Here comes the excuse.

When did you stop beating your wife?

Well, the Republicans beat their wives more than Democrats do.

When one party controls the WH and both houses of Congress, there should be n9 deficits and the ND should be paid down.

When one party controls the House and the opposition controls the WH, there should be vetoes of any deficits and ND increases.

Both parties pass more debt. Both parties do not veto to prevent more debt.

It's a two party problem.

But we all know, that if the President doesn't have any Political capital, it's not their fault what does or does not get passed. Even if the party has the majority in the House and Senate.

Its not their fault.

Let's reelect both parties despite the National Debt, the health insurance for all, MIC spending, international wars. Oops, not wars, just military actions without declarations, etc.

They are the same. Everything that is came from both action and lacking action.

So, when a party has the WH and both houses of Congress, the excuse is lacking political capital for not passing what they promise every election cycle.

So, the reason Trump can't get anything done is because his party holds both houses of Congress but the Trumps Capital is all used up.

And, when the opposition holds the House, the Presidents of both parties kept using their veto power until things were passed like immigration reform, health insurance for all, national debt reduction, etc.

Both parties have had the power to pass and power to veto.

If you get all the work done, what can you promise next?

The Dems will take the House and there will be lots impeachment and a surplus package to pay down the national debt will pass, improving how the government acts as a fiduciary of the public's money, and force Trump to veto it.

32 "Does using Photoshop to change someone's hair color or skin tone mean that image is no longer a depiction of an actual person?
Is there a point that exists when a derivative stops being a depiction of actual people and becomes something totally unique and new?"

Germany just had a court case over the underwater video turned into a cartoon.

In an April 2, 2026 landmark decision (Docket 20 W 2/26), the Dsseldorf Higher Regional Court ruled that transforming a copyrighted photograph into a comic-style image via AI does not infringe copyright if it discards the original's protectable artistic elements like framing, lighting, and focus.

Based on the court, the changes made allows it to bypass copyright. So, any famous picture or painting can be redobe to bypass. I'm sure Disney supports AI editing of their own artwork.

Who passes the budget increases?

And who can veto the bills?

Both parties pass deficits and both refuse to veto deficit spending.

House, Senate, and White House.

All responsible for spending.

I don't expect the Republicans to have surpluses if they held super majorities. Heck, they wont even try now.

If the held full majorities in the House Senate and held the White House and were talking super majorities, would the Democrats have surpluses to pay down the National Debt.

Humor yourself and imagine that power.

Would they?

Honestly?

Two parties have ruled the US since its birth.

Both parties have held the Purse and the Veto Pen.

Both are to blame.

The body is dying regardless of how many cuts the two parties have inflicted.

They both use the same sword. When one party finally sheathes the blade...

The DSA platform describes what?

After you read their platform, describe that government when they keep winning primaries.

Voters will have to decide which laws and the Constitution they want.

Labels means nothing. How they represent does.

Don't want MAGA? Fine. Do you want DSA?

The 17th amendment makes no sense to me. The Senators came via the State Legislature, not the voters like the House.

The State had input within Congress. It could use its own representative to stop the House, negotiate with the House, and certainly wouldn't pass laws damning the States to Federal servitude.

Never understood why the States surrendered the Senate, especially the smaller States.

It would be like the House of Lords surrendering their authority to a public vote for a commoner.

24 years the US has not accepted the ICC.

If the US did accept the ICC, guess which Presidents could face charges for crimes since 2002?

There are no statute of limitations.

The DSA problem is popping up everywhere and it isn't Republican sites pointing it out.

It's been of the Drudge Report that seriously has turned against the Republicans, but sees the DSA as a problem.

Laugh as the Dem old guard has to fight, but do you want the DSA platform?

There are Dems reading the platform and see it for what it is.

Destroying the old guard for that platform isn't a socialist's dream.

MAGA voters and DSA voters will tell you third party votes are wasted.

Not if a third party wins.

If people are concerned about the future if the US, a third party against these two ideologies should win.

We need to abolish the single lever from the ballot and add a blank line for every position on a ballot.

Don't worry.

The DSA will abolish the prisons, borders, law and order.

The Senate will be gone.

Everything will be free. Nobody has to work. It'll be taken from the haves.

The House will rule. The SCOTUS will be under the House. Literally.

Every DSA candidate winning a primary has 100% approval of the Dem Party.

Screw the National Debt. The DSA will screw the Nation.

Do you really believe the two parties would ever vote to remove their controls of elections? Both parties wrote and approved the laws that keep them in charge.

If you don't like the laws, you must vote third party to change them.

A Yahu double should arrive in NYC just to test their resolve.

Need to bust up the medical organizations.

You can't get a second opinion if the doctors all work for the same entity as well as the pharmacies.

Great, don't support either. Primary them out. If they win the primary, what can anyone do? The two parties prevent third parties and blank lines for write ins. These two crazy groups must be primaried out.

Socialism isn't the problem. Democracy isn't the problem.

It's the Democrat Socialists of America's platform that is the problem.

You want Socialism? Then describe it.

But the DSA platform is complete overhaul of the US Govt. No longer three branches of government. Total chaos is their platform.

Why have laws if they intend to close prisons. Why have borders if there are no border laws to enforce. Everything will be free because everything is a right to have.

That's not Socialism. That's not what the 'Socialist' countries of Europe reflect.

No Senate. The subordination of the Executive and Judicial to the House. This is not Socialism.

Anything but a Republican. Do you support the DSA platform or not? A DSA candidate isn't a Socialist candidate

With half the neighborhood black and half white, your friends were both. I have no ties to the US until at least 1890, I don't have any familial issues of US slavery or US racism.

Since I'm a descendant of Euro-Asian slavery, I'd be demanding reparations from countries that no longer exist.

Do all Americans think their neighbors have been in the US with slaves and have racism? Do you really have no sense?

Now a study is needed of the best and worst public school students' parents.

When it comes to best schools/worst schools, it reminds me of the yearbooks from 1st to 12th.

Can anyone explain why grades 1 through 4 the group pictures show everyone smiling and side by side regardless of race.

Yet, at 5 through 12, the kids self segregate.

The school doesn't segregate. The teachers didn't. The cafeteria staff didn't.

The kids did.

What's worse? The classes were broken into academic level. So, the smart kids were is class A, medium kids in B. Lowest in C.

Watch the yearbook pictures of the movement of a few students as they go up and down. Some of this movement had nothing to do with the education, but the look of student being educated.

DBT2, since you mentioned.

Nazi were doing human testing since the 1940.

Most of their scientists became Americans.

The US wanted the Japanese research done, too, that was human testing. A lot of Japanese escaped the Tribunals.

The Supreme Court decision is 9-0.

Nobody doubted it for a second.

But,if the Court leans one way, it must be political. Especially if all the Justices are appointed by one side creating a majority.

How much did the decisions, after 9 Justices were appointed by one President, affect the country.

Of course the SCOTUS is political. They can't get appointed without having a bias.
