    DeSantis might be liked by the wealthy and rednecks in Florida but he sure as hell isn't a liked men amongst the LGBTQ community or the Democrats. Thank God our country doesn't have his far right type supporters as a majority.

    He could still win though via electoral votes. He just have to win the swing states. Republicans have proven they could win without the LGBTQ.

    Doesn't need the majority popular vote, just the electoral.

    If the election were held today, I think DeSantis would electorally beat Biden.

    No telling what may occur in the next 2 years.

    based on what?

    which purple states, won by Biden 2 yrs ago, would the Trump wannabe be able to flip?.
    i personally think that Biden would win by a bigger margin (than 2020) in Pa, Wi, Mi, Az and GA.

    w the popularity of the infrastructure bill, much to the benefits of Biden, i think he will be able to flip Ohio

    With their chosen ones put into key positions who are willing to change the votes anything's possible. They've already proven they will cheat to win. I honestly think that's why they are so desperate to promote and support election deniers across the country who will refuse to certify a true winner when it's a Democrat.

    We view government regulations and OSHA's role in business much differently. More regulations take up time that would be better spent on business. Now if something is truly unsafe then that's a different story. However it's been my experience with customers of mine, that OSHA has to find something wrong to justify their existence. You will never hear any regulatory agency go into a business and say they've done a great job and we can't find anything you've done wrong. I've even seen there government bureaucrats make stuff up.

    BTW, you can expect more of this from the newly politicized IRS. Nobody is going to get an atta boy you're awesome from that Nazi style of agency.

    Loans can be forgiven. How come when rich a$$ political get ppp loans forgiven, I haven't see u btch about it. But for students who are also American citizens aren't allowed to get loan forgiveness.

    Typical hypocrite.

    Not sure what point you're trying to make. Your post I responded to said it should not be that hard for a college graduate to find a job paying $100,000 per year. It's not easy.

    What should aspiring students do? Without loans, Pell grants and other sources of help, tons of students would be unable to go to college.

    Sure... folks and businesses should pay their loans off. And those upset with this will have the opportunity to express their derision and vote out Biden.

    That was one of his campaign goals and folks voted for him. Kind of like how one of Trump's campaign goals was to give a lot of tax advantages to the wealthy and corporations which he accomplished.

    Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz has reportedly hired people to portray convicted felons as part of his campaign against Democratic opponent, Lt. Governor John Fetterman.

    Images of people portraying convicted felons and holding signs saying "Inmates for Fetterman" were shared to Twitter on Tuesday morning by PatriotTakes

    The individuals are shown wearing orange jumpsuits and one can be seen holding a sign that says: "Another convicted felon for Fetterman."

    One of the people depicted is Colin Matthews, who originally shared the photos of himself with Oz, as well as with others dressed in the jumpsuits, to his Instagram page. He also discussed dressing as a convicted felon.

    The photos shows Oz autographing one of the signs in question with Matthews standing next to him.

    "Last night might've been the greatest things I've ever done in politics yet. I was hired by the Oz campaign to play the role of a felon supporting Fetterman… I can't believe how many idiots thought I was legit out of jail," Matthews wrote.

    all those black people u see at Trump rallies are paid actors too

    Here, read these articles and let the truth set you free from your political bias, opinions, and defense of a man who doesn't give a damn about the blue collar workers. He doesn't give a damn about people getting sick or dying from chemicals in our air, water, and environment. His actions speak louder than his lies. Do you care?


    The Trump Administration Rolled Back More Than 100 Environmental Rules. Here’s the Full List.
    Over four years, the Trump administration dismantled major climate policies and rolled back many more rules governing clean air, water, wildlife and toxic chemicals.
    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/climate/trump-environment-rollbacks-list.html

    50 reasons the Trump administration is bad for workers

    President Trump has said he would ‘protect’ and ‘fight for’ workers. Instead, his administration has systematically done the opposite.
    https://www.epi.org/publication/50-reasons/

    WORKPLACE FATALITIES RISING UNDER TRUMP OSHA AS ENFORCEMENT DECLINES

    WORKPLACE DEATHS RISING: FATALITY INVESTIGATIONS AT 10-YEAR HIGH

    “The Trump administration is cutting back on OSHA enforcement activity, putting workers’ lives at risk and undercutting businesses that play by the rules and prioritize worker safety,” said Berkowitz. “That’s a far cry from putting workers first.”

    I just don't get why these bigots can't just let people live their lives as they choose when they aren't hurting anyone else with their lifestyle. Priorities are all messed up when you want to ban this but allow some teenager to buy an assault rifle meant kill multiple people quickly.
