    Sure, that one is now running a government department. How THAT isn't even talked about is amazing.

    The legality of it? I'm quite honest, I haven't seen nothing regarding that.

    the legality of what? it's perfectly legal, just monumentally stupid and distasteful. he's a former host previously employed by fox news.

    Learning new stuff everyday. In my country, is constitutional illegal for a public servant to have any leadership ties to private companies, even a small one.

    And you posted to that Twitter thread to inform them of the truth, right?

    Because as Edge said, Lockdowns started under Trump, Not Biden.

    You would actually force Republicans in Congress to pass controversial executive-expanding powers with Trump in the White House, and in case you forgot, Republicans have a razor-thin majority in Congress and have frequently failed to pass legislation from a split conference.
    Again, see the above answer to limiting Trump.

    I mentioned two below, that were also mentioned by the press secretary a day or two ago.
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH! No. I don't give a shit what his mouth piece bullshits to the public.

    Again, I'm not interested in his other talking mouth piece either. Show me a report that verifies that there has been ethical breaches in the hiring process of these agencies. Not bullshit from Shitter.

    Typical refusal to answer and deflection. In the face of a historic immigration surge, Democrats are still trying to accuse others of hating immigrants. Just say you support open borders and be done with it. That's the net effect of blaming efforts to curb illegal immigration to hatred of immigrants.
    Because it isn't about curbing illegal immigration, it's attacking brown people in this country. The proof of this is Trump's detention quota. "I want 1,000 illegals arrested a day!" isn't trying to curb or resolve the problem, it's a sales pitch. Something conservatives can jerk themselves off with. It's along the same line of thinking as "I WANT A BIG WALL TO STOP PEOPLE FROM CROSSING!!!" even though over half of the illegals came in legally....

    Those are just the easy ones to cite.
    You do know what a citation is right?

    And foreign aid is aid we send for other countries to spend how they see fit. Don't worry about how they spend it. As long as it isn't used for malice it's none of your business.


    Thank you for proving that your Shitter links are worthless with this exceptional piece that cites nothing for your argument.

    Yes, but which states continued them longer than others?

    it's good that you're moving these goalposts while OSHA is still a thing because otherwise I'd be really concerned about you not following best practices for safely lifting heavy objects.

    It kind of is Democrats fault for being such bad stewards of our government that they allowed such a backlash to occur.

    At least we finally get to uncover all of the corruption and waste. Democrats are never coming back from this, they will be relegated to a regional party with some strongholds in CA, IL and NY, and that's it.
    Trump had the biggest budgets we have ever had.

    You supported it all.

    Propaganda because you don't like the message? You are free to refute the point with a counter source of you like. Otherwise this is just lazy.
    Trump was President for the start of COVID.

    You keep lying.

    Isolation, anti-social behavior, addiction to algorithmic apps, and poor education leading to right-wing voters is not the win you think it is lmao. Also, Trump started the lockdowns.

    isn't it funny watching them unintentionally argue that being angry and ignorant makes you a right winger?

    ah, to live a wholly uncritical and unanalyzed life, it must be so simple and joyous

    So first, Trump was at the start of covid and initiated the lockdown and also mishandled it, and 2, you are arguing that kids turned more right wing cause they were isolated and angry? Maybe people should go outside more and that condition would solve itself. I suggest you do the same ngl, because eating up propaganda spoon fed to you seems to be doing some damage to your cognitive reasoning.

    on the bold

    it really highlights how "no exposure to things" results in republicans being terrified of them

    see gay/trans folks - it's gay/trans panic until one of them has a gay/trans kid and then all of a sudden, usually, they see first-hand that their gay/trans kid isn't the monster they've spent years making gay/trans folks out to be and they've "evolved on the issue"

    like, just how much of a self-own that post is is truly astounding

    Isolated.... but they demanded that bars and Arbys remain open. Sturgis Meathead Rally was also the worlds largest singular super spreader event. That and the Amy Coney Barret after party.
