You fucking assoles all say the same thing. You would not step on an ant on the sidewalk because they are all part of God;s universe. What a bunch of bullshit... It is your fucking sense of "fairness" and taking the high ground that elected a monster like Trump.. Maybe is you were not so fucking "fine" with everything, that dipshit would have lost...but no you keyboard revoutionaries are just so prim and proper. You probably say "thank you" when you take a shit. You mistake passion for hate,,,,, That is one of your problems, Th,e Democrats are absolutely no where based on doing the "right thing"

For 10 years we've tried persuasion and education to counter the right wing maga propaganda machine and the cult hatefully mocks us in response. I, for one, am completely fed up with the imbecilic mindlessness that is enabling our fall into fascism. President HatRed taught them hate and built the mob with easily disprovable lies, yet there they are, like the Night of the Living BrainDeads. I'll save my nice for the anti-cultists.

Surprised he isn't rolling out that oh so fresh argument that the dems are the party of slavery. Like they were shortly after we evolved from neanderthals I believe it was.

The Democrats ineptitude and uselessness that dominates this corporate-owned trainwreck of a party, outside the Progressive Caucus, does not justify the stupidity of supporting the cult of a fascist, narcisstic madman like dimdondrumpf. That argument only works on the badly and madly misinformed lost souls with a political acumen equal to or greater than drumpf's net negative ratings score. Not here, pal!

WE are a lot worse off 100 days into the second Trump administration.

Meanwhile, we need to ask all Congressional Republicans whether they enlisted in the axis of evil. Reviewing the polls, they should have asked whether the public voted to join Russia and dump Canada, Mexico and NATO.

Daniel Solomon's avatar

I know some of them. They're professional Republicans. The big thing they have, which most Democrats don't is patronage. It goes to other, non political organizations so that a chairable donation tosay, the Red Cross or to many churches, is actually a contribution to the Republican Party and their lawyers and other patrons who are hired and employed through their Republican connections. E.G. Virtually all BIG LAW clients are Republican donors. https://www.opensecrets.org/2024-presidential-race/donald-trump/candidate?id=N00023864

They are primarily sensitive to their donors, who in some cases have been screwed by Trump tariffs and Musk and his Muskovites killng off patrolns via a ripple effect. Imagine being a board member of a charity like a university that lost its grant money. Lost dozens if nolt thousands of jobs held by Repubicans. Lost capacity to hustle via the alma mater.

Many of them know that Trump is not a patriot and is probably nutsy koo koo but will take one for the team.

National security, i.e. the incompetency of Hegseth, SIGNAL, makes them irate. They could care less about most other issues that are important to us.

We can take advantage of the situation. .

He never intended to deliver. He just wanted to get back in so that he could use the U.S. to make money and to get revenge - and to stay out of jail. That is why he does not care or know what is going on with his cabinet most of the time and the fact that he turned over our government to "them!" - Them being Miller, Bessent, Musk, Vought, Hegseth, Bondi, Homan, Noem, - Them! They just go running to him when they need his base to rise up and threaten people so they will comply - a typical Mike Johnson ploy!

As a certified geezer, I remember learning to despise drumpf back in the 80s (or was it the 70s?) when reports started coming out about how he cheated and ruined NY contractors by withholding pay and then appealing and counter-suing when said contractors took him to court. Then there was the case of petty mister drumpf suing a reporter for defamation of character for calling him a multi-millionaire instead of a billionaire despite the reporter having proof in public records to support his case. The reporter never got to present his case in court because the judge denied drumpf's suit for not meeting the threshhold of defamation. The reporter laid out his facts in his column. In the past 50 years Agent Orange has done nothing to reverse my negative opinion of him.

I’m soon leaving a situation where approximately 78% of my net income goes towards rent alone. I’ve already canceled access to MSNBC (this third major purge) and CNN. I am already a paid subscriber to Jim Acosta. I am moving the end of this week and will not be subscribing to cable television. The money I save will be directed towards paid subscriptions to outlets like yours and many others as Substack has become my first source of news and facts. In short is there a reduced rate under $10 for low income seniors on a fixed income who are very involved in this fight for our lives?
