The FBI Admits It Used J6 to Demand BoA Customer Info on ALL Gun Purchases Without Warrant

I'm really ready for politicians to submit bills to disband the DOJ.

Biden Orders ‘Certain’ Military Reserves to Europe

So he doesn't want to move active troops into place. He decides to take reservists and activate them instead. And this is a good idea because.......? 

I'm not seeing any upside here.

It's not like he's mobilizing or anything, its just the reserves!

Pussy footing around.

If there was hard intel Putin was going to escalate, it's a stupid move.

If he is trying to send a message to Putin, it's a stupid move.

In the New News Normal, notice that there is not one word from someone who feels this change is a bad idea. So much for giving both sides of a topic.

Blatant vote buying.

Let's say for sake of an argument Biden could and should forgive debt.

Which would be a bigger boost to the economy.

Student loan debt or small business debt?

If economics was the driving factor we know which one is the answer.

The conclusion it is a political agenda not an economic one.

When the Supreme Court struck down Biden's original plan, it seemed the court was simply saying, "you can't do it that way. Now if you want to do it this way, we can't stop you." So they almost seemed to make a path for Biden to set this up.

Again: if places like New York were truly serious regarding "emissions," they would re-institute the wholly-electric buses that graced the streets of every major city in America for over half a century.  The "emissions" from electricity generation would be "scrubbed" at the generating plant; the bus would not have to be a "hybrid" that carried two propulsion systems (one internal-combustion, one highly-flammable electric battery, with double weight and both a needless increase in weight and a needless halving of pratical space). 

But none of these clowns know a thing about that.

Real problem-solving about emissions can't get in the way of the Progs' nocturnal emissions regarding "green" hoo-haw.

I'm not talking about "trolleys," if by "trolleys" you mean light-rail.  The electric-bus systems in places like Chicago, New York, and elsewhere were "trolley-buses," which ran on electricity from overhead wires, but on tires, not rails.

it takes relative minutes---in government time---to string, or re-string, overhead wires.  No need for laying rails.

That may be the problem for the progs. I've noted that new neighborhoods have all their utility lines buried--no telephones exist. Setting up overhead electrical lines is seen as visual pollution.

So "trolley" to you need not be some "light rail" nonsense. 

I agree; "trolley buses" are a supremely sensible alternative to internal-combustion public transport in an urban setting, but they are one which the "green" lunatics do not seem to be aware of.

We still have some of the overhead line powered buses (trolley) in Seattle.

Those make so much more sense than battery buses.

Agreed.  I tried to point this out to an idiot proggie who is now, alas, a state senator in NY, who was working the polls during our last state election.  He didn't want to hear it.  

Leftists are idiots.

When light rail for Seattle was being debated. Opponents of rail, using rails numbers showed dedicated bus lanes, some with overhead power could move more people, cheaper with much more flexibility. But no gotta have uber expensive toy trains.

If they passed such a law, Congresscritters would find a way to make an Enron end run around it.
