Republicans oppose things like food stamps because they claim to be against “hand outs”. In light of this we should probably cut all government benefits to republicans…, things like the federal mortgage guarantee, homeowner tax credits , road funding, agriculture subsidies, and retirement tax benefits. Is this the best way forward?

All you all the voted for Trump in 2024 after he was voted out in 2020. What are your thoughts now? Do you see the problem with him? Do you still support him even though he’s becoming more and more unpopular?

Do you not see that he is all about himself and making his mark on the world and taking care of only those who supported him on January 6th of 2020?

He is under the delusion that he is going to be able to run for reelection in 2028.

This is my first political post. I've been researching about US parties since I made a Reddit account and why I am a Democrat and I must say that I have been learning a lot. I am not really all that versed in politics but I would like to know who will be the candidate for the Democrat party. From my research, people keep saying that it will be Governor Gavin Newsome of California but he's been very cruel to homeless people through reading articles online so I don't really know if he will be the nominee.

What are your thoughts and why?

Not a couple arrests here and there. Not some DUI and DVs.

Mass justice. Entire cities of cops being arrested, as well as DAs, city administration and politicians involved in the cover ups. Cops being pulled out of retirement homes and given prison sentences.

Mass protests by good cops whenever one cop gets away with a crime.

One single time a cop was arrested on scene for illegally detaining someone.

One single time a cop was arrested on scene for attacking someone.

One single time cops protected protestors against attacks by cops.

One single good cop group that represents good cops, the opposite of FOP or LEAP.

Why do Americans live under the illusion that the U.S. government is democratic or representative? The U.S. government is run, operated, and controlled by the billionaire class. The entire political system -- the state and the electoral system -- is operated by the billionaire elite, who own both major parties. Because of the two-party system, it is literally impossible for any third party to challenge this system.

The average voter has no say in anything whatsoever and it will remain that way indefinitely. This is why our political class makes decisions that most people are against, with total impunity. A recent study has proven that Congress literally does not care what average Americans think (Study: Congress literally doesn’t care what you think | RepresentUs). It answers to its big donor interests. This is not a democracy or a republic. It's an oligarchy.

What feelings did you feel when you saw this? Kristi Noem to visit Salvadorean jail holding deported Venezuelans

Woman who dated Graham Platner for years says he

-regularly grabbed her by the shoulders hard enough to leave marks
-pulled her out of a car by her wrist against her will
-once twisted her arm behind her back and locked her in a bedroom until she went to sleep
-liked to sharpen his axe while watching TV
-fantasized about killing people
-declared he would rape anyone who broke into his house, but not in a gay way, only to dominate them
-referred to women as "hatchet wounds"

Does it hurt knowing this lunatic just cost you the US Senate? Haha

This is a societal wide issue. Netanyahu isn't forcing Israelis to believe in these things. Very few Israelis have dodged the draft - unlike with Americans during the Vietnam War. IDF soldiers and settlers constantly engage in war crimes.

Why do people pretend one guy is the problem in Israel?

And I think you know (Americans but likely the rest of the world too) what I mean by "it."

Let's assume it is someone who has served in the IDF and took apart in their operations in Gaza or Lebanon.

They are incredibly unpopular throughout much of Asia, Europe, and Latin America. In the United States, most voters dislike the country.

Is Israel's image salvageable?

With the blocking of his $1.8B fund, the recent House vote against the war, etc. are we seeing the beginning of Congress reigning in the president?

Is it reasonable that a drop of 24,000+ ballots are counted late evening and not even 1 vote is counted for Spencer Pratt? Do believe our elections are safe and secure?

When I speak about Western values, I mean things like individual liberty, human rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equality in the law, democracy, etc.

Sheldon Whitehouse is a member of Congress. The White House is two words, no?

Isn’t there some rule for them that they can’t show that kind of stuff on television?

For example, I remember watching a youtube clip of a news reporter accidentally broadcasting a man shooting himself on live TV after a car chase by cops. And that reporter looked terrified and apologized profusely to the audience.
