Anything you have left you better save it. The price of popcorn will be getting higher as the gallons you need for your car.

Bye bye medicare.

“I don’t know whether to be concerned or not,” House Budget Chair John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) said in an interview. “I’ve been told not to be concerned.”

Very reassuring

Seems like Democrats are trying to set up a high stakes game of chicken where the car is the budget. That type of thing has not ended well when Republicans tried it in the past so it will be interesting to see how this goes.

Damn I thought they'd wait a while before trying this.

The sheer brazen balls of these demorats!

Drug prices are going to go up. Energy prices are going to go up. Medicare and such are going to be cut. What progress is the Democrat party trying to create?

Tightening their grip on power.

Once that is fully secured, now and forevermore, then they will bring about the utopia, comrade!

 

[Doomsought]

Drug prices are going to go up. ... Medicare and such are going to be cut.

Medicare getting cut might accidentally reduce drug prices. Health Insurance affects prices as an artificial demand.

They voted for Biden: of course they are!

Or they're dead.

Only two kinds of people voted for Biden, idiots and zombies.

Is this a typo or am I retarded?

 

[ParadiseLost]

Is this a typo or am I retarded?

Its a typo; its suppose to say reductions.


Also, requiring someone other than the President to concur with a nuclear launch defeats a good part of the point of nukes.

 

[Typhonis]

Is this a typo or am I retarded?

It's probably a typo. Then again modern education doesn't. An educated critically thinking population is not in the governments best intrest.

 

[LindyAF]

On the cuts subject I'm guessing Rs will fold and cover for Dems, so they'll get the benefit with no cost.

If people still fall for Biden's/Democrats' lies and vote for them, I'd feel more sad than angry or amused. It'd just prove that most Americans now are so goddamn mentally deficient that they should be extras on the set of an Idiocracy remake or sequel.

They wanted Trump gone in return for an establishment politician fucking them over once again.

Yup: I call them "fuckwits".

Yup: I call them "fuckwits".

It's obvious to me if I was an American. Biden was part of Obama's bloc that started shit in Libya and moved on to Syria because dictator man bad.

Trump kept it quiet for 4 years and I trusted him enough to punch back but keep a distance for de-escalation.

Come the fuck on. Biden getting peace in the middle east? It's back to finish the job in Syria by bombing the shit out of them to oust Assad.

 

[Culsu]

Not exactly sure Senile Joe and his handlers have thought this through. There's that small country called Russia that has a massive economic, military and strategic stake in Syria and its regime that they won't give up (Syria not only being their foothold in the ME but also being their only military port in the Mediterranean). The past ten years you barely avoided getting into a direct confrontation with them. A Biden admin agressively pursuing its goals (whatever the fuck those might be beats me) in Syria will sooner or later run afoul of them.
