Buttigieg knows where many

Buttigieg knows where many disgruntled votes lie that will be easy pickings:

Fellow veterans take note: the President of the United States has formally confessed to illegally misdirecting charitable funds from an event he claimed was a benefit for veterans. How many more affronts to flag and uniform will we tolerate? https://t.co/ZyvEYoBV8D

Mitch McConnell on the GOP Tax Bill: “I’m totally confident this is a revenue neutral bill. Actually a revenue producer."

Who demeans the military?

Who demeans the military? Trump - any military person who disagrees with him, he insults. Certainly no valor in him, nor principle to the GOP that enables him & cheers him on. Surrendering our foreign policy to Putin & Erdogan & Mohammed bin Salman? Treasonous. Why did these vets bother fighting if all we were going to do was surrender anyway?

Sweden & Norway have done

In reply to OK, it's difficult to tell if

Sweden & Norway have done quite well mixing socialized redistribution with capitalist development. Germany even has a works council that requires workers to be part of the decision-making process, while also relying on heavy socialized redistribution (including a mandatory 10% tithing to the government for church members!)

Marx was German - I don't think he ever visited Latin America, nor St. Petersburg nor Beijing. Just because Latin America has a certain experience with implementing communism due to its Spanish colonialist past & societal structures doesn't mean that Marx & Engel's socialism is only a reference to the Latino version as played especially by Fidel Castro. And it's much more accurate to say Marx's ideas 150 yers after Das Kapital live more as an oft-misunderstood & maligned hedge to vulture capitalism than as an ideal Brave New World of its own.

Fuck that, you clown - the military is made up of normal citizens - not sacred like the goddamn deceiving right has made them, and if they deserve socialized benefits for any dangerous service, I will call them exactly that - socialized - and it doesn't demean them to hear the truth.

What a shitty propagandist you are.

And yeah, I benefited from some of these socialized benefits coming from a military family, and I know exactly how generous they were to those who risked everything and those who risked much less, while outside this socialized paradise real deserving people who often risked as much doing key jobs in our economy didn't get squat and lived and died painfully. So cut the 2-level citizenship crap - your precious Founding Fathers didn't put it in the Constitution (but they did make a note of choosing justices and treason and bribery and how to impeach those who partake & abuse - maybe refresh on those key sections)

Art, the truth about the dems

Art, the truth about the dems behavior, displayed every day by the dems for all to see, is an effective talking point for Trump while the deception and lies in the dem's talking points are fooling no one but the ideologically possessed.

A trillion dollars of deficit

In reply to I was pleasantly surprised

A trillion dollars of deficit spending a year would have had a much bigger economic effect if was given to the middle class instead of the super rich. Of course deficits don't matter if republicans hold the power. If a democrat is elected in 2020 suddenly republicans will get worried about deficit spending again.

In reply to I was pleasantly surprised

Well, once again, you will have to point to how that effect has occurred. If you have any conservative impulses, you will have to explain how the ballooning deficit with the the tax breaks really amounts to an advance in fiscal sobriety.
Your team seems to be riding around high on crack.

In reply to I'd guess 90% of Americans

I was pleasantly surprised when Trump's tax reform for the rich and deregulation produced such a quick and sustained boost to the economy. Perhaps the planets were in perfect alignment or his hacking off some of the tentacles that were sucking at our vitality helped. Ditching the TPP, pulling out of the Paris Accord, stopping the CPP, -replacing NAFTA, opening up new oil/gas leasing and especially taking on China under the banner of MAGA seems to have helped.

Military benefits are earned and part of national security and shouldn't be demeaned by calling them socialized.

Same talking point from Trump

In reply to It's an unsophisticated

Same talking point from Trump's mouth just now (at Louisina rally):

Trump: "Democrats are becomingly (sic) increasingly totalitarian. Suppressing dissent, defaming the innocent, eliminating due process, staging show trials, and trying to overthrow American democracy to impose their socialist agenda."
