“Small government doesn’t work. Small government is the catastrophic response to Hurricane Katrina, COVID, and the Great Depression and the Great Recession. Small government leads to human suffering, national disaster, and economic failure. Business runs best with a strong, robust government providing oversight of competition, consumer protection, and national economic security.”

Word.

@TheAbbotTrithemius yep flood the zone: "They Broke It They Own It" when all hell breaks loose with tariffs, gutted labor code, etc, etc. that's the message loud and clear

"Failure is coming to America. As a movement, liberalism must be ready to address and brand the coming failure as powered by conservatism. "

Willis nails it, but not sure how they're going to properly get tagged with the failure. Dems have proven incapable of making their case there and will be blamed for the failure.

SO HOW?

From Robert Reich newsletter: #NPBIC #AbolishTheElectoralCollege

1/2

"The Electoral College is a blatantly undemocratic institution that wreaks havoc over one of the core tasks of our democracy: the election of the President of the United States.

Giving voters in states w/smaller populations a systematic advantage in every presidential election since George Washington is a constant in American politics that disenfranchises the tens of millions of Americans who live in populous states."

Trump Won Less Than 50 Percent. Why Is Everyone Calling It a Landslide?

Right and left have bought the narrative of a crushing triumph. They’re wrong

Is it newsworthy that Donald Trump’s share of the 2024 presidential vote has fallen below 50 percent?

You wouldn’t think it’s a big deal based on the relatively few headlines triggered by the milestone, which passed quietly last weekend as California and other states continued their glacially slow vote counts

Are there fans of old westerns here among us?

I drew my son-in-law’s name for Xmas. He’s a western fan and my home area is known for movies, especially westerns so I’m looking at titles of classics to get him.

If you have a fav in these or a suggestion and I could see if was filmed in the Owens Valley area or close.
