Republicans have lost literally *every* election for the past 2 years. They're losing power left and right and instead of wondering why they're spinning old biden videos. It's amazing how incompetent and utterly stupid a political party can be. Truly amazing stuff. They're perfectly okay with ceding power to democrats so they can wage online culture wars. Amazing that dems use to be the dumb ones. Funny how things change
The barking pro-life dog caught the pro-choice car. The Rs are scrambling to find a way to unbake that cake.
The best strategy for republicans to win elections now is to restrict voting and/or overturn elections due to "fraud". aka cheat to win.
@AroundTheWorld how come you didn't post this other viral video that right wing media is circulating ? You love to post from this account how come you didn't post this one? Edited fake video that none of their braindead viewers even realize. It's just a epitome of how stupid the right is. They're focused on brainwashing their dumb followers. Braindead conspiracies and altered videos. These folks are utter MORONS
I don't follow that account, but thanks for thinking of me. Clearly, I dominate your thoughts and control your emotions.

Did the Pentagon Just Make a $3 Billion Accounting Error—or Did It Do Something Even Worse? The Pentagon’s “accounting error” will allow President Joe Biden to send an extra $3 billion in military aid to Ukraine without congressional approval. Was this deliberate? https://reason.com/2023/05/19/did-t...ting-error-or-did-it-do-something-even-worse/ The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Pentagon has overcounted the value of the weapons it sent to Ukraine by at least $3 billion. The Defense Department had cited what newly produced weapons would cost, but Washington has primarily sent Ukraine older excess weapons from U.S. stockpiles. The Pentagon says this means it has an additional $3 billion to spend on military aid to Ukraine—spending that wouldn't require congressional approval. While Congress has the power to set limits on the value of weapons the president can send using this method, the White House has the authority to choose which weapons to send and how to calculate their value. This is convenient for Kyiv, which has continued to request assistance from Washington on top of the astronomical amount of aid it has already received. In March, Max Bergmann of the Center for Strategic and International Studies calculated that President Joe Biden's available Ukraine funding would run out by October or sooner, depending on the intensity of the spring counteroffensive. But Congress—especially the Republican-controlled House—has grown reluctant to hand Ukraine a blank check. Since the beginning of the 118th Congress, lawmakers have pushed to add restrictions and better monitoring of weapons sent to Ukraine. The Pentagon's accounting error frees up more money for the war, available now without any democratic debate. The timing of this accounting error is suspicious. Senators have been warning that Congress may not agree to a 2023 federal budget that keeps up with inflation, and some House Republicans have suggested cutting aid to Ukraine in order to counteract the rising U.S. debt and to alleviate concerns over accountability and transparency. The government may need to impose across-the-board cuts (otherwise known as sequestration) as it did when Congress failed to agree on deficit-reduction methods 10 years ago. Back then, the military used overseas contingency operations accounts—emergency funding budgeted separately from the Pentagon budget and immune from sequestration. The current emergency-style Ukraine funding allows the government to circumvent budgetary pressures, avoid getting caught up in issues like omnibus appropriations, and shield the aid from deficit-reduction spending cuts. By reapportioning the newfound $3 billion for Ukraine, the Biden administration could use emergency funding to support Kyiv unabated, even if the rest of the federal budget experiences sweeping cuts. And if the error isn't deliberate? That would signal major flaws in Pentagon oversight. If around 7.5 percent of the nearly $40 billion the U.S. has committed to Ukraine was accounted for incorrectly, there are likely a litany of other financial miscalculations in the $858 billion military budget. Whether this $3 billion mistake is a purposeful effort to circumvent Congress or a huge accounting error, it reflects a near-breakdown of the democratic process for military spending.
Today the DOJ won its first anti trust case in transportation in over 60 years. This is what fighting corporation consolidation looks like. Fighting for ordinary customers against monopolies. Can you post more stuff like this
Care to explain to me what would have happened if these consolidations didnt happen? In 20 years here, are you going to be here happy to see JP Morgan broken up, claiming unfair market conditions because they bought failed banks, which would have likely caused massive turmoil in the markets if those banks failed?
Have you read the brief? https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-block-jetblue-s-proposed-acquisition-spirit This was going be bad bad for small towns and cost millions of jobs. This would've hurt the market greatly. Airline mergers are scams
I would think getting rid of monopolies that are too big to fail would make it easier to let an independently operated bank or place of business that does fail to not cause it to tank the entire economy. I would assume defending monopolies, especially when one fails that is too big to fail would mean it'd be requisite to supply a bailout to avoid tanking the entire economy. Therefore breaking up monopolies is a good thing. Defending monopolies, especially ones that fail habitually inside of a decade and require a bailout from taxpayers would just be a continuation of failed policy that's persisted since at least the 2000s, if not longer than that.
The only thing that is a scam is the lack of infrastructure. If we would stop spending trillions on wars, we could build better transportation networks. but war mongers gonna war monger.
If their dominance hurts the robustness of competition in that industry, why would it matter that they did us a solid by buying up a failed bank? Breaking up monopolies isn't a punishment, it's a measure you take to get a strong and efficient economy.
The end of the petro-dollar will be attributed to the Biden Administration. 50 years of meddling in the middle east, spreading USA democracy and holding endless peace summits. Who would have thought peace in the middle east would happen after the west left?
Sorry I got the accounts messed up. i apologize Why do you post literally the dumbest conspiracies on the boards? You have one smart take and then you quickly revert to posting garbage. The middle east currency reserves of dollars HAVE GONE UP in recent years . The idea that Saudi is going stop trading in dollars is the dumbest **** ever. Countries trade in oil because the dollar is still the most held currency by a wide margin. What currency are they going to pivot too. Go ahead and tell me
You guys should be following the Horizon AMGEN merger that the FTC blocked this week. Its literally a transformational challenge. The business model of Big pharma is to allow big companies to buy up smaller firms who have made breakthrough drugs and then quickly mark up the prices and market it. Big Pharma claims that big corporations buying up smaller firms is healthy to the consumer becauase the larger corporations have the marketing and resources to roll out the drugs. As soon as the Challenge was announced THE ENTIRE BIO LAB INDEX WAS DOWN. Not just one firm but the entire index. Big pharma has been effin over americans for decades and decades. They jack up meds at the expense of patients because the system is rigged. They're pissing in their pants right **** scared. This is a great piece on the merger. Its literally going transform the way big pharma does business https://open.substack.com/pub/matts...st?r=gu1b3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
You're mixing different topics. Petrocurrency/petrodollar (system)/petrodollar recycle refers to the agreement oil will be settled in USD exclusively. There are a couple countries who have refused, like Venezuela, but OPEC, and Russia were on board until recently. This is about exclusivity, not any nation completely abandoning USD. This greatly diminishes the power of sanctions. There is a theory Saddam was replaced because he was going to start trading in Euros and abandon the petrodollar agreement. This isn't some conspiracy theory. The petro dollar system was going to unravel eventually with the ever increasing demand to get off fossil fuels. OPEC nations have been preparing for years for this coming. This is just the start. Again, not doom and gloom. Just the inevitable.
