DDay Pragmatist

Too many Americans don't understand representative democracy. Politics is more like a football team rivalry to them than it is about self rule. My dad made sure I recognized my responsibility to pay attention & to see our govt complies with our Constitution. Must be many parents didn't bother.

He was doing business in Russia during his first campaign - trying to build a hotel in Moscow while campaigning for President. I don't get how anybody is surprised.

Why is anybody surprised? He's always worked for Putin and everybody knew it in 2015. He's always been against Ukraine. He tried to extort Ukraine for votes, remember? I know I'm not a genius, but goddamn, Republicans seem so frickin' stupid to me. We're losing a war, and they're helping the enemy.

On a scale of 1 to lobotomized , how dumb would somebody have to be to buy crypto from trump as an investment?

This presidency is costing me a fortune.

I don't really understand why we are all tolerating him.

Almost two years after the Eaton Fire, I sat down with Altadena survivors, firefighters, and community and elected leaders to hear their stories and see the damage that's still here. Trump is still sitting on $30 billion these families are owed. I won't stop fighting until it's delivered.

The fact that US news outlets do not report every day that Trump is clearly mentally ill is an epic failure of American journalism.

The USA is losing a war and Trump invited Putin, who is openly aiding the other side develop supersonic cruise missiles, to the G-20 meeting, even though the rest of the world voted him out for his aggression in Ukraine. Trump isn't even trying to win his own war. His boss is on the other side.

I tried to switch from apple to android....I failed. I get my new Iphone today. I don't recommend trying to change over.

Our president is robbing us blind.

to whom it may concern: I protest the removal of skim milk from our grocery stores.

Why isn't everybody in the USA freaked right the fuck out about this war we are losing, all the money we are dumping directly from our treasury into the strait of Hormuz for no good reason except trump lives by social media conspiracy theory? How is everybody so calm?

NO media 1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended Wa Post buried it A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it Repost the march they buried

I don't know who to protest to, but nobody is selling skim milk anymore

I watched a documentary on nova last night that described Americans as split between people who think the wealthy should have power (trickle-down) & people who think as many as possible should be as prosperous as possible (trickle up), then went on to describe our history in that context.

I'm trying so hard to hang in there, but I can hardly watch the news. I'm so heartbroken and infuriated by maga. It makes me feel so ashamed that our generation let trump happen, let our representatives stop representing us and our court willfully misinterpret our constitution. We are meek.

The President is draining our treasury,

hpw is congress authorizing trillions of dollars to blow in Iran without holding a vote and declaring war? It's straight up taxation without representation.

Shouldn't it really bother all of us, maga and democrat and independent, that we spend so much on our military, yet we can't even defeat Iran? We supposedly spend 8 times more on our military than any other nation...and they're depleting our munitions easily. who is getting all that money?

I seriously hope all the harm he has done to the USA passed painfully through this fucker's mind when he died (or dies).

What is it with women who don't report a rape until the accused becomes a candidate for office? It seems wrong to me.

We're celebrating the dictatorship with chicken tenders and watermelon today, but we would have celebrated the same exact way for a weekend. There's no joy in my favorite holiday. I'm just glad I got to live most of my life before the USA fell.

Haitians, Syrians,....my place is very rural and nondescript. There's one RV electrical outlet. I follow our Constitution, whether the president does or not. What you are experiencing is not the USA. It's the morally crumbled remains of the former USA, which trump demolished. I'm willing to help.

In the middle of the night… www.c-span.org/congress/?ch...

It sure looks like a no win situation for Trump in Iran, so I have an idea for him that he hasn't thought of yet. He could turn over Netanyahu to Iran in exchange for opening the strait. It's a win-win. The win because they get Netanyahu and we win because they get Netanyahu.

This got 3.4k likes on X. I's ask your thoughts, but I can pretty much imagine.

my free idea to Democratic legislators: subscription tax. the entity requiring a customer to subscribe in order to use a service pays a tax on every payment made by the subscriber. There's no reason we have to subscribe to every service to use it once or twice a month. We should pay as we go.

Our president is pretending to be insane to avoid future prosecution.

I need this whole Trump administration to take a drug and alcohol test daily.

Should we win the mid-terms, I urge the Democratic Party to sidestep the SCOTUS ruling : immunity while in office. NO offense to the SCOTUS Institution (it's jiggered), but we can read the Constitution... & it's the law we should follow and enforce. Every American knows no man is above the law.

He wants to build this, but I know I'm not supposed to compare him to Hitler...

Mark Meadows contributed greatly to the attempted overthrow of our 2020 election, yet he has disappeared into the maga crime and christianity network unscathed. We'll have to choose a few to hold accountable, because we can't prosecute all of maga. Meadows and Rubio deserve special attention.

I keep looking at the living conditions in Russia right now as we follow in Putin's footsteps or even worse.

Trump knows he's toast and he's trying to take the entire planet down with him.

Christianity is the biggest, most profitable scam in America.

Wondering how the Epstein murder investigation is going......

I spoke with a marine expert last night who monitors ships for this war and they found that there are several boats in several different sections of the ocean moving unusually slow over areas of important cables. They said this is a sign of them dragging their anchor to destroy the cables.🧵

I'm a long time apple person, just changed to Android..I was just starting to adjust, then I did a normal software update....Holy cow, it loaded a shit-ton of apps I don't want onto my phone. Do I have to go thru this every time I update?

We can't afford both ICE and war. ICE should be sent to fight the war. since they're way overpaid anyway.

The sooner the Epstein files are released, the sooner he’ll be out of office. If I never hear his name again it can’t be soon enough. Can. Not. Wait.

Everyone who appears in the Epstein files after 2008 is a co-conspirator until they can prove otherwise.

We are destroying desalination plants that millions of people rely on for water. I am ashamed to my core for my nation's behavior.

Not a single lawbreaking ICE agent has been arrested these past 14 months. Not a single state has had the balls or the morality to do so. The rule of law is dead in the USA and replaced by the rule of terrorism. I grieve for us all.

Is the world really going to have to suffer WW3 because the USA can’t impeach a president?

You must be completely miserable if you are still pretending to admire trump. I'm finding some small comfort knowing I was right all along and some of my old friends and relatives who cut me out of their lives are now realizing they threw a true friend away for a liar.
