Left-leaning Political Independent in NW Iowa. I support equal rights for everyone. Capital punishment is state-sponsored murder. Republicans seem to be hell-bent on destroying our government, and bringing the U.S.A. to its knees.

D0n0ld had the Coast Guard Commandant, Linda Fagan fired. Now, he fired General Charles Q. Brown, Jr., from his position as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I wonder what would happen if young black & brown men & women quit volunteering for the U.S. Military. Think about it.

Republicans are fascists!

Republicans (aka ultra-conservative extremists) embrace various 'isms' e.g. racism, fascism, nationalism, and SEXISM. USA TODAY apple.news/AZDnV5GrBRge...

Good morning to all concerned antifascists. This is a brief article that explains the effect of the "smokey room experiment" as it relates to the "gradual arrival" of fascism. The Guardian apple.news/ABFerm-s-Sbi...

I read news articles that say many Republicans are having second thoughts about their decisions to vote for D0n0ld TruⓂ️🅿️ for president. I presume that's because they never had any "first thoughts," but now, with all the sh!t hitting the fan, they don't know what to do. They're scared.

"Justice" will not be a feature of D0n0ld's second part-time presidency, but "vengeance" already is. NPR apple.news/ATiXJFDLmQlm...

Cruelty is the point. Racism is the reason. "Evilness" is the root. @murielvieux.bsky.social Miami Herald apple.news/AqL0BSUZXRIa...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. recognizes bullies, phonies, and cowards. Kudos to AOC! Homan can go pound sand. MSNBC apple.news/AJWCnclgeSci...

Sooner or later, D0n0ld turns on everyone (though his money-man may be safe). Bloomberg apple.news/Araymsqw2QpG...

"Plain-talking" Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) has it right. Her Republican colleagues can't quite see the writing on the wall. When they do, the recession will already be on them. HUFFPOST apple.news/AdqCS8LSXRju...

Will congressional Republicans ever respond, with courage and resolve, to D0n0ld 'January6️⃣' TruⓂ️🅿️, or will they simply "stand back and standby" as he breaks the back of our country?

Congressional Republicans are 100% responsible for their uncomfortable dilemma. They could have prevented this back in 2020, and again in 2021, but their cowardice and their thirst for power prevailed. If our government falls it will be on the Republicans. VANITY FAIR apple.news/AIa8NSNMkRgi...

Slava Ukraini! (Putin started the war and dimwitted D0n0ld damn well knows it.)

A hero has passed. 😢 NPR apple.news/AbApyt5HuRPa...

Republican senators have been humiliated "the old-fashioned way, they earned it." Their obsequiousness is disgusting and shameful. THE NEW REPUBLIC apple.news/AiAt3PlveTLS...

It's funny how U.S. senators continue to believe they can ignore their "king's" wishes. What are they thinking? THE NEW REPUBLIC apple.news/Aq_0Emx_ASxW...

Will congressional Republicans "cling to their king" until 2029, or will they wake up? HUFFPOST apple.news/Aq21xyOZySAi...

Good morning. Excerpt: “Republicans’ budget proposal is a betrayal of American families — slashing Medicaid, Medicare, & Social Security to finance $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires,” Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.) said. THE HILL apple.news/AQA_ukAtuQBy...

We're barely into the 5th week of our new "government" and I've already had enough of that stupid b🅰️st🅰️rd and his crazy sidekick.

Are you surprised? I am not. Of course the Republican senate will confirm him, they're anti-democracy and anti-law and order. The Guardian apple.news/APVh4RGz2TnW...

"Who could have anticipated that a dangerous psychopath would use the SCOTUS presidential-immunity ruling to claim an exemption from the law"? THE NEW REPUBLIC apple.news/AMKuATUKeSd6...

No surprise here. T0m H0m🅰️n is behaving exactly as I expect an acolyte of D0n0ld TruⓂ️🅿️ to behave. In my opinion, "enforcer" is an accurate label for H0m🅰️n. For me, it conjures up an image of a ham-fisted mafia goon. HUFFPOST apple.news/A4BUAjRHES2y...

Hee, hee, MAGA voters continue to believe D0n0ld is one of them (even though he never was). They haven't yet realized he no longer needs them, now that he's back in the "Whitey House."

D0n0ld's first 5 weeks as "president" is proceeding exactly like most thoughtful people expected: he's stumbling along with little forethought and a lot of malice. His "administration" of bumbling idiots is a disaster, like a sailing ship with loose cannons. MSNBC apple.news/Aer71FZkPR1S...

In my opinion, D0n0ld appointed the most incompetent, dangerously-loyal, and willingly-malicious people to his administration. The country will surely suffer for his intentional acts of evil. THE NEW REPUBLIC apple.news/Ae6ufLBklRyG...

D0n0ld seems to believe he rules the world. D0n0ld is delusional. D0n0ld belongs in a hospital for the mentally disturbed.

On this Presidents' Day, the U.S.A. has no "president."

Excerpt: “The hell with Republicans,” said Steele. “They’re not going to do anything, they’re the problem.” HUFFPOST apple.news/AR_i_LS3sSae...

Good morning. On this Presidents' Day, I think it's important to remember that the psychopath currently in the White House "ain't no president." I'm O.K. with most past presidents, some of whom I would gladly welcome back.

Wouldn't this be like creating a "National Benedict Arnold Day"? HUFFPOST apple.news/AyVGoGid8Qxa...

We live in a country governed by a moron whose cabinet is made up of morons. If this sh!t doesn't end soon, we're f**king doomed! UNILAD apple.news/Aom409O51SC2...

After the past 8 years, the shameful presidential campaign of 2024, the disgraceful decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, and the blitzkrieg of the past 4 weeks, I find it hard to refute any statement that D0n0ld "January 6" TruⓂ️🅿️ is above the law. INDEPENDENT apple.news/AgvubXhSkRYi...

I suspect President Zelenskyy was not invited because neither Put!n nor TruⓂ️🅿️ are smart people, and they both have fascist designs on Ukraine. I expect TruⓂ️🅿️ will betray Ukraine. NBC NEWS apple.news/AjHRZspxaRPC...

Kudos to N.Y. Gov. Hochul. The U.S. Supreme Court is responsible for this Southern-fascist bullsh!t. NBC NEWS apple.news/AeIMWUU9lR42...

Many U.S. Senators are just like D0n0ld "January 6" TruⓂ️🅿️: It's all about themselves and their power (country be damned). The Guardian apple.news/AUc09Ci-ETH2...

Um, I thought Republicans claim to be the "Rule of Law" party. Perhaps I misunderstood. AXIOS apple.news/AQsJWXx4gQAu...

Hmmm. Hasn't Israel been putting Gaza through hell for 16 months? There can't be much left for D0n0ld to destroy. THE NEW REPUBLIC apple.news/AbvcSk7_KTEu...

Well, well, well. I wouldn't anticipate this from a government which is controlled by a "stable genius." NBC NEWS apple.news/AdqfW8BLsR3m...

This isn't a scandal in the current political environment. "Corruption" is acceptable in TruⓂ️🅿️'s government. Congressional Republicans will "look the other way." THE NEW REPUBLIC apple.news/AHM8cHFCFQge...
