WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - Several top White House aides say they are confident protests across U.S. college campuses against Israel's offensive in Gaza will not translate into significantly fewer votes for Joe Biden in November's election, despite polls showing many Democrats are deeply unhappy about the president's policy...
I'd hope that most Muslims are intelligent enough to put their emotions aside & vote for the candidate that hasn't committed to stripping birthright citizenship & mass exile of Muslims post-election.
Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people....
In Detroit a leader of the Pro-Palestinian protesters said "This community will be the community who unseats Joe Biden. … A president who has fostered an atmosphere of hate against our community."
This person will be at the front of the line to have their citizenship stripped & exiled if Trump is elected.
If you don't think Trump will do it & SCotUS will allow it, you're a dangerous moron.
“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”
If those Haley primary voters are GOP adherents that had their lives / farms / families / health destroyed by Trump's stupid & evil policies, they likely won't be back to vote for Trump.
And the Orange Moron saying that out loud will make absolutely sure of it. It's literally human nature.
I've been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama's first term in 2008 more wasn't accomplished. Shouldn't that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside...
Lies are easy to get away with if they are repeated often enough and given voice by many different people. Repeat a lie often enough and that lie often becomes conventional wisdom. Repeating a lie doesn't change the lie into the truth, it changes the people hearing the repeated lie. They begin to accept the lie as truth. One huge example: 'Iraq has WMD.'
...
The truth....then....is this: Democrats had "total control" of the House of Representatives from 2009-2011, 2 full years. Democrats, and therefore, Obama, had "total control" of the Senate from September 24, 2009 until February 4, 2010. A grand total of 4 months.
Did President Obama have "total control" of Congress? Yes, for 4 entire months. And it was during that very small time window that Obamacare was passed in the Senate with 60 all-Democratic votes.
Did President Obama have "total control' of Congress during his first two years as president? Absolutely not and any assertions to the contrary.....as you can plainly see in the above chronology....is a lie.
"Why is the political party that actively wants to destroy our institutions ok with destroying our institutions?"
That's your question, reframed.
If you want a real answer, it's because Roe v. Wade "was" settled law & the Democrats are a "big tent" party with a lot of disparate views that always don't mesh together. They should be 3 parties working as a collation, but our stupid FPtP election system won't allow that.
Following that, note which party has made RCV illegal in 5 states.
Undocumented labor makes the food we have as cheap as it is (along with government subsidies). If that labor pool evaporated we’d see more widespread issues with food rotting before being picked and food not getting processed.
The GOP has literally already done this with those exact effects in Florida, Alabama & Georgia. The farmers I know collectively lost millions. Other farmers had to sell out to BigAg, which was just a bonus knock on effect for these ghouls. I'd bet dollars to donuts that the lion's share of these double digit Haley / GOP protest voters in Red states are in the Ag sector, or some other industry directly damaged by Trump's misrule.
But that is kinda the point of fascism. As long as they have power they do not care about people.
Yes, let's blame the people trying to improve the lives of immigrants in the USA instead of the #fascists that are loudly saying they will use DREAM as a weapon.
Because that makes perfect sense (if you want Trump re-elected).

Democrats have been beating polls, nationwide, by 9+ points since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
The GOP has lost 17 of their last 20 special elections, even in so called "Red" states.
This has been going on long enough that either pollsters aren't capable of adjusting their polling methods for the new reality or they are targeting polls on purpose to maintain a "horse race".
A special election (granted it was only 12% of the total population of the district that voted, but that number includes children & non-voters) in deep red Alabama going to a Democrat woman that specifically ran on abortion access may not be a "bellweather", but it's absolutely an alarm for the #fascist#GOP.
But yes, the beating polls by 9+ points at the ballot box is the important part.
