Because he is not Kamala.?

He has attracted 65 % of the country including several well known democratic presidential candidates as well as one of the most brilliant minds of our times . So the real enigma, how and why are 35% of the country attracted to a candidate that cant speak , a candidate that hasnt received a single vote while running in 2020 primaries and now their appointed champion for 2024

Sure does make one wonder about people judgements ,

TDS is apparently quite a severe mental disorder

Which dinner? You mean the NYC Catholic Church-a-Ganza? Maybe cos he represents the state of NY in Senate?

I was asking Jonathan, but thanks SO much for your snarky response! I have my own opinion about these kinds of events, for example, the National Prayer Breakfast which Jonathan did such great reporting on, but it’s not worth my time to share that opinion with you.

Oops/ ouch. I didn’t mean to come off snarky Nancy E, meant my answer as sincere but I hope you got a better response off list from Jonathan.

I apologize then. Hard to “read” tone with the written word.

Ugh, 12 of 15 shitty electors in Michigan is awful. My gut tells me Benson (SoS), Nessel (AG), and Whitmer (Gov) won't let them get away with anything. They are a force to be reckoned with.

You of all people should know the proper name of that propaganda operation: it’s Fux News! Also, Bret Baier and the Fux News control room together collaborated in concealing the “enemy within” clip and springing their preferred edit on Harris. Any fool can see that it was a planned ambush. How else could the clip have been ready to go spontaneously in their conversation at exactly their chosen moment? So Botox Pig Eyes’ confession of error is in fact missing the key piece of evil!

P.S. That recording also included the CEOs admitting that all the previous issues that led to higher prices have resolved and there is no justification for the high prices other than to dazzle their shareholders!

Great article and you don't really have to add negative comments about Joe Biden.

GREEDFLATION is the primary reason most people don't believe that imflation is down. Robert Reich is the only journalist here who addressed it and that was some months back. Corporate America is raising prices on food and other necessities because they can! Ari Melber played a recording, also more some months ago, with CEOs bragging about impressing their shareholders with higher prices and justifying it by stating that consumers will pay those higher prices. They also said that they do it because THEY CAN!

Why isn't this a bigger deal, covered relentlessly and pounded into our consciousness???

Why. - because it is nonsense like all of RR ranting. A grocery works on a 3% margin. They cannot “get away with it “ the consumers have choices where to shop. Did you notice the Long Shore-men dock workers. Recieved a 60% pay raise ? Anything they touch will increase in price.

And throwing a additional 10-15 million more mouths to feed , bodies to cloth and health care they need ? That creates shortages and demands on everything . Cost of rents , housing , hotels are sky high ?

Supply and demand Pretty basic stuff

LETS GO BRANDON !

Inflation is caused by printing too much money chasing a limited amount of good . That all. Inflation on a yearly basis has moderated temporarily but the 9 -10 percent is baked in to the entire chain . ( sticky Inflation ) . Still major supply chain issues as well.

Blaming “ Greedy corporations “ is nothing mote than scapegoating ..

suggest a few courses in basic ecomomics

What would corporations do without shareholders to brag to about raising prices without consequences supposedly built into the mechanisms of capitalism?

What would pension plans/endowed NFPs/retired individuals do without corporate stocks?
