- it exists.

So does a non-oblivious post from 1Nut, somewhere in some other dimension, surely... but it's so rare as to be totally unimportant.

Voter fraud that changes the results of elections here doesn't exist, and it's not even close to nor trending towards existing.

The only reason you talk about it because Trump lies about it.

"The liberal Yabloko party, the only registered political entity that dared to criticize the war, was removed from the ballot last month by Russia's Supreme Court, and only has a few dozen candidates in the single-constituency races.

Additionally, some anti-war politicians have been imprisoned or forced to flee abroad ahead of the campaign."

And people wonder why Trumpy SO admires Vlad's Russia.

Why, when all the Candidates are yours, you can even have Electronic Voting!

It now appears that Thick as a Brick was prescient album predicting Trumpers.

Of course he had a huge cache of pictures... including the Birthday Porn DJT drew for him, while whispering about their mutual, 'wonderful secret'.

And furthermore, lol... you and your Gen ran away from faux Communist Capitalist Oligarchs in your country, who have turned it into one of the most Corrupt Authoritarian countries on the planet.

All on your watch, 1Runaway. And you're even planning on giving up your DNA and retiring there after your Gen refused to speak out, much less actually protest the takeover.

INut types words, but they are incoherent at the best of times.

... is just what I noted it is; a whiny obfuscation and not an argument of any kind.

You just found a new word, boomer, and decided you'd only ever use it derogatorily. Which is really your only shtick here.

Well, that and being the Perfect Reverse Barometer on EVERY subject imaginable.

- You're admitting you're pissed poverty went down?

I'm admitting that anyone who would type that really had nothing relevant to say.

- back to this ---- again.

IS that an argument in Chinese? Or is it just a whiny obfuscation yet again like it is in English?

And if you don't get that 2025 was mostly a Biden/Harris economy that had meader improvements in poverty rate we see here... but that's before Trump's War and his chokehold on the economy and the People with his Big Bad Bill to help the Elites.

Because when they do well, that all tinkles down, right?

"The poverty rate " the percentage of people living in poverty " dipped 0.5 percentage point to 10.2% last year, the bureau said. The supplemental measure of poverty, which takes into account non-cash government benefits and taxes, was at 13.1%, and the median household income increased 2.6% to $87,460."

"Under the guise of giving states more "flexibility," it proposes to eliminate class size standards while reducing children's access to needed medical and dental care.

This follows President Donald Trump's previous attempts to freeze Head Start funding in 2025 that impacted 20,000 children in 23 states, and consideration of budget proposals that would have eliminated it entirely.

It is clear to us that targeting Head Start is the Trump Administration's latest shot across the bow at America's social safety net.

Its signature legislative achievement, last year's "One Big Beautiful Bill," cut $187 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), expanded its already complex and burdensome work requirements, and imposed similar requirements on Medicaid nationwide for the first time.

As a result, more than 4 million Americans have lost SNAP benefits over the past year, and more than 10 million Americans are projected to lose their health insurance over the coming decade.

Making it harder for Americans to afford food or see a doctor is a recipe for exacerbating poverty, not alleviating it."

"Trump's War on Kids
In just months, the Trump administration has gutted access to health care for millions of children,
slashed funding for school meals and nutrition assistance, fired thousands of workers dedicated
to advancing child welfare and protecting children, and unleashed policies that traumatize and
harm immigrant families and LGBTQ+ youth. These actions are not isolated"they reflect a
coordinated agenda that will leave a generation of children sicker, hungrier, and less safe.

Republican Actions Harming Children

Trump and Republicans Enacted Historic Cuts to Children's Health Care:
Nearly half of U.S. children rely on Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) for health insurance. Trumpcare cuts over $1 trillion in federal funding from Medicaid
and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), making it impossible for states to shield children and
families from harm. Republican cuts threaten health care coverage for millions of children
enrolled in Medicaid, despite the Republican rhetoric that no children will be harmed by their
budget law.
For example, children's hospital...."

- Given my understanding how US politics works

That and 5 dollars will buy you a cup of coffee.

Visitor reminds us that there are sad, small minded people in the world who lash out when they are reminded that's what they are.

The Cruelty is the Point.

"The cruelty is the point" is a political phrase coined by The Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer in a 2018 essay.

Meaning and Origin

The Phrase: Adam Serwer first used the term to describe how political loyalty and community among certain groups are forged by celebrating the shared suffering inflicted on outsiders.

The Origin: The essay responded to a rally where political figures mocked a survivor who accused a high-profile nominee of sexual assault, prompting laughter and bonding from the crowd.

Trumpers bonding... nice picture, eh?

"Supporters view the analogy as a call for basic human decency, collaboration, and simple shared rules"reminiscent of the popular philosophy "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten""emphasizing cooperation and treating others with foundational respect."

Apparently they don't teach that to all the pre-2016 Only One Child families in China.

I had a Prius V years ago. Great car, 40 mpg, could put a fridge in the cargo space.

1Nut, 'you ignorant ----', non-reading POS...

"Meeks cannot single-handedly veto the $2.8bn arms transfer, but his leverage comes from the informal custom of "tiered review".

Under this practice, the state department submits major weapons packages to top foreign affairs lawmakers for an informal sign-off before triggering a formal notification to Congress.

Killing the sale outright would need a veto-proof joint resolution of disapproval in both chambers, a bar Congress has not cleared. A similar push by Senator Bernie Sanders failed along party lines in April."

from the article I posted with the Headline I posted

No Lyrics Needed | Jeff Beck " Cause We've Ended as Lovers || Sisters React

(wonderful bass playing by Tal Wilkenfeld)

Suboaz?

- What a whiny arse Headline....
What was it? I missed the original.

It was a Headline blaming Dems for what Trump's appointees decided was best for the economy.

So typical.

The Fed just needs 1Nuttybuddy to teach them about inflation....

"What a maroon!"

But he always has Gen-blaming, even when he doesn't know doodley squat about them.
