MAGAts are like the Bourbons. They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. Mostly learned nothing, cause you can’t forget what you never knew.

Trump has attacked, insulted, and belittled nearly every class and condition of people. No president has ever been so contemptuous of US institutions and laws. Yet, there he sits in the White House and does whatever he pleases, apparently untouchable. What is keeping him in power?

The 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is fast approaching. The present dire state of the USA indicates that a new declaration is needed, against Trump and Trumpism. mycandles.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-...

Reacting to every Trump outrage with a campaign to combat it is understandable, but a bit like taking an aspirin for cancer. Radical surgery is the only answer to the Trumpist tumor on the US body politic.

If millions advocate THEY won't be able to do anything. So, advocate for due process for everyone. It's the LAW.

We are all Albrego Garcia.

I am advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

WE tried laughing Trump away with silly memes. I'm guilty. It didn't work. Time to get serious. Ugly, even.

I totally agree that Albrego Garcia should be returned to the US, but what about all the others who have been deported illegally to prisons? What about due process? If they have committed crimes let them be tried. If convicted, send the to US prisons, like Trump was.🤑

The US is at a crossroads, Either the country allows the Trump regime to arrest and deport citizens without trial or it rises up in fury to defend the rule of law. The first means surrender to fascism and concentration camps, the second could get messy. Which will it be? Time is running out. #Garcia

If Trump keeps up his current policies, there won't be any money for China, or the people of the US. The Grapes of Wrath are coming for all but the oligarchs and their toadies.

THE USA is now governed by the Führerprinzip. The will of Der Trumpler is the source of all law and power. He can send anyone to El Salvador now. Welcome to the Turd Reich. If you're not alarmed, you are not paying attention.

The 250th anniversary of the American Revolution is nearly upon us. Corny commemorations and mythical tales will all be a part of the celebration. Will there be room for calm reflection on the events of 1775-1783? Not much, I fear, in the Age of Trump and MAGA. mycandles.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-...

This is the answer. Stand together.

In the 1930s, Europeans fled to the USA to find freedom. In 2025, Americans are fleeing the US for Europe, now the land of freedom.

Terrific - and I'm sure Vance is standing in line with a huge grin.

This is just the beginning.

Starmer is in over his head here. No one gets a good deal from Trump.

They shoulda tackled that loser, hard.

If ever there was someone that was hired solely because MAGA felt she was a pretty enough face to spit lies? It's Karoline Leavitt. I have never seen a government employee be this unqualified & we have a Secretary Of Defense that the Pentagon has to talk out of putting a permanent keg in his office.

THE USA we used to know is gone. A new one must be created. An improved Trump-proof version. mycandles.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-...

The USA is NUMBER 1! Except in 183 other countries.
