It's hard to find ways to lower prices when you're busy filling your own pockets and those of your family and friends with ill-gotten gains.

Shooting people peacefully protesting in the head and face with pepper bullets from rooftops should also be considered an illegal act. These thugs should be arrested. They are not shielded from unlawful acts of violence. Take videos of these individuals and sue them for everything they have.

Absolutely, where is the center? Is it the place that feeds the rich, subsidises Major profit-making Corporations, or one that ignores the majority on major policy issues? The Times, along with other major media, has been taken over by the same greedy individuals who are causing the problems we face

Trump is punishing the American people for not getting elected to a second term the first time. While he is doing this, he is also filling his pockets and those of the rich at he top with taxpayer dollars. The Republicans in Congress are complicit; they see what we see, and yet, they do nothing.

Trump's mental state is deteriorating fast. Is he a psychopath, yes, he is, and he is also a narcissist with a huge ego, but at 79, close to 80, with a failing mental state, he is ripe for the taking, and right now, I believe Steven Miller, the fascist that he is, is taking full advantage of this.

This is all Steven Miller. At this point, one can only wonder if he is the one really running things out of the White House.

Trump will only get worse, and we have to wonder, do the Republicans in Congress even care? I think not, they would rather worship a mentally unstable man than protect America from him. Besides, the Heritage Foundation hasn't won yet. Hopefully, they never will.

It's no secret that Trump, with the help of the Republicans, is attempting a coup. Why doesn't someone with the power to do so stop him? Everyone in our government takes an oath to defend our Constitution and Democracy. Everyone in the military does as well—time to act and honor that oath.

Freesky @freeskys.bsky.social · 8d

The video of Trump, in a jet dropping sh*t on the protesters, tells us all we need to know about how Trump feels about the American people. We are nothing, just fodder for a load of sh*t. The Republicans in Congress, by their inaction, are complicit in Trump's attack against the American people.

I would give it a 0 on Rotten Tomatoes. For a piece of fiction, it doesn't have much to get excited about, and I wouldn't recommend it to my friends. Very dry and humorless.

Not a word on the front page about the demonstrations in today's NY Times. The biggest protest ever and nary a word. The Times is owned by a billionaire who supports Trump, and he is letting him know it by keeping what may be one of the most important events of the year out of the public view.

Drunk on power, incompetent, and arrogant. The question is: who is he taking his orders from? Not Trump, he conceded his power a while ago as his mental competence faded into the twilight, and all he can remember is his desire for wealth and adoration. Who is really running our government?

Freesky @freeskys.bsky.social · 13d

The Trump administration gave 20 billion dollars to Argentina, but refuses to fund our healthcare. This is what Trump and the Republicans in Congress think of the American people. The reason the money was given is that some billionaires will profit from it. There is no profit in helping Americans.

There are good people in this country. People who want to help others, who believe everyone deserves to be treated the same, and people who care about others.
Then, on the other side of the coin, there are MAGA Republicans.
