As a veteran I know I’m a patriot, and don’t need to fly a flag in front of my house to prove it. Same goes for my veteran father, brother, and son.

I'm demanding that Darline Graham cut her family's business ties to China and recuse herself from any Senate votes involving trade with China or policy toward the Chinese Military. South Carolinians deserve full disclosure.

When you see all these corrupt, ridiculously unqualified and incompetent Trump officials in action, realize that it is only possible because Republicans have the majority in the senate and voted to confirm them. The only way to stop it is to take that majority away.

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

This is sadistic personality disorder, writ large (it's also a government-sanctioned snuff film). And sadism never exists in isolation, it's always accompanied by psychopathy-sociopathy (APD) and narcissistic personality disorder. This must be stopped.

I’ve had a cough for two and a half weeks, so I don’t really want to hear about any pneumonic plague or Dr. Trump giving us a lecture about microbes and how strong they are. The fact that Trump said he’s concerned about the plague makes me think everything is okay.

Trump thinks we are all idiots, says if Republicans win the midterms he will pass a health care plan. Dude you have the Presidency, the Senate and the House why wait until after the election. Just more bullshit from the Liar in Chief. #RepublicanHealthCareCrisis Vote🗳️ them out‼️

Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

The Trump administration released new fuel economy standards today, relaxing regulatory requirements for automakers, and reverting to the dark ages compared to the rest of the civilized world. Under Trump, are we still actually part of that civilized world? I think not. apnews.com/article/trum...

Jayapal on McConnell: How about we have term limits on members of Congress and upper age limits on members of Congress? Why do we allow people to stay until they literally have to be carried off the floor, until they disappear with paid leave that they won’t grant for anyone else in the country?

Wow! Republican Majority Whip John Barasso was asked on Meet the Press if the banning of three news agencies from the White House was a violation of the First Amendment. His answer was no and he immediately launched into a complaint about Hunter Biden’s laptop!

Trump has not once called on Putin to stop bombing civilian population centers, which he targets daily. Witkoff & Kushner never said that to Putin. We cut off Patriots to Ukraine for air defense. But now he demands Ukraine stop bombing refineries while Russia murders civilians.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump could have made the ceremony with 9/11 first responders today about the many heroes who died attempting to rescue people and others who risked their lives & long term health. But instead, he created a fictitious event featuring himself, who did nothing, as the hero of 9/11.
