Next you’re gonna try to tell me that the George W. Bush administration exploited a catastrophic event and lied to the nation so they could start a war they profited off of. Are you going to suggest that W used 9/11 to erode privacy rights and civil liberties all while crashing the economy?

Next you’re gonna try to tell me that Richard Nixon was a criminal who negotiated to extend the Vietnam war until after a presidential election, resigned and disgrace and oh yeah crash the economy.

Certainly you aren’t going to suggest that the Wealth inequality, mental health and substance abuse crisis, and chronic homelessness in this country Are the direct result of policies Ronald Reagan put in place?

You aren’t gonna try to argue that Ronald Reagan negotiated with Iran to hold the hostages until after the election against Jimmy Carter, engaged in multiple extra legal activities like Iran contra, and crashed the economy?

We are definitely in completely new territory which will require completely new tactics. Those who wish for democracy and the rule of law will have to adopt a war posture of some kind, in their minds and consciences and in their approach to politics and everyday life. Apathy is literally for losers.

The biggest challenge is keeping Chuck and Hakeem and wimpy Dems from freaking out and falling for the schtick ... They've already been firing people for no reason since the beginning. The courts are the only hope for now, but giving in to this #TrumpShutdown nonsense would be catastrophic. @dscc

Americans don’t read, they don’t think and they don’t want. They have been trained to care about the NFL, drinking and churches they don’t go to. As Dean Wormer warned, “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life,” but they aspire to that.

I disagree. Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz said the felon was going to do horrible things and talked about project 2025. Corporate media framed them as liars (The Hill piece on military in cities) and exaggerating. This media took the word of trump, who lied over 30,000 times during 1st term instead.

Living in the South I hear it from the undereducated and those that grew up here saying that slavery was alright because it was accepted at the time. They still do not see people of color as equal. They dislike the North and hide behind religion. I love to tell them I am 'woke'. It surprises them.

Not only do I not believe anything that comes out of his mouth, but I also don't trust or believe anything his lemmings say......everrrr. The American people have never been lied to this much in the history of.....lying politicians. It's truly dizzying.

Sorry, but I don't think enough people were listening to "he's a bad guy". People just chose to not remember how bad he was. The health insurance is a good way to go, but they should add they can't negotiate at all with them. The ones I heard are saying that.

A thousand thank yous. Sorry to inflict pain on folks but this government should shut down because we have an insane destructive mad hatter running this Country into the ground. Shut down his playground and lock him in the WH bunker until the paddy wagon comes for him!

GEORGE!....No..No you don't get away with that ..without explanation..Sure, show them to the world..and leave us hangin..wtf..looks like a Giant Spider bite...2 fanger..They would make you wear a long sleeve on Network

It's simple: Trump & the Republicans are taking advantage of the fact that most people are stupid / ignorant. Only about 64% of eligible voters actually voted in 2024. That tells you something about the voters in the US.

🔎NEW: ICE docs reveal plans to hire contractors to flag “potential criminal activity” from social media and commercial/gov databases. A pre-crime dragnet with no definitions and no warrants. Also includes associates/coworkers/neighbors/family members. open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

The YouTube link here goes to the episode titled "It's All BS! Epstein is Why Trump Keeps Inventing “Emergencies” " from September 4th. Not the most recent one ("Trump’s Corruption Is as Stupid as It Gets" from yesterday Oct 2nd).

The Substack link was hinky for me. I arrived at the page, but the subscription page wouldn't let me continue. The X in the corner of the page didn't respond, either. I went to the Substack main page to find the Bulwark. Just FYI.

If they ever had them, Republicans traded their souls and honor in to Donald. Even if they were always snakes 🐍 at they used to pretend souls and honor were important 🙄

Trump’s claimed armed conflict with drug cartels isn’t aimed at them. It’s aimed at us. It’s emergency war powers he’s after, not drug interdiction. Everything is a pretext for Trump. On another level, do you want a war with Venezuela for regime change? Another pretext. The enemy within is us.

One has to wonder why the Republicans just don't agree to all the Democrats wants and Trump then can sign the bill. After that, Trump just rescinds everything he doesn't like. The Supreme Court seems to give him kingly powers so he can do anything he wants.
