What’s most sad about this tragedy America has been living through this last year is that it’s all manufactured. Every measure of success for the health of a nation under Biden was either well in the correct direction or climbing out, with long positive jobs growth, chips, infrastructure,

This is what we should see from the LA Dodgers. A stand to save this American democracy, that offers so much opportunity for people around the world. It’s especially true with the stellar Latin and South American players who are an integral part of Major League Baseball, the Great American Pastime!

November 4, 2025 has voting across the US. There are elections, recalls, and critical policy’s especially in California, NY, New Jersey. This is the first step in preserving our democracy and exorcizing the madness in the Whitehouse, as we build to the midterms, and the 2028 presidential election.

You can listen to a 1000 arguments from young hard right kids, who are spellbound in their support for MAGA.

But the one thing their support boils down to has nothing to do with economic policy, health, not honesty or justice.

But to turn America into a racist, white Christian nationalist state.

A reminder of the confirmation hearing of Project 2025 head, and soon to be Trump advisor, Russ Vought, who arrogantly turned truth itself into something debatable. Kellyanne coined it “alternative facts” - now a standard MAGA tool. After rewatching, it’s obvious a fascist state was always the goal.

Another presser… I’m going to be that guy… is bad grammar a requirement for that ‘homey MAGA’ schtick?

There’s no doubt (because MR. IQ uses the phrase all the time), they have to be out of “central casting” to make the team (except for stress toy Kit$ch), but do they have to be illiterate too?

Could it be that his madness within narcissism, cloaked in evil charm is so strong that we laugh at the actual mission of this creature? Are the compass directions, a hemisphere, Bush’s Axis or a bloc, and certainly the Free qualifiers too limiting for his wistful legacy - to be master of the world?

To counter MAGA leaders, we must first learn to put aside humble discourse, the assumed advance of civil human ethics. and know this is beyond the caricature of a politico.

Instead, we must view them for what they are - men unconcerned with truth, consumed by greed, and willing, violent fascists.

42, yes 42 million Americans, will be affected by cuts to food programs set to go into affect.

Ya know, these MAGA fucks keep saying they don’t want to save the the world - feed them, cure them. Ended USAID. ‘Murican stuff for ‘Muricans… right?

No, these inhumane scumbags want to kill everybody.

The dam has finally burst. Farmers, who represent the wide Republican voting block across the middle of America are, waking to the reality of this deeply corrupt president. It started with the offensive against Hispanic immigrants who began fleeing the orchards, fields, ranches and packing plants…

Anyone notice the standard “moving on” line when Republicans are asked a hard question? Every Mike Johnson presser.

A lackey question, will get you 5 minutes of detailed bullshit.

Ask about actual news. It ends in 5 seconds EVERY TIME with “No, I just heard about it, I’ll get back to you, next.”

We grew up with the adage “Money is the root of all evil.”

Parents and wise men wagged fingers behind a stern look, “and don’t you forget it,” they warned.

We’d be reminded now and again, with the arrest of a kickback councilman or internet scammer.

But nothing prepared us for the evil of Trump.

Curious.
Has anyone else become emotionally and physically drained over the last year? As though the things that occupied that time with joy and creativity have faded into afterthought, replaced by exhausting anger, debilitating frustration.

I have, and it’s all traceable to the evil would-be king.

The World Series has two great teams, the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angels Dodgers.

Wonder if dear leader will invite the Champions to the Whitehouse, per tradition?

I also wonder if either team will accept?

I’d go, to mention our US-Canadian brotherhood, then WTF did you do to the Whitehouse?

Let’s fantasize about military commanders who refuse to let our country devolve into an Orwellian nightmare.

What does their hard resistance look like? Communications, plans, coordination, materials, trust, tactics, success, victory.

How did Gen. Washington beat the redcoats, now in red hats?

Time to organize, fund and staff a new “Democratic Justice Center”.

Model it after the work of Simon Wiesenthal, who hunted former Nazis and brought them to justice.

That relentless search will be used to capture and try any MAGAs at any level, who terrorized or brutalized anyone on American soil.

Democrats. It’s time to accept that Mike Johnson has abdicated his role as House Speaker.

Go to the House chambers, gavel in all members from any party or House faction who is ready to join you.

Declare that the House is open for business and begin to address the needs of the American people.

It’s either hilarious or sad that people think lawsuits are going to stop Trump’s assault on America. No. Not his grotesque destruction of The Whitehouse, or the murders of foreigners in boats, or DHS, ICE and military in cities, or tariffs, or emoluments violations… it ends with physical removal.
October 22, 2025 at 7:22 PM
God dammit! Honorable Military leadership knows better than to stand by and do nothing while a mad fascist, who even the right, from suited conservative to dirt covered farmer, has come to realize, is destroying this nation. Tearing apart the Whitehouse is the last straw. Get him out of our House!

How absurd, how irritating that Mike Johnson has still not sworn in Arizona Rep., Adelita Grijalva.

Is he trolling the left, a majority abuse of procedure that drives them to angry pressers, and hand made protests at his empty office?

Seems silly, right? But remember Obama’s Supreme Court pick?
October 22, 2025 at 1:03 PM
What if Mike Johnson never reopens the House? What if that’s the actual plan, to string along the opening with bad reason and absurd excuse until…when? Until the midterms, (they’ll rig) or until no one cares that a branch of government, one they’re trying to dissemble anyway, actually dissolves?
October 22, 2025 at 12:33 PM
Watch. Within the next year, Trump will be telling America that he is being forced to have ICE and DHS use live ammunition rounds to disburse protestors. He will say that it’s because of the “highly dangerous lefty radicals” that are showing up at the “hate America” (No Kings) mass protest rallies.

Worth looking into - Bluesky settings. You may be missing out on some good, justifiably terse posts that may be getting filtered by Bluesky defaults.
On your page select Home icon, “hamburger” at top, Moderation, select (at bottom) Advanced. Consider each option, especially those lower on the list.

What a beautiful morning.

We have revitalized our collective American soul in cities large & small across the country. Great masses of citizens from every demographic gathered to reject the evil and greed, the cold brutality of a would-be king.

Today, there is joy & hope on a beautiful morning.
