Democrat, Puerto Rican. I'm just one angry American who believes you can't have taxation without representation. (In case you miss my point, I believe Puerto Rico should be a state with representation in Congress).

I'm not a fan of the nationwide injunction but it will be hell to try and get this court to address the deluge of bad policies that will come out of this administration. We're cooked.

A lot of these people voted for Trump. I think that speaks for itself. If you ever thought this man could lead a country then you probably DO believe your medicare will be fine. I also have a bridge to sell you, your boss needs those apple gift cards, and UPS is holding a package for you.

Can a federal government be petty and bitchy?

This is what I see coming. First for women, then for others deemed "Not American." It is a return to people as chattel.

We are already a country without law. We are bound by the arbitrary decisions of a dictator and his puppets. "The Rule of Law" is already unraveling. I myself will do whatever I can to avoid being impacted by the capricious legal system of this country.

This is what Twitter is filled with right now. Rascist, Islamophobic tirades about the fall of New York. I would expect Trump to do something crazy against the city soon. Troops on ground like he has in LA.

The problem with these things is they won't be felt in the grocery store for a little while. These shocks have to filter up through the supply chain to retailers.

I'm sick of these two idiots. They are going to doom Democrats in midterms and the future. Just heads up their asses out of touch idiots.

The Democratic establishment needs to start picking some viable candidates. Cuomo is a bad candidate. It's just that straightforward. Everyone who endorsed him looks like they are out of touch (which they are) and have no idea what the base wants (which they don't).

I peeked over at Twitter and it is incredibly racist and theophobic posts I've seen in awhile. The white Christians racists are working overtime to bad mouth him as a radical Muslim and radical non-white. It is gross.

No one should trust anything this government says. Every person in a place of power is a liar. Defense, Health, Education all led by liars. Taking orders from the Liar in Chief. I’ve never been more afraid of my federal government and more untrusting.

YEs!!! The Dems are going to keep losing if they don’t figure out they can’t keep selling the same shit. Dump your tired old leadership. Their tactics are played out.

Trump wants to maximize the pain he inflicts on California as punishment for voting blue. Taking people off of fires to terrorize immigrants is a double whammy for this administration. It’s not a great feeling knowing my federal government hates me as a citizen.

America is so large and disconnected that the legal ramifications of any decision won’t really gather attention until they impact someone in your community or the corporate media decide to publicize it incessantly. Those of us dialed and over connected are left alone with any insight on reality.

I am disappointed but not surprised. This Supreme Court doesn't care about the pain it gives people.

America is a fundamentally flawed society. The path to create change will be painful and costly because the few with the wealth and power won't share it or give it up without a fight.

There were no caualties becaues or damage because Iran told them they were going to do it. This is all show for the Iranian people. Sort of how they keep telling us we won't have taxes on tips.

The current political system can be, and is, gamed by bad-faith actors all the time. That is how we ended up with so many supreme court justices who can out right lie to congress. We have people stalling for time avoiding answering questions. Judge people by their actions not their words.

Israeli leadership needs a war to stay in power. Just like Trump needs one to distract from his awful management in the US. A war serves both leaders' incompetence.

We will be at full-out war in 24 hours. There are no intelligent leaders left in Washington with any power.

This right here is the problem with the world. These men are using ideas and biases they have had for decades in a world where they no longer apply. We are fighting the same wars we've fought for the last 20 years because of this right here. Global Gerontocracy out of control.

Incompetent leadership in action. They do something they think should make the business better. The solution causes problems because they have no idea how the business works, leading to panic over the original decision. Inevitable scapegoating ensues.

The American people don't want intelligent and thoughtful people in charge. They want someone to 'own the libs' and 'project power.' They are getting exactly what they voted for: incompetent leadership that has no plans for the future of this country and doesn't care about them. Congratulations.

Doesn’t really require imagination for us in California. That is happening here.

Every day in America, I become more convinced that this society is inherently evil. Bad people get ahead. Lying is rewarded. Psychopaths get to run corporations. Toxic bosses are promoted. Good people are punished. Don’t even get me started on America’s history.

This is my whole philosophy of resistance. America has a huge service in industry sector. There is no reason that it should work for the people we fight against. They should not be able to have any food ordered. That is correct. They should have problems staying anywhere. Weaponized incompetence.

Nothing will stop Maga until Trump is dead. These people have built their whole personality around him. If you talk to a MAGA person they have no touch with reality. They just believe holy and Trump has their Lord and Savior. And something about bitcoin or gold, depending on their age.

It must be sad to find out that you are not part of the popular group at your workplace. It must be even sad to find it out like on national news. But it’s happening to JD Vance, so that makes me happy.

This administration does nothing but lie. Everything is propaganda. Everything is a short term lie. They believe the American audience is too stupid and not paying attention to make a difference.

We really shouldn’t trust anything from this government at all. They do not have our best interest in mind. They are planning to roll back recommendations on alcohol in order to help liquor companies. That’s everything you need to know about this administration.

As they said in Star Wars, fear will keep the outlaying systems in line. It only fear of the US it keeps those countries from speaking the truth.

I really dislike this trend in America. We should be electing leaders that are doing the best thing for the country even if it is not the most popular thing. Instead, our leaders try to make a career being politicians and promise whatever will keep them in office.

Making companies individuals is the stupidest thing America has done. A company has an individual has a right to free speech. But they should not be valued equal to that of citizens in this country.

I’m far more concerned about right wing extremism. The right wing extremist in this country want to kill people. The left wanna protect the environment and get high. One of those sounds dangerous, the other one sounds like a good weekend.

It is always the men who have never seen war that are so excited to engage in it. When you have leaders that have seen war, war is the last thing they want.

Everything is a loyalty test for MAGA. It is the clearest sign that it is a cult of personality. They don’t have free thinkers. They don’t have people who have different opinions in their group. You must think the right way to be part of them. That’s called authoritarianism.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. American education is failing to teach its citizens anything about history.

America runs on two things: oil and military armaments. Wars on the Middle East fuel both.
