[Bumblebrain again promises that the feds spending an extra $5T this decade under its BBB plan will be the best thing for the economy since "it will cost nothing" by taxing the bejeezus out of everyone in sight.  You really didn't believe that "only those making over $400K" did you?  What is it that makes all leftwingers terminally stupid about economics and as to how humans respond to armed confiscation?  Perhaps that mental deficiency is a prerequisite for becoming a leftwinger.  gjr]

    That Emery TDS is working overtime.
    Biden is neck deep in the shithouse. DEMS are giving their “I’m outta here” resignations to queen Nan. Trump is 5 and 0 as king maker. Every endorsement has come out on top.
    ALL the LIBS (yup, you too Embot) are crapping diamonds in fear of Trump running.
    Biden has taken a great accomplishment and turned it into a 3RD world shithole. The rule of law is nonexistent.
    The courts have ruled “remain in MEX” stands. Biden has fuck you to the courts and still allow hundreds of thousands of illegals to cross and scatter from shore to shore.
    So Embot, you just keep living in the past. Sucks to be you.

    ‘Working class won big under Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’
    “Data from the IRS show that President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, helped lower- and middle-income households the most, according to a report by the Heartland Institute. Moreover, it led to “lower average income tax rates for taxpayers in every income bracket.” The information was based on a comparison of tax returns between 2017 to 2018, the first year the law went into effect.”

    Four Months After Withdrawal, Biden Admin Doesn’t Know Identities of Afghan Refugees Resettled in US’
    “During a nonpublic briefing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, it was made clear that not all security and vetting measures have been taken to ensure the safety of our homeland,” Sens. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.), Josh Hawley (R., Mo.), and Rick Scott (R., Fla.) disclosed in a letter sent Thursday to the Department of Homeland Security. The lawmakers are ordering the Biden administration to account for its failed vetting efforts and to “address the lack of transparency regarding this evacuation and resettlement operation.” Congress, the lawmakers disclose, still does not have basic information about who the refugees are or if they were qualified to be brought into the country.”

    You know, the far left (Democrats) have to really contort themselves into knots to tell the whoopers they are putting out. The Pretzel Persons: Border is secure, greatest economy since ‘84, we will leave no one behind (except Americans in Afghanistan), inflation is actually good for the working poor, BIDEN beat back the virus, we did not advocate for defunding the Police, the rich aren’t paying their fair share, CNN-the most trusted name in news. Add all the problems and struggles in your life are do to 1) White People and 2) Rich people. OK, add the “only solution to past discrimination is present discrimination and the only remedy for present discrimination is future discrimination.”
    The one thing they have given us the straight scoop on is you can save $4,000 on an used EV. Followed by not everyone is looking to buy a used car when questioned on the spike in used cars prices since Biden took office all those many months ago.

    I’ve always liked that graphic.
    It’s hard to escape the conclusion that it’s all about power. The folks living in Crazytown hated the 17 intelligence agencies until they managed to shove enough of their folks into management there. Now they love ’em. Same with schools. District attorney’s offices. Gubmint officials. The newest front is the armed services as normal people leave (or don’t enter) and it becomes simply a jobs program for the woke, run by a giant HR department.
    lol. Remember back when the big problem we all heard about was how the Christian Right was going to make all the women wear long dresses and teach creationism in high school? It turns out that the folks who want power over others come from the opposite side of the aisle. A two-pronged attack from building burners at the bottom and non-STEM made-up disciplines from the universities at the top…. with men-in-dresses uber alles.

    “If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any,” Trump said during a White House event highlighting administration actions to help senior citizens.
    Trump has frequently made inconsistent comments on testing. At times he has sought to downplay the severity of the coronavirus pandemic by saying the U.S. has tested more people than any other country, and as a result, the number of confirmed cases is higher.
    Other times, Trump has complained that the positivity rates and case counts are too high, because the country has been testing so many people.”
