I wonder how many times that the $750 is not the only money they will be getting. This is to deal with immediate needs while other money is made available.

In times of crisis, I’d say it’s more important for leaders to know what to do, and according to the Republican governors in all 4 states bordering NC, the Biden administration’s response has been great. Same with Gov Cooper, but he’s a Dem, so you’ve already tuned out everything he says.

We have enough money to do all of it (at least on credit). It’s not an either/or proposition. And $ doesn’t actually fix everything. The idea that Biden & Harris are taking $ away from WNC to give away frivolously is dumber than you, mac, accuse them of being.

Yesterday you said there are 2 kinds of people: Americans and Democrats… and you think that absolves you of being a partisan hack.

Wow ... I'll see if I can get it changed.

Timo is right, I think -- I don't see anywhere that I can manually fix that. Imagine Brian would've fixed it if he'd had the power to do so.

To elaborate, almost all people, of all political stripes, take pride in their work. Any one of us who is honest can point to numerous coworkers we’ve had whom we’ve respected professionally, maybe even liked as friends, yet who’ve had very different political views. I know that’s true for me, and if it isn’t true for you, I think it’s your ignorance and blindness.

Why, then, would y’all act like professional integrity is something that divides us?

I agree on that last part. Well, that and the Electoral College.

It’s important to note that these historians are scholars, and that they conduct their work with academic integrity. The right has fomented suspicion about academia because it helps them with low info voters.

Y’all are fools to think that so much of academia and so much of the media sacrifice all integrity for being on the ground floor of a political party. There’s bias everywhere, and liberals are far better at being aware of their own, checking their own, and turning to things like peer review.

In times of crisis, leaders know what to say. Biden and Kamala aren't leaders, and we've all seen them in action. Again, it's the fact that she gave the amount she did (which was low too), considering the devastation these people have suffered. And when you add in the amount of money our government has thrown to help non Americans, and other countries... well, you may as well have told the residents of the mountains of NC they are second rate people by the offer of $750.

This is obvious to see. You just have to be openminded, and quit doing what you've always done, which is play party politics.

I don’t even know exactly what you do. Just like you don’t know anything about what I do.

I’ve thrown down the gauntlet here about public education and nobody has even attempted to challenge me on anything substantive. Just cheap shots that don’t phase me at all.

Funny thing is, none of my people are on probation. And there is probably a good percentage of your people who end up there because of how shitty public school is because of people like you.

Could have been Matt. Heres my thing Winslow was a sf but you are right he did hold most teams pf’s but we can agree how many Freshman had his physical attributes at athleticism and if he wasn’t or first best Defender on the team he was second . His strength and athleticism allowed him to guard bigger players .

Liberals dominate the ranks of “historians” so if you weed out all the Republicans, voila, upper half He’ll be remembered for speeding up one party rule with his open border fiasco. If the demographics of this country were that of just twenty years ago, Trump would win easily The only thing that gives Republicans a chance in natl elections going forward is the sheer incompetence of the Dem Party

If Winslow didn't play the 4, then one of Matt Jones, Quinn Cook, or Tyus Jones did. Those are the other starters outside of Winslow and Okafor. This is a weird hill to die on.

Easy explanations: some things require Congressional approval and some things don’t; there’s money in different pots; people in this very thread have been mocking the $750 figure, so why would $ alone be the end-all, be-all?

You act as if “evidence” you present is completely objective. It isn’t. It’s all spun. I haven’t seen you post something objective and discuss it objectively this entire administration.

Scholars consistently rank President Biden in the upper half of US Presidents. That’s surprisingly high to me, but it’s what scholars and historians — not partisan pundits — say. You’ve been saying since his first year in office that he was by far the worst ever ever ever and it wasn’t even close. So Presidents Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Pierce, WH Harrison, Hoover, Harding, Nixon… not even close?!?

You’re a complete joke.
