  1. I never considered race, color, religion or national origin to be much of a difference. In my military experience, tactical, technical and physical proficiency were much more important. If you were a stud, you were a stud, If you were a shit bird you were a shit bird, pigmentation mattered not.
  2. Not only is “Woke” a joke it is a loser at the ballet box.
  3. I think a Republican winning a blue state Biden won by 20 points just one year ago may represent a sea change in the body politic. But I’m not great with math so what do I know?
  4. Tuned in to MSNBC and literally filling up on schadenfreurde and popcorn……
  5. Agreed, both sides did it with the American Rescue Plan Act. They paid for it by eliminating the non-existent line item in the budget tilted “waste, fraud and abuse”
  6. Have you ever considered they are Democrats representing red states, or that they think drastically increasing the size of the welfare state at a time when we can’t pay for the one we have might be a bad idea? If the American people think Biden’s Build Back Better plan is worthwhile, they will reward them with supermajorities in the House and Senate and render the notions of two rogue Senators moot.
  7. That was one of just one of his points. He also laid bare the gimmicks the Ds used to pretend that their scheme was fully paid for.
  8. I encourage you to listen to his press conference and decide for yourself. If the progressives stick to their guns and Manchin sticks to his, our country will have dodged a bullet. We can only pray for intransigence.
  9. Nobody knows where the funding will come from because nothing has been codified. The “danger” to the economy is the inflation we are now experiencing.
  10. He is just representing his constituency and ironically, he is protecting his party. The Ds are conflating antipathy for Trump for a progressive mandate. They are overreacting and Manchin is protecting them from themselves.
  11. It would be better for all involved for him to switch parties or become a non-aligned independent. The Democrats would be happy to loose Manchin and the Republicans would be happy to get him. It would seem an obvious solution, and win-win if you will. I can’t understand why Schumer hasn’t suggested it.
  12. Manchin just killed the reconciliation bill. Either the progressives fold or the infrastructure bill is dead as well. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/01/politics/joe-manchin-biden-agenda/index.html
  13. Don’t worry Bill, it will all be over in about forty months. You can thank Phill for opening up this thread. Until then, check out the video of Biden napping during COP26 https://www.trendsmap.com/twitter/tweet/1455195062405632007
  14. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjoz4unlvfzAhWkVN8KHVhKCUkQtwJ6BAgIEAM&url=https%3A%2F%2Fvideo.foxnews.com%2Fv%2F6279754563001%2F&usg=AOvVaw3Q5odzrJcH3qPYpeNjaf5M The Biden presidency is no more, has ceased to be, bereft of life, it rests in peace!
  15. Rate in cents per kWh California: 21.43 Texas: 11.39 While California’s rates have risen 7% over last year, Texas’s have dropped 3%. And Texas’s utilities don’t burn the state down every other year.
  16. I’m afraid Biden’s election has energized the right and his performance (or lack there of) has demoralized the left. Unfortunately this makes Trump more relevant than he would otherwise be.
  17. Yes you are correct and we should give credit where credit is due. # of evacuees by county: Qatar 40,000 UAE 36,500 UK 17,000 Germany 5300 Canada 3700 France 2834 ”you’re doing a hell of a job Brandon”
  18. Ok, I will grant Biden was dealt a poor hand in Afghanistan, that said he played it very poorly. What about the border? What about infrastructure? Energy independence? Crime? COVID? https://nypost.com/2021/10/28/florida-gov-ron-desantis-has-shown-how-to-handle-covid-19/ Just what has Biden actually done?
  19. https://nypost.com/2021/10/31/54-disapprove-of-biden-71-say-us-heading-in-wrong-direction-poll/ When Tony Blinken was asked what the US has done to combat climate change, he replied (without laughing) “we greatly increased our aspirations”. This entire administration is a complete mess, Afghanistan, the border crisis, COVID, economy, inflation, energy….on an on. They can’t even legislate with control of both chambers of congress. A Democratic strategist on MTP said if McKuliffe and/or Murphy loose in the “blue” states of VA and NJ then it is “Katie bar the door” and the end of the Biden presidency.
  20. I would request that I be no longer be referred to as brenthutch or the very derogatory “troll”. I consider the first to be my “dead name” and the second to be a bigoted slur. From now on I identify as “Grand Exulted Puba” In no way does it diminish anyone to recognize my humanity and my new identity. Grand Exulted Puba
  21. Bill, still nothing on the proliferation of diesel generators?
