#3 I posted this with you in mind, Danforth.

AOC is 36 years old. She entered Congress at 29 becoming the youngest woman to win a federal election.

So? Mark Wayne Mullen got elected to Congress. Getting elected to Congress isn't much of an accomplishment, sport.

You'll need a whole lot more than that for POTUS.

In seven years she's become a leading voice in the Democratic Party and is helping shape its future.

Nonsense. Maybe for you and people in your bubble, but not beyond that. "Leading voice" LOL

You know why I know this is BS? Look at her committee assignments.

From Wiki:

Committee assignments
Committee on Energy and Commerce
Past committee assignments

Committee on Oversight and Accountability[272] (Vice Ranking Member, 2023"25) (2019"2025)
Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services
Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs
Committee on Financial Services (2019"2023)
Subcommittee on National Security, Illicit Finance and International Financial Institutions (2021"2023)
Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Financial Institutions (2019"2021)
Committee on Natural Resources (2023"2025)
Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources (Ranking Member, 2023"25)

She's never held leadership in a committee, nor has she ever been selected to serve in any of the high power, influential committees like Ways and Means or Appropriations.

Kind of odd for the Voice of the Democratic Party, isn't it?

If you don't think that's an accomplishment let's see your resume.

All this bluster and you STILL haven't posted her accomplishments.

Because. She. Doesn't. Have. Any. Of. Substance.

She is not POTUS level material. Period.

Gift article link. No paywall.

From the article: One of the settlement terms under review is for the I.R.S. to drop any audits of the president, his family members and businesses.

This level of corruption would have been unimaginable even a year ago.

Why, oh, why would (Acting) Attorney General & Trump Personal Attorney Todd "Thank you - I LOVE YOU, SIR!" Blanche roll over for his master on this?

A settlement in the coming days would fly in the face of efforts by the federal judge overseeing the case, Kathleen Williams, an appointee of President Barack Obama in the Southern District of Florida, to try and manage the conflict of interest in the case. Not only has she requested briefings from Mr. Trump's lawyers and the government by next week, she has appointed a group of six well-respected lawyers not otherwise involved in the case to provide her with their views on whether Mr. Trump's lawsuit is legitimate.

A settlement in the coming days would fly in the face of efforts by the federal judge overseeing the case, Kathleen Williams, an appointee of President Barack Obama in the Southern District of Florida, to try and manage the conflict of interest in the case. Not only has she requested briefings from Mr. Trump's lawyers and the government by next week, she has appointed a group of six well-respected lawyers not otherwise involved in the case to provide her with their views on whether Mr. Trump's lawsuit is legitimate.

She would not likely be able to prevent Mr. Trump from simply withdrawing the suit and coming to a private agreement with the federal government. Even if the judge were to ultimately find that the settlement was collusive or reached in bad faith, she would likely be hamstrung in any effort to stop money or other benefits from changing hands.

Former government lawyers and experts see a clear defense to Mr. Trump's suit, and do not see it as one the Justice Department would typically settle on its merits.


This is Republican government.

Marco Rubio's tenure as USSECSTATE has been aptly summarized as "worthless." Link: Overpaid Hologram

Junta members FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and USAG Pam Bondi have already been shown the door and it would be a miracle if D/FBI Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel survives the public and congressional humiliation of being exposed as an alcoholic and a perjurer. And with the illegal war against the people of Iran going sideways, Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth could also be purged for rank incompetence.

Empty Suit Marco Rubio has a 15-point lead over good-for-nothing Hillbilly Hypocrite VPOTUS JD Vance in a recently conducted GOP 2028 presidential poll.

Mega-oligarch Larry "AIPAC" Ellison and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu would not like to see their MIGA cat's paw USSECSTATE Marco Rubio kicked out.


In the past 24 hours, the IDF killed two more Palestinians and wounded a child in Gaza, bring the death toll to 72,818; 20,179 children, 12,500 women. During the IDF pogrom to clean out Muslims from Gaza, 172,555 have been wounded or maimed with US-manufactured weapons and American taxpayer funds.


In 2025 alone, the US government sent Israel about $12 billion in military funding to mass murder the Palestinian people. This amount could have fed 1,982,488 American families with one year's free groceries.



The Chairman of the Board escorting First Lady-to-be Jacqueline Kennedy to the pre-inaugural gala held at the Washington Armory on 19 Jan 1961. Sammy Davis Jr was disinvited from performing with the rest of the "Rat Pack" so as not to offend white supremacist "Dixiecrats." Sammy Davis Jr then became a Republican and years later the first Man of Color to spend a night at the White House at POTUS Richard Nixon's invitation.

#53 "Who doesn't what this?"

People who want to see Republicans win.

That's who.

You're putting the cart before the horse, my friend.

Get the absolute political power in Washington DC, then you can enact that.

Anything less is just giving Republicans ammunition against the one and only alternative: The Democratic Party.

What are you doing to ensure that the next Democratic president has an overwhelming majority in Congress (absolute political power - the SCOTUS can then be dealt with).

So, WTF are you doing to ensure that there's an overwhelming Democratic victory in November ... which you keep referencing, Coriolanus ? ? ? ?

WTF are you doing to ensure that there's an overwhelming Democratic victory in November, 2028 ... which you keep referencing, Coriolanus ? ? ? ?

Because all I see is you tearing down the Democratic Party because they're not pure enough for you.

You hate the Democratic Party?

Fine.

Do your damage, Coriolanus.

But don't kid yourself into thinking that you're fighting the good fight.

Cause if you even listen to some on the right side of the aisle right here on Drudge, they've actually thanked you for damning Democrats.

Is that you goal?

You're welcome, my friend.

The winning ticket platform for any POTUS candidate in 2028:

1) Immediately abolish ICE and DHS. First by Executive Order, and then through Congress. On 20 Jan 2029, immediately after the WH luncheon, this E.O. can be in the Federal Register by 1600 hours: "All ICE and DHS personnel will operate unarmed and unmasked at all times and will bring aliens before Immigration Judges (IJ) for due process. Should DHS or ICE personnel feel insecure about conducting their mission, the USAG will deploy one pair of armed DUSMs to accompany them. A Presidential Task Force will then purge the DHS and ICE records of Americans and Permanent Residents obtained without warrant."

2) Immediately stop funding Israel. First by Executive Order, and then through Congress. This E.O. can be published in the Federal Register by 1605 Hours, 20 Jan 2029: "The US government immediately stops sending hardworking American taxpayer dollars to the State of Israel."

3) Expand Medicare for all to provide Americans with universal healthcare, as enjoyed by the residents of Germany, Israel, Canada, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, tiny Albania, and in 2027, Mexico.

4) Investigate all oligarchs who made billions under the nefandous Trumpf junta and use the federal courts to claw back their ill-gotten pelf with lawsuits.

5) Enlarge the size of the Supreme Court by adding enough Justices to outnumber the reactionary Republicans who have constipated the execution of justice for years. There is no Constitutional limit on the number of SCOTUS Justices nor is there a legal requirement that a justice must be an attorney.

Who doesn't what this?

Southern states rush to draw new Congressional districts after Supreme Court ruling

A movement is underway that could alter the political landscape for generations to come in the Deep South. Republican-controlled states are rushing to consolidate GOP power after the Supreme Court further gutted the Voting Rights Act in a case out of Louisiana. Two weeks ago, the court limited how race can be used to draw the borders of congressional districts. Black voters say that their voices are now at stake. NPR's Debbie Elliott reports.

Apparently, enough changed their voting habits/registration to produce this, bell boi.

You're welcome.

#19 | Posted by BellRinger

'Tis amazing how those born, raised and still living in Michigan can opine on the voting habits of Southerners, the majority of whom bell boi only knows from this:

Hee Haw, bell boi.

According to Republicans, Catholic nuns are too stupid to vote.

Retired nuns barred from voting in Indiana

At least 10 retired nuns in South Bend, Indiana, were barred from voting in today's Indiana primary election because they lacked photo IDs required under a state law that the supreme court upheld last week.

Thanks for highlighting that, bell boi.
