I'm old enough to remember jobs leaving the country hand over fist during the Bush administration. I suggested that to stop this, these companies should be fined in the amount the nation lost for every job lost, and the money should be used to support the working class.

The worse things get, the more I think about how Merrick Garland might be the greatest failure in American history. The coward who rolled out the red carpet for the second chapter of American fascism. What a disgrace.

Projecting their deviant fantasies onto others.

Bernie wants us to run for office. I can't so it's up to you... act.berniesanders.com/signup/run-f...

Trump is not actually stupid. He portrays himself the way he does because he's a puppet, and that's what the puppet masters want. It's also a character that has turned out to be irresistible to the dumbest Americans. I'd bet that even he is stunned at just how successful this grift has been.

Facts to remember: We won't win by converting Maga; they are not convertibles. Certainly not in any significant numbers. We must connect with disaffected non-voters. They can make a difference. How to make them care is the key to everything.

An intergenerational dream match would be El Grande Americano vs Mr. America vs The Black Scorpion vs The Blue Blazer in a Fatal 4 way losers lose masks match. We could finally reveal 3 of wrestlings greatest mysteries all at once!

I think I'd resist ICE to the point of death if they tried to take me. I'd rather die here than in a death camp in central America.

If the arsonist gets caught, Trump will pardon him and find a place in the administration for him.

Retailers should leave prices as they would be without the Trump tariffs, and just post a sign: Trump Tariff to be added at checkout. That way people can see on their receipt exactly what they are paying because of his idiocy. Probably a lot more than those 2024 egg prices they freaked out about.

In the ridiculous scenario where Canada and Greenland become a part of the United States, we would ultimately need to grant them Congressional/Electoral representation; and it's hard to believe that wouldn't be the death of the Republican party.

People were so upset about paying 3 dollars for eggs, that they elected a nut who is doubling the cost of everything while slashing everyone's 401k. And sold their souls to make it happen.

Not voting is an irresponsible act of reckless anarchism. If you could understand that sentence, it's your civic obligation to help elect the most qualified people possible. Non-voters are to blame as much as actual voters for the fate of this nation, but with no moral right to complain about it.

I always found it weird/ironic how Rage Against the Machine happened in the 90s, and history since then has offered so much more to rage about. Ahead of their time, it's unfortunate nobody really picked up that torch for modern times.

@danbernstein.bsky.social how about a fishing show with inevitable sports and politics discussion? Turn the whole fishing thing into a positive. If I had the time and credentials I'd offer to be a part.

Probably my best all around, somewhat realistic, 3 round #BearsMockDraft

Crazy idea: Democrats should make Obama House Speaker in '26. Impeach and remove Trump/Vance, and then President Obama 2.0 until 2028.

When they say "we will feel pain, but we will have gains", they are referring to 2 different "We"s. The we who feels the pain is the working class, the gainers will be the billionaire class. Just like always. Tariffs are just another pyramid scheme. So is DOGE.

The last time Wall Street had a day this bad it required both Trump and a global pandemic working together.

If there is significant enough Congressional turnover to impeach after the next election, are there enough nutty maga loyalists to spark violent revolution over it? Or will even the majority of his cult members see the light by then?

I know for a fact the paid protester accusations are bullshit, because if it were possible to get paid to do it, I'd be at all the protests. Easy money.

Bernie is out there still being the voice of the working class, and guess who is doing absolutely nothing? Every other democrat who ran for president in modern history. Can you imagine Hillary Clinton throwing massive rallies right now? No you can't. Which is why you shouldn't have voted for her.

Definitely time to cancel the wedding. This relationship is not working (for me).

By the time he's done Trump's presidency will rate amongst the greatest disasters in US history; alongside covid, 9/11, the great depression, and the civil war (which he might still cause a sequel...)

The people that voted for Trump are either misguided, conned, or flat out hateful. But the people who didn't vote, who heard the warnings and chose to not take a side; they are true cowards. And they bear just as much accountability for where we are as anybody else.

Doesn't freedom of speech and right to assembly imply that there can be no such thing as an "illegal protest"?

Maga: he's just making stocks more affordable libtards!

Magats are still buying Trump's b.s. because they haven't yet realized how bad they're going to have it. Once they lose their job, insurance, etc. and the bills start piling up and inflation isn't coming down; they're going to have a hard time blaming Democrats and wokeness for everything.

His dementia must have caused him to confuse the 2 of them.

When running for office a few years ago, I concluded that it would be cheaper to hire hackers to rig the vote than to win by spending the necessary money to do it the honest way. I didn't do that, but I'm pretty sure Trump/Musk did.

I guess the latest doge cut is the stock market, because it is tanking pretty rapidly. Almost like a massive number of people lost their jobs and the entire federal government is run by complete morons...

Gas and egg prices may be up while the stock market plummets, but I'm sure this will pan out...

He's like an action figure with no hip joints

The same people that refused to wear masks will probably soon be insisting on eating bird flu infected eggs and poultry. They just can't stop proving the levels of ridiculous they are willing to go to.

Ok, then.. Obama '28

It's not a silver lining because there really aren't any of those right now but i do think republicans getting to do whatever they want might end up backfiring on them when people realize what they want to do is literally scam everyone

I feel like a lot of people watched American History X and sided with the Nazis.

Any serious immigration policy would include severe punishment for those who employ people here illegally. It they weren't providing jobs for them, they probably wouldn't be here in the first place... Yet that never happens. I wonder why?

Did Fetterman lose his mind when he had a stroke or has he always been a fake political opportunist? Really tired of people presenting themselves as progressives then turning into shit.

It's not to early to look at the next election. We need elected officials who will fight to undo Citizens United, and must oppose any who won't. All other issues remain irrelevant so long as the country is for sale. Progressive campaign finance reform is the only issue that matters.

Honestly, I feel like this sort of attention might make her a target for all the violent criminals Trump just released from prison. Hope I'm wrong, but we need to be mindful of the world we are now living in.

Geriatric Democrats need to get out of the way and let AOC, a real leader, lead us.

The only issue that really matters is undoing Citizens United. Until then, the U.S. is effectively the property of Elon Musk.

They're cancelling school because it's cold outside, even though school is indoors... Yet I still need to work partly outdoors. Oh well, at least people will probably have their dogs inside.

American Primeval was very violent very realisticly, and I thought very good. And an Explosions In The Sky soundtrack never hurts.

Almost witnessed a cyber truck get into a fender bender. Definitely would have laughted.

Vape tip of the day: buy small carts. They usually go bad from getting goupy and clog before you ever vape it all.
