What a frightening, dark, inhumane world we must live in. How this monstrous, brutal bully, his unscrupulous henchmen republicans, and those ass-licking oligarchs are changing the US and the world is terrifying. Every tiny act of resistance means hope and resilience!

Anyone remember when Mitch McConnell could have ended this?

Gloria Castillo's avatar

Mitch McConnell and John Roberts own the destruction of our democracy

Why is it so impossible to predict the evil that men do?

Kary4's avatar

Most of us do not have evil in our strategy, making that not what we think of easily. We are learning with Trump and his Ugly Regime to think of evil doing first as they have proven to us.

I did but wasn't listened to. In my micro-sphere of western Pennsylvania, I tried to raise awareness and Pro-Democratic self-defensive readiness but wasn't listened to. And how did I know? because all the symptoms of former yugoslavia before the yugoslav wars were in USA already by the time tRumputin came down that escalator in 2015.

p.s. though, trumputin's-his kkkult's evil actually surpassed even these worst traumatic dreads.

Because women are told to shut up and go make a sandwich? Could that be why?

That's why I don't. I will practice my equal right to speech until the day I die!

Ben Meiselas has been predicting exactly what is happening now - for years. So has Bernie sanders - for decades. It's only very recently that people are waking up and starting to listen to them.

It's not. They not evil. They're mega mentally unsocialized.

🌟 “So THAT Was a ‘Liberal Government’?” 🌟

So that’s what they meant

when they sneered with a scoff,

at “liberal government”

like something to cough?

It wasn’t a slogan

or fuzzy word-play—

it meant “We the People”

had help on rough days.

It meant grandma could breathe

when the rent ran too high,

and a sick kid could heal

without fear in their eye.

It meant roads that were safe,

and clean water to sip,

and a paycheck with rules

so it wouldn’t just slip.

It meant overtime counted,

and scams met a fence—

not “Oops! You got tricked!”

with a shrug and no sense.

It meant bipartisan hands

could still stitch and could mend—

not a winner-take-all

till the whole thing would bend.

But now comes a crew

with a blueprint and grin,

who whispers, “Unplug it—

let profits roll in.”

They holler, “Cut back!”

while they tighten their hold,

and sell off the commons

like scrap made of gold. 💰

And careers? “Oh well—

go ICE, or lock doors!

Go private-prison paperwork,

go work factory floors!”

“Go blue collar,” they say,

“Go figure it out later!”

While the ladder gets kicked

by a grinning escalator.

And neighbors get targeted—

immigrant, citizen, friend—

like cruelty’s a policy

that doesn’t need end.

But we grandparents know

how a country stays strong:

with fairness, with truth,

and with rights that belong.

So we clap for the brave ones

who light up the night—

Indy media lanterns

who keep facts in sight! 👏🏼🕯️

We share and we comment,

we don’t let it dim—

because “We the People”

means all, not just them. 🇺🇸✨

“Turns out ‘liberal government’ meant public security. Let’s protect it—together.” 🕯️💛

You are most certainly entitled to your opinion, as am I. However, I won't tell you to fuck off or tell you your comment is worthless. That's a MAGAt response. Instead, I'll just thank you for providing an additional and different perspective.

JohnC-Va's avatar

Yeah, my apologies. I’m just tired of Joe Biden continuing to get dumped on by everybody but especially by that lying criminal in the White House. I’m deleting it.

Dik de Bruijn's avatar

No need to apologize. You had an opinion and voiced it. I respect that.

Trump is deranged and unhinged

Michele2's avatar

Yes, but if "distraction" vs. "focus" is our choice, we need to make focus our "mantra" for 2026 and beat Trump and regime at their own game..

uRNangel423's avatar

Agreed, but the ones that are doing this evil are “the ones behind the curtain!” Miller, Vought, JD, Theil are the co-presidents who are writing the executive orders and the policies all in DT’s name. We need to get these people out, because DT has no clue of their agenda most of the time by his own admission-“I don’t know about that, you’ll have to ask…”

Hi Alex have a great evening

Monte Hickmon's avatar

chump and his criminal regime are domestic terrorists

Bob Brough's avatar

Agreed, they should be at the top of trump's so called National Terrorists, not only are they a threat to the USA but they have already damaged the country severely

Vel Santic's avatar

And the world, too!!

Vel Santic's avatar

yep. and foreign too 'cause they've so conjoined with the foreign terrorists that they became synonymous.

It's now or never America - either get him the hell out of there as fast as possible or pay a price that is so unbelievably bad it isn't even comprehendible at this point.

Dik de Bruijn's avatar

And just how does America "get him the hell out of there?" Easy to say -- please provide concrete and POSSIBLE steps to achieve this.

Barry Cusitar's avatar

Impeachment, plain and simple! Every American who gives a damn needs to call their Senator and Congressman every day and be loud and clear about it. They don't have spines, so we must make them grow some. They should realize that once there is total control, their gig will be up too, the knives will turn on them.

Lesta B's avatar

Impeach??? And how has that worked out for us? He's got two impeachments under his belt. A third on will be nothing more than another trophy for him. He doesn't give a damn!

Dee Joy's avatar

General strike, stop paying taxes, economic blackout, mass protests 24/7.

Stop funding this American Holocaust and genocide

Get serious and stop this evil regime before millions of innocent people continue to get slaughtered and tortured in concentration camps

Boycott billionaires 2025

Billionaires create poverty

Billionaires are killing democracy

Time for General strike & 24hr protests, stop paying taxes,

Report trumpedo regime to ICC & IJC

Contact Olympic committee not to go to USA due to fascism

Boycott all billionaires and corps that support trump. Do not feed evil and greed

WJB Motown's avatar

The first step is true opposition to MAGA that is 100% USA. Remove all AIPAC money.....Chuckles and Jeffries need to go. Young progressive people with real dreams,.zero coporate funding and no centrists could right the sinking USS Titanic.

Diane's avatar

Agree but what comes next? He is the deranged front man who charmed the ignorant but the people the extreme right wing has installed will still be there along with the corrupt liars on our SC. It took decades to get here and the fight to develop an honest govt that will address all the challenges we face will take a generation. If the Dems win big next year, they must not just turn the other cheek. That will just encourage the monsters. They must be prosecuted and imprisoned while we reestablish strict antitrust regs and restore the actions that are govt of, by, for the people. Are we up for this long term struggle?

When are the Governors going to get together to shut off the spigot of tax money that flows from the states and the state's citizens and employers to the Federal Gov't. The purpose of these taxes, disaster relief, education, food, and other essential programs to protect the people of the United States are being reapporiated for illegal purposes.

The tax money paid by "we the people" need to be kept by the States so their leaders can take care of the United States Citizens that trumpf has abandoned for his own personal enrichment.

Laurette Baker's avatar

That is exactly what I think! If he is able to with hold aid that was ALREADY approved by Congress, then ANY STATE that WANTS TO HOLD BACK federal taxes should!!! WTF does that cockeyed SOB, Kash Patel, need with an armor plated BMW!(A FLEET OF THEM!) THAT BASTARD TRUMP WON’T BE HAPPY UNTIL THE COUNTRY IS BANKRUPT!! I hope he chokes to death on all that food at Mar-a-Shithole, while average Americans have to count every penny, just to eat!! WTF, WHEN IS CONGRESS GOING TO GROW SOME BALLS & PUT THE BRAKES ON THIS? I have had an anxiety issue for many years & this doesn’t help! MAYBE I SHOULD SUE TRUMP! If he’s really dying, I wish he would HURRY UP DO IT! I would celebrate for days!🎉🥳🎊

BS Kristi Noem.

They were disappearing people who showed up at asylum hearings. Why should anyone believe Kristi Noem now that they will provide travel back to an Immigrant’s home country? After all, that plane load of Venezuelans that were sent to CECOT thought they were going home to Venezuela.

Not good. And our military has clearly capitulated.

What’s it going to take for the people to rise up and stop this Regime? How far are Americans going to let it go? Invasion of neighbouring countries? Gas chambers? Seriously, this has to stop NOW!

Yes and that must be, simply, must be sustained and ongoing!! I know it's easier said than done but the situation is THAT horrific!!

i wonder that as well; we keep saying enough is enough but what are we doing? evil and destruction are here now

Earthgirl's avatar

Stop funding federal regime with tax dollars. States need to hold them. Military needs to abandon the tyrannical regime that is utilizing them to break laws - people need to get ready in their own stead’s. Until these roaches are physically removed and detained OUT OF ACTIVE OFFICE we will not make progress in saving democracy. Wait until 2026 to elect all new Dems in place of Repubs? Regime has already rigged the votes to be placed, and is cinching up all possible by gerrymandering states too. If there is a revolution you can count on oligarchs buying armies to fight back the American resistance.

Dik de Bruijn's avatar

Don't forget that more than half of "the people" want -- or wanted -- this regime. If a significant of those people won't change their minds and VOTE, the Regime can't be stopped.

Earthgirl's avatar

I’m not convinced that the election was not rigged, and that this Regime did not win legitimately. If there were an election today i do not believe tRump would win. The regime has planned this so deeply and over time to ensure they will not lose. The only thing they can never predict and plan against is our reaction. So far we’ve made it easy for them to roll over on us and keep the rate of abuse at high speed. We have leverage to use to stop them. But it is going to be a declaration of war when we decide to use it.

Dik de Bruijn's avatar
