“Before the speech, Republicans were saying Biden was old, weak, gaffe-prone, senile, a pushover,” Tapper said during a CNN segment, showcased by Mediaite, before showing a clip of Hannity referring to the president during his speech to Congress as “jacked-up Joe.”
“Can Republicans have it both ways?” Tapper mused during the Friday night broadcast. “I mean, this also reminds me of the fact that they accuse him of being a dumb puppet fool and also this criminal mastermind. It just seems like, you’ve gotta pick a lane here, right?”

I see some words that you and annaas have used trying to tell me how good things are. like fiat money that is backed by nothing but the governments word.
quan·ti·ta·tive eas·ing
/ˌkwän(t)əˌtādiv ˈēziNG/
nounFinance
noun: quantitative easing; plural noun: quantitative easings
the introduction of new money into the money supply by a central bank.
Sounds like blowing hot air into a balloon until it pops!
Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, DStJ, PC, FRS, HonFRSC (née Roberts; 13 October 1925 – 8 April 2013), was a British stateswoman and Conservative politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990.

However, why do I need to care about what Margaret Thatcher thinks of socialism?
She was just a tool for the wealthy, who crushed the lives of workers and initiated a decline of the working class and an enormous increase of horrible poverty in the UK, which also caused a massive decline in their economy. That clearly demonstrates that her ideas resulted in the opposite of what she's saying there.
The second lady says socialism isn't good, because printing money causes inflation. She's correct that printing money causes inflation, but that's capitalism! It has no relation with socialism, just your straw-man of socialism. Scarcity is a capitalism created method to elevate prices, to raise the profits for the wealthy. There is no scarcity, there are just too many people who want everything for themselves.
Socialism isn't raising taxes and giving free lunches to people, it's a complete alternative to capitalism. Think of it as everyone being shareholders of the public wealth, which is fully democratically controlled. Everyone who works accumulates ownership of the working cooperation, which is also your social security, while simultaneously it provides you voting rights of the working cooperation. Managers will just be elected worker representatives. Instead of an owner or large shareholders being dictators of your working life, you take part in a democratized community of working owners. It will probably sound like science fiction to you, but there are steps towards it. It doesn't require one big shift.
The problem with capitalism is that it creates worthless consumerism, which doesn't efficiently serves the needs of everyone, but only the few reaping the rewards, while it damages the world for everyone. It's a system that rewards selfishness, which will end human civilization. The only solution is a system of total democracy. Since ownership means power, there will never be full democracy, until ownership itself is controlled by democracy. That's the basis of socialism. There's just one weakness; it poses that people are smart enough to not destroy civilization or nature supporting it. In any case, if humanity is that stupid, I want us all to be a part in our destruction and not just a few selfish assholes.

Tim Scott supports TRUMP
Ramaswamy, supports TRUMP.
so when is the lady that can't get her history right going to concede that she don't have a snow balls chance in hell of getting the nomination?
No harm intended.
Far right people like you would never vote for an Indian woman.
She ordered the removal of the Confederate battle flag that had flown at the state capitol as a memorial to Confederate veterans for decades,not causing any harm to anyone.
She was ask if slavery was the reason for the civil war and she got it right to start with and said no but then,under the pressure, she said,"yes".
Truth is her state and others were selling cotton to europe and washington imposed a heavy tax on it.that was the root of the problem. revisionist changed it over time.
"crickets"
Just what I thought.
That's what makes him a great conman; he used 'science' to his advantage.
His father's money most likely still payed for his graduation though.
Fred Trump surely tried to install some business sense into his fail-son,
who he needed to take over his legacy.
It partially worked. Donald went bankrupt 7 times, but with all the dirty tricks
he learned, the Trump Organization is still not dead yet.
To a candidate who's considered to be the incumbent by the base, that's not bad.
But, don't get me wrong, I WANT Nikky Haley to drop out.
I want your only option to be Trump, just like Democrats only have Biden.
Then when Trump gets convicted of one of his 92 indictments,
many Republicans and most independents will stay home in November
or even turn to Biden as the lesser of two evils.
If he's not convicted, the democracy of America is done for.
If Nikky Haley becomes president, I gamble it has a 50/50 chance.
just because she's not as crazy as the rest.
Because of MAGA, even George Bush is starting to look good now.
Don't fall for the trap of ever receding standards, raise them.
But you notice leo hasn't responded since I ask about his education? He calls Trump uneducated but apparently is not well educated himself or he would simply reply with what his education level is.
or drops dead from his fat heart?
At least Democrats have Kumala when Biden croaks.
I don't think the dem's want Kamel
He's a scamming big pharma goon. He's a RINO through and through.
He's exactly the same as Nikki Haley, with different presentation.
He knows how to press your button, because he's a great snake-oil salesman.
The fact that you lot fall for it, shows you have no judge of character.
For a lefty, Kamala Harris isn't anything to hope for either.
That's why I added the crying face, not because of Biden croaking.
It would be nice to actually have a progressive in line,
but the Democrats silenced the ones running very effectively.
The best the left can hope for is a Gavin Newsom or a Pete Buttigieg.
Anyone to the left of those corporate approved options will be fought
tooth and nail.
That's why it's so ridiculous to call the Democrats 'socialists, communists
and Marxists'. All those people are capitalists to the bone.
biden has been in politics for decades, and done nothing lately but make us laughing stock of the world.

sure the capitol thing happened in 2020 but biden admin's handling of it has made things worse.
because he would force you to take a dangerous vaccine that doesn't work,
if he made money from it. He's the type of crook that the FDA is intended for. However, due to the Trump administration cutting regulations and cutting funds to the FDA, people like Ramasmarmy can fuck over the tax-payer, make health insurance even more expensive and put patients at risk.
He's a cancer to society that needs to be cut out.
Damn, you were all ready to hang Fauci, but you might make a guy,
who's a million times worse, your president.
You don't need a businessman for president, you need someone who cares about the American people and not just about their wealth.
Without wealth no one is able to work for a good salary to afford the American Dream.
Without wealth, innovation that we both agree is important, is not invested in and never gets off the ground.
Wealth is not your enemy.
Miss use of it can be.
Over taxation of it, prompts it to leave.
If you were here in the US and you designed a more better solar panel in your back yard shed, how would you ever get it to the forefront without a wealthy investor or a group of people willing to invest some of their disposable income into your venture?
Or if you were here in the US and you came up with a treatment for Alzheimer's, how would you get it to the world without investors? Most investors that make a noticeable impact are wealthy. Due to over regulation, the cost of medicine is to high.
The pharaohs were incredibly wealthy. They had palaces full of gold.
The rest of the people were just working for their glory and their pyramids.
The pharaoh we find in his tomb. All around it, the skeletons of his people,
just buried in the sand. All of their bones completely worn out, from pulling stones for their GOD's glory and trip to the afterlife, where they would serve him again, for ever. A bullshit story, but effective.
Those pharaohs got their people well indoctrinated to believe it.
Just like you! Subservient to the wealthy who control you, with bullshit!
Most of the Alzheimer's research is publicly funded and by charity.
As soon as it delivers a good drug, big pharma will buy it for peanuts
and then make a gazillion dollars from selling it, at top dollar.
That's why medicine is so expensive, because you will pay your last penny
to survive, to the wealthy fucks who exploit that fact.
In socialist healthcare, the research is still publicly funded, but when it's ready for use, the cost can be a fraction of capitalist healthcare, because we wouldn't make useless leaches wealthy from it. Society will just benefit from healthy people, who can contribute to society more.
That regulation is there to PROTECT you. As someone who doesn't trust vaccines, that should be a given to you. Would you trust vaccines more,
if the manufacturer could just claim that it works, without any oversight?
How about hart medication or insuline. Do you trust big pharma to give a crap about quality or long term side effects, if there is no one checking them?
You know business is all about maximizing profits. They have no problem with cutting corners or plainly screwing their customers.
The Ford Pinto was a death trap, for a cost saving of $11.
That's why cars manufacturers were regulated more. It saves lives.
But you believe their bullshit story that it impedes innovation.
Regulation encourages innovation, because it challenges manufacturers
and it levels the competition.
Do you see how wildly inconsistent your ideas are with each other?
There is truth to that, I agree.
So what alternative do you suggest for guaranteeing the safety and efficacy
of medication and medical equipment?
Do you think a defunded FDA can do that job better?
One example, for cars. There are many related to pharmaceuticals, but those are however not as easy to communicate. The Ford Pinto was a death trap, because the manufacturer calculated that saving costs of $11 per car, was cheaper than the expected costs of court settlements, that would result from the accidents.

You know what happens in countries that have lax regulation?
They will find melamine, a toxic chemical in baby formula.

If you think American producers won't do that, you're terribly naive.
Do you remember East Palestine, Ohio? Rail companies work hard, lobbying the politicians, to have their regulation relaxed, to save a bit of money. People end up at the receiving end again.
Any time one regulation falls short somewhere, only a bit,
people die or get poisoned or get their house stolen from them
or get scammed or get exploited. These are not exceptions, it's the rule.
The media is lying to you, that regulation is harmful and should be cut,
because they get paid for it. They are all owned by corporations that profit from cutting costs, that they are forced to make, to protect you.
You're a sucker, if you believe their lies.
Government demands safer cars. Manufactures come up with nylon straps to hold people in their seats and now government requires them. Ah that was 1 hell of a sales pitch, Has saved countless millions of dollars as opposed to building actual safer cars. Nylon straps are cheap to produce and the bribing paid off big time.
I don't guess you have responded to side impact car crashes which the seat belt yanked the persons neck in 2 have you? I personally watched a wreck happen and found the poor woman in the car ,neck broken, by the seat belt.
Ever saw a steerwheel and steering shaft thru a mans chest? because he was held in place by a lap belt in a older truck?
trying to comply with the stupid law got him killed.
Just 2 examples,not to mention the neck and shoulder injurys I suffered from a seat belt.
That is government regulation. Not giving the citizen a choice.
Oh not to mention the air bag shit going on. I had to take my truck in to get the air sack changed,or so they claimed, I don't think they did a damn thing to it.

Quality control in other countries is a concern.
Um I fuss about regulations, well may not be a "regulation" but it was a way to regulate.
" Medicare, which eventually scaled back its premium hike, imposed strict limits on who could get it." In other words fuck you old people,curl up and suffer and die is what medicare said.
I talk about investors, well,
"Last year, Biogen started an unsuccessful search for outside financing or partners to help with Aduhelm. That was done as part of a review the company did of its research and development program.":
More money could have saved this medicine and helped people.
If you have never watched someone suffer from and eventually die with Alzheimer's, i hope you don't. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, or biden, or even leo,
Just as i indicated.1 of the main causes of suffering and pain and death for the very people they so called provide medical cost for, are denied the medicines for it.
That's regulation in the form of dictation.
Does insurance provide you the medicines that you need?
Doctors routinely prescribe Colcrys and the patient has to get a new script.
If Medicare or insurance does not approve a medicine, the doctor can appeal by stating IT’S MEDICALLY NECESSARY.
Many times the drug manufacturers give help with the co-payments. There’s also GRANTS provided by groups that are established to help people fight a certain decease. WOODY58 takes FARCIGA for his kidney decease. The co-payment is in the clods but, he applied and got a $10K/year grant renewable yearly for ever that pays JUST THE CO-PAYMENT.
If you are truly “poor” as per Federal definition then you can apply for Medicaid. That can cover the co-payment. Also, in the case of catastrophic deceases, Medicare requires that meds to treat that decease have low co-payments. Again, WOODY58 gets his insulin for $33/ month.
So, Phart, I’m sure there are occasional times you may be right, but, for the most part, Medicare works.
best treat your health issues. Nothing else!
Trump just says stuff that his cult wants to hear.
He doesn't really believe half of the shit he says.
He only cares about himself and doesn't really have any values.
He tried to overturn the election, only because he cannot admit that he lost.
Meanwhile the Republicans behind the scene are planning to end Democracy, because it doesn't favor them anymore. Their old voters die off and most of the young people don't fall for their bullshit.
Read about their 'Project 2025' and see what they are planning.
I'm sure that Nikki Haley would go along with that plan.
The difference is that she's smart, devious and effective.
Trump is a bumbling buffoon, who would just fuck up their plans.
So, I wouldn't be relieved if Nikki Haley somehow wins, if I were you.
Democrats machine
MR and Misses Bill Clinton
MR and MR Obama
And of course the Biden crime family
With Biden’s ratings in the crapper 🚽 they think it would be easier to pull off a win over Nicky
Democrats would be stupid to give Nikki any money.
If you cannot think outside your bubble, they can tell you nonsense.
It could even be possible. The fact that giving money to Nikki would be very stupid,
if they actually want to win, is no guarantee. There were Democrats who were stupid enough to help Trump win the primaries in 2015 and 2016, because they thought
he could never win the general. Some people never learn from their mistakes.
Obamas
The Clinton’s
And The Biden’s
So it might be true
However, Trump is certainly not getting 95% of the primary votes, like Biden.
So, many Republican voters do not think Trump can win.
Don't ask me why 95% of Democrats think Biden should be the one.
Maybe because it's too late now to get a better candidate.
Both sides are stuck with the weakest candidate.
No one wins here, not the people and not democracy.
The rest of the world only hopes you'll do better in 2028.
