  1. Woke is a political term created by the far right to fire up the masses. A dog whistle.
  2. I stand by my post. It's well documented that angry, older, white, less educated people support Trump. And are very angry. January 6th?
  3. Judges are elected. But that doesn't mean they are political. Some yes, many others, no. The US has a great judicial system. Sad the far right attacks it. Mainly because they are under investigation!
  4. Proof that the GOP has succumbed to Trump? McConnell will no longer be head of the Republicans in the senate.
  5. I went to the bus station the other day for the trip to Bangkok. As usual, packed! I ordered a Grab. Just didn't look safe....or fun! 55555 Great information. Thanks!
  6. You really need to read the charges. You are way off. And nothing to do with politics.
  7. A small portion is 400 million? But yes, he has been able to grow that, though at a much lower rate than if he would have just put it in a fund. Not such a great businessman.
  8. From that link. So I'm guessing that you are ok with billionaires collecting social security? 🤔 Paul Ryan [former Republican speaker of the house] was correct when he did the tax code. What's the first thing he decided we had to go after? Social Security and Medicare. Now, we need to do something about Social Security and Medicare. That's the only way you can find room to pay for it. Now, I don't know a whole lot of people in the top one-tenth of 1% or top 1% [who] are relying on Social Security when they retire.
  9. That's a massive generalization pushed by Trump because they wouldn't commit the crimes he requested, and because they investigated him . Do some reading in credible media outlets. Sad you've fallen for his propaganda. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-may-have-left-d-c-his-beefs-fbi-cia-n1264991
  10. It's well documented if you follow credible media outlets
  11. Yes. My building, the old Banker's Trust building, was cut in half by a falling beam. Killing one. No conspiracy theories, please.
  12. Just the facts. Thus, the reason they fall for the misinformation and propaganda. I definitely hate Trump for diving our country. And the right wing media for helping. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/07/12/demographic-profiles-of-republican-and-democratic-voters/ By contrast, a majority of Republican voters in 2022 had no college degree (63%); a smaller share had a college degree or more (37%). This is similar to the shares of Republican voters with and without a college degree in 2018. Seven-in-ten Republican voters were 50 and older in the most recent election, compared with 62% of Republican voters in 2020 and 68% in 2018.
  13. https://www.niskanencenter.org/what-explains-the-diploma-divide/ Voters with college degrees are increasingly supporting Democrats, with Republicans now doing better among those without college—a big reversal in recent decades. ........ Less educated white voters have increased the importance they place on non-economic issues, polarizing the electorate on these issues.
  14. I would never support an assassination of a world leader. A very slippery slope. Comparing Trump to Biden is like comparing good to evil. Or, old to old and evil.
  15. Most Trumpers are older, not very educated and very racist. They blame their problems on immigrants and the deep state. Rather than taking responsibility for their own situation. They are drawn like moths to a light for information that supports their feelings. Too much hated from them. Really sad.
  16. Amazing! Would love to chat with you about it over a drink!
  17. Right back at ya. Review your posts. See how hatred is there. Typical of those on the far right. Full of hatred and misinformation.
