So just curious, who all in general do you prefer to be executed?
You don't have to name them all of course (or you don't have to answer at all obviously if you don't want to). Just give me a top five that you would like to see assassinated. Or is it just republicans in general that you want eradicated? And what about republican voters? Should they be punished for their votes and if so how harshly?
I'm genuinely curious and fascinated -- I just want a peak into the mind of a person who feels so strongly about their politics that they wish death upon those who oppose them.

Not true at all.

By the way, the extra $300/week federal unemployment is NOT retroactive. That means everyone whose unemployment claim ends this week are screwed out of it. That's almost everyone who filed an unemployment claim in March. I think the politicians waited to vote on this so late blatantly as a slap in the face to all of the early unemployment benefits collectors
Also not true as that's not what retroactive means. Those on PUA which ends this week and those who've exhausted the state benefits that end this week will get an 11 week extension.

Somebody second amendment that republican bitch.
I heard Egypt got $1.3 billion. Sudan $700 million/Israel $500 million/Ukraine $435 mill/Nepal $130 mill/Burma $135 mill/Camodia $85.5 mill/Pakistan $25 mill.
I also heard $26 million went to the Kennedy Center. $1 billion went to The Smithsonian. $154 million to the National Art Gallery. $14 million to the W Wilson Center. $600 dollars to US citizen taxpayers

Kryptos you are very dishonest to hang this pork on the republicans, this was bipartisian across the board.
The bill also makes illegal streaming a felony.

But each chamber's decisions are all or nothing, not proportions.
If anything, the Presidency is less all or nothing because he sometimes gets reined in by his advisors and changes his mind.

To little to late. The 80's and 90's taught Americans to become consumers and climaxed in the early 2000's. The party is at an end but the cultural mindset lives on.
Nothing like a fifty inch flat screen to keep a person entertained while they loose there land though.

Purple pig eh? Dems had their bill what, 6? 7? months ago? What we're seeing now are the results of concessions to get the Repubs to vote for the thing.
