the republican voters in Mississippi aren’t usually the ones on welfare and they aren’t the ones who need a bailout for their water treatment system either
You seem to think that the only thing that constitutes socialism is welfare. Well I’m here to tell you that is not reality.
Socialism is redistributing money from people and places with high incomes to people and places with low incomes. Blue states have high incomes. Red states have low incomes. So who really benefits from socialism in this country - Blue state Americans or Red state Americans?

The fact is that the overwhelming majority of the people in poverty in that state are democratic voters
That’s bullshit. There are many many, poor ignorant white folks in Mississippi and throughout this country and they vote Republican and they benefit from the higher education and incomes that send them money from the west coast and the Northeast via the federal government.

I completely disagree. “Poor” is relative, poverty is official.
That’s ridiculous . Are you saying we can only determine who is in poverty but we can’t assess other income levels as poor, lower middle class, middle class, etc?

BECAUSE their states have so many people already on the dole.
You are missing the point here. The ones who hate socialism are on the dole! The red states benefit from the socialism we have in this country as much as anyone. When blue states send money to red states because red states don’t have economies that can support the infrastructure they need, that’s socialism. Think Tennessee Valley Authority electricity for poor white folks in Appalachia. A classic example of the Federal government helping a segment of the population by PROMOTING THE GENERAL WELFARE. No one bitched when the government did this because it helped white people. But it’s socialism just as much as food stamps and Obamacare.

Disaster relief isn’t socialism.
No, no. This is not some hurricane. This is a failure to maintain infrastructure. This is definitely not disaster relief. Try again.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation the poverty rate among whites in Mississippi is 11.7%
You know as well as I do that you don’t have to be in poverty to be poor. White people in Mississippi may not meet the Federal government definition of poverty but they are still poor. The median household income there is 46,500 compared to 67,500 for the country.

You’re just shitting on poor people (in this case poor democrats)
I’m shitting on Republicans who say they hate socialism except when it benefits them .
In this country we redistribute money in two ways. We take money from the poor and give it to the wealthy and we take money from blue state Americans and give it to red state Americans. This is terrible because it is mostly rich people and red states that say they are against socialism.

73.4% of Jackson residents voted Democrat in the last presidential election. That's a higher percentage than California. Sounds like money will be going primarily to the benefit of blue voters to me.
The state is red. The state should have to pay for its own water system, not the federal government. This is socialism!

Given the demographic make up of Mississippi, and Jackson in particular, it’s all but certain that the poor voters in that state are overwhelmingly democratic.
Most of Mississippi is poor including the white people. I’m sure the state does what it can to keep the poor blacks from voting, including gerrymandering, ID requirements, long lines to vote in the black areas, etc… But again, if Mississippi wants clean water for it’s population they should raise money for it by themselves rather than taking money from the blue states which is where the federal government gets most of it’s money.
Obviously what is happening in Mississippi, because the state is so uneducated and poor, is they take money from the federal government and use it to maintain the white areas first. The black areas get low priority because the political power in the state is controlled by the whites. This is the Jim Crow system in a nutshell. The federal government shouldn’t give states more money back than they send especially if these states claim to be adverse to the evils of socialism.

“Jackson, MS, already located in one of the poorest states in the U.S., has seen its tax base dwindle and is far short of the revenues leaders say are necessary to fix outdated water infrastructure in mostly black neighborhoods. While the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed last November includes $459 million for water improvements throughout the state, Mayor Lumumba (D) has said the city would need at least $2 billion to fix its water infrastructure.”
— The Hill
Governor Tate Reeves (R) was on TV today saying the state needs support from the federal government to fix their sewer and water systems.
Note - Mississippi already gets way more money back from the US treasury than it sends. Why should we tax blue state residents with their high incomes only to give it to poor red states. This is Socialism! If Republicans want drinking water in Mississippi then raise the state and local taxes to pay for it.

It is not Trump's Truth Social anymore.
It’s still Trump’s baby. Another failed business venture by the genius.
“Six months after its high-profile launch, the site … still has no guaranteed source of revenue and a questionable path to growth, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings from Digital World Acquisition, DWAC, the company planning to take Trump’s start-up, the Trump Media & Technology Group, public.”
DWAC disclosed in a December 2021 regulatory filing that the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority had weeks earlier asked it for information about stock trading and communications with TMTG prior to their deal being announced.[26][27] The company disclosed in June 2022 that the SEC was expanding its inquiry, and days later said a grand jury seated by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York had subpoenaed DWAC and each member of its board, as well as documents.
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), also known as T Media Tech LLC,[2] is an American media and technology company founded in January 2021 by former U.S. president Donald Trump. And it’s failing badly.

Headline: Payment disputes and a dwindling audience have fueled doubts about the former president’s Twitter clone
For a guy who likes to talk about the “failing NY Times” (which has growing revenue) he sure isn’t having much success with his own media company.
Looks like there will be yet another Trump bankruptcy!
The company has seen its stock price plunge nearly 75 percent since its March peak and reported in a filing last week that it had lost $6.5 million in the first half of the year. There are signs that the company’s financial base has begun to erode. The Trump company stopped paying RightForge, a conservative web-hosting service, in March and now owes it more than $1 million, according to Fox Business, which first reported the dispute.

Yes, Great Parrot, so great how the country lost a million people to Covid-19, never broke 3% GDP growth, added 8 trillion to the National Debt, saw a President impeached not once but twice by Congress, and passed a tax law that made very rich people even richer.

I know facts have never been Trump’s strong suit, but it’s very ironic that the guy who was elected on a platform that Hilary should be locked up for mishandling classified material has so blatantly mishandled highly classified material in the form of hundreds of documents. But his sycophants don’t seem to mind - racists don’t care if their racist candidate is a hypocrite.

No state gets more back than they put in.
Hey dummy
Money to the Federal treasury includes incomes taxes, SS tax, Medicare tax gasoline taxes, etc…
Money from the Federal treasury to the states AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE STATES includes Federal aid, money for roads, money for education, SS payments, Medicare, Medicaid, federal pensions, federal salaries, etc…
Most red states get way more from the treasury than they send. A net benefit for those states.
The largest contributors to the Federal Treasury are California and New York. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida and Texas are also big contributors.

Oh. THAT one? In the FBI investigation documents, Mueller literally states that when the Russian lawyer approached them with dirt on Clinton, after Trump Jr. And others heard the dirt and approached Trump, then-candidate Trump declined the deal.
But everyone knows that Trump and Don Jr. both refused to answer questions under oath for the Mueller investigation- Because they were so innocent.

I'm not sure why they would disagree with written law and legal experts. I guess he had a lot of retards in his administration if this is true. Hopefully next term he makes a note to IQ test the people he works with.
The written law is the Obama Executive Order. Trump did not follow the law and he is bull shitting when he says he had a “standing order” on declassifying anything he took to with him while in the White House. Nobody is confirming this so-called standing order.

Whether it does or not, he has plausible deniability for any potential legal issues. Reasonable doubt is all any jury needs.
There are plenty of people from the Trump Administration who have already said publicly that this idea of automatic declassification is nonsense and a lie.
