newdayneeded's JournalI get that it was a rightwing shit show.
But I think the Dems could have used it to our advantage. Back room secret talks with 10 of the most moderate repub members, decide on which one is moderate or easy to work with. Then have one of the other 10 nominate him. When their name is called those 10 plus the dems vote for and elect him/her.
This scenario would at least achieve some moderation in the house. I don't see it as us helping them, more like us helping america with turning our eyes away from the lunatics.
Who knows, maybe this secretly was tried or talked about.
Democrat, democratic
I just don't get why some here are so offended by the description of our party.
If somebody came up to me daily and said "hey, you're a member of the Democrat party" I'd look right at them and "yes, I absolutely am!"
I see zero reason to get offended if someone uses Democrat or democratic. I just don't get the outrage here over it.
To me it's like someone referring to my truck as a Chevy or a Chevrolet.
3 minutes
that's what I give McCarthy before they raise an individual vote to oust him. (if he gets voted in with these new concessions)
National Guard
if it's true that he wanted to send 10000 NG troops to the capital. I think we are gonna hear some day soon about him giving a nuke order that was turned down by the generals. So glad this clown isn't pres anymore!
Where it ends.
I just read a thread about Reagan starting the repub shit show. I have thoughts of the rights ultimate end game:
They want absolutely zero taxes for anybody over a million a year income and all large corporations.
More and more middle class are losing hourly pay status and are put on salary. that means longer hours for the same income. We will have to work even longer to eventually pay all the taxes.
They want women back in the kitchens barefoot and having babies. I had a former boss about 10 years ago tell me the moment america started going downhill was when women became liberated. Yes, they actually think this!
They want to completely eliminate all social programs for the poor, social security, even unemployment. They figure they can do that because they'll be the rich ones anyway.
They want to say this out loud, but instead think it every waking minute. They want blacks and gays hanging from trees. I'm afraid Trump taught them that they can get away with a lot more racism then they already thought. Reference Ron Johnson's ads from the recent election. They were jaw dropping!
I see Powell is at it again!
Helping the middle class worker by again increasing rates yesterday....today, the dow is down 633. now we get to a watch grand or more drop of our 401k balance.
Plus a huge percentage of middle class were thinking of getting out of their apartment and finally getting a house will take a pass because of interest rates. Of course, it won't matter to them anyway because in a few months do to Powell's decisions, layoffs will start.
Economists need to stop looking at the 1960s playbook and instead just let the economy grow!
About Democrats and Sinema
What bugs me the most about her leaving is usually its from the party morphing and losing the politicians viewpoint.
The Dems have been running on the same points to champion most Americans for decades, hell, before she was born. The party hasn't changed its views. she knew this well before signing up to be in the party.
To see the morphing I'm talking about look at the GOP over the last 30 years. It doesn't remotely resemble itself from the past. All except giving billionaires tax breaks.
Maybe the first shoe?
Manchin switches to repub now,, giving repubs the majority, with him getting promised he retains his leadership positions?
It seems like even when we win, we lose.
It's time to make our move!
Donny is mortally wounded, his standing with most repubs is getting weaker by the day.
I think its now time for the DNC to organize all dem governors, senators, and house members to get one single message going. Every TV interview, every statement made, every Twitter post should start referring to them as the Trump party.
This will barb most repubs to instinctively react by denying or even flat out saying "no its not". The goal of our message is to get trump to strike back so much that the repubs themselves just agree to shut him down.
This is referred to as psyops, and now is the time to strike!
15 bucks for 5.1 gallons of gas.
Thank you Joe Biden!
Fuck you repubs! Your artificially inflated gas prices are now coming back to normal.
