@T
He got it right the first time. They'll feed the public spin but won't say the real reason they wanted into Iraq and Iraq conquered.
The Bush family no different than the Biden family. Both crime organizations

And I thought turnips were one of the healthier root vegetables.

That death wish on others is really some bad karma señor. Those vibes could have you come back as a fly on Trump's turd pile

I think they wanted it that way. In addition to the early “it’s their duty, just like in wartime, to die for their country - in this case, so our economy (read: my portfolio) does not suffer” stuff that came from the Right, there’s also gonna be plenty of “ahhh, frail brother Jim died of Covid! Thank god. Now I don’t have to split the inheritance with him”.

Yeah, I’m reasonably certain that a whole slew of that is going on.

Who are you quoting with these two sentences? I haven't seen either before.

Does being poor make you liberal? or does being liberal make you poor?

I don't think either is true. And given what poverty does to the brain I'd consider it insulting to imply that poverty makes someone liberal. I do think the DNC platform (sincerely or not) plays to people in poverty in general. It's a perpetual promise of being lifted up. Again I'm not making any judgement on these policies, just pointing out that they are perfectly suited to this demographic group.
