If only someone could break through to Trump and explain to him how good the ratings would be were such a rally televised, it just might work.

Gah, I knew it! Curse you deep state!!

Literally 0% chance to change for good if all that happens is bearing witness to corruption and wrongdoing.

This is doing something. It’s hitting on the root of so many problems which have arisen in the US since the corporate takeover of government began in 1978 in partnership with the Supreme Court. I applaud AOC for this!

bit of an overgeneralization there mate

Reminds me of this classic gem:

Hey now, the Dems tried to ban bump stocks, but those mean old republicans just wouldn’t let them. Nothing else they could possibly do sweetie.

Why is nobody finding the “Autist Autocracy” interesting as well?!

I strongly suspect his dementia-riddled brain will be too far gone for another run in 4 years. Hope so anyway.

Yeah, he was literally bragging about it on the quarterly earnings calls as it was happening. They’ve only paused the price gouging now that it’s a hot topic, don’t think for a minute prices will go back down or that this won’t resume in a year or so when there’s some other distraction available.

We need regulations to stop this predatory behavior, and we desperately need to break up monopolies like Kroger, if this problem is to be mitigated.

And so, the brown shirts are making them think twice. What a sad day for America as domestic terrorism wins.

Paul Pelosi or Gretchen Whitmer likely have something to say on the matter as well.

Should have done it during Obama’s first term, when we had the votes. But it was deemed “not a priority” after we voted them into a supermajority.

So yeah, I think your skepticism of Schumer’s intent here is warranted.

JFC, win_blows_.

Perhaps someone with so little self control of their utterances should not in fact get to be elected to the highest office in the land. Just a thought.

I really liked her framing in this part of the speech. Another speaker said it similarly earlier in the week.

The Republicans fight for freedom of corporations to be deregulated and pollute our environment with reckless abandon.

The Democrats are fighting for freedom of people to live and be safe in their home environment. Safe to drink water, safe to breathe the air.

Highlighting the differences in how each party conceives of the notion of freedom could be a huge deciding factor in this election, and for that matter I think it’s critical for Dems to reclaim usage of the word from the republicans who have disfigured its meaning almost beyond recognition.

I’ll choose to bend over backwards here in order to assume positive intent - Harris, as VP, has almost no power in the situation currently. Biden is literally one of, if not the most, Zionist presidents in the history of the US. Biden will never stop short of giving Israel everything and more, even as Netenyahu repeatedly embarrasses him and shows himself to be a fascist head of a terror state who considers Israel beyond reproach and above international law.

Once Kamala assumes the presidency, she will be able to act on her own authority. Let’s hope that moment brings a marked turn in American support of the unfolding genocide in Gaza. And if not, we can apply pressure on the Harris admin until she changes her tune. That wouldn’t be possible at all with Trump or Biden, so at least with Harris we have some glimmer of hope for the Palestinian people.

Same, Repugs forced to defend in TX is a victory in and of itself.

Relax bidey-bro, this thread is about data privacy laws, not general stuff. The only relevant one I’m aware of is DMCA, which was in fact signed into law by Bill Clinton.
