And I'll say it again: ‪If we had believed children and women, none of this would be happening. He'd be in jail, and she'd be President.

So… how did his first public appearance outside the HoC go? We don’t know because no one was allowed to ask. 🤣🤣 #cdnpoli

Looks like no vote on opening the House. Trump is in his office, working hard on a solution. ha ha. Just kidding. He's in Florida, playing golf.

With the Rep's bill to open House, 20million people would see health care premiums double, on average. 15million would lose care. 50,000 would die every year. All so top 1% get tax breaks. The health care system will be devastated. (Watch Bernie Sanders latest YouTube video.)

As travel season approaches, flights are delayed or cancelled, and flying becomes more dangerous. Air traffic controllers and TSA agents are forced to work, but are not being paid, while ICE is well paid to destroy lives. This is not hyperbole. It is fact.

Democrats want to protect affordable health care, and they won’t, and shouldn’t, fight for less. Republicans won’t even discuss it.

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

Socialism can be described as "government by and for the people". Sound familiar?

About 1.4 million federal workers are furloughed or unpaid, but Trump can give his buddies in Argentina $40,000,000,000. Huh?

To save our dear leader the trouble, let's just put this out there: Everything, from disease to war to bad weather to high prices to sore throats, EVERYTHING is Mayor Mamdani's fault! Clear?

This morning, I said Vance stated that the age of consent should be lowered. Turns out that was wrong. My mistake. I should have looked into it further. However, I do stand by the irrefutable evidence that he is a slimy evil asshole.

This is worth repeating: If we had believed children and women, none of this would be happening. He'd be in jail, and she'd be President.

It will be so nice to see Mamdani use the power of NYC law enforcement to curb the lawlessness of ICE. It should be a great example for other cities.

President Biden will now get a well deserved break. For the next while, Republicans will blame Mamdani for every bad thing that happens.

Some democrats are now bargaining with repub's to open the House, based solely on trusting trump to accept an extension of Obamacare. "trusting trump". Now there are two words that do not belong together. Ever.

Man @gavinnewsom’s team doesn’t mess around

Pee Pee Poilievre is a politician. Not a good one, and no plan B. PM Mark Carney is a compassionate, insightful and intelligent Economist and Diplomat first, and a politician second. Mr. Carney is exactly what Canada needs right now.

Hey ultra rich, if you cut your wealth to just a couple of billion, things will still work out. You might have to start buying store brand cheese, but you'll be fine.

Cutting wealth tax only supports the greed. Tax the fucking rich!

Trickle down economics does NOT work. Cutting taxes to corporations and wealthy individuals won't ultimately benefit the rest of us. It's been proven over and over. Even a slight increase in wealth taxes could support all of us.

Mark Carney is a master at controlling the tempo of diplomacy. He clearly understands that the risk of short term criticism is well worth the long term win. He showed this with his apology to Trump. As I said before, he took one for the team, and Canada wins.

Any argument against taxing the rich does NOT hold up. If we can't EAT the rich, at least TAX the bastards! Why are so many of us who can afford almost nothing, defending those who can afford almost anything?

The news is depressing, tiring, hurtful, but we have to stay informed!

A politician can "capitulate" when necessary but fight back 1,000 times, and still be labeled unfairly. Carney apologized to Trump when he realized it would cost nothing but benefit greatly, because he is dealing with a sensitive idiot. He took one for the team.

Carney smiles. Poilievre sneers. Carney communicates. Poilievre lies. Carney builds. Poilievre destroys. Carney respects. Poilievre scorns. Truth!

Republicans don't understand that hoarding wealth will not sustain their families in coming generations. What WILL work is building fair and viable communities. There really ARE enough resources to keep everyone very comfortable. Republicans: Don't you have children?

Still the richest country in the world. Many people are working hard, and doing everything right, but going hungry. Other people are hogging resources, and taking everything for themselves. An obvious solution: Stop funding the assholes!

In the Senate, and the House, if it ever reopens, the Dems should NEVER vote with the republicans and NEVER accept funding from AIPAC for ANY amount. Ever!

Just watched a 60 Minutes Australia interview with the late Virginia Giuffre. Knowing what happened to her, it's one of the saddest and most profound videos I've ever watched. Why did this happen!

The US debt has reached $38,000,000,000,000 while Trump continues to throw money at his friends, the billionaires. Trouble is, for us, that's a meaningless number. We simply can't relate. We understand $38,000 and perhaps $380,000. But $38,000,000,000,000? Nope.

I admit to being afraid, but I'm trying hard to use the fear as a motivator and not a debilitator. I don't always succeed.

Forbes estimates Thump's worth at over $5Billion, while single mothers line up at food banks. Make sense?

It's US vs. THEM, and it's never been more obvious.

On at least one of his Asian stops, demented donnie wandered off on his own, unaware of protocol and responsibilities. Local dignitaries were aghast and embarrassed. He is supposed to be a top example of American strength and leadership. Instead, he's an international joke.

Global relationships are crumbling, economies are being destroyed, and the planet is dying. What the fuck are we waiting for?

So the House is locked out, but Trump is operating, unfettered, with no real restrictions and no critical media. There is no motivation for the Cons to reopen, and they are in charge. This could now be a permanent fixture of the new regime.

Watch him "dance" in front of foreign dignitaries and public on his trip through Asia. How can ANYBODY support this thing? What a fucking embarrassment.

Trump is a weak, vengeful bully with a very powerful office. He has no plan, no direction and very limited mental capacity.

The question now: Will Congress EVER be brought back?

It's being reported that President Obama turned tennis courts into basketball courts, costing many millions of dollars. The truth is, he had portable hoops rolled in at almost no cost, and the area is still used as tennis courts. Maga lies!

Contrary to what you were told, it's not wrong to end a sentence with a preposition. That myth started when Old English was being translated from Latin, and ending a sentence with a preposition didn't work. So, it's not wrong. Example: is there a hole we can toss Vance into?

If any Canadian has a twisted desire to see yet another example of a truly vile politician, and fetid human being, look at Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta. So many horrible people walk among us, free and unfettered.

The Democrats still seem to be the best option to lead the resistance. If they get rid of Schumer, Booker, Jeffries and a few more at the top, they could be a powerful force. There should be NO support from AIPAC and NO votes for republican bills.

Quick question for Republicans: Don't some of you have children?

I am Canadian! I live in a country that Trump hates. Of course all Americans live in a country that Trump hates too.

Apparently, anonymous benefactors are donating to the military during the government shutdown. On the surface this may seem fine, except it means the military is becoming a private force, controlled by individual and/or corporate donors.

It will be interesting to see how the republicans justify honoring the fallen heroes of war, on November 11. Every one of those brave men and women was Antifa. They proved it with their service and their sacrifice. They suffered and died fighting fascism.
