Old man with more experience than most.
Happyish New Year. Democratic Party needs to learn from the past rather than merely repeating it.
Yes. There needs to be a specific campaign theme and promise to get rid of ICE.
Everything about it is anti-American.

Particularly in the U.S.
All western politics and politicians seem to have been “captured” by Russia and Russian interests

DOdGEy was a catastrophe. Hundreds of thousands of people put out of work. Destruction of USAid has been linked to the deaths of at 600000 mostly children in the countries receiving aid. Federal spending in 2025 is up more than 460 BILLION dollars.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

I am sick to death of these closed door testimonies. I want to hear the questions and the answers. I have no doubt that the MAGAs will spin it as some sort of exoneration of Trump and an indictment of Biden.
Jack Smith will testify behind closed doors tomorrow. I’ll discuss with @simonesanderss.bsky.social at 11:40 pm ET on @msnowreports.bsky.social

Netflix also cancelled a successful series, Boots, to appease Trump and Hegseth because it was about a gay high school graduate who joined the Marines in 1990.
One of the most guaranteed epic fails imaginable… too bad “nobody wants this” was taken as a title 😕

Ronald Reagan was the second bad apple after Nixon in the Republican basket of bad apples. The rot has consumed the entire basket. The Republican basket needs to be entirely tossed out. It is a party highly deserving of political extinction.
Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

I said to a MAGA earlier this week online when she accused me of having TDS, that the only people with TDS are MAGAs.

Trump surrendered in 2019, which allowed thousands of ISIS prisoners to escape from Kurdish controlled Syria and northern Iraq. Now, he chases imaginary Antifa while ISIS continues to recover.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

LOL! This just made me laugh out loud.
Imagine being the turkey that Trump pardon this year...zero credibility with your fellow turkeys. And they'll probably think you're in the Epstein files.

This is what led to trust busting under Teddy Roosevelt, but he was not intent on creating a dictatorship and the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation didn't exist.
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It's indoctrination of the worst sort that targets children. Nazis and Marxists did the same thing.
Hey, just reminding you Charlie Kirk was an awful person that said hateful false things to other awful people. His espoused beliefs were anti-Christian and Turning Point USA is a dangerous organization grooming your kids.

Mike Johnson put the house into recess SIX WEEKS AGO before the government shutdown to protect Trump from the Epstein files. GOP representatives are on vacation and Trump says he no longer needs Congress.

There was a substantial and entirely peaceful demonstration in our little burb. People who recognise that we must push back against the evil of MAGA and a Trump dictatorship.
