Retired . Grandpa. Former member of the GOP. Came to my senses in 2016. Now a Dem - always centrist. Lover of books , history, science , family and my country. Staying anonymous so my opinions impact no one else close to me.
It’s time for Democrats to allow the country to experience and feel the Trump pain. Let Trump stop the subsidies and Snap and the impact of all his deranged policies and orders. Let it all go and take inventory in the next elections. Good luck MAGA.

Never forget Jan6 and how Trump still spends time pushing election interference and denials while persecuting those who sought to bring him to justice - as well as the Epstein Documents and felonies. Better he stop working and resign to save the country

It might not matter what the Senate does, since Trump and Missing Mike’s Johnson have disbanded the House of Representatives

Missing Mike’s Johnson first needs to check in with Trump to see which ass cheek he has to kiss first. Trump will never allow those subsidies
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Not too shabby Sweden for a “ socialist “ country. Actually pretty capitalist in terms of trade and engineering. A sane mix of capitalism and socialism looks better than pure reliance on either.

It’s official, Trump supports criminals and coup leaders. His pardons should make for good campaign copy in future elections… if any?

Yup. Impulsive, childish dimwit does sum it up nicely. I’d add corrupt felon and leader of a coup attempt but it’s all in there.

Look it up- most groceries have gone up in price . Eggs prices declined 1.3% mostly due to fewer cases of avian flu which can change. Tariffs are impacting the supply chains of many products and the effects have only just started. Don’t buy the lies, but buy eggs before they get hit next lol. 😂

Does the idiot in the Oval Office realize that since insurance companies provide virtually all the healthcare plans in the US including plans for Medicare Advantage and Medicaid these are the only plans available? Maybe he wants a China plan to step in?

Governor Newsome, if you drive California economic growth and employment to be in the top 5 of the countries states you will win the presidency in a landslide. You have what it takes, but results matter, so show us a California renaissance.

Republicans rejected a very reasonable Dem offer to extend ACA subsidies a year and form a bi partisan commission to address Don’t be foolish Dems. You are negotiating with fascist supporters. They wouldn’t negotiate tarrifs, Venezuela,DOGE cuts, and Epstein documents. Make MAGA feel the pain.

Democratic socialism allows capitalism and economic freedom. Communism is an extreme form of socialism where ALL production and property is owned by the state. Many countries use democratic socialism effectively. The US uses taxes to provide military, healthcare and retirement socialist security.

Would you trust Dormant Donny to honor a commitment to approve the ACA subsidies after Dems. vote to help the GOP reopen the government? No chance. Ball in the GOP court . They have the House, Senate and POTUS, they need to address Dem. Issues.

Building a city is not the same as it being a city of immigrants. How about suggesting that the greatness of NYC is the rich history AND the contributions of blacks who helped build it, overcame slavery and joined the multitudes of immigrants who strengthen it. Blacks were more than bricklayers.
Immigrants didn't build NYC. Uncredited, enslaved Africans, and their descendants (Black people) did, not immigrants.
There is nothing "metaphorical" about that misrepresentation. The key distinction in being an immigrant is the voluntary nature.
Revisionist history.

And there it is… it’s not socialism… it’s racism… a Muslim NYC like in the Tammany days when it was the Irish, the Italians/Papists, then later the Hispanics and blacks in NYC. Got it Tuberville, plain as day.
Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

Socialism and capitalism are tools used by free democratic nations to create prosperity. Sometimes you need a hammer and sometimes a screwdriver will do.
the thing is despite 80 years of conservative propaganda, americans do not hate the concept of government. this is in no way a small government nation. im not saying america is full on socialism, but it utterly rejects the con notion of little to no govt in our lives.
