Yes I did say this. It's important that welfare benefits not create a "hole" because that takes away the incentive to work more and make more money like the good self-reliant capitalists we all are.

If I can make $100/mo but I'm going to lose $200/mo in benefits, why would I do that? Yeah *eventually* if I make $300/mo, that starts to become worth it. By my boss isn't ...[text shortened]... f you take away socialism, America dies.

Now you really have something to thing about, don't cha?

You actually lost me at the outset, the word ‘benefits’ flows off of your tongue like honey. When you interlace such a word into a concept, it puts me at at a disadvantage when I try to use it back ‘atcha.
What benefits and why? And if one earns more, he does indeed net more? Yes. What you on about. I think you try your best to explain, but clarity is hogtied by your leaning on extraneous benefits ’.

where you lose benefits if you earn too much.

Did Spruce actually say this.? We are surrounded by socialists. We are Custer in Custer's Last Stand.

This a sobering state of affairs, as practiced by President Biden. Talk about Democracy infringement...
Please see that he does not have the power to forgive the tuition debt. The court was clear, no authority. He is brazenly defying, and brags about it. "SCOTUS won't stop me." Changed his method, yes, but the same legal principles that make it unconstitutional still apply. He is not canceling any debt.......He is TRANSFERRING billions in debt from borrowers to taxpayers.....only the congress has the power to do that.
SCOTUS explained that. He does not care about separation of powers....WHO is the dictator? Who is the threat to democracy?????
11 states have coalesced to block this. It is grossly unfair, paying for those who went to college with money from those who didn't.
This is his pattern. Think about his eviction moratorium, the vaccine mandate, the racially discriminatory farm program, all of these are clearly lawless.....but he went ahead and did it. The court rules (properly) agianst him, and he turns it all into pure politics and rails agains the high court and rallies to stack the court.

Initial offer $49.99 with a dream run up to $79, Trump valued at 8 Billion. Since then a drop to $50 and further decline to $40 as of now. If you like backing the guy who is expert at going out backwards well....

You and Trumphouse suggest that he should be perfect.

I'll never vote for a Republican again in my life. That party has abandoned reason, America, the Constitution, and everything it ever stood for. It needs to die and be replaced by a different political party with a different message and focus.

This very day Biden is telling us to pay student tuitions. Giving SCOTUS the finger. Ha, I hope they take it personal in upcoming decision making. He is definitely bringing democracy down. Govt agents just took a gas stove out of my house, and some light bulbs.
Your man is undemocratic. The diff is, he IS undemocratic, you boys only SAY Trump is. I’m sure Trumphouse will agree with me.
Oh for the record I will never vote for the democrat party in my life. They are dependents by nature. We love independence, sel reliance, liberty and freedom. If any of you suckling faeries have ever written any of those 4 words, I have never seen it. Frankly, I think those words make liberals feel somewhat naked and cold.

Tell me how many children Obama put in cages, eh. Links, photos? So you deny Trump put those thousands of kids in cages?
You must have gone SO GOOD to see something done on the border.

Boy you got me there. I will have to research it. But what about all the Dems who question election results.

And you condone, approve of actually, Trump saying to Putin, you can do whatever the hell you want.
Yep, Trump really knows who our enemies are. Did you forget Putin is our enemy? Trump doesn't think so. Putin has SOMETHING on Trump, putting your orange Anti Christ in Putin's pocket and you can't even come close to figuring that out.

We cud do this all day…Do you forget that The Entire Biden Family is in bed with China?? Do you forget China is the no.1 enemy??
Geeeeez. Let’s do the cages while we are at it!

It is assswipes like you who can't acknowledge immigration made the US the powerhouse it is today. MY ancestors came from Ireland and I know good and well they were not drug runners or rapists, poisoning the blood of America, they WERE America and still are.
Chinese built most of the railroads here so they were the rock that made America strong and all you ca ...[text shortened]... s out, ALL Biden's fault. Sick and Pathetic is what you and your ultrarightwingnuts are. And LOSERS.

I welcome legal immigrants. So I don’t get what you are saying. Could you wind that up again?

Ah, so we are supposed to lie down and play dead while the assswipes ignore what Biden has actually accomplished in a short time, ten times more than the orange antiChrist did in his term.
I go with people who if they lose, do a peaceful transfer of power, not like your religious leader Trump who says elections are rigged but not if he wins, he loses, RIGGED. Too ...[text shortened]... ot the mere 5000 last time. And you condone every aspect of it.
And you call yourself a Christian.

I am not going to list again all the Dems who have denied elections, like Hillary and Stacy Abram et all. Give it a rest.
Excuse me,did you just bring up Obama’s cages AGAIN?,???!!?!?!

It does matter what the majority says. That's democracy.

I'm not saying we vote to put him in jail. I'm saying we declare whether or not he is an insurrectionist and can't serve the United States as an officer anymore.

Define declare?!?!?!? Hell, Sonhouse declares in every post. What the hell. Declare? Do you mean convict him with your pansy posters up and down the street (I myself have never been in a street)?!??? Declare him guilty? Do u see what candyass comments we have to put up with?

@spruce112358 said
Let's not take insurrection off the table. Let's answer that first.

Ok. If he is convicted of insurrection, he should receive the appropriate sentence. Further, if law allows, I would hope that we srill have a Republican administration, and that he is allowed to dictate his policies to be carried out, whether or not he can assume the office. So, yes, sentence him. I agree.
NOW, ( and note that this question has nothing to do with Donald Trump per se). If a dem sec of state dictates with no legal basis that a candidate for President be taken off of a ballot, is that subversive of a democracy?

@AverageJoe1
You can do this Trumphouse. They say it is easier if you hold a twig between your teeth as you type your response. Just pretend there was not an insurrection, and answer it, as if there were not an insurrection, that is to say, there was no finding of an insurrection, so there was no insurrection, so, since there was no insurrection, did California subvert democracy by just willy-nilly, taking him off the ballot?
Like, if I did not rob a bank, but everyone thinks I robbed a bank, should a judge sentence me for robbing the bank? Maybe that will help.

@spruce112358 said
Let's put it to the American people: "Did Donald Trump engage in insurrection at any time between losing the 2020 election and Jan 20th, 2021?"

If a majority say yes, then Trump is disqualified from all ballots as per the 14th amendment FOR LIFE. Unless Congress shall vote by 2/3 to remove such disability.

Completely 'Big D' Democratic.

There is no finding of insurrection……….there is not, and never has been, and will likely never be any finding of insurrection. So let us take that off the table and ask the question; did Colorado commit a subversion of democracy by attempting to keep him off of the ballot?

@KellyJay
The op was designed to denigrate Biden. That was the whole point of moot the shoot's agenda. He could care less about actual policy, ONLY interested in slamming a sitting POTUS, and getting the fascist orange anti Christ in again so he can destroy our democracy. Here is the opener from Wikopedia about Breitbart:

"Its content has been described as misogynistic, ...[text shortened]... icans losing medicare is a bretFART article. REAL unbiased site.
So I put that up to defend Biden.

Just to be straight, since you mumble the word democracy, in many posts, was trying to remove him from a ballot by the Democrats subversion of democracy? That, of course would be undemocratic wouldn’t you say?
