Now is the perfect time to come out for legal recreational pot..

Pot is popular across most political spectrums.

It will bring in younger voters.

Many states will be decided by a handful of votes, meaning that small issues, like pot could tip elections.

Issues like these put the Democratic Party IN TOUCH with voters. Issues like these lure in voters that otherwise wouldn't give a SHIT about voting.

Give young voters a reason to turn out.

Make our party attractive to young voters.

And we will win in November.

Biden can win on these issues.

What more must Putin do to cross that threshhold..

of using chemical nerve agents to assassinate political opponents?

Isn't that tactic banned by the Geneva Convention?

When will Putin be indicted?

When will the world stand up to that shitbag and imprison him for life?

I wonder, will Trump resort to the same tactics?

Another ugly day for stocks, as Nasdaq tumbles

Source: CNN Business

It's another rough day on Wall Street, as the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is tumbling once again.

The market rout that started last week — and included the worst day for stocks since June — is clearly not over.

Several factors are weighing on investors' appetite for risky bets: worries about a resurgence of Covid-19 infections in the cooler winter months and the knock-on effect of the economic recovery, uncertainty surrounding the November presidential election and renewed US-China tensions. President Donald Trump said Monday that he wasn't "happy at all" with China and spoke about an economic "decoupling."

All three major stock indexes are sharply in the red at the start of the shortened Labor Day trading week, but they have bounced back from their session lows.

Sep-Oct are typically when market crashes occur. Not quite sure if this is the start of a crashing market or if it is just a correction..

As of this post..

Dow down 560

Nasdaq down 408

Nasdaq is getting battered as tech seems to be in a free fall.

If Biden wins and he accomplishes this one thing, I'd consider his presidency a major success.

Indict Trump for his numerous crimes.

Make an example. Throw the fucking book at the orange turd.

Send Trump to prison for the next 10 lifetimes.

Its been said before on DU, but I like the idea of creating an investigative panel of numerous criminal investigators with the sole purpose of bringing indictments to the Trump family of criminals. A large panel of numerous special prosecutors, because it will take an army of prosecutors to fully uncover the crimes of one of human history's most notorious criminal elected officials ever.

Indict the orange turd.

Indict Ivanka.

Indict Eric.

Indict Don jr.

Indict Kushnar.

Indict Barr.

Indict the numerous others that enabled, aided and abetted the most criminal regime in American history.

Again, make an example of Trump so that future politicians will see what happens when laws are broken on a fucking daily basis.

If elected: Joe, if you accomplish this feat, history will forever speak glowingly of your presidency.

That's a legacy I can forever stand behind!

Missing in action: Trump's bone spurs. Bone spurs don't just vanish.

Trump used his father's wealth to buy his way out of being drafted by claiming bone spurs.

He dodged the draft, not because he was opposed to war but because he didn't want to be drafted into war.

He used his wealth and privilege to dodge the draft.

He calls those who paid the ultimate price, with their lives, losers.

If Trump is going to call war dead losers, then show us your bone spurs, Mr President.

Or show us the medical records that prove you had them surgically removed.

Show us these bone spurs that are missing in action.

Trump's plan to kill Social Security by 2023 opens a door to valuable swing votes.

Death by de-funding.

Wipe out Social Security by making it insolvent. Bankrupt it. The GOP's plan for the past 80+ years.

Social Security is one of the most successful retirement financial security plans in HUMAN HISTORY.

Other nations have modeled their retirement security plans off of SS.

Which is why the GOP has spent the past 80+ years trying to kill it.

Trump is actively working to gut and kill SS.

Regarding voters that actually show up to vote, the elderly are typically the most reliable.

Democrats, campaign on the fact that Trump is secretly trying to kill SS by de-funding it into bankruptcy.

Our party will be rewarded with votes.

We're talking about bringing in the 5-10% of votes required to swing elections our way.

Win it with Social Security by telling the truth.

Stroke induced psychosis..

might explain Trump's erratic behavior.

His small brain has shrunk, even more.

Scary orange lunatic.

To Joe, take notice.

Campaign on Trump's stroke induced psychotic behavior.

Psychotic Don is a perfect answer to the Sleepy Joe nickname given by Trump to Biden.

Call him, Psychotic Don.

Universal basic income will get the poor and young voters to the polls and elect Joe and Kamala.

Kamala Harris has hinted at supporting making the $1200 stimulus check a monthly thing. My details are kind of sketchy. But based on articles I've read, it sounded to me like she supports making it a permanent thing at least for awhile, what that means is up in the air.

But at least she's talking about it.

Kamala is on to something here.

The need for a universal basic income has become glaringly clear in this pandemic.

It can save our country from economic collapse.

It can help our people weather the storm.

I believe Joe would support Kamala's idea as well.

To Joe and Kamala, champion this. Campaign on it and we will elect you.

Take it to the bank.

Peace.

House passes an additional $25 billion for Postal Service as Trump tweets opposition

Source: USA Today.

WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives passed legislation Saturday to prevent any further changes at the United States Postal Service and to provide $25 billion in funding ahead of an expected surge in mail-in ballots in the November election.

The bill faces an uncertain future in the Republican-led Senate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told the Louisville Courier-Journal Tuesday he was doubtful a bill only addressing the Postal Service could pass the Senate.

President Donald Trump, in a Saturday tweet, called the controversy over the Postal Service a "hoax" and told Republican lawmakers to vote against it, but over two dozen House Republicans joined all Democrats in voting for the bill. It passed by a 257-150 vote.

I hope this will pass the Senate. At least it puts Mcturtle in a bind.
