Well...

I really hope the country votes like I'm going to vote...

I don't give a shit if the Democratic nominee is gay, or a woman, or black, or green, or from Venus. I don't give a shit if the nominee is a California liberal, or a socialist, or progressive, or a centrist. I don't give a shit if the Democratic nominee is 90, or 19.

I'm voting straight ticket Dem... in every election... until MAGA-hate-filled-fascism is eliminated out of the Republican Party. Which may never happen.

Which means I may never vote Republican again... because I don't see that happening in my lifetime.

This is the only thing that matters.

You gotta give it to the Biden Admin. In less than two years in office he has doubled basic grocery prices, chunked your 401K and shutdown the housing market. Bonus, we are about to inherit 400 billion of someones educational bad choices. Can't wait to see what the next two years bring.

So who was behind the The American Rescue Plan, the COVID-19 relief package, the Safer Communities Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, rejoining the Paris Climate Accords, the Inflation Reduction Act (allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices and capping spending at $2,000 per year for seniors), and strengthening NATO in the face of the threat from Putin? Was that all Trump and the Republicans?

LOL - an economic conservative just took over in Britain and has run the country off the rails in less than a week.

Economic conservatism, at its core, is about the king and his court getting all the money while the serfs exist in poverty, getting paid just enough to feed them just enough to work the next day. Any policy that gives the serfs any more than that is economic liberalism.

What policy did Biden implement that caused inflation here.  And everywhere?

This. Exactly. 
 

MAGA talking heads blame Biden but never give reasons.

We’d be in the same mess if Trump had won. It’s the one, small reason I’d like to see Trump in office again. Instead of coasting on good momentum he’d fail miserably trying to actually fix stuff.

He did nothing of the sort

Trump would be pressuring Powell not to raise interest rates and continue QE, like Trump did when Trump was president.

This is random, but this kind of moment is the kind of thing that used to happen in all the other administrations but really didn't happen during Trump. 

Maybe others don't care, but I appreciate the dignity for the office and being able to handle the administerial stuff well

I was just reading about Whelan's background. Not exactly stellar. A court martial conviction related to larceny while in the Marines. His police resume in Michigan seems a bit sketchy as well. His arrest in Moscow seems a bit fishy as well. He was leading a wedding party tour group, then skipped the wedding to go sight seeing?Taking it all with the usual grain of salt since Wikipedia is my main source.

Not supporting Putin here, but there seems to be more to what may be happening than Brittany having a bit of pot.

They'll probably point to the white guy from Michigan whose still there and has been there longer than Griner. 

Did you see the Whelan family's statement.    Talk about grace.  

 

"The Biden Administration made the right decision to bring Ms. Griner home, and to make the deal that was possible, rather than waiting for one that wasn't going to happen."

The President always gets the blame, that's just the way it is.  People don't investigate things.  People don't care about what is going on elsewhere, he's the guy that is in charge and this stuff his happening while he's in charge, which, to me, is an indication  with just how unhappy Americans are with the Republicans right now.   That there wasn't a red wave during a time of massive inflation and recently high gas prices is a total indictment on them.    The Democrats should have gotten the crap beat out of them, but voters don't want the crazies in charge and want to protect abortion rights.  

I am pissed that the Democrats didn't pay more attention to California and New York in the house races.  They assumed they were in the bag and they were wrong and it cost them the opportunity to do a lot of positive things. 

 

And on the Gladys Knight thing..............you didn't hear Trump do things like that because Trump only compliments himself or people who kiss his ass...........nobody else exists to him.

Honestly, I have always kind of wondered what he was really doing there too.   Don't want to say that because I don't wish ill will on his family, but something else was going on there.
