You’ve turned into another hysterical liberal. Trump is better than Biden and every other ass wipe Democrat politician on fiscal issues.
Ukraine Aid
- Thread starter twenty02
- Start date
If he separates the votes out…I am not sure what that does for him…it will be interesting to watch some of the more pro-Russian voices explain why they voted against military aid to Ukraine, which desperately needs it, but in favor of aid to Israel, which could easily pay its own way
Maybe. But with all the fighting in Ukraine, and none in Russia, I think this is a fools errand.
I don’t see an end with a Russian defeat.
Just as it would be interesting to see who would vote against a border bill.
You don't have to be pro-Russia to vote against aid to Ukraine. Some people don't want the US involved in more wars. I don't agree, in this case, but people can be anti-aid to Ukraine without loving Putin.
Fiscal issues, the debt?
U.S. Debt by President: Dollar and Percentage
The national debt has increased under most U.S. presidents. Here is how much each president's time in office added to the U.S. debt by percentage and dollar amounts.
| Donald Trump | $6,700,491,178,561.60 | 33.1% 33.1% 33.1% |

| Joe Biden | $2,499,993,043,258.10 | 8.8% 8.8% 8.8% |

I was an SAP consultant (3rd party) for about 18 years. SAP took so many companies for millions of dollars, only to have guys like us modify it to specific needs - so much for standard software.
Huge scam. Like what the Dems are running with Biden.
If they vote against both Ukrainian aid and Israeli aid then I understand. But voting for aid to Israel and not to Ukraine doesn’t make sense.
Anyway…there are sufficient votes for a successful discharge petition should Johnson try to bottle the bill up
Well, according to the link above, the USA became #1 in 2023, after being a somewhat distant 3rd in 2022. So your assertion of the USA "taking the foot off the gas" under Biden seems WRONG.
That's not the point. The GOP in Congress only have a fiscal backbone when a Dem is in the WH.
When a Republican is in the WH they basically just rubber stamp what the President wants (as do Dems).... And since Trump has no interest in cutting spending or doing a damn thing about the deficit.... It's a very dangerous combination. At least now they pretend to care.... If he wins they'll forget all about the issue for 4 years.
Disingenuous and dumb. No need to behave like Hickory.Fiscal issues, the debt?

This stuff doesn’t happen overnight. The increase is largely a result from Trump era investments. Biden has ”temporally” halted new facilities because we have too many hurricanes and tornadoes.
"U.S. record production was driven by two factors: the return of Freeport LNG to full service, which added 6 MT and the full-year output of Venture Global LNG's Calcasieu Pass facility that added 3 MT more than in 2022," Munton said.
There is a certain portion of Republican voters who would have been Ted Kennedy Democrats in the 80s….actually, maybe they were

WE GOTTA CUT SPENDING!!!
If Ukraine's so damn important, then let’s eliminate all the green subsidies, migrant support, and student loan forgiveness to show people how important Ukraine is.
WSJ:
Definitely a massive realignment going on.
Didn't think I'd see the day where a GOP candidate would be attacked in the primary for promoting entitlement reform.
Getting hard to fit everyone in two camps. Need more parties system reform and/or people are going to have to start learning to compromise on bigger intraparty shit
WTF are you talking about? I didn't once talk about deploying the military inside the US. You somehow inferred that and if you did you must be in Biden-like cognitive decline. I said specifically that an insurrection would be put down immediately. I didn't say the military would do it. That wouldn't be necessary. Local law enforcement would do it. I think Andy and Barney of Mayberry would be enough.
That’s one way of trying to get there. I’ll just go with what happened. Biden added 4 trillion in spending in 2021 alone. None of those bills would have passed if Trump was President.
I’ve posted similar information numerous times. Nobody gives a shit. Buy Bitcoin and chill. It would be a great gift for your grandkids.

Biden got played by the far left progressives and F’d America with prices. That’s his legacy. That act alone is enough to run him out of office. 50 years in office and he had no ideas of his own.
What worries me is trump may have been no better. He was awfully enamored with seeing his name on checks.
From trump to fauci to Harris to stay at home Pete to Biden we had two years of really, really poor governance
Recall Trump throwing a fit that there weren't $2k checks going out to everyone at the end of 2020?
Trump backs down, signs stimulus package
A government shutdown was averted after the president approved the Covid relief package and annual spending bill.

That is fine since he is a republican.
In my mind, most of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party that existed in the 80s no longer exists. Both parties controlled by various factions/persons that are unwilling to compromise or even reason.
Now we have people involved in politics that have no business being involved in politics (again both sides). Young women in Congress throwing around the phrase "genocide" on a constant basis who truly have no understanding of what it means. Milosevec's pogrom came the closest to mirroring Nazi Germany. I'm disturbed by the name calling. Making fun of Nikki Haley's dress and commenting upon "where's Nikki's husband". There's a lot to dislike MAGA controls the Republican party and the left is too concerned with placating EVERYTHING that AOC, et al want.
The funny thing is, each of these people represents both democrats and republicans in their district, etc. If you assume that democracy is majority ruled tempered by minority rights (i.e., a democratic republic)--there ought to be wayyyyy more room for compromise, but we don't see it at all anymore. A shame.
The problem with more parties is the voting blocks. It isn't like European systems where they can form coalitions. More parties might be disastrous. Unfortunately, it is up to us voters to vote out the scoundrels.....but even then, I'm not so sure it can ever be effectuated anymore.
Co-sign. Ugh. I hold media responsible in significant part. Of course we have ourselves but….
That was repugnant. No better campaign move though than a $2k check with your name at the bottom showing up at every household in America.Recall Trump throwing a fit that there weren't $2k checks going out to everyone at the end of 2020?

I agree.
I disagree. Trump wouldn’t have passed them all. Even if he wanted to, Democrats would have told him to f#ck off. The only one that would have had a chance is the infrastructure bill in my opinion
6:15 mark. I JUST GOT THIS MONEY!!

Interesting. I mostly blame soccer.
(and I petition @Univee2 to waive the KC fine as I was in no way speaking positively about the sport that shall not be spoken.)
You just demonstrated that you're no less a pudding brain than your uncle Joe.
Local law enforcement?
The parties get along great. They just keep spending and growing government. There is plenty of media noise that the parties don’t compromise, but they always come together in the end to spend more money.
You blame the beautiful game but ignore the universal DH rule passed in 2022?
for shame.
That doesn’t really answer Murt’s question Marv.Have you compared our GDP to everyone else that is giving? I bet Bill Gates has paid more taxes than you, so?
Putin has designs on more than Ukraine. He has attacked Georgia, South Ossetia, Ukraine (twice), and is waging a war in Moldova. He has more plans:
Putin creating conditions to invade NATO-aligned Baltic states, ISW analysis
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin continues to show that Russia is not interested in serious peace negotiations with Ukraine and remains steadfast in its aggressive intentions towards the Baltic countries, according to a new report from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) dated Jan. 16.news.yahoo.com
Interesting that ISW believes he wants to destabilize NATO with these attacks. Hmm.

When I become Commissioner, the DH will be gone. Each MLB team can have no more than 8 pitchers on the staff, 4 being starters, 4 being relief pitchers.
