Rockefeller set prices low to run others out of business. Just showing that it works both ways, and setting low prices is the common way to run competition out of business. You don't raise prices if you seek to close some doors or make them ripe for takeover. You peg the price lower.

Governments use price supports, but that goes to an entire industry such as dairy farmers to support the price of milk to make sure there is a supply. Running stores is entirely different.

How is it "entirely different"? Do you think people from Manhattan are suddenly going to flock to the ghetto to do their grocery shopping to save a little money?

I find it hilarious that people are throwing such a fit because people in poor neighborhoods are being provided with grocery stores that the free market wasn't providing them. If the free market was providing these grocery stores New York wouldn't have to. It's not like New York is building grocery stores right next to Publix and Whole Foods and running them out of business. But I get it. For some people business is more important than people.

Newsflash: Thunderstorms are racist.

You were saying? Yes, Gary, Indiana which has been without electric for almost two weeks now is a coincidence.

Flint, Michigan who found their water lines were poisoned with lead in 2014 just finished replacing all of those pipes last month is just another coincidence.

At what point do you begin to stop trying to make it sound like all of these things are nothing but coincidences and admit there's a problem here?

Let me guess. Never.

Right?! 🤣

Ignorant boomer conservatives will never be convinced that they purposely ignored, or condoned, all forms of racism from the 50s til now.

I think they were provided at one time. They closed because of crime and a lack of people who could hold a job. If the business had been making money, they wouldn't have closed.

And thus the need for people to have a method to have healthy food in their neighborhood. Some people search for why a problem is there even when they are trying so hard to blame the people with BS like this, "a lack of people who could hold a job". Others look for solutions to those problems.

I'm not sure if this guy is a Democrat or not but it's hilarious either way.......

Man arrested after guillotine is found in pickup truck near Capitol

Capitol Police said investigators were looking into why the 35-year-old suspect from California was in Washington.

U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday arrested a man who they say was carrying a guillotine in the bed of a pickup truck.

Philan-Tam-Duy Le of Julian, California, was arrested on suspicion of “carrying a dangerous weapon” and being in possession of the guillotine, Capitol Police said in a news release.

Police said Le, 35, drove to Washington from California.

“USCP investigators are going through the suspect’s background to learn more about why he came to Washington,” police said in their news release.

Le’s truck was spotted near the Capitol and the Supreme Court, where officers say it was illegally parked.

Congress is in recess, meaning lawmakers are in their home districts, not in Washington.

An Instagram account that appeared to belong to Le included a Story on Tuesday afternoon featuring a video of a man with the guillotine outside FBI headquarters in Washington.

“Outside the FBI building, just eating some cheese pizza,” the man says in the video. The post included the caption “Guillotine adventures” and said, “Capital hill next.”

Capitol Police often make arrests beyond the Capitol grounds, and those incidents are not necessarily politically motivated.

Two questions quickly come to mind...

First, was it an assault guillotine? Because I heard a rumor you can decapitate over 100 people in a matter of seconds with one of those things not that it makes any difference.

And secondly he should have had a sign on it saying "Decapitate Mike Pence" and everything would have been fine. Having something like that on the capital grounds has been show to be acceptable behavior in the past.

Is this guy running for office as a Democrat or for the DSA??

No? Then really pointless posting in The Dems Again thread ...or is this another example of posting one idiot and trying to imply they represent 45% of the voters?

Political Activities

Endorsements: Smollett and other cast members from the TV show Empire appeared in a 2016 video campaign ad endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Left-Leaning Alignment: He has frequently expressed progressive viewpoints and received strong backing from prominent Democratic figures during his 2019 hate-crime hoax controversy, though his party registration status remains private or unlisted in public voting records.

That's beside the obvious point... there's only one party running around calling everything right down to white rice racist.

What thread would you like it in?

You might wish to create an "Irrelevant BS" thread?

Create one? There are already 18 on the PP topics page.

Sure there are. Would you like to name them? It seems everything that's really going on within the power structure of this administration is irrelevant to you. It's really quite sad. Real time global and national events mean nothing to you but silly nonsense means everything to you. They say ignorance is bliss and when you have the time maybe you can let me know if that's true.

Idiot actors represent Democrats as much as idiot ICE members (as in the other thread) - this idea that spamming the web with anecdotal actions and statements of the worst of our society represent all liberals or all republicans or all trump fanboys is silly. I've said it dozens of times - these "gotcha" SM posts that try to represent one idiot as representing an entire political party and it's voters is DUMB. In fact it's more than dumb - it plays straight into the hands of those countries that sponsor and pay for that sort of fake narrative to be used and spread by useful idiots that take what they get in their SM echo chamber and spam it across multiple other platforms. Doesn't matter if it's left or right leaning nonsense ... the result is the same, unthinking people drive a wedge and divide the country even more.

I've also said that one side claiming the other side has more whackos or idiots is similarly false and silly. There's idiots everywhere, of all political parties, straight, gay, black and whit and every shade of color in between.

You only have to look at how these posts are spammed - without dialogue, without attempt at discussion or rebuttal or common sense. It is hate and division no matter what anyone wants to say.

Meanwhile the POTUS is renaming bodies of water and somehow that's not conversation worthy.

I'm not sure a one entire party is doing that - I think some of the people who are "left" or "liberal" might be doing that ... And there is only one party that is supported overwhelmingly by racists and white supremacists. Great.

White Privilege is real. The history of slavery and the Jim Crow era is real.... and recent (2 generations) .... so I can understand some of the people who might be tempted to use the race card too much. I don't understand how anyone would be racist or try to defend racists.

You know how that works. Even when it's obvious you're not supposed to say anything about it or they claim you are the problem.

Rando said what?

She's definitely one of the whack-job-lefties. That's the party-line hot take though. Just say "fascism", literally anything afterward, and they all jump to their feet to applaud. Works every time.

Not sure 'Fascism' is a party line - that would imply that the Democratic leadership is pushing that narrative. Maybe they are and i missed it. Certainly Fascism, Authoritarianism are popular buzz words - and some of that is justified. Trump is absolutely ruling by decree with his use of executive orders to get important work done - like renaming the Golf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. And if the "lefties" are trending with Fascism then the MAGA fan base is trending with spamming quoting what stupid people say and labeling them as representing "Democrats" .... Along with calling anyone who they deem "too far left" with their politics "unamerican" and "communist".... which apparently isn't divisive at all.

They don't care about reality or facts. Those days are long gone. They have now adopted the art of trying to bait people with pretty much zero substance. What else can they do? They certainly can't justify the things trump says and does so they ignore all of that and post garbage instead. Even when fascism is certainly a part of trump's methods.

It is. They are. They have been.

Really starting in 2015, but all the way to the top during the election cycle; including Biden. Then that became the battle-cry from Harris down the stretch... "Fascist! Fascist! Fascist!!" Now it's the "in" word. You simply attach it to every statement and the brain-deads cheer for you.

Not sure how you missed it? But you definitely missed it.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Sort of like the catch phrase "communist!" used by the right?

Exactly!

Although I don't think anyone has yet correlated communism with weight loss.

There's still hope though, hear me out... Let's say Mamdani doesn't allocate enough crutch and grant money to the grocers that are facing off against the government funded grocery stores. If a bunch of those go belly-up, it could lead to food shortages and weight loss, right?

A little more cruel than Ozempic, but hey, communism should always be little more cruel, right? Pain reinvigorates one's hatred for the Bourgeoisie.

Just like how fascism is rewriting and selectively ommiting history at government websites, national parks and museums.

Like restructuring universities by forcing them to adapt government propaganda and dictating what is taught instead of honest education by freezing federal funding, threatened tax-exempt statuses, investigations and demanding payoffs.

By threatening and attacking the press at every turn. Bringing frivolous lawsuits and threatening to use the FCC as a weapon against them. He did that yet again this morning on his social media account. You may wish to look at historical precedents at where that has been used before.

By telling the DOJ directly to go after his political opponents and they followed his orders. Usually to find nothing to which they could be convicted on.

How people in his party in some states have forced religion, but you know, just one religion into our public school system through everything from having those documents posted in public schools to one state even mandating classes on the Bible be taught in public schools.

I do give you credit for creating some farcical scenario yet what I posted is and has been happening.

I don't read all that. I look, scan, see it's another list of how Trump is a fascist and stop. No need, I've heard it all before.

Weight loss is still not fascist though. That's the post that started all this uproar.

You guys have a flowchart where every subject, every talking point, every political angle leads right back to your obsession with Trump. I burned out on that junk years ago.

Just so we're clear - we're talking about how the F word has taken over as the fashionable term for Liberals/Democrats to throw around, possibly and probably too much.

But when someone lists very valid areas of concern that could be viewed as leaning towards authoritarian or even fascism - the conversation ends?

I mean that's fair enough and your choice, but I don't see how what Pit wrote isn't germane to the conversation and appropriate.

Oh I get it. You refuse to address reality or actual facts you don't like and don't want to hear because they are indefensible. Then you try and place the blame on those who point it out. Speaking of having a flow chart.

Trump, is the president of The United States and everything I listed is factual. Somehow you believe that just saying that you're tired of hearing it changes any of it or will make it go away. And the fact it's all true isn't our fault either. But I understand it. If I we in your shoes I would also have no choice than to do what you are doing.

In their mind it immediately becomes germane the second they realize it's indefensible. And then they blame us for it. it's become their singular talking point when it comes showing the the facts on things trump has done.

"He was convicted on 34 felony counts." TDS

"A jury found he sexually assaulted a woman." TDS

As you can see, every legitimate point I listed is somehow my fault.

That's all they have left in the tank and has been for quite some time now.

The conversation ends because there is no actual conversation or the "toys fly out of the tram".

Even looking at Pit's last post... were you guys interested in "conversating" about how one expired misdemeanor became 34 felonies? Nope. Or the fact that the creditors he allegedly cheated loved the loans and wanted to loan him more? Nope. Or the fact that banks say every "value" stated by a borrower is inflated and the bank actually assumes it's half? Nope. Or the fact that a judge decided Mar-A-Lago's value was $12 million (🤣 I guess my house's value is about 38 cents). Nope.

Zero, zip, nada. No intellectual honesty whatsoever, just "convicted felon, convicted felon!!" Then you say it 3000 times and when people give up on "conversation, you two post your "cricket" memes.

You wonder why Dawgtalkers is a liberal echo chamber? Probably because YOU call every. single. response... the result of an echo chamber.

Can't make it up. It's hard to even fathom irony this thick.


See, now I'm burned out on this section again. But just so you know... it's because any and all conversation is exactly (and only) as "y'all" want it to be. Drown out all voices of reason and scream into the air.

BTW... have a great day!

When people spam SM posts .... It's exactly from their echo chamber, it's the very definition of it. When people call anything and everything "left" as communism, pretty sure that's the same thing too. Just like your suggestion that the lefties are all hooked into "fascism".

I'll leave it there, understand that you don't wish to discuss. You also have a good day.

It's easy to understand why they were turned into felony counts. First there was a charge for each time the law was broken.

Secondly and most important are why they were felonies. They were felonies based on the prosecutor proving to the jury the key elements making them felonies...............

1. State Election Law: A New York law that makes it illegal to conspire to influence an election using unlawful means.

2. Federal Campaign Finance Violations: Exceeding donation limits or spending secret money to sway a federal election.

3. Tax Fraud: Falsifying the repayment records to hide the true nature of the money.

Trump's creditors got to the point that they would no longer loan him money and the only resource he had left to borrow from was Deutsche Bank.


Which banks say that?

Intentionally overvaluing a property to secure a loan or obtain better financial terms is considered a serious form of financial fraud. In the real estate and banking sectors, this specific action is legally recognized as appraisal fraud or mortgage fraud. When a borrower, lender, or appraiser deliberately inflates a property's value, it fundamentally misleads the financial institution underwriting the risk.

You just made yet another excuse for trump's criminal actions.

I don't blame you for being burned out. It must be exhausting trying to make excuses and rationalizations for his illegal behavior.
