man has to be grandstanding at this point, what kind of jurisdiction or legal basis does he have here

 

[rexanglorum]

It’ll never happen cuz that age group is one of the core groups him and republicans attack…The rest of the MAGA base wouldn’t like them getting any luv or attention, to them young folks are all lazy, “woke”,weird liberals who don’t deserve or need any help…especially help to buy a crib or pay rent, that’s a “handout” in their world

They haven’t tried to get the young vote for years

It’s unlikely he’d even take on this issue because his base is pretty hostile to younger voters. But those old people did like Tucker Carlson’s show and Tucker talked about how the “good” young people, can’t buy a house despite having NOT studied women’s studies or liberal arts in college.

He’s unlikely to do it but it would behoove him to do so. The old, reactionary people will be with him regardless and he could pick off some votes.


BTW, it always funny to me when people with marble statues in their avatar, claim that liberal arts are this silly fluff major. Like dude, you’re pretending to have some knowledge of Latin and European history, but you think the liberal arts is about teaching people to be liberals.

Justices in Wisconsin Order New Legislative Maps

The ruling, coming just months after liberals gained a 4-to-3 majority on the State Supreme Court, could undo gerrymanders that have given Republicans lopsided control of the State Legislature.

Wisconsin's gerrymandered maps have been stuck down

Fellas this is why voting in your local elections matter. It took us voting locally to get the majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court to do something about these illegal maps. Hopefully we stay the course on North Carolina to do the same thing

GOP would be smart to move on from Trump and ride another candidate
Also, I imagine Trump stinks like a mix of stale cheeseburgers and ketchup with a hint of sweetness from all the candy he eats. A sickening mix for sure

Why are they so laser focused on abortion rights? Every headline I see has to do with abortion.

Stock market is up, employment is down, still mass shootings going on… what else are they going to say to “energize their base”?

He’s a Zionist why would he apologize?

[DLF]

He’s a Zionist why would he apologize?

Also who cares if he apologizes? We have to vote for him. Bc if we don’t then Trump will win and he will rape all of us. One by one. He will order mass executions in the street by way of hangings. He will cancel football and basketball and the internet

 

[Mark Antony]

Oh he's fine, boys will be boys. Get Biden's old self out of here though!
