Can’t agree with you more. The Democratic Party is far from perfect at the moment, but it’s critically important that everyone vote for democratic house and senate candidates that are committed to redress and reform!

I love that I can hear the righteous indignation in Sam’s voice🔥✊🏼

Absolutely. And then we have to figure out how to safeguard our government so this bullshit never happens again.

SWING TO THE LEFT...WAY TO THE LEFT...WAY TO THOSE "MAMDANI COMMIES" SUPPORTING DECENT WORKING AMERICANS. CHECK OUT WHAT'S HAPPIN' IN NEW YORK CITY. AND TO THOSE RACIST, MISOGYNIST, SWEATY, WIFE BEATER WEARING, SWEATY, STINKING, CHEAP BEER SWILLING, TRAILER PARK TRASH, SITTING IN A DIRTY VINYL LOUNGER, YOU AIN'T A GONNA BE GETTING NO MAR A LARGO INVITE FOR YOUR VOTE, DUMB (WITH A B) ASS.

I wish. But it won't happen. The best that can happen is that moderate and a few corporate democrats win the House, and they continue as they have the last 40 years, leaning to the right. :( And setting us up for another maga coup.

As an independent progressive, I doubt this country will ever have what every other developed countries have for their citizens: universal health care. Nor will they ever ratify the ERA (50 years old or more by now). And I doubt they'll even give women and girls back their bodily autonomy, though men have had this forever. AND the fact that the minimum wage hasn't been raised in so long...surely surely the democrats could have gotten the workers more money...but of course, they couldn't. :( And MAGAs want to own you, not pay you more. lol

You know what, lady, we need to hobble your your weak ass to a copy of Snyders On Tyranny. It's short and written in simple language, so maybe it won't overly tax you. First lesson, do not bend the knee in advance...or indeed ever. If you have nothing but submission and wrong information and boo hoo hoo, woe is me and everyone else to offer, pull up your big girl pants and get into the fight. YOU are the problem. YOU are also the solution as we ALL are.

Republicans are still going along with whatever Dementia Don says and does because they know that he’ll rig the midterms just like the 2024 elections

US Government is paying for Trump’s “Love Me” commercials. Why?

I hate the MFer!

Thanks, Sam, for putting the words in my mouth. I've been doing things this weekend that I normally put off, cleaning the bathroom, trimming bushes all to drive this insanity out of my mind.

Good. Spend time outside where nature is healing, not staring at screens hoping for a miracle.

Why did this article start ‘late Mitch McConnell’?

Sharon C's avatar

Have you seen what McConnell’s aides are wheeling onto the Senate floor? He looks like the lights are on, but nobody’s home.

I SO HOPE HE HAS ENOUGH BRAIN CELLS LEFT TO KNOW HE'S BEING CANNIBALIZED ALIVE BY HIS BELOVED REPUBLICON PARTY. HERE'S HOPING HE DIES IN SCREAMING AGONY AND CONFUSION. ARHHHHHHHHHH!.

I think he approves. The way he did business, he'd feel it was appropriate.

Leslie Spotz's avatar

I think it was meant as strong sarcasm, though one could wish another reality.

He’s practically brain dead 💀

He is a vampire. He is unalive.

I watched Jane Fonda’s documentary “Gaslit” last night. One thing that struck me- a fellow remarked that the US is prolonging the UKR war while we sign long term LNG contracts w the EU. And that ALL of our fracked (LNG) gas is exported. I am guessing that Trump wants to steal Iran’s clients also. So trust no politician w energy interest.

The documentary is heartbreaking. BTW. Our methane output is unbelievable.

Barbara Lee's avatar

Excellent article. He is a clear and present danger to America 🇺🇸

YES. Vote BLUE and hold them accountable. Keeping up the engagement will help!

I couldn't agree more.

I feel as if I was in a stupor.

I wasn't getting the usual emails.

My life felt empty somehow.

I feel refilled now after seeing this post!

Am I the only one?

Did others experience this?

Ugh🤦‍♂️

Perfectly stated👏

Trump has no desire to end his war. His aim is to own the entire oil market so he can charge whatever he wants to for petroleum products. He doesn’t want the strait of hormuz to reopen. He doesn’t want any of the oil producing countries to be able to ship their oil. Check on our incompetent ambassador to Greece who said Trump is responsible for the economic collapse of Formosa and he can do the same to Greece if he wishes. She made this statement at a dinner when she had been drinking and not behaving in our best interests.

trump has turned the social norms of usa into a slugfest of selfishness and immorality....and magat repugnicans will even attack other christians and claim they are satanists...because the gospels of christ do not suit the evil repugnican magat narrative.

on nov 4 start counting the number of people who voted trump magat rapepugnican and we will clearly see how deep the evil and immorality has gone......shame on them all....their support of corruption and criminality of the completely immoral epstein billionaire class can be used to mock their so-called 'moral compass', and prisons for pedophiles, rapists, and drug dealers should all be located in the middle of each rapepugnican county....
