dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 18hI fear there will be significant gridlock in The US Congress is democrats have less than 2/3 majority in either or both chambers. Trump could veto bills to stop Democrats in their tracks if the Democrats don't have the 2/3 majority votes to override Trump vetoes. 011 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 18hWe really need a 2/3 majority of Democrats in both houses of The US Congress. This is needed to override Trump vetoes, to assure corrupt members of Congress can be removed through expulsion, and for conviction and removal for impeachable offenses by The US Senate of Trump and his corrupt supporters. 011 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 18hI hope people in Iowa stop voting for Charles Grassley as their US Senator when he comes up for reelection in 2028. That man is well in his 90's and he has not tried to oppose Trump. I know many Iowan's probably loved his demeanor. I don't think he should have been elected US Senator. 000 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 18hWe have a deliberately ignorant public that is the core of this problem along with the wealthy class who don't even care about Trumps moral squalor as long as they maximize their wealth at other people's expense. These two groups I believe composed the 2024 electorate that elected Trump. 011 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Mr. Dean, I believe President Trump is actually a front man for wealthy billionaire oligarchs that are using this President to overturn Democracy because the billionaire oligarchs stand to benefit from an authoritarian government. These billionaires are working in the shadows for authoritarianism. 010 0

dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 24/05/2026That 1,776,000,000 slush fund Trump set up is only for Trumps loyalists that are willing to commit crimes for Trump. It is not available for those who opposed or criticized Trump. Trump will dump anyone who is no longer useful to him. Trump is only really loyal to himself no one else. 000 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I think for decades these white conservatives in the south have been plotting behind the scenes to keep blacks from voting. These white conservatives want to protect white privilege at the expense of minorities. We need to be ever vigilant against these white supremacists. 000 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Thanks for your tribute to Delta Airlines even though it acquired Northwest Airlines. Professor Reich mentioned that in 1980 we had 12 major airlines. Now we are down to 4 major airlines because of airline mergers. Delta along with other airlines want to keep air fares high. They need to break up. 000 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 18/03/2026I think Kat Abughazaleh maybe could have won if this was not a five way race. I think only a two way race would have been much better. Democrats need to realize that having more than two candidates at once fractures the vote too much and gives someone who should not have won a shot at winning. 120 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Well this is why only the US Congress namely the US House of Representatives and The US Senate have the authority to declare war according to the US constitution. This is to stop a US President from warring with other countries without oversight from both houses of Congress. 110 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Americans as a whole need to somehow get the east wing of the white house rebuilt as much as possible to the way it was before. This ballroom project needs to be stopped. 010 0

dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 10/09/2025I wonder if journalists fear their oligarch overlords so much that they feel they can't report anything that angers their oligarch lords such as Jeff Bezos of Amazon and other rich people that own the media outlets. Dan Rather was forced out by CBS for displeasing the oligarchs that rule CBS news. 010 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 12/08/2025James Earl Carter Jr was our 39th President of the United States. The country had little appreciation for this man at the time. I think our country would be much different if he was elected to a 2nd term. Anyway he lived to be 100 years old. No president before him lived to be that old. 110 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 09/07/2025I suppose it is reaching some people but too many people don't seem to care about issues that are not immediately relevant to them. I realize this is an issue that will affect people in the end. Keep spouting off Ms Jacobs. I am confident that some people are heeding what you are saying. 020 0

Every Republican needs to be voted out in 2026. The disastrous provisions take effect after 2026 election in the hopes voters will be caught off guard. 010 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Let Republicans in both the US House of Representatives and The US Senate know that supporting Trump will get them primaried anyway. The voters need to make this clear. The Republicans in both houses of Congress are afraid Trump will get these people primaried for going against Trump's wishes. 010 0
dweeks1964.bsky.social @dweeks1964.bsky.social · 18/06/2025I have a feeling both of these people will be replaced by more progressive politicians. I am beginning to wonder if AOC could win Schumer's seat if she decided to run for his US Senate seat. Another progressive might replace Gillibrand. I would vote for progressives to fill both seats. 020 0
