It's coming... Reagan promissed it and he's the Messiah.  So...

Meanwhile, the party that has no solutions ever continues to target almost everything but the things that actually help the people or that people actually care about.  instead of the economy or inflation lets worry about CRT, LGBT, Disney, etc

you mean tax cuts for the rich havent trickled down?  

But tax increases ALWAYS trickle down.   So I guess the left believes in self-immolation to punish the rich.

I dont know if I have an answer but I know its not a party that does nothing but obstruct and pass bills that have nothing to do with what is currently important to most Americans.  i mean how do they even have time for this.  Same could be said for both parties for the most part but jesus christ.

Tax increases reduce the deficit… something Republicans claim they care about but never do.

All the Dems do is increase taxes to fund even bigger increases in spending, pretending that it's funded by the tax increases on rich & corporations when in reality those costs are actually borne by the middle class (generally without corresponding benefit, which accrues mostly to the poor).

I don't care about the sometimes wonky deficit accounting.  The DEBT has been increasing under every POTUS since, well, I got tired of looking after I got to Calvin Coolidge.  And the debt has spiraled out of control since W, with Obama DOUBLING that pace, a level which has "fortunately" been held without an acceleration under Trump and Biden.

False. 

Reductions in marginal tax RATES always result in more tax REVENUE.  Unfortunately the federal government always SPENDS even more than the higher revenues.  They literally outspend the significantly higher revenues every single time.  The deficit could easily be overcome with just a little spending discipline.  But without a balanced budget amendment, it will never happen.

It’s all play money when in the government’s hands, so it really doesn’t matter.  We’ve been getting scary stories about government debt since Reagan was around.  After 40 years, it is numbers on a spreadsheet to anyone paying attention.  Not saying it doesn’t matter, but that ship sailed a long time ago.  It is not to be equated to household debt, which is real.  

And in other news, another blatant lie to cover their asses is exposed:  they were passing out crack pipes (and you paid for them)

The right also cares about the formula shortage that’s been going on, and it took over a month for the White House to say anything about it.

What do you want them to do, they aren’t in charge? What is the left doing about all the terrible shit happening? They just stopped leases for drilling (yes it would take 10 years to get anything). The left created this mess and are doing nothing to stop it. Other than giving more money to Ukraine. And fighting bullshit mask mandates that everyone hates. Oh and trying to murder babies. Cool story though. And LOL at Gblock pretending the left doesn’t come out with the most ridiculous bills about dumb shit. Both parties suck dummies. But if you’re on the side of elementary school gender identity classes, you lose.

Still glossing over the fact that everyone from fact checkers to Psaki said it wasn’t true. Just another example of 1,000s where disinformation doesn’t matter when it’s from the left. But don’t you dare say men can’t get pregnant!

Since when did you have to be “in charge” as a congressman to help your constituents?

I’m caught up in the hilarious belief that anyone on the left cares about disinformation. They only care about things they disagree with, truthful or not, and want it banned from social media.

Are you saying the right isn't out banning things all over the place and doing every single thing that you say in that sentence.  Also i can understand your thoughts on that issue but how many times can you say it.  Do you ever post solutions to the problems or just cry about what the left is doing each day.  We need to move past all the moaning and groaning and post actual solutions imo.

I suggest they drive to the border to get the formula being warehoused there for illegals who cross the border. 

Good God, this administration is the biggest clusterfuck in U.S. history.

Dumb fucks need to open the wallets and hire someone who actually is good at insulting people if they want to play this game. Because whatever person or focus group in charge of thinking this shit up flat-out sucks. To the degree I feel personally offended that this level of "insult" was actually green-lit and thought sufficient to turn any sort of tide. I mean, come on: some of us take pride in our insults; don't disenfranchise us!

Ha, I can’t read the article but apparently whatever firm they used researched for 6 months to come up with that. 

Biden's attempt to reappropriate "MAGA" and "ultra MAGA" was the result of a six-month research effort by liberal groups. My latest w @michaelscherer. https://t.co/foVeidRgZn

Beat you get when you put a bunch of liberals in a room together every thing else offended someone in the room.

LOL. Sure.

You want to bring down inflation?

Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
