@Beta_Beaker Isn't that a stunning number. It serves to remind us all that huge amounts of money are going to flood into the sector. It has already started.
Correct. But this isn’t a corporate turnaround. This is the United States of America.
I don’t think many people disagree with the need to reduce spending and the deficit. I certainly don’t.
What we don’t know is whose interests the people in charge are acting in.
With a corporate turnaround, everyone knows that all actions are for the benefit of the owner(s)
Who are the owners that are accruing the benefits in this turnaround Christopher ?
And over what time frame ?
And who are those who will be worse off and does anyone care about them ? What challenges will come as a result of moving quickly ?
These are all questions that would be answered in front of a board of directors.
In this case, there are 330m “directors “, most , like me, want to see the country succeed with the “new management “, but they also want some answers to their questions
Isn’t that fair ?
Himes: You have two choices when people on your side do things that are wrong.
You can call them out, you can stand with principle, and you can be clear. That's what leaders do.
Or you can obfuscate and try to change history, try to suggest that what we all saw and experienced, traumatically, wasn't what we all saw and experienced. You can make stuff up, like maybe the F.B.I. Instigated it. Maybe it was really Nancy Pelosi's responsibility. Maybe it was antifa. Oh, gosh, maybe the people who assaulted 140 police officers were just like tourists.
That is not the way of leadership. That is some dark, dark and evil way of proceeding. Why? Because it dishonors the truth on which the stability of this republic relies. And maybe just as importantly it dishonors all of us who were there that day… worst of all, it dishonors the brave men and women who put their lives on the line that day to protect us.
Those of us who put up the signs on our office doors saying, thank you, capitol police. Only to turn around and remain silent when the attackers of the capitol police were pardoned on Monday. These are people who put their lives on the line to protect us and the democracy. I think it's worth spending a minute or two, Mr. Speaker, to remind us who these people were and what happened.
Trump’s former Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, said it best (in 2020): “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us.”
The election is over, the Republicans won, Trump is the President in 2 weeks.
President Carter is being buried today, and a human catastrophe is happening in California.
Why continue the attacks on the Democrats and Biden?
As a Canadian I find this most strange. 🤔
Unprecedented drought, combined with unprecedented winds, caused an unprecedented # of major fires to quickly expand in a dense residential/municipal area. And while people are still fleeing, dying, & losing everything, and while the fires are still raging, he & his followers politicize the tragedy. He & they couldn’t wait. They go on the political attack WHILE PEOPLE ARE STILL FLEEING & DYING AND THE FIRES ARE STILL RAGING.
I know he’s humanly incapable of being better. But his followers are. Shame on them.
In the Pacific Palisades, firefighters depleted 3 massive water reservoirs totaling 3 million gallons of water in mere hours.
And they didn’t make a dent.
But some folks want you to think “If only California Democrats had provided more water!!!”
💩
The propaganda on this platform is ridiculous.
Former President Carter: “Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election and he was put in office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.”
(2019)
Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.
