  1.  @adlucem9845  Sounds like a classic republican issue. "We can't give people handouts"

  2.  @GreyRock100  It absolutely proves that it doesn't have this huge negative effect like people are crying about. If they have stores that pay 15 and stores that don't pay 15 it's literally a perfect experiment. It's called having a control and it absolutely does make a valid argument.

  3. What is she supposed to be doing about a covid spike in her home state? I don't understand the criticism. And nobody chooses their vacation destination based on the politics of a person that might be within a 1,000 mile radius. "I once knew a guy from Florida that I did not agree with therefore I am never allowed to go to Florida again." .... republican logic apparently.

  4. Every Canadian person I have talked to has praised having healthcare for all and been very appreciative that they had access to such care without going bankrupt. And they also said the wait was generally less than in the US. (Most of them had some sort of heart issues/surgery) Plus maybe if we stop letting Pepsi and Mcdonalds lobby the USDA on what the nutritional guidelines should be then people would actually know that beans an vegetables are healthy and animal products like red and processed meat cause disease and cancer. We won the war on smoking, we can also win the war on climate and nutritional ignorance too!

  6.  @lisafolks47  wet markets are NOT "seafood" markets. You should actually do some research. It takes like 0.5 seconds to look up "wet market" and see that they are the exact places where viruses are born.

  8.  @chicodalianis8004  of course.... being vaccinated doesn't make you immune to death. lol If nobody that has been vaccinated had died so far I would be concerned that Republicans will use the vaccine to obtain immortality. Haha

  9.  @lifelores  Also, every state that I'm aware of requires insurance, which here in Michigan is at absolutely ridiculous prices. (<-edit: For cars) Plus the 2nd amendment was written in a time in which reloading a single shot took 5 minutes. If they could see all the machine guns, bombs and nuclear weapons of today I'm sure they would have had second thoughts. lol I just can't think of any reason why people would need to bring an assault weapon to a grocery store. Daniel C I think the real victims are those killed by maniacs with guns because there's little regulation and easy access.

  11.  @victorhopper6774  Every mechanic was at one time not a mechanic. Would you hire them before they were a mechanic then? In that case I'll fix your car, I'm planning on becoming a mechanic sometime in the future. It's one thing to get your first job with no experience, it's entirely another thing to have that first job be the President of a nation that controls nukes when you are an unstable trust-fund egomaniac.

  17.  @littleredhen8695  I say the politicians and corporations that deregulated and disconnected their grid and failed to adequately set up the energy infrastructure just to save a few dollars should be forced to pay the relief money. Let them feel the full force of the giant throbbing fuck that their constituents are feeling because of their greed.

  18.  @Bbenkosky  Yes because banks printing their own money and then getting bailed out for illegal practices is not a scam??? Defi crypto is the future. Not a scam.

  19.  @BradyBHull  THat's just stupid. Imagine if every stock guru was charged every time they gave stock or financial advise or opinions. Warren Buffet would be the poorest person in America. lol If people are all stupid enough to listen to one man and lose a bunch of money by selling at the bottom they shouldn't be buying in to begin with.

  20. Trump spent billions giving the border agents cyborg enhanced eyes with AI so that's how they see so well. Also now that Biden is president he has ordered the border patrol agents they are only to wave to terrorists in a friendly manner and point the way to republicans houses to steal their jobs, votes and healthcare. lol - according to the GOP

  23. This guy is claiming that tax cuts for billionaires is a good thing? And that rich people having more money in their bank accounts stimulates the economy? Sounds delusional. "economies are not driven by consumption" Yes dude they are. When people consume more, production increases, economy increases. It's like he doesn't even understand basic supply and demand.

  24.  @coreyham3753  Yeah right. They made cigarette cartons put concise cancer warnings on all their products and Faux news is arguably more dangerous that cigarettes.

  25.  @nappel6496 "1. Cheaper than Medicare for All" "national healthcare expenditure (NHE) grew 4.6% to $3.8 trillion in 2019" Your number of 3.4 trillion a year is less than we paid in 2019..... unless you can't do math... 34 divided by 10 is 3.4. So very far from doubling. Also, illegals don't get medicaid or any kind of free medicare. They only get emergency care. Stop watching Fox news. "2. Can purchase land from private owners or they can agree to allow the Government to build on it. Also might be an easement argument there. " That's the opposite of freedom. I don't see any choice in that demand. The government forcing you to give up your property to build a wall through it. I'm willing to bet any republican would be against that happening to them. "3. Biden just killed thousands of Union jobs shutting down Keystone XL. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind the work. And since when is job creation being used in a negative manner" Thousands of jobs? Millions out of work? Dude there was maybe 1,000 pipline jobs for the Keystone pipeling. The rest of the jobs were projected future jobs that don't exist yet. Not to mention they were all super temporary jobs. Once the pipe is built, that's the end of your job. Plus renewable energy already has more and better paying jobs for Americans that oil. Even more renewable jobs will increase that further and at the same time provide us with an energy source that doesn't pollute our own air and water, will never run out or get more expensive and will stop China from dominating the renewable energy market cause we are too stupid to invest in new technology. Luddites have a point in resisting tech that destroys jobs without creating new ones like automation to replace people but solar is not replacing people, it's giving them better jobs and pay. Forbes - “The median hourly wages for clean energy jobs overall are about 25 percent higher than the national median wage,” the study found. Compared with jobs in the coal, natural gas and petroleum industries, which pay about $24.37 an hour, jobs in solar and wind pay about $24.85 an hour, while jobs in the energy efficiency—the biggest employer in America’s energy sector—come with median salaries of about $24.44." "4. I guess the timeframe would be dependent on the amount of obstruction from Democrats. Still though, it could be done in a single Presidential term." Trump had a single term.... he only added 49 miles to the border wall and how can dems obstruct when Mexico is paying the bill?

  31. Jim from Michigan thank you for opening your eyes. I think we need warning labels on fake news shows like Fox. Like, all cigarette cartons have a cancer warning on them. Fox News should have to have at least a banner that says that it's not reality. Or "this is opinion, not fact or hard news" and if they don't then they should be legally liable for propagating known lies. It's disgusting that they keep getting out of lawsuits for lying and slander by their lawyers saying "it's just opinion and people should know that it's not real".

  32. Jeez what am I doing working for a living when I could become a politician and get paid bank to commit crimes with impunity and all I have to do is string together as many unrelated words as I can.

  33. yep.... lost a lot of respect for Russell over the last year. Now he's comparing Facebook to the CDC as both being only concerned with profits....? What? He surely knows the CDC is not a for-profit corporation. He's pandering for Trump, agreeing with Tucker Carlson, pushing right-wing conspiracy theories, promoting vaccine hesitancy if not downright denial and claiming both sides are equally valid when comparing anti-vax morons to scientists who spend their entire lives researching viruses. It's bad days ahead I'm afraid.

  34. It's literally the futurama skit where the lawyer lady says "I don't understand evolution and I have to protect my kids from understanding it. We will not give in to the thinkers!"

  35. So fucking true. And then Trumps going to come back in 2024 and somehow win, do the whole thing over again, destroy the country further and then get to pass it off on whoever is next Again! I'm think that this 4 year period is going to really help save/cement the whole Trumpism movement. He got to give rich people our hard earned tax money, then sidestep his withdrawal from Afghanistan pullout treaty "disaster" as well as all the covid fallout from deaths, economy, shipping backlog disaster, paying for the bills that HE spent during his term and leaving that to make the Dems look bad, as well as giving him more time to incite his base and warm more morons to Fascism, etc. That shit is terrifying. The US fucking sucks. I don't know how people are stupid enough to see a competent, I-care-about-the-working-class leader in such a fucking narcissistic greedy buffoon of a tyrant.

  36.  @jamesgentry6814  Incase you were unaware, since you so obviously are, Trump pumped way more money into the system than Biden so if anything Inflation would be Trumps fault, second, most of the inflation is transistory due to supply chain issues which are NOT a presidents fault! Incase you've been in a coma until just 3 seconds ago there was this thing called covid which caused worldwide supply chain issues. How you can blame a worldwide issue that existed before his term on Biden is beyond stupid. Also, idk why cyber crime attacks would be Bidens fault either, he's not the one doing them..... again with the logic man. Race divisions... again, Floyd was murdered before Biden, cops have been and continue to be servants for the rich white Nazis (obviously not all of them) which is a problem that was around since before Biden entered the WH. Border issues have literally been the same for decades now. He should definitely do better but he's basically kept Trumps policies in place so I fail to see how you can blame that on Biden as well, unless you mean he should be doing better than Trump in which case I guess we agree. Pulling out of Afghan was Trumps call, he's the one that signed the Treaty!! For Fucks Sake!!! We've been there for 20 fucking years and it can't hold out for 1 fucking week?!?! Yeah, time to get out. Weakness on world stage?? Who the fuck cares what our stupid media wants to shove down your stupid gullible throat! We spend 3 times more than China on the Military and way more than China and the next top 10 nations combined. So I'm not sure you are smart enough to comprehend the level of disparity in spending. Or are you suggesting that we should always be invading other countries for no reason just to puff our chest and say "look at me Ma, I'm a real man, I can kill children and women and innocent civilians for no reason!".

  39. Insulin is NOT mostly for people with type 1. Most cases of diabetes are overwhelmingly type 2, many of which (but not all) require insulin. Many more people are pre-diabetic, meaning they do not yet have diabetes but probably will at some point in the future. I know several people myself that have type 2 and need insulin. I don't care whether someone is overweight or not though, they don't deserve to be bankrupted by drug costs. I agree we should prioritize people making healthier choices to lower the incidence of preventable disease but republicans seem to be against that which just makes them hypocrites. "My freedumbs are more important than my diseases or your life" seems to be basically the republican moto.

  40.  @brewcitymike1  Owning cash is a great way to devalue your money and hard work. At least keep some of your money in VOO or something. Stock market returns an average of 8% meanwhile inflation will steal 2%. Which would you rather have? -2% or +8%? Most Ceo's and billionaire get paid in stock for a reason. It can make or break your retirement. Good luck.

  42.  @anthonystewart3185  I totally feel the same way. My parents think facebook is covering up all the evidence of election fraud...... as if there are no other websites in existence that could be used to share information. Or (option 2) ,as if facebook has complete control over the entirety of the internet somehow. I'm not sure which of those two they believe but either option shows a shocking lack of critical thinking skills and just an overall dearth of basic knowledge about how reality.

  43. You'd rather trust a bank????? Seriously? You need some bank history 101. A decentralized financial system sounds way better to me. No more banks printing money and getting bail outs.

  44. I think the only suspicious thing here is why they would hire someone like her to count anything much less ballots. Why was she working a 24 hour shift? That's just stupid. Also, "these vans did not have enough food for 2/3's of the workers" ...well since you couldn't see what was in them.... maybe perhaps they did? or... or maybe they had food for 1/3 of the workers and then other vans had more food. lol She sounds like a typical religious apologist saying "well i don't know or have any evidence, so it must have been a god and not one of the other 100 gods but only the one I like who has suspiciously human interests and characteristics".

  46. lol If they are rich then they already have more money to put into workers, why would we need to give them more? The whole idea behind trickle-down econ makes no sense.

  47.  @robertspencer6320  Your points are moronic. Bread is 100% safe, yet some people can't eat it. Strawberries are 100% safe, yet some people are allergic to them. There are always some tiny fraction of a minority that these statements don't apply to. Also, no vaccine is 100% effective, and nobody is claiming that any of them are. They are still wholly dependent on your immune system, therefore they could never be 100% effective as long as people's immune systems are not all powerful and immortal.
