1ºAndy Michels when did you stop caring about cops lives? And you assume I’m a liberal . I’m an independent.
Those “radical BLM riots” were mostly peaceful, unless you were watching Fox News. Also, there were plenty of alt right agitators there causing problems…Whatever the case, I don’t condone violence, but obviously you do. An insurrection attempting to overthrow a democracy is way more serious especially when it was fomented by the potus and aided by government officials. You are excusing the actions of republicans because you are a follower.
I’m looking at facts. I’m not a fan of Biden, but he can’t be blamed for everything just because you don’t like him. That isn’t how this system works, and if you don’t understand how inflation happens, or who controls the price of oil, then you need to learn so you can speak with some knowledge on the subject. It’s clear that you don’t know what you’re talking about, so it’s a waste of time responding to you.
2ºJo Noll the reason this war is happening is because of NATO not because of a lack of it. Trump just wanted other nations to start paying in more instead of relying on just the US and amazingly they started doing so after. Why would Putin wait until we had a “stronger” leader in the White House if he could have done it while he had his “puppet” in there? The price we are paying now is due to failed diplomacy by the person in charge now with all of his sanctions which he said would be a deterrent and then somehow made y’all believe he never said it would be a deterrent. This man has been in office for 50 years and has zero diplomacy skills. He just held a summit on immigration and couldn’t even manage to get the biggest player Mexico to show up. Let’s get off the Trump wagon because the issues we face now are because of this administrations horrendous foreign policy. Even Obama’s guy came out and said that this administrations foreign policy is the worst he’s ever seen. Just a cherry on top for you how about Biden saying he had no idea shutting down a facility that produces nearly 50% of our formula would cause a shortage? He said he had no idea even though there’s evidence that all the CEOs warned him and yet you will still give him a pass because he said he had no idea. Y’all are more blind then the “trumpers”.
3ºJo Noll they never found the source of the bacteria at the factory and I’m sorry but that formula was everywhere and less than 5 children were affected so it was probably nothing to do with the actual formula. The president still had the foresight of a gnat when understanding the repercussions of shutting down a factory that produced 50% of the formula for this country. Waited 2 full months for things to become a crisis before even considering to do anything. There are anti monopoly policies and if anyone helped big corporations succeed it was the democrats who destroyed small businesses with the shutdowns while allowing stores like Walmart and Home Depot to operate and make record profits. I’m very informed with all of this and am not blinded by politics like you clearly are. Only 20 percent of people have a positive outlook on the economy right now and somehow you still try and blame someone who hasn’t been in office for a year and a half. Biden had a record number of executive orders and spent the second most amount with his two massive spending bills and things are worse then ever. So even if he’s not responsible for the things happening now (which he def is) he certainly hasn’t helped anything.
4ºJared Purgatorio why would putin wait? Because if his puppet appears to be a failure, the American people would vote him out, and the puppet disappears—- which is exactly what happened. And as far as the formula shortage is concerned, that is a direct result of Abbott’s own failures, which btw , killed infants. THAT is the reason they were shut down. Also, our capitalist system allows for companies to monopolize markets. You can thank republicans for that too. Democrats have been opposed to this and fighting for some time to stop it through anti trust acts. You are woefully misinformed, and now crying about the system YOU support and proliferate
5ºWhatever happened to coming to America legally? How come Democrats haven't fixed the immigration laws yet? Every one of my Republican friends that I talked to don't want to ban immigrants they just don't want immigrants coming into our country not paying taxes committing crimes and not being held accountable. Is that really that much to ask for? Just make it easier to get in with great background checks and accessibility to the poor and rich equally. Democrats seriously need to think what the heck have we done lately? Absolutely nothing. Stop complaining and start fixing. This can be a bipartisan move if we stop polarizing all of the constituents around topics that do nothing.
6ºFor National Security reasons I think it's time to start the process of nationalizing the Oil Industry and all oil companies in Texas. Let's give them something to think about and maybe finally force Texas to live up to it's threats to secede from the union.....And when the Security Forces of Disney do a coup on the Texas government, we won't send or authorize any National Guard or U.S. troops to intervene. Let's get Texas under control and hail the new state of Disney, haha......Sound like a bunch of retarded b.s., well yes it does but that is in line with what Texas has become under their authoritarian Governor and state gov as a whole.......both Texas and Floriduh have become faux 3rd World Shitholes.........
7ºJared Purgatorio we’ve been sending billions yearly to Israel, which is not only an apartheid state, it is also one of the most liberal countries regarding abortion in the world. I’ve seen no one crying about that. Sadly, this country makes plenty of money selling arms/ providing military equipment to other countries . This is called the MIC, and it has been happening for decades prior to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Or maybe we should allow putin to invade any country he pleases so you can live in the plutocracy you crave. Seems like many of you would be happy to support putin over democracy.
8ºJared Purgatorio so I guess trying to blackmail zelensky for dirt on Hunter Biden while withholding aid from Ukraine was a much better idea that would have prevented putin from invading? Please
I wouldn’t be surprised if trump and putin planned the timing of this invasion in their secret meetings. Trump weakened the USA by pulling us out of NATO, and literally sending love letters to our enemies. Putin and KJU saw trump for the weak traitor he is.. they totally played him, and we all are paying the price now. We will never forget trump’s very public abdication to putin in Helsinki. It was an embarrassment, and disgusting.
9ºShanda Edwards oh sure… that lie supports your narrative genius
“Yet the claim that walls have been nearly universally “successful” could not be further from the truth. Research from around the world indicates that both the direct and indirect costs of building border walls exceed the benefits. Tunnels, drones, ladders, ramps, document forgery, and corruption—the strategies for circumventing the walls end up multiplying. Walls do not achieve the objectives for which they are said to be erected; they have limited effects in stemming insurgencies and do not block unwanted flows, but rather lead to a re-routing of migrants to other paths. As migrants take other routes, circumventing the obstacles and therefore becoming more difficult to monitor, they rely more on smugglers and as a result pay greater costs. This is a process that many studies have shown, for instance along the U.S.-Mexico border and between Israel and the West Bank. As border enforcement increases, so do smugglers’ profits and the presence of organized crime.”
