    Democrats held mass rallies too and they had bonfires.

    Bravo, that is an example of both an "alternative fact" and "fake news".

    You bet I do given I taught U.S. history for more than 30 years. Did you forget the President has a veto?

    So, in Conspiracy World, our scientists and pols hope to prove China didn't create SARS-CoV-2? :roll: :roll:
    It appears to have happened in their country. They be more forthcoming.
    You don't appear to have insight in these matters, so why does unsupported assertion merit any attention? Why would knowing one way or the other impact how we might deal with the covid pandemic?
    So, your idea is to do what to China to get them to divulge what they've had plenty of time to hide and swear up and down doesn't exist? Better to renew alliances so we have serious leverage on China.

    First of, it's Joe's parade. His botched withdrawal makes him the master of ceremonies of that three ring circus.

    Second, I've been paying for that parade for all of my working life, which works out to a long, long time and lots and lots of tax dollars.

    How about you? How much you figure you kicked in to fund that boondoggle?

    Whataboutism.

    Anyway, regarding the BLM protests ... they were entirely reprehensible in a pandemic. There are many other ways to express yourself. They ceded a significant portion of their moral authority.

    Americans didn't approve of Trump's covid act and booted him out.

    He lost the popular vote and the Electoral College.

    He couldn't survive being this far under water on by far the most important issue. What could he have been thinking?

    But the man did a good job and didn't deserve what happened to him. His reputation was ruined by negative media coverage echoing Democrat talking points as part of the Biden campaign.

    Lets not be childish.

    Ok, so you are not paying anything for the parade.

    I pay taxes and some of it is used for the military, including 20 yr occupation of Afghanistan.

    The good news is that we won't be paying for it going forward. Are you happy about that?

    People can claim anything they want, but it is true.

    All media driven bullshit narrative. Not sure what more he could have done. The virus was new and we were all learning about it globally. Add to the fact that American population is severely obese and just ripe for the pickings for COVID. Let's not forget idiotic **** like Cuomo stuffing covid positive patients in with the elderly and you have yourself an unavoidable disaster.

    Trump blamed the virus rightfully so on China. It originated from them. It likely came from a lab which back then you couldn't say...but now we can? He told people several times to wear masks. He pushed incentives to get the vaccine out as fast as possible.

    All anyone can come back with is "but he teased Biden for wearing a mask!" And I would say, well ya. Biden, like the left...was wearing the mask as a ****ing prop. As something the population should do but not themselves. As demonstrated by Biden, Palosi, Obama...all of them.

    "Rules for the, but not for me."

    But whatever. The media dictates the narrative. And the media is mostly left leaning. The narrative is driven by the dollar. We are ****ed.

    Veto's can be overridden. Here's the deal. A president does not control the budget. The US Constitution is pretty clear on that.


    The president can make requests or recommendations. A president can communicate his priorities, but the budget is the job of US congress. Evidently civics isn't one of your strengths.

    Are you claiming Biden is not the President?

    Then it’s no wonder so many of our people are completely ignorant about our nation’s history.

    Indeed. Let's be adults and accept the reality that the Taliban parading military equipment that was paid for with American taxpayer dollars is a direct result of Joe Biden's disastrously-botched withdrawal.
    Yes, I did.
    And so did you.
    Yes, and I've always supported a complete withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan. It's just a shame and a tragedy that the Biden administration bungled the withdrawal in such an incompetent manner that the Taliban threw Joe a military parade to show off the weapons and equipment paid for by our tax dollars.

    Joe got the military parade in his honor that Trump didn't. Hooray for Joe.

    Let's NOT be childish. Let's accept the harsh reality of what happened like adults.
