Clown, there is no such thing as the "Democrat Party."

Very true.

we will never have more Bernies, AOCs and Mamdanis

Well then, America is ------.

Stuck between choosing between oligarchy party #1 or oligarchy party #2.

With the GOP directly screwing over Americans and the DNC indirectly screwing over Americans.


unless and until people like you learn that the perfect is always the enemy of the good.

The DNC didn't learn in 2016 it wasn't Hillary's turn.

They were lucky in 2020 COVID had destroyed America.

Then they fumbled in 2024. Big time.

Not to mention their absolute dereliction of duty to hold Trump and republican politicians responsible for the 1/6 insurrection.

One has to wonder when the DNC elites will learn.

The fact they actively fought against Mamdani, the fact they primary against progressive candidates, the fact they kicked David Hogg out tells me they still haven't learned anything and America will keep losing until the party elites holding on to power die off.

Or do you prefer Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, Gomer Comer, James Lankford, Rick Scott, and all the rest in majority roles while what's left of the Democratic minority roles are filled with people who have no power?

Maybe the DNC should listen to voters instead of telling us what we want.

As for those people, you'll have to ask the voters of their states what they want. As for me, I live in Los Angeles, California and we're chock full of democratic politicians.

The state is outrageously expensive and homelessness is rampant. But the weather is fantastic.


Only when the Democratic Party has a stranglehold on power in Washington can there ever be a chance to have more Bernies, AOCs and Mamdanis.

Only when the DNC starts listening to voters will they win elections again.

See NYC.

... The Chinese Defense Ministry said in a statement Saturday that Gen. Zhang Youxia, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission which controls the armed forces, was under investigation and accused of serious "violations of discipline and law."

Liu Zhenli, another People's Liberation Army general and a lower member of the commission who was in charge of the Joint Staff Department, was also put under investigation, the ministry said.

The statement gave no details about the allegations against them or the charges they were facing. But an editorial Sunday in the Liberation Army Daily newspaper, the mouthpiece of the country's armed forces, suggested that Zhang, 75, was accused of corruption and possibly disloyalty to Xi. ...

"This is a reminder coming directly from President Xi Jinping, that political loyalty stands well before combat readiness," he told NBC News in a telephone interview Monday. "Political disloyalty is a cardinal sin inside the party. And the message is clear: it's a political accusation," he said. "I think the message is extremely clear, no one is safe."

Xi could have let Zhang, 75, retire to save face, he said, adding that this was "very important in China." ...

Of the six generals Xi appointed to the commission in 2022, only one is left, allowing the president to consolidate power, but also heightening the risk of a military miscalculation when it comes to Taiwan, according Steve Tsang, the director of the China Institute at SOAS University of London.

"Removing generals like Zhang means that there will not be any general who would dare to advise Xi against a military adventure when the time comes, and this increases the risk of a miscalculation," he said in an email Monday. ...

Walz to Bondi after Minnesota shooting: 'Go ahead and work on' Epstein files
thehill.com

... Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) on Sunday slammed Attorney General Pam Bondi's letter to him urging him to restore the "rule of law" by turning over information about the state's welfare programs hours after a federal immigration agent shot and killed a local resident.

Bondi's request follows the uncovering of a massive fraud scandal in the North Star State that Trump administration officials have highlighted in national news.

"I would just give a pro tip to the attorney general. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those," Walz said in response to Bondi's request during a Sunday press conference ...


Pink Floyd - Us And Them (1973)

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
This song is about binaries. Black and white. Us and them. Cats and dogs.

It criticizes the cut and dry narrative that is given in a time of war.

This song reveals that we're all just ordinary people, and when one takes a deeper look, war is senseless death.

...

[Verse 1]
Us, and them
And after all, we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

President Trump Spiked an Immigration Compromise He Supported (2018)
time.com

... Republican leaders in the House thought they had a deal on immigration. They got sign-off from the White House on a measure that would give hardliners and moderates alike reasons to claim victory, and perhaps put an end to the nettlesome issue that leaves no one in the GOP looking good. ...

A draft of the compromise made its way around the Capitol on Thursday and lawmakers seemed optimistic Thursday evening as they played an annual charity softball game at Nationals Park. The chief vote-counter planned to start surveying members Friday morning to gauge support.

Then, President Donald Trump paid a visit to Fox News on Friday morning.

On the air, the President signaled he didn't support the legislation, sending Republican leaders in the House scrambling, their aides cursing and White House staff again trying to discern whether this was a shift for Trump, or if he was pandering to his pals at Fox or if he just didn't know what he was talking about.

"It's never a good thing when your best argument is that your boss is an idiot," one Republican official said. "Yet, that's all the White House can offer right now." ...
