I don't quite frame it the way you do. I see it as a major lefty, hippie viewpoint, not so much democrat. The thing with democrats(politicians) today though is they fall in line with anything that gets them votes, money or power. Dems don't even give a crap about man made climate change. I don't see republicans doing much of anything about it. Why would they? The same power the dems grab is the same power they will have. I think what got this ball rolling were a bunch of 'experts' that needed their funding extended convinced some dipshit named Gore and he fell for it hook line and sinker. If you watched his presentation it definitely was convincing. Except, not a single thing he said or fear mongered came true. Why would the repubs be on the defensive over something they don't care about either? They're just the same as the dems; votes, money and power. It's like somebody already said, Kennedy says a lot of good things and is entertaining, but his votes don't back up his words. Not many if any are looking out for us or what's best for the environment. Look how the FDA and our gov't handled the opioid epidemic. The teflon case, heck East Palestine. A major toxic chemical spill and the only people showing up were politicians grabbing a photo op. What did any of them do with the national guard and fema and everything at their disposal to help? They don't care and they're inept. I don't think this crap is smoke and mirrors. Just look at toilets, they reduce the amount of water they flush, and it keeps going down. It's not progress or helping the environment. Now they want to restrict washers. I don't know, I'm not seeing your point exactly though I'm trying. Let's say you're right if I'm understanding you correctly, why lie or play games with repubs? Why do we allow this from people that need to be honest and open? Why isn't running on your merit or the facts enough?

The problem here is that man made climate change is a money/power grab. The problem is that politicians will use for excuses to tax more and make more regulations that don't affect what they will lie about. Any normal person cares about protecting the environment, but it's not the same as pretending man made climate change exists they way politicians portray it. How are conservatives not for nature? Not talking about politicians.

Criminals

How can anyone be dumber than him lol🤣

I could post thousands of links to career, even violent criminals being released to commit more crimes over and over. So much for minorities not getting a break. How many illegals have been set free after being detained for crimes when they should have been deported for just being here? Hell they even raised the limit you could steal before being charged for a felony. They targeted Trump, even adjusted a law to do so. Think about all the time and money wasted worrying about Trump, if only they had so much conviction for real criminals.

Almost as bad as calling everything racist huh?

Here we go with the woke racist garbage. Brain dead. It's one thing not being able to afford better or the best lawyer, whether you're white or black, but it's another for judges and prosecutors to go after Trump strictly because of their political background and hatred for Trump. If you want to lie and pretend to be ignorant, have at it. Oh, republicans aren't the only rich ones in politics, in fact, you don't even have to be white or male to be rich. Oh, never mind the fact that men in divorce court have been crying about bias forever. I don't think you ever say anything that has a tinge of honesty. While you're pointing fingers and virtue signaling about minorities, lefties are doing some crying themselves about the unfair justice system. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/04/12/trump-trial-special-treatment-justice-system-00151814 Trump supporters surely bristle at the notion that he’s getting any preferential treatment. After all, he is facing dozens of felony counts across four criminal cases, and a series of massive civil judgments has damaged his reputation and his wealth. But the fact is that no other person in America — if charged with the diverse panoply of malfeasance that Trump has been accused of — would enjoy the same procedural and structural advantages that Trump has harnessed, to great effect, as his legal troubles reached a fever pitch over the past 12 months. There may be good reasons for some of those advantages. A former president and current candidate is no ordinary criminal defendant. But special treatment carries a hefty price: It shatters the American lore that everyone is treated equally before the law. The result, ironically, is a partial confirmation of one of Trump’s favorite grievances. He’s enmeshed in a “two-tiered system of justice,” he often says — and he’s right. There are two tiers. But Trump frequently has been the beneficiary, not the victim.

I'd throw in threatening students as well, they should be expelled from college.

All they do is pander to voting blocks, whatever you want to hear. No shame even when they are fear mongering. Dems and Repubs.

This would be fine or partially excusable IF they were doing anything to secure our own border.

And they all stick up for one another. It all comes down to whatever lines their pocket, all of them.

They also used to monitor each others porn intake?? This is why I stopped caring about politics a long time ago. Everyone is pretty much a dirtbag and corrupt. Best to ignore it and go do things you enjoy.

Gas is up to $3.72 around here FJB

I wonder where all the money went the first time to house the homeless?

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/23/politics/sidney-powell-disciplinary-action-tossed/index.html A Texas judge on Thursday dismissed the petition brought by State Bar of Texas’ Commission for Lawyer Discipline alleging that attorney Sidney Powell had violated legal ethics rules with her work on former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election reversal gambits. CNN sounds bitter as they try to lead readers into what to think about the decision lol. As CNN previously reported, those who have sought disciplinary responses for Trump’s legal allies say the post-election conduct crossed ethical lines into the realm of professional misconduct – and that the tactics were well outside the normal bounds of legal challenges to election procedures. - cnn But she was cleared and vindicated on all charges, go figure cnn. Should have read: Powell fully vindicated after Bidens presidency over extended it's powers to politically prosecute and persecute any opposition, using the corrupt justice system to punish Trump supporters by any means necessary. Wasting taxpayers time and money all the while dodging the truth.
