U.S. Politics

[Martin Weidmann]

I've explained this to you as to a small child.  McCarthy had the option to allow the government to shutdown.  If he had done so, he would still be speaker.  Instead he capitulated to the Dems.  They had to vote to keep the government open at that point or they would be blamed for the shutdown.  If keeping the government open was a vital objective (as the Dems and their media mouthpieces claimed for weeks hoping they could blame the Republicans) then they should have rewarded the person who did that.  Instead they played politics to oust him.  Despicable politics at its worst.  It takes a majority vote to oust the Speaker.  The facts are that the Dems voted 208-0 in favor of ousting him.   Only 8 Republicans voted to do so.  That means that over 96% of the votes to oust McCarthy came from Dems.  Less than 4% came from Republicans.

I've explained this to you as to a small child.

You always do... it's always the "logic" of a small child that you come up with.

I ask again; when are you going to start blaming the Democrats for the sun going down in the evening?

The Biden administration has now suddenly decided that there is an "acute" need to build - wait for it - a great, big, beautiful WALL along the southern border.  HA HA HA.  You can't make that up.  If only someone had thought to do that before five million illegal aliens and an unknown number of criminals and terrorists had crossed!  Oh wait.  Someone did and they called him a racist. 

[Richard Smith]

Imagine if Trump had waived numerous environmental laws to try to build his wall.  The Dems would have rushed to the courts and proclaimed him a murderer.  Old Biden is doing it without a peep from the leftist media.  His clown show sold off the material for building the wall that had already been paid for vowing that not a foot of wall would be built during his administration.  Now they are having to buy it back at double the cost.  What a humiliation even for him.  How bad are his polling numbers that Ukraine Joe has to flip flop on the border wall which he campaigned against as being racist?  Things must be hitting rock bottom.  His COVID booster roll out is also a complete fiasco.  That would be 24/7 coverage if Trump was president.  But hardly a word.

So he is doing what you've always wanted. What are you complaining about? There's just no pleasing you.....

I'm complaining about his endless hypocrisy and incompetence.  He campaigned on a vow not to build one foot of wall.  He claimed Trump was racist for trying to do so.  He is in deep political trouble and magically it's time to build a wall.  HA HA HA.  After it's too late to do any good.  At least five million have crossed the open border.  Ukraine Joe won't even be president by the time any wall is constructed. I don't even believe he will do it.  The money will be stolen or diverted to some woke cause like the COVID money and "infrastructure" money that went to things other than COVID and infrastructure.  Why aren't liberals outraged, though, if Old Joe was right about Trump and the wall?  This is just a ruse.  Old Joe has to cut a deal with establishment Repubs.  He vows to build the wall and they fund his endless war in Ukraine.  The wall never gets done but billions are allocted to Ukraine.

Compared to endless hypocrisy and incompetence displayed by the Republicans, you mean?

He campaigned on a vow not to build one foot of wall. \

Trump campaigned on a vow that Mexico would pay for the wall.... That didn't happen, did it now?

Sounds like politics to me... Expect Biden is far better at it than any Republican.

It's politics to campaign on a promise not to build a foot of the wall, then build the wall.  It is also politics to say that you are going to "shutdown" COVID and then do nothing including botching the roll out of the booster after 3/4 of US deaths occurred during his administration?  Maybe check the recent polls to see how that is working out for him.   And RFK, Jr is announcing a third party run next week!   Old Joe is finished.

Only desperate people place value on "recent polls".

And RFK, Jr is announcing a third party run next week!

Aha.. the ever succesful third party challenge in a two party system....   

Old Joe is finished.

Wishful thinking.....You said something similar about "sleepy" Joe during the previous election. How did that work out for you?
