    They must have an article about how your political hero accepted help in an election from Russia, then.

    Because that is what the Republican Senate Intelligence Committee determined.

    Entered to laugh at complaint thread from: dude who voted for a guy who told him he'd build a 1500 mile border wall, and that Mexico would pay for it.

    Leaving satisfied.

    I doubt the OP wants to actually have a serious discussion about her promise, but here is a little hint.
    Don't start with a source that is known to suck and that only appeals to people seeking comfort in an ignorant and racist echo chamber. It's is very easy to post a source on the 3 million home promise that actually can be trusted and doesn't have the maga slant.
    Now, given the OP history of threads, I doubt he wants any kind of discussion, but just in case:

    There have been 70,000 charging stations built in the US since 2020, almost doubling the number…..

    Can you comment on the topic at hand or just refer back to your anti-Trump schtick?

    One trick pony.

    How many were directly due to the “infrastructure” bill.

    Another poster posted 3 links that seem to bolster the claim that the federal “help” hasn’t done much.

    Meanwhile my side of the aisle is still attached to this clown:

    Trump promised he would not play golf. (True story)

    He promised he would build a better health care system.

    He promised to build some wall,

    He promised 4 point per year economic growth.

    He promised to hire "only the best people" then ripped them to shreds publicly after firing them.

    He promised to reduce drug costs.

    He promised to revive the coal industry and increase jobs there.

    Trump rewrote the book on political broken promises. I'll come back when conservatives stop supporting the empty, shallow, blowhard who does nothing but stuff honey in their ears.

    • Ionna charging network, announced Friday, will be a U.S. network similar to an already successful European network called Ionity.
    • Seven automakers are involved in the plan, claiming they are set to have 30,000 charging stations up and running by decade's end.
    • Stations will use CCS or Tesla's North American Charging Standard and will work with the brands' own payment apps and route planning setups.

    I have faith in America. We got snowed with "Biden is sharper than ever". We've had enough of the lies.

    She offered a tax incentive to home builders. That is the high-level proposal. Either you believe tax incentives work or we should wipe them all out like mortgage deductions, retirement savings exemptions, etc. They have been proven to work to drive behavior.

    Her plan calls for a series of tax incentives and other measures to encourage building homes for first-time homebuyers and the $25,000 credit for such buyers. Harris also aims to expand rental assistance, ban rental price-fixing and stop Wall Street firms from buying homes in bulk.

    All single family homes should be owned by individuals not businesses. Point blank. Easy law to pass and would go a long way in helping. There's zero reason wall street or hedge funds should own homes.

    I know, right... "You can keep your health care insurance with the ACA..."

    "You can keep your doctors..." "You can keep your coverage..." "The average price of health insurance will go down $2,500/ year..."
    So many promises... nothing more than lies.

    Building 3 million homes is a promise she knows she cannot keep.

    This is how we become the next Venezuela. Health care? Check. Taking your guns? (can't wait for Camela to talk to us about gun control) Suppressing free speech? Openly being asked for in White House press briefings. Price controls? Check. Housing? Check. Forcing parents to allow doctors to administer puberty blockers to their kids or else lose parental rights? Check.

    Some people don't realize how close we are to losing it all. Everything we loved as Americans, it's one or two steps away from going up in flames if the right people get into office. Thank the lord President Trump put three justices on the SCOTUS with some common sense.

    You laughed at my accurate post above. Well how about this post:

    The federal government builds thousands of homes by proxy by funding and through grants for organizations like mine.

    Guess who attempted to eliminated every penny in his final budget?

    Every. Single. Penny.

    You guessed it. The orange dude.

    Its sorta a silly number anyway. Many estimates say just 1.5 million would solve the problem.

    Political grandstanding and sound bytes mean more than actually doing anything.

    Some of those items Trump actually followed through on, but it’s not news that politicians lie and fail to follow through on policy proposals for a variety of reasons. That said, one side is trying to transform the country into a “politically correct” socialist state and the other (Trump) is cool with allowing us to keep our freedoms. And that’s what it all boils down to for me. More big government control is less in my book. Which side do you feel safest with?
