Now that summer's here it's grape Kool-Aid time. It's unfortunate that such a wonderful beverage has become a negative meme for mindless indoctrination. You hit the nail on the head. I had a woman like that for 7th and 8th grade math! It's a miracle that I can even count to 10 today. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I do not think in Warren's case it has anything to do with "Not enough intelligent people in America..." Many, many voters are just sick to death of phonies. That's why Warren has no chance.

Vautrin Posted July 11 6 hours ago, TheCid said: You don't vote and are proud of it, so what does it matter to you? It really doesn't matter that much to me, but I've never understood the idea that if you don't vote you can't be interested in politics. One good thing about presidents is that, in most cases, they don't have much of an effect on one's personal life. Sure Trump is just a lying con man, which is what he has been his whole adult life, but on a personal level he doesn't effect my life all that much. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've read a couple different versions of exactly what was used. Some say just Flavor Aid, others say both were used, though I hope that even Jones was not demented enough to mix Flavor Aid with Kool Aid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted July 17 Rogue WH Snr Advisor @RogueSNRadvisor 5h5 hours ago Elizabeth Warren is the best candidate for President that we have seen in this country in years. That she isn't leading polls in a landslide speaks to the depth & depravity of the establishment class. A truly inspiring person & politician. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the Dem party is run by those with little depth but a lot of depravity. This is why Trump will win again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the Republican Party is a smooth sailing ship? Sure at the moment they are unified but only behind a nut job and a wacko hard core base. And there are a heck of a lot of real conservatives who have left the party because of Trump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But back to this tweet; to me it looks like it was written by a conservative since it knocking the Dem party establishment. I assume 'establishment class' means Dems like Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

Vaudeville died as soon as everyone could see those routines in the movies over and over again. trump's tired old routines no doubt will work with his limited base, but they're just boring and dull to even hear about over and over again. He has been so outrageously low that I don't think he's going to impress people anymore with his hateful antics. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dargo Posted July 18 Is it only me, OR does it seem to anybody else that EVERY damn time this woman finishes a sentence, it looks AND sounds as if she's about to cry? Sorry Liz, but evidently you haven't heard sounding like a damn WIMP doesn't and pretty much never HAS "sold well" in these United States. And YEAH, even THOUGH you might have some "inner strength" in there. (...remember here: In politics, and ESPECIALLY in TODAY'S political environment, "PERCEPTION is everything"!)

mr6666 Posted July 18 Elizabeth Warren's new plan targets Wall Street and private equity 'vampires' "....In an extensive plan released two weeks ahead of the second round of Democratic presidential debates hosted by CNN, Warren is calling for the reinstatement of a modern Glass-Steagall Act, which would wall off commercial from investment banks, new restrictions on the private equity industry, and legislative action to more closely tie bank executives' pay to their companies' performance. ......... Backlash from the financial industry would be an added bonus for Warren's campaign, which is keen to remind primary voters of her long record of opposing deregulation and supporting stricter rules on the big banks and other corporate lenders. The plan arrives as Warren climbs in most public polling of the 2020 race, ............. Warren writes. "To raise wages, help small businesses, and spur economic growth, we need to shut down the Wall Street giveaways and rein in the financial industry so it stops sucking money out of the rest of the economy." .... https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/18/politics/elizabeth-warren-wall-street-plan/index.html 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted July 18 Elizabeth WarrenVerified account @SenWarren 6h6 hours ago Private equity firms want you to believe you’re not smart enough to understand their business model. But it's pretty simple: take over companies & loot 'em.
