There's a specific change I hope for. As a Christian I shouldn't hope for it but I think this nation as a whole would be better off. Surprised nobody has attempted yet.

 

[shortround]

That list only proves he is a puppet and someone (George Soros or someone/some group more sinister) is pulling his strings.

 

[PhulesAu]

Sorry you went to all of the trouble to post all of this useless information, as it will have NO effect on anything but peoples blood pressure.

 

[cbigclarke]

That's why I didn't read it. HA!

I win the internet!!

 

[Glockster69]

Me too Orbie, VERY!

 

[TX69]

IMPEACH!! He cant be impeached because he is half black.

 

[Orbie]

I'm thinking a little more interesting.

Do any of you ever make any effort to verify whether any of these things are true and who is responsible? Ever?

On the debt downgrade.

S&P has gone out of its way to point to the political brinkmanship over the debt ceiling as a key reason for the downgrade.
That puts the blame squarely on lawmakers -- and the political culture they cultivate and participate in.
"The first thing [lawmakers] could have done is to have raised the debt ceilng in a timely manner so that much of this debate had been avoided to begin with, as it had done 60 or 70 times since 1960 without that much debate," Chambers said.

I could have a full time job just researching this stuff that gets posted.

That's what we DON'T need to continue hearing. Everyone needs to knock off the impeachment shit. The Damnocrats are using that to their advantage in their fundraisers and they're getting MILLIONS of dollars because of it.

Impeachment is as useless as tits on a boar hog because it won't do diddly squat. Clinton was impeached but did anything happen to him? After impeachment, the prez has to be tried AND convicted in the Senate before the shit splatters on him. Clinton wasn't convicted. Andrew Johnson (the other president impeached) wasn't convicted. With the Damnocrats in charge of the Senate, there definitely won't be any trial.... not to mention the Race Card will be tossed around in FULL force!!!!

Yes yes yes we're all familiar with the history of what happened then. The point you neglected to make was that Standard and Poor's lowered our rating BECAUSE of Congress agreeing to raise the debt limit, not just that it was done so precipitously. I quote:

Standard & Poor’s downgraded the U.S.’s AAA credit rating for the first time, slamming the nation’s political process and criticizing lawmakers for failing to cut spending or raise revenue enough to reduce record budget deficits.

Biden certainly is not the brightest bulb but don't think he is an America hater which could be an improvement for 2 years.

This is not 100% true. Obummer proposed that the government bill the veterans' insurance companies for treatment related to combat injuries. This was in an effort to save a half billion per year in costs incurred. The quotes you read were from a satire piece by John Semmens (John Semmens188). Obummer didn't actually say those words...

Listen, I think it was insensitive and downright stupid of Obummer and his administration for even proposing the law. It would have made it more difficult for soldiers to keep and maintain affordable medical insurance if they had combat-related injuries. To put our men and women in harms way then make it difficult for them to get the medical attention they deserve is downright unpatriotic and heartless. However, I wanted to set the record straight about this particular topic (but it certainly doesn't change my opinion about his historic failure as the Commander-in-Chief)...

I haven't looked into the other topics listed by the OP. This one just hit me pretty hard and I wanted to find out for myself.
