    Do you offer anything new to the discussion or just like repeating that to us, people who just pass some time on a fan board for a 30 year old rock band, who in no way directly affect what the party does? 

    Someone else mentioned PBS? Not on this page at least.


    Such a strange definition you have of “new.” You’d be surprised how much this place sounds just like msnbc, But you’ll ignore all the complainers complaining about “fuckface” ad naseum, yet spend zero seconds understanding what happened in 2024. Be careful, you be the next “victim” targeted by the intelligentsia here.

    I meant always pivoting every news story to “it’s the Dems fault and they are useless and will never be better unless they do the EXACT thing I am posting about”. 

    It’s tiring.

    Also I’ve complained plenty about the juvenile name calling rather than just using real names.

    Also just because people have different takes about 2024 it doesnt mean people don’t understand it.

    I don't know what the hell we're talking about right now but firing the commissioner of the agency that reports jobs numbers due to manipulating the data is wild. 

    Just know any accusation by the right, and more specifically this dumb fuck lazy ass orange fascist is, and always will be, projection lol

    Looks like the Republicans will get their answer that everyone who works in federal government is crooked since they're making sure that is the end result.

    I’m not saying they’re useless, as they’ve all we got. They’ve allowed trump turn them into a version of him, that’s what’s tiring. And I don’t have an exact plan for them, other than get boots on the grounds that have slipped away and communicate with voters. That’s fairly vague.

    His intention is to get trade deals, so by design he should back out, not that I support tariffs.

    Why wouldn't it be?  1000 jobs in most likely poorer areas bringing jobs and income to the areas.  The companies will most likely get a tax break too so the prices(hopefully) will remain stable.

    Now if we can put into law and eliminate Planned Obsolescence.

    well, lets see how today goes.

    Early Thursday, the producer price index, or PPI, came in hotter than expected. The PPI rose 0.9% in July, above the 0.2% estimate, with an annual increase of 3.3% compared to the expected 2.6% rise. The core PPI, excluding food and energy, increased 0.9% vs. the 0.2% estimate. Finally, the core PPI had a year-over-year increase of 3.7%, above the 3% estimate.

    Well he just fired the people who produce the jobs numbers for the fed because numbers are being manipulated (not showing what he wants it to show). So that's cool.

    And PBS is shutting down…which is huge politically because the Dems lost their main way to reach rural America. Forget about screaming from the rooftops about these two blatant attempts to rig elections…we got the  Epstein drama to try to change votes.
    Not talking about Epstein will definitely bring back PBS funding.

    Between the two options, educating voters on the value of PBS is more likely to be an effective strategy for restoring funding. Advocating for a specific position on a controversial topic like Jeffrey Epstein's case would be seen as partisan and could further endanger federal funding, which is intended to be non-partisan.

    There’s no educating that crowd. Too far gone. Fools errand.
