More winning from the Whitehouse Press Secretary

The Whitehouse Correspondence Association will no longer get to decide which "news" organizations get access.

the head of the WHCA had the following statement:

Quote:

The White House decision "tears at the independence of a free press in the United States," WHCA president Eugene Daniels said in a statement. "It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps."
It's ironic since Biden used a list of reporters along with what questions they were going to ask for 4 years in collusion with the WHCA without a peep from Daniels.

He is truly a remarkable man, no wonder many envy, and even admire, his achievements. Though he was born with certain advantages, he has worked relentlessly to build on them, a fact beautifully reflected in his shining family, which stands as a testament to his cultivated legacy. A successful businessman and renowned public figure, he has overcome bitter political and legal battles to secure re-election as President, winning both the popular and electoral votes in his second term. His leadership is almost ideal, reminiscent of a protagonist in a novel. Unlike extremist figures such as Hitler, his style evokes the Venetian Doges—with their wit, charm, steadfast patriotism, business acumen, diplomatic finesse, and even a touch of ruthlessness.

It's up to you to remove an elected President, not me or other from outside USA.

Been thinking on the scene where Putin is sitting in the Oval office and Trump in this baby chair. What did it mean ?

We're not going to remove our elected President. as for your "dream" it means you probably need to stop eating junk food before bed.

Great budget proposal. Give the ultra-rich even more tax breaks then cut health benefits for those who need it most and still add billions to the deficit.

Trump is going to add more trillions to the deficit just like his last term to give even bigger tax breaks to the ultra-rich.

Would Kamela Harris done the same ?

Voters have made their choice at the voting station and they should have so much insight in the policy used by the electable politicians that they stayed home.

Oops brilliant Elon at work https://www.politico.eu/article/pola...st-nazi-guilt/

Tesla's stock market value has tumbled below $1 trillion. The carmaker's shares seem to be suffering from the image of top executive Elon Musk, who has to watch as sales in Europe fell by almost half last month. While Musk is taking a blunt axe to the US government apparatus, Wall Street is pounding hard on shares of Musk's car brand Tesla. Tesla's share price has fallen so far in recent days that the manufacturer has tumbled out of the trillion-dollar division of the exclusive company of companies with a market value above $1 trillion (€950 billion) such as Apple, Amazon, Meta, Nvidia and JPMorgan.

The last push came when it was revealed that Tesla's sales in Europe had almost halved. The manufacturer sold less than 100 thousand cars in January this year, down 45 per cent from the same month a year earlier. In the European Union, the number of cars sold actually fell by more than 50 per cent. Tesla's market share in the EU shrank almost as sharply, from 1.8 per cent to 1 per cent. On Tuesday, Tesla shares went down 8 per cent, a slight recovery occurred on Wednesday, but not enough to return the car brand to the Olympus of the biggest listed companies.

But analysts also see indications that Tesla is suffering from ‘Musk shaming’, a variation on the trend of flight shaming that causes travellers to forgo air travel when an alternative, more sustainable mode of transport is available. Potential Tesla buyers seem to be turning away because of Musk's questionable interventions in the US government and his flirtations with radical and far-right parties in Europe. A poll by Electriying.com, a website dedicated to electric cars, showed late last month that 60 per cent of potential electric car buyers are refraining from buying a Tesla because of the top executive's image. ‘Tesla has been instrumental in the acceptance of the electric car, but Elon Musk's personal brand seems to be fuelling polarisation,’ said Electrifying director Ginny Buckley.

Believing that billionaires are any good for the working class requires a comical level of delusion. But people still vote their tyrants, nothing changed since the era of enlightenment. The crazier part is knowing that instead of crippling low/middle class back to serfdom, they’d actually make more profit by focusing on shifting priorities to grow upper middle class… who buy houses and cars and shyte they don’t need. They are siphoning off the wealth of the nation. Watching Tesla stock burn makes it more fun, instead of

Some nations have an electoral system that is partly indirect, with deputies rather than voters electing a representative. In Germany, for example, the directly elected deputies elect the indirectly elected president. Representative democracy is the term for representatives chosen through a selection process. This is the case in most countries in the West.

Basic forms:
  1. Direct democracy.
  2. Representative democracy. Variants:
    • Consensus democracy.
    • Deliberative democracy.
    • Demarchy.
    • Lottocracy.
    • Participatory democracy.


Yes, all of these Democracies,The only problem is,they all have their versions,and therefore there is conflict. Democracy is continuous conflict. Tell me where on this planet the ideology of Democracy has brought peace, and prosperity for it's citizens. since 1945
