"If stupidity got us into this mess, why can't it get us out?" -- Will Rogers

There are a lot of socialists who oppose free speech for others because it threatens their conceit that their brainwashing made them intelligent.

It's easier and faster to complete a two thousand long mile construction project across the desert than to get Congress to stop giving money to enemies of the country. OK. If it's that quick and easy, go do it. But those with a deranged view of Trump, whether they think he's worse than he is or think he's a damned sight better than he is, won't stop trying to gaslight us.

How many people have you accused of being Biden supporters, you Biden supporter?

They wish. No, oyarde is right. The Fed isn't even like Band Aid, which fixes nothing but covers things up well. The Fed is more like methamphetamines. You forget about your problems for a little while, but when you wake up they're worse.

So, Miss Lindsay is giving him credit for it because...

Why would you do that? When you get control of the ball, you get four plays to advance ten yards toward the goal. If you don't, they take the ball away from you and you get no points. If you do get ten yards, they say, you got a first down, and give you four more plays. Better than a wall of text?

When your team has the ball, you get 4 "downs", or plays, in football. The first play is first down, then second down, third down and fourth down. But if you go a total of at least 10 yards on those plays, then it goes back to first down and you get to keep going toward the endzone. On the 4th "down", typically there will be a punt to the other team, or if you are close enough to the endzone you can go for a field goal kick for 3 points, or if you are like 1 or 2 yards away from getting your 10 yard "first down" and desperate for points you might play the 4th down to try get that last couple yards and reach it.. but if you don't get to the 10 yard minimum on your fourth down, the other team gets the ball wherever you ended up.. which is typically why you would punt the ball down the field as far as possible on fourth down, to the other team, so they have to go all the way across the field to get their touchdown. The guys on the "line of scrimage" in the middle are the "linemen" and they have rules, for example, the offensive line is trying to defend the quarterback or the running back from being tackled. They aren't allowed to "hold" the other players with their arms, like hug them, or grab them, etc.. they have to use their body and arms to "block" them. So let's say it's third down and 4 yards to go to get the first down, the tv screen will say "3rd and 4". Let's say they are in the middle of the field on the 50 yard line and they pass the ball for 15 yards, it is caught and they are tackled. That would be a first down.. but the ref throws a yellow flag for a penalty on the offense, holding, 10 yard penalty. They would have to go back 10 yards from the original line of scrimage, so they would be back on the 40 yard line for the other team and they would have to go 14 yards on the next play, otherwise they would likely need to punt the ball. The head referee would get on the mic and say, "Holding. Offense. 10 yard penalty. Replay 3rd down" However, it's a really important play toward the end of the game, the coach doesn't think there was actually any holding and so the coach asks the refs to "review" the footage. There is a small limit to how many times you can do this. The refs review the video footage and find the coach was correct, there was no holding, the ref just had a bad angle and thought there was holding.

No shit...this is just getting silly now.

According to McConnell, he delayed it and held it up by daring to question it. Fucking Trump's a hell of a guy: he can support it, be powerless to stop it and delay it all at the same time. Fucking guy's Superman. McConnell says Tucker Carlson and Trump's waffling delayed crucial Ukraine aid

The guy you quoted in your sig never sold out.

But of course, comrade. They're not different at all. How could I not see something so obvious?

Wait, isn't democracy about majorities? And isn't DEI about, like, minorities? You can't fool me. Those aren't the same thing at all.

Um, like, people who were there at the time, like Thomas Massie, said the only reason Democrats and RINOs got to vote on it at all was because Johnson did a completely unprecedented steamroller on the members of his own party in the committee. According to this guy Whitney who wrote the OP, Trump helped him do it. So, yeah, Trump seems to have made it possible for a completely insufficient number of Republicans to vote no as it passed by. Er, like, yay?
