Np- Citizens United is in reference to the Supreme Court ruling that injected unlimited dark money into our politics. And 10 years ago the people posting on this board would have known that. |
Ding, ding, ding... we have a winning poster who gets it! These two awful entities are PRIVATE entities that can and should be replaced when they become dysfunctional. Relative to their intended purpose, these two political parties have become completely dysfunctional. The only people who would disagree are low IQ Trumpers, people who are employed by and/or profit off of the current two parties, and mega-donors who currently have politicians of the two parties eating from their hands. |
Musk helped fund Trump's con game. He absolutely knows how to play that game. Maybe he can't be manipulative as Trump, but I'm sure he can spoil whatever he wants to spoil with his wealth. |
Musk was never MAGA, he was just doing damage control on the Democrat globalist Titanic. |
I agree, but, I hate to tell you, that is a pipe dream. You put new blood in the current system, they'll end up like the rest. Anyone who wants to be a politician is usually not the best person. Rare exceptions, but it's hard for good people to do good. It's the old adage that anyone who seeks power is probably going to be shitty at wielding it and the best leaders are the ones who don't choose it, it is thrust upon them by circumstances. They rise to the occasion. America had a good run where, even though money always runs things, we had some progress toward a more perfect union. Now Trump and Co are tearing all the good things down within months and the HORRID GOP congresspeople are abetting him out of either being horrible themselves or being cowards. And the Dems are powerless. It is truly nauseating. |
No. Musk may not have been truly MAGA, but he used the opportunity to mine government data and then got out. Who knows how he will use it. It's truly corrupt and frightening. Must only cares about Musk and enjoys hurting regular people (see the demonization and cruelty toward federal workers). |
Then maybe we need to have obligatory government service ala jury duty but for our political leaders! Let’s find some good people to “rise to the occasion” by talking them in the shoulder rather than waiting for the scammers to volunteer their own services? |
not true- Clinton and Obama were centrists. Also... you are buying the twisting of the party that Fox news sells. Look at the evidence vs what Fox news says. |
Exactly. The GOP is so far right. The moderates have been or are being driven out. The Dems actually span centrist to left. Huge range. Fox amplifies the margins as though they are the majority and they are not. It's all propaganda. |
Fox News is the nursing home media provider. It's sick and shriveling and the end will come. |
By that measure, MSNBC and CNN are DOA today. |
Definitely not. You need perspective on where the dems have been, where they are today and where they are going. They certainly ARE NOT centrist. Have you been asleep for the last several years? I don't know how you can say that with a straight face. They are as radical today as they come. Just listen to one of your own. |
You can have him back now. |
I don’t know how this will shake out but it will be entertaining. |
Don't know but the 4 :30 p.m. dinner crowd likes to rot their brains in front of Fox News based on my recent travels through the rehab., assisted living, nursing home circuit. |
