What do you call a POTUS that can get an infrastructure deal done?

[CornusKousa]

He ran and won on infrastructure, among other things. But whatever your side has to tell themselves to sleep at night.

No he ran and won on "Not Trump".

Doesn't change the fact that Congress and congress critters deserve the credit/criticism for their legislation.... not the POTUS.

I find peoples need to do so both left and right absolutely fucking bizarre.

*Congress does stuff*

*People*: LOOK WHAT OUR PRESIDENT DID!!!!

If only! You really can't be that detached from reality!

Which of Bernie's proposals would you like to see Biden implement?

 

[YooserName]

It will repair and upgrade infrastructure and we'll all use it.

Like shovel ready jobs did?

 

[KeithD]

Which of Bernie's proposals would you like to see Biden implement?

I think a good many of them are already in the mix.

Why do you shoot yourself in the foot against your better interests just to have an ideological go at "commie librals"?

 

[YooserName]

You mean the one he inherited from Obama and managed not to fuck up?



Not really. The term describes perfectly what your side promises all those tax cuts and big businesses friendly shit will do but never delivers even though repubs shove it down the nation’s throat when they have the majority.

Like Dems are shoving shit down Americans' throats now?

Your first sentence was correct. The second one was weapons grade stupid.

 

[pecksniff]

Which of Bernie's proposals would you like to see Biden implement?

Pretty much all of them. Single-payer health care to start with. Health-care costs per capita in the U.S. are twice what they are in Canada, and not because health care is twice as good here -- the extra dollar on the dollar goes to the health-insurance companies.

 

[pecksniff]

It will involve shovels, but also laying cable.

Infrastructure refers to the basic systems and services that a country or organization needs in order to function properly. For a whole nation, it includes all the physical systems such as the road and railway networks, utilities, sewage, water, telephone lines and cell towers, air control towers, bridges, etc., plus services including law enforcement, emergency services, healthcare, education, etc.

Due almost entirely to their own self-interest and devoted service to those who fund their campaigns, Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have managed to either kill or mortally wound multiple elements of the social infrastructure bill that would have dramatically improved the lives of millions. Many of those items had already been removed from the standard infrastructure bill, on the promise they would be included in the second bill. This was a lie.

Gone, or almost gone from the bill are vital new climate provisions that would force utilities to move to clean energy; a Medicare expansion that includes dental, vision and hearing coverage; prescription drug pricing reform that is vital to funding the bill itself; free community college; new taxes on the ultra-wealthy; and 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave.

Yes, I would have like to see a bit more in it myself. But Truthout is as bad on the left as Breitbart and such is on the right, so not too interested in your supporting link.

Like Dems are shoving shit down Americans' throats now?

Well, we'll see what BBB looks like when it's all said and done.

You sound like you don't support the infrastructure bill.

 

[KeithD]

Your blindness to your own interests and your rabid need to hate are quite clear. That's OK. You're just a revolving alt on a porn discussion board.

What just got done could only be done by a Dem-controlled Congress.

 

[CornusKousa]

Ok...

 

[pecksniff]

Ok...

So, you'll be voting Dem in the future?

 

[CornusKousa]

So, you'll be voting Dem in the future?

Why would I vote against my own interest?

 

[pecksniff]

Why would I vote against my own interest?

Because infrastructure is in your interest.

 

[KeithD]

Because infrastructure is in your interest.

Duh. That anyone would have to 'splain this to Corny . . .

 

[CornusKousa]

Because infrastructure is in your interest.

Maybe if it were actually infrastructure.

But I doubt any potholes anywhere I'm at will get fixed and the hood and I are going to have to fix the shit every few years anyhow.

So I don't see how social equity programs are in my interest.

What's in it for me?? Where's my wifm??? Sell me.....why should I vote Democrat??

 

[pecksniff]

So I don't see how social equity programs are in my interest.

They give you a better society to live in. For real.

Truthout is on the left and and like any comparison to right wing organizations it is total bullshit to compare the two. It is a argument simple minded Republicans make like the KKK is a civil rights group for White people like the NAACP is for Black people or creationism is the same as science.

You may not like the conclusions Truthout reaches from it's accurate reporting of the facts but they don't just make shit up like Breitbart. You know, like doctoring videos to get a Black woman fired from her job like Shirley Sherrod.

You maybe be naive concerning Democrats ability to affect change but you're not as dumb as a Trumper.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Sad but true.

America's infrastructure will be a little bit stronger thanks to the leadership of the Democrats in Congress and President Biden.

Another stunning defeat for America-hating Republicans.

Well, you can understand where the Truthout critics are coming from.

Crank magnet

As Truthout's major selling point is as an alternative to the mainstream media, they must necessarily position themselves as different from that media. Hence, their contributors often, as might be expected, put forth some of the waffle about how "the mainstream media doesn't do this" or "the mainstream media doesn't tell you that." For example, in 2011, the site published a piece revealing facts about Iceland that the mainstream media would not have told, such as that it was a member of the EU.[9] After this article was endorsed by Naomi Klein, fact-checkers went over it and found almost more errors in it than there were words.[10]

Additionally, its efforts to keep a broad-tent atmosphere mean that many of the articles it aggregates are from the more crankish segments of the left wing, including religious left figures such as Chris Hedges who go into Second Coming mode whenever somebody lifts a picket sign, hard green people paranoid about genetic pollution from genetically modified crops, and old-fashioned class-warriors tottering on the edge of conspiratorial thinking involving corporations and the CIA.[11] They also have reported some stories that were not factual. For example, a reporter claimed that Karl Rove was indicted on charges when in fact he wasn’t. The reporter continued to make the claim without evidence.[12]

No, they don't, for real.

Please keep your riots, excessive/unnecessary crimes and cops who go after victims in your blue shit holes.

Just a tiny bit... because most of that money is getting set on fire.

A stunning defeat for American taxpayers.

 

[BluesDriver66]

Well, you can understand where the Truthout critics are coming from.

Sorry. Errors in reporting is not the same as making shit up. Truthout and Breitbart are in no way comparable. It's like comparing manslaughter to serial killing. Doctoring videos to make a person appear racist is flat out lying. That is Breitbart's business model.

 

[CornusKousa]

Doctoring videos to make a person appear racist is flat out lying. That is Breitbart's business model.

It's also the CNN/MSNBC/RAW/Salon/AlterNet model.

That aside your post sounds like stream of conciousness writing.

Sorry your reading comprehension skill aren’t up to the task.

Not at all. peck addressed some of the problems with truthout. Spinning and misleading is spinning and misleading.

You may not like the conclusions Truthout reaches from it's accurate reporting of the facts but they don't just make shit up like Breitbart. You know, like doctoring videos to get a Black woman fired from her job like Shirley Sherrod.

Who says I don’t like them or not. I just don’t trust them.

You maybe be naive concerning Democrats ability to affect change but you're not as dumb as a Trumper.

What are you ascribing here? Please elaborate.
