Between two old men, President Biden is just easier to understand.
Thanks to you, I know President Biden will win in November. Americans, even Republicans will go to the polls on election day and vote for President Biden. Republicans will still vote republican, but when it comes to the President, they will just not vote for trump. It will be there way of taking back the real conservative wing of the party.
No, just showing you the dem mistakes and why 1/2 the country is willing to vote against the current dem party....
Agree. In general you are right.
I'm not surprised. I'll bet he won't do that again.
Nancy may have done some good
List it! Name the things you think Nancy and the dems have done well.
B402, You in fact are sowing support for Trump. Where are your posts in support of congressional Democrats who actively work to support some of the causes you profess to support. Like congress people not able to trade shares. AOC put a bill to that i believe. Where is your support of AOC for her work on that and other issues you say you feel passionately about. They are not any? Oh! Why? Because you are a fucking hypocritical poseur.
I ask you, in the absence of one single post in support of AOC and/or in support of the other congressional Dems to the left of Pelosi, what other conclusion about you do you suggest i and others could draw.
"You reap what you sew"
Anytime a politician, no matter what the party, starts mucking about with citizens rights or rights to know, it is never a good thing and never for the citizen.
had you listened over the past years instead of pointing you noses up in the air, the US wouldn't have to worry about much, especially a trump...
No, we have to worry about ALL of them! Every last MAGAt in public office are all after the same thing. To remake America into a theocracy.

But if you had one ounce of self-awareness, you could have looked it up yourself to verify if the story was true or not. Of course it's true, because Israel is run by an insane madman who will never stop his inhumane bombardment of Gaza until every last Palestinian is dead. Does reporting from a Reuters journalist help make the slaughter any easier for you? Now you should publicly apologize on this board to Al Jazeera because they actually do some excellent reporting.

The U.S. military is encircling China with a chain of air bases and military ports. The latest link: a small airstrip on the tiny Pacific island of Saipan. The U.S. Air Force is planning to lease 33 acres of land on the island for the next 50 years to build a "divert airfield" on an old World War II airbase there. But the residents don’t want it .. http://www.saipantribune.com/newsstory.aspx?newsID=139419&cat=1 . And the Chinese are in no mood to be surrounded by Americans.
The Pentagon’s big, new strategy for the 21st century is something called Air-Sea Battle, a concept that’s nominally about combining air and naval forces to punch through the increasingly-formidable defenses of nations like China or Iran. It may sound like an amorphous strategy — and truth be told, a lot of Air-Sea Battle is still in the conceptual phase. But a very concrete part of this concept is being put into place in the Pacific. An important but oft-overlooked part of Air-Sea Battle calls for the military to operate from small, bare bones bases in the Pacific that its forces can disperse to in case their main bases are targeted by Chinese ballistic missiles.
Saipan would be used by American jets in case access to the U.S. superbase at Guam "or other Western Pacific airfields is limited or denied," reads this .. http://tinianchamber.com/resources/milconfor2012/presentations/CNMI_Divert_EIS_Exec_Sum_2012_09_10_CML.pdf .. Air Force document discussing the impact building such fields on Saipan and nearby Tinian would have on the environment there. (Residents of Saipan actually want the Air Force to use the historic airbases on Tinian that the U.S. Marines are already refurbishing .. http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/06/05/us_reopening_world_war_ii_bases_in_pacific?_gl=1*l70fks*_gcl_au*MjA0MjU0ODA2Ny4xNzExMjMyNzc1LjE4MDM1ODY0NDIuMTcxNjc1NTg5Mi4xNzE2NzU1ODkz*_ga*MTYzMTU5NjExNC4xNzExMjMyNzc2*_ga_T5CKP06L0Y*MTcxNjc1NTUzNi4xMS4xLjE3MTY3NTYxNjIuNjAuMC4w .. and flying F/A-18 Hornet fighters out of on an occasional basis.)
Specifically, the Air Force wants to expand the existing Saipan International Airport — built on the skeleton of a World War II base used by Japan, and later the United States — to accommodate cargo, fighter, and tanker aircraft along with up to 700 support personnel for "periodic divert landings, joint military exercises, and joint and combined humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts," according to Air Force documents on the project.
This means the service plans on building additional aircraft parking space, hangars, fuel storage tanks, and ammunition storage facilities, in addition to other improvements to the historic airfield. And it’s not the only facility getting an upgrade.

In addition to the site on Saipan, the Air Force plans to send aircraft on regular deployments to bases ranging from Australia to India as part of its bulked up force in the Pacific. These plans include regular deployments to Royal Australian Air Force bases at Darwin and Tindal, Changi East air base in Singapore, Korat air base in Thailand, Trivandrum in India, and possibly bases at Cubi Point and Puerto Princesa in the Philippines and airfields in Indonesia and Malaysia, a top U.S. Air Force general revealed last month.
The Saipan announcement comes as Chinese defense minister, Gen. Chang Wanquan, visited Washington to talk with U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. The specific topic of U.S. bases in the Pacific didn’t come up during a joint press conference held by the two officials on Aug. 20, but Wanquan said in response to a question about the U.S. military’s increased focus on the Pacific that "China is a peace-loving nation. And we hope that [America’s] strategy does not target a specific country in the region."
While the U.S. military insists that Air Sea Battle, and the military’s entire pivot to Asia, isn’t about China, these bases are indeed a check against any future Chinese expansion into the Pacific ocean, according to Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"China will be much more discreet throughout the entire region because U.S. power is already there, it’s visible; you’re not talking theory, you’re already there in practice," he said.
This will also reassure America’s allies in the region that the U.S. commitment to the Pacific is legit.
"As part of this rebalancing to the Pacific, you have to show people it’s real at a time when so much of U.S. power is increasingly questioned by our budget debates," Cordesman added.
Gen. Herbert "Hawk" Carlisle, commander of all U.S. Air Force assets in the Pacific, said that the United States is planning on operating tankers, fighters, and bombers out of a string of bases throughout the South Pacific and Southwest Asia. Like the sites at Tinian and Saipan, these facilities aren’t slated for permanent occupation by American aircraft — or at least that’s what American commanders say. Instead, these sites will see a steady stream of U.S. and northern Pacific based units visiting on a regular basis.
"We’re not gonna build any more bases in the Pacific" to support the U.S. Air Force’s increased presence there, said Carlisle. And technically, he’s telling the truth: no "new" bases, just expansions of existing airports and rebuilds of abandoned facilities like the sites at Saipan and Tinian. In fact, one of the fields being rebuilt by the Marines on Tinian is the place where the B-29 Enola Gay took off on its mission to drop the atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
The refurbished airfields also hearken back to the Cold War era, when American units were constantly rotated in and out of Europe to keep the Soviets at bay. To counter a new foe, the Air Force will continuously deploy units based in the United States and the northern Pacific to a string of airfields in Southeast Asia.
"Back in the late, great days of the Cold War, we had a thing called Checkered Flag: We rotated almost every CONUS [Continental United States] unit to Europe," said Carlisle. "Every two years, every unit would go and work out of a collateral operating base in Europe. We’re turning to that in the Pacific."
Not only does this dispersal allow the United States to hide its planes from destruction, it’s also "a way to build up relations with partners in that part of the word," explains Jan Van Tol of the Center for Strategic And Budgetary Assessments, a Washington think tank that helped the Pentagon develop of the Air-Sea Battle concept. "It has to do with establishing interoperability, relationships, and experience in the actual areas" where the United States may have to fight.
When asked what other old bases the United States might consider expanding to, Van Tol said "people in different discussions will mention bases they might like to see, like Wake Island or, I think, Palau." Both feature the remains of American airstrips from World War II. Wake, in fact, already has a very limited American military presence. Meanwhile, Palau has openly invited .. http://www.islandtimes.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4100:senate-bids-angaur-airfield-for-us-military-use&catid=4:politics . the U.S military to return and use one of its World War II airstrips there.
Cordesman says the U.S. is likely looking at a three-tiered system of such bases in the Pacific. Some will be strictly American, others like those in Australia to India will be operated by allies who host the Americans on deployments, and the third tier will probably be a more secret string of austere, emergency bases.
"You want forward bases in some areas to show that the United States can operate on its own, then you want that build up interoperability and cooperation with our allies, and then you want contingency capabilities — and with those you want to leave people guessing," said Cordesman.
It’s another sign that, when comes to the Pacific, what’s old is new again.

Gov. Murphy should veto public records bill, say mayors of N.J.’s two biggest cities

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, left, and Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop are two of the most prominent elected officials who oppose a bill that would revamp the state's public records law. (Baraka photo by New Jersey Governor’s Office/Fulop photo by Dave Kotinsky-Getty Images for Liberty Science Center)
The mayors of the state’s two largest cities are calling on Gov. Phil Murphy to veto a controversial bill sitting on his desk that would revamp the state’s public records law.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, who are both running for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2025, criticized the bill as a step backward for government transparency and accountability. The measure would make numerous changes to the Open Public Records Act that critics say are tantamount to gutting the law .. https://newjerseymonitor.com/2024/05/14/critics-slam-legislature-for-passing-public-records-overhaul/ .
“OPRA may need some change but this is not it. Let us find a balanced solution together that addresses the issues without compromising our democratic values. New Jersey deserves nothing less,” said Baraka in a statement released Wednesday.
Fulop, meanwhile, said in a statement that Murphy made a “bad deal with legislative leaders” who support the bill.
“There is no other rational reason on why it moved the way it did and why legislators would put themselves out there without a commitment that Murphy would sign it,” he said. “If Murphy signs this bill this will be his legacy as the governor that moved NJ backwards on both election finance and transparency in a moment when the Democratic Party is asking for stronger and more protective laws.”
Murphy spokesperson Tyler Jones declined to comment. Murphy, a Democrat, has declined to say whether he will sign or veto the bill.
Fulop said, based on Murphy’s actions, “it is reasonable to assume” the governor has committed to supporting the bill.
The mayors’ pleas for a veto echo the calls .. https://newjerseymonitor.com/2024/05/14/critics-slam-legislature-for-passing-public-records-overhaul/ .. from civil rights groups, press organizations, government watchdogs, and residents who say the Open Public Records Act is a useful tool to hold government officials accountable and have also asked Murphy to kill the bill.
The measure landed on Murphy’s desk on May 13 after lawmakers fast-tracked the legislation ..
[Senate lawmakers approved the bill in a 21-10 vote that, unusually, was not live-streamed and followed no debate. Three Republicans — Sens. Bob Singer, Owen Henry, and Carmen Amato — crossed party lines to back the bill. Three Democrats, Sens. Britnee Timberlake, John McKeon, and Andrew Zwicker, voted no. Nine senators did not vote.
P - The Assembly backed the bill in a 42-27 vote with one abstention. Ten members did not vote.
P - The measure saw spirited comments from lawmakers who vehemently opposed the bill and from sponsors who insisted that overhauling the state’s public records law is needed. Bill sponsor Assemblyman Joe Danielsen (D-Somerset) declined to talk to reporters before and after the vote and refused to take questions during the debate on the Assembly floor.
P - Assemblyman Brian Bergen (R-Morris) said the bill “isn’t just bad — it’s malicious and it’s intentional.”
[...] Legislators have offered shifting explanations for the bill. Initially, it was billed as a means of limiting commercial records requests that local and county officials say have strained clerks’ offices to the point of breaking. But the bill approved Monday does little to address such requests.
P - Danielsen on Monday said the main goal of the bill is to “increase access to government” while protecting people’s privacy. Senate President Nicholas Scutari (D-Union), meanwhile, said the measure is intended to cut costs.]
https://newjerseymonitor.com/2024/05/13/lawmakers-send-bill-overhauling-public-records-law-to-gov-murphys-desk/ ..
and advanced it out of both chambers with slim margins of support. If Murphy doesn’t sign or veto the bill by June 27, it will automatically become law the next time the Senate holds a quorum.
A provision of the bill that has especially angered critics, including Baraka, would end what’s called mandatory fee-shifting, a practice that requires governments that lose public records disputes in court to pay the requestors’ legal fees.
Baraka said this change would lower the compliance rate of records requests. But the mandatory fee-shifting change is “only the beginning of the anti-democratic measures in the bill,” he added.
Supporters of the bill say the law must be changed because clerks’ offices statewide are buried under mountains of records requests, many from commercial entities seeking property or court records. And ending mandatory fee-shifting would save taxpayers money, they argue.
Baraka said he understands the burden records requests can put on cities like Newark, the state’s largest. He agreed the use of the Open Public Records Act by commercial enterprises is an issue, but the bill does little to address it. He pointed to previous bills introduced by former Sen. Loretta Weinberg that aimed to alter that practice “but also leaves democracy intact.”
“I also stand with other mayors who want to push back against those who have weaponized OPRA to make money for themselves, but this is an opportunity for us to stand up for democracy,” he said in a video posted to social media.

Donald Trump and being racist, a long history.
Look Karen, teaching the history of America involves slavery and the 100 years of Jim Crow laws of the southern states. This just did not involve a small period in the history of America, it happened for almost two centuries, you know that is 200 years of American lifestyle. You want to dismiss it because even when I was child it was the way of life in America.
Guess what, I live in the south, many of these people are white, racist, and many of them barely make it through the eighth grade. You want to praise that I see those pick-up trucks with the Stars and Stripes Flag flying and I want to beat the shit out of something.

Jack Smith preparing legal kill shot for Aileen Cannon in Trump documents case, experts say
https://www.nj.com/politics/2024/05/jack-smith-preparing-legal-kill-shot-for-aileen-cannon-in-trump-documents-case-experts-say.html
It seems that Jack Smith has been strategizing very wisely. Love to see AJC given her third strike and probably her chance at the SCOTUS.
When former President Trump falsely claimed in a fundraising email on Wednesday that President Biden was “locked & loaded and ready to take me out,” special counsel Jack Smith moved swiftly.
Smith on Friday asked federal judge Aileen Cannon for a gag order, insisting that Trump’s reckless comments not only could spur violence against the FBI, but also violated Trump’s terms of release after his indictment.
Trump is charged with taking classified national defense documents from the White House after he left office and resisting the government’s attempts to retrieve the materials.
Legal experts say Smith is trying to box in Cannon — who has slow-walked the case and protected Trump from a trial before the November election.
Smith likely believes Cannon will deny the gag order, in which case Smith will petition the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to have her removed from the case, legal experts predicted.
In two previous instances in the case, Cannon has been rebuked by the 11th Circuit, and experts believe this could be strike three. Former White House attorney Ty Cobb has predicted previously that the 11th Circuit “will likely take her off the case” eventually.
p.s. Al Jazeera headquarters is in Qatar, which, totally coincidentally, is where the top guys in Hamas are enjoying their lavish lifestyles. Move along, please, nothing to see here.
If, on October 8, the ICC had declared Hamas war criminals for their attack on Israel, and had Qatar expelled the Hamas leadership then, most likely this would all be moot
Al Jazeera Arabic? Good one. I suppose you quote KKK newsletters about American race relations.

You decry the MAGAts for doing, basically, this exact same thing. They believe what they read about Biden, Hunter, Pelosi, the economy, Putin, etc. on the internet because it's what they want to believe. That's just what you're doing here, believing this because you want to..
Like lowering educational standards.....Math is racist, Merit is racist.....lower standards for the military, police.....Blame guns when 17% of the population commits nearly half the murders, so punish the law abiding gun owners.....Lower criminal standards,,,,,,Offender to now be Justice impacted individual......sheesh, if a citizen dares defend themself or others, find away to charge them.....
Flood the country with cheap labor when inequity is rampant, then play the race card....Ignore the inflation and say its all good,,,,,Ignore the economies impact on people and haul in that corporate money....
Teach all whites are racist,,,,,America sucks always has, its a racist bigoted country, the founders were assholes, not wise men beyond their time, cancel them.....screw free speech, everything is offensive............
You see, it's far past economics, its the total loss of common sense.....you've lost your focus on the country as a whole......and like I say, you wonder why...
So back to that debate, keep on calling half the country stupid, racist, and that you have all the answers as the above shows and wonder why common people are as tone deaf to you now as you are, and have been, to them....
Did I point out that you look very undemocratic by trying to keep people off the ballot and coming up with charges to keep a candidate you don't want out of office.....You can no longer just represent the country as a whole and win? This election never should have been a contest and you only have yourselves to blame....
Enough,,,,,,,you've crossed every line to an extreme and wonder why you're facing an extreme back at you....thats what's really dumb...

Musk is already fucking with peoples browsers by blocking built in safety features of a personal browser. He openly forces people to turn off tracking protection.
You may not care, but a large portion of people do.
He must feel naked without his 25 paid morons standing behind him with their signs.
Hilarious. But no AI still hasn't gotten hands (three fingers - maybe they shouldn't use MTG as a data model), body parts quite right yet. Words are a challenge too so far.
I identified the Dem programs that effect more of the common people, that transcend economics, that provide a safety net during GOP induced recessions and none of which are cake. You've yet to identify anything the GOP has EVER done for the common people, except serve up shit sandwich economic performances and tax policies that jack up the debt.
Not 'common sense' is the lame claim from those who fall for misinformation because they lack critical thinking skills.
It's decidedly NOT common sense to ignore the factual rebuttals to your laughable blaming of the Dems for everything that upsets you without even considering what the GOP has done to create the circumstances that ignite your ass on fire.
Again, the common man right down to today has benefited economically far better from the Dems, for a LONG f'ing time, than it has from the GOP. Apparently the following, posted to another but applicable as well to your profound misunderstanding of which party helps the middle class the most, didn't sink in. I know you read it. Try again, for comprehension this time.
Uh, huh, which part of my post is inaccurate history?
Smoking or not you must be a student of Professor Bunker, if you think we need a man like Herbert Hoover again.
And you also have to be a history and economic illiterate to want to turn the keys to our economy over to the kind of incompetence the GOP is deservedly notorious for.

The unemployment rate has risen on average under Republican presidents, while it has fallen on average under Democratic presidents. Budget deficits relative to the size of the economy were lower on average for Democratic presidents.[1][2] Ten of the eleven U.S. recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents.[3]
If you advocated for the common people like you advocate for men in women's sports, you would have a point...
Policies of the past, mainly free trade above fair trade, (the selling off of American Industry) was a mistake that has come to bare....Dems quite literally threw working Americans under the bus....You represent the rich now as the 9 out of ten richest districts are now Democratic shows....Wealth inequity didn't happen because the dems didn't change their ways.....And as far as your bills go, you can keep your cake...
So enjoy your weekend, continue your politics, keep that hearing aide turned low and to the channel of MSNBC, people know they aren't being heard and haven't been, they've only had their pockets picked and you the pickpocket's friend.
Bottom line, with all your supposed education, you've lost your common sense....Keep calling half the country racist and see how that works out,,,,,,,, Common sense says its not a good approach,,,
Now ignore all that and move on......
Edit
No, the context is reaping the whirlwind and unintended consequences.
You claims about elitism are badly undermined by facts on the ground; Dem Bills that have put people to work and Dem support for programs created by Dems, SS, Medicare and the ACA, that impact far more people positively than anything that election denying, insurrection inciting, anti-abortion Trump and his fascist, torch and pitchfork, wannabe theocrat, supporters have EVER done.
Still out of context compared to the topic.....I expect nothing less from dems these days,,,its almost like you want trump elected........
So, as to the actual topic, populism grows when the elite no longer respect or take into account the common people...Nancy got her ass dusted and dems make a huge mistake calling half the country racist....Not so unlike talking to minorities like its 1960.....
Just a reminder here during Memorial Day weekend, most of the US soldiers that died and were wounded in war, were just common men.....
If you actually read the 1924, it was about trying to make sure America be a white, Christian, nation. Once again, you are defending racism in America.
Allow me to put on my 'elitist spelling hat'. It's doubtful that if Janice sews she would consider that she reaped a sweater, a repaired garment or whatever.

However the correct word and phrase accurately describes the whirlwind unleashed by the Dobbs decision and the thus far repeated electoral repudiation of that decision. Dog that caught the car works too.
Did the elitist SCOTUS and the tone deaf republicans trying to endanger women's health and, now in LA, outlaw an FDA drug that has proven to be safe and effective, point their noses in the air?

The medications are also used outside of abortions, for other care such as managing miscarriages. Ellie Schilling, an attorney in Louisiana who specializes in reproductive health law, told reporters that the bill would make it "incredibly difficult" to use the drugs for medically necessary purposes, and would lead to the government monitoring pregnant women and those who prescribe the medication.
Wikipedia is a good STARTING source...but it also has inherent bias that has been exposed in the past, janice. If you did some googling on the issue, there are interesting points made on IF the influx of immigrants continued at the previous pace in 1924, there would have been some negative impacts to the country.
janice--wish you had more context with past postings and position statements (and not the false accusations from others) before you posted. No worries. This board really should be for sharing info without personal attacks. It was only after numerous personal attacks on me did I begin to respond in kind, but I really should not stoop to that low standard. Especially being snarky with someone relatively new to the fray.
My bad. And I apologize.
Have a relaxing Memorial Day...
LOL After your picture the name Skidz won't escape again. The two are lucky little animals.
Guys like him either don't compute, or he is still lying to us.
Well, all of the attendees of the Libertarian convention have earned themselves a spot on TFG's retribution list.
The cat's name is Skidz because he runs around my floors like an ice skater. He's hilarious when he gets going and when he tries to stop, he does a 180 like a skier.
The other day we got a fly in the house and he was on a mission to be the exterminator. Between all the slipping and sliding and incredible leaping I almost pissed my pants laughing. Even the dog, who is usually in on the shenanigans, jumped up next to me to enjoy the show..
thanks....
Darn right you do. Xoie and the other one, name has slipped, know.
I figured he would have backed out and I'm just catching up on the spectacle... I hope there's a recording on youtube somewhere for me to enjoy.
