Everything this depraved gangster, con-man, sexual predator and malignant narcissist does is transactional and for his own unscruplous advantage. He wants the biggest portion of the cake, and then wants to be admired when he slathers it all over his orange, pasty face and drops crumbs onto his pants along with other curious material. He is a truly, deeply despicable individual. Please, America, when will the fever break. It must be soon or it will be to late. In fact, Rachel Maddow just said you are already in the throws of Authoritarianism. Do not let this stand. No Kings in America! Even though we can't see you right now, know that we are with you in this fight. Elbows Up. 🇨🇦

Thank you, Canada.

With respect to liberals like Rachel, whom I really like, we are not. I am a student of military history and very often when one side thinks it is hopeless, it is really the other side that has spent all its resources and is going to lose. Another thing I learned is that those who keep fighting can win. Not all the time, but surrender is surrender. A loss. The felon and his felonious minions want us to surrender. Nope.

The United States is definitely in the throws of fascism when there are people being murdered in concentration camps on military bases in Texas!!!

When people's homes are broken into in the middle of the night and a UNITED STATES MILITARY VETERAN IS ARRESTED AT GUNPOINT FOR BEING BROWN!! They refused to belive he was citizen. The US in the throws of a fascist regime when a priest in a peaceful protest goes on his knees to pray for ICE and they shoot him in the head with pepperspray from the rooftop of a federal building.

I COULD GO ON!!!

UNITED STATES HAS HAD A NAZI REGIME SEIZE POWER!!

Yes, the felon and his minions are committing crimes. ICE is indeed acting like the SS and Stasi, etc. So far. But let's not exaggerate Trump's power.

I call this a wannabe dictatorship led by an elderly man who is mentally ill. He's a sociopath, narcissist and vengeful. He has no empathy. He respects nothing unless it's in his self perceived interest. He is lawless. And he has been enabled to do what he is doing by his sycophants and the Roberts majority.

But he is not winning. There is massive opposition to his actions. He is the laughingstock of world leaders. HIs corruption is obvious. He has control of most of the Executive Branch but he doesn't control all of Congress, nor the Judicial Branch. He has no control over the states, although he is trying. He hasn't won the support of all the people, not even half. And the opposition to him and his actions is deep and intense.

Americans have a democratic culture and mythology. Americans know about the revolution fought against King George. It's baked in--for 250 years. The Germans had no such culture. Theirs was a culture of petty kingdoms, an Emperor and Bismarck. They were decimated by World War I, and they couldn't believe they lost. Their experience with democracy was all of 13 years and it wasn't a good one. The 1930-32 economy was crap. The Germans were easy pickings for Hitler.

I don't believe Americans are such easy pickings for Trump and his people. Maybe 30- 35% are MAGA or MAGA adjacent. So how did Trump win? One, he lied all the time and people of all races believed his lies. Two, white and Hispanic men would not vote for a woman, let alone a black woman. And with all that going for him, he didn't win 50% of the popular vote.

Now his lies are less and less believable. And Hispanics are finding out that Trump meant all of them should be deported, not just criminals. And all of us are finding out that he doesn't give one damn about inflation.

Trump thought we were too "woke." Well, now, Americans are awake, figuring it out, and fighting back.

You're downplaying what is happening. Trump is a sociopath likely a pyschopath but he knows exactly what he is doing. He has no plans to leave office.

Thanks for keeping the spotlight on the shutdown. I’ve called my Congressperson (I live in a Republican gerrymandered district in Florida). I do this to leave respectful comments and questions about why the Republicans are shutting down the government and taking healthcare from Americans while the WH bails out Argentina. It’s important to call and leave messages because these calls are logged. Everyone should do this. I’m also passing on this information to the editor of our newspaper who has been writing scathing editorials lately. For health reasons I can’t go to protests so this is what I do. I again urge everyone to do this.

The Peaceful Solution-Plan B's avatar

From Encyclopedia Britannica

“The Progressive movement was a political and social-reform movement that brought major changes to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, known as the Progressive Era, the movement’s goals involved strengthening the national government and addressing people’s economic, social, and political demands. Progressives saw elements of American society that they wished to reform, especially ending the extreme concentration of wealth among the elite and the enormous economic and political power of big business.”

The political right wing has been working to undo these reforms for over 100 years. It could take many years to restore our democracy, unless the masses awaken quickly and take the peaceful actions of non cooperation, and economic disengagement.

Time To Organize Against Cheeto and His Nazi Allies

The upcoming Oct 18 No Kings protest is a rallying point around which we can consolidate our voices in dissent of what Cheeto and his Nazi party are trying to do to our government

But as important is to develop a long term strategy for our movement As Marc Elias writes in Democracy Docket(https://bit.ly/4n0Qj1J) there needs to be a long range plan that requires organizing around a set of strategies that ensure the takedown of this radical right wing fascist movement that we have come to know as MAGA which by the way has been in the works for at least 2 decades This is not just about 2026 but there and beyond 2028, 2030, 2032 Apathy doesn’t win

As Elias points out we need to organize for the long term around the protection of voting rights, supporting each other with conviction and energy, and being proactive not reactive So much of what is termed journalism is merely a reporting of what has happened in the day While that’s valuable we need to go on the offensive with a plan to attack MAGA Sadly the DNC is woefully behind the power curve and it’s up to all of us to show up WE the People show up and lead the way but that’s how it should always be

I agree with your assessment about Gaza...And I think alot of Americans get it too. This peace agreement isn't about peace, it's about the coin-operated conman , Whitcoff and Kushner building a hotel and another golf resort in The Gaza Riviera! I agree - The conman only ever does anything to enrich himself...and these three real estate crooks are jumping on it...Case in Point - Kushner hasn't been seen or heard from until this week!...and now part of negotiating??????? I too wonder how much this idiot paid the Hamas leaders to end this war and allow the new Gaza Riviera!

If they even think of giving that pedo maggot 260.00 million dollars for committing treason on Jan.6 we all need to attack him surround the poor defunct White House and drag him out he, needs to be hung upside down in the streets with all the rest of his cronies, How about a military coup to save our nation!This maggot has already stolen more money than anyone ever deserves. I think the American people should get together and file a massive lawsuit against the entire GOP for everything they have done against our country! And they all need to be in Jail! Right Away!
