I blame Democrats for not defending democracy and not having a clear commitment to communicate to us. I blame real Republicans who are afraid, the billionaires who are afraid to lose their kingdoms and the rest of the plain Americans who need to start giving a shit seriously.
To all the “Blue Dots in Red States,” spend some time contacting your senators while these nominations are in play. Let them know you’re going to hold them accountable if they vote to confirm. If just one or two of the Republicans wobble, it could be enough to derail these disastrous nominations.
TRUMP IS BURNING DOWN EVERYTHING THATS TAKEN 249 YEARS TO BUILD. HE HAS NO MANDATE. HE WON BY THE SMALLEST IF MARGINS AND HAS LITTLE WIGGLE ROOM IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Blaming Garland, or the SCOTUS is a thing of the past. NOW WE MUST STOP HIM IN HIS TRACKS. And venting won’t help.
Perhaps that is on us, not them. Perhaps we all needed to be worried about the state of our nation everday, all the time. Perhaps we took it for granted. Is this not exactly what our founders warned us about? " ‘A republic, if you can keep it.’ Our responsibility is to keep it.”"-B.Franklin
I try to be positive and hope it’s just a lot of noise but every bit of nazi/hitler/fascist material I come across, whether it’s a movie, quote or historical info - fits into what’s going down in the US now. It feels like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
History does not repeat, but it rhymes.
Consuela was deported
Jose and Maria were put in cages
Raphael was forced to watch as the white people still could be free while the game of Monopoly raged on.
I wonder who will be the winner in this game of life. 🥰
I don't really worry about it because I'm old enough to know exactly how this is going to go. It's going to be ugly and evil and the most important thing for all of us to do is to survive it. I suspect by the end of 4 years not even maggots are going to vote for maggot Republicans.
The only way that's going to occur is to get rid of repugnuts, they are pro-russian, anti-american.
The pupulace had the chance to devastate then in Nov, but didn't, a large number didn't even bother to vote. Now we are at the precipice of losing our Democracy.
I'm tired of this argument of "so many Americans didn't vote." We've got the HIGHEST turnout in 120 years right now! Why is this a problem all of a sudden now??
Paul elections are won on the margins. Trump won by a mere 1.4% over Kamala , so 3rd party candidates, registered voters who did not vote, could have closed that gap.
Well Paul many of the people were being disingenuous in their responses, the vote wasn't about the prices of eggs or groceries. It was about racism and misogyny. America didn't want a women, especially a black woman to lead this country, so they chose the inferior candidate, a hoodlum.
Correct, this election was stolen plain and simple! I had never stood in early voting lines for 3 hours prior to this election and no way he tore down that blue wall..he is the most hated President ever and that is why he is rewarding Musk with a spot in the WH he could of never done it without him
I agree 100% why would anyone would blindly accept results from a career criminal who thru his actions and admissions is capable of any and everything vile and corrupt.
But where's the smoking gun? I'm an old-school American: I believe in facts and evidence. Where are the behaviors? Where are the actions? Who specifically are the guilty parties?
Agreed Paul— same reason nobody has dealt w/the consequences for the indigenous people being slaughtered. Is the same reason that Blk people were enslaved for so long, then put in a Jim Crow environ & having to put up w/systemic racism w/out so much as an apology today—but no one wants to admit it.
To be fair, the number of people is insignificant when our population has grown exponentially in the last 120 years. It’s more of a percentage of registered voters that chose not to vote in this election. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Percentages are what I'm talking about. The nationwide turnout in 2020 was 66.6%, which was the highest *percentage* turnout since 1900. Turnout in '24 was just under 64%, still the second highest since 1960.
You know, I was raised in the cult and we were taught to believe the world had already ascended to equality. The bitch of it is that it was the people telling me that who have been preventing it.
BULLSHIT! You picked the wrong person to criticize my extensive knowledge of the 3rd Reich. I know what your definition of “freedom” is…ONLY 4 those that adhere to your doctrine. Shove it!
Freedom is freedom of speech and expression for ALL within the boundaries of the law. Love who you love but leave the kids alone. Be done with DEI and affirmative action, both are clearly discriminatory. Create a culture of meritocracy.
Simple things, really. I think we agree on these at least.
Violence is a choice. I choose to cut through the noise to see a bunch of grown men who like to exploit ANYONE for profit are holding the weapon that could impact all of us once again. I hope that we rise above all this nonsense everyday. Read more books & listen to music . https://youtu.be/oDQXFNWuZj8
Me too and I’m not even American I want to go him back to fawning over pretty Asian boys but I can’t cause I’m constantly worried First Felon is going to start WW3 or go after late night hosts, you can’t have Jimmy!!!
Musk rigged 2024. Republicons are the reason why USA will never have steady progress! As long as they rig elections and are above all laws we are screwed. Weak Dems always concede even when it's an obvious rig. He killed 67 people so far this round and its gonna get worse.
This all started when obama won the election. That was the last time things were normal and you could get a job for having skills. Not by being a token
And they're going to go even higher. Those people blamed the price of eggs on Joe Biden and I can't wait to see them talking about how the bird flu is ravaging flocks across the country instead of blaming the president.
Problem: Americans never believe it's bird flu. To most people, "bird flu" is simply a euphemism for something far more sinister. We'll just blame the Democrats as we've been doing. 🙄
At least half the country believes in bird flu but the trumpers that I have seen are downplaying it the same way they did with covid. Scientists say that it's just one mutation away from becoming a human problem.
then I suggest you find a way to get the 36% of Americans that didn’t bother to vote in 2024 to support and vote for your candidates in the next elections.
EVERYONE blood is here. Read the headlines as America descends into chaos. We sit and watch too shocked, afraid and not knowing what to do. The unfolding drama moves too quickly to organize action: that is their plan. Next stop economic crises that collapse everyday business as usual.
FIGHT BACK NOW
Unfortunately the damage is is about to do is not only restricted to the US I'm afraid...
And as an EU citizen I just want for our governments to be brave against this lunatic fascist autocrat as we already know that he will throw us under the bus with is friend Putin...
The entire world will suffer
I know! It's terrifying! He and Elon are setting us and the rest of the world up for some serious shit! If the EU doesn't watch out for the misinformation and hate being vomited by these narcissists every second of the day… God help us! I'm not religious but I'm praying for a miracle. 🙏🏼
It’s amazing how a few speed drug users are ready to force us to respond to Manic nonstop insanity- or else be rolled. That’s what we have with Elon tech-it’s his world takeover shot and he shooting on all fronts.
Seriously, now we can go back to actually living ! Last four years I've been abused by the medical field because too many doctors who can't speak English 💀💀💀💀
He’s learned how to get away with crimes, corruption, oppression, and injustice in his tyrannical regime as he destroys the country from within and using the chaos to distract the nation from his sharing US top secrets with Putin (whom he’s had 7 secret calls with b4 they stole the 2024 election)
They want riots. They want to be able to point at rioters and use it as an excuse for more police state and fascism. They’re just itching to send protesters to Guantanamo or just gun them down in the streets… we’re living in dark times..
Violence is a choice when there is active TB in Kansas AND Michigan. Bird flu has crossed over. COVID did not magical disappear. Flu season is here. I wonder if the numbers of how many people froze when the Polar Vortex passes through or if Denver will smell it the Spring. The situation is resolving
I'm also not religious, but it's like the antichrist himself appeared and the very people who said they hated the antichrist put him in the most powerful position in the world while claiming him to be the second coming of Jesus.
If Jesus was alive today, he'd be deported and called a woke leftie.
My wife and I run a little Lutheran church in Green Bay. She’s the pastor; I do music. Our synod is partnered with Bishop Budde’s. Lutherans don’t like to make noise, but it seems liberal churches are positioned to be close to the epicenter of the revolution. LOTS of untapped power. LFG. ✊
Hell, I’m not even religious. But my wife is hella cute in a collar, and she’s really starting to bring the heat to the pulpit. And the congregation is receptive. It really is something to see.
And where we can read something and actually just learn and grow instead of cross referencing it ten ways to Sunday to see if it's real, propaganda, or clickbait.
They miss brunch. Union density was at a record low, homelessness was at a record high and child poverty was at a record high. But they have to worry about politics now.
Exactly. Americans don't know what they want. When someone like Obama comes along who attempts major reforms, Americans hate it instantly. All we want to do is bitch.
He is the first president to actually make me cry-panic .
Two days ago ( or was it 3? ) I called my 87yo mom to make sure the Medicaid freeze was affecting her. She was fine, but I hung up the call and burst into tears.
Thankfully I'm back to just really hating punkinhead
AGREED! I am trying to avoid the nonsensical minutiae as much as possible, but I still find myself stressed and anxious in anticipation of what major F-up will come next from the pumpkin-headed idiot.
If you’re referring to other countries outside of the US, yes, that is absolutely correct. But I’m sadly American so it’s the only thing I can speak to.
What I meant by that is that for the underclass, the fears and challenges you're facing now they've been facing for a long time. This nation has been ugly for many for too long.
I cannot disagree enough. Yes, the country has been somewhat of a mess since its inception.But I never feared that we were in a complete dictatorship under Obama, Carter, or Biden. And while they made some horrifically bad decisions, nor too did I worry with and R presidents. Voting is now obsolete.
How I long for that time. Had I known how tenuous our democracy would become I would have enjoyed it more. I particularly miss the unity we felt as Americans. This "us and them" society is just exhausting.
We could’ve had that but MAGA didn’t want a black woman president. They’ll rue their vote and pray for Joe’s economy. Steadfastness. Actual patriotism. As dump blows up our constitution.
If one single white prison leaves I will bully you in my after life until the end of time. Dig deep and hold the line. Read more books about where you came from.
Think of it as being reminded that we have taken it for granted for too long……time to get involved in your local decisions…..it starts with being a part of the solution at the local level…
I didn't get my wish. We again in the throes of unending BREAKING NEWS!
Musk fired FAA staff, in air collision of plane & military helicopter in DC -- 67 dead, all bodies not yet recovered from the Potomac River. This happened after Elon Musk fired to heads of the FAA.
Then there is the crash of the medical evac Lear Jet with a minor who had life-saving surgery & was returning home. There was an escort with the patient & 2 flight staff members on board. All of them perished.
And that jet came down in a densely populated area of Philadelphia.
i was never political but researched before voting and voiced my concerns and questions now and then.
keeping up with politics is almost a full time job now.
a job i don’t want but if i don’t pay attention eventually i wont have a voice
With this guy it is. He let Musk run the operation of this country and he is way out of his league. I’m not overwhelmed anymore nor should you. You have it in you. Just enjoy time when it comes and keep fighting the good fight whatever you can.
Comments
there are 300 million of us.
Are we going to sit back and as we lose our country the first month of this administration?

If you're over 50, you really feel it. You're a little closer to WWII history.
Freedom is back though my friend. We will all benefit.
Simple things, really. I think we agree on these at least.
Too late.
Should have thought about it in Nov. 2025.
(And... he wasn't unknown then)
Where's the surprise?
FIGHT BACK NOW

Get on the bandwagon! LFG! We are out of time! Peaceful Trump protests now will ensue✌️
