I’m not sure how to convey this succinctly to legacy media who continues to go to Manchin for his opinion. But let me try: No one, and I mean no one, gives a fuck what Joe Manchin thinks about anything.

This is true, unfortunately. Dems need to wake up and stand up for what’s right - not just what’s politically expedient or personally rewarding. Stop taking AIPAC money, for starters.

USA under Biden gave the genocide political, material and military support.

It is remarkable that MAGA and Dear Leader keep telling us Iran will never have a nuke. Did they say that about N. Korea? The more they keep bombing Iran, the more Iran will work to construct a nuclear defense - just like Trump’s buddy Kim. They really are that stupid.

It’s really the “SAVE Trump’s ass” Act. And they all know it. Nobody asks them why the same tech used to register men for the draft can’t be used for voter ID - without the poll taxes and missed days of work. Why? Could it be because they want to sweep conscription under the rug?

Trump’s whining and bitching about 2020 is based on the fact that he’s never beaten a man in an election. But the “investigation”, with its seizing of voter information is based on answering questions as to WHY the election interference that worked in 2016 and 2024 didn’t in 2020.

The thing the bozos in the White House don’t realize is that no matter how bad things get for the Iranian populace, the rulers will still be comfortable, at least as compared to the people. All they care about is staying in power, no matter how many children Trump’s bombs kill. Sort of like MAGA.

It’s being called the “SAVE Trump’s ass Act”. Pedo Bro knows what awaits when the Dems take the House. The “Save Trump’s ass Act” is about keeping the Senate. They might actually do the right thing after he’s impeached for the third time.

If it costs one cent or one minute it’s a poll tax. Anything that makes it more difficult for US citizens to vote is unAmerican. It is possible to issue voter IDs to all US citizens within those parameters. So why hasn’t THAT been mentioned?

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

As we await Senate action on the remaining spending bills, remember that Susan Collins could make a difference by stripping out DHS from the rest of the government funding bills. But she won't because she is just as MAGA as the rest of them.

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

As we await the release of Supreme Court opinions, I want to remind everyone just how much Democracy Docket is tracking: Active Voting Rights Cases: 169 Active Redistricting Cases: 47 Active Anti-Voting Cases: 91 Active Pro-Voting Cases: 74 Active DOJ Lawsuits: 27 Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

For one reason or another they want to bankrupt everyone who isn’t a billionaire.

Here's a conspiracy theory - the people who have fraudulently overextended themselves re: the AI bubble have asked Trump to tank the global economy to hide that the next big recession is going to be their fault.

the mainstream media has been covering donald trump as a political figure for 11 years now. they know he is full of shit. they push headlines like "trump rules out using military force to take greenland" even though they know the context of his rhetoric. it is a deliberate misinformation tactic.

She definitely has an ability to ignore realty.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

The is not a new deal - this is Trump surrendering. For now. They have always said that the US & NATO is free to do what it wants in Greenland from a military perspective. Trump said that wasn’t good enough because he needs the US to “own” it. So this is simply Trump backing down

Meanwhile Hannity trying to talk over him. Kudos for Jones’s busting this farce.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

This past weekend, I went back to Broadview for the first time since being federally indicted. I will put my body on the line no matter how many times it takes.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants. But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

Nobody needs a billion dollars. If you can’t get by on $999,999,999.99 you need priorities other than greed. The national debt, if it is ever to be paid, must be paid with taxes on assets and wealth. Those who benefit the most from tax avoidance must be the ones who pay for it.

Which city will hold the equivalent of the Nuremberg trials? We think it will have to be in a blue state in a northern city. Chicago might be a good place to start. Trials held down south after the people realize how much they got screwed by MAGA would be consumed by extra-judicial violence.

Have Hogsbreath, Pedo Bro and the “Department of War” been planning on issuing orders they know are illegal? All their complaining and threats of coercion make it seem like that was their plan all along - until they got busted.

To overturn the SC Citizens United decision the Court must be expanded. Doing that will take roughly the same number of votes in the Senate as passing a law against corporate campaign financing. There will need to be a national consensus to get that many like-minded Congressmen elected. No easy task
