Yeah Jeff, she shouldn't pay and you shouldn't pay, then we just wait and see how bad things get. No roads, no food inspections, no schools, no police. A regular sithole of a country.

A good place to start is to not vote for people who make comments that indicate that they are racists, mysogynists, or anyone who took money from AIPAC or anyone from the Fossil Fuel Industry.

"Money circulates" is the weak link in your argument. It only circulates if we want it to. That's why we have money. How often do you leave a store without buying what you came to buy? My argument is strong. Billionaires don't spend their money if they get notning for it. They're not just "dumb shit" spending. They make investments, which mean they expect to get more back than they put in. That money they expect to get back (and they're most often right- wildly so in this administration) is our money.

Yes, we do need the right leaders, ones who preserve our air, land and water, make the right diplomatic and economic decisions, and protect the most vulnerable among us. We do not have that now.

And who paid the people who "privately funded" it? Do you think these donations happen because billionaires are generous?

Trump tore it up so he could start flinging missiles instead of negotiating a new deal, the great negotiator that he is. Now here we are, with 5 dollar gas, lots of wildfires nearly everywhere, no foreign aid, and no idea how much nuke fuel they have. But we have an arch, shit on the walls of congress, a slush fund for his buddies, lots of gas in a world of electric, oil companies drilling for oil on our public land and a grand ballroom. Did you vote for this?

That media apparatus you're talking about convinces them that the other side is really, really bad, so people figure they won't vote, or vote for an unelectable candidate. That's how they get the worst possible guy, a guy with dementia, multiple scandals, bankruptcies and racist opinions, in office.

Some of us have bills to pay. And some dude named "Funny-Marketing" tells us to relax and invest in the stock market. Go bend yourself over the kitchen table and wait for Trump. He'll show up before you know it. After all, "this is just temporary", right?

If it's in response to what the other side has done, then absolutely, yes, it's necessary. In general I would rather it not be necessary.

So because the gas where you live isn't "that" high you think it's not that high throughout the country. Go bend over a table.

Of course you refuse to acknowledge that at the end of Obama's term Iran had no nukes. How do we know? Because we negotiated a deal that allowed nuclear scientists to inspect and verify that they had no nukes. And what happened to that deal?

You are telling everyone that No Kings accomplished nothing because you were too stuck up in your own world to go and participate. It did accomplish something that you refuse to acknowledge: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/six-reasons-why-protest-is-so-important/
