When I was young I thought that fiscal conservatism is a great thing. Stay within your means, only spend what you earn etc. it was how I had been raised.
What took me awhile to understand is that the political label of âfiscalConservatismâ IS NOT about staying with oneâs means. If it was there wouldnât be billionaire tax cuts raising the deficit so much.
It is literally money for me but not for thee. Money for the plutocrats but no one else.
Political âfiscal conservatismâ can be easily depicted by Marie Antoinette/ Franceâs elite before the revolution. Eh let them eat cake. They, the âfiscal conservativesâ donât care if you work 80 hours a week and still canât afford food. But YOU must live within your measly means, they can spend lavishly on whatever they want. So long as the spending goes to the pocket of another plutocrat. Hard working you can go screw yourself & pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Maybe it is time, no well past time, for the Republicans to try telling the truth and very public ally... x.com/JDVance/status/1833505359513661762Full text: In the last several weeks, my office has received many inquiries from actual residents of Springfield who've said their neighbors' pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants. It's possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false. Do you know what's confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here. That local health services have been overwhelmed. That communicable diseases--like TB and HIV--have been on the rise. That local schools have struggled to keep up with newcomers who don't know English. That rents have risen so fast that many Springfield families can't afford to put a roof over their head. Here is Kamala Harris bragging about giving amnesty to thousands of Haitian migrants. x.com/i/status/1833147988765478944x.com/Surabees/status/1833147988765478944If you're a reporter, or an activist, who didn't give a shit about these suffering Americans until yesterday, I have some advice: Spare your outrage for your fellow citizens suffering under Kamala Harris's policies. Be outraged at yourself for letting this happen. Last edited 9:58 AM · Sep 10, 2024 · 15.7M Views |

The courts work so very slowly.... A long-dormant lawsuit seeking to limit Donald Trump's efforts to overturn a potential election loss has finally begun to show signs of life again. The lawsuit was originally filed in the days following the 2020 election and has moved slowly through the federal courts in Washington, D.C., while an appeals court considered his claims of presidential immunity from civil lawsuits, but the plaintiffs recently asked to drop one of their demands in hopes of getting the case moving, reported CNN. "The case could have enormous implications for this election and future ones," CNN reported. "The voters are asking a federal judge to put Trump, his campaign and the Republican National Committee under court supervision that would require them to seek pre-approval before 'engaging in any activities related to recounts, certifications, or similar post-election activities,' and to bar the defendants from intimidating voters, poll workers and other election officials." *** The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated both the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law that allows for civil action against anyone who conspires to prevent participation in U.S. elections, but Trump and the RNC have asked for the case to be dismissed because, they argue, the conduct alleged amounts to protected political speech. www.rawstory.com/trump-election-lawsuit-michigan/ |

The voice of privilege, who has NO clue about others' lives.. All contributing factors: poverty, malnutrition, lack of education and medical care! I guess he has missed the conditions in some of the red states/areas with the above listed situations right here in the USA. |

The child that is being spoken of being murdered, is he referring to Aiden Clark? Because his parents have been doing several pressers and saying he was not murdered. That is was an accident. They have asked the MAGA side to stop politicizing his death for their purposes. They just can't stop themselves. Despicable.

Just caught a glimpse of Trumpâs news conference in So. Cal. He mentioned that if he is president, California will have as much water as they need. So now he can control the weather? And he said if Newsom doesnât do something (couldnât make out what he said) he will not provide financial assistance to California to put out their fires. What a nice guy. So he said California has to vote for him to survive.

Another thing from TFG CA news conference... More proof he has cognitive issues.. This particular issue was pointed out previously about the hesitation and a total change of subject, covering up... Former President Donald Trump on Friday took a firm stance against his political foe â whom he referred to as Comrade Howard. *** "Not only is Comrade Howard â I mean," Trump said, before continuing without correction, "You take a look at this."The next time he tried to use his nickname for the vice president, he took a pause. "Not only is Comrade Kamala allowing illegal aliens to stampede across her border, but then it was announced about a year ago that they're actually flying them in â nobody knew that â they were secretly flying in hundreds of thousands of people, some of the worst murderers and terrorists you've ever seen," Trump said. This fumble arrived days after Trump's "trainwreck" presidential debate against Harris raised further concerns among experts that the former president is experiencing cognitive decline. www.rawstory.com/trump-press-conference-california/ |

Good grief. This is getting ridiculous. It reminds me of the beginning weeks of Covid when Trump kept calling it the China Flu, and people started attacking Chinese people. HOW and WHYYYYYY do people still support this madman??? |

My oh my.... FOX has changed rankings of two more states.. Fox Newsâs âPower Rankingsâ now show the swing states of North Carolina and Georgia as âtoss-upâ states as of Thursday. Fox anchor Bill Hemmer said Thursday that with North Carolina and Georgia, there are now six âtoss-upâ states up for grabs.âWe believe right now that North Carolina and Georgia have had a shift. Theyâve had some movement. So I want to direct your attention down to the southeastern corner of the country. Georgia and North Carolina are considered toss ups,â Hemmer said Thursday on Fox News. âSo we will now put them in the same category that we had four other states for some time. Nevada and Arizona, no change. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, no change,â he said. He noted that the swing state of Michigan is still considered to be leaning Democrat. He also emphasized that while Pennsylvania carries a significant amount of electoral votes, states like Georgia and North Carolina should not be discounted. âThese are the area that we are going to watch, 78 electoral votes among six different states and how they break. I would say Pennsylvania, 19 electoral votes is the biggest batch in this list here,â he said. âBut donât overlook Georgia, 16 electoral votes. North Carolina, 16 electoral votes, taken together at 32 right? Okay, so they matter. They matter in a significant way,â he added. Hemmer said that Foxâs current forecast shows Harris in the lead with 241 electoral votes compared to Trumpâs 219 votes. A handful of post-debate polls found Harris to be the winner of Tuesdayâs showdown. Many national polls have found her closing the gap with Trump as the two barrel toward Novemberâs election. www.nj.com/politics/2024/09/fox-news-changes-trump-harris-prediction-in-2-critical-states.html |

Can I ask a simple question even though as a Canadian this is none of my business? Does anyone think that DJT or his team planned to throw out those crazy statements at the debate to keep HIM in the news cycle instead of HER? I remember saying in 2016 the news networks needed to ignore him more, refuse to give him the bandwidth.

I remember saying in 2016 the news networks needed to ignore him more, refuse to give him the bandwidth. #1 - It's absolutely your business. #2 - Nothing is below them. Based on what "his team" was leaking to the press prior to the debate, they had coached him to not get baited. He's just too fucking proud to let it go. You mention his Rally size and he's gonna jump on that. The media is going to continue to play this the same way they have been when it was Biden, set high expectations and impossible obstacles for her to reach and as long as he slithers under, he's golden. They just want their clicks. I wish that man and his ilk would just disappear. |

Your insight is important in the success of ALL of us. He, of course, makes outlandish statements frequently. He thinks any press talking about him is good. In some ways I think he believes what he says because he is either too stupid or is being deliberately cruel. He fits both Catagories.. maybe his goal is both. *** Up thread I posted a tweet that was NOT good bad news... About half way up this page... |

I agree anything is possible. But now in addition to claims that Harris was given the question before the debate now they are saying her earrings were giving her information they were ear buds and now today that the lights were set up to distract him and make him shift his eyes back and forth and raise his heart rate. đ€Šââïž. Some say his eyes were dilated and he was shifting and couldnât look at her because of the lights.
I know there was a coin toss to determine who talks last and the other gets to choose which podium they will get. TFG won and he chose to have the last word and she chose to be in the right. When was the coin toss? They also said his mic was turned up and that the camera was closer on her when they did the split screen. I just deleted so I can rewatch.
ETA so they did the coin toss on Sept 3 so they knew ahead of time which podium was whose. No I donât think they did anything underhanded. It looked like he was watching the clock and just didnât want to look at her just like he tried to avoid the handshake. One crazy even suggested that there was something to that like she could have drugged him đ I mean really. đ€Ł he just looked like someone that knew he was screwing up snd not prepared. He looked like someone that was lying with the shifty eyes.

Open mouth insert foot.... Nicky Jam endorsed TFG. "Do you know Nicky? Sheâs hot. Whereâs Nicky?â Trump said from the stage while looking off to the side for the âXâ singer. A few moments later, the former president spotted the Latin star and quickly realized his mistake. âOh, look, Iâm glad he came up,â Trump said as he patted the musicianâs shoulderNicky, wearing a black sweatshirt and the Trump campaignâs signature red âMake America Great Againâ baseball cap, then took the stage to deliver a brief statement. www.billboard.com/music/music-news/nicky-jam-endorses-donald-trump-president-las-vegas-rally-speech-1235775600/ |

It has to do with the protection of the smelt, a fish. Supposedly itâs important to the ecosystem and why they are protected. ETA or maybe itâs similar to the protection of the mountain lion in that they over eat deer and deer are responsible for clearing the forest floor. So without the deer to clear the forest floor we have bigger fires. Good intentions gone awry. This isnât the only reason but thought to be adding to them. |
