Joe Biden's decision to put the survival of the nation over his own political ambitions just goes to show what a decent person he truly is & how different the Democratic Party are from the MAGA cult of the GOP. In the last four years Biden: -Ejected Trump from power -Rejoined the Paris Climate Accords -Passed the largest climate investment in the history of the U.S. -Cancelled $153 billion in student loan debt for 4.3 million borrowers -Rescheduled marijuana from a Schedule I substance to a Schedule III -Signed important new federal protections for same-sex & interracial couples into law -Worked to protect access to reproductive healthcare after June 2022 SCOTUS ruling overturning Roe v. Wade -Expanded deportation protections to over 300,000 Haitians in the U.S. -Canceled 7 remaining oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that sold during Trump’s waning days. Whatever criticisms we have of his foreign policy (great on Ukraine and Taiwan, bad on Afghanistan & Israel/Palestine), he was a GREAT domestic president. Kamala Harris and whoever she picks as a running mate (Pete Buttigieg, Andy Beshear, Jared Polis, Roy Cooper) can ABSOLUTELY beat the Trump/Vance criminal clown show and they know it. Buckle up and fight like hell over the next 4 months to send MAGA to the dustbin of history.

ABSOLUTE POWER corrupts absolutely Anybody willing to wake up or those with an ear, let them hear! As a previous Air Force member, it burns my britches to see people waving the American flag 🇺🇸 while supporting a draft dodging presidential candidate who: encouraged a riot at the U.S. Capitol where people actually died and are still in counseling from trauma, 90+ criminal indictments pending, disrespectful to women/the handicapped/Intelligence Agencies/Special Forces/FBI, suggests violence to solve social issues and refuses to protect our Constitution and Country from ALL Foreign and Domestic enemies. 🤯🤯🤯 How do Republican leaders and voters support a candidate that skirts around the edges of even representing the Republican Platform which is the foundation of the Republican Party?🤯 I personally would prefer to have different choices come this next presidential Election Day. But the most important thing is that we have a Democracy after all the votes are officially counted. America is not perfect. But it is our perfect experiment born for the people. Kindly Vote for that concept. Vote for the long term Future that holds the country together. Last, in your mind, remove the names of the candidates. Read the facts about what each candidate achieved irrespective of age, what were their levels of honor and respect from foreign governments, criminal activities and criminal associates, which candidate would volunteer to help dig wells for water and hand out food to less fortunate people in hurting locations in Africa if asked to? Remove the label of Democrat or Republican from their name and just vote for the country we want to live in a hundred years from now for our children’s children. Once we lose our democracy, how do we get it back? Let My People Think! 🤔

"It is up to us. It may not feel like a single vote, or a single scholarship, makes a difference, but it does. Every time we choose to connect and believe in one another, we strengthen our society and democracy. Democracy is fragile and imperfect, but together, we are our best hope for building a system that is fair, inclusive, and increases opportunities for everyone." - People's Action Executive Director, Sulma Arias Read the full article here: https://ppls.ac/future

Looking around never ceases to amaze me in the value we seek for our country. We put down others we feed lies to truth to manipulate power we do this we say that and as a nation boast of the bonds we share and build. We work with whatever president is elected so who wants to be king? There are no kings in America. We have We the People as a choice to be covering as equally as we had this treaty developed to protect the lands so did we create the third war to be a sanctioned civil war of our own minds to see that this has been an inside job by the Republicans and the Democrats combined. So what if they are both removed from being able to govern themselves from causing harm to our creditability and release the slavery chains to our system and rebuild it for the next 4 years to start over as a democracy of foundations established? To waive a flag of white until we have honor to wave it red white and blue again? There is a law that states that if no one is sound to be able to stand in honor and integrity for our country it is the the house to decide on the most reputable couple. And if the world viewed love as God in other countries and if God is above the law and if God was a higher power to give us a balance to keep fair trade of our hearts words discipline and feed and systematic banking and living and farming and unions etc etc Who would we be to want God back in the governance of nations? Prove to me that doing without God or the trinity or the cross that bears the burden is better. I follow the weather to see Gods rath and I see it in America the sweltering Hell it created. God is good and is kind to give us the opportunity to take a break and rebuild America with open hands and asking for help from others who have stood tall longer than the existence of America was a great nation. We failed god; and in the hour that we arise each day, we walk the lands with blood stained boots from the blood we brewed and drank to be the coffe the cup of power of our own sins. But yet you look at the sky and ask why? When you should be looking at the eyes of a child as He silently cries, unable to stand next to a father and hold his hand no longer training, having to lead the way to show the parents thier own hurt they left for wasted clean up. The blood stained hands now wipe the tears to the eyes stained the shirts from the sweat and hide the scars from the crown blisters by the suns heat that chakras helkish Songs of lot of life the voice is a choice to be silent. Do not worry of the likes or the Polls worry of our souls and poles. America is the foundation of war no longer peace. We rise together. We realize we need a call for a white flag call for compassion to say please forgive us for causing our damages that we used our powers too far to fight and so we withdraw our arms from being strong fisted for Heart song palms in humility we so give thanks to our fathers and warriors, we give thanks for the liberty of the flag.

The recent reduction of bond for the Trump case in NY has raised questions about the political nature of the decision. According to Mr. Wonderful, this case was mishandled from the start, and it's hard to argue against that. When the case goes to appeals, we can only hope that justice is served. What's even more concerning is the potential impact on our justice system and the ability for people to do business. It's unfortunate that politics seem to be overshadowing what should be a fair and impartial process. This is a clear example of how the end does not justify the means, and we need to be vigilant in upholding our values and principles. Not of Marxism or tyranny not because of politics but because it is the right thing to do. Lady justice must be blind or we all lose. It will come back to haunt you dems as well. I am hoping that when this is over that those who did this are brought to justice, not as to get back but ensure our system of justice in the future & that people know that we are ruled by just and fair laws not by tyranny. Our nation is built on the Constitution and the rule of law. We must endeavor to keep our Republic...it is slipping away fast! I challenge anyone w/ TDS to look at this objectively. Look at what this has done to our country, borders wide open, people being killed, peoples property rights being violated by gov'ts. THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES...WAKE UP!!!!

You see, when it comes to public service and integrity, even a perception of corruption is enough to destroy public trust and incidentally, The US Supreme Court in its 1976 Buckley v. Valeo decision posits the behavioral model which links individuals’ perceptions of corruption to their decisions to participate politically, hypothesizing that the greater an individual’s perception of corruption the less likely that person is to participate in the political process (e.g., vote) because of an erosion of trust in government. Corruption also erodes the trust we have in the public sector to act in our best interests. It wastes taxes and rates meant for important community projects. This results in poor quality services or infrastructure, or projects never getting off the ground. I would expect Chief Justice [John] Roberts and the other justices to act on ethics reform to save their own reputations and the court’s integrity and restore the public confidence and trust in the judiciary. When it comes to matters of ethics, politics must be put aside and right decisions taken. #integrity #SCOTUS #conflictofinterest
