Exiles. maybe a small percentage...lot's of folks fleeing poverty, oppression, famine etc. "Give us your tired, your poor...". I guess the revolutionaries were exiled by Great Britain. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/01/the-story-behind-the-poem-on-the-statue-of-liberty/550553/

Hear! Hear! https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/07/04/progressives-celebrate-fourth-of-july-00104547 But highlighting the hypocrisy and violence is also incomplete. For one, it makes it easier for the right to caricature our beliefs and commitments. But more importantly, failing to articulate our complex feelings of grief and belonging is also an injustice to the reality of how much we feel and care about the future of this land. And while many of us may be uncomfortable with flag-waving nationalism, we do live the values and civic ideals that embody love of country. We are tied to this place we call home. And while many of us also have diasporic and transnational ties to other people and places we love, belong to, and care about, this does not diminish our sense of connection and love that we feel to this place — to local communities and even to nation. btw, very comfortable with flag waving nationalism.

Yes, that's going to be the choice for voters, hopefully. He won't be in jail before the election imo. You think he will? Do you understand what self pardoning means? -

If the choice is jail or the presidency, I know which I choose...there is some question about self pardons -

psst...we want trump in the race. We just want him appropriately scourged before it. Jail can wait. -
I self identify as upper middle class. If you want to label me as the other, that's your problem. It's a highly class stratified society and culture, by design. Always has been. Most of us know where we stand in that regard. Clearly not the most important attribute to humanity but very important in US culture. What? are you a socialist???

Poyer Charity Golf Tournament is back on
Joe Ferguson forever replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
premises: Poyer is a highly paid NFL star Poyer planned a charity golf tournament at a trump course trump is extremely politically divisive among the US population his tournament Sponsor bailed New sponsor tied to trump Conclusion: This tournament was at least in part and likely mostly, politically motivated. directly answering your question: It would be much easier and more financially efficient to run a very successful fundraiser at a nonpolitical site. I believe Poyer had ulterior motives quite possibly including a retirement in politics...and no, I was working 70-80 hour weeks before age 35 and for many years after. -
so why are the elite wealthy and the "idiots who think they are part of the elite wealthy", D's? Are they willing to pay big money to pose as altruists or maybe they just prefer the D's ideology to the R's...maybe they have more powerful consciences...especially in the time of trump...? I'll ask again, which states are paying the majority of the country's bills? red or blue? and when you look it up and find out, ask yourself if those are rich or poor blue voters in those states. But, at least, we've finally removed the window dressing and gotten to the authentic issues behind MAGA, Jan 6, the big lie, defending a criminal that gave away/sold state secrets etc: socioeconomic status

except that voters knew Fetterman had a stroke. They watched him debate and he still won beating Dr Quack soundly.. Santos entire life is a lie. Walker has half the brains of Fetterman (or a squirrel) even after a stroke. -
not seeing many bridges being built.

Hey, I like what Vance is doing. Don't like that he misrepresented himself for the seat but he's taken some really positive stances. -

Boycott hollywood. turn off Amazon and Netflix and get the OAN and NRA channels somewhere. You done good...fine young man...tip of the cap This is a losing strategy. He's trying to out trump, trump. I'm optimistic that many DeSantis potential R voters are more moderate. That's where he has votes to pick up. And he works on being more homophobic. Just nuts
