No, Not really

 “They understand freedom as being left alone to make their own choices, and they resent being told what to do,” William Galston has written in The Wall Street Journal.

no, not really.

They are just selfish people who think that their rights, health, and privileges are more important that anyone else around them. They are told countless times what to do, and think by Trump and his acolytes. 


 

and then there is this....

"In an article this month for Breitbart, the right-wing website formerly run by Steve Bannon, John Nolte argued that the partisan gap in vaccination rates was part of a liberal plot. Liberals like Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Anthony Fauci and Howard Stern have tried so hard to persuade people to get vaccinated, because they know that Republican voters will do the opposite of whatever they say, Nolte wrote."

 I mean this is just idiotic. Basically the author is saying, it is your fault that I'm stupid. FFS.

Lincoln Rolling in his Grave

The part that he has once lead, not leads in voter suppresion. Lincoln must be rolling in his grave. If a party is working this hard to suppress your vote, they probably don't ahve any interest in actually governing towards your benefit. Just a thought. From one of the news sources that turnip calls fake. Only because that he does not like the negative things reported about him. Truly a snowflake if ever there was one. Pennsylvania: The state’s highest court has ruled that election officials should count mailed ballots that arrive up to three days after Election Day. Pennsylvania Republicans are trying to get the Supreme Court to reverse the order, so that only ballots received by Election Day will count. North Carolina: Republicans and the Trump campaign have asked the Supreme Court to block the state’s board of elections from extending the deadline to receive mail ballots. The board has said ballots can arrive until Nov. 12, as long as they were mailed by Election Day. Wisconsin: The five Republican-appointed justices on the Supreme Court sided on Monday with Republican officials in Wisconsin, ruling that ballots must arrive by 8 p.m. on Election Day to count. (A lower-court ruling would have allowed state officials to count any mailed ballots postmarked by Election Day and received up to six days later.) In response, the state’s Democratic Party is urging voters to return mail ballots in person — to a drop box or clerk’s office — rather than mailing them. Nevada: The Trump campaign has sued to stop the counting of absentee ballots in the Las Vegas area, evidently hoping to challenge the signatures on many ballots. Last night, the campaign and Nevada Republican Party filed a separate lawsuit, seeking detailed information on the vote-counting process. Texas: The state’s top court yesterday upheld a policy announced by Greg Abbott, the Republican governor, which limits each county to a single drop-off box for mailed ballots. The state’s largest county — Harris, which includes Houston — is home to 4.7 million people. Michigan: A conservative judge yesterday overturned an order by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, and ruled that people could carry unconcealed guns at polling places on Election Day. In many of these cases, Republicans have argued that changing voting rules because of the pandemic could lead to fraud (a claim that’s largely baseless) and that allowing ballots to be counted after Election Day leads to confusion and chaos. Democrats have argued that protecting people’s right to vote, during a national crisis, should be top priority. Democrats have also pointed out that some Republicans have changed their position on the counting of mailed ballots: When late-arriving ballots seemed likely to help George W. Bush in Florida in 2000, Republicans argued that the state should count them.

save the mail

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/17/opinion/trump-us-mail.html

As the mail-in voting crisis has erupted, some of the usual suspects on the right have taken to denouncing the Postal Service as a bad, money-losing business. But the founders didn’t put the postal clause in the Constitution because they saw it as a business opportunity; the Postal Service was supposed to serve broader national goals — and it still does.

I Like the Titanic Reference

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/09/opinion/trump-coronavirus.html

A normal president and a normal political party would be horrified by this turn of events. They would realize that they made a bad call and that it was time for a major course correction; they would start taking warnings from health experts seriously.

Way out of line

I consider myself very Progressive, but this is sheer lunacy. If you really feel that way about the United States of America oh, maybe you should go.

Shocking

Surprising that the study funded by the ride hail companies shows the highest hourly pay.

This guy is unreal
"""
Donald J. Trump on Monday blamed his sinking poll numbers on people paying attention when he talks.

Seriously?
"""
he said, “There are a lot of people out there who are listening to things I say and basing their opinions on them, and I think it’s very sad.”

FINALLY

Don't get me wrong I am glad this happened, but why are we praising the press for finally doing their job?

Health by lobbying

https://prospect.org/coronavirus/did-joe-pizza-tell-trump-about-hydroxychloroquine/


Trump had directed Veterans Administration officials to take instruction from three un-appointed Mar-a-Lago members who had never served in government or the military. Emails obtained by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington show how VA officials bristled under the shadow leadership of the “Mar-a-Lago Crowd”: Marvel Entertainment Chairman Ike Perlmutter, attorney Marc Sherman, and internist Bruce Moskowitz.

why Democrats lose

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/schumers-supreme-court-saga-not-over-as-gop-presses-forward-on-historic-censure

Constantly letting the GOP reframe the argument. It is why they always lose. Always playing defense. 

Considering what Schumer said, and how it pales in comparison to the things out of Trump's mouth, the GOP pushes, and he cowers and bends. Typical Democrat.

If the GOP really cared about what he said they would have censured their chief more than once.

Can you get more Obvious

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-28/trump-takes-credit-as-markets-rise-points-finger-when-they-fall

This far into his presidency, and this headline of the obvious is their choice?
No wonder the media is part of our problems.

This is who you voted for

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/opinion/coronavirus-trump.html

At that point the administration appears to have finally realized that it might need to do something beyond insisting that things were great. But according to The Washington Post’s Greg Sargent and Paul Waldman, it initially proposed paying for a virus response by cutting aid to the poor — specifically, low-income heating subsidies. Cruelty in all things.

Simply Amazing

https://thehill.com/video/in-the-news/474190-watch-live-house-judiciary-debates-impeachment-articles

I am still amazed that the republicans keep saying this. It was actually the will of the American People to have someone else as president if you just look at the vote tallies for each candidate. It is an antiquated system that however propelled our chief misogynist to the office he now holds.

Also, his landslide was one of the lowest EC victories in some time.

Then again, I know most Fox News viewers will only see the headline and refrain from doing any actual research on this topic.
