OT: American Politics

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Comparing it to 2021 is kinda pointless because of COVID spending, but 75% of pre-Covid deficit is good. If you think debt matters at all at least.

Debt only matters to Republicans when the Democrats are in power. When the GOP is running things it's "Debt? What debt?"

I really, really struggle with how such a large number of Americans can look at members of the Republican party OVER AND OVER AND OVER say things that are absolutely abhorrent and continue to vote for them.

How can you look at family members and friends the same way? This isn't "political differences".

Think this part is exactly right. We've seen it countless times in hockey and other sports for other shitty behaviour.

I also think the "sportswashing" aspect of this all/Putin's love of hockey in particular is pretty lost on your average hockey fan, who let's face it, are mostly dumb (I don't think you all are dumb, I'm talking about your "sTRiP tHe C fRoM SuNDiN aNd GiVe iT to TiE" dummies).

I think the people who block LOF and deprive themselves of game threads are dumb.
