The irony about the right calling us socialists, is that they themselves have bought shares in companies like Intel, Nvidia, USA Rare Earth, Westinghouse, etc. using tax payer funds, loans, contracts, etc. Amazon, Meta, Apple, etc. have tax benefits. This is the very definition of socialism.

I am positive about Democrat wins next month, but today I saw a post from a Facebook friend ( I have Republican friends and even 1 MAGA). But this post badmouthing blue states just made me depressed, I realized that so many voters are clueless. No interest in politics at all. Truly terrifying!

Social media led us to believe that other countries meddled in our elections. But I have to wonder, what are they getting out of it? Did it backfire on them? Because they don't seem to be doing too well either, China not withstanding. Did Trump go rogue?

Door to door mailings of leaflets pointing out they have been lied to. Keep it simple. Billboards. Mailers. 'Signs, signs, everywhere are signs'.

AI has been developed, with lack of knowledge of it's capabilities, needing huge data centers to run, which consume massive amount of water and power; which we, the people, are expected to pay for, raising bills substantially; knowing that after it is functioning, many will lose their jobs. Got it!

Until we get rid of Citizens United, I'm curious as to why each state has not implemented a bill to regulate 'dark' money. What would prohibit this? Particularly for blue states? Anyone?

Has any country actually banned Trump from entering due to his felonies? Asking for a friend.

This piece by Bill Gates on AI is well worth reading - he brings up the capabilities - both good and bad. Very much food for thought. Enough to slow down those AI centers. tinyurl.com/mrxwchnf

Trump inadvertently has caused some benefits: he has exposed the loopholes in the constitution. He has ensured that countries will move towards green energy after his Iran FU. We are now fully aware of the corruption in Government and lastly: finally, the country will become more progressive.

Always thought that Democrats would sweep in November, that Republicans would not win again in this century. But I'm concerned. There is no cohesiveness within the party. Clearly progressives are becoming more popular, yet career Dems are still in their middle of the road rut. How to fix this?

As a proud atheist, I do not give a damn what your religion is (other than think it's all superstitious nonsense), so that will not determine how I vote. You do, however, have to have empathy. intelligence, support the constitution, have a sense of humor and know the repercussions of your decisions

We can stop them and the Supreme Court -- with Class Action suits!!! Do it!

Two things Trump has accomplished: 1) Exposed exactly how corrupt politicians are capable of being. 2) Driven countries away from oil towards green energy. Because why would countries want to be held for ransom over oil, when the sun and wind can provide for free?

Do we know how many Democrat politicians are willing to get rid of Citizens United?

Message to MAGA- you likely have figured out that Trump is a disaster to this country. So please - vote Blue to get rid of him. You can use the time to rebuild your party if necessary and go back to voting Red. But he has reduced us to becoming a corrupt, 3rd world country. Help stop the rot!

Strange that Republicans are destroying the very country that actually made them billionaires. Go figure.

Anyone else see the report regarding protesters being sentenced to 50 years for protesting against ICE? One way to prevent freedom of speech. Yet the Capitol protesters got pardoned! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's coming to the end of the road for some Democrats. The time has come for social democracy. (I still don't know what an extreme leftist is, can anyone give examples?). It's then we can consider universal hc, child care, etc. Entrenched Democrats should step down, status quo is a no go now.

The thing about being crazy, which scares just about everyone, is the unpredictability.

It's no secret that Trump manipulates the stock market. SO SHUT THE DAMN THING DOWN UNTIL AFTER NOVEMBER. (like that would happen, but hey, I can dream)

Sudden thought. Do you think that people who are full of hate are capable of seeing beauty? Any type, landscapes, flowers, people, paintings etc. Anything that we see as beautiful.

It seems like the Republican's have gone back to their old stance on denying non existence funding to the undocumented, not pushing the SAVE Act as much today. Be interesting to see what they push in October.

I run my own business and only illness has made me close up. With one exception. The day that Trump was re-elected. I guess that was a form of illness anyway, I was certainly sick to my soul. Stunned! Depressed! Haven't recovered since.

Got kinda tired of all the 'we need to' and 'we have to', because let's be real, we are all hoping that the midterms will save us and there is no hero stepping up and leading us. So came up with an idea that I believe will work:

Anyone else think that the further away from oil we are, the better we all will be?

Months are flying by and November will be upon us. We need to seriously kick in and help the Democrats, since they don't have a great track record of getting their point across. How about a push for every residence to put up yard signs? I mean, really encourage them (or mail leaflets/billboards).

No mention of the automatic registering for the draft that will happen in December? So, will that also apply to trans and women?

After this debacle one thing is clear - countries will be pushing more for renewable energy. While this country will still bow down to the fossil fuel gods. Shot themselves in the foot, accomplished the exact opposite of what they wanted. Heading for 3rd world country status thanks to greed!

Because of Trump's actions, countries quickly will move more and more over to green energy. Why the hell would they want to risk wars behind fossil fuel? Actions have consequences, and Trump and his cohorts will lose. Trump shooting himself in the foot and big oil loses.

If Air Force One flies out of US air space, any chance he could be arrested by another country? What about offering immunity and a fee to Republican Senators if they resign today? Yes to reading the entire Epstein files for a filibuster I'm open to more suggestions...........feel free to chip in

Offer Republican Senators a one time cash payout and a promise of immunity, if they resign. Now. Something needs to be done!

Did I just read that SCOTUS is leaning towards limiting mail in ballots? I hope we go after the ones nominated by Trump, because their lying alone during their deposition is enough for impeachment, IMO.

Are we proud to be American right now? Asking for a friend.

'We are our own worst enemy' seems an appropriate saying, seeing as how we never did need outside enemies. We are self imploding.

If Barron was drafted, what are the chances he becomes a 4 star General immediately........................?

Why do I feel we are not getting all the news? I don't see a mention of the bomb dropped on a school, killing around 150 school children in Iran.

Did we really bomb a school in Iran?

Spineless Congress goes along with Israel leading Trump by the nose while he promotes taking down a regime to protect their protesters (the irony), along with ignoring the fact Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. Yet. I'm sure this will change Iran's mind about that.

If those greedy, extremely wealthy, business owners are so concerned about being taxed more in their state, that they would up and leave. I say don't let the door hit..........as we tax them a 'leaving tax' of, say, 20%!

If other countries have access to the Epstein files, then why don't they release them? For some reason, some MAGAs don't think that Trump was actually involved, but more of 'just a friend' of Epstein's. At least that's what it seems like to me, that Democrats have made this up.

There is a peaceful and relatively easy way to end this Republican government of tyranny. Pressure your Senator to retire. Today. Let's face it, the only way they win in the future is by cheating. Who are they more scared of? Trump or their voters?

How can ANY investigation generate millions of pages? How far do they go back? And how much were people paid off to hide those investigations?

We need a leader to start the national boycott. Because the alternative is becoming untenable. We need a charismatic leader capable of drawing us all into his world of saving the US. Democratic leaders should get their act together and quit waiting for midterms. Surely they have someone in mind?

Isn't the purpose of the military to protect this country, therefore, by definition, it's citizens?

Why aren't we boycotting and striking???

Here's how the military could stop Trump and his ilk: All they would have to do is surround Mar a Lago when he hosts his grifting parties, disconnect all power and shut down cell phone towers for a while. Not one shot fired! What do you think?

I will say it again. Senators, if you truly love your country, you would resign. Now. And yes, this is aimed primarily at the Republicans. But let's face it, it really is time for all career politicians to step down.

Thugs. All of them! Psychopaths and sadists running to enlist as ICE officers. They are loving this. Are we too large a country that we can't mobilize and protest, along with boycotting?
