As much as I’d like 2 see Trump impeached; this effort would b a waste of time & not advance the Dems causes! Fight legislatively & in the courts on acts/issues that r illegal/unconstitutional & stop efforts that only make Dems look foolish! Talk about issues not Trump! Abandon sanctuary policies!

This is probably what needs to happen to swing the pendulum back from extreme right wing policies & dogma. Unfortunately we are dealing with a cult mentality that operates well with lies and deceit! Negative consequences for working class voters will hopefully reach critical mass for change soon!

Dems lose if they can’t move more 2 a center ideology. We lost 4 supporting illegal immigration & DEI/LGBTQ rights more than middle class needs/values. Rs hijacked working class by respecting them more as tax paying citizens. Why is it R’s leg 2 not tax tips & SS?Respect citizen ‘s rights/tax$ more!

I place blame where ever it seems justified. Truth is we have many ppl gaming the system, but the rich get away with it more due to lack of enforcement efforts & lawyers. The poorer criminals (usually minorities) r the focus of local law enforcement! Crime is the problem regardless of status!

I spent a lifetime in white collar criminal law enforcement. All crime is bad, but street crimes r more visible. Stories by victims resonate w/American voters who fear 4 themselves & their families. White collar crime r not as obvious & victims don’t easily feel the immediate pain of their crimes.

Yes most $ stay in the US w/ US companies , but it all costs the US taxpayers. I support Ukraine, & mayb a majority of US do also, but our reality is that Trump is in the catbird seat. I’m not giving in 2 Trump, but reality is a majority of voters (not me) put him there w/a Rep controlled Congress

To think illegal migrants pay taxes & don’t receive any benefits is not reality. They receive many free services like education, healthcare, housing & welfare. My daughter is an RN at LA county jail & my son is a police officer. Our jails r full of illegal criminals! Reps r gaming the system also!

Other countries in Europe & Balkans should step up their support 4 Ukraine but unfortunately w/o US equipment, intelligence or financial support they would most likely succumb 2 Russia @ a very high cost of lives! Z is forced unfortunately 2 accept US deal, 2 have any hope 4 remaining sovereign!

Marco looks like a Trump zombie, trying to figure out how his true beliefs and past positions on international affairs can be reconciled to MAGA anti NATO, pro Putin and US exploitation acts to seize/claim foreign land/assets! He has always been a weakling who talked tuff!

Dems need to focus on tax policies that favor the middle class rather than fight losing battles on immigration, etc.. How did Reps get the lead on cutting taxes on Tips and SS? No wonder Trump will get tax cuts for rich thru w/o notice! Cutting IRS protects rich from scrutiny over tax fraud practice

Yes but in time without US support, I am afraid that Ukraine would eventually have 2 surrender & loose its sovereignty! Unfortunately Z will have 2 accept Trump’s corrupt deal 2 avoid surrender 2 Russia! Trump’s greed might b the only thing that saves Ukrainian lives & sovereignty from Putin!

You r correct, but we have a Pres who will force a peace deal on Ukraine by withdrawing US support unless Z accepts an extortion deal 4 rare minerals first! Trump will force Z 2 give away eastern occupied areas & Crimea 2 Russia 2 ensure Ukraine’s sovereignty thru a US business partnership.

Greens tactics will not work! Dems need 2 articulate a plan other than harassment! Dems lost fight on immigration b/c of drugs, crime, & tax/benefit fraud! Time 2 have an immigration plan that deals w/criminals, VISAlabor needs & secures border & ends tax/benefit fraud & sanctuary city obstruction!

Dems keep trying 2 change ppl’s minds by proving him a liar! This won’t work b/c ppl want 2 give deference. Dems can’t b disrespectful or back positions on issues contrary 2 law or ignore serious problems by being 2 politically correct! Trump will have 2 trump himself by failed policies over time!

Probably the best strategy against Trump/MAGA is to let them destroy themselves w/their draconian destructive cuts, tariffs, tax cuts 4 the rich & deportation policies. Eventually when they drive the economy into the ditch, & ppl feel the pain, Democrats’ policies 4 working ppl may become popular!

We have 2 remember that Russians bailed Trump out when US banks turned him down 4 loans. Trump developed a business relationship w/Russian oligarchs who lent him money & in return he may have helped them & himself by laundering money! He took Miss Universe 2 Moscow & tried to broker many deals!

I’m convinced Putin has compromising information on Trump, but also they r very successful at manipulating Trump’s huge EGO into believing he can become a wealthy powerful Autocrat like Putin. Trump is dividing up the world by rejecting NATO & using sphere of influence/tax burden 2 guide ppl’s minds

Trying to embarrass Zelensky for not wearing a suit is ridiculous. All the “suits” in that room who feel high and might but made fools of themselves, siding w/the aggressor Putin, who wears very expensive suits! Apparently there is a dress standard to follow in order to get US support!

We now have the inmates in charge of the insane asylum! Can’t believe the American public really understood & supported Trump after all his past corruption & failures! The right doesn’t want a system of checks and balances or judicial independence; they want power/control!

Well now that we have Trump’s corrupt sycophant’s’ in charge of the Department of Justice and the FBI, what possibly could go wrong? If Democracy survives the dismantling of the Federal Government institutions, policies and programs, we will be very lucky! This idiocracy will lead to an autocracy!
