Yawn

I'm thinking Teddy Roosevelt would've been to coolest to toss a couple of beers with. When we were in Yosemite a few summers ago, I learned a much better appreciation of the man.

Why would she've done that? She kept me because she wanted to have me and not because she was being forced to by some religious nuts.

Not that I would've had a say in the matter but if for health or other unfortunate reasons she wanted to abort me, I'd be fine with her decision. This might be shocking to you, but most women don't decide to get an abortion because they like to kill babies or to spite the baby's father.

Gee, ya don't say. Newsflash!

China and Russia will support the Taliban.

So do members of the US CONGRESS

You do know that you're disobeying the wishes of your God with your refusal/inability to procreate?

You have no idea.

The Taliban are Extreme Radicle Islamist that rape & kill in the name of religion. Sharia law is their moral compass.

Any religion that condones honor killings and treat women & girls like slaves and doesn't like rock and roll are scum of the earth.

Precisely why it is beyond disgusting that a republican US congressperson would tweet something so vile. They prove over and over they have no bottom. It's baffling how someone like this could get elected for anything.

Joe Biden has just given you a pay cut, America. Get ready for more

Call it a "Biden pay cut." Americans' real wages are falling under President Joe Biden.

On Wednesday, the Labor Department announced that inflation rose by 5.4 percent over the previous year -- the fastest pace (tied with last month) since 2008.

Last Friday, it revealed that average wages only rose by 4 percent over the same timeframe. These numbers confirm what Americans already know: Their living standards are declining under President Biden as inflation swamps wage gains.

The Federal Reserve and Biden administration have tried to gaslight Americans by downplaying inflation and calling it transitory. Yet consumers and small businesses in the real world are feeling its full effects.

Gas prices have increased by approximately 50 percent since Biden was elected. Major companies, including Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Kimberly-Clark, General Mills, and Unilever, have announced price increases.

The CEO of Tyson Foods, the nation's largest chicken producer, said on a recent earnings call that costs are rising faster than the company's ability to raise prices. Half of second-quarter nominal GDP growth is phantom inflation gains. According to the Job Creators Network Foundation Monthly Monitor poll, inflation is the biggest concern of small businesses.

President Biden seems to recognize he's vulnerable on this issue. This week he called on OPEC to increase oil production in an effort to address runaway gas prices taxing American pocketbooks.

Yet far more drastic action is needed. Biden and Congressional Democrats must immediately scrap their several trillion dollars of proposed federal spending that threatens to turn high inflation hyper and devalue American paychecks even more........

........Biden's inflation-induced decline in American living standards contrasts to the stable dollar and rising wages under President Trump pre-pandemic. Due to his administration's tax cuts and deregulation, real earnings for ordinary workers rose at a rapid rate, and 6.6 million Americans were lifted out of poverty between 2017 and 2019.

Yet while Trump gave us tax cuts, Biden's giving us pay cuts. If he succeeds in signing several trillion dollars of additional spending into law, Americans can expect an even larger decline in real wages to come.

This is a pretty stupid article. Inflation has swamped wage gains since the 1970s, at least. That's why Democrats have been calling for a minimum wage increase--the minimum wage buys far less than it did in the 1980s, but hasn't been changed since then. This is true across essentially all levels of wages--FOX Business is calling out unchecked capitalism but using the name "Joe Biden" instead because conservatives who read and believe FOX Business are extremely gullible and uninformed and FOX Business knows that.

Personally, I have no issues with a minimum wage increase. I'm also in favor of a fair tax, flat tax, or such. Eliminate or better manage corporate write-offs.

It's been funny to me over the past ~4 years when liberals say "I never thought I'd say this, but Trump makes me miss Bush!" It's cool that he seems like a gentle old man today, but thinking Bush was in some way better than Trump is definitely overly romanticizing the past.

Bush was an ignoramus...an almost affable one. Cheney was the real president then. The one who started that war.

This article is so inaccurate and so hypocritical

It was pretty obviously a dig at the current administration and not some sort of pro-Taliban endorsement. I think you knew that though. She’s actually lobbying for continuing conflict with the Taliban, the opposite of what the fake outrage here suggests. I say fuck her for trying to perpetuate wars, no need to pretend pretend she likes the Taliban when the legitimate criticisms of her are right in the open.

 

[ehizzy3]

So do members of the US CONGRESS

WTF

 

[HailBlazers]

I think Bush was better than Trump. He might've fucked things up worse than Trump, but on a scale of humans douchebaggery, Trump's score is much higher.

So not being a douchebag is more important to you than not being a mass murderer?

Well if she’s promoting the continuation of the conflict that flys in the face of dear leader. Or she’s just politically posturing at the expense of the innocent lives that will be lost in Afghanistan? Even better

I'd be comfortable with leaving my wife and teen daughter in a room alone with President Bush......the other one, not so much.

So now everybody cares about people in Afghanistan?

It doesn't. I could care less. Its just funny how bad Biden is at this. He clear he has dementia and its too bad you can't admit that.

 

[calvin natt]

I’m fine blaming Biden. It’s disingenuous to even for a second pretend that 1) Trump wanted everyone out just as much 2) he Fucking wanted to bring Taliban to the US to have coffee and donuts and 3) this would have been handled any better under his dumbass.
