...and in other news

I’d be curious if that small little group of Senators who flew over to Ukraine has anything to do with Zelenskyy being defiant.

You will note that Jeff "laughed" at the Rubio post. He laughed at Rubio of all people - a guy who was confirmed unanimously by the Deep State. Remarkably, Jeff is to the left of Chuck U-turn Schumer. Imagine, a "Reagan conservative" in 1980 who today is to the left of Chuck U. And he claims he won't vote for JB in 4 years, LOL.

JHC, who cares? There are probably 2 trans Para athletes in the world.

And yet people on your side of the aisle are fighting the good fight for that tiny part of the population. You realize that she is saying that Olympians and Paralympians should compete against each other, right? You have no problem with that? Your party is on the race to zero. Let's make everything worse for everyone, in the quest for equality.

I keep hearing there are almost none, yet the Dems are out fighting to keep that small % in women's spaces. Odd isn't it?
 
The rebate checks might be popular, but are counter to lowering inflation and balancing the budget. I hope they do that next year assuming they can accomplish their fiscal goals this year.
Correct, however, if you refund 20 percent of the savings, you are still cutting 4 out of 5 dollars and the remaining dollar is being spent more responsibly.

I'm for it as it gives the American people "skin in the game" which leads to more support for cutting grotesque spending (which Jeff supports).
 
Rubio is anti-Russian until he needs to kiss Trumps butt. The only reason Trump put him in that position is because Trump learned from his first campaign and ultimate suck up by Rubio, that Rubio is a coward, and a weinie. He will do whatever Trump wants him to do. Actually, I guess that describes every Cabinet member.
You can be anti-Russian and anti-dictator Zelensky. Rubio doesn't like to be screwed with (like you) and has the backing of a president who also won't be screwed over.

Once again, it appears your public fetish is death and destruction at any cost to the American taxpayer.
 


This feels like a trend. South American theft groups getting busted all over the country.

South American theft groups (gangs) were busted for the high profile athlete robberies in recent months, too.

I’d love to see a breakdown of how much our new neighbors have cost the city of Denver, and the state of Colorado.

Maybe try paying attention to what Vance and Rubio have been saying? They've made the point that for the past three years, no one in Washington (or elsewhere) has been able to bring Russia to the table to discuss Ukraine which is the necessary first step to ending this senseless war. Now, all of a sudden, they seem to be coming to the table. Why do you contine to think this is a Bad Thing?
 
When people are in nasty disputes, the agent trying to end the dispute rarely meets with both sides together, for initial arguments.

Divorce, contact negotiations, etc. The two parties are typically negotiated with separately, and then the agent tries to bring them together for an agreement.

Why would anyone think Putin and Zelensky would sit down for a nice conversation with Trump present? Figure out what both sides want, and then see if you can broker an agreement.

Jeff is or will be a resident of FL. He will need to vote in Florida. He will turn it blue.

Also, I have Jeff blocked so I don't notice much of his drivel unless you guys respond to him or mention him. There isn't much point in discussing things with people who are riding the crazy train.
 
The budget cuts and balancing the budget are all performative. For show only, and meaningless. Budget deficit will rise more under Trump than any President, like first term. The miniscule cuts are offset many thousands of times by the 3-4 Trillion in debt he will add by cutting taxes for Millionaires-Billionaires.

You don't think there is a single budget cut that could be made, that is meaningful?

That's quite the position for you, and your party, to take. No one with any ounce of curiosity believes that. It makes people who repeat that line seem unbelievable.

Well, the deck is stacked against every incoming administration as every year the interest alone increases in dollars and percent of the budget. I am not sure downplaying hundreds of billions to potentially over a trillion in waste, fraud and abuse is smart politics. I do believe the left will continue off this cliff. So, kudos!

I just think kicking this til 2026 is better timing. Reduce wasteful spending and inflation in 2025.

Then rebate checks in 2026 before the midterms :)

The is the end and disastrous result of relativism. It's like saying it's okay to drive 110 mph down the freeway because hardly anyone does it anyway. If they crash and kill someone then at least it only rarely happens.

You are wrong again. It is like repeatedly ad nauseum discussing and worrying about the number of drivers that exceed 110 mph. It is relative as the amount of time, worry and discussion about trans athletes is out of all proportion to the number out there. It brings to mind the RW politicians and the preachers fearmongering about pedophilia, and then they get busted as they are the pedophiles.

My guess is many, many people could use the cash infusion to offset the Biden-flation and Biden genocide of the American Hen population. While Trump implements policies to bring down inflation (cutting spending, cutting government, installing oil & gas infrastructure, opening the Gulf of America, etc.), this throws a lifeline to those who supported him who need something now. If the money comes from money that is saved, the inflationary aspect should be greatly lessened. If it is "new" money, it is fuel on the fire.

No actually, in those situations you always tart out in a group setting go as far as mediator thinks is productive, otherwise the missing party has no trust in the process. "if you are not at the table, you are on the table. Subsequently, you may be separated at times, and brought back together at times, as is productive. You are buying the RW talking point.

Wrong - it is an 80 / 20 issue and sadly, Democrats in this country are still well above 20 percent - but getting closer to that number every day!!! (Thanks to people like you advocating for men in women's sports).

I can promise you I’m not out dominating women’s sports.

1 - “It’s not happening”
2 - “it hardly ever happens”
3 - “who cares if it happens regularly, you guys are the only ones that care”

Every single time. They did this with the border too.

No, I’m talking about real uncomfortable negotiations.

When there is a nasty divorce, others do the communicating. You don’t have the two sides just shout at each other and hope a deal falls into place.

Even with athlete contract negotiations, the player and owner don’t meet. They both want the best deal, so they have a broker work it out between both parties.

This is very common. If Zelensky wants to meet with Putin, go right ahead. No one is stopping him.

I agree with you here - Ukraine is on the table. They are in no way a decision maker in this process. HOWEVER, if stupid Zelensky would accept paying back the US money via rare Earth minerals, the US suddenly becomes his biggest advocate with a huge interest in Russia not controlling that territory.

He does have that power. Will he FAFO?

I don’t have a problem with Trump meeting with Russia first. If after meeting with Russia, Trump would have said something like, it was a productive meeting and now I will talk with Ukraine. That is fine.

However, after the meeting, Trump said Russia was right and Ukraine was wrong. What kind of fair mediation is that? It is laughable.

I'm not obsessing over drivers who go 110 mph. I also don't think it's okay to do this because, at some point, they are going to kill someone.

But it's clear you are a relativist. In this line of thinking, there really isn't such thing as right and wrong outside of what you think on any given day.

Their argument is criminals break laws, and that putting rules in place regarding “trans women” is meaningless. Bad people will break rules regardless so it’s meaningless to put them in place.

Of course, that argument goes away when they are talking about gun laws.

Wrong. Most people who have daughters, Republican and Democrat, who have daughters involved in sports are not interested in their girls playing with or against biological males. It's an unfair physical advantage, physically dangerous for the females and males don't belong in female locker rooms or bathrooms. 80/20. Why do you and your party hate real women so much?

Ya, I could critique Trump’s words, like I often do.

But this argument has already shifted. There is no denying that the left lost their minds about him meeting with Putin without Zelensky, first. That’s silly, that’s how negotiations work. Criticizing the details of his negotiations? That’s fair game.

Critiquing Trumps words often is a waste of time. Seriously. It's like people thinking Trump was awful and he was buds with Rocketman, because he met with him and didn't say awful things about him. Rocketman stopped testing rockets. Results matter.

My Trooper bud and I used to wait on the Parkway on a closed ramp Southbound at Mile Post 124. We would hear cars coming South at high rates of speed and chase them down ! It would usually take 10 - 15 miles to catch them up, clock their speed and issue them a ticket over 100, whatever ! About 1/3 of the time the driver would be drunk, placed under arrest, breathalyzer, tow car, a fun night !

Because Trump is Putin's female dog, and has already lied about who started the war, and described Zelenskyy as a dictator and tells Ukraine that it has to lose land. Without Ukraine being invited. Enough? The reason Putin wasn't at the table was because we cut of diplomatic relations, the West, not Russia's choice. The sanctions are crippling to Russia and the oligarchs. Now Trump runs in sucks up and reverses everything at the behest of his master.

Meaningful as in reducing the budget deficit? No not if you are cutting taxes thousands of times more. Is there waste? Sure, but not the BS Elon is printing. He is as much of a liar as Trump.
