Stephen A Smith is not wrong. Career politicians on both sides serve themselves and just disagree with the other side. Is that every member of Congress? No, but a number of members have little interest or desire to serve their constituents.

Stephan A is talking to a guy who literally carries out the lies for the democrats. When you bring up common sense, CNN is not the news station that has it.

Doggie Dad 🇺🇸🇺🇸1 year ago

@DonnaDavisHNL This is the political status quo for decades. Unless he has a solution stating the obvious doesn’t matter.

RayRanger1 year ago

Stephan A doesn’t realize that the American people shot down their policies and what they believe in, so the only thing they can do is protest everything Trump does. They have no other plan.

Hey, @stephenasmith, you know @jaketapper is a DNC operative, right? You may be a little too naive for real politics; it's a true contact sport and you must know the players. Godspeed!

Another huge problem is that what they do to get reelected is to see how much money they can bring back to their district. No matter if it is good for the country, they have to be seen as bringing jobs and taxpayer dollars back to their district. The art of compromise has devolved to 'I'll vote for your pork barrel spending if you'll vote for mine.'

A rundown of Donald Trump’s biggest campaign promises and whether he has or hasn’t delivered.

@RealDeanCain There is truth to what he’s saying. Especially when it comes to the state of the democratic party. They would try to tank the cure for Diabetes if the Trump administration was going to get the credit.

Look at ol’ Jake looking down his nose at him. What an arrogant POS Tapper is.

That's why our political system sucks. We have the opposite side cheering on illegals.

This is spot on. I honestly think he is the best sounding Democrat right now. I agree with a lot of what he says

Chris Camillo reveals the only way out for a regular person to build generational wealth. If you are a regular person with a regular job, the only crack you have at this is coming to terms with the fact that you can be a great investor. You can just do it on the side and have fun with it. You do not have to work with technicals. You do not need to be a pedigreed Wharton grad. You do not even have to understand finance at all, especially in the day of AI. All you have to do is figure out how to observe the world around you. You just connect the dots of change to companies that are either benefiting or being harmed by the change you see happening. Most of that seeing is simply watching videos on TikTok and reading comments. If that is not a fun way to make money, I do not know what is.

🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith UNLOADS on Dems who refuse to work with Trump🚨 "I've heard politicians on Capitol Hill saying, 'I'm here just to disagree and oppose every d*mn thing Trump wants to do.'"

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Holocaust Survivor & Trauma Specialist Dr. Gabor Maté: ‘Whatever you think of the Ukraine war, you should at least be able to articulate what the other side says about it. You might not agree with that, but when you don't even know, you're not even presented with what is the other side's perspective, what is the history there that the Russians are responding to? Not to justify the invasion, but what is their perspective? What is their historical experience? If you can't even articulate that, then how can you possibly make up your mind about who's right and who's wrong or the mixed up rights and wrongs involved in a particular conflict? And when I speak with Zionists…they have no idea what the experience of the other side is. And it's failure to recognise the experience of the other side is just a commonest human failure, this happens in personal relationships where we all have our perspective and our grievance and we don't even recognise the perspective of the other side. And it's writ large in the political realm where we don't have a clue and we don't even want to. What is the other side actually saying? What is their experience? What are their concerns? And this applies big time to every conflict in the world, including the Ukraine and Russian conflict.’ —Dr. Gabor Maté on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post below 👇

If you're asked who you are and you answer with your job, you missed the question. That’s what you do. It’s not who you are. You are not your job. Not your mistakes. Not even your wins. The real you is deeper. Untouchable. Eternal.

Clint Eastwood on why other people's opinions don't matter: Clint is asked whether he worries more now, or less, about what other people think of him as a person. He says: "I don't really worry too much about that. People have to think what they think. You can't go out and sell some image to them. That would be false to begin with." He continues: "So you just go ahead and do your work and people will form an opinion about you, good, bad or otherwise. It's up to them. It's not anything you can control anyway. So why bother with it? Why worry about it?" Then he lays out the only standard worth measuring yourself against: "If you live your life and you try to do as well as you can for your community, and be helpful, and do the best work you can, be the best mate or parent you can, then that's the best you."

REPORTER: “What do you make of [Pete Hegseth] showing up on his personal time to campaign against a sitting congressman?” MASSIE: “How much personal time do you have when you’re supposed to be monitoring a war in Iran? I think it shows how serious this race is, but it also shows how in trouble the other side is. You don’t send the Secretary of War to Kentucky during a war if you think your candidate is up 10 points. That’s what you do when you realize your whole campaign is imploding.”

"Allowing People to Diminish You is a Violent Act Against Yourself" Keke Palmer: Oprah, what is the single biggest mistake people make in their relationships with others? Oprah Winfrey: You are abusing yourself if you allow other people to be in your life to diminish you. You are punishing yourself it is a violent act against yourself to allow other people in your life to diminish you and not lift you and exalt you. Keke Palmer: Wow... that hits so deep. Oprah Winfrey: If you don't have people who see you for the light that you are, for the joy that you are, for the goodness that you bring... you are with the wrong people! I don't care how that shows up in your life. The reason that person keeps showing up in your life is for you to make the change. You can't change them. Keke Palmer: Absolutely. It’s like guiding yourself back to your own power rather than waiting for someone else to change. Oprah Winfrey: Exactly. You have had the power all along—you just have to remember it.

Tucker Carlson- “If you were in charge, how would you handle (the ice protest)? Nick Fuentes- “This may be unpopular but I think you have to crush the other side. You can either not challenge the left, or you can utterly confront them and defeat them. If you do in the middle, all you are doing is antagonizing and feeding the other side.” Perfectly stated.

How many jobs do you know, that pay over $200,000 so you can actively apply for other jobs? That’s literally what Nate Erskine Smith is doing. If he’s “all-in for Ontario”, he should feel free to resign. Not a single person in Canada elected him to campaign for the leadership position for the Ontario Liberal Party. If that’s your goal and focus, quit.

You can literally hallucinate whatever you want in this reality... if there is what we call lucid dreaming, there is also what we might be unaware of that is called lucid waking. It is where you can see through the all and blend with it at will. You just have to train your mind to do it. It's basically self induced schizophrenia, where you control the hallucinations, the hallucinations don't control you. But you're not actually interacting with real objects, no one else can see them, but you can feel it with all 5 senses, like a dream. They’ve shown us this in the movie "inception".

Asmongold explains his position on war and calls international law a fantasy "I agree with using whatever is required to defeat your enemy to the extent that your enemy seeks your destruction. Whether that's blowing up residential buildings or bombing cars, you do everything you can to ensure the survival of your people." "Who decides if it's a war crime? Something you're not accountable to? You're not one of the international law believers, are you? You don't really have this fantasy that there's a gentleman's agreement you can make with a terrorist state." "The only currency international law is backed by is lead. If you can't enforce it, you can't do it. That's all there is to it."
