No matter what happens it won't end herbal abortions, it will only force it underground and out of the economy.

The federal government can't receive income from anything like this at all, even the revenues they receive are not saved or used to fund spending. This whole sovereign fund nonsense Trump is pushing is only a smoke screen to cover up that he is the one receiving these bribes for himself. #learnMMT

It's disgusting it's ever been that high.

We are not the ones afraid of change and transparency, in fact we would like to see real change for the better and more transparency from our government. We don't need or want the empty and dishonest rhetoric we have been getting from the Trump Administration and Musk's DOGE liars.

Millions of people will lose their jobs because of willful ignorance of this Administration over the next few months. We are looking at a major economic crisis.

Accusing their opponents of which they are most guilty is just how they have operated since Lee Atwater and the Nixon Administration. It's a primary component of the 'Big Lie' propaganda technique that they have been using for decades.

I don't think you are an honest actor then. Biden did nothing like the fake electoral scheme or try to overturn an election. He didn't ignore Congress and do what he wanted for his own financial gain. Trump is an open fascist yet you refuse to see it. He has a real disdain for democracy.
January 28, 2025 at 11:05 PM
Which of course is nonsense because you overly broaden the definitions until they are irrelevant. Let's get more specific and see if you think your argument holds up. Do you think Trump is acting like a fascist or not? Name a lefty that is acting like that.
January 28, 2025 at 8:41 AM
That's not a logical argument, it's projection.
January 28, 2025 at 8:19 AM
How so? I don't think you can logically defend your ridiculous premise.

I love that I've found the world of open source so I can use older equipment that even when new is available at lower cost because it doesn't work on Windows 11. This has saved me a ton of money and it works as good if not better. I love the Linux operating systems especially the Cinnamon desktop.

Worse yet, it was an irrational promise of lower gas and egg prices which will not happen because what a president does.
January 22, 2025 at 7:54 AM
Exactly what we see happening with the incoming administration.

Every member of Congress broke their oath of office today by ignoring the 14th Amendment Section III disqualification of an insurrectionist provisions. They should have had a vote to remove that disqualification at the very least.
January 7, 2025 at 1:19 AM
I don't think that is the issue at all. Personally, I'm more disappointed in the fact that we elected an insurrectionist and nobody seems willing to follow the Constitution to the letter and call for a vote in Congress to at least try to remove the disqualification.

She needs to retire completely because her ideas are old and stale.

Just more projection from you Trump cultists. I bet that you haven't even noticed that as soon as he was elected that he abandoned his promises to bring down prices and filled his incoming administration with loyalist and billionaires none of which have any expertise in those jobs.

I wouldn't count on it, I'm sure they will just blame immigrants for their problems somehow.
December 28, 2024 at 3:31 AM
Of course, nobody was expecting you to do any reading about anything. The willful ignorance in you requires that you refuse to expand your base of information on which to draw an informed conclusion. It's why we all think Trump supporters are stupid.

Agreed, my life experiences have put me on the left of center politically. I love the socialized medical care I've been getting without any out of pocket expense from the VA since the for-profit employment linked health insurance system left me broke and without medical care when needed the most.

You can read Marx if you want. There is nothing stopping you from expanding your horizons. It doesn't mean you have to agree with everything. I don't think Marx got everything right but can see how he got to the point where he did. I noticed that you didn't object to any of the other readings.

Yep, healthcare, education and infrastructure spending is great public investments which produce far more economic and social benefits to societies than they initially cost. Trumpers can't understand that government can make good investments with great ROI's too.

I get paid by the federal government through direct payment to my checking account just like I get my Social Security benefits. My medical bills get paid directly to the providers by the federal government. I pay no premiums, deductibles or copays at all. I love my socialized medical benefit.
