China doesn't create jack. Everything that they sell was stolen from another business who innovates.

This is terribly naive, and underestimating reality. The idea China doesn't innovate is... decades out of date.

Shapiro is the "right's" king pseudo-intellectual. Boring.

Trump can just declare the debt fraudulent and it goes away with no impact on anything.

Cheap version of Krugman’s ‘Mint a $40 trillion coin and *poof* the debt goes away’ plan. At least Paul want to create the illusion of a trinket.

Massie lost because we are in the middle of an ideology war with people who hate what our country represents. They have been trying for a decade to turn our country into a socialist communist country.

---

Yep. That’s true.

quote:

---

On "The Daily Show" Monday night, the liberal comic told self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders that Trump is carrying out the Vermont senator's "revolution."

"You could almost make a case that the true inheritor of the Sanders revolution is Trump," Stewart said.

"He is the most socialist president of my lifetime."

"Taking a percentage of companies to do business? That's a Bernie Sanders idea. Doing TrumpRx where the government is involved in selling pharmaceuticals? That's a Bernie Sanders idea."

Then Stewart doubled down.

"Is it frustrating that the thing that you fought for your whole career, Democrats are the ones who run away from scared and Trump has embraced some of it?" he asked.

People are sick and fricking tired of these communists trying to overthrow our country

We have two DS parties now. Which one you want?

:lol:

It’s why i’m so entertained when they throw
out the “you hate Trump and have TDS” It’s so similar to when VegasBengal or BamaATL would throw out “you’re just a racist!” with any criticism of Obama back in the day. Exact. Same. Pathology.

Shame. I should try to find it but search here is such a pain.

SFP forgives. No need for self-immolation.

I wasn’t asking for forgiveness :lol: Nor am I ashamed. My views on Trump changed from watching his actions instead of his words. I think that thread started right around the time I was like “hey, wait sec…”

quote:

---

No, no, no, no! I was called a LIAR because I said Massie voted for Biden's Spending bill, which he did.

---

I’m not sure where to start. The claim has consistently been that Massie provided the tie-breaking vote for the bill. He did not. (sorry I didn’t ELY5 rhe 314 votes quip) I clearly overestimated you.

Second, it wasn’t a “spending bill” it was a debt ceiling bill.

Budgetary Impact

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the act would reduce projected budget deficits by roughly \(\$1.5\) trillion over the 10-year period from 2024 to 2033, primarily by capping discretionary spending and scaling back certain government programs.

---

Oh the horror! Meanwhile, Trump backed CR’ing Biden’s budget 3x Remind me again who voted for “Biden’sspending”?

quote:

---

This ain't about Trump.

---

Of course not. No one expects him to have any ideological consistency. :lol:

quote:

---

Your boy Massie was only principled when it came to Trump.

---

Still more principled on spending Trump had :lol:

It's legit fascinating to watch in real time

Yep. I started posting here to try and figure out what made leftists (the board was waaaay left at one time) believe the
irrational things they believed.

Dammit if SealTeam47 didn’t come along and top them. :lol:
