Informed voters who respect truth could make this whole issue of proper governance really simple by "canceling" (the wingnut word of the day, evidently) as many worthless Republican politicians as possible every chance they get.
Perhaps someday a third party of moderate conservatives (Are there any left in the hierarchy of power?) will arise to supplant the failed Republican Party and to engage in reasonable debate with the Democratic Party about how best to help We the People who aren't millionaires and billionaires feeding at the trough of taxpayer largesse under the present system of socialism for the rich.
Maybe then Kyrsten Sinema, Joe Manchin, and Dianne Feinstein (if she's still alive and not too senile, bless her) could find a home that would better suit them.
Thank you for bringing up such difficult but important topics. Capitalism and democracy are something about which you can talk and argue forever. I recently prepared a research work, and I try to look these up answers for my question in any sources available to me. It's incredible how much new and unknown can be discovered in the course of research and when you try to find materials for this.
The shoe does fit... 🐘
You don't mean Republicans?
How can you have an "honest" dialogue with people who constantly lie?
If you are saying that he listens to his Cabinet and aids. Then evaluates based on their opinion and his own personal opinion. Then I would say that is good. Because Trump always claimed that he knew more than anybody else and made his decisions based on that only. By the way his approval ratings are higher than Trump ever had.
Hi Cuz,
I agree with you. It would be nice to know who the 'Puppet Master' is, but my guess is we'll never know. It would be refreshing to get away from the my side wins no matter what the cost, and have some honest dialogue between Democrats and Republicans.
Interesting comparison. I see what you mean.

Right on. I too have been informing uncaring businesses cavalier about the potential sickness and death of their customers that I will N-E-V-E-R patronize them again. Trump and the Republican Party's genocide will go down as a major inflection point in the history of the American experiment. Have we reached the bottom? God, let's hope so!
People in every state should sue Trump, Governors and the Republican Party, for the deaths of friends and loved ones, due to the lies and refusal to issue restrictions based on the science recommended by the CDC and many other research medical institutions.
The governor of our state has been sued multiple times for trying to enforce restrictions that have been proven to be effective. I guess that's what you get when you try to save lives.
Even Restaurants and bars have sued to stop restrictions. Why does it seem lucrative to kill your constituents and customers???
When this is behind us (????), I will never attend these businesses that have failed to care about their customer, EVER. I also have emailed them stating this fact, even though I have frequented them previously!
I feel that what Trump and others have done to kill over 500,000+ citizens, amounts to genocide, just as if they were marched to a gas chamber, and also died a horrific death.
Many will never recover, and will suffer the rest of their lives, unable to work and face ever increasing medical bills.
derp
The white-privileged elite can afford to hire home tutors for their spoiled brats. The rest of us can eat shit and die.
As the saying goes, they're their own worst enemy. Trouble is, they're also the worst enemy of our democracy with all their new voter-suppression laws in the hopper based on Trump's Big Lie.
Trump's son was home for many months, because his Maryland School was closed, while Trump was insisting that schools open. I never once heard him try to force the Maryland school to open.
The real danger of not curtailing the pandemic, in any method available, including vaccinations, is that these wide open states provide”incubation" for the mutation of the virus, creating more and different variants.
Yup, during four dull, painful years, what good were Trump's interminable, illiterate, unenlightened, and unintelligible press conferences when all he did was lie his pompous fat ass off in front of the American people? The result: over 500,000 dead citizens, a ruined economy, shocked allies betrayed, and a gleeful Putin.
And, as always, every other wing-nut talking point mentioned above is nothing but pure, pointless bullshit and shameless hypocrisy. "Figures don't lie, but liars do figure." Here, take this statistic and stick it squarely up...
Meanwhile, once again, a Democratic president with a working brain and a human heart is helping working-class Americans and their families instead of wasting two trillion on Wall Street fat cats. (No, nothing "trickled down" to the little people who will be paying for the Republican tax giveaways to the rich for a generation.)
Once again, a real president is busily cleaning up the horrible mess left by worthless, fascist Republicans who can't even govern their own way out of the sewer they inhabit. Proven over and over, most of the voters, sans the truly deluded, have finally figured out who the bad guys really are.
So good luck, fuckers, in 2022, 2024, and beyond. It's a thing of beauty -- the traitorous Republican Party is shriveling up and dying, fading away into obscurity like the Whig Party before them. Maybe the survivors can re-invent themselves someday in the distant future when the old guard is rotting in the grave. That should be an interesting journey.
Worn out door knobs, I really think it is better than President Biden stay sequestered. Speaking off the cuff is no longer in his arsenal. His continual gaffes and lapses of memory presented on national television would not be helpful and cause the right to beat the drums even louder.
I believe he is speaking tonight and I predict it will be very short and to the point. Questions will likely not be an option and that is fine.
In trying to figure out who is actually telling Joe where to go, what to say, and who to pick for whatever, I am wondering if it is not Susan Rice. She is competent and has the experience to keep things somewhat on track. She is also a very powerful individual with good contacts and credentials.
As for the never-ending line of executive orders, I consider them and the two trillion dollar stimulus(?) to be nothing more than paybacks for help in winning the election. The actual covid relief in the bill is a small percentage of the total package which is mostly pork and gifts owed to cronies. That crap is nothing more than politics in general and has gone on a smaller scale for decades. Both sides do it and the public continues to look away.
Mr Legend:
Here's a news flash for you, Trump is no longer President. We are talking about Democracy, and presidential transparency today, March 11, 2021. 38 Executive orders are not democracy in action. It's dictatorial. Please address that issue, and quit trying to divert it to something else.
How about NPR? There are plenty more.
Again, you are just repeating the right wing attack of the day. At least what you get in daily breifings is honest. All that you got from Trump was lies. 33000 by last count I saw.
Presidential news conferences from the last 16 presidents according to the University of California at Santa Barbara. Check them out. During his 4 years in office, President Trump gave 88 press conferences for an average of 22/year. President Biden has went longer than any President in the last 100 years without giving a press conference, also, no President has failed to give a state of the Union address either in person or in writing.
BTW, I use actual references in my post. I don't 'cut an paste' unsourced articles and pretend it's a source.

But in Republicans eyes it shows that voter fraud is real?!?!?!?????
The latest attack Du Jour from the right wing media!
We remember the lack of press briefings from the White house under King Trump. 300+ days without a press briefings. We get daily briefings now. Or the press question sessions. With Trump answering questions next to the waiting helicopter. Where he could not hear the questions. How did you forget?
You watch too much right wing media.
There is a new tape of Trump trying to get more votes in GA.

As of March 8, Biden has issued 38 executive orders, has not given a single press conference, and doesn't intend to give a State of the Union Address. Those aren't the traits of a Democracy. We have a dictator, a monarch, who places himself above the representives of "we the people".
If you are offended by a cartoon. a lady on a syrup bottle, a man of a box of rice, or Mr. or Mrs. Potato head,
You may be the problem
Don't get me wrong, I am glad Mr. Potato Head was canceled and my children are safe.
Now my son can get back to playing Grand Theft Auto where he just set a hooker on fire so he didn't have to pay her.
