That’s what spending $20MM in attack ads and character destruction lies gets you.

I believe most of that was due to COVID.  Was he supposed to veto all of that?

I guess you would have been quite happy allowing McCarthy to continue going along with whatever the Democrats wanted.

Not to worry, we'll probably end up with McCarthy again.

Yes. I’m telling you, the Covid “payments,” PPP loans, and the Employee Retention Credit payments are all scams that weren’t necessary other than to buy votes.

I’m a CPA. The incentive payments went to people whether or not they were affected by Covid shutdowns. My daughter bought a couch with her $1,400.

The PPP loan program was a cluster fuck of epic proportions. I had to tell clients who didn’t need a free forgivable loan that it would be malpractice for me NOT to recommend they they claim the PPP if they met the easy-to-meet requirements. Businesses with $25MM of revenue were getting $2MM in forgiven loans - literally free money. Congressmen and nonprofits were claiming this “benefit.”  It was abused beyond recognition. We’re there done businesses like restaurants that needed it to survive?  Of course. But most went to businesses who had zero risk of failing without it.

Then comes the ERC - you know, the payroll tax credit that Clay and Buck and every other radio broadcaster is pitching, and which has been so abused they the IRS has shut down ERC claims. There are requirements that need to be met, but with no regulatory guidance issued for over a year after the programs started, companies were being told they could claim the ERC if they had to put up plexiglass dividers between their employees and customers. Totally abused.

Regarding the Speaker clusterfuck, do you know how close we were to getting Soros-funded Emmers?  If it went to a floor vote, and Jeffries told 15-20 democrats to just vote “present,” we would have had Speaker Emmers without having 217 Republicans support him. This is a dangerous game and needs to end now.

The swamp wins again.

Aided and abetted by a colossally stupid move by their stooge, Matt Gaetz.

Problem is, FJB is also funding Hamas as well as Iran.

And in the case of Ukraine, the FJB placed sanctions on Russia which only improved their economy and helped them wage war.   And we support Taiwan, while we trade with China, sell China our debt and also provide China with billions in foreign aid.

Throw in for good measure the $85 billion in military hardware and ammunition FJB left behind in Afghanistan, which is now being found being used by Hamas and Hezbollah as well as some other foreign actors.

Let's not forget that a lot of oil transits through the Strait of Hormuz each day, and once a hot war kicks off we will face an immediate oil shortage, and our petroleum stockpile is only at 17 days now.

  The Ukraine clusterfuck has depleted our munitions stockpiles. 

 

  BTW, when the fuck did we elect Lyndsey Graham as President?   All of his talk about bombing Iran oil fields and such is not helping and only fanning the flames of war.

Lindsey Graham must have a micro-dick to be such a war monger.

Very interesting.  He also claims the 2020 riots, the violent part, were more Antifa but the media put the blame equally on BLM.  This doesn’t exonerate the grifting that the national organization is guilty of, but this guy seems more the spirit of BLM, not the corrupt institution part of it has become.

BLM supports Hamas, so there’s that.

  Actually I find this despicable:





   RDS was a JAG officer.   JAG officers are not combat trained, nor do they accompany assigned teams into a battle area. JAG's don't even attend regular Navy OCS training, instead they are giving courses on military etiquette and military duties and responsibilities, more like college courses rather than the intensity of OCS.   He was a company lawyer, nothing more.

   This picture was RDS getting dressed up in SEAL equipment for a picture, much like the OwlGore picture of him holding a M16 in VN.

Grow up. I know what JAG officers do. They don’t all sit in Washington and head to the squash courts after work.

DeSantis was in theater in Fallujah and Ramadi.  He wasn’t camped out at Camp Victory in Baghdad. That means he also had to ingress and egress into those battle areas. Anyone who did that had rifle training, and no doubt the Seals that he supported didn’t want him to be unprepared.

I played football with a retired Marine Colonel who faught in Fallujah, and lost fellow Marines under his command. According to him, there was no safe area for REMFs to hide out. Anyone in those theaters were at high risk.

Interesting you find DeSantis in battle dress offensive but not Trump’s deferments and bone spurs.
