2 / 2. Keep spending level. Each yr more money gets freed up from less interest paid, to spend on needed programs. The wealthy have gotten a free ride for too long & certainly don’t need to pay less taxes nor need to be able to pass on to their heirs untold wealth free of taxes. Stop the stealing!

1 / 2 Dems need to step up here. Introduce your OWN bill related to the budget. The ‘Beat Back the Billionaires Beautiful Bill’. Spell out how we should RAISE taxes on the wealthy to help bring down the debt, targeting eventual elimination of a trillion $/yr in interest we’re paying.

Boo-boo. The most insecure narcissist on the planet gets what he deserves. How sweet it is!!!

To quote the great sage Rick Wilson “ETTD”

Absolutely shameful…

yes, yes, yes!!! And the idea that they need further tax breaks proves what mooches they are! We need to RAISE TAXES on the rich to make up for the free ride they’ve been getting for years on the backs of the poorest and neediest AND our grand children. It’s a taxing problem not a spending problem

Duh. No gives 2 hoots about what was going on w/Biden, cause he was surrounded by competent people who weren’t intent on trashing the country. Esp. in light of the fact frump and his merry pillagers are intent on exactly that- & doing it in broad daylight to boot. We need a focus on today’s reality

WTF…. THEY ALREADY DID IT ONCE. What’s it going to take, arresting a whole office full of people, or hauling a congressperson off to jail to get you clowns to act??? THIS IS WAR, and you idiots think we’re on a playground. It’s no wonder folks think the dems are lost and floundering. YOU ARE!!!

Ok, so how about some clarity here- Musk doesn’t like the bill because he thinks the idea of extending and boosting tax cuts for the wealthy are a bad fiscal idea, or because he feels the cuts to the poor and less fortunate in our society should be much greater to pay for them. Any bets???

What a stunning display of ignorance on the part of the Dept of Ed Sec. Science & research is about exploring and understanding the unknown, not looking for ways to support the orange toddler you work for. That won’t keep us in position of the best universities in the world, which should be your job

What we really need is a press secretary that knows the difference between truth and lies and can tell fact from fiction. It appears she needs to go back to trade school for press secretaries.

Love it when someone can summarize an issue in a few short, concise words…

The dems need to quit answering any questions whatsoever about Biden’s performance at the end of his presidency. It’s non-news. They need instead to ask about the fact that DJT is totally nuts & incompetent and we’re facing 4 years of it - and what are the republicans going to do about it???

Of course! Because it’s all about the importance of white people not being treated unfairly or made to feel uncomfortable in any way. And it’s all about inclusion for them…

This is the crux of the dems issue: when the repubs lob you a fat one like this airport problem, you need to be hammering it 24/7 just like they would do. Coordinate the response so every dem interviewed about any issue at all brings it up. Highlight the incompetence. It’s their biggest soft spot.

And to hear himself talk. He LOVES to hear himself talk. It’s like listening to a real genius(he thinks)…

I just don’t get it… but it’s all about jazz-hands at its root anyways. If you want to lower drug prices, PROPOSE SOME DAMN LEGISLATION AND PASS IT. This constant BS about EOs is nothing but a way to constantly try to distract us. There’s no meat to them at all…

Somehow Frump getting a $400 million luxury plane from Qatar for his eternal personal use doesn’t feel the same as France gifting us the Statue of Liberty. Maybe I’m just missing something…

The absolute stupidity of this administration, and this statement, is mind-boggling. That the Frump minions would buy into it shows a level of ignorance that shocks the senses. Libraries store knowledge, something MAGA runs from like the plague…

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... A great article by Derek Thompson. It breaks down concisely how idiotic, simplistic, unfocused, destructive, backwards-looking and egotistical Frump’s administration is. A true shit-show trying to take us back to a non-existent fever dream of past glory…

Bill Gates has more intelligence AND empathy in his little toe than Musk has ever had. The whole farce of DOGE was about making Musk richer and above the law, not about shrinking govt. at all. And certainly not about making life better for anyone else in the world…

Obviously, Frump needs to hire people even dumber than he is. And he certainly wants to keep the rest of the population as dumb as possible as well. Can’t have folks figuring out what’s going on….

A new pope has been chosen!!! Could it be Melania? She hasn’t been seen in days, and would probably like the outfits she’d get to wear…

The only aborted fetus debris around is the pile of it clogging his brain…

He’s doing such a great job running the country and the Kennedy Center that of course he should be pope. Then the Catholic Church will start hiding abuse of women as well as young boys….

Just another lie he pulled out of his ass…

I wouldn’t have thought I’d ever say this, but given current conditions l believe the Chinese and NOT our own government. What a sad f’ing state of affairs…

This is what the dems need to start harping on. The right is always claiming the democratic run cities have all these problems, yet they fail to note the successes of democratic run states, and republicans run the states at the bottom of virtually every metric used to measure quality of life.

Really… when tariffs aren’t really tariffs but rather just the come-ons to be part of the largest grift and ego soothing suck-up in history. ‘Kiss my ass and I’ll give you a pass on being taken to the cleaners’ before I change my mind again tomorrow.

“Great News! “The Big, Beautiful Bill” is coming along really well. Republicans are working together nicely. Biggest Tax Cuts in USA History!!! Getting close. DJT” The wealthy aren’t wealthy enough! They need more! More! More! You schmucks at the bottom ought to appreciate more all that we do for U!

Here’s pure BS if ever I saw it: “Great News! “The Big, Beautiful Bill” is coming along really well. Republicans are working together nicely. Biggest Tax Cuts in USA History!!! Getting close. DJT” More like “let’s totally blow up the debt by 11 trillion so our kids will never have a decent life”

Better be a pretty big diaper to cover that big fat ass…

Some day enough people will finally understand you’re totally f’ing nuts, and we will finally get out of this self-inflicted nightmare…

I absolutely love The Atlantic. You go, folks!!!

Howard Taft? No wait, Herbert Hoover? No wait, McKinley? Grover Cleveland? Damn, it’s on the tip of my tongue….

Pretty much sums things up….

Somehow it seems like we don’t have leaders like Dr. King any longer…

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/b... Democrats! Pay attention! It’s time to come up with ways to boost the lowest 50% of folks in this country at the expense of the wealthiest! Raise taxes on them to pay down the debt & free up more of the budget to help those at the bottom! No more free ride at the top!

Every single company raising prices needs to affix a tag to the product that lists the old price & the new & pointing out that the tariffs were responsible. People need to understand that voting for Donny got them not lower prices, but totally avoidable higher prices. Put the blame where it lies

Donny’s brain is stuck in a different century, while he yearns for the wonderful years of the 1950’s and his youth. My question is, can we please go back to the tax rates of those years, when the wealthy paid upwards of 75%, and CEOs earned only 100x the average worker instead of 10000x???

I would never claim to have the means to hire 1 of the law firms Donny is currently threatening, but I do know 1 thing for sure - I wouldn’t hire them if I could if they’ve caved to the con he’s working. How could you trust them to defend you if they won’t defend themselves???

I truly believe this is what the entire country would look like if the 2024 election would be rerun today. And that’s BEFORE the tariffs hit today. Go ahead, Donny, make your move…

We donated something like $350 over the course of many months to Crawford & the Wis. dems and are damn proud of it. And I didn’t have to run around on a stage with a cheesehead on, tho it turns out $18 million can’t buy an election anyways…

HUGE win for Ben Wikler and the Wis Dems. Nice job, folks! See you all at the rallies on Saturday!
