Presidents do not pass bills. Presidents can only sign bills into law, or veto. Somehow you must believe that Senate Democrats using Reconciliation to force trillions of dollars of spending on pet projects, as a win. If that were the case, Joe Biden would not have a dismal 40% approval rating. Infrastructure spending is needed in the USA... we strongly disagree on what to spend it on. So far, they have failed to get enough support to do the same with their massive Communist spending bill... but they are desperate to do something before the midterms. They would have better success if they told the truth, cast their votes, and summarily resigned. Donald Trump had the USA totally firing on all cylinders. He did it with minimal political support, and under the worst possible environment. In a few short months, Joe Biden has allowed the country to destroy itself, in every possible way.

Democrat Governor of Colorado declares the Covid pandemic is over... this is a great day. Not often am I in such agreement with a Democrat, and it's a sign that things are changing. Dem governor declares COVID-19 emergency ‘over,’ says it’s ‘their own darn fault’ if unvaccinated get sick | Fox News

Meh... the USA is currently leaderless. Governors are filling the void... some better than others. I recently saw a comic of Uncle Sam sitting on Santa's lap when he asks "What do you want for Christmas?" Uncle Sam responds with... "I'll settle for $1.79 gas and some mean tweets" It's the only time I can think of in history that the USA has a lame duck president in his very first year in office.

There... had to fix that for you. That worked really well, didn't it? I never saw an overcrowded hospital. They locked them up, let no one inside, and not even a picture came out to show it. Unusually intelligent to admit contagious people into a hospital, when they don't even know how to treat them. Plus, any and all doctors that had any success with a treatment, were vilified and discredited. It's like they didn't want it to end. No... they just keep changing things up, and lying the entire time. Anything to keep people too scared to live. Totally blown up as a big nothing. They haven't figured out a way to make it "dangerous" yet, but they got some headlines out of it. WHO: Still no known deaths globally from Omicron so far – HotAir

I had a Bay Breeze, and then two Bloody Mary's with breakfast. What did you have? ... or did you binge watch Deadwood again like me? I completely understand

I have been following all of this... daily... since it began, and everything they do is designed to keep it going. It started with "2 weeks to flatten the curve", and nearly two years later they still want it to keep going. All year long it's been all about vaccines... and they counted it on a chart, pushing it every day, bitching about who won't bend to their will, and then suddenly on November 18th... they stopped counting. All of a sudden, no one cares about how many people have been vaccinated. Now it's all about the deadly Omicron, and everyone must get their boosters. I don't believe a word they say.

I was not saying you were lying at all... I'm saying they are lying. Whenever anyone offers up their own statistics to support their own doomsday theory, and then demands an ultimatum to either support their bullshit, or we all die... experience compels me to say no. Once again... I'm not giving up my freedom because you're afraid of something.

It's being reported out of the state of Oregon that 552 fully vaccinated residents have died of Covid-19. 552 Fully Vaccinated Oregon Residents Died Of COVID-19, Half Received Pfizer Vaccine (ibtimes.com) None of this makes sense. It can't be true. Either someone is lying... or everyone is lying. If 552 fully vaccinated residents died of Covid-19... then the vaccines are ineffective... or simply, they don't work. That means they are lying about the vaccines. If the vaccines are effective... like we have been told... then they are lying about what really killed these people. It's also incredibly possible that they are all lying about everything, and just saying what benefits them the most. My money is on... everyone is lying, about all of it.

It's the 21st century, and they have always been hacks... we just have the internet now.

Like I said... more lies. Which means "we" can't do anything about it... except maybe a few more pandemics... that'll do the trick. More people dying means less people breathing... that's what you really want... am I right?

More lies... Global CO2 emissions have been flat for a decade, new data reveals - Carbon Brief

The problem is no one trusts anyone anymore. Too many lies. Peppermint Patty, from the White House, just told Peter Doocy yesterday that gang smash and grab robberies are caused by Covid-19. It's all lies, and we can't believe a word they say. You're Welcome! Living our lives has always beat your fear of catching a cold. This was very comforting to see...

I'll have mine blackened with lemon.

Fredo has been fired. BREAKING: CNN fires Chris Cuomo | The Post Millennial

I don't get any of those either. So far, and it's been a very long so far, mine has been pretty damned infallible. If it's not broke... don't fix it. My time will come when my time comes. I have had a wonderful life. I'll take a few minutes to thank the million fellow Yellowstone fans that have come to Las Vegas this week to spend millions of their hard-earned dollars in my city on the rodeo. Those wonderful people didn't bring their stupid masks with them. They instead brought their huge middle fingers to show the governor how they feel about his stupid mask mandate. The local authorities will do nothing but smile, because the hotels are full, and everyone is happy. The best selling t-shirt is "Let's Go Brandon!" https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/nevada/rodeo-fans-flaunt-mask-mandate-but-state-regulators-are-watching-2490341/?itm_source=parsely-api I have to fix this headline because it's not long enough to tell the story... "Rodeo fans flaunt mask mandate but state regulators are watching as rodeo fans flaunt mask mandate"

Wow... I guess the vaccines don't work.

I agree, it was devastating. Covid is the only virus to ever cause diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, auto fatalities, drownings, gunshot wounds, and anything else that prevented oxygen from reaching the brain. It also shut down surgeries, chemo therapy, and transplants. The most deadly thing that Covid has caused... is called "Mass Stupidity". I have had Covid-19... it's not "much worse than the flu". I got it from my wife. I lost taste, smell, mild pain in lungs, throat, and headache. It vanished in 10 days. Believe me... I was expecting it to get worse. It did not. I had pneumonia when I was 16. I had a temp of 108 and I was in the hospital for two weeks... they didn't shut the world down because of it, and it didn't kill me.

I've been waiting for the devastating report from South Africa about the new MIB... oh sorry... Omi-whatever variant. Much worse than I expected. Wash the masks and stock up on toilet paper, because the authorities will be coming with chains to bar you inside your domicile. Ground all flights and close the stores! Somebody has the flu. South African doctor says omicron variant symptoms ‘unusual but mild’ | Fox News "It presents mild disease with symptoms being sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two not feeling well," Coetzee explained. "So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer the loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough. There are no prominent symptoms. Of those infected some are currently being treated at home."

The only reason I come to these forums anymore is to give you something to come here for... that's the point.

Not at all. I grew up on the other side of the country, listening to his music, just like everyone else.

Right... they don't work... I get it. Same story, new angle. Let's create a fake crisis, and we'll sell people a cure. If they don't swallow it willingly, we'll force them. Very similar to the Climate Change scam. It's the new MIB Variant now... I have plenty more fuck off variants I haven't used yet. Oh sorry... MIB stands for Mail-In Ballots.

Only stupid people pay more taxes than they have to. What is even more stupid is government spending far more money than they can possibly get from taxation. Their recent brainchild is to force banks to report any transaction over $600.00 to the IRS. Do you believe for a second that they are going after "filthy rich people" with that one? They're going after everyone... to pay for their stupidity. One thing is for certain... anything we do about how we run our elections, we won't be asking Belgium or Canada how to do it.

tl;dr

Stephen Sondheim died... he was 91. He wrote amazing musicals. Just a few of my favorites are Sweeny Todd, Gypsy, West Side Story, and Company. We lost another genius today. We have so few remaining. I'll leave a couple links here of great versions of songs that he wrote. My ears miss him already. Pretty Women - YouTube Adam Driver singing Being Alive in Marriage Story - YouTube RIP my friend.

I agree, but much has changed because of her. Progressives are responsible for her, but they failed to understand that she has only been using them for herself. Progressives have been using her for power... and that is rapidly running out of steam, so they panic. Progressives in panic are not nice people. So instead of just losing, they will burn everything down as they lose. Watch for this new Buttcrust Covid variant... I smell more fear, and mail in ballots.
