“In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon,”
which ideas...this looks suspiciously like one of those gotcha quotes out of context. The ones propagandists are famous for.

The left generally opposes fracking because of its environment impact. It has little if anything to do with gas prices.
So this should have been a slam dunk decision for Kamala...oh wait...

Presidents have very little if anything to do with gas prices.
If that's the case, the the far left wouldn't be so batshit crazy over Kamala refusing to ban fracking. And Kamala wouldn't have made that flip-flopping political choice.
Let me know when you have a serious point to make.
I'm not very good at the kinds of demagoguery and political partisan hackery you require to classify as a "serious point"

So then you are saying it's weird to count kids that can't select that power. If that policy was reversed, you would have less representation in the anti-cat lady populations. (pro family with lots of kids)
Slave owners and maga moms shouldn't get extra representatives.
If the 1800 Republicans demanded 3/5 of the slaves get to vote, the Democrats would never have agreed to the extra representation.

He said parents should be able to vote multiple times, once for themselves and once for each child. He said that people without children have no stake in the future of the country and therefore can't be trusted to be leaders.
I think the right argues that since children are counted in the census for representation, their interests should also be directly represented in elections. Parents voting on behalf of their children could help ensure that policies affecting children are given due consideration. Kind of like when slave owners got extra representation. Either allow parents to vote, or stop counting kids. Same with illegal invaders. Let them vote, or stop counting them.
Children will inherit the future shaped by today's policies. Allowing parents to vote on their behalf ensures that decisions that the children will have to pay for are made with long-term considerations for the future welfare of those children.
It's a hell of a lot easier for a cat lady to vote for global war when she, nor anyone she knows, will have to fight it.

It's on MSNBC, I'll scrounge around for a clip.
For example, he is super Pro-Israel and that is quite toxic given that Israel is carrying out a genocide at the moment.
That's always gonna be a problem as long as Harris is tied in to Biden's policies with Israel.
If she loses Pennsylvania, it won't matter whether or not she can lock down the Somali and Muslim vote. (which is still not a slam dunk)

You and MSNBC don't care that he has 20 fascist points. Why should anyone care at this point.

Turns out when no one leaves their house gas prices go down. Who knew?
Are you saying we need to go hide in our houses to get prices back down to where people could afford things?
Oh of course not, because gas was around that price before covid....
I'll just let Chat GPT own you as well.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the economy and oil markets, the average price of gasoline in the United States in early 2020 (specifically January and February) was around $2.50 to $2.60 per gallon.

Welcome to the race, Tim Walz! Let’s make sure America knows who you are.
You helped ignite the George Floyd riots, the worst the country had seen in decades. While Minneapolis burned, you stalled on deploying the National Guard for an entire day, blaming the city for not submitting the right paperwork. You let your daughter leak the Guard's deployment plans online, so that rioters would know how long they had to loot the city with impunity. Minneapolis is a war zone because of you. Just days after the attempted murder of Donald Trump, you called him and his supporters "fascists," egging on the same rhetoric that led to him being shot in the first place. You have overseen some of the most radical youth trans surgery laws in the country. Under your leadership teenagers can get their breast chopped off and get sterilized, and your government calls it “healthcare. ”You have the most radical abortion laws in the country. Zero limits. Every year 5-6 babies are BORN ALIVE and then murdered “legally” under laws you support. On immigration, you famously said you wanted to provide a “ladder” so invaders can come over Trump’s wall. You are a radical open border zealot. You oversaw the single worst fraud of the Covid era, the Feeding Our Future case. Thanks to ineptitude at your Department of Education, criminals stole $250 million of taxpayer dollars to spend on luxury cars, houses, and vacations. Also during Covid, you approved $500 million in "hero pay" for frontline workers, only to have 40% of that money go to people who were ineligible or, in many cases, literally deceased. In the House, you were Pelosi’s sidekick and did whatever the Democrats demanded. You will try and disguise yourself as a folksy midwestern moderate. In reality, you are a white male version of Kamala Harris. Radical. Inept. Undeserving to be in leadership.

In late 2020, around the time when President Donald Trump was leaving office, the average price of gasoline in the United States was approximately $2.25 per gallon. This figure can vary slightly based on specific dates and regions. The price of gas had fluctuated throughout the year due to various factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted global oil demand and prices.
Created:
Gas is the same now as it was under Trump except for when he crashed the economy and we had 16% unemployment .
so around 2 dollars a gallon.

I lost money 2020, so I learned my lesson. Vote AGAINST anyone who is not part of the perpetuation of the deep state, especially on the Democrat side.
I have won every bet so far except the one on Kamala dropping out. If Kamala stays in, they will have to find a way to remove both Trump and Musk and/or start a nuclear war using Iran as a proxy.

Are you talking about in public or in court?
Lol, like it matters. If publicly calling someone a liar was actually in the law, you wouldn't be alive.
the truth which was the judgement of the jury.
You can say the court was rigged in America.
In 1997, Barbara Streisand sued Peter Rader, the author of her unauthorized biography, claiming defamation among other charges. One of her claims was based on being called a "liar."
Outcome: Streisand ultimately lost the case. The court found that some of the statements in the book were protected opinions rather than defamatory statements of fact.
John Paulsen, a former lawyer for Tyco International, sued The New York Times for defamation after an article referred to him as "a liar" in connection with his testimony in a trial.
Outcome: The case was dismissed. The court found that the statement was a protected opinion and that it was not made with actual malice.
David Hasselhoff sued the National Enquirer for defamation after the tabloid published a story suggesting he was a liar and drunkard.
Outcome: Hasselhoff lost the case. The court found that the statements were not made with actual malice, and the publication's defenses held under the scrutiny of free speech protections.
Actor Johnny Depp sued The Sun newspaper for defamation after it published an article calling him a "wife-beater," effectively labeling him a liar regarding his denials of abuse.
Outcome: Depp lost the case. The court found that the newspaper's allegations were substantially true, thus dismissing the defamation claim.
Jose Canseco, a former MLB player, sued Major League Baseball for defamation after being labeled a liar regarding his claims about steroid use in baseball.
Outcome: Canseco lost the case. The court ruled that the statements made by MLB were protected opinions and that Canseco did not provide sufficient evidence of falsehood or harm.

@WyIted
Let's lay the case if the country were to suddenly be governed by the public.
Decision-making requires specialized knowledge and expertise that the general public does not possess. Complex issues such as economic policy, international relations, and healthcare need informed and educated decisions.
The public will prioritize short-term benefits over long-term planning, leading to policies that are popular in the moment but detrimental in the long run.
Public decision-making leads to populism, where leaders and policies cater to popular desires without regard for practical or ethical considerations. This will result in unsustainable and/or harmful policies.
The public has been proven to be easily swayed by misinformation, propaganda, and emotional appeals. Foreign special interest groups and media not associated with the oligarchy will manipulate public opinion to serve their own agendas.
Decision-making by the general public is slow and inefficient, as reaching a consensus among large groups is unnecessarily time-consuming.
Diverse opinions, tribalism, and interests within the public can lead to polarization and social conflict, making it difficult to achieve coherent and unified policies.
When decisions are made collectively by the public, it is impossible to hold specific individuals accountable for poor outcomes or mistakes.
Public decision-making results in oversimplified and ineffective policies due to a lack of understanding of reality.
Economic decisions made by the public will lead to instability if they are based on populist demands rather than sound economic principles, such as excessive spending, 100 dollar minimum wage, immigration control, and/or protectionist policies.
Public opinions fluctuate rapidly, leading to inconsistent and unpredictable policies. This volatility creates uncertainty in the stock market, making it impossible for Pelosi to reliably pay her bills.
For all these reasons, you must vote for who the oligarchs say.
