-You're just mad that RCADE banned your Jeff account and you can't use it anymore. Cry me a river.

I thought he reinstated Jeff's account.

"Haven't heard of any children dying since the cuts."

neither has anyone else here.

they'll cite studies that estimate deaths around the world (which wasn't what you meant...but whatever) but they had to go find them.

It's not being reported, which is the point.

It should be.

Of course they won't like it. It's not an environment to put a beat down on protestors....or shoot them.

They didn't get into this to "serve" their fellow Americans other than to beat some of them up.

I won't bother with looking it up but I'm sure the vast majority of people in Kansas (fairly typical red state) receiving forms of welfare such as snap, medicaid, free school lunches, EITC, etc.....are WHITE.

Cutting those programs mostly hurt white people. Not to mention it indirectly hurts white business owners when poor people have less to spend in their community.

Racists, I imagine, are fine with that so long as they're told blacks are also harmed. Racists are racists first and probably don't care about the collateral damage.

"It's kind of pure the way Republicans love racism more than they love money."

well said

"Are you nuts?
Republicans hate Black Americans receiving welfare."

But they still authorize it.

Republicans control how many state houses? Governor's mansions?

Quite a few........go look at how they distribute funds to welfare, medicaid, etc......

they still hand it out.

Republican voters are so stupid and blind they don't even realize that.

The irony is that republicans at the federal and state level approve bills that includes black people getting welfare.

At least it was the truth......LOL

Thanks. Sorry....I could have done that. That's kind of what I thought it was.

It's a signal of what's coming.............thanks for sharing.

surprise, there are lot of folks in the Middle East and Asia....and Europe who aren't thrilled with Iran's nuclear weapons program.

-Morgan Stanley recently warned default rates in private credit direct lending could surge to 8%

what is "private credit direct lending"? what kind of a loan is that?

"And I can definitely understand why whites having to compete against everyone else equally, having their privilage taken away, is seen by many as an attack. Especially by those who aren't actually very competitive, who do not have much to offer, whose pretty much only point in their favor 20 years ago would have been the fact they were white. Now they have nothing. Incels sitting in their parents' basement feeling like the victim."

Very interesting challenge to tackle there. How does a politician rally up that block of voters? The white incels sitting in their parents' basement.

That's actually a fairly big group. As you stated, that group of average or below average white kids would still survive in the past, even thrive in the job market. Not so anymore.

Who are they mad at? Who do they blame? certainly not themselves.....so it's going to be the folks who have outworked them. This group of lazy white losers are ripe for someone to come along, victimize them, and tell them what they want to hear.

it's obvious that's what happened and where Trump saw that opportunity.

No republican is going to let a group of voters like that stay stagnant if it's possible to mobilize them.

"a "bi-partisan" group of do nothings in Congress suggesting retirement age be raised to 70 to 75."

So, your solution is to complain about the status, and then demonize any effort to address the problem.

This is why there are no solutions (not there really has to be).

I've been hearing my entire life that SS is on the brink of collapse.

99% of the people chanting that are completely clueless, regardless of what side of the aisle they're on.

I'm reasonable....but here on the DR, that's code for sticking my head in the sand pretending the place isn't on fire.

I think SS has been the easiest ginned up calamity to be used to keep folks right where they are on the correct side of the fence, politically speaking.

It's sad, really....that almost all Americans allow themselves to be herded like cattle on this issue.

-IRAN KILLING PROTESTORS WHETHER 3000 OR 30000 DOES NOT JUSTIFY A WAR OF AGGRESSION

what does war of aggression mean?

I think if 30K folks were being slaughtered.....there would be a humanitarian justification for intervention.

That's no defense for what we're doing now.

But don't get carried away.

nobody questions those referrals. Not private health insurance nor medicare.

They just assume it was justified. Technically, they can make the argument the referral was justified and appropriate.

It's no different in how prescriptions have worked for decades.

That's fair.

Did it hurt to type that?

local bar.......I'm not allowed in the local bars anymore.

intentionally done by the ICE agents who pulled the trigger.

Are you suggesting it was "intentional" on the part of higher ups? They outright ordered ICE agents to kill protestors?

So they killed a few.........are those protests still happening?

-Those damn leftists always taking note of the number of confederate flags and nazi tattoos at republican gatherings.

it's fair game, IMO.

I agree with this but it's not as simple as "Trump's policies".

The article doesn't really indicate anything that's unique or peculiar to Trump, other than he's simply more mean than previous republicans.

The examples are the racist posts from young republicans. Racism is considered, by the left, to be a pillar of conservatism. Revealing that racism isn't special.

It's merely letting the crime fit the punishment.

"MAGA might have driven the final nail in the coffin but the ground work for this was laid decades ago by Limbaugh and his ilk."

-I have stated this over and over again regarding California. It has the highest income inequality in the US.

People and the partisan politics can't decide if that's a good thing or not.

income equality is a good thing when you're seeing it in a liberal state.....but it's bad in a red state or a country run by republicans.

IOW, partisan politics get in the way of determining if income inequality is good or bad.

"this is probably why you've done so poorly, just an inability to read and comprehend."

without realizing it, some folks are destined to be poor no matter what opportunities they have right in front of them.

-Was Sen Fetterman a MAGA false flag plant among Democrats?

you're saying democrats are too dumb to figure anything out?

Or....could it be that you really have no tolerance for a moderate?

which is more likely to be true.

A. The democratic party can't sniff out a "MAGA false plant" in a candidate for the US Senate
B. The Drudge retort has some members who cry about anything that doesn't go their way and accuses any democrat of really being a MAGA should they not vote entirely the way they want.

honestly, his bloodline has nothing to do with him. He's a loner who loves ------.
