A large portion still believe in the Trickle Down Fairy. That and they have to bend over for the billionaire donors who demand tax cuts in return. That and the democrats are giving all their money away to those who "don't earn it" or folks who flip hamburgers for a living, while they continue to receive their farm subsidies and disability benefits.

Damn

The two losses came to a woman, one was a woman of color. That tells you a lot about the American electorate.

Let he who is without sin.....

And it won’t be the first time he stiffed a buyer

Who managed the WH after 1/20, Trump or the unelected guy who falsified his papers to get into the country? Does Trump have buyer’s remorse yet. Once again bad businesses deal, much like what the natives sold Manhattan Island for

Just passing this along 248 years ago today Thomas Paine published these words... A thoughtful piece from Heather Cox Richardson https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-19-2024 It ends..

As we were saying https://bsky.app/profile/samsteindc.bsky.social/post/3ldql5fzu422d JD Vance last night: It's the Dems want a shut down Trump this morning: We should have a shutdown now on Biden's watch

All very true. I was being a bit sarcastic (as usual) but we all know what the spin will be. We’ve been there before. The Red Hats expect the Democrats to be the adults in the room

But, Trump's e-mails..... https://politicalwire.com/2024/12/19/but-his-emails/

There were rumors that was the job he wanted last season.

They'll try. Republicans are never, ever, at fault. But there were 38 (?) members of the Republican Party voting no. That was more than enough to kill it

Pres Select Musk and his sidekick Trump vetoing help for kids with cancer...

That was a Matty Moroun faction of Mich Repugs. Rick Snyder signed the formal agreement.

Let's not forget who is paying for the construction of the Gordy Howe International Bridge. And that the Trump Administration did not negotiate the deal

We attended a performance the other night, a one man show entitled Conflict Between Church and State: An Audience with Henry VII. A bit weird for Jamestown Settlement since the date Henry VIII was portraying was about 50 b years before Jamestown was settled Anyway, the premise was the creation of the Church of England because of the conflict with the Pope over divorce laws (among other things). It all sounded very Trumpish, right down to justifying the closing and confiscation of the Monasteries and land owned by the Vatican that was redistributed to the Lords and rulers of England. Henry called giving it to the people, and since the monarch and the lords were the rich, they knew better how to manage it than the "Commons" As we were leaving one of the patrons commented, "It wasn't the last time a working person got hoodwinked by a crooked politician".
