It just occurred to me that hitler used a horrible economy to create a fascist government, while trump is using a fascist government to create a horrible economy.

Was that Wonder Woman?

That's OK. It's not a very exclusive club anyways. Anyone that wants to be against fascism can belong. They'll take anybody.

Hell, I'd be worried that list starts containing citizens!

At first, I thought that said "Read a damn book!"

This hurts to watch. You'd have to shut something off to watch this and be ok with it.

"photos emerged"
Considering they used photos of foreign police for Portland, I'd look into the veracity those photos or videos.

Can we still enroll if the government's shut down?

How many people's lives has this conman's schemes destroyed? How many of those people committed suicide when they lost everything?
Grift is not a victimless crime. And this pos doesn't care in the least.

Shouldn't he be suing for assault? What I saw looked like a felony.

"Fear the other."
"Beware of them"
Same old tired BS. Mike Johnson works for the wealthy, trying to distract us into hating other poor people.

That'd be both sad and hilarious if ICE grabbed him on the way out the door. I'm so conflicted.

Does stephen miller work for any federal law enforcement agency? Why did his name come up? That's what's scary.

He struggled with the same words that he struggled with situations.
When we stop practicing certain healthy behaviors (being vulnerable, enjoying a space, etc) does that affect our selves and our language both?
This guy showed a lot of courage to even try. Kudos.

Can We the People sue fox news for lying to us? If you need an injured party, well, that's all of us on both sides.

OK, this seems pretty bogus.
This ENTIRE article has one incident.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

This ENTIRE article is base on anonymous online posters!

Other articles have nothing to do with employees.
In terms of documented anger? There's not a lot of it.

So wait. They're going to vote no until they don't have a choice, and then vote yes to appear to be on the right side of history?
That means they know what they're doing now is historically wrong.

I don't suppose a McConnell glitch is too much to hope for?

It's not empathy to enable self-destructive behavior. People don't change unless they have to face the consequences of their actions. Once they've taken accountability, then you can help them with a clean conscience.
Bailing them out before accountability only encourages continued reckless behavior.

If you voted for trump, you shouldn't get a penny.
But somehow I feel like if there really is a bail-out, it'll be minority farmers who don't see much of that money.

That's one finger-twitch away from an execution.

"Watch as I wave my hand around, and discourse in a gentlemanly manner. My hatred is refined and reasonable."

Congrats! Not just on the repair, but on the attempt.

Bad economic news for you and me leads to the government providing stimulus to the market through rate easing and bailouts for the wealthy. They've spent decades getting laws passed that line their pockets even more, while the middle class and poor fall farther behind.

Hey God, you get a heart!

Planned obsolescence for finely tuned machines? I guess, if you're spacex, that's one way to keep the money coming in.
