Durr #OrangeManBad. Because the Dem leadership is SOOOO competent, putting the climate farce, illegal aliens, and other leftist crap ahead of reeling US citizens within the coronavirus outbreak. Finally the Dem buffoons at the helm passes the biparasian relief package, but it's too late, because the Dems fraudulence has been exposed.

What has really been exposed:

Capitalism collapses in the absence of Socialism.
Republicans are fine with Socialism as long as they are the beneficiaries.
Republicans don't give a damn about deficits [not that most of us ever believed they did].
Democrats will do what is needed in a crisis, regardless of which party controls the White House. Republicans will only do so when they control the WH.   
Republicans don't give a damn about being 'pro-life' except to the extent they can exploit the issue for political gain.
Republicans will tolerate the naked emperor as long as they can personally profit from doing so.  Once that stops, they reign him in.

So true.  Where are all the GOP deficit hawks?
Why is this stimulus plan not socialism?  Is it only when another party is in power?
So tired of hearing about political gamesmanship from the experts in the same.

I think Newt Gingrich and the Republican controlled congress in the 1990s clearly cared about the deficit. It was the only time in my life there was a budget surplus. Certainly equal credit goes to the Clinton Administration, but bottom line is they did it. Additionally, many of the relief bills from the 2008 financial crisis were passed prior to Obama taking office.

That aside, I personally think both of your views on the "other" parties are bananas and I think the views of, "The other party is a giant POS" is a big part of the reason we are where we are in this world of partisanship.

You can easily find examples of people from both parties doing either idiotic things or morally questionable things.

Yikes, some thread y'all got here.
So, to the young people fighting in this movement for change, here is my charge: march in the streets, protest, run for school committee or city council or the state legislature. And win. - Ed Markey

May be time to shut this one down.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Sick and tire of what I have seen that last 12 years.

Socialism is the evil whipping boy, until all of a sudden the stock market tanks. Then its ok.
What happened to letting the marketplace work?  What happened to pulling yourself up by the bootstraps? 

Silly Sarah Palin yells about non-existent 'death panels' she somehow found in the ACA. Now, they are willing to let people die so the economy can 'get back to normal' sooner. The GOP successfully demonized and undermined the ACA for 12 years, to great political success. Then they gain complete control of government and do not even provide an alternative. They do the bare minimum to maintain it, because they now fear the consequences of full repeal. Meanwhile the ACA is the only thing allowing some people to get medical attention during a pandemic.

Democrats do the hard work of preventing a depression in 2009, while the GOP does nothing except throw stones at it. They use it as fodder to win back Congress and bitch about how much it cost.  BTW, 40% of that bailout was a PAYROLL TAX CUT for wage earners.
Fast forward to the 2020 crisis and now the GOP is in control of the government and they fault DEMOCRATS for not jumping on board to help. This bailout costs more than TWICE what the 2009 bailout did, yet not a word about that. Plus they try to create a 1/2 trillion dollar slush fund controlled by one man to appease their corporate donors.  If Democrats were like the Republicans of 2009, they would have not even voted for it all, yet they did because the country needs it.

If you don't like what I type, then tell what parts I got wrong. For the 'bothsideism' crowd, what it is that Democrats supported broadly last year or five years or 10 years ago, that they now don't, or vice versa?

Trump literally stated that he himself would provide the 'oversight' of the funds.  His own charity was shut down for breaking the law.

Please.
