It’s beneath anyone, nobody else would do this, even the lowest dregs of society.

It’s uniquely revolting.

I can’t think of anything he has said that is worse, a new low, what a disgusting piece of shit.

The people financing Trump are the puppeteers, they will immediately switch to another puppet.

The simple are a happy people, zombies have total peace of mind

Shhh, that’s a secret, those are “campaign contributions” and nothing is expected in return! Mercy me, I have the vapors…

We are a plutocracy, our government sold out long ago and is the most corrupt country of all time.

I know that they say it’s actually pretty good and we are a rule of law country without a corruption problem, but unfortunately, that’s because we’ve made corruption and bribery perfectly legal.

If you haven’t done this yet, check out Super PACs, long story short it’s a cash pipeline with laughably weak oversight, and everybody in government knows exactly why it legal.

In 1970s FBI did a bribery catfish of reps, mayors, and more, and almost half of them took the bait and many were convicted of bribery (ABSCAM).

Starting in 2000s, Super PACs allow unlimited funding and they don’t have to declare who gave it to them. The FBI is now investigating furries instead of congress.

It’s a madhouse.

So, Musk and Bezos and Saudi Arabia? My top 3 suspects

I know they despised each other, but the Reiners aren’t even in the ground yet. Have some respect for his surviving family you stinky cankleoid.

I think they are deliberately trying to anger and not just being incompetent.

Why are they doing this? There’s money to be made with this somehow, and it has to be a LOT of money, so obviously the USA is planning to fuck them over financially in some bigly fashion.

Seizing every nation’s accounts would be my best guess, but I thought Trump would lose so what do I know.

Thank you for your time

:)

Yes, my opinion is she “ran on” abortion and R outreach primarily.

Abortion was a good issue, but any “R outreach” time spent was wasted. Spend that time on Democrats and independents instead.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I thought thoroughness would be pedantic. I could have gone into much more detail, or at least typed out “FEDERAL minimum wage”, but I had thought this was taken for granted in any FEDERAL election. So what do you do? Accuse me of “pretending” and “cherry picking”, that’s not nice.

So, for future reference, a President can only sign a federal minimum wage increase, they are unable to raise state, city, etc. minimum wages. I’ll be sure to type that out into great detail next time. Ha, I’m kidding, ain’t nobody got time for that.

You know my post would have had to be pages long for the wage increase if I went into detail, you could easily write a fat book about it.

Remember, 40% of voters are independent, Ds and Rs are at 30% each. It’s to your advantage to be cordial, whatever party you are; hostility will NOT win elections. Not an accusation, just sharing a factoid (hint hint)

It’s funny to many of the proles, don’t be a Debbie Downer

Agreed! Our “labor party” sold out a long time ago; our current choices are secular or theocratic capital.

I didn’t watch her every appearance, but I did watch quite a lot, and minimum wage seriously got very little time compared to her pursuit of Republicans. Reporters and politicos who did watch everything agree. Abortion was in the forefront regarding their D platform, which has about as much support as higher minimum wage (over 60%).

If she had replaced her R outreach with campaigning for higher wages, and continued as she did with the abortion issue, she would have received many more D and independent voters. She needed them both to win, the “R strategy” was weird and stupid and in my opinion I think she was paid to do exactly what she did.

Her campaign undeniably made a fortune from somebody (over a billion dollars). Not only did she make more than anybody ever, she did it in just a few months. It’s a radical and preposterous increase, right in the open, in public.

She immediately knew reaching out to Rs was a massive waste of precious time and that she would lose if she did so. It’s a mathematical certainty, bOtH pArTiEs know that they need to court independents instead of their opponents to win a fed election.

I voted for her, this is not a Trump defense, he also is paid to do exactly what he does by “donors” (like Saudi Arabia and Musk and Bezos and Walmart and Russia and that guy from the Hercules sitcom).

Correction, the current “filibuster” rule (not law) is no longer a filibuster, they just “call” it a filibuster, but don’t actually perform it. So, it’s not even a filibuster as it was known for many decades, but an out-in-the-open parlor trick.

Cloture rules (not law) were changed after the ND, in 1975, look it up. Your statement that “the modern cloture rule dates back to the end of WW1” is blatantly false, per the senate. I think that they know their own rules pretty well.

https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/filibusters-cloture.htm

They follow the cloture rule when they really don’t want to pass something, which is most of the time. See the first minimum wage vote under Biden for example, oops, we need 60 votes! Coincidentally, the New Deal would not have passed, as they only had 59 votes.

If they want to pass a law for real, they then retract their rule (not law), and then they only need a simple majority. They have done this many times, around 200 last time I checked.

If Biden and friends had wanted to actually raise minimum wage, they would have made an exception to their senate cloture rules (not law), and they would have only needed a simple majority to pass it (they could have done this with Harris being the deciding vote).

They did not.

I am still punishing the iPad and have yet to flip it back over.

AI WILL LEARN SOME MANNERS UNDER THIS ROOF

and thank you, mom always said I was a clever boy!

Whatever would give you that idea? I don’t want you to buy and set up a new iPad to show me how to navigate instructions on a screen, that was never said or even vaguely implied. It’s not even a viable conversational option, well done.

Thanks for the hearty laughs at you laughing inappropriately due to your own lack of comprehension and nonsensical response. Seriously, how could you possibly think that I want you to do setup or buy an ipad in any way? The bet was… oh why bother, fine, you don’t want a video that proves you are wrong.

Your claim is still dishonest and/or inept, recall that your setup experience is irrelevant and not universal, per Apple’s very own admission. Plain to discover for anyone who investigates with even a cursory search, oh well, haha hahaha thank yoooooooooouuuu

Unfortunately, our two party system has resulted in the current good cop/bad cop dynamic for many years. Since the Supremes decided that money is free speech and corporations are people, regular voters have lost a massive amount of influence.

Your ideals are good, but look around, you’re living in a political fantasy, not reality. None of this is secret, it is now done right out in the open.

1. Major parties switch leadership roles every few years, but each party requires the other to make their own corporate donors happy. BoTh PaRtIeS use the other to pass law that is unpopular with their own voter base, resulting in more donations for all concerned. Except the voter base, of course (a recurring theme).
2. Are you a poor businessman, or perhaps just greedy? Politics is the third easiest path to significant wealth in the USA. Many not only get rich, their entire family enjoys truly ridiculous pay and benefits for those demanding government jobs, like being the ambassador to Bermuda. The more you look, the more examples you can find of entire families just happening to all become rich. The number one easiest path to wealth is inheritance, no. 2 is prosperity gospel preacher. Didn’t even mention insider trading, I could go on and on blah blah blah.
3. If desired, the parties will just “switch” their platform, this is “the old switcheroo”. Trump has done this with “states rights” for example. They don’t even have respect for their very own party members, whatever, none of this matters.
4. Also, did you ever wonder why being in politics virtually guarantees the “New York Times Best Seller” status? They don’t even have to write it to become a millionaire, they just pay some poor hump a few grand to figure it out. And, the best part, guess who buys those many thousands of books? Why, their very own party members pay for them via their campaign contributions! And the very bester part? They just dump the crappy books in a landfill. The very bestest of all super parts? Their constituency pay for the dumpsters dumping the books that they have already paid for.
5. I have been reading about the Fed recently, and good lord. They are not even the government, they are bankers who profit from their banking and they can “raise taxes” immediately for every US citizen by manipulating the interest rate, absolutely zero democracy involved. So, the only way to limit the fantastic power of banks (government) is owned and operated by… the banks? That’s like putting the police in charge of policing the police, who is dumb enough to do that? I feel kinda weird now.
6. Our Supreme Court is now openly and publicly accepting bribes. They don’t run for election and have lifetime appointments… and for that matter, at least two billionaires shared the stage with Trump after their “election victory”, and then, the worst hoarder on planet Earth was provided with a government appointment and then he immediately began blatantly breaking the law

… and so much more

In my opinion, you need to face that voting is absolutely no solution and that it is for entertainment purposes only, like answering a poll or survey. I don’t know the solution, I only know that voting isn’t it.

To be extremely clear. THAT WAS ONE OF HER POLICIES

Of course, this is well known in politics circles. That is why I said, “a good portion of her campaign was targeting Republican women voters.” (bold added for emphasis)

To be totally transparent, SERIOUSLY, THIS Is NOT A JOKE OR SOME KIND OF WORD TRICKERY OR CONSPIRACY, WITH NO CLAIMS MADE OF A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OR EXCLUSIVITY OF POLICIES.

You are the cream of the crop, somehow you not only knew this, you decided that this needs to be shared, even though anyone with electricity has been told this hundreds of times.Thank yooooooooouuuuuuu
