These governments are bending over backwards for Israel so hard. Shows the power of lobbying and why it must be outlawed.

These fame obsessed twats are a disease. Killing common decency for clout is bull shit.

They could have bailed out individual’s loans, and also solidified the banks that way. If they paid month by month for a time period to stabilize things it would’ve been drastically cheaper and kept people from losing their houses. Those people could have paid back in increments over time in taxes even (like they do student loans). It would have kept all those people from losing their homes, cost less, stabilized the economy, and not rewarded the banks for risky behavior. They should have charged the major players in banks too. What Obama did was the worst way to right the ship.

Obama’s policies were mostly Heritage foundation fed too. The ACA was a Heritage Foundation plan. His bank bail out was a hand out to the rich without consequence. His foreign policy was bad towards the middle East and awful for human rights. He deported more people than any president before him. By all metrics, he was a Republican. He was historic, sure, but I don’t think he was any better than Biden in relation to policies that helped regular people or embrace of the anti-human rights policies. People’s memories tend to soften situations or maybe just politics was more muted at the time. Democrats have been right wing lite for my whole life.

If you can leave the situation safely - like being able to go back to your truck - it’s not self defense.

And Republicans thought that was nothing. Their pocket books are affected now. I’m not agreeing with their logic, I am going off the grumblings I am seeing now versus then. I live in a very red area.

Wasn’t as painful for the general population as this. He is more destructive in ways that directly affect the majority this time. He can’t coast off the democratic economy with these moves. Republicans actually care when things affect them.

My crazy MAGA co-worker thinks he is trying to crash the dollar so they can wipe out debt introducing an American digital currency. Because that wouldn’t completely destroy America’s economy. 🤦🏻

This ends (in Trump’s mind) with Trump living the good life as an oligarch in Russia after the US people turn on him. In reality, Putin will throw him under the bus.

Americans tend to be unhealthy af for a reason. Regulatory capture is a major issue in our ever more corrupt government.

Yes. Capitalism was in an ideological battle with communism so the government put its thumb on the scale with socialism but gave credit to capitalism for the outcome. Then billionaires spent 75 years indoctrinating, corrupting, and distorting history to claw back their power.

Putin’s puppet Krasnov pushing it as far as he can get away with.
