I wish someone could name just one good thing Biden has done for us? Just one that has had a positive effect! So far it has been nothing but disaster after disaster with Biden.
Reduced unemployment
Supported Transgender servicepeople
Reversed Trump-era policies on travel restrictions on people from a number of Muslim-majority countries
Ended family separation policy and created a task force to reunite families separated at the border.
Still waiting for just 1 good thing Biden has done for us!

What improvement are bridges and roads getting? There was no vaccine during Trump years... no cure. The economy had to be shut down same as everywhere in the world in 2020. Oh yes, the pull-out from Afghanistan was done so well! The Taliban thank Biden... Give me a break will you... Biden has never had and will never have clue, hell he can't even follow a teleprompter without fucking up...

I did not like Trump however some things he did help our nation. Biden on the other hand is a disaster. I think those that give Biden the benefit of doubt are either really dumb or very well off that the inflation and what is happening does not affect them...

What is worse is Biden has no plan to fix anything. I heard Biden's plan when the Covid ban is to speed up the processing of illegals and get them into the US as fast as possible, warp speed!

Really, where have you been while Republicans voted down everything put forth to help the USA
Pray tell, what did Republicans vote down? During Trump's term Democrats were trying to get passed all sorts of liberal agendas passed. Biden became president and started implementing those liberal agendas and now look what happened... Record high inflation, millions of illegals crossing our border... just great! How do liberals plan to feed all the immigrants pouring into the US when Americans themselves are finding it difficult to put food on their plates!
Build Back Better... Brillant spend more money causing inflation to reach double digits... Democrats won't have to be concerned much longer. The way it is now if the mid-term election was held today not only would Republicans control the House all of Congress with a whopping majority.
Some of it is what Biden
hasn't done. For example:
- He hasn't illegally withheld critical aid to Ukraine in a blatant effort to extort Zelensky into saying he had dirt on his political opponent.
- He hasn't attacked the free press as the enemy of the people, thereby undermining confidence in one of our most important democratic institutions.
- He hasn't said that the only way Democrats can lose elections is if the voting is rigged, thereby undermining confidence in another of our most important democratic institutions.
- He hasn't obstructed any investigations into his misconduct. (Notably, there haven't needed to be any such investigations in the first place.)
- He hasn't agreed with Putin over our own intelligence agencies on important national security issues.
- He hasn't written any love letters to any dictators.
name a few things that Biden did to cause inflation, and the keystone pipeline isn't one of them. would not of been completed. oil was going to be shipped to other countries not used here.

On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (Public Law 117-58, also known as the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Law") into law. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and economy in our Nation's history. It provides $550 billion over fiscal years 2022 through 2026 in new Federal investment in infrastructure, including in
ROADS, BRIDGES, and mass transit, water infrastructure, resilience, and broadband.

When Biden came into office a lot of people were hurting financially. Many of those people would have loved to have been on a
fixed income having money they could count on. A government pension or solvent retirement. The Trump tax cuts were not helping most people.
Having income that is predictable and stable is something a lot of people lost during Covid shut downs.
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, also called the COVID-19 Stimulus Package, saved a lot of people financially. It stimulated the economy, however it has contributed to inflation.
So it all depends on one's personal situation. Stimulus checks helped some to buy food for their families and others to buy some pussy.
Yes my steaks for grilling and my bacon cost more now. However, I thank my God everyday that I'm not among those in the world starving because of the actions of some political leaders.
I am on a fixed income of 1,156 state retirement and 960 SSI... I am really well off... At least during Trump I had a little to save, now I have nothing left over to save. I paid my bills and rent during the shutdown. I had no extended unemployment payments or any help other than the stimulus checks. Covid was not Trump's fault. No matter who was President would not have made any difference to the outcome! Why do Democrats bring Trump into the discussion as if what Trump did or did not do justifies and excuses what Biden is doing? Today, Biden is in the hot seat! Democrats wanted Biden a dismal failure, and now they got him, trying to defend Biden is like beating a dead horse! Democrats will pay the price in the November election when Republicans take full control of Congress... I can hardly wait for Jan 2023 to hear who Democrats will blame for them losing the election and congress to Republicans.
At least you could afford steaks for grilling I couldn't back in 2020 and now I can't afford hamburger meat... Mostly chicken which cost has increased as well.
And you know that 2022 5.9% SSI cola increase. Medicare payment increased and inflation wiped that out...
Yes I did see a decrease in my income tax after Trump lowered the tax rates.... and so did many others.

Funny, according to Bloomberg prices on beef went UP with Trump: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/beef-prices-hit-record-with-trump-ordering-plants-to-stay-open-1.1428803
Quote from: Zep on Apr 18, 2022, 04:45 PMCome on Hobby, every president loses seats in the mid terms. Only once they did not and that was Bush right after 911. Daily, you tell us it's just shocking that it's happening to Biden.. Lol. Yup. He may lose seats, may lose control of the house and senate.
If you think full gridlock is good, then it's great for you. I personally like a president and a congress to accomplish the needs of the people but that's just me.
At least we will get 2 years to see how much the Republicans can accomplish. Looking forward to their healthcare plan. All the bills they will push through to drop the price of oil and get rid of inflation. What a great opportunity for them!
If gridlock will stop Biden from doing any more damage I am all in! Republicans take over Congress and impeach Biden and Harris, the new speaker of the house will become POTUS and that could be Trump if the Republican lead house selects Trump as speaker... Now should Trump become POTUS again and finish out Biden's term then Trump can run for another 4 years and if reelected means you guys will have Trump for 6 years... How about that sports fans? Woudn't that be something...
the price of beef in the desert is high
Quote from: Danno on Apr 18, 2022, 10:26 PMthe price of beef in the desert is high
It's the same price as just about anywhere, way too expensive for me, has to be trucked in unless you live next door to the slaughterhouse. All farm crops are harvested and sold to brokers who ship the meat or produce to a centralized location and then redistributed from there. Beef might go to a slaughterhouse say in Fresno or Stockton then the beef is shipped out where it is redistributed to the market buyers' distribution centers, then redistributed again to the stores, or something like this....

Oh, so Democrats don't want to do away with guns, just fear-mongering by Republicans... go sell bullshit someplace else! We still have guns because Republicans had enough votes to stop Democrats... No fear-mongering... Democrats have tried to and continue to present legislation to eliminate guns or to put controls that would do about the same. There is no debate about this...it is fact.

This is ridiculous. The most important Supreme Court precedent, fucked up as it is, guarantees individuals the right to have guns at home for self-protection. That's not going to change. The only question is whether the gun nuts will agree to a few common-sense reforms that won't even infringe on the rights that have been clearly established.

The right to bear arms does not define when or where citizens can exercise their right nor restrict it to only at home. The right to bear arms is as much a right as freedom of speech, and religion. Nor does the amendment state that states have the right to regulate and control who can own guns. In order to establish regulations to control gun firearms, the amendment needs to be changed. Democrats have wanted to make changes from banning guns altogether to restriction of sales. Nevada has open loaded carry, I have no issues with this. I am pretty certain our founders debated who could own guns and when are where but chose to leave it as the right to bear arms without restrictions. Most likely founders realized regulating a right is no right at all. Regulating freedom is not freedom!
For a historical perspective on "founding fathers" view on the 2nd amendment, see the Whiskey Rebellion which was a 1794 uprising of farmers and distillers in western Pennsylvania in protest of a whiskey tax enacted by the federal government.
President Washington himself gave orders to form a militia of 13,000 men to put down the Whiskey Rebellion. His words later were ".....this is how a "well-regulated Militia" should be used to serve the government in maintaining a strong "security" in each state, as the Second Amendment of The Bill of Rights intended."

As you stated this is as the second amendment of the bill of rights intended is your preception not everyone's. Washington was stating this from a military perspective, not as a regular citizen which the amendment was meant to protect. If the founders intended for only the militia to bear arms they would have said so. Founders did not want a only armed militia that could over through and take control of our government, they saw the wisdom in the right for everyone to have the right to bear arms. A well-formed militia could be a group of armed citizens putting down an uprising to overthrow the government of towns and states. The bill of rights was passed to protect and ensure individuals' rights and freedoms from an abusive, intrusive, government at any level of government.
No, I didn't advance my perspective. You brought in the founding fathers.
I gave you the intent as expressed by The Founding Father, George Washington.

Individuals don't get to interpret the meaning of the words of the Constitution in a vacuum. Where a dispute arises, the Courts decide what those words mean. Ultimately, of course, the Supreme Court has the final say, and once they've made their holdings we don't get to fall back on our own amateur interpretations.
In 2008 the Supreme Court resolved certain issues with respect to gun laws in D.C. Specifically, the court said the government can't ban handguns in people's homes intended for self-defense. But the court also noted that existing laws regulating guns weren't affected by their decision.

I simply pointed out that this claim was factually incorrect, as the Supreme Court has let stand plenty of regulations to control firearms despite having every opportunity to invalidate them.
