    Every time I hear stories like this it reminds me of the efforts Dubya and Cheney have made to rewrite history because they’re associated with some of the worst people and decisions in American history. I don’t believe for a moment that he wasn’t just another yes man indulging Trump’s nonsense.

      I definitely think some of this is the case here with these stories. But the main takeaway should be how important it is to keep Trump the hell out of office again.

        I don’t think it matters much who we elect, at least if you’re a member of the poor and working class. It will be interesting to see the stats on how many people don’t bother voting this year.

            When was the last time the minimum wage went up in this country?

            Almost two decades ago, and 2/3 of the US states use that as the standard.

            So yes, if you’re poor or working class in this country, it doesn’t matter much who we elect.

              Oh I’m sure my mixed race marriage would be totally in jeopardy under Harris. I bet NOAA would get defunded by Harris. I’m pretty sure my immigrant in-laws would get deported under Harris. Oh and I’m for SURE my LGBT friends will be put in harms way by Harris. Climate, womens health, child rearing, education etc etc etc

                When you elect an opposition party that doesn’t actually oppose anything, every issue that concerns you is in jeopardy, yes. Further, I wouldn’t trust someone who built their career on locking up nonviolent drug users en masse to care much what happens to you or your family.

                They certainly don’t care about mine. My eighty-year old parents are driving for DoorDash, in a car I lent them, and that’s the only thing separating them from homelessness and starvation.

                  And Trump will increase their taxes, reduce Medicare, reduce social security blah blah blah. He has stated as much. Those I’m pretty sure will impact your parents.
