I keep seeing posts about farmers and the bailouts and it’s a problem that people believe the family farms will see any of that money. The large corporate farms will suck up all that money before family farms even get the application filed out!

The unemployment rate is the highest it’s been since Covid. It’s going to take some real fast talking to distract from the fact the economy is headed for trouble! Don’t worry, they’ll blame it on the democrats.

Do churches in other countries pay taxes?

The excuse for keeping assault weapons legal has been that we need protection from the government. we’ve discovered the same people who argue that after every mass shooting are in support of the fascist tyranny they claim to need protection from. Next time republicans are the minority, those guns go

Is it normal for a DUI with a child in the car be additionally charged with child endangerment?

@maggybaggy.bsky.social I love when I find an original contributor

@mickwatling.bsky.social hats off to the rare contributor who is almost entirely original!

I thought FIFA would pull the World Cup because America is now so unsafe for tourists from so many participating countries! To then hand out some “Trumped Up Award” is even more egregious!

I’m noticing an uptick in “those horrible democrats” posts on Facebook and TikTok presumably because they’re circulating that stuff to keep their focus off the Trump-Epstein connection!

Yes, some democrats are on the Epstein Client List! No, we are not defending or protecting them. What are you going to do about your Orange Savior being one of them?

We are seeing yet another difference between Dems and GOP, if Clinton is in the Epstein files not one of us would protect him!

New test to know if you’re in a cult, if you know “the leader” is a pedophile and you ignore it.

If democrats voted to end the shutdown without getting what they were fighting for, does that make it the democratic shutdown?

The GOP narrative is that Obamacare is riddled with fraud and that’s why it needs to go! Assuming they’re right we need to eliminate car, life and home insurance because fraud is built into all of them.

This is really why Johnson needed to send people home

Democrats did what democrats always do, state their agenda, then fail to achieve it, turn it into their campaign slogan for the next election! Failing to achieve campaign promises is why voters stay home!

@kim.senate.gov please, Democrats can’t vote on ANYTHING until our new congresswoman is sworn in!!!

Anyone who thinks republicans will give in to democratic demands after the shutdown is over raise their 🤚

We thought the Roberts court could go no lower, then they approved Trump starving American children!

@gtconway.bsky.social question for a more astute political analyst than me; would it be less damaging for republicans to let the Epstein files out now, or later, closer to the midterms. They’re going to come out, question is when, and how to react to the names on the list.

@kim.senate.gov I live with two Republicans, both voted straight Democratic in this election, one who said it’s first time in my life I’ve voted Blue. That’s how dissatisfied voters are with the shutdown, tariffs, chaos and mean spiritedness. Please tell the GOP “read the room”!

Republicans better pay attention and realize they’re pissing people off! Compromise with the Democrats, reopen the government, feed the people or you will keep loosing!!!

Are you better off now than four years ago?

Remember just a minute ago a huge scandal about NBA players gambling and fixing games? That story sure disappeared fast!!!

When I heard about Dick Cheney I tried to think of a single redeeming quality, nothing!

The government shutdown because of democrats and republicans fighting how much to fund healthcare is so uniquely American because if we wanted to save money we would use single payer universal healthcare but we can’t do that because insurance companies profits are more important

Major media (including newspapers) now have a habit of saying that the political race is a dead heat.

I just watched a good movie (Penguin Lessons) that takes place in Argentina during Military Rule when anti-government people were “disappeared”. That’s where we’re at here now. People will look back at this time as the bad time. Argentina has never really recovered 🙁

Is the speaker of the house a democrat or republican? See that tells you who has the majority. The shutdown belongs to the party in charge!!!

💯

When I post on Facebook (yes I’m that old) something I’m angry about I use a red background. I just noticed that it’s the same color GOP fascists embrace

We need Democratic Leadership to start spreading the message “the reason your health insurance premiums are going up is because of the GOP”, the two things they won’t reopen the gov’t for is healthcare subsidies and the Epstein files.

Anyone know if this is true?

Now is the time for Democrats to tell Americans the new healthcare premiums are what Democrats are fighting to fix.

I just reopened my TikTok account to see if it’s better now that communist China doesn’t run it anymore. There’s suddenly a bunch of pro-Trump posts now that an American billionaire owns the majority share. This may be the last bastion of independence left

There’s two ways to fix/save social security. One is to force Congress to restore the fund with the money they borrowed to sustain the general fund for the budget. They can’t afford that! The other is to remove the cap that protects the rich from paying their share. Their donors won’t approve, but..

Did I just hear that Trump wants to apply the same law they went after Hunter Biden with? He wants to take away gun rights from people who take drugs including the use of marijuana in states where it’s legal? A GOP president taking away guns from Americans?

If the orange dicktater wants hits on foreigners maybe go after the hackers that target our internet instead!

Somewhere in America tonight a little Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing in her diary.

Trump laughed at the “No Kings” march but republican politicians should see the writing on the wall!

The roughly two thousand Palestinian prisoners held by Israel were frequently used as examples of why Jews deserved Oct 7. Now they’ve been returned to Gaza, videos have surfaced of firing squad executions in the streets of Gaza. Now we can see who Israel kept locked up and why!

People’s understanding of economics and gov’t are so limited that if voting doesn’t offer satisfaction, they’ll abandon democracy. Republicans are happy about that but warning, if unregulated capitalism doesn’t offer success, they’ll abandon capitalism too!

If a federal employee is fired during the shutdown are they entitled to unemployment benefits? They’re not fired for cause!

So the war in Gaza is a page that’s almost been turned but the chasm caused by the antisemitism it exposed will not be forgiven or forgotten for a long time! None of the people that claimed moral high ground have commented on keeping hostages that Hamas allowed to die rather than return them in time

I’m so curious why MTG has suddenly decided to stand on her own and give real, common sense statements and go against her party?

Trump throwing Ten Billion Dollars of welfare to American farmers. That’s a fraction of the money actual grain sales bring in. It’s just a show instead of a solution (to a problem Trump caused)

Since our government will be closed until right before elections, I want to see every democrat posting ads saying “I’m going to vote for people willing to release the Epstein files”

Remember that bus of black female student athletes that got harassed down south? Whatever happened to the cops that held them?

What happened to the story about the lynchings in Mississippi? The college student’s family was having an independent autopsy done.
