WTF are you talking about? Nancy Pelosi admitted that she blocked passing a smaller relief bill, but now that Biden won, she'll vote for it. She admitted that.

WHat is your evidence that democrats care more "people" than Republicans? Because the data shows clearly that conservatives are actually more likely to give money and time to charity, than liberals, and if you consider the role that religion plays on both sides, that is to be expected.

Also waiting for you to support your absurd claim that Republicans blame Biden for the recent covid spike.

Gov Cuomo killed thousands by forcing nursing homes to admit covid-positive patients, this was long after we all knew it was going to target the elderly. But you have nothing to say about that. None of you do.

republican=bad, democrat=good. We get it.

How about you think for yourself, for two consecutive seconds, and see how it feels? Just two consecutive seconds.

God you're a simpleton.

Because your description isn’t really true.

Is this Cuomo's fault, or are you claiming that because some other countries failed, that the USA being one of the worst in it's class despite being historically the most prepared and proactive is acceptable to you?

Just to show how much of an outlier the US is from better performing rich, developed countries, here are covid deaths per million people (adjusted for population) since the pandemic began:

Japan: 21
Australia: 35
South Korea: 12
Norway: 74
New Zealand: 5
Taiwan: 0.3

US: 948

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

trump cut my taxes. he increased funding at black colleges. so i laugh at your idea that republicans in general, don’t care about regular people. it’s liberals who throw regular people under the bus again and again.

and you know you’re
lying when you say i always defend him. you’re the one who does the same thing every time, you criticize him. you’re incapable of dojng anything else.

i can be fair, criticize him when he deserves it, praise him when he deserves it.

you also need to understand that there’s a lot more to “republicans” than trump. he’s not the party. our ideas are the party, and our ideas, for the most part, are vastly superior to liberal ideas. more common sense, more mathematical realism, more compassion. not even close.

i live in CT, where liberals have ruled for 50 years. liberalism is brutal on the “regular guys.”. CT is turning into a place that has two
kinds of people, the wealthy, and those who clean their pools. i see no concern for regular guys among the liberal agenda.

he’s responsible for his disgusting personal antics, for not improving health insurance, for not getting mexico to pay for the wall, and for nit sending in troops to put down the violent lefty protests this summer. can you comprehend, that this is me holding him accountable? or did that go over your head?

now, we’re all waiting for you and all the liberals here, to admit the benefits of his policies - tax cuts, job growth, low unemployment, lowest black unemployment ever, increasing funding for black colleges, criminal justice reform, progress towards peace in the middle east, not getting us involved in questionable wars, crushing ISIS, creation of economic opportunity zones, etc.

you act as if i’m the blind partisan. obviously it’s you. You’re the one, not me, who ignores reality and makes a partisan argument every single time. every. single. time.

In 2016, Dems accepted the loss. Their protest was against Trump’s policies. The transfer of power & continuation of our republic were not in question. Trump won’t accept the loss & puts the future at risk, as do his enablers if they won’t condemn dangerous nonsense.

The felon Flynn has the president's ear on post-election strategy. So it matters when Flynn goes on TV, describes possible federal seizure of voting machines, sending military into swing states to 're-run' election, and defends martial law.

Your 9 ahead of me

Trump has single handily turned the Republican Party into a joke , they had a choice and they like you chose to support Him and his politics.. you don’t get to run away now ....

Ps from day 1my issue has always been with Trump never with the party as a whole. Until the nonsense since nov 3rd they lost all credibility and they have run out of excuses, you haven’t I doubt you ever will..

Love your disappointment
and for nit sending in troops to put down the violent lefty protests

Doesn’t get more anti American then wishing to send in the Troops

Let me guess you’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t declare martial law and have the military re do the vote in states he lost .. because you think what’s the military for if you can’t use them against Liberals

I am no partisan. this is so much bigger than that

but keep falling back on the great things you think hes done and keep ignoring was he has failed to do
"Trumps not a republican"

Yet you constantly hold all Republicans accountable for everything bad he does (while not giving them credit, of course, for the good things he does).
"
"where has Trump been on covid ?"

Where would you like him to be?

Here's what Govs Cuomo and Newsom had to say.

Cuomo, in April, called Trumps response a "phenomenal accomplishment".

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bronso...hment-n2567194

And Newsom..."every single direct request Trump was capable of meeting, he has met".

https://www.poordonkey.com/californi...irus-response/

"I am no partisan. "

You are the textbook definition of a rabid, blind, thoughtless zombie partisan. You are exactly, precisely what you claim (incorrectly) that I am. Again, you ignored every single positive thing I listed., Because your mind isn't capable of processing that he could do anything productive.

When you can't say that he helped the economy, you're a lunatic.

Do you have brain damage? Or are you a pathological liar? I don't see a third option. I just don't know what other choice there is.

I posted this: he’s responsible for his disgusting personal antics, for not improving health insurance, for not getting mexico to pay for the wall, and for nit sending in troops to put down the violent lefty protests this summer.

You respond with this??: keep ignoring was he has failed to do

I can't talk to you. It's just not possible.

He's also responsible for adding to the debt.
