Remember, TFG, really stands for the "fake" guy!

That's what he needs to be called out on. Everything about Trump is "fake." His fake "fakeness" about the election, the media, the pandemic, the 2016 election, his fake wealth, his fake "intelligence," his fake patriotism and on and on. We need flags and banners identifying him and his MAGA as FAKE. FAKE patriots.

Yes, it's a "witch hunt" but which hunt is it? There are so many corrupt, dishonest practices by 45

WHICH one to concentrate on is the question. It's "witch" hunt but "which" hunt?

So what did Biden feed the L.A. Champs?

Asking for a friend.

Something I believe is not getting any or enough attention re Trump Co indictments today.

Listening to Rachel on this subject and especially her last guest it occurs to me that perhaps part of this investigation should involve the IRS Inspector General. I feel the same way the Trump's lawyers do, with these kind of obvious an blatant illegalities and corruption, the IRS should have been on this as far back as at least 2015. The only plausible explanation, to me, that 45 had stooges and corrupt entities within the IRS to protect him and his companies.

Congress should be investigating with their oversight authorities why the IRS did nothing about this tax corruption for so many years.

Anybody else think so?

Is it because they don't have the evidence on Trump that he is not being indicted?

I would think they would get more bang for the buck if he and his accountant would be indicted at the same time.

Just putting out there about construction in the 80's.

Greed gripped the nation, white flight to the coastal areas, bought up most of the public accesses to nice beaches, the push against regulations and regulators, cheap steel and watered-down cement, cheap labor, and all kinds of cutting corners ... all because someone told Americans, especially wealthy Americans, they should not have to sacrifice for anyone or anything...

Result: mostly shit-build housing and condos. The townhouse my daughter bought in late 1980's practically fell apart in five years. Shitty drywall, cheap insulation, poly-piping...she had to practically re-build it to sell it. There's that.

Just received a solicitation from AARP to sign a petition to my Congresscritters to protect seniors

and offer more help to them against COVID. I live in Maryland. They will not like the response I send WITHOUT a conation.
In short, I told them to stop wasting time and money trying to get Democrats and blue state officials to support COVID19 vax and safety measures and spend their time and money getting lying Trump and his supporters to vaccinate and wear masks when necessary. They will never get a dime from me until they get their GOP-loving asses busy in fighting the big lie and fighting for a thorough investigation of January 6 insurrection.

According to Fareed, business are moving out of blue states to TX and FL.

They will avoid paying taxes but their workers will turn the states blue. Be careful what you ask for.

Fareed let us Dems have it right between the eyes this morning on his opening.

I think, rightly so. You have only to look at what happened in 2016 and what ushered in the Trump era that does not seem to be going away.

Will we push Biden to the brink and lose what gains we have made so far? If the same ardent progressives that wanted more, better, and faster in 2016 do not get out and vote in higher numbers than in 2020, our future looks really dim. If we don't give in order to get our voting rights legislation passed, infrastructure bills and environmental bills will mean very little for the salvation of democracy as we imagined it. I love our progressive brothers and sisters but they must learn to love us back. Right now it doesn't seem they do.

Here's a thought on the filibuster:

The Dems should all agree to get rid of the filibuster and pass the For the People Act, the Infrastructure bills, and John Lewis Bill. Then return and vote the filibuster back in to protect themselves from 2022. Why can't that be done????

If Biden promises the two holdouts, Cinema and Manchin that it will go back as soon as the three major pieces of legislation are passed, would they go for it...with some modifications to the HR1?
