Have I told you how much I hate these people? - Mike Malloy. It is every thinking person’s responsibility not to side with his or her executioners. - Albert Camus. Popular democracy anywhere threatens fascism everywhere. - The Scallion. A fascist junta of neocons using George W. Bush as its shill has taken over America by bloodless coup. What will it take for us to stage a revolution and take our country back? - Dot Calm. Drive a hybrid. Leave a lighter footprint on the planet. - Dot Calm.
Like Granny D, I have watched my own beloved country change, and I am angry beyond words about what I see. I grew up seeing America as the equivalent of the movie good guy, the hero in the white hat who came to the rescue of those in need around the world. I have watched in silent horror as the corporations, the captains and the kings of industry, used a comparatively small outlay of cash to buy the Republicans to use as their shills. George W. Bush is the puppet cowboy-king of shills, the proverbial emperor with no clothes. Every day, I watch these evil men legalize, legitimize, and institutionalize robbing the poor to pay the rich. They are carving up America like a giant carcass and doling out choice chunks of its meat to themselves and their cronies. Since the Democrats have been sipping at the same corporate teat where the Republicans have been gorging for the past generation, the fascists are free to do their worst; there is no longer any opposition. There is no one left to stand up for the rights of the American people, the Constitution, or the democracy, which I fear will be replaced by a fascist dictatorship in my lifetime. Wake up, America: we need a REVOLUTION NOW!
Man, I miss Obama...and Biden...and Harris. I miss sanity, compassion, integrity, intelligence, capability, ....
I know that the news seems unmitigatedly grim these days, but DEMOCRACY IS HOLDING! Keep on keepin' on--we'll get there in the end!
Bruce Nelson is the Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Tom Lehrer of our age. How he crafts and produces these hilarious musical gems every day, like "Man, I miss Obama," is beyond me, but he sure is helping to keep the sane and rational among us sane and rational in these difficult times...
"Let’s Start Talking About Jail Time for Trump and His MAGA Enablers"
Accountability IS COMING. Call your Democratic electeds and tell them to remind their republican colleagues that THEY'RE BREAKING THE LAW. And, oh by the way, the Qatari flying palace was never even a gift--it was a shake-down. And, also oh by the way, trump, musk, and rfk, jr., are literally killing children dead. Once you've seen the video, read these:
Holy shit--cory booker went full maga!!!! I've had my differences with booker through the years, and I was hoping that, with his "filibuster," he'd turned the corner in favor of democracy, but booker going full maga was NOT on my bingo card! Seriously, if you vote for conman nepo-dad-in-law charles kushner, you are FULL maga, and you can GFY all the way off.
38% of American companies WILL increase prices to cover trump's tariffs--whatever happened to trump's campaign promise to LOWER prices?!??
So far, maga only cares when the SNAKE they elected bites THEM in the ass. What do you think it would take for them to develop actual empathy for other people--what do you think it would take to make them join society?
And yet maga, who make up most this 60% category, which is concentrated in red states, VOTED to give ALL THEIR MONEY to billionaires who neither earned nor need it...
david frum helped sanewash and whitewash corrupt, fascist war criminal w and thus helped build the hot steaming mess we now find ourselves in, but apparently even he has his limits...
This is NOT good news. In fact, it's a compound whammy. trump and the republicans' tax cuts for billionaires plus their exorbitant spending plus their attacks on our trading partners is ballooning our national debt. The United States, which has the largest military budget in the world, was already spending more than its military budget just in interest on the money it owes to its trading partners. When you attack your trading partners with arbitrary, unnecessary tariffs, you both decrease your trading opportunities (and thus your income from trade) and cause the interest rates on what you owe them to rise. When you couple that with overspending to give the rich even more money that they neither need nor earned, then your debt skyrockets. So, as The Lincoln Project so rightly says, "The House Republican budget will balloon our deficits, putting the US on track to borrow even more than before. No matter what they tell you, MAGA is not conservative."
Here's yet another headline from The Onion that sounds too real to be satire, especially in red states...
I still want to know whether the funeral after trump's assassination was as fun, inspiring, and exciting as she hoped it would be, since she keeps claiming she's being treated worse than President Lincoln...
