"I can't think of anything that would be this order of magnitude," said the group's senior policy director, Marc Goldwein, about the perceived effect a Trump presidency would have. Among the Trump policies that concern the committee are promises that Social Security recipients would pay no federal income tax on their benefits. Currently, 40 percent of beneficiaries pay taxes, which go directly back to fund Social Security. read more

Agraphic ad comparing journalists and celebrities who support abortion rights, including Whoopi Goldberg, to Nazis was recently aired during a commercial break on The View. The spot, aired on October 9, includes photos of 26 celebrities and journalists, including Chris Evans, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, and Rachel Maddow. "I am so sick of stupid celebrities and lying journalists," a voiceover says. "Why don't you fools follow the science?" The clip then shows images of what appear to be fetuses, and says, "This is a human being, human being, human beings," before referring to abortion as murder. It goes on to say of these celebrities, "If history even remembers you, you'll be remembered like Leni Riefenstahl and Joseph Goebbels," two Nazi propagandists whose images were displayed on screen. Randall Terry is a despicable human being and a God damned liar!

ormer Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson offered a damning assessment of the network as she explained just how bad its spread of conspiracy theories and misinformation has become. During an appearance on the CNN segment, "Democracy in Peril," Carlson discussed many aspects of Fox News' critical role in the spread of misinformation and falsehoods. Since former President Donald Trump took office, conspiracy theories have been on the rise and Fox News has become a driving force for it. Conservative primetime news anchor Tucker Carlson has been at the center of misinformation and the power of his opinion has begun to influence Republican members of Congress.

Today I heard Musk say they want to cut spending by 3 trillion dollars but no acknowledgement that Trumo's tax cuts for the rich and inue tfor corporations went mostly to top executives in bonuses etc.

"Was expensive and eroded the U.S. revenue base. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated in 2018 that the 2017 law would cost $1.9 trillion over ten years,[3] and recent estimates show that making the law's temporary individual income and estate tax cuts permanent would cost another roughly $400 billion a year beginning in 2027.[4] Together with the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts enacted under President Bush (most of which were made permanent in 2012), the law has severely eroded our country's revenue base. Revenue as a share of GDP has fallen from about 19.5 percent in the years immediately preceding the Bus h tax cuts to just 16.3 percent in the years immediately following the Trump tax cuts, with revenues expected to rise to an annual average of 16.9 percent of GDP in 2018-2026 (excluding pandemic years), according to CBO. This is simply not enough revenue given the nation's investment needs and our commitments to Social Security and health coverage." It is a permanent reduction in revenue for the Federal Government

So what Musk is really saying is he wants to make the Trump tax cuts which arre set to expire in 2025, permanent for the rich and F**K!

Musk and Trump want to cut 2 Trillion from Sodial Sevurity and Mrficare to continue tax cuts that flow to the rich and corporations. electing Trump will have a direct cost to the elderly, most of whom are barely making it now!

Many or even most of the divisions in America today date back to the Civil Rights era and have been with us from that time; cThe Right ombined several emotional issues to cd-1960's. Opposition to the Vietnam war was branded "unpatriotic" by conservatives because the reasoning behind that war was we were fighting sgainst "Godless Communism." And the right held onto that even after we came to our senses and got out of Vietnam but soon after that 9-11 happened and provided a "Pearl Harborlike Event" that George W. Bush used to justify invading Iraq though it is documented that the plsn had been laid out years before 9-11 so that we could capture Iraq's oil fields (PNAC). So the Right combined several emotional issues to create a powerful political force they combined white resentment of Civil Rights, simple minded flag waving patriotism, objections to birth control and abortion combined with Evangelical Christianity, fear of women's liberation and gay rights and called it opposition to "Woke". The Right gained significant power this way which is still exerting tremendous desire to move our nation back to what conservatives view as better times so I just wanted to pick one major part of their coalition and look at where it really came from. I'm old enough to remember the growth of the major parts of the conservative coalition appearing in American politics and when they seemed to join other parts to create what Trump named MAGA, though without specifying the year that was so great we should want to return to it but it is obviously in the past, probably 40-50 years ago.

He needs to be arrested and charges under the Logan Act

"Logan Act, legislation enacted by the United States Congress (1799) that forbids private citizens from engaging in unauthorized correspondence with foreign governments. As amended, the act reads:"

Former Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren suggested that even though the meeting could have been "possibly illegal," it is unlikely the Logan Act will be used against the former president.

"On foreign policy, it's critical that America speaks with one voice," Warren told Newsweek. "The Logan Act prohibits individuals taking diplomacy into their own hands or undermining the government's official policy. Only two people have ever been charged for Logan Act violations, and Trump won't be the third but Trump using his camaraderie with U.S. adversaries like Orbn to weaken our foreign policy is possibly illegal and certainly un-American."

It is unclear what precisely the pair discussed during their meeting at Mar-a-Lago.
