  1. Counting on the 300,000 Afghan military to provide security without US air support and logistics made it a disaster.
  2. White House digs at GOP, says ‘no real courage’ from House members to support infrastructure bill "They could come forward and support it as 19 Republicans in the Senate did, but instead they have chosen to be influenced by, whether it's pharmaceutical companies or other special interests or just to be strong armed by their leadership, not to support legislation that many, including members of the Problem Solvers Caucus, suggested they may," Psaki said. "So it just requires a majority to support legislation in Congress and we haven't seen any real courage from the Republican side in the House," she continued. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-gop-no-real-courage-infrastructure-bill So it's not the solely blame of the progressives in the House. They don't have to wait for the Senate to pass the $3.5 T or much less bill. If fully paid for by a tax increase should not cause inflation to worsen.
  3. The bipartisan infrastructure bill does not have to be tied to anything if Biden will sign it, already passed by the Senate
  4. The Senate voted 69-30 Aug 10 to approve a bipartisan infrastructure bill, a historic piece of legislation that could reshape American lives for decades. https://www.npr.org/2021/08/10/1026081880/senate-passes-bipartisan-infrastructure-bill Why don't republicans in the House also pass this bill without needing the progressive votes ?
  5. Liz Cheney would be a good moderate for republicans to run for president.
  6. Under Biden no one earning less then $400K a year will see a tax increase. That sounds more then fair.
  7. Corporations that make billions in profit and pay no taxes with loop holes like Amazon ok
  8. If you raise taxes on the rich and corporations by $3.5T over 10 years , $350B a year is not massive. Then it pays for itself.
  9. Donald Trump is 100% right about Stacey Abrams Has hell frozen over? Are pigs now airborne? Has Donald Trump stopped lying?! I found myself agreeing with something Trump said at his rally Saturday in Georgia. It was Trump's remark that having Stacey Abrams as governor of the Peach State would be "better" than current GOP Gov. Brian Kemp. https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/26/opinions/trump-stacey-abrams-kemp-obeidallah/index.html
  10. Been to Mexico many times being stationed at San Diego Navy Base. You don't dare break the law there , but they let refugees from Central and South America pass thru to the US border.
  11. The Haitians came thru Mexico from South America where they worked for years before covid hit. Did Mexico stop them at there southern border ? I'll wait
  12. Yep white supremacists are cheering the horse riders. The poor guy carrying styrofoam containers of food from the Mexico side to feed his family almost knocked into the river , that is very sick.
  13. The border bridge now cleared out. They had jobs in South America till covid hit. Just don't send them back to the disaster in Haiti Even a humane refugee camp in the US is much better then Haiti.
  14. Biden administration expresses horror over images of Border Patrol confronting migrants Videos taken by Al Jazeera and Reuters appear to show law enforcement officers on horseback using aggressive tactics when confronting migrants, who are largely Haitian, to prevent them from crossing into the US. https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/21/politics/alejandro-mayorkas-del-rio-border-cnntv/index.html These idiots should be fired right away
  15. Covid-19 cases forcing hospitals to ration care is unfair and unacceptable, expert says "We are at the point where not every patient in need will get the care we might wish we could give. It is not business as usual at your local health care system," Dr. Shelly Harkins, chief medical officer of St. Peter's Health, said. "It puts our health care providers in a state of moral injury where they're going to have to see people die who they would normally be able to take care of," Ranney said. "It is an unacceptable state for us to be in in the United States of America, and it is not fair to those doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, EMS providers." https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/20/health/us-coronavirus-monday/index.html
  16. My head is not in the sand , I supported a border wall and Trump forcing Mexico to secure there southern border with Central America. I fully support legal and orderly immigration. What is happening now is inhuman, I blame Biden for that.
  17. Gabby Petito: Police spoke to woman who claimed to see Laundrie days after Gabby last seen Miranda Baker claimed to have seen Brian Laundrie on Aug. 29 Baker recounted in the video that she and her boyfriend saw Laundrie hiking alone in Grand Teton National Park – where Gabby was last confirmed to be alive. Baker claimed that Laundrie offered the couple $200 to drive him some ten miles down the road. When Baker said they were headed to Jackson, she said that Laundrie "freaked out" and demanded they drop him off immediately. https://www.foxnews.com/us/gabby-petito-north-port-police-tiktok-laundrie-hitchhiking If this story is true , does not look good for Gabby
  18. I put all the blame on Mexico for the disaster at the border.
  19. The US not helping and forcing Mexico to block there southern border with Central America causing disaster here. At least set up UN refugee camps in Central America and allow some legal and orderly migration.
  20. Two of California Gov. Gavin Newsom's children test positive for Covid-19 https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/17/politics/gavin-newsom-children-covid/index.html
  21. FDA vaccine advisers vote to recommend booster doses of Covid-19 vaccine in people 65 and older and those at high risk https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/17/health/fda-vrbpac-booster-meeting/index.html
  22. Pence preps for potential 2024 presidential run amid rocky headlines about relationship with Trump https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/17/politics/pence-2024-run/index.html Much better choice then Trump for republicans.
  23. Italy makes COVID health pass mandatory for all workers ROME, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The Italian government approved on Thursday some of the strictest anti-COVID measures in the world, making it obligatory for all workers either to show proof of vaccination, a negative test or recent recovery from infection. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/italy-readies-law-make-covid-health-pass-mandatory-all-workers-2021-09-16/
  24. The OL mainly is Dawkins 100%. The punter too close to los and taking 4 steps instead of 2 caused a block and td.
  25. How Europe's doors are slamming shut for Americans Updated 11th September 2021 Earlier in September the European Union recommended that US visitors should be banned from nonessential travel to its member states due to rising Covid-19 cases in the States. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/what-americans-need-to-know-about-eu-restrictions/index.html
