I didn’t realize you needed the damn thing spelled out for you.

In other words if I can keep digging I might reach you. You’re playing serious mental gymnastics which is only leaving you sucking your own mental dick. Follow the thread. My initial comment was “retelling of history” or in other words revisionist history because the other doog made a comment...

Lol did you forget your original poast to start this whole thread, or every righties poast following that all complaining about the current relief bill? We’ve been talking about that bill the entire time. Sorry if you forgot that, maybe it’s time for you to take your L so you can focus on...

I’m not sure where you’re getting some of your numbers, but “Nancy” agreed to a 1.9t price tag not 900b. So no in fact she didn’t settle for what she could’ve had before and the Reps did move closer to the Dems numbers. So in other words both sides moved. Your alternative facts don’t help your case.

The Dems were pretty clear in this case that they felt the relief support needed to be as big as they could make it and it would in fact be hurtful to pass something too small that only passed the buck for a future round of relief. They went big, the Reps predictably said no. Have things changed...

Well you certainly cherry-picked a quote from that article. Read the whole thing and it basically says both sides played politics. Only a firmly biased perspective can read that whole article and come away thinking it was all the Dems fault a relief bill wasn’t passed. But you’re free to be...

Was this before or after the Republicans failed to agree to a bill proposed by the Dems? No what I am saying is the inept response by the government really fell on both sides. To state that the blame for the failed government response lies with one side is revisionist history. Both sides played...

That’s an interesting retelling of history.

Now I specifically said I was trying to avoid oversimplifying it and here you are doing it. Emission trends are not just a simple up or down number and global politics are not just a simple “good or bad” for the US. A global movement toward reduced emissions with the US leading the way was/still...

This is a totally fair stance with many good points. It doesn’t take into account several factors though. The senate operated largely under bad faith throughout much of Obama’s presidency and wouldn’t vote anything in if he backed it. The US has been one of the largest producers of emissions...

Missing the forest for the trees.

A better response. I’ll connect some dots, I understand some might have got lost. It was a French opinion that mail-in ballots might lead to voter fraud. An opinion they’ve had for decades and were rethinking after they witnessed the huge voter turnout in the US. Given the derisive attitude...

And this means exactly what? Is the UN a USA only organization? Where the UN is located means little to the point here. Thanks for trying.

Well you actually wrote a sentence this time. Not a deflection at all. The point was Europe and whether or not we value their opinions. Sure feels like global organizations (UN) and “accords” (Paris) are relevant.
