People are no longer free to share this on Zuckerberg's fascist app. He's taking it down.
Thankful for COSO! Here is a very complete American Autocracy Threat Tracker.

The right has stolen our flag and perverted its meaning. Now they're trying to claim credit for bills that fund infrastructure projects in their districts that they themselves voted against. They mimic the soul of the man who leads them.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics, then way over there are polls. All polls are Not Even Wrong. They are less than meaningless, they do harm. By soaking up media attention. By keeping horse race politics, front and center. By crowding out substance reporting. It is easier to count the biases in any one poll, than the lies any one politician spews.

They are the Clickbait of politics.
It is a junk science.

"For all the morons fixated on President Biden mixing up names tonight, answer me this:

Who is Tim Apple?
Who confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi?
Who confused Barack Obama with Joe Biden?
Were there airports during the Revolutionary War?

We can play this name confusion game all night."

Me: Hah!

This week Joe Biden met with NATO leaders and Ukraine's Zelensky. This week Donald Trump spent time with his good buddy and fellow autocrat Turkey's Viktor Orban. They share a friendship with Vlad Putin. There's a very clear difference in the company these two candidates keep.

Here's how I feel.. just my opinion but,

No one can run on the accomplished record of the last four years, except Biden. No one else can take credit for bringing down inflation with job growth at the same time, strengthening NATO et al. "Someone else" has absolutely no record to run on. How can we talk about accomplishments when "that guy" steps down. Hint* we can't. So, I'm backing the Biden/Harris ticket we voted for. We have incumbent advantage, let's keep it. 💪

They're actually adding to our nation's debt while swimming in profits.
Sort of a reverse Robin Hood.

One has to remember these companies are taxed at a lower rate than your teacher, fireman or factory worker.

Pure greed. It used to be just oil companies attempted to sabotage elections, now it's every major corporation - including news organizations.

Interesting numbers:
According to Statista, corporate profits in the U.S. have grown significantly since 2000, when they totaled $786 billion, to around $3.5 trillion in 2022. In the final quarter of 2023, corporate profits after taxes stood at $2.8 trillion, which is a $105 billion increase from the previous quarter. This means that corporate profits accounted for about 10% of the total quarterly GDP.

This election has far reaching consequences for countries around the globe. We can't afford to have alliances that have kept us safe for decades fall by the wayside.

"Why aren't we hearing more about the logistics that make it impossible to replace Biden!?"

Because the media exists not to inform you about basic facts or reality, but to spin up a horserace that keeps you clicking for more.

Biden visited a church on Ogontz Ave today.

But from the media coverage,you wouldn't know that 1)he stayed for the entire service; 2)he delivered a speech; and 3)the congregation stood up and chanted "FOUR MORE YEARS!" afterwards.

All you heard in media was about the small group of protesters that stood out in front of the church at Ogontz and Stenton.

Let's just say they weren't sufficiently "dressed" for COGIC services. And they WEREN'T waiting for the 6 bus.

"The crisis Biden revealed to the world last week is not about age. It’s about courage."
Great article that speaks to the unspoken part of our culture the last ten years and probably further.

This is based on a fantastic Politifact page. A lot of data to digest and it is REALLY, REALLY important that you FACT CHECK reality before making your decisions.

Trump was a fucking horror. He remains a monster.

Biden has had nothing but America in mind for his decisions.

Trump only had one person in mind: himself.

We cannot NORMALIZE selfishness like this. Biden isn’t the problem.

Why the fuck don’t Americans see this>

Stunned - Trump lied. Project 25 is as close to a platform as Republicans get in the age of Trump. He never heard of it? Right.
