The 2020 presidential election was a chance to stop fascism. 2024 gave us that fascism. After enduring 2 years under the leadership of a mad man the 2026 midterms might be our very last opportunity to save our nation in any form. 2 more years and we will be relegated to the backwaters of history.

With the continued move towards automation and AI in the manufacturing and service sectors of our economy we are going to have to expand entitlements or (Republican heads exploding) seriously develop some sort of basic universal income for our citizens continued survival.

The worst possible thing the Democrats can do upon returning to power is try to turn back the clock to how things were pre-Trump. They must aggressively build stronger guardrails on our democracy so this never happens again. Quickly prosecute these criminals and move on to protecting our Republic.

One of the most important things that needs to be done when power is taken away from MAGA is to reform the use of executive orders. We now have concrete evidence of the damage that can be caused when a madman uses it to supercede the congressional process. This must never be allowed to happen again.

Trump has lied so much that I doubt he has ever taken a single breath without a lie coming out. The only remaining question is will he ever manage one breath without uttering a lie before the air leaves his lungs for the last time. Honestly, I don't think there is even the slightest chance.

The press won the right to get into the White House press room. Constitutionally it is a great victory. To a tired America it sounds like they got the right to hear a liar lie in the house of lies and he gets to choose who can question the lies. And that, somehow, still feels like a loss.

When Trump finally passes I don't know who is going to have the harder time --the biographer who tries to include all the evil he has done or the legal author who tries to include every law Trump has broken. I'm sure both will be multiple volumes and closely resemble old-fashioned encyclopedias.

Food for thought. We grow up with our parents telling us how special we are. Most of us aren't. What makes a person truly special is what they choose to do with the less than perfect biological equipment we are issued. It is your hopes and aspirations; your kindness and empathy that truly matter.

Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that the Trump administration is importing thousands of tons of beef without disclosing its source at the same time they have decided to destroy thousands of wild horses? I'm not saying the two are connected but the timing seems too perfect to be a coincidence..

Graffiti is considered a criminal act in most places across America and those caught can face fines and jail time. But when Donald Trump attempts to do that exact thing to every government building in Washington half the country turns a blind eye and secretly cheers him on.

I saw someone was calling for term limits for Congress and age limits as well for them and the president. I'm of the firm belief we should also require an IQ test before they are even allowed to enter their races. If you need proof it's necessary, just look at what we have right now.

The right say we can't have universal healthcare because it will cost 3 trillion dollars a year while we the people are spending 6 trillion and it is projected to be 9 trillion within a decade. I still don't know how they manage to sell this bullshit to enough people to keep us from moving forward.

The fascist Trump cult called for a ban on people of the Islamic faith from the 9/11 anniversary. Do we also ban every Catholic from Oklahoma City on 4/19 each year because a former member of the faith chose to blow up a federal building there in 1995? Blame the people responsible, not the faith.

I find it amusing that Trump, after bemoaning the rigged 2020 election for over 6 years and claiming this midterm will be rigged, has realized his election lies aren't working with his base and now thinks outright bribery is going to save his party.

You would think some Republican members of Congress would see the drag Trump has created on their reelection campaigns and distance themselves in an effort to preserve their seats but they all seem content to remain in lockstep with a senile old man and go down with the sinking ship.

Seeing that Trump is on such a rampage of renaming places, I have a question. Do any of the Trump's still maintain a residence in the Jeffery Epstein memorial tower in New York? Or is it just another abandoned island where unspeakable things used to happen?

As MAGA devours its own it is important to remember there are three groups that created it. The gullible who will vote for anyone on their party's ticket, the fundamentally stupid who don't know better and the evil who will do anything as long as they profit in money, fame or power.

It has been confirmed an infant in Pennsylvania died of measles. I am old enough to be among one of the earliest groups to receive vaccines in our rural community. A time when most families had a member within memory who had died or was seriously maimed by this terrible disease.

There are thousands of researchers whose decades of work were close to FDA clinical trials that are now taking their work to other countries and those treatments will not be available to us for decades to come thanks to policies from the Trump administration.

Over the last year or so France has quietly moved its gold reserves out of the United States. Now the Netherlands is doing the same. This is just another example of how Trump is destroying the superpower status of the United States. One man has destroyed a powerful nation in less than two years!

The US has outspent the next 8-10 countries combined on the military yearly since the Reagan era and Trump has burned through our stockpiles in a matter of months fighting a war with no gains, no objectives and no end in sight and all so a soft little man could pretend to be a tough guy.

Cattle farmers voted Trump. Tariffs and Doge destroyed the foreign market for American beef. Prices collapsed and massive herds were eliminated. Now we have a shortage and high prices as farmers attempt to rebuild herds. And the leopard is biting their faces off again by importing foreign beef.

Mitch McConnell is supposed to be alive but is probably dead. Trump is still alive even though he looks like he died weeks ago. A strongly anti-gay senator is supposedly very much a gay man. And a often suspected closeted gay senator is dead. I've got all that on my score card. Did I miss anything?

Republicans don't want universal healthcare because --- it's better that tens of thousands of citizens die and hundreds of thousands more are denied preventative care each year than it is to let a single penny of benefits go to an immigrant; legal or illegal. That is the textbook definition of evil!

I find it odd that I, a progressive, have such reverence for our history while the conservatives around me yearn in such a nostalgic way for a bygone era while actively doing everything in their power to destroy historic sites, erase important people and to dismantle our traditions.

Groceries keep going up and there is no oversight to make sure food is safe. For those wondering why, spend a little time with the project 2025 book. It's in there. Part of the agenda is to create food instability issues to make the populace more compliant and easier to manage.

Farmers and ranchers consistently vote Republican because they are terrified of socialism. Ironic considering their co-ops, associations and organizations protecting their livelihoods are the best representation of actual socialism that we have in this country.

Republicans in Congress are so afraid of Donald Trump that they are remaining silent as he escalates his trade war with Canada. They do this knowing full well that it is going to turn all northern states, especially rust belt states, into an economic wasteland because of the sudden loss of trade.

The sad thing is 20 percent of our population voted for evil because that's what they want and 10 percent voted for it believing the evil wasn't real. Around 30 percent of us voted against it. The saddest thing is that the remainder of our population willingly chose to not stand up against evil.

The United States maintained the largest GDP for decades because of vigorous trade with the world and sales made to a thriving American middle class. Republicans have continuously shrunk the middle class for the last 40 years and Trump's tariffs are ending the global market. Collapse is coming!

"We the people," and "Government of the people, by the people, for the people,". We need to remember we are the people and we elect our leaders. They are not our masters. Instead they are our servants. There is no ruling class. They should be removed to make room for true servants of the people.

With all the rats leaving the sinking ship that is the White House, I think Bugs Bunny would be proud because it's definitely duck season. And the lame duck that is Donald Trump knows it. It goes a long way to explaining the latest round of stupid things this administration is attempting.

When asked about foreign policy Lindsey Graham's sister didn't behave like a Republican. She admitted to not knowing a single thing on the subject. She recovered quickly and went on a stereotypical Republican rant about trans people and protecting the children. Her constituents deserve better.

If only Canada had maintained better border policies in the past grandpa Trump would never have been able to cross over and operate a whorehouse in a gold rush town forming the seed money for the generational wealth of the Liar in Chief. Being a liar and conman is institutional in that family.

I will never understand the MAGA cult. They view every word from Trump as gospel even though he lies about everything. The only truth he has uttered is when he says his name and I'm not completely convinced about that! Maybe we should be asking to see his birth certificate!

Calvin Coolidge was the first truly conservative Republican president. He was responsible for immigration limits and the creation of the border patrol. That shows that Republicans have been afraid of brown people coming to this country for at least a hundred years.

RFK Jr is claiming the polio vaccine has killed more people than polio itself. I am nearly as old as him and I've never met anyone who has known someone who died of the vaccine, but I have known people whose family members died and many more whose families members were severely impacted by polio.

Reagan gave us trickle down economics that didn't trickle. Newt Gingrich gave us the moral majority which was neither moral or a majority. The tea party gave us lies as a political strategy. Trump is just the final form of a disease that infected the Republican party more than 50 years ago. Fatal?

Nero remained safe in his palace while Rome burned and Hitler hid in his bunker as the allies destroyed the last of the German army. Apparently our brave leader hides in a food cart. Not only are his people ashamed of him, he is an embarrassment to all the evil dictators throughout history.

The hatred for Islamic politicians is exactly the same as it was for JFK because he was Catholic and of Irish descent. Not too many years before that Irish people were hated because they weren't white. It seems a certain percentage of the population must always have something or someone to hate.

Starting with Reagan the US spent ever increasing amounts on the largest, most technological superior stockpile of weapons the world has seen. Donald Trump used the entire inventory in a matter of months firing into the mountains of Iran with no effect, leaving America looking weak and stupid.

It constantly amazes me that those who are the strongest supporters of the 2nd amendment seem to understand it the least. We have the explicit right to keep and bear arms in defense against a tyrannical government not to use them in support of the very tyrant the constitution warns us about.

The Trump administration has announced that the K shaped economy is over and prosperity is just ahead. They have also said the strait is open, gas is under 2 bucks and inflation is down. What a glorious, totally real and not exaggerated time it is for those who live in fantasy land.

We've had presidents that were racists and those who were imbeciles. We've had dishonest presidents and those who were only in it to aggrandize themselves. Donald Trump is the first time in our 250 year history we've had a president who embodied all these undesirable traits in a single person.

In 7 months this year we have had over 2,300 measles cases. That is more than double the number we had from 2002-2016 combined. This is a totally preventable disease experiencing a resurgence because of fear mongering and the total incompetence of our government leaders.

I am firmly convinced a full third of Americans vote the way they do because they are addicted to being afraid. It doesn't really matter what they are afraid of just as long as there is something - anything. They aren't truly content until they are scared shitless. Make it make sense.

Decades of politicians have complained about illegals but have done nothing because fake social security numbers equals billions in tax dollars that can't be claimed in refunds. The Trump administration is the first to actively try to destroy this government cash cow.
