  1. What's insane about these Republican voters that say he's not a regular politician. And that's what they like about him. The only time trump got anything done, was when he played the regular politician. It's crazy their excuse.

  2. At what point is the zygote an actual a feeling, thinking being? When is the brain active? This is what people should know for sure, before placing a limit on a reasonable abortion period. In my opinion, no-one is...pro abortion. But...if there is to be a time frame for it's limit, everyone involved, need to be aware of when the fetus is a being. With feelings, awareness. There is no doubt it's the woman's decision to make in the end. And men can only imagine, the mental anxiety a woman goes through. So unless you're the father, you have no right to MAKE, the woman do anything, one way or the other.

  3. So true. These people live for the power and the money, period. And could care less about the constituents that elect them.

  4. @Thewall3000  Why not say that to your boy Vivek. He is, the prime example of your perfect, Indian descent contribution to boosting the American, economy. And as for the Mexican," hard working", flooding into the country. I've been a hard worker in home building construction, since 1978. After leaving the army. During the first 15 years of home construction, the crews consisted of predominantly white and some black labor and carpenters, drywall and other trades. But from about the mid 90s, immigrant labor started coming in. Not a lot, but enough to feather out white. Seeings you want to go color, as a measurement. Workers. Making contractors look at cheaper, under the table labor. Please don't try denying that. I'm in the business. I saw it. Still, not to an extreme. There was enough work to go around. Then came George W Bush. And the bottom fell out of remodeling, home building . Then Obama came in and we started to recover and I was doing remodeling contracting as my own boss. My sister was dating an Hispanic guy and he worked as a loborer on a house building crew. And he was telling me about how these Mexican crews building homes, were having to go back, over and over, fixing mistakes in their work. These are the hard working people you're boasting. At 72 now, I don't have the ability to do roof repair on my house. So my son got ahold of an AMERICAN, roofing contractor to come out and do some work on my roof. They sent out 2 , " Brown", guys. Not 1 word of English. How the hell, am I supposed to commute with these guys? This is ridiculous. I have no hate for any peoples in the world. And I don't care if individuals want to come here and try a new life in a different country. But they don't assimilate. They form little neighborhoods. Buying, renting in a neighborhood and associate only with each other. To me, you move to a different country, you are that country. You're not trying to turn that country into pockets of your people. I was born in Germany. I'm an immigrant. But I came here with my mom and stepdad in 1956, and I'm an American. I speak English i live by American standards and rules. I fought in the American army. And id like to ask you. If India is so wonderful. Why are so many Hindi people living here? Earning American dollars? Why aren't smart Hindi folks like Vivek and his parents, living in India trying to make life better for their fellow Indians? Why? You are right about 1 thing. It is the rich turds of the wall street world and the millionaires and billionaires that have screwed American democracy. But lets ask ourselves. How many of today's rich people are of Indian descent? And how many of them, voted for trump? Did you?

  5. The problem with most or all the candidates except the Christie is, they don't truly say anything very opposite of djt. Their only phrase is, he did a great job, but we believe we need a younger generation of leadership. Desantrump shows this in every speech. Hate, hate, hate. But from a younger version of the same. And even some worse.

  6. Here's a little thing we might put up. Stop hunting. We don't live in the 18 hundreds. We have grocery stores on every 5th corner. How bout when herds need thinning. State employees go out with tranquilizer guns and hit deer that are certain ages or however they regulate now. Then they sell meat to butchers etc. Why are we teaching our kids to hunt? The less and less free range habitat mean less and less deer population in general. So what are you going to hunt? And come on. With the rifles of today, it's not a challenge anyway. Anyway, there are ways to curb the need for weapons at all points. I'm 72. I was in Nam. I had my share of shooting living things. Since I have gotten out, I've not owned a weapon. And surprise, surprise. I've never needed one. Though having a realistic hand gun, if you live in an environment where you need one. That's fine if totally regulated, registered and trained to use with total safety. There are ways we can live without having a weapons armory in our homes.

  7. So damn true. All the while Congress gives itself a raise, while trying to figure out what social program they can CUT! They are anticipating the economy bust by making sure their bank accounts are full.

  8. It's just so disgusting to hear, " if he just does it, one more time, we can put him in lockup. And one more time happens, and they say it again. ' If he does it just one more time". On, and on, and on. And he NEVER, goes to jail. And this is how he's lived his whole life.

  9. I would NEVER!, watch the crap fest of our newly elected Felon 47. But I'm picturing mtg, and Lauren Boobert, dancing in the aisles with Mike Johnson. 🤮🤮🤮. Totally disgusting show of rich bastards parading around with the help. Oh and in defense of Obama. He lost the toss, as to who the hell, had to sit shoulder to shoulder with Felon 47. Ya notice trump was on the aisle to the left. And Obama just swallowed his disgust and afterwards went right home and showered. For an hour.

  10. That makes no f,n sense. By the constitutions own verbiage, he cannot hold ANY office if he's done what he did. 25% of voters be damned. The constitution says no, he cannot hold office. Vote for him if you want, his possible victory will be null and void. Because he cannot hold the office u want him to. What the hell is going on? If 25 or 35% of idiots, want another idiot to be the president, but the constitution states he cannot hold that position. Duh, excuse me. Or change the constitution. Oh and while we're at it. Lets change other parts. I don't want people to have the right to have guns. Lets change that one. Where do we draw the line. Basically giving the minority the steering wheel and gas pedal and the brake pedal too?

  11. Then he calls his people, ' stupid ". How the hell does anyone in his orbit, stomach his behavior. Well, I guess u have to have a past tense for refute. But that's refuted. I guess you have to restate your sentence to make it work.

  12. The problem is, even if she doesn't endorse trump, will she give Biden the nod so her voters will throw their votes to him or just not vote or even fall back and say she didn't make it but I want a Republican even if it's trump. Voters almost need to be told what to do. At least some.

  13. Come on Sarah, he hired her for eye candy for male case watchers and Melania is hanging in NY and Habba probably gives him the female companionship at home and on the road. Wait and see. Because come on. Her legal skills obviously are not helping him at all. And shes also done other cases for him and lost them too. How many losing male lawyers after losing, has he kept?

  14. Hell, I've thought for years, how easy it would be for China to put chips in every electronic tool, car, power equipment, TVs, just everything. I don't know what it would do to put us into turmoil, ruin things, spy on us, anything. If they really wanted to. When you understand the power, inside a chip. There's almost endless information that could fit into something the size of a pencil eraser slice.

  15. I'm a stupid carpenter, and I know enough about trumps past, to know he's been a shyster for decades. And, I'm suspicious about his financial goings-on in his casino's. In regaeds to money laundering. And I don't think that's been brought up at all.
    2
  16. I hate to be a doubting Thomas but sometimes I wonder if numbers aren't juggled a little. I did hear the other day that about 60% of the job numbers are rebounds from what was lost during the pandemic. So can we truly say the job growth is not just recovery and not new? Anyway, no matter what, I still do not want to see another trump presidency. Period.
    2
  17. Well hell. Just think about it. Dozens or hundreds of decently paid employees, suddenly not getting paid. That's probably millions of dollars a year. More! For doge to keep and use for whatever. This was trumps plan his first term. This year it was planned way in advance.
    2
  18. I don't think Bidens attitude is throwing money at everything. He had to quick fix the pandemic reaction. Take school loan forgiveness. He didn't go nuts and say, SURE, here you go. Though I don't think everyone needed forgiveness or even the 10 and 20 grand forgiveness. But I think he uses moderation in his judgements.
    2
  19. To me, it's pretty obvious that, trump only won in 16, was because he kept claiming to be a non politician. Then through 4 years, he proved he was no better than any other politician. And then came the shit show. Now sure, his rhetoric kept a few million , cult like loons. And the wealthy, as usual, love his, " I'm with ya", Republican bullshit. But many many, are real Americans and don't appreciate his love for Putin, Kim Jong un, and other authoritarian dictators. Now as for Biden. Statistics show, 60% of Americans earn less than 50 thousand dollars a year. Prices matter. And matter big. And these are the people that keep saying, we're not moving in the right direction, under Biden. Not really considering that, probably even if trump would have been elected in 2020, we very likely would be either worse or same, prices wise. But I still think, the closer we get to election day, the loyal Biden votes will come.

  20. WELL MAYBE YOU START MAKING THE GD BILLIONAIRES TO START PAYING AGAIN, LIKE THEY DID AFTER WW2? Poor,poor billionaires paying 22%? Wtf is so hard about making the people who make more money than God, paying more to keep the country that made them super rich, going strong? It's insane. Y'all would rather see a life saving plan like SS go bankrupt, than force billionaires, multimillionaires and people doing very well, to pay more. If it wasn't for all us little guys the filthy rich would be paying more. But us saps keep them sitting on piles of cash.
    2
  21. I do blame Biden and any president for mass check hand out. Despite need. Maybe it's easier to just give to everyone. Versus giving to needy and low income. Just like mass school debt forgiveness. There are thousands probably millions of people who don't need, the forgiveness. That's millions of dollars, that could have gone to the truly hurting loan owners. But when you hand it out to someone making near 100 grand a year, they definitely don't need the help. This is where I differ from any administration, that hands out financial aid.
    2
  22. But what Biden is trying to be, is a not trumper. He's trying to do what he's preached, work across the aisle. He doesn't want to be a ruler. He wants to be a man of, all, the people. This is why, he doesn't want to cram his ldeals onto the people. He wants there to be, bipartisan laws made. Not authoritarian laws.
    2
  23. My god his daughter/girlfriend has 2 BILLION plus to help the jerk. He should have easily been able to get a measly half a billion. Maybe they got his gene of not helping anyone but themselves. Sarah, are you saying judge Cannon needs a cannon? Or at least a hand with some relief? 🤪
    2
  24. HE CAME INTO THIS, CORRUPT! This is disgusting. The people standing up for musk or trump, are only interested in possible gratification money from the billionaire.
    2
  25. It's truly disgusting. I knew when it took so long,they were trying to help trump, without giving Biden the same abilities. Though I'm sure we all know, Biden would never abuse his power. Between trump and the crazy Republicans and the sick turds on the supreme Court. There's going to be an uprising. And it's not going to be the crazy right. Its going to be the pissed off the rest of us

  26. My son moved to MD because my dil works for the CIA and she'd be closer to work. And I remember my son telling me how good a job Hogan did to get them through the pandemic as well as possible. I remember when other states were trying to open early, he stayed closing for schools etc to make sure kids stayed safe. I was impressed as a Democrat.

  27. I don't understand about Carlson's interview. From what I've heard, Putin basically laughed him off. So how is Carlson getting any benefit out of the interview? Seems to me he's been seen as a flake by Putin and the Russian hierarchy. Maybe I'm missing something.

  28. 😄 Perfect 👍👍

  29. I was born in Germany in 52, and came here in the US in 56. My mom died 2 years ago, but she was 18 when I was born. She used to say Hitler was good for the morale of Germans in that time too. Just like what trump seems to mean for many Americans. But we certainly see the possibilities of a leader with either terrible advisors or their own authoritarian ideals. I still have family in Munich, that I've never seen since we left. But we weren't very much attached to mine and my mothers roots,as my adopted father's. Within the last several years, I've wished i had some contact with my cousins, aunts or uncles. We never had money for overseas trips, so I never have seen my German side of the family. But it does sound like things got better there. As for our government... craziness. I too hope they get their stuff together. Because seems even though we supposedly have power thru our vote. Most politicians know that they have certain powers to make it so only a certain type of person gets elected. So our power to elect someone best suited to be our voices, doesn't always end up being what we voted for.

  30. Well first, Musk himself didn't build the rocket, did he? He hired people to do it, right? So don't put yourself down, giving him so much credit for building rockets with his own 2 hands.
    2
  31. Omg, the lack of thinking and life experience. Totally available for the brainwashing from trump. Every GD reason they used is total bullshit! Good god! I get my NEWS!!!, from Twitter? Ya mean from all the thousands of personnel opinions? Not one of those people use any, common sense for real news. Our country is screwed if these people are the future.

  32.  @maryhalverson5713  😋 Hi Mary? , I'm relaxed. Wasn't even gonna write back. The smiley, pretty much told me you weren't serious, probably. Your username sounds familiar. Im sure we agree on most things. I watch the Bulwark, regular. Though they're Republicans against trump alone and not the party as a whole, till lately. But Tim and I are pretty much on the same wavelength, politically anyway. Haha. And his upbeat personality is refreshing. If he were a female, or a sweet animal, id call him a sweetheart too. As for Ali. I've heard her I believe, on CNN or MSNBC, reporting before. But not like the interview she had with Tim. And I still think she's a sweetheart. And I disagree with you some, that a good reporter could be a sweetheart. She's also very intelligent. From what I heard. Retains information really well and seems to be, very good at her job. The sweetheart part, is just her personality. He nature. That's all I meant. So that's why I was a little taken back by your comment. Not every guys a letch, because he calls someone some term of affection. Maybe you're a sweetheart too. And sorry for the dig that u don't hear that much. That was crass, cynical. I apologize. 🖖🌹🤗

  33.  @bliss4383  Yes, me too. But I still do watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC. They give the facts without embellishments and personal opinions. I try not to allow strict haters on either side to control my personal opinion. Usually we can see the happenings enough to make our own judgement. And yes. I do watch the legal analysis, because I want to know the true legal thoughts as well. Though sometimes they have a bias that I may try to get as many views as possible . I try never to follow just 1 group or utube analysts. 👍👍

  34. Well if Christie is so down on Haley. Why did he go out of his way to stand up for her during the debate? Why would he be down on her when she's obviously better than Desantrump or Ramaswampy. He's got something in mind for a future for himself. And if not with Haley, then who? Terrible Ron Desantrump or terrible trump. At least Haley doesn't sound like a damn authoritarian, like trump and Desantrump.

  35. Well what do you want the Dems to do? How about some realistic suggestions. Not your stupid half assed comments. You start your sentence with, " The Dems should, " then you finish off with, i don't even know what it would be. The GD Republicans have a triple play. The only thing to do is the little things they are doing. Speaking out. Y'all really PISS ME OFF, with your, " analysis", with 0 answers.

  36. Come on Linda. Don't pull a Liz Cheney. Biden said he'd do the Republican plan, then they dumped it because it may help Biden. It's totally the Republicans stopping it.
    2
  37. So why don't they just go to Mar Lago and do a lap dance for trump and then he'll get a chance to see exactly,,,what he's getting if he chooses one of them for VP. You can bet, it'll show trump how dedicated they are to him.

  38. We also have to remember, His first wife Ivana was an immigrant as well. According to Google. She did because a naturalized citizen after the kids were older but when they married she also was an immigrant. I wonder what's with him and female immigrants.
    2
  39.  @Moonscafe7  Agreed. Many soldiers married Oriental women because they are very... domesticated? Subservient. Maybe his immigrant wives, at least acted subservient, until they had him, then they pressed their tuff buttons and knew they could dump him and come away independent millionaire free women. Unless they signed a no fault divorce form. But I think Ivana took him for millions. Good for her.

  40. YES!!!!, prices are GD high. And Biden is the president now while prices are high. THE WORLDS PRICES ARE HIGH! IS THAT HIS FAULT TOO? Certain prices have come back to a realistic status. Some things are staying high. And who's to say prices wouldn't still be high, even if trump were in office. We came out of a year...of crap. Possibly 75% trumps doing. Why is EVERYONE, talking like we never had a year long, cluster fuck? And Biden walked into a booming economy and totally f,d it up. Why aren't any of YOU... putting it like that? Instead of condemning Biden because he's not a big blowhard, like trump.
    2
  41. Come on all of y'all. Everyone of you look to be up in grandparent years. If someone told you, your opinion is crap, because your old, would you step away from what you're doing now? I doubt it. Biden doesn't run the White House alone. He deals with things that are happening right now, not 20 or 30 years ago. And he has a multitude of advisors and people working with him. How has he done so well up till now, if he's so geezed up? At least he's sane and daily competent. How well do y'all remember everything that happened 20, 30 years ago? There's no doubt, if he gets reelected, this will be his last hooray. He cannot, be as bad as trump at his worst.

  42. I do think Tim Walz would be another younger version of Joe Biden. Less experience, but level headed like Biden. And, his rap is very acceptable to a wide field of voters. And, he honestly cares about the working class. I didn't feel that from Harris nearly as much. I think if they reversed roles, he could have beaten trump. But because Joe was giving the wheel to Harris, as he should have to be loyal. She didn't have it enough to pull back the 2020 Biden voters. 😢

  43. I don't realy understand the tic toc, issue. I hear it gets information. But I don't see what they get from tic-toc, that they don't get from any app. Like games or any app. I just watch on my phone, but I didn't download the app. There's so many ways, on line places get your basic information. But private? I don't get it.
    2
  44. They're basically trying to alline the Jan 6 th attackers with the 1776 declaration of independence fighters. Linking Democrats and Joe Biden to the British. And being against the American dream. Basically they'll say anything to free trump from a terrible place in the history books. Trump acts like he doesn't care how he looks to history. But oh he really does. Patel just looks like a person with insane tendencies. I hate to say it. But trump will have at least 2 years of almost total freedom to remake America. Unless Republicans who truly stand up to him, do so. The minority party won't have a prayer, alone.

  45. And ya know another thing this shows? It shows the world. This is what democracy brings. A country where half the population, or close to it. Can be taken in by a used car salesman. Made to donate their hard earned dollars to a man who is supposed to be a multi millionaire. This is America? We live in a world that knows everything that happens anywhere they want. And right now they're watching us. Remember when England had their djt? He's out. Gone. No more power. No more influence on government. And look at the US. Four years later and our djt still has a hold on half our government and 2/3s of the voting population. Lalalalalalalala. Insanity.

  46. Bannon may act like a big shot, going into prison. But once he's in there, he'll have no media, no mic, no audience that aren't other inmates. He's gonna stop talking pretty fast, no matter what he says on the outside.
    2
  47. ​ @marykr41 That comes with age. Except in the case of people like Djt. Biden does explain a bit about his younger years in government. Being just 71 and fazing into the,,, realizing limitations of age. You get less cocky and more thinking. Like I doubt he'd run between truck tires today 😂. But he has what trump doesn't. A working brain and a heart.
    2
  48. You're damn right Tim. There are millions of us out here, are tired of you doggin Joe. Mostly because, we love you Tim and and your dedication to stop djt, from reclaiming the white house. But I'm damn proud of D.L. , saying what he said. Giving Joe Biden, empathy and giving him credit for doing so much for the regular voters. As do MANY of us.
    2
  49. What really makes me wonder is, they prepped Joe for a week, for this? I heard they had a person play trump, with all the possible attacks. And this, is the result? Someone dropped the ball in the preparation of poor Joe.

  50.  @dilmeral  He proves that over and over and over again. And if he does remember, he takes the 5th. 😂
