In less than 100 days Trump has taken our country from having the best GDP in the world to being a 3rd world shithole country. What is supposed to be Trump’s Honey Moon period, has turned into a Honey Wagon.

Why is nobody holding him to account?

DOGE says it has saved $160 billion. Those cuts have actually cost taxpayers $135 billion, one analysis says.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/doge-cuts-cost-135-billion-analysis-elon-musk-department-of-government-efficiency/

Maybe he can sue Musk for negligence to recoup the losses.

Daniel, everyone is complying with the people violating every sentence of our Constitution. This is now the bigger problem. After we rid ourselves of these Fascist monsters, we must hunt down those complying and put them on trial. And give appropriate punishments to discourage anyone from ever thinking about doing this ever again!

Some have been former law enforcement that have been removed from duty/fired for numerous different reasons. The one that signed the paperwork on the Venezuelian gay hairdresser that he kidnapped and sent to EL Salvador was a real POS.

Makes sense. Same thug-like, sociopathic behavior. It's been very quiet where they're concerned. I've been waiting for them to be signaled to create some sort of commotion during a big protest so that their dear leader could call for martial law.... but your theory makes much more sense. (Not that my concern won't also materialize at some point..)

Ty Ben. The polls are showing Americas dissent. More and more Congress members and Senators from both sides are showing their dissent. We need to concentrate on the Republican Congress to really get the tides to turn. I don’t think that will be long.🙏 The regime is realizing their house of cards is collapsing. 💙🇺🇸💙

From time to time I have seen interviews with Democrats who say they have had private talks with some of their republican "friends" and they know many are not supportive of trump but are just too cowardly to speak up (and that is really cowardly...rather than take the high road and be willing to give up you job when asked to do something illegal they choose the illegal path). I would like to find out which Republicans may indeed not support trump and call their offices and encourage them to speak out and remind them that we will be donating to whomever runs against them if they continue to support trump. I think one even actually sort of said he disagreed with one of trump's actions (I don't remember who is was or what action, maybe the tariffs) but he did not think it was his place to tell the president what to do...so yet again being a coward 9and yes it is his place to tell the president what to do when the president usurps all power from Congress).

Stop that. How is anyone able to hold the moron to account when the Supreme Court named him king and he controls all branches of the government thanks to the moronic, probably misogynistic racist Americans who stayed home on 5 November 2024?

It’s as bad as Jessica Denson peddling the crap about calling for him to be impeached, for a 3rd time. But the reality is that he’s not.

“The economy likely contracted in the first quarter on the back of a record trade deficit in goods as importers front-ran tariff hikes,” Comerica Bank Chief Economist Bill Adams wrote early Monday. “The labor market probably softened in April, with a lackluster increase in employment and an uptick of the unemployment rate. Job vacancies likely fell in March.”

“The Conference Board will probably report a big decline in consumer confidence in line with other household surveys,” Adams added. “Vehicle sales are anticipated to take a breather in April after March’s jump to the highest sales in four years.”

Could March's auto sales have been a scramble to beat the tariffs?

I'm a big believer in following the shorts. The big money relates to the yin/yang of stock prices.

Autio sales. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TOTALSA

Every federal official has to disclose all trades. A few House members happen to be car dealers. Once upon a time I represented car dealers, who are by law protected from manufactures' sharp practices. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/1222

I don't know this as a fact, but I bet every manufacturer and car dealer has a gripe, if for nothing more than the infomercial Trump did for Tesla. Manufacturers with competitive products know whether it had an effect.

I'd also bet that every manufacturer and car dealer is checking out possible litigation for lost profits.

Everybody, go to Indivisible.org

Big Protests are organized for Thursday, May 1st.

Find your protest and go.

Get your sign ready today and tomorrow so you are ready.

Use my protest sign hack:

Use duct tape and tape a Swiffer to the back of your sign.

That swivel head allows it to lay flat on the back of your sign.

It makes a nice handle to hoist up your sign so cars can see it better.

Thursday is the Day, May 1st.

Find your protest and GO.

In my area the protest is scheduled for rush hour, from 4pm to 6pm.

If you can't get there early, at least show up for when you can get there.

Check for the protest in your area and go.

I can't attend a protest in person but I am sending a donation (in addition to my monthly donation) to Indivisible to somehow help. If we all send a few dollars it sure would mount up! Better to go in persons, but it's great to do the second best thing when that is all you can do!

We appreciate your support so much! As you know we are fighting an up hill battle with little or no help from any corporate media and no help from the entire Republican Party. I do believe that more than half of u s do in fact have our shit together, but because of the Republican Congress we don't have much power to do anything except let them know how we feel and to encourage the Democrats in congress to do a whole lot more about getting into the record each and every time the GOP supports trump instead of the Constitution or what their constituents need. This needs to be done on a name basis and well publicized. When a Republican votes to defund medicaid his/her name needs to be in all the local papers in his/her district and attempts must be made to get local TV to also report on it, and to report on it loudly, clearly and often. The Red states are already whining about no FEMA money which is what they voted for and since the corporate media will not be loud and clear about this, we need to support the Dems that are going into these districts and having town hall meetings without the Republicans but we need so many more outspoken Democrats. I am not sure what else we, the members of the resistance can do to get out shit together and for sure we appreciate you continued support and any ideas!!!! There are plenty of real maga supporters who will in fact attend the nazi parade...that's who they are but hopefully the resistance, which includes a lot of veterans will have bigger parades and rallies on or about the same day. And thank goodness we have MTN to cover them because the corporate media will not except Rachel Maddow.

Keeping the legions of potesters hitting the streets 24/7 is so important. MTN looks like it is becoming the media leader of the Anti-Trump resistance.

In order to win this thing....a massive WW2 style Allied force needs to come together. Divide and conquer is not an option.

All the media podcasters need to pull together and form some kind of alliance.

The courts are buying time. This summer there needs to be millions of people in the steets to show strength and resolve.

If MAGA/Trump/GOP sense weakness....they will hold no quarter. Democracy could be DOA...........

Our Canadian leadership came together pretty fast.....putting differences aside at the moment of crisis. The Malple/Maga leader lost his seat in the election. Dems are slowly waking up.....need to speed that up

It is not just trump but the entire GOP Congress. We have to include them loudly and clearly in the downfall of America. In fact they are even worse than trump because they could have done something to stop him and they choose to support all his policies. They need to be called out collectively and individually for this.

I agree 100%. Trump’s enablers are all guilty of collusion and have to be held accountable. Moscow Mitch McConnell had not one, but two opportunities to impeach and remove Trump from office. The entire GOP, (gang of pussies) are complicit.

Soon enough we'll be facing situations worse than COVID. When we had problems with toilet paper 🧻? That's nothing. This time around we won't have food or products we use in our daily lives on the shelves. This is his version of "making America great again." These project 2025 evil pieces of shit want us begging and sick and weak. So, that we can only rely on them. Then they'll turn around and privatize every government department so that they can profit 📈 from them. Truly, truly evil. They know exactly what they're doing.
