How difficult it has become to wake up feeling hopeful in the United States of America.

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

If there's anyone left out there who believes American society hasn't already collapsed, I present to you: the emergency department waiting room.

Attention Ohio Democrats, if you can't find someone to defeat this moron Mike Rulli, it's time to fold up the tent and get the hell out of politics.

Well, well, well. www.thedailybeast.com/kid-rocks-re...

Why don't MAGA and the Republicans want to make life better for Americans? Every policy is focused on attacking the quality of life in this country. What have they proposed that will improve the day to day experience of the citizenry?

And now Trump wants to take away Habeas Corpus. To even suggest such an action is vile. It's high time this anti-American administration is driven back into the darkest corners of our country's history. This has to stop now.

Give a hoot...

Who shaves Stephen Miller? He couldn't possibly look at himself in a mirror.

So having tried to destroy various sectors of government funding, Elon's heading back to the private sector where he'll enjoy the free corporate handouts of government funding? Do I have that right?

The grandson of immigrants and an evil hypocrite.

In case anyone is wondering what it's like to be a blue dot living in a deep red region, here's the early results of the reader poll in this morning's Wheeling, WV Intelligencer:

Rep Michael Rulli (R-OH) needs to be strongly challenged for reelection. This guy is ignoring his constituents and his district is beginning to feel the pain of the trump policies he supports. #ohiobluedots

After watching today's disastrous Oval Office presser, Americans should be shaken to our core. We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis and we have a president out of control. I'm not sure our country can survive this. These are dark days.

There should be no doubt left in anyone's mind how this idiot bankrupted four casinos.

I know another old fashioned term we're going to start using again under this administration: BREADLINE.

I can't believe this needs to be said (and repeated) but canceling collective bargaining for >700,000 federal workers is not a pro-labor action. Wake up rank and file! Trump is not the president many of you think he is!

Our government has spent $100,000 a person to hold migrants at the Gitmo concentration camp for less than six weeks. That's about $17,000/week for each migrant. They could have stayed at a Ritz-Carlton for that. What's this you say about government waste and efficiency, Elon?

Thank God Hegseth wasn't Def Sec for D-Day. #hegsethmustresign

The man sincerely believes he has the original Declaration of Independence hanging on his office wall and I'm supposed to believe he isn't getting played by Putin everyday? #dementiadon

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

😂

The ravings of a demented lunatic.

Can it even be called a 401k at this point? Feels like a 103f at best. #dowjones

Now more than ever! #StandwithUkraine

The stupidity is amazing.

Every morning since Nov 6, 2024 my first thought has been "How much deeper is the shit we're in?". There is no bottom.

So how will the 15 tons of eggs get to the US from Turkey? I'm scrambling to find out.

I miss the days when news of an impending major snowstorm filled me with joy instead of anxiety. #adulthoodsucks

Maybe we could just skip the "Year in Review" segments this time around. They just don't hit the same for 2024.

I can now say from experience that taking on a diy kitchen renovation between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a horrible idea.

Anyone else think this holiday season has a different vibe to it? Seems like just going thru the motions to me. Is it just that Trump has sucked the joy out of it or is there something more going on?

I'm increasing the odds to 60/40.

Maybe it's the wine/tryptophan mix talking, but I put the odds at 50/50 Trump orders the military to arrest all Democrats attending the inauguration the second he completes the oath. #thanksgivingthoughts

I don't know what to call posts on @bsky.app ? But I insist not posting for a period of time should be called cocooning.
