And that's because liberals are the dividing force of this nation. I would have no problem drinking a beer with any of you even though you think differently politically than me

I would suggest that the side trying to force an unpopular agenda on the majority is the divisive one. But what do I know.

“And that's because liberals are the dividing force of this nation.“

The body of work is nothing short of impressive, but this might well be the stupidest thing you have posted.

[ousdahl]

LOL at you guys who still think there's that much difference between dems and pubs.

sorry, that's must be the algorithm talking.

as I say good bye to the social media RaDiCaLiZaTiOn!!!!, just one more meme...

[Sparko]

The difference is pretty obvious when you look at policies and are not 1mm deep in memes.

[DCHawk1]

i’ve not seen anyone mention it specifically, but i’m heartened by the fact that the “imminent” ground invasion of gaza has yet to happen

i don’t think this would at all be the case if not for the work of both Blinken and Biden. to their credit, they’ve dimplomacy’d the fuck out of this situation

Maybe it's Blinken/Biden -- at least in small part.

In larger part, though, I think IDF leaders know that it's a trap.

It may be a trap that is necessary to test, but I think/hope they're weighing their strategic options.

I'd rather have a beer with Sparko than Randy.

I would rather drink bleach and/or colonoscopy prep with Sparko than have any beverage with randy.

So.....
Does Uncle Joe take/get any credit (that he doesn't deserve?) for the return of the two American hostages?

You could blame him just as easily. He forked over 6 billion in exchange for 5 people. He incentivized taking American hostages

And oh yeah, that 6 billion was funneled into hamas and helped fund terrorism

But sure yeah, let's just give him credit

Stop lying

[Sparko]

Tiresome lies by Randy. I am all for using the sequestered Iranian cash for Gaza relief and relief for families attacked by Hamas. And maybe some Russian cash not rebuilding Ukraine

Well go figure they/them insisting the difference is pretty obvious when you look at policies and not 1mm deep in good-guy-bad-guy team sport partisan politics.

When you do, you realize many of Biden’s policies are actually pretty “republican.”

Labor, wages, health care, social security, infrastructure. Republican in 1968

Except, if they can elect Johnson as speaker of the house, the next presidential election won't necessarily matter.

The US economy has had stronger growth than other advanced economies, a better labor market for workers than other advanced economies, and inflation came down faster (and is now lower) than other advanced economies.

Thanks Joe!

Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale
And it's about to set sail

I got me a car, it seats about twenty, so come on
And bring your jukebox money


GDP measures the monetary value of final goods and services—that is, those that are bought by the final user—produced in a country in a given period of time (say a quarter or a year). It counts all of the output generated within the borders of a country.

[jfish26]

Fun fact - GDP quarterly growth hasn’t hit 4.9% in the last sixty-four (64) quarters of pub occupancy of the big chair.

Did not know that!

Maybe if republicans had older, wiser, more experienced presidential candidates?

except:

Thursday's report on the nation's gross domestic product — the economy's total output of goods and services — showed that consumers drove the acceleration, ramping up their spending on everything from cars to restaurant meals. Even though the painful inflation of the past two years has soured many people's view of the economy, millions have remained willing to splurge on vacations, concert tickets and sports events.

seems like i’ve been saying this for months…Americans writ large have decided they don’t care; they’re going to keep spending regardless

I agree thats the general trend. It'll don't think it's a good thing long term though. We're gonna have some serious problems in 20 or 30 years when we're all in need of retirement and health services that nobody can afford.
