    He refuses to sign it unless Congress adds the SAVE Act. He’s determined that taking away sacred voting rights from citizens is the most important thing right now. Congress probably has the votes to override his veto.

    I think that's right. I mean issues of affordability play far beyond NYC. But the traction that DSA has found to parlay affordability concerns into liberal solutions isn't something much proven beyond New York yet.

    Yes, I am.

    Bernie ran a good campaign in 2016 and Trump ran with that same focus and won in 2016. Bernie focused on individuals that Democrats forgot about, which are all those individuals in the rust belt and also rural voters. Democrats love focusing on social issues, but if they just focused on money, they would have a better chance of winning. I'm also not talking about wanting to sound like the smartest person in the room (AKA as 2024 elections and talking about how good 401k's were doing as if most of the Country even has much money in those).

    that’s why they’re doing everything in their power to try and cheat

    postmaster general just said that USPS won’t deliver mail ballots to states that don’t hand over their voter rolls

    Would be great if they hold him in contempt after he is sued.

    He still lies about the polls though, just like everything else.

    "The Crowd was incredible last night, packed to the brim — At least 45,000 people were there, with a huge Television and online audience. I wish we were able to have an even larger area, which we will be able to do on July 4th when I’ll be speaking again. The airplane flyovers and music were fantastic. Everybody stayed right until the end of my Speech because they loved hearing about a truly successful America. See you again on July 4th! President DONALD J. TRUMP"


    Yeah sure Donald. You must be really insecure to spew that BS. The sad part is you would have 5 times the people if it you weren't making the 250th anniversary a MAGA rally to spew your BS, hate, lies, and narcissism. You just had to spoil it all and make it all about you as usual.


    Even if there were 45,000 people, which most say is a highly exaggerated number as usual, just remember Donald, that back in October over 200,000 protesters showed up for the No Kings Rally on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.. Shall I repeat? 200,000 Protesting against you. Your stain on this year's celebration ruins the anniversary festivities for most.

    Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

    the vermin are starting to squirm

    It's sad yet fun when they say these things out loud.

    Ossoff: A wave is building. The kind of wave that comes once a generation. And people have been pushed too far and they decide all at once, altogether, that enough is enough. We have the power not just to restore checks and balances, but to rebuke these abuses of power with such power and decision that no president dares try anything like this again for a century.

    he can leave out the “for a century” part

    Jon Ossof has been at the top of my list for 2028 for awhile now…I think he has the juice

    Ossoff and AOC would be the sexiest ticket ever.

    Whats the likelihood of trump postponing/halting the mid terms? is there any scenario that he can delay the mid terms?

    States run their own elections, including presidential. And there is a separation of power between states and DC.

    it might be time to stop listening to all the fear monger about Trump being a dictator. The president doesnt have that much power in the grand scheme. Only dumb americans think otherwise. But that doesnt mean the president cant do unauthorized actions which can he tied up in courts for periods of time.

    I had never heard Paxton speak until recently. Holy **** he has a b****y voice too. It would be suicide for him to get on a stage with Talarico, given his height, weight, and voice. Might as well stick with running disingenuous ads.

    There is no way that bitc* paxton will get on stage with Talareco because he would have to explain "real" things, not culture wars

    I don’t think the historical style of debate is even effective

    it’s just a couple of minutes of a Dem saying something followed by a couple of minutes of a republican lying and making sh*t up…and maybe there will be a fact check later that no one will see

    they often times don’t even answer the question being asked

    hell, I’d rather see Jubilee style Talarico vs 20 MAGAs and Paxton vs 20 Dems live on national TV
