Why beat around the bush? He pretty much guaranteed the 2nd Amendment was safe. For some reason Fox didn't even need to show a sigh of relief. 90% of their viewers would have loved that NEWS. Instead they pulled out the normal bag of lies. My personal opinion? We do need gun legislation, BUT, imo the Constitution says that our right to bear ANY arms shall not be infringed unless the gov't uses Artice 5. All laws on weapons are wrong, imo as per the American Constitution. I don't need any scholars to interpret one simple sentence for me. Other than 2nd Amendment what specific rights did you think Biden was going to take?

The thing is Trumpism is everywhere. You know TONS of people you get along with as friends who like him. The notion that we can't talk politics is unfounded. It's harder than ever to talk politics, BUT most will admit he has faults. That's a start

If you give all the money to the rich, what's their incentive?????????????? Well, obviously they get uber greedy, and that creates jobs???? They claim that capitalism is about incentives. Well, if I put a guy on a beach with a blonde and 10 million bananas, what's his incentive to want more bananas????????? There's something about power that us average people just don't understand. It's the only answer why old senators and CEO's rich beyond belief need MOAR! If your goal of praying is going to heaven, then surely your goal of working is to retire and enjoy yourself. That sounds very logical to me.

His idea was we went from sharecroppers to politcal pawns, so I don't care about statistics or wealth divide. Let's pretend we can relive the Reagan days. Did you both miss the fact that Biden has the most jobs increase first 100 days EVER DURING a pandemic? If your going to claim Trump did good with jobs, why aren't they doing the same for Biden. Roger Kimball wants it BOTH ways. Lousy journalism I would also accept a personal bet of $500 that Roger Kimball calls every democratic president for the rest of his life the worst president of his life. I'll bet you $2000 he said it with Obama w/o even Googling. I'm that sure.

They're buildiing up Scott, but believe me there's nothing there. He's the Republicans Elizabeth Warren. DeSantis is Bernie Sanders. Trump is their guy. He'll mop up anyone in the primaries. Scott just makes it easier if he draws votes from the others

Hannity: "America is at a crossroads". How long can this guy go with the same routine? Now I know why he's not a stand-up comedian, because his shtick would be pummeled with unfettered spoiled vegetables. Ted Cruz is unleashing the "socialism" rant. Ted, please tell me one socialist principle Biden mentioned? Then back to Hannity: "pack courts"- Biden pretty much already said no Back to Cruz: "break the filibuster"-Pelosi said no Do people like being lied to nightly? I think they do.

Is senile your professional opinion? I know everyone pokes jokes, but in the alternate facts world, those jokes become reality. The guy who just spoke is CLEARLY not senile. When the uninformed try to sound like geniuses, they come off sounding as idiots. I get what your saying, though. He was crazy like a fox, but his ego took over.

Humans are not very good at understanding their motivations. We think we are, but were not. No matter what there's always some degree of selfishness. It's built in. I prefer to admit when I am. That way I can help identify my shortcomings, and adjust. Before Covid, we called these kind of people, "likeable people". Well maybe before the internet, cell phones, and Trump.

It's better than saying give it all to the rich, and eventually they'll give it all back thus making us all richer. That's the most illogical stupid thing I've ever heard. Is Bezos or Musk ever going to open up a new industry? Hells no. Believe it or not educating ALL our citizens creates innovation, not just give it to the Wal Mrt family, and we'll all flourish. I swear we will

If sitting there shaking your head or acting bored is your idea of a good representative/senator then you need a new one. Joe is clearly grampa who doesnt realize all the credit cards are maxed, but he gave ideas for what he thinks WE need moving forward. Pick the parts that you think you can work together on, and get to work.

I would read more of what you posted if you actually agreed with the link. Instead, half the stuff you post I could chew up an spit out in 30 seconds. Quality is so much more than quantity when it comes to politics.

Sin taxes are the most incredibly stupid idea that a free country that's free of laws based on religion could ever come up with. Just so you know cigs on the rez are less than $1 a pack, so there goes that theory. Also, I still know people who pay the ridiculous prices anyways. Lying politicians are the single greatest threat to our country, so maybe we should charge people $10k and a random body part to vote??????????????

The government didn't cut smoking rates, cancer did. Nutrition awareness has already been tried, and were still a very obese country. It's engrained into our economy so much that you can't help one without hurting the other. People want tasty food. it's that simple.

The pandemic may change the way the "office" works in America.

Trying to take beef away from Americans would be like trying to take away cigs and alcohol. Never gonna happen. See prohibition.

Unless you're living under a rock, you know how many people believe there was fraud. I'd give you survey after survey, but you'd claim surveys are fake news. Reuters: Six in 10 Republicans in that survey also said they believed “the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.” That percentage of the sample would correspond with roughly 50 to 55 million Americans, Chris Jackson, the Ipsos senior vice-president for public affairs, told the Guardian.

That's great news then. I know little to nothing about taxes. I have had to pay taxes on dividends, but I won't have to pay on securitites gains if my annual income is less than 40k? Is that what you're saying? Is the capital gains added to my income to create my bracket? If so it's pretty hard to avoid the 15% bracket then.

I'll agree with that, but I'd use a different word than "enthusiastic". LOL

I'm not the one who's mad that their sleazy politician lost. Trump sleazed his way thru businesses, bankruptcies, marriages, the courts, and our government, yet millions of people are so mad he lost that they'll falsely believe he did win. I'm the least of anyone's problems.

He said "wait and see" until it's passed. I reminded him that Wall Street isn't reactionary. I don't know if you can change capital gains taxes by your revenue. Pretty sure it's flat rate.

Former Mexican officials who negotiated the deal with the Trump administration have repeatedly said there is nothing in the deal to fund a border wall. A modernized NAFTA could potentially grow the economy and increase overall tax revenues, but those would be paid by the increased output of U.S. companies and workers and not by the Mexican government.

Well, it is more likely someone who IS being investigated is going to prison than him just claiming they would be. Also, I hope I'm right, too. I've been holding on to some stuff forever, and this might be a good time to cash it out. It would be just my luck that I(of modest means) get caught in the wide net cast for the big fish. Biden mentioned raising capital gains taxes(ie stocks). I wasn't babbling.

So the other 200K times he said it he was lying??? So maybe instead of going before a crowd of chanting unsuspecting fools and saying it, he should have made it clear that was his platform?? Let's not be naive here. We know how the guy operates. What could make a bunch of people who hate Mexicans happy? A wall. What would make em even happier? Telling them Mexico was paying for it.

Supreme Court says corporations are 'people'. So when the 'people' voice their opinion about something, the Republicans threaten to shut down the 'people's' opinion. MAGA Mitch style

Do you think that Wall Street waits until something happens to figure it in?? If the tax increase is a near certainty it's already figured in somewhat. I do love the "just wait till..." mentality though. it's strong here. Where's the anyday now report that was gonna put Hillary, Obama and the deep state in prison???? Did Biden's DOJ supress it or was it the Trump DOJ that did that??????
