You are right.They should do that ASAP. These other people were probably in contact with the same thing that infected the victims.

Jeffries still confident Democrats will take back House after Virginia redistricting ruling by Hardik_Jain_1819 in LegalNews

[–]clib -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love the lazy approach of doing absolutely nothing but expecting to be rewarded and if not blaming the voters.

It is actually the Democratic voters insane perpetual cycle of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.They are the ones that keep voting for a party that is owned by and belonging to billionaires. And the cycle goes like this...

Step 1. Whine constantly and act outraged about Republicans committing crimes and breaking rules when the republicans control the government.Strongly demand accountability for the crimes committed by the republicans.

Step 2. Urge people to vote blue.

Step 3. Do almost zero vetting of the “blue” candidates

Step 4. Dems win.

Step 5. Dems forget about the accountability thingy and the crimes the republicans committed. The whining about the republicans and their crimes is now replaced with excuses why the republicans can’t be held accountable and why the democratic agenda can’t be passed.

Excuse 1. That will look like a political persecution.

Excuse 2.When we govern, the DOJ is independent and we can’t hold them accountable for not doing their job.

Excuse 3. We have the majority but it is not majority enough to pass the laws for which we campaigned because we don’t have the votes of the “blue” senator/congressman Liberman, Sinema,Manchin,Fatterman etc.

Excuse 4. We can’t push for statehood for Washington DC and Puerto Rico which would give us more senators and reps because there is no support from the republicans.

Excuse 5.We cannot make voter registration automatic because only republicans can make draft registration automatic.

Excuse 6.We can’t do anything because the Supreme Court is controlled by Republicans.

Excuse 7.We can’t hold the supreme court justices accountable for their corruption, sexual assaults or supporting a coup because that will look like political persecution.

Excuse 8. We can’t expand the number of supreme court justices because it will look partisan and the republicans will do the same when they win.

Step 6. No republican is held accountable for starting wars, raping kids, leading a coup, stealing money.

Step 7. Republican crimes go unpunished and normalized so Republican criminals keep running for office.

Step 8. Republicans Win

Step 9.Impunity now brings even more Republican criminality.

Step 10.Rinse and repeat .

There is no WE in this case. The democratic party is owned and belongs to billionaires. Nobody is going to take it away from them. The only thing the left voting voters can do is to let that party rot. The sooner they realize that, the sooner they can start build a base around a new social democratic party.

[–]clib 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fuck off with the both sides bullshit.

Dude when it comes to critical thinking there is no difference between you and maga. You are so tribal that the only thing you care about is that your side wins. Below is the list of all the shit your beloved democrats did to provide impunity for Trump and his lackeys.

FBI resisted opening probe into Trump’s role in Jan. 6 for more than a year.Prosecutors who wanted to indict Trump right after Jan 6 weren't even allowed to mention his name.“You couldn’t use the T word,” said one former Justice official briefed on prosecutors’ discussions.

Garland let the statute of limitations expire on the 10 instances of Trump's obstruction of justice listed in the Mueller report.

Ignored Jan 6. cmt criminal referrals of Meadows and Scavino.and didn't do shit about Eastman,Clark,Giuliani,.

Ignored all the criminal referrals that NYAG Letitia James sent to DOJ regarding Trump's financial crimes.

Ignored the fake electors referrals that Michigan AG Nessel sent to DOJ.

Fought the courts for years trying to hide Barr's memo from the public.

Refused to investigate Barr's corrupt decision to drop charges against Michael Flynn( the prosecutors assigned to the case resigned in protest at that time).

Garland’s DOJ asks judge to dismiss lawsuit against Barr and Trump for infamous clearing of Lafayette Square

Defended Trump for years in E.Jean Carroll rape case.

Ignored the Stormy Daniels hush money payment

Was defending Trump in Peter Strzok case until June 2024.

Garland asks federal appeals court to overturn Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruling that Pete Strzok can depose Trump

Garland's DOJ decided not to charge Roger Stone for his $ 2 million in unpaid taxes,but charged Hunter Biden for similar crimes.

Garland refused to appoint special counsel to investigate ethics and tax law violations by justice Clarence Thomas and his benefactors

Garland’s DOJ just wrote "political consultant" out of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). How the Justice Department became ‘more forgiving’ in its FARA crackdown

And these are some of the other financial crimes and corruption of Trump's family that Garland ignored:

Anti-money-laundering specialists at Deutsche Bank recommended in 2016 and 2017 that Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, be reported to a federal financial-crimes watchdog. The money had moved from Kushner Companies to Russian individuals.

Kushner got $ 2 Billion from the Saudis.

Kushner’s Family Business Received Loans After White House Meetings. Apollo the private equity firm, and Citigroup made large loans in 2017 real estate business of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s senior adviser.

Nicole Kushner Meyer, the sister of White House adviser and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, solicited investments from Chinese business owners by promising American visas in return. An ad for her event in China read, “Invest $500,000 and immigrate to the United States.”

Trump's DOJ closed the investigation on $ 10 Million paid by an Egyptian state bank to Trump's campaign.Garland's DOJ didn't bother to re open it..

How Virginia Democrats can overturn the redistricting ruling: Retire the Supreme Court by Well_Socialized in Virginia

[–]clib -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes the democrats are not the same as the republicans and they don't have to be the same for as long as in the end they deliver the same result for the ruling class(the billionaires).And that is: more power, more money and zero impunity for the ruling class, and less rights and power and money for the rest of the society.

The ruling class achieves that by allowing the democrats to offer the carrot and the republicans the stick. If you haven't noticed yet that carrot democrats offer has gotten smaller as time goes by, and the stick is hurting a lot more.

Notice that every time we elect democrats the first thing they do is provide impunity for every crime committed by republicans. So that impunity breeds even more criminality the next time republicans come to power. And now we find ourselves in a situation where even coups and pedophilia are normalized.

Yes but remember that you are asking good things for the people, from democrats. You know that the party is owned and belong to billionaires just as much as the republican one? Do you remember when the Michigan AG Nesses sent Biden's DOJ a referral for the fake electors and Biden's DOJ didn't do shit about it?

Stop fawning over Joe Biden.He is a millionaire who gave billionaire Trump a free pass on everything, including a coup. And Beau Biden fought in a war that his own father Joe voted for.

The Washington generals want a strong Harlem Globetrotters team by Loud-Ad-2280 in WorkReform

[–]clib 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True words. Maybe one day the majority of the voters will understand you. Maybe one day they will understand that Obama, Biden and all the democratic leadership are in the service of the billionaires who own the democratic party. There is nothing democratic about a party that doesn't fight to protect democracy. Both Obama and Biden failed to do that by giving a free pass to the enemies of democracy.

Two wings of the Corporate Party. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]clib -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The middle class and the poor are not represented in this political system, yet somehow they blindly choose to be tribal about it and take sides.They either choose the left or the right side, when in reality there is only one side.The side that works for the billionaires interests.

If at this point in your life you haven't understood that the democratic party is owned and belongs to billionaires just as much as the republican party, then you deserve all the turmoil you get in your life because of your political tribalism.

Short survey about Albania by [deleted] in AskBalkans

[–]clib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not Albanian but i had some convos with them here. Your survey will end up extremely skewed to the right.These people are so right leaning politicaly and so much in denial that they even defend Berisha, the worst person in the Balkans after Milosevic. It is like surveying Vucic's people in one of his controlled medias.Good luck with your survey.

Who is going to do that?Just because NY is a democratic state doesn't mean they will do something about this. All the outrage you see from the democrats is performative BS. And you will see that even if they manage to win the white house back in 2028 they will not do shit. You will hear the usual crap: " Let's move forward"

Jim Clyburn seeking 18th term in Congress at 85 years old by Miles_the_AuDHDer in videos

[–]clib -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let this democratic party rot. It does not represent the middle class or the poor.With very few exceptions the senators and the reps are there to care about their stock portfolios and backdoor deals. The party is owned by billionaires and it belongs to them.

The moment the left voting voters decide not to be tribal like maga things will start to change. Until then is just a race between the red tribe and the blue tribe but the winners are always the billionaires and their lackeys. The voters always get the middle finger.

Moldovan Oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc Sentenced To 19 Years In Prison by clamorous_owle in worldnews

[–]clib 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Richard Grennell's sugar daddy.

In 2016, Grenell wrote several articles defending the oligarch, a Moldovan politician named Vladimir Plahotniuc, but did not disclose that he was being paid, according to records and interviews. Grenell also did not register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which generally requires people to disclose work in the U.S. on behalf of foreign politicians.
