I'd say hopefully they keep spouting this nonsense b/c it exposes their endgame, but CNN & MSM will support it & sheeple will agree. It's really sad TBH.

Insane. Funny the portraits of past speakers she removed were Democrats.

No, they are guaranteeing a win for Trump. The people she is pandering to do not vote in the numbers that the people Trump is pandering to do.

We’ll see. There’s 4+ months to go, and I don’t think this thing is anywhere close to over. But I can’t avoid the conclusion that *For Now* Biden has the upper-hand.

I have no doubt if you ask 100 people, a fat majority will say 'Biden'. But when it comes down to taking time out of your day to go vote, a lot more of those who say 'Biden' won't actually go vote. Obama could motivate people who didn't typically vote to go out and do so. Joe cannot do that. Although hmmm. Maybe I should wait and see who his running mate is before I double down on my claim.

RE: Pelosi's talking about getting rid of founding fathers
Marxist playbook, to takeover a country you have to eliminate its national identity. Like them or not, from Washington to Trump this nation would not be what it is, Land of Opportunity without them. Without the US the Germany would likely have won WWI and certainly would have won WWII, anyone who ignores this doesn't belong in the US.

I'm quite certain that the founding fathers would want to get rid of Nancy Pelosi.

RE: Pelosi's talking about getting rid of founding fathers
History is not that far removed. One of my wife's grandfathers was born in 1875, only 11 years after the Civil War. This article talks about how they recently uncovered a map showing where burials were at Antietam. The last line in the article: https://www.foxnews.com/science/discover...p-antietam
"...The last person to receive a Civil War-era pension died in North Carolina last month, according to reports."
Just because Pelosi knew George Washington and Donald Trump is no George Washington is no reason to remove statues to George Washington.

I would agree with them as would most sane Americans.

RE: Pelosi's talking about getting rid of founding fathers
Pelosi and the corporate Dems will go as far down the dumb road of pandering on "social justice" instead of addressing a single one of the underlying issues. When your only job is to prop up big money interests it's the only option you have. It's why I have to be tortured by idiots calling Pelosi a "progressive" or a "socialist" when she's never advocated for a pro worker policy in her entire fu*king career.

RE: Pelosi's talking about getting rid of founding fathers
Anybody who wants to keep the country shut down doesn't have an ounce of empathy for normal working class people. If you are an office worker and can work from home, the shutdowns are an inconvenience, but not significant. If you cut hair, work in a restaurant, do construction, work in the leisure industry,....

Yes it absolutely crushes those industries. Open everything back up fully with the current conditions though and does everyone go back to their exact same spending habits? Absolutely not. You couldn't pay me to go eat inside a restaurant or go inside a bar right now. Despite me being bald I had a girl I went to every couple of weeks to shave my head and cut my beard, I'm doing that all myself now for the foreseeable future. Opening back up alone doesn't make demand come back to a level that can keep these industries going.

No it doesn't. And the longer the shutdowns, the less likely they open at all. But some people will choose to go to those places. And people will spend money someplace for entertainment options.
I think everyone in both parties underestimates how much long term damage the shutdowns have done to the economy. Bunch of empty retail/restaurant storefronts. Not everyone can drive a truck and deliver packages.

You are in the miniscule minority. Everything that is open is only limited to the lack of employees. Come August 1 (when unemployment ends) America's economic engine will be on fire again. Evey restaurant in town has a wait every night of the week.

Which is why maybe Josh Hawley's payroll plan should have gotten some actual consideration. Maybe why the small business portion of the bailout shouldn't have had a cap on it. Maybe the goal should have been to protect small businesses and workers and not billionaires, wall street, and massive corporations. Oh well.
