Her platform was a fuck ton of things including but not limited to increasing the minimum wage to at least 15 bucks an hour, codifying abortion, legalizing weed, introducing a wealth tax and a unrealized gains tax and hire corporate tax, going after companies that engaged in greedflation, being anti monopoly by using the FCC to push for less consolidation, put a cap on rent increases, providing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, more investment in infrastructure, providing first time home buyers down payment assistance that would have helped millions upon millions of people buy houses, and pushing for lower cost to more medications by leveraging Medicare having the ability to negotiate prices. There's more but that's just off the top of my head.

Did she say those things in her commencement speech? Yup. Arguing for the most lethal military was fucking weird but was likely just her trying to take away that talking point from the right as opposed to anything being mirrored in her actual platform. Still fucking weird though.

The border bill was not a slight variation from what's currently in place unless you consider billions upon billions of dollars making ice the larger than tons of other departments, then yes those billions upon billions were a slight variation. The actual bipartisan bill included far more funding for actually working towards continuing to crack down on drug smuggling by having detection machines at ports, as opposed to just grabbing randoms off the street or at illegal crossings like the BBB.

AI also isn't going anywhere so I don't see why saying she wanted us to lead the field is a bad thing (especially since that would likely come with a lot of regulation under her as opposed to none under Trump and a desire for a full moratorium on passing any AI regulation for 10 year), nor with going to space which likely would have come with actually increasing NASAs budget as opposed to almost eliminating it entirely under Trump. Don't see how either of those are both inherently pro regime change and pro corporations and monopolies.

Almost nothing you've said is talking about embracing Liz Cheney's platform either, Liz is against regulation, Harris was for it. Liz is against higher taxes for the rich and corporations, Harris was for it. Liz is against abortion, Harris was for it, Liz is against the minimum wage increase, Harris was for it. They only seemed to line up on having a strong military and passing a immigration bill that wasn't the best but was also all they could do with Republicans in control of Congress and was a compromise and likely would have been renegotiated if she had come into office with a democratic congress. That's two things of so so many.

Also, to say that Harris was only running on not being Trump is far right propaganda and absolutely BS. She had multiple interviews about her policies, she had a whole policy page on her site, she talked incessantly about policy during the election and what she'd implement, the DNC had a policy platform that she was running on. She had a platform, it was largely positive, to say otherwise is to disregard reality.

Wouldn't rehabilitating him mean they're saying "actually Dick was a really good guy and did a lot of good"? Or to do what they did with W. by making him much more human by talking about his art and his friendship with Michelle Obama?

If you mean embrace as in campaign with him, that never happened. If you mean tout his endorsement as a way of showing just how crazy trump was, yeah that happened.

She did campaign with Liz Cheney which was dumb but it wasn't as a "we agree on everything and have the same platform" it was all about how she disagreed on almost everything except how bad trump is. So they campaigned. It was dumb but to say they agreed is dumb when they literally talked about how they didn't in the handful of campaign stops they did together.

I also don't know what you mean by embracing his platform? Regime change? Didn't embrace. Cutting taxes for the rich? Didn't embrace. Pro corporations and monopolies? Didn't embrace.

The only argument I could see is immigration and that's a dumb campaign decision they made to say she would sign the bipartisan agreement made in the senate that Trump killed so he could campaign on the border. She also talked about pathways to citizenship which trump didn't.

It was insane to campaign with Liz but she didn't embrace her platform at all.

Is it rehabilitating Cheney just to basically say "look at how bad Trump is, even Dick Cheney thinks you should not vote for him and vote for us."?

I'd imagine a lot of those people are on food stamps so that'll hopefully impact that disapproval as well. This is pre-losing snap, it'll be interesting to see polls after.

About 25 years late with this article. Roberts betrayed America for George W. Bush when he argued before the supreme court that Bush won despite being behind (or about to be behind as votes were still being counted and gore had the momentum, can't remember) at the, at the time, current vote total. Bush rewarded him with the position of Chief Justice. Fuck him. He's a large part of why we are here.

In fall 2022, ahead of the midterm elections, Garland opted to freeze both the classified documents and election investigations because of what some officials believed was his overly cautious reading of a DOJ policy not to take any public action close to an election.

So fucking fun how this always applies to investigations into Republicans but never into Democrats. We couldn't possibly be investigating a Republican who isn't even on the ballot within 60 days of an election but we absolutely can send a letter to congressional Republicans about new emails being discovered in the Hilary Clinton investigation a mere 2 weeks before the election despite willfully knowing it would be leaked.

I genuinely believe that Garland, a known Republican, voted for Trump in 2020 and was upset he didn't win and knew he was going to be the candidate again so didn't want to put the fucker in prison. Then went and voted for Trump in 2024.

Fucker should have been fired.

I'll always remember on here when, during the election, I was talking about how bad Project 2025 was and how terrifying it was. I then had several folks say simultaneously that Project 2025 was nothing to be afraid of (was a boogeyman that they wanted me to be afraid of) and that Biden had already actually implemented about 80% of it. Crazy stuff.

Project 2025 was always Trump's plan and I wish the media, and people like the commenters I mentioned, would have done better at understanding how bad it was and how his supposed distancing was all fucking BS.

Tucker has claimed multiple times at least since last year that Pete is actually straight. All because of his Gay Producer seemingly being the decider of who is and isn't gay. I wouldn't be surprised if either the Producer is just pulling it out of his ass, or he heard Pete might have dated women before coming out in 2015 so just assumes that means he couldn't be gay. Cause obviously there's no such thing as being in denial. That Producer might be experiencing a real Gold Star Lesbian thought process.

Either way, Tucker only knows anything about sex as a gay person because he's had sex with that demon (obviously an incubus) that supposedly scratched him last year. They were love scratches.

Tucker is a Demon Fucker. Pass it on.

Andrew Cuomo also happens to have an Andrew Cuomo problem.

Good

And they'll still reelect him next year.
