It's not just the money that's corrupted our politics. It’s a moral corruption — the cynical indifference of powerful people.

As Jack Smith Testifies, a Senator’s Accusation of Perjury Falters

A Republican eager to prove the former special counsel was dishonest appeared to instead demonstrate his own confusion over basic facts.

For decades we have been saying: maybe Democrats should run ads that simply quote Republicans saying horrible things about their own constituents. But Democratic consultants convinced Democrats that that would be too effective. So, this is validating to watch. Also, always hated false civility.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Under Trump, the U.S. went “who cares that these relationships are mutually beneficial, you need us, pay us tribute.” And in response, most countries are going “no, what we need are mutually beneficial relationships with reliable partners, and there’s a whole world out there, we’ll go elsewhere.”

It’s not unusual for a wartime president to ease up before a domestic election but usually they’re smart enough not to announce that it’ll start again as soon as the voting’s done.

Oligarchs. The word for very rich businesspeople directly connected to the top of the government and playing a role in high-level government functions is “oligarchs.” Way beyond lobbying, donating, and advisory councils. Trump brought them on his trip to China too. America has oligarchs now.

this isn't conjecture. This is the EXACT reason why one of the quickest ways to shut down a fash with a camera is to start shouting: "this video is brought to you by SquareSpace!" INSTANT demonitization. Because the streaming/social platforms already protect their advertisers more than the state.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Whenever Republicans say gas prices spiked “under Biden” they always fail to mention that it coincided with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But Trump promised dozens of times during the campaign that he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours & said it “wouldn’t even be hard.”

Iran war advocates got exactly what they wanted. It just didn't work out how they imagined. For years, the argument for the US attacking Iran was that the regime was brittle, on the verge of collapse, and bombing would put them over the edge. That assumption was core to the case against JCPOA too.
