i won’t gripe one tenth as much as you did. i know what’s coming, and i am prepared to benefit from it. oil prices are going to increase, the dollar is going to weaken, green energy will be treated favorably, chinas ascent will accelerate. you can’t lose, betting on those things.

spence, same question, without any insults...did biden explicitly promise to cure cancer, or am i lying?

someone here, someone very outspoken, disappeared for weeks after the 2016 election, someone in your camp.

Paul, you don’t get it. i’m rooting for full blown liberalism now. Bernie Sanders, a socialist, is the chairman of the senate budget committee, and soon there will be no fillibuster. That script writes itself, and there’s only one ending.

If the dollar weakens, and green
energy grows, and oil prices rise, and China ascends, i’ll be able to retire at 60, living off just the interest of my nest egg, my boys can have the principal. They’ll need it.

I think I know what it was by reading between the lines. You even responded to Bryan yet here you are again mentioning it (w/o mentioning his name).

That script writes itself. If Bernie was the Pres, you would be right. Biden has shown himself not to be a socialist and and Bernie and AOC aren't going to be happy.

Paul, i get to draw my own conclusions. boy a minute ago, you didn’t seem to know what i was referring to. your recollection came back quick, i wish i had your recall.

Biden has already announced an explicit pathway to citizenship for illegals. he couldn’t have been more clear. so i’m not sure what you’re referring to.

we all saw the way he dodged in the question of packing SCOTUS.

I wanted to make sure we were talking about the same person. If you have been repeatedly asked not to bring up what is probably a painful time for someone, why do it? Especially after you said you wouldn't?

I wouldn't blame him for expanding it (but he won't). It has been done bf and given the McConnell refused to do what was required, I don't think expanding the court should be taken off the table -

So when he insults me for griping when I ask about the validity of an actual campaign promise, I should just take it. because you never respond when people insult you.

Biden has literally, already submitted a bill to congress, providing a path to citizenship for illegals. Only Joe Manchin can stop it. If it passes, that's literally the end of the game. TX and FL are blue, and there's nothing close to an electoral path for a republican.

Biden has literally already submitted this to Congress today, his first day. Are you denying this?

Wasn't any coherent speech from Trump read from a prompter? You could tell when he wasn't or when he was was but threw in some off the cuffs comments.

I know when Obama read from a prompter the Repubs. used to be up in arms over it.

OK, to clarify, I expect Biden will just be a mouthpiece, reading words that he doesn't necessarily believe. I see him as a puppet. I could be wrong, maybe he's actually a strong and assertive leader.
