Four months ago, after weeks of intense negotiation between my staff and Democrats and Republicans, we came to a clear — clear bipartisan deal that was the strongest border security agreement in decades. But then Republicans in Congress — not all, but — walked away from it. Why? Because Donald Trump told them to. He told...
The Biden Administration’s robust and durable track record on jobs and unemployment is breaking records, putting up some of the best results we’ve seen in half a century.
What propaganda outlet is “moneywise”? There is no recession despite the clueless media predicting one every day for the last 4 years. Jobs keep getting blowout numbers month after month after month. Wages rose a 3% annual rate last month. Stock market is all time high despite Biden increasing minimum tax rate on corporations to reduce the national debt. Inflation adjusted wages for low wage workers increased by 12% under Biden. The inflation rate under Biden has been consistently lower than the OECD average.
You may have noticed a distinct lack of return2ozma. This is due to their admitting, in a public comment, that their engagement here is in bad faith:...
The great thing about the Fediverse is that a single mod or admin cannot permanently block a user, but if necessary multiple people (mods and admins) can cooperate to block a user.
We don’t accept articles from Fox News or Newsmax for the same reason, it’s clear they have an axe to grind.
That seems a little strong, even though they are shit sources. I don’t want right wing views censored because I want a chance to tell everyone how wrong they are.
[if ALL you’re posting is negative, you may want to re-think your priorities. ]
It’s okay to do that about a specific politician if that is your true opinion. However, it does seem like this person was arguing in bad faith by admitting he is aware things are not as bad as his posts seem.
The same values that are used as justification by the two parties to invade/intervene in any country that has something that interests the US?
No. That that is almost never the US justification for war. But yes, saving South Korea from being ruled by the North Korean dictator was a great thing.
And seriously, what democracy? In which you “elect” the president in an indirect system that does not necessarily elect the most voted by the people?
So that is the same as “fascism”. GTFO with that ridiculous nonsense.
I call this a joke of a democracy.
Because you are not comparing it with the absence of democracy, You are comparing it with a perfect democracy. The absence of a perfect democracy is not a “joke”, it is the difference between fascism and non-fascism.
Reunification can only happen after China gains the ability to chose its own leaders. Otherwise the Chinese leaders can never be trusted. When the reunification happens, I think that Taipei should be the capital of China for the first 10 years or so since that is where the experience in democracy is located.
If this can happen to Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump, then it can happen to anybody who pays hush money to a porn star while running for president!!!
Maybe this election we can have real change towards neofascism so there won’t even be a next election. Change is always good right? Oh, you wanted to have positive change? The indispensible prerequisite for that to happen is for the GOP to lose.
And now, when the Dem party is running a candidate further than the right than Dem voters want…
The party is running exactly the candidate that the majority of voters want. The “party” picks the candidate only in the sense that the party is the primary voters. To pretend this is not how it works is Trumpian level bullshit.
We were at 5% or 6% in this district, in this area.
You mean the same district that elected Rudy Ghouliani for mayor?
This was a rigged, disgraceful trial.
Rigged how? Is Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump alleging that the 12 random jurers were secretly preselected even though his own lawyer helped select the jury? How come he is giving zero details? Because there are no details to give. Literally every court case and election that Loser Trump loses is “rigged” because his one and only strategy on everything is “Lie, Lie, Lie”.
Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump is the most hated politician in America. He is the “most corrupt president in history”, according to Bernie Sanders, and “the worst president in history”, according to a presidential rating of hundreds of historians.
Reminder that Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump’s Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.
…audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.
Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]
STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.
He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.
Ben Carson’s remarks about whether he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election regardless of which party wins falls in line with a recent Republican trend that’s causing a stir among social media users....

The con that Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump is running depends on never talking about specifics. That applies to everything, not just his Start the Steal conspiracy. Every politician besides himself is “corrupt” or “crooked”. No specific details ever given. Even though Bernie Sanders correctly says Trump himself was the most corrupt president in American history. The election was “stolen”. No specific details ever given that have not been completely debunked in courts.
I voted for Sanders in the primary (twice). But nobody should compare Biden with Sanders, we should compare Biden with other presidents who were able to get elected and achieve progress. Biden was the best president of the past 50 years. If you disagree, name a president who was better. If you are looking for a hard-core Biden supporter, I am raising my hand as an extremely proud one.
They’ve been counting DNC money as Biden’s for months…
They will use some of the money for the Biden campaign. So what?
They’re coordinating that way to get around donation limits.
It’s part of a larger general problem that organizations (such as corporations) can contribute to campaigns, and every time that happens it gets around individual donation limits. And even worse than that is PAC spending. It is hardly a problem specific to the DNC.
Maybe that’s why not enough people are pissed off?
What is there to be “pissed off” about? It’s worked that way for 100 years…
And the head of the DNC is Jamie Harrison, the guy Biden picked…
And the head of the RNC is Lara Trump who is using their funds to pay Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump’s LEGAL BILLS.
[“There is no comparison,” DNC spokesman Alex Floyd said. “The DNC does not spend a single penny of grassroots donors’ money on legal bills, unlike Donald Trump, who actively solicits legal fees from his supporters and has drawn down every bank account he can get his hands on like a personal piggy bank.”]
You think a party shouldn’t pay the candidates legal bills?
No I don’t. But even in the case of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump, I kind of like that his legal expenses are harming his supporters more then helping Treason Trump. So I’m not even sure if I’m mad about that.
The only people giving him money are the wealthiest
F*cking Bullshit. 90% of Biden’s donors give less than $200. I am planning to give Biden money. I’m not the “wealthiest”. And what I plan to get back for my money is the continuation of democracy.
Like, did you even notice the “no grass roots” part?
Like, did you even notice that you just made up some bullshit? 90% of Biden’s donors give less than $200.
This is great news since it officially establishes that Johnson has a dependency on Democrats now. Which gives Dems more leverage because if Johnson refuses to cooperate on something in the future than Dems could bring a motion to vacate the chair.

Republicans want accountability about all the money
How idiotic can you get?? The accountability is that Ukraine will lose their country and their lives to Putin’s Evil Empire if they lose the war. So stop with the nonsense.
Remember that guy George Bush that you voted for? When he sent $8 billion in US currency to Iraq that was instantly stolen, did you or any other Republican raise a finger? NOPE.
Keep in mind that Ukraine was once considered one of the most corrupt countries on the planet
Nope. Russia is considered 10x more corrupt. Ukraine is somewhere near the median of 200 countries.
