we should allllll be seriously asking ourselves as to 'wtf would we want to be friends with anyone who hates every single moral value we stand for???'
people who say they are still best friends but just avoid talking about politics...are shamefully deluding themselves that they have anything in common, or they are actually in support of the lack of moral values that their 'friend has', it's just that they are not brave enough or honest enough to say it out loud...... either way, YOU ARE THE F**KING MORON IN THE TRUMP EBOLA PARTY!
I love this quote and feel that it is so true. I know many people who have been in my inner circle of life and wonder how such intelligent people can be so incredibly stupid and gullible!
'I love the uneducated'..McTaco set the rules on Day one for Maga.........in reply...Jennifer Welch says it perfectly......MAGA is an Anti-Family ...Pro Pedophilc...Death Cult.....
Maga would drink the Orange Koolaid if Bone Spurs is checkmated somehow.
Makes me wonder if the people who vote actually pay attention to the person or strictly just vote party. After listening to Lindell I don’t see how anyone who wanted a qualified candidate could vote for him.
There are no democrats within 2500 households in the area where I live. This stat was from the local Democratic Party of my county. I don't know any democrats or left leaning independents anymore where I live. They simply have all morphed into magas. It doesn't even matter that some of them are struggling, having had their Medicaid and SNAP benefits denied, as some of them are still blaming Biden and even Obama. smh One neighbor told me the prez would take my social security; but he'd be getting his regular checks because the prez loves magas. smh :(
“Trump on declaring national security emergency for elections: ‘Stranger things have happened’
President Trump on Tuesday left the door open to declaring a national security emergency and federalizing control over the November midterms.”
From The Guardian, January 23, 2026
Democrats are campaigning as if the 2026 election will be fair. That’s a mistake
Austin Sarat
The following are excerpts from this article:
In a 16 January podcast interview, Robert Kagan, a historian and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, explained why this is a mistake.
Because of Donald Trump’s desire and need for complete domination, he cannot tolerate and will not allow a Republican defeat at the polls.
As Robert Kagan put it: “There’s no chance in the world that Donald Trump is going to allow himself to lose in the 2026 elections, because that would be the end of his ability to wield total power. Unless they got up on the rooftop and said: ‘We are going to subvert the 2026 election,’ they could not be more obvious about what their intention is.”
“Last week, during an Oval Office interview with Reuters, Donald Trump touted his accomplishments and suggested that they were so great that “we shouldn’t even have an election” in November. Not surprisingly, that comment made headlines.
But it is at best a distraction from the real threat: the United States will have elections this year, but they will not be free and fair.
Far more important than his musings about calling off the midterms was what the president told the New York Times in another Oval Office interview. As the Times noted, he said that “he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in swing states after his loss in the 2020 election.”
As the Times observed, “Mr. Trump’s expression of regret … was ... a warning sign that he had not given up on the idea that voting machines were dangerous or that they could be seized in an effort to curb fraud.” We should take that warning seriously.
So far, the leaders of the Democratic party have not. They have focused on mobilizing to compete successfully in November, but have done little to ensure the election is not rigged through executive action, intimidation or interference with vote counting.
At the end of the day, the president may be attracted to the idea of rigging the 2026 election not just out of a fear that he will not be able to work his will but because, as scholars suggest, electoral manipulation is a signal to critical audiences (including “bureaucracy, potential defectors within the elite, or powerful stakeholders within civil society”) of his “strength“ and “invincibility”.
Whatever Trump’s motivations, Democrats are making a mistake by underestimating the likelihood that, for all the artful campaigning and the many unpopular things they can pin on Republicans, none of that will matter. They, and all the rest of us, must mobilize to avoid that result.
We have no time to waste.”

What does mobilizing look like? Stop spending? I doubt that will do it. Resist, stop cooperating (with what?). Stop the fascist takeover. How? An article sounding alarm with no helpful guidance.
“It’s the economy, stupid” as James Carville famously told Bill Clinton. It was then, and still is, in politics. The reelection of His Royal Heinous is largely attributed to the misperceived state of the economy. That’s what must be attacked, not individual corporations. The overall economy must suffer before the Greedy Bastards will pay attention.
HRH will not destroy the economy on his own (TACO). He will find a way to prop it up (like lower interest rates) because the economy and stock market are his report card and key to keeping power. The key to keeping power, as it is in Russia, China, Hungary, Turkey. They give the people a somewhat decent standard of living, and in exchange, the people have no political power. Only the autocrat has that. Unlimited.
Our best chance of success lies in obtaining high profile, national leadership and spokespersons. Fragmented, unknown groups leading the charge might work but would take much longer, and time is of the essence. Since the Disney boycott there have been more “bigger” names taking up the cause.
There will have to be a great amount of grassroot support before a national “leader” will take up the cause. Most of our supposed leaders are really followers of movements. They’ll get out front after it’s shown to have popular support. So, we recruit more foot soldiers, like ourselves, and spread the word on various Substacks and other social media platforms.
After mustering much grassroots support we can then approach some Substack writers who have many subscribers and appeal to them to take up the cause and spread the word. Writers like Jen Rubin, Steve Schmidt, Robert Reich, Heather Richardson, Paul Krugman. Again, a good amount of grassroots support will have to be demonstrated.
We will need an organized effort to encourage those writers to concentrate on this method of opposition. Possibly coordinated mass emails to them promoting the idea, or coordinated posts to their Substacks.
Then, hopefully, one or more national leaders will take up the cause. Possibly a steering committee composed of left, center and right individuals, but not current office holders. It should be seen as non partisan.
This will be a tough sell. Americans are addicted to buying. We are brainwashed from the cradle by advertising, popular culture, peer pressure, to consume. If you want to be happy and fulfilled, you must have this or that product. To overcome this, our fellow citizens must be convinced that this is the only viable peaceful solution to stop and reverse the fascist takeover. And it is.
If a single dollar doubles every day for 30 days, it reaches a total of over $536 million ($536,870,912) at the end of the 30th day.
So, would it follow, that a single voice that doubled everyday would become 536 million voices after 30 days? That seems doable.
Defeating the fascists in WWII did not happen without sacrifice from the citizens of the Allied countries. We will have to sacrifice to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of our country. We can sacrifice a little now or a much greater amount later. What kind of world will our children and grandchildren live in if we allow this to continue?

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.
We are running out of peaceful options. The legislature and Supreme Court are controlled by HRH. He controls the executive branch, including the Military, Justice Department, FBI, ICE, the IRS. He controls all levers of power.
We, the people, still have the power of the purse. No one can control our spending, or lack of spending. When all else fails we can go on a spending strike until the business community stops supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
Economic warfare is the only thing the oligarchs, the business community will understand and act on. Call it a Surreptitious General Strike (Quiet Quitting). Go to work, do as little as possible. Stop spending money except on essentials. Quit feeding the corporate beast that supports the HRH.
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. Stop the fascist takeover.
Thank you for restacking, and sharing, to help Spread the Word!
Why a Spending Strike is the Best Option to Stop and Reverse the Fascist Takeover.
TINA: There Is No Alternative. There is no peaceful alternative.
Plan A
Plan A consists of phoning/writing your legislators, and street demonstrations, neither of which have worked nor give any sign of working. His Royal Heinous controls the majority party in the legislature and they are doing his bidding. As for street demonstrations:
From Professor Erica Chenoweth:
…”they often subject their participants to a higher risk of repression or communal violence from opponents. So movements that are capable of having the capacity to shift to methods of dispersion, like stay-at-homes or strikes or forms of economic noncooperation, tend to be much more effective because they have the capability of maneuver when the state begins to ramp up violence against them.”
Targeted boycotts
Why targeted boycotts are ineffective:
Boycotts often fail because they require massive, sustained participation to create meaningful financial pressure, lack clear alternatives for consumers, generate insufficient negative media attention, and are easily weathered by companies waiting for the protest to fade. Additionally, the complex nature of modern capitalism and the proliferation of corporate conglomerates can make it difficult for boycotters to effectively target and impact a company's bottom line or reputation, especially when companies have multiple revenue streams, like real estate, that aren't affected by consumer boycotts.
In 2020, Goya Foods praised President Donald Trump on social media, which caused those in opposition to Trump to boycott their products. Trump loyalists simultaneously initated a counter-boycott, where consumers bought mass quantities of their products, in response. The boycott caused Goya profits to increase dramatically because Trump supporters started an opposing campaign.
The midterm election
Will it be free and fair? It won’t be. Will it occur at all? HRH has already said that if we’re at war there’ll be no election. Guess what? If it’s looking bad for him, he’ll be at war to try to stop the election. The election is important to him because having the majority in the legislature gives the fascist regime the look of legitimacy, and stopping or stealing the election demonstrates his power. This election is going to unleash total chaos.
People are putting too much faith in what the midterms will do. They may have a beneficial psychologic effect but in reality the outcome will have little or no practical effect, unless the Dems can get 2/3 majority in the house and senate, which they won’t. They will not be able to undo anything HRH has done or pass new legislation because of his veto power, nor will they be able to get a conviction on Impeachment. We’ve seen that movie twice before, and know how it ends.
The Courts
While some lower courts have ruled against HRH, slowing his takeover, the rulings have been fast tracked to the Supreme Court. It has almost universally ruled in HRH’s favor. SCOTUS members Roberts and Barrett may have an epiphany and save the country from civil war, but it’s doubtful. It’s going to be up to us to stop this.
Time is running out for a Peaceful Solution. Please Spread the Word!, far, wide, and quickly, before the fascists takedown our means of communication.
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending. Stop the fascist takeover.
Thank you for restacking, and sharing, to help Spread the Word!
sounds like you are parroting the typical useless dems who are too scared to do anything....ever.... people in hungary turned out every night to stand against fascist orban, people in russia are still being killed and imprisoned for continuing to stand up and stand out against communist kgb chief/fascist putin, members of antifascist groups are being falsely condemned with made up evidence and getting jail sentences longer that any billionaire who has stolen tax payer dollars.... the resistance fighters during the 2nd world war continued to fight the nazi's until they won, nelson mandela and the anc refused to surrender to the white afrikaans apartheid regime in south africa until they won the free and democratic elections they fought for (over 40 years)....
look around, join protest groups, think through how you spend your money and how much time you like to spend with either 'meh' people or worse, trumpaholics. if you really put your mind to it, and are committed to doing something and playing your part, you will find the answers...until then you'll just sit back and blame others for not giving you all the answers.......
ASSUME Trump and his minions are going to try and steal/rig/threaten their way to seize and retain power. We have been in the process of a continued coup/insurrection whatever you want to call it since Trump was hooked up into this thing.
Steve Bannon’s War Room
All of it - the billionaires, the tech, (Epstein/Herod), the Rapture people, the Christian Nationalists who just want to boss everyone else (the Pharisees).
These people have no intention of leaving - so make a game plan.
They are actually abusing our military at this point.
Plus it sounds like Iran Contra is up and going again
yeah, the dems are morons as much as trumpaholics are..... the 95% of establishment dems will just clutch their pearls and hold onto their wallets stuffed with wealth accumulation from their ride on the congressional gravy train....and try to keep their heads down.....
they are not going to stick their necks out and march on the streets with 'we the people'... none of them could ever be compared with the likes of navalny or nelson mandela etc...
name 1 single establishment -do -nothing -dem -politician who as called trump a 'putin style dictator'..... or who has labelled his/her rapepugnican 'friends' in congress as a 'a putin style rubber stamp congress'...... or their aipac and billionaire/corporate donors as putin-style-billionaire-oligarchs???????
so many of them are scared shitless of trump 'doing' something that will make their cushy lives uncomfortable.....
there will NOT be a blue tsunami in the midterms and things won't change because the trump rapepugnicans have already planned their whole 'putin style election rigging' and it will come to pass....
so to all the 'moderate democratic morons - we see you, we see your weak and feckless attitudes, and you are definitely not the saviour of democracy that we need....and moderate voters are complicit.....
who will get our taxpayer $ back from corrupt trump/corrupt trump family/corrupt trump regime/corrupt criminals who have taken advantage of corrupt trump regime? the dems will do nothing or slow walk charges around in circles..... WE NEED AN ARMY OF CLASS ACTION LAWYERS AND PERSONAL INJURY LAYERS TO GET ALL OUR MONEY BACK SO THAT IT CAN BE USED FOR 'WE THE PEOPLE'....AND THAT INCLUDES MONEY GIVEN TO THE FASCIST NEO NAZI NYETANYAHOO GANG OF WAR CRIMINALS IN ISRAEL......
I AM SOOOOOO FCUKING MAD AT THE TOTALLY USELESS POLITICIANS....YOU GUYS DO ALL THE RESEARCH FOR THEM AND THEY SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING WITH ALL THE INFO YOU PROVIDE THEM WITH.....
What is taking place on the USS Abraham Lincoln is deplorable. It kind of takes you back to Operation Desert Storm when the Iraqi soldiers were starving and they surrendered to American forces. This is Trump's military. This is Trump's America. This is the Trump regime.
Mutiny would be nice but I don't see that happening. They will end up in the brig and get a dishonorable discharge. They want to hang on to their pay and benefits.
Well, the American troops seem to be on the verge of jumping ship, because the conditions are too deplorable to sustain life, which would be under normal conditions, considered mutiny.
At what point is it reasonable or even essential to jump ship in order to safe your own life?
I disagree. I think all MAGAs are responsible. They voted for the felon, they supported and continue to support the felon...they are responsible. If their child is on that ship, they are the ones who are doing it to their own child. That "I didn't vote for this" is bullshit. They knew what they were doing and they voted for him for selfish reasons: hatred of persons of color; the need to have more money; they criminal need to be richer, more powerful, and to be able to harm anyone they want. That's what they voted for ... and so much more, imo.
Great comparison. My brother served in Desert Storm and told us how heartbreaking it was to see the Iraqis starving and desperate when they surrendered. I never imagined that so many Americans would elect the kind of people who are the 'bad guys' and call it patriotism.
Every American, regardless of political affiliation or ideology, must be up in arms and loud about the mistreatment of our military personnel.
Thank you, Nicole. It just made me think of Desert Storm. When you are starving you take drastic measures to survive. It is heartbreaking to see American military members treated so "Third World."
It is, and it's beneath all of us. It's also a good reminder that the GOP loves to lay claim-sole claim-sole on patriotism; the irony is that it's the rest of us who are defending the Constitution and our military personnel, as well as one another. I wish the cult could get out from behind their brainwashing and actually SEE what despicable things are being done in their names and ours. But we'll keep fighting, because it's the right thing to do, because somehow we still love our country and the people who serve her, and each other.
I have to believe military recruiters are having problems meeting their quotas, with everything Hegseth has done to the military. And it's only going to get worse.
This is just awful the way our navy is being treated. Is Hegseth too busy ordering his pounds of steak & lobster to take care of this? Oh yeah, he’s just a tough guy w/make up while he’s on TV, but he couldn’t handle being on the USS Lincoln for 200 days. Give these people a break! My God!
Yes, he is, along with the Dictator Deranged Psycho Selfish Moron Mental Case who sits in the Oval Office and his wealthy republiCRAP friends. No doubt most of them would (or wouldn't/never did) enlist in the service. They expect others to give their lives so they can live in their filthy-rich lifestyle.
It's a different military now. Even in Trump's first term there were radical MAGAts serving in the military. I personally knew 3 officers who are MAGATs. They were rising up then.
I was a ridiculously young Navy wife in San Diego in the early 70s. I cringe thinking that this could have been happening to the personnel I knew back then. Macho and full of themselves, but they wouldn't have backed anyone like t-Dump.
I agree. I grew up in San Diego. I know what you mean. My uncle retired from the Navy and stayed in San Diego after retirement. So I've been around the Navy my whole life and even worked as a civilian at 3 naval bases. I resigned in 2006 but still kept in contact with civilians and active duty. It was different back then too. It all changed in the last 10 years. I could go on and on. Maybe I'll just write a book. 😉
I hope Vance remembered to say “thank you” to Zelenskyy after begging him to stop taking out oil tankers. I also hope Ukraine got some interceptors in exchange.
1. The horrible conditions for the men and women on the USS Abraham Lincoln. Hegseth and Trump treat our military members as expendable.
2. Trump's Administration (read Project 2025 goons) removing checks on money laundering. Here is the relevant section:
"The Treasury Department and FinCEN announced a final rule permanently killing the requirement for U.S. companies and individuals to report beneficial ownership information, and FinCEN also announced it will delete the beneficial ownership information it’s already collected. Former congressman Tom Malinowski (who helped pass this law in 2020) said the entire purpose of the law was to stop drug traffickers, Russian and Chinese kleptocrats, and other international criminals hiding money behind anonymous shell companies in the U.S. Beneficial ownership information is just a record of who actually owns a company, and it existed to stop Delaware LLCs from laundering millions to offshore accounts on behalf of untraceable people or entities. Malinowski also said the move is likely totally illegal, as they are making their own rules to avoid a law passed by Congress. I cannot think of another reason of why you would do this unless you want to actively aid and abet organized crime syndicates."
Absolutely… it now appears that trump’s treasury has suddenly made the USA the world’s new safe haven for criminals, including the current POTUS and his entire mob family.
Afraid to wake up tomorrow, for another day of absolute criminal corruption, lies, deception, a War that's not reporting on the truth, the young men and women devoted to the Navy, who on the
Abraham Lincoln want to commit suicide now
No food, sickening water, no help in sight, all the while, hogbreath turns on them, trying to cut of communication with their families. While he is always drunk.
Now we have to rely on their families to report what is actually happening to that fleet
Just like when Don Jr asked his dad to get his girlfriend out of the country so he could marry his new squeeze, I’m thinking that Hegseth asked Don to give his wife a job. “ she follows me everywhere, sir, and I can’t get a drink“
Hegseth has literally destroyed our military. He fired our best and brightest leaders for purely racial, gender and political reasons. He ran through our munitions without even considering supplies. He failed logistical common sense.
A sex abuser, alcoholic yes man in charge of our armed forces is like putting a convict in the White House.
This is why a QUALIFIED choice who was both EXPERIENCED and COMPETENT should have been *FORCED* by Congress through "advice and consent," but since 1/3 of us didn't bother to vote and 1/3 of us are exceptionally stupid and semiliterate, apparently (watch "The Good Liars" or others who engage with Republicans...or just listen to some (R) Congressmorons as they worship TrumPedo...), "we" "elected" the cult's criminal pedo leader despite his failed coup, then all his loyal cult lackeys saw a chance for brief power and firmly affixed their lips to his ass "no matter what."
I have often suggested that only those who can vote for a legislator can donate to him. No special interest groups or corporations. PAC’s can only advertise or educate, but not donate. And no anonymity, I think voters should know who is backing their legislators.
An additional idea is that people who are born here cannot vote until they pass the same test given to those who are naturalized. Free classes for those who need them.
I would like to see ALL money out of politics. There is SO much disinformation on social media and clip channels that advertising is no longer necessary: all we really need is an impartial website where candidates can submit their voting record (if legislators) or their priorities (if first-time candidates), so that the American voters can simply see WHAT they've prioritized (and hopefully a clear plan of how they'll implement it) and how they voted to help either America or their donor/owners. Seeing commercials for someone like Baumgartner (who responded to each of my requests with a form letter and a vote the OPPOSITE way: FOR billionaires, AGAINST healthcare, FOR DOGe stealing our data he had no legal right to, FOR DOGe firing protected federal workers illegally, FOR continuing the Trump-Epstein files coverup... WHO IS HE "representing"?!?!?!)
We don't "need" money in politics: the parties will still exist, and many are engaged enough to volunteer for a candidate they feel would work for America. We just need a site to view their platform, then decide who best represents our goals for America's future.
Actually it was all the magas that ruined our military. Every single one of them that voted for him this time are responsible. It's not just the people making the decisions, it's the people who support those 'leaders', that are killing and harming our soldier.
Hung Cao and Pete Hegseth both served in the military; the actions of both of them in support of the deployed forces are just criminal negligence and they both need to be held to account after the Trump administration leaves office. Corporal Bonespurs needs to apologize to the deployed forces for his actions while they spent more months at sea than they were told to expect AND forfeit all the money he has acquired while in office — the Iranians have pegged him perfectly — and the question is whether he dies in office or gets to spend significant time behind bars for his inhumanity.
Now in the 90 day “quiet period”, the Republican Party’s challenge to the National Voter Registration Act, while not quiet, is losing bad. Of the 30 states that Trump sued for voter rolls Trump has lost 21 and won 0. Even calls for a national security emergency would never pass muster. His ploy against mail in voting has been rebuked by Judge Talwani: “The court finds that enfranchisement heavily outweighs the executive’s attempt to unconstitutionally insert itself into the domain of election regulation.”
Which brings up Trump’s favorite tactic, lies and smears, fear and intimidation through repetition and coordination, with no quiet period, ever. It is just as valid to counter this method as it is any legal challenge.
Trump’s most feared word is loser. He is a 2020 loser and come November he will be an even bigger loser. The memos just released by the WhiteHouse show that the Mueller counterintelligence investigation was short circuited. When Russia released the Clinton emails, at Trump’s request, Russia was listening and responded, without Russia’s help, loser. Call him a Fascist, which he is, but loser, never, call him an autocrat, which he is, but to be called feeble, in mind and body, loser. Accuse him of graft and corruption, but the Iranian War, loser.
All of these very pertinent issues have depth in signifying the complexity of our situation and with the added worth of know your enemy acumen, the ability to be right on target.
Ha ha, go cry in your crappy pillows Mike. Love seeing the "generational" shifts taking place. If they refuse to put forth term limits bills, then this is what they get.
Noticing how the recalls on food have increased, I’m frustrated and angered that this administration cut out most of the infrastructure for overseeing the quality of our food. I’m sure the Prez and his administration can afford high end food sources free from contamination. The country, however, has to check the news daily to see what items on their grocery list are contaminated that day. Thanks Prez. 😬😡🤬
Trump is soooo corrupt! He just wants to give a break to the insurance companies so they don’t have to pay for the vaccines. Sickening!!! Instead of this garbage he should be funding real research into childhood autism. Oh yea, he defunded all the medical researchers.😖😭
Remember that the felon's job is to destroy our democratic republic, and that means destroying everything we've built. A few dead people from bad food only helps the regime. smdh
"Who was secretly with Trump on that catering truck in Turkey?" I just assumed it was that aspiring Mrs. tRump No. 4 who hangs out with him all the time and strokes his--ego...only this time she was loaded up with a buncha iMacs cuz she and tRump thought they were a new burger at McDonalds. But what do I know!
We all know that Trump is pretty much an idiot who is in politics for the money he can steal as well as the power to soothe his always-needy ego. But he has managed, with the help of the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society, to bring the richest, most powerful country in the history of the world almost to its knees. The in-your-face corruption and lunatic foreign policy could only be accomplished through the thorough participation of every single appointee and every hire since he took the throne! The complete lack of courage, integrity, and honor among the members of the GOP helped too, of course. If this country survives as a thriving democracy, it will be only because we completely overhaul the government from top to bottom, and with all the money since Citizens United involved, that is not likely!
The Superpower of We The People is Voting. It works; Pillow Boy lost. He won't admit it but he is a loser on so many levels, due mostly to his slavish devotion to t-Dump. Another example of people t-Dump destroys and moves on without them.
Hey, Mike Lindell. Didn't you hear? You lost, bitch. Now shut up and go cry in your pillow. We don't want to hear it.
The sad fact is Mike Pillow's percentages were higher than the teens.......still work to be done to crush Maga
Incredible. Seems there are a lot of hardcore MAGAts out there still. I guess they haven't been punished enough. 🤷🏻♀️
"It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled." *
One of the main hallmarks of a CULT.
I know that with every new reveal of their cult leader's corruption, my own (now estranged) relatives just dig in a little deeper.
(*Sometimes attributed to Mark Twain, but the subject of much debate online).
I have estranged MAGAt family members too, not many but I do have some. I'll never speak to them for as long as I live. Not joking either.
I understand 100%.
we should allllll be seriously asking ourselves as to 'wtf would we want to be friends with anyone who hates every single moral value we stand for???'
people who say they are still best friends but just avoid talking about politics...are shamefully deluding themselves that they have anything in common, or they are actually in support of the lack of moral values that their 'friend has', it's just that they are not brave enough or honest enough to say it out loud...... either way, YOU ARE THE F**KING MORON IN THE TRUMP EBOLA PARTY!
I don’t blame you.
I love this quote and feel that it is so true. I know many people who have been in my inner circle of life and wonder how such intelligent people can be so incredibly stupid and gullible!
'I love the uneducated'..McTaco set the rules on Day one for Maga.........in reply...Jennifer Welch says it perfectly......MAGA is an Anti-Family ...Pro Pedophilc...Death Cult.....
Maga would drink the Orange Koolaid if Bone Spurs is checkmated somehow.
Makes me wonder if the people who vote actually pay attention to the person or strictly just vote party. After listening to Lindell I don’t see how anyone who wanted a qualified candidate could vote for him.
They vote strictly by party. I know a few of them. Still boggles my mind they choose party over quality.
There are no democrats within 2500 households in the area where I live. This stat was from the local Democratic Party of my county. I don't know any democrats or left leaning independents anymore where I live. They simply have all morphed into magas. It doesn't even matter that some of them are struggling, having had their Medicaid and SNAP benefits denied, as some of them are still blaming Biden and even Obama. smh One neighbor told me the prez would take my social security; but he'd be getting his regular checks because the prez loves magas. smh :(
Will Trump Seize the Election?
From The Hill, August 11, 2026
“Trump on declaring national security emergency for elections: ‘Stranger things have happened’
President Trump on Tuesday left the door open to declaring a national security emergency and federalizing control over the November midterms.”
From The Guardian, January 23, 2026
Democrats are campaigning as if the 2026 election will be fair. That’s a mistake
Austin Sarat
The following are excerpts from this article:
In a 16 January podcast interview, Robert Kagan, a historian and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, explained why this is a mistake.
Because of Donald Trump’s desire and need for complete domination, he cannot tolerate and will not allow a Republican defeat at the polls.
As Robert Kagan put it: “There’s no chance in the world that Donald Trump is going to allow himself to lose in the 2026 elections, because that would be the end of his ability to wield total power. Unless they got up on the rooftop and said: ‘We are going to subvert the 2026 election,’ they could not be more obvious about what their intention is.”
“Last week, during an Oval Office interview with Reuters, Donald Trump touted his accomplishments and suggested that they were so great that “we shouldn’t even have an election” in November. Not surprisingly, that comment made headlines.
But it is at best a distraction from the real threat: the United States will have elections this year, but they will not be free and fair.
Far more important than his musings about calling off the midterms was what the president told the New York Times in another Oval Office interview. As the Times noted, he said that “he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in swing states after his loss in the 2020 election.”
As the Times observed, “Mr. Trump’s expression of regret … was ... a warning sign that he had not given up on the idea that voting machines were dangerous or that they could be seized in an effort to curb fraud.” We should take that warning seriously.
So far, the leaders of the Democratic party have not. They have focused on mobilizing to compete successfully in November, but have done little to ensure the election is not rigged through executive action, intimidation or interference with vote counting.
At the end of the day, the president may be attracted to the idea of rigging the 2026 election not just out of a fear that he will not be able to work his will but because, as scholars suggest, electoral manipulation is a signal to critical audiences (including “bureaucracy, potential defectors within the elite, or powerful stakeholders within civil society”) of his “strength“ and “invincibility”.
Whatever Trump’s motivations, Democrats are making a mistake by underestimating the likelihood that, for all the artful campaigning and the many unpopular things they can pin on Republicans, none of that will matter. They, and all the rest of us, must mobilize to avoid that result.

What does mobilizing look like? Stop spending? I doubt that will do it. Resist, stop cooperating (with what?). Stop the fascist takeover. How? An article sounding alarm with no helpful guidance.
The Peaceful Solution-Part 3
How to accomplish a Spending Strike
“It’s the economy, stupid” as James Carville famously told Bill Clinton. It was then, and still is, in politics. The reelection of His Royal Heinous is largely attributed to the misperceived state of the economy. That’s what must be attacked, not individual corporations. The overall economy must suffer before the Greedy Bastards will pay attention.
HRH will not destroy the economy on his own (TACO). He will find a way to prop it up (like lower interest rates) because the economy and stock market are his report card and key to keeping power. The key to keeping power, as it is in Russia, China, Hungary, Turkey. They give the people a somewhat decent standard of living, and in exchange, the people have no political power. Only the autocrat has that. Unlimited.
Our best chance of success lies in obtaining high profile, national leadership and spokespersons. Fragmented, unknown groups leading the charge might work but would take much longer, and time is of the essence. Since the Disney boycott there have been more “bigger” names taking up the cause.
There will have to be a great amount of grassroot support before a national “leader” will take up the cause. Most of our supposed leaders are really followers of movements. They’ll get out front after it’s shown to have popular support. So, we recruit more foot soldiers, like ourselves, and spread the word on various Substacks and other social media platforms.
After mustering much grassroots support we can then approach some Substack writers who have many subscribers and appeal to them to take up the cause and spread the word. Writers like Jen Rubin, Steve Schmidt, Robert Reich, Heather Richardson, Paul Krugman. Again, a good amount of grassroots support will have to be demonstrated.
We will need an organized effort to encourage those writers to concentrate on this method of opposition. Possibly coordinated mass emails to them promoting the idea, or coordinated posts to their Substacks.
Then, hopefully, one or more national leaders will take up the cause. Possibly a steering committee composed of left, center and right individuals, but not current office holders. It should be seen as non partisan.
This will be a tough sell. Americans are addicted to buying. We are brainwashed from the cradle by advertising, popular culture, peer pressure, to consume. If you want to be happy and fulfilled, you must have this or that product. To overcome this, our fellow citizens must be convinced that this is the only viable peaceful solution to stop and reverse the fascist takeover. And it is.
If a single dollar doubles every day for 30 days, it reaches a total of over $536 million ($536,870,912) at the end of the 30th day.
So, would it follow, that a single voice that doubled everyday would become 536 million voices after 30 days? That seems doable.
Defeating the fascists in WWII did not happen without sacrifice from the citizens of the Allied countries. We will have to sacrifice to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of our country. We can sacrifice a little now or a much greater amount later. What kind of world will our children and grandchildren live in if we allow this to continue?

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.
We are running out of peaceful options. The legislature and Supreme Court are controlled by HRH. He controls the executive branch, including the Military, Justice Department, FBI, ICE, the IRS. He controls all levers of power.
We, the people, still have the power of the purse. No one can control our spending, or lack of spending. When all else fails we can go on a spending strike until the business community stops supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
Economic warfare is the only thing the oligarchs, the business community will understand and act on. Call it a Surreptitious General Strike (Quiet Quitting). Go to work, do as little as possible. Stop spending money except on essentials. Quit feeding the corporate beast that supports the HRH.
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. Stop the fascist takeover.

The White Trash House
The Peaceful Solution-Part 2
Why a Spending Strike is the Best Option to Stop and Reverse the Fascist Takeover.
TINA: There Is No Alternative. There is no peaceful alternative.
Plan A
Plan A consists of phoning/writing your legislators, and street demonstrations, neither of which have worked nor give any sign of working. His Royal Heinous controls the majority party in the legislature and they are doing his bidding. As for street demonstrations:
From Professor Erica Chenoweth:
…”they often subject their participants to a higher risk of repression or communal violence from opponents. So movements that are capable of having the capacity to shift to methods of dispersion, like stay-at-homes or strikes or forms of economic noncooperation, tend to be much more effective because they have the capability of maneuver when the state begins to ramp up violence against them.”
Targeted boycotts
Why targeted boycotts are ineffective:
Boycotts often fail because they require massive, sustained participation to create meaningful financial pressure, lack clear alternatives for consumers, generate insufficient negative media attention, and are easily weathered by companies waiting for the protest to fade. Additionally, the complex nature of modern capitalism and the proliferation of corporate conglomerates can make it difficult for boycotters to effectively target and impact a company's bottom line or reputation, especially when companies have multiple revenue streams, like real estate, that aren't affected by consumer boycotts.
In 2020, Goya Foods praised President Donald Trump on social media, which caused those in opposition to Trump to boycott their products. Trump loyalists simultaneously initated a counter-boycott, where consumers bought mass quantities of their products, in response. The boycott caused Goya profits to increase dramatically because Trump supporters started an opposing campaign.
The midterm election
Will it be free and fair? It won’t be. Will it occur at all? HRH has already said that if we’re at war there’ll be no election. Guess what? If it’s looking bad for him, he’ll be at war to try to stop the election. The election is important to him because having the majority in the legislature gives the fascist regime the look of legitimacy, and stopping or stealing the election demonstrates his power. This election is going to unleash total chaos.
People are putting too much faith in what the midterms will do. They may have a beneficial psychologic effect but in reality the outcome will have little or no practical effect, unless the Dems can get 2/3 majority in the house and senate, which they won’t. They will not be able to undo anything HRH has done or pass new legislation because of his veto power, nor will they be able to get a conviction on Impeachment. We’ve seen that movie twice before, and know how it ends.
The Courts
While some lower courts have ruled against HRH, slowing his takeover, the rulings have been fast tracked to the Supreme Court. It has almost universally ruled in HRH’s favor. SCOTUS members Roberts and Barrett may have an epiphany and save the country from civil war, but it’s doubtful. It’s going to be up to us to stop this.
Time is running out for a Peaceful Solution. Please Spread the Word!, far, wide, and quickly, before the fascists takedown our means of communication.
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending. Stop the fascist takeover.
Thank you for restacking, and sharing, to help Spread the Word!
bravo/brava
sounds like you are parroting the typical useless dems who are too scared to do anything....ever.... people in hungary turned out every night to stand against fascist orban, people in russia are still being killed and imprisoned for continuing to stand up and stand out against communist kgb chief/fascist putin, members of antifascist groups are being falsely condemned with made up evidence and getting jail sentences longer that any billionaire who has stolen tax payer dollars.... the resistance fighters during the 2nd world war continued to fight the nazi's until they won, nelson mandela and the anc refused to surrender to the white afrikaans apartheid regime in south africa until they won the free and democratic elections they fought for (over 40 years)....
look around, join protest groups, think through how you spend your money and how much time you like to spend with either 'meh' people or worse, trumpaholics. if you really put your mind to it, and are committed to doing something and playing your part, you will find the answers...until then you'll just sit back and blame others for not giving you all the answers.......
ASSUME Trump and his minions are going to try and steal/rig/threaten their way to seize and retain power. We have been in the process of a continued coup/insurrection whatever you want to call it since Trump was hooked up into this thing.
Steve Bannon’s War Room
All of it - the billionaires, the tech, (Epstein/Herod), the Rapture people, the Christian Nationalists who just want to boss everyone else (the Pharisees).
These people have no intention of leaving - so make a game plan.
They are actually abusing our military at this point.
Plus it sounds like Iran Contra is up and going again
yeah, the dems are morons as much as trumpaholics are..... the 95% of establishment dems will just clutch their pearls and hold onto their wallets stuffed with wealth accumulation from their ride on the congressional gravy train....and try to keep their heads down.....
they are not going to stick their necks out and march on the streets with 'we the people'... none of them could ever be compared with the likes of navalny or nelson mandela etc...
name 1 single establishment -do -nothing -dem -politician who as called trump a 'putin style dictator'..... or who has labelled his/her rapepugnican 'friends' in congress as a 'a putin style rubber stamp congress'...... or their aipac and billionaire/corporate donors as putin-style-billionaire-oligarchs???????
so many of them are scared shitless of trump 'doing' something that will make their cushy lives uncomfortable.....
there will NOT be a blue tsunami in the midterms and things won't change because the trump rapepugnicans have already planned their whole 'putin style election rigging' and it will come to pass....
so to all the 'moderate democratic morons - we see you, we see your weak and feckless attitudes, and you are definitely not the saviour of democracy that we need....and moderate voters are complicit.....
who will get our taxpayer $ back from corrupt trump/corrupt trump family/corrupt trump regime/corrupt criminals who have taken advantage of corrupt trump regime? the dems will do nothing or slow walk charges around in circles..... WE NEED AN ARMY OF CLASS ACTION LAWYERS AND PERSONAL INJURY LAYERS TO GET ALL OUR MONEY BACK SO THAT IT CAN BE USED FOR 'WE THE PEOPLE'....AND THAT INCLUDES MONEY GIVEN TO THE FASCIST NEO NAZI NYETANYAHOO GANG OF WAR CRIMINALS IN ISRAEL......
I AM SOOOOOO FCUKING MAD AT THE TOTALLY USELESS POLITICIANS....YOU GUYS DO ALL THE RESEARCH FOR THEM AND THEY SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING WITH ALL THE INFO YOU PROVIDE THEM WITH.....

"Tears on My Pillow"
Little Anthony & the Imperials
LOL!! That's a good song too! A pity it is being referenced to that piece of shit. 😆
Thank you. It's great.
Looks like he can (and should be) charged with a crime for handing out pillows to "bribe" voters during his campaign.
Charged with assault with a deadly weapon?
That works 😆
Doesn't speak well for his pillows.
I didn't know that. Yes, he should be charged. I know he was bragging that he was endorsed by Trump. 🤣 He thought it would seal the deal 🤣
"Find me 12,500 votes! That's all I need!"
I'm expecting that. 🙄
What is taking place on the USS Abraham Lincoln is deplorable. It kind of takes you back to Operation Desert Storm when the Iraqi soldiers were starving and they surrendered to American forces. This is Trump's military. This is Trump's America. This is the Trump regime.
Hegseth is the treasonous bastard that's caused all this harm. I seriously wish the military would turn on him.
Mutiny would be nice but I don't see that happening. They will end up in the brig and get a dishonorable discharge. They want to hang on to their pay and benefits.
Fragging was a thing in Vietnam. A superior would be shot and it wasn't from the Vietcong. Just saying.
That's true, Rita.
Well, the American troops seem to be on the verge of jumping ship, because the conditions are too deplorable to sustain life, which would be under normal conditions, considered mutiny.
At what point is it reasonable or even essential to jump ship in order to safe your own life?
I disagree. I think all MAGAs are responsible. They voted for the felon, they supported and continue to support the felon...they are responsible. If their child is on that ship, they are the ones who are doing it to their own child. That "I didn't vote for this" is bullshit. They knew what they were doing and they voted for him for selfish reasons: hatred of persons of color; the need to have more money; they criminal need to be richer, more powerful, and to be able to harm anyone they want. That's what they voted for ... and so much more, imo.
Great comparison. My brother served in Desert Storm and told us how heartbreaking it was to see the Iraqis starving and desperate when they surrendered. I never imagined that so many Americans would elect the kind of people who are the 'bad guys' and call it patriotism.
Every American, regardless of political affiliation or ideology, must be up in arms and loud about the mistreatment of our military personnel.
Thank you, Nicole. It just made me think of Desert Storm. When you are starving you take drastic measures to survive. It is heartbreaking to see American military members treated so "Third World."
It is, and it's beneath all of us. It's also a good reminder that the GOP loves to lay claim-sole claim-sole on patriotism; the irony is that it's the rest of us who are defending the Constitution and our military personnel, as well as one another. I wish the cult could get out from behind their brainwashing and actually SEE what despicable things are being done in their names and ours. But we'll keep fighting, because it's the right thing to do, because somehow we still love our country and the people who serve her, and each other.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well said! 👏
I have to believe military recruiters are having problems meeting their quotas, with everything Hegseth has done to the military. And it's only going to get worse.
Not in red areas. :(
This is just awful the way our navy is being treated. Is Hegseth too busy ordering his pounds of steak & lobster to take care of this? Oh yeah, he’s just a tough guy w/make up while he’s on TV, but he couldn’t handle being on the USS Lincoln for 200 days. Give these people a break! My God!
Yes, he is, along with the Dictator Deranged Psycho Selfish Moron Mental Case who sits in the Oval Office and his wealthy republiCRAP friends. No doubt most of them would (or wouldn't/never did) enlist in the service. They expect others to give their lives so they can live in their filthy-rich lifestyle.
Jean, I totally agree!
Thanks, Lynn, for your reply!
I can't believe these horrible conditions that our sailors are in.
Mike Lindell is a joke. I can't even believe he thought he had a chance.
I can’t believe 135,000 idiots voted for him.
Right. I can't believe 70% of the military voted for Trump.
I don't get it - after he is so disrespect to them at every opportunity. Couldn't bring themselves to vote for Kamala?
It's a different military now. Even in Trump's first term there were radical MAGAts serving in the military. I personally knew 3 officers who are MAGATs. They were rising up then.
I was a ridiculously young Navy wife in San Diego in the early 70s. I cringe thinking that this could have been happening to the personnel I knew back then. Macho and full of themselves, but they wouldn't have backed anyone like t-Dump.
I agree. I grew up in San Diego. I know what you mean. My uncle retired from the Navy and stayed in San Diego after retirement. So I've been around the Navy my whole life and even worked as a civilian at 3 naval bases. I resigned in 2006 but still kept in contact with civilians and active duty. It was different back then too. It all changed in the last 10 years. I could go on and on. Maybe I'll just write a book. 😉
It is absolutely unconscionable what the sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are going through!
I hope Vance remembered to say “thank you” to Zelenskyy after begging him to stop taking out oil tankers. I also hope Ukraine got some interceptors in exchange.
I hope Shady Vance acknowledged to Zelenskyy that Z holds the cards and looks fabulous in his military green shirt.
Two items stand out for me in today's report:
1. The horrible conditions for the men and women on the USS Abraham Lincoln. Hegseth and Trump treat our military members as expendable.
2. Trump's Administration (read Project 2025 goons) removing checks on money laundering. Here is the relevant section:
"The Treasury Department and FinCEN announced a final rule permanently killing the requirement for U.S. companies and individuals to report beneficial ownership information, and FinCEN also announced it will delete the beneficial ownership information it’s already collected. Former congressman Tom Malinowski (who helped pass this law in 2020) said the entire purpose of the law was to stop drug traffickers, Russian and Chinese kleptocrats, and other international criminals hiding money behind anonymous shell companies in the U.S. Beneficial ownership information is just a record of who actually owns a company, and it existed to stop Delaware LLCs from laundering millions to offshore accounts on behalf of untraceable people or entities. Malinowski also said the move is likely totally illegal, as they are making their own rules to avoid a law passed by Congress. I cannot think of another reason of why you would do this unless you want to actively aid and abet organized crime syndicates."
Absolutely… it now appears that trump’s treasury has suddenly made the USA the world’s new safe haven for criminals, including the current POTUS and his entire mob family.
Thank you for great reporting.
Another, Despicable day
Afraid to wake up tomorrow, for another day of absolute criminal corruption, lies, deception, a War that's not reporting on the truth, the young men and women devoted to the Navy, who on the
Abraham Lincoln want to commit suicide now
No food, sickening water, no help in sight, all the while, hogbreath turns on them, trying to cut of communication with their families. While he is always drunk.
Now we have to rely on their families to report what is actually happening to that fleet
What would John McCain say
Just like when Don Jr asked his dad to get his girlfriend out of the country so he could marry his new squeeze, I’m thinking that Hegseth asked Don to give his wife a job. “ she follows me everywhere, sir, and I can’t get a drink“
Very distressing to hear about our sailors! Bring them home!
Congrats to David Crowley.
Hegseth has literally destroyed our military. He fired our best and brightest leaders for purely racial, gender and political reasons. He ran through our munitions without even considering supplies. He failed logistical common sense.
A sex abuser, alcoholic yes man in charge of our armed forces is like putting a convict in the White House.
Oh, wait, we did that too.
lol like I said the whole regime acts like it is part of a Reality Show!
And all those that support the regime. all those magas.
This is why a QUALIFIED choice who was both EXPERIENCED and COMPETENT should have been *FORCED* by Congress through "advice and consent," but since 1/3 of us didn't bother to vote and 1/3 of us are exceptionally stupid and semiliterate, apparently (watch "The Good Liars" or others who engage with Republicans...or just listen to some (R) Congressmorons as they worship TrumPedo...), "we" "elected" the cult's criminal pedo leader despite his failed coup, then all his loyal cult lackeys saw a chance for brief power and firmly affixed their lips to his ass "no matter what."
I have often suggested that only those who can vote for a legislator can donate to him. No special interest groups or corporations. PAC’s can only advertise or educate, but not donate. And no anonymity, I think voters should know who is backing their legislators.
An additional idea is that people who are born here cannot vote until they pass the same test given to those who are naturalized. Free classes for those who need them.
I would like to see ALL money out of politics. There is SO much disinformation on social media and clip channels that advertising is no longer necessary: all we really need is an impartial website where candidates can submit their voting record (if legislators) or their priorities (if first-time candidates), so that the American voters can simply see WHAT they've prioritized (and hopefully a clear plan of how they'll implement it) and how they voted to help either America or their donor/owners. Seeing commercials for someone like Baumgartner (who responded to each of my requests with a form letter and a vote the OPPOSITE way: FOR billionaires, AGAINST healthcare, FOR DOGe stealing our data he had no legal right to, FOR DOGe firing protected federal workers illegally, FOR continuing the Trump-Epstein files coverup... WHO IS HE "representing"?!?!?!)
We don't "need" money in politics: the parties will still exist, and many are engaged enough to volunteer for a candidate they feel would work for America. We just need a site to view their platform, then decide who best represents our goals for America's future.
Actually it was all the magas that ruined our military. Every single one of them that voted for him this time are responsible. It's not just the people making the decisions, it's the people who support those 'leaders', that are killing and harming our soldier.
Hung Cao and Pete Hegseth both served in the military; the actions of both of them in support of the deployed forces are just criminal negligence and they both need to be held to account after the Trump administration leaves office. Corporal Bonespurs needs to apologize to the deployed forces for his actions while they spent more months at sea than they were told to expect AND forfeit all the money he has acquired while in office — the Iranians have pegged him perfectly — and the question is whether he dies in office or gets to spend significant time behind bars for his inhumanity.
To the Democrats in Congress:
Now in the 90 day “quiet period”, the Republican Party’s challenge to the National Voter Registration Act, while not quiet, is losing bad. Of the 30 states that Trump sued for voter rolls Trump has lost 21 and won 0. Even calls for a national security emergency would never pass muster. His ploy against mail in voting has been rebuked by Judge Talwani: “The court finds that enfranchisement heavily outweighs the executive’s attempt to unconstitutionally insert itself into the domain of election regulation.”
Which brings up Trump’s favorite tactic, lies and smears, fear and intimidation through repetition and coordination, with no quiet period, ever. It is just as valid to counter this method as it is any legal challenge.
Trump’s most feared word is loser. He is a 2020 loser and come November he will be an even bigger loser. The memos just released by the WhiteHouse show that the Mueller counterintelligence investigation was short circuited. When Russia released the Clinton emails, at Trump’s request, Russia was listening and responded, without Russia’s help, loser. Call him a Fascist, which he is, but loser, never, call him an autocrat, which he is, but to be called feeble, in mind and body, loser. Accuse him of graft and corruption, but the Iranian War, loser.
All of these very pertinent issues have depth in signifying the complexity of our situation and with the added worth of know your enemy acumen, the ability to be right on target.
We the people do not consent.
Ha ha, go cry in your crappy pillows Mike. Love seeing the "generational" shifts taking place. If they refuse to put forth term limits bills, then this is what they get.
Noticing how the recalls on food have increased, I’m frustrated and angered that this administration cut out most of the infrastructure for overseeing the quality of our food. I’m sure the Prez and his administration can afford high end food sources free from contamination. The country, however, has to check the news daily to see what items on their grocery list are contaminated that day. Thanks Prez. 😬😡🤬
And his recent vaccine EO -
“Trump signs executive order calling for fewer childhood vaccines, falsely linking shots to autism“
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/10/trump-vaccine-executive-order-autism.html
Trump is soooo corrupt! He just wants to give a break to the insurance companies so they don’t have to pay for the vaccines. Sickening!!! Instead of this garbage he should be funding real research into childhood autism. Oh yea, he defunded all the medical researchers.😖😭
Remember that the felon's job is to destroy our democratic republic, and that means destroying everything we've built. A few dead people from bad food only helps the regime. smdh
"Who was secretly with Trump on that catering truck in Turkey?" I just assumed it was that aspiring Mrs. tRump No. 4 who hangs out with him all the time and strokes his--ego...only this time she was loaded up with a buncha iMacs cuz she and tRump thought they were a new burger at McDonalds. But what do I know!
The new generation Monica Lewinsky
On steroids and in plain sight for the whole world to see. (Ewwwww…)
Or the new “Melania”.
I keep thinking that everyone besides Trump on that catering truck had to hold their nose. Literally.
We all know that Trump is pretty much an idiot who is in politics for the money he can steal as well as the power to soothe his always-needy ego. But he has managed, with the help of the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society, to bring the richest, most powerful country in the history of the world almost to its knees. The in-your-face corruption and lunatic foreign policy could only be accomplished through the thorough participation of every single appointee and every hire since he took the throne! The complete lack of courage, integrity, and honor among the members of the GOP helped too, of course. If this country survives as a thriving democracy, it will be only because we completely overhaul the government from top to bottom, and with all the money since Citizens United involved, that is not likely!
The Superpower of We The People is Voting. It works; Pillow Boy lost. He won't admit it but he is a loser on so many levels, due mostly to his slavish devotion to t-Dump. Another example of people t-Dump destroys and moves on without them.
NEAR: Never Elect Another Republican.
As did every person who voted for the felon and continue to support him. Where I live, that's everyone who lives around me.
