Republicans are taking food assistance away from seniors, disabled people, single mothers, and low-income families—including children. At the same time, they’re cutting taxes that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy, driving up the national debt and harming vulnerable communities.
This is so frightening. Being stirred up by the hard right... we all know who they are.
I heard that :)
He is SOOOO stupid.
The flyover to drown out the ladies voices was an obvious admission of guilt, but also showed an immaturity level never seen until THIS person inserted himself in the presidency.
As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

Any orange ones?
So, Bone Spurs, killing all these people today hasn't overshadowed the Epstein files any more that you disappearing and pretending to be dead...

Noit, I think, for the first time.
i see today's distraction from kitchen table issues is the president ordering murder
Has he had botox?
🚨Regarding the #Pentagon and #SpaceForce announcements: Reps @rokhanna.bsky.social (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) are holding a press conference tomorrow, 9/3, 10:30am, with ten victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking. Link to watch live: youtube.com/live/q6fUosr... 🗣️ Release the Epstein files
Surely by now no one ever believes a single word that comes out of the Nobleman's lying lips. He's a bigger liar than Sarwar.
I knew it would be Scotland's fault... or at least the fault of the SNP, because if Labour ever got it's grifting mitts on Scotland I'm sure everything would suddenly be peaches and cream, like it is in Wales and England. 😀
Yes, Dennis. I've seen that article and I agree. It was always an excuse for not doing all the things they bought the election on. Read my lips 'no austerity under Labour'... except we'll cut everything that will help poorer people and do nothing to hurt the rich.

I thought the black hole the Tories left after 14 years was £20 billion. How has she managed to double it in a year.
Distraction from the Epstein women's press conference today?

Did Bone Spurs the rapist not get an invitation?
The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

How much does a seat in the Lords cost these days?
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
So a blatant extrajudicial killing then. No arrests, no trials, no convictions, no evidence presented or tested, not being fired upon or attacking or threatening anyone else. In waters in which the US does not even have jurisdiction. A patently criminal act by the US.

All sounds a bit Felon Bone Spurs and ICE to me. Heil!

Why doesn't he just deal with the refugees in Calais, as the French proposed?
What an idiot !
Still, I suppose, if people are talking about how that broke international law, they might not pay too much attention to the women who will be talking about Epstein today. You start by breaking your own laws, then, when that becomes the norm, you move on to breaking international law.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Oh what absolute rubbish. It's a dark day for Democracy when the candidate you didn't want to win actually wins is what she is saying. It's hilarious really & shows the establishment isn't happy about @zackpolanski.bsky.social win as Green Party Leader. Let's be clear that's a good thing!
The entire world has jumped the shark at this point
WOW indeed.
Law? What's law, says Felon Bon Spurs!

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
And I share it!
In the meantime, the tourist industry is in a mess, farming is in trouble, bothe the Olympics and World cup are questioning holding matches in the USA for fear that their players or fans may be deported by ICE to some prison in El Salvador. In England Farage is pushing forward. THAT scares me.
I really can't see how the left, presumably Obama, Starmer, Swinney, Macron, Frostadóttir, can ruin the world. They just try to make sure that people are fed and warm. I've visited the Nordic countries where by and large people are happy, crime is low, and no one is really poor.
Do they know what Marxists are? Trump talks about the radical lunatic left and means people like Obama. Well, a lot of his voters will die for want of medicines so that the billionaires can get more money they really don't need. Like I say, I only care in general terms, but I feel for the poor kids.
Fixing it by removing rights, ignoring the constitution, taking healthcare from people including veterans, putting masked thugs on the street and lastly making America, the leader of the West, a figure of fun. He has also not released the Epstein files although he said he would.
Looks like Brazil is a bit less corrupt than the USA.
Well, he's wrecking the world. I don't usually wish people dead, but him, Putin, Netanyahu, Kim and a few others being gone would make for a better, safer world for our kids to grow up in.

Did trump send in undercover ICE thugs to shoot a lot of people to bring the crime rate up?
Nah, I don't care about hating the smelly fat criminal. I hate him because he is ghastly and I wish him the worst because he is wrecking the world order, but I don't live in the US so I'm not worried about ICE or massive prices or no health care. Maybe tomorrow we'll find out he's gone to hell.
Did she seriously not know how she got the job?
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
The Trump family’s corruption is blatant. Any other president would face wall-to-wall coverage and impeachment by now. Trump is given a free pass that no other president would receive.
And they want people to travel there on holiday, or to the Olympics or World Cup? Ha ha ha ha ha. Mad.
Red Georgia: complete “Police State” like the old Soviet Union, it’s going to get worse and it’ll take decades to reverse when Democracy is restored
Why don't they ditch the ridiculous "uniform" nonsense?
Does that mean it's still a world power... what with all the penguins and whales?
Hope he's got a scrap merchant coming in to take away all the golden tat.
Small bone... Well, if the cap fits...
This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old
I wonder if Starmer will start using orange make up.
Maybe he worships him because he could turn water into alcohol.
I’m sure Dame Bailie of the steak pie will be all over this with praise for the Scottish government 🤣

A quarter of England state secondary schools have no dedicated physics teacher. Shortages in other subjects too Govts don't plan long-term, quick to cut real wages of public sector workers. University fees and student debt are a disincentive. Migrant labour can't solve all systemic failures,
An 83-year-old relative sent this to me today and said he’s so inspired by Starbucks workers and their fight for a contract that he sent this to his friends and asked them to share it with everyone they know. 🥹
Where the eye-liner man?
And you know I don't care about this, how? I also care about kids being shot for fun in Gaza, and kids in rich countries going hungry. I care about animals too.
Seems like a real weirdo to me. Apparently god comes to him in the night when he's in bed and talks to him. Poor god, I say
Wonder what's buried under his hideous concrete.
Get over kids being used for sex? Nope. I'm never gonna get over that.
I wonder if that creepy little piece of garbage is on the lists too.
Unfathomably cruel is a Trump thing. I seriously can't think of anything lower than Trump. Even the thought of him makes my stomach turn. Netanyahu, Putin and Kim are his nearest rivals for the most repugnant thing on Earth.
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Where are all the jobs? I heard unemployment was up...

Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Keep Doing That... 😊 #bluesky #animals #nature
Unfortunately We Americans have witnessed on live TV, the laughter for an Incompetent, Criminal Leader of the United States. Just Remember when they are Laughing at Trump, they are Telling us Something about our Choice for a President. The CURE, Vote in All Elections & Vote Republicans OUT🙏🙏👏👏👍👊🗳️🗳️🇺🇸😎
