Re: The MAGA movement needs to grow up

I noticed Trump was already President and we didn't have a dictatorship Russia didn't have a dictatorship the first term Putin became president either. Don't be ridiculous. Of course he tried every play inside and outside the book to expand his power and overturn the election results when he got hi...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

I do think dems, if given a shot, would reform taxes to shift more of the burden to the top end of the income spectrum. I don't think a claw back of the middle class's lost ground through a wealth tax would pass, though. It would pass but you'd never see more tax revenue from it. Big businesses are...

Re: The MAGA movement needs to grow up

Most people don't want to live in a dictatorship. I get the feeling most people have barely considered what it would be like. It's a remote idea they don't really believe is possible in America. They've bathed in democracy so long, they're spoiled. MAGA likes to whine about the state of our governm...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

The only stupidity I see is in people who allowed themselves to bamboozled by the COVID fearmongers to the point that we're now no longer free to change jobs and refinance our mortgages because of things like the "Inflation reduction act," and infrastructure spending boondoggles. And what's the answ...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

Jan 2021-to 2022 . Maybe there's a new kind of MAGA math that overtook Common Core. How exactly does 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats, 2 Independents (that caucus Dem), and a Dem VP add up to a supermajority? Many a bill has been sunk by failure to gain a Senate supermajority for the rascally cloture r...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

Ajax, exactly when was this magical time when Democrats held a majority of the house, a 2/3 majority in the senate, and the presidency all at the same time? Jan 2021-to 2022. 2008-2010. They passed Obamacare and the Inflation production act. Yet there was no discernible plan to pay for any of it ju...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

What you really seem to be opposing is, whether you realize it or not, is taxing rich thieves and giving some of the money thereby collected back to whom they stole it from. I don't think one can reasonably deny that much of the billions and trillions of dollars and wealth possessed by the most pro...

Re: Weaponizing Stupidity

In my search for answers as to why anyone would support Trump, one thing I've heard many times but has really gripped me today is that many people like Trump simply because he "pisses off the establishment." I heard one Trump supporter explicitly state he doesn't mind being lied to because he knows...

The MAGA movement needs to grow up

I'm not writing this for the die hard communists on this board, but perhaps this might go down a little smoother for some of you. I think this guy does have a point. Do any of you agree with this? The Make America Great Again movement has surpassed every conceivable expectation since its inception n...

Re: Are people really basically good?

Ajax has absolutely no idea what led the perpetrators to commit a horrible act of violence. No I don't. Where would I find what these eight have to say for themselves? I'd really be interested in hearing their side of the story. What do you think my chances are of getting a straight forward honest ...
