Midterms

[LurkerNoMore]

I'm not crying trust me. Nothing will change in my life. It's what happens when you're prepared... you're not.

Oh it will change.  You got two years to look forward to with El Lardo For Retardos whining and crying and facing accountability.  Ohhhhh.  That sucks.

I wonder what Polymarket is giving for the odds of him having a stroke or heart attack within the next two years?

[Coach is Back!]

    Hey are we still getting the 5 grand if that money is there to give every American adult citizen, we should still be getting it , RIGHT, RIGHT.

Dwight Eisenhower Signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, creating the Interstate Highway System and supporting transportation, commerce, and jobs.
Richard Nixon Signed the 1972 law establishing Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for eligible low-income elderly and disabled Americans.
Gerald Ford Signed the Earned Income Tax Credit into law in 1975, providing tax relief to lower-income working families.
Ronald Reagan Signed the 1986 Tax Reform Act, lowering income-tax rates and expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit.
George H. W. Bush Signed the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, strengthening employment rights and accessibility.
George W. Bush Signed Medicare Part D in 2003, providing prescription drug coverage to millions of seniors.
Donald Trump Signed the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which doubled the maximum Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $2,000, subject to eligibility and income limits.

These are real legislative accomplishments. Their overall costs and benefits can be debated, but claiming Republican presidents did nothing to help working families is historically indefensible.
The Reagan example is particularly relevant. The Heritage Foundation specifically advocated expanding tax relief for working families through Reagan's reforms.

Before we go on here, I just want to personally thank coach is back for starting this thread. This is the most fun I've had on here since I came on and argued with  beatoffmaster, I often wonder what  became of him . Again thanks coach I've learned so much from your posts recently. anyway carry on.

Hey dipshit. You're a vet. The guy you just posted has proven ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and by all accounts is a jihadist or at best a jihadist sympathizer who will get National security clearance. You're not prepared either

Post this "proven" ties.  Is it the same Muslim Brotherhood that Jared takes billions from?  Or the one that Trumpy accepts planes from?

[LurkerNoMore]

Oh, he's been responding?

I occasionally see his stuff in quoted responses.

It's either:

Trumpy Trumpy something...
A one off example of something he then extrapolates to an entire party
Insulting someone

I don't think I'm missing anything of substance.  But I did like his non political / lifting posts.

Oh, I am sure you two still have nice little text chats about me.  Judging from how badly GAYaos can't stop whining, I am also sure he tells you everything I post.  Carry on though.

[Coach is Back!]

I live and have three businesses in the communist state of California. My life won't change and the way we're set up business and financially...it won't change. You claim to live in Florida. It's all red including a new black Governor, you must hate it there. Try moving to NYC or Michigan

[funk51]

This is why you’re a clickbait clown

1. Franklin D. Roosevelt ended the Great Depression
What's true: FDR introduced the New Deal, Social Security, banking reforms, and federal employment programs. These provided relief to millions of Americans.
What's missing:
The Great Depression began in 1929, before Roosevelt took office in 1933.
The economy improved during portions of his presidency but experienced another severe recession in 1937–1938.
Unemployment remained elevated until the massive economic mobilization associated with World War II.
Conservative economists argue that some New Deal policies prolonged economic weakness by discouraging investment and competition.
Verdict: FDR helped stabilize the financial system and provide relief, but saying he single-handedly brought America out of the Great Depression oversimplifies history.
2. Andrew Jackson was the only president to eliminate the national debt
In 1835, President Andrew Jackson eliminated the federal government's interest-bearing national debt.
However, the accomplishment came under circumstances very different from today's economy.
Federal spending was relatively small.
The federal government received substantial revenue from tariffs and public land sales.
The elimination of the debt was temporary.
Jackson's financial policies, particularly his banking policies, remain controversial because of their possible contribution to the Panic of 1837.
Verdict: Historically accurate, but not evidence that one political party is consistently better at managing federal debt.
3. Bill Clinton was the only modern president to balance the budget and produce a surplus
Clinton presided over four consecutive federal budget surpluses, from fiscal years 1998 through 2001.
But the meme leaves out something important: Republicans controlled both the House and Senate beginning in January 1995.
The surpluses resulted from several factors, including:
Clinton's 1993 tax increases.
Spending restraint and budget negotiations involving the Republican-controlled Congress.
Strong economic growth and tax receipts during the technology boom.
The 1997 bipartisan Balanced Budget Act.
Also, Republican President Dwight Eisenhower oversaw several balanced budgets during the 1950s.
Verdict: Clinton deserves credit, but he did not accomplish it alone, and the claim that no other modern president balanced a budget is false.
4. Barack Obama was the only president to significantly expand healthcare
Obama signed the Affordable Care Act in 2010, expanding health insurance coverage to millions of Americans. That is a genuine accomplishment in terms of coverage, although conservatives criticize its costs, mandates, and effects on insurance markets.
But he was certainly not the only president to expand healthcare.
Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law in 1965.
Republican George W. Bush signed Medicare Part D in 2003, adding prescription drug coverage for Medicare beneficiaries.
Republican Richard Nixon signed legislation encouraging the expansion of health maintenance organizations (HMOs) in 1973.
Verdict: Obama expanded health insurance significantly, but the word only makes the claim demonstrably false.
5. Lyndon Johnson lifted 50% of impoverished children out of poverty
Johnson launched the War on Poverty and Great Society programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, Head Start, and other antipoverty initiatives.
The overall poverty rate fell considerably during his presidency, but that does not establish that his programs lifted half of impoverished children out of poverty.
The conservative Heritage Foundation provides important context:
Child poverty stood at approximately 20.7% in 1965.
By 1996, it was approximately 19.8%.
Poverty had already been declining before Johnson introduced the Great Society.
Economic growth, wages, education, and employment contributed to declining poverty.
Heritage argues that the War on Poverty did not deliver the long-term improvements in self-sufficiency its architects envisioned. 
However, the programs did provide meaningful benefits, and broader poverty measures that include government assistance show larger reductions than the official cash-income measure. 
Verdict: The meme's precise 50% claim isn't adequately supported, and it improperly assigns changes in poverty to one president alone.
Now, what have Republican presidents actually accomplished?
The meme's final challenge is the easiest part to disprove.
Here are concrete examples from the last 100 years.

                              Where did you copy and paste that from the MAGA-carte ?       

[chaos]

I have no idea what they said,  I do know and remember what those I voted for had said….

The issue is there was all the celebrating because the republicans won control and what did they accomplished. They lost everything. The question they need to ask is why. The same thing everyone said the democrats needed to do.

But they didn’t change and people were not happy with they unfulfilled promises.

And the cycle continues. It's all the same coin, just one side has less faggotry.

Petty spot on. Dude posts like he's on the rag 24/7.

[funk51]

funk, you already crashed getbig once with your videos.

I thought you were going to confine them to one thread.

  It's called free speech, why are you constantly crashing my threads with your lies and MAGA-BULLSHIT.  now isn't that some irony for ya.

[funk51]

And the cycle continues. It's all the same coin, just one side has less faggotry.

   

   yeah we can at least agree on that.

   Sorry mister chaos I liked that gif so much I had to borrow it. hey, when the hell do you ever get any work done ?

Why would I want to move?  Keep paying those tax dollars for us red states to mooch off of.  Maybe you should open a few more businesses.  Alabama and Kentucky could use the extra $$$ they would get.

[LurkerNoMore]

You mean you missed a chance to talk about ladyboys here?  You've only done that 3 times in the last hour (and counting).

[Grape Ape]

I'm not Maga, and you've never proven me wrong on anything.

On the other hand, it would take less than five minutes to take one of your posts, research, and prove it's crap.

[Primemuscle]

Here's what's I think will happen. The left will go back to the same woke destructive bullshit they got cleaned up on in 2024. Nothing has changed  as a matter of fact over the last two years they've doubled and tripled down on that and then another election in 2028.

Your optimism is... well, it is totally missing as usual. But your pessimism is intact. So, there is that. No one can say you are not consistent and completely predictable. LOL!

   gas 2 dollars a gallon, no new wars on and on and on. I really don't care about your lies you are but an insignificant little speck on the asshole of life. I'm talking about the orange menace, aka the liar in chief.

[funk51]

It is a good meme. Too bad you don't understand it.

   Yeah I don't understand it. Irony is a contrast or incongruity between expectation and reality, or between what is said and what is actually meant. It must be a really slow day at work for you and Mister APE. Now I have to work on sarcasm.

  BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards...
Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state.
In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California.
Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times.
Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course.
The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more.
Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governor’s race in Nevada (6 votes).
10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50.
222 + 50 = 272.
And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact.
In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a “safe” state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states.
States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election.
We can fix our democracy. The time is now.

Did they or did they not double down on their rhetoric from the fake Biden days?

Dang, how many billions?

Lots.  Nearly the same number as the thoughts of ladyboys you have each day.
