To be fair, that is the closest thing to a true statement she’s ever said as press secretary. His age does play a significant factor in whatever it is he’s got going on.

To clarify, he believes that there should be no floor to what an employer may pay you. Believes that by removing the minimum wage, it would put downward pressure on all wages, and that would be a good thing. (I assume you recognize that, but just want to make sure you know that he is in opposition to your viewpoint).

Apparently he’s always felt this way, even before retirement. Every single employer he had during my lifetime before he retired screwed him over big time, and somehow he believes that it is their right to do that. It makes zero sense to me.

Recently found out my dad opposes the minimum wage. He’s always the final panel though so I don’t know why I was so shocked to find out. Still, seemed like a new low.

Isn’t one of the items beef? The thing that’s hurting so many farmers who are already pissed about buying Argentinian beef? He sure likes to rub it in his supporters faces how little he cares about them.

When has Oasis been considered working class? Jacobin rolling in with the bad takes these days.

There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

She should not be able to walk down the street without constant reminder of making this statement about victims of sex trafficking. Absolute monster of a person.

Everywhere except the dems in congress.

Both VA senators saw the statewide sweep and thought to themselves, ‘nope can’t have that.’ What a rug pull.

Edit: I thought the list at the top was definitive, Mark Warner has come out Against the bill, although that’s probably only because they agreed he gets to sit out since he’s up for re-election next year.

Edit- are you seriously saying we need clarification on him asking why a race doesn’t tip?

Seems pretty obvious. He’s admitted to making racist, anti-semetic, anti-gay, and anti-trans statements. And yet he refuses to back down after admitting to all of that somehow shows his ‘character.’

The guy has a litany of reasons to not support him, or trust him. A pile of reasons to think he is of bad character and morals. But ‘he tells it like is,’ so y’all refuse to condemn him. Sounds like Trump supporters to me, always denying his previous transgressions and saying you believe he’s gonna turn it around.

Lol, white guy refusing to back down after being caught out as a bigot, ‘character.’

He’s a cis-white male, and unfortunately both sides of the aisle have no issue, or are willing to overlook, bigotry as long as cis-white males continue to be protected.

I know he’ll just ignore it anyway, I’m just referring to the fact that he has veto power to override a resolution on cancelling tariffs at all. Although I’d imagine it’s really that congress is just ceding the power in the first place, but having legislation about tariffs being something that can be vetoed seems like a dumb idea.

However, House Republicans have passed new rules that allow leaders to prevent such resolutions from getting a vote in that chamber, and Trump could veto the legislation even if it did clear Congress.

Ignoring the issue of the House being unwilling to pass it, how can the President veto a resolution on tariffs when that is a duty of congress and not the executive? He shouldn’t be able to impose them in the first place, but it’s legal for him to block their cancellation? Amazed this country lasted as long as it has.

Has to put out a retraction to a briefing that starts with ‘It is undisputed…’ 🤦‍♂️

The fact of the matter is Bernie has always been weak on race issues. He botched the BLM protests in 2016 and has never had sufficient outreach to the Black community. I don’t think he’s a bigot at all, but he doesn’t seem to understand that there is more than class war. To dismiss the concerns of the Black community in America as being just part of a larger class war is incredibly insensitive. All classes of white people have marginalized POC in this country repeatedly throughout its history.

I love Bernie, but this is a major flaw of his. In 2016 it was somewhat understandable as he is from Vermont and was kinda blindsided by everything, but he still has not progressed on this issue and I don’t think either he or enough of his supporters get how off-putting it is to these communities.

The election is one year away and over six months until registration for the primary ends. There is zero reason to stick with someone that has this many red flags. If he manages to win the primary, he will all but guarantee another Collins victory, because its real easy to write attack ads against this guy.

You know how Bernicrats always get smeared as being low key bigots? This doesn’t help with that image. I have seen multiple POC and jewish people on bluesky lamenting the fact that Bernie’s supporters are known for purity tests, but the cis-white male with a nazi tattoo gets a pass. That’s the image that is being conveyed to the public at large. There’s just no way to come back from having a nazi tattoo when running as a democrat in this day and age. And ‘I got it covered up once everyone found out’ is not an answer that is going to fly for the majority of people out there.

This isn’t the DNC going against him, Ken Martin supports him, Bernie still endorses him, he was all over CNN like a month ago as the exciting outsider oysterman who tells it like it is. And then it came out he has a nazi tattoo. So much of the general public turned on him. Some reporter said that when polling dem senators about it, they all said the tattoo wasn’t an issue, and still think he’s good for engagement. It isn’t them going against him, and most news articles are still going soft on him, and using his phrasing to describe it. But the general public hears nazi tattoo and, rightfully, wants nothing to do with him.

This is to ensure that we won’t. Only the enforcers in this govt are being paid right now.
