    The only problem for you is they tend to be more informed and are far more likely to understand that Biden can't just run around the Constitution and decide that he can give away a massive amount of money without going through Congress first.

    If you have an argument or a gripe about it I suggest you take it up with the Constitution because that's what limited the action

    Do you have a problem with the Constitution interfering with biden's agenda?

    The increase in crime was in 4th place in the exit polls all political orientations taken together..

    After the MAGA attacks on democracy, inflation and abortion.

    Proof that FOX manufactures issues for political expediency.

    Maybe Biden/Democrats can offer to just send every American a $25K check to try to buy more votes

    Is there a plan to eliminate all Federal student loans offerings for going forward? If paying it back is not to be required, then ZERO tax dollars should be used for new loans

    doesn't matter, if Republicans are the ones that stop it, they get the blame

    Republicans had no issue with Faith Based Initiatives, giving some church's millions of dollars

    I think you're wrong and people understand more about the basic function of the government and Constitution then you think

    So we're finally admitting that mainstream news networks are openly bias and selectively publish news to push particular agendas rather than simply reporting raw factual news like they should be doing?

    This isn't unique to Fox News by any means and this is exactly why Americans' trust in the mainstream media is at near record lows.

    what policy is that?

    inheriting Covid and a worldwide supply issue from the Previous President?

    not to mention the FED dumped trillions and trillions into the economy under Trump and is raising rates under Biden

    seems the FED policies changed, maybe that is what you mean?

    The buck stops with him. His war on gas and oil is a major driver of inflation.

    He and his cronies are hurting every American and they will remember that.

    what war is that, that happened under Trump, and continues under Biden, Big Oil has always controlled supply

    big oil is artificially reducing supply, that is on big oil, not Trump or Biden

    but Big Oil loves that we blame each other rather than them

    unless you want Biden to ban all exports and start the government drilling for oil, then it's a private sector issue

    And the Walmart mass murderer did it with a hand gun and no rifle of any kind, another reason it’s fast becoming a non story

    Had it been a conservative analysis of a mainstream news media story from the opposite perspective, it would have been moved long ago.

    Nothing like the federal government taking money from blue collar trades people and factory workers and giving it to young urban post graduate professionals at the beginning of their careers.

    Nothing like the federal government taking money from working class and giving it to the corps and the church

    the working class taxpayers loved paying Trump to Golf

    Trump spent more than any other President had in 4 years, where did all that money go?

    I specifically use the mention function to draw your attention to a thread the other day detailing the Biden administration's latest assault on gas and oil.

    Funny I did not see you show up in that thread. But it's really not funny because you want to blame Trump so you will avoid any thread detailing biden's hostility to gas and oil like the plague.

    post a link to it, I obviously missed the right trying to blame Biden for what Big oil is doing - doesn't supprise me though

    big oil loves us blaming each other while they screw us over

    Yup not nope. How could the Republicans possibly do that? They aren't even in office yet until January. lol.

    The instant Biden announced the Student Loan bailout I understood it for what it was. An attempt to garner the votes of young naive students. I even posted about it on the day it was announced, as did many in the media. It was never going to materialize and no "fight" was necessary as it didn't even need to be adjudicated. The SCOTUS has already ruled on it regarding previous attempts to use Executive Orders to circumvent the "power of the purse" given to the House of Representatives. It was well timed to ensure the SCOTUS wouldn't be able to FURTHER formally repeat itself regarding the earlier rulings prior to the election, which clearly applied to this vain attempt. Young students are just so clueless and naive about our Constitution. It was just too easy to resist such an obvious ploy to garner the young student voters. They really haven't enjoyed a decent education regarding civics. Funny thing was it actually backfired on them. They likely lost more votes than they gained. However, it did provide another purpose... to camouflage the peculiarity in the student ID mail-in ballot results in Georgia.

    Fox News used the mid term election to make everyone one aware for the increased crime. Democrats did not embrace this effort because they believed talking about it would hurt them. Now that the elect is over and the Democrats are now talking about crime I'd say Fox News did a fantastic job in bringing the crime issue front and center.
