Beyond me why working-class folks thought a New York con man who never did a lick of real work and inherited *hundreds of millions of dollars* from his criminal daddy would be on their side.

A huge drain on our productivity, as immigrants tend to work far harder than native born Americans. Thanks Trump, you fetid manure pile.

Some of them could somewhat forgive us for Trump 1. Trump 2 proved that we are not worthy of friendship or respect.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Probably not a very smart thing to do in today's climate, but what kind of lunatic shoots someone because they played a harmless prank? This country is really around the bend, I'm afraid. apnews.com/article/door...

I don't know what is normal, but this is definitely not normal for Trump. Of course, if he goes, we get the second tier and lunatic, Vance. A candidate being hidden from the press is always concerning. We should have learned this lesson with Biden. And no, folks, I don't want to debate it.

We should not be negotiating with Russia. We should be threatening the murderous Putin with superior weapons.
Ned Wilcox (@nedwilcox.bsky.social) reply parent
Of course not. Working folks are suckers and losers, like our soldiers, according to Trump. Should have inherited hundreds of millions from their daddy, like he did, or found a way to avoid serving if called.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Indeed. Texas is becoming a leader in wind power, despite their right wing politics and oil company money. That's good. But it's far too late. We could stop adding CO2 to the atmosphere today, and we will still be facing radical climate change and forced mass migrations. Buckle up.

This is an old trick. Keep the leader out of public view for a few days, then several days, every now and then, fueling speculation that they have health problems or have died. This creates a boy-who-cried-wolf assumption when it actually happens, giving conspirators more time to consolidate power.
