Can you imagine if or when sanity returns, replaying and listening to this country's current leader, cabinet members, press secretary, and far right social media influencers? Can you imagine us being hit by any other crisis in the midst of this chaos? I don't believe any of this is coincidental.

Both Netanyahu and Putin has some hold on Trump, that allows them to routinely humiliate him without fear of retaliation or any consequence. Few hours after the peace agreement and fanfare it was broken by Israel. The highly touted Russia/Ukraine deal is nowhere in sight. MAGA is futile to the US.

The Heritage Foundation and it's Supreme Court agents are aggressively reversing all the remedies of a constitution that was never intended to give rights to black people, indigenous people or women. Malcolm X asked the question, " If all men are created equal, why is there a need fo civil rights".

For the country to be functional it requires the four estates,which, are the Whitehouse, Congress, the Supreme Court, and the 'free' press. You can say they are staffed, but are they working for the American people? It's a rhetorical question, but I suppose the No Kings Day will provide an answer.

The West is now in full conflict with the East and the South. The former colonizers and exploiters are getting their day of reckoning. The West was built, maintained, and supported by the people and resources from the South, who have never been respected, and received crumbs in aid and excess.

I still don't understand what Israel has done for America that is worth the billions sent to them over the decades, that could not be achieved by the CIA, the military bases, eavesdropping, and satellite monitoring. Just useless death, torture,pain, and suffering. We preach freedom to the world.

Reasonable people who still hold conservative views/values, many on this platform are 'never Trumpers', some have left the GOP altogether. What explains those who call themselves conservative and embrace Trump? Unless the word was redefined, nothing conservative is going on now. This is fascism.

The world is a powderkeg it just need a flicker of fire to go off. There is the standoff with Venezuela, a country now a part of the BRICS. The West is yearning to tear down China for being too uppity. Steve Schmidt is correct, quiet is not peace in Gaza, and Ukraine/Russia are still at it.

All I have to say to the Iranians and the Palestinians is to be on guard and plan wisely. Nothing is what it seems. Remember the ambush in Qatar, and the nuclear deal ambush. Remember that.

I am genuinely at a loss. Everyone knows what it took to make this President make a peace deal in the middle of a genocide. The question is why no president before Trump couldn't settle the Israel/Palestine conflict? All it took was a gift and money.

The so-called "momentous" occasion that Trump referenced in his Gaza ceasefire speech is great news for the Israeli hostages and families, and also for the Palestinian people, hostages and families. Hopefully we close a chapter. All of this could have been achieved decades ago. Thanks Qatar.

Columbus day should really be a day to honor native Americans. We won't hold our breath, because the European culture has evolved into MAGA. The same culture that caused the black plague, 100 year war, slavery, colonialism, and a discredited science type called eugenics.

We are about to see either an American acceptance of the Israel/Palestine border, and statehood, or another big cons in history. Either ways it serves two purposes for Trump, a diplomatic feather in his cap, and pleasing Qatar. The lives of the US and Palestinian people are not a consideration.

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥

When our leaders have abandoned the rule of law for personal and partisan expedience, democracy dictates that the people must hold them accountable.

Democrats will do better if they are sharper. It's not enough to want to help your constituents. Like Bernie, AOC, and Mamdani you must be prepared to hit the pavement, press palms and listen to the people. You must self critique your position, and be clear about it. You must be Sharp.

The world is being lit on fire not on behalf of any group of people, but to satisfy the Ego's of warp minded men, who live in luxury and benefit from power.

The mentality of superiority and dominance has held back the world, yet it still prevail. The evidence is that since the end of slavery, the dismantling of cast systems, and women's subjugation. The world has prospered significantly. We could be further ahead but for class and race inequalities.

Europe's wealth, might, and influence globally are vanishing. Africa, Asia, and South America are reclaiming their sovereignty, voice, and their natural resources. The irony is that they are aided by authoritarian countries, not so called Democratic ones that plundered and held them back.

The shutdown was easily avoidable. One side wanting to do good for the people,but will also cause pain and harm initially. The other couldn't care less and lies about the obvious. Federal and essential workers are on the frontline, bearing the brunt of ineffective governance.

We now know that everything happening was inevitable. The played up culture wars, the economic inequalities, the broken immigration system, the billions wasted on wars, are just proof our leaders were never focused on Americans. We can see the effect in countries that focus on their people.

I am encouraged everyday by so many of the stalwarts on Bluesky who continue to provide breaking new and advise on the corruption machine. It does at time seem pointless knowing that there are so many who like Latinos for Trump, still won't get it until they are affected, and the lights go out.

Republicans/MAGA are not real. They have always promoted fiscal concervatism, never adhering to it themselves. No the consequences are visible, but that is not alarming for them. What is clearly alarming are Epstein files, Charlie Kirk's demise, military airbase for Qatar, and Zohran Mamdani.

This country is so upside down now. The GOP who literally embrace the Tea Party movement, and continuously shout 1776, are now calling the No Kings protest hate America. So for them we can object to perceived tyranny, but you can't. How do you get to common understanding with these people?

We triumph over adversity by preparation and acknowledging reality. The new world order will no doubt create multiple opportunities globally, mainly for the tech savvy crowd. In every new era difficult decisions must be made. We can choose to thrive or survive. It starts with accepting reality.

If a leader's mission is to inspire greatness in his/her people, that will result in great outcomes. The opposite is also true. Americans want to realize our best potential possible. We are failing because of inherent contradictions in the social fabric. Always retreating to our worst impulse.

Half of the American people wants freedom, prosperity, equal justice,and an exemplary country, the other half would insist and die for a return of Jim Crow,or Hitler's Germany. Not even a clown for president, or economic disaster would change their mindset.

Trump's antics are daily becoming more neurotic. Most reasonable Americans just want to see the country live up to it's promise. The problem is that although the promise was worded broadly, students of history know many were excluded. Like Fredrick Douglas, we will use the broadest interpretation.

We learn true history when confronted by unsettling reoccurrences, we are unaware of. America has had awful Presidents before, Andrew Jackson and Richard Nixon among many others. Our democracy has always been fragile, and the constitution is dependent on honorable men. Yet we are afraid of history.

Ta-Nehisi Coates told Ezra Klein that silence was an option to his Charlie Kirks murder piece. Brilliant. Kirk's lifework spoke for itself. The left must evolve to safeguard ourselves, and move forward in these extra ordinary times. Sicario: "You are not a Wolf, and this is the land of wolves".

The bigger problem is what to do about the illegalities and unconstitutional actions of Trump. If the Supreme Court says nothing, what do we do with the Supreme Court? That can't be nothing too.

When you can't appeal to the good and decency in half of the people in a society, what do you do? When the meanest, vilest, and the most openly racist's daily platform their divisiveness and intent, without national pushback, it says what we really are and where we are heading.

Whatever we think of MAGA is irrelevant now. What they've done is irreversibly. You can sense among our people the despair. On one hand are the "we told you" on the other "I didn't vote for this", but these two sides will never unite to save America. We never attempted to fix the foundation.

Republicans have preached the message of fiscal prudence for decades, while proving to be the most reckless. Between the dismantling of federal safeguards, tariff impositions, increasing the debt, and nominating the most incompetent cabinet secretaries, economic fallout is guaranteed.

Amid the uproar about Charlie Kirk, a white Christian Nationalist pastor went viral, say black culture is murderous and beastial. Do white people know their history? Why they left Europe to seek a better life in the new world? The multiple genocides of every native people worldwide, some extinct?

The interview of Catherine Austin Fitt by Karen Hunter was most revealing and instructive. Successive governments have been disingenuous/corrupt. Our survival depends on us. The power rest in the hands of the people. We can claim what is ours, or keep begging and bawling. The OCGFC is the enemy.

Right-wing and legacy media hypocrites who cannot confront Trump on his divisive and inflammatory rhetoric, but blame Democrats for every aspect of incivility, must be fact checked to their faces, and asked about their political affiliation. The time for both sides posturing has passed.

We must always remember the failings of Merrick Garland. He had the law and proof on his side and cowered. Pam Bondi has neither on her side and pushes ahead with lawlessness. Remind them that what is good for the goose is good for the gander, loudly.

Stephen Miller's 3rd Reich speech at the Charlie Kirk memorial was ahistorical, packed with lies and was bereft of a unifying intent. A truely white supremacy position being advance by a Jew is ironic, given recent history. This must be countered by decent human beings with moral clarity.

I am not sure, but I think this administration with Trump, Rubio, Bondi, Bessent, Noem, Hegseth, Lutnick, RFK Jr. etc, believe they are accomplishing something positive,and take themselves seriously. If it wasn't so dangerously chaotic, and deadly, it would be a joke. This mistake is costly.

Well, nine US warships are in the Caribbean Sea, positioned against Venezuela. Trump is literally begging and bullying for a Nobel Peace Prize at the same time. It's a play for the countries oil reserves. China has invested heavily there and Russia to a smaller extent. Will we see war?

We had a choice. We could have led a world based on respect for other nations sovereignty, with justice, and equity. We chose dominance and 'America first'. Now it doesn't matter. The very rich have secured themselves and their assets, the working class are mostly clueless,concerned with survival.

Trump's assertion in his UN speech that the EU countries are "all going to hell" is rich coming from a country where there's multiple mass shootings. At some point it's not on Trump, the country who elected a man who told us "they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" says more about us.

Previous Presidents conducted themselves in a manner befitting the office, cognizant of who and what they represent. Stephen Miller has somehow confirmed for Trump, his own view that America is privileged to have hime lead. The UN debacle by Trump has convinced everyone the US is no superpower.

Everyone has now realized the dire straights we are in, as a country and the inheriters of the promise of America. Yet the war machine are rumbling again, our rights are being taken away, and deliberate lies are used to cover the collapse. Neither the GOP nor the Dems will stop the facade.

I would like to know, and I suspect the vast majority of the American people, what is the real state of the US economy? The bits and pieces we glean periodically, I don't believe does justice to the real picture. What Trump, Bessent, and Lutnick are saying is hogwash. We feel what they're hiding.

The public pressure on Disney is a reflection of the power the people holds when they are united. Politicians are merely spokesperson for, and conduits through which the will of the people are carried out. Politicians, and would be authoritarian leaders are encouraged by sheeply citizenry.

Knowing what Charlie Kirk stood for, those who attended his memorial service, except family and associates, represent an affront to minority groups,and the constitution. It is apparent that many of the values we claim to support are conditional. As bad as it is now, so many see it differently.

In the wake of a surrender to fascism by industry leaders, many law firms, universities and the military, we are on our own with the valiant efforts of the lower Courts. Domestic and international laws are being disregarded openly. The rights of minorities are being systematically trampled.
