You tell yourself some really fantastic fabrications about people you don't know at all. Luca. I suppose the only issue with that is you actually believe your fabrications are real.
I have opinions on everything. Feel free to ask. "Classically trained" government and economics degree. I.e., there's nothing "conservative" about MAGA conservatives. Also I love my poodle, Geordi, more than life.

You tell yourself some really fantastic fabrications about people you don't know at all. Luca. I suppose the only issue with that is you actually believe your fabrications are real.
Why on earth is no one stepping in?
You keep telling me what I think and how I feel, Luca. How do you know? Are you clairvoyant? Omniscient?
No, Luca. Prior to the meeting, I would have said it's not legit to talk about the future of Ukraine when Ukraine is not invited to the party. Now I can say even Putin didn't regard it as legit. Your comment didn't age well. Also, How do you know what I care about? Are you spying on me?
I disagree. I think the nation fares MUCH better in his absence. Sick? Take some time off, Donny. Wanna play golf? Go right ahead.
Oh lort
I don't know why you would think that. They're not exactly in love with the truth at those press conferences.
Yeah, they won't be able to coordinate their "no" votes anymore.
He reminds me of Kramer taking karate classes with 9 year olds.
Check the replies. Single issue "my way or the highway" people within our ranks take us down. And it's not like Democrats are against their way. It would come about within the platform. They just haven't made what these people are railing about their life's mission and only reason for being.
I'd like to see dental care included in that. It's been healthcare's red-headed step child for too long. It's essential! Not optional!
Correct. He won't solve anything, because he and all those other life-sucking greedy republicans ARE the problem.
And don't think for a moment that what she said wasn't intentional.
The destruction of our financial institutions and collapse of the global economy as bitcoin and tokens take over, with trump the exchange king, raking in billions? Daily?
Ever the team player. Not.
No, to coin a phrase, "I said what I said." And I'm not arguing with your statement. I'm saying, "THEY ARE."
Yeah, it seems like you glommed onto the headline, which is intentionally inflammatory. and responded in kind. They're coordinating to provide alternative housing. Read the article. It's a task force working with multiple CA agencies. Here's just one: www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-and-f...
I can see her furrowed brow. This is serious. 😃
Is it attack the Centrists day again already? Hold on, let me get my files.
Did you miss this? "...and expanding access to shelter and services." It seems to me, Newsom has been under fire for the homeless situation in CA for a long, long time. Now he has appointed a task force to work on solutions, and he's under fire for that!
Toxic gun culture attracks wack jobs. Who knew.
YES! I don't care how or why. This is great news!!
I think the people out here in realityland are just going to ignore Captain Whalehead and carry on with common sense policies.
I don't see her so much as a liar as a she is a sellout-turned-robot. She's only repeating verbatim what she's told to say, without conscience, integrity, or any kind of self-awareness.
Happy Birthday, Momb!
That's not the flex he thinks it is.
Is he saying that because Kennedy is taking the lion's share of media attention, which allows him and others to quietly destroy our nation behind the limelight with their batshit shenanigans?
The more you know about this case, the stronger this case becomes. She was WACK over trump and believed everything he said, did everything he told her to do.
And he NEVER EVER protects and defends the constitution in any of his speeches or statements.
How are they taking matters into their own hands?
We are not. We are the resistance.
Just pay them no mind.
It hasn't been nice lately, and maybe it's getting worse over time. I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying. I know I've seen more extremist progressives entirely annihilate a more moderate poster (not the post, they go for the human). But then I think, maybe they're trumpers in disguise.
That also answers the question, without attacking the questioner. Thanks for playing.
Lots of people became very very rich during prohibition!
I hate all of this. I hate that poll. I hate their results. None of the messages, regardless of ranking, resound, because they're all canned. None come from the heart. None of them seem to be from real people who care.
This could escalate. I hope it does. (in a peaceful way).
My question, did they? If not, why not? So I went to the DNC official website. Dead air, there. Nothing current, nothing "live". It's not just a highly underused tool, for them, it's not a tool at all. Huge lost opportunity. I'd sign up for emails but I'm guessing they'll just ask for money.
Isn't it amazing that trump et all thought that was a good idea?! 😜
The stories you tell to yourself are quite vivid!
Yes. Perhaps the Worstesest!
Is it the site? or is it the people posting on this site? My reaction to so many posts is, "What are you doing? Why did you write this? This does not help!"
Leftist: Yes, Trump’s kind of a fascist. Now let me get back to my obsession, re-litigating fights with Democratic centrists from a decade or two ago. Centrist: Yes, there are signs of fascism. Now let me get back to complaining a lefty used some woke terms a few years ago. American democracy: 🤯🤯🤯
"I gave Wes Moore..." This is a statement that define's trump's mentality about the Executive branch, elected state officials, and politics in general. I find it highly problematic, not just because it's crime boss melodrama, but also because the entire nation is beginning to think the same way.
The issue I see in American politics is that as soon as somebody says or does something that's popular, they're calling for that person to run for president. It'll die down, as it always does. But it's annoying that it happens in the first place.
OMG is that a HASH BROWN? 😍
I think the replies to Cuban's post are more worst than Mark's worst.
That didn't answer the question. Personal attacks are not public political discourse.
I don't want to compliment trump. But I do want to be rational and fair-minded, focusing on the facts rather than the hype, the propaganda. I want to avoid name calling and ridicule. I just want to say things like, "Trump signed an order to open up the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge to drilling."
I don't get what you're saying. It's a question meant to inspire thought. Not to influence. It's a question for self-reflection. It might possibly be the opposite of your prediction. By asking it, we may avoid the same disaster again.
bitter, sour grapes.
I don't know why anyone is still there in the first place. They should have walked away the day trump took control.
Every time he opens his mouth, he tells all of us who he really is: a genuinely despicable guy.
Isn't that just amazing! Stunning work.
I don't get this or the responses. Meanwhile, high schoolers are failing "Revolutionary War or Civil War?" matching tests where they have a 50-50 chance of being right on each item*. Anything beyond that goes right over their heads. *Sample items: 1. George Washington. 2. Gettysburg Address.
You have no clue what political discourse in a public forum is, it seems.
Good question. When David Hogg was on the leadership team, he suggested challenging those do-nothing democrats with new candidates. He was promptly ousted from said team. Short answer: The baton should have been passed to Hogg's generation but nobody took it. We need new, younger blood.
Stunning blatant disinformation.
That would be the first thing to go in the bonfire. Gauaranteed.
No. If you read the whole article, you realize he's doing what he can to keep the peace in his family. He's staying away from making a public comment because no matter what you say, you lose. He knows that. The article very clearly shows the whole picture. Give him a break.
*googles LLM* 😄 But I hear you. People make up all kinds of stories in lieu of listening and learning, about all kinds of subjects.
You're missing the point. I'm not advocating for Newsom. It could be anybody. When people say, I absolutely will not vote for X, then that defacto becomes a vote for Y in a two party system. Who is Y in this equation? Trump. The Fascist.
Oh. So it doesn't matter that I had a permaban from twitter like 8 years ago because it got hacked and they blamed me for whatever obscenity the hacker chose to use my account to deliver which they wouldn't show me. And that I don't watch Maddow or follow her. Because YOU JUST KNOW, amiright?
You're telling stories to yourself about someone you know nothing about.
Not sure what your point is, "Tug."
"This specific administration?" Oh lort
Yikes, Copy. Whoosh. Way to miss all the points. Have another beer. How about this: Whatever you do is fine with me. You do you. It's your future. You own it. You're in charge.
He has been a proponent of civil rights for marginalized people his entire career. Sheesh. He comes from San Francisco! He just said something you don't like one time, which was taken out of context, on a podcast that in retrospect, he now knows was ill-advised. But it's too late. OFF with his head.
You should look up Newsom's record. I'm not defending Newsom. I don't think he'll even run. I think this is his swan song before he retires to a grand life of boating and skiing and world travel. Sigh. Again, I fear my point is being lost. Thanks for playing, though.
Or anyones rights.
In other words, you're saying "this policy vs that policy and who might be better and I'm saying, anyone who believeS in the constitution and strives to uphold it is better than the constitution smashing lunatic dictator hell bent on ALL KINDS OF "CLEANSING" currently occupying the white house.
Ok so we're going full circle here. I'm saying "imperfect" is better than denying trans people life-saving care. Get the fascists out of power. #1 objective.
I already have. But not in your words. I just warned him, people will take your sound bites and run with them. So whatever good intentions you have are completely lost. It doesn't matter what you've done for 35 years. What matters is what you said last week taken out of context.
Cool. Biden running for a second term was a huge mistake. It wasn't supposed to happen. Harris stepping in multiplied that mistake exponentially. It was wrong wrong wrong and it has cost us so much. I'm as angry about it as anyone. But voting for Harris wasn't a mistake. Not voting for her was.
Your propaganda words are telling.
You have a very vivid imagination.
No one's forcing you to vote for anyone. Not yet, anyway. Vote for who you want. Just own the results.
Well that certainly escalated fast! Look at that personal attack! Wow! Good for you, going for the win at any expense. One might actually call that a brilliant fascist tactic!!
You can do whatever you want. It's your future.
I am saying, if you do not vote for our opposition candidate, then you essentially have voted for the fascist, which makes you, by default, whether you like it or not, a fascist. And I will stand by that. Yes, they won't like that. But it is without a doubt a logical statement.
This is like those kindergarten telephone games. The original message has been entirely lost. But do go on.
Who's the nut now, Beanzie? LOL. You incite conflict on social media. You know nothing but that doesn't stop you. You refuse to understand because you don't want to. You are a menace. It seems like this shit would be old, now. Most people know better.
Well, owl, if you'd listened to the whole thing, you'd know this is an unfair judgment. Newsom made the mistake of weighing both sides verbally. HIS BAD! He could have had a better response, but it was live. So there you go. OFF WITH HIS HEAD. He's not even running. It's all theoretical.
You entirely missed my point and continue to do so, ostensibly purposefully. I will not be your pawn.
What are your thoughts, Beanzie? Because I'd rather hear from you than get caught in another one of your fascist traps.
So you're rather have trump. Thanks for playing.
What's funny about this is this post is its a popular fascist tactic to use when you want to discredit someone in public. Your next step is to throw me out a high rise window. You seem to have no willingness to understand what I'm writing. It's almost like you work for trump. wait...
I'd like to point out your words: "if you want our votes." You're not an outsider. You are not separate from what's happening. You ARE the party of opposition, or you are fascist. There is no in between. You're not looking in the window at what everyone else is doing. YOU are doing the doing.
These are not normal times. Biden said, (paraphrasing) don't compare your candidate to God and tick off the sins; compare them to the opposition candidate. Trump signals the demise of our nation. People will get hurt. People will die. No one is safe, and LGBTQ/Trans are prime targets.
You choose fascism when you declare you will not vote for the Dem candidate of choice under any circumstance. That is equivalent to handing fascists your vote. It's how trump won. It's why we're here. It's why thugs kidnap people with the wrong skin color and send them to foreign torture prisons.
Every candidate will have detractors. Newsome is not on the ticket and people are already declaring they'd rather be fascist. Switch the names and watch the same reaction. Because they just don't get it. We are in the fight for our lives. Literally. The future of our nation is on the line.
In normal times, you are absolutely correct. These are not normal times. Your sentiments normalize trump and his puppeteers who run this shit show. They're not normal. They do signal the end of all that we enjoy as our freedoms. People will die. You may die. Because no one exempt.
Yeah but that's just wrong. It's idealistic. Sort of the antithesis of what politics actually is. Democrats have made mistakes. But we are a two-party system. And right now we have the option of "continue fascist dictatorship and all its deadly persecutions and deaths", or "imperfect."
I don't have to imagine, Copy. Listen, if you refuse to vote for the opposition party, in this case Democrats, you hand over our nation to fascism. Therefore by default, you become a fascist with that choice. If we can't stick together, we are going to lose. These are not normal times.
Fascism is a political ideology, not "slander." But I'm happy to tell you. If you declare that you absolutely will not vote for a democrat if they happen to land on the presidential ticket, you hand over our nation to fascism. Therefore, BY DEFAULT you become a fascist. You chose that.
LOL No they don't. They report on what TRUMP thinks, and how stupid and wrong that is. But I find it just funny. You won't believe me. Not under any circumstance. Facts don't matter. People who actually live here and see it for themselves mean nothing. You are proof: We are our own worst enemy.
He took one for the team, but it's not Murphy who comes out looking pathetic.
Tell your wife I love her.
He's thinking about how great those flags look. That's what he's thinking about.
