Retired guy. Someone who wants my grandchildren grow up in a world that is kinder, safer, and more just than the one we live in today. Deeply disappointed by the current state of politics in the United States. Not a big fan of either the Rs or the Ds.

There are plenty of things to worry about in this world and this is not one of them. The source article makes it clear there is no danger from this.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

Considering the alternatives Trump could have appointed as a temporary replacement to serve out the rest of Graham’s term, I think this was not such a bad choice.

It depends on how you want to define "richest." That said, we are clearly wealthy enough to take better care of our people.

I am not really a Bernie fan, but I clearly agree with this legislation and feel that he deserves credit for not simply saying what he is against, but proposing real solutions. Will congress pass this and will the president sign it? Of course not, but he is doing all he can to promote it.

How did we get to the place that undermining the will of the voters became the primary will of the politicians? That there is competition between these politicians as to who can undermine the will of the voters faster and more effectively? End gerrymandering by moving Forward.

Mueller served his country honorably. We should be thankful for his service. When I heard the news about his passing, the first thought that came to mind was curiosity about what awful things Trump would say on social media. I understimated Trump's capacity for petty vindictiveness. What an asshole.

Over 180,000 Iranians were killed in the 1980–1988 Iran-Iraq War. Iran's leaders don't care how many of their military and citizens are killed in this or any other war. It is beyond naive to think that Iran will surrender.

Zing! Sen. Tillis goes for the jugular with Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller.
Screenshot of an X.com post by Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) quoting an exchange: “Reporter: The president called you a loser.” It attributes a response to Republican Senator Thom Tillis: “I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.” Below is a CNN hallway scrum video thumbnail of Tillis speaking to reporters. A lower-third reads “DEVELOPING STORY” and “GOP SEN. TILLIS: ‘I DON’T HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE’ IN NOEM,” with “LIVE” and CNN branding.

There are no words to express how disrespectful, juvenile and petty DJT and his administration are behaving. If this were any other administration I would ask if this was created by AI. But, with Trump, it is just one more of innumerable examples of his and his team's ridiculous behavior.

No Labels may be failing, but that does not mean they are wrong. If we can't break free of the two party system, nothing will change for the better in this country. The political pendulum swings back and forth between the incompetent party and the crazy party every 4 years. We need a better system.

I think the Democratic Party needs to put country over party by voluntarily choosing to empower independents and third parties. Push for reforms that reduce 2-party power like nonpartisan primaries, proportional ranked choice voting, and multi-winner districts. Live up to your name. Renew democracy.

This is the kind of approach that doomed the Democratic Party in the last election. Try listening to the concerns of the working class rather than telling them what is good for them.
