1. I should know better, but I was

hoping it was mobilizing over the Texas snitch bill. Silly me

[Fla Dem]

6. That was exactly my first thought and said hooray before I read the post.

[aggiesal]

10. I call it the ''Abortion Bounty" law n/t

[ShazzieB]

16. Me, too, XanaDuer 2. 😕

[The Unmitigated Gall]

20. Yep, me too.

Goddammit.

2. Too bad corporate America

isn't as concerned with protecting women's rights, voting rights, etc instead. We need to tax the hell out of the 1%.

12. Corporate America actively behind the ending of all those rights you list.

Texas is the test case for corporate America's transition from democratic governance to corporate governance.

Two of these, AT&T and Dell, are listed as the "just" companies LOL, and Forbes loves to promote "justice" capitalists.

18. No they are worried about their tax rates.

[Lunabell]

3. We really need to get corporate money out of politics.

They have WAY too much influence on our legislators.

7. they are not legislator's - they are me , me , me , me . !

Was unnecessary. Even when I do a search you don't always catch the previous post. A number of my posts have been duplicated and once even triplicated but it wasn’t worth it to scold the posters.

13. In GD, It's Not Even Necessary

There's no rule about duplicates in GD like there is for LBN.
And, things come & go off the first page of GD, I don't think there's anything wrong with a duplicate thread about an interesting topic.
In LBN, we're supposed to search before we post. In GD, we post what interests us. And, that's ok by me.

14. You're not alone. A number of us look like crazy but still mess up. I think the whack-a-molers

are easing up lately since many people really do miss the first OP and need another notice.

I hear you. It's not necessary when all people are doing is trying to share and inform.

19. I posted a video of Biden's entire Afghanistan speech 5 minutes after he gave it,

but because I posted it in LBN rather than Video & Multimedia I got a nastygram.

21. Gosh people can be so unforgiving to those of us not as perfect as they are.

Hard to believe they’re on our side.

5. The Tipoff

was when they said jump and Manchin asked how high? Then he released his 'hit the pause button' claptrap.

[monkeyman1]

9. well, his kid got 30 million when drug manufacturer bailed VA . short memory people !

[Mr.Bill]

11. This puzzles me.

I would have expected they would be rushing to see how much of the 3.5 billion they could steal.

[Crunchy Frog]

15. What does corporate America have against infrastructure?

I would think they would benefit from it.

[Bev54]

17. Well that explains Manchin n/t

[certainot]

22. corporate america's biggest friend is rw radioi - which liberals studiously ignore. we even

let 87+ major universities support 260 xlimbaugh stations

corporate america's hold over a lot of pols is through the local republican radio stations, and a lot of the loudest ones depend on university andd pro sports to bring in the ad dollars. get a few to start looking for apolitical alts and the rest will have to follow or lose many advertisers who never supported the fascist lies but were there for convenience and discounts offered in exchange for placement choice.

if corporate america paid $1000/hr, 1200 stations doing 15hrs/day are worth $90M/week or $5B/yr - and it's all FREE for republicans and corporate interests. right now they'r e working overtime with massive hypocrisy blaming biden and dem politician for covid deaths and global warming disaster response

so when people complain about money in politics remember that that actually enables assholes like manchin by creating made-to-order constituencies for global warming denial, for instance

dems need to figure it out

23. All under the cover of blaring Afghanistan and abortion newz. nt
