• Socialist Dems

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Mon Aug 31 21:59:44 2026
    I was listening to a "conservative" podcaster earlier tonight who was suggesting that "NY Governor Hochul could impeach NYC Mayor Mamdani for breaking the law, which he did when he opened a socialist grocery store."

    I don't know how true any of those statements are true, but let's assume they are and here's my hypothesis: If Hochul becomes "the governor who impeached the Socialist mayor, in defense of democracy," then that could help her re-election effort.

    This wouldn't override Ron's suggestion that there really is a "DSA" chapter of Democrats trying to take over the party, but it could be a symptom of the "Soros Democrats" fighting back; throw a DSA Dem under the bus, and save her seat as the governor of NY? Hell yea, she'd do that, and George would support her all the way.

    But too many people wouldn't see it that way.

    1. The communists would be outraged - and they ARE a signiticant force in the Democrat party now due to the Soros Dems' policies.
    2. The rest of us would see it as "The governor who is fighting the Socialists in her own party to decide to gets to be in charge." and you know that the Communists would elect another Mamdani right after that anyway.

    In a normal town they wouldn't, but NYC residents wouldn't know a good leader if they seen one.

    Yea, I don't expect a fair mayoral election to ever occur in NYC, but my point is that they can afford to do some shuffling if that's what it takes to keep Hochul as governor.

    NYC's GOP candidate has Curtis Sliwa in 2021, 2025, and he said he will run again in 2029. IOW: The left has nothing to lose in NYC. It's Albany that they're worried about.

    That's because NYC is now 99% illegals and useless people. They don't want a good leader. They want a free ride.

    I don't know. I think the old guard Dems have much less power than we think.

    They are always worried because they never actually EARNED any of their wealth.
    They got it through illegal means. So if they lose it, they can't just get more because they only know how to set up grifts. And if they aren't in public office, they can't even do that.

    I don't think Hochul will, or any of the Democrat State congress or city counsel members would do it.

    The Democrats walk lock step with each other.

    Recall the Democratic Socialist of America... When they raised their ugly head the Democrats said they were a Big Tent Party instead of denouncing the movement.

    NYC should suffer because they voted the commie in.

    As for the rest of the State you can vote the idiot you currently have in office as Governor out this November.

    I am currious what actual law you believe the Mayor broke or is actually breaking, but while we are here. I'll go along with it if we can impeach Trump for his socialist "Freedom Fuel" which is facing anti trust lawsuits and may possibly even be stolen..

    Crimes?? I wasn't sure what @Aaron was talking about... I think if NYC voted for the Commie so be it.

    Let them live with the results.

    Impeachment leave it be... We had to put up with Joe Biden for 4 years I think y'all should do the same. There are only 2 more years left for Trump's term. Try to come up with policies that people care about and you'll be competitive in 2028.

    You're right about that. It's an opportunity for Hochul, but she won't do it because it goes against their logic. Plus, NYC decides who's gonna be governor anyway, so she really isn't going anywhere.

    Regarding the Democrat Socialists of America, I know what you mean. And they proved something recently when the house voted to denounce Socialism and the majority of the Democrats voted against it (and in favor of Socialism.)

    I'm still not 100% convinced that the DSA are independent of the other Democrats, but I just when I was starting to believe it there was that house vote.

    Exactly. They "make" their living off of exploiting the wealth of others.

    If there's no one to exploit, they have no income.

    Marx figured that out toward his end. The "Rise of the proletariat" never happened. Why? Because capitalism made the working class wealthy as well compared to what they used to be.

    Look back at the 1950's. Look at the middle class. Mom who stays home. House. 2 cars. Vacations every year. Never having to worry about heat, water, food, etc.

    Compared to the 1920's, these people were "rich".

    Not so much anymore. Soros Dems are distancing themselves from the DSA candidates, but quietly.

    Recall the Democratic Socialist of America... When they raised their

    Because they want (need?) the voters but the only socialism they want is the kind where THEY are in charge.

    NYC should suffer because they voted the commie in.

    IHMO: If the vote was audited, I don't think he won. I think too many illegals voted, and too many fraudlent ballots were cast.

    Capitalism has been good to us, and it's the only economic system that's
    fair, but "it's so not fair" for elites who want more control. And they are enjoying the sh~t out of the sales pitches for socialism. "Free money for everyone!" and "Have what your neighbors have!"

    And you make a good point: The people pushing for socialism are from wealth, but lack the ability to create wealth themselves.

    They get a free ride through college. They never actually do any research into whether their degree can do anything. They graduate but can't find any company willing to pay 6 figures and a corner office for their useless degree.

    Their parents are partly at fault, since they should have made their kids actually WORK at some point (although you can make an argument that multi-millionaires don't want their kids in a situation where they can be kidnapped). The education system is partly at fault, pushing the idea that you "need a degree". Colleges and Hollywood reinforce that idea through propaganda.

    The result: a bunch of young adults who never had to deal with the real world, can't think for themselves, but have a very high opinion of themselves.

    So life isn't "fair" because THEY are the ones who are supposed to be on the top - like Dad. So back to the idea of getting the gov't to FORCE that "fairness" on the world.

    Yes, interesting since none of that money went to Ukraine.

    So I wonder if he has proof of where that money actually went.

    Joe Biden was only senile and for the most part they kept him in a dark room and out of the public eye where he couldn't do much dammage. Trump is not only senile but narcastic and the party not only throws him out front and center but refuses to rein in policy made in the throws of Insanity!

    Though it is hillarious watching you all celbrate the needless renaming things on a map in senseless displays of performative nationalism taken directly out of the books of other collective societies, while calling anyone who doesn't agree with your narrow world view Communists.

    The "war" with Iran was and continues to be pointless, was most likely Israel the tail wagging the dog. Has never had any solid goal, and no actual plan of acheiving anything. It has proven to be so disorganized it has made our strategy in Viet Nam look well executed. Once again we trapped ourselves into thinking that other coutries despise their governements so much, they will jump at the chance to overthrow the present regime doing the work for us. When most of the people on the ground there either still rememeber WHY the current regime is in place, (The British and US government overthrew a legally elected government and didn't like their politics putting in place a leader who ruled with an iron first and tortured and or murdered anyone who apposed it. (Mohammad Mosaddegh), or have grown up in the current regime and don't take kindly to another country trying to bring it down.

    Impeachment or the 25th, this guy has to go! We may not have 2 years.

    We have already spent 2 years waiting for soemone willing to take the higher ground in the Legislative branch, all we have had is crickets. The only branch that seems willing to do their job has been the Judicial and everytime a Federal judge from the lower courts or SCOTUS steps in, the right screams that they are the problem.

    Let me be clear, I have said from the beginning of Trump's second term, I understand how we got here! Not only has this country been in a cycle (Probbably since Geroge W. Bush), of electing successors that are further left/right leaning then their predicossors. It is like a huge pendulum swinging, each swing destroying more and more of what the United States fundamentally is about. Further exacerbating this is that congress has ceded more and more authority to the Executive Branch, allowing the President to infact enact laws via Executive Order, removing the checks and balances 3 seperate branches of government was intended to achieve. In effect President Trump has been given the power to create national policy not simply execute what our elected representatives create and pass. This power needs to be placed back where it belongs

    Wow! Look at all the revisionist history going on in a single post.

    First.. The middle class of the 1950's was due to massive governmetn subsidised public works projects at the tail end of The Great Depression and WWII. Massive government public works projects like the Hoover Dam, Interstate Highway System, and males being able to get cheap university education thanks for the G.I. bill.

    While "mothers" were able to stay at home, the vast majority of families did not have two cars (only 14% by 1959).

    You are 0/3, do you want me to wade into the tighly controlled banking regulations at the time that blow your "unrestrained capitolism is good for America theory?"

    Those large public works projects started under FDR (Democrat), carried forward by Truman (Democrat), and left in place by a moderate Republican Eisenhower.

    Collectively it looks like the republicans have ~ 1 Billion dollars whereas the democrats look like they are ~ negative 200 million.

    There is nothing we can do about the dead people voting, other than cleaning up the registrations.

    They don't "vote" anyway. They are on the rolls only to keep the number "correct". So if every precinct has a 150% voter turnout, that's good evidence of fraud. So they want the rolls bloated to keep that number at around 90% for when they bring in the pre-printed fake ballots.

    There is nothing we can do about the dead people voting, other than cleaning up the registrations.

    We did that here already. And our SoS put them all back. Gotta keep those rolls bloated or people will notice the fake ballots.

    Someone should be asking the question how are dead people voting and
    whyu is it that thee people are always voting Democrat.

    We already know why.

    I'm still waiting for the people who created this to be punished.

    And you make a good point: The people pushing for socialism are from wealth, but lack the ability to create wealth themselves.

    Their parents are partly at fault, since they should have made their kids actually WORK at some point (although you can make an argument that multi-millionaires don't want their kids in a situation where they can be kidnapped). The education system is partly at fault, pushing the idea
    that you "need a degree". Colleges and Hollywood reinforce that idea through propaganda.

    So life isn't "fair" because THEY are the ones who are supposed to be on the top - like Dad. So back to the idea of getting the gov't to FORCE that "fairness" on the world.

    This is what's being created as we speak. They cry about "fairness" publicly and with sincerity, but it's not the same fairness that poor people need.

    I think things radically changed for the democratic party after Barry was elected, radically changed.

    Gateway Pundit, yesterday ran an article that he wants Europe to pay
    back all the money the US gave to Ukraine.

    Did he suggest it or is he really pushing it?

    I'm interested in what good it would do for him personally. Democrats have never shown any interest in preventing fraud or waste, so it's interesting where he's going with this.

    First.. The middle class of the 1950's was due to massive governmetn subsidised public works projects at the tail end of The Great Depression and WWII. Massive government public works projects like the Hoover Dam, Interstate Highway System, and males being able to get cheap university education thanks for the G.I. bill.

    Where did you work in 1950s? For me it's hard to understand how great socialism is because I was born in the 70s.

    The Wokies have always had a weird idea of "fairness".

    If a parent says "Do X and you get Y", and one kid does X and gets Y. The Leftoid kid asks "Why didn't I get Y?" The parent responds with "Because you didn't do X" and the kid whines about "fairness".

    They want the rewards, but don't want to do the work. IHMO partly because they know that they CAN'T do the work. It's beyond their ability.

    I don't know either.

    If Europe had to pay all that money back, they'd have to pressure the Dems to return their cut otherwise they have to eat that cost - and they don't have those resources. Then you have to factor in all the fraud in Europe and those people would have to return THEIR cut too.

    So the only thing I can think of would be that he's trying to rip the Left up and make them point fingers everywhere as to who got the money - and you can bet that little actually went to what it was supposed to be for.

    Now there are politicians who have set their expectations too high, and they want what President Trump has.

    People like AOC could get hired almost anywhere because of her name. She's famous. But hired for work isn't what she wants.

    On 07 Sep 2026, Brent Hendricks said the following...


    Joe Biden was only senile and for the most part they kept him in a
    dark room and out of the public eye where he couldn't do much dammage. Trump is not only senile but narcastic and the party not only throws him out front and center but refuses to rein in policy made in the throws of Insanity!


    I have waaaaaay to many things to do to respond in length to this.

    Great job though!!!


    They had the 25th Amendment to deal with Biden's dementia. They tried to hide Biden who should have been 25th Amendment-ed because this is why it was created...

    They hid this truth from the people. Hid him so Barry could run the show.

    Headline, and everyone recalls...

    :Start
    Former U.S. President Barack Obama once spoke of the idea of a third term in the White House and talked about delivering lines to a stand-in who would be wearing an earpiece.
    :Stop

    Looks like Barry got what he wanted....

    81 MILLION people voted for Joe Biden, they didn't vote for Barry's 3rd term.

    In Maricopa County more people voted than actually live there... I say they should have got the president they voted for and not the Wizard of Oz.

    And this concept you talk about... Trump being senile??? can you expand a little... I just saw Trump give an almost 2 hour speech the other day. He does have a unique way of speaking but Trump is not Joe Biden, the exact opposite.

    I'll give you narcissistic... But the man has plenty to be narcissistic about though... look at his wife!!!!

    Please expand on his senility please.


    Though it is hillarious watching you all celbrate the needless renaming things on a map in senseless displays of performative nationalism taken directly out of the books of other collective societies, while calling anyone who doesn't agree with your narrow world view Communists.


    No one calls anyone a commie who doesn't earn that name...

    DSA candidates want to seize businesses, the means of production, get rid of jails and prisons and de-funding the police and and a bunch of other commie stuff...

    If you for this your a commie... But if you're more traditional... maybe like John Fetterman or ... RFK Jr, you're not.


    The "war" with Iran was and continues to be pointless, was most likely Israel the tail wagging the dog. Has never had any solid goal, and no actual plan of acheiving anything. It has proven to be so disorganized
    it has made our strategy in Viet Nam look well executed. Once again we trapped ourselves into thinking that other coutries despise their governements so much, they will jump at the chance to overthrow the present regime doing the work for us. When most of the people on the ground there either still rememeber WHY the current regime is in place, (The British and US government overthrew a legally elected government
    and didn't like their politics putting in place a leader who ruled with
    an iron first and tortured and or murdered anyone who apposed it. (Mohammad Mosaddegh), or have grown up in the current regime and don't take kindly to another country trying to bring it down.


    I think Trump has been quite clear on what his goals were.

    No Nuclear bombs for Iran. He's mentioned that everyday since the conflict started. He's mentioned it during the RNC midterm convention and also even today during the 911 speech.

    It also looks like Iran may fall without a boot on the ground with the way Trump is fighting with them.

    There were Iranians doing the Trump dance

    https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XNmwfZbEXhk


    There is an Iranian in Canada that I was watching, young, talking about how much the Iranian community hope that Trump can topple the current regime.

    Not everyone likes being raped and murdered.


    Impeachment or the 25th, this guy has to go! We may not have 2 years.


    What is Trump's high crimes and misdemeanors

    You set the bar so low the next time one of your guys get voted in they'll be 25th Amendment-ed out a week after he gets in.

    Maybe we can 25th Amendment AOC because of her IQ or Gavin because of his weird hand movements.

    Or you can put up with Trump's last 2 years and we'll put up with AOC's IQ.


    We have already spent 2 years waiting for soemone willing to take the higher ground in the Legislative branch, all we have had is crickets.
    The only branch that seems willing to do their job has been the Judicial and everytime a Federal judge from the lower courts or SCOTUS steps in, the right screams that they are the problem.


    Everything is working fine. Trump has made the best economy in the history of the world. He's brought over 20 Trillion in investments... this was as of yesterday... Trump says that it may be as high as 25 Trillion by the 2nd anniversary of his second term.

    The record before Trump was only 3 Trillion...

    There is a lot going on. Companies moving into the US, manufacturing moving and expanding in the US...

    Crime is at a 125 year low...

    If Trump had not won in 2025 and Kamala was able to keep the open borders and the Democrat agenda going there would be nothing left of the US as we speak.


    Let me be clear, I have said from the beginning of Trump's second term,
    I understand how we got here! Not only has this country been in a cycle (Probbably since Geroge W. Bush), of electing successors that are further left/right leaning then their predicossors. It is like a huge pendulum swinging, each swing destroying more and more of what the United States fundamentally is about. Further exacerbating this is that congress has ceded more and more authority to the Executive Branch, allowing the President to infact enact laws via Executive Order, removing the checks and balances 3 seperate branches of government was intended to achieve. In effect President Trump has been given the power to create national policy not simply execute what our elected representatives create and pass. This power needs to be placed back where it belongs


    Executive orders?? constitutional

    google says President Washington even wrote one

    The First Order: Washington wrote a letter to the heads of federal
    departments asking them to provide a clear, general overview of the official business and affairs in their departments.

    In 2014 when the Republicans won both chambers of congress Barry said...

    President Barack Obama famously stated "I've got a pen, and I've got a phone" in January 2014 to signal that he would take executive action when blocked by Congress. Later that year, following major Democratic losses in the 2014 midterm elections and a Republican takeover of the Senate, Obama explicitly warned Republicans that he wouldn't be afraid to use his veto pen to protect his administration's legislative achievements

    remember ^^^^^

    Why is it that every President since the beginning could do EO or EA but Trump can't.

    The Supreme Court sides with Trump more times then they don't.

    I find it funny that you fail to see the irony that you are touting what would otherwise be a "leftist/communist" government decree of how a private citizen should spend their money, but for the most part this is a useless feel good economic policy. IE the seed money is only avaialble to a very narrow group of kids, is a very limmited 5k a year contribution, and is completely locked up until the child reaches 18 (What if the child needs the money for love saving surgery?, what if the child at 18 decides to take a trade and doesn't want to go to college?), The parents would be much better off taking that 5,000 and investing it normally.

    Why not? We've done it before. For a long time there was no income tax to run the gov't.

    Exactly. Ukraine was just a money laundering operation for the Elitists. "Aid" goes in and money comes into their accounts.

    We should have Left NATO when the USSR fell because that's why NATO was created in the first place.

    Factory Construction vs. Direct Jobs: Administration reports often separate factory and plant construction jobs (which have seen an increase of roughly 83,000 to nearly 100,000 positions since 2025) from direct manufacturing employment inside those facilities once operational.
    :Stop

    Toyota is moving a large part of the Tacoma manufacturing from Mexico to the US.

    THEY HAVE TO BUILD THE PLANT. Results won't be immediate.

    Other plants are moving to the US from Canada...

    Google showed this...

    :Start
    Relocation: Automakers like General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford are shifting or considering shifting production from Ontario and Quebec to plants in states like Indiana, Michigan, and Texas.
    :Stop

    Other companies like Honda and Toyota are moving their production from Canada to the US as well.

    If you don't know Stellantis, the make Jeeps and whatnot, have sold their production plant in Canada and relocating into the US.

    ALL need time to build plants and allow these jobs to be absorbed by Americans.

    Other things are happening as well... Crown Royal, Canadian Whiskey, now bottled in the US and other companies from Canada are moving as well.

    If you cared to know....

    The U.S. economy has added a net total of over 1 million private-sector jobs since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, though overall net job growth has faced crosswinds from federal workforce reductions.
    :Stop

    Trump has added, net, 1 million private sector jobs since he took office.

    He's fired 1/3 of the Government workers and sent 3++ million illegals home, with all that he added 1 million jobs. AND he's adding more.

    The US is the largest, strongest economy in the world. His efforts, right now, is trying to take it from a Consumer-Based economy and make it what it used to be... Consumer and Manufacturing based...


    For the past 50-60 years all of the politicians let manufacturing move out, daddy's bring it back home.

    BTW, Intel is bring it's chip manufacturing back to the US... AS per Trump. Intel cave the US a 10% stake in the company as well.

    Let him work and do what he can.


    Trump accounts for kids...

    I find it funny that you fail to see the irony that you are touting what would otherwise be a "leftist/communist" government decree of how a private citizen should spend their money, but for the most part this is
    a useless feel good economic policy. IE the seed money is only avaialble to a very narrow group of kids, is a very limmited 5k a year
    contribution, and is completely locked up until the child reaches 18
    (What if the child needs the money for love saving surgery?, what if the child at 18 decides to take a trade and doesn't want to go to college?), The parents would be much better off taking that 5,000 and investing it normally.


    GOOGLE...

    Any U.S. minor under age 18 with a valid Social Security number can have an account ... ANY minor with a valid Social Security Number, ANY minor. Is not a narrow band of people.

    Government Seed Money: Children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, are eligible for a one-time, income tax-free $1,000 federal contribution... <---- ANY CHILD born between those dates get their accounts seeded... No exclusions, other than they have a valid SS#... no narrow group.

    Contribution Limits: Families, employers, and approved charities can contribute up to $5,000 per calendar year total per beneficiary (with employer matching capped at $2,500). <---- No Narrow Band here either...

    Control & Withdrawals: Accounts are managed by a parent or guardian until the beneficiary turns 18. No withdrawals are permitted before age 18.


    If you don't want it don't do it... BUT if you do your kid can go to Collage debt free or buy a house or buy a business.

    Tax Treatment: Growth is tax-deferred during childhood, but distributions generally convert to traditional IRA rules at age 18 and withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income.

    WOW... Teach your kids about investing and show them what they can do...

    You said this...

    This is far from leftist/commie... It's ownership, it's learning how to better yourself. You can go to school and have it paid for... OR... be like my son and buy a Welding Truck and go make more money.

    Or buy your future ex-wife a nice ring.


    Oooooohhhhh Saved the country from a Hillary and or Kamala Presidency.

    Relax a little....

    I can't do much more than relax - which is frustrating.

    What I'm hoping is that they are getting rid of the activist judges
    before putting some of these people un court.


    Ask @Aaron he might have some suggestions about something to smoke or drink that might help you relax.

    Lets get over the midterms and we'll do what they have been doing to SOME of these judges and that and impeachment.

    And maybe congress can pass a law or two that will prevent judges going rouge


    Question... have you been watching the RNC midterm convention??

    No. Most of that stuff doesn't interest me.


    Look into it. There is some exciting things I learned watching that.

    You don't have to do the entire thing but there was some info there and reason to feel optimistic.


    Thune's days are numbered.

    We knew that. Unless, of course, the Dems cheat again.


    I think there'll be less cheating because there are soooooooooooo many eyes looking at it. I think your state looks good though.

    Almost everyday I see Illegals who voted in Federal elections being arrested and deported. I also see them arresting and charging people who have assisted in voter fraud as well... The other day they arrested all those in California who were paying people to vote in their midterm.

    We need to win the midterm, get rid of thune and pass the Save Act.

    Lets get over the midterms

    That's difficult for me to do. Our current Tyrant has spent 8 years destroying the state - by every available metric. And our current SoS is running for Gov, but it also in charge of the election. She has a track record of rigging elections and election fraud. Of course, our AG (who is part of this same group) is doing nothing.

    So I am facing the prospect of at least 4 more years of this mess.

    And maybe congress can pass a law or two that will prevent judges going rouge

    They need to do something soon. Too many are letting known violent felons back out to murder again. It's only going to take 1 unhinged father to off a judge to start something.

    Look into it. There is some exciting things I learned watching that.

    It bores me to tears.

    It reminds me of a manager who told me after a big meeting "Look at all the stuff that we accomplished in that meeting."

    I corrected him saying that nothing was accomplished in that meeting. The best that a meeting can do is make a decision that will allow someone to accomplish something (outside of the meeting). He actually pondered that for a bit.

    The RNC is just a big meeting. The words are just words and nothing is accomplished there. It's what happens AFTER the RNC that is important.

    I think there'll be less cheating because there are soooooooooooo many eyes looking at it. I think your state looks good though.

    The SoS, who has a track record of election fraud, putting illegals and dead people on the ballot, working with electronic voting machine makers to rig elections, etc. is in charge of the election where she is running for Gov. There are sooooo many things wrong here.

    Eyes on things don't actually do anything. Putting criminals in prison will help.

    Almost everyday I see Illegals who voted in Federal elections being arrested and deported.

    They didn't vote in the last election. But they were on the rolls and someone voted for them.

    Getting rid of the illegals doesn't do anything as far as voter fraud is concerned.

    who have assisted in voter fraud as well... The other day they arrested all those in California who were paying people to vote in their
    midterm.

    Nice. But California has already fallen. So this is just closing the barn door after the horse has gotten out.

    We need to win the midterm, get rid of thune and pass the Save Act.

    We do. But we can't if the cheaters remain free to cheat.
