My thread title is an honest question. Someone who understands this please educate me. If the BBB had all these spending cuts that Republican supporters of it claimed it had, then wouldn't a clean continuing resolution that gets passed now be...

Good point. We should trust his judgment then.

Nobody needs to be reminded of that. Everybody knows that we have enough nukes to destroy the world multiple times. Everybody also knows that we have the ability to make many more very quickly if we ever want to. But what is there to gain? What...

Just a few more COVID's and we'll be all set for utopia socialism :up:

This is an illustration of the ratchet effect. The crisis of COVID 19 led to an increase of government (in this case SNAP, but in plenty of other ways parallel to that). Then when the crisis ended, a slight pullback occurred, but not back to the...

:oldrolleyes: The lockdowns would not have happened without 1) Trump making Dr. Fauci and Dr. Brix the sole arbiters of what to do during the crisis[1] and 2) Trump pushing through the socialsist PPP program to pay people to go along with the...

That's like saying you shouldn't say, "Thou shalt not murder," since murders are going to keep happening even if you say that. You can only express approval or disapproval for some murders in comparison to others.

There are all sorts of things that are implemented at the state level as a result of federal involvement. That's not an excuse. Are complaints about the federal Department of Education invalidated by the fact that its influences are filtered down...

Beyond question. I don't see how that's not just accepted as a given here (other than the fact that Trumpers insist on defending Trump at all costs). Where in the Constitution does it delegate to the federal government the authority to do any of...

That's the one state in the union where that was the case. Good for them. They managed to avert the Trump lockdowns. The other 49 states weren't so lucky. They all simultaneously in the middle of March 2020 adopted nearly identical lockdowns...

You're not a good reader. The lockdowns happened because of violation of the 10th Amendment. Trump wasn't a helpless victim watching as states violated his will. He was the mastermind (or at least the authority who gave power to the masterminds...

I don't understand how anyone on this website could ask this question. Yes! Those recommendations and guidelines resulted in shutting down businesses all over the country. That makes him a fascist. Beyond any question.

Beginning in March of 2020, and continuing well beyond that, they were Trump's lockdowns! The US Government COVID 19 Response Plan, which all of the lockdowns were done in pursuant to, was a creation of the Trump administration. He gave the...

It's higher than 2300 for individuals now. But corporations can't contribute to candidate campaign committees at all. They do have a limit, zero dollars.

May 15?! That's 2 months after the Trump lockdowns started. So much for 15 days to slow the spread. That proves my point. Governor Kemp opened Georgia 3 weeks before that and Trump heavily criticized him for that. There wouldn't have been any...
