I've said it before. But if we are going to fix America, it's going to take all of us. Americans that voted for Trump got conned. Yeah, we kept telling them, and it's frustrating that it took what is currently happening for them to see. But they are starting to see the truth. Encourage them.

What was there to check really, not trying to hide it. Clearly posted the date. Bird flu did affect egg supply and prices. It's still happening. People shouldn't think everything is ok.

Local Walmart in Florida on February 4, 2025. And yes, the eggs in those cartons were broken.

Yes. We've placed such emphasis on wealth and power, that half the country seems to have forgotten that all men (persons) are created equal.

There's probably a whole other discussion about if the Attorney General should be influenced or controlled by the President.

Trump isn't saying he is the only one who can interpret law. He's saying he is the only one that can speak for the Executive branches interpretation of the law. We should be honest about this.

Almost forgot to post the link to the decision:

While appreciate everything that Democracy Docket does, the reporting on this one could have delved into why the judge denied the request, or at least provided a link to the decision. Thank you for all you do, but the reporting on this issue fell a little short.

Seriously, they are doing this. And it sounds like the Trump administration supports it.

Might be worth starting a thread of people that have had similar experiences with Meta platforms.

2 days ago I had a post removed from Facebook claiming it was spam. The post was about DOGE hacker Ethan Shaotran being a part of a team that developed ballot manipulation software. The only links to external sites were the Bluesky post doing the reporting and the Wayback Machine related evidence.

Do you have proof of this?

It's a slogan. Based on the false idea that America is a failing nation, and not an evolving system. It incorporates isolationism, xenophobia, and authoritarian ideals into its principles. At least that's my definition.

I get that. And your posts do seem to indicate that. What made you vote for Trump?

Reach out to those you disagree with. Some of them have legitimate reasons for what they feel. Understand those reasons. If not for them, for yourself. For your own understanding of how to navigate this crisis. Please, for the sake of every American.

I feel a need to say something about this discussion. Our democracy is in danger of collapse because of an authoritarian leader. It will take ALL of us to fix things. Democrats can't do it alone, not without violence. We need to use our words and understanding before it comes to that.

Let's not get into the back and forth of slamming each other. I'm trying to understand why she is so pro-Trump or anti-Democrat. You all may have already had these types of conversations. I'm trying to have one with her now. Please respect that.

As to the definition of MAGA, you post a lot of memes. Typical of MAGA accounts. Not a lot of detailed information. Just short opinionated memes that are basically propaganda. You seem to be anti-Trans. Also, another MAGA trait. Most of your memes seem to celebrate Trump's win. Also, a MAGA theme.

You're right, I did call you MAGA. It seemed to fit your posts on your profile page. And as I said, sometimes for clarity and brevity labels are necessary. I should have said you appear to be MAGA. It wasn't meant as an insult. Just meant to be descriptive. My apologies if that wasn't true.

Please define classical liberal. Everyone seems to have different definitions these days. I personally don't like labels for people, but it is a necessity to clarify the issues.

Ok, what issue makes you so oppositional to liberal ideals? Is it transgender issues? Is it fiscal policy? Is it "wokeism"? Is it foreign policy? Pick.

You pick.
comment in response to

Agree. Which is why I asked you take your pick on the issue. I'm willing to discuss any of them with you.

Honest question, why do you post just a screenshot of the headline? Why not post a link to the article?
comment in response to

Take your pick. You're the one with the strong opinions.
comment in response to
post
No, but most of what MAGA talks about is not truth, but personal opinion. Opinions that seem to always put down or harm others.
comment in response to
post
Of course, after looking over your profile, it's clear you are MAGA. So, I can understand why people would be angry with you specifically. Maybe toning down your rhetoric, and trying to be human again would help.

I don't think that is the case. People are angry. Emotions get the best of people sometimes. I've called out bad information before and have had almost no negative responses.

I don't think this is being banned. The artist stated he received an email about removing the post that turned out to be fake.

This should read, "Demand Russia GTFO of Ukraine!"

Sorry, for the Nazi imagery. But the Germans had a phrase for Hitler's power. Just trying to make the point.

Too little. I get what he is doing. But it's cowardly. Call Trump out by his name. Take a stand and be part of the opposition to this insanity Trump is putting this country through.
