Not a difficult position for me at all.

The difficulty appears to be your lack of ability to compare and contrast my statements. You're seeing things that aren't there, and your quotes prove it. Mr. Doodoo? Is that you?

I never characterized McCain in the way that LIBs did. My quotes make that obvious.

Extract from Investopedia on the US National Debt - The National Debt Explained

The national debt in the U.S. has increased more than 10% since President Trump took office in January of 2017 with the debt-to-GDP ratio approaching 110% in 2019.

Under President Obama's eight years, the national debt increased 100%, from US$10 trillion to $20 trillion, although the economic stimulus following the 2008 financial crisis added quite a bit early on during his administration.

The U.S. government debt as of April 20, 2019.

Its a good Article that explains the UIS National Debt and the potential Risks associated with it

All accurate.

Many don't know that the phony Bayrack stimulus of $800 billion was part of the baseline budget every year after. Nancy and Harry did that.

Jacinda is in town next week. Hopefully she doesn't have to do much ego stroking in public. She'll do what's needed in the national interest. It's difficult because Trump is such a weak character and so peculiarly sensitive. You don't want to underwhelm him.

Right on cue.

The money-grubbing globalist mmcc believers that are Democrat presidential candidates are back on the carbon tax.

Warren, St. Butti, Kamasutra, Grampa Bernie, Fake Latino Beto and Yang have all released plans to tax the hell out of Americans for their energy use based on a cultist ideology that STILL cannot explain in specific and measurable terms how the funds will be used and the expected result. They're just going to take your money and save the world. Trust them.

Not surprising that their announcements came at the MSNBC climate forum.

Some of these thieving Democrat candidates even have the gall to show increases in the amount of carbon taxes as years pass, but contain no specific information as to how they plan to slow, stop or reverse what they claim is happening due to man. Same ole, same ole.

As I read yesterday, and will provide in another thread later, SOCIALISM IS FORCED. This cult of mmcc is an effort to force citizens into compliance without providing the simplest of explanation, outline and expected results from their mastermind efforts.

And here is the kicker: There is no clear figure even on HOW MUCH it would cost to decarbonize the US. These hoaxsters only have one thing in mind. Take more of the assets of the working American.

Stop eating meat. Eat the rich.

Candace Owens takes an entire coven of LIBs to the woodshed. She was on FIYAH. One of her best lines comes at the end of her admonishments: a reference to Democrats on the committee asking three White LIB propagandists what's wrong with the Black Community in America.

I look forward to the continued appointments and confirmations of Originalist judges.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is famous for their activism and having their rulings overturned by the Supreme Court. The continued confirmations of Originalist judges to the 9th Circuit -- 5 MORE COMING -- will shape the courts to be what they have always been intended to be: ruling based on the US Constitution, not how any judge "feels" about things.

There's too much winning going on.

(See past posts in this thread)
• Historically low levels on initial filings for unemployment.
• US housing permits and construction at its strongest since 2007
• Manufacturing doubled expectations
• August retail sales doubled expectations

Bloomberg has decided to cancel the recession.

“Hold That Recession – U.S. Indicators are Trouncing Forecasts“ (read it for yourself)

Bloomberg says what I have BEEN saying: the doom & gloom predictions do NOT match up with the REAL data.

Hhhhmmmm . . . another group besides mmcc believers discounting their own alarmist predictions.

STEADY WINNING.

Trump and the Ukraine - watch this story develop.
So it appears that the president might have used his official powers — in particular, perhaps the threat of withholding a quarter-billion dollars in military aid — to leverage a foreign government into helping him defeat a potential political opponent in the United States.

You appear to be looking at a different story to me.

The one I am (and apparently, many others are) looking at is whether the US president is using his political (executive) muscle on a foreign power, in a bid to influence a presidential election.

History seems to be repeating itself. :roll:

It's the same story, jack.

The LIB media is doing what they do -- accuse the enemy of doing what they actually did. The mission now is to accuse Trump of doing what Sleepy Joe and his son did -- but the LIB media has ignored the Biden story. This is another opportunity to drag out more GET TRUMP news closer to the election.

Biden and his son have already given conflicting accounts of their Ukraine trip.

There are two huge differences between the Sleepy Joe story and the Trump story. The Sleepy Joe story is true and Sleepy admits to it. The Trump story is another unnamed source allegation by a supposed "whistleblower," who we now have learned in the last 24 hours did NOT have access to the call between Trump and the Ukraine.

As each day has passed, the story regarding Trump gets weaker and weaker for the GET TRUMP crowd.

No, its not actually.

As I stated previously, I am following a story about a sitting president, and potential foreign influence on an election. I believe this may be a crime. If so (and there is a way to go yet), it should lead to prosecution.

Biden was never president, but if the stories about him are correct, and he was acting corruptly on behalf of his son, this should also lead to prosecution.

On the other hand, if he was acting according to official policy in relation to a corrupt Ukraine prosecutor, not so much.

ps I note the Ukraine is nominally a US ally.

Technically, it's not; but from a media standpoint it is all related.

They're hiding/ignoring one and hoping to expose something that, so far, isn't there. Kinda like what they did with Hillary's emails and Trump-Russia collusion -- ignored/hid one and ran like hell even with lies to GET TRUMP.

CNN has just reported that the whistleblower "didn’t have direct knowledge of the communications," and CNN cited an official that was briefed on the matter. CNN didn't reveal this to their readers until the 22nd paragraph of their GET TRUMP story: “New revelations deepen scandal over Trump whistleblower complaint.” (NOTE: an online story can be edited quickly)

The whistleblower was actually making a claim about information that was not obtained during the course of their work. As a result, it doesn't even meet the requirements of whistleblower status. This information was also provided to CNN by the same official source.

Yeah, after watching that video, I gotta agree. That bastard ScoMo is just bullshitting his way through this entire US trip. Standing there lying like that just to make Trump happy. He must be a damn good actor/liar to be keeping this up over so many days. NOT.

LIBs accuse Trump of being weak and stupid and too accommodating and nice for understanding egos of adversaries and being diplomatic. LIBs wanted Trump to smack Putin in the mouth when they met. LIBs were angry that Trump didn't treat Putin like sh*t. How stupid if you want to get someone to work with you ...

But with ScoMo, it's because you give him the benefit of the doubt for being "a smart leader who understands that the best way to deal with Trump is to stroke his ego."

I get it now.

No, actually, I'm being facetious. I've always understood how that double standard works.

And for the record, just so no braying jacka55 or laughing hyena gets the wrong idea, I admire ScoMo immensely and greatly appreciate the US alliance with Australia.

You've apparently concluded that it was all genuine and above board. Note that I didn't take a position, only said that it should be considered as a possibility. Obviously, if what I said were true, he would have done it sufficiently effectively so that it wouldn't be discovered.

As the cheerleaders are so fond of saying, "you just can't make this up."

Democrats pushing no-meat climate change pledges, cook 10,500 steaks at a Steak Fry in Iowa.

"Do as I say, not as I do."

I guess like Obama's house on the oceanfront, this mmcc no-meat pledge is all nonsense, too.
