Yes Sir, could not have put it any better Jeff. OT.... Nazi tries to beak through WH barrier in order to do what? Oh did I mention he had a huge Nazi flag in his UHaul truck... Another straight line from Charlottesville to J6 to today... I love the smell of Nazis getting busted early in the morning.... as my grandpa would say to these Nazis...fuck em. Thanks Jeff for all you do.

I really am at a loss for words. I think Jeff said it all and unfortunately it’s all the f-ing truth! The media is really pissing me off!

I'm not even going to comment except to say that I agree and I am so angry I could spit every time I think about the lazy media that just regurgitates GQP talking points!

Media ARE really pißing me off. Media is plural. Singular is medium.

Do you write “people is?”

A dictionary is a compendium of definitions and almost never includes instructions on correct usage. When a word is used erroneously by many, the dictionary can't exclude it on that basis, otherwise people who legitimately don't know what it means won't be able to understand what they're reading.

The better dictionaries will inform you when a word is fallen out of use, or is deprecated, but you'll find "ain't" in dictionaries too.

No, it is not "a different word." It is the plural of "medium," and using it as a singular is incorrect, just like "they."

I don't understand what kind of conformist impulse compels people to defend pidgin grammar, but it isn't an impulse I share.

The 14th Amendment says the debt of the United States shall not be questioned. To me, that means the money has been spent and must be paid. It makes me wonder if the debt ceiling is just a manufactured political ploy. The national budget is what is out of control and Congress needs to reign in earmarks and other unnecessary spending, and raise taxes on wealthy corporations and the super rich.

Why in the hell is the media calling it a debt crisis? They should be calling it the GOP EXTORTION PLAN TO RUIN OUR ECONOMY. This is enraging and more bullshit thrown in our faces. This is nothing more than a lunatic threat from Republicans to destroy good faith in our country, our economic stability, the world economy. Why the hell does the media report on it like there are two reasonable sides working on a compromise? The media’s attempt at neutrality in the face of liars, cheats, hypocrites, destroyers and monsters doesn’t work!!! STOP IT, DAMMIT!!!!

Kevin is so afraid of losing his speakership that he forgets he works for the PEOPLE, not for Marge and Gaetz.

I just wish the guilty whores with corporate news would read your post and recognize themselves. I’m sick to death of complicit media “news.” We can thank them for Trump, the racial and political divide, Jan. 6, mass shootings and just about any other ill this country is suffering. They’ve traded honest reporting for sensationalism and click bait. Damn them all to hell!!!

If they default it’s because they want to make a fool of Joe Biden. Shame on them for letting their hatred get in the way. My household depends on SSI and Medicare/MediCal. I’m totally in such a funk it’s not even funny.

There should be a punishment for holding the country hostage. There is plenty of time afterwards to discuss budget cuts. Yes there is room for improvement but not what McCarthy is proposing. His and Republickcunts at this moment suck big time!

So happy to hear you say this. I’ve been wondering why someone hasn’t come out and explained this made up BS. Why do republicans get away with this time after time? Where is the democratic leadership (?) that they simply cannot fight back? There are facts and numbers to prove how many needless trillions republicans spent when trump was in office. Yet no problem lifting that debt limit and having McCarthy explain ON VIDEO the simple fact of what raising the limit is all about. Wtf is wrong with our leadership that they cannot reach the public with these facts? It starts there.

I will not go so far as saying the press is the enemy of the people but that’s only because really fucking rotten people in history have said that for corrupt motives including our very own cockroach piece of human garbage. The media is as big a traitor to our country as the orange scumbag is. Period, full fucking stop.

If Bakersfield voted there would be no Qevin.

While there are Dems, Kern County and Bakersfield are pretty red. That’s how Qev keeps getting elected. It’s not because he does anything to keep his job, he doesn’t.

I lived there a long time and had friends who had literally NEVER voted, ever. It is red because it disenfranchises its population.

I'm wondering why Biden doesn't just use the 14th amednment & stop this for npw & next year etc

my prediction is that Biden will invoke the 14th at the very last second before a default. but I have no facts with which to support this hunch

Because if he doesn't wait, the Republicans then turn it on Biden saying he's the one not willing to negotiate and is just abusing his power. If he waits, then at least he can say they tried negotiating, but the Republicans were ready to send our economy to the toilet. I prefer he wait as well.

Not only that, which I completely agree with, the seated seditionists commit another act against our constitution in plain sight of the entire world. Let’s not forget to throw SCOTUS’ part in on that dumpster fire.

MSM will try once again, “What you saw happen with your own eyes didn’t happen. Here’s what really happened...”. Lie, lie, lie, lie some more.
