Why did Biden push the bill with the $600 IRS provision?

Posted By Mel Maki

Some on the right think Biden was selected so the progressives could have their way. They could insert things like the $600 IRS and the up to $450,000 immigrant pay and it would take some time for him to realize it.

Happy Election Day

Yes, this is more support for voter ID. Easier to verify age, also.

"So much for voter ID..."

He claimed one of his friends was able to vote? That is enough proof for Dems that all IDs are a fail! How much more proof do Reps need?

Begging For Fuel

Posted By Mel Maki

To cut through some of the BS here, why don't we produce our own energy?
Why do Dems think it is a better idea to beg countries that we are not even on great terms with?
Plus, we can do it cleaner.  That is not important?

That was me at Panera. Haven't shaved or been to a barber shop since I saw the letters COVID.
You know, you could have got me a bowl of soup.

But they have no problem buying the more expensive gas and it quiets the more "woke" in the party. Our energy sec just giggled when asked about it today. She has to be aware of the decades of natural gas below us.

Showing up and pretending you know what you are doing goes a long ways. And it is better than the giggle routine.

I really thought Cheney's record was safe.
But remember how often somebody got the better of him in a back and forth? I can't.

What a scope. I had a fantasy of using an 8" f/24 for a moment.  It was great                                                                         fun just following your build.
