I hold moderate political views, favoring balanced solutions that bridge divides. I value fiscal responsibility alongside social progress, supporting policies that protect freedoms, and assist the vulnerable & less fortunate. Never a Trump supporter.

I must have missed the fine print on my ballot where I opted-in for my tax dollars to be used as a cleanup crew for fires he personally lit. It’s truly heartwarming to see public funds used to "protect" us from a crisis that was manufactured in-house.

Most people think losing freedom happens all at once. But it’s actually happening in the federal budget, the Big Beautiful Bill.

For every 100 dollars spent on Homeland Security, the government spends only ONE dollar on the FDA. They care 100 times more about tracking you than checking if your food is safe.

"Every agency is being gutted except for the one that controls you. This isn't about the traditional military we know. It’s a new system of intimidation designed to replace public service with government force. Wake up."

The sheer inability to recognize when you’ve been lied to, over and over and over again, has to be one of life’s greatest unsolved mysteries. MAGA cultists seem to have evolved a brand-new genetic defect: a brain filter that magically transforms blatant lies into comforting false truths.

Anything — and I mean anything — that brings genuine benefit to those in need or improves society as a whole, DT instinctively resists. It’s almost as if progress itself is a threat to his agenda. Instead of supporting meaningful change, he actively undermines society as a whole.

By the time you’ve lived as long as I have, the blindfolds society hands us from birth start to tear—and the view underneath isn’t pretty.

Now they’re controlling the media reporting on military operations! apple.news/AB2XGWygSQlK...

Pentagon removes major media outlets, including NBC News, from dedicated workstations as part of a new 'rotation program' — NBC News
NBC News, The New York Times, NPR and Politico must vacate their office spaces in two weeks for other news organizations — including at least one that did not request to be added.

Watching Donald Trump’s cabinet and department confirmation hearings, it is evident that Republican Senators are shirking their duty to provide meaningful & thorough oversight and uphold their responsibility to govern and safeguard the nation.

If Republicans fail to stand up to Trump from the very beginning, the slide toward authoritarianism will accelerate, as it did in Hungary and Turkey.

After trying to research how much Jack Smith’s investigation of DT, the total is somewhere between $35M & $50M. Release the report!

Ramaswamy and Musk show what they really want, “Cheap Labor”. The H1B program needs to be amended to allow wage balancing to match the existing sector workers wages. Not less, which allows them to layoff existing workers for cheaper labor.

If we didn’t already know, DT shows what he really cares about In request to Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban. He believes it helped him get elected, doesn’t care about Nat’l security.

Trumps rhetoric about all the things he’s going to do is just a smoke screen for what he secretly is planning to do. Controlling congress for the benefit of billionaires.

Now we know who is running our government….Musk got what he wanted in the CR, Trump didn’t. MAGA’s haven’t grasped that yet.

Who would’ve believed that the U.S. Presidency is now a government version of QVC. Trump has taken peddling merchandise to a new level, never before seen or even contemplated.

We need a change. Why ? Media’s credibility is undermined by sensationalism, bias, and the prioritization of speed over accuracy. Additionally, extreme overt partisanship has eroded trust, as audiences perceive reporting as agenda-driven rather than objective.

Terrifying. In addition to both the LA Times & WashPost who have sold their credibility to Trump. Now the Guardian is selling the Observer, the oldest Sunday Newspaper.

Trumps transparent pattern of prioritizing personal loyalty over competence in government appointments show his dysfunction and corruption intent.

Trump’s recent nominations lean heavily on loyalty and ideology. Raising real concerns about qualifications and effectiveness. Picks emphasize partisanship and fealty over expertise. Undermining institutional leadership, integrity, and competence.

5. If there was ever any doubt that Trump’s incoming administration is undermining the ideals of our constitutional rule of law, it should be gone by now.

DeRoy S @1ststar.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
4. The Constitution mandates that Congress writes the laws governing American citizens and that the President upholds them. But under this administration, you can forget about those principles being honored.

3. We are on the brink of being ruled by the “Ultra Rich,” who see governance as a tool to serve their own interests. Trump and his allies are crafting a system where a king-like figure and his court strip away 250 years of hard-fought individual sovereignty.

2. Project 2025, Trump’s blueprint for dismantling our constitutional framework, is unfolding before our eyes. If you don’t see it, perhaps you’ve accepted the idea of returning to a feudal system of governance.

The mentality impaired have been let loose in Washington. A lunatic who resembles Mussolini’s famous quote - “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the marriage of government and corporate power.” We can add to that “personal political power.”

It’s dumbfounding to me that the majority of anti-Trump people don’t get it that the media loves Trump. Where else would they get their news?

DeRoy S @1ststar.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
Maybe we stop blaming each other and start blaming the Republican Party as a whole, including those who elected him. Let Trump do anything he wants, don’t blame him, blame Republicans. It looks like Republican followers aren’t going to change their minds until he’s convinced everyone of his lunacy.

DeRoy S @1ststar.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
Why aren’t our elected representatives (especially Democrats) asking “why” Trump is appointing so many unqualified candidates to positions of power? There voices should be ringing across every media source available. Yet, not many seem to have that much fortitude……hmm

4. You’ve ended free public education, pushed a national abortion ban, radicalized the Supreme Court for generations, and handed power over to billionaires. You’ve just helped dismantle democracy itself because your grocery bill went up.

3. When the damage of this "victory" has taken root so deeply it can't be undone in our lifetime, and our democratic institutions have been hollowed out to serve a single man's will, will you ask for forgiveness? Will you recognize too late that this isn’t a “correction” but a dangerous shift?

DeRoy S @1ststar.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
2. When Trump purges nonpartisan professionals and installs radical loyalists in every corner of the government, fills the judiciary with ideologues, and rewrites policies to benefit a narrow few—what will you say then?

1. To my friends, family, and former colleagues who supported Donald Trump, I want to share some reflections with you. After closely following his word from rally speeches, to public statements and interview, I’ve gathered some thoughts on the direction he seems to be leading us as President-elect.
