So I guess we (the govt) are now advantaging specific races. And disfavoring certain classes? As far as the first, white privilege seems less a factor but it's not gone. Especially in the deep south. The rich get richer is true and always will be in any political system.. Everywhere. There's nothing unique about that in America. These people want a do over. Aint happening. .. One's skills are highly valued, moderately valued or not valued just like in football. This is truly the crux of the discontent. Edited September 2, 2023 by Joe Ferguson forever

Exactly. So why is there extreme poverty and crime? And which groups comprise those involved? R's fight against programs that specifically target them for aid eg Universal health care, cheaper drugs thru gov't negotiations with big pharma, food stamps, welfare, medicaid, minimum wage. D's generally do the opposite. Some believe that it's cheaper to provide basics to the impoverished than to pay for the civil unrest resulting from it. Probably true especially if it comes out of the pockets of the uber wealthy.

B-Man Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 Twilight Of The Democrats During the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the Democrats were the party of the future. They were the party of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, who were sworn in as presidents at the ages of 46 and 47, respectively. Today, that seems like a very long time ago. Consider the new CNN poll. Three-quarters fear Biden’s age could affect his ability to finish another term. Nearly half of registered voters say any Republican presidential nominee would be a better option than Joe Biden in 2024. If Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee, 47% of voters would vote for him, and 46% would vote for Biden. While this difference is within the margin of error, CNN noted that they did not have a single poll in 2020 that showed Trump leading against Biden. Democrats were quick to defend Biden’s record. “He’s not getting credit for what I think is a fairly substantial list of achievements,” said David Axelrod, former senior advisor to President Barack Obama. Yet no matter how much Democrats try to convince the public that “Bidenomics” are working, 58% of Americans still believe that Biden’s policies have worsened economic conditions. Only 30% of Americans say things are going well in the country. It may be true that, on paper, Biden revived the economy, but the reality most voters experience is different. Prices are up 16.9% since Biden took office, real wages are down 3%, mortgage rates are at their highest in 22 years, and credit card debt has reached a new peak. It’s likely that the constant flow of money to Ukraine only worsens Americans’ fears that the president is mishandling the economy. With hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars going overseas, 500,000 Russian and Ukrainian troops killed or wounded, and no end in sight, the conflict has become the kind of nightmarish “forever war” that voters once associated with Republicans. For many years, Democrats insisted that they were the party of diplomatic solutions; today, they are eagerly sending depleted uranium rounds and internationally banned cluster munitions to Ukraine. Biden’s poor approval ratings are likely also influenced by the brewing scandal around his son. Over half of voters believe that the president’s actions related to the Hunter Biden probe are inappropriate, and 61% say they think the president was involved in his son’s business dealings. Indeed, there is mounting evidence that Biden’s Department of Justice is criminalizing the political activity of his enemies while shielding his son from real prosecution. {snip} The problem for Democrats is that they might have no one who can replace him. Kamala Harris is even less popular than Biden, and San Francisco is Gavin Newsom’s albatross. This is perhaps what is most damning about the current state of the Democrats: Biden may really be the best they have to offer.

B-Man Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 The Frightened Left Weaponizing impeachment is just one of many precedents that Leftists now would not wish to have applied to themselves By Victor Davis Hanson September 11, 2023 An impeachment inquiry looms and the shrieks of outrage are beginning. The Left is now suddenly voicing warnings that those who recently undermined the system could be targeted by their own legacies. So, for example, now we read why impeachment is suddenly a dangerous gambit. True, the Founders did not envision impeaching a first-term president the moment he lost his House majority. Nor did they imagine impeaching a president twice. And they certainly did not anticipate trying an ex-president in the Senate as a private citizen In modern times, the nation has not rushed to impeach a president without a special counsel investigation to determine whether the chief executive was guilty of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” But thanks to the Democrats, recent impeachments now have destroyed all those guardrails. After all, Trump was impeached the first time on the fumes of an exhaustive but fruitless 22-month, $40 million special counsel investigation—one designed to find him guilty of Russian “collusion” and thus to be removed from office but found no actionable offenses at all. Instead, dejected Democrats moved immediately for a second try. In September 2019 a few weeks after Trump had announced his 2020 reelection bid, the Democratic House began to impeach the president on the new grounds that he had talked to the President Zelensky of Ukraine and said he might delay offensive arms shipments—unless the Ukrainians could demonstrate that they had ended corruption and, in particular, were no longer influenced by the Biden family quid pro quo shakedowns. Trump was proven right: the Biden family is not just corrupt, but, in particular, Joe Biden as head of the family and Vice President had intervened in the internal politics of an aid recipient, by threatening not to delay but rather to cancel outright all U.S. aid to Ukraine—unless it fired Viktor Shokin, a Ukrainian prosecutor. Shokin was then looking into the misadventures of Biden’s son Hunter, and why the Vice President’s imbecilic son was receiving lucrative compensation on the boards of a Ukrainian energy company Burisma, yet without any demonstrable expertise or education in matters of energy policy. Since Trump was impeached, we now know that Joe Biden did lie that he had no connection with or even knowledge of his son’s business. And we know that the fired prosecutor believed the Bidens were recipients of bribes. We know that contrary to Biden’s assertions, he was not following State Department policy. But weaponizing impeachment is just one baleful legacy of the Left. There are plenty more of their own precedents that Leftists now would not wish to have applied to themselves: More at the link: https://amgreatness.com/2023/09/11/the-frightened-left/ . 1

To borrow an old recurring leitmotif of James Taranto, when he was writing the Wall Street Journal’s Best of the Web Today: ● “One man with courage makes a majority.” — attributed to Andrew Jackson. ● “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt. ● “The buck stops here.” — Harry S. Truman. ● “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” — John F. Kennedy.

The funniest part was the panicked handler desperate to get him away from the reporters, knowing this reaction wasn't going to go over well. The aide has more sense than does Sen. Fetterman. He grabs him and moves him away from the reporters saying that they had to get back to the office. He knows how bad that looks. Even if you're a Democrat and you want to defend Joe Biden, this just makes him look bizarre. 1
