Ironic that solar panels are made cheaply using Chinese slave labor. The same Chinese slave labor that Democrats bury their heads in the sand about constantly. And Democrat lawmakers push to increase imports from China and end the tariffs which completely undermines any increase in American solar panel production.

:lol: That rat bastard Biden!

Kerry isn't wrong - he and others can learn another skill and find another job. The hypocrisy comes if the Donks let Chinese companies undercut the market and inhibit the development of solar jobs in America.

To find another job, this guy and others like him are likely going to have to move. While I have no problem with that expectation it should also be applied to people who are unemployed for other reasons. There are jobs out there but you might have to make sacrifices like moving to get them. Americans have moved to pursue prosperity for hundreds of years, why is it now an unreasonable expectation?

In this case you had union leadership hyping Biden* claiming he'd stick up for their jobs...then Biden* used his pen and phone and eliminated the jobs that these union leaders were supposedly fighting for. Hard to feel sorry for anyone that bought in to what the union leadership was selling them.

I wonder how badly Trump's tariffs hurt union jobs in 4 years compared to Biden's pen in 1 day.

Good question. From my anecdotal view, not much. Our construction projects were going gangbusters before and after the tariffs. Biggest issue we encountered were costs of materials increasing and longer lead times for certain items coming in from China. I suppose that meant less work at the docks/transport companies until non-Chinese suppliers were found.

Help! Help! A conservative is being cancelled!!!
Hello, I am a congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives, and it has come to my attention that some want to see newly elected Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene expelled from Congress.

While I may not agree with everything the Georgia lawmaker says, I think expulsion is wholly unwarranted. After all, who among us hasn’t, from time to time, openly supported the execution of some of our colleagues?

Has Rep. Greene embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory about a global cabal of liberal child abusers, claimed that school shootings such as the one in Parkland, Florida, were staged and probably spent time in the produce section of her local grocery store screaming at organic radishes because she thinks they’re communists? Yes, definitely on the first two things, and probably on the last one.

But what about the things she does and thinks about that aren’t insane? Things like debt reduction, maybe. Or getting tough on immigration in ways that don’t involve murder, possibly.

:rofl: That's some good satire.

Questions for you:
  • How far in the past or how young does a political/thought leader have to be to say or do something vile for it to be forgivable? I ask because liberals have no problem with the things that Bobby Rush said and did. They defended Obama's relationship with Jeremiah Wright.
  • Are they outraged because of what MTG said or is the true source of their outrage who her target was? It's ok to target wealthy white elites but it is absolutely not ok to target crusading social justice warriors such as AOChe.

1) I don't know. Whether or not it disqualifies a candidate is up to voters. In the case of MTG, it's up to her fellow congressional caucus or in the case of impeachment, the entire congress. I'll add that MTG continuing to remain in the spotlight might not be the best thing for Republicans.

2) People have less of a problem with punching sideways or up than down. I do think threats will be taken more seriously after Jan. 6th. And yes, this includes Maxine Waters. Targeting with suggestions of violence similar to what MTG said is not something I've seen AOChe levy at white elites.

What MTG said was reprehensible and it's definitely bad for the Republican Party for her to remain in the spotlight.

People have less of a problem with punching sideways or up than down but they're also more likely to overlook or rationalize inflammatory statements and actions by people they agree or sympathize with.

Has AOChe not encouraged/supported the BLM/AnTiFa rioters? Have they not targeted white elites (in restaurants, outside their homes, etc.)?

I’m sure she encouraged/supported protestors. Don’t remember her doing the same with rioters. Or that she encouraged confrontation against any specific color. Could be wrong though.
