Wow. The DNC had a PR team set up cameras with the parents of a dead soldier for a publicity stunt to make sure he secures the black vote in the 2024 election by doing something nice.

Yep. Should be a private phone call.

Dumbass

Trump would never make that call, period...

Yes. I am sure you are right. He hates black people. Jews too. Oh wait....

That call was not just about pandering to voting demographics. The DNC knows all too well the brain dead "Never Trumpers" will eat that shit up too and will bring a few more of them out on election day. Sad we have to politicize a soldier's death like that.

Yeah, nobody has ever politicized a soldier's death before...

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him...

Lots of shitbag politicians have, including genocide joe.

For IB (I wouldn't be surprised if he's a longstanding member of this forum):

Restricting female rights is about equalizing power, not having power over women

For me? Why would I want that?

Do you even know what an "incel" is?

Yep, a fifty something virgin like you.

This kinda reminds me of IB:

Beneath the pressure of torments such as these, the feeble remnant of the good within me succumbed. Evil thoughts became my sole intimates -- the darkest and most evil of thoughts. The moodiness of my usual temper increased to hatred of all things and of all mankind; while, from the sudden, frequent, and ungovernable outbursts of a fury to which I now blindly abandoned myself, my uncomplaining wife, alas! was the most usual and the most patient of sufferers.

One day she accompanied me, upon some household errand, into the cellar of the old building which our poverty compelled us to inhabit. The cat followed me down the steep stairs, and, nearly throwing me headlong, exasperated me to madness. Uplifting an axe, and forgetting, in my wrath, the childish dread which had hitherto stayed my hand, I aimed a blow at the animal which, of course, would have proved instantly fatal had it descended as I wished. But this blow was arrested by the hand of my wife. Goaded, by the interference, into a rage more than demoniacal, I withdrew my arm from her grasp and buried the axe in her brain. She fell dead upon the spot, without a groan.

What you wrote reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe.

Why would that remind you of me? I am not in poverty. I have no basement. And what human being nowadays uses the word "hitherto?"

Gallbraith was communist (as most economic academics who never earned a dollar outside of government or education, were.) Every comment of his should be discarded and discredited as the meandering words of a Canadian who felt he had far less in life than he was deserving.

That won't get you too far, brah. Been a long time now that anyone who doesn't want to hand everything over to the billionaires and let them do whatever they want is accused of being a commie, including right of center Biden, Obama, and the Clintons today. It's nothing more than over the top Mccarthyism and you have to be a real dum-dum to fall for it.

Gallbraith's "angst" was not with the billionaires. Gallbraith was smart enough to know that there are not enough of them to make a difference.

His "angst" was always with the same people that today's left directs their "angst" today, the middle class and upper middle class, Christ worshipping, anti-Transgender, nuclear families. There and tens of millions of them and Gallbraith never thought that they were generous enough with people (like him) to decide how that generosity was to be spread around to the people that he thinks, need it. Those people focused their resources solely on their own families and on their churches. To Gallbraith, that is "selfish."
