The Capital One reports Trump’s accounts were closed for money laundering. Pretty much everyone’s reaction, regardless of political affiliation is, “same shit, different day”.
Alito seems to believe that his feelings about non citizens birthing children on U.S. soil supersedes what the Constitution says, and he is willing to use his position as a SCOTUS justice to try to force his opinion on the country. He should be impeached and removed from the bench.
Arguably, it might be dangerous to be a person who has done so much to damage the U.S. and the world, who starts and supports war in Iran and Ukraine, who is listed over 30,000 times in the Epstein files, and who regularly viciously attacks and denigrates non-supporters and political opponents.
If Trump hadn’t already destroyed the East Wing and began to build a monument to his excesses with his ridiculous ballroom, would a single soul have responded to the incident at the WHCD with the idea that we need to build a ginormous ballroom? Much less destroy a historical building for it?
The current administration causes me to be suspicious of the supposed assassination attempt at the WHCD. I’m also cynically thinking any leader who sows division and hatred as much as Trump has got to expect some violent pushback occasionally.
If Trump nukes Iran, we (the whole world) are screwed. Where do we go from there?!? Only bad places. For the love of God, Congress and his cabinet, do your damn jobs.
The current state of the U.S. is trash, but it makes me (and I hope others) MORE willing to deal with the negatives of obstruction and resistance. What do we have to lose? If we don’t resist, it’s just going to get worse anyway.
The only problem Putin may have with Trump executing his plan to destroy America is that Trump may be too successful, to the point of unifying us against this. The backlash could be epic.
One can hope.
I am watching television instead of going to sleep and I am being “treated” to commercials for Trump kids magazines, intended to “teach” them all about Trump. What fresh hell is this?!? The man is both making money off of his supporters AND indoctrinating the youth of America. 🤮
So. The war in Iran, are we hoping for a result more like Iraq, or maybe like Afghanistan? 🤔 🙄
Anyone else notice that when the U.S. attacks a country, overthrows their government, and then tries to put the country back together again, it seems to work a bit like dealing with Humpty-Dumpty?
Donald J. Trump is the face and voice of the United States. He represents every man, woman, and child, whether they voted for or support him in any way. Denial and loathing don’t change any of it.
You’d think the shame and despair every citizen should feel would incapacitate the whole country.
While the Epstein files absolutely need to be released, the violent actions of ICE on American streets against citizens and legal residents are more than a distraction. They are trying to destroy a nation and subjugate its people.
The DOH has no purview to be fighting corruption in Minnesota. There isn’t any need for it, but that is also NOT part of their departmental mission. Just like Jonathan Ross, who did not have any legal reason to be stalking, harassing, or shooting Renee Green. None. Not in his job description.
I struggle with the fact that the U.S. elected a bloated, rambling (almost incoherent) elderly man with a ridiculous blond combover, then allowed him to ruin our democracy. American exceptionalism?!? Exceptionally bad.
Poor Republicans! Yesterday they saw how their policies are killing them with the public. Trump wants them to use the nuclear option to end the shutdown. Most Americans want what the Dems are holding out for. Deny healthcare and end the filibuster? Good lord what will happen after the midterms?!!
Calling out the Republican legislators who are doing absolutely nothing to end the government shutdown other than blaming Democrats. They are useless to 99% of Americans and only serve themselves and billionaires.
We know that Trump likely had help making his disgusting poop video, and Trump probably okayed posting it. So multiple people in the administration are happy with that grotesque post from a U.S. president.
This administration needs to be removed and the whole government should be disinfected.
Democrats need to hold strong against Trump and the GOP. Their actions of using the government trying to force the Democrats to fold on their demands for ending the shutdown are punishing Americans. Next thing you know, Trump will have Noem holding a gun to a puppy’s head.
Someone should do some investigative journalism checking to see how many of the folks detained and deported by DHS are actually violent criminals. Many MAGAs justify the DHS crimes with the idea that this is useful and is ridding the U.S. of violent criminals. Is it even remotely true?
I am THEM.
I am one of the people Trump is speaking about when he vilifies “them”. Even if you believe in MAGA and feel that this administration is doing a good job, are you prepared to punish your fellow Americans citizens for the crime of holding different political beliefs?
Once again, I struggle to understand how anyone can watch Trump’s behavior and not be at disgusted by him. Any continuing support for this weak, stupid, and corrupt man is pathetic.
No negative thing is ever Trump’s fault, and one of the “highest” purposes of people on his team, directly or peripherally, is to serve as scapegoats. That is why so many of them have suffered losses of jobs, reputation, money, etc.
Non violent protest can work, if the media covers it. The tide turned for the Civil Rights movement when cops attacking peaceful protesters with police dogs and fire hoses made the evening news. It’s easy to be angry at Trump supporters. Many of them are deluded, but still know right from wrong.
I’ve seen media showing Trump voters unhappy with the detainment and deportation of immigrants who are their friends or whose work they need. Were some of these voters personally hurt by undocumented people before November, or did they just think mass deportation sounded good?
RFK Jr. was wrong when he said, “No healthy child should die from measles.”
No child should die from measles, or any other disease that a vaccine can protect them from getting. His attacks on vaccines endanger all children.
If a Trump supporter is willing to become a former supporter, I’ll take that. They can sell it to themselves however they want, I’m not fussy. Doesn’t mean I will support any anti abortion, racist, or oligarchy nonsense, but I will take their help on fumigating the White House.
The “deporting” or trafficking of young U.S. citizens with their immigrant parents may be happening with the desire to end up in court. Perhaps it is another avenue to attack birth right citizenship?
The drip, drip, drip erosion of rights, democracy, and freedom by the Trump regime is monstrous. I sometimes think, not my president, but also, not my country. When the government is nullifying due process, limiting freedom of choice, religion, and speech, what remains of the United States?
Trump may have gotten the El Salvadoran President Bukele to cooperate with Trump’s kidnappings and imprisonments in part by offering him people like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Abrego Garcia is Salvadoran and received U.S. asylum because it was deemed too dangerous for him to go back.
Among other things, the Trump tariffs will cause economic distress globally. This could easily lead to war, which may even be what this administration wants. China is poised to do well economically and militarily in another world war. What about the U.S.?
Ugh. I’m anxious, and oh so tired.
Trump is destroying the U.S.’s global relationships and has moved on to decimating the U.S.’s economic power. Honestly, why would anyone bother with him or United States anymore? Not really worth the trouble, is it?
“This is not right or left. It is right or wrong. This is not a partisan moment. It is a moral moment. Where do you stand?”
- Sen. Cory Booker, D-NJ
Exactly.
Americans are more and more willing to suffer hardships to improve the U.S., but I think most Americans feel the improvement needed is stopping Trump, Musk, and the GOP.
I have said many things in resistance to Trump and now his regime, but the rest of my life has operated more or less as always. This morning I am thinking that needs to end. Without action, there will soon be no point. I am not young, and I am torn between fighting and escaping.
