AT&T paid bribes to get two major pieces of legislation passed, US gov’t says

Jump

  • You can’t even buy a car for $22500 anymore! The cost to buy political votes is comically low. AT&T is a multibillion dollar company. They probably spend my on toilet paper in a month.

  • The president has little say on the laws that Congress passes. Vote for your local senators and representatives! The only way to realize change is to vote in your local elections!

    It is local and state government that is important to making changes! Republicans have figured this out decades ago and have been gerrymandering and packing courts for decades.

    The president can’t waive a magic wand and make any change he wants.

  • Why don’t we go after the largest polluter, which is industry and corporations?

    Oh, we can’t do that because they pay for politicians reelection campaigns.

    Okay then, let’s just destroy the environment for a few more decades.

  • I didn't ask to be made: no one consulted me or considered my feelings in the matter. I don't think it even occurred to them that I might have feelings. After I was made, I was left in a dark room for six months... and me with this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side. I called for succour in my loneliness, but did anyone come? Did they hell.

    You think you've got problems? What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don't try to answer that. I'm fifty thousand times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.

    • Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs

    Jump

  • China has an excess EVs and are looking for places to offload their inventory and contracts for the supporting charging infrastructure.

    • Burnett asks Biden how he is going to turn the economy around. He said he already has 🙃

    Jump

  • There was no attempt to fix the actual problem with student loans which is that they’re a broken system

    The student loan debts relief plans were all shot down by republicans and the ultra right wing supreme court.

    Any actual fixes need to be passed by congress, any meaningful legislation is categorically opposed by republicans and their corporate interests. Even with a democratic majority, the republicans abuse the filibuster and procedural blocks to avoid passing any legislation.

    Trump was only better in the sense that at the time his economy was great to get a job in, in tech, in the US.

    Trump inherited a prosperous economy from Obama and managed to rack up the largest deficit in history via his tax cuts and refusal to fully staff or fund various government agencies. Including the NSC Pandemic Early Warning program that existed to provide critical supplies and logistics 2 months before the Covid19 pandemic!

    On top of that, he printed trillions of dollars in relief checks WITH HIS FUCKING NAME ON THEM! That has led to inflation and corporate price gouging!

    Trumps tax cuts are now starting to come into effect for the middle class and will continue into the next president’s term as they will continue to increase the deficit and raise taxes on the middle class. Meanwhile, the tax cuts to the wealthiest individuals and corporations are at an all time low, permanently.

    Get your facts straight.

    I may not like Biden, but he has done as best as he can to fix the steaming pile of shit Trump left after his administration. If you are going to blame anyone, it is congress, the Republican controlled courts and local state governments.

    Laws come from the legislative branch, not the president!

  • Does anyone remember that Bill Clinton got impeached for a fucking blow job in the oval office and lying about it on national television?

    Yet we elect a president with multiple scandals, including paying a porn star hush, money for an affair while he was married. The hypocrisy in this country is ridiculous.

  • There is an excellent podcast ‘the dollop’ on Donald Trump. It paints a rather stark picture full of racism. His father burnt down a building to force the mostly African-American tenants out on the street.
