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! 🫡

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.
