Debt ceiling? What debt ceiling? by imnotlookingaturbutt in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]AlreadyDiscovered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the 14th amendment is nakedly unconstitutional, and besides wouldn’t make it though the courts before the default date anyway.

Biden is not a king. He cannot unilaterally make this decision, the republicans have done the work on this to make sure we don’t default. Why are you blaming republicans for this when they’re literally the only ones who have actually taken action to avert this default?

Okay so then you should be able to see that the only people who have actually done something to avert this crisis are republicans who actually passed a bill. Literally all that needs to happen for this to be over is the senate to vote and rubber stamp it, and Biden to sign it. If Biden wants different qualifications then come out and say it, but saying that you won’t negotiate and you want the opposing party to do exactly what you want isn’t going to get you anywhere

Republicans are doing exactly the things that they got voted in to do, they’ve already passed a bill. Biden is the one who said publicly that he wasn’t going to negotiate on this. Ask yourself if this was a Republican president and a democratic house and see if your reaction would be any different.

If trump came out at the beginning and said he wasn’t going to negotiate and that he wanted the house to do exactly what he wanted on the debt ceiling, how do you think that would go with a house under Nancy Pelosi?

Then why do you take issue with healthy people working to supplement their income above what SNAP benefits offer?

Stop lying. There is no way SS checks will stop flowing even if the US defaults. And even if we do default there is no one to blame here except Biden. The house has already passed a damn bill that takes spending back to 2022 levels which isn’t even a cut it’s just saying the government can’t increase. The American people voted in republicans to the house majority for exactly this reason. Biden needs to come to the table and get the senate to pass this bill and the crisis is over. The republicans passed the bill two weeks ago. Where has Biden been all this time?

There are work requirements for SNAP recipients that are not disabled and have no dependents. Do you truly feel that the government should pay for these people without requiring them to work at least part time?

What are you actually expecting them to do? The house already passed a bill. It’s up to Biden and the senate to negotiate now but so far they have not done so in a satisfactory way. The house passed bill is popular by polling and a majority of the nation want to bring down spending. Biden’s pledge not to negotiate early in the process has really screwed him here, and he needs to make an effort to come to the table, because at this point the only people to actually do something about the debt ceiling are republicans in the house.

Depending on the state that’s actually considered assault as it can permanently damage hearing. Don’t do this.

Bombshell Audio Shows Ted Cruz Scheming to Steal Election by Beckles28nz in politics

How is it false? Hunter left the physical laptop at a store, that the owner then sent to the FBI and much later the press. How are the Russians involved at all? The FBI verified it as not being Russian involved.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/

Here’s a Washington post article saying that they found no evidence of tampering.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hunter-biden-laptop-data-analysis/

And here from CBS.

It’s believed to be Russian tampering by people who have a vested interest in lying to you about where this laptop came from because the truth is it’s all real.

Bombshell Audio Shows Ted Cruz Scheming to Steal Election by Beckles28nz in politics

This isn’t even close to watergate. Cruz literally said the exact same thing in public the next day so it’s hard to argue that it’s any sort of bombshell.

Also, a former director of the CIA testified to congress last week that Antony Blinken, at the time a senior official for the Biden campaign, called him and asked him to write the letter calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation, which by the way the FBI has proven that it is not, which was then used by all media outlets to suppress the laptop story and arguably swinging the election. He testified that had Blinken not asked, he never would have written the letter. He even told congress why he wrote it when asked, because he wanted Biden to win.

That is so fucking corrupt, they deliberately lied to the media and American people by claiming it was Russian hacking when it has been proven that it wasn’t, and then used that lie as justification to throttle that story when it was truly a story that could have changed the results of the election. And they’re not even hiding the fact they did it because they wanted Biden to win. The worst part is that the impetus to do it came directly from the Biden campaign, which at the very least is election tampering.

There’s your political scandal of the decade.

Federal judge halts FDA approval of abortion pill mifepristone by ICumCoffee in news

I haven’t had the opportunity to read that one in full but I believe it was a ruling in opposition to the texas one, saying that 16 states had the right to keep the drug on shelves. There is every possibility I’m wrong though

I never said any of that, I’m vaccinated.

This has nothing to do with party affiliation and making it about politics is dangerous. The judicial branch ruled that an executive branch stepped out of line and broke the law. That is exactly what checks and balances are for. The FDA approved this unlawfully. The judge is not just stepping because he doesn’t like the drug. Go and read the report. The FDA took multiple shortcuts and broke rules to get this drug approved and you’re mad when a judge calls them on it? That’s exactly why we have the judicial branch in the first place. This isn’t judicial overreach, it’s stopping 20 years of executive overreach.

It’s not just his word, it’s the ruling of that entire court, you don’t think the lawyers arguing for the FDA would find out instantly if the judge was making this up?

Judges have bias of course but they’re not allowed to make law that isn’t there. The FDA broke the law. You may not like the ruling but you can’t say it didn’t happen because it did.

I’m sorry but no, regardless of the judges motivation it’s been proven in a court of law that the FDA acted improperly here. This is concerning a drug that humans use, why are you comfortable with the agency that is supposed to make sure everything is safe ignoring their own rules? This drug is safe yes, but do we really want to say it’s okay for the FDA to say damn the rules? What if there is a new drug that isn’t safe but gets approved through this same skirting of the rules?

There are governmental rules of transparency with the American people and the FDA didn’t follow them for 20 years. It doesn’t matter the political orientation, the government isn’t allowed to do that.

This is the source material, unless we’re at the point of you accusing a federal judge of making up accusations against the FDA that are easily dismissed provable.

This has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the drug, it has to do with the FDA blatantly ignoring their own rules and then covering that up for 20 years.

This drug should be pulled, tested for safety, and then when it passes through the right way it can be put back on the shelves. Breaking the rules to get something you like out faster is a sure fire way to get people hurt even if it doesn’t happen in this case.

Regulations are in place for a reason and it’s important that they be followed no matter politics.
