Fair point? Nah, it's actually a dumb point. Climate change (which is questionable in the first place) won't have dire effects until thousands of years from now. On the other hand, irresponsible spending could very well have repercussions in 5 or 10 or 20 years. It doesn't surprise me that the libbie doesn't understand this though. 🙄 |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18777 | Trump ending his term like a spoiled petulant schoolboy might not be good for America but it sure is a political gift to Biden. Trump ignoring the major technological hack, ignoring his own behind schedule vaccination plan to have18 million more vaccinated by 2021 resisting a smooth transition, virtually ignoring a significant event of the Nashville bombing while playing golf nearly every day since the election...it's political alibi for Biden all the way down the line. Biden can play the hand about the Trump mess left to him for anything he needs to. It's highly ironic as Trump may appear to think he's hurting Biden. He's hurting America, he's hurting his own record, but he's actually helping Biden politically. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Biden will take no responsibility for any failures, but of course will accept credit for any successes. After all, it IS what politicians do! Is there anyone here who, no matter what the facts are, is not expecting Joe Biden to say ‘the economy was worse than we thought’ and ‘COVID-19 was worse than we were led to believe’ ..... I could go on..... |

I agree, every politician will do that. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

At this point Trump could care less what happens in GA His eyes are on a (maybe huge, probably small) Trump rally in DC Jan 6 11am. They are still trying to determine where. I'm sure the DC Mall is out, crowd will look too small :-) Its the last crybaby move to try to change the election He gets a big crowd, he does not attend the inauguration He gets a Tulsa sized crowd, he may realize its over and attend.

I'm not sure I totally agree. A veto being overridden just means you have a POTUS who is extremely out of touch with what Congress (and, by theoretical extension, the public) wants on that particular matter.

If we ever again have both houses one party and the President the other party there will be vetoes up the wazoo. Nowadays, the Democrats in the House are happy to pass any number of bills they KNOW have no chance of becoming law, while the Republicans in the Senate wait until a negotiation between the House, Senate and White House has come to an agreement. |
