Might want to check facts. I don’t see much communism happening. If anything he is much more of an old-school retail democrat from back in the day when parties, and partisans, actually didn’t immediately cast aspersions on each other and actually worked together reasonably well. I don’t see any seizures of business or five-year plans, though, so I think we’re clear of a communist threat.

If Biden has a fault, it’s that he bends a little too much in the direction of the political winds. His cabinet and veep picks are good evidence of that.

After 1933, government suddenly was taking A LOT from some to give to others, via FICA and other means.

In fact, the Constitution does not mention any economic system other than slavery and that was in another context; the Constitution - Amendment 5- only says that the government will reimburse the owners of it when it is taken. This is what was done when the Lighthouse Act of 1789 was passed. An obscure piece of legislation today, but in its day it was controversial. When it was passed, all state owned lighthouses reverted to the federal government and all privately owned buoys, beacons and public piers were nationalized by the federal government.

The Tariff Act of 1789 was a direct redistribution of wealth. In it, tariffs were raised on some imported goods to make them more expensive and encourage domestic manufacturing. Thus imports would cost more, so another manufacturer, domestic, who could not produce it as cheaply would be able to compete.

Zipping forward to this century, it is the conservative ranchers on the Texas/Mexico border who are fighting in court the federal government taking their land to build a border wall. https://www.texastribune.org/2018/09...-ranching-rio/

In fact, the Founders were very familiar with taking from one to give to another. Here I am not writing about slavery but fences. Some VA counties, and where I live is one of them, still have fence in/fence out laws that date from the colonial era. I can be forced to help pay for my neighbor's boundary fence. https://jonathanturley.org/2007/08/1...-a-fatal-fued/

No quite so fast.

We are in the middle of a pandemic where Biden wants to force the country to mask up. People are told to not have large gatherings. So, Biden going to DE just to watch the Super Bowl with a large gathering of people makes him a hypocrite. You know, do as I say, not as I do.

Try again.

Only after issuing another 100,000 visas after the injunction and was caught doing so, did he finally stop. There are more examples but that one I gave was a really glaring one. Of course, you wouldn't know. You only rely on the MSM for your news---and the MSM handled Obama with kid gloves.

You've got cancel culture reversed, as you are confused. It was the democrats who started cancel culture. It's laughable that you think people like Zuckerberg and Dorsey are conservatives. They started cancel culture by prohibiting those who were conservatives from posting on their platforms. Meanwhile, Dorsey still allows child porn to be posted on his platform.

If people don 't want to associate with conservatives and go as far as to cancel conservatives, then one has to ask oneself why they have become so intolerant of those who don't agree with them.

You don't like cancel culture? Then put the blame squarely where it belongs---and that is on liberals.



Obama did DACA after saying twice himself that he did not have the authority to do so but went ahead and did it anyway admittedly knowing that.

But you'll have to pay for it. Biden is too cheap to send them out.

Try again.
"The NFL, for its part, has consulted with public health officials in preparation for the weekend, and announced a set of protocols including mandatory mask-wearing and social distancing to prevent the spread of Covid at this weekend's game. It has also invited around 7,500 vaccinated health care workers to the game to honor their ongoing work during the pandemic. According to the NFL, some 14,500 people will be in attendance through general admission, and another 2,700 fans in stadium suites."

Biden will be wearing a mask of course, probably two of them. You know, just like Trump and all his fans did at his numerous rallies. Not.

Funny, I didn't see you b*tchin' about those though.
