    Rock bottom? Former president and current candidate said Chairman of Joint Chiefs should be executed for treason and entire Republican party is silent. Including those who know better. Because they are afraid of a tweet. Or a primary. Because they like tax cuts for the rich and right wing judges so screw democracy. Because they want to hang on to power at all costs while ceding power to the most unqualified person to ever hold the office.

    Media still trying to normalize Trump. How many front page headlines reporting threats against Millie? Zero? But Biden is old!

    Media reporting Biden and Trump both holding events with striking UAW. No. Biden walked picket line with UAW. Trump invited by management to hold campaign event at non union plant, sponsored by virulently anti union Right to Work Committee, invitation only so his little feelings won't be hurt by anyone who opposes him. Or supports unions.

    It isn't both sides.

    The sides are different, it's true.

    One side says:
    "Hey, you, I'm going to bend you over and fuck your ass!"

    The other side says:
    "I dropped a coin worth $1000 on the floor right behind you. Since I love and respect you so much, if you turn around, bend over and pick it up, it's yours!"

    And then they proceed to fuck your ass when you try to pick up the worthless penny.

    I initially read this and thought you were making a broad comparison of Democrats and Republicans. I thought it was brilliant in that context.

    Thanks. The interesting thing is, it can work both ways... depending on your perspective.

    But they are different.

    Largest Healthcare Worker Strike in US History Set to Kick Off on Oct. 4

    "We're burning ourselves out trying to do the jobs of two or three people, and our patients suffer when they can't get the care they need due to Kaiser's short-staffing," said one Kaiser Permanente worker.

    Next Stop for Most Retired US 4-Star Military Officers? Arms Industry C-Suites

    "The revolving door is a problem because it creates the appearance—and in some cases the reality—of conflicts of interest in the making of defense policy and in the shaping of the size and composition of the Pentagon budget."

    Even America's military leaders are owned by corporations...

    Does @Road Ratt ever check facts?
    The funds were allocated by Congress in 2019, during Trump administration. By law, money allocated by Congress must be used for the purpose for which it was allocated unless Congress votes to use the funds elsewhere. Biden asked Congress to reallocate the funds, Republicans blocked the request. He sought legal advice and was told under the law there were no other options. Even though he opposes building a wall and considers it wasteful and ineffective.

    But I guess someone really misses Trump. At least it sounds like it.

    Some people seem to be human news aggregators, they read some nonsense, don't stop to think or research it and just need to press the send button. Sad.
