Quote from: Bruno on September 12, 2025, 04:11:46 AMI just hope the crazy gun nuts notice that America has gotten bored with school shootings, and if they really want to get people's attention, they'll have to shoot a right-wing commentator.

Or a CEO, although it does seem like the Blackstone CEO was forgotten about pretty quickly.

The question is, would his replacement be more competent?  Vance is certainly a more compliant puppet for the oligarchs, but he doesn't have anywhere near the charisma of the orange turd.

I wish Liberals could separate "good at mocking Trump" from "would make a good president" but that's fine for now, Newsom is definitely doing a good job of mocking Trump.

Also, is Trump breaking up with Netanyahu going to help Palestine?

Quote from: Pergamos on February 07, 2025, 06:30:59 PMThe new DNC chair was giving a speech about how there are good billionaires, so I don't really think they're going to be focusing on the parts of the economy that help working people...

Speaking about that, you see Musk's thing on USAID?

Food and medical aid to Gaza is now zero (0) dollars.

How'd that protest work out, Sparky?   :lulz:

I live in a solidly blue state, my 3rd party vote for president made no difference in the result, WA's electoral votes still went to Harris, my down ballot votes were all Dem, and may have made a difference since my county is a little more conservative than normal for the state.  What Trump is doing to Gaza is what Harris would have done to Gaza, he's just bragging about it.

What, Harris said she would cut aid to zero?

Or did she say she'd ethnically cleanse Gaza?

Or do you just have some extraordinary ability to read her mind?

She said she'd continue funding and supporting Israel, as they ethnically cleansed Gaza, the result for Gazans is the same.

Did she say she'd forcibly remove all 2.1 million Gazans?  And state that they would have no right to return?

You did this.

I know you're Canadian originally, so not understanding how the electoral college works is more excuseable than it is for someone born here.  My vote was counted towards Kamala Harris, despite my having voted 3rd party, because winner takes all the electoral votes in a state.  I didn't do this.  Your vote meanwhile, was counted for Trump, despite you having voted for Harris.  You did this, you didn't convince enough of your neighbors to vote with you, so your vote went for the new dictator.

Please provide a link to a quotation from Ken Martin about these "good billionaires," if it is your intention to initiate a discussion about his speech.


I'm having trouble finding the full speech, but here's the quote in question.

https://packaged-media.redd.it/8o1em3pntkge1/pb/m2-res_478p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1739224800&s=c88947d5dd1244eb1e1aaa500d5554a82e51932f

Thanks for posting the link.

Now then, as I am not anyone's stenographer, I'm paraphrasing when I write that I heard Ken Martin publicly say that there are good billionaires out there who share the Democratic Party's values, and the party is willing to accept their money.

I, personally, have no reason to not accept Ken Martin's statement at face value. For what it's worth, I am not a member of the Democratic Party. Therefore, "I have no skin in the game."

Sounds accurate to me.

taxes are collected by employers automatically, in most cases, the state could instruct California employers to submit income taxes directly to them, instead of to the Fed.

Musk's salute seems like one more step towards the rift, when he gets deported Trump can use that as evidence he's against fascism after all.

12 is a one and a two, when you add those together you get three, and if you add one two to three you get five.  It's not even a convoluted enough line to five to be all that meaningful.

I honestly hope they deny aid to California, because Newsom has suggested that doing so would lead to California denying the fed payment of taxes.  I'd definitely like to see California keep that money and use it to fight fires.
