This worst-case scenario is exactly what Trump and MAGA want for this country. We the people live in fear and poverty serving the wealthy pigs who drink champaign and eat caviar every night. That is their goal.

Great news: The Senate just blocked the Stop Insider Trading Act, a loophole-filled bill that wouldn’t actually ban members of Congress from owning stock. Americans deserve a real stock trading ban, not a weak bill that still lets congresspeople profit off their offices.

We do have a slight number advantage that we are not taking advantage of for some reason.

Humans could solve virtually every problem we face if we simply encouraged and funded true scientific research. Instead, the world's countries spend $2.88 trillion annually on military defense.

America should not allow billionaires to exist. It is too much money and too much power in the hands of people whose only talent is using others to make money.

Agree 100%, which is why Democrats must commit to getting money out of politics. It has to be a priority. Otherwise, this country will not move forward.

Any political corruption is bad, but now it's all out in the open and we just sit and watch like it's a political reality show.

All the world's countries combined spend $2.88 trillion dollars annually on defense. That's $352 for every single human on the planet. Imagine if that money was used to house, feed and educate people instead of for war. We are destroying ourselves.

Institutional racism and misogyny are alive and well in America. But even that isn't enough for Trump as he destroys every government attempt to alleviate the problem.

Right now, what the Constitution says and what we can enforce are two totally different things. I hope the midterms change that, but we'll see.

Charlie Kirk's one ability was to be able to make ridiculous, fact-free arguments without losing his temper. I mean, it is a skill of sorts. One step beyond merely lying into a camera.

Republicans never pay for even the most egregious mistakes. It's not how their party works. Facts are woke. Reality is woke. And their supporters don't care if they lie.

Yes, Ken. Corporate and oligarch money is the only reason there even is a Republican Party.

Brainwashed Republican voters would rather vote for criminals and traitors than Democrats. Seventy-seven million of them voted for a convicted felon, pedophile and incompetent moron to be president in the last election. We've been shocked twice in the past.

How far down the rabbit hole have we gone as a country? We have the photos, the films, the books, the survivors testimonies, but there are still idiots who claim the Holocaust didn't happen. It's unbelievable.

John Andreini @jpandre52.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Our media has been owned by six major companies that supply 90% of the media Americans consume for decades now. So a handful of oligarchs, most Trump supporters, have a strangle-hold on the news we receive, social media and entertainment. We do not have an independent media.

I'm surprised Trump hasn't started Public Service announcements titled: "The Less You Know."

Why are we allowing this to continue? These people are traitors, criminals, pedophiles and pathological liars. The world wants to know.

It will only happen when we get money out of politics. The current pay-to-play system does not encourage good principled leadership. It encourages the wrong kind of people, those who are willing to sell votes for money.

I think it's both. He's a criminal and a traitor, but also incredibly stupid and incompetent. I mean, he's a convicted felon who couldn't find Iran on an unmarked map if his life depended on it.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Ignorance is celebrated by the GOP. The less you know the better.

Trump has not only made open racism acceptable in the GOP, but more and more Republicans are using it as a campaign message. It's 2026 and their talking about blacks and women and LGBTQ as if it's 1926. They need to be stopped.

Just look at the Epstein Files. Trump was saved by a system that puts white wealthy men above the law. If other white wealthy men put Trump in jail, their own criminal acts and degenerate lives are at risk, so they protect each other. This goes beyond party lines.

This is how far the GOP, Trump and media have pushed this country to the right. Racists, criminals, Nazis, misogynists and pedophiles are taken seriously enough to be considered Republican contenders. We need to return to a society that repudiates and shuns these people and their behavior.

What this shows, once again, is that our systems, are checks and balances, are broken. Not working. We are hoping that our elections are not broken to the same extent, but I have serious doubts. Ultimately, it's up to us, the American people, to win back democracy.

John Andreini @jpandre52.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Why? Because they have been brainwashed by the media and the GOP for decades to consider Democrats and liberals as communists, tax and spenders, weak and too worried about minorities. No? They put a convicted felon and pedophile in the White House.

"Odd" doesn't seem like quite the right word. Terrifying? Alarming? A "Why-are-we-sitting-around-letting-this-happen" moment? The only thing that's odd is why the American people aren't rising up in the tens of millions to oppose this.

One of the things we are going to find out when Trump is gone is how much this administration has been supporting radical, violent far-right groups world-wide.

What is Iowa giving away to make this to happen? Who are the investors? How is the Trump family linked to this?
