Rep. Dean Phillips to meet with donors about challenging President Joe Biden

Phillips, 54, has been approached about a potential, longshot bid against the 80-year-old Biden after he and other Democrats called for a contested primary featuring younger candidates.
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

And that's a record, according to Mrs 99.

The establishment doesn’t wanna hear it, but any halfway charismatic democrat under the age of 70 stands a good chance of clowning Biden on a debate stage

Or, for they matter, any halfway non-ethnofascist pub might do it too

Wait, that matter, not they matter.

Sorry, I’ll take it to the pronouns thread.

The next election may be the last if the country favors right wing idiots.

I would have no problem with FISA 702 either being allowed to expire or to having it be rewritten and to have audits in place to make the government accountable for their use of it.

How they say it is supposed to work:

How it seems to be actually working:

https://www.aclu.org/issues/national-se ... n-702-fisa

I understand that we cannot handcuff the FBI and other law enforcement agencies in their pursuit of criminals who pose a major threat to US citizens but there has to be some sort of adherence to the rules that they write. If they simply followed their "how it is supposed to work", I think I would be fine. But there is clearly not enough accountability or punishment involved to force them to do so.

With all your whining about government overreach and stomping on our rights when it wasn't true, I'd think an example of when it was true would interest you.

As someone who doesn’t want Biden to win in 2024, I would think you’d want fundraising dollars spent supporting a campaign, not paying Trump’s legal bills for him.

Trump has been harassed relentlessly by his political opponents. Like him or hate him, we all know his legal issues is political overreach and abuse of power. Like this country has never seen before

That’s because this country has never seen a criminal like this before.

What is the Law And Order Party refrain? Don’t do the crime if you don’t want to do the time.
