I can understand checking out. You read the bizarre list of news, day after day, and don't know what to focus on. It's actually a proven tactic used by dictators: they flood their population with this type of chaotic nonsensical news until everyone checks out, allowing the dictator to do whatever he wants.
People are paying attention, and when you do it on a pretty much daily basis, it is much easier to follow. That's what brings me here. You'd better believe folks are following gas prices, though. If they can do that.......
Mulch is supposedly returning to work this week. I cannot wait to see how they spin this one (one theory I heard is he will be working from home "remotely."
‘Grind the country to a halt’: Democratic Senator urges national strike if Trump meddles in midterms. (S)
From The Guardian, February 5, 2026
“The Democratic senator from Arizona ,Ruben Gallego has proposed that, should Donald Trump try to sabotage the midterm elections, Americans should respond with a general strike that would “grind the country to a halt”.
“If we have to destroy the stock market to save democracy, we need to accept that and, more importantly, the richest and the most powerful people in the world and in this country need to understand that that is a real possibility. There is no economic stability without democratic stability. If you take away our democratic stability, we will take away the economic stability.”
From The Peaceful Solution:
All praise to the Senator for proposing a meaningful method to oppose the fascist takeover of the country. We need people of his stature to lead this effort.
It is past time to escalate the resistance, and this proposal would certainly do that. But for many people, if you don’t work, you don’t get paid. And for how long could most people keep it up? And with AI coming for a lot of people’s jobs, this would be the perfect opportunity for businesses to fire a lot of people.
Here’s another proposal that will work as well, without the collateral damage:
The Peaceful Solution-Part 1
How much do you want to stop His Royal Heinous and the fascist takeover of the country?
Enough that you’re willing to make a small sacrifice? Like altering your spending habits for a month or two or three? That could be all it would take to get the attention of the oligarchs (formerly known as The Robber Barons in the first Gilded Age, also The Fat Cats, The Greedy Bastards).
A brief demonstration of We, the People’s, power of the purse could persuade them to quit supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
We quit spending, except on essentials, businesses lose money, stock market goes down, Greedy Bastards pay attention to our demands.
Greedy Bastards own most of the politicians of both major parties. GBs start losing money, tell politicians to change course and do what We, the People want.
Stop participating. Nearly 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending. All of us. Hobble the economy and the stock market. Mahatma Gandhi drove the British from India by peaceful civil disobedience and economic disruption. We can stop the fascist takeover in the same way.
We can keep rehashing past and present atrocities until our access to the internet is taken away by the regime, or we can DO something!
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending except on essentials. Stop the fascist takeover.

The Don Jr. wedding story is more confirmation that Trump is a stooge for Putin. Treason is the number one cause for impeachment and removal, so not only add this to the Articles, but increase the urgency for an early vote.
We the people are becoming more united in the fight for Democracy. The fight to restore the MORAL COMPASS & SPINE in our nation & especially in government.
VOTE!!!!
Please make sure you are registered. Use a reliable site. There are sites controlled directly by djt minions. This is getting uglier by the hour.
After you confirm your registration status, this can be a great topic of conversation to encourage EVERYONE YOU KNOW to also check their status. And unless you know some Kool Ade drinkers, please encourage everyone to VOTE.
VOTE BLUE.
We are in a fight for the survival -- actually for the resurrection -- of our nation.
Trumps: 'Sometimes a wedding gift is just a wedding gift."
ProPublica: "Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses, according to records reviewed by ProPublica and interviews with three people familiar with the event. The oligarch paid to rent out one of the private islands, where a reception was held and where guests slept. He also covered other big-ticket items, like the fireworks show, and his team helped plan the event. Kremlev is the head of the International Boxing Association, a scandal-plagued sports group that has been financed by the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom. The wedding payments came from an IBA-affiliated entity in Dubai that the boxing association uses for financial transactions."
By the way, since Trump made a very PUBLIC STATEMENT, "I want you to cheat at the forthcoming election or we can't win" Can't that be used in evidence at any Supreme Court hearing about mail in ballots, having ICE agents at polling places, having the Post Master hold back ballots, culling the votiing lists, gerrymandering districts, Isn't the latest message that he made to the world: "I WANT YOU TO CHEAT in the November election to make sure I do not get impeached. " "and I am offering you all a bribe if you vote to keep the GOP in power."
Can't those words be used to both convict him later and as evidence that he is the one who will cheat to win and therefore all courts should not do what he is asking for? Seems like a no brainer. Courts have used his public words as a method to claim Don the Con knows exactly what he plans to do. Grab a woman by the genitals; Cheat in elections, Accept $400 milion bribes, etc etc. He is openly a CROOK. can't even say what Nixon said "I AM NOT A CROOK"
Trump says, I AM A CROCK and a CROOK but screw you, I control the house and senate and they will not investigate bubkis.
Yes. Trump also made an illegal statement that he would pay people to vote Republican. No one is going to forget these statements. We just need to vote, arrest, or drag his clown congress out so we can go after him.
I don't believe the F15 pilot story, and I sure as hell don't believe anything put out by this government. In the Iraq War Jessica Lynch was made out to be a mini Rambo - shooting at the enemy until her ammo ran out. She was stabbed and shot! Nope. As she testified to Congress the truck she was in crashed, she was severely injured and unconscious. Then there's Pat Tillman who was killed by his own troops in Afghanistan in a friendly fire incident but the military covered it up. It was his family that fought for this truth. They think we're all stupid and mindless sheep. Unfortunately some of us are.
Yes please! Pete would be amazing (but would need to be voted in by a majority of Democrats, after they retake the House). As a civilian, he’d never be beholden to special interest groups, nor have to start his reelection campaign 6 months in. And he’d be second in line to the presidency! Wooo 🥳
Now we have DUM (no B) Don senior and DUM (no B) junior.
Glad Bettina told the truth. Putin is in bed with senior and via UMAR in bed with Bettina and don junior. Love that she told the truth. Why can't a countrry give a $400 million bribe in public to our Honest Abe Trump. Hey if you can't accept a bribe what kind of prez are you? If you announce it then it isn't a bribe - it's a GIFT.
Remember Eric, the smart one, told the world when asked "since American banks won't do any business with your family, how do you finance all your investments? Eric" "we get all the money we want from our friends in RUSSIA. All the Olie Garks love us. We give them a percent of the deal and they give us all we want."
At this point we're on the Titanic, and I'm rooting for the iceberg. The Saudis deserve all of this. Most of the 911 highjackers were from Saudi Arabia. MBS ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He owns Kushner who apparently drops his pants for anyone who pays him - 2 billion dollars last count. And in fitting justice MBS apparently asked Trump for help against the Houthis and Trump went "nah".
All of those Middle Eastern really rich countries that failed to secure their own military and depended on the US are now cowering in the shadows. I'm with you.
I just can’t believe that they think the American people are stupid enough to believe what comes out of their mouths. Our country is being destroyed by these idiots, who are listening to the lying imbecile who in my opinion is the absolute worst president in history.
Thank you Ben and MeidasTouch for your integrity and honesty. You are appreciated! 💙💙💙
If one hadn't been reading the news lately, each of these news items would seem like a bad work of fiction that could never be true.
Sadly very true.
Remember when President Obama wearing a tan suit was the big scandal in DC?????
And Michelle’s bare arms! Eeek 😧
And the sickening part, is no one is paying attention
I can understand checking out. You read the bizarre list of news, day after day, and don't know what to focus on. It's actually a proven tactic used by dictators: they flood their population with this type of chaotic nonsensical news until everyone checks out, allowing the dictator to do whatever he wants.
The goal is
To Not check out, to become more intense, more informed on actual honest truth. It all depends what news outlet your referring to.
We can not, will jot allow this fat pig,pedophile and his minion's that are spineless to take away our freedoms.
We must stay focused, and Win this internal war with a madman
People are paying attention, and when you do it on a pretty much daily basis, it is much easier to follow. That's what brings me here. You'd better believe folks are following gas prices, though. If they can do that.......
And
Where is dreadful mitch McConnell???
They refuse to announce he's dead for 3 months now
Glad he's burning in hell
Mulch is supposedly returning to work this week. I cannot wait to see how they spin this one (one theory I heard is he will be working from home "remotely."
But people also aren't being made aware of most of the horrendous stuff this regime is doing because the MSM is not reporting on it.
Trump is the real traitor to the US.
YUP‼️👎😱😳
Along with his family, and cabinet!

One of the reasons why the pedo didn't show up at the wedding. Another reason why...
Bettina Anderson, Don Jr's new wife is the daughter of...Jeff Epsteins former banker.
But if there aren’t enough senators to vote to convict(2/3) it’s just a waste of time
I agree. Definitely confirmation.
Be The Resistance!!
Do what you can.
Speak up and speak out.
Keep your courage.
We the people shall prevail.
There is no other option.
We the people are becoming more united in the fight for Democracy. The fight to restore the MORAL COMPASS & SPINE in our nation & especially in government.

I read that the other pilot refused to go on 60 minutes and be interviewed. Makes you wonder what kind of B.S. story they wanted him to tell.
I read that also. At least one of them had integrity.
