We await the rise of an honest, plain spoken, anti-AIPAC, anti-corruption, pro-worker progressive. Who will it be? Is there such a person? We need someone to believe in. Someone to restore our faith in common decency.

Hopeful progressive. Searcher of insight. Grateful dad. Lucky hubby.
How many Iranians have we slaughtered? And for what? Don’t give me your lifeboat ethics. One lost life is too many for bullshit reasons to kill. Let alone an entire school of girls. Who are we? I’m afraid we’ve lost our way.
What part of bathing the feet of beggars, prostitutes or immigrants do white nationalists not understand?
Taking care of its vulnerable is a just nation’s duty. To castigate its most vulnerable is a sure sign of the nation’s weakness.
MAGA is concerned about black Helen. They live on surfaces. Shallow tribe. We, the righteous platelickers, await our Odysseus.
The mind boggler for me is how can 38.2% of our population think the🍊robber baron is doing a good job? WTF! What bigass rock do 38.2% of the population live beneath. Does this mean that 38.2% of our country are dumbasses? Yup.
USA, please, I’m begging you, can we elect a younger politician? Can we at least have a representative from a generation not teetering over the edge of the grave to decide the future for future generations? Not looking for more wisdom necessarily, just someone more representative and less greedy.
Any guesses how long his handlers will be able to patch him up and prop him up before a camera? Seems to be all the rage. Let’s slop makeup onto our old white man politician, put a teleprompter everywhere he goes, and whisk him out of the room when the ramblings go too far off script.
I support Israel as a concept. I believe it has a right to exist alongside other countries. I no longer support sending Israel weapons. I don’t support politicians taking money from Israeli lobbyists. Netanyahu = trump = Putin
Any guesses how many billions the 🍊family will have accrued during this presidency? From crypto to foreign gifts, to government investments. Pigs at the trough like never before. Shameless grifters.
Elon Musk says we won’t need money by 2036 because AI will provide an abundance of services. He won’t need money because he has always had an abundance. He knows nothing but abundance. Maybe he shouldn’t talk quite so much for the rest of us.
Maya Angelou: People are afraid to be pried loose from their ignorance.
I’m old. I should just bury my head in the sand. I can’t do anything to change anything. Following the news pisses me off. Anger doesn’t help me or anyone close to me. And yet I can’t help myself. This unprecedented grift must be called out. One more voice among the multitude of irate voters.
trump’s final middle finger to the masses. Giving Saudis “nuclear”. He does not care. He is about tearing down. The flag hugging “builder” is precisely what hell’s harbinger would have to look like. Evil dressed up like a Christian Nationalist.
How does MAGA justify selling nukes to Saudis? Eagerly awaiting the justification.
Right wing media oligarchs don’t care whether they tank their own news ratings. It’s all about normalizing the messaging. Initial ratings drops don’t matter. The goal is the long term shaping of public sentiment to the right.
6 Democrats cross the aisle to sign 1.5 trump military bill. Time to kick those assholes out of office. What a shitty news morning. First Saudis get nukes, then we get another assurance of another “forever” war. I’m cracking open the bourbon early.
It’s bad enough that we are entrusted with nukes. Now we’re “selling” them to a murderous and torturous regime. What? We’re selling them to ourselves?
To watch old fat 80 shake hands with Kashoggi’s murderer to seal an atomic bomb deal is perhaps the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen in my 60+ years.
How quickly we forgive the Saudis for torturing/murdering a journalist. Not to mention it’s 9/11 ties. Remarkable how a few billion in the family coffer drives executive policy.
Saudis with nukes. Great idea. How do you suppose they convinced 🍊80? Jared getting billions from them have anything to do with it? Biggest grift ever. In plain sight. Sure is a good thing to elect “successful” business men into office.
What would happen if a democratic administration withheld Medicaid funding from, say, Mississippi. It would be awful. But it would never happen. Because the left believes in helping people regardless their affiliation. The right only helps itself.
I’m proud to be a social dumocrat. That’ll be my bumper sticker going forward.
Every one, we only need to comply. Then no one will get hurt. ICE logic.
ICE has killed more people in Maine than undocumented immigrants.
Does Hegseth take testosterone? Have you seen him do pull-ups? He could use a stronger dose.
Our next president will be at least 30 years younger. She/He will be able to talk in complete sentences. She will not accrue billions while in office. He will not cake makeup on his extremities. She will not accept gifts from foreign governments. He will lie once a week instead of every utterance
