  1. He should be handed over to the ICC and held for trial

  2. In a democracy voters choose their politicians. In a banana republic politicans choose their voters. Keep this in mind as Republican politicians try to choose their voters.

  3. 6 billion dollars to police just under 4 million people. That is a crazy per capita cost for policing.

  4. I guess Bloomberg is getting his money's worth out of the Congressman he probably bought I mean got.

  5. The military stopped spending $300 million a day in Afghanistan but gets billions more in their bloated budget. This fight over policies that would help American citizens isn't a question of resources it is a question of priorities. The politicians choose to fund the military industrial complex over Americans.

  6. Once again Centrist corporatist Democrats start half way to the GOP with 7% of 14% as a rollback and then negotiate to the right for Joe Manchin before the Republicans even start. This is how the two parties are both working for the wealthy. This is class warfare and my class is winning- Warren Buffett

  7. Time for all unions to tell Congress if they vote against the union the unions will make sure their primary opponent will vote to support the unions in 2024.

  8. Well one thing is for sure the US exports of LNG have benefited from the explosion of the Nordstream pipeline. Following the money often provides creditably to situations.

  9. 6 banks got tax cuts equal to free college education for all Americans but no one asked Congress how they would pay for the welfare for the bankers.

  10. First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. —Martin Niemöller

  11. It is absolutely disgusting that the police murdered someone for the crime of driving their own car. But just for a second assume the driver had committed the crime of grand theft auto. When did it become acceptable for the police to use brutality deadly force to recover stolen property? What the hell is wrong with this country?

  12. 100 billion dollars isn't sleep walking into a war it is running full speed ahead.

  13. 1% on stock buybacks is 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wish the working class paid 1% on their wages.

  14. The Biden administration is proving why we can't afford centrist half measures. The USA doesn't need more ff to lower gas prices we need more EV production ASAP to end the demand for ff and stop fueling the climate crisis with ecer mile driven. Once again proving how this administration isn't up to the challanged our species faces in 2021. Maybe in 1960 it would have been good but not enough now.

  15. We need rank choice voting and more parties
    32
  16. Funny how the GOP didnt need to have pay go type balancing when they passed tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations or when they added $100 billion dollars to the military budget which is now $715 billion dollars a year. No one is allowed to ask how you pay for the right wing policies. Pay go is just a way to stop American from getting Medicare for All and a Green New Deal which would rebuild our economy based on local renewable energy jobs instead of the current for profit health insurance industry and military industrial complex fighting war for oil companies.

  17. Germany can apply more pressure by installing renewable energy and ending their demand for Russian government oil.
    32
  18. So Bloomberg can afford to spend 5 billion dollars to defeat Bernie Sanders and make it up in tax saving. Now we know why this oligarch wants to be president.
    32
  19. California shows us that vote blue no matter who won't get us the change we need. We need rank choice voting and the people's party to end the 2 party monopoly
    32
  20. Ironically if the house of representatives used the same system to pick a leader for the house as we use to pick the members of the house the Democrats would hold the speakership now. Because in a first past the post vote they got the most votes.
    32
  21. The best response the USA and Europe could have to Russia is to switch to renewable energy and end the leverage that Russia has by being an oil exporter.

  22. Trump accusing Nancy of losing it is the best projection ever.
    32
  23. George Santos is the new face of the GOP
    32
  24. Any senator who can't uphold the oath of impartiality they took needs to recuse themselves. We know that means Mitch McConnell and Graham for sure.
    31
  25. I love that billboard it is one of the most honest ones I have ever seen
    31
  26. Yes just as it didn't end well for Germany a century ago..
    31
  27. People are on avg $5,000 behind on their rent. Biden need to call for real relief for citizens rent forgiveness or far more money because Mitch McConnell's $600 won't pay a $5,000 debt.
    31
  28. The 11 Republicans on the hearing all have to hide behind a woman who was not elected to the Senate because they are afraid to ask a survivor of sexual harassment questions.
    31
  29. Time for the DOJ to investigate the Manchin crime family
    30
  30. I would love to see Bloomberg raise a garden and persevere his own food for one year. He has no clue what it takes to farm. Having grown up on a farm and worker as a controls engineer I can assure you that you can't teach just anyone how to farm. This oligarch has no place in the Democratic party primary he should be forced to register in the Republican party again.

  31. One more example of how a good guy with a gun just makes one more target for police to kill.

  32. ​ @lm4836 unconditional support for Israel today won't change if the DNC or GOP nominee wins in 2024 they have the same Israel policy
    30
  33. Well if the military can only account for 60% of their budget who would expect them to do better with accounting for their cargo?
    30
  34. Americans voting uncommitted Russians voting not Putin. Seems we have something in common after all neither society approves of the ruling class.
    30
  35. I would say the UK is learning that the free market isn't the best tool to ration limited supplies need for survival. Or to put it another way the working class doesn't enjoy the hardships the capitalist class is forcing them through to protect their capital assets.

  36. Harris could have simply said nothing will fundamentally change and walked off stage.
    30
  37. Hillary Clinton said Joe Biden has the same base of support I had in 2016. I suspect she is correct and that the 2020 race will end the same way her 2016 race ended.
    29
  38. Well that is 700 votes trump denied himself
    29
  39. One more reason to implement rank choice voting and end the duopoly and spoiler effect.
    29
  40. These fires and death are linked to two words. Fossil Fuels. If we want to end the climate crisis we need to leave the remaining fossil fuels in the ground.
    29
  41. Lol Congress takes almost half the year in vacation.
    29
  42. The Democratic party needs to end the filibuster and stop hiding behind the GOP.
    29
  43. Please let trump and his supporters expose themselves to a deadly pandemic at a packed rally. They can then get the Darwin award.

  44. Nancy Pelosi doesn't think it is worth following the constitutional requirements of her job as head of the house is what she is saying. She needs to be removed from the position of speaker and replaces with someone who is willing to actually do what the job requires.
    28
  45. How many years did the trucking company CEO who owned the trailer and was responsible for its mantaince? Oh right zero we don't hold the caplistist class personally responsible for the results of their failure to keep a safe work environment.
    28
  46. If the Whitehouse press conference isn't going to comment on ongoing political processes they might as well cancel all press briefings.
    28
  47. Someone should tell Chuck Schumer that of he didn't cave in to 8 millionaires in his own party those starving children's parents could have earned a living wage not continuing to work for starvation wages.
    28
  48. Mitch McConnell is violating the oath he has to take with respect to impeachment. The hypocrisy of a party that impeached Bill Clinton for breaking his oath is amazing.
    28
  49. We need a boycott movement for any company which supplies tear gas and rubber bullets. If we want Congress to take meaningful action we need to make the companies who profit off the policing of Americans feel the cost.

  50. Calling for the DNC to shutdown the primary is as anti democracy as you can get. Why shouldn't the voters in the remaining states get a chance to vote? Why is he appose to the process that all the Democratic candidates said at the debate stage had to be allowed to play itself out? They are not even to pretend that this is a government of the people any more.
