Oh PUH-lease.Even if Democrats ALL get behind Supreme court reform,Repugnatcans are in control of all bodies of government that COULD vote to reform the supreme court.Meaning it isn't going to happen conventionally.Even if Dems won all of the elections,it will take years before anything happens.

You keep saying "should"like it somehow will fix itself.It won't.People will have to fix it,do something about it.Florida is run by people JUST LIKE DeSantis.Meaning nothing is going to be done until THE PEOPLE DO something. Saying "something" online is just saying "something".

Print it as large as you want.It all comes down to what American citizens will do to make democracy stay intact.The people have to do something real about it,or nothing will be done.And you will see perversions of all the ideas that make this America.It will die.DO SOMETHING REAL ABOUT IT.

Folks,fight things like big brother and flock now while its possible.Do anything you can to short circuit.Because think about the worst it can do,and if you can conceive it can be achieved by someone.If you can they COULD.Get rid of things that might one day be used against YOU and I.

I find it interesting that no one has thought of what will happen when things get MUCH worse.What happens when a consumer economy stops consuming?What are the poor gonna do?What will a person do, that has nothing to lose anymore?There is no vent or relief valve in place now for revolt.There isn't.

Its all shoulda woulda coulda.At this very moment,anyone with a different idea of America has NO VOICE.We have no representation.TrAmp and the Repugnatcans are not going to start doing the right things magically,when have they ever?What happens when regular people have no outlet or release?

And as it always has been,other cheaper ways to replace workers were thought of and approved.Betcha a cookie its computers and AI.Folks,we are going to HAVE to take back what we have lost.Dont you all get it yet?We can do it now while we're strong,or later when we're weak and hungry.Which is easier?

No,TrAmp lies to them daily, telling the weak minded and uninformed its just fake news and lies from Democrats.If they looked at facts,they wouldn't have elected TrAmp at all.Or if they HAD learned better, they wouldn't have elected him the 2nd time.So what makes you think they will change now?

With respect.The "race to the bottom"is not a clear description of our problems here.We have no equality in the supreme court.Meaning it only represents Repugnantcan interests.The call for adding more justices is a great idea,but USELESS.Because TrAmp would pick them.Otherwise,he wont let it happen.

Think about this. If FOX news were gotten rid of with a vengeance, imagine the turn around in the other news services.If people were to actually hold other people and entities responsible for what they do, imagine how things could be.IF THEY DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT FOR REAL RATHER THAN CHAT.

And no one is doing anything about TrAmp being unhinged and unwell.Tired of just hearing how we should do this and do that.And no one does a damn thing.And here I am in a red state,hiding TrAmp hats and flags in stores behind the furniture.

AMEN.But voting is the very LEAST a citizen can do.Donate,volunteer,make and distribute fliers,convert a neighbor.DO SOMETHING TODAY,don't wait for November 3rd,because repugnantcans LOVE hearing how you wont do a thing until November.It means nothing is done while they cheat away the vote.

VOTING IS THE VERY LEAST YOU CAN DO.Be a real citizen,vote,volunteer,donate time and money,understand the issues,short circuit Repugnatcans in every way,just do something! DO something real today.

Rod Watson @rjw72.bsky.social · 19h
I don't trust it. It is NOT a blue wave folks.DO SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST VOTE.DO SOMETHING NOW> DONATE,volunteer,convert.DO anything you can to short circuit the repugnantcans at their own cheating.

The judge is useless.The judge had more than enough evidence that TrAmp and his doings don't follow orders.The judge could have ruled more effectively, with law enforcement involved in the process.This is how the earth will die,folks.

TrAmp does NOT believe that.TrAmp only is saying that because the shock value benefits him and the Repugnantcans.TrAmp will NEVER answer from what he was taught.He will never answer with common sense.And TrAmp does not rely on a real professional to tell him what is real.Because its only about him.

Pfft...She ain't got the guts.None of that administration have the guts to tell the facts, to tell the truth according to anyone else other than TrAmp.They stopped being real Americans when TrAmp hired them.

You gotta remember,the repugnantcans are just gonna lie about it all.The war will be over soon.We will soon have better healthcare.You can afford everything now.Blah blah blah.They aren't even into facts anymore.And facts are just something Democrats make up as false news.

I keep wondering,when is too much going to happen in America, for real people to actually do something more than just vote.Whats it going to take?When TrAmp endorses himself as "official dictator of America"? Or when he renames America has "Trumpland" or something?

Rod Watson @rjw72.bsky.social · 19h
And he is not wrong.Though I will say, he likely forced TrAmp even further in not liking him or the Ukraine.TrAmp is a petulant child with limited harsh emotions.TrAmp holds grudges easier.TrAmp doesn't give in, and always doubles down on his decisions. TrAmp lacks an inner diagnostic.

Unless the PEOPLE act,and I mean physically {not just vote}the only people in American that can make congress do things like term limits and exclusions,is congress itself.Meaning they are SUPPOSED to self regulate and self police.See what I mean?DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.DO something REAL.JUst DO.

Rod Watson @rjw72.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
I keep waiting,hoping that we have some kind of super hacker that could take over TrAmps posts.But apparently, all the great hackers and coders are in Russian and China?A pity the Democrats cant enlist a really good one.We suck.

In this gun crazy country,I wonder how long it will take for people to use their right to guns to start shooting WIFI nodes I see on the outside of stores.And cameras.With air riffles even.Hmm.

Rod Watson @rjw72.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
What I do know,is I don't have Walmart+.I have no intention of ever having it. I have no intention to shop only via my phone in store.I wont use their WIFI.I guess Walmart is using the fact so many people WANT to be lazy and "do less".

Rod Watson @rjw72.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
I wonder,is if that fancy new AI that Walmart is using is going to try and figure out what humans will do if they DONT want to be tracked.I realize a certain amount of humans will right away rebel in any way they can.God know I do.I hate walmart enough where I find reasons not to spend money there.

Walmart-Home of predatory online pricing.Home of no inventory control that makes sense.Home of the no management to complain to.Home of no employee caring.Home of where the customer has to become the employee to actually purchase things.

PFFT-Useless.The repugnantcans LOVE hearing about you waiting until you vote before you do anything.It means you wont do a thing about what THEY DO until NOV 3rd.By then,more cheats and cuts will be done by Repugs and MAGA.DO SOMETHING TODAY.NOW.Not then,because by then might be way too late.

Rod Watson @rjw72.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
I wish people would stop with this "blue wave"Nonsense.I AM a Democrat,and I am TIRED of seeing all of these threatening "blue wave"memes.You cant claim a "blue wave"until AFTER the election.Otherwise you are just helping repugnantcans by making Dem voters feel like its in the bag,so why vote?

Us old people had to learn about doing "reports" and"papers" in school.In them,we had to show our sources,and prove our facts.We actually had classes called "Critical thinking",where we had to see an issue,gather given facts from both sides of an issue,and be able to make an informed decision after.

No one is doing a damn thing to hold TrAmp accountable.Talking is not doing.Talk begets Talk.Doing DOES.

I hope Zelensky goes even harder and deeper at Russia.If you take away the oligarchs ability to get and make money, Russia will fall.Blow up AI centers,internet servers,phone systems everywhere in Russia.Better do it quick.

We have yet to see Jefferies really do anything with a spine.He talks the talk,just like so many people today that mistake talking for doing something.Medicare/cade still got slashed.Insurance gutted.Cost of living increased.Dems haven't done anything about them.And more.

I voted for Harris.I voted for Biden, and for Hillary.But I hope that Kamala Harris does not run again.American is NOT mature enough to elect a female President.Heck,America wasn't mature enough to handle a man of color as President.We are seeing the results of that presidency daily now.

And I can hear the right wing "christians" when they look at this cartoon or hear news of the cost of Ukrainian lives for Russian diesel.They will all say things like"but its the Ukraine,not us" and the ever popular chant of the repugnantcan party "thats not my problem".

Someone, some day, is going to take care of business.It might not happen soon enough for your or my tastes.But it will happen.Talk begets talk.Cruelty only finds cruelty.

Keep the records folks.IF we Dems do win, repugnantcans are going to do their level best to erase all wrong doings they did.And you better bet your bottom dollar that TrAmp WONT be giving out free money to anyone but repugnantcans,if at all.TrAmp does NOT have a great record paying his bills.

Court judge is furious blah blah blah.I am waiting for someone to actually do something about TrAmp.Other than words.Talk begets talk.No one lifts a finger.Of course TrAmp knows that.He WILL do what he please.And if someone is "furious",he doesn't care.He will just concoct a lie about it and go on.

Rod Watson @rjw72.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
I dont believe that.While yes,of course, it is true we have taught selected versions of our past.But we do teach its history.Perhaps some are guilty embellishment or repression of facts.Some are outright liars to gain benefit from the uninformed.But our history is more available than most countries.

LOL, awesome.Bet they didn't think of that at all.

The way TrAmp tells his cult followers how to slice bagels. And they do it everytime.

I thoroughly believe we have no real clue who God is.The Bible was re written by men numerous times in history to accommodate various rulers beliefs of those times.History itself has proven God doesn't interfere with mans decisions,which is evident in the re writing of the Bible.
