Bernie Speaks at Texas Democratic Party Convention

Streamed live 5 hours ago

"Whether you're from Texas or New York, people are sick and tired of living paycheck to paycheck while the rich get richer.

Our job: keep building a grassroots movement in every corner of the country to create a government that works for all, not the few."

He's fiddling around while America burns.

Her speech at the Presidential Center Opening last week was one for the ages:

This is the Gov of misfit loyal incompetents... you know, just to make double sure that the People's Gov in no way werks for the People.

"And that was put into such stark relief at this really remarkable moment when Jonathan and I went to the Oval Office uh on March 16th of this year to see him.

At the end of our reporting process, we we had been asking for an interview. We we had fact-checking questions.... but we didn't want to, you know, sort of have an open mic night with him. We wanted to ask specifics about our reporting. And we did.

But at one point, we asked about power and how he was seeing himself in the context of power just based on things he had been saying to people in public and elsewhere. And it was an astonishing moment.

He had his omnipresent adviser, Natalie Harp. He said, "Go Natalie, go
get the the thing from the historian." I'm paraphrasing. She comes back with these two printouts that she says were were from a historian, words by a presidential historian.

And she hands them to us and the start of the document says essentially Donald Trump is the most powerful person who has ever walked the face of the earth.

And then he proceeds to tick off what he describes as the top 10.

Mao, Hitler, Stalin, uh, Tamarlain, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, the Caesars, you know, some of the great monsters, and conquerors of history.

And he was making no moral distinction at all between, people who had had murdered and people who had conquered or people who had, you know, had built empires.

It was that they had power and they were willing to use it and that was how he was seeing himself.

The the punchline here was that it turned out that the person who wrote it was not a historian.

It was Gary Player, the golfer's former caddy and business associate... but that didn't matter a great deal.

I mean, the key thing to the people around him is is, you know, is the advice he's getting.

A a president has to have people who will tell him when he's wrong. and and if you look at his foreign policy record, it doesn't look like he's got that."

(early excerpt... there's a Transcript)

Kinda juicy seeing all those wealthy beach-going Muscovites trapped behind the lines in Occupied Crimea with no fuel to get home; getting a bit of a taste of the war they brought on Ukraine.

Not to mention seeing Vlad having to protect or destroy his palaces and villas north of the city.

DJT has said that he loves the smell of inflation in the mornings.

You can go to about 10 min 30 secs in here for translated version of his post:

Ya'll should catch Danforth's New Book, 'Math for Morons'.

Should be on Amazon soon!

- intellectual arguments don't sell in the public marketplace.

The current public marketplace in this country has been intentionally dumbed down and underpaid so as to make them pliable rwing voters.

Wright and John Lennox sell 100,000s of thousands of books around the world, though; Wright's New Testament translation is highly regarded:

Sardonic stuff. All I know is that DJT is gonna want a split... or he'll sue and or Deport her!

Oh, and that he actually closely resembles another bible character:

"Key figures like Bruce Bartlett and David Stockman"both primary architects of the Reagan administration's economic policies"did ultimately conclude that original "pure" supply-side economics did not work as intended.

Specifically, they argued that tax cuts failed to generate enough revenue to pay for themselves.

The Core Flaws: Why the Architects Doubted the Theory (more)

- Trickle down voodoo economics was --------.

"The Empirical Evidence Rising Inequality:

A major study by economists at the London School of Economics evaluated 50 years of data across 18 industrialized nations and concluded that tax cuts for the wealthy consistently drive up income inequality without providing a meaningful boost to GDP or employment.

Stagnant Wages:

Critics point to the fact that while corporate profits and wealth at the top tiers have surged since the 1980s, real wages for the majority of workers have often failed to keep pace with the overall cost of living."

Fiscal Deficits:

Proponents originally claimed that tax cuts would pay for themselves by stimulating enough economic activity to balance budgets; however, supply-side tax policies historically result in significantly wider budget deficits.

Modern Consensus

Today, many economists and policy analysts argue that wealth generally remains concentrated in the hands of the top 1 percent rather than "trickling" down to the broader population.

The consensus leans increasingly toward demand-side or "middle-out" economics"the idea that broad-based middle-class prosperity drives sustainable growth."

Hilarious!

the missing part of that post:

"Contested Causes: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) attributes a significant portion of these removals to the removal of ineligible individuals and fraud reduction.

However, nonpartisan researchers and policy experts contend that tougher documentation requirements and understaffed state agencies are causing eligible households to fall through the cracks.

Impact on Families: Recent investigations indicate that a large share"nearly half"of those removed from the rolls in states reporting age demographics are children."

Among agnostics, atheists, and theists there are some liberals, progressives, conservatives, and rwingers in each group... and vice versa, I guess.

Some more than others, one supposes, but for every white nationalist Christian there are... well, here's some stats:

I was pretty shocked years ago when I discovered the Far Rwing Catholic faction in South FL with their own Pizza-financed University and Rush Limbaugh mouthpieces.

So weird.

Ah, Beverly Butthurt from previous Comments... jajaja!

People who can eat and feed their children can werk, people who can't don't.

This is like Abstract Algebra to rwingers.
