Yes yes yes. But thank god there is something that will make them act!!! Maybe after this, they’ll find some guts and decency on other issues unless they are afraid of the gun owning cult members. Wonder how they got so many guns.

It will be their selfishness not their humanity

It was because
They
Were
Losing
Money.

Exactly.

The economy — even after this — is more likely than not to rebound. Freedom will be a harder fight.

Exactly. If there are any principled (not merely self-interested ) Republicans left anywhere, will you please join those who are trying to save our democracy before it’s too late?!

Agree, and the sad thing is I'm not surprised.

johnwfarrell.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yup.

Yup. Very clearly written by a number of folks that they care about what happens to their money more than their rights. (Because they don't understand that it IS their rights.)

Yep. Choosing clowns and lunatics like RFK, Hegseth. Then on Day 1 he's firing Blacks and women at DoD. Then disappearing immigrants. Threatening Canada!!!

Our elites are totally OK with the Nazi stuff. But Q2 earnings was the bridge too far.

Why is that surprising? And I'll never forget how Biden appointed Merrick Garland as AG & how he & the DOJ refused to hold Trump accountable for an attempted coup thereby ensuring he would be reinstalled as President/Dictator & how Dems still haven't acknowledged that.

Money seems to be the only thing that moves them. My sister voted republican over democrats because she thought Trump was going to be better for the economy meaning she would have a bit more in her pocket at the end of the month. What disappointment and what low morals and expectations!

The Republican Party is in charge of and enabling this fiasco.
