Unfortunately, a lot of people need to see things affect themselves first.

The thing I am holding onto is that people are not accepting this as normal. People are protesting. People are documenting. This is not sustainable. This will end and we will rebuild.

Having a gun doesn’t. It’s what you do with it. I’m not a gun owner (friends & family are). If you’re smart, nobody knows you have it.

This is where our critics are right. It’s about oil.
January 14, 2026 at 6:03 PM
It’s ugly, but it’s not the end. You are proof of that because you aren’t accepting this as normal - and you are not alone.

I don’t have a problem with those laws, but it is more complicated than just saying it was self defense.

He attacks Venezuela, captures its President, declares himself the Acting President of Venezuela (and more)…because of the drug trade…THEN does this? 🤔

I had no idea he had anything but Dilbert associated with him.

Ah, yes. These are trying times. I wasn’t aware of the AI. Reality is bad enough.

Agents in ICE may be able to justify their actions because they think they’re serving their country. That becomes harder to believe when the country is telling you “you should be ashamed of yourself”, referring to YOUR actions as a moral crisis etc.
January 13, 2026 at 1:48 PM
These words & signs matter more than you know. It signals to people in government - including ICE - that the People are watching and that they WILL be held accountable. It’s just a matter of when.

Funny that we never saw any Mass Protests during the terms of “Sleepy Joe” Biden

It’s all a political calculation.

The Republicans are asking if it costs more to support him or if it costs more to oppose him.

What do you think will happen if impeachment 3 fails to remove him? Will it embolden him further?

I knew it!!! I knew someone out there would get it done!

Now that I see it, I can’t unsee it. It’s the fists. I’m sure someone can doctor it so we have a version of him holding a walker.

I’m not sure how to read his expression - but it doesn’t say “badass” to me.

Example: A smaller, defunded IRS can’t go after the wealthy tax cheats.

A smaller government can’t bust monopolies or protect consumers.

A smaller government cannot provide a safety net…
January 12, 2026 at 3:57 PM
I disagree with the smaller government idea. We need an effective government and a smaller government won’t be able to be effective.

Hate can’t be eliminated by war - or anything, really. Didn’t you watch Star Wars?

Fear leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering…suffering leads to rage, rage leads (can lead) to hate…

The fact that multiple churches offered them worship space is good to hear.

I also find it interesting that he was burned by the fire he set AND that he told the hospital the truth about how he got burned.

I should clarify that an impeachment CAN do some things besides remove or fail to remove someone from office: get sworn testimony, subpoena records etc - but if it fails, it can also be used as evidence of a “witch hunt” etc.
January 12, 2026 at 5:05 AM
You need a majority in the House to impeach…and even then, you need 2/3 of the Senate to convict.

Impeachment #3 would be another stain for Trump to bear, but it won’t remove him so long as the GOP Senators are loyal to him.
January 11, 2026 at 4:11 AM
This is good. This will move change along, even if it is slowly.

It’s one thing to tell yourself that your violence is done as service to your country. When the country makes it clear that you are NOT serving it, that belief is harder to maintain.
January 11, 2026 at 4:07 AM
Right. They need to frame peaceful protesters and observers as “enemy”. That lets them justify their actions.
January 10, 2026 at 8:26 PM
No. It’s enough. You can obviously think for yourself and conclude that she was murdered. You don’t need NPR to validate that.

When the Trump administration is over and another administration puts him on trial, that will be far more important than an article using the word “murdered”.
January 10, 2026 at 8:23 PM
“They already think he’s a murderer because the news already convicted him”.

If I’m wrong about that, it could still be used by Trump (Trump vs. media & lawsuits)
