This not your father’s democrat party. The blue collar worker has been eviscerated by the globalization monster. There one defense in a postwar America was to be for common working man. That no longer is the case. All of this skullduggery and lies of Biden being someone he never was has been a conspiracy supported by the MSM.
When I saw the movie “Being there” starring Peter Sellers I thought this satire was so fictionally absurd. It shows how a simpleton can be made to look like a genius while fooling the media and the public. How prophetic.
Help me understand why the VP and cabinet are not under intense scrutiny for not exercising the 25 amendment. We have had some very questionable military actions out of this administration (Russian natural gas pipeline destruction, Afghanistan surrender, use of US Navy to defend Israel from a bogus attack by Iran, the list goes on). I don’t want anyone in the current shape of our President to be involved in making any of these decisions. To have his unelected advisors making these decisions seems criminal in a democracy.
At Thursday’s debate Biden looked like he’d already been embalmed - ashen & dull! His usual ‘brought up from the basement / morgue’ look.
By next day, Friday’s appearance, HE WAS TANNED! Miraculously, Joe looked halfway alive.
So, let me get this straight. Trump’s fake tan is constantly ridiculed, you know, to quote Nellie + all the other “TDS” Democrats, “Trump is Orange Man Bad!”
Question. When will we hear, “Biden is Orange Man Demented?”
Sorry, Ollie. Calling Marine Le Pen's party "far-right" is a dodge. Yes, the New Popular Front is farther to the Left than Macron, but that hardly makes him a "centrist." Given the damage Macron and his fellow leftists have done to the French people, Le Pen is far closer to the center than he is.
Who has been calling the shots at the White House since January 2021?? Certainly not the big guy! And who called the shots from his bunker? And who is commanding the BLM army? And where will Antifa rear its ugly head next.
Oh, wait—they have changed their costumes and are now wearing PLO regalia.
Axelrod is right. Biden needed to drop out a year ago. But, here are. Weekend at Bernie’s.
We have roughly 4 years and seven months with Biden as our titular head of state. Should he win we may never see him again. We may never hear him speak again. The power structure will grind on with or without him. Think he has low ratings now? Wait till you see them in two years.
As for DJT? If he is elected his poll number will crater as well. He will not get an honeymoon. He will not get the benefit of the doubt. It will be resistance all over again. Should the Democrats get the House they’ll Impeach him. The GOP should vote to Impeach him.
We’re screwed. Hang on. Drink a lot. Eat an etible. Survive.
Democratic consultant describes Maryland Governor Wes Moore. “Yeah, he’s incredible, just incredibly well-spoken, well-educated—the whole deal.” I don't think the blacks who are deserting the Democratic Party will be fooled by "well-spoken" replacing the usual clueless-white-person habit of calling blacks "articulate," when they mean, "doesn't sound like a 'typical' black person, so..."
Oliver, I'd advise treading lightly when disparaging other publications as "house organs of the Democratic Party," as some of your commenters feel that way about The Free Press.
Remember when we heard that Trump didn't really start his Presidential day until late morning? And how we were supposed to be outraged by that? Did Trump not do his 30 hours per week like Biden apparently does?
We are fucked! Read the article below and tell me we aren't fucked. On one hand we have a corrupt senile idiot who prosecuted his political opponent and on the other we have a mad man who wants to set up military tribunals to prosecute anyone who pissed him off.
This scares the hell out of me. What have we become?
I followed that link and found that the web site is far left and given to distorting rightists' statements to reinforce leftist fantasies. In contrast, articles posted by The Free Press regular authors link to other's statements or other direct evidence, so that we get primary-source evidence. I recommend citing primary sources out of habit.
Re: "the Dems are finding themselves paying the price for not bothering to listen to the people.
So are the media! When Trump was elected in 2016, I was as shocked as anyone and hoped the media would take a hard look at themselves and conclude, “Wow, we have to do a better job getting in touch with the average American.” Instead, they only looked outward and said, “Wow, we have to do a better job getting the average American in touch with US.” So, they became advocates instead of journalists, and now have one of the lowest credibility ratings in the developed world. When the media chose to abandon its role as the Fourth Estate, they did more to undermine our democracy than either party.
Perhaps the media felt just like Hillary. The average American that they are out of touch with is deemed a "deplorable", and therefore there is no point in even talking with them.
You guys in the US don't *actually* live in a democracy.
Given that there have been at least two elections in recent times when the candidate for whom the majority of people voted for - that is those people who bothered to vote - did not actually win the election.
That is not a genuine democracy guys.
On top of that, the best that anyone can come up with to potentially lead a major Western country are two pale males who are so stale they would be mandatorily retired in any other sector in any other country.
Ever read American History 101, Bianca? We were founded as, and remain, a constitutional republic, with checks and balances, and with federalism (at least until the Left manages to destroy either or both).
Actually I see it as a more advanced democracy. If we did not respect the electoral college as our founders intended, presidential contenders would only have to campaign in the major cities. Leaving many states in a total lack of democracy and without ANY representation.
The US is a democratic republic. It’s not just a popular vote. Our founders ensured that one or two states with large populations would not hold the power of the presidency.
I would keep laughing if it wasn't so sad. Our founding fathers were not concerned about States with large populations. Remember, there was no California, Texas or even Mississippi. There was no midwest or Pacific northwest States. Mail was delivered by horse. Election results were by Delegate to ensure efficient running of the Country, not population parity.
This is incorrect. The founders were quite concerned about large vs small population provinces, and that is one of the lessons in basic civics courses and in books on the founding.
Here's another fun fact Gar. The word is Colonies. British Colonies who revolted against their King. They objected to the 4% tax that was used to fight King George's foreign wars, among other things. The power to elect a President was NOT given to Congress for fear of them becoming King makers. Which Colony did you assume to have the largest political influence. New York? Virginia? North Carolina? You're not from here, are you?
Except that the States were not ratified at the time the electoral college was established.. There was no population census. It was not a leveler of State populations, as you were told. Get a map, a copy of the Constitution, and Google some dates. Then think for yourself. The system was perverted into the cluster we have today, but that is in no way what it was devised to be. One vote for every citizen. Delegates were chosen by their neighbors, not a party.
Everyone knew which states were larger in population and which smaller. I can't believe you wrote "the States were not ratified..." That is astonishingly historically illiterate.

Oops, sorry…on social media but if this is what constitutes as both sides, I fail to see it. Perhaps I am just not looking hard enough
Wow, do you have anyone from the center that reads or at least writes comments? The hate and anger is scary to me. I have never been

Fauci failed just as badly with the AIDS epidemic as Covid. Joe should have read The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert Kennedy.

Charlie Kirk on Megyn Kelly just predicted that Biden will be replaced at the convention.
With "Dr." Jill Biden
Hey man, let her have her title. She had to go to school longer than physicians.
Hilarious.
The view from afar...

Good luck guys!

Better to stay quiet and let people think you're a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Tell it to a bunch of old white men 250 years ago.
