President Joe Biden

Example -- A few days ago I signed up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime (I admit it was a moment of weakness because I didn't really need the 2-day delivery on raw peanuts for wild bird feed). Trying to get the most out of the trial, I started reading a Kindle book on my laptop's Amazon account page. That caused me to wonder if the book could be transferred to the Kindle Fire that my kids gave me as a Christmas gift years ago and that I had set aside for some time unused since I haven't been traveling anywhere in the last year or so. Well -- not only does my Amazon account already know all the ebooks on my Kindle, the Kindle knew about the book I had been reading on my laptop and even opened it to the right page.

That's both amazing, but also terrifying when I start to imagine possible ways it could be misused. Also isn't Kindle an Amazon designed software product?

How do you like the kindle? I've switched over to a kindle as well. It's waterproof, fits in a coat pocket and so far has options for every title I've looked for. I love books and want to hate eReaders... but damn. There is a lot to like.

I use it when I am traveling and don't want to be weighed down by a lot of books. I was pleased to see that after sitting on the shelf for over a year and wanting a battery charge it remembered everything (although ti thought it was December 31 until I hooked it up to our new wifi).

But to go back to your point. If the goal is to have the people who use the roads (from the trucks carrying goods to the $100k electric cars), how do you charge everyone fairly. Gas make charging people for how long they drove on the roads easy. But electric cars are here and at some point they got to pay for use.

Sort of like a bumper sticker I read on the wall at a Barney's Beaniery 'Gas, grass, or ass- nobody rides for free.' Those roads got to get paid for somehow.

Only fools want to stay stagnant. Hopefully something happens as in four years of constant “infrastructure week” trump did nothing.

One group seems to still be open to bipartisanship. I’m guessing we disagree on which group that is.

Policy (action) is possible only when you look at the issues and work together on solutions.

Biden didn’t make bipartisanship happen due to his personality. Bipartisanship was prevented in the last administration due to a lack of willingness from one side to look at the issues instead of the personality of the executive branch at the time.

Kudos to those, who now are not in control of the executive branch, that are willing to take action and make policy in a bipartisan fashion by addressing the issues at hand.

A ‘do nothing congress’ doesn’t benefit the populace… Regardless of who holds the executive branch of government.

A detailed examination of the prior administration’s idea of “infrastructure” exposed a litany of tax breaks for private profit projects not the public projects we actually need. Some people are single minded.

 
I'm with Joe on this one. I don't care about people smoking pot... but I can understand why the IOC gets uptight and wants to take steps to ensure Olympic glory only falls on the shoulders of upstanding, drug-free athletes? 'Organic' athletes is a fundamental part of the product the world pays to watch the Olympics...

I'm trying to get my head around the politics of the infrastructure bill. I mean do moderates have the votes to pass an infrastructure bill without the socialists? Hmm...

As a moderate who thinks spending $3.5 trillion on human infrastructure is going to end up in a 'defund the police' disaster of unworkable wokeness... this is feeling like a very savvy move. Sure progressives might be able to leverage the twitter mob to muster the votes to kill the infrastructure bill. But hard to see how that move doesn't come back to haunt them when primary season rolls back around; as fundraising off your ability to gum up the works plays differently when your party is running things.

President Biden is taking a vacation right now. All I know is about $5,000,000,000,000 was just passed. Bridges & Roads and so much more. I hear Nancy is giving away raises and Mitch is looking to do some business with contractors. You have to be jabbed to bid on all this incredible opportunity.

It's time to roll up them sleeves and go get some of that money for many of you. $5 Trillion plus all the other Trillions last year. Do as I say and you can have access to the funds they say. Top 7 seven things you need to get straight in your little brain. #1, get jabbed as many times as we tell you. #2, wear a mask forever. #3, do not not support t or any of his followers and only support abortion and human trafficking and the jabs that come with them. #4, If you're white, kneel and ask for forgiveness if you haven't already. #5, STFU!!! #6, don't ever question us you Schmuck. #7, STFU some more and your freedom is no more.............. "if you take the money like Judus did"
 
When JB get's back from vacation, he will have a meeting with the new Afghani leadership. Look, a new pic of the Taliban and their new pals from China. 20 years ago I thought this and that, but I was so wrong about all that.

1. The eviction moratorium is technically an impeachable offense. If trump had defied the Supreme Court we’d be calling for his impeachment. But impeachment is no longer legal…it’s political.

2. i never supported nation building in Afghanistan. Bush bears a huge responsibility for creating the mess. Obama for doubling down on it. Trump for laying down the framework for leaving. But they way Biden has handled the withdrawal has been abysmal. His communication and going to camp David in the middle of this and waiting for at least 24 hours (maybe days) to say something is inexcusable.

back to no politics for me.
