Trump did this to us in less than 2 years and not a single Republican objected or stood in his way. Republicans want your vote so they can spend another 2 years not objecting or stopping their Dear Leader from destroying the Nation. I can't afford another 2 years of this Republican 💩 show, can you?

If Republicans had any actual integrity, they would be hoping for a blue wave in the midterm to contain the damage they have allowed Trump to do.

The one inescapable fact that should rule voting in our next election is that Republicans at every level of government supported everything Trump has done to crash our economy, ruin our international reputation and enrich himself and his cronies.

WOW! THIS SHOULD GO VIRAL! Every word is truth. His memory and understanding of current USA politics is remarkable. Sadly, daft, Fox indoctrinated MAGA Cult Sheeple are too brainwashed & conditioned by Trump’s fascist fear, hate, lies, slander, division, xenophobia, otherness, Red Scare, to know it!

The House voted to condemn “socialism” earlier this week. Listen, I’ve been in and around politics for over 50 years. I grew up during McCarthyism and the “red Scare” of the 1950s. I’ve seen all of this fear-mongering before. Here’s what’s really going on.

Just a friendly reminder that if you get to the polls and find that there is a problem with your registration, ask for a provisional ballot. Also, as long as you are in line when the polls close, you must becalloed to vote.

When did Executive Orders in the USA start being laws? We need to stop treating The DonOld Trumpstain Regime's Executive Orders as anything other than a bullshit opinion written on dirty toilet paper, without power to do ANYTHING outside of the personnel within the White House. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄😡 #Pinks

Congratulations, Gretchen Winters, on your excellent Letter to the Editor of the Arizona Daily Star today, on corruption in the Trump administration. Corruption is eating away at our democracy and undermining everything good in this country. As Gretchen says, VOTE against corruption in Nov!
Screenshot of a Letter to the Editor of the Arizona Daily Star, August 12, 2026, by Gretchen Winters, on the topic of "Trickle down corruption." The letter criticizes corruption in the Trump administration, and urges voters to vote in November to restore our system of checks and balances.

Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?

I would just wish that all the Republicans that still want the Epstein files released., know that this will not happen if Todd Blanche is confirmed as permanent AG. So Republicans will continue to be responsible for the worst cover up in American history.
