Oh well at least Bezos had a well attended wedding. That is what is important in America, not health care or nutrition for children or kidnapping of brown and black people. Meanwhile the planet just keeps getting hotter and hotter, Gaza is being ethnically cleansed and Ukraine is suffering great losses.
National Enquirer headlines and the gossip shows in the United States media contribute to making this shit seem more important than helping others. brainwashing without a clue...
they may soon find out they need help and guess what, it may not be there.
All the while these rich fucks (RFs) are cruising in Venice in a gondola. Do your think these RFs understand or care about what climate change is contributing to flooding in Venice? It was bad in 2009.
Trump is using the typical gangland tactic of intimidation, openly warning any wandering Republican senators that they will be primaried if they don't vote for his obscene bill. The slimy VP stands by in case he is required for his tie-breaking vote as July 4 nears.
Approximately 23,000 active-duty military families in the U.S. receive SNAP benefits, according to Census figures. A report from the Congressional Budget Office also indicates that more than 20,000 military families are eligible for SNAP. Additionally, about 1.2 million veterans utilize SNAP benefits.
The Department of Agriculture estimates that 213,000 members of the National Guard and Reserve are also eligible for SNAP.
He’s gonna hurt the very people he’s depending on to enforce his deportation schemes.
Agreed, but the cult really isn't paying attention. They blindly go off the cliff arguing their belief in the Dear Leader all the way down. I predict that cult believers will crash and STILL argue their leader didn't do that to them.
The fact that tens of millions of MAGA Americans are all in on Trumps cruelty, indecency, and sanctimony is something that is very hard to understand and will be equally hard for our country to recover from. The Founders would be horrified.
I wonder why?A good immigration bill was interred with raising the wages of border patrol agents. Written by Senator Chris Murphy, Senator Sinema, Senator from Oklahoma. This bill if it would have passed, could it stop all the trouble with immigration enforcement? Why did Senator Schumer, let it happen?
Hope you'll forgive (or tolerate, at least) a subject swap to swing back to your drumbeat about the "rancid, dying status quo" of our political duopoly.
Nate Silver posts that Zorhan Mamdani "delivered the Democratic establishment the thrashing it deserved" in last week's NYC mayoral primary.
"It backed another tired, entitled candidate in Andrew Cuomo. Voters finally had enough. . . . It’s hard not to be reminded of the past three presidential races. . . . Zohran thoroughly earned the win, and Cuomo and the Democratic establishment thoroughly earned the loss."
It’s why Trump gets away with everything, and I mean everything. The cruelty is the point, and MAGA loves him for every single cruel, vulgar, demeaning, racist, xenophobic word and deed. They revel in it and glory in it. Because of that, he can do no wrong while he is doing the most unspeakable evil. And my fellow Christians revel in the cruelty the most. That says a lot about our country and its faith, and none of it is good.
The American people are of no concern when it comes to the owners and controllers of global finance and capital. They float above countries, govts and populations. They are fix minded on money and power and only those. On a national level the American people will continue to be bled dry. On a global level investments, developments, focus and the future have all migrated to the global south. The " west's" days in the sun are over.
This former newspaper reporter who covered campaign appearances by three presidents in 1980, government and politics learned early in his career that many people don't vote with their brains, but their wallets. This bill will hit them where it hurts and hopefully cause a housecleaning of Congress in 2026. Since I live in NC even though Tillis is not running some well financed republican will. Also don't count out Lara Trump, the President's daughter-in-law and a North Carolina native
The Democrats should quit acting like there is a constitution , rule of law and democracy. You are in a full blown dictatorship. Trump is just rolling along , ignoring court orders, deporting folks on a daily basis, putting the screws to his own supporters. Three branches of government ??? The executive branch has got the legislative branch in tow and the Judicial branch is slowly been consumed. NIne justices in the Supreme Court , six are just neutered lackeys . Slowly the executive branch will be in full control and you will be living under the dictates of one.
Another replay of Tim Snyder's 2017 "On Tyranny" in full display. Should be mandatory reading for all of us who yearn for democracy - and then do something about it.

Barf.

The one Republican who knows she can resist is Murkowski, who already WAS primaried once and won the general election anyway.
Interestingly, Republicans in NYC nominated a candidate for mayor who isn't a Trumpie.
Fear is a wonderfu, cheap weapon.

They don't believe it, and Trump doesn't care.
Good reporting, Ron
Sounds like how the GOP feel about holding Town Halls with their constituents...
..." He wanted them “to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” He wanted to “put them in trauma.”
Don’t get fooled. It’s exactly what you think.
It's not like anyone who wasn't paying attention couldn't see this coming...
Agreed, but the cult really isn't paying attention. They blindly go off the cliff arguing their belief in the Dear Leader all the way down. I predict that cult believers will crash and STILL argue their leader didn't do that to them.
That is what cults do. (witness Jim Jones and David Koresh among a host of others)
And the Mamdani Cult is acting the same way here in NYC.
The fact that tens of millions of MAGA Americans are all in on Trumps cruelty, indecency, and sanctimony is something that is very hard to understand and will be equally hard for our country to recover from. The Founders would be horrified.
So many of them claim to be Christians, and yet, the God they supposedly worship condemns the rich who "pant after the dust on the poor man's head".
"The MAGA movement’s thirst for trauma... " Perfect.

Though he doesn't necessarily see a third-party surge for the 2028 cycle, Silver notes that "generational turnover in the Democratic Party is coming whether they like it or not." https://www.natesilver.net/p/zohran-delivered-the-democratic-establishment
I welcome it!
Long overdue
The Democratic establishment didn't bring back Cuomo. Cuomo bullied the Democratic establishment. As he has for 20 years.
Mamdani will be great for Republican fundraising.
In NYC? During Trumps/Republicans hate era and starvation-healthcare loss for doublt digit MILLIONS Of people, including Military and Vets
Also, Charlie, thank you for these cross posts.
thanks you, charlie!

I think the Republicans are afraid of those Russian windows accidents. And then there may be a lot of compromising videos out there.
