Let us all extend our best wishes that Trump eventually makes it out of being a junior high boy.

Yes, This is the way.

Now use those participant numbers to follow-up with boycott threats against corporations if they don't prevent their home states from Gerrymandering for Trump.

Now imagine how many of those 7M bank w/ Bank of America. Then imagine what would happen if those people told BofA they were going to switch banks if North Carolina, BofA's home state, Gerrymanders. Same for Coca Cola.

Now imagine repeating that across all states pursuing Gerrymandering for Trump.

Any chance this could be made mandatory training for all Dem candidates?

Next up needs to be boycotts against large companies in states which are Gerrymandering to take away our right to elect our own representatives. The large companies in a state have the ears of the state government. Tell those companies they best tell the legislators to NOT Gerrymander.

Well, hey. The wealthy elite like those who own and host FoxNews think Medicaid works better when it's cut by $1T in order to help fund tax gifts for the wealthy elite.

To paraphrase Marie Antoinette, "Let 'em use bandaids."

More jobs are created from change than from staying with the status quo. That isn't an argument for arbitrary change, but it is an argument for rejecting the efforts by those getting rich off the status quo to block change.

There has been a long history of justification for political violence on the right. A LONG history. One of the very underlying claims by the rightwing for the right to own a gun is for shooting those who they perceive are trying to oppress them.

This is the way. (Yeah, I couldn't resist.)

Clearly the Trump Regime is the one in chaos.

The wealthy elitists who own and host FoxNews are busy telling hard working Americans why losing healthcare so the FoxNews wealthy elitists can get tax breaks is a good thing.

Mad King George III used the military to try and oppress Americans also. I remember my US history books in school telling me how patriotic it was for our ancestors to refuse to be oppressed. Good to see so many American patriots out carrying forward the legacy of our nation's Founders.

Thank you vets for showing up and joining others in patriotically carrying forward the No-Kings legacy of or nation's brave Founders.

Yes. Now add messaging to form kinship w/ rural folks being squeezed. LOT of common ground in abuses inflicted upon both urban & rural. It's only divisive propaganda gen'd by wealthy elitists who own & host FoxNews that keeps us divided. Hold out your hands to bridge the divide for common cause.

Awww... Did his neighbor's kids draw a viscous nasty hopscotch board on his sidewalk? Did he forget to sit on his front porch with his shotgun ready to murder any kid who sets foot on his grass? Did he smoke a bit too much weed and got a bit paranoid?

Democrats need to talk about the pre-ACA days Rs want to take us back to. 48 hour emergency room wait times because that's where all the uninsured went for healthcare. Ambulances being diverted two and three times because of overcrowded ERs.

Can't wait for Vance to grow up and focus on real issues.

Under Biden we had a record streak of job creation greatly exceeding the labor pool producing wage increases above inflation at rates not seen since the 1960s and inflation almost back to target. In record time Trump destroyed all that. Growing inflation and a labor market with flatlined wages.

At the UN one's own team is responsible for managing the teleprompter. Not everyone who addresses the UN even uses it. The Finish President delivered an incredibly intelligent educated address (in contrast to Trump) without using the teleprompter. Totally worth watching -- unlike Trump.

One would think Trump steering China's soybean purchases away from US farmers and to Argentinian farmers would have been enough. Argentina First!

Would it be possible for Google translate to translate Trump Gibberish into English?

You left out the amount the Republicans exploded the deficit with their tax gifts to wealthy elitists like the owners and hosts of FoxNews.

Uhhh... California wasn't even a slave state.
