I don’t think the Hispanic vote will be a hold for the GOP At this point, they and everyone else knows, we can’t continue with goon squads abducting people and engaging in all imaginable misconduct during these so called raids. It’s super depressing, and the GOP is responsible for doing it.

I used to live on the shores of Oneida Lake in Upstate New York The lake is so large it creates a light sink over the lake, and you can see the brilliant stars in the sky so clear they look like little light bulbs. Western Maine: same thing. Super low or no light interference.

This sounds like a threat to me. You don’t just casually tell Australians they’re going to “burn” when you have a vast network of agents in country who are well able to start fires that 100% will kill people. And Israelis are known for doing operations like that.

The Reagan Revolution inside the GOP and the neoliberal takeover of the Democratic Party ended up together creating policies that immiserated the post-Boomer generations — and many of these stats reflect that horrible reality.

I’m in Upstate NY and the same thing has happened here. Certain areas were plastered with Trump paraphernalia, and almost all of it is gone now. Some of these were huge, impressive displays that must have taken a lot of time and effort to install.
