Exactly. The Court was meant to be a check on power, not an extension of it.
When the majority forgets that justice is supposed to protect the vulnerable—not entrench the powerful—we all lose.

Sarcasm aside, it’s horrifying that we’re now relying on underpaid, overworked civilians to ‘handle’ what our leaders won’t even call by its name.
This is domestic terrorism—and pretending otherwise only enables more of it.

Exactly. When hatred is normalized and violence is winked at by those in power, it spreads.
Words have consequences — and silence in the face of political violence is complicity.

Ah yes, the classic 'I made $57 million but don’t touch it' defense. If the money is in the family and tied to his name, he benefits — full stop.
Walled off or not, that’s still a conflict of interest, and pretending otherwise insults everyone’s intelligence.

Exactly. It's not just revisionist, it's outright dishonest. Putin wasn't excluded for no reason — he invaded a sovereign country.
Trump's attempt to rewrite history to justify cozying up to autocrats is a disgrace and a stain on America’s global standing.

Of course he doesn’t. De-escalation requires diplomacy, restraint, and respect for global consensus — all things Trump has consistently rejected in favor of chaos and posturing.

Exactly — nostalgia isn’t just a sentimental escape; it can become a cognitive drag.
It idealizes the past at the expense of progress, making us resist necessary change because we’re chasing a version of history that never fully existed.

Russia was kicked out of the G8 because it invaded Crimea — not as a snub, but as a consequence. Letting Putin back in wouldn’t have prevented war; it would’ve rewarded aggression. Appeasement doesn’t stop authoritarians.
It emboldens them.

Exactly — nostalgia tends to polish the past and blur the rough edges. It’s comforting, but also distorting. We remember the feelings, not the full reality.
And as the present becomes harder to navigate or accept, the past feels safer, even if it wasn’t.”

Thank you for speaking up. It takes strength to confront extremism, especially when it’s close to home.
Your voice matters — and we need more people with lived experience to help others understand what’s really happening.

This is a dangerous shift — politicizing the civil service undermines the very foundation of an effective, impartial government.
Merit and expertise should guide federal work, not loyalty to one person.

Great 👍 — as long as it's more than a slogan and includes fair labor practices, environmental responsibility, and a real plan to compete with global supply chains.

Exactly. No one here is excusing it — because unlike your take, people in NYC actually live in reality.
Maybe try listening before lecturing next time.

Or maybe it's just a reflection of what once felt safe, meaningful, or hopeful — not necessarily a defect, but a desire to anchor ourselves in a world that's constantly shifting.

Exactly. When a leader signals that violence is acceptable — even patriotic — it stops being fringe. It becomes strategy.
That’s how democracies crumble: not all at once, but when violence becomes a legitimate tool of politics.

Religious extremism mixed with political radicalization is a dangerous formula — and this is the result. When leaders normalize violent rhetoric, this is who listens.
We need to stop treating this as isolated and start confronting it for what it is: domestic terrorism.

Absolutely. His rhetoric isn't just offensive — it's reckless. When people in power normalize hate and cruelty, it puts real lives in danger.
We can’t afford to stay silent.

There’s a difference between holding people accountable and resorting to name-calling and hate.
When leaders normalize slurs and dehumanization, they’re not solving problems — they’re fueling them.

Amazing how folks romanticize ancient empires while ignoring the real struggles of people living under oppression today.
Maybe focus on making democracy strong again — at home and abroad.

🤣🤣....how 'experience' only matters when it's someone pushing for real change. Meanwhile, a 19-year-old named Big Balls is collecting a GS-15 paycheck and we’re pretending that’s normal. Spare me the pearl-clutching over Zohran.

Right—because nothing says 'cool' like turning Halloween into a political rally. Under Obama and Bush, politics wasn’t a costume. Trump made it a cult.
There’s a difference between civic engagement and indoctrinating kids into authoritarian cosplay.

This is horrifying, and sadly, not shocking anymore. Politically motivated violence is escalating—and it’s being fueled by dangerous rhetoric and extremist ideology.
This isn’t just a criminal case, it’s a national warning siren.

For nearly two days, authorities had been searching for 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, a resident of Green Isle, Minnesota, a small town in Sibley County about 45 miles southwest of the Twin Cities.

This is political terrorism, plain and simple. It’s not just ‘one disturbed man’—it’s the inevitable outcome of years of violent rhetoric, dehumanization, and the normalization of extremism.
We can’t treat this like an isolated incident when the pattern is clear and growing.
comment in response to
post
They always claim ‘lone wolf’ when it’s one of their own, but Boelter didn’t emerge from a vacuum. He was radicalized by the rhetoric, emboldened by the hate, and armed with a list inspired by MAGA priorities.
This is the movement—just stripped of its PR.

Beautifully said. We owe it to Melissa Hortman's memory—and to our democracy—to lead with decency, not division. We can disagree without dehumanizing.
It's time to reject the noise and return to dialogue, compassion, and common purpose.

That’s incredibly frustrating—and deceptive. If sellers are just drop-shipping from Amazon, buyers deserve to know. EBay absolutely should require transparency so customers can make informed choices, especially if they’re trying to avoid supporting certain companies.
Thanks for flagging this!

Brief alignment achieved. Then, with the swiftness of a thumb scroll, he reminded me why he's the patron saint of misplaced confidence.
Maybe it’s not just his vision that needs checking.

Hard to disagree with that. In a democracy, military might shouldn't be a centerpiece of national pride—we honor service, not flex force.
Turning patriotic celebrations into displays of weaponry feels more like authoritarian pageantry than American tradition.

Exactly. Judge Breyer made it clear—there was no legal justification, no rebellion, no breakdown in civil order. The deployment was a pretext, plain and simple.
Abuse of emergency powers to silence dissent should alarm everyone

This is a critical line in the sand. When the military is used to police civilians—especially without the Insurrection Act—it’s not just unconstitutional, it’s authoritarian.
We need accountability now before these 'exceptions' become the new norm.
comment in response to

Exactly. He’s not winning—he’s stalling. Abusing the slow wheels of justice to impose unconstitutional actions while the courts catch up.
It’s a cynical playbook, and we’ve seen it before.

Unbelievable. Punishing a senator for doing their job is textbook authoritarianism. This isn’t governance—it’s intimidation.
Democracy is under direct attack.
