Cruz: Can we work together?

obtained her medical degree from the Caribbean Medical University of Curacao in May 2014 but was not accepted into a post-graduate residency program

Meanwhile, Satan is over there saying “Listen, lady, you caused your own problems.  Don’t bring me into it.”

They’re co-opting Biden’s shtick. His calls for unity are for the right to get over the lie about a stolen election and to focus on COVID, but the feckless GOP is using it as a talking point to get out of accountability, because when the dust finally settles, there’s going to be a shitload of sedition coming from…

I’d like to believe Biden met with the fascists knowing they’d bring some weak-ass proposal to him. Then he can reject it, push through his bill and go to the pubic to declare that he tried working with the GOP but their plan was nowhere near enough to help Americans in this time of multiple crises and they refused to…

The only ones who are saying the amount needs to be lower are the Republicans who don’t want Biden to be successful, and Biden has signaled that he’s listening to the experts who say aid needs to be substantial and soon.

How does “we’re going to give you $2,000" translate in your head to “we’re going to give you $2,600"?

Yeah, the number proposed by the dems last fall/winter was always $2,000; it was never $2,600 (although that would be nice). If anything happened after the first of the year it was AOC and the like trying to move the goal posts ...

The headline you linked to literally says “DEMOCRATS PREPARED TO ACT ALONE.” And the entire article was about how the Biden administration is determined to get this “big plan” though, even with zero GOP support. So I don’t understand how your resulting “hot take” is that “Biden doesn’t seem to have budged on his…

The amount of grifting that this pandemic has led to is f*cking depressing. Remember the guys who hoarded hand sanatizer and then sold it? The fake companies who got lucrative contracts to manufacture and sell masks? Now, we’ve got scammers running startups to administer vaccines.

Megachurches got to go, $20mil for them is nothing.

I don’t know that I’d say Trumpism is a losing strategy as it wasn’t a landslide victory in Congress and the only thing that gave the Dems a foothold of regaining the White House was the pandemic.  Had that not happened, I’d bet money that we’d be looking at a second Trump administration at this point.  And the…

“The enemy-of-the-people media focus on the gas chambers, the forced sterilizations, the euthenasia of the disabled, but they never mention the fact I built all the autobahns and love animals.”

Isn’t Puerto Rican statehood a more divided issue for Puerto Ricans? It would be great for the democrats, but I’ve read about how there’s a camp that would rather be an independent country and a camp that wants to be a US state

He’s got a point about Fuhrman, though. In our PC society, a person can get labeled a “racist” for nothing more than saying and doing racist things all of the time. It’s not fair. Even worse, once you get tagged with the scarlet “R” of racism, it severely limits your career opportunities. The highest any person who is…

...”I would really welcome them to sue me because I have all the evidence against them.”

No one to blame but ourselves. We’re a society of enablers who don’t do the right thing because it’s hard and uncomfortable. The myth of “freedom!” is really “don’t blame me!” since if everyone is allowed to do whatever they want they it’s no one else’s responsibility. While that might work at a micro scale (e.g. a fam…

Ukraine and 1/6 were certainly bad enough to warrant it, but botching covid-19 is what Trump should have been impeached for.

We wouldn’t have these issues if we had an actual national plan and procedure to inject everyone in the country.  

Happenstance is different than active planning. Your friend of a friend’s friend didn’t plan on getting the shot, they just happened to be there at the right time and if they didn’t get the shot it probably would have gone to waste. Better somebody get it rather than it being trashed. There’s no moral question there.…
