Biden's Biggest Blunder

Quote: Evenbob

Was just hearing about the gigantic tax increases on Utilities in this 3.5 trillion dollar debacle of a bill before Congress. The reason for the increases are so will be encouraged to 'go green' but the reason the taxes are really there is so Democrats can use the money to load pork in the future. This is what global warming is all about, squeezing money out of the public for a crisis that does not exist. If these taxes pass within just a couple of years it will almost double electric bills in heavy air conditioning states like Nevada Florida Arizona and most southern states. Who will this affect the most, poor people of course who can barely pay their bills now. This is the liberal hivemind at work, pretend you're doing something that's good for the people when it's actually good for you.

Why are we ranting about 3.5 trillion? I thought Manchin and Sinema were a no for a price tag that high…

*zero attention to FOX News

The right’s obsession with Haitians is starting to give me 2018 “caravan” flashbacks. Gotta rile up the base with the idea of non-white people seeking a better life!

For awhile, FOX had been so disenchanted with Trump (we know he has no real friends, just payed ones) and kind of gone mild on the left for the most part. But they're back on full blast now from what I've seen.

Yes, it was. Most of the world lined up behind on of the two superpowers. A worldwide geopolitical chess game. Just no direct battles except between the USA and China.



But we do not have the drive and stomach to win.



China could shut down the supply chain that our military relies on. But the real thing is Americans do not have what it takes to win. Consider if today's America would even allow the enemy to be called Krauts and Japs? About 40% of the population would have what it takes but 30-40% are so PC that they would not support any kind of war for any length of time. They would call the war "racist!" Remember that even after 9/11 we had this group asking what we did to make them attack us.

The America that was described in the opening of "Patton" no longer exists.

Well, needless to say, I respectfully disagree. I hope that we have the stomach to win, and I think that we do. That being said I hope we never have to find out. Because another World War will be very bad for humanity and the earth (almost certain to go nuclear)...

As for being PC, I have no problem with rallying people around an American identity, but in that period of time America made some mistakes (nothing on the scale of Germany or Japan, let me be clear America even with its wrongs had the moral high ground in WWII, no sane person should dispute this), but we did discriminate against Japanese and even Germans, many were detained on suspicions of maybe being a spy (and to be slightly fair there were some elements of truth in some cases, but it still does not make it right). I don't think we should hate the enemy blindly because of their race (or nationality maybe more accurately).

That being said we should be able to call out problems that threaten America. I see Islam as a problem, some people (even on the left) call this racist (which is absurd for many reasons), but ideologies that promote non-liberal ideals need to be called out (even if it is the 2nd most popular religion in the world). Its not a race or demographic thing, I say the same about scientologists (who are almost all rich white people, at least the ones most Americans think of).

As for people after 9/11 asking what America did to deserve it, I have two words for them, which I cannot say here.

We might have succeeded in Afghanistan if we firebombed Taliban strongholds like we did Dresden and Tokyo. We do not have the stomach for that. When you fight a war one thing you do is blockade the ports of the other nation totally. These days we let in "food and medicine." And you must make the other nations people seem subhuman so you do not care about killing them. Instead of killing "people" you kill Japs, Krauts, and Gooks. If today's America saw the headline "JAPS BOMB PEARL HARBOR" 45% of the country would be crying that the headline was "racist" and sympathize with the enemy.

It's over for America winning big wars.

Well, as I said another "big war" would be very bad for the globe even if we "win" (which we probably would based on nuclear capability).

So let's hope that we never find out.

However, calling people slurs won't help us win any war (or anything else). I just don't see the point in this aspect of your comment. We have many great people of all races and nationalities in America (including our military), no need for division on these grounds....

I would be all for it. To me just seeing how it would play out would be fascinating and worth the death toll in my opinion.

You do not see it because you are woke. I explained it and you do not see it. You have to hate your enemy, not think that they are just misguided. In WWII we knew the Germans were a problem and the more we killed the better for our chances to win the war. Today woke people would be saying, "well, Hitler is bad but not every German is bad!"

You cannot win a war thinking that way. Why do you think the Army got people to want to kill "Krauts and Japs?" Because when you think of your enemy as human you cannot win a war! Can you see what I am trying to explain here?

Meanwhile it appears Joe Biden is guilty of tax evasion!

See, this is why liberals do not mind higher taxes. They do not intend to pay them!

Looks like news on Forgotastan has already dropped way down on the news radar. Anyone surprised? Even on Fox. Maybe they'll still do special reports on Tucker or Hannity. I can't sit through those enough to find out. Even they won't follow it if there something more exciting like smelly Hunter Biden poop.

They're back on the border issue and other things Biden.

When the 79 Year Old House Plant is doing so many things poorly, it is definitely tough for the News Media to keep up.
The Polls do continue to notice as his ratings keep plummeting. But we all know those don't matter.
