Kissinger is probably four degrees of separation from Epstein at the most and that's assuming Epstein had a handler

AOC has been sheepdogging hard. That vote blue no matter who bullshit, refusing to condemn the Palestinian genocide for over a year, voting for that ADL "antisemitism" bill. Not ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater yet but it wouldn't be surprising if she goes all social imperialist all of a sudden.

Productive for whom? Having an assload of dem bills isn't progress in and of itself. What did that congress pass that made life meaningfully better for everyone? They could have passed single payer healthcare, didn't. They could have passed medicare for all, didn't. They could have raised the federal minimum wage, didn't. Could have codified Roe v. Wade, fucking didn't.

First they filled the Obama cabinet with citibank execs right as it became clear that bankers had caused the economic equivalent of a manmade famine for a quick buck. Then, when it was time to pass the bills that got them elected they dragged their feet and watered down the bills as soon as they had the flimsiest excuse. I won't call it "compromising" because if they absolutely wanted to put their foot down and pass all that shit, they could have. We've seen ample proof. Their sponsors wouldn't stand for it and that's who calls the shots in Washington.

The purpose of a machine is what it does. Whenever Dems have a majority all they do is stall or endlessly dilute their bills until what was originally supposed to be a meal program or closing a loophole for insurance to scam people or whatever, has to include millions for cops or the DEA or an aid package for Israel. Real convenient how they're allowed to be real loud and progressive only when they're guaranteed to lose the vote.

The system remains functionally the same. It matters very little who has the majority, whatever the government ends up doing is usually what is popular with billionaires.

Sure, I can buy a better product for 10 dollars that's made in Vietnam by a Chinese company, but this piece of shit that costs 150 dollars before tax and has no aftermarket replacement parts anywhere says "Made in the USA".

Which is not just morally horrible (which should be the end of it), it's economically horrible. It's very unsustainable, will plunge the working class into debt (and then into debt peonage, most likely) and then the market goes kaboom and there's no guarantee that the world bails out the US again.

You've got it the wrong way round, the axis of evil which is NATO did denounce the elections. Most of the rest of the world sent observers who confirmed the results.

Few exceptions, of course, as Lula seems to rather like how his ass feels on the fence and Boric hasn't found a boot big enough that he won't have a go at licking it.

Somebody post that tweet about literacy being a communist tool

 

Department of education says more than 5 million already defaulted, an additional 4 million in "late-stage delinquency".

“Borrowers will now be expected to repay their loans, and those who don’t will face involuntary collections,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday. “The government can and will collect federal student loan debt by withholding money from borrowers, tax refunds, federal pensions and even their wages.
