Thank you to both Waj and Mike for an in-depth, fascinating discussion. In spite of a lack of sleep.

I just subscribed to Mike because I want to better understand why a brilliant former US attorney for the state of New Mexico, half Chinese half Hispanic man Alex Uballez did not do better in the election for mayor of Albuquerque. 2 whitey whites are in the runoff now. My take on this is that New Mexico is one of the most greedy classist bigoted states in the US. Pay to play with private equity, oil and gas and AI is pervasive here. NM is a blue state but a centrist bullshit blue state. We could be spending our huge sovereign wealth to break away from O&G and fully support solar power, but no our governor MLG makes deals with corporations for polluting water guzzling NOT green energy solutions.

Don’t forget Adoph scapegoated the Jews for the collapsed German economy. Trump Regime will blame brown immigrants.

Why would any non MAGA human ever give MTG a pass? Trumps Lap Dog has been licking his ass for 10 years! She doesn’t want to have to get a real job. She has been grifting America 🇺🇸 forever! Her and Trump are two birds of a feather.

She is a bird; he is a bird. “She and trump are two birds of a feather.”

Diversity is our super power. We must leave no one behind. Mamdani offered truth, trust & transparency. Cuomo was backed by the CEO of Palantir & some of the billionaires. Palantir holds the ICE contract. When trump endorsed him, that was the kiss of death. I'm old enough to remember telling GHWB he lost because, 'It's the economy, stupid.' Now Democrats must embrace the southern strategy for the blue wall. However, I think the 'rust belt' is still blue wall number 2. No one wins all the swing states. That defies all statistical probabilities. '24 election was rigged. Among other things, there was a hack in the software at the tabulator level There was a US Treasury report that came out Dec 31, 2024, by Biden EO. There was election interference by Russia, Iran (Iranian Revolutionary Guard), AI involvement "with US BASED FACILITATORS."

Yes! The 2024 Presidential Election WAS RIGGED! It’s a 100% impossibility that a candidate can win All 7 swing states. Trump admitted to cheating 2X on national TV. Musk rigged the tabulators adding votes for Trump. What more proof does a person need? There needs to be a forensic autopsy done on the 2024 election. Now! We have an illegitimate President in power who is destroying our country and economy. People will needlessly die as a result. Get the Orange pedophile out of the Oval Office before this happens and release the Epstein/Trump files!

We should have Medicare for All, or something even better. We pay taxes for services that impact everyone—armed forces, airports, police, feeding the hungry—we should have national health.

It is our only power atm

We should have free, tax paid, Medical care for all. Health care should not be a capital venture.

I agree. I think that's what Putin has been leading Rump to do, like he did in Russia! Use US laws against them!
