Greed is the flip side of fear.
I suppose that means greedy people 'fear' being poor.

If you want to comment on anti-voter rights legislation, you have but 6 days to do it. I suggest you comment anonymously. I commented using Amendments 15 blk men, 20 women, 26th lower age to 18. None can be denied or abridged by US or State gov'ts.

Republicans don't even read the New Testament of Matthew, which I know because of their actions. Even if some have read it, they are now ignoring while still claiming to be Christian, something they are far from being.

So true. I keep telling people to 'know them by their works, not their words." Actions speak louder than words, Words are cheap, etc.

Looks like entire Trump family has gotten markedly richer this year. I already reported on dear greedy leader, wife & eldest, but his youngest got in on the scam as well earning an additional $80 M in crypto coin (insider trading I strongly suspect) and is now worth an estimated $150M. Power abuse.

I mentioned this very thing less than a week ago as I was thinking we should do something similar every time ICE shows up. Glad to see it posted.

I do NOT believe that any member of the Political Republican Party is honoring or respecting the Constitution that they swore an oath of office to, therefore they are not respecting their Oath of Office so, I don't think they deserve to be seated in Congress, do you?

We complained about this when Obama was President and got nowhere since it's a violation of our rights to "be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches & seizures." 4th Amendment
ICE IS VIOLATING THIS BIG TIME.

The surveillance empire that tracked world leaders, a Vatican enemy, and maybe you

Inside the hidden world of First Wap, whose untraceable tech has targeted politicians, journalists, celebrities, and activists around the globe.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat
Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

No wonder we're in trouble, republicans seem to attract a lot of psychopaths, which are likely made up of Jan 6 insurrectionists that he wrongly pardoned.

Senator Bennett of Colorado
"A couple in Washington County would pay over $1000 a month for health insurance.

These are the real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it."

More on Portland, is one protestor injured, so ambulance called but ICE wanted to ride along so they could arrest the guy, but Amb driver refused unless he was lawfully arrested before. 30 ICE agents surrounded Amb, and then turned violent against driver because vehicle lurched when put in park?

When Noem arrived in Portland to face the 'violent' insurrectionists, she found 8 protestors and 1 26 yo guy in a chicken costume who was there to ridicule Fascists, which is their thing, & why they go after late night comics.

Would they behave differently with a different person in the WH? Possibly. And if that is a possibility, then they should be invoking Article 25.

The Trump Administration Misuses Christianity to Promote an Agenda of Hate whowhatwhy.org/cartoon/the-...
I do NOT see any signs of Christianity in any Republican politician and not many of their voters either. Democrats adhere more to the New Testament and teachings of Christ than most republicans.

Don't want to heal diseases because cures are not as profitable as 'treatments." But they want to 'heal' that which cannot be healed? Gays are NOT MADE, they are born and have always been with us, now they are political theater for republicans.

The rest of the story re national debt 1st term, 2nd term is more of a regime and he's already ripped us off to the tune of billions of $'s and the deaths of thousands, just 9 months into his regime.

The LAST American President

Got democracy? Pay attention to this professional liar:

Chief liar told us that he is the ONLY President in modern history who left office with a lower national debt? A whopper
He increased national debt by over $7 T. Sure he had COVID, but that was less than a year before the end of his 1st term and accounts for some of it, but not all.

MY SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR MAJORITY

The majority of Americans would be happy with 3 things, livable incomes, affordable healthcare & government assistance during natural disasters. Just these 3 things relieve stress which makes us healthier & healthy & happy workers are more productive workers.

Not true. Takes a long time to build and are extremely expensive. Try solar panels instead, cheaper and better for ecosystem than nuclear, which takes a lot of water to keep cool & we don't have enough as it is. I can live w/o power, w/o water we're dead in 1 wk.

Is nuclear power becoming cool in Colorado? Discussion of a role for it is growing

Advocates say nuclear energy offers a carbon-free way to meet rising electricity demand in Colorado. But critics say new types of reactors being promoted are not ready for prime time

Funny. They might find someone and turn them into the ANTIFA leader. LOL That's how crooked they are.

ICYMI: "Democrats are refusing to cave to Republican demands to gut Affordable Care Act subsidies and slash health protections for millions. Their resolve is keeping families covered, protecting seniors, and ensuring every American can access the care they deserve."
