OK, don't get me started on PM Orban.

He is the leader of the Country that currently holds the six-month rotating presidency of the EU.

And there is some, I'll say, dismay among the other Countries of the EU. ...

@#15 ... Now, homes are unaffordable and you must pay an extra $20k/year to send your kid to private school. ...

Sending your kid to private school is too expensive?

You current alias has just outed itself.

Congrats for that admission.

And, welcome to the world of the working people who want wages to to enable them to make ends meet.

@#2 ... A man charged with four murders in Oakland will be released in 4 months thanks to a plea deal provided by DA Pamela Price ...

And your current alias' comment is relevant... how?

Or is it the usual deflection attempt, trying to pull attention away from the thread's topic that your current alias seems to be afraid to address?

Step up.

@#69 ... Only according to Democrat elected members of Congress. ...

Got links?

.... I believe ...

And the basis of that belief is ...

More from the article...

... At the height of the Cold War, Charley Kline and Bill Duvall were two bright-eyed engineers on the front lines of one of technology's most ambitious experiments. Kline, a 21-year-old graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Duvall, a 29-year-old systems programmer at Stanford Research Institute (SRI), were working on a system called Arpanet, short for the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network.

Funded by the US Department of Defense, the project aimed to create a network that could directly share data without relying on telephone lines.

Instead, this system used a method of data delivery called "packet switching" that would later form the basis for the modern internet.

It was the first test of a technology that would change almost every facet of human life. But before it could work, you had to log in. ...

@#62 ... These are the same people that were outraged when Trump calls Haiti a -------- country but then routinely do the same to red states in the US. ...

Got links?

@#96 ...Maybe Trump wants to lose? ...

Yeah, I've seen that opinion proffered on various sites.

I do not believe it for a moment.

For starters, whenever fmr Pres Trump has lost, he seems to rail out at the decision being rigged or corrupt.

He never seems to be able to admit his loss.

He always seems to portray himself as the victim.

As his revenge-politics agenda seems to show.

@#13 ... I doubt I'll be able to convince anyone of anything: ...

yeah, that is how i view your comments.

Informative, to help me construct, negate, or confirm my current opinions.

I thank you for your comments.

They cause me pause.

From the cited article...

... These United States of America, we are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators," Harris said. "The United States of America is the greatest idea of humanity ever devised, a nation big enough to encompass all our dreams, strong enough to withstand any fracture or fissure between us, and fearless enough to imagine a future of possibilities." ...

@#22 ... He walked them back in the article you linked to: ...

fwiw, Pres Biden did not walk back those comments, a spokesperson did.

@#7 ... Should the 25th amendment be executed? ...

My response...

Should the 25th Amendment be executed in advance for fmr Pres Trump?

Wow, why are the GOP pinning their hopes upon this candidate?

Is the GOP so concerned about winning and taking control, that they apparently want to trash Democracy?

Yer up ....

@#2 ... Biden is 100% correct.

Trump supporters are garbage human beings. ...

Maybe, maybe not.

But how well did that line of comments work for fmr SoS Clinton back in the day.

That aside, it was a comment by Pres Trump, not a comment by VP Harris.

@#4

... White House spokesman Andrew Bates said Biden "referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as garbage.'"

Biden then took to social media to personally clarify what he said. ...

imo, he should have thought about that before he said it.

That aside, Pres Biden is not the one running for election.

Killing ObamaCare is not just a goal of Spkr Johnson.

It is a goal of the GOP.

The question is why?

The GOP used to be quite in favor of the concepts of ACA.

Why?

Because the GOP seemed to be in favor of reducing medical costs.

But then, wealthy private equity entered into the medical industry and profit seems to have become the goal, not patient outcome ...

So, a person visiting the emergency room?

Yeah, we (the GOP) don't want to pay for that.

They did not seem to like the additional cost they were assessed with because of those who went to the hospital for treatment, and might die if they die not get the treatment they could not afford. So, hospitals spread that cost of treatment across all other patients. And the GOP seems to object.

Now that hospitals seem to be run by private equity for profit, the equations has changed.

Pay or die, now seems to be the focus of the Republicans.

@#19 ... Do you imagine Biden will walk back his statements about Trump supporters being garbage? ...

My first question is:

Why should he walk back something that seems to be quite obvious?

As a follow-up, I would add that Pres Biden is not running for re-election.

So, then I'll ask, why should he?

@#93 ... (for not singing) ...

An opinion of a former employee of the record industry ...

She may not have been allowed to sing at this event by her contract.

@#15 ... No, everyone already knows she was the 3rd wheel in a Throuple with Montel Williams. ...

Got links?

@#61 ... So the media are in complete freak out over a tasteless joke made by a roast comedian. ...

Sure, blame it on the media.

From the cited article...

... "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," Biden said. "[Trump's] demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American." ...

Yeah, imo, he blew it with that comment.

But he is old and may not know what he says.

Isn't that the GOP description of Pres Biden?

And, if I may add, maybe it is a good thing that the Democrats put VP Harris up front instead of Pres Biden?

Will the GOP do something similar?

@#7 ... And there it was. We should return to the days when all the money flowed into a handful of pockets, when the Carnegies and Rockefellers got to make all the rules ...

Woof.

With supporters like that, does a candidate really need contrarians?

@#10 ... "Our polling consistently showed by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues." ...

OK, then why does he think Democrats agree with his views?

And why does he think those views now seem to be taken on by Trump's MAGA cult?

Is he saying that MAGA now seems to espouse Democratic views?

@#4

Wow.

More from the cited article...

... Mary Howard-Elley fervently believes illegal immigration in the U.S. is a critical problem that only former President Donald Trump can solve. She says the continuation of his border wall and promised mass deportations will make the country safer.

She agrees with Trump's unfounded claims that Democrats are opening the borders to allow noncitizens to vote, fearing that it could ultimately cost him the election.

Howard-Elley didn't pay much attention when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott helped fuel that narrative by announcing that the state had removed thousands of supposed noncitizens from its rolls, claiming some had a history of voting.

Then the U.S. citizen learned she was among them.

The retired Transportation Security Administration agent was confused by how the county could come to that conclusion. And she seethed at the idea that anyone would question the citizenship of a former federal employee with the "whitest name you could have." ...

@#6 ... It is my current opinion. ...

OK, rereading my comment, I want to elaborate.

I currently have no opinion of who will win or lose the election. For me, as many others, too close to tell.

The "my current opinion" comment in #6 was about what may happen if fmr Pres Trump loses, i.e., the result of his possible loss.

Yeah, I could have worded that better in #6.
