How do you decide if media is or isn't "MAGA"
Does the source of an idea matter? Haven't good ideas came from many different sources?

Jus sayin......lol
Who needs a citation? It is interesting that companies like Pfizer and Moderna have total immunity if something unintentionally goes wrong with the vaccine. His source does not matter.

He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing

It is comical you think this is so important.
This is the crap political people do. It is stupid and done often.

Kyle Rittenhouse should be a very rich person after he sues everyone in the media who defamed him.

How does Toobin still work for CNN?
Masturbating on camera during a work ZOOM call? 
The prosecution has critics that can be taken more seriously.

Do a lot of Dems really believe spending trillions will, "Whip Inflation Now" or is this more likely what the big shots in the party are pushing?

Does everybody remember the, "Whip Inflation Now" president?

A relevant case in FL a while back where a man shot and killed another man over a handicap accessible parking spot dispute comes to mind. The shooter had this well-known reputation in the area for confronting people over parking in a handicapped spot. One day he encountered a lady parked illegally with her son in the car and started scolding her. Her boyfriend came out of the store, saw what was happening, and shoved him to the ground. He pulled out his gun and shot the man in the chest, killing him.  The shooter got 20 years even though he claimed to stand his ground.
The man shot was defending a pregnant woman and their three children and had stepped back and turned his body. Yes, he was retreating when shot and this was caught on security video. The shooter showed no remorse during proceedings and refused an opportunity to speak. Attorney for Jacobs, Benjamin Crump, said it shows equal justice is possible in America when a white shoots and kills an unarmed black and claims protection under the racist stand your ground.

Gas Prices Relief On The Way

This is not difficult. One of Biden's first moves should not have been stopping Keystone. The futures market watches his moves and he discouraged investment in fossil fuels. The progressives were happy so fossil fuels were not.

Keep voting for politicians that want the support of progressives. You can be sure your fuel costs will be lower! Progressives love fossil fuels!

China and progressives will help my fuel costs?
Like Bill Maher just said, the Dems are the party of no common sense.

I want Biden to tough it out. I have less faith in the VP.
