An 87 year old perspective: today’s Republican- a Fascist in my day; today’s Moderate Democrat- a Republican in my day; today’s Democratic Socialist- a good old fashioned FDR Democrat in my day.

Old enough to remember Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union.
That little pipsqueak Rubio meets one on one with Lavrov. What could possibly go wrong 😑
In what universe is it acceptable that the US Coast Guard answers to ICE Barbie???
Just a couple of thoughts: why is Trump still in the White House? This ignorant, five year old malicious fool has broken enough laws to have been permanently removed either through impeachment or executive action. Secondly, why are ICE agents armed ? Their function is purely civil .
Not that I forgive the Democrats for quietly sitting back and allowing these criminal actions.
We watched Reagan illegally invade Grenada and we did nothing. We watched Bush illegally invade Iraq and we did nothing. Why are we surprised that Trump invaded Venezuela? Isn’t it about time that we realized that there is something rotten in our government, especially the Republican party.
Not only Trump but every government official, military or CIA operative involved in this illegal operation should be jailed immediately.
Is anybody else out there ready to start working to make Mark Kelly our next president? I’m an FDR Democrat and probably somewhat more liberal than Captain Kelly, but I think it’s time to elect a rational adult that we can all work with and support.
Eight goddamn democrats are responsible for the loss of health insurance of millions of Americans. Throw them out of the party.
Trump’s bombing of Iran mirrors Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor.
If you know an ICE agent or border patrol member or an employee of Homeland Security make sure you let them know that you don’t consider them to be an American citizen and that you shun them in every way possible.
No media mention of the current childish occupant of the White House should be made without attaching the honorific ‘Convicted Criminal’ to his name.
I would like to agree with those who call for “peaceful “ protests but then I think back to the peaceful protests in 1930’s Germany. Look how that turned out.
ICE agents need to realize, as Rachel Maddow said,”Trump will not be president forever.” Therefore understand, obeying an unlawful order is as much a crime as the issuance of that order.
Does anybody else think “Border Patrol Barbie” when they see pictures of Kristy Noem?
Talk amongst yourselves. I’ll give you a topic. The Supreme Court : it’s neither supreme nor a court. Discuss.

Does anyone else my age see the resemblance of I.C.E. to the Gestapo?
Watching ABC News. Not one mention of the biggest story of the weekend-millions of people protesting Trump and Musk!! Another case of caving into Trump???
www.alternet.org/alternet-exc... Absolutely accurate.
Trump voters got exactly what they wanted — so why are people complaining?
This week, Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs that the Associated Press called “a historic tax hike that could push the global order to a breaking point,” and what I want to know is this: Why...

As an ex member of the Armed Forces with two brothers who also served and a father who was an officer of Marines in the Pacific Theater during WWII, I was appalled by the way Vance disrespected every Marine in Quantico when he sat down in the messhall with his hat on.
Please go to Apple Maps and report wrong name. Real name is “Gulf of Mexico”
There have been at least 23 homicides in NY in the past month. Only one has resulted in the offer of a $10,000 reward from the city and a $50,000 reward from the fbi for help in solving. I wonder why!!!😑
And while I’m at it, I’d like to suggest that Biden’s pardon of his son was a great and well deserved FU to the American people who elected a racist,misogynistic,rapist,convicted criminal to the highest office in the land.
Well here I go on my way to being blocked but I have to say it after Ro Khanna’s sophomoric statement about “working across the aisle.” Trump did not win because of the price of eggs. He won because a plurality of the electorate and a majority of the newly elected House and Senate are nazis.
What a pleasure Bluesky is. A pleasure to have a place to read the comments of intelligent, well informed people whether discussing gardening, pets, or politics. Thank you Bluesky👍
