Too bad voters didn't think of things like that before they voted for a Republican since they're known as serial liars.

So true.... the lies are in every sentence and phrase, that is aside from the hate and otherisms that were spewed on and on and on.

Not to mention if a person is representative of integrity, truth, transparency, facts, and honesty of character - why would the person choose or have to plead the fifth over and over to the simplest question?... to most every and any questions asked? (Introspecttion would take a guess or ask)

Why were some so desperate to believe, and to hold onto the lies?. When truth, statistics and reality were staring them in the face.

Shouting in their ears, and conking them on the head to get woke!, come out of the stupper and the trance, or the romance of being conned.

Now lets mention the swamp?...

Can you guess or either imagine the biggest burden, biggest bully, biggest crooked crocodile in that swamp.

I don't want to believe what the world is seeing and coming to believe. That some "Americans are just proud idiots"

I have so much faith that the good, sane and civil society of America will resist, overcome and win back liberty, a rule of law, and purge the enablers and evil doers. 🗽😏⚖️🫵🏻🤔🗳💯👣🎯🫂🗣💥🫱🏻‍🫲🏿 ✨️📃☮️

One thing for certain is that Americans are proud, they're of goodwill, though stubborn and have a lot of attitude.

The frindge in America want to topple it.

However the majority are not wanting nor willing to go back in time to revisit the ugly parts of history and relive the lack of achievements when we were in a gilded age.

From now on the representatives' in gov't ¹records, ²their bills, ³their votes, and ⁴their actions will be looked into and examined before... during... and after... to get the vote! 🗳. To earn the vote! and keep a vote!

The American laziness, taking things for granted, and not taking the role of gov't in our lives serious enough to protect it - has landed us in these monkey pants and predicament.

This fiasco of the fringe trying to stage a coup of the gov't is Americas' 🇺🇸 wake up call to stay woke, be ready, and get active bc having liberty 🗽 is not easy to keep, and it's worth taking a chance on, and its worth the sacrifices to resist....

@Diane J ... Agree. They bought into the "them" concept not recognizing (at the time) that Dumpty Doo Doo's version of "them" was/is every voter who backed MAGA. It's a rude awakening for everyone who believed the lies MAGAT created. The "them" is us.

So Wisconsin is finally figuring out that the republicans they have been voting for are only representing the interests of "out of state" billionaires. Hey Wisconsin, welcome to the party. It has only been happening since before Reagan was elected. Now do something about it!!

Brett, as a lifelong resident of Wisconsin and grandson of a small farmer, I have so had too much of our devious Republican Party turning to the one-party state of trump. Derrick van Orden may have served honorably in the U.S. Navy, but he and his fellow Seal Pete Hegseth have betrayed their oaths to the U.S. Constitution to fall in line with the supreme traitor trump. I will support Ms. Cooke mightily, since she and others with real courage hold the key to kicking these fascists out of office.

Sorry for the late reply, I had to find out what was going on.

There are a lot of labor Day protests against the Trump Regime in Canada, being organized by various labour councils. These are the support infrastructure for unions.

At the top of the heirarchy is the Canadian Labour Congress, and it is a kind of clearing house for all union events.

https://canadianlabour.ca/events/

or

https://workerstogether.ca/events/

It is made up of several provincial Federations of Labour:

https://canadianlabour.ca/who-we-are/labour-federations-and-councils/

Each federation has regional Labour Councils, and these are the ones who actually organize protests and events in their local areas. Councils are not unions themselves, but advocates of social change.

The national protest for Canada is being organized by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW):

Made Here, Paid Here

He did save money on one thing only 🤦🏻‍♀️ he didn’t spend any money on his visual aid of what’s wrong with the VA⁉️😡 The only thing I am sure‼️ GQCP had the nerve to talk about saving money meanwhile they are blowing money all over the place on parades, golfing, partying, ICE bounties, concentration camps⁉️😡 I surely hoped Rebecca would have won too⁉️ Too many voters in my state vote like it’s a football team you could never vote against! 😵‍💫

Hello Rebecca Cooke , you go gal, You have got the moxie. You will make a wonderful rep for your constituents. . Republican Congressman Derrick Van Orden has done a wonderful job representing Trump, That is all he represented. He lied to his constituents and was only there for himself and his boss. For all the voters in Rebecca's district , give her the thumbs up. Send Mr. Van Orden packing. PS: does Derrick get to keep his all inclusive health care when he leaves congress. Health Care that all American citizens should be getting.

Cheeto Freezing Funds Is NOT The Point Like Tariffs Another Tax On American People

The Orange Cheeto and his Nazi allies in the Executive Branch are freezing federal funds to local, state, and federal agencies on the pretense of cost cutting That is now becoming obviously ludicrous that it’s about making government frugal and streamlined The Nazi party has long contended there is government waste, fraud and abuse but the cutting of civil service jobs is to facilitate privatization of government services

But the funding cuts is a bully tactic to weaken all levels of government from local to state to federal so that these agencies become unable to function effectively, leading to loss of services for those most vulnerable and to projects that serve broad American communities, forcing again a privatization of government The crippling of agencies becomes a bludgeon to hold over American communities so they will have to privatize for funds or services to survive And Cheeto can insist that cities and states cannot effectively work without him, the strongman dictator who can ride into the rescue or take control of services This has just happened in Washington DC with control of Union Station

Freezing funds then becomes a tactic or strategy that bully strongmen use to their advantage to force privatization of services or projects Yet another tax on the American people VOTE these Nazis out of office and prosecute them

The country elected a spendthrift Cheeto is presenting "hidden taxes" on the American people Tariffs, cost cutting so as to push expenses once covered by the federal govt eg cut FEMA expense to the people suffering natural disasters in Texas and Missouri, and now as you say having the taxpayers pay for Cheeto's "tough on crime" fiasco

WE the People will vote these Nazi bums out of office on the local state and federal level
