Can't believe we have to deal with 4 more years of Putin's bitch & his enablers. So long to being the leader of the free world.

He deported more immigrants than any president before, used drones to kill US citizens without due process, declined to prosecute Wall Street criminals who tanked the economy, filled his admin. with other banksters, and punted on codifying Roe when Dems had all branches. A sell out

Trump's an antagonist? No kidding, That's my point. Anything Iran does won't be "escalator", it'll all be retaliatory.
He just started a war with a well organized, proud, totalitarian state, when the US couldn't defeat the Taliban over 20 years occupying a failed state.

Wtf do you mean "risks escalation"? He bombed a country that wasn't eminently threatening an attack on the US, in violation of international law. It's an unnecessary escalation, full stop. Is Iran just supposed to take that? Would we?

He's also a Russian useful idiot. Tucker will align with whatever the Kremlin's position is. Iran is a Russian ally, so Tucker is Iran's.

An unheeded warning from 1962, before oligarchs controlled all business, media and politics. A warning the ruling class has ignored for multiple generations, leaving few options. Soapbox? Ballot box? Hopeless. Cartridge box is where we are.

That's hysterical. Constitution ignoring criminal idiot aside, the US Congress hasn't officially declared a war since World War II. Pretty sure we've had boots on the ground since then.

Wtf does he mean "close"? They've renditioned cancer patients citizens, arrested judges and Congressmen with their secret police, denied Supreme Court rulings, break laws and violate the Constitution daily, and mocked the murder of their political opponents. What more does Obama need to see?!

9/ But there is no comparison anywhere on the left with MAGA's regular legitimization of violence in our politics. There is a straight line from Jan 6 to the pardons to the assault on Sen. Padilla to Minnesota.
A democracy cannot function when one faction embraces violence.

I see they've released info on a suspect hours after my post. When I wrote my comment, they hadn't. My question still stands. Why would they say impersonating when no suspect was named? It absolutely could've been a cop
comment in response to

Why does every post I see say the assassin was an impersonator? Reports are also saying he was in a cop car. I think it was a cop.
comment in response to

Considering that many cops are sociopathic right wingers, how we can be certain these weren't actual pigs? What evidence is there to verify they were impersonators?

They can't find workers to replace ones nabbed by Trump's Gestapo, and the only applicants are "criminals" Biden "unleashed"? Criminals don't look for hard ass jobs, and even his incoherent blather admits no US citizens want these jobs. Stop deporting the ones willing to do them, JFC!

What policy did he violate, exactly? Speaking truth to power?
That's supposed to be the reason for a free press. Or it was before the rise of oligarchy.

I hope this isn't true. With any luck at least some of them will be sterile.

Hard to know why you can't read, but when you respond to someone saying we need higher standards than simply NOT being a liar with," yOU tHiNK it'S OkAY tO bE DiShonEsT.." it does show a lack of comprehension.
The opposite of lying is being honest, in case you're still confused.
Hope this helps.

Yes, and? Did you mistake me as pro- Gestapo?
They should be arresting the exploiting owners, then lawmakers would "miraculously" find an easier path to citizenship for the labor we depend on.
There's nothing praiseworthy about the owners, afaik.

I don't understand people celebrating the restaurant whose entire staff are undocumented. That's a power dynamic perfect to exploit empoyees. Famously, used by Trump to staff his various businesses.
What am I missing?

Cautions from a dotard the whole world rightly sees as a clown, about a negotiation that wouldn't be necessary if not for said dotard reneging on an earlier deal, mean less than nothing.
The US no longer has any credibility

The only things you said that are true- he tried to pass off a fake $20 & he used drugs. Everything else is either false (beat a woman the day he died), or only claimed by police who lie, not witnesses (resisting arrest).
Even if your lies were true, none justify being murdered by a fucking pig GFY!

He implied Springsteen is more of an American because his family goes back to to the 1650s.
Not that his beliefs are better, morals are better, or anything that makes a better person.
Just that his family's been here longer. Which doesn't make him anything.
What'd I miss, smartass?

There is absolutely NO state where over 50% of the populace voted for Trump You're laughing at the pain of non-Trump voters. Congratulations, you're just as misinformed and cruel as any Trump cultist. Just hateful.

It's cruel to find this funny. Even in the deepest red state, 1 in 3 people voted for Harris. Another 1/3 maybe don't follow politics, or accept mainstream same washing. Do they deserve to suffer?! Careful you don't become what you hate.

I do. Fascism is always weak, and run by loyalty, not competence.
Once pushed too far, the people wil find ways to remove their oppressors.

What's family going back generations have to do with being American? Immigrants naturalized last week are better Americans than any multigenerational Klansman.

Receiving the statue was also approved by Congress, as the Constitution clearly demands.
