  • I'd rather have Nationalized Health Care and more social services in general. The more military and defenses the US builds, the more they need, while the quality of life of the masses decreases. In the 1950s, if a US citizen had a high school degree and a job, they could get a mortgage and buy a house. Those days are long gone. Maybe the solution is spending less on the military and defenses so we can concentrate on raising the standard of living of the masses? If not, then just what are they trying so hard to save? Lifestyles of the rich and famous?

  • California’s Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) grudgingly picked him for governor.

  • The plutocrats' war on the poor. Make America Great Again?

  • How is any citizen supposed to follow the laws of two different countries?

    Chan says Hong Kongers, some who are Canadian citizens, have faced surveillance, intimidation and pressure directed at themselves and their families by Chinese authorities. He wants to see if the text of the MOU contains oversight mechanisms to limit the reach of China’s security apparatus.

  • Trump doing the bidding of ultra-rich plutocrats, thus he remains.

  • According to the story, they figured it out after they'd put him in a vehicle and were going somewhere.

  • Per the article, Roberts said,

    “I think they view us as truly political actors, which I don’t think is an accurate understanding of what we do,” he told a conference of lawyers and judges in Pennsylvania. “We’re not simply part of the political process.”

    Shouldn't he have said We’re simply not part of the political process.?

  • This is called plutocracy. The year 1973 is mentioned in the article as marking the beginning of this plutocratic takeover. That was the year in the US when rising real-estate property values began an acceleration. In the 1950s, if you had a job after high school, you could afford to buy a house.

  • It's a feature, not a bug?

  • I gave up TV somewhere around 2011, so wasn't aware of "Vought International" of The Boys. Sorry.

  • Isn't it interesting we don't read much about him in the news? Author of a section of Project 2025, and director of the US Office of Management and Budget. "Follow the money"?

  • Reminds of the New Testament and Jesus Christ. Preach the New Testament, practice the Old Testament. Same as it ever was.

  • Can we get back to talking about Epstein?

  • The letter, entered by Senators Whitehouse and Reed of Rhode Island on April 30, represents an unusually direct intervention by medical experts spanning conservative and liberal ideologies, multiple religions, and diverse backgrounds. The press release announcing this action was published Tuesday night (May 5).

    It's rare to read that in published form. A potential problem is that it may be useful to someone near Trump for him to remain there. Perhaps Vance, perhaps Vought, perhaps someone else, or a group of them. I don't believe Trump is making these continually bad and harmful decisions on his own. "The power behind the throne."

  • Beating down on kids is so human.

  • The guidance includes a new billing code for providers to get paid more easily for stepping patients off the drugs.

    No national health insurance, but there's a new "billing code" for patients to experience!

  • There are a lot of foreign corporations operating in the US. Is this push for denaturalization only against humans?

  • I understand the article topic is enforced sanctions on third parties. That however was not quite what I was getting at, as my question was about two parties, a buyer and a seller: an atheist entity and a religious entity. Also, I note you didn't answer my question about the source of your atheism quote.
