Biden got two infrastructure bills passed, Trump...0.

Let’s discuss Biden’s trillions spent on the Green New “Deal”. How many of the millions of electric car charging stations were built? Where is all this Green infrastructure? that the 4 trillion went to?

Also the high costs everyone now but complains about was from Biden irresponsible spending. His own staff told him it was going to cause harmful inflation. Remember “Transitory Inflation” from Janet Yellen ?

The dirty little known secret is that even when high inflation rates come down. That many or most prices of goods do not. The lunatics demanded $15-$20 an hour to work at a fast food joint.

Those pay scales moved up the ladder to every employee. And unless employers find a way to lower every employees pay in the country. Prices are never coming down.
Thank Joe Biden for his reckless “Green New Scam/ slush fund.

But I repeat. Shutting down one or two Learing Centers and a fake Hospice or two in LA will pay for the entire Iran war. Which just saved the world from another North Korea nuke situation. A bully with nuke missiles is doomsday.

That never used to be a left or right discussion. There was a time not too long ago. When every prominent politician said Iran would never be allowed to have a nuke. By any means necessary.

The military would rather you just say thank you. and sleep soundly in bed at night for what they just did.

Perhaps the best planned. Best executed war in history. With better than expected outcome.

This war has been planned and revised since 1980 by the military while Democrats and Republicans held office.

Despite what CNN says Hegseth didn’t plan it on a napkin.

And you may want to look into the deal the U.S. holds with Saudi Arabia and GCC. They demanded something be done with Iran. Or they would all be forced to seek nuke weapons.

If we didn’t act. They were discussing moving off the Petrodollar since the deal was. We would protect them.

It’s a whole thing. You may want to read up on it. The whole world economy revolves on the Petrodollar.
 
Two tankers shot at in Hormuz by the iranians.. Situation remain unclear..
 
The auto parts stores here used to take your used motor oil for free. Many have stopped accepting the oil because they can’t find drivers to pick up the oil. Or so that’s what their official line is. But it is probably economics. Same as with recycling here. The trash companies want you to pay monthly for a separate trash can to recycle your stuff so in theory, they can make new products out of the recyclables and sell them for a profit from the stuff you gave them for free. I can only imagine what economic/environmental obstacles are involved with the recycling of solar panels and windmill blades.
Yeah we just “recycle” our plastic by shipping it to the Philippines. What happens after that no one cares. The point is that disposal solutions for any man made product always lag the creation and implementation of them.
 
This chart from the https://www.us-debt-clock.com/data/debt-by-president shows the debt increases for each administration. It will be interesting to see if Trump 2 manages to stay lower then Biden or not.

Ok , I did it. Put the D bag @Big_Easy on ignore. I’ll see if this actually works.
What you get to see are the responses to his posts. Its fun to try and guess what his post must have been based on the responses.
 
I am embarrassed for you at this point. You have danced around the facts, posted tangential information that does nothing to disprove my posts, outright lied, attempted insults, and otherwise ignored anything I post that doesn't fit your narrative. Are you ever willing to open your eyes, or admit you dont have all the answers. It's okay to be wrong, we all are from time to time - the key is to learn something and be better, not double down with more of the same.

So I'll give you one more opportunity to learn.

You asked for sources and citations and I gave you that. Now you don't like it? Too bad.
You did not post a single source or citation on any of your replies to me. More on that below.

If you didn't know who Kellyanne was, or her statement, then maybe you're the one who needs to google more.
I told you I did Google her. You just dont like that my reply didn't fit your narrative. Side note, that's an example of how to admit you learned something. It's possible to acknowledge you don't know everything, and other people can introduce you to something new.
"There are 2 (of many) examples of Obama against Iran having nuclear capability"...Obama being against Iran's nuclear program and him saying that they should be bombed and invaded are two separate things. You said bombed/invaded...go re-read your own post. If you don't understand the difference between those two things, you can't be helped.
Did you watch/read the links I added? By the way, those ARE posted sources and citations. The 2nd one clearly says Obama will take military action. You do understand what military action entails, don't you?
If you cannot admit I posted something with a source that discredits your viewpoint, you cannot be helped.

Bernie was not advocating they be bombed and invaded either.
yes, I acknowledged this in my last post. "In fairness, as had been the case with all my posts while you just pick and choose your content, Bernie did not threaten military action against Iran, he only took the stance they should not be allowed to have nuclear capability."

Again, I was willing to give credit that he did not advocate for bombing/invasion. However, since you want to revisit this topic- how, exactly, would the US or anyone ensure Iran does not build nuclear weapons (which Bernie is against them having)? If Iran is unwilling to stop their nuclear program on their own, and they wont be persuaded by verbal threats or wrist-slap sanctions, and if the Democrats drop them pallets of cash allowing them to do it anyway, then the only answer is military action. ... so when Bernie or anyone says they are against Iran having nukes, it leaves a pretty obvious end-point of military action to stop them.

Do me this one thing, please, so that I, or anyone on this forum, can take you seriously:
Admit that someone else posted facts you cannot dispute, but disagree with their viewpoint. You can use any of my posts, or any of the several other members you go back and forth with, or pick a random one. It cannot be any of the lefties for things you agree with; pick any item you want that you have argued against after being proven that you're wrong.
Off ramp - instead of acknowledging I or other conservatives have posted facts you disagree with, just say one nice thing about Donald J Trump.

I will leave it at that. I have easily proven both the meme (which is from the internet, not an original Tbitty composition; I cannot take credit for someone elses work), and my own points, whether you can admit that or not.
 
Once I realized his posts were of no value, I just scrolled by anything he wrote. Seems to work. I have to admit that the responses he elicits can be downright hilarious.
I just posted my final response to his shenanigans. From now on, I will also just keep scrolling to posts that have actual substance and are worth my time to read or respond to.

Yeah, we've been down this road before. It's the same result this time.
Post something he disagrees with, he responds with barely related facts that doesn't address the original post.
Post more to give him the facts, watch the twisting and insults begin.
Post even more facts, the lies start showing up
End scene. Repeat.

Maybe we should stop spending $1.5 trillion per year on the military industrial complex. Or we could tax the rich more. Biden got two infrastructure bills passed, Trump...0.
Blah blah blah what about something that can be fixed vs blah blah blah worn out military industrial complex blah blah blah….
 
LOL, what are talking about, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycle rate. Where do you think all those dead car batteries go when they get swapped out for a fresh one? The landfill? No.


If we can do that with lead-acid batteries, we can do so with Lithium-Ion ones as well. Here's one of several companies that do just that, started by a former tesla executive.

Blah blah blah - I am out of my depth because bla blah and completely unrelated item can be recycled so why can’t everything be oversimplified blah blah blah

I’m sorry but that’s literally all I heard you say

I’m normally very open to different view points but listening to you deliberately sail past inconvenient facts and pivot so that you can only pivot and bitch.

You have earned being only the 3rd person I’ve ever blocked on this site because you’re opinions are simply hollow and only meant to be obtuse.

Military Action ≠ Invasion.....but it could signal one's intent to bomb someone.

"just say one nice thing about Donald J Trump."...I can't say anything particularly nice about Donald Trump as a person since he's a disgusting human being...But if you mean to say "has Trump done anything I agree with," then yes, I can list a few for now;
1. The First Step Act Legislation, Passed 2018
2. The Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act of 2019, and
3. The Great American Outdoors Act of 2020.

So far you've only engaged with me about your meme posts. I don't recall any replies to my posts about the deficit, irresponsible republican spending, Renewable energy, Coal, Environmental concerns, or the 6 dead service members due to inadequate protection.

Like when I've repeatedly posted sources about a variety of topics that most of you have not bothered to read after demanding that I post sources?

The topic of the post and reply was about Battery Recycling buddy. And you think that the recycle rate of lead-acid batteries isn't related to that? You're a special kind of ignorant. If you bothered to actually read the sources, Li-Ion battery recycling can be achieved at a roughly 95% recovery rate. Something something facts.

I appreciate this response. I agree that "Military Action" could mean a variety of things, not necessarily bombing or invasion.

I also agree that Trump is not a particularly good person, though I believe we vary on to what degree he is good/bad. I imagine we have a similar difference of viewpoint on a great number of notable Democrats and Republicans. - I am glad we can agree both sides do some good things.
 
Let’s discuss Biden’s trillions spent on the Green New “Deal”. How many of the millions of electric car charging stations were built? Where is all this Green infrastructure? that the 4 trillion went to?

Also the high costs everyone now but complains about was from Biden irresponsible spending. His own staff told him it was going to cause harmful inflation. Remember “Transitory Inflation” from Janet Yellen ?

The dirty little known secret is that even when high inflation rates come down. That many or most prices of goods do not. The lunatics demanded $15-$20 an hour to work at a fast food joint.

Those pay scales moved up the ladder to every employee. And unless employers find a way to lower every employees pay in the country. Prices are never coming down.
Thank Joe Biden for his reckless “Green New Scam/ slush fund.

But I repeat. Shutting down one or two Learing Centers and a fake Hospice or two in LA will pay for the entire Iran war. Which just saved the world from another North Korea nuke situation. A bully with nuke missiles is doomsday.

That never used to be a left or right discussion. There was a time not too long ago. When every prominent politician said Iran would never be allowed to have a nuke. By any means necessary.

The Biden administration did not spend $4 trillion dollars on green infrastructure. If this is the source you are referring to: https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/budgetary-cost-inflation-reduction-acts-energy-subsidies

1. Then you'll see that $4 trillion is the upper 2050 bound estimate, and that the lower estimate is $2 trillion, and also the current year is 2026, not 2050, so that spending has not actually occurred yet.
2. This analysis was done before Trump's OBBB was passed in the summer of 2025, which cancelled the rest of the IRA spending, which would significantly reduce those estimates now.
3. This analysis was also done by the right-wing CATO Institute, and they are not an impartial source.

"Shutting down one or two Learning Centers and a fake Hospice or two in LA will pay for the entire Iran war."......Since we're spending close to $1 billion/day for the Iran War, I still don't see how the math works out on this one.

"By any means necessary"...I don't recall every prominent politician saying that we should stop Iran by "any means necessary."

Our country has yoked itself to oil for far too long.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
