From AP, on the New Jersey Senate winner...

(quoted passages indicated by parentheses, to evade Elba glitch)

In a screenshot of a 2019 Twitter post captured by a WNYC reporter, Durr wrote, (Mohammed was a pedophile! Islam is a false religion! Only fools follow Muslim teachings! It is a cult of hate!)

(I support everybodys right to worship in any manner they choose and to worship the God of their choice,) Durr said in his statement to the media outlets. (I support all people and I support everybodys rights. Thats what I am here to do, work for the people and support their rights.)

Durr did not respond to phone and email messages from The Associated Press seeking comment Friday. A spokesperson for New Jersey Senate Republicans declined comment Friday, referring a reporter to Durrs statement.

Also on Friday, the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations called on Durr to meet with Muslim leaders and renounce hate.

In other posts, Durr seemed to equate not opposing COVID-19 vaccination mandates to remaining silent during the Holocaust, including with the post a photo of a yellow star that the National Socialist party forced Jewish people to wear.

He also said on Facebook that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was not an insurrection but (an unauthorized entry by undocumented federal employers.)


Heh.

Bambu, yes, we should build the high speed trains in the USA, with American steel, etc. Detroit can build the new train cars, etc.

It is hard to get high speed trains built in the USA because of the fucking auto industry, and the gasoline industry, too much money is being made from cars, the car people have a lot of lobbyists.

And the really bad part is that most of the new cars are foreign, people are buying cars from South Korea, and from Japan, in my mind we need to have super high import tariffs on new cars from Korea, etc. The money from the tariffs on cars from Korea can go towards building high speed trains in the USA.

And on the issue of the Space Shuttles, my people built those, my home town where I was born built the Space Shuttles. And right now my home town is building top secret stuff, I am not sure what all is being built there, but the parking lots where they build the secret planes are all full of cars. I know Lockheed is working on new supersonic passenger planes, which will be great, we will be able to fly from Los Angeles to Rome in no time. I am sure the people of Australia will want the new supersonic passenger jets as well, my home town will be happy to build jets for everyone.

We need to get busy putting Americans to work on the new high speed trains, etc. We need to get the homeless people into shelters, get them psychiatric care, and then get them to work helping on our high speed trains, etc.

People can do hiring for the high speed trains on Facebook, they can tell people on Facebook how to get jobs on the new projects that are going to happen because of Biden's new deal. And they can build on multiple locations at once for the high speed trains in order to employ more people and in order to build the trains faster.

We need to get people excited about Biden's new deal, and we need to get Americans to work building our new high speed trains, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Heh.

I am sure it was just a heat of the moment thing.  Maybe low blood sugar. The guy really respects Muslims and the rule of law and also the need for vaccination for public safety.  It is so easy to be misunderstood.

Banks thinks he is being pragmatic by rooting for the bad guys.

Larry I am pragmatic, but I won't sell my soul.

But there is a reason for the old saying, "politics makes strange bedfellows".

And Larry I've listened to your perspective, and I understand it, and in many cases I agree with you and your goals.

However I found the environment hostile to its immediate fruition.

Biden is President because black and brown people put him through the primary and then took two seats in Georgia...

And all moderates do is tell the BASE of this fucking party to be quiet, white folks talking.

And then when shit goes south electorally the first thing you will say is well, the black turnout was low.

In this era you are either going to split or lose the white vote no matter what so why do you keep spitting on the folks who have been giving you 90 plus? instead of watching the GOP make it harder for them to vote why are you not protecting their rights and access?

Joe Biden promised to reach across the aisle and work in a bipartisan fashion and the Republicans tried to overturn the election and failing that tried to overthrow the government.


YMMV

The BASE stayed home in NJ and VA. Guess they thought those races didn't matter. Now, they'll be shitting themselves and blaming MoJoe Manchin or Miss Sinematic ain't gonna change the fact that the BASE took a vacation when they should have kept up the good work.

Those are indeed FACTS. Now, if you think the BASE is brown and black and white folks are either blue dog Dems or GOPers, as it seems you do, then the turnout being low among black and brown folks DOES matter, and it ain't bias or prejudicial to point that out.

You can't have it both ways, Larry. You can't say minorities won for the DEMS because they showed up at the polls, and then when they don't show say that it's not their fault.

There are other factors at work in all of these races/votes/elections, but if white folks are evil and non-whites are saviors, then the saviors can't be taking holidays.

Larry I'm not cheering for anyone.

I asked Fac to support his post with #s.

And its a matter of how we allocate resources and who benefits and who pays.

there is no free lunch.
. BINGO!!!!

To say BBB is not a matter of spending, is idiotic and sophomoric on its face.

at first the price tag was $7T now its $1.8T and stuff got cut because it was deemed too expensive and the resources or votes weren't there.

I'm sorry you didn't understand the process and you now seem very angry.


The stupid and angry black man.

Why do I expect more from you?

Race card in play, now.

The default mechanism when Larry OR one of his compadres is asked to put up something to support his opinion.

How the Squad abandoned their party and their POTUS:

Representative Pramila Jayapal, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, stated that members of her caucus and other Democrats had reached an agreement to advance both pieces of President Biden's legislative agenda.

Our colleagues have committed to voting for the transformative Build Back Better Act, as currently written, no later than the week of November 15. All our colleagues have also committed to voting tonight on the rule to move the Build Back Better Act forward to codify this promise,
she added.


But the agreement wasn't enough to convince some progressive members. Therefore, Democrats had to rely on Republicans who backed the infrastructure package to get it over the finish line. Thirteen House GOP lawmakers voted in favor of the bill.



It's never enough. If they were honest they would just say, "GIVE US YOUR MONEY. ALL OF IT. YOU EARNED IT, BUT IT BELONGS TO US."

Fuck the Squad. We don't need revolutionaries in the party. We need people who understand and will work for the working class. They don't. They work for themselves.
