I’m a 79 year old who is appalled at what is going on in our country. I will speak out until I am too old to see the letters on my phone or too addle-brained whichever comes first.

Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
BWAHAHAHA!!
He’s not traveling to NJ like they had announced. Not even to Florida. Sure does seem like someone is staying awfully close to Walter Reed, doesn’t it?
He looks like hell.
Yes!Yes!Yes!!!!
I am 80. In my first ten years I had whooping cough(as an infant and almost died), measles 3 times ( different strains), mumps, and chicken pox. I didn’t get diphtheria because I was vaccinated and the polio vaccine came out when I was in elementary school. WHT THE HELL DO PEOPLE WANT TO GO BACK?
An endless nightmare that gets worse every day. We are witnessing the destruction of this country and opening us up for even greater destruction by other countries who are celebrating our fall. Nero fiddling while Rome burned in real time.
Trump and his greedhead cronies may get a big surprise in spite of their efforts to rig the 2026 election. They could find themselves swamped by a blue wave. Americans are wising up to the fact that Trump is turning the American dream into a nightmare.
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
It’s so comforting to know our President has his priorities straight. 🙄🙄
Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
In 7 months, Trump has taken the world's most powerful nation and turned it into a train wreck, inviting both our allies and our adversaries to reshape the world based on our irrelevance.
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Did you know in 1890 manufacturing employees worked on average 100 hours a week? It would be decades before the eight-hour workday became real. It took labor activists and labor unions to turn the cry for change into policy and practice. www.americaamerica.news/p/a-labor-da...
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
There you have it. The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (www.policyuncertainty.com) just hit an all-time high, surpassing its previous high from May 2020 - the teeth of the #COVID pandemic. Consequences: worse investment climate, higher risk premia, (likely) higher interest rates...
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
We really only hate Trump.
He is SUCH a cheap, disgusting human being.
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
Hi. I’m the executive director of the organization that had the honor of hosting the FEMA Katrina Declaration and I can confirm this is a lie. NICE TRY, KRISTI! @standupforscience.bsky.social @atrupar.com
I have thought so since yhe two episodes I watched of The Apprentice. A man trying to act like a smart business tycoon but who came across as not terribly bright. He has only confirmed by feelings during his terms as President.

Trump isn’t just axing the Constitution. He’s axing something we all love. Watch. https://youtu.be/HS7IJaB5NDc?feature=shared
Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
There is no disgrace to admitting thoughts and prayers are meaningless without taking action. Jesus also said “Go into your closets when you pray” because He knew prayer is a private action and public praying is more about the attention than the intention.
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.

“Since Mr Trump singled out India with an unexpectedly draconian double dose of tariffs earlier this month, he has reportedly phoned the Indian prime minister on four occasions to seek a compromise. Each time, the Indian leader refused to pick up.” (The Telegraph)
Su: The BLS collects statistical information — things like the nation’s inflation rate, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, which industries are growing, and which are contracting. And on every one of those fronts, Trump is failing.
NOW he is worried about getting to heaven?? 79 years of petty revenge, screwing around, fraud, rape, adultery, gluttony, and NOW he’s thinking about the afterlife?? BWAHAHAHA!!!!
FAAFO
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
Just think!! They can get jobs at the famous Four Seasons Landscaping when the leave the service! Talk about a great internship!! WOW!
THIS from the guy who has used most of his time in office watching TV and playing golf.
I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?
China plans to ADD 358 gigawatts of solar this year. In the first half of year it installed 212 GW, while the US installed 12 GW (that's not a typo). US solar cumulatively is now at 251 GW while China is at 800 GW, which is more than half of US electricity generation capacity from ALL sources.

Ashli Babbitt was a Q-pilled lunatic who got killed trying to murder law enforcement based on the lie of a con man. But of course this administration gave her family money and is holding a ceremony honoring her because it has nothing to do with law or what's right -- it's solely about loyalty.

Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
Scared yet?
He’s on another QAnon posting spree tonight.
Actually the Rose Garden looks like shit. Just a big, shadeless patio with no redeeming landscaping features. Yuk.
I’m sure he’ll be fine with ivermectin and bleach. You know - all the wonderful new medicine we have available now.
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
Amen! 😇😇

Photo was taken of miners at end of shift during Gilded Age before they were unionized Somewhere were people at the top of the company who felt there was nothing wrong with this picture Labor Day remember the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give working class basic rights
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
And claim he is “ordained by God to do His Work”. 🙄🙄
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Trans people never stole the entire Social Security database and put every American at risk by uploading their personal information to an unsecure server. But Trump and Elon Musk sure did.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
🤣🤣🤣
I feel the same way; heartbroken, embarrassed, angry. ARE WE GREAT YET?
Every time I see masked ICE officers ripping a parent from their child, I think: “Americans chose this; they knew this would happen. A lot of people were happy at the thought.” And I feel that I do not at all understand the country I am in and the world around me.
Our current president uses the “guy economy” and that sure isn’t working out so well. Any type of contract that is essentially a quid pro quo instead of a straight-out agreement should make anyone a bit leery. There is too much room for abuse in my estimation.
Now this is the attitude ALL district attorneys need to take when it comes to dealing with Trump.
Federal agents detained two firefighters in Washington state... ...while the firefighters were in the middle of fighting one of the largest wildfires in the country. Under Trump’s regime, cruelty takes precedence over everything else.
When Trump puts incompetent people in charge you get incompetence.
By all accounts the Trump Administration is going to be trying to sue to stop California and other blue states from redistricting while actively encouraging red states to do so. This has turned into a full-on cold civil war in America. That is not good.
Dear Puritanical Pixie: Every country on Earth struggles with the human heart. And mental health. But none, however, has mass shooting like the United States. It's the guns, you irresponsible bearer of false witness. Sincerely, Jesus
Never any need to apologize for speaking out for the truth. I am sure you must feel like the voice crying in the wilderness.
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor 😳

Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Amen.
A great point, and I fear we know why: they don't anticipate there will be elections going forward—or if there are, their outcome will be structurally predetermined. This administration doesn't appear to have any expectation that it will ever be hamstrung or out of power. Not in 2026, not in 2028.
The new acting head of the CDC is not a doctor, has no public health experience, and is connected to and sponsored by Peter Thiel. What could go wrong!
