Grift, it's what's for dinner. If you are a Republican.

I smell bullshit. Since when has a corporation made life easier for working people. Not once. When computers were just coming out, they said it would reduce our hours and we would all have extra time. Did not happen. This fairy tale is also bullshit.

Your religion does not give you the right to kill your children. I think a real prosecutor would see thatl

This is assault. The ICE officer should have been brought up on charges. When you have a group that does not have to adhere to laws, you have no laws.

We need a law that says that if you choose to not vaccinate your child when a tested vaccine exists and that child dies, then you are charged with manslaughter.

No, I do think his time as SECDEF is coming to an end. Trump will blanket pardon him so that he will just vanish into the sunset with a huge amount of money.

Never trust a Republican to do the right thing. Oh, they will spin stories about how they have changed and will do the right thing, but they never do.

Exactly. It is disgusting but true.

Yet for the most part they will vote for Republicans. This will end poorly for those that continue to be under the thrall of the Republican noise machine.

A Presidents usage of the word 'I' should be limited. For Trump, it is all about him and what he wants. That is not something a real President would contemplate.

This is a call for a couple of things. The US used to have the best education system in the world. Now we are a joke. This must become a priority. Our news services used to have to present 'both' sides of a position. Now we have fox news that has been proven to lie. This also must be addressed

The fix for this is known. When we had the first gilded age, the fix was breaking up these enormous companies into much smaller companies. That is the only way we will get competition and lower prices. It would also employ more people. This needs to be a priority.

If multi-millionaires have to keep employed to ensure health coverage, then indeed our healthcare system is well and truly broken. We need what every first world nations already have which is universal healthcare paid for by taxes.

If true, which is becoming more and more difficult to ascertain, this is a wake up call. I have suggested that Governors call out their nation guard to protect the ballots. That now seems to be required.

If there was any doubt that the Oligarchs are coming for your jobs, this should be a wake up call to all working people. The goal is to reduce labor cost to the bare minimum and replace with AI and robots. Many will tell you that is not the case. I believe they are wrong.

Yet another example that ICE is not about immigration but is about intimidation. They cannot be reformed and must be abolished. If the Democrats take the house at the midterms, them must completely defund ICE.

Examples: ICE being masked and not giving due process is a prime example. As expropriation, the US government now hold stock and some cases controlling interest in companies. That is controlling the means of production.

Given that Hakeem is a AIPAC tool, I highly doubt anything he has to say.

This is intolerable! Trump hates whom he cannot control. California is a state where Trump has little leverage. This should not be forgotten and we must hold him accountable. NARE! Never Another Republican Ever! Vote them all out of office.

We all should have listen to Maya Angelou: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are"

I find that the authoritarian bent is from the Republican side of the house. Your comic has it backwards.

This is not happenstance. The goal of the oligarchs is to reduce the cost of labor to the point that we become serfs, beholding to our oligarch owners to provide scraps for us to try to live on. We must tax the morbidly wealthy into submission.

This is uncalled for and I do not care what they say she did. This is not what police should be doing. This action should end up with a dismissal.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Bingo! The whole data center thing is yet another example of using tech to make life worse for working people so that the morbidly wealthy can suck more money from us. I see no direct benefit for working people with data centers.

With QEMU which is free and works fine, this market is about to die.

A variant of the rules and laws are only for Democrats and people of color. Republicans get a pass or a pardon and 'safe' vote by mail.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
The difference is that Democrats want to have our nation with "life, liberty and the pursuit of hapiness" in the form of universal healthcare. Republicans promise $5,000 which no one will ever see.

One starts to wonder if it is even possible for Trump to tell the truth. I doubt it.

This situation is not happenstance but an orchestrated set of events to allow oligarchs to crush the labor market. Given how bad things are, someone who is employed will not 'rock the boat' and will not ask for a raise. AI will fix the rest and then we will be serfs beholden to oligarchs.

This exchange points out the ludicrous nature of this hearing. The goal was never to get the truth of what happen, but to try to catch Smith in a lie that had no bearing on the investigation. I'm glad it backfired so badly. Republicans are loathsome.

I cannot claim I came up with that, but it does seem to focus thinking on what is the case. Use as you see fit.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I agree and it is our fault for voting them into office. Yes, it will take time, but having examples like Mamdani will help when we hold Democrats feet to the fire, which we absolutely have to do.

It used to be that SCOTUS would not take a case until it had been tried. Not anymore now that they are a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican party. It will be amusing to watch this SCOTUS miscreants go back to not taking any emergency cases from a Democratic President.

Even Republicans can see the hand writing on the wall. "You will never have the majority again!".

I understand why they will not debate. What could they possibly tell voters? "Yes, I'm for ICE shooting Americans, it is the price of freedom. Yes, I'm for throwing people off of healthcare, just tell them to please die downwind."

If a cop turn off his body camera, anything he says is suspect and the person involved should be let go.

Asleep at the wheel. Seems like an appropriate image to focus upon when thinking about your vote for the midterms.

You do have a point. I am concerned that 'starting from scratch' could lead to some terrible ideas coming to the fore. On the other hand, it could be better. I'd like to see the US adopt a parliamentary system. That would help kill the two party system we have now. Alas, that will never happen.

Jim Murphy @jimmurmac.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Bingo! We must turn out in massive numbers to thwart the gerrymandering and cheating that will happen. This is how Orban was defeated in Hungry. Get off your butts, register and vote out every Republican from office!

When I receive a call like this, I always ask if they are willing to pay for my time. They always say no, then I always hang up.

When you understand that a business is really a partnership between the owner and the consumers, then this is what you see. Most businesses now see their customers as money outlets and could not care less about them. I do like COSTCO and this is why.

🎯. When more people vote, Democrats tend to win. When fewer people vote, Republicans tend to win. We must speak with our friends, neighbors and everyone we know to register and vote. It must be a massive turnout to thwart the gerrymandering and cheating that will happen. Vote out Republicans!
