“The appeasement of fascism led to everything” said a holocaust survivor. History is repeating itself before our eyes. I am a GA voter from a war veteran family. Message to anyone voting Republican: you’ve been conned. Lied to for decades.

You could add “deranged” when describing Trump. It’s about time media start reporting truth.

Again, I will simply point out that Democrats do not get to talk about human beings or Americans like this, & everyone in the Democratic Party, including our former President, that keeps saying the Democrats are the ones with the language problem are not serious people: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Biden did not cause gas prices to rise but Trump did. Too bad the American media will not print that headline. Gas prices rose during Biden/Dem term due to global inflation & in fact, Dem policies remedied it. Trump/Republican policies, in fact, have caused gas & other prices to rise.

Trump: "It's interesting -- China makes the windmills, but try finding a wind farm in China. There is no such." (China has the largest wind power capacity in the world!)

Trump suggested Iranian missiles should hit American cities. Pete Hegseth announced a public execution would be livestreamed. And Republicans are abandoning Senate races as Democrats expand the map. A consequential and, at times, deeply alarming week. Start here if you need to catch up.

The President of the United States, in front of a crowd of his supporters, during a televised rally, admits to a Quid Pro Quo pardon, which is a felony and impeachable offence. And absolutely nothing will happen, because his party, which controls congress, are fascist collaborators and sycophants.

Two months ago Trump gave a primetime address claiming China attacked US elections. Yesterday, he flew their flag on top of the Oval Office. If like me, you worked on a TV show w Trump when he rented an entire floor of Trump Tower to China’s largest bank, you won’t be surprised.
