Trump and bunch of far right corporate ghouls have made the economy very lopsided and wobbly. They've been artificially keeping it pumped up while overburdening the working class. I think they've weaponized the economy to try and make it collapse on the Democrats if they win congress.

Why do I feel like the oil tanker from Russia is some sort of Trojan horse, rigged by Putin and Trump to blow up in a U.S port refinery, and then blame Ukraine.

A garden hose is intended to convey water from your spigot to your garden. However, you can also beat the fuck out of someone with it. That seems to be Trumps understanding of Laws and norms.

I think Trump wants Democrats to win big in both houses of congress so he can squeal and whine about what a victim he is for the next two years.

I think Trump wants Republicans to lose badly in the midterms so he can claim to be "protecting America from the radical communist leftists agenda" all by himself with his veto pen. I'm curious how democrats would proceed without a super majority. Turning over rocks and bright, bleaching sunshine!

When I think of places that have public executions I also see judges and juries that are merely performative. The "state" expands the definition of what constitutes a crime and starts executing dissenters. Quiet fear ensues. Decades are lost to corrupt ideology. Hegseth can go fuck himself.

I think now would be a great time for Democratic politicians to stop asking for money and instead spend every day and every last penny in their current war chest, seeking out crowded random places and speaking their mind. I believe people will stop and listen. The stakes are that high.

AI at work is like the fuckwit sycophant douchebag your CEO met at an ayahuasca retreat and decided to make them head of your department because they "share a vision". The best workers flee along with the loyal customers but the AI creates a magnificent pivot chart and, voila, forward disruptor!

Over the past 20 years everything I want or need has become much more expensive than inflation or tariffs alone can explain. The people, the workers who actually produce the goods or perform the service, aren't making more. It's all going to private equity. It's like an extra tax. An executive tax.

I believe the corruption we know about around the Trump administration is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe they've amassed vast wealth and hidden it in corrupt hiding places around the world. Creating chaos by crashing our government and economy doesn't seem accidental. It seems opportunistic

I think Trump supporters have confused "fighting like Hell and never giving up" with relentless sabotage

The republican party could have inoculated itself against the MAGA disease if it had created its own version of the "woke" vaccine. Instead it followed the advice of the disease and is now dying from a completely preventable plague. If it survives it will be forever weakened.

Im not easily rattled or intimidated. I've frustrated many a bully. I am also keenly aware of when someone is attempting to bully, intimidated or terrorize me or others. The extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist MAGA Republicans are terrorizing people who aren't them. They're terrorists.

When I was a kid we had 8 track tapes in the car and it was mostly country music. That's where I first heard Dolly Parton. She's a part of the soundtrack in my head. Thank you Dolly

I hate to repeat back Republicans what they said to all us "woke" liberals but... Republicans! Sit you dumb ass down! Shut your stupid mealy mouth! Get the fuck out of the way so we can fix everything you've horribly fucked up!

Would Elon Musk, with his wealth, global connections to totalitarian regimes and penchant for bizarre beliefs, be willing to experiment on prisoners for something like "neurolink"? I think he and other ultra wealthy oligarch weirdos would do stuff like that.

Guys like Trump, and there's a lot of them in the Republican party, can't imagine broadly beneficial economic policy. They can only imagine the wants of the rich and ignore everyone else. They also can't manage or reduce the deficit. They can only explode it. Only Democrats have ever done that.

Somebody must know the identities of all the masked ICE agents. They're like the terror army of an industrial, for profit, private prison complex that's been allowed fester in this country. Something that heinous doesn't just disband after all the immigrants have been rounded up. Bellingcat?

Brilliant! Yes, eliminate the interest on my student loans and have all the interest I've paid so far go to the principal instead. I think there'd be leftover owed me but I'll be generous and only ask for 2/3 that it back. Fair?

They might not find any dead hookers among the skeletons in Lindsay Grahams closet but someone really should let that live boy out of the trunk of his car

Despite his griping about and attempts to stop mail in voting, when a race gets called early against Trump or his candidates because of overwhelming numbers, he'll be the first to cry "we have to wait for all the mail in ballots to be counted"

I think it would be great if the Democratic party could embrace the DSA or at least not distance itself from it while simultaneously saddling the GOP with communism like authoritarianism and corruption

If Im not mistaken, I think the DSA can also strongly condemn communism.

Republicans can't call Democrats a bunch of pedophile sex traffickers anymore because that's proven to be "problematic" for them so they're pivoting to calling them anti capitalists commie infiltrators, which is also problematic for them since they represent autocracy and oligarchy and elite grift.

Did Trump's "pool guy" get the no-bid conract for the reflecting pool because he has something on Trump? Did one of the pool guys rivals sabotage the pool or did a time pressed worker drag a heavy piece of equipment along the edge of the pool during finishing and fuck it up?

On my side of the political spectrum "the left" I see all kinds of diversity. Sure, some are annoying to me but I can't and won't distance myself from them. What I see on the right are Neo-nazis and extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist and they can't distance themselves from that.

The Republicans are desperatly latching on to the communist red scare thing about Democratic Socialism. The problem for them is, they look way more like communist when they trying to rewrite history and blast out self aggrandizing propaganda void of facts and truth.

What was Trump trying to "cover up" when he brought and stored all those classified documents to Mara-Lago? Also, what's in that 2nd volume of Jack Smiths investigation? Also, can Judge Cannon be jailed for collusion with the Trump regime when he gets ousted?

It's too hot, dry and stupid right now to really enjoy pyrotechnics. However, it's perfect conditions for written fireworks. Everytime I post here feels like a bottle rocket, launched the marching fascists. Wrrrrrzzzz... Pop!

Right now, the Republican party, especially MAGA doesn't represent freedom or democracy or The Constitution or Bill of Rights or any uniquely good "American values". They've cherry picked those things to create a convoluted, incoherent, cult like, fascist movement.
