He needs to take more of these international trips. Maybe it will eventually wake America up to the fact that modern "conservatism" has had the obvious effect of keeping us ignorant, stagnant, and riddled with authoritarian crime.

Republican perversity and Democrat fatalism are both bolstered by an assumed ignorant majority. Political bumper stickers are a show of force and encouragement. This one's just a fantasy pick. You do you. Just make sure you do it before this November and keep the momentum growing through 2028.

Love how neo conservatives always use terms like "Save America", "Patriot", and "Freedom" when the fine print always reflects the opposite.

Republicans rarely have proof for anything they claim, but they will claim it loudly, sometimes for years on end. They seem to expect their supporters to embrace the prejudice and never follow up. I'm surprised we don't all shoot this crap down with an immediate "put up or shut up" these days.

If you've never been outside the US for more than a week (or at all), you owe it to yourself to go. Go now. 95.6% of humanity is out there, and they aren't all "lacking freedom" or "drowning in tax" or "living in squalor" or "crime-infested" or any other BS being fed to you.

Republicans are using AI to troll America. This is why their statements all sound like standard social media ragebait. Try it yourself: ask an AI to come up with right-wing spin on a subject regardless of truth. It. Will. Be. Indistinguishable.

This is meaningless money to him at this point. Trump makes well over $6M a week just on the interest from grift, insider trading, market manipulation, and kickbacks. He needs to be reassessed based on his new net worth embezzled from the American people.

My fellow Christians who still have faith in MAGA: Tune out the noise. Take an inventory of things people have complained about with Trump's five years in office. Now read all Trump's posts. You say The Deceiver is at work in the world. What would that *actually* look like to you?

Government is no longer beholden to the people. There's no effort to justify their decisions to a critical, adjudicating public. It's apology rather than permission (if even that). Sure, we can vote out the person, but we're still helpless against the person's actions. We need to change this.

Gas at the pump this morning: $5.59 / gal. Wonder how many of the "Biden did this" sticker crowd are aware enough to see how progressive democrats are not the problem, strong-man authoritarians--Putin's attack on Ukraine and Trump's attack on Iran--are, and always have been, the problem.

"You have to get elected first." I will always remember Trump saying this to a fan of his. He was quite clear about his intention to lie to get in to office. Many on the ignorant right think "well, all politicians lie, just look at Biden and Obama!" My sweet summer child, it's not even close.

LoL'd at an email I received today. CC interest stayed around 14.5% from 2009 to 2018. Only recently have banks gone off the rails thinking 21.74% is a great balance-transfer deal. In other news: Trump has ended the CFPB, which will close down in 2026 due to lack of funding...

A spinning top’s wobble precedes its eventual fall. Every rule and tradition that’s destroyed in favor of empowering the executive branch adds more wobble between administrations. Soon entire presidencies will be spent simply undoing what’s been done by the previous administration.

We the people task Congress to make laws, oversee the Executive branch, and run the budget. Regardless of why, they are clearly incapable of performing their asigned duties. We have given them feedback, an improvement plan, and time to fix their flaws. It's now time to let them go. All. Of. Them.
