कांग्रेस का घोषणापत्र 'न्याय' और 'गारंटी' का करता है दावा, लेकिन क्या इसमें स्पष्ट दृष्टिकोण की है कमी?

New Delhi: कांग्रेस पार्टी ने शुक्रवार को लोकसभा चुनाव 2024 के लिए अपना घोषणापत्र जारी किया, जिसमें न्याय के पांच स्तंभों के तहत ‘पांच न्याय और पच्चीस गारंटी’ का वादा किया गया है। इसमें ‘युवा न्याय’, ‘नारी न्याय’, ‘किसान न्याय’, ‘श्रमिक न्याय’ और ‘हिस्सेदारी न्याय’ शामिल हैं। हालांकि, घोषणा पत्र जारी होने के कुछ ही घंटों के भीतर, कांग्रेस ने अपने चुनावी घोषणा पत्र में न्यूयॉर्क शहर और थाईलैंड की…

Libs and Dems love using that "leopards eating my face party" meme to poke at Republican women and queers but like

Youre asking us to vote for man committing genocide overseas because you think he wouldn't do the same to you. Even though it's him opening the wallet for it to happen and he didn't give a shit when you protested and called and marched for him to stop, did he?

In fact let me see here, what he did was *checks notes* tell the collective USA to get fucked cuz he's gonna keep supporting Israel committing war crimes. Which is currently causing a massive party divide. Headlines from today:

Oh right and he did this.

After he did this already

And hows your healthcare look? Your rent? Your gas tank? Groceries? Your paycheck? Winter is coming up for the USA and how often are you gonna worry about paying the electric bill?

And he wants to use more of your taxes to keep committing war crimes, knowing full well that you're already struggling.

And you think that guy will protect you from Republicans and Fascists?

Him? He's gonna protect y'all from fascism?? The dude cutting educational funding and student work programs for this?

Just to point out that while George Santos was finally expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives after being charged with 23 felony crimes, committing astounding levels of fraud, and fabricating absolutely stupid amounts of his background, it still required the heavy-lifting of Democratic members to close the deal, and a majority of Republicans voted to allow him to remain.

House Speaker Mike Johnson -- who was unanimously elected as the Republican leader of the House by GOP members in October -- continued to demonstrate his moral leadership by voting to let Santos hold on to his seat in Congress.

US politics and history time for a moment...

The people who want to claim that voting for Biden would mean they supported genocide remind me a great deal of the people in the 1830s - 1860s in the North who wanted immediate abolition because they believed slavery was a sin and God would hold them guilty of that sin if they didn't oppose slavery. This sometimes resulted in them supporting 3rd party candidates that, SURPRISE!, did nothing but push the election toward the most rabid pro-slavery candidates.

You know what most of those moral anti-slavery people didn't care about? What happened to Black Americans. They were concerned only about their own guilt, not Black Americans' welfare.

None of these people making this a moral issue now show any signs of caring what happens to Palestinians OR to all of the other groups that will suffer if the dumpster wins instead.

Biden can't wave his hand and make it go away because the US doesn't have unilateral power worldwide (though some Americans seem to believe that, sigh.) There are limits on his powers, especially since he has to negotiate with a hostile House of Representatives. He has chosen what is actually a pretty effective route and fought for at least some aid to get to Palestinians. And currently he has *some* leverage with the Israelis.

The question you should be asking yourself if you really care about genocide is which choice will do the most to help the Palestinians? Do you really think the dumpster would do even as much as Biden? Or would he be actively helping them and every other imperialist country (*cough*Russia*cough*)? And who else will suffer if he wins that would not under Biden?

If that isn't what matters most to you, then you're no different from the moral abolitionists and other Northerners who wanted slavery restricted (because it depressed wages for free white men) but also wanted to make it illegal for African Americans to move into new states like Ohio and Indiana and Illinois (racism and fears of wage competition.) Or to ship them to Africa, no matter how many generations had been in the US?

It's not idealism. You're self-centered and egotistical and actively choosing evil if you think "punishing" Biden is the result of not voting.

Vote pragmatically. Vote strategically. Vote with the welfare of the most people possible in mind.

#us politics #us history #And don't bring up effing obscure 3rd party candidates until they *aren't* obscure any more #And have a broad base of local and state and congressional office holders for that party to support them #And a political record that proves they can do the job #I got sucked into that once when I was much MUCH younger and saw an election go from a moderate candidate I wasn't enthusiastic about #To one of the worst presidents we've ever had #Voting for one of those in a national election is effectively voting for the dumpster #do you really know how the US government works?#Anyone who wins has to be able to get Congress to work with them and your 3rd party candidates have virtually no connections there #Your 3rd party candidate would effectively have to become a member of one of the two major parties to get anything done #But without the support of that party's political machinery etc. especially as they approached re-election

SILENCE THE NUTTERS!

The next time some LeftTard goes mental on you, spewing about LGBTQ rights, stop and ask them this:

Wtf does the 'Q' stand for? What does it mean?

They have no clue. They're spitting mad, ready to throw soup at some precious work of art, even loot a Target store but they have no idea why.

"The Q stands for Queer," they'll tell you.

"Of course," you'll reply, "But what does it mean?"

Because they're not a lesbian, as that's what the L stands for: It means "Lesbian." Women who are lesbians.

And they're not "Gay." They're not gay men. They're not men attracted to other men.

They're not bisexual. No, not that.

And they're not "Trans."

Nope. They're Q; Queer.

So what the hell is a "Queer?"

They're not LGBT, we need a whole new letter for them, they're so different. So what are they, exactly? Explain to us, exactly, who this is that they are DEMANDING that not only heterosexual people have to love, respect & include, but LGBT as well.

Yeah. They're demanding that LGBT people have to align themselves with this Q.

Was there a poll? Was there a vote?

#OTD in 1926 – Dublin-born, Violet Albina Gibson, daughter of Lord Ashbourne, shot Benito Mussolini in Rome on this date.

Italian Fascist leader, Benito Mussolini, had just given a speech in Rome to the International Congress of Surgeons when a bullet nearly ended his life. After Mussolini finished his speech praising modern medicine, he walked to his car. At the time, no one noticed Violet Gibson, a small Irish woman with a long history of mental illness, standing among the crowd, just feet from Mussolini. Once…

A perfect demonstration of how gutless most of the Republicans in the House of Representatives are is the fact that, in a public vote, there were 25 Republicans willing to vote against Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House. In a secret ballot, where their names would be withheld from the insurrectionist cult followers who they've allowed to take over their party, 112 Republicans voted against Jordan. Those votes happened on the same day.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

March 22, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

MAR 23, 2024

As expected, Trump’s team has reorganized the Republican National Committee’s donation system, arranging for maximum donations to go first to Trump’s presidential campaign, then to Trump’s Save America political action committee, and finally to the RNC to elect down ballot candidates. The Save America PAC pays Trump’s legal bills. So far in 2024 it has spent $8.5 million on them. In essence, this new flow means Trump is using the RNC to raise money that is then diverted to him.

This morning, conservative lawyer George Conway suggested that “we should stop defiling the memory of the party of Lincoln by referring to the current organization” as the Republican Party.

Midnight tonight was the deadline for the continuing resolution that was funding much of the government, and the House finally passed the necessary appropriations bills this morning, just hours before the deadline, by a vote of 286–134. Democrats put the bill over the top, adding 185 yea votes to the 101 Republicans voting in favor of the bill. In a blow to House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), 112 Republicans joined 22 Democrats to vote against the measure..

As soon as the bill passed, Johnson recessed the House until April 9.

Because the deadline to prevent a government shutdown was so tight, the Senate needed to take the House measure up immediately. But Senate rules mean that such a quick turnaround needs unanimous consent, and right-wing senators refused to give it.

Instead, Republican senators Ted Budd (NC), Mike Lee (UT), Ted Cruz (TX), and Rand Paul (KY) demanded votes on extremist amendments to try to jam Democrats into a bind before the upcoming election. If the amendments passed, the government would shut down for the purely mechanical reason that the House can’t consider any amendments until it gets back to work in April. So the Democrats would certainly vote against any amendments to keep the government open. But this would mean they were on record with unpopular votes in an election year.

The demand for amendments was partisan posturing, but the delay was particularly nasty: Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), who was a key negotiator of the bill, needed to get back to Maine for her mother’s funeral.

In the House, the passage of the appropriations bill and the recess prompted significant changes. Representative Kay Granger (R-TX) announced she is stepping down from chairing the Appropriations Committee.

Another Republican representative, Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, announced he will leave Congress early, stepping down on April 19. Gallagher is chair of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and has voiced frustration with the current state of his party. His absence will shave the Republican House majority to just one vote, and the timing of his departure means he will not be replaced this session. Wisconsin law leaves any vacancy after the second Tuesday in April until the general election.

Representative Ken Buck (R-CO) announced last week that he, too, was leaving Congress early, complaining that “[t]his place has just evolved into…bickering and nonsense.” Today was his last day in the House. Before he left, he became the first Republican to sign on to the discharge petitions that would bring Ukraine aid to the floor even without House speaker Johnson’s support.

Despite the frustration of their colleagues, extremist Republicans are not backing down. After the appropriations measure passed, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told reporters she has filed a motion to vacate the chair to punish Johnson for permitting the bill to pass without more extremist demands. Her threat will hang over the two-week break, but it is not clear what the House will do with her motion; they might simply bottle it up in committee.

Greene might not push a vote on the speaker right now in part because of pressure from her colleagues to cut it out. They understand that the extraordinary dysfunction of the House under Republicans’ control is hurting them before the 2024 election, and another speaker fight would only add to the chaos. There is also the reality that with such a small majority, Johnson would have to rely on Democrats to save his speakership if it were challenged, and a number of them have suggested they would vote to keep him in the chair if he would agree to bring a vote on aid for Ukraine to the floor.

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told CNN that he would “make common cause with anybody who will stand up for the people of Ukraine, anybody who will get desperately needed humanitarian assistance to Gaza, and anybody who will work for a two state solution. I’m up for conversations with anybody.”

The cost of Johnson’s withholding of assistance for Ukraine is mounting. Last night, Russia launched the largest barrages of missiles and drones since its war began at Ukraine’s power grid, leaving more than a million people without power and degrading Ukraine’s energy sector. The Institute for the Study of War assessed today that “continued delays in Western security assistance…are reportedly expected to significantly constrain Ukraine‘s air defense umbrella,” leaving Ukrainian forces unable to defend against missile attacks. Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky once again begged for aid, saying: “Russian missiles do not suffer delays in the way aid packages to our country do. Shahed drones are not affected by indecision like some politicians are.”

Ukraine has been using drones to attack Russia’s oil refineries, but Russia had a new problem today as a deadly attack on a Moscow concert hall claimed at least 60 lives. The Islamic State's Afghan branch, known as ISIS-K, which advocates for civilian mass-casualty events to weaken governments, claimed responsibility for the attack.
