The other part was expanding “absentee” ballots due to “covid”

All that in totality allowed them to narrowly squeak in a win.

(Never mind that beast spent years claiming she actually won, when she clearly lost)

That is one pile of gibberish there. I do not speak trailer trash so will do my best to decipher what you posted. The first thing I will say is that you and the rest of the trumpanzee lemmings have got new talking points. Since Moscow Mitch rightfully spoke up about your orange gods act of stoking an insurrection you are all up in arms and Mitch is the new trumpanzee target. Pretty clear that you are lockstep brainwashed into fox/newsmax cult of alternate reality.

My state has had "absentee" ballots only since 2011 with basically "zero" fraud and "covid" had nothing to do with that. That said it is left to the individual states to run their own elections. So any fuck up there is on your boy Kemp.

She seems to clearly trigger you and your racist underside, but I hate to break it to you that Governor Kemp has been doing everything he could to suppress the minority vote for "years". Case in point...

After more than 668,000 voter registrations were canceled in Georgia in 2017, election officials are removing far fewer people from voting rolls this election year.


Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who oversees elections, is no longer purging names from the state's list of 6.8 million eligible voters as he runs for governor against Democrat Stacey Abrams.
But Kemp's record of trimming inactive registered voters — more than 1.4 million since he took office in 2010 — is drawing criticism from his opponents who say he's limiting opportunities to vote, especially among low-income and minority Georgians who are more likely to have their registrations canceled.

Georgia Election 2018: Voter registration purges soared then fell

I am sure you will come up with some bullshit excuse as to why something like this is ok, but I am going to tell you right now that it will not be good enough. This fuck your boy Kemp had a fucking plan to trim the voter roles full stop knowing that he was going to run for governor. So the shitbird stacked the deck. Voter suppression is what you clowns do because you know you can not win a free and fair open election.

Have a gander at this thread...

Lets face it, most Americans will pump that $1400 right back into the economy. where given the multiplier affect will keep it bouncing around for a while.

Not being familiar with the current living cost in USA, however, wondering how much will be left over from the $1,400 for pumping "back into economy"? After they pay their debts, mortgage, tax, school fee, and and?

That's some 40,000 Baht, ask your friends in cheap Thailand how much of it will be pumped into economy within 1 - 2 months?

^ ^ Fucking hell, you're boring.

Actually "that useless beast" was credited with creating an unprecedented turnout among African American voters despite the GOP's best efforts to try and stop them voting.

Not only did she play a large part in winning the state for Biden, but she played an even more important role in winning the Senate for the Dems.

That must really piss you off.

^
or in other words, what Harry said.

When these trumpanzees get out of their bubbles they get a good beat down with reality.

“It is now time to open Texas, 100%,” a maskless Gov. Greg Abbott announced at a Mexican restaurant in Lubbock, where the only person wearing a mask seemed to be the news photographer who was shooting the event. “COVID still exists, but it is clear … that state mandates are no longer needed.”

There were so many ways that President Biden could have criticized Abbott — along with Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, who also lifted all COVID-19 restrictions in his state.

Biden, who had met with Abbott in Houston several days earlier to discuss federal assistance after the deadly winter storms that crippled Texas (and also to visit a mass vaccination site), could have said that Abbott and Reeves were anti-scientific, or politically opportunistic, or just plain dumb for ignoring the advice of public health officials.

Instead, Biden chose a more colorful description: “The last thing — the last thing — we need is the Neanderthal thinking that in the meantime, 'everything is fine, take off your mask, forget it,'” said the president.

The remark drew instant fire from the two governors as well as from conservative politicians, pundits and media.

“No insults from the President will stop us from leaning towards freedom,” Reeves tweeted. Later, at a news conference, he added, “I would just say given how long ago President Biden was elected to Congress, he certainly should know how Neanderthals think.”

Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte, who once pleaded guilty to assaulting a reporter, accused Biden of degrading himself by "name calling."

Oh, come now. It’s not as if Biden (unlike his predecessor) used a racial slur like “Pocahontas.” Or called anyone “Horseface.” Or “Slimeball.” Or “total loser.”

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) attempted a feeble joke: “President Biden’s use of an old stereotype is hurtful to modern Europeans, Asians & Americans who inherit about 2% of their genes from Neanderthal ancestors,” tweeted the 2024 presidential hopeful. “He should apologize for his insensitive comments and seek training on unconscious bias.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) tried in vain to turn the insult into a compliment. Thursday, on Fox Business, she defended our anthropological forebears: “Neanderthals are hunter-gatherers, they’re protectors of their family, they’re resilient, they’re resourceful, they tend to their own.”

Well, they were, Sen. Blackburn.

Until they went extinct some 40,000 years ago.

And why did Neanderthals die out? No one knows for sure. Scientists have a few theories, including that they were not able to adapt to climate change. Remind you of any Republicans you know?

But I digress.

You have to feel sorry for the conservative noise machine these days.

Biden is riding high. His approval rating is 60% (a figure Trump never came close to), and an even higher percentage of Americans approve of his handling of the pandemic.

Republicans are twisting themselves into pretzels as they try to position themselves as the party of the working class while rejecting Biden’s $1.9-trillion COVID-19 relief package (which passed the House on Feb. 27 and the Senate on Saturday with not a single Republican vote), and refusing to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour while demanding that Biden preserve “good paying jobs” in the moribund fossil fuel industry.

Add to that the congressional investigation into the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection, which increasingly looks like a coordinated effort among white supremacist groups and other Trump allies. On Thursday, the FBI announced it had arrested Federico Klein, an alleged Capitol attacker who at the time worked in the Trump State Department and had a top-secret security clearance.

This stunning news should shake all peace-loving Americans to the core.

But what gets the right all chuffed instead? “Cancel culture,” of course, a contrivance they use to describe progressive cultural advances — like, say, the decision by Dr. Seuss Enterprises, which oversees the commerce of all things Seuss, to pull half a dozen of the beloved author’s kids’ books because they contain offensive, racist caricatures. Or the decision by toy company Hasbro to make its Potato Head brand more inclusive by allowing kids to make up any kind of Potato Head family they want. Oh, the horror.

Now that a rational and measured president sits in the Oval Office — and none of the catastrophes Republicans warned of during the campaign have come to pass — Biden's political opponents are straining for material with which to trash him.

And so, Biden’s invocation of an extinct hominid had to do.

Even the Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann, Germany, weighed in to support Biden.

“Dear @JoeBiden,” the museum tweeted Thursday. “We approve of your criticism concerning the decision to end state-wide mask mandates. Still, we strongly recommend you visit our museum once it is possible. #neanderthals were smarter than you think!”

Like so many Republicans, Neanderthals might have been smart, but they weren't smart enough to avoid catastrophe.

I disagree - there are many politicians who are doing the right thing, unfortunately the biggest arseholes/clowns reflect the population that elects them.

Dividing the cost by every in America is $6,051.74

The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,400 to each adult under a certain income.

An increased Federal user fee on all oil products (and oil based products) would be nice. Pay for infrastructure and maintenance, R&D and help some who are not as fortunate (discounted rates on some oil related items. Examples would be heating oil/public transportation).

That user fee might be easier for most to swallow. If you don’t want to pay the fee,……don’t use it.

Biden Endorses Female Generals Whose Promotions Were Delayed Over Fears of Trump’s Reaction

President Joe Biden has nominated two female generals to elite, four-star commands, the Defense Department announced, months after their Pentagon bosses had agreed on their promotions but held them back out of fears that Trump would reject the officers because they were women.
