Nope. those are the facts.you lie, like a rug! or simply believe your fake news???yeah, they pretty much did present a clean bill, and Piglosi trashed it with hundreds of billions in pure Democrat pork.It has happened in every bill, and what got put into it in the end, was important. It isn’t like the Republicans presented a clean bill.Should have never been the case in an emergency bill. To carry on in a business as usual type of way as the nation burns to the ground... It is as repulsive as it gets, and it should be that way to every American with a blood pumping heart.Abortion aside, that was still a list of partisan bullshit she was trying to push.Just like they lied about Pelosi trying to include abortion language in the bill.the reimbursement was for LAB TESTS involved in the Coronavirus testing.... if they did no corona virus testing, then they and other non profits would NOT be reimbursed for them....They aren't murdering innocent human beings, you sick jackal.Neither are bars, pregnancy crisis centers, podiatrists, plastic surgeons, event managers, but none of them are excluded. Do want to try again?PP isn't an essential business. You know that. Stop playing dumb.Why is funding for PP important during a virus epidemic?Would you? Or would you vote for Trump regardless?I’ve never voted democrat. But I will next election. A steaming turd would be better than what we currently have
Would you concern yourself with the background/history of the Democrat, or would you vote for him just because he's not Trump?
That's not how this works.
I asked you a question. If you expect me to answer your, you should answer mine first.
If you're too scared to answer mine, that's perfectly fine. Just have the balls to admit it...
Sure. I can answer it.
I would concern myself with the background and positions of the candidate. In fact that is one reason I voted for Obama. I vote for someone who's positions most closely match mine, and who's integrity and character is at least not totally off the board.
And that brings us to Trump. Zero policy positions in common. And a horrible character and background. None of the Dems running in the primaries come close to that bad in terms of character. The main issue I had with many is - too far to the left. But, it might help to rebalance things. Any of them would have my vote over Trump. In fact there are other Republicans who I would have loved to see run that I could have voted for (Colin Powell).
Now your turn. Or will you run away?
I run from nothing.
If someone on the Democratic side comes along and has ideals which align with mine, they could get my vote.
Could.
In the above, we aren't so different. There are some Republicans who I could have voted for. It all depends on how they align with me on what I consider important.
They would need to align with mine on the topics of the 2nd Amendment and illegal immigration. If they don't, they won't get my vote. Right now, no one on the left shares my views on that.
Trump, on the other hand, does. I don't really care that he's a crass buffoon. I don't care that he said "pussy" back in the 80's or that his airline went bankrupt. Honestly, I couldn't care less than I already do, simply because I understand that there are a myriad of factor which go into a business failing. Flatheads on the left just say "It's because of Trump", and that's just not true.
To me....I care to a degree. When flatheads on the right say "he is a successful businessman therefor he will be a great president" - I question the claim. If someone filed for bankruptcy once, that's understandable, but when it's 6 times, that is a red flag. I don't care so much about infidelity, or occasional crudity - but someone who is so thin skinned that he punches down at every perceived slight, who openly refers to colleagues with insulting nicknames, who promotes conspiracy theories and lies, constantly, even about inconsequential things....it's that character package that is a deal breaker for me in addition to the policy positions. Frankly - if he ran on the left, and lined up with all my positions - I still could not vote for him. Sometimes character can be so bad, it overrules everything else.
Bring me a Democrat who's running for President who wants to legitimately combat illegal immigration and doesn't want to give them driver licenses or college educations, and that person could get my vote. Bring me a Democrat who's running for President who understands that more gun laws will do nothing to combat gun violence, and who's more interested in taking guns from criminals instead of law abiding citizens, and that person could get my vote...
I can understand that. I hold passionate beliefs on certain things as well.
Why is funding for ANY business important? Why single out one only?
It's your pork.
HAD NOTHING to do with performing abortions, that was a rightwing republican, MADE UP LIE.
Both parties included partisan bullshit, and it is to be expected. I have never seen a clean bill...have you?
Part of it is the art of negotiation. Each side puts a bunch of stuff in which satisfies their side’s special interests and knowing it will likely be offered up to be chopped in the final version, but the important stuff gets in.
