What if she does really good things like maintain good economic policies, prevents republicans from repealing Obamacare, provides Ukraine with military aid to defeat Russia, and helps young people achieve home ownership? Like why does he laugh matter? Shouldn’t we be debating policies?

I’ll support the candidate who’ll maintain Obamacare, a service that lazy poor MAGAs take advantage of the most. Isn’t it funny that the laziest in our country who live off the government teet are the ones who bitch the most about the government?

Republicans are serious about cutting people’s health care

Donald Trump’s election could allow the GOP to gut Medicaid and protections for preexisting conditions.

You've got a lot to learn about othering. That's all that matters. You know, like lumping 40% of the country into a derogatory category, like "MAGA".

I do it to highlight the absurdity of what’s been the standard political dialogue for a number of years (it predates Trump). Remember Romney/Ryan “takers vs makers” or “job creators.” And we still see “real America” as ALWAYS being identified as the sweet innocent always victimized rural whites. Never ever ever is “real America” our beautiful cities full of diversity, innovation, and millions of hard working people. You know, the places where the majority of America’s population, GDP, and culture is found? Hopefully it causes us to think twice before we label “makers vs takers” or “welfare queens” or define what “real America” is. Btw, have you read a single piece in the last four years interviewing Biden voters in a cafe? Yet, how many pieces have we seen produced interviewing rural MAGAs? The double standard we have in this country to always paint rural whites/MAGA in favorable light really does our political dialogue a disservice.

I fully support the ACA despite me at this time not benefitting from it nearly as much as the working poor, the elderly, or the uninsured. We need to see past our own noses. We need to vote for those who seek to use their political positions to benefit the whole. And we really need to rethink how we describe “real America.”

It's kind of crazy but so many of the people I interact with express their complete disdain for cities.

Cities are what humans build. If we didn't value them they wouldn't exist. Yet it is what we do. Humans belong in cities the same way ants belong in an ant hill, or bees belong in a beehive. Cities are the essence of humanity.

I mean farms are cool too I guess.

Excellent pts.

Which is why I’m reflecting the language they use; it highlights the stupidity of crapping on our cities and the majority of the population. Frankly, I’m tired of it. I’m tired of being told that white ruralists are the only people who are American.

I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the right thing to do. Right and wrong. It’s not that difficult. Guess I took Civics as a subject worthwhile, it must have stuck. Once we let our presidents make this kind of power grab, where am I living? Right and wrong. Foundational principles. Sappy stuff like that. It’s not that difficult.

Trump sought to ‘perpetuate himself in power’​

Smith’s office stressed the private and political nature of Trump’s actions around the 2020 election.

“The executive branch,” prosecutors wrote, “has no authority or function to choose the next president.”

That argument appeared designed for federal appeals courts, including the Supreme Court, that have placed a heavy emphasis in recent years on the historical understanding of the separation of powers.

In other words, Smith is arguing that Trump’s effort to overturn the election was necessarily private because the Constitution gives a president no official authority for choosing his successor.

“The defendant’s charged conduct directly contravenes these foundational principles,” the motion reads. “He sought to encroach on powers specifically assigned by the Constitution to other branches, to advance his own self-interest and perpetuate himself in power, contrary to the will of the people.”

It appears Jack Smith has changed his mind, says there is nothing worth charging, and is working quickly to abandon the sinking ship like the rat his is.
