Yet another idiotic take. $42 billion divided by 3 million households is several times the going rate. But of course much of that money was not spent on broadband at all but rather NGOs of the Democratic party.

CNBC: Budget deficit rose in December and is now 40% higher than it was a year ago

"The three-month fiscal year 2025 deficit rose to $710.9 billion, some $200 billion more than the comparable period in the prior year, or 39.4%.

"Rising financing costs along with continued spending growth and declining tax receipts have combined to send deficits spiraling and have pushed the national debt past the $36 trillion mark."

Bidenomics.

More Biden games. How petty, just like Obama. Or maybe it was Obama.

Zipper! You're back. Oh man I was worried about you. Finally back from the corner of shame I sent you to with that poorly researched piece on myocarditis/pericarditis? Its ok. You gotta look at the sources bro. Then you post.

$42 million? 3 million households? What on earth are you on about now? Its 3 million households that now have internet thanks to Biden. The $42 billion is the BEADS program. Separate from the 3 million. You're slow. Its ok. Click back on the posts and read them so you can keep up.

Well done, President Biden. Taking care of Americans right up until the end.

Sorry, RWNJs.

First of all: an actual end to the war is a great outcome, however it happened.

Secondly: I kind of love that it's happening at the exact moment that will allow Democrats and Republicans to continue arguing about who deserves the most credit, until the end of time.

I think Joe Biden gave credit where credit is due:

"My diplomacy never ceased in their efforts to get this done."

"Their" being the operative word and referring to President Trump and his envoy, Steve Witkoff.

It is a great outcome, obviously. And I am not going to let the development pass without highlighting it for the MAGA posters. We all know they would have preferred it if Trump had arranged a Reagan-type deal. They are that anti-American. Let the record show that the hostages were freed by Biden.

I hope it works out…but excuse me if I distrust any deal brokered by an Administration that saw fit to nominate Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel:

And let's also take heed in his warning that the country stands on the brink of oligarchy. Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk. As Biden says, "Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact checking."

Our national nightmare of misinformation is just beginning.

I dunno man. Biden's still president for now, and I saw him make the announcement. He also got some names wrong, so I know it was him.

I'm glad that Donald Trump, in a respectful act if bipartisanship, was so willing to help Joe Biden achieve this goal.

So does Trump get credit/blame or not? Was Trump indispensable (as per lots of reports) or was it all Biden? You and the other liberals need to pick one claim and stick with it.

And do you know who has created misery for Palestinians? Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. The Palestinians will have continued misery (and not a state) as long as Hams is empowered. Biden never figured that out. Trump and his team already have.

If you really cared about the Palestinians, Mike Huckabee would be somewhere around number 50 on the priority list of things to be concerned about. But there you go again with TDS.

No one cares about the Palestinians, goggles. I think Noam Chomsky said it best (paraphrasing), "no one cares about the plight of the Palestinians because they do not have enough money for anyone to care".

Trump will greenlight settlements in Gaza and that will be that. Palestinians will always be a diaspora, getting kicked out of Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Chile, the US. He may even put a hotel down on the coast. Trump does not care about the Palestinians, Goggles. To even suggest that he wants to end this conflict out of sympathy, empathy or even to have a greater understanding of Middle East dynamics is ridiculous. Its pure ego and his relationship with Bibi. Get real.

I mean, letting Israel have all of it WOULD end the conflict.

I never said Biden or Trump care about the Palestinians. My point was Bearister doesn't care about them either. Because if he did, he would be calling for the removal of Hamas. Instead he's posting about an ambassador who hasn't even taken office yet.

LMAO re "settlements in Gaza." Care to bet about that.

Question - why do the Palestinians keep getting kicked out of countries (according to you)? What explanation can you offer?

Settlements in Gaza seem unlikely for now, given that it's a smoldering crater. But more settlements in the West Bank? I expect to see that.

"My point was Bearister doesn't care about them either. Because if he did, he would be calling for the removal of Hamas."

Hamas are bad actors and what they did at that music concert was evil. With that said, the Just War principle of Proportionality of Response was, in my opinion, violated by the execution of 70,000 people in Gaza.

Gaza death toll has been significantly underreported, study finds | CNN

I'm a Moderate, not a Liberal. You don't have to be a Liberal to be of the opinion that Trump, Netanyahu and Mike Huckabee are not good people.

It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of foreign powers are a bit discombobulated by what they perceive as Trump's strength and unpredictability ("Whoa, that dude's a little crazy!"). Maybe the two administrations were able to play good cop / bad cop with some success. Hey, whatever works. Kudos to both.

I'm not sure, however, that that is an effective long-term strategy for Trump 47, nor is it likely to work against China and, especially, Russia (since Putin knows quite well that he owns Trump).


Gotta love China's President Xi. Has he mastered that benign/benevolent facial expression, or what? The guy scares me a lot more than Putin, who at least has his cards on the table. WTH are we gonna do if China finally makes the big play for Taiwan? You know, the Taiwan with the awesome microchips*.



* totally digressing here, but whatever happened to Intel? HTH do you go from world's best microprocessors, to being forced to suck around hoping to become government subsidized, in order to save your azz?
