But my democratically elected leaders, though...

Democratically elected leaders?

Who was the 2020 "democratically" elected President in America?

but I guess you can't make the distinction yourself. Instead, you're obligated to force feed yourself no matter how absurd it is.

Blah blah blah..

So you think there is a point to manufacturing a meaningless distinction to make yourself feel better for being a partisan?

Thats your job.

I try to stick to the facts.

Both parties have issues. But both parties are not the same.

Take Citizens United for an example. (Which is the basis of many if not most campaign and political monetary issues)

Democratic politicians generally oppose the decision, arguing it allows wealthy special interests and corporations to "drown out the voice of the American people" with unlimited campaign spending (often referred to as "dark money").

They have repeatedly introduced legislation, such as a constitutional amendment, to reverse the ruling, which has typically failed in the Senate along party lines due to Republican opposition.

Both parties are not the same.

"Newsom doesn't have the minerals to stand up to the people who own him."

You all had better be nice to your future President.

You ought to know how cantankerous they can be now once they acquire power.

What a waste of energy force feeding such meaningless distinctions.

How's that old DOGE thing going anyway with independent analyses estimating it has actually cost taxpayers billions of dollars?

Has Big Balls recovered his balls yet?

I mean after Minn the Dems are looking a little shady in that category.

Perhaps. Time will tell. Does it justify how much you are trying to deflect and ignore how Dark it's getting with all the fraud waste and abuse of power over there at the White House?

Nope. Because it's not even close.

Meanwhile the common enemy goes unrecognized.

Not to worry!

Everyone in the world recognizes The Mad King.

He has made sure of that.

Re 21

What can I say except, "You're welcome"
For the tides, the sun, the sky
Hey, it's okay, it's okay
You're welcome!
I'm just an ordinary demi-guy ...

"Their loss of trust is 100% self inflicted."

Again. It's simple math.

It's not possible to be "%100 self inflicted" when it is the result of a complex interaction of factors involving both the media's actions and the public's evolving media consumption habits and the political environment.

So.. You lie. Your lies are easily debunked. So you lie harder.

That's your thing.

But you ain't fooling anyone but yourself.

Republicans have gone from "Don't Tread on Me!"

To "Comply or die!"

Good luck with that.

Not in my America. If those are my only choices I know which choice I will make. But know this. Marines never go out alone. I am not like her. I will take more than one with me.

A group of enemy fighters hears a voice call from behind a sand dune: "One Marine is better than ten ISIS fighters". After a gunfight, the voice calls out again: "One Marine is better than one hundred Isis 'S.O.B.'s'". Furious, the ISIS commander sends 100 troops. After a massive battle, a wounded fighter crawls back and says, "Don't send any more men... it's a trap. There's two of them."

Re 96

Regrading = regarding

They bring in jobs, pay property taxes, as do their employees. With more money in the hands of the workers more products are purchased and assessed sales tax, etc.

I should not have said "never". That was a mistake. I generally avoid absolutes regrading anything.

Sometimes they do bring high paying jobs.

Many times however they do not. As Eberly pointed out regarding Wisconsin.

Like Trumpy many would prefer to hire cheap foreign workers instead of Americans who foolishly think they are entitled to benefits and affordable healthcare.

Trust in the MSM, which NYT is definitely a part of, is at historic all-time lows. And it's 100% self-inflicted.

Why do you bother?

When it's so easy to debunk your maga lies.

The lack of trust in American media is NOT solely attributable to any single cause.
