Good for Joe Biden, for calling out Republicans who take credit for bills they voted against. Nobody could be any worse about it than Indiana Republicans. They go around the state bragging about Indiana receiving federal spending that every single one of them, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, voted against. Why would anybody vote for these charlatans?

Of course Indiana will tax student debt relief. They only have $6 billion in excess tax revenue in reserve. They cannot let the Democrats do something nice for their residents without a tax penalty. The overburdened and overcharged college students must pay.

I hope Indiana does not become as corrosive as some of those Deep South states, but it is starting down that path.

The state of Indiana is going to charge individuals income tax on the $10,000 student loan forgiveness program, treating it as income. That’s the Republicans looking out for you. They didn’t charge income tax on the Paycheck Protection Program that forgave millions of dollars in debts that businesses owed. Tell me some more about how the GOP really looks out for the middle class of this state.

Sarah Palin and several Republicans are having a fit because she lost the special election to the House. She keeps insisting the loss was unfair, but what she is overlooking is that the ranked-choice voting system worked exactly the way it was intended to work. The people of Alaska did not want her, and she is refusing to accept that. What is wrong with these Republicans that the simple concept of “No, you lost” is unacceptable to them?

Republicans are making crime a big issue for the midterms, and of course are blaming Democrats for it. Naturally, they couldn’t care less about the crimes committed by the de factor leader of the Republican party and his band of criminal brothers.

As a former resident of Georgia, I ask that you please don’t do this to the Senate of the United States of America. Republicans have Herschel Walker as their candidate. Please swallow your pride and don’t vote before this incompetent man.

At a recent campaign rally, Joe Biden responded to a heckler by saying “Everybody deserves to be an idiot”. The ironic thing is that Joe proves the truth of this every day of his administration.

Republicans are struggling with responding to questions regarding Trump’s mishandling of classified documents. They know Trump’s actions can result in an indictment. They attempt to ‘exonerate’ him by saying I hope they won’t convict a former president! Here is what they won’t respond to. In fact they walk away quickly when reporters ask the following: Should we allow Trump to operate above the law? Would you apply the same thinking to a Democratic president? They give reporters an angry look, and all of a sudden they must rush to their next meeting. They demonstrate that actions still speak louder than words!

Union members do not pay dues so that they can work hard. They pay dues so that they can get paid for hardly working. “pay for not work” is their battle cry! Been there!

Just cause Trump said he is the working man’s president doesn’t make it so. What did he ever do to help the working man? He stiffs people he hired to do work for him. He sent a plethora of average people to jail by sending them to the capitol on a lie about a stolen election. He packed the courts with judges who overturned Roe vs Wade. I have news for you, the only person he cares about is himself. How can there be so many gullible people who fall for his lies?
