SectionC3

Enjoy the tax giveaways for the rich. And the monster deficits that flow therefrom that are going to weaken the value of your hard earned. Maybe trickle down will actually work someday. I doubt it, but every once in awhile a blind squirrel gets a nut.

J6 But do we need the Marines? No. Did the governor ask for the Marines or the National Guard? No. And if we're so eager to employ the National Guard, then why not have done so on J6? It's a manufactured crisis. Violence is not the solution. There are rioters in addition to protesters here, and the rioters are wrong. They should not harm or threaten to harm LEOs. For that they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Same thing goes for property damage. Can't happen. It is not the way. So too is the response wrong. Putting aside the rank hypocrisy in employing the National Guard here, but not on J6, the President is supposed to be a voice of calm and reason. There simply is no reason for the federal government to intercede in this way and at this juncture in what is principally a local matter.

Well said, and accurate. The proof will be in the pudding when the "Bush" Republicans get the party back and the Democrats return to emphasizing economic populism as opposed to fringe social issues. Will MAGA vote Democrat? Or will it have been so poisoned by Trump's lies and vitriol that it continues to largely vote against its own economic interests? Time will tell.

Hoax. Are you the DC coroner? Nope. Just a loser in a basement somewhere.

That's one. Still waiting on the buildings. Now do the number of officers who died as a result of J6. Before I get more MAGA faux outrage, the point is this. No violence is good violence. But MAGA has more than a tinge of hypocrisy in whitewashing J6 and then complaining about things like what happened yesterday in Southern California and even the summer of 2020.

J6 was an attempt to defeat the peaceful transfer of power. Also, during this "summer of love" of which you speak (an interesting moniker, inasmuch as Trump has alluded to J6 as a day of "love"), which federal buildings (plural) were "destroyed?" Your words. Also, which police officers were "killed" during those protests? Again, your words. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the number is a big fat zero for both.

In every case, eh?. It was BS then and it’s BS now. Keep on shoveling it for him.

Oh yeah. I would be disappointed if someone didn't furnish that apparel for him.

At least you're throwing around something besides HCQ these days. And yet Trump pardoned every J6 participant. While I completely agree with what Dan says here, I wonder how that correlates with the Trump pardons of all J6 insurrectionists.

I actually don't disagree that it has to come up. Raising it to 69 seems perhaps extreme (I believe that's the number in the BBB, but could be wrong). One wonders why Republicans don't simply increase the top marginal tax rate to, say, 39.6% and use some of those monies to fund social security. But hey, it's MAGA's show now.

Two posts in a row without a cartoon. Shocking and amazing at the same time.

Inasmuch as it is not a cartoon I am surprised that you posted it.

TACO's been absent the last few days. What's up with him? Earlier lids than Biden. Maybe he's too sleepy to go to work. Or even play golf.

So you support the pardoning of domestic terrorists? Sick. From the guy who loves Russia and laps up whatever Putin says.

Hoax. Trump is failing. He talks a big game, but he can't even keep up with Obama's pace. This is what happens when the incompetents take over.

Taco man strikes again!

None of us, including me, is perfect. And I have my own issues to worry about. This chick, however, is gonna have a problem with St. Peter at the pearly gates.

Domestic terrorism is a bigger problem than foreign terrorism. You should worry about that more. Like J6, for example. Big domestic problem. And Trump pardoned all of the criminals.

It’s a great day! Probably better than yours. You seem angrier than usual. I’m sorry life didn’t work out for you in the way that you hoped. Maybe if you worked a little harder you wouldn’t be so mad all the time. Cheers!

Here’s my guess: he’s gone. The Patriots will shut up about it in the meantime because Diggs will grieve the release and the team won’t want the failed physical to seem pretextual in advance of the release.

This is not good. But it's not nearly as bad as J6, which a lot of the hysterical MAGA here seem to have forgotten about.

But has he negotiated? And what has the negotiation yielded? No and nothing are the answers. the Wall Street guys who coined this aren’t partisans. They’re capitalists. If this guy made them money they wouldn’t give a hoot about his moral failings and general incompetence. But he’s not doing that. And they found a clever way to explain his vapid economic approach.

? I think they want to sell. And believe me, if I was trying to cut the line I wouldn’t do it that way.

I sort of figured this out without saying as much. I capitulated last time this fool was in office. Then I bought back in, and probably cost myself in the process. Now, I just stay the course. At this point nothing this clown says is of any consequence, so if I ignore it while others react to it I'll come out ahead. The only thing that comment says is that you're a loser. Who friggin cares who someone else loves. Frankly I'd be surprised if anyone loved you. But if they do, then good for both of you. I don't care if you're into a dude, a chick, a furry, whatever. Find joy and leave everyone else alone.

Define government assistance. It's probably broader than you think. For example, I work in the legal field. I see and know of tons of MAGA-types getting free lawyers--through Legal Aid, Assigned Counsel, conflict defender, federal public defender, VLP, AFCs. You name it, they take it. That's all taxpayer funded, with the exception of VLP, which is volunteer. But I'm the "evil Democrat" who admittedly has used state education and government-sponsored student loans (of which I paid back every penny), and has otherwise never taken a dime of public assistance. According to these penniless fools, I'm also the leech. It's quite something, actually. I can't say that I totally disagree with that. There's a lot of laziness, apathy, unwillingness to work, and frankly absence of shame. But here's the thing: I see that I a lot of people who are now MAGA. Ever watch thousand pound sisters? The next day those slobs work will be the first. Dollars to donuts (if the sisters don't get them first), the majority of those jelly rollers are MAGA voters. They think it's the fault of the immigrants and the Democrats that they're losers. Hill and trailer country in Erie County is no different. Don't like your lot in life? Stop getting banged up at the fire hall three nights a week and get another job. But they don't, and they won't, and they'll continue to blame everyone else for their obesity and health problems while on the inevitable path to Medicaid and Medicare.
