And Morality. If Dems and non-maga repugs would just get together, they can take this guy out. I do not understand how we got here. How did he manage to take over the R party????????
That's probably why Trump pardoned those morons, to use the idiots as hit men to do his dirty work but guess what fellas..... Trump won't pay you, your expendable
It's also probable that someone around Trump can quietly let anyone in Congress who wavers in support that they can be doxxed, swatted, or intimidated in some other way.
Just look at the front row seats at the inauguaration. Maga or not, Republicans want the $$$$$$$$ represented by those seated there. You don’t poke the bear..
It's going to come down to the Governors and the State Attorney Generals to savethe middle class, the poor, the vetrans and the seniors. The billionaires don't care about us and in fact they hope a bunch of us just die off.
Elon is producing a whole bunch of kids while trying to destroy the planet they share with the rest of us. Soylent Green is coming true. It was the rich business men that wreaked everything and the poor that were turned into biscuits.
Those so called Republicans are standing on one leg In what they see as a Trump tornado! If they stood together, they might bend but they wouldn't break. Unfortunately, they are scaredy cat, feckless cowards, so they pucker up and kiss Trump's rectum. like all the other Repugnant Lemmings!
Well, Chuck Grassley was blindsided, the only reason he confirmed Hegseth is because he thought they have those IG’s the orange turd just fired to hold Hegseth in line. He’s probably kicking himself right now.
Grassly has been a willing and very vocal participant in this shit from the beginning !!! He doesn't feel sorry for a damned thing. His family has moved every single law in Iowa, to benefit corporate farms(exactly like his) !!!
I doubt that. Grassley is a party hack through and through. And if anyone still believes Tweetolini won’t double cross them or stoop even lower, I gotta bridge to sell them. Talk is cheap. So thank you John Fetterman for holding the line, Lisa Murkowski for basically being a decent Republican, Susan Collins for acting on her concerns, and, much as it pains me, Mitch McConnell.
Because they are a bunch of cowards. If Democrats and other liberals could get together with lawyers using their knowledge to work for a few hours a week to stop Trump's assault on our country before America turns into a fascist country.
That's were Legal AF needs to step up and help us, they know the laws! Popok , Karen and Ben need to help us ( We The People ). We have rights that must be SCREAMED FROM THE ROOF TOPS! WE WONT TAKE THIS ANY LONGER!
Please remember that government attorneys such as Mueller and more recently Jack Smith have tried their hardest to stop Trump and MAGA by working within the legal system. They both failed. The reason:
1. Congress and the Supreme Court are corrupt and will fall in line to support Trump when called upon. We have no checks and balances at all. The Court became corrupt when Trump appointed his last Justice. As of 1/20/25, all three branches of government are corrupt.
2. MAGA is a cult. It controls any outlying traditional Republicans with threats of challenges to their Congressional seat. This is insidious and pervasive, but also transparent. MAGA and Trump hold nothing back. MAGA even published Project 2025.
3. Most voters decided that despite the above, Trump should again be President with a MAGA agenda. Citizens who voted for Trump, or who chose not to vote at all, acquiesced to that agenda, as well as the corruption, illegalities and suffering that we are now seeing come to pass. Basically, voters said, ok, go ahead with your plans, even if some are illegal, violate the Constitution, whatever. We are electing you anyway. We want a change.
The country voted; it is done. Those of us who are pro -democracy may and should resist, organize, plan, educate, publish, write, protest, draft corrective amendments and legislation, set up an opposition government ready to assume control when called upon as occurs in countries with parliamentary systems, etc. Start at the local levels.
We are all in disarray now but people will organize. To me, the Democratic Party is an obstacle, not a help or vehicle. It sinks in its own traditions, legacies and rhetoric. It will not unite people. We need a new Coalition that is pro-democratic and otherwise broad policy-wise. I am hoping that we will be able to develop a new forum and platform that will allow for communication and action.
Project 2025 he’s gonna live it through four years. He’ll be completed with all 200 300 other pages are and we will be living in a living hell and the poor women in this world will be slaves to those men. It’s just a sin, I’m an old broad but some of these young women I just hope that they’re strong enough to if they’re dating anybody like that they better run the other way fast
Don' forget to lay blame with his co-conspiritors the Justices of the Supreme Court who told him not even a year ago that he has full Presidential Immunity for whatever he does as President.
That is a power he did not have the first time around.
He is even more dangerous this time because the Supreme Court gave him full Presidential Immunity.
He now trades Pardons for votes, like a cheap pushcart vender.
He pardoned all the Abortion clinic terrorists for the religious vote. Just let them all out of jail to go and crime again against women.
And he can do it, he has full Presidential Immunity, he is untouchable. The only way to stop him is with the 25th Amendment or Impeachment, and those ain't gonna happen so here we are, along for the ride and simply hanging on tight for our lives.
And the top it off some of the stuff that he is doing executive orders are illegal so they’re really not gonna be in effect because he’s just doing whatever the hell he wants and he is going to fulfill that 2025 agenda ice and I just can’t believe that these this country voted this man in to make us turn into a slave market
There is a quote I can't fully remember, maybe someone here will remember and help me out. It is something like if you can convince a white man he is better than any black man you have him in your hand. And that is what Trump did, remember "black jobs?" And he did it towards immigrants, made every white man think he is better than any immigrant.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best black or brown man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
THANK YOU Michael Stayton, thank you. I'll remember that LBJ said it.
And speaking of LBJ, what did you think about Trump's striking down LBJ's executive order on government contractors having to have affirmative action in their workforce? I mean Trump went all the way back to LBJ -to LBJ- to strike again against minorities.
Here is the truth, most businesses are owned and run by white men. And ppl tend to hire people like themselves, it is a natural inclination, they don't even realize they are doing it many times. Soooo by being forced under the threat of not getting a government contract, it forced white men to pause and really think about the job applicants and examine their conscious and subconscious prejudice. It was good for everyone including women who were shut out of executive positions just like the black and brown men were. That executive order was good for women too. And Trump truck it down. All the way back to LBJ, he struck it down.
I click LIKED for what you said. I do NOT like what they is doing with that EO. I did not realize women were included.
Revision for today's time:
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best black or brown man OR the best white, black or brown woman, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

MAGA progression:
MAGA : Make America Great Again
MWAGA : Make White Americans Great Again
MWAMGA : Make White American Men Great Again
MWRAMGA : Make White Rich American Men Great Again
The last one represents the days of white men running slave plantations pre Civil War. Which is where we are heading toward with Trump 2.0.
That is exactly what I keep saying. He’s got so much live things that he is doing is the executive board is some of those how can anybody if if you did the process say no he’s not doing anything wrong
Are there any current Republicans who are not MAGA and not retiring? In any event, I think it's quite simple. Trump's supporters in Congress are letting him do whatever he wants for one or more of these 3 things: money, power, attention. In other words, they want to keep their jobs no matter what, and they don't care about the effect on America. I don't think anyone is a politician out of the goodness of their heart. There's always some love of that triad that goes along with politics ON BOTH SIDES! Hated saying that, but it's true. Look at what happened with Biden. He liked the power and attention if not the money -- though Hunter certainly did -- and didn't care that by trying to retain the Presidency, he effectively turned America over to Trump.
Complain about Biden? hmmm. The man was quite able to beat Trump until his age got the best of him. You forgot to mention he organized the greatest allied resistance to Putin in modern times, managed to eke out a ceasefire in Gaza. Made history by nominating the first Black woman to the Supreme Court and selected Kamala Harris, the first woman of multi-ethnic background as vice president, and passed an awesome infrastructure bill. He made mistakes, but nothing compared to the MAGA attack dogs that spent millions trying to "impeach" him for,,, what? If you need someone to blame, take a look at the 30% of eligible Americans that weren't interested enough to vote at all.
I don’t agree with your comment at all just saying I think Brian did a great job of his country. He turned a whole shit load of things around. You will see in four years. Trump won’t do one of those. He’s only about himself. He only wanted to win because he didn’t wanna go to jailthat’s it. That’s the only reason I don’t give a crap about us not one if you think he does you are delusional.
Well, we fems have a much stronger spine and something else, none of you magas have: a heart and a conscious. Repubs too, if they're not fighting against this dictator
You don't really believe he will walk away in 4 years. We are stuck with him and his ilk forever. As I speak they are working on a bill to let a person run for president 3 times if they haven't been president for 2 consecutive terms before (to block Obama).
They need to be shamed back into reality! They need to be constantly called out and shamed! The democrats need walk behind them repeating it in unison and remind them that their own kids, their own families will be doomed to live in misery under tRump just like everyone else! Their constituents need to call congress and call them out! We the people need to do what main stream media is not! The reason I’m subscribed to Meidas Mighty is because this is what they’re doing but we need more on a much bigger scale that would break through to their f’ed up brains!
This is true. We are dead in the water because of the Supreme Court and there’s nothing we could do because he’s got four more years less we get him out of there which I don’t believe he got there legally anyway I believe that Elon Musk was in charge of that service and what’s the big deal changing a number that’s how I feel I might be not correctly saying it but that’s what I think and I hear it and everybody’s talking about it but nobody doesn’t hear about it. We can’t we have to go to Congress
I don’t understand how the Republicans that are not mags standby and let this man in one week do what he’s done they know full well they can help the Democrats and get this guy settled down, but they are such traders and I don’t. I’m not the mega the regular Republicans The people that were in the in there for years and they know how we work the system we work together they’re letting this man just do whatever the hell he wants in four years nobody’s gonna recognize this country and he’ll walk away a zillionaire because he’s stealing left and right from everybody and everything and every state and government all that bullshit
They may not be maga but they are missing an important part of their anatomy. A spine.
And Morality. If Dems and non-maga repugs would just get together, they can take this guy out. I do not understand how we got here. How did he manage to take over the R party????????
Narcissist are master manipulators and he’s the biggest con man anybody’s ever seen 👺👺😡😡
Worst,
Because if an R goes against him, he makes sure that person pays the consequences at the polls.
There was an article by Don Jr. Threatening them if don't back Dump this is what will happen
How can any of threatening be legal?
Because the reich has enjoyed a double standard since 1776
That's probably why Trump pardoned those morons, to use the idiots as hit men to do his dirty work but guess what fellas..... Trump won't pay you, your expendable
Plus the fact he is going to need a body guard when the members of the secret service decide their loyalty is to the country, not him
The secret service won't do that because they need their paychecks. Like everyone else.
Don't bet on it either way
I don't bet
To Double down pun intended, every time you walk out the door, especially with the Reich in Charge you are betting that you might get to walk back in
It's also probable that someone around Trump can quietly let anyone in Congress who wavers in support that they can be doxxed, swatted, or intimidated in some other way.
We are talking about a sociopath, after all.
Just look at the front row seats at the inauguaration. Maga or not, Republicans want the $$$$$$$$ represented by those seated there. You don’t poke the bear..
Whole bunch of governors were urinated on and told by the oligarchy that it is raining. God bless the Governor resistance underway!
Same for the whole Police Department
It's going to come down to the Governors and the State Attorney Generals to savethe middle class, the poor, the vetrans and the seniors. The billionaires don't care about us and in fact they hope a bunch of us just die off.
Elon is producing a whole bunch of kids while trying to destroy the planet they share with the rest of us. Soylent Green is coming true. It was the rich business men that wreaked everything and the poor that were turned into biscuits.
I have also been thinking about Soylent Green quite often this past year.
Lol a friend borrowed me a copy to watch ages ago, haven't watched it yet but will do
Love that movie!
It was a movie about a dystopian world where they killed us and fed us human beings...
Surely it's up to ordinary decent people of the middle class to help Governers etc by physically protecting them and others who show courage.
Ben, how do we reverse this debacle?
Yep. Plus they are too worried about losing their jobs. A big reason that term limits need to be a thing.
And they are COWARDS, ALL OF THEM
In Congress for sure!
and especially the supreme court!
Sorry disagree here, the reich wing supreme court BELIEVES that are o Superior to all, and according to them we should bow and take it
Well fuck that shit.
That's just it, they are doing that to us
Yes they have fucked us over.
Remember when they out grow their usefulness to dear leader, they have given him the right to eliminate them
And a brain and a moral and ethical compass and a sense of duty to their constituents and their country, and democracy and the Constitution and ...
🖕
A confederacy of dunces!
Those so called Republicans are standing on one leg In what they see as a Trump tornado! If they stood together, they might bend but they wouldn't break. Unfortunately, they are scaredy cat, feckless cowards, so they pucker up and kiss Trump's rectum. like all the other Repugnant Lemmings!
Well, Chuck Grassley was blindsided, the only reason he confirmed Hegseth is because he thought they have those IG’s the orange turd just fired to hold Hegseth in line. He’s probably kicking himself right now.
Grassley should have kicked himself.out of the Senate decades ago! He can't see what's right In front of his face!
Grassley is beyond his sell by date!
Grassley expired a long time ago! He's just too dumb and numb to know it!
Grassly has been a willing and very vocal participant in this shit from the beginning !!! He doesn't feel sorry for a damned thing. His family has moved every single law in Iowa, to benefit corporate farms(exactly like his) !!!
I stand corrected.
I doubt that. Grassley is a party hack through and through. And if anyone still believes Tweetolini won’t double cross them or stoop even lower, I gotta bridge to sell them. Talk is cheap. So thank you John Fetterman for holding the line, Lisa Murkowski for basically being a decent Republican, Susan Collins for acting on her concerns, and, much as it pains me, Mitch McConnell.
So Chuck Grassley is stupid. That isn't being blindsided.
If he's not kicking himself, someone, anyone had better
Lemmings…It’s what I like to refer to magats as!
Because they are a bunch of cowards. If Democrats and other liberals could get together with lawyers using their knowledge to work for a few hours a week to stop Trump's assault on our country before America turns into a fascist country.

I love your MAGA progression.
It's so true.
It shows how people can be lead just a little step at a time, how they can come to accept fascism. Just one small step at a time.
Surely there is a ton of cause for impeachment right now, what is wrong with them all!
That is exactly what I keep saying. He’s got so much live things that he is doing is the executive board is some of those how can anybody if if you did the process say no he’s not doing anything wrong
There is something in it for them.
U are right

So sorry -- who is Brian?
She clarified that. Typos are not fatal.
The Republicans have been there all along anabling Trump since day one. If they had a spine, they would have done something long before now.
How do Democrats???
Ooh, the whataboutists are out and about!
Look, Republicans are responsible for the Orange Dump heap. They are the ones that need to clean it up.
And how can you think Republicans will clean up the orange clown and everything we are going through?
Well, we fems have a much stronger spine and something else, none of you magas have: a heart and a conscious. Repubs too, if they're not fighting against this dictator
You don't really believe he will walk away in 4 years. We are stuck with him and his ilk forever. As I speak they are working on a bill to let a person run for president 3 times if they haven't been president for 2 consecutive terms before (to block Obama).
And that is what is called a distinction without a difference.
This is on TikTok, but it explains how badly our schools failed us in history. It explains perfectly why we are here now!
