She really is, her authenticity really underscores that. 30 minutes ago, wanna-b-fanboy said: Solid article about Warren with a Canadian twist. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5190801 Quote many of Warren's arguments, it is populist, which is why Trump almost certainly fears her. He poses as a populist, while rewarding the rich. She's the real thing. Quote while her poll numbers rise, Trump's are flat. It's a lovely thing to see intelligent argument, unbending principle and policy go up against demagoguery, nativism and vulgar name-calling. To see a seriously brainy woman go toe to toe with a self-proclaimed "stable genius." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 This statement by Warren, last night, alone.....made it a good nite for her Quote Who is this economy really working for?” she asked. “It’s doing great for a thinner and thinner slice at the top. It’s doing great for giant drug companies. It’s just not doing great for people who are trying to get a prescription filled. It’s doing great for people who want to invest in private prisons, just not for the African-Americans and the Latinos whose families are torn apart, whose lives are destroyed, and whose communities are ruined. It's doing great for giant oil companies that want to drill everywhere, just not for the rest of us who are watching climate change bear down upon us. When you’ve got a government, when you’ve got an economy that does great for those with money and isn’t doing great for everyone else, that is corruption, pure and simple. We need to call it out. We need to attack it head on, and we need to make structural change.” AtlanticRiderFan and Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Fundraisers for medical bills and accompanying expenses account for a third of campaigns on GoFundMe, the crowdsourcing website's CEO Rob Solomon told MPR News. The site has become a go-to option for individuals who need help paying their physicians. According to GoFundMe, the site hosts 250,000-plus medical campaigns each year, with more than $650 million raised across those campaigns. Some examples of GoFundMe campaigns reviewed by MPR News include an uninsured man from Charleston, S.C., with prostate cancer who sought $50,000 to pay mounting bills." https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/medical-bills-account-for-1-in-3-gofundme-campaigns.html What absolute garbage.

Fatty Liver Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 20 hours ago, Tracker said: I think we are watching the end of the American empire and the emergence of a neo-nazi mindset in both the current administration and far too many American citizens. Trump believes that he is above the law and can run the government and policies by fiat with the Congress and Senate serving as rubber stamps. The religious right believes that America was somehow established as a theocracy and a Christian one at that. To this end, they believe with some justification, that Trump will serve as a "useful idiot" to give fundamentalist "Christians" primacy in all government functions and policy. They are willing to overlook Trump's admitted sexual assaults, marital unfaithfulness, racism and support of white supremacists so long as he delivers the oppression to "non-Christians" according to their wishes. Several of the fundamentalists have openly said that they believe democracy is incompatible with their brand of religion. Despite America's long history of the rule of law and constitutional democracy, there are those who would support a dictatorship as long as they are the ones who benefit. In Nazi Germany, there were Jews who supported Hitler, and British and Americans who were enthusiastic supporters of Hitler, and that dark underside of societies will always will be there. I think you're taking this a little too far, it may seem like there is little resistance within the US but there is plenty, for every Canadian that thinks the last couple of years in the White House is absolutely crazy, there are at least 10 good Americans that hold similar views. The correction for Trump is going to be harsh and brutal as he's created tremendous hatred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still overwhelming support for Trump among white males and this is in spite of all his incompetence, racism and gynophobia . These supporters believe that Trump has the right as president to do anything he pleases without regard for the law, congress or senate. This same sort of mindset is functionally identical to the 1930's Germans. Some 40% of the American public think Trump is doing a good job.

Mark F Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) lol. Trump's advisor, and son in law. This is from an Israeli newspaper. Not any kind of pro palestinian outfit at all. Quote Kushner's 'economic peace' plan repeatedly claims that occupied Palestine can model itself after Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. That's certainly ambitious – but also ignorant, absurd and even dangerous Probably worse than that.
