Instead of spending billions each day on this stupid war with Iran, why not spend that money building other pathways to get oil out of the region. Regardless of the physical and geographical challenges, I’m thinking those billions could solve the problem. Bypass Iran.

Platner is a cheesedi€k. He takes no responsibility and blames everyone else for his terrible actions. Hmmm. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?!🍊🤡

Boycott Tennessee and Alabama. Don’t travel there, don’t order anything from there, don’t buy anything from there. Support community organizations in those states instead.

I won’t advocate for violence to solve our political problems, but I find it naive when a reporter says a third attempt to cause harm to the president is surprising. He is the most unpopular person on the planet. Personally, I’d prefer the 25th Amendment be enacted rather than making him a martyr.

what is it going to take to get our legislators to act? I’m talking Democrats? I know Republicans aren’t going to do anything. But the democrats are supposed to be the opposition party and a strongly worded post isn’t enough. Do something! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

So the Border Patrol agent in Portland shot into the car of the two victims, as they were driving away. Per CNN. Apparently it’s the new tactic and the new normal.

The fact that this criminal administration can undertake an illegal attack and kidnapping of a head of state, and our elected leaders, both Democrat and Republican, have still not introduced articles of impeachment is further proof that we are in a dangerous situation in this country.

Our country has cancer. It’s the cancer of bigotry, white nationalism and corruption. It is rapidly eating away at our rights, our constitution and our decency. And the cure lies in the hands of the Supreme Court and the Republicans in the Congress and Senate. They are refusing us treatment.

He’s the biggest scumbag to ever hold public office, a pathological liar who refuses to take responsibility for anything he says or does. He doesn’t even try to hide his corruption and racism. I pray for the day we will be from of him.

I don’t believe, for one moment, that the 8 senators were acting on behalf of our nation. They were either incredibly naive and clueless, or there was something in it for them. They acted in their own self interest.

Dump tearing down the East Wing is like having a renter tear down a bedroom, and then put in a swimming pool, then saying, “Well, the last renters changed out the shower head without your permission. It’s the same thing”.

Every American that is physically capable of doing so needs to participate in No Kings protests, on October 18th. We have entered a new phase of authoritarianism by this regime, and massive protests are imperative at this point. Let’s get off our phones, and peacefully out into the streets.

Call in sick or take personal days during the first few days of the government shutdown, if you can. We need to slow this economy down to a trickle. Spend as little as possible for 24-48 hours. A consumer driven economic shutdown will get their attention.

It is the responsibility of every truly patriotic American to show up, stand up and speak out. It’s past time to get loud. We can’t count on our institutions. It’s time for very large, loud, peaceful demonstrations in DC. Sit in in front of the houses of Congress and outside of the White House.

If you haven’t already done so, I recommend that you listen to Rachel Maddow’s podcast, Ultra. It’s the tale of right wing extremism in the 1940s. There are nazis, racists, plans to overthrow the US government, and a few good guys that sought to bring truth to light. It’s a must listen.

In this fractious and frustrating time, it’s easy to feel powerless. The truth is, we are quite powerful, both in groups and individually. Protests and marches are valuable and important, but so is the buying power of the individual. Boycott the companies and products supporting this administration.

Please cancel your Amazon subscription. Bezos doesn’t need any more of your money. I canceled yesterday, and I know it may take more effort on my part to source things I need and want, but I just can’t stomach the greed any more. When was the last time you heard of Bezos helping the poor?

CNN and ABC are both covering the Charlie Kirk memorial service, live, as if he was a high level government official. Wt actual f? Why are so many media outlets going along with this insane push to “remember” Kirk as some kind of national hero? It’s insane. He was a podcaster who peddled hate.

Watching coverage of the royal dinner just now, I felt a deep sadness as the began to play our national anthem. The words popped into my head, and there it was. “The land of the free and the home of the brave.” Are we free? Not in the way that we used to be, and for some, there is no freedom.

The murder if Charlie Kirk is a horrible thing. He was a young dad whose two kids will have to grow up without him. It’s a very sad example of hate. That said, there was also a mass shooting at a school today. Three students were seriously injured, requiring hospitalization. Why isn’t that on tv?
