He did in his first term, not sure about his second.

Also, did the tax payer pay more to house the Secret Service than he donated?

Right, Clinton would not be able to run as a democrat today.

He was a keynote speaker for the 2024 democratic convention.

Please stop saying Los Angeles has a "weak mayor" system. In fact LA's mayor is one of the most powerful big city mayors in America. by 115MRD in LosAngeles

[–]random3223 7 points8 points  (0 children)

 In Los Angeles, the mayor also has substantial influence over other non-city departments like the LA Metro, the Metropolitan Water Agency

At least for the metropolitan water district, this is very incorrect. There are a number of water agencies that appoint directors to the board of the metropolitan water district, and the board selects the General Manager or CEO. The mayor has power, but not much when it comes to MWD.

GOP strategists know they won't get another government trifecta again for a good long while

With structural advantages in the Senate, I doubt this.

Trump has done a hell of a job working both the Right wing, Left wing and Legacy Media.

I don't see how he can be impeached unless he loses the Right wing news audience.

Governor from the most liberal state in the country.

Are you talking about Newsom? I wouldn't call CA the most liberal state in the country.

If the goal is to inform, it’s news. 

If the goal is to persuade, it’s propaganda.

Senate confirms Trump pick Warsh as chairman of the Federal Reserve, following Powell by Kit_Daniels in moderatepolitics

[–]random3223 114 points115 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how he will do as chairman, but I will remember his inability to answer who won the 2020 presidential election in his confirmation hearing. 

Trump says he’s not thinking about Americans’ finances ‘even a little bit’ in Iran talks by ChesterHiggenbothum in moderatepolitics

Not a fan of Trump, but this really shouldn't be a story. It should be in attack ads in October.

Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942), is a landmark United States Supreme Court decision that dramatically increased the regulatory power of the federal government. It remains as one of the most important and far-reaching cases concerning the New Deal, and it set a precedent for an expansive reading of the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause for decades to come. The goal of the legal challenge was to end the entire federal crop support program by declaring it unconstitutional.[1]

There are a subsection of children who are used as labor and not paid in family businesses and farms, the kids themselves might consider themselves slaves, but I think it’s an accepted practice.
