Big Money Got No Soul...

Preach my brothers in the Great White North...

If "donor cash" is truly what may drive the president out of the race, we are in big big trouble

Seriously, I know money rules in this fucked up election process we have. It's vomit worthy revolting to me. Elections are now running in the billions of dollars...BILLIONS!!!!

It has to, must stop. But how? How can we stop it when people like Katie Porter, who has spent her career trying to stop this, can't compete against the millions thrown against her by her own party. We lose these people to corporate Democrats like Schiff and yes, he's a product of the neo liberal corporate Democrat state. If calling him a "corporate" Democrat is a violation of DU rules then there's about 150 more in federal elected positions that will get me banned.

How can we stop this sickness in our politics if our own party is enslaved to it? Do we really think that even if we could get 2/3rds of the house and Senate along with the executive, if we hand our party that kind of power, are they really going to remedy Citizens United? Are they really going to reverse "corporate personhood"? Are they really going to do true campaign finance reform and take away all the perks for them that comes with it? Are they really going to reverse the last 2 republican administrations tax cuts to begin to fill we the citizens savings account and re-distribute, yes re-distribute, the wealth? Seriously, are they really really going to do it because I've been hearing them preach on it for 30 years but until President Joe Biden, AND a strong CPC, it was all half assed attempts with constant excuses.

I have no doubt they would fix abortion, that they would fix the right to vote, that they would fix SCOTUS, that they would install guardrails to protect the election process from the likes of what the fascists tried 4 years ago, gender and racial equality, individual rights. But would they really, and I mean REALLY, get money the fuck out of our election process? Is this addiction to money by ALL politicians, no matter ideology or party, why it was so easy for a bunch of buffoons', yes they're fucking idiiots, to nearly overthrow arguably the biggest and most successful democracy in history???

What President Biden has promised, and the man keeps his promises, is to fix all of those wealthy folks perks so their gravy is a little thinner and their pie is a little smaller including all of those things I listed and more if we re-elect him and give our party the power in both houses. Is this why President Joe Biden is being asked to step down because he is a real honest to goodness threat to big money?

Sounds to me like there's some big money who doesn't think his leash is short enough. That's not good for our party nor for a democracy on it's last breath. It truly scares me.

If you are yelling for President Biden to step down, flip the TV over to Fox Newz and see what they are saying about us

DO IT!!!
Turn it to THE MOST WATCHED CABLE NEWS/OPINION CHANNEL IN THE COUNTRY!! No matter how repulsive to you it may be, WAR IS UGLY!!!
You owe it to our party, you owe it to President Biden, you owe it to the rest of us, to see it. More importantly, You owe it to yourself to see what you are doing to all of us.
If you're really in this fight against tyranny, against white male dominance, for control of your own body, for fucks sake, for our children and grandchildren please.....
DO IT!!

FFS I'm done with this Romper Room BS!!!!

Apologies for an aberrant knee jerk reaction post, I know better

I responded to a post about the Holt interview yesterday after seeing a short clip on Nicole Wallace' program saying it would fan the flames of anti Biden rhetoric in our party. It was just the 1 minute clip on the BS "bullseye" question Holt so amateurishly tossed out there and President Bidens response. I am a die hard President Biden supporter (I worked for his first presidential campaign in '87, but that's another story requiring anger management) and I know better than to jump the gun until I have reasonable confidence in the facts.

After watching the entire interview (checked and remembered lol) President Biden put Lester holt in his corner, full stop.

I apologize to the Biden/Harris campaign (for what it's worth lol) and to any one (including whomever had the original post) who may have read it the wrong way. It was a foolish non-thinking response. I have never deviated from my strong support for the Biden/Harris campaign.

There I spanked myself. I blame it on it was just hot as fucking hell working on my roof yesterday

Possible Derecho forming in E IA with confirmed 70-100mph wind gusts and embedded tornadoes, headed to N IL and IN

Just a heads up. Derecho's are large complex's of thunderstorms spanning 1 to 2 hundred miles wide moving at up to 80 mph and can pack wind gusts of well over 100mph and spawn tornado's across their entire length. This ones not quite there but the Storm Prediction Center is using possible Derecho event in their forecast fore this evening now. The line is about 100 miles wide currently and ramping up. Unlike normal thunderstorms these large lines will continue after dark and probably strengthen and could last until daybreak or longer reaching central OH or farther ESE. July is ridge runner time in the Midwest and Great Lakes and this looks to be the most powerful MCS complex's yet this summer.

There is a tornado watch for this complex now in IA/IL/SWI/SMI and IN. North Central IL and far Southern WI are under the gun now and anywhere North of I70 in IN or OH including Southern Michigan will be possibly hit in the next 6 hours. Can't emphasize enough how fast these things can move once they mature, upwards of 80mph and they can get really big. These things will kick your door in before you hear them coming so if your in the path keep your weather radio nearby and charged up!



SUMMARY...A corridor of higher wind potential appears to be emerging
across east-central Iowa into northwestern Illinois. High-res
experimental guidance suggests wind gusts upwards of 80-90 mph and
embedded circulations will be possible over the next 1-2 hours.

DISCUSSION...Reflectivity and velocity data from KDVN shows a broad
circulation developing across the IA/WI/IL tri-state region, which
is believed a deepening MCV that is typically associated with a
mature MCS. To the southwest, a bowing segment is becoming
established across eastern IA. A diffuse baroclinic zone (denoted by
temperature/dewpoints in the 90s and upper 70s respectively lies
immediately downstream to the southeast of this emerging bow. This
should provide a focus for propagation over the next few hours.
Latest WoFS guidance and HRRR solutions have picked up on this trend
and suggest significant severe wind gusts (including gusts upwards
of 80-90 mph) are probable. Additionally, adequately strong (around
30 knots) low-level shear is in place and should support embedded
circulations - especially within any portions of the line that can
become more north-south oriented. Portions of WW 539 have been added
to tornado watch 541 to address this potential.

When the Biden/Harris ticket wins in Nov. the 8 year clown car cash cow the media has enjoyed will suddenly crash

This, IMO, is the driving force here. They (and the repukes) probably have a barrage of Democrats in Disarray stories, opinion pieces, ad's, you name it at the ready to jam the news cycles until Nov. They don't like President Biden because he's boring. The Trumponian water hole they've gorged themselves at is about to dry up. They are shaking in their proverbial boots.
