A thread for Democrats Only by THGRRI

Trump and his Republican allies are actively preparing to ensure his victory by whatever means necessary....The amateurish “stop the steal” efforts of 2020 have given way to an organized nationwide campaign to ensure that Trump and his supporters will have the control over state and local election officials that they lacked in 2020. Those recalcitrant Republican state officials who effectively saved the country from calamity by refusing to falsely declare fraud or to “find” more votes for Trump are being systematically removed or hounded from office.

....The stage is thus being set for chaos....Most Americans — and all but a handful of politicians — have refused to take this possibility seriously enough to try to prevent it. As has so often been the case in other countries where fascist leaders arise, their would-be opponents are paralyzed in confusion and amazement at this charismatic authoritarian.

The United States faces a serious risk that the 2024 presidential election, and other future U.S. elections, will not be conducted fairly, and that the candidates taking office will not reflect the free choices made by eligible voters under previously announced election rules. The potential mechanisms by which election losers may be declared election winners are: usurpation of voter choices for President by state legislatures purporting to exercise constitutional authority to do so, possibly blessed by a partisan-divided Supreme Court and acquiesced to by Republicans in Congress; fraudulent or suppressive election administration or vote counting by law- or norm-breaking election officials; and violent or disruptive private action that prevents voting, interferes with the counting of votes, or interrupts the assumption of power by the actual winning candidate.

Alone, broke males should not be allowed to vote. That's you, 6ix:

NYU Professor Scott Galloway says the drop in men going to college is part of a growing mating crisis in the US and that the country runs the risk of producing "too many of the most dangerous cohort in the world" if the trend isn't reversed. The most unstable, violent societies in the world have one thing in common: they have too many men who aren't attached to work, to school, to relationships.

From today’s Dilbert Comic:

Do you ever wonder about the true nature of reality? I mean, is any of this real? Maybe we’re a digital simulation that was designed to entertain a higher intelligence? How would we be entertaining them? The usual way. By being idiots. - https://dilbert.com/strip/2021-09-26

Trump entertains, hinting that reality is a simulation:

Michael Cohen, a former attorney to Donald Trump, laughed at the ex-president's recent lawsuit against niece Mary Trump on Saturday.

"If I was Mary Trump and her lawyer, I would turn and say, don't fight this," he said. "Just answer the complaint and look for depositions. Let's look for discovery because one thing for certain—and I have read dozens of Donald Trump depositions—they are the dumbest written paper that you've ever seen. Nothing makes sense, everything is circular."

"He does not want to do depositions," he added. "Right now I'm in a lawsuit against the Trump Organization. I have asked for depositions of Donald and they are adamant that they do not want him to sit for depositions because he doesn't know what he's talking about. Even if in fact it deals with him, he is absolutely clueless and he lies so much, he doesn't even remember the lies that he told yesterday."
- https://www.rawstory.com/mary-trump-2655172521/

Trump's disordered speech drew attention from experts who said it reflected cognitive decline. He himself has never stopped marveling at his “amazing” performance on a cognitive test in 2018 (best captured by comedian Sarah Cooper). Trump bragged about the test on the 2020 campaign trail and was still bragging in Texas this summer: “I aced it. And I’d like to see Biden ace it. He won’t ace it.”

When I buy, I don't know the CEO and don't care. What I care about is the company's product. The Federal government has a product, too. I paid attention to the product of the Republicans, which was all about Trump 24 hours per day / 7 days per week. I pay attention to the product of Democrats, which is never about Biden -- it is never about what goofy tweet he wrote. There is a difference between entertainment (Trump) and policy (Biden). Trump didn't have any policy. He was all entertainment, all the time.

You say truth is lies all the time. By the way, Trump calls truths lies all the time. I know that trait is very appealing to Trump voters. Trump losing becomes, in the minds of Trump voters and maybe even in Trump, that Trump won. Truth is lies. News is fake. Nobody died from Covid-19. Whatever you want to believe is true when you vote for Trump because Trump voters live in a simulation of reality:

No, YOU say truth is lies all of the time. SIX may be off on some topics, but you're off everywhere.

You've constantly called me a "Russian troll", and we both know for a fact that you're lying. You forwarded every lie about Trump - RUSSIA!RUSSIA! QUIDPROQUO! INSURRECTION! KAVANAUGH! TAXES! SECRETSERVER! AND MORE!

You've hopped onto every lie about republicans, Trump supporters (eg. "struggling to stay in the middle class") and ANY lie on any topic whatsoever, shifting your views on the Constitution, the Electoral College, innocent until proven guilty, mental fitness for office (Biden*, anyone?), freedom of speech/censorship), war, history ... for your war on Republicans. All bc something happned 50 years ago that was your own damn fault, but you caouldn't man up, so you had to blame someone ... anyone ... else.

It's one thing to see someone deluded about some things ... AURAPTOR was deluded about Saddam's WMD, JO753 is deluded about Russia, SIX about Covid-19.

You? You're deluded about EVERYTHING. If you hit on the truth once on a while

1) It's by accident, and
2) You'll contradict yourself out of it soon enough bc you're not committed to truth, you're committed to your pointless war.

6ix, too bad you didn't quote any examples, but you're a moron so why would you do more than insinuate with nothing behind it? Let me quote my representative, who has Covid-19, and is just as whacked up in the head as you are:

"Roxanne and I are going to recuperate at home in Texas. However, I’m not going to allow this unfortunate situation to stop me from doing everything I can, on behalf of my 750,000 constituents, to fight this Biden/Bernie/Pelosi $5 trillion socialist scheme every step of the way." - email from United States Congressman Brian Babin, D.D.S., Proudly Serving The 36th District Of Texas

I am amused that Babin, the old fool, includes Doctor of Dental Surgery in every news letter. I know this jackass. He is crazy and not just because everything is socialism. He also supports articles of impeachment against Biden for the stupidest reasons: https://babin.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=7737

What "socialism" is Babin fighting to the death? This "socialism":
1. Fund climate initiatives.
2. Add dental, hearing, and vision benefits to Medicare.
3. Increase child tax credit permanently.
4. Provide two years of free community college.
5. Provide funding for long-term care done at home.
6. Provide universal pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds.
7. Increase Obamacare subsidies from January's coronavirus bill permanently.

So, you didn't find what you said you found, therefore you will not be providing quotes. On the other hand, Trump did say what he said: "Our country will not survive this."

I watched Donald Trump's entire "interview" with One America News propagandist Dan Ball, and that's the quote that stood out the most.

Trump was in the middle of a fact-free rant about "vicious" Democrats cheating on elections when he said "they're destroying our country. Our country will not survive this. Our country will not survive." Then he sniffed and shifted to immigration, saying "look at where they're coming from," clearly mimicking the "great replacement theory" talking points that Tucker Carlson has been mainlining into homes across the country.

Trump's incessant lies about the last election (Biden "didn't get 81 million votes, there's no way," he told OAN) pose obvious threats to future elections.

The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/two

The Trump movement is historically unique. For millions of Americans, Trump himself is the response to their fears and resentments. This is a stronger bond between leader and followers than anything seen before in U.S. political movements. Although the Founders feared the rise of a king or a Caesar, for two centuries Americans proved relatively immune to unwavering hero-worship of politicians. Their men on horseback — Theodore Roosevelt, Grant, even Washington — were not regarded as infallible. This was true of great populist leaders as well. William Jennings Bryan a century ago was venerated because he advanced certain ideas and policies, but he did not enjoy unquestioning loyalty from his followers. Even Reagan was criticized by conservatives for selling out conservative principles, for deficit spending, for his equivocal stance on abortion, for being “soft” on the Soviet Union.

Trump is different, which is one reason the political system has struggled to understand, much less contain, him. The American liberal worldview tends to search for material and economic explanations for everything, and no doubt a good number of Trump supporters have grounds to complain about their lot in life. But their bond with Trump has little to do with economics or other material concerns. They believe the U.S. government and society have been captured by socialists, minority groups and sexual deviants. They see the Republican Party establishment as corrupt and weak — “losers,” to use Trump’s word, unable to challenge the reigning liberal hegemony. They view Trump as strong and defiant, willing to take on the establishment, Democrats, RINOs, liberal media, antifa, the Squad, Big Tech and the “Mitch McConnell Republicans.” His charismatic leadership has given millions of Americans a feeling of purpose and empowerment, a new sense of identity. While Trump’s critics see him as too narcissistic to be any kind of leader, his supporters admire his unapologetic, militant selfishness. Unlike establishment Republicans, Trump speaks without embarrassment on behalf of an aggrieved segment of Americans, not exclusively White, who feel they have been taking it on the chin for too long. And that is all he needs to do.

There was a time when political analysts wondered what would happen when Trump failed to “deliver” for his constituents. But the most important thing Trump delivers is himself. His egomania is part of his appeal. In his professed victimization by the media and the “elites,” his followers see their own victimization. That is why attacks on Trump by the elites only strengthen his bond with his followers. That is why millions of Trump supporters have even been willing to risk death as part of their show of solidarity: When Trump’s enemies cited his mishandling of the pandemic to discredit him, their answer was to reject the pandemic. One Trump supporter didn’t go to the hospital after developing covid-19 symptoms because he didn’t want to contribute to the liberal case against Trump. “I’m not going to add to the numbers,” he told a reporter.

2) The Senate found that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
https://www.hsdl.org/c/final-report-on-russian-interference-in-2016-el
ections/

3) Mueller also found that Russia interfered: “The Internet Research Agency (IRA) carried out the earliest Russian interference operations identified by the investigation—a social media campaign designed to provoke and amplify political and social discord in the United States. The IRA was based in St. Petersburg. Russia, and received funding from Russian oligarch Yevgeniy Prigozhin and companies he controlled. Prigozhin is widely reported to have ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

“At the same time that the IRA operation began to focus on supporting candidate Trump in early 2016, the Russian government employed a second form of interference: cyber intrusions (hacking) and releases of hacked materials damaging to the Clinton Campaign. The Russian intelligence service known as the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Army (GRU) carried out these operations.”
https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf

4) Trump interfered with the investigation of Russia. Mueller’s Volume 2 said: “Our obstruction-of-justice inquiry focused on a series of actions by the President that related to the Russian-interference investigations, including the President’s conduct towards the law enforcement officials overseeing the investigations and the witnesses to relevant events.”
https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf

5) Russia interfered again in 2020

Key Judgment 2: We assess that Russian President Putin authorized, and a range of Russian government organizations conducted, influence operations aimed at denigrating President Biden’s candidacy and the Democratic Party, supporting former President Trump, undermining public confidence in the electoral process, and exacerbating sociopolitical divisions in the US. Unlike in 2016, we did not see persistent Russian cyber efforts to gain access to election infrastructure. We have high confidence in our assessment; Russian state and proxy actors who all serve the Kremlin’s interests worked to affect US public perceptions in a consistent manner.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Oh, SLOPPY's just trying to prove he ain't afraid of no little ol' lawsuit and he can post as many libels as he wants. Plus trolling is the only thing he has to offer. So when the board starts to get distracted onto real discussions, he throws out some flamebait to bring everyone's attention back to him.

I have to say it's funny watching him have to do all the dirty work himself after everyone else either got scared off by the threat of a lawsuit, or was kicked off. snicker So I sure HOPE he keeps at it! Because it's amusing when he runs in circles all by his lonesome.

SLOPPY - why do you never start any threads of your own but instead spend 100% of your time crapping up everyone else's? Is it because you really have NOTHING you want to discuss and are only here to troll?

Yesterday every single Republican senator voted to shut down the U.S. government and provoke a global financial crisis.

Of course, they claimed otherwise; Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, portrayed the vote against raising the debt limit as a test of Democrats’ ability to govern, and some of his colleagues claimed to be taking a stand for fiscal responsibility. But everyone involved understood that this was an act of political sabotage. And the terrible thing is that it might work.

The financial crisis that every Republican Senator voted for could be very severe. U.S. government debt plays an essential role in the global financial system because Treasury securities are used as collateral in financial transactions around the world. During the brief Covid-induced financial panic of March 2020 interest rates on short-term Treasuries actually went negative, as frightened investors piled into the safest assets they could think of.

Make U.S. debt unsafe — make the U.S. government an unreliable counterparty, because its ability to pay its bills is contingent on the whims of an irresponsible opposition party — and the disruption to world markets could be devastating.

So why would Republicans flirt with such an outcome?

It has long been clear that voters are far less informed about parties’ policy actions than we’d like to imagine, even when those policies touch their lives directly. Earlier this year most Americans received stimulus checks thanks to the American Rescue Plan, which was enacted by Democrats on a straight party-line vote. Yet a poll of rural voters found that only half gave Democrats credit for those checks; a third credited Republicans, not one of whom supported the plan.

In general, Republican Senators know that voters tend to support the incumbent party when things are going well, oppose it if things are going badly — even if the positive or negative events have no conceivable relationship to that party’s actions. An example from the 1916 election, which was much closer than most people expected: in particular, Woodrow Wilson lost his home state of New Jersey. Why? Achen and Bartels make a compelling case that one major factor was the panic created by a wave of shark attacks along New Jersey’s beaches. Whatever you think of Wilson, he wasn’t responsible for those sharks. But voters blamed him anyway.

If a party doesn’t care about the state of the nation when the other party is in power, and it knows that its opposition suffers when bad things happen, what is its optimal political strategy? The answer, obviously, is that it should do what it can to make bad things happen.

Sometimes the sabotage strategy is almost naked. Consider Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida. DeSantis has done everything he can to prevent an effective response to the latest pandemic wave — trying to block mask and vaccine requirements, even by private businesses. Yet this hasn’t stopped him from blaming President Biden for failing to end Covid.

And now comes the debt crisis. Nobody has ever accused McConnell of being stupid. He knows quite well just how disastrous failing to raise the debt limit could be. But the disaster would occur on Biden’s watch. And from his point of view, that’s all good.

The Biden administration should, if Republicans in the Senate continue to promise a filibuster of a debt ceiling increase, unilaterally abolish the ceiling using executive powers.

There are at least four available to Biden, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Each of these actions would effectively make the debt ceiling law a dead letter. Congress (or a minority thereof) would no longer be able to threaten default as a means of extracting concessions from the president, and the single biggest source of inter-branch conflict in the federal government would cease to exist.

The short-term political implications could be tough for the Biden administration to bear. But if the choice is between default and a presidential power grab, a power grab is the only defensible course of action. A responsible leader does not plunge his people into a wholly preventable financial crisis. If backed against a wall, Biden mustn’t flinch. He must kill the debt ceiling once and for all.

America’s richest 400 families pay an average annual income tax rate of just 8.2%.

In West Virginia, funding the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill with a billionaire’s income tax increases support from even (48% in favor, 47% oppose) to 2-1 in favor (65% in favor, 29% opposed)—a bipartisan supermajority. In Arizona, likely voters support the reconciliation bill when funded by a billionaire income tax by a 39-point margin (67% in favor, 28% opposed). These states are home to Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, respectively, whose votes will be needed to pass any final agreement.

https://andrewtobias.com/taxing-the-super-rich/

My 2020 Effective Tax Rate was 7.06%. 2019 Effective Tax Rate 9.50%.
I haven't seen 6ix's tax returns, or Trump's, but their Effective Tax Rate is probably 0.0%, maybe even negative, because of Covid-19 relief payments or social security benefits.

Homeless people are a state and local government problem while refugees are a Federal government problem, which is why there is a BIG difference in treatment.

By the way, I really did look at my tax returns. Effective Tax Rate was 13.14% in 2018. With inspiration from Trump, each year I pay a lower percent than the previous year. If Trump can pay zero, my goal should be zero tax. Biden paid 25.92% for 2020 ($157,414/$607,316)

Biden Should Ignore the Debt Limit

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida tweeted: “The $3.5 trillion Biden plan isn’t socialism, it’s Marxism.”

Indeed, we all remember the stirring passage in The Communist Manifesto where Marx declared, “Workers of the world, unite to spend 1.2 percent of G.D.P. on popular programs over the next decade!”

Mitch McConnell declared, “There is no chance Republicans will help lift Democrats’ credit limit so they can immediately steamroller through a socialist binge that will hurt families and help China.” If that sounds to you like meaningless word salad, that’s because it is.

The fact that Republicans routinely say such nonsense is why the Biden administration could simply declare that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which says that the validity of federal debt may not be questioned, renders the debt ceiling moot.

Of course, if the Biden administration does do something unusual to avoid a debt crisis, Republicans will run blistering ads denouncing the action. But they’ll do that anyway! Which is where Marco Rubio comes in. He used to be considered a moderate; now he denounces a medium-size investment plan that appears to be highly popular as the second coming of Stalin. The Republican faux-outrage dial is already turned up to 11; how much worse can it get?

So go ahead, Democrats, and do whatever it takes to get through this. Gimmickry in the defense of sanity — and, in an important sense, democracy — is no vice.

From Republicans: "They should let no refugees in because then everyone will be in."

From Democrats: "62,500 refugees last year, 125,000 this year."

Can you see the difference between Democrats' and Republicans' thinking? I doubt you can because no Republicans I know understand (although forcefully claiming they do, when you test their understanding they flunk yet continue to shout, scream and deny they flunked) but the difference makes all the difference in the world.

One thing I am adamantly against is the 3% increase (after adjusting for inflation) to defense spending. Congress votes for the increase because the money gets spent in their states but it has a side effect of placing weapons and ammo in the control of liars called affectionately The Troops, who kill civilians because The Troops don't give a damn about winning wars. The Troops are just there for the money and retirement after 20 years of work. The Troops' true motivations (not the patriotic catchphrases) for being in the military explain why The Troops keep losing war after war. If The Troops got punished for killing civilians, but they don't, they would deserve their 3% yearly increase (after adjusting for inflation). The Troops might even win a war once in awhile, but since The Troops would revolt if they were punished and Congress refuses to take responsibility for declaring War, rather than let the Pentagon decide and the President agree with Pentagon's decisions, The Troops won't be winning future Wars.

I seldom see any Democrats act the way Republicans constantly, endlessly, falsely accuse them of acting, but nearly all Republicans do act that way. I haven't bothered to run experiments but I suspect there is a psychological basis for people voting twice for Trump because telltale signs of twice Trumpers' confused mental processes keep uncontrollably leaping out of their mouths at mildly stressful moments. Outside of politics, their runaway mouths and emotions get the twice Trumpers into trouble.

The American Survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

More than 75 years after the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Aug. 6 and Aug. 9, 1945, roughly 136,000 people are living with the memories—and effects—of the disasters. In the U.S., specifically, there are believed to be just under 1,000 survivors. Many of these men and women ended up in Hiroshima and Nagasaki as children or young adults on those fateful days because they were visiting extended family, or had been sent to study in the country during a time of rising anti-Asian sentiments in the U.S. (It was not uncommon for families of Japanese descent in America to send their children to Japanese schools for a few years so that they would have the option to work in the country as adults.)

American survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki gather for biannual medical checkups. The medical check-ups are done by Hiroshima physicians, and the funding source is the Japanese government. [Since 1977], the Japanese government has sent a team of medical doctors specializing in the treatment of radiation illnesses to do checkups on survivors in the U.S. Many American survivors think of the checkups as an opportunity to see each other and say hi to each other.

This is a strange legacy of the bomb: there are American survivors, and yet their medical checkups are conducted by Japanese physicians. One element of the history is the lack of recognition of these American survivors by the U.S. government—they are not recognized in the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act that passed in the 1990s to benefit people affected by radiation, such as Nevada nuclear test fallout victims, downwinders and so forth. Because of that lack of recognition, the Japanese government was the entity that American survivors went to demand assistance from.

Why was America’s response so different from Japan’s?

On the American side, I think it just brings up many unwanted questions. World War II is still considered to be a “good war,” and many people do not want to raise any ethical or legal questions about that narrative. [The existence of] American survivors raises too many questions about the war, about nuclear weapons, about humanity.

In the decades before the 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act, about 15 percent of Americans were uninsured for the costs of health care. Texas stood out, ranking an abysmal 48th in the nation. About 25 percent of Texans — or 6.4 million of our neighbors — were uninsured in 2011, according to Southern Methodist University professor Cal Jillson, who writes about this in his statistically rich “Lone Star Tarnished: A Critical Look at Texas Politics and Public Policy.”

Following passage of the ACA, the national rate of uninsured people plunged to the current 10.8 percent. The uninsured rate has split dramatically, however, between states that expanded Medicaid through federal-state partnerships and states that did not expand Medicaid.

Texas has the most uninsured people of any state by a huge margin — currently 5.4 million. The average household income limit for a family of three in 2020 was $8,905; above that, they wouldn’t qualify for Medicaid in Texas. The deal for states to expand Medicaid eligibility is so obviously financially favorable that it is shocking that Texas has not done it yet.

Uninsured people don’t fail to access the health care system when they get sick. They show up at the emergency room, which is the absolutely the most expensive way to obtain health care.

Emergency rooms have to treat people who show up without insurance. Local, county and nonprofit hospitals typically then pick up the tab for these patients. We’re not saving that money as taxpayers. It’s a fiscally irresponsible way to treat people. It’s an absurd dereliction of financial duty by Texas State government.

Not taking a 90 percent federal reimbursement? That’s not being smart with money. That’s being something else.

Yup.

And now the people making barely enough to make ends meet while paying for their own health insurance have to foot the bill for everyone else's health insurance, ensuring that the middle class will die soon.

No matter how they do it, the Healthcare System is designed from the ground up to eventually make paupers of everyone.

Some brilliant Americans, highly praised, designed The System to serve well their purposes. Thomas Jefferson is exemplary:

How did Jefferson profit from The System? In 1860, four million slaves were worth more than every bank, factory, and railroad combined. The slaves were worth more than all the manufacturing in this country before the Civil War began.

We see this creation of wealth most famously through Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson and other slave masters would rape the enslaved women on their plantations, and then when those women had children, they would sell them. They were, in effect, selling their own children into slavery and receiving great riches in return for making paupers.

People had ways of justifying it to themselves. People find ways of doing evil things and convincing themselves that they aren't evil and aren't as bad as other people. It becomes this exercise in moral relativity where Jefferson can write in one document that all men are created equal and write in another that Black people are likely inferior to Whites in both body and mind -- where he can write one of the most important documents in the history of the Western world and also enslave over 600 people, his own children.

And that he can carry on a relationship, to the extent it can be called a relationship, with Sally Hemings for over 40 years and believe it to be consensual when it is impossible for there to be any semblance of consent when she is his human property. He owns her and he owns her children and yet is somebody who tries to convince himself that what he's doing is not as bad as what other people are doing, that he is a benevolent slaver, even though he knows what he is doing is wrong.

Don't fucking quote half of one sentence I type and follow it up with 10 paragraphs of your bullshit as if you're making a point that had anything to do with my original post, worm.

You're funny . . . funny in the head, which matches up with the real live Texans I know who intend to vote for Trump a third time. All of them have problems. Boy, oh boy, do they have "mental" problems. None of them got the sense to know it, but that's why their lives have avoidable hardships and disappointments. Also, none think Biden won. But then none of them think Gore won in Florida.

Yes, Al Gore won Florida. There are a surprising number of people who still don't know that a proper check of the 2000 presidential vote in Florida was conducted and concluded that Al Gore won.

A national media consortium — composed of CNN, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Tribune Company, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, The St. Petersburg Times, and The Palm Beach Post — paid for the National Opinion Research Center, or NORC, at the University of Chicago to review 175,010 disputed Florida ballots — 61,190 undervotes and 113,820 overvotes.

It is not really my problem when crazies vote for Trump, since he, or any Republican, will lower my income taxes. I'll take the money, but I not voting for the candidates preferred by mentally ill white trash voters. I'm not stooping that low just to make my voting consistent with my accepting undeserved tax cuts aimed at the rich.
