Cute projection. How's your messianic "Hope" picture of Obama holding up?

I remember those photos of “The Messiah”, some with Halos! The styrofoam columns and sycophantic media, etc. What a Cult that was!

Still is - do you see how the (small) crowd always acts when soetoro appears with plugs? plugs is wandering around alone muttering to himself while everyone is swarming soetoro.

I never saw Obama as a messiah. Trump worshipers made a video which Trump reposted: "And on June 14, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker.' So God gave us Trump.

God said, ‘I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, fix this country, work all day, fight the Marxists, eat supper, then go to the Oval Office and stay up past midnight at a meeting of the heads of state.’ So God made Trump.” It continues: created by God to "fight the Marxists" and "call out the fake news" "arms strong enough to rustle the Deep State and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. for their tongues as sharp as a serpent's." "arms strong enough to rustle the Deep State and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild." LOL!

And yet you still can't argue on his policies and accomplishments. The mere fact that you just dedicated such a long expanse of text to *prove* that you *aren't a cultist*, betrays your dishonesty, mightily, lol.

I approve many but not all of Biden's policies. I think aid to Ukraine has been effective in preventing Putin from achieving his ambitions, his focus on renewable energy, environmental protection limiting oil drilling in pristine wilderness in Alaska & other places, crackdown on junk fees, the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act to prevent future Jan 6s, the Inflation Reduction Act which allocated $20 B to help farmers with climate smart agriculture , student debt relief, etc. I think he should have acted sooner on the border but I approve his compromises in the bipartisan border bill which republicans REQUESTED and then shot down because they don't want any changes in border policies so they can continue to blame Biden.

If you actually paid for Biden's garbage policies, the ones you agree with, then I'd wish you luck and tell you to carry on. But you believe in worthless trash and expect adults who know better to pay, both financially and socially.

Well, I disagree. Repubs believe in short term gains over long term consequences every time. The US is pumping more oil than it did during the Trump admin since there are many oil contracts which could which could not be changed.

Hilarious.

I’ll tell you what the “long term consequences” are for Biden’s policies.

Student debt relief, along with ridiculous minimum wage increases, will result in skyrocketing inflation.

Biden’s open border policy will result in a one party system since he is basically dangling amnesty in exchange for Democratic loyalty.

His pathetic foreign policy has projected extreme weakness where only strength is respected.

He will likely lead us into WW3 so maybe none of this even matters.

Oh, yeah…but Trump sent a few mean tweets so it’ll be justified, right?

Immigrants can't vote n national elecrions unless they are citizens. Repubs hate homeless people but many cannot afford housing on the salaries offered by stores, restaurants, etc. Trump would have dropped out of NATO and handed ukraine over to putin while he has been forced into a costly 3 yr. War by biden. Trump engineered the withdrawal from Afghanistan, getting the founder of taliban released from Pakistan jail then sending Pompeo to negotiate with him. Biden followed through but Kabul fell sooner than expected. The Palestinian problem started because hamas wanted to interrupt saudi Arabia normalizing relations with israel.Israel.

"Don't fight uphill, me boys..."

NW Citizen, do you believe that illegal immigrants should be allowed to vote in non national (State & Local) elections? Also, do you agree with States requiring proof of citizenship to vote in Federal/National elections? … such as law recently passed in Arizona:

I think it is up to the state if the want to allow illegal residents to vote. I think there should be some identification verification - cards, signatures, etc.

Some truths, some untruths, some subjectivity.

I do appreciate the dialogue though without getting aggressive and demeaning.

I am always civil although right wingers make personal attacks on me frequently. I figure it's a reflection on them.

Probably because you're a lying sociopath

LOL!! Just like the Afghanistan withdrawal 'plan' that was the only "Trump policy that plugs couldn't change?"

What about when Biden reversed Trump's Executive Order that made Epi-Pens and Insulin affordable to low income people? Trump brought the price down from thousands to just a few dollars... and Biden undid that FOR TWO YEARS... so he could take credit for Trump's Executive Order at the right time. How much do you approve of that? How much do you approve of him killing people in exchange for political points from people like you?

It would be nice if you knew the details of the the Trump's actions. In the first place, the order would have only helped low-income patients at select clinics (FQHCs, community clinics that receive government funding to help vulnerable populations) not the majority of diabetics. The National Association of Community Health Centers called the order well-intentioned, but said it wasn’t the right solution because the red tape that would have been created by tracking which patients are eligible for the discount would be so expensive and time-consuming that it would make it harder for the clinics to do their jobs.

So I looked at the exec order. It says "Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), receive discounted prices through the 340B Prescription Drug Program on prescription drugs.

'It is the policy of the United States to enable Americans without access to affordable insulin and injectable epinephrine through commercial insurance or Federal programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, to purchase these pharmaceuticals from an FQHC at a price that aligns with the cost at which the FQHC acquired the medication.'

This means that only people who do NOT have commercial insurance or Medicare or Medicaid can get these drugs are a low price at FQHCs. That is what the articles I posted said. It doesn't look like you read it. So where is the lie?

You're lying

AP News is CIA-controlled... they are lying to you... and you're eating it up. You will not survive... you're a zombie. It would be nice if you would stop trusting authority, or working on behalf of it. You totally dodged my question... because you're lying.

And there were people who thought Obama could control the seas and was the Messiah. Even TV commentators who should have been neutral saying Obama’s election gave them “Tingles” up their legs. Are you like that, are you one of them?

Anyone can take extremes, and apply it to everyone. Narrow minded and judgemental people do that.
