AOC blames Democrats so of course GOP uses it to ATTACK Democrats for the world to see

god DAMMIT... this is the kind of SHIT that will lead to us losing the House...WHY DOES SHE DO THIS???

If you are looking at this you are NOT MAD AT ME for posting it here, you are mad at HER for letting the GOP do this to us! If you are a Democrat, that is.


I honest to god dont know if she just doesnt understand how the game is played or
doesnt care.

At the end of the day I also care more about homeless people than the "feelings" of us Democrats, BUT when your opponent are NAZI FASCIST TERRORISTS you NEVER do this for them, FOR THEM!

Wait, the Progressive Caucus is saying no to infrastructure unless what?

Someone explain to me what they want, what has to happen for them to get it (is more than 50 votes needed in the Senate?) and who here supports them?

The reason we cant have nice things, remember in the 60's when the media was labeled

"Liberal" because a few journalists from reputable newspapers reported the truth about the Vietnam War and then the truth about Watergate and then a journalist admitted he was liberal thinking, i.e. open minded and had travelled the world and not all human beings thought like Americans, etc?

And then even worse Roe v Wade happened and some reporter mentioned that abortions weren't illegal everywhere or most places (this part I am not clear on right now as to how many places outlawed it) but the Jerry Falwell Moral Majority types went berserk and lathered people up into rage over Women having rights to their own bodies, and if you supported Women having rights this meant you were liberal and therefore godless and bad.

Ever since the media has to let cons get away with 100 crimes/violations/disgusting acts before one is held accountable but if you are a dem or liberal all you have to do is

&ab_channel=CNN

So don't look for the MSM to demand resignation of trump when he takes the side of the KGB over the CIA, on national TV. Or when he kills half a million people due to neglect and negligence.

Dont look to them even now to call out GOP leaders who are making it illegal to require masks. They arent going to do it, they cant, the rules dont allow it.

We keep letting them get away with this.

Does Garland have the full, unredacted Mueller Report?

Can members of Congress see it now?

A list of things that dont actually exist but are alive and well thanks to cons...

I will start, please add on:

1. Voter ID being legal

2. Cancel Culture (why is accountability called something else?)

3. Violence by BLM

4. Antifa (was gonna say violence by Antifa, but there is no such organization in the first place)

No Rodney, I dont think we can, sadly...

I was visiting my son last couple of days for the first time in almost 2 years because of Covid, I was dying inside not having seen him. I had a heart scare and wasnt sure if I would see him again before I died, as I feared another heart attack (doing better now, got a stent, my 3rd, I should be good now as long as I do my exercise and watch my diet, yes I can still eat pizza, just not all the time .)


We both love Quentin Tarantino movies, especially "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" and "Django Unchained", among others.

We watched them together last night and during Django we repeatedly looked at each other and said we were back to those days, with trumpers Maga, GOP, etc.

They want slavery again, sure as I am sitting here typing on an LG laptop.

They want "Mandingo" fighting again. In fact that disgusting practice helps explain why so many ignorant white folks are overly afraid of Black men, these days. Why cops shoot first, if it is a Black man, all too often.

Yes, I know Tarantino is controversial. Using the "N" word the way he does in his scripts and his obvious misogyny. But I admit I like the movies.

It is a LIE that logging would help prevent forest fires or spreading of fires.

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20181113-five-myths-about-wildfires


Myth #1: Regularly logging forests prevents forest fires

A common assumption is that logging, or removing some trees, would prevent fires. In fact, many forest experts say that logging is ineffective. This is because the tree remnants left over after logging, such as stumps and branches, provide a super-fuel for fire – one that is even drier (and more flammable) in the absence of a forest canopy.



My closest friend is former hotshot Captain, firefighter, USFS.

I was telling him how I believed that logging might reduce fires, he assured me no, not at all.

Power companies use this as an excuse.

SPREAD the word EVERYWHERE!

Up until now, for the most part, GOP stole elections by voter obstruction, gerrymandering.

Flipping votes didnt happen (Yes, I said it did and I was wrong) and fixing voting machines probably also didnt happen.

None of this matters, however, in red states now, because if the GOP loses the election they will simply say there was fraud and they will begin the end of Democracy in America and someone please tell me WHAT in the FUCK can we do to stop it?

Cuz I cant thing of a god damn thing.

Well, if I had a time machine we could all go back 5 years and people on the left could NOT trash Hillary all day everyday, THAT would have avoided most of this. But I dont have it this week, my ex-wife has it and she is not speaking to me right now because I took the grilled cheese machine she wanted when we split up.





Imagine how many people either did not vote at all or voted but not for Prez or voted 3rd party because every time they correctly heard someone describe trump as a complete idiot and prick, someone chimed in with anyone of the following:

"Well Hillary isnt much better"

"Hillary is a terrible candidate but I will HOLD MY NOSE and vote for her."

You retired cats, how many annual miles are you now driving with the opening up

of everything but assume you are still driving less than before Covid and what are you telling your car insurance company because the lower miles annually driven means lower premiums, by the way.

(cats as in folk, I am an old musician and I like to talk that way when I can)

I love Randi Rhodes intelligence and research, but...

I love Randi Rhodes intelligence and the homework she does, but her condescension with her audience is almost too much to take anymore.

When she explains something she always says “you” and she never says “us“, what this means is she knows the information and we don’t and she is superior to us and is educating us.

She can barely tolerate talking to someone who calls into the show unless they have a perfect cadence and question or comment.

I have earned the right to make these criticisms because I have listened to her for years and have been very involved in her message boards and I have financially supported her show also.

If you listen to her and you do not hear what I am hearing then check yourself, because it is painfully obvious.

Having said all that, her intelligence and research are more important and valuable than her faults. Oh, and I also wish she would admit her criticism of Hillary in 2016 didn’t help matters.

I also wish John Fugelsang would admit he didn’t help matters either
