- the 70s was horrible from what I am reading.

The 70's was the last time working people could afford a home, kids, a car, and a life because they were being paid a Living Wage.

But when the Silent Gen and the Greatest Gen joined the Baby Boomers in the streets to protest Nixon, Republicans, and the Vietnam War... the won on all counts.

Nixon resigned, the war ended, and the People had shown their Power.

That was when Republicans decided that enough Freedom was enough and the People... the Rabble, was getting too uppity.

So they and their Military Industrial Complex and other Corporations who lost money after the People hit the streets decided that they could sell Trickle Down Economics via a B grade actor in Ronald Reagan, install Planned Recessions, and stack the SC to get laws like Citizens United to make Money Speech and give us Corporate Personhood; Oligarchs as Super Citizens.

The '70's was the last sniff of Freedom Americans have had in 50 years, and now we have, "America's Hitler" in the WH, according to his own VP.

"Trickle-down economics is not a theory. It's theft."

"We we have forgotten that that's what politics is supposed to be about. Service.
Elected officials are not supposed to serve themselves or their donors. They're supposed to serve us."

"I ran for office not to be served, but to serve.
And then there's Ken Paxton.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.

He has sold us out time and time again.

Ken Paxton's mug shot was taken just a few miles from here at the Collin County Courthouse where where he was indicted for investment fraud. He convinced his own friends to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into a tech company. But what he didn't tell them was that he was making a commission off their investments.

He was scamming his own friends.

If Ken Paxton will sell out his own friends for a quick buck, what makes you think he won't sell you out in the United States Senate?

Listen, Ken Paxton has escaped accountability, but accountability is coming on November 3rd.

Ken Paxton is everything that's wrong with this broken system. He does not serve us. He serves himself. Since taking office, Ken Paxton's net worth has increased 7,000%.

While our pay has remained stagnant, he now owns 11 homes while most Texans
can't afford one.

He takes bribes from wealthy donors while blocking overtime pay for Texas workers and gutting our healthcare. This kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system.

It's why we can't get ahead no matter how hard we work. It's why we
can't afford anything.

For 50 years, mega donors and their puppet politicians have been stealing from us with their bribes, their bailouts, and their billionaire tax breaks.

Trickle down economics is not a theory. It's theft.

They they have been stealing from the American people, stealing the wealth that we created. It's why everything sucks right now.

It's why everyone is so angry. The American people aren't asking for a lot.

A job we don't hate, a house big enough to raise a family in, and a little leftover to go on vacation every once in a while. That is harder than it should be. Harder than it should be in America.

We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis. We don't
have a government of, by, and for the people. We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires."

"Filmed at their home on Martha's Vineyard in 1977, Carly Simon and James Taylor perform his song: You Can Close Your Eyes.

But... but... what about the CATS!

They're EATING THE CATS!

"Smothers Bros. Comedy Hour Performance
Taped: December 6th, 1968 Aired: December 15th
Saxophone: Curtis Amy String & Horn sections: Nelson Riddle Orchestra

Story about Robbie's black eye is either:
1) He got into a fight with Jim
2) A car accident
3) A guy went to punch Jim for being a "hippie". Jim ducked, nailed Robby right in the eye.
All of these have been said by band members."

"Can Undocumented Immigrants Get Federal Government Health Insurance?

No, they cannot, and that's been the case for decades. Under a 1996 law, undocumented immigrants are not eligible to enroll in health insurance programs that are run by or paid for by the federal government.

Even before 1996, undocumented immigrants had very limited access to health care, but the restrictions were created program by program."

All this whining about immigrants, who have been a net economic plus in this country for decades and commit fewer crimes per capita than do citizens, is coming from people easily manipulated into fear by politicians who know that dividing people is the only way they can win.

Posters who support this division have their heads too far up their arses to smell their own fear.

The ignorant ones are those who 'think' that all Islam is violent, or even all alike.

It's like saying that all Trumpers are idiots... oh, wait. Never mind.

You know nothing, 1Nut Snow.

And your China's people and places are fine, but it's the Corrupt faux-Communist Crony Capitalist Defence Security State that will take your DNA when you go back.

I'm sure you'll give it willingly to Dear Leader.

What he means is that following the Law today is left-wing, so it's really great that rwingers have Donald Trump to slobber over.

You know, because Obama was a foreign born Communist who wore brown suits.

He's the kind of 'Constitutional expert' that helped create Citizens United with Corporations as Super Citizens and Money as speech.

White nationalist misogynists never die... they just post/smell like it.

I am more and more convinced that BJ is actually an ingenious Mao se Dung sockpuppet.

Due a new Exec Order, the actual new name of the airport will be, The Dolly Parton Loves Trump Airport, Casino, and Motel.

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

You might want to hope that the same measure of judgment you use for trans people isn't used on you, BJ.

- aspirations of transgender dominance.

They are less than 2 percent of the population, prolly more like 1 percent, and you are worried about their 'dominance'?

That's pathetic, even for you... especially since you aren't in any way their judge.

"Thank you, Mr President, sir! Your check is in the mail!" - Chevron

"I don't care that Trump lies about being the rightful winner". - BJ

For when legitimacy isn't important in your Presidential politics.

Caring more about getting your way on political and social issues whether the Pres in legitimate or not is unpatriotic to the max.

apropos of things being released today...

If Nixon had had Kegsy, he could have lost in 'Nam in 6 weeks and saved us all a lot of boys coming home in a box.

James Talarico EDUCATES Lauren Boebert for calling America a Christian nation

It may be that Heffy is hosting on Fox News now:

"Fox News host CUTS OFF interview after James Talarico fact checks him":

We're prolly just lucky he didn't rename it the Gay of Whoremuz.

If anyone ever needed more evidence that JeffyBelle doesn't actually read the pure crapola that he posts from sources like Newsmax... or that 1Nut won't make a laughably idiotic excuse for any rwing nonsense at all... well, you never have to wonder about either ever again!

CAN you even imagine the utter OUTRAGE from the rwing had brown-suit Nigerian Obama put his image and name on a US coin?

BJ would have left his wife and started dating Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg!
