BULLETIN: There is nothing Trump or any other Know Nothing, Do Nothing Repub can, will or ever has done to lower the cost of your rent, the cost of your mortgage, the cost of your food or the cost of gas except by way of their favorite and only result for every USA economy the American electorate was careless and foolish enough to allow; Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Massive Repub Jobs Destruction by any means necessary or opportunistically available.
Meanwhile, Biden / Dem hard work and legislation can, has and will continue to reduce corporate price gouging costs for Americans whenever and wherever they can:
J&J, Bristol Myers Squibb lose challenges to Medicare drug-price negotiations.
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/29/jj-b...ndroidappshare
A federal judge in New Jersey rejected Johnson & Johnsons and Bristol Myers Squibbs legal challenges to the Biden administrations Medicare drug-price negotiations, ruling that the program is constitutional.
The decision is another win for the White House in a bitter legal fight with several drugmakers over the constitutionality of the price talks.
The ruling also weakens the pharmaceutical industrys strategy of seeking split decisions in lower courts scattered across the U.S., which could escalate the issue to the Supreme Court.

Trump is ahead in the latest poll. Younger voters leave the Biden camp. James Carville has a meltdown:
"You little f**king 26-year-old, you don't feel like 'the election's important to me. They're not addressing the issues that I care about. '.
"My advice to tell these young people is to get off your motherf**king a** and go vote because you should vote like your entire future and the entire future of this United States depends on it because quite frankly, it does, and that's not an exaggeration. ".
End of link. Classic Democratic douche. I am smarter than you. The economy is better than you think. You were wrong to think you were better under Trump.
And there is more:
In the Biden vs. Trump matchup, the poll finds Biden faring worse than in previous CNN polls among the youngest voters, trailing Trump by a 51%-to-40% margin among voters younger than 35.
Dissatisfaction is starkly prevalent among those with lower incomes (67% dissatisfied in households with annual incomes lower than $50,000), people of color (64% say they are dissatisfied) and younger Americans (61% of those younger than 45 say they are dissatisfied).
On April 20, I commented People Who Rent Will Decide the 2024 Presidential Election.
Q: What is it that young voters really have on their minds?
A: Rent.
Many with rent as their top concern will switch to Trump. They are fed up with rising inflation. Rent is up at least 0. 4 percent per month for 30 months.
Young voters propelled Biden over the top in 2020. Things look very different today.
End of link.
Trump, blah, blah, blah, Qanon, blah, blah, blah, you dumb kids, blah, blah, blah, Fox News blah, blah, blah, Steven A Smith blah, blah, blah indictments blah, blah, blah.
That $100 billion sent abroad to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan could have paid for college for every American student or to health care or to builders so they could build more structures to help with rent. Or better yet, maybe you just quit with the money printing and let inflation and interest rates come down.
And all those anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian students marching does not help the cause does it Xpartan? Do you have anything to offer them outside of more dead bodies or calling them stupid or anti-Semitic?
Yeah, you got the sex case with Jean E. Carroll. You got the business case with the $454 million judgment and you are so going to have the Stormy Daniels illegal entry case. I am sure that guilty verdict is going to change everything. Right?
Do you have anything else? Because to me, it does not look like the young people are buying your BS.

Biden Revisits His Past in Interview With Howard Stern
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/26/u...ern-trump.html
In an interview with President Joe Biden, Howard says while he votes Republican most times, he will not vote for an idiot (in Trump), that wants to destroy DEMOCRACY.
With at peak viewership in late 2019 at around 35 million, that's a big boost for Biden, among white males. Howard Stern audience are upscale professionals. 74% of his audience are between 25-54 years of age with an average household income of $160k. 73% Male and 27% female. 34% college graduates, 85% white.
Howard Stern Thanks President Joe Biden for Making a Difference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxL1_K-bq2I
35 million listeners/viewers, with a clear unambiguous vote for BIDEN! Now that's some political sway.
Thanks Joe! Thanks Howard!

That fact that SAS himself, nor any of the articles mention, that black voters have historical voted with an avg. of 82-86%, is misleading, disingenuous and is not portraying the full story of how Black voters REALLY vote. The article(s) I presented, simply full-in-the-blanks and give readers the other half (the REAL half) of the Black voting behavioral patterns/history.
Don't forget SAS himself says he votes for Dems 95% of the time.
Yes, polls and polling have their uses and are nice to have, in order to gauge what "might" happen, but historical FACTS and FIGURES, will 100% always trump the inaccurate, inexact and often unreliable use of polls.

FUN FACT: Even though, Republican's very own investigations (spanning over a decade and examining over a billion votes) have turned up NOTHING, in the way of wide spread systemic voter fraud, they still yet push this bogus narrative of election fraud. Why you ask?
Well it really very simply. Republican's know, their base is stinking and hell is likely to freeze over, before they win at the ballot-box, or with populous vote, ever again. Therefore the only option is for Repubs to CHEAT, CHEAT and CHEAT some more. Oh, and while we're at it, be sure to also accuse our opponents of doing the same. You know, do a lot of projecting and thereby muddy the waters, as to who is really doing the cheating.
Why do Repubs, now choose CHEATING to win? Because CHEATING (and LYING) is the only game Repubs know they're good at and it's the ONLY WAY they now know, to beat the Dems.

From the hearing:
In one of the many hypotheticals the liberals tossed at Trump's attorney, Kagan asked what would happen if a president ordered the military to stage a coup. Could that be prosecuted under Trump's theory?
"If there's no threat of criminal prosecution, what prevents the president from just doing whatever he wants?" Jackson said. "I'm trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the Oval Office into the seat of criminal activity in this country. "
These are two great questions from liberal Democratic judges. SCOTUS is doing its job untangle the politics from the idiotic DC ruling. I am complimenting Dems here.
Alito went as far as to suggest that denying ex-presidents immunity would discourage peaceful transfers of power, because outgoing presidents who lost hotly contested elections would not want to depart peacefully if they were concerned they'd be prosecuted by their political rival.
To those of us with a brain, this is a valid concern and yet to douches like you Spidy who only care about your SS check, it is blasphemy. Alito is Fox news watching, biased pond scum when he is asking a good question and doing his fucking job.
An attorney offers this assessment of the questioning.
I listened to the entire argument. The Court will reject Trump's absolute immunity argument. Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett crapped all over that idea.
But the Justices don't like the DC Circuit approach. There is a principle of limited immunity for official acts obviously, never applied in the Presidential context but applied to protect officials from criminal suits involving allegations of violations of citizens' constitutional rights. Kavanaugh and Roberts supporting him, seem inclined to apply that principle here. (Barrett seemed like she was torn as to whether to do that or join the liberals.). That will require a preliminary fact-based hearing to determine which acts were "official" and deserve limited immunity and which acts are private and get no immunity. I feel pretty confident that's what will happen here. Barrett would be the sixth vote. Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas might go for absolute immunity, but that doesn't matter, as the deciding votes determine the remedy.
So, that's what's going to happen. This means no trial before the election. But Judge Tanya Churkin, who controls her own calendar, will follow the SC's mandate and conduct a fact-based preliminary hearing to determine which acts were official and which were private.
Trump did not get everything he wanted, but he did get the most that could be realistically expected.
The fact finding mission and subsequent delays men there will be no more trials before the election.
So yeah, the Democratic members of SCOTUS will vote against Trump, there is no reason for them not to, but they know presidents need some degree of immunity. Quite frankly, seeing how this was always about preventing Trump from being elected, there will probably be no new lawsuits.
And the whole Democratic lawfare strategy has blown up in the face of Democrats. In reality, not only is SCOTUS not corrupt, they seem to be the only court room that is not ridiculously partisan. Like I have said before, we do not have a DOJ. We have a DDOJ, a Democratic Department of Justice.

As for why the restrictions, you know damned well why. Because that is where the cheating is!
Google has done a pretty good job of wiping out what happened in 2020 as has duckduckgo, but it is still there if you look hard enough. https://rumble.com/vbvwfd-ep.-32-ele...am-nov.-4.html.
You can go the 17 minute mark on this video and see for yourself. It is amazing how black voters were more excited to vote for Biden than Obama but only in swing states. Boy the blacks turned out in droves in Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta, Phoenix, and Nevada, but for some reason, they had below average turnout in other places. Gee, I wonder why.
And then there were 100,000 ballots miraculously where the only person voted for was Joe Biden. That only happened in contested states but in uncontested states, and Biden won by 44,000 votes in Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin, which separated him from Trump in the Electoral College.
Democrats got away with this crap in 2020 but it is going to be MUCH harder in 2024 to cheat. That is why you have to do this lawfare bullshit.

But, absolutely, the line of questioning by those 6 genius Repub-appointed Justices strongly suggests they have totally bought the loony Trump / QAnon MAGA premise that Trump gathering and inciting a violent cop-killing mob of insurrectionists to storm the Capitol, search out his VP to publicly hang him, shoot or kidnap the Speaker of the House, overturn a free and fair election and overthrow American democracy while Trump sat on his fat ass for 3 hours doing nothing except enjoying the show and praising them for their loyalty to him was not the historically dangerous and unique event to be fretting over.
Oh no.
Of course, according to their loony America-hating QAnon MAGA way of thinking, it is the wheels of justice daring to turn toward Trump for perpetrating that outrageously traitorous crime against America that is the really annoying thing about all of this. LOL.

And why call out ONLY black and brown neighborhoods and people for voter fraud and election fraud, in said swing states?
