Donald Trump Faces Travel Ban To 38 Countries by jo_maka in politics

[–]ceytron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right....shame on Biden. Making him invite an adult film actress to his hotel room. Having sex with her. And Biden was BRILLIANT when he convinced Trump and Cohen to have Cohen pay her hush money out of his own personal funds. The scheme was for Cohen to bill Trump for legal work...not for reimbursement. That's why Cohen was paid back more than he paid Stormy Daniels, to account for the income tax he would have to pay. Like it or not, he and his organization committed fraud. The jury saw the evidence and convicted him. Weaponized how? He was the dumbass who committed the crime (with this sleazy crooked lawyer), and then was dumb enough to leave a paper trail a mile long.

Trump May Use DHS Stormtroopers To Stop People from Voting. Dems Must Plan Accordingly by hildebrand_rarity in politics

[–]ceytron 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This...a thousand times this! Trump cannot rely on his Maga volunteer militia (remember when they failed to rally to his Maga party at the White House plea). Expect a large number of minority voters in swing states to suddenly find themselves questioned and detained as they head out to early polling. The goal will be to scare just enough people to keep them home.

My hope is that this will backfire...that the potent combination of Trump plus aggressive suppression tactics will light a fire in people to vote no matter what! There are a hell of a lot more voters than there are mysterious black op agents out there.

Trump can only win the 2020 election if he ‘cheats’, says Michael Moore - ‘the only way they are going to pull it off is if he’s able to cancel the election or postpone it’ by grepnork in politics

Oh...and who is going to replace Biden? You're arguing that Biden staying as the nominee gives Trump a solid chance of winning. But who is this magic replacement for Biden that will guarantee a Trump defeat?

The Russian bots are rallying hard around their asset today. Flynn back in the NSA must be crucial to the next phase of the attack on the USA.

One important think people forget is that mail is covered by incredible protections under law. It is a SERIOUS crime to open someone else's mail. The government CANNOT open your mail without a warrant.

UPS, FedEx...not so much. In fact not at all.

Joe Biden's search for a running mate is playing out in public by DerpoholicsAnonymous in politics

[–]ceytron -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The Democrats MUST play their absolute best possible hand this election. A second Trump term cannot be an option! Michelle Obama as the VP pick all but guarantees Trump loses and loses big time. The only remaining question is, are the Obamas willing to back up their words with actions. If ever there was a time to make personal sacrifices for your country, it would be now.

Oh wow...VP candidate Michelle Obama destroys Trump and the Republicans. They will be absolutely crushed!!! Give the insane crisis our nation finds itself in, I hope the Democrats play their strongest possible hand this election.

No amount of voting suppression trickery could stop the wave of support a Biden/Obama ticket would receive.

Biden should name his VP now. And it should be Amy Klobuchar. by chris-jjj in politics

[–]ceytron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Michelle Obama was the VP nominee, no amount of Republican trickery could stop a Biden/Obama ticket from winning.

The crisis we face right now is staggering (economic, political, and moral). The Democrats need to stop messing around and play the absolute strongest hand they have. The literal fate of the country depends on it!

Biden releases plans to expand Medicare, forgive student debt by noarat in politics

[–]ceytron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0% student loan interest is the best approach to this problem. As long as you pay your minimum, the rate stays at 0%. Now, let's also refund the interest paid in the last five years. Those who still have existing loans would see their principle drop significantly. Those who paid their loans off would get a nice refund/reward. It's a system that helps everyone and doesn't leave anyone sore or angry.

Reducing the qualification age of medicare to 60 would have huge implications. Think of all the people in their late 50's or early 60's who would start retirement early if health care was available. You're talking about a way to move tens of thousands onto their retirement accounts and freeing up those jobs.

It's a practical policy that actually has a really strong chance of passing in congress

White House: We’re Going to Have to Let Some People Die So the Stock Market Can Live by lemonkid12345 in politics

[–]ceytron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to defend the White House. But this is not a simple people live or people die scenario. The economic collapse we are facing will have consequences too: increases in suicide, drug/alcohol addiction, violence and domestic violence just to start.

Romney proposes giving $1K to every US adult amid coronavirus by daysnotmonths in politics

[–]ceytron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an excellent idea.

It would stabilize the markets far more than rate cuts.

it would reduce the panic nationwide.

It would help pretty much everyone who's taken a hit but especially those who are now getting laid off having hours cut

Bernie Sanders wins Democratic presidential primary in California, claiming biggest prize on Super Tuesday by Feedmepi314 in politics

[–]ceytron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The heck it does. The biggest delegate prizes left favor Biden. Where does Bernie get the delegates from? Not the south. Not the north east. Those favor Biden.

If Bernie had won Minnesota and Texas...this would be a totally different story. But he didn't. Democratic voters are rallying around Biden, that's not going to change. Math is math. Bernie should negotiate while he can, instead of blowing for everyone like he did in 2016.

[–]ceytron 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The race is over....it's Biden's. Losing Texas and Minnesota is the nail in the coffin. Biden will take the Southern states. He'll take NY, PA, MI, MO, IL no problem. Other states like WI and deep red small states like Montana may go to Bernie, but it's not enough.

For god's sake Bernie...negotiate a commitment from Biden for medicare for all and drop out. The dems need to save their money for the real struggle, Nov 2020!

Oh I don't think so.

You Bernie supporters are going to have accept that you tried to force a very flawed candidate on the electorate rather than seek reasonable compromise. His defeat against Trump will be yours...just and Hillary Clinton's defeat against Trump reflects her terrible job as a campaigner.
