Stevens...i don't know anything really about her...seems like generic dem. 

We don't need anything different.  

 

Leftists hate her because she took out leftist rat****er Andy Levin.

calling a "freedom from religion" group a group that "hates Christians' is some of the biggest pussy ass thinking you can find.  Grow a pair.  Man up.  Stop acting like a victim just because someone doesn't want your theology shoved in their faces.  What a coward.   It really shows a lack of faith and confidence in your own beliefs to have to play victim all the time.  But we knew that.

Somebody has been two busy self promoting to actually do a smidgen of research on the founders  view of Freedom of Religion.

Most of us critical of organized religion support the right to decide who and how to worship, not just blindly follow what the TV and most MAGA Church leaders want us to believe. Basically they hate educated folks

Any religion that puts Trump above or on par with the deity is f'd in the head.

do they hate Jews too?  Or Buddhists?  How come those religions never whine about it?  It's always the Christian Nationalists.

SEriously... look through history. Every important social evolution that's taken place in our nation's history had protestant Christianity opposing it.  Slavery.  Womens rights. Civil rights.  Interracial marriage.   Gay acceptance.  

Yet they bitch anytime you call them out and pretend to be victims.

Your talking about former Jewish Congressman Andy Levin. The same leftists that you parade around as terrible, Jew-hating, antisemites have supported a Jewish man in Eli Savit for Attorney General, a Jewish woman for Attorney General in Dana Nessel, a Jewish man in Andy Levin for Congress, and a Jewish man in Bernie Sanders for President. For a group of people that hate people of the Jewish faith, they sure do support a lot of Jews, especially for higher offices.

The first time I ever heard of AIPAC was during the primary between Levin and Stevens in which the Levin supporters attacked Stevens for taking money from AIPAC. I didn’t say leftists weren’t hypocrites. They support a pro war Blackwater op and a billionaire funded by fossil fuels.

So, the question is...does the stock market bubble burst happen before or after November?  If before and we all lose half of our 401ks, IRAs 403bs, etc....we ascribe that blame to the correct person/party.  

If after, is is just the wave of bad associated with Trump and it isn't one of these 'price of eggs' things the Epstein party uses to knock the Dems down?

If the market tanks before Nov there are going to be a lot of high profile failures, and while high tech failures might not even have that much impact on joe sixpack, the end of world media reporting will be enough the make the election look like 2008. And certainly there could be enough wider effect to freeze credit markets and cause real distress.

So your's is the relevant question. There is a collision coming between the need for AI guys to raise more capital (because they are burning through it like dry tinder) and the fact that the possibility of a failed AI IPO is exactly what could bring the house down.

I’m never voting for El-Sayed. I have voted for Democrats up and down the ballot in every election for over 25 years. I voted for Kwame Kilpatrick and Virg Bernero even. I will not vote for that rat****er. According to uncommitted, it’s not my fault if I don’t vote for him and a republican wins. I’ll write in AIPAC. 

Sweet purity test

What actually happens is he parades around antisemitic tropes here in this forum saying others are saying them while he actually says them

At least Texas Dems got their nominee right.

We don’t have to nominate the Nazi.

It's political Christianity, not spiritual Christianity, the difference between them being easy to tell because even they know Jesus would never say or endorse any of the **** they do.

This, in one sentence, is what MAGA people mean when they say they hate the "elites". They don't mean rich people. They love rich people. They mean smart people.

Platner's wife is standing by her man. As was the case with Hillary and Bill, this aspect won't have much traction as long as she's still on board.  So it will be on to the next thing - whatever it is.

Ask Senator Cunningham how it worked out for him. 

[romad1]

Remember a lot of wave years sweeping in marginal pols.  I have a feeling that Platner has some skills.  

[romad1]

I’m reminded of Christine O’Donnell in Delaware and her “I am not a witch” commercial.  That was a marginal candidate.

platner is politics as entertainment - as long as it's not your state to worry about.
