DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 30 Posts: 2515 | They knew about the pseudonyms of the Godfather a couple of years ago. Federal records' law. A legal "obligation". But I think the precedent has already been set with Hillary's private email server. In other words, it's not OK to communicate on behalf of the government privately but they won't press charges if you're on a different justice tier. ---------------------- Veep Joe Biden skirted ‘no see’ mail law with private accounts: Devine July 23, 2021 . . . John Solomon, founder of the Just the News media organization, drew comparisons this week between Joe Biden’s use of private e-mail addresses and Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server, pointing out that, under federal records law, the then-vice president had an obligation to preserve all emails involving his government work. . . . https://nypost.com/2021/07/23/vp-joe-biden-skirted-no-see-mail-law-with-private-accounts-devine/ ----------------------- |

Thanks so much for only allowing the cost of living to go up $709 a month for all those regular Joe's out there. The President's misnamed (as he stated) Inflation Reduction Act spending is being offset by the Fed raising interest rates and slowing the economy. I listened to a Democrat the other day explain that deficit spending or forgiving student loans only helps people and hurts no one since the money is not being collected from anyone. That is going well with our credit being downgraded and interest rates going up. I don't want Biden to remain President after the election, but I do want the economy to stay strong and for inflation to go lower. |

The Tea Party (prequel to the Trump party) pursued the "power of the purse" argument where all this debt downgrading threat really amped up a lot with heavy stonewalling, which directly woke the credit rating agencies to downgrade. Maybe the Democrats might have done it on their own, but no thanks to the Tea Party for bringing on that nonsense. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

So both sides are bad? I am not sure how we control spending because both parties have gone way out of control with it. The lack of any desire to make real compromises on issues and the inability of any leaders in Congress to keep them in session without recesses until they actually do something. The reason Congress has a 33% or so approval rating is obvious and the rating is well earned. The Marine Corps is without a confirmed Commandant (has other services have no confirmed leader at this point also). One Senator is holding up all Flag officer promotions, which is within each Senator's power. I disagree with him, but it is a tactic that is used by Senators to protest something. The Majority Leader could, and should, move to hold individual hearings to confirm at least the heads of the various services. He also could schedule hearings for EVERY flag nominee and keep the Senate at work to overcome the obstacle. Maybe it is politically more expedient to play the game but we do need the leaders of our military in place. I'm not going to give my House or both chambers examples, but I think Congress has been poorly run for years. Back to Biden...he's just not that good at his job. |

We don’t. Neither side actually cares about controlling spending. Republicans only pretend to when they are out of power. When they have control of government they spend like drunken sailors. Time to stop the charade and keep spend, baby, spending. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

What nonsense? Pointing out how many trillions we waste? I say keep downgrading it! Maybe it wakes things up. The President is a fink. |
