Trump will take credit for the strong economy President Biden created! When Trump’s agenda loses jobs along with a tanking of the economy, Trump will blame Dems and his “enemies!”
He can't. In two years, it's all in them.
He can’t but he will. He doesn’t care about time in office or anything.
Quiet success, to us, for sure. But how to insert this concept into thickened skulls?
No one is mentioning the fact that gas prices have been under $3 a gallon for at least six months.
Gas prices in Washington ad Oregon are anywhere from $4 - $5 a gallon
Thank you for interviewing this great public servant! Progressive democrats must protect the human right to work from home: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/working-from-home-is-a-human-right
Agree with Raja’s agenda but the framing of the issues sounds very old school. If the GOP went on and on about “death panels” during the ACA debate, it behooves Democrats to start pounding away at what Trump’s team is actually going to do. The nominated IRS Commissioner with his 23% flat tax? Hammer home how: “he’s raising your taxes to protect the rich!!!” And do not use the word: regressive.
How horrible! He’ll never stop lying! 🤥 trump will destroy the country.😩
Thanks for inviting Raja! Love seeing my former student working for Illinois and the people of the U.S.
Do you already miss the steady handed, competent governance of Democratic administrations vs. the incompetent chaos of the Republican unethical, criminal, clown show taking shape already! #ConvictedFelonTrump, 🍊💩🤡. #Politics
This is insane. Trump must never get away with this!!
Why didn’t Biden fire DeJoy? Why did he get a raise??
Address that question to the Board of Governors, if I am not mistaken.
I saw cords cut and Postal machines sitting outside 2 post office from DeJoy in Michigan. Mail is extremely slow now. Senator Gary Peters from Michigan is trying to fix DeJoys errors.
100% correct.
There IS someone to blame. It is capitalism, and the greed of capitalist. I'm not talking about small business. I'm talking about those who we never really see because they are insulated. they are the financial and banking barons, the large corporations like Amazon, Facebook, Elon Musk, the billionaires who have worked for decades to destroy the lives of working Americans every day, It is capitalism. Regulations, public ownership of needed industries (housing, health care, education, utilities) and limits on the amounts of monies that the CEO class can take in proportion to their workers. A 30:1 is a good number. 3000:1 is not. And we need to immediately tax away all the wealth except maybe for a few million dollars of these assholes, plus bring down the exempt inheritance to maybe 2 million. If someone can't make it on that, send them to Dave Ramsey.
Loss, it's all the financial loss and ruin since 2008. People want their hard earned money, clearly fleeced from the majority of the population from the crooked system that allowed. The stats prove this upward theft of their life's work and savings. It was and still is demonstrable systematic. People want restitution for this crime.
The biggest issue is, many of the people affected the most are in the latter phase of their life where no amount of employment training, nor new jobs, will make much of a difference to them, and their children. Their, (and my) children presently suffer, and when we are gone these same children's future will be suppressed simply by the fact of missed educational opportunities, and the pragmatic logistics of not being able to take advantage of new jobs as literal mobility, the ability to get to those jobs has been ham strung by the families loss of wealth and income. Many of these new jobs require a physical presence, as full digital conditions has removed many stable traditional jobs like retail from our community, and service work such as in data centers has been distributed world wide, or monopolized by the network tech monopolies such as Amazon.
Network theory has so much to do with this concentration, as those who build the most connected network wins. This is the fact in transportation, product distribution, as well as communications networking. It is evidenced for example, by every communication network since physical message delivery to the modern internet, as efficiency increased, the network connections increase and rapidly leads to consolidation and monopoly every time unless properly regulated such as what was done to Ma Bell in telephonic network communications.
This is going to be such a shit show. It already is. Snarky, foul, angry, unqualified losers.
Thank you for interviewing and exposing us to other leaders from all over the states (maybe the world). We need to see them!
