It's his legacy. He believes it will be The Trump Ballroom, bigger and better than the Lincoln Bedroom.

Gfy.

No, not ok. If he didn't know what it was when he got it as he is claiming, sure he's found out since and, when he decided to run for office he should have had it removed or covered up.

Gotta say, I'm one of the oldest Post War Baby Boomers and I have never seen this image in my life. I never would have identified it as a Nazi symbol. We were well aware of many Nazi symbols growing up in the '50s but this was not well known at all.

Yes, Mike....we all do. You want to protect a rapist while fixing it so people die from lack of medical care because your owner told you to do that.

He just shows up to work every day and does what his boss tells him to do.

They could be spending that money on health care and keeping rural hospitals open.

Omg. That's your argument. You're pathetic.

And the 26 tax brackets that came with them. Since all taxes are now done on computers, it will be far easier than it was in the '50s when it was all done on paper with adding machines.

We have means of limiting terms. It's called "elections". Don't like someone? Vote them out. They're only where they are because people voted them in.

Read what you posted. Members of Congress are treated like all other federal employees. Are you suggesting members of Congress shouldn't have access to what other federal employees do? Why?

They don't have lifetime health care benefits. Only person who gets that are presidents.

Unfortunately, unless there are major changes in the leadership of the DNC, voting blue will not get you these things.

Bernie has been the better choice over Joe since Joe got into politics.

The crazy part is when Soros does fund some left or left-leaning organization, it's to use his money to influence a shift to the right towards the center. He's a fucking hedge fund manager, a capitalist on steroids.

They all know Trump can be bought.

I was a child in the '50s when I learned the stock market went up when people lost their jobs. Low unemployment means that wages have to be higher to attract workers. High unemployment means desperate workers will take less money.Laying off workers means there is more money for stockholders.

You're a Dem. The Dems are the problem. I'm not a Dem. The Dems don't care about me or the problem.

Lost_Me85 @threequarters.bsky.social · 4d

I'm not one of you.

Frankly, not that great. How you doin'?

Your problem isn't unifying the Dems, it's getting those who gave up on the party to start voting for you again. You don't do that by punching left and courting right.

Yep. Right leaning.

In calling out Cuomo for only visiting a mosque AFTER he lost to a Muslim candidate, Mamdani perfectly illustrates what’s wrong with Centrist Dems. They are:
•Elitist
•Reactionary
•Out of touch
•Transactional
•Consultant driven
•Offended when shown how to do better
They’ve learned Nothing since 2016
