  1. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/biden-senate-mull-changing-filibuster-ahead-debt-ceiling-vote-n1280913
     

    McConnell says he will not block a vote on the debt ceiling.

     

    McConnell is a bit not truthful in how he discusses this. He wants a limit raised by Dems. If he ends the filibuster in any debt fueling bill, then that bill can be passed solely by Dems.

     

    So McConnell using the filibuster is the only thing ever holding this bill up. McConnell could just end a filibuster and the Dems would happily pass the bill without Republican support.

    Well, when you believe that 2+2 equals whatever you want, it all starts to make cents...😉


    It’s an argument of net vs gross. The tax plan to pay for the bill could net it to $0.

     

    Lets contrast this to TCJA, which was also a reconciliation bill. That was a $1.5 trillion dollar hand out to wealthy Americans without any netting component. Hell, Republicans were even lets handout money to Corporations over people so they made all the Corp tax cuts permanent and all the individual tax cuts expire in 2026.

    You act as if I am flippant about Covid when you are the one making absurd comparisons, but please answer me one questions- what is an acceptable death count to you for Covid? 


    There is no acceptable death count but minimizing the amount of deaths is the best we can do.

     

    Im not making any absurd comparisons. If the death rate is 0.5 percent, that’s many millions dead if you don’t do anything.

    Got it- saying either get vaxxed or die is not satire, it is math when 99%+ survive.


    You spit out this 99 percent. Apply it to real life numbers. You’re saying it’s ok for 1 percent of the world population to die. You’re saying it’s okay for millions of people to die.

     

    You down play it by saying it’s 0.5 percent. But that’s millions of millions of people.

    You are defending poor satire by pointing out that my survival rate was far too high? The world has less than 5 million Covid deaths and for my number to true that would need to be closer to 25 million.


    Because the world went into preventative measures everyone in the world didn’t catch COVID. Had we just let it run its course, at a 0.5 percent death rate we would have killed 37.5 million people.

    The reason you’re sharing this and the reason this is an issue is dumb.

     

    Its not political. It shouldn’t be political.

     

    One side issue saying listen to your doctor. Listen to science.

     

    The other other side is saying drrrrrrrr. 
     

    So this isn’t political. Listen to your doctor, listen to science. If you want to make it political listen to those in the right.

    Your multi-post point boils down to “people say  dumb things.”?   
     

    A governor from Virginia claiming to be for the people dressed in black face as youngster, pretended maybe he didn’t, and spoke eloquently about snuffing the life of a baby born alive.  
     

    People say dumb things. Some will be Republican. Some will be Democrats. Some will be independents.   Yes, the people writing the laws should be heard from, and frankly, those ignoring them should be held accountable.  Sometimes neither happens, mostly because people do dumb stuff and say dumb things. 
     

    Expanding a bit, people of all races,color, gender and creed say and do dumb things.  


    While I agree, I think there is a difference between just saying something and a belief.

     

    Lets take this quote for example: say: “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

     

    So he said it, it’s dumb, we all know it’s dumb. But what if that’s his belief? What if he thinks the female body can’t get pregnant during rape.

     

    Well if that’s his belief, then when he’s writing or voting on legislation, he probably wouldn’t support exceptions for rape. Not from a policy or moral stand point but because he can’t pass 4th grade science.

    o you do belie

     

    You added after the actual quote that you believe an infant has sexual thoughts. That is not part of the quote and is disturbing that someone would sexualize a child that way. 


    That’s a quote from the article.

    Why not simply say you posted the articles without thinking too deeply about it- most of us do it- and upon further reflection the information is garbage.


    The information I shared were just Republican quotes in the issue. Don’t you think it’s important to understand what the people who are writing these laws think about the issue?
     

    Did a Republican say: Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby . . . If they’re a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to believe that they could feel pain?

     

    Did a Republican say: . “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

     

    The answer yes. So the information isn’t garbage, they’re factually true and relevant to the topic at hand.

    You actually might be mentally ill and I seriously recommend going to a doctor and seeking help if you read about a baby having pleasure and you think of it on sexual terms. Infants recieve a lot of good feelings from contact with other humans. You also quote a dead mans quote from a decade ago, who has no impact on the current debate unless I get to use Margaret Dangers hope to use eugenics.


    Im not providing an opinion but just giving articles some on the other side may not read, just call me A-Man.

    Longtime lurker, first post.

     

    29 Years is correct.  For those who want to educate themselves on what excess liquidity can do to an economy read "When Money Dies" by Adam Ferguson....

     

    "In 1923, German currency became effectively worthless: the exchange rate in December of that year was one US dollar to 4200 trillion marks."   

     

    Germany kept printing money to fund social services and keep the populace happy (sound familiar).  At the end this is where they were....

     

    “In hyperinflation, a kilo of potatoes was worth, to some, more than the family silver; a side of pork more than the grand piano. A prostitute in the family was better than an infant corpse; theft was preferable to starvation; warmth was finer than honor, clothing more essential than democracy, food more needed than freedom.”


    What stats point to excess liquidity?

     

    Thinking basic Econ supply and demand, we have a massive strain on supply. Global supply is hurt. Decrease in supply with same demand will push prices up.

     

    And this isn’t a US problem. It’s a global problem right now.

     

    From a labor standpoint, we need a thread on the Great Resignation. In my opinion, there will not be a great economic impact in our generation than the Great Resignation.

    These are stupid and ignorant statements, of course, but as we’ve learned by now, it can always get much, much worse.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Not even close Cosmo,

     

    As was clearly spelled out earlier in this thread, most abortions are before heartbeats are detectable.

     

    Abortion is "basically illegal" is a lie

     

     

     


    Fake news 

     

    Lets not forget the people passing these laws are doing it because fetuses masterbate :

    "Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful. They stroke their face. If they're a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to believe that they could feel pain?" — current Republican Rep. Michael Burgess, arguing that male babies ***** in utero.

     

    People passing these laws think if you’re raped you can’t get pregnant: 2. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

    They needed those to protect themselves. Don’t post this crap without context. We need to remember they’re super snowflakes that are scared of their shadows.
     

    They just needed those because after seeing how cops treat people that aren’t white, they feared for themselves, not because they wanted to overthrow any government.

    And yet none were used that day and they all left of their own volition.  Again, worst "armed insurrection" ever.


    658 people charged so far I believe. Why arrest them on the spot when they’re dumb enough to post themselves breaking the law on social media.

     

    Like just imagine it’s Oceans 658 and instead of them trying to get away with something they’re just like yea look at social media and arrest me.

    The dumbest thing said about abortion and Women's rights in this thread.

     

    Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi: “Abortion is a blessing; abortion is an act of love; abortion is freedom”


    You missed reading my post:

     

    2. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

     

    A guy thought hey if you get raped the body just stops you from getting pregnant.

    2. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
     

    3. Who needs abortion when victims of sexual assault can just get “cleaned out” by a rape kit?
     

    4. Women shouldn’t terminate pregnancies resulting from rape because it’s what God intended.
     

    9. Ban abortions because of ***** fetuses.
