WTF is with bagging people who supported Biden's withdrawal?
1. We'll never know, but Biden post debate lost 3-5 points in polls, worse than Carter Reagan where we know what happened.
2. WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT of attacking a true friend and supporter over unknown outcomes?

You seem to think hypocrisy is disqualifying for Maggot Republicans.
It's not.
It's not.
Alina Habba's parents are both Iraqi natives. Alina was born in New Jersey shortly after her parents immigrated to America, yet she doesn't believe other immigrants belong in America. Unbelievable!
Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.
The hypocrisy is stunning.

Someone who once worked for this guy told me he was at a party where everyone was in one way or another, economically dependent upon him. Under those circumstances you don't get much pushback for dumb statements. When they do encounter that pushback, they think its wokeness that must be destroyed.

This is the cost russia has paid to lose more territory than they claimed in the first days of this war, and it’s approaching 4 years.
They are losers.
No one deserves being handed land of a sovereign people for such losses.

To say nothing about the $30 TRILLION... THIRTY TRILLION estimated to be held in offshore tax havens.
Money is power, and we are now living in oligarchies, not democracies.
I expected Yellen to build a coalition of nations to pass strong asset tax policies. 😥
So it's Liz Warren, anyone's VP.

Billionaires have been spending vast amounts of money to keep rigging tax policy so that the rest of us have to pay to support them.
Meanwhile, I'm reading my community's angel tree list where 12 year old children are asking for "a warm blanket" as their whole holiday wish list.
