The very thought is something the plutocrats requested

And will give gratuity for after the election. See how that works?

Biden will be fine. He’s under a SHIT TON of pressure. tRump’s only pressure was whether to lie about porking a porn star or $35 insulin. He chose to lie about both of those and 3 dozen more. So, same old tRumpshit (pretty sure that should be a compound word at this point.)

Who is this wavy hands ahole on MSNBC?

(Am a few minutes behind — had to tend to the doggies)

Asking about a replacement candidate from voters in Maricopa County? The respondents are sane, but the questioner is abhorrent.

This, as Biden is making inroads with younger voters. Want to know what makes them sit up straight and listen? Why, discussions of Project 2025, of course.

One debate is one debate. A fascist with bad hair and unlimited corruption is forever a bad choice. Not voting is the worst choice.

Middle class has been devastated by tRump

It’s the uncertainty. tRump has been a chaos agent. People grew uptight, humorless, and mean over his term. I have to explain to my niece and nephew that our politics are not normal since tRump came along. He’s not running as a normal presidential candidate — just read about Project 2025.

They're hacking the Constitution on purpose

The Alitos, Thomases, Leos, etc know it well, like a tool, like a can opener to rip open our common bonds to steal from the masses. They’re robbing the country in plain sight. Stealing time, money, and health from The People.

The United States of America was not conceived as a theocratic autocracy, and they know that, too.

Musk is a shitbird absolutist.

And his tweet of the Nazi w/birds is still up, 1.5 years later.

I just chipped in — for the first time ever — over at Media Matters.

Twitter has become a gated sewer of hate with a janky timeline, all thanks to him.

Oh, we know that, but many tRumpers are living in denial

And are extremely uninformed.

Just recently spoke with a family member who believes she can support Ukraine AND tRump. She says tRump stands up to dictators. Seriously, it’s like they live on another planet.

She’s unaware of his slavish behavior at the Helsinki summit, doesn’t know about his love letters to lil Kim, and so on. He didn’t sleep with the porn star, no, and only vaguely aware of Karen McDougal.

I could reasonably blame it all on Fix News watching, but that’s not the entirety of how this ignorance comes about. I was appalled by the AP coverage running on the local Austin ABC affiliate’s website. More of a sanitized, pass-through of his guns-are-great message than any true reporting. If Biden showed up 2+ hours late, threatened the sitting president, then froze mid-speech with an expression of panic washing over his face, well, we’d have heard nothing at all about his overall message. KVUE is owned by Tegna and I’ve linked to the archive of the AP piece below for y’all’s perusal.

Us MSNBC viewers and DU newshounds are waaay more informed than the average voter, and leap years ahead of anyone that accepts Fox as some sort of news source.

DeJoy's aggravated malfeasance on display - Senate Hearing LIVE



I can’t live comment much this morning, but earlier I heard him say the Postal Service didn’t have a purpose until he got involved.
