Why is Michael Cohen the only person to go down for stormy Daniels pay off?

Who told him to pay her? Why didn’t they go to prison?

Republicans really are the death party.

They’re not interested in governing to help improve the lives of all Americans. Their sole purpose is to destroy the government from the inside.

They lied about COVID. 700,000 dead people.
They lie about guns. 100,000 at least dead this year.
They lie about healthcare killing untold numbers of Americans every year.

Republicans have nothing positive or good for the country. I have to believe a majority of people think like me, and not like them.

Serious question.

What is taking so long re: the Matt Gaetz investigation into human trafficking?

Why do white men get away with this kind of crime against children?

A vote for republicans is a vote for death and destruction. 700,000 americans are dead.

republicans did NOT lift a finger to help anyone, republicans lied repeatedly costing more lives. If that is not bad enough, republicans are busy right now rigging the next election.

The bloated tic and his sycophants are rape and murder loving cowards that are burning down the planet and the criminal media is supplying the matches.

Let me see if I've got this straight.

Reporters have information that is vital to democracy but they withhold it for years instead of you know informing the public so they can enrich themselves?

How are these people any better than trump or the despicable bastards they write about?

It is not Congress who keeps america from progress.

It is not POTUS who keeps America from progressing. It is the wealthy donors that own Sinema and Manchin + Republicans.

STOP saying it’s Congress.

Is it too much for the media to ask any Republican what policy they're for?

What are their prescriptions for what ails Americans? And we can’t accept that tired old tax cuts for the rich BS.
I can’t point to a single thing they’re doing to actually fix the massive problems we are facing. I’m fed with with hearing what they’re against. Make them tell us what they’re for. I’d be willing to bet, some of them will say the quiet part out loud if asked directly.

Elected Republicans are about one thing and only 1 thing.

Redistributing money from the bottom and working people to their pockets. They will use any means necessary to achieve their objective.
Their only loyalty is to $. Not their country or democracy.

Rachel just said the votes will happen in the House tomorrow.

The BIF and the BBB

Update: the Speaker has scheduled the votes and we all know that doesn’t happen until she has the votes for passage.

Striketober: America's workers are rising up


https://conversationalist.org/2021/10/28/striketober-americas-workers-are-rising-up/

For months, the media has been reporting on a “labor shortage” that has purportedly left employers unable to fill jobs. Fast food restaurants have posted signs that read: “We are short-staffed. Please be patient with the staff that did show up. No one wants to work anymore.” Small business owners and corporate CEOs alike have gone on cable news to complain about the hundreds of thousands of people who prefer to live on government assistance rather than find a job. But the truth, said Kallas, is that there’s no shortage of labor. Rather, employers can’t find people to work for the wages they’re offering.

Saturation coverage of the labor shortage has come at the expense of amplifying the human cost of the government’s having cut unemployment benefits for 7.5 million workers on Labor Day, while an additional three million lost their weekly $300 pandemic unemployment assistance. Time magazine called it the “largest cutoff of unemployment benefits in history.” Just two weeks earlier, a flurry of newly published studies showed that states that chose to withdraw earlier from federal benefits did not succeed in pushing people back to work. Instead, they hurt their own economies as households cut their spending to compensate for the lost benefits.
