  1. I posted an article explaining why it's NOT all Biden's fault, but reality is tough on you.
  2. The Constitution is on fire "Propagandist." Lit by GQP MAGAts.
  3. The Authoritarian relishes watching the destruction of democracy.
  4. How is that Karma? The Braves got hot at the right time. Nothing to do with Karma.
  5. Dude....since the 1960's, Virginia has elected a governor of the opposite party of the president. This is not a surprise.
  6. How incredibly stupid. Talk about brainwashed. Ridge and Spying no doubt fell for it. QAnon supporters gather over theory that JFK Jr. will emerge, announce Trump to be reinstated WWW.YAHOO.COM Some QAnon conspiracy theorists gathered in Dallas as a theory circulated that John F. Kennedy Jr. would reappear and announce Trump was reinstated.
  7. The “Rs” will do whatever it takes to protect their wealthy and corporate donor base, but when it comes to serving the best interests of the nations citizens, they turn their backs again and again. This is easily illustrated by the “Rs” recent responses to funding the Infrastructure measure. Originally it called for a rollback of the 2017 tax breaks that primarily benefited the wealthy and corporate sector which they rejected. Next there was a proposal to increase funding for the IRS to specifically go after wealthy and corporate tax cheats who have short changed this nation by trillions over the years. That too was rejected. Finally they “agreed” (by process of elimination, they dictated) using unspent pandemic emergency funds while we are seeing new surges with the Delta Strain and a new strain just discovered in Florida, one of the states with a low vaccination rate, that are forcing a return to restrictions, along with a program to go after “fraud” in Unemployment. Again spare those at the top and themselves by sacrificing the average citizen. That’s been the “R” way for a while now. Some Dems, like Sen . Manchin who claimed that S.1 (The For The People Act) was too “partisan”, but then doesn’t bat an eyelash at the “Rs” decidedly “partisan” agenda and activities, are also at fault. Instead he and other Dem holdouts should be pushing to raise or better yet, abolish the earnings cap. If that happened the trust would be self sustaining for decades - even centuries - and benefits could be increased to get seniors, the disabled, and survivors out of poverty. It is getting wearisome that that these two extremely popular programs are always trotted out like “sacrificial lambs” whenever an issue with the budget comes up. Social Security is a sustaining trust where benefits are paid for by both employee and employer contributions throughout an individual’s working life, not from the general fund. Same for Medicare. Therefore that part is, or is supposed to be, immune to deficit and debt caps. The funding part that does come out of the general budget is for administrative operations, which is tiny in comparison to the what the MICC, fossil fuel industry, Pharma, and other special interests receive, and has been already cut to the bone. The only other time the general fund comes into play is if there is a surplus in funds collected which is converted to treasury bonds that other programs and expenditures borrow against, and must repay. That has nothing to do with inflation or debt ceilings, though it is using our hard earned contributions as temporary form “collateral”. From their viewpoint, it does make sense to gut benefits because that makes for a larger treasury “piggy bank” other spending measures can use instead to avoid debt or deficit ceilings. So not only will workers pay income tax all their working lives to support the nation’s budget, but now more of their SS and Medicare contributions as well, which will never benefit them as they should. It is becoming increasingly infuriating that our elected representatives on “Capital Hill” (not a typo, I call it that because it’s pretty much bought and paid for by special interest PACs and lobbies, in major part thanks to the “Wealth United” ruling that gives corporations person-hood and opened up the floodgates for PACs to dump hundreds of millions into election campaigns, who put the interests of the privileged and corporate sector and their own selfish interests above their job of representing the citizens and nation whom they swore and oath to serve
  8. Better get your heads out of your asses Democrats, or back to 1950 we go. Takeaways from Tuesday's elections: Bad omens for Democrats WWW.YAHOO.COM The off-year elections for governor in Virginia and New Jersey tend to receive outsize attention, and the results are mined for...
  9. It's called free and fair elections asshole. The voter's rights bill will stop GQPers from changing the results when they lose and have a butthurt attack.
  10. OMG you're a fucking idiot. Air quality improved because Covid kept everyone inside for a long period of time. Fucking moron.
  11. You're happy because your Authoritarian dream is still alive.
