Mary you are making all the right arguments for impeachment.

The only problem is every elected official in Washington is a coward.

But when 36 per cent of eligible American voters do not vote, we deserve the clown show that is the current administration. Dark money bought the victory. Citizens United and a corupt Supreme Court have ruined public service.

Term limits and public financing of all elections would be a good place to start fixing this mess.

It takes some fortitude to wait in line all day after taking an unpaid day off from your wage slave job, just to vote for someone that is going to disappoint you, to betray you, to do nothing to improve your practical situation (Biden, Obama).

Maybe give the non-voters some credit, before you talk your heartless shit about who is responsible for American fascism.

You do not have to wait in line on day . . . blah blah. Where have you been lately???? ON another planet??? You can now vote by mail, actually you could always vote by mail but now you do not have to ask for a vote by mail form it is automatically mailed to you at least where I live on planet Earth in the good old USA!!

From his reply, you can tell he voted for the child orange felon.

Americans are responsible for American fascism. No one else. I've been voting for over 30 years, and every candidate I chose lost. Closest I came to backing a winner was when Ross Perot came in 2nd place in my state, way back in 1992. There were a couple years when my small city could send a representative down to the capital, but the GOP gerrymandered us into a larger rural district, so that's over now. Democracy is pretty over-rated, when the same things happen no matter which side you choose.

Why are you even on this page, you voted for all of this, you wanted no food stamp, you wanted no health plan, you are a part of the problem. Go back to your failing truth (lies) social, which a POTUS posting politics online in a social network is really against the law, that makes how many laws he has broken so far? I lost count at 100. Do everyone a favor, and go back to your social, and do not return, because we do not want any MAGA here unless they are willing to help against the child orange felon.

You really don't have any sense of history or even basic reading comprehension. FFS, you are exactly what's wrong with this country. Self-righteous narrow minded goof, can't see why the Democrats are even more unpopular than the most fascist and corrupt president in American history. You're just pathetic, go back to reading the CBS news or the NYTimes or whatever other Zionist armchair liberal shit you fucking enjoy.

By the way, even some republicans are now against the felon, for starving the children. That alone should be reason enough to remove the orange felon.

Guess you have not been paying attention much, the Democrats are doing a lot better than you think, in fact, the felon's ratings have dropped to 66%. Who is the self-righteous narrow-minded goof that doesn't even know grammar, and is following a felon who is tearing down the people's house, just for his ballroom and which also has a nuclear bomb shelter under it, so he can hide there, he doesn't plan on ever leaving the Whitehouse, he wants to be like N. Korea. How do you like your food prices, or your gas prices? Last I knew, he is using food against the children to force the Democrats to vote to end health care for everyone, the Democrats never have or will never use food to for a voting power. Do everyone a favor and go back to your boss's falling social group. By the way, CBS only reports what the felon wants them to, the same as all the networks, stop standing for someone that will end you like he is doing to the rest of America, that used to be the land of the free, now it is the land of the prisoners. Just leave this group, you do not plan on helping this country, so you do not belong here.

None of the votes were used for the Democrats, it was rigged, musk and the felon both at different times stated they had the voting set to favor the felon, it was on national TV. it was also investigated, and found to be true, there is nothing that can be done about it as per the report, I have not seen the report, it was what was stated, I would like to see the report though.

Maybe it will take whatever salacious revelations are in the Epstein files to open so many closed eyes. But, alas, will the files ever be released in their totality (with the names of the survivors duly protected)? Somehow I think not and that must make us all the more emboldened to demand that they be released. Public demand for those files must be like a drumbeat. We must not be distracted by the drama of the day…. And there are so many. ☹️

I hear you but the survivors already have all the info that is in the 'Epstein files.' Instead of all this horseshit about releasing the files, we could be listening to survivors and facilitating their lawsuits against guilty parties.

Roger that, but the survivors are reluctant to release the names and feel strongly that the DOJ is responsible to do that, since DOJ also has the names. The reluctance of the survivors, no doubt, stems from their fear for their own lives and those of their family members…. I get it. They have been threatened and stalked in the past. DOJ will not divulge those names unless ordered to by the “Chief of Law Enforcement”. (<— Sorry, devil made me say that. ) 🤣. And we know that’s not going to happen….

Let's not forget that the main reason that the government has been shut down is to impose crushing hardships on the American people to force us to press the Democratic Party to accept Trump's legislation to strip the lower and middle classes of health benefits, the savings from which will offset the bill's reduction of taxes for the billionaires who are funding Trump's $250 million dollar ballroom that Trump destroyed the East Wing of the White House to build. This is the cruelest kind of blackmail !

The child orange felon wants the gov shut down, he wants to reshape the gov and put military in every blue city. This is his first step for the take-over.

“Well, I dare not say I told you so. But you now know what I was met with on my way to take office - even before I had arrived at the Executive Mansion. It wasn’t yet called the White House back then, as its walls have never been white."

"Those Southern scoundrels - the slaveholders, mostly - falsely anticipated what I was about to do, and buzzed about like mindless hornets."

"Of course, they’d been planning their strategy for decades, as far as hornets can plan. And that was not by very far. My election forced their hand to strike preemptively, before they had wanted to."

"Their readiness was never of much consequence. They could never agree, no matter how hard they tried. They lacked the industry to wage war, and the manpower to sustain it."

"Their planners were drunken men who had never done an honest day’s work in their lives. They ordered men to fight on their behalf. But the truth on the battlefield is that you cannot get a man to die for another man’s beliefs -especially when he’s never even met him."

"Using half your men to force the other half to fight against their God-given will weakens your army more than any enemy ever could. That’s what these illiterate fools - who could not read the histories of nations nor the words of great philosophers - failed to understand."

"Of course, a desperate animal, when cornered, will strike with everything it has. A mad dog does the same, even when it is not cornered."

"It imagines it is, and cannot think clearly enough to run. Even a great grizzly bear would rather avoid a man than charge him. But to face something that cannot think, cannot be reasoned with - that is a truly frightening experience."

"Yet that same lack of reason is its greatest weakness. And it is what gave me the foresight to know: we would, in time, win over these scoundrels.”

This is what scares me most. Mary reminds us of just who holds the nuclear codes and I’m trying so hard not to fully freak out. 🤯😱

People will not care about much more than feeding their family, if they cannot feed their family. To care about more than that is beyond their daily struggle to put food on the table. While a majority of people probably know about climate change and the threats to our democracy, they just don't have the bandwidth to care about anything beyond feeding their family; that would be a luxury.

This is a direct result of Congress' failure to raise the federal minimum wage for 10 years plus. That is on both sides. Of people had access to security as regards housing, food and health care, they would fight for those other things.

Impeachment is off the table. They have the house and senate. He would never be impeached. And he would never leave office. He got impeached and still ran for president. Rules don’t apply to him. You can’t be a convicted felon and vote for president but you can be a convicted felon and be president. Sounds just about right Hugh. Only in America.

Exactly. People vote to punish their enemies, not improve their lives. This is going to be how politics works going forward, and Europe is doomed. Everyone over there is going to vote for punishing and killing.
