US Politics Thread

It’s funny how everything you don’t like about “lefties” is “far left,” yet everything “lefties” seem not to like about your preferences is “center right”…even though much of it, and much of what Trump espouses is FAR FAR RIGHT.
Okay let's not generalize. Define far right as you see it and what policies animate the "Far Right"?

Sometimes, I feel "far right" is often used as an euphemism for racist/bigot. But I digress.
I seem to remember how he told us he had never heard of Project 2025 and certainly hasn’t read it, yet here we are, with a Cabinet out of Heritage Foundation central casting!!

It’s a bad joke and the whole world is laughing at us from behind their hand, but WE have to live it!!
While I'd bet good money Trump never read Project 2025. Something most people will agree with. This had to be the silliest of all the Trump attacks during the campaign.

Oh my God! A conservative Presidential candidate cabinet has a couple of people who worked for the Premier Conservative think tank..Shocker!!!

Should he have set up a resume shop in front of the Center for American Progress to please worried liberals?
 
Yes life is pretty good but it could always be better. The main thing is that I am reasonably healthy. That's the most important thing of all. Since this thread is about politics and such there are always going to be grievances/complaints and rightly so. It is one of the elements in the 1st Amendment after all.

I am angry that I havent had a raise in 4 years, that my promised pension was stolen in Chapter 11 proceedings, my earning power was diminished by about 30% for over 10 years. That is work wise.

I am disgusted and dissatisfied about the lack of leadership in the country and the lies and bullshit we have heard for a long time. I am disgusted by Washingtons immigration policy. The cost of living and the cost of energy ie inflation. I dont like what I see as injustice and crime in many big cities. I dont like hypocrisy.

Thankfully, I got out of New York a couple of years ago. New Jersey isn't much better but it is, indeed, better.

Some of these things effect me, some dont. Just because they dont doesnt mean I dont care about the negative impact it might have on other citizens.
Straight out of Jersey. :)
 
There appears to be an awful lot of effort going in to trying to get Hegseth (a Fox News host, and former soldier) installed as Sec Def, and alarmingly so. Almost like they want someone in that position who is willing to do as they're told with regards to deploying the military domestically, and Hegseth has agreed to be that guy.

Meanwhile the current actual president hurries to empty billions of dollars from the public coffers into the defence contractors pockets. All because since Nov 5 he's been filled with a sudden urgency to help the Ukrainian people of course.

I don't know if you saw the undercover video of the EPA official saying "we're throwing gold bars of the Titanic."? The name of the EPA bureaucrat is Brent Efron.

They've spent $50 billion in the last year alone, billions and billions to so-called non-profits, for which they then go and work. They're NO DIFFERENT TO THE REPUBLICANS THEY CRITICIZE.

"Over the last year we’ve given out $50 billion dollars for climate things…so to go work for one of these places would be really cool.

"We gave them [nonprofits] the money because… it was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Because they aren’t [a government agency], they’re safer from Republicans taking the money away."

Google his name.

Originally from Boston, Brent studied mechanical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. Following graduation, Brent worked as an organizer on two Democratic campaigns, first for Senator Tammy Baldwin in 2018 and then for Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign in Iowa during the 2019-20 Democratic primary. More recently, he worked in the North Carolina for Biden campaign headquarters as deputy data director and then joined the new Biden administration as Special Assistant to the Associate Administrator for Policy at the U.S. EPA. Through these experiences, he has seen first-hand how essential politics and policymaking are to making change. After receiving an MPA from SPIA, Brent is interested in working on implementation of new federal climate legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act, as well becoming a champion for Climate Adaptation at the local level, particularly in communities facing disproportionate impacts from the climate crisis.

lol "Inflation Reduction Act." Sure it was. We know exactly what it was.
 
Well if that’s how you would like to measure it then ok.

Own my own home with no mortgage. It’s rather modest though but I can comfortably afford. No debt of which to speak- only $4 grand or so on my car..

Hate having a car payment!!
Are you alright Jack?, sorry, I mean Frank, are you alright Frank?

I’m not laughing. Believe me.
