Fresh Start Political Thread

Any reason he excluded Idaho and Montana from the wildfire summit today? Guess Biden only cares about blue state voters. Weird I was told different

Were you awake when "you heard"?

Trump Organization expected to be charged with tax-related crimes on Thursday (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-organization-expected-be-charged-tax-related-crimes-thursday-n1272711)

:laughing2

I mean, could this be anymore of a partisan move?

Trump busy getting down to access the border crisis which his administration had the lowest illegal crossing number in decades while in the first 4 months saw the largest single monthly figures ever. Criminals, terrorists, drug runners, all coming over

Trump forced Harris to actually go where she embarrassed herself again last week

A bipartisan infrastructure deal reached by President Joe Biden and a group of senators would not only add to economic growth, but also lower the national debt, according to a new study from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.

Researchers at the Wharton School said the additional $579 billion in new infrastructure spending would increase domestic output by 0.1% and decrease the U.S. debt by 0.9% by 2050.

“Over time, as the new spending declines, IRS enforcement continues, and revenue grows from higher output, the government debt declines relative to baseline by 0.4 percent and 0.9 percent in 2040 and 2050 respectively,” the Wharton team wrote.

Speaking to CNBC on Tuesday, Wharton senior economist Jon Huntley said improvements to public capital (roads, bridges and other physical infrastructure) makes private capital (trucks and trains hauling goods for companies) more productive over time.

I dont put too much stock into these future looking cost analysis/benefit things.

its a 1.2T package and will include bringing high speed broadband to the really rural places that dont have it. Which is great ... but I thought private companies pay and build the cable lines and thus "own" it and make their billions.

Internet and access to internet certainly seems to be a public utility nowadays.

On a related but unrelated note .. I always found it funny when rural conservatives attack the USPS for not being profitable .. its like homey, they would be if they werent forced to deliver to remote rural areas for $0.55. You want to privatize mail? okay ... well good luck paying the fed ex sliding scale rate.

Well if it conducted tax crimes then I have no problem with charging them. Lets see how this shakes out. I may be a bit jaded in this but would it surprise you if they did commit this type of crime?

Not a healthy environment’: Kamala Harris’ office rife with dissent


Reminder that Harris presidential run was a complete train wreck per the NYT Nov 2019:

What he has to give shout outs? I think California is obviously the main, and most populated state in such dangers, but if there is action, funding, support needed in any state rest assured Biden will treat them all equally. You are greatly mistaken if you think he would play politics when it comes to natural disaster and lives Chico. Again deflecting from your guy who actually did such things to someone else with no actual proof other than what “lack of mention” ? If push cane to shove you know damn well Biden would take care of any state in our country- even Puerto Rico. You are so desperate to normalize Trump. Lol.

Keep grasping for straws Chico. It’s hysterical watching you tread water waiting, clinging to the faint distant hope that this administration will stumble and crap their pants like the last. The gold medal for Unpreparedness, and crapping the bed is Trumps. There, see, I said he is the best at something.

Confusion grips New York City mayoral Democratic primary after vote 'discrepancy'

Got it. When you said Adams with a Trump like statement I was looking for something more crass. Sorry that's where my mind went.

Do agree it is not a good look which is a shame because I think this system would increase voting for third party candidates and a successful role out in NYC would be huge for democracy.

I think the big difference is that Adams comments were based on a known discrepancy acknowledged by the BOE. Trump made his accusation they were well documented and then taken to court where most were thrown out.

LOL, you do know how they nailed Al Capone?
