We ABSOLUTELY become an authoritarian country if Trump wins. He will BURN this country DOWN to the ground. He just doesn't give a **** about anything aside from himself. And MAGA is willing to do anything required to give him the keys to the car. THEY will burn this country down to the ground because THEY don't give a **** about anything aside from themselves anymore.

Media: Trump declines Zelensky's invite to Ukraine over 'conflict of interests' https://www.yahoo.com/news/media-trump-declines-zelenskys-invite-220021806.html Of course he's blowing off Ukraine because of a conflict of interest... LICKING VLADIMIR PUTIN'S BOOTS on a DAILY BASIS in the hopes of obtaining a TRUMP TOWER MOSCOW and a TRUMP TOWER ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA... is definitely a conflict of interest. "Nightmare scenario": Legal scholars alarmed over Trump's "plot to abuse his power" for revenge https://www.yahoo.com/news/nightmare-scenario-legal-scholars-alarmed-210504076.html And MAGA Fascist Scumbags don't give a **** about this. In fact, they WANT it, and are ENCOURAGING it.

Required Daily Reading... or you have to spend 10 days in jail and a $10K fine (once Republican Theo-Fascists have placed Dictator Trump back in control)... Also, all non-Christians including pagans, atheists, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists will be required to convert to Christianity (any denomination will do...) or they will be burned alive at the stake FYI: https://www.dailyscripture.net/daily-meditation/ https://www.americanbible.org/resources/daily-bible-reading/ https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading This ALSO will be monitored by Covenant EYES so you better start reading right now...

The GOP is all about lining their own pockets in any way that they possibly can (and staying in power in order to do so) and **** everybody else, **** the budget, **** balancing the budget, **** the country, **** Democracy, **** the truth, **** Social Security, **** freedom and free will, **** the Constitution of the United States... As long as they can stay in power, no matter the cost (in lies/ fascism/ or otherwise), tell everyone how they are required to live their lives (according to their Bible readings), and line their pockets with tax cuts that benefit only them... They good.

It already did. In 2020.

Democrats will be all too eager to: 1) Increase the social security income-level taxation amount from wherever it is right now ($125K, or is that an old #?), up to... unlimited would be great but Republicans won't go for that. That resolves funding for social security. If we did indeed have unlimited income-levels, we could actually REDUCE the ss tax RATE which would lower taxes for lower and middle incomes and increase ss taxes ONLY for those above the new breakeven line of the new tax rate/ income-level that matched the old tax rate/ max income level of $125K. 2) Increase min business tax rate from 21% to 24% (the 24% rate is what chambers of commerce REQUESTED in the 2017 tax cuts but for whatever reason Trump-alone demanded it at 21%...). Also, a minimum annual rate of 15% REGARDLESS of prior year loss carry-forwards, etc... They will agree to cutting spending elsewhere if they get these as part of the balanced budget deal. 3) Reduction in Inheritance Tax limits (IE: from $12 mill+ subject to inheritance tax down to $5 mill+ subject to inheritance tax...), as an offset to increased State and Local Tax limits. Etc... They'll bargain. Yes, they'll try to protect as much social spending as they can but... if you mix tax increases with spending cuts that gets bipartisan backing... They'll buy into it.

Trump's big payback: The plot for MAGA's revenge should scare voters straight https://www.yahoo.com/news/trumps-big-payback-plot-magas-140001797.html

They wouldn't. I know these things...

I came from a blue collar family that didn't prize education at all. I was the first to get a college degree. Isn't that true of most Midwest areas? "We're hard-working blue collar people...". And yes, some are in educated families and guide towards higher education rather than blue collar jobs but... Does that make an impact in Christian communities? Hard-work/ blue collar ethic rather than higher ed ethic? Remember also that European Jews were blocked from farming/ other types of blue collar types of jobs... Banking and finance are higher education... that tends to point an entire community in one specific direction...

All they need to do is... Balance the budget. That requires bipartisanship, and both limits on spending AS WELL AS tax increases. Guess who's going to block that from happening? Hint: (it ain't Biden, or Democrats...).

I think what it REALLY says, and this is just my opinion... is that the opinion polls are a year too early. By September of next year Trump will be sinking like a rock as most Americans come to their senses and decide they want Democracy after all rather than the violent fascist dictatorship that ****wad Trump and his scumbag MAGA MF'ers keep promising us.

A 3rd party vote is a vote for Trump. FYI.

Context usually matters... And not everyone is immersed in history to a depth they understand context. So yes... those Germans are definitely precision engineers! 😉

Pete Buttigieg or Gavin Newsome or Lots of other possibilities as well... Have some imagination guys...

With zero Detroit representation (so far)...

I think they are a definite contender for the Super Bowl... As it stands at the moment... IMO... it's between the Chiefs and the Ravens on who represents the AFC...

Does anybody feel "Less Bad" about our game two weeks ago after the Ravens just crushed the Seahawks...?

It's a 2,000 year old antisemitic insult. Seriously, you guys didn't know this? I don't want to try to explain it, it just takes too long with too many examples/ variations/ etc... But they've been known as "moneylenders" (Jesus hates them...), greedy, bankers that Kings were forced to borrow from and then kicked them out of the country so the kings could dismiss all their loans, accused of "controlling the world" through their purse strings.. etc. This is NOT an innocent statement or insult. It's a pointed antisemitic (anti-Jewish more specifically) trope that has beget expulsions/ pogroms/ hatred/ murder/ etc. I'll let the Guardian explain in more detail: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/09/jews-money-antisemitism-judas-shylock-capitalism Here's King Edward's expulsion of Jews from England in 1290 (not primarily over money but took advantage of...): https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/jews-in-england-1290/#:~:text=In 1287%2C in the duchy,community faced the same fate. Following the Statute of Jewry c. 1275, the situation for England’s Jewish community declined further still. In 1287, in the duchy of Gascony (an area of modern-day France under English rule), King Edward ordered the local Jews to be expelled. All their property was seized by the crown and all outstanding debts owed to Jews were transferred to the king’s name. Shortly later, England’s Jewish community faced the same fate. By the time King Edward returned to England in 1289, he was deeply in debt. The next summer he summoned his knights to introduce a steep tax on his people. To make the tax more bearable Edward essentially offered to expel all Jews in exchange. The heavy tax was passed, and three days later, on 18th July 1290, writs (letters) were issued to the sheriffs of every county outlining that all Jews should leave England by All Saint’s Day (1st November 1290). Jews were allowed to take their possessions with them, but the vast majority had their houses forfeited to the king. Jews were forced into moneylending because they were not allowed to do anything else; and Christians were forbidden from usury (charging interest on moneylending): https://daily.jstor.org/licoricia-jewish-medieval-women-moneylenders/ Constant confiscation of Jewish wealth, and dismissal of Jewish loans, in the Middle Ages: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/banking-and-bankers

The problem right now is: Ukraine starts out with 1/3 the population of Russia. And then lost land/ peoples to Russia in 2022. They're currently suffering from a lack of manpower to take on the Russian behemoth. And are in fact complaining (or explaining...) that they don't have enough personnel to man all of the Western equipment that they've received. They're in a difficult spot right now of having had some success in their counteroffensive against Russian forces; but not enough manpower to sustain a push all the way to the Sea of Azov or, in the Kherson Oblast (East of the Dnieper), to block the entrance/ exit to Crimea. Either would give them a tactical advantage against Russia. But...

PS: Also, these are just "National" guesses... I don't know what his particular Arkansas District would break down to...

That part I don't know about...

These are just wildly approximate numbers, but: Dems = 44% MAGA Republicans = 25% Establishment/ Never-Trumpers = 16% (but may vote Republican ANYWAYS) Independents = 15% (These are the swing-voters). UNLESS Establishment/ Never-Trumpers become more committed to NOT Voting Republican because of the fascist danger they (but more specifically: Trump. But they are still enablers of Trump and therefore are just as dangerous to the Constitution of the United States...) pose.

Independents who might vote one way or the other. They're the key. Dems gonna Dem. Maga's going to MAGA. Never-Trumpers are still an unknown at this point: whether they've had enough or are still willing to vote Party, regardless. MAYBE suburban conservative moms who MAY be fed up with Republican policy... That leaves Independents as the key voters to go after.

This also... YouTube?

This is Arkansas only media, correct? Or maybe even not Arkansas, but District. I'm sure he could get that squeezed in somewhere...
