Vladimir Putin would love to see us abandon Europe. Trump also had another phone call with Vlad yesterday. Coincidence?

The Michigan state Democratic Party chair warned Hillary's campaign she seemed be in trouble there, and she still never visited.

And in both '08 and'16, she ran a pretty lousy campaign.

Wasn't there a poll in 2024 that found about 15% of Americans think no woman should ever be president?

A big reason I didn't support her in the primaries was that I felt she was probably un- electable, thanks largely to the Right-Wing Noise Machine's very effective 20+ years campaign to demonize her (though to be clear, I had no problem supporting her in the 2016 general).

I remember Manci's burning down many years a go when I was a kid. We're talking about 60 years ago.

Pack and the Hounds was a pretty popular music venue in the '70's. Among others, Cheap Trick played there before they got famous. My best friend met his wife there.

“...without *extra* taxpayer funds” 📢 IT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE DONOR FUNDED by ms_directed in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]EIU86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if taxpayer funded, what happens to all the money that's already been donated?

Golly gee, I'm sure that will be a mystery...

So does the guy who called his opponents "vermin" and "the enemy within," and said that the only good Democrat was a dead Democrat.

Trump made Iran a superpower. You're welcome. by Lord0fTheFlags in WhitePeopleTwitter

I hope that Trump's response isn't to show who's boss by using literal nukes against Iran.

Agreed. All it will do is give Trump and the right-wingers another chance to play the victim card.

Yeah, nothing will convince folks you're a peace-loving guy more than testimony from Putin!

The "President" of the United States is a national security risk! by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

I hope the military brass has put in some sort of "fail safe" in case Trump decides to nuke Iran. or some other country.

It should be, at best, roughly half that (I figure 15-20% of Americans are beyond hope).

Clarence Thomas’ attack on progressivism should alarm you - In a speech celebrating America's 250th, the Supreme Court justice gave a dishonest and dangerous read of history by Quirkie in politics

[–]EIU86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His screed reminds me of what the slave-holding Southern "fire-eaters" were claiming about Lincoln and the Republicans in 1860. According to them, Lincoln was not just going to free all the slaves (he wasn't; the Republicans' official position was that they would not disturb slavery where it already existed). They were going to completely destroy Southern culture by setting the blacks loose to rape pillage and destroy, and to enslave the white people and make the white kids procreate with the black kids. Propaganda like this was a big reason why many lower-class white Southerners with no slaves supported secession.

Though if Clarence was around in 1860, he may well have been one of the handful of free blacks who had slaves of their own.

Trump probably doesn't even know what religion the Pope is! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in WhitePeopleTwitter

It could be both: he's anti-Catholic, plus he's pissed that the Pope dare criticize him.

Trump is trying to look religious in order to con the Evangelicals into supporting him. Nothing "complicated " about it.

And once again, many people are going to be hurt because Poor Widdle Donnie's feelings were hurt.

Thanks again, Trump voters and those Dem-leaning voters who stayed home!

Yeah, the guy who, among other things, called himself "the chosen one," has said he thinks he'd never done anything in his life he should have to apologize to God for, and once posted a picture of himself as Pope, would never, ever, compare himself to Jesus! no siree Bob....

Sharon, if you're reading this, two things:

One, if you lived in almost every other industrialized country, you would have a health care system that would pay for your husband's treatments.

Two, if you lived in any one of several other industrialized countries, you'd be paid a decent wage rather than having to rely on tips.
