I called for some better way to support an ally than giving weapons which are turned on innocent civilians. Hamas was/is wrong and to blame for what it started but this now is unsupportable. There has to be an alternative to starvation and targeting civilians or Israel is no different than Hamas
First of all, the Palestinians civilians are not Hamas, they are civilians. Secondly, our agreement is to help Israel defend itself from attack, not strike another country potentially expanding the killing of more innocent people. Third, the children are dying, not whining you jackass
I’m no politician but it seems there oughta be some way to support your allies in times of need without supplying weapons to be used on civilians. The population of Gaza is way past a humanitarian disaster and now Israel strikes a retirement home in Qatar? Enough is enough!
OBAMA: 3 TRUMP: 0 This is *really* get under Donald's thin-skin. Good. deadline.com/2025/09/pres...
I have not heard any #MSM news mention this. Even if we can get this #POS out of office, the #US will take a long time to recover.
Pause a moment for the irony of this situation; the GOP has been screaming Clinton, Obama, Biden and Harris are “COMING FOR YOUR GUNS” for 40yrs. It never happened because it wasn’t true. It is true though, that the GOP likely will be coming for your guns and much much more.
Seemingly right on the heels of our king of con calling the Epstein file a “democratic hoax”we sycophant Mike Johnson claiming djt not only sympathizes with these “poor victims” but that djt was an undercover informant for the fbi investigation into Epstein activities! 🤦🏻♂️You can’t make this shit up!
FUN FACT: If Kamala was POTUS right now, NONE of our trade or diplomatic relations would be up in smoke. NONE of our farms and agribusiness would be going belly up. NONE of the soft power we used to get great trade opportunities would have dried up. All of this was avoidable.
PM Carney, when we finally recover from this drunken hangover, I hope we can mend our broken relationship. Sincerely, America
So, I’m wondering who is going to get fired over this report? “The beatings will continue until morale improves “
Please take a moment to breathe and regroup MAGAts only compromise 30% of the voting public. We are where we are bc of indifference and division within our party Come back ready to speak up/out, contribute and vote in all local elections and midterms. That’s how we stop the madness You’re not alone
BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.
*darts
Agreed. However as you know, he was put in his place to be the court jester, the shield, the attention deflector. He’s unqualified, inexperienced and ill equipped for the job but since djt doesn’t care about that because some of the farts are headed to rfk, not the king of con
According to the NYTIMES, our king of con says he has the authority to summarily execute suspected drug smugglers. No trial No investigation No due process No constitutional speedbumps No shit
Watching the rfk hearing today made two things very clear to me. first; rfk , through his demeanor, behavior and answers, clearly believes he is the smartest man in the room. Secondly, its very clear to everyone watching that he is NOT
I’m going to respectfully ask that in the meantime you speak up and out , and contribute to local campaigns from now through the midterms. If we don’t get a handle on these elections, the next presidential election won’t matter even if it does happen
Omg! Yes x1000! There is absolutely nothing that would piss off the king of con more than President Biden receiving this award
While Americans are struggling with higher prices, the President is focused on enriching himself and his family. You look at this and have to ask yourself – is there any level of corruption so egregious that Republicans would call it out? Evidently not.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, voted for cuts to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but he’s also routed more than 800 of his constituents’ complaints to the agency — the most of any current lawmaker from either party, ProPublica found.
The leaders of Russia, China, North Korea just had a very public meeting to discuss their mutual concerns (USA). instead of advancing diplomacy, stopping wars or promoting peace, the king of con has united all our enemies. Well done! And we used our military to murder 11 civilians (no due process)
I wonder if the us navy killing a dozen Venezuelans without a trial would constitute the beginning of a war that the king of con claims would allow him to suspend the mid-term elections?
Admittedly Chicago had a rough weekend but nothing calling for national guard. Gov Pritzker has stated as much asking Pres trump to reinstate the cancelled federal funding for Chicago police instead of deploying his personal army. Btw murder rate down 32% there this year
It’s not an apples to apples comparison. The wealthiest have advantages the rest of don’t in terms of how they report, ie trusts, off shore accounts. if they paid a flat rate like everyone else, there would be no discussion about cutting Medicare, snap, universal healthcare etc, let alone deficit
55 of the Fortune 500 companies paid no federal income tax in 2020.Aug 2, 2023
Agreed. There is no good reason for profitable corporations or wealthy individuals to pay nothing in taxes, or less % than the average citizen.
So there’s this pilot program that Medicare is trying out in 4-5 states. The pilot program is using AI to determine pre-authorization for drugs and procedures. Sounds ok, right? Except that the company running the AI program is being paid by savings generated by claims denied.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
Sometimes people forget that wealthy people get there by using the infrastructure that we all pay for: roads, bridges, highways, trains, seaports and that’s just here in our country. Overseas our military helps stabilize areas so that businesses thrive. There’s more to it than your last statement
I think you’re missing the point. It’s getting under the skin of the king of con. That is justification enough, but it’s also a mocking illustration of how childishly our president behaves. No one has committed to a campaign, relax and enjoy
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
Let’s strip away the delusion. No divine mission. No moral compass. Just the facts—ugly, unvarnished, and long overdue.
I absolutely love the fact that some activists are using AI to “ unmask” the masked, unidentified personnel posing as ice/police ? agents. Bravo! Using science to beat these morons at their own game!
He's that STUPID‼️
Absolutely correct. Field the best slate of candidates possible, pick one during primary and all work towards getting them elected. The work starts with local elections and midterms. If we don’t win there, probably nothing else matters
If there’s any doubt left about the petty meanness of this vengeful administration, the king of con ended security detail on VP Harris, which was set to end 7/26. Even die-hard MAGAts should understand by now, that there are no limits to his petulant behavior.
Omg What in hell is wrong with us? How can we keep letting this happen?
It won’t matter who our candidate is if we don’t give them the tools to govern (congress). Local and statewide elections are where we can make significant changes. With no one declared, it’s far too soon fixate on presidential candidates.
I’m sick of hear all the party divisions on the next presidential election. Our sole focus should be on the local elections happening now and the midterms happening soon. We need to sweep the house and senate by voting as a block, up and down each election in order to stop this madness.
It’s ironic but ultimately it will mean nothing to him. As with all his many other failures, he will deny it or blame someone else and cast himself as a victim. Narcissists of his caliber never accept responsibility or blame
After a meandering 3hr televised cabinet meeting, djt concludes by asking that they each say something nice about him!?! Whatever was done to him as a child to produce such a damaged ego centric man-child must have been remarkable. Seriously beyond bizarre
Maybe I’m atypical but I’m constantly after my representatives. Most of the time they ignore me or reply by speaking down to me, or reply to a question they dreamed up not what I asked. I’m a democrat and my representatives are MAGA, I always believed they just don’t care to deal with me
If the king of con actually knew what “they” call him or what the rest of us think of him, I doubt he’d be joking
👍 Me too. It’s hard to talk about with friends and family but it makes it more real, easier for them to relate so I do it anyway. Stay strong, you’re not alone
And yet there are many people in your situation who still support maga! Continue to do what you’re doing: speak up, speak out, contribute and vote blue, every election top to bottom. Sweeping both houses in 2026 is our only way out of this madness
Jason, you’re absolutely right. While we wait and pray for that day, we on the left should be laser focused on all the local elections now through midterms. The king of con is a figure head but maga won’t disappear when he does. We must unite behind good candidates and sweep both houses.
He looks and acts like a man dying. It will happen, hopefully soon but remember his power was always theater. Even if his health fails, the architects of Project 2025 remain. Celebrate, but know the hand inside the puppet still moves and their plans haven’t changed. #Resist
If you truly believe that newsom is the greatest evil facing California or the USA or the world, you are either pandering or not paying attention. Either way, that makes you unfit for office , imho
My hope is that the party leadership has had their eyes opened enough over the last year that they are willing to embrace and support popular candidates regardless of their connections or donors
I think that says more about us than them. Let’s say you’re right; what then? What should our plan be? What’s an idea that stands a chance of beating these maga bastards and regaining control?
I disagree. Fixing problems begins with winning elections, starting right now. That requires all of us to get behind the best candidates we can field and project a unified party. Blue no matter who is the only winning strategy to beat maga madness
If you read the interview transcripts closely you see a very carefully crafted statement and odd word choices “I never saw the president…” djt wasn’t president at the time and she was asked what she knew not what she saw. Semantics or legalese?
When Maxwell says “ I never saw the president…” What does she really mean? Isn’t that a carefully crafted statement? For example, djt wasn’t a president at the time in question. Also she was asked what she knew, not what she saw. Seems like a legally advised statement designed to sidestep answering
Absolutely correct ! We on the left need to be laser focused on midterm elections and all the local elections. We need to be fielding good candidates, speaking up speaking out donating and voting blue top to bottom. Only then can we stop this madness
D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.
As I said many times, the party doesn’t find good candidates, good candidates find our party. Don’t give up in despair. Focus on the midterms and local elections. If we can’t win there, the next presidential election is a moot point if we even have one
Any time someone can poke at maga foibles it’s a good time but it’s far too early to focus on 2028. Let’s zero in on electing democrats in the midterms and local elections, possibly sweeping both houses of Congress. That’s how we take control of this madness right now
You’ve identified our problem; our democratic is so wide and diverse that it becomes difficult to find a candidate everyone likes. Add in intolerance and single issue voters and it’s near impossible. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. If we all get behind party candidate, we can regain control
Sorry Jeff. I’m not that guy
No idea what this means
No idea what this means. Doubtful anyone does.
I suppose you have the right to your opinion but you don’t have the right to mine. I just hope we all survive this madness
No. I don’t take orders from you
Just old, not quite as judgmental as you though
Sorry no. I’m just a guy who has been around long enough to understand the way the world works.
So it’s clear that your vocabulary allows you to insult and degrade anyone who doesn’t agree in lock step with you but.. you haven’t yet suggested anything but giving up to maga . Who is your replacement?
No. I don’t take direction from you
Since you obviously speak for the entire left, perhaps enlightening me to the better candidate, a winning candidate would educate me?
Your solution sounds a lot like gasoline
Perhaps I should have elaborated but you asked for a yes or no. The anti-maga is my personal litmus test for any candidate. However to be a candidate, the democrat party has other requirements. Having reached that level, I’ll impose my own litmus test.
Not one bit of this is true or has anything to do with regaining control
No
Anyone opposed to maga gets my vote. Not just at the top of ticket but every election, every time. Find us some better candidates, I’ll happily back them. Meanwhile, newsom may have just saved the House in 2026, and for that I’m grateful
You are describing a 50yr long game strategy. We don’t have that luxury. The house is burning down around us and we can choose to debate the replacement architecture or we can use whatever water we can find to stop the damage. Regaining control of Sen/WH/H& SCOTUS right now should be our focus
That’s not helpful. Or feasible. Or smart. As I see it the candidates we have currently are not the problem. They have no power because we didn’t support them enough to win one or both houses of Congress. We need to speak up, speak out, contribute and vote blue in every election, up and down ballot
trump’s net approval rating is -15%,down 1.0 points since last week. 40% approve, 55% disapprove, 4% not sure Read that again. Who are these people who are “not sure”? If it’s you, please get some help because y’all just ain’t right!
Idk about an army, but if you think we can stop the madness we’re all living in now by going forward divided, there’s not much to argue about. Whomever democrats nominate, we all need to vote blue, consolidate behind them on every single election, from the top of the ballot to bottom
Sen Malone Please use your influence to make sure that these AI farms coming into our area have some authentic plans to secure water and power BEFORE they start construction. The very last thing we need is skyrocketing costs of utilities due to the needs of these AI farms. Thanks
All the 4 states that sent National Guard units to DC have at least one city with far worse crime rates. Meanwhile, DC is dead quiet with restaurants reporting reservations are way below average. This is pretty much standard for anything that the king of con touches
Obama is supporting California’s mid-cycle redistricting effort as a “responsible approach” to Republicans drawing new maps in Texas.
I’m not in the guards and never was but I do understand that you need to do your job as commanded. It is NOT your duty to obey an unlawful, immoral unconstitutional or illegal order regardless who commands you. Use your head, search your heart, get advice before blindly following.
Who's the next Democrat that's gonna come out swinging? Who's gonna go on the attack? Who's gonna figure out a way to get it done regardless of the obstacles in place? If you can't see that there's an insatiable appetite for fighters and brawlers on the left, open your eyes.
I have a litmus test for every election for the rest of my life and it’s very simple: “do you support anything said, done or implied by trump or any of his heartless, brainless, grifting thugs?” If your answer is yes, my answer is NO.
Oh how great it would be if every Black player on Texas and Ohio State boycotted the game until Texas cancels the redistricting vote and Ohio pulls their National Guard from DC. Those players have so much power and they don’t even use it.
Newsom releases new ad 🔥
J.B. Pritzker would stand up to Putin Gavin Newsom would stand up to Putin. Kamala Harris would stand up to Putin. Gretchen Whitmer would stand up to Putin. Tim Walz would stand up to Putin. Josh Shapiro would stand up to Putin. Pete Buttigieg would stand up to Putin.
Of course they understand. They’re powerless in the face of the Republican majority in Congress. Want that to change? Speak up Speak out Contribute to democratic candidates Vote blue, every election, every single time
So, from what I’ve read, trump taco’s on the unconditional ceasefire demand, taco’s on the Russian tariff increases, agreed with Putin to give up Ukraine land, gave our mortal enemy access to the BEAST (security?) and allowed Putin to effectively let Putin run the whole show after cutting mtg in 1/2
@wgal8.bsky.social thanks for deciding to skip showing the nightly news AGAIN. Usually it’s golf or tennis, tonight it’s football. It gave me the chance to tune into your competition and guess what? Your competition broadcast world news! I guess you lose another viewer. Get used to that
Are we actually saying that the same people who basically came unglued at the request of masks and vax, are totally ok with domestic military action in our own cities? Where’s the outrage at this overreach?
Imagine a world where a US president would get pleasure hearing a bonafide enemy of our country disparage another US president. 🤦🏻♂️ So shameful
Remember the threat of sanctions if we didn’t have a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine? TACO!
Putin mentioned “business“ multiple times while setting stage for shifting blame for war on Ukraine! Nobel Peace prize winner trump
