Nope, not even close. I'm used to running these businesses... I know what the ups and downs are and I've been doing it for 20 years. It took over a year of shortfalls to really start hitting me. I imagine others were hit harder and faster, but the ACA was definitely the trigger event. My IRL...
And sort of to add:
1) Guns
2) Abortion
3) Climate
4) LGBT
etc... None of these things matter to me if you can't keep yourself fed, homed, and comfy and warm. I had to chose between keeping my house and staying warm. I literally had to pay a mortgage bill over paying my electricity in an...
It's hard to quantify it directly, but I know this... We're no longer struggling. Both me and the wife work in service industries that are basically optional businesses. That's to say our profits are basically tied to sentiment. We're making a lot when people are doing well, and having heart...
ACA went in, insurance doubled in price, and then people had to get let go. That's how it happened. Simultaneously our state was also raising our income taxes and the withholdings employers were supposed to make. It was just the perfect storm, really.
I wouldn't vote for Biden regardless of the party he was in, so there is that. He has ran two times before this and got laughed off the trail for all the lies he's spewed.
I don't like Trump personally, but I certainly like what he's done for my wallet. Because of Obama and his changes...
Biden has lost races in the past for lying and plagiarism, he literally was laughed off the trail two times already. Nothing with him has changed, and it literally doesn't matter what words come out of his mouth -- they're probably not what he believes, or completely untrue. I don't even know...
No, but tweeting and posting in your facebook all day about things probably do. I realize it might be hard for you to understand, but read the article or something. Please.
Re: Families my understanding was the separation policy was put in effect to determine that the kids were actually traveling with relatives. There have been tons of instances of human trafficking at the border. I rather have them apart and figuring out that information than being forced to shack...
This is exactly my take as well. I have no use for either side's lunatic fringe.
People also need to dial the importance of their political beliefs down from like an always 11 to like a 3-5. The world doesn't reflect this dichotomy at all, and most people are far more easy going that this. I...
I concur with most of what you say here... A really radical leftist can echo BLM sentiments and at the same go full militia mode, but the elephant in the room to me is when will the left admit it has these radicals. =D I guess to me that's the only dishonesty in the silly reporting going on...
That doesn't address the point, and no claim was made... People were just collating data from someone's twitter feeds and so on and posting it on a conservative site. Someone then wrote an article and presented the information they found. That's not an opinion piece... That's reporting. It...
Well, obviously for any government that's honest anyone that's not a citizen of their country is a secondary concern. Sucks, but anyone telling you something different is lying. And, it would be that way if Dems sat in the White House as well, really you're in the sticks here and I don't get it...
No, people were looking into these guys on social media and the indies picked it up and did research and just shared the findings. It didn't support the MSM narrative, so they buried the update to the story. It's just a political hit job... For the other three, their political affiliations are...
This is a really extreme take and it seems like a lot of projection to me. Anyway, the evidence just doesn't bear the analysis... If he was a fascist he'd have already had the lockdown Governors in shackles in some way. That didn't happen, he just stated his interests and let them do their...
This is paywalled? My apologies. I didn't know. All I see is a box you can click away.
P.S. PJMedia is basically the parent of Townhall, Redstate, Twitchy, and so on. Yes, it is conservative, but I've never known them to lie. They're the conservative indie media... lol.
Other link... Same...
To me, this is pretty crazy stuff... Mind you, I am fully aware there is a difference between BLM as in the idea, and some of the manifestations. Anyway, I just posted to share it.
"If you’re keeping book, that now means at least three of the six men indicted by the federal government for the...
China endorses Biden too through it's propaganda outlets, lol.
I mean, to me it means nothing... Terrorists want us out of their countries because they think it makes thing easier for them, except that no one is leaving until they've left a suitable standing army of native police and military...
But, it remains fundamentally the reason people vote. They vote for what they want. =D
Beyond that, it's really tough to make a coherent argument against quality of life improvements. I mean how do convince someone that is better off to risk that? It's just not going to happen -- it's too much...
Nearly 100% of the time the polls don't matter... What does matter:
Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago? If the answer is yes, then the incumbent wins. Trump is polling at like 60% for that, so yeah... Ignore all the rest of them, IMHO. It's not going to even be close, Trump will...
