When I hear Democrats talking about "the rich" or Oligarchy,
I saw somewhere that 75% of Billionaires are Democrats and something like 88% give to Democratic political causes.
The most hypocritical party there is.

It didn't even occur to you to ask what add those percentages for Republicans, did it?
You're just not very good at this thing called "perspective."
You have lived in the safety bubble for far too long.

Shrimpdicklick must love the fact that Trump is down 40 points in the youth vote.
What they see now, everyone will soon see.
Well, not the Cult. The Cult only sees what they are told to see.

"Newsome is done"...is he? Or is he playing 4D chess. He sees a lot of getable young male voters in the podcast sphere. He has a new podcast, how do you attract a different audience from the Pod Save or other liberal podcasts who are basically only speaking to liberals? Get Kirk and Bannon and other voices influential in MAGAtland, introduce yourself to their listeners, sound reasonabel while you show the liberals who will listen to your podcast how insane they are. If Newsom plays this right he could peel off a chunk of the softer Rogan bros, and bring them back to the Dems. He is the liberal governor of one of the most liberal states in the country, time to tack to the center for a Presidential run. After all, he will have to win all those Biden to Dotard swing states. How do you do that? In 2025 you do that in exactly the way he currently is. I don't like it, but I understand it.

Boaz is the kind of guy who says 75% of the civilians he killed were terrorists; the rest were women and children.

Beats me. They voted to destroy it, now they want to keep it?

With support of rulings like "you can't deport criminal illegals" and "you can't keep mentally ill people out of the military" also "you can't cut government fraud waste and abuse of taxpayer money" what do the Democrats have to worry about?

That's not it. It's: You can't black bag criminal illegals, or anyone else for that matter, to deport them. All that's being asked is due process.
And we know the reason you're saying with criminal illegals is because citizens are next to go. We know that because Trump said it.
You want tyranny, not quite sure why. Are you a Saudi national?

If you keep denegrating the voters you need, why would they vote for you?

No, wait. That's denegritude.

Everything dumbkoft.
Now Trumpy's preparing to undermine the 2026 elections.
Nothing is safe from a criminally insane tyrant bent on revenge and retribution .

And by revenge and retribution you mean doing a few things to the Democrats that they did to him. That and deporting illegal aliens, restoring our national sovereignty, cutting government spending that's wasting taxpayer dollars, and keeping the mentally ill out of the military

Oh you poor dear! Show us on the doll .. where did those mean ole Dems touch him?
The prosecutors and courts tried to hold Trumpy accountable for his crimes.
Congress tried to hold Trumpy accountable for his crimes.
Now it's entirely just up to the courts. Because Congress has capitulated its responsibilities to the Lyin King. And if King Trumpy were to have his way there will be no more opposition from the courts.
When a Democrat commits a crime I expect him to also be held fully accountable by whomever is in charge atm.
But this whole revenge and retribution policy will not end well for republicans.
Just as the whole McCarthy and red scare era did not end well for those who perpetrated their lies on the American public and destroyed the lives and careers of fellow Americans for political gain.

Snoofy I'm pretty sure the lefts stance is more in line with sanctuary cities than "All that's being asked is due process."
And that drives away moderates.

"Snoofy I'm pretty sure the lefts stance is more in line with sanctuary cities than "All that's being asked is due process."
So you're using your disdain of the left, and their pushing away moderates, a good enough reason to deny due process.
Let's be clear: You think they are getting all the due process they derive, when they get snatched off the streets and placed in detention, without so much as a hearing. Yes or no, KWRX25.

How do moderates feel about the trump administration ignoring court orders and violating the constitution?

Right to due process What the law says: The Fifth Amendment states that "no person ... shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
The issue of due process is at the heart of many immigration cases, including Reno v. Flores, the 1993 Supreme Court case that has returned to the spotlight with the surge in family separations. The case led to an agreement requiring the government to release children to their parents, a relative or a licensed program within 20 days.
In the ruling, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote "it is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings."
Are you further to the right of Scalia, KWRX25?

And there's the problem Snoofy, I didn't say that people are FOR denying due process. The lefts spinning of the situation, claiming that all they want is due process after years of open borders and sanctuary cities is blatantly disingenuous.
You then spin it that if people don't agree with you, or hold any other position that they are defacto for the bad actions of the other extreme, the far right.
Which leads into answering Alexandrite... we are against that too. The right is making the mistake of seeing moderates flee the left, and are overplaying their hand, swinging the pendulum back the other way prematurely.
The moderate right could have enjoyed years of a majority, but they're seemingly fumbling that away too.
Whichever party can court the growing middle while tempering their extreme wings will be the party to attract the moderates next election cycle.

So those are dots, along the same line.
The line starts with "due process" which Republicans don't support any more and frankly never have.
Once you believe in due process, it becomes clear how taking any opportunity to place criminal sanction on undocumented persons makes the community less safe, because now undocumented crime victims are easy marks for criminals, knowing that their victims won't dare come forward because they will be deported. The police themselves could shake them down, for example, and there would be no recourse, for if they complain, they just get deported.
So, if you like a permanent underclass, and Republicans always do, then naturally you oppose Sanctuary Cities because you believe people you don't like should have to live like Anne Frank.
KWRX25, I know you're smart enough to understand everything I said. Can you explain why you don't agree with it? I'd love to know why I'm in the wrong here.

And why don't you want due process? The only reason I keep hearing is "because of the left." That's not a man's answer. Do better.

If you didn't vote to stop a 34 time convicted felon and adjudicated rapist you're not a moderate.
you just want to be selfishly catered to. go play "both sides" with someone else, I'm not buying that the parties are equally bad. Kamala Harris wouldn't be doing anything comparable to this.

Maybe you didn't say it, but it's true. The entire Trump Administration is against due process for non-citizens. FACT!
