probably because she make a better profit from this war rather than being elected ?

I don't know if it's that direct. But you point to the central problem with the Democrats. They represent their rich donors first and foremost. It's not that they don't want to win. They're just ok with losing because their rich donors will get tax cuts under Republican rule.

I forgot how well Bernie Sanders was polling in the summer of 2016. He was running 12 points ahead of Trump nationally. Hillary was only ever 2 points ahead. You can say "polls are always wrong", but the national polls were correct. Hillary ended up winning the popular vote by 2 points.

In 2016, Bernie would've had a Reagan '84 landslide. Voters in 2016 were always going to reject the "establishment". Either Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders were going to win and transform American politics for the next 50 years. And the Democrats decided it should be Donald Trump.

Johnson backs conditions on California fire aid​

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5083022-mike-johnson-california-fires-conditions-aid/

Mike Johnson is a dumb hillbilly degenerate from Louisiana who gets into jerk off contests with his teenage son (whose name is jack, lol). California is the most advanced economy in this shithole country. Californians pay way more into the Federal coffers than they get back. So you don't get to decide to cut them off from aid over bullshit.

And I do mean bullshit. There are real reasons to hate the LA or Sacramento governments. But not for any of the reasons these dipshit Republicans are talking about. One of the last good comedians, Billy Burr, had something to say about this:

I love how every American Conservative, some of the dumbest people in the history of our species, all became wildfire experts over the last week.

Burr is also a Luigi fan.

If Bill Burr wants a second career, he already has the hairstyle. Just needs to grow out the beard a little.

Bill... I am standing back and standing by, sir! 🫡

Very funny that the American Capitalist Party tried to do a mafia style shakedown on TikTok's parent company, Bytedance, and the CCP called their bluff.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone can look at the last 20 years and come to any other conclusion that China will win. If you have young kids. They should be taking Mandarin lessons. So they'll be able to talk to their bosses.

Supreme Court gives green light to law that could ban TikTok within days

TikTok mounted a free speech challenge to a bipartisan law that would ban the app on national security grounds if its Chinese owner does not sell it.

Will Donald Trump save TikTok from Joe Biden? He’s going to try

Analysis: Trump sees halting the bipartisan TikTok ban as an easy way to show he’s delivering results. He’s probably right, writes John Bowden

Also amazing that the Dummycrats are handing another easy victory to Trump. Especially given that the TikTok ban was originally Trump's idea.

Official Trump Coin: How Did We Get Here?

"Trump Coin" has taken the cryptocurrency world by storm, potentially positioning itself to challenge Dogecoin's supremacy in the meme coin ecosystem.

www.forbes.com

On the eve of his inauguration, the President of these United States is doing a crypto scam rug pull on his own followers . It's too fucking perfect. I hate to break it to Liberals, but Donald Trump is the perfect representative of this country. We haven't had a President more accurately represent what America is all about since the slave owners.

Key Democrats vote for increasing mandatory detention of immigrants

Fearing reelection, swing state senators are backing the Laken Riley Act.

www.motherjones.com

This bill is disgusting. It allows permanent imprisonment of any undocumented person (including Dreamers) if they're merely ACCUSED of a crime. And the Democrats who didn't vote for it abstained, not because it's wildly unconstitutional. But because it will be too expensive to enforce.

$28 billion per year to do this Nazi shit. 29 Americans die per year at the hands of ILLEGALS. And that includes unintentional vehicular manslaughter. Nearly a BILLION per life "saved" (and it won't even do that).

70,000 Americans die every year because they don't have health insurance. Even more because they're underinsured. If Democrats didn't suck at doing politics, they'd name a Medicare for All bill after some young father who got murdered by the health insurance companies and dare Republicans to vote against it.

This is what 175 million Americans saw this morning when they tried to access the app they're hopelessly addicted to.

7 million Americans depend on TikTok for their livelihoods. It looks like Joe Biden and the Democrats laid off 7 million Americans and Donald Trump is gonna save them.

Trump says he'll issue an executive order Monday delaying U.S. TikTok ban

Trump also laid out on Truth Social what he thinks a “qualified divestiture” of TikTok by ByteDance could look like.

Elon Musk dickriders: "No!!!! He wasn't hitting the Sieg Heil!! He was telling the audience he loves them!!!!"

Neo-Nazis Love the Nazi-Like Salutes Elon Musk Made at Trump’s Inauguration

The far right is celebrating what it views as a clear signal from the X owner and Donald Trump associate, who made the gestures onstage Monday.

www.wired.com

If you told me this morning that the most absurd thing to come out of Inauguration Day will be from the ADL, I would not have believed you.

The Anti Defamation League Apartheid Defense League will call blue haired 19 year old baristas "Nazis" for saying "Free Palestine". They'll call Jewish college students at anti-war protests Nazis. But the richest and most powerful man on Earth doing "Heil Hitler" at the official Presidential Inauguration event? "LOL, not a Nazi!"

The ADL has lost their last shred of credibility. Which is a real shame given that our two Presidents are now the "Fine people on both sides" guy and a literal Neo-Nazi

You don't really think that Musk favors Nazis. I can understand why some folks don't care for Musk, but portraying him as a Nazi supporter is ridiculous.

 

[florduh]

but portraying him as a Nazi supporter is ridiculous.

If you think it's ridiculous, you don't know what Naziism is. He called "The Jews" importing inferior brown people to destroy the character of our beautiful white nation... "the truth". That's Nazi ideology. Literal Adolf Hitler shit. Do you honestly not understand that?

Elon Musk agrees with tweet accusing Jewish people of ‘hatred against whites’

He also supports the Neo-Nazi Party in....Germany.

Anyway, we can go ahead and agree to disagree about objective facts. We live in a post-truth world. But Bazinga....go ahead and do me a solid. Next time you're at a crowded grocery store, please "show your love" to everyone by doing this:

Do we have a deal, Bazinga?

Edit: I don't really blame Bazinga for saying this. The entire media has been telling everyone to ignore their lying eyes.

CBS 58 weather reporter Sam Kuffel is out after criticizing Elon Musk arm gesture

Meteorologist Sam Kuffel criticized Elon Musk on social media for his straight-arm gesture some likened to a Nazi salute at the Trump inauguration.

This meteorologist is apparently very popular. She was fired for criticizing a Far Right military contractor and government official for doing a Nazi salute in front of the US Presidential seal.
