The democrat agenda
Link to quote: Rep. Al Green shouts down Trump and may face censure by the House | AP News
It seems that every pundit, from right to left believes that the democrat party is in total disarray without a leader or an agenda. If one listens carefully, the democrats do have an agenda, though maybe not a leader.
Based upon my opinion, which I base on logic, here is the list:
1) The Trump & Musk are evil mantra. They must be opposed and resisted at every turn.
2) The Palestinians must be supported rather than Isreal. Progressive/Marxist ideology has Isreal as the oppressor and the Palestinians as the oppressed. Does anyone doubt that this is now the position of the democrat party? (about 65% - 70% of dems favor the Palestinian cause)
3) There should be no cuts in the federal government, despite the $1.7 trillion deficit.
4) The war in Ukraine with US funding is preferable to a peace deal. If it cost another $500 billion in US aid and the life of every Ukrainian, so be it.
5) DEI must be restored. "America is racist."
6) The resistance to Trump and the will of the American people must be far more vocal, to the degree that voters will simply want peace.
Have I missed anything?
Let me follow up with this: There is also the smug attitude of democrats. They told the American people some monstrous lies over the past few years, such as the Russia/collusion hoax, the border being secure and the grand scam of hiding the condition of a man who was unfit for office for four years. They seem to be saying: Ya, we lied through our teeth and now you have at least 12 million people in the country, some of which are murderers, terrorists, gang members and human traffickers. Good luck finding them and getting rid of them. "WE WIN AND YOU LOSE!"
In the news:
Russian and U.S. officials are meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss details of a limited cease-fire in Ukraine. The U.S. and Ukraine met yesterday.
Israel expanded its offensive in Gaza. It has taken control of more territory and issued new evacuation orders for residents who recently returned to their homes. The Israeli cabinet moved to dismiss the Attorney General, who some say was trying to interfere with government policies.
Canada’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, called for an early federal election in order to take advantage of Canadian outrage for Trump tariffs. Only a few months ago the Canadian Liberal Party was in dire straits.
Political lawyers will ask a certain federal judge today to maintain protections against deportation for nearly 350,000 Venezuelans.
Elon Musk’s DOGE took over the U.S. Institute of Peace’s building after a nearly five-hour standoff. Elon Musk is going to file a lawsuit against Jamaal Bowman for calling him an “incompetent thief” and a “Nazi” on CNN.
Good morning and welcome to the news of the day.
Mia Love, the first Black Republican woman elected to Congress, died at the age of 49.
She was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2022.
You could learn how to spell Israel.
Anything important?
So you agree with everything else. Cool.
What's important to me might not be important to you, but right now what's important to me is that I'm going to bed. Good mornng to you, Vic.
Take care Buzz.
Amazing how many NT members love to put words in my mouth that I never said and never WOULD say. Can you also post what I'm going to dream tonight while you're at it?
The difference is some are actually serious when they do it.
You could take to calling him Vice.
That's a difference that's become harder to distinguish these days.
???
that seems to be an arguably common maga malady lately ...
What a terrible comment.
As seeder replied 1.2 will stay as written. Flags by other members dismissed
Is it a new rule that seeder's/author's comments are immune to being flagged? I've been an NT member from the beginning and this is the first time I've ever seen that.
No, I usually say member when I give that explanation, but since it was by seeder/author I used that term this time..
Oh, thanks, I got it. I was confused by your reference to seeder. You're absolutely right that once a reply is posted flags are not valid.
more maga hypocrisy ...
I kind of like it:
uh yeah, can you guess who he was talking about during that time frame in america? LOL ...
No, I can't guess.
We had 3 great waves of immigrants, and all came legally and assimilated.
Speak right up.
I'm referring to mostly those that came thru ellis island in that time frame, without passports ...
That seems deliberately vague. Do you mean immigration documents? First of all, they were not required until 1924. After that you couldn't enter without them.
So, what do you mean?
Be specific?
Getting through Ellis Island was not always a sure thing, but it was the LEGAL way to enter the US.
Ellis Island - Wikipedia
So ... what does that make Musk ... Canadian, South American or some vagrant Texan?
Just American,
I don't want to leave this posting as we enjoy our morning coffee.
From what i've seen so far, American judges don't recuse themselves notwithstanding the seriousness of the reasons that they should. I'm going to have my morning coffee in a few minutes - brewing up some Tim Horton's coffee shipped from Canada. It might please you to know that I almost always prepare for myself an AMERICAN breakfast - this morning duck eggs sunnyside up, toast with blueberry jam and marmalade, fried baby tomatoes and orange juice with my coffee.
I like the duck eggs. They are firmer and perfect for Sunnyside up eggs. They don't break or bleed. The only negative I hear is they are a bit more fattening than regular chicken eggs.
As for coffee, I have something better: Dunkin Donuts Coffee. It was a local guy who founded DD. He was also a lantzman.
I'm not much for the jelly or Jam.
Tim Horton's uses the same Arabica beans as Dunkin' Donuts does - they're the same. The donuts are similar as well, except for Timbits.
A lantzman? Du bist a yid?
Correction. The countries where the Arabica beans come from have some differences between Dunkin' Donuts and Tim Hortons. So there probably is a difference. I once posted an article on NT called ''A Coffee Tale''.

No, but I've known a few and I love the word.
I've known a few as well.
I have a question. It is kind of an analogy.
Suppose an English professor at Columbia University demanded that every university in America make the works of Jack Kerouac required reading. Would faculties throughout the country be wondering if he had the authority for a national injunction?
First of all I needed to know what a national injunction was, so I looked it up:
That indicates to me that it requires a court to impose a national injunction, and the Columbia University professor has no authority, so although he could make that demand, it would be unenforceable. Therefore, to answer your question, I would imagine that faculties throughout the country would most likely ignore it.
So now after 10 and getting sleepy, so Good Morning to you, Vic, and Good Night to me. I'll dream about duck eggs and Tim's coffee.
Do you believe Trump? Did you post this because you believe his bullshit is true?
I see that the DOGE team has arrived. Save one for "Big Balls," and let's get started.
Ooops. There's a clue I used for my new Geography Quiz.
Looks like typical partisan exaggeration. More likely the D positions are:
DEI is literally systematic racism and ensures racism will be a massively divisive force in our country as long as racialists are allowed to implement it. It’s much more corrosive and dangerous to the country than a dispute over tariffs.
I see progressive law professors are now arguing that Tite VII of the civil rights act is unconstitutional because it interferes with their ability to discriminate on the basis of race. Progressives want to drag us back to the 1940s when they controlled the south using state sanctioned laws to implement their racialist ideals.
I applaud you trying to make sense as opposed to the drivel in the article.
Cutting wasteful spending would be good if done properly (that means carefully rather than haphazardly). What I had in mind was Trump's aggregate actions which include pushing the bounds of executive power (breaking the law), targeting political 'enemies' and removing their security details and security clearance, threatening businesses and law firms to do his bidding, engaging in gratuitous tariffs, trying to remove jus soli, renaming Gulf of Mexico, etc. Musk, in particular, is in a position of power, influence, and information that is a clear competitive advantage. Although it is currently backfiring as the public sees a conflict of interest and disapproves of the haphazard ways in which cuts are being made.
Another ridiculous exaggeration instead of dealing unemotionally with what I wrote.
A flat out lie, that is not even remotely close to what I wrote.
Another exaggeration. We are not responsible for the world, but we have chosen to support (and lead) the continued fight for freedom. The right approach, as I see things, is for the USA to lead the opposition to Putin along with increased support from the EU. Putin winning simply encourages more bad behavior. The only path to a decent end is to put forth a strong position that will bring Putin to a serious negotiation. Republicans used to understand peace through strength until Trump supporters elected a pussy.
A question that illustrates that no reasoning is possible.
That does not seem to be the position of the Ds. There are always some in any group who will engage in violence. Your 'logic' is faulty generalization (plus a shitload of partisan bias).

opinion, and we are done.
Impressive rebuttal.
Well said and correct on every point.
You can't rebut or disprove comments simply by saying they're wrong.
You need to supply actual factual evidence instead of misguided personal opinions
If you have a problem with something I wrote then refute it instead of whining that I made the unusual act of opining in a social media forum.
Thus far all you have done is complain and get personal. Let's see you formulate an actual argument.

They are in the article:
Final thoughts:
The democrats don't really care if their agenda is popular with the voters. Their agenda is completely ideological. Donald Trump won an election which could be considered a referendum on democrat policies, winning the popular vote and a considerable majority in the electoral college. As he tries to fulfill his promises, the democrats have thumbed their nose at the will of the American people.
Through the use of district judges appointed by either Clinton, Obama or Biden the Trump policies are being stymied. Almost all of the Trump initiatives are facing opposition. Leftist organizations lavishly funded by their donors have funded massive lawsuits against executive orders. Let us not forget that the idea of an executive order being an effective way for a President to move his agenda came from Obama. When he lost the democrat majority in congress, he told us "I have a pen and a phone." He used executive orders to move his agenda without much resistance
Now however liberal organizations are shopping for leftist judges, just like they did during the lawfare campaign against Trump during the election. That lawfare has now been transformed to the injunction effort to stop everything Trump is trying to do. These injunctions will all be appealed and will likely be overturned. These leftist judges know that. The idea is to delay, delay and delay at least until the midterms.
Hopefully, the appeals will be taken in a timely manner and hopefully the dems will get beat again in the midterms.
"Good night and good luck."
hilarious ...
Sometimes it's like an Ayn Rand novel "... who is Vic Galt?"
Do you approve of Trump trying to subvert the rule of law, starting trade wars, stupidly throwing Ukraine under the bus and weakening their position prior to a peace negotiation?
There ya go again making shyt up. Again, all of it is unsupported opinion.
Cmon TiG, really?...
Did you approve of Biden trying to subvert the rule of law, throttling production and prohibiting trade, stupidly throwing Ukraine under the bus and weakening their position by withholding weaponry and then placing restrictions on their use when provided?...
You denying facts is not a good look. Who do you think you are fooling?
The facts are overwhelming that Trump has been trying to subvert the rule of law, starting trade wars, stupidly throwing Ukraine under the bus and weakening their position prior to a peace negotiation:
What is strange is that you are not embarrassed to deny these blatantly obvious facts.
TDS sufferers are not real Americans.
"But Trrruuuummmmmpppppp!!!!!" it was old during his first term; it is plain used up and worn out now.
Come up with some new material- and tell your corrupt, perverted party that has no morals, standards, and that doesn't believe in the law or Constitution to come back to reality.
Maybe it is MAGA who need to work on new material. All your "Brandon" and "TDS Sufferers" bits lost their zing. It is so hack...
But....Our side is winning bigly, and your side has been reduced to whining and crying. Normal people have rejected the corrupt and perverted the Democrat party
Is MAGA "Normal" now? That is rich. Normal in Hell maybe...
A perfect example of party over country.
