But just in case you missed it... Why did Republicans include tax increases under Obama to close the deficit, but didn't do the same under Trump?
I ignored it because it was merely an attempt to deflect from the conversation at hand.....probably included in your talking points.

By all means, keep trying to argue that the power of the purse is with the executive, I'm sure there are a few people out there dumb enough to believe you.

So explaining who passes legislation to reduce the deficit is deflecting from the the discussion about who actually reduces the deficit? Gotcha...

It takes useful idiots to keep it going. The media is mostly just a useful idiot incubator.
As far as I can tell this is a 100% jealousy post, you hate the 1% so bad you want to tear the whole system down so that even if everyone ends up having less, it's ok because you took down those f***ers

Karl Marx, is that really you?

I'm from the left, I love this country and don't want it to fail. And I'm not alone. There's a difference between hating the president and hating the country....

Then why are you not saying anything about the mob tearing down all icons of the founding fathers?

(and now of religion, on private property)

come get some


The irony is that these neo-Marxist college types are some of the softest snowflakes ever raised in human history. They consider opposing views "violence" and talk about feelings all day without being capable of any real work and without the strength to commit to any physical effort

It would be a massacre
Although it would be pretty cool to see libs mount gun turrets on top of their Subaru’s and Prius’. I’m getting a bit of a LOL moment thinking of that vision.

Your comments suggest that you'd rather the country fail than for the bad orange man to win a 2nd term.....that suggests that you are not honest in saying you love this country, rather you love when certain parties are in power in this country.

Your blind hatred for anyone who thinks differently to you is what prevents you from truly loving anything. I pity you.

first honest thing you've written.The values of America are secondary to a president you hate, I think that's accurately what's going on right now with the moderate democrats
