It would be nice if you would take the 250 pic part out from behind the paywall. We all need to make a living in this space (myself included)…. and this gives so many joy, inspiration, and hope. I hope you will consider this.

These are the days where I know I need to check out for a bit to escape the cruel world we live in.

You sure did. I just read that the loss of trade $ with us has already been offset by new trade relationships that have been established. Impressive.

Seems like the most sensible approach, right? This headline is straight out of 1950.

I am really questioning the value of him consuming more than 1/2 of a prime time slot. What is this doing to help us in this moment? This man holds on to things for months for his books.

She looks/sounds traumatized and this is awful to watch. I hope her constituents have the courage to force her to step up or step out. They have the power and must use it. The damage she has done already capitulating has caused generational damage and we are less than 100 days in.

Non cult R’s in red states that voted for him are not buying the bullshit. They are speaking out in town halls. That small margin that always swings elections & is made up of sane Americans that were so turned off by D’s are appalled. Rule of law & due process are deal breakers.

When is your next town hall in Buffalo?

And they will continue to vote for him because social issues are more important than their interests to survive and thrive. Tired of fighting the social issues battle vs. basic common sense. Equal rights and diversity are just too scary for too much of this country. No more bailouts.

Listened to every single pro trump farmer interview to try and understand why they continue to vote against their self interests. The common theme is “social issues and things being forced upon them”. If farmers struggle with concept of equal rights, I struggle with my taxpayer $ bailing them out.

I cannot believe this is what our taxpayer $ is funding.
We are in big trouble and need to start fighting back against Kathy Hochul.
I will say it again, Dems need to find someone to primary her and win because even this lifelong Dem is fed up.

And you wonder why voters turn against you. How about we focus NYS tax dollars on more important things to improve our lives? Lifelong Democrat begging you all to learn how to read the room.

You should call your senator and demand action. Oh wait… Signed, one of your constituents who will work very hard to replace you.

Hundreds of thousands of us will go out of biz. I refuse to be one of them. Spending my weekend working on short term plan to adapt and keep my very small brand alive so I can get re-focused on scaling up. This is going to be a fucking battle to survive, but a hill many entrepreneurs will die on.
comment in response to

This is going to put hundreds of thousands of small businesses out of business. The backbone of America. Nobody voted for this but now everyone needs to stand up and fight back.

I hope I live to see the day this fucker gets subpoenaed and forced to show up in Congress to answer a few questions.

Hopefully Chuck’s people gave him another update on all that social media that met people where they are.

This didn’t go over well in Buffalo, NY.. residents fought back and won. www.wgrz.com/article/news...

Didn't go over well with local residents when they did this is Buffalo, NY, who fought back with a class action lawsuit, and won: www.wgrz.com/article/news...

New York State is up next. Kathy Hochul is deeply unpopular. He’s funding Mike Lawler (already over 2 million in). We are in for the fight of our lives in 26 election. And top thoughts of most conservative leaning NYers? Immigration and transgenders…& not a clue what she’s protecting us from.

From one of your constituents that has supported you unconditionally, until now… resign. You are done in Buffalo and you won’t survive without it.

Being a caregiver is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. And nothing is more destructive than when this lands in your lap. Be well fellow caregivers… and take care of each other because there is not one single safety net in society for any of us.

I would love to see the when Hillary had classified emails on a private server outrage amongst conservatives . Still waiting on the same for putting classified docs next to a toilet at a golf club.

He texted his buddies national security secrets, and some veterans, like my father, will refuse to denounce this. Or keeping classified documents in a bathroom at a golf club. But Hillary…

Hi David...I just created a whole collection of Mike Lawler protest signs, shirts and bumper stickers. I hope you will share it. democracysigns.com/collections/...

Oh he’s running for governor and Elon is going to buy himself a blue state.

e-commerce biz owner here that has been chasing a 30% (vs. normal 10%) order delivery issue rate for last 6 weeks with USPS shipping. Get ready for significantly worse. It affects you as a consumer and millions of small businesses.

This was painful to watch. I have supported him unconditionally as my Senator. No more. He’s a part of the problem with Dem party and must go.

I would add that it's not just about core values. She's a fighter that genuinely cares about people, and knows how to communicate effectively. That is common ground and a big tent. My daughter, who is leans conservative on many issues, sees AOC and Pete as the future leaders of her generation.

Somewhere out there, is a judge, who will understand the importance of this moment, and fiercely defend the rule of law by locking these fuckers up for a few hours and hitting them with fines they are required to pay personally for repeatedly giving court orders the middle finger.

The same Nancy Pelosi who held back AOC from a leadership role in favor of establishment and norms? Ineffective again on what we need. She gets compliance when she wants to wield power and cover when she needs it. It’s time to move on and demand new leadership.
comment in response to

This is an opportunity for a whole lot of people to find some unity. Our common ground is Democrat leadership has failed us and we care about saving this country. This brings a whole lot of independents into the tent that now is the resistance vs. the cult that will never sway.

And seniors everywhere are terrified if they will have healthcare or social security next month. And veterans, worried whether their lifelines are about to get cut. And the farmers about to lose everything.
comment in response to
post
You got that right. And in one year, NYS has to figure out how to overcome Elon’s next purchase of Mike Lawler for Gov, which will turn out the lights on Democracy and freedoms in our state. We do not have the leadership to survive this right now.

Of course Chuck isn’t taking calls right now. It pains me as a lifelong Democrat to have just left the message letting him know I will do everything with my power to strip him of his. There’s no short term primary option for him and he needs to face his constituents right now.

When is your next town hall? Are you going to hide from us like the Republicans?
comment in response to
post
His cave is also bad enough to turn his constituents against him. Lifelong Democrat that will do everything I can to get him out of power now. He’s safe for a few more years on reelection and he knows it. He is not fit for this moment and better not hide from town halls or the power of the people.

And now it’s on us to fix this. We can’t rely on Democrats to fix the mess anymore. I am done with Chuck and Gillibrand. They can no longer be trusted to represent us. What we need in WNY right now is a Tesla style takedown of Dems like this who have failed us, and now rest of country.
