I am sure the leftists will be angry again with what the president said

Clearly overcompensation to deflect from talking about Hustard's ass.
But, this is the President of the US and the man Raumdeuter voted for 3 times.
Imagine any child watching this.

I live there and bought it for $3.76 for premium

The unleaded is even cheaper

You know nothing and are too thick to know
Yes, because there isn't a thing called Gasbuddy.
But, good to know that living somewhere actually does matter.
You'll be back to arguing differently tomorrow depending which emotional position your emotional mind is trying to defend.

Anyone can go on Gasbuddy and search cities in Texas to see the lowest reported prices.
FYI, data doesn't care about your emotional self.

You are probably to thick to get it

Tell me why the minimum wage in Manhattan should be same as in Oxford Mississippi when the standard of living are vastly different

Why should the FG mandate Mississippi to pay same as New York and what are the risk to Mississippi economy if they adopt New York rate
It shouldn't be and it never will. MA even sets its own minimum wage.
But, statisticians in the Federal government should set a minimum federal living minimum wage taking into account the standard of living in every state and a minimum wage where corporations like Walmart aren't abusing the system, paying low wages to employees because the Federal government picks up the difference in Welfare while state governments don't care because states like MA and NY send more of their tax dollars to support those welfare payments.

That is what good, logical policy sounds like, not the 1 line sound bites that sustain you and Republicans throw around.

I bought premium gas for $3.76 yesterday
And the lowest price in Dallas, Austin or Houston today via GasBuddy is 3.88 at Costco which you have to pay a membership fee to get.

Your illiteracy on evonomic matter is astounding

We do not need the Federal govt to increase minimum wage. Let states handle it according to the standard of living of their state. Manhattan New York came decide its minimum wage is $50 per hour because of the standard of living there while Nowhere Alabama can decide its $7 an hour due to the standard of living

The govt putting any arbitrary number will either not be enough for folks in expensive places or kill businesses in poorer places

Why will a Manhattan in New York have the same wage as a Oxford Mississippi

The minimum wage that keeps you poor in New York will give you a middle class life in Alabama

Moreover minimum wage jobs are mainly for young people just starting their lives.
Yes, because $3.76 is sustainably different than $4.13 to someone making $7.25 and hour and changed the thrust of the point I was making.
Jesus...
Like a brick wall talking.
Just rambling emotionally.

Not being part of the team was why Democrats kicked out Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin

What were the policies these people supported that made them Republicans in the first place? And how many of these policies would be upheld by Talarico

Is it small govt, lower taxes, energy independence by drilling more oil, is it keeping the conservative majority in the supremely court

Being a Liberal and espousing the liberal policies already disqualified you
You never know what you are talking about, yet keep talking.
Sinema ran on certain policies and changed them once she was elected and was also a terrible human being.
So unlike playing team sports, Dems dumped her.
Just like they'll dump Fetterman.

Dems get rid of the terrible people in their party.
They don't reelect them.

raumdeuter:
We do not want a federal minimum wage. States should determine their own minimum wages since the standard of living of the state. A $20 wage might not move the needle in New York while its too much and unrealistic in rural Mississippi
Just so you understand who and what Raumdeuter believes and how nonsensical the things he says are?
The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.
For people under 20: $4.25 per hour (for 3 months).

I bought gas for $4.13 a gallon on Sat. The gas prices are similar throughout the country.
My car takes around ~20 gallons of gas. For aorund ~$82
So, someone would have to work 11.25 hours or 1 and half days (8 hour days) anywhere in the country on a Federal minimal wage to afford a full tank of gas for their car.
But they can't so that person has to get on Welfare, that tax payers supply, to be able to afford life.
So, what happens is that WE end up subsidizing the business by allowing them to pay minimum wages like Walmart employees.
And what does that sound like?

But this is the Republican party and who their voters are.
That's why they spend so much time on social issues hoping their voters don't understand the actual policies they support.

Mike Rogers: What had happened was...

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

This should have been done months ago.
The media treats the elections as horse races while not doing their role of reporting news with context.

The way Kamala won because some republican like Liz Cheney and her family supported her like Adam Kinzinger, like the Bush family

Cornyn as imcumben after spending 100m on attack ads on Paxton lost by 30points

The question you should ask those "Republicans" which of the core policies you believe in as a Republican will Talarico support and vite for in Senate?
Is it a conservative nominee to the Supreme Court or tax cuts or what

The same Republicans who always preached party unity, the same Republicans that others held their noses and voted for into office cannot do the same for a republican but will vote for a Talarico who they dont agree with a single policy
Here are Talerico policies. Name one an average Texas wouldn't agree with.
Btw, you are the same person who voted for Trump who said he would enact Tariffs and Americans wouldn't pay for them and they wouldn't be inflationary.
It seems you don't even understand the things you say you support.

Economic Policy & Labor
• Taxes: Proposes repealing tax cuts for the top 1% and redirecting that revenue toward middle-class tax relief, closing corporate tax loopholes, and cutting taxes for small, local businesses.
• Wages & Benefits: Advocates for raising the federal minimum wage, expanding overtime pay, and rebuilding labor unions.
• Cost of Living: Supports canceling medical debt, capping credit card interest rates, assisting first-time homebuyers, and cracking down on algorithmic pricing or corporate single-family home ownership.
• Technology & AI: Proposes establishing an "AI dividend" for citizens, investing in human creativity grants, and regulating data centers that drive up utility bills and water usage.


Anti-Corruption & Campaign Finance
• PACs & Lobbying: Pledges to ban corporate political action committees (PACs) and super PACs, noting that he does not accept corporate PAC money.
• Ethics: Supports banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks, outlawing partisan gerrymandering, and enacting congressional term limits.


Education & Families
• Public Education: Calls for a major federal and state reinvestment in public schools, drawing on his background as a former middle school teacher.
• Social Safety Net: Advocates for universal childcare, paid family leave, an expanded child tax credit, protecting Medicare, and ensuring the wealthy pay their share to solvent Social Security.


Energy & Environment
• All-of-the-Above Energy: Aims to protect and grow Texas’s traditional oil, gas, wind, solar, and battery jobs while expanding into emerging clean tech like geothermal and hydrogen energy.

Kind of the post you write when you see Politics as a team sport.
Your argument seems to be, vote for a clearly corrupt immoral person and trust the clearly corrupt person to enact "Republican polices" you can't even name that benefit other people than himself when his track record has proved otherwise.

Post is a good ad for why the 2 party system should be eliminated.

PDPGuy:
I’m basing my prediction that Gregg Abbott will be reelected as governor of Texas, on the premise that establishment Republicans and MAGA like him much more than Paxton.

In fact, it’s believed that Talarico’s support base also includes some Republicans who absolutely despise Paxton, and wished that John Cornyn was the Republican nominee.
Texas is the state that I'm watching the most. Don't know much of the politics outside the fact they have a big Hispanic electorate.
I wonder if polls are accounting for the general anger in the Hispanic community.
Hispanic anger mixed with economic anxiety toward Trump and Republicans could be the tipping point even for Abbott.
Going to be an interesting night.

Listen to who these people in Michigan are voting for.
Listen to the answers El sayed voters give then listen to the answers Rogers voters give.
For Rogers voters they can't even say the reason in public because they all sound like they want to say because he is a "the Muslim equivalent of the word 'Ni**er'".
Just wild.

This is the Democrats for Rogers I believer Raumdeuter or one of these MAGA posted.
Of course she was paid $30,000 by the Rogers campaign.
Everything Republicans do is geared to fool their uneducated base.

Courts are supposed to decide cases based on facts, evidence, and actual legal disputes — NOT political hypotheticals.

The DOJ is trying to get ahead of an (Alaska) election result by asking a court to intervene over what MIGHT happen if Dan Sullivan loses.

What evidence proves voter confusion changed the outcome? Where is the demonstrated harm?

You don't get to treat a hypothetical as a proven violation and demand that election results be set aside before the votes are even counted.
The DOJ is just a political arm of the President now.

And this issue was already contested and went up to the Alaska Supreme Court.
I don't know how better they could have handled it. What is the solution, ban anyone with the same name as the incumbent from running?
Alaska also has ranked choice voting where if you're voting for Dan Sullivan you could list both 1 and 2.
The ballot also does a good job of differentiating the two candidates.

The bold sounds like what a terror lover will do to ask to purge press and police

You seem to have all the excuses for him, Is it because you are both terror lovers?

I am sure it was also unknowing that he brought a man to campaign for him who said America deserves 9-11 or his sister who claimed they are MB
Yes, because we all know that authoritarian regimes don't control the press and police. /s
You are basically supporting a dictatorship's control of hthe Media and use of police to crackdown on people.
But of course you are, that's what your Hero trump wants to do.


AdeDayo - a perfect representative of the Republican Party.
He throws around the world terrorism when facts and logic don't match what comes out of his mouth.
You sound like a very intellectual and reasonable person. /s

The Muslim Brotherhood isn’t universally a terrorist group. Some branches are, whilst some are not..

For example, The UK's parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, reported that the Brotherhood had not been linked to terrorist-related activity in or against the UK in the review it examined, while also noting concerns about its willingness to countenance violence in certain circumstances.

How in the world republicans are using the Muslim brotherhood to tie down Abdul is unimaginable..

But as we do know the GOP currently is filled with miscreants and useless people.. including its supporters.
I didn't even know that.

But the Republican propaganda reach is long.
I didn't know much about it till this whole El-Sayed thing.

In fact I thought he was a recent immigrant from Iran based on what I heard on the news about him until I saw the ad with his grandparents.
Was kind of a wakeup call to be about the negative stereotypes US media foster.
It's straight Islamophobia.

Dude was born in the US.
Grandparents are white as snow.
Captain of his highschool football team
Valedictorian of his University.
If he wasn't Muslim and his name El-Sayed he would be as American as Apple Pie.

If you can't call out Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence esp. of a 9-12 year old, you are a ghoul.
I see why Raumdeuter voted for him 3 times. Domestic Violence seems to be a punchline to him as well.

Rogers sister did not say their family are in the Moslem Brotherhood
Rogers mother did not claim to have been a lost standing member of the MB
Rogers did not write a letter professing that the MB suppress the press
Rogers did not campaign with a man who claimed America deserves 9-11

Abdul did all these and he is a terrorist sympathizer
You mean his biological mom who left him when he was 3 and who he had little relationship with?
And you mean the letter he wrote asking that the new Egyptian government to purge the press and police left over from the Mubarak dictatorship? We all know that dictatorships have free press. And it's the same government Rogers said the US should talk to.

But that's the problem with the US now esp. the Republican party.
People lease their brains to people who propagandize to them and can't think for themselves.
Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by IjeBos(m): 2:58pm On Oct 23
Looks like Rogers supported at least some members of the Muslim brotherhood and believed the US should talk to them.
I guess based on Rogers own logic, this makes Rogers a terrorist.

I love what I see...a favorite son, self made from absolute poverty to the middle class.

I love what I see...a FATHER of Black American children & HUSBAND of a Black Woman...neither of which you'll never ever accomplish.

I love being a Negro citizen of the USA....Hampton University graduate, working for and defending Black American interests.

Which is why I post with my real name, Ibezim Okehie, resident of Raleigh NC.

The irony is that everyone on this forum understands why you hate yourself, why you must remain anonymous and why you continually lash out with personal invective. There's nothing we can do for you. Go and pray and find peace.

Good Luck to Nigerians.
So you argument is that you are one of the good non white people who is not making the country go into the crapper?

IbeOkehie:
The people who made the USA what it is are fast becoming a minority so it's all going to the crapper anyway...unless they wake up and fast.
You seem to understand the word invective. You don't think this post above was invective?
You don't think using your lack of understanding of history to demean a whole swath of the population(non white immigrants) is invective?
I matched your invective with invective.

I don't do emotional posting.
I don't see having kids nor a wife as accomplishments to be hoarded over others.
I have sperm, I can have kids. And I'm smart, educated, thoughtful, good looking guy w/ money, I can have a wife when I choose.
But I'm proud that you are proud of what you have accomplished for yourself.

So, tell me what being anonymous or not anonymous has to do with you not hating yourself?
And tell me what everyone understands about me and why I must remain anonymous. Don't be shy. Don't allude to the invective. Be a man and speak it.

The truth is that you think people who look like you are a drain on the US because they are defective, they are a drain on society.
And you are the exception, the good minority, who went to an HBCU and made it into the middle class.
You are the special one and do to so, you spend your days reposting stories that make black people look bad.
That's a deep insecurity.
