Keep getting that message out. The left (Dems) were given a huge gift by those idiots who ransacked the Capitol. So now Reps have been silenced by the embarrassment IMHO. And Biden is running wild with hardly a whimper of protest from the Reps.
Much wrong with the world but your next poem could be on press bias. Used to be that the press reported objectively. No more! They've taken the position of advocates.
I'm actually pretty liberal, but I'd like to see money spent wisely. I want government to support people who need it, but I don't like the waste of big government. Privatize as much of government functions as possible, like Mitch Daniels did in Indiana.
I was actually a big fan of Daniels; the Republicans went from fiscally responsible to... something. As for media bias, I've been awake to that insanity since I was deployed in 2005; CNN kept reporting things that were in opposition to what I was seeing on the ground.
When I was stationed near DC, the only protest I've ever been to in my life was the Tea Party one at the capitol the day before Obamacare was passed. I went home from that mostly non-partisan, 35K people event to watch 3 different channels report 3 diff. crowd sizes [40K, 5K, 1500]. You can probably guess which was which. I also heard that Nancy Pelosi had heard racist yelling, which was interesting since I was watching her and other congressmen exiting the Capitol and managed to see none of it [from 50 feet away].
I've always been conservative/libertarian, and spoiler alert: nothing's changed my mind in the last decade. As disappointed as I was at Trump's nomination, the Democrat decision to stoop to his level is what led him to gain 11 million more votes in 2020, and their willingness to push the pedal to the floor now will backfire in stunning fashion. It's a shame they can't hear Bill Maher & others telling them to kill cancel culture.
Re the 2020 election, I’m glad Trump’s gone but it seems to me that the election was stolen from him and not in the way people are talking about. In 2016, Hillary claimed that the election was stolen from her by Russian interference. OK, I’m sure there was some of that. However Trump has a claim that the entire MSM press (Fox excluded) was out to get him. You know that story and its extent better than I do. Further, Big Tech was out to get him through censorship, lies, and all the stuff Glenn Greenwald writes about. Hence the argument is: MSM and Big Tech stole the election for Biden.
A little surprising that I haven’t heard this angle discussed. Sorry, Dems, the ends don’t justify the means IMHO. Also I think, Trump certainly would have won another term if it weren’t for COVID.
I do sense a big Red wave coming in the 2022 elections. Biden’s immigration policy and the border fiasco cannot play well with the majority of people in this country (especially Blacks, not that they would ever vote R anyway). Also, I think people will get fed up with this overwhelming preoccupation with race. I support helping people, but do it on the basis of economic need rather than skin color.
Daniels is now Purdue's prez, which is where I went to school (engineering). He's doing a terrific job there as well. Tuitions have been flat for 10 years, Graduate engineering came in tied for 4rth best school in the country in the last US News ranking.
He's short and not very good looking and people like that don't get elected US prez, Too bad!!
That was a gift - and as usual, they've taken it as a sign that they should continue what they're doing; there will be a lot of disappointment very soon.
Yes, Trump was a brain fungus, but he actually got things done - things that didn't include any of Biden's current self-made crises; Trump's crises were mostly about his teenage maturity level, but China was actually wary of him. Of all the times for an 8-decade Biden to take power, rallying global pressure on China for COVID-19 is literally the worst possible moment in history. Unilaterally killing our own oil industry on day 1 in a pandemic with record spending is going to feel like a hollow victory 5 years from now, when Americans are driving Chinese-made electric cars.
Yes, the election will never be repeated; 2022 will be a bloodbath when Biden resigns before the halfway mark. I doubt the voting bill can reach the finish line. Glenn Greenwald might be a long-lost triplet (I'm a twin) because most of what he wrote from Oct-Jan came a couple days after my social media posts on similar topics. But, in the end, the most important thing is China, and it's the fallout from the pandemic that will dictate events through fall 2022.
