Re: Top democrats refuse to clap and stand for fallen navy seal ryan owen

The good news is, no one shouted at or openly disrespected the President of The United State on National TV.

Do you know anyone has ever done that?

Re: Top democrats refuse to clap and stand for fallen navy seal ryan owen

This is weird because on my TV there was a huge standing ovation from Democrats for the widow.

And the GOP did the same under Obama. Only this time the Dems were respectful, unlike the GOP, in not yelling out "You lie" like the GOP did with Obama.

The OP is a LIE

Re: Top democrats refuse to clap and stand for fallen navy seal ryan owen

From the Guardian:

The only Democrat to stand with any frequency was Senator Joe Manchin, a moderate who is running for re-election in 2018 in West Virginia, a state where Trump had his strongest performance, winning nearly 70% of the vote.

Many Democrats did not even stand for a call for a major increase in infrastructure spending, something where Trump has long diverged with many in his own party. One Democrat urged others to stand as many Republicans sat awkwardly, eventually, tentatively, standing in support of their party’s leader. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...address-analysis-donald-trump-congress-speech

I don't know why they didn't stand for infrastructure spending. That's one thing that I'm completely behind Trump on.

A friend of mine blogged about that infrastructure project of Donnie's, and it might shed some light on the reticence of some to not get behind it.

Trillion dollar "Infrastructure" plan-Donald Trump's biggest scam ever

"Donald Trump is asking Congress for a trillion dollar infrastructure spending bill. Now, ordinarily this would be something Democrats can get behind, the country's infrastructure is falling apart, lots and lots of jobs associated with it, the type of government spending anyone can get behind.

That assumes of course, that the government is actually spending money on public works. This is where the Trump huckster instincts kick in.
Donald Trump has a long, well documented history of scams both large and small and a long trail of broken promises. If you look at his infrastructure proposal from fellow Russophile and newly minted Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross:

http://peternavarro.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/infrastructurereport.pdf

The Trump infrastructure scam soon becomes a naked attempt to loot the Treasury for private profits. Instead of "government provides funds for roads to be built that everybody gets to use", it's a tax credit scheme for privately controlled projects.

Cribbing from a Krugman example here and using the Ross/Trump proposal, lets say a billion dollars is going to be "spent" on building a highway. The private developers would have to come up with $200 million of equity and borrow $800 million, while getting an 82% tax credit on the total which means their total investment is actually $36 million. And the highway is now a privately owned toll road, at 18 cents on the dollar.

I don't think that is what people have in mind when they hear "government spending on infrastructure".

So, why would they do it this way? Because Donald Trump never met a scam he didn't like, and he surrounds himself with fellow hucksters who dream of schemes to transfer the Treasury to their own pockets. It's the most indirect method and you're creating an environment where corruption will be the main feature, not a blip. Under this scheme, who do you think might become involved in road building, bridge building, tunnels, anything that you can charge people to use that ordinarily would just be publicly financed infrastructure that is a benefit to everyone and every business. It's OK though, because Trump is hands off his company and has his sons Uday and Qusay Trump running it, no self dealing or cronyism there.

Another point is that this scheme can only be applied to infrastructure you can monetize. What about a dam, or cleaning up SuperFund site? Can't and won't happen.

Republicans in Congress are reluctant to sign on to the Trump plan, but I suspect it's only the dollar amounts that are a concern, not the naked and obvious scam that Trump & Co. are trying to pull. So, when you see Democrats start to push back against the largest fraud Trump has ever tried to pull, you'll have a better idea of why. Because its another Trump scam." -Saul Goodman

You might be so crazy about it once you learn of the plan to loot the treasury to give to big corps that will result in you paying tolls up the ying yang of ****ton of the roads and bridges you drive on.

Privatizing the roads like that has never really worked out well.

Re: Top democrats refuse to clap and stand for fallen navy seal ryan owen

Instead of making a video with Twitter comments and elevator music, it might have been a better idea to run the video, contemporaneously to the standing ovation, showing them seated. That screen shot could have been taken at any other time during the speech.

Unless there is something I'm missing in the youtube that time stamps their sitting at that moment?

It takes a special kind of stupid to view the world in a knee jerk reaction of being against one thing must make you blindly support the other position. And my friend you have shown how special you are.

You didn't address any of what I said just blah blah blahed into kindergarten logic of but they did it to so Nanny Nanny boo boo.

If you want to be adult an discus what I said then fine if not please be courtesy to those who want to have adult conversations and ignore the issues you don't understand.

They are so done and yesterday's news. It's scumbags like Wasserman-hyphen Idiot and Ellison that will bring that party down. I fully expect a new party to spring up. One much more moderate and more focused on American working families to counter the Republicans because the Dems are completely helpless now. They have been completely taken over by partisan hacks who cannot see the trees for the forest. Pelosi looked like a corpse made up in a coffin last night. How can anyone get excited about these losers?

That's what I thought when I clicked on it. I looked into this. It's not true. Thread title is a lie.

Most excellent. I agree 100%. But then one could not create a false impression which was the goal from the start.

You know, it's really easy to figure out what was up with dressing in white rather than casting aspersions. Google is your friend:

Democratic women wear white - CNNPolitics.com

Many of the 66 Democratic women representatives and delegates who make up the House Democratic Women's Working Group wore white clothing, dubbed "suffragette white" in a nod to the women's rights movement in the early 1900s, which encouraged its supporters to dress in white as a representation of purity....

The members are wearing white to show support for Planned Parenthood, affordable health care, reproductive rights, equal pay, paid leave, affordable child care and "lives free from fear and violence," the statement also said.
