Kudos to Shapiro! This is the kind of leadership we need. Vance is disingenuous and oleaginous. He will never be president, no matter how much he lowers himself.

I had to look up "oleaginous," and it's weird.

Next to the definition of it on the Merriam-Webster website was a portrait of JD Vance! Crazy, right???

I am 75 years old and remember when my great-grandfather carried silver dollars in his pocket, and they would roll out when he sat down. The chair would have six to eight when he stood up. No one carries dollar coins anymore. Look what happened with the Susan B Anthony dollar coin. This is another example of them wasting our taxpayers' money. They got rid of the penny because it cost too much. I wonder what this coin is going to cost US!

Stay Strong and be easy on people and especially on yourself. It’s apparent that we are losing control of our country as the Regime threatens citizens to kick in their doors over suspicion.

He will never become president, unless Trump becomes a real fascist dictator, orders his ICE thugs to murder Democratic politicians and voters, but eventually dies, allowing Just Disgusting Vance to become the new president-for-life (and to change his name to Just Diabolical Vance). He may not look ruthless enough, but his recent speeches suggest he knows MAGA voters love cruelty so he's working on transforming from a sociopathic opportunist to a true Trumpian psychopath.

trump is already ordering what you've mentioned. He did it in Minnesota to a Dem politician and her husband. Even took out their dog for Christ sake! Vance would relish that kind of power, but no one will ever allow him. They will try to push miller or one of the religious tools. They are running trump right now anyway.

honest here. When I saw Shapiro speak at the Harris/Waltz rally I was struck with the thought he’d be the better candidate. He is a winner. And he’s a very strong leader, an excellent debater, and a no drama kind of guy.

You're probably right - I don't think trump likes him enough. I wonder who Dear Leader will hand the baton to? The way he looked at Mamdani at that meeting, I thought maybe HE had a chance - but the ideology is wrong. Can't bea woman, or Noem would be in with a chance. Can't be Black - but then again, that would only leave him Tim Scott anyway. Got to be someone smarmy and creepy enough not to just kiss trumps ass, but also clever enough not to let trump realise he's doing it.Can't have embarrassed trump - so Hegseth's out.

Abolish Project 2025

The admin is already using plays straight out of the project and Congress is playing dumb like they are wondering when the administration members do finally decide to come in to be questioned by Congress, they all give Filibuster non- answers. Smug remarks. While talking back to Congress as if they are a kid in the principals office. It’s gross to witness the BS right in front of our eyes we see it. Why is Congress acting as if the R are not already using the twisted, sick, cruelness of this Proj. Already?

They Know about this matter. What are they waiting for? The Proj. Is already more than half way through and moving forward daily. This needs to be addressed and, stopped immediately and if not impeach and, Jailed. They’re going to take America apart, brick by brick.

The Word For This Is Tyranny.

The useless Trumpet SC is failing us. They sure do like giving away more power to the President. No problem sir, we’ll rescue you from the Evil biddings of your life, for the right price. The regime ignores congress. A play out of the Proj.

The DOJ is slow walking the Epstein release and everything else they have been called in to be investigated for by Congress, on purpose. They know that once Proj. 2025 is complete they don’t have to worry about Congress and the laws, messing with their evil plans anymore. Then everything changes and Americans are cooked.

I’m scared 🫣

Please?!?! Call 311 non emergency number and tell a representative your concerns. I’m at my Wicks end. Hello Congress, I’m a American citizen and mom of three. May I please ask what is happening with Proj. 2025 and what are you doing about stopping this madness? Ask why is everyone acting like this is all normal for law enforcement and the government to act this way?

It’s Not. This is Proj. 2025 in motion. It’s moving democracy right off a cliff. We’re now hanging on to our democracy and our freedoms and rights by a thread. Abolish Project 2025 NOW!!!

All the elected people for my state and U.S. that are suppose to represent everyone, only represent whatever the narcissist wants. And they are voted in by their MAGA base. Those running to keep their positions are running on their support and belief in the narcissist. And the narcissist works well for the heritage foundation and their 2025 project. Also, they know the state has been so gerrymandered that a republican or maga will win, outside the large cities. And we often don't even have anyone else running for Congress. They have no fear of losing where I live. :( So they have no need to listen to non-magas...and not listen to even their MAGA base if they disagree with the narcissist.

As Marc Elias says: if we have free and fair elections democrats have a good chance of taking the House, and maybe Senate. But now he's not sure that is possible. I agree with him. But, don't stop fighting. Your children and grandchildren will have miserable lives if you close your eyes and hide from the dangers. And you should be scared. All of us should be scared. Unfortunately, a large percentage of Americans don't want democracy for whatever reason. (I know some people think it's a much smaller group - but I live in a red state in a deeply red area, which may skew the percentages. And here, it's more like 95% are magas.)

Early on, in 2015, I wrote on social media about my concerns. There were plenty of news resources to look up the man's behaviors: the cheating of his contractors, the retribution he demanded, the loyalty he never returned. smh After democrats assured Bernie Sanders had no chance of winning and the democratic candidates obeyed their Party's leaders to drop out: I quit the Party but kept fighting for people's rights that the magas threatened. (I still voted democrat.)

I've watched (protested and wrote letters) the demise of almost everything I fought for most of my life, beginning at age 12. But we've lost most of what I helped to gain over the last 50 plus years. I don't know if Americans can reinstate a real democracy: it's been so long since we actually had one: since democrats have leaned to the right for decades now.

I guess it's time for Americans to experience the hardship of life like those in third world countries. It'll be a truly difficult time for those who refuse to give up living by Jesus Christ's teachings: empathy, compassion, helping others that one doesn't even know... They'll be demonized, possibly hunted down, possibly killed, just for loving others, as Jesus taught. lol It'll be much worse for the children being born today. It's imperative that those that have avoided getting involved, start to fight. It's imperative that those magas who have come to their senses tell these elected folks what they want.

I'm getting pretty old, so I don't protest much anymore. I don't try to confront magas anymore either...especially those that were once close acquaintances and/or previous friends. (I have been surrounded and threatened by magas trying to make me take off my mask during COVID.) I no longer write the people elected: it did absolutely no good, and, silly me, I don't like being called a bitch. I avoid all red baseball caps I see from afar, and those I know that are rabid haters. I help non-magas when I can, (i.e. individuals who are being bullied in the checkout line because they happen to have a different color of skin or speak with an accent...) I'll do what I can, but it won't be like old times, when there were many people that were like-minded.

So, from an old white woman who won't be alive to see the end: keep fighting - at the very least for your progeny's future, would be my advice. And please quit helping your maga family members: it's bad enough our tax dollars are being used to harass, maim and kill us. If you've read to the end: I wish you the strength to keep fighting.

Can you dig into the idea that the ballroom is really being built as a bunker and surveillance center so that Trump/Vance/Peter Theil et. al can spy on citizens and control the country and hide if the "masses" rise up. Can you find a contractor who can talk to this...someone who builds bunkers, etc.??

Although a "bunker buster" bomb may not cause immediate damage, enemies of the US know that taking out the electrical service and/or water cooling for the computers in the bunker would be fairly easy and quickly disable the powerful computers.

There is talk of the US being at a crossroad between a "hard" secession and a "soft" secession. Hard= civil war with Blue States separating from the Red States and forming some new governing entity. Soft= Blue/prosperous states like CA, NY, Conn, NJ etc. not sending their federal tax money to the US Treasury but instead keeping it for their own state purposes, thus starving the Trump regime and Red states of funding. Gov. Shapiro fits into what could become a Soft secession by running a State with our honored values: integrity, caring for all the people, transparency, following the rule of law. Perhaps when people see how well PA and other Blue states are doing, a choice might be made: Residents in Red states might demand their governors/legislatures honor our historic values, or there might be a more concerted push for a Soft secession.
