Met him tonight. Nice guy and a whole lot better than Hurd. He asked me to send him some info.

I believe that DT opposes this health care thing because it was created by Obama and his giant ego won't let this go. He has to destroy everything Obama and Biden did, but then he never keeps his promises to replace them with something 'better'. They lie to get their way.

Sounds about right, but he's also been a very busy boy destroying the lives of women, picking up where the republicans left off with terrorizing women, especially if they get pregnant and don't want to be pregnant. Natural miscarriages are a crime now, so will they charge Mother Nature?

I though they were done and there was no more killing? I don't watch mainstream media much because they don't speak a lot of truth, so missed this one.

As of 2023, 3,720,000 Americans lived outside the US. The top 2 are MX & Canada with over 1 M each. I have heard of an American ex-pat community in Panama and some in MX, did not know it was so many.

Let the pressure build on MAGA leaders, because we are pressuring Dems to NOT CAVE. We will NOT allow ourselves to be screwed over & lied to again by unscrupulous liars.

Did you know that eating meat ages you? I didn't know, but I do know that red meat causes bad cholesterol, so I no longer eat it, or pork due to the cruelty imposed on them by factor animal farms.
I can tell the diff. between me & a 1.5 years older brother who is far worse off than I am.

Planetary Health Diet - can prevent heart failure & strokes. Seems that once we hit 60, we somehow stop feeling as thirsty and drink less water. thicker blood is the result which can experience heart failure and clots that create strokes. This diet + more water intake can improve health.

MAGA's want Dems to vote to destroy their own program for health care when Repubs could change Senate filibuster rule and pass it themselves, but they want to force us to kill something the voters want so they can point fingers. Can't believe any of them EVER.

Dems, finally are NOT buying their BS anymore about 'pass this' then we'll talk about it. Heard that many times before & it was always a lie and it's still a lie. Once Dems vote with them, they'll declare it as bi-partisan and screw us over again.

This is where the money intended to feed & house the poor went to? Or, in dear leader's corrupt pockets. He steals from us all the time, or is taking massive bribes otherwise how did he go from $1b to $7.2 b in 9 mos?

"Courts across the nation are restraining Trump’s worst authoritarian impulses. Judges have ruled against Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and the U.S. military against American citizens and “blue” cities. Judges have ruled that even Trump’s tariffs are illegal." DEFEND OUR COURTS

Rep Hurd in Grand Junction sent out a lying e-mail blaming Dems for the Republican shutdown. I sent him a scathing e-mail and educated him on how the Senate filibuster works and that republicans can change senate rules so it would pass with a simple majority, but DT said he 'prefers the shutdown.'

No free press, no viewers I hope. I haven't paid much att. to any of them for a decade since they caved to DT in 2016 because they cannot be trusted to serve the nation with truth.

The death of CBS

After the announcement that The Free Press was bought by CBS, it’s become clear that the legacy media giant is fully under Donald Trump’s control.

And so the cruelty & ignorance continues around trans people. SCOTUS is clearly in the pocket of dear leader with the exception of 3 Justices who still have a brain.

Today, the Supreme Court waded back into the war on trans kids, this time with a case that could greenlight so-called conversion therapy around the country, despite the unequivocal science showing that such "treatments" are ineffective and dangerous.

Not surprised because nearly everything this regime does is illegal and/or unconstitutional.

"There is no war in Portland.
no hand-to-hand combat outside the Chicago ICE facility.
Yet, none of that matters because balance in the media has come to mean that pretending Trump’s delusions could be real is the definition of “fairness.”

After Trump cleared the way for Polymarket to operate legally in the U.S., Wall Street wants a piece of the prediction market’s profits.

Anything that was illegal before was for good reason, but this president doesn't give a crap about what's legal or not.

"The American economy is weakening — when Trump’s tariffs (import taxes) are pushing prices higher, his ICE dragnet is causing labor shortages, and he is asserting control over the Fed’s interest-rate decisions — turning the lights off on the economy is a particularly bad idea & most of us oppose it

Not sure I agree that republicans are upset at being on vacation during a shutdown, which makes them look as useless as they are, but they need to grasp that their tricks are not going to work this time.

Yeah, that'll work. Could it be that DT said not to count on getting back pay? Unpaid labor has nothing to lose by quitting a 0 pay job. Good luck replacing people that require extensive training or no one fly's.

Which is why I disapprove to allowing business to operate without rules aka regulations. Capitalism only works for all when it is restrained, otherwise we get what we have now, high prices, low wages leading to more inequality.

Majority of American's disapprove of dear leader's process of deportations.
Glad to hear it. Landing on an apt roof in Chicago and bashing all doors, destroying ID's, birth cert's, etc. beating old people, even veterans and American citizens has not earned them any kudos by former DT supporters.
