Ken Martin at the DNC is twiddling his thumbs. Worried about his inability to raise money for the election campaigns for good faith candidates. When will he pull his head out of his butt and state out loud your sentiment?
"The Trump Family is stealing money from Americans. They are stealing from you. And 272 members of the Senate and House work for them now. Every GOP member who supports the Trump Crime Family is working hard to keep them in power to keep stealing money from you and putting it in their pockets. Vote out every one of them!"
Does the DNC have a better campaign pitch than just plain telling the truth?
Send Melania, her son, and her entire family back to her country. She is here illegally as she certainly has no qualifications that qualify her to receive and Einstein visa. Taking one's clothes off for a camera shoot does not take an Einstein brain. She can take her evil husband with her.
...and hopefully, it will definitely do that to the Dingbat and his cronies.....! You're so right about the phony "I'm a good Christian" declaration that they spout out 24/7. Thanks for your reply!
I cringe every time I see him peddling his 'golden bible"- trying to make money for himself from the sale of a book that millions of people hold sacred - actually imprinting his corrupt and despised name on it. How hypocritical can he get? I bet he cannot repeat five passages from that book of Jewish laws, and I am positive he does not live by the laws laid down on its pages. The one law that he has definitely broken, time and again, is "thou shalt not kill". The life blood of our American military personnel, innocent children, fishermen, and others who died because of him withholding medical assistance is on his hands and no amount of bible thumping can ever wash the red stain from his hands.
2nd reply--the computer isn't cooperating! Only the first part of your reply initially came up. I hit the reply and then the second part did! The "Thou shall not kill" is one that he definitely disregards (1/6 was the perfect example), and half the time it's also the one that those so-called "good Christians" do when it benefits them.
You and me both. I get so enraged every time I hear him speak. That "mute" button on both the remote and the mouse come in very handy!). Doubt he can even read five passages from the Bible. I also doubt that he even owns one or even knows what it is all about! He obviously doesn't know that we really do have a Constitution and a Bill of Rights!
Why should Barron or any or the Trump spawn be more immune to investigation than Hunter Biden? Hunter was accused of doing what the Trump progeny and in law Kushner are doing openly.
I guess I hoped Melania had kept Barron sheltered enough from the ugliness of his father & siblings. But he has the same ugly scowl smug demeanor. If he is simpatico with the Tates, who are T-rumps kind of people, there will soon be ugly headlines about Barron too. And everyone of them should answer for their actions and face their consequences
Also he is grifting with his energy drink thing. That isn't as dependent on insider government info, just his name, but I think he was also looped in on some shady deal with his brothers. And Melania is a grifter too — look at that big payment she got for her failed documentary. That was basically a gift/grift. This whole family is infected.
I thought maybe her ugly scowl and nasty demeanor was a result of being married to T-rump. I would have to think after being lied to, cheated on and embarrassed in front of literally the world, she was just pissed. When she didn't initially move to DC and and claimed she was staying back so Barron could stay in his school, I thought she actually cared about her child. Silly me! She is however, and always will be, the nude model, call girl, grifter she was when he found her.
Besides personally boycotting anything to do with that scum, signing petitions and protesting, what else legally can you do to kick a billionaire in the sperm producing body parts so he loses the ability to reproduce?
And Hunter Biden was not doing it. Whatever they may have accused him of doing, he had no insider government connection. The worst he did was trade on his name like every other nepo baby. Would Malia Obama have gotten an internship at SNL if not for her name? Or Jenna Bush a TV show? Or — the one that really still rankles me — Susan Ford getting to be a Hollywood movie set photographer during the 10 months or so she was playing at being a professional photographer. I AM a photographer and that was my dream job back then. But it's OK. I'm still doing it and she isn't.
Most resentment stems from unfulfilled expectations. Which brings us to Barron who is apparently connected to the radicalized Man-o-sphere who considered themselves victims.
Barron went to top schools. He has had doors open to him that would not be open for someone else. He belongs to a family of extremely wealthy grifters. He does not now nor has he ever had to hold a job where he is held accountable.
And yet he somehow considers himself oppressed?
I guess we have come full circle back to the concept that unrealized expectations are at the heart of most of the rage.
The concept that he thinks he should be the recipient of any number of things based on an accident of birth and gender is not rational. It’s not something he earned beyond accidental existence while living in a meritocracy. That’s not a very high bar.
That's exactly why they accused hunter biden of crimes. They have no concept that others are not as criminal as they are. They think everyone operates inside of the cardinal sins, committing evil every day.
Sorry got interrupted by my son in mid typing! Now I forgot what I was trying to say!🤭🤭🤭It will come to me later ! I have to many hats to wear with kids, grandkids. Everyone needs my attention! I have no time for myself! Sorry!😞
I don't think the world will ever know the depths of the crimes committed by the trump family. When I said that trump lives inside the cardinal sins, I believe they all do, and that they have committed every single one of them. They seem to use the sins as their guiding principles.
If you believe in God, I wish you would explain to me why that God created human beings that are so disgusting. The God that I imagine would not do that. The God that I imagine would have created human beings that, while not being perfect, would not be capable of the kinds of behavior they do now. What possible reason would a God have to make human beings so much worse than any other form of life when it comes to relating to others of their own species? Killing for no reason except that they can. Intentionally starving large numbers of people. Hoarding the riches provided to them. Why? That God has a lot of explaining to do.
Barb; that is one of the main reasons I am not religious. That and the complete fairy tale element of most religious texts which were written largely by men whose main objective was power over women and the illiterate masses (I'm looking at the self righteous 'christian evangelist' and 'death to all non-believers' islamists).
I believe in science and I can never buy immaculate conceptions and the four horsemen of the apocalypse etc rubbish. Karma for me is not spiritually based either. I have just been on this earth long enough to realise that most criminals are not too clever and that usually is what leads to their downfall. As in the entire 'trumpy maga-verse. It's already folding like a cheap suit. If most of us treated each other as we ourselves would wish to be treated; fairly, with kindness, empathy and compassion regardless of skin color, sexual preference, what passport you carry, etc. we wouldn't have to put up with religious bigotry.
I don't believe man really gets to choose, either. You can't convince me that a baby born in Gaza today actually gets to choose anything much in life. If you want to behave a certain way, you don't need to use some being that doesn't exist as an excuse or reason for doing so.
The MAGAts are suffering the consequences of their votes with the cost of living increase and another war. The Felon is spending 1B+ daily of our tax money. We all are living the consequences of their cults decision.
This is exactly why they’re terrified and will do anything if they lose Not sure making public statements like that is a good thing. Maybe surprise them :)
I may be naive but elections are fair. BUT When dealing with Trump and his cult followers who will be working at the polls, Musk lurking about and given that Trump could face impeachment and investigations into his financial dealings, the mid-term elections are at high risk. If republicans win at mid-term elections, democrats should demand a hand count.
Democrats have claimed elections are fair. Up until Trump and his cult worshippers who are ruthless and will use any tactic to win. Harris claimed elections were fair and would either have had to have eaten her words, which would be embarrassing or continued in believing what she espoused. Kind of between a rock and a hard place. Maybe Trump did win fairly. One third of voters could not have been bothered to vote. Maybe they would have made a difference. Who knows? BUT We do know one thing and that is a sadistic incompetent person is at the head of this nation.
I agree the Democrats never even questioned the 24 election when it was so obvious Harris was going to win anybody who followed the campaign trail for both of them knew Harris was going to win. It was the shock of my life, and I knew immediately that they had cheated. Elon Musk put him in the white trash house with his computers. Anyone who preachers all the time about other people cheating is actually the cheaters themselves.. And I agree the Democrats should’ve done something about it, as a matter of fact, the Democrats should’ve done something about an insurrectionist who got away with it. He should’ve been in prison for the last five years for inciting an insurrection and never been allowed to run for president, but I believe the Democrats let that happen. They need to learn you have to fight fire with fire
I was shocked when Jeffries said we are not election deniers , we transfer the power to the elected. Authorities should’ve walked in at that moment and arrested everyone involved!!!
With all of the changes the Republicans are making for voting it's Crazy! We have Never had a problem before until Trump started spreading lies about our voting system! They checked everything again in 2020 and nothing that they found would have made a difference! It cost us a lot of money yet again because of his paranoid delusions!
I am all for punishing the corrupt but I think the new house and senate should focus on rebuilding what the Republicans have torn down first. There is already so much division in this country and just targeting the Trump administration without fixing or undoing some of the problems like doing away with those awful tariffs and passing the housing bill would accomplish so much more. The republicans aren’t going anywhere; there will be time to bring them to justice.
If all the Democrats do when they’re in power is act like Trump and go after all the corruption before doing anything positive for the country they’ll get voted out fast! First-give people back their Snap benefits and health care, end the war in Iran and then go all in on the subpoenas!
Hmmm there will definitely be lots of work for the Dems to improve things for America. I believe though that accountability needs to begin simultaneously as a part of that work. The healing isn't going to begin for people who have lost so much if they have to wait for the right time. In Donny Dumb Dumb's case, how much time does he have left as it is? We talked in posts a few days ago about Nancy Pelosi. I will never forgive or forget that she flat out publicly refused to pursue war crimes against W Bush after all the lies and abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan. The profiteering for all of his corporate buddies. Kickbacks for the Bushes?
Ditto on W. As long as there are no significant consequences, all you're doing is encouraging them to think of more devious criminal ways they can act out against the people, and more illegal ways to pad their bank accounts. smdh I also will never forgive Pelosi...but then I didn't forgive Ford either when Nixon got off scot-free. Seems the elected reps won't want to press for justice perhaps because they also have done a few illegal or immoral things? Otherwise WHY would democrats protect these traitors? I'm wanting criminal court myself. All magas do when brought in to committee is lie. smdh
Or just ignore the subpoenas. The have been trained to believe the Rule of Law doesn't apply to them. They simply use it to their advantage against the rest of us. I agree, they have conducted criminal activities and they need to face criminal consequences.
I think many Americans don't pay that much attention to the graft the Trump family and friends have committed. They are working too hard to just stay afloat. First we need to fix all those issues of affordability. Perhaps a separate committee can address the grift and corruption. But Americans will first notice they can afford to live comfortably before they care about Trump and friends' graft.
Dems definitely need to prove that they can walk, talk & chew gum at the same time by definitely using every tool available to them to hold this horrific corrupt family accountable while getting legislation thru to help ALL Americans! It can be done. They can all learn by following Mamdani’s lead. Our government does not work when the top 10% & corporations do not pay their fair share of the tax burden it takes to run it. End of story! Literally $50 trillion in wealth has been taken primarily from the lower & middle classes. It transferred to that 10% & corporations thru GOP led tax cuts, etc. I graduated from HS in 1974. During that era, families typically had one wage earner & families could afford a car, go on annual vacations, save for college & retirement. The 1980s became the beginning of the era of greed. Regan really kicked it off with his tax cuts & unsuccessful trickle down economics theory. The last time we had a balanced budget & no deficit was under Clinton. Ever since we go thru the cycles of the GOP being in control & reducing taxes to the Dems coming in, raising them back up til the GOP takes over & it starts over. Our debt is now almost $40 trillion under Trump who spends money like a drunken sailor. We have to all work together to define the priorities of the people & work to make that happen. Rant over!🤣
Thank you for the Rant! It's entirely spot on. I loved Clinton,. His platforms were sound. His womanizing seems really tame in comparison and wasn't my concern. I was a single mom and never thought I would ever be able to buy a home. With Clinton, I actually was able to buy my first condo and then was able to sell it for my townhouse. The stars were aligned and I was able to obtain a reverse mortgage just in time, so T-rump can't take my forever home. He would if he could. We The People work hard to earn what we have. So many have lost so much so he can run the country into the ground while golfing and grifting.
That is exactly what people (rightfully) disparage Ford and Biden for: "letting it go" and "being the bigger person," with no accountability for misdeeds. I'm afraid rebuilding will depend on accountability and they will have to do both. They cannot "let it go."
I just had this conversation with my husband yesterday. No "moving on", no "looking forward". These crimes need to be punished or else we'll be subjected to it again and again and again. If the US turns a blind eye to the crimes and corruption, let's "bygones be bygones" we will literally lose what's left of our tattered democracy. The Democrats keep saying no-one is above the law. They need to put their money where their mealy mouths are and investigate, prosecute and convict for every crime committed against the people of the United States.
that's the problem with Democrats we all think they can't walk and chew gum at the same time – we're paying them to do it all – get back our money, imprison the criminals and take care of the working man and woman for a change – if they can't do it all get the fuck out
Rebuilding the components of governance - DOJ, for example- they say will take years. Any legal steps that are not completed with an absolutely strong basis of actions will be the failure point - case thrown out kind of thing, Haste cannot be present. Will drive us all crazy but,,,,
Democrats can walk and chew gum at the same time. Both can be accomplished - fixing what trump and GOP destroyed and investigate/subpoena every single criminal among them. It's been long overdue!
We should be able to do both. Those who are lawyers can go after the law breakers and those in politics can rebuild our country. And we, The People, are gonna have our taxes raised so we can rebuild the federal funds that donald and his merry misfits stole.
If these reps are not capable of focusing on more than one thing at a time, then they should not be in this job. Humans can legislate as well as investigate and commit to applying consequences in the same week for goodness sakes. It doesn't have to be either/or.
I'll never trust a maga republican again, and that includes all people who call themselves republicans, but voted for this regime and all the cruelty they knew deep down in their little hearts they'd get to see and do to those "baby-killing dumcrats". MAGAs have harmed everyone I know and I have no empathy for anyone who supports daily threatening statements toward us.
I expect the Democratic Party to do it all and do it fast – they've been selling us down the river for way too long – that is the way we got here in the first place – we can rebuild and hold those responsible all at the same time. We have got to start holding our Democrat leaders feet to the fire – if they don't want the fucking job then get out.
I like to think -- OK, I *hope* that the fact that they were caught so unawares by the advent of Trump II will have a lasting effect. Some of them have long understood what was going on: Raskin, Warren, Whitehouse, and most legislators of color, among others.
Btw, who's your "we"? So many commenters use the first person plural as if the Democratic Party or the opposition to Trump in general was an identifiable unity. It wasn't, it isn't, and it surely won't be when Trump exits stage right.
Will democrats decide to lean to the right or lean to the left? They've been leaning to the right incrementally for about 40 or so years. I'd like to see them move back to the left and represent me. I've not had representation for decades. Now my reps tell me they represent the voters who voted for the felon only. smdh
I have very little optimism since so many democrats have voted against the people with magas. Democrats have to decide what it is they do support: taking away our rights and threatening us; keeping everything the same, not causing any chaos; or making leaps and bounds to help the people, not the oligarchy by: implementing universal healthcare, universal childcare; affordable food; affordable housing; affordable education; delete the Social Security cap; lower prescription prices; etc. BUT, if elected democrats act as they have for the last 15 years: I think we'll end up a fascist country. :(
everything you say is so on point - all of the things on your list are all incredibly important, but when I look at how Democrats have acted over the years and how they continue to act I fear a fascist nation also. Change, no matter how positive, is always hard in an entrenched organization - but I look at Mayor Mamdani and marvel at his ability to make progress every day for New Yorkers – that is a skill that seems to be in short supply in leadership. Surely there has to be more people like him out there who are willing to serve their country, make giant leaps forward for the people & not corporations & wealthy and can do it with such grace. I'm not sure I've seen it yet in national government.
I think the Democratic leaders know what to do and will surprise a lot of the people who have been disparaging them. Talkers are flashier than doers, but the actions matter more than the pretty speeches.
Well, I heard that there were some elected democrats that are meeting on the weekends to try and figure out how to assure our votes are free and fair, and how to cope with the felon, I guess. I don't know if there are any women being invited, as all the peopIe mentioned were men. But I know Marc Elias has been asked to join the group.
I wish they'd be as smart as the Iranian leader and bring in top psychiatrists to educate themselves on coping with a malignant narcissist and his cruel regime. The Iranian psychiatrists have sure helped their leader.
GREAT ASTUTE COMMENT!!! - you are so right about bringing in a psychologist to deal with this psychopath. I have said that forever and yet sometimes I think we are dealing with a Democrat party that is entrenched in their Old way and not unlike a corporation have a very difficult time seeing the forest for the trees. As A corporate officer, I had a very hard time convincing the old guard on new ways to do things that helped the employees and the corporation and the people they were serving All at the same time. Our leadership in DC is no different.
I wish the minute after the felon's term is up, that all his and his children's and wife's assets would be seized. Then let the Courts determine guilt. The money seized, if found guilty should go to the huge amount our country now owes, thanks to the magas. I think each American currently owes $117,000.00 plus. :(
If he hides some of what he did, then he knows the difference between right and wrong. Don't mix up personality disorders (deficits in character) with mental illness, and give the felon a chance to claim insanity. lol
We could say those that voted for trump and his maga Muppets all are suffering mental illness. They knew who trump was, what he has done in the past, and what he is capable of and still they voted for him. Isn't that the Einstein definition of insane "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome"?
Anastasia, no jail! We the people pay for that! Mental Hospital on heavy meds so we never see or hear him again or have a wonderful celebration when he dies and he pays for it!!!!
Fuck this paedophile protecting bitch Melania she is sorry excuse for a mother does she know her son? Her little baby boy was hanging out with rapists known rapists known sex traffickers? This entire family is pro paedophelia.
That’s why the entire EPSTEIN files must be released in their entirety! Only victims names blocked! Time for the pedophiles n rapists to face the music/media/we the people!!!!!
Exactly. Private Bone Spurs got out of it, but his peers went and died for this country. How he ever became president and commander in chief is beyond me.
Because there are millions of people who love to hate. It's all about the permission to act like a jerk, be mean and cruel to those that are different, without consequences. Some people say they voted for the felon because he would make them rich (why he made a lot of people poor): but, in my experience, they really were more interested in harming others - even if their actions harmed themselves too. :(
I can't wait -- and let's get serious about expanding the Supreme Court. It won't happen overnight, but as terrible decisions go, Citizens United is up there with Plessy v. Ferguson and Dred Scott v. Sandford.
Agree. The Supreme Court claims to be overworked and some cases take years to get on the docket to be considered but yet Trump can file to get his money back from E Jean Carroll for a crime he committed and it is scheduled for a hearing in less than 3 weeks !!!
It was bought before this administration. Citizens United (“corporations are people too”) was decided in 2010, 5 to 4, and all 5 were Republican appointees. Roberts and Alito were appointed by Bush II, and unfortunately they are still with us, as is Clarence Thomas, who was appointed by Bush I (to the seat held by Thurgood Marshall — this will never fail to piss me off).
I hope that if the Dems take the House and/or the Senate that they first start making good on some promises to make things better for Americans. Certainly they should talk about holding Trumpets accountable and discuss how. That would keep them on edge while things get noticeably better in the country.
The reason things are so bad is because the rich people, with the help of the Republicans, are looting the country. The first step is to get rid of them all. Nothing can be accomplished until they are gone.
hmm..I thought melania was from Slovakia. Plus barron is her only child (at least that we know of). Not meaning to pick a fight but there is no relation to tate brothers in melania's family. Still disgusting either way.
arrest the trump crime family
Including Ivanka!! Her name was not mentioned with Jared Kushner!!!
Too busy in Albania trying to take protected land from the Albanians!!

Good one, Patti! Just think of how the Dump would feel if his gestapo (ICE) grabbed her and shipped her off to El Salvador or wherever.........
That would be karma! It has a way of catching up with each of us! Or, for the religious community - 'you reap what you sow!"
...and hopefully, it will definitely do that to the Dingbat and his cronies.....! You're so right about the phony "I'm a good Christian" declaration that they spout out 24/7. Thanks for your reply!

Karen, Melania is no different than everyone involved with Epstein. Barron has similarities to his family members!
You do not seem to know who she is
I thought maybe her ugly scowl and nasty demeanor was a result of being married to T-rump. I would have to think after being lied to, cheated on and embarrassed in front of literally the world, she was just pissed. When she didn't initially move to DC and and claimed she was staying back so Barron could stay in his school, I thought she actually cared about her child. Silly me! She is however, and always will be, the nude model, call girl, grifter she was when he found her.
Go after Elon Musk for inflicting the Trump crime family on this country!
Besides personally boycotting anything to do with that scum, signing petitions and protesting, what else legally can you do to kick a billionaire in the sperm producing body parts so he loses the ability to reproduce?
LOL!!!😂 I’m just in so in agreement with you on that!!!
And Hunter Biden was not doing it. Whatever they may have accused him of doing, he had no insider government connection. The worst he did was trade on his name like every other nepo baby. Would Malia Obama have gotten an internship at SNL if not for her name? Or Jenna Bush a TV show?

I AM a photographer and that was my dream job back then. But it's OK. I'm still doing it and she isn't.
You are correct. Congratulations on your success in your profession.
But be careful on the resentment of all the presidents kids or you might become a MAGA!
Most resentment stems from unfulfilled expectations. Which brings us to Barron who is apparently connected to the radicalized Man-o-sphere who considered themselves victims.

Totally understand...LOL!!
It makes me sooo mad on how relentless this Crime Family was with Hunter!
Calling the pot kettle black!
Hunter don’t hold a tiny little snowflake on his hands!
Compared to the gargantuan amount of crime and corruption the Trump Spawn kids have done !
Secretly and Openly!!!🤯🤯🤯
I have wondered, if the Trump Syndicate is doing all this corrupt BS out in the open, how bad are the things they keep hidden?
I don't think the world will ever know the depths of the crimes committed by the trump family. When I said that trump lives inside the cardinal sins, I believe they all do, and that they have committed every single one of them. They seem to use the sins as their guiding principles.
I am not a religious person, but boy do I believe in karma.
Me too. I don’t believe humans get away with terrible crimes forever.
If you live long enough, you will realize how wrong you are. Unfortunately.
Ah, but if you believe in an eternal afterlife, you know there will be consequences for each and every maga.
If you believe in God, I wish you would explain to me why that God created human beings that are so disgusting. The God that I imagine would not do that. The God that I imagine would have created human beings that, while not being perfect, would not be capable of the kinds of behavior they do now.

God is manifested in man. Satan is manifested in man.
Man chooses which he wants to be.
Those that choose to follow God are always reaching out and trying to help others.
Those that follow Satan are always trying to destroy mankind and especially the efforts and success of those following God.
I don't believe man really gets to choose, either. You can't convince me that a baby born in Gaza today actually gets to choose anything much in life. If you want to behave a certain way, you don't need to use some being that doesn't exist as an excuse or reason for doing so.
The MAGAts are suffering the consequences of their votes with the cost of living increase and another war. The Felon is spending 1B+ daily of our tax money. We all are living the consequences of their cults decision.
They are all slime.
This is exactly why they’re terrified and will do anything if they lose Not sure making public statements like that is a good thing. Maybe surprise them :)
How are the democrats going to deal with the republicons cheating??
They cheated and stole the presidency to stay out of prison and the democrats didn't even bother to ask for a RECOUNT.
We honestly think these evil billionaires would give up their luxury lifestyles to rot in prison forever??
I may be naive but elections are fair. BUT When dealing with Trump and his cult followers who will be working at the polls, Musk lurking about and given that Trump could face impeachment and investigations into his financial dealings, the mid-term elections are at high risk. If republicans win at mid-term elections, democrats should demand a hand count.
Democrats have claimed elections are fair. Up until Trump and his cult worshippers who are ruthless and will use any tactic to win. Harris claimed elections were fair and would either have had to have eaten her words, which would be embarrassing or continued in believing what she espoused. Kind of between a rock and a hard place. Maybe Trump did win fairly. One third of voters could not have been bothered to vote. Maybe they would have made a difference. Who knows? BUT We do know one thing and that is a sadistic incompetent person is at the head of this nation.
Never in the history of this country has a president won all electoral states . Trump even thanked Elon and said how Elon knows computer so well.🤔🤔🤔
I agree the Democrats never even questioned the 24 election when it was so obvious Harris was going to win anybody who followed the campaign trail for both of them knew Harris was going to win. It was the shock of my life, and I knew immediately that they had cheated. Elon Musk put him in the white trash house with his computers. Anyone who preachers all the time about other people cheating is actually the cheaters themselves.. And I agree the Democrats should’ve done something about it, as a matter of fact, the Democrats should’ve done something about an insurrectionist who got away with it. He should’ve been in prison for the last five years for inciting an insurrection and never been allowed to run for president, but I believe the Democrats let that happen. They need to learn you have to fight fire with fire
I was shocked when Jeffries said we are not election deniers , we transfer the power to the elected. Authorities should’ve walked in at that moment and arrested everyone involved!!!
With all of the changes the Republicans are making for voting it's Crazy! We have Never had a problem before until Trump started spreading lies about our voting system! They checked everything again in 2020 and nothing that they found would have made a difference! It cost us a lot of money yet again because of his paranoid delusions!
I am all for punishing the corrupt but I think the new house and senate should focus on rebuilding what the Republicans have torn down first. There is already so much division in this country and just targeting the Trump administration without fixing or undoing some of the problems like doing away with those awful tariffs and passing the housing bill would accomplish so much more. The republicans aren’t going anywhere; there will be time to bring them to justice.
If all the Democrats do when they’re in power is act like Trump and go after all the corruption before doing anything positive for the country they’ll get voted out fast! First-give people back their Snap benefits and health care, end the war in Iran and then go all in on the subpoenas!
People are just as angry about the corruption as the SNAP benefits and gas prices. They have to be simultaneous, and I think they will be.
It's got to be simultaneous. The legal efforts, for those that don't die or flee, will take years to go through the procedures.
They can work on multiple things at the same time
Hmmm there will definitely be lots of work for the Dems to improve things for America. I believe though that accountability needs to begin simultaneously as a part of that work. The healing isn't going to begin for people who have lost so much if they have to wait for the right time. In Donny Dumb Dumb's case, how much time does he have left as it is? We talked in posts a few days ago about Nancy Pelosi. I will never forgive or forget that she flat out publicly refused to pursue war crimes against W Bush after all the lies and abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan. The profiteering for all of his corporate buddies. Kickbacks for the Bushes?
Ditto on W. As long as there are no significant consequences, all you're doing is encouraging them to think of more devious criminal ways they can act out against the people, and more illegal ways to pad their bank accounts. smdh I also will never forgive Pelosi...but then I didn't forgive Ford either when Nixon got off scot-free. Seems the elected reps won't want to press for justice perhaps because they also have done a few illegal or immoral things? Otherwise WHY would democrats protect these traitors? I'm wanting criminal court myself. All magas do when brought in to committee is lie. smdh
Or just ignore the subpoenas. The have been trained to believe the Rule of Law doesn't apply to them. They simply use it to their advantage against the rest of us. I agree, they have conducted criminal activities and they need to face criminal consequences.
I think many Americans don't pay that much attention to the graft the Trump family and friends have committed. They are working too hard to just stay afloat. First we need to fix all those issues of affordability. Perhaps a separate committee can address the grift and corruption. But Americans will first notice they can afford to live comfortably before they care about Trump and friends' graft.
Dems definitely need to prove that they can walk, talk & chew gum at the same time by definitely using every tool available to them to hold this horrific corrupt family accountable while getting legislation thru to help ALL Americans! It can be done. They can all learn by following Mamdani’s lead. Our government does not work when the top 10% & corporations do not pay their fair share of the tax burden it takes to run it. End of story! Literally $50 trillion in wealth has been taken primarily from the lower & middle classes. It transferred to that 10% & corporations thru GOP led tax cuts, etc. I graduated from HS in 1974. During that era, families typically had one wage earner & families could afford a car, go on annual vacations, save for college & retirement. The 1980s became the beginning of the era of greed. Regan really kicked it off with his tax cuts & unsuccessful trickle down economics theory. The last time we had a balanced budget & no deficit was under Clinton. Ever since we go thru the cycles of the GOP being in control & reducing taxes to the Dems coming in, raising them back up til the GOP takes over & it starts over. Our debt is now almost $40 trillion under Trump who spends money like a drunken sailor. We have to all work together to define the priorities of the people & work to make that happen. Rant over!🤣
Thank you for the Rant! It's entirely spot on. I loved Clinton,. His platforms were sound. His womanizing seems really tame in comparison and wasn't my concern. I was a single mom and never thought I would ever be able to buy a home. With Clinton, I actually was able to buy my first condo and then was able to sell it for my townhouse. The stars were aligned and I was able to obtain a reverse mortgage just in time, so T-rump can't take my forever home. He would if he could. We The People work hard to earn what we have. So many have lost so much so he can run the country into the ground while golfing and grifting.
That is exactly what people (rightfully) disparage Ford and Biden for: "letting it go" and "being the bigger person," with no accountability for misdeeds. I'm afraid rebuilding will depend on accountability and they will have to do both. They cannot "let it go."
I just had this conversation with my husband yesterday. No "moving on", no "looking forward". These crimes need to be punished or else we'll be subjected to it again and again and again. If the US turns a blind eye to the crimes and corruption, let's "bygones be bygones" we will literally lose what's left of our tattered democracy. The Democrats keep saying no-one is above the law. They need to put their money where their mealy mouths are and investigate, prosecute and convict for every crime committed against the people of the United States.
that's the problem with Democrats we all think they can't walk and chew gum at the same time – we're paying them to do it all – get back our money, imprison the criminals and take care of the working man and woman for a change – if they can't do it all get the fuck out
Rebuilding the components of governance - DOJ, for example- they say will take years. Any legal steps that are not completed with an absolutely strong basis of actions will be the failure point - case thrown out kind of thing, Haste cannot be present. Will drive us all crazy but,,,,
If they're able to get Jack Smith as AG, he will restructure and retire and get DOJ turned around in months. Let them run with everything.
Rehire not retire
Democrats can walk and chew gum at the same time. Both can be accomplished - fixing what trump and GOP destroyed and investigate/subpoena every single criminal among them. It's been long overdue!
Can’t rebuild until you root out the corruption, or else what you rebuild is on a rotten foundation.
We should be able to do both. Those who are lawyers can go after the law breakers and those in politics can rebuild our country. And we, The People, are gonna have our taxes raised so we can rebuild the federal funds that donald and his merry misfits stole.
If these reps are not capable of focusing on more than one thing at a time, then they should not be in this job. Humans can legislate as well as investigate and commit to applying consequences in the same week for goodness sakes. It doesn't have to be either/or.
All in good time, my pretty, all in good time
I was a Republican all my business career. I do hope they can recover and get some “balls”.
I'll never trust a maga republican again, and that includes all people who call themselves republicans, but voted for this regime and all the cruelty they knew deep down in their little hearts they'd get to see and do to those "baby-killing dumcrats". MAGAs have harmed everyone I know and I have no empathy for anyone who supports daily threatening statements toward us.
I hope and pray the GOP is hit with a napalm bomb
I don’t think Baron learned right from wrong living in that family. I’m sure he won’t respect the meaning of an oath.
Most of the Republicans in Congress don't either.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. As feel good as this sounds, rebuilding our government and actually helping THE people should come first.
I expect the Democratic Party to do it all and do it fast – they've been selling us down the river for way too long – that is the way we got here in the first place – we can rebuild and hold those responsible all at the same time. We have got to start holding our Democrat leaders feet to the fire – if they don't want the fucking job then get out.
AIPAC Shikur Jeffires and Charles "Chuckies" Schumer......OUT!!!! GONE!!!!!!
ZERO ON THE TEST.
I like to think -- OK, I *hope* that the fact that they were caught so unawares by the advent of Trump II will have a lasting effect. Some of them have long understood what was going on: Raskin, Warren, Whitehouse, and most legislators of color, among others.
Btw, who's your "we"? So many commenters use the first person plural as if the Democratic Party or the opposition to Trump in general was an identifiable unity. It wasn't, it isn't, and it surely won't be when Trump exits stage right.
Will democrats decide to lean to the right or lean to the left? They've been leaning to the right incrementally for about 40 or so years. I'd like to see them move back to the left and represent me. I've not had representation for decades. Now my reps tell me they represent the voters who voted for the felon only. smdh
I have very little optimism since so many democrats have voted against the people with magas. Democrats have to decide what it is they do support: taking away our rights and threatening us; keeping everything the same, not causing any chaos; or making leaps and bounds to help the people, not the oligarchy by: implementing universal healthcare, universal childcare; affordable food; affordable housing; affordable education; delete the Social Security cap; lower prescription prices; etc. BUT, if elected democrats act as they have for the last 15 years: I think we'll end up a fascist country. :(
everything you say is so on point - all of the things on your list are all incredibly important, but when I look at how Democrats have acted over the years and how they continue to act I fear a fascist nation also. Change, no matter how positive, is always hard in an entrenched organization - but I look at Mayor Mamdani and marvel at his ability to make progress every day for New Yorkers – that is a skill that seems to be in short supply in leadership. Surely there has to be more people like him out there who are willing to serve their country, make giant leaps forward for the people & not corporations & wealthy and can do it with such grace. I'm not sure I've seen it yet in national government.
I think the Democratic leaders know what to do and will surprise a lot of the people who have been disparaging them. Talkers are flashier than doers, but the actions matter more than the pretty speeches.
Well, I heard that there were some elected democrats that are meeting on the weekends to try and figure out how to assure our votes are free and fair, and how to cope with the felon, I guess. I don't know if there are any women being invited, as all the peopIe mentioned were men. But I know Marc Elias has been asked to join the group.
I wish they'd be as smart as the Iranian leader and bring in top psychiatrists to educate themselves on coping with a malignant narcissist and his cruel regime. The Iranian psychiatrists have sure helped their leader.
by the way - I LOVE MARC ELIAS - So I know it must be a good group
GREAT ASTUTE COMMENT!!! - you are so right about bringing in a psychologist to deal with this psychopath. I have said that forever and yet sometimes I think we are dealing with a Democrat party that is entrenched in their Old way and not unlike a corporation have a very difficult time seeing the forest for the trees. As A corporate officer, I had a very hard time convincing the old guard on new ways to do things that helped the employees and the corporation and the people they were serving All at the same time. Our leadership in DC is no different.
I think the first thing they need to do is to get all the lawless individuals out of government, so they can start to help the people 🇨🇦
The people also want to see justice. Maybe we can recoup some of that tax money stolen from us and put to good use.
I wish the minute after the felon's term is up, that all his and his children's and wife's assets would be seized. Then let the Courts determine guilt. The money seized, if found guilty should go to the huge amount our country now owes, thanks to the magas. I think each American currently owes $117,000.00 plus. :(
Children learn what they live, You are what you eat, or, the shit don't fall far from the asshole!
If he hides some of what he did, then he knows the difference between right and wrong. Don't mix up personality disorders (deficits in character) with mental illness, and give the felon a chance to claim insanity. lol
We could say those that voted for trump and his maga Muppets all are suffering mental illness. They knew who trump was, what he has done in the past, and what he is capable of and still they voted for him. Isn't that the Einstein definition of insane "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome"?
😹 oh believe me this maniac is going to use every old trick in the book to get away with murder - literally.
He can go to jail too.
Anastasia, no jail! We the people pay for that! Mental Hospital on heavy meds so we never see or hear him again or have a wonderful celebration when he dies and he pays for it!!!!
Or be sent to Slovenia
What good is having them under osth when they lie every time their lips move? Oaths mean nothing to any of them.
Fuck this paedophile protecting bitch Melania she is sorry excuse for a mother does she know her son? Her little baby boy was hanging out with rapists known rapists known sex traffickers? This entire family is pro paedophelia.
I really think Mel worked for EPSTEIN!!!! Why the lil impromptu news report short time ago!!!!!
That’s why the entire EPSTEIN files must be released in their entirety! Only victims names blocked! Time for the pedophiles n rapists to face the music/media/we the people!!!!!
Of course she did! She helped Ghislane recruit girls
Connie, she was supposedly Epstein’s girlfriend, before he introduced her to EVIL T.
This time I would love to see the Trump family on friendly prime time television.
Oh, fun!
Barron is 20. He's fair game. They have no problem sending people his age to war, so he can talk to Congress.
Exactly. Private Bone Spurs got out of it, but his peers went and died for this country. How he ever became president and commander in chief is beyond me.
Exactly, a 34 count convicted felon, convicted rapist! And that’s all we know about!
Because there are millions of people who love to hate. It's all about the permission to act like a jerk, be mean and cruel to those that are different, without consequences. Some people say they voted for the felon because he would make them rich (why he made a lot of people poor): but, in my experience, they really were more interested in harming others - even if their actions harmed themselves too. :(
I can't wait -- and let's get serious about expanding the Supreme Court. It won't happen overnight, but as terrible decisions go, Citizens United is up there with Plessy v. Ferguson and Dred Scott v. Sandford.
Agree. The Supreme Court claims to be overworked and some cases take years to get on the docket to be considered but yet Trump can file to get his money back from E Jean Carroll for a crime he committed and it is scheduled for a hearing in less than 3 weeks !!!
SCOTUS is Corrupt as shit and bought by this administration.
It was bought before this administration. Citizens United (“corporations are people too”) was decided in 2010, 5 to 4, and all 5 were Republican appointees. Roberts and Alito were appointed by Bush II, and unfortunately they are still with us, as is Clarence Thomas, who was appointed by Bush I (to the seat held by Thurgood Marshall — this will never fail to piss me off).
IMPEACH AND DUMP TRAITORS, PEDOPHILE ENABLERS, IMPERIALIST THUGS, CAREER GRIFTERS, FASCISTS, FRAUDSTERS, GANGSTERS, AND CON REPUBLICONS EVERYWHERE
finally!
Excited to potentially have my faith in the American justice system restored.
lol and true
I hope that if the Dems take the House and/or the Senate that they first start making good on some promises to make things better for Americans. Certainly they should talk about holding Trumpets accountable and discuss how. That would keep them on edge while things get noticeably better in the country.
The reason things are so bad is because the rich people, with the help of the Republicans, are looting the country. The first step is to get rid of them all. Nothing can be accomplished until they are gone.
A few democrats helped the magas too.
He's a monster. Just like his older stepbrothers.
Not to quibble, but they are half brothers. All spawned by the same evil man.
Think David might have been referring to “the Tate brothers”. Are they not part of the Melania family from Romania?
hmm..I thought melania was from Slovakia. Plus barron is her only child (at least that we know of). Not meaning to pick a fight but there is no relation to tate brothers in melania's family. Still disgusting either way.
The Tate's are from the UK. But they moved to Romania in 2016.
And sister
