2025 Political Thread

Meanwhile, on the Epstein front...

Wyden has been focusing on the financial angle, of course. Here's a little coverage from Portland's NBC affiliate in July:


 
And in terms of Venezuela, things are looking more and more like the early times of US involvement in Vietnam. Sigh.
 
Yes. The word, "Fake." It doesn't even come close to the MTG video fakery earlier this year.

It looks terribly fake, but it is real. The part conspicuously left out of the above post was that Rep. Taylor immediately denounced it and requested an investigation from Capitol police.

It likely got there from either an idiot staffer that will be fired or someone who was trying to set Taylor up.

I'd like to see tens of millions of people out there this Saturday, holding "Impeach Trump" signs,

For every negative there should be a positive.

I do think the current POTUS should be impeached for taking too much power and, if it falls under the "offense" category, for encouraging divisiveness and being way too partisan -- for not being the whole country's CEO, i.e., failure as a leader and manager.

A little investigation would probably reveal shenanigans, too -- something that can be said about most administrations but perhaps more so with this one, particularly in international dealings.

That said, Mike commented that Trump has done some good things. Danged if I can see them right off the bat, but I'm going to look for them (and hope Mike and others might share their views, too).

1. It's probably backhanded but nonetheless a compliment that this all must have shown many progressives and other left-of-center types that there are other points of view in this country. Ignoring, ridiculing, and otherwise invalidating them for your own benefit is how you get more Trump. This is bad. Accepting others is good, and finding areas of mutual agreement -- not even a concept to many people over the last half-century or so, rather than point/counterpoint shouting -- would be even better.

2. We are in a bad financial way as a nation and Trump is doing something, which is more than past administrations and Congresses recently have been capable of.

3. I like his emphasis on US workers. Biden's "Let them learn to code," in reference to the pipeline workers really sucked.

Gah! My head hurts! ;)

Try as they might to discredit his role, Trump played a huge role in the Israeli/Hamas ceasefire/hostage exchange. My dislike for him won't cloud my judgement when he does something positive.

In other news, when is anyone other than a Republican going to call out Jay Jones? I've been sick for a couple of days, so maybe someone has and I missed it, but the silence from the left has been deafening.
 
How crazy has politics become in this country? The left is mad at Trump because CBS hired a left-leaning centrist bisexual woman to run the company.
Where are you seeing this? I'm not seeing any news sources that are making a connection there, at least from sources that aren't blatantly biased.

I've seen several comment on social media, real accounts, not bots, about how CBS should not have hired this person and are blaming Trump for putting pressure on CBS.

I never even heard of the woman. I had to google her to find out anything about her.
