I agree but I also believe any government financial commitment requires an evaluation and change in current spending priorities to reallocate funds rather than some "blank check" program of increased borrowing and debt. Many seem to think that along with natural resources, financial resources are also infinite.

Yes, thank God. Because we have a puppet with different masters. Biden dancing to the globalist and billionaire elite agenda spreading war and suffering across the planet with no regard for the welfare and interests of the American voters and citizens whom he told to shove it. So yeah, things are just peachy now that the evil one banished from Washington DC. As we pay double for everything. Things are so good I can't take any more!

You know what I find funny and more than a tad ironic? Politicians across the political spectrum make all kinds of campaign promises saying they're going to do this and do that. They all claim God-like powers to do anything and everything. Cure the sick, save the poor, end all crime, educate every child, produce world peace and perpetual prosperity. And the whopper of them all, cut taxes and improve government services! I don't recall every seeing or hearing a political campaign ad and promise or debate where anyone said vote for me because I'm lying through my teeth, none of my proposed policies or programs will have any impact on your lives, I have no control over anything, and I will accept no accountability for any negative or adverse consequences during my term. But here's Joe saying just that.

Biden has a big problem. Nobody believes that excuse. Just 11% of respondents in a recent poll believe his assertion that Putin is to blame. So when 89% of America disagrees with Biden's policy and his answer is tough sheet in what amounts to a government policy that completely ignores the interests of American voters and citizens what should we do? Suck it up and let the fool destroy what he hasn't destroyed yet? Or vote out his majority and neutralize the senile old fool for the remainder of his term? I say plan B.

Yes, everybody that doesn't agree with you exists to fulfill their sole objective in life of destroying the republic. Congratulations on exposing this ever present menace. How wonderful for you! But maybe, just maybe, if you get your head out of your ass you might look around and see the reality that the people executing a real-time plan to destroy the republic are sitting in the White House and controlling Congress. Making up excuses and blaming everybody but themselves for all the problems. So far they're doing a fantastic job. The historically low job approval ratings they're receiving show it. You should be proud of the mess you're supporting that they've created in a record time of just one and a half years. Now we have a recession and with any luck and a little more effort they can turn it into a global depression.

Or maybe they're part of the 2% of Americans believing the "all is well" narrative the administration is peddling?

You should know as poster boy for the concept.

You're sounding paranoid here. I'm getting worried about you. You've gone from disputing some opinions on this topic to accusing several posters of supporting the overthrow of our government through violent means. That's quite a mental journey

Can you just drop your political horse crap for 30 seconds? Nobody here is advocating a dictatorship. If you really believe that then perhaps you're not recognizing your own behavior and you're the person being radicalized? This violence is a systemic problem with society. We're creating a large number of angry and aimless young men with no goals or ambitions that take a hopeless view of life. Emotionally and mentally well-adjusted people don't commit these acts regardless of their political views.

What's inspiring them is a non-functioning mind developed in a dysfunctional home and social environment. The fact we're creating so many of them should provide a clue. Our society is systemically sick and this is a mental health and social crisis. Stop playing politics.

Our entire culture is sick. Right away, the usual suspects in politics and the media go on the hunt to identify the shooters ideology. Which side can we blame? The left or the right? Did he vote for Biden or Trump? Is he associated with Antifa or maybe White Supremacist groups? Can this violent and senseless act help with our political and social agenda? How can our causes benefit from the suffering of others? Instead of just admitting we've got a generation of a lot of maladjusted and dysfunctional young men that appear to have little purpose or interest in life running loose in the country. And that for one reason or another they've gone down a wrong path that's transformed them into raging psychotics and we need to do something about it that goes far beyond talk about gun control. Whatever the politics, the system, whether its education or parenting techniques, or the legal system, or the economic system, or social media, or video games, or some other thing, screwed these kids up and the system better fix the problem.

So you're good with urban gang violence terrorizing inner city residents and drug & sex trafficking cartels but a group of people "marching" around are the real danger to public safety? What I'm hearing is its okay to terrorize urban neighborhoods or sell women as sex slaves as long as your politics don't disagree with mine.

You are spreading misinformation. Lots of shootings, murders, robberies, assaults in the news all weekend. All kinds of violence. New York, Newark, Chicago, Philadelphia, and so on. Lots of video of these perps. But not a lot of white guys doing the shooting. Another progressive myth. Don't believe me? I'd be glad to drop you off at midnight in one of a number of US cities anytime you're ready. There you can count all the white supremacists threatening the public while you run for your life from urban street gangs.

You just can't let go of him? Can you? You're attempts to associate me with "him" in order to discredit my views through a false association are both preposterous and comical. It's a clever game you play. Because the truth is I don't even like the guy. And never voted for him (or Hillary or Biden either). If anybody can't handle the truth, it's you.

That's cute. So yeah. there's 1,000's of recent stories of people getting beat up by these characters! Stop spreading fake news created by professional misinformation experts that get compensated for spreading and peddling this nonsense. But what's your story? Maybe you just enjoy getting gaslighted for the fun of it?

Another fake threat topic spreading misinformation.

This moron isn't even the person in charge of the executive branch, the President. He's a cartoon character that was trotted out and created by the party to front a phony "moderate" campaign and platform that hid an extreme agenda. And the voters fell for it. If you're saw this mess coming you've taken action to protect yourself as best as possible before this disaster was put in motion. He belongs in a rest home for the elderly mentally impaired not the White House in this nightmare scenario. The guys can't even hold a real press conference. They're all staged events. Scripted questions with scripted answers asked by pre-determined members of a press corps friendly to the cause. Want to know who is really in charge? Find out who's writing the questions and answers and deciding who gets to ask them? Find out who's writing the tele-prompter scripts. This is nothing short of a coup in plain sight. Everybody knows it but nobody in any position of authority, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, seem to care because the alternative is Kamala Harris. It's like Biden's handlers picked the worst possible VP as insurance to protect their scam from exposure and elimination. Most likely history will judge Biden as the worst President ever.

What all these SCOTUS decisions have in common are an intent to return powers granted to the legislature back to the legislature that have been encroached upon by either the judicial branch through judicial activism or the executive branch through administrative edicts issued simply for the purpose of political convenience. With these rulings the court is saying follow the rules and not specifically ruling on the merits of the rule.

Hey! That's a great yet simple question. I'll go out on a limb here and say there's not a single person on this topic rooting for Russia to win. Everybody is on the side of the Ukrainians. But as is customary, there is contention nonetheless. My short list of arguments here are: 1. Disagreements on how involved the US should be. From doing nothing, sending weapons & support somewhere in the middle, to all out nuclear exchange with Russia if necessary to save "democracy". 2. What's the US interest here? Does it matter whether Ukraine is aligned with the US, Russia, or independent. 3. The characterization of Ukraine as a fledgling democracy on one end to the other end where its a corrupt oligopoly. 4. The ever present Trump connection a. Can any or all of this be blamed on Trump. b. The never ending Russia collusion connection hoax or reality debate. c. Making excuses and deflecting any responsibility for consequences from Biden.

Yes we do agree on let's say 90%. And I yield to your expertise on much of the rest. I think we agree there are limitations to current technology and more advancements are necessary. Where we might agree or disagree is on the pace and timeline for that progress. My expectation is decades more research and development work is required. And while I have no opposition to "green" or "renewable" energy I 100% believe the timelines set by various officials, agencies, and governing bodies are unrealistically short. As I've managed more technical and non-technical projects in my life than I care to remember it always raises a "red flag" when executive management comes into the process dictating schedules and delivery dates while having absolutely no understanding of any details or any plan beyond a well produced powerpoint deck. It never ends up working out the way they think, generally costing more, taking longer, and with a lot of complexity. That to me is what's going on here too.

Because almost nobody cares about 1/6 at this point. As someone once famously stated, what difference does it make now? Look around. There's a lot of other things going on, mostly bad. Things that actually impacts people's real lives. This is just some Washington clown-fest. I can say with almost 100% certainty no matter what the outcome here it won't affect my life one bit. When watching and hearing the mainstream news report daily on the breathtaking revelations of the committee hearings, the tone of their voice and the words they carefully use, I wonder if this is what it's like being forced to watch a North Korean propaganda film? I can make a pledge to take interest when the committee findings result in some actual indictments and evidence is heard in a real court with a real judge and real prosecutors and real defense attorney's representing real defendants and real rules of evidence submissions and disclosure and witness examination and cross-examination apply. Until then.

Atlanta Fed downgrades Q122 GDP to -1.6% along with releasing Q222 GDP forecast to -1.0%. Two consecutive quarters of negative growth is the standard criteria for a recession. Q3 starts tomorrow.

In a majority opinion authored by chief justice John Roberts, the justices ruled the Environmental Protection Agency was not specifically authorized by Congress to reduce carbon emissions when it was set up in 1970. The ruling leaves the Biden administration dependent on passing legislation if it wants to implement sweeping regulations to curb emissions. So far the common theme of the court is legislate through the legislature.

You might be on to something here. Maybe they left a confession note or signed copies of their elaborate and foolproof insurrection plan somewhere like on Adam Schiff's desk? Or mailed a copy to the NYT's? Or a napkin found in the trash at the local IHOP?

No. The idiots are the people believing the fantasy that you can execute a successful coup without any support from the military or other people with lots of guns acting in coordination at multiple sites around the country to take over key and critical facilities and infrastructure.
