Re: An odd case of liberal intellectual honesty on COVID
Ajax, you probably don't follow the research on COVID, but there's lots of it going on. As viruses go, it's still a relatively new disease. And the research is showing long term effects on the body, including the brain. We're talking heart damage, kidney damage, lung damage, brain damage and damage...

Re: An odd case of liberal intellectual honesty on COVID
280 billion of which was just flat-out stolen in what the AP called ‘the greatest grift in U.S. history,’ and which started an inflationary spiral And it all began with Donald Trump insisting on signing the first round of checks with his own name. Have you dropped 59.99$ on a Trump Bible yet, Ajax?...

An odd case of liberal intellectual honesty on COVID
Maher: We’re Better Off Under Biden, Don’t Have Excessive COVID Restrictions During his closing monologue on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that America is better off than it was four years ago because we’re not in the middle of the time “when COVID hit and America ...

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...
