Wow, you still can't figure out that when people compare things, that doesn't mean they are claiming they are the same thing. It was you who tried to claim the opposite, that there was "absolutely no similarity" You set a really low bar there, all I did was point out that there was some similarity. Still crying about it I see.

Exactly. And this is precisely why these kinds of posts are created...

No crap. When discussing emergency spending related to the pandemic, both the 2020 and 2021 years are being discussed. It is the 2022 year that the Biden team and others on the left dishonestly tried to act like Biden somehow cut deficit spending by 50% when all that happened is that there was no more emergency spending on COVID... and yet his deficit spending was still more than 2019 pre-COVID

The Bible says what, how, in what context? As the one specific example you mentioned illustrated, with Lot, you clearly have little more than what appears to be the average surface-level deep talking points you are parroting off of someone somewhere without much more thought given to them.

No, you were trying to claim: "what you will about the leftist tendency to sort people by group identities, but there's absolutely no similarity with the fascist impulse to create a hierarchy of racial supremacy and its stupid to pretend there is." Then I said: "And yet, that identity grouping is much more, it is a hierarchy of victimhood that the left pushes special treatments to give out to them, special rules, laws, and privileges for them that puts them above others. " No, it is not fundamentally incorrect. Authoritarianism is authoritarianism, regardless of political ideology. Have you not heard of a Venn diagram before? I did not say they were the same thing. Its like saying there is a lot of overlap between a truck and a car... I did not say a truck and a car were the same thing, but they have a lot of similarities. You are still crying right now. Look at this hissy fit you are throwing.

You tried to claim that the 2020 deficit was from the 2019 budget when I was pointing out it was from COVID emergency spending. This was part of the dishonest effort to say Trump's deficit spending, not including COVID, was more than Bidens... and it was not. That was the argument at hand and everyone was involved in that emergency spending, as was Trump. So, no, it was not 100% on Trump, it was 100% on everyone.

Nothing simplistic about it, just stating facts here on the spending spree they went on. And I am quite consistent in my criticism on here. In the last few days I have repeatedly criticized both Democrats and Republicans for their spending and just earlier today pointed out that Trump was spending more and racking up the debt during his time as President too...

Why are you crying about it?

I am not here defending them like you are the left... Authoritarianism is neither right wing nor left wing, Fascism is one form of it, but the left can also be as well. There is a pretty large overlap on the Venn diagram between authoritarianism and fascism.

The problem with that, as was noted in the article, is that Obama was President for 8 years. Had Trump been President for 8 years, he would have racked up more debt. Not sure that is a great talking point.

You should take your own advice. Oh, I am sure you will playing this same dumb schtick again in another thread. No need to dishonestly act like you are somehow walking away the better man here. LOL

We are not talking about folks dressed up like a dog for Halloween... we are talking about clearly sexualized fetish level leather and chains... But yeah, sure, lets pretend like it is all just in good fun... what you are doing here isn't honest. Nothing sexualized about these outfits... at all.

And yet, that identity grouping is much more, it is a hierarchy of victimhood that the left pushes special treatments to give out to them, special rules, laws, and privileges for them that puts them above others. The only issue here is one of sematics. Fine, you don't like the term fascism, then we will use the term authoritarianism. When the lefts brand of authoritarianism isn't much different than fascism...

What makes you ask me if it is OK to sell my daughter into slavery? What makes you ask me if it is OK to cheat on all three wives with the next one? What makes you ask me if it is OK to beat a slave as long I they are not killed? You don't seem to be very familiar with how things ended for Lot's lineage... not does The Biblical story offer any moral condoning of what Lot's daughters did. It was merely an account of what was done, which did not turn out too well for them nor do Jews or Christians look on that story as anything other than an example of immorality and the problems of being drunk as well. I am a bit confused now, as you just got done showing your ignorance and bigotry towards Christianity and now... you say go out and do Good Christian stuff? Being a Christian is based on what we know of Jesus as told in The Bible.

Here on out? Democrats STILL cry about Bush v Gore, Democrats spent the entirety of Trumps first term claiming he stole the election with Russia, as did Clinton too. This notion that somehow things are only different now with Trump is just false on its face.

For crying out loud, he said that AFTER you said this: "I am not going to sift through thousands upon thousands of articles from the sources that you listed. "

His deficits come from his spending on the the big infrastructure package they brag about as well as the so-called American Rescue plan, the CHIPS act, the "inflation reduction" act... The Democrats went on a spending frenzy while they could. They own these deficits and this is exactly why we also say they own the continued inflation that went on for years as they dumped money onto the economy like mad men. That is not cherry picking, those are cold hard facts. Biden and the Democrats own these massive deficits.

LOL, because it is going to go real well for him as a Candidate for President after having just been removed by the 25th Amendment from being the current President?

You should consider getting a journal or something. I am not sure you grasp how these public forums work.

He ran smaller deficits as compared to Biden, he ran bigger deficits as compared to Obama... Trump didn't do much of anything to control spending. Neither did Republicans. They all teamed up with Democrats to increase spending. More $$$ for Defense and more $$$ for social programs. This is where Conservatives like me have such a problem with what we call the establishment party, which is both Republicans and Democrats entrenched in the Washington DC way of spending money with no care in the world. Its why we end up 500K dollars going to study shrimp on treadmills...

Huh? This sentence makes no sense. Voters could always elect governments that passed laws restricting and punishing people from "camping" like this. How you think this has anything to do with being able to mandate poor people do not exist is beyond me. If this was a plausible next step... nothing was preventing this before now.

Cities were already able to criminalize homelessness; the SCOTUS struck down an absurd local court ruling that these particular ordinances violated the 8th Amendment protections against cruel and unusual punishment. This does nothing more than was already happening before.

Which is still more than you presented.

You clearly didn't bother with even trying to research what the impeachment was about. What a shame, it is so easy to google this stuff. The world is at your fingertips. I see you are still well entrenched in your ignorance on this subject.

I don't think you are willing to really look at what the answer to that might be.
