If the United States is the world’s greatest country has most presidents Will to claim, maybe we should start acting like it.

Trump and his cabinet are on a spectrum. The one that runs from cruel to sadistic.

We hear a lot from conservatives about the rights of the unborn. If they care so much about that, why do they not try to reverse climate change since it is the unborn in the future who will suffer the most?

You MAGA heads seem fine with whatever Trump does. But what if it was your daughter?

The chickens crossed the road...

As long as the GOP stays in charge this is the United States of Crazy.

When I see Speaker Johnson making his lame excuses I am reminded of William H. Macy in Fargo, "I'm cooperating here ma'am.."

The Democratic Party at its core has always been about economic prosperity for all Americans, not just the privileged. Social justice and environmental responsibility are essential to that goal, but need always to be in service of it, rather than as standalone goals. If they want to win, that is.

The Trump economic playbook: 1. make a self-serving decision that heads for disaster. 2. alter the decision to stave off disaster 3. get a result that is better than it would have been but worse than it was. 4. declare victory 5. mainstream media reports the victory without question

Great strategy - make poor people go hungry while blaming Democrats who refuse to sign on to elimination of those same peoples' health care.

Is there a kind of perverse honesty in our not even pretending to be the good guys anymore?

Looking at the changes to the White House, Trump should be impeached for bad taste alone.

So now Trump demands the DOJ pay him $230 million because they were mean to him in the Biden years and the person who decides whether to pay him used to be his personal lawyer. No corruption there! And if you'll buy that...

Take a break from all the awful news and check out this 11 minute video of a story I told yesterday at a Porchlight event. It's funny and true! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpUu...

Did any of you ever imagine the President of the United states would produce a video of himself as a king flying in a military jet shitting all over the country? I know I never did. But this is where we are.

Days since the news didn't cause me to say "what a fookin asshole" reading about Trump or Vance: 0

I find it rather tiresome to read opinion pieces by pundits telling Democrats what they should and should not be doing when none of them have the guts themselves to put themselves out there to try to actually solve the problems themselves.

What are more Americans going to realize that the worst thing they can do for the economy is vote Republican. They consistently make the economy worse and they are doing it again right now.

We, the people, writ large over the years, tolerated the intolerant. But now the intolerant have taken over.

The judge admits they are right but reversing climate change is just too hard.. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/oct...

This is the mild mannered button down face of evil. www.salon.com/2025/10/15/j...

If that Time cover photo is recent at all then it seems to prove that Trump's ear was never shot.

I hear the GOP Congress now hangs out at a Capitol Hill bar called Bend the Knee.

Vance's main qualification seems to be his eagerness to lie about everything.

A possible model for the Trump/MAGA/GOP regime preferred outcome is the British Raj in India.

GOP calling Democrats Marxist and communist is so absurdly 1952. But clearly they believe their own BS, which is dangerous.

The chief qualification for a GOP candidate seems to be "must be willing, able and good at lying with impunity." Exhibit A: Mike Johnson.

This Epstein affair with Trump really is the mother of all coverups.

Blaming Democrats for this GOP shutdown/gutting of the government is like an abusive man beating a woman saying "see what you made me do!"

My first reaction to seeing Adams drop out of the NYC mayor race was "how much was he paid, and by whom?" Maybe he just grasped that he was going to lose badly, but Cuomo benefits a lot. Thus, one wonders..

The Trumpzis want you to think the Dallas ICE shooter was going after ICE agents. Wrong. The people shot were shackled and in custody. As usual, hide the truth and use the lie to increase the police state. www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

If you don't think ICE acts like an American gestapo, I suggest taking your head out of your ass.

Are you Republicans happy with the police state you voted for?

So we'll bail out Argentina with billions of bucks because their right-wing leader sucks up to Trump, and China will buy their soybeans instead of ours because of Trump's illegal tariffs. Since that kills the farmers' business, we'll bail them out too with taxpayer money while our prices soar.

So easy to picture Pam Bondi in a well-tailored SS uniform.

"Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on." -Larry Ellison, soon to be part owner of Tik Tok, extolling the virtues of the surveillance state.

The simple fact is that since SCOTUS declared that the President cannot, by definition, do anything illegal, the rule of law for this nation no longer applies. We see the proof of this now every day. We are now an authoritarian government ruled by an irrational would-be king. We must reject this.

How convenient for MAGA to have a martyr just when the Epstein files keep heating up.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

So let me get this straight. Republicans think people should have choice and control over their own bodies when it comes to vaccines, but not women regarding their own bodies, even when their lives are threatened.

Every time Trump opens his mouth. Same with Vance and the rest of that idiotic cabinet.

Police state is here

At what point will Trump deny SS and Medicare benefits to Democrats?

Take note people...

This fall if you are under 65 and don't have certain preexisting conditions, you might be outright prevented by the Trump/Kennedy admin from getting a Covid vaccination shot this fall. This is your Federal Government at work protecting you? I don't think so.

My reaction to the Republicans on today's talk shows:

So this is the deal from Alaska - just give Putin whatever he wants? The US capitulates to Trump and he in turn capitulates to Putin.

So what is next in our dismantling of the US Constitution? Forcibly housing ICE soldiers in people's homes?

Does anyone doubt that crime is being used as a pretext for a military dictatorship?
