Can anyone explain what "generational trauma" is?

3 guesses as to why the FBI and MSM didn't want to release the manifesto.

Just thought I would appeal to Republicans by using an authority figure that all Republicans respect.

This will surely work.

Takeaways:

1) The Ukraine war has cost every USA household an average of 900 dollars.

2) Most polled Americans say we are sending way too much to Ukraine.

3) Peace talks are happening now without Zelensky's input as little progress is made on the counteroffensive.

4) Russians are not getting pushed out of the Donbas.

5) Neocons stand by the investment in weapons suppliers as an investment in America.

Quick rundown.

1) Adams planned a trip to the WH to publicly ask Biden for relief funds to help with Biden's migrant invasion.

2) Biden takes a page out of the DOJ weaponization playbook and shakes the Mayor down.

3) Mayor then cancels the trip.

Gotta love these turf wars between fellow Democrats.

Joe Biden, famous for being the son of a used car salesman, has lost massive support within his own party as Israel shells refugee camps full of Palestine civilians.

His current policy plan is to reward Israel with billions and also station American troops in the Gaza strip.

This will probably go down as a worse blunder than Afghanistan, and there's no blaming Trump out of this one for poor old Joe.

Just when the Trump haters thought they had no hate left to give, it seems there's plenty to go around. Joe Biden being the main recipient lately.

Seems like Joe forgot to protect minorities again.

This is ironically going to seal the deal for Joe, no more trips and falls needed at this point.

Chief Joseph announced his surrender with the following poignant words.

I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed....The old men are all dead....It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of whom have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are--perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.

One can only imagine the garbage Trump and his MAGA nativist tribe will say when they are all replaced with brown people from every other nation on the globe, replacing all Americans of every skin color.

Karma? Or just desserts!

Ty for this entertainment California.

The current salary for a US congressman is around $175,000 dollars. Each Representative represents close to a million people. The average salary of a CEO at a fortune 500 company is 16.7 million dollars.

I propose to raise the salary of Congress to 20 million dollars a year with the provision that they must have term limits.  The President will have a salary of 50 million. I base this off of the 400 million dollars Barack Obama accumulated from kickbacks during his 8 years as president.

Here are the reasons:

1) It would be a very small part of the national budget. 10 Billion dollars a year for the salary of Congress is definitely doable.

2) It would make it much harder for a lobbyist to purchase a politician.

3) It would attract much more competition and a higher quality of candidates for the job.

Pool discusses the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, highlighting the divisive nature of the issue. He mentions the polarization and shifting alliances within the culture war, with former allies becoming enemies. Pool criticizes the left for supporting Palestine without fully understanding the situation on the ground, particularly the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the region. He also touches on the Anti-Defamation League's refusal to call out Black Lives Matter despite concerns over statements by its founders. Pool argues that both the left and right are deeply entrenched in their positions on the Israel-Palestine conflict with no room for nuance. Pool expresses his frustration with individuals on both sides who are pushing for censorship, intervention, or taking extreme positions based on little information or heavily modified narratives. He emphasizes that war is a terrible and complex issue, with no easy solutions.

Full summary of the entire conflict and ongoing scam.

When asked on advice for the incoming speaker, old Joe laid out this gem. For a sitting president with such currently ridiculously low approval ratings, this performance, or lack of, doesn't seem to improve his future prospects.

Here are the top comments on Biden's quips:

1) My grocery bill, just like my gas bill, has nearly DOUBLED in the past three years. This president is INSANE.

2) I still can't get over him creating Trump's campaign slogan. Trump, because Bidenomics.

3) Now it's Trump's fault we don't have a wall, that is the new grift. (Biden is now bragging about finishing Trump's wall)

4) Damn, this is so embarrassing for our country. I'm torn between laughter and tears. When America is in chaos, the world becomes chaos...

5) "That's above my pay grade." I'm sure that his handlers would agree with that statement, even though it shouldn't be.

Because California is one of the most one-party states in the country, the purpose of defying the far-left State Congress can only mean one thing: A serious presidential run.

We have such a lack of professional integrity in this country. She’s clearly lying through her teeth.

This WAPO “journalist” needs to start getting sued for defamation. It’s time to pay for malicious journalism and bad practices. Btw I don’t even like Portnoy but it’s just crazy what is happening now.

People who use words like misogynistic, xenophobic, etc. on a daily basis and in real life, are insane.

A politician needs to draft a bill outlawing "canceling" people because it has gotten way out of control. It should be illegal to do what these "activist journalists" are doing. Intimidating advertisers should be illegal.

It's no secret here that I hate Trump, and to that end, I generally avoid talking about him because that tends to suck the oxygen out of all rational discussion about politics and the scrutiny of all other politicians. Not to mention it's also a total waste of time.

My question to you guys is thus: what is the basis of the dopamine rush for continuing the 7 straight years of TDS analysis; and how do you think it affects the country when no other politician is given any notable discussion time?

What is it that gives you that cerebral high that justifies the apathy of all else, and thus, the atrophy of everything else political?

Specifically, I want to hear from the major TDS users on this site.

I have never posted anything personal, to any depth, on this site.

I think, I will make an exception today.

I work with a lot of troubled teens yearly, mostly with great success, and little tragedy.

2 days ago, a troubled 20 year old, my roommate's cousin, who used to visit us daily for support, battling alcohol, died tragically in a car accident.

This really hit me hard, and I grieve for the loss in this world of a young person who never got a second chance due to cruel fate.

If anyone wants to leave a supporting comment, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

CNN Anchor CALLED OUT For Trying To Use Dead Black Victims To Push Liberal White Supremacy Narrative

Vivek calls out host for dodging the issues that matter to everyone, condemning characterizations based on race. And politicizing people based on their race.

This is almost the same take as his Chuck Todd interview on MSNBC.

Does Vivek still have a valid point? What do you guys think?

This is not a right, vs left issue. This is a symptom of the lack of leadership unifying the nation on principles beyond our physical characteristics.

The video shows a clip of Biden nodding off during a Maui victim meeting, which includes children.

This on top of the delayed response (Biden vacationing and refusing to talk to journalists) and also making sure no tragedy goes to waste by tying in bloated Ukraine funding to the Maui funds, will this be a significant issue for Biden? Or can the crony corporate media partners in the government successfully spin this away yet again?

Pool discusses a series of incidents in sunny funny California where groups of people are looting luxury stores, causing significant damage and stealing valuable items. These actions are actually a symptom of larger cultural and societal problems in cities, not just a law and order issue. Democrat Cities have become less cohesive, with people not connecting or communicating with each other as they used to. This decline in cultural cohesion comes from internet detachment and a lack of local community engagement. This trend is likely to worsen and these events are leading to the creation of wild conspiracy theories and mistrust in authoritative institutions. The chaos is an intentional result of societal decay, and the only sure immediate refuge is a rural lifestyle. You should be skeptical about the effectiveness of urban law enforcement, and there are few deniers that cities are becoming less desirable places to live due to various preventable factors.

Turley talks about how the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump could end up causing major problems for President Joe Biden. Even though Trump's charges are related to the 2020 election, they could have an unexpected impact on Biden. Turley points out that the indictment against Trump is based on limited new evidence and shaky legal grounds. It's about trying to make what Trump said into a crime, even though it is likely to be protected by the First Amendment. If Biden views this as personal, he might be onto something, as these legal tactics will probably also be used against him. The way Trump's words led others to act could also be used against Biden own words doing the same, especially in an impeachment inquiry by Republicans in the House of Representatives. Biden has been accused of disregarding the Constitution, such as pushing unconstitutional measures and allegedly lying about his knowledge of his son's overseas business deals. There is quite the irony that the legal standards being used against Trump could also be used against Biden, and that could make things very problematic for him.

Do you guys think a can of worms has been opened here?

GOP has to 'be the party of free speech and open debate’

Vivek addresses far left Chuck Todd's concerns during this interview.

here are some of Vivek's points:

1) We need to act with compassion for others and stop doing things that just make us feel good about ourselves through virtue signaling.

2) Free speech and open debate are essential to a functioning Democracy.

3) We need a need a new institution to replace the FBI. One that respects the law instead of engaging in malfeasance for political reasons.

Here are some of the top comments from Chuck Todd's audience, which are mostly Democrats:

On the issue of gender, I totally support his views... and I'm not a republican

I am very impressed by this guy! He definitely knows how to debate on principles and not back down.

Ramaswamy schooled Chuck Todd on the trans issue. This guy can think on his feet. I'd like to see more of him.

As a democrat I like this guy, not on everything, but he represents what’s needed

I'd vote for him.....we need change. We need new energy and rational thinking in DC......

first politician I've heard tackle these issues with a compassionate, yet firm stance that makes complete sense.

Dude hit on the mark with the gender issues. People have lost their minds over this issue.

So embarrassed that the topics that Ramaswamy has to answer questions about are even part of the political conversation. I want to hear Ramaswamy talk about the economy, higher education issues, healthcare etc. those questions are never asked by the left!

This man can unite our country I feel it.

“A person reading the crimes of conviction in this case would be left with the impression that the offending defendants were sophisticated international terrorists committed to jihad against the United States,” Judge McMahon wrote. “However, they were, in actual reality, hapless, easily manipulated and penurious petty criminals.”

RFK has spoken to his peoples. Clearly, this is pure evil.

Agree?

Sociologist E. Digby Baltzell wrote decades ago, “History is a graveyard of classes which have preferred caste privileges to leadership.” That is the destiny the elite class is now flirting with. We can condemn the Trumpian populists all day until the cows come home, but the real question is when will the elites stop behaving in ways that make Trumpism inevitable?

Lets take a look, shall we?

This video is a discussion about the recent indictment involving former President Donald Trump. The indictment accuses him of various crimes related to how he challenged the results of the 2020 election. The indictment, on its face, seems weak and politically motivated, and we should raise questions asking if there's enough evidence to charge AND convict him with serious crimes.

Many people who protested the election were charged with felonies, even if they didn't engage in violence. Other protesters in different situations were not charged with felonies unless they caused harm through violence. This seeming violation of the exercise of the first amendment is unfair and should raise questions about the way Trump is being treated.

I believe the indictment is questionable, and I feel it's important to have strong evidence before charging someone with serious crimes; especially if that person is in the middle of a democratic election. I think we should consider whether there's a fair basis for the charges and to avoid bastardizing basic legal matters into overly political demagoguery if only to preserve the integrity of fair treatment and a functioning democracy.
