KK is needed for bipartisan criminal justice reform, it's the best Biden can do, he's losing young Black and Latino voters who will stay home or vote for Trump.....Charlamagne is on his neck on that.
Young black people are pissed at Biden because he failed to get things done where the Senate filibuster would need to be broken

I’ll ask you the same question I asked the Russian bot, “what did Trump do to primarily benefit the white middle class”

He’s not will to call for its removal because of so called tradition.
He is a good politician. He knows there no reason to take a political hit when it has no chance of going threw. I think he would change his tone if he thought they had the votes to get rid of it and the votes to pass a major piece of legislation.

Fillibuster is a Senate rule. Senate rules say the rules can be changed

Filibuster should be abolished, and the US Congress should be modeled on the Nebraska Legislature, which is unicameral, not two houses of Congress.

I know, which is why I said Biden has nothing to do with it. But he would likely push for it, if something could actually come of that pushing.

Dems have to make sure their agenda can appeal to the middle class whites---they are swingy---and could go Republican in 2026, especially in Georgia and Michigan.....

1. Depends on what you mean. At the very least, I want a national database of complaints and discipline against officers and a way to bar a bad cop from moving to another department. Make them pay any lawsuit settlements personally rather than load down the taxpayers of the department they worked for at the time of the incident. Also a way to strip them of their pensions.


2. No. If there were any that were personally enslaved, or their immediate offspring, maybe.

3. Yes, if properly managed.

4. Again, depends on how.


No. You take out a loan, you pay as agreed. The answer is to control costs initially so tuition isn't so high.

Second step is the state pays. Question then becomes, which state, the student's home state or wherever the school is located?

Third step is the employer pays ... hires for certain fields get agreements for the employer to pay for any advanced classes or degrees. Then you have to guard against any notion of 'indentured servitude' while still allowing a company to protect their investment.
Individually paying is going to cause mass exodus of cops and lead to shortage of cops-----it would lead to vigilantism....

They don't know about it yet, or crime is more important to them....
Question for you. In 2023 was crime up or down for the year?

Hint I don't want you to use the Fox News propaganda. Get real statistics and give your answer.

Why hasn’t capping insulin at $35 been a benefit to middle class whites?
It is a start, but there are only about 1.5M type one diabetics in the US, so a benefit to what, 1% of the eligible voters. The Dems programs are not necessarily bad, but they do a terrible job of messaging and counteracting the FUD from the Reps on inflation, the Border, crime, and national defense.

Brandolinis law makes it awfully difficult
