What is amazing to me is that are a large number of MAGA that will believe both of these statements and not see any problems. The destruction of the Ed dept, seems like a policy choice to keep American ignorant. At every opportunity, we must vote out all Republicans from every level of government.

I believe that it is obvious that Trump is merely a figurehead for the cabal of oligarchs that are truly running our country. He does not have the wherewithal to be President. At all opportunities, we must vote out all Republicans from every level of government. Failure to do this will be fatal.

If we are to end the tyranny of the ultra wealthy we must add a new constitutional amendment:

"Money is not speech, it is property. Corporations are not people. Only people my contribute to political organizations and only for a limited amount."

Without this, our government is for sale.

Previously, Republicans used to contrive fabrications to hide their actual corruption. Trump no longer cares. His disdain for the rule of law and our constitution is obvious. It is all about the Venezuelan oil. The oligarchs that actually run the country want the oil. Another war for oil.

Speaking truth to power. Thank you, Senator Kelly. You are an example of integrity and honor.

I agree that getting single payer universal healthcare will be difficult. There are billions of dollars invested in our profit based healthcare system. On the other hand, voting in representatives that actually support working Americans would significantly increase the odds. That is what I'm for

I hope this is indeed the case. Given Trump's ability to inflict fear and pain, I'm sure this will go nowhere.

This process is not new, but it is escalating.

If stopping the drug trade was the goal, then you would use interdiction. If you did that, then you would have the evidence of the crimes. Trump's pardon and his action in blowing up the boats shows us that there is another goal. The oligarchs running the government want the Venezuelan oil.

While this maybe true, I think it misses the point. All of the cabinet level people in the Trump administration are incompetent to hold their jobs. The real administrators are the oligarchs that are the cabal running the country.

It seems that Trump has been reduced to only expressing ad hominem attacks on people. Many years ago, when I debated in school, if anyone offered an ad hominem attack, the debate was over the person that made the attack lost. It is a working example of how corrupted the US media that nothing is said

Trump has decided that if the news is bad, he will simply not have it published. This is an extremely bad idea as many groups and industries rely on that data. Trump could not care less. If it makes him look bad, you will not get the data.

Senator Kelly has spoken the truth. That is an anathema to the Trump administration. No wonder they are gong after him. Senator Kelly is a hero and a patriot. I hope this ends soon for him.

I think these heinous actions will continue given that these racist feel empowered by the actions of the Trump administration. I am glad that the racist was fired. There is no place in American for that kind of hate.

As long as Trump has the GOP SCOTUS in his pocket, this will never happed. If you think that won't happen, I remind you that the GOP SCOTUS has already denied the 4th amendment with their decision of it is ok to stop someone because they are brown or speak Spanish. The corruption is complete.

I wish that was true. He will just ascribe those posts to someone else.

Democrats: The US is the only industrialized nation on earth without single payer universal healthcare. We do NOT want half baked measures, we want what every other industrialized nations have. Propose single payer universal healthcare as a remedy to a system that is killing us for profits.
November 30, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Trump has created a government for billionaires by billionaires. All the focus of the administration is getting even more money for his billionaire buddies. He could not possibly care less about anyone else. Vote out every Republican to save this nation.
November 30, 2025 at 9:48 PM
If you are wealthy and you grease the palm of Trump, you can get a pardon. I cannot think of any other President that has acted like this. His contempt for the rule of law is disgusting. We must vote out every Republican from every level of government at all opportunities.

Beyond the huge expenses, I am more concerned about the massive time that Trump take to play golf. Yes, other Presidents played golf, but not to the extent that Trump does. It really points out that the government is run by a cabal of oligarchs. Trump is just the ruthless figurehead.
November 30, 2025 at 9:40 PM
While I can hope that justice is served, the Trump administration will close ranks and there will be no incriminating data available. When lying is the norm, getting true information is almost impossible.
November 30, 2025 at 9:37 PM
I agree that the ruling is just and good. The chances of that ruling being adhered to is zero. Trump feels empowered to do whatever he wants and it seems that no one is standing in his way.
November 30, 2025 at 2:23 PM
This is just a guess, but I'm wondering if the increase is a function of fearing that this might be the last time they will be able to buy anything for their loved ones given the destruction of this nation.

Corporate American has been stealing American worker's productivity for over 50 years. The list above is the result.
