I remember senator Pat Toomey had an office in Philadelphia he was never at and you could rarely get anyone on the phone there either. They don’t give a shit about their constituents.
Maybe this is for the best. Someone who would abandon a dog at an airport shouldn’t own the dog in the first place. I couldn’t even imagine giving up my dogs. I love them so much. I’ve already lost two dogs in my life (through old age) and the pain was as great as losing humans I love.
I mean both the US and China have slaves in their country but have big heavy political dicks they swing around to make it less talked about. We’re both “bad people”.
The US owes China a fuck ton of money.
When bad folks have people in their debt and need money, they do bad things to collect their debt.
China isn’t gonna get poor watching the US squander the ~trillion of dollars they loaned us without a fight.
Maybe if we, idk, taxes our billionaires? Nah, ‘too difficult’. Okay, so war then? Great.
The USA debt to China is, I think, part of foreign policy. It keeps China at the table and they’ll never be able to break from globalism/the west cleanly because of it. If they ever invaded Taiwan, which I don’t think is likely, the USA would wipe all foreign debt to China as part of the sanctions package. You have to play nice (nice enough) if you want your money back.
I agree with a lot of your comment, but the debt is beneficial to us. It’s not at all the same concept as “Can we please borrow some money? We promise to pay it back when we can.”
It’s much more akin to “we have a business proposition for you that will benefit both parties. And while we’re engaging in business, let’s talk about some other important things too”. It’s profitable for both parties and is an important part of proactive diplomacy.
Don’t both-sides this. Republicans are overflowing with scandals and staying in office even though the evidence of their guilt is in the public record.
Republicans are trying to muddy the water by accusing Biden of corruption, but if you’ll notice, they have ZERO evidence to back it up.
If you actually care and you want to push some good policies what would you do? Run independent and have no shot or make won’t moral compromises and run as a Democrat? Idk what I would do honestly. But the Republican platform is literally big business and authoritarian control. There’s no intention in not trying to keep corrupting the system when someone runs for that party.
Republicans are insane fascists, racist, assholes but if you think democrats aren’t pro big business I have an igloo in Florida to sell you. All their insider trading, meat riding big tech until a year or two ago, and forgiving PPP loans to mega corps screams pro big business to me.
Corrupt or not, Biden is every bit as self-interested and neglectful to the poor and middle class as every Democrat since Carter.
He’s a shitty president, and the fact that he’s done absolutely nothing meaningful as cost-of-living has risen 30% to 50% for most Americans is going to get a open fascist elected in 2024.
I mean, the article you mentioned name drops Biden a lot, but the only citation to anything related to him is just a quote from a speech. It feels like an AI wrote it, haha.
Did he actually do anything meaningful to help the UPS negotiations?
We can confirm he hasn’t done anything meaningful to change the minimum wage. He hasn’t done anything meaningful to make our health care system less predatory. He hasn’t done anything meaningful to stop the forced scarcity of the housing supply. Over his decades in Washington, he’s done a lot to help the prison industry keep its prisons full and to make student borrowers permanently indebted, and I’ll never get over how he promised $2000 checks if voters delivered Georgia. and then sent out $1400 checks (of our own money) instead.
Apart from managing to cobble together a few pretty sentences (granted, a huge feat for a Biden) what has he done that helps the poor and middle class as a whole in any meaningful way?
I guess we should just be excited that he keeps finding ways to send hundreds of billions of our tax dollars off to some other country’s war instead.
Your statement represents a child’s perspective, it lacks any and all nuance. It almost demands a Harry Potter spell from a president to show a direct result that immediately follows a flash, a bang and a puff of smoke - that’s not how it works.
It’s a trap to try to get someone to defend Biden with passion, but he’s far from a bad president. You show your ass multiple times in your statement though and it’s pretty clear where you stand generally. You’re not a serious person.
‘Sherri Tenpenny, an osteopathic doctor who says she’s been researching for 21 years vaccine adverse events, testified before a legislative committee this week that people can stick keys, spoons and forks to their foreheads after getting the coronavirus vaccine possibly because they’ve been magnetized.’
Yeah keys are brass or nickel and brass. Both are non-ferrous.
It is irrelevant, but some (not all) of my keys here in Germany are magnetic. I know because I have a magnet board for my keys to hang on. That being said, she’s fucking crazy. It’s a simple test that you can disprove… and if this was true, oh God what MRI machine would do to someone. If they were so strongly magnetic that things could stuck to the, they would be torn apart.
Was going to get an MRI on my brain, but was worried about the steel clip that was used for my vasectomy. The tech said, “Just let us know if you feel anything tingle once you get in the room.” I literally walked into the room with both hands firmly on my junk, knowing full well that it wouldn’t change anything.
Long story short, the metal clips they use are non-ferrous. :)
The article ends with this? Is it a hint at twitter employees to do like what that truth social employee did here, especially next year?
Twitter, now known as X, made the decision because it feared Trump might incite further violence on the heels of the Capitol riot by a mob of his supporters two days earlier.
Isn’t it also the fact that everything he touches explodes and ends up being an unsafe product? I’d rather buy any other brand before buying Tesla, even regardless of his extremely unlikable personality and dumbass choices.
