web site. [/quote].
I chime in from time to time when I read logical fallacies by the right wing sex addicts here, calling me a Democrat. Amerika has but one religion, and that is capitalism. Those who feel that they are causing heat," sticking it to liberals, snowflakes, libtards" are tiny repetitive crybabies taking a break from writing previous Penthouse Letters to ISG. I ask for the "beef", something substantive to prove their point and read only more rabid spewing of generalizations. Yes, Fat Nixon took on China for its theft of intellectual property etc. But in a jingoistic and uncoordinated way. Let common sense prevail.

Stay tuned for fun and games.[/QUOTE]That is why I said Trump's infrastructure legislation never "got this close to passage." Snowflake Repubs are perfectly apt to pull their votes for crititcal legislation even as late as the last minutes on the day the vote is taken, if anyone says anything that hurts their widdow feefees.
As a handful of House Repubs did on September 29, 2008, reversing their Yes votes to pass the TARP bill to No at the very last minute and thereby triggering the easily predictable resultant panic selloff in the stock market and plunging worldwide economies into paralyses, otherwise known as The Great Repub Crash and Recession of 2008. And that Great Repub Crash and Recession did not begin to reverse course until Obama-Biden, Pelosi, Reid, the Dems and NO Repubs passed the American Recovery and Re-investment Act of 2009.
Then, of course, what followed was one of the longest USA economic recoveries and expansions, month over month jobs creation and Stock Market Bull Runs of all time.
In fact, the one thing about this next significant economic legislation Biden and the Dems have been working on that worries me about its potential effectiveness to produce stallar results is that some Repubs are showing signs of supporting it with their votes.
Clinton and his Dems' Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 and Obama and his Dems' American Recovery and Re-investment Act of 2009 were two of the greatest USA economic expansion, USA jobs creation and Stock Market Bull Run-producing pieces of legislation ever passed and neither of them got a single Repub vote. Naturally.

[QUOTE=Canada;2585864]Nobody is taking this Pelosi dog and pony show seriously. Everyone knows it is a sham.[/QUOTE]Where did I hear something like that?
Well, right here, I think (I censored a certain word).
Written Statement of Harry A. Dunn Private First Class USA Capitol Police.
Hearing Before the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
USA House of Representatives.
January 27,2021.
[QUOTE]More and more insurrectionists were pouring into the area by the Speakers Lobby near the Rotunda, some wearing MAGA hats and shirts that said Trump 2020. I told them to leave the Capitol, and in response, they yelled back: No, no, man, this is our house! President Trump invited us here! Were here to stop the steal! Joe Biden is not the President! [b]Nobody voted for Joe Biden![/b]
I am a law enforcement officer, and I keep politics out of my job. But in this circumstance, I responded: Well, I voted for Joe Biden. Does my vote not count? Am I nobody?
That prompted a torrent of racial epithets. One woman in a pink MAGA shirt yelled, You hear that, guys, this n***** voted for Joe Biden! Then the crowd, perhaps around twenty
people, joined in, screaming Boo! Fucking N*****!
No one had ever ever -- called me a n***** while wearing the uniform of a Capitol Police officer. In the days following the attempted insurrection, other black officers shared with
me their own stories of racial abuse on January 6. One officer told me he had never, in his entire forty years of life, been called a n***** to his face, and that that streak ended on January 6.
[/QUOTE]I have some news for you.
You are not "EVERYONE," and your opponents are not "NO ONE" as you allowed yourself to believe in your delusional fantasies. Your opponents are the majority of grown up Americans who kicked your cult leader to the curb because, guess what, they know better.
[QUOTE=Canada;2586003]The left here though does not want the truth. <snip> If they can't acknowledge the border crises, surge in crime and CRT you pretty much know they are losers that hate USA and probably on welfare just waiting for Biden next handout.[/QUOTE]You are absolutely correct. There is no point in engaging with people who are so lost that they can not acknowledge the truth even when it is standing right in front of them. There are a few real haters on this web site. These guys are obsessed with spreading Leftist propaganda, BLM-Atifia talking points, and attacking anyone who disagrees with their ideology. They never post about girls and having a good time. The internet is crawling with these low life reptiles from both sides of the political spectrum because it tends to bring out the worst in people.
But a reckoning is coming. I know a lot of people in the real world especially college educated, 30 to 40 year old, affluent women who voted for Uncle Joe because they disliked Trump's abrasive personality even though they appreciated his accomplishments in office. These suburban independent and in many cases classically liberal women most certainly did not vote for this radical, neo Marxist, racist agenda which now dominates the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party in the House and Senate. The radicals overplayed their hands, Uncle Joe has no idea what is going on, and the Left is getting more and more desperate as 2022 nears. Look out for a lot more fireworks and civil strife before the Left are defeated in the next election.
Sammy Boy, you need to get laid.
