Mitch McConnell. Wonder how he likes them apples? Panama, Greenland, Canada, Gaetz, Hegseth, Gabbard, and the roars of approval from Moscow and Putin. Very curious dive into the dumpster by the GOP. What's happened to them?

Well, one thing: 2010's Citizens United decision enabled politicians to be bought, lock, stock, and barrel.

Absolutely!!!! Except that Citizens United should be renamed Billionaires United.

It's Newspeak, the language of the (Anti) Republican Party.

Rick is a trollтАжdonтАЩt feed it and perhaps it will go away!

Why do people here feel the need to respond to this commenter? IтАЩve seen him disrupt the discussion numerous times. When someone is spouting nonsense, itтАЩs okay to ignore them. This is the policy I use whenever the idiot who was just elected opens his mouth as well. DonтАЩt give these folks more of a megaphone than they already have.

Exactly RS just keeps coming like a Russian bot

To all those who keep using the word troll, that's nothing but denial. I'll give you an example.

Many people here, post and post and post different ideas and answer questions and add their thoughts, etc. And most of their thoughts align with the previous posters.

A troll is defined by you people who does exactly the same thing, but has a different opinion than you and many of the other followers. That's a troll according to you

Let me give you a little DIFFERENT perspective ABOUT BILLIONAIRES IN THE CABINET. not that any of us are experts in deciding what and what not makes a good Cabinet. I could say the same about most cabinets in recent history

But let me say this

You should not be afraid of billionaires becoming politicians

They're already billionaires

What should WORRY you is the average citizen That becomes a Cabinet member or a congress person earning a government salary for 20 years or so who becomes a multimillionaire!!!

Much more concerning

Specifically for Rick... who has no friends and just tries to disrupt. We need to put some billionaires in their place. Greedy, selfish, thank less people who have made their money of the sweat of hardworking people. Example Musk's family came from his father winning a emerald mine in a poker game. Then African slaves were forced to work the mine. Explains his racists remarks and his mother's who was asked about people who couldn't afford more children having children. Her comment was priceless, they should have more kids and not go out to dinner or see a movie. Bottom line.... people mean nothing to them ...they want more babies so another group can pay their TAXES and serve them. Not what I call good people. I hear pitchforks are on sale.

DonтАЩt be jealous. They took the money from an Emerald mine and turn it into being the richest person on the planet by about $200 billion. What a loser

I think youтАЩre a provocateur- aka as a troll with a bigger vocabulary and good writing skills. Same RW talking points and buzzwords, though. Same desire to get people wound up.

Actually he does not have a bigger vocabulary and good writing skills, which is the giveaway to what he really is.

Kim I have never proactively posted anything here I only post a reply to a post that I read and in which I take Umbrage or see in a different light. I'm not here as an antagonist. I'm here as I see things differently than most of the people on this forum.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. You have the ability to disagree with my opinion discard my opinion, block my opinion, etc.. over the past few days I've been getting a lot of likes on my commentary. Where for a while I was getting nothing but as you put it antagonistic responses.

I have been an independent voter for over 40 years. I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

If you would like more of an explanation to those points of view fine but I feel like I mirror what most people in this country feel like

And by the way, let me just say this because I think it's important

I am not a Trump fan. I am a Trump policy fan. I don't listen to his antics. I don't care for his mouthpiece many times, but his policies worked for more than a great share of Americans during his first administration and if not for Covid, he would just be leaving the White House now not be going back in. Prices were low on food and gas and mortgage rates and interest rate rates. The streets were safer. The world had no major wars. And did I ask you to do something risky?

Google Trump administration accomplishments. I don't look at the verbiage from a man I look at the policies of the man or woman. And act accordingly.

As a quick example, I voted for Bill Clinton twice despite his Marriott of both marital violations affairs and $850,000 non-disclosure document to cover up one and the incident in the White House while president and married with an employee and lied about it under oath

Voted him for him anyway, because he did his best for the voters of America for the citizens of America

No, because that was generated by donations from ordinary people.

Expand full comment

If you're talking about Kamalas $2 billion and think it came from ordinary people think again. Obviously you don't watch a lot of different networks or investigate things like this. As an example about oh I guess I'm not good with time but I'm gonna say two months before the election Hollywood celebrities raise some $25 million for him by George Clooney and two weeks later threw them under the bus. They have some heavy donators and billionaires just like the Republicans do.

If that's not what you're referring to, please excuse me

And PS: I donтАЩt watch any networks. I get my news from credible media.

Expand full comment

And who determines it's credulity ?

Expand full comment

Credibility, not credulity. I do.

Expand full comment

IтАЩll tell you where it didnтАЩt come from. A quarter billion of it didnтАЩt come from a neofascist multi-billionaire.

Expand full comment

Who is defining him as Neil fascist? A neo fascist doesn't waste $40 billion trying to restore free speech to America. In which he succeeded.

Expand full comment

Comical. He endorsed the AFD. He most definitely did not restore free speech to America. Adios.

Expand full comment

HereтАЩs the list. IтАЩm good with most of these organizations. And George ClooneyтАЩs celebrity donation went to Joe Biden, not to Kamala Harris. The two billion she raised was AFTER Mr. Biden belatedly withdrew from the race.

Wait a minute he be belatedly withdrew????? Lmao

In most countries that would've been called a coup.

So much for credibility or credulity so Kamala Harris had zero money, 107 days before the election and raised $2 billion? Half of that money raise was for Kamala Harris maybe and the other half was will do anything so that Trump doesn't get elected. Some candidate.?!

And she still managed to lose by a wide margin and 49 of 50 states became redder
