[quote=nonniey;1314707]All good information (thanks). The point I was calling out was the claim the GOP attached an unrelated amendment when it certainly isn't unrelated as even your info shows (May be contradictory to what the GOP was pushing in removing domestic COVID policy but then removing the restriction would also fly in the face of what the Biden administration's position is on COVID).[/quote]

You were right, it was related. It was very related. I was wrong on that. Shot from the hip, then read up on it more.

I moved the goal posts a good bit in my reply.

I personally want what Title 42 does, but unless its attached to some emergency powers with a sunset, Im guessing it would require 60 votes in Senate to pass as legislation.

Critics Mock GOP's Hunter Biden Slams In Wake Of Jared Kushner's $2 Billion Saudi Payday

Jared Kushner

After relentless Republican complaints and about Hunter Biden’s international business work while his father was vice president, critics find it particularly rich that the Saudis invested a massive $2 billion in a Jared Kushner fund shortly after he left his senior adviser role in a Trump administration remarkably accommodating to the Saudis.

The money dwarfs any income Hunter Biden is known to have earned while on a Ukrainian energy company’s board while his father was Barack Obama’s vice president. And Hunter Biden couldn’t curry favor with any foreign entities with a powerful White House position like the one Kushner held, when Donald Trump’s son-in-law was supposed to be representing the American public and not his own interests.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
 

It could be either/or - if Hunter Biden is doing dirty shit lock him up. Just being a Dem is not a free pass to do unethical or illegal shit.

Now if only certain people here could think along the same lines about members of their own party... because we all agree the Saudis didn't give famed hedge fund manager Jared Kushner 2b because of his savvy business acumen right?

I think as we get into more progressive financial turmoil, climate change, water wars, infectious diseases etc, having a uniform regulating body is a good thing. That being said I think the Fed has done a shitty job regulating what it is supposed to.

The alternatives really don't appeal to me either. Having banks make their own rules sounds like the basis of a free market but we know it will lead to higher interest rate loans in poor communities and further consolidation of power into banking conglomerates and away from more local and regional institutions.

Going to a commodity standard like the gold standard doesn't make sense especially for the United States. Our entire economy is predicated on growth for the sake of growth. You can't have your dollar grow when it's worth is tied into a finite resource.

IM sure theyll say liberals have been calling republicans racist so its fair game. Probably is. Republicans clearly decided to campaign as "champion of parental rights" and have pushed this CRT and grooming thing hard.

Wish republicans worked as hard in helping the country vs false flag campaign strategies.

We were probably heading this way, but trump really accelerated the breakdown of our government.

Race to the bottom.

Im apathetic at this point, much like being a Skins fan. Ill vote, Ill watch on Sundays ... but i expect the experience to be a net negative in my life.

DENVER — A Republican state lawmaker running for Congress in El Paso County wants his name on the June 28 primary ballot to include "Let's Go Brandon."

State Rep. Dave Williams (R-Colorado Springs) qualified for the primary ballot at the Congressional District 5 (CD5) assembly in Colorado Springs, earning him the top name on the ballot for CD5.

Williams filed a lawsuit on Monday to force Democratic Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold to list his name on the ballot as "Dave 'Let's Go Brandon' Williams."

Don’t say gay bill…misinformation and propaganda. When people actually understand the principles in the bill, a majority of Americans poll agree with it.

Companies should be apolitical period.

Disney is a perfect example. Let’s follow the flow:
Florida passes a law >activists group target Disney > pressure campaign against Disney > Disney responds with some virtual signal bullshit after pressure > Conservatives takes notice, make statements > Democrats get mad and asks why are you paying attention

This all started from radical left campaign against Disney, don’t give me this unamerican bullshit.

But it is happening, and teachers go on social media celebrating they are doing it. Shouldn’t we just fire the teachers doing it? Well when school boards refuse, then legislators have to step in.

This is like when folks say CRT isn’t being taught or practice, then school in Atlanta are caught dividing up classrooms by race. Shouldn’t we be firing these folks?

I find it hard to believe that in Florida there is a curriculum where they teach gender to elementary age kids. Regardless I have always believed education standards should fit the needs of the community they serve instead of the entirety of a county or state. In terms of school boards not fulfilling their role. If this is against the law in Florida and teachers violate the law the school board should terminate their contract. In Florida school boards are elected by the district therefore they serve the needs of the community, if they don't the avenue should be they are voted out. To me going to the state level is an over reach. If it became a state wide issue I could see validity although the current wording of the law is unacceptable.

In terms of Atlanta I don't see how CRT is linked to division of students in the classroom. The students that were African American were in classes with white students but the number of white students in school would likely have lead to some classes being all white regardless. It definitely is sus limiting students of one race to only two classes, but don't think it is related to CRT.

Governments shouldnt be targeting and punishing companies for their political leanings.

There are 600 of these "self goverance" districts in florida for places like race tracks, entertainment.

Well first because Disney chose to take part in a disinformation campaign, like you did by referring to it as something it is not. I suggest anyone and Disney actually read the bill. Which again is supported by a majority.

See SS this is why I suggest companies stay apolitical, because once a company enters the political octagon then there can consequences. The first thing Ronnie D stated is “Disney is a guest”. Meaning he is prepared for them to go. So at anytime they leave

Again, progressives siding with multi National conglomerate for tax privileges is interesting.
