Politically liberal, fascinated by astrology, retired ultra runner disillusioned by our Democratic Party "leaders" and hopeful the American people take over and then individually and collectively put a stop to this Trump MAGA nonsense

I guess Wyatt Russell needs to speak out now. Even if it's unfair that he was misidentified in the video that was posted. Shit, if it were me I would love to be mistaken for that guy!
It's not what happens to us, it's what we do with what happens to us that defines us as human beings

I wonder if it's time for White, native-born Americans to start helping our immigrant friends and neighbors stay indoors or behind fenced yards by assisting them with their tasks and responsibilities that require them to go out in public. At least for now
That's something we can all do quietly

This is awesome. I just wish the drink they provided wasn't a Big Gulp cup filled with soda or some other sweetened drink.
Either way, owners and management of this 7-11 didn't have to do this at all. I commend them for their efforts

Of course they'll cave.
Trump will attack them on Truth Social, the dwindling number of Trump-supporters will echo those attacks, and they will eventually make their peace with selling out their constituents in order to maintain peace with Trump's armies of grifters and goons

I can't understand the challenges faced by women since thru no decision of my own I wasn't born female nor am I ever treated as if I am.
I was raised in a Christian household. Again, that wasn't a choice I made.
Hate Comey-Barrett if you wish but that won't change her lifetime appointment

We don't have to like her. I'm saying she did the right thing by recusing herself.
And tbh, she's the closest thing we have on the court to an Anthony Kennedy or a David Souter.
It's better than having an Alito/Thomas accolyte in her seat, isn't it?

She did the right thing in recusing herself from a case in which she had been involved prior to joining the Court.
Justice Thomas could learn a thing or two from his younger colleague

Our Democratic elected leaders need to leave the voters they've repeatedly disappointed alone for awhile.
Maybe they can privately hit up the big donors who aren't going to be hurt as much by the impending economic and political apocalypse

Democratic Party "leaders" seem to be there only for the profitable connections they can make, the proximity to power, and the ability to score a last-minute table at an exclusive restaurant.
I doubt their advanced age would encourage them to give those spoils up

When did you start caring about vulnerable Americans?
You haven't ever seemed to do much other than collect your paycheck, find investment opportunities most Americans never get offered, and make sure that your children keep the cushy jobs they got only because of their wealthy, connected parent

This bill seems very un-Texas House Republican like.
Unless they just want to control who these young women get to be handmaids for in the near future

So wait, Mexico isn't "SENDING people that have lots of problems... bringing drugs... bringing crime", we're actually INVITING those people in.
President Trump II has certainly changed his priorities since President Trump I.
I wonder what changed

Everyone -- and I mean EVERYONE -- wishes you had won.
A lot of people will never admit it publicly or maybe even to themselves. But they do

It's gonna get bad before it gets better. Possibly incomprehensibly bad.
But it WILL get better. Human history always does.
It just takes steps backward occasionally.
And that's where we're at in history right now. We didn't choose it but it's here

He had a window of opportunity but I think he started to question the potential loss of his wealth, connections, proximity to power, and ability to score a good table at an exclusive restaurant and decided laying low was his best option.
He was wrong. So he can't lead

Wait, so American MEN *don't* care about Ghanan orphan centers? That's some serious discrimination based on gender right there.
WHERE ARE *MY* GHANAN ORPHAN CENTER FOLLOWERS?

Our mayor, Paul Young, and our City Council members, and the Memphis Chamber of Commerce have been bought by visions of millions of Elon Musk's dollars for their own enrichment.
And love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
They'll answer for it someday

I hope that all of our elected Democratic Party leadership will start showing up at the many, many protests that Indivisible is organizing.
Why isn't the Democratic Party doing the organizational work, and using DNC, DCCC, DSCC resources to do so?
It's almost like democracy isn't that important

Isn't that what we already have Federal Supermax prison for?

AI was presented as a system that could provide its own fixes without human intervention.
If human intervention is required to regularly fix its shortcomings, what's the benefit in relying on it?
How are you supposed to know when a human will come along and fix what you don't know isn't working?

Mirrors the pharmaceutical industry.

The second question should have been "if the President decided YOU don't deserve due process, would it concern you?"
I'll never understand why the people who are paid to "go there" with their questioning never do

That was super-tough to watch. I'm a contractor at a Federal agency and I see how this whole thing has upended some very good peoples' lives.
And for what? To destroy our government and the society it supports at Putin's behest

We've seen what Democratic leadership really values: the wealth they've made from their political connections, their proximity to power no matter who's in control, and their ability to score a good table at an exclusive restaurant.
If they can help other people, ok but that's not why they're there

This made me tear up a little.
I hope I'll be as kind and considerate when I'm confronted with an experience like that.

Elise Stefanik may someday internalize the timeless adage that Everything Trump Touches Dies.
Until then, she'll be miserable while she's blaming all the wrong people for the predicament she finds herself in

It might be wishful thinking but just as Roberts voted with liberals to find the ACA constitutional, I think he'll find a way to find taxpayer-funded religious schools unconstitutional.
I'll always have hope in Roberts, even when he lets me down. Why? I have no other choice
