it is Iowa, they are racist scumbags there, every red state is basically KKK. those white punks should be in jail now, what will happen is a slap on the wrist at most.
refugee from X cesspool. hopefully a surviving witness to Trumpocalypse 2.0. I block MAGA, if you voted for Trump you have nothing intelligent to say and I have no desire to waste a moment of time engaging with you. I don't care if it bothers you.

this sucks, the wrong color died, rather it have been the Orange one.
The Constitution Article I, Section 8 The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
turning DC into an armed camp where business activity at restaurants and other places is way down. you can reduce crime by eliminating freedom, is that what we want?
long term RFK Jr. will let plagues run out of control thereby reducing our population, and Trump will deport as many people as well, even if they are here legally. reduce demand by crashing economy and killing millions will tackle high housing costs.
ISWYDT (I see what you did there)
wrong, he is 79. his birthday was June 14, 1946 which makes him 79 now.
one last thing, you fool, a false equivocation is a logical fallacy that occurs when a word or phrase with multiple meanings is used in a way that shifts between those meanings within an argument, leading to an unsound conclusion. you meant FALSE EQUIVALENCE (which it also isn't) you are too easy
I looked at your feed, so you are basically a right wing weirdo troll. you might be right about communism but you went over the edge to outright racism. and you don't even know the meaning of equivocation I am laughing at your insignificance. now I will mute you as you are terrible at posting.
woke leftie...lol. tell me you are an imbecile without outright telling me. I am NO LEFTIE, I believe in the principles of Subsidiarity, am against tariffs, support Ukraine against Russian imperialism, I believe far more in states rights (ie things like death penalty, abortion, pot, etc.)
Trump is deranged, people freaked out about his saying Greenland will be US, then Canada would be, then Panama canal, now Gaza. the biggest problem with what you are saying is it distracts from the horrors going on NOW. this is like saying if it isn't genocide then it isn't as bad as it could be
nothing is impossible, but these 2 million will be in plain view of the world's cameras. Trump is seriously ill, he won't be around much longer. Half of Israel recently protested against Netanyahu and to murder 2 million people would mean thousands of soldiers would have to slaughter children.
are you seriously suggesting they will start to commit mass genocide of 2 million people in full view of the entire world? that isn't something that can be hidden. yes, they have killed far too many people as it is but that is 4%. Netanyahu can't rely on GOP being in power forever.
we are talking about it, and it won't happen. there are 2 million people there, where the hell does he imagine they will go? it would be a war crime, anyone involved in it would be subject to arrest by the Hague. And Trump is very ill, he has heart failure, he is on diuretics daily. he is a mess.
the farmer lost maybe a dozen or so pieces of corn from all the kids of our age in our neighborhood as we only did it around Halloween (mischief night). no idea if the farmer was annoyed but I doubt it as farm was huge this was the early 70s so our parents had no idea what we were up to.
i used to do that back in the 70s when I was that age and younger, that and tic-tacking, which consisted of throwing kernels of feed corn we stole from a local farm at houses. the cornfield has been replaced by housing, which thank God as kids nowadays would get shot by farmer or homeowners.
my niece went to Veterinary school in nearby St. Kitts (same country) and is now a Vet. she had a lot of issues during her first years in college (friend dying of cancer, etc.) so her grades were not good enough for US, but she is a very successful Vet now, she loved St. Kitts.
Trump is obviously very ill, far sicker than Biden was at that age, and his Doctors knew it before the election. This is FDR 1944 redux without a Truman in reserve. Even with Truman America got lucky. JD Vance has far less experience than Truman had and is surrounded by whackjobs.
which is a "gotcha" being a deranged hypocrite. In any event, who cares how you classify it? Trumpanzees are just overall totally vile cretins. when Herman Cain got covid his posts on his thread continued as though he were fine, then he was dead. I was shocked and saddened but also miffed. Why lie?
assertion is not argumentation. it, of course, is a "gotcha" post as it shows her hypocrisy.
Trump hasn't gotten it up for 10 years, this is why there were no sex scandals regarding him in the White House in his first term or now.
she is 18
yeah, what is likely to happen is AI would read it and write it, maybe they should make a rule that you have to be tested on the report you made and the book itself.
oh come on, don't be such a tease, if I were impotent the thought of this would give me a woody, as it is the only remedy is to picture Trump's fat face which would make any man limp.
they said of Bolton he was the type to punch down and kiss up, kissing up worked for someone like GWB whose broad policy goals were the same, not so well for a whackjob like Trump. all that said this is all utterly irrelevant to what Trump is now doing, which is political persecution
huh? this is talking about the theory of cascade failure, it is not kvetching, and it comes from the author of The Expanse, not Bill Kristol.
lol...I am good with faces, names I get mixed up all the time. it took me years before I got Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper's names right because to me Ryan Reynolds looks like a Bradley and Bradley looks more like a Ryan.
no, I get that. I am just laying out the reality that this guy who sounds like a bomb throwing radical was campaign manager for Mitt Romney. And yes, I do think Trump will just impound the money, in which case things will get really crazy. how SCOTUS rules on tariffs will tell us the future
jfc, this is the guy who ran the Mitt Romney campaign??? I am sure Trump would simply ignore the House and impound the money from the Treasury.
i know who he is as I watched Firefly but I don't think that is from that show as that was a sci-fi show and he looks a little bit older in that gif than he was when that was on. I could be wrong but his clothes and background don't fit with that show.
i've seen that tons of times, do you know what movie or show that is from?
Trump can't read the room since he stuffed the room full of sycophants. and when you tell the leader every decision he makes is perfect AND the leader is suffering from dementia you get wild swings and incoherency. and the parts they are consistent on like deportations, they are being fascist
good thread, the Chinese have a term "mandate of heaven" the essential lesson is you only had the mandate if you governed wisely and effectively because if you didn't you'd lose the mandate and be overthrown (or have natural disasters befall you) this lot can't govern effectively, it is reactionism
MAGA is old, Trump even older. there will be a reaction against these reactionaries. for educated people in China during the Cultural Revolution it must have seemed that nightmare would never end. it did. MAGAts will learn "owning the libs" won't lower inflation, give them raises, pay for healthcare
yes, I understand and I don't want to give the impression I am bigoted against white boomers, 40% of them (or something around there) voted for Harris. the tragic thing is I have many relatives and friends who voted for Trump, personally they are good people but politically stupid AF.
there have been many leaders who were privileged and yet who did all they could to make people's lives better. none were perfect, I am sure ego had its part to play but people like Bill Gates is giving away the vast majority of his wealth. yes, he is flawed but Trump is only flaws, nothing more
people make mistakes, and we can disagree about what is the best policy, but for pigmen like Trump the cruelty is the point. he has not one redeeming quality. he is the nadir of humanity, like Putin, Hitler, Mao, etc. they are sociopaths all; fundamentally defective people. I can forgive a lot
I get skin color doesn't make you an asshole, privilege does but the reality is in America the reality of being white has made many people into horrible assholes. I don't agree it is because we are human that we are though as we have free will and the ability to reason. being horrible is a choice
the US is only 58% non-Hispanic white. this is why they are so desperate to end birthright citizenship and kick out millions of non-white people, but even then white fertility rate is below 1.6, well below replacement rate. all minorities except Asians.Native Americans have higher than whites.
Limbaugh, Gingrich, Trump all benefited by these historical trends and amplified them and made them worse but it is the white trash America that is responsible for this. but countervailing forces will destroy them and they know it. in Texas 2/3rds of those over 65 are white, only 1/3 under 18 is
I don't think white southern men have ever acknowledged the truth, that they are racist, backward morons. history created yellow dog Democrats but it wasn't due to any wisdom. the aging and death of FDR Democrats replaced by weak, entitled white trash personified by Trump.
Nixon's southern strategy worked with electoral college politics. Reagan and GHWB were constrained by a Dem House majority though tons of what we lated called blue dogs defected on individual policies. stupid white Southerners voted Dem based on history, now they are all GOP.
i think it had more to do with the white south finally abandoning the Dem party and they did that in 1994. Gingrich was the beneficiary of that reaction not the cause. add to that the death of unions in the north and you got a GOP majority. old union workers died off replaced by blue collar nonunion
the Gingrich revolution is far more related to Congress and using the levers of power there to extract things from the Executive. and at the state level that required radical gerrymandering. again, Dems could have destroyed Trump from 2021 and Garland messed up
what you are talking about is related to the foundation of GOP as white southerners and rural racists in the rest of the country, these reactionaries have always been with us. Again, none of this would have been possible if nearly 50% of Americans were not braindead shitheads.
look, those aspects long existed beforehand. look at Taft in 1946 when they won the House, Truman ran against Taft's radicalism then. Goldwater got destroyed by Johnson and Goldwater was far saner than Trump is. I don't know if anyone could have predicted 50% of Americans are braindead shitheads.
Trump lost by 7 million votes in 2020. and we had the chance to lock his fat ass up and he would have deteriorated in jail. Garland totally screwed us. Dems totally failed in 2021. at worst another GOP would have won in 2024, it would be bad but nowhere near this bad.
but that was also true and the basis of the spoils system. I don't think a Trump could have existed before now as back then white people were far higher a percentage of US population. this is entirely a reaction based on white trash racism, how or why any minorities voted for Trump is beyond me
i don't disagree with your initial point about cavalry charges, etc. but just writing I agree with that is not a discussion. I am only determined that Cankles lose and he will lose. his skin is mottled like an end stager. he was desperate to cover that up. when a cult leader dies a cult loses focus
in a sense we are lucky that a competent Trump could have existed, Cankles will be mentally done by 2028, his dementia will be late stage. Again, I blame Garland and the feckless Dems in Justice Department and so many stupid people not taking what Trump was saying publicly. we are an idiocracy.
the past 25 years aren't relevant as we were only against Reagan/Bush type reaction, not full on Trump fascism. I am saying the GOP is burning down the country but they have no idea that they are because they are truly stupid effing people.
this shite has always been with us. House had a committee called the Un American committee. Trump should have been in jail after his actions on 1/6 and his stealing documents. Garland totally screwed America, Dems were weak ass pussies. Again though Trump is 79 and very ill.
my only real disagreement with you is this notion that the trend has been towards Trumpism but Dems have screwed up so many times. Garland should have locked his fat ass up for insurrection and according to the Unitary Executive theory this would have been legal. We effed up big time.
again, this is not new. i mean we used to have slavery, we locked up Japanese American citizens based on nothing more than their race. we had segregation. these are the last battle of the Civil War, fat pieces of shit like Trump are trying to redo history so the South wins. Cankles will fail
then you had the excesses of Nixon and a lot of reforms under him. look, you have no argument from me the system is broken NOW but this breaking is the fault of a big majority of White effing Trash in America. burning the country down to rule over ashes is no victory.
again, this theory has been around since the founding of our Republic. the entire spoils system was based on a Unitary Executive. our history has gone back and forth from a very strong to a weaker Executive. many things came to a head in early 1900s with progressive era under Teddy.
the Unitary executive theory has been around as a theory for a long time. Lawrence Lessig and Cass Sunstein wrote in 1994, "No one denies that in some sense the framers created a unitary executive; the question is in what sense. Let us distinguish between a strong and a weak version."
yes, and due to our being an idiocracy. let's face it, white people are some truly stupid creatures. I am white, I am a boomer, I know my generation, these are stupid, fat, entitled assholes and the world will be better off when we all die off.
Trump's now has malignant narcissism, he is ill. he can't walk a straight line. his brain is turning to mush. yes, the MAGAts will sane wash him even as he lays dying but MAGA itself is old, fat, pasty faced and themselves will die off in big numbers.
but Gingrich was fighting mostly a cultural war, his revolution in government failed, in fact in many respects Clinton's second term was very successful because he knew how to triangulate. again, tactics to what end, to what effect? without immigration our population and economy will decline,
Trump is running roughshod over the Constitution and the House and Senate have folded utterly. but what will the results be? economically it is a train wreck. they said Mussolini made the trains run on time but Trump is wrecking everything. that fat bitch will die, who will replace him? JD CouchFer?
2000?? 2008 Obama made massive policy gains, and Biden did as well. Trump is taking credit for policy gains of Biden with the infrastructure act. it is only now that the GOP is not fighting a rear guard action as Trump failed utterly in his first term to undo any Obama accomplishments
this is sui generis. these are things that have never happened in US history but this is entirely due to our being an idiocracy at a level not seen since the Civil War. again, the problem for GOP is if you break things you own them. MAGA are old fat white people who will soon be dying off in huge #
basically it goes back to GHWB putting Thomas in it at such a young age. RBG was in her 60s when Clinton put her on the court. and Dems forced Scalia on America because they rejected GWBs first choice. so much Dem incompetence regarding the Courts.
that has everything to do with RBG not leaving office despite having cancer and then McConnell blowing up tradition with Scalia. as to McConnell, he is old and near death but in future Dems have to do the same to GOP as to courts. this though is a flaw in our system of lifetime appointments
historically though the pendulum swings have favored Dems in the elections as Dems acquired 60 votes in Senate with Obama. the problem for GOP is when you wreck things you are wrecking things many Americans have come to appreciate. Trump didn't get a chance to wreck much in his first term.
Harris lost because she is a black woman and America is far too misogynistic and racist to get over both (at least those Biden voters of 2020 who went to Trump) Trump is a fat, cankled old man with progressive dementia. he is a terrible President by every measure.
oh please, we don't keep losing. we lost ONCE in 2024 (Trump drew an inside straight in 2016 winning EC despite losing by a whopping 3 million votes). Trump lost in a landslide in 2020. America is an idiocracy, they expect immediate results and when they don't get it they turn against party in power
Trump is a fat, degenerating buffoon. he is 79, has cankles, mottled skin, and progressive dementia. MAGA might pretend it is all fine but he and his cronies are nearly all shitheads. Insurance rates and inflation will spike next year, hospitals close, jobs go down. MAGA is old, fat, pasty faced
did you see the widely mocked and sincerely cringe inducing Martin's "LFG" speech? he is absolutely no cut out for this at this time. if it were 2009 and Obama were President I wouldn't care less if you had some administrator there, but we need a fighter and communicator.
oh my GOD just shoot me now. Martin is a disaster, he comes across like an ineffective gym coach, he has no personality. as I wrote I'd rather is be Buttigieg but if it had to be a woman I'd be fine with Porter (if she weren't running for Gov.) because she is an effective communicator.
what we have had is a rapidly swinging pendulum. from 1930 to 1994 Dems controlled House for all but 4 years, from 94 until 06 GOP controlled House for 12 years. Since then it has been 4 Dems, 4 GOP, 4 Dems, 4 (so far) GOP, in WH after Obama it was Trump 1 term, Biden 1, Trump second, no 8 or so
no, the trend is not steady R gains. in 2003 had GWB, 229 seats in the House, and 51 seats in the Senate. in 2004 they had 232 in House and 55 in the Senate. in 2006 they crashed. in 2004 there was no gay marriage, no ACA, 2 disastrous wars ongoing in Iraq and Afghanistan. massive ongoing deficits
people screamed that Hogg was kicked out because he had to make room for a woman, as though that was a justification in itself. I think it is because he wouldn't play ball but in either case he was replaced by a non-entity nationally even if she is a woman. Katie Porter would be better than Martin
even Malcolm Kenyatta is both a DNC Vice Chair and a PA state representative and is now making over 200K from what are now 2 part time jobs. the rest might be ok professors in colleges but I can't name anyone else in DNC. they ran Hogg out of office for saying something real.
it isn't what, it is who. if Buttigieg were the DNC chief he could go out there and advocate for Dem politicians and positions. the guy they have now is a complete non-entity. at most he might be a good manager of paperwork but he is absolutely not what the times requires. none of them are.
we are stuck with living with the odds, ok 2 kids died but that is only around 1% so therefore my kid would have had a 99% chance of survival. this has to be the thinking of GOP, even more they think something bad can never happen to THEIR KIDS because they are so special and God wouldn't allow it
there is zero chance Trump would let Oregon do anything that requires federal gov't buy in. it makes sense just piggybacking on the system as it exists. i am just not sure how they will get this past insurance companies unless it is a super amped ACA where they process claims.
single payer plus I imagine. those on medicare, medicaid, and who get ACA funding would continue to get it, and single payer will fill in the gaps, everyone else would get the single payer. no money would be redirected. it is like countries with single payer that also have private insurance
if a family member were deported to central America I would do all I could to financially support them and visit as much as possible and work towards the day we could be permanently reunited in a Trump less world.
he is 79, has cankles, progressive dementia, mottled skin...he is the one afraid, he can't walk a straight line. I understand millions of undocumented aliens and their citizen families will be scared, even terrified but even that is not a death sentence. I lived in China and Oaxaca each for years.
oh FFS, you just outright admit you are a moron by saying you like Marx. if it were Groucho I'd say ok but you like Karl. Go to Russia Tovarisch. I mute those who surrender in advance like you. we wil FUCKING WIN in the end though it will be a hard few years.
oh FFS. you sound like a sniveling coward hiding under the basement afraid of the big bad boogie man. and you honestly think Trump is Hitler??? that we will have concentration camps exterminating millions? that we will invade Canada and Mexico for Lebensraum? I am not afraid of the fat orange turd
oh eff off. way to entirely miss the point. you could say this nonsense about every effing country you assclown.
the fat orange turd will die, even nightmares end. they will run the economy into a ditch and people will get exhausted by this insanity. MAGAts are old, can't defeat mortality and as the environment also turns to shit their kids will know it was their fault. Maga has less than 41 months AT MOST
nonsense, survival by Ukraine is winning as they only have to outlast Putin at worst, at best Russia's economy will utterly melt down before he dies. Had Harris won Russia would have sued for peace by now, Putin would have declared a ceasefire and dug in.
quasi-medical diagnosis by a non-Doctor observing what is probably a lot of jet lagged kids trudging through an airport. when my kids flew back from China they looked like they were facing a lot of challenges, mitochondrial or otherwise, due to being wired AF and from that I can't get covid vaccines
so white people in blue urban areas will be fine. this was the Bloomberg style of governance in NYC for 12 years. minorities got stopped and frisked, whites went on their merry way.
the Republican was a carpetbagger who was only in it because he thought he could win and push his fascist ideology. he was a true wingnut.
sure, but what really paved the way was our idiotic voting public. look, we also have to be honest, so was this Bill Clinton, we waved away his having an affair with an intern in the Oval office and lying about it. all the standards were lowered. you say Trump's sexual insanity, GOP screams Bill
he may or may not be drunk but that was incredibly dangerous. i could see cutting the fiber to it and then throwing rocks at it from a distance but he risked his life. luckily Russians produce so much cheap shit.
ok, I see this is a thread and you have that info up top. i think most people who will die of covid will be those who age into the risk factors of dying from it. that is unless as I said a newer deadlier variant comes along in which case we all might be screwed as CDC will slow walk new vaccines
In April, an average of about 350 people died each week from COVID, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). in Jan it was nearly 1000 a week. now it is way down. unless newer deadlier variant comes out most who would have died have covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-t...
i wonder if I could keep up with them in a race. I have a Husky and a few times he has escaped and I had to resort to lying down in the road to get him to come back because if I went towards him he kept going. but looks can be deceiving so maybe Corgis can motor pretty fast (at least faster than me)
wow, saying you are as big an ahole as people think is not the flex you think it is. i've been putting the needs of others ahead of myself for decades, even before I had kids when I worked with poor people in Asia and Latin America. i guarantee you've never done jack for any strangers.
this is why they came so hard at Mamdani. now I think he is more aspirational in his goals than is practical but they view him as a fundamental threat to their rich donor base in NYC because that is who they serve. they want a socially liberal but economic conservative run the city, like Bloomsburg
Trump won't remotely be able to govern by 2028, he has progressive dementia, he is into Mid-stage now. At this rate he will be bed bound in 4 years sleeping most of time. be thankful he didn't win in 2020
i will never understand why anyone would love that fat orange buffoon. Reagan I got. he was a handsome former movie star with a good sense of humor. he also came from humble beginnings so knew how to fake it. anyone who loves Trump is just sick in the head.
founders.archives.gov/documents/Ha... Talents for low intrigue and the little arts of popularity may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single state; but it will require other talents and a different kind of merit to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole union
Fed 68: This process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of president, will seldom12 fall to the lot of any man, who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications yeah, the EC did not work as intended at all. quite the opposite. no EC no Trump in 2016
