    Capitalism is the foundation of American democracy, and there's nothing that money can't buy.

    The truly sad and frightening thing is that McConnell really believes that. He, himself probably pays a pittance in tax.

    A year ago, Trump demanded that Puerto Rico vote for him, not knowing that it isn't allowed to vote in presidential elections.

    He had earlier announced that he was giving Puerto Rico $18 billion in aid just six weeks before the election.

    Trump demands Puerto Ricans ‘vote for me' despite island not getting vote

    Donald Trump has demanded Puerto Ricans vote for him, despite the island’s residents not being able to cast a ballot in the presidential election.

    Mr Trump courted Puerto Rican voters during part of his Make America Great Again rally in Florida on Monday, his first since catching Covid-19.

    “I’m not gonna say the best, but I’m just about the best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico. You better vote for me, Puerto Rico,” boasted the president.

    None of the island’s 3.2 million US citizens has a vote in a presidential election, nor do those in the four other US territories of American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the US Virgin Islands.

    They'll never forget his loving generosity, tossing those rolls of paper towels to the crowd.

    McConnell is correct, and Donald Duck is a free man because there's nothing that money can't buy, except sanity, which is not something Americans have ever been famous for. Anyone who buys all the political hype, has not visited our government, which requires an extended visit. Right now, if you lined them all up, you might just live long enough to shake all their hands. We have big government, because 300 million people have big demands, for more sanity than Donald Duck and the Tea Party can muster.

    ,,, and the Trump administration hampering aid to Puerto Rico after the hurricane, partly due to Trump shutting down the government (the longest in U.S. history) because the GOP wouldn't give him U.S. taxpayer money for his border wall that he said Mexico would finance.


    Trump delayed $20bn in aid to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, report finds

    excerpt::

    "The investigators were unable to determine why the extra layer of review was required due to “denials of access and refusals to cooperate”, according to the report.

    The inspector general’s office conducted 31 interviews of 20 current and former Hud officials and two now-former Puerto Rico department of housing senior officials to write the report. However, investigators did not have access to the former Hud secretary Ben Carson and other political officials. The investigators were also denied or delayed access to Hud information on several occasions.

    The report found that Hud’s review and approval of their funding action plan for Puerto Rico was delayed due to the 2018-2019 government shutdown.

    “Staffing shortages due to the shutdown and miscommunications between HUD and the Puerto Rico Department of Housing pertaining to the grantee’s bank information delayed PRDOH’s ability to access grant funds until several days after the shutdown ended,” reads the document.

    The office of the inspector general investigation also said that both the former Hud secretary and former Hud assistant secretary Brian Montgomery expressed “mounting concerns and frustrations” to the then OMB director, Russell Vought, about Hud’s “inability” to expedite the release of funds."

    According to the AMA, Fundamentalism fits all the criteria for a mental disease. In other words, if the democrats are to be the voice of reason, they must declare the republican party insane.

    The outrageous actions that have taken over the news cycles since a mentally ill person entered the political scene, made a fool and an ass of himself campaigning, actually spewed 40,000 lies right in front of the entire world--(proving his illness!), had his crooked business dealings exposed-( and paid 25 million dollars for a fraudulent real estate school)----------see---I could go on and on how this totally immoral buffoon is not only posing a dire threat to an orderly democratic government (with all it's flaws), he has also exposed the depth of the ignorance / stupidity of millions and millions of citizens, but worse----the cowardice and the willingness of our republican legislators to sell this country out to keep their jobs and keep trump and his cult from criticizing them. To someone such as myself that has been around since FDR and lived through presidents and legislators that that were at odds with each other---much of the time------

    ---but could at least work together in seeming harmony even as they didn't see eye to eye on many / most issues. What's happening now seems like a disaster movie or a TV show and the media, the public and the whole world is watching this unfold IN REAL TIME! Can this be real? Is this really happening? Is our country actually falling / flying apart before the eyes of the world? Has this one mental midget thrown all sense of propriety to the winds and has proven that he and millions of citizens no longer care about honesty, integrity or fairness?? Unfortunately , we are still having to react to this insane ,twisted circus-------for dogs sake--can't these fucking morons see what has happened and IS STILL HAPPENING.?? Please GO. THE. FUCK. AWAY.

    Once a conservative attempted to bait me, claiming I had insinuated that he was cold and heartless. I told him I didn't think he was heartless, but that conservatives are well known for their stunted sense of humor, and politics without a well developed sense of humor is like an unhealthy infatuation with an inflatable doll. Half the damned country is not going away, even if you ask "Pretty Please".

    Half the damned country supports a lying sack of shit, and calling them a cult or claiming he's a narcissist is flattering them. When democrats or anyone in the damned country shows they have balls, they'll probably start the next civil war. Fuck em all, the guy is a lying sack of shit, and the mass media love him.

    Calling a billionaire a lying sack of shit is taboo in the mass media. Calling half the damned country insane is also taboo, but Donald Duck has inspired many people.

    Except six weeks before the 2020 election when Trump said he was giving Puerto Rico $18 billion and later demanded that Puerto Rico vote for him when they aren't allowed to vote in presidential elections.

    If Donald Duck cannot rig elections in Puerto Rico, he's a lost cause.

    Its Empire baby, and this train ain't stopping until she derails! The more the mass media lies to the public, the more the public demands they lie more often. They just organize like chickens, which means no matter what kind of AI the Pentagon can cook up, they're cheap and easy to exploit. One thing you can't hide, is when you're crippled online. It makes the idiots indistinguishable from a mindless bot.

    The Capitol riot is one of the results which happened after the U.S. voting public collectively rejected Trump.

    Another example is the violent, pro-Trump riot at the state capitol in Oregon in December 2020 where state legislator Rep. Mike Nearman (arrested months later) intentionally let rioters into the building.

    Like the psychologist in the video stated, the narcissists will come at you with guns blazing.

    Still another result is a post-election, year-long, Trump-led propagation of lies about the 2020 election that spilled into state and local governments, causing election-related officials to receive death threats from Trump supporters. It provided a backdrop for GOP legislators to pass voting restriction legislation and to embark on a campaign to try to infiltrate election-sensitive government positions with fringe Trump supporters who will compromise election security and not certify valid results they do not like, such as the behavior of Palmer in MI, Peters in CO, and AG Paxton in TX who (in the name of protecting TX) was suing other states whose 2020 election results he didn't like.

    These problem emanated from Trump. State and local election-related offices didn't have these problems before Trump stirred the mud with his narcissism. The governments are now faced with having to set up layers of security to protect themselves personally and protect the legitimate operations of their offices from radical elements.

    Fox News and the Tea Party have been stirring the mud long before Donald Duck. The GOP shredded our constitution, rigged our elections, destroyed our economy, and trashed the entire executive branch. What did you think they were interested in doing? Selling Girl Scout cookies? Donald Duck is merely the first, and unless you deal with the problem, whoever replaces him could be worse. Calling half the country narcissists and cults is not dealing with the problem, which they are a culture of compulsive fucking liars, who are now only interested in destroying our government. Like I said, half the damned country already fits the definition of a mental illness, they know it, and claim the sun revolves around the earth.

    Trump slump: Ex-president finds his power diminished after endorsing GOP challengers

    excerpt:

    "But recent Federal Elections Commission (FEC) data reveals that the former president’s supposed status as a GOP kingmaker has yet to translate into an overwhelming wave of dollars that his loyalists would hope to follow his endorsement.

    In fact, in every House and Senate race where Mr Trump has taken a side against a sitting incumbent who supported his impeachment, the incumbent remains comfortably ahead of their challengers in fundraising.

    The most glaring example of the former president’s inability to move the fundraising needle to a significant degree is in Wyoming, where Rep Liz Cheney is running for a fourth term in office against Harriet Hageman, one of her own former supporters.

    Ms Cheney is probably Mr Trump’s most-hated Republican in the House, and his endorsement of her challenger was one of the more anticipated moves of the campaign season so far. Despite this, Ms Hageman has taken in just over $300,000 in donations since beginning her campaign nearly two months ago; her current cash-on-hand is dwarfed by Ms Cheney’s massive war chest totaling more than $3 million, a tenfold advantage.

    Ms Hageman’s fundraising haul, while modest compared to Ms Cheney, is likely going to outpace any other candidate in the primary besides the congresswoman, however."

    Polls show a close race for governor in VA.


    Virginia's tight governor's race heats up as Trump teases last-minute rally for Youngkin

    excerpt:

    "Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday appeared to tease that he may head to Virginia ahead of Election Day next Tuesday in the hotly contested and dead even gubernatorial race between former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin.

    "Chanting, "We love Trump" in Arlington, Va. Thank you, Arlington, see you soon!" the former president wrote Wednesday in a statement released by his Save America political organization.

    The former president was referring to chants of "we love Trump" by protestors who briefly interrupted President Biden on Tuesday night as he headlined a large rally for McAuliffe in Arlington, Virginia, in the commonwealth’s heavily Democratic suburbs of Washington D.C."
