just want the opportunity to do that. Success is in the journey as opposed to the rewards which you can both enjoy and be charitable with.

It is an insatiable greed for status and/or power. The greed for power is worse, BTW.

AI Overview

Democratic policies for working-class Americans often center on strengthening unions, raising the minimum wage, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and investing in job creation and training programs.

Increased enforcement of labor laws:

Democrats support stronger enforcement of existing labor laws and increased penalties for employers who violate those laws, including those related to workplace safety and fair pay.

Here's an AI summary for you:
In the United States, the number of billionaires has significantly increased in recent years, with 268 new billionaires created in 2024 alone. This surge in wealth is not evenly distributed, as the top 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, exceeding the size of Switzerland's economy, according to The Wall Street Journal. This trend of wealth concentration is further highlighted by the fact that the number of U.S. billionaires has nearly doubled since 2021,

Remind me who was in charge from 2021-2024...

blaming both sides, while getting nothing done. This is still a democracy...(not sure for how long)...and it's voters that make the difference. Dems are on record for lowering the wealth gap...not Republicans...and Libertarians are powerless. DO SOMETHING about it.

...and has been from the get-go.

like to see if he can deliver...if he doesn't, he'll get voted out...but if he does perform he might be an inspiration to the rest of the country.

Hey, if you are willing to have a Malignant Narcissist, Convicted Felon, Rapist, Multi-Time Fraud, and Colluder with Vladimir Putin to win the Presidency...you should be willing to try ANYONE to run a city.

We've been over this but you're another one of the people who are incapable of learning.

I've long proposed eliminating all deductions and completely simplifying the tax code. This is the very obvious solution that Republicans and Democrats outside of a few can't seem to grasp.

The DOW would be $46k; Putin would be sucking air from an exhaust pipe; the US Government would be functioning on all cylinders; and our reputation and standing would be unscathed.

The prosecutor "blow job queen" would have us in more wars, the working class would be dead by their own hands or fentanyl and the military industrial complex billionaires would all have new yachts.

Recall when asked on the view she said she wouldn't change a thing. So we can easily imagine it would be just like Joe, which was strenuously rejected by the voters

You have poor judgement, the evidence is overwhelming.

to create a new one...you're just fantasizing on that...Dems have always fought for increases in the Minimum Wage...Workers Rights and Unions...NOT the GOP...so you're wrong again on the Working Class category. Also, for ALL the 99%ers, KH would NOT have given any tax breaks to Billionaires and Corporations...wrong again. On the Fentanyl Front, we'd have 100+ High Tech Scanners at all our Border Checkpoints right now...wrong again...PLUS...we'd have a Bipartisan Border Security and Immigration Bill that exceeded everything Trump asked for in 2019...thus controlling the flow of immigrants...IN and OUT of the country (Faster Documentation and Deportation)...etc., etc.

Never mind avoiding the chaos DJT is sowing, along with his sell out of Ukraine...while preserving Judicial Due Process. Trump is a true existential threat to America, and you can't make a simple choice based on evidence.

I can't do it for you Tyrone/Conor/[Other delusional morons]

Maybe it was all of the gaslighting about inflation.

Maybe it was all of the gaslighting about the presidents health.

Maybe it was all of the gaslighting about immigration.

Maybe it was all of the gaslighting about gender.

You idiots took the pendulum so far into left-wing crazy land and can't seem to figure out why it swung back the other direction.

made…and if the election were repeated today he’d lose in a landslide to KH…remember, his popular vote margin was only 1.5%.

For all intents and purposes, his future starts a downward spiral with the 2026 mid-terms…possibly sooner when enough GOP candidates can see the writing on the wall.

Libertarians...by a Conservative...will help clear the scales from your eyes...here's an excerpt, but do yourself a favor and read it all...won't take as long as many of your podcasts...

-------------------
Burke’s Admonition

When government undertakes objectives far beyond these ends, often government falls into difficulty, not being contrived for the management of the whole of life. Thus far, indeed, conservatives and libertarians hold something in common. But the libertarians, rashly hurrying to the opposite extreme from the welfare state, would deprive government of effective power to conduct the common defense, to restrain the unjust and the passionate, or indeed to carry on a variety of undertakings clearly important to the general welfare. With these failings of the libertarians plain to behold, conservatives are mindful of Edmund Burke’s admonition concerning radical reformers: “Men of intemperate mind never can be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”

Thus in the nature of things, conservatives and libertarians can conclude no friendly pact. Adversity sometimes makes strange bedfellows, but the present successes of conservatives disincline them to lie down, lamb-like, with the libertarian lions.

By this time, possibly I have made it sufficiently clear that I am no libertarian. I venture to suggest that libertarianism, properly understood, is as alien to real American conservatives as is communism. The typical conservative in this country believes that there exists an enduring moral order. He knows that order and justice and freedom are the products of a long and often painful social experience, and that they must be protected from abstract radical assaults. He defends custom, habit, tested institutions that have functioned well. He says that the great virtue in politics is prudence: judging any public measure by its long-run consequences. He is attached to a society of diversity and opportunity, and he is suspicious of any ideology that would rule us by a single abstract principle, whether that principle is “equality” or “liberty” or “social justice” or “national greatness.” He recognizes that human nature and society cannot be perfected: politics remains the art of the possible. He adheres to private property and free economic enterprise; he is aware that decent government, repressing violence and fraud, is necessary for the survival of a health economy.

Here's another famous Edmund Burke quote..."Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little"...ring any bells with your recent posts?

Is all the evidence you need how far left the pendulum has swung. It’s scary that we live amongst people like this, unless it’s truly just their internet persona.

Who do you think travels to a "No Kings" protest.
Who do you think wears a vagina hat?
Who do you think flies a Ukraine flag out front of their house?
Who do you think celebrates men beating women at sports?
Who do you think supports Hamas "globalize the intifada"?

These are deranged lunatics.
