Keep drinking that Kool-aid that the GOP needs to do nothing. Meanwhile the scandals of the GOP continue. Not a week goes by without new arrests or search warrants being executed. meanwhile the GOP boos Mitt Romney. Who is the current leader of the GOP?

That and Brent's perpetual grasping of straws to add to his life-jacket as the ship goes down. The GOP base has yet to implement any cohesive resistance to President Biden's hefty spending and social programs. Instead they rely upon the rantings of Tucker Carlson about children being abused by following intelligent health guidelines. The fake news of national mandates of no beef. With trump wallowing in depression and self pity in the trumpenbunker. The GOP is rudderless, castrated, even lobotomized. Brent wants to feel better but everywhere he looks America is coming back.From successful Biden directives and initiatives. Its demoralizing to Brent.

What a frickin nutjob. Everyone need to read this to get an idea of how religion and GOP thinking comes about. From the story "Samsel is the second Kansas lawmaker to be arrested this year. Former Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop, a Wichita Republican, was charged with felony eluding and fleeing from police and also faces misdemeanor charges of drunk and reckless driving after allegedly driving the wrong way on Topeka highways on March 16. He was forced to step down from his leadership post." Read more here: https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article251069219.html#storylink=cpy

Evidently not.. oh well can't win them all.

I'm in favor of it all. Until moderate responsible republicans take back the party. The poison that is trump and his mish-mash nutty ideas. Are best kept at bay by actions like this. The longer Gaetz remains around. The longer the GOP refuses to ditch him. The more it hurts the far right of the GOP/trump movement.

Especially the "rusting materials" and "wall foundations" that will erode away. Sometimes the red meat that GOP supporters eat is just astonishing. Five day old skunk roadkill might be better for them.

Analysis is never his strong point. You might try whistling in a hurricane for better results.

For certain.

Hey its all appreciated. The US subsidy of pharma, medical science and its military spending. Has Canada riding its coattails all the way. Now Canada can have national childcare and new early education system.

"The story told us of a pharmaceutical giant called Amgen and three senators so close to it they might be entries on its balance sheet: Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Democratic Senator Max Baucus, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, and that powerful committee’s ranking Republican, Orrin Hatch. A trio of perpetrators who treat the United States treasury as if it were a cash-and-carry annex of corporate America. The Times story described how Amgen got a huge hidden gift from unnamed members of Congress and their staffers. They slipped an eleventh-hour loophole into the New Year’s Eve deal that kept the government from going over the fiscal cliff. When the sun rose in the morning, there it was, a richly embroidered loophole for Amgen that will cost taxpayers a cool half a billion dollars. Amgen is the world’s largest biotechnology firm, a drug maker that sells a variety of medications. The little clause they secretly sneaked into the fiscal cliff bill gives the company two more years of relief from Medicare cost controls for certain drugs used by patients who are on kidney dialysis, including a pill called Sensipar, manufactured by Amgen.... just weeks before this backroom betrayal of the public interest by elected officials....Amgen agreed to pay $762 million in criminal and civil penalties; the company had been caught illegally marketing another one of its drugs."

A sucker for allowing money, PACs and lobbyists to rule important public policy. Here’s How Much McConnell Got From Big Pharma After Nixing a Bill to Lower Drug Prices $50k for selling out America on one vote.

Well there is the US. President Obama introduced a modest semi-universal health care system. Then trump got some juicy donations to his party and pressure from lobbyists. So it went back a 1/2 step. The authors of this new book: The Great American Healthcare Scam: How Kickbacks, Collusion and Propaganda Have Exploded Healthcare Costs in the United States Two physicians published a segment of the book here. "the financial reports of the 13 largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. It shows that 45% of their total combined revenue since 2011 came solely from sales the U.S." The world appreciates Americans rich and poor subsidizing every one else s drug costs. The chart below has Canadian prices in Canadian dollars. US prices in US dollars with no correction for exchange. So Canadian prices are an even 20% cheaper. Medication and Dose Price in the US Price in Canada Brilinta 90 mg $5.99 per pill $1.67 per pill Gilenya 0.5 mg $265.03 per capsule $91.30 per capsule Humalog Insulin 100 units/ml $26.14 per ml $2.78 per ml Pradaxa 150 mg $6.92 per capsule $1.78 per capsule Spiriva 18 mcg $13.72 per capsule $1.91 per capsule Xarelto 20 mg $14.37 per pill $3.07 per pill

Biden beats Trump in poll of first 100 days by 12 points 'Biden’s overall approval rate was 60 percent, well above Trump’s 48 percent approaching 100 days in office." The bar wasn't high.

No, can't name a country.. Western country after western country has moved to universal care because of the economics. The competition models result in waste, duplication and additional record keeping costs. IMO President Biden should not lose focus on sharpening the ACA act or moving further on universal care. Because there is still 2% of GDP waste in the US model.

Agree

Speaking of being treated. Did you get a dose in N. Dakota yet?

Now you're just being silly!

He is well informed. The donations from PAC's to the GOP. Which went from $135 million in 2018 to over $400 million last year.Has painted a narrative that the GOP loves. He's swallowed the industries "free market" spin, hook line and sinker. Nobody knows better where their bread is buttered than US pharma and health care.Bill exorbitantly, donate to the GOP, the base swallows the messaging. Continue.

While thats all true jakee has a point. Russia and China also have so called "bills of rights". Its not getting their citizens anywhere.

Is it no-duty Caribbean rum that initiates such gems?

While the "Patriots have their 17th straight season with 10+ wins, passing the 1983-98 49ers for the longest streak in NFL history. Here in SC we have our own winning streak.

Whatever happened to President Biden and restoring American leadership in the world? Has trump so degraded political debate that everything is about the analysis of "pussy"? Or has the increase in everyone's 401k made everyone giddy?

Yes today its announced US GDP growth at 6.4% under the first quarter of President Biden's administration. Since "V" day 2020, i.e. US election day, the US stock market is up 19% Covid is starting to retreat into history...Meanwhile the right spreads false rumors about the government limiting meat consumption. Too bad truth and facts on FOX are difficult issues to understand. Because after all FOX knows its market.

Its discouraging to have the only active conservatives in SC completely unable to deal with serious issues. The President announced what i understand to be a $4 trillion spending plan. An effort to expand social programs. Yet obscure rap b.s. is the concern. Since William Buckley died it seems as if serious factual debate from the right died.

But if there is a video thats all the evidence thats needed. What? The video says deadly force was necessary and no deescalation by LE was necessary? OK the investigation and clearing the cops can be concluded right now. Yet the girl with the knife had been armed for at least 15 minutes prior to the cop showing up.Nobody else was removed from the scene of the shooting having been injured. What if the girl with the knife was defending herself? What if the girls she lunged at were the aggressors and had been so for what would have been over 15 minutes? You seem to think that the video is all the evidence thats necessary. Yet you concede that it depends on the situation. I'm done making the point that one video is not open and shut Prima Facie of what occurred.
