Sadly, it's no surprise that trump and the republicans voted as one to destroy us. Yes, I was hoping some would grow consciences, but, sadly, it's no surprise they all voted to kill us all.

"I wonder how rapidly MAGA would abandon their positions if we did this"

I've had the same idea, but the creator Tom Powell stitches puts it so much more eloquently: let's give everyone who votes for Democrats blue cards, and everyone who votes for republicans red cards. Then you get exactly and only the benefits you voted for according to the color of your card. Blue card? Congratulations--you get ACA, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, high-quality free public education, free public libraries, due process, decent roads and infrastructure, clean energy, science and evidence-based governance, democracy, living wages, and clean, safe, high-quality air, food, medications, and water. Red card? Congratulations--you get none of these; plus, you get exactly the day you voted for the rest of us to have. 

"You should see how they treat their women" (short)

Iran? Iraq? Afghanistan? They've got nothing on how profoundly the good ol' United States of America hates women. We literally ignored a pregnant nurse's headaches, sent her home to die, and then enslaved her brain-dead body to incubate her fetus, callously disregarding her family's wishes, until her body decayed around the severely pre-term fetus, which we then cut out of her. Oh, and we stuck the family with the bill--enough to bankrupt anyone but musk and bezos. Pro-life, amirite?

"Let's talk about Trump not knowing about Medicaid cuts...."

madame president* trump reportedly didn't know that her "big beautiful bill" --HER SIGNATURE LEGISLATION--slashes Medicaid. Um, that's not exactly some kind of compassionate flex. Which is more worrying: the fact that trump is too demented, senile, stupid, ignorant, and out of touch to KNOW what's in HER legislation, or the fact that she's too rich, sociopathic, and narcissistic to give a flying fuck?

"Oprah Winfrey at Jeff Bezos' Wedding Should Teach Us One Thing: Tax the Rich"

Angela and I agree: there is no such thing as a "good billionaire," and billionaires should be outlawed into oblivion. We need a wealth cap. The obscene wealth people like oprah have does nothing but corrupt--alas, she was never a nice person to begin with. She's a great self-promoter, but she never truly cared about the women's causes she pretended to support. She also platformed lunatics like mehmet oz. "Environmentalist" (or just mental) leonardo di caprio also attended bezos's bloated nuptials--even though he wishes you didn't know about it. Our lives, our safety, our country, our democracy--all just tawdry, insignificant little playthings to the stupid, parasitic rich.

"Let's talk about Trump's trillions in debt...."

trump added $7.8 TRILLION in DEBT to the U.S. budget IN THE FIRST TERM and is now responsible for $11 TRILLION in DEBT--that's almost ONE THIRD of our current debt. trump intends to add EVEN MORE DEBT this term, especially now that the trump-republican nightmarish "big beautiful" fascist oligarch tax cut, Medicaid-killing bill passed. NONE of this is "deficit reduction" or "fiscal responsibility," so don't be duped by republican lies. republicans fiscally responsible? - my left ass cheek! The only fiscal responsibility republicans have is for destroying this nation, its economy, and its people. What does 1 trillion look like? Belle gives some visuals.

"Let's talk about the dollar, Trump, and you...."

"trump alone can kill it." I'm talking about the American economy. My money is on trump not stopping until country goes bankrupt. Why? Because trump is doing everything possible to weaken the dollar, which, among other things, means that imports are going to cost even more on top of the already stupid trump tariffs.  

"Musk Escalates His War On Trump Making Nuclear Threat Against All Republicans"

We all know that leona musk hates us ordinary folk. But it's nonetheless satisfying to see her turn her wrath on people who actually deserve it: miss trump and her republicans. Time to pop some popcorn! 

From Pete Buttigieg:

"It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans."

I'll add: house and senate republicans need to pay for their own health care, for their own security, for trump's weekly golf vacations, and for trump's security out of their own pockets. They can afford it!
