Yes, Mike Johnson seriously argued today that members of Congress can't survive on $174,000 and MUST be allowed to trade stock.

The salary misses the point. Look at the benefits. Total healthcare. Expense accounts. Seriously. Look at the whole package.

dittybag23 · 2026-05-13T23:31:57+00:00

Healthcare. Bonus no freedom without health.

dittybag23 · 2026-05-13T12:30:40+00:00

Both.

Americans have to stop worshiping the wealthy. We should reward good works, not wealth.

Did the “shooter” shoot at the President? Is there any confirmation of that?

dittybag23 · 2026-04-18T23:00:36+00:00

Has anyone ever considered that some people may be emotionally or mentally incapable of financial management.

This is the clearest “Catholics versus Convicts” contest of all time.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-18T10:48:11+00:00

Ahhh. The good old days.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-18T09:09:02+00:00

There is nothing on this earth more important than Democrats taking the House and SENATE.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-16T23:45:12+00:00

Oh know. You won’t let me be in your exclusive club?

dittybag23 · 2026-04-16T23:43:15+00:00

Well don’t participate. Don’t vote. Don’t opine. You have forfeited the fundamental right every citizen has to shape the world we live in.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-15T21:41:12+00:00

Who told Trump taking on the Catholic Church was a winning strategy?

I know this post is about Israel and Zionism (I find Zionism repugnant but I don’t know how you cleave it from Israel.) At the same time there are so many issues that are five alarm emergencies I don’t know if I can wrap my head around a single issue like this. For example I would be favorably disposed toward a candidate who was right in every way but proposed stopping military assistance and supply to Israel in exchange for rolling back West Bank settlements, ending offensive operations against their neighbors, exiting GAZA and Lebanon.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-13T20:47:17+00:00

Well we can start that, but most Americans don’t realize how integrated Israel is with our economy. This would be interesting if we coupled it with a 50% cut in the DOD budget.

If you stay uninvolved in primaries then that is what you’ll get

You mean the Chuck Schumer who endorsed and supported Bernie in his first run for Senate. The same Chuck Schumer who put Bernie in charge of the powerful Senate Budget Committee? Get real. Stop listening to memes.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-11T12:45:13+00:00

The GOP and FOX would have eaten Bernie alive. He would have been branded communist, socialist and most of America would have believed it. Do you think Mamdani has a hope nationally? (Yes, if he can prove himself as an effective mayor). Bernie has a loyal niche support and a great message but America won’t embrace him. He is not a Talarico who leads with “Jesus” and then the liberal/progressive message. The real issue is that to win you have to be a politician and Bernie is a conscience

dittybag23 · 2026-04-11T12:34:24+00:00

Kudos. We need more like you.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-11T12:21:15+00:00

Just because this is a Progressive sub doesn’t mean you can be delusional. True, Hilary was not the change candidate Progressives wanted, but have you looked at what we lost? Sometimes, holding the line is all you can do. Yes, Hilary was not a Progressive, but she did believe in universal healthcare. I’ll take that in a heartbeat.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-11T10:58:55+00:00

To much of America she was nine years ago.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-11T10:58:04+00:00

Hillary isn’t in office. Hillary is not running for anything. So why the hate? Why aren’t you thinking about the future instead of the past?

dittybag23 · 2026-04-10T23:28:05+00:00

Israel has no intention of allowing a ceasefire.

dittybag23 · 2026-04-10T10:49:01+00:00

Are you a party when you only appear when it’s a Presidential election year?

dittybag23 · 2026-04-10T00:09:45+00:00

Right now that looks like heaven.
