Everything old is new again.

The old southern whites always could embrace the black entertainer who was clearly not very intelligent and not a threat to any of their positions and loved to prop them up. I think it gives them a sense of satisfaction and superiority to push forward, as the best example of what they think is a good black person, one who entertains them and is not an intellectual threat. The Minstrel type.

I saw a commercial from the opposition against her how she rents a house from a lobbyist and her husband gets big contracts. Now it's the opposition and honesty is not required in political ads

Her response clearly shows how these ads are so misleading

Missed this sorry.


No, I am not telling you that as i do not specifically watch any news in a way that i can compare coverage in that way.

But why does that matter to your statement that there is a 'lack of coverage about the border' ? Are you saying that 'lack' is applicable only as a comparison to Trump similar coverage?


What I do know, is I see a ton of stuff I watch and click on news wise, that is border issue related and it is consistently being featured on NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc. No shortage of 'border' stuff on those platforms if that is what you want to watch.

It is a constant right wing talking point to pretend something does not exist (coverage) on the centre/left media and that is simply not true. it is far more true on the right/far right where you would have to really search hard, many times to find certain info being reported, either negative to Trump or the GOP in general or positive about Dems.

I had CNN on this morning and they had a segment called 'Crisis at the border' on.

I don't know if the Dem party threw money at Finchem's primary to help him win but I think that strategy by the Dem's is about to prove one of the worst and most dangerous and empowering of what is to follow of all time.

The Dem's wanted Trump to win his 2015 Primaries as they thought Hillary had the best chance against him. That Trump was so laughably abhorrent voters would reject him and vote in Hillary as the lesser of two evils. that is why the Dems made almost no effort to force any type of vote on abortion or Voting rights, as they thought keeping them all as election issues was their path to victory.

Having learned nothing from failure, they supported countless GOp candidates like Finchem thinking it gave them the best chance to keep power as they would prefer the risk of putting in deplorables to losing to more moderate and law abiding republicans.


The 2024 elections are lining up to be ones the dems simply cannot win, if the GOP wins the House and their efforts in their States continues. It will not be about the count or who votes as they are set on making that irrelevant. These Trumpers will simply decide what counts and what does not.


And a Trump win, in this manner, should it play out that way, will be met with some of the biggest unrest the country has seen and Trump will eagerly slam the police, national guard and military right in to them. Yup military too as ihs first order of business will be to purge all those who would object. At least if he follows the Bannon blueprint this time and commits and does not waver, as Bannon has been calling for. to 'finish it' as Bannon proclaims loudly.

Very dangerous times, thx in large part to a Dem gamble because they saw keeping power as the most important thing.

How many of these governor races did they see as locks and now neck and neck . Oregon and NY both close

Things will be fine as long as Trump and Biden do not run . If Trump wins its 2028 that scares the heck out of me or loses 2024

oregon is a one off because of phil knight propping up a sham candidate. and i doubt NY ends close..

Walker is correct.

No he is not.

Not unless you say "business interests beyond all else matter on a resume when trying to get elected office'.

And even then there are big issues around Walker's business claims as he may actually lie more than Trump about his business acumen, which I would have thought an impossible bar to surmount as it appears from available data that Trump has lost more than other business man in American history.


.

Herschel Walker Appears to Have Been Lying About His Business Record, Too
The Georgia Senate candidate who spread false claims about his academic achievements has been doing the same about his business holdings,

You only seem to focus on the shortcomings of GOP candidates. And there are many. Is there a reason you do not discuss the short comings of his challenger or other suspect Democratic candidates?.

feel free to bring up the shortcomings of rev. warnock in comparison with walker.

tbf, i think walker voters are probably the truest to themselves republicans. he has literally zero qualities that are superior to his opponent. but he may very well win anyway.

Because despite all the right wing talking points throwing out "Whatbouts' there is no approximation on the left for what the GOP is doing in this post Trump era as a way to deliberately end democracy in the US and make it such that the GOP CANNOT lose elections regardless of vote count.


Give me example of something on the Dem side you think needs to be more discussed than this?

This could go in the Russia/Ukraine thread but is every bit a Midterms strategy point she is pushing.


Marjorie Taylor Greene: ‘Under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine’

Could a GOP house actually stop the Biden gov't from supporting Ukraine?

I know in controlling the purse strings they could attempt to choke it out thru future cash, but if Biden just prioritized a part of the existing Military budget to pay for it, could the House, stop it?

Because they are ducking deranged loons.

As much as I agree with you that in the Trump era he is looking for a way to discredit elections and possibly as he says himself steal an election . He has done that by endorsing candidates that will say the election was stolen.

So here is my question. If this is such a threat than why would they donate to these individuals to make sure they get elected in primaries? If any of these folks do get elected are they not themselves responsible for what occurs? I get they think they cant lose but

My next question as it looks as if Trump will run in 2024

Yet your best candidates on the verge of the country losing its democracy is

Joe Biden (he could win)
Kamela Harris (not a chance)
Pete (nope not with blacks and latinos)
Gavin (maybe )

Should not the party, Oprah , Lebron , Taylor Swift convince Michelle for the sake of the country?

Because, as deplorable as the dems are,
the magas make them look like angels.
And if the magas win, democracy is over.

They could pass laws to outlaw or restrict funding for Ukraine. They did similar things towards the end of the Vietnam war for South Vietnamese support and also for the Contras in Nicaragua (I know, lol.....). Would have to be able to override a veto though.

Both parties love perpetual war. 0% chance that the GOP ends support for Ukraine. However, the "threat" of denying support for Ukraine can be an effective bargaining chip.

I think democracy has been over for some time. No matter which party "wins", the debt will increase, spending will continue to go "up, up and away in a beautiful balloon", and perpetual war will continue to be just that.

Imagine if it all comes down to Georgia and there is a runoff we may see the most money spent by two parties.

Probably not going to happen but yikes
