Ditto, but this is actually a bonus for me.
"Didn't you see my email and message last evening?"

You know what?
This is a really good point. According to the article,
the margin of error of plus or minus 5.93 percent.
Meanwhile, it also said the poll was saying,
45 percent to 43 percent
So in the extreme case, rather than being down by 2 points for Harris, it could be up for Harris by almost 4 points.
The Jewish voting block, although largely Blue by tradition, does have have a real alternative in the GOP candidate (since he'd stick with the Israel Prime Minister no matter how low they go in Gaza, no matter what, as long as he's not personally insulted).
This is part of the reason why Dems have had to walk such a fine line around Gaza - it's next to impossible navigate without offending either group. That said, it's difficult to understand folks of this persuasion who'd actively support the GOP guy here - both alternatives are bad so you'd actually pick the worse one?
Pleased to have been able to contribute. And, no rush here, but happily awaiting your reply - either way I'm bound to learn something new.
Good grief, that means this lie has been successfully peddled for nearly half a century.
Eh, I mean they are a nuclear armed State. This is bad, but a crumbling nuclear power would probably detonate in a lot more ways than one, if you catch my meaning.
I optimistically have hope that things will get fixed, once Dems are able to drop the filibuster so new legislation at the federal level is possible again.
Though that depends on Dems retaining the Senate in this election, or taking it back in 2026.
Yes, that one who has allowed her views to evolve and showing a willingness to compromise to show she'll support the wishes of everyone in the US.
Of the two, who has better odds on (for example) being convinced to return to a ban on fracking? The one who previously sought to ban it, or the one who racistly said that climate change was a hoax from a particular country half way around the world?
trump wants to stop them cuz Biden did it …
Generally speaking, this is exactly on point. If the GOP guy wins, he'll stop the program that Biden launched.
Then he'll work with the big rich companies to create a new program that has his name on it, that's even bigger and worse.
The fossil fuel companies want trump to keep it because it’s making them so much money while they’ve set recording breaking production the last two years…
Wait, so the fossil fuel companies want to keep Biden's push to replace fossil fuels? Because it's been making them money?
Actually, that's good. If even the fossil fuel companies want them replaced...
Republicans and moderates have lowered the bar so much since Jimmy Carter, that you can’t even remember what a Dem candidate is supposed to look like
My answer: AOC
What's outrageous is that this is being treated as news, when it's not new, e.g. (from 2021) https://www.thebalancemoney.com/trickle-down-economics-theory-effect-does-it-work-3305572
We've known this that since at least 2001, if not earlier, https://www.capitalismmagazine.com/2001/09/the-trickle-down-economics-straw-man/
Alas, Wikipedia has a good explanation on this point, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_agent#United_States
in 1980, the court ruled that receiving "bona fide subsidy" from a foreign source does not render the recipient as a foreign agent unless the foreign direction or control is established.
the grants which it received were linked to specific programs it should have carried out, thus, it fell under "request".
appellate court found that even the identical leadership and the financial connection were not sufficient to grant summary judgement and a full trial was required since mere provision of funds was insufficient
If that's right, then it seems the question here then whether Russia was just giving money to keep afloat influencers who would have gone with this nonsense anyways, or if Russia had more direct control via request making.
I suspect it's the second one, but it seems a full trial would be needed to prove it, and I can imagine the handlers being really good at making sure there was never any paperwork to use as evidence that "requests" were made.
Remember that the GOP used to be the party of Abraham Lincoln who ended the Civil War and slavery.
There are still some who hope to restore the party to its old glory, despite how far it's fallen since.
