What does that mean, “zero policy at the national level”? There was a SHITLOAD of policy accomplishments in Trumps 4 years. Exactly what has Biden and the Dems “accomplished”?kalm wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 12:43 pm^^^^. He’s right.

You're right. I don't like Trump. But it is more than that. We have a serious problem in that we have a significant proportion of the population that would vote for somebody like that. We also have a major political Party that, Trump or no Trump, recognizes that it is in trouble due to demographic trends and is responding by doing things like trying to repress voting by groups that tend to vote for the other Party and setting it up so that partisan bodies can manipulate the election results.
The Republican Party, and the fact that we have a lot of people willing so support a Party like that, is a big problem for this country right now. If you want a free society governed through the Will of the People, you don't want the Republican Party having power. Not if you have any sense.
Then there’s the D’s, politically incompetent to not avoid stepping on their own dicks.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
And we have the OTHER political party, that recognizes its in trouble due to the fact nobody with a brainstem likes their polices or hard move to the left, so they do things like open the borders and allow millions of illegals into the country, push for allowing illegals to vote, push for allowing convicted felons to vote, push to allow dead people to vote, push to allow people to vote multiple times….but yeah, they’re fucking choirboys.JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 12:35 pmYou're right.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Nice work if you can find it…
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... ZOE_9cHh8sA Texas man was sentenced to nine years in prison after fraudulently obtaining $1.6m in Covid-19 relief loans and spending it on a Lamborghini sports car and other luxury items.
In March 2020, then president Donald Trump signed a $2tn emergency relief and spending bill to alleviate economic stresses faced by individuals, businesses and healthcare facilities. The DoJ has since prosecuted more than 150 defendants in more than 95 cases for attempts to defraud the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
In Texas, Lee Price III, 30, pleaded guilty in September to charges of wire fraud and money laundering, according to the US Department of Justice.
Price submitted multiple fraudulent PPP loan applications with banks across the US and on behalf of three entities. The DoJ did not specify how Price was connected to the companies.
Price also submitted fraudulent tax records and applied for a loan using the name of an individual who died shortly before the application was submitted, the DoJ said in a statement.
Price sought more than $2.6m in loans and received more than $1.6m. According to prosecutors, he bought a $233,000 2019 Lamborghini Urus and a $14,000 Rolex watch and spent $2,000 on a trip to a Houston strip club.
He also used government money to buy a Ford F-350 truck and pay off a loan on a property. The DoJ and law enforcement partners seized more than $700,000 of the funds Price obtained.
According to officials, more than $75m has been seized back from fraudulent PPP claims. Some cases have made national headlines.

Do these two groups and their supporters understand the parallels?

To be fair, there's not a lot those two groups truly understand. They're both snowflakes, victims and cry-babies.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I forget where I was reading it, but one site was bitching about her "different stances" on COVID. Essentially, they were pissed she wasn't all in on their stance. I listened to her and she seemed totally reasonable on the subject on both CNN and Fox. Essentially she was for vaccines, but didn't agree with mandates and this got her labeled as a traitor.
