So you slither away with your chastising of Trump, and instead recognize it was a congress of hundreds of our representatives. So your aspersions about Trump were misdirected. I am about to be angry like you liberals get. Oh Lord, please don’t let me loose my cool.
The thread was about Gaetz. He's too dumb to do his job or he's lying to you. Which is it?

Uhhhh, ‘technically’ correct?????? Is that a slither tip off? How about just correct?
The Trump distraction started when Mott wanted to give Trump-o credit for putting money in people's bank accounts. Yes, very large checks were written by Trump (free money!! Remember?) using money that the federal government had to borrow. Let's give Trump credit. Now you point out, that technically, he didn't authorize the payments, Congress did. So does Trump not get credit for writing the checks? Either way a huge debt of gratitude. Thanks for the deficit spending Trump. Or not. Either way, good job.

Hey Joe, here’s a classic example of GOP Congressional stupidity: they’re planning on cutting funds to the IRS. Funds which would allow the IRS to audit suspicious tax cheaters and bring in more revenue. How dumb is that ??

A typical political move, putting his name on the checks, totally legal, and done to get votes.
Now, HOW does Biden get votes??????????? He erases our border (there can be no country without a border, look it up).
Then he swarms our society with people who will vote for him, because ALL of their freebies and mindset lead directly to Biden. So, Trump legally put his name on something, and Biden's Border Crisis, (to get votes, stay with me here....) is costing our country billions. You are all so shallowminded. I hereby claim this post as winning this entire debate.

Back up.....Dumb was their plan to hire more agents to come after hard-working Americans. That is all I see, and find it fruitless to debate the dumbness of stopping something that was Dumb in the first place.
Thankyou very much.

Now ask me another question, I answer questions. I do reserve the right, if one of you asserts a Biden activity, that I be allowed to say whatabout Trump. It seems necessary, because you lock-step libs have to be straightened out witih every one one of your random un-closed posts.

Where do you get this delusion that rich people work harder than anyone else?

I've never seen any rich people do any actual work.

"And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

What he meant was fight for HIM. At the Capitol.

Incitement to Insurrection. For stupid people, anyways.



I still say that the invasion of our House of Representatives by the MAGA fools is way more of a crisis than the border. Solve the first and the second magically disappears (because it's not happening).

about Gaetz is this:

a) he demands fiscal responsibility and spending cuts,

and

b) he adulates Donald Trump.


But then-president Trump ran up the third highest national debt of any U.S. president in history, and that was already before COVID hit; private citizen Trump bankrupted five companies (how can you bankrupt a casino??). Trump is a financial disaster area.

So, how is it that Gaetz doesn't get it??

I have never written, nor ever thought, that the rich work harder, implying that those who 'work harder' should make more money.
If I invest (risk) $20,000 into a load of clay and straw, and prepare to make bricks for sale, I have not worked very hard. Just pointed at materials, a delivery truck, and signed for the bank loan.
Then, I sit back and watch 10 employees, working hard, each making $20 an hour. In a year, they make $40k. In that same year, after expenses, I take home $280,000.
If you see something wrong with this picture, I would LOVE to hear your studied, well thought-out non-ascerbic opinion. Please, please, nothing cute like Suziane, which would render your post impotent.
Ohhhh, I just saw,.,..you ARE Suzianne. Lucky me!

It is like Moonbus et al are suggesting ..."Boy that is too much. It will be good to get the next president to stop spending so much money, it can never be that high again!!!"
Yeah, right.

Put Moonbus down as wanting to hire 79,000 IRS agents to try to find any monies owed by our average citizens. They will probably hit my cousiin Ernie for about $750 he'd overlooked....or, zounds, tried to hide. He will have to pay it because he can't afford to defend it.

It depends a bit on which statistics one looks at. By one account, first is Lincoln, second is Bush Jr., due to financing wars in both cases. Trump managed to squander himself into third place without that excuse.
