$98 billion aid for Ukraine and Israel yet the majority of Americans can't afford homes, health care, or have salaries that can keep up with this inflation. 

God Bless America. 

Tax money goes to Israel. Israel then uses that money to buy off politicians. Great scheme.

I think the tax money that goes to Israel is spent entirely on US military equipment, so it's really just a handout to the American military industry complex with some extra steps involved.

All the wealthy middle eastern nations with relations with the US take advantage of the US having legalised bribery in the form of lobbying to get favourable treatment - it's not that Israel is unique in buying US politicians tbh.

Lobbying is prominent in more countries than just America but the outcome is not favourable regardless.

Looks like Robert Hur lied about Biden's memory when he produced his report to Congress - and now the full transcript has been released and it shows that Biden didn't forget when his son had died & Hur even made a comment about Biden's memory being photographic.

I'm sure it's not illegal for Hur to be a dishonest partisan hack, but surely there must be some kind of repercussions for lying to Congress and the American public with the attempt to influence the election - certainly something more than a loss of reputation.

I think he's already tried that and managed to convince some morons to give him around $1.3m. So he's only got 460something million to go!

Im going from memory I think it was something to do with the stop the steal shit idk hes had so many grifts over the years; One of his fundraisers that had hit several million they went through and the average donation was in the 10-20$ range. Just crazy to me that an average person thinks he could use that for anything at all really.

Sure I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that a fundraiser was made to help make one of the Jenner's a 'self-made' billionnaire quicker. Money that could have been donated to literally any good cause.

The obsession with Trump is just part of the the technocrat panic at losing an election

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/03/25/mdvr-m25.html

Taken from the World Socialist Web Site, you often find gems when alliances splinter and people tell the truth.

Growing opposition to Democrats’ “all-out war” to block third parties from ballot

We are seeing what is in plain sight, the attempt to control the ballot yet they criticise Russia.

Joe Biden losing the election will be a clear sign of Democracy winning.

Weird you read socialist news.

It's a bit bollocks though because the only ballots that a political party can control are primary ballots... and those are for voters to pick who will represent that party. So yeah, you wouldn't see third parties on that - because that's not what the point of those ballots are. Those are for parties to pick their candidates.

For the general election, each state sets the rules for what lets you get on the ballot - not any party.

So it's just some made up bullshit to try to equate America to Russia to convince the lowest information US voters and foreigners who have a weird obsession with US politics but refuse to have any real sort of understanding about US politics.

Is one of those famous riddles I've heard so much about? Is the answer a bath towel?

What? It's Trump seething that RFK is polling well amongst his base, rather than getting traditional democrat voters to just like him because he's a Kennedy. Then a pic of a meme face of a guy seething and crying behind a happy face emoji mask to reflect Trump's hilarious post.

I know. It was a joke about Trump's nonsensical tweet. xD

Just watching the news now makes me a little sad for America.

I remember when I was younger thinking that America was an all mighty benchmark, then they went one further and had a progressive Black President. Now every time I turn on the news I see some Republican making a tit of themselves.

Trump guilty on all counts in his hush money for fucking a pornstar trial!

Was to be expected in that venue. Only the first round though, I suspect they will appeal immediately to the Supreme Court and they will likely toss it out.

Obama was more of a centrist than progressive, mate. Democrats are a right wing party with some factions that lean more central or left. It's just how America is; and in regards to Republicans that's an effect of the Reagan administration and the big party switch.
