It's very sobering seeing our American left wing party compared to European left wing parties, and realizing those parties are considered to be ineffective and moderate.
Our "left wing" party would lean fairly conservative amongst the rest of the developed world.
Senate negotiators have reached an agreement on a $118 billion bipartisan bill to address the U.S. border with Mexico. The Senate is expected to hold an initial procedural vote on the bill this week.
It’s specifically designed that way so they can use it to shut down the government, there’s also no reason why we need a debt ceiling. We could completely eliminate the concept tomorrow if we wanted to, but that’s one less thing the Republicans can use to hold our country hostage with
Three years after supporters of Donald Trump violently stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the future of the criminal cases against the rioters may hinge on the presidential election.
There were 14 days after the riot that he could have used to pardon them and he chose to use that tube to pack up classified documents instead. That’s the talking point I’d start with,
“if he really cared about you then why did he sit on his hands for two weeks instead of signing a blanket pardon?”

If the FBI and, while we’re at it, the DOJ were biased against Trump, why has he been walking free for 3 years?
Would they treat you or I like that?
Ask yourself:
Would you be able to have all your arrests ‘scheduled’?
Can you take a private jet take you to your scheduled arrests?
Would you be chauffeured from the jet to the arrest?
Can you opt not to have fingerprints or mugshots taken and not held with bail?
Could you fly back to your mansion after 70+ criminal and federal indictments to continue grifting, obstructing, witness tampering all while being served by butlers?
He definitely isn’t being treated fairly, that’s a fact. But no, they’re definitely not biased against him.
Trump in exile still gives him internet access and the ability to speak to and direct his followers…
Allowing him to escape justice IS the worst possible scenario in my book. Who cares if he’s not president if he’s directing his terrorist goons to cause more harm or deaths here in the States while he sits comfortably elsewhere after getting away with everything he’s done.
Voters in Ohio went to the polls to decide whether to approve a measure known as Issue 1 that would raise the bar for constitutional amendments on the ballot. In the ultimate irony, the votes against changing the amendment process exceeded the 60% supermajority that the measure was seeking in the first place
a huge thank you to the Ohio voters who turned out in a big way for this.
As an Ohioan I was to emphasize that part. There are 8 million registered voters in our state and there were 3 million votes cast in this election. Luckily the issue didn’t pass but I really want to know what the 5 million people that didn’t vote (you had 3 full weeks with early voting) thought was more important than preventing our Rights from eroding even further.
While true, he got that base by being ruthlessly cruel to his opponents, even those in his own party. They eat that shit up, and going for Trump’s throat and making him look weak would be the best way to win over his base.
