Seriously, Are Any Dems/Libs Here Embarrassed that Most Dems Would Not Stand to Honor the 13-year-old Boy Battling Cancer During the SOTU?

[DigitalDrifter]

Actually, we spend far more on handouts to the Middle Class (Close to 3 Trillion) than we do on poverty relief to the poor (less than half a trillion).



Wow, so by that logic, the US is probably doomed, because 60% of us live in poverty.



Wow, so wrong on everything.

Here's why the USSR fell. Same reason the British Empire fell. Eventually, it's constituent nations wanted independence and thought they could do better on their own.

60% of Americans DO NOT live in poverty. That is an insane figure, and you know that is not correct.

60% of the population controls less than 5% of the wealth. That's poverty, guy.

How else would you define that, guy?

The bottom 40% control less than 1% of the wealth. The middle 20% controls less than 4% of the wealth.

That's poverty by any definition, even if you have a nice TV and a few luxuries, you are still only a few missed paychecks from being on the street.

what others have has zero to do with whether a person is at poverty level.

Speak for yourself, loser. Learn how to manage money.

I'm doing fine. I would probably be in the second highest quintile. Which means it would take a major illness to put me in trouble.

Most people are just a pay check away from living in a cardboard box.

Cool NARRATIVE, delivered with arrogance.

There are many types of cancer.

I don't recall Quid Pro Joe being specific about which type he cured.

Here's a better question. Are Trump's ideas so shitty that he needs to put a cancer survivor out there to shield himself from criticisms?

People are already seeing the effects of his stupidity. Maybe someone in their lives is a government employee. Maybe they are seeing prices aren't going down. Maybe they work for a company where they are rumbling about layoffs because supply chain has become so unreliable.

TRUMP! pulled off a master class in setting up the democrats for really, really bad optics, and at the end of the day, that's what this was, bad optics. You can dance, twist, throw dust in the air, anything you want, but it just plain looked bad for them. He knew exactly what they were planning to do, he even told them what they would do, then proceeded to put them in the position of publicly ignoring this kid. That's advanced politics.

I mean, really, how blindly partisan and unfeeling do you have to be to refuse to join Trump in honoring D. J. Daniel, the 13-year-old boy who is battling cancer and who was given honorary Secret Service agent status by Trump during the SOTU address? I'm sure many of us have seen the viral videos of congressional Dems sitting, and even frowning and shaking their heads, during the standing ovation given to the young boy. Unreal.

I'm glad that some Democrats, such as Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), have condemned the disgraceful conduct of their fellow congressional Dems. Fetterman called it "unhinged petulance." Imagine if Republicans had refused to stand to honor a 13-year-old girl battling cancer who was honored by Biden with honorary teacher status in a SOTU address? I would join with Dems in condemning such rude, extreme partisan conduct.

Are there are Dems/liberals here who are willing to condemn this sorry display of extreme partisanship? Just one?

Rabid partisans such as Rachel Maddow actually criticized the honoring of D.J. Daniel.

President Trump knocked it out of the park.

The Dems on the other hand, looked like total dunces.

It reminds me of the black knight in the Monty Python movie, "Tis but a flesh wound".

/---/ The Left kept their poverty base by ever increasing the poverty level. And there was always a need for liberalism.

Yet we live in the only country where that's a regular thing.

62% of bankruptcies are linked to Medical Crisis, and 75% of them had insurance when the crisis started.

I'm just trying to keep my wife and myself healthy until we can get on Medicare.

I thought Trump was ending that?

I don't either you should ask him.
