I think it’s great that Canada and these other countries are standing up to Trump so as a Democrat, my question is when is the Democrat party going to stand up to Trump in a way that really matters and not just lip service?

Alas. Democrats have no authority to order the military to do anything. The Republicans own the House, the Senate and the Presidency, as well as the Supreme Court.

That’s why you have to start working on the republicans in the senate and house. The majorities are slim. Surely you can put enough pressure on a handful of them to vote with the Dems.

Well I hear Susan Collins is concerned. Sorry. I don't expect anything from the republicans. I believe we need to continue to put pressure on the Dems in Congress. Maybe enough will wake up to the reality that this is not the old republican party - which frankly wasn't that great to begin with. And I am not talking Lincoln's Republican Party.

Still, Republicans need to hear from all voters so they understand how broad and deep is the resistance. Republicans who are aghast at what Trump is doing need to contact their representatives an Senators to say they will not vote for them in 2026.

She's always concerned but immobile. But hey, at least she's leaning a good way = needs some help. Help, over here please...

If I had a $1 for every time Collins is/was concerned, I'd be rich.

Guess who heads the DOD? Well, the military will just have to walk over DOD first, then go get fatass, Elon and JDbutternuts.

We ALL need to speak out against the illegal AND unethical AND unconstitutional things this rogue and reckless president is allowing to happen, right in plain sight. People need to communicate (free speech) to be heard.

That’s what I want to know. When do the Democrats start a resistance ? I haven’t seen anything yet that even comes close to the uprising that happened after George Floyd was murdered on live TV. The courts aren’t going to help. They’re all in Trump’s back pocket too.

Maybe at the top. My concern is for those just doing their jobs. How many have gone to the other side?

Good question. Their silence is deafening. Could it be they're in an embarrassing spot because if the speak out they're offending the corporations and these same corporations have been putting cash in the Dems pockets. We're seeing a one party system. The party of MONEY! (Chomsky)
