Eh, what a bunch of tripe.   But on the bolded you have me genuinely confused. You and a lot of other people seem to think it's getting a big one over on everyone to use a well understood code instead of just saying Fuck Joe Biden - Why?  We know you aren't sensitive about the word Fuck you used it liberally on the 'fuck your feelings' t-shirts and we know you aren't shy about disparaging Biden, so why the need for a code?

The financial community certainly mentions the costs, which went up after the dodd-frank act...a piece legislation following the great recession meant to protect the public, but overly burdensome...and then as we always do, parts of what were effective were rolled back a few years without really reducing the burden.

Instead of a simple plan, its turned into a mess of different proposals, probably thousands of pages long.

You would think that the Republicans would be super happy.

No VAT.   

No increase in fuel taxes.

More deficit-financed expenditure increases.    That in particular has to appeal to the Marxist-Keynesians in the Republican party.


The current impasse reminds of former prime minister Stephan Harper lamenting not so long ago how it was far more difficult for US federal politicians to get anything done than it was for him as prime minister to get stuff done with a minority government.

If you enter illegally, that makes your presence here illegal.

But then again, you do not believe in borders in the first place.

Judge Jeanine reveals who she believes is running the White House  — Fox News


She is getting paid top dollar to do this, eh?

Question:  Is Jeanine really stoopid?  Or is Jeanine really well paid to treat her audience as if they were stoopid?

Speculative (fiction). Biden might have also used Obama's pandemic playbook. Or not.

Now that is an interesting perspective.  Scott, you would make a great backroom boy.   Except I am not sure that anybody in the Trump Republican party would listen.
