Steven Bannon, walking sack of (you fill in the lines) is always going to be this way. Democrats have to get on the same page and go on total war footing. Enough is enough. Obama faced two wars and a depression and got us out of it with a strong economy which Trump too and ran into the ground by not dealing with Covid. Biden took on Covid and got us through this in this. Now we have a roaring economy. We have to shout this message out! We have to go on offense!
Obama saved the banks but not the average person with foreclosed home. For so many the economy was not strong. But wow it sure paved the way for all the corporations buying up homes and making them sky high rentals
I seem to remember that Democrats had a control of both House and Senate right after Obama took office for his first term. Democrats really dropped the ball with weakness of spirit and pork when they probably could have gotten a really great new health care package instead of the watered down version we ended with among other things. It was a real disgrace. Their majority in the House was quickly reversed maybe 2 years later or less and great opportunities were lost.
G.P., I suggest we focus on 2021-2022 when Democrats controlled both Chambers and the White House. You might recall the House passed hundreds of progressive bills, all of which stalled in the Senate, even those that were bundled into a reconciliation package that required only 50 votes (the VP casting the tie-breaking vote) because Manchin and Sinema sank the package. The outcome was the eventual passage of the vastly edited-down Inflation Reduction Act.
I mention this recent history because a 2025 Senate majority 1) would be far more receptive than the previous majority to filibuster reform and/or carve-outs and 2) would not include Manchin or Sinema who mostly blocked legislation that was not bi-partisan.
Accordingly, were we to re-take the House, hold our 49 Senate seats, flip 1 Republican-held seat, and hold the White House—all doable—we could see historical, transformative change over the next two years. Note I haven’t even mentioned that the party-at-large has become far more receptive to expanding the Court, which, among a host of reforms, likely would include overturning Citizens United.
You seem to forget that Mitch launched a wall of dirty tricks and made up bullschittery, much in the name of socialism (racism). I imagine that Obama fell for the same bipartisanship goal of all Dems (Joe more than most) and suffered with every breath he took. Repubs repay bipartisanship efforts with the most vile pushback.
Yeah, it should have been so easy to wrench the government and the economy back on track during a historic economic meltdown created by GOP failed wars and bank fraud. Yeah, The Dems were totally lame after the first Black President beat the (hopefully) Final Bush Dynasty candidate and then just inexplicably wimped out.
Hunh? Did you forget to put the /s on your comment? Or are you just a poor Putti masquerading as a b0t?
I know. I am just so tired and losing hope and these pseudo polite "I seem to remember" trolls just make my skin crawl. I will still do my shifts for AOC, and all the other progressives left to their own by the gd useless DNC.
But you're right. It's just exhausting "going high" all the gd time.
But that’s just greed. They have bought up nursing homes and Vetinary hospitals and cut costs and raised prices. That’s spectaculars seeing an opportunity and going for it. It’s evil I know but how does Obama or Biden control that. It’s a huge problem where I am.
He and Warren and a few other stalwarts tried to make it good for the foreclosed and not just the foreclosing, but "too big too fail" was already a fait accompli thanks to smashing of anti-trust under the puppet regime of Reagan. I agree that Obama seemed to have a lot of deals with the devil, but that is the state of the Union after decades of corporate takeover. Plus, I believe his Harvard schooling may have made him believe too much of the Exceptionalism that we All fall to. Still, he and Joe fought for so much and had such a short window and majority to get it through.
Just like Biden this time. Whoa! He's been incredible!
BUT now he's "Genocide Joe." And that is not changing.
That is true and a huge oversight. My point being that Trump thought he was a better President for the economy when a great economy he had from the start
Just wait, he’s coming up on additional charges in the state of NY for the “build the wall” scam (one or more of his compatriots in this have pled guilty already)….he was pardoned by TFFFG on the Federal charges regarding this, but not at the state level….so remains to be seen what comes of this & how long he can drag this one out as well—and if it goes to trial and he is found guilty, who knows what he might face as a sentence. Hope he eventually gets his just desserts.
Hopefully not, since this is a state indictment, not federal. Not that they wouldn’t try to overturn existing laws/jurisdictions to make it disappear….wonder what, if any, pushback there would be? Once I would count on SCOTUS to do the legal/right things….now, not so much.
Because it is in the middle of the sentencing guidelines. He was convicted, the maximum sentence is up to one year.
"If the individual is prosecuted and convicted, violations of § 192 are punishable by a fine of up to $100,000 and imprisonment “for not less than one month nor more than twelve months.” The federal sentencing guidelines also inform the severity of the penalties."
It is my understanding that every Republican President since (including?) Reagan increased the deficit while in office but each Democrat President has decreased the deficit while in office. If true this fact needs to be shouted from the highest mountain.

I dream
Jeri, Were my vision not likely within reach I would dream, but because it’s feasible I fight.
Very well said!
Say it! Lay it Out!
First step in making it happen.
Patrice, I very much appreciate your reply.

Agree, disagree, state your case. Devolving to name calling and bullying makes you look like part of the problem, not the solution, you know?
I know. I am just so tired and losing hope and these pseudo polite "I seem to remember" trolls just make my skin crawl. I will still do my shifts for AOC, and all the other progressives left to their own by the gd useless DNC.

Sadly true, Tina
That is true and a huge oversight. My point being that Trump thought he was a better President for the economy when a great economy he had from the start
He thought he was better because he is a Narcissist.
And why is the loose Bannon only getting four months?
Just wait, he’s coming up on additional charges in the state of NY for the “build the wall” scam (one or more of his compatriots in this have pled guilty already)….he was pardoned by TFFFG on the Federal charges regarding this, but not at the state level….so remains to be seen what comes of this & how long he can drag this one out as well—and if it goes to trial and he is found guilty, who knows what he might face as a sentence.

Hope springs eternal, if not my hair.
He will be home free if chump gets back in, they will do whatever it takes to protect the destroyers
Hopefully not, since this is a state indictment, not federal. Not that they wouldn’t try to overturn existing laws/jurisdictions to make it disappear….wonder what, if any, pushback there would be? Once I would count on SCOTUS to do the legal/right things….now, not so much.
No rule, law or tradition stands in their way.
Because it is in the middle of the sentencing guidelines. He was convicted, the maximum sentence is up to one year.
"If the individual is prosecuted and convicted, violations of § 192 are punishable by a fine of up to $100,000 and imprisonment “for not less than one month nor more than twelve months.” The federal sentencing guidelines also inform the severity of the penalties."
Thank you for informing me those facts about guidelines, Ally; my tuition check is in the mail.

Flatout reject these false assertions.
But surely you can't reject the walking sack of . . . . assertion.
It is my understanding that every Republican President since (including?) Reagan increased the deficit while in office but each Democrat President has decreased the deficit while in office. If true this fact needs to be shouted from the highest mountain.
