To survive, democracy must have support from every American who cherishes it

Biden Admin Awards $2.2 Billion in Funding for 166 Infrastructure Projects
The Biden administration on Thursday announced 166 new grants totaling more than $2.2 billion for transportation infrastructure projects.
The grants come from the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program, which the administration says has seen its funding more than doubled as the result of $7.5 billion over five ears provided by the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

TRUTH TO POWER, POWER TO TRUTH - An ex-CIA, Bush appointed director says today's Republican Party is the MOST DANGEROUS cult he's EVER seen. "Nothing's even close" he said. And this is a guy who's seen Al Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS.
THAT should TELL US SOMETHING:

Enough politics before law: The US must abandon presidential privilege and prosecute Donald Trump | Salon.com
Fox News host wonders aloud whether Trump could have tried to sell highly classified material to the Russians or Saudis
I, too, am angry with Garland and the FBI over the Mar-a-lago raid, but for very different reasons.
Biden and Democrats need work to make sure voters know Republicans voted against everything they wanted

I have issues with morals, and ethics, and in this case civility....
I do not think any politicians have any of the above, perhaps civility, bc that's how they survive. And make their **** speeches.
But morals or ethics? Fook no! They left those at the front door when they started politics.

The argument sounds somewhat like the (imo, FALSE) equivalency argument some were advancing back in 2016 between Hillary and Trump. And we know now how THAT turned out.RunningWithScissors » 20 Aug 2022, 8:24 am » wrote: ↑ I have issues with morals, and ethics, and in this case civility....

However you're entitled to that opinion. And perhaps somewhat true to a certain extent.
But I also happen to think there are those who have more morals and ethics, and those who have FAR LESS.
And therein lies a VERY important difference.

You're totally different. I appreciate it though.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Violent far right extremism is on the ballot nationwide - Democrats need to make it THE issue
Pennsylvania Democrat exposes the dangerous threat Republicans pose to the country One prominent candidate in Pennsylvania is making sure his opponent’s connections to violent extremism are an issue in the governor’s race there, setting a great example Democratic candidates—especially in swing states—should follow.
Josh Shapiro, the current state attorney general, is the Democratic nominee for governor and is committing more than $1 million to television ads in the state to expose Republican Doug Mastriano’s ties to Gab, the far-right social media network.
It is especially resonant for Pennsylvanians as the mass murderer who killed 11 worshippers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue in 2018 posted his antisemitic hate on the Gab site. Mastriano paid Gab $5,000 for “consulting” services. He also was interviewed by Gab CEO Andrew Torba, and told Torba: “Thank God for what you’ve done.
”One of Shapiro’s ads describes Gab as a “white supremacist website” where “minutes before Jews were killed at this synagogue, the murderer posted his hate-filled plan,” and highlights Mastriano’s ties to the site.

Hillary Clinton tried to warn us — and paid the price. Let's at least call Republicans what they are | Salon.com
excerpt:
During a speech in September 2016, Hillary Clinton — then the Democratic presidential nominee — warned the American people and the world of the dangers represented by Donald Trump and his followers. She described the "volatile political environment" of that moment. In many ways, Clinton was too kind. If anything, she underestimated how many Americans were in fact committed and enthusiastic human deplorables.
Today's Republican Party is in fact a right-wing extremist organization, and fascist in all but name. Its followers and voters embrace and act upon those values and beliefs. To claim that there is some other Republican Party, somehow separate and distinct from right-wing extremism — as too many commentators and political observers do — is to assert a difference that does not substantively exist.
