This is another example of how politics has poisoned your brain. Build Back Better improves infrastructure where we need it especially during and after Covid.
Normally that's not a right vs left issue. Manchin opposes it is because his donors demand him to. You oppose it because you don't want Biden getting credit for fixing anything.
The same goes for the vaccine. Normally it's not a right vs left issue. But the right-wing is desperate to prevent Biden from getting credit, even if it means extending Covid.
It's weird that Biden is the guy doing this to you. He has no personality, and to you he's basically catatonic, doing nothing but "mentally suffering." Yet you hate him as if he was ridiculing your entire party everyday on twitter for the last four years like the last guy was.
At some point, you'd think people would realize "owning the libs" isn't worth the degradation of America's health and infrastructure.
I donβt hate the man. I pity him because he does have dementia or Alzheimerβs. Nothing to ridicule him about and Iβve never mocked him. I blame the ones who put him there. Even with a monitor he is unable to put a cohesive statement together. Biden isnβt the one who would be getting credit or not, because I donβt believe he would know the difference. Heβs getting worse and before long it will be President Harris who the Dems wanted, but knew she wouldnβt be elected. Good old Joe was a safe bet.
BTW, itβs the same damn vaccine which became available under Trump so donβt give the Biden gang all the glory. It was Trump who got the vaccine going. Youβre dreaming if you believe it was the Biden gang.
And, I donβt see you Dems accusing Biden of βkillingβ thousands as you blamed Trump! More have died this year, 2021 than all of 2020. You can lie to yourself if it makes you feel better.
Why are you happy about regular Americans not having their lives improve with better health coverage, infrastructure, paid family leave, etc.?
Most Americans support Biden's agenda. Manchin is pocketing rich lobbyists' money so why cheer him?
It's as if you're shooting yourself in the foot and happy about it.
There it is folks! The deflection by Keelai. How many times did Keelai call Trump a murderer? I canβt begin to count as it was every damn day! Now that the shoes are on anotherβs feet Keelai sings a different tune! More people have died from Covid under Bidenβs watch in 2021 than in 2020 and the year isnβt over yet! But, Keelai the phony hypocrite attempts to deflect and turn it back on those by saying we arenβt happy over American lives improving. Another lie! They arenβt improving!
Go back into the shadows, Keelai. Itβs where you belong with the other lying hypocrites!
Build Back Better helps average Americans which is why both Democrats and Republicans support it:
* $12,500 tax credit for new electric cars & solar panels
* child care & universal pre-K
* Medicare expansion
* child tax credit expansion
* more affordable housing & health-care
* lower ACA premiums
* broadband in rural areas
* fix crumbling bridges, highways, airports, etc.
Manchin destroyed the chance for:
* Medicare dental & vision coverage
* free 2 years of community college tuition
* paid family & medical leave
* lower prescription drug prices
Why would anyone cheer losing out on a higher education, lower prescription drug prices and better Medicare coverage?
re: covid
Get vaccinated, wear a mask and social distance. Anti-vaxxers like yourself are 95% of the hospitalized and deaths.
And who is paying for the above? You appear to believe the government has itβs own funds. What is wrong with you people? I have an idea. The next time you have a doctorβs bill, your cable bill, rent payment or mortgage payment I want you to take your βgive meβ bucket to all of your neighbors demanding they contribute to your living expenses. See how far you would get demanding such. Itβs exactly the same you hope the Democrats will do!
BTWβ¦Biden is a murderer! Heβs killing thousands via Covid! More are dying since heβs been in office (or thinks heβs the president). Shout it from the roof tops. BIDEN IS A MURDERER! HEβS KILLING THOUSANDS!! You damn hypocrite!
Do you use the fire Department, police and public schools? All that gets paid by taxes. If it is every man for himself type mentality you have shouldn't all that be privatized like healthcare?
Those 3 are for the general welfare. Healthcare does not fall under that umbrella. I suggest you do the same as I suggested to Keelai. Take your βgive meβ bucket and go to each of your neighbors and demand they contribute to your healthcare. You are doing just that by using Congress as your middle man or woman. Your healthcare is not for my general welfare.
Healthcare absolutely falls under that umbrella! Are you part of society? Is a healthy society not a good thing? You know how many people will not see the doctor for an illness because they are afraid of the bill? You realize certain things could be stopped from spreading if people were not in fear of their bank account being gutted going to the doctor? It is why Sweden ranks far higher than the US in healthcare.
Do not say you are some loving Christian when you do not care one bit for your fellow man. What ever happened to love one another? I guess that goes out the window in your case. I pray that I never reach your level of hatred and hostility. Rather a shame people like you give God fearing people who are actually genuine a bad name.
As a Christian we are to give of our own free will which I do. Itβs not the governmentβs job to force me to give. You most certainly can love one another by giving of oneself and not being forced to do so. Taking from my pocket to pay for someone elseβs healthcare does not fall under the general welfare umbrella. If we see someone in need we are to help that person to the best of our ability. I have paid for peopleβs medicine. I wasnβt forced to by the government. There was a need and I saw the need was filled.
When hurricane Ida hit this year devastating parts of Louisiana we were over run with evacuees. A family of 8 who lost their home managed to rent the VRBO next to me. They had little food and the shelves were empty in the grocery stores. Because I am commanded by Scripture to help those in need I went through my pantry and took bags of food to them. The government didnβt make me do it. I did so out of caring for those in need. They could only have the rental for a week so they had to split up to find other accommodations. I told them if they didnβt have the 2 dogs I would have taken them in as I had the room. I meant it and I would have done it as my neighbor took my daughter in last year after hurricane Zeta.
You donβt seem to realize itβs not the governmentβs job to provide cradle to grave care.
It does fall under the general welfare umbrella though. I ask you again is a healthy society not good for society? Why should I pay for the fire department, police or public schools? I do not have kids, never have called the police and have never used the fire department in my life. Therefore that has no benefit to me at all. You are operating under the guise that people will help. Some will and some will not. You know good and well there are people who do not care one bit about other people's struggles.
People like you are so anti government but you give the private sector free reign to do what they want. We need a good middle ground. Why does Sweden rank higher than us in Healthcare?
So what you are saying then is it is every man for himself? Also do you help those in need because it is the right thing to do or because you were told to and are seeking a reward because of that?
Oh good grief! I was commanded by Scriptures, but itβs not to seek a reward.
You use the roads & bridges. You may need the fire dept. Your police are patrolling your areaβ¦I assume. Schools are needed, hoping some will turn out students who will benefit society. But, someone elseβs healthcare is not my responsibility. As I suggested since you are so in favor of someone else paying your medical bills, take your βgimmee bucketβ around to all your neighbors and demand they pay your bills. You are suggesting such, but using the government to do it.
Iβm not totally anti-government. We do need certain departments for the general welfare. A person who becomes a tub of lard is not my responsibility. Itβs a personal choice they made.
Iβm old enough to recall at one time anyone who needed healthcare got it. We didnβt have to have insurance. It was βHey Doc, Iβm low on funds can I pay you weekly?β βSure, thatβs OK.β And people paid because at one time people had ethics. They met their obligations. Then the government got involved by passing a law called βMedicareβ. One of the worst boondoggles ever conceived by Congress! Are you aware at one time a doctor could decide you needed more therapy and would write a script for a SWIMMING POOL! There was and is so much fraud in whatever the government does.
A $600.00 toilet wasnβt a myth! Again other peopleβs healthcare is not my responsibility. You continue to mention Sweden. They pay a hefty amount in taxes and the wait time is very long. The grass always looks greener on the other side.
So then again answer do you do it because you were told to or because it is the right thing to do?
Which is why I did not mention roads and bridges. See I know how you work and I knew you would bring that up which is why I only mentioned police, fire department and public schools. If someone else's healthcare is not your responsibility then neither is paying for someone else's kids to attend school my responsibility. See I like how it is every man for himself mentality unless it is the things you value. Where did I mention it is someone else's responsibility to pay for my medical bills? I work my 9-5, have no debt, never been charged with a crime not so much as a speeding ticket on my record and have never borrowed money from anyone for medical bills. So we can put your ignorant assumptions to bed. I am not asking for a free handout but as society you realize that medical bills are one of the leading causes of debt in this country right? The system we have does not work! Pay up or die is the system in place. You really think we should continue with this? Do not change just keep the system in place cause you know American Pride!
Not everyone becomes a tub of lard. Some do get unhealthy because of personal choices but there are people who get an illness like cancer or other ones that had nothing to do with a personal choice. Again you can't assume it is always a certain way. Notice I actually admitted there are times where it is a personal choice, but there are people who can't pay their medical bills who have done nothing wrong or lived unhealthy.
I do not buy this well back in my day people had ethics BS! Like any era in history there are pros and cons. A while back blacks did not have the right to vote nor did women was that ethical? There is so much fraud in the private sector as well. Do not act is if they are exempt from their own form of fraud also.
The wait time is also being misrepresented by you. As it stands in America so long as you have money you can hop to the front of the line for a surgery. Sweden ranks higher than the US in education as well. So nope try again.
"He couldnβt get elected today by the Communist prone Dems!"
Not with all the voter suppression the Fascist prone 'Pubs are doing!
"it wasnβt JFK."
Kennedy popularized it by using the quote. JFK knew how to inspire people to achieve great things like landing on the moon. Meanwhile, you're whining about not being able to get national health care which practically every Western nation has. What a loser mentality, you have!
You're deflecting from the fact that you're a negative loser who doesn't believe in the Exceptionalism of the U.S. which is why your motto is Tear Down instead of Build Back Better.
The Great Deflector speaks again! But, fails to mention BIDEN IS A MURDERER! HEβS KILLING THOUSANDS DAILY!
Folks if you recall this is all we heard last year from Keelai about Trump! My question is if more are dying since Biden has been in office why isnβt the lying hypocrite Keelai saying the same about Biden? Deflection is the name of the game!
The GOP has gotten so toxic they can't lose elections any more without going batshit crazy. And the current dem that won is no more left-leaning than the last democratic president.
What are you rambling about? I donβt watch the news. Havenβt since the election. But, when I did I admit I watched Fox, but then verified. I donβt understand why you believe Fox is any worse than CNN. MSNBC is a cess pool. If the message is the truth what difference does it make where it came from? Iβm talking about the news, not the opinion programs. At least I never heard a Fox person ask if we should be sending drones after Biden supporters like she suggested doing for Trump supporters.
Fox News has been telling their viewers for years that the communists are going to take over. Then Covid happens, Trump loses, and they all believe this is the communism Fox News was talking about.
And now they're asking if it's time to shoot leftists.
It doesn't matter what you watch. It has the same right-wing narrative that originated from Fox News. It gets passed around to every right-wing outlet and YT channel from Turning Point to Mark Dice.
She's talking about a Bush policy that allowed a drone strike against a Yemeni-American who incited violence, and then questioned why McConnell wouldn't convict someone who incited violence. She even called the Bush policy controversial.
You know the difference between a drone strike and a conviction, yes?
I listened as clearly as possible. She talked about McConnell's support of a Bush policy that killed a Yemeni-American for inciting violence, and questioned why McConnell wouldn't even go for a prison conviction for a Trumper doing the same thing.
It's pretty damn stupid to say I omitted Obama's drone strikes when I didn't mention Trump's drone strikes either which ramped them up. Trump and Obama didn't create the policy. It was carried over from Bush.
Then again, I'm talking to a moron who can't use her ears to listen to her own videos.
All I can say is it takes one to know one! She most definitely was βbeating around the bushβ in suggesting it. Why mention the drone strike against domestic terrorism if she wasnβt equating Bush and Obamaβs use of drones. The reason I mentioned Obama is because she did. Apparently you didnβt listen too closely or had a closed mine.
It's not just Manchin but Sinema as well. Both don't want taxing the rich or companies. Sinema used to be so progressive as well until she met lobbyists with money then she became a crony capitalist.
You're not understanding an even simpler concept. Your mind is still stuck on "taxing the rich = taxing businesses who hire employees to make things." Those businesses aren't the issue.
There are billionaires making over a $100 million a year who are essentially paying zero taxes, and are making that money without creating anything. They're just trading. If they leave the US, they can't do the trades.
Even if we get them to pay just 20% in annual taxes, that's a big boost to the economy.
See how Keelai deflects? Throwing in crumbling bridge repairs which βprovides for the general welfareβ for all with broadband which benefits personally. Apparently Keelai doesnβt pay any utility bills. We are paying through the nose in extra taxes to provide services to people which I did without until I could pay for them.
It is general welfare. There is no broadband infrastructure in parts of the U.S., therefore millions of rural Americans are denied education, jobs and medical care which requires the technology especially during national emergencies like the covid epidemic.
News flash! People who live in rural areas pay taxes, too. It makes sense for the taxes to be spent on things which improve the country as a whole instead of only going to multi-millionaires and billionaires in order for them to have stock buybacks.
No, it is not general welfare. They can get broadband the same way they get satellite tv. People arenβt denied education, jobs, & medical care. They can receive the service the same way I doβ¦I pay for it! Iβm also paying for theirs thanks to that damn Al Gore who flys in a private jet.
Hereβs the deflection folks which Keelai is masterful in doing.
β I'm confident that I'm paying for your food stamps, Medicaid and welfare for your illegitimate children.β
You havenβt paid 1 cent in food stamps, Medicaid and welfare for me. We did without. Bills were paid before anything else. As I wrote yesterday Spam was a staple. Canned corned beef with cabbage. Also, my children are legitimate. I was married.
That sort of happens when one dies after 58 years. I tried to hold onto him after he had his stroke. I tried to hold onto him when I was walking beside him and his walker. I tried to hold onto him when his leg gave out and the walker gave way. I tried to hold onto him when he fell and smashed his cancerous head into the cabinet. Finallyβ¦I couldnβt very well hold onto him after he died in Hospice.
Then we end up with Harris! Oh well! Sheβs calling the shots anyhowβ¦but then sheβs just as guilty over the Afghan debacle. What a mess from these evil doers who were voted into office.
Keelai pays no bills he is on government welfare and you are more likely to talk someone off of heroin than talk a leach like him off welfare.
When everyone who actually works is paying 10$ a gallon for gas and triple for everything else they purchase the Keelai type will encourage even more gov spending without noticing that his government check has been buying less and less.
I did not know that. So lying βRhodaβ (from The Bad Seed) Keelai is on welfare! Hmm? No wonder s/he/it has no problem spending other peopleβs money. Disgusting race warlord, also!
So you listen to what the worst actors here say and repeat it like it's scripture? Good Lord, woman. You have no compass, no ethics, no scruples. Just find the lowest of the low and follow.
> If you consider the pros and cons of these Democrat policies, You really get a sense how crazy they are
That's so true ... not crazy in the least bit. When you listen to Republicans, they have nothing. Like Trump puffed up his health care plan ... nothing. Build a wall .... nothing but a small bit of a token symbol. Save American jobs, nothing but a temporary video byte. Lied about his tax cut.
Lied about releasing the JFK assassination files. Lie and the insult.
Republicans want to cut themselves loose from the country except for the money they can extract that they this is theirs and that taxes and public works are nothing they should have to pay for. They can rape the resources and pollute, and bear no responsibility.
The thing is that this is just war on a thousand fronts against the regular people ... as bad or worse than the history of the Native Americans and the African Slaves.
If we want to make America great again, we need to take back control of the country and the government - and the main thing is to fix the crimes of the past right up to today.
If we want to make America great again we need to drop ship you and your ilk into Afghanistan. Seems thereβs room for you all there.
βThe thing is that this is just war on a thousand fronts against the regular people ... as bad or worse than the history of the Native Americans and the African Slavesβ
> Equating todayβs times to what the White men did to the American Indians?
Obviously not equating.
This is why I don't bother with you at this point. Whatever anyone says you make up some ridiculous claim of what you hear and rage and insult and threaten.
I doubt you believe slavery was a barbaric sin since you support the part that wants to defend it and return to it with never-ending lies and insults.
βThe thing is that this is just war on a thousand fronts against the regular people ...as bad or worse than the history of the Native Americans and the African Slavesβ
This statement you wrote isnβt equating todayβs troubles to the genocide of the American Indian and slavery?
Donβt try and weasel out of what you wrote! No one with a sane mind defends and wants to return to slavery. You are a complete whack job and you sound dangerous. You really do have a mental problem. Please seek help. I wonβt reply to you again because I donβt suffer fools lightly.
I don't think you speak English as a native language do you? And your priorities seem to be to lie about history and twist political discussions so they fit your weird dishonest right-wing agenda.
If you are going to continue to waste time quibbling about your deliberate misunderstanding and misinterpretations Please do stop replying. Every time I see your name in my notifications I know it's just going to be more dishonesty, obvious to all, but still supported by your troll buddies.
There is a difference between an analogy and equating to things that seems to get past your swiss cheese mind.
More BS. Deft how you go from justifying slavery to justifying anti-Semitism in one post. You main concern is how to pack as many lies, insults and dishonest comments into your posts. What kind of a person in what kind of life dedicates their existence to this kind of hate? Do you do it for money? If you do you are indeed a slave. Is your slavemaster Jewish ?
Open borders is compassionate,.but it makes American citizens compete for jobs, it over fills schools, takes a generation to learn the language, need to translate everything for them. Lots of gov assistance being given out.
Every illegal alien currently in prison committed a crime that could have been prevented.
Citizens are tired of being killed, raped and just being in car accidents by people never supposed to be in the country.
As with every Democrat policy the cons always out way the pros.
Green new deal?
It's nice to try and have a cleaner environment. But green technology cost more, a majority of the money goes to China since the control the cobalt and rare mineral deposits.
Green technology is not strong enough, wind turbines with the amount of cement and metal needed to build just one.
Green technology is unreliable since it depends on wind and sun.
Defund the police??
I dont even know one pro.but the cons are , a less safe envorinment ,crime increases, graffiti increases
Criminals are more emboldened.
> As with every Democrat policy the cons always out way the pros.
Just type that, because that is all you are saying. There is nothing to support that but that you say it - and in fact since for 40 years now money, oligarchs and global oppression has run the world and there has been a cut-back in American on "Democrat" ( the word is Democratic, idiot ) policies and everything has gotten worse for the majority of Americans.
The only places where human beings thrive is in democratic socialist countries, which you Libertarian Plutocratic supporters who dishonestly call yourselves Republicans refuse to acknowledge or report on in your BS right-wing media news empires run on blood money.
Ok let's pick a topic and list the pros and cons..
Open borders
What are the pros to having non English, over breeding, job taking people enter your country in droves?
Pros can be compassion, helping others out.
Cons can be
Drugs and guns flow across the border, covid is spread, Gov assistance increases , job market becomes more difficult for citizens who now have to complete with immigrants, they avoid taxes, no room in schools, have to translate everything.
> Ok let's pick a topic and list the pros and cons.
I already know your canned Republican pros and cons.
Why do you assume that I or any other person ... human being
would support your false flag nonsense of - "non English, over
breeding, job taking people enter your country in droves"
Give me a break. And it is not just that comment, but you and
every Right-winger's constant dishonest posts on this issue that
basically say ALL Democrats are for open borders. I would hope
you know know at least in your subconscious mind where your
conscience seems to be hiding, that this is not true. Why do you
constantly repeat this for if not for the fact that you are part
of an online partisan propaganda team that pushes certain
narratives for political reasons not even in your own best interest?
Does it ever occur to you that your rants on this issue are the
complementary ( not complimentary ) same kind of bad messaging
establishment Democrats have to prevent anything from happening
on these important issues, and thus are the actual goal desired from
the ones on both sides who control their narratives. That would
mean that despite what you say your motivations are, the result of
your rhetoric are the opposite.
They dismantled border guards, stopped building a contracted wall, fly illegal aliens around the country.
Statically the numbers crossing see in align with open borders.
When they say open borders, the southern countries see weakness
Well, then stop saying it, because it is only you guys that are using that term and seem to be talking about. As I said - Democrats advocating for open borders ... nope, never, no one, not once.
