Warren Buffet: "I can end the deficit in five minutes. You juts pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection."
@sonicdrivein No, it’s not “temporarily unavailable” it’s not on the app at all. Yes I called and my sonics have Diet Coke, but I do most if not all of my ordering through the app to get the 1/2 price drinks and/or points.
I think it was just hate.
By Sincerely, American:
"Trump supporters say, 'We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.'
Fair enough. Let’s take a look.
The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.
General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $80 billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans. He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.
Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.
While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.
He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting ground breaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.
Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.
Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.
Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”
Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns........
He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.
He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered?
If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish: May we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more."
@FixingEducation Require substitute teaching like jury duty, vetted, no choice, can’t be fired. Over time it would change the total perception of the profession. Because everyone would then know how HARD it is.
I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

BREAKING: "Shut up you ugly f*ck" — The official Democratic account on X claps back at Stephen Miller after he insanely accused Democratic candidate James Talarico of being "transgender."
The gloves have really come off now...
"The Democrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender senate candidate," Miller wrote in response to a tweet by the Democratic X account touting Talarico's run for the Senate in Texas.
"shut up you ugly fuck," the Democrats' official account responded.
The response immediately went viral, with many liberals cheering on the party for refusing to play polite with a monster like Miller. Republicans predictably clutched their pearls and decried the lack of civility — a rich complaint coming from a party led by a profane pedophile.
To point out the incredibly obvious here: James Talarico is not transgender. He is a cisgender, heterosexual Christian man with a loving girlfriend. Of course, even if he were trans (or nonbinary or gay or any other identity) that would in no way affect his ability to serve the people of Texas. What matters are his politics.
Miller's shamefully dishonest attack is proof positive that Republicans are in full-blown panic mode over Talarico's candidacy. He's going up against Ken Paxton, an indicted fraudster and philanderer who was impeached by his own party for taking bribes as state attorney general.
Republicans know that they have nothing to offer Texans in the way of policy, so they're resorting to baseless claims. They have also asserted that Talarico is a vegan, which he is not. The gist of their campaign seems to be that he is insufficiently masculine to represent Texas in the Senate, which shows you just how little conservatives think of voters. They believe that if they throw enough culture war rubbish into the mix, Americans will cease to care about the price of groceries and skyrocketing gas. It won't work.
What do you think?
Is it okay for Democrats to use this kind of language when dealing with psychopaths like Stephen Miller?
Please ❤️ and share if you love seeing Democrats fight back!
Ken Paxton was charged with securities fraud, bribery, and he was impeached as TX attorney general, then he basically pardoned a child rapist. He's the perfect Trump-endorsed candidate.
Ken Paxton offered a man 1 day in jail for raping a little boy. Today Texas Republicans made him the GOP nominee for US Senate. The Republican Party protects people who rape kids.
BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior."
Hoffman is the 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30 days.
This is MAGA's vision for the USA. Full story: https://t.co/cU1WnZKAfr
Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years
First-degree felony. Life without parole.
Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.
No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.
Texas protects predators with power!
Perfect reminder about this administration on Memorial Day
Powell was a republican too
Denouncing. Racism is not political
And supporting and/or ignoring racist policies is not just a difference of opinion
