Biden turned his attention to Republican lawmakers who received loans under the federal Paycheck Protection Program during the pandemic, and then subsequently had those loans forgiven.
“I don’t want to hear it from MAGA Republicans, officials who had hundreds of thousands of dollars of debts, even millions of dollars in pandemic relief loans forgiven, who now are attacking me for helping working class and middle class Americans,” the president continued. “My team at the White House posted a video of this, folks, online.”
Biden proceeded to ding Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Vern Buchanan (R-FL) over their forgiven PPP loans.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene, she and her husband got $180,000 in business loans forgiven from the PPP program,” Biden said. “She said it’s completely unfair for us to forgive student loans for working and middle class Americans. Representative Buchanan of Florida said our plan was reckless. Guess how much he got in that program forgiven? Two million, three hundred thousand dollars.”
Biden also went after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who cast student borrowers as “slacker” baristas who “wasted seven years in college.”
“Ted Cruz, the great senator from Texas,” Biden said. “He said it’s for slackers, quote, ‘slackers’ who don’t deserve relief. Who in the hell do they think they are?”
I am in UK. When I have a look at who has visited my profile, I find there is a very high proportion of males from USA. Is this to do with the comparable number of members?
There's the number difference in nationalities, the number difference in gender, and the number difference in sexual preference. From what I've seen, the the most common nationality is American (USA). In the gender groups, males outnumber females by huge amounts. And in the sexual preference, gay or bisexual members outnumber straight members.
MARCO RUBIO, ANOTHER FLORIDA REPUCKER THAT MAKES ME PUKE.
What does Rubio do to help Cuban-Americans, and Floridians? He opposes increasing the federal minimum wage. He supported repealing the Affordable Care Act, which would have resulted in millions of Floridians losing health insurance. He obstructs immigration reform and pathways to citizenship for Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status recipients, denying refuge to those fleeing the same dictatorships he hypocritically pontificates about.
I just posted it on purpose to see if your recovery white ultra nationalist religious despicable friend would react. I was kinda thinking that he'd condemn hate. But he didn't! That's true devotion to nazi principles. I'm amazed.
Now do you see?
A precedent has been set and now ever freeloader in the country is going to sue people over words.

Reactionary is a term that sits you well.
Actually, I've no idea what you're saying

how can this be a good thing in the long term?
This is a direct violation of the constitution.
Freedom of speech.
this sets a precedent for the future that everyone that says anything offensive to a person or small group can be sued.
That is essentially erasing freedom of speech.
Does this mean I agree with Jones, No. he is a jurk.

Jerry Nadler said the violence in portland was a MYTH>
people have died in portland to.
So should the lawyers sue Nadler now?
OH, he is a democrat, so he has freedom of speech.
The alex jones thing, although he is a jurk, is the simple fact he is linked to the conservative cause therefore a enemy of the democrat.
Freedom of speech applies to speech that doesn't cause harm or mayhem. It's ok to speak, write, or communicate in some form, your views or opinions. What you can't do is bring harm or pain to other people when you do. These people endured over 10 yrs of pain and violent threats because of this jerk. The "judgement" was handed down to him by a jury of his peers. Twelve people true. Your last sentence, "the simple fact he is linked to the conservative cause therefore a enemy of the democrat" is pure horse shit. Weather he's an enemy of the Democrats has nothing to do with the hurt he put these people through. Let me give you an example, and right at front, I'm saying it's just made up, and also something you won't like. Suppose I say that I don't believe your Mom was pure. Suppose I say she was a slut and died sucking her neighbor's cock, and I broadcasted that daily on the radio, would you, knowing the truth, want to shut me up? I bet you would............and I'm sorry, it was just an example. --------------------------------------- added after 3 minutes
I don't know about Jerry Nadler. This country is very litigious. If someone thinks he should be sued, that's for the courts to accept the suit or not
I would want you to shut up but I would probably do something besides sue.
10 years of threats and "pain".
I can't deny there was mourning and a feeling of great loss and a desire for justice.BUT the 1 they should have sought justice for was the shooter.
This money will not bring back the kids,it will not stop Alex from speaking.
IF the people suing were really seeking justice,and not just riding on the money train, that money would be donated to charity or something.But no,the people will live high on the hog, acting like it is free money,when in reality,they LOST A HUMAN LIFE to get it.
And I would also like to know what section of the constitution sets the guidelines you speak of as to freedom of speech.
The money was the punishment. The shooter will get his due. The Constitution states we have freedom of speech. The guidelines were set through many years of common and codified laws. Like many of the laws we live by, the Constitution states the obvious but, the nuances are here by use
It has been shown that nancy pelosi,filmed by HER OWN DAUGHTER ,said she wanted to punch Donald Trump and nothing is being done.
She clearly stated she wanted to do physical harm to a SITTING PRESIDENT of the USA.
Where is the outrage? Why can she get away with that? She should have to eat Bryers icecream and her husband drink CHEAP liquor on a street corner while Donald enjoys her assets.
What Nancy did was wrong and she should pay.I mean,unless we are going to apply that ol democrat double standards thing again.hee?
Phart, nothing will happen, she along with all the Trump haters will get away with anything & everything as long as it's against Trump. Hatred is found among people who think alike.
CAT,I'm not a Republican or Democrat, (was Democrat long ago for years). I voted for Trump both times and will again. I suspect anyone can be a hate filled person including Republicans.
No. We are decent law abiding law enforcement supporting truthful good people. Everything you claim we are, you are and worse. I'm not wasting my time energy or my Saturday going back & forth with you answering your questions. It's futile. I would rather we both send each other shit piles.
I would like to add to her response and say that i am a registered independent or non affiliated ,which ever you choose to call it.
I have voted for a few democrats in lower level offices that were older men that were the "old" democrats that still had a little common sense.
Phart, what exactly do you want to happen? You think if she is charged with this threat and goes to court then Trump would have to attend the proceedings and every bit of his dirty laundry would come out? Wouldn't that be great? The Speaker would gladly go for that. That treasonable son of a bitch should not have been president and you f..ING Repuckers should have convicted him on both impeachments. 👿
I would like to see her go thru a impeachment trial or whatever is similar that has the power to remove her ass for unethical behavior. Like Sherry ann said, nothing will become of it and frankly, if this, jan 6,the russia hoax, hillarys emails and the whole fucking kicknkabootal was dropped and that energy and money used to FIX AMERICA,I would be fine with it.
Trump and all his administration were using private email servers too.
They won't punish him for that either. He has done much worse.
And Hillary cooperated with the investigation, Trump didn't.
She was saying that, because the president send an angry mob to hang her
and Mike Pence and ra.pe AOC and stop the democratic process.
I agree it was wrong, but Trump said much worse about her.
Wow, you are being so predictable. Didn't I say that you defend right-wingers who violate the limits on free speech?
The limits on free speech are incitement, defamation, fraud, obscenity, child pornography, fighting words, and threats. That was what Alex Jones was doing. He was demonizing survivors and parents as paid crisis actors and then right-wing idiots made the life of parents who lost children and children who saw their schoolmates being murdered even worse than the hell it already was. Alex Jones was personally hurting them. He had no evidence for that. He only did it to sell more ape-scrotum-powder and other bullshit snake-oil, that he claims has all sorts of health benefits and the FDA should sue him over.
How is that the same as discrediting the claims of right-wingers that Antifa was involved with the violence in Portland. What is the evidence for that? Is Jerry Nadler causing threats the families in Portland? How is he doing incitement, defamation, fraud, obscenity, child pornography, fighting words, or threat?
If he is, yes, lawyers of affected families OF HIS SPEECH should sue Nadler.
I will add to that,that fucking dr fauchi should pay 100 billion or more. sumbitch lied about mask for 2 months and caused people to die.
A direct link to peoples death.Not just words or a theory,but he had the respect of millions and let them down.
If you can prove that Fauci knew masks did prevent Covid infection and he lied about that, that's a good reason to sue him over. It depends if he can argue that the science was not clear yet at that time or that he lied to protect hospital personnel during a shortage of masks, weather it sticks to him. Still, I would support the attempt, because my country was affected by the same lies. It is never OK to lie to the public, for whatever reason, because it harms trust.
Speaking about trust during a pandemic; Trump was commander-in-chief and lied
much worse about much more. And how about Tucker Carlson? Why not sue them
for all their lying, which surely caused more deaths?
However, Fauci did not do it for his own benefit, but he was a spokesman for the government organization trying to contain a deadly pandemic. Alex Jones was peddling lies only to enrich himself and punish political enemies.
fauci had a financial stake in the lab that the virus came from, perhaps not his money directly being used, but he benefited. we learned in school that virus's travel by air.that is not even debatable.
He convinced the American people that mask were not needed.BUT the medical staff had to wear them for some odd reason?
that gave the virus 2 months or more to spread like wildfire.
Trump at first had no reason not to trust fauchi,and fauchi knew that.So he took advantage of it to eventually make Trump look bad,which left wingers got ahold of and ran with .
And how does he benefit personally from that lab during Covid then?
It seems like that lab doesn't have much of a future now.
If he had any personal investments in it, he surely lost his money.
Not all viruses travel by air; e.g. chicken-pox, HIV, monkeypox and 'kissing disease'.
There were no masks available and right-wingers wouldn't wear them anyway,
so your accusation doesn't fly. He should have been honest, but that might have
created bigger risks, if selfish people started hoarding masks. People could stay at home, medical staff could not.
Trump made himself look bad. He said Covid was a hoax publicly, while acknowledging it was very dangerous privately. He peddled stupid shit like injecting bleach, a bright light in the lungs, Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. That was all misinformation.
fauci had a financial stake in the lab that the virus came from, That is a lie. Maybe you forget that The Clown closed down the department that handles pandemics and stripped the government warehouses of decease fighting equipment and supplies, including respirators and MASKS.
If viruses travel only by air, why did we use so much hand and surface desinfectants? The Clown never needed any help to look bad. His ignorance of facts ant ten yrs old knows is well documented. And if you don't believe that, look how he's behaving now.
It's not a big defence for supporting insurrection of his own country, but it's a small slap nevertheless. Him and other fascists around him should be removed from the country.
Let's not mix crimes. Not answering a suppena from Congress is not in the same league as insurrection. Now, if someone is indicated for insurrection, the least they should do is revoke his citizenship and allow him/her to emigrate.
MEET THE SCARIEST REPUCKER CANDIDATES OF THE 2022 COMING ELECTION
only registered users can see external links
The next wave of Republican freshmen could be the worst yet – and could pose a legitimate threat to democracy 👺
Kari Lake forArizona governor
After failing to convince outgoing Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to help him overturn his election loss, Trump is backing a largely unknown conspiracy theorist, who vowed she would not have certified Biden's win, to replace Ducey. Lake, a longtime Arizona news anchor with no political experience, has even demanded that election officials "decertify" the election results, which is not legally possible. Lake, who is also backed by election conspiracists Mike Lindell and Michael Flynn and Capitol riot-linked Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., has called for Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (who is also a gubernatorial candidate this year), to be imprisoned for unspecified election crimes.
Eric Greitens for Missouri governor
Greitens, once a rising star and considered a potential presidential contender, resigned as Missouri governor in 2018 after a woman with whom he had an extramarital affair accused him of sexual assault and revenge porn. A St. Louis grand jury indicted him that year on felony invasion of privacy charges, and although prosecutors dropped the charges, a special committee in the Republican-led state legislature released a report in April 2018 deeming the woman's allegations "credible." The legislature moved to start impeachment proceedings against Greitens in May 2018, leading him to resign in exchange for prosecutors dropping an unrelated felony charge for using a veterans' charity email list for his campaign.
Joe Kent for Washington, 3rd congressional district
Kent is running to unseat Rep. Jamie Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., who voted to impeach Trump after the Capitol riot, and is the most prominent candidate backed by the "Insurrection Caucus," meaning Trump allies like Greene, Boebert, Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina and Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida. The Washington Post reported last week that the group has little appetite for direct battle with Democrats and instead aims to push House Republicans even further right.
Kent told the Post he wants to force the party to vote on articles of impeachment against Biden and a full congressional investigation into the 2020 election, which he has claimed (without evidence, of course) was stolen. "A lot of it will be shaming Republicans," he told the Post. "It's put up or shut up," he said.
Mark Finchem for Arizona secretary of state
While most eyes will be on prominent gubernatorial and congressional races, the 2022 slate of secretary of state races may be the most consequential. Secretaries of state, who oversee elections, certified the election results in all the states Trump sought to contest, regardless of party affiliation. Next time may be different.
Finchem, a state lawmaker who attended the "Stop the Steal" rally ahead of the Capitol riot and spoke at a similar protest the previous day, has earned Trump's endorsement — and has also espoused QAnon-linked conspiracy theories and been linked to extremist groups.

These are just a sample. There are more in the article. Repuckers, if we let them, they'll wreck our whole system of governance. Our democratic way of life will be destroyed. Wake up, people, it's not too late. VOTE DEMOCRAT. 👍😈
This guy, Berlusconi, will be back in Italian government, via his party, along with the fascist party of Meloni.
Decades after WW2, prior to which Italians invented fascism, Italy voted for fascists again.
They're buddies with the ruthless beast, Putin, too:
Berlusconi said he received vodka from Putin for birthday, reports say.
La Presse agency publishes audio suggesting 20 bottles arrived for 86th birthday after pair ‘re-establish’ ties
Let me ask a simple question.
IF you were a elected official ,would you rather have russia as a enemy, or a acquaintance who you can keep a closer eye on?
putin could push a button and make Italy disappear like a moth in a flame. Do you really want someone with that ability to hate you?
There's no chance in a trillion that I'd be an elected official because all elected officials are assholes, without exception. Only the degree varies. We don't need officials at all.
That is a round about way of saying you don't want to have any responsibility.
I would cheerfully run for a paid public office position if I had not experienced a brain injury that could affect my work in some way. I do not want my health issues to have a negative effect on others.
Not all elected officials are assholes going in. They may change before leaving. And I can see at least 3 reasons for that.
1 ,money under the table got to them.
2, they see just how crooked and fucked up the system is and can't do anything about it alone.
3,can't get anything done positive for the people because of a few underminers always trying to maintain status Quo.
"...all elected officials are assholes, without exception. Only the degree varies."
Not in my country. There are many very nice people elected to office here.
Especially in local offices. At a small local event, I've met two of the local party that I'm a member of and seen them interact with people for hours. They were friendly, relaxed, open people who respected different opinions.
This is not a simple question. Putin is a despot and a war criminal. There are different levels of animosity. You can denounce a "Putin" without going to extremes, but, I would never be remotely chummy with a killer like Putin. Perhaps you are too young to remember the cold war of the fifties and sixties. During that time we relied on the idea that if someone pushed that nuclear button, he would be vaporized too. This, even today, is still a deterrent. Italy or any other country will not disappear.
“I don’t want to hear it from MAGA Republicans, officials who had hundreds of thousands of dollars of debts, even millions of dollars in pandemic relief loans forgiven, who now are attacking me for helping working class and middle class Americans,” the president continued. “My team at the White House posted a video of this, folks, online.”
Biden proceeded to ding Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Vern Buchanan (R-FL) over their forgiven PPP loans.
