There's that reading comprehension issue again. I was talking about you, not "workers". You'd better find a manual labor job that doesn't require reading.

Can you imagine having a constantly whining, bloviating, repetitive, underachieving know-nothing who thinks he knows everything about everybody as an employee?

Seriously reminds me of Donald Trump.

It would, but it wouldn't make a difference.

I'd ask you to cry more, but I'm sure you'll do it regardless. It's the one constant thing with you: The whining about everybody and everything... the constant victimhood and spewage of how everybody has done you wrong... very Trumpian indeed.

Those that attack me and troll instead of having discussions would continue to do so, no one would tell them to stop and when it didn't work and I fought back I would be penalized.

Somebody call the waaaaaaaaaaaaambulaaaaaaaaaaaaaaance
That is what happened the last time I did not fight back for a few weeks and then fought back.

Cry more.

It would reflect better on you if you would also not wait to point out how I could do better when I respond and point out how commenters such as JFC could do better before I respond.

Free advice: Get an education and some kind of experience. Until you do, you just sound like a whiney five-year-old child. You really shortchanged yourself when you neglected to do educate yourself, and it shows in everything you whine about. You sound exactly like your bio describes you, and that's a tragedy you caused all on your own. :)

What's a "King Kong Capitalist"? Someone who climbs skyscrapers and swats bi-planes while trading stocks?

You are certainly giving a master class in how to not promote an idea. "Deathocrats and Republikillers", stupid names convince few and make you look like a left wing crank. Which is probably accurate, but still... No one is going to take you seriously with that act.

Explain why big money is a problem. What legislation has Biden championed or shot down that made him a pawn of big money? Who is buying and what are they buying, specifically? You are trying to convince us of a utopia without ever describing it. Pushing the "Big Problem" without ever telling why it's the big problem and not just another problem among many. Without backing your accusations up, you are just peddling conspiracy theories, name calling and lies and frankly we have had enough of that BS for the last four years...

[28] Assuming that all 100 senators show up, it will require 67.

How probable is this alternative???

What if, a lot of Republican Senators who are secretly sick of Trump but publically still too afraid of him, simply not show for an impeachment trial vote???

Then, it doesn't take 67 votes to convict Trump. It only takes 2/3 vote of those present....

If, for example, only 75 Senators were present, then a guilty vote would require only 51 yes votes....

Before anyone asks, it only requires 51 Senators to be present for a quorum to conduct business.

Calling Liz's hero "an enemy of America" is a fine example of what makes you a troll. Rational discussion it isn't. It's time for you to acknowledge the facts and the truth about yourself.

Psychological projection of your irrationality isn't discussing and neither is your endless, boring, repetitive spamming of unfounded assertions and conspiracy theories.

Your bio says you quit your job to work on your scam full time. I don't need to discredit you. You're good at it without any assistance.

Taking care of your mother is OK with me. I'm sure she pays better than One Demand and affords you plenty of time to troll - just don't expect the government to pay you extra to do it. The pandemic hasn't taken it away from you.

So, we just let Republicans get away with that nonsense!?

Absolutely not!

That is all the more reason for a pubic persuasion campaign based on facts and the truth to counteract all of that.

I mean, all of that would cost orders of magnitude LESS than the costs of doing nothing on that front.

I agree about universal healthcare and always have. I used to work for Blue Cross and Humana and I regularly voted against my employers for all the good it did. There simply is not enough public support for it in this country.

The proposed Dem relief plan includes $400 per week in unemployment benefits. It's stingy, but trolls pretending that multiple "one-time" payments are intended to be unemployment relief are lying. You don't get unemployment benefits if you quit your job to sit at home and troll the internet.

There would be no need for 15 dollar minimum wages, unemployment benefits, etc. with a BMI.</i?

I don't know whether that is a one or the other proposition but, I think a BMI is an idea worthy of discussion.

The employer that has to pay a living wage gets the short end of the stick? Poor baby.

Apparently you think that workers getting the short end of the stick is preferable.

There's that reading comprehension issue again. I was talking about you, not "workers". You'd better find a manual labor job that doesn't require reading.

I think it is time to acknowledge that a resilient economy is intricately linked to public health and universal health care. If this pandemic has taught us nothing else then it has exposed the critical relationship between the economy and health. It is so important that people be supported as they comply with health measures designed to save lives during a health crisis.

You can't have one without the other. Health and the economy are inextricably linked.

Keep digging that hole. You sound more idiotic by the minute. Biden does not have a cult aside from Liz and she's a Canadian.

Those multiple "onetime" payments are economic stimulus, not rent payments.

Unemployment benefits are separate. Paying lazy, dumb trolls like you to sit at home and troll is not included. Get a job. Bernie's gonna do what he can to make the minimum wage $15. Your employer will get the short end of that stick.

But, it would reflect better on you if you didn't.

What shall we call your completely false, bizarre, and believable only to simple-minded cultists conspiracy theory? D-anon?

I've already received TWO "one-time payments" and the Dems are proposing a third.

On planet Earth, there will not be a few hundred million more deaths due to the hoax virus or the lack of one time payments or anything else. You're confused (to say the least). That's all happening on Planet Dore.

*note, it's in a safe format, FB, Twatter and the home shopping network all saw fit to limit the fresh call to arms on Jan 20 in this iteration of the perpetration of Trump's need to put a bigger bullseye on his dome.

Indeed, the Hitlerian parallels are rife, one last scathing indictment of the American educational system and its obnoxious tendency toward pan-American trope-revisionist half-truths and demi-understanding of historical fact.

History recorded that, Hitler, while in jail for his part in his Putsch, wrote Mien Kampf or rather, lazily, dictated it to Rud(y)olf Hess the soon to be former Reichslieterand Obergruppenfuhrer.

[1] While Hitler never incited a mob to over-run the Reichstag, he did, however, have Goering raise it to the ground, blame and execute a mentally challenged bystander, enact the Enabling Act and eventually inaugurate Kristallnacht and steer Germany inexorably toward mass extermination of his own people and the Jewish, Gypsy and communists of Europe before it was all said and done.

Hitler droned on...

"it remained for the Jews, with their unqualified capacity for falsehood, and their fighting comrades, the Marxists, to impute responsibility for the downfall [of Germany in WWI] precisely to the man who alone had shown a superhuman will and energy in his effort to prevent the catastrophe which he had foreseen and to save the nation from that hour of complete overthrow and shame. By placing responsibility for the loss of the world war on the shoulders of Ludendorff they took away the weapon of moral right from the only adversary dangerous enough to be likely to succeed in bringing the betrayers of the Fatherland to Justice. All this was inspired by the principle — which is quite true in itself — that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily, and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes."

We see, once we stumble through the labyrinthian blather for which Hitler made use of in his spoken word, he isn't actually laying claim to the methodology as his own cunning invention, he claims to use the 'Jewish propensity for lying' against them...

Trump has shown none of this kind of subtlety in his tsunami's of bullshit over the last few years. His strategy has been to tell so many pointless lies that they have become more of white noise than a hollering of a big whopper of a porkie...The latest lie, that the election was stolen will fall away with time, even the GOP have to admit the last election very much followed the pattern of American political reality after a first term, that of splitting the power of the nation between the municipal, state and federal levels so no one man/woman can have too much power for too long, Trump's support, never inclusive, panned-out as a serious rebuke of his leadership, three hundred k of corpses might be just as likely a reason for his defeat as the Dems so expertly rigged the election to beat Trump, yet so miserably failed to retain all their seats in the house...hell knows why they would go to all that trouble and not get the job done right, I'll wager the foolish people put in charge of Clinton's election nobble, got the popular vote right and forgot about the 'rust-belt', it's 70,000 dubious votes and the need to get both scams on the same page at the same time.

Dunces.

LL&P

I cannot help but think back to Trump being interviewed before one of his super speader events and was asked if he thought it was safe to have hundreds of people wearing no masks and pressing in tightly to be closer to him — Trump said he was not concerned about catching COVID-19 because he would be over 12 feet away from the crowds straining to see him! HE WAS SAFE!!! It never occurred to Trump to be concerned with the safety of anyone else...because how would that benefit Trump?

I had assumed that Twitter would ban him after January 20.

The comparison to the Hitler years in Germany has been made and is wholly apt . Which should strike a chord in the heart of all people who love justice and believe in principles of fairness and equality and in the promise of America. Of course, even the Nazis didn't incite an insurrection on their own Reichstag. Ahem.

As it stands, America has a another chance to rise above the hatred, nationalism and white supremacy. Who knows, it could be the last one. I know one thing for sure, that the American people chose THIS moment in time to elect Senator Biden their president is nothing short of miraculous to this observer from out in the world.

And, still, the world, once again, is looking to America for global leadership by example on the critical and existential challenges of our time, none more serious than climate change and shutting down a wholly controllable virus.
